This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Good Morning Football is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio.

Good morning football, presented by Old Trapper, as always.

But this week, a little specialty, a little treat.

We are live from NFL Films at Mount Laurel, New Jersey, which is adjacent to the city

of Brotherly Love, which happens to be the place that the Lombardi lives right now. It's Wednesday, September 3rd, the day before the season begins. Jamie Erdall, Manthaito, and Kyle Brandt. That was just a big old preview to the fact that we got a couple more days of shows, but there's a game tomorrow. Yes. There's a game tomorrow, and there's some more business here today and good morning football.

You might be looking at Jamie and Mantai and wondering why they're wearing those particular jerseys because those guys don't play tomorrow. I'm going to tell you after the show open why, and then I'm going to tease something coming up in the show about the jersey that I will be wearing. Let's start the program. Good Morning Football.

It's kick off Eve.

Boom.

Yeah.

Welcome to Good morning football, presented by Old Trapper. Yeah, that's right. What's up, everybody? Good morning football. Jamie, Mantickeye, Kyle, as always. It's kickoff week. It's kickoff Eve. It's all happening. But specifically, last hour, we are all zipped up in our hoodies. We're trying to keep a secret. I feel free. I feel very public about the fact that I think Baker Maple is going to win the MVP. Mantae thinks Lamont Jackson is going to win his third. And Kyle Brandt, you are still in your NFL network sanction polo. Yes, because I haven't made my MVP announcement yet. Not to pat myself in the back. Last year, I did accurately predict the MVP would be Josh Allen, but I wasn't putting myself out there too far. I will tease my IVP picks saying it is a little farther out there in that limb. And it's also, it's a player that gets people worked up. I am not just going to get it on the fair way and say, here's my MVP pick. It's going to be boring. It's going to be a conversation piece. And I strongly believe in it. But that's still to come.

Baker Mayfield, incredible pick, and Lamar for number three, man.

Number three, brother. Number three. It's just, it's all there. If you see the delivery of it,

it's the year of baw, the year of goat, the year of Lamar, the year of the eights.

I just love what the Ravens have over there as far as a team, not just Lamar. I think the MVP award is reflection just as much on a team as an individual, and I really like the Ravens. And despite Baker wearing number six, he is on his fourth team only, which is still a remarkable story for a number one overall pick. and we have reviewed it time and time again, but the Cleveland Panthers, Rams, Buccaneers situation coming off of his statistically best season of his career, the bucks are loaded. I put him in my playoff team selections, and that's why I go with Baker as my own VP. It's Ram-era Baker is an incredible chapter. Wasn't it like a week? Yeah, and he showed up and he started and he won and he beat the Raiders. It's an unbelievable chapter that Baker Mayfield was on the Rams. I believe wearing number 17. Yeah. It's now Devante Adams wears. It's just that really happened. Baker was on the Rams. But for now, he's the face of the Bucks and we'll see. I think I'm accurate in saying that we all three have the Bucks and the Ravens in the playoffs.

We made those selections yesterday on Good Morning Football.

So we made the picks for each conference, seven on each side.

We were able to sleep finally last night because these decisions keep us up at night.

So let's go playoff prediction conversation.

Tell me me guys,

which picks are you most proud of just to start the day? Manzi, what do you got? Well, if I looked at my picks, I would say that the San Francisco 49ers pick in the wild card
