    Why the Texans and Jaguars Won’t Win the Super Bowl + No Huddle + 17-0 Challenge

    Spencer, James, and Dom continue their “Why Your Favorite Team Won’t Win the Super Bowl” series with the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars. They recap Houston’s 12–5 season, playoff win over Pittsburgh, and divisional loss after C.J. Stroud’s four first-half interceptions, then discuss offseason moves (offensive line overhaul with Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith, drafting Keylan Rutledge, trading for David Montgomery, adding Reed Blankenship) and concerns about protection, Stroud’s regression, limited weapons after Jayden Higgins’ torn ACL, and the tough AFC; predictions range from 12–5 division winner to 9–8. For Jacksonville, they cite a run-it-back offseason, key departures (Travis Etienne, Devin Lloyd, Andrew Wingard), a criticized draft, turnover and one-score-game regression risk, and doubts about Trevor Lawrence; projected around 9–8. In No Huddle, they cover Clemson missing the preseason AP Top 25, Trevor Ariza,), Heisman winners since 2017, and five NBA teams with only two national TV games. They also play two hard-mode all-time “17–0 challenge” drafts. 00:00 AFC South Kickoff 00:27 Texans Season Recap 02:03 Why Texans Fall Short 04:30 Defense Upgrades 05:14 Offense Concerns 06:55 Stroud Pressure 09:09 GM Decision Talk 11:24 Texans Predictions 13:40 Jaguars Outlook 14:46 Jags Weak Spots 16:39 Lawrence Under Fire 19:17 Jags Regression Signs 21:30 No Huddle Begins 21:43 Clemson Unranked 22:40 NBA Trade Trivia 25:04 Heisman Transfer Trend 28:26 Heisman Brain Freeze 29:23 Least Televised Teams 31:11 All Time 17-0 Draft 34:52 First Run Results 35:29 Run It Back Draft 40:09 Davis Mills Disaster 40:43 Show Wrap and Plugs What Do You Want to Hear Us Discuss?

    Kansas City Chiefs & Denver Broncos WON’T Win the Super Bowl in 2026 The AFC West is up for grabs, but are the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos actually capable of winning the Super Bowl in 2026?

We start with the Kansas City Chiefs, discussing Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, Kenneth Walker, the Chiefs' lack of a true WR1, and whether Kansas City's Super Bowl window is finally beginning to close. Then we break down the Denver Broncos, who are coming off a 14-3 season and an AFC Championship Game appearance. We discuss Bo Nix, Sean Payton, Jaylen Waddle, Denver's decision to run it back, and whether the Broncos can repeat the magic that helped them reach the AFC Championship last season. We also make our 2026 NFL season predictions, including projected records and playoff expectations for both teams. Then it's time for No Huddle, featuring the Raiders' decision between Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza, our predictions for the first NFL head coach to be fired in 2026, a million-dollar NFL challenge, and some NFL and NBA trivia to close things out. 00:00 Golf Trip Debate 03:07 Kansas City Chiefs: 2026 Super Bowl Outlook 13:15 Denver Broncos Breakdown + No Huddle 26:13 First NFL Coach Fired Predictions 33:31 The Million Dollar NFL Challenge 37:52 No Huddle Trivia & NBA Wrap-Up Do you agree with our Chiefs and Broncos predictions?
