In this week’s episode, we’re Crossing the 50—hitting the midpoint of the NFL season and breaking down who’s charging toward the end zone and who’s getting stuffed at the line. We dive into the World Series fallout, the biggest surprises and letdowns of the NFL halfway point, and the shifting landscape of college football as contenders start separating themselves. Plus, with college basketball finally tipping off, we take a first look at early storylines and teams to watch.

A little debate, a little chaos, and a whole lot of sports talk—strap in for another week of The Starting 5.
