I would have had a perfect bracket this year if I had filled one out

Last night, I got a little high, and I did some thinking, and I think with everything I know now, I would have had a perfect bracket if I had filled out a bracket. ... I just pick the four hottest teams in basketball. Put them in the Final Four. ... I did it.

The 2018 bracket was historically difficult (UMBC over Virginia, Loyola Chicago in the Final Four), making a perfect bracket statistically nearly impossible, even retroactively.

The Washington Capitals will win the Stanley Cup this year

I am officially, without any sarcasm whatsoever... I think it is the Caps year... This is the Caps year.

The Washington Capitals won the 2018 Stanley Cup, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Los Angeles Rams are going to suck and miss the playoffs despite their talent

I think the Rams are going to suck. They have too much talent... They're a surefire lock to win the NFC West, possibly go to the Super Bowl. They're going to miss the playoffs.

The 2018 Rams went 13-3 and played in Super Bowl LIII.

The San Francisco 49ers are my dark horse to win the NFC West

Well, you're forgetting about the team that nobody's talking about. My dark horse, San Francisco 49ers, play in the same division. So that's going to be tough for [the Rams] to get by.

The 49ers finished 4-12 in 2018, last in the NFC West, largely due to Garoppolo's season-ending injury in Week 3.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
