The 2025 NFL Regular Season is in the rear view mirror at last and Wild Card Weekend is barreling towards us with a great weekend of games.
There are a number of great games and we’re ready for the Playoffs!
Each week during the season, I make my picks with my buddy David on his SportsKrunch with DKrom podcast as we’ve done regularly for the past five years (and many appearances pre-pandemic as well).
Check out this week’s episode as we recapped week sixteen, handed out our weekly awards and rated the playoff teams, checked in on the head coaches on the hot seat, and of course all the game predictions and prognostications with our bold predictions--it is available here.
Please give a listen each week on your preferred podcast provider. All back episodes are available here at Apple podcasts.
