Description

What a wild week it's been in the NFL (and football in general). We saw titans of the game in Pete Carroll and Nick Saban retiring from coaching while the Patriots parted ways with Bill Belichick after a 24-year marriage. Matt Harmon and Dalton Del Don dive into all the coaching news and preview a stacked Wild Card weekend slate.

To start the show, the two play matchmaker with the head coaching vacancies and top candidates. Both discuss if there's a team not currently on the board, and playing this weekend, that could make sense for Belichick.

Combining our viewer's guide and star nerd format, Harmon and Del Don break down all six games this weekend and provide the data and matchups you need to know heading into the weekend. The two then end the show by providing their favorite bets to place in the Wild Card round:
