Nate Tice & Matt Harmon decide whether they're buying what these ascending NFL playoff contenders are selling through 7 weeks of the season. The two hosts kick things off with their takeaways from the two Monday night matchups, as the Detroit Lions steamrolled the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the back of Jahmyr Gibbs, while the Seattle Seahawks overcame some sloppiness to demonstrate their viability as a true NFL contender this season in their win over the messy Houston Texans.

Next, Nate & Matt take a deep dive on six ascending teams and decide whether to buy or sell them as true playoff contenders. The duo unpack the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Giants and Chicago Bears (with a nod to the Los Angeles Rams at the end).
