The Steelers need to be taken very much for real as Super Bowl contenders

This was the game that was like, damn, the Steelers need to be taken very much for real because their defense just bottled up a very, very explosive Ravens offense. And they now have a two game lead in the AFC North and they are in play for a one seed as well because the Chiefs lost.

The Steelers continued to lead the AFC North and were in the mix for the 1 seed until the final weeks of the season.

Justin Tucker legitimately might be washed

There's something wrong with Justin Tucker and we've been calling him washed I think ever since it might've been 2017 when he missed that extra point against the Saints... now I think he legitimately might be washed. He's 30th in the NFL in terms of accuracy this year.

Justin Tucker finished the 2024 regular season with the lowest field goal percentage of his career (72.4%), confirming a significant decline.

The Browns are the bet against the Steelers on Thursday night

Matt Eberflus is a stupid head coach who coaches scared

Matt Eberflus is now 14 and 30 as a head coach. He's five and 17 in one score games... He's coaching like a guy who has like a 10 year contract. He's coaching like he shouldn't push the buttons to be like, 'Hey, you're a four and six team now.' ... Not only do you not run an extra play when you have a timeout in your back pocket to try to get closer, but in the drive before that it's fourth and three on the 50 yard line. Try to win the game right there.

Matt Eberflus was indeed fired shortly after this game (following the Thanksgiving Day loss), validating the take that he was unfit for the role.

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.
