👨‍🍳 Baker Mayfield Stirs The Pot

Mayfield’s plans to ‘f---’ up the Browns is the trash talk we’ve come to expect. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Baker Mayfield loves to throw a good verbal jab and he’s stirring up the drama early ahead of Week 1 ... a look at how the Philadelphia Eagles made big moves to emerge as surprising Super Bowl contenders ... and more! Is Baker Mayfield, after the casual dropping of a stored-up, pent-up and fired-up F-bomb, now even more motivated to wreak revenge on his former team in Week 1? After hearing the muscular prediction mentioned above, are the Cleveland Browns now so mad that they want to beat Mayfield and the Carolina Panthers even more than they did before? Answers to both of those questions shortly. There are a couple of things to discuss after Mayfield told a reporter in casual conversation that when he battles the Browns he’s going to “f--- them up” — and news of that exchange reached the ears of, well, everybody. The Mayfield-Cleveland reunion is part of a Week 1 revenge double-header in the NFL, also headlined by freshly installed Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson dueling his old Seattle Seahawks pals. In terms of a storyline, there is not much better than the topic of retribution, as it allows us to get all Shakespearean, and empathize with those feelings of jealousy and anger that we’ve all experienced, without having the privilege of expending that angst on a football field. Mayfield always has a way of making things more interesting, doesn’t he? From planting flags and grabbing crotches at Oklahoma, to various media snipes after becoming the No. 1 overall pick, to … yep, all those commercials … he’s never far away from the conversation and he likes it that way.

[BET OF THE DAY] [BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Broncos (+130) win at least 11 games FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre: Russell Wilson is an enormous upgrade from game manager Teddy Bridgewater (now with Miami), and the trickle-down effect will be massive. The defense, which might be the second-best in the AFC West after the Chargers, only finished 20th in DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) but added pass rusher Randy Gregory and run-stopper D.J. Jones. What has crippled the Broncos the last two years is injuries – they ranked seventh-worst in injury luck last year and fifth-worst in 2020. Toss in the fact they went 1-5 in one-score games, and you've got a team ripe for a potential big turnaround. The December schedule is brutal, but I have the Broncos finishing 11-6.
