Cody and Dearian recap NFL Week 9, including the Jaguars’ win over the Ravens, Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ scoring surge, and the Packers’ big win over the Patriots. They debate Lamar Jackson’s postseason résumé, question what’s gone wrong with the Eagles, and discuss the Broncos’ defense, the Rams’ reliance on Puka Nacua, and the Vikings’ quarterback situation. Plus, plenty of fantasy and betting talk—and the show’s signature hot takes.

Cody and Dearian break down NFL Week 7 on The Take Factory, recorded in person. They go game by game, with betting angles, stats and hot takes.

Chargers: Winless talk, and a Justin Herbert grocery-store story. Steelers 16, Saints 10: The first NFL game in Paris. It had only 13 possessions, and the Saints' running backs managed 11 yards on 14 carries. Falcons 29, 49ers 20: Four 49ers turnovers, injuries at receiver, and why Atlanta is so hard to bet on. Bengals 35, Ravens 13: Baltimore led 13-0 at halftime. Cincinnati then scored a touchdown on all five second-half drives. Giants 27, Texans 21: JJ McCarthy is on a hot streak. They ask what it means for Jackson Dart, and for Cam Skattebo. Browns 27, Titans 24: Cleveland is 5-2 after another close finish, and Cody is warming to the Browns. Vikings 16, Colts 10: They test whether Minnesota's defense is really elite or just played weak offenses. Broncos 30, Cardinals 16: Bo Nix's long run. Rams over Raiders: Their run-heavy game plan. Seahawks over Chiefs: Seattle held Mahomes without a red-zone trip. Sam Darnold keeps finding Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had nine catches for 150 yards

NFL Week 7 Betting Preview: Browns, Giants, Chiefs and Eagles Plays You Need Before Sunday

The best Week 7 edges might not be where the public is looking. Cody and Dearian break down the slate game by game, then close with their favorite bets of the week - including a few lines they think are already mispriced and one Eagles take that could spark a full-on victory lap.

If you want sharp, fast, no-nonsense betting leans before you lock in your card, this episode has you covered. The guys get into what matters most: injury news, travel spots, short-week angles, and where the books may be hanging a number that is just a little too high or too low.
You'll hear why Bears-Pats could turn into a shootout, why Steelers-Saints in Paris has the feel of a weirdly live over, and why Bengals-Ravens might hinge entirely on Lamar Jackson's status. They also flag Browns-Titans as a brutal low-total grinder, debate Vikings-Colts and Dolphins-Jets as danger zones, and break down whether the Panthers can keep rolling against Tampa Bay.

NFL Week 3 Recap: Drake Maye Disaster, Bills Stay Undefeated & Commanders Shock Seattle

Cody and Dearian break down Jacksonville’s win over New England, Buffalo staying unbeaten against the Chargers, Washington’s surprise win over Seattle, Atlanta steamrolling Green Bay, and the Ravens escaping the Cowboys in Brazil.

They also get into whether the Jaguars are legitimate contenders, what has gone wrong for the Texans and Chargers, why the Bengals’ defense may not be what it seemed, and whether the Commanders are actually better off without Jayden Daniels.

Plus: Drake Maye takes criticism, Aaron Rodgers gets a little redemption, and the hosts deliver their Week 3 takes of the week.
