Gerald McCoy receives credit for predicting Oklahoma could beat Texas if the game stayed close, a forecast the upset validated.

The brief

The Cowboys’ defensive players-only meeting after a loss to Tampa Bay prompts a basic leadership question: does it create accountability, or simply relocate the blame?

Milwaukee’s 3–0 NLCS lead over Los Angeles puts its varied pitching and Jake Bowers’ exhausting at-bat at the center, while a small-market World Series raises labor questions.

Oklahoma’s upset of Texas sharpens the debate around Arch Manning, whose interceptions, draft ranking, surname, and maturity all complicate the case for leaving early.

The panel weighs New England’s recent success, Drake Maye’s form, and Mike Vrabel’s leadership against Buffalo’s stronger long-term credibility in the AFC East.

Gerald McCoy’s prediction that Oklahoma could win if the game stayed close becomes a standout example of the panel’s pregame read proving prescient.
