Joe Flacco will eventually play for the Steelers because Mike Tomlin respects him so much

I think one day [Joe Flacco] is gonna end up playing for the Steelers. Because Mike Tomlin absolutely hates Joe Flacco. He respects him and he hates playing against him.

This is a long-term career prediction for Flacco.

The Bengals will finish the season 10-7

If they beat the Jets and the Bears... that would make 'em six and seven. Then they beat the Dolphins, Cardinals and Browns to finish the season. By my math, that's 10 and seven.

The outcome is pending the end of the 2025 NFL season.

The Dodgers are going to beat the fuck out of every other team in the playoffs

I think the Dodgers are gonna beat the fuck out of every other team and it's not even gonna be close.

The Dodgers won the 2024 World Series, though this episode seems to be set in a fictionalized 2025.

The Bears vs. Saints game is a Must Win

The Bears are right now, what is it? Four and a half point favorites. This is a game that the Bears have to win. I'm dubbing it a Must Win because the Bears are, you'd think better than the Saints.

Outcome of the specific game will determine if the 'must win' was satisfied.

Spencer Rattler has a future as a starting quarterback in the NFL

Do you think that Spencer Rattler has a future as a starting quarterback in this league? I think he might. And I feel strong about maybe.

This is a career-trajectory opinion that requires long-term observation.

The Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl

Raiders Chiefs, Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. Chiefs are minus 11 and a half... Their offense is humming.

Requires the outcome of Super Bowl LX.

If the Eagles lose to the Vikings, their season is dead

This is the do or die game. If you lose third week in a row, to Carson Wentz... if they lose this game, I think it comes crumbling down.

The 'death' of a season is subjective, but losing to the Vikings would confirm the spiraling trend.

I'm starting to believe in the Falcons

I think I'm starting to believe in the Falcons. Are you ready to do that with me? I like 'em man. I like 'em.

The Falcons' performance through the rest of the season will determine if this belief was justified.

Baker Mayfield would be the NFL MVP if the season ended today

We were on that Fox show and they asked me who I thought the MVP would be and I said, if we did it today, it'd be Baker. And I just compare him to Brett Favre when we were in Green Bay. He brought life to the huddle.

Subjective mid-season evaluation.

Ty Simpson could win the Heisman Trophy this year

Ty Simpson could win the Heisman Trophy this year. He's not making everyday throws now. He's pushing it down the field. He's getting outta trouble. He's got a soul about it, man.

Will be resolved when the 2025 Heisman winner is announced.

The Steelers have arguably the best fourth-quarter pass rush in the NFL

The Pittsburgh Steelers are another team that I'm really excited about. I think they have arguably the best fourth quarter pass rush. They got three ends that can kick your ass.

This is a subjective evaluation of a specific unit's performance.
