The NFL is already separating the contenders from the pretenders, and Throw Up Tackle is trying to make sense of the chaos. THE! Mario Washington, The Dok, and LJ debate whether Josh Allen and the Bills are the class of the league, which teams are already in serious trouble, and what to make of the Chiefs, Seahawks, 49ers and Rams after the opening weeks of the season.

Then sports and culture collide as the crew dives into the controversy surrounding Macklemore being dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour and debates the role NFL owners played in the decision. Somehow that turns into Chris Brown, Kanye West, Master P and Silkk the Shocker before the guys finally get to their Week 3 NFL picks, including Panthers-Browns, Ravens-Cowboys and Eagles-Bears.

It’s NFL Week 3, and THE! Mario Washington, The Dok, and LJ are back to put their picks on the record. The crew debates whether Carolina can keep things rolling against Cleveland, whether Deshaun Watson is actually playing better than people think, and whether Houston is already facing a must-win situation. Then things get heated over Ravens-Cowboys as LJ continues to question Lamar Jackson while still believing in America’s Team.

The guys also get into the struggling Steelers, the surprising Raiders, Rams-Broncos and Monday night’s Eagles-Bears matchup, where Mario refuses to pick against Chicago no matter who is playing quarterback. And because it’s Throw Up Tackle, somehow the road to Week 3 also includes Hot Boyz, Silkk the Shocker, O.J. Simpson and plenty of completely unnecessary side conversations.
