Leonard Fournette· Sep 4, 2026
Co-host (identified in the transcript only as "Leonard") went week-by-week on Atlanta's schedule, ranked the NFC North, predicted Odell Beckham Jr. over 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns, picked the Bears, Bengals and Texans in their divisions, and took the Bengals over the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
“So my prediction for Odell, he's going to go over 1,000. I give him seven touchdowns.”
