BT & Sal kick off a fiery football discussion, declaring this year's NFL Thanksgiving slate the "best three-game lineup" since the league introduced the third matchup. They highlight the magnitude of the Chiefs-Cowboys game, which Tierney is attending, and the NFC North significance of Lions-Packers. The conversation pivots to the AFC North, where Joe Burrow's return makes the Ravens-Bengals game a must-watch, despite Cincinnati's three-win record, because the division is still wide open. They then dive into the overall NFL playoff picture, noting the intense volatility in both conferences. Sal argues that the NFC West (Rams and Niners) holds the only true Super Bowl contenders, despite Brock Purdy's "god awful" performance, and questions the reliability of teams like the Eagles and Bears. Tierney explains the ratio theory for why time seems to speed up as you age.
