2026 is finally here! And so are the NFL Playoffs… not to mention the College Football Playoffs and some big changes here at Dude Perfect! In this action-packed start to 2026, the Dudes reveal their predictions for the first round of the NFL Playoffs all the way through the Super Bowl, as well as the semi-finals of the College Football playoffs. The Dudes also react to the shocking slew of NFL coach firings, transfer portal moves, a new sport called car jiu-jitsu and an Almost Athlete moment with a dog playing lockdown defense! Later, Graham and Jackson give all the behind-the-scenes stories from their Intern Battle and then face off against Sparky in a college logo guessing game, where the guys try to identify schools from their logos. The episode wraps with updates on a huge year of upcoming Dude Perfect projects, the Outdoor Channel, merch upgrades, and the Dudes surprising New Year’s Resolutions. If you have a question, hot take, or your own Almost Athlete moment, go to AlmostAthletes.com or call in at (972) 805-8866.
