ESPN Allegedly Urges Jason Kelce to Endorse Monday Night Football Wager
In a lively segment on the Monday Night Countdown crew, ESPN pundit Jason Kelce made a bold prediction for Monday night's playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings. Kelce, known for his engaging style, stated that he would predict 2 or more touchdowns for Matthew Stafford, the Rams' quarterback.
Kelce's prediction was part of ESPN Bet's prop bets ahead of the playoff game. The popular pundit, who is not usually inclined to make touchdown predictions, expressed that he was told to do so for this particular game. Interestingly, Ryan Clark, another ESPN pundit, also made a prediction for the same game, predicting Kyren Williams to have 80+ rushing yards.
As the game unfolded, Stafford lived up to the expectations set by Kelce's prediction. He scored two touchdowns, contributing significantly to the Rams' impressive victory over the Vikings. This victory marked the Rams' advancement in the playoffs, much to the delight of their fans.
However, not everyone was pleased with the practice of pundits making predictions ahead of sports competitions. Some users expressed concerns, with Ben Grieser suggesting that such predictions should be banned. Criticism also came in the form of comments like "Embarrassing" and "Yikes," directed at Kelce's prediction.
Despite the criticism, Kelce remained confident in his prediction. He believed that Stafford had plenty of time to recover and was expected to perform well in the game. His prediction reiterated an initial prop bet take he made earlier.
Meanwhile, Clark joked about Kelce's prediction, saying that he chose Williams with 80+ rushing yards "Not because anybody told me to. But because I believe it." This light-hearted comment added to the lively atmosphere of the segment.
As the playoffs continue, the predictions and the excitement surrounding them are sure to grow. Stay tuned for more insights and analysis from the Monday Night Countdown crew.
