Greg Jennings· Sep 18, 2026
Jennings put the Cardinals up as his upset alert over Seattle, backed the Texans over Cincinnati and the Bears over Minnesota with chips, put two chips on Denver beating Jacksonville, and wrote a headline of the Packers beating the Jets; he also called the Bengals a playoff team and the Chiefs winners over Indianapolis.
“I got a nice little headline. Alright. And it's gonna read Jets grounded. Jordan Love and the Packers fly past New York.”
