Their performance last year (opening round 57) and Matt’s recent top finishes make them the clear favorites.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Week 15 recap. The guys also talk some poker and much more.Week 15 Overview: Boring Slate and Key MetricsScott Seidenberg laments the dullness of the early afternoon games, with few close contests, except the Jets-Jaguars matchup (1:55-2:45). Mackenzie Rivers adds data: Winning teams averaged a 93.5% fourth-quarter win share, the highest in three years and third-highest in six years (3:14-3:44). Notable Metrics: Closest game: Jets vs. Jaguars. 49ers-Rams wasn’t close. The NFL’s Poor FundamentalsSteve Fezzik criticizes multiple teams for poor endgame decisions (4:03-4:55): Example 1: Arizona failed to make a clear distinction between a 20- and 21-point lead. Example 2: Atlanta gave the Raiders unnecessary time after an incompletion. Quote Analysis (5:32-6:44): Fezzik observes an “epidemic” of dropped passes. Puka Nacua, however, secures every catch because he “stares at the ball into his hands.” Mackenzie Rivers attributes drops to receivers focusing on YAC (yards after catch), unlike older eras of “fundamentals.” Game Analysis and Faulty ResultsIndianapolis Colts vs. Denver BroncosSteve Fezzik identifies this as a "faulty final" (7:25-7:37). Turning Point: Jonathan Taylor fumbled with the Colts poised to lead 20-7, but Denver capitalized, outscoring Indianapolis 24-0 to win 31-13 (9:14-9:29). Key Criticism: Denver’s poor sportsmanship and focus as a player unnecessarily celebrated a touchdown, risking a penalty (10:15-10:39). Final Takeaway: Fezzik asserts both teams are fundamentally flawed and not playoff-worthy (10:54-11:04). Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit LionsScott Seidenberg argues the 48-42 final score is misleading, as Buffalo dominated (11:18-11:58). Game Context: Detroit scored two late touchdowns; Buffalo maintained a 97% fourth-quarter win share. Dan Campbell's controversial onside kick strategy reflects his lack of trust in Detroit's defense (12:20-12:28). Team Insight: Fezzik believes Detroit is the third-best team in the NFC North. Injuries, including David Montgomery, diminish their playoff hopes (13:43-14:00). Mackenzie predicts Minnesota wins the division (12:36-13:26). Green Bay Packers ResurgenceMackenzie Rivers praises Jordan Love’s improvement (14:30-14:51). Jordan Love: Currently ranked 11th in PFF's QBR composite. Scott Seidenberg adds context: Green Bay’s losses (Eagles, Vikings, Lions) are “respectable” (14:51-15:14). Packers’ Super Bowl Odds: +1200; Mackenzie identifies eight realistic contenders, including the Packers and Ravens (15:37-15:52). Best/Worst Performances Best Performance (Bad Team): Dallas Cowboys (16:04-16:34). Worst Performance: Carolina Panthers, who “reverted back” to their poor form. Bryce Young’s turnovers and overall disarray highlighted why Carolina has been underdogs in 33 straight games (16:49-17:27). Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chargers Tampa Bay Bucs dominated the Chargers 40-17. Steve Fezzik highlights Baker Mayfield's road success: 13-4 ATS and 17-0 in six-point teasers (32:05-32:25). Chargers’ Playoff Path: Seidenberg explores playoff machine scenarios but suggests losses in critical games will cost them (19:00-19:31). Baltimore Ravens: Playoff Path and Stats Lamar Jackson (26:06-26:37): 21/25 passing, 290 yards, 5 TDs against the Giants. Fezzik highlights Baltimore’s yards-per-play differential of 1.5, making them “three times better” than Buffalo in this metric (26:06-26:29). Playoff Path: Ravens must beat the Steelers and hope for a Steelers loss against Kansas City or Cincinnati (30:04-30:18). Key Matchups and Line Discussions for Week 16 Buffalo Bills: 13.5-point favorites over New England (36:17-36:57). Eagles vs. Commanders: Line: Eagles -3; Fezzik believes it should be -4.5 based on power ratings (39:01-39:52). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Steve Fezzik talk all things NFL and much more on this weeks episode of the Fezzik's Focus Podcast.Key Quotes with Analysis"Atlanta's running out the clock, and they throw the ball on third and sixth when literally they could have run another 40 seconds off." Timestamp (0:32 - 0:49) | Steve Fezzik criticizes Atlanta’s decision-making. Analysis: Atlanta's strategic misstep in Week 15 could have cost them the game. By opting to pass instead of running down the clock, they failed to maximize their lead. Fezzik points out these decisions as examples of poor game management that influence results, especially in critical betting scenarios. "I got the Colts under eight and a half wins. They're six and eight with three easy games on their schedule." Timestamp (1:22 - 2:30) | Steve Fezzik highlights his futures bets on team win totals. Insight: Fezzik tracks multiple ongoing bets, including critical projections for the Colts (under 8.5 wins), Ravens (under 11 wins), and Falcons. He notes that Week 17’s Colts matchup will be pivotal. Such futures bets hinge on late-season results, especially as teams face “easy” opponents. "Kansas City somehow wins by 14, despite playing equally... Six-and-a-half to seven-point downgrade if Mahomes can’t go." Timestamp (5:17 - 5:34) | Discussion on Patrick Mahomes' injury and impact. Analysis: Fezzik emphasizes Mahomes’ health as the most significant factor for the Chiefs. The absence of Mahomes would result in a significant downgrade, reflected in early spreads favoring the Texans (-2.5). This showcases how injury speculation immediately shifts betting lines. "Detroit absolutely dominated that game. Big uptick for Buffalo, huge downtick for Detroit because of the defensive injuries." Timestamp (5:57 - 7:03) | Buffalo’s dominance vs. Detroit’s injury struggles. Insight: Despite a narrow scoreline, Fezzik highlights Buffalo’s control of the game and Detroit’s growing injury concerns. Detroit losing RB David Montgomery (meniscus injury) and multiple defensive players raises questions about their long-term competitiveness. "Tampa Bay is surging. They're up to my number seven team. San Fran is refalling... They're now my number 16 team." Timestamp (10:08 - 10:21) | Mid-tier team power ratings shift. Insight: Tampa Bay has climbed in Fezzik’s power ratings, while San Francisco has plummeted due to key issues. The contrast underscores how injuries, poor execution, and form fluctuations impact a team's perception, even late in the season. "The efficiency of the marketplace has gotten more and more difficult... Atlanta game closes as a 6.5-point favorite and wins by exactly six." Timestamp (14:06 - 16:35) | Fezzik explains modern betting efficiency. Insight: Fezzik highlights how the NFL betting market has become increasingly efficient, particularly in line movement. The Atlanta game serves as a prime example where early bets (Falcons -4) were profitable, but late value was minimal. Team and Player AnalysisKey Players Desmond Ritter (Atlanta Falcons): Critical to Atlanta’s struggles, Fezzik criticized Ritter’s conservative play, burning time without effective gains. Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs): Mahomes’ injury speculation influenced spreads, downgrading the Chiefs’ power rating by 6.5–7 points. David Montgomery (Detroit Lions): Out with a knee injury, Montgomery’s absence adds significant pressure on Detroit’s offense. Jonathan Taylor (Indianapolis Colts): Munaf jokes about Taylor's critical blunder, emphasizing coaching responsibility in key moments. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The guys also preview both MNF games and give out a best bet.Key Player Prop InsightsQuarterbacks Mac Jones Prop (2:43-4:10) Prop: Over 1 interception (-135). Rationale: Jones has thrown 5 interceptions in the last three games. Jaguars' turnover differential tied for the league's second-worst. Jets' defense, among the best, could capitalize on Jones’ risky playstyle. Analysis: Coaching and situational play have hindered Jones, leaving him vulnerable to interceptions. Bonus: Jameis Winston over 1 interception (-175), justified by his 9 interceptions over five games. Bryce Young Prop (4:11-6:31) Prop: Over 13.5 rushing yards. Stats: Young has surpassed this threshold in 4 consecutive weeks, with 20+ rushing yards in three games. Context: Facing the Cowboys, who have been vulnerable to QB scrambles, makes this a favorable matchup. Bonus Insight: Longest rush prop for Young is also considered viable. Running Backs Justice Hill (Baltimore Ravens) (7:36-9:31) Prop: Over 12.5 rushing yards. Justification: Ravens are heavy favorites against the Giants. Backup opportunities likely for Hill due to potential blowout. Performance: Hill has surpassed this number on a single carry multiple times this season.

Defense Analysis: Bills' defense allows 44.5 receiving yards per game to running backs. Wide Receivers Devon Achane (Miami Dolphins) (14:07-15:53) Prop: Over 33.5 receiving yards. Factors: Dolphins' WR injuries (Waddle, Hill) increase reliance on Achane. Texans' defense weakened by the loss of key tacklers like Jalen Pitre. Trend: Despite struggles in rushing, Achane has been effective as a receiving threat. Khalil Shakir (Buffalo Bills) (15:53-19:12) Prop: Over 53.5 receiving yards. Highlights: Averaging 7+ targets per game in recent weeks. Strong yards-after-catch capabilities; surpassed 100 yards in the last game.

Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles) (22:05-28:05) Prop: Under 37.5 rushing yards. Rationale: Pittsburgh Steelers' defense, accustomed to scrambling QBs, is disciplined.

Key Points: Falcons are motivated to stay alive in the NFC South race. Raiders struggle offensively with quarterback uncertainty. Significant point differential (-125) signals Raiders' challenges.
