The bulk of the NFL Season began today (September 13) and a lot of the Hip Hop world are football fans.

Recently speaking with Billboard, Ja Rule gave his NFL picks and explained why he doesn’t think Tom Brady will be making a return trip to the Super Bowl.

“I don’t think New England’s going to make it back — they’re kind of light on the wide receivers,” he explained. “That never really affected Tom Brady before, but… we’ll see.”

The New York native and Giants fan also predicted how his own team would fare in 2015. Ja says he’s a little nervous.

Cruz is coming back off of injury — he’s injured right now, I don’t know if he’s going to play Sunday. He might. Beckham, Jr.’s going to have a big season, believe that.” He also says Giants Quarterback Eli Manning is actually not his favorite at the position but he does root for him.

“I do love Eli because he won us two championships, and I do feel Eli’s an elite quarterback,” he explained. “Here’s why I’m going to say I feel he’s an elite quarterback: he comes through in the clutch and for me that’s big.”
