WEBVTT - Playoff Seedings?? 0:00:04.299 --> 0:00:06.699 NFL Game Deview is a production of the NFL in 0:00:06.739 --> 0:00:08.179 partnership with iHeartRadio. 0:00:12.219 --> 0:00:14.899 Happy Holidays, everybody, Welcome to game debut. Patrick clay About 0:00:14.939 --> 0:00:17.059 here with Greg Rosenhalen, Cynthia Freeland here in the Chris 0:00:17.139 --> 0:00:21.299 Wesley Podcast studio. We enjoy football, and what better time 0:00:21.339 --> 0:00:23.179 to spend this time with football because. 0:00:22.939 --> 0:00:26.099 Football is family. Talking about these games with all these 0:00:26.139 --> 0:00:26.539 folks and. 0:00:26.539 --> 0:00:29.339 You guys outside of my family, there's no one I 0:00:29.339 --> 0:00:32.099 would rather be celebrating Christmas and picking games with. 0:00:32.659 --> 0:00:35.419 Agreed, This is a model favorite show on the network. 0:00:35.539 --> 0:00:37.779 This is the best one. I love it so much. 0:00:37.859 --> 0:00:39.579 You guys are the best here and you guys at 0:00:39.579 --> 0:00:40.139 home as well. 0:00:40.339 --> 0:00:43.219 They're ribbing me for my choice of children. 0:00:43.379 --> 0:00:46.899 All had a conversation earlier speaking of all my favorite children. 0:00:46.939 --> 0:00:48.779 Here, let's talk about some picks. 0:00:48.819 --> 0:00:50.939 I was able to go eleven and five last week 0:00:51.019 --> 0:00:53.779 in the Picks, while Greg Rosendal Sydney Freeland both went 0:00:53.859 --> 0:00:57.299 ten and six, maintaining my lead and that reluctant extending 0:00:57.339 --> 0:00:58.619 your lead, Crown, that's. 0:00:58.499 --> 0:00:59.179 A big lead. 0:01:00.059 --> 0:01:02.939 This would be his first championship. This is we're getting 0:01:02.979 --> 0:01:05.499 close here. 0:01:04.579 --> 0:01:07.459 On Yes, I will have to try extra hard to 0:01:07.499 --> 0:01:10.499 figure things out, you know, taking between favorite TV shows 0:01:10.499 --> 0:01:10.979 and children. 0:01:11.019 --> 0:01:12.219 It's always tough to make decision. 0:01:12.219 --> 0:01:15.219 It's always tough to decide which game we should talk 0:01:15.219 --> 0:01:16.099 about first in the show. 0:01:16.139 --> 0:01:17.059 But this week it was easy. 0:01:17.299 --> 0:01:22.619 Chicago fans who officially have our attention, CATU. 0:01:22.539 --> 0:01:25.579 Play faint, look at the throw, going deep searching for 0:01:25.899 --> 0:01:31.819 DJ Moore over the shoulder, catch me touchdowns, hits over 0:01:31.899 --> 0:01:36.619 at Soldier Field, the Iceman, come it, the Iceman take it. 0:01:36.819 --> 0:01:41.179 Top forty six yard spirals to the end zone to 0:01:41.379 --> 0:01:44.339 Dj Moore, twenty two to sixteen. 0:01:44.419 --> 0:01:47.659 Bears a while to come back by the Cardiac Bears 0:01:47.739 --> 0:01:49.899 last week. Now they've got the Niners Sunday night in 0:01:49.979 --> 0:01:53.179 Santa Clair. The number one seed still a possibility for 0:01:53.339 --> 0:01:56.019 both teams. So who gets a little closer in that aspect, Grig. 0:01:56.139 --> 0:01:58.899 I think the San Francisco forty nine ers do, setting 0:01:58.979 --> 0:02:01.739 up the battle with the Seahawks potentially for the one seed, 0:02:01.859 --> 0:02:04.219 and it's because of rock Party. Brock Purty, since he 0:02:04.099 --> 0:02:07.819 came back from injury, has put up production that matches 0:02:07.859 --> 0:02:10.779 any quarterback in the entire NFL. But what I've really 0:02:10.859 --> 0:02:13.979 liked out of him is his decision making. Sometimes He's 0:02:14.019 --> 0:02:16.659 a guy who has a little too much dip on 0:02:16.739 --> 0:02:20.539 his chip. He tries throws that he can't really make, 0:02:20.979 --> 0:02:23.859 that his body can't cash. And yet lately I don't 0:02:23.899 --> 0:02:27.179 think he's been making those decisions. He's just finding open 0:02:27.179 --> 0:02:29.659 receivers because of his play caller, because of the healthy, 0:02:29.699 --> 0:02:32.859 skilled position players around and hopefully George Kittle is close 0:02:32.899 --> 0:02:34.699 to one hundred percent for this game. 0:02:34.819 --> 0:02:35.899 And if you give. 0:02:35.819 --> 0:02:39.819 Rock Purdy good pass protection, he is going to dice 0:02:39.859 --> 0:02:42.659 you up. This is a mature offense with Trent Williams 0:02:42.699 --> 0:02:44.899 playing his best ball, and I think against a Bears 0:02:44.939 --> 0:02:47.499 team that does not rush the passer, well, I think 0:02:47.539 --> 0:02:49.499 they win. And I think Kyle Shanahan gets a little 0:02:49.539 --> 0:02:52.659 closer to Coach of the Year who Well, extra take 0:02:52.699 --> 0:02:53.139 there for you. 0:02:53.459 --> 0:02:54.539 I like that extra take. 0:02:54.579 --> 0:02:56.699 You have six points, I think is your differential. I 0:02:56.739 --> 0:02:59.019 have a four point win for the forty nine. 0:02:58.939 --> 0:03:00.619 Ers in this one. Let's just talk about. 0:03:00.499 --> 0:03:02.699 Christian McCaffrey, and let's just talk about the fact that 0:03:02.739 --> 0:03:06.419 not enough people are at least speaking into existence for him. 0:03:06.299 --> 0:03:07.099 To be the MVP. 0:03:07.259 --> 0:03:09.659 What's the guy gotta do? What's he got to do? 0:03:09.779 --> 0:03:12.019 He has the most touches in the league batch like 0:03:12.219 --> 0:03:15.659 more than thirty. He's doing on the ground through the year. 0:03:15.779 --> 0:03:18.299 It doesn't matter. Why is brock Purty and his chip 0:03:18.379 --> 0:03:21.099 dipping ways get to succeed the way they do because 0:03:21.099 --> 0:03:23.579 you've got Christian McCaffrey to back clean up for you 0:03:23.699 --> 0:03:26.019 or do whatever you need to make it happen. 0:03:26.379 --> 0:03:28.379 Defenses all season long. 0:03:28.259 --> 0:03:31.219 Have been well aware that Christian McCaffrey is going to 0:03:31.259 --> 0:03:33.259 be the focal point of the offense, and look at 0:03:33.259 --> 0:03:35.499 his results, you can't stop him. So I'm looking at 0:03:35.539 --> 0:03:39.259 Christian McCaffrey and I'm saying, whoever's voting for these things, 0:03:39.459 --> 0:03:42.019 don't settle for Comeback Player of the Year, don't even 0:03:42.019 --> 0:03:43.139 settle for offensive player. 0:03:43.339 --> 0:03:45.979 He should be the MVP. They wouldn't be in this 0:03:46.499 --> 0:03:49.179 but for CMC. They wouldn't be in this position. 0:03:49.299 --> 0:03:52.379 Yes, like many times, the best receiver on the field 0:03:52.379 --> 0:03:55.379 for either team a big part of the game. I'm 0:03:55.419 --> 0:03:58.459 still taking the Bears, then, Yeah, I'm taking the Bears. 0:03:58.259 --> 0:03:59.699 Twenty three to twenty one. 0:03:59.739 --> 0:04:02.979 It's very difficult to project turnovers, but these Bears make 0:04:03.019 --> 0:04:04.819 them and take the ball away at the highest rate 0:04:04.859 --> 0:04:07.459 in the NFL. Jalen Johnson giving up a passer rating 0:04:07.499 --> 0:04:09.539 of sixty five. So teams are like, okay, let's throw 0:04:09.539 --> 0:04:11.739 over here at this who is this Nashan? 0:04:11.939 --> 0:04:14.259 Right, he's wearing number twenty six. They need to stop 0:04:14.299 --> 0:04:14.619 doing that. 0:04:15.059 --> 0:04:15.699 Right, it's wrong. 0:04:15.859 --> 0:04:17.139 Yes, right is the wrong option. 0:04:17.419 --> 0:04:20.459 He leads to the league in interceptions brought takes risks, 0:04:20.979 --> 0:04:24.219 the team invites those risks to be taken. I think they, 0:04:24.379 --> 0:04:26.579 of course are going to give up some yards, as 0:04:26.619 --> 0:04:29.419 the Bears do, but they get a couple of balls 0:04:29.419 --> 0:04:32.299 that they shouldn't perhaps, and they lean on DeAndre Swift 0:04:32.339 --> 0:04:35.339 and that explosive run game and get a win and 0:04:35.379 --> 0:04:38.819 oddly enough an inside track at the number one overall seed. 0:04:39.379 --> 0:04:41.459 Those Chicago Bears. The Bears and Niners could be an 0:04:41.499 --> 0:04:43.499 instant classic on Sunday night. The Bears have played a 0:04:43.539 --> 0:04:46.139 couple over the last few weeks. We also got some 0:04:46.179 --> 0:04:48.259 Saturday games this week, including. 0:04:47.899 --> 0:04:50.579 A mega matchup in the AFC. 0:04:50.819 --> 0:04:54.179 This Saturday, the playoff Pitcher coming into focus on NFL Network. 0:04:54.259 --> 0:04:54.459 CJ. 0:04:54.579 --> 0:04:57.379 Stroud and the Houston Texans take on Justin Herbert and 0:04:57.419 --> 0:04:59.859 the Chargers. Rich and Kurt will be on the call 0:05:00.019 --> 0:05:01.059 with kickoff at four. 0:05:01.019 --> 0:05:01.899 Thirty pm Eastern. 0:05:01.939 --> 0:05:05.019 Game day kickoffs starts at two pm this Saturday only 0:05:05.499 --> 0:05:09.539 on NFL Network. So let's discuss this game a touch 0:05:09.579 --> 0:05:12.299 more in the AFC between the Texans and the Chargers. 0:05:12.299 --> 0:05:15.379 Both squads have clinch spots in the playoffs. Houston has 0:05:15.419 --> 0:05:18.259 won seven straight. Do they go into Sofar and make 0:05:18.299 --> 0:05:19.099 it eight in a row? 0:05:19.099 --> 0:05:21.779 Sin they go into Sofi. It's very dramatic. 0:05:21.819 --> 0:05:25.059 It's Saturday, people are very full, and they're done opening 0:05:25.059 --> 0:05:28.579 presence the whole day, and they take over the game. 0:05:28.419 --> 0:05:30.699 Twenty one to twenty. A low scoring matchup. 0:05:30.739 --> 0:05:33.979 Both defenses very formidable in this one, but I think 0:05:34.019 --> 0:05:36.739 it comes down to the duo of Will Anderson Junior 0:05:36.739 --> 0:05:40.419 and Daniel Hunter. Why because, as the broken record Cynthia 0:05:40.459 --> 0:05:43.899 Frieland says and everyone else, did you know Justin Herbert 0:05:43.899 --> 0:05:46.779 has taken the most pressures and quarterback hits of any 0:05:46.859 --> 0:05:47.899 quarterback this season? 0:05:48.339 --> 0:05:50.859 Oh yeah, we get it. When he's under pressure, he 0:05:50.899 --> 0:05:51.819 throws interceptions. 0:05:51.859 --> 0:05:54.299 Oh yeah, okay, But ultimately this is a different kind 0:05:54.299 --> 0:05:54.699 of pressure. 0:05:54.699 --> 0:05:57.139 It's coming from multiple directions. They don't need to bliss. 0:05:57.259 --> 0:05:59.659 They can use their great secondary to back up what 0:05:59.779 --> 0:06:00.619 happens upfront. 0:06:00.659 --> 0:06:03.779 So I'm looking at this, oh this defensive front and that. 0:06:03.899 --> 0:06:07.499 Oh, and I'm thinking advantage Houston in this matchup. 0:06:07.779 --> 0:06:08.419 I agree. 0:06:08.459 --> 0:06:12.539 I have a Texans win three points twenty two to nineteen. 0:06:12.619 --> 0:06:15.379 Because there's teams that have great pass rushers, there's teams 0:06:15.379 --> 0:06:17.979 that have great players in the secondary, but there's no 0:06:18.099 --> 0:06:21.579 team that melds both of them together quite. 0:06:21.339 --> 0:06:22.259 Like the Houston Texans. 0:06:22.299 --> 0:06:25.459 I will take Damiko Ryans over Greg Roman in this 0:06:25.539 --> 0:06:28.539 matchup every single day, and three times this Saturday night 0:06:28.619 --> 0:06:31.619 on the NFL Network. Herbert has thrown nine picks against 0:06:31.779 --> 0:06:35.539 zone this season between Stingley and Lasseter and the way 0:06:35.619 --> 0:06:38.579 that these guys rush the pass. Because the pressure numbers 0:06:38.899 --> 0:06:41.619 show one thing with the Houston Texans, but pressures, especially 0:06:41.659 --> 0:06:44.299 on next ten stats are kind of a proximity alert alert. 0:06:44.499 --> 0:06:46.819 But when it's Danil Hunter and lill Anderson Junior moving 0:06:46.819 --> 0:06:49.459 at the speed they do, their proximity. 0:06:48.939 --> 0:06:50.939 A little different than everybody else's. Greg. 0:06:51.019 --> 0:06:52.779 I thought this was the toughest game to pick of 0:06:52.819 --> 0:06:55.459 the year, especially because a year in the platt Or 0:06:55.539 --> 0:06:57.459 of the Week at the very time. Okay, I love 0:06:57.539 --> 0:06:59.819 these two teams. I think they can each go to 0:06:59.859 --> 0:07:02.139 the super Bowl. But you think about that playoff matchup 0:07:02.139 --> 0:07:04.659 a year ago, and you think about how Justin Hurtert 0:07:04.699 --> 0:07:07.819 was embarrassed and now he's ready for revenge. The Chargers 0:07:07.899 --> 0:07:10.779 win a close, low scoring game twenty to seventeen. We're 0:07:10.819 --> 0:07:14.979 gonna just greg it up. On Saturday, NFL Network, Herbert 0:07:15.059 --> 0:07:18.419 put him in the MVP voting conversation. He's at least 0:07:18.459 --> 0:07:21.219 in my top five, maybe in my top three. And 0:07:21.299 --> 0:07:23.739 what was the takeaway from that playoff game a year ago? 0:07:23.819 --> 0:07:24.619 Said, Oh, all we. 0:07:24.659 --> 0:07:26.459 Got to do We just got to fix this protection 0:07:26.819 --> 0:07:27.739 and then we'll be fine. 0:07:27.819 --> 0:07:29.819 Everything's caving in on the inside. That's the one thing 0:07:29.819 --> 0:07:31.739 we're gonna do. Hey, they didn't fix any of it. 0:07:31.779 --> 0:07:32.979 They're worse this year. 0:07:33.379 --> 0:07:35.939 And you know who's rising above it all. As much 0:07:35.939 --> 0:07:38.899 as I love CJ. Stroud, Justin Herbert is at a 0:07:39.019 --> 0:07:42.059 similar level in terms of his talent, but. 0:07:42.059 --> 0:07:44.499 He's further along in his maturity, his experience. 0:07:44.579 --> 0:07:48.619 He is playing outstanding, he's overcoming his teammate, and he 0:07:48.699 --> 0:07:50.739 has a great defense backing him up this year. That's 0:07:50.739 --> 0:07:52.419 one difference to Chargers get the victory. 0:07:52.659 --> 0:07:55.539 Are the Texans and Chargers jockeying for better playoff seating. 0:07:55.579 --> 0:07:57.699 Another team in the mix, the Buffalo Bills, and you 0:07:57.739 --> 0:08:00.339 know Josh Allen always ready to cape up. 0:08:04.539 --> 0:08:07.259 Has to put on the cape every single week. That's 0:08:07.299 --> 0:08:08.779 a lot to put on his shoulders. 0:08:08.939 --> 0:08:11.099 Just play the game, don't go into it and feel 0:08:11.139 --> 0:08:14.219 like you've got to be Superman, Superman. 0:08:13.819 --> 0:08:17.219 Superhuman for his powerful throw on the cape and see 0:08:17.219 --> 0:08:21.179 that the work puts out Buffalo Alan looking for. 0:08:21.259 --> 0:08:24.419 The end z Oe in how is he not your 0:08:24.619 --> 0:08:28.139 MVP in the coat Shamas he can send I. 0:08:28.259 --> 0:08:30.379 Mentioned true, he's an alien, isn't he? 0:08:30.619 --> 0:08:35.259 Josh Allen is Superman. Nobody contests jumped on his. 0:08:35.379 --> 0:08:36.539 Back like he was Superman. 0:08:37.139 --> 0:08:38.939 No good snow Glory, double. 0:08:38.779 --> 0:08:42.579 Break, Josh Allen does it again. 0:08:42.179 --> 0:08:46.139 Superman, Superhuman, most powerful, powerful. 0:08:46.419 --> 0:08:49.659 Josh Allen Superman mean some dangerous things for his hometown 0:08:49.739 --> 0:08:52.939 of Fireball, California. Everybody's safe there but his bills play 0:08:52.979 --> 0:08:56.059 host of the Eagles on Sunday, the matchup Cynthia's preseason 0:08:56.339 --> 0:08:59.059 Super Bowl prediction. Wow, it could still happen. 0:08:59.579 --> 0:09:01.699 So what happens on Sunday look at a lot better 0:09:01.779 --> 0:09:03.139 than my preseason prediction. 0:09:03.379 --> 0:09:04.099 Ravens Lion. 0:09:04.459 --> 0:09:07.539 I think the Eagles win this game because they've started 0:09:07.579 --> 0:09:09.699 to look over the last couple of weeks like they 0:09:09.819 --> 0:09:12.979 did late last season because of Saquon Barkley. I just 0:09:13.219 --> 0:09:16.259 love what I saw in that game against the Commanders, 0:09:16.499 --> 0:09:20.699 especially him breaking tackles, him closing the game out with 0:09:20.859 --> 0:09:22.939 some explosive runs. 0:09:23.099 --> 0:09:26.019 It was the Saquon we got used to scene for 0:09:26.139 --> 0:09:26.499 a while. 0:09:26.699 --> 0:09:29.099 If you were looking at the next gen stats after 0:09:29.219 --> 0:09:32.739 these games, it's a lot of rush yards under expected, 0:09:32.939 --> 0:09:36.819 like a lot of negative last week, way over expected. 0:09:37.139 --> 0:09:39.459 I think the line is going to be better because 0:09:39.539 --> 0:09:42.539 Lane Johnson expected to return this week. 0:09:42.659 --> 0:09:44.619 But maybe it's something about this time of year. 0:09:44.659 --> 0:09:47.139 It's when Jalen Hurts plays his best, and it's starting 0:09:47.219 --> 0:09:49.979 to look like it's when Saquon Barkley plays his best 0:09:50.139 --> 0:09:51.539 like he did late last season. 0:09:51.739 --> 0:09:53.539 I am right there with you, Greg, I've got a 0:09:53.619 --> 0:09:56.459 big win by the Eagles thirty one to twenty six. 0:09:56.579 --> 0:10:00.899 Because even in scenarios where Superman was facing great odds. 0:10:00.779 --> 0:10:02.259 There was a need for a Justice League. 0:10:02.419 --> 0:10:06.019 You needed the Green Lantern Batman, everybody to be involved. 0:10:06.579 --> 0:10:09.739 You look around on the Buffalo Bills, there's not always 0:10:09.739 --> 0:10:12.219 anywhere to be found, and he was limited in practice 0:10:12.259 --> 0:10:14.819 this week, got X rays at halftime, and then the 0:10:14.859 --> 0:10:16.539 Bill's defense has to go out there and contend with 0:10:16.659 --> 0:10:19.619 not just say Kwan Barkley, but AJ Brown, who's been 0:10:19.699 --> 0:10:22.419 targeted at a very high rate when the opposing team 0:10:22.579 --> 0:10:26.139 lines up in single high coverage thirty percent for Jalen 0:10:26.179 --> 0:10:29.059 Hurts looking in AJ Brown's direction. He's had over four 0:10:29.139 --> 0:10:33.059 hundred yards and two touchdowns against zone coverage since Week nine. 0:10:33.139 --> 0:10:35.139 Things have picked up late this season. I think he 0:10:35.179 --> 0:10:37.699 gives the Bills secondary problems again in this one. 0:10:38.379 --> 0:10:41.619 Well, I guess Bills fans please come help me out 0:10:41.699 --> 0:10:44.099 because I'm gonna pick you guys to win. So sorry, 0:10:44.139 --> 0:10:47.459 Eagles fans, I'm going prime number here a three point 0:10:47.539 --> 0:10:50.739 win for Buffalo at home. So I understand it's very 0:10:50.819 --> 0:10:53.059 unlikely that the Bills could get the one seed, but 0:10:53.539 --> 0:10:55.499 that could mean that they're playing with a nice level 0:10:55.579 --> 0:10:58.859 of ease and fun and looking at their tight ends. 0:10:59.219 --> 0:11:01.379 This is where the past catching needs to step up. 0:11:01.659 --> 0:11:04.459 With Josh Allen's foot being maybe not one hundred percent, 0:11:04.899 --> 0:11:07.059 maybe they're rushing won't be as reliable. 0:11:07.179 --> 0:11:08.259 What does Joe Brady do? 0:11:08.539 --> 0:11:10.979 He goes into the little you know area of like, hey, 0:11:11.139 --> 0:11:14.419 I'd like Josh Allen to do this with his Superman stats. 0:11:14.699 --> 0:11:16.939 Let's just throw two our tight ends. Dalton Kinka last 0:11:16.979 --> 0:11:19.179 week Fantasy Owners is not so great for them. He 0:11:19.299 --> 0:11:22.619 had exactly zero catches on one target. But we've seen 0:11:22.699 --> 0:11:25.819 some really fun, dynamic things from all. 0:11:25.739 --> 0:11:26.499 Of their tight ends. 0:11:26.579 --> 0:11:29.899 Dawson Knox, Jackson Hawes like really fun names too to say, 0:11:29.979 --> 0:11:33.139 But ultimately it's that level of the defense that they're 0:11:33.179 --> 0:11:35.779 going to try to target. I'm not suggesting that it's 0:11:35.859 --> 0:11:37.939 good to pass against the Eagles evens. I'm just saying 0:11:38.139 --> 0:11:40.739 that Josh Allen is a kind of one of those 0:11:40.819 --> 0:11:42.779 matchup proof people, and the tight ends will be. 0:11:42.779 --> 0:11:45.019 The way that he goes up against them. 0:11:45.099 --> 0:11:48.299 All right, Well, Sam for Ru's even Good presented by Applebee's. 0:11:48.339 --> 0:11:50.419 Is Josh Allen limited to just one hundred and thirty 0:11:50.499 --> 0:11:53.419 passing yards last week against the Cleveland Browns? Does he 0:11:53.499 --> 0:11:57.179 throw for over or under one ninety five against the Eagles. 0:11:57.619 --> 0:12:00.539 We're going over baby. With that hurt foot, there's less 0:12:00.579 --> 0:12:02.979 reliance on the run. I'm not suggesting he's not going 0:12:03.019 --> 0:12:04.179 to run, but I don't think it's going to be 0:12:04.659 --> 0:12:08.139 as no fewer designed rushes per se. But I'm also 0:12:08.219 --> 0:12:11.459 looking at trying to target different areas, different levels of 0:12:11.499 --> 0:12:14.539 the defense to get quick completions, so it might not 0:12:14.739 --> 0:12:16.539 be like some crazy dpass. 0:12:16.819 --> 0:12:18.979 I think it's going to be a series of shorter 0:12:19.139 --> 0:12:20.819 passes to keep his foot. 0:12:20.899 --> 0:12:23.979 Okay, two man rush coming here for this. 0:12:24.019 --> 0:12:25.619 Shut his golf guns towards the end. 0:12:25.659 --> 0:12:28.339 Zion caught tackled short of the end, Zil. 0:12:28.459 --> 0:12:31.979 There is a flag as I'm on ross seat praps, 0:12:32.139 --> 0:12:34.299 Oh did they called the whistle? There was a nateral 0:12:35.259 --> 0:12:38.819 ruling on the field. Is a touchdown? However halfway three 0:12:39.419 --> 0:12:45.379 hunder fourteen on the offense. By rule that penalty is 0:12:46.099 --> 0:12:49.299 not enforced and there is no replay. The game is over. 0:12:50.339 --> 0:12:51.419 There is no touchdown. 0:12:52.419 --> 0:12:54.779 Very clear explanation as we get to seize the season 0:12:54.859 --> 0:12:57.219 presented by a Caesar or sportsbook. As we look at 0:12:57.219 --> 0:13:00.259 the first touchdown score odds between those Detroit Lions and 0:13:00.259 --> 0:13:02.619 the Minnesota Vikings, Jumier Gibbs, I'm on the ros Saint Brown, 0:13:02.699 --> 0:13:05.859 David Montgomery leading the way, also with some belief in 0:13:05.899 --> 0:13:08.019 Aaron Jones. And then it's back to the Lions again 0:13:08.099 --> 0:13:12.339 with Jamis and Williams at plus nine hundred, Detroit almost 0:13:12.539 --> 0:13:15.339 eking out that when last week, pending a couple of 0:13:15.419 --> 0:13:18.259 offensive pass interference calls. Now they need to win out 0:13:18.299 --> 0:13:20.459 and have the Packers lose out for a shot at 0:13:20.459 --> 0:13:23.019 the playoffs. They've got the Vikings and Max Brozmer On 0:13:23.179 --> 0:13:26.219 Christmas Day, Cynthia, does your team keep hope alive here? 0:13:27.219 --> 0:13:27.459 Yeah? 0:13:28.179 --> 0:13:29.619 I mean is hope is hopeful? 0:13:29.619 --> 0:13:29.699 Lot? 0:13:29.739 --> 0:13:32.899 Anyways, I have them winning twenty seven to twenty seven 0:13:32.979 --> 0:13:33.459 point win. 0:13:34.019 --> 0:13:36.779 Do I love it? Yes? Yes I do. 0:13:37.019 --> 0:13:39.099 I don't care. It's still Christmas. I love the Lions. 0:13:39.139 --> 0:13:40.019 It's totally fine. 0:13:40.299 --> 0:13:44.899 I'm looking at this situation and you know, look, Jared Goff, 0:13:45.539 --> 0:13:47.419 we haven't given him enough. He didn't make the Pro Bowl. 0:13:47.579 --> 0:13:50.579 That seems ridiculous, not a ridiculous at all. Who you 0:13:50.739 --> 0:13:52.779 taking off? You back? 0:13:53.259 --> 0:13:53.299 No? 0:13:53.939 --> 0:13:55.539 But I don't know, at least I don't know. I 0:13:55.579 --> 0:13:56.379 feel like it was a slight. 0:13:56.499 --> 0:13:59.139 The man's been playing very well, considering everyone on the 0:13:59.219 --> 0:14:02.299 defense has been I don't know, watching from the sidelines 0:14:02.379 --> 0:14:03.379 or their hospital. 0:14:03.099 --> 0:14:03.779 Rooms, unfortunate. 0:14:03.779 --> 0:14:05.299 It's been play great. I do want to put that 0:14:05.379 --> 0:14:05.819 on the record. 0:14:05.899 --> 0:14:07.699 Yes, he has to pay, but I will I will 0:14:07.739 --> 0:14:09.979 say in this one he's gonna look better against the Blitz. 0:14:10.059 --> 0:14:12.819 Last week against the Pittsburgh Blitz, we saw something weird. 0:14:12.859 --> 0:14:14.459 He was like four for twelve or like thirty three 0:14:14.539 --> 0:14:17.259 yards something crazy. That is not normal for him. This 0:14:17.379 --> 0:14:19.499 is a guy who usually top two, top three in 0:14:19.539 --> 0:14:21.819 the league against the Blitz in almost every single metric. 0:14:21.979 --> 0:14:24.139 They're used to the Minnesota Blitz. 0:14:24.179 --> 0:14:26.379 So I think it looks very good, and yes, I 0:14:26.419 --> 0:14:29.059 still love my lines, even though the only thing worse. 0:14:29.099 --> 0:14:30.779 I'm going to tell you, the only thing worse than 0:14:30.939 --> 0:14:33.779 watching that play was the fact that my neighbors whatever 0:14:33.939 --> 0:14:35.819 they're watching on is ten seconds. 0:14:35.539 --> 0:14:35.979 Ahead of me. 0:14:36.499 --> 0:14:38.339 Oh, you can imagine party foul. 0:14:39.259 --> 0:14:42.499 I I what it was awful. So somebody get me 0:14:42.539 --> 0:14:43.539 better Internet for Christmas. 0:14:43.619 --> 0:14:46.299 You're mad Jared Goff didn't make the Pro Bowl. Yeah, 0:14:46.339 --> 0:14:47.819 want Sam Darnold off or something. 0:14:48.299 --> 0:14:48.499 I don't. 0:14:48.739 --> 0:14:50.299 I just want him on. I'm not trying to take 0:14:50.339 --> 0:14:50.739 someone off. 0:14:51.099 --> 0:14:52.939 That's how it works when people you know, you got 0:14:53.059 --> 0:14:55.339 to take someone off to put someone on. You're just 0:14:55.499 --> 0:14:58.459 lucky that Max Brozmer hasn't been starting all year, or 0:14:58.539 --> 0:15:00.579 he might have gotten one of those Pro Bowls spots. 0:15:00.819 --> 0:15:04.699 It's gonna be a holiday miracle. Max Brosberg covers on 0:15:04.859 --> 0:15:05.499 the Big Day. 0:15:05.499 --> 0:15:09.979 Look at that seventeen to Justin Jefferson, not a lot 0:15:10.019 --> 0:15:10.979 of other big highlights. 0:15:11.059 --> 0:15:13.219 Last week screens really. 0:15:13.139 --> 0:15:13.579 Doled it up. 0:15:13.699 --> 0:15:16.859 We should just be replaying the third and seventeen opposite 0:15:16.939 --> 0:15:20.539 hash to JJ. Look, Justin Jefferson made about four or 0:15:20.539 --> 0:15:23.339 five plays in that game that only Justin Jefferson can make. 0:15:23.419 --> 0:15:26.059 I think Max Brozemer can run the offense, and most 0:15:26.139 --> 0:15:28.419 importantly here, and I know I'm talking about Broemer even 0:15:28.419 --> 0:15:28.619 though I. 0:15:28.619 --> 0:15:31.659 Have the Lions winning. Uh, he's playing a defense which 0:15:31.699 --> 0:15:33.259 is that been at the very bottom of the league. 0:15:33.299 --> 0:15:35.379 It's a lot of talk about Dan Campbell in the 0:15:35.419 --> 0:15:37.659 running game and Jared Goff when the defense has been 0:15:37.739 --> 0:15:38.939 really their problem lately. 0:15:39.059 --> 0:15:40.499 If your a Lions fan has a problem with Dan 0:15:40.579 --> 0:15:43.739 Campbell or anyone in the offense, see me, see me 0:15:43.779 --> 0:15:44.259 in my office. 0:15:44.339 --> 0:15:46.579 Oh no, oh, something's ready to fight. I am. 0:15:46.899 --> 0:15:49.979 I'm liquid rolling off and becaps. 0:15:50.219 --> 0:15:54.179 Especially after Greg gives the false choice that's imposed on everybody, Well, 0:15:54.259 --> 0:15:56.299 we can't we can't give this person what he deserves, 0:15:56.299 --> 0:15:57.099 because then we can't. 0:15:56.899 --> 0:16:00.019 Get there's literally a leader on the promo. 0:16:00.139 --> 0:16:02.779 It's a choice to facilitate that particular circumstance. 0:16:03.179 --> 0:16:05.059 I hate when people are like, oh, you got to 0:16:05.099 --> 0:16:06.899 put him on the probo without saying who you're gonna 0:16:06.899 --> 0:16:07.139 take off? 0:16:07.179 --> 0:16:08.539 There's only three spots we are. 0:16:08.539 --> 0:16:11.419 Critique is of something else. We're we're critiquing something else. 0:16:11.459 --> 0:16:14.819 My model also indicates the Lions win here because Aiden 0:16:14.899 --> 0:16:17.579 Hutchinson and this Lion's titt. Unfortunately, they couldn't close it 0:16:17.619 --> 0:16:20.419 out against the Steelers. But Aiden Hutchinson in the fourth 0:16:20.539 --> 0:16:24.619 quarter has more pressures than anybody else in the NFL 0:16:24.979 --> 0:16:28.699 thirty nine pressures in the fourth quarter, seven more than 0:16:28.779 --> 0:16:30.939 any other player. The lines are getting it up and 0:16:31.099 --> 0:16:35.019 unfortunately for twenty twenty five NFL League MVP Max Brozmer, 0:16:35.099 --> 0:16:38.699 according to NFL Networks Greg Rosenthal in, Hutchinson. 0:16:38.459 --> 0:16:40.579 Is gonna make that diff Hope they gets picked up. 0:16:40.579 --> 0:16:41.859 It's got to cover season. 0:16:41.859 --> 0:16:43.899 This season is brought to you by a Caesar Sportsbook. 0:16:43.979 --> 0:16:46.339 New users can get their first bet matched by up 0:16:46.339 --> 0:16:48.779 to two hundred and fifty dollars win or lose.

Let's make 0:17:20.619 --> 0:17:23.539 some quick picks for the two other Christmas Day games. 0:17:23.979 --> 0:17:27.099 We will start with the Cowboys and Commanders. Dallas was 0:17:27.139 --> 0:17:30.419 officially eliminated from playoff contention last week. But they're playing 0:17:30.819 --> 0:17:34.019 for pride, Greg, It's Christmas and this is America's team. 0:17:34.059 --> 0:17:34.419 What happened? 0:17:34.419 --> 0:17:36.219 They're also playing for numbers. You know who made the 0:17:36.259 --> 0:17:39.299 Pro Bowl. George Pickens. What a season, what a story. 0:17:39.579 --> 0:17:41.299 They put up thirty one points and I think they 0:17:41.499 --> 0:17:44.459 entertain the masses with an offensive shootout. 0:17:44.499 --> 0:17:46.179 I love Pickens's. 0:17:45.779 --> 0:17:48.139 Catches he had last week where there was a late 0:17:48.939 --> 0:17:51.659 back shoulder. Look at his late speed here where he 0:17:51.819 --> 0:17:54.619 separates right as the ball gets there and makes it 0:17:54.699 --> 0:17:57.219 look like it was an easy throw. All along, every 0:17:57.339 --> 0:18:00.539 target to George Pickens is entertaining. You never know what's 0:18:00.619 --> 0:18:03.419 going to happen. And between him and Ceedee Lamb, I 0:18:03.499 --> 0:18:05.499 just think you see a lot of points against a 0:18:05.779 --> 0:18:07.379 vulnerable Commanders defense. 0:18:07.579 --> 0:18:09.499 Christmas Night, the Broncos and the Chiefs. 0:18:09.539 --> 0:18:12.339 Denver had their eleven game wins streaks snapped last week 0:18:12.339 --> 0:18:13.699 against Trevor Lawrence and the Jags. 0:18:13.819 --> 0:18:16.339 Do they bounce back some field, Yes, they bounced back, 0:18:16.379 --> 0:18:18.979 and they bounced back big. They still want a shot 0:18:19.099 --> 0:18:21.139 at that number one seed, so that the Super Bowl 0:18:21.179 --> 0:18:24.139 would have to go through Denver. So bo Nicks, what 0:18:24.299 --> 0:18:26.699 we've seen from him is improve it now. The first 0:18:26.899 --> 0:18:28.699 two the first beginning of the end is the first 0:18:28.739 --> 0:18:31.819 two go passes looked incredible last week. Then things got 0:18:31.899 --> 0:18:34.059 a little bit left. Now we need to see them 0:18:34.099 --> 0:18:36.099 get back in rhythm because if this team wants to 0:18:36.219 --> 0:18:39.019 have those Super Bowl aspirations that Sean Payton talked about 0:18:39.019 --> 0:18:40.819 ahead of the season, then they're going to need to 0:18:40.939 --> 0:18:42.379 keep him in rhythm. And I think this is a 0:18:42.419 --> 0:18:45.299 good opportunity against the Chiefs team that's you know, this 0:18:45.379 --> 0:18:47.099 is not the Chiefs team we're usually used to. 0:18:47.139 --> 0:18:49.259 Talking about, but they still have They also have pride, 0:18:49.899 --> 0:18:51.979 you know. Pride is that's the thing. So I'm looking 0:18:52.019 --> 0:18:53.579 at them and even though it's not the same game 0:18:53.579 --> 0:18:54.659 we were thought, it's still be one. 0:18:54.859 --> 0:18:56.979 How do they get to eight points? Patcher? 0:18:57.299 --> 0:18:59.339 Well, I think I think they're going to go for two. 0:18:59.379 --> 0:19:01.419 They get a touchdown, they go for two. It's late. 0:19:01.699 --> 0:19:04.139 Andy Reid has a lot of pride about it. 0:19:04.299 --> 0:19:07.139 Travis Kelsey octopus in his last game. 0:19:07.579 --> 0:19:11.979 Yes ahead, statum, Wow, congratulations. Not a great career. 0:19:12.739 --> 0:19:14.379 I know not that pill sare, but it could be. 0:19:14.579 --> 0:19:18.739 Probably It's Ravens Packers Saturday night in Lambeau. Baltimore needs 0:19:18.779 --> 0:19:20.699 to win out for a shot at the playoffs. Green 0:19:20.739 --> 0:19:22.859 Bay trying to hold on to that seventh seed in 0:19:22.899 --> 0:19:25.619 the NFC. Both team star quarterbacks questionable? 0:19:25.859 --> 0:19:29.499 How's this one go? Considering what we do know right now, Cynthia. 0:19:29.339 --> 0:19:32.379 We know that at least Jordan Loves been practicing, same 0:19:32.419 --> 0:19:35.139 with Josh Jegob. So that helps me feel better about 0:19:35.139 --> 0:19:37.379 my model picking Green Bay to win twenty four to 0:19:37.659 --> 0:19:38.779 twenty in this matchup. 0:19:38.859 --> 0:19:40.979 But one thing I kind of know is what. 0:19:41.139 --> 0:19:44.459 This defense looks like now though Micah Parss isn't there, right, 0:19:44.539 --> 0:19:46.619 we saw a change that we have to figure some 0:19:46.739 --> 0:19:49.459 things out. Of course, the Bears mount of this massive 0:19:49.539 --> 0:19:52.139 comeback last week, what did we see? Well, I think 0:19:52.179 --> 0:19:54.179 that they got I mean they're seeing that's a pretty 0:19:54.219 --> 0:19:57.179 good guy who's they missed. But ultimately Jeff Hafley will 0:19:57.219 --> 0:19:59.979 have some answers. Be they simulated pressures, which is something 0:20:00.019 --> 0:20:01.619 we saw a lot of last season. But I do 0:20:01.779 --> 0:20:04.459 think that one game adjustment or two game adjustment that 0:20:04.699 --> 0:20:08.219 needed to happen. So that now going forward against the Ravens, 0:20:08.259 --> 0:20:10.179 and we know Derek Henry is going to run for 0:20:10.539 --> 0:20:13.019 hopefully be on the field for more of it if 0:20:13.019 --> 0:20:15.259 you're a Ravens fan. But ultimately I think that the 0:20:15.339 --> 0:20:16.899 defense will get right in this situation. 0:20:17.699 --> 0:20:21.379 The ideal matchup in terms of the quarterbacks would obviously 0:20:21.459 --> 0:20:24.779 be Jordan Love versus Lamar Jackson. Yes, but you can 0:20:24.899 --> 0:20:27.139 shake up any matchup in terms of the quarterbacks that 0:20:27.219 --> 0:20:29.019 you want. And I am still picking the Packers in 0:20:29.139 --> 0:20:30.899 this game. I have it twenty seven to twenty three, 0:20:31.179 --> 0:20:33.659 but it ends up being Tyler Huntley starting. You know, 0:20:33.739 --> 0:20:36.579 I make it over seven and whatever the number is. 0:20:36.899 --> 0:20:39.179 It's partly because the Packers are just a more balanced 0:20:39.179 --> 0:20:42.619 team overall. I trust their defense, even without Michael Parsons, 0:20:42.659 --> 0:20:45.059 to make it difficult, and I trust this guy Emmanuel 0:20:45.059 --> 0:20:48.619 Wilson to contribute in the running game. Josh Jacobs is practicing. 0:20:48.699 --> 0:20:50.579 It's probably gonna be a one to two punch, but 0:20:50.779 --> 0:20:54.779 he is a really good downhill tough runner. Ultimately, I 0:20:54.819 --> 0:20:58.179 think the Packers are a Super Bowl contending type of team, 0:20:58.219 --> 0:21:00.779 whereas the Ravens have the look of a team that 0:21:01.099 --> 0:21:03.499 they're just not going to get it done this season. 0:21:03.619 --> 0:21:05.899 And sometimes at the end of a season like that, 0:21:06.099 --> 0:21:08.379 it goes sideways in a big way when you're playing 0:21:08.459 --> 0:21:11.139 another competitive team. So I like the Packers no matter 0:21:11.219 --> 0:21:12.539 what happens at quarterback. 0:21:12.659 --> 0:21:15.019 Yeah, I have also taken the Green Bay Packers here. 0:21:15.179 --> 0:21:17.699 The twenty four to nineteen For me, the Ravens up 0:21:17.739 --> 0:21:20.619 the four flowest pressure rate in the entire league going 0:21:20.659 --> 0:21:21.499 into Week seventeen. 0:21:21.659 --> 0:21:23.539 Considering that everything. 0:21:23.259 --> 0:21:25.139 This defense has been able to do as good as 0:21:25.139 --> 0:21:27.859 the numbers have looked, they had that streak of keeping 0:21:27.899 --> 0:21:30.779 teams under twenty points, it was a huge anomaly to 0:21:30.859 --> 0:21:33.499 accomplish the things that they have been able to accomplish. 0:21:33.579 --> 0:21:35.939 That Drake may kind of exposed that lack of a 0:21:36.019 --> 0:21:39.379 pass rush last week. If it is Jordan Love, you know, 0:21:39.619 --> 0:21:41.899 more power to the Green Bay Packers in their passing game. 0:21:42.339 --> 0:21:44.939 And I think if we were to expect again having 0:21:44.979 --> 0:21:48.219 this conversation before we know anything if Lamar was going 0:21:48.259 --> 0:21:50.419 to be able to play in this game, and he 0:21:50.739 --> 0:21:55.099 probably would have come back in against the New England Patriots. 0:21:55.259 --> 0:21:59.779 So perhaps a season an offseason of new beginnings for 0:21:59.859 --> 0:22:01.939 the Baltimore Ravens. We go from the Ravens to the 0:22:02.019 --> 0:22:04.699 team they're chasing in the AFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:22:04.779 --> 0:22:07.859 Pittsburgh went into Detroit last week and made magic. 0:22:07.619 --> 0:22:13.019 Happen for Rodgers back and he's gonna throw right and 0:22:13.219 --> 0:22:13.979 deep again. 0:22:14.139 --> 0:22:15.859 A lot of contact downfield. 0:22:16.059 --> 0:22:17.299 Did Gagwell catch that? 0:22:17.579 --> 0:22:21.779 He did? Holy mackerel. He was laying down on the ground. 0:22:21.939 --> 0:22:25.419 Soup Pine caught it, picked it up, ran it into 0:22:25.459 --> 0:22:26.059 the end zone. 0:22:26.139 --> 0:22:29.419 It oh, I think the cat caught it. 0:22:29.619 --> 0:22:32.259 It hit his right elbow, bounced up into his body. 0:22:32.619 --> 0:22:35.099 He's spun up. This is incredible. 0:22:36.299 --> 0:22:38.219 The Steelers held on to be the Lions twenty nine 0:22:38.259 --> 0:22:40.299 to twenty four last week. They're in the driver's seat 0:22:40.339 --> 0:22:42.219 in the AFC North. They've got a big one with 0:22:42.299 --> 0:22:44.339 the Browns on Sunday, but they will not have dk 0:22:44.459 --> 0:22:47.019 Metcalf due to his two game suspension that was upheld 0:22:47.579 --> 0:22:48.419 in the middle of the week. 0:22:48.499 --> 0:22:50.099 So what happens in this clash, Greg. 0:22:49.979 --> 0:22:51.859 I think DK's absence hurts them. 0:22:51.939 --> 0:22:53.739 It's a man to man defense for the Browns, but 0:22:53.859 --> 0:22:56.379 ultimately it's the Steelers defense that keeps the score low. 0:22:56.419 --> 0:22:59.779 It's twenty three to thirteen for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 0:22:59.859 --> 0:23:02.579 this game because Aaron Rodgers is playing his best ball 0:23:03.219 --> 0:23:03.899 of the year. 0:23:04.219 --> 0:23:08.819 A pairaphrase a very famous tweet back in the day. 0:23:08.899 --> 0:23:11.259 I unfortunately, I think you do have to hand it 0:23:11.299 --> 0:23:15.059 to him, you know, yeah, drill getting it done. I'm 0:23:15.099 --> 0:23:17.539 not putting Aaron Rodgers at the same you know, level 0:23:17.699 --> 0:23:19.899 of a public enemy as what was referred to in 0:23:19.979 --> 0:23:20.379 that tweet. 0:23:20.419 --> 0:23:24.219 But look at these long passes. It's been a different offense. 0:23:24.259 --> 0:23:27.179 Everyone's been killing him for his average depth of target 0:23:27.459 --> 0:23:29.579 all season and how quickly he's getting rid of the ball. 0:23:29.619 --> 0:23:31.019 If you look at the numbers over. 0:23:30.939 --> 0:23:34.379 The last three weeks, they're back way up in terms 0:23:34.419 --> 0:23:35.459 of where he's throwing the ball. 0:23:35.499 --> 0:23:36.899 They're hitting some third and tens. 0:23:36.899 --> 0:23:39.379 They've been more aggressive, he's been more willing to hold 0:23:39.419 --> 0:23:41.299 the ball, and I think that's really important as they 0:23:41.579 --> 0:23:42.339 go down the stretch. 0:23:42.419 --> 0:23:45.939 Run how many times this year has my score been 0:23:46.099 --> 0:23:49.579 lower than yours for any anyway. So I have twelve 0:23:49.619 --> 0:23:52.899 points for Cleveland, I have twenty for Pittsburgh. A very 0:23:53.019 --> 0:23:55.899 low scoring game is what I project. Looking at Jalen 0:23:55.939 --> 0:23:58.539 Warren his ability to catch, especially. 0:23:58.339 --> 0:24:00.659 Shorter passes you talked about, You've seen the numbers for 0:24:00.739 --> 0:24:03.379 Aaron Rodgers. I also believe that they're sitting there being like, 0:24:03.459 --> 0:24:04.339 do you really want the. 0:24:04.379 --> 0:24:06.619 Miles Garrett highlight of breaking the sack record to be 0:24:06.739 --> 0:24:07.699 on you Aaron Rodgers? 0:24:08.139 --> 0:24:09.979 Just like the Bills said it last week, I think 0:24:10.059 --> 0:24:11.779 Aaron Rodgers is kind of thinking the same thing, like, 0:24:11.819 --> 0:24:13.739 please don't have me be the guy in the low light. 0:24:13.899 --> 0:24:15.219 I don't want to be on the other the wrong 0:24:15.299 --> 0:24:17.259 side of the highlight. He's likes to be on the 0:24:17.339 --> 0:24:20.059 right side of highlight. Did you not see his postgame interviews. Yeah, 0:24:20.259 --> 0:24:23.259 he likes to let you know. But ultimately I'm looking 0:24:23.339 --> 0:24:25.979 at Jalen warrensville in the ability to be so multiple. 0:24:26.059 --> 0:24:28.739 Both of these running backs really run game pass game. 0:24:29.059 --> 0:24:31.859 That's gonna be a difference maker, especially in time of possession. 0:24:31.939 --> 0:24:34.939 Now that poor quinch On Judkins, best wishes for him 0:24:35.099 --> 0:24:36.499 a speedy recovery for next season. 0:24:36.579 --> 0:24:37.459 He was so fun to watch. 0:24:37.579 --> 0:24:39.659 It's gonna make it all the sweeter though, when Miles 0:24:39.739 --> 0:24:42.579 Garrett just like rips around their fourth string left tackle 0:24:42.859 --> 0:24:45.459 and sacks Aaron Rodgers without him even knowing it's coming. 0:24:45.499 --> 0:24:47.339 Because that's how good Miles Garrett is. It's gonna be 0:24:47.339 --> 0:24:47.699 a big one. 0:24:47.779 --> 0:24:49.899 Well, well, Aaron Rodgers, I had a pretty good game 0:24:49.939 --> 0:24:50.739 here ten years ago. 0:24:51.339 --> 0:24:54.939 Yes, because if there's anything that Aaron Rodgers likes, it's 0:24:54.939 --> 0:24:57.739 a titch An opportunity to talk about all things Aaron Rodgers, 0:24:57.779 --> 0:25:00.339 and I think to Greg's point, Aaron Rodgers been playing 0:25:00.379 --> 0:25:02.299 good football because the rest of the team around him 0:25:02.339 --> 0:25:04.659 has been barely going, especially in the second I've got 0:25:04.699 --> 0:25:07.619 the Steelers by seven. Going back, let's go to the 0:25:07.699 --> 0:25:09.459 last couple of weeks in the second half day to 0:25:09.539 --> 0:25:12.179 run a ball, great go back four weeks. The Steelers 0:25:12.219 --> 0:25:15.339 are averaging six point two yards per carry in the 0:25:15.459 --> 0:25:17.619 second half of these games, and Kenny G is not 0:25:17.859 --> 0:25:20.419 just doing it well shout out to Kenny G's Holiday album, 0:25:20.499 --> 0:25:23.059 but this is another Kenny G during the holiday season 0:25:23.219 --> 0:25:25.539 is going off right now in the run and the 0:25:25.579 --> 0:25:26.059 pass game. 0:25:26.139 --> 0:25:26.699 Yes, you know. 0:25:27.099 --> 0:25:30.459 Unfortunately for Alexandeloni and Lions fancy he made that play, 0:25:30.739 --> 0:25:32.779 but all around he's been one of the more consistent 0:25:32.899 --> 0:25:36.619 parts of this offense. Yes, like the luxury is DK Metcalf, 0:25:36.699 --> 0:25:40.499 but the meat and potatoes is Jalen Warren and Kenny. 0:25:40.619 --> 0:25:46.619 G Here comes their best two point play, Darnald throws 0:25:46.779 --> 0:25:50.099 cod but the two points Eric sober. 0:25:50.939 --> 0:25:52.059 What a game. 0:25:52.659 --> 0:25:55.379 What a group, man, What a freaking football team you 0:25:55.419 --> 0:26:02.459 guys are. What a football team, man, That's what we do, man. 0:26:03.459 --> 0:26:11.859 We see also with that remarkable comeback winning overtime against 0:26:11.899 --> 0:26:13.179 the Rams last week at home. 0:26:13.259 --> 0:26:15.419 Now they're going across the country to take. 0:26:15.299 --> 0:26:18.899 On Carolina in the NFC South, where the Panthers have 0:26:18.979 --> 0:26:21.259 the lead in the division. Now, Bryce Young's team has 0:26:21.299 --> 0:26:24.859 slayed some giants recently to get out the big accent 0:26:24.979 --> 0:26:26.019 chop down the Seahawks. 0:26:26.059 --> 0:26:26.859 They do not. 0:26:27.459 --> 0:26:30.099 Cinderella Slipper can be put back on next week against 0:26:30.099 --> 0:26:31.419 the Bucks and they still win the division. 0:26:31.619 --> 0:26:33.179 But the Seahawks are in a different class. 0:26:33.219 --> 0:26:36.139 It's because of their head coach, Mike McDonald's I mentioned 0:26:36.219 --> 0:26:39.019 Kyle Shanahan as a potential coach of the Year. I 0:26:39.139 --> 0:26:43.299 think Week eighteen, Seahawks forty nine ers will not only 0:26:43.379 --> 0:26:46.419 decide the one seed and the NFC West, but it 0:26:46.459 --> 0:26:48.579 will decide coach of the Year, and my pick right 0:26:48.699 --> 0:26:50.699 now would be the guy who took a team that 0:26:50.939 --> 0:26:53.339 most people did not have in the playoffs, who's built 0:26:53.419 --> 0:26:55.619 up his defense of the number one defense in the 0:26:55.739 --> 0:26:58.859 league over the last two seasons, who's made great hires. 0:26:58.899 --> 0:27:00.979 They have the best special teams in the league too, 0:27:01.219 --> 0:27:03.259 and I think will be the type of team down 0:27:03.339 --> 0:27:05.899 the stretch against a team like the Panthers who just 0:27:06.019 --> 0:27:09.499 aren't as talented, who outclasses them. They see the finish line, 0:27:09.499 --> 0:27:11.899 they'll know how important this game is. And as great 0:27:11.979 --> 0:27:14.659 as the Panthers have been, they are limited defensively. I 0:27:14.699 --> 0:27:16.459 think the Seahawks put up a lot of points and 0:27:16.539 --> 0:27:17.699 win this game comfortably. 0:27:18.259 --> 0:27:20.739 I'm with you on all of that, especially so sometimes 0:27:20.739 --> 0:27:22.659 I look at Mike McDonald and I realize he's only 0:27:22.699 --> 0:27:24.899 thirty eight, but he like already looks like a wise 0:27:24.939 --> 0:27:27.819 old man that you would want to be following. Anyways, 0:27:28.339 --> 0:27:30.419 my score, I don't remember your margin. I have an 0:27:30.459 --> 0:27:33.579 eight point margin. Twenty six to eighteen is mitt years 0:27:33.659 --> 0:27:36.299 is a little bit bigger, But ultimately I'm looking at 0:27:36.339 --> 0:27:38.459 the run game here. I think as much as we 0:27:38.579 --> 0:27:40.859 talk about Sam Donald throwing, which he is great at, 0:27:40.979 --> 0:27:43.059 especially when you have Jackson Smith and Jig. But what 0:27:43.179 --> 0:27:45.859 they've really done is a foundation of running the football 0:27:45.899 --> 0:27:48.659 with Kenneth Walker, who has had a year where he's 0:27:48.699 --> 0:27:52.099 really You talk about people looking to get paid Kenneth 0:27:52.139 --> 0:27:54.859 Walker anyone. Yeah, that's going to be a nice contract 0:27:54.939 --> 0:27:57.619 for him going forward. So I'm looking at slowing the 0:27:57.659 --> 0:27:59.499 game down and kind of hitting the Panthers where it 0:27:59.579 --> 0:28:01.059 hurts the most, which is in the run game. 0:28:01.259 --> 0:28:03.619 And I think Kenneth Walker provides the foundation yet again 0:28:03.779 --> 0:28:06.339 so that there's no turnovers, there's no weird stuff, and 0:28:06.499 --> 0:28:08.139 I get it going because there's a big one. You 0:28:08.219 --> 0:28:09.939 talked about the big one for the Panthers next week. 0:28:09.979 --> 0:28:12.499 There is a huge one for the Seahawks next week 0:28:12.499 --> 0:28:13.139 against the Niners. 0:28:13.259 --> 0:28:14.939 You didn't know this, but there might be a little 0:28:14.979 --> 0:28:17.899 more Kenneth Walker later in the show. Oh that's a tease. 0:28:18.019 --> 0:28:20.099 That's a deep tease, and in fact deep teas. 0:28:20.179 --> 0:28:23.179 The rare potential double trap game for both teams is 0:28:23.219 --> 0:28:27.339 maybe the effort questionable for everybody. I nothing fun here 0:28:27.459 --> 0:28:30.219 going on. It's unanimous. I've got the Seahawks as well. 0:28:30.339 --> 0:28:32.339 Twenty four to nineteen. I would like to look at 0:28:32.579 --> 0:28:34.619 a great matchup that we're going to see in the 0:28:34.739 --> 0:28:37.699 secondary in this game where JC Horn has a chance 0:28:37.779 --> 0:28:40.139 to go up against Jackson Smith and Jigma in all 0:28:40.179 --> 0:28:42.299 of the things he's accomplished through the air for the 0:28:42.339 --> 0:28:46.539 Seattle Seahawks. Notice one thing about these JC Horn highlights. 0:28:47.179 --> 0:28:50.019 None of them were from this game, this most recent 0:28:50.139 --> 0:28:53.499 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Why they threw at 0:28:53.579 --> 0:28:57.739 him zero times? He covered Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. 0:28:58.219 --> 0:28:59.419 Zero targets for j C. 0:28:59.579 --> 0:28:59.819 Horn. 0:28:59.899 --> 0:29:02.539 Wow, seems like a smart strategy. Yeah, don't throw in 0:29:02.579 --> 0:29:03.139 his coverage. 0:29:03.259 --> 0:29:05.739 We'll see if Sam makes that decision coming up. Looking 0:29:05.779 --> 0:29:07.179 forward to this game, it's time for the feel good 0:29:07.219 --> 0:29:09.699 story of the Week, presented by Geico Cynthia. Which team's 0:29:09.779 --> 0:29:12.459 quarterback more likely to throw two touchdowns in this game? 0:29:12.739 --> 0:29:14.059 Is it Sam or Bryce O? 0:29:14.139 --> 0:29:15.659 We have big scores for both of them, so I 0:29:15.699 --> 0:29:18.379 think both easily could. But I'm looking at Sam Darnold 0:29:18.579 --> 0:29:21.179 four two. You saw when the highlights, like you see 0:29:21.539 --> 0:29:24.419 AJ Barner the barn Dog, you see him being lifted up. 0:29:24.419 --> 0:29:25.779 So of course, Jackson Smith. 0:29:25.579 --> 0:29:28.219 And Jigba has a really good opportunity to make it today. 0:29:28.499 --> 0:29:30.579 I want to talk about the barn dog here because for. 0:29:30.699 --> 0:29:34.179 Me, aj Barner could be How about the barnyard dog. Nope, 0:29:34.339 --> 0:29:34.899 just barn dog. 0:29:34.979 --> 0:29:36.659 I think it probably is the barnyard dog, but we're 0:29:36.739 --> 0:29:38.499 changing it here because I messed it up and we're 0:29:38.539 --> 0:29:39.139 just gonna go with that. 0:29:39.379 --> 0:29:40.739 The barnyard dog, I don't care. 0:29:40.899 --> 0:29:41.459 I like him. 0:29:41.939 --> 0:29:43.579 I think he gets in the enzoary dog. 0:29:44.379 --> 0:29:47.259 I'm seeing barnstormer, but barn dog works. 0:29:47.539 --> 0:29:49.339 I like barn we and dogs. 0:29:49.539 --> 0:29:52.619 Barn dogs, se dog shout out to any dogs that 0:29:52.699 --> 0:29:56.019 are in any barns within earshot of our voices. Right now, 0:29:56.219 --> 0:29:58.819 let's look at the highest totals in week seventeen according 0:29:58.819 --> 0:30:00.499 to our friends at Caesar Sportsbook. 0:30:00.699 --> 0:30:03.419 Congratulations on the Cincinnati Bengals. Once again, there you are 0:30:04.419 --> 0:30:04.979 three points. 0:30:06.259 --> 0:30:09.099 Second highest score Bears Niners looking forward to these games. 0:30:09.179 --> 0:30:11.819 Let's make some quick picks here on game Dabu Rams 0:30:11.899 --> 0:30:14.019 Falcons expecting to be high scoring as well. 0:30:14.059 --> 0:30:15.739 They score off Monday night in Atlanta. 0:30:15.819 --> 0:30:18.659 S Sean mcvay's team looking to bounce back from last week. 0:30:18.779 --> 0:30:21.139 Do they do it in the atl They absolutely do 0:30:21.259 --> 0:30:23.299 and usually with the Rams, it's like, let's try to 0:30:23.339 --> 0:30:25.779 pick something surprising and new. How about we just talk 0:30:25.819 --> 0:30:28.339 about Matthew Stafford. I haven't done that enough this season. 0:30:28.459 --> 0:30:32.419 Coming off a ridiculous performance against the Seattle Seahawks. 0:30:32.659 --> 0:30:36.059 It is truly stupid that people think QB. 0:30:35.979 --> 0:30:39.979 Wins should hurt him in the MVP conversation after that performance. 0:30:40.019 --> 0:30:43.099 I mean he had some moments that shot against against 0:30:43.099 --> 0:30:45.339 Tapuka Nakua, he had the one in overtime and then 0:30:45.419 --> 0:30:48.139 this no look at the start of the fourth quarter. 0:30:48.339 --> 0:30:51.579 Obviously the game went sideways, but he knows what Raheem 0:30:51.619 --> 0:30:53.059 Morris's defense is. 0:30:53.059 --> 0:30:55.139 What kind of want to do. It's gonna blitz a lot. 0:30:55.259 --> 0:30:58.459 You can't really outsmart Matthew Stafford and blitz them. I 0:30:58.499 --> 0:31:01.419 think he'll find some major problems in the top and secondary. 0:31:01.699 --> 0:31:03.699 Let's go elsewhere in that division of the Tampa Bay 0:31:03.699 --> 0:31:06.739 Buccaneers and the Dolphins. Tampa's lost six of the last seven. 0:31:07.019 --> 0:31:09.819 There must win mode. Do they get that need that 0:31:09.939 --> 0:31:10.779 they must get? 0:31:11.779 --> 0:31:12.179 They do? 0:31:12.499 --> 0:31:14.779 Twenty six to twenty one is the win for Tampa. 0:31:14.819 --> 0:31:16.859 I just want to talk Mike Evans for a minute, 0:31:16.899 --> 0:31:19.579 because when you're thinking about the things that were different 0:31:19.699 --> 0:31:22.619 and what's gotten better and his return has made a 0:31:22.739 --> 0:31:23.459 huge difference. 0:31:23.499 --> 0:31:25.539 I mean, he's caught a touchdown last week. 0:31:25.619 --> 0:31:27.499 I know it wasn't in a win, but you're just 0:31:27.579 --> 0:31:29.659 looking at the opportunity on the field to pass and 0:31:29.699 --> 0:31:32.739 what Baker Mayfield's contending with, and it just is so 0:31:32.899 --> 0:31:34.659 much better when you have Mike Evans. 0:31:34.739 --> 0:31:37.859 Plus thing's a little messy maybe in Miami, so I 0:31:37.899 --> 0:31:40.099 think they take advantage of this and kind of figure 0:31:40.099 --> 0:31:41.539 out a way to get Mike Evans going. 0:31:41.579 --> 0:31:43.339 I got a bad feeling about this. I might have 0:31:43.459 --> 0:31:46.579 to flip my pick all right in Miami. Wine, I 0:31:46.739 --> 0:31:49.299 just got a bad sor bad feelings. 0:31:49.299 --> 0:31:52.259 Stay tuned to all your social channels. The Cardinals and 0:31:52.299 --> 0:31:55.459 the Bengals in the Natty. Joe Burrow carved up the 0:31:55.579 --> 0:31:58.139 Fins last week. I think they win again here with 0:31:58.299 --> 0:32:01.539 they score of thirty two to twenty eight, and you. 0:32:01.579 --> 0:32:03.619 Know, a high score game as is projected. 0:32:03.659 --> 0:32:06.579 But let's talk about this Arizona Cardinals defense. It has 0:32:06.619 --> 0:32:10.299 been a rough go down the stretch weeks thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, 0:32:10.339 --> 0:32:13.779 and sixteen, the opponent has got seven yards per carry. 0:32:13.779 --> 0:32:16.779 They've run for six hundred and three yards six touchdowns. 0:32:17.379 --> 0:32:19.819 Pass defense hasn't been great either. I think the Bengals 0:32:19.859 --> 0:32:21.539 put a huge number still to come. 0:32:22.019 --> 0:32:24.819 Trevor Lawrence and the Jags the hottest team in the league, 0:32:24.899 --> 0:32:25.619 so hot right now. 0:32:25.859 --> 0:32:28.299 They won sixth straight and a win against the Colts 0:32:28.339 --> 0:32:30.059 Sunday would clinch the AFC South. 0:32:30.339 --> 0:32:33.499 But old man Rivers might have something to say about that. 0:32:33.659 --> 0:32:37.619 Who wins Jagged Colts are thoughts coming up next on 0:32:37.699 --> 0:32:38.539 game debut. 0:32:48.899 --> 0:32:52.219 Dropping looking close another back from the CTN talking about me, 0:32:52.299 --> 0:32:53.019 mass out to the five. 0:32:53.179 --> 0:32:57.539 God put it all that touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, a ten 0:32:57.619 --> 0:33:01.299 yard touchdown past the tame as ets to Jadge that 0:33:01.379 --> 0:33:01.979 extended the. 0:33:02.019 --> 0:33:03.339 Lad holse good is that. 0:33:05.219 --> 0:33:07.899 It's time for the Reid presented by Microsoft co Pilot. 0:33:07.979 --> 0:33:10.899 Microsoft Copilot, your AI companion for NFL Game Day and 0:33:11.059 --> 0:33:11.459 every day. 0:33:11.499 --> 0:33:13.139 The red hot Jags going to Indy. 0:33:13.259 --> 0:33:16.459 We ask Copilot which matchup will decide who wins the game? 0:33:16.819 --> 0:33:19.859 And Copoland says Jacksonville's passing attack versus. 0:33:19.739 --> 0:33:21.339 The Colts banged up secondary. 0:33:21.619 --> 0:33:23.899 Indy's d has been shred in the past few weeks, 0:33:23.899 --> 0:33:26.299 and Trevor Lawrence is on one of the best stretches 0:33:26.659 --> 0:33:30.779 of his entire career. All us humans to discuss this 0:33:30.899 --> 0:33:34.419 matchup between those Jags and the Colts. The Jacksonville putting 0:33:34.459 --> 0:33:37.019 the league on notice going into Denver getting. 0:33:36.779 --> 0:33:37.339 A huge win. 0:33:37.619 --> 0:33:41.219 The Philip Rivers experiment has been going fairly well in Indy. 0:33:41.739 --> 0:33:42.979 What do you think takes place in here? 0:33:43.099 --> 0:33:45.499 I think a close game, but I think that the 0:33:45.619 --> 0:33:48.499 Jags win this one twenty six to twenty four. When 0:33:48.499 --> 0:33:51.859 I'm looking at Trevor Lawrence, me and Microsoft Copilot agree 0:33:52.179 --> 0:33:55.379 that the opportunity to find areas of the defense to 0:33:55.539 --> 0:33:58.139 exploit is what's going to matter. But I'm not so 0:33:58.259 --> 0:34:00.099 much weird because we could get saft guard in your back. 0:34:00.099 --> 0:34:02.059 I'm not really looking at the pass and looking at 0:34:02.059 --> 0:34:03.059 the circumstance right now. 0:34:03.139 --> 0:34:04.019 There are other pieces. 0:34:04.779 --> 0:34:06.939 But I think that Jakobe Myers and I think that 0:34:07.019 --> 0:34:09.379 Breton Strange, Yes you heard me, bretton Strange. I think 0:34:09.419 --> 0:34:12.459 that all of the different pass catchers they have now 0:34:12.619 --> 0:34:15.819 gotten into sync with Trevor Lawrence. So even in harder 0:34:15.939 --> 0:34:19.579 to navigate situations like the Broncos defense, they've been connecting 0:34:19.939 --> 0:34:23.179 on what i'd call like tougher level of effort passes. 0:34:23.259 --> 0:34:25.179 Right you know how gymnastics score like, you know, like 0:34:25.619 --> 0:34:27.859 the routine can be harder. They're now doing the more 0:34:27.899 --> 0:34:30.619 difficult routines. So I'm looking at this and even though 0:34:30.859 --> 0:34:33.059 I think it'd be great to see Sauce Gardner back, 0:34:33.219 --> 0:34:35.939 especially if you're a Colts fan, I still think advantage 0:34:35.979 --> 0:34:37.659 to what Trevor Lawrence has got going on in this 0:34:37.699 --> 0:34:38.099 pass game. 0:34:38.179 --> 0:34:41.099 You know who's been hitting some high degree of difficulty throws, 0:34:41.619 --> 0:34:42.619 Philip Rivers. 0:34:42.539 --> 0:34:44.139 Because you don't know how tough it is. 0:34:44.219 --> 0:34:46.699 He doesn't have the arm strength, he doesn't necessarily have 0:34:46.779 --> 0:34:51.979 the athleticism. He's doing all with canny timing and rhythmic 0:34:52.019 --> 0:34:56.699 line games and smart and accuracy and a funky throwing 0:34:56.779 --> 0:34:59.779 motion that's looked the same since he was nineteen years 0:34:59.819 --> 0:35:00.979 old playing. 0:35:00.739 --> 0:35:03.419 At NC State getting it done. I have a high 0:35:03.459 --> 0:35:04.019 scoring game. 0:35:04.419 --> 0:35:06.299 If you made the list of reasons why the Colts 0:35:06.299 --> 0:35:08.779 did not win on Monday night, Philip Rivers was not 0:35:08.939 --> 0:35:10.739 even on it as far as I'm concerned. They were 0:35:10.779 --> 0:35:13.539 averaging four and a half points per possession deep into 0:35:13.579 --> 0:35:14.739 the fourth quarter, and. 0:35:14.859 --> 0:35:16.099 Then it caved in a little bit. 0:35:16.419 --> 0:35:18.619 I think I see a similar type of game here 0:35:18.659 --> 0:35:21.979 where the Colts defense just can't match up against a 0:35:22.699 --> 0:35:25.379 Jaguars team that I believe Patrick Clavon told me was 0:35:25.419 --> 0:35:26.099 averaging how. 0:35:26.019 --> 0:35:28.619 Many points since the buy was it? Was it thirty three? 0:35:28.899 --> 0:35:29.099 Yeah? 0:35:29.619 --> 0:35:33.099 How many points did I give him today? That's Larry 0:35:33.099 --> 0:35:33.699 Bird's number. 0:35:33.739 --> 0:35:37.139 That's sacred, yes, or maybe you read the research packet. 0:35:38.179 --> 0:35:41.419 Either way, Gregan is always in the materials. I am 0:35:41.579 --> 0:35:44.219 right there with Cynthia and Gregg. I've got a Jacksonville 0:35:44.379 --> 0:35:46.379 Jaguars win. But I do want to say, if you're 0:35:46.699 --> 0:35:48.699 able to come back and play football at forty four 0:35:48.819 --> 0:35:51.979 years old, you're a significant athlete, as Philip Rivers has 0:35:52.059 --> 0:35:52.539 always been. 0:35:52.579 --> 0:35:54.739 But let's discuss Monteric Brown. 0:35:54.899 --> 0:35:58.419 I don't know what hit you, guys confused with Buster Brown, 0:35:59.019 --> 0:36:02.219 the comic character that debuted in nineteen oh two in 0:36:02.499 --> 0:36:03.339 the New York Post. 0:36:03.579 --> 0:36:04.899 But this is on Tariff Brown. 0:36:05.259 --> 0:36:08.259 He occasionally goes by Buster and he got targeted twice 0:36:08.379 --> 0:36:11.819 by Bill Knicks last week allowed zero catches. Of course, 0:36:12.259 --> 0:36:15.339 best wishes to Pat Bryant, who Brown had a huge 0:36:15.379 --> 0:36:18.179 hit on late in that game. But he just made 0:36:18.219 --> 0:36:20.939 it so difficult for those Broncos to make plays through 0:36:20.939 --> 0:36:22.379 the are. And I just wanted to point out another 0:36:22.459 --> 0:36:25.299 good player in that Jags secondary as the Jags pretty 0:36:25.299 --> 0:36:25.899 good looking team. 0:36:25.939 --> 0:36:27.939 In the AFC, Lawrence and Rivers is able to. 0:36:27.979 --> 0:36:30.579 Both be top five picks in the NFL draft at 0:36:30.619 --> 0:36:33.059 one point. Let's take a look at the projected draft 0:36:33.219 --> 0:36:36.619 order in twenty twenty six. As we've got the Giants, Raiders, 0:36:36.859 --> 0:36:39.859 and Browns right there at the top, the Jets and 0:36:40.019 --> 0:36:42.099 the Titans. Three wins for the teams at the bottom, 0:36:42.179 --> 0:36:44.579 two for the teams at the top or the bottom, 0:36:44.939 --> 0:36:49.579 depending on your perspective. The Giants and Raiders facing off 0:36:50.059 --> 0:36:53.299 Sunday in a game that has some big implications regarding 0:36:53.339 --> 0:36:54.859 the number one overall pick in the draft. 0:36:55.139 --> 0:36:59.019 So who wins here and misses out? Because we still 0:36:59.059 --> 0:37:00.539 do this draft thing by. 0:37:00.379 --> 0:37:02.939 I know you're not a fan of how they ordered 0:37:02.939 --> 0:37:04.579 the draft. I think he got something to maybe we. 0:37:04.579 --> 0:37:06.579 Get a lottery going at some point, and maybe if 0:37:06.619 --> 0:37:09.539 that happened, the Giants wouldn't have landed Abdull Carter, who's 0:37:09.619 --> 0:37:11.139 playing well the last few weeks. 0:37:11.459 --> 0:37:12.899 He's taking it serious. 0:37:13.259 --> 0:37:17.379 And they asked Exter Lawrence after the game, like, as 0:37:17.459 --> 0:37:20.219 it shown that he's taken some lessons from it, and 0:37:20.259 --> 0:37:21.779 he's like he's got to do it more than one week. 0:37:21.819 --> 0:37:24.699 I was like, whoa deck dex Yes, easy on the kid. 0:37:24.819 --> 0:37:26.339 He's making a lot of plays. He's got to help 0:37:26.379 --> 0:37:27.019 your team out. 0:37:27.619 --> 0:37:31.019 You're giving me a ess Greg against the Las Vegas Raiders. 0:37:31.059 --> 0:37:34.299 I don't care who's playing them. I'm just Gregan all day, 0:37:34.539 --> 0:37:36.699 sight unseen. I don't care if they're playing a high 0:37:36.699 --> 0:37:37.219 schools team. 0:37:37.259 --> 0:37:38.499 I'm taking them against the Raiders. 0:37:38.539 --> 0:37:41.659 Okay, we watched the Giants last week. The Saints and 0:37:41.699 --> 0:37:42.179 the Titans. 0:37:42.219 --> 0:37:44.779 Tennessee currently projected to have the fifth pick in the draft, 0:37:44.899 --> 0:37:47.459 but they've looked a little bit better lately. Who wins 0:37:47.499 --> 0:37:50.259 this match up between two of the better rookies at 0:37:50.299 --> 0:37:51.179 the quarterback position? 0:37:51.259 --> 0:37:55.459 Siddy, have we now from one win over the Titans, 0:37:55.859 --> 0:37:59.059 we're now going over the Chiefs. Now you're going to rownagize? No, 0:37:59.299 --> 0:38:02.779 it's still the freaking Saints. Tyler Duck, he is sick 0:38:03.099 --> 0:38:05.299 of hearing about how him worth so much better than him. 0:38:05.339 --> 0:38:07.979 All he's been doing is been deep passing his way 0:38:08.059 --> 0:38:11.019 to wins. With Chris Olave. He's done a good job 0:38:11.339 --> 0:38:14.579 of navigating a really bad circumstance without being like, hey, guys, 0:38:14.739 --> 0:38:18.099 me over here. Everyone said they should have taken other people. No, 0:38:18.299 --> 0:38:20.899 Tyler Schuck's looking great, and I think you guys are insane. 0:38:21.219 --> 0:38:22.899 Yeah, I mean we knew that going yet. 0:38:22.979 --> 0:38:25.299 I mean, this one's I should have known Patrick. 0:38:25.419 --> 0:38:27.779 This was a very Patrick move. He's still riding high 0:38:28.139 --> 0:38:29.659 after taking him again to the Chiefs though. 0:38:29.739 --> 0:38:31.099 Yeah, you're yeah. 0:38:30.899 --> 0:38:31.459 That's a good one. 0:38:31.979 --> 0:38:34.259 Well, yeah, things are going great over here in my 0:38:34.339 --> 0:38:37.019 favorite situation, the Patriots and the Jets, Ganggreen still looking 0:38:37.099 --> 0:38:39.579 for the elusive first interception of the season. 0:38:40.019 --> 0:38:42.179 I'm not sure they get it here. I like New 0:38:42.219 --> 0:38:43.939 England to win thirty. 0:38:43.619 --> 0:38:48.139 Two to sixteen, because, look, it's been a tough go 0:38:49.179 --> 0:38:51.739 as we look back at some of the things that 0:38:51.819 --> 0:38:55.819 have taken place against this Jets team, where everybody's getting 0:38:55.859 --> 0:38:58.539 healthy in any different number of ways, whether they're running 0:38:58.619 --> 0:39:01.219 and passing, it's a rough go. 0:39:01.699 --> 0:39:02.539 Thirty two to sixteen. 0:39:03.219 --> 0:39:05.459 We're being generous the Jets. They have lost the last 0:39:05.499 --> 0:39:07.659 three weeks by an average of twenty five. 0:39:07.779 --> 0:39:09.739 Look at Greg's score twenty four to six. 0:39:09.819 --> 0:39:12.299 Yeah, again, that's generous. That's way closer than they've been 0:39:12.379 --> 0:39:12.979 in three weeks. 0:39:13.019 --> 0:39:15.419 When we come back, it sound elect Greg have that 0:39:15.539 --> 0:39:18.579 freak flag fly because he's hit his player props two 0:39:18.659 --> 0:39:19.339 weeks in a row. 0:39:19.939 --> 0:39:22.339 One more time and he's on fire. 0:39:22.499 --> 0:39:25.459 Boom shocka locka shout out to NBA jam our favorite 0:39:25.499 --> 0:39:28.219 props of the week coming up next on Game Debut. 0:39:35.579 --> 0:39:38.579 Tom for write this down. That's our gift to you 0:39:38.659 --> 0:39:38.899 as well. 0:39:38.899 --> 0:39:42.739 Get some prop predictions for Week seventeen that leadoff Greg. 0:39:42.659 --> 0:39:45.419 Well, I'm giving out an extra pick, Oh Christmas to 0:39:45.939 --> 0:39:48.699 write this downs. It's a theme here. The Rams and 0:39:48.739 --> 0:39:52.339 the Seahawks are the two best teams in the entire NFL. 0:39:52.419 --> 0:39:54.819 They're both gonna win big and their rushing stars are 0:39:54.859 --> 0:39:57.259 gonna have big numbers. So Kyra and Williams for the 0:39:57.419 --> 0:40:00.499 Rams in this game goes over sixty three and a 0:40:00.539 --> 0:40:03.459 half rushing yard that's against the Falcons, and then Kenneth 0:40:03.539 --> 0:40:07.739 Walker the goes over fifty three rushing yards against the Panthers. 0:40:07.819 --> 0:40:11.419 I really see scenarios where both these teams needing big 0:40:11.499 --> 0:40:15.059 time wins overwhelm their opponents, who, by the way, are 0:40:15.379 --> 0:40:19.579 two very poor teams against ground attacks, especially the Arizona Cardinals. 0:40:19.619 --> 0:40:21.539 So I feel great about that Walker pick. But Kyrin 0:40:21.579 --> 0:40:22.939 Williams he gets it done too. 0:40:23.219 --> 0:40:25.019 Two and oh I got to catch up on Patrick 0:40:25.619 --> 0:40:26.899 Well Okay. 0:40:26.899 --> 0:40:30.659 But ceedee Lamb that have at least six catches against 0:40:30.659 --> 0:40:33.779 the Commanders on Christmas. He got snubbed for the Pro Bowl. 0:40:33.899 --> 0:40:36.259 That's right, Maybe you should have taken George Trades. I 0:40:36.299 --> 0:40:36.739 didn't even care. 0:40:36.819 --> 0:40:38.699 I like See Lamb better because I think he is 0:40:38.779 --> 0:40:41.179 the one who, to me in this matchup the more 0:40:41.259 --> 0:40:45.179 reliable opportunity here for at least six receptions. I also 0:40:45.219 --> 0:40:47.979 think there's an epic kind of historical data point here 0:40:48.059 --> 0:40:50.899 that he or Justin Jefferson could at the end of 0:40:50.939 --> 0:40:53.419 the season. They both have already broken a record from 0:40:53.499 --> 0:40:56.019 Jervis Landry for the most receptions of the players. 0:40:55.779 --> 0:40:56.419 For six seasons. 0:40:56.539 --> 0:40:57.939 Who's going to be at the end of the season, 0:40:58.099 --> 0:40:58.579 See Lamb. 0:40:58.619 --> 0:41:01.859 That's my pick, yes, because only one, only one can 0:41:01.939 --> 0:41:04.659 be good. I folks, you know Christmas, to get new presence, 0:41:04.699 --> 0:41:07.139 to get new consoles. Occasionally you need to remember you 0:41:07.179 --> 0:41:08.019 gotta get outside. 0:41:08.579 --> 0:41:09.579 Running outside is. 0:41:09.579 --> 0:41:12.899 What DeAndre Swift excels in in this Bears offense. And 0:41:12.979 --> 0:41:15.579 I think they go into Santa Clara and he goes 0:41:15.659 --> 0:41:20.219 for over sixty yards against the number twenty five ranked defense. 0:41:19.779 --> 0:41:21.379 A defending the outside run. 0:41:21.499 --> 0:41:23.779 Ben Johnson knows what he's doing when he's calling the 0:41:23.819 --> 0:41:26.059 place he puts the guys in position to be successful, 0:41:26.139 --> 0:41:27.859 and I think you can put yourself in a good 0:41:27.859 --> 0:41:30.579 position if you take note of the opportunity. 0:41:30.059 --> 0:41:31.419 For Deandre's epic Ho ho ho. 0:41:31.819 --> 0:41:32.859 That was so like it. 0:41:33.019 --> 0:41:33.899 No, No, I didn't like it. 0:41:33.979 --> 0:41:35.739 I loved It's a host that can you more. 0:41:35.859 --> 0:41:39.539 He can be Oh, thanks for watching game debut for 0:41:39.659 --> 0:41:43.019 Cynthia Frielan and Greg Rosental.
