The New Orleans Saints will cover the spread (+5.5) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I'm taking the Saints plus five and a half. I think this game is gonna be close... I just think the Saints' defense will keep it close. Also... Saints are seven and one straight up and 7-1 as an underdog against a spread in the last three years.

The Saints didn't just cover; they beat the Buccaneers outright 36-27 on October 31, 2021.

Kyler Murray is a soft football player who gets leniency because he is a 'short king'

The story out of Glendale tonight, I think is that Kyler Murray is soft. This is soft football player. I haven't heard anybody drop the S bomb on him. I think he gets a lot of leniency because he's a short king. And I actually just think that he's a little bit soft.

This is a subjective characterization of a player's toughness.

The Braves will not win the World Series without Charlie Morton

Charlie Morton breaking his leg, unbelievable performance fact that he kept pitching... It's going to be very tough for the Braves to win this world series without their number one. And that sucks. I do not think the Braves are gonna be able to survive without Charlie Morton.

The Braves actually went on to win the 2021 World Series despite losing Charlie Morton to injury.

The Minnesota Vikings would be 5-1 right now if not for a couple of fluke plays

The Vikings... I hate doing the like, oh, they should've could've woulda, but they really did play... they really could have beaten the Cardinals and the Bengals... they were a fucked up fumble and a misfield goal against the Cardinals away from being five and one.

While the plays happened, the take that they 'would' be 5-1 is a counter-factual opinion. The Vikings finished the 2021 season 8-9, often losing close games, which supports the 'could have been better' spirit.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
