So, the Bears ... are they the #1 seed because of their "early down rush efficiency"?  Better yet, why should anyone care?!?!  Forget it.  Let's jump into week 14: 0:00 - Is it the Bears Run Game? 20:55 - Last Week Review 28:15 - Schedule Review 46:00 - DAL @ DET (-3.5 / 54.5) 50:15 - HOU @ KC (-3.5 / 41.5) 56:16 - Rest of the Games 71:16 - Locks and Super Picks 73:03 - Rich’s Wagers 81:25 - Chris...

After a nice rebound week, the boys are left with just a couple weeks left before the playoffs.  A green margin is probably not in the cards for Rich, but you never know and Chris continues his solid year: 11:40 - PREVIOUS RESULTS 20:20 - BILLS (-3) @ STEELERS (O/U 45.5) 26:40 - REST OF THE GAMES 45:23 - SURVIVOR / LOCKS / SUPER CONTEST 48:04 - CHRIS’ WAGERS 49:50 - RICH’S PICKS HOST(S) : Rich Ege...

The Giants have moved on from Brian Daboll, Mike McDaniel has somehow right the Dolphins in the short term, and Aaron Glenn returned the Jets to offensive futility.  Speaking of futility, Rich’s best continue to suck, Chris has maintained his positive returns, and our audience continues to grow by the ones:  0:00 - Intro 7:00 - Divisions and Playoffs 27:00 - TNF TD scoring ideas 37:00 - Last Week...

Short, day-of solo show for week 11.  Chris continues to generate return in 2025: 0:00 - Intro 2:26 - Last Week Stats 7:57 - Week 11 Games 27:46 - Weekly Picks 31:30 - Weekly Wagers HOST(S) : Rich Ege, Chris Ege ---------------------------------------------- Be sure to reach out the show via email at brokenhelmetshow@gmail.com or on social media at @brokenhelmetpod on X ... or Instagram ... or You...

Well well well ... look who decided to join the show.  After a nice week 8, Chris decided to triumphantly come back on the program.  His only hope is that his attendance doesn't ruin his results.  And again, there's a joke there but I'm not smart enough to capitalize : 0:00 - Chris' Returns 3:00 - The Art of Decoding 7:30 - Conspiracy Theories 13:25 - NFL Spreads Don’t Matter 23:26 - 1st Down (Rec...

Week 8 is pretty crazy:  6 teams on bye, 13 games, 8 games 6.5 points or more and 2 of those are over 10 points.  Ya think teasers will be popular this week?  Looking to have a third winning week in a row after the brutal start to the 2025 season: 0:00 - Dunkin' & Sid & Car Talk 12:40 - Week 8 Games 36:16 - Week 8 Picks & Wagers HOST(S) : Rich Ege --------------------------------------...

Week 7 is here as Rich broke his losing streak thanks in large part to the Chiefs taking care of business (and maybe the refs, too).  Hopefully cook up some additional winners here on Sunday and Monday: 22:20 - Rich’s & Chris’ Weekly Picks 24:12 - Rich’s Wagers 31:50 - Chris’ Wagers HOST(S) : Rich Ege ---------------------------------------------- Be sure to reach out the show via email at bro...

Hey Buuuuuuuudy!  I get to catch-up with longtime friend, JEREMY MARKS-PELTZ, as we talk about The U's loss to Louisville, WVUM, 790 the Ticket along with a bunch of other stuff.  Great time and a bunch of laughs hanging with the one and only JMP.  Here's the rundown: 00:00 - JMP & the Hurricane Loss 08:18 - The U’s Clueless Defense 14:05 - The U’s 2025 Future 17:23 - Weeknight Hurricane Games...

This one is on me!  There's no way to make a show short and sweet when you weave for an hour.  We start talking football around 54 minutes in, and get to our picks around 84.  I'm bound to endure more punishment, but I swear I'm close!  So close!  I can taste it!  Anyway, this one is like a choose your own adventure.  Check the time codes to travel efficiently: 0:00 - Open 1:00 - Crypto Carnage 6:...

Solo show.  Nightmare season continues for Rich, as Chris lands in the red as well.  Not great. Again, 4th down is where all the picks and wagers are.  Go there to skip the nonsense (although this year, my nonsense has been all inclusive): 00:00 - Intro 02:21 - 1st Down (Performance Review) 08:44 - 2nd Down (Big Games) 12:46 - 3rd Down (Rest of Games) 22:14 - 4th Down 22:50 - Rich's Picks 23:54 -...

Chris had another week in the green, while Rich's move to teasers didn't break the slide.  Now, Chris gets to play around with with some spec cash that can lead to big gains: 00:00 - Intro / Wagertainment 13:45 - 1st Down (Performance Review) 21:14 - 2nd Down (Big Games) 21:33 - PHI (-3.5) @ TB 29:18 - BAL (-2.5) @ KC 38:52 - IND @ LAR (-3.5) 47:25 - 3rd Down (Rest of Games) 74:00 - Chris' Picks 7...

A look back at the week that was as several teams rose to the top, and others continued to sink. HOST(S): Rich Ege ---------------------------------------------- Be sure to reach out the show at brokenhelmetshow@gmail.com ... or @brokenhelmetpod on Twitter ... or @thebrokenhelmetpod on Instagram ... For sure not the most efficient social handles, but it works.  Unless it doesn't.

Chris crushed it, while Rich was left staring at a stagnant bankroll.  Chasing Chris will be difficult if he hits another big week: 00:00 - Intro 02:44 - 1st Down (Performance Review) 23:43 - 2nd Down (Big Games) 24:48 - LAR @ PHI (-3.5) 30:05 - DET @ BAL (-5.5) 34:45 - 3rd Down (Rest of Games) 53:36 - Chris' Picks 54:24 - Rich's Picks 56:30 - Chris' Wagers 59:15 - Rich's Picks HOST(S) : Rich Ege...
