Nate Tice and Charles McDonald team up to identify the most unpredictable NFL teams this season. They define “frisky” as teams with a win total below 9 games that will give any opponent a run for their money. The duo spotlights the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans as the most frisky teams, and explains why the Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be underestimated.
Later, Nate and Charles discuss two “reverse frisky” teams (teams with a sub-9 win total that may not be as competitive as expected): the Los Angeles Chargers, who still need time to develop, and the Washington Commanders, who have built a roster that lacks speed and depth.
