The Buffalo Bills over the last few seasons have come extremely close to making the Super Bowl. Could this finally be the year that the Bills finally win the Super Bowl this NFL season? Last season was a disaster for the Florida Gators causing them to fire Dan Mullen and hire new Head Coach Billy Napier. Florida does return a good amount of talent on both offense and defense including Quarterback Anthony Richardson. JT Sports discusses how good will the Florida Gators be this College Football season in 2022. With Texas and Oklahoma set to depart for the SEC, the BIG 12 expanding their conference adding BYU, Houston, UCF, and Cincinnati. By adding these teams JT Sports feels the BIG 12 just became a better conference overall adding more depth and Houston plus UCF have immense potential to become powerhouse programs. How good will the BIG 12 conference be in comparison to other conferences in College Football? The San Francisco 49ers are coming off an NFC Championship appearance in 2021, but many NFL fans an

Mississippi State Football went 7-6 in 2021 in their third season under Mike Leach. Going into the 2022 College Football season Mississippi State might be flying under the radar in a very crowded SEC West. They return QB Will Rogers and are very talented on defense with tons of depth. JT Sports feels that Mississippi State could surprise many people this year.  Chip Kelly was under a lot of pressure last season and he delivered leading UCLA to an 8-4 record including going 6-3 in the PAC-12. Many College Football fans expect the PAC-12 to come down to USC and Utah but could the Bruins play spoiler with 5th year QB Dorian Thompson Robinson returning for one last season? How good will UCLA Football be in 2022?  The Utah Utes are the reigning PAC-12 Champions. Coming off there first ever PAC-12 Championship the Utes are looking to repeat this College Football season, but with USC coming off a great off-season is Utah being overlooked? Are people sleeping on a program coming off a 10-win season with 1

DeSean Jackson recently appeared on the I AM ATHLETE Podcast and claimed he was the best deep threat in NFL history, even better than Randy Moss. Is DeSean Jackson delusional or does he have an actual case for being the NFL's greatest deep threat of all time? With the loss of Sean Peyton will the New Orleans Saints offense regress this season? The New Orleans offense was one of the worst in the NFL last year, having a lackluster wide receiver group and losing starting QB Jameis Winston. He led the Saints to a 5-2 before suffering a season-ending injury, forcing them to play several Quarterbacks such as Ian Book, Taysom Hill, and Trevor Simeon. Dennis Allen brings back longtime offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael but how good will the New Orleans Saints offense be with him calling plays in 2022? The Broncos hired Nathaniel Hackett as their new Head Coach replacing Vic Fangio. Hackett has been tabbed as a great players coach and locker room leader and has been the Green Bay Packers OC since 2019. The Denver

After having the NFL’s best defense in 2021 the Buffalo Bills defense is looking for an encore performance in 2022. The Bills signed star pass rusher Von Miller to a mega-deal during NFL Free Agency and also drafted Kaiir Elam in this past year's NFL Draft. Gregory Rousseau had a solid rookie season and could have a breakout year. JT Sports gives his thoughts on how good the Buffalo Bills defense will be in 2022. The Las Vegas Raiders haven’t had a great defense in a very long time. However last season the Raiders defense stepped up in the last part of the year when Las Vegas made their late-season playoff push. This off-season the Las Vegas Raiders signed star pass rusher Chandler Jones to pair up with Maxx Crosby and also added DC Patrick Graham. With a revamped defensive line and cornerback group, this could be the most talented defense the Raiders have had in over a decade. JT Sports discusses how good will the Las Vegas Raiders defense be in 2022. The Baltimore Ravens got a steal when they drafted Kyle

Buffalo had one of the NFL's best offenses in 2021, but with the loss of OC Brian Daboll, Ken Dorsey will take over the reins as play-caller. Josh Allen was one of the best QB's in the league last year and carried the load for the Bills offense and should do the same this season with WR Stefon Diggs coming off another fantastic season and Gabriel Davis looking poised for a breakout year. One question mark surrounding the Buffalo Bills offense will be how effective will the running game be? Devin Singletary was inconsistent and Zach Moss wasn't that better, Buffalo did however draft James Cook in the 2022 NFL Draft and it will be interesting to see what his role will be. JT Sports discusses how good will the Buffalo Bills offense be in 2022. The New York Jets defense was the worse in the NFL last year, ranking last in almost every statistical category. Over the off-season, the Jets have improved at several positions such as CB drafting Sauce Gardner and singing DJ Reed in Free Agency. They also drafted Jermai

The New England Patriots defense was really good last year ranking in the top 10 in several statistical categories. The Patriots defense however struggled against the run as they had the 24th ranked run defense last season. New England's defense was also slow and needed to add speed over this off-season to better matchup with teams that have a dual-threat QBs and teams that can stretch the field vertically. What adjustments will Bill Belichick and DC Steve Belichick make to improve their run defense this season? JT Sports discusses how good the New England Patriots defense will be in 2022. The Dolphins defense got off to a slow start last year but turned it around during the middle of the season and became one the best units over the second half of the 2021 NFL season. With the firing of Brian Flores and the hiring of new HC Mike McDaniel will the Miami Dolphins defense take a step back this year? McDaniel retained DC Josh Boyer but how much was he responsible for the success Miami had on defense last year w

Clemson Football is looking to bounce following 10-3 season, where the Tigers missed the College Football Playoffs for the first time in seven years. Despite a down year, Clemson HC Dabo Sweeney led the program to their 11th straight 10-win season. They did however lose both of their coordinators in OC Tony Elliot and DC Brent Venables and promote Brandon Streeter and Wes Goodwin to replace them, but will they be good enough? Will Clemson return to the National Championship conversation or was last season the start of the fall of Dabo Sweeney and the Clemson Tigers Football program? Trey Lance has big expectations going into the 2022 NFL season after being drafted third overall in the 2021 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers after they traded up several spots to draft him. Many people have mixed feelings about how he will perform this season with some saying he'll be bust and others thinking that Trey Lance will live up to the hype. JT Sports thinks Trey Lance will have a breakout season for the 49ers as he

Arkansas was one of the biggest stories in College Football in 2021, in year two under Sam Pittman the Razorbacks finished with a 9-4 record and an Outback Bowl victory against Penn State. Going into the 2022 College Football season the Arkansas Football program looks to replicate the success they had last year with KJ Jefferson returning at QB the Razorbacks' season will rest heavily on his shoulders along with RB's Raheim Sanders and Dominique Johnson and Oklahoma transfer Jadon Hassellwood looks to fill the void left at WR with the departure of Treylon Burks. JT Sports gives his thoughts on how good Arkansas will be this season and how they'll fare in a loaded SEC West. The Cincinnati Bengals offense was one of the best in the NFL last season despite having the worse offensive line in the league. However, this year, the Bengals revamped their offensive line bringing in Center Ted Karras, Offensive Guard Alex Cappa, and Offensive Tackle La'el Collins to go along with Jonah Williams and Carmen Jackson. The

The Tennesse Titans went 12-5 last season, clinching the one seed in the AFC before losing to the Bengals in the Divisional Round. After trading away star WR AJ Brown to Philadelphia and suffering a couple of losses on the offensive line many NFL fans feel Tennesse will miss the playoffs in 2022. JT Sports gives his thoughts on the Titans current roster and how good are there playoff chances going into the 2022 NFL season. The Dolphins made a lot of moves to improve the offense this off-season. Trading for star WR Tyreek Hill pairing him with fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle couple with singing Cedrick Wilson and star LT Terron Armstead in Free Agency. JT Sports feels the Miami Dolphins have done a phenomenal job building around young QB Tua Tagovailoa and with the hiring of Mike McDaniel this offense could explode this NFL season. Baltimore suffered a lot of injuries last season, especially on the offensive side of the ball. However, the Ravens traded away Marquise Hollywood Brown to Arizona and many fans are

New hope has been injected into the Miami Hurricanes Football program with the hiring of Mario Cristobal. Miami hasn't been relevant in the College Football Championship picture in two decades, but with Cristobal at the helm could that change?  Since joining the ACC the Canes have only appeared in one ACC Championship that being 2017 where they lost to Clemson 38-3. Going into the 2022 College Football season, however, JT Sports feels the Miami Hurricanes have a great shot at winning the ACC this year with a great coaching staff that has Broyles Award winner Josh Gattis as OC and CO-DCs Charlie Strong and Kevin Steele along with having star QB Tyler Van Dyke and a talented roster this could finally be the year the Miami Hurricanes win their first-ever ACC Championship. The Volunteers finished the 2021 College Football Season with a 7-6 record and the program looks to be trending in the right direction under second-year HC Josh Heupel. With QB Hendon Hooker returning under center as a dark horse Heisman

The Cincinnati Bengals placed the franchise tag on star FS Jessie Bates, however, he hasn't signed the tag and per reports, he has no intentions of participating in OTA's and Training Camp until he gets a long-term deal. The Bengals and Bates have until July 15th to come to an agreement which is the deadline for teams to reach agreements with their franchise-tagged players. Will Cincinnati be able to extend their star safety? Will Jessie Bates be traded before the season or could he potentially sit out the 2022 NFL season? Many people have concerns about the New England Patriots offense going into the upcoming season, with long-time OC Josh McDaniels departing for the HC job in Las Vegas the Patriots have yet to name his replacement. Coming off a great rookie season the Patriots are expecting QB Mac Jones to take a big leap in his second season, and his play will be a large factor in how well the New England offense will perform and how successful the team will be overall. Last season was Steelers OC Matt C

The New England Patriots didn't make many moves in Free Agency this off-season compared to last year. One signing that has gone overlooked was bringing in former first-round pick Jabrill Peppers who was drafted 25th overall by the Browns in the 2017 NFL Draft. Peppers praised for his versatility and play-making coming out of Michigan hasn't been the player many had hoped when he was first drafted. He was traded by the Browns to the Giants in the OBJ trade and he wasn't bad during his time with New York but struggled to stay healthy tearing his ACL last season in October which effectively ended his season. With the Patriots Jabrill Peppers is a perfect fit for New Englands defense as they love having versatile players that can play multiple positions and with his skill set, he could be really productive this year if he can stay on the field and avoid injuries. The Raiders offense was decent last year despite having poor offensive line play they were able to do enough to make the post-season due to good play f

The Longhorns had a disappointing 2021 season in Year one under Steve Sarkisian finishing with a 5-7 record, not making a bowl game, and not having a single player drafted in the 2022 NFL Draft. Going into the 2022 College Football season there is a lot of optimism bringing in a top-five recruiting class and landing several big-time transfers such as former Ohio State QB Quinn Ewers, WRs Isaiah Neyor, Agiye Hall along with TE Jahleel Billingsley, and CB Ryan Watts. Texas looks for significant improvement this season with the expectation that Quinn Ewers wins the starting QB job and lives up to the hype he had coming out of high school being tabbed as one of the greatest QB recruits ever. The Texas  Longhorns have plenty of playmakers on offense but will the defense step up? Fans of the Texas Football program are starving for a season worth cheering for, is 2022 the season that Texas will be back? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jtsports/support

The Las Vegas Raiders traded WR Bryan Edwards and a 2023 7th Round Pick to the Falcons in exchange for a 2023 5th Round Pick. Edwards was a third-round selection by the Raiders in 2020, he didn't play much his rookie season due to injuries and last season in 2021 he caught 34 receptions for 571 yards and 3 Touchdowns. With the hiring of new HC Josh McDaniels, it was hard seeing Bryan Edwards having much of a role in the offense so by being traded to Atlanta Edwards has the chance to make an immediate impact. The Atlanta Falcons add another big body WR to go along with Drake London and Auden Tate. In 2021 New Orleans finished with a 9-8 record barely missing out on the postseason despite having many injuries to several starters including starting QB Jameis Winston who returns this season. Sean Payton recently announced his retirement and Dennis Allen will take over as the Saints new HC retaining almost the entire coaching staff. The Saints despite losing Marcus Williams and Terron Armstead still improved by u

After trading away Russell Wilson to Denver, the Seahawks have yet to announce his replacement. Seattle currently has Drew Lock, Geno Smith, Jacob Eason, and Levi Wallace in their QB room. The main two guys in the mix for the starting Quarterback job are Drew Lock and Geno Smith, which one will be the starting QB for the Seattle Seahawks this upcoming NFL season? The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Mitchell Trubisky on day 1 of NFL Free Agency and a few months later drafted rookie QB Kenny Pickett in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Trubisky brings veteran experience to the Steelers Quarterback room while Pickett stays in the local Pittsburgh area after playing his college ball at Pitt which shares the same facilities as the Steelers. JT Sports gives his thoughts on who he believes will be the starting QB for the Steelers this season. The Houston Texans hired Lovie Smith to become their next Head Coach in a surprising move after parting ways with David Culley after a 4-13 season. Lovie Smith has decades' wor

As we enter the final stage of the NFL offseason JT Sports and The Juice Alert rank their 5 most improved teams heading into the 2022 season. Teams like the Dolphins, Jets, and Broncos all made big improvements during the offseason but will they make the list? Colin Kaepernick before he became a big name for his activism off the field,he was the starting QB of the San Francisco 49ers at one point leading them to a Super Bowl and two NFC Championship games, but just how good was Colin Kaepernick honestly? Was Kaepernick good, average, or bad? JT Sports and The Juice Alert give their thoughts on Colin Kaepernick's NFL career and discuss his performance.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jtsports/support

Last season Packers QB Aaron Rodgers took home the NFL MVP award for the second consecutive year. JT Sports and Juice Alert discuss potential candidates and give their predictions for who will win NFL MVP this season. Houston Texans QB Davis Mills heads into his second NFL season after a surprisingly successful rookie season. Despite last season's success Davis Mills still has a lot to prove to the Texans organization that he is indeed their franchise QB. Will Mills cement himself as the long-term option at QB for the Houston Texans? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jtsports/support

The Cincinnati Bengals shocked the entire NFL world when they won the AFC North and made it to the Super Bowl where they lost 23-20 to the Rams. Can the Bengals repeat their 2021 success, or will they prove critics right that last season was a fluke? The Carolina Panthers drafted Matt Corral in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. JT Sports explains why he feels the Panthers starting QB should be Matt Corral instead of Sam Darnold. After firing Brian Flores the Miami Dolphins hired 49ers, offensive coordinator Mike McDaniels as their new Head Coach. JT Sports gives his first-year expectations for McDaniels and the Dolphins. Spencer Rattler transferred to South Carolina after the 2021 College Football season following a disappointing season with Oklahoma.

Mario Cristobal and Billy Napier were brought to the sunshine state with Cristobal being hired by the Miami Hurricanes and Napier getting hired by the Florida Gators. Both coaches have impressive resumes and did a great job with their previous programs but which Head Coach will have more success in year one with their new programs? JT Sports feels the Pittsburgh Steelers are being slept on once again. The Steelers had a very good off-season addressing several needs on the offensive side of the ball like WR and OL and also improving on the defensive side as well signing CB Levi Wallace and LB Myles Jack via Free Agency. Pittsburgh also found their franchise QB by drafting Kenny Pickett 20th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. The Steelers are playing in the AFC North one of the toughest divisions in the NFL this season with many pundits projecting Pittsburgh to finish in last place behind the Ravens, Bengals, and Browns. JT Sports explains why you shouldn't sleep on the Pittsburgh Steelers this season. Hendon Hooke
