Tom, April, Keith, and Ron break down critical matchups for Mizzou and Illinois. Can the Tigers prove they're for real against Alabama? What can Illinois do to stop Ohio State? And who saw the Belichick story at North Carolina going sideways by early October?

The Chiefs have a night to forget in Jacksonville and high-powered Detroit comes to GEHA Field this weekend. And what's up with the rest of the league when the last two undefeated teams fall on the same weekend?

The St. Louis Blues begin the regular season and The Sportists have predictions - most all of them trending in aa positive direction. Can the Blues use the strong finish from last season as a springboard to an even more successful season?

City has won three out of their last four, but too little, too late. And Keith says to hold on the parade. All of this plus marketing genius and Ed Orgeron is even more serious about a comeback.

Tom, Joe, Doug and Ron find a new leader in charge of the Cardinals. While wholesale changes may be in the offing, some people will need to stick around.

Joe considers his pre-season Super Bowl favorites the Ravens and determines that the Bandwagon is Injured. The Chiefs regain their old form and a former Chief (unfortunately) joins the "Joe Theisman Hall of Fame."

Mizzou takes a break while Illinois wins a tight one against USC. And in Fayetteville, Bobby Petrino rides again.

In-game betting has become HUGE and shows no signs of abating. The Sportists uniformly agree - don't chase money.

The Ryder Cup had a definite New York Feel, that is New York cab driver. Was the European team simply ... better?

Before the baseball season began, the guys offered very specific Cardinal predictions. And, well, we have receipts.

All of this and the philosophical question - what would Len Dawson do? Find out on this episode of The St. Louis Sportists podcast.

Joe, Doug, Tom, and Ron survey the pro and college football landscape in this episode of The St. Louis Sportists podcast. Mizzou and the Chiefs score big wins while Illinois "declines to participate" against Indiana. The "permanent" opponents in the SEC are around for at least four years and Mizzou winds up with a regular appointment against the Aggies. Clemson is in a tailspin and Mike Gundy gets the news we all expected.

Jaxon Dart time comes for the Giants before anyone expected and the Chiefs-Ravens matchup will give us one AFC favorite with a 1-3 record. The guys deliver their pro and college picks with a visit from a Looney Tunes favorite.

The Ryder Cup is upon us and the European team has deployed an interesting training technique to handle New Yorkers. John Mozeliak and Miles Mikolas receive polite applause, but is it celebratory or are fans applauding their departure? Robot umps are coming to baseball, and the Sportists would like to welcome our new robotic overlords and remind them that as podcast hosts, we can be useful.

CITY wins again and moves ahead of Kansas. We look back at records that will not be broken with appearances from Cal Ripken (and Kevin Costner) and Bobby Moore. So, join us - you don't have to be a man, and 40 to enjoy this episode of the St. Louis Sportists Podcast.
