The guys are back with another episode of Dad Bods, Crab Cakes & Sports, and the Baltimore Ravens have plenty to talk about.

The biggest question: Can the Ravens win without Lamar Jackson? The guys break down Lamar's injury, whether Tyler Huntley can keep Baltimore competitive, and how the Ravens should approach their upcoming matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.

Then comes the big Ravens news: Baltimore traded for Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Cam Jurgens. The guys debate whether Jurgens can return to his Pro Bowl-level form at center, what went wrong for him at guard, and whether the trade finally gives the Ravens the offensive-line upgrade they've desperately needed.

The NFL conversation continues with the Falcons' surprising start, Drake Maye's recent play, Tyler Shough's future, Josh Allen's rough game, and the possibility of Tyreek Hill returning to the NFL.

The guys also dive into the MLB playoffs, including the Brewers-Padres thriller, the Yankees-Rays series, the Dodgers, the White Sox, Jose Ramirez and World Series predictions.

The guys are back for a Saturday night edition of Dad Bods, Crab Cakes & Sports — and with Mike Friskey away hiking in the Maryland mountains, John Landskroener and Jason Weisbecker take over and cover a whole lot of sports.

The Baltimore Ravens are preparing to face the Tennessee Titans, but the biggest question isn't the opponent — it's whether Baltimore can survive another wave of injuries along the offensive line. John and Jason debate whether the Ravens made the right decision letting Tyler Linderbaum leave, discuss the emergence of Vega as the emergency center, and break down what the offensive line could look like against Tennessee.

They also preview the Ravens-Titans matchup, including Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Cam Ward, Jeffrey Simmons, Trey Hendrickson's injury, and the Ravens' keys to victory. Can Baltimore protect Lamar, establish Derrick Henry and keep Cam Ward contained?

Then it's time for the full NFL Week 5 picks. The guys make their predictions for Colts-Commanders, Rams-Eagles, Packers-Buccaneers, Jaguars-Bengals, Cowboys-Texans, Cardinals-Giants, Patriots-Bills, Jets-Bears, Dolphins-Vikings, Chargers-Seahawks, Broncos-49ers, Chiefs-Raiders, Lions-Panthers and Falcons-Saints.

The conversation then moves to MLB playoff baseball, including the Yankees-Rays pitching duel, the Dodgers-Braves, White Sox-Guardians and Brewers-Padres. John and Jason discuss the Yankees' controversial baserunning mistake, playoff pitching, potential World Series matchups and whether the White Sox can keep their surprising postseason run alive.

Plus, the guys talk college football, including Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, Indiana, Miami, Georgia, Texas, Notre Dame and the developing College Football Playoff picture.

And because Mike isn't around, John takes over the dreaded Dad Joke of the Night with a hockey joke that Jason absolutely does not approve of.

The Ravens survived an absolute thriller against the Cowboys in Brazil, and the guys break down everything from Lamar Jackson’s late-game heroics to Zay Flowers’ heads-up play and Tyler Loop’s game-winning field goal.

Jason, John and Mike debate whether Baltimore actually suffered another fourth-quarter collapse, discuss the Ravens’ offensive-line problems after losing two centers, and examine whether the defense’s pressure is enough when they aren’t finishing plays with sacks and tackles.

Then it’s on to the rest of the NFL. Which teams have surprised us through three weeks? Are the Jaguars for real? What’s happening with the Chargers, Lions, Patriots and Texans? And who could be the last undefeated team standing?

The guys also dive into fantasy football, including waiver-wire targets, injuries, and Jason’s continuing adventure in his guillotine league.

The MLB playoffs are underway, and the guys make their early postseason picks before turning their attention to the Baltimore Orioles. What does Baltimore need to change this offseason? Should the Orioles prioritize bats or pitching? Could Steven Kwan, Randy Arozarena or another veteran outfielder fit? And what should the organization do differently with its minor-league hitting development?

Plus: the Dancing with the Stars Ravens hypothetical, Mike’s self-published children’s book, plenty of “Your Majesty” punishment, and Mike’s latest dad joke.
