Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the action from the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs!

They start with the Bills holding on to beat the Ravens, why they don’t put the loss on Lamar Jackson, and why it was turnovers that sunk the Ravens. They credit the Bills gameplan for not asking Josh Allen to do too much and playing extremely physical football (3:00).  They look ahead to the AFC Championship between the Bills and Chiefs and make their picks for the game and predict the winner will hoist the Lombardi trophy (13:45).

They pivot to the Eagles beating the Rams and Colin credits Saquon Barkley for being “spectacular” and one of the best running backs he’s ever seen. They give kudos to Eagles GM Howie Roseman for building an incredible roster that the Rams struggled to keep up with (23:30).

They debate whether the Lions are destined to take a step back in the coming years if they lose two coordinators to head coaching jobs and whether the Lions need to draft a quarterback (38:00). They discuss the incredibly bright future for the Commanders being able to surround superstar rookie QB Jayden Daniels with talent while he’s on a rookie deal (42:00). 

 They give kudos to Travis Kelce for being able to “turn it on” in the biggest moments including his huge performance in the Chiefs win over the Texans, and why the NFL needs to tweak the rules around unnecessary roughness after two questionable calls (56:15).

They warn Lions OC Ben Johnson against taking the head coaching job for the Raiders and debate which job he should prioritize (1:05:45). 

Finally, they preview the National Championship between Ohio State and Notre Dame, debate whether Notre Dame has a chance to upset the Buckeyes, and wonder whether Marcus Freeman should consider one of the NFL head coaching openings (1:20:30).

Colin reacts to the Commanders upsetting the Lions on the road to make it to the NFC Championship (3:30)!

He calls Jayden Daniels the best rookie quarterback in the history of the NFL and praises his unbelievable poise, and issues caution to teams that are sure Lions OC Ben Johnson is a “sure thing” as a head coach .

Then, Colin reacts to the Chiefs beating the Texans 23-14 to advance to their seventh straight AFC Championship (23:30).

He addresses the controversy over the two calls made against the Texans for roughing the passer on Patrick Mahomes and why those calls should be baked in. He admits the Chiefs don’t play perfect football but are lethal when it comes to punishing mistakes made by their opponents and why the Mahomes/Kelce connection is officially greater than Brady/Gronk.

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “Breakfast Ball” on FS1!

They start by debating whether Mike McCarthy is the head coach that makes the most sense to lead the Chicago Bears and turn around the career of Caleb Williams (3:30), and whether the McCaskey family would ever be willing to sell the team (7:00). 

Then, they make their picks for the full slate of upcoming NFL playoff games (13:45)!

Colin reacts to the Rams dismantling the Vikings in the last game of wild card weekend!

He explains why the past two games have downgraded Sam Darnold from a 50m/yr contract to something more similar to a Baker Mayfield-esque 30ish million/yr deal. He heaps praise on the Rams defense, specifically Jared Verse and dives into why the Rams will give the Eagles a real game (4:00).

Finally, he discusses the potential of Deion Sanders landing the head coaching job for the Dallas Cowboys and why Jerry Jones would be enamored with the “buzz” Deion could create around the Cowboys and his ability to sell tickets (15:00).

Then, Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and out” to break down all the early Sunday NFL action from wild card weekend!

They start with the Eagles smothering the Packers despite a pedestrian showing from Jalen Hurts and why the early turnover by the Packers forced Jordan Love into more reckless throws that eventually sunk them (18:00). They heap praise on Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and that they are “his” team (26:45). 

They pivot to the Bills crushing the Broncos in a game they call “unwinnable” for Denver while the Bills looked flawless and believe THIS is the year the Bills are best equipped to make it to the Super Bowl (32:30).

They talk about why the Mike Vrabel/Patriots pairing is a match made in heaven and Colin predicts massive improvement for the Pats next season (55:30). 

Finally, they address the fires in Los Angeles and Colin expresses his disgust with the politicization and criticism of the response from people who don’t live in or understand LA, but also address some reservations they both have about issues with governance in California (1:07:00).
