NFL legend Tom Brady and Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud have made friendly bets ahead of Michigan’s game against Ohio State.
The upcoming Michigan vs. Ohio State game has been getting a lot of attention lately. New England Patriots legend Tom Brady and Houston Texans rookie C.J. Stroud — two quarterbacks from two different eras — are having fun.
Tom Brady hosts CJ Stroud’s “Let’s Go!” Wednesday podcast. According to SI.com’s Caleb Skinner, Brady initiated a friendly bet with Stroud when their conversation revolved around Michigan’s game against Ohio State, and the stakes were high.
“If Ohio State wins… you get one of my Super Bowl rings. If Michigan beats Ohio State, then you get to put all your youth, your quickness, your time in the 40-yard dash and Trust me with all your future years in the NFL. “How about that? ” Tom Brady said.
“That’s a bet,” C.J. Stroud replied.

Tom Brady is about to win his Super Bowl ring
Michigan State football and Ohio State football will face off in the regular season finale over Thanksgiving weekend. Michigan State is looking for revenge after losing its last two games against Big Ten opponents. There’s more than just pride involved here — we’re talking about two undefeated programs on a potential collision course in the College Football Playoff.
If the Ohio State football team wins, C.J. Stroud will receive one of Tom Brady’s six Super Bowl rings. It makes one wonder why Brady would risk one of his most prized awards on a rookie.
Well, CJ Stroud is no ordinary rookie. He led the Texans to two straight wins. Stroud threw for 470 yards, five touchdowns and zero picks in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
CJ Stroud passed for 2,626 yards, 15 touchdowns, and just 2 interceptions in his first 9 NFL games. Stroud’s stellar performance at center caught the attention of Hall of Famer Warren Moon.
Apparently, Tom Brady also noticed C.J. Stroud’s outstanding quarterback performance. Let’s see how the stakes of their friendship pan out.
