In today's podcast:

John makes his official predictions for Week 12 in the NFL, including the Thanksgiving Day matchups that feature the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys, and the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings.

John enters the week with a 104-59-1 record straight up and 84-74-6 against the spread.

In today's podcast:

John discusses why the New York Jets disqualified themselves from the playoffs following a pitiful performance in a 10-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, why Patrick Mahomes added another chapter to his historic career with a thrilling 30-27 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night, and why the Eagles' path to victory over the Indianapolis Colts is significant going forward.

Then, he discusses everything going on with the College Football Playoff, with the Ohio State vs. Michigan game being momentous (again), and USC's return to prominence, and more. Then it's a discussion about Anthony Davis and the uncertainty with the Lakers this season, Ben Simmons returns to Philadelphia for the first time sincee the controversial breakup tomorrow night, and who is the team to beat in the 2022 FIFA World Cup?

Today, John makes his picks and prediction for all the games in Week 11 in the NFL, both straight up and against the spread, including big time matchups like the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings facing off in Minneapolis, and the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers going at it at SoFi Stadium on Sunday night.

In today's podcast:

John discusses a couple of critical takeaways from NFL Week 10, including the Bills' loss at home to the Vikings and the Raiders losing to the Colts in Jeff Saturday's NFL head coaching debut. He also discusses why there is only one real college game worth watching in terms of playoff implications, why the first month of the season proves things about the Lakers' mess and the Milwaukee Bucks having the best record in the Eastern Conference, and why the Astros, who won the World Series earlier this month, were the best team of his lifetime.

On today's podcast:

John discusses how the Green Bay Packers have fallen from grace this season, and why the latest debacle against the Detroit Lions is on a future Hall-of-Famer, why Patrick Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL, the Jets announcing themselves and why NFL fans who despise Tom Brady need to worry about a potential playoff run from Tom Brady.

Then, John makes his official picks and predictions for Week 10 in the NFL, and he has several underdogs having real chances to win this week.

In today's podcast:

John will discuss the impact of some of the biggest trades that went down before the NFL trade deadline, including Bradley Chubb going to the Miami Dolphins, T.J. Hockenson to the Minnesota Vikings, and Roquan Smith to the Baltimore Ravens. 

Then, John will make his Week 9 NFL Picks against the spread, featuring three games with double digit spreads, and a couple of key conference tilts, including a 2021 NFC Divisional rematch between the L.A. Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, two teams that have been challenged offensively this year.

In today's podcast:

John discusses the following topics from the week in sports:

49ers dominate the Rams, and should return to the NFC Championship Game.

Colts are a disaster and Frank Reich and Chris Ballard should both be fired.

The Buffalo Bills are Super Bowl favorites are a reason, and they demonstrated that last night vs. Green Bay.

Tennessee-Georgia is essentially a play-in game for the College Football Playoff.

The Pac-12 is gonna be spicy down the stretch.

The Astros have the pitching advantage in Game 3 of the World Series tonight against the Phillies, and John still sees the Astros winning the series in seven games.

The Lakers need Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Russell Westbrook all to show up on a nightly basis if they are to be taken seriously.

The Milwaukee Bucks are 5-0 and it's a reminder that Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best player in the NBA and they are laying the seeds on another title season.

In today's podcast:

John handicaps the 2022 World Series matchup between the American League champion Houston Astros, who won 106 games in the regular season, and the National League champion Philadelphia Phillies, who overcame a mid-season managerial change and a slew of injuries to stun the baseball world in a Cinderella playoff run despite being the last team to clinch a playoff spot after accumulating 87 total wins in the regular season.

But despite the largest difference in win total between the two participants in the 100+ year history of the Fall Classic, can Bryce Harper keep carrying the Phillies to the point where they are world champions in the next 10 days, or will the mighty Astros finally get their second title after near-misses in each of the past four years? 

In today's podcast:

John discusses why the matchup between the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday can be the best matchup on the schedule this weekend in the NFL, why the lack of accountability from the Buccaneers' organization has put them in the place where Tom Brady can run all over management, and why the 49ers are a dangerous team with Christian McCaffrey as they undergo their first full week together ahead of a key divisional tilt with the well-rested Rams.

Plus, Week 8 NFL Picks and Predictions.

Join John today as he makes his official picks for Week 7 in the NFL.
