Wyatt also talked about the big factors that could hurt the Broncos against the Titans and debated on what the final score could be. The guys continued with their predictions with over/under on topics ranging from Derrick Henry rushing yards, total points and how many missed field goals there could be. DMac, Ferguson and Polumbus wrapped up the second hour jammin’ out with their favorite songs that got them ready for game day.

In the fourth hour, DMac, Tyler and Nick recap the top storylines of the day with the Top 6 at 6:00! Has Keenan Allen gone off the deep end?
