Football season has arrived, and we're kicking things off with a special guest! My wife Darby joins the podcast, bringing her credentials as a five-time fantasy football champion and reigning league winner to our NFL season preview. Though she doesn't consider herself a gambler, her player knowledge and football insights prove invaluable as we break down each NFL division.

The conversation takes several fascinating turns, from Bill Belichick's embarrassing collegiate coaching debut to the controversial Micah Parsons trade that has Cowboys fans fuming. Jerry Jones lands squarely on our "Stay Frosty" hot seat list for his handling of the situation, with Darby providing damning statistics about Dallas's playoff drought and questionable front office decisions.

Our division-by-division breakdown reveals several betting opportunities where oddsmakers might have it wrong. We both agree the Commanders at +210 represent excellent value in the NFC East, while disagreeing on whether the Packers' acquisition of Micah Parsons makes them favorites in the North. When examining long-shot Super Bowl contenders, the Steelers at 45-1 emerge as an intriguing option with Aaron Rodgers potentially revitalizing the franchise.

The episode culminates with our complete Week 1 picks against the spread, where we find surprising consensus on most matchups, including taking the Eagles over Cowboys in Thursday's opener and the Chiefs over Chargers in Friday's Brazil game. Our locks of the week feature the Buccaneers (-2) against rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and the Lions (+1.5) to upset the Packers at Lambeau.

Whether you're building your betting card for the weekend or simply preparing for fantasy football matchups, this comprehensive NFL preview provides the perfect foundation for the season ahead.
