Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL action from week 11. The guys also preview MNF Dallas at Raiders
The episode recaps NFL Week 11, starting with the 49ers’ dominant 41–22 win behind Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey as they keep pace in the NFC West. The hosts break down Eagles–Lions Sunday Night Football, where Philadelphia won 16–9 in a defensive struggle marked by questionable officiating, Detroit’s 0-for-5 fourth-down failures, and one of Jared Goff’s worst performances as pressure forced errant throws and stalled drives. They discuss league-wide analytics trends, like Miami opting not to kick a late field goal in a 16–13 win over Washington, contrasting aggressive versus conservative decision-making. The NFC North race tightens as Chicago beats Minnesota, exposing concerns about rookie QB J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings’ sputtering offense, while Detroit still appears capable of rebounding despite injuries and a tough remaining schedule. Survivor pools saw minimal carnage, with the Patriots widely chosen and victorious; only small Falcons, Vikings, and a lone Chiefs pick were eliminated. The Chiefs’ 22–19 loss to Denver raises questions but the hosts still expect Mahomes to get them into the playoffs despite their 0–5 record in one-score games. Downgrades include Kansas City, Detroit, Tennessee and Minnesota; upgrades go to the Patriots, Bills and Bears as market ratings shift based on injuries and performance. Quarterback injuries pile up: Aaron Rodgers’ wrist fracture, Michael Penix Jr.’s aggravated knee, Justin Herbert’s uncertain status, Dylan Gabriel’s concussion leading to Shador Sanders’ debut, and Josh Jacobs’ non-season-ending knee issue. They highlight Jacoby Brissett’s NFL-record 47 completions in a loss to the 49ers, big receiving days for Michael Wilson and Trey McBride, and Purdy’s efficient three-TD outing. Looking ahead, the 49ers face a soft stretch versus Carolina, Cleveland and Tennessee. For Monday Night Football, the Cowboys visit the Raiders as 3.5-point favorites with a 49.5 total; Dallas’ explosive offense contrasts with its weak defense and Vegas’ struggling offense. The hosts expect points, leaning to Dallas’ team total over, Dak Prescott’s overs, Brock Bowers’ receiving overs, and even some Geno Smith passing props due to Dallas’ vulnerable secondary. They close with best bets: Cavaliers -6.5 in the NBA, Brock Bowers receiving and receptions overs, and laying the massive number with Oklahoma City against New Orleans after the Pelicans’ coaching change and poor form, expecting a blowout.
