Phil’s hosting a $2M charity event in Chicago, Mikey’s chest-thumping over a 14–4 heater, and Woodley/Cantu are begging the world to stop pretending Kirk Herbstreit invented football takes. The show opens with a Dodgers victory sermon, a full-throttle Jerry Jones roast, and Woodley melting down over ESPN crying to YouTube TV users — all before Phil orders pizza mid-recording because “viral clips.”

Mike “The Mouth” is scorching at 13–3, Phil’s trying to claw back, and Cantu’s picks arrive in absentia. We open on the Chauncey Billups poker–sports scandal, then dive into official picks: Phil + Cantu both love the Colts vs. Steelers, Mike pivots and later fires his #2: Panthers +14 vs. Packers. Phil’s #2 leans into Lions -8.5/ -9 vs. Vikings. We close with a spicy Survivor Pool dust-up (Indy vs. Atlanta debate, leverage angles, and Mike vs. Woodley receipts). Actionable talk, clear sides, real numbers—fade us or ride with us.

The Fade Us crew comes in red-hot — Mike (11-3) still on fire, Phil finally in the win column, and Cantu riding high after a 45-unit Sunday. But Woodley’s heart is broken after the Mariners’ collapse, and the opening rant spirals into chaos over Dan Wilson’s bullpen decisions and the worst coaching moments in football history. Then it’s on to this week’s NFL bets — Jets at Bengals, Giants vs Eagles, and why the Titans might be the worst team of the decade. Plenty of arguments, a couple consensus picks, and a whole lot of trash talk from Mike and Cantu. As always — fade them at your own risk.

Mike’s on an 11–1 heater, Phil’s in the red (again), and Woodley/Cantu are ready to torch anyone betting against Seattle in prime time. The guys trade rants (Dodgers, Detroit’s coaching, London slogs), then fire their official picks: Mike rides Texans +3.5 at Seattle, Cantu backs Panthers -1.5 at Jets (London jet-lag angle), Woodley grabs Vikings +2.5 vs Eagles, and Phil lays it with Lions -5.5 vs Bucs. Second half brings Mike’s Titans +7 new-coach bump, Cantu doubling down on Seattle, Woodley rolling Jags +3 (London) vs Rams (cue chaos), and a spicy Survivor segment arguing Raiders/Seattle/Green Bay chalk. We close with a Browns–Dolphins line fight and Mike promising the Texans win outright. Fade or follow—your call.

Week 6 is here, and the table’s on tilt again. Mike’s heater continues, Phil insists he’s “due,” and Woodley somehow finds another way to justify betting the Vikings. The crew lights into Thursday-night disasters, red-zone meltdowns, and the eternal “fade or follow” debate. Phil promises a bounce-back, Mike loves road dogs, and Cantu rides his Seahawks until the wheels fall off. The second half brings a wild survivor segment, mid-show prop bets, and an argument over whether Lamar Jackson is still elite. Expect yelling, sarcasm, and a few sharp betting insights buried under all the noise — just another Fade Us classic.

The table is tilted: Phil Hellmuth is 2–6, Mike Matusow is 7–1, and the group is somehow angrier about special teams than quarterback play. Mike opens by melting down over the Rams/Colts rollercoaster, Woodley torches the Vikings’ front office, and Cantu turns their group text into a gambling court case. Then it’s into real picks: Colts -6.5, Vikings -3.5 (London), Lions -10, Chiefs -3.5, Broncos +4, and Cantu’s homer shot on the Seahawks -3. Expect shouting, side-bets, and one very vivid “Danny Dimes wins the Lombardi” dream. They close with a Survivor strategy sprint—who to burn now vs. save later—including strong views on avoiding Arizona chalk, leveraging Minnesota’s London edge, and how injuries shift Thursday-night risk. Sign-off includes pool math, future on-deck landmines, and Phil’s reminder to, uh, fade Phil (this week).
