Weekend Sports Huddle with Tom Pollin & Dave Holcomb

WRSP presents the 23rd weekly episode of Weekend Sports Huddle with co-hosts Tom Pollin and Dave Holcomb. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers dropped their fourth game in a row and now appear in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2013. Our hosts begin today by explaining what they believe is wrong with the Steelers and predict whether they can turn it around this week. In the next five days, Pittsburgh will play twice and even one more loss could ruin the team's season.

Despite the loss, the Steelers vs. Cowboys game last week was one for the ages, as was the Seahawks and Patriots matchup on Sunday night. Is the NFL officially back and interesting again after these two classics? Tom and Dave explain why the league could be. Tom will also provide his weekly Nostrathomas Predictions for Week 11.

Then it's on to the College Football Playoff. Since last week's episode, the No. 2, 3, 4 and 5 team in the country have all lost. More chaos could ensure Saturday if just one more upset occurs.

To conclude the show, our hosts will talk baseball free agency, which is beginning to heat up. Friday was the last day to add players to the 40-man roster to protect from the Rule 5 Draft. The Cubs took advantage of that by claiming a left-handed reliever off waivers. 

Much to the chagrin of the Pirates, several second and third tier free-agent pitchers have already begun to sign with clubs and the dollar amount has been high. Not only is one of their potential targets off the market, the Pirates are going to have to open their wallets to sign anybody noteworthy.

One thing that would help the Pirates is if teams decide to satisfy their starting pitcher needs with trades, and one potential blockbuster out there would be if the White Sox deal Chris Sale. Our hosts will predict the likelihood of such a trade happening.
