IGNTR NFL Pick’em: Week 4 – Where Chaos Reigns, and the Vikings Are...Great?

Welcome to Week 4 of the NFL, where reality is officially broken and the Vikings—yes, those Vikings—might just be the best team in football (don’t adjust your screen, you read that right). Meanwhile, Joe Burrow is playing like he’s got more than just hair dye in strange places, the Jets are already looking at the 2024 draft board, and half the league is reconsidering whether tanking might actually be a solid strategy after all.

The Bears? Abandon hope. The Cardinals? At least you’re scrappy. But for the rest of you clinging to Super Bowl dreams? It’s time to question your life choices. Buckle up. Week 4 is here, and it’s weirder than Aaron Rodgers’ Instagram feed. Let’s dive in!

Welcome to Pickem Week 2, where the NFL drama is as rich as Dak Prescott’s contract! Speaking of Dak, the highest-paid QB in history showed up to Week 2 looking like a million bucks (well, more like $160 million bucks, but who’s counting?). Meanwhile, in Cleveland, the Deshaun Watson tragedy continues to unfold, as Browns fans are left wondering if they signed up for a quarterback or a soap opera.

But let’s talk about the real underdog: Baker Mayfield. Yes, the same Baker who was left for dead in NFL purgatory is now out there beating the odds and putting up a fight in Tampa Bay like he’s auditioning for a Rocky reboot. He’s out there slinging passes like it’s 2018 all over again!

And to all our growing subscribers, shout out to you! We might just be the most listened-to football podcast in Southern Italy—at least until someone fact-checks that. Keep tuning in for more hot takes, questionable predictions, and a healthy dose of football nonsense!

Moreover, we carve into the meaty topics of Super Bowl commercials and the ever-contentious overtime rules, analyzing each with the precision of a Caribou Coffee barista crafting the perfect latte.

Ending on a note that Minnesota Vikings fans know all too well, we dive into the heartache and hilarity that comes with the love of the game.
