Questions, Chaos, and Contenders: The 2025 NFL Playoff Push

In this episode of the A&D Podcast, Austin and Dietrich dive headfirst into the wild landscape of the 2025 NFL season as the league barrels toward the playoffs. With more questions than answers and storylines popping off every week, the guys break down the chaos from top to bottom.

They start with the AFC, where powerhouse expectations haven’t matched reality. Are the Chiefs still the team to beat, or has inconsistency finally caught up with them? Can the Bengals overcome their mid-season injuries? And what exactly are the Texans cooking down in Houston as they continue to surprise the entire league?

Then it's over to the NFC, where the 49ers look like juggernauts—but can they stay healthy enough to finish the job? The Cowboys are… well, the Cowboys, and that comes with all the drama you’d expect. Meanwhile, the Lions continue to fight to prove last year was no fluke, and the Eagles are trying to piece things back together in time for a real postseason run.

Austin zeroes in on the biggest X-factors that could swing the playoff picture. At the same time, Dietrich brings the heat with some bold predictions and pointed questions about coaching decisions, quarterback performances, and which teams are secretly pretenders.

They wrap up by looking ahead to the matchups that will define the final stretch and the teams they believe could shock everyone come January.
