Divisional Round is the best sports weekend of the year

This is my favorite sports weekend of the year. Because in Wild Card weekend, sometimes you have, you get some lopsided matchups. Divisional round, you get the prestigious teams, you get the elite teams.

This is an inherently subjective opinion about personal preference.

Dion Sanders to the Cowboys would be an incredible story for the NFL

I want it because it would be just an incredible story for the NFL. Having Dion in the NFL, especially for the Dallas Cowboys, would be awesome. I wanna see Dion interacting with Jerry Jones... Dion will not be pushed around by Jerry Jones.

The entertainment value is subjective, though Dion did not become the head coach in early 2025.

If you think Justin Herbert is a bad quarterback, I question whether or not you watch football

I mean, if you really think that Justin Herbert is a bad quarterback, I question whether or not you watch football. I do.

Herbert's quality is a matter of ongoing debate, making this subjective.

Patrick Mahomes is basically lights out in the Divisional Round

He plays in this divisional round and he's basically just, he's, I mean he's undefeated. He lights out. That's just what happens. He is six and oh. He has 1,813 total yards, 16 touchdowns... zero interceptions.

Mahomes was 6-0 in divisional games prior to 2025. In the 2025 divisional round, the Chiefs beat the Texans, making him 7-0.

Travis Kelce ramps it up in the playoffs compared to the regular season

I do think this is where Travis Kelce ramps it up. Like, I like his over yards. I think this is, he, he, he plays in second gear for the majority of the regular season. And then when you get to these points... it's Travis Kelce or Mahomes using his feet.

Kelce historically has higher output in the playoffs, though this specific game's stats would be needed to verify for the 2025 divisional round.

If the Commanders keep the Lions game within one score in the 4th quarter, they will win

If we can keep it within a score, Jaden Daniels can go out there and win the game. And the Lions' buttholes might get tight.

The outcome of the Lions vs. Commanders 2025 divisional game will determine this.

Vic Fangio will dial up something to stifle the Rams offense

I think Vic Fangio is gonna have, he's gonna dial some shit up. Stafford, older, doesn't play well in cold weather. I think Vic Fangio is gonna have, he's gonna dial some shit up.

Outcome of the Rams-Eagles divisional game will determine correctness.

Lamar Jackson may struggle because he doesn't like the cold

Coldest game that Lamar Jackson's ever played. Guess what it was? 27. This is eight degrees is very different from 27. Lamar, in their earlier matchup this season, the temperature was like 60 and he was wearing a hoodie and a beanie for it. I don't know that Lamar loves the cold.

Lamar's performance in the 8-degree Buffalo game will determine this.

The path for the Texans to stay close is containing Patrick Mahomes' scrambles

The path is if they can take care of the Mahomes scrambles, which they didn't in that first game that killed 'em. They can keep it closer.

If Houston stayed close by limiting scrambles, this is correct. However, the Chiefs won 24-17 in reality.

Sean McVay is one of the best coaches of our generation

I think Sean McVay is a wizard. I really do. I think Sean McVay is one of the best coaches of our generation. I think he is that good.

This is a subjective assessment of a coach's legacy.

Betting Buffalo +1.5 at home is the move

I'm probably gonna, you know, I'm inevitably gonna bet Buffalo. Just do it. Blood oath. We're gonna bet Buffalo.

The Bills vs. Ravens divisional game result will determine if the +1.5 bet hits.

Kellen Moore and Dion Sanders are square in contention for the Cowboys job

Kellen Moore is a logical name because he fits there... Dion Sanders, if that's the way Jerry wants to go, square in contention. I would just say Kellen Moore square in contention, Dion Sanders, if that's the way Jerry wants to go, square in contention.

As of early 2025, neither was hired for the role, though the reporting on their 'contention' is what's being claimed.

Ben Johnson is definitely taking a head coaching job this year

I don't see it this year. I don't see it. Ben Johnson has turned down two years of opportunities... at some point you have to take the plunge. The money is too great, the opportunities are too great... I believe he's taking a head coaching job this year.

Will be resolved by the end of the 2025 coaching cycle.
