The NFL is back in full swing, and so our good buddy Andy Behrens returns to the pod along with his cohort Chris Harris. We’re looking at analytics, and how fantasy football butts up against football reality. When does the math go too far? Is it even possible to pick a team so safe they’re immune to a single dude tripping and falling? We’ll check in with Andy’s Bears, Chris’s Pats, and Roth’s Giants, and a few other stand-out teams from this week’s matchups (even some college teams), and then dive into the Funbag to answer real questions from listeners.Do you want to hear your question answered on the pod?
