The Yankees will beat the Red Sox 5-4 in the 2021 Wild Card game

I'm going to go Yankees 5-4... The Powerball number that was drawn in Boston was 1-9-7-8, 1978. 1978, the Red Sox blew like a 20-game lead over the Yankees... Yankees win 5-4. Yankees go on to win the World Series over the Dodgers. That's what's happening this year.

The Red Sox won the game 6-2, so both the score and the winner were incorrect.

The Red Sox will beat the Yankees 6-4 in the 2021 American League Wild Card game

I think it's going to be Red Sox 6, Yankees 4. Take the over. Red Sox money line.

The Red Sox won 6-2, so the winner and 'over' were correct but the score was off.

Garrett Cole will be chased from the Wild Card game after only two innings

Garrett Cole getting chased after two innings would be great. Schwarber going yard off Cole, hitting the ball 500 feet.

Cole was pulled after exactly 2.0 innings, surrendering two home runs. Kyle Schwarber also homered off him.

The Yankees will beat the Red Sox 7-5 in the 2021 American League Wild Card game

I'm going to go Yankees 7, Red Sox 5. Look for an unlikely hero in the name of Andrew Velazquez or Greg Allen for the Yankees.

The Red Sox won 6-2, making the winner and score prediction incorrect.

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.
