Week 4 is here! Farbod rolls solo today and kicks things off with a record check, breaking down how our picks have gone so far, updating the Shot in the Bark standings, and seeing where our parlays stand heading into the weekend. With the board starting to even out, every game feels like it matters a little more now.

From there, we dive into the biggest games of the week. First up, a clash of styles in Salt Lake City as Texas Tech’s high-flying passing attack collides with Utah’s physical, ground-heavy approach on Big Noon Kickoff. Then it’s Auburn vs Oklahoma, where Jackson Arnold steps into the spotlight for a true measuring-stick game against Brent Venables’ defense. We also break down Illinois vs Indiana in what feels like a sneaky playoff-elimination matchup, and Nebraska vs Michigan… a game that could either expose the Nebraska or serve as Matt Rhule’s defining “statement win.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be Flagged for Discussion without our weekly picks. We’ve got our Shot in the Bark underdog plays, a full slate of Week 4 predictions, and the latest edition of the F4D Four-Legger parlay. The board looks dangerous this week, but that’s exactly when the most fun happens.

And it’s not just the games. We also hit the coaching storylines off the field: from Dabo’s fiery 54-minute press conference that felt like a crashout, to UCLA parting ways with Deshaun Foster, and Billy Napier already fighting for his job in Gainesville. There’s a lot to get into, and we’ve got it all covered in Episode 27.
