    NFL Playoff Previews and Who's Winning the Super Bowl

    Send us a text In this episode of the podcast, we cover one of the wildest stretches of the NFL season and how it’s impacting both the playoff picture and the sports card market. We break down the Patriots vs Ravens game, debate Coach of the Year candidates, and discuss why this NFL season might be one of the best in the last 20 years. The conversation heats up as we dive into AFC vs NFC Super Bowl outlooks, whether the Bills can make a Super Bowl run, and why Josh Allen might be the best playoff QB we’ve ever seen. We also debate sleeper teams like the Texans, whether people are sleeping on Philly, and how the Giants compare to last year’s Patriots. On the hobby side, we break down the latest Topps Chrome Basketball release, the big veteran chases, and why Patrick Mahomes 1/1 autos may be the biggest chase cards in the market right now. We also discuss Panini emptying the vault, massive releases like Prizm, Immaculate, and Donruss Optic, and whether Panini should slow down their release schedule. From Super Bowl predictions to sports card market reactions, this episode is packed with debate, hot takes, and laughs.
