#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.

#1 Picks

• Mike: Jaguars +3 at Chargers — “LA’s OL is a MASH unit, early-window body clock, I’ll take the points.”
• Woodley: Seahawks +3 at Rams — “Top-3 defense, special teams edge, Smith-Njigba ascendant. This is for the 1-seed.”
• Cantu: Rams -3 vs Seahawks — lifelong Hawk calling it against his own fandom.
• Phil: Ravens -8 at Browns — “They’re rolling; defense + Lamar = blowout.”

#2 Picks & Fights

• Mike: Falcons -3.5 vs Panthers — “three straight home games and a revenge spot.”
• Woodley: Chiefs -3.5 at Broncos — “must-win; Denver’s QB play was brutal.”
• Side skirmish: Cardinals vs 49ers — Woodley and Mike lean Cards live, Phil goes full contrarian: “Niners—too much talent.”

We close with Survivor: Cantu is still alive in Circa, ticket valued around $18K+, plotting holiday paths while Phil plays referee.

• Mike leads off hammering Packers -2.5 vs Eagles (immediately wavers when Woodley pushes back, classic)
• Woodley fires Eagles +2.5 and flexes his “I told you Minnesota was live” victory lap
• Cantu jumps in with Vikings +4.5 vs Ravens — O’Connell truthers unite
• Phil lays it big with Lions -9 at Commanders in full “Dan Campbell scare-'em straight” mode

Round two gets even messier:
• Mike GUARANTEES Saints +5.5 vs Panthers (prepare for screaming)
• Phil laughs and fires the other way with Panthers -5.5
• Woodley sprinkles pain with Raiders +9.5 in Denver on Thursday night
• Cantu trusts Colts -5.5 vs Falcons in Berlin — long-grass theory, don't ask

Survivor talk closes it out with Denver, Carolina chaos plays, and Phil trying to flex his final entry like it's a WSOP bracelet.

Mike “The Mouth” is scorching at 13–3, Phil’s trying to claw back, and Cantu’s picks arrive in absentia. We open on the Chauncey Billups poker–sports scandal, then dive into official picks: Phil + Cantu both love the Colts vs. Steelers, Mike pivots and later fires his #2: Panthers +14 vs. Packers. 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).

The Fade Us crew comes in red-hot — Mike (11-3) still on fire, Phil finally in the win column, and Cantu riding high after a 45-unit Sunday. But Woodley’s heart is broken after the Mariners’ collapse, and the opening rant spirals into chaos over Dan Wilson’s bullpen decisions and the worst coaching moments in football history. Then it’s on to this week’s NFL bets — Jets at Bengals, Giants vs Eagles, and why the Titans might be the worst team of the decade.

Plenty of arguments, a couple consensus picks, and a whole lot of trash talk from Mike and Cantu. As always — fade them at your own risk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Week 6 is here, and the table’s on tilt again. Mike’s heater continues, Phil insists he’s “due,” and Woodley somehow finds another way to justify betting the Vikings. The crew lights into Thursday-night disasters, red-zone meltdowns, and the eternal “fade or follow” debate. Phil promises a bounce-back, Mike loves road dogs, and Cantu rides his Seahawks until the wheels fall off.

The second half brings a wild survivor segment, mid-show prop bets, and an argument over whether Lamar Jackson is still elite. Expect yelling, sarcasm, and a few sharp betting insights buried under all the noise — just another Fade Us classic. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
