Chad Millman and Simon Hunter are very different people. Chad is a seasoned media executive and a founding force at the Action Network, where he serves as the Chief Content Officer. Simon Hunter is a professional sports bettor, who joined the Action Network to help Chad turn his football picks into winners. Together, these best friends are created podcast magic, and generated a top 2% entry in last year's national NFL pick 'em content.

This season, they are back in the saddle to churn out winning bets every week of the year. But first, they conclude their preseason division-by-division breakdowns across the AFC and NFC. Today's final installment is the AFC West, where Chad and Simon tackle the Chargers resurgence, the lack of Chiefs value, and some longshot bets on wily Raiders. And next week they return for Week 1 picks to kickoff the NFL season!

Every season, Chad Millman hates on the NFC South. He criticizes the lack of narrative. The lack of national appeal. He even complains about the forgettable helmets and logos of the NFC South teams. Even producing the Super Bowl winner cannot change his mind. So today is the perfect day for the content leader of the Action Network to be joined by his best friend and Action Network colleague Simon Hunter, so that our beloved professional sports betting companion can talk some sense into him. Together they break down where the value lies in this division, including a lot of love for Matt Ryan.
