This week’s Yankee highlights include all the reaction from the team’s end-of-season press conference, plus Brian Cashman’s fiery interview on Evan and Tiki, as the GM fired back at Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez’s comments about the front office’s role in Aaron Boone’s job. Plus, Keith McPherson went off on the team’s “negligent” handling of Anthony Volpe’s injury.

BT & Sal take a call from a fired-up Giants fan who is "geeking" for Sunday's game in Denver, confidently predicting Big Blue will "put belts to ass on these Broncos!" The hosts fuel the hype by zeroing in on the key matchup of the game: Giants star Andrew Thomas against the league-leading sack master Nick Benito, who has already trash-talked the Giants' "delusional fan base." The guys are eager to see if Benito can back up his words or if Thomas will send a message. They also discuss the need for the Jets to win for the sake of becoming less relevant and getting out of the spotlight.

It's Week 7, and the Perfect Parlay standings are getting tense! Sal (80 points),BT (25 points), and Hoff (40 points) dive into their NFL picks, with Sal desperate for a comeback. BT, looking for "redemption," lays a three-team parlay on Dallas and Philly to get right, plus a weather-driven Under in the Miami-Cleveland wind storm. Sal fires back with a massive four-team teaser (including a Jets +1.5 win over the Panthers and laying the points on Denver), which he calls his "Kill Shot" pick. The trio also squares off on the straight-up winners for the New York games: the Jets and Giants! Who will emerge from the Week 7 betting battlefield with a lead?

BT & Sal connect with "You Better You Bet" host and betting insider Nick Kostos to break down his favorite wagers for NFL Week 7. The conversation is dominated by the Giants (+7.5) at Denver, where Kostos is leaning Big Blue on the points but remains unconvinced they'll cover due to the Broncos' stellar defense. The trio fiercely debates the AFC hierarchy, with Sal putting a steak dinner on the line that Denver will win the division over Kostos's Chiefs. Kostos also outlines why the NFL's upper echelon is wide open this year, names his AFC favorites, and drops an intriguing player prop bet on Jets rookie WR Arian Smith to score a touchdown against Carolina.

BT & Sal erupt over the news that Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers are reportedly $$250 million apart in extension talks, arguing that the ace is now "100% going to be traded." The hosts declare that Steve Cohen's Mets must go "all-in" immediately to acquire the best pitcher in baseball, even if it means immediately signing him to a record-breaking deal. They debate the price, with BT slamming the Tigers' reported demand for top prospect Nolan McLain but ultimately agreeing that you trade the prospects for a generational ace. The duo asserts that Skubal is the definitive piece the Mets need to return to World Series contention.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery Week 7 NFL Power Rankings debate, revealing a chaotic landscape with surprising teams cracking the top five. Sal's shocking list has the Chiefs at number five and the Packers rising to number four, while BT makes an impassioned case for the Patriots at number five and defends the Colts at number four, citing their massive $+78$ point differential—a number that stuns both hosts! The ultimate clash comes at number one: Sal elevates the Buccaneers to the top spot based on their consistent success, but BT goes all-in on a projection bet, naming the Denver Broncos as the best team in the NFL thanks to their elite defense, sparking a major disagreement on the AFC's wide-open nature. The hosts debate whether current results (reaction) or future expectations (projection) should rule the rankings.

BT & Sal torch the New York Jets, labeling them a "bottom-of-the-barrel" franchise whose organizational dysfunction destroys every participant—from young QBs to established veterans like Aaron Rodgers and coaches like Todd Bowles. They point to the irony of former Jets failures (Flacco, Mangini, etc.) succeeding after leaving. Sal argues the singular problem is owner Woody Johnson, demanding he "sell the team" and direct the spotlight onto the "endless carousel" of failure that starts at the top. The hosts debate if Aaron Glenn's "Parcells-like" demeanor, combined with a 0-6 start, is "wearing thin" on the locker room, stressing that a win is desperately needed to quiet the noise and reinforce his message.

BT & Sal debate the massive implications of the Giants' Week 7 trip to Denver. Is this tough matchup the perfect "trial by fire" to prove they are legitimate contenders, or are they more "vulnerable" after a big win? They break down whether a victory over the elite Broncos defense would catapult the Giants into a "different bracket," making the rest of the NFC East sweat. The hosts fire back at Giants fans who are underestimating Denver based on the Jets game and question the overreaction to QB Jaxson Dart after only three starts. The segment is fueled by "Belt to Ass" talk and the high-stakes reality of the Giants' biggest game of the young season.

BT and Sal discuss the rapidly building beef between the Giants and Broncos leading up to Sunday's game in Denver. Jaxson Dart's flashy confidence, "eye black on one eye, the chain," and Kayvon Thibodeaux's "Goodfellas" GIF have drawn fire from the Broncos, including a now-deleted "delusional fan base" tweet from star Nick Bonino. The hosts analyze whether the Giants, still viewed by the league as a non-elite team, are ready for a "step up in weight class" against the NFL's best defense. While Giants fans are feeling "Giants Pride" and expecting a win, BT warns they may be in for a "rude awakening," making this the ultimate test of the team's new, young identity.
