#489: 2024 Week 13 NFL Preview (with Hal Bent)

Sports Krunch w/DKROM

1. Week 12 Takeaways

-DKrom: Lamar Jackson is "Mr. Monday Night Football"

-Hal: Week 12 was a script not even Hollywood could write

2. Week 12 Honors

-GOAT of the Week (DKrom: Brandon Graham, Hal: Saquon Barkley)

-Dunce of the Week (DKrom: John Mara, Hal: Texans D)

3. Does Saquon Barkley have an extremely powerful case to be the first RB to win NFL MVP honors since Adrian Peterson in 2012?

4. If the Cowboys win say three more games and Jerry Jones DOES end up keeping Mike McCarthy, would that be a catastrophically dumb decision even by Jerry Jones standards?

5. Truth or Exaggeration

-Tee Higgins will be either a Los Angeles Charger or a New England Patriot in 2025

-Bryce Young has earned the right to be the starting QB for the Panthers in 2025

-Next season, the Texans will have 3 or 4 new starters on the offensive line

-It is in the Bears best interest to retain the services of Thomas Brown next year, whether it be as OC or even head coach

-It's now a two-horse race for the #1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft between the Raiders and Giants

-Hiring Mike Tannenbaum and Rick Spielman to lead the search for a new head coach and GM will BADLY backfire against the Jets

-The Eagles are by far the most dangerous threat to the Lions in the NFC

6. Eagles at Ravens Preview

-Hal: Vikings up 22-16 with less than 2 minutes left...and the Cardinals Jesse Luketa blocks a 35-yard FG and returns it all the way to give the Cardinals the 23-22 lead...and a Sean Murphy-Bunting INT on the following drive seals the win

9. Challenge Flags

-DKrom: Houston Texans, in order to best protect C.J. Stroud, FEED JOE MIXON!!!!

-Hal: All teams with 2 or 3 wins...keep your eye on the prize...which is the top pick in the draft!!!!
