The Saints will beat the Cardinals 23-17

I'm gonna say Saints 23, Cardinals 17.

The Cardinals won 42-34, which is significantly different from the predicted low-scoring Saints win.

Being LeBron James' teammate is the most difficult job in the world

Being LeBron's teammate has to be like the most difficult job in the world. Not on the court because LeBron is obviously one of the best all time on the court... But it's, every time you lose, it's someone else's fault. Every time you win, it's, LeBron did it.

This is a subjective assessment of team dynamics and media perception.

The Jaguars being 3-point favorites over the Giants is a trap line

Take the Jaguars minus three, the line makes no sense. Yep. Yep. Zero sense whatsoever. That's Vegas being like, take the Giants, they want you to take the giants, which means the jaguar's gonna win win handily. Don't fall for the trap. Take the jaguars.

The Giants won the game 23-17, meaning the 'trap' line was actually just a bad line or an incorrect assessment of the Giants' quality.

The Jaguars have never had a good tight end in their franchise history

I don't think the Jaguars have ever had a good tight end ever. Yeah. Like Mercedes Lewis. Lewis is the only one I could think of. But when he was on the Jaguars, I think he was just mostly a blocking tight end... The Jaguars have never had a good tight end ever.

Marcedes Lewis had 700 yards and 10 TDs in 2010, which constitutes a 'good' season, though the overall history is indeed thin.

I will buy Colts season tickets if Jim Irsay forces Dan Snyder to sell the Commanders

I've decided, you know, we talked about like, I would become a Colts fan if Jim Irsay was the straw that broke the camel's back. Yep. I'm gonna buy season tickets to the Colts next year. Wow. If, if, if Jim Irsay can get down out the fuck out, I'm gonna be a Colts season ticket holder.

Dan Snyder did sell the team in 2023, but PFT did not visibly become a Colts season ticket holder or change his primary fandom.

The Packers will have a statement win and run up the score against the Commanders

I do think the Packers are gonna use statement when they're gonna run up the score. It's gonna be one of those things. If it's like close, they're not gonna let up. They're just gonna keep running it up.

The Commanders beat the Packers 23-21.

The winner of Titans vs. Colts will win the AFC South

I think if the Titans win this game, I'm ready to declare the Titans the winner that division... I'm ready. Whoever wins this game will win this division.

The Titans won the game, but the Jacksonville Jaguars eventually won the AFC South title that season.

The MLB Division Series is too short and should be seven games

I think the division series is too short though. Ooh, I don't understand. I don't understand why you play 162 and then it's gotta be five games. I think the, the better team would win out more often in a seven game series.

This is a subjective opinion on playoff structure.

Yordan Alvarez is the best hitter I have ever had to scout

We've faced Yordan [Alvarez] this year. He was, he's the best hitter I've ever had to advance scout. Whoa. I'm talking about covering all the pitches, hitting lefties, everything. He's the best hitter I've ever had to had to scout.

This is Haren's expert opinion based on his scouting experience.

The Titans will beat the Colts in a low-scoring game

Titans. It's easier to pronounce... I think it's gonna be quite a low score.

The Titans beat the Colts 19-10. This was both a Titans win and a low-scoring game (Under).

Modern truck auto-stop engine technology is dangerous and poorly designed

Every time you stop, it'll go to a full stop, the engine turns off... The thing is the car has to turn off and start back up again. And if people know, like the more miles you get on a truck, the more times you start a truck, the engine's gotta turn over... It happened to me in a busy ass intersection and I couldn't get the truck back started... putting people like myself in danger.

This is a subjective complaint based on a personal mechanical failure, though the technology is a common point of frustration for many drivers.
