WEBVTT - Divisional Round Weekend!

0:00:04.299 --> 0:00:06.699
<v Speaker 1>NFL Game Deview is a production of the NFL in

0:00:06.739 --> 0:00:11.619
<v Speaker 1>partnership with iHeartRadio.

0:00:13.299 --> 0:00:15.779
<v Speaker 2>Everybody, welcome to game debut, butsit about season sports book.

0:00:15.779 --> 0:00:18.819
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Claybon back here with Greg Rosendalt and Cynthia Freeland.

0:00:18.819 --> 0:00:21.339
<v Speaker 2>If you like the last week's NFL action.

0:00:21.379 --> 0:00:23.979
<v Speaker 3>Why do we have four incredible games coming up this week?

0:00:24.379 --> 0:00:27.499
<v Speaker 4>I have never seen a field like the AFC, specifically

0:00:27.939 --> 0:00:30.179
<v Speaker 4>where I think all four teams I don't know what

0:00:30.219 --> 0:00:32.899
<v Speaker 4>your model says, has a twenty five percent chance to

0:00:32.899 --> 0:00:35.379
<v Speaker 4>make the Super Bowl exactly. That's how I see it.

0:00:35.419 --> 0:00:37.859
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's pretty precise. I don't necessarily have that, but

0:00:38.179 --> 0:00:41.139
<v Speaker 5>I will say in the AFC it's anyone's match. In

0:00:41.179 --> 0:00:43.579
<v Speaker 5>the NFC, maybe a little more lopsided in favor of

0:00:43.859 --> 0:00:45.219
<v Speaker 5>I don't know one particular team.

0:00:45.299 --> 0:00:48.219
<v Speaker 2>One thing that's always true, it's worth listening to Cynthia

0:00:48.219 --> 0:00:50.539
<v Speaker 2>Freeland because she's got the lead, the early lead in

0:00:50.579 --> 0:00:51.659
<v Speaker 2>our playoff pickstand.

0:00:51.939 --> 0:00:54.259
<v Speaker 3>Is a new season, it's a second season. It's somehou's

0:00:54.339 --> 0:00:56.739
<v Speaker 3>important seasons. I'll get that crowned on.

0:00:56.939 --> 0:01:00.859
<v Speaker 4>Synthy already did confetti. You know that's the important season.

0:01:00.899 --> 0:01:02.059
<v Speaker 4>There's the regular season.

0:01:02.739 --> 0:01:03.779
<v Speaker 3>I'll have you know the confetti.

0:01:03.819 --> 0:01:09.219
<v Speaker 2>Canon budget is doing okay, okay, maybe maybe come Super

0:01:09.259 --> 0:01:13.099
<v Speaker 2>Bowl sixty we'll have some telecommunicated competti to go up.

0:01:13.099 --> 0:01:16.659
<v Speaker 2>Here's a look at the divisional round schedule coming up.

0:01:16.699 --> 0:01:20.379
<v Speaker 2>These four games on the way this weekend. On Saturday,

0:01:20.699 --> 0:01:23.819
<v Speaker 2>it's the Bills and the Broncos. The San Francisco forty

0:01:23.899 --> 0:01:24.979
<v Speaker 2>Unders at the Seahawks.

0:01:25.019 --> 0:01:26.019
<v Speaker 3>Sunday, we get a.

0:01:25.979 --> 0:01:28.819
<v Speaker 2>Chance to see the Houston Texans taking on the Patriots

0:01:28.819 --> 0:01:33.539
<v Speaker 2>in Foxborough and Rams Bears in Chicago. Cynthia's got that

0:01:33.579 --> 0:01:36.299
<v Speaker 2>one game lead because of those Buffalo Bills getting a

0:01:36.419 --> 0:01:38.539
<v Speaker 2>road win, and it all starts with them. That was

0:01:38.579 --> 0:01:43.539
<v Speaker 2>their first road playoff win since the early nineties. Allan

0:01:43.619 --> 0:01:47.179
<v Speaker 2>in the shotgun takes the pass there, looks.

0:01:46.899 --> 0:01:49.819
<v Speaker 6>For Kincaid and he's got them who carries it into the.

0:01:49.779 --> 0:01:51.699
<v Speaker 3>End zone for that touchdown.

0:01:52.419 --> 0:01:57.539
<v Speaker 6>Jolton Kincaid strikes from fifteen yards out and the Bills

0:01:57.579 --> 0:01:58.979
<v Speaker 6>have the lead back again.

0:01:59.939 --> 0:02:02.939
<v Speaker 3>Lawrence back to pass looking on an inbreaker, Brook it

0:02:03.019 --> 0:02:06.659
<v Speaker 3>up and intercept it. Pick up my cold Bishop game,

0:02:07.099 --> 0:02:08.259
<v Speaker 3>shit match.

0:02:08.619 --> 0:02:12.219
<v Speaker 6>Buffalo's gonna win the wild card game here at Jackson

0:02:12.299 --> 0:02:14.459
<v Speaker 6>Bill the Bills.

0:02:14.179 --> 0:02:16.739
<v Speaker 2>In the top seed of Broncos facing off Saturday in Denver.

0:02:16.779 --> 0:02:19.859
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo knock Sean Payton squad out of the playoffs last year.

0:02:20.099 --> 0:02:22.099
<v Speaker 3>Does Denver get revenge?

0:02:22.499 --> 0:02:25.219
<v Speaker 4>He does not. I'm flipping. I was wrong about the

0:02:25.259 --> 0:02:28.179
<v Speaker 4>Bills last week. I'm gonna be right this week. If

0:02:28.179 --> 0:02:32.019
<v Speaker 4>you do this job long enough, eventually you can become

0:02:32.539 --> 0:02:36.539
<v Speaker 4>time of possession complimentary football guy. That's what the Bills

0:02:36.539 --> 0:02:39.099
<v Speaker 4>will do with their run game twenty six to twenty

0:02:39.179 --> 0:02:42.979
<v Speaker 4>three because of what that man seventeen can do on

0:02:43.019 --> 0:02:46.179
<v Speaker 4>the ground, but also what his teammates can do when

0:02:46.219 --> 0:02:49.099
<v Speaker 4>he hands the ball off. The offensive line, which has

0:02:49.139 --> 0:02:53.539
<v Speaker 4>been in place essentially for three straight years, help this

0:02:53.659 --> 0:02:57.459
<v Speaker 4>team lead the NFL in rushing yards, third in success

0:02:57.539 --> 0:03:00.459
<v Speaker 4>rate this year. I think about that playoff game a

0:03:00.539 --> 0:03:02.979
<v Speaker 4>year ago. They were playing it on NFL network Goaler

0:03:03.259 --> 0:03:05.459
<v Speaker 4>this week and reminded me they had the ball for

0:03:05.459 --> 0:03:07.259
<v Speaker 4>forty minutes in that game, and I think that's the

0:03:07.419 --> 0:03:12.859
<v Speaker 4>perfect way to beat this Bronco's passing defense is just

0:03:13.099 --> 0:03:16.019
<v Speaker 4>keep handing the ball off and maybe just a few

0:03:16.139 --> 0:03:19.939
<v Speaker 4>less snaps for that elder Bill's defense keep them off

0:03:19.979 --> 0:03:20.579
<v Speaker 4>the field too.

0:03:20.859 --> 0:03:23.659
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're advanced. They've seen a lot of football. They

0:03:23.659 --> 0:03:26.819
<v Speaker 2>have experiences one way to discuss it. I also was

0:03:26.859 --> 0:03:29.219
<v Speaker 2>wrong about the Bills last week, so I also would

0:03:29.299 --> 0:03:31.219
<v Speaker 2>like to play catch up and take the Buffalo Bills

0:03:31.219 --> 0:03:34.099
<v Speaker 2>winning twenty six to twenty four. One way that you

0:03:34.139 --> 0:03:36.979
<v Speaker 2>can have a long time of possession is get to

0:03:37.059 --> 0:03:39.339
<v Speaker 2>third and one or fourth and one and get what

0:03:39.419 --> 0:03:41.779
<v Speaker 2>feels like an automatic first down, or maybe you could

0:03:41.779 --> 0:03:44.859
<v Speaker 2>get essentially seven to eight yards in a game winning

0:03:45.179 --> 0:03:47.939
<v Speaker 2>quarterback sneak. But it's not just Josh Allen being able

0:03:47.979 --> 0:03:50.939
<v Speaker 2>to get those difficult yards where he's playing through multiple

0:03:50.939 --> 0:03:52.779
<v Speaker 2>injuries and battering his body to a pulp.

0:03:52.859 --> 0:03:55.059
<v Speaker 3>Regardless of the circumstances.

0:03:55.139 --> 0:03:58.019
<v Speaker 2>The Bills running backs and tight ends get eight point

0:03:58.059 --> 0:04:01.019
<v Speaker 2>eight yards per target. They're first in the NFL in

0:04:01.059 --> 0:04:03.499
<v Speaker 2>that capacity. Yeah, the Broncos are great in the secondary.

0:04:03.499 --> 0:04:06.139
<v Speaker 2>They have there any defensive player they are playing cornerback,

0:04:06.299 --> 0:04:07.979
<v Speaker 2>I think they able to avoid them and have a

0:04:07.979 --> 0:04:08.659
<v Speaker 2>successful game.

0:04:08.659 --> 0:04:11.779
<v Speaker 5>Here, Cynthia, well, you're letting me stand alone on an

0:04:11.819 --> 0:04:13.259
<v Speaker 5>island picking Denver.

0:04:13.459 --> 0:04:16.979
<v Speaker 3>Oh, the role reversal the home underdone.

0:04:16.579 --> 0:04:20.459
<v Speaker 5>Twenty four to twenty three is my score? Why the

0:04:20.499 --> 0:04:23.219
<v Speaker 5>screen pass. Let's have a little bit of a tribute

0:04:23.259 --> 0:04:26.539
<v Speaker 5>here for how bo Nicks does on these short, high

0:04:26.579 --> 0:04:29.099
<v Speaker 5>probability passes where he has the second most yards in

0:04:29.179 --> 0:04:32.739
<v Speaker 5>the league this season. I'm looking at this because why

0:04:32.859 --> 0:04:35.939
<v Speaker 5>we know the Bills defense is very generous to the run.

0:04:36.299 --> 0:04:39.419
<v Speaker 5>What's another way to approximate a run a screen pass?

0:04:39.419 --> 0:04:42.619
<v Speaker 5>Of course, And ultimately you talked about time of possession,

0:04:42.899 --> 0:04:45.379
<v Speaker 5>and when you talk about time and possession, typically that

0:04:45.459 --> 0:04:47.819
<v Speaker 5>happens in the run game. It's not usually achieved through

0:04:47.859 --> 0:04:52.059
<v Speaker 5>passes unless they're what kind of passes screen passes. So

0:04:52.259 --> 0:04:55.219
<v Speaker 5>ultimately I think that their roles will reverse in this one.

0:04:55.499 --> 0:04:58.139
<v Speaker 5>And instead of seeing the Bills come out on top

0:04:58.259 --> 0:05:00.939
<v Speaker 5>and just totally crush time of possession and kind of

0:05:00.979 --> 0:05:03.899
<v Speaker 5>all aspects of that game, I think the Denver Broncos defense,

0:05:04.259 --> 0:05:07.619
<v Speaker 5>sneaky good against the run, isn't going to let that happen.

0:05:07.699 --> 0:05:11.859
<v Speaker 5>And also injuries to the very light receiving for for

0:05:11.899 --> 0:05:14.099
<v Speaker 5>the Bills also influences my decision.

0:05:14.379 --> 0:05:16.859
<v Speaker 2>So they got that playoff lead with the belief in

0:05:16.899 --> 0:05:18.659
<v Speaker 2>faith in the Bills getting a road win.

0:05:19.779 --> 0:05:21.099
<v Speaker 3>Role reversal this time around.

0:05:21.179 --> 0:05:24.059
<v Speaker 2>The player props according to our friends at Caesar Sports Book,

0:05:24.099 --> 0:05:25.939
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen two hundred and fifty five and a half

0:05:25.979 --> 0:05:28.659
<v Speaker 2>total yards James Cook seventy six and a half rushing

0:05:28.739 --> 0:05:31.579
<v Speaker 2>yards against the number two rush defense, Bo Nicks at

0:05:31.579 --> 0:05:33.659
<v Speaker 2>two thirteen and a half r J Harvey at fifty

0:05:33.699 --> 0:05:36.099
<v Speaker 2>five and a half rushing yards in Courtland Sutton at

0:05:36.139 --> 0:05:39.139
<v Speaker 2>fifty five and a half receiving yards. So allow us

0:05:39.179 --> 0:05:42.419
<v Speaker 2>to play this guy or that guy will start with you, Greg,

0:05:42.659 --> 0:05:45.219
<v Speaker 2>who's more likely to have over fifty receiving yards?

0:05:45.259 --> 0:05:46.939
<v Speaker 3>Khalil Shakir or Courtland's.

0:05:46.979 --> 0:05:49.379
<v Speaker 4>This one's tough because Shakiro was almost the entire offense

0:05:49.419 --> 0:05:51.699
<v Speaker 4>last week. But I actually think it's Courtland Sutton because

0:05:51.699 --> 0:05:54.819
<v Speaker 4>Patrick's heir ten. He's got to cover Khalil Shakir, and

0:05:54.859 --> 0:05:58.659
<v Speaker 4>then you got Sutton against Yeah, this secondary which isn't

0:05:58.659 --> 0:06:02.059
<v Speaker 4>at full string, No Maxwell Harriston this week. On the

0:06:02.059 --> 0:06:05.619
<v Speaker 4>back end, Jordan Poyer is her and yeah, Trenevious White

0:06:05.659 --> 0:06:07.499
<v Speaker 4>is getting it done. I think the Broncos could be

0:06:07.539 --> 0:06:10.099
<v Speaker 4>in a situation where they have to throw a little

0:06:10.139 --> 0:06:14.939
<v Speaker 4>bit more, and Sutton is really the one true, reliable

0:06:15.259 --> 0:06:18.859
<v Speaker 4>outside number one receiver in this entire game that includes Shakir,

0:06:18.899 --> 0:06:21.059
<v Speaker 4>So I feel more comfortable that he's going to have

0:06:21.099 --> 0:06:22.659
<v Speaker 4>a steady game. Let's go court next.

0:06:23.499 --> 0:06:27.259
<v Speaker 2>As great as things were in the tight windows circumstances,

0:06:27.299 --> 0:06:29.699
<v Speaker 2>and as great as Jacoby Myers has been. I think

0:06:29.739 --> 0:06:32.099
<v Speaker 2>with the ball in the air and defenders in close proximity,

0:06:32.179 --> 0:06:35.339
<v Speaker 2>Culton Sutton maybe having the edge on Jacoby Marers. Let's

0:06:35.339 --> 0:06:38.339
<v Speaker 2>go over to you, Cynthia. Three or more receptions Dalton

0:06:38.419 --> 0:06:39.499
<v Speaker 2>Kincaid or r J.

0:06:39.659 --> 0:06:40.059
<v Speaker 3>Harvey.

0:06:40.219 --> 0:06:42.699
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm staying internally consistent here and going with R. J.

0:06:42.819 --> 0:06:45.819
<v Speaker 5>Harvey because I'm just gonna keep talking about the line

0:06:45.859 --> 0:06:48.939
<v Speaker 5>of scrimmage and passes behind the line of scrimmage often

0:06:48.979 --> 0:06:51.219
<v Speaker 5>to screen pass, you know, as often as possible here,

0:06:51.259 --> 0:06:54.099
<v Speaker 5>because I truly believe that is the way forward for

0:06:54.299 --> 0:06:57.459
<v Speaker 5>this game. I do actually think Dalton Kincaid will have

0:06:57.459 --> 0:07:00.419
<v Speaker 5>at least three receptions as well. Also, anyone with the

0:07:00.459 --> 0:07:03.259
<v Speaker 5>initials DK that's a tight end for them is a

0:07:03.299 --> 0:07:06.619
<v Speaker 5>candidate for a touch down to sold has lots of

0:07:06.779 --> 0:07:08.539
<v Speaker 5>lots of goodness all around.

0:07:08.259 --> 0:07:10.859
<v Speaker 4>So it should be this guy and or that guy

0:07:11.219 --> 0:07:13.259
<v Speaker 4>just and and I love.

0:07:13.139 --> 0:07:15.939
<v Speaker 3>The naming parallels all around the NFL.

0:07:16.019 --> 0:07:17.819
<v Speaker 2>Last one, I will take it over two hundred and

0:07:17.819 --> 0:07:21.419
<v Speaker 2>ten passing yards more likely for Josh Allen or bow Knicks.

0:07:21.819 --> 0:07:24.259
<v Speaker 2>I will say that I've been convinced by Cynthia Freeland.

0:07:24.299 --> 0:07:27.299
<v Speaker 2>I will go bow Nicks as I believe the Buffalo

0:07:27.339 --> 0:07:30.539
<v Speaker 2>Bills are going to be short yardage and around the

0:07:30.579 --> 0:07:31.939
<v Speaker 2>line of scrimmage for most of the game.

0:07:32.139 --> 0:07:34.619
<v Speaker 3>Perhaps bow Knicks will Obviously the.

0:07:34.579 --> 0:07:37.099
<v Speaker 2>Screen game will be heavily features as it is in

0:07:37.139 --> 0:07:39.059
<v Speaker 2>most of these Denver Broncos games, but maybe it's some

0:07:39.099 --> 0:07:43.019
<v Speaker 2>opportunities to challenge the Bills downfield with some of these

0:07:43.139 --> 0:07:44.139
<v Speaker 2>larger pass catches.

0:07:44.219 --> 0:07:46.939
<v Speaker 5>Let me ask you some really important questions. Okaya more

0:07:47.059 --> 0:07:49.219
<v Speaker 5>rushing yards? Josh Allen or bo Nicks?

0:07:50.419 --> 0:07:50.659
<v Speaker 3>Ool?

0:07:51.019 --> 0:07:51.979
<v Speaker 5>It's a great question.

0:07:52.019 --> 0:07:53.699
<v Speaker 4>I mean, is that the Bills to win and you're

0:07:53.699 --> 0:07:56.259
<v Speaker 4>going bow Knicks on through the air and you're thinking

0:07:56.259 --> 0:07:57.059
<v Speaker 4>about it on the ground.

0:07:57.059 --> 0:07:59.219
<v Speaker 5>How you're making me who has more rushing works?

0:07:59.379 --> 0:08:01.819
<v Speaker 4>It sounds like a man who switched this picker earlier today.

0:08:02.659 --> 0:08:07.499
<v Speaker 5>Answers Josh Allen, I know you feel like it's.

0:08:07.339 --> 0:08:09.539
<v Speaker 3>Gonna be a quite what we gotta get this way?

0:08:09.619 --> 0:08:10.099
<v Speaker 5>Man?

0:08:11.779 --> 0:08:13.659
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's just damn hooksdown fort.

0:08:14.179 --> 0:08:16.979
<v Speaker 5>Who can make a play hockey s random line?

0:08:17.339 --> 0:08:21.339
<v Speaker 6>A guy in patches a Fuckall's taken it to the

0:08:21.379 --> 0:08:22.699
<v Speaker 6>exist touchdown.

0:08:23.619 --> 0:08:26.099
<v Speaker 4>This game has taken quite a turn.

0:08:26.179 --> 0:08:27.459
<v Speaker 3>I thought this was a match up.

0:08:28.019 --> 0:08:30.099
<v Speaker 6>Miss mass fires near salth.

0:08:29.979 --> 0:08:31.259
<v Speaker 3>Going for the roll.

0:08:31.419 --> 0:08:33.659
<v Speaker 2>This pick off of the ens when you try me

0:08:33.699 --> 0:08:36.659
<v Speaker 2>what it's like, cratch, that's a result of ball game.

0:08:36.859 --> 0:08:39.019
<v Speaker 3>A lot made of Richard Sherman returning.

0:08:38.859 --> 0:08:42.019
<v Speaker 6>And let me a Touchdowy, howk.

0:08:43.339 --> 0:08:44.099
<v Speaker 4>Oh we got up?

0:08:44.259 --> 0:08:44.899
<v Speaker 3>That's all we need?

0:08:45.139 --> 0:08:48.419
<v Speaker 4>Jo jut Book, let's it.

0:08:48.499 --> 0:08:51.579
<v Speaker 6>He's gonna get sacked and gets intercepted by the Seahawks.

0:08:51.579 --> 0:08:53.659
<v Speaker 4>Seattle is gonna win this football game.

0:08:55.179 --> 0:08:57.819
<v Speaker 2>Time for Sees the season presented by a Caesar Sports Book.

0:08:57.819 --> 0:09:01.299
<v Speaker 2>As we look at this NFC West Rivalry playoff matchup

0:09:01.339 --> 0:09:03.539
<v Speaker 2>between the forty nine Ers and the Seahawks, your first

0:09:03.539 --> 0:09:07.099
<v Speaker 2>touchdown score or odds have Zach Charbonay and JSN leading

0:09:07.139 --> 0:09:09.779
<v Speaker 2>the way, with Christian McCaffrey in the middle, a CMC

0:09:09.899 --> 0:09:12.579
<v Speaker 2>sandwich because it's Keith's walking to the third, and aj

0:09:12.739 --> 0:09:17.099
<v Speaker 2>Barner rounding out that top five. Let's talk more about

0:09:17.139 --> 0:09:20.579
<v Speaker 2>this monster matchup in Seattle. The Seahawks beat the Niners

0:09:20.619 --> 0:09:23.059
<v Speaker 2>just two weeks ago in Santa Clara thirteen to three.

0:09:23.099 --> 0:09:25.899
<v Speaker 2>But Kyle Shanahan's been in the lab. There's beakers and

0:09:26.059 --> 0:09:29.019
<v Speaker 2>ingredients being mixed together, there's smoke coming out Sam Darnold

0:09:29.219 --> 0:09:33.179
<v Speaker 2>questionable with an oblique injury. Does that move your thoughts

0:09:33.339 --> 0:09:34.819
<v Speaker 2>or what do you see taking place in this game?

0:09:34.859 --> 0:09:36.939
<v Speaker 5>So I have Seattle winning, but by six points twenty

0:09:36.979 --> 0:09:39.579
<v Speaker 5>seven to twenty one. Of course if the oblique injury

0:09:39.739 --> 0:09:42.419
<v Speaker 5>makes him not play, things would be a little bit different.

0:09:42.459 --> 0:09:45.459
<v Speaker 5>But assuming that he's playing and just injured, twenty seven

0:09:45.539 --> 0:09:48.099
<v Speaker 5>to twenty one in this matchup. Because of the run game,

0:09:48.339 --> 0:09:51.339
<v Speaker 5>we saw Zach Charbonay be the only touchdown score in

0:09:51.579 --> 0:09:54.299
<v Speaker 5>last matchup, so in Week eighteen, he was the only

0:09:54.339 --> 0:09:56.499
<v Speaker 5>guy from either team that got in the end zone.

0:09:56.579 --> 0:09:57.979
<v Speaker 5>I don't really care about that as much as I

0:09:58.019 --> 0:10:00.219
<v Speaker 5>care about how efficient the duo of him and Kenneth

0:10:00.259 --> 0:10:03.099
<v Speaker 5>Walker happened to be third most in terms of forcing

0:10:03.179 --> 0:10:06.139
<v Speaker 5>mistackles on this season a bunch of yards, so like

0:10:06.179 --> 0:10:09.779
<v Speaker 5>over ninety percent of Sharbonay's yards have come after contact

0:10:09.979 --> 0:10:13.379
<v Speaker 5>seventy two percent for Kenneth Walker. Where they're being used

0:10:13.419 --> 0:10:15.819
<v Speaker 5>on the field a little bit different. Walker tends to

0:10:15.819 --> 0:10:17.859
<v Speaker 5>be the non red zone guy Sharbonnay in the red aer.

0:10:17.899 --> 0:10:20.819
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't really matter though, because ultimately what happens with

0:10:20.859 --> 0:10:23.979
<v Speaker 5>that will it helps Sam Donald from turning the ball over,

0:10:24.259 --> 0:10:26.979
<v Speaker 5>which that would be the path for the Niners to

0:10:27.059 --> 0:10:29.899
<v Speaker 5>upset this team, given how many pieces are missing from

0:10:29.899 --> 0:10:30.419
<v Speaker 5>the Niners.

0:10:30.659 --> 0:10:33.459
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's such a great divisional rivalry, but I think

0:10:33.459 --> 0:10:36.859
<v Speaker 4>of the rivalry having started back when Mike McDonald was

0:10:36.899 --> 0:10:40.099
<v Speaker 4>the coach of the Ravens. It helped him get this job.

0:10:40.219 --> 0:10:43.139
<v Speaker 4>I have the Seahawks winning this game nineteen to thirteen.

0:10:43.179 --> 0:10:45.259
<v Speaker 4>I really trust six points in the same as me. Yeah,

0:10:45.259 --> 0:10:49.099
<v Speaker 4>same as you. Defense of the Seattle Seahawks. It's absolutely

0:10:49.099 --> 0:10:51.779
<v Speaker 4>special nineteen thirteen because there's not going to be a

0:10:51.819 --> 0:10:53.539
<v Speaker 4>lot of scoring. If you think about that, that game

0:10:53.579 --> 0:10:55.499
<v Speaker 4>a couple of years ago helped Mike McDonald get this

0:10:55.619 --> 0:10:59.899
<v Speaker 4>job because he forced brock Perty into four interceptions back

0:10:59.979 --> 0:11:01.459
<v Speaker 4>a couple of years ago, and they said, this is

0:11:01.459 --> 0:11:03.379
<v Speaker 4>going to be the Shanahan killer. And you know what

0:11:03.619 --> 0:11:07.019
<v Speaker 4>he's done it. Every time Perty plays against this awesome defense,

0:11:07.499 --> 0:11:11.699
<v Speaker 4>the Seahawks make him play weirder. Week one, it was

0:11:11.739 --> 0:11:14.499
<v Speaker 4>the most pressured he's ever been in a single game

0:11:14.579 --> 0:11:16.579
<v Speaker 4>all season. Got a little lucky, I think, to get

0:11:16.579 --> 0:11:18.539
<v Speaker 4>that win, by the way. Total score of that game

0:11:18.859 --> 0:11:23.059
<v Speaker 4>thirty points. Week eighteen, he didn't throw a single pass

0:11:23.179 --> 0:11:26.099
<v Speaker 4>over twenty yards in the whole game, only time that

0:11:26.179 --> 0:11:28.819
<v Speaker 4>happened all season. I feel great about the Seahawks eight

0:11:28.859 --> 0:11:31.259
<v Speaker 4>feel even greater about that number being low. If you

0:11:31.259 --> 0:11:33.779
<v Speaker 4>add up the numbers of the two games that these

0:11:33.779 --> 0:11:35.459
<v Speaker 4>two teams have played this year, it adds up to

0:11:35.459 --> 0:11:37.699
<v Speaker 4>about forty six between two games. So I think it's

0:11:37.699 --> 0:11:39.379
<v Speaker 4>going to be a low score game and the Seahawks

0:11:39.419 --> 0:11:40.059
<v Speaker 4>defense wins.

0:11:40.379 --> 0:11:43.379
<v Speaker 2>I love what you guys have presented, and Broughton here

0:11:43.419 --> 0:11:45.339
<v Speaker 2>I disagree. I think the Loder Nuners win this game.

0:11:45.379 --> 0:11:47.699
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a three point win the San Franciscore

0:11:47.699 --> 0:11:49.099
<v Speaker 2>forty Niners twenty four to twenty one.

0:11:49.139 --> 0:11:50.699
<v Speaker 3>So I see way more points than Greg.

0:11:50.859 --> 0:11:53.219
<v Speaker 2>And I'm also looking back at that Week one game

0:11:53.299 --> 0:11:56.019
<v Speaker 2>because yeah, that man was playing in Week one and

0:11:56.059 --> 0:11:59.659
<v Speaker 2>didn't necessarily play through Trip Williams' best extent. And I

0:11:59.699 --> 0:12:03.579
<v Speaker 2>think sitting Trip Williams in that matchup that the last

0:12:03.579 --> 0:12:06.259
<v Speaker 2>matchup thease two teams had in the regular season, was

0:12:07.059 --> 0:12:07.899
<v Speaker 2>a great decision.

0:12:07.979 --> 0:12:08.539
<v Speaker 3>You lose the.

0:12:08.459 --> 0:12:11.499
<v Speaker 2>Game, you don't get a good opportunity to get home

0:12:11.539 --> 0:12:13.859
<v Speaker 2>field in the playoffs, but you will have Fritt Williams

0:12:13.939 --> 0:12:17.619
<v Speaker 2>back playing well. He's not playing to the full extent

0:12:17.659 --> 0:12:19.779
<v Speaker 2>where we expect Trent Williams to be able to execute.

0:12:19.899 --> 0:12:22.859
<v Speaker 2>There were some plays, in fact, a couple of pressures

0:12:22.859 --> 0:12:24.699
<v Speaker 2>that he gave up against the Philadelphia.

0:12:24.139 --> 0:12:26.379
<v Speaker 3>Eagles are also plays.

0:12:25.739 --> 0:12:29.059
<v Speaker 2>Where the pass rusher had no opportunity, and you can

0:12:29.099 --> 0:12:31.819
<v Speaker 2>get plays like this like Jake tanja Is making a

0:12:31.859 --> 0:12:34.779
<v Speaker 2>game winning catch against the Seattle Seahawks in Week one

0:12:34.819 --> 0:12:36.299
<v Speaker 2>because George Kittle was missing.

0:12:36.499 --> 0:12:37.659
<v Speaker 3>There's some parallels here.

0:12:37.819 --> 0:12:39.899
<v Speaker 2>I think Kyle Shanahan and the forty nine ers have

0:12:39.939 --> 0:12:42.499
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to get a win. Folks, seize the season.

<v Speaker 2>Let's get the odds to win Super Bowl sixty. According

0:12:58.579 --> 0:13:00.779
<v Speaker 2>to our friends at Caesars, the Seahawks leading the way,

0:13:00.819 --> 0:13:03.539
<v Speaker 2>followed up by the Rams, then the Patriots and the

0:13:03.539 --> 0:13:06.139
<v Speaker 2>Bills and the Broncos. You want to get towards the

0:13:06.259 --> 0:13:08.579
<v Speaker 2>longer shots, the Bears and the forty nine ers.

0:13:08.579 --> 0:13:11.899
<v Speaker 3>As we get to some more player props. It's time

0:13:11.979 --> 0:13:13.139
<v Speaker 3>for more or less.

0:13:13.219 --> 0:13:16.739
<v Speaker 2>We will apply our foam fingers and we will discuss

0:13:16.779 --> 0:13:20.099
<v Speaker 2>this Niner Seahawks game. Cynthia, one and a half passing

0:13:20.139 --> 0:13:21.739
<v Speaker 2>touchdowns for Sam Darnold.

0:13:21.979 --> 0:13:25.499
<v Speaker 5>More or less you have more in that one, which

0:13:25.539 --> 0:13:27.579
<v Speaker 5>is two. I mean it's not a ridiculous number. I

0:13:27.659 --> 0:13:29.579
<v Speaker 5>understand there weren't a lot of touchdown scores in this game,

0:13:29.619 --> 0:13:32.379
<v Speaker 5>and I love your argument, Greg for a lower scoring game,

0:13:32.699 --> 0:13:35.579
<v Speaker 5>but I don't necessarily think that will be the case.

0:13:35.739 --> 0:13:38.099
<v Speaker 5>I also like, we got to bring him up because

0:13:38.179 --> 0:13:41.339
<v Speaker 5>you know aj Barner, the barn Dog. He's gonna be

0:13:41.659 --> 0:13:44.259
<v Speaker 5>really important in this one. Yet again, he always likes

0:13:44.299 --> 0:13:46.579
<v Speaker 5>to be that red zone area threat. I just think

0:13:46.619 --> 0:13:48.779
<v Speaker 5>Shorter passed in the red area. And also Jackson Smith

0:13:48.819 --> 0:13:51.019
<v Speaker 5>and Jigbo are breaking a deep pass, which is something

0:13:51.059 --> 0:13:53.259
<v Speaker 5>you can do against the Niners. They give up a

0:13:53.299 --> 0:13:55.779
<v Speaker 5>lot of yards too deep passes. So I don't know,

0:13:56.179 --> 0:13:58.739
<v Speaker 5>I'm going it says more or less whatever.

0:13:59.219 --> 0:14:01.179
<v Speaker 4>I love that you said you love my argument, and

0:14:01.219 --> 0:14:03.219
<v Speaker 4>then he just took up part of my argument and

0:14:03.299 --> 0:14:06.459
<v Speaker 4>totally disagree with that was the point. She doesn't love

0:14:06.499 --> 0:14:08.299
<v Speaker 4>the argument. No, Well, there's gonna be points.

0:14:08.379 --> 0:14:10.139
<v Speaker 2>She loved the argument because she feels like the argument

0:14:10.179 --> 0:14:10.939
<v Speaker 2>has a glass jaw.

0:14:11.139 --> 0:14:14.779
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she's Harrymakers. You've got a rock fight, Greg.

0:14:14.859 --> 0:14:17.259
<v Speaker 2>So let's put Christian McCaffery at fifty five and a

0:14:17.299 --> 0:14:18.579
<v Speaker 2>half rushing yards more or low.

0:14:18.739 --> 0:14:21.139
<v Speaker 4>I'm going less on this one because, look, he has

0:14:21.259 --> 0:14:24.059
<v Speaker 4>not been able to get going on the ground consistently

0:14:24.259 --> 0:14:26.179
<v Speaker 4>all year long. I don't think it's about him. I

0:14:26.179 --> 0:14:27.899
<v Speaker 4>think it's about the offensive line. I think it's about

0:14:27.899 --> 0:14:29.699
<v Speaker 4>the team that he's going against. I mean, look against

0:14:29.739 --> 0:14:32.899
<v Speaker 4>the Eagles, similarly tough last week, about three yards per Carrie.

0:14:33.299 --> 0:14:37.899
<v Speaker 4>This Seahawks front Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy. There's a

0:14:37.979 --> 0:14:40.779
<v Speaker 4>real case to be made that the two of them

0:14:41.059 --> 0:14:43.579
<v Speaker 4>could have just been the defensive tackle All Pros, maybe

0:14:43.579 --> 0:14:46.379
<v Speaker 4>second team. But those two guys next to each other

0:14:46.699 --> 0:14:48.819
<v Speaker 4>are the All Pros. And then you have DeMarcus Lawrence,

0:14:48.819 --> 0:14:51.939
<v Speaker 4>who's a great run stopping edge. Just so many tough

0:14:51.979 --> 0:14:54.979
<v Speaker 4>players up front. I think they overwhelm the forty nine

0:14:55.059 --> 0:14:57.179
<v Speaker 4>ers run game like they did a few weeks ago.

0:14:57.259 --> 0:14:57.979
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, run game.

0:14:57.979 --> 0:15:00.259
<v Speaker 2>That says you said, it's been overwhelmed all season by

0:15:00.299 --> 0:15:00.819
<v Speaker 2>a lot of folks.

0:15:00.819 --> 0:15:02.419
<v Speaker 3>It's a really good rush defense.

0:15:02.419 --> 0:15:05.019
<v Speaker 2>I'll go to Jackson Smith and Jibba at ninety three

0:15:05.299 --> 0:15:07.139
<v Speaker 2>receiving yards.

0:15:06.699 --> 0:15:09.579
<v Speaker 3>And I will go more here, more or less very binary.

0:15:09.699 --> 0:15:10.979
<v Speaker 3>So let's do some more math.

0:15:11.259 --> 0:15:14.339
<v Speaker 2>Me doing the math, which is very dangerous. He's got

0:15:14.379 --> 0:15:17.299
<v Speaker 2>oney seven hundred and ninety three receiving yards. Sam Donald

0:15:17.299 --> 0:15:20.259
<v Speaker 2>has four thousand and forty eight passing yards. That's forty

0:15:20.299 --> 0:15:24.019
<v Speaker 2>four percent of Sam Donald's passing yards in twenty twenty

0:15:24.019 --> 0:15:26.619
<v Speaker 2>five have gone to Jackson Smith and Jigbu. So with

0:15:26.699 --> 0:15:29.459
<v Speaker 2>that math, I think I think he hits the relatively

0:15:29.579 --> 0:15:32.619
<v Speaker 2>pedestrian by his standards number of ninety three. Let's go

0:15:32.659 --> 0:15:35.259
<v Speaker 2>back to Cynthia Freeland Well Brock perty have more or

0:15:35.339 --> 0:15:38.299
<v Speaker 2>less than two hundred and twenty nine passing yards.

0:15:38.379 --> 0:15:41.139
<v Speaker 5>Well, given my score is a little upsided, I think

0:15:41.179 --> 0:15:43.299
<v Speaker 5>it's more not because I think it's going to be

0:15:43.339 --> 0:15:46.139
<v Speaker 5>super deep passes. I don't even know exactly who it's

0:15:46.139 --> 0:15:48.139
<v Speaker 5>two because as the time of this recording, we don't

0:15:48.139 --> 0:15:49.579
<v Speaker 5>know if Ricky Piersoll is going to play. But we

0:15:49.659 --> 0:15:52.779
<v Speaker 5>did see those twenty plus air yarders. That is something, Greg,

0:15:52.979 --> 0:15:55.539
<v Speaker 5>Another great point you made, my friend, Oh wow, he

0:15:55.579 --> 0:15:58.019
<v Speaker 5>didn't complete one of them in the Week eighteen matchup.

0:15:58.059 --> 0:16:00.019
<v Speaker 5>But I do think he completes at least one in

0:16:00.059 --> 0:16:02.139
<v Speaker 5>this one, especially if they get Ricky piersonll back. Oh

0:16:02.339 --> 0:16:07.219
<v Speaker 5>rip to you know who George Kittle's season, because we

0:16:07.259 --> 0:16:08.899
<v Speaker 5>just saw him catch one of those deep passes. But

0:16:09.099 --> 0:16:12.659
<v Speaker 5>there are other guys to catch the ball, Tanjes Dick Tanjas.

0:16:12.299 --> 0:16:13.739
<v Speaker 3>I speaking of other guys that catch the ball.

0:16:13.779 --> 0:16:16.579
<v Speaker 2>These Sea Hawks went and got Rashid Shaheed at a

0:16:16.619 --> 0:16:18.819
<v Speaker 2>trade deadline, but the number is very low because he

0:16:18.859 --> 0:16:21.899
<v Speaker 2>hasn't done too much Greg twenty three receiving yards, what

0:16:21.979 --> 0:16:23.579
<v Speaker 2>do you think the speedy guy on the ear.

0:16:23.779 --> 0:16:27.579
<v Speaker 4>I love a Rashid Jaheed big play. He only needs

0:16:27.619 --> 0:16:30.139
<v Speaker 4>one catch to get over twenty three and a half

0:16:30.339 --> 0:16:33.619
<v Speaker 4>receiving yards against a team that doesn't provide a lot

0:16:33.659 --> 0:16:36.379
<v Speaker 4>of passsh pressure, and so that gives Sam Donald a

0:16:36.459 --> 0:16:38.819
<v Speaker 4>chance to do what he does best. I was looking

0:16:38.859 --> 0:16:41.819
<v Speaker 4>at some deep passing numbers for Drake May for this

0:16:41.979 --> 0:16:44.899
<v Speaker 4>very show. There's a spoiler alert, a tease for what's

0:16:44.979 --> 0:16:47.939
<v Speaker 4>coming later. Oh and you know who is maybe the

0:16:47.939 --> 0:16:50.419
<v Speaker 4>only quarterback who had a higher completion percentage on those

0:16:50.459 --> 0:16:53.539
<v Speaker 4>deep throws. Sam Donald. That's what he can do, and

0:16:53.699 --> 0:16:57.059
<v Speaker 4>Rashid Shahed among the all time NFL leaders in like

0:16:57.219 --> 0:17:00.019
<v Speaker 4>average length of touchdown when he gets the ball in

0:17:00.059 --> 0:17:02.619
<v Speaker 4>his hands, it usually is going for thirty or forty.

0:17:02.659 --> 0:17:05.419
<v Speaker 4>So if you want to feel alive on Saturday night,

0:17:05.459 --> 0:17:07.859
<v Speaker 4>you take this one. And it could happen at any

0:17:07.899 --> 0:17:10.139
<v Speaker 4>time in the game. You just see that ball just

0:17:10.179 --> 0:17:12.699
<v Speaker 4>floating through the air. Who is on the other side

0:17:12.699 --> 0:17:14.619
<v Speaker 4>of it, it's probably Shahed. If this is gonna be

0:17:14.659 --> 0:17:16.739
<v Speaker 4>alive till the final minutes of the game, even if

0:17:16.739 --> 0:17:17.779
<v Speaker 4>he has no catches.

0:17:17.539 --> 0:17:19.619
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there you are. You could be in pain for.

0:17:19.539 --> 0:17:21.979
<v Speaker 5>Four hours or all. It takes this one.

0:17:22.179 --> 0:17:25.019
<v Speaker 3>All you did, just one. I will take one. One more.

0:17:25.099 --> 0:17:28.179
<v Speaker 3>Juwan Jennings three and a half receptions. I will go

0:17:28.299 --> 0:17:28.699
<v Speaker 3>more here.

0:17:29.339 --> 0:17:31.179
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't have anything to do with catches, but he's

0:17:31.219 --> 0:17:33.739
<v Speaker 2>the only wide receiver in the history of the NFL

0:17:33.939 --> 0:17:38.339
<v Speaker 2>with multiple touchdown passes. There were also speaking of multiple

0:17:38.379 --> 0:17:41.499
<v Speaker 2>multiple times where Kyle Juschek was locked up outline. He

0:17:41.539 --> 0:17:44.539
<v Speaker 2>actually got a couple of targets there. They need Juwan Jennings,

0:17:44.859 --> 0:17:47.779
<v Speaker 2>So I think he's gonna get four catches in this one.

0:17:47.859 --> 0:17:50.699
<v Speaker 3>A great game which we are all looking forward.

0:17:50.419 --> 0:17:53.659
<v Speaker 4>To let it be known, Juwan Jennings more than three

0:17:53.699 --> 0:17:57.819
<v Speaker 4>and a half. Thank you, Thank you, Greg, give me

0:17:57.859 --> 0:18:00.339
<v Speaker 4>a reference. Shelby Harris is out there watching.

0:18:02.259 --> 0:18:05.579
<v Speaker 2>Also, Yes, there's deep beats between both of these teams.

0:18:06.059 --> 0:18:10.299
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps we'll get a great post game Seahawks Niners quote

0:18:10.579 --> 0:18:14.059
<v Speaker 2>once again right wing the extra tight end out there

0:18:14.299 --> 0:18:17.419
<v Speaker 2>with a play fake, drinking a deep drup slides to.

0:18:21.819 --> 0:18:24.259
<v Speaker 4>Touch up Patriots.

0:18:24.379 --> 0:18:34.579
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking about look at flakes, the tag foot cutter,

0:18:34.659 --> 0:18:36.939
<v Speaker 3>Henry on a little little fly.

0:18:36.939 --> 0:18:40.059
<v Speaker 5>Crop till upside and it's up with this play up.

0:18:40.099 --> 0:18:42.779
<v Speaker 2>Fos Zolak telling the radio audience to look at this

0:18:42.819 --> 0:18:44.739
<v Speaker 2>place never gets old. The Patriots playing host of the

0:18:44.779 --> 0:18:48.219
<v Speaker 2>Texans Sunday afternoon. Houston got their first road playoff win

0:18:48.299 --> 0:18:51.419
<v Speaker 2>in franchise history last week in Pittsburgh, but could be

0:18:51.659 --> 0:18:54.739
<v Speaker 2>without star receiver Nico Collins, who's in the concussion protocol

0:18:54.819 --> 0:18:58.019
<v Speaker 2>after that brutal collision with the turf coming last weekend.

0:18:58.019 --> 0:18:58.939
<v Speaker 3>How do you see this game going?

0:18:58.979 --> 0:19:01.259
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think that's a really important loss for the

0:19:01.299 --> 0:19:03.979
<v Speaker 4>Texans that helped me to pick the Patriots. I have

0:19:04.059 --> 0:19:06.579
<v Speaker 4>the winning this game. I now see the numbers down

0:19:06.619 --> 0:19:09.939
<v Speaker 4>to three. There have the Texans thread that needle if

0:19:09.939 --> 0:19:11.699
<v Speaker 4>you catch my drift here. But either way, I like

0:19:11.739 --> 0:19:15.059
<v Speaker 4>the Patriots to win this game because Drake May throws

0:19:15.099 --> 0:19:17.939
<v Speaker 4>the ball deep better than anyone in the NFL. And

0:19:17.979 --> 0:19:22.339
<v Speaker 4>if there's one problem that this Texans secondary has had occasionally,

0:19:22.379 --> 0:19:26.699
<v Speaker 4>it's miscommunications giving up some big plays both their safeties.

0:19:26.939 --> 0:19:30.059
<v Speaker 4>Some of the cornerbacks not named Derek Stingley or usually

0:19:30.139 --> 0:19:33.579
<v Speaker 4>Kamari Lassiter gives up a big throw and look, Drake

0:19:33.659 --> 0:19:37.499
<v Speaker 4>May has the most yards per attempt while under pressure,

0:19:37.579 --> 0:19:40.539
<v Speaker 4>so many of them deep down the field to Kaishan Boody.

0:19:40.779 --> 0:19:43.379
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes it's the tight ends like Austin Hooper and Hunter

0:19:43.419 --> 0:19:46.779
<v Speaker 4>Henry most yards per attempt under pressure of any quarterback

0:19:46.859 --> 0:19:50.699
<v Speaker 4>in four years. So yeah, they're gonna win up front, Houston.

0:19:50.939 --> 0:19:54.099
<v Speaker 4>But Drake May is used to this. His pressure numbers

0:19:54.099 --> 0:19:56.899
<v Speaker 4>for a team that's this good is almost unheard of,

0:19:57.139 --> 0:19:59.459
<v Speaker 4>so he's had a whole regular season to get used

0:19:59.459 --> 0:20:01.059
<v Speaker 4>to being under pressure in delivery.

0:20:01.579 --> 0:20:03.419
<v Speaker 5>I love it. Well, you have them threw in the needle.

0:20:03.539 --> 0:20:05.939
<v Speaker 5>I two have Houston threading the needle. I of New

0:20:05.939 --> 0:20:08.819
<v Speaker 5>England winning twenty two to twenty in this matchup. I

0:20:08.819 --> 0:20:12.219
<v Speaker 5>want to highlight Hunter Henry here, because my whole practicy

0:20:12.259 --> 0:20:15.259
<v Speaker 5>for this game is whichever quarterback is willing to take

0:20:15.299 --> 0:20:18.259
<v Speaker 5>with the defense gives them best is the one that wins.

0:20:18.299 --> 0:20:20.579
<v Speaker 5>And what I've seen from Drake May is that you

0:20:20.619 --> 0:20:22.819
<v Speaker 5>talk about those deep balls. Those are wonderful. That's great

0:20:22.939 --> 0:20:25.819
<v Speaker 5>the defense does you know he's under pressure, we get it.

0:20:25.859 --> 0:20:28.619
<v Speaker 5>But he's also willing to make the second and third reads.

0:20:28.779 --> 0:20:30.739
<v Speaker 5>He's not forcing things downfield.

0:20:30.979 --> 0:20:31.259
<v Speaker 4>C J.

0:20:31.379 --> 0:20:34.779
<v Speaker 5>Stroud sometimes has a tendency to force things downfield without

0:20:34.859 --> 0:20:37.379
<v Speaker 5>Nico Collins. Even if there is no Christian Gonzales in

0:20:37.419 --> 0:20:40.179
<v Speaker 5>this matchup, it is still not a great idea to

0:20:40.259 --> 0:20:43.939
<v Speaker 5>force anything downfield against any defense, let alone the Patriots.

0:20:43.979 --> 0:20:46.419
<v Speaker 5>So I'm just saying, who's willing to leverage their tight

0:20:46.539 --> 0:20:48.739
<v Speaker 5>end better? Who's willing to leverage their second and third

0:20:48.779 --> 0:20:51.739
<v Speaker 5>read better? My Matt says easily, Drake May.

0:20:51.979 --> 0:20:52.659
<v Speaker 3>I'm with you, guys.

0:20:52.699 --> 0:20:55.299
<v Speaker 2>I think the Patriots score in the twenties, and that's

0:20:55.299 --> 0:20:57.299
<v Speaker 2>when I think the Houston Texans I'll score more.

0:20:57.499 --> 0:20:59.699
<v Speaker 3>I've got a two twenty three win. The Patriot's going

0:20:59.739 --> 0:21:00.699
<v Speaker 3>to score because that's what they do.

0:21:01.019 --> 0:21:03.339
<v Speaker 2>Drake May gets buckets. To get those buckets, he holds

0:21:03.379 --> 0:21:05.739
<v Speaker 2>onto the ball to when allows receivers to get downfield.

0:21:05.739 --> 0:21:09.059
<v Speaker 2>But the problem is when you're holding on to the ball,

0:21:09.339 --> 0:21:14.099
<v Speaker 2>you've got these long, fast edge rushers, including Daneil Hunter.

0:21:14.899 --> 0:21:18.339
<v Speaker 2>He and Anderson had fifty two percent of the team's pressures,

0:21:18.379 --> 0:21:19.859
<v Speaker 2>the second highest rate.

0:21:20.019 --> 0:21:24.139
<v Speaker 3>Since twenty eighteen. Going all the way back to twenty eighteen.

0:21:23.859 --> 0:21:27.939
<v Speaker 2>No duo has had the percentage of pressures and also

0:21:28.059 --> 0:21:30.819
<v Speaker 2>opportunities to get the ball out. We've assembled all of

0:21:30.859 --> 0:21:34.179
<v Speaker 2>these plays of Daneil Hunter having the quarterback fumble the ball.

0:21:34.219 --> 0:21:38.179
<v Speaker 2>We saw Drake made do that last week against the Chargers.

0:21:38.459 --> 0:21:41.779
<v Speaker 2>Now we've got the plus version of the Chargers defense

0:21:41.819 --> 0:21:44.219
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty five Houston Texans. So let's do some

0:21:44.299 --> 0:21:47.139
<v Speaker 2>math on this matchup. Cynthia, will c. J. Stroud throw

0:21:47.219 --> 0:21:49.459
<v Speaker 2>for more or less than two hundred and ten yards

0:21:49.459 --> 0:21:50.659
<v Speaker 2>against the Patriots defense.

0:21:50.659 --> 0:21:52.699
<v Speaker 5>I have around two hundred and thirty yards for him,

0:21:52.739 --> 0:21:54.979
<v Speaker 5>so that is more than two hundred and ten by

0:21:55.059 --> 0:21:59.259
<v Speaker 5>about ten percent there, so that's not a tiny amount. More.

0:21:59.459 --> 0:22:02.539
<v Speaker 5>I'm looking at the opportunity here to play from behind

0:22:02.579 --> 0:22:05.979
<v Speaker 5>and target some of those other receivers not named Nico Collins.

0:22:06.179 --> 0:22:08.659
<v Speaker 5>I'm looking at you Christian Kirk. I'm looking at the

0:22:08.699 --> 0:22:12.059
<v Speaker 5>opportunity there if there is no Christian Gonzales to make

0:22:12.219 --> 0:22:15.179
<v Speaker 5>use of that situation. So two hundred and thirty, don't

0:22:15.219 --> 0:22:17.579
<v Speaker 5>go crazy, But about two hundred and thirty, yeah.

0:22:17.459 --> 0:22:19.299
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of looking for things, we were looking for the

0:22:19.299 --> 0:22:20.259
<v Speaker 2>Remandree doubters.

0:22:20.299 --> 0:22:21.819
<v Speaker 3>They're a lot more difficult to find.

0:22:22.179 --> 0:22:24.419
<v Speaker 2>But I means so Trevion hasn't had the opportunities is

0:22:24.459 --> 0:22:26.099
<v Speaker 2>to get more than thirty eight rushing.

0:22:26.259 --> 0:22:27.619
<v Speaker 4>I mean a lot of those doubters are in the

0:22:27.619 --> 0:22:30.939
<v Speaker 4>stands at Foxborough. They were booing him earlier this season.

0:22:31.379 --> 0:22:33.419
<v Speaker 4>This running game has really turned it around. I think

0:22:33.419 --> 0:22:37.699
<v Speaker 4>Travion Henderson goes over thirty eight and a half rushing yards.

0:22:37.859 --> 0:22:42.219
<v Speaker 4>Look Will Campbell, he might have trouble pass protecting him

0:22:42.219 --> 0:22:44.179
<v Speaker 4>and Jared Wilson on the left side of that line.

0:22:44.299 --> 0:22:48.739
<v Speaker 4>They are a dynamite, athletic run blocking group that's really improved.

0:22:48.779 --> 0:22:50.899
<v Speaker 4>I think it's the number one way the Patriots are

0:22:50.899 --> 0:22:53.699
<v Speaker 4>better now than they were earlier in the season. And

0:22:53.779 --> 0:22:56.739
<v Speaker 4>Travion Henderson maybe last week it was kind of an

0:22:56.819 --> 0:22:58.979
<v Speaker 4>ugly sort of game where you're beating up on a

0:22:59.099 --> 0:23:02.579
<v Speaker 4>lighter Chargers team. Today in this weekend's game. You need

0:23:02.619 --> 0:23:05.979
<v Speaker 4>some athleticism. That's Trevion Anderson with some plays down the field,

0:23:06.019 --> 0:23:07.259
<v Speaker 4>maybe just one big one.

0:23:07.179 --> 0:23:10.539
<v Speaker 5>Thirty nine yards. That's like a If you've watched this show,

0:23:10.619 --> 0:23:13.139
<v Speaker 5>we talk a lot about Blake Koram's numbers being kind

0:23:13.139 --> 0:23:16.059
<v Speaker 5>of ridiculously low. That's a Blake Korham number right there,

0:23:16.099 --> 0:23:16.659
<v Speaker 5>and I do.

0:23:16.539 --> 0:23:19.619
<v Speaker 4>Think they could be going back to speaking of numbers,

0:23:20.299 --> 0:23:23.979
<v Speaker 4>speaking numberrands should be a little worried because this man

0:23:24.059 --> 0:23:27.899
<v Speaker 4>right here is twenty one and twelve when he does straybah.

0:23:28.059 --> 0:23:30.699
<v Speaker 4>So you're on an island here with the Texans, but

0:23:30.739 --> 0:23:32.499
<v Speaker 4>you've been on fire when you're on your nine.

0:23:32.499 --> 0:23:35.219
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's regular season number. This is the second season. Okay,

0:23:35.939 --> 0:23:37.539
<v Speaker 3>it's an entirely different proposition.

0:23:37.979 --> 0:23:40.659
<v Speaker 6>Check to the left side numbers, snap back four man

0:23:40.739 --> 0:23:43.299
<v Speaker 6>rush caterble a double bof, drove down up.

0:23:43.179 --> 0:23:44.539
<v Speaker 5>Side like DJ Dords on the.

0:23:44.459 --> 0:23:49.539
<v Speaker 6>Five end zones, touchdown touchdown Bears. They've taken the lead

0:23:49.619 --> 0:23:52.979
<v Speaker 6>on the Packers. Now rolling r like moving up way

0:23:53.059 --> 0:23:56.019
<v Speaker 6>in the heat. Still moving up now we pros to

0:23:56.099 --> 0:23:59.139
<v Speaker 6>the end zone and it's drove cinder shops to drive by.

0:23:59.179 --> 0:23:59.699
<v Speaker 3>Don't matter.

0:23:59.979 --> 0:24:02.979
<v Speaker 6>Game is over, Game is over the Bears a cup

0:24:03.219 --> 0:24:06.339
<v Speaker 6>all the way behind, and they beat the green Backpackers

0:24:06.619 --> 0:24:32.939
<v Speaker 6>thirty one twenty sevens hell yeah.

0:24:23.819 --> 0:24:25.499
<v Speaker 3>To his first playoff win.

0:24:33.899 --> 0:24:37.259
<v Speaker 2>Good better, I never let it run.

0:24:37.379 --> 0:24:37.899
<v Speaker 3>Get better?

0:24:38.859 --> 0:24:39.619
<v Speaker 1>Better, get better?

0:24:41.419 --> 0:24:48.059
<v Speaker 2>Don't incredible comeback by the Bears and Ben Johnson's shirt

0:24:48.139 --> 0:24:50.939
<v Speaker 2>last week. Now they've got Matthew Stafford and the Rams

0:24:50.979 --> 0:24:53.259
<v Speaker 2>coming to town. The weather could get down to two

0:24:53.299 --> 0:24:57.259
<v Speaker 2>degrees on Sunday night. Do the Bears have any magic left, Cynthia?

0:24:57.379 --> 0:24:59.099
<v Speaker 5>I think I got magic. I just don't think they

0:24:59.139 --> 0:25:01.019
<v Speaker 5>win the game. I have the Rams winning twenty seven

0:25:01.059 --> 0:25:03.819
<v Speaker 5>to twenty one, a six point win for Matthew Stafford.

0:25:04.299 --> 0:25:07.179
<v Speaker 5>I loved watching how excited the Bears gotten there. Certainly

0:25:07.179 --> 0:25:08.699
<v Speaker 5>not out of it at any point, but they are

0:25:08.739 --> 0:25:11.259
<v Speaker 5>winning in low probability ways. When you're relying on fourth

0:25:11.299 --> 0:25:14.019
<v Speaker 5>and anything, that is a tough way to go. Where

0:25:14.099 --> 0:25:17.579
<v Speaker 5>is Matthew Stafford a guy who's your probable MVP tither

0:25:17.619 --> 0:25:20.219
<v Speaker 5>him or Drake May Why? Because all season long has

0:25:20.259 --> 0:25:23.819
<v Speaker 5>just been a model of consistency, consistently great, and in fact,

0:25:23.939 --> 0:25:27.259
<v Speaker 5>he's had a career of consistently great. He's also had

0:25:27.299 --> 0:25:29.259
<v Speaker 5>a lot of fourth quarter comebacks and they didn't all

0:25:29.299 --> 0:25:31.579
<v Speaker 5>happen in one season too. So when I'm looking at

0:25:31.579 --> 0:25:35.259
<v Speaker 5>the opportunity here, I'm talking about Matthew Stafford against the Blitz. Okay,

0:25:35.419 --> 0:25:37.299
<v Speaker 5>if they're going to try, it's not like the Bears

0:25:37.299 --> 0:25:39.899
<v Speaker 5>are getting a ton of pressure. Matthew Stafford figuring out

0:25:39.899 --> 0:25:43.499
<v Speaker 5>ways to get DeVante Adams and mismatches also seems like

0:25:43.539 --> 0:25:45.739
<v Speaker 5>a good idea. And then there's always pokin Akua, who

0:25:45.739 --> 0:25:48.899
<v Speaker 5>I didn't even mention. That's a huge, massive deal in

0:25:48.939 --> 0:25:51.579
<v Speaker 5>this matchup. Sorry, hythem. Our producer is a big Bears fan.

0:25:51.699 --> 0:25:54.179
<v Speaker 4>Well you didn't mention. And this is teamwork.

0:25:54.219 --> 0:25:55.819
<v Speaker 5>Well that's why, because I'll pick it up.

0:25:56.299 --> 0:26:00.619
<v Speaker 4>Look, the weather could be an equalizer, but pokin Akua

0:26:00.619 --> 0:26:03.699
<v Speaker 4>doesn't go down the field to make big yards. He

0:26:03.739 --> 0:26:06.939
<v Speaker 4>doesn't need to because he's gonna make you miss your tackle.

0:26:07.019 --> 0:26:11.579
<v Speaker 4>Twenty eight misstackles force on the season, leading the NFL.

0:26:11.779 --> 0:26:15.499
<v Speaker 4>How about four hundred yards after contact? That is the

0:26:15.499 --> 0:26:19.499
<v Speaker 4>most that Next Gen Stats has measured that since twenty eighteen.

0:26:19.739 --> 0:26:22.979
<v Speaker 4>How about the most yards in motion? The whole offense

0:26:23.179 --> 0:26:26.779
<v Speaker 4>is really built around Pookinakua in motion. It's the most

0:26:26.819 --> 0:26:30.219
<v Speaker 4>any receiver has had in terms of yardage wall in

0:26:30.299 --> 0:26:34.059
<v Speaker 4>motion of any guy in the next gen stats era,

0:26:34.139 --> 0:26:38.499
<v Speaker 4>There's literally never been anyone who's doing it like Pukinakua

0:26:38.539 --> 0:26:40.979
<v Speaker 4>is doing it right now. He is as dominant a

0:26:41.019 --> 0:26:43.819
<v Speaker 4>wide receiver force as you can possibly have. And then

0:26:43.859 --> 0:26:46.939
<v Speaker 4>you obviously add a great quarterback and good parts around him,

0:26:46.979 --> 0:26:49.579
<v Speaker 4>including DeVante Adams and those tight ends, and you can

0:26:49.579 --> 0:26:52.539
<v Speaker 4>build an offense on a guy that should work in

0:26:52.619 --> 0:26:55.459
<v Speaker 4>any weather, so that scores high. And I hear that

0:26:55.619 --> 0:26:58.259
<v Speaker 4>zero degrees and maybe the score should come down just

0:26:58.299 --> 0:27:00.139
<v Speaker 4>a little bit. But either way, I actually like the

0:27:00.219 --> 0:27:03.659
<v Speaker 4>Rams to win comfortably because I think if it gets

0:27:03.699 --> 0:27:06.619
<v Speaker 4>close and weird, that's where the Bears are dangerous. So

0:27:06.659 --> 0:27:08.619
<v Speaker 4>the way to pick the Rams to win is to

0:27:08.659 --> 0:27:09.539
<v Speaker 4>just make it easier.

0:27:09.739 --> 0:27:11.859
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that the Bears are dangerous the whole time.

0:27:11.939 --> 0:27:14.019
<v Speaker 2>They've been able to make things close and weird, especially

0:27:14.019 --> 0:27:15.179
<v Speaker 2>with their ability to score.

0:27:15.179 --> 0:27:16.659
<v Speaker 3>I think they score, they score big.

0:27:16.739 --> 0:27:19.419
<v Speaker 2>I think the Rams get a small, a slight one

0:27:19.459 --> 0:27:22.419
<v Speaker 2>point when at home in a score fest. And here's

0:27:22.419 --> 0:27:25.419
<v Speaker 2>how it happens, because you look back last week at

0:27:25.419 --> 0:27:28.139
<v Speaker 2>this Rams secondary there were seven catches for sixty three

0:27:28.219 --> 0:27:31.779
<v Speaker 2>yards on targets that went in Quinton Lake's direction, and

0:27:31.819 --> 0:27:35.379
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't just him. The entire Rams secondary has some

0:27:35.499 --> 0:27:37.459
<v Speaker 2>size matchup issues.

0:27:37.099 --> 0:27:38.979
<v Speaker 3>That I think the Bears are able to exploit.

0:27:39.019 --> 0:27:41.619
<v Speaker 2>And I know the Bears have that score fest with

0:27:41.699 --> 0:27:45.259
<v Speaker 2>the run game playing spectacular against the forty nine ers,

0:27:45.259 --> 0:27:47.499
<v Speaker 2>but it was almost all through the air. I think

0:27:47.539 --> 0:27:50.259
<v Speaker 2>it could be a similar proposition and these teams going

0:27:50.379 --> 0:27:51.819
<v Speaker 2>up and down a cold field.

0:27:51.819 --> 0:27:52.899
<v Speaker 3>But yes, I did check.

0:27:52.939 --> 0:27:54.859
<v Speaker 2>The temperature is going to be ninety eight point six

0:27:55.099 --> 0:27:58.299
<v Speaker 2>on average inside the bodies of all the players taking part.

0:27:58.339 --> 0:28:00.179
<v Speaker 2>So I think the cold weather will be annoying for

0:28:00.259 --> 0:28:03.779
<v Speaker 2>everybody involved, but everybody will be hopefully. Okay, let's get

0:28:03.779 --> 0:28:06.859
<v Speaker 2>some play props between the Rams and the Bears. According

0:28:06.899 --> 0:28:08.939
<v Speaker 2>to our friends at Caesar's, Matthew Stafford sitting at two

0:28:08.979 --> 0:28:12.139
<v Speaker 2>and a half passing touchdowns ninety eight point five, one

0:28:12.179 --> 0:28:15.499
<v Speaker 2>below that average for Pooka Nakoa, Kyraen Williams at sixty

0:28:15.499 --> 0:28:17.979
<v Speaker 2>one and a half rushing yards, Caleb Williams at two

0:28:18.059 --> 0:28:20.499
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty one and a half total yards, and

0:28:20.619 --> 0:28:23.699
<v Speaker 2>Colston Lovelin at fifty five and a half receiving yards.

0:28:23.699 --> 0:28:27.139
<v Speaker 2>So let's go to this guy or that guy who

0:28:27.179 --> 0:28:30.059
<v Speaker 2>gets more than fifty five receiving yards in this game,

0:28:30.139 --> 0:28:32.739
<v Speaker 2>is a DeVante Adams or Colston Loveland's.

0:28:32.539 --> 0:28:35.019
<v Speaker 5>Look at it, Colston Loveland in this matchup. Note that's

0:28:35.019 --> 0:28:36.979
<v Speaker 5>not to say Devonte Adams will score, but he can

0:28:37.019 --> 0:28:38.659
<v Speaker 5>score off of like a two yard pass, so it

0:28:38.699 --> 0:28:40.899
<v Speaker 5>doesn't even matter on that. He'll still be very effective

0:28:40.899 --> 0:28:43.739
<v Speaker 5>and efficient. But Colston Loveland has taken that step forward.

0:28:43.779 --> 0:28:46.779
<v Speaker 5>You saw it against the Packers. He was the passing offense.

0:28:46.979 --> 0:28:48.979
<v Speaker 5>He was the number one, read the number two. He

0:28:49.059 --> 0:28:52.699
<v Speaker 5>was just basically everything that you know Sam Laporta was

0:28:52.779 --> 0:28:55.299
<v Speaker 5>to the Detroit offense at times when Ben Johnson was

0:28:55.419 --> 0:28:57.899
<v Speaker 5>architecting that. And now I think he's actually going to

0:28:57.939 --> 0:29:00.859
<v Speaker 5>even be better than Sam Laporta. Maybe not this you know,

0:29:00.979 --> 0:29:04.419
<v Speaker 5>particular game, but going forward kind of in hisjectory of

0:29:04.459 --> 0:29:07.059
<v Speaker 5>his career. So I'm looking at Loveland two again be

0:29:07.219 --> 0:29:10.219
<v Speaker 5>the path forward. And you mentioned some mismatches with size

0:29:10.219 --> 0:29:14.139
<v Speaker 5>to the secondary to the Rams Loveland two, so that's

0:29:14.179 --> 0:29:15.459
<v Speaker 5>a good And by the way, he's played in the

0:29:15.499 --> 0:29:16.459
<v Speaker 5>cold too, went to Michigan.

0:29:16.579 --> 0:29:17.099
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there we go.

0:29:17.179 --> 0:29:20.339
<v Speaker 2>He's got experience with mul Timper sixty or more rushing

0:29:20.419 --> 0:29:22.979
<v Speaker 2>yards for Kyra Williams or DeAndre Swiftgregg.

0:29:23.339 --> 0:29:26.339
<v Speaker 4>Yes, but you have to choose this guy or that

0:29:26.419 --> 0:29:28.859
<v Speaker 4>guyes So I will go Kyra and Williams, I think

0:29:28.899 --> 0:29:31.019
<v Speaker 4>because I think they can be playing with the league.

0:29:31.139 --> 0:29:33.659
<v Speaker 4>They had one of the highest success rates in the

0:29:33.739 --> 0:29:37.459
<v Speaker 4>league in terms of team basis, and Kyrin Williams was

0:29:37.499 --> 0:29:39.979
<v Speaker 4>even higher than they were as a team on average.

0:29:39.979 --> 0:29:42.139
<v Speaker 4>These are actually two of the best running teams in

0:29:42.179 --> 0:29:44.659
<v Speaker 4>the league, and I think two defenses that are more

0:29:44.779 --> 0:29:47.579
<v Speaker 4>vulnerable on the ground as a defense than they even

0:29:47.659 --> 0:29:51.139
<v Speaker 4>are through the air. The difference is Kyron Williams against

0:29:51.179 --> 0:29:53.939
<v Speaker 4>this Bears team, like their success rate allowed was one

0:29:53.939 --> 0:29:56.139
<v Speaker 4>of the worst of any defenses in the league, whereas

0:29:56.179 --> 0:29:59.259
<v Speaker 4>the Rams are definitely better in terms of their run defense.

0:29:59.339 --> 0:30:01.779
<v Speaker 5>Karen Williams also played in Indiana, which is a state

0:30:01.979 --> 0:30:03.459
<v Speaker 5>over from Illinois.

0:30:03.459 --> 0:30:06.459
<v Speaker 4>Side there, they've got the cold weather gab. But now

0:30:06.499 --> 0:30:08.219
<v Speaker 4>he's been in a dome and he didn't get you.

0:30:08.499 --> 0:30:11.339
<v Speaker 4>But they played in Philadelphia playoffs.

0:30:11.539 --> 0:30:14.259
<v Speaker 5>I'm okay. I like to complain about the cold weather,

0:30:14.339 --> 0:30:16.779
<v Speaker 5>but like you knows, I'm still okay in cold weather.

0:30:16.819 --> 0:30:19.299
<v Speaker 2>And that's why you have a Texas quarterback that went

0:30:19.339 --> 0:30:22.579
<v Speaker 2>to Georgia, but did go to Michigan although he played inside,

0:30:22.819 --> 0:30:26.139
<v Speaker 2>does the cold weather adjacent magic powers and he is

0:30:26.219 --> 0:30:28.099
<v Speaker 2>one of the number one overall picks playing in this game.

0:30:28.499 --> 0:30:31.379
<v Speaker 2>I will discuss here more than thirty four passing attempts

0:30:31.419 --> 0:30:31.779
<v Speaker 2>in the game.

0:30:32.059 --> 0:30:34.939
<v Speaker 3>Stafford or Kayleb Williams. I will go Stafford.

0:30:34.979 --> 0:30:38.019
<v Speaker 2>I think they both hit that number as we all

0:30:38.219 --> 0:30:40.499
<v Speaker 2>have a relatively high scoring game. I've got the highest

0:30:41.059 --> 0:30:44.059
<v Speaker 2>scoring game here, but I think the Rams able to,

0:30:44.139 --> 0:30:46.059
<v Speaker 2>you know, get all of these drop backs, and not

0:30:46.099 --> 0:30:49.459
<v Speaker 2>necessarily that Ben Johnson doesn't trust Caleb Williams.

0:30:49.499 --> 0:30:50.299
<v Speaker 3>But if Matthew.

0:30:50.059 --> 0:30:51.779
<v Speaker 2>Stafford would like to pass the ball, I think Matthew

0:30:51.779 --> 0:30:55.459
<v Speaker 2>Stafford does, and Sean mcvayzon Rocket tell him that.

0:30:55.459 --> 0:30:57.619
<v Speaker 3>Hey, stop throwing the ball. Kyle's being great.

0:30:57.659 --> 0:31:01.179
<v Speaker 2>No, Stafford's gonna throw and get thirty four passing attempts

0:31:01.179 --> 0:31:03.179
<v Speaker 2>In what I think will be a score fest coming up,

0:31:04.259 --> 0:31:06.259
<v Speaker 2>We're running through all four divisional round.

0:31:06.139 --> 0:31:08.939
<v Speaker 3>Games and giving you our picks for who's gonna light

0:31:09.099 --> 0:31:10.139
<v Speaker 3>up the stat sheet.

0:31:10.139 --> 0:31:14.019
<v Speaker 2>We're talking yards on yards on yards in arguably the

0:31:14.019 --> 0:31:16.739
<v Speaker 2>best football weekend of the year.

0:31:16.899 --> 0:31:19.939
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, because it's this weekend. Buckle up, we'll be

0:31:20.059 --> 0:31:31.139
<v Speaker 3>right back on game debut time for over under.

0:31:31.219 --> 0:31:34.419
<v Speaker 2>As we've reacquired our foam fingers, which were actually confiscated

0:31:34.419 --> 0:31:36.459
<v Speaker 2>earlier because we've played with them too much. We're gonna

0:31:36.459 --> 0:31:39.819
<v Speaker 2>put up some scenarios and let you know how we feel. First,

0:31:39.859 --> 0:31:43.339
<v Speaker 2>we'll Caleb and Stafford throw for over or under four

0:31:43.379 --> 0:31:45.339
<v Speaker 2>and a half combined touchdowns.

0:31:45.339 --> 0:31:45.859
<v Speaker 3>We already know.

0:31:45.939 --> 0:31:48.099
<v Speaker 2>I believe it's a score fest. I think they hit

0:31:48.139 --> 0:31:48.699
<v Speaker 2>that number.

0:31:49.899 --> 0:31:51.939
<v Speaker 3>Make it easy. Three for Stafford, two for Caleb, and

0:31:52.099 --> 0:31:52.659
<v Speaker 3>you're there, Drick.

0:31:53.859 --> 0:31:56.179
<v Speaker 4>You couldn't be more there. I mean, say no to

0:31:56.259 --> 0:31:58.819
<v Speaker 4>this would be like, oh, is Santa Claus gonna come

0:31:58.859 --> 0:32:01.819
<v Speaker 4>with presidents this year? Like who is rooting against them

0:32:01.939 --> 0:32:03.779
<v Speaker 4>throwing for a ton of yards two of the most

0:32:03.779 --> 0:32:05.339
<v Speaker 4>exciting quarterbacks in.

0:32:05.299 --> 0:32:08.299
<v Speaker 5>The NFL rooting for it? Or thinking that it's more

0:32:08.419 --> 0:32:10.939
<v Speaker 5>likely because I think it's more likely that they use

0:32:10.979 --> 0:32:15.659
<v Speaker 5>as passing touchdowns. The rushing touchdown numbers matter too, right,

0:32:15.979 --> 0:32:19.179
<v Speaker 5>So you're just gonna have six touchdowns. I think if

0:32:19.259 --> 0:32:22.339
<v Speaker 5>I go back to your score, it feels like, I

0:32:22.379 --> 0:32:23.819
<v Speaker 5>don't know, maybe you miss it in there, though, I'm

0:32:23.819 --> 0:32:25.819
<v Speaker 5>just saying some of them could be on the ground too.

0:32:25.899 --> 0:32:29.499
<v Speaker 4>It's okay, So she doesn't like presents for kids or

0:32:29.619 --> 0:32:31.419
<v Speaker 4>presence for us. On Sunday night.

0:32:31.499 --> 0:32:34.619
<v Speaker 2>My present was the accusation that Greg is not logically.

0:32:34.299 --> 0:32:36.859
<v Speaker 3>Consistent with his thoughts about next one.

0:32:36.939 --> 0:32:39.699
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what will there be more than six

0:32:39.739 --> 0:32:43.419
<v Speaker 2>and a half combined sacks in the Texans Patriots showdown?

0:32:43.659 --> 0:32:46.979
<v Speaker 2>I've got the over on that one, and it's not

0:32:47.019 --> 0:32:48.419
<v Speaker 2>to take a negative view.

0:32:48.659 --> 0:32:49.819
<v Speaker 3>I think we've got an.

0:32:49.739 --> 0:32:52.459
<v Speaker 2>Offensive line that had some issues in protection and a

0:32:52.939 --> 0:32:55.739
<v Speaker 2>quarterback that likes them takes some chances against a very

0:32:55.779 --> 0:32:56.459
<v Speaker 2>good pass rush.

0:32:56.499 --> 0:32:57.419
<v Speaker 3>I think they hit that number.

0:32:57.979 --> 0:33:00.339
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Theise are two quarterbacks that have both taken a

0:33:00.339 --> 0:33:02.899
<v Speaker 4>lot of sacks in their young career, like Drake May

0:33:03.419 --> 0:33:05.979
<v Speaker 4>maybe that's his big weakness that in some forced almost

0:33:06.019 --> 0:33:09.339
<v Speaker 4>they're not often like long sacks. If you look at

0:33:09.379 --> 0:33:12.179
<v Speaker 4>the average length of Drake May sax, he's almost always

0:33:12.179 --> 0:33:14.499
<v Speaker 4>climbing up in the pocket. Then he'll just like duck

0:33:14.579 --> 0:33:16.139
<v Speaker 4>down and take a one or two yard lost. But

0:33:16.179 --> 0:33:18.859
<v Speaker 4>that counts for this total and as great as the

0:33:18.899 --> 0:33:22.659
<v Speaker 4>Texans pass rushes, and I am going over here, keep

0:33:22.699 --> 0:33:25.459
<v Speaker 4>an eye on Milton Williams and Kristen Barmore and all

0:33:25.539 --> 0:33:28.939
<v Speaker 4>their pressure and calebon Chase on. You got Harold Landry

0:33:28.939 --> 0:33:32.339
<v Speaker 4>out there. This is an underrated Patriots defensive line. And

0:33:32.379 --> 0:33:33.739
<v Speaker 4>you know what, we haven't heard a lot about the

0:33:33.859 --> 0:33:38.059
<v Speaker 4>last few weeks the Texans offensive line. Just what do

0:33:38.099 --> 0:33:40.659
<v Speaker 4>you think they've solved their problems? They're going to pop

0:33:40.779 --> 0:33:42.379
<v Speaker 4>up in a bad way this week.

0:33:42.539 --> 0:33:45.019
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm just the grump over here, or maybe I'm

0:33:45.259 --> 0:33:47.179
<v Speaker 5>maybe I'm the happy one here because I don't know

0:33:47.179 --> 0:33:49.699
<v Speaker 5>if quarterbacks would like to be sacked. But I'm looking

0:33:49.739 --> 0:33:52.899
<v Speaker 5>at this and to me, it's because they play a

0:33:52.979 --> 0:33:55.099
<v Speaker 5>really good defense in practice. They have a lot of

0:33:55.179 --> 0:33:58.539
<v Speaker 5>quick solutions and quick answers to things. So I'm not

0:33:58.579 --> 0:34:00.579
<v Speaker 5>suggesting that there won't be a lot of pressure. I'm

0:34:00.619 --> 0:34:03.019
<v Speaker 5>just I'm looking at that sack number at seven, and

0:34:03.059 --> 0:34:05.459
<v Speaker 5>that is a high number. I could be correct with

0:34:05.579 --> 0:34:07.019
<v Speaker 5>just six sacks, just to.

0:34:06.979 --> 0:34:10.339
<v Speaker 2>Re fair, Yeah, and sit there is correct most of

0:34:10.379 --> 0:34:13.219
<v Speaker 2>the time. So when you get there last one, well,

0:34:13.299 --> 0:34:15.699
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen came up and have more than thirty seven

0:34:15.899 --> 0:34:18.259
<v Speaker 2>rushing yards against the Denver Broncos.

0:34:18.299 --> 0:34:21.339
<v Speaker 3>That number feels low because it's Josh Allen.

0:34:21.619 --> 0:34:25.099
<v Speaker 2>I think if he's getting seven on a sneak, maybe

0:34:25.179 --> 0:34:29.099
<v Speaker 2>there's a couple scrambles in their fourth quarter run as

0:34:29.139 --> 0:34:31.779
<v Speaker 2>well designed run perhaps as they need him too correct

0:34:31.779 --> 0:34:32.419
<v Speaker 2>and I think.

0:34:32.259 --> 0:34:33.019
<v Speaker 3>He hits that number.

0:34:33.139 --> 0:34:36.819
<v Speaker 4>See I thought their regular running game with Ray Davis

0:34:36.859 --> 0:34:39.059
<v Speaker 4>and James Cook was going to be so good. I

0:34:39.059 --> 0:34:42.019
<v Speaker 4>actually went under for this one. I'm influenced a little

0:34:42.059 --> 0:34:44.859
<v Speaker 4>bit by the fact that Josh Allen went to the

0:34:44.859 --> 0:34:48.059
<v Speaker 4>medical tent last week for about four different injuries. Like

0:34:48.179 --> 0:34:50.659
<v Speaker 4>each time he went in like something else was wrong,

0:34:50.939 --> 0:34:53.299
<v Speaker 4>So maybe he won't need to run it as much.

0:34:53.539 --> 0:34:56.139
<v Speaker 4>It'll be about quality, not quantity. He goes like four

0:34:56.179 --> 0:34:56.939
<v Speaker 4>for thirty.

0:34:56.699 --> 0:35:00.979
<v Speaker 5>One mean make you yeah, I'm buying this all though,

0:35:01.059 --> 0:35:03.659
<v Speaker 5>to forty five yard This is the This is not

0:35:03.779 --> 0:35:06.299
<v Speaker 5>like a game where this is in Week eighteen, folks.

0:35:06.299 --> 0:35:08.819
<v Speaker 5>This is the divisional round. They want to go to

0:35:09.139 --> 0:35:12.059
<v Speaker 5>the opportunity to play in the AFC Championship Game. So

0:35:12.379 --> 0:35:14.139
<v Speaker 5>Josh Allen's likes have been one of the most consistent

0:35:14.179 --> 0:35:17.019
<v Speaker 5>things about this Bill's offense, just period, full stop. And

0:35:17.339 --> 0:35:19.699
<v Speaker 5>as good as the Broncos are at stopping the run,

0:35:19.899 --> 0:35:22.539
<v Speaker 5>they're a little bit more generous to quarterbacks when they

0:35:22.619 --> 0:35:25.099
<v Speaker 5>run against them. So I think, like I said, I'd

0:35:25.099 --> 0:35:26.139
<v Speaker 5>buy this up to forty five.

0:35:26.739 --> 0:35:29.699
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm with you. The idea that it's like, oh,

0:35:29.779 --> 0:35:30.819
<v Speaker 2>you know, let's say, John.

0:35:30.739 --> 0:35:32.619
<v Speaker 3>We don't need you to run Josh save in it.

0:35:32.739 --> 0:35:35.619
<v Speaker 4>Just you know, you've got James Cook to do everything

0:35:35.819 --> 0:35:36.179
<v Speaker 4>so far.

0:35:36.339 --> 0:35:39.219
<v Speaker 3>Let's leave that. We go to some quick picks here.

0:35:39.619 --> 0:35:43.219
<v Speaker 2>On game days, we took a total look, a summary

0:35:43.259 --> 0:35:44.339
<v Speaker 2>look at all the games this week.

0:35:44.339 --> 0:35:46.579
<v Speaker 3>He projects stat leaders. Starting with the quarterback.

0:35:46.939 --> 0:35:50.379
<v Speaker 2>We think that will pass for the most yards. Cynthia

0:35:50.379 --> 0:35:52.499
<v Speaker 2>and I like Matthew Stafford, but you're going off the

0:35:52.499 --> 0:35:52.939
<v Speaker 2>board here.

0:35:53.219 --> 0:35:55.139
<v Speaker 4>I am going off the board. I'm gonna be as

0:35:55.179 --> 0:35:57.779
<v Speaker 4>accurate throwing that thing as c J. Stroud will be

0:35:57.979 --> 0:35:58.979
<v Speaker 4>this weekend. Look.

0:35:59.059 --> 0:35:59.339
<v Speaker 5>C J.

0:35:59.419 --> 0:36:02.859
<v Speaker 4>Strout's coming off a game where everyone is criticizing him

0:36:03.139 --> 0:36:07.419
<v Speaker 4>because they couldn't get the shotgun snap right. I know

0:36:07.459 --> 0:36:10.179
<v Speaker 4>it's a weird butt, but the other snaps of the

0:36:10.219 --> 0:36:12.819
<v Speaker 4>game he looked good. And I do think of all

0:36:12.859 --> 0:36:16.579
<v Speaker 4>the defenses playing this weekend. You know, San Francisco certainly

0:36:16.579 --> 0:36:19.339
<v Speaker 4>has its vulnerabilities, but in the back end, I think

0:36:19.379 --> 0:36:21.899
<v Speaker 4>the Patriots, Carlton Davis could give up some big plays,

0:36:21.899 --> 0:36:25.139
<v Speaker 4>some of their safety play, their rookie Woodson could give

0:36:25.219 --> 0:36:26.499
<v Speaker 4>up big plays. I think they could be in a

0:36:26.539 --> 0:36:29.379
<v Speaker 4>situation where the Texans are coming back in this game,

0:36:29.379 --> 0:36:32.219
<v Speaker 4>and I actually think this could be a high yardage

0:36:32.259 --> 0:36:34.539
<v Speaker 4>game for CJ Stroud in a game where they can't

0:36:34.539 --> 0:36:35.539
<v Speaker 4>get it going on the ground.

0:36:35.739 --> 0:36:37.939
<v Speaker 5>Is this with or without Nico Collins? Like, do you need?

0:36:38.059 --> 0:36:41.899
<v Speaker 4>Is there an asterisk like Nico Collins to miss this game?

0:36:41.939 --> 0:36:45.339
<v Speaker 4>I'm actually serious Kristin Gonzales to play this game based

0:36:45.379 --> 0:36:48.019
<v Speaker 4>on him being at practice, just just scarious. CJ is

0:36:48.019 --> 0:36:49.779
<v Speaker 4>going to show everyone that.

0:36:50.299 --> 0:36:52.019
<v Speaker 5>He doesn't need his wide out one and he could

0:36:52.019 --> 0:36:53.339
<v Speaker 5>throw for all the yards.

0:36:53.619 --> 0:36:55.059
<v Speaker 4>I mean a couple of years ago he kind of

0:36:55.179 --> 0:36:58.219
<v Speaker 4>was the drake me that the next like guy, I

0:36:58.219 --> 0:36:59.219
<v Speaker 4>think he'll have a good game.

0:36:59.339 --> 0:37:03.499
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the highlight package there did prominently feature Nico Collins

0:37:03.539 --> 0:37:06.859
<v Speaker 2>again our best yes number one. Why now, whether it's

0:37:06.899 --> 0:37:10.059
<v Speaker 2>not the plays great season for Miko Collins. Looking back

0:37:10.259 --> 0:37:12.539
<v Speaker 2>at the running backs who we think will run for

0:37:12.539 --> 0:37:14.579
<v Speaker 2>the most yards this round, Greg and I think it's

0:37:14.659 --> 0:37:17.419
<v Speaker 2>James Cook, But simply you're also going off the board.

0:37:17.819 --> 0:37:19.859
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm gonna go with Woody Marks here kind of

0:37:19.899 --> 0:37:22.339
<v Speaker 5>for the reason that the opposite reason of you, because

0:37:22.539 --> 0:37:26.659
<v Speaker 5>I'm not given DJ Shroud time to get mauled by

0:37:26.699 --> 0:37:29.099
<v Speaker 5>that defensive front that you talked about for the sacks.

0:37:29.139 --> 0:37:32.059
<v Speaker 5>And also we saw Woody Marx have kind of a

0:37:32.139 --> 0:37:34.579
<v Speaker 5>take a pretty big step forward in this being able

0:37:34.619 --> 0:37:37.779
<v Speaker 5>to get like explosive runs there against the Steelers. Now,

0:37:37.779 --> 0:37:40.579
<v Speaker 5>I understand is a little bit different when you're playing

0:37:40.899 --> 0:37:43.939
<v Speaker 5>the Patriots defense. However, I just think they're going to

0:37:44.019 --> 0:37:46.699
<v Speaker 5>want to keep it in a ball control mode, let

0:37:46.739 --> 0:37:49.739
<v Speaker 5>their defense win the game. How do you do that? Well,

0:37:49.859 --> 0:37:52.139
<v Speaker 5>you shorter passes, you use Woody Marx, and I think

0:37:52.139 --> 0:37:54.659
<v Speaker 5>that he could have the opportunity to really just have

0:37:54.699 --> 0:37:57.619
<v Speaker 5>the most yards as you know, of all, you're just

0:37:57.659 --> 0:37:59.459
<v Speaker 5>asking you one question, who's out the most yards?

0:37:59.499 --> 0:38:02.259
<v Speaker 4>Nothing like having a career high for the rookie in a.

0:38:02.219 --> 0:38:06.819
<v Speaker 2>Playoff Yeah, you're first playoff game water performance from Windy

0:38:06.899 --> 0:38:09.459
<v Speaker 2>marks last one. Who's gonna be the top receiver this weekend?

0:38:09.539 --> 0:38:12.779
<v Speaker 2>Greg's going with JSN, but Cynthia and I are going with.

0:38:12.779 --> 0:38:13.619
<v Speaker 3>Puka and Nikula.

0:38:14.059 --> 0:38:16.139
<v Speaker 2>Everything to do with what I finel will be an

0:38:16.179 --> 0:38:17.859
<v Speaker 2>electrifying game script for both teams.

0:38:17.859 --> 0:38:19.499
<v Speaker 3>I think they're gonna be going up and down.

0:38:19.939 --> 0:38:23.259
<v Speaker 2>The field and who's gonna have the most receiving yards.

0:38:22.979 --> 0:38:24.699
<v Speaker 3>In a game that's going up and down the field

0:38:24.779 --> 0:38:27.379
<v Speaker 3>with the Rams playing, probably Puka Nakula.

0:38:27.539 --> 0:38:29.539
<v Speaker 2>So, Cynthia, I think Pooka has a shot to have

0:38:29.539 --> 0:38:30.979
<v Speaker 2>a decent game, you know, just.

0:38:30.979 --> 0:38:33.699
<v Speaker 5>A decent game. We're only he only has like a

0:38:33.699 --> 0:38:36.659
<v Speaker 5>few decent games this season, just kidding, just so you

0:38:36.699 --> 0:38:38.899
<v Speaker 5>have it. I have both Puka and Jackson Smith in

0:38:38.979 --> 0:38:42.259
<v Speaker 5>Jigba with over one hundred yards, so it's not like

0:38:42.299 --> 0:38:45.219
<v Speaker 5>you're picking between one and three here, it's one A

0:38:45.299 --> 0:38:45.659
<v Speaker 5>and one B.

0:38:45.939 --> 0:38:48.419
<v Speaker 4>Also, I feel like Puka has now spent a month

0:38:48.539 --> 0:38:52.099
<v Speaker 4>in my mental penalty box after appearing to ruin their

0:38:52.139 --> 0:38:55.419
<v Speaker 4>season by getting on a live stream that he regretted.

0:38:55.699 --> 0:38:59.339
<v Speaker 4>Since then, they've won a playoff game, He's had monster performances.

0:38:59.499 --> 0:39:02.499
<v Speaker 4>I can no longer punish him for what happened. He's

0:39:02.499 --> 0:39:03.499
<v Speaker 4>making it happen on the field.

0:39:03.539 --> 0:39:06.179
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and hopefully that regret was with regards to the

0:39:06.219 --> 0:39:09.539
<v Speaker 2>decisions and not people talking about, uh the decision.

0:39:09.539 --> 0:39:11.619
<v Speaker 3>When we come back, get a pin and a pad.

0:39:11.739 --> 0:39:14.419
<v Speaker 2>It is time to write this down. We are dishing

0:39:14.419 --> 0:39:16.219
<v Speaker 2>out our juiciest player.

0:39:16.379 --> 0:39:17.779
<v Speaker 3>Rocks off the wig, Cynth.

0:39:18.339 --> 0:39:21.259
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't ready for reducing the and I nailed ours

0:39:21.339 --> 0:39:21.859
<v Speaker 2>last week.

0:39:22.379 --> 0:39:25.019
<v Speaker 3>We can't be stopped. Step it up, Greg, you got

0:39:25.019 --> 0:39:26.219
<v Speaker 3>some playoff catching up to do.

0:39:26.299 --> 0:39:28.099
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back here in a few on game dot.

0:39:28.179 --> 0:39:38.219
<v Speaker 2>You time to write this down. Let's get to some

0:39:38.299 --> 0:39:41.019
<v Speaker 2>prop prediction for the divisional round. Kick it off for

0:39:41.099 --> 0:39:43.019
<v Speaker 2>a screg What should the people take note?

0:39:43.179 --> 0:39:45.939
<v Speaker 4>Oh, they should always be taking note of Booty. I

0:39:45.979 --> 0:39:49.179
<v Speaker 4>mean you called me out and I'm gonna respond in kind.

0:39:49.259 --> 0:39:52.779
<v Speaker 4>Kaish On Booty over thirty one and a half receiving

0:39:52.859 --> 0:39:56.779
<v Speaker 4>yards against the Texans. Do you remember back last season's

0:39:56.859 --> 0:40:00.739
<v Speaker 4>Kashan Booty taking Derek Stingley Junior deep in Drake Bay's

0:40:00.739 --> 0:40:03.659
<v Speaker 4>first ever start. Remember like, oh, oh, they can't start

0:40:03.739 --> 0:40:06.859
<v Speaker 4>Draking that's not fair against his first NFL start against

0:40:06.859 --> 0:40:09.539
<v Speaker 4>the Texans, Stephens, that's not fair. You can't bring him out.

0:40:09.539 --> 0:40:11.779
<v Speaker 4>Then all he did was light him up in the loss,

0:40:11.819 --> 0:40:15.419
<v Speaker 4>but looked pretty good and he helped Kaisean Boody beat

0:40:15.459 --> 0:40:17.539
<v Speaker 4>an all pro down the field. He's gonna do it again.

0:40:18.019 --> 0:40:19.659
<v Speaker 5>I loved her. Who are your personally?

0:40:19.779 --> 0:40:19.859
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:40:19.939 --> 0:40:22.579
<v Speaker 4>All the people that week where it's like, oh, that's mismanagement,

0:40:22.619 --> 0:40:25.139
<v Speaker 4>that's cruel to play a rookie against the Texans for

0:40:25.179 --> 0:40:26.979
<v Speaker 4>the first time, and it was the day I knew

0:40:27.059 --> 0:40:28.939
<v Speaker 4>Drake May would be the truth.

0:40:29.139 --> 0:40:30.539
<v Speaker 5>I like that you wagged your finger at us, and

0:40:30.579 --> 0:40:33.339
<v Speaker 5>I'll wag our finger at Blake Koram having at least

0:40:33.379 --> 0:40:36.739
<v Speaker 5>forty four rushing yards until the number catches up. I'm

0:40:36.739 --> 0:40:38.739
<v Speaker 5>just gonna keep going back to the Blake Korum well

0:40:38.739 --> 0:40:41.499
<v Speaker 5>and hit me well last weekend. For whatever reason, the

0:40:41.539 --> 0:40:44.019
<v Speaker 5>market doesn't like to adjust for his usage because we

0:40:44.099 --> 0:40:46.179
<v Speaker 5>talked about how explosive he is. We talked about the

0:40:46.259 --> 0:40:48.659
<v Speaker 5>opportunity against the Bears, all of those things, and yet

0:40:48.739 --> 0:40:51.059
<v Speaker 5>still the number is criminally low.

0:40:51.939 --> 0:40:54.419
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at another low number because Greg was talking

0:40:54.419 --> 0:40:56.339
<v Speaker 2>about the twenty three All you need is one catch

0:40:57.259 --> 0:41:00.139
<v Speaker 2>for Rashid Shahed in that game. I'm looking over at

0:41:00.219 --> 0:41:02.259
<v Speaker 2>r J Harvey. The number is eighteen and a half

0:41:02.459 --> 0:41:05.979
<v Speaker 2>receiving yards against the Bills. Last week I had Etn

0:41:06.099 --> 0:41:07.179
<v Speaker 2>hit his number.

0:41:07.019 --> 0:41:09.939
<v Speaker 3>Almost through midway through the first quarter. I think r J.

0:41:10.019 --> 0:41:11.219
<v Speaker 3>Harvey gets there early as well.

0:41:11.499 --> 0:41:14.499
<v Speaker 5>Surrey don't want to switch over to the Bronco sage

0:41:14.499 --> 0:41:14.699
<v Speaker 5>with me.

0:41:15.139 --> 0:41:16.939
<v Speaker 3>I may I reserve.

0:41:17.459 --> 0:41:19.019
<v Speaker 4>The show is ending intent.

0:41:21.459 --> 0:41:23.699
<v Speaker 2>People with the knowledge that I may switch my pick

0:41:23.819 --> 0:41:26.059
<v Speaker 2>for Greg Girls Dolls, hit the freelan On, Patrick Claybon.
