The Vikings will finish 13-4 but everyone knows they will inevitably choke in the playoffs

I'm saying right now 13 and four is absolutely what they're gonna be I think... they're gonna win 13 games at least and then this is gonna happen and we're gonna come right back to these seats... we need to have an understanding that this is not personal... but you know that we know, and we know that you know exactly what's gonna happen.

The Vikings finished exactly 13-4 and then lost at home in the Wild Card round to the Giants, making this prediction perfectly accurate.

The 2022 Jets are a mirrors-image of the 2018 Chicago Bears

The comparison I've been making is the Jets this season feel like the 2018 Chicago Bears. And I say that because the Chicago Bears in 2018 were an elite defense. This Jets team has an elite defense. So good. The quarterback [Zach Wilson] was in their second year, second overall pick... It goes to the same problem of your team can be good and your quarterback's bad.

The Jets finished 7-10 while having a top-5 defense, mirroring the frustration of the 2018 Bears (though the Bears actually made the playoffs that year).

Zach Wilson's ceiling is still Patrick Mahomes

I know this sounds crazy, but I really think [Zach Wilson's] ceiling's Patrick Mahomes. Just, it sounds crazy... I still think his ceiling is there.

Zach Wilson was eventually benched and traded to Denver, never coming close to Mahomes' level of play.

Jeff Saturday will keep the Colts physically tough and competitive as 'cover machines'

The Colts continued to do what I think [Jeff] Saturday's gonna have him do, which is just be cover machines. And they played physically... I actually do think that the Colts are gonna continue to be super physical, maybe not like the most electric team... but they're not gonna roll over for anybody like they were before.

The Colts lost seven straight games to end the season after PFT made this take, including the largest blown lead in NFL history.

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.
