Travis Kelce ramps it up in the playoffs compared to the regular season

I do think this is where Travis Kelce ramps it up. Like, I like his over yards. I think this is, he, he, he plays in second gear for the majority of the regular season. And then when you get to these points... it's Travis Kelce or Mahomes using his feet.

Kelce historically has higher output in the playoffs, though this specific game's stats would be needed to verify for the 2025 divisional round.

If the Commanders keep the Lions game within one score in the 4th quarter, they will win

If we can keep it within a score, Jaden Daniels can go out there and win the game. And the Lions' buttholes might get tight.

The outcome of the Lions vs. Commanders 2025 divisional game will determine this.

Vic Fangio will dial up something to stifle the Rams offense

I think Vic Fangio is gonna have, he's gonna dial some shit up. Stafford, older, doesn't play well in cold weather. I think Vic Fangio is gonna have, he's gonna dial some shit up.

Outcome of the Rams-Eagles divisional game will determine correctness.

Lamar Jackson may struggle because he doesn't like the cold

Coldest game that Lamar Jackson's ever played. Guess what it was? 27. This is eight degrees is very different from 27. Lamar, in their earlier matchup this season, the temperature was like 60 and he was wearing a hoodie and a beanie for it. I don't know that Lamar loves the cold.

Lamar's performance in the 8-degree Buffalo game will determine this.

Bill Belichick will be successful at UNC by marketing it as an 'NFL factory'

I think that if you are matter of fact, he's gonna be the closer. If you're a matter of fact to these both transfer kids and like, I think he'll crush it in the transfer portal because if he just says, Hey, I'm not gonna try to sell you on, like, this idea that we're gonna, we're competing for national titles right away, or we're do, I'm gonna get you ready to play football at the National Football League level and there's no one better that knows that than me.

Brock Bowers is the best tight end in the NFL and should win Rookie of the Year

Brock Bowers is first in receptions. He's fourth in yards. I know that it will go to a quarterback. But Brock Bowers the best tight end in the NFL. He should win Rookie of the Year.

While Bowers has had a historic rookie season, Jayden Daniels remains the favorite for ROTY. 'Best tight end' is subjective but statistically defensible.

The Bears' organization has ruined Caleb Williams

The organization's a fucking joke... None of it makes sense. Everything sucks. The organization is a joke. They've ruined Caleb Williams.

Williams has struggled significantly, and the Bears' history with quarterbacks supports the narrative, though it is too early to declare his career 'ruined'.

Whichever team wins this game, I think that team is gonna win their division. I think they could maybe be thinking soupy [Super Bowl].

Derrick Henry might be the last running back to reach 10,000 career yards

Derrick Henry is 17, 18 yards away from 10,000 yards. He could be the last running back we see get 10,000 yards... Jonathan Taylor... is halfway there... but it's nuts to look at and realize that Derrick Henry... might not see a lot of 10,000 yards guys, you know, ever again.

Derrick Henry did hit 10k yards later this week. Whether he's the 'last' is a long-term projection that will take years to verify.

Texas will win the National Championship

The Texas Longhorns. I like the Texas Longhorns... Texas is back. We might see Arch Manning if Ewers has any issues. But I think that Ewers is still obviously one of the best quarterbacks in college football. And their hardest game is Georgia. They have that at home. And with the expanded playoffs... Texas will also benefit.

The season is ongoing; Texas remains a top contender.

Andy Reid will be considered the GOAT coach if he stays with Mahomes

I think that the 'Andy Reid is the greatest coach of all time' will eventually be a conversation if he stays in Kansas City. Because Bill Belichick without Tom Brady, his record has not been great. If [Reid] coaches for another eight years and you have Patrick Mahomes, that's like 12, 13 wins a year. That's a lot of wins. Andy's gonna go for Shula.

The conversation has already begun to shift in this direction following Reid's third Super Bowl win in 2024.

I am going to break 120 in golf this off-season without cheating

I think this is the off season that I get really into golf... I'm gonna break 120 before, and not by cheating. I'm not gonna cheat except on maybe one water hole I'll cheat on one water hole. But besides that, I'm gonna do it straight up, just clean as can be.

PFT's golf game is a recurring joke, and while he did play more, 'breaking 120' is a low bar that remains unverifiable without official scorecards.

Trayvon Walker will be a bust

I want to say Trayvon Walker, just because like I'm a traits over production guy and that's what the whole draft is... we haven't seen it on field... What are we doing here? ... I would say if I would pick one bust, it would be him.

While Walker hasn't been a superstar yet, 'bust' is a strong term for a starter on a playoff team. However, his production remains low relative to his draft slot.

I'm rooting for the Cavs in the Eastern Conference this year... Because I want LeBron to lose again in the finals. I want the losses. I have the dream in my mind, the dream that Hank spoke out loud last year when he's like, what if LeBron ends up losing 10 NBA finals? So I am all in on the Cavs up until the finals.

LeBron's Finals record is 4-6, so he has not reached 10 losses yet.
