Girlfriends + Football is officially back from a “short break that somehow felt like forever,” and while our fearless leader Dezi is still under the weather, Beth and Laura held it down like pros. Dezi is on injured reserve for one more week (rest up, Coach), because we had business to handle before the playoffs hit.

If Week 16 taught us anything, it’s this: December football does not care about your plans, your sleep schedule, or your holiday stress level.

With just three weeks left in the NFL season, your favorite girlfriends are back and diving into one of the most chaotic weeks we’ve seen all year. Playoff paths are shifting, veterans are returning, dynasties are wobbling, and a wave of major injuries has changed the postseason landscape—especially for Kansas City.

And yes… we’re still in disbelief that we might be looking at a playoff picture without the Chiefs for the first time in nearly a decade.

Grab your drink of choice. Let’s recap.

It’s another Wednesday, which means it’s time for a little football chaos with your favorite girlfriends.

Laura is out on vacation. Beth was supposed to be out, too—until rec basketball scheduling struck again. The game got moved, plans changed, and suddenly Beth was back in the house. Honestly? Perfect timing. Because there was a lot to talk about.

Between major injuries, playoff implications, surprise wins, and a guest lineup that kept things moving, Dezi had her hands full holding down the fort, but she delivered.

This week on Girlfriends + Football, Laura, Beth, and Dezi settled in for a post-holiday catch-up filled with Thanksgiving reactions, playoff talk, sideline fashion, and one very unexpected debate about the Pope’s favorite NFL team.

This week on Girlfriends + Football, the girlfriends gathered for a special Thanksgiving edition packed with holiday vibes, Hallmark romance, Week 13 predictions, and plenty of NFL chaos. If you missed the live show, here’s the full breakdown.

This week on Girlfriends + Football, the energy was high, the laughs were abundant, and the hot takes were steaming. With Thanksgiving approaching and Week 12 ready to roll, the Girlfriends brought in the perfect guest: Registered Dietitian and fitness pro Cassandra Sampson, here to talk wellness, joyful movement, and how to keep your body in one piece during NFL season (even if your emotions aren’t as lucky).

Week 10 in the NFL was one for the emotional record books: frustration, relief, joy, shock, and a whole lot of “football is stupid,” as the Girlfriends put it. From brutal losses to standout wins (looking at you, Lions), plus one of the wildest international games of the season, this week reminded us why football fans need emotional support groups… or at least a lively Wednesday night podcast.

Week 9 of the NFL season brought chaos, emotion, and a few wardrobe statements that deserved flags of their own. For this supersized episode of Girlfriends + Football, hosts Laura, Dezi, and Beth invited a special guest: Roscoes, a devoted 49ers fan who brought passionate energy and unfiltered opinions to an already fiery lineup. Between the trade deadline shake-ups, heartbreaking injuries, and a few moments of sideline fashion brilliance, this episode had everything fans crave and more than a few laughs along the way.

Fifty episodes in, and the Girlfriends are just getting warmed up! This milestone week, Dezi, Beth, and Laura were joined by special guest Steph Sanchez, host of the 49Karats Podcast and co-host of Bully Ball, for an episode that blended expert analysis, heartfelt fandom, and plenty of laughs.

After a rollercoaster of losses in Week 6, everything felt right again in Week 7, and the Girlfriends were here for it. With two teams (Lions and 49ers) back in the win column, and the Bills on a well-deserved bye, the energy on this week’s episode was as vibrant as a Sunday tailgate and twice as entertaining.

If you’ve ever tried to explain to someone how your weekend went and had to start with “Well, all three of our teams lost,” you’ll understand where this episode began. The Girlfriends + Football crew, Dezi, Beth, and Laura, returned from an epic weekend of stadium hopping that included Tampa and Atlanta, tailgates with the Bills Mafia, and one too many heartbreaks on the field.

The ladies of Girlfriends + Football — Beth, Laura, and Dezi — share that Week 5 did not disappoint. We’re talking arrests, trades, heartbreak, and highlight-reel moments.

Dezi kicked things off with big travel plans: Tampa for the Buccaneers vs. 49ers, then off to Atlanta for Monday Night Football to catch the Bills take on the Falcons. It’s a football double-header with a healthy side of tailgating, late nights, and a promise to “rally like Vegas.”

Between celebrating in Vegas and analyzing Week 5, this episode gave us everything: laughs, football chaos, and even a little heartbreak for injured stars. If this week is any preview, the season’s about to get wild.

Week 2 was brutal! We cover the highs, lows & major injuries shaping the NFL season already.
