On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by pouring one out for his beloved New York Jets now that they've officially been eliminated from postseason contention. It's become abundantly clear this season that Jets cannot be taken seriously in the AFC until they get their quarterback situation figured out, and if J-Mac had his druthers he'd be telling the powers that be to go all-in on Derek Carr in 2023. Later, Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) swings by to help discuss the Green Bay Packers' blowout win over the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings aren't a legitimate threat in the NFC but that doesn't make the Packers' performance any less impressive. Green Bay is surging right now and have the look of a dark horse Super Bowl contender heading into their de facto playoff game next week against the Detroit Lions. On the flip side, the Philadelphia Eagles continue to stumble without Jalen Hurts. Two weeks ago, Philly was considered a lock to earn the top overall seed in the NFC but that is very much in jeopardy heading into Week 18. Interestingly enough, the team that is most likely to steal the #1 seed - the San Francisco 49ers - looked pretty average themselves in a close win over the the lowly Las Vegas Raiders. This is really shaping up to be one of the wildest NFC Playoffs we've seen in years. Speaking of wild, did you see what happened on Saturday in the College Football Playoff semifinal games? Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines played an uncharacteristically sloppy game in their stunning loss to TCU while Ohio State came this close to upsetting the top-seeded Georgia Bulldogs only to be undone by what some are calling the worst kick in college football history. Seriously. It was that bad. Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special Monday Night Football (Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals) edition of the Best Bet.
