S10E01: Dare to Dream (Week 1 Preview)

All Four Quarters

The wait is finally over – AFQ Season 10 is here! (And, coincidentally, the new NFL season is here too.) We put our prophesizing hats on and cast our gaze towards the coming season, to let you know who’s going to live up to the hype and who’s about to crash and burn. Is this the season Garrett Wilson rises to full-on superstar status? Has the Jim Harbaugh hype reached unsustainably nauseating levels? And are we really about to witness a fairytale Detroit Lions Super Bowl-winning season? In catching up on all the pre-season news, we bid farewell to Big Dick Nick, discuss whether Brandon Aiyuk is worth ‘Top 5 WR’ money, and wonder if the NFL opening the door to private equity money is a poisoned chalice or simply a way to get cash injections into the poorer teams in the league. We finish by previewing the Week 1 action. We focus on a tasty opening game, as the dominant Chiefs begin their hunt for the three-peat against their bested AFC rivals the Baltimore Ravens; the first NFL game to take place in Brazil, as the Green Bay Packers seek to continue their late-season momentum against the ailing but still dangerous Philadelphia Eagles; and a rare Detroit-hosted Sunday Night Football game, where the Lions and Rams renew their simmering rivalry. All this and much, much more in your one-stop shop for news, views and overreactions to all things NFL, the All Four Quarters podcast!
