It's season Eve.

We're here. We're here. I got my final fantasy football draft tonight, my, my high school one that I've won once, and the only time I won it, it's always on Yahoo. The only time I've ever won it was the one year that we did AOL back in like 2007 or eight.

So technically on the history of our league, it never happened. So it's the only, it's the one I care about the most. And yeah, I'm very, very excited for that. But I'm very excited for the season. I even wore a college shirt. Like, look at this. I'm ready to go. go i love this episode love throwing out these takes

throwing some names out there some bets out there this one of my favorite episodes we do i say that

about 40 of them but still it is season starting here we go doing our predictions today we're picking

award winners we're doing division winners we're picking our super bowl i had such a hard time we'll

talk about it when we get there.

But every year, I feel like I have a good sense by the end of it. It's like, yeah, this is my Super Bowl pick. And I feel decent about this. I did not feel that way this year. There are just so many different ways that you could go, even with some of the playoff teams, especially in the aFC we we'll get into all of that. So we're picking our winners for all the awards and our favorite bets for most of those awards as well. Just a long shot that we like for one reason or another. So we'll throw out both of those for pretty much every single relevant award. And then we also pick receiving champ, passing champion, and rushing champion as well well. We done that last year. And it's always fun. I can't wait to see who your version of Elijah Mitchell is this year for the Russian champion. But we will get into all of those. I can say that about Alvin Camara for you, right? Did I pick Alvin Camero last year? Yeah. Oh, God. I think it was our, it wasn't our real pick.

It was the bet pick. And I went, Eli, Mitchell. Because I pick Nick Chub for the real one. Yeah, and I did Alvin Camara. I think maybe I did Sequan. I think I did for mine, which yeah. Yeah, I don't want to get ahead of myself. But it's, yeah, but that was, yeah, no, we went Eli Mitchell and Alvin Camara.

It's probably best that we haven't revisited those.
