For the first and only time all year, there will be FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS of football.Will all my friends stop talking to me when they find out I canceled our weekend plans to watch preseason football? Probably, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.The preseason fun starts tonight with the traveling to Philadelphia (7:30 p.m. ET, NFLN). This should be an exciting game and that's mostly because not only will we get to see the continued QB battle between and , but we'll also get to see get some serious playing time for the . I will put my 1-0 preseason picking record on the line by taking New England to win 20-17.After tonight, there will be two games on Friday, followed by 10 games on Saturday, two games on Sunday and one game on Monday. Again, that's FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS. That's enough preseason talk for now though, let's get to the rundown where we'll take a look at the new throwback uniform and we'll also unveil our All-NFC team.

For today's show, Will Brinson was joined by R.J. White of SportsLine.com and the two took a deep dive into the AFC and NFC South. Using analytical data, the two made predictions on the win totals for each team in both divisions and they also tried to figure out how each division will play out.AFC SOUTHIn the AFC South, R.J. is all over the . has an over/under of 9.5 and White is going to pound the over and he doesn't care whether the have or not. "I would take the over either way," White said. "I liked it already. I thought the Titans were going to win 11 games or so when we knew Carson Wentz was healthy. If Wentz mi ses one of their matchups, then I give them 12. We'll see if that makes a big difference, but I would take them either way."The Colts and Titans play each other in Week 3, so there's definitely a chance that Wentz could mi s the game. Although the Robert Griffin III Jersey Colts are optimistic that he'll be back on the field sooner rather than later -- and there's even a chance he could be ready for the opener -- he could mi s the first month of the season if he comes back just halfway through that five to 12 week recovery timeline he was given a few weeks ago (If he's out the full 12 weeks, he wouldn't return until Week 8).NFC SOUTHAs for the NFC South, White is high on the , despite the lo s of Drew Brees. White thinks gives them a better chance to win NFL Baltimore Ravens Jersey this year than and if Winston is the starter, White thinks the Saints will go over/under total of nine wins. "Yea, Brees is gone, but his absence didn't slow the Saints down the past couple of years," White said. "They went 8-1 with backup quarterbacks over the past two seasons . They have an excellent offensive line. They had an excellent defense last year -- they lost a few pieces -- but have players like , , , that keeps their floor high, so they're not going to fall apart on defense. I think you're really betting on Sean Payton here.... He should be able to get to 10 wins with this roster."How do Brinson and White feel about the other NFC South teams?

There's a lot of opportunities for growth and exciting things in Green Bay and that felt like the right thing to do."Also, he gets to wear those sweet new throwback uniforms and I'm not saying that's why he came back, but getting a chance to wear an awesome new uniform would definitely be enough to lure me back.
