- Mike's ironclad Ravens -3 vs. the "comical" Steelers.

- Cantu's bold call on Chiefs -5.5 as the Raiders embark on a full-throttle tank job.

- The ultimate NFC showdown: Phil backs the 49ers +1, while Woodley guarantees his Seahawks will smoke 'em.

- Phil's #1 pick: Bengals -7, leading to Woodley's hilariously savage AI-generated defense of the Browns.

- A rare unanimous pick as the crew backs Panthers +2.5 against a "quitting" Tampa Bay.

- Mike's "crazy" prediction for Dolphins +11, despite the Patriots' Diggs-fueled distractions.

- Plus, the crew unanimously backs the Vikings in a bonus pick that could win Woodley a long-shot bet!

 

Mikey also drops a sob story about his epic losing streak on long-term bets. Will his season-long picks finally turn around, or is he drawing dead?

- Mike hammers the Under 37 in the Chiefs/Broncos game, predicting a 27-3 blowout as Kansas City's season collapses.

- Cantu goes anti-homer with the Panthers +7.5 against his beloved Seahawks, bracing for an emotional letdown.

- Woodley, ever the tortured Vikings fan, takes Minnesota +7.5 against the "disastrous" Lions, clinging to hope.

- Phil stands alone, taking the Lions +7.5 as a revenge game against the "experts."

- Phil also backs the 49ers -3 over the Bears, citing San Francisco's unstoppable offense and Chicago's run defense woes. Woodley, of course, fades him with the Bears.

 

Round two gets even messier:

- A unanimous, yet 'weakest in history' pick for the Saints -2.5 at the Titans.

- Cantu, Mike, and Woodley all back the Bills -1.5 against the "disaster" Eagles, while Phil begrudgingly takes Philly.

- Phil backs the Bengals -7 over the Cardinals, but the rest of the crew sees an easy cover for Arizona.

#1 Picks:
• Mike: Lions –10 vs Giants — drops his favorite stat ever: 13-0 straight up and 13-0 ATS after a loss.
• Woodley: Giants +10.5 — instantly fades Mike’s square chalk.
• Phil: Lions –10 — agrees with Mike, says Detroit is “angry” and Dart “has swagger but not enough to matter.”
• Cantu: Seahawks –13.5 vs Titans — “Not a Homer pick… but Tennessee is cooked.”

Second-half chaos brings AI jokes, punt-of-the-year debates, and Cantu’s meltdown over the “worst slate of games ever.” The guys can’t agree on favorites, Woodley swears every bet is an underdog, and Mike still finds a way to yell about the Chiefs.

Mike “The Mouth” is scorching at 13–3, Phil’s trying to claw back, and Cantu’s picks arrive in absentia.

Phil’s #2 leans into Lions -8.5/ -9 vs. Vikings. We close with a spicy Survivor Pool dust-up (Indy vs. Atlanta debate, leverage angles, and Mike vs. Woodley receipts).
