Unlike college football, Notre Dame's getting crushed.

They go, well, we scheduled Michigan State 10 years ago, and they were good, and now they suck.

And the NFL just rotates.

So part of the reason, I think, if you look at the NFC West and the AFC West, they're playing each other this year.

So those divisions are already good, and then it's like, oh, Seattle has to play Kansas City, has to play Denver, Denver plays the Niners.

And the other thing with the Bears last year –

is two of their three wins were against the Packers, a team that they just couldn't beat forever, and now they have momentum and confidence against them.

The other thing is, if you just pull up their schedule, that week three at night, Monday Night Football against the Eagles jumps out.

I watched that game on my couch on Black Friday last year.

Ben Johnson destroyed the Philadelphia Eagles and Vic Fangio's defense, ran it right down their throat.

So to me, the Giants and the Commanders got a lot of respect.

They're both getting four, I think, combined eight primetime games.

Jaden Daniels had one of the great rookie seasons we've ever seen.

But last year, he was banged up.

He's slim.

It's like, is their coach any good?

Ben Johnson's a star, and clearly Caleb.

His ceiling, who knows if he'll ever hit it, but he's damn good.

Can Jaden even stay on the field?

When does Caleb ever get hurt, either?
