Fade Us Sports

The table is tilted: Phil Hellmuth is 2–6, Mike Matusow is 7–1, and the group is somehow angrier about special teams than quarterback play. Mike opens by melting down over the Rams/Colts rollercoaster, Woodley torches the Vikings’ front office, and Cantu turns their group text into a gambling court case. Then it’s into real picks: Colts -6.5, Vikings -3.5 (London), Lions -10, Chiefs -3.5, Broncos +4, and Cantu’s homer shot on the Seahawks -3. Expect shouting, side-bets, and one very vivid “Danny Dimes wins the Lombardi” dream.

They close with a Survivor strategy sprint—who to burn now vs. save later—including strong views on avoiding Arizona chalk, leveraging Minnesota’s London edge, and how injuries shift Thursday-night risk. Sign-off includes pool math, future on-deck landmines, and Phil’s reminder to, uh, fade Phil (this week). Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Mike unloads on Cantu’s betting habits mid-game, while Phil tries to hold the circus together from Reno.

From Cowboys–Bears shootout talk to Mike planting his flag on the Colts, to Phil breaking out his first over/under play of the season (Miami at Buffalo), every angle of the NFL slate gets dissected, argued, and roasted. Add in survivor pool banter and a few personal meltdowns, and it’s another week where fading us might just be the sharpest play of all.
