Yesterday on Twitter (aka X) former NFL Quarterback Kurt Benkert posted this about me: 

"John with all due respect most of the things I see you saying on this app are really delusional." 

Whoa! Fightin' words. 

All in good fun, I challenged Kurt to a battle of football knowledge. Luckily today, he posted his NFL Preseason Predictions. So let's bookmark mine vs his:
