The Dolphins head north to face the Jets in a cold-weather matchup, a place where they've traditionally struggled, but Miami's improved defense and strong run game give them a chance to win another ugly one, even as Tua continues to play cautiously to protect his body. Joe and Hollywood dive into National Signing Day and the college coaching carousel, praising Mario Cristobal's recruiting and discussing Miami's ongoing quarterback dilemma, with LaNorris Sellers among the names in play. They also debate who would even suit up for the bowl game if the Canes miss the playoff — jokingly calling it the “Deez Nuts Bowl.” Finally, the guys preview tonight's Cowboys–Lions matchup and highlight the NFL's continued dominance in ratings, from Thanksgiving to Christmas, showing that football truly rules the sports calendar.

The Dolphins head into a cold-weather matchup against the Jets, a place that's traditionally given them trouble, but this year's team seems better equipped for the challenge. Miami's recent improvement on defense and a reliable run game give them a style suited for the conditions, even as Tua continues to play cautiously to protect his body.
