Chris Plank and Arnie Spanier start off the show recapping the weekend's NFL preseason games and why it's important to not overreact to preseason games unless a player does terrible, then it's an issue. Next, the guys discuss the Dodgers struggles and whether or not they'll be okay in October this time around considering Will Smith, Mookie Betts, and Kyle Tucker are struggling immensely. The guys also give their picks of teams with the highest chance of going first to worst in the division in the NFL this upcoming season. The NFC South is listed as the division with the highest chance because 3 teams tied for the division last season so it would not shock anyone if the Panthers finished last in the NFC South. Another option is the Steelers going from first to worst with a new head coach and being in a tough division, but that would also mean the Browns would have to finish third which seems unlikely considering their QB situation.
