And tonight we kick off the 2025 NFL season. And for those of you who don't know my background, I worked for Nielsen for many years. I specialized in sports television ratings. I get why the NFL has put the Cowboys in so many of these games. I get the appeal for advertisers. I get the appeal for the broadcast. It backfired tonight because this is a game where you want to celebrate the sport. You wanna celebrate the league. And the Cowboys are just drenched in negativity right now. And if this game gets away from them, if this thing is 24 to three at halftime, the entire second half of this game will be Collinsworth talking about Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones. And that is not what the NFL wants tonight. Two predictions. I'll give you the Bears. I'll give you the Super Bowl. I was on 10 wins for the Bears in the spring. I was on 10 wins for the Bears all summer. I am on 10 wins for the Bears now. I think this is a sneaky six or seven seed in the NFC playoffs. And I think it's fair for Bears fans to expect that. Treat this team like a serious football outfit and say, if you don't make the playoffs, it's a failure. I think they can get there. I do not think it's a deep NFC. I don't think they're gonna win a playoff game, but I think they can get there. Super Bowl prediction, here it comes quick. Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers. I just think, I thought the Packers were going before the Micah Parsons trade. Micah Parsons is a guy who will make his impact if he stays healthy in the fourth quarter of playoff games. Bills, Packers, Josh Allen gets the Super Bowl.
