Munaf Manji and Lonte Smith talk NFL season long player props and much more. The 2025 NFL season kicks off with Pregame's Props Podcast diving into NFL player props and futures betting. Host Munaf Manji (0:05–0:59) returns after last year's success, joined by Lonte Smith from the College Football Podcast, ready to break down the best season-long prop bets across quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. By the one-minute mark (0:59–1:18), Lonte expresses excitement for profitability and preparation as kickoff approaches. Munaf (1:18–2:34) lays out the plan: four props each across positions, reminding listeners to shop for the best numbers. Quarterbacks open the show. Lonte (2:35–4:16) takes Justin Herbert under 3,650.5 yards, pointing to Jim Harbaugh's run-heavy approach, the addition of Najee Harris, Herbert's injury history, and a tough AFC West. Munaf (4:16–6:21) agrees, highlighting Herbert's inconsistency, weak defenses inflating numbers last year, and how divisional upgrades could suppress his totals. Munaf (6:24–8:59) then targets J.J. McCarthy under 3,650.5 yards. The rookie Viking, fresh off an ACL recovery, faces high expectations equal to top-12 rookie seasons all time. With Justin Jefferson's hamstring, Addison's suspension, and a run-first scheme with Aaron Jones, he calls the over unrealistic. Lonte (9:00–10:45) echoes that McCarthy isn't a gunslinger and won't consistently reach 300 yards weekly. Running backs bring debate. Lonte (11:22–12:53) bets Breece Hall over 5.5 rushing TDs, boosted by Justin Fields creating lighter boxes and red-zone chances. Munaf (12:59–15:45) takes the opposite side, fading Hall's rushing yards under 850.5 due to offensive line issues, Fields' dual-threat style, and negative game scripts forcing the Jets to pass. Receivers headline next. Lonte (18:41–19:32) backs Tyreek Hill over 980.5 yards, calling it a buy-low after last season's 959 yards. Munaf (21:07–23:21) supports the case, noting Hill's 82 career TDs and Miami's playoff-or-bust year. Munaf (23:22–25:33) also hammers Mike Evans over 950.5 yards, citing his decade-long 1,000-yard streak, Mayfield's trust, and a thin Bucs WR corps. Tight ends feature with Lonte's favorite play (28:13–30:52): Tyler Warren over 575.5 yards. A first-round pick in an empty Colts WR room, Warren projects as a focal point. Munaf (31:14–35:11) agrees, pointing to his 6'6” frame and red zone upside. For his final pick, Munaf (31:14–35:11) highlights Drake London over 1,225.5 yards, citing Michael Penix Jr.'s arm and London's 100-catch, 1,271-yard 2023. Lonte (35:12–37:08) compares London to Mike Evans and sees expanded slot usage boosting targets. They close with bonus leans: George Pickens over 875.5 yards in Dallas' pass-first system (38:00–39:19), Bucky Irving over 1,000.5 rushing yards if he seizes RB1 (41:27–43:49), and Matthew Stafford unders given lingering back injuries (43:50–44:55). Both spotlight C.J. Stroud (44:59–49:14) as a breakout candidate with new weapons, betting angles pointing to potential MVP value at 25–30/1. This debut 2025 Props Podcast underscores why NFL season-long player prop betting is surging: sharp handicapping, injury context, scheme fits, and matchup analysis. From Herbert and McCarthy unders to Hill, Evans, Warren, and London overs, the insights offer bettors actionable edges for the new season. Learn more about your ad choices.

Carl and Mike get back to Falcons talk and believe they are bringing in a lot of guys who are "J.I.C....just in case" as they look to move forward without Kaleb McGary and believe the team will still be making some type of deal to bring in an offensive tackle they believe will be best to replace McGary. As the conversation continues, they share thoughts on why Carl believes the McGary situation will likely have Michael Penix Jr. being more of a "game manager" and does not need to be expected to be slinging the ball around the field.
Carl and Mike close out the show with final thoughts on their conversation on why Michael Penix Jr. may be better off being more of a game manager in regards to the Falcons putting him in the best position to win as they deal with the loss of Kaleb McGary. They then share thoughts on the Braves 12-1 win over the Marlins today and there being some chippiness due to a pitcher going in and high on Ronald Acuna Jr.
In the 4th hour of today's show, the guys hit the Falcons report. Does Michael Penix need to be a game manager while the Falcons retool the offensive line?
Carl and Mike come back with some more Falcons talk as they share more thoughts on why Carl believes in Week 1 Michael Penix Jr. needs to be more of a game manager due to the fact that they will be figuring out their right tackle situation.

Rich, Brockman and TJ reveal how the NFC South will shake out among the Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers and Saints, and debate if the Falcons will keep Kirk Cousins around as Michael Penix Jr's backup all season or trade the former Pro Bowler to a QB-needy team. Nnamdi Asomugha joins Rich in-studio where he reveals how he went from being an All-Pro NFL cornerback to writing, directing and acting in movies like ‘The Knife' and his upcoming AppleTV series ‘The Savant' alongside Oscar-winner Jessican Chastain, weighs in on the Hollywood Reporter's highly-controversial list of the 25 best sports movies ever, and reveals why he, unlike the rest of his former Raiders teammates, never feared the team's late owner Al Davis.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock exposes what makes Shedeur Sanders the “Clickbait King” by unpacking the contrived controversy surrounding his recent performance during the Browns' final preseason game and accusations that Coach Kevin Stefanski's play-calling deliberately undermined Sanders' success. Guest Steve Kim joins the show to discuss Shedeur Sanders being made a victim by the sports media, Micah Parsons' head-scratching behavior on the sideline of the Cowboys' preseason game against the Falcons, Shilo Sanders throwing a punch and getting ejected from the Buccaneers' game against the Bills, and Michael Penix Jr. and Lamar Jackson confronting trolling fans.

This week on The Josh Potter Show, Josh drags himself to the mic, keeping the consecutive show streak alive like a champ! You just can't keep a good roach down! Meanwhile in the news, a racist Breeze Airlines passenger runs into a linebacker. But he's not the rudest passenger this week. Another man urinated in the back of a police car, hoping to lower his BAC. At least he kept it in his pants. We can't say the same for a recent Airbnb guest, whose neighbors witnessed a very different kind of splash in the pool… Plus:
Carl and Mike come back with more thoughts on the reports of Falcons offensive tackle Kaleb McGary suffering an apparent leg injury and being carted off the practice field and backup guard, Storm Norton reportedly having undergone surgery and expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks.

RUNDOWN Not a roast but a convo about Taylor Swift's appearance with the Kelce brothers. Maybe some Kylie vs. Taylor banter, and Billy Joel's new documentary. Mitch and Hotshot run through notable August 18th birthdays and remembrances before spotlighting historic sports moments—from George Brett's chase for .400 to Earl Campbell's retirement and Rich Beem's upset of Tiger Woods. Then a little Beatles-in-Seattle tour lore. From there, the show jumps into Ed Sullivan's power to launch music careers, including the Commodores' near-miss. The Mariners' playoff push and the Seahawks' preseason promise. Mitch praises the offensive line and Sam Darnold's sharp play, while Hotshot keeps him grounded with the refrain: “It's the preseason.” The duo even dream on a Trey Hendrickson trade. The Mariners No-Table crew dives into a tough 2–4 stretch against Baltimore and New York, citing both rotation struggles and lineup issues, while finding optimism in Bryce Miller's return and Brian Wu's consistency. Gino Suarez's slump and playoff rotation questions loom large, as bold predictions fly for the Phillies and A's series. Brady Henderson of ESPN joins to break down Uchenna Nwosu's return, the unlikely Hendrickson trade scenario, Jake Bobo's breakout, and Clint Kubiak's offensive reboot. He also highlights Zach Charbonnet's growing role, Sam Darnold's fit in the new scheme, and the roster battles heating up ahead of Week 1. KJ-Aren'ts—Mitch and Jason Puckett banter over podcast quirks, golf habits, chowder debates in the heat, and family traditions.

In the 2nd hour of today's show, the guys hit 4th and 1. We hear from Zac Robinson on sitting Penix for another preseason game.
Carl and Mike get back to more Falcons and react to comments by Zac Robinson in which he addressed Michael Penix Jr. not getting any preseason snaps, to which he told the media the team has "no problem" with the second year QB heading into his first season as the team's starter without playing in the preseason.
ATLANTA (AP) Kendell Brooks scored on a 53-yard interception return and rookie quarterback Cameron Ward had mixed results as the Tennessee Titans beat the Atlanta Falcons 23-20 in a preseason game Friday night. Joey Slye's 23-yard field goal with 9:03 remaining gave Tennessee (1-1) the lead. Falcons backup quarterback Emory Jones was stopped on a fourth-down run near the Tennessee 20 with 2:57 remaining. Jones was shaken up on the hit by linebacker Amari Burney and cornerback Jemari Harris. Jones walked off the field with assistance. Ward played three series and completed 2 of 7 passes for 42 yards. Ward's highlight was a 35-yard completion to Elic Ayomanor on the Titans' opening series. Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL draft, had another long pass dropped by Van Jefferson. The teams traded third-quarter touchdowns. Jemar Jefferson's 16-yard scoring run, which capped a 13-play drive, gave the Titans a 20-13 lead. Easton Stick, who played the first three quarters for Atlanta, threw a 52-yard scoring pass to Chris Blair to tie the game. Brandon Allen, who played behind Ward, threw a 25-yard scoring pass to tight end Gunnar Helm late in the first half. Nathan Carter produced the Falcons' first touchdown with a 43-yard run in the third quarter. Younghoe Koo kicked field goals of 42 and 36 yards for Atlanta (0-2). Among the Titans held out on offense were RB Tony Pollard, WRs Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett, RG Kevin Zeitler. Center Lloyd Cushenberry, who passed his physical Monday as he continues his return from an Achilles tendon injury, participated in pregame drills but did not play. Atlanta's top two quarterbacks, starter Michael Penix Jr. and backup Kirk Cousins, sat out for the second straight preseason game after receiving the bulk of the snaps in team drills in two joint practices against the Titans this week. RB Bijan Robinson and WRs Drake London and Ray-Ray McCloud also were spectators. Falcons rookie edge rusher Jalon Walker was held out after playing last week in a 17-10 loss to Detroit. The game completed a string of nine nights away from home for the Titans, who had a joint practice at Tampa Bay last week before their 29-7 loss to the Buccaneers. Trevor Siemian, who was signed Monday, took over at quarterback for Tennessee in the fourth quarter and led the drive capped by Slye's go-ahead field goal. Siemian spent much of 2024 on the Titans' practice squad. He replaced Tim Boyle, who was released after completing only 4 of 13 passes for 24 yards with two interceptions against the Buccaneers. Stick, competing for Atlanta's No. 3 quarterback job, completed 15 of 25 passes for 145 yards with one touchdown and the one interception returned for a touchdown by Brooks. Allen completed 11 of 14 passes for 119 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Titans: Following two road games, the Titans host Minnesota next Friday night. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's been a while since we've last spoken and we have to speed up our NFL division previews. This week we tackle two divisions, the NFC East and NFC South. In the East, the Eagles look locked in as favorites despite Landon Dickerson's knee scare and major expectations on newly extended Saquon Barkley. The Commanders are riding momentum under Dan Quinn after last year's surprise playoff run, while the Cowboys stir headlines with Dak Prescott predicting a deep postseason push and Micah Parsons still in a contract standoff. The Giants linger as longshots, but rookie RB Dante Miller's preseason breakout has fans buzzing.In the South, Tampa Bay is eyeing a fifth straight crown with Baker Mayfield preserved for Week 1 and rookie WR Emeka Egbuka shining, though Tristan Wirfs' injury looms large. Atlanta's fate hinges on Michael Penix Jr. in a true boom or bust season, while the Saints begin the Kellen Moore era hoping to bounce back from the basement. Carolina stays in rebuild mode under Dave Canales, looking for any spark to climb out of the division's cellar.Who do we think are legit and whose season might be over before it even starts? Listen to find out. Connor has a breakfast shot take, Nick adds another state to our list of 'Worst States,' and Producer Brett has it out for a certain piece of technology that hasn't changed in 30 to 40 years.
