pierce. Give me a team best suited to climb
the standings next season. You know who I'm gonna
pick, they're already there. I mean technically not
in the standings but Detroit was practically 500 team last
year. Not this again, no, look at
their numbers against the spread. They were a strong
team. They lost a lot of close games a
lot. So I mean anyone out there can go
through the results from Detroit where he may just remember
they lost tons of heartbreakers, nail biting losses.
They were always covering the spread. The team always
fought hard for coach dan Campbell. They've got a
lot of heart. You can always add talent,
they can pick up some players in the draft,
they can pick up some players in free agency but
the core of that team believes in this team and
that's half the battle, especially when you're the Detroit
Lions. It will not take much more for them
to catch a couple breaks and just improve which we
saw them do a little bit towards the end of
last season. Get over 500 and we've already seen
that just getting over 500 can get you into the
playoffs. The Steelers made the playoffs last season,
the eagles made the playoffs last season, even the
season before that, the Washington commanders made the playoffs
Detroit is really not that far away. I know
you don't want to believe in them, but they
were a decent team last season. Alright ulrik dude
Got to be the jaguars right, they were so
bad in 2021. Like even finishing around 500,
like what? That would constitute a major step forward
. Oh boy, it's not going to be the
jaguars for me. This is honestly, this is
a tough question right now just because of how much
quarterback uncertainty there are with so many teams. Like
I kind of want to go off the wall and
pick like the Steelers, but I have no idea
what they're doing at that position. I mean like
who knows, I mean who knows who's starting there
. So let's go with a little bit more of
, of certainty just with the, in terms of
who's gonna be playing quarterback and let's stay in the
same division to go against Pierce with the NFC north
. Let's pick the Chicago bears. I actually really
like this higher matt ever flys as as the new
head coach. Very, very solid defense or in
the Indianapolis colts over the last few years and everyone's
all up in arms. Oh my God, they
hired a defensive coach. What are they doing to
Justin fields out there? Who cares? Your coach
doesn't have to be an offensive guru. The Chargers
basically approved that this year when they went out and
hired a defensive minded coach as well and they still
lifted Justin Herbert to the new heights. You just
need a coach with common sense and guess what defense
also wins games. I think the Chicago Bears are
gonna be in a good bounce back spot, They've
still got good defensive pieces, they've got a great
young wide receiver combo with fields and Darnell Mooney.
I think you're gonna see that team be a lot
better and challenge for a playoff spot next year.
