We'll pull up the top 4 where I'm sure we will see the Rams or the Seahawks at, oh, no, we will not.
The Philadelphia Eagles sit at #1 after that abject of a disaster of an offense that Frank apparently doesn't care.
Frank, why do you hate the NFC West?
Uh, I think the NFC West is well represented in my top 4.
They're half of the top 4, so that's fine.
Look, the Eagles, uh, everybody's talking about their offense, that's fine cause that's what we do with the Eagles.
We just focus on whatever is negative.
Their defense showed up for the first time on Monday night and just absolutely shut off Green Bay's water.
That's good for them going forward.
Yeah, the offense was, was bad.
I, I, I, I grant that, but overall, if the defense is gonna play like that, I, I mean, it's, it's lights out.
Like, the Eagles are the best team in football, they're the most reliable team in football.
They, the defense looked great last night for the first time since really last year's Super Bowl.
Uh, Eagles are gonna win that division by like 6 games.
I, I, yes, you could, you could dwell on the negativity about the Eagles if you want, but I, I choose to be positive fits, you know, me, I'm always Mr.
Positive around here.
So, Eagles defense showed up and solidified, of all things, the ranking of number 1 for me.
That was, look, it was an ugly one, but it was impressive.
All 4 of these teams could be number 1.
They really could.
The, the Colts have.
Great argument for it.
The Rams are very balanced.
I think Matthew Stafford is playing the best ball of his career, which is saying something.
The Seahawks are incredible.
I did think about putting the Seahawks #1.
I did, because I've been riding for them for weeks now.
I'm saying this is the secret.
I think the secret's out, like, the secret is out that the Seahawks are one of the best teams in football in Super Bowl already.
So, yeah, any of these 4 could have been number 1.
I, I don't think there's really a lot of big difference between these teams.
