Summary
In this Best Of The Herd, Colin zeroes in on several NFL teams that have must-win games in Week 1. Plus, Colin examines how Denver head coach Sean Payton must mold quarterback Russell Wilson to fit Payton's offense. Also, Colin has some career and life advice for Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield. And Colin ponders why so little is expected from the Los Angeles Rams in 2023. Later, FOX Sports MLB analyst Tom Verducci joins The Herd to talk Justin Verlander's longevity and dominance, the exorbitant cost of Shohei Ohtani, the underachieving Yankees, and more! Finally, now that it is August, Colin takes a deep dive into some NFL Playoffs predictions.

Like something's happening every single day here with the NFL. I love this. I love this August. Well, we live in a more distracted time than we ever have. Our phones have a lot to do with it.
