The Steelers will win at least two playoff games this season

I'm thinking two playoff wins... Minimum two playoff wins right now. And listen, I mean, can you say [Aaron] Rogers has been pretty damn good this year? Yes... He's dialed in.

The 2025-26 NFL playoffs have not occurred yet as of the episode date.

Justin Herbert is the most valuable player to his team in the NFL

If you look at like, players who are most valuable players to their teams, I think [Justin Herbert] might be the most valuable player. 'Cause if you don't have Justin Herbert, the Chargers are like a four or five win team.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's worth to his specific team.

Lamar Jackson has radiation poisoning from getting too many MRIs

Do you think Lamar Jackson has radiation poisoning? Mm. From all the MRIs. Too many MRIs and all the x-rays... It might be like Chernobyl.

MRIs do not use ionizing radiation, making radiation poisoning from them scientifically impossible.

John Harbaugh will be fired by the Ravens after the season

I think Harbaugh's gonna be gone. It feels... I don't think that you can have both of 'em back when you have a superstar quarterback that is your franchise and you have a long tenured head coach and they seem to not be seeing eye to eye.

The Ravens' coaching decision will be known after the 2025 season concludes.

Tyler Shuck should win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year

He should win Rookie of the Year. Right now he's second in odds on DK... if Tyler Shuck ends the year on this winning streak, it has to be Tyler Shuck. If he ends the year six and three as a starter, insane.

The award winner is announced at the NFL Honors in February 2026.

Road teams have a significant advantage in NFL games played on Christmas Day

Remember last year Christmas, the lesson that we learned... you fade the home team because they're doing all the family stuff, eating big meals on Christmas Eve. The road team has the advantage on Christmas Day.

The outcome of the 2025 Christmas Day games will determine the validity of this theory.

Connor McDavid will leave the Oilers within three seasons

He's Gonzo win or lose. We have three seasons left with Connor McDavid. That's my opinion... after three years, so three more playoffs. I think that would've been 13 years for McDavid... if he does leave in three years, win or lose, they're idiots [if they dislike him].

McDavid's next free agency or trade request timeline will resolve this.

The Colorado Avalanche are the absolute 'wagon' of the NHL

Colorado is the wagon guys. Colorado's the one that you're scared of... I can't help but see them running through the entire league and then winning the Stanley Cup with ease. Right now they are on pace to break the Bruins record for most points.

The conclusion of the 2025-26 NHL season will verify if they win the Cup or set the points record.

The Anaheim Ducks will win a Stanley Cup within the next eight years

I'll guarantee a Ryan Whitney guarantee. Ooh, Anaheim wins a Stanley Cup in the next eight years. Anaheim's gonna get a cup... they have a wagon of like young stars coming.

This prediction has a 2033 deadline.

Every great record was unpleasant to make and involved band members hating each other

I think that every good record that I can think of was made—was unpleasant to make, you know, they all sort of hate each other. Fleetwood Mac... the White Stripes... Jack [White] couldn't get Meg to do anything... it's all kind of this struggle.

This is a subjective theory on creative psychology.

Michigan State fans should troll Michigan over Sherrone Moore's Instagram activity

Michigan State deserves and is allowed to just go after Michigan right now. I actually think you should fire back... you go Sherrone Moore. Mel Tucker. 'cause that looks like you can hang. And also do not do the Larry Nassar [jokes].

This is a matter of fan etiquette and rivalry protocol.
