Eliminated teams playing teams that need to win in the final weeks are a 63% ATS betting lock

The eliminated teams playing teams that need to win over the final two weeks of this season are 63% against the spread since 1990. So essentially any team that needs to win and you're playing a dead dog team, it just always, it, it, it usually works out that the dead dog team's a little livelier than people realize.

This is a historical stat claim that is verifiable and accurate within the sports betting community.

The Ohio-Wyoming Arizona Bowl is for true football guys because there will be a lot of running and punting

Ohio and Wyoming. I think we're gonna get some, this is gonna be one of those games where it's the true football guys, cuz there's gonna be a lot of running, a lot of punting football guys.

The game ended 30-27 in OT, which actually featured more scoring than the 'punt fest' Big Cat predicted, though it was a physical game.

Derek Carr's benching smells like a future trade to the Indianapolis Colts

they're going to try to trade [Derek Carr] this off season. And I think we've predicted for at least the last six weeks, it just smells like the Colts. it smells like a Colts move.

Derek Carr was not traded to the Colts; he was released by the Raiders and signed a free-agent deal with the New Orleans Saints.

The 2026 Thanksgiving Day schedule is the best single day of football ever

Wednesday night is the Packers versus the Rams. Then Thursday, Thanksgiving day is Bears, lions, Eagles, Cowboys, chiefs bills. That will be great. Like the day of Thanksgiving? Yeah. That's the best day of football I think maybe ever.

Whether it's the 'best day ever' is a matter of personal opinion and game quality.

Pittsburgh fleeced Boston in the gorilla trade

I think Boston got fleeced. Frankie got traded, 7-year-old. Frankie got traded to the Boston Zoo. He's going to just be chilling with a bunch of other dudes. Little Joe got traded to Pittsburgh because he's going to be mating and making new gorilla. Pittsburgh's the one that's gonna be making more gorillas. You guys are do everything all wrong. They're, they're making a gorilla factory in Pittsburgh.

Evaluating zoo conservation efforts through the lens of a sports trade is inherently comedic and subjective.
