    NFL Week 1 Is HERE: Upset Picks, Dolphins-Raiders & Our Boldest Predictions

    The wait is over. NFL Week 1 is finally here, and the boys are breaking down the entire slate before heading to Las Vegas for the Miami Dolphins’ season opener against the Raiders. Zach Smacks, Papa Smacks and the crew go game by game with their Week 1 predictions, potential upsets and the matchups they’re watching closest. And when they get to Miami, things get interesting: could the new-look Dolphins actually shock the Raiders in Vegas? The guys are buying into the young talent, the new direction of the organization and what Malik Willis could bring to Miami. They also look beyond Week 1 and try to predict Miami’s entire season. Is this still a four- or five-win rebuilding team, or could the Dolphins surprise people early? And if Miami ends up with a top draft pick, should they stay committed to Malik Willis and target a player like Jeremiah Smith instead of another quarterback? Then the debates really start. Jeremiah Smith vs. Malachi Toney. Justin Herbert and the excuses surrounding his lack of playoff success. Whether Patrick Mahomes is still a top-five quarterback. And which NFL coaches and teams have the most to prove this season. The guys also jump into college football and a controversial Michigan–Western Michigan finish that sparks one of the biggest arguments of the episode. Was it a legitimate ending—or one of the worst calls they’ve ever seen? Football is back, the takes are already getting hot, and some of these predictions are either going to look brilliant or absolutely terrible by the end of the season. #NFL #NFLWeek1 #MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #Raiders #NFLPredictions #MalikWillis #JeremiahSmith #JustinHerbert #PatrickMahomes #CollegeFootball #FootballPodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Are the Miami Dolphins REALLY Rebuilding? Roster Cuts, New Faces & 2026 Expectations

    The NFL season is almost here, and the Miami Dolphins look almost nothing like the team fans have gotten used to. In this episode, Zach and the crew break down Miami’s revamped roster, the surprising cuts, waiver-wire additions and what this new regime is actually trying to build. With one of the youngest rosters in football and expectations much lower than previous seasons, is this a true rebuild—or could the Dolphins surprise people? They get into the quarterback situation, Miami’s preseason performance, the offensive line, the concerns in the secondary and which young players could emerge as legitimate difference-makers. After Miami added seven players through waivers, there are plenty of questions about just how much talent this roster currently has. The guys also react to the idea that this season’s success shouldn’t necessarily be measured by wins. Is that waving the white flag before Week 1, or is Miami finally being realistic about where the franchise stands? And it wouldn’t be the show without getting sidetracked. The conversation moves from Dolphins football to college football kicking off, Florida Panthers hockey, UFC underdogs, a possible Vegas trip—and somehow even how many times a day everyone showers. With Dolphins football right around the corner, the real question is simple: How many games does Miami actually win this year?

    NFL Hot Takes Get HEATED: Caleb Williams Over Jalen Hurts?! Chiefs MISS the Playoffs AGAIN?

    Zach Smacks is back in the studio with Kahari and special guest David, Head of Creator Acquisition at Winnable, for an episode packed with NFL predictions, heated quarterback debates, betting takes, and plenty of arguments that could look either brilliant or completely insane by the end of the season. David came ready with some BOLD predictions. After correctly calling the Chiefs missing the playoffs and Denver's breakout last season, he's doubling down: Kansas City misses the postseason AGAIN, the Chicago Bears could be left out, and the Minnesota Vikings could shock everyone by winning their division. Then things get heated when the conversation turns to Jalen Hurts and Caleb Williams. Would an Eagles fan actually trade Hurts for Caleb Williams right now? The answer leaves the entire room stunned and sparks a full debate over Hurts' passing ability, the talent surrounding him in Philadelphia, and why quarterbacks like Justin Herbert seem to get far less criticism despite having nowhere near Hurts' postseason success. The guys also unload on Deshaun Watson and his relationship with Browns fans before jumping into more NFL predictions. Is Joe Burrow approaching a make-or-break season in Cincinnati? Could the Texans MISS the playoffs? Is Jacksonville ready to take the AFC South? And Zach makes a prediction Dolphins fans may want to bookmark: Miami finishes 8-9. Plus, the NBA debate returns as the guys argue over expectations for the Miami Heat, where Giannis ranks against Jason Tatum, and whether Miami can legitimately finish as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. NFL season is here, the predictions are officially on record, and somebody at this table is going to have a LOT of explaining to do later.
