The home teams held serve during the conference semifinals, and both the NFC and AFC have their 1 and 2 seeds squaring off for the right to go to the big game.  Jay and Dre examine why the Panthers and Patriots looked dominant although the Pats only won by one possession while the Broncos and Cards scuffled.  Then Jay has to choose which game he will intentionally go opposite of Dre, since he's more than five points behind in their scoring system.  Bruce Arians' fearless Arizona or Ron Rivera's powerful Carolina?  Bill Belichick's relentless New England or Gary Kubiak's resourceful Denver?  Listen live to our 90-minute supershow for our picks, and join in the fun!   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

In between reminiscing about their whirlwind four-day adventure in Las Vegas, Jay and Dre have some football to talk about, and wow, was there some newsworthy football in the Wild Card games.  Four road winners, some of the losers outplayed and some performing epic gag jobs to make Ginger Lynn proud, and we'll speak our observations about those before picking the conference semifinal matchups.  Saturday, Kansas City, who just can't stop winning, travels to New England, who just want their receivers to get healthy, then that night a reborn Aaron Rodgers takes his Packers into the desert to face Carson Palmer's Arizona Cardinals.  Sunday, Russell Wilson and the Seahawks go into much more pleasant weather than last Sunday as they fly to Charlotte to take on Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers, then the Steelers come off that death match in Cincinnati to face off in the mountains with the Denver Broncos and their new old QB, Peyton Manning.  And in between and after the picks, lots of Vegas talk!   Theme mus

The Vikings upset the Packers in Wisconsin to take the NFC North championship, the Jets gagged versus the Bills and allowed the Steelers to sneak into the playoffs, and the Broncos secured home field in the AFC thanks to an unlikely relief pitcher and a more unlikely collapse by the Patriots.  Jay and Dre look back on another hectic Week 17 in the NFL, then they have a full breakdown of the four contests for Wild Card Weekend.  Saturday, the streaking Chiefs pay a visit to J.J. Watt and the Texans, then Pittsburgh goes to Cincinnati, where they crippled Andy Dalton and got a win in Week 14.  Sunday, the Seahawks travel to Minnesota, site of a Seattle beatdown in Week 13, then Green Bay gets one more shot to start playing quality football in the nation's capital against Kirk Cousins and the Redskins.  You like that?!?  Then join in the fun for our two-hour live megashow!   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Our annual Week 17 guest picker is back for what will be a busy end to the NFL regular season.  Jay and Dre pick to break their tie as they break down the prime time battle for the NFC North title between the Twin Cities and Titletown, Rex Ryan trying to ruin his old team as the Jets guarantee a playoff berth if they win at Buffalo, the Steelers sneaking in if the Bills win and they take down the Browns, and the Chiefs miraculously trying to steal the AFC West by beating Oakland (but only if the Broncos lose to the Bolts).   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Jay and Dre check out the ramifications of Week 16's results, which saw Carolina lose their perfect season, New England stumble as players and coaches, Kansas City and Denver power through to the playoffs as Pittsburgh falters, and Green Bay and Minnesota deliver diametrically opposite messages ahead of their NFC North title game this coming Sunday night.  In the aftershow, Dre examines Drake's LL Cool J moment in the spotlight.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

As the Redskins and Eagles vie for the NFC Least crown, Jay and Dre look forward to the rest of the action for Week 16.  Will the Packers have a Merry Post-Christmas beating the Cardinals and moving towards clinching the NFC North?  Or will the Cards deliver a lump of coal and wrap up a 1st-round bye?  Will the Panthers stay perfect and wrap up home field throughout the playoffs by beating the Falcons for the 2nd time in three weeks?  And a wild one in Denver between backup QBs as the Bengals take the AFC North and a bye with a win, but the Broncos need a victory to move towards a playoff spot.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

While the Jets and Cowboys slug it out, we'll be live on the air with the rest of our picks for Week 15 in the NFL.  Postseason berths are up for grabs.  Arizona takes the NFC West if they beat Philadelphia, Cincinnati can avoid Jay's "Mercy Killing" scenario and clinch a playoff spot with a win at San Francisco, and Green Bay wraps up a playoff spot if they are victorious in the Black Hole.  Plus, the Broncos and Steelers will battle in a high-profile matchup, and the Texans and Colts fight for 1st place in the *barf* AFC South.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

The Red Rifle breaks his trigger as the Steelers stay alive, the Chiefs and Seahawks stay hot, the Pack may be back on track, the Gronk is certainly back, and the Panthers, well, keep being the Panthers.  Jay and Dre recap a newsworthy Week 13, then they break down likely the last prime time showcase in St. Louis for the woebegone Rams as they host Famous Jameis and the Tampa Bay Bucs.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Races for playoff spots are starting to hit overdrive, and the boys share their hot picks for NFL Week 14.  The Panthers try to stay unbeaten against division rival Atlanta, the Chiefs and Seahawks try to keep big winning streaks going as they shoot for Wild Card slots, the Steelers will have to go into the jungle and win if they want to catch the Bengals for the AFC North, and the Patriots try to halt their losing streak against a still-contending J.J. Watt and the Texans.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Jay and Dre look back on Week 13 in the NFL and discuss how the heck the Patriots let the Eagles storm them in their house, whether the Seahawks are back or the Vikings were simply "outcoached," and why Cam Newton's arrogance is going to get him hurt.  Then they pick the Thursday nighter as Minnesota tries to gather themselves and visit Carson Palmer and the Arizona Cards.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Will Big Ben answer the bell or is his head still ringing?  Will the Patriots field any receivers we've heard of?  Will the Seahawks overcome losing Jimmy Graham as they go to the Twin Cities?  Can Peyton Manning's replacement make it 3-0 in San Diego?  Can the Panthers remain the last undefeated team after visiting Drew Brees and the Saints?  Jay and Dre have the answers (or best guesses) as they make their picks for NFL Week 13.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Week 12 saw New England's perfect season get exterminated by Brock Osweiler, Seattle lose TE Jimmy Graham and post 39 points, the Jets get another Miami coach fired, and Arizona struggle with Blaine Gabbert and the 49ers.  Jay and Dre talk about Twilight Zone Week, then pick sides for a shockingly important Thursday night NFC North game as Aaron Rodgers' Pack go to Motown to face Matthew Stafford's Lions.

The post-Thanksgiving playoff pushes begin, and Jay and Dre have all of your Week 12 picks ATS.  Which reeling team will bounce back between the Vikings and Falcons?  Which borderline playoff team will step up between the Steelers and Seahawks?  And will Bronco Brock Osweiler shock the world and stop the Patriots' perfect season?  Tune in and get analysis from two guys flying above .500 for the season against the spread.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0  

Jay and Dre have to eat crow before they enjoy some turkey, as they both whiffed on the Pack coming back to the top of the NFC North.  They will discuss the wild game between the Bengals and Cards, the close call for the Pats against the Bills and Brock Osweiler's grade versus the Bears.  Then it's time to pick the three Thanksgiving matchups:  Total Fraud in Motown, the perfect Panthers in the Lone Star State, and another edition of Bears-Packers.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0  

Jay and Dre dig into the pre-Thanksgiving slate of games in the NFL, which include the Packers trying to right the ship at the 1st-place Vikings, Brock Osweiler's starring turn leading the Broncos into Chicago, and the Bengals coming off their worst effort having to battle the red-hot Cardinals on Sunday night.  In the aftershow, they tackle the topic of most irritating complete stranger.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0  

Jay and Dre talk about a bananas Week 10 in the NFL, which saw Andy Reid's bye week voodoo cast a spell on Peyton Manning, the Pats have Super Bowl flashbacks against the Giants, Dre nailing one of his all-time picks of calling the Lions upsetting the Pack, and the Cards and Hawks making a case for all major spotlight division games to be played after a double bye.  Then the boys spend about 25 seconds examining the Thursday nighter as Tennessee visits Jacksonville.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

As the league marches past the halfway point, matchups start looking like potential playoff previews or battles for playoff spots.  Jay and Dre try to keep their charmed season going as they pick the rest of NFL Week 10, which includes two up-and-coming squads in Minnesota and Oakland, New England's freight train rolling into Jersey vs. the G-Men, and Arizona visiting Seattle in a fascinating divisional clash.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0

Jay and Dre look back on Week 9, which saw both their Locks of the Week come through despite the other picking against it.  They'll examine what's wrong with the Packers and Falcons, what's right with new coaching in Tennessee and Indy and what can be gleaned from big wins by the Vikes and Bills.  Then they focus on a Thursday night AFC East war that will be physical and emotional as Rex Ryan brings his new team, Buffalo, to the Meadowlands to fight his old team, the New York Jets.

At the halfway point of the season, Jay and Dre try to keep their season records over .500 as they pick the NFL Week 9 slate, which sees Green Bay face another tough undefeated squad in Carolina, a defensive dogfight between St. Louis and Minnesota, and Peyton Manning dropping in on his old team as Denver flies to Indianapolis.   Theme music credit:  "Breaking Bad" by Jahzzar   CC BY-SA 3.0
