The Cincinnati Bengals will defeat the Los Angeles Rams 24-20

I still think it's going to be like 24-20 Cincinnati... I'm reverting back fully to what I felt on Monday morning and I'm going to stick with the Bengals.

The Rams won 23-20.

If Aaron Donald wins Super Bowl MVP, he is in the discussion for best defensive player ever

Aaron Donald, if he wins a Super Bowl and a Super Bowl MVP, he now is absolutely in the discussion for best defensive player of all time. He's already a Hall of Famer... there's only been like two or three guys who've been All-Pro eight out of their first nine years.

While Donald won the Super Bowl and is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, Cooper Kupp won the MVP. The debate for 'greatest defensive player ever' usually still centers on Lawrence Taylor.

Losing to a former assistant in the Super Bowl is a worse legacy stain than losing to Bill Belichick

Losing to your assistant in your second Super Bowl, when it's his first Super Bowl, that is way worse and that will be the reason why the narrative is there. It won't have anything to do with Belichick or the Patriots... if [Sean McVay] loses this game and loses to his former assistant, that's a much harder pill to swallow.

McVay won the game, so the hypothetical 'can't win the big one' label was avoided.

The Super Bowl score will be 32-26 Bengals for a Scorigami

The prop is obvious. It's Scorigami on the Barstool Sportsbook... got to be aligned and take 32-26 Bengals. That would be a Scorigami.

The score was 23-20 Rams, not a Scorigami and the wrong winner.

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.
