Episode Details

The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints face off in a “hate week” showdown with playoff dreams dashed, but where pride and future success may be on the line. Will Bijan Robinson’s explosive performance rewrite the record books, or can Tyler Shough and the Saints maintain their momentum for a statement win? The outcome shapes not just 2025, but sets the tone for scheduling and roster moves into 2026 and beyond.

Hosts Aaron Freeman and Ross Jackson spotlight key matchups—Robinson vs. the Saints’ surging defense, Shough’s deep passing against the Falcons’ elite safeties Jessie Bates and Xavier Watts, and crucial battles in the trenches. Coaching futures, veteran legacies like Cam Jordan and Taysom Hill, and dismal special teams units amplify the stakes. Can the Falcons break their third-quarter curse, and will the Saints flip their offensive tendencies? Tune in for all the analysis and bold predictions ahead of this NFC South rivalry clash.
