Steven likes that Braylon Edwards came out in the defense of the benched Mark Sanchez although Jeff thinks Sanchez is done in New York. Steven raves on Russell Wilson while ranting on the NFL media that continues to say short guys cannot play quarterback in the NFL.

The guys then talk about the games and are shocked that the Colts came back to defeat the Lions, the 49ers lost to the Rams in overtime and Jeff explains why the Bears defense was out of gas at the end of the game. Plus Jeff puts Steven on the “Hot Seat” asking who is comeback player of the year, Peyton Manning or Adrian Peterson?

The guys have fun getting ready for Week 13. They agree that the biggest game is played first on Thursday Night Football as the Saints travel to Atlanta. The Falcons will try to avenge their only loss on the season and both guys like the Falcons.

Steven does not like the 49ers decision to start Colin Kaepernick over Alex Smith against the Rams and he also tries to convince Jeff that the NFC East is still wide open but Jeff is not having it. Finally, the guys differ on a couple of games and Jeff picks his team, the Panthers, to lose. He takes the Chiefs while Steven likes the Panthers.

Right off the bat, Steven throws Jeff under the bus since Jeff does not remember most of his picks, but Jeff throws the bus right back at Steven. So much to do, so little time! The guys take a look back at Week 12 and discuss the Jets embarrassing loss to the Patriots, the Lions overtime loss to the Texans and the controversy surrounding that game. They also give RG3 some love for shredding the Cowboys secondary.

The guys finish up with the remainder of the games including the Packers loss to the Giants and Steven is the Smartest Man Alive by taking the Bears over the Vikings in the Challenge Game.

The guys have loads of fun recapping Week 11 in the NFL. Steven has plenty of rants, especially against Mike Tomlin for sticking with an injured Byron Leftwich. Jeff has fun with the idea that Colin Kaepernick might replace Alex Smith as the starter in San Francisco.

That leads Steven to rant on Ken Whisenhunt and his decision to bench John Skelton in a game the Arizona Cardinals were leading 13-0. No wonder the Cardinals are in the midst of a six game losing streak.
