Josh Allen struggles significantly when he is pressured

Josh Allen has faced eight top 10 blitz heavy teams... and he's done well against the blitz. But there's a difference between a blitz and pressure... And Josh Allen has massively bad splits when he is being pressured.

Statistically, this was true for Allen in early 2021, and the Ravens pressure did limit the Bills to 17 points.

The Houston Astros officially cursed the city of Houston

Do you think this has anything to do with the Houston Astros have now officially cursed the city of Houston? Because James Harden and now Deshaun Watson both want out of town... It all goes back to the Houston Astros and their cheating scandal.

The subsequent years saw the Rockets and Texans enter deep rebuilds with little success, though the Astros themselves remained a powerhouse, somewhat debunking a total city curse.

The Houston Rockets are the winners of the James Harden trade

The Rockets, actually, I will say are a winner just because James Harden was going to eat himself to 300 pounds, was not going to try... they got anything for him, and they got a lot. They got a lot of picks.

While the Rockets got many picks, the immediate return didn't yield a contender, and Harden's Nets tenure was a disaster, eventually making the trade look decent for Houston in hindsight.

The Nets will break the NBA scoring record

They're going to score 150 points a game... they already were scoring like 118 a game, I think, and giving up 113 or 12. They could break the record. I think the record's like 250.

The Nets became a very high-scoring team, but they did not average 150 points per game, nor did they break the all-time single-game scoring record.

The Packers' defense is 'fraudulent'

I like the Packers defense, but I do think that it is a little bit fraudulent, could get exposed by the right offense. And I just don't know if this is the right team to do it. I think this easily could be a Rams cover defense.

The Packers defense played well against the Rams but was exposed the following week in the NFC Championship loss to the Buccaneers.

Mark Andrews will have a big game against the Bills

I think Mark Andrews is the key guy that you want to be looking at to have a big game for Baltimore. I think regardless of what Buffalo ends up doing, they stink covering tight ends. So I think Mark Andrews is going to have a big game here.

Andrews had only 4 catches for 28 yards in the game, a very quiet performance.

The Raiders are not a legitimate postseason threat despite their 6-3 record

The Raiders are an interesting team... I still don't think that this team is a team that's going to go far in the postseason, even though they're 6-3.

The Raiders went 2-5 the rest of the way in 2020 and finished 8-8, missing the playoffs entirely.
