The verbs guess and feel are used to express opinions in a less definite way.
In these cases, the Present Simple tense is used instead of the Present Continuous tense because guess and feel are stative verbs, which describe states of mind rather than actions. That's why we say I guess and I feel, not I'm guessing or I'm feeling when expressing opinions.
To guess means to assume or conclude something without being completely certain, whereas to feel expresses personal opinions or emotions. For example:
I guess he'll be late because of traffic. - This means the speaker assumes he will be late but is not sure.
I feel that this decision is the best for the team. - This means the speaker believes this is the right choice.
