And as is their custom, they end with a round of Cameo Closest To The Pin, where they guess the Cameo price of the guy who played Saracen in Friday Night Lights.

Bonus: The Over Under Achievers and The Return of College Football
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: This sneak peek preview of The Over Under Achievers, Knox's sports podcast that he co-hosts with Jason Waterfalls and Andre 3 Stacks.
The premise is that every episode, Knox, Jason and Andre consider news from the sports world through the prism of overs and unders. While they do discuss some bets, it's mostly a show where three friends talk trash to each other about sports and every episode ends with the ever-contentious and competitive, "Cameo Closest To The Pin" where Knox, Jason and Andre see who can get the closest to guessing a sports-adjace person's price on Cameo.
