Summary

And, more specifically, the back half of the Elite Eight, but the Elite Eight nonetheless. Conor and Gary delve into the NFL’s borderline elite teams heading into the 2022 season.

Once again, we will not reveal who the teams are in this episode description, but we will provide these clues from our conversations:

Team 8: Either the most exciting debut in football or the soon-to-be most disappointing debut in football.

Team 7: A Pythagorean Win projection of nearly 16 games! But that’s after losing one of their most valuable non-quarterbacks, and having a quarterback who may or may not want to be there.

Team 6: What happens if the big plays go away?

First of Two Team 4’s: The NFL’s best team on paper, probably.

Come back every Monday for the next four teams in the countdown.
