The AFC Wild Card race is officially a dumpster fire

The end of the playoffs, the wild cards for the AFC are such shit. It's because the Jaguars have thrown the entire world out of order. 7-3. The Jaguars being good has created chaos theory for the wild card spots in the AFC. It is a dumpster fire.

The 2017 AFC Wild Card race did end up including the 9-7 Titans and 9-7 Bills, which supported the idea that the field was weak/chaotic.

Nathan Peterman will have a long career as a backup because he looks like a quarterback

A guy like that [Nathan Peterman], for every interception you throw in your debut, you buy yourself another year as a backup quarterback in the NFL. He looks the part, right? He looks like a quarterback. He's going to stick around.

Nathan Peterman has famously remained in the NFL as a backup/journeyman for many years despite very poor statistics, proving PFT's theory about backup longevity correct.

The Baltimore Ravens will make the 2017 NFL playoffs

If the season ended today, the Ravens would be a playoff team. So you have to ask, is Joe Flacco elite? And they have Danny Woodhead coming back. I have to say that the Ravens are going to make it.

The Ravens finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs after a Week 17 loss to the Bengals.

The Washington Redskins are officially finished and won't make the playoffs

So the Washington [Redskins], I think, are officially done. You can bury them right now. After a road loss like that, it's weird... they are such a bad home team.

The Redskins finished 7-9 and failed to make the postseason.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
