Jared and Matt wrap up the 2026 NFL and college football preview season by breaking down the AFC North, NFC North, and the SEC conference. Plus, it's time for the first Six-Pack of the year — six weekly college football picks against the spread.   We start in the AFC North, a division turned upside down this offseason. Three of the four teams enter with new head coaches — Jesse Minter in Baltimore after John Harbaugh's departure to the Giants, Mike McCarthy back home in Pittsburgh, and Todd Monken taking over in Cleveland after Kevin Stefanski left for Atlanta. On top of that, the Browns sent shockwaves through the league by trading superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett to the Rams. We break down how the division shakes out amid all the change.   From there we shift to the NFC North, where the Bears look to defend their surprise division title after a wild, comeback-fueled 11-6 season under first-year head coach Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. The Lions enter as the betting favorites once again after a disappointing fall from grace, while the Packers deal with uncertainty up front as star pass rusher Micah Parsons starts the year on the PUP list. We break down all four teams in what's shaping up to be one of the league's most competitive divisions.   We close out the football previews with the SEC. Georgia enters as the back-to-back defending conference champion behind quarterback Gunner Stockton, while Texas, Alabama, and a Lane Kiffin-led LSU squad round out the league's top tier of national title contenders.   Then it's time for our first Six-Pack of the season:

AFC North lock-em-in predictions. RIP Dolly Parton. Robo-Olympics. CFB kicks off.

Welcome back everybody to OSP — the Original Sports Podcast — Season 6, Episode 5. Football is officially back, and we've got a packed show tonight. We're starting with the Steelers. Preseason Game 2 against the Jets is in the books, so we'll talk about what we learned, who helped themselves, who hurt themselves, and which roster battles are becoming clear. Then college football is back with Week 0. We'll hit the biggest stories, break down the Top 10, and give you some early predictions. Finally, we're continuing our NFL division breakdown.

The dynamic duo kick things off with the division champion Pittsburgh Steelers: can new head coach Mike McCarthy go on one more run with QB Aaron Rodgers? Next up, the Baltimore Ravens, who are tied for the highest win total in the league currently, despite going 8-9 last year and kicking off the season with a new head coach in Jesse Minter. Are the Ravens ready to make a Super Bowl run in 2026? The Cincinnati Bengals are up next, and Nate & Robert weigh in on if they've done enough on defense to allow Joe Burrow & his elite receivers to carry them to a deep playoff run, plus a potential transition to an under-center offense. Finally, the Cleveland Browns have made plenty of interesting moves this offseason, but will they translate to wins on the field this fall? Nate & Robert reveal their expectations for head coach Todd Monken and the Browns' young roster. The duo finish off the show with their final predictions: who takes home the AFC North this season?

Ken Carmen and Anthony Lima evaluate the AFC North with reporters from Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh. They explore a hypothetical scenario where Shedeur Sanders and Dylan Gabriel are part of the Browns' quarterback room alongside Deshaun Watson. The conversation focuses on the fallout of Watson's recent performances and the growing fan preference for Sanders as the starter. 02:11 - Ken Weinman on Ravens Training 06:25 - Tony Pike Analyzes Bengals Roster 10:35 - Chris Mueller on Steelers Quarterbacks 14:42 - Deshaun Watson vs Shedeur Sanders 20:15 - Chris Simms on QB Competition 24:57 - Comparing Watson and Sanders 28:38 - Ownership Ego and Roster Decisions 33:54 - Backup QB Popularity in Cleveland 40:50 - Joe Thomas Segment Preview

Ken tries to justify why he's rooting for the Guardians "in a vacuum" this year, separate from the frustration surrounding the Browns and Cavs, and workshops a series of college football comparisons—first Purdue, then Minnesota, then Arkansas—to capture a scrappy, low-budget team overperforming against big spenders like the Dodgers. Lima and the rest of the room shoot down every comparison as a stretch, with Ken eventually conceding he's just trying to find a way to be excited about a low-payroll team making the playoffs without sounding like he's making excuses for ownership. The segment closes with a quick preview of Sunday's Browns game and reminders about the AFC North catch-up and Ralphy Velasquez chatter from earlier in the show.

Ken and Lima check in around the division, with Baltimore's Ken Weinman previewing the Ravens' joint practice with Washington and calling Deshaun Watson "delusional" after his post-game press conference, and Cincinnati's Tony Pike breaking down Ja'Marr Chase's hyperextended-knee scare along with a stacked Bengals roster he ranks as Joe Burrow's best yet. Pittsburgh's Chris Mueller previews a crowded quarterback room and a contract standoff with Joey Porter Jr., but it's his blunt take on the Browns that stands out—arguing owner-driven pressure, not football logic, is really behind starting Watson over Sanders. Multiple guests agree Sanders looked better in preseason, setting up a tease for a former NFL QB's theory on why he lost the job anyway.

August 26, 2026 Hour 3 Will Graves & David Bearman. Will joins the show to talk Pittsburgh Steelers. Can the AFC North produce two playoff teams. David Bearman talks gambling.

The fastest way to ruin your peace before Week 1 is to write down your NFL season predictions in ink, so that's exactly what we do. We bring back our annual record-prediction game, complete with our “within one game” scoring and the chaos button: the steal, where you can challenge the other side's win total and try to grab extra points.We go division by division and force real choices. The NFC North turns into a tight fight between Lions confidence, Bears hope, Packers skepticism, and a Vikings slide. The AFC North gets spicy with a Browns collapse, a Bengals “revenge tour” vibe, and a real disagreement about what the Ravens look like with coaching changes and a new approach to Lamar. The South divisions are all about schedule math, roster turnover, and resisting the yearly Falcons “Madden roster” trap, while the AFC South hinges on one question: can Houston's offense and CJ Stroud shake off the bad taste and win ugly when it matters?Then the Easts arrive and the temperature rises. We talk Eagles control of the NFC East, argue about what a “successful” Giants season even is, and fight through Cowboys expectations. The AFC East turns into pure hate and strategy as we land on Bills and Patriots win totals, debate how many wins the Jets can accidentally steal, and ask how low Miami can go after major departures. We close with the West divisions, where the 49ers health roulette, Rams strength, and Seahawks ceiling set up a real NFC arms race, then we finish with award picks: MVP, OPOY, DPOY, rookies, Coach of the Year, and first coach fired.If you love NFL record predictions, win totals, strength of schedule arguments, and takes you can quote back at us in December, hit play, subscribe, and leave a review.

The St. Louis Cardinals suffered one of the most painful losses of the season Sunday, blowing a 4-0 lead in the ninth inning before Kyle Schwarber's two-run walk-off homer gave Philadelphia a 6-4 victory. The loss capped a disappointing 5-6 road trip and dropped the Cardinals to 66-66. So, is the NL Wild Card still realistically in play? Absolutely—but the margin for error is getting smaller. The Cardinals entered the weekend only 3½ games behind the final Wild Card spot, but they're now sitting at .500 while teams such as Arizona, San Diego and Philadelphia remain ahead of them in the race. Arizona's win over Cincinnati kept the Diamondbacks firmly in the mix at 69-62. The bigger concern may be whether St. Louis can survive its pitching situation. Andre Pallante is on the injured list with elbow inflammation, while Hunter Dobbins is also dealing with a forearm issue. The Cardinals will need their pitching depth—and their offense—to hold up over the final weeks. Then it's time for our 2026 NFL Divisional Winners Predictions. We go division by division and make our picks—not necessarily just taking the betting favorite. The current market has Buffalo favored in the AFC East, Baltimore in the AFC North, Houston in the AFC South and Kansas City among the AFC West favorites, while Philadelphia is favored in the NFC East and the NFC West remains particularly interesting after the Rams' offseason addition of Myles Garrett. The fun debate: Which division winner are we most confident in, and which favorite is most likely to get knocked off? The 2026 NFL futures market shows just how tight some of these races could be.

The Prophet Playoff Theory heads to the AFC North, where all four teams enter 2026 with major questions, new leadership and plenty of pressure. First up: The Baltimore Ravens. Jesse Minter takes over as head coach and brings his defensive prowess to a team led by two-time MVP Lamar Jackson. Can Minter get Baltimore's defense back to its dominant ways? Will Derrick Henry finally fall off a cliff, and can the offensive line keep this offense from being its own worst enemy? The Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati can't afford another slow start. Joe Burrow's health remains one of the biggest questions surrounding this team, but for the first time in a while, the Bengals have made major investments in their defense. Can Burrow make it through the entire season, and will the revamped defense finally give Cincinnati the ability to win some low-scoring games when the offense isn't carrying the team?The Cleveland Browns. Cleveland has a decision to make at quarterback, and Rashad and Keven aren't waiting around — they believe Shedeur Sanders should start right away. Can the 2nd year QB take control of the offense and give the Browns a real direction at quarterback? And with Andrew Berry still running the front office, will Cleveland continue to hit on the draft picks needed to build this team back up?The Pittsburgh Steelers. Mike McCarthy is in, and so is Aaron Rodgers for what could be his final NFL season. Is McCarthy's system the perfect fit for this version of Rodgers, or are we asking too much from a 42-year-old quarterback? Can the McCarthy-Rodgers reunion recreate some of that Green Bay magic? And with Mike Tomlin no longer on the sideline, can Pittsburgh still find a way to finish around .500 or better? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/preach-kev-preach-w-rashad--2977392/support.
