I like to bet on new head coaches in Week 1

I'm going to take the [Washington Football Team]. New coach. I like to bet on new coaches in week one.

Washington (under new coach Ron Rivera) did beat the Eagles 27-17 in Week 1, so the strategy worked in this specific instance.

The Rams new logo is even worse than when it was first revealed

The Rams logo sucks even worse than I – like, they did the logo reveal a month ago. We all roasted it. I forgot about it... But, man, does that logo suck.

The Rams logo was almost universally panned by fans and media upon release.

The Texans will finish the 2020 season with a 5-11 or 6-10 record

I think that the Texans are going to stink next year and be like 5-11, 6-10.

The 2020 Houston Texans finished 4-12, making PFT's prediction very accurate regarding their 'stink' level, though they slightly underperformed even his low win total.

The NFL's Christmas Day game is a direct shot at the NBA

The NFL is now saying, fuck you, NBA. We're not giving you this day for free. They're fighting back, and they will have an NFL game on Christmas Day.

The NFL has increasingly moved into the Christmas window since this take, including tripleheaders in subsequent years, effectively dominating the ratings over the NBA.

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.
