Six ranked matchups highlight one of the biggest college football slates of the season, and Nate and Brandon have plenty to dig into. The guys break down Texas-Tennessee, Ole Miss-Florida, Texas A&M-LSU, Iowa-Michigan, Oregon-USC and more, looking at the matchups, lines and potential surprises that have their attention.

Then it's back to NFL Survivor, where the first two weeks have already done some serious damage. Nate and Brandon recap the picks that burned them, compare their results with The Edge and Pool Genius, and reveal where they're turning for this week's Survivor selection.

Sticking with the NFL, the guys work through some of the week's most interesting matchups and line movement before the conversation takes a turn into the future of football. From players tipping plays to virtual reality training and AI analyzing game film for tendencies the human eye might miss, they explore how technology could change the way teams prepare and gain an edge.

Plus, there's plenty of Sandman Sports talk, including Pigskin Madness, a free shot at a trip for two to Vegas, and apparently more discussion of Eric's footballs than anyone asked for.

College football, NFL picks, Survivor strategy, AI, Vegas and plenty of Syndicate banter. Nate and Brandon cover a lot of ground before another huge weekend of football kicks off.

Football season is officially in full swing, and Nate and Brandon are back to sort through what they’ve seen so far and what it means for the weekend ahead.

They start on the college side with a look ahead to some of the weekend’s biggest games, including Lane Kiffin’s return to LSU, before diving into what The Edge is seeing across the college football slate and a couple of early numbers that have their attention.

Then it’s all NFL. They break down what they learned from the opening weekend, which teams impressed them most, which ones may deserve a pass and which performances raised some serious questions heading into the weekend.

Survivor gets plenty of attention after a brutal opening weekend wiped out thousands of entries, including a massive number riding with the Chargers. Nate and Brandon look at the carnage, talk strategy for surviving the early weeks and make their next Survivor selections.

They also debut a new look at NFL line movement and potential overreactions, breaking down how the market has adjusted and where it may have gone too far, or not far enough. Miami-San Francisco, Kansas City-Indianapolis, Buffalo-Detroit, Jacksonville-Denver and several other matchups get a closer look before they settle on some of the plays they like most heading into the weekend.

College football, NFL reactions, Survivor strategy, moving lines and plenty of picks on this week’s St. Louis Syndicate.

The Syndicate boys are back with another pigskin-packed episode, bringing their takes, analysis and plenty of debate on the biggest storylines from around the game.

This week, they add a new dimension to the conversation with The Edge, Sandman Sports’ new prediction and analytics platform. The guys break down what the data is telling them, where the model sees value and how its picks stack up against their own opinions. And going forward, The Edge will be part of most episodes, giving the Syndicate another analytical lens through which to break down the games, even if Missouri fans may not like what it has to say about this weekend’s rivalry matchup with Kansas.

Then it’s time to kick off Survivor season with the Five Rules to Live By, as the guys share the strategies, pitfalls and decisions that can make the difference between surviving another week and heading home early. They also introduce a new season-long challenge, The Syndicate vs. The Edge, putting their Survivor instincts head-to-head with the model.

From weekly football storylines and Survivor strategy to picks, predictions and data-driven analysis, get your football fix each week with the Syndicate.

Last week was all about the AFC. This week, The St. Louis Syndicate turns its attention to the NFC.

Going division by division, the guys analyze each team’s schedule, strengths and weaknesses, and outlook for the upcoming season. Then they break down the season win totals, discussing where they see value on either side of the over/under and which teams they’re staying away from altogether.

They also share some Survivor strategy and tips for the upcoming season, including what to consider before making those all-important early-season selections.

Plus, the Syndicate has some exciting news about how you’ll be able to catch more from the guys throughout the week as football season gets underway.

Which NFC teams are being underrated? Which win totals look a little too ambitious? And where can you find the best value before the season gets rolling?

The Syndicate has you covered.

The boys from the Syndicate are back, and with the NFL season ready to kick off, Nate and Brandon are going division by division across the AFC to break down team win totals and find where the value might be hiding.

Can Buffalo overtake New England after the Patriots’ surprising run to last year’s Super Bowl? And what should we make of the Jets and Dolphins?

Jacksonville sparks one of the bigger disagreements of the episode, while Houston’s talent, Indianapolis’ outlook and Tennessee’s rebuild give the guys plenty to debate.

There’s no shortage of questions here. What do the guys make of Pittsburgh and Cleveland? What should we expect from Cincinnati? And is Baltimore primed for a big year?

Kansas City is looking to bounce back, while the Chargers and Broncos generate plenty of debate. And can the Raiders make any noise in a loaded division?

Along the way, the guys also talk coaching changes, quarterback health, offseason moves, brutal schedules and, most importantly, where there might be some value on the board. Football is back, the win totals are out, and the Syndicate has some opinions.

The boys from St. Louis are back for Season 3 of the St. Louis Syndicate, and while the NFL is usually front and center, Episode 1 is all about the college game.

The guys break down the preseason Top 25 and debate some of the biggest questions heading into the season. Can Texas live up to the hype, and is Arch Manning really the real deal? Is Oregon’s favorable schedule setting the Ducks up for a big year? And after last season’s breakout, there’s lots of love for the reigning national champs and Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti.

The Big 12 gets some attention too, with Texas Tech entering the season as the overwhelming favorite to win the conference and reach the College Football Playoff. Are the Red Raiders worthy of the hype, or could BYU surprise them? The guys also work their way through several other Top 10 teams before turning their attention to some under-the-radar programs that could make noise this fall, including one whose offense may have finally entered the 21st century.

And according to one recently published list, four of the Top 10 players in college football are all on the same team. And what's crazy is not only is that team not even ranked in the Top 10, but the Syndicate guys aren’t exactly bullish on them. Tune in to find out who it is.

And before they call it a day, the guys have some big news about the St. Louis Syndicate and what’s ahead this season. The wait is over. College football is here, the NFL is right around the corner, and the boys from St. Louis are officially back.
