The Ravens are going to win the Super Bowl

The Ravens obviously look awesome. I think that they're going to win the Super Bowl. I really do believe that.

The Ravens finished 14-2 but were upset by the Titans in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

The Vikings can beat any team in the NFC

The Vikings definitely need to be taken for real in terms of the NFC. Like they are a team that could beat anyone in my mind. I don't think there's one team in the NFC where you're like, man, that team [is untouchable] besides maybe the 49ers.

The Vikings won a playoff game against the Saints but were soundly beaten by the 49ers in the Divisional round.

The Eagles will win the NFC East because the Cowboys only beat up on the 'Sisters of the Poor'

I think that Dak Prescott is a franchise quarterback, but them as a full team, not that good. And the teams they've beaten have been bad, and they beat up on the Sisters of the Poor... I think the Eagles will win that division because they're now tied 5-4, and the remaining game is in Philadelphia.

The Eagles won the NFC East with a 9-7 record, while the Cowboys finished 8-8.

The Ravens' win over the 0-8 Bengals was more impressive than their wins against the Patriots and Seahawks

This win by the Ravens today was more impressive than their wins against the Patriots and the Seahawks because this was a classic letdown spot, a classic spot where the Ravens were going to read their press clippings... No. They demolished them from the first play on.

The Ravens did indeed stay hot, finishing the season 14-2, proving they were immune to the 'letdown' narrative that season.

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.
