5. Bold Predictions
-DKrom: Evan McPherson (aka “Evan McFEARLESS”) wins the Super Bowl on a last-second, all-time record tying 66-yard FG!!!
-Hal: Joe Mixon, three second-half TD’s, 200 total yards from scrimmage and gets Super Bowl LVI MVP honors
6. Challenge Flags
-DKrom: Bengals, do NOT be too predictable on offense by always running the ball on first down. You only risk putting yourself in less advantageous down-and-distance situations on third down, which will make Von Miller and Aaron Donald SALIVATE
-Hal: Roger Goodell…LISTEN to Brian Flores, do a real investigation of Washington, and come clean on Deflategate!!!!
