Rich Eisen · Aug 1, 2025

During "What's More Likely," Eisen picked the Ravens to reach the Super Bowl, insisted Terry McLaurin, Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson will all be playing Week 1 for their current teams, said Daniel Jones (not Anthony Richardson) will be the Colts' starting quarterback, and predicted Chase Brown becomes a top-10 running back as Cincinnati's Week 1 starter.

Chase Brown's gonna be a top 10 running back this year.

  • Daniel Jones to be 1st on the depth chart

    You don't think it's gonna end up being Anthony Richardson? No. I still think it'll be Daniel Jones because you can always go to Richardson second.

  • Trey Hendrickson to make the roster

    And Trey Hendrickson's gonna be gunning for, I I believe, Joe Flacco week one in Cleveland. And they'll all have their new deals

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Micah Parsons to make the roster

    All three are in week one. ... Micah's gonna be in Philadelphia chasing Jalen Hertz

  • Terry McLaurin to make the roster

    All three are in week one. ... McLaren is going to be at home against the Giants trying to do what he did last year again. ... But if you have to choose one over the other, I'd go McLaurin.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Baltimore Ravens to reach the Super Bowl

    I'll go Ravens reach the Super Bowl. ... So Ravens reaching the Super Bowl. I mean, that that's as reasonable as a thought as anything else.
