Ep. 5: Everybody Wins, Rodgers Makes History & We Talk Pink October
A rare week on the show — all four of our teams won. Aaron Rodgers joined Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning in the record books with his 90th career 3-touchdown game. The Packers put together their biggest win over the Bears since 2014. The Bengals survived a run defense that got gashed for 217 yards. And the 49ers won an absolute classic in Seattle to stay the last unbeaten team on our board at 5-0.
We're also catching up on something we should've mentioned weeks ago Pink October and the NFL's Crucial Catch campaign before diving into a real debate: with a record nine international games this year, has the NFL gone too far, and should the league ever send two true division rivals overseas? Plus a tie game nobody saw coming, the Chargers' 0-5 freefall, and a full Week 6 preview, bye week and all.
Four dads. Zero credentials. Way too many opinions.

Ep. 4: Josh Allen Slander, Team Roasts & Week 5 Picks
Four weeks in, and the gloves are off. We're recapping a wild Week 4 — Alex's Steelers dropping a nail-biter in Cleveland, Mike's Packers grinding out an ugly road win, Jemille's Bengals getting picked off twice in a home loss, and Josh's 49ers staying the last unbeaten team on the show at 4-0. Naturally, that means everybody's got something to say about everybody else's team — nobody's spared.
Plus, a segment nobody saw coming: our collective disdain for Josh Allen gets its moment, whether he deserves it or not. Then we set the board for Week 5 — Steelers host the Colts, Packers host the Bears, Bengals try to get right in Miami, and the 49ers head to Seattle as the only unbeaten team in the league currently picked to lose.
Four dads. Zero credentials. Way too many opinions, and this week, way too many grudges.

Ep. 3: Collapse, Comeback, and Rio's Wildest Finish
Two of our three teams had a week to forget. The Packers got run off their own field in primetime, blowing a lead and surrendering 27 unanswered to the Falcons. The Bengals let a win slip away in Pittsburgh on a muffed punt. The 49ers are the last unbeaten team left on our board at 3-0 — but it came at a cost, with Nick Bosa's injury situation taking a turn for the worse.
Around the league: the NFL's first-ever game in Rio delivered an all-time finish, two 3-0 teams collide in the AFC West, and we're asking whether Aaron Rodgers is actually back. Then it's on to Week 4 — Packers try to get right against a winless Tampa Bay team, Bengals host Jacksonville after a defense that just gave up 411 yards, and the 49ers' unbeaten streak faces a real threat at home.
Four dads. Zero credentials. Way too many opinions.
