Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rives and Dave Essler talk NFL contest picks for week 2. He argues the Jets “could have won” and notes Buffalo's heavy workload (78 offensive plays). With division games historically close, he sees value in the Jets. Munaf (12:06 – 13:24) – Agrees, adding Justin Fields' dual-threat potential and Breece Hall's role against Buffalo's shaky run defense. He stresses line shopping, noting DraftKings had Jets +7. McKenzie (13:24 – 15:24) – Supports Jets further, highlighting success rate: Jets ranked third-best in Week 1. He warns of historical ATS struggles for teams after miracle comebacks like Buffalo's. Consensus Pick – All three lock in the Jets. McKenzie Rivers (15:51 – 17:30) – Takes the Chargers -3.5 vs. Raiders, praising Justin Herbert's breakout game and offensive dominance. He dismisses concerns about travel from Brazil, saying rest days and comfort offset it. Munaf (17:31 – 18:52) – Agrees, even bought Herbert MVP futures. He views Raiders as vulnerable after travel from Foxborough. Dave (19:11 – 20:20) – Adds Chargers dominated Raiders last year, credits their underrated defense, and believes they can win the AFC West. Munaf Manji (20:21 – 23:22) – Picks the Cowboys -6 vs. Giants, citing Dak Prescott's history: 22-5 straight up vs. division opponents at home since 2016. 20-7 ATS (74.1%). 8-1 straight up vs. Giants at home, winning by 15.4 points on average. He doubts Russell Wilson can lead the Giants' offense, predicting Dallas rebounds strong. Dave (23:22 – 24:49) – Fully agrees, pointing out the Giants' defense allowed 220 rushing yards and committed penalties that masked their weakness. McKenzie (24:51 – 26:52) – Notes Dak was PFF's second-best QB in Week 1. Dallas showed top-10 offensive success despite losing to Philadelphia. He supports Cowboys strongly. Survivor Picks (30:04 – 34:58) Dave – Chooses Steelers, betting against Sam Darnold's inconsistency and praising Pittsburgh's home-field edge. Munaf – Chooses Chargers, preferring their divisional setup and momentum. McKenzie – Keeps his pick for a separate Survivor pod but warns Week 2 will bring “carnage.” Closing (35:36 – 38:44) The trio agree the Jets are their collective best bet for Week 2. Dave closes with thoughts on fading Carolina, noting Bryce Young's struggles and a porous Panthers run defense that allowed Jacksonville 200 rushing yards. Munaf echoes that Arizona may exploit Carolina's weakness with James Conner, Trey Benson, or Kyler Murray. Munaf wraps the show by thanking his co-hosts, reminding listeners of Pregame.com promotions, and urging them to enjoy the fast-moving NFL season. ✅ Final Consensus Best Bet: New York Jets +6.5 (with value at +7). ✅ Additional Contest Picks: Chargers -3.5, Cowboys -6. ✅ Survivor Selections: Steelers (Dave), Chargers (Munaf).

In this week’s episode of Missing the Point, Mike Marcangelo and Rayshawn Buchanan break down a tough Patriots loss to the Raiders and dive deep into what it means moving forward. The guys take a hard look at Drake Maye’s performance, where he showed flashes of potential but also struggled under questionable play calling and poor situational decisions. They debate whether Josh McDaniels’ offensive strategy held the team back, why TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson weren’t used enough, and how Carlton Davis’ defensive lapses exposed the Patriots secondary. The conversation shifts to broader roster challenges, including the absence of Christian Gonzalez, Milton Williams’ growing role, and the surprising release of Jabrill Peppers. Can Mike Vrabel and his coaching staff establish a winning culture with this group, or is the lack of depth already showing cracks? Outside of Foxborough, the guys turn their attention to the AFC East, where the Miami Dolphins stumbled badly in Week 1 against the Giants. Rayshawn questions whether Mike McDaniel’s job could already be on the line, while Mike considers how long ownership will stay patient. They also break down Tua Tagovailoa’s inconsistency, Tyreek Hill’s fading explosiveness, and whether Jaylen Waddle can truly become a reliable weapon. The episode even touches on Lamar Jackson’s James Harden-like reputation in big games, Josh Allen’s playoff struggles, and the never-ending debate over Tom Brady’s legacy as a “winner” vs. a “talent.” This is a no-holds-barred look at coaching decisions, roster construction, and the big-picture direction of two of the NFL’s most talked-about franchises. If you’re a New England Patriots fan, Miami Dolphins skeptic, or just love hard-hitting football talk, this is an episode you can’t miss. 00:00 – Patriots lose to Raiders in Week 1: immediate reactions03:45 – Drake Maye’s debut performance: flashes of promise and rookie mistakes08:20 – Josh McDaniels’ play calling under fire: lack of offensive balance12:10 – Why Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson need more touches16:35 – Carlton Davis struggles in coverage without Christian Gonzalez21:05 – Jabrill Peppers’ release and what it means for the Patriots secondary26:50 – Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff outcoached in Week 1 loss32:15 – Are the Patriots already facing roster depth problems?37:40 – Miami Dolphins upset by Giants: is Mike McDaniel on the hot seat?42:55 – Tua Tagovailoa’s inconsistency and Tyreek Hill’s fading explosiveness47:30 – Can Jaylen Waddle step up as Miami’s true WR1?51:45 – Lamar Jackson compared to James Harden in big moments56:20 – Josh Allen’s playoff struggles and AFC competition outlook1:01:05 – Tom Brady’s legacy: generational winner vs. generational talent1:05:50 – Patriots vs Dolphins Week 2 preview: bold predictions Stay connected with Missing the Point:Website: https://www.mtpshow.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/@MTPPodTwitter (X): https://twitter.com/MTP_podInstagram: https://instagram.com/MTP_podTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@MTP_podFacebook: https://facebook.com/MTPPodContact: craig@mtpshow.com
