The Blueprint for NFL Success is on Full Display + The Athletic's Jovan Buha

Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by quick a preview of the upcoming NFC and AFC Championship games from a betting perspective. Patrick Mahomes' ankle injury is obviously the biggest story of the week in the AFC, and in the NFC all eyes remain focused on the trenches. If you can find an early edge on either game you should definitely jump on it. Moreover, all of these teams are very talented, but one of the biggest reasons why the Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers are in the final four is that they were able to build out their rosters around quarterbacks who are still on their rookie deal contracts (Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Brock Purdy). There is no one way to win in the NFL but this definitely seems to be the most effective. Later, The Athletic Lakers beat writer Jovan Buha swings by to discuss Shannon Sharpe’s viral moment over the weekend, how Rui Hachimura fits alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, what other potential trades could be coming down the pike before the deadline, the rationale behind pushing all-in on this current Lakers squad, which Western Conference teams pose the biggest challenge for Los Angeles and much more!
