The NFL season is finally here, and that means it’s time to make some bold predictions in the Man Cave!

Dan Kasper is putting his crystal ball to work with his complete 2026 NFL predictions. He’s picking every division winner, laying out his playoff field, predicting the Super Bowl matchup and champion, and making his picks for MVP, Coach of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year and more.

And yes… Dan is riding with the Green Bay Packers to win the NFC North. But how far does he think the Packers can go?

Before getting into the predictions, Dan kicks things off with a fun sports question: What would you wait hours—or even camp out—for as a sports fan? From Super Bowl tickets to Brett Favre autographs and once-in-a-lifetime golf experiences, Dan reacts to some of the answers from listeners.

Then it’s time to put the predictions on the record:

🏈 AFC & NFC division winners
🏈 Full playoff predictions
🏈 Packers and the NFC North
🏈 Super Bowl matchup and champion
🏈 MVP and Coach of the Year
🏈 Offensive & Defensive Player of the Year
🏈 Rookie of the Year
🏈 Comeback Player of the Year
🏈 And a few VERY bold predictions

By the end of the season, some of these picks could look brilliant… and some could look absolutely ridiculous.

Who do you think Dan is getting right? And what are YOUR bold NFL predictions for 2026?

It’s time to get back in the Man Cave!

Dan and Brandon are back with another episode, and this time they’re putting their sports knowledge—and their nostalgia—to the test.

First up, it’s another round of the Man Cave draft game as the guys build their ultimate five-man teams of NBA centers from the 1990s. Shaquille O’Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo and plenty of other ’90s big men are on the board. Who built the better team? That’s for YOU to decide!

Then it’s time to roll the dice again. The game lands on Mount Rushmore, the topic is sports video games, and the era is the 2000s (2000–2009). That means it’s time to dig into the games that defined Dan and Brandon’s high school and college years—from classic football and basketball titles to the sports games that dominated the era.

Which four sports video games deserve a spot on the ultimate Mount Rushmore of the 2000s? And what games are you picking?

Shaq, Hakeem & The Greatest ’90s Centers

The sports card market is always changing, and this week on The Man Cave Podcast, Dan Kasper catches up with Ty from Slab Factory to break down what’s happening across the hobby.

Are collectors moving away from prospecting and back toward established legends? Ty explains the rise of the “GOAT market” and why cards featuring names like Michael Jordan, Barry Sanders, Peyton Manning, Shaquille O’Neal and other all-time greats are starting to see renewed interest. The guys also discuss whether there could ever be another Tom Brady-type investment and why Brock Purdy could be an intriguing name for collectors.

Then they dive deep into the world of grading and authentication, including the controversial Mike Baker Authentication “Diamond Crossover” certification, PSA’s blue autograph labels and the massive premiums attached to Beckett Black Labels. You’ll also hear the incredible story of a Pokémon card that sold for more than $200,000 because only two copies received a Beckett Black Label.

Ty also brings in some of his latest pickups, including a Christian Watson one-of-one autograph, Penny Hardaway inserts and some examples of how collectors can find cards priced below recent sales.

Plus, Dan and Ty talk about how to properly research card values, why you should pay attention to actual sales instead of eBay asking prices, how tools like Card Ladder and 130 Point can help, and a simple trick for determining whether a player's overall card market is trending up or down.

If you're a collector, investor, flipper or just getting back into the hobby, there's plenty to take away from this episode.
