1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on 2 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome 3 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: back to the Drive. I'm Dale Ally here with Matt Williamson. 4 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: It's time to take a look at all of the 5 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: games that are gonna take place this weekly quick recap 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: on last night's game, the Bengals on last second field 7 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: goal beat the Jaguar. That was the first lead that 8 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: they had in that game. I guess that makes sense, 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: and Jags came out hot. UM A lot of takeaways 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: from that game. First of all, I thought it was 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: very enjoyable to watch the two first overall pick quarterbacks 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: and part of the thought maybe Steelers will have somebody 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: like that next year. Who knows, you know, I mean 14 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: how much fun those fan bases much have must have 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: rooting for a really talented, impressive young quarterback to build around. Um. 16 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: I looked at that game going in, going this is 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: gonna be tougher since you know, they just played a 18 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: huge just one their super Bowl, right, and we can 19 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: laugh at the Jags in Houston and the bad teams, 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: but these people were proud and every in America's on them. 21 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: Where on Sunday at one. Most people don't. They don't. Yeah, 22 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: these these are teams that don't usually get a prime 23 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: time game like that. I know. The first thing that 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: I you know that that I'm seeing on my timeline 25 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: on social media and stuff. Well, you know, the Jaguars 26 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: are getting there running the football here against the Bengals, 27 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: and the Jaguars are getting a pass rush on Burrow 28 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: and the Steelers couldn't. Like I got a lot of that. Yeah, Like, okay, 29 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: Well the Bengals defense was on the field for about 30 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: eighty plays Sunday and then had to turn around and 31 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: come back up and play with some injuries of debates 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: and some of the better guys against the Jaguars. It 33 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: wasn't the exact same defensive steals, right, you know. And hey, 34 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean every game is different. You can do that 35 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: with every team in the league. Well, last week, these 36 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: guys ran the ball onto and well that's why they 37 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,639 Speaker 1: corrected it, you know. I mean that's just the Saints 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: pounded the Packers in Week one and then went out 39 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: and get pounded the next week by the Carolina Carolina Panthers. 40 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: Does that mean the Carolina Panthers would beat the Packers 41 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: by right? Yeah, there's some manuscript always yeah, yeah, exactly. 42 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: But you know, the Jags came out playing really well. 43 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: Lawrence looked better than usual. Um, I think he's starting 44 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: to get a little more comfortable. Wisely, they using they're 45 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: using him as a runner by designed to get in 46 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: the football. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I think I don't think 47 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: they were big on him. I mean, some of the 48 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: people I've talked to, their close to the Jags thought 49 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: they inherited Robinson. They looked at him like an undrafted 50 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: for stage and he's just a guy. We're gonna draft 51 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: a t N. And one of the best things that 52 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: maybe happened to him was a t N get hurt, 53 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: realized this dude's Legit was hurt so right right as 54 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: we got to give the ball to this guy. And 55 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: they brought in the Ohio state connection, and right he's 56 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: by far the best. But I just don't think Urban 57 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: Meyer is not a good football coach. I think he's 58 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: in over is out of the NFL level question. Like 59 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: I said, he's he's a good college coach. The NFL. 60 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: The NFL game is different, it's much different. He could scheme, 61 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 1: he could he could have he could recruit the heck 62 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: out of you know, the country. When when he was 63 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: at Ohio State program, Yeah, build a program and okay, 64 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: this this five star pick isn't working, Well, we'll put 65 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: this five star guy in and replace him. And you're 66 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: Jimmy's and Joe's were better, and the other teams Jimmy's 67 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: and Joe's, so the excess and knows really didn't matter. Yeah, 68 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: when you get to that point though, but they don't 69 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: just give you the Ohio State job without it. No, 70 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: he earned him. I mean, you know he did. He 71 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: did good things at Utah to get those jobs and 72 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: bowling green before that. Um, but you don't get that 73 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: opportunity in the NFL. You get one first round pick 74 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: every year. He didn't get five. Trevor Lawrences, he got 75 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: one on and they're still straight line. How to make 76 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: all that work? No, I think he's in over his 77 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: head right now. As as a coach. I think Taylor 78 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: starting to finally turn the corner a little bit. I mean, well, 79 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: that's what happens when you get a you know, top 80 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: five pick every year, and he should eventually hit and 81 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: you should start to realize what it takes to witness league. 82 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: I thought Taylor was well over his head as a coach, 83 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure that he's out of the woods, 84 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: that he's gonna be a top guy or whatever. They 85 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: should have lost that game last night probably if if 86 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: if Lawrence gets into the end zone at the end 87 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: of half, like and then what the Cincinnati did after that, 88 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: they get to stop at like the half yard line 89 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: and they start running plays like it took first, they 90 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: take a delay a game penalty, moved the ball back 91 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: even more. It was like another inch, but you know, 92 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: you can't you can't, I get you can't take a 93 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: knee there. It was an odd situational football's burrow into 94 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: the line and try to get something there and then 95 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: take a me and get the heck out of there. 96 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: Have burrow burrow into the line about yeah, but it 97 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: was an odd situational football move there. But they're like, 98 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: we just want to go to the Can we just 99 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: go to halftime? Please? Can we just without getting a safety? 100 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: Or haven't we can't kneel because there's no space. It's 101 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: like it was pretty clear that they had never practiced 102 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: that situation, you know, like I'm not sure how to 103 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: do this, you know, but we didna do here. Yeah, well, 104 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: we need to kill fifty seconds and I don't know 105 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: how to do it. We can't take a knee? Yeah, 106 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: could we just not? Ye know? How about we just 107 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: let the let the clock run out and you guys 108 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: let us go in the locker room. And that's not 109 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: how it works. But they're three and one, they are, 110 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: and they're better than they've been. Yeah, oh yeah, that's 111 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: without a doubt. That leads us to the a f 112 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: C North Games this week. The Browns two and one 113 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: are at the Vikings, one in to Cleveland, favored in Minnesota. 114 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: Yeah by two. That's the over unders fifty one and 115 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: a half. Um. I think they're in for a tough one. 116 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: I kind of like the Vikings in this game. That's 117 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: a tough place to play. It's loud, pay to play. 118 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk about the Ravens next. I picked 119 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: against both of them, and it's not because of my 120 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: Steeler lover. We're on SNR and I just think they're 121 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: really tough environments to road games. Yeah, and I do 122 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: think the public and probably the betting world might be 123 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: overreacting to the Browns slaughter of the Bears last week. 124 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: You know, I mean, that's that might be the anomaly 125 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: game of the whole season. Game that was almost like 126 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: the game We're Denver played last year without a quarterback. 127 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: It was that bad. It was that it was that 128 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: kind of overmatch that throw. I mean, like today, I 129 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: looked at yards were played differential and the Browns are 130 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: by far number one and the Bears are by far 131 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: number thirty two. Small sample size. Browns were obviously the 132 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: better team. But let's not get too crazy on just 133 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: that one game where Minnesota is the opposite. Minnesota is 134 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: very close to being three and o and they're one 135 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: and two, and that's a really tough place to play. 136 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: And with all refective Baker who's playing well, Cousins has 137 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: been way better than Baker later Cousins playing really well. Yeah. Um, 138 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, I just think that that Zimmer will know 139 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: how to slow down Stefanski's offense. He'll come up with something. 140 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: And now, whether they have the horses to do it 141 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: or not, that reans be seen. But I trust gonna 142 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: work both ways. No one seems to think that's its 143 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: gonna help Stefanski, but help both of them, right, Yeah, 144 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: I've probably been a low scoring type game. Yeah, and 145 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: I like Minnesota's weapons. Like, if there's a if, if 146 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: there's a backfield that can match what Cleveland has, Oh, 147 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: it's pretty good. It's Minnesota. Assuming Cook plays the Cook plays, 148 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's right there. It might be better, might 149 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: be the better overall player. Cook might be the best 150 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: of the group. Cook might be the best. You know, 151 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: if you're picking those guys one through four, it would 152 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: be a pretty good argument between And I'll definitely take 153 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: Jefferson and the Eland the backham and whoever the number 154 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: two is gonna catches the ball better. Oh yeah, yeah, 155 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: you League superstar. Yeah. Um. And they're built the same way. 156 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're cut from the same cloth. Yeah. 157 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: And I just think in a tough environment, that's gonna 158 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: be game. It's almost like a division game. They know 159 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: each other really well. Um, if you're gonna give me points, 160 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: I'll take them. The home team, I'll take them. I mean, 161 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: I'm not betting my mortgage on it, but I think 162 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be And I don't know who's gonna win. Yeah, 163 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: I agree. The Ravens travel to uh Denver, and you know, 164 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: you look at Denver and you say, Okay, what are 165 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: they what are the Broncos Because they've beaten the Jets, 166 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: they've beaten the Giants, and they've beaten the Jaguars. I mean, 167 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: you couldn't have lined up who's next and the Lions 168 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: on their their you know schedule next Georgia Tech. It's 169 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: it couldn't have been easier putting it out on a 170 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: platform him Uh, Denver favored by one in this game. 171 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: I've seen that go back and forth. I've also seen 172 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore favored by one in different place. The over under 173 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: forty five. Lamar Jackson back at practice today, but he's 174 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: dealing with a bad back. I don't like hearing that 175 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: from a Raven. I don't like that either, you know 176 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: it to be an or an anchor or can he 177 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: step into his throws? Can he make can he make throws? 178 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: And he needs to make um. The Ravens have allowed 179 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: yards passing in five passing touchdowns in three games. Denver 180 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: has got some weapons they do, and Teddy's actually pushing 181 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. He's been really good for 182 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: the team and that the things we don't like about 183 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: out on the game manager. The conservativeness has still been 184 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: there and trusted defense, but they have a good marriage 185 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: going now with him actually taking shots and it helps me. 186 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: They're playing, don't get me wrong. And I think mun 187 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: Chack's done good things with that offensive line, which is 188 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: kind of the foundation, and they run the ball pretty well, 189 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: and you know pant and Albert oh or quality players 190 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: do you know, want to talk about tough places to play? 191 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: I think it's the hardest. Yeah, especially earlier in the year, 192 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: and it's still considered early in the year for a 193 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: team that's a little short. And the secondary. Um, they 194 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: played a lot of snaps where some guys coming off 195 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: the COVID list this week that upfront that you know, 196 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: I think it's a tough game. Um, what's the spread 197 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: in that game? I know the Ravens are two and one. 198 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: It's kind of we're just talking about the Vikes, but 199 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: they're awful close to oh and three too. If they 200 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: don't squeak, you know, Tucker's field will doesn't go in 201 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: if there oh and three in the in the Broncos 202 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: are three and oh, Broncos are at least the three 203 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: point four and a half. It's it's aception and if 204 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: at the end of the game goes a little differently, 205 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I would take them for 206 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: for much the same reasons I'm taking Minnesota is I 207 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: expect a very low scoring game with a lot of 208 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: runs and a lot of punts, and I'll take the 209 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: home team in that situation. Yeah. The only thing that 210 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: you look at the it really favors the Ravens there 211 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: is if it comes down to a field goal at 212 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: the end, Tucker might kick a seventy yard or they'll 213 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: try them from Yeah, their own twenty Neil on the 214 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: overtime and kick this helium ball, right, they're kicking out 215 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: of the end zone. You get it, twenty five and 216 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: then he tries to field goal from. I would like 217 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: Denver's chances even better if they had, like kJ Hamler 218 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: were available some of the other weapons of jet. Yeah. Right, 219 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: but fan will be a problem for them. Oh yeah, 220 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: it's a good players, a good player. So you know, 221 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: you can only put Marlon Humphrey on one of those 222 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: guys and then you you know you had any Uh, 223 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: They've had some secondary issues and their linebackers aren't great 224 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: in coverage right now either with Fant and Thakking stay here, 225 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: you really good and when we talk fantasy, he might 226 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: be a guy to maybe even target. Yeah, I think 227 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: he's just smart, take care of the football. Yeah, he's 228 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: not gonna lose it for him. He may not win 229 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 1: it for him, but he's not gonna lose it for him, 230 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: not to Lamar Will. I mean, I think Lamar is 231 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: playing really well, but I don't love Hear in the back. 232 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: I do like I do like Denver's defense a lot. 233 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: Their secondary to their secondary will give Baltimore trouble. If 234 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: I were Baltimore boy, I'd kill for Gus Edwards or 235 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: d K Error or for j K. Dobbins or one 236 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: of those guys. Right now. I mean, they're just what 237 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: they should do is after this game is over, tell 238 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon you're coming with us. Yeah, we'll keep you. 239 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: Keep a pick and we'll keep you. Because they're really 240 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: searching at that position right now. I don't know if 241 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna figure it out. Some of the other games 242 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: are on the league. Panthers three and oh at Cowboys 243 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: two and one, spread his Dallas by four and a 244 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: half over and unbeaten Panther's team. They're sort of like 245 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: Denver with who they played over under his fifty one 246 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: and a half. They did beat the Saints. They did, 247 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: They're impressive. I think Dallas is better. I do as well, um, 248 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: and I'll lay the points in that one. Yeah, Donald 249 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: has played well, played better. He's played better than he 250 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: had he did when he was with the Jets, but 251 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: his pocket presence is still work in progress. He's also 252 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: I really have respect for that coaching staff and including 253 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: both coordinators. I'm not saying that it's easy for Donald. 254 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: It's way easier than it was with the Jets. He's 255 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: had very defined reads and he's making the throws. It's 256 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: going where he was with the football great, but he's not. Wow, 257 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: he's a million times better. He's turned the corner that 258 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: you know. I like him. I'm pressed with what he's 259 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: done and I still think. I mean, not having McCaffrey 260 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: is a problem huge. I mean it's a problem huge. 261 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: I mean that that's they don't have anybody that can 262 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: replicate what he does. And Dallas is good. Dack to 263 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: me is a top five quarterback. It never gets mentioned 264 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: in that light. He's he's a massive quarterback advantage. And 265 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: I don't know that the weapons are you know, comparable either. Yeah, 266 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: I agree that it doesn't stink by the way, a 267 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: pair of one and two teams, Chiefs at Eagles Kansas 268 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: City by seven, four and a half. I think the 269 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: spread before team. Here's the thing. Chiefs don't blow anybody out. 270 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: They don't. Defense is so bad. Jalen Hurts may run 271 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: for a hundred fifty yards in this game. It's possible. Um, 272 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: they don't hand the ball to running back, so which 273 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: whatever reason, you know, maybe after not doing it last 274 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: week they get two running back, maybe they do go 275 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: the other right way with it this week, and and 276 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: and finally hand the ball. Uh, Javon Hargrave will be 277 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: an issue, will be a problem. It's been awesome this year. 278 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: It's been great. Um. We mentioned urban Meyer earlier that 279 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: it looks in over his head. Um, what the heck 280 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: the Eagles head coach's name. I think he might be too, 281 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I mean that offense really 282 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: seems disjointed and the quarterback doesn't help. Don't get me wrong. Um, 283 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: they play almost entirely zone on defense. I just think 284 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: that Reid and Mahomes and Homes by the way, has 285 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: not been his normal by the way, and he's been 286 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: really good, but not himself. I just think if you're 287 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: gonna play his zone all day against those guys and 288 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: they know it, look out. Yeah, uh Texans one and two. 289 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: Remember when the Texas won their opener at Buffalo two 290 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: and one? Remember when the Bills lost their opener? Here's 291 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: the question there, are you willing to lay seventeen points 292 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: in that the spread here at sixteen and a half 293 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: the over under? Think about that? Right? Right? Implied? When 294 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: the point total or whatever? Yeah, Um, I think Buffalo 295 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: destroys them. But I think Texans are a great back 296 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: Texans and Lion or my back door covered teams because 297 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: I think they'll play hard, they don't quit. Um Cooks 298 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: has been a monster. Yeah, he's just you know, we'll 299 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: see what happens with that one. But Josh, it seems 300 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: beginning it together that Bill's defense looks legit. Um, they 301 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: might be the best in the league. They should win 302 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: that football. I think they win huge. Yeah. Giants oh 303 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: and three at Saints somehow, the Saints are two and 304 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: one and they haven't I don't know if as they have. 305 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: They thrown for three total yard yet this year it's 306 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: the least passing hours favored by seven and a half points. 307 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if they should be favored by anybody 308 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: over unders forty two. You wanna talk about like at 309 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: least it's forty two. Yeah, it's seven and a half 310 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: point spread, right, I mean something doesn't work there, No, 311 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't. The Giants keep it close the score and 312 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: the Saints son have any receivers. Right, I think they 313 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: win the game. I think they're a better team, Like 314 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: the defense is the best unit out there, But that 315 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're gonna win by a lot, right, I 316 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: don't know if they should be favorite. That doesn't add up. 317 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: There's there's like four spreads this year this week that 318 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: don't that I look at like that's wrong, which it 319 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: means if I put money on them, I'll lose everyone. 320 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: That's how that goes. Yeah, they don't build those big 321 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: buildings in the desert because they lose a lot of bets. 322 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: Is this an a FC elimination game? Colts oh and 323 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: three at Dolphins one and two? No, only because the 324 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: South is so horrible. There's that Tennessee could fall in 325 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: their face. But here's the thing, though, the loser then 326 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: loses the tiebreaker against that other team. I don't think 327 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: the loser of that game has any chance in the 328 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: wild Card. So in a way, yes, in a way, yes, 329 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: Miami favored by one and a half, the over under 330 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: forty two and a half. I think I think Miami 331 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: is better culture all kinds of banged up in Miami 332 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: just refuses to throw the ball down the field. Though, 333 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: if they're gonna throw sideways all day long, Darius Leonard 334 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: might have eighty tackles. Agreed. Yeah, I mean I kind 335 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: of want to bet on both against both those teams 336 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: right now. To be very honest with you, I don't 337 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: have a lot of faith in either one. I wish 338 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: the Steelers were playing one of them this week, to 339 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: be honest, because there's neither one of them are in 340 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: the schedule, right I mean, they're both just in a 341 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: bad spot right now. But to your points, I don't 342 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: think my I mean, I think Buffalo wins that division 343 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: and it's over by you know, Christmas. Yeah, I mean 344 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle has twenty two catches, yeah for nothing, for 345 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty seven yards. He's averaging seven point 346 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: six yards per catch, and for three guys, he's like 347 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: one of the three fastest guys in the Yeah, it 348 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: just makes no sense, right, it's all horizontal. They're treating 349 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: him like he's Rondel Moore or one of those type 350 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: of guys. You know, just get it to him quick. 351 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: You know, we were talking about how high percentage of 352 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: Steelers throws or behind the line of scrimmage. I mean 353 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: they did it on their own one yard line. It 354 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: was a safety. Yeah, they threw to them like four 355 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: yards deep in the end. Zode, Yeah, that's just try 356 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: to make something happen here. Kids. His twenty twenty two 357 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: receptions of the second most in a player through his 358 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: first three game career games in Super Bowl era, I 359 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: guarantee you that a hundred and fifty players have had 360 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: more yardage everybody, Right, It's really a strange animal. It's 361 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: just nuts. Uh. Washington wanted to at Atlanta. Wanted to 362 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: Washington favor by one and a half. This is one. 363 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: I don't think seven and a half. I think that 364 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: one's completely wrong. Washington should be favored by three or four. 365 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: I was gonna say like four or five. I just 366 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: think Atlanta is bad, really bad. And Okay, Washington's defense 367 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: hasn't been close to what we expected, but those offensive 368 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: linemen and Matt Ryan aren't blocking those four. I mean, 369 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: Ryan's averaging five point three yards every time he drops 370 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: back to pass. Yeah, it's really bad. It's everything six 371 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: six yards per attempt. He's getting sacked a lot, and 372 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: their defense is worse. The defense is awful. Yeah, I mean, 373 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm really hoping Gibsons and I think Washington just controls 374 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: the football and beats theatar out of this team. To 375 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: be honest with you, I mean, Atlanta beating the Giants 376 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: last week was doesn't change in my opinion at all, 377 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: not one bit. I always I mentioned I read these 378 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: off of the stats and all this stuff off of 379 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: the NFL Nation on ESPN stuff. Almost every one of 380 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: these games the because they've been a lot of close ones. 381 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 1: The guy for who's picking from one one team in 382 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: this case, the guy who's who covers the Washington covers Washington, 383 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: picks Washington. Guy who covers the Falcons picks the Falcons. Like, 384 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: come on, man, all right, I wouldn't pick the Falcons 385 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 1: to win the lottery if they had every ticket in 386 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: the lottery. You should know the team better anybody, right. 387 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: That's a good point. Uh, Titans two and one at 388 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: Jets oh and three this is a utter mismatch. Although 389 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: did you get the blurb that just came across the 390 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: MINDEO No. Julio and A. J. Brown both rolled out. 391 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: I kind of expected that, Um, they'll figure out a 392 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: way to move they get they'll hand the ball at 393 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: their Canry forty times a million times. In fact, he 394 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: made it might be thirty times. They might actually throw 395 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: them the ball seven or eight times this week. So 396 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: let's run the whole offense throw them. I saw this earlier, 397 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: and I know the numbers in front of you. What's 398 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: the over under and spreading this game again? Seven and 399 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: forty four and a half. So do we think the 400 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: Jets can get to ten? No? I can't imagine that 401 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: they scored six points in their last two games. They're horrendous. 402 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: I don't points all season, So I can't see the 403 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: Titans getting the thirty four with no receivers like this 404 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: screams under with Henry. Henry would have to swing six 405 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: touchdowns and then you know, just you know, throwing people 406 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: around like their little kids, which could happen, Which could happen, right, 407 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: I just that's another one that just didn't add up 408 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: to me. I'm like, how do they get the forty 409 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: four points. The Jets have twenty points in their first 410 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: three games. They don't score point. That's my argument that 411 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, people talking about the Steeler Steelers offense is 412 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: the worst in the league. No, you haven't seen the Jets. 413 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: Jets are horrendous. They've scored three points in the first half. 414 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: Speaking of horrendous, Lions oh and three at Bears one 415 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: into Chicago favored by two and a half half, the 416 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: over under forty one and a half. That's the lowest 417 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: of the weekend. I actually like the Lions in this game. 418 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: I think I do too. I think they know who 419 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: they are better golfs an NFL quarterback behind an NFL 420 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: line with NFL coaches, and know what to do with 421 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: those guys. I expect you can actually get the ball 422 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: to their weapons. And it's Hawkinson and Swift, it's not receivers, 423 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: it's not traditional um. I think the field's experience will 424 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: be way better. Again, we thought that was a massive anomaly, 425 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: but they're still figuring it out. It would surprise me 426 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: if they run Dalton out during this game. I think 427 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: they will or foals or foals right. I think Detroit wins. 428 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: I do too. Chicago's a bad team. Um and whenn't 429 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: you know it? Lions the Lions Guy picks Lions twenty one, 430 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: Bears fourteen the Bears. Guy picks Bears twenty one. Lines 431 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: sent this one might actually be the game of the week. 432 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: Cardinals three and oh at Rams three and oh. That's 433 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: a four oh five start. Rams favored by four and 434 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: a half the over under GIF. Yeah. Good fantasy game 435 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: for sure. Obviously some some star power there. Um, two 436 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: semi candidates from VP at quarterbacks. You know, I mean 437 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: divisional game, and I know divisional games don't usually work 438 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: this way. I think the Rams are gonna be a 439 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: little spent after the Tampa win, you know, just they 440 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: didn't have to go anywhere. They're still home, right, I know, 441 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 1: I know. I think Arizona keeps it close, although I 442 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: think the Rams are probably the best team in the 443 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: league right now. Yeah, but I think they keep it close. Yeah. 444 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: How about this stat? Unders are eight and two in 445 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: Rams home games since the beginning of last season. I 446 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't think that in those eight games, Rams are six 447 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: and two outright in five and three against the spread. 448 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: So I'm just wondering, is their defense that much better 449 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: at home? Does Donald ever better get off? But there 450 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: wasn't fans right, uh? Of course, sticking with the trends, 451 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: the Cardinals guy picks the Cardinals and the Rams guy 452 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: picks the Ram That's about where I'm I think it's 453 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: closer than that. Uh. See, this is a big game 454 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. Seahawks one and two, two and one 455 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: and three in that division is a problem, Yeah, real problem. 456 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: San Francisco favored by two and a half the over 457 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: under his fifty two. Seattle's defense is really really bad, 458 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: it is, but San Francisco's secondary is all kinds of 459 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: bang down. My co host on the podcast, he's a 460 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: Niners guy, and the other guy he's actually picking Seattle, 461 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: you know, because he said, I think my team, the 462 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: Niners fifteen and four against the forty Niners. By the way, 463 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: that's a good reason. Why reason, But he had a 464 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: really good point. He's like, we're just not a good 465 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 1: matchup right now for Seattle. Our corners are bad, and 466 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: that's a bad team to be bad at corner, you know, 467 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: I mean those two receivers are a problem. And you 468 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: know he was talking about how you know, everything with 469 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: San Francis go Is Debot for a short one break 470 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: a tackle. You know, they don't really have a deep threat. 471 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: He was saying, we need the DK metcalf to attack 472 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: their deep guys, and we don't have that type of player. 473 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: You know is he's saying we the whole time, I 474 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: didn't noticed I was doing that a lot. They had 475 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: the better quarterback in Seattle, and the Seahawks are one 476 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: of those teams. Like, just when I think they're in 477 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: a bad spot, Wilson and Carol win a game. It's 478 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: a it's a division game. You know, they know what 479 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: to expect here. Once again, sticking with the trend, uh 480 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: the they both picked around name. It's actually opposite though. 481 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: How about this one the forty the Seahawks guy picks 482 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: the thirty one, thirty the forty Niners guy picks the 483 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I like Seattle to win that one. I 484 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: think they do too. I just that's the type of game. 485 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: Wilson and Carol win Ravens two and one at Broncos 486 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: three and oh, we talked about that one already. Get 487 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: to see Steelers and Packers. We've talked about that one 488 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: week long. The Big the Big One, that everybody's talking 489 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: about that. I don't think this is another one that 490 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. Buccaneers to him one at Patriots 491 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: one and two to spread is seven Tampa by seven. 492 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: The over under forty nine. It should be eleven. The 493 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: Buccaneers I think score forty nine points on their own. Yeah. 494 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: I don't think this game is closed. They won't take 495 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: the foot off the pedal. This is this is one 496 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: where be able just say, Tom, go out and throw 497 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: as many touchdown passes as you want to Gronk. Yeah, 498 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: cut three, three touchdown passes, and you know Gronk's questionable 499 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: for this one. I don't care if he's missing a 500 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: foot in an arm. He's gonna play and he's gonna 501 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: catch a touchdown in this game. Yeah. People thinking that 502 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: old Belichick is gonna come up with something Tom Brady's 503 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: never seen before, get out of here with that. That's fine, 504 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: and then the whole Belichick will take away what you wanted. 505 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: Are your best weapon, which one's say, that's fine and all, 506 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: but his, Jimmy's and Joe's aren't close, not even close. 507 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: Not to mention, they're the hardest team in the league 508 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: to run against. That. Yeah, right, you're gonna put it 509 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: all on the kids, Mack, you take it away. You 510 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: know you're they're in big trouble. Two picks. The Tampa 511 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: Bay writer picks the Buccaneer four. The Patriots rater picks 512 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: Buccaneers twenty. They both they but it's I think it's 513 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: gonna be bigger. I think it's bigger than that. I 514 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: don't think New Englands will put points. No, No, I 515 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: don't think so either. And then the final game of 516 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: the weekend Raiders three and oh at Chargers two and one. 517 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: It's gonna be like a Raiders home game. Though Chargers 518 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: favored by three. The over under's fifty one and a half. 519 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: There's more Raider fans in l A than there are 520 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: Charger fans. Yeah. I like the Chargers in this game. 521 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 1: Do you think there's just a better football team too. 522 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: I consistently sell the Raiders short, and I sure did 523 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: when they came here. But I think the Chargers are better. 524 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: It's been a very I mean, they they've done what 525 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: they've done. Yeah, they played well, yeah, but no, I 526 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: think the Chargers are the better football team. Um, maybe 527 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: better coached, better weapons, better quarterback. I mean, derwin on 528 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 1: Waller is really interesting to be playing this week? What's 529 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 1: up and there? When Derwin James banged up? Isn't he 530 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: You might be right? I don't know. I had I 531 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: thought he was. I could could be wrong about that, 532 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: but I thought I saw that earlier in the week 533 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: that he's a little nicked up. But I think it'd 534 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: be a really good game. I can't wait to watch it. 535 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a blowout at all, but no, 536 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: I think it'll be a close game. I think the 537 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: Raiders are better than everybody there. You know, we're starting 538 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: to get that. I like, I think the Patriots aren't 539 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: as good as everybody thought that they were, except I 540 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: wasn't on that train. No you were not. Um, I 541 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: think that the Raiders are better than people thought. I 542 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: think the Cardinals are a better team than than people 543 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: they're you know, see, there's there's some teams out there 544 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: that you look and say, yeah, they're probably a little 545 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: bit better than we thought. You know, this is a 546 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: big Brandon Stalely thing is we're gonna we're gonna play 547 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: with light boxes, play a lot of cover for you know, 548 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: have our safeties come down almost as linebackers to play 549 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: the run. Just beg you to run. Therdin't hand it 550 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: the barber a hundred times and that's enough. Yeah, I 551 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if you can keep up 552 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, because going to score, They're gonna score. Yeah. Yeah, 553 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: Alan's will be a problem. Williams is gonna be a problem. Yeah, absolutely, 554 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: But that's gonna do it for the segments. So we're 555 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: gonna take a break here.
