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 Metrics

Scott 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 Fundamentals

Steve 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 Results

Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos

Steve 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 Lions

Scott 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 Resurgence

Mackenzie 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

  1. Buffalo Bills: 13.5-point favorites over New England (36:17-36:57).
  2. Eagles vs. Commanders:
  • Line: Eagles -3; Fezzik believes it should be -4.5 based on power ratings (39:01-39:52).
