Summary

In this episode, Brian Custer fills in for Stephen A. and is joined by Ryan Clark and Dan Orlovsky as they react to the Browns clinching a playoff berth after beating the Jets last night. The crew debates if Joe Flacco's recent success is lightning in a bottle or something more. Plus, we debate if the winner of the Lions-Cowboys matchup is the biggest threat to the 49ers in the NFC. Dan and Ryan give their takes on whether they think Russell Wilson is being treated unfairly after getting benched. We give you our sportsbook predictions for this weekend's slate of games. We hear New Year's Resolutions from Mina Kimes and Marcus Spears. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
