In Much Less Detail: The Podcast

The boys try to shake off their food comas and work weariness to pick Week 12 in the NFL and try to guess which teams will be too stuffed from Thanksgiving.  New England tries to sidestep a bad division rival at Gang Green, Seattle tries to keep their momentum in Tampa, and long passes will be at a minimum on Sunday night as Kansas City goes Mile High.   Aftershow: Jay's got a prediction for next season already, and the guys take a long look ahead to the playoff craziness   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

It was Pain Week in the NFL as several important players suffered major injuries just days before being thankful for their lots in life.  Jay and Dre discuss the impact of those injuries, the marauding Cowboys, the stumbling Cards, the melting Packers, the Texans outplaying the Raiders in between referee bonings, and Jay shaving some more games off Dre's lead.  Then it's time for the Triple Gobble, as the Thanksgiving Day games are picked:  Sam Bradford's Vikings go to Motown, then the high-flying Redskins visit Jerryworld, then one of the major injuries impact Thursday Night Football as Big Ben's Steelers take on Scott Tolzien (not Andrew Luck) and the Colts.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

In a football landscape where the Cowboys are the top team in every power ranking and the Chiefs and Raiders have the same record as the Patriots, Jay and Dre try to recover from their underwhelming Week 10 picks and dig into Week 11.  Arizona and Minnesota battle for possibly a playoff spot, Jared Goff begins his NFL career as Los Angeles hosts Miami, Green Bay got right in DC in last year's playoffs and hope to rekindle the magic, and for some reason Houston plays Oakland in Mexico.   Aftershow: Some baseball chatter leading into sports ne'er-do-wells, and talk about Angry America   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

What an awesome slate of NFL action in Week 10, as one could have predicted by the all the tight spreads.  Jay and Dre didn't do well predicting those games, but they still break down the hot action.  Black Jesus ascends over Big Ben, the Seahawks exact some Super revenge on the Patriots, and the G-Men run the clock out in beating the Bengals, shocking everyone watching into a mouth-open Mannequin Challenge.  Then the guys preview the Thursday nighter featuring two reeling NFC South squads as Drew Orleans goes to Charlotte to play Camolina.   Aftershow: Vegas and travel talk, and we take the Pulse of America   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Teams continue to show whether they're real or fake as the NFL season moves into its second half, and Jay and Dre sort through which squads deserve your investment in Week 10.  The official First Team of America returns from bye in a hot Sunday nighter versus Richard Sherman's Seahawks, a styles clash takes place in the Big Easy as the defensive Broncos face the offensive Saints, and Black Jesus and the Cowboys get another test in the Steel City.

The day after America chose to elect a supremacist, Dre would love to feel superiority about his two-loss week to boost his ATS percentage past .600 for the season...but he didn't make any of his nine wins his Lock of the Week.  Nonetheless, he and Jay look back on Week 9 in the NFL, leaving the boys to ponder how real the Cowboys, Raiders, Giants, and Ravens are, and how fake the Packers, Vikings, Eagles, and Steelers might be.  Then they find out if either has the stones to take the winless Cleveland Browns on the road on Thursday in Baltimore.   Aftershow: Our take on the presidential election.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

We are living in a world where the Chicago Cubs are the reigning World champions of baseball, but despite the Apocalypse, Jay and Dre examine the weekend in the NFL.  They make their Week 9 picks for all games, including Sam Bradford and the Vikes trying to turn around their losing streak sans Norv Turner as they host the Lions, Big Ben's (possible) return to the Steelers as they visit the Ravens, and a Broncos trip to the Black Hole on Sunday night.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

A full day of quality football made for a very fun Sunday before All Hallows' Eve.  Jay and Dre ponder the meaning of a pretty good Aaron Rodgers performance without most of his main targets as the Pack cover but come up short in Atlanta, a tight Eagles-Cowboys battle that ends in a cheap cover, another tie (Skins-Bengals) and the noise surrounding ties in general, another Tom Brady-led missile strike by the Pats, and our twin nailing of the predictions that the Seahawks and Cardinals wouldn't have enough in the tank after their previous tie.  Then the boys choose sides in an NFC South Thursday showdown between Matty Ice's Dirty Birds and Famous Jameis's Buccos.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Game 4 of the World Series at Wrigley Field will be winding down, but Jay and Dre will be warming up with hot picks for NFL Week 8.  The Redskins and Bengals get it on in yet another London game, the Patriots Set Fire to America tour brings them to Buffalo for some potential Week 4 vengeance, and the Eagles and Cowboys battle in Big D for the top of the competitive NFC East.  And in our Halloween tradition, we highlight the scariest, spookiest games of the week!   Aftershow: Full breakdown of the Sunday nighter between Philadelphia and Dallas, and a new segment, "Before the Internet"   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

This week it's Dre's turn to crow about a big chunk of wins over Jay, overcoming Jay's feelgood Cubbie mojo.  The boys discuss a unique Seahawks-Cards game, a Jets revival that no one wanted to happen, the first signs of the old Sam Bradford in the first Vikings loss, and more scrappy, frustrating wins by the Lions and Chargers.  Then it's time to pick the seemingly annual Thursday night AFC South "classic" as Blake Bortles' Jacksonville Jags take on Marcus Mariota's Nashville Titans.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Jay goes for four weeks in a row with double-digit wins ATS, including an all-timer of 10-3 for Week 6. He and Dre break down Week 7 in the NFL, which sees the NY and LA markets have to watch their teams battle in Europe, the return to the Jets lineup of #ohgodgenosmith, the reprise of the best game from last season (Seahawks-Cardinals), the return of Brock Osweiler to Denver, and the only undefeated squad left returning from bye as Minnesota visits Philadelphia.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Jay got a chunk of games from Dre as he hoped in a week where the boys didn't see eye-to-eye on three-fourths of the picks.  They examine the ramifications of another ground game steamrolling by Dallas, a hot comeback by Atlanta that fell short in Seattle, a Heckyll-and-Jyde great and terrible performance by Houston's Brock Osweiler, and in the "some things never change" department, New England keeps rolling and Pittsburgh burns anyone who trusts them.  Then the oldest rivalry in the NFL, Bears vs. Packers, takes over Thursday Night Football, and the guys choose sides.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Two weeks of hot picks for Jay and Dre get put to the test with some tight contests.  Cincy has to avoid going 2-4 by beating Tom Brady and the Pats in Foxboro.  The NFC champion Panthers try to avoid 1-5 going into the funhouse that is the New Orleans Superdome.  The rollin' rookie Cowboys get a road test on the (not yet) frozen tundra.  The high-flying Falcons get a road test in the insanely loud CenturyLink Field versus a revved-up Seahawks D.   Aftershow:  What the hell was Bruce Bochy doing???  And how did the Dodgers survive?   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

The boys are so thrilled at being over .500 for the 2nd week in a row, they could just hug a kicking net!  Jay and Dre recap an exciting Week 5 in the NFL that saw the Vikings stay undefeated, the Eagles and Broncos not so much, the Cowboys and Bills stay red hot, and that Brady guy returning.  Then they select which AFC West squad they want for Thursday night--an angry Denver or a manic-depressive San Diego?   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

All eyes will be in Cleveland as Terrific Tom Brady returns from suspension for the Pats.  Jay and Dre pick ATS for that contest and all the others in Week 5, including Indy hosting Chicago and having to play the week after a London game, The Skins and Ravens in a Beltway battle, the Falcons taking their top-ranked offense to the Mile High City and their championship defense, and another chance to see Odell Beckham mentally melt on national TV as the Giants visit Cheeseland on Sunday night.   Aftershow: Postseason baseball talk.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Jay and Dre have NFL issues to discuss after a bizarre Week 4.  How far can the Broncos and Vikings going in today's pass-happy NFL as they try to bludgeon every opponent on defense?  Can the Cards and Panthers make the playoffs if their QBs can't stand up?  Do we want to live in a world where the Rams are 3-1?  And how much of a groin kick was it for Jay to watch his "switched pick" Pats get blanked by the Bills?  Then the boys choose sides for the Thursday night NFC West throwdown between a concussed Carson Palmer's Arizona team and Chip Kelly's San Fran squad.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Jay and Dre tackle every matchup for Week 4 in the NFL.  The London Jaguars have a divisional battle this year with Indianapolis, New England plays their last Brady-less game against the Bills, three squads--Baltimore, Denver, and Minnesota--try to stay undefeated, while the Chiefs and Steelers go at it in the Steel City. Aftershow: Some of our NFL memories as well as a pickup football flashback, and we take the Pulse of America. Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Jay and Dre wear their struggle faces this week as they both suffer from some awful picks.  They try to decide why Arizona got housed by Buffalo, undefeated Minnesota easily handled Cam Newton and Carolina, and boy wonder Carson Wentz and Philadelphia dominated Pittsburgh.  Then they pick the Thursday nighter which has Adam Gase's 1-2 Miami Fish visiting Marvin Lewis's 1-2 Cincinnati Bengal Cats.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Jay tries to get off the schneid in Week 3 and produce more than five wins, while Dre tries to keep his hot streak going.  They'll pick all of the contests, including the Redskins trying to avoid starting 0-3 as they visit the Giants, the Packers' home opener versus the Lions, the Broncos' first road test in Cincy, and Carson Wentz and the Eagles going for 3-0 hosting the Steelers in the Push for Pennsylvania.   Aftershow: Baseball talk, Dre's grand plan for Black America, and weather metrics.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

What teams should start panicking a la the Bills after Week 2?  And who looks better than anticipated?  Jay and Dre chat about Minnesota's nice U.S. Bank Stadium opener against Green Bay, Pittsburgh's early statement win over Cincinnati, and the champs dominating on defense again in Denver.  Then they look at the Thursday nighter featuring J.J. Watt and a violent Houston D visiting Jacoby Brissett (!) and the New England Pats.    Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0
