Today we are joined by Cameron as we discuss the following topics:

- OSU segment: Clemson vs OSU wrap-up. Season Analysis. Alabama vs OSU matchup problems.

             - Big Ten had 4 teams that ranked top 10 all FBS in red zone, rushing defense and overall ranking (OSU, Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Indiana.)           Do not underestimate the level of competition OSU faced this year in a shortened season, They are battle tested. In addition, we saw OSU display something most teams underutilize and SEC teams are not ready for....the proper use of the TE position. Look out for OSU's tight ends to exploit open spaces up the middle. 

- Browns Playoff football: We are confident in the Browns in the matchup against the Steelers. Their keys to victory against them. What we consider necessary off season adjustments.

           -  At some point we have to admit that over the last 20 years the Super Bowl title has run through the AFC (Brady, Manning, and Big Ben have been in over 14 of the last 18 Super Bowls) . The future of the league ( Mayfield, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Watson, Burrow, maybe Tua? Eyes are on Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields possibly joining the AFC this summer) will once again lie in the hands of the AFC. Has bad drafting and poor GM decisions handicapped the NFC? What has held back their development (See Wentz, Mitchell Turbisky, Derek Carr, Kirk Cousin and Garappolo as examples.) 

- NFL playoffs: Packers, Buccaneers and more.

         - The Green Bay Packers should win this year's NFC championship and punch their ticket to the Super Bowl, anything less will conclude a 10 year run of missed opportunities for future HOF and future 3 time MVP Aaron Rodgers. He is too elite of a talent to be afforded this many unsuccessful trips to the playoffs in a weak division they have won multiple times and are preseason favorites in every year. 

- Who our Dark Horses are in the NFL playoffs are.

- Our upset and predictions for the playoffs. 

On today's episode we are joined by Jacolby (known on Twitter as @__Colb__). We discuss the development and creation of relationships through social media. Colb is a member of Elite Media, a growing sports network created by black sports fans for black consumers.

Colb talks about podcasting while working a 9-5 and helping build Elite media. One of Elite Media's first big affiliates, the Play for Keeps podcast, made a big splash a few months ago by getting a huge interview with Kevin Durant and quickly garnering attention from Kendrick Perkins while live on ESPN for their growing appreciation for high school basketball sensation, Emoni Bates. Tune in to hear our thoughts about the remaining topics below:
