The Packers stay hot as they pitch the first shutout of the 2024 NFL season against the Saints. Seamus recaps the recent success of the Pack and discusses what they need to do to stay hot as the playoffs approach. The duo discuss other playoff teams in the NFL, specifically the AFC, as Christmas Day showcased the best and worst of teams who have already clinched playoff spots in that conference. They then shift focus to the CFB Playoff which was kicked off last weekend and preview the second round of the CFBP.

Another loss for the Giants means another introspective conversation about the team. John and Seamus also recap the most complete win of the season so far from the Packers. The duo preview a weekend filled with NFL playoff implications and the first round of the CFB playoffs!

The Decleated Duo are ecstatic about the first ever 12-team playoff bracket, but have to contain their excitement until they discuss the Packers and Giants. Seamus is tired of the Packers' moral victories, but perhaps their loss to Detroit last week is the first one he can get behind. John on the other hand, was disappointed but not at all surprised by the Giants' last second loss to the Saints. With that said, maybe he's actually optimistic about the Gmen righting the ship next season. Finally, the Duo breakdown the seeding and overall CFP bracket process, as well as give their predictions from the first round to the championship.

John and Seamus share their Thanksgiving Day viewing experiences for the Giants and Packers respectively. While John was busy eating turkey during the Giants game, Seamus was able to enjoy one of the most complete Packers wins of the season. The duo discuss the tough road ahead for Green Bay in the best division in football and discuss current playoff seeding with other teams around the league heating up. They also look forward to an exciting weekend of college football championship football which will ultimately lead to the final CFB playoff bracket and set the stage for what should be an amazing, football-filled December.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Decleated Duo! John kicks the episode off by recounting his record breaking earliest exit from a Giants game in his lifetime as a fan. Tommy Cutlets was able to put more butts in seats at MetLife stadium but Devito and Co were not able to keep them there very long. Seamus then praises the Packers for their most complimentary game of football yet, including an unexpected love letter to Josh Jacobs. The Duo wrap up by trotting through the Thanksgiving games, as well as the remaining week 12 slate, which according to Seamus, might be the perfect time to get some holiday decorating done.

The New York Football Giants have officially moved on from Daniel Jones and John is finally vindicated. For the first time in what seems like years, there’s optimism in John’s voice when he talks about the Giants’ future. After John’s well deserved diatribe, a hard act to follow, Seamus expresses the guilt he feels after the Packers beat the Bears by the tip of a finger. Finally, like clockwork, the Duo discuss the ever evolving College Football Playoff scenarios with only two weeks left before conference championships.

As the Packers come off their bye week and the Giants enter theirs, the Decleated Duo's favorite teams have very different goals for the remainder of the season. Seamus is rejuvenated after the bye week and hopes the Packers are too, making them poised for another late season hot-streak entering the playoffs. John on the other hand, looks forward to a potential quarterback change during the Giants bye week. The Duo then share their excitement about the college football playoff scenarios which get increasingly more complicated as the weeks go by.

**Around the 1:12:00 mark, Seamus' microphone decided it too, like the Jets against the Cardinals last week, was checked out and stopped working. We apologize for the audio change towards the end of the episode**

Same sh*t, different week for the Giants AND the Packers. John can't help but skim through the Giants game and jump into the eventful trade deadline because there's nothing new to say about the Gmen. Seamus gets fired up about the Packers sloppy performance against the division leading Detroit Lions. And the Decleated Duo end on a brighter note by discussing the release of the first ever 12-team College Football Playoff bracket.
