4. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being not likely at all, 10 being all but guaranteed), how possible is it that Maxx Crosby has played his final down as a Raider?
5. Truth or Exaggeration

-Assuming the current draft order holds (and both Fernando Mendoza and Dante Moore declare), the Giants will trade the #2 overall pick to another QB-needy team
-The Titans must hire another Vrabel-type program builder as head coach (Jesse Minter, Jeff Hafley) as long as they bring in a proven OC (Brian Daboll, Kevin Stefanski)
-Bears DB’s coach Al Harris will be the hottest DC candidate this cycle
-The Bills will not win another AFC East title with Josh Allen unless they fire both Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane
-Michael Penix, Jr. will permanently lose the Falcons starting QB job at some point next season
-Malik Willis will be the starting QB for either the Steelers, Cardinals or Dolphins in 2026

7. Week 18 Bold Predictions
-DKrom: Lions lay another 50-burger on the Bears as Jared Goff sets the single game record with 8 TD passes in a 56-35 win
-Hal: Ravens score go-ahead TD on 4th down with just over a minute remaining in the game to take 20-19 lead...but on the two-point conversion, Lamar fumbles and Jalen Ramsey scoops it up and returns it 90-yards for two points and the Steelers win 21-20
8. Challenge Flags
-DKrom: Bucs…win or lose this weekend, do NOT extend Baker Mayfield this offseason and make him earn it next year
-Hal: All playoff teams...the field is wide open like never before...y'all have a shot, so make the most of this chance!
