In this special Thanksgiving episode, Nate Tice and Charles McDonald dive into a packed Week 13 schedule with plenty of playoff implications. From explosive performances to key matchups, they break down the week’s best games, including the Philadelphia Eagles’ high-flying offense, the Baltimore Ravens’ top-line coaching, and a Thanksgiving Day matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions, plus a potential snow game for the Miami Dolphins in Green Bay.
Charles gives his thoughts on the Eagles’ exciting victory over the Los Angeles Rams, noting that while Philadelphia’s offense wasn’t overly efficient, their ability to create explosive plays was the difference. Meanwhile, the Ravens continue to prove their status as playoff contenders, with both hosts highlighting Derrick Henry’s second-half dominance in a win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Thanksgiving games are also on the agenda, with a look at the Bears versus the Lions. Can Chicago’s offense find consistency after a rare strong outing, or will the Lions’ top-notch defense smother them? They also break down the Dolphins in the snow against the Green Bay Packers, discussing Miami’s offensive power, the challenge of cold weather and how the Packers’ defense could take advantage of the Dolphins’ struggles with the running game. The duo also covers the Chargers taking on the Atlanta Falcons, who are coming off a brutal loss against Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos.
Other Week 13 matchups include a deep dive into the Arizona Cardinals against the Minnesota Vikings, with Nate highlighting Minnesota’s defense against blockers and Arizona’s surprisingly good defense. Meanwhile, Charles and Nate give their opinion on Eagles vs. Ravens, and the matchup between Lamar Jackson and the Eagles defense is shaping up to be the horsefight of the week.
Finally, there is talk of the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills, and Charles is hopeful that Brock Purdy will play and lead San Francisco back to form, although both Charles and Nate agree that the defensive speed and offensive depth of the Bills will probably be too much for the team. 49ers to handle.
