The Chargers have a stranglehold on a playoff spot over the Chiefs

The Chargers winning means that if they just win one single game, which would be week 18 against the Broncos... they would get in over the Chiefs. The Chiefs have a path now that is very, very precarious and the Chargers feel like they have a stranglehold on getting into the playoffs.

This prediction relies on the specific results of the 2025 NFL season which are outside the current timeline.

The Eagles season is dead

This team is dead... Nothing will save this team. The only good thing about this team is that Kevin Patullo will get fired. We'll hire a new offensive coordinator and make the Super Bowl next year. Because it's just a cycle for the Eagles right now.

The Eagles are still in the playoff hunt according to the hosts, and the 2026 Super Bowl result is pending.

JMU making the CFP will force a rule change to ensure it never happens again

JMU getting into this playoff, they will rewrite the rules for the playoffs. So this never happens again. And you'll be fine... But they're very upset that the ACC did not advocate strongly for Notre Dame.

Rule changes for the 12 or 14-team playoff often follow controversial seedings.

JMU is not one of the best 12 teams in the country

I'm not saying JMU is one of the best 12 teams in the country. I think that that would be an insane take to have. I'm just pumped that we're in it.

Ranking 'best' teams is subjective, but PFT is admitting they aren't Top 12 quality.

Colts GM Chris Ballard is on the hot seat because he hasn't won the division in nine years

My Hot Seat is Chris Ballard. I'm gonna put him back on the Hot Seat. The GM for the Colts... has been the GM for the Colts since 2017, nine years. He has never won the AFC South.

Chris Ballard took over in 2017 and as of 2025, the Colts have not won the AFC South.

Alabama is capable of winning the National Championship this year

Can [Alabama] win a championship? I think yes, they can. Every team that's made the playoffs, they're deserving of it and they have an opportunity to win it. You just gotta go out and make the plays you need to make to win.

The outcome of the CFP for the 2025 season is pending.

I would rather have the Eagles lose in the first round than miss the playoffs

I want to get a first round blowout so that next year could be Super Bowl... Preferably by the Bucs, but I don't think it is possible to play the Bucs in the first round.

This is a subjective preference about playoff results and future Super Bowl cycles.

The AFC is wide open this year

This is the most wide open AFC... You're only scary teams are the Chiefs and the Ravens... It is not a gauntlet.

The competitiveness of a conference is subjective, though result-based analysis can support it later.
