Dak Prescott will be the undoing of the Cowboys in the playoffs

Dak Prescott will be the undoing of the Cowboys and they'll still have to extend him... would you ever trust Dak Prescott on a big, maybe fourth quarter, has to drive the team down the field?

While Dak won a playoff game in 2018, the Cowboys' season ended with him failing to overcome the Rams, partially validating the skepticism, though he has remained the starter for years.

The Cowboys created the blueprint for beating the Saints

A blueprint on how to beat the Saints... You've got to play at home, so you've got to stay away from New Orleans. You have to have an all-time defensive performance from your defense. You have to have an all-time terrible performance from Drew Brees. You have to have a coach that secretly wants the Cowboys job.

The Saints did lose again in the 2018 playoffs (to the Rams), and the Cowboys' defense remained elite for that season, though the 'blueprint' of Brees playing poorly was more of a fluke than a strategy.

Sean Payton was trying to be a gentleman by wasting challenges for the Cowboys

I thought it was going to be Sean Payton trying to show off for [Jerry Jones], but instead it was Sean Payton being a gentleman. Tossing his two challenge flags in the first quarter... so that way when there's a terrible first down mark, he can't challenge it in the fourth quarter.

Payton did waste his challenges early, but it was certainly not out of gentlemanliness or a desire to lose.

The Cowboys making the playoffs would make Jason Garrett more fireable

If his team is good enough to make the playoffs and get their asses kicked in the first round of the playoffs, that makes him way more fireable than if he goes 9-7 and doesn't make it.

Garrett actually won a playoff game in 2018 against the Seahawks before losing in the Divisional round, which bought him more time, making PFT's theory incorrect in this instance.

Duke is the best team in the country and it would be an all-time failure if they don't win the title

This is the best team in the country. It would be an all time epic failure if Duke doesn't win the national title. They are the first time I believe that a team has reached plus 40 in Ken Palm since 1999. Duke... This team has it all.

The 2026 NCAA tournament has not occurred yet as of the episode date.

Duke not winning the national title would be the most consequential sports story of all time

I think it would be the biggest sports story of all time. If Duke did not win the national title this year. All time. I think all time story... Duke not winning at all this year would be the biggest, the most consequential sports story of all time. Not our lifetimes of all time.

The outcome is pending, but the scale of the claim is subjective and satirical.
