On today’s show, Pat, AJ Hawk, and the boys chat about last night’s Thursday Night Football game between the Rams and the Saints, and how the Rams are turning into a team that nobody wants to play come playoff time, before previewing the entire NFL week 16 slate and making their picks against the spread. Joining the progrum to chat about last night’s game, some of the marquee games this weekend, and if teams like the Chiefs and Eagles can turn things around before the playoffs is former NFL GM, 3x Super Bowl Champion, NY Times best-selling author, and host of the Lombardi Line/GM Shuffle podcast, Michael Lombardi (21:27-53:28).
