Woot and Wye Episode 165 – Re-evaluating the Lions, Bucs and Ravens

---

We are less than two months away from Super Bowl 51 and Episode 165 of The Woot and Wye Show jumps into all the play off altering action of Week 13 in the National Football League.

We open the show looking at the impact Earl Thomas’ injury has on the Seattle Defense and what it means for them long term when they face powerhouse offenses like the Dallas Cowboys.

We are truly baffled by the Rams giving Jeff Fisher a contract extension (but not as baffled as him looking for a challenge flag) but Wye has an idea to make him somehow useful in the NFL.

The main event of the episode was re-examining the Detroit Lions, the Baltimore Ravens & the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

All three teams were viewed as very lucky or flawed teams early in the season but have managed to cover up their weaknesses and show that they are genuine playoff contenders. In the case of the Ravens, they are legitimate Super Bowl candidate.

Now that the Ravens offense has decided to show up and play, they are definitely a Super Bowl contender.

We finish the show previewing Week 14’s Thursday Night Football blockbuster between the Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs. The last time they met the Chiefs won the match 26-10 on the back of Spencer Ware, who had a

The last time they met the Chiefs won the match 26-10 on the back of Spencer Ware, who had a career-high of 131 yards. Since then the Raiders haven’t lost a game, covering five of six against the spread. The player to watch in this one is Khalil Mack who has been a

The player to watch in this one is Khalil Mack who has been a one-man wrecking crew over the last few weeks. We have both taken the Chiefs (-3) at home on a short week but are not confident at all going against the Raiders.

Other discussion points from Episode 165 include who is winning the AFC South, the Jets QB situation, RG3 starting for Cleveland again and Colin Kaepernick potentially voiding his contract.
