We will give you a prediction on all 14 of the playoff teams and we will give you a Super Bowl prediction tomorrow usually know how this works and give you a lot of predictions. Mine usually right.

Hickey is usually wrong and away we go. It will be a very fun and fine NFL season so a lot of NFL today a lot of NFL tomorrow a lot of NFL for the next few months. In early thrones and 65 days out of the year, but I do that to start off with all college football so yesterday we had Harry Douglas on a former NFL wide receiver used to play his college ball at Louisville that he does a very good job breaking down all things college football. He's claims to be the leader of the Anthony Richardson bandwagon last year he was begging Dan Mullen to play Anthony Richardson when Dan Mullen was gold Emory Jones and was being loyal to his guy Anthony Richardson though in a start to kick off the season up against Utah.

We all know what did transpire Hickey claiming Utah is good to be going to college football playoff Utah having a lot of palpable buzz with cam rising with Kyle Winningham.

I expected to win the Pac 12 and in their first game of the season. It was a back-and-forth seesaw a ride and Anthony Richardson gave the Florida gators.

The lead Utah marching down the field.

Looks like that a bare minimum to send this game to overtime. Enough with the field goal.

There inside the 10 yard line and cam rising. There was a pick and the next thing you know Florida wins, and ever since that game and you saw the within Anthony Richardson played in the contest 17 the 24th on the football hundred and 68 yards down the rock. He also had 11 rustica 10 306 yards and three touchdowns. There is been a seismic shift in the way. Now that we are talking about Anthony Richardson. It wasn't just Harry Douglas, who started up the party yesterday where he said on the show and I did a double take and this is not me saying that the rich and can't become a great player but right away.

That takes about Anthony David Anthony Richardson from Harry Douglas was.

He is mechanically better than camp and athletically better than candidate. That is what Harry Douglas said with us yesterday and he guarantees that when the NFL draft rolls around in April that Anthony Richardson is going to be a top 10 picks so naturally when you hear someone so excessively praising one guy I wanted to see how far he was going to take it. We've been told the entire off-season leading into college football that the next draft. It's going to be Bryce Young CJ Stroud those are the two first quarterbacks taken the draft. Maybe not the first to pick but the first two quarterbacks I followed up with Harry Douglas Sibley just said can. Maybe you have Anthony Richardson usurp Young or Stroud and potentially be the number one overall pick. If you tell me you guarantee me to be top 10 pick.

Can you take it to the road of Kutty be the number one overall pick doesn't say no. He said potentially Anthony Richardson could become the number one overall pick. So that was just one former player. One analyst who said that it really wouldn't be that huge of a deal and maybe not starting to dictate the entire media landscape.

I was watching ESPN yesterday Paul find Bob effusive in his praise of Anthony Richardson, I was seeing our guy Roman Harper friend of the show listener of the Zach Gelb show on CBS sports radio and he believes Florida is going to win this game this week and up against Kentucky River last year, Kentucky beat Florida in Lexington for the first time since 1986. Now this game to be played in the swamp Roman Harper believes that Florida's good win the game and he thinks they're going to win it handily. So after one weekend of college football after week one. The big name the big buzz and the player that's getting a ton of praise is Anthony Richardson and this Florida program and its wild the way that it works.

I'm not telling you that the guy isn't going to be a first-round pick. I'm not ready to say it right now that he definitely will be.

I'm not ready to say that he could potentially be a number one pick.

I so don't even know what Florida is going to be this year, but I love the way that this works, that you went into that game and there was deftly a chance. It was a coin flip. Maybe a slight advantage to Utah in that game because Utah at the time was a seven ranked team in the country, but I anticipated that game to be a grind it out close game, and when Anthony Richardson not only marches team down the field but then on the back end of that. The cam rising panic. That is what the impetus is now with when you have a moment like that in Billy Napier's first game in Anthony Richardson's game up against Utah when you play like that in one of those big games to kick off the season. It's a narrative change word. I don't know. I'm not saying that no one in Anthony Richardson in the first round of mock drafts. But now people or at least putting them in the conversation as one of the best quarterbacks in the country in the top 10 talent in the draft find on said top 10 Harry Douglas said.

Top 10 and I'm curious to see with all this height with all this buns and all this quick momentum how Florida shows up on Saturday evening, when you're in the swamp.

You're welcome.

And in a Kentucky team that beat you last year 2013 Mark stoops is a good program.

Mark stoops also has an excellent quarterback and will love us who has to show something this year but there's a lot of buzz and will live as you remember Chris Trapasso. He had a mock draft easement on the show a bunch and one of his mock drafts claimed that he believes that will love this could be the first quarterback take it in this draft so there is been now Lotta big time up opinions on will let us and also big time opinions on Anthony Richardson and I know there's a lot of good games this weekend.

I know there's a lot of big time programs playing this weekend.

U of Alabama and Texas. Does anyone think, though, Alabama and Texas can be classic game. Alabama is favored by 20 points.

I love them as good a cover, but I expect Bama to win that game in the fourth quarter really not to mean much. You have an intriguing game this weekend between pit with pick going up against Tennessee. I do like that game and I think that's getting excellent game.

Baylor and BYU that is a fun game but if I'm to be honest with you right now, the game that I most looking forward to this weekend is going to be Kentucky and Florida.

The 12 team in the nation. The Florida gators who jumped into this party going up against a 20 team in Asia and the Kentucky Wildcats were Mark stoops now doesn't want to hear that Kentucky is a basketball school you want to go back a few weeks ago which I thought was a little bit nuts that he got so annoyed by John Calipari's comments because that's the truth of the situation you though now have an established program, a program that is on the rise. Kentucky Mark stoops was done a wonderful job in changing the narrative about that program going up against a Florida team that with their moan was good not great but good. And eventually the excuses and the time was up for Dan Mullen. Now you bring in a new guy in Billy Napier did a wonderful job at Louisiana and his first game of the year. He beat a Utah team that some believe was good to be played in the college football playoff at the end of the year so this narrative on Anthony Richardson. It's already skyrocketing that could augment this weekend and also the buzz in the love for Billy Napier could really pick up in intensity. If you start out your season, beating Utah was ranked seventh and then finding a way to take care of business at home up against Kentucky inside the SEC was a top 20 team in the nation.

So I'm just fascinated to see where this story goes with Anthony Richardson and where this story goes with Billy Napier year one together in the swamp at Florida and if they win this weekend. Then after that they should be self ordering of a good game Anthony Rich to get sent in Hooker up against Tennessee Eastern Washington, Missouri, LSU would not be crazy to sit here and say that Florida could start the season off. Seven in all, and then their schedule picks up with Georgia and back to back weeks and you end the year with South Carolina.

Vanderbilt and Florida State. I look at the schedule rhyme and it sounded to me that there could be Kentucky.

It's not a give me that there could be Tennessee but this could be a tool loss Florida team this year.

I don't think that's wild to say, but they should only have two or three losses this year. When you look at the Florida gators team and if that's the case that's a super successful year one for Billy Napier outside of the regular season. Forget about the ballgame and and what happens with that.

If you want to lose a ballgame by the regular season. This could be at most you know that that they can be a two or three lost team added at a bare minimum, and if that's the case at the super successful season for Billy Napier.

That means Anthony Richardson is playing his ass off and the opinions that were already starting to hear about Florida and Anthony Richard Richardson, only to continue to grow louder and louder and louder and get louder, especially if they take care of business.

These next few weeks and you just keep on winning games and use of those big games up against Georgia right now is the best team in the country. Georgia and Alabama and then you play and then after that, what are your expectations this year for Florida. How do you view the gators also like integrating Neo eight and four is some still you know I still see more fermenting Richardson so see more from Billy Napier not you know those are really nice Utah it really nice when we also exposure college about early on the season followed up with the when the instance seeing teams have impressive week one performances and then struggle to kind of followed up on a consistent basis. Oh, they get all you know the credit and they get all the price for this week. They deserve it all now. Your point Kentucky to come to town we to their here to kick some ass like you just yell it's not just you can see kids on your laurels here is big you nice when he got a basket that is talking that sometimes it right right right away their tough program and you're good to get will love this coming in and we know will love is a very good quarterback Mark stoops with his defense of mine and his family background in the coaching world. You know he's give a try to do is give a try to contain Anthony Richardson not let them beat them on the ground and they could do that with the way that they play off the edge and there to make him throw the football and make him throw the floor and try to have him throw the football. But if they get through Kentucky and Tennessee rhyme and then you obviously sandwiched between expect them to be in South Florida.

They'll be for no then you should be Eastern Washington, you should be sorry for. Talk about sex or no LSU got a lot of talent on that really loving Brian Kelly though in your number one it's not crazy to say that they'll be seven or no going into Georgia. However, we don't even know we like the Billy Napier is done in the past we got to see what he's going to do as he makes a jump from smalltime college football to the big leagues when you're going to school like Florida and this week will learn a lot about Anthony Richardson going up against another really good quarterback and will let us will also learn about Billy Napier and how is good to be able to keep his team levelheaded and Peter Kentucky team that they should be. But if you don't have things go the way that you envision it from the start and you get off to a slow start. Mark stoops is done a heckuva job in 10 games twice at Kentucky and he's done a great job building up that program a veteran coach like that at a program inside the SEC will take advantage of you if you leave that door open so this weekend that's a game almost excited for how is that the game that excites you the most of this weekend Florida, Kentucky, and I never thought I would even say that a few weeks ago but here we are now at the what Florida did in week one, Kentucky is on the last few years. It's not number one from them so very true to Alabama Texas to see what Texas is with Quinn Ewers and Steve Sarkisian and I'm really interested in Tennessee Pittsburgh Pittsburgh you know, nice year last year on the high and Tennessee.

This is a nice test, nice revenge opportunity after pay came in there last year and one in Knoxville.

Those are two games I'm looking at two in terms of excitement maybe little more than they Kentucky floor and I will tell us a lot about those two quarterbacks to and even USA, Stanford's, which was a big opportunity for a lot of college quarterbacks. Caleb Williams is a tough Stanford defense. There's a lot of prove it kind of opportunities here we to already when I go through what you're saying hundred Hooker going up against cute and small. This thank you and so spheres go to for 30 touchdowns. Will has it inspected the start what he was like to be the backup at USC Hooker's done a really nice job even though it's early and we know without the type of player he could be. Then you take a look at the Quinn Ewers point that you bring up this year for Quinn Ewers. Your plan for your job next year because you know is coming right around the corner that's arch manning you all out this year, Quinn Ewers, you basically make that decision before the competition starts if you leave the door open then you allow an actual genuine competition to occur over next summer and in next off-season, so lots approved for some of these young quarterbacks this weekend and some of the quarterback, just in general in college football whose get a step up and deliver 855-2124 CBS 855-212-4227 Hickey's most intrigued this weekend by Bama Texas almost intrigued and excited for Kentucky going up against Florida. Lucky for us, we don't have to just watch one game we could watch them all and will be talking about them all throughout this week in the recapping them early on next week as well take a break may come on back if Clemson does not win the ACC and they started off their year with an underwhelming performance going up against Georgia Tech, even though constant to get the victory, and we know Clemson did not win the ACC year ago that was pit but if Clemson repeats as not winning the ACC changeable the way we use repeat the Clemson over the last decade or so, but it vacant when the ACC this year.

One site over 300,000 experiences you will remember listening to the second Guild show that's right it is that Guild show on CBS sports radio you can think O'Reilly auto parts on a car care needs to guarantee low prices and excellent customer service from the professional parts people at O'Reilly auto parts. Oh, O'Reilly auto parts so yesterday we talked a lot about Clemson, how I was disappointed with the first three quarters really the entire game going up against Georgia Tech on Monday night. Defensively Clemson is one of the better defensive units in the country. Authentically, though the line stunk receivers or drop in the football D jungle leg did not impress me, and there wasn't just anything on offense. I really loved for this Clemson team and thinking club that comes in. I know it's in garbage time at the end of the game and he goes on a drive leads right down the field and get the touchdown and we know that kid called neck even though D jungle. I was once a five-star recruiter quarterback Kate public is also a five-star recruiter quarterback someone that we'd not seen much of yet and the Band-Aid has been ripped off from detailing delay and it's still showing the wounded still showing some cause for concern.

So I asked this question yesterday on Twitter at that Gelb and it was Clemson this year. Well it was film the blank be willing at all make the plow for miss the playoff 79% said Mr. playoff 18.8% said make the college football playoff in 2.2% said they'll be winning it all now, you could win the ACC and still miss the playoff.

We saw that a year ago Pittsburgh when the ACC and no one was advocating for pit to get in the college football playoff. So if I had to tell you that Clemson was going to knock when the ACC this year who then is that team that your little rock 'n' roll with inside the ACC will get Ryan's response in just a second. I'll just give you my response in a in a matter of a few seconds as well but I want you to think about that. I really want you to let it marinate if I'm telling you that Clemson doesn't when the ACC who was then the team that you roll with inside the ACC, but you will get this Clemson schedule firm in Louisiana Tech. Most tuneup games. Then after that you get a little bit of a tough back the backstretch, Sam Hartman, now back with Wake Forest to play them at the Demon deacons on the 24th and then the week after that you that NC State ONC state stunk up the joint up against ECU. They didn't survive. They did win the game and then see state as the top 20 team in the country.

So I look at this Clemson gate Wisconsin schedule will see how they perform up against Wake Forest and NC State the next two weeks.

It's kind of a snooze fest and then after that the next two times really get jacked up for Clemson game is good to be up against Notre Dame on November 5, the first week of November and then towards the end of the season you get a Miami team and I know Miami was playing a cupcake team and perfume the first week of the season but they won 70 to 13 and there's a lot of buzz with Tyler VanDyke was a very good quarterback and after Miami they play Southern Miss this weekend and they get a NM, but A&M is a nonconference game inside the SEC that second impact of Miami. 10 when the ACC or not, but that's a big moment for Mario crystal ball and his quarterback and that's honestly my team that if Clemson appeared to give me the restatement that Clemson isn't going to win the ACC even though it's a new coach but Mario crystal ball. I've been a big fan of him for a while, even when he was back coach and you know in Florida back years ago and then we saw what he was able to do in Oregon had that big when up against Ohio State and he's been a guy wanted Temple Byron before they hire Matt rule by the watching him him coach of enlistment do interviews ever since he was back at FIU and he got a lot of credit from from Nick Sabin is in Alabama for a few years, then took over in Oregon. I was after Willie Taggart was one done in Oregon did a very nice job and I was going home to Miami and I'm not telling you Miami is back back on not to be like Sam Allen girl not to be, you know, one of those people. It's called you is back, but I do believe Mario crystal ball with the way that NAL is now set up in recruiting is now set up. I think Mario's good help. Try to bring that swagger back to Miami knows the ins and outs of the University. He knows everything.

What it means to be a Miami hurricane. The way that Miami hurricanes fans think that program should operate and he does bring some excitement is a big year in your number one for Mario crystal ball because that could be a narrative driver for the next two years and if I go to tell you. Clemson does when the ACC II would then zero in on Miami because I love the coach and I do love the quarterback and were to find out about Miami two weeks from now against a NM of the win that game to keep it close and then you get into that ACC schedule with North Carolina Virginia Tech to Virginia. None of those four teams really do scare me Florida State that's always a good game. Norvell had a good when up against LSU, you should clobber Georgia Tech and the end of the season for hurricanes. You get Clemson in pit and that's a heckuva way to end out the season with Clemson and pits you could start the build up your program get things going for Miami and then really test things out at the end of the season, so if it's not Clemson under the say Miami Wednesday ACC Mr. college football not take a key reenrollment to win the ACC this year. If it's not Clemson, I'm going with NC State. I like the timing of the match up against clubs in its October 1 three weeks are now do you guys think. At least with what we saw on Monday with Clemson's offense looking shaky and you gotta think if a quarterback change will be made at some point that's kind of the conclusion on the assumption I delays can have before October 1.

So in theory again.

Clemson's offense will still be gotta sputter by the time they go post NC state assuming you could need a quarterback that's good be able to really dice up this Clemson different. It delete this Clemson Davis was a front for his clearly damn good like Devon layer in terms of town wise being one of the best options to take down Clemson so I will go to the Wolfpack to take down Clemson and also in the 80s.

Why doesn't week one concern you to just chalk that up to Ross because you're going up against ECU program. I watch a lot of American athletic conference football ever since.

Really rough and big deal it was, was fired from that program and actually I think Lincoln Riley was actually offense of coordinator at East Euclid member game temple played ECU and the owls made the Pirates walk the plank when they were a top €25 that Malachi had a radio Pirates walk the plank map owls top 25 victory. It did something cheesy like that sounds nice little play on words. I thought it was creative and not just being some traditional boring pedestrian broadcaster so ever for a while.

He sees the bad football program and they they should debate NC State. So why diesel conference with Wolfpack Devon lays out like I came whatsoever because he picked it almost should've consummated Frank. They are lucky to win, I'll say this to be better be lucky than good. First game, and I'm not making excuses and countable is just how it goes.

It was one of those weird games word that's a very rare home opponent frees you to get its healing NC State. There a lot of in-state you know bitterness.

It's in there was just the makings of a perfect storm for forward upset should've happened. They are lucky they did about a bill be better coming out of a going forward is to put them in the past yeah NEC that they had a solid year to a year ago that they did go 75 but before that there were four and a three and six when Montgomery was there 393939. I was surprise and as you were as well that that was what was a close game six of your role with the NC state if it's not Clemson and Angola by ambulance. Lachlan said here's the big question.

Do you think it will be Clemson when the ACC because I set up the way that I worded that question to you was if it's not Clemson. Are you out on Clemson winning the ACC we are to get the opinion yesterday that we both think they will not make the college football playoff. How about just winning ACC I am out on them. The offenses is not it's too shaky and it's not just a quarterback at the office of Linux receivers. I just think with their schedule to you know if the backtrack games and Tuesday workforce at stuff you play Notre Dame later on in the year like it's a tough schedule where you gotta kinda manage the ACC starting to get better I do something they make it through unscathed. I will go and she state or as to the field if you will. If it's Clemson or anyone else to win a conference now not think in these next two games will be all that close for Clemson Clemson should block that are not at home but on a fit if it's a shaky first half. You're basically getting your answer handed to you if you're Dabo Sweeney. Dabo owns it, owes it to the rest of the players on that roster to not let his loyalty get in the way of what is making the right call for the football team because were both in agreement that Clemson defense. The defense is called football playoff worthy.

When you look at that offense and you could say maybe DJ is the right guy, but is not in the right spot because the offense line stinks wide receivers can catch a cold right now and there's no creativity on the offense inside the ball. If you're those seeing DJ not be able to really Did not ship which they have not given an indication publicly that's the case, but if you're seeing that and if those things are telling you that their eyes and in your gut as well you that gotta go to something else because that defense could be a college football playoff defense, but if your quarterback can't elevate the rest of the of the offense will get you 20 something points consistently up against good opponents. Then you gotta have a quick plug to go to Kate public. I'm not saying this is just a quarterback and that could change everything. When you do see what happens when you change your quarterback last year when one quarterback was winning but was winning sloppy and look what happened with Oklahoma.

They were wearing early on the season. But Spencer had a lot of close games and eventually the moment when that Red River should it look like it was getting out of reach.

They go to Caleb Williams and Caleb Williams anchors that come back in the next thing you know he's a quarterback for the rest of the season. Oklahoma those situations, Reiner very similar Spencer rattler last year with Oklahoma and then Clemson with the jungle light out DJ the big hype was a year ago and people of cooled off, but that's a big improvement year and I don't care what you thought the guy was going to be and what your eyes told you in the past. You got a deal with the present moment and give a better option. Secular depth chart you got it and eventually make in the First Option chart and resolve.

You know Dabo is not shy to do so. A Calibri travel insurance to go down to the young Kelly bring down further than DJ you younger leg got to the playoff in our DJ didn't last year yeah Lawrence. Though generational talent is the sailors. It's it's it's kind like overseeing right now. Michigan works either. Jim Harbaugh desperately wants to change quarterbacks also think I would like was guy just guys in the playoff. You know, we did see Deborah make the move that right now Harbaugh should make, but is either unwilling to horse scared to her he's going to because when you have Kate McNamara who you just said it wouldn't when the Big Ten monster got them the college football playoff.

In fact, I can't be named the starting quarterback out right without any statements attached to it. That means you really don't believe in them and you think the other guys better.

You just feel as if you always to Kate McNamara to give them the the max opportunity to win the job and when you're good to see it in these easy games for Michigan.

Their first three games you sought this past weekend. McCarthy is the better quarterback.

It's obvious McCarthy is better correct that you may not win the Big Ten that she mapping the countable playoff but you got apply who the better player is, and that's the tricky spot spot when you have a guy that you had success with doing what's in the best interest of your football team we seen that for the entire existence of football in the NFL that also in college as well.

Zach chose to be a sports writer will take a break and become a back one player the Buffalo Bills should sign at some point throughout this season, and he's interested.

There's no doubt about that.

One site over 300,000 experiences you will remember listening to the second Guild show.

Hey ESPN, I'll take 75% less of what you're paying Joe Buck just going off what the caller said is that Guild show on CBS sports radio Hickey I got a go to you for little checks and balances here.

This is a litmus test because I have a thought on the game tomorrow and if were in agreement. Maybe that should be a sign warning warning warning Zach don't put your money on this game because if I say something and then you disagree with that feel good but if I say something that you agree with that. I go know where all on one team may be another thing happens now. I would be clear here Buffalo on paper is the best team in the AFC Buffalo on paper will easily when the AFC East Buffalo could be the best team in football Buffalo is expected to what a Super Bowl this year for game one of the season going up against the defending champion LA Rams was Stafford's elbow is Cooper, Alan Robinson tentmakers back Arun Donald who won't have to talk about the helmet swinging incident on the field he could just be me that Dr. Teal's Epsom salts before the game and maybe we can motivate him a little bit. I talked chose tried to get an answer out to make Domino kick the crap out of Josh Allen and we know all the other pieces that the rams at the debut of Bobby Wagoner and Rams uniform for the regular-season Jayla Ramsey all that jazz. Usually when you have the defending champions, kicking off the season you would just think naturally that the favorite.

Now this is to Titans. This is two teams that it's a first Timothy's. It could be the last game of the season in the Los Angeles Rams are a whole man I know LA does not have this great home tilted heritage, but they are a home dog in the first game of the season. Buffalo is a 2 1/2 point favorite and everyone this year as Chris Berman would say is all the bills think the rams covered a mark, I would place the 2 1/2 points with the rams in this game coming out tomorrow night, were you at this is a litmus test and will see if asked to put my money down the bank account.

I guess we half agree I and Rams will win tomorrow for your cover this outright win the game. I don't like that their home dog. I don't really get it.

And one thing that I've done. We agreed on wondering yes policing, traversing their way in. But you know by one or some like that. Plus, in the 2 1/2 points you, you probably think that I am taking the rams are going the rams and also thing that that's the scary will now not probably now them, consider their you said it ever was on the bills are not paying the bills to be my Super Bowl champion much or if you are, but if I was that would scare the hell out of me to reach number one. Everyone consensus is usually never a good thing Fisher comes NFL number two. A word about the bills like feeling the pressure. It's been without a doubt a consensus best roster best. You know team they should get to the Super Bowl last year for how good they were. It was still kind of the Chiefs. Everyone else and you're still the start of the bills. You know that they are good team but it's not there. I should be to change the left. They were about to go into the year. The excitations weren't know this is by far the T not sure which is suitable without doubt they shared it so it's funny you say that because I was doing a radio interview and I do a lot of interviews and sees them are a bunch of the shows around the country have me on those on the fan in Rochester today and they do a great job. Mike danger and Jean Battaglia. They are first hour of our show. Quite frankly, should our all four hours of our show, but Odyssey wants them to do bed MGM tonight and that's a wonderful show for three hours after us by with how much I go on with how much we have a good relationship there at training camp baskets automatic average about what I was like in college Odyssey as much I love you yes you sign my paycheck.

We should be on four hours in Rochester anyway though, they asked that same question should I be concerned about the bills because bills fans right now they're not used to this reverence from bouquets at the this is a Buffalo team that was the last two years and this was a team that had no heartbreak and other sugars. All those expectations, all that a big off-season. All job sounds really developing that you will win the Super Bowl, then I would be concerned since they've come so close. The last two years. Remember Stefon Biggs AFC championship game. They were up in that game at nine not the intent of ever got what it was he stand on the field after the game, sulking, and deservedly so, because his team just lost a member of the confetti falling on his on his ahead in our head than last year. That game was over. All you do is quick kick it back and doesn't get all you do is play a like a defense number one defense in football and you work in the AFC championship game. So I believe having all that heartbreak allows the focus to be as strong as ever. And even if you are rolling in the regular-season.

I don't think those players get added to high of a level of euphoria because they know what they really need to pick it up and they know when their season really does start and especially you get home field advantage or a magical Buffalo I was there for playoff game -2°. Imagine that the conference title game. Imagine the road to Mr. bus to go to brothels legacies and does mean something early to find out about this Buffalo team in the postseason bees.

They been knocking on the door the last two years so they could lose on Thursday, but I think overall there's no concern because I don't think complacency can set in because you haven't really worn anything yet never tested last year.

Remember there was a time of your love. They got complacent.

The paths that beat them in that gamer Matt Jones of the football less than five times and then they destroyed the patriots to other times thickly when Nancy's now and the AFC's is given given last two years. Now you gotta go get to the Super Bowl and not talk to these lab relationships with two players in the bills beyond document out of damage. I know what drives those guys and that's winning and that's winning it all and we even had solder on the show a few weeks ago and he talked about how you never really move on from the loss like that, but mentally eventually have to and you gotta go take care of business this year and they know bring them back that shiny trophy is the only thing that will make that season a success, but to answer your other question, I'm not picking the bills to win the Super Bowl this year is nothing to do with the way that I view them as a team, everyone's picking the bills. I haven't seen someone not pick the bills to win the Super Bowl demeanor the best he may have say that the best roster in the NFL.

But since everyone is doing so I talk myself into another team to get out of the AFC and I will give you that full prediction tomorrow on the show so that's what I said when I was on with the danger in Battaglia today on the fan in the Rochester you want to know I think should be on the Buffalo Bills. The Odell Beckham Junior now the bills don't need him to be all in, though this year and they made all the move bringing in Josh Allen and I know the contractors not what it was perceived to be what you look at Buffalo there loaded on offense with Josh Allen.

I like the draft pick of James Cook Devon motor Singletary's good player but the receivers want to do a Stefon Biggs and Gabe Davis are and Dawson noxious got paid today. He's a hack of a tight end. I think he's very underrated so that Jamison crowded there. Isaiah McKenzie is a good player. If you could go get yet are not best friend Jay Coomer on that which you probably forget about him. But anyway, if you will get Odell and have Odell be a number three wide receiver and to wide receiver and you could line up with Diggs Davis, Odell and Dawson Knox hello hello for Josh Allen regardless what really hello that would be something, and Von Miller's kinda been recruiting him ever since he joined the Buffalo Bills and Odell's plane until it because Odell's last theme is the Rams. He just wanted Super Bowl there tore his ACL in the Super Bowl.

I touched on the game and Odell tweeted out yesterday. Whoever wins Thursday. Can't wait to all the boys going into the season.

May God bless you with peace of mind and physical strength to endure the season. God watch over all my brothers this year. Let them shine and stay healthy. Love that knows what he's doing. He is one of the greatest promoters of all time about inserting himself into the story.

Whoever wins Thursday 10 basically saying Rams bills you want and then I'll join you. Gotta know that sets out the way that it's good to play out Buffalo Rhine. That's pretty much all in this year and if you had Odell that just strengthens your team even more. Why would you leave any stone kind of on turn this year. I think Buffalo with the way that they've kind of dictated this off-season navigators off-season that you go get Odell Beckham Junior what you think. Odell 00 quickly isolate the Rams yes overlie but if I was him go to Buffalo deal once played in Buffalo.

Everything does the Buffalo a lot Buffalo deal comes back for any Sunday they honor big big time players the past two years and that building. I would love to see Odell bills mafia eating wings jump at their tables.
