Between The Pylons

This week, Between the Pylons, brings you their first look at the 2021 NFL Draft with the first mock of the year. In this way too early a version of the top 10 mocks, we discuss all of the biggest names that will be sought after by every NFL team. Along with breaking down the biggest names, we discuss the odds of anyone not named Trevor Lawerance going No.1 overall, will the Cowboys pull off the shock of the draft, and could the Dolphins pass on the top WR prospect this year.

Jacob discusses his raw reactions to the firing of Gus Malzahn and what the future may hold for the Auburn Tigers.

Will long shots like the Ravens, Patriots, and Eagles sneak into the playoffs? Can the Chiefs beat out the Steelers for the 1st seed and the only playoff bye? Does the NFC really run through New Orleans? Will the Dolphins hold onto their playoff spot down the stretch? The guys discuss all this and much more in a round table style discussion on the NFL Playoff picture.

The guys break down every possible outcome and give you their pick for who will end up in the postseason. Is there a path for the Dolphins to win a wildcard spot?

Between the Pylons plans to take a look at the playoff picture for the NFL over the next two weeks by diving into each conference. This week the guys focus on the NFC, including a breakdown of every division and looking in at the remaining schedule of the teams currently in tight races for division and wildcard races. Do the Vikings have a chance to sneak into the playoffs? Could the Rams concur the NFC West? Will the Bucs be able to outpace the Saints after being swept in their head-to-head matchups. Find out in this week's episode of Between the Pylons.

This week the guys start up an old segment from last year, where they close the book on teams that have no chance of competing this season. Early? Sure, but for these two teams, it was over before it began. Jon brings you both his unfiltered fan reaction to Tua's first real performance in the NFL as well as a far more leveled analysis of just how well he performed.

The guys close out the show as they so often do with our picks of the week along with our locks of the week. They added a new addition to this segment in which the guys also come up with some play prop bets that they may like.

This week Between the Pylons brings you their thoughts on the biggest stories from around Week 8 in the NFL and look forward to week 9 with their picks, including two locks of the week! They discuss the controversial call to pick a flag originally called on Antwon Winfield for pass interference on a 2 point conversion try that would have tied the game for the Bucs.

The guys also take a quick look at the 2021 Draft and specifically who will be in the running for the number 1 pick and the right to pick Trevor Lawrence with the first pick in the draft.

This week the guys discuss all the different angles of the trade deadline, including the most likely teams looking to add talent for a final push as well as players rumored to be on the move (there were technical difficulties during the Carlos Bunlap Convo, so it was cut from this pod). The guys also discuss Tom Brady and Antonio Brown's reunion in Tampa and how that will play out as the Bucs have become one of the best teams in the NFL. Tua is starting in Miami this week, so the guys also discuss the expectation for the former 5th pick in the Draft as he makes his starting debut in the NFL. As always, we finish out the show with our game picks. This week the guys disagree on 8 different games, so stay tuned for a somewhat contentious picks episode, but the guys did find two games they agree on, so stay tuned for our locks of the week!

With week 6 in the books, Between the Pylons breaks down all the biggest news in a round table discussion covering Bell getting cut and signing with the Chiefs, Tua Tagovailoa becoming the starter in Miami the possibility of the Falcons cleaning house. The conversation also encompasses the QBs from the 2017 draft that included Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, and Lamar Jackson. We discuss which teams may need to move on from the current signal-caller and an overarching discussion of just how much of a crapshoot the NFL draft is for the players being selected.

This week the guys dive deep into the ramifications of the Dak Prescott injury, including how the Cowboys fare this season, if Dak will be getting a long term contract any time soon, and consider other QB options for the Cowboys moving forward. The guys also discuss the recent firing of Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff, as well as discuss how hot the Adam Gase hot seat is getting. LeVeon Bell was cut just hours after finishing this pod, but the guys did discuss the trade rumors that we had heard and considered the best possible fits for Bell.

This week Jon lost the Shot bet when the Texans beat the Jags by more than 3 points in week 5. Stay tuned to see what bet the guys will be taking in week 6.

Between the Pylons ends the show by making every pick for Sunday's game, including two locks of the week. With a 75% success rate on the locks of the week so far this season, stick around to make extra money!
