Rob kicks off the first episode of 2026 by revisiting his initial NFL playoff predictions made before the season began. He then breaks down the official playoff bracket, goes round by round with his updated picks, and caps it all off with his Super Bowl matchup, champion, and MVP prediction.

After that, Jerry joins the show as the duo dives into the chaos surrounding the current NFL coaching landscape. They discuss the shocking availability of future Hall of Fame and Super Bowl–winning head coach John Harbaugh, who was recently let go by the Ravens, as well as the Browns parting ways with highly respected coach Kevin Stefanski.

The episode wraps up with thoughts on the Miami Dolphins, who are navigating a complex offseason that includes a GM search, reported outreach to Harbaugh’s camp, and continued commitment to Mike McDaniel — a situation reminiscent of when the franchise pursued Jim Harbaugh years ago while Tony Sparano was still under contract.

It’s a football-filled episode to kick off the new year!
