This week, we got straight into the biggest debates as the NLL season is officially live! We reveal our full **NLL predictions**, splitting the league into contenders (like Buffalo and Vancouver), those in the playoff hunt, and the bottom dwellers. Neil explains why I think the **Colorado Mammoth** are being severely underestimated. We hit on the biggest surprises from the final roster cuts, including the **Bandits' creative loophole** to keep Ryan Benesch, the retirement of **Kobe Smith**, and the cutting of former NFL player **Casey Rogers**. Plus, we debate why the **NLL schedule is broken** and make our final calls for MVP and Rookie of the Year.
