So to kick things off for the 2018 NFL season, Matt and BFD (or BFD and I; I don’t know who the narrator is), will be previewing the AFC South (minus your Houston Texans; they’ll get their own episode next week).

Topics include Jacksonville’s possible pass defense regression, the doubling down of the Jaguars’ offense http://www.houstontexansteamonline.com/bruce-ellington-jersey , whether the Titans will be great at anything, if Marcus Mariota will make the jump, what to expect from Andrew Luck, whether Chris Ballard made a mistake by not spending money this offeason, and if BFD thinks the AFC South is actually goodnow.
