What's Wright - Best Of - Nick Wright's 2026 NFL Predictions, reaction to Clippers-Kawhi Leonard CATASTROPHE, Josh Allen hype TOO FAR
Briefed in the Sports Talk edition of Wednesday, 09 September 2026
What was discussed
NBA punishes Clippers for Kawhi Leonard scandal2:51
- Nick Wrightassertion
The NBA's punishment of the Clippers and Steve Ballmer is justified and will result in a decade-long decline for the franchise. Pablo Torre and his team deserve massive credit for their real journalism that forced the NBA's hand. The Clippers' loss of five first-round picks will prevent them from acquiring talent and lead to a decade-long winter.
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George Clippers era assessment14:53
- Nick Wrightassertion
The Kawhi Leonard and Paul George era is unequivocally the single worst large-scale transaction in NBA history. Kawhi Leonard and his representatives squeezed the Clippers into trading ten first-round picks and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for minimal playoff success.
Josh Allen hype and playoff performance critique24:05
- Nick Wrightassertion
Josh Allen should not be considered the best player in the league given his lack of a number one seed, Super Bowl, or first-team All-Pro honors. In each of the last four playoff losses, the opposing quarterback thoroughly outplayed Josh Allen.
- Nick Wrightopinion
The media narrative ignores Allen's lack of signature wins and consistent postseason shortcomings.
Baltimore Ravens 2026 season outlook31:24
- Nick Wrightassertion
The Baltimore Ravens will win the AFC North and secure the number one seed in the AFC. New head coach Jesse Minter, Derek Henry, and a motivated Lamar Jackson will drive the Ravens' regular season success.
- Nick Wrightopinion
The Ravens' schedule allows for a strong start, but he remains squeamish about their playoff limitations.
Polymarket odds conversion explanation36:43
- Nick Wrightassertion
Polymarket percentage odds can be converted to traditional plus-minus odds by dividing the opposite percentage by the trading percentage. Small percentage differences matter significantly for long-shot bets but less for heavy favorites.
2026 NFL division winner predictions41:19
- Nick Wrightassertion
The Bills, Ravens, Texans, and Chiefs will win their respective AFC divisions. The Eagles, Lions, Buccaneers, and Seahawks will win their respective NFC divisions. The Chiefs' defensive improvements and the Seahawks' underrated status support his division winner picks.
2026 NFL conference and Super Bowl predictions53:49
- Nick Wrightassertion
The Kansas City Chiefs will win the AFC and the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.
- Nick Wrightopinion
The Eagles and Seahawks are undervalued in the NFC, making them good value picks for conference winners.
- Nick Wrightassertion
The Chiefs will bounce back due to offensive line health, defensive improvements, and Patrick Mahomes returning to vintage form.
