Alfredo Brown, Pat Fitzmaurice and Andrew Erickson break down the latest NFL news, preview some of the biggest games on the Week 9 schedule and make their boldest predictions for the weekend.

The show begins with Jonathan Taylor and the Colts, as trade rumors continue to build ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Could Taylor be held out against Dallas to protect his trade value? And which landing spots would be best for his fantasy football outlook?

The guys also discuss the latest Josh Jacobs situation in Green Bay and whether the Packers could enter the Jonathan Taylor sweepstakes before taking a look at a wide-open NFL MVP race involving Josh Allen, Brock Purdy, Joe Burrow, Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence and Jared Goff.

Then, it’s time to preview the biggest Week 9 matchups.

Can Carson Wentz and Justin Jefferson help Minnesota upset Buffalo? Who wins the Packers-Patriots showdown between Jordan Love and Drake Maye? Is Houston’s defense about to make life miserable for Justin Herbert? And can Joe Milton provide a much-needed spark for Philadelphia against the Giants?

Finally, the crew makes its bold Week 9 calls, including a Buccaneers upset over Chicago, a Saints victory that could completely reshape the NFC South and an Ashton Jeanty receiving performance that could even outshine Christian McCaffrey.
