On this episode of the 10 Day Tony Show, Tony breaks down one of the wildest weeks we’ve seen across both college football and the NFL playoffs. The show starts with a deep dive into the College Football Playoff championship matchup between the Miami Hurricanes and the Indiana Hoosiers, including a full breakdown of Carson Beck, Miami’s offensive limitations, and why the Hurricanes’ defensive line may be the biggest advantage in the entire game.

Tony explains how Reuben Bain continues to dominate in the trenches and why he’s going to end up being a top-10 pick in the NFL Draft, even if the national media hasn’t fully caught up yet. The conversation then shifts to Indiana’s blowout win over Oregon, the rise of Fernando Mendoza, and why this game is shaping up to be a fascinating contrast between Miami’s physicality and Indiana’s execution and discipline.

From there, the episode moves into a full NFL Wild Card weekend recap, starting with the Rams surviving the Panthers and then diving into the Bears stunning the Packers in Soldier Field and why Caleb Williams is finally starting to look like a true franchise quarterback under Ben Johnson. Tony also breaks down the Jaguars falling to the Bills and explains why Josh Allen continues to defy logic and carry Buffalo no matter who’s around him.

The show continues with a deep look at the 49ers beating the Eagles, the state of Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia offense, and how Kyle Shanahan somehow keeps winning despite San Francisco being the most injured team in football year after year. The Patriots beating the Chargers, the ongoing problems in Los Angeles, and what’s next for the AFC playoff picture all get covered as well.

Tony wraps the episode by looking ahead to the Divisional Round, teasing Thursday’s show with Peter Cohen and the 49ers injury theory, and setting the stage for what could be an incredible finish to both the college football and NFL seasons.

If you’re into college football playoff analysis, Miami Hurricanes football, NFL playoff breakdowns, Bears football, Caleb Williams, Josh Allen, and real unfiltered sports takes, this episode is packed from start to finish.

Should the Las Vegas Raiders really draft Fernando Mendoza with the #1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft? In the debut episode of The 10 Day Tony Show, Tony delivers a bold, data-driven breakdown of why drafting a quarterback first overall might be the biggest mistake in sports — and why the Raiders should seriously consider trading the pick, stockpiling assets, and rebuilding the roster the right way.

This episode dives deep into the history of #1 overall quarterback picks, the low success rate of top draft QBs, and why bad organizations consistently ruin young quarterbacks before they ever get a real chance to develop. Tony analyzes Fernando Mendoza’s rise from college football to Heisman contender, the Raiders’ ongoing dysfunction, Tom Brady’s influence in Las Vegas, and why infrastructure and roster construction matter more than draft hype.

Using real historical examples, Tony explains why only a handful of #1 overall quarterbacks have ever won a Super Bowl, and why late-round or better-situated quarterbacks like Brock Purdy, Patrick Mahomes, and others often succeed more than highly drafted “saviors.” The episode also explores the non-linear development of quarterbacks like Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, and why situation, coaching, and patience matter more than draft position.

The conversation also covers the Raiders’ coaching chaos, front office instability, NFL Black Monday firings, and breaks down the full Wild Card Weekend playoff slate with predictions and analysis.

This episode of The 10 Day Tony Show is built for fans who want real football analysis, smart team-building philosophy, and honest conversations about how franchises actually win in the NFL.
