This transcript does not include audio timing.

These are my top teams going into week eight of the NFL. So I just wanted to go over what teams are the best and what teams are kind of not doing so good this season. First off, we got the Patriots and the Bengals. The Patriots really don't got a lot going for them it seems. They can't even figure out what quarterback they want to play. So we're gonna pick Bengals. We got the ketchup mustard and sour cream team versus the [inaudible] team. Obviously. We got the Chiefs and the Falcons. I don't know what to say there. The Bears and the Rams. Both these teams aren't doing too hot right now, but I still think that the Rams have a better chance because of their consistency. The Giants and the Colts. The Colts have not been doing very good at all. As far as I know, their running back is still having issues and the Giants have actually been doing it with their rookies and their young teams. So we're gonna pick the Giants. The Packers and the Titans. The Packers just, you know, they flunked in the NFC championship. I didn't expect them to screw up this early. The 49ers and the Jets. The 49ers aren't doing too bad, they got a lot of offensive weapons, especially since they traded for McCaffrey. But I just don't think they can put it together. The Eagles and the Chargers. I think the Chargers are doing okay, but I don't think it's their year. I think they got some things to work out before they can look at a championship. The Buccaneers and the Ravens. Since I'm recording this on Friday, I actually get to see who won. The Raiders actually beat the Buccaneers on Thursday night football. It was kind of a close game, but I'm still gonna pick the Ravens. The Bengals and Kansas City. We're gonna pick the Kansas City condiments. Tom Brady's going through some stuff with his family right now, but I don't know what he's doing on the field. Bengals and Kansas City. I'm gonna pick the Kansas City. The Rams and the Giants. I think the Giants are gonna win. The Packers and the Jets. The Jets already beat the Packers. I still think the Jets would be able to win. The Eagles and the Ravens. I think the Eagles have together more, they worked together as a team better. The Chiefs and the Giants. I think the Chiefs are gonna win. The Jets and the Eagles. I think the Eagles have together more, they worked together as a team better. The Chiefs and the Eagles. I think the Eagles would be able to pull it off. If I was a betting man, which I am not, I'm gonna go with Patty Mahomes. Super Bowl rematch from forever ago. Steelers versus the Cardinals. I'm gonna pick the Cardinals. There's not a lot to think about. Raiders versus Washington. I'm gonna pick the Raiders. Bills versus Panthers. I'm gonna pick the Bills. There's not much to think about. Jaguars versus Vikings. The Vikings aren't necessarily the best team in the NFL, but I think that they are more cohesive and two, just more talented than the Jaguars. Cowboys versus Lions. Seahawks versus Texans. I don't even care who the quarterback is. Seahawks versus Texans. Seahawks. Dolphins versus Browns. I'm gonna pick the Dolphins all the way. I know they only had a close win over the Steelers in week seven. The momentum is really important. So I like to look at the games from the past week. They barely lost to the Ravens by three points. I'm gonna pick the Browns. Raiders versus Bills. As long as their line is pretty good, I think they're better than the Dolphins. Seahawks versus Browns. Seahawks. Bills versus Seahawks. I don't really like the Seahawks. Every Seahawks fan I know is always way too proud to be a Seahawks fan. And then the one year that they're good at out of the past six, they decided to just shove it all in everybody's faces. So I think the Bills would win. Anyway, that's it. That's my week eight rankings for the NFL. Make sure to like and subscribe if you remotely enjoyed this video. In the next couple of weeks, I'll be making a video based solely on offensive line. So pay attention to that. Thanks much for watching. Stay hydrated. Wear sunscreen. Do your homework. Bye.
