Prior to this weekend’s NFL divisional round matchups, the good folks on ESPN’s NFL Live made sure to make their predictions on all four games coming up for the weekend. While three of the games had predictions on both sides of the outcome, every pundit predicted that the Texans would leave Foxborough victorious over the second-seeded Patriots. It appeared that the pundits were none too happy that they all went with the Texans. Those predictions didn’t sit well with Patriots fans, and especially with rapper Cardi B, whose boyfriend is New England wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
And sure enough, as the Patriots wrapped up a 28-16 victory over the Texans at Gillette Stadium, Cardi (real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) took to social media to put host Hannah Storm and analysts Mina Kimes, Ryan Clark, Dan Orlovsky, and Marcus Spears on blast for all being on the wrong side of the outcome.
“What are y’all talking about?” Cardi screamed into her phone. “Nothing! Nothing!!”
NFL Live Pundits Take The Dunking From Cardi B In Stride
It’s not a surprise that Cardi B decided to dunk on everyone when the Patriots won, and the pundits took their wrong prediction in stride.
“Getting dunked on by Cardi B…an honor and a privilege tbh,” Kimes posted on X.

Clark responded to the post on ESPN’s Instagram account with five laughing emojis.
Spears admitted all five of them taking the Texans set them up for something like Cardi did if the Patriots won.
“This was locked and loaded and we deserve it,” Spears posted on X, followed by seven laughing emojis.

But then the former defensive lineman pointed out that they aren’t going to be right every time.
“Bruh I wish I did get em all right I wouldn’t be doing TV,” he posted in response to a follower acknowledging they could be right all the time.
