On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing a few thoughts on Tom Brady following his 2-week hiatus from Tampa Bay Buccaneers training camp. Nobody knows exactly why he left the team, but most outsiders believe it was pre-planned as part of his return from retirement. Later, J-Mac does a unique thought exercise in which he picks dark horse winners for every division in the NFL. Anybody can pick the favorites but it takes a sharp gambler to tell you which underdogs can pay off big. Will the addition of Tyreek Hill and a re-tooled offensive line be enough for Tua Tagovailoa to get the Miami Dolphins back atop the AFC East? Is 2022 setting up to be a big bounce back season for Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens? Are Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars set up to become this year's team to go worst-to-first? Will the Denver Broncos or Los Angeles Chargers be able to end the Kansas City Chiefs' reign of terror in the AFC West? Can the new coaching staff in Minnesota unlock Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson and the Vikings offense? Do the New Orleans Saints have enough around Jameis Winston to upend the Bucs? Does anybody want to win the AFC East? Some of Jason's answers may surprise you!
