It’s that time of year again when Jeff Mans puts all of his offseason work into identifying that one NFL team that will take the league and the world by surprise in 2023. Over the last three years his “buying the Browns”, “chasing the Chargers”, and “digging the Dolphins” episodes have proven to be right on the money and the belief is that this year’s team will be no different. How can a team with one of the greatest NFL head coaches, an all-time franchise QB, a young powerful running back, a significantly upgraded offensive line, a deeply talented wide receiving corps and a top 10 defense be ignored? Jeff Mans believes they shouldn’t be and that is why he strongly recommends binging on the Denver Broncos in 2023.

Each analyst also gives out their must have fantasy player, their deep sleeper and a prominent player to fade in 2023. The crew dives into where the Jacksonville Jaguars fit within the stacked AFC, which Giants wide receiver will pop and why the Rams might be gunning for the #1 overall pick in 2024. Also find out why Armando Marsal will win the Football Writer of the Year Award, how Russell Clay plans on beating the sportsbooks this year and if Tyler Buecher will leave Mans high and dry after winning the $3 million grand prize in bestball this season. This is a can’t miss episode so sit back, relax and let the content flow.
