It seems like every week that goes by in this crazy league brings with it a new flavor. Entering the season, the Dolphins were on their way to glory with an offense that scored 70 points in a game. Then again, the Bills, 49ers, Eagles and Cowboys won games that made people believe they could be invincible.

  • Listen to the podcast The payment zone below:

The Ravens have made discreet progress and now have the best record (12-3) in the league. Are they as dominant as their listing suggests?

The Chiefs appear to be in disarray with four losses in their last six games and an offense in a coma. It doesn't take much for the inimitable Jean-Nicolas Gagné to ask the big question: Has Taylor Swift become too much of a distraction within this team? With sidekick Stéphane Cadorette, the Chiefs' fall between our two thieves is analyzed from top to bottom.

We of course stand by our week 17 predictions and like us, you haven't had a say this festive period as your questions are many. We are reacting with our usual enthusiasm!

Happy listening and happy holidays!

The paid zone is co-hosted by Jean-Nicolas Gagné and Stéphane Cadorette.
