The New England Patriots moved to 6-0 with a Thursday Night victory over the New York Giants and it’s not too early to turn focus towards the playoffs.

The Kansas City Chiefs, the presumed top contender to the Patriots in the AFC, were defeated at home by the Houston Texans, who probably should be considered the top contender...right? Which teams in the AFC playoff picture are actually any good?

Meanwhile, the Patriots defense continued its exemplary play, although there appears to be a possible weakness in their style of play that a better quarterback might be able to exploit. And is there any reason for concern with the Patriots’ offense and their lackluster production in recent weeks? Or is it just a matter of injuries?

Alec and Rich cover it all. This podcast is available in the iTunes store, Stitcher, TuneIn, BluBrry, Podcast Mirror and via RSS Feed. Please subscribe and comment on what you want to hear about in future podcasts!
