On today's episode, Jason brings you wall-to-wall commentary on all the NFL Divisional Playoff round action. First, let's pour one out for Drew Brees who delivered what may have been his worst performance of the decade in what was likely the final of his career on Sunday night against Tampa Bay. Brees had 3 costly turnovers that ultimately sealed the Saints' fate, and Tom Brady and the Buccaneers were happy to capitalize. Speaking of Brady, he wasn't great, but he made the plays when his team needed them the most and walked away with the victory (as he usually does). All of that set the stage for the NFC Championship Game matchup that we've all been hoping more: Tom Brady vs Aaron Rodgers. Get your popcorn ready! In the early game, the Kansas City Chiefs found a way to get the win over the Cleveland Browns but the big story is the health of Patrick Mahomes. The reigning Super Bowl MVP left the game early with a concussion and now his availability for the AFC Championship Game is up in the air. Until we know if Mahomes is going to play or not, you should avoid betting on that game. Moving over to Saturday's action, the big story has to be the Ravens' coughing up the game to the Buffalo Bills. Justin Tucker never misses field goals in the playoffs... and yet he missed 2 on Saturday; Lamar Jackson never throws red zone interceptions... and yet he threw one that essentially ended the game. The Bills beat the Ravens fair and square, but given the way the game played out, Jason would bet on Baltimore again if they had a rematch. Finally, Jason closes the show with some thoughts on the latest head coaching hires around the NFL. The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers both made their choices official, but there's only one that fans should feel good about. Take a listen to find out which.

On today's episode, Jason brings you a full recap of the NFL's Super Wild Card Weekend action. First, how about those Cleveland Browns?!? Baker Mayfield and the boys steamrolled the Pittsburgh Steelers in what was easily the biggest upset of the weekend. Ben Roethlisberger looked washed and Mike Tomlin was completely out-coached by an interim guy on the opposite sideline. Sticking in the AFC, let's raise a glass for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson for earning the first playoff victory of his young career against the Tennessee Titans. What's more, Jackson was able to secure his first double-digit come-from-behind win on his career as well. It was a big day overall for the reigning MVP. In the NFC, after both the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured fairly easy wins in their Wild Card matchup, the stage is now set for Tom Brady vs. Drew Brees 3 in what should definitely be the marquee game of the Divisional round. Brady seems to be peaking at the right time and the Saints defense is still as nasty as ever so this one could be a classic. Later, Producer Rob joins the show to discuss what was easily the biggest story to take place off the field: Deshaun Watson's growing frustration with the Houston Texans. According to several insiders, not only does Watson want out, he's already got a new AFC landing spot in mind. Don't look now but the NBA's Player Empowerment Era may have infiltrated the NFL. Finally, Jason closes the show with a very special College Football Playoff Championship Game edition of the Best Bet. Joe Public is all over Ohio State in this one, so Jason would have to be crazy to take Alabama here, right? Take a listen to find out!

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by explaining why he had zero issue with Doug Pederson tanking the Philadelphia Eagles' Sunday Night Football game against Washington (and thus keeping the New York Giants out of the postseason). The Eagles did what they had to do to improve their draft positioning. Where was all the outrage when the New York Jets and the Jacksonville Jaguars were tanking for Trevor Lawrence? People were actually applauding it then. But now because the Eagles did it in their last game of the season folks have an issue? Stop it. Later, Producer Rob joins the show to help Jason preview this weekend's NFL Wild Card Weekend Playoff games. All signs point to the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers cruising to easy wins over the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, respectively. The Titans play zero defense and the Browns are too one-dimensional to keep with those two heavy-hitters in the AFC North. In the NFC, as crazy as it sounds, the Los Angeles Rams may be better off benching their franchise quarterback Jared Goff if they plan on beating the Seattle Seahawks. Goff has been brutal for the most of the season and now he's dealing with a broken hand. Bills-Colts and Saints-Bears aren't all that interesting, but the sneaky game-of-the-week may actually be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against Washington. Nobody actually expects Tom Brady and the boys to lose, but recent history is definitely not on their side. If you're a betting man, the smart play would be to tease that number way down. Finally, Jason closes the show by explaining why he's hoping that his beloved New York Jets buck conventional wisdom and take BYU's Zach Wilson in the draft instead of Ohio State's Justin Fields. Fields is a superb talent but the gap between he and Wilson isn't as big as you think, and the Jets would be wise to trade down, accumulate even more assets, and take the BYU signal caller as their quarterback of the future.
