Summary
On today’s episode, Jason discusses his level of optimism surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers heading into the postseason after their thrilling AFC North-clinching win over the Baltimore Ravens, which AFC teams he's betting on during the Wild Card round of the playoffs, why the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets seem destined to be cellar dwellers again in 2026, why he has zero confidence in Sam Darnold and the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks making the Super Bowl out of the NFC, and how the firing of head coach Raheem Morris by the Atlanta Falcons could set off a chain reaction of NFL coaching changes on Black Monday.
