The fellas go over their best Week 2 bets (1:25:00), before diving into a loaded mailbag from the SFS faithful (1:26:20)

Plus, stick around to the end of the episode for some NBA talk featuring the Knicks trade for Derrick Rose, and the Mavs decision to not play the national anthem before games (57:35).

NFL Divisional Round Recap, Harden fitting in with the Nets
The guys are back on the mic following a very exciting weekend of playoff football! Ben and Matias get right into it with Packers-Rams (2:26) and how the Packers offensive line was so dominant against LA. The Bills took care of business at home against Baltimore (17:50) in a windy, defensive battle. Onto the Sunday games, where the Cleveland Browns gave the Chiefs everything they could handle (23:42), but Andy Reid's gutsy play-calling kept the AFC's top seed alive. Finally, we got to see two of the leagues' icons go at it in New Orleans (39:59), where Drew Brees' 3-INT performance sunk the Saints. Wrapping up the NFL, Deshaun Watson may be fed up with the Texans front office and the guys weigh in on where he might be playing next (51:08).
In the NBA, James Harden looks to be settling in just fine in Brooklyn (1:01:34), which isn't exactly surprising.

Super Wild Card Weekend? Super SFS Recap!
It wasn't just any playoff weekend for the NFL - it was SUPER WILD CARD WEEKEND (Don't ask Ben and Matias why, they weren't consulted on the branding.) After a quick College Football Title game wrap-up (3:00) and looking at the Mets' blockbuster trade for Francisco Lindor (13:20), the guys dive right into the NFL. The Saints-Bears game was a bit of a snoozer (27:40), while the Bills-Colts affair lived up to Matias' expectations (35:00). The Rams proved both the guys wrong with their win over Seattle (39:58), and the guys give a ton of credit to Sean McVay's brilliance against Seattle this season. Tom Brady continued to add to his playoff legacy (49:30) while Lamar Jackson and the Ravens flipped their narrative upside down with a W over the Titans (59:25). And of course, the Cleveland Browns snap their infamous playoff drought with a shocking win over Pittsburgh (1:08:25). Plus - stick around for the guys' take on Kyrie Irving's absence (1:30:15) and go over Surprises and Disappointments after 10 games in the NBA Season.

The NFL Playoff Picture is coming into focus
Ben Carlton and Matias Weilmann are back in the stu as Week 13 helped clarify some playoff questions in the NFL. The Cardinals-Rams game helped LA's chances (2:20), and the Cleveland Browns proved they belong in the postseason picture (12:00). Taysom Hill has gone 3-0 as the Saints' starter with Drew Brees hurt, Matias wants to know how long Hill stays the QB in New Orleans (23:22). The New York Jets sacrificed Gregg Williams to the 0-16 cause (33:45), and the New York Football Giants recorded their most impressive win of the year - and maybe the biggest upset win in the league this year.

A less-than-stellar Week 13 for the NFL, and "The Great Mirror Trade" between the Rockets and Wizards
Ben Carlton and Matias Weilmann take a look at what appears to be another underwhelming slate for the NFL this week (03:26), breakdown the Baltimore Ravens playoff chances (28:15), and examine the marquee matchup between Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brandon Allen (34:21).

First, Ben Carlton and Matias Weilmann discuss their “Banger Alert” games: KC-TB, TEN-IND, BAL-PIT* (3:36)… but of course Ben gets reeled in by comments and they talk about what leading the division means for the Giants (20:05).
