Today, Will and Nick kick off the show with a surprise quiz! How well did you do? (Spoiler Alert: probably better than Will did.)

Next, Hall of Famer Cris Carter joins the show! He tells the guys about his podcast "WR1," and shares his greatest personal upset.

Then we jump into this week's Top Dogs, and preview: Chiefs @ Eagles, Panthers @ Cowboys, Cardinals @ Rams, and Raiders @ Chargers. Check out why Cris says Sean McVay reminded him of Bill Belichick last week, and hear who he thinks is the best speed player in the game.

To wrap things up, we pick our Underdogs of the Week and Favorite Picks. Finally, Nick asks Cris - is "diva" an accurate term to describe wide receivers?

Today we're premiering our "Underdog Tales" series, in which we'll be presenting audio narratives detailing some of the greatest upsets in the history of sports.

For our first installment, we're bringing you the story of Joe Namath and the 1968 Jets.

After years of struggling for success, the Jets finally found a spark when they drafted Joe Namath out of the University of Alabama in 1965.

By the time 1968 rolled around, the scrappy AFL squad was finally ready to contend with the best of the NFL: The Don Shula-led Baltimore Colts. We'll highlight some of the greatest games and most pivotal moments in a spectacular season like no other, culminating in the thrilling matchup now known as Super Bowl III.

Listen in to hear how it all went down.
