Summary

It's that sweet, sweet time of year again! Actual football games and entire season to preview. Lefkoe is splitting up his mega-season-preview into two conferences this year, so let's get going with some of the biggest names in the sport: Mahomes, Watson, Cam Newton, Philip Rivers, and more. While information is scarce these days, context and regression and past performance are not. Lefkoe puts them all together along with Producer Ingber to give you his 7 (yes that's right, SEVEN!) AFC playoff teams.

How you living? How you feeling? How you doing? It is the LEFKO E-MAN and today I'm joined by Mr. David Inber because it is Labor Day and we are breaking down the AFC and I meet my good buddy with me Inber.

0:15.0

It was a marathon last year and you told me I had to split it up this year.

0:19.0

Yeah, the world has changed since 2019 and it turns out people don't like three hours and 45 minute podcasts.

0:25.0

So we're split it up into two, almost two hour podcasts just getting it up to me shorter than that.

0:29.0

I think it will be a lot less and I think part of it I'll say is as I go through looking for information, guys it has never been harder to find information about an NFL season.

0:41.0

Before I could find injury information so centralized and now these teams are able to kind of, I don't want to say hide but I really don't know the status of a lot of these players.

0:54.0

I obviously relied heavily on my guy Warren Sharps book. I went through when I looked at my own death charts and just kind of my own notions about it and I do have some statistics and trends I think you can take something from but I'm going to be honest.

1:09.0

Compared to last year, man, it's so much tougher but I think that's also expected, right?

1:14.0

It's that thing of when you're keeping your kid out of school during COVID, the one solace that you have is that everyone else is dealing with the exact same situation.

1:22.0

So you feel like your, your AFC preview is needing something else? Well, every other media guy in the world is feeling that way as well.

1:29.0

When I also factor in we have no idea how a lack of home field advantage is going to impact these teams.

1:36.0

We really have no idea of any flare ups are going to happen. I know that I nailed the Ravens as the first seeing the AFC last year.

1:44.0

If I do that again this year, I mean pinch me because that will be incredible.

1:48.0

A few things I want to get off before we jump in division by division the AFC is a few of the overarching statistics that I like to use last year and just continuing them.

1:58.0

One thing that I mentioned last year, remember with second year quarterbacks in the jump that they make when you add in.

2:05.0

So this is before last season. Remember, the seven of those eight teams had better records in the year before.

2:11.0

The four teams that we included last year, Bill's Jets Ravens Browns, two went up, Josh Allen and the Bills, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

2:20.0

The Browns took a big step back with their new head coach, Freddie Kitchens and Baker Mayfield.

2:26.0

The Jets, they took a big step back last year with their new head coach, Adam Gase and I'm kind of wondering is there anything to that, the changing of the head coach.

2:35.0

So that record now is nine and 12 and there are five teams this year having a second year quarterback going into that year.

2:44.0

The Cardinals, Kyler Murray, the only team that has the same head coach play collar with their second year quarterback, Daniel Jones.

2:53.0

He now has our cool guy from Jason Garrett, the Clapper, Washington.
