On this week’s episode of the Heating Up Podcast, we’re riding the emotional roller-coaster: the New York Giants absolutely collapse in classic “how do you blow a 19-point lead in 6 mins” fashion, while the Dallas Cowboys actually bring some joy (yes, we’re shocked too). Sara is riding high, Mike’s “builder off-buy” mode is creeping back in, and I’m sitting there wearing my Giants despair face.

We then pivot into full throttle NFL Week 8 schedule breakdown — matchups, surprises, buys, red flags — and wrap it up with our signature Heat Check picks, where we go deep underdog and hope we’re finally turning it around.

What you’ll hear:

• How the Giants managed one of the most brutal collapses in recent memory. 

• Why the Cowboys’ bounce-back win (44-22) might actually be legit — or a trap. 

• The mystery in Buffalo: what’s going on (or not going on) behind the scenes?

• Deep dive: Week 8 games to watch, picks to worry about, holiday bye week helpers.

• Heat Check: our bets, our underdogs, our “this one’s hot” moments.
