The Washington Football Team will beat the Eagles in Week 1

I think that the Redskins [Washington Football Team]... I think that they could win this game. This could be a weird game where it's a new head coach and new place. The team's gonna be playing for Ron Rivera this week.

Washington defeated the Eagles 27-17 in Week 1 of the 2020 season.

There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop the Chiefs when their offense is humming

The Chiefs newsflash are really, really, really fucking good. Like I don't I don't think the Texans are as bad as they looked at times. I think the Chiefs are just really, really fucking good. Super Bowl champs for a reason. There's nothing that you could do to stop the Chiefs when their offense is humming like that. There's just there's absolutely nothing you can do.

The Chiefs went 14-2 and reached the Super Bowl again that season, and have remained the league's most dominant offense.

The NBA rigged Game 6 for the Raptors over the Celtics to get a Game 7 for ratings

I'm feeling nervous. I'm not gonna lie. Game 6 was clearly like the NBA and I understand where the NBA is coming from where they need the best ratings we could possibly get. If we could tell the refs, just call everything against the Celtics so we can get a game 7 for ratings. I understand it. It was clearly the post-game report admitted everything that happened on the stretch that was supposed to get called against the Celtics didn't.

While the NBA admitted to officiating errors, there is no proof of a directive for ratings. The Celtics won Game 7 anyway.

The Celtics are clearly the better team than the Raptors and the series should have been over in five games max

The Celtics have clearly been the better team in the series. They should have won game three. They should have won game six... I do think that the Celtics are the better team and it should have been a four game five game Max series.

The Celtics did eventually win Game 7 to advance, supporting the idea they were the better team, though it took the full 7 games.

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.
