Dylan opens up the show with a preview of the Falcons and Texans matchup for Sunday and give Texans QB CJ Stroud some props as he is currently fourth in the NFL in passing yards and been efficient on third and fourth down conversions, something Dylan believes that the Falcons will need to work early to keeping Stroud contained.

Dylan briefly recaps some of the results of the MLB Wild Card matchups and most importantly, the Phillies and Marlins series as the Braves will have to face the winner and Dylan points out the performance of Phillies pitcher Zach Wheeler, who struck out eight, allowing five hits and no walks through 6.2 innings. Dylan adds that while the Phillies are starting to look good, he would prefer the Braves face them in the NLDS so they can get some payback from being eliminated by the Phillies last season.

Dylan wraps with a preview of Atlanta United’s matchup with Philadelphia tonight and with a win, United can pick up the three points and move into fourth as they look to reach the postseason. Dylan believes that the key for United will be getting onto the scoreboard first and having momentum in their favor early and putting more pressure on Philadelphia.
