RJ bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers discuss NFL Week 2 recap. The discuss what you need to know for NFL week 3 early in the week.Summary: NFL Weeks 2 & 3 Recap (Speaker: RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik)(01:17) Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers' defense, led by T.J. Watt, dominated through turnovers and pressure. Fezzik upgraded Pittsburgh after initially betting under 8.5 wins. Defense remains key as they won despite being outgained by Denver.(03:19) Quarterback Play: RJ discussed the declining quality of NFL quarterbacks compared to the era of Brady and Rodgers. Only Mahomes consistently delivers, while Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence have struggled, especially with third-down conversions.(10:25) Baltimore Ravens: Despite leading the league in yards per play (6.0), turnovers and poor late-game execution plagued the Ravens. Lamar Jackson's offensive line issues contributed to his inconsistency, and Fezzik downgraded them by half a point.(22:34) Denver Broncos: Although Denver outgained opponents, they failed to win due to turnovers and poor execution. Russell Wilson's flashes of brilliance weren't enough, as Fezzik pointed out their yardage success was misleading.(05:08) Philadelphia Eagles: Sirianni's decision to throw on 3rd-and-3 with 1:46 remaining in Week 2 cost the Eagles the game. Fezzik criticized the decision, calling it "a fireable offense," as Atlanta capitalized to win.(59:28) San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy’s Week 3 was a rollercoaster. Despite strong stats (319 yards), late-game fumbles and interceptions cost the 49ers. Fezzik questioned Purdy’s ability to handle pressure.(16:44) Kansas City Chiefs: Mahomes pulled off a critical 4th-and-16 conversion, leading to another clutch win. Fezzik emphasized Mahomes’ unmatched ability to capitalize on mistakes, setting him apart as the best quarterback.(47:08) Carolina Panthers: Carolina’s reliance on analytics failed as they converted only 25% of 4th-down attempts in Week 3. Fezzik criticized their aggressive play-calling, pointing out their offense isn't equipped to execute such plays. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Steve Fezzik talk NFL Week 2 aftermath. Fezzik and Munaf also do a quick reaction to NFL Week 3 and talk Vegas steak locations.NFL Week 2 Recap: Phony Final Scores, Betting Tips, and Quick Reactions to Week 3In this episode of Fezzik's Focus, Steve Fezzik and Munaf Manji provide an in-depth analysis of the key games from Week 2, focusing on misleading final scores, the impact of player injuries, and power rankings adjustments. They also offer their quick reactions to Week 3 and some recommendations for the best steak spots in Las Vegas.Phony Final Scores (02:34)Fezzik identifies several "phony" final scores where the scoreboard didn’t reflect the true game dynamics. For instance, the Las Vegas Raiders’ upset win over the Baltimore Ravens is considered misleading. The Ravens dominated in yards per play but collapsed late in the game, a recurring issue for Baltimore. Similarly, Detroit outgained Tampa Bay in yardage but struggled in the red zone, leading to a deceptive loss.Impact of Injuries (14:47)Injuries played a huge role in Week 2, particularly for the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. The Rams were decimated, losing key offensive players like Cooper Kupp, leading to a three-point downgrade in Fezzik’s power ratings. Fezzik also points out that Bryce Young was benched in Carolina, giving the Panthers a two-point upgrade with veteran Andy Dalton starting.Betting Strategies (07:54)Fezzik emphasizes the importance of betting early to get the best lines. Using the Denver vs. Pittsburgh game as an example, he explains how the line moved from +3.5 to +2.5, showing that missing the best number can turn a winning bet into a losing one.Week 3 Reactions (18:16)Fezzik and Munaf agree that due to injuries on both teams, the best bet for the San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams game is the under. Both teams are struggling with offensive injuries, making it likely that scoring will be low.Steakhouse Recommendations (19:29)For those visiting Las Vegas, Fezzik recommends several steakhouse options. Ellis Island is his go-to for budget dining, while SW Steakhouse at the Wynn is a top choice for high-end dining with a great view.Key Quotes:Steve Fezzik (02:34):"Raiders got whomped on in the stats... Ravens collapsing in the fourth quarter, nothing new there."Munaf Manji (14:04):"Bryce Young has shown nothing so far. This is a two-point upgrade with Dalton starting."Steve Fezzik (18:16):"With all these injuries, the bet to make is the under for the 49ers-Rams game." Learn more about your ad choices.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg go over the MLB Postseason races and have a spirited MVP debate.Summary: The Inside Pitch with Josh Towers - MLB Postseason and MVP RaceIn this episode of The Inside Pitch, Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg dive deep into the tight MLB postseason races and the heated MVP debate. They analyze division leaders, playoff outlooks, and key performances from players like Francisco Lindor, Shohei Otani, and Aaron Judge.Postseason Race BreakdownScott Seidenberg (0:12) opens by discussing the current standings across the MLB divisions. The Yankees lead the AL East, while the Phillies and Dodgers are on top in the NL. As Josh Towers (1:46) points out, experience and mental toughness will determine who can handle the pressure, citing Houston’s dominance in the AL West. However, the Twins, despite leading the wild card race, may falter due to bullpen overuse and inconsistency.Francisco Lindor: Underrated MVP ContenderScott Seidenberg (11:43) makes a strong case for Francisco Lindor as a National League MVP candidate, noting his impressive stats and leadership as both a defensive and offensive powerhouse. However, Josh Towers (17:33) argues that Shohei Otani’s historic offensive season, with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases, puts him ahead despite playing primarily as a DH.MVP Debate: Otani vs. LindorThe hosts debate the value of defense in the MVP conversation. Seidenberg (22:09) points out that Lindor’s two-way contributions at shortstop give him an edge, while Towers (16:45) believes Otani’s offensive feats make him the clear choice, despite not playing in the field.Yankees’ Aaron Judge in the MVP MixScott Seidenberg (15:16) highlights Aaron Judge’s consistency as a key reason he remains a strong MVP candidate. While Josh Towers (33:16) acknowledges Judge’s dominance, he also brings up Bobby Witt Jr. as a contender, particularly with his base-stealing and triple-hitting prowess.Detroit Tigers’ Playoff PushDetroit’s 22-10 record since August 11 is the best in MLB, as Josh Towers (37:02) credits the Tigers' coaching for turning the team around. The upcoming series against Kansas City is pivotal, with Towers emphasizing that if they sweep the Royals, their playoff hopes are alive.ConclusionAs the MLB season winds down, the competition for playoff spots and the MVP title intensifies. Teams like the Twins and Tigers are fighting for survival, while stars like Lindor, Otani, and Judge vie for MVP honors, making the final stretch of the 2024 season must-watch baseball.Timestamped speakers: Scott Seidenberg (0:12, 11:43, 15:16, 22:09) Josh Towers (1:46, 17:33, 16:45, 33:16, 37:02) Learn more about your ad choices.
