Charlie has a chance to close the gap by correctly picking the Super Bowl L(I)X winner, but Joe takes the crown for the 2025 season.Charlie offers an angry analysis of the Mavs Anthony Davis trade before the Boys break down the Pro Football Hall of Fame selections (and snubs). The also make their predictions of the NFL Honors awards. (Spoiler alert: they each picked 3 correctly and between the two of them, nailed 5 of the 6 categories).Finally, Joe bemoans the fact that Bill Simmons correctly predicted the Patriots' success, before the official Old Dog Young Bull analysis of the Big Game. They make their Super Bowl picks and share the family's thoughts on the big game.After this week, the duo pivot to the NBA season though, as Charlie says, "The NFL is never out of season..."
