The biggest debate centers on Las Vegas. Raider Greg goes full homer mode and guarantees the Raiders win the AFC West behind Kirk Cousins, rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, Ashton Jeanty, and Brock Bowers.

The crew breaks down Justin Herbert and the Chargers’ continued playoff struggles, key injuries, roster concerns, and whether Los Angeles can become a true Super Bowl contender.

Then there are the Denver Broncos and Sean Payton. Are the Broncos ready to take another step forward, or are they once again being overrated before the season begins?
