This is an I-Heart podcast.

The Around the NFL podcast is no match for football baby.

Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast.

My name is Dan Hansis and I'm joined by a room filled with some heroes.

Chris Wessling and Greg Rosenthal. What up, boys?

Hey, Dan. What's happening? No Sessler again. He is in the desert. And I don't know what's going on.

I actually didn't have a chance to talk to Mark right before he left and never asked any questions.

And then he's texting me a couple times over the last day or so,

and I've never followed up with him like, oh, what are you doing out there?

All I know is that he's in the middle of the desert.

He's in a hole in the desert.

He's with his family.

Can't be getting into too much trouble with a couple little boys around.

This is what it sounds like in the desert right now. Although I can kind of imagine the boys go to sleep and then Sessler just wandering in the desert, maybe making sounds like that wolf. Drinking some of Grandpa's cough medicine, I bet as well.

It's a safe bet. Yeah. So, this is our big, big week nine preview show where we get into all

the games on Sunday. We got a nice slate of games. A lot of tough games to pick.

I thought, Wes, you didn't feel the same way,

but I feel like we have a lot of evenly matched teams going against each other.

But I guess that's the NFL in general in most weeks.

We're about 400, 4 and 3 teams right now.

I had special insight this week.

No, for more.
