We’ve hit the halfway mark of the regular season, and there’s plenty to get into! Fitz is feeling good about the Buffalo Bills’ defense coming out of the bye week, but Whit has a reality check! The real test comes Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.

Fitz & Whit preview TNF’s Jaguars-Ravens showdown and make the case for why it’s time to start giving Jacksonville some more attention. The guys also show some love to Jack Campbell, and give Dan Campbell and Kevin O’Connell their flowers for reminding everyone the strength of the brotherhood of the NFL. And to close it out, a little Green Bay and Halloweekend recap!

We’ve officially reached the quarter mark of the NFL season, so Fitz and Whit take a look at what they’ve learned, what’s surprised them, and what they still can’t figure out. The guys reveal some of their favorite position groups before trying to make sense of the surprising NFC East, where the Giants are 3-1 and somehow sitting on top, the Eagles are trying to find their footing, Washington is searching for answers, and the Cowboys still look like the team to beat. Plus, Fitz takes a deep dive into Josh Allen and Joe Brady’s two-point conversion struggles, and then the guys look ahead to Monday Night Football and preview the Bills’ matchup with the Rams.

Three weeks into the NFL season and somehow we’re more confused than ever. Fitz & Whit try to make sense of the bizarre start to the season, but remember, September is just the trailer. We’re going to find out a lot more about these teams when the real story starts to unfold. Then, the guys address the question nobody wants to ask…Is Drake Maye the problem? He just might be. They break down what’s gone wrong before getting into one of the biggest themes of the season: EVERYONE IS LYING. Defenses are disguising, offenses are scheming, and nothing is what it seems. Plus, Hall of Famer Joe Thomas joins Fitz & Whit to preview Steelers-Browns on Thursday Night Football and talk about what’s really going on with his former team.

Football is finally back! Fitz & Whit kick off Week 1 with their good friend Ted Karras, who shares an inside look at Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ renewed sense of urgency. Plus, Ted tells the story of his unforgettable first workout with Bill Belicheck, getting the “baby powder treatment” from Tom Brady, and even how he saved his teammate’s life. Then the guys make some bold predictions. Fitz makes his case for how the Dolphins could go 0-17. Whit shares his belief in Cincinnati making the AFC Championship. But ultimately it comes down to which teams they need to “test drive” in Week 1 before taking them off the lot.  They recap their quick trip to Buffalo and look ahead to the (likely shirtless) adventures that are to come as they kick off Thursday Night Football next week. Football is officially back.
