## Resource

JMark and co-host Miranda preview the AFC with one key question and one bet for every team, noting major coaching changes, roster moves, draft additions, and outlooks across each division. They discuss the Patriots’ ability to sustain momentum, the Bills’ playoff ceiling and Josh Allen’s passing-yard over, the Dolphins’ post-Tua/Tyreek reset, and Jets expectations with Geno Smith and a Garrett Wilson receiving-yard bet. In the North, they cover Ravens and Derrick Henry’s workload, Bengals concerns about Joe Burrow’s health, Steelers skepticism with Aaron Rodgers, and Browns quarterback doubts. They also hit AFC South futures led by a Colts division pick and a Colts/Jags top-two bet, Texans protection issues, and Titans’ Cam Ward development. They finish with the AFC West impacts, including Mahomes’ ACL timeline and the Chiefs under. The episode closes with a Rabbit Hole Dareringer bourbon and Old Fashioned tasting. 00:00 - Intro 03:06 - Drill Bit Injury Story 06:17 - AFC Format and Bourbon 09:30 - AFC East Patriots 13:05 - Bills Playoff Hump 15:21 - Dolphins Rebuild Talk 17:15 - Jets Geno Debate 22:31 - AFC North Ravens 25:17 - Bengals Burrow Health 27:54 - Steelers Rodgers Fade 31:21 - Browns QB Mess 33:15 - AFC South Colts Division Pick 34:13 - Jaguars and Top Two Bet 36:28 - Texans O Line Concerns 37:55 - Titans Cam Ward Step 38:57 - Titans Over Talk 39:14 - Lingo And Fortnite 41:50 - AFC West Chiefs 44:26 - Broncos Regression Bet 45:26 - Chargers Win Division 47:30 - Raiders QB Timeline 52:29 - Whiskey Time Dareringer 55:10 - Nose Taste And Scores 01:04:47 - Chartreuse And Wrap Up
