Jupiter GC Lynx will never win a TGL championship

The Bears, Saints, or Chiefs will win the Super Bowl next year

The Chiefs, the Bears and the Saints because since 2020 the only Super Bowl winners have been the Chiefs or NFC teams getting their second Super Bowl in franchise history. So that leaves us the Chiefs, the Bears or the Saints for next year. So I like that. I like my chances there.

JMU making the CFP will force a rule change to ensure it never happens again

JMU getting into this playoff, they will rewrite the rules for the playoffs. So this never happens again. And you'll be fine... But they're very upset that the ACC did not advocate strongly for Notre Dame.

Rule changes for the 12 or 14-team playoff often follow controversial seedings.

If you were trying to buy stock in something, there might be a spot where you could buy some stock in the Niners. 'cause they might, there's a chance the Niners could rip off some wins here in the next few games.

The 49ers' performance in the games against the Cardinals, Panthers, Browns, and Titans would determine the correctness.

JJ McCarthy's a perfect quarterback where you can look at it and if you wanna look at it glass half full, he could be the greatest quarterback of all time.
