How does Andy see this impacting the rest of PSU's season? We only have six weeks left in the NFL season. Some teams are jostling for playoff position, while others are just fighting to stay alive. What teams do we buy or sell in the current playoff picture? There's only one week left in the fantasy football season. We know, we're sad too. One week means there's still hope to break into the playoffs and get that title. Who do we have in our good, bad, and ugly from the last few weeks? Our show closes out with our one awesome thing in sports. Jimi has a feel-good story about one of the best players in the NFL, while Andy throws a shoutout to Bills Mafia.

Which four teams from the NFC and AFC do we see claiming those final spots? Place your bets! Jimi has two three-team parlays he likes in college and the NFL he really likes this week. Listen to him, and maybe you'll win some money this weekend. We're back with the good, bad, and ugly in fantasy football. Which players can you trust for the rest of the season?
