SVP and Stanford Steve are back to recap the entire Week 7 slate of the NFL season.

Plus some thoughts on the Niners’ resilience, Patriots’ win streak and more, including Pooptown which features some bad, bad teams. The guys then move on to Game 7 of ALCS and preview Week 9 in college football, as there are some real be careful games in this weekend’s slate.
