Every NFC South coach who doesn't win the division will be fired

Whoever wins the NFC South will not fire their coach going into next season. Agreed. Every other team will... I'm not saying that they should... we can say the entire NFC South is coaching for their job.

The Bucs won the division and kept Todd Bowles. Arthur Smith (Falcons) was fired. However, Dennis Allen (Saints) did not win the division but was NOT fired, making this prediction only partially correct.

The Dallas Cowboys are basically the same team they were last year

Dallas fans are so confident right now, as they should be. You're a good team, but you're basically the same team that you've been, or that you were last year at least. Yeah. Well, well, Mike McCarthy is the same guy that he was last year.

The Cowboys finished 12-5 for the third straight year and suffered another early, embarrassing playoff exit (Wild Card vs Packers), validating the take that they hadn't actually changed their ceiling.

Dak Prescott is a legitimate NFL MVP candidate because he's taking better care of the football than last year

Dak Prescott's playing way better than last year. He is playing out of his mind. ... Last year he finished the season 23 touchdowns, 15 interceptions. This season through week 13, he's 23 touchdowns, six interceptions. He's having an awesome, awesome year. And he's up there for MVP.

Dak Prescott finished 2nd in the 2023 NFL MVP voting behind Lamar Jackson, so he was definitely a 'legitimate candidate'.

The Seahawks are in serious trouble because of their upcoming schedule against the Niners and Eagles

The Seahawks are in trouble... They have to play. Their next two games are against the Niners and the Eagles. And they, they can't keep losing and make the playoffs.

The Seahawks lost to the Niners but beat the Eagles; they ultimately finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
