And a week after Chris scored a big upset, he rides the same tough defense to pull off another. Plus, will the Seahawks dominate the Sam Darnold Bowl? And can the Bills rebound in Pittsburgh? PRODUCER'S NOTE: For those looking for our Thanksgiving & Black Friday picks, we released that as a special pod on Wednesday.
