    NFL Week 7 Recap: Jets Collapse, Giants Upset & Week 8 Picks | Ep. 90

    Send us Fan Mail The New York Jets have officially pushed me to my breaking point. After a 28–25 loss to the previously winless Miami Dolphins, I'm questioning whether Aaron Glenn is the long-term answer. From another disastrous end-of-half performance to Garrett Wilson's frustration and the endless cycle of rebuilding, there's plenty to get off my chest. Meanwhile, the New York Giants went into Houston as double-digit underdogs and pulled off an overtime upset. I'll happily admit I got that one wrong. Elsewhere in the NFL, the Indianapolis Colts are tearing everything down, Seattle just held Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to three points, and Brian Flores has the undefeated Minnesota Vikings playing some outrageous defensive football. On Episode 90: Jets vs. Dolphins: Aaron Glenn, clock management, and Garrett Wilson's futureGiants stun the Texans in overtime behind John Harbaugh's coachingColts fire sale: Is Jonathan Taylor the next name to move?Seahawks dominate the Chiefs, including Kenneth Walker's 36-yard homecomingVikings remain undefeated as their toughest stretch approachesFalcons find momentum with Michael Penix Jr. and Kevin StefanskiWeek 8 previews: Vikings–Lions, Falcons–Buccaneers, Ravens–Bills, and Chiefs–BroncosRolling the Dice with Rice: Two Thursday Night Football selections for Panthers–PackersRolling the Dice with Rice: I'm giving out two selections in the episode.

    NFL Week 7: Jets QB Crisis, Giants QB Gamble, Josh Allen & NFL Stock Report | Ep. 88

    Send us Fan Mail Rice on the Radio is back after a two-week hiatus, and the NFL looks completely different. Ian starts with the Jets and an almost unbelievable stat: they’ve been outscored 100-6 in the final two minutes before halftime under Aaron Glenn. David Bailey and Braelon Allen are giving Jets fans reasons for optimism, but the same question remains — when are the Jets finally going to find their franchise quarterback? Then it’s over to the Giants, where John Harbaugh is already putting his fingerprints on the organization. Najee Harris is gone, the NFC East is wide open, and Ian explains why the Giants should stop waiting and take the swing with J.J. McCarthy. Also on Episode 88: Josh Allen continues carrying a Bills team with championship-level questions around him. The Browns prove preseason projections mean nothing, while Baltimore shows just how much everything changes without Lamar Jackson. The NFL Stock Report returns with Ian buying Houston, Minnesota, Kansas City and San Francisco. Plus, a Week 7 look-ahead featuring Dolphins-Jets, Giants-Texans, Bengals-Ravens and Patriots-Bears, followed by two Thursday night Rolling the Dice with Rice plays. And before signing off, Ian owns the two-week absence and looks ahead to a packed stretch with the World Series, Knicks basketball, Rangers hockey and all four major sports officially in full swing.

    NFL Week 3 Recap: Jets Show Life, Raiders Are Real + Week 4 Games to Watch | Ep. 87

    Send us Fan Mail Week 4 is already here — and that means “it’s still early” is starting to lose its expiration date. On Episode 87 of Rice on the Radio, Ian breaks down everything that stood out from NFL Week 3, starting with a Jets offense that finally showed some real life in Detroit. Geno Smith delivered one of the best Jets quarterback performances Ian has seen in years, Garrett Wilson continues to look like an elite receiver, and rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq had his breakout moment. The Giants survived an ugly, weather-soaked win over Tennessee, Buffalo somehow overcame five turnovers against the Chargers, and the 3-0 Raiders continue to look very real after a statement win over New Orleans. Also on the show: Why the Jets’ loss to Detroit felt completely different from Green BayGiants–Titans and the growing NFC East opportunityRaiders–Saints as Ian’s Game of the WeekQuick hits on Jacksonville, New England, Green Bay, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Baltimore and DallasFive Week 4 games to watchWhy Patriots–Bills could be a fascinating test for Drake MayeChiefs–Raiders as a true measuring-stick gameRolling the Dice with Rice moves to 18-6 with one voidOfficial Thursday Night Football picks: Steelers/Browns OVER 38.5 and Denzel Boston anytime touchdownWe waited all offseason for football to return, and somehow we’re already nearly a quarter of the way through the season.
