Welcome back to the Heating Up Podcast, where football meets frustration therapy.

This week, the crew unpacks the madness of NFL Week 8 — from blown calls and busted knees to coaches calling plays like they’re trying to lose on purpose.

Sasha vents about the Giants’ heartbreak and ref controversies, Sara can’t stop smiling after the Cowboys finally remembered how to score, and Mike returns from his “Builder Bye Week” only to declare the Bills officially mid.

The gang dives deep into:

•  Referee disasters that changed the outcome of multiple games

•  Cam Skattabo’s injury and how it nukes the Giants’ already cursed offense

•  Cowboys coaching decisions that made Sara giddy and Sasha sick

•  Betting breakdowns: why this was the underdog week

•  Week 9 previews — Colts, Packers, and Jags on the rise while the 49ers limp to the bye

•  Heat Check segment: the picks, the parlays, and the heartbreaks

If you like your football with a side of rage, sarcasm, and degenerate optimism, this episode’s for you.
