The Falcons have become the new Seattle Seahawks

The Falcons have become the Seahawks. Everything that the Seahawks have been for the last 10 years, I feel like that's, it's just utter chaos. Anytime the Falcons take the field, their last four games have been all insane.

The Falcons did have a string of extremely close games early in the 2024 season, including two one-point games and an overtime win.

Mike Evans is a lock for the Hall of Fame and could finish top five all-time in touchdowns

Mike Evans... is gonna go down like top five six in touchdowns and receiving yards. He's just so consistently awesome. Mike Evans deserves all the credit in that respect.

Evans hit 100 TDs in this game. To reach the top 5, he needs 129 (currently Marvin Harrison is 5th at 128). He is on pace to get close if he plays 3-4 more years.

Pete Alonso will definitely be back with the Mets next year after his heroics

[Pete Alonso] strikes out there and he's definitely not a Met next year. And now I feel like you can't, you have to give him all the money.

Alonso is a free agent following the 2024 season. His future with the team remains undetermined until the offseason.

The Phillies will lose to the Mets in five games

I mean, it's, it's going to go five. The Phillies are gonna go up 2-1. I'm going be comfortable... then the Mets are gonna have a heroic comeback in game four and then game five, they're just gonna smoke us and it's gonna be, it'll be like 4-0 Mets in game five. That's how it's gonna go.

The Mets did win the series 3-1, not in 5 games, so Max's specific scenario of a Game 5 blowout was incorrect, though he correctly predicted the Phillies losing.

October is the clear 1.1 pick for best sports month

I'll take October first... October's one one... October's so good. October has, I've become everything. I've become more of an October boy.

This is entirely subjective.

The Vikings are the best team in the NFL

The Vikings are the best team in the NFL... Sam Darnold potential revenge game. Even though we already had it one time. But it's a bounce back. There won't be any rain.

The Vikings started 5-0 and were widely considered a top-tier team, though they later lost back-to-back games, losing the title of undisputed 'best.'

Justin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the league and it's not close

Justin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the league and it's not close. I agree. I know that not close is a stupid thing to say. He has scored in every single game this year. He's so goddamn good that it's, to me it's not close right now.

This is subjective, but Jefferson leads most statistical categories and expert rankings.

Derrick Henry might be the last running back to reach 10,000 career yards

Derrick Henry is 17, 18 yards away from 10,000 yards. He could be the last running back we see get 10,000 yards... Jonathan Taylor... is halfway there... but it's nuts to look at and realize that Derrick Henry... might not see a lot of 10,000 yards guys, you know, ever again.

Derrick Henry did hit 10k yards later this week. Whether he's the 'last' is a long-term projection that will take years to verify.

Doug Pederson will be fired mid-season by the Jaguars

I do think that Doug is gonna be gone during the season. I think he might be a mid-season firing then.

As of mid-November, Doug Pederson remains the coach, although the team continues to struggle.

The Bears season is over if they go worse than 3-2 in their next five games

The Bears next five games... If they go four in one, it's playoffs. If they go three and two, it's maybe playoffs... Anything worse than three and two? It's on to next year.

The Bears went 2-3 in their next five games (Wins vs Panthers, Jaguars; Losses vs Commanders, Cardinals, Patriots). Based on Big Cat's criteria, the season is officially 'on to next year.'

The Dolphins should start tanking for the #1 overall pick

The only team that I could say confidently that should tank as of right now is Miami Dolphins. Yeah. I think that's the only team I would say you should tank. 'cause you're gonna need a sit... because Tua, you can't, you can't say that he's gonna go through a whole season.

The Dolphins did not tank; they welcomed Tua back and continued to try and win games.

I want to play in the NFL until I'm 45

I wanna play as long as I possibly can... at 45 [my kids] would be in high school. I, I'd love to say I'd still be playing at that point. But, you know, the situation might have to be exactly right.

Flacco is currently 39. Whether he plays until 45 is a long-term prediction.

Wearing all-black uniforms at night in Baltimore provides an extra confidence boost

There was something about it, man, when you showed up, when you had the black jersey in your locker and it was a big game. You're like, it gave you that little extra like, nudge of confidence... we're definitely winning.

Flacco is describing his personal feeling and team sentiment, which is an internal 'truth' for him.
