We talk March Madness, updates on the NFL draft boards, and why isn't anyone talking about Jokic?

After an early exit in the playoffs last year the Raiders have re-loaded and brought in some serious offensive firepower, is Derek Carr the one to lead them to the promise land?

The Chiefs bowed out in the AFC Championship last year but have lost some key pieces, do they have enough firepower to make another deep run?

After a dismal finish to the 2021 season will the Chargers double down on being choke artists? Or rise to the occasion with Justin Herbert and finally be as good as we think they should be.

Teddy gives his take on the reigning, defending, football champions of the worlddddddd LA Rams. No team has won back to back super bowls since the 2004 & 2005 Patriots, will the Rams be the next chosen one?

Teddy breaks down how the Cardinals are trying to improve after going out with a whimper in Kyler Murrays first playoff game, is Kliff Kingsbury on the hot seat now?

Zay basically talks about how the 49ers are always the bridesmaid but never the bride....and I heard they have this Trey Lance guy?

Zay dives into what kind of noise the Vikings will make in the 2022 season and might actually pay Kirk Cousins a compliment or two....he's still trash though.

Teddy breaks down if the Bears have any chance of making a playoff run...or maybe they should start by getting above .500? With Justin Fields could it go either way?

Zay shares his thoughts on what the Detroit Lions will look like in the 2022 season and why Dan Campbell being a strong presence may be just what this team needs to shed the stink of losing over the past few years.

Teddy breaks down what we can expect from the Packers in the 2022 NFL season and if Aaron Rodgers can really keep his dominance in a division that's improved quite a bit from last year.
