Football: A Podcast

Welcome to Football: A Podcast!

Zack's all alone this episode as Bill and Matt are off attending to familial responsibilities. This episode, as a result, is a crisp 30 minutes. 

Week 13 picks are preceded by a discussion of Antonio Brown's suspension and how his case is different from that of Aaron Rodgers. 

Update on the Pick Standings coming next week.

Welcome to Football: A Podcast. 

Thanksgiving is the best holiday because of the "Four Fs" -- Football, Food, Friends, and Family, in that order. 

We give thanks to our favorite players and discuss the best memories of the NFL's national holiday. I can't believe we forgot to mention the Butt Fumble, to be honest. 

Also, Week 12 picks. 

Season Standings ATS:

Bill: 87-76

Zack: 79-83

Welcome to Football: A Podcast. 

The OBJ Experiment is off to an excellent start, which prompted a discussion on "Winning" and "Losing" NFL players. 

We discuss the evolving Browns disfunction as well as the tight standings across the league. Other topics include fantasy football misery, Cam Newton, Seattle's strong performance in defeat, the Chargers' Sunday Night "home game", and odds of the Giants surprising the Buccaneers. 

Season Standings ATS:

Bill: 77-71

Odell Beckham Jr. is a clunky fit with Los Angeles and his signing should annoy Rams fans. There's a better chance he ends the year as a healthy scratch than as a Super Bowl winner. 

The Bills loss on Sunday showed they have issues, but we debate whether they're "serious issues" yet.

We also discuss the state of NFL officiating before giving our week 10 picks. The Ravens loss to the Dolphins means we all start 0-1. Thanks, Baltimore. 

Season Standings ATS:

Bill: 73-61

Zack: 66-67

Matt: 62-71

Welcome to Football: A Podcast. 

We jam-pack our takes and picks into the shortest, most efficient episode to-date. We've more accurately picked games this season than Cynthia Frelund, Mike Clay, Ryan Fowler, Pete Prisco, Jamey Eisenberg, Jason La Canfora, Ben Volin, and almost everyone at NFL Network. 

Not to @ anyone in our midseason check-in. 

We give our condolences to everyone involved in the tragic Henry Ruggs III incident before questioning if the role of Commissioner has grown too big for Roger Goodell. 

Other discussion topics include: the Browns sudden yet inevitable meltdown, the path to a 49ers victory, the Titans' post-Henry season, and the pressure facing the Chargers this week. 

Season Standings ATS:

Bill: 67-52

Zack: 62-57

In the last segment of the show we discuss whether Andy Reid is a bottom-five coach this year. The case against him is solid. 

Other topics include: Sam Darnold's pivotal week, Tua Tagovailoa's poor play, endorsing an MVP candidate, the Bengals' rise to power and Kyle Shanahan acting like his father. 

Matt also executes the greatest segue in show history. 

Season Standings ATS: 

Bill: 58-46

Zack: 55-49

Matt: 50-54

Welcome to Football: A Podcast.

There's something for everyone in this week's episode, including way too much talk about the Lions and Bears. 

We also discuss Browns fans, Kyle Shanahan's toxic work environment, Dan Campbell's emotional rollercoaster, fantasy football, relaxed Derek Carr, and the upset-minded Cincinnati Bengals. I have no idea how the episodes get longer as more teams have bye weeks. 

Season Standings ATS: 

Bill: 50-41-4

Zack: 47-44-4

Matt: 42-49-5

Welcome to Football: A Podcast.

Buckle up, folks. Jon Gruden's resignation is just the start of a controversy that will lead to others losing their jobs. It may ultimately even engulf Roger Goodell. 

We also take time to share our appreciation for fans of American football in the UK. We love the #3amClub.

Other topics discussed: Derrick Henry's workload, Jason Garrett's play calling, the Bengals-Lions alternative universe, Trevor Lawrence turning on Urban Meyer, and how the Browns can beat Arizona. 

Season Standings ATS: 

Zack and Bill: 42-35-2

Welcome to Football: A Podcast.

We justly pile on Urban Meyer. His broken moral compass and lack of self-awareness deserve as much criticism as his dereliction of duty. Shad Khan doesn't escape judgment either. 

Everyone argues about if, or how badly, the Kansas City Chiefs get beaten this weekend. 

Other topics discussed: A potential Chicago upset, Odell Beckham Jr.'s impact on the Cleveland offense, the Eagles' ability to push the Panthers, the Dolphins potentially covering, and the underrated season of Daniel Jones. 

Season Standings ATS:

Zack: 34-27-2

The prodigal son returns home to New England, but there will be no slaughtering of the fattened calf in this retelling. 

Why talk about the game when you can digress into a fit of laughter talking about how Tom Brady and Bill Belichick will take turns insulting each other during and after the game. 

Matt and Zack give their Week 4 picks amid discussions of Matt Nagy, Calvin Ridley, Josh Allen, John Gruden, the Pittsburgh Steelers and rookie quarterbacks. 

Season Standings ATS: 

Zack: 26-19-2

Bill: 24-21-2
