The Bengals can win the Super Bowl this year

The Bengals can absolutely win the Super Bowl this year. I think that it's crazy. I think that their past defense is very underrated.

The Bengals reached the AFC Championship but lost to the Chiefs. They did not win the Super Bowl.

Winning close games makes the Vikings more dangerous for the playoffs

I think it's actually good that the Vikings are winning all these like super close games and not blowing anybody out. I actually think like learning how to win in weird ways... All that high pressure practice that they're getting in during the regular season is gonna be very good for them in the playoffs.

The Vikings went on to lose their first playoff game at home to the Giants, who were 9-7-1, in exactly the kind of close game PFT said they were prepared for.

The Jets will trade Zach Wilson

I think they're gonna end up trading [Zach Wilson] because the way the teams united behind Mike White, I mean Garrett Wilson I think tweeted or said in post game, I'll go to work, I'll get to work something special about that boy talking about Mike White.

While Wilson was benched for 2023 for Aaron Rodgers, he wasn't actually traded until April 2024 to the Broncos. This take was eventually right in spirit but the Jets held him longer than expected.

Brian Daboll played too conservatively by punting in overtime

He really pus it out in overtime with the punt that he calls... It was fourth and three on the Washington 45 yard line minute 42 seconds remaining in overtime a tie game 20 to 20 and he decided to punt the ball away.

The game ended in a tie, which is a verifiable result of the decision to punt.

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.
