Nate Tice and Charles McDonald kick off this monster episode by previewing the biggest matchups from a tantalizing slate of Week 11 NFL games, giving one (or two, or three) things to watch in each game. Later, Nate is joined by Athletic’s draft guru Dane Brugler to take a deep dive into the 2025 NFL Draft. The duo break down the class’s strengths, weaknesses and favorite players at each position before diving into their latest big boards and compare the top prospects to watch.
Nate and Charles start the show with the five biggest games of Week 11 as they discuss how the Pittsburgh Steelers can beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, how Patrick Mahomes will attack the Buffalo Bills’ two-high defense, what to look for if Joe Burrow takes on the fierce defense of Jesse Minter’s Los Angeles Chargers, how the Atlanta Falcons can beat the Denver Broncos and whether the Chicago Bears can rise to the challenge against the rival Green Bay Packers.
