This week's Off The Charts podcast is all about taking a look at the Football Outsiders Almanac 2020. What's new in this year's book? Why are we so high on the Pittsburgh Steelers? How much did Cam Newton mean to the Patriots' projection? And which teams from the bottom half of our projections do I most like subjectively to beat their projections? (Click for audio link.)
