Today, we breakdown the 4 NFL Divisional Round games on the slate for this weekend. What do the Jags need to pull the upset? (HINT: Everything....and more! But Dougie P will be ready.) The Bills-Bengals features two championship-caliber teams, but will it be a QB mistake that makes the difference? Will the third time be a charm for the Giants, as they head into Philly? Watch for Wink's blitz and the Eagles' response. Lastly, let's go into a time machine to the 90s for 49ers-Cowboys! So many keys and questions: Brock versus Micah Parsons; Dak versus the nasty Niners defense; Big Mike in a huge game; the Cowboys' ability to make the big plays. Plus, Brian gives his Best Bets.

With the news earlier in the week that the Chargers have parted ways with OC Joe Lombardi, Brian takes it upon himself to help Brandon Staley find the next playcaller for Justin Herbert. We give a list of potential candidates and tier them out.

On today's show, Brian recaps the weekend's playoff action. Baltimore blew a chance to upset Cincy -- what was John Harbaugh thinking at the end? And now, what's the future of the Ravens and Lamar Jackson? The Bengals advance but at what cost, as more O-line injuries emerge. We also talk about the Giants advancing and the 49ers doing it with Brock Purdy. But let's not forget the main event here -- the Chargers do what we all should have expected and lose a 27-0 lead! The Jaguars come back, Dougie P shows why he's got a ring, and now the Chargers franchise must ask and answer some difficult questions about their head coach and coaching staff. Plus, we wrap up with Bucs-Cowboys on MNF.

Champ joins Brian to discuss the Packers season-ending loss to the Lions, the offseason, and what might, what should, and what could happen with Aaron Rodgers. Then, the two examine the five head coaching vacancies and discuss which are the most intriguing -- and could two more open up after this weekend? Lastly, we wrap up by discussing all 6 Wild Card games this weekend.

On today's show, Brian hands out recognitions for all the major NFL awards. How'd Patrick Mahomes have such an outstanding season after an offseason where he lost Tyreek Hill?!! Why can't we recognize Nick Bosa and Justin Jefferson as legitimate MVP candidates? Who wins the very very crowded field for Coach of the Year? Sauce or Hutch for DROY? And a surprise OROY! Plus, we get into a few leftover storylines from Week 18, as we head into the playoffs.

The NFL regular season is over and it's playoff time! We'll talk playoff matchups and the schedule, but first we reflect on the 2022 season: big changes probably necessary in New England, Mike Tomlin just wins baby, and did Sean Payton's next job just open up in Arizona? Plus, Houston loses the number 1 pick in the NFL Draft and Lovie Smith, consequently, loses his job as Texans' head coach.

On today's show, we examine the Week 18 slate of games, but first we celebrate great news about Damar Hamlin. Plus, new pieces to understand with regard to the AFC Playoffs -- homefield, number one seed, neutral site title game, and coin flip to determine homefield in a potential Bengals-Ravens Wild Card Round game. We got more on the playoff picture: Lions-Packers-Seahawks for the 7-seed in the NFC, Patriots still with a shot (???!!!), Jags-Titans for the AFC South crown, and we have Best Bets (based on player incentives).

Brian discusses Damar Hamlin and what we saw on Monday Night Football.

On today's show, Brian wonders aloud how anyone could trust the Bucs this weekend against Carolina. Plus, we get a good one on MNF -- Buffalo at Cincinnati. Could this be the Game of the Year? Then, we examine some other Sunday games -- Packers' magic versus Vikings' magic, Tomlin on SNF against a hated rival, and the Washington Commanders entrust their playoff hopes to Carson Wentz. Plus, we give out some Week 17 Best Bets.
