We're back and we start by discussing the last two weeks of football. Michigan beat Wisconsin, but should they have played better? Brett asks if Bryce is progressing fast enough. Will Michigan beat USC this week and does the conservative nature of Michigan's offense have anything to do with Sherrone Moore's return? The Lions expectedly beat up on the Browns and Bengals, are they the best team in the NFL? Do we have any concern going forward or was week 1 a fluke? The Tigers have tied up the ALDS, but can they actually win it all? Which version of the Tigers will show up in game 5? Who is to blame for the inconsistent offense?

Just kidding, Michigan and the Lions are back!We discuss the last wins of both teams, starting with Michigan's impressive win over Nebraska. What did we think of the Bryce's performance and what does it mean going forward? Is it coincidence or an alarming trend Michigan has played it's best without Sherrone Moore? The Lions are back on track after the win over the Ravens on MNF. What did we think of the performance? Any negatives? And is this sustainable going forward? How much of the Lions success should be attributed to Dan Campbell? The Tigers might not make the playoffs after being up by over 8 games less than two weeks ago. Will they still make the playoffs? And where is the leadership in the clubhouse? I host athlete 20 questions. Follow us on X/Bluesky @MotownFamilySR
