On today's episode, Jason does a full recap of Sunday’s Week 1 action around the NFL, starting with a surprising defense of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. Brady threw 2 interceptions against the New Orleans Saints – including a Pick-6 – but Jason says you would be wise to buy stock on Brady and the Bucs now that so many football fans have already started to jump off the bandwagon. He also explains why although he was impressed with Cam Newton’s debut performance as the New England Patriots quarterback, Bill Belichick would be wise to not to run Newton so much if he plans on having his signal caller around at the end of the season. Jason goes on to explain why he believes that Aaron Rodgers, and not Lamar Jackson or Russell Wilson, turned in the most impressive quarterback performance of the day, and tell us why he was extremely disappointed in the performance Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys put together in their Sunday Night Football loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Later, Jason discusses why he’s having a hard time taking Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers seriously as title contenders after they blew yet another double-digit lead to the Denver Nuggets and have now been pushed to an upcoming Game 7. Finally, Jason does a quick preview of tonight’s opening Monday Night Football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants in the Monday edition of the Best Bet.
