#178: NFL 2019 Week 10 NFL Preview with Matt Barr
November 07, 2019 02:44 - 59 minutes - 111 MB1. Week 9 Takeaways Me: -12 teams have three wins or less at the halfway point of the season. Last season, only one team (Cardinals) finished the season with three wins or less. That number is almost certain to rise this year. It will be fascinating to see by how much and whether or not it forces certain teams to try to “tank” harder for a better draft pick. Matt: Home teams dominate after a season of historical success for road teams 2. Truth/Exaggeration -Minkah Fitzpatrick is a s...
#177: NFL 2019 Week 9 Preview with Hal Bent
October 31, 2019 22:30 - 57 minutes - 78.9 MB1. Week 8 Takeaways Me: -As Herm Edwards famously said “You play to win the game.” And it’s a MAJOR disappointment that many teams, in this new, uber-aggressive, offensive centric NFL still don’t get the point. Matt Nagy, WHY did you take a knee with 43 seconds left and one timeout left rather than gain more yards to make the game winning FG attempt easier. Broncos OC Rich Scangarello, WHY run a predictable draw on 3rd-and-5 rather than go for the kill to get the first down to ice the gam...
#176: NFL 2019 Week 8 Preview with Hal Bent
October 24, 2019 03:11 - 52 minutes - 97.9 MB1. Week 7 Takeaways Me: -Four weeks ago, virtually every analyst and prognosticator (myself included) was calling Kirk Cousins a wasted signing for the Vikings. Fast forward to now, he’s made us all look like IDIOTS!!! The last three weeks, Cousins has completed 75.6% of his passed for 976 yards, 10 TD and 1 INT. He also is now tied for the league lead in yards per pass attempt AND he became the ONLY QB in NFL history with at least three straight games of at least 300 passing yards and a Q...
#175: NFL 2019 Week 7 Preview with Matt Barr
October 17, 2019 00:39 - 53 minutes - 100 MB1. Week 6 Takeaways Me: -Officiating in the NFL (or in any sport) will NEVER be perfect, but it IS perfectible, and the NFL is ruining its product by not taking drastic steps to make it so. It is time for the so-called “Sky Judge” recommended by the coaches and for MUCH harsher penalties for officials with a habit of repeatedly blowing calls. Matt: Defenses rule in the NFL right now. Patriots and 49ers, the two lone undefeated teams, are winning with defense. 2. Truth/Exaggeration -Th...
#174: NFL 2019 Week 6 Preview with Hal Bent
October 10, 2019 13:51 - 1 hour - 115 MB1. Week 5 Takeaways Me: -The NFL may not be the passing league many think it is. Per Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News, in Week 5, there were nine 300-yard passers and nine 100-yard rushers. The combined record of those passers last week? 4-5. The combined record of those runners? 8-1. Yes, passing is still king in the modern NFL, but running the ball is no less essential than it was in 1991. Just ask the 49ers, Colts, and Raiders who are off to excellent starts in large part due t...
#173: NFL 2019 Week 5 Preview (with Hal Bent)
October 02, 2019 22:22 - 57 minutes - 107 MB1. Week 4 Takeaways Me: -So much for the regression of the Bears defense. They neutralized Dalvin Cook, easily the NFL’s most dynamic RB through the first three weeks MINUS Akiem Hicks AND Roquan Smith. Moreover, Chuck Pagano helped get career days out of their respective replacements in Nick Williams and Nick Kwiatkowski. -2019 hasn’t been kind to the blue chip prospects of the 2018 NFL Draft. Saquon Barkley (high ankle sprain), Denzel Ward (hamstring issue), Bradley Chubb (torn ACL), R...
#172: NFL 2019 Week 3 Preview (with Hal Bent)
September 18, 2019 02:20 - 1 hour - 111 MB1. Week 2 Takeaways -Me: The NFL MUST make its officials full-time employees after a lot of disastrous missed calls on Sunday. Here are a few that stood out. Even though it didn’t make the difference in the game, Jared Goff’s arm clearly wasn’t going forward and Cameron Jordan should’ve had a fumble-six. And while most of the attention in that wild Bears/Broncos game is going to be on the roughing the passer call on Bradley Chubb that shouldn’t have been (and rightfully so), the game should...
#171: NFL 2019 Week 2 Preview (with Hal Bent)
September 12, 2019 21:36 - 52 minutes - 72.2 MB1. Week 1 Takeaways Me: -Smaller (6’0” or under), faster wide receivers are the newest trend in the NFL….and Sunday showed you why, In recent years, the NFL seems to have preferred speed over size in the draft when it comes to WR. See John Ross in 2017, and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown this year. Both combined for 11 receptions, 305 yards and 4 TD’s in Week 1. Also, DeSean Jackson, in his return to Philly, went 8/154/2 and Redskins rookie Terry McLaurin went 5/125/1 in the same game, and c...
#170: NFL 2019 Week 1 Preview (with Hal Bent)
September 05, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour - 111 MB1. Truth/Exaggeration -Given the Seahawks acquisition of Jadeveon Clowney, nobody should be surprised if the Seahawks either give the Rams a season-long run for their money in the NFC West or win that division altogether -Regardless of how far the Dallas Cowboys go in 2019, they will regret in the long run not extending Dak Prescott before Zeke Elliott -With the Dolphins trading away Laremy Tunsil, one of the NFL’s rising young stars at a premium position, it screams to you that not on...
#169: 2019 NFC South Preview (with Jordan Reid)
August 30, 2019 22:10 - 25 minutes - 35 MB1. If the Bucs 2019 season can be summed in two words, those words are clearly Jameis Winston. This is the final year of his rookie contract and to give him his last best chance, the Bucs lured the QB whisperer himself Bruce Arians out of retirement to be their new head coach. Arians track record speaks for itself and if he can’t get the best out of Jameis, nobody can. If Jameis underwhelms this season, do you see the Bucs doing all they can to get the QB they want in the 2020 draft? 2. The...
#168 2019 NFC East Preview (with Hal Bent)
August 30, 2019 22:00 - 33 minutes - 46.2 MB1. No pick in the 2019 NFL Draft was panned by the media more than the Giants selection of Daniel Jones at six overall. And this preseason, Jones has looked like a man on a mission to prove all the doubters wrong as through three games, he is 25/30 (83.3% completion rate), 369 yards, 2 TD’s and 0 INT. Eli Manning will begin the year under center, but if the Giants offense struggles badly the first two weeks, should Jones be starting in Week 3 or sooner? 2. Outside Saquon Barkley, no player ...
#167: 2019 AFC East Preview (with Hal Bent)
August 27, 2019 00:57 - 33 minutes - 45.8 MBIs Rob Gronkowski going to come back out of retirement? Does Sam Darnold have the supporting cast he needs for a breakout season? Is Brian Flores the right guy for the Dolphins? How good is this Bills defense? Our right-hand man Hal Bent joined us to answer these questions and a lot more about the 2019 AFC East!! Lots of great fantasy advice in here too!!!!
#166: 2019 AFC North Preview (with Pete Smith)

#164: 2019 AFC West Preview (with Nick Kendell)
July 26, 2019 22:18 - 37 minutes - 70.1 MB1. Last season, the Raiders offense was pretty much unwatchable even before they traded Amari Cooper. Now they have Antonio Brown, arguably THE best wide receiver of the decade, whom they acquired in a trade from the Steelers. They also signed Tyrell Williams, an EXTREMELY underrated vertical receiving threat and they also drafted Josh Jacobs, a multi-dimensional RB from Alabama. However, if these new weapons are to take the league by storm and the Raiders are going to surprise some people t...
#163 2019 AFC South Preview with Jake Arthur
July 25, 2019 16:27 - 42 minutes - 57.7 MBWelcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom ladies and gentlemen, I’m your host David Kromelow. NFL teams are already filing into training camp and today, the Denver Broncos just held the first training camp practice of the 2019 season.

#161 SENIOR BOWL 2019: NASIR ADDERLEY
July 05, 2019 22:30 - 2 minutes - 5.39 MBOne of the biggest potential steals of the 2019 NFL Draft was the Chargers selection of Delaware S Nasir Adderley in the second round (60th overall pick). I caught up with Nasir at the 2019 Reese's Senior Bowl and we discussed whether range or ball skills is the most important attribute needed to play safety in the NFL, his close friendship with his former college teammate and current Bears DT Bilal Nichols, the influence of Hall of Famer Ed Reed on the safety position and MORE!!!

January 19, 2019 22:27 - 43 minutes - 29.1 MBWell, and then there were four. NFL Conference Championship Weekend is here with only the Rams, Saints, Patriots and Chiefs alive in the race to Super Bowl LIII. Do you think these were the four best teams in the NFL this year, Hal? 1. Divisional Round Weekend Takeaways -Chiefs DL over-powering Colts OL and Rams ground game gashing the Cowboys on the ground are things nobody expected…and that’s what makes football so great -Hal: Saints had weakest rushing attack last weekend 2. Truth or ...
#154 NFL 2018 Divisional Round Weekend Preview w/Hal Bent
January 12, 2019 17:01 - 53 minutes - 49.1 MBWelcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom ladies and gentlemen, I’m your host David Kromelow. Well wild card weekend wasn’t as really wild as I expected it to be with the exception of the Eagles/Bears game, but divisional round weekend has a better chance to live up to such a description. Do you believe so Hal Bent? What makes this arguably the most exciting weekend on the entire NFL calendar? 1. Wild Card Weekend Takeaways -Bears fans should be giving Treyvon Hester FAR more credit than Co...
#153 NFL Wild Card Weekend (2018) w/ Hal Bent, of FullPressCoverage.com
January 05, 2019 17:37 - 1 hour - 42.1 MBWell the NFL playoffs are finally here with Wild Card Weekend about to commence and Hal Bent, I don’t think I’ve ever been excited for a Wild Card weekend like this one. Have you? Week 17 Takeaways -Kirk Cousins looking like a colossal waste of money -Teddy Bridgewater doesn’t look like the future in New Orleans Coaching Carousel -Jets are pursuing Baylor head coach Matt Rhule. Given college football’s increasing influence on NFL offensive scheming, this might be the best possible hire...
#152 NFL Week 17 Preview (2018) w/Hal Bent
December 29, 2018 18:47 - 54 minutes - 50.7 MBWelcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom ladies and gentlemen, I’m your host David Kromelow. Well, the 2018 NFL regular season comes to an end this weekend with three playoff teams and 11 seeds still yet to be determined. But as we’ve been saying for weeks, just as it appears the ride is ending, it’s really just beginning. Isn’t it Hal Bent? 1. Week 16 Takeaways -Jets have opened a GOLDEN window of opportunity with Sam Darnold…and they CANNOT afford to squander it. Firing Mike Maccagnan mu...
#151 NFL Week 16 Preview (2018) with Hal Bent
December 21, 2018 19:37 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBWelcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom ladies and gentlemen, I’m your host David Kromelow. It’s hard to believe, but the 2018 NFL regular season is already down to its final two weeks. And usually at this point in the year, a single team or a tiny group of teams emerge as clear front-runners to win the Super Bowl. But this year, I don’t see such a front-runner right now. 1. Week 15 Takeaways -Bears might have broke the Rams, Cowboys might have broke the Saints -Even though they might ...
#150 NFL Week 15 Preview (2018) w/Hal Bent
December 13, 2018 20:58 - 1 hour - 55.7 MBWelcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom ladies and gentlemen, I’m your host David Kromelow. The NFL playoffs might not have officially began yet (we still have three weeks left in the regular season), but it sure felt like they have after one of THE most dramatic Sundays of NFL football I can ever remember transpired just this past week…didn’t it Hal Bent? 1. Week 14 Takeaways -Defense still matters -Baker Mayfield is on fire and the future couldn’t be brighter in Cleveland 2. ...
#149 NFL Week 14 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent, of FullPressCoverage.com
December 09, 2018 00:22 - 44 minutes - 29.7 MBWelcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom ladies and gentlemen, I’m your host David Kromelow. Hope all of you who are celebrating have had a Happy Hanukkah. Before we begin, I want to profoundly apologize for us being MIA last week. Thanksgiving hangover. Well, the 2018 NFL season is down to its final quarter…and it’s around this time of year we expect the playoff picture to become more clear…but because of what transpired last week, it’s still pretty murky as it currently stands, isn’t it Hal...
#148 NFL Week 12 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent, of FullPressCoverage.com
November 21, 2018 04:20 - 39 minutes - 26.8 MBWelcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom ladies and gentlemen, I’m your host David Kromelow. Well, Thanksgiving has arrived and NEVER have I been more thankful for this great game of football, ESPECIALLY after a game like the one we saw last night between the Chiefs and the Rams. Hal Bent, was that the best regular season game you’ve ever watched? Hal’s Twitter handle: @halbent01 Week 11 Takeaways -Short-term and long-term, BEWARE THE COLTS! -Akiem Hicks may be the most underrated player i...
#147 NFL Week 11 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent, of FullPressCoverage.com
November 17, 2018 18:34 - 45 minutes - 30.2 MBWelcome back to Sports Krunch with DKrom ladies and gentlemen, I’m your host David Kromelow. The 2018 NFL season is down to its final seven weeks, and this week contains several games that can prove to be very decisive the rest of the way. Two of them are in prime time…including a matchup NFL fans have had circled on their calendar for weeks. And Hal, even though seven weeks is an eternity, you can pretty much say it’s already crunch time as we head into the top of the 2018 season’s stretch, ...
#146 NFL Week 10 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent, of FullPressCoverage.com
November 10, 2018 19:16 - 44 minutes - 29.8 MBWe are already halfway through the 2018 NFL season, and just like many 2018 election races, countless games have gone down to the wire and many (if not most) division titles are still up for grabs. However, the last few weeks of games haven’t had quite as much drama as the first seven or so…and this week’s slate of games looks pretty bland. Hal’s Twitter handle: @halbent01 Week 9 Takeaways -The Pittsburgh Steelers are the team nobody wants to face right now -Redskins are in trouble; Falcons...
#145 NFL Week 9 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent, of FullPressCoverage.com
November 03, 2018 18:15 - 44 minutes - 30.2 MBNFL Week 9 is upon us, and that means we will officially reach the halfway point of the 2018 season at some point on Sunday. Week 8 didn’t bring us quite as many exciting finishes as we’ve been used to seeing on a weekly basis this year, and Thursday night’s Raiders/Niners game was a classic stinker. But with Rams/Saints and the battle for NFC supremacy plus Rodgers vs. Brady Part II on tap for Sunday, I think Week 9 should provide us with far more heart-palpitations than Week 8 did. Hal’s T...
#144 NFL Week 8 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent, of FullPressCoverage.com
October 25, 2018 20:58 - 48 minutes - 32.1 MBIt is hard to believe we are almost halfway through the 2018 NFL season. It’s been a wild ride so far, so wild it seems like a year has gone by. But if you think what we just went through these past seven weeks was wild….you ain’t seen nothing yet. Hal’s Twitter handle: @halbent01 1. Week 7 Takeaways -After getting EMBARRASSED in the “TNF Stinker Bowl”…the clock has to start ticking on Steve Wilks in Arizona -Jaguars will forever regret drafting Leonard Fournette over Mahomes and Watson…a...
#143 NFL Week 7 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent, of FullPressCoverage.com
October 18, 2018 16:52 - 44 minutes - 29.9 MBEvery single week of this 2018 NFL season has consisted of more heart-palpitating finishes to start a season than I can remember. We have had games go to OT every single week, and even though this Week 7 slate of games doesn’t look quite as delicious as those of previous weeks, we should expect even more near-heart attacks this week and for the rest of the season. Hal’s Twitter handle: @halbent01 1. Week 6 Takeaways -Buffalo Bills….talk about an historical difference between offense/defens...
#142 NFL Week 6 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent, of FullPressCoverage.com
October 11, 2018 04:16 - 48 minutes - 33.9 MBWeek 5 in the NFL brought us some more dramatic action. With two more OT finishes in Cleveland and Houston, an amazing last-second finish in Carolina, plus another gutsy play call in crunch time by Sean McVay, the NFL delivered once again in Week 5…as it has done every week this season. And now Week 6 arguably brings THE most exciting matchup of the season to date as a rising star QB battles the greatest QB of all time in prime time. And what better guest is there to preview that game plus th...
#141 NFL Week 5 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent
October 04, 2018 03:49 - 59 minutes - 41 MBIt’s hard to believe…but we’re already one quarter of the way through the 2018 NFL season. And Week 4 gave us some amazing performances. Career games for Jared Goff and Mitchell Trubisky, an impressive debut and “coming of age” game for Patrick Mahomes, three OT games plus two last-second finishes in regulation were a fitting conclusion to the first month of the season…and what we saw this past week is likely just a preview of what awaits us these next 13 weeks. And the journey begins tonight...
#140 NFL Week 4 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent
September 27, 2018 22:06 - 59 minutes - 40.2 MBAs unpredictable as the NFL was in the first two weeks of its 2018 season, week three emphatically yelled: HOLD MY BEER! In week 3, we witnessed the third largest upset in NFL history as Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills went into Minnesota as 16.5 point underdogs and absolutely HUMILIATED the Vikings…the same Vikings team I predicted to win Super Bowl LIII. Also, Baker Mayfield was forced into action and led the Browns to their first victory since December 2016 in remarkable, come-from-behind...
#139 NFL Week 3 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent
September 20, 2018 23:43 - 58 minutes - 39 MBTwo weeks into the 2018 NFL season, unpredictability remains king of America’s real pastime. Who had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Ryan Fitzpatrick starting the year 2-0 having the league’s top offense? Who had the league on pace to have 16 games end in a tie two weeks in? What more exciting twist and turns await the NFL in Week 3? And what better person is there to give us an answer then my right-hand man Hal Bent of FullPressCoverage.com! Hal’s Twitter handle: @halbent01 1. Week 2 Takeaway...
#138 NFL Week 2 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent
September 13, 2018 19:26 - 1 hour - 41.8 MBThe NFL couldn’t have delivered a better product for opening week of its 2018 season. The drama, several amazing finishes (including a tie and a comeback for the ages), and amazing performances by stars and future stars showed why the NFL has been missed badly these past seven months…and why it’s great to have it back. Now, it’s on to Week 2…and once again, what better person can we have on the program to help me preview another fun week of pro football than my great friend Hal Bent of FullPr...
#137 NFL Week 1 Preview (2018) w/ Hal Bent
September 05, 2018 16:46 - 1 hour - 42.6 MBI have been waiting seven months to say these seven words: “NFL football is officially back in action.” Tomorrow night, the 2018 season of the National Football League, the greatest reality TV show every conceived, begins in earnest as the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles host the Atlanta Falcons. And we here at Sports Krunch couldn’t have been more excited for 22 weeks of the non-stop, unpredictable drama that is the NFL and me and my right-hand man Hal Bent of FullPressCove...
#136 NFL News/Notes + 2018 Season Predictions & Picks w/ Hal
September 01, 2018 20:37 - 1 hour - 49.6 MBThe preseason has concluded and we are less than a week away from the real beginning of the 2018 NFL regular season. Right now, the NFL is in the midst of its most brutal 48-hour period of the year as all 32 clubs are in the process of cutting down their rosters from 90 to 53, which they must do by 4 PM ET today. However, as much as I feel the pain of many of those players getting their dreams deferred right now, I would rather devote the time to discussing the excitement surrounding the Nati...
#135 2018 Fantasy Deep Dive III: QB’s w/ Mark Schofield
August 26, 2018 17:38 - 38 minutes - 24.5 MBOne of the most interesting dichotomies between fantasy football drafts and the actual NFL Draft involves the QB position. In the NFL Draft, if teams want to draft a bona fide starting franchise QB, not only are they highly unlikely to find one outside the first round, but outside the top-10 picks as well. On the flip side, when it comes to your fantasy draft, you can wait as long as possible to draft a legitimate starter at QB. And in no year does that sentiment ring truer in fantasy than th...
#134 2018 Fantasy Deep Dive II: RB’s w/ Mike Dente
August 23, 2018 23:20 - 27 minutes - 18.1 MBTonight, NFL regular season dress rehearsals commence and that likely means many of you have your fantasy football league drafts in only a matter of days.

#133 2018 NFL Preseason Week 2 Recap + Week 3 Preview w/ Hal
August 22, 2018 19:39 - 1 hour - 50.4 MB2018 training camps are in the books and we are halfway home in the 2018 NFL preseason. This week all 32 teams will prepare for preseason game #3, which is essentially the dress rehearsal for the regular season. There were also a ton of interesting stories to take away from the “prequel” to that dress rehearsal. To recap what we saw this past week and preview what to look for in these all-important third preseason games, what better person is there than my main man Hal Bent of FullPressCovera...
#132 Minnesota Vikings 2018 Season Preview w/ Myles Gorham
August 17, 2018 17:52 - 47 minutes - 31.1 MBAs I’ve mentioned several times on this program in recent weeks, the Minnesota Vikings are my pick to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LIII. Last season, despite having a journeyman caretaker under center and losing their star rookie RB to an early season-ending injury, the Vikings rode their supremely-talented, championship level defense and brilliant coaching all the way to the NFC Championship, where their hearts were broken by the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles. This spring, GM Rick S...
