Dream Recap - NFL Week 13

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL recap from week 13. RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers recap NFL Week 13, starting with Fezzik’s contest standings and shifting into a long debate about Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss for LSU, weighing money, reputation, player poaching, contract terms, and whether he should coach out the season, comparing it to corporate noncompetes and fan reactions; they discuss New Orleans, Baton Rouge, lifestyle differences, and how coaches and players evaluate opportunity versus loyalty. They transition to Survivor strategy, with Fezzik criticizing results-oriented praise for underdog picks and outlining math on contrarian value, distribution of picks on Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore and others, and how expected value—not outcome—should drive decisions. RJ pushes back that long-term projections people use may be overly certain and ignore variance in future point spreads. They then move game-by-game through the week: Bengals’ win over the Ravens despite six field goals and Baltimore’s four lost fumbles; Rams’ statistically dominant but turnover-ruined loss to Carolina; Arizona outplaying Tampa but losing on turnovers; Atlanta statistically beating the Jets despite a close score; Seattle crushing Minnesota while the Vikings’ offense posted historically awful EPA comparable to Denver’s COVID no-QB game; San Francisco beating Cleveland by more than the stats suggested due to turnovers; Jacksonville blowing out Tennessee in a game that should’ve been closer; Houston beating Indy in a fairly accurate-to-stats final; Chargers annihilating the Raiders; Miami edging New Orleans with a pivotal defensive two-point runback; Washington-Denver ending on a two-point try showing how new OT rules increase one-point finals. They discuss power ratings, playoff odds, NFC West value on San Francisco versus Seattle and the Rams, Denver’s “clutch” wins, Buffalo versus Kansas City, late-down success as a predictive metric, and coaching impacts. They close with prop-bet anecdotes, Steelers/Tomlin talk, kickoff-rule quirks, and a brief side discussion of media narratives and personal movie/TV habits.
