As the NFL Season enters Week 16, the MVP race continues to gain clarity, especially after standout performances over the past month from top quarterbacks Matthew Stafford, Josh Allen, and Drake Maye.

Meanwhile, the NFL Playoffs will look dramatically different than they have in over a decade, with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs relegated to spectators, and several mediocre wild card contenders currently holding onto spots in both the NFC and AFC brackets.

Veteran NFL Reporters Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier break down how MVP voters are viewing this race, and share their thoughts, as well as preview the Wild Card teams that division champions should hope are on the opposite sideline when the playoffs get underway, on the latest episode of The Between The Hashmarks Podcast!

After suffering debilitating losses in Week 14, the Philadelphia Eagles’ and Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl hopes and aspirations were effectively dashed.

While the Eagles remain the odds-on favorites to win the NFC East, structural concerns on offense raise major concerns that Philadelphia will be able to stave off a one-and-done postseason collapse similar to Nick Sirianni’s team’s 2023 calamity. And, the Chiefs face just an 11% chance of making the postseason, after dropping games against the Dallas Cowboys and surging Houston Texans over the past two games.

NFL reporters Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier hold an Italian Wake to mourn the Eagles’ and Chiefs’ Super Bowl hopes, while digging deep on what went wrong in Philadelphia and Kansas City.

Plus, a glance at which teams have the best chance to win the Super Bowl, what’s torpedoed the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens over the second half of the season, and much more on an action-packed edition of the Between The Hashmarks Podcast!
