Welcome to Glass Slipper! I need Cam Rising to get healthy and resume this legacy campaign; please enjoy the show.

- Jacob Rhee

Every Sunday morning, I will make five bold predictions regarding the upcoming NFL games. Each time I get one incorrect, $10 is added to the money pot. At the end of the 18-week regular season, that pool of cash will be spent on gifts for random Glass Slipper subscribers. I hope you have a lot of fun rooting against me! Let’s have a great year.

Prediction 1: Justin Fields finishes with 275+ total yards against the Falcons

Justin Fields is a smart dude. He understands that this Russell Wilson calf injury is an opportunity for him to change the course of his NFL career. That’s not an exaggeration; if Justin goes nuts this afternoon, Steelers fans will do everything in their power to pressure Mike Tomlin into keeping him as the starter. Fields grew up right down the road, in Kennesaw. Does this not feel like the turning point in his documentary 15 years from now?

I have Atlanta winning today, but the former Buckeye will post big numbers. The QB conversation in Pittsburgh is far from over.

Prediction 2: 115+ receiving yards for Marvin Harrison Jr. in his NFL debut

I promised to send Glass Slipper subscribers gifts if Marv plays every game this season and finishes with under 1,000 yards. Your chances of prying into my pockets won’t look good in about 5 hours. I know there are folks in the audience that don’t watch a ton of college football, and I can’t wait for you to witness how awesome this kid is. The Cardinals have a decent chance to win in Buffalo, but their fans should be smiling regardless of the outcome. Your squad just drafted a future Hall of Famer.

Prediction 3: The Dolphins drop 38+ points on Jacksonville

Tua Tagovailoa always plays like a king in September, and he’s going to light up the scoreboard in this one. I actually think Tyson Campbell is a decent matchup for Tyreek Hill, but Miami has plenty of other weapons to utilize. Fantasy darling De’Von Achane is healthy, and Mike McDaniel has had months to prepare for this game. That’s bad news for a Jacksonville team trying desperately to regain the attention of football fans after a rough 2023. The Dolphins will coast to a victory.

Prediction 4: Caleb Williams, Bo Nix, and Jayden Daniels throw at least one interception each, and they all lose

This is essentially six predictions in one, so you guys have a good shot at some money here. All three of these rookies were great at protecting the ball in college. But being labeled as a franchise savior is a big burden, and the kids will start playing hero ball when they fall behind.

Prediction 5: The Niners beat the Jets by at least three possessions

Vegas has San Francisco as a 4-point favorite on Monday night, and I have absolutely no idea why that number is so low. New York is not winning this football game. Like, no chance. A 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers - coming off a torn Achilles - with Nick Bosa and Leonard Floyd flying off the edges? That’s what we call in the business a sitting duck. I think the Niners start 1-0 in convincing fashion. 31-13 is your final.
