In the Week 11 podcast of Let’s Go! With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray, CJ Stroud had important comments to drop. He excitedly stated, “We’re playing our best ball in November, which you want to see because Day is leading those guys. I think Kyle McCord, our quarterback, is looking great! Marvin is the best player in the country… If he does not win the Heisman, it is rigged.

Considering what Stroud stated, it would be safe to think that he has an enormous amount of confidence in his team. And the Buckeyes have an important match scheduled. The team will be playing against another powerful team, the Michigan Wolverines. Well, that’s when the seven-time Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady, had this interesting idea to bet on the match. And that’s pretty risky because he might lose his Super Bowl rings!

Tom Brady’s risky bet with Stroud

After hearing how highly Stroud thinks of the Buckeyes, Tom Brady could not help but put forward an idea to make a bet. He stated, “So, if Ohio State wins, which I don’t really feel as well… whatever we’re gonna see. How about this: you get one of my Super Bowl rings.” Brady sounded extremely confident that Michigan was going to win and risked his SB ring without any hesitation. He did mention that he never bet his SB ring, so he should be a little nervous.

He continued, “And if Michigan beats Ohio State, then you gotta give me all your youth, your agility, your time in the 40, and all your future years in the NFL. How about that?” Stroud had no problem with that and smoothly agreed. That’s an exciting bet! Who do you think will win it?
