NFL Season Kickoff Recap: Offseason Drama, Bold Predictions & Girlfriend Banter

Written By Laura LaVoie

Dust off your jerseys, grab your favorite game-day snack, and pour a drink: Girlfriends + Football is officially back! Dezi, Beth, and Laura kick off the season with an episode that’s part offseason gossip session, part football therapy, and 100% good vibes.

Offseason Drama, Served Hot

The Girlfriends waste no time diving into all the chaos that went down while we were counting the days to kickoff. From shocking trades to “wait, HE signed WHERE?” moments, the offseason kept us on our toes. Dezi comes in with the full highlight reel of league shakeups, Beth offers her take on what it means for the season ahead, and Laura sprinkles in her signature one-liners and side-eye commentary.

Predictions, Hot Takes, and Maybe a Few Jinxes

What fun is a season kickoff without a few bold predictions? The crew lays out which teams they think will crush it, which ones are on upset alert, and the players we all need to keep an eye on. And yes, there’s a little friendly arguing (because what’s football without a little trash talk?).

Your Weekly Huddle

The best part? This episode sets the tone for a whole season of hanging out with your favorite football girlfriends. Expect weekly banter, totally unbiased (okay, slightly biased) commentary, and real talk about what’s happening on and off the field.

So if you’re ready for football that feels like catching up with your best friends, snacks and cocktails included, you won’t want to miss this one. Watch the full episode on YouTube and join us every week for smart football talk, hot takes, and plenty of laughs.

We want to hear from YOU! The best part of G+F is the conversation. Hit the comments and tell us your favorite offseason moment.
