The Odd Couple with Rob Parker & Kelvin Washington

On today’s episode, Jason discusses why none of the 5-2 teams in the AFC (Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns) are actually any good, how much of a role uneven quarterback play has played in the perception that most NFL action these days is pretty mid, when we can expect the Las Vegas Raiders to bench Kirk Cousins and name Fernando Mendoza their QB1, which teams feel like the best bets to win the AFC, and why the Chicago Bears feel like the best (and most entertaining team) in the NFC. Later, J-Mac tells us why USC's upcoming game with Ohio State could be make-or-break for embattled head coach Lincoln Riley and why he'd still take embattled Texas quarterback Arch Manning in the first round of the 2027 NFL Draft. Finally, J-Mac discusses the fallout from Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jalen Williams' season-ending injury.
