In this episode, we talk about:
* Explain why the 4-time champ Bucs could win 11-12 games with a top-10 QB (?) Baker Mayfield.
* The consensus second-place Falcons have a great offense, but their success hinges on the development of their weak pass rush.
* Carolina is rebuilding around QB Bryce Young with big-potential targets, but will their defense improve with offseason spending?
* On to 2026? The Saints are in a complete rebuild with a new coach, an aging roster, and a rookie quarterback.
