Analyst believes the Commanders will finish ahead of the Eagles in the NFC East

There is at least one person who thinks the Commanders will finish ahead of the Eagles.

Where did the hosts of “First Things First” predict the Commanders would finish in the NFC East this year?

Monday, the hosts made their predictions and reasons why. Here are their predictions for the NFC East and what they had to say about the Commanders specifically.

Nick Wright: Cowboys, Commanders, Eagles, Giants

“The argument for the Washington Commanders is simple. The new coach bump from Dan Quinn, and the fact that I like Jayden Daniels as a player. I don’t like him long-term as a prospect because I am concerned about the injuries.

I’m concerned about his body, his frame, and his ability to survive eight, nine, ten years in this league. That’s my whole argument against him. That he is too small for a long NFL career, that doesn’t mean he can’t be dynamic in an individual season.

They have decent weapons and I understand defensively there are going to be some struggles. However, there is always a team that everyone has written off as one of the worst teams in the league that is going to make the playoffs or is right there. I don’t have them making the playoffs, but I do have them finishing second.”

Chris Broussard: Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, Giants

“I love Jayden Daniels. I think he is going to have a dynamic year, and I think they are growing. That doesn’t mean I think he is making the playoffs as a rookie. But I think he has a bright future.”

Greg Jennings: Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, Giants

“You (Nick Wright) say Jahan Dotson is not a good receiver? You are out of your mind. He had a down year last year. I like him in this situation. I think what they are trying to do is really put a lot of pieces around Jalen Hurts…I don’t know how confident they are in him carrying the load. When you start to load up around a quarterback like this, you’re saying he needs more around him.”

I like the Cowboys, but they are not making the playoffs. I’m sorry, Cowboy Nation.”

Jennings did not provide any commentary on the Commanders or Giants.

FS1 host thinks Titans’ Taylor Lewan plays for Bills; Twitter roasts him

Twitter had some fun with Chris Broussard botching his analysis of the Titans-Bills game.

When you talk about cringeworthy moments on television, this clip of FOX Sports 1 host Chris Broussard saying that Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan plays for the Buffalo Bills definitely qualifies as one of those moments.

During a segment on the FS1 show, “First Things First,” Broussard, who is better known for his coverage of the NBA, stated that the Bills got stuffed at the three-yard line on fourth down late in the fourth quarter to seal their loss because they were missing their Pro Bowl left tackle, Taylor Lewan.

Of course, Lewan, who did exit the game early after suffering a scary injury in the first half, plays for the… oh, you know already.

What makes this clip even more cringeworthy is the fact that Broussard delivers his analysis with such conviction despite it being horribly wrong.

As you’d expect, Twitter roasted the television host for his epic blunder.

Chris Broussard: ‘It just doesn’t seem like it’s in the cards’ for the Nets this year

Chris Broussard is worried about the Nets’ health issues.

Chris Broussard hopped on “Speak For Yourself” with Marcellus Wiley and Emmanuel Acho to express his concern for this Brooklyn Nets team, which seems to be the common trend nowadays. Broussard is now beginning to panic with the Nets losing James Harden due to a setback on his hamstring injury.

He said, “Harden is the guy. With KD and Kyrie, they were just 2 and 3. Before James Harden joined Brooklyn they were just 7-6. He was the straw that stirred the drink with his selflessness and his playmaking ability, and they were rolling. I even think KD and Harden can win the championship — Unless they have Harden and KD together, they got no chance of winning it all.”

Brooklyn has been struggling with injuries all season long and it seems like a hump that will haunt them heading into the playoffs. Because this treacherous journey has had this one problem, Chris Broussard said, “It just doesn’t seem like it’s in the cards for them to win it this year.”

It’s easy to see why Broussard has come down to this conclusion. He bet on the Nets to win it all a couple weeks ago and even announced that “it was over.” Now, he is betting against them. It’s ok because the Brooklyn Nets and Steve Nash are still betting on themselves as they continue to navigate through this tough patch.

Chris Broussard on the Nets winning it all: ‘That’s all I can see’

Chris Broussard says the only team that can beat the Nets is the Nets themselves.

The world has seen enough. It didn’t take 24 hours after Kevin Durant’s return to the Brooklyn Nets for basketball analysts and insiders to predict this team is the clear-cut favorite to win it all.

Chris Broussard of Fox Sports appeared on “Undisputed” on Thursday. When asked if he though the Nets could win it all this season, he replied “that’s all I can see.”

He continued: “This is an embarrassment of riches. If everybody is healthy — I only see one team out there that can beat the Brooklyn Nets. And that’s the Brooklyn Nets.”

Although the Big 3 has played only seven games together, that’s apparently been enough to show they are ready to win it all. Usually it takes a newly formed Big 3 a whole season to be worthy enough to enter that conversation. That just goes to show how much fear Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving have put onto the league in the past couple of months.
