Max Homa teases former NFL QB while getting his ‘bet’ sorted for the weekend

American professional golfer Max Homa recently had a lighthearted conversation with former National Football League quarterback and current American football analyst Dan Orlovsky on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Orlovsky tweeted he was on a train and had 45 minutes to answer questions about the NFL season.

This tweet from the former Detroit Lions player was met with many questions from NFL fans. One such man who asked Orlovsky a question was Homa. In his tweet, the six-time PGA Tour winner asked Orlovsky a question about the "Pick'em League", the official predictor game of the NFL.

"If a train is going 60 MPH and u have 45 mins to answer questions, who should I bet this week in my pick em league?" Max Homa wrote.

Homa's question was answered by Orlovsky, who asked the golfer to pick the Texans and UConn. He hasn't indulged in the world of the NFL for the first time. Previously, as well, the American golfer had used an NFL reference to question Scottie Scheffler's lead at the Tour Championship.

Also, apart from using an NFL reference, in an interview with Brad Galli in 2022, Homa revealed he became a part-time fan of the Detroit Lions after the NFL team acquired Jared Goff. He shared he was friends with the American quarterback.
