Can Baltimore bounce back against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills? The guys examine the matchup, discuss the Ravens’ offensive-line problems, question the coaching decisions against Cincinnati, and debate whether Baltimore can still be a playoff contender—or even a Super Bowl threat—if Lamar returns.

Plus, the Orioles’ new general manager, Jared Banner, is a major topic as the guys discuss player development, situational baseball, the team’s disappointing season, and what Baltimore needs to do to become a contender again.

The NFL season is finally here! And the Dad Bods are ready to make some bold predictions.

On this episode of Dad Bods, Crab Cakes & Sports, John, Jason, and Mike break down the start of the 2026 NFL season, including their predictions for the Baltimore Ravens, AFC North, NFL playoffs, and Super Bowl.

The biggest debate of the night: Who wins the AFC North — the Ravens or Bengals?

Mike makes the bold prediction that the Cincinnati Bengals will win the AFC North, while Jason and John believe the Ravens can reclaim the division. The guys discuss Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, the Ravens' schedule, the Bengals' chances, and what it will take for Baltimore to make a deep playoff run.

Then it's time to go division by division as the guys make their complete 2026 NFL playoff predictions, including AFC and NFC division winners, Wild Card teams, and their Super Bowl picks.

Can the Ravens win the Super Bowl? Will the Bengals finally get over the hump? Are the Lions, Seahawks, Rams, Bills, Patriots, Chiefs, Texans, or 49ers legitimate Super Bowl contenders?

The guys don't agree — which makes these predictions even more interesting.

We also revisit the Baltimore Orioles, who are fighting to stay alive in the playoff race. The guys debate whether the Orioles' postseason hopes are essentially over, discuss their recent struggles, injuries to key players, and whether Baltimore should consider keeping Luis Robert Jr. for the 2027 season.

Fantasy football draft season is here, and the guys are breaking down which players are sleepers, fair values, and potential busts before you make your next pick.

On this episode of Dad Bods Fantasy Fix, Mike Friskey, Jason Weisbecker, and Colin Modderman dive into 2026 fantasy football draft strategy, player values, draft results, running back handcuffs, roster construction, and one of the most unique formats in fantasy football: the Guillotine League.

🔥 Is Marvin Harrison Jr. being drafted too low?

⚠️ Is TreVeyon Henderson worth his current ADP?

🏈 When should you draft a quarterback?

📈 Which running back handcuffs are actually worth drafting?

💀 And how do you survive a 32-team Guillotine League where the lowest-scoring teams are eliminated?

The guys put players through their Red Light, Yellow Light, Green Light fantasy football test:

🟢 Green Light — A sleeper or player worth targeting
🟡 Yellow Light — Fair value at the right draft position
🔴 Red Light — Fool's gold at their current ADP

They also review real fantasy football drafts and discuss roster construction, including players such as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ashton Jeanty, Chris Olave, Jaylen Waddle, Chris Godwin, Ramondre Stevenson, Marshawn Lloyd, Jalen Warren, Tony Pollard, Rico Dowdle, J.K. Dobbins, and more.

Then Jason gets ready for his first-ever Guillotine League, also known as a Chop League.

In this format, the lowest-scoring team is eliminated each week, and the eliminated team's players become available through FAAB bidding. With 32 teams and limited roster spots, the guys debate whether you should prioritize an elite quarterback, draft a tight end earlier than usual, avoid early bye weeks, target safe weekly production, or wait for value.

Are the Baltimore Orioles in bigger trouble than we thought?

On this episode of Dad Bods, Crab Cakes & Sports, John, Jason, and Mike break down another frustrating stretch for the Baltimore Orioles, including bullpen struggles, questionable high-leverage decisions, player mistakes, and whether the organization has bigger problems that go beyond what is happening on the field.

The guys discuss manager Craig Albernaz and the difficult decisions surrounding the Orioles bullpen, including the use of young pitchers in high-leverage situations. How much of Baltimore's recent struggles falls on the manager, how much falls on the roster, and how much responsibility belongs higher up in the organization?

We also talk about Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday, player development, fundamentals, accountability, and whether the Orioles can fix some of the mistakes that continue to cost them games.

Then we turn our attention to the Baltimore Ravens.

The NFL season is here, and the guys discuss the Ravens roster, new additions, and what Baltimore needs to do to make a serious run this season. We also play another round of Guess the Raven, featuring some of the newest players on the 2026 Ravens roster — including Trey Hendrickson, Durham Smythe, Danny Pinter, Jovaughn Gwyn, and more.

Who knows the Ravens roster better: Jason, Mike, or John?

Plus, the guys dive into NFL predictions, Super Bowl and playoff talk, early college football discussion, and a fantasy football segment that could help you with your own draft.

Mike needs help deciding which players to keep in his fantasy football keeper league, leading to a discussion about the value of Jalen Waddle, Caleb Williams, Tyler Warren, and other potential keeper options.

Are the Baltimore Orioles back to being an average baseball team — or are they just one bullpen meltdown away from another frustrating loss?

On this episode of Dad Bods, Crab Cakes & Sports, John, Jason, and Mike break down another emotional week for the Baltimore Orioles. The guys discuss the Orioles' West Coast road trip, frustrating late-game decisions, bullpen struggles, and whether Baltimore is doing enough to win the close games that continue to define their season.

We get into the Orioles' pitching decisions, the bullpen, Yennier Cano, Andrew Kittredge, Trevor Rogers, and the moves that left us wondering what exactly happened late in the game. We also discuss Jackson Holliday, Gunnar Henderson, Colton Cowser, Luis Robert Jr., situational baseball, baserunning mistakes, ABS challenges, and why the Orioles have to start winning the small battles if they want to finish the season strong.

Then it's time for Baltimore Ravens football.

The Ravens have made their roster decisions, and we break down the biggest surprises from the Ravens 53-man roster and practice squad. Who made the team? Who didn't? Why did the Ravens make their quarterback decisions? And what do the moves involving Devin Fagnano, Adisa Isaac, Rayshawn Benny, Ronnie Stanley, and the offensive line tell us about the direction of the team?

We also discuss the Ravens' kicking situation as Tyler Loop faces competition from Jake Moody. Is this a true competition, or are the Ravens trying to push Loop to become the kicker they believe he can be?

Plus, Mike reveals some of his early NFL MVP and Player of the Year bets, including his thoughts on Lamar Jackson's MVP chances, and the guys dive into more NFL conversation as the football season gets closer.

And of course, it wouldn't be Dad Bods, Crab Cakes & Sports without plenty of arguments, bad analogies, parenting stories, sports betting talk, and the question every Baltimore fan has probably asked themselves:

What is being an Orioles fan actually like?
