The Chiefs are all the way back

The chiefs are all the way back in the chargers. Suck. My homes looked bad for the majority of the night until he kind of picked it up at the end of the game. But this was obviously very consequential for the AFC west and the NFL and the seatings in the AFC.

The Chiefs finished 12-5, won the AFC West, and reached the AFC Championship game.

The conversion rate of fourth downs will decrease as defenses get used to teams going for it more often

Will the chances of converting [fourth down] decrease as defenses are used to you going forward on fourth down. It used to be you would go for it on fourth down, maybe once a game, maybe that was your best play in your playbook. Now you go forward on fourth, down four times a game. It has to, it can't be as high of a percentage like it's going to decrease. Eventually.

This is a long-term league-wide trend prediction that is difficult to definitively prove, but overall 4th down conversion rates have remained relatively stable despite higher volume.

The NFL intentionally screws over non-winning fanbases like the Browns and Lions

The Browns and the lions or the say, well, I guess you could throw in the saints and the Patriots too, for other reasons. But the Browns Alliance non-winning fan bases. They get screwed by the NFL. Feels like an inordinate amount of time. It feels like the NFL essentially says, oh, well, it's the Browns who cares? Like they, like, what is a bunch of people from Cleveland going to complain?

This is an opinion on league bias against struggling franchises.

The Jaguars will play the game of their season to honor Urban Meyer

I think the Jaguars is going to play the game of their season so far. They're going to go out there and set the world on fire for urban Meyer because they miss their guy... circle the wagons be like, we're rallying in the name of urban Meyer.

The Jaguars lost 30-16 to the Houston Texans in their first game post-Meyer, arguably their worst loss of the season given the opponent.

Urban Meyer will be back on Big Noon Kickoff within a year and win another college title in three years

Everyone should be ready for this urban Meyer sliding back into that desk on the Fox, big noon kickoff. I don't even know, might even be as early as this year if they have a bowl game. Pre-show but that will happen. And in like three years, he'll be linked to some big time job. Probably go take it, win a national title, and this will all be like, oh, remember when urban Meyer coach the Jaguars for 15 games.

Meyer did return to Fox's Big Noon Kickoff in 2022. However, he has not coached another college team or won a title since.

The Buccaneers will beat the Saints by 100 on Sunday Night Football

The saints have owned Tom Brady, but the saints have taste them hill. Now I don't, I really am not like excited for this game... Tom Brady feels like he's going to break another record. And the bucks are to win by a hundred. My favorite is the Buccaneers minus 10 and a half.

The Saints shut out the Buccaneers 9-0 in one of the most surprising upsets of the season.

The Cardinals will take out all their anger from last week and blow out the Lions

I'm going to take Arizona Cardinals minus 13 at Detroit get right game. I just don't. I know Deandre Hopkins out for the rest of the season. I just don't know how the lions secondary can hold up on Kyler. I feel like this will be like the Cardinals will take out all their anger from last week to this week.

In one of the biggest shocks of the 2021 season, the 1-11-1 Lions dominated the Cardinals 30-12.

Josh Allen is the quarterback who gets screwed over most by the referees

Number one quarterback in the entire league [for coverage penalties bailing them out]... It's Aaron Rogers by a long shot. Last place in the entirely... Josh Allen it's Josh Allen gets fucked more than any other quarterback in the NFL. And Aaron Rogers gets bailed out all the time.

The stat itself was accurate for that specific timeframe in the 2021 season.

Travis Hunter will not be the only five-star recruit to join an HBCU

I liked it as well stated. And I don't think he's [Travis Hunter] going to be by himself. I'm just telling you that he's not going to be alone. I promise you. He is not going to be alone. You're going to hear about that real soon.

While several high-profile recruits did follow Deion to Jackson State (like Kevin Coleman), the movement largely slowed down once Deion moved to Colorado, with Hunter also transferring there.

Jackson State is unstoppable and will cover -10.5 in the Celebration Bowl

They're sweeping. They swept through the flack. They're fucking unstoppable... My game of the year... officially my HBCU game of the year Jackson state minus 10 and a half Saturday afternoon.

Jackson State lost the Celebration Bowl 31-10 to South Carolina State, failing to cover and losing outright.
