Well, technically this is Episode 48, but due to technical difficulties our original NFL Preview never quite got off the ground. But the Butcher Shop was determined to give you an NFL Preview even if we were down a host, Jason Lamb.

We welcome our NFL Expert, Ryan Early, to discuss one of our favorite weeks of the year, NFL’s opening weekend. Ryan gives us his take on what teams surprised or disappointed and if he thinks there were any indications from the first week that you should hang your hat on.

Ryan also gives us his Power 5 and somehow the Raiders have already made their way onto that list even if their secondary got lit up like a roman candle.

 

Is Jimmy Garappolo already a better quarterback than half of the other players plying their trade at the position or is he just the beneficiary of the evil genius of Bill Belichick?

Do teams like the Cardinals and the Jaguars have reason to fret after disappointing home losses in week one or will they quickly right their ships?

Finally, are the Niners for real or did they just catch the Rams sleeping?

All that and more!
