Description

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off with a deep dive into the wildest NFL Sunday that we've seen in years. Four of the week's biggest favorites - Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints - all got beat outright. None of it made any sense. The Tennessee Titans rolled over Matthew Stafford and the Rams despite generating less than 200 yards of total offense, the Cowboys went scoreless for 3.5 quarters in Dak Prescott's return to action, and Josh Allen and the Bills couldn't score an touchdown against the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars. Give the way the season has shook out with, it's almost impossible to tell who the best team in the AFC is on a week-to-week basis. The Bills have hit a rough patch, the Chiefs are wildly mediocre, and neither the Ravens nor the Titans seem to pass the eye test. Interestingly enough, the biggest 'winners' on this crazy Sunday were two guys who didn't even play - Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. While the rest of the up-and-coming quarterbacks (Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott) continue their roller coaster seasons, the two elder statesmen in the NFC just keep rolling along churning out good week after good week. What's more, both the Broncos and the Browns were able to put together arguably their best performances of the year after ridding themselves of two of their most prominent players: Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr. Speaking of OBJ, rumor has it he's narrowed his preferred destination down to 3 teams... and none of them makes a ton of sense. Finally, the guys close the show with a very special Pittsburgh Steelers vs Chicago Bears Monday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.
