Where Colin was right and where he was wrong

His new Herd Hierarchy heading into the NFL playoff games this weekend

Teams who are in the Super Bowl bubble

7x Super Bowl Champion and Fox Sports NFL analyst Tom Brady joins the show ahead of the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. He breaks everything down:

• Seahawks QB Sam Darnold facing off against the 49ers defense
• How will Matthew Stafford and the Rams handle the Bears in freezing cold temperatures?
• What to expect from his Patriots and Drake Maye as they look to get their first playoff win in 6 years

The Divisional Round of the 2026 NFL Playoffs is finally here, and betting expert Chad Millman and professional sports gambler Simon Hunter deliver their final five picks for their SHARP OR SQUARE PRO FOOTBALL PICK 'EM CONTEST at https://sharporsquare.thevolume.com/ as our audience competes for a fabulous grand prize trip to South Florida, courtesy of our sponsor Hard Rock Bet! 

This afternoon, Josh Allen and the injured Buffalo Bills face Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos in a game that's been tantalizing to the market public. On Saturday night, an NFC West divisional re-match between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. Can Brock Purdy defeat quarterback Sam Darnold in a playoff showdown? And is the new Sam Darnold injury concern making Seattle a risky venture with the potential involvement of backup Drew Lock?

On Sunday, our hosts must make a decision on quarterback C.J. Stroud and his Houston Texans, who enter Foxboro as underdogs to Drake Maye and the New England Patriots. We end the episode with our final betting contest selections, along with analysis of Sunday night's game between quarterback Matt Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams, who travel to Chicago to take on Caleb Williams and Bears in freezing temperatures. All their final and official betting picks, all in one fast-paced episode! #Volume

Colin’s top takes of the week.

First, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”.

They start with the shorthanded 49ers beating the Eagles on the road and Colin argues the gap in coaching ability between Kyle Shanahan & Nick Sirianni is massive. He credits Brock Purdy for overcoming two interceptions & finding ways to win the game despite several mistakes and John calls it one of the worst playoff losses of all time for the Eagles (2:30). Then, they move to college football & discuss why the era of SEC dominance is over due to NIL(25:00). 

Then, he’s joined by college football guru Josh Pate to preview the College Football Playoff Championship between Indiana and Miami.

Colin predicts that unlike Oregon & Alabama, Miami’s defense should be disruptive and be able to keep Indiana from a point total in the 30s or 40s (33:00). They preview Lane Kiffin’s upcoming tenure as coach at LSU and debate whether adding Kiffin will actually bring titles to Baton Rouge (36:00). 

Finally, they debate whether they’d tweak the NIL or transfer portal if given the chance and Josh argues for classman pay scales similar to what exist in the NFL and why that would help fix problems with the portal and that the “wild wild west” era of college football is bound to end soon (38:30).

Chicago Bears CB Jaylon Johnson joins Richard Sherman to break down Chicago’s wild playoff comeback win over the Green Bay Packers, the mindset behind the Bears’ dominant second-half defense, and the confidence that comes from winning do-or-die games. Johnson dives into his first playoff win, playing through injuries, the impact of veterans in the secondary, Al Harris’ ball-hawking coaching style, and what makes Chicago’s defense thrive under pressure. He also previews the Bears’ Divisional Round showdown against the Los Angeles Rams, detailing how to slow down Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and the Rams offense with disguises, physical coverage, and timing disruption, while sharing insight on Caleb Williams’ leadership, clutch fourth-quarter play, and why the rookie quarterback continues to rise on the biggest stage as the Bears chase a deep postseason run.

The WNBA’s Sophie Cunningham and Bravo’s West Wilson kick things off with an aggressive iced coffee vs. hot coffee debate (because apparently hot drinks are a scam), and within minutes it turns into a full-on Kansas City Chiefs and Arrowhead dome meltdown that has West ready to throw up.
From there, Sophie recaps the Sophie Cunningham Classic (packed gyms, elite hoops, big-time sponsors, and Columbia being dead when Mizzou isn’t in session), while also dealing with a suspicious combo of cold sore drama, mouth tape scars, and “toothpaste” evidence that the internet will absolutely not forgive.

Then it’s rapid-fire pop culture and unhinged fun: ‘Summer House’ watch party news, Alix Earle and Tom Brady rumors, Arby’s Hot Girl of the Week goes to West’s mom (doctor cover shoot ICON), plus a viral list of “first date places women refuse to go” that sparks a heated debate… followed by appetizers-aren’t-for-sharing discourse, National Bagel Day rankings, and Joey Chestnut bagel-eating madness.

To close it out, Hard Rock Bet brings the odds for the College Football Playoff Championship, and the crew makes their picks before signing off with one of their favorite episodes yet — and a call to get Becca Tilley on the pod.
