-Rutgers is a -2.5 favorite vs. Nebraska tonight; surprised?

-Tipoff at 6pm on BTN…next game is home vs. Northwestern on Saturday

-BREAKING NEWS: Mike Tomlin will return as the Steelers head coach

-The best of the rest? No. 2 was 2020 Alabama; followed by 2022 Georgia; 2018 Clemson; and 2021 Georgia. The worst? At No. 40…2015 Michigan State

The Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs wrapped up with 2 games yesterday…did we get drama like Lions/Rams or more blowouts? Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

-Before yesterday, only one of the games had been competitive, with Detroit beat the Rams, 24-23 on Sunday night. 3 other games were blowouts, with one of them (Packers over Cowboys) being a big upset

-Yesterday, the Bills played the Steelers; and the Bucs hosted the Eagles. Snow was still all over the stands in Buffalo prior to the game…how did the action on the field look?

-As for the Eagles, did they bounce back after a horrid end to the regular season, or did they end their season in more miserable fashion?
