A belated Happy New Year from the Section 506 Podcast to you and your loved ones. JP, Jason, and Devin are back to talk about the Week 18 maps, and Jason zeroes in on one decision that irked him out of the four maps. The discussion then shifts to Sunday Night Football, and the rationale of just exactly why NBC and the NFL agreed to have the Ravens-Steelers game on SNF, as opposed to other options in Seahawks-49ers and Panthers-Buccaneers. Jason then gives his thoughts on CBS cutting off Gary...
Here is what should be the final map update of the 2025 NFL season. Thanks as always for your support and for bearing with us through our first season with a Patreon. - JP
These are essentially the preliminary maps, week 18 usually has a lot of changes late in the week because of the tight timeframe with the schedule. Both networks have a doubleheader.
Happy Holidays from the Section 506 Podcast! This week's episode comes a day earlier than normal due to it being Christmas Week, but there's no shortage of discussion for JP, Jason, and Devin. First they dig into what is effectively a two-map Week 17 given FOX has a full national Eagles-Bills clash. Then, it's another look at Week 18 and what games could be national. After that, the gang discuss how the FanDuel RSNs are once again in trouble of staying afloat. And then it's time to bring it a...
This is a rare week where there are as many nationally broadcast games as regional, including 3 on Christmas Day, 2 on Saturday and Eagles @ Bills in the late Sunday slot on FOX.
Preliminary maps for the 2 slots with regional games:
This week's edition of the Section 506 Podcast focus on the embarrassment of riches FOX has in its Week 16 singleheader lineup, compared to CBS limping through its early window of the doubleheader. JP, Devin and Jason then take a stab at the Week 18 marquee games based on results through Week 15, a topic they'll revisit again for sure. And then the announcement of The Oscars moving to streaming-only in 2029 had JP pondering the future of broadcast TV vesus streaming, especially on the sports ...
It looks like CBS was waiting on the outcome of this week's games (especially whether the Chiefs game still has meaning) before waiting on making firm decisions about week 16. Should hopefully have those maps ready by Tuesday. FOX map is below as usual.
The Section 506 Podcast is back with a vengeance after a week off. JP, Devin, and Jason go well over an hour for this edition, starting off with a Week 14 NFL Maps post-mortem, followed by the Week 15 maps. All of the Week 16 and Week 17 changes to the NFL schedule are combed over, and then the massive Thanksgiving Day ratings for Kansas City-Dallas are discussed. The trio wrap it all up giving their insights into Awful Announcing's reader-based rankings of the NFL announcing crews for the ne...
As alluded to in the past two editions of the Section 506 Podcast, there will be no new episode this week. It will return next week. Thank you for understanding.

It's Thanksgiving weekend in the United States, and in honor of Black Friday, we've decided to make this week's podcast FREE for everyone to listen to. It is a quicker edition, though, because of the holiday. No Jason this week, so JP runs over the Week 13 maps with Devin. At the end, JP also touches on NBCSN and ESPN Plus. Enjoy this podcast, in addition to your food and football, and may your holiday weekend be safe!
This week's edition of the Section 506 Podcast has the theme of, "We recorded this the night before stuff changed, so now the podcast is out of date!" Listen to JP, Devin, and Jason talk Wednesday night about a Lions game inexplicably airing through a swath of AFC North territory, just for FOX to (rightfully) change the assignment to the A game of the window this morning. And then listen to them discuss potential flexes for future weeks, in which Week 14's announced flex today was nailed righ...
If you've wanted a wild Section 506 Podcast, this one is for you. Are Saints markets cowtowning for new commentator Drew Brees? Will Florida Governor Ron DeSantis get to see his desired game this week? Do you enjoy Rochester, NY commercials? How was Donald Trump during the Detroit-Washington game? Is Adam Amin on a roll? Should Gus Johnson have a heavy metal band? Is this show off the rails? Cli...
