It's a very special Election-free edition of Straight Fire! On today's episode, Jason opens things up by giving out two NFL Week 9 underdogs he's thinking about betting on this Sunday. It's still very early in the week, but all you bettors out there would be wise to take a long look at the Las Vegas Raiders traveling to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers and the Chicago Bears against the Tennessee Titans. Plus, former Green Bay Packers executive and MMQB columnist Andrew Brandt swings to discuss what went down (or more specifically, what did NOT go down) at the NFL trade deadline. Brandt explains why he believes the Packers ultimately decided not to make a trade for Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller and it had everything to do with Fuller's impending free agency, why Green Bay has historically been quiet at the deadline and in free agency, why the uncertainty surrounding the 2021 salary cap makes draft picks even more valuable, why the San Francisco 49ers creative management of the salary cap could allow them to move on from Jimmy Garoppolo after the season, why he's only cautiously optimistic that every NFL team will be able to play all 16 games this season, and much more!
