Are the Bengals the best bet to win the AFC with a revamped defense finally supporting Joe Burrow? Aaron Rodgers confirms this is his final season and the Steelers are stuck in a loop of mediocrity with no clear path forward — can Mike McCarthy save them? And Grant and Tanner predict the Patriots are about to regress after their Super Bowl run with a brutal schedule and an underwhelming draft working against them. Full episode.

BENGALS — THE BEST BET IN THE AFC

Burrow is healthy. Chase is the best receiver in football. Higgins is back. And the defense finally got real investment this offseason. Grant and Tanner make the full case for why Cincinnati might be the most dangerous and most undervalued team in the AFC heading into 2026 — and whether the market is sleeping on the Bengals as the best championship bet on the board.

RODGERS' FAREWELL AND THE STEELERS' PROBLEM

Rodgers confirmed this is his final season. Pittsburgh is exactly where they have been for years — good enough to make the playoffs, not good enough to win in them. Mike McCarthy is the new head coach reuniting with Rodgers for one last ride. Grant and Tanner break down whether McCarthy changes anything, what Pittsburgh does at quarterback when Rodgers walks away, and why the Steelers' future is cloudier than anyone wants to admit.

PATRIOTS REGRESSION IS COMING

Super Bowl run. Brutal 2026 schedule. Underwhelming draft. Grant and Tanner predict New England is about to come back to earth and explain exactly why — the variance that fueled last year's run, the roster gaps that still exist, and the schedule that makes a repeat performance nearly impossible to project.
