The Bengals are one of the best teams in the AFC but will probably miss the playoffs

I'm walking away from this Bengals game and I'm thinking the Bengals are one of the best teams in the AFC. And they're probably not gonna make the playoffs.

The Bengals fell to 4-7 following another close loss in Week 11, making their playoff path nearly impossible.

Justin Tucker is officially washed

Lamar finds a way there. Justin Tucker. Wash this. It feels like the Ravens might be destined to get into a close playoff game... and to get out kicked. I hope that's not the case, but there's something up with Justin Tucker.

Tucker has struggled significantly in 2024, posting the worst field goal percentage of his career and missing multiple high-leverage kicks.

The Giants will win the international game in Germany against the Panthers

I actually think the Giants are gonna win. Do you know the Giants are leading the league in Sacks? 35. Their defensive line is very good... I like the Giants in this game just because I'm gonna bet it because it's gonna be on.

The Panthers defeated the Giants 20-17 in overtime in Germany on November 10, 2024.

Ben Johnson will not take the Bears head coaching job

[Schefter] said that Ben Johnson is, if he's like, if there's eight interview openings, Ben Johnson will not talk to all eight. Whoever he talks to is someone that he's expecting to take the job essentially saying he's not gonna go to the Bears.

Pending the end of the 2024 season and the hiring cycle.

I'm betting big on the Patriots to cover +6 against the Bears

I'm going to bet this will not be in the Hungry Dog. I'm going to place a large... I'm going to bet Big Patriots plus six. Because then I think the Patriots can keep it close. Cover that.

The Patriots didn't just cover; they won the game outright 19-3.

I'm betting on the Saints because Darren Rizzi's ears make him an interesting interim coach

Darren Rizzi's ears are fucked up. I don't know what the fuck is going on with his ears. No offense to his ears... It looks like he was wearing sunglasses made out of tungsten... I like that he's got bad ears. It makes it more interesting. Yeah, I like him. I'm gonna take the Saints.

The Saints won their first game under Rizzi, defeating the Falcons 20-17.

Whichever team wins the Steelers-Commanders game will win their division

Whichever team wins this game, I think that team is gonna win their division. I think they could maybe be thinking soupy [Super Bowl].

The Steelers won the game. As of Week 11, the Steelers lead the AFC North, and while the Commanders lost, both remain in high contention for their divisions.

Saquon Barkley will rush for 200 yards against the Cowboys

I've been saying everywhere that Saquon's gonna run for 200 yards. 'cause it, I mean, the Cowboys can't stop the run and it's just gonna be bully ball by the, by the Eagles.

Saquon Barkley rushed for 66 yards on 14 carries in the Eagles' 34-6 win over the Cowboys.

Villanova head coach Kyle Neptune is a worse coach than Nick Sirianni

I will not say a bad word about Nick Sirianni for the rest of the year... You don't have to watch Kyle Neptune coach basketball. [He is worse than Sirianni] without question. They lose to everyone. He has more... seven [losses to teams above 100 on KenPom] to two for four times as many years.

This is a subjective comparison between a college basketball coach and an NFL coach, though Villanova's loss to Columbia supports Max's frustration.

Aaron Rodgers is currently top five in every major passing statistical category

Aaron Rodgers still top five in everything right now... touchdowns top five... yards top five... [I must have looked at it before they updated it].

At the time of the claim, Rodgers was not top 5 in yards, touchdowns, completion percentage, or QBR.

The NFL is entirely a quarterback-driven league

I was asked in a press conference a couple years ago... what's the big difference between you guys and the other three teams in your division? My answer was quarterback... I asked the same question the other day to a group of people. What's the difference between Washington right now and Washington I had? Well, they got quarterback. It's a quarterback driven league, folks.

Generally accepted as the foundational truth of the modern NFL.

I am betting against LSU because they are using a fake Mike the Tiger on the sidelines

It appears that they are now bringing a tiger back onto their sidelines... it seems like it might be a fake mike, the tiger that they're putting on the sidelines, because people took pictures... and they compared the stripes and they think that it's a duplicate Mike. It's a fake Mike the tiger... in which case I am going to be betting against LSU.

Alabama crushed LSU 42-13. PFT's 'vibes' bet was correct.
