The Baltimore Ravens are my Super Bowl pick

The Baltimore Ravens have been my Super Bowl pick since three weeks ago, I believe.

The Ravens finished 14-2 but were upset by the Titans in the Divisional Round; the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.

The Rams are broken and suffering from a Super Bowl hangover

The Rams definitely, there was a point in that game where they just flat out quit... Their offensive line has been bad. Jared [Goff], obviously, a personal friend... he's got to play better, but the whole team kind of looks a little broken... I think losing the Super Bowl the way they lost it, those kind of things kind of stick with you for a year, and it takes a year to reset it.

The Rams went from 13-3 in 2018 to 9-7 and missed the playoffs in 2019, confirming the 'hangover' narrative.

Mark Ingram isn't getting enough credit for the Ravens' success

I'm going to say you know who's not getting enough credit is Mark Ingram. And people are going to start talking more about Mark Ingram as people dig further into the Baltimore Ravens. But Mark Ingram is – he runs with authority.

Ingram was a Pro Bowler that year and crucial to their record-setting rushing attack.

I love the over in Bills vs. Cowboys on Thanksgiving

Fellas, I love this over. This is going to be my over of the day. Because you've got to have at least one over on Thanksgiving. It's a lot going against Buffalo. Buffalo on the road. Different defense at home. Very good defense on the road. Maybe not as good. And also, teams have been able to run a little bit on the Bills. Guess who the Cowboys have? Zeke.

The Bills beat the Cowboys 26-15. Total points: 41. The over/under was 46.5, so the under hit.

The New Orleans Saints will blow out the Atlanta Falcons

I think that the wonky game already happened with the Saints and the Falcons. I think the Saints are going to blow them out.

The Saints won 26-18. While they won, an 8-point margin is hardly a 'blowout', though they controlled the game.

The Lakers and Celtics will meet in the NBA Finals

I think it's going to be Lakers-Celtics in the championship.

The Lakers won the title in the Bubble, but they played the Miami Heat. The Celtics lost in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Heat.

Paul Bunyan's Axe is the best rivalry trophy in college football

I do think, and I'm obviously biased, but I do think Paul Bunyan's axe is up there... It's fucking awesome. It's enormous. It's just a great trophy to have... grab it and you get to hold it up and it's fucking cool. Fake, fake chop down the goalposts, the whole thing.

Subjective opinion on which trophy is 'best'.

Being a NASCAR driver is harder than being a podcaster

Oh, it's definitely harder to be a NASCAR driver... What is our physical risk right now?

Subjective, though physically and safety-wise, NASCAR is objectively more dangerous.

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are the Mount Rushmore of Daily Show history

Stewart and Colbert... I think the two that everybody – you bear their fingerprints is either Colbert or Stewart. To me.

Subjective opinion on media icons.

The Cleveland Browns are going to run the table

I still think it's a portal game. I still think that the Browns are going to run the table... If they can win this game [vs Steelers], they have a chance to run the table.

The Browns lost to the Steelers that week and finished the season 6-10, losing 3 of their last 4.

The Patriots will dominate the Texans

Yep, this is the game. Patriots get back on a roll. They always dominate the Texans... I think this is a game they win by 10 to 14 points.

The Texans beat the Patriots 28-22 on SNF.
