Welcome to Football: A Podcast

We were blessed by the football Gods with an incredible slate of Week 1 games. Matt and Bill discuss the week that was and the week to come in the NFL.

We're all on the Cardinals, Saints, Bills, Rams and Broncos. Matt, after missing out on taking the Texans last week, goes rogue calling for a Houston upset. Bill revels in his betting prowess despite not actually gambling.

Welcome to Football: A Podcast

We finally get to discuss actual football games! 

You can hear the excitement in our voices as we provide thoughts on each Week 1 matchup. 

-- We're all about the Browns this week. They may not win outright but all three of us believe Cleveland will cover.

-- In our estimation, Arizona vs. Tennessee and Los Angeles vs. Washington are two of the most interesting matchups of the week. 

-- Denver and Minnesota are locks to win and cover

-- We put Baltimore on upset alert. 

We sprinkle betting, DFS, Fantasy and even marriage advice among our analysis.

Welcome to Football: A Podcast.

News Flash: We have a website -- footballapodcast.com. We post the long-form analysis that we can't fit into our episodes on The Post Show page.

We've completed our divisional previews for the 2021 season. 

Turns out that we saved our most controversial episode for last. Zack has the Bears winning four games; Bill has the Vikings neck-and-neck with the Vikings for the NFC North Crown; Matt is going all-in with Justin Fields. 

All hell will break loose in the division this year.
