The Lakers and Celtics will meet in the NBA Finals

I think it's going to be Lakers-Celtics in the championship.

The Lakers won the title in the Bubble, but they played the Miami Heat. The Celtics lost in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Heat.

The Baltimore Ravens are my Super Bowl pick

The Baltimore Ravens have been my Super Bowl pick since three weeks ago, I believe.

The Ravens finished 14-2 but were upset by the Titans in the Divisional Round; the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.

The Rams are broken and suffering from a Super Bowl hangover

The Rams definitely, there was a point in that game where they just flat out quit... Their offensive line has been bad. Jared [Goff], obviously, a personal friend... he's got to play better, but the whole team kind of looks a little broken... I think losing the Super Bowl the way they lost it, those kind of things kind of stick with you for a year, and it takes a year to reset it.

The Rams went from 13-3 in 2018 to 9-7 and missed the playoffs in 2019, confirming the 'hangover' narrative.

Mark Ingram isn't getting enough credit for the Ravens' success

I'm going to say you know who's not getting enough credit is Mark Ingram. And people are going to start talking more about Mark Ingram as people dig further into the Baltimore Ravens. But Mark Ingram is – he runs with authority.

Ingram was a Pro Bowler that year and crucial to their record-setting rushing attack.

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.
