Drake Maye MVP? Brock Purdy on Fire | NFL Week 17 Recap & CFP Quarterfinal Picks

Hosts Brad Fowler and Alex Higdon break down the biggest NFL Week reactions, playoff implications, and College Football Playoff quarterfinal previews as the postseason picture comes into focus.

We discuss Eagles vs Bills, Josh Allen’s near-heroics, Philadelphia’s recurring second-half offensive issues, and why Buffalo still can’t be trusted in the playoffs. Plus Seahawks vs Panthers, Seattle’s talent edge and turnover concerns with Sam Darnold, and whether either team can make real postseason noise. We also dive into Patriots vs Jets, Drake Maye’s MVP-level performance, and whether New England is being seriously undervalued.

We break down Ravens vs Packers with a debate on Malik Willis’ development and starter potential, followed by Texans vs Chargers, Justin Herbert’s impressive performance under constant pressure, Houston’s elite defense, and how far the Texans can go in a wide-open AFC.

We recap what may have been the best NFL game of the year: Bears vs 49ers — elite quarterback play from Caleb Williams and Brock Purdy, creative coaching, massive performances from Christian McCaffrey, and what it means for Chicago heading into the playoffs.

In College Football, we preview and make picks for the CFP quarterfinals, including Oregon vs Texas Tech, Alabama vs Indiana, Georgia vs Ole Miss, and Ohio State vs Miami. We also react to Michigan hiring Kyle Whittingham and why it could be a program-changing move.
