Summary
Matt Jones and Drew Franklin get prepared for NFL Week 1 and have watched more preseason games then they usually have in the past! Matt explains why he won't be playing fantasy football this season. Is there any chance we see an opening night upset from the Cowboys over the Eagles? The Friday game overseas is always a bit of a wildcard, so you never know what will happen! Could Taylor Swift be the halftime show at the Super Bowl?
Ravens/Bills on Sunday Night Football could be the best game of the week! Matt ranks the remaining games in Week 1 in order that he'd like to watch them. Matt and Billy explain how they'll be watching all of the games. Matt explains why he's all in on the Jets. Is the NFL headed to an 18 game schedule to even up the home and away schedules?
Matt talks about revamping a sports bar he's part of and how meals get voided. Back to the Week 1 schedule with the remaining games. Don't you want your QB to be handsome? Matt believes in the Bears season, but how does he feel about the home opener on Monday Night Football?
Matt and Drew give their OFFICIAL Playoff picks! We wrap up with 'Survivor Picks' and they're 'Anytime TD Scorers'!
