This one has it all. April, Joe, Keith and Ron examine the big game from prop bets to passing games and marriage proposals to Todd Blackledge sightings. You will hear detailed predictions including final scores right down to details of the last drives of the game. Joe and Keith, noted gambling "hobbyists," provide insight on prop bets ranging from the length of the National Anthem to the color of Gatorade as well as more serious wagers like rushing and receiving totals. Life-long Chief fan April takes on the alleged "Chief bias" shown by the NFL and officials and Keith considers how mid-majors are getting squeezed out of the college basketball scene. The Cardinal semis are headed to Florida and Jim Edmonds offers some blunt analysis. MIzzou continues to roll and the Pro Bowl decline reaches a new low. All of this and much more packed into one fast-moving episode.

Tom, Doug, Keith and Ron discuss the spiraling Blues and Brandon Saad pays the price. At least if he makes it to Springfield, his teammates may eat well. Tyler Tucker is Champ Kind and the Chiefs may be riding high, but not for one local merchant. Mizzou continues to play well and Caleb Grill has never met a shot he doesn't like. The Ilini searches for consistency at all hours of the day and one coach has had enough. The gang considers the most stupid rules in all of sports, and yes, Rob Manfred is front and center. And with one state school going 6-16 from the free throw line, is it time to reconsider the Rick Barry method?

Joe, Doug, Keith and Ron take a deep dive into playoff football. Along the way, they discuss that the Rams' move to LA was hinted at much earlier than public knowledge. Ohio State's performance in the college football playoffs was impressive despite earlier criticism. The NCAA transfer portal continues to confound, the NFL playoffs offer a little bit of everything, Jaden Daniels is emerging as a top quarterback in the league and the gang offers way-too-early Super Bowl predictions. Mizzou basketball has made a remarkable comeback this season and Dennis Gates is a big reason why. Keith delivers an epic rant on inaction from the Cardinals, Hall of Fame voters get it right except for the numbskull who didn't vote for Ichiro. The Blues continue to search for consistency as major challenges lie ahead.
