## Resource

First Take begins with Fernando Mendoza's poor pre-season performance. Does this change our view on Mendoza? How long will the Raiders start Kirk Cousins? Then a deep dive into UNC's schedule. How many wins is realistic for them this year? Will it be enough for Bill Belichick to keep his job? Next the crew discusses which offenses are harder to defend: AFC or NFC.
