The Kansas City Chiefs are officially frauds

The Bills, they might be back... This is for real because they go into Kansas City, a Chiefs team that I will officially say is a fraud. They're frauds.

The Chiefs finished 10-6 and won the AFC West, but lost in the Wild Card round to the Titans at home, validating the 'fraud' label to some degree for that specific season.

The Chargers are for real and will win the AFC West

I'm going to tell you why they're frauds, because they're going to win the AFC West... you were saying that they would be the best team to not make the playoffs. Guess what? You were fucking wrong because they are going to make the playoffs.

The Chargers finished 9-7 and tied for the division lead but lost the tiebreaker to the Chiefs, failing to make the playoffs.

The NFC South is the toughest division in football

I think we can officially say [the NFC South] is the toughest division in football. The Falcons, the Panthers and the Saints all in my for reals category. And I don't know, like all those teams should make the NFC playoffs.

In 2017, the Saints, Panthers, and Falcons all made the playoffs from the NFC South, which is a rare feat for a single division.

The Steelers will throttle the Packers on Sunday Night Football

I think they will throttle the Packers. Put it in the books. It's a very safe shot to call. I bet minus 14, and I feel very confident in my bet.

The Steelers won 31-28. They did not cover the -14 spread and certainly didn't 'throttle' the Aaron Rodgers-less Packers.

Anything is possible for the Eagles with Carson Wentz at quarterback

When you have Carson Wentz, anything's possible. Yeah, he's unbelievable.

The 2017 Eagles did indeed win the Super Bowl, though Nick Foles finished the job after Wentz's injury.

Wisconsin will beat Ohio State 27-17 in the Big Ten Championship

Obviously the Badgers are going to win... I think it's going to be 27-17.

Ohio State won the 2017 Big Ten Championship 27-21.

Wisconsin will lose the Big Ten Championship in heartbreaking fashion because of Alex Hornibrook

One side of my brain says that Wisconsin has everything they need to win this game. The other side of my brain says Hornibrook's going to have to make four or five passes in key points... and he's not going to be able to. And we're going to lose in heartbreaking fashion.

This was extremely prescient. Wisconsin lost 27-21, and Hornibrook threw two critical interceptions in a game they had a chance to win late.

Gus Malzahn looks like Marlon's man's lawyer

I take one look at Gus Malzahn and I think there's no way that this guy is a successful college coach... he looks like Marlon's man's lawyer. Like, if the lawyer had a lawyer, he would look like Gus Malzahn.

This is a subjective aesthetic observation.
