Yesterday we did Offensive Rookie the Year, Defensive Rookie the Year, and Coach of the Year. Today, we're going to tell you our fourteen playoff teams. Not everyone can make it. Every other show on televisions like this could be the team and you really like Kyler. Are you gonna put your name on it? Are you gonna put the Cardinals in the playoffs? Are you gonna put the Broncos in the playoffs? We have to make our decisions to put our names on it. That is today very stressful. The last twenty four hours. Who's in, Who's out?

We do these training camp tours on all the networks, including Hours, and you come out of this and you're like, they look amazing. How amazing are they? Are you putting them over the forty nine ers? Are you putting them over the chief?

I was down to last few teams last night, eliminating lemonade, and my husband goes, let's just think about your career. At this point, I'm like, if this is what we're pulling into and we're going to get feedback from people, and that's what we care about, we have a different issue. Okay, this is how deep it was going in my house. I was soliciting everybody's advice.

Last week we had Tom Pella Sarawan. He is our insider assigned to us today and I sat at the table with Tom during a commercial and picked his brain. Tom, I just got to tell you were off no help to me. You were way too logical. You did not help any of my emotional state when it came to picking my pound puppy team. So no, thank you.

This is the beauty of it, Jamie, is that you can make a case for everybody. Everybody zero and zero will finally get to see him on the field, but you have to file your predictions prior to that, so that also no help to you. We are two days away from the kickoff of the NFL season, which also means we got the first official injury report of the season on Monday. Both the Ravens and the Chiefs look pretty healthy going into Week one for Kansas City. The only player who didn't practice was wide receiver Hollywood Brown. He is not expected to play Thursday night as he continues to recover from that sc joint injury that he suffered back in training camp. That means a heavy dose of some of the other Chiefs wide receivers, including their rookie first round draft pick zaf You're Worthy. This week, several other Chiefs, including defensive tackle Chris Jones, listed as full participants. Jones, you might remember had a little bit of a shoulder issue early in camp. Some believe maybe he was just milking that to get a couple of days. He's listed, but not believed to be a concern. He should be full go for the opener. As for the Ravens, they have no starters on the injury report headed into week one here. That is especially notable because their star tight end Mark Andrews had missed a substantial chunk of training camp after being involved in a car accident in mid August. John Harbaughs said that Andrews had been dealing with something minor.

Well, whatever it is, they don't have to.

They would have had to disclose it, but they are not, which means he's not getting treatment for anything. Andrews also full go for this opener.

Full steam ahead for the Ravens. We appreciate a limited injury report from the teams that are kicking off the twenty twenty four season. Tom, thank you so much. The countdowns on only two more days until the Chiefs dropped their Super Bowl banner, they unveil their rings, and they kick off the NFL season against the Ravens. It's a feeling that Patrick Holmes does not take for granted.

You start appreciating playing these games. If you're gonna win another Super Bowl, I mean, that's your hope. You don't know if you're gonna be that opening night game. And so I remember my first year, I didn't play, but we go to the Patriots and play in that game, and I remember how specially that moment was for me, and even though I didn't step on the football field. And so I just try to appreciate these moments because you never know if there's gonna be your last one. But the hope is it isn't.

Strange to hear Mahomes reference a game in which he did not step on the football field. There was a time where that happened. It is no longer the Chiefs offense. When you looked at how they started last year, because they hosted the same game last year against the Lions, they struggled to start the year. They lost the kickoff game against the Lions after dropping their banner, and the following week, frankly, the numbers did not improve. None of that really matters though in terms of struggles, because they're hosting the game again which they won the Super Bowl. So Chiefs offense let's focus in on it, Peter. How does it avoid a slow start? How do you jump out of the gates differently than they did last year.

It's been a really cool offseason for the Chiefs. There was obviously celebrations, and there were ring ceremonies, and there were opportunities to do things outside a lot of football for a lot.

And yet I go to July thirteenth at a high school football field in Vineland, New Jersey. There's an amazing article that I've read over the summer, and in this high school football field, a player named Isaiah Pacheco was working out. However, the lights were not working because it was late. So Isaiah Pacheco and his trainer, his old teammate, Everett Wormly, went back to Pacheco's house and at midnight Pacheco turned on the street lights and put on all the lights in his house, of his New Jersey home. And these guys worked out from midnight to two am. They were not at the club, they were not partying, they were not in can they were not in a bitha.

They were there working.

And from everything I hear, Isaiah Pacheco has put the work in so to me, we could talk about all the new bells and whistles on the outside. We will, because they're all there. This guy, I think, is ready to have one of those seasons where we talk about him in the same conversation as Christian McCaffrey, as Jonathan Taylor, as Saquon.

As Breis Hall. I don't know where he is on all these fantasy drafts.

As Breis Hall. I don't know where he is on all these fantasy drafts.

Quite frankly, I don't pitch it into fantasy rankings because I look at team stuff, and I also look at how these guys performed during the season, this August projection, all that. For some reason, Pacheco isn't in that same conversation. Let me explain he's going into that big contract year. He has put in all the work. Wormley was a guy who he played with at Rutgers. He's now a trainer, trains a lot of these guys. What they did this summer was really cool. They worked out.

Obviously he's healthy.

They also said let's get you wide receiver reps to make you that player where they don't have an option to say, well, you only do this and your weakness is that he worked out as a wide receiver this summer. We're starting off a Tuesday morning show. I'm talking about probably the fifteenth best player in your head on the Kansas City Each we.

Le's go throw it to Pop Pachaco. So my big take, you know, how do you get things going? Don't be surprised if we see like Pachaco get twenty five touches on Thursday, Don't be surprised.

If Pacheco is the name we're talking about.

If Pacheco is the name we're talking about.

He is the only player in NFL history to start a Super Bowl in his first two NFL careers and win those Super Bowls. Only player Wow. And I think his best is yet to come. So I'm gonna go Isaiah Pachaco to kick off this morning show right where, big commercial for Pop Pachaco.

Awesome.

Awesome.

And I think if you still got your fantasy draft, if I didn't do it big enough, take them.

And I think if you still got your fantasy draft, if I didn't do it big enough, take them.

Take them takes like Isaiah Pacheco, love the way he runs. I'm a believer in the Kansas City Chiefs. I believe that they're going to start off really fast in this game. I think last year, when you think you look back to that game against the Detroit Lions, they started off slow. They didn't have Travis Kelce in that game, so of course that's a big piece for that offense. You think back to that game, you know Patrick Mahome throwing that pick six in that game, it was just ay. But I only think a lot of people expected the Detroit Lions defense to be that good coming in into the season, and so I think there were some adjustments that game. They only scored twenty points. This was not a high powered offense that we were expecting out of the Kansas City Chiefs.

I do believe what I saw in the preseason was fun and there's a lightness and a fun a vibe that I was getting out of the Chiefs. You know, usually the standard for every team is go in Vanilla, just do everything. Base will work on our base, will master the base. But what this tells me is that they're not hungover on the super Bowl win where the Super Bowl winners there's a lightness. And when you have that lightness, that means you have confidence, and we have confidence, that means you're going to start fast. So I do believe that they will start fast this season.

Can I ask you a question, do you kind of wish they saved that maybe for Thursday night or they kind of showed it too soon, like we are, okay, we've.

No.

No.

I actually like it in the preseason and because I think it just broke everybody from being like we had this big thing that we gotta save, and now once you got it out there, it's like like like the real beast is try to stop it again.

Like they were taking shots to Xavier in the preseason like I'm like, no, no, save it. Don't let anybody know how fast it is. They were just like here, oh you missed it, Come and get you missed it.

Of the first little view and the the units and everything was great, I turned on NFL network. You know what I did yesterday. I'm not joking. I watched the entire Super Bowl. It was on yesterday afternoon. Chief's Niners watched the entire thing. So many takeaways. First of all, God, the Niners had them. They absolutely blew it. They had a blocked extra point, a fumbled punt, McCaffrey fumbled. They had them, and they just couldn't beat them. But that this biggest thing that jumped out to me and watching the Chiefs team is like, I'll say it again, by their standards, that was not a great Chiefs team. They scored nineteen points in regulation, they just they weren't by their standards great, and they.

Still won the Super Bowl.

But what really jumped out is there's not a ton of juice. It's a lot of short and intermediate stuff. Mahomes at one point in Super Bowl hits a long one to Hardman. He makes a great catch on it, but that was really all they had down the field. Kelsey did his thing and it's short here and short here.

It was on the far side, so they didn't get to score on it. There wasn't a lot of that lightning strike electricity that got us to fall in love with Mahomes.

I had this collection of like youtubes that a couple times a year I will just revisit, like those are my my guns, I bookmark, like I love those five or six videos. One of them that I always watch is when Steve Jobs went on stage and introduced the first iPhone. I'm a Microsoft guy, of course, but when he got up there and that black turtleneck or whatever, and he puts it up there and the second he like reaches in and like pinches the photo fainting like they're to Michael Jackson. They were so blown away. So I feel like I feel like Andy Reid this year has a little bit of Steve Jobs in him, Like he went to the Chief's Corporate conference and everyone's like, Okay, you got him a lot of great things.

I know everyone wants to say it's preseason, this preseason that I disagree. I think he has a don't talk, don't talk on with me with your John Ross takes. I don't want to hear about Stanford Route or any of these other fast guys in history. None of those guys were thrown in with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. I know he's not gonna be Jerry Rice in season one, but I think he's gonna be a factor. I think's gonna be a factor in Week one. I think they got stuff for him. I think they're gonna have to get his hands on the ball. He's not gonna have seventy catches this year, but I think he's got big, big splash plays, and I think that's what they were missing in the Super Bowl that they barely barely won. I like the Xavier Worthy Smartphone edition from Andy in.

The building at Lucas Oil practically fainted when Xavier Worthy ran as forty at the scouting combine, and then the rest of the league should have fainted when the Chiefs drafted him. I mean, that's just not fair.

Yesterday here on Good Morning Football, we did some fun things. We talked about Coach of the Year and Rookies of the Year, and those are nice little uh brushetta nice little chicken wing. Start the meal, get the appetite going. Now, let's get into the stake. But we're gonna do each of us today, all four of us. We are going to deliver our predictions for all of the division winners this year and all of the wild cards. In other words, we're gonna give you all fourteen playoff teams for the twenty twenty four season, starting with me. I'm going to go first, and then everyone's going to have a turn. So here's the deal. I have my AFC, my NFC, and then there's the discard pile. That is a bunch of teams, eighteen teams that I do not think will make the playoffs this year.

I also think it's cool to look at that Green Bay Packers logo underneath you.

It looks like a fit, and I know it felt like a fit for you, Josh, But you've talked about how maybe the Chiefs are trying to get you and you weren't feeling that as a guy.

Who was with the Raiders.

You also said, I never wanted to be the guy that joined the dominant team. I want to be the guy that beats the dominant team. And it's a badass quote. It's just a little unusual in the NFL. Normally in the NFL, that Kevin Durant thing has looked at a little bit differently.

Man, like I said, Man, going against them and you know, obviously not not winning a lot against them kind of made me feel like a certain hate towards them. But not only that, Like I said, like growing up, I was the underdog. I went to Alabama to prove that I belonged. So I went there for myself. Now that I feel like I belong I don't want to be with the team that you know has all the pieces. I want to be the team that's figuring it out and you know it is taking down the Giants.

This is I love the chip that you already have on your shoulder here as a Packer because you go into a division that everyone's picking the Lions to go to the Super Bowl. Everyone's saying the bears of the hot team. Tell us about this Packers offense and what you guys have bruin, how you're gonna fit in, and what Matt Lafleur and Jordan Love got going last year, and just a little taste of what we can expect starting Friday night in South Polo.

Man, the thing that I noticed from day one about this offense is how explosive it is.

I mean, the tight ends, the receivers, you know, obviously the quarterback. Like any given even a given play, it could be a big one. And that's the thing that incites me the most. Obviously with having the top five quarterback you know, back there, he makes a lot of things easier. So man, it makes a decided for me. Man, I don't have to run against you know, loaded boxes every game. Teams don't definitely have to pick what they want.

To start, Josh. Last time you and I chatted, we were standing on a stage in Atlanta after the twenty eighteen SEC Championship, a game in which to a play Jalen played, but you were named the MVP. Standing on the other side of you that day was Nick Saban. He's not coaching college football anymore. How do you feel about Nick Saban leaving coaching and becoming the analyst that you're seeing charisma, character and personality from on TV?
