If you are down 14 in the 4th, you must go for two after the first touchdown

Quick analytics question for you. You're down 14 and it's the fourth quarter and you score with three and a half minutes left. Are you going for two... [Freeman says kick]... That's wrong. It's a math thing... you go for two. If you get it the first time, then you can win the game with an extra point. If you don't get it, the analytics say you're gonna get it the second time statistically.

This is a statistically-backed strategy, though its effectiveness is debated by traditionalists.

Florida State still controls their own destiny despite the Week 0 loss

Florida State has controls their own destiny now. Whereas last year they won all their games and didn't control their own destiny. So they actually control their own destiny even though they lost the first game. So they're not out of it.

While technically true that they weren't mathematically eliminated, FSU finished 1-11, proving they had no destiny to control.

Mike White could win a game for the Jets against anyone off the bench

Mike White could win you a game on the New York Jets. I don't care who he's playing against, I don't care. He could come off the bench in the first quarter and Mike White has that ability to just somehow throw for three touchdowns for the Jets.

Mike White was not on the Jets roster in 2024 and did not play a game for them.

I might bet the Chargers to win the Super Bowl because Jim Harbaugh makes players harder to break

I might put a little something on the Chargers just because not to win the AFC West, but to maybe just win the Super Bowl because Harbaugh, the guy just does things like this... Friday was a key step in the team getting good at making yourself harder to break.

The Chargers had a good season but did not win the Super Bowl.

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.
