Any Given Sunday Australia

The biggest moment in Australian NFL history is almost here.🏈

In this special episode of Any Given Sunday Australia, we sit down with NFL Australia & New Zealand GM Charlotte Offord to go behind the scenes on the incredible journey that has brought the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers to the MCG for the NFL's first-ever regular-season game in Australia. (NFL)

Charlotte takes us through what has been a two-to-three-year journey behind the scenes, from growing the NFL's Australian fanbase to finally delivering a regular-season game — and reveals why she sees the Melbourne game as a milestone rather than the destination.

🔥 In this interview, we talk about:

• How NFL fandom in Australia has grown from 5.7 million fans in 2022 to 8.8 million today

• The huge amount of work that went into securing Australia's first regular-season NFL game

• How Charlotte originally pushed for a preseason game before the NFL came back with something much bigger

• Why getting a Week 1 game between NFC West rivals the Rams and 49ers is such a massive deal

• How the NFL secured the MCG and why the stadium was the perfect venue

• The possibility of seeing different NFL teams rotate through Australia in future years

• The three-game commitment at the MCG and what could come next

• The enormous week of NFL events taking over Melbourne

• The NFL Kickoff Festival at Melbourne Park

• The NFL Shop and the push to bring all 32 teams' merchandise to Australian fans

• The incredible pre-game entertainment planned for the MCG

• The NFL's plans to make the Melbourne game a genuine full-day fan experience

• What fans need to know about security and the MCG's clear-bag policy

• Charlotte's relationship with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and his commitment to growing the game globally

• The future of flag football in Australian schools

• How flag football has grown from a pilot program in just 10 schools to more than 500 schools

• The potential impact of flag football ahead of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics

• And, of course, who Charlotte thinks will win Rams vs 49ers! 👀

Charlotte also gives us a fascinating insight into the long-term vision for the NFL in Australia — including her hope that games here eventually become a regular annual event.

And with the Rams vs 49ers officially confirmed as the historic first game, this isn't just another international fixture. It's the beginning of what could be a very different future for the NFL Down Under. (San Francisco 49ers)

🎙️ A fascinating conversation with one of the people at the centre of bringing the NFL to Australia.

The NFL is coming to Melbourne. And according to Charlotte Offord… this is just the starting point.

The Any Given Sunday Australia boys are back with Episode 8, and we’re wrapping up our divisional previews with the NFC West — and what a division to finish on.

With the Seahawks coming off a Super Bowl win, the Rams loading up on defence, the 49ers desperate to stay healthy and the Cardinals looking to find some answers, there are plenty of questions heading into the 2026 season.

We break down:

🏆 Can the Seahawks go back-to-back?
🩼 Can the 49ers finally stay healthy?
🔥 Are the Rams now Super Bowl or bust?
👀 Could Aaron Donald actually return?
💰 Is Brock Purdy worth the big contract?
📈 Will Carson Beck eventually take over in Arizona?
📊 Over or under on every NFC West team's win total
🌶️ Three VERY hot NFC West takes

And with the 49ers vs Rams Melbourne game just two weeks away, the boys get stuck into who they think will come out on top when the NFL hits Australia.

Plus, we finish with some completely unnecessary Packers, Eagles and Bills preseason chat… because apparently we can't stay on topic for more than five minutes. 😂

The NFC West is loaded. The Rams look terrifying. The Seahawks have a title to defend. The Niners are healthy-ish. And the Cardinals… well, they're here too.

🏈 PRE-SEASON BETTING SPECIAL PART 2: JUICE, ROUGHIES & PURE DEGENERACY

The Any Given Sunday Australia boys are back with Part 2 of our massive pre-season NFL betting special, powered by PointsBet — and this time, the bets get even juicier.

We’re diving deep into the season-long markets, picking our favourites, hunting for the ultimate roughies, and throwing in a few absolutely ridiculous long shots along the way.

Who takes out the passing yards crown? Can Joe Burrow stay healthy and lead the league? Is Dak Prescott actually the value play at $8.50? And is someone really brave enough to back Tua at $151?

We cover:

🔥 Most passing & rushing yards
🔥 Most passing, rushing & receiving touchdowns
🔥 Offensive Player of the Year contenders
🔥 Last winless team markets
🔥 Division winners & season records
🔥 Super Bowl matchups and winners
🔥 MVP markets
🔥 Plenty of ridiculous $50+ roughies
🔥 And the bets we're actually planning to ride all season

Plus, the boys reveal their favourite pre-season plays — including some serious love for the Bengals, Rams, Eagles, Bills, Packers and a few names you probably shouldn't be betting on.

And because apparently we haven't made enough bad decisions already, we're launching a season-long Any Given Sunday betting competition, with the boys going head-to-head against Jack and a few other NFL degenerates to see who can finish the season with the most money.

The NFL is nearly back. The bets are on. The roughies are flying.

🏈 NFL FUTURES ARE HERE — AND WE'RE CHASING THE ROUGHIES

The NFL season is almost here, which means it's time to put our money where our mouths are.

T-Mac and Danny are joined by Rock Hard Analyst Jack Rickard for a massive pre-season futures special, powered by PointsBet, as the boys run through the markets and pick their favourites, outsiders and absolutely cooked long shots.

We're talking MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Offensive & Defensive Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and Protector of the Year — with plenty of questionable logic, homer picks and juicy odds along the way.

Who are we backing?

🔥 Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow & Baker Mayfield for MVP
🔥 Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown & a $76 Devonta Smith long shot
🔥 Myles Garrett, Jalen Carter & Abdul Carter for DPOY
🔥 Carnell Tate, Jadarian Price & some seriously spicy OROY roughies
🔥 Aaron Donald's potential comeback
🔥 Dan Campbell, John Harbaugh & some sneaky Coach of the Year plays
🔥 And, of course, an Australian homegrown punt on Jordan Mailata

Plus plenty of NFL banter, terrible betting logic and the kind of selections that could either make us look like geniuses or absolute muppets by December.

The NFL is back. The futures are in. Let's get rich. 🤑🏈

Gamble responsibly. Odds discussed are subject to change.

🔥 THE AFC WEST IS WIDE OPEN!

Episode 7 of our NFL Divisional Preview series is here, and we’re heading west to break down one of the most unpredictable divisions in football.

Can Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs actually miss the playoffs? Is the Mahomes-Kelce era coming to an end? And could Justin Fields end up starting the season in Kansas City?

We debate whether Bo Nix and the Broncos can repeat their 14-win season, whether their defence is about to get figured out, and if Denver has what it takes to go all the way to the Super Bowl.

Then there’s the Chargers. Will the Mike McDaniel and Jim Harbaugh combination be football genius or an absolute disaster? Can Justin Herbert finally live up to the hype? And is Ladd McConkey about to explode?

And in Las Vegas, the big question is Kirk or Mendoza? How long can Kirk Cousins hold onto the job, and could rookie Geno... Mendoza finish the season as the Raiders' starting quarterback — and somehow become the Offensive Rookie of the Year?

Plus, we hit the AFC West over/under win totals, make our boldest predictions and unleash three seriously spicy hot takes.

🌶️ THE HOT TAKES:

• The Chiefs miss the playoffs
• The Broncos make the Super Bowl
• Mendoza finishes the season as a starting QB and becomes an Offensive Rookie of the Year contender

It's the AFC West. It's loaded. It's chaotic. And apparently, the Broncos are winning the Super Bowl.

The Division Preview series rolls on with what might be the NFL’s most fascinating division: the AFC North.

Can Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy recapture the magic in Pittsburgh, or is the Steelers’ reunion tour doomed from the start? Are Lamar Jackson and the Ravens one piece away from a Super Bowl run—or one injury away from disaster?
