The Ravens are a true Super Bowl contender

If the Ravens could ever figure out that step on the throat mentality, they could be a true Super Bowl contender. And this was the first game where it's like they went, you know, playing against a very good Lions team and completely obliterated.

The Ravens went on to secure the #1 seed in the AFC, proving Big Cat's assessment that they were legitimate contenders.

I am betting on Lamar Jackson against the NFC for the rest of my life

Did you know that Lamar is 16 and 1 against the NFC? ... I'm gonna take Lamar against the NFC for the rest of my life. After I heard that stat.

Lamar Jackson continued this trend, maintaining an incredible winning percentage against NFC teams through the 2023 season.

If the Super Bowl were played today, the Ravens would win it

If the Super Bowl were today, the Ravens would win it. I think so. They're our Super Bowl winner of the week.

This is subjective as it's a 'power ranking' style claim, though the Ravens did finish the regular season as the best team.

The Bills are just not a very good football team right now

I think I figured out what's wrong with the Bills. I think they just might not be a very good football team right now. ... they have Josh Allen and Josh Allen kicks ass. But he's not playing his best right now. The defense isn't playing their best right now. I think the Bills just aren't a very good team.

The Bills struggled mid-season but eventually finished 11-6 and won the AFC East, suggesting they were better than 'not very good'.

Deshaun Watson stinks

Deshaun Watson. Should we talk about Deshaun? Yeah, he stinks. He stinks. He stinks. He's, he's pretty bad. And they're paying him $230 million.

Watson's stats in 2023 were indeed pedestrian (7 TDs, 4 INTs, 84.3 rating) before he went on IR.

The Commanders should sell everyone and trade both Chase Young and Montez Sweat

I'm in blow it all up mode. I'm in, I'm in Trade everybody mode. This is a bad team. ... Trade both of 'em now. ... I'm in full tank mode.

The Commanders did trade both Montez Sweat and Chase Young at the deadline a week later.

Tyrod Taylor is statistically better than Daniel Jones

Tyrod Taylor had 279 yards, 9.6 yards per attempt and two touchdowns. Daniel Jones in 59 starts has never in one game gone over all three of those. ... combined.

This specific statistical combination (275+ yards, 9.5+ Y/A, 2+ TDs) was indeed missing from Jones's resume at that point.

Arthur Smith is a top three funniest coach on the sidelines

I think he's pretty close to top three funniest coaches on the sidelines. ... His reactions are so much better this year. It's like him and Pete Carroll. The mustache has done wonders for his slapstick comedy on the sidelines.

Subjective opinion on entertainment value.

The Falcons will make the playoffs

I think the Falcons have a pretty favorable schedule going forward. So the Falcons, I think the Falcons are gonna make the playoffs.

The Falcons finished 7-10 and missed the playoffs.

The Seahawks are a really good team that can compete with anyone in the NFC

I have a take. I think the Seahawks are really fucking good. ... I think the Seahawks a game could compete with anyone in the NFC. They have not played their A game ... I think if they ever come up with their A game, I think they have enough talent on both sides of the ball to compete with everyone.

The Seahawks finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs, failing to really challenge the top tier (Niners/Eagles/Lions) in the NFC.

The Rams are the most perfectly average team in the NFL

I think they're the most perfectly average team in the NFL right now. ... They're right in the middle where they, they'll just beat all the bad teams and lose to all the good ones.

The Rams actually surged late, finished 10-7, and made the playoffs, proving they were above average.

The Chiefs have reached their final form and are now winning like the 2000s Patriots

The Chiefs, they've reached their final form of being the Patriots just dominating teams even so that like, they're now doing it a little bit different way where they're sneaking up. ... they're shape shifting and they're now winning in a completely, not a completely different way. ... they've changed it over a few times and they're still gonna keep winning.

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl with the #2 defense and a more methodical offense, exactly as Big Cat predicted.

The Dolphins are frauds until they beat a real team

I am of the firm believer. I love watching the Dolphins play football. They're very fun. They are on my fraud list until they beat a real team. ... they have played two teams that are at least playoff worthy teams in the Bills and the Eagles and got smoked.

The Dolphins' 'fraud' narrative persisted as they struggled against teams with winning records and lost in the Wild Card round.

The Dolphins' game against the Chiefs in Germany is a 'must compete' game

I'm calling the Germany game against the Chiefs a must compete. ... if they get blown out, that is loser. If they get blown out, they don't play a good team until week 16.

The Dolphins lost to the Chiefs 21-14 in Germany. They technically 'competed' but the loss fueled the 'fraud' narrative.

The Jets are a better team than the Dolphins right now

I think the Jets are better than the Dolphins right now. ... I think the Jets play a style of football the Dolphins cannot play it. ... Good physical defenses is seems like it's [the Dolphins'] kryptonite. ... The Jets would maybe fuck up the Dolphins.

The Dolphins swept the Jets in 2023, including a 34-13 win on Black Friday and a 30-0 blowout in December.

I only eat chicken tenders and don't like seafood

I have [had shrimp] but seafood's not really. Not really my thing. ... Chicken tenders. ... [Shirley Temples] I can get a Sprite whenever I want, but if I go to a restaurant or something, get a Shirley Temple. Class it up a little bit.

Personal preference.
