The Patriots will round into form and flip a switch halfway through the season

I do think the Patriots are going to round into form. Now they have - clearly the Bills are the best team in the AFC East. But I do think the Patriots are going to be one of those teams where halfway through the season, everyone will be like, wait, this team, why are they getting points on the road? Why are people doubting them? Like they're going to flip a switch and everything's going to start kind of working a little bit.

The Patriots went on a 7-game winning streak from Week 7 to Week 13, effectively flipping the switch as predicted.

Taylor Heinicke is a young Ryan Fitzpatrick

Taylor Heinicke is just a young Ryan Fitzpatrick because he's fucking psycho. He doesn't play by any of the rules... He loves throwing across his body. He loves throwing across the field. He loves almost getting sacked. It's crazy.

This is a subjective comparison of playstyles, though Heinicke did sustain a similar 'journeyman backup with high variance' career path.

I am all the way back on Daniel Jones and the Giants might be good

I'm all the way back on Danny Dimes... Something about that game was incredible. He was like, there are so many times where I'm like Danny Dimes is going to throw a pick, Danny Dimes is going to fumble. He was awesome today. Saquon Barkley was awesome. The Giants, I now think the Giants might be good and it's a sickness of mine.

The Giants finished 4-13 in 2021, and Daniel Jones struggled with injuries and performance. They were definitely not 'good'.

Trevon Diggs should be in the MVP discussion and is the Defensive Player of the Year

I think that Trevon Diggs, if the season ended today, should get credit and consideration for MVP. Five interceptions in four games... He is the defensive player of the year right now, and he should be in the MVP discussion. At least he's really, really good.

Diggs finished with 11 interceptions and was 1st Team All-Pro, but TJ Watt won DPOTY. No defensive player received an MVP vote in 2021.

The Cowboys are better than the Packers

I think the Cowboys are better than you think they are. I think they're better than the Packers... Right now, I think they're better than Packers. Complete team.

Both teams finished with 12+ wins, but the Packers had the #1 seed. Subjective, but debatable.

The Vikings will finish 8-9 and are the new version of the San Diego Chargers

I think maybe the Vikings are going to take the place of the Philip Rivers San Diego Chargers... It's always going to come down to the last possession... They'll finish like eight and nine and be like, alright, well, they could have finished 14 and three or they could have finished three and 14.

The Vikings finished exactly 8-9 in 2021, and 14 of their 17 games were decided by one score.

The Chiefs' shovel pass will get intercepted on a primetime game soon

I'm calling my shot. Like on a Sunday night, Monday night game, they're going to do the shovel pass and someone's going to intercept it... I think that's going to get blown up at some point and everyone's gonna be like, oh, look at them. They're trying to get too cute with it.

While Mahomes has had interceptions on varied throws, the specific 'shovel pass interception in primetime' didn't become a defining blunder this season.

The Jets will shellack the Falcons in London

I actually, this may be over, you know, can over-confident but I think they're going to shellack the Falcons in London.

The Falcons beat the Jets 27-20 in London on October 10, 2021.

The Colts will win the AFC South

I think the Colts are gonna probably win the AFC South and I'm going to have to sweat out this pinky... the Colts are better than they've looked and today they finally looked halfway decent and they're going to start rounding into shape.

The Titans won the AFC South with a 12-5 record. The Colts finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs.

The Bills are the prohibitive favorites for the AFC if they beat the Chiefs next week

I'm so excited for next Sunday night because the Bills, if the Bills win in Kansas city next Sunday night, like they are the prohibitive favorites to win the AFC championship.

The Bills did beat the Chiefs in the regular season (38-20) and became favorites, but they famously lost to the Chiefs in the divisional round (13 seconds game).

Ben Roethlisberger might retire in the middle of the season

I really think Big Ben might just - he should just retire halfway through... I'm going to say it right now. I think it's bad, man. It's bad... I don't want to watch you every Sunday. Depressing. It's depressing.

Roethlisberger played the entire season and led the Steelers to the playoffs before retiring after the season.

Larry Fitzgerald will come back later this year and play for the Cardinals

I do think that [Larry Fitzgerald] is going to come back later on this year and play on the Cardinals... especially if there's an injury.

Larry Fitzgerald never played another NFL game after the 2020 season.

Urban Meyer's wife sent him to the bar to get his charisma back

I think Shelly Meyer might win wife of the year... led me to believe that she was like, 'Urban, go out and remember why you're Urban Meyer. Go out and hit on some chicks and get that swagger back. Get that charisma back. Get that fucking confidence back.' I think she actually sent him out to be like, go out, pick up a chick. Don't have sex with her, but pick her up and remind yourself why you're the alpha.

This is a satirical theory about Meyer's personal life that cannot be verified, but it captures the PMT style of humor perfectly.
