Cameron and Paul are joined by Scotland international and Edinburgh Rugby star Henry Prygos as we review our penultimate division, the AFC West.
We start with Henry and his Broncos as we wonder what the Broncos need to do to secure the best of the rest position as we're not sure there's any case for the Chiefs not winning it again. We look at Lock, the young wider receiver core as well as a dangerous running back committee. Henry also talks about the impacts of altitude and how significant it really is to play in.
It is then onto the Chargers, as we wonder what week Herbert needs to be up to speed and starting by for the Chargers to be that 2nd place contender. We talk about the dominant D and how important that is and wonder how this franchise can thrive in their new location and stadium.
We also focus in on the Raiders and Chiefs as we look at the opposite ends of the divisional talent scale. Cameron questions how many stars there are on the team, though we all agree that Carr is certainly capable, does he yet have the weapons for success? As for the Chiefs, we ask Henry what it's like to know you're up against Mahomes for the next 10 years potentially and we try to find a weakness in the Kansas City team.

Cameron and Gordon are joined by Buccaneers fan and Cricketer turned commentator, Charles Dagnall as well as some sour Saints fan called Paul Mitchell to preview the NFC South.
We start in Tamp as we ask Daggers if his Bucs can secure the Super Bowl. We cover the obvious upgrades in what appears to be one of the top offenses in 2020, but we also ask what the weaknesses and concerns are for the year head.
It is then onto the Saints, who are the clear dominators in the NFC South seem to have retained a high level of consistency while adding more talent. Dagger has a bold prediction about which player will come to the fore this year and we question if the recent post season sensations, if the Saints will be distracted by that going forward.
We also focus in on the Falcons and Panthers. Looking at which appears to be on the up and which is on the slide down. Everyone makes their predictions before Cameron doubles down on his Bucs burger bet and could find himself with a substantial beef debt come January!
