The NFL returns a week from today, so the BallKnowers had to convene to talk ball and draft their teams for the upcoming season. Tron, Randy, KVV and Mr. Poosh go through some big questions around the league as we approach the season before getting into the draft.

1 point for each regular season win (0.5 points for a tie)

2 points for making the playoffs

2 points for making the Divisional round

3 points for making the Conference championship

4 points for making the Super Bowl

2 points for winning the Super Bowl

Let us know what the loser should have to do for punishment this year. Enjoy!
