I bet on the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl at 13 to 1

I have made a wager on the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl at 13 to one... Everyone's like, Oh, you know, no one's gonna be able to keep up with the bills and the chief's offense. Why not defense? Why aren't we looking for defense?

The Ravens lost in the Wild Card round to the Bengals. The Chiefs eventually won Super Bowl LVII.

Lamar Jackson will pull a 'Joe Flacco' and win the Super Bowl in a contract year

Wouldn't that be so Ravens too? I was about to say for Lamar [Jackson] to win the Super Bowl in a contract year... And they have to pay him the Flacco. That would be, he would pull a full Flacco on you.

Jackson did not win the Super Bowl that year; he was injured late in the season and missed the playoffs.

Carson Wentz was not the problem in Indianapolis; it was everyone else

I think I actually take Carson Wentz's side in the breakup. Because like they remember how much they bashed him and were like, he's not a leader. He's the reason we lost the Jags. Now that we've moved away from it, you know, eight months and we've seen some more stuff. I think Carson Wentz was not the problem. It was just all the other guys.

While the Colts were indeed a mess after Wentz left, Wentz also struggled significantly in Washington, suggesting he was still part of the problem.

The Colts hired Jeff Saturday as bait to eventually lure Peyton Manning to be the GM

My conspiracy theory says that they hired Jeff Saturday because they want to hire Peyton Manning to run the team to do a GM in the future... Now Jeff Saturday is a real life puppet of Peyton Manning as the head coach just to bring the rest of Peyton Manning's body from the wrist all the way back to be the, to be the general manager.

Jeff Saturday was eventually replaced by Shane Steichen, and Peyton Manning did not become the Colts GM.

Brian Kelly will create an LSU program that consistently beats Alabama

This now feels like it could be Brian Kelly could create a team at LSU that consistently can beat Alabama. Not one year where you have the like this incredible, incredible team and talent. It's no, every year LSU should be able to compete with Bama.

LSU lost to Alabama the following year (2023) 42-28, showing it wasn't quite a 'consistent' beatdown yet, though Kelly remained competitive.

I bet Tua Tagovailoa to win the MVP at 16 to 1

I made another bet—Tua [Tagovailoa] to win the MVP 16 to one. What's gonna, if Josh—this is, it is also based like, I hope Josh Allen's not hurt, but if he is hurt, Tua feels like he's got a lot of, lot of like people feel bad about the concussions. He's gonna have some, a lot of numbers.

Patrick Mahomes won the 2022 NFL MVP. Tua did not win.

Connor McDavid is the most dominant pro athlete in the world right now

Conor McDavid is the best pro athlete right now... Conor McDavid dominates hockey more than any other athlete in the world dominates theirs.

Inherently subjective, but McDavid's statistical output (153 points in 2022-23) supports the claim of historical dominance.

Cale Makar will be the greatest defenseman of all time

Kale Makar is number two... Kale Makar is the Conor McDavid of defense. He almost might be more valuable according to Wayne Gretzky... [Nathan McKinnon] said that this will be the greatest defenseman of all time.

Makar is still young, but already has a Norris, Calder, Conn Smythe, and Stanley Cup, making this a legitimate high-stakes projection.

The Colorado Avalanche will repeat as Stanley Cup champions

I think the abs [Avalanche] unfortunately will probably beat the Oilers again in the Western Conference final. And I'm picking the abs to win again.

The Avalanche lost in the first round of the 2023 playoffs to the Seattle Kraken. The Vegas Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup.

Dan Campbell says 'man' at least a hundred times a day

How many times does Dan Campbell say the word man? Man, I just said at least when we're in the building players at least a hundred. At least I know, I'm sure he does it a lot in his interviews, but man, man, man. No, he does it a lot. Probably at least a, at least a hundred.

Difficult to verify exactly, but Dan Campbell's public press conferences heavily support this frequency.
