On today's episode, Jason brings you a full recap of the NFL's Super Wild Card Weekend action. First, how about those Cleveland Browns?!? Baker Mayfield and the boys steamrolled the Pittsburgh Steelers in what was easily the biggest upset of the weekend. Ben Roethlisberger looked washed and Mike Tomlin was completely out-coached by an interim guy on the opposite sideline. Sticking in the AFC, let's raise a glass for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson for earning the first playoff victory of his young career against the Tennessee Titans. What's more, Jackson was able to secure his first double-digit come-from-behind win on his career as well. It was a big day overall for the reigning MVP. In the NFC, after both the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured fairly easy wins in their Wild Card matchup, the stage is now set for Tom Brady vs. Drew Brees 3 in what should definitely be the marquee game of the Divisional round. Brady seems to be peaking at the right time and the Saints defense is still as nasty as ever so this one could be a classic. Later, Producer Rob joins the show to discuss what was easily the biggest story to take place off the field: Deshaun Watson's growing frustration with the Houston Texans. According to several insiders, not only does Watson want out, he's already got a new AFC landing spot in mind. Don't look now but the NBA's Player Empowerment Era may have infiltrated the NFL. Finally, Jason closes the show with a very special College Football Playoff Championship Game edition of the Best Bet. Joe Public is all over Ohio State in this one, so Jason would have to be crazy to take Alabama here, right? Take a listen to find out!
