Offenses will eventually adapt to the two-high safety look that is currently limiting NFL scoring

I feel like there are ways around that too. I feel like offenses can adapt to it. Offenses that are doing a lot of motion like the Saints, the 49ers, some of these offenses that are trying to confuse the defense are still very effective.

Offensive production did fluctuate but the league-wide adaptation to 'shell' defenses remained a season-long narrative with varying success.

The Patriots' offensive line is currently worse than the Bears'

[The Patriots] looked horrible. Their offensive line like looked worse than the Bears. [Jacoby Brissett] never had more than one second to throw. They missed a ton of tackles on defense.

While both units were bottom-tier, the Patriots' line was statistically among the worst in terms of pressure rate allowed throughout the 2024 season.

Shohei Ohtani is the best baseball player of all time

I'd say that this, he is the best baseball player of all time. Whether or not he'll have the best career of all time is kind of up for grabs. But we've never seen anybody that's doing what he's doing.

This is inherently subjective, though Ohtani's 2024 season and dual-threat history make him a consensus top-tier candidate for the 'best ever' title.

NFL offenses are struggling because they are taking the bait on two-high safety looks

Everyone's blaming the two high safeties. And I actually read an article... essentially deep passes still work, but offenses are taking the bait with the two high safeties and just they're running the ball into light boxes and it's just not, it's not as effective... stop taking the bait.

The 'two-high' shell was a dominant talking point in 2024. Offensive production did eventually tick up as teams adapted, though passing yards remained historically low for much of the year.

The Bills could have three or four Super Bowls without kickers

You can make the argument that the Buffalo Bills would have like three or four Super Bowls if kickers weren't a thing in football. You can make the argument that the Patriots might not have had the start of that dynasty if it wasn't for kickers.

The claim is a counterfactual and cannot be definitively verified.

Jalen Hurts will answer the Titans by beating them as a passer

I actually think Jalen Hurts is good enough as a quarterback that when somebody dares him to do that, he could say, 'Fuck you, I will beat you as a quarterback.' And then stay in the pocket and throw for like 300 yards and three touchdowns.

Hurts' passing production against Tennessee will determine this prediction.

The Jaguars would be the second-best team in football if they win in Denver

If they win this game in Denver, I would put them maybe second in the power rankings behind the Jets.

The Jaguars' win and their resulting standing in PFT's power rankings are the relevant conditions; the ranking itself is subjective.
