Heisman winner predicts Georgia to lose three regular season games in 2025
Former Alabama Crimson Tide running back and FOX Sports college football analyst Mark Ingram is not high on the Georgia Bulldogs entering the 2025 college football season. Ingram thinks that Georgia will have a disappointing season.
"We own the Dawgs!" said Ingram on "The Triple Option" podcast after predicting that Georgia would lose their first game of the season at home against Alabama. The podcast features former Florida and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer and fellow FOX college football analyst Rob Stone. Ingram also went on to predict that Georgia will lose to the Texas Longhorns and Florida Gators. Georgia's 2025 win total is set at 9 and 1/2 wins and Ingram, who won the Heisman in 2009, is taking the under.
If Georgia wins just nine games, then the Bulldogs would be unlikely to advance to the SEC championship (three conference losses) or the College Football Playoff. The only team with three losses to make the 2024-2025 playoff was the Clemson Tigers, but Clemson won the ACC championship, so they received an automatic playoff berth.
Ingram thinks there's a possibility Georgia will win one of three games against Alabama, Florida or Texas, but with Georgia breaking in a new starting quarterback in Gunner Stockton he is not as optimistic for the Bulldogs' 2025 season.

Cousins says on Netflix's 'Quarterback' he played through arm injury to keep Falcons' starting job
ATLANTA (AP) — Kirk Cousins said on the Netflix series 'Quarterback' that he played through an injury to his right, throwing arm last season in part to keep from losing his starting job with the Atlanta Falcons to rookie backup Michael Penix Jr. At minicamp last month, Cousins said he realized after last season he wasn't as healthy as he thought he was at the time, citing an ankle injury that affected his mobility. In the seventh and final episode of the second season of the Netflix show, which was released Tuesday, he said he made the best decision he could at the time after taking a big hit to his right shoulder and ribcage from New Orleans' Payton Turner on Nov. 10. Cousins was seen in an earlier episode telling training staff on the sideline he bruised his elbow 'pretty good' but insisted he was all right and never missed time. 'Immediately my elbow lit up, and I knew I irritated something,' Cousins said on the show. 'Had shooting pain kind of right through inside my elbow. My shoulder started to really throb, so I knew right away, like OK this is a little more serious. Once I lost my shoulder and my elbow, I didn't have many other places to lean on to get the power I needed.' After appearing on just the Week 11 injury report and none beyond that with "right shoulder, right elbow" limiting his participation in one practice, Cousins threw eight interceptions and just one touchdown pass over the next four games, and Atlanta went 1-3 before turning to Penix. Cousins said on 'Quarterback' he did not want to come out because 'You also know that if you sit down Week 10 and take two or three weeks or more to let it heal, you may never get your job back" and referenced Drew Brees' book about Doug Flutie teaching him never to let his backup see the field. 'That was something I always was aware of: that in this league, if you give someone else the chance, if you want to be Wally Pipp and there's Lou Gehrig behind you, that can happen.' Also on 'Quarterback,' Cousins also said he felt 'a little bit misled' by Atlanta signing him in free agency last year, then selecting Penix with the eighth pick in the draft. He said he might have re-signed with the Minnesota Vikings had he known the Falcons would draft a QB in the top 10. "Certainly, if I had the information around free agency, it certainly would've affected my decision,' Cousins said on the first episode of the season. 'I had no reason to leave Minnesota with how much we loved it there if both teams are going to be drafting a quarterback high." Cousins, who turns 37 in August, remains on Atlanta's roster with the beginning of training camp two weeks away. This is set to be his 14th NFL season since being drafted in the fourth round by Washington in 2012. ___ AP NFL:

Former NFL star Asante Samuel Sr unleashes on Dolphins, questions team's leadership after Jalen Ramsey trade
Asante Samuel Sr. spent the majority of his NFL career with the New England Patriots. His son, Asante Samuel Jr., spent the first four years of his professional football career with the Los Angeles Chargers. The younger Samuel is currently listed as an NFL free agent. The Miami Dolphins recently sent three-time All-Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers and could be looking to bolster their cornerback room. But the elder Samuel's recent scathing comments on the state of the Dolphins franchise could put a damper on the possibility of his son landing in South Florida. From Samuel Sr.'s point of view, the Dolphins organization suffers from deficiencies from the top down. He shared his sentiments about the franchise during a recent appearance on his "Say What Needs To Be Said" podcast as he reacted to the trade that sent Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh. The Dolphins did acquire safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in exchange for Ramsey and Smith. Both teams also traded draft picks as part of the deal. "The Dolphins had no reason to trade Jalen Ramsey other than they're sensitive. There's no leadership in the Dolphins organization," Samuel asserted. "[Head coach] Mike McDaniel is a pushover. Chris Grier, the general manager — he has no backbone. These guys over here, the Miami Dolphins, they are running this team like a little league team. No one can stand up to the players. They are terrified of their own players, and they have no control over their players." The Sun Sentinel reported that Ramsey was tardy to team meetings and practice sessions on a routine basis during his tenure with the Dolphins. In 2023, the star cornerback also reportedly clashed with Vic Fangio — the Dolphins defensive coordinator at the time. "He became a symbol of the Dolphins just collecting talent rather than building a team," the report from June stated. "Ramsey and Tyreek Hill were constantly late for practices or meetings in a manner that set the culture of last year's Dolphins." While the Dolphins have had some regular-season success under McDaniel, he has yet to guide the team to a postseason victory. The Dolphins' last playoff victory came in 2000. Ramsey is credited with 24 career interceptions. He will join a cornerback room in Pittsburgh that features Darius Slay Jr. and Joey Porter Jr. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
