The Raiders were smart to win rather than tie because they have a better chance against the Bengals than the Chiefs

On just a level for the Raiders, it was smart to go for the win. Once they're in that spot at the end of the game... if you let the Chargers in, you have to go play the Chiefs, right? Where now you get to go play the Bengals. I mean, the Bengals are better than the Raiders, but they have a lot better of a chance against the Bengals than they have against the Chiefs who has had their number and kick their ass this year.

The Raiders did play the Bengals and lost 26-19 in a close game, while the Chiefs blew out the Steelers 42-21 in the same round, supporting the idea that the Bengals were a more manageable opponent.

This was the best Week 18 in the history of the NFL

I'm just going to say that was the best Week 18 in the history of the NFL. It came right down to the last game of the last week. Congratulations, Roger Goodell. You've done it again.

This was only the first year of the 17-game schedule (Week 18), so technically it was the best by default, though it was genuinely highly dramatic.

Brandon Staley's decision to go for it on 4th and 1 from his own 18-yard line was absolutely insane

Brandon Staley living and dying by going forward on fourth down... the Raiders were up three and Brandon Staley went forward on fourth and one on his own 20... It was 17-14. They went for it on fourth and one at their own 18 with 8:57 left in the third quarter. That's how crazy he is guys. Fucking crazy.

The decision was widely criticized as the Raiders scored shortly after, and the Chargers ultimately lost the game and missed the playoffs.

The Patriots are ready to face the Bills and should face them head-on

I've never been more ready for anything in my life... why wait? You know, the bills are the better team they're favored all that shit. They're at home, but this is what you want. Why run? Why not just face it head on.

The Patriots were absolutely demolished by the Bills 47-17 in the Wild Card round, making this confidence look misplaced.

George Kittle is the lock for the Nickelodeon MVP (NVP)

It's gotta be Kittle. We gotta keep it in the family. Kittle would be nice. You have to keep it in the, I think that's the only answer. It's Kittle. It's Kittle no matter what... Congratulations to George Kittle. If there is a fan vote, he has won MVP.

Dak Prescott actually won the NVP for the 49ers vs Cowboys game, despite the Cowboys losing.

Jaguars fans should keep wearing clown outfits because they are undefeated as clowns

You also got to keep wearing clown outfits. I think if you're Jags fans, right? You're undefeated as the clowns. Yes. You are the clowns. Change the team name to the clowns.

The Jaguars did not change their name to the Clowns, though they did find more success in the following season after firing Urban Meyer.

Joe Judge has done everything in his power to get himself fired since being told he was staying

Joe Judge was told that he was going to keep his job on December 26... after that moment, he lost a combined 85 to 20 in the three games... he did a QB sneak from the three yard line and the four yard line on second and 10 and third and nine because he was too scared about giving up a safety. I have never seen someone be told that they're going to get to keep their job and done everything in their power to try to have them reverse that decision.

Joe Judge was indeed fired by the Giants on January 11, 2022, just one day after this podcast aired, proving the decision-making was fatal to his tenure.

Kirk Cousins needs to play worse to help his team win

Kirk Cousins is without a doubt like top 10, maybe top 5 guy in some of those [stat] categories. I think I figured out his problem though, because they lost a lot of games where he played well, statistically. Well, I think he's just too good. And I think that he scores too fast sometimes, and then puts his defense in a position to lose. Kirk needs to get a little bit worse at playing if he wants to be truly good.

The take is satirical and inherently illogical, meant to mock stat-based arguments in football.

Matt Stafford will throw a critical interception that ends the Rams' season

But he's just, you know what I mean? Like that feeling of, well, this is like, there'll be a moment and he will make sure that he throws an interception in that moment. That critical moment. And then your season's over.

This turned out to be famously incorrect as Stafford led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory that same postseason, making several clutch plays without a season-ending mistake.

Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson will both return to the Seahawks next year

I now think that both Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson will come back next year. Why not? I think they're going to, I think they're going to run it back... Getting a quarterback as good as Russell Wilson is very tough to do in this league. I would say it's very tough. Getting a coach like Pete Carroll is tough to do in this league. Why don't we just try to give it another shot?

This was only partially correct; Pete Carroll stayed, but Russell Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos in March 2022.

The Saints would have been the one seed if Jameis Winston hadn't gotten injured

The real question is do the saints get the one seed overall if Jameis Winston doesn't get injured. [PFT: Yes.] I think definitely. I think definitely.

The Saints were 5-2 when Jameis got hurt and finished 9-8. While plausible, it's impossible to verify.

Alabama will beat Georgia 30-21 in the National Championship

The final score was 30 to 21, Alabama. So I'm going to bet that exact same. I'm going to bet that kind of the spread at an alternate line... I feel good about it. I don't know if I can trust my own brain sometimes, but I feel like when I turned my brain off, that's when I do my best thing.

Georgia won the game 33-18. PFT's dream was incorrect on both the winner and the score.

Georgia -2.5 is my Game of the Year for the National Championship

2022 is going to be the year of game of the years. I'm just saying it right now. Georgia minus two and a half. I've decided this breaking news game of the year.

Georgia won 33-18, easily covering the -2.5 spread.
