Joe Fortenbaugh joins the show for his annual summer appearance, right on schedule.
He and Kevin Clark talk NFL futures, MVP bets, Super Bowl longshots, and the teams we're fading heading into the season. Joe explains why he's betting against the Jaguars and Patriots and why he can't quit the Chargers.
Kevin makes the case for Matthew Stafford and Drake Maye MVP tickets, the Vikings as a sneaky Super Bowl play, and Jeremiah Smith as a surprising No. 1 overall pick candidate in the 2027 NFL Draft.
