The NFL is playing eight international games in 2026. Rich played the show's Win-Loss Game on every one of them just to spite the people who think the league has gone too far overseas.
Week 1 in Melbourne, 49ers-Rams.
"Rams," Rich said. "They're number one on my power rankings list."
Cowboys-Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. Rich was already locked in.
"Cowboys," Rich said. "And the Ravens will just have to blame it on Rio."
The cast wandered into the 1984 movie. Mike Caine and Demi Moore. Eventually Matt Williams' wife. Eventually back to the 2001 World Series Game 7.
Colts-Commanders in London. Commanders. Rich agreed.
Jaguars-Eagles in London. TJ liked the Eagles. Rich went the other direction.
"I'm going to have them lose to the Eagles, but beating the Texans," TJ said. "I'm going Jags Jags back to back."
Rich pushed back on the Jaguars.
"Jags don't, Jags win in Wembley," Rich said. "They got their asses blown out in Wembley last year."
The Jaguars are nominally the home team for the London piece. Rich noted that did not help them last year either.
"The Jaguars stayed put and the Rams came last minute and destroyed them," Rich said. "Because they had the MVP on the team."
Steelers-Saints in Paris was where Rich made the heel turn.
"I'm taking Aaron Rodgers in Paris," Rich said.
The room rejected the call.
"What greater story is it than an Irishman who was a former toll taker in Pittsburgh winning in France?" Rich pitched.
The cast countered with the Saints' best identity story.
"The Florida Lee," someone offered. "That's actually French."
Rich kept the Steelers.
Bengals-Falcons in Madrid. TJ went Falcons, citing a contract he claimed not to have yet. Rich went Burrow.
"I'm hooked on Burrow phonics, man," Rich said.
Patriots-Lions in Munich. Rich went Lions.
"That's such a Lions game right there," Rich said.
TJ tried to claim the Munich game as a home game for the Patriots.
"You're technically on the road," Rich said. "We're technically the Patriots. I know it's a Patriots market."
The cast called out TJ.
"Let's be honest, we know he's an analyst who doesn't like the Lions anyway," the cast said.
49ers-Vikings in Mexico City. Niners.
"They'll be hopefully with Kittle and everybody healthy," Rich said. "Hopefully back by then."
Rich flagged the Kyler Murray history.
"Kyler Murray has beaten the Niners before at home in Santa Clara," Rich said. "But I think Mexico City's going to be different."
The bit closed with Rich's own acknowledgment.
"Talk about things we shouldn't be doing in May, but we're doing in May," Rich said.
