00:00Have the Baltimore Ravens lost since I said at 1 in 5 that they were going to run the table?

00:04No.

00:05Have they lost?

00:05No, but I didn't ridicule that.

00:07You mocked me, you attacked me, you questioned my football knowledge.

00:11It's okay, you were not alone.

00:12But at 1 in 5, there was only one guy in America that had the temerity, the balls, if you will,

00:19to make a prediction like I did.

00:22Because I know ball.

00:24And what did I do?

00:25I told you at 1 in 5, they were not only going to come back and win the division,

00:30they were going to run the table.

00:33Yeah.

00:33And it did look great yesterday.

00:35Lamar Jackson tried his damnedest to give the Cleveland Browns the victory

00:39after having ample opportunity to score a lot of points,

00:42turning the ball over, throwing bad picks, throwing late, throwing all over the place.

00:46But alas, they won the game by four.

00:48They knocked Dylan Gabriel out and Shadier Sanders stunk also.

00:51And now we wake up this morning.

00:53And the prediction has come true.

00:57No, it hasn't.

00:59Because the Baltimore Ravens have now rocked off four consecutive wins.

01:03They're 5-5.

01:05Aaron Rodgers broke his wrist on his non-throwing hand.

01:09He might still play with it.

01:10They're going to make that determination by midweek.

01:13But the Steelers are not great, even though they blew the Bengals out yesterday

01:16without Aaron Rodgers in the second half.

01:18But at some point, you're going to have to come around to the fact

01:21that the best team in the AFC, not the Indianapolis Colts,

01:26not the New England Patriots, the Baltimore Ravens coming for you.

01:31And my guy, Lamar Action Jackson, who was terrible yesterday,

01:36was still good enough when he had to be.

01:39And Derrick Henry was good enough when he had to be

01:43to win their fourth consecutive game and get back to .500.

01:48And there was now a game out of first

01:50and a game out of the last wild card spot as well.

01:54It's on.

01:55Like Donkey Kong.

01:57You can hear it.

01:58You can hear it.

02:01Those are the hoofs.

02:02Those are the hoofs of the Baltimore Ravens.

02:05The hoofs of the Ravens.

02:07They're flying.

02:07Yeah.

02:08They fly.

02:09No, a Raven's a horse, man.

02:11A Raven is a bird.

02:14No, not this Raven.

02:15Quote the Raven nevermore.

02:17Yeah.

02:18No, no.

02:18They got hooves.

02:20Now, if we're going to be fair here,

02:21and I'll even ignore the you're always right thing.

02:25I don't feel like arguing with you about that.

02:27Sometimes you just got to wait.

02:28There's seven more games.

02:30Win, win, win.

02:31Win, win, win, win.

02:33Now, you say that.

02:35Uh-huh.

02:36But you know you're not correct, right?

02:37You know they're not going to win 11 straight, right?

02:39I mean, we do a segment here.

02:40We can do it next if you want to do it after that.

02:42It's a short segment.

02:43But coming up in a few minutes,

02:44if you want to bring back Spot the Lie,

02:47I got no problem.

02:47If you want to tease that, go ahead.

02:49Yeah, because.

02:50Spot the Lie.

02:50Who are they losing to?

02:51I'll tell you who they're going to lose to.

02:52Go ahead.

02:53They're going to lose to the Patriots.

02:54Oh, stop it right now.

02:55The Patriots beat up on the Jets, on the Dolphins.

02:58The New England Patriots are going to end the season

03:01with a grand total of two wins

03:03against teams that have winning records.

03:04That's one of them.

03:05And I know we do a fregazy schedule

03:07for some dopey reason, but the reality is that.

03:10No, it's up there.

03:11Oh, did we change it?

03:12I can't see it.

03:12We have all the opponents.

03:14There's the Jets, the Bengals, the Steelers,

03:16the Bengals again, the Patriots, the Packers,

03:20and then the Steelers.

03:21They're not winning out.

03:22That's all I'm saying.

03:23They're not winning out.

03:24I can't see the screen there, but I'll help you out.

03:26The Cincinnati Bengals suck.

03:28Okay, that's a given.

03:28We agree on that?

03:29Yes.

03:29They're not losing to the Cincinnati Bengals.

03:31Let's just agree on that as a mountain principle.

03:33They're going to beat them twice.

03:34The Green Bay Packers lost at home to the Carolina Panthers.

03:39They did.

03:39And then they lost at home last week as well.

03:44Yeah, they did.

03:44They lost to the Eagles last week.

03:46And they barely beat the New York Giants.

03:49Yeah.

03:49Okay?

03:50In New Jersey yesterday.

03:51Like the Ravens barely beat.

03:53Okay, but the Green Bay Packers have not looked great.

03:55They haven't.

03:56They're good enough to be a playoff team,

03:57but they've not looked great.

03:58They haven't.

03:58So the Ravens were in that game.

03:59Who else?

04:00The Patriots?

04:01Patriots haven't played anybody.

04:02And they're going to split with the Steelers.

04:03The Steelers stink.

04:04They're losing one of those games.

04:05They're losing two games before the end of the year.

04:07That should be enough for the postseason, though.

04:0912-5, division champions, round one at home.

04:14Uh-huh.

04:14And nobody wants to go to Baltimore in mid-January

04:17to have to win a playoff game.

04:19I'm telling you now.

04:20And I told you, to be fair, Tyrone, you'll back me up on this.

04:24At 1-5.

04:25You did.

04:25When everyone else was counting them out

04:27and firing Hallblatt, which I also agreed with at the time.

04:30Yeah.

04:31And everyone's out questioning,

04:32well, is this team ever going to be good enough

04:34to get to a Super Bowl?

04:36I stood here kind of like Braveheart.

04:39Me against the world.

04:41Braveheart.

04:41That's right.

04:42I consider myself a warrior, like Braveheart.

04:45And I said, it's never happened in the history of football before

04:50where a 1-5 team somehow, someway,

04:54came all the way back and made the playoffs.

04:56And I said, they'll do more than that.

04:58They're going to run the table.

05:00They're going to run the playoff table.

05:02And it's the Baltimore Ravens that will be standing tall

05:05in the Super Bowl this year.

05:07here.

05:07I'll see you next time.
