The Rundown Take
NFL Edition: Week 3 Scorecard, Week 4 Picks, and a Louisiana-vs-Florida Border War
Devin and Larry Frank Jr. convened the Wednesday NFL show with a lesson in fan accountability: Devin, sitting at 1-2 with his Raiders, showed up in his silver and black anyway — pointedly, for the benefit of every Florida State fan currently hiding. Then the two argued about everything, which is exactly why the show works.
Key Takeaways
- Standings update: Devin has overtaken Larry Frank in the season-long picks race, 22 correct to 21, after Frank's rough week.
- The Canes detour got spicy: Frank argued Miami left three touchdowns on the board against Florida's genuinely good defense; Devin countered that if the recap math says 47 points were possible, the defense wasn't the problem — the play calling and Brockermeyer's false starts were.
- The Florida State preview split them further: Devin sees a transformed team with Castellanos and a brilliant OC; Frank sees a schedule of Kent State and East Texas A&M — but both want FSU undefeated for a top-five matchup in Tallahassee.
- The eternal border war reignited: Larry Frank claimed Louisiana ball ("y'all had to come get Reggie Wayne, Ed Reed and Brock Berlin"), Devin claimed Florida's numbers, and the American Heritage-in-New Orleans receipts got thrown.
- Week 4 splits to watch: Seattle-Arizona, Titans-Texans (Devin riding the Cam Ward homecoming), Eagles-Bucs (Frank calls a Philly stomping; Devin reps the Florida team), Jets-Dolphins, and Chiefs-Ravens.
Sad Fan Corner
Devin's Raiders autopsy was brutal and honest — Geno isn't the Seattle version, the line is bad, and Ashton Jeanty has nowhere to run. Larry Frank's Steelers survived Foxborough by the skin of their teeth, and his verdict on his own quarterback remains printable only in part. But the segment of the week belonged to Frank's mother watching the Saints game: he called a touchdown pre-snap from the couch — no safety help, corner inside leverage, out-breaking route — and mama wanted to know how her boy became a coordinator.
