Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the NFL and College Football Playoff action!

They start with Brock Purdy throwing another terrible interception late in the game against the Dolphins and why the 49ers would be crazy to offer him the bag (4:00). They contrast Purdy’s performance to another amazing game from Sam Darnold and agree the Vikings would be crazy to let him leave in free agency (10:00).

Despite the loss to the Lions, they offer some optimism for Bears fans for the future of Caleb Williams… if the Bears find the right head coach (23:30), and they debate whether the Lions high-flying offense can power them through the amount of injuries their defense has suffered (29:00).

They laud the Commanders and Jayden Daniels for making the turnaround from “laughing stock” to playoffs after their comeback win over the Eagles (31:00) and Michael Penix Jr. for looking pro-ready in his debut for the Falcons (38:45).

They debate whether the Rams are capable of winning a first round playoff game (45:45) and whether the Jets should consider Aaron Rodgers offer to take a pay cut to return next season (56:15). They credit Lamar Jackson for having one of the best games of his career in a huge divisional win over the Steelers and argue he should receive far more accolades than the criticism he currently receives (1:04:15).

They pivot to the first round of the College Football Playoff and why it wasn’t surprising to see so many blowouts (1:15:00). They rip Indiana for their gutless game plan in which they were just trying to avoid being embarrassed rather than win (1:22:00), and Colin changes his prediction for who ultimately hoists the trophy (1:25:30). Finally, they look ahead to the quarterfinal round and predict the winners (1:30:00).
