NFL 2025 Season Preview – Risers, Fallers, and Big Storylines

The countdown to kickoff is almost over, and the A&D Podcast is here to set the stage for another unforgettable NFL season. Austin and Dietrich break down the league from top to bottom, starting with the teams that might not live up to last year’s hype. Which franchises are facing tougher schedules, aging rosters, or offseason shake-ups that could send them sliding down the standings? The hosts share their bold takes on who could be in for a rude awakening.

On the flip side, the conversation turns to the teams ready to take a big step forward. From rebuilding squads that suddenly look playoff-ready to underdogs with breakout potential, Austin and Dietrich spotlight the rosters that might shock the league and make deep postseason runs.

Injuries are always the X-factor in any NFL season, and this year is no exception. The hosts delve into key players returning from major setbacks, veterans carrying lingering health concerns, and positional groups that could crumble if one or two key players are lost.

Finally, Austin and Dietrich share the storylines that have them most fired up—rising young quarterbacks with something to prove, coaching changes that could swing entire divisions, and the rivalries primed to heat up under the bright lights.
