The first game of the 2020 season is in the books with the same team that won the final game of 2019, emerging victorious. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech break down the Chiefs 34-20 victory over the Texans in the opener. The final score doesn't truly showcase how dominant the champs were on Thursday night. And it wasn't your typical performance from Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes was very good as usual, but it was diminutive rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire that stole the show. On the opposite end, David Johnson looked a bit rejuvenated but Houston was still clearly missing the big-play threat of DeAndre Hopkins. How did Bill O'Brien manage to screw this one up? The Pick Six Superfriends break down all angles of the game on this recap episode!

Football is here! Will Brinson is joined by R.J. White to preview the first game of the 2020 NFL season from a gambling and fantasy perspective. The Chiefs are 9.5-point favorites vs the Texans with the total sitting at 54.5. Is that too many points to be laying, even as the defending champs? How will the lack of preseason football impact the over/under? Will and R.J. share their thoughts and then zero in on player props they like. Finally, advice for DFS...Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson are the obvious "captain" picks, but our guys give out some sleepers as well.

Steve explains how PFF works with all 32 teams in the NFL (4:30), before examining how and why the numbers don't favor Josh Allen (17:00).

George Kittle wasn't the only tight end that got paid big bucks on Thursday. Just a few hours after Kittle agreed to a record extension, his counterpart/rival Travis Kelce came to terms on a deal that could pay him nearly as much money. To recap an eventful August afternoon for TEs, Will Brinson welcomes Ryan Wilson and John Breech for their reactions (3:15). What does the timing of the deal say? Do the dollars make sense? When will it be Zach Ertz's turn? Then, the guys go through a couple more news items that occurred since they last chatted (just a few hours ago). The Bills gave Dion Dawkins a huge extension of his own (20:45), a Seahawks rookie got cut for trying to sneak a female visitor into the team hotel (23:15) and it appears that Todd Gurley could be limited (30:45) That's just some bonus content on this Travis Kelce emergency podcast!

George Kittle will become the highest-paid tight end in NFL history after agreeing to a reported 5-year, $75 million extension with the 49ers. There's been buzz regarding a potential deal all summer and on Thursday, the two sides finally made it happen. To break down the record extension, Will Brinson brings on the Superfriends - Ryan Wilson and John Breech - for full analysis. Why now? How will this signing impact future contracts for notable tight ends like Travis Kelce and Zach Ertz? Will, Ryan and John also offer their thoughts on Kittle's value and expectations for San Francisco's offense in this emergency episode.

Generally speaking, if you want a good football team you have to have a solid quarterback and head coach. If you want to have a great football team, you'll likely need better than good at those two positions. On this episode, Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech rank the top QB/coach duos in the NFL. But first, they address Sean McDermott's contract extension from the Bills (6:15) and where he fits in on the list of best coaches never to win a Super Bowl. Then, Ryan offers a quick Hard Knocks recap (18:00). If you could combine any QB and coach, regardless of current team, who are you picking (32:30)? The guys answer that before diving into a draft of the top actual QB/coach combos from around the league (47:00). Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are a match made in football heaven and the obvious top choice, but after that, it's fair game.

A month out from kickoff and we're still speculating what the 2020 NFL season will look like. To help with that speculation, aided by some inside reporting, Jonathan Jones joins Will Brinson to break down COVID-19 related effects on the league. Could teams seriously employ a quarantine strategy among their quarterbacks (9:30)? It's an idea that's been tossed around for months as JJ addresses the validity of the approach. At the time of recording, the Big Ten and Pac 12 had not officially canceled (err, postponed) their college football seasons, but we knew it was coming...With that in mind, the guys discuss the potential for Saturday NFL games this year (19:30). Also, Jonathan explains why identifying character concerns are an even bigger emphasis than normal when deciding to sign a player during these pandemic times (33:00). Lastly, Dwayne Haskins is the guy in Washington, right (46:00)? 'Pick Six' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

It may not feel like it, but football and more specifically, gambling on football is a month away. And with no fans or limited fans in the stands this season, betting will surely change. R.J. White joins Will Brinson to discuss the impact that this unique year will have on home-field advantage (11:00). Which teams will benefit? Which teams will suffer?

Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech get together for a football and tangent-filled Monday Mailbag. Who are some of the best non-QB draft picks of the past decade? How about the very worst selections? The guys proceed to rank grocery stores (not a listener question) before answering actual listener questions. Brinson, Wilson and Breech talk Tua Tagovailoa and the narrative at Alabama, trivia and the Hall of Fame. Ryan then flips the script and poses a parenting question of his own.

We're accustomed to lots of deadlines in the NFL, but this isn't one we ever expected to be talking about. The deadline for players to opt out of the 2020 season over COVID-19 concerns passed on Thursday with a few names added to the list, bringing the total to 66. Tre'Davious White was not one of those names, but he was still forced to defend himself on Twitter. There was zero reason for White to receive criticism though. The Pick Six Superfriends break down which teams were hurt the most by opt outs before addressing the same thing happening in college football. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech react to projected Top 10 picks Gregory Rousseau from Miami and Micah Parsons from Penn State deciding to skip the season and focus on the 2021 NFL Draft, with coronavirus looming over the sport. Oh yeah, did Derek Carr get caught with a burner account? To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The field has expanded, so we're guaranteed to get new playoff teams in 2020. But even beyond that, you can expect more fresh faces to the postseason party this season. Will Brinson is joined by Jared Dubin to break down the most likely teams to make the leap. It wouldn't be an episode with Dubin without bringing up the Cowboys, but they are a legitimate candidate for this list. When you add Tom Brady to the mix, your odds skyrocket, so the Bucs have to be on here as well. But who else? Are there easy answers in the AFC? Could a pair of 2004 1st-round QBs be primed to take advantage of one of the few postseason shots they have left? Those answers on this pod.

There's always turnover with playoff teams and in a year like 2020, even with an expanded field, you can expect some changes to who makes the postseason. That means teams that reached the playoffs last year, have to miss it this year and that's what Will Brinson and Josh Edwards are discussing on this episode. Will and Josh (who's a great draft analyst as well for CBSSports.com) break down projected 1st-round pick Rashod Bateman opting out of the college football season (3:45), before evaluating teams that could be bound to miss the postseason (7:35). Who fits the mold for regression more in the NFC: Seahawks or Packers? Even after an appearance in the AFC Championship game, the Titans have tons of doubters (23:15). Is that fair? The Texans lost DeAndre Hopkins and have Bill O'Brien, but BOB has made the playoffs in 4 of his 6 seasons with the franchise...Who else makes this list that you really don't want to be on?

The Superfriends are together again. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech join forces to talk NFL schedule and lots of notes from around the NFL. First, Breech has some thoughts on how the league could adapt its schedule for the upcoming and unprecedented season (6:30). Wait, could this actually work!? Then, the guys dive into a variety of news including Doug Pederson testing positive for COVID-19 (34:00), Matthew Stafford and Gardner Minshew landing on the COVID list (42:30) and CJ Mosley opting out of the 2020 season (49:00). What will the impact be on all these fronts?

Pete Prisco makes his triumphant return to the podcast to break down the biggest questions surrounding teams as Training Camp begins across the league. First, Pete and host Will Brinson discuss how the MLB's return to play (and subsequent positive COVID-19 results) could impact the NFL. Then, they dive into the most pressing questions concerning proven contenders and those that are hoping to contend this season. Did the Seahawks get fleeced in the Jamal Adams deal (19:30)? The Chiefs and 49ers were the best two teams in 2019, but can they manage the same success in 2020 (31:30)? The Bucs (42:00) and Cowboys (46:30) figure to be two of the most high-interest teams in the league but have questions just like everyone else. Quarterbacks are often the focal point for exercises like these and not always for good reasons, but Pete shares his confidence in Joe Burrow, Josh Allen and even Baker Mayfield.

After months of limited information regarding the NFL's plans to address COVID-19 concerns, the last couple of days have been a whirlwind. Jonathan Jones joins Will Brinson to break it all down from the #WeWantToPlay hashtag that circulated Sunday to the testing agreed upon on Monday. Was the coordinated effort really necessary or was the league close to a solution all along? Will and JJ discuss testing, the elimination of the preseason and teams that will be best prepared heading into the season. They also focus on the competitive balance this season and how that could be easily impacted if a minor detail goes wrong. What will football media coverage look like in 2020? That's just one of the many questions that remains unanswered as we enter an unprecedented year.
