Benchwarmer Nation… Feast Week just delivered a FULL plate of chaos and we are here for every bite.

This week, Jimmy and Niko break down Rivalry Weekend across college football — the matchups that will decide the season, the CFP rankings we think the committee will screw up next, and the real contenders in the Heisman race heading into December.

Then it’s to the NFL where we talk about the biggest story of the week:

Joe Burrow is BACK.

What does it mean for the AFC playoff picture? And can the Broncos make a statement in a must-win matchup against the Commanders?

Plus:

🏀 College Basketball Feast Week preview

🏀 Nuggets early-season takeaways (yes, Niko finally gets to cook)

🏒 Why the Colorado Avalanche might be the best team in the NHL right now

We wrap with:

📊 NFL Week 13 picks

⭐ Player of the Week

🍞 Benchwarmer of the Week

If you’re a sports fan, this might be the best multi-league weekend of the year — and we’ve got every angle covered.

The Far End of the Bench is BACK! Episode 256 comes in hot as we dive straight into the wild late-season College Football Playoff rankings, who’s legit, who’s cooked, and who controls their destiny as chaos takes over the CFP.

We give the Denver Broncos the credit they finally deserve and break down where every NFL division stands heading into Week 12, plus our full slate of NFL picks.

Niko has been dying to talk about his Denver Nuggets and the start of the 2025 NBA season, and Jimmy breaks down whether the Colorado Avalanche officially have a goalie controversy with Scott Wedgewood staying red-hot between the pipes.

As always, we close the show with Player of the Week, Benchwarmer of the Week, and the moments you won’t want to miss.

The Broncos made the biggest comeback in NFL history with 33 points in the 4th quarter. Clearly things need to get better, but it always is nicer to correct a win than a loss. The guys both have practices to attend so it is a short episode after recapping that wild effort last week, and making new picks in the pickem. Jimmy has closed down the distance after a perfect 4-0 week to bring his season record to 21-6-1, Niko holds a half game lead at 22-6.

There are two truths in every coaches life, you will be hired and you will be fire. This week after another loss as a 20 point favorite Penn State canned James Franklin. The Broncos forgot to pack their offense but still come away with a win in London over the Jets. Stateside the Bengals still lost but Flacco with these weapons might become interesting. Plus when the leaves begin to fall the NHL is back and competing with the NFL season and MLB Playoffs. If you don't have time to watch it all, we do so tune in and check out for a bit!

With another week, the tables and luck continue to favor some in the NFL while we learn which teams are for real and which are not. Not only were there plenty of big moments to break down in a crazy week 6 of college football. The new formatted NFL Pickem also has a tight race as Niko and Jimmy are only separated by half a game, thanks to the tie a couple of weeks ago! Be sure to join in on the fun in the comments and on socials @FeOTBpod, and remember to subscribe and follow!

It has not been the start of the NFL season Jimmy pictured, both on the field and in the fantasy roster, both Niko and Jimmy were at Monday Night Football in Denver and it's safe to say there is one team with expectations with the other in free fall. It is also time to make #MLB Predictions since the playoffs are underway and we will be coming to a conclusion of the 162 game regular season very soon. Throw on top of that some of the best #CollegeFootball discussion in the history of this show and look at what we see coming down the track.

Weellllll that was no fun last week. Between the Bengals being treated worse than a $2 steak and the Broncos losing their 2nd straight game despite not trailing AT ALL in the 4th quarter we can use something to turn around. Like #Rivalryweek, the Bengals come to Denver on Monday Night Football and that means our hosts loathe each other right now. One is missing his QB and the other is searching for a win.

Plus what is up with the #CollegeFootball coaching circus? Mike Gundy is fired and are there other coaches that could be going the same way? Don't forget about Georgia and Bamameeting between the hedges and Penn State is hosting Oregon in a #WhiteOut. If it seems like a lot we are ready to cover it all #FeOTB #podcast
