About this episode

John opens the podcast reacting to the Chargers taking down the Broncos in an exciting Thursday Night Game. John talks about how impressive Justin Herbert is and how people seem to always forget that Herbert is in the group of the best QB's in the NFL. He also talks about how well Denver looked despite losing the game. Later, John dives into the latest with Woody Johnson and how him making decisions based on Madden Ratings isn't as crazy as you might think.

Lastly, the College Football Playoff is here and John Middlekauff is joined by ⁠ The Action Network sports betting expert, Stuckey, to share their best bets for the CFP and Week 16 in the NFL. The fellas start the show giving their picks for the first round of the CFP: Indiana-Notre Dame, SMU-Penn State, Clemson-Texas, and Tennessee-Ohio State. Finally, the guys give their NFL Week 16 bets: Texans-Chiefs, Steelers-Ravens, 49ers-Dolphins, and Rams-Jets.
