Summary
The Bills hang on for a win over the Buccaneers and Colin labels this "separation week" in the NFL as the top teams pull away from the lesser teams. He gives you his thoughts on Damian Lillard's debut with the Bucks and why he is exactly what Giannis and Milwaukee need to get back in championship contention. Colin gives you his Blazing 5 NFL picks for week 8. Plus, 3-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman joins the show in studio to give his assessment of the inconsistent Bills offense.
