It’s finally here, Super Wild Card Weekend. Boomer tried to talk about the NY Rangers but we shut his ass down. We talked about the Giants/Vikings and the coaching advantage the Giants have in this matchup. In the playoffs, historically, the Giants seem to find a way to get things done and the Vikings always seem to find a way to lose them. Jerry starts with Giants/Vikings and Daniel Jones talking about preparation and Saquon Barkley finally getting to the postseason. Darius Slayton loves him some Daniel Jones. Geno Smith talked about being in the postseason as he gets ready to face the Niners. Driving rains could be a factor in that game. Woody Johnson said he will spend money on a veteran QB. The Nets lost to the Celtics last night. And the Rangers beat the Stars in OT. In the final segment of the hour, if the Bills & Chiefs meet in the Championship game, it will be in Atlanta, in the dome. Gio loves the idea with the QBs most likely being able to go back and forth indoors.
Lamar Jackson is out again this week and Gio thinks he might not be playing because he doesn’t have anything guaranteed after this year. So if he plays and gets hurt, it will really hurt his contract offers in the offseason. Jerry returns for an update, but first Eddie the sports jockey won again last night. He also tweeted that he thinks Gio hates him. Jerry has audio from Boomer back in the day watching a Dolphins game because playoffs were on the line for his Bengals. Wink Martindale talked about playing old school football this weekend and Saquon talked about the difference between the playoffs and a regular game. The Bengals are the big dogs of the AFC according to them. Tom Brady had Roger Staubach and Steve Young on his podcast and they talked about playing longer than they did. In the final segment of the hour, Eddie the picks jockey calls in. He likes Kent State tonight.
Boomer thinks the Vikings will win by 3. Gio said he will be positive if the Vikings win and the Seahawks beat the Niners and the Bucs beat the Cowboys. Then he will be activated as a Vikings fan. Boomer said Gio has been edgy and lashing out this week. B&G do a solid job of breaking down every aspect of the Giants/Vikings upcoming game. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Saquon saying he won’t be nervous but will be hyped as usual. Jerry has audio of Colin Cowherd saying the Giants are not getting rid of Brian Daboll. No duh. Lamar Jackson is out again for the Ravens. Could Big Ben come back for one game to QB for the Ravens and beat the Bengals this week? Gio would rather have Ben over Joe Flacco or Zach Wilson to play this weekend. In the final segment of the hour, we played clips from Vikings play by play guy Paul Allen. He will join us in the next segment.
Vikings play-by-play guy Paul Allen joins us to talk Giants/Vikings and try to convince Gio that the Vikings have a chance. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Saquon, who was a Jets fan growing up, wanting to do what Mark Sanchez did to get them to the Championship games. Kirk Cousins doesn’t think about the lose and go home part of playoff games. Geno Smith said he and the Seahawks were confident all season. The Rangers beat the Stars last night in OT. In the final segment of the show, Wild Card Weekend NFL Picks!
