If Tom Brady wins on the road Sunday, he will tie Mark Sanchez for road playoff wins

If Tom Brady wins on Sunday in Kansas City, he will finally tie Mark Sanchez for road playoff wins. That is elite company. The elitist.

Entering the 2018 AFC Championship, Mark Sanchez had 4 road playoff wins. Brady had 3. Brady won that game, tying Sanchez at 4.

Patrick Mahomes has to play a perfect game for the Chiefs to win

[Mahomes] has to basically play his perfect game for the Chiefs to win, and I don't think he's going to play his perfect game... Patrick Mahomes is going to throw an interception that everyone's going to be like, what was that?

Mahomes didn't throw a 'what was that' interception, but the Chiefs lost 37-31. He was very good but Belichick's defense held them scoreless in the first half.

I'm taking the under 56 in the Patriots-Chiefs game

I'm going to take the under, 56... I like the under because I also think the Patriots are going to basically say, Patrick Mahomes, go ahead, beat us. Not with Tyreek Hill going down with an 80-yard touchdown. Beat us completing passes over and over down the field.

The final score was 37-31 (68 total points), easily clearing the 56-point total.

The Saints are a team of destiny to win the Super Bowl in Atlanta

Saints, to me, feel like a team of destiny. The destiny word just changed me... It's the ultimate Sean Payton move to go into Atlanta and win a Super Bowl in Atlanta's hometown. Destiny, Dome, Saints.

The Saints lost the NFC Championship to the Rams following a controversial no-call on pass interference.

Both Championship Sunday games cannot go over

Both these games cannot go over. It just can't happen. It's like the championship Sunday... 56-57, take the under in the first game. If it doesn't hit, take the under in the second game. If it does hit, walk away.

The Patriots/Chiefs game went over (68 points), but the Rams/Saints game went under (49 points). His strategy of chasing the under in the second game technically worked.

Prelated is the new word for wishing someone an early birthday

When you want to wish someone a happy early birthday, say happy prelated. Because his birthday is Saturday... People are with people whose birthdays are like the next day, next week, whatever, and you don't want to say happy early birthday.

The word 'prelated' has not entered the common lexicon since Hank's attempt to coin it in 2019.

The Patriots will win at Arrowhead and the Rams will win at New Orleans

I think both games will be lower scoring than expected, and I think both road teams are winning. I think the Rams are going to go in there and pound the Saints on the ground... [and] I think [the Patriots are] winning the game. I think they're going in the Arrowhead and winning.

Both the Patriots and the Rams won their respective road championship games, making Prisco 2-for-2 on bold road winner picks.

Kyler Murray will be drafted after the 10th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft

[Kyler Murray will be drafted] After [the 10th pick]. 20th, 25, somewhere in there... I think, you know, this kid is in the same situation [as Lamar Jackson].

Kyler Murray was drafted 1st overall by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. Prisco was significantly off.

Blake Bortles will be a backup somewhere next season

[Blake Bortles] is gone. They're cutting him... He'll be a backup somewhere... and then get some chance to start eventually.

The Jaguars released Bortles in March 2019, and he signed a one-year contract with the Rams to be Jared Goff's backup.

Kyrie Irving loses his man card for apologizing to LeBron James

Taking [Kyrie Irving's] man card because he apologized. He apologized to LeBron... and then he also told the press all about it and made sure that it was a big deal about how he called and apologized.

Kyrie Irving did publicly apologize to LeBron James in early 2019. Whether this warrants a 'man card' revocation is subjective.

Naming an airport after someone is actually a terrible honor

The fact that the greatest honor is to be named after an airport sucks... Because everybody hates going there. It's the worst place to go to. And you're like, oh, great. This airport's named after you? Awesome. This sucks.

This is an inherently subjective take on the nature of municipal honors.
