رونوشت کامل These Bold Predictions Will Age Great (Or Terribly) | Fantasy Football Lab

the deal though, like like just one more thing on this slow draft that we're doing, 'cause why not? We're here. Genty though, like I know you're not as worried about the injury, but whispers from training camp, like they're looking to split more with Washington getting them to rethink how they're gonna treat that running back room, which I thought was a interesting take. @arlenjlove: Yeah, I don't know what I I don't know how I feel about the accuracy of that one. maybe. N8: Well dude, I mean, we're jumping into a bold predictions conversation right now. So @arlenjlove: Okay. Okay. Yeah. N8: we're I feel like if we're jumping into a bold predictions conversation, segueing into what the topic of our our little podcast is gonna be about tonight, we have to lean into some of these preseason commentary of some of the preseason commentary from some of these coaches. And I think we are a little @arlenjlove: That is N8: bit in some of these takes. @arlenjlove: That is what we are talking about today. So today we've got our bold predictions episode. these are not necessarily things we think are going to happen. These are things that, you know, we're throwing it out there so that if we're wrong, we don't bring it up again. And if we're right, we don't shut up about it. like Daniel Jones or Ladd McConkey bold predictions from previous years of Nate. I don't remember any of the ones that we got wrong. I was close last year. I think I would have done it without injury. I said Genty wouldn't there would be five rookies above Genty, or I said Genty's maybe fifth or something and Scataboo, Hampton, Henderson, they all looked primed to do it. There's a couple others and didn't work out. So that was the closest thing I got, I think. But this time, so far, I can say I haven't gotten any wrong that we're about to talk about today. But let's jump in to the bold predictions episode. N8: Loving it. @arlenjlove: I like that one. All right. Let's get nasty. Let's take talk about a very bold prediction. I didn't think it was that bold, but as I told a couple people, turns out turns out I'm silly. Talk about two people who disappointed last year. We've got Marvin Harrison Jr. and we've got Brian Thompson Jr. or Thomas Jr. I think that both of them were going are going to have the best years of their careers. Easier for Marvin than it is for Brian after a killer first season. and then one of them finishes in the top twelve and one of them within the top twenty. It is bold for where they're going right now, but it's not I don't know. I have some faith in it. I feel like both of them are good steal. There's more competition. I think for Brian, unless the Michael Wilson thing was really a truth. but one, Brian Thomas Jr. had an injury throughout he had four separate medical or sorry, Marvin had four separate medical issues. Brian Thompson Jr. also had a medical issue that came out afterwards that he was dealing with throughout the entire season. I think for both of them there

are reasons why it wasn't working out. We feel like Marvin Harrison Jr. is a complete bust. and he hasn't shown up to what his expectations were the first year. But the first year he did still rank pretty high historically among wide receivers. He he was a guy that was showing promise. He didn't ball out like we're used to with some of these prospects, like a neighbors coming out or Brian Thomas Jr. his first year. but still historically. Great rookie season for Marvin Harrison Jr., tons of injuries that kind of screwed him up through the second year. He also has been working with jug machines. He's trying to get them catches. I hope that he's gonna be more aggressive. They're trying to use him differently so far in camp. Brian Thomas Jr. has really big competition. There's a lot of Parker Washington bros out there. I think that with Hunter being a little bit more towards defense, this year so far. He's staying out there. He doesn't have that competition. Parker Washington is a little bit. Jacoby Myers is there. But I think the talent of Brian Thomas Jr. wins out if healthy. So that's my super confident. Bold prediction number one. N8: That's just that's so funny because like as I was doing research for this episode, I wanted to make bold predictions, including Mike Wilson and and Parker Washington. I looked at both of them, I tried to make it make sense and @arlenjlove: really? N8: I just I couldn't think I couldn't make it spicy enough. so it's so funny that like when I saw your bold takes that that these came up @arlenjlove: That's funny. N8: because because I I really wanted to put something together for those two guys. I I'm concerned about this where the target share is gonna come from to make this happen. Like I know that for Marvin Harrison it was a there was injuries and stuff for him, but on the other hand, like I that I feel like that more held them back from from success, but I I don't think @arlenjlove: Yeah. N8: that's what's holding them back from being elite. Like I don't know if we're gonna get there for him. @arlenjlove: So yeah, for him, I feel like it's so the big thing was in his rookie year, third in the NFL in receiving yards, right out the gate. So we know that the talent is all there. It wa he was incredible to watch in his first rookie year. The big drop was in his red zone target rate, went down from twenty eight point six to nine point four. I f what was the actual medical issue? I have to look that back up, but I felt like the the issue with him was something with his hands or something. like he actually injured his hand N8: Hm. Yeah, I don't remember. @arlenjlove: or shoulder. but he they couldn't trust him in those high value areas. If he can get back closer to that I don't know, maybe fifteen, sixteen, closer twenty percent target share in the red zone, and he can hold on to the ball now, I he bounces back pretty fast in my opinion. But you also for every wide receiver that is very good but not an elite wide receiver, which I would exp say Jacoby Myers and Parker Washington are great wide receivers that are not elite. If you put them next to an elite wide receiver, it helps out the elite wide receiver as well to take some of the attention away. N8: Are you buying everything they're saying about Travis Hunter leaning more defense this year? Like do you think that's a legitimate like @arlenjlove: Well on my Yeah, I mean I don't know. So on my players to stash that that I did yesterday, so check it out if you guys haven't, I have Hunter on as a player to stash because he's at the end of the draft fourteenth, end of the fourteenth round or so. and we're looking for players when we're stashing before week one that are going to be like there's variables out there and there's things that we could have missed and w how elite Hunter is. And the only reason he's going that far is because people are assuming the worst. If we're seventy percent wrong, sixty percent wrong, even fifty percent at the fourteenth round, you're getting your value back. So you could stash him, but you'll probably figure it out pretty fast. so he is almost also like a running back handcuff. he gets moved off of defense and an elite wide receiver comes to the field. if Brian Thomas goes down, I think they push him back to offense more. N8: Got it. All right. I I see I mean there's a path here. I don't think you're I think there's potential for them to have their career years, but it'd be interesting to see where they actually land in the overall wide receiver ranking team of the year. @arlenjlove: All right, talk about rankings. Let's do some QB rankings. Nate, what's your first? N8: Alright, so my take is all around QB rankings, and I wanted to get super spicy here because you'll notice there's some big names missing from this list. @arlenjlove: Yeah there. N8: but here's here's the deal. I fully believe that this is just an Herbert's year. He has been toying with being the guy, and he's like everyone's greatest if man. But here's the situation. If this year isn't it, then it's never gonna be it. Last year he was QB ten while losing both of his tackles. he was averaging in games that Joe Alt was playing. Dude was averaging 25 points a game. Joe Alt was playing out of his mind when he was there. But the unfortunately got hurt. Rashawn Slater got hurt before the season even started. So with both of them back into the play, you're getting Mike McDaniels in there as a legitimate legitimate offensive play caller that made Tua Tonga Vailoa and he he made us all believe in Tua. Like this is what we're like @arlenjlove: Yeah. N8: right, like this is the guy that's coming over and now getting the actual @arlenjlove: I'm excited for him too. N8: talent of Justin Herbert, right? So I think this is he has potential to be Pv one. I do want to call out. We're not saying that this is absolutely gonna happen. It's a bold take episode for a reason, but I see a pathway for him to be QB1. I love the

Chargers offense, give me all of it, and and I literally want the quarterback that's going to be all over that offense. Another offense that I really, really, really believe in this year is and it's like weird to say this. The Chicago Bears. The Bears. @arlenjlove: Ugh, yeah. N8: I know it feels like feels weird, feels like gross a little bit, but @arlenjlove: Ha ha. N8: Caleb Williams is showing that he can do it, right? He's he's able to be a productive passer. It's year two in a Ben Johnson offense. we're gonna see a big jump for him. We're saying that his boy Colst Loveland is a top three tight end fast catcher there. Dunze and Luther Burden, I think, both have potential to be top 15 wide receivers. And sneakily, Caleb Williams gets you a ton of points with his lakes. Like both he and Justin Herberts are like, you almost forget that they've got some rushing, Russian ability and both these guys do that for you. and so I think on top of what they're doing with their elite passing, on top of what they're doing, with all of the weapons that they have and offense QB friendly play callers behind them, they're gonna use some run. So I think that's your one and two this year. I think that's they have potential to be your one and two. Josh Allen, obviously, like I couldn't put any more people ahead of him. He's he's he's been the king for years. Of course, huge opportunity for him to be number one overall, but this is a bull takes episode, so he's gonna be number three. The the the other two guys are kind of chalk, right? Like Drake, Drake May's already been having great season. last year he's he's got the opportunity to to continue up that. he's proven to have a great fantasy ceiling. He's got improved weapons out there. hashtag AJ Brown has like a number one wide receiver out there for him now, so he's gonna climb. And then Joe Burrow. @arlenjlove: Yeah. N8: I think this Joe Burrow, I think a lot for a lot of folks is QB four, so it's not a surprise he makes your top five. I think what makes us a @arlenjlove: Sure. N8: surprise and makes it hot is that I'm putting him ahead of Lamar Jackson. I'm putting him ahead of Jaden Daniels. I'm putting him ahead of Jalen Hurts. as a pocket passer. That isn't gonna get you a ton of ton of work with his feet, but just for a million different reasons, I think those three guys fall out of your top five and Joe Burrow s keeps his spot in the top five. so here it is. @arlenjlove: Hmm. I N8: In order. I want credit for this at the end of the season. @arlenjlove: I like it. I yeah, that I think I think it if if Lamar was in this it wouldn't be bold. but the order I like it. It's probably not happening like this, but that's what this is about. But I do like that you moved Josh Allen down to make it even more bold. I was not as brave as you, Nate. I did this for running backs. But I could not move Gibbs down. I tried and N8: That's @arlenjlove: I tried and I I just felt like I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. N8: There's no spice here. Where's the spice? @arlenjlove: There's spice! There's spice. There's spice. N8: Ha ha. @arlenjlove: There's I think there's qu quite a few people that are not on the list here. So Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, HN all being knocked off. I think is pretty spicy if all of them are. But in order, N8: That that's hot. Yeah, yeah. @arlenjlove: I've got Gibbs, James Cook, B. John Hampton, Kenneth Walker, three of the five drafted by us in this slow draft we're doing today. And I want extra credit if I really do hit this all in order, but it's the parlay that makes it all bold. Gibbs at the this one is easy, like I said. Montgomery left, he's in Houston. Gibbs looks outstanding. I think Pacheco, even though he wasn't a threat, is now injured. And being N8: He's banged up, yeah. @arlenjlove: Yeah, he's starting on the IR. Cook's a dude, man. In a high powered offense, I don't or sorry, Gibbs is a dude, but I think Cook is actually one of the ones that I feel like could jump up ahead of Gibbs. Bijan could as well, but Cook I feel like is being drafted a little too late, or I'm a little too excited about him. he's around running back six on a lot of boards, but I'm actually gonna look at our draft board. One, two, three, four, five. Actually I got him running back six. So there you go. I got I got Cook s The sixth running back and Walker the seventh. I think with he's one of the most underappreciated running backs in football. He's starting to get some of that love this year, but for years there were these outliers of like 5.25 yards per carry. The amount of touchdowns he gets per like he's like the Holland of touchdown and scoring, right? And every year we say that it's gonna drop off, and every year it keeps up. So I think he's like a Derrick Henry where at a certain point there's statistics that belong to people that are anomalies. they're they're outliers that you have to just give them the recredit for after they do it for multiple years in a row. B. John Robinson. Man, I mean, I guess it's bolder to put him at three than it is to put at like that low instead of all the way at number one or two. But we know what Bijan is. I won't get into it too much. That's an easy one. Hampton, I talked a lot about. You should check on our lab partners, our our version of the My Guys episode that we did last week. Go check it out. I go a little bit more into Marian Hampton, but it's for a lot of the same reasons that you said of that offensive coordinator. I like where the offensive line building back up. I like where the Chargers are headed. I'm super excited for him this season. I don't buy any of the BS anytime they say that they're going to be sharing this or it's gonna be a committee. That dude is a dog and he's gonna show it. Kenneth Walker, Super Bowl MVP. He goes over to a place where they desperately needed since Kareem Hunt was in his prime in there before he left to Cleveland. They haven't had that. They've been missing it.

This is like if a Tyreek Hill level skill wide receiver comes to play with the Chiefs, you're gonna be excited and you're gonna draft him pretty high and the value is gonna go up. This is a star running back. One of the best in the leagues. And the number one knock on him is injury history. And I have to tell you, over his how many years has he been in the league now? It's like I think it's like four. He's been in the league now that one four four total years. And over those four years, I think he's missed like a total of 11 games. So there's one injury, and then the rest of the years, he played almost every game, missed a couple, but every running back misses a couple games a year. So I don't know why I had it in my head that he had an injury history. That's always what's kind of kept him down, but it's just simply not true. He does not have an injury history, he's not injury prone, and he's on one of the Probably still gonna be a great offense and one of the best, if the scheme is right and they fill this hole. So I'm excited to see what happens. N8: Yeah, sounds like he has more of a branding issue. He's got @arlenjlove: Well yeah. Both I think both Cook and Walker, there's like a stigma around them. James Cook is starting to get shinier. Kenneth Walker has done all the things and he's still tarnished in some way. So I'll take at the end of the first, start of the second. N8: Yeah, if you move if you move James Cook to four, I'm completely buying this list. but for me, I think in order for him to get two, he would have to be the running back like or the rushing champion again this year. Like he needs to be I need I think he needs @arlenjlove: Mm-hmm. N8: those yards. and if we're s if we're saying that he's gonna be the rushing champ like the rushing champion back to back years, like that's your hot take, right? But but I think that's what it would take for him to get second overall. @arlenjlove: Yeah, I I think this is the case where if he can get more involved in the receiving game, then that that's what pushes him to be there. So I think he's pretty well rounded in the other places, but if he's always had that missing from his game and if you add that to James Cook, yeah, I think I they also haven't been able to like when he it was obvious he was going out for a pass, they haven't had anybody that defense had to worry about. If you're adding AJ Brown, pulling some of that attention away and can throw him and not rely on him as much, but you can throw him in there more naturally, then I think that that gives an opportunity as long as he just takes a little bit of a level up in the receiving game, and then you got him at number two. N8: I like it. I like it. Speaking of running backs, I'm gonna go to my @arlenjlove: Whoo, I like this one. N8: my second take here. this one was a depth take. if I was on the mustache episode, this would be a mustache player, right? Like, because @arlenjlove: Ha ha ha. N8: he's got he's rocking a cool one. he's rocking a great one. By the way, like, shout out, I don't whoever left that unbelievable comment. Yeah, shout out to @arlenjlove: I'm looking it up right now because absolutely. N8: yeah, we need to give that. Cr that might be comet early favorite for comet of the year. @arlenjlove: At the boy don't play on YouTube. N8: Yeah. Early cut like I am not gonna miss another episode. So I don't catch that much heat, 'cause that's crazy. matter of fact, like @arlenjlove: Go check it out. It's on our it's on our mustache mustache video that posted last night, early this morning. Go check it out in the comments. we've still replied a hundred percent of the comments that are put to us in YouTube trying to be better about the other platforms and podcasts, but in YouTube we're pretty great about it. And we just got one of the best comments ever, and it was full mustache. Dad joke, a whole dialogue. You can just enjoy that while you're out listening to the episode. N8: Yeah, I'm out here catching strays and I wasn't even on the episode. but that's fine. I love it. I'm here @arlenjlove: That's why. N8: for it. But anyway, if I were on that episode, jump Jonah Coleman would show up for me as one of your mustache players. Cause I fully believe @arlenjlove: I like it. N8: that Jonah Coleman, even though he is currently third on the depth chart, is gonna rise. The cream's gonna rise to the top. Is that the saying? Yeah, cream's heat rises, whatever. He's gonna be the the best @arlenjlove: Yeah, it. N8: running back. in the Denver running back room. He's gonna lead Denver in rushing. And I'm gonna add this on top to everything that I put here because I I felt like this wasn't spicy enough. He's gonna be a top fifteen running back by end of season. @arlenjlove: Now that's spicy. N8: You gotta make this spicy, right? Predictions wise, if I put this together, like I know to looking at what it would take to get there is a lot. But I'm not saying that he's earning the spot based in on injury because JK Dobbins is gonna get hurt or or he's gonna or are or Harvey's gonna get hurt or anything like that. I think he's gonna earn this spot. he's gonna take that job. His college profile gives you the contact balance, the elusiveness, or like he's he's got everything he needs to be a three down back. He's got the receiving ability that you're looking for. and he I think he overcomes being in a crowded depth chart by week six, week seven, and then carries the rest of the season. With that in mind, like I think that that late surge will allow him to take over that back room and end the season as someone that you would feel comfortable starting as your RB one two. @arlenjlove: Yeah, I think the I I'm sold. I don't know. I think that he'll be the I agree with you. I don't think it's bold. I think he will be the top running back in there. But I think the top fifteen did you say? N8: Yeah, top fifteen. @arlenjlove: That's pretty bold. That's pretty bold. 'cause I'm thinking that if

he's the top, it's because they're all about the same and he happened to get more. but that this would mean that you that he really does separate himself. And I think that itself is the real fact. N8: Yeah. I think he becomes the R B one in that, yeah. @arlenjlove: Okay. Cool. I like it. All right, going over, we've got some awards to give out. Just gonna give out now, 'cause we all know exactly what all the awards are going to be this year. All right. For the NFL itself, not fantasy, but as you said, probably fantasy as well. For MVP, we have Justin Herbert. for the offensive player of the year, we have James Cook. Defensive player of the year, Miles Garrett, offensive rookie, Carnell Tate. Comeback player of the year, Patrick Mahomes. Coach of the Year, Ben Johnson. Assistant coach, Mike McDaniel. I'm going to start with Herbert because one fact sold me. It's bold because there's only ever been, is this true, one MVP for the Chargers ever? LT. Which is huge as to get that, not as a quarterback. N8: I mean L T @arlenjlove: I think N8: yeah, anyway, yes. Absolutely true. @arlenjlove: Yeah, in 2006 he won that. And yes, he's a different breed. and they they got rid of Greg Roman, handed the offense to Mike McDaniel. I love Mike McDaniel as an offensive coordinator. And 23 Miami team led the 2023 Miami team led the NFL in total yards and passing yards and finished second in scoring with nobody comparatively to Justin Herbert. If we can bring some of that. To this team, your offensive line is fixed. All the reasons you already stated, I think that's huge. Cook, I already spoke to, if really relies on him getting more involved in the passing game. If he does that, he could be absolutely huge. Garrett, double up. He won it last year. He's gonna win it this year. Garrett Wilson, Garrett, Miles Garrett, of now the Rams. I think this is gonna be huge because you have Aaron Donald and I think the defensive rookie of the year last year all on the line together. You're you can't just focus out and sell out on Garrett. Like they would double team him all the time. You have to worry about Aaron Donald and this other beast. So I don't know how much they're gonna eat. They might all get that defensive player of the year award, everybody there. N8: That's what that's the only knock I have on that, is that spreading the wealth in that Rams defense a little bit. @arlenjlove: I mean, I don't know what you can do to stop I it's it's scary. My neighbor, I'm in Seahawks country. Neighbor is not worried at all. It's overhyped, he says. I think he needs to be very scared. That is nasty. All right. I think Carnell Tate. I feel like we just need one of those wide receiver rookie wide receivers to pop off and go crazy. Twenty twenty-four was such a fun year. We had so many wide receivers popping off. I think we're due for it. And that's purely why. Selfishly. But he's looked awesome. Ward looks like he stepped up enough to support A Star. If he is what where he was drafted

and he's like he earns that, then I think it would be I can't think of many other players because I can't think of defense. because I am such a fantasy football player that when I was doing this, I was like, I should probably look into what defensive rookies are stars. Nah. I'm gonna stick to the fun stuff and say Carnell Tate. All right. Mike McDaniels, I'm not gonna go into much. I skipped over Patrick Mahomes. I think this is just a shoe. I don't think he's gonna be good enough to get any of the MVP awards. And they're gonna feel bad for him. The they love their Patrick Mahomes. So when they vote at the end of the year after suffering such a gruesome injury and coming back so strong, I I think he's probably the favorite. I think he is the favorite right now to win this anyways. Comeback player of the year, usually a quarterback, seven of the eight times before, usually coming back from an injury. And if he's healthy, he's going to return to the same level that all the other people who won the award did. He doesn't have to be the best, he can be just great. And they're gonna give it to him. I think Ben Johnson is going to blow up the Chicago team. Just they're going to go crazy. And I'm excited to see it. They've got so many weapons. I love Swift, which was just taken. I was that's who I was debating between when I did McMillan. I was like, but I have three running backs already, but I really want Swift. Swift, I think, is gonna have a great year. You've got Loveland, you've got Burden, you've got Odunze, you've just got a packed house there. So much that he can play with. Ben Johnson wins coach of the year. And they usually give it to people who are kind of those rising stars. And ones that if a team blows up and they weren't absolute studs the year before, they go, it was because of him. And let's give it to him. Mike McDaniel talked about it. I'm excited to see it. But I think he's got too much with such a supportive and environment in coaching. Like they run a tight ship, the Harbaughs. You put a tight ship around Mike McDaniel's craziness and you're gonna get some pretty fun stuff. But we're not done talking about the Chargers because it's going to be the Rams versus the Chargers in the Super Bowl and the Rams are gonna win. Because N8: I know, @arlenjlove: by then you're going to Is it in LA? N8: Yeah. @arlenjlove: my god, I didn't even think about that. This is epic. Yes, let's do it. Let's N8: Mm. @arlenjlove: do it. Let's just do it. Let's ha not have the regular season. Let's just go to the Super Bowl right now. That'd be so cool. I didn't even realize that. All right. Rams. my God. Yeah, this is great. This is my favorite bold prediction. Rams, Chargers, Super Bowl. But by then, the Chargers have lost one more offensive tackle. And during that game, because of the Aaron Donald, I forgot the other the rookie going in the second year. And Miles Garrett, you're gonna lose. Two more in the Super Bowl and Justin Herbert's gonna injure his

shoulder and get pulled out. And unfortunately, N8: Why are we doing that? @arlenjlove: the I don't want it to happen. I'm just telling you what's going N8: Why are we doing this? @arlenjlove: to happen. So that's why the Rams taken over. N8: I appreciate actually I understand what you're doing. I appreciate you neging this. I appreciate you you neging this a little bit so so I I see what we're doing. Okay. I got you. @arlenjlove: Tempering your expectations or reverse jinxing? What am I doing? Okay. Yeah, yeah, okay, cool, cool, cool. I hope I hope N8: Reverse chinxing. That's what I'm taking this as. Reverse chinxing this. Yeah. @arlenjlove: the Chargers win. I do hope the Chargers win. I just am so scared of the D line of the Rams. Alright. N8: Yeah, it's pretty nuts. I will say like most of these takes, right, in a silo all by themselves aren't that hot, but as a parlay, it would be nuts if you had all these. Like @arlenjlove: Yeah, I know. I have to hit I think at least like I have to at least hit like four of them to celebrate. Probably five of them this one to celebrate. I'm gonna celebrate if I hit five of N8: Fair enough. All right. Well, @arlenjlove: All right. N8: speaking of the return of Patrick Mahomes to @arlenjlove: yeah. N8: form, yeah, right. See so him coming back is gonna come alongside with the return of who we knew Xavier Worthy to once be. He's worthy of what he was that year. Cause let's let's take a time machine drive back into the twenty twenty four playoff run. Where Murdy went from n for 19 catches, 287 yards, and three TDs and three games. @arlenjlove: Woo N8: And then in the Super Bowl, eight catches, 157 yards, and two TDs. We're not talking about a theoretical upside here. We've watched him dominate on the biggest stage. It has @arlenjlove: He's done it. N8: happened. We've seen it happen. His rookie season finished with 59 receptions, 638 yards, six and Six receiving touchdowns plus 104 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. So he's got the makeup to do a lot of different things to make his way into the top ten. And here's what we're worried about Cyrus Allen. Sure, what whatever. Like he's a rookie that we're all getting hyped about in the preseason a little bit. and yeah, he's there's some opportunity there, but he's more of a slack guy. Xavier Xavier Worthy is still gonna own that X receiver X receiver role plus other things that he was doing in that in those first two seasons. Rasheed Rice, awesome receiver, but also competing for I think he's competing more with Cyrus Allen. if he's even there, by the way, he might be speeding off in the in a different way completely. and then we got the fossil that is Travis Kelsey, who's out there. Patrick Mahomes is still gonna get the ball to somebody, and I think that somebody is Xavier Worthy. Look for your boy to be a top ten wide receiver by the end of the season, if not, in the top five. And this is for you @arlenjlove: I don't o N8: out there that called me the only human to believe in Xavier Worthy. Commenter. @arlenjlove: I don't Yeah, I did see I got a little spicy. Chad. I can't really remember his name. yeah, I don't agree, but I d not I I definitely don't, obviously it's bold for top ten, but I d I don't see top twenty four even, but I okay, I don't see it, but I can see it is is my point. Like this is a fun, bold prediction. It's a little crazy. You didn't have to do this. You kinda did it to yourself here. this is your Banana Rama who who's your dude? the Banana Rama quarterback, what is his name? Levis. This is your Levis pick. Let's see. Let's see if it works.

N8: How happy I was on Sunday that Buka Nakua didn't join him on that exemplist. but @arlenjlove: Yeah, you better be. N8: but yeah. I think these are some spicy takes. I I I had to up the spice on a couple of these, but but I think we've we've got a shot. I am historically right about at least one hot take.

I think bold predictions are like fantasy football leagues. You don't have to get better. You just have to be in more. And then you forget about the ones you didn't win. And you put on the championship rings for the ones you did. This has been our bold predictions episode. Nate, it's been good connecting with you again. Thank you everybody for listening.
