Episode 16.05, the Week 5 Show.
Airdate: Tuesday, October 6th, 2026.

The week when Steven climbed back into the race. Steven stops Axis from gloating, at least for one week, as he goes 5-1 in the six games he and Axis disagreed on. Axis maintains a one game lead and says Steven best not get used to it as she still has the lead and will always have the lead.

Steven doesn't let her ruin his day as he says he is coming for her with total control and is laser focus and determinatino now. This week, Steven and Axis differ on a whopping EIGHT games. They are picking differently in more than half the Week 5 NFL slate. Someone is going to jump out to a commanding lead after Week 5 or they both go 4-4 and nothing changes. Come listen in on all the chaos as Man vs AI continues.

In NFL News, the injury bug continues to hit teams hard and Steven lays out his theory for why the NFL is getting hit hard with injuries more and more these days. He blames conditioning and the lack of physical contact during practices.

Axis jumps out to a five game lead, which looks worse than it is and she makes Steven recap Week 3 to point out his errors. Steven counters saying all five games she won were decided in the final moments of the game and Axis says the only thing that matters is the win.

As Steven continues to fight for humanity agasint Axis, he accidentally calls her a robot. That's probably not going to go over very well. This week, the pair differ on six games. Will Axis increase her lead or will Steven close the gap.

The season is underway and Axis gets a little upset when Steven glosses over her one game lead. That's right, A.I. is in the lead to start the season, just like it said it would going 11-5 in Week 1. Steven is right behind at 10-6.

The Rams and Cowboys, both teams everyone was picking as the NFC represntative for the Super Bowl, lost in embarrasing fashion. But Axis reminds us that it is a long season and reminds us that Steven will almost never pick against them.

Episode 16.01, the Welcome Back to Football Week 1 Show.
Airdate: Monday, September 7th, 2026.

After six seasons away, Steven Miranda is back, and he's brought a new co-host. Meet Axis Iron, the AI-powered analyst who has spent the offseason refining her algorithm, analyzing multiple years of NFL data and stats, and has now run 10,000 simulations on each Week 1 matchup. She is not shy about letting Steven know it.

Steven kicks off the new season by breaking down the show's new format. Steven vs. the machine. He explains how Axis Iron works and why he is confident that 15 years of watching football beats any algorithm. Axis Iron, of course, disagrees.

The two go head-to-head on all 17 Week 1 matchups and manage to agree on most of them, but they split on 6 games, and those are the ones worth paying attention to. Who do you trust: the guy who's been watching football since before some of these players were born, or the AI crunching numbers in the background?

Axis Iron gives her straight-up LOCK of the WEEK, and Steven counters with his LOCK of the WEEK against the spread. Two picks. Two very different approaches. Let's see who gets the last laugh.

Julian Edelman is arrested for vandalism, and Steven just could not resist to play a little Good Ole Boys.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yes, we know that was 8 days ago, but this is our first show of 2020!!! Steven had family in from TX and Steve was Mr. Rose Bowl, so the end of 2019 was super crazy for both guys.

But enough about that. We are back as the Playoffs hit the Divisional Playoff Weekend. Steven has a guarantee about the Super Bowl that shocks Steve.

The three NFC East teams not in playoffs all have a new head coach along with the Carolina Panthers and it leads Steven to share a FREEZING COLD TAKE… the more things change, the more they stay the same!

The Cowboys are in a tailspin, and Jerry Jones goes a little off the deep end with some radio hosts in Dallas. OK, not really, but Steven plays the audio and tells everyone to calm down. All he said was "damn".

The Giants started Eli again, and he wasn’t enough to hold a 17-3 lead against the Eagles. HWMKBN posts an apology on Instagram and Steven and Steven don't care, but Goodell and the league say they are still investigating him and there is no timetable for his return. Plus Goodell cannot stop talking about Kaepernick. Let it go, commish!

The Patriots are recording people again! Seriously, why is it always the Patriots

Happy Thanksgiving!

We'd like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you listening in the US. To everyone else around the world, Happy Week of calmness before the Holiday shopping madness!

Steven has a RAVE this week on Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. To everyone who said he could not be a QB in the NFL, I hope they were watching on Monday night. Steven says that watching that game on TV cannot possible give you a real indication of just how good and how FAST Lamar Jackson really is. He was incredible to see live!

The Steelers and Browns go at it again, this time sans Myles Garrett. Steven just might make that the challenge game again! Jerry Jones is not happy with the coaching! DUH! And the PI rule rears its head in an ugly way in New Orleans of all places!

This week, the guys get to all 16 games as they say Goodbye to the Byes. Plus being on a 3-game winning streak makes Steven thankful as he gives you not 1 but 2 LOCKs of the week!
