Raising Fans Episode 16

\*\*Episode 15 — Studs, Duds, Playoff Baseball & Pick 'Ems\** Raising Fans is back with another loaded episode! Fantasy football drama, NFL and college football studs and duds, the MLB postseason, NHL opening night, a massive slate of NFL and CFB picks, and a wild finish to the sports weekend. \*\*⚾ Fantasy Sports\** Jordan finally scores \*\*3,000 points\** and takes home the fantasy baseball championship! Meanwhile, Masen may have a serious problem after De'Von Achane goes down. Is his fantasy season already in trouble? And in the Chopped League, both Jordan and Masen survive while \*\*GreenBayNutCrackers\** gets eliminated. We break down the players and performances that helped seal their fate. \*\*🏈 STUDS & DUDS — NFL & CFB\** We each bring our biggest winners and losers from the weekend. Jordan's studs include \*\*Jahmyr Gibbs\*\*, who has Alyssa celebrating her 1.01 pick, the Las Vegas Raiders with Kirk Cousins, Brock Bowers returning in a big way, and Ashton Jeanty continuing to look like a star. Then Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers tear apart Cincinnati's defense, giving Jordan another reason to talk about the Raiders AND Rodgers. On the college side, \*\*Jeremiah Smith continues to look unstoppable\*\*. Is there anyone who can actually slow him down? Masen has his own studs, including a wild Sunday Night Football game and a weekend where the biggest college and NFL matchups actually lived up to the hype. Then we get to the DUDS. The Patriots struggle badly, Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay fall to 0-3, and we have questions about whether some teams have already played their way out of the playoff race. And, of course, we have to talk about \*\*officiating\*\*. The Dallas game ends in controversy, Denver gets another questionable call, and Kansas City once again finds itself involved in a controversial officiating discussion. Plus, we dive into the \*\*AP Poll and SEC bias\** after some questionable ranking movement. Why does Ole Miss drop after a blowout while Florida jumps 12 spots? Where do Michigan and USC fit into that conversation? And why is Missouri still ranked? \*\*⚾ MLB POSTSEASON\** October baseball is here! We fill out our MLB playoff brackets and make our Game 1 picks, including: \* Yankees vs. Red Sox \* Braves vs. Phillies \* Astros vs. White Sox \* Padres vs. Cubs Can the MVP favorites carry their teams?
