The Podcast with Matt, Trevor and Taylor

They call it "The Podcast," but it's anything but basic.

This is where three friends, Matt, Trevor, and Taylor, ditch the filter and dive headfirst into everything life throws their way. Whether it's dissecting the highs and lows (mostly lows) of being a Minnesota sports fan, arguing the merits of the perfect cup of coffee, or tackling the latest film or board game obsession, "The Podcast" is an honest, hilarious journey through their world.

No topic is off-limits, and every episode is fueled by genuine conversation and the camaraderie only true friends can share. So, grab a drink (coffee or whiskey, your choice!), pull up a chair, and get ready to explore the weird, the wonderful, and everything in between - only the way Matt, Trevor, and Taylor can deliver it.

Welcome back to The Podcast! The wait is finally over, football is here, and we're kicking off the season with a deep dive into everything you need to know. This week, we're talking about the NFL's top storylines and asking the hard questions. Are the Eagles a lock to repeat, or is their schedule a trap? We’re still haunted by the Chiefs' Super Bowl performance, well Matt is —is it time to fade Mahomes and company? Plus, we're breaking down the AFC's power struggle between the Bills and Ravens, the chaotic NFC North, and the Aaron Rodgers-to-Steelers trade nobody asked for. We also have a special message from Taylor and commanders corner. We're also looking at who could be this year's surprise breakout teams (looking at you, Atlanta Falcons). And of course, we're giving you our official playoff predictions.

But the AFC arms race doesn't stop there. We dissect some Super Bowl favorites Ravens and the ever-talented Bills, two teams that cannibalized each other last season only to limp into the postseason. Can they finally get over the hump and dethrone the Chiefs? We look at Lamar's consistency, Josh Allen's supporting cast, and whether anyone can step up to make these teams true top dogs.

In the NFC, we look north to a division that was an absolute bloodbath last season. With a new-look Chicago Bears team led by Caleb Williams, a Vikings squad with rookie JJ McCarthy, a resurgent Packers team, and a Lions team grappling with coaching losses and injuries, who will emerge from the NFC North gauntlet?

Finally, we offer our bold predictions for the season. We’re passing on the Cowboys, but are high on the Broncos and Atlanta with Michael Penix Jr. at the helm. We'll lay out our full playoff picture for both conferences and wrap up the show with our picks for every team's win/loss over/under. From the top contenders to the teams on the rise, this is your ultimate guide to the 2025-2026 NFL season. So grab a drink, tune in, and let's get into it!
