Take the Shot w/ Zay and Teddy

We talk March Madness, updates on the NFL draft boards, and why isn't anyone talking about Jokic?

Football is over so we're on to everything else! NBA All Star weekend needs a major overhaul, anyone can win the national title this year in college basketball, and we've got some Premier League and UFC talk for y'all. Let's get it

We're back and we're talking about that s*** show performance from the Bills. How the Big10 has always been a 2 team race (but for the last time). Finally how awesome would it be to get the bag and not have to do anything?

Week 6 is in the books and as the famous Dennis Green said....They are who we thought they were!

Zay and Teddy break down who's in trouble so far this season and who is looking real prime for a super bowl run.

It's Week 6 NFL preview time! Zay breaks down his favorite games to watch this weekend and tries his best to be as unbiased as possible....(didn't work).

The Take the Shot duo is back to talk what happened in Week 4 and give a brief preview of some of our favorite Week 5 games.

Zay and Teddy discuss how in the world we had 3 epic collapses (and one almost collapse) over the past weekend and what to expect in Week 3 of the NFL season.

We're on to Week 2 of the NFL and there are 4 games that loom large early in the season. First the Buccaneers take on the Saints, will Brady finally get over his regular season slide and get a W against New Orleans? (0:58) Next is the Dolphins-Ravens game that will be a tale of 2 QBs, can Lamar Jackson fully carry the load against a staunch Miami defense, and can Tua prove he can beat a legitimate defense?

(8:35) And we conclude with our game of the week, Vikings-Eagles in a battle for who's arguably the best team in the NFC right now, can Kirk Cousins actually win in primetime? (12:55)

Zay and Teddy finish up their predictions for each division and come to the final conclusion of who will win Super Bowl LVII. Check out our first duo episode of the season as we set in stone how the 2022 season will play out.

After an early exit in the playoffs last year the Raiders have re-loaded and brought in some serious offensive firepower, is Derek Carr the one to lead them to the promise land?

The Chiefs bowed out in the AFC Championship last year but have lost some key pieces, do they have enough firepower to make another deep run?

After a dismal finish to the 2021 season will the Chargers double down on being choke artists? Or rise to the occasion with Justin Herbert and finally be as good as we think they should be.

Teddy gives his take on the reigning, defending, football champions of the worlddddddd LA Rams. No team has won back to back super bowls since the 2004 & 2005 Patriots, will the Rams be the next chosen one?

Teddy breaks down how the Cardinals are trying to improve after going out with a whimper in Kyler Murrays first playoff game, is Kliff Kingsbury on the hot seat now?

Zay discusses how the Seahawks will fare post Russell Wilson and why this whole fiasco needs to be put at the feet of Pete Carroll.

Zay basically talks about how the 49ers are always the bridesmaid but never the bride....and I heard they have this Trey Lance guy? 

Zay dives into what kind of noise the Vikings will make in the 2022 season and might actually pay Kirk Cousins a compliment or two....he's still trash though.

Teddy breaks down if the Bears have any chance of making a playoff run...or maybe they should start by getting above .500? With Justin Fields could it go either way?

Zay shares his thoughts on what the Detroit Lions will look like in the 2022 season and why Dan Campbell being a strong presence may be just what this team needs to shed the stink of losing over the past few years.

Teddy breaks down what we can expect from the Packers in the 2022 NFL season and if Aaron Rodgers can really keep his dominance in a division that's improved quite a bit from last year.
