We dive right into our unfortunate picks (come on, Saints), discuss punctured lungs and Maria cancels the Vikings (but she’s ready to reconsider for a couple of million bucks). Oh, and she is fangirling about Cam Newton while Ksenia is trying to keep up. The episode is recorded during the storm and the bus strike, so nevermind us.

Maria is going lengths about why the Patriots will contend this year (while dragging Ksenia’s tired ass through the episode), the Washington football team’s big surprise, and Maria’s horrible taste in men (she doesn’t love you anymore, Dak). Oh, and Karen Brady.

In this episode, we are going to introduce ourselves and discuss our expectations for the season, whether Patrick Mahomes should kick his brother out, why the Packers will win the division and why Mitch Trubisky keeps finding his confidence again and again. Oh, and Sam Darnold. To the beginning of the NFL season! Cheers!
