Lovie Smith will purposely tank the Week 18 game against the Colts to secure the #1 overall pick

Lovie Smith, there's precedent for him tanking at the end of a season. If you remember in 2014, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers... basically tanked in real life. He tanked right as we were watching it. He tanked that game. I think he will do the same in this game. Even if they get a lead, he will make sure that they find a way to lose.

Lovie Smith famously did the opposite: the Texans won on a last-second TD and 2-point conversion, giving the #1 pick to the Bears.

The NFL should expand to eight playoff seeds in both conferences to make the field fair for everyone

There's another possible outcome that we can have here. This is the one that I think that they should do. This seems to be the most fair one. They are considering giving eight seeds in the AFC as well as the NFC. Ooh. Because the nurse back, that would be more fair if you can't just have, you know, the the number one seed in the NFC, get a leg up and get that buy week if the AFC doesn't get it. Right. So I think that that's the fairest way to go about it.

The NFL did not expand the playoffs; they settled the AFC issues with neutral site contingencies.

The AFC Championship Game should be played at a neutral site in Detroit

Let's be honest, the answer is Detroit. Because it's always Detroit for these games. And then we'd also have the joke of like, this team has won more games in Detroit—playoff games in Detroit—than Detroit in the last 30 years. You just gotta always fall back to what is the trivia answer that would hurt Detroit the most.

While Detroit was considered, the NFL eventually settled on Atlanta (Mercedes-Benz Stadium) as the potential neutral site for the 2022-23 AFC Championship game.

The Chargers will beat the Broncos by at least a touchdown in Week 18

I love the Chargers. I can't believe how much I love the Chargers this weekend. And this again, it might be me continuing to buy into the Chargers bullshit. But I think that the Chargers win this. I'm gonna adjust the line on this now... Go charges minus six and a half.

The Chargers lost to the Broncos 31-28.

College basketball has five absolutely dominant teams this year

We have five, you could even maybe go to six, just absolutely dominant teams. Michigan, UConn, Duke, Arizona, and Florida that are playing at such an insane level.

The dominance of these teams will be tested in the upcoming NCAA tournament in March 2026.

Florida can win the national championship because they can shoot threes now

Florida though, I've been talking about Florida for three weeks. They could shoot threes now. They absolutely kicked [Arkansas's]... They just throttle teams. All four of [Duke, Michigan, Arizona, Florida] would be the best team in the previous five years.

Whether Florida wins the title or performs as an elite team will be decided by the end of March Madness.

Miami of Ohio will make the tournament even if they lose in the conference tournament

I'm saying right now, winning every... If they go undefeated in the conference, that is so hard to do. I think if they go undefeated in the conference and then lose in the conference tournament, I think they will be in.

This will be resolved on Selection Sunday, March 15th, 2026.
