NFL Week 4 Picks Around The Couch

·1 hr 22 min·5 clips

The red-zone chaos includes blocked kicks, walk-off field goals, and an Aaron Glenn sideline dance.

They open loose. A quick run of jokes sets the tone before the panel pivots into Week 3 reactions, where one host feels great and the others are still picking through the wreckage. The Falcons catch heat. That complaint runs straight into talk of three failed parlays, a coach firing, and the kind of Sunday that leaves a room laughing because there is not much else to do. The show keeps moving. A network plug, a Patreon thank-you, and a couple of side notes about other DVR podcasts sit around the edges, but the main job is still Week 4 football. Buffalo comes up first. The panel talks through going back to Buffalo and treats it as the sort of place that is hard to play in. Detroit gets real respect. When the Browns-Lions matchup arrives, the hosts lean into the 1950s history, joke about old film in a basement, and settle on the Lions to cover a double-digit number at home. Dan Campbell gets his due. They praise the way Detroit has changed its culture, point to the road win over Baltimore, and talk as if the Lions are becoming the kind of team people will have to take seriously. The roster talk is personal. David Montgomery's big day becomes a Dynasty fantasy victory lap, Jared Goff gets called good, and Aidan Hutchinson is brought up with the kind of affection that only comes from long-term fandom. Dallas stays miserable. The Cowboys are treated like a team headed for pain, and the Packers matchup is discussed with the resigned energy of people who have already made peace with the result. The panel keeps riffing. They bounce from Aaron Glenn dancing to Baker Mayfield pressure, then to Russell being done and the question of whether Indiana Jones is the chosen one, as if that somehow counts as analysis. The ending is strange in the best way. They close with travel jokes, Guinness plans, a promise to text the group on Sunday morning, and the image of West Coast fans watching the Vikings for breakfast before one last burst of nonsense about East Denver near Cincinnati and the AFC Northwest.

As heard by us

A lively Week 4 pick show with NFL history, jokes, and real Lions conviction.

Week 4 on Around The Couch starts in joke mode and then settles into picks, with the Week 3 fallout still hanging around in the background. Lions-Browns gets the most attention, and the old Detroit-Cleveland history gives that stretch more bite than a standard preview.
