Speaker 3: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Wright Episode ninety five
Speaker 3: On a glorious NFL Monday, it doesn't get better than
Speaker 3: yesterday for me in the NFL, I mean the AFC
Speaker 3: wes the toughest division in the astray of football. Well,
Speaker 3: the Broncos, thinking they lost the Raiders are total embarrassment.
Speaker 3: They lost to TV analysts. The Chargers I actually think
Speaker 3: are dangerous, but they lost again. They're too banged up. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: the Chiefs Coast and bigger picture, all those mighty buffalo builds.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, so much to get to, including maybe the
Speaker 3: single greatest gambling moment of my life. The only way
Speaker 3: yesterday could have been better is if my son was
Speaker 3: there to share it with me. However, Demanse had a
Speaker 3: little staycation, got a little spot up in the what
Speaker 3: are the the what are those mountains called? About an
Speaker 3: hour and a half north of New York. Uh, someone
Speaker 3: will tell me. I forget the name of it. It's
Speaker 3: a beautiful spot. That lady come in from out of town,
Speaker 3: the cat Skills. That's right, matt Ford. So Demanse, fresh
Speaker 3: off a night's little staycation in the New York City area,
Speaker 3: here to work. Good to see you, buddy, net You
Speaker 3: know what you want to show the evolution of our
Speaker 3: working relationship. Never once doubt it checked on you where
Speaker 3: you were at, worried about you not getting here? Not
Speaker 3: a single moment of like, h, when's the mon taking
Speaker 3: to get here? I knew he had a bit of
Speaker 3: a drive to get down to the studio, no problem.
Speaker 3: So let's get to what's not. By the way, that's
Speaker 3: a lie. I was furiously checking your local No, I'm
Speaker 3: just kidding. I believed in you, all right. Let's get
Speaker 3: right to what missed the cut for today's show, Lakers
Speaker 3: Beat the Nets. Anthony Davis looked like Anthony Davis from
Speaker 3: a few years ago. Embiid, This is not a hyperb
Speaker 3: is not hyperbole. Joel Embiid had one of the greatest
Speaker 3: regular season games anyone's had in the history of the sport.
Speaker 3: He had. He was two assists and three blocks away
Speaker 3: from a quadruple nobble and had fifty nine points by
Speaker 3: game scorer, which is basketball references kind of catch all statistic.
Speaker 3: It was one of the ten best games regular season
Speaker 3: or postseason anyone has played in the league in forty years. Wow,
Speaker 3: that's what Joel Embiid did last night. Not on the show,
Speaker 3: Roger Goodell says, four more years of games in Germany.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's in the show or not. Demas,
Speaker 3: I told you about the flight. I told you about
Speaker 3: the time change with the Seahawks. Yeah, and you were
Speaker 3: still sleeping when that game kicked off. Seattle actually got
Speaker 3: it together at the end, but you know what they
Speaker 3: looked like, like they were sleepy, Like the time change
Speaker 3: had really messed with him, I told you. And then
Speaker 3: a quarterback controversy in Arizona. Oh, I'm so mad that
Speaker 3: we weren't able to do picks once it was clear
Speaker 3: it was going to be both backup quarterbacks. Now, I
Speaker 3: did make a bet yesterday on the Cardinals plus three,
Speaker 3: and the Cardinals went out right because they were both
Speaker 3: both starting quarterbacks were out Stafford and Kyler, and the
Speaker 3: Cardinals hate Kyler, so I at least it appears that way.
Speaker 3: So none of that is actually on the show. But
Speaker 3: what is on the show today is well, go ahead, demonse.
Speaker 4: The Vikings Bill's possible Super Bowl preview was the game
Speaker 4: of the year so far.
Speaker 3: It was the game of the year. The Bill showed question.
Speaker 4: Bill choked away the game and are now third place
Speaker 4: in their own division dirt.
Speaker 3: Wait, you mean the conference right in their own division
Speaker 3: in the AFC's there's only four teams. Yeah, they're in third.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, gracious magic Mountain.
Speaker 4: Allen had one of the weirdest fumbles ever in his
Speaker 4: own end zone and at the end of regulation the
Speaker 4: game ended when he threw an interception in the Vikings
Speaker 4: in the Vikings end zone and overtime finished the game
Speaker 4: with three turnovers despite throwing for three hundred and thirty
Speaker 4: yards and eighty four rushing. Those have now lost two
Speaker 4: straight games and continue to prove that they can't win
Speaker 4: close games. Is it time to start asking if Josh
Speaker 4: Allen can win big games.
Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of questions we need to ask.
Speaker 3: Here's the first question. When am I getting my apology?
Speaker 3: When are they're going I need apologies or resignations from
Speaker 3: fellow media members that said I was the biased, one
Speaker 3: that said I was the one who refused to acknowledge
Speaker 3: that that guy who leads the NFL on interceptions, who
Speaker 3: leads the NFL in total turnovers, who leads the NFL
Speaker 3: in interception to mumbles, combined that that guy was the
Speaker 3: best quarterback in football. Give me a break.
Speaker 4: I have a question. Yeah, do you think that Josh
Speaker 4: Allen has Not to say that you were going to
Speaker 4: compare him to Patrick Malomes or anything, but would you
Speaker 4: say that Josh Allen has like a better surrounding cast
Speaker 4: than Patrick Wells this year?
Speaker 3: Yes, previous years now, Because what we're seeing is Tyreek
Speaker 3: Hill might have actually been underrated in Kansas City, like
Speaker 3: people thought of him as a top five receiver when
Speaker 3: he's clearly, without a doubt, either the best or the
Speaker 3: second best. The only reason I might say second best
Speaker 3: is because of Justin Jefferson More on him in a moment,
Speaker 3: but this year. Yeah, and we'll get to Mahomes later,
Speaker 3: making Kadarius Tony look like the guy he was drafted
Speaker 3: to be, making it work with anybody and everybody. Second
Speaker 3: most touchdown passes in football is twenty. Mahomes is at
Speaker 3: twenty five. He's already at his by He's at twenty five.
Speaker 3: He's so we'll talk Chiefs later. But I want to
Speaker 3: talk about the Bills. I want to talk about Josh Allen.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about QB one in the NFL.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about a guy. Yeah, put up
Speaker 3: the tweet Magic Mountain. Allen back with a vengeance. Remember America,
Speaker 3: you gotta be six or five and wildly overrated to
Speaker 3: get on this roller coaster. Hey guys, this was the game.
Speaker 3: The Bills were up seventeen with less than seventeen minutes remaining.
Speaker 3: You should win that game. The Vikings, then this is
Speaker 3: not on. Josh Allen popped off an eighty yard touchdown
Speaker 3: run on the first play after falling down seventeen, cut
Speaker 3: it to ten. The Bills then drive the length of
Speaker 3: the field and Josh Allen makes his first abysmal decision
Speaker 3: of the game. Throwing an interception in the end zone
Speaker 3: and then it gets returned, and Josh Allen, because he
Speaker 3: just can't help himself, not only goes for the tackle
Speaker 3: but leads with his injured throwing elbow and is laying
Speaker 3: on the ground. However, it didn't He's big and strong
Speaker 3: and powerful and tough, didn't seem to really affect him.
Speaker 3: And then what happens, Oh my god, one of the
Speaker 3: greatest moments of this NFL season. So the Vikings can't
Speaker 3: get out of their own way because they're the Vikings.
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson makes one of the greatest catches you will
Speaker 3: ever see, and arguably, given the fact that it was
Speaker 3: on fourth and eighteen they ended up winning the game,
Speaker 3: you could make the argument it's the greatest catch in
Speaker 3: NFL history. I'm gonna before I get on TV today,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna watch a compilation of the greatest catches in
Speaker 3: nfella stree so I can determine if I actually think
Speaker 3: it's the best. But my god, it's right there. And
Speaker 3: but then they get to the goal line, Kirk Cousins trips,
Speaker 3: they get stuffed, they score a touchdown, it gets called back.
Speaker 3: They then sneak with Cousins don't get it. They're now
Speaker 3: forty two seconds loot. The Bills are up by four.
Speaker 3: They have the ball, the Vikings of one timeout. The
Speaker 3: Bills have to execute two snaps and they win the game.
Speaker 3: They didn't even get to the second snap because Josh
Speaker 3: Allen fumbled in his own end zone. Fun fact. Fumbled
Speaker 3: the quarterback center exchange. Fun fact. In the last decade
Speaker 3: there have been two fumbles by a quarterback on his
Speaker 3: own one yard line. Those fumbles were Josh Allen yesterday
Speaker 3: and you guessed it Josh Allen in twenty twenty. So
Speaker 3: the Vikings fall on it and score. Yep. It's like,
Speaker 3: oh boy, they're gonna win the game. The Bills then
Speaker 3: drive the field thanks to in part thanks to the
Speaker 3: refs missing an obvious incompletion. They called it complete. They
Speaker 3: didn't review it. It was clear that only the refs
Speaker 3: can review inside two minus. They get the field goal.
Speaker 3: Vikings then drive the field again, but they get stopped,
Speaker 3: held to a field goal. Oh Buffalo, you can't blame
Speaker 3: the coin toss. Now, now you get the ball. Everything
Speaker 3: you hoped for in that game against the Chiefs and
Speaker 3: the playoffs when you whined and cried and you got
Speaker 3: the rules changed and they have a second and ten
Speaker 3: from the Vikings twenty. Tie is in the bag. And
Speaker 3: keep in mind, if you're Buffalo, a tie is actually
Speaker 3: not a total disaster because you were already the one seed,
Speaker 3: so it's obviously not as good as a win, but
Speaker 3: a tie at the end of the year could be
Speaker 3: beneficial when it comes to your division. You don't mind
Speaker 3: a tie because right now I don't want to get
Speaker 3: into the math of it. But Miami, who's competing with
Speaker 3: you in the division, has the tiebreaker with you at
Speaker 3: the moment. So if you guys finish with the same record,
Speaker 3: then Miami's gonna get it anyway. But with a tie,
Speaker 3: you can't finish with the same record. So but whatever,
Speaker 3: second and ten from the twenty, you're gonna have two
Speaker 3: shots to the end zone, two shots to get a
Speaker 3: first down, and then you kick a field goal. But
Speaker 3: no one said they got one shot to the end
Speaker 3: zone because all Josh, Josh threw another pick. So that's
Speaker 3: three fourth quarter turnovers in a game you were up
Speaker 3: seventeen with a minute and a half left in the third quarter.
Speaker 3: And now I do a sober analysis of Josh Allen's career.
Speaker 3: Year one, people thought he was a bust. People hated
Speaker 3: the pick. When it happened, he was vindicating what the
Speaker 3: critics said about him. Two steady legitimate improvement. The Bills
Speaker 3: make the playoffs. In that playoff game, he throws the
Speaker 3: latteral over the back of his head running down the
Speaker 3: field for no reason. They lose. Year three, the biggest
Speaker 3: leap we have seen from a quarterback from year two
Speaker 3: to year three ever, with the only close second being
Speaker 3: two of This year, they make the AFC Championship Game.
Speaker 3: He almost wins the league MVP. They make the AFC
Speaker 3: Championship Game, they lose to Mahomes. Year four, they go
Speaker 3: into the season with preseason Super Bowl hype. He is
Speaker 3: a preseason MVP candidate. They beat the Chiefs early in
Speaker 3: the regular season. They then go into a tailspin, lose
Speaker 3: five of seven, get hot at the very end of
Speaker 3: the year. He plays amazing in the two playoff games,
Speaker 3: kind of offset the fact that he didn't wasn't even
Speaker 3: a Pro bowler last year and Mac Jones was. But
Speaker 3: they lose to the Chiefs. This year, they are the
Speaker 3: overwhelming Super Bowl favorites. He is the over MVP favorite
Speaker 3: early in the year, they beat the Chiefs, and now
Speaker 3: it looks like the tailspin is underway. Since beating the Chiefs,
Speaker 3: they've played the Packers. They've played the Packers well for
Speaker 3: one half. Then they were up double digits on the
Speaker 3: Jets and lost, and up double digits on the Vikings
Speaker 3: and lost. And Josh Allen keeps throwing red zone interceptions.
Speaker 3: So all I'm saying is I told you so that
Speaker 3: there is a legitimate debate about who is the second
Speaker 3: best quarterback in football, and he is in that debate.
Speaker 3: There is no legitimate debate about who is the best
Speaker 3: quarterback in football. He plays in Kansas City, he wears
Speaker 3: number fifteen, and there will be no arguments otherwise. Next,
Speaker 3: all right, now, oh wow, pole question, but do you
Speaker 3: trust Josh Allen in a big game? Seventy percent say no,
Speaker 3: thirty percent say yes. Yikes, how the Mighty have fallen? Next?
Speaker 4: All right, Now to the two seed in the NFC
Speaker 4: and the Vikings. After being down twenty seven to ten
Speaker 4: late in the third, Minnesota scored three straight touchdowns. Justin
Speaker 4: Jefferson had an all time catch on a huge fourth down.
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins was clutch when he had to be, and
Speaker 4: they're always poison in these closed games. Man, the Vikings
Speaker 4: have a team of destiny, feels to them at being
Speaker 4: eight and one.
Speaker 3: All right, let me talk on the Jefferson catch for
Speaker 3: a moment. It's it's impossible what he did. And I
Speaker 3: know people like, oh, but they didn't score on that
Speaker 3: drive because Kirk Cousins and getting stuck at the goal line.
Speaker 3: That was fourth and eighteen. There's two minutes left, Vikings
Speaker 3: have one time out. If he doesn't get that, the
Speaker 3: Bills win the game. Undeniable. I understand they didn't score,
Speaker 3: but they got down to the inch line, which is
Speaker 3: what set up the Josh Allen disaster. Right, it's an
Speaker 3: all time catch by a guy who was a chance
Speaker 3: to be an all time player. There's just it is.
Speaker 3: I think he and Tyree have separated themselves from every
Speaker 3: other receiver in the league that they change the math
Speaker 3: of how good the team can be. With that said,
Speaker 3: do I look at them, Do I think they are
Speaker 3: as good as their record says they are. I don't do.
Speaker 3: I still have some concerns, some significant concerns about Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 3: who made a couple of boneheaded mistakes in this game
Speaker 3: as well. I do, and I understand Vikings fans feel
Speaker 3: this is unfair, And you know what you should feel.
Speaker 3: It's unfair. Your team is eight and one and your
Speaker 3: one loss is to the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles. You should
Speaker 3: feel like that you should be considered a top three
Speaker 3: team in football, that the three best teams in football,
Speaker 3: in some order or another, should be the Eagles, the Chiefs,
Speaker 3: and the Vikings. And you are not quite getting that respect.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now. It's not just me saying
Speaker 3: here's one demanse this will be well. I don't want
Speaker 3: to give it away. But next week the Vikings play
Speaker 3: the Cowboys in Minnesota. Vikings at home against the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about the Cowboys in a moment. What do
Speaker 3: you think the points spread in that game is? What
Speaker 3: do you think the line is?
Speaker 2: Vikings versus Cowboys.
Speaker 3: At home, Vikings versus Cowboys in Minnesota? In Minnesota? What
Speaker 3: do you think of this? Vikings are eight one, Cowboys
Speaker 3: are now six.
Speaker 2: And three, Minnesota minus three and.
Speaker 3: A half, Dallas minus two, oh Vegas. That that's the
Speaker 3: point either, correct? So it is there is an odd
Speaker 3: thing happening right now where the Vikings. They win close games,
Speaker 3: and maybe the close games part is what people don't respect.
Speaker 3: They beat the Dolphins, granted without two of them. They
Speaker 3: crushed the Packers to start the year. They have played
Speaker 3: a soft schedule, but the Bills at Buffalo was one
Speaker 3: of the toughest games on anyone's schedule all year and
Speaker 3: they just won coming back from seventeen down. Am I
Speaker 3: ready to call them legitimate contenders? I'm sorry, I'm not.
Speaker 3: If they were to get the one seed, if Philly
Speaker 3: were to slip up and Minnesota all of a sudden
Speaker 3: is guaranteed to have the games at home and a bye,
Speaker 3: then I will look into calling them the favorites. However,
Speaker 3: if they're the if they're the two seed and it's
Speaker 3: Sam Francisco going into their building to start the playoffs,
Speaker 3: and then I and they have to win three straight
Speaker 3: games to make it to the super Bowl, I don't
Speaker 3: know that I believe in that. Justin Jefferson's unbelievable, and
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins is just on the you're gonna have to
Speaker 3: prove me wrong list, and I apologize for that. He also,
Speaker 3: by the way, well Josh Allen has the most interceptions
Speaker 3: of football. Kirk Cousins top three right now our top four,
Speaker 3: and he threw a couple in this game as well.
Speaker 4: All right, next, all right? In a do or die
Speaker 4: game for the Packers, Rogers proved that he hasn't completely washed.
Speaker 4: But the Cowboys hack had multiple turnovers and multiple breakdowns
Speaker 4: on defense leading into over into the overtime loss. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they're now third in the NFC East and Mike McCarthy
Speaker 4: made a very sketchy decision to go for it on
Speaker 4: fourth and two and ot does this look a lot
Speaker 4: worse for the Cowboys or then it looks good for
Speaker 4: the Packers?
Speaker 3: I think so. I said on TV Friday that if
Speaker 3: the Packers win, I'm not gonna sit here and say, oh,
Speaker 3: the Packers are back. I don't think they're back now.
Speaker 3: That rookie receiver Christian Watson right first play of their season,
Speaker 3: they scrapped up a seventy five yard bomb to him.
Speaker 3: He's open, he drops it. He didn't have a single
Speaker 3: touchdown catch all year. He had three yesterday, and his
Speaker 3: speed and athleticism and ability to get opened that could
Speaker 3: help Green Bay immensely. However, this was more an indictment
Speaker 3: on Dallas than it was a compliment to Green Bay.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, that's scary. Dallas's run defense has been
Speaker 3: their one problem throughout the season, and then questions about
Speaker 3: you know is Dak? How good is Dak is? Really?
Speaker 3: And Dak had a couple bad interceptions early when it
Speaker 3: looked like the Cowboys were just going to be able
Speaker 3: to run away and hide in this game they went
Speaker 3: up seven to nothing, Rogers fumbled, they had the ball
Speaker 3: inside the twenty, Dak threw a pick that he then
Speaker 3: threw another pick immediately after. I understand Seelamb might have
Speaker 3: run the wrong route, still back to back picks, But
Speaker 3: the real reason people don't believe in Dallas is I
Speaker 3: guess it's twofold. One is questions about Dak, but the
Speaker 3: other is the coach. And McCarthy's decision to not kick
Speaker 3: the field goal in overtime was bafflington. And you here's
Speaker 3: the other problem. It was third and three, third and four,
Speaker 3: they're on the thirty five yard line, so it'll be
Speaker 3: a fifty two yard field goal. I understand it's outdoors
Speaker 3: and it's cold, but that's in your kickers range. However,
Speaker 3: if you think you're right on the edge of the
Speaker 3: range and you're not gonna kick it, or you might
Speaker 3: not kick it. How do you not run the ball
Speaker 3: on third and three to see if you pick it
Speaker 3: up because they're expecting a pass, or get it if
Speaker 3: you know you're going for it on fourth, try to
Speaker 3: get it to where it's fourth and one and you
Speaker 3: have everything available to you. It didn't seem to me
Speaker 3: by their play call on third they knew they were
Speaker 3: going for it on fourth. That's problematic in my opinion.
Speaker 3: Like the one of the benefits of going for it
Speaker 3: on fourth downs is you do have a lot more
Speaker 3: flexibility on third downs. It can be third and seven
Speaker 3: and you can run the ball. Third and three, you
Speaker 3: certainly can run the ball. But here's the other thing,
Speaker 3: after you don't get it. That Cowboys defense is supposed
Speaker 3: to be the calling card. It's supposed to You had
Speaker 3: a fourteen point lead in the fourth quarter with that
Speaker 3: Cowboys defense. Micah Parsons, I'm told is Lawrence Taylor. Now,
Speaker 3: I think Michael Parsons excellent, But it's I like Green
Speaker 3: Bay's offense has been humming all year. They've been doing nothing.
Speaker 3: You let green Bay have its first explosive scoring game
Speaker 3: of the year, Yet you had a coaching Every potential
Speaker 3: red flag for the Cowboys popped up in this game.
Speaker 3: McCarthy did McCarthy's stuff. Dak made some bonett of mistakes
Speaker 3: and the defense, I don't want to say got exposed
Speaker 3: but didn't exactly bathe itself in glory. All of that
Speaker 3: is problematic if you want me to believe in the
Speaker 3: Cowboys as a super Bowl team. And now here's the
Speaker 3: other thing. I the Cowboys are going to make the playoffs,
Speaker 3: but do I trust Dalla. Dallas is still yet going
Speaker 3: into yesterday, was another team that was gonna have an
Speaker 3: outside shot of the one seed because they get Philly again, right,
Speaker 3: and Philly is the again. It was gonna be hard.
Speaker 3: But Philly has played the Giants again. They have to
Speaker 3: play them. There was going to be they have played
Speaker 3: Washington twice. Washington all of a sudden, not a total pushover.
Speaker 3: Philly was going to have a couple losses coming up.
Speaker 3: And if Dallas, you know, could have beaten them, could
Speaker 3: have handled the Giants, they were there. Now if the
Speaker 3: playoffs start today, Dallas is the sixth seed. And so
Speaker 3: that's a bad loss. It's a bad loss in particular
Speaker 3: because you had control of the game twice. You had
Speaker 3: control of the game up seven to nothing, the Packers
Speaker 3: on the ball over chance to go up fourteen nothing.
Speaker 3: You controlled the game again up twenty eight fourteen in
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. So that's a bad loss, by the way.
Speaker 3: Previous poll question you can ask or give comments or
Speaker 3: ask questions in the chat. We'll do those in the sea.
Speaker 3: Bloff was justin Jefferson's catch the best catch ever, sixty
Speaker 3: seven percent say yes, I there are a couple catches
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl that the helmet catch, obviously the
Speaker 3: Tyree catch kept the Super Bowl alive. And thought that
Speaker 3: one with the guy this when he was on the Patriots,
Speaker 3: the ball was like falling. So I was about to
Speaker 3: say that those are the two catches in the Super
Speaker 3: Bowl that they kept the game alive and that team
Speaker 3: ended up going on to win. Those catchers are the
Speaker 3: most important catches ever. This style points and the importance
Speaker 3: was super about as important as a catch can be
Speaker 3: in a regular season game. So on that scale it's
Speaker 3: a ten out of ten, but obviously pales and comparison
Speaker 3: to a playoff game or a Super Bowl. But on
Speaker 3: degree of difficulty, the only thing that comes close to
Speaker 3: this is the Odell catch. The Odell catch in this catch.
Speaker 3: So the Tyreean Edelman catches are at the very very
Speaker 3: top of the list. But if you remove the added
Speaker 3: bonus points you get from it being in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5: This would be the best catchup all right. Last one,
Speaker 5: Jeff Saturday. Jeff Saturday's Colts went on the road and
Speaker 5: shocked the Raiders. Sorry about your picks, listen, Hey buddy
Speaker 5: expected that.
Speaker 3: Hey, well, I'll explain in them all. By the way,
Speaker 3: Washington governors to night. We have another winning weeks back
Speaker 3: to the best winning week. So we're just frowing for you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, go ahead.
Speaker 4: Saturday put Matt Ryan back in the lineup and he
Speaker 4: looked pretty solid. Meanwhile, this season is a complete disaster
Speaker 4: for the Raiders. Derek Carr cried and his press are
Speaker 4: talking about it more impressed with Saturday and the Colts
Speaker 4: were embarrassed by McDaniel's and the Raiders dumpster fire.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna say something here that might be a
Speaker 3: little controversial. The NFL needs to heavily find Jeff Saturday.
Speaker 3: Find him, Yeah, get you have gambling partners. Gambling is
Speaker 3: legal and a lot of places.
Speaker 2: Are you saying for putting Matt Ryan back.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm saying start. He didn't start Ellinger and then
Speaker 3: go to Ryan. They they said all week Ellnger was
Speaker 3: the quarterback. Ellinger was listed as the starter. He then
Speaker 3: started Matt Ryan. Obviously, part of the math on betting
Speaker 3: against the Raiders, I mean betting against the Colts, on
Speaker 3: picking on doing all of that is the fact. That
Speaker 3: is the fact that I thought Sam Ellinger, a sixth
Speaker 3: round pick, a second rounder, I mean a sixth round pick,
Speaker 3: a second year player, was going to be playing. He's
Speaker 3: been terrible, and then you start Matt Ryans. Well, there's
Speaker 3: a you're not lie. There's a reason you have official
Speaker 3: depth charts, there's a reason you have to give injury reports.
Speaker 3: That's bs man. It's just not right now, Matt. I'm
Speaker 3: act like Matt Ryan's great, but Matt Ryan is either
Speaker 3: horrific or it's like, oh, that's Matt Ryan, the guy
Speaker 3: I picked to win eleven games this year and win
Speaker 3: the division. I would have never I would have never
Speaker 3: laid almost a touchdown with the Raiders it no matter
Speaker 3: who the coach was. That's just outrageous. I can't believe.
Speaker 3: It's not a bigger story. It's it's just it's not right.
Speaker 3: You can't you can't screw around with that. Like people
Speaker 3: gamble on these things, and it's legal to gamble on
Speaker 3: these things, and there's betting partners and you like at
Speaker 3: his introductory press conference, he's ever sticking with Allaner, the
Speaker 3: owner who made if I'm Frank Reich, by the way,
Speaker 3: I am beside myself. Frank Reike wanted to stick with
Speaker 3: Matt Ryan. The owner said you have to go to Ellinger.
Speaker 3: They then are terrible for two weeks, so they five him.
Speaker 3: They bringing a boner, brings in his drinking buddy, and
Speaker 3: then the drink buddy watches two days of practice and
Speaker 3: it's like, yo, or not starting our best quarterback. The
Speaker 3: owner is like, no problem, go ahead. I don't give
Speaker 3: anyone a heads up. It's just and here's the other
Speaker 3: thing about it that makes it it just makes it
Speaker 3: just so outrageous because the was that that was one
Speaker 3: of the afternoon games, right, I have that correct? That
Speaker 3: was I'm gonna double check, but I think that game,
Speaker 3: that game was a late start. Yeah, it was one
Speaker 3: of the three. It was three four o'clock starts. So
Speaker 3: here's the other thing, because yes, there were reporters in
Speaker 3: the thirty minutes before the game tweeting ah Matt Ryan's
Speaker 3: taking snaps from the starting center. That's weird. A couple
Speaker 3: of things. One is if you have the Raiders in
Speaker 3: a tease that those bets are in by one pm,
Speaker 3: it second of all, that that game, those tweets are
Speaker 3: going out during the end of vikings bills like there's right. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's just outrageous. It's just really outrageous. And the fact
Speaker 3: that the game happened in Vegas makes it more insulted
Speaker 3: to the gambling capital of the world. Now to the Raiders.
Speaker 3: The Raiders last year had a player allegedly drunk driving
Speaker 3: kill a person, a key player. He never played for
Speaker 3: them again and got arrested. They had a coach who's
Speaker 3: one of the most powerful coaches in the league controlled
Speaker 3: every part of the team, fired because racist emails got
Speaker 3: exposed and he was forced out. They did not have
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams. Last year. That team made the playoffs and
Speaker 3: was in a he had a chance in the final
Speaker 3: moment of their playoff game to beat the Bengals. That
Speaker 3: team has none of that going on this year added
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams and they are maybe the worst team in
Speaker 3: the league. Josh McDaniels should be so mortified by what
Speaker 3: has happened there. They are two to seven. They just
Speaker 3: lost to Jeff Saturday. Their only wins this year are
Speaker 3: against the Texans and Ross. That's it. They have lost
Speaker 3: to the Prince that was promised. They got shut out
Speaker 3: by the Saints, who are awful. They lost to the Colts,
Speaker 3: who had given up on the season. They lost to
Speaker 3: the Cardinals, whose stink this team it is.
Speaker 2: Fonte Adams and Aaron Rodgers need each other so much.
Speaker 3: Well, it's an interesting An interesting question is this, if
Speaker 3: the Packers move off of Aaron this summer, would the
Speaker 3: Raiders try to trade for reunite Devonte Adams and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: It's an interesting idea. All right, there's a lot there.
Speaker 3: We still have not talked about Sunday Night Football. We
Speaker 3: still have not really talked about the Chiefs and the
Speaker 3: single greatest gambling moment of my life. In fact, we
Speaker 3: will start the next segment with the single greatest gambling
Speaker 3: moment of my life. That's next, What's right.

Speaker 3: All Right, welcome back in episode ninety five, What's right
Speaker 3: with Nick? Right? So, huh. So we're gonna get to
Speaker 3: your comments and questions in a moment or in the
Speaker 3: next segment, But first I have to I'm gonna text
Speaker 3: you to Monse because I don't want to hand you
Speaker 3: my phone because I want this to be a fun
Speaker 3: reveal what happened yesterday, Uh, when I was gambling. So
Speaker 3: I don't typically make single game parlays, you know that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm more of a straight better however, and I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna say the betting outfit that I used. There's for
Speaker 3: this one there's there's a betting, there's a site legitimate
Speaker 3: you know, regulated side or whatever that has given out
Speaker 3: some pretty good odds on single game parlays that you
Speaker 3: can't get elsewhere. And so yesterday I only had I
Speaker 3: had the five bets from the show I had. I
Speaker 3: did end up doing a seven point teaser. I had
Speaker 3: the Seahawks, which was a miracle teaser cover that ch
Speaker 3: So teased up to nine and a half. The Chiefs
Speaker 3: teased down to two and a half. Didn't need to
Speaker 3: tease that, but it worked anyway. The there was one
Speaker 3: other what was the other one in it? I know,
Speaker 3: and the Chargers teased up to fourteen and a half. Oh,
Speaker 3: and the Steelers teased up to seven, and so that
Speaker 3: one won. But I didn't have much else. But I
Speaker 3: was like, you know what, let me put in a
Speaker 3: single I was thinking about the Chiefs game and go
Speaker 3: through what I just text you, the five different legs
Speaker 3: of it. Okay, yeah, read out was started the Travis at.
Speaker 2: Okay, under eighty and a half for Travis total rushing yards.
Speaker 3: Okay, So my logic on the Chiefs game was the
Speaker 3: follower I all the Chiefs would be in control throughout
Speaker 3: and so the Jags would have to throw, throw, throw, throw, throw.
Speaker 3: So I didn't think at ten would get a lot
Speaker 3: of touches. I also let me so I didn't think
Speaker 3: at t end would get a lot of carries. I
Speaker 3: thought Trevor would. And I've watched the Jags every week
Speaker 3: this year. He dinks and dunks a lot more than
Speaker 3: I wish he would, so a lot of completions on
Speaker 3: a ton of yards. And because I thought he was
Speaker 3: going to be running throughout, I thought he might scramble some.
Speaker 3: And then on the chief side of things, Kelsey, with
Speaker 3: one hundred yards yesterday would have set the all time
Speaker 3: record for receiving yards by or one hundred yard games
Speaker 3: by a tight end. Okay, and then you put all
Speaker 3: Kelsey would eighty and a half. You'll get to it. Yes.
Speaker 3: Kadarius Tony the Chief's new wide receiver. So McCole Hardman
Speaker 3: was out with an injury. They had used Tony the
Speaker 3: first possession with him on the team. They threw the
Speaker 3: ball top I know, Andy Reid, I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 3: this guy has never scored a touch. He's gonna try
Speaker 3: with a full week of practice to get him in
Speaker 3: the ind So yeah, So tell the audience the five
Speaker 3: legs of that parlay.
Speaker 2: So I already said the track.
Speaker 3: Gravis Etty in under eighty and a half?
Speaker 2: What else Travis Kelcey over eighty and a half?
Speaker 3: All right, more on that in a moment, go ahead.
Speaker 4: Old receiving yards that we got and if Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 4: total passing completions over twenty three and a half.
Speaker 3: Right, so and so, so everyone knows where we're at
Speaker 3: on these and we'll get to the Kelsey one in
Speaker 3: a moment. At ten we had under eighty and a
Speaker 3: half rushing yards. He ended with forty five. Lawrence, we
Speaker 3: had over twenty three and a half completions. He ended
Speaker 3: with twenty nine. We'll do Kelsey in a moment.
Speaker 2: What else is Tony to score a touchdown?
Speaker 3: He scored his the first touchdown of the game. He
Speaker 3: ended the game with. As far as total yards, he
Speaker 3: had ninety total yards, six touches and a touchdown yep.
Speaker 4: And then over seventeen and a half rushing yards for
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Trevor had one big scramble of eighteen which got
Speaker 3: it by itself. He ended with twenty six. Okay, so
Speaker 3: now to Kelsey. Kelsey had a forty six yard catch
Speaker 3: almost immediately then did nothing and the Chiefs were crushing.
Speaker 3: Going into the final drive of the game, Demonse he
Speaker 3: had seventy seven yards receiving. I need eighty one. But
Speaker 3: the Chiefs are up ten and just trying to run
Speaker 3: out the club, and I'm like, oh my god, they're
Speaker 3: he's not gonna get it. Like there's gonna run, run, run,
Speaker 3: and if they could stop, they're gonna punt. With like
Speaker 3: two minutes left, up ten, fourth and two at the
Speaker 3: Jags thirty five ish, they go for it to just
Speaker 3: put the game away. They throw to Kelson. He gets
Speaker 3: it and then as if he knew the prop was
Speaker 3: eighty point five. After getting the first down, lunged it
Speaker 3: was fourth and two, not fourth and fourth. Lunged for
Speaker 3: an extra yard and they put him at four. I
Speaker 3: thought it was a three yard game. They called it
Speaker 3: a four yard game. So he finished at eighty one
Speaker 3: yards and the Chiefs took knees.
Speaker 2: It's like no type of thing.
Speaker 3: You want to hug him so well, you're gonna see
Speaker 3: how much I wanted to hug him in a second.
Speaker 3: Do not say this on the air, but I have
Speaker 3: now text you the next picture, which has look at
Speaker 3: the bottom of it, it was a forty to one
Speaker 3: bet forty to one for those we're in there, look
Speaker 3: at the top, look at the current balance. Oh, forty
Speaker 3: to one. Yo, Yeah, that's a Kelsey dive. The chief
Speaker 3: went for on. Oh, I mean, you know what I said,
Speaker 3: don't say it. Let's go ahead and say it. I
Speaker 3: want thirty two thousand dollars forty one. I want thirty
Speaker 3: two grand because Kelsey does at the end. Is that
Speaker 3: not the unbelievable thing you've ever seen?
Speaker 2: I wasn't there for that.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, amazing. And then I so he dove
Speaker 3: and I was like, I don't know if that's three
Speaker 3: yards or four yards. And now they're taking knees like
Speaker 3: games gonna be over. So I checked the Yahoo Sports
Speaker 3: app and they have mid eighty one and I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh god. So I'm like, but I don't know if
Speaker 3: that's official. So I go to NFL dot com and
Speaker 3: they have mid eighty one, and I'm like, is there
Speaker 3: gonna be sat correction? Like what's gonna happen? I was
Speaker 3: just worried, and I'm like, oh, it was good to
Speaker 3: be true. Then I'm like, oh, it's so close, like
Speaker 3: they're probably gonna wait to pay out credit to the book.
Speaker 3: Within two minutes of the game paid out. Oh my good,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, isn't that unbelievable. That's unbelievable. And I
Speaker 3: don't even make single game parlays typically, Like I just
Speaker 3: I knew Tony. I knew they were gonna try to
Speaker 3: get Tony a score, so I'm like that. I felt
Speaker 3: like that was like even money, and it was like
Speaker 3: six to one, So I'm like, let me just build
Speaker 3: out some something with that. And I feel great about
Speaker 3: it because the money obviously, but it was not just
Speaker 3: like random clicking of buttons. It was the exact game
Speaker 3: script I thought with the accept like, I knew it
Speaker 3: was the thought process. I knew that Trevor would throw
Speaker 3: the ballet on. I knew that at some point he'd
Speaker 3: run for his life. I knew at t N wouldn't
Speaker 3: get a bunch of carries. I just needed him not
Speaker 3: to break one. But where I was wrong on I
Speaker 3: thought the Chiefs came about Kelsey breaking this record at home.
Speaker 3: They didn't did, but Kelsey came. He didn't even It's
Speaker 3: not even like that was for one hundred yards right,
Speaker 3: that was that was just for me. That was just
Speaker 3: for me. Oh my god. And then Demonse, you have
Speaker 3: to understand how my day went. That happened at three
Speaker 3: fifty eight pm Eastern. At four h four pm Eastern,
Speaker 3: Josh Allen fumbled in the end zone and then at
Speaker 3: four to twenty he threw a pic to lose the game.
Speaker 3: It was I I just and I was home all alone.
Speaker 3: Your mom and your sisters were gone. It was just
Speaker 3: me and Dexter, just me and the dog. None of
Speaker 3: my friends came over to watch the games. You were gone,
Speaker 3: no one was there. And I'm just sitting there like,
Speaker 3: did this just happen? Am I having a dreamy man?
Speaker 3: With that said? What a Sunday? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What a Sunday.
Speaker 3: Weekend after Thanksgiving? The week after Thanksgiving going to Vegas.
Speaker 3: That's buked. It's booked. Oh I'm good, all right, Sorry
Speaker 3: for the long story. I hope it was worth it.
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to the actual B block now,
Speaker 3: go ahead, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Sunday night football.
Speaker 4: The forty nine ers picked or yeah, the forty nine
Speaker 4: Ers picked up a big win against the Chargers last night.
Speaker 4: So my coaching moves by Shanahan at the end meant
Speaker 4: you covered your plus seven.
Speaker 3: That was crazy Shanahan kicking. There was a minute left.
Speaker 3: They have fourth and goal from the one. They're up three,
Speaker 3: and they kicked the field goal. Now they ended up
Speaker 3: winning anyway, But I just don't understand the logic of it.
Speaker 3: Like if if you go for it and you score,
Speaker 3: the game's over. If you go for it and you
Speaker 3: don't get it, yes, I understand now a field goal times,
Speaker 3: but they are they're after one yard line, so they've
Speaker 3: got to go sixty five yards right to tie the game.
Speaker 3: See sixty five yards to get in field goal wage. Okay,
Speaker 3: if you kick the extra point, I'm sorry, kick the
Speaker 3: field goal. You're up six.
Speaker 2: Let's just assume you kick off.
Speaker 3: Now they as soon you kick off and you kick
Speaker 3: off and they kneel it. Yeah, now they have to
Speaker 3: go seventy five yard instead of sixty five yards. But
Speaker 3: the seventy five yards wins the game. It beats you,
Speaker 3: and they're not backed up on their own end. Like
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it. I thought it was such a
Speaker 3: bad decision, but they ended. But because he did that,
Speaker 3: I had the Chargers plus seven in our picks here
Speaker 3: if you would have punched it in they lose by
Speaker 3: nine or ten? All right next? Or keep going?
Speaker 4: He's Nathaniel Hackett's guy. San fran is now only one
Speaker 4: game behind the Seahawks in the NFC West. Two questions,
Speaker 4: do you like Seahawks or San Francisco to win the
Speaker 4: ANFC West? And how is it that every AFC West
Speaker 4: team except for Kansas City turned out to be trash?
Speaker 3: Why don'tly Chargers are trash? The Chargers are very, very
Speaker 3: injured and if they get healthier, I mean, I think
Speaker 3: the Chargers absolutely could beat the Chiefs this week. Because
Speaker 3: here's the thing. If the Chiefs win this week against
Speaker 3: the Chargers, they are eight and two, the Chargers go
Speaker 3: to five and five, and the Chiefs swept them, right,
Speaker 3: So that would mean that if the Chargers lose this week,
Speaker 3: they would have to if they then won the rest
Speaker 3: of their games. If they would, they could finish twelve
Speaker 3: and five. The Chiefs would have to finish eleven and
Speaker 3: six from seven to two for them to win the division.
Speaker 3: You don't say what I mean, like so or no?
Speaker 3: So if the Chiefs, let me say that better. If
Speaker 3: the Chiefs win this week, they're eight and two and
Speaker 3: the Chargers are five and four, five and five. Even
Speaker 3: if the Chargers then went undefeated the rest of the way,
Speaker 3: that would get them to twelve and five. They would
Speaker 3: need the Chiefs from eight to two to finish the year,
Speaker 3: Is that right? Yeah? Three and four or else the
Speaker 3: Chiefs win the division. So this is the division championship
Speaker 3: this weekend for the Chargers, So I expect their absolute
Speaker 3: best punch. But if they're that injured, it might not matter.
Speaker 3: So now to your question on the NFC West, san
Speaker 3: Francisco's better than Seattle. The question is the schedule they
Speaker 3: have left. So they have a game against each other
Speaker 3: and it's in Seattle, but San Francisco already beat them.
Speaker 3: San Francisco has two left against Arizona game against the Raiders.
Speaker 3: San Francisco right now, to me, looks like they should
Speaker 3: be the favorites. See what Seattle schedule is looking like
Speaker 3: the rest of the way. Oh, Seattle's got ooh soft Raiders, Rams, Panthers.
Speaker 3: That game against the Niners Chiefs, that's brutal Jets Rams,
Speaker 3: Oh gosh. I don't know who I favor to win
Speaker 3: that neck and neck. I mean, I know this is
Speaker 3: gonna sound corny that it's gonna come down to the
Speaker 3: game between the two teams. I wonder who the biggest
Speaker 3: favorite is right now. Probably San Francisco. Oh, San Francisco
Speaker 3: minus two twenty Seattle plus two hundred, So they consider
Speaker 3: San Francisco a sizeable favorite. Let me put it like this,
Speaker 3: I consider San Francisco the favorite, but I wouldn't lay
Speaker 3: minus two twenty the divisional odds right now, by the way,
Speaker 3: people care the Bills down to minus one eighty, with
Speaker 3: the Dolphins up to plus thir to plus two forty,
Speaker 3: So the Bills not heavy favorites to win the division anymore,
Speaker 3: just favorites. Ravens minus four ninety, the Bengals plus four ninety,
Speaker 3: the Titans minus five point fifty the Prince that was
Speaker 3: promised plus seven to fifty, and Indie plus nine to
Speaker 3: fifty the Chiefs minus twelve fifty the Chargers ten to one.
Speaker 3: So that means Vegas thinks the Chiefs have already won
Speaker 3: the division. So then imagine if they beat them this
Speaker 3: week and then they swept them and they are four
Speaker 3: games clear of them. Yeah, Eagles minus six hundred, Dallas
Speaker 3: plus seven to fifty is still no respect for the
Speaker 3: Giants plus thirteen hundred Vikings minus three thousand, Green Bay
Speaker 3: twenty to one, Tampa minus four to twenty, Atlanta six
Speaker 3: to one. And I just told you San Francisco. All right,
Speaker 3: let's get to our game. What's our game today?
Speaker 2: Today? We are playing right or wrong? Yep.
Speaker 4: Over the past month, no one has exploded more than
Speaker 4: justin Fields. The Bears may not be winning, but the
Speaker 4: future is definitely brighton shotown right or wrong?
Speaker 3: Fields? Is the top ten quarterback right now? I say
Speaker 3: he's not. Let me let me you know what, right now?
Speaker 2: Say the dude's top ten man.
Speaker 3: Okay, So let's do It's in no particular order. I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna go through the standings. So it's team by team.
Speaker 3: Two was ahead of him, Josh Allen's ahead of him,
Speaker 3: Mahomes is ahead of him, Herbert's ahead of him. You
Speaker 3: can tell me if you disagree on any of them.
Speaker 3: Lamar's ahead of him, Joe Burrows ahead of him. I'd
Speaker 3: love to say it, but I can't put the prince
Speaker 3: those promised ahead of him. I'd love to, but I
Speaker 3: can't right now. So that's six. Jalen hurts Jalen Hurts
Speaker 3: is ahead of him. So that's seven No One in
Speaker 3: the NFC West. Okay, So then it would come down
Speaker 3: to so there's seven guys Dak Prescott, uh Geno Smith,
Speaker 3: I said No. One of the MC West, Gino Smith,
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins, Tom Brake. Those five guys, he
Speaker 3: would have to be better than three of them. And
Speaker 3: he's a top ten guy. So he's I'm gonna say close, close,
Speaker 3: but it is. But he is top three most exciting. Yeah,
Speaker 3: must see TV and they're finally using him. He still
Speaker 3: doesn't have receivers and they got Hose Chicago. That's a
Speaker 3: picky lost. It was bs Man. They were up fourteen points,
Speaker 3: picked off golf, returned it inside the ten, and a
Speaker 3: very questionable flag took it off for it. So the
Speaker 3: Bears last week didn't get a defensive past interference call
Speaker 3: that they could have won the game on, and then
Speaker 3: this week got either illegal contact something that it was
Speaker 3: going to be a seventeen point Bears lead. Instead, the
Speaker 3: Lions kept the ball scored, then fields through a terrible
Speaker 3: pick as one terrible play of the game. They end
Speaker 3: up losing by a point after a missed extra point
Speaker 3: and the Lions drive down the field. But Fields is
Speaker 3: all of a sudden vindicating the draft pick. And here's
Speaker 3: the other thing I think is answering about Justin Fields.
Speaker 3: The San Francisco forty nine ers and the Justin Fields
Speaker 3: draft traded three picks to move up to get Trey Lance.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine that Niners rushing attack right now with
Speaker 3: Justin Fields as their quarterback? Right That's what they thought
Speaker 3: they were getting with Trey, but Trey got hurt and
Speaker 3: Trey hasn't played. That would be an unstoppable team right now.
Speaker 3: And by the way, I think the Niners, I don't
Speaker 3: even think they had to trade up if they would
Speaker 3: have stayed where they were and drafted Fields. I think
Speaker 3: they they traded three picks to move all the way
Speaker 3: to three. Let me look at that real quick. I
Speaker 3: just want to sorry my apology. Twenty nineteen NFL draft
Speaker 3: with was it the twenty nineteen draft. No, it'd be
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty draft. So the Niners moved up to
Speaker 3: get Trey Lance. Oh, the twenty twenty one draft. I'm
Speaker 3: such an idiot. I forget what year it is. It's
Speaker 3: two years ago. Moved up to get Trey Lance. They oh, no,
Speaker 3: justin Field's win eleven, and they initially had the twelfth pick,
Speaker 3: so they wouldn't have been able to stay there, but
Speaker 3: they could have drafted him at three obviously. All right.
Speaker 4: Next, despite a late push from Geno Smith and the Seahawks,
Speaker 4: the Buccaneers became the first team to win an NFL
Speaker 4: game in Germany.
Speaker 2: They're now first in the NFC South.
Speaker 3: Right or wrong, the Bucks.
Speaker 2: Have turned the corner. Right, hasn't lost since the divorce.
Speaker 3: Correct and now on a buye won you know that
Speaker 3: stirring victory against the Rams. They didn't play well, but
Speaker 3: they stole a win. They then go to Germany, played
Speaker 3: really well early. Now, Gino, I give Gino credit. Gino,
Speaker 3: after a terrible fumble, made some unbelievable plays to make
Speaker 3: this game, including one of the best passes of the season,
Speaker 3: the fourth down touchdown. But all of a sudden, with
Speaker 3: the Falcons are stumbling having lost too in a row,
Speaker 3: Tampa has won two in a row. Tampa has the bye,
Speaker 3: then the Browns before Deshaun comes back right then the Saints,
Speaker 3: who are awful. Then they're at the Niners home for
Speaker 3: the Bengals. Those are two tough games, and then they
Speaker 3: finished the year at the Cardinals home for the Panthers
Speaker 3: at the Falcons. Feels like a team that is going
Speaker 3: to turn three and five into ten and seven, feel
Speaker 3: good about themselves, and be hosting, as I've been telling
Speaker 3: you all year, hosting Daniel Jones in a playoff. Especially
Speaker 3: now that Dallas has stumbled, the Giants are even more
Speaker 3: likely to be that five seed. Tampa's the four. So
Speaker 3: I do I see a world where I keep saying it,
Speaker 3: people think I'm crazy. Where Brady's path to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3: Is it? It goes Daniel Jones, Kirk Cousins, Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 3: I see that world. I understand that means Philly loses
Speaker 3: its round one game. I think that's it's round two game.
Speaker 3: We'll see what the matchup is, but I think San
Speaker 3: Francisco could give Philly real trouble. I see that world.
Speaker 3: And by the way, in that world, they would maybe
Speaker 3: be hosting the NFC Championship. All right.
Speaker 4: Next uh, Kansas City covered nine and a half against
Speaker 4: Jacksonville and now controls their own destiny in the AFC.
Speaker 3: Right or wrong, Kansas City will be the number one
Speaker 3: seed in the AFC. I mean they absolutely should be.
Speaker 3: And now I didn't pick the Chiefs be the one
Speaker 3: seed this year. I think I can pick the Ravens.
Speaker 3: Uh but I because I thought there's that they were
Speaker 3: gonna get beaten. They were the first team in NFL
Speaker 3: history to play eight straight games against teams that are
Speaker 3: winning record the previous season. Here's the benefit to getting
Speaker 3: through that six and two and now being seven and two.
Speaker 3: Here's what they have the rest of the way. At
Speaker 3: the Chargers. That's a tough one. Their touchdown favorites, by
Speaker 3: the way, but they're at the Chargers. Then home for
Speaker 3: the Rams. The Rams might have lost Cooper Cup for
Speaker 3: the year yesterday. They're awful. At the Bengals. That is
Speaker 3: a tough one. But also the Bengals beat the Chiefs
Speaker 3: twice last year, including the AFC Championship game where Mahomes
Speaker 3: melted down to the only bad half of playoffootball he's
Speaker 3: ever played. So at the Chargers at the Bengals are
Speaker 3: tough ones. After that, at the Broncos, at the Texans,
Speaker 3: home for Seattle, home for the Broncos, at the Raiders.
Speaker 3: Even if they lose all of their tough games, and
Speaker 3: at the Chargers, I'm calling the tough game. They are
Speaker 3: seven point favorites. It feels like thirteen and four. And
Speaker 3: so the question then is, because they have the tiebreaker
Speaker 3: with Tennessee because they beat them, is Buffalo gonna go
Speaker 3: because Buffalo would get the tiebreaker with them? Is Buffalo
Speaker 3: gonna go the rest of the season and only lose once?
Speaker 3: I don't know how anyone could think that at this point,
Speaker 3: and so I don't know what would how the type
Speaker 3: breakerd with Miami would work if they finished for the
Speaker 3: same record to go to conference record. I I don't
Speaker 3: think the Ravens are only gonna lose one more time
Speaker 3: the rest of the way. It's looking like the old
Speaker 3: Arrowhead Invitational is on once again, and a buye, a
Speaker 3: buye for this team with no Tyreek Hill after that
Speaker 3: schedule would be unbelievable. And right now, unless the Eagles
Speaker 3: go undefeated, there should not be a debate about who
Speaker 3: league MVP is. It's Patrick Mahomes next, all right.
Speaker 4: The first place Dolphins crushed the Browns thirty nine and
Speaker 4: seventeen and firing on all cylinders, who had three touchdowns
Speaker 4: and the backfield combined for nearly two hundred yards. Right
Speaker 4: or wrong, the Dolphins have the best offense in football.
Speaker 3: No, I think it's the second best dolphense after the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean, but that's not like right now,
Speaker 3: if the Dolphins have played one more game than Kansas City. Okay,
Speaker 3: so the Dolphins have played ten games, the Chiefs have
Speaker 3: played nine. The Chiefs have scored two hundred and seventy points.
Speaker 3: The Dolphins have scored two hundred and fifty points. So
Speaker 3: like the Chiefs have scored twenty more points in one
Speaker 3: less game. The Chiefs are averaging exactly thirty points per game.
Speaker 3: The Dolphins are averaging twenty five points per game. Right now,
Speaker 3: you can be like, oh, well they didn't have two
Speaker 3: or for two and a half of those games. That's fair.
Speaker 3: I still think the Chiefs are the best offense. But
Speaker 3: the Dolphins are legit scary. The Dolphins are legit scary.
Speaker 3: The defense needs to get better. But that the RPO
Speaker 3: stuff has been so hard for people to defend, and
Speaker 3: Tyreek is just unguardable. This is flatly unguardable, by the way.
Speaker 3: Fun fact, if we just do total points scored, not
Speaker 3: points per game, because they wouldn't. But but in total
Speaker 3: points scored, Miami's at two fifty two and third, Kansas
Speaker 3: City's at two seventy and first. The second the team
Speaker 3: that have scored the second most points this year, any
Speaker 3: guess it's a fun one. Now again, they've played ten games,
Speaker 3: so they have a bit of an advantage here. But
Speaker 3: do you do you want to throw a team out
Speaker 3: there or you just want me to tell you the
Speaker 3: Bills are fourth. The team that has scored the second
Speaker 3: most total points this year is oh, wait, Lions, Nope,
Speaker 3: not efore they fell off. You're fine. Seattle, Oh gino.
Speaker 3: Now if you do points per game, it then it
Speaker 3: then changes. Oh and you know what, I'm being a
Speaker 3: little unfair to Philly because I'm talking about Seattle has
Speaker 3: played ten games the Chiefs, you know, because they haven't
Speaker 3: had their buy. The Chiefs only played nine, Philly has
Speaker 3: only played eight. Philly's only played eight games because they
Speaker 3: played a night. But points per game goes. The Chiefs
Speaker 3: won at thirty, Philly two at twenty eight, Buffalo three
Speaker 3: at twenty seven point eight, Baltimore four at twenty six
Speaker 3: point one, and then Seattle five at twenty five point seven,
Speaker 3: all right next.
Speaker 4: All right, just when you thought the Rams season couldn't
Speaker 4: get any worse, Hooper Cup went down with a leg
Speaker 4: injury and a loss to the car Cardinals. Right or wrong,
Speaker 4: the Rams won't win another game without Cooper Cup.
Speaker 3: Oh well, that's interesting because I think cup season's over
Speaker 3: because I think that it was. I think he's gonna
Speaker 3: miss at least a month and then at that point,
Speaker 3: why bring him back. So let's look at what they've
Speaker 3: got at the Saints. The Saints are truly awful. That's
Speaker 3: a maybe. At the Chiefs. That's a loss home for
Speaker 3: the Seahawks. That's a loss home for the Raiders. Is
Speaker 3: a maybe at them. No, they're gonna win. They'll win
Speaker 3: some games based on the strength of their defense alone.
Speaker 3: But they are gonna have the worst Super Bowl defense ever.
Speaker 3: They're three and six. They're gonna finish five and twelve.
Speaker 3: I think there are five maybe six win teams and
Speaker 3: they don't. By the way, here's another thing. Here's what
Speaker 3: the Lions have going for him. They have the Rams pick.
Speaker 3: So like there's an let me let me check this
Speaker 3: real quick. Is tankathon a thing for the NFL? I
Speaker 3: think it is draft order right now? Right now. The
Speaker 3: number one pick of the draft, this is crazy, would
Speaker 3: be Houston. That's not surprising. Number two is Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: Number three is Carolina, Okay, Number four right now, the
Speaker 3: fourth pick of the draft would be Philly because New
Speaker 3: Orleans traded them there.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Number five is Jacksonville. Number six is Chicago. Number seven
Speaker 3: Seattle because Denver traded them there. Number eight Detroit because
Speaker 3: the Rams traded them their pick. Number nine Houston because
Speaker 3: Cleveland traded them their pick. And then, yeah, Houston would
Speaker 3: have right now, Houston would have one and nine, Detroit
Speaker 3: would have eight and eleven, Seattle would have seven and
Speaker 3: twenty two, and Philly would have four and thirty two.
Speaker 3: Pretty unbelievable. And by the way, I guess actually it
Speaker 3: wouldn't be thirty two for Philly. It would be thirty
Speaker 3: one because there's only gonna be thirty one first round
Speaker 3: picks this year because Miami forfeited their pick for tampering
Speaker 3: with Tom Brady for the oh yeah, trying to get
Speaker 3: Tom Brady. So so right now, it's a really interesting
Speaker 3: subplot that Philly could end up with a top five
Speaker 3: pick and Seattle. Two teams that are gonna be playoff teams,
Speaker 3: either one of them could have top five picks because
Speaker 3: of trades they made. Houston, by the way, I mean Cleveland,
Speaker 3: they're gonna Houston's gonna have a top three pick from themselves,
Speaker 3: plus wherever Cleveland lands and then Detroit is gonna have
Speaker 3: legitimately potentially two top six picks their own and the Rams.
Speaker 3: Right now, there are nine teams that have three wins.
Speaker 3: So right now, for example, Carolinas slotted to pick third
Speaker 3: at three and seven and Detroit with their own pick
Speaker 3: a sloted the pick eleventh three and six. That will
Speaker 3: sort itself out at some point. Yeah, but Philly, what
Speaker 3: a trade man? And it's not even a New Orleans
Speaker 3: at least with Houston, it's like, uh, with Cleveland, it's like, well,
Speaker 3: they got Deshaun Watson, and with the Rams, like they
Speaker 3: got Matt Stafford they won a Super Bowl. And Denver,
Speaker 3: I mean he's been terrible, but it's like they got
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson. What the that Philly trade is crazy? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't even it was during the draft. I gotta
Speaker 3: look this up real quick twenty twenty, sorry, and then
Speaker 3: we'll move on. But I knew that Philly had the
Speaker 3: Saints pick, but I forgot what it was for, so
Speaker 3: Philip elp So here we go. The Saints wanted to
Speaker 3: draft Trevor Penning, an offensive lineman who's been hurt all year.
Speaker 3: So the trade was, let me see number sixteen. So
Speaker 3: the trade was sorry, I apologize, I just want to
Speaker 3: get this exactly right, Philadelphia traded. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3: Philadelphi Eagles New Orleans shake up first round. The same
Speaker 3: doubled up on first round picks. Well, the Eagles pushed
Speaker 3: one of their three first rounders back to twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: The Saints got the twenty two first round picks number
Speaker 3: sixteen and nineteen. The Eagles got number eighteen and a
Speaker 3: first round pick next year, plus a second round pick
Speaker 3: two years later. That is unbelievable. So the Eagles had
Speaker 3: sixteen and nineteen. They traded those two picks for the
Speaker 3: eighteenth pick, so they basically so to call nineteen and
Speaker 3: eighteen a Walsh so take that out of it. What
Speaker 3: they essentially traded was the sixteenth pick of the draft four,
Speaker 3: which is I think out. The Saints drafted PRIs a lave,
Speaker 3: so give them credit. He's a really good player. So
Speaker 3: the Saints traded to get for the right to draft
Speaker 3: Chris A lave Or or is that who they ended
Speaker 3: up No, then they traded that again. But what they
Speaker 3: ended up using it to draft the guy? Uh? Regardless
Speaker 3: they got this is unbelievable for the number sixteen pick
Speaker 3: they got next year's first, which is gonna be a
Speaker 3: top eight pick, and a second two years later and
Speaker 3: a third next year. The Saints are such dopes. They're
Speaker 3: just so bad at this and now, and they have
Speaker 3: no way to rebuild. That's terrible by them. There's my
Speaker 3: take on that trade. Six months later, we'll be right
Speaker 3: back say it again. What about him? What about Cooper Cup?
Speaker 2: It's just the question.
Speaker 3: Oh I thought, he said Cooper Rush, I answered, I said,
Speaker 3: I thought the Rams would win two more games.
Speaker 2: And then we got to the Saints and how bad
Speaker 2: they're drafting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we were talking about the Rams not having
Speaker 3: a draft pick. It's a podcast, man, My mind wanders.
Speaker 3: You guys are looking even showed up today and not
Speaker 3: mentioned I was thirty two grand yesterday. My god. We'll
Speaker 3: be right back answering your questions. What's right? All right?
Speaker 3: Welcome back in What's right with Nick? Right? We're gonna
Speaker 3: wrap the show right here. We went a little along
Speaker 3: that segment. I had no idea. I mean, podcast going
Speaker 3: on for over an hour now, Monday shows are long though.
Speaker 3: All right, Demanse, read some of these questions before we
Speaker 3: move on to people and watching on YouTube. They suffered
Speaker 3: through my real litigation of the twenty twenty two NFL
Speaker 3: draft That probably wasn't great editorial decision by me, especially
Speaker 3: just googling it live on the show. My apologies. All right,
Speaker 3: go ahead, Demonse.
Speaker 4: All right, Connor, some of the asks question, it's pretty
Speaker 4: safe to say Alan won't be in the top in
Speaker 4: the top of the MVP discussion. However, would it be
Speaker 4: better for Alan and the Bills to play the rest
Speaker 4: of the season not being the Super Bowl favorites?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't what it would be better for
Speaker 3: them when their quarterback stops having egregious turnovers. I don't
Speaker 3: think it's about all we thought we were too good.
Speaker 3: It's not like they're taking teams lightly. They are building
Speaker 3: big leads and blowing them. They built a big league
Speaker 3: against the Jets and blew it. They built a big
Speaker 3: league against the Vikings and blew it. They need their
Speaker 3: quarterback to stop turning the ball.
Speaker 2: Over and then how do you even take the vikings lately? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's the thing is you need your
Speaker 3: quarterback to play forget like an MVP, just play like
Speaker 3: a pro bowler, which you weren't last year, by the way,
Speaker 3: and by the way, right now this year got three
Speaker 3: pro bowlers in each conference. Before people start begging out
Speaker 3: Mahomes and tua are locks, we convinced Josh Allen's having
Speaker 3: a better year. Then then, oh my goodness, Joe Burrow,
Speaker 3: we convinced Josh Allen's having a better year than Lamar.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Next, some guy asked, has has this been the most
Speaker 4: unpredictable NFL betting season you've seen?
Speaker 3: Uh? I don't think so. I think a lot of
Speaker 3: the fundamentals are staying true, Like the underdogs are covering
Speaker 3: more than the favorites. Home underdogs are a good play.
Speaker 3: I just think every year we know that and then
Speaker 3: we get tricked by the way. Great job by you
Speaker 3: and the producers on the Gambling show with that Tomlin, though,
Speaker 3: you guys, said Tomlin, he covers the time in his
Speaker 3: career as a home dog. There was a ton of
Speaker 3: money day of on the Steelers. They went from a
Speaker 3: dog to a pick them. They end up winning out
Speaker 3: right by ten points. A great job by you guys.
Speaker 4: Next, and what I see is me ass who gets
Speaker 4: fired first? Tackett or McDaniels.
Speaker 3: I think they both make it through the season. I
Speaker 3: think it's it's incredibly rare for a coach in his
Speaker 3: first year to get fired during the season. Happened with
Speaker 3: urban Meyer last year, but that was because they were
Speaker 3: off the field stuff as well. But will either one
Speaker 3: of them be back next year? I highly doubt it,
Speaker 3: highly highly doubt it.
Speaker 4: Next creative, Charlie Ass, will you ever play Poker after
Speaker 4: Dark again?
Speaker 2: I love seeing you play poker with the pros.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Poker after Dark right now doesn't exist in
Speaker 3: its current form. Hopefully it comes back. There is a
Speaker 3: great show, No Gamble, No Future that kind of replaced it,
Speaker 3: and my guys Brent Hanks and Jeff Platt put together.
Speaker 3: I was invited to come play on that this week, actually,
Speaker 3: but I can't get to Vegas. I'm gonna be in
Speaker 3: Vegas in two weeks, but they're not filming anything. Yeah,
Speaker 3: all definitely, I'll definitely play some televised significant dollar poker
Speaker 3: after the football season. There is when I am in Vegas,
Speaker 3: I looked there is at the Poker Ghost studios at
Speaker 3: the area there is a high Roller series where the
Speaker 3: tournaments are all ten, fifteen or twenty five thousand dollars injuries.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if you heard by I won
Speaker 3: a lot of money yesterday, so I was considering. But
Speaker 3: I'm so minus ev expected value in those because the
Speaker 3: only people who play those are the best players in
Speaker 3: the world. They're like forty person fields the best players
Speaker 3: in the world. So yeah, you got to and it's
Speaker 3: a tournament, so it's not like you can take a
Speaker 3: small loss and leave. So I listen, you probably won't
Speaker 3: see me on TV playing poker until sometime after football.
Speaker 3: But after football, be doing it again, all right.
Speaker 4: Last one, Matt asked Baker and Bayfield is starting against
Speaker 4: Baltimore this week.
Speaker 2: Do you like his chances?
Speaker 3: I didn't know that was true. Baker's starting Baker Mayfield
Speaker 3: started quarterback against the Ravens. No, I don't like his chances,
Speaker 3: but I'm happy for Baker Baker back. I don't like
Speaker 3: his chances, but I like him. I like it. I
Speaker 3: hope listen well, go up set them, Baker, go stick
Speaker 3: it to the Ravens. That'd be good for him. I
Speaker 3: have maybe be great for him. He played really well
Speaker 3: in garbage time for p J Walker two weeks ago,
Speaker 3: had two touchdowns. He played well for the first time
Speaker 3: all year. All right, fun show, good job, good job Demonse,
Speaker 3: great job by our producers. We appreciate you guys watching.
Speaker 3: As I just checked. Sorry to end on a down note,
Speaker 3: but as I just like check the Google news on
Speaker 3: the Baker thing, I'm seeing a really horrifying story out
Speaker 3: of Virginia about a shooting and members of the football team.
Speaker 3: At least three members of the football team were killed
Speaker 3: in a shooting. They don't seem to have a ton
Speaker 3: of information, so any of our listeners in that or
Speaker 3: viewers in that area of the country, obviously our thoughts
Speaker 3: with you, guys. That's a horrible, horrible story and I
Speaker 3: hate to end the podcast on that, but it's breaking news,
Speaker 3: like as we're here on the air, So thoughts and
Speaker 3: if you're the prayerful type, prayers please with the University
Speaker 3: of Virginia and their families and everything going on there.
Speaker 3: And we will be back with you guys on Thursday,
