Colin’s joined by college football guru Josh Pate to preview the College Football Playoff Championship between Indiana and Miami. Colin predicts that unlike Oregon & Alabama, Miami’s defense should be disruptive and be able to keep Indiana from a point total in the 30s or 40s (2:00). They debate whether Indiana coach Curt Cignetti could be lured away from college football by the NFL (4:30). They discuss the huge disparities in finances between the Big Ten & Texas programs and SEC programs like LSU, Alabama & Georgia and without changes to NIL rules…could get left behind and perennially miss the playoff (6:30). They review all the star quarterbacks returning for the Big Ten & debate whether the gap between the Big Ten & SEC will be even bigger next year (9:30). They also preview Lane Kiffin’s upcoming tenure as coach at LSU and debate whether adding Kiffin will actually bring titles to Baton Rouge (11:30). They return to the national championship and discuss whether Carson Beck’s experience in the title game will give him any chance to outplay Fernando Mendoza (18:30). They break down the traits that will make Mendonza the likely #1 pick in the NFL draft, and agree that Indiana’s overall talent is underrated (21:30). Finally, they debate whether they’d tweak the NIL or transfer portal if given the chance and Josh argues for classman pay scales similar to what exist in the NFL and why that would help fix problems with the portal and that the “wild wild west” era of college football is bound to end soon (24:45).

The NFL playoffs have begun, so Chad Millman and Simon Hunter dive into their betting results from Wild Card Weekend, checking in on the gambling action after a thrilling start to the 2026 postseason. Games recapped today start with Saturday's games, as Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers played heroically in a loss to likely MVP Matt Stafford and the favored L.A. Rams in Charlotte. And naturally Chad and Simon enjoy a long discussion about Packers coach Matt LaFleur, as Green Bay broke the hearts of fans and NFL bettors alike in an agonizing loss to the Chicago Bears. Caleb Williams uses his heroics once again and the Bears advance to the Divisional Round. Moving on to the Sunday slate, we hear our host's recap of an instant classic, as producer Matt Mitchell's guarantee proved spot-on. Reigning MVP Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills won as small road favorites against the Jacksonville Jaguars, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence throwing a last-minute interception to seal their fate, sending coach Liam Coen home as a loser in his playoff debut. In the City of Brotherly Love, Jalen Hurts and the reigning Super Bowl winners Philadelphia Eagles made sure they will not repeat as champions. Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers were the better team in Lincoln Financial Field, with Christian McCaffrey putting on another stellar performance in what is likely receiver A.J. Brown's final game as an Eagle. And the final recap is from Sunday night, as quarterback Justin Herbert loses another playoff game with the L.A. Chargers, this time in Foxboro. His team put on a dreadful display, and Drake Maye and the New England Patriots deliver another playoff victory for coach Mike Vrabel.

They move to the Bills beating the Jaguars on the road. Colin declares Josh Allen is one of the greatest NFL players he’s ever seen, and they debate whether Jacksonville being one and done should be considered a success or failure. Colin explains why Trevor Lawrence is a good….but not great quarterback (25:30). They recap the Bears thrilling victory over the Packers and Colin compares Caleb Williams to a young John Elway, and that the Packers fans calling for Matt Lafleur to be fired are getting over their skis. They also preview the Bears divisional round game against the Rams and they agree the Bears could very well pull off the upset in front of a raucous home crowd (36:30). They agree that the Rams look like they peaked six weeks ago, and that their struggles against the Panthers show that they are ripe to be picked off in the playoffs.

Colin reacts to the Bears' massive comeback to beat the Packers, the Rams thrilling 34-31 win over the Panthers & Indiana’s win over Oregon in the CFP. He starts with the Bears recovering from a terrible first half to beat the Packers and points to the lack of a run game and consistent pass protection leading to the Packers downfall. He gives Caleb Williams credit for making some incredible throws and playing “John Elway” level ball in the fourth quarter (3:30). He moves to the Rams win over the Panthers and points to shaky special teams for the Rams, the Panthers big bodied receivers, and some reckless throws by Matthew Stafford as reasons the underdog Panthers were able to put a scare into the Rams. He explains why he never had a doubt the Rams would come back to take the lead on their final drive (20:45).
