Run The Table

The guys make their first mock draft of the year! With the down week between the championship games and the Super Bowl, this was the best time to give you our first one. A lot of big moves in Bryce's mock draft. No trades in Obert's. A lot of great players are talked about. Some names you'll recognize, others you won't know quite yet, but will become much more familiar in the coming months. 

The guys start the episode recapping the divisional round. Josh Allen plays terribly and brings into question which tier of QB he's truly in. Dak Prescott is getting undeserved flack for a bad season. He's been great for his career and this season doesn't change that. Daniel Jones, on the other hand, is not the guy to build your franchise around. If the Giants want to be a true competitor next season, they need a new QB. A team that doesn't need a new QB is the Jaguars. They are coming for the AFC next year. Joe Burrow sure does get a lot of credit for the playoff wins without having any great playoff performances. Brock Purdy is not an upper tier starting QB and the Cowboys provided the blueprint to make him uncomfortable. Then the guys pick who they think will play in Super Bowl 57. 

We talk the four games this weekend. We give you some of our hang ups and some of our reasons who we think is going to come out on top. Can the Jaguars answer the bell two weeks in a row, or will the Chiefs experience give them the edge? How do the Giants attack the Eagles, and how big of an advantage is that bye week? Will the Bills and Bengals fix some of the things that steered them wrong last week or will we see a sloppy game with a lot of mistakes? It's the battle of the biggest brands and two really good defenses. In the battle of the coordinators who will outduel the other? Really fun weekend of football is right there.

The guys give their thoughts on Super Wild Card weekend. Brock Purdy played mediocre, let's not crown him yet. Dak played maybe his best game as a Cowboy and it was when they needed it most. Both the Chargers and Justin Herbert are to blame for their missed opportunity. Doug Pederson was in his bag and Trevor Lawrence has potential to be 1B to Patrick Mahomes. Jim Schwartz is not Obert's favorite person, but he like the aggressive defenses. The Lions retain Ben Johnson, which could mean their first ever NFC North title. Tom Brady and the Bucs weren't good and MNF proved it. The Vikings defense was even worse than we thought it'd be. People need to stop being so insecure about their QBs. 

This episode is pretty straight forward. The guys each make their pick for all of the wildcard games, advancing to the divisional round, championship games, culminating in the Super Bowl and ultimately the winner of it all. There are some interesting picks in here, so you won't want to miss it. Allegiances are definitely tested. 

We run through the gambit of topics, discussing the National Championship, and NFL week 18. Georgia earned both of these National Championships, TCU definitely belonged in the CFP - that was not the team we saw Monday night, Michigan is still better than Ohio State - no matter what your marker sniffing friend tells you, the SEC is sorry for grabbing the coattails of Georgia, and expansion is the best thing that could happen to this sport. On the NFL side of things, Aaron Rodgers should be embarrassed for what happened Sunday night, the Cardinals rebuild will take a while, the Cowboys needed this wake up call, if Tua plays the Dolphins might pull the upset, the Browns need an adult on the defensive side of the ball. the NFL refs need to be held accountable, Jared Goff is the future at QB for the Lions, Brandon Staley makes some head scratching decisions, Bengals fans have this new elitist/snobby personality that is annoying, and the Texans have messed their future up BIG time.

The guys are ready to go for the final game of the college football season. TCU vs Georgia for all the marbles. This isn't the same Georgia team as last year, it seems as if they'll have to rely on Stetson Bennett and the offense to win this game. But, that Georgia defense is still very good. Will the TCU offense be able to take advantage. Both offenses are missing a key piece, which one responds better? The TCU defense was burnt a lot against Michigan, but made key plays when they needed to. They were the difference makers in that game. Check out the entire breakdown right here.

The final regular week of the regular season is here and the guys talk about and pick eight of the most key games of the week. Saturday Night Football Titans/Jags will be one to watch. Then on Sunday hear the guys talk about Patriots/Bills, Ravens/Bengals, Jets/Dolphins, Browns/Steelers, Giants/Eagles, Cowboys/Commanders, and Sunday Night Football Lions/Packers. Also hear the guys lock and underdog for the week.

It's a long episode, but there's a lot to be discussed. We talk both CFP semi final games. We start with our takes on Michigan's disappointing performance. Who is really to blame for the loss? We talk about referees and how they need to be held accountable for their actions. We talk about TCU and their awesome performance. Bryce claims it's the greatest story in college football history. We switch gears to talk about Ohio State and their oh so close national championship appearance. Is Jim Knowles the most at fault? CJ Stroud shot his name up the draft boars, we talk about his performance. We also talk about Georgia finding a way to win even though they are not the same juggernaut they were last season. We add some things about Bowl Season and Jim Harbaugh, also talking about USC's performance in the Cotton Bowl. Then we talk about the tough situation revolving around Damar Hamlin. We give our thoughts on his situation as well as the NFL's decision to postpone the game. We transition from that to give some thoughts on the Vikings and Dolphins. We talk about playoff scenarios and how the Jaguars are the team no one wants to face. Meanwhile, Bryce thinks having the 5 seed is better than the 1 in the NFC this season. We finish it off talking about Brian Daboll as coach of the year and Jarrett Stidham's amazing outing in a loss to the 49ers.

The guys talk about the Fiesta Bowl and Peach Bowl matchups, specifically what each teams path to victory is. Can TCU stop the Michigan ground attack with their 3-3-5 defense? Will JJ McCarthy play like he did in the Big 10 Championship game? For Georgia, can they be the first team to repeat in the CFP era, even with a worse team than last year? Ohio State is playing with house money at this point. Will they let it all hang loose, or will they suffer the same fate as so many other teams before them? Then the guys get into the nitty gritty of the NFL. Can the Patriots take advantage of a Tua-less Dolphins team? The Bucs vs Panthers part 2, but one team is playing pretty good football, the other one, not so much. The Jets and Seahawks are fighting for their playoff lives, but with Mike White back, will the Jets right their recent woes? Aaron Rodgers will almost assuredly find a way to beat the Vikings and stay alive for the playoffs. And then one of the best MNF games you will ever see, the Bengals and Bills square off with the #1 or #2 seed on the line. Who will come out on top?
