As we head into the NFL Super Wild Card Weekend, I wanted to break down some of these upcoming matchups and perhaps heal and process the Chargers' loss to the Raiders this past weekend in a win-and-in situation. I also genuinely want to understand their head coach’s decision-making process a little better, like being super aggressive on 4th down. So, I brought in one of my favorites from the NFL Network. Her name is Cynthia Frelund.

In this episode we go over: 

• Which teams are using analytics to their highest and best level?
• What does a team using analytics improperly look like? 
• Will the NFL ever head to an 18 game regular season?
• Which teams does her model predict to be in the Super Bowl?
• Which matchup is most intriguing this Super Wild Card Weekend?
• Do the Cardinals FINALLY beat a Sean McVay Rams-led team?
