AJ Griffin will be a draft steal and a perfect NBA player

I think AJ Griffin's going to be really good. I think he could be one of those guys that in three or four years, you're like, 'oh, he's perfect for the NBA.' He just makes every three.

Big Cat predicted AJ Griffin would be a 'perfect NBA player' and a 'draft steal' within three or four years, known for making 'every three.' While Griffin had a promising rookie season (2022-23) with a 39.0% three-point percentage, his performance declined significantly in his second year (2023-24), where his three-point percentage dropped to 25.6%. Within the predicted timeframe, he was traded from the Hawks to the Rockets in 2024 and subsequently agreed to a contract buyout, reportedly considering stepping away from basketball entirely due to a spiritual journey. This outcome is contrary to becoming a 'perfect NBA player' or a 'draft steal.'

Mito Pereira's PGA meltdown wasn't as bad as Jean van de Velde's in 1999

He does have the fact that it's not the worst 18th hole meltdown of the history of the majors that will forever be [Jean] van de Velde, the French guy that ended up taking off his socks. I wish that Mito had tried to do that.

While subjective, Jean van de Velde's 1999 Open Championship meltdown is widely regarded as the most infamous in history.

Rory McIlroy is officially a backdoor cover guy for Top 5 finishes

I think [McIlroy] has become like a backdoor cover guy for top fives. Like he shows up on Sundays when he's out and he comes back in, but yeah. He's striking the ball well.

McIlroy has a well-documented history of final-round surges that result in high finishes but not wins in majors during this era.

The Lions will win the NFC North

I think they're gonna be really good. Are the Lions on Crosby watch? ... I think them and maybe the Cowboys might be on Crosby watch. ... I think they probably will win the NFC North.

The 2026 NFC North winner will determine whether this prediction was correct.

The Bears could have a top-five offense even if they miss the playoffs

There's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top-five offense. And our defense is so bad that I can almost—I would be very upset, but I could deal with it.

This resolves when the 2026 regular season ends and Chicago's offensive ranking and playoff status are known.

The Jaguars could win the AFC South

I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're gonna be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna keep going forward.

The Jaguars' season and Trevor Lawrence's 2026 performance will determine the prediction.
