Four more teams fell out of the playoffs while the final four teams advanced. We look at which of the eliminated teams may be back next season and which have a murky future. Then we look at the Conference Championship matchup, and if Mahomes injury will be an issue, can Purdy continue his undefeated streak, and can the Bengals beat the Chiefs four times in a row?

The results of the first round of the NFL playoffs went almost exactly how we expected, but with some added drama along the way. We talk about a chargers collapse, a Giant win for Daniel Jones, the Cowboys finally getting over the hump, what the future holds for Lamar Jackson, and more from last weekend. Then we look to the division round; could it hold more shocks and surprises than we have seen so far?

It's been quite a week with Demar Hamlin's outstanding recovery and the last week of regular season football. We wonder if other NCAA conferences can close the gap to the SEC after an embarrassing National Championship. Then we look at where eliminated teams stand heading into the playoffs, including coaches fired and draft standings. Finally, we preview the playoff matchups for Wild Card weekend and who we think can be the last team standing.

We discuss the dire Damar Hamlin injury and how good leadership prevented it from becoming a complete disaster. We also review the teams that locked up a playoff spot, like the Giants and those who fell out, like the Jets and Commanders. With one week left in the NFL regular season, there is still plenty of uncertainty and drama to unfold.

We both had teams make the fantasy football finals, and we are holding our breath to see what happens in the New Year. We recap the Christmas games and look at what we need from teams next week for fantasy and what they need for playoffs. Finally, we speculated for weeks on Nathaniel Hackett getting fired, and it finally happened.  Sponsor: PrimeTimeSportsTalk.com Twitter: @BallsNTheGutter Facebook: BallsNTheGutter Instagram: mindinthegutterpod Other Pods: Mind In the Gutter & The MIGsy Film Club Music: https://www.bensound.com

A bomb cyclone is coming just in time for Christmas and to make our NFL games frigid. So come sit by the fire and listen to us break down where teams stand with playoffs just three weeks away. We also had some casualties with our fantasy playoff teams, but a few are still standing. Finally, can we offer any solutions to the officiating issues in football or just gripe with everyone else (or more than everyone else)? Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

We had pretty good luck getting into the fantasy playoffs, but injuries are hurting our first-round chances. We try to figure out how optimistic we are and try to figure out how many NFL teams are going to be eliminated from playoffs after this week. Also, we decided we can't hate Patrick Mahomes or Mike White.

We have just one more week until the fantasy playoffs! We have a shot at getting most of our teams in but may need a little luck with a rash of injuries and six teams on bye next week. We also talk college playoff selection, Baker Mayfield getting released, the looming NFL playoff bubble, and the selection of Christmas games.

We had an incredible Thanksgiving slate of games that wrapped up November right. Looking ahead, we wonder if this is the beginning of the Giants descent, if the Falcons have any magic, and if the Patriots can make a stand. We also have two weeks until the fantasy playoffs, and we are scrambling to make it in.

Some teams are feeling the grind of the season with the Vikings, Giants, and Jets all losing and the Eagles narrowly escaping. Our fantasy teams are also dragging and we continue our ongoing discussion on if the Broncos and Raiders need to fire their freshman coaches.

It's getting cold, and some teams are feeling the chill. Is Buffalo still an elite team, are the Jets frauds, and are the Cowboys just the same old Cowboys? We also are looking toward fantasy playoffs with potential trades and other ideas to get to a championship. Finally, we look at the upcoming week, pitch an idea for networks to give us a job, and may have an inappropriate obsession with Derek Henry.

The NFL regular season is officially half over, but we know there is plenty more drama to come. After the Colts fired their head coach, we talk about who could be next, the upcoming battle for playoff seeds, and even some college football talk. On the fantasy front, there are only a few weeks left before playoffs, and we like our chances in most leagues.

We are breaking down the moves of one of the busiest trade deadlines ever! Then we do an extensive mid-season status report; which teams are real contenders, which are just pretenders, and which are on the bubble? We are debating and trying to logic it all out.

With the trade deadline only a week away, we've already seen lots of movement. We react to CMC going to the 49ers, James Robinson joining the Jets, and Matt Ryan getting benched for the season. Upsets are keeping the standings close, so we speculate which teams may be buyers and sellers in the coming days.

This week left us even more puzzled as the Jets and Giants are doing better than the Packers and Buccaneers, but we continue to sort through the madness. We are getting excited about the trade deadline with multiple teams looking like sellers and try to figure out the best strategy for blowing up a dynasty team when it's already doomed for the season.  Sponsor: PrimeTimeSportsTalk.com Twitter: @BallsNTheGutter Facebook: BallsNTheGutter Instagram: mindinthegutterpod Other Pods: Mind In the Gutter & The MIGsy Film Club Music: https://www.bensound.com

With bye weeks approaching fantasy football is getting tough and lineups are getting thin. We are making suggestions for changes teams can make during their off weeks. Should the Panthers and Packers trade wide receivers? Should the Titans consider giving Malik Willis a shot over Tannehill? Which coaches already need to go? We also think we solved the Thursday Night Football problem! Sponsor: PrimeTimeSportsTalk.com Twitter: @BallsNTheGutter Facebook: BallsNTheGutter Instagram: mindinthegutterpod Other Pods: Mind In the Gutter & The MIGsy Film Club Music: https://www.bensound.com

We're worried that some of our fantasy and NFL teams are already out of contention unless a miraculous comeback is around the corner. Is a turnaround possible for the Panthers, Raiders, Commanders, or Steelers? Is it too early for a fire sale in our dynasty leagues? Will we ever get rid of Thursday games? We cover these questions and more!

It was another wild week in the NFL with only the Eagles and Dolphins remaining undefeated. We look at fantasy disappointments, injury worries, and dynasty disappointments. We're also thrilled with the new Pro Bowl idea, try to figure out if turf is causing issues, and I guess we're fine with Rihanna as a Super Bowl performer.

The overhype and overreaction in week one came back to Earth this week. We break down week two and the corrections teams made. While we feel great about our Miami, Tennessee, Kansas City, and Philadelphia predictions, the Colts, Bengals, and Giants have us stumped. Early fantasy football has been a bit erratic, but we are still feeling optomistic.

It looked like it was still the preseason with most teams making mistakes all over the field in week one. It made for some exciting games but raised plenty of questions about what to expect from teams going forward. We briefly recap the week with one member podding from the last frontier and try to make sense of fantasy implications.  Sponsor: PrimeTimeSportsTalk.com Twitter: @BallsNTheGutter Facebook: BallsNTheGutter Instagram: mindinthegutterpod Other Pods: Mind In the Gutter & The MIGsy Film Club Music: https://www.bensound.com
