Speaker 1: more last year.
Speaker 5: Really, Yes, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a weird deal.
Speaker 4: I haven't thrown up yet.
Speaker 5: I had no.
Speaker 4: I was well, no cheers ago. You were throwing up everywhere.
Speaker 1: Nick Bennett had to save you.
Speaker 4: Oh you're right, I was.
Speaker 1: You were like something over the little moat that appeard, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little turf air. Originally my wife was like, we
Speaker 1: should make that into a little player for the kids.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, it's really specially dogs and ship. Now
Speaker 1: we go, I gotta go, yeah, will to throw up.
Speaker 6: I went up and the I went up and where
Speaker 6: he got like the little planneries up on the hill
Speaker 6: right there. Yeah, I took a height because I'm like,
Speaker 6: if they see me, I'm disqualified.
Speaker 4: I was talking. I was talking to myself. I was
Speaker 4: over there on my knees in the dirt pants and
Speaker 4: the dirt God.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh my god, I'm not doing this though.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry for not everybody that Christmas party. Oh
Speaker 1: that's all right, no, no, but hey, I feel bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got a lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 3: Football Bucks shooting down their legs last night.
Speaker 1: Again, it's just crazy.
Speaker 4: And by the way, we did hit our. We'll get
Speaker 4: to that. Well, we did hit our.
Speaker 5: He should we just do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, boys, boys took us sixteen weeks, but we finally
Speaker 1: hit You're ready to go. You got twisted, you got
Speaker 1: to twisted. It's ready to go. We finally hit the bet.
Speaker 1: The Boys parlay one two, yea. I ain't gotta do nothing,
Speaker 1: thank god, Oh, thank god, dude, thank god.
Speaker 4: I was little. I was a little wrecked.
Speaker 5: I ain't even gonna lie.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know how.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go to the super Bowl with blond eyebrows
Speaker 6: and no beard.
Speaker 1: I would have looked you would have found a way
Speaker 1: to do something with it, though, when we just you
Speaker 1: would have found a way. Hey, if I know the
Speaker 1: Lady Walker.
Speaker 4: Huge glasses covering.
Speaker 3: When we just had Bucky Irving left, I felt so
Speaker 3: good too.
Speaker 1: Was the thing that scared me so good because you
Speaker 1: took Bucky Irving right, yea, yeah. And my whole thing
Speaker 1: about not taking Bucky was this, he does split time,
Speaker 1: so you're not only playing it like a back that
Speaker 1: doesn't single snap. You're also doing two guys like who's
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball? He's become the workhorse, bro.
Speaker 6: Yeah early so happy man.
Speaker 4: He's good man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not good enough to beat the Cowboys apparently. I
Speaker 1: feel like, did you see McCarthy. Did you see his
Speaker 1: like facial espression when the clock went to zero. It
Speaker 1: seemed like there looked like a feeling of like weight
Speaker 1: off his shoulders, as if maybe his job was on
Speaker 1: the line for that game.
Speaker 5: He getting fired.
Speaker 1: So I think he's still getting fired. But I think
Speaker 1: but also the Cowboys historically just hold on for a while.
Speaker 1: He just like fired three guys before week three.
Speaker 6: Well you know he's still You still got an old
Speaker 6: school owner that believes in giving coaches time to build.
Speaker 6: And these new owners are like, one, have you not winning,
Speaker 6: You're gone?
Speaker 4: Sorry.
Speaker 1: And I feel like the new owners they have their
Speaker 1: ear to the floor a little bit more. They do
Speaker 1: they the fans saying fans are pissed off, and they
Speaker 1: kind of easily Yeah, they be pan eames of people.
Speaker 1: But we Christmas Christmas Wednesday on Netflix right stream.
Speaker 4: Yeah, shadow Netflix sitting another opportunity.
Speaker 1: Now they're op they have an opportunity with Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs at Pittsburgh. Chiefs are fair by two and a half.
Speaker 1: The total points in that game is forty three and
Speaker 1: a half. We're gonna start with the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: number one enemy, Will Compton. How do you feel bad?
Speaker 4: I like the Chiefs. I like the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: But if Pickens right now, if Pickens comes back, I
Speaker 3: want it on record. If Pickens is playing Wednesday, I
Speaker 3: want the Steelers. But if he's not, I want the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: I think the Chiefs play too well defensively, yep. I
Speaker 3: feel like the Steelers really ship down their leg with
Speaker 3: executing offensively against the Ravens. And again it's late in
Speaker 3: the year. This is where the Chiefs start being the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: But right now, with Pickens out and questionable, I like
Speaker 3: the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: I'm with you on the chief I like the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: When you watch a chief the Texans play, there was
Speaker 1: early in the game there was a third and short
Speaker 1: that got stuffed. They give it to Pacheco. There was
Speaker 1: a fourth and one right after that they got stuff.
Speaker 1: They gave it to Pacheco. I don't know why you're
Speaker 1: not giving it to kream Hunt. That situation, or do
Speaker 1: the Chiefs way of kind of just giving a nice
Speaker 1: little toss out to Kelsey something like that. That's usually
Speaker 1: what they do in those really close yard of situations.
Speaker 1: You fast forward to the end of the game, there's
Speaker 1: four minutes on the clock and they are in four
Speaker 1: minutes a team that is not usually known as a physical,
Speaker 1: beat them down team. They go in their Chiefs way
Speaker 1: and they finished the game with the ball in their hands.
Speaker 1: That is the type of that's the kind of championship
Speaker 1: mentality they got a half. Obviously, we'll get to we'll
Speaker 1: get to the Texans in a little bit. I feel
Speaker 1: terrible for Tank Dell that injuries, awful, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: They kind of stalled out right after that happened. They
Speaker 1: had one drive where they moved the ball down the field,
Speaker 1: but really you could see, I mean c J. Stroud
Speaker 1: was upset, emotional to the point of tears. And then
Speaker 1: the Chiefs were playing, played a full four quarters of
Speaker 1: good football and Spag spag Spagnolia, spagnol, spags spags right now,
Speaker 1: he's the of the Kansas City Chiefs. He's a big
Speaker 1: reason why they have a huge opportunity to three p
Speaker 1: and the record is the way it is. I'm taking
Speaker 1: the Chiefs two and a half.
Speaker 4: What they got to be careful about though.
Speaker 3: The Texans I think got to Mahomes like twenty two
Speaker 3: different times, and the Texans aren't even close to what
Speaker 3: the Steelers. Steelers have on the defensive front, I feel
Speaker 3: like that's going to be an X factor.
Speaker 4: To shout out the.
Speaker 3: Boy Mitch with his data here, this Steelers defense, it's
Speaker 3: fit in pass rush win rate and leads the NFL
Speaker 3: and turnover sports per game. I think that'll be an
Speaker 3: X factor. And again, if Pickens plays. I do like
Speaker 3: the Steelers here because it is in Pittsburgh, short week.
Speaker 3: They're coming off a very bad loss where they have
Speaker 3: to ultimately, like you know, have a little bit of
Speaker 3: a gut check mentality on getting back on track.
Speaker 1: Turnaround ye QUI quick turnaround? I mean high Smith, what Hayward,
Speaker 1: those guys in the middle, I mean to do a
Speaker 1: phenomenal job of rushing the passer and stopping the runs.
Speaker 1: What I do like about the Chiefs is if when
Speaker 1: you watch that game in full and you hear how
Speaker 1: many names the announcers are saying as far as receivers
Speaker 1: getting the ball, I mean DeAndre Hopkin, Xavi are Worthy,
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, and then after coming back from a classical injury,
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown. He only had six catches for forty six yards.
Speaker 1: But Mahomes is really going to everybody. Last year we
Speaker 1: had a big issue with I believe it was oil
Speaker 1: Cans was your reference receivers catch the ball. Now you
Speaker 1: feel like their time of possession, the way they're handling
Speaker 1: the ball, they're moving it up and down the field,
Speaker 1: whether it's three or their six, They're laying on that
Speaker 1: defense quite a bit. I still think the Chiefs are
Speaker 1: the chiefs handle business here.
Speaker 4: Steelers. Yeah, I'm a Steelers. Give me just locked me
Speaker 4: in with the Steelers.
Speaker 1: Picks biggest matters.
Speaker 3: I think Pickens is gonna play just like that big check.
Speaker 1: Don't. We don't do guarantees. We're like lawyership. We don't
Speaker 1: do guarantees. But that's as strong as it gets when
Speaker 1: Will compan does something like that.
Speaker 4: People talking about Tomlin. Tomlin don't do dog at home.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they get the spreads in seven games at home.
Speaker 6: I'm taking the Steelers. I do want Pickings to play.
Speaker 6: I think when he plays, Russell is a better quarterback.
Speaker 6: He makes better plays. He can throw the ball up.
Speaker 6: You got a receiver out there who can snag anything.
Speaker 6: So if hopefully he played, and it'll be a good game.
Speaker 6: But I'm taking Steelers plus two and a half plus
Speaker 6: two and a half.
Speaker 3: The next one that day, Baltimore Ravens at the Houston Texas.
Speaker 3: Baltimore is favored by four in the over under is
Speaker 3: forty seven and a half.
Speaker 4: Taylor, what are you feeling here?
Speaker 1: I like the Ravens. Yeah, I like the Ravens. Some
Speaker 1: has been up with the Texans all year. You still
Speaker 1: look at CJ. Stroud's numbers and you're like, well, it's
Speaker 1: not a sophomore slump. He's moving the ball up and
Speaker 1: down the field. But Tank Dell that injury, they've really
Speaker 1: got there. They're really hurt in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: It's losing Stefan Diggs now Tank Dell. They still got
Speaker 1: Nico Collins. They've really got to start feeding. Was the
Speaker 1: guy's name? I was looking at here for a second.
Speaker 1: Where's he at? Dalton Schultz? He had a touchdown, He
Speaker 1: had a touchdown in the game. He needs to get
Speaker 1: fed early and often for them to have an opportunity here.
Speaker 1: But you Look at Marlin Humphries, he had a pick
Speaker 1: six in the game. Ro Kwan Smith in the middle,
Speaker 1: he's doing an amazing job on defense. And then Kyle Hamilton.
Speaker 1: This kid. The range that this kid has in the
Speaker 1: back end, not only in the passing game where he
Speaker 1: can go sideline the sideline, but also filling in like
Speaker 1: an extra linebacker in the run game. Even when he
Speaker 1: toss out these bubbles to the perimeter, he is so
Speaker 1: quick to get there and meet them in the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, does a great job of breaking down, good
Speaker 1: job of solo tackling. Their defense is really flying around.
Speaker 1: What I love most about the Ravens right now is
Speaker 1: when they hit the kiss technique. They keep it simple, stupid.
Speaker 1: You give the ball to Derrick Henry over twenty times
Speaker 1: a game. They did this last time. He had one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty six yards, no touchdowns, but he had
Speaker 1: twenty six carries. Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely to get
Speaker 1: out of jail free cards for Lamar Jackson Isaiah. They
Speaker 1: do a great job with the wide delays where they
Speaker 1: kind of have a guy in there. They chip to
Speaker 1: help Lamar out a little bit and then he flutters
Speaker 1: off to the flat, they toss it over to him.
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, actually fun fact, had his first touchout against
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers this past week, so let's give him
Speaker 1: a round of the making history. They play each other
Speaker 1: twice a year a boom he had his first one
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. I like what I saw this week.
Speaker 1: I like the way they were operating. I like the
Speaker 1: way they handle business and all three phases. I do
Speaker 1: worry about them in the playoffs, just because there's you know,
Speaker 1: you got to still got the Bills, you still got
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. But if they continue to have their game
Speaker 1: plan and the kiss method, they're a hard team to be.
Speaker 1: And not to mention they almost beat the Kansasity Chiefs
Speaker 1: by one toe and that was the.
Speaker 5: First game in the season. Baltimore too, I'm going Baltimore.
Speaker 6: I mean again, Taylor said that Baltimore is a different
Speaker 6: team from the first game that they played against Kansas City.
Speaker 6: You saw those guys understand how to run Derek, how
Speaker 6: to use that offense with getting all the play bakers
Speaker 6: at ball.
Speaker 5: So man, I got to go Baltimore.
Speaker 6: I just think that Houston is hurt right now and
Speaker 6: they don't got any enough weapons on a offense to
Speaker 6: beat Baltimore at the moment.
Speaker 3: I agree you want an extra Christmas present, it's Baltimore
Speaker 3: minus four to me. I like leaning on teams that
Speaker 3: play defense and can run the football this late in
Speaker 3: the season. And again, if you look at the Ravens,
Speaker 3: they're ten to three in their last thirteen games on
Speaker 3: the road. Derek had what won sixty plus this last week.
Speaker 3: They're number one in the NFL at stopping the run. Houston,
Speaker 3: They've just they've been very in consistence this year and
Speaker 3: they're kind of middle of the packet stopping the run.
Speaker 3: I love teams that can run the ball late in
Speaker 3: the year and play defense, and Baltimore is both.
Speaker 4: Of those things. So I got Baltimore.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Houston missing they starting linebackers. Still, he's still suspended
Speaker 6: from the hit on Yeah.
Speaker 4: I'll sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was just crazy.
Speaker 1: That was a crazy hit. And then the GM coming
Speaker 1: to his defense. We can't even talk to the guy.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. We can't get like psychiatric heal. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I know he's having a hard time.
Speaker 6: But they gonna pay him though, you see. They Yeah,
Speaker 6: they're gonna pay them. They said We're giving him the money.
Speaker 6: That wasn't his fault.
Speaker 4: Like, that's a good, that's a good, that's a good.
Speaker 1: That's a huge, huge franchise because that was like a
Speaker 1: million song, Like yeah, de lady, Thursday night football, So hey,
Speaker 1: Christmas his past. Hope every got what they wanted at
Speaker 1: this point. I hope everyone got they wanted at this point.
Speaker 1: But now Thursday, the opportunity to get more presents. Seattle
Speaker 1: Seahawks are playing at the Bear. Seattle's favorite minus three
Speaker 1: total points in that game is forty two and a half.
Speaker 4: The Laney Man the question first, is anybody doing Chicago?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, I.
Speaker 6: Mean, come on, no, Chicago looked terrible yesterday. Uh, I
Speaker 6: gotta go Seattle Seahawks. I know they took a tough
Speaker 6: loss against the Vikings, but Vikings are a good team.
Speaker 6: You know, you got Justin Jefferson making that last minute
Speaker 6: catch at the end of the game.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm talking about something now, Sorry about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, again, I'm talking about the Seattle Seahawks. Gam Yeah,
Speaker 6: Justin Jefferson when he made that last catch to end it.
Speaker 6: So the Seahawks is on their way. You know, they
Speaker 6: make plays when they need to. They want to get
Speaker 6: a good team with the Vikings. Everybody know how good
Speaker 6: the Vikings are this year, them turning the season around,
Speaker 6: being able to be explosive.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: But the Chicago Bears, man, they just they in shambles.
Speaker 6: I feel like they had played a terrible game last
Speaker 6: week against the Lions this Sunday against the Lions, Lions
Speaker 6: came out destroyed them. I mean it wasn't even a
Speaker 6: fair matchup of them. Boys were throwing bombs, running all
Speaker 6: over them. I think that's gonna be the same thing
Speaker 6: with the Seahawks. You got Walker, the second right Walker, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: the second coming back. I think this week is he
Speaker 6: back this week?
Speaker 4: He got hurt, He got hurt last night he was
Speaker 4: playing well.
Speaker 3: But either way, what is it? Shardonay? Yeah, Sharonay. The
Speaker 3: backup doesn't matter who's in there.
Speaker 5: Like they have they have a run Yeah, they have
Speaker 5: it still.
Speaker 6: But I mean when Walker's in there, they definitely the
Speaker 6: run game is eighty five percent better once he's out
Speaker 6: there running the ball. So I think he's gonna play
Speaker 6: this week. I think they they're gonna move the ball
Speaker 6: again on the Bears, and it's gonna.
Speaker 5: Be a good game.
Speaker 6: Hopefully they don't play to the Bears level and the
Speaker 6: Seahawks can walk away with his minus.
Speaker 1: I don't think they play at the Bears level. Like
Speaker 1: the Seawks are in a unique position. We kind of
Speaker 1: talked about this before the show, where there's teams that
Speaker 1: have already hey, we're making the playoffs. If we're not
Speaker 1: obviously in, we're at a ninety eight ninety chance. It's
Speaker 1: really just you got to win one of your last
Speaker 1: two games you're in, plus a bunch of people have
Speaker 1: to lose a whole lot. The Seattle Seahawks are not
Speaker 1: really in that position. They were at like a thirty
Speaker 1: four percent chance before they've played the Vikings. Now that
Speaker 1: number's gone even down, but they're not dead yet. So
Speaker 1: the conversation that locker room is basically this, Hey, we
Speaker 1: do not control our faith, but we can control what
Speaker 1: we can control. And you have a bad Bears team,
Speaker 1: you have to make a statement here and hope a
Speaker 1: couple of other teams lose. If that does happen, then
Speaker 1: we had a chance to get into the dance. They
Speaker 1: have more to play for than the Bears. The Bears,
Speaker 1: thinking about Coabo Stanton Lucas there, thinking about Saint Bart's,
Speaker 1: thinking about their offensive line, Vegas trip in the offseason.
Speaker 1: It's been a tough year for the Bears.
Speaker 4: It sucked.
Speaker 1: They've had some highs, but mostly lows. The Seattle Seahawks
Speaker 1: need to make a statement win here and keep their
Speaker 1: chances their playoff tenses a lot. They lose this game,
Speaker 1: it's absolutely over and they're already kind of on the fringe.
Speaker 1: They need a couple of other teams to lose. But
Speaker 1: I like the Seahawks a lot against the Bears especially.
Speaker 3: You can't lose the Bears again. Seattle's in a mustling situation.
Speaker 3: Their hopes are still alive. They're going to get another
Speaker 3: shot at the Rams here at the end of the year.
Speaker 3: But Seattle, this is a Seattle game all the way. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this Seattle all the way, but all the way.
Speaker 6: The only thing that scared me is just what you
Speaker 6: saw at Arizona and the Panthers. Panthers and in Arizona
Speaker 6: run for the playoffs, Like, can they come out there
Speaker 6: fall going to that hole and lose this game.
Speaker 1: Different circumstances, the reason why I think it's different.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, I was gonna say, I think it's two
Speaker 3: things like a few weeks ago when we were talking
Speaker 3: about both Arizona.
Speaker 4: And Seattle coming out of the bye week.
Speaker 3: Uh, Seattle was undefeated like three and oh or four
Speaker 3: and oh coming out of the bye week. Arizona had
Speaker 3: loss coming out of the bye week. Like, to me,
Speaker 3: these are two different teams and two different cultures. And
Speaker 3: also when you look at the Panthers and you look
Speaker 3: at the Bears, they're also I know they're they both suck,
Speaker 3: but Carolina is like fighting. They've been fighting in this
Speaker 3: Bryce Young's look good, like they're they're playing in quality football.
Speaker 3: You see the locker room speeches after game. The Bears,
Speaker 3: they're they're on a nine game losing streak. They're not
Speaker 3: very good. They're they're leaning on Caleb Williams, who can
Speaker 3: make plays with his legs, and yes he has no interceptions,
Speaker 3: but how much of that offense can he actually operate
Speaker 3: is a big question. They're gonna be cleaning house at
Speaker 3: the end of the year. So I think it's just
Speaker 3: they're very different situations.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't think the Bears have a
Speaker 4: shot at this.
Speaker 1: It's also if you look back at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the year, there's a level of expectation for both teams.
Speaker 1: Everyone and their mother kind of looked at the Panthers
Speaker 1: and said, Hey, this team's probably gonna suck again this year.
Speaker 1: Where gonna really find out what Bryce Young is really
Speaker 1: all about. Then with the Bears, Caleb Williams being the
Speaker 1: second coming of football Jesus, they're like, hey, we're gonna
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Chicago's get that.
Speaker 1: A lot of talent. They went, plucked a couple of
Speaker 1: guys from the Chargers. They borrow some receivers, They've revamped
Speaker 1: their offensive line. They had a rookie that was a
Speaker 1: first round pick getting into his second year, another year
Speaker 1: to developed. So there's a lot of things you can
Speaker 1: look at. The Bears'll be like, yo, we have a
Speaker 1: huge opportunity this year. And then it really just went downtown.
Speaker 1: The Panthers have had a unique course throughout the season
Speaker 1: where Bryce Young is your starting quarterback. Somewhere along the lines,
Speaker 1: he gets benched and pulled and everyone thinks this is
Speaker 1: the end of Bryce Young. We might never see him
Speaker 1: again unless he's holding a clipboard in his hand, comes
Speaker 1: back and starts playing, and starts playing in a way
Speaker 1: where he's like pissed off, like he's in a proved
Speaker 1: type of mentality now where the kids kind of got
Speaker 1: some heart, he's got some life about him. So as
Speaker 1: you know, the roller coaster started going, bears started plummeting
Speaker 1: down to earth, and they've kind of been towards that well,
Speaker 1: like the Panthers have kind of been this turbulent rocky
Speaker 1: but towards the end of the season and been like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's start stacking some wins on top of getting to
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five season. And that's kind of where
Speaker 1: they sit now. So you see different inertias kind of
Speaker 1: happening with both of these teams. And that's why I
Speaker 1: think the Panthers took care of business gainst Cardinals and
Speaker 1: war Zone, right yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't think Bryce Young is too serious with call
Speaker 1: of duty right now. Sure he will in the off season,
Speaker 1: you know, getting after that whole thing. But I feel
Speaker 1: I feel really good about Seattle. That's a that's a
Speaker 1: nice little post game. Christas Present is Honica still going on?
Speaker 1: Yeh on Thursday next this week? When's it end?
Speaker 4: You say?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you know, you know, and started like four
Speaker 1: nights again, so we have four nights left, so it'll

Speaker 1: I love it, dude, that's a present for yourself christ Yeah,

Speaker 4: Give my son.
Speaker 1: Because it's not even Honkah yet. Of course, comes back
Speaker 1: from a one year says, I'm Hebrew is Israel right now.
Speaker 1: I don't eat pork, and I'm trying to. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to cherish it.
Speaker 4: He asked me, did I get gets?
Speaker 1: You said started?
Speaker 4: You said, I dare say that I did. I don't
Speaker 4: get gifts. I like, I do. You've just been dishing gifts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, JP said, it starts on Christmas.
Speaker 1: Delaney's like, oh, ship, Yeah, you know what's impressive. How
Speaker 1: you just say, ship.
Speaker 4: I've been giving gifts. How that's all I've been doing.
Speaker 4: I've been and I'm missing formed every year forever.
Speaker 1: Cza the wingos he get me gifts. We'll do you know,
Speaker 1: haven't even started yet. Get some socks.
Speaker 4: Games of the Week. Games of the Week are our
Speaker 4: favorite picks of the week.
Speaker 3: I love talking about the Commanders minus five versus the Falcons.
Speaker 4: Now the Falcons do have some life.
Speaker 3: They beat up on a very bad New York Giants
Speaker 3: team Pinnis, He's got a lot of poise. JP being
Speaker 3: a Falcons man, you got to be pretty excited about
Speaker 3: Pinnicks because he is you know what he does the
Speaker 3: pill around.
Speaker 4: No, they don't.
Speaker 3: It's like, I mean, it could not have worked out,
Speaker 3: I guess any better. But you know, they assume that
Speaker 3: Kirk was gonna still have some juice going in and
Speaker 3: tell whenever his last year is gonna be.
Speaker 1: I think it's if you take out giving Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million dollars one hundred and twenty guaranteed,
Speaker 1: that's a great move for the Falcons.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to move for the Falcons.
Speaker 1: Wallace currency brother.
Speaker 4: Did they actually cut him? No? No, no, but he's done. No, yeah,
Speaker 4: I know he's done.
Speaker 1: They're gonna move on. He's a one hundred twenty guaranteed
Speaker 1: Oh for really? Yeah, Oh yeah, that comes to March.
Speaker 4: They gotta cut him by March. Y'all know that feeling.
Speaker 4: There's always those you know that feeling. I know that feel.
Speaker 1: Like I do like Pennis not sold on Penis he
Speaker 1: did to play the Giants, but I like, I do
Speaker 1: like how.
Speaker 4: He looks good.
Speaker 3: I mean It's not like he had some insane stat line,
Speaker 3: but just like again his poison, the way he was
Speaker 3: operating the offense like there is He's gonna have an
Speaker 3: awesome future with him. But the Commanders, they have not
Speaker 3: been ten and five since nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 4: And you look at Jayden Daniels.
Speaker 3: They trusted him to throw the ball thirty nine times
Speaker 3: against one of the better defenses in the league against
Speaker 3: the Eagles, and for him to have that last drive,
Speaker 3: he just he shows you that he is going to
Speaker 3: be that franchise quarterback. And the way he wrote that
Speaker 3: one in there on the touchdown, it was beautiful.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I love the Commanders here.
Speaker 3: I think this game is kind of it makes me
Speaker 3: nervous going Commanders because again it's going to be Pinicks
Speaker 3: a second game, and he was as solid as he
Speaker 3: looked in the first game, but again he was beating
Speaker 3: up on the Giants. I like the Commanders traveling down
Speaker 3: to Atlanta because again, the Commanders are still fighting.
Speaker 4: It is kind of dictated.
Speaker 3: I want to say they're the seventh seed right now.
Speaker 3: They would need the Packers to lose a couple of them,
Speaker 3: but you're fighting for the playoffs. You're coming off of
Speaker 3: that big time emotional win.
Speaker 4: You got McCloy, you got.
Speaker 3: Terry Scary, Terry scar Terry, You've got the run game,
Speaker 3: that they have an athletic offensive line.
Speaker 4: I think they handled this game, and I like I
Speaker 4: like Washington on as five.
Speaker 1: It does. It does worry me because the Commanders are
Speaker 1: being handled until Jalen Hurts went down and then I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was an emotional thing or was
Speaker 1: it they were taking a little bit of a deep breath, Hey,
Speaker 1: we gotta get this guy right, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they started to come back and they end
Speaker 1: up inevitably winning that game. I like the Commanders. We've
Speaker 1: been high on Jayden Daniels all year. That's been that's
Speaker 1: been both of us. We've both been a fan of him,
Speaker 1: and I've I've kind of already said it before you
Speaker 1: start talking to Michael Pennix. I love how what he
Speaker 1: came out and did. Obviously, you know, Kirk Cousins has
Speaker 1: been probably an incredible mentor. You see the way he
Speaker 1: operates and handles himself, even in situations like a defeating
Speaker 1: situation like this, I'm sure he's being great. The penis
Speaker 1: showing him what he's learned throughout the years, and I
Speaker 1: think he'll be very successful and Atlanta should be excited
Speaker 1: about their future. Right now. The Commanders are motoring, They're
Speaker 1: they're moving a little bit, and to get a win
Speaker 1: against Philly, you know, an in conference rival that has
Speaker 1: been really just moaning. Everybody had a ten game win
Speaker 1: streak and put it away regardless of their quarterback going
Speaker 1: out or not.
Speaker 3: The quarterback went out, but they still win the game
Speaker 3: even with five turnovers.
Speaker 1: True, yeah is big and.
Speaker 3: What also too makes me a little nervous with this game.
Speaker 3: I think this game is going to be awesome to
Speaker 3: watch because the Falcons still have a lot to play for,
Speaker 3: Like they can still win the division the way the
Speaker 3: way the Bucks just lost to Dallas, like they do
Speaker 3: have a lot to play for. I'm just kind of
Speaker 3: going off of they beat up on a very bad
Speaker 3: Giants team, and I.
Speaker 4: Like the energy that Washing Washington has going into this game.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, and Bobby Wagner getting hung up on the
Speaker 1: side of the sidelines. You see that, No, he like
Speaker 1: goes off to the sidelines and he like his cleats
Speaker 1: get tagged into those little like big cameras that they
Speaker 1: kind of roll up and down the sidelines. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: everyone's always like, hey, move back, move back. While the movement,
Speaker 1: I think through his asses and they're all hemmed up
Speaker 1: up in the air and all his boys is like
Speaker 1: five or six of them going to get him out,
Speaker 1: talking about team baby, get your boy, get your boy
Speaker 1: out of there, get him out of the the moment we're
Speaker 1: gonna to the g Yeah. I like I love Wagner,
Speaker 1: I love Luvu. That that defense is like just gotten
Speaker 1: better and better each week. I think they're sitting at
Speaker 1: eleven that's overall in total defense, and they started towards
Speaker 1: that twenty ish, like late teens range early in the year.
Speaker 1: They've just gotten better and better. I like him.
Speaker 3: You see that block that uh Jurgons had. He's the
Speaker 3: center for the for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: No, but please explains me in depth where I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about getting on the board.
Speaker 3: But they're double mugged up in the A gaps, so
Speaker 3: you know he's based off the point whichever he's got
Speaker 3: somebody they drop out, Yeah, third down, they drop out.
Speaker 3: Jurgons makes his way all the way around the left tackling,
Speaker 3: picks up somebody late coming off the edge.
Speaker 1: He was a free runner pop technique. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: like it was.
Speaker 3: Like silky smooth, like tight behind the entire line of scrimmage.
Speaker 4: I was insane them. You want to snake them. You
Speaker 4: don't want them to see you.
Speaker 5: You know what?
Speaker 4: How many video?
Speaker 3: Oh that's the video of the play, But how many
Speaker 3: centers do you feel I can do that?
Speaker 4: There's like, is this like a something that's easily done?
Speaker 4: They beautiful?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a pop technique. So basically, let me go back.
Speaker 1: I want to see that one more time. Want to
Speaker 1: see the back's at.
Speaker 6: It's only if he uncovered correct, are the guard is uncovered?
Speaker 5: You can do that?
Speaker 3: Is he just thinking once his guy his backer and
Speaker 3: this left ey gap drops, he's looking to wrap it.
Speaker 1: So there's there's multiple different ways to look at that.
Speaker 1: One that could be a predetermined play call where you're
Speaker 1: gonna man up your guards and tackles, especially in a
Speaker 1: seven up look. A lot of times the seven up look.
Speaker 1: Think that could be a zero where you can do
Speaker 1: full slides left right in the quarterback knows he's hot
Speaker 1: off of one area and then have a hot route.
Speaker 1: But with the center, if you have a double mug
Speaker 1: look and both guys are popping, and you might have
Speaker 1: miked one of those backers. Hey, this guy comes. Most
Speaker 1: of the time, we're gonna mic him. When that guy drops,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, hey, look and find extra work.
Speaker 1: A lot of times, if you're in that situation that
Speaker 1: would be a two jet. You would slide and bump
Speaker 1: your guard, who would bump your tackle, and your tackle
Speaker 1: would take the widest. But if you mic somebody, essentially
Speaker 1: all five of your offensive line are man on man
Speaker 1: and tackle whoever you might tackle end, so you know
Speaker 1: that everyone's accounting for him getting out and finding work
Speaker 1: Like that makes me think that that was kind of
Speaker 1: a predetermined thing because the slide not only to slide
Speaker 1: that gracefully, that beautifully we're talking about like poetry, emotion,
Speaker 1: dancing bear, but to get it behind tackles who tackles
Speaker 1: and guards who are also going backwards. I mean, if
Speaker 1: there's a good bullbus from that from that en, he
Speaker 1: ain't getting there. So that that's that's an impressive plays.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a nickel because you got everybody on
Speaker 1: their mother up and it's basically af it's the quarterback
Speaker 1: to go, you know what it is? Dude, it's third down.
Speaker 1: And the way third down meetings work, it's like obviously
Speaker 1: money down. So you sit there and you have a
Speaker 1: meeting in the offensive line room and they're going over
Speaker 1: all of the blitzes when they show this, look, this
Speaker 1: is what we're doing. When they show that, look, this
Speaker 1: is what they're doing, not to mention all the centers
Speaker 1: with there at five am already going over there with
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You leave that room, then you go into
Speaker 1: an offensive meeting room and you have that conversation where
Speaker 1: now you're going over the same exact place in the
Speaker 1: same exact order. Then you go out to walk through
Speaker 1: and you're looking through all of those plays and all
Speaker 1: that order. Then you get to practice and third down
Speaker 1: and they're showing the different variants of what they have.
Speaker 1: Then after that you're gonna go and do another walk
Speaker 1: through after practice. So that kind of stuff is beating
Speaker 1: your mind. It's like it's like getting ready for a
Speaker 1: test every single week, and that way. Uh yeah, Thursday
Speaker 1: is usually that third down day, like everything's focused on
Speaker 1: this right here. That's impressive.
Speaker 5: Movie, that's impressive.
Speaker 1: A little movement down below, I've seen that kind of
Speaker 1: ship and go to the category of football porn. That
Speaker 1: is beautiful.
Speaker 6: And he knew exactly, But most centers are the smartest
Speaker 6: old line is on the field.
Speaker 4: They especially they because he.
Speaker 6: Probably saw it and knew, like, oh, this is it
Speaker 6: right here backward, I'm out.
Speaker 1: Ben Jones would have known that it's happening. Ben Jones
Speaker 1: would not have gotten there, but.
Speaker 4: He would have happened. He would have.
Speaker 1: He would have started yelling my name in Rogers Affles
Speaker 1: and we would get out there. He can move, he
Speaker 1: can move, he move I guess, twinkling feet. I like that.
Speaker 1: A something that's beautiful about the show is how bad
Speaker 1: some of our takes are. I know I had one
Speaker 1: in college football last week that we can definitely talk
Speaker 1: about it a little bit. But one that did not
Speaker 1: age well was Will Compton coming out Justin Herbert two
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty four yards two touchdowns in an interception
Speaker 1: versus the Broncos. I got them in my Game of
Speaker 1: the week. Boys, I'm feeling douicy about it. They're playing
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Patriots have a dogshit defense. Their twenty twenty
Speaker 1: first overall and overall defense they play against the Bills
Speaker 1: go up fourteen to oh early on them, and then
Speaker 1: they kind of get stagnant. Don't have anything happening til
Speaker 1: the end of the game. Now, want to give some
Speaker 1: flowers to Drake. May boy takes a snap on the
Speaker 1: five yard line and fumbles. It drops that little boy decides,
Speaker 1: let's go and cradle that thing up like a grenade.
Speaker 1: Save your boys around you. Let's just take the swore
Speaker 1: in the chest and move forward. Next play he gets
Speaker 1: the little guy sliding out a little touchdown. Makes a
Speaker 1: game a little bit closer, because they were up twenty
Speaker 1: four to fourteen at one point. Makes you think, Holy Share,
Speaker 1: the Patriots back not so fast. No, they're not. The
Speaker 1: Chiefs are the Chiefs the Chargers. First off, the free
Speaker 1: kick was cool. That's really all I have to say
Speaker 1: about that. The free kick was cool. Chargers are down
Speaker 1: twenty one to ten at halftime. It's not looking good.
Speaker 1: The Broncos are really slightly slicing and dice of them
Speaker 1: all the way. Justin Herbert has a bad pick going
Speaker 1: into the second half and his two minute where he
Speaker 1: is on the goal line, it gets intercepted in the
Speaker 1: end zone and brought back out. So all the momentum
Speaker 1: is really on the Broncos on the Broncos sideline, they
Speaker 1: come out from half, they get a quick stop on defense,
Speaker 1: and they start motoring down the field and handling business.
Speaker 1: The way they do that is a culture situation to me. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have it here. Yeah I do.
Speaker 1: The Chargers are basically in the playoffs, which is a huge,
Speaker 1: huge tip of the cap to Harball what he's been
Speaker 1: able to do a team that was terrible last year
Speaker 1: and now at this point they have a ninety eight
Speaker 1: percent chance of players. Basically, you have to lose both
Speaker 1: of your games and fifty people have to lose also,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna make it. I like the Chargers. I
Speaker 1: think the Patriots are a little more slept on than
Speaker 1: their record shows. I think that. I think Drake May
Speaker 1: is a lot more talented than people think, and they'll
Speaker 1: have a great future with him potentially, but that's not
Speaker 1: gonna be this week. I really like Justin Herbert and
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I love the vibes. Yeah, I love the
Speaker 1: vibes of the Chargers. I feel really good about it.
Speaker 1: Their defense. For as many and big names they have,
Speaker 1: they're only ranked fifteenth, but being middle of the pack
Speaker 1: in the league is not necessarily bad. You're good enough
Speaker 1: right now. But when you got Joey Bosa, mag Derwin, James,
Speaker 1: who by the way, they put him all over the
Speaker 1: field over they having safety. They put him in a
Speaker 1: linebacker position multiple times.
Speaker 6: If it's a tight end, the best tight end, he
Speaker 6: gonna matching the whole game.
Speaker 1: But I like how the Chargers would move him around
Speaker 1: a bunch, and they brought him a lot of time
Speaker 1: in blitz, especially if they're down packages. Bo Nicks ultimate pro.
Speaker 1: You see him multiple times flipping sides two Jet three,
Speaker 1: j Hey, we're gonna flip this. We're gonna make this
Speaker 1: kind of the protection things we were talking about. But
Speaker 1: for a rookie to understand that and kind of have
Speaker 1: Derwin taken care of, taking care of as much as
Speaker 1: you can to carry James is pretty impressive. They got
Speaker 1: to him a few times. But I was impressed by
Speaker 1: the Broncos, not by the end of the score, but
Speaker 1: the way bo Knicks was handling himself. Give me the
Speaker 1: Chargers minus four and a half against the Patriots.
Speaker 3: At some point we got to start talking about Herbert
Speaker 3: being a top five quarterback.
Speaker 1: In the league. He's not wrong, bro.
Speaker 6: Mean well, I mean after this off season, they're gonna
Speaker 6: start talking about it. He's gonna start seeing big just
Speaker 6: justin Herbert everywhere.
Speaker 4: I guarantee you.
Speaker 6: Just going to the playoffs and just see how far
Speaker 6: they went. Going to the playoffs, that's when his name
Speaker 6: would get a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Watching the Bills their defense where they're at right now,
Speaker 1: giving up points to a team with the Patriots, I
Speaker 1: don't know if the Bills want to see the Chargers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can believe that will take the charge.
Speaker 1: Bro Josh Allen is amazing. That offense is incredible. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, like their defense is a is tough to
Speaker 1: watch right now.
Speaker 5: They just started.
Speaker 4: They give him twenty one.
Speaker 1: Points to the Patriots. The two games before that forty
Speaker 1: points and forty You're right, like they're having a time.
Speaker 1: They're slowing down at the most important time to speed
Speaker 1: up a little bit. I like Bills Mafia. I like
Speaker 1: Bills Mafia, I do. I like you guys a lot.
Speaker 1: I worry about your defense.
Speaker 4: And but if the Chargers are.
Speaker 3: Playing playing the Bills in the playoffs, the Chargers will
Speaker 3: be traveling.
Speaker 4: Out the playing the Patriots. And I'm not saying they're
Speaker 4: like playing down.
Speaker 3: To that level, but when the playoffs hit, like their
Speaker 3: mentality is going to be peak. You saw Josh Allen
Speaker 3: after the presser yesterday talking about, you know, do you
Speaker 3: show a certain amount of plays going into the playoffs?
Speaker 3: Are you just trying to you know, you're still trying
Speaker 3: to fight for the one seed? Like how much are
Speaker 3: you trying to expose everybody else?
Speaker 5: One?
Speaker 4: Chiefs would have to go high plays for the playoffs. No, yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't at all.
Speaker 1: Where they sit out we we we've talked about this.
Speaker 1: A lot of teams have already like made their for
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They know where they're at, they know where
Speaker 1: they're saying. Very few teams are clamoring for like they
Speaker 1: move up a seat or not. A lot of teams
Speaker 1: are dead and there's a couple in the middle. When
Speaker 1: it comes to the Bills, essentially, the Chiefs have to
Speaker 1: lose both of their next games and they have to
Speaker 1: win both of their games, and so it's like, wait,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna.
Speaker 4: Be oh yeah, Bills, they're still fighting. Like if the
Speaker 4: Chiefs lose the next two, they can potentially have.
Speaker 1: Home there with the Ravens and the Steelers. Though, because
Speaker 1: they're still they're still duking it out and they could
Speaker 1: snake it. If the Bills don't handle business, they could stink.
Speaker 4: Bills will handle business.
Speaker 1: I think they will.
Speaker 4: And to your point, like you're not going to empty
Speaker 4: the clip.
Speaker 5: Like no, I ain't gonna show you everything.
Speaker 4: Strategy against the Patriots.
Speaker 3: And people are talking about the little trip up by
Speaker 3: the Lions when they scored against two scores already.
Speaker 4: Like white Peter Schrager shout out the boy, Peter Schreger.
Speaker 3: He's like, hey, is this Ben Johnson in front of
Speaker 3: Chicago showing them what he could do as a head coach.
Speaker 4: I kind of showing off a little bit when he's
Speaker 4: you know, how to play?
Speaker 1: And the play came about right, so they the When
Speaker 1: the Bears played the Packers, Jordan Love actually tripped and
Speaker 1: they thought they were going to do it, and they
Speaker 1: noticed that the defense all flowed up and he ended
Speaker 1: up getting the ball off to one of their tight
Speaker 1: ends or receiver. Didn't end up being a touchdown. But
Speaker 1: if you look at that play next to the Lion's play,
Speaker 1: it's the exact same play, the exact same motion.
Speaker 4: Stop.
Speaker 6: Well they did they did a wise sneak though he
Speaker 6: snuck across the dude, it's the same.
Speaker 1: It is the same play. It's like a loosey type
Speaker 1: of movement protection. You're faking the handoff and you're rolling
Speaker 1: around behind the right tackle and you should have your
Speaker 1: your play to the left side where your eyes are perfect.
Speaker 1: They faked that, so the Packers literally actually fell, actually fumbled,
Speaker 1: actually picked it up, and I got one off late.
Speaker 1: The Lions just pretended. I'll show you a clip too,
Speaker 1: because it's actually insane. I saw it this morning. It
Speaker 1: was like, holy fuck. They actually planned that based off
Speaker 1: what they saw earlier in the season with Heal who
Speaker 1: Anyone who bet against the Lions last week, it is dumb.
Speaker 1: How could you fucking bet against the Lion?
Speaker 4: That is crazy?
Speaker 3: But I do I like your Charger's bake And if
Speaker 3: you want some data to back it up, Hardball is
Speaker 3: twenty six and seven against the spread as a favorite
Speaker 3: by six points or less.
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, that's my dog, well said mine's. I'm gonna
Speaker 6: go uh Packers at the Vikings.
Speaker 5: Both teams are.
Speaker 6: Being has been good this season, you know, I mean,
Speaker 6: moving the ball well, playing well. Quarterbacks are playing well.
Speaker 6: But I gotta go with the Packers. I gotta take
Speaker 6: the Packers plus two. And the reason why I'm taking
Speaker 6: the Packers plus two is because the Vikings are the
Speaker 6: third worst team in the league against the past and Jordan,
Speaker 6: oh my god, Jordan Love right now is blowing up
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 5: His passing game has been incredible.
Speaker 6: He's been taking off these last few weeks, and I
Speaker 6: just don't think they can stop Brandon Jacobs.
Speaker 5: Did I say Joshobs?
Speaker 4: Brandon Jacobs. Do y'all remember Brandon Jacobs? Yeah, he used
Speaker 4: to take souls out there on the field. Yeah.
Speaker 5: God, I don't know what I thought about.
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, you got those two guys on offense
Speaker 6: moving right now. The defense is playing good enough where
Speaker 6: you know they can may hold the Vikings a few
Speaker 6: few points. But you gotta know, the Vikings only been
Speaker 6: winning these games, squeaking by winning games right now. They
Speaker 6: getting the job done, but they're barely winning games, and
Speaker 6: I don't think they're gonna be able to do that
Speaker 6: with the Packers and they defense and that offense coming together, especially,
Speaker 6: I know they they both on the line of being
Speaker 6: in the playoffs and clinching that. So the Packers got
Speaker 6: to show up this week. I think this's gonna be
Speaker 6: a big game for them to go out there and
Speaker 6: beat the Vikings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this game is gonna be electric. I'm just going
Speaker 3: over here. I don't know how to pick this game
Speaker 3: because they both they both run the ball well, they
Speaker 3: both play well on defense, They're both both sides defensively,
Speaker 3: they're opportunistic, go on getting takeaways. Yea, but yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't necessarily I'm gonna stay away from the spread on this, But.
Speaker 4: I do like the over forty eight.
Speaker 1: Over forty eight looks really good. I like the Vikings.
Speaker 1: Are they Sam Darnold, he still got his chrip on
Speaker 1: his shoulder. He says he got his PhD from Sean
Speaker 1: McVay and how to handle, how to understand offenses and
Speaker 1: everything like that. He's got something serious to prove right here.
Speaker 1: He wants a big contract coming up to the offseason.
Speaker 4: He's gonna get one.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get He's gonna get one. But I'm saying
Speaker 1: he's he's making statements. He's got that killer and see
Speaker 1: he got that redhead killers going on.
Speaker 4: Remember the floor.
Speaker 6: They all come from the same tree, you paying Donald, No,
Speaker 6: they they got a rookie.
Speaker 4: They waiting on him to get healthy. Why pay Donald?
Speaker 4: But you don't necessarily know exactly what you have with
Speaker 4: the rookie.
Speaker 5: But he was the starter until he got hurt out.
Speaker 4: He was the first round. True.
Speaker 1: Here's a good thing about Sam and Donald.
Speaker 3: He didn't get it. He didn't get a shot last year.
Speaker 3: Which team was he gonna last year?
Speaker 4: The Niners?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: From Kyle Shanahana, Yeah, yeah, the same.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, the Viki's are an interesting place because
Speaker 1: they could actually pay Sam Donald and see if it
Speaker 1: works out with JJ. Because Sam Donald's gonna have a
Speaker 1: hot market. You can go and trade him, give him,
Speaker 1: get him a team friendly deal, and then forty five
Speaker 1: million dollars year because as the quarterbacks are commanding right now,
Speaker 1: and just say, hey, we're going to keep you. We
Speaker 1: want to see if this guy develops. But you truly
Speaker 1: have you played, You've earned this contract. But just know
Speaker 1: that we we should be able to We can be
Speaker 1: able to trade you at any point if Sam is willing.
Speaker 4: To do that.
Speaker 1: But I'm Sam. I don't want to go to the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans and find a home win a super Bowl.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If I'm thinking just purely unbiased, I'm thinking I gotta
Speaker 1: get the Nationville.
Speaker 6: They're not gonna give him a big deal, like long
Speaker 6: term deal, and I think that's what he's looking for
Speaker 6: right now, is a long term deal. So he's going
Speaker 6: to go to, like you said, either Tennessee, a team
Speaker 6: that needs a quarterback that's gonna give him a four
Speaker 6: year contract half his shit can't guarantee. Why stay with
Speaker 6: the Vikings where they probably say, we're gonna give you
Speaker 6: a two year contract or a one year contract.
Speaker 5: Let's see where you at. Because we did just draft
Speaker 5: a guy that's promising.
Speaker 6: We hope he can be our franchise quarterback, but we
Speaker 6: want to keep you just in case something happens.
Speaker 4: Do you want to be that guy.
Speaker 1: You know who's in the worst position right now? You
Speaker 1: know you don't want to be Jaj McCarthy because the
Speaker 1: expectation you're twelve and two or twelve and thirteen two.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, you don't want to be the guy taking
Speaker 1: over the ranks, like we just got rid of the
Speaker 1: quarterback that got us at this point. Now we all
Speaker 1: got to look at you and say, hey, brother, go
Speaker 1: get it. Done for us. You're like, holy fuck, I
Speaker 1: haven't playing a snap in the NFL yet.
Speaker 4: Well, he played for season.
Speaker 1: He hasn't played a snap of the NFL yet. I mean,
Speaker 1: you go to preseason, you get cut. Did you play
Speaker 1: in the NFL? No? Yeah, no, you have a couple
Speaker 1: of cool pictures with you in the uniform.
Speaker 5: That's what I'm telling everybody.
Speaker 4: Everybody too.
Speaker 1: You saw me five snaps third preseason game.
Speaker 5: Yeah you played.
Speaker 4: I played the whole game.
Speaker 1: But you go ahead, look at that four one K
Speaker 1: that credited season nowhere to be.
Speaker 5: Seen, nowhere.
Speaker 1: About.
Speaker 4: It's not there. But homies go back home. You're like,
Speaker 4: I probably look so good.
Speaker 1: Cut you, but you know it is like me like me,
Speaker 1: you know what it is.
Speaker 4: You got to play, and you got a shot in
Speaker 4: the NFL. You have to wear the jersey. You have
Speaker 4: to wear the jersey to keep the jersey.
Speaker 1: Is there anything sadder than seeing a rookie, undrafted rookie,
Speaker 1: not know that he's going to get cut, and then
Speaker 1: get cut and you see him crying walking out of
Speaker 1: the locker room. That ship broke my heart, every single
Speaker 1: me I know, not you, because you're fucking.
Speaker 5: The bro crying buddy here, like, why are you crying?
Speaker 1: His dream has been shattered?
Speaker 4: Don't walk in here?
Speaker 6: Then if you just got cut, take yours straight to
Speaker 6: the car. Why do they come in there and look?
Speaker 3: I'm like, because they had a relationship with you, or
Speaker 3: they thought they did. Many got this man has zero
Speaker 3: and you're going to say, what the trip? There's thirty
Speaker 3: one other teams out there.
Speaker 1: You never you never cried during the football game.
Speaker 5: Never.
Speaker 1: You know, he's not a Miami longest game in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I got knocked out, you broke your leg, walked in
Speaker 1: the room.
Speaker 4: I wasn't crying.
Speaker 1: I walked in the X ray room and held your
Speaker 1: head against my chest while you saw you was crying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I cried. I knocked out. I know where I was.
Speaker 4: I was on morphine.
Speaker 1: You're still getting x rays. Was facing the way and
Speaker 1: they were taking X rays and I said, hey, bro,
Speaker 1: you good, and I put your I put you took
Speaker 1: that beautiful head of yours. I put it right here,
Speaker 1: and you just are weeping.
Speaker 5: I don't remember that.
Speaker 3: You don't remember that, Remember that you got tough?
Speaker 6: Guy?
Speaker 1: Were talking about my dog.
Speaker 4: Was Lady.
Speaker 1: Lady left the Titans. He wouldn't even do walk throws
Speaker 1: in the turf.
Speaker 4: He would.
Speaker 1: He would bring a chair out with the big ass
Speaker 1: fucking shoes and just sit there. Na man, my knees man,
Speaker 1: my bat man, what we're doing, mister tough guy over here,
Speaker 1: and never cried his like a kid, you'll walk through.
Speaker 4: I practiced on the grass.
Speaker 6: If they went inside, I'm like, you know, this ain't
Speaker 6: gonna work for me, and they'd be like you good, chill.
Speaker 5: I'll be like, all right, good, I mean.
Speaker 4: All right, she ain't gonna work for me. Yeah, it
Speaker 4: ain't gonna work for me. We need new turf. I
Speaker 4: used to say that.
Speaker 5: Then they get new turf, we get cut, they get
Speaker 5: new turf.
Speaker 1: Great Ballsy pet to a bi pick segment brought to
Speaker 1: us by Fireball. The Ballsy Pro Pick of the Week
Speaker 1: is sponsored by Fireball. Just said it, I'll say it again.
Speaker 1: Fireball is a perfect shot for game day, whether you're
Speaker 1: buying the steaky little shooters before going into the stadium
Speaker 1: or going big with the Fireball keg af for your
Speaker 1: tail gate, where it's a pregame shot at tailgate law
Speaker 1: or a salvatory touchdown shot at the bar. No matter what,
Speaker 1: it's guaranteed to ignite your game day. Uh, I fucked
Speaker 1: up my ballsy picked. I didn't realize I fucked it up,
Speaker 1: but I fucked it up. That's on me. Hand up accountability.
Speaker 1: I no, I was going on Seattle six. I was
Speaker 1: moving the word and a half. Okay, alright, Seattle six
Speaker 1: and a half. So Seattle's favorite. Most of you guys,
Speaker 1: try to put your little hats up. Look at the
Speaker 1: text to the locker room.
Speaker 4: But you're saying that Seattle. The line is that monastery.
Speaker 3: Right now, you're gonna move it to miney six and
Speaker 3: a half plus odds.
Speaker 4: That's gonna be your balls.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be my ballsy pick. We've already talked about Seattle.
Speaker 1: We've already talked about Bears. Know that it's there, Enjoy it,
Speaker 1: love it, taste it, put in your mouth. It taste delicious. Though, boys,
Speaker 1: what you got?
Speaker 5: I go for it because the Titans and Jaguars game.
Speaker 1: Is and it's a one point spread, so that's a
Speaker 1: very un bringing I mean, come on, man, what do
Speaker 1: you want to meet?
Speaker 4: It was early.
Speaker 3: Just going to pick this game is there's one hey,
Speaker 3: just going to pick this game is both.
Speaker 1: This is a there's one note on here for MS cars.
Speaker 1: It's maybe the toilet Bowl, I mean holy ship.
Speaker 4: And that's literally what it is. But I'm taking Titan's
Speaker 4: money line Rudolph.
Speaker 6: I think with Rudolph as the as the quarterback, we
Speaker 6: can get the job done.
Speaker 5: You gotta look at what he did last week. Even
Speaker 5: though they Kenny Moore.
Speaker 6: They still put up almost had a chance to win
Speaker 6: the game.
Speaker 1: Did you hear the commentaris in that game. Yes, So
Speaker 1: when he threw that pick to Kenny Moore, which by
Speaker 1: the way, right in his chest, right in his ch
Speaker 1: that's why they benched Will Levis. Those are Will Levis
Speaker 1: type of interception. Will Love was just taking bullets.
Speaker 6: And the and then you did you see they put
Speaker 6: tie for tie for most interceptions.
Speaker 4: Will Levis said, crazy, got.
Speaker 1: Our quarterback Jonathan Taylor going.
Speaker 4: Touch in the coach like you know, they don't want
Speaker 4: to throw the football.
Speaker 3: At all they want Yeah, they pulled.
Speaker 6: They pulled the running back at the second half they
Speaker 6: had to play.
Speaker 4: That is crazy.
Speaker 1: Actually, I do like to pick. I think the Titans
Speaker 1: will win.
Speaker 4: I think I like the Titans.
Speaker 1: He actually is way better, He's a way better. I
Speaker 1: feel bad saying that I will. It's a good guy
Speaker 1: for the show in front of the show. But yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: Garrett doesn't have a helmet.
Speaker 3: Be all right, you know I'm going Broncos Broncos money
Speaker 3: line against the Bengals. Bengals are favored by minus three
Speaker 3: and a half. But the Broncos got to get this one.
Speaker 3: It'd be their first time making the playoffs in twenty
Speaker 3: fifteen when Peyton Manning was the quarterback. And if you
Speaker 3: look at the Bengals, Bengals, their offense, Joe Burrow, it's
Speaker 3: gonna be it's tough to pick this game because of
Speaker 3: that offense. But as long as the Broncos win time possession,
Speaker 3: they run the football. They established the run game. Bow
Speaker 3: Nicks makes a few plays with his feet. We say
Speaker 3: it every week, his legs. But if you look at
Speaker 3: the Bengals, the only wins that they have on the season,
Speaker 3: they are on a three game win streak. However, those
Speaker 3: those wins the Cowboys, Titans, and Browns. There are other
Speaker 3: wins the Panthers, Browns, uh and the Giants.
Speaker 4: If okay, if you look at.
Speaker 3: Their losses, here's here's what I'm gonna categorize it. If
Speaker 3: you look at their losses Steelers, Chargers, Ravens twice, Patriots, Chiefs, Eagles, Commanders.
Speaker 3: I think the Broncos fit that box more than they
Speaker 3: do who they've.
Speaker 4: Beat, So I'm going with the Broncos money line again.
Speaker 3: Tough loss against the Chargers last week when they blew
Speaker 3: that league, when they blew the lead, They're flying out
Speaker 3: to Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: They gotta have this game because they are in a.
Speaker 3: Race right now with the Chargers and who else Chiefs No, No,
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, Chiefs wanted when the Raiders are dead.
Speaker 4: Raiders are dead, but.
Speaker 1: Chargers are gonna make the playoffs. These two teams are
Speaker 1: kind of fighting for that that last spot because obviously
Speaker 1: have the Steelers and the Ravens in the AFC North.
Speaker 1: I was with the world I was looking up is
Speaker 1: like the Bengals chance to win the playoffs, they have
Speaker 1: to win out and a couple of things to happen.
Speaker 1: But like it's like that means like, how are you
Speaker 1: not dead? And it's like I don't know. And that's
Speaker 1: that's essentially the cinn'ta ati Bengals. They just continue to
Speaker 1: just somehow have a pulse for this season while everybody
Speaker 1: else is just getting bank left and right.
Speaker 4: I don't like the pick.
Speaker 1: I don't like to pick because all I see in
Speaker 1: my head right now is a fifteen yard line where
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is laid out completely throwing the ball and
Speaker 1: hits his boy right in the chest. He just has
Speaker 1: a way of doing things. He gots boys katana samurai swords.
Speaker 1: You can get guys, would you rather have? Would you
Speaker 1: rather have a truck or a legitimate samurai sword?
Speaker 4: It was like a sign of respect right back the truck.
Speaker 1: From real battles that actually have stories.
Speaker 4: Who told him?
Speaker 6: I mean that that's what the Asian people told him
Speaker 6: when they sold them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but brought party.
Speaker 3: Said so that's what the Asian people told him when
Speaker 3: they sold them for probably two thousand.
Speaker 1: I think that the katanas are maybe the coolest gift
Speaker 1: I've ever said. No brought Purty out his boys toyotas,
Speaker 1: but it's like one of.
Speaker 4: The it's und he's probably sponsored by sponsor about Montana boy.
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, he's sponsored about it.
Speaker 1: I do I think the I guess that's the reason.
Speaker 5: You rather have a sword than the truck that's paid
Speaker 5: for already.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he can get him, I can buy myself
Speaker 1: a truck.
Speaker 5: We talking by ourself.
Speaker 1: But imagine having a samurai sworder with like a story,
Speaker 1: like some battlefield meeting, like, oh, who got that for you?
Speaker 1: Like when I played in the NFL, did my quarterback
Speaker 1: got that from me?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna Joe Burrow, who's wearing a gold jacket right now.
Speaker 6: Joe, I'm gonna go to the pawn shop and crackheare
Speaker 6: actually did use it in a fucking battle.
Speaker 4: But that's the thing.
Speaker 3: It's it's a gift that you would never think to
Speaker 3: get yourself anyway.
Speaker 4: True.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of people who have summarized.
Speaker 4: Swords, Delanny, you've been.
Speaker 6: I just remember I think I have a summarai sword,
Speaker 6: but it's like it looked like a cane. It ain't
Speaker 6: the like you. You don't have the No, that's a
Speaker 6: summarize sword. You've never seen the Blind Ninja?
Speaker 4: What is that?
Speaker 1: What sitcoms out off this.
Speaker 6: Night about like nineteen ninety movie back in the day.
Speaker 6: He was blind, He was a ninja and he had
Speaker 6: a cane. But it's not called Daredevil.
Speaker 4: It's called the Blind Fury. Look it up, Blind Fury.
Speaker 4: Ain't no monitors out here to go man. He googled it.
Speaker 1: Shoot the show right.
Speaker 4: Nineteen Blind Fury. It was one of the movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would much rather have Sam. You can buy yourself
Speaker 1: a truck. You're pulling a new vehicle every week. I
Speaker 1: know that, like fits come to show you.
Speaker 4: Course, that's my money.
Speaker 5: I really use your money to get the truck black. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, guy, you know what Honker starts? Rapid fire?
Speaker 4: Yeah, rabbit fire.
Speaker 6: Hey yeah, I'll fuck that up.
Speaker 4: Literally. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry for all the Jewish people out there. I
Speaker 5: crashed that one. Sorry about that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, sleep, it's a it's hard shoes to fill.

Speaker 4: The crown is yours.
Speaker 3: Fellas the college football playoff, Yeah, every home team beat
Speaker 3: their ass, beat.
Speaker 1: Their ass, and there's a massive exposure at the break
Speaker 1: A little bit confish about Kirkirbsheet was going on. Kirk
Speaker 1: had a good take. He was talking about the best
Speaker 1: teams and the most deserving teams, and that's the kind
Speaker 1: of his take. He was a following shuit with SMU
Speaker 1: and Indiana, especially because Indiana had a eleven win season. However,
Speaker 1: the teams that they played, he said, they weren't real teams,
Speaker 1: Like you need to look at these other teams that
Speaker 1: played a better competition and then put those guys in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. This is my take on college football right now.
Speaker 1: I think the Bulls were about to talk about I
Speaker 1: hate doing this at the show. It's dumb because we're
Speaker 1: now in a situation where nil is in a tough spot.
Speaker 1: The transfer portal is in a tough spot because you
Speaker 1: literally have players like Penn State their backup running back.
Speaker 1: He decides to enter the transfer portal. He doesn't want
Speaker 1: to leave the team in case Penn State wins. He
Speaker 1: knows he have a better opportunity, but because the portal
Speaker 1: is open right now, he has to essentially leave to
Speaker 1: go to a new team. Now, Penn State goes on
Speaker 1: a run. Their defense keeps playing the way they are,
Speaker 1: and the offense can start keeping up a little bit.
Speaker 1: They have a real shot to win the national championship.
Speaker 1: But so like the transferport is in a weird spot,
Speaker 1: and then these bowl games are also in a real spot.
Speaker 1: Like you look at a lot of these games are
Speaker 1: multiple transfers, multiple opt outs, multiple guys not going and playing.
Speaker 1: I think the only two teams that have said they're
Speaker 1: playing was Colorado and BYU. Deon Sanders hits a press conference,
Speaker 1: he goes. We don't do opt outs. You have a
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner and potentially a top five quarterback playing
Speaker 1: in that game, but not every college game is going.
Speaker 1: So when you look at some of the bowl games
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about, it's like it's so hard to
Speaker 1: gauge an opinion on these things because like Michigan, for instance,
Speaker 1: your three best players are playing, you've had multiple transfers.
Speaker 1: Alabama's had thirteen transfers out out of there, So like
Speaker 1: we need to find a way to either. I think
Speaker 1: this is what I would do, and it's gonna make
Speaker 1: some coulorureball fans, Matt, because you're gonna get rid of
Speaker 1: some massive bowl games. But I think you do away
Speaker 1: with the bulls. I think the bulls are now a
Speaker 1: dying feature where there's something about sunset and passaging the
Speaker 1: California during the Rose Bowl, as the sun is going
Speaker 1: down over the horizon of those mountains and you pan
Speaker 1: over and you see a sea of one color and
Speaker 1: then half the other curl. That is beautiful. That is
Speaker 1: the college football that we all grew up knowing. But
Speaker 1: that is kind of dying. I think you need to
Speaker 1: expand this playoff to I don't know how many teams.
Speaker 1: I'm not a bracketeer. I don't know those things, but
Speaker 1: like get the playoffs with a big number, and right
Speaker 1: after championship week, go into the playoffs and scratch these
Speaker 1: relya quest these cheese at bulls, like if they want
Speaker 1: to sponsor it and play home fields, play bys, get
Speaker 1: you know, you get SMU. They they play somebody at
Speaker 1: home and then they have to go up north and
Speaker 1: they have to go out west. Like this is the
Speaker 1: college football is turning into the NFL, and the best
Speaker 1: way to do that is to match it the way
Speaker 1: the NFL is doing it. Because you see what happened
Speaker 1: during the playoff season. Those games were terrible. We watched
Speaker 1: this weekend. Notre Dame smacked Indiana, Penn State's defense, Penn
Speaker 1: State SMU through two pick sixes and a pick in
Speaker 1: the end zone. Uh Tennessee got fucking dog walked against
Speaker 1: a pissed off Ohio State team, which I hand up,
Speaker 1: I was totally wrong about that. And then finally it
Speaker 1: was Clemston, Texas. That game was competitive for the first series.
Speaker 1: When Clemson scored, coming.
Speaker 4: Back was coming back, came back, but it wasn't a
Speaker 4: close game.
Speaker 1: It was, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 4: It was closer than outside the first it was.
Speaker 1: It was the most competitive game of all four of
Speaker 1: those games. But I love the idea of I loved
Speaker 1: watching a SEC team travel up north and play a
Speaker 1: team in Columbus, Ohio. I loved watching s m U
Speaker 1: having to travel to Penn State during a wide out.
Speaker 1: You I think we should get away from the ball
Speaker 1: situation where it's like we have the historical rose bull
Speaker 1: and historical games, and let's buy into your team. Is
Speaker 1: going to see what this team's traditions are all about
Speaker 1: when you step into their building. Now it's a whole
Speaker 1: it's a whole different ballgame, and that excites me a
Speaker 1: little bit more about college football.
Speaker 4: But it's tough going.
Speaker 3: Back to your very first thing with the with what
Speaker 3: Herbstreet was saying, Yeah, you were talking about most deserving
Speaker 3: and the best and best teams. Are you saying like
Speaker 3: the criteria should change because then you went into the nil.
Speaker 4: And porter and then let's do it with games. Right.
Speaker 1: So the way I think Mkirk was alluding to was
Speaker 1: if you have the teams of the best records, it's like, Okay, Indiana,
Speaker 1: they were eleven and one the teams they beat. The
Speaker 1: one team they played that was ranked was Ohio State,
Speaker 1: and that that game was not competitive at all. Then
Speaker 1: you look at I mean, JP is sitting right in
Speaker 1: front of me. You look at a South Carolina team
Speaker 1: who gets hot at the end of the year. They
Speaker 1: win their last six games. They take Alabama down the wire,
Speaker 1: who's been, you know, has dominated college football landscape forever.
Speaker 1: They lose to LSU by one play and the only
Speaker 1: bad loss they really have was an ole miss. You
Speaker 1: look at a team like that who's maybe a little
Speaker 1: bit more deserving. They're hot at the right time, they're
Speaker 1: doing what they're supposed to do, but they have three losses.
Speaker 1: It's like, how do we get Maybe these teams that
Speaker 1: deserve to be in for I'm sorry, these teams that
Speaker 1: are the best should be playing against the best, as
Speaker 1: opposed to, well, this team had the best records, so
Speaker 1: they should get in and don't look at necessary who
Speaker 1: they played.
Speaker 5: Well, we used to do that.
Speaker 6: I think it's changed over the years because people like,
Speaker 6: how does an undefeated team not make it to the playoffs?
Speaker 6: So I think that's what that criteria is. Who was undefeated,
Speaker 6: didn't I'm talking about years.
Speaker 1: Probably you see years, you see a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago they champions.
Speaker 3: But it's like how far do you expand it? Like
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily hate the bowl game scenario. I think
Speaker 3: you just got to move the portal till after the season.
Speaker 3: The teams will still get to participate in a postseason
Speaker 3: game where you know you're able to develop younger cats,
Speaker 3: more and everything else, because yeah, the portal, with the
Speaker 3: portal being open right now, it makes all these bowl
Speaker 3: games like as far as like gambling goes and picking
Speaker 3: these games very hard because you don't know who's playing, right,
Speaker 3: but I don't you know, we're kind of a victim
Speaker 3: of the criteria. It's like, how do you know who's
Speaker 3: the most deserving and who the best teams are? Because
Speaker 3: how do you argue an Indiana team or an SMU,
Speaker 3: especially with Tennessee getting whipped. Yeah, absolutely, it's like how
Speaker 3: do you look standing and make it better because at
Speaker 3: the end of the day, you see which teams, Like
Speaker 3: if you look at the NFL, the teams who have
Speaker 3: now obviously the Chiefs wiped that away, but when you
Speaker 3: guys beat the Ravens and was that twenty nineteen, But
Speaker 3: any team who has a bye week. You always wonder
Speaker 3: when they're in the playoffs, they're having a bye week
Speaker 3: hurt them, Like having that much more time off. These
Speaker 3: seventeen to twenty two year old kids are getting like
Speaker 3: a month off to prepare for these games, and you
Speaker 3: see which teams handled the urgency, handled the focus better.
Speaker 3: Because I'm sitting there watching, I'll tex with a jack
Speaker 3: about it too. I'm sitting there watching the Tennessee game,
Speaker 3: and I'm thinking of my head, I wonder how many
Speaker 3: of these kids actually give a fuck that they're losing
Speaker 3: right now because the portals open because of the nil
Speaker 3: and everything else.
Speaker 4: To me, you just.
Speaker 3: See the teams that handled their business for those four
Speaker 3: weeks and kept that focus going on. Because you're sitting there,
Speaker 3: you're looking at Oregon, Arizona State, Boise State, and in
Speaker 3: Georgia where it's like, hey, it could be a benefit
Speaker 3: that these teams got to play in the first round
Speaker 3: because they're not having so much extra time off. Like
Speaker 3: by the time these teams play, who had the bye week,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be what five weeks, six weeks, Like it's
Speaker 3: it's somewhere like they're gonna have a lot of money
Speaker 3: and handling. Again, we talk about just having one by
Speaker 3: week with the NFL.
Speaker 4: Playoffs, the kids are having all that time, but keeping.
Speaker 1: That focus is gonna be there's there's always the products.
Speaker 3: Always the product is not like these games might be closer,
Speaker 3: Like you look at like old Miss Alabama South Carolina,
Speaker 3: who could have deservingly been in the playoffs and made
Speaker 3: it a lot more spicier, But it's it's very hard
Speaker 3: to kind of dictate. The one thing I do think
Speaker 3: these are change is you just take it the one
Speaker 3: through twelve teams, the top four it would have been Texas,
Speaker 3: it would have been Texas, Oregon, Oregon, Penn State, and
Speaker 3: they just have their bye weeks and then the rest
Speaker 3: you know, you're having.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're having more of those teams.
Speaker 1: I like expanding it with four more teams, and I
Speaker 1: like starting it. And I haven't put a whole lot
Speaker 1: of thought on this because it is we're one two
Speaker 1: days since like the first playoffs have been played. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it just it seems like they really didn't have
Speaker 1: it all figured out or put together. Because if you
Speaker 1: go on the other side of like, hey, having the
Speaker 1: most deserving teams in, it's like how are you calculating
Speaker 1: all that? And then the snubs get even bigger. I
Speaker 1: think you make it a little bit bigger. As soon
Speaker 1: as the championship weekend is over, that next week is
Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs. You're playing the next week,
Speaker 1: and then those first teams have their buy and so
Speaker 1: on and so forth. So you're playing all through December
Speaker 1: and you're finishing the season in the middle of January
Speaker 1: like it is right now.
Speaker 6: But what about the smaller schools like this whack conference
Speaker 6: and all the other conference they don't get a bowl, like, they.
Speaker 4: Don't get a chance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can keep all games for them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 4: That's what I give them. You got to give them something.
Speaker 1: Cheese, a bullpen, whatever you have that.
Speaker 5: I like that idea.
Speaker 1: But the I love the idea of the playoffs being
Speaker 1: played at the college stadiums that the teams that who
Speaker 1: deserve it true because you showed out your organ your issue,
Speaker 1: you're traveling. It's like, Yo, you want that home game.
Speaker 1: You want that you want to feel like a house
Speaker 1: state or Penn State where you're like, yeah, come into
Speaker 1: our fucking house and see what happens. Because I mean,
Speaker 1: I was this morning I was talking to a couple
Speaker 1: of Tennessee fans and they're like, is the worst fan
Speaker 1: base I've ever been around. And the part of me
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, yeah, I hate hot State. But also
Speaker 1: it's like, now you Southern people know, hey, big thing
Speaker 1: goes fucking hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was all Orange.
Speaker 6: I mean fans, but in the game yet happen.
Speaker 1: Imagine a playoff game in Nebraska count middle of December.
Speaker 5: Nuts crazy, they ain't got ship going round.
Speaker 1: I liked. I liked the idea. I like the idea
Speaker 1: of having all the playoff games played at home stadiums
Speaker 1: and then obviously have the national championship at the Rose Ball.
Speaker 1: Haven't have that prestigious like old game. That's just my thought.
Speaker 1: That's just you expanded sixteen.
Speaker 3: Like those teams gonna be getting a bye week to
Speaker 3: be playing home field Avandyeah.
Speaker 5: Like you said, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, I mean yeah, because you would like to
Speaker 3: see you know, South Carolina was hot at the end
Speaker 3: of view they was you're seeing Bama. You know, Bama's
Speaker 3: on the was on the outside screaming about it too.
Speaker 3: You can see a Bama takes here, but you can
Speaker 3: see old Miss Lane Kippin's.
Speaker 4: Out there tweeting every game. Yeah, that Tennessee one. That's
Speaker 4: when he got a little quiet.
Speaker 1: It all came together for him. Tennessee would have just
Speaker 1: done anything but talk about it.
Speaker 3: Alabama favorite minus eleven versus Michigan over unders forty three.
Speaker 3: Half the teams are opted out portals going to the draft.
Speaker 1: Alabama's got thirteen players in the portal, Colston Lovelin, Mason Graham,
Speaker 1: Will Johnson for University of Michigan not playing. They declared
Speaker 1: for the NFL Draft. I think the big game changer
Speaker 1: in this game is Jalen Milroe decided to play. I
Speaker 1: think when you see Illinois and Illinois quarterback who will
Speaker 1: talk about a little bit. He does a good job
Speaker 1: kind of being a dual threat quarterback a little bit,
Speaker 1: but it's nothing compared to Jalen Milroe. Domo has got
Speaker 1: incredible numbers. I think this is a game where you
Speaker 1: look at Alabama and you're like, yeah, like they'll probably
Speaker 1: handle business here. I'll take Michigan plus eleven. But Michigan
Speaker 1: seems like they're focused on twenty twenty five. It seems
Speaker 1: like they're like, we got our quarterback. They're working hard
Speaker 1: in the transfer portal. They know where they lacked last
Speaker 1: year coming off the National Championship win, is we didn't
Speaker 1: get guys in that we had to get into replace
Speaker 1: the holes of losing eighteen guys to the NFL Draft.
Speaker 1: So I think the huge focus is really on let's
Speaker 1: get the players in so we can make a big run,
Speaker 1: an actual run at a possible playoff spot, a Big
Speaker 1: Ten championship next year, and kind of get back to
Speaker 1: what we were doing a couple of years ago. So
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't think a lot of
Speaker 1: Michigan fans like it. I'll take Michigan plus eleven though,
Speaker 1: because that's where my heart lies.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't like the uh the Big ten in these
Speaker 3: matchups this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't either.
Speaker 3: I like Bama minus eleven. I think Jalen Milroll he's
Speaker 3: the X factor. Also think Alabama has more depth than
Speaker 3: Michigan does.
Speaker 1: Even know half their depth left, Like the thirteen players going,
Speaker 1: it's just crazy back running back was a stud.
Speaker 6: But if they want to guys, I think there's guys that,
Speaker 6: like you said, backups, I'm going Bama minus.
Speaker 5: I'm taking Bama two. Do I mean, come on, it's probably.
Speaker 1: The right move. It is. It's like, uh, even when
Speaker 1: I talk to Michigan fans are like, cares you guys,
Speaker 1: that was essentially our super Bowl this year. We did it.
Speaker 1: It's like, let's get to next season. See what Sharan
Speaker 1: Moore is all about. Get this Bryce Underwood cat in here,
Speaker 1: get these other Cats from the transfer portal, and try
Speaker 1: to make a real run for real. Imagine if imagine
Speaker 1: if Michigan could turn off, turn back on throwing, that'd
Speaker 1: be crazy cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I got David Warren quarterback in this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, six touchdowns, nine interceptions.
Speaker 3: Let's move on another big ten sec matchup, going into
Speaker 3: tier talk, the Tier one game of the week the
Speaker 3: Cheese at Citrus Bowls, South Carolina's favorite minus nine and
Speaker 3: a half against Illinois. The over runder on that game's
Speaker 3: forty eight. I'll go ahead and start. I think it's
Speaker 3: South Carolina. I think South Carolina this, you know, all
Speaker 3: the teams that will have portal moves and thinking about
Speaker 3: next year and everything else. I don't think that's South Carolina.
Speaker 3: I think that what Beamer has built culture wise there,
Speaker 3: I think they very much want to beat the breaks
Speaker 3: off Illinois and prove even more that they should have
Speaker 3: been in the playoff and stay hot. Like again, they
Speaker 3: have a lot of guys opting into.
Speaker 4: Play right JP Yep. I think South Carolina the I.
Speaker 3: Mean they got the defensive front to just be disruptive
Speaker 3: in the backfield. The Sellers is going to be a
Speaker 3: stud next year. Like, they got a lot of weapons
Speaker 3: that I just don't think Illinois can keep up with.
Speaker 3: So I'm going to game Cox minds.
Speaker 5: Nine and a half taking them too.
Speaker 6: I feel like South Carolina got something to prove again,
Speaker 6: That's why he said those guys playing, they want to
Speaker 6: go out there and on a great note. I think
Speaker 6: South Carolina beats Illinois.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Illinois nine to three this year
Speaker 1: only eight time in program history, a bit of a
Speaker 1: historic season for the fighting line up.
Speaker 4: I mean, Illinois, it's tough.
Speaker 3: I just don't think they have I just don't think
Speaker 3: they have the cats to keep up beside.
Speaker 1: Bred Bilima Breeds a tough, hard news football team. You
Speaker 1: know all about that, Yeah, you know about that. Luke
Speaker 1: Altmeyer great with the RPOs. You get the ball out
Speaker 1: of his hands quick. He's got a little razzle dazzle
Speaker 1: on his footsteps. When he gets a little east and west,
Speaker 1: guy looks kind of good. Maybe they make it interesting.
Speaker 1: Give me, uh, give me South Carolina covering this time.
Speaker 1: I think Sellers is going to dominate. I think I
Speaker 1: think it's really it's it's this is a South Carolina
Speaker 1: the culture.
Speaker 4: That they are breeding over there.
Speaker 1: That's a team that's pissed off about not being the
Speaker 1: playoff as a team that wants to make a statement.
Speaker 1: They're not going to take the soft way out that
Speaker 1: Florida State ended up taking the last last year, Forrest
Speaker 1: had a huge opportunity to really punch Georgia in the
Speaker 1: nose and say, hey, we should have been in there.
Speaker 1: He went undefeated. Who cares if our quarterback got hurt?
Speaker 1: South Carolina their quarterbacks healthy, Their running back Rocket if
Speaker 1: he does play, they're young.
Speaker 6: Defensive line playing he's not playing.
Speaker 8: Rocket and Kyle Kinnard are out.
Speaker 4: But those are the only two.
Speaker 1: You see here my hands that right here that I
Speaker 1: not to go back to this defensive line stunts, They
Speaker 1: fly around the ball. They took Oklahoma, they stuffed them down.
Speaker 1: They put their face on the pillow. They told them,
Speaker 1: what's what I expect them to do? The same with Illinois.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough bowl season for the Big Ten.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, JP, you have anything to add.
Speaker 8: Mainly, I just think it's gonna be the best non
Speaker 8: playoff bowl game because I think Illinois bought into having
Speaker 8: a ten win season. South Carolina's bought into having a
Speaker 8: ten win season, and ultimately I think Will's right, like
Speaker 8: we have more guys than them and our buy in.
Speaker 8: Of course, I'm more in our world. It doesn't really
Speaker 8: seem like Illinois has any fans on the internet because
Speaker 8: I never.
Speaker 5: See them.
Speaker 4: Place to get you can't wake them up.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, I see our guiy Demetrius Knight. He's our linebacker.
Speaker 8: He's like a fifth six year guy, came from Georgia Tech.
Speaker 8: But he's got two kids. And they asked him like,
Speaker 8: why are you opting into the bowl game? Like you're
Speaker 8: probably gonna be a Day two or three draft guy.
Speaker 8: He's like, man, I got kids. I want to I
Speaker 8: don't want them to be able to pull something in
Speaker 8: my life and say like, well you didn't finish what
Speaker 8: you started back to college, so we have to do it.
Speaker 8: He was like, it's not the message I'm sending. I'm
Speaker 8: like that's who I want my team.
Speaker 4: That's a message too.
Speaker 3: Like South Carolina, they seem to be one of the
Speaker 3: teams with all the external noise that goes on with
Speaker 3: the portal and nil and who should be here? Who
Speaker 3: should be there? Like I feel like Beamer's got them
Speaker 3: focused on finishing the mission. And then again, a ten
Speaker 3: one season is something to very much be excited about,
Speaker 3: catapulting you in the next year.
Speaker 5: JP.
Speaker 1: I agree with most of the things you said. I
Speaker 1: think when it comes to the best bowl game, that's
Speaker 1: on the list, but it's not this game. But we'll
Speaker 1: get to it in a second.
Speaker 4: Oh is it is it? The next one? Is it?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 3: Iowa Missouri Missouri favorite by three and the trans Perfect
Speaker 3: Music City Bowl right here in Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: The answer to that is no, it is no. Definitely,
Speaker 1: this game is gonna be brutal to watch. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be You think about Iowa football, You think about Iowa football,
Speaker 1: You think about a strong defense. You think about a strong,
Speaker 1: hard nosed running game, running backs that get downhill right
Speaker 1: with the South mid.
Speaker 3: Zones quarterbacks the ball. They can win with only five
Speaker 3: first downs in a game.
Speaker 1: That's it. Now, Iowa was hey, I was running back
Speaker 1: second in the nation and rushing He's got fifteen and
Speaker 1: thirty seven boy, fifteen hundred and thirty seven yards rushing
Speaker 1: about twenty one tds, only behind Ashton genty stud. Right,
Speaker 1: you feel pretty good about them against Missouri. You would
Speaker 1: if he was playing, but he's not. He's opted out.
Speaker 1: Missouri's got three players that also opted out. Luther Burden,
Speaker 1: he's he's their best wide receiver, he's a stud. Their
Speaker 1: right tackle, he also opted out. And then Brett Norfleet,
Speaker 1: poor guy, he got a little up, a little surgery.
Speaker 1: He won't be able to play in game. They got
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys just running to the portal, right now, Iowa,
Speaker 1: they you know what, shout at Iowa. They've really turned
Speaker 1: around their program. When it comes from an offensive standpoint.
Speaker 1: They're scoring twenty four point nine points a game. But
Speaker 1: that's also beyond the running back that's not playing in
Speaker 1: this game. It's just transports transfort It's it's wild. Missouri's
Speaker 1: got eleven guys in the transfer portal. It's wild. The
Speaker 1: only thing that tells me Missouri in this game. Brady Cook,
Speaker 1: he's playing in the game. He had high expectations going
Speaker 1: into the season. He got hindered with ankle and wrist
Speaker 1: injuries throughout the season. Now when we talk about having
Speaker 1: long breaks, that's the type of guy that needs a
Speaker 1: long break. He gets it, he gets healthy. And I
Speaker 1: suppose Missouri's gonna win this one. That's how I feel.
Speaker 1: That's my confidence, I suppose. But it's really like, you know,
Speaker 1: when you lose your best player at Iowa, who is
Speaker 1: really your team? You run the ball? I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't remember who what his name is. I know I
Speaker 1: wrote it down somewhere. But Iowa's quarterbacks coming back. He oh,
Speaker 1: he got hurt. He had a bad time. He got
Speaker 1: hurt against the UCLA. One fact, he threw for three
Speaker 1: und and forty four yards the entire season, two touchdowns
Speaker 1: and one interception. Nothing to get excited about there. But
Speaker 1: he's back. We're excited about that.
Speaker 6: Missouri, Yeah, yeah, I'm going to miss This's gonna be
Speaker 6: an ugly as all these opt outs, it's gonna be ugly.
Speaker 5: I'm taking Missou to win this game as well.
Speaker 3: Tier three the Alimobile the Valero Alamo Bowl b YU
Speaker 3: versus Colorado. Colorado favored by minus five and a half
Speaker 3: the over unders forty five or forty four, fifty four
Speaker 3: and a half.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the fuck.
Speaker 4: I don't know, bro, I think Colorado.
Speaker 1: This game, this to me is the best bowl game.
Speaker 1: This is the best ball game. Uh I alluded to
Speaker 1: it earlier. Deon Sanders sits in a press commas is
Speaker 1: we don't do opt outs here. It's easy for some
Speaker 1: bullshit ask school to say, hey, we don't do opt outs,
Speaker 1: but this team has a top five quarterback of top
Speaker 1: five pick at quarterback, excuse me, and the Heisman Trophy winner.
Speaker 1: Who is the internet coming? This is a very unique
Speaker 1: inter conference bowl game. Very rarely do you have two
Speaker 1: teams from the same conference playing BYU and Colorado are
Speaker 1: both teams that they believe should have been playing for
Speaker 1: the Big twelve Championship. They both had opportunities to get
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve Championship and they both ship down
Speaker 1: their leg unfortunately, and for that reason, they ended up
Speaker 1: in this bowl game. Both teams. You look at their
Speaker 1: there is a report. Both teams look pretty healthy, not
Speaker 1: a lot of transfer portal guys. Both of them were
Speaker 1: sneaking in that top fifteen, top twenty five category. Both
Speaker 1: teams want to make a statement in the Big Twelve.
Speaker 1: They see what Asu did. They were ranked to be
Speaker 1: bottom of the barrel in the Big Twelve, and they
Speaker 1: found themselves in a bye week going into the Cultural
Speaker 1: Wall playoffs with a chance to win the national championship
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. They got themselves a good bowl game here.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about this one. This is this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a fun one to watch because you get to
Speaker 1: see kind of the history of what's gonna happen. Does
Speaker 1: Deion Sanders stay, does he go? I think Deon's gonna
Speaker 1: stay for a couple of years. But if you're a
Speaker 1: Big Twelve fan, you're gonna enjoy this game. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take Colorado. I think if you gonna have your players
Speaker 1: play play in the game, they're gonna opt in. You're
Speaker 1: gonna opt in, You're gonna have full buying because once,
Speaker 1: once you're being told you're going to play in the game,
Speaker 1: which seems like that's what Dion does as a head coach.
Speaker 1: Your first thought is, fuck, I really don't want to
Speaker 1: play this game. I radigate for the NFL. Then your
Speaker 1: next thought is, I gotta put good tape out here,
Speaker 1: because I am a top five pick. I am a
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner. I need to make sure people see
Speaker 1: me still ball out and this he gets a Big
Speaker 1: Twoll opponent, so I expect them to come out firing.
Speaker 1: Give me Colorado in this one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like Colorado too. I think this may be
Speaker 6: dion last season at Colorado. That's just me talking, you know.
Speaker 6: I do think he's staying after his sons are gone.
Speaker 4: I think he stays.
Speaker 1: I think he stays too. But Cowboys, you think he
Speaker 1: goes to an NFL job at Colorado.
Speaker 6: Now I'm taking Colorado. I don't know if he's gonna stay.
Speaker 6: I just I just think that his opportunity there is
Speaker 6: he did what he wanted to do. Now he can
Speaker 6: move on to bigger and bigger, better things. I mean,
Speaker 6: he is in the Big twelve. Reading this, it says
Speaker 6: that he's still affiliate with the Mountain Mountain Bowl.
Speaker 5: Is that?
Speaker 4: Is that true?
Speaker 6: No, I'm talking about they saying that they're members of
Speaker 6: the PAC twelve, but they still Yeah.
Speaker 7: From the previous year they were in the PAC twelve
Speaker 7: and b YU. The previous year was in the Big twelve,
Speaker 7: and so the contract with the Alamo Bowl was contracted
Speaker 7: through this year of a Pac twelve team playing a
Speaker 7: Big twelve team, And so that's how it worked out
Speaker 7: that Colorado and by you could play with each other.
Speaker 1: So that's why you're finding two Big twelve teams playing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, find the Conference Bowl. I like Colorado. I
Speaker 3: just like a pissed off Travis Hunter. I'm gonna tendant
Speaker 3: that game just to watch fireworks.
Speaker 4: Why would he be pissed off?
Speaker 1: People are shipping on him his girl?
Speaker 4: This is about his This is about his girl.
Speaker 6: It ain't about him being a shitty football player. It's
Speaker 6: about his girl.
Speaker 3: But you know, he's decided to go out there and
Speaker 3: just show out, like just have some random chip on
Speaker 3: his shoulder to go out there for.
Speaker 1: The best ones always do.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean I wouldn't use my girl as you know,
Speaker 6: as a chip if I would have lost the heisman
Speaker 6: or something like that. Maybe, But his girl, being who
Speaker 6: she is, I feel like that plays more part in
Speaker 6: his head because now I feel like people are gonna
Speaker 6: be holding signs up like with his chick twerking on.
Speaker 1: Mormons to go out there saying with nasty signs.
Speaker 4: Mormons.
Speaker 1: Mormons are brutal, Mormons are every Mormon I've ever been
Speaker 1: around the nicest people. All that pent up to stop.
Speaker 4: What kind of Mormon you was around?
Speaker 1: Well, there was one kid. He was like a twenty
Speaker 1: five year old rookie when.
Speaker 4: That was not a thing. It's a normal thing, that's
Speaker 4: the thing.
Speaker 1: There's a couple I knew a couple of people in
Speaker 1: high school that were Mormon, super nice. Great. He actually
Speaker 1: did a fake handshake with one of them one time.
Speaker 1: The Mormons have a thing where like they have temples
Speaker 1: and levels, and the higher level you get that you
Speaker 1: learn a handshake. And I found out about one of
Speaker 1: those handshakes and I did it. That's the only time
Speaker 1: I saw that Mormon mad didn't go well for me.
Speaker 7: I have a question for delaying. Does it change his
Speaker 7: pick at all? Knowing that BYU's quarterback is the only
Speaker 7: Jewish quarterback and college football?
Speaker 1: Wow, he now he going to a Mormon school.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you riding no Jewish brothers.
Speaker 3: You say it's the best game on the slate, It's
Speaker 3: not even the best game of the day. Eleven am
Speaker 3: Kid Straight Bowl Boston College Nebraska Nebraska favorite by three.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that Spring I bet that game the
Speaker 1: minute the odds came out and I sent it to you.
Speaker 1: I said, go big Red. I am fired to put.
Speaker 4: That game you made. I'm hoping.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that game is not competitive. I'm hoping, like
Speaker 1: I don't like Bill O'Brien. I love Nebraska for you
Speaker 1: and the hospitality they give us. I love Matt ruhle I,
Speaker 1: I love Dylan.
Speaker 4: Like those guys.
Speaker 1: That's a good, solid ball club. And for them to
Speaker 1: go and put Bill O'Brien in his place, that's just extra.
Speaker 1: That's a cherry on top for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not.
Speaker 4: A pin strike.
Speaker 1: But we are the top.
Speaker 4: We won't.
Speaker 5: We won't.
Speaker 1: Here he goes again, Here he goes again, we won't.
Speaker 5: All right, this ain't gonna be I ain't gonna have
Speaker 5: no I just what's.
Speaker 4: The all right then?
Speaker 3: But just I don't say if you think Nebraska is
Speaker 3: gonna win, your you're gonna win.
Speaker 4: All right, We'll see what happens. What does that mean?
Speaker 1: It just means when you sit there, I do I
Speaker 1: think the brask gonna win, but I think the Brest win.
Speaker 1: I want the breast wind. I betted Nebraska to win.
Speaker 1: I want it for me, I want it for your
Speaker 1: family's mental health. I wanted for Nebraska in general.
Speaker 4: But where do you go? Oh? We will?
Speaker 1: I just think, all right, kiss of death. I watched
Speaker 1: the Chiefs every single year with the Super Bowl on
Speaker 1: the back of your all rights.
Speaker 4: You're saying, all right, like, okay, does that mean they're
Speaker 4: gonna lose. No, I'm like, don't worry, we'll handle.
