The Cincinnati Bengals will be officially elevated to a good playoff team if they keep it close or beat the Baltimore Ravens

If the Bengals can keep this close or possibly win this game, they are officially elevated to a good team playoff team. Like, and I think they're right there. I think their defensive played very well.

The Bengals went on to win this game 41-17 and eventually made the Super Bowl, proving this take entirely correct.

If Ben Simmons is faking mental health issues to avoid playing, he is setting mental health awareness back significantly

I applaud Ben Simmons for being so brave. Yes, exactly. I would like to agree. Yeah. I would say it's okay to not be okay... If he is faking it, he's actually setting mental health way back way.

The take is a conditional moral judgment, so it is inherently subjective.

Ben Simmons is the reason the Philadelphia 76ers have been held back

I keep saying it and I feel like there's some people who still don't understand it. Like Ben Simmons is the reason why the Sixers have been held back. It's not that he, like if Joel Embiid was holding out, it'd be a completely different scenario here because Joel Embiid is their best player by far in away.

The Sixers traded Simmons for James Harden and eventually moved on, but failed to make a conference finals even after his departure, suggesting systemic issues beyond just Simmons.

Daryl Morey is making the right move by being willing to wait four years to trade Ben Simmons

Daryl Morey, I think he is probably read 'Art of the Deal' because he said they are willing to have this last four years... he just anchored the negotiation. He said, we're not going to trade him unless we get a true piece back. And if this has to go on for four years, it will go on for four years. Here's to four years. I hope it does, because that would be hilarious. But Daryl Morey. Good, good countermove to Ben Simmons saying he's dealing with mental health.

Morey successfully 'anchored' the negotiation and waited until the trade deadline to get James Harden, proving the patience strategy correct in spirit even if it didn't take four years.

The Lions will win the NFC North

I think they're gonna be really good. Are the Lions on Crosby watch? ... I think them and maybe the Cowboys might be on Crosby watch. ... I think they probably will win the NFC North.

The 2026 NFC North winner will determine whether this prediction was correct.

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.
