    Dec 7 2025

    Tune in today for another can’t-miss episode of The Sports Zone with Patrick Highland and the full crew! We’re kicking things off with an exclusive deep dive into Scott’s brand-new restaurant, Opportunity Knocks – the hot new spot that’s already getting rave reviews for serving some of the highest-quality, juiciest meats in town (think prime cuts, perfect seasoning, and portions that’ll make any carnivore weak in the knees). From there, the debate heats up: does Two Lane actually deserve to be ranked the 12th-best team in the country, or is the committee completely out of touch? Scott drops his unfiltered take on Alabama football, explaining exactly why he believes the Crimson Tide are overrated and who they’re NOT better than this season. We’ll break down the entire college football slate for this weekend – marquee matchups, playoff implications, upset alerts, and bold predictions. Then, it’s rivalry week vibes as the Chicago Bears head to Lambeau to take on the Green Bay Packers in a game that never fails to deliver drama. Finally, Patrick and the guys run through every single NFL game on the Sunday docket with official picks, survivor pool advice, fantasy implications, and a few guaranteed-to-go-viral hot takes. Food, football, and zero filter – only on The Sports Zone!
