    Carmen and Jurko go to Las Vegas with Todd Furman for a full football betting preview after the Packers’ ugly Thursday night loss.

He also weighs in on Cubs and White Sox futures as both Chicago baseball teams head to October. The guys celebrate PCA’s 40-40 season, the White Sox’s historic playoff turnaround and the rare feeling of both sides of town being alive at the same time. The hour closes with Will Venable’s clubhouse message, the Sox still chasing Cleveland, the Cubs trying to manage the Boston weather and a case for Venable as manager of the year.

Jeff Meller joins in studio to break down the Game 3 pitching options, including Hagan Smith, Davis Martin, Eric Fedde, Noah Schultz, Jordan Hicks, Sean Newcomb and Grant Taylor. The hour also highlights Miguel Vargas’ strong plate appearances, the Sox’ pitching chaos and why this postseason run has pulled in plenty of Chicago baseball fans.

    9/28 11AM: Jurko’s Bears-Eagles Keys
    Sep 28 2026
    Carmen and Jurko close Bears Bonanza with Yurko’s Keys for Bears-Eagles on Monday Night Football. The good kid says the Bears need smart football, no penalties, more involvement from the receivers and tight ends, defensive-line movement and a cleaner kicking operation from Cairo Santos. The hour also features an all-time moment when Yurko forgets his own acronym, plus reaction to Caleb Williams’ grade two hamstring strain and how long the Bears may be without their starting quarterback. The guys also discuss the Vikings trading J.J. McCarthy to the Giants, the challenges of winning with Case Keenum and whether the Bears can steal a close one at Soldier Field. The show wraps with Cubs and White Sox playoff excitement, late-night postseason baseball, President’s Cup reaction and Bears-Eagles predictions.
