Halftime Hustle: Trades, Top Picks & Midseason MVPs!

We’re hitting halftime in the 2025 NFL season, and Derek and Caleb are bringing the heat in this Halftime Hustle episode! With Week 10 around the corner, we’re recapping last week’s Brodie Bets, where Derek and Caleb both sit at 28-28-2, as well as taking a look at new underdog wins and key player performances from recent matchups.

Next, we dive into NFL Midseason Awards and bold predictions for MVP (Josh Allen vs. Lamar Jackson), Defensive Rookie of the Year (Jared Verse or Jaylen McCollough?), and more! Plus, we’re running through our 2025 Top 10 NFL Mock Draft with future stars like Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders, and Cameron Ward.

In trade talk, teams like the Steelers, Lions, and Cowboys made moves before the deadline that could shake up the playoff picture, and our NFL Stockwatch is calling out big shifts—Derek’s betting on Kellen Moore’s rise, while Caleb thinks NFL parity is on the decline.

We also break down the Playoff Picture in both conferences, with some unexpected frontrunners and dark horses lurking just outside the top eight. Game of the Week pits the Steelers against the Commanders, with George Pickens and Austin Ekeler set to be major X-factors.

And don’t miss our Brodie Bets picks for Week 10, where the Bills, Falcons, Titans, and more are looking like hot targets! Buckle up, it’s a season-defining episode packed with insights, predictions, and all the midseason buzz!
