BillShare it. Yeah.

LoweYou guys are good. But this is what, anyway, I will say, I do think one of these teams toward the top seven is going to underperform because of injuries or randomness.

LoweThe safe pick is Orlando. I will say Orlando for now. I just have enough questions about their offense.

LoweAnd just the sort of – it makes me nervous when teams are going into a season

Loweknowing, like, if this doesn't work, someone is getting traded.

LoweLike, just the financial reality is someone's getting traded. And so I'm a little nervous about that. But I also think Orlando – New coach. I think he's a good coach. I think Sean Swain is a good coach. I also think Orlando – I've said this before. It's like being slept on as a top six candidate.

From the episode transcript around 00:30:59. Speaker names are recognized by voice.
