The postseason chaos isn't slowing down. We open with another wave of firings and front-office moves as Miami parts ways with Mike McDaniel, Pittsburgh watches Mike Tomlin step away, and both the Eagles and Chargers hit reset on their offenses. We also look ahead at how the open jobs could shake out, matching coaches to landing spots and asking which franchises are actually ready for a reset—and which are just rearranging deck chairs.From there, we take stock of the teams already sent home, breaking down the single biggest thing each Wild Card loser has to fix this offseason—from identity crises in Green Bay to long-term vision problems in Pittsburgh. Derek makes the case that Indiana deserves real respect (and that Dante Moore discourse has gone off the rails), while Caleb explains why the 4 seed might quietly be the most dangerous trap in the playoff bracket.Then it's all about the Divisional Round. Bills–Broncos, 49ers–Seahawks, Rams–Bears, and Texans–Patriots all get full previews, complete with X-factors on both sides and the matchups that will decide who moves on and who spends January updating résumés. We wrap things up with Brodie Bets, recapping last week's picks and locking in this weekend's slate as the margin for error officially disappears.January doesn't forgive—and this round proves it.Theme music by The Riley Brothers Band.

In Episode 3 of Allegedly Sports, M|M and Tom Schneider return to break down one of the most chaotic weeks across both college football and the NFL. From the College Football Playoff semifinals to NFL Wild Card weekend, the conversation blends sharp analysis, strong opinions, and real football perspective. The episode opens with Indiana's continued dominance in the College Football Playoff, including their convincing win over Oregon and what makes them the most complete and well-coached team in the country. M|M and Tom debate quarterback Fernando Mendoza's NFL future, his personality, and whether leadership style actually matters at the next level. The conversation expands into coaching pedigree, with the surprising statistic that nearly every remaining head coach in the playoff tree traces back to Nick Saban's coaching tree. They also dive into one of the most controversial moments of the playoff — the missed pass interference call that helped send Miami to the national championship. M|M and Tom debate officiating, game-deciding calls, and whether refs shy away from making big calls in big moments. From there, the focus shifts to the NFL Wild Card slate, including Carolina's upset potential, Bryce Young's strange career arc, and why momentum late in the season often matters more than regular-season records. They also break down Caleb Williams' evolution in Chicago, Ben Johnson's impact on his development, and why Justin Fields was never the long-term answer for the Bears. The episode closes with a broader look at NFL disappointments and expectations — including the Lions' post-Super Bowl collapse, coaching turnover, Jared Goff's ceiling, and why defense and experience still rule in the playoffs. M|M and Tom finish by making full Wild Card and playoff predictions, including bold picks for Jaguars, Steelers, Eagles, Patriots, and Rams as potential deep-run teams. As always, the conversation stays unfiltered, opinionated, and grounded in how the game is actually played. Topics Covered Indiana vs. Oregon and the College Football Playoff semifinals Fernando Mendoza, QB leadership, and NFL projection Nick Saban's coaching tree dominating the Final Four Miami's controversial win and missed pass interference Refereeing and high-leverage calls NFL Wild Card matchups and betting lines Bryce Young's resurgence and Carolina's momentum Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, and scheme vs. improvisation Justin Fields vs. elite QB ceilings The Lions' collapse and coordinator departures Jared Goff and Detroit's Super Bowl window Playoff defense, experience, and team identity Full NFL Wild Card and playoff predictions
