To kick off the final hour it's time for Against The (breakfast) Spread! Do both the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions want to lose this game in order to set up a revenge game?

Then, there's something about Roy that delights Billy and it leads us to a discussion about Roy's recent cruise vacation. The only thing is...he doesn't know where the cruise went. We dig deeper to find out if he actually knows anything that took place on this cruise and if he did anything besides sit on the balcony and look at the water. Plus, Billy is amazing at gambling on football, clowns as masseuses, and we go into the way-back machine for a Stugotz 30 for 30. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Before we get to that, we have to discuss the possibility that Bill Belichick is going to be the head coach at the University of North Carolina.

Stugotz wants Aaron Rodgers to stick around with the Jets next year solely so he doesn't have to watch him play well elsewhere. Billy has a new show bit he'd like to execute, but he's worried about all of our blood sugar levels. Then, Jessica zooms into the show because we need her perspective on the 12-team field for the College Football Playoff. Would Georgia have been excluded with their hurt QB like FSU was last year if they had lost to Texas? Will SMU's inclusion in the playoff get Dan and Mike to stop talking about SEC bias over and over again? How do college coaches handle going to the playoff while the transfer portal opens?

David Samson has a TON of thoughts on Scott Boras negotiating Juan Soto into the largest contract ever at 15 years and $765 million, but we'll get to those in a minute. Dan, Stugotz, and the rest of the crew outside of Samson kick off today's show by laughing at the Yankees, looking at what Soto's signing means for MLB and the Mets, praising Steve Cohen, and watching videos of Yankees fans like John Turturro's brother losing their minds. Was Soto EVER going to sign with a team that didn't simply offer the most money? Eventually, Dan welcomes Samson into the fold and tells him to "eat it" after Scott Boras wins again. Folks, the horse is out of the barn. Plus, we hear from noted Yankees fan, Taylor, through a Soto serenade. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
