The NFL season is complete! In one of the most dominant Superbowl performances in history, the Eagles dismantled the dynasty of the Chiefs. The "threepeat" is no more and Mahomes is mortal. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles D were just way too much for their postseason competition and we break down how it all happened in the final act. Hint: coaching matters.

Plus, we get a live look of the entire Superbowl production as our own House from the SMQBs was there!

As with all Superbowls the football game isn't the only thing. We check in on our prop bets. And we round robin our favorite ads.

Lots of feel good stories this week make for some good Lassos and a couple of buzzers too! Check out the Lombardi of pods!!

We have reached the final stage in the NFL, and the cherished Lombardi is up for grabs! Will it be the 3-peat of Reid, Mahomes and the Chiefs? Or can Saquon and the Eagles D complete some unfinished business in the rematch of Supe LVII. The boys break it down! Super Bowl LIX has all the makings of a titanic defensive battle.

What would a SuperBowl be without the Prop Bets?? The gang gives you the lowdown on some can't miss opportunities. We'll even give you the first song to be played by Kendrick Lamar at the halftime show! Our very own House will be on the scene rooting on his Birds and trying to take first, not last!

Then, play Taps music for the Dallas Mavericks and poor Pope. The jaws remain on the floor in this all time head scratching trade of Luka Doncic for AD and a bag of chips. What is happening in the NBA?!?

Plus, we have quite the roundhouse punch and kicks, along with some tearjerking lassos and some buzzer beaters too. House got the NFC Championship so he gets to shout out to you all this week, GO BIRDS!!! (The opinions of House are his and his alone and do not represent the opinions of the SMQBs.)
