Pete Carroll did a bad job coaching the Seahawks this year

I think that Pete Carroll, you can now look back and make the argument Pete Carroll did a bad job coaching this year because they got more talented at the quarterback position this year [with Geno Smith]. And they failed to achieve the ultimate goals of winning playoff games.

Subjective opinion on coaching quality, though contrarian to the consensus that Carroll was a Coach of the Year candidate.

If you are taking an underdog in the playoffs, you should bet them straight up

Spreads don't really matter in the playoffs. They don't. That's what we've realized. If you're gonna take an underdog, take 'em straight up.

The 49ers (underdog) lost straight up to the Eagles, while the Bengals (underdog) also lost straight up to the Chiefs. In these specific games, taking the underdog straight up would have resulted in losses.

Brock Purdy winning seven Super Bowls would erase Tom Brady's legacy

I'm rooting for Brock [Purdy] in the Niners because Brock has a chance to totally erase Tom Brady's narrative and legacy if he wins a Super Bowl... If he wins seven, he would have a better [story]. He was drafted Mr. Irrelevant. He would totally erase Tom Brady's underdog story because it's an even bigger underdog story.

Purdy lost the NFC Championship game two days later and has not yet won a Super Bowl, let alone seven.

The Eagles will beat the 49ers by three touchdowns

I'm betting on the Eagles. The Eagles are gonna win this game by three touchdowns. Rock Purdy is gonna have a Joe Flacco rookie quarterback stat line. Stop the run, score early, make 'em throw, win.

The Eagles won 31-7, exactly a 24-point (three touchdown + field goal) margin. Hank was shockingly accurate.

Winter is officially over and next week will be golf weather

I think it's the official end of winter. Winter's done. Next week it's gonna be 60. Get the golf shoes out, get the shorts out. We made it another year of winter in Chicago.

This is a short-term weather prediction that would be resolvable within a week of the episode date.

Nebraska will finally get their first NCAA tournament win this year

I do think this is the year Nebraska gets their win. I think they have to. They're gonna be like minus 300 in the first round, minus 400. They gotta win.

Nebraska's first-round game in the 2026 tournament will determine if this is correct.

This year's Final Four will determine if Tom Izzo is overrated

I think it just feels like it's Izzo. He's gonna go out in the Final Four. He's gonna get there. This is for whether or not he's overrated or not. I will admit that I was wrong... if they make it to this Final Four.

If Michigan State makes the Final Four, PFT will concede his long-standing take.
