Former NFL scout John Middlekauff is reacting LIVE immediately following the Week 9 Thursday Night Football matchup between Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens vs. Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins. John kicks off by reacting to Lamar Jackson's dominant performance on TNF and debates whether the Ravens were treating the 4th quarter of the game like a practice to get Jackson into rhythm for the stretch run of the NFL season. John then discusses whether the Dolphins will relieve head coach Mike McDaniel after this embarrassing loss as their playoff hopes become smaller. John then declares that Ravens are putting the Pittsburgh Steelers on notice in the AFC North. Next, John discusses who's inder the most pressure in Week 9: Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, Minnesota Vikings QB JJ McCarthy, Buffalo Bills, or Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams. John wraps up with Fugazi Friday where he reacts to Michael Jordan's NBA on NBC contributor role & debates if candy still tastes the same.
Later John is joined by betting guru, Stuckey from The Action Network to break down the upcoming weekend in both college football and the NFL. They dive into the biggest matchups, key storylines, and deliver their expert insight on where the value is for bettors.
