Mid or Mighty? Week 5 Preview & Playoff Panic

Oct 1st, 2025 9:00 AM

Week 5 is here, and the NFL is already separating the pretenders from the contenders. Derek wonders if the SEC is actually mid, Caleb goes full Packers rant, and more teams get kicked to the curb in Eliminated Team of the Week. We break down the playoff picture, stamp the Bills’ ticket early, and dive into our Game of the Week: Patriots at Bills. Plus, Derek’s buying Steelers stock, Caleb’s selling the Titans, and Brodie Bets are flying with more confidence than a kicker named Matt Prater.Theme music by The Riley Brothers Band.

Week 4: Dart Starts and Broken Hearts

Sep 24th, 2025 9:00 AM

Week 4 is here, and we’re kicking things off with headlines that prove special teams can actually be… special? Gundy’s gone, Dart gets the nod, and college football rankings are doing the cha-cha with Derek leading the breakdown. Meanwhile, Caleb reflects on how age catches up to us all (spoiler: it’s undefeated).We hand out this week’s “Eliminated Team of the Week” badges—sorry Giants, Titans, and Saints fans, and yes, Derek is still side-eyeing the Bengals. Stockwatch is back with Hoosiers and Bills on the rise, while Malik Nabers’ fantasy managers might want to look away.Our Game of the Week takes us to Seahawks vs. Cardinals, with X-Factor spotlights on Grey Zabel and Trey Benson, plus a bonus Bengals vs. Broncos matchup because why not? And of course, Brodie Bets return, where Derek and Caleb attempt to prove that betting with handshakes is a legit strategy (jury’s still out).So grab your headset, your coffee, or your panic meter—it’s time for a fun, fiery, and slightly unhinged Week 4 preview.Theme music by The Riley Brothers Band.

Turf Toes, Panic Mode, and Week 3 Predictions

Sep 17th, 2025 9:00 AM

Week 2 is in the books, and it left us with injuries, chaos, and a few teams that already need a paper bag to breathe into. Joe Burrow’s toe taps out, Derek breaks down the hype train derailment (sorry, Arch), and Caleb celebrates Husker volleyball while side-eyeing the critics.We fire up the 0-2 Club Panic Meter Draft, debate which franchises should smash the big red button, and play another round of Stockwatch—Georgia Tech somehow lands in the “buy” column while the Bengals slide into “sell” territory.Our Game of the Week is Rams at Eagles, where Reed Blankenship and A.J. Brown headline the X-Factor watch. Plus, Brodie Bets return with the usual mix of hot takes, cold picks, and questionable logic (a.k.a. the good stuff).So whether your team is flying high or sitting at 0-2 wondering if it’s draft season already—grab a seat and join us for some laughs, bold predictions, and just enough panic to keep it spicy.Theme music by The Riley Brothers Band.

Field Goals, Fumbles, and Funny Business: Week 2 NFL Preview

Sep 10th, 2025 9:00 AM

Week 2 is here, and the NFL chaos is already in midseason form. We’ve got headlines that sound more like tabloid stories—Nick Bonitto cashes in, Cooper pulls a surprise retirement, and Jalen decides to… spit his way out of a game. Yikes.Derek and Caleb dive into The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (spoiler: Mike Gundy makes another cameo), play a round of NFL Stockwatch where Daniel Jones is somehow a “buy,” and debate whether Tua belongs in the clearance bin.Our Game of the Week is Jaguars at Bengals, where Evan McPherson’s leg and Brenton Strange’s hands might just be the X-factors. Plus, Brodie Bets are back—because nothing says football like picking against your better judgment.So grab a snack, fire up your dad-joke radar, and join us as we fumble our way through predictions, bad puns, and maybe even a good take or two.Theme music by The Riley Brothers Band.
