With the midpoint of the season now behind us, games seem to somehow mean more down the stretch – and with so many teams in the mix (or at least with an outside chance), almost every fanbase can still dream.

Dreaming again are Patriots fans, who find their team on a roll with Drake Maye under center, looking ever more likely to not only make the Playoffs, but do so as division winners. With other front runners winning games narrowly, do the guys think the Pats have the edge over the likes of the Eagles and Broncos?

Along with that chatter, the talk also turns to the mid pack, and discussions around the Jags and Panthers. Could these teams find the consistency that could incredibly give them a shot at meaningful January football?

All this, plus the usual bits of this and that.

Thanks for listening!
