On this episode of 3 & Out, John is back from the road, coming to you live from a Marriott couch and he starts by giving Jerry Jones credit, which he acknowledges is not a sentence people are used to hearing. With the Cowboys extending Quinnen Williams (00:56), John walks through the full accounting of the Micah Parsons trade: Dallas wasn't one player away, they were three or four guys away, and once Dak and CeeDee were paid, signing Parsons would have made them a four-man team on a 53-man roster. Add up Williams' guarantees plus the two rookies they drafted with the return — Caleb Downs and Malachai Lawrence — and it lands within a rounding error of Parsons' own deal. Then he gets to Jeff Hafley and the Miami Dolphins tackling to the ground in camp (07:45), which in 2026 is about as jarring as seeing a guy light a cigarette. Miami can't manufacture a December trip to Buffalo in 84-degree sunshine, so the only lever a staff has is mandated physicality — and John connects it to his own father drawing a line in the sand and putting him on a Sacramento-area ranch every summer from ninth grade on. He also finds the one sliver of optimism in losing a top-ten left tackle (16:07): at least it happened in August, when you still have a month to canvass the league. Then the Bills' new stadium backlash (19:00) and why internet comment sections are a separate reality from the real world, and Dad Diaries (22:19) — a Friday night of tequila in Newport Beach that coincided, unfortunately, with the worst night of sleep his wife has ever had.

Then it's a full mailbag (27:34). Was the Cousins–Crosby fallout actually coordinated between the players and Klint Kubiak (27:34)? Could Anthony Richardson be a reclamation project in Baltimore — and how did the Colts let his trade value hit zero (30:22)? Should recovery peptides be legal in the NFL, and where's the line between recovery and steroids (33:32)? Bill Barnwell's all-decade team and why John thinks it's Mahomes over Josh Allen, plus why building an all-decade team halfway through the decade is a fool's errand (35:47). A high school sports administrator asks about transfer and eligibility rules, which sends John into holding eighth graders back for athletics and the Danny Almonte energy creeping into youth sports (40:47). Whether Odell Beckham Jr. can stick on a roster without playing special teams (46:11), a defense of Saquon Barkley's hands (47:59), the Chiefs' wide receiver room and whether a training camp trade is coming (49:10), his actual gambling philosophy and the two parlays that keep him coming back (52:10), and finally Ja'Lynn Polk retiring two years after going 37th overall — and why the Patriots' draft record at receiver is a reminder that you're evaluating humans, not widgets (56:44).

On this episode of 3 & Out, John is pumped with football officially back. He opens on Carson Beck's Hall of Fame Game debut (01:46) and why a third-round quarterback's path is fundamentally different from a first-rounder's: you're not a five-star on scholarship, you're a backup until proven otherwise, and your preseason tape is your résumé.He likes the landing spot for Beck and explains why guys like Chase Daniel built 14-year careers almost entirely on August film. From there, he breaks down the 2026 Hall of Fame class (11:09) — Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Kuechly, Adam Vinatieri which John argues may be the highest-character group Canton has ever enshrined at once, plus a sober note on Roger Craig's dementia diagnosis and the taped acceptance.

Teddy Bridgewater's retirement (16:34) becomes John's case against the Lions, the one thing he thinks Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have done poorly while otherwise resurrecting the franchise. Investing everything in Jared Goff without ever churning cheap arms behind him is a portfolio with no diversification — and he contrasts it with the Packers' Ron Wolf philosophy and the Eagles taking a Day 3 quarterback nearly every single year. He gets into the Colts hyping Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard apparently beating out Anthony Richardson (24:53), why training camp praise from famous teammates should be discounted (27:54) with a detour into why Saban and Belichick were at their best after losses and the Cowboys (31:04), where he's bullish on the roster but not on Brian Schottenheimer's Super Bowl talk. Predictions on the Saints, Cowboys and Texans (34:31), Kyle Shanahan's concussion protocol and a rant about cross-country preseason travel (35:14), and the injury board (36:19). He closes with the Kirk Cousins–Maxx Crosby scuffle and why Klint Kubiak handled it perfectly (41:16), the compounding advantage of growing up in a football family (42:35), and a Newport Beach staycation that turned into a $60 million ocean-view real estate rant (44:11).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft.

Colin begins by arguing that GM Brett Veach of the Chiefs drafts predictably & he can’t figure out 49ers GM John Lynch, and John explains that Lynch doesn’t run the 49ers draft… head coach Kyle Shanahan does (3:00).

They discuss the backlash to the Bears taking speedster Zayvian Johnson and Colin explains that if any coach picked him, it may not be a great pick…but with Ben Johnson as coach it can work (9:00).

They move to the Rams & Colin argues that while their draft won’t grade well… outside of Ty Simpson, the Rams are drafting for the near term while they still have Matt Stafford and John believes Simpson wasn’t talented enough to justify the 13th pick (15:00).

Colin believes the Raiders crushed the draft and Fernando Mendoza could change the trajectory of the franchise (25:00), and they discuss the impact of NIL creating less seasoned, older prospects with multiple years of high-end college football experience in the later rounds (28:30).

They break down the Chiefs draft and why it made total sense for them to draft 3 defensive players with their three Top 40 picks (31:30), and Colin lauds the Cowboys for focusing on improving their defense as well by getting the steal of the draft in Caleb Downs (37:00).

They debate whether Carson Beck will see the field for the Cardinals in his first season (45:00), and they each predict four teams that didn’t make the playoffs last season that will make the playoffs in 2026 (48:00).

Finally, they react to the Steelers choosing Penn State quarterback Drew Allar (54:00).

John also dives into the Tennessee Titans’ connection to Carnell Tate and how he could fit into their offense, before taking a closer look at the New York Giants’ overall draft approach and what they’re trying to build.

Plus, the Kansas City Chiefs make another aggressive move, trading for an LSU corner—how it strengthens an already loaded roster and what it means for the AFC. And one of the more surprising storylines: Reuben Bain sliding all the way to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Did Tampa just land one of the steals of the draft?

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft.

They start with the Rams drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at pick #13 and why it was shocking for them to pick him so high after a limited sample size in college, but Colin argues if anyone can turn Simpson into a great quarterback…it’s Sean McVay (3:00).

Colin heaps praise on the Cowboys for drafting Caleb Downs and highlights the massive upgrades Dallas has made to their defense rather than paying Micah Parsons (10:30). They agree that the Bucs got great value in taking Reuben Bain at #15 after experts projected him as a top 10 pick (13:45).

They discuss the Chiefs moving up to #6 to take cornerback Mansoor Delane and both agree they had no issues with the trade up to get a much cheaper replacement for Trent McDuffie (15:00). Colin argues that both New York teams did well with their combined 4 first round picks and doesn’t see any busts in the group (23:00).

They react to the Titans taking Ohio State WR Carnell Tate at #4, and John believes Tate was a massive reach and that Tate doesn’t have the elite upside that would justify such a high pick (26:00). They both believe that Kadyn Proctor is the most likely Top 15 pick to bust based on reports about his lack of work ethic (29:15).

Colin predicts accurately that the Eagles would take USC wide receiver Makai Lemon after trading up, and says that it's the perfect move to patch the hole that will be left after the team trades AJ Brown (33:00).

They discuss the overall quality of this first round draft class, note that it’s been very offensive line heavy and explain why you can’t go wrong drafting o-line in the first round (39:00).

Finally, they discuss why the Big Ten is leaving the SEC in the dust when it comes to producing first round NFL talent and react live to the late first round picks for the Chargers, Cowboys & more (50:00+).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to react to the Seahawks dominating win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

They start with Seattle’s dominating defense pressuring Drake Maye all night and the Patriots offensive line being overwhelmed (2:45) . Colin highlights the arc of Sam Darnold’s career and that with the right coaching he was an effective game manager that didn’t make a big mistake in the biggest moment (5:15).

They point to New England’s defense getting tired in the second half due to their offense being unable to stay on the field and the dam finally breaking… but Colin argues that New England is still in a “rebuild” stage despite being in the Super BowL (9:30).

They evaluate a Seahawks roster that doesn’t have an apparent “need” and debate what pieces they should look to add to their Super Bowl winning roster (14:15), and Colin argues there haven’t been many better stories in NFL history than Sam Darnold (23:15). Colin says Drake Maye has nothing to hang his head about and lost to one of the best teams in the last decade… but that Drake wasn’t ready for this moment (31:30).

They look ahead to the 2026 season and predict which teams will be back in postseason contention & who won’t, and they agree the Seahawks GM John Schneider has locked up his case for the Hall of Fame (37:45).

Finally, Colin believes the ups and downs of Sam Darnold’s career will lead him to continue taking team friendly deals in a favorable situation (53:00), and they agree the Seahawks sale price just went up by a billion dollars (1:00:30).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the top NFL headlines.

They start with Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah being fired and point to animosity behind the scenes in Minnesota with the coaches and some bad draft choices…especially JJ McCarthy as the reasons why (3:30). Colin argues that while the organization has supported McCarthy publicly, behind the scenes there’s a serious lack of confidence in him (9:30) and Kwesi took too much time away during training camp in a business where grinding is paramount (14:00).

They discuss which of the new coaching hires will be viewed as a success in 5 years: Colin points to Raiders new head coach Klint Kubiak as a hit and John agrees and argues that if needed, the Raiders could trade Maxx Crosby for a haul that could help reset the franchise (22:30).

Colin tries to identify other quarterbacks that were labeled “busts”, then end up ascending to a convincing top 7-8 quarterback in the league and they debate where to rank Darnold in the QB hierarchy if he wins a Super Bowl (28:30). Colin argues that football has changed, and that having a quarterback with “horsepower” is worth putting up with more mistakes and interceptions (35:00).

Finally, John points out the $10 billion dollar sale price of the Lakers and they discuss why the floated 6-8 billion dollar estimated price for the Seahawks seems way too low for a team in the Super Bowl and set up for long term success (45:00).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the final week of the NFL season.

They start with the observation that the extended 17 game season has resulted in some terrible games featuring a ton of backup quarterbacks in the final week of the NFL season (2:45).

They preview the playoff field starting with the Patriots hosting the Chargers and they both agree the Chargers are a very live underdog that could upset the #2 seed Pats. Colin argues that he likes the Jaguars to win as a home underdog against the Bills and they agree the Jags can absolutely make it to the Super Bowl (11:15).

Colin predicts the Texans will be the winner in the Wild Card round regardless of whether they face the Ravens or Steelers and they both believe the Texans are the team nobody wants to play (13:15). They discuss whether the bye will be advantageous for the Broncos, but highlight that the collegiate atmosphere at Mile High Stadium is a massive home field advantage compared to other teams (16:45).

They pivot to the NFC and start with the Rams being a heavy favorite at Carolina and John argues the Rams defense has lost some of their early season mojo and both worry the Rams could be vulnerable on the road (24:45). They preview the 49ers at Eagles and Colin argues the Niners struggle offensively against good defenses like the Eagles, and that they’ll struggle to overcome all of their injuries (31:30).

They move to the Bears hosting the Packers and while Colin likes the Bears to win, John argues that the Bears defense could sink them in the postseason (37:30). Outside of the playoff picture, they discuss reports that Pete Caroll & Kevin Stefanski are going to be fired, and identify the top head coaching candidates available (47:30).

They preview the College Football Playoff semi-final games, starting with Miami vs. Ole Miss & they agree that the Hurricanes will bully their way to victory (58:15). They both take Indiana to beat Oregon for a second time and Colin argues Indiana is one of the best coached college football teams he’s ever seen and give their evaluations of quarterback Fernando Mendoza (1:06:00).

Finally they discuss another banner year for Sam Darnold with the Seahawks and why as a #1 seed, the Seahawks are going to be a brutally tough out in the playoffs (1:15:00).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the week 17 NFL Sunday slate.

They start with the Eagles holding off a late rally by the Bills to win in Buffalo and agree the Bills are entirely too Josh Allen dependent when he’s clearly not 100%, and discuss the hot/cold nature of the Eagles offense. They both agree the Bills look like a one and done team in the playoffs (2:30).

They move to the Steelers loss to the Browns putting their playoff hopes in jeopardy and point to DK Metcalf’s suspension making their offense completely inept and discuss whether Mike Tomlin’s tenure in Pittsburgh has run its course (15:00).

They recap the Seahawks win over the Panthers and Colin explains that while the Seahawks don’t excel at any one thing, they also don’t have a real weakness (29:30).

They break down the Patriots blowout win over the Jets and Colin believes that people are underselling the Pats and that if they’re “on” they can beat anybody in the AFC (35:30).

They move to the Saturday games and start with the Ravens win over the Packers. Colin believes the Ravens will beat the Steelers to make the playoffs but John counters that the Ravens can look vastly different week to week. They also believe that Malik Willis will be a hot commodity for QB needy teams in the offseason (42:30).

They move to the Texans win over the Chargers and they marvel at the resurgence of the Texans under DeMeco Ryans & break down why the Texans are a terrible matchup for the Chargers (46:30).

They pivot to the last week of games being on 4 different broadcast networks and 3 streaming services and Colin argues that it’s a BIG ask of fans to buy extra streaming services to watch late-season games where injuries can make for terrible games (56:45).

They move to the Raiders losing to the Giants that will result in the Raiders likely landing the #1 pick in the draft and debate whether the Raiders should bring back Pete Carroll for a second year or blow it up to pair a young offensive coach with Fernando Mendoza (1:01:45).

Finally, they discuss former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham being hired at Michigan and Colin explains why having an adult in the room will be a positive for UM and his style of football will work perfectly in the Big Ten (1:09:00).

They start with the Broncos winning a heavyweight fight with the Packers and agree it was the best game of Bo Nix’s career and that the Broncos stepped up big time in a “prove it” game (3:15). After key injuries to Christian Watson and Micah Parsons, they call it a “crippling game” for the Packers (9:45).

They move to the Seahawks win over the Colts in the return of 44 year old Philip Rivers. Colin argues that older, immobile quarterbacks that know the offense like Rivers and Cousins can be effective and wasn’t surprised at the close result (11:30).

They recap the Chargers win over Kansas City that eliminated Mahomes from the postseason. They agree that Justin Herbert has been better than Mahomes all season and laud the coaching of Jim Harbaugh for finding ways to win (23:45). They also explain why the Chiefs are headed for a 1-2 year retool/rebuild in a division with two other elite teams (29:00). They also react to the update of Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL and discuss what that means for the future of the Chiefs franchise and why they need to be careful bringing Mahomes back too quickly (30:30).

They move to the Bills comeback win over the Pats & argue that the Bills have to win in shootouts due to a lackluster defense and highlight an incredible second half by Josh Allen… who they agree is the best player in the NFL (35:00).

They recap the Bears beatdown of the Browns and Colin explains why the Bears look and feel like a playoff team on both sides of the ball and argues Ben Johnson might be the best coaching hire since Sean McVay (43:00).

They move to the Rams playoff clinching win over the Lions and highlight the weakness of both teams’ secondaries, but point to a nearly unstoppable Rams offense that should carry them to a division title (56:30). Staying in the NFC West, they recap the 49ers win over the Titans and they explain why the Niners are a team that nobody will want to see in the postseason (1:02:15).

Finally, they survey the standings and make their picks for teams that can win a playoff game versus teams that can win it all (1:06:30).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the Week 14 NFL action + college football.

They start with the Packers holding off the Bears 28-21 and they both argue that despite the loss the Bears proved to be a big winner on the day and proved they belong in the top tier of NFL teams (3:00).

They move to the Steelers win over the Ravens to take control of first place in the AFC North, and they agree that Lamar Jackson looks like a shell of himself and neither team is going anywhere if they make the playoffs (23:30).

They react to the final college football playoff rankings and Colin argues the key was getting Miami in, and John explains why he doesn’t like having guaranteed spots for non-power 4 conference teams (29:00). Colin breaks down why bowl games are in big trouble now that multiple teams are pulling out of them (37:30), and why he thinks Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza has likely played his way into becoming the #1 pick in the NFL draft after beating Ohio State (41:00).

They go back to the NFL to break down the Bills win over the Bengals and Colin argues that despite the win for Buffalo, they were outschemed, outplayed and can’t be trusted in the postseason (59:00). They recap Shedeur Sanders and the Browns losing to the Titans in a very uneven performance from Shedeur (1:07:00).

They pivot to the Broncos win over the Raiders in a game Colin calls “the most lopsided one score game” he’s ever seen and they debate whether the Raiders will blow it up after this season and/or potentially move on from Pete Carroll after only one season (1:16:00).

They move to the Seahawks blowout win over the Falcons & Colin explains why you can erase the Jets from Sam Darnold’s resume and that he’s proved to be a legit franchise quarterback (1:21:15). They break down the Rams blowout win over the Cardinals and why the Cardinals are completely out of their depth in an NFC West that features 3 incredible head coaches (1:26:00).

Finally, they recap the Vikings drubbing of the Commanders and argue it was JJ McCarthy’s best game and wonder whether Jayden Daniels will physically be able to hold up in the NFL (1:30:00).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 13 NFL action & top stories from college football.

They start with Lane Kiffin leaving his highly ranked Ole Miss team for rival LSU ahead of the college football playoff & explain that while they feel for Ole Miss fans… this is a calendar issue that needs to be addressed that college football may need a president to oversee the entire operation (3:00).

They move to the NFL and start with the Bills beating the Steelers in a game where a bloodied Aaron Rodgers exited early. Colin highlights that the Steelers have no quarterback of the future and they debate what should be done with both Mike Tomlin and Sean McDermott (13:00).

They revisit the Thanksgiving Day action and Colin argues that the Cowboys defense is actually improved after the Micah Parsons trade now that they’ve shored up their interior defensive line & have more flexibility (28:00).

They move to the Packers beating the Lions on Thanksgiving and Colin lauds Matt Lafleur for fixing the Packers broken passing attack and argues the Lions are MISSING Ben Johnson and will get worse before they get better (35:00).

They also discuss the limitations of the Eagles passing offense and why Nick Sirianni is incredibly dependent on his coordinators (45:45).

They recap the 49ers win over the Browns and Colin argues the 49ers deserve “coaching staff of the year” after going 9-4 despite a rash of injuries(54:15), and believe you can’t take too much away from the Rams stepping in it and losing to the Panthers (59:15).

After another quarterbacking disaster from the Vikings against the Seahawks, Colin argues they should trade for Mac Jones and move on from J.J. McCarthy (1:06:15).

Finally, they move back to college football and Colin explains why Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin looks like a future franchise quarterback in the NFL (1:18:30) and they credit Arch Manning for overcoming the noise and finding ways to play well late into the season (1:24:00).

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 12 NFL action.

They start with the Cowboys overcoming a 21-0 deficit to beat the Eagles on a walk off field goal and they highlight the Eagles inability to run the ball as a massive problem for the defending champs. They argue that Jerry Jones HAS to extend the contract for George Pickens after another dominant performance and credit Dak Prescott’s leadership (3:00).

They move to Shedeur Sanders making his first start in a game where the Browns dominated the Raiders, and believe he showed enough to get the next start at quarterback (25:00).

Colin puts the blame on Daniel Jones for the Colts blowing a late game lead to the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, and believes the Chiefs will still make the playoffs despite their 6-5 record (30:45).

They move to the Bears beating the Aaron Rodgers-less Steelers and Colin argues that Caleb Williams isn’t a great fit for Ben Johnson’s system, but they’re finding ways to make it work and have cleaned up a lot of the mistakes (38:30).

They recap the Packers win over the Vikings and they declare that J.J. McCarthy has proven he is NOT an NFL caliber starting quarterback and made a huge mistake moving off of Sam Darnold (54:00).

They break down the Seahawks win over the Titans and highlight the incredible play of JSN at wide receiver for Seattle (1:00:30), and Colin calls the Lions victory over the Giants a “bad win” and that the Lions defense will sink them despite a great offense (1:05:00).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL schedule!

They start with a ridiculously easy schedule for the 49ers (3:30) and debate whether that gives Brock Purdy leverage in contract negotiations and whether Kyle Shannahan has been too involved with drafting (6:45).

They highlight the Chiefs schedule as being particularly brutal due to their weak offensive line and the elite pass rushes they’ll face (10:30) and the pressure NFC North teams will face (15:30).

They dive into the reports that Caleb Williams debated forcing his way out of Chicago drafting him (27:00) and why he’ll be better set up for success with Ben Johnson as head coach (33:30).

Finally, they discuss what the Steelers will do at quarterback if Aaron Rodgers decides to retire (34:45) and why that franchise has stagnated in recent years (38:00)

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL Draft!

They start with the Jaguars giving up WAY too much to draft Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and believe unless he is a two-way pro bowler… the move isn’t worth it. They debate whether Cleveland reached for DT Mason Graham at #5 and believe there’s a real chance the Jags pick they received could be a top 6 pick.

They react to the Raiders selecting RB Ashton Jeanty at #6 and point out that Geno Smith has played very well with a solid run game and play action, but John adds the caveat that Jeanty played against subpar competition in college.

They laud the Jets for passing on skill players to invest in their offensive line, and worry the Panthers selection of T-Mac at wide receiver is risky since he struggled with separation in college. They argue that few 2nd year quarterbacks in the history of the game have had more weapons to work with than Caleb Williams after the Bear drafted TE Colston Loveland at #10.

They agree that the Cowboys were smart to bolster the offensive line by drafting Tyler Booker after Zach Martin retired, and express concern with the Dolphins pick of Kenneth Grant.

Colin gives kudos to Colts GM Chris Ballard for staying patient and drafting Tyler Warren at #14, believes Warren could be one of the steals of the draft. They point out that high character led to Emeka Egbuka moving up draft boards to land at #19 with the Buccaneers and that Baker Mayfield will now be working with a stacked offense.

They react to the surprise pick of the Broncos passing on offensive skill players to draft Texas CB Jahdae Barron and John explains why teams have put a premium on slot corners.

They discuss Shedeur Sanders making it past the Steelers at #21 and they predict he could fall out of the first round entirely and Colin argues the last 10 picks of the round are more interesting than the first ten.

The project that the Titans and Raiders will be the two teams that gain the most offensive juice, and Colin argues that the pick of Omarion Hampton makes the Chargers a “Jim Harbaugh football team”

They talk about the massive crowd in attendance for the draft in Green Bay, why it’s one of the best sports cities in America despite its small size, and why the Packers drafting WR Matthew Golden is in response to injuries to Christian Watson. Colin argues the Commanders draft position puts them with a group of teams with far better rosters.

They debate whether the Giants trading up to #25 to grab QB Jaxson Dart was a huge reach, and were SHOCKED the Falcons traded a future 1st to draft James Pierce Jr. They discuss the resurgence in the value of safeties after the Ravens draft S Malaki Starks from Georgia

They point to the later teams selecting for need, including the Lions selecting a defensive tackle as a product of the slew of injuries they suffered on defense in 2024, and the Commanders beefing up their offensive line to protect Jayden Daniels.

Colin expresses his surprise that Shedeur Sanders fell out of the first round in a quarterback needy league, and they look at potential landing spots for the Colorado star and marvel at the number of picks made from schools in the SEC and Big Ten.

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”!

They start with the draft evaluation for Shedeur Sanders and Colin argues that regardless of where he gets drafted, he’ll likely be the third best quarterback in his division and whether that analysis gets factored into his draft position (4:15). They dissect the Giants roster after signing Russell Wilson and whether it would make sense to pass on Shedeur and draft a different position of need (8:30).

John explains why a “high floor” isn’t really a thing when it comes to drafting whereas “high ceiling” is VERY real (12:45). They debate why teams missed on Brock Purdy in the draft, why there were signs early on that he was going to massively outperform his draft stock, and why intangibles really matter (16:00).

They look at the over/under win totals and make their predictions for who will over/under perform their expectations in Vegas. Colin predicts the Chiefs will underperform, John predicts the 49ers will overperform, and that the Dolphins will implode (26:00). They also predict overperformance from the Titans, Patriots and Chargers (31:15).

They pivot to college football and weigh in on the unorthodox pairing of Deion Sanders and Colorado, and the surprise of Deion being all in on the Buffs despite Shedeur moving on to the NFL (37:00).

They debate whether lower turnout in youth football will cause the NFL to become more like the NBA where it becomes a league of “have’s” and “have not’s” because of a diminished talent pool at lower levels, and why player mobility has transformed development (48:00).

Finally, Colin lauds college football becoming more professional in its model and why it’s been great for both the sport and fans (59:15).

Colin starts by previewing March Madness, why the SEC is clearly the conference to beat after a record 14 teams made the tournament, and makes his prediction for the winner of the big dance (2:30)!

Then he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”!

They start with the SEC’s ascendence in basketball in the past decade, why the injection of huge money to the conference from football revenues have been a boon to their other sports programs and why the travel schedule for the former Pac-12 schools in the Big Ten is a huge disadvantage (7:00).

They pivot to the NFL and what to expect from a 49ers team that finally hit the reset button after making trades and cutting key players as a contract extension for Brock Purdy looms (14:30).

They discuss why the Bears making several moves to address their offensive line shows that the franchise is getting a much needed change of culture under head coach Ben Johnson and are headed in the right direction (28:15).

They break down some of free agent signings that puzzled them, why the Cooper Kupp contract made no sense and what to make of the Seahawks after swapping out Geno Smith for Sam Darnold (35:00).

They review the options for Aaron Rodgers next team and Colin explains why the Steelers would be his LAST choice and John says Rodgers should be begging Kevin O’Connell for the opportunity to quarterback the Vikings (40:45).

Finally, they discuss Jim Harbaugh’s strategy of overdrafting offensive lineman, why the Chiefs struggles on the O-line will cause them to take a step back in 2025, and Colin explains why he LOVES the Najee Harris signing by the Chargers (1:00:00).

They start with Matthew Stafford deciding to stay in LA, debate whether the Rams asking price of a 1st round pick was too steep, and explain why Stafford would be crazy to leave the Rams in pursuit of more money (2:45).

They preview the Super Bowl matchup and agree that the Chiefs match up MUCH better with the Eagles than the Bills would have (34:00).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 17 NFL action!

They start with the Vikings hanging on to beat the Packers and Colin argues that Sam Darnold’s brilliant play has earned him a contract in the 50m+/yr range and Minnesota would be crazy not to give it to him (3:00). They debate whether the Patriots should look to make a coaching change now that they’ve found their quarterback or whether they should stay the course with Jerod Mayo (21:00).

They heap praise on Jim Harbaugh and highlight the incredible improvement shown by the Chargers in his first year as head coach (27:00) and they debate whether Bills head coach Sean McDermott should lose his job if they make a playoff exit prior to the AFC championship (36:15).

They discuss Aaron Rodgers taking not-so-subtle shots at Jets owner Woody Johnson and what the Jets should do at coach and quarterback in 2025 (41:45). They argue that Joe Burrow is playing quarterback better than anyone in the league after the Bengals beat the Broncos (52:30) and debate which wild card teams are capable of winning a playoff game (58:30).

They try to make sense of the incredibly up and down nature of the LA Rams (1:01:00), and Colin offers a Mea Culpa for spending so long defending Kyler Murray and wonders if the Cardinals could look to trade him in the offseason (1:05:30). They also address the disparity between the top and bottom teams in the league and the large number of really BAD teams at the bottom of the standings and debate whether it’s a one-off or a trend (1:17:00).

Finally, they pivot to college football’s top stars and try to project where players like Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward and Travis Hunter will land (1:22:00), and make their picks for the College Football Playoff games (1:30:00).

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).

John is back reacting to a loaded Week 14 NFL Sunday, capped by Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs narrowly avoiding defeat to Justin Herbert, Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers on an epic Sunday Night Football matchup. Middlekauff proceeds to recap an awesome weekend of football, breaking down Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce stepping up late in the game to cap a 19-17 Kansas City Chiefs victory as the AFC West powerhouse improves to 12-1 on the season.

Colin Cowherd Podcast - Saquon For MVP? 49ers Need A Reboot, Lions Offense Is Dominant, Bo Nix Surpasses Jayden Daniels, Vikings QB Controversy?

Colin reacts to Sunday Night Football and Saquon Barkley scorching the Rams for 302 all-purpose yards and 2 touchdowns!

They start with a sinking 49ers team, why it needs a rebuild (18:00) and debate how they should handle a potential contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy (21:15). They pivot to the Vikings and discuss whether Minnesota should risk moving on from Sam Darnold, or keep him and trade rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy (25:15). Despite losing in overtime, Colin sees reasons for optimism for Bears fans (30:45)

They break down a crazy ending to Commanders/Cowboys (44:15), why Jayden Daniels has been surpassed by Bo Nix for Offensive Rookie of the Year (46:15) and why Sean Payton deserves a mountain of credit for building the Broncos into a really good football team (48:45).

They weigh in on the Chiefs “experimenting” to try and find what works while still managing to win close games (01:01:00), and whether the Panthers will give Bryce Young another year under center (01:05:30). They also explain why the Titans can feel comfortable running it back at quarterback with Will Levis next season (01:07:15).

They pivot to college football and recap Ohio State’s dominant win over Indiana (01:30:00) and Oklahoma shutting down Alabama (01:35:00), and debate who’s in and who’s out after some big upsets on Saturday (01:40:00). Colin preaches patience for USC and why with some smart allocation of NIL money the Trojans could be competitive next year (01:41:00).

Finally, they examine the weak incoming crop of college quarterbacks and wonder whether the Jets will be looking to draft a quarterback and move on from a “poorly” aged Aaron Rodgers (01:48:00).

Then, John explains why Saquon Barkley is putting together an MVP level campaign behind Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown and a stout defense as the Philadelphia Eagles improve to 8-2 on the season.

John Middlekauff returns after another edition of Monday Night Football between the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa facing off against Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. John discusses how the Los Angeles Rams offense has looked stagnant since their team has gotten relatively healthy and wonders if the Rams are in trouble in the NFC West. Then, Middlekauff explains why this loss was “devastating” for Sean McVay’s squad who now finds themselves behind the 8-ball in a playoff race in the NFC. Despite having Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back the Rams couldn’t figure out how to move the ball against a Dolphins defense that stepped up to the plate on a big Monday night, and now they face an uphill battle heading into the second half of the NFL season. John salutes the Dolphins dynamic weapons in Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De’Von Achane and Tua Tagovailoa for knocking out a 23-15 win and explains why the 3-6 squad is better than their record indicates. Then, another edition of Penthouse/Outhouse featuring Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, Jared Goff’s Detroit Lions, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, the hapless New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys and the Port-a-Potty Carolina Panthers. Next, John wonders what current college football coaches, such as Kirby Smart and Lane Kiffin, could jump ship and head to the NFL like Nick Saban, Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh. Finally, John hits on a few major stories around the NFL. The Chicago Bears' dysfunction starts at the top of the organization. What are the Indianapolis Colts going to do moving forward? New Orleans Saints interim head coach, Darren Rizzi, clogs the toilet and wins a game. Jerry Jones continues his nonsensical ways.

John is back to discuss the thrilling Sunday Night Football tilt between the “team of destiny” Detroit Lions and Houston Texans. Middlekauff salutes Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions for holding on to win 26-23, despite Goff throwing 5 interceptions in a hard-fought battle in Houston, Texas. Middlekauff uses tonight's messy first half to illustrate the Detroit Lions resilience and explains why coming back from being down 23-7 is a testament to the NFC North’s grit and mental toughness and explains why the Lions might be on par with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs this season. John breaks down the Detroit Lions impressive comeback and explains why both teams’ struggling quarterbacks led to a gritty battle in a big game that saw the Detroit Lions move to 8-1 on the season. Then, John explains why the Houston Texans, who burst onto the scene led by rookie QB CJ Stroud last season, seem to have lost the magic that got them into the NFL’s playoffs in 2023.

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to talk offseason football!

They begin with trying to make sense of the NFL Top 100 rankings and Lamar Jackson being ranked higher than Patrick Mahomes (3:00). Then, they dive into the drama playing out in San Francisco and the 49ers being forced to choose whether to pay Trent Williams or Brandon Aiyuk (12:00), and Colin argues that #1 receivers are overvalued and point to Mahomes playing better WITHOUT Tyreek Hill (16:30).

They discuss the new kickoff rule and point out that if it doesn’t work, the league won’t hesitate to change it again (26:30). They debate whether JJ McCarthy and Bo Nix will have more success than the QB’s drafted higher than them because they have offensive minded coaches (35:00), and break down the vibe shift in the building for the Chargers with Jim Harbaugh as the head coach (45:00).

Finally, they talk about how NIL has changed the college football landscape and the ability of just one deep pocketed booster to supercharge a program (54:00), and the resurgence of popularity for the Olympics (01:06:00)!

John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” joins Colin to break down the divisional round of the NFL playoffs!

On today's episode, Jason opens things up with a quick thought on the group of rioters who breached the US Capitol building on Wednesday. Although we do make a concerted effort to stay out of politics on the show, when terrorists threaten our democracy, who won the game and whether or not your 3-team teaser hit just don't seem as important. Later, Jason does a deep dive into Deshaun Watson's cryptic tweet following the Houston Texans' decision to hire Nick Caserio as their new general manager. It's impossible to know for sure if Watson's 'some things never change' tweet was about the hire, but the timing definitely seems to fit. The decisions to hire Caserio (who wasn't on their search firm's list of preferred candidates) and not even interview Eric Bieniemy for their vacant head coaching job (who Watson has long-preferred) makes one thing very clear: the Texans don't give a damn what their franchise quarterback thinks. They're going to keep doing what they've always done, and they're going to continue to waste the best years of Watson's career in the process. The NFL would be better off if Watson would just force his way out of town; his time is far too valuable to be spent working for such a clueless franchise. Finally, Jason closes the show by sharing his thoughts on a few of the biggest headlines to come out of Wednesday night's action, including the first back-to-back appearance by Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard. Maybe 'Load Management' is a thing of the past once and for all...?

On today’s episode, Jason does a quick preview of tonight’s Thursday Night Football matchup between the Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars, and explains why if things go the way he thinks they’re going to go, we could see Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa under center sooner than later. If the Dolphins are serious about winning, it only makes sense to turn to Tua. As we’ve seen with guys like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, the blueprint is simple: Build around your star quarterback while he’s on his rookie contract. Later, Jason throws heavy praise on Miami Heat rookie Tyler Herro after the sharpshooter dropped 37 points to put the Heat up 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals, and explain why he wouldn’t include Herro in any trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason. Plus, former NFL scout and host of the ‘3 & Out’ podcast John Middlekauff swings by to tell us why he thinks Monday night’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs is much bigger for the Ravens than it is for the Chiefs, discuss what improvements he’s seen from Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen thus far, explain why he sees little to be optimistic about if you’re a New York Jets fan, and much more! Finally, Jason looks to end his cold streak by throwing down a 2-team (and 2-sport) parlay in the Thursday edition of the Best Bet.
