The New England Patriots are headed to the Super Bowl, and it’s no mystery why. We break down how Mike Vrabel built an AFC powerhouse and what other NFL teams can learn from New England’s blueprint for success.
The Chicago Bulls get blown out by the Pacers — should that loss push them to pursue a blockbuster trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo? The guys debate both sides.

| 0:08.0 | Welcome to Dan Bernstein Unfiltered, and we are brought to you in partnership with My Bookie. |
| 0:15.9 | This is that time of year where as we start to get closer to getting closer to the Super Bowl, |
| 0:23.3 | we, we derive lessons about the teams that are there. And we sometimes use improper |
| 0:32.4 | inductive reasoning to determine why those teams are there. There's all sorts of bad lessons learned every |
