The Podcast Ep. 38 Stats, Sacks and Seeds: The 2025 NFL Regular Season Finale Artwork

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.

The Dust Has Settled: 2025 NFL Season Wrap-Up & Playoff Preview

The 2025 NFL regular season is officially in the books, and it was nothing like we predicted. In this episode, we break down the absolute chaos of the final standings—from the 100% turnover of last year’s playoff teams to the "meaningless" nature of strength-of-schedule stats. We dive deep into the scar tissue left behind by abysmal quarterback play (looking at you, Minnesota and Washington) and why the NFL truly doesn't start until after Week 8.

Plus, we hand out our (unofficial) hardware. Is Myles Garrett the easiest DPOY pick in history? Why is OPOY so confusing this year? We debate the odds, the snubs, and Mike Macdonald’s case for Coach of the Year. Finally, we look ahead to the Wild Card round with our full AFC and NFC bracket breakdown, Super Bowl locks, and a regular-season "Round-Up" quiz that might just break your brain.

In this episode:

The Playoff Reset: Why the 2024 heavyweights (Chiefs, Lions, Commanders) are watching from home.
The QB Scars: Recovering from the JJ McCarthy and Max Brosmer eras.
Awards Season: Breaking down the Stafford vs. Maye MVP race.
Playoff Bracket: Can the #1 seed Broncos and Seahawks hold off the field?
Matt’s Quiz: Testing our knowledge on Jets interceptions and Cardinals history.
