Miguel Cabrera will win the AL MVP

I think Miguel Cabrera is going to be the AL MVP because he's in that nice spot. He's like 33, maybe getting up there in years, little steroids, getting a little second life.

Jose Altuve won the AL MVP in 2017. Cabrera struggled with injuries and performance.

SMU is very good and could go to the Sweet 16, Elite Eight, or even the Final Four

I got two picks for tomorrow for you. URI, Round of Pick'em, and SMU. I love SMU. I've loved SMU all year. I think they're a very good team. I think they could go to the Elite Eight or maybe Sweet 16, or Final Four.

SMU (a 6-seed) lost in the very first round to 11-seed USC, 66-65, on March 17, 2017 (the day this episode was released).

Follow us tomorrow while we try to get rich... We're going to double at least, I'm going to say triple. Triple.

I think Tom Savage is a one-week wonder.

Tom Savage started the next few games for the Texans but was eventually replaced and never became a consistent NFL starter, proving he was indeed a temporary solution.

This week in the NFL will be a 'wonky' week where crazy things happen

I think there's gonna be a wonky week. It's one of those weeks where it's just like crazy things happen I just have a feeling... I just I feel like this is gonna be a wonky week.

NFL Week 13 2016 saw some upsets (Chiefs over Falcons, Bucs over Chargers), but wasn't exceptionally 'wonky' relative to NFL norms.

This is the week that Vegas really sticks it to people. And I think that it's going to come at the expense of a lot of home dogs.

In Week 13 2016, home dogs went 2-1 against the spread (Bears and Jaguars covered, Falcons did not).

Bet the unders for the Final Four because Houston's NRG Stadium is a very bad shooting stadium

Houston is a very, very bad shooting stadium. Very bad. It's in the big dome, the Reliant Energy Center, whatever the hell it's called. I think it went 7-1 unders last year when they played part of the tournament there. So take the unders... parlay both those unders you're off and running.

In the 2016 Final Four at NRG Stadium, Villanova shot a record 71.4% and the games were high-scoring. All three Final Four/Championship games went over or pushed high totals.
