00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: hour Week twelve Gambling Show spoiler alert. On The Gambling Show,

11
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: I had my worst week of the season and Demonde

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: crushed another teaser. So happy for you, gotta be honest,

13
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: A little sad for me. I thought my process was

14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: quite sound last week. I liked where I was and

15
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: these were not close losses. These were not ah I

16
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 2: got unlucky, these were annihilations. I had the Falcons catching

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: a couple points and they lost by thirty to bow Knicks.

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: I waxed poetic about the Chiefs and Mahomes as an underdog.

19
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: They're down nine for the bulk of that fourth quarter.

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: I mean, really just a debacle, a true gambling tragedy

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: of a day. And it was you know, I have

22
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: been on bit of a cold streak after really ride

23
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: and high with my actual real life bets because I

24
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: make the bets that I the five picks. I make

25
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: those bets, but those aren't the only bets I make

26
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: throughout the week. And I'd been doing really well up

27
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: until a couple tuesdays ago, and it started with the election.

28
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 2: Bets got hammered, just absolutely brutalized on every front. There

29
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: A lost minus three hundred popular vote bet, obviously lost

30
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: overall winner, lost the state bets. So that wasn't great.

31
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: That weekend, I, i'll be honest, chased my gambling losses

32
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: or my election losses with some football bets. And then

33
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: this weekend I was like, well, luckily, the gambling gods

34
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: have given me a gift, and that gift is Patrick

35
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: Mahomes as an underdog. And so this is one of

36
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: those times where Demond's we pause, we regroup, We're very

37
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: very thankful that we have a good job and that

38
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: we have you know money. He set aside that your

39
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: mother doesn't always see as our annual gambling budget. While

40
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: that pot of money had been growing over the course

41
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: of the year, it's now somewhat depleted. And we regroup.

42
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what we have to do. And

43
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: you get, you know, you get the weird call from

44
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: your accountant like, hey, I'm a little worried, is there

45
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: Like has your PayPal been hacked? And it's like, no,

46
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: just paying people I lost bets to. It's like really,

47
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: like are you no double check that. They're like this

48
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: is I'm like no, Like yeah, They're like, what is

49
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: what does the k H note line me? I'm like,

50
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: well it means Kamala Harris Like okay, what about what

51
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: about de T I was like, oh that was Lion's

52
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: minus three and a half. In a night, Jared Goff

53
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: through five interceptions like listen, this is Liz life. You

54
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: got it, like the the you you know, this is

55
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: the you know, the life I have chosen, so to speak,

56
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: And so I have to regroup. Is the short version,

57
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: and today is the path back to profitability. It's the

58
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: only way to Oh I didn't even mention and again

59
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: no spoilers, but mixed in in this two week period,

60
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: I did also play in the highest stakes poker game

61
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: of my life with Phil Locke, Phil Helm The Antonio's

62
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: Fondiari and others. And again that won't come out until

63
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: the spring on YouTube. And I'm not giving anything away,

64
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: but I what I will say is, do you think

65
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: I'd be more or less tilted if I had crushed

66
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: that game or not?

67
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Like this?

68
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: So you guys, you guys, go ahead and do the

69
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: math on how the last you know, fifteen days have

70
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: gone for your old buddy Nick, right, and you know

71
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: we keep it moving, all right, Here's what missed the

72
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: cut on today's show. That was therapeutic man coach Ray

73
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: Lewis maybe to Florida Atlantic. Well, he's not gonna do

74
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: worse than Trent Dilfer. Lebron celebrates Dalton connect which has

75
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: been just a great draft pick by the Lakers. He's

76
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: been awesome and my favorite tennis player of all time,

77
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 2: Rofin Adah has retired. All right, demons, let's get to

78
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: an organization, a team, some people who somehow have managed

79
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 2: to have a worse last couple of weeks than me.

80
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: The New York Football Jets.

81
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 3: Go ahead, and so the Jets fired their GM somehow,

82
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: that's not the huge story coming out of there. Apparently

83
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: their owner of Woody Johnson wanted a bench Aaron Rodgers

84
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: after week four. This organization's obviously a mess from top

85
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: to bottom. You can't really just put it all on Rogers,

86
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: but he's a part of it. People say Belichick will

87
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: be a great coach again if someone else ran this team.

88
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 3: Do you think the same would be true for Aaron Rodgers.

89
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: No, So listen, it's obviously not all on Aaron and

90
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: what he is one of, if not the worst owner

91
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: in the league. And here is here is my big

92
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: concern if for Jet fans out there, because Jet fans,

93
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: the majority of them deserve better. And I say the

94
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: majority of them because I don't really care if Fireman

95
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: ed gets better or not. Ever since that guy ran

96
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: to the media and was like, they're not putting me

97
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: on the jumbo tron as much as they used to.

98
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: They're phasing me out, Like, buddy, relax, you're a guy

99
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: that wears a fireman's helmet to football games and they

100
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: really think you're the fifty fourth guy on the roster.

101
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: Like we calm down with the Jets ops are phasing

102
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: me out of the operation. But most Jet fans good folks,

103
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: and they have to deal with the fact that they

104
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: live in a two team city and if the people

105
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: aren't Jet fans or Giant fans. And while the Giants

106
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: have been a disaster for the last half decade, they

107
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: are a prestige franchise. They won Super Bowls with Parcels,

108
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: they won Super Bowls with Eli, They've played in big

109
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: games like so you have that little brother big brother thing,

110
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: and you add to it, a lot of Jet fans

111
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: are also Met fans, and a lot of Giant fans

112
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: are Yankee fans. That's usually how it goes, like Jets, Mets, Giants, Yankees,

113
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: and then everyone's a Knicks fan because nobody likes the Nets.

114
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: So you have like you get little Brother two times over.

115
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: So I do feel for Jet fans sincerely, again, except

116
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: for Firemanette. And I here's my concern. It appears to

117
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: me Woody Johnson might be the reason I think he

118
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: fired Joe Douglas, who I have no tears for Joe Douglas.

119
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bounce around here a bit. I apologize. It

120
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: is it is very very clear that Joe Douglas made

121
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: a lot of friends in the media. When a guy

122
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: who's thirty and sixty four and got six years to

123
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: be a general manager, people are like, oh, man, look

124
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: at all these great players he drafted. Bro, you ran

125
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: this team for six years. They were a disaster the

126
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: whole time. Yeah, the the drafts couldn't have been that great.

127
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: And you were like, oh, the twenty twenty two draft,

128
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: you're you had the fourth tenth, twenty sixth, and thirty

129
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: sixth pick of that draft. You're supposed to do well

130
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 2: in that draft. Now you got one of those extra

131
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: picks by trading the Jamal Adam trade, which wasn't all

132
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: time good trade, and credit to him for that. But

133
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: this the little mini violins for Joe Douglas because he

134
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: had been a friend to media and maybe fed some

135
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: stories like it was a little too much for my taste,

136
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: like he wasn't done wrong. But firing your GM mid

137
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: season is odd. It's just it's not like you're you

138
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: fire ahead coach mid season because you want to spark.

139
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: Firing your GM it doesn't make a lot of sense.

140
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 2: So why do I think Woody Johnson did it? And

141
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: here's where I feel badly for Jet fans because I

142
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: do believe Woody Johnson is gonna take a job with

143
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: the Trump administration like he did eight years ago, probably

144
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: ambassador to England once again, and when that happens, he

145
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: has to relinquish control of the team to his brother, Christopher.

146
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: I think what wood he is trying to do is

147
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: get a head start on everything as far as the

148
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: next head coach and the next GM, so he can

149
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: make those hires before he leaves. And that is going

150
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: to create such a terrible situation for the Jets because

151
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: that you're gonna have a new head coach, a new GM,

152
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: both potentially hired by a guy who now is no

153
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: longer in charge, and for the next four years Christopher's

154
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 2: gonna be there. Is he gonna want the people his

155
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: brother put in place? Are those people gonna feel like

156
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: who's the actual boss? Like? It's just a bad process.

157
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: What if Woody knows he's gonna take over an ambassadorship

158
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: to the United Kingdom like he did eight years ago,

159
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: then these should be Christopher's hires, because Christopher is gonna

160
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: be the one who oversees it. But it does not

161
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: appear that that's what's gonna happen. So that's bad news

162
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: for Jet fans. Now, the idea that wood he would

163
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: he I believe this reporting, Okay. I believe the reporting

164
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: that Woody Johnson went to Jeff Ulbrick last week and said,

165
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: you need to bench safety Tony Adams. I believe the

166
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: reporting that Woody Johnson gets ideas from fans on social

167
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 2: media and then brings them to the coaches and wants

168
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 2: them to implement it. And I believe the reporting that

169
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: Woody Johnson after week four wanted them to bench Aaron

170
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: Rodgers and then after week six wanted them to trade

171
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: for Aaron Rodgers Buddy Devonte Adams. Even though those two

172
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 2: things seem to be in conflict, it's because we have

173
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: no evidence whatsoever that Woody Johnson knows what he's doing. Now,

174
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: with all that said, as it turns out, benching Aaron

175
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 2: Rodgers would not have been the wrong decision. It would

176
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: have been real like now that we know what happened,

177
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: they wouldn't have been worse since he wanted to bench them.

178
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: They've lost six of seven, they fired their coach, they

179
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: fired their GM and one of the benefits of if

180
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: they would have benched Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor, they

181
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: wouldn't have traded for Devonte Adams, and that Devonte Adams

182
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: trade is now gonna end up being the worst trade

183
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: of the NFL season. That's gonna be around the seventieth

184
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: pick that they gave up for a dozen games of Davante,

185
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: dozen unproductive games of Vante Adams for a bad team.

186
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 2: They gave up for Davante the same almost exactly same

187
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: exact pick the Titans gave up for Lagerius Snead. They

188
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: got Sneed in his prime long contract. Because the Chiefs

189
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: are gonna have the Titans third round pick this upcoming

190
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: year right now that's projected to be picked sixty eight.

191
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: The Raiders are gonna get the jets upcoming third round

192
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: pick right now that's projected to be picked seventy. So

193
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: it's the same thing, like that's a disastrous trade. But

194
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: then this does The other reporting is that the Jets

195
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: don't want Aaron back next year. Okay, now there is

196
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: a little The other thing I'd be worried about if

197
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm a Jet fan is this because it it what again?

198
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: Further reporting is that Aaron is actually really close with

199
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: Christopher does Aaron slow play will I or won't I

200
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: retire to try to prevent the Jets from cutting him

201
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: until Christopher takes over and then be like, no, I

202
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: want to come back and see if he can lean

203
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: on that relationship as a reason they don't cut him,

204
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: Because if they cut him, who is signing up demonsee

205
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 2: for Aaron Rodgers next year? Would Aaron Rodgers have a

206
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: single team in the league that says we want you

207
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: to be our Week one starter. I don't think so.

208
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: I got Here's like, I gotta think the third are

209
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: gonna draft a quarterback? Yeah? Like so, I I went

210
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: through it yesterday on the show, and we can we

211
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: can quickly do it here if we take the most

212
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: liberal view of what teams might be in the quarterback

213
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: business next year. Okay, AFC East, none of those teams

214
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: allen to a Drake may Or locked and the Jets

215
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: are This is under the assumption the Jets have cut Aaron, AFC, North, Ravens, Bengals,

216
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: no Browns. Maybe, But when the Browns are still dealing

217
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: with the Deshaun Watson thing, I don't think they're all

218
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: of a sudden gonna be like we're gonna bring in

219
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: another expensive old quarterback like so cross them out. Steelers

220
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: are an intriguing one only in this regard, neither Russ

221
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: nor Fields are on the contract for next year, so

222
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: they don't have their quarterback.

223
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: Under Rouns like I don't think Mike Aaron Rodgers.

224
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: Not after what's happened this year. I agree with you entirely.

225
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: I think not after the way it's gone. I think

226
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: he would have once upon a time, but not at

227
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: this point. And I think their plans probably to bring

228
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson back right so like so, now the AFC

229
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: North is out AFC South. The Jags and Texans have

230
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: committed to their quarterbacks. They're not available. Titans Colts. I

231
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: don't think the Colts are gonna pull the plug on

232
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson. I think they're now that they've gone back

233
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: to him. I think they're gonna give him next year

234
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: to see. The Titans are maybe Chargers Broncos. They all

235
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: think they you know, they all have their guy or

236
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: think they have their guy. The Raiders are going to

237
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: be in the quarterback business. Tom Brady's gonna have a

238
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: strong say in that. Do we think Tom Brady, with

239
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: everything he represents about leadership team, any of it is

240
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: gonna be like Aaron Rodgers is the guy. Absolutely not.

241
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: They're gonna draft a quarterback. So there's that NFC East, Philly, Washington,

242
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: Dallas all as their quarterbacks. The Giants need one. The Giants'

243
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: new regime is gonna draft a quarterback flat like like

244
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: they are not. They're not close enough and don't have

245
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: the like to be like, oh, we're Aaron Rodgers away,

246
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: So they're out. No one in the NFC North is

247
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: in the quarterback business. No one in the NFC West

248
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: is in the quarterback business. So then we go to

249
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: the NFC South. Atlanta's got two quarterbacks, Tampa's committed to Baker,

250
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: Saints Panthers. Panthers are drafting their guy. The Saints just

251
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: extended Derek Carr and they're in hell. So when we

252
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: go through the whole thing, Demons, there is one team

253
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: that maybe would be in the Aaron Rodgers business. The

254
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans the only team, and I think that would

255
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: be crazy. I think the Titans need to be honest

256
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: about where they are. They're not Aaron and Aaron Rodgers

257
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: away and he's not that good. So I say all

258
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: that to say this, Even everyone's like, will Aaron retire,

259
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: I think gonna. It's gonna be a forced retirement. I

260
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 2: don't think there is going to be a team that

261
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: wants him as the Week one starter. I do think

262
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: there's a possibility that there is a team next year

263
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: during the season, if a quarterback gets injured, that a

264
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: really good team. The example I used on the show

265
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: yesterday was a team, say a team that's in the

266
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: position the Lions are right now, we're rolling, we can

267
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl. We have a great roster all

268
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: around it. That quarterback gets hurt, would that team potentially

269
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 2: call him? Maybe, But he hasn't put good tape out

270
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 2: there in three years. He obviously is not a leader,

271
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: he's obviously not accountable. So yes, the Jets thing's a disaster.

272
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: I also think we're watching the very end of Aaron Rodgers'

273
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: career and it is a nondescript, sad, self inflicted ending.

274
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: And so that's where I think we are with the Jets.

275
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say one other thing on this Demansey,

276
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: I'm totally fine with if that fifteen minutes right there

277
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: is the last we talk about the Jets. This year.

278
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: I don't need any more victory. Laps I was right.

279
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: Almost everyone else in the media was wrong. I'm fine

280
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 2: with it. Right, Like, there is a real soft skill

281
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: to being an NFL quarterback that involves leadership, that involves

282
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: taking accountability, that involves being there for your teammates, and

283
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: a hard skill of being an NFL quarterback that involves

284
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 2: being able to move, having two functioning achilles, still being

285
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: the player you once were, and Aaron goes over on

286
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: all of them. So we're listen, we're talking about if

287
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: Wood he's gonna take a job in the Trump administration,

288
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: maybe that maybe Aaron gets the ambassadorship to Peru and

289
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: can become America's foremost ayahuasca expert. But his career as

290
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 2: a relevant NFL player has a half dozen games left.

291
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: That's where we're at, all right, let's go to the

292
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: tiers if we can.

293
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: Yes, So the Committee shocked America on first things First,

294
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: yesterday you guys put Buffalo, Buffalo at number one, Kansas

295
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 3: City's at number two. Did you guys do Mahomes Mountain Yeah?

296
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 2: Orse on Tuesday, that's on Tuesdays. Yeah, so I do

297
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: Mahomes are still number one.

298
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 3: Okay, so it doesn't still number.

299
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: One on Mahomes Mountain. What do you mean it doesn't

300
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: make sense?

301
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 3: Would make sense. Here's Josh Allen to be the number

302
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 3: one on Mahomes Mountain because he's well.

303
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: So here's the thing. So it's again, it's a rich tapestry.

304
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: It's not just record, it's not just head to head,

305
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: it's not just stats. It's a lot of things. Patrick

306
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: is in a position right now where on and then

307
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: we'll get to the tiers where in order for someone

308
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: else to have a legitimate claim that they are the

309
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: best quarterback in the league, I think they have to

310
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: pull off the triple crown this season, meaning they have

311
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: to win League MVP, they have to beat Patrick in

312
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: the postseason, and they have to win the Super Bowl

313
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: if Josh or Lamar or Burrow, but Burrow's not gonna

314
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: have the opportunity do any of those things, or do

315
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 2: all of those things. Pardon me. And then you want

316
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: to say, going into next season, this guy is the

317
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 2: best quarterback in football, so be it. I might disagree,

318
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: but it'll be a fair argument. But when one guy

319
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 2: is the two time defending Super Bowl champion, we have

320
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 2: seen him each of the last two years, play perfect

321
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 2: postseason football, and the team does still have the best

322
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: record in the league, and he is in the discussion

323
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 2: for the greatest in the history of the league. He

324
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: is going to stay at top. Mahomes mountain the tiers.

325
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: On the other hand, again, we do have a committee.

326
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that vote on this. I

327
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: made similar arguments for the Chiefs that I just made

328
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: for Mahomes, like they need to lose more to be

329
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: knocked off. The committee said, hey, Buffalo's looked better in

330
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: the last six weeks. They just beat him head to head.

331
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: They beat him by more than one score, which is

332
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: only the fifth time in one hundred and twenty four

333
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: career games for Mahomes. He got the Chiefs got beaten

334
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 2: by more than eight points, so they went atop the tiers.

335
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: But go ahead with the rest of your question. Sorry

336
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: about that.

337
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: Yes, if Patrick Mahomes came out and said that losing

338
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: is probably a good thing, do you expect the Chiefs

339
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: to come out and be better after the loss or

340
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 3: you convinced that the team that you've seen so far

341
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 3: is all that they need to win the chip?

342
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, people, there's a lot of speculation. Oh Man,

343
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: bad news for the Panthers. Chiefs angry coming off the loss.

344
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: They're gonna roll the Panthers this week, probably not probably

345
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: win by like four. Like I I the the Chiefs

346
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: don't operate as if the objective is to blow the

347
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 2: other team out. And I know that can frustrate people,

348
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 2: and it's why people foolishly are saying the Lions are

349
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 2: the best team in the league because they do do that.

350
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: But the Chiefs use the first half of these games

351
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: to work on things and then trust that in the

352
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 2: second half of these games will slowly the fourth quarter

353
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: they are going to find a way to win. Now,

354
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: this week it bit them and they need to, you know,

355
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: look at what happened and why it happened. But even

356
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: this week, when the Bills went up with fourteen minutes left,

357
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: what did you instantly see the single best drive of

358
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: the chief season? Bang bang bang bang bang right down

359
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: the field, no resistance, touchdown. And I'm sure in that

360
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: moment they were like, okay, great down to defense gets

361
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: a stop, Pat gets the ball, we go win the game.

362
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 2: Devens didn't get the stop. They played with fire a

363
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: little too much in that game, starting with Patrick's first

364
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 2: interception on the first play of the game, and all

365
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you're down by nine to two minutes

366
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 2: left and the game's over. As far as my level

367
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: of concern for Kansas City, it's nonexistent. They are while

368
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: other teams are now injuries are starting to pile up

369
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: the Chiefs in the next two weeks. Get Isaiah Pacheco back,

370
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: Get Charles amenehu Bak, who hasn't played since the playoffs

371
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 2: last year. There are now rumblings they are going to

372
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: get Hollywood Brown before the end of the regular season.

373
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: He hasn't played with them at all. And I have

374
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: more weapons and better offensively. And the other reason I

375
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 2: am not worried about the Chiefs at all is I

376
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: simply think the Mahomes interceptions are going to go away

377
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: come the postseason, because they always do. And the sneaky,

378
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: most important and craziest stat of this NFL season, Demons,

379
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 2: is the following. There are ten teams who have a

380
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: minus five or worse turnover differential in the NFL this year.

381
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: Ten teams. Okay, they those ten teams currently have the

382
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: worst record in the league, the second worst record, the

383
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: third worst record, the fourth worst record, the fifth worst record,

384
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 2: the sixth worst record, the eighth worst record, the ninth

385
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: worst record, and then Seattle which is five hundred, and

386
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, which have the best record in the NFL.

387
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: So let me say that again. Every team in the

388
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 2: league that has a plus minus of minus five or worse,

389
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 2: there's ten of them. Eight of them are eight of

390
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: the nine worst teams in the league, all two or

391
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: three win teams. And then the outlier is Seattle, which

392
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: despite the turnover differential, is five hundred. And then the

393
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: super outlier is the Chiefs, which are nine to one.

394
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: So they are they have played one of the toughest schedules,

395
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: they have the best record, and they're doing it despite

396
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: the fact they aren't forcing turnovers and they're turning the

397
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 2: ball over like crazy. Now some would say, oh, well,

398
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: that's gonna bite you in the playoffs, but they don't

399
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 2: turn the ball. Patrick doesn't turn the ball over in

400
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Since the last time they lost a playoff game.

401
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: He's played seven he has one one turnover, and so

402
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: I just I I'm not concerned. What do you mean.

403
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 3: Higher than of the past.

404
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: It's not that much higher than last year. So that's

405
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: the thing people like I would be concerned if we

406
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: didn't see last year. And by the way, last year

407
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: this also applied. Last regular season, the Chiefs had the

408
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: fifth worst plus minus of any team in the league.

409
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 2: They were minus eleven. The other teams that were minus

410
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: eleven or worse were the Commanders who were awful, Minnesota

411
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 2: who was mediocre, the Falcons who were awful, and the Patriots,

412
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 2: who were third worst record in the league. And then

413
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: there's the Chiefs at minus tied with New England last year.

414
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: And then what happened in the playoffs. They stopped. They

415
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 2: stopped because Patrick stopped. And so there is. Last year's

416
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: Chiefs team was not good offensively. This year's Chiefs team

417
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 2: is good but not great.

418
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 3: Thinks like that wide receiver room was pretty bad and

419
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: now he's got better weapons, so I feel like should

420
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 3: be less likely to throw more paces.

421
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: I don't know how much better weapons he has this

422
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: year as presently constituted, so like like, and by the

423
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins is been an awesome addition, and the Chiefs

424
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: offense has looked really good since they added DeAndre Hopkins.

425
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: So the I mean in Mahomes's numbers are way better

426
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 2: since they added DeAndre Hopkins. Xavier Worthy will be a

427
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: good player if he stays healthy, but he's a rookie

428
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: wide receiver going through growing pains. And I want to

429
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: make this clear. Patrick has not played that well. His

430
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: footwork's it's been weird. He's had bad turnovers and more

431
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: games than not. I just and so if the Chiefs

432
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: get this level of play from Patrick Mahomes, they can

433
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: win the super Bowl, but it'll be a dogfight. But

434
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: if they get playoff Patrick Mahomes, which they do every

435
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: single year, then they're far and away by a mile,

436
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: the best team in the league. All right, next, Yeah,

437
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: so you've.

438
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 3: Been on an island when it comes to Lamar. Everybody

439
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: loves him, you see right through, I guess. And you

440
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 3: also find yourself being the most pro Bills guy and

441
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 3: anointing Josh Allen and the Bills. I'm so weird timing

442
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: Josh Allen just passed Lamar Jackson for the MVP race.

443
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: How far are you willing to take this? Or you

444
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 3: are you willing to take it as far as saying

445
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 3: that Josh Allen will win the NFL.

446
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: MVP right now, he's the deserving favorite. Listen to me,

447
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: the top two guys should be him and Saquon. I

448
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: think Saquan's reinvented that Eagles team and Saquan's numbers are unbelievable.

449
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: And he also has had a seven or eight touchdowns

450
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: sniped from him. But did you see this nine times

451
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: this year, Demons, he has ran the ball to the

452
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: one yard line and eight of the nine the next

453
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: play was a Jalen Hurts toush push Like so, I

454
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: mean there has just been so he is not He

455
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: could have seventeen eighteen touchdowns this year he has ten.

456
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: He could have, you know, a bunch more so. I

457
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: think Saquan's been unbelievable. Josh has been great, and in

458
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: the biggest game of the NFL season, Josh made the

459
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: game winning play like the So, I I got a

460
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: little annoyed on the TV show the other day because

461
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: uh Wilde said, my Bills takes are confusing, and I said,

462
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 2: it's actually not confusing at all. It's very very consistent

463
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: every single year. My opinion on the Buffalo Bills every

464
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: year I've been on TV has been one thing, and

465
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: one thing only, the correct opinion, Like that's what it's

466
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: It's not confusing at all. It's just I'm right. So

467
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: when everyone thinks the Bills, you know, three years ago,

468
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: are this unstoppable juggernaut, I said no, they're a good

469
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: but not great team. Last year, when folks said this

470
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: is the year that they're going to, you know, get

471
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: Kansas City, they've got it in Buffalo, I said, no,

472
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have another gear. They'll get them. Two years

473
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: ago when everyone said it's Mahomes and Allan, Allan Mahomes,

474
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: and I said, I think you're forgetting Joe Burrow in

475
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: this equation. Joe Burrow then played Allan in the playoffs.

476
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: He played great, Alan played poorly and beat him. This year,

477
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: when I said, you guys are drastically overrating the importance

478
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: of Stefan, Didy, Biggs, Hide and player, and this Bills

479
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: team is not gonna have to worry about the Jets

480
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: in that division. They're clearly the best team, and the

481
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: Bills are the second best team in the AFC. I've

482
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: been right again, and so this would be a year

483
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: that Josh deserves legitimate MVP consideration, unlike previous years when

484
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: it's been in my opinion, what people are actually doing

485
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 2: with Lamar this year, which is only discussing his great

486
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: games and trying to ignore the times he's struggled. That's

487
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: what we've done with Allen in the past. This year,

488
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: he's been the engine. He's been smarter with the ball.

489
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: He doesn't have great weapons, he has run the ball

490
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: more judiciously, but just as effectively. So yeah, like Josh,

491
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: Allen's been playing the quarterback position better than anyone in

492
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: football this year. His team's got the second best record

493
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: in the conference. That that's usually how you win lead and.

494
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: So you get on top of Mahomes Mountain.

495
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: Though no, again, it's a rich tapestry. And I do

496
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: have to tell you, like if it were called Allen's Alps,

497
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: then maybe he would have a stronger case. But it's

498
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: quite hard to knock the name's sake off the top

499
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: of the mountain. I mean, it just it just is

500
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: all right. Last one demonse, Uh so you.

501
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 3: Declare yourself NFC bachelor and things are getting pretty serious.

502
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,239
Speaker 3: And now it's down to two teams. The winner of

503
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 3: Philly and the Rams will win your heart. Bachelor, Nick,

504
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: please make your decision. Who wins your heart?

505
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: Sunday. Oh that's a heck of a background. You've got there.

506
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. I'm actually not gonna make a

507
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 2: prediction for this game. I'm gonna tell you what I'm

508
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: rooting for, though, So so I let me back up

509
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: in case the audience hasn't been following this demonsey on

510
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: the TV show. So my preseason pick was obviously the Bears,

511
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 2: and they're cooked. And they fired their offensive coordinator and

512
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 2: Caleb up until this past week and have been struggling,

513
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: and so they're cooked. So I've admitted defeat on that.

514
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 2: But I have to pick another team and I so

515
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 2: let's just go through the potential teams that didn't make

516
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 2: the final cut. Washington is slowing down a bit. Jaden

517
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 2: hasn't been the same guy since his ribs got cracked.

518
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: I don't really tough trust Kingsbury, so take them out.

519
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: The Packers I think have been a little smoke and

520
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: mirrors lately. I think they're good, but they're not gonna

521
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: win three consecutive playoff games all on the road, so

522
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 2: take them out. Obviously, no team from the NFC South

523
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: can do it. And in the NFC West, the Niners,

524
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna miss the playoffs. The Cardinals are

525
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: a hell of a story, but they're not winning three

526
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: straight playoff games. Like, so, who's left? Who's left is

527
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 2: the Lions, the Eagles, and the Rams. Well, the Lions

528
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: a it would feel a little front running b coach

529
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 2: and Greg already picked them and C and I know

530
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: Lions fans very mad at me about this. I don't

531
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: fully trust Jared Goff, So they are They're out. So

532
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 2: then we have the Eagles in the Rams. Now the Rams.

533
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 2: I have abandon the Bears. They're four and six. The

534
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: Rams are only five and five. The Rams might not

535
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 2: even make the playoffs. However, they've won four out of five.

536
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: Stafford when he's got both his receivers is just deadly.

537
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: They crushed the draft on that defensive line with Verse

538
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 2: and Fisk, and they get pressure on the quarterback. Now

539
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 2: that their offensive lines getting healthier, they're dangerous. Mcveigh's as

540
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: good of a co coach as there is in that conference.

541
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: The Eagles. It's a weird spot because I don't trust

542
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 2: the coach at all, and I only kind of trust

543
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 2: the quarterback. But the defense went from awful to really

544
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 2: good with Fangio and his additions. I didn't think they'd

545
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 2: be able to do it when the receivers are healthy

546
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 2: and Jalen is willing to run the ball as he

547
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: is more this year than last year. That's how that

548
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 2: offense gets to twenty twenty two offense. Jalen hurts with

549
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 2: some Reid option stuff, Jalen Hurts running the ball, Tush

550
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: push cooking, and then deep shots to aj Brown who's

551
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: just unbelievable. And Saquan has been a world changer. So

552
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 2: it's Eagles Rams. I'm rooting for the Rams this weekend.

553
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: I would rather have the Rams be my pick, but

554
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 2: if they lose and fall to five, and they're a

555
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: long shot just to make the playoffs, so I hope

556
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: the Rams win because I want to ride with the Rams.

557
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 2: But if they don't, Philly is positioned so well to

558
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 2: be at the very least the two seed, maybe the

559
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: one seed of Detroit falters, and they have such a

560
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: well put together roster right now. I don't know if

561
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 2: Sirianni would screw it up, and in a game management off,

562
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 2: Sirianni versus Dan Campbell is really not like Dan Campbell's

563
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 2: got some game management issues himself, so it wouldn't be

564
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: as much of a killer. So I'm not making a

565
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 2: pick for this game. I'm gonna, you know, let the

566
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: chips fall where they may. But the winner of this game,

567
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: I've got going to the super Bowl. That's what I'm

568
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: telling you. The winner gets my pick for the NFC

569
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: to play the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. I hope

570
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,959
Speaker 2: it's Rams. I would love to be able to root

571
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 2: for the Rams the rest of the year and Ian

572
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 2: McVeigh in the Super Bowl would be dope. No, I'd

573
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 2: rather play Philly because if the Rams get to the

574
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 2: super Bowl, it means they are they started one and four, Yeah,

575
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: I mean it would mean they you know that they

576
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 2: would probably at that point of one gosh, twelve out

577
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 2: of fifteen to get there, like it and so and

578
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: the Chiefs like either of these teams would present problems

579
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 2: for the Chief's second corner, whether it's Devonte Smith or

580
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup that the Chief's number two corner has to

581
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: line up against. But I'll be rooting for the Rams,

582
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: all right. Quick break What's Right? Gambling Show Week twelve

583
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 2: to Monsey's weekly winning teaser, and I try to get

584
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 2: back on the winning track. That's next, What's truck Welcome

585
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 2: back in What's Right? With Nick right episode two eighty

586
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: Did I say two to seventy nine earlier? Whatever it is,

587
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: it's episode two eighty. Uh, all right, let's get this

588
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: over with the recap of last week's picks, because these

589
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: are bad, these bad picks. You should have talked me

590
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: out of some of these, Demanse, I mean, this is

591
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 2: a train wreck. One in four, worst week of the year.

592
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh plus three against Baltimore. That worked. It was obvious

593
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 2: on a lot of fronts. There was a brief moment

594
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 2: where it looked like I could get screwed if Lamar

595
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: could have pulled off the two point conversion. Then all

596
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 2: of a sudden, It's goes to overtime and Baltimore winning

597
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: by six is available. The other picks, though, Atlanta plus

598
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 2: two and a half at Denver they got boat raced,

599
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 2: absolutely just destroyed. Cleveland minus won at New Orleans. That

600
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 2: game was fourteen to fourteen, Demonse, and then I look

601
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: up what go ahead? No?

602
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: They why that I had that in my blazing five.

603
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 3: It was tied fourteen to fourteen. I think the kicker

604
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: missed the field goal. There was a flag. He ends

605
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 3: up kicking another field goal, misses it. Oh, yeah, no,

606
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 3: that that game screwed me as well.

607
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 2: And then this and then the Saints scored twenty one

608
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: unanswered Kasom Hill looks like damn Walter Peyton seven carries

609
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 2: for a buck thirty eight, lose by twenty one. So

610
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 2: that's a disaster. New England plus four and a half

611
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: against the Rams they bad They lose by eight, but

612
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: that one was gross two and we've already talked Chiefs Buffalo.

613
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: So really just a train wreck of a week. There's

614
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 2: no there's no getting around it. And we're now, how

615
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 2: long has it been since I had a five and

616
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 2: oh fill geez, I think I had a Let me check.

617
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 2: I think I had a four and one earlier this

618
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: week or earlier this year. I can look it up

619
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 2: real quick because our guy, our graphics guys sends me,

620
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: let me see. No, I had a four and one

621
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 2: in week five five and oh three, Well that's last year.

622
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 2: I think it's twenty twenty two. I don't think I

623
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: had a five and o last year. Yeah, so this

624
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 2: is a disaster. There's no way around it. I mean,

625
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 2: there's no mincing words here. We're twenty six, twenty eight

626
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: and one on the year, which means we need to

627
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: go at least four and one this week just to

628
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 2: get above five hundred five and oh would get us

629
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: nearing profitability at the least. So let's back to the

630
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: basics here. Some of these games, I gotta be honest,

631
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: are some ugly, grimy games, but you gotta do what

632
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 2: you gotta do. And demon'say, we're starting with Thursday night

633
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 2: football or starting with the game tonight. Go ahead.

634
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got a Cleveland plus three and a half

635
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 3: versus Pittsburgh.

636
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it looks like you don't love this one.

637
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 2: I'm just going I'm instituting a rule for the rest

638
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 2: of Knicks picks the rest of the year. AFC North

639
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: teams that are home dogs of at least three is

640
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 2: an auto fire the rest of the year. If it

641
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: is an AFC North again in a divisional matchup, if

642
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: it's AFC North versus AFC North and the home team

643
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 2: is getting at least three, I'm betting it. So I

644
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 2: think this is a potential letdown spot for Pittsburgh after

645
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 2: the last week's game. The total in this game is

646
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 2: only thirty seven points, which means it's gonna Vegas says

647
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 2: it's gonna be very low scoring, low scoring games. Getting

648
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: the points feels good. Cleveland not quite as bad as

649
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: the final score suggests from last week, because again that

650
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 2: game was fourteen to fourteen and then it got away

651
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 2: from him. This just feels like another ugly Pittsburgh win

652
00:42:55,120 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: sixteen thirteen, seventeen fourteen, something like that. I'm getting three

653
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 2: and a half AFC nor Thunderdogs cover sixty one percent

654
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 2: of the time against the spread over the last six years.

655
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 2: That's the best of any division Pittsburgh. I mean, it's

656
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 2: short week for both teams, obviously, but Pittsburgh maybe a

657
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 2: bit of an emotional letdown after the Ravens game. I

658
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: like Cleveland getting the points in this spot, so I'll

659
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 2: take Cleveland plus three and a half and Jamis for

660
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: them to only have scored fourteen points. Jamis did have

661
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 2: three hundred and ninety five passing yards and two touchdowns

662
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 2: in that Browns game, so he played well. He had

663
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 2: a bounce back game after his poor performance the week before.

664
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna do that against Pittsburgh, but

665
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 2: I'll take Cleveland plus three and a half.

666
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 3: Next, you've got Tampa Bay minus five and a half

667
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 3: of the Giants.

668
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Tampa's coming off a bye. They had got

669
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: a little extra life for their season over the last

670
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 2: couple of weeks because of how how Atlanta has looked.

671
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 2: You know, Baker's gonna be sharp. They got more life

672
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 2: in that they I don't think they're gonna have Mike

673
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 2: Evans this week, but Mike Evans returned to practice. Maybe

674
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 2: they'll have them this week, but they they know he's

675
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 2: coming back. And the Giants, it's not just that they're

676
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: starting Tommy DeVito, it's that the team seems pissed about it.

677
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: One of their star defensive players came out and said, yeah,

678
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 2: I'm mad that we're not starting the best quarterback we

679
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: have in Daniel Jones. Drew Locke is pissed. He's like,

680
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: I signed here thinking I was gonna be the number two.

681
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: So I don't know what's happened. Tommy DeVito is we

682
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: saw him last year. Is the reason they won the games.

683
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 2: They won. Their defense and special teams crushed. It was

684
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 2: less about Tommy DeVito. He was more mean than production.

685
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 2: I don't mind laying this many points because I think

686
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 2: this is a game. Tampa jumps out to a ten

687
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: point lead, and holds on to it. I don't think

688
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: the Giants are a backdoor cover type of team at all.

689
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 2: I think they might be a let go of the

690
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 2: rope type of team. Now they've be bench Daniel Jones,

691
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 2: so this feels to me like a twenty seven to

692
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 2: ten type of Tampa Bay victory rested healthier off a

693
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: bye Tommy DeVito, but Danny DeVito wouldn't be much difference,

694
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 2: I would assume. And so yeah, Tampa Bay minus five

695
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 2: and a half and by the way, road favorites off

696
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 2: a bye laying this much seven and two against the

697
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: spread in their last nine, that doesn't mean that much

698
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 2: to me, But I just like Tampa in this spot.

699
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:51,959
Speaker 3: Next, you got Tennessee plus eight at Houston, So this.

700
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: Is another one of those ugly ones. However, I don't

701
00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 2: think Houston's offensive line is good to warrant them being

702
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 2: more than a touchdown favorite against a good defensive front,

703
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 2: and the Titans, for all their weaknesses, their biggest strength

704
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 2: is that defensive front. I know that Jeffrey Simmons hasn't

705
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 2: had quite the year that he's had in years past.

706
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 2: He's still awesome. Harold Landry's really good to Andre sweatsman

707
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 2: good as a rookie. There are a lot like that

708
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 2: is the part of this game where I think Tennessee

709
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 2: has a decided edge. They're gonna run Tony Pollard a lot,

710
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: They're gonna try to shorten the game. Houston is, you know,

711
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 2: off a bit of not not a huge but off

712
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 2: a bit of a short week. And I didn't think

713
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,479
Speaker 2: even though they ended up blowing out Dallas, I didn't

714
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 2: think they looked overly impressive. You know, throughout the early

715
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 2: portions of that game. They you take out the Dallas game,

716
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: they not take out. But prior to the Dallas game,

717
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 2: their last four they lost to the Packers, they beat

718
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 2: the Colts by three. They lost to the Jets, which

719
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 2: is a flashing red alert. They lost to the Lions

720
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 2: despite golf throwing five picks. There's only been two games

721
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 2: all year they blew out the opponent, the game against

722
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 2: the Patriots six weeks ago and this Monday against Dallas.

723
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 2: And even again that game kind of became a blowout

724
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: on the rush, fumble, stripsack, fumble six. It's just too

725
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 2: many points. I don't think it's a divisional game. You're

726
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: gonna play the Titans again. Later in the year. I

727
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 2: like Tennessee plus eight feels like maybe twenty to fourteen,

728
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 2: twenty to seventeen type of game. I don't love it.

729
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 2: But the right side of this game is Tennessee plus eight.

730
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 2: And also Tennessee this past week, if you weren't watching,

731
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 2: they got a great stop on four fourth and goal.

732
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: It got wiped away due to a really awful, uh

733
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 2: defenseless receiver penalty where but when you look at the replay,

734
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 2: it was a totally clean hit to the player's chest

735
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: that flipped that game. Otherwise they're right there with the

736
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 2: Vikings in that spot. The Vikings are better than the Texans.

737
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 2: I like Tennessee plus eight.

738
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 3: Next Green Bay minus one and a half versus San fran.

739
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. So this is the first time in Purdy's regular

740
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 2: season career he's been an underdog, which is a banana's stat,

741
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 2: but it's a true stat. I don't I if Nicky

742
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 2: Bosa is not playing, this Niners defense goes from mediocre

743
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 2: to awful, and I don't know that he's playing. And

744
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 2: try as he might, if Nicky bos is not gonna

745
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: be out there, he can't make the Niners defense great again.

746
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 2: Like he wants to, and so that concerns me. I

747
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 2: don't think the Niners offense has been as crisp of

748
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 2: an operation. Shockingly, when Christian mccaffery's out or not looking

749
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 2: like Christian McCaffrey, you know they don't look quite the same.

750
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 2: I agree with Kyle Shanahan. Kyle Shanaan came out and

751
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 2: said brock Perty's playing at the exact same level he

752
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 2: did the last couple of years. Totally agree. And the

753
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 2: numbers are way different. Why because the pieces aren't the

754
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 2: same as they were the last couple of years. Brock

755
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 2: Purty is a mirror. He is going to reflect exactly

756
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 2: what the players around him have to offer. He's not

757
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 2: gonna elevate. He's not gonna pull you down, but he's

758
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 2: not gonna elevate. And so the Packers can't feel great

759
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 2: about how they've been playing. They escape against the Texans,

760
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 2: they escape against the Jags, they escape against the Bears.

761
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 2: They obviously lost the Lions in the middle of that.

762
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 2: The Packers to me, are a better team than San Francisco.

763
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 2: They are at home, they're laying less than a field goal.

764
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 2: Matt Lafouri against Shanahan twenty seven to twenty four, green

765
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 2: Bay win, twenty seven to twenty three. Green Bay wins

766
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 2: something like that. Packers are the better team at home

767
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 2: laying less than a field goal. I like green Bay

768
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 2: in the spot, yep.

769
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 3: I like green Bay though, all right? Next one, last

770
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 3: two picks Arizona minus one at Seattle.

771
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, the Cardinals are flying a little under the

772
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: radar right now. What I like about where they're at

773
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 2: is they're coming off a bye while Seattle is coming

774
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 2: off a super emotional kind of theft of a win

775
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 2: against San Francisco. Arizona has won four straight games. They

776
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 2: now play another team who's defense. I don't totally trust

777
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 2: Kyler's playing some of the best football of his career.

778
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 2: Arizona's knows that the Rams are likely coming for him.

779
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 2: They need this game. That The one point I don't

780
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 2: mind laying this is not you know, as long as

781
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 2: a lot of teams that's playing Seattle have to come

782
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 2: cross country, Arizona doesn't. I think Arizona's better. I think

783
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 2: that Seattle is still getting a little too much of

784
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 2: a lumin field bump from the bookmakers. They're one in

785
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 2: five against the spread at home this year eight and

786
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 2: fifteen at home against the spread over the last three years,

787
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 2: which means Vegas still thinks that that's more of a

788
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 2: home field advantage than it actually is. I like Arizona

789
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: to win outright, so laying the one point I obviously

790
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 2: don't mind. So five picks of the week Demanse Tonight

791
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 2: Cleveland getting three and a half at home against Pittsburgh,

792
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 2: Sunday Tampa laying five and a half at the Giants,

793
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 2: Tennessee getting eight at the Texans, Green Bay laying one

794
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 2: and a half at home against the Niners, and Arizona

795
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 2: laying one on the road at Seattle. But this is

796
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 2: the part the whole audience has been waiting for, where

797
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 2: Demandse prints money for everyone. Last week, Demanse had gave

798
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 2: out a teaser that counted for his record and a

799
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 2: super teaser that didn't. The teaser that counted hit because

800
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 2: he did a seven and a half pointer, so he

801
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 2: got Casey all the way to plus ten. So even

802
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 2: though they lost by nine, everybody had Kansas City plus

803
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 2: eight and a half, Demande had him plus ten. That

804
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 2: last point really mattered, so it hits and Pittsburgh won outright.

805
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 2: So plus ten and a half is great Demonse's super

806
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 2: teaser if people are interested, were those two picks plus Seattle,

807
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 2: which one outright but he was getting fourteen. The one

808
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 2: that ruined you was the one I did caution against

809
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 2: to be fair, which was Jacksonville. Because Detroit, you had

810
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 2: Jacksonville plus twenty one. You could have had him plus

811
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 2: forty one. It wouldn't have covered, if that makes you

812
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 2: feel any better. And because they lost fifty two to six,

813
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 2: so that one didn't work. But that one didn't count

814
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 2: for your record. So what are we doing this week?

815
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 3: This week is just a seven points te'eser two teamer.

816
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 3: We're teasing Kansas City against the against the Panthers down

817
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 3: to three and a half, and we're teasing New England

818
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 3: at Miami up to fourteen and a half. Was gonna

819
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 3: do a little half point to get it down to

820
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 3: Kansas City to three in New England up to fifteen.

821
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that they will blow out the Panthers,

822
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 3: unlike you. I don't think they'll like twenty one. But

823
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 3: I could see them beating ten twelve something like that.

824
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's that's the teaser. It's at minus. The

825
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 3: odds aren't on your I think it's like minus one

826
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 3: sixty three.

827
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 2: No, minus one fifty, okay, minus one fifty. So the listen. Obviously,

828
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 2: with the Chiefs, you would love to get it through

829
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: the three I but I I I'm fine with that.

830
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 2: I love the New England side of it because New

831
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 2: England is you know, they let Drake may chuck the

832
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 2: whole game. So even if Miami jumps out to a

833
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,439
Speaker 2: big lead, they are, you know, New England's the back

834
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 2: door covers alive.

835
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 3: Now.

836
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 2: New England historically, in the history of their franchise, they've

837
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 2: only won seventeen times. In Miami, they've played them sixty times,

838
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 2: so that's I don't think New England can win the

839
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 2: game outright, but getting fourteen and a half, yeah, in

840
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 2: a division game against a Dolphins team that just needs

841
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 2: to win that it can't be worried about style points.

842
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 2: And New England's been competitive, They've been at least competitive adjacent.

843
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 2: So I like, I like this one. I'll give you

844
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 2: an a minus. Not that, listen, my grades matter at

845
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 2: this point. I like I like this one a lot.

846
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 2: Thank you for the Okay, thanks, no, listen, you've been rolling.

847
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 2: We've got the Week twelve offer Okay, let's do it.

848
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 3: So Kansas City's obviously going to be Carolina this week,

849
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 3: all right, so if they do will probably be a

850
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 3: bit of a statement. So your offer this week is

851
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 3: going to be Carolina under seven and a half points

852
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,479
Speaker 3: at plus three ninety and my homes to throw zero

853
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 3: interceptions at plus one hundred total parlay value at plus

854
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 3: eight eighty.

855
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 2: I hate to disappoint the audience, but I'm gonna have

856
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 2: to turn this offer down. Holding a team under eighth

857
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 2: is really hard, and like those way higher for that right, Yes,

858
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 2: that's that's how I feel like. I couldn't believe that

859
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 2: it was only plus three to ninety the Panthers now. Listen,

860
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 2: the Panthers twice this year have been held under eight points.

861
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 2: Against the Chargers they scored three and against the Commanders

862
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 2: they scored seven. But they've won two in a row,

863
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 2: they scoring twenty three and twenty bryce playing a little

864
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 2: bit better. So I under thirteen that I think is

865
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 2: totally reasonable, or under fourteen, I should say, under eight

866
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 2: I can't do, so I sadly have to turn the

867
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 2: offer down. Last week, the offer I gave out was

868
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 2: the Travis Kelce touchdown that didn't hit, but I didn't

869
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 2: mind the the process on it because Noah Gray got

870
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 2: two touchdowns. So the idea of the Chiefs were gonna,

871
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 2: you know, get down in the deep red zone and

872
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 2: you find a tight end was correct, but it was

873
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 2: no great for both of them. Instead of Kelsey under

874
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 2: thirteen and a half, they're putting it in there right now.

875
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 2: I think what the plus is if it is under

876
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 2: thirteen and a half and no picks for Mahomes is

877
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,439
Speaker 2: plus three forty eight. All right, I'll take that one.

878
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 2: I'll take that one. I'll take twenty one thirteen Chiefs

879
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 2: kind of boring victory and the Panthers don't get two

880
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 2: touchdowns because the defense gotta be a little pissed about

881
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 2: how the Bills game ended. All right, let me answer something,

882
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 2: take quick break, come back, answer some listener questions. Next,

883
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 2: What's right? Welcome back in What's right? With Nick right, Demanse,

884
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 2: Let's do a few listener questions.

885
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 3: Please, Danny Tanner, any thoughts on the Hall of Fame

886
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 3: semifinalists and who do you think will be chosen this year?

887
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 2: So you guys know, I loved the Hall of Fame

888
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 2: stuff and last year when the semifinalists came out. We

889
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 2: whittled it down to the five who I thought should

890
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 2: make it, and I as I was even shocked by this.

891
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 2: We went five for five. Like I was, that was

892
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 2: like kind of an underrated One of my prouder things

893
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 2: was doing it on the fly. We whittled it from

894
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 2: twenty five to fifteen and fifteen to five. We did

895
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 2: not have Gates making it last year. That was incredibly controversial,

896
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 2: and we went five for five on that. I have

897
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 2: a lot of thoughts on it that I don't want

898
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 2: to rush right here. So at some point in the

899
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 2: next few weeks we'll do a big, long Hall of

900
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 2: Fame segment. I talked on TV yesterday about how I

901
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 2: don't think Eli should be in. We'll spend time on

902
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 2: that because I do think he will get in, but

903
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 2: I don't know that he'll be first ballot. So we'll

904
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 2: do all that, but just not today, all right.

905
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 3: Next, Kevin Marlow Nick of the three AFC West teams.

906
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 3: Which is the most intriguing the battle with the with

907
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 3: the Chiefs for the foreseeable future.

908
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 2: Oh, it's the Chargers. Without question. I like they have

909
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 2: the best coach of the group. They have the best

910
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 2: quarterback of the group. They have built. They're building through

911
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 2: the draft. No, the Chargers are coming. If they're not

912
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 2: already here, they're coming. So that'll be a that'll be

913
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 2: a hell of a battle.

914
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 3: Next Lamar Jackson. Nick, He says, thanks for watching Lamar Jackson.

915
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, Nick, if you Brew, Wilds and de Bond's

916
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 3: they were on a seven on seven football team, what

917
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:39,919
Speaker 3: would your positions be?

918
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 2: So I think Brew probably has to be all time

919
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 2: quarterback because he's not going to be moving all that

920
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: well because he's an old guy. So I think he

921
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 2: like he's got to be the quarterback. And then in

922
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:02,439
Speaker 2: seven on seven, isn't it everyone else just a receiver? Yeah,

923
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 2: Like I don't really know. I I would.

924
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 3: I do think there's a sinner for some reason. Actually, no,

925
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 3: you gotta start of the quarterback might start off. I would.

926
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 2: I would make myself and demands the wide receivers. Wild's

927
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 2: the running back and Brew the quarterback. That's That's how

928
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 2: I would do it. Like Wild is sneaky really strong,

929
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Like Wild is sneaky jacked. Yeah, for real, I I

930
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 2: I know it's it's It was as surprising to me

931
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,439
Speaker 2: as anybody the first time I knew it. But but yeah,

932
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 2: Wild's in like Wild bikes a ton and lifts weights

933
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 2: I think every single day, So I think he would

934
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 2: be a good running back. You have the height and

935
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 2: the leaping ability for wide receiver, and I'd be a

936
01:00:56,040 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 2: Lad mcconkee possession receiver type, real great hand. Not gonna

937
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 2: really stretch the field on you these days, but yeah,

938
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 2: and bruis the quarterback, so that's how we'll do it

939
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 2: all right, Next we got.

940
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 3: A robber eighty four. I understand your skepticism of Nicks,

941
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 3: but are you showing growth already, especially without great receivers?

942
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 3: What do you think his ceiling is? Party great with avengers,

943
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 3: but won't be one himself yet.

944
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 2: Listen, I'm gonna my priors on bow Knicks are too

945
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 2: strong to move off after ten games. I mean the guy.

946
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 2: The age part of bo Nicks cannot be underplayed as

947
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 2: far as how much better is he going to get?

948
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 2: Bow Knicks is two and a half years older than

949
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson. He's three months younger than Trevor Lawrence. He

950
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 2: turns twenty five at the when the Super Bowl happens,

951
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,919
Speaker 2: So I he as Sean Payton sixty games of College Star.

952
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 2: So I just think he's close to a finished product.

953
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 2: So I don't see this like upward trajectory. I think

954
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 2: he came in close to who he's going to be

955
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 2: and he's gonna maintain. So I think serviceable is who

956
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 2: he's going to be. I know people get annoyed by

957
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 2: that and listen if he I'm open minded to being wrong,

958
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 2: but I don't think I'm gonna be wrong. I think

959
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 2: like Derek Carr is his ceiling, like not current Derek Carr,

960
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 2: but peak Derek Carr is to me, to me, that's

961
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 2: his ceiling. All right, demonse, great job today, Appreciate the audience.
