  NFL, college football, and baseball playoff preview with Dome and Gnomie. Dome and Gnomie cover a wide-ranging sports preview episode built around NFL week picks, MLB playoff predictions, and a college football rankings debate. The conversation moves fast, but the biggest throughline is which teams are actually real contenders versus pretenders.They also spend a lot of time on quarterback narratives, from Brock Purdy and Josh Allen to Case Keenum, Arch Manning, and Bo Nix, plus how coaching and system fit can change fantasy and real-life outcomes.Key topics In the episode opener, Dome and Gnomie talk food, fast food, and egg rolls before pivoting into the sports slate.

College football talk centers on Texas, Georgia, Arch Manning, Alabama, Mississippi State, Ohio State, Iowa, Florida, Missouri, Pittsburgh, and Virginia Tech. They spend a big chunk of the episode on MLB playoff brackets, including Yankees-Rays, Guardians-White Sox, Padres-Brewers, and Dodgers as the team to beat.

  Episode 25-The Unfiltered Spin

  Sep 17, 20261h 11m

  Revamp Preview: College Football, NFL Week 2, Mailbox, and Hot TakesWe’re back with a fast-moving football preview that mixes college football rankings, NFL Week 2 picks, fantasy angles, and a fresh new mailbox segment. Gnomie and Dome trade hot takes, debate quarterback value, and break down the biggest matchups on the board.This one is heavily football-focused and opinion-driven, with two voices carrying the full conversation and plenty of specific stats, schedules, and betting angles.Key topics In this episode, Gnomie and Dome open by talking through the overload of sports in October and why this is the best time of year for sports fans. They introduce the new “Unfiltered Spin” wheel, using random prompts to trigger hot takes on quarterbacks, Heisman candidates, overrated teams, and injuries. Dome argues that having a star quarterback is overrated in the NFL, pointing to teams like the Giants, Ravens, Seahawks, and past Super Bowl winners built around game managers. Gnomie makes the case for Drew Mestermaker as a Heisman candidate, highlighting his rise from zero-star punter and walk-on to Oklahoma State quarterback. Both hosts agree Notre Dame is overrated, with Gnomie pointing to a weak schedule and Dome pointing to their third-down issues and inflated early-season profile. Gnomie unloads on the Cleveland Browns, calling for Shador Sanders to get a shot while blasting Deshaun Watson and the team’s long-running dysfunction. Dome makes the case that NFL injuries are worsening because players are doing less contact work in camp and practicing too far below game speed. They break down the controversial “intent” ruling on strip-sack plays, comparing the Jared Goff and Bo Nix incidents and warning that the call will create playoff chaos later. The mailbox segment covers AJ Brown injury fallout for New England, the Lions-Bills Thursday night fantasy outlook, and whether Rams skill players should still be started after the Melbourne loss. The college slate includes detailed takes on North Carolina-Clemson, Florida State-Alabama, Mississippi State-South Carolina, Virginia Tech-Maryland, and Florida-Auburn. The biggest college matchup breakdown is LSU at Ole Miss, where both hosts see LSU as the better team but Gnomie still roots hard for Lane Kiffin’s former program to pull the upset. The NFL Week 2 picks run through Buffalo-Detroit, Carolina-Atlanta, Minnesota-Chicago, Eagles-Titans, Steelers-Patriots, Packers-Jets, Browns-Bucs, Saints-Ravens, Bengals-Texans, Jaguars-Broncos, Raiders-Chargers, Commanders-Cowboys, Seahawks-Cardinals, Dolphins-49ers, Colts-Chiefs, and Giants-Rams. The show closes with a strong conversation about Jackson Dart, with both hosts seeing real long-term upside and debating whether he already belongs in the “star quarterback” conversation.
