The Chiefs are very dangerous in the playoffs and you shouldn't bet against Mahomes

The Chiefs might actually be very dangerous this Playoffs... Patrick Mahomes, people are actually disrespecting the Chiefs and being like, they can't do anything. And it's Patrick Mahomes. So that really, that's all you gotta say. It's Patrick Mahomes in the Playoffs. You don't wanna bet against that guy.

The Chiefs went on to win Super Bowl LVIII, proving Big Cat's warning about Mahomes in the playoffs was spot on.

I hate watching playoff football on an app like Peacock

I hate the experience of watching a game on an app as opposed to watching on TV, where you can easily and elegantly and seamlessly flip back and forth and show off your skills going back to the game right as it's about to snap again... it's a playoff game and it stinks.

This is a subjective preference about the viewing experience.

This might be Mike Tomlin's best coaching job ever

This might be Mike Tomlin's best coaching job ever. And it's crazy when they were 7-4, they were also like the most Mickey Mouse 7-4 of all time. But that's because Mike Tomlin is a pretty damn good coach. And so he was able to win all those games when they were getting outgained back to back to back.

The Steelers finished 10-7 and made the playoffs despite a difficult mid-season stretch and QB turnover, validating the claim of a high-level coaching performance.

The Jaguars' collapse was caused by the 'Curse of the Terrible Towel'

Since the Jaguars disrespected the towel [The Steelers' Terrible Towel], the Jaguars slid into oblivion. The Steelers end up taking the Jaguar's playoff spot right on the last day of the season. You can't argue otherwise.

The Jags did fall from 8-3 to out of the playoffs, though obviously not due to a literal curse.

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.
