He makes the case for which teams have the pitching, grit, and nerve to keep their October hopes alive.The football forecast covers college matchups including Ohio State at Iowa, Alabama at Mississippi State, Notre Dame at North Carolina, Auburn at Tennessee, Michigan–Minnesota, and Florida at Missouri—along with a look at the mounting pressure on USC coach Lincoln Riley.

Expect rivalry energy, fearless predictions, and no-filter sports talk to help set the stage for the weekend. Mickle also shares a reminder to keep any wagering responsible.

The NFL feels split into two worlds right now - the teams that can really win it all, and everybody else. Mickle Moore breaks down why the undefeated clubs are starting to look less like flukes and more like the real contenders, while the rest of the league keeps spiraling into chaos. Along the way, he takes you from a wild pickleball shakeup in Vegas to the looming Nations Cup international team battle, then straight into a brutally honest college football top 16 that includes his take on Alabama, Miami, Michigan, and why two losses may already be fatal in this expanded playoff era. You’ll also get Mickle’s latest pop culture detour, including a hilarious roast of the endless AI robot girlfriend movie formula, a savage takedown of pumpkin spice season, and the kind of off-the-rails commentary that makes this weekend whiparound impossible to ignore. We break down:

• The first loss of the season for Ben and Gabe in men’s doubles
• Why the MLP Nations Cup matters for the growth of pickleball worldwide
• Mickle’s top 16 college football rankings and the teams he trusts most
• The state of the NFL at the quarter pole, including why the Chiefs, Vikings, and 49ers stand out
• A full-on seasonal rant arguing that cherry limeade deserves better than pumpkin spice

If you want sports talk with actual personality, sharp takes, and zero boredom, this one is built for you. Perfect for anyone who loves pickleball, college football, the NFL, and a host who will gladly rant about synthetic soulmates and seasonal flavor propaganda in the same breath.

Pickleball chaos, streaming frustration, and a six-game college football card collide in one of Mickle Moore’s most unfiltered episodes yet.

If you like sports, rivalries, and a host who refuses to let a bad buffer wheel ruin the night, this one is for you. Mickle kicks things off with the one-year celebration at Dink and Dine, where hundreds are expected, community takes center stage, and the evening could turn into pure pickle chaos. He also teases an on-site visit, possible interviews, and what makes the spot more than just a place to play pickleball - it’s a local hangout with cornhole, dogs, and a real community vibe. From there, the episode turns into a full-throttle sports rant and preview. You’ll hear Mickle’s take on the modern sports-watching “control room” experience, why watching multiple games now feels like a digital obstacle course, and how last night’s football and baseball overlap created a perfect storm of chaos. Then he breaks down the sports he’s watching most closely, including the Guardians-White Sox race, the NFL results that had him locked in, and the dream of a Brewers-Rays World Series that he keeps alive. The main event is the Friday College Sixer and The NFL Triple Lindy.

Mickle runs through his biggest game-by-game angles and why each one matters:

• Indiana at Nebraska
• Missouri at Texas A&M
• Oklahoma at Texas
• Kentucky at LSU
• UCLA at Oregon
• Georgia at Auburn

He explains which teams are desperate, which rivalries can flip fast, and where he sees statement wins, trap games, and outright upsets. If you follow college football closely, this is the kind of rapid-fire breakdown that makes you want to compare notes and see whether his instincts are right. Mickle also shares updates on upcoming interviews, including Alex Simon and Jim Kloss, plus a quick shoutout to the promo code and the MicklePod ecosystem for listeners who want to jump in deeper. By the end, he’s looking ahead to a weekend full of football, baseball, and pickleball, with a final reminder to stay hydrated and enjoy the ride.
