Ranking the AFC & NFC Playoff Teams, Are the Jaguars Real? Chargers Win Streak, and More | Ep. 538
The Jaguars make a statement with a big win over the Broncos — but how far does that actually move them in the AFC picture? We break down what this performance means and whether Jacksonville is turning a corner.
We also discuss how far the Bears can realistically go, react to Malik Willis’ performance, and dive into the Chargers quietly winning 7 of their last 8 games. Plus, which team has been the most disappointing this season: the Chiefs, Bengals, or Ravens?
To close the show, we play a Bryce Young “Would You Rather” and rank every AFC and NFC playoff team as we get closer to the postseason.

The show got worse now that #DummyDrew is back. Worst sports takes on the internet.
Drew saying Bryce over CJ pissed me off lol
Drew bringing up Schedules when he’s a Broncos fan lmaooo. Dude a fucking bozo
The switching teams thing I understand but I don't think I could ever do it. But I'm also much less of a fan than more of a fan of football in general. Like my favorite will always be the Chargers, but I'm also rooting hard for basically every other team in the playoff picture.
Brady never missed the playoffs if you forget the time he did
Point differential between jaguars and bears isn't close
Brady never missed the playoffs in his prime but the AFC East never gave him this much push back like the broncos and the chargers gave the chiefs.
"packers fan" 😂
wtf was Joel talm bout omg
The guy on the right is a bum
Wish you guys would kick the guy on the right out, he’s the loudest in the room with the worst takes
Yall remember when yall were disrespecting the jags?
Buddy in the red got anything to say today since he said “I hate to break it to bears fans they aren’t making the playoffs” does he have anything else to say or any other idiotic comments
DUUUUVALLL
Underdog Patriots. Stay on that side
The whole AFC flawed and they want to disrespect NE. Noted 😂
Go broncos!!
When I rather watch you guys over the talking heads on TV says a lot to you guys good ish guys
I've seen Joe Burrow get sacked 19 times in his SB run and he was still maybe 1 second of containing AD, from winning a ring. I dont make excuses for our injuries. More of NOW we have experience and depth and I'll take that with Jus10 slingin em!!
Your broncos got b2a when they finally play a good team! The jags are the best in the AFC calling it now jags vs rams in the Super Bowl
how can lamar be the most disappointing bruh he missed a ton of games and has been playing while injured for most of the games he has been in
Most goated podcast there is!!
Drew: what’re we glazing
Also Drew: glazes every possible thing about his Broncos…
No NBA of NFL Christmas games predictions? Y’all fell off bruh.
As a Giants fan, I have been watching Bears, Jags, and Panthers as teams to root on the side. It's crazy I feel everyone were low on them and I put a small gamble on these teams and crazy they all have exceeded and some like Bears and Jags have exceeded expectations lol. I'm more into Jags and Panthers especially as a T-Law truther. Even if T Law won't be that Manning or Rodgers type QB. I believe he is a Top 10 QB talent and I mean last few games he has played like the superstar QB you know he can.
And with Bryce, tbh I didn't like him the first time seeing him, but when I saw him benched last year and all the expectations he had too carry. I feel I relate to many of these guys in a sense to other players I have rooted for in other sports. I don't even know if Bryce can really be that guy or superstar QB, but I believe guy is an NFL talent and hopefully is a starter on winning teams for years to come.
And I do think Young reminds a bit of Eli. He has been really solid in the clutch the past two years. Problem is he still seems inconsistent, but this Panthers team have beaten very respectable teams from Packers and Rams.
I also have enjoyed seeing Caleb prove people wrong a bit. Also has flaws but he has shown his talent is so much better than other Qbs. IDK I hate the tanking culture of the NFL, but I do respect many of the top QB talents. I think problem is people still think they can magically just make your franchise a SB winner. Still the Qbs definitely can give you more chances to win. Still, I think I just like their talents and stories more than some of these other top QB prospects.
I try to be realistic, but I hope Jags are one of AFCG teams. I think they can beat Pats and just beat Broncos. IDK who really is the biggest threat in AFC, but I honestly think Texans and Chargers are also sleepers.
NFC is a little more clear. Rams,M Seahawks, and even Eagles are favorites. I hate Eagles and Rams, but Seahawks with decent Darnold can be in the SB. Hopefully Bears can be that sleeper team and tbh either Lions or Packers can be threats still. TBH for Joel's sake I hope Packers at least make the postseason lol though I really love the Lions, but it's not their year.
