In this episode we start by asking the big question: are the Seahawks actually the best team in the NFC? Then we dive into whether the Rams can still win the NFC West and if Matthew Stafford deserves real MVP consideration. From there, we react to Tua Tagovailoa getting benched plus a fun segment buying or selling which QBs will be Week 1 starters next season. We wrap up the NFL slate with our Week 16 predictions, then shift to the NBA — discussing the Knicks before closing with a breakdown of what’s going wrong with the Cavaliers.Timestamps:Intro 00:001.
