Ohio State vs Miami, Upset Radar, And A Wild Week 17 Recap
Send a text
Stakes are high, spreads are loud, and the calendar is about to flip—so we went all-in on clarity. I open with a straight-shot preview of the College Football Playoff quarterfinals, anchored by Ohio State vs Miami. The question everyone’s asking: can Miami’s speed off the edge recreate the chaos that tripped Ohio State before? I lay out why Ryan Day reclaiming the play sheet, a healthier receiver room, and a quick-adjust plan should tilt the field against a defense that relies more on speed than deception. From there, it’s Oregon’s protection plan against Texas Tech’s front, a potentially soggy Rose Bowl that favors Indiana’s balance over Alabama’s one-lane offense, and a Georgia vs Ole Miss rematch where coaching continuity and four-minute football matter more than fireworks.
Then we rip through a no-fluff NFL Week 17. Houston flashed both ends of its identity—explosive starts, ice-cold lulls—and why that’s a playoff ceiling cap if it persists. Baltimore rediscovered inevitability with Derrick Henry, while Cincinnati looked like itself with Burrow dictating tempo. I get brutally honest about Steelers-Browns: over-obsessing on Myles Garrett’s sack record shrank the offense and bled away the red zone, turning a clinch into a coin flip in Week 18. Eagles-Bills came down to one decision and one miss on a clean read on a 2 point conversation. The Bears and 49ers traded haymakers as Caleb Williams and Brock Purdy each elevated, with San Francisco finding the lone defensive play that decides a classic. And on Monday, Stafford’s MVP case slipped, Bijan Robinson took over, and the Rams’ spacing problem without Davante Adams showed up in full.
We close with key headlines and injuries that can actually swing seeding and matchups, plus a quick map of Week 18’s must-watch windows. If you’re here for concrete edges—line play, red zone adjustments, weather leverage, coordinator impact—you’ll leave with a plan for your picks and a sharper view of who’s built for January. If it sounds like I’m nervous about Ohio State on New Year’s Eve, you’re not wrong; I’ve held the remote hostage before.
Enjoy the breakdowns? Tap follow, share this with the sports fan who argues back, and drop your upset pick. Your boldest call might make Friday’s show.
