Hey Mike. Bills aren’t locked in at the 2 seed yet since they lost to the Ravens earlier in the year. They need to win one of that last two or a Ravens loss. As for the NFC, you are missing that three teams are getting in from the NFC North. Essentially the only spot is 7 for Washington unless they lose the last two games.
Happy new year Michael. Been fan of your professional sports expertise since late 70’s and wfan beginning days to now. Grew up in s farmingdale/n Massapequa Italian very Much the same as you. I enjoy all your takes but as s diehard jets fan. Your take on jets is best. Thanks
Mike arrogantly slips in that he has Nabers on his fantasy team and won’t need him as he has locked down a fantasy championship… something he mocked and made fun of people who played for decades…
LOL, yeah, he got lost on the fact three teams from the NFC North are in, and put Seattle as the last wildcard, when Washington will be the last wildcard as it stands now.
Can't recall an NFL season with this many bad teams. 9 of them who have 4 wins or less going into Week 17. That is over 25% of the league. 'Putrid' as Mad Dog would say.
I think that’s actually a good thing as it means you also have some very good teams at the top with double-digit wins. Parity is good but when a large amount of teams finish around 8-8, as has been the case in some recent years, you get the feeling that there aren’t any very good teams and that mediocrity is the best the league has to offer.
Mike made a mistake with the cowboys saying that that still have a tiny chance, that don't. There are three teams with records that Dallas can't catch do they're out. Redskins, Green Bay and Minnesota.
It is criminal negligence what they're doing to Caleb in Chicago. Seattle brought the blitz all game and the OC made no adjustments: no screens, quick outs, no motion, allowing the rookie to be sacked 7 times (yes, a couple were on him). And Stroud's O-line may be the worst in the league.
Russell Wilson camp is looking for an extension next season. Hell no. He's on the downside, he lacks the improvisation and escapability of his earlier years. He's overachieving: credit to Tomlin and the OC. Let's pump the brakes.
It’s always the giants are that bad “right now”. Too painful for him to admit how awful they’ve been and for how long. Nah, Michael, they’re just that bad. No right-now stuff.
I find Mike very entertaining. But he clearly doesn’t understand football or does not watch all the games. His analysis of the Vikings is completely wrong. Like most people he gushes over the Packers. He names the attributes. They’re important in the playoffs. Yet the Vikings have themmore thoroughly than the Packers do. He forgets that the Vikings had the Packers down 28 to 0 in their game. He just doesn’t understand football. Complete imbecile. Minnesota I think is the best team in the NFC. I made a lot of money off them this year. I’m not even a fan, but that team has balance. Far superior to the Packers.
@ nonsense. Tell me one game that Green Bay won this year that was significant. They have no signature wins. I’m not even a Vikings fan, but I think they’re the best team of football. Complete balance. I think they make a run.
@ The issue is Green Bay has a QB people believe in and Minny has a journeyman QB in Sam Darnold nobody believes can win a superbowl until he proves otherwise. Has nothing to do with how well Minny has played. Lamar Jackson is a perennial playoff choker but if Baltimore leans on Derek Henry to carry them they can reach a superbowl. And I could care less about either team. I just know football
Vikings have a legit D with Brian Flores and have a QB with chip on his shoulder looking to prove he belongs in the NFL, arguably the best WR in football ( Jefferson), a really good #2 WR ( Addison) and a good run game with Jones. They are a threat for sure.

Mike has no clue ... Bills can be caught by Baltimore.... This guy
Mike, I listened to your boys on with Sal today! They are good, like their Dad! They shared memories with you with Sal!
IS IT ME OR DID THE SEASON FLY BY THIS YEAR?
It does and it sux
Not if you were a Giant fan. LOL
@js5866 lol

Mike arrogantly slips in that he has Nabers on his fantasy team and won’t need him as he has locked down a fantasy championship… something he mocked and made fun of people who played for decades…
He also said he would never do a podcast.
😂😂😂
Lol now you all know he would just say "I never said that!! Not one time." 🤣🤣🤣 just like he "never" fell asleep on air...good times...
That's because he has more time on his hands now.
Mike said he never farted on the air too 😂
Mike just listed the 7 probable NFC playoff teams and omitted Minnesota, who are already in.
He also said in the beginning that Vikings could end up being the #1 seed but doesn’t believe they are a for real SB contender 😅😅😅
He has zero respect for them and with good reason they do this every
year.post a great record and then get mauled in Philly or somewhere else.
Mike disrespecting the Vikings leaving them out of the playoffs.
Lmfao great content
LOL, yeah, he got lost on the fact three teams from the NFC North are in, and put Seattle as the last wildcard, when Washington will be the last wildcard as it stands now.
Hi Mike-Buffalo has not wrapped up the #2 slot. Need a win against the Jets or Pats.👍🏻
He knows that, do you think the Bills will lose both games? Lol it’s locked up bud
The Cowboys were eliminated washington commanders win vs. Eagles. The Cowboys are 3 games behind the Commanders.
He's right about the NFL in the United States, but globally soccer is still king.
The counter to that is we don't care what the rest of the world likes. 🇺🇸
@ well, the NFL is trying to go more global, however I don't know if that will be successful.
@@festushaggen2563💯💯
Mike is starting to look more and more like Larry King everyday.
Let's see if he starts wearing suspenders 😂
Can't recall an NFL season with this many bad teams. 9 of them who have 4 wins or less going into Week 17. That is over 25% of the league. 'Putrid' as Mad Dog would say.
There is just not enough talented players and coaches out there to fill up all 32 teams.
I think that’s actually a good thing as it means you also have some very good teams at the top with double-digit wins.
Parity is good but when a large amount of teams finish around 8-8, as has been the case in some recent years, you get the feeling that there aren’t any very good teams and that mediocrity is the best the league has to offer.
I'm not going to talk about the other bowl games...
goes on to talk about other bowl games
The Giants hold the mantle of the most wretched performances of any team ever.
Mike made a mistake with the cowboys saying that that still have a tiny chance, that don't.
There are three teams with records that Dallas can't catch do they're out. Redskins, Green Bay and Minnesota.
Once my fantasy football season ended I don't really care anymore
I still care about this podcast but not about football itself.. lol
I'm just happy i don't have to watch lazy gleyber torres anymore.
How do you fix the Rangers Mike?
I only comment on hockey if it’s the playoffs
@ Season started in September
I am not sure Young has won the job for next year. Have the Panthers said that?
Bills by 60
According to Mike, if Minnesota doesn’t win the division they will completely miss the playoffs with 13 plus wins.
WHY DONT YOU GIVE POINTSPREAD PICKS MIKE?
His picks are on the Bet rivas app😊
@ I’ll look…I think I have it…Thanks
It is criminal negligence what they're doing to Caleb in Chicago. Seattle brought the blitz all game and the OC made no adjustments: no screens, quick outs, no motion, allowing the rookie to be sacked 7 times (yes, a couple were on him). And Stroud's O-line may be the worst in the league.
Spot on and the ONE single screen they called popped Swift got like 30 something yards
Forgot Minnesota
Is it me or does Francesa have a noticeable cut on the right side of his mouth?
Popped a zit
Pizza sauce 🍕?
Cowboys are eliminated I thought
Don't try to argue with mike
IM MORE OF A TEASER PLAYER M’SELF ; USUALLY THE + or - 6 TYPE…ITS BEEN GOOD TO ME BUT ITS BEEN A TRICKY YEAR THIS YEAR.
Cowboys are eliminated Mike
Thought I read that last week before the SNF game. Not sure where he's getting that.
Mike I'm listening to your son on WFAN....Wow...kid is great. IM definitely hanging in to hear your other son...
Hey mike. 👋 can the giants go 16 and 0. Next year. If they hire giambi ? Ill hang up and listen 📞
😂😂😂 old school
Mike just dismissed Minnesota from the playoffs ENTIRELY
Your nfc playoff picture is all wrong Mike…Minnesota will be 5 Green Bay will be 6..you didn’t even include Minnesota…smh
MIKE KEEP HATING VIKES LOVE IT, YOU WILL FIND OUT
Mike said Dallas has only a remote chance of making the playoffs. Cowboys have already been eliminated according to ESPN.
Russell Wilson camp is looking for an extension next season. Hell no. He's on the downside, he lacks the improvisation and escapability of his earlier years. He's overachieving: credit to Tomlin and the OC. Let's pump the brakes.
Mike you completely botched up your playoff picture. The cowboys have no chance on making the playoffs.
Packers can’t be five
Fly Iggles Fly
It’s always the giants are that bad “right now”. Too painful for him to admit how awful they’ve been and for how long. Nah, Michael, they’re just that bad. No right-now stuff.

Let us know when Minny ever wins anyrhing or a big game. Last time they played a big game Gary Anderson choked away a superbowl appearance away
@ nonsense. Tell me one game that Green Bay won this year that was significant. They have no signature wins. I’m not even a Vikings fan, but I think they’re the best team of football. Complete balance. I think they make a run.
@ The issue is Green Bay has a QB people believe in and Minny has a journeyman QB in Sam Darnold nobody believes can win a superbowl until he proves otherwise. Has nothing to do with how well Minny has played. Lamar Jackson is a perennial playoff choker but if Baltimore leans on Derek Henry to carry them they can reach a superbowl. And I could care less about either team. I just know football
Vikings have a legit D with Brian Flores and have a QB with chip on his shoulder looking to prove he belongs in the NFL, arguably the best WR in football ( Jefferson), a really good #2 WR ( Addison) and a good run game with Jones. They are a threat for sure.
Mike forgot more about NFL football than you will ever know
