Richie Incognito & Christian Fauria are BACK for another week of NFL debates, bold predictions, and football talk!

Plus, the guys break down the Shedeur Sanders debate over whether this will be Sanders only chance to earn that starter spot, and ask what New England needs to do to get the win against the Packers. They also crown the Steelers defensive line as Punishers of the Week, and give their initial reactions to Rashee Rice bankruptcy news. Then they look at the teams who haven’t struck gold at all this season and give their take on how the Vikings defense can stop John Allen and the BUF offense.

Richie and Christian break down the Raiders' brutal beatdown yesterday against the Rams. Las Vegas fell behind 28-6 at the half and lost 35-21, extending its losing streak to four games after a 3-0 start. How did the season turn so fast? The Jets are 2-5 after a loss to the previously winless Dolphins. When does Aaron Glenn finally get fired? We dig into what it will take for New York to make a move. We also look at which teams winning right now will still be winning in January. Some fast starts are built to last, and others are due to fade. We size up who's real and who's a mirage before the playoff race heats up.
