WEBVTT - Week 10 Matchups, Josh Allen Injury, Packers Problems, Saturday Debut, and Over/Unders 0:00:04.299 --> 0:00:06.659 NFL. Game Debut is a production of the NFL in 0:00:06.739 --> 0:00:15.539 partnership with I Heart Radio. Well, they're still getting their 0:00:15.539 --> 0:00:18.539 heads around American football. Over here in Munich. Everyone keeps 0:00:18.539 --> 0:00:22.219 telling me Jeff Saturday is coaching the Cold I'd be 0:00:22.259 --> 0:00:25.739 shocked as well, Oh my god, what tell me? Why? 0:00:25.739 --> 0:00:28.499 Why I am a candidate? You would consider any in 0:00:28.539 --> 0:00:32.339 any role to do this? Well, I'm over here in Germany, 0:00:32.499 --> 0:00:35.139 resume handy to see if the Bucks and Seahawks need 0:00:35.179 --> 0:00:38.259 any help before they kick things off internationally in week ten, 0:00:38.859 --> 0:00:41.299 and according to my sources, Greg was in line to 0:00:41.299 --> 0:00:44.619 become the Lions new defensive backs coach. That is until 0:00:44.619 --> 0:00:48.899 he switched and picked against the Lions on air last week. 0:00:49.139 --> 0:00:55.019 I'm not letting you have a prime number. Stop it switching, oh, Greg. 0:00:56.659 --> 0:01:06.099 Game Debut, presented by Mercedes Benz, starts everybody. Welcome to 0:01:06.179 --> 0:01:09.019 Game Dave You Week ten edition. Patrick Laban here with 0:01:09.059 --> 0:01:13.419 Greg Rosenthal and Cynthia Freeland. The Lions pick situation didn't 0:01:13.419 --> 0:01:15.379 work out for Greg, but we got more games. We 0:01:15.459 --> 0:01:17.819 got more games. We are without our fearless leader and 0:01:17.819 --> 0:01:22.379 global traveler, Rachel Vanetta, who is in Germany still taking 0:01:22.379 --> 0:01:26.299 shots at you, Greg, still humbling me from across the ocean. 0:01:26.379 --> 0:01:29.939 That's just like how the way every week's going to start? Now? Well, um, 0:01:30.219 --> 0:01:32.499 it gets better. It's your own fault. Actually, I know, 0:01:32.659 --> 0:01:35.739 I it's your fault. You didn't pick your lions. You should. 0:01:35.779 --> 0:01:38.579 I'm giving you a straight to blaming Cynthia for your 0:01:38.619 --> 0:01:42.419 own freath but changed during the show. Actually it's all 0:01:42.459 --> 0:01:48.139 my fault. You're right, Rachel, we we miss you. We 0:01:48.179 --> 0:01:50.619 do have your picks here, We've got them stored digitally, 0:01:50.899 --> 0:01:53.619 so you're on the show too. Speaking of picks, I'm 0:01:53.619 --> 0:01:57.539 a humble man normally, but this chair, this chair is 0:01:57.619 --> 0:02:00.499 my source of power. I want to talk about me 0:02:00.579 --> 0:02:03.779 and how I have a commanding one game lead over 0:02:03.819 --> 0:02:06.059 Cynthia Freeland. I feel like the T one thousand is 0:02:06.139 --> 0:02:09.379 chasing me. I don't like this. When does it where 0:02:09.419 --> 0:02:12.139 I fall apart? Every year? It's a it's a tight race. Though. 0:02:12.179 --> 0:02:15.259 This is a big week, your two games behind two. 0:02:15.419 --> 0:02:18.419 It's coming, it's coming. I mean, look, it's it's going 0:02:18.459 --> 0:02:20.739 to be interesting. I'm still, you know, actually wallowing my 0:02:20.779 --> 0:02:22.899 apology to make sure that I've apologized enough to you 0:02:22.939 --> 0:02:26.619 for forcing you to switch your PI. Still still waiting 0:02:26.779 --> 0:02:30.139 on the apology from very mean Cynthia freeing first and 0:02:30.459 --> 0:02:33.379 back to Cynthia is a bully. That's right. We've got 0:02:33.379 --> 0:02:37.179 to address the most influential news story regarding outcomes of 0:02:37.219 --> 0:02:39.899 this football season, and that's the injury to Josh Allen's 0:02:40.139 --> 0:02:43.099 throwing elbow. According to Bill's head coach Sean McDermott, Josh 0:02:43.099 --> 0:02:46.019 Allen is our to hour, so that really elevates the 0:02:46.019 --> 0:02:50.259 injury designation game. He heard his elbow late in Week nine, 0:02:50.459 --> 0:02:53.739 and I gotta be honest, this makes picking this game 0:02:54.179 --> 0:02:57.819 extremely difficult. Not knowing who the starting quarterback is has 0:02:57.859 --> 0:03:01.059 an impact, especially when the starting quarterback is that man 0:03:01.219 --> 0:03:05.779 who's the entire offense. So Cynthia tell about the game, Well, look, 0:03:06.299 --> 0:03:08.619 until I hear that he's not playing, I'm going to 0:03:08.699 --> 0:03:11.539 assume that he's playing. And Josh Allen last week showed 0:03:11.579 --> 0:03:13.659 us that his legs were really, really valuable. And then 0:03:13.699 --> 0:03:15.539 I know about case keenom too, and I know about 0:03:15.539 --> 0:03:17.499 the fact that they also know that they need to 0:03:17.539 --> 0:03:19.819 keep him from pressure as way, So I'm not adjusting anything. 0:03:19.819 --> 0:03:21.139 I have to be here at two thirty in the morning. 0:03:21.139 --> 0:03:22.779 I can adjust it. Then if we hear anything new 0:03:22.939 --> 0:03:26.779 I'm going to twenty in favor of the Bills. I 0:03:26.819 --> 0:03:29.419 do actually want to talk about t. J. Hockinson because 0:03:29.459 --> 0:03:31.459 I want to talk about the fact that there is 0:03:31.499 --> 0:03:34.459 no you know, Jordan players already out. Perhaps Matt Mulana 0:03:34.539 --> 0:03:36.419 is not there. We know there's no Mica Hyde. We 0:03:36.499 --> 0:03:39.699 saw how they're going to potentially use t. J. Hockenson, 0:03:39.859 --> 0:03:41.579 and I think that's going to be valuable, as I 0:03:41.619 --> 0:03:45.419 do believe that Leslie Fraser is gonna let a situation 0:03:45.419 --> 0:03:48.299 where Justin Jefferson runs all over this defense happened, So 0:03:48.339 --> 0:03:50.619 if you're looking for a fun fantasy pickup, this could 0:03:50.659 --> 0:03:52.859 be the one. I and and look, I still have 0:03:52.899 --> 0:03:54.939 a pretty big win for the Bills, which means they're 0:03:54.939 --> 0:03:57.139 going to have to stay throwing late into the fourth quarter, 0:03:57.379 --> 0:04:00.619 all right. Also, Rachel has a tight one in this one, 0:04:00.659 --> 0:04:05.099 but the Bills winning four. Cynthia has some confidence in 0:04:05.139 --> 0:04:10.139 the Bill's defense stopping Justin Jefferson. I don't necessarily feel 0:04:10.219 --> 0:04:13.419 the same way. Let's gaze upon the numerals and what 0:04:13.539 --> 0:04:16.459 Justin Jefferson has done, also what this Bill's defense has 0:04:16.499 --> 0:04:18.659 done in the past few weeks on passes of ten 0:04:18.739 --> 0:04:21.179 or more are yards with this banged up Bills secondary. 0:04:21.179 --> 0:04:23.259 They've given up a passer rating of a hundred and 0:04:23.259 --> 0:04:26.099 five since Week six. That's the number one past defense 0:04:26.099 --> 0:04:29.659 in the world. Seeing a significant decline as injuries, especially 0:04:29.699 --> 0:04:32.059 the one that Jordan Poor piled up on those types 0:04:32.099 --> 0:04:36.059 of passes. Justin Jefferson leading the league's in yards over expectation. 0:04:36.299 --> 0:04:38.659 The Bills have also played more man as the season 0:04:38.699 --> 0:04:41.419 has gotten later. Justin Jefferson, the number one wilde receiver 0:04:41.539 --> 0:04:43.739 in the NFL. I gets the man coverage and all 0:04:43.819 --> 0:04:46.859 his numbers are good. The numbers are good because he's good. 0:04:47.179 --> 0:04:49.539 I'm saying he's not good. I didn't say he's not good, 0:04:50.219 --> 0:04:53.339 he's very good. That's not enough for me to pick 0:04:54.099 --> 0:04:58.499 the Vikings, though I do have them having a few points. 0:04:58.499 --> 0:05:03.339 But this is a win by the Buffalo Bills to three. Yeah, 0:05:03.539 --> 0:05:06.219 I have a similar the margin because you know, we're 0:05:06.259 --> 0:05:08.779 thinking that that Josh Allen may or may not play. 0:05:08.819 --> 0:05:10.699 But that number at the bottom of your screen where 0:05:10.699 --> 0:05:13.019 the Bills are only three point favorites, to me, that 0:05:13.099 --> 0:05:17.339 indicates that maybe case Keenum is playing, or that number 0:05:17.379 --> 0:05:19.979 is sort of assuming he's playing. And I think another 0:05:20.019 --> 0:05:22.019 reason why is because this Vikings offense can do a 0:05:22.059 --> 0:05:25.219 lot on the ground, getting the ball to the outside. Yes, 0:05:25.259 --> 0:05:27.339 I'm picking Buffalo because I think their defense will be 0:05:27.339 --> 0:05:29.099 good enough. But if you saw what the Jets did 0:05:29.459 --> 0:05:33.979 a week ago, especially getting the Bills secondary into the 0:05:34.059 --> 0:05:37.179 running game is a key factor here. You mentioned Matt Milano. 0:05:37.299 --> 0:05:40.659 He might play, but Tremaine Edmonds is gonna miss this game. 0:05:40.899 --> 0:05:43.859 Greg Russou is out for the Bills. They're a little shorthanded, 0:05:43.979 --> 0:05:46.379 and I thought their safeties and their cornerbacks, when you 0:05:46.419 --> 0:05:48.899 get them involved and needing to tackle, you can make 0:05:48.939 --> 0:05:52.299 some big place with Dalvin Cook Alexander Madison. Think they'll 0:05:52.339 --> 0:05:54.459 be fine. I think it's funny we all like chose 0:05:54.499 --> 0:05:56.299 to talk about something Viking because we didn't know what 0:05:56.339 --> 0:05:59.859 to think about the building. There's so many good things 0:05:59.899 --> 0:06:02.939 about I mean, we have so many good things say 0:06:02.939 --> 0:06:04.699 about Buffalo, but we all were like, oh, will be nice. 0:06:04.739 --> 0:06:09.139 We're concerned about the mechanized thrower of footballs who dominates 0:06:09.179 --> 0:06:11.659 everything he plays. We feel a lot better on the 0:06:11.739 --> 0:06:14.259 other side of Kirk Cousins two and seventeen in games 0:06:14.259 --> 0:06:17.259 where the opponent is four games over five, which feels unfair, 0:06:17.299 --> 0:06:20.259 but it's always Kirk getting that comparison, because that's a 0:06:20.299 --> 0:06:23.179 tough game for anybody. But he's like makeup brand new 0:06:23.219 --> 0:06:25.499 stats just to make Kirk look bad. At this point, 0:06:25.659 --> 0:06:28.099 We're with you, Kirk. We put you shirtless on TV 0:06:28.219 --> 0:06:30.499 a lot this week. That could be a case Kingdom 0:06:30.539 --> 0:06:33.059 revenge game in Buffalo. It is also a revenge game 0:06:33.099 --> 0:06:35.139 if you haven't heard. In Green Bag, Mike McCarthy spent 0:06:35.219 --> 0:06:38.299 thirteen seasons with the Packers, the second most wins in 0:06:38.419 --> 0:06:46.019 franchise history behind some guy named Lambeau So revenge game 0:06:46.499 --> 0:06:49.459 in lambeau Field. The Cowboys are favorite by four and 0:06:49.499 --> 0:06:51.859 a half points. How do you feel, Mr Rose, I 0:06:51.899 --> 0:06:54.459 feel like that's not enough that the Cowboys will win 0:06:54.579 --> 0:06:57.779 by ten points because we know about the defense. But 0:06:57.859 --> 0:07:01.139 the offense showed me something before that bye week when 0:07:01.179 --> 0:07:04.579 they started using Dak Prescott a little more in the running. 0:07:04.779 --> 0:07:07.259 This was just a site for sore eyes, wasn't it. Patrick. 0:07:07.379 --> 0:07:12.499 It's like, we're confident enough to call some designed runs 0:07:12.539 --> 0:07:15.499 for Dak Prescott. We know he can uh get a 0:07:15.579 --> 0:07:17.739 third and one, we know he can do a zone read, 0:07:17.779 --> 0:07:21.299 but he's also feeling comfortable enough to scramble and oh, 0:07:21.339 --> 0:07:23.899 by the way. This Cowboys offensive line, which everyone told 0:07:23.939 --> 0:07:26.099 me was gonna be a problem this year, is awesome 0:07:26.499 --> 0:07:29.219 run blocking. And there's a drive every week that the 0:07:29.259 --> 0:07:32.019 Packers defense just cannot get off the field that lasts 0:07:32.019 --> 0:07:34.339 about eight or nine minutes. It takes the soul out 0:07:34.419 --> 0:07:36.259 of all those fans and Lambeau and I think that 0:07:36.379 --> 0:07:39.739 drive happens this week for the Cowboys. Just one. Okay, look, 0:07:39.739 --> 0:07:41.859 I'm with Rachel. Actually in terms of the margin, I 0:07:41.939 --> 0:07:43.939 have a seven point victory as well. I have twenty 0:07:43.979 --> 0:07:46.739 six to nineteen in this matchup. I really just want 0:07:46.779 --> 0:07:49.859 to talk about the front for the defensive situation for 0:07:49.899 --> 0:07:53.099 the Cowboys. This is the number one pressure percentage. This 0:07:53.179 --> 0:07:55.659 is a situation where, oh, I don't know if you're 0:07:55.659 --> 0:07:57.939 just gonna have a problem in any direction. And the 0:07:58.099 --> 0:08:01.259 Packers old line has really been letting Aaron Rodgers down. 0:08:01.259 --> 0:08:04.699 He's under considerably more pressure. Now it's different pressure, like 0:08:04.699 --> 0:08:06.659 if you look at the exact number, because Aaron Rodger 0:08:06.699 --> 0:08:08.979 scrambles quite a bit. But if you talk about those 0:08:09.219 --> 0:08:12.139 the types of pressure that turns into sacks and see 0:08:12.219 --> 0:08:14.619 Michael Parsons like that's that's what he does. So this 0:08:14.699 --> 0:08:17.019 is gonna be a tough situation for an old line 0:08:17.019 --> 0:08:19.299 that's been dicey and is Aaron Jones gonna play? There's 0:08:19.299 --> 0:08:20.859 a lot of question marks for the Packers here, So 0:08:21.219 --> 0:08:25.379 nice touchdown win for the Dallas Cowboys almost other Packers, 0:08:25.419 --> 0:08:30.059 but it's just picking against them everything, and honestly that 0:08:30.059 --> 0:08:32.339 that plays a factor and how I'm picking this game 0:08:32.619 --> 0:08:35.259 as well. But we start off and looking at what 0:08:35.339 --> 0:08:38.339 this defense is up against, and that is Dak Prescott. 0:08:38.339 --> 0:08:42.539 And since Dark Prescott returned to the field in Week seven, 0:08:42.539 --> 0:08:46.499 he's got one incompletion against the Blitz, literally one. This 0:08:46.619 --> 0:08:49.659 passer rating is pie in the sky. We don't know 0:08:49.659 --> 0:08:52.019 a lot about passer rating. It's tough to explain, but 0:08:52.099 --> 0:08:54.499 it's the best in the NFL against the Blitz. The 0:08:54.499 --> 0:08:56.979 Packers defense has been blitz happy, maybe to cover up 0:08:56.979 --> 0:09:00.019 some insufficiencies all season, but they're blitzing at the second 0:09:00.139 --> 0:09:04.779 highest rate in the NFL. John to these results like 0:09:05.099 --> 0:09:09.179 this is happening week after week. Uh, the Packers offense 0:09:09.219 --> 0:09:12.499 is some sort of torture device. At this moment, despite 0:09:12.499 --> 0:09:14.939 all those things, I'm still only taking the Cowboys by 0:09:14.979 --> 0:09:18.419 three points because I can't. I can't quit, Aaron. I 0:09:18.499 --> 0:09:21.459 just can't do it. He's been through a lot. Maybe 0:09:21.459 --> 0:09:26.379 twelve will consult his various means of dealing with things, 0:09:26.379 --> 0:09:30.379 some astrological implements. We also want commentary on Geno Smith, 0:09:30.499 --> 0:09:32.579 who is an m v P candidate, but he can't 0:09:32.579 --> 0:09:35.779 get favored in Munich against the Bucks. Were favor about 0:09:35.779 --> 0:09:37.019 two and a half. That are we doing great? The 0:09:37.059 --> 0:09:39.299 Bucks have been favored every week this year and they 0:09:39.299 --> 0:09:41.219 have a losing record, and they're gonna lose again to 0:09:41.299 --> 0:09:43.579 this Buccaneers team. And I'm not gonna talk I mean 0:09:43.579 --> 0:09:45.859 again against the Seas team. I'm not gonna talk about 0:09:45.899 --> 0:09:48.179 Geno Smith. I'm gonna talk about the Buccaneers defense. And 0:09:48.219 --> 0:09:51.059 I'm gonna do that by showing you a play from 0:09:51.099 --> 0:09:53.299 week four. And you might be asking me, why are 0:09:53.299 --> 0:09:56.619 we watching a Patrick Mahomes play? Why are we watching 0:09:56.659 --> 0:10:01.859 Patrick maho That was the last time the Buccaneers forced 0:10:01.859 --> 0:10:04.859 to turnover? Can we make a play? Can we make 0:10:04.899 --> 0:10:08.219 a play? Todd Bowls like that. Their whole defensive structure 0:10:08.379 --> 0:10:09.899 is supposed to be that we stopped the run and 0:10:09.899 --> 0:10:11.939 then we're gonna blitz and we're gonna make big plays. 0:10:12.019 --> 0:10:14.459 And they've got great players, and yet they don't make 0:10:14.499 --> 0:10:16.699 any big plays. And now they're going up against Gino 0:10:16.779 --> 0:10:19.659 Smith who doesn't let the opponent make any big plays. 0:10:19.659 --> 0:10:21.659 Don't don't think about that pick six last week. Just 0:10:21.739 --> 0:10:25.499 ignore that ever happen. He's been making great decisions under pressure. 0:10:25.619 --> 0:10:28.019 He's been making great decisions against the Blitz and when 0:10:28.019 --> 0:10:31.219 he showed disguise coverages because he's a quarterback that wins 0:10:31.219 --> 0:10:34.699 from the neck up Cynthia, not just Tom Brady. He's 0:10:34.739 --> 0:10:40.459 kind of like a mini Tom Brady, but he's younger, younger. 0:10:40.619 --> 0:10:42.379 I don't know how Geno it feels about that one. 0:10:42.419 --> 0:10:45.579 But you know who does force turnovers? Greg, You know 0:10:45.659 --> 0:10:48.899 a team that's in Munich that gets turnovers? That would 0:10:48.939 --> 0:10:55.059 be Yeah, they do it. In fact, they do it 0:10:55.099 --> 0:10:57.619 to to a very high extent. They are top ten 0:10:58.099 --> 0:11:03.179 enforcing turnovers in two the season long Seahawks defensive stats 0:11:03.459 --> 0:11:06.539 are lying to you. Yes, it's the same team, but 0:11:06.619 --> 0:11:08.539 this group that's on the four game win streak, they 0:11:08.579 --> 0:11:12.219 haven't seen an opponent scored twenty four points during that streak. 0:11:12.299 --> 0:11:14.499 They're playing a team that hasn't scored twenty four points 0:11:14.499 --> 0:11:16.899 since Week four. The Seahawks taking a ball the way 0:11:16.899 --> 0:11:19.019 to a top ten extent against the team that while 0:11:19.019 --> 0:11:21.299 they haven't scored, they haven't really been turning the ball over. 0:11:21.459 --> 0:11:25.379 How risky is Tom want to make this situation against 0:11:26.059 --> 0:11:29.099 Geno Smith in the Seattle Seahawks. I don't know. I 0:11:29.099 --> 0:11:31.179 don't know. I want interested to see Tarik Woolan and 0:11:31.259 --> 0:11:33.899 Mike Evans the physicality match up there. I've got the 0:11:33.939 --> 0:11:38.579 Seahawks winning this one in Munich, three of us on 0:11:38.579 --> 0:11:41.939 the underdogs. There we go in meme alert here and 0:11:41.979 --> 0:11:44.739 this is where I gained that that game back on you, 0:11:45.379 --> 0:11:48.299 and actually it's it's twenty three to twenty two. Your 0:11:48.339 --> 0:11:51.379 twenty four, Your notes about twenty four points, they all 0:11:51.459 --> 0:11:53.779 hold true because it's only twenty three to twenty two 0:11:54.179 --> 0:11:56.859 in this matchup. I want to talk about Leonard Fournette though, 0:11:56.859 --> 0:11:58.859 because that's going to be the key in this matchup. 0:11:58.859 --> 0:12:01.339 We talk about weird tendencies, and I say weird tendencies 0:12:01.339 --> 0:12:04.099 meeting things that haven't worked, that they haven't solved. Right, 0:12:04.299 --> 0:12:06.499 something stops working, you got to change it up otherwise, 0:12:06.699 --> 0:12:09.379 something about definition of you know, in sanity, etcetera. But 0:12:09.419 --> 0:12:11.419 I think when you look at Leonard four Nett and 0:12:11.419 --> 0:12:13.419 how they're using him it's outside runs, and that's an 0:12:13.419 --> 0:12:15.419 area where there it is where we go. We got 0:12:15.419 --> 0:12:17.219 it a bit more of an outside run that will 0:12:17.259 --> 0:12:19.379 be a source of success in this one. I don't 0:12:19.419 --> 0:12:21.379 think I want to get into a situation where Tom 0:12:21.379 --> 0:12:23.739 Brady's throwing deep and those young corners have a chance 0:12:23.739 --> 0:12:25.619 to do anything nuts. I think I want to try 0:12:25.619 --> 0:12:27.819 to keep it on the ground, keep it nice and steady, 0:12:28.019 --> 0:12:29.939 don't turn them, don't put in a situation to turn 0:12:29.939 --> 0:12:32.139 the ball over. You know, twenty three points. There you go. 0:12:32.219 --> 0:12:34.659 I know how you like talk to NFL teams and stuff. Yeah, 0:12:34.939 --> 0:12:36.619 you should call up your friends and bucks tell him. 0:12:36.659 --> 0:12:40.259 Just give it to Lenny four Nette as a seahawk. Todd, Now, 0:12:40.579 --> 0:12:43.099 hold on, I'm fine with that. I got the international 0:12:43.179 --> 0:12:46.019 rate out here we go, Todd. It's Cynthia use Leonard 0:12:46.059 --> 0:12:50.459 Fournett and perhaps one of the more concerning things said 0:12:50.459 --> 0:12:53.659 about Tom Brady all season, Cynthia Freeland saying we'll keep 0:12:53.699 --> 0:12:56.179 Tom from throwing deep. No, I'm saying no, you know, 0:12:56.259 --> 0:12:58.659 I'm not saying keep him from doing him saying whatever 0:13:00.139 --> 0:13:03.939 we get every single segment, it is time for the 0:13:04.259 --> 0:13:08.619 rived to excellence. Presented by Mercedes Bins the Los Angeles 0:13:08.699 --> 0:13:11.619 Rams are favored by three points. That's information that's readily 0:13:11.619 --> 0:13:15.259 available to you against the Arizona Cardinals. The real information 0:13:15.739 --> 0:13:18.579 is the man to my left has not been wrong 0:13:18.699 --> 0:13:22.419 about the Rams since Week one. Yeah, and I'm gonna 0:13:22.539 --> 0:13:25.059 keep that street going with a surprising pick. I'm gonna 0:13:25.059 --> 0:13:27.059 take the Rams to win this game. I know the 0:13:27.139 --> 0:13:30.259 quarterback situation is up in the air for both teams, 0:13:30.259 --> 0:13:32.419 but even if John Wolford is out there doesn't matter 0:13:32.459 --> 0:13:35.939 because the Rams defense will be out there. Jalen Ramsey 0:13:36.099 --> 0:13:38.859 was fired up after that Buck's loss, and he was 0:13:38.899 --> 0:13:41.659 still fired up on Friday saying how well they're playing. 0:13:41.779 --> 0:13:43.379 I'm not a man to doubt him. And if if 0:13:43.379 --> 0:13:45.699 he wants to think about good times for the Rams, 0:13:45.739 --> 0:13:48.259 just think back to that playoff game when they only 0:13:48.299 --> 0:13:51.379 gave up twelve points. Just think back to Week three 0:13:51.419 --> 0:13:54.819 when they didn't give up a single touchdown against Kyler Murray. 0:13:54.899 --> 0:13:57.739 This defense for the Rams is still healthy enough, It's 0:13:57.739 --> 0:14:00.379 still got Jalen Ramsey, still got Aaron Donald. So you 0:14:00.419 --> 0:14:04.019 can play Bryce Hopkins at quarterback, you can play Wolford. 0:14:04.019 --> 0:14:08.539 It doesn't matter. Rams are winning. Okay, Um, well, you're 0:14:09.259 --> 0:14:13.779 feel that confident. But if I say it confidently, it'll happen. Okay, great, Well, 0:14:14.099 --> 0:14:18.419 I'm taking the Cardinals two in this matchup. And because 0:14:18.579 --> 0:14:20.379 even though they have Aaron Donald, who I think is 0:14:20.819 --> 0:14:23.219 there's no better defensive player, maybe even player at his 0:14:23.219 --> 0:14:25.499 position at this year. And then I will never take 0:14:25.499 --> 0:14:28.059 that away. But they're not getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks. 0:14:28.059 --> 0:14:30.699 And Kyler Murray when you don't have him under pressure, 0:14:31.339 --> 0:14:33.499 look out. Not only could he run for all of 0:14:33.539 --> 0:14:35.379 the yards, but now that he's got all of his 0:14:35.499 --> 0:14:37.659 more of his weapons back, And of course DeAndre Hopkin 0:14:37.739 --> 0:14:41.379 makes a big difference, but realistically it has come down 0:14:41.419 --> 0:14:44.179 to Kyler Murray and when he has just a little 0:14:44.379 --> 0:14:48.539 smidge more time, it's really difficult for opposing defenses. And 0:14:48.539 --> 0:14:50.739 as much as I admire Jalen Ramsey and I love 0:14:50.739 --> 0:14:53.539 how fired up he is, he can't be everywhere. You know, 0:14:53.659 --> 0:14:55.619 like they could throw it away from him to the 0:14:55.619 --> 0:14:58.179 other side, maybe Zach or stay away from Jalen Ramsey. 0:14:58.259 --> 0:15:00.619 You do worry if if Kyler plays, is he going 0:15:00.659 --> 0:15:03.259 to run as much? Yeah? Dealing with the hamstring injury 0:15:03.299 --> 0:15:05.979 is another thing. And Cynthia mentioned the fact that Jalen 0:15:06.099 --> 0:15:08.499 Ramsey is there and he could travel with New Copkins, 0:15:08.499 --> 0:15:10.259 and I think that's the biggest part of this game, 0:15:10.659 --> 0:15:13.139 aside from the fact that we aren't sure if it's 0:15:13.139 --> 0:15:17.099 gonna be Kyler or Matthew Stafford. But since New Hopkins arrived, 0:15:17.579 --> 0:15:19.899 he is playing some of the best football he has 0:15:20.339 --> 0:15:22.339 in his career. He's been one of the best wide 0:15:22.379 --> 0:15:25.339 receivers in the NFL. I think number two in terms 0:15:25.419 --> 0:15:29.499 of yardage since he got back from his suspension. And 0:15:30.019 --> 0:15:32.899 if it's Kyler, if it's not Kyler, no matter how 0:15:32.939 --> 0:15:36.499 things go. Throughout his history, DeAndre Hopkins has carried teams 0:15:36.499 --> 0:15:39.699 with bad quarterbacks. He's one of the shining spots on 0:15:39.739 --> 0:15:42.499 this Cardinals roster that the only reason is there is 0:15:42.499 --> 0:15:45.219 because of a donation from Bill O'Brien. In terms of talent, 0:15:45.499 --> 0:15:47.979 it's New Hopkins. I think it's a twenty three to 0:15:48.139 --> 0:15:53.739 eight win, and it's it's just Greg almost you know 0:15:53.939 --> 0:15:55.939 ls my daughter, don't tell don't tell me. I don't 0:15:55.979 --> 0:15:58.179 love you. And I picked the Rams this week. They're 0:15:58.179 --> 0:16:00.619 gonna do it because of my pick. They're gonna just 0:16:00.779 --> 0:16:04.219 made it worse. I made it worse because no to 0:16:04.299 --> 0:16:09.179 say you don't say anything for you Greg believes in 0:16:09.219 --> 0:16:12.579 the Ramps, that believes that this this situation is going 0:16:12.619 --> 0:16:14.939 to be true elsewhere in the division. The forty Niners 0:16:14.979 --> 0:16:17.499 playing host to the Chargers. And here's a fun note 0:16:17.499 --> 0:16:21.099 about Kyle Shanahan's team. They hit the over three of 0:16:21.179 --> 0:16:24.899 the past four weeks. It's all points for the San 0:16:24.939 --> 0:16:32.819 Francisco forty Niners fifty two total sixty seven against the Chiefs. 0:16:32.619 --> 0:16:34.739 That's all that. All that being said, let's start with 0:16:34.819 --> 0:16:38.339 Rachel's pick. She's got a point bonanza thirty Niners and 0:16:38.379 --> 0:16:40.899 I agreed, lots of points though not that many though 0:16:41.619 --> 0:16:43.659 to nineteen and I think we have to start with 0:16:43.659 --> 0:16:46.059 this Chargers team, who some people aren't expecting a lot 0:16:46.099 --> 0:16:49.099 of points from. Look back at this game against the 0:16:49.139 --> 0:16:54.179 Atlanta Falcons, and there was a plethora of drops opportunities 0:16:54.339 --> 0:16:57.299 that just went arrived for the Chargers. But whether it 0:16:57.379 --> 0:17:00.339 was Gerald Everett, Austin Ekeler had a bad drop, Josh 0:17:00.339 --> 0:17:03.219 Palmer had this drop that was an interception, there were 0:17:03.219 --> 0:17:06.899 more points available for the Charges that they just didn't get. 0:17:07.019 --> 0:17:11.219 I don't have them winning the game, but twenty to nineteen, well, 0:17:11.339 --> 0:17:14.379 I have the Niners winning as well. I have twenty 0:17:14.459 --> 0:17:17.699 six to eighteen in this matchup. I think that it's 0:17:17.739 --> 0:17:20.299 an interesting like that we're we're kind of together here 0:17:20.379 --> 0:17:22.379 that you know, the Chargers not gonna hold up their 0:17:22.459 --> 0:17:24.019 end of the bargain in terms of scoring enough points 0:17:24.019 --> 0:17:26.339 because no one's available. So Keenan Allen already out, Mike 0:17:26.379 --> 0:17:28.939 Williams again, already out. But Austin Neckler has been a 0:17:28.979 --> 0:17:30.579 bright spot, and it's kind of fun to see these 0:17:30.619 --> 0:17:34.299 two Markee running backs going up against each other. Austin 0:17:34.299 --> 0:17:36.379 Neckler has scored all of the touchdowns in the last 0:17:36.379 --> 0:17:38.379 five weeks. He has been their entire offense. He's like 0:17:38.579 --> 0:17:41.179 the heart and the soul of everything that's going on. 0:17:41.259 --> 0:17:44.059 And unfortunately, you know, when you're facing this type of 0:17:44.099 --> 0:17:47.299 defense in the Niners, it's just a lot harder. It's 0:17:47.339 --> 0:17:49.099 a lot harder to have the kind of success that 0:17:49.139 --> 0:17:51.179 we've seen Eckler have. I do think he's still gonna 0:17:51.219 --> 0:17:52.859 have a good day. If you're playing him in fantasy. 0:17:52.899 --> 0:17:55.059 You're definitely not sick, You're not doing anything crazy like that, 0:17:55.299 --> 0:17:57.059 but it's just gonna be a lot harder. It would 0:17:57.059 --> 0:17:59.179 be nice if they had, you know, one of their 0:17:59.219 --> 0:18:03.219 main wide receivers, even one would be great, Keenan Allen. 0:18:03.259 --> 0:18:05.779 Injury has has us them. It's crazy. The Charges are 0:18:05.819 --> 0:18:07.619 that big of an underdog and none of us are 0:18:07.659 --> 0:18:10.779 taking them. To keep it close. I have the winning 0:18:11.779 --> 0:18:15.339 to seventeen Kyle Shanahan, and yes we're getting that mean Milert. 0:18:15.339 --> 0:18:18.299 Don't let us down. Kyle was worried about the running 0:18:18.339 --> 0:18:20.579 game a few weeks ago, and so what did he do. 0:18:20.739 --> 0:18:23.939 He traded for Christian McCaffrey. That'll improve your running game. 0:18:24.059 --> 0:18:26.779 And what does he get this week? Eli Eli Mitchell 0:18:26.859 --> 0:18:30.139 coming back, Lisia Mitchell and Eliza Mitchell is a special 0:18:30.219 --> 0:18:33.019 running back. He is now maybe the best backup running 0:18:33.019 --> 0:18:35.179 back in the entire league. And you know it also 0:18:35.299 --> 0:18:37.379 helps your running game look a little better. What's up 0:18:37.419 --> 0:18:40.699 playing the Chargers? It was like the number one thing 0:18:40.739 --> 0:18:43.019 they said they were gonna fix. They haven't fixed it. 0:18:43.059 --> 0:18:46.539 They're dead last in the league in yards per carry alloud. Yes, Cynthia, 0:18:46.619 --> 0:18:48.739 I'm just waiting for what you're gonna say next. Why, 0:18:49.059 --> 0:18:51.659 I don't know. I just I feel like this is 0:18:51.699 --> 0:18:54.739 a trap. I'm not saying anything. I'm They're gonna run. Well, 0:18:54.819 --> 0:18:58.139 it's it's another meme alert. So so take those screenshots people, 0:18:58.139 --> 0:19:02.499 we get really angry. Don't screenshot our alerts. We literally 0:19:02.499 --> 0:19:06.699 put me alert when we come back on here game debut, 0:19:06.779 --> 0:19:09.699 Jeff Saturday once famously recovered a fumble, so here he 0:19:09.859 --> 0:19:12.179 is to save a fumbled season in Indie? How much 0:19:12.179 --> 0:19:27.979 do we believe in the Colts? Next? Looking forward to 0:19:28.019 --> 0:19:31.459 the league's debut in Germany, but looking back over here 0:19:31.459 --> 0:19:33.219 in the States. In the past three weeks the culture 0:19:33.219 --> 0:19:35.819 oh and three, they fired their offensive coordinator, their head coach, 0:19:35.819 --> 0:19:37.819 and play caller. They played a game where they went 0:19:37.859 --> 0:19:40.779 over fourteen on third down, and they hired a former 0:19:40.819 --> 0:19:43.299 player who wasn't in the building consistently at any point 0:19:43.339 --> 0:19:47.539 in the season. So, Greg, how confident are you in Indianapolis? Um? 0:19:47.579 --> 0:19:50.499 Not that confident. But I'm not confident in the Raiders 0:19:50.499 --> 0:19:52.539 either to win a game by much. So I've got 0:19:52.539 --> 0:19:54.859 this game close. I do have the Raiders winning, but 0:19:54.939 --> 0:19:56.899 I don't see the Raiders as some big favorite when 0:19:56.899 --> 0:19:59.019 they're two and six and they're not getting consistent play 0:19:59.059 --> 0:20:01.179 out of their quarterback. Are we allowed to talk about 0:20:01.299 --> 0:20:05.179 Derek Carr at some point? The car to me hasn't 0:20:05.299 --> 0:20:08.979 played consistent football. In the second half of that game, 0:20:09.019 --> 0:20:11.179 he couldn't hit throws in the second half of that game. 0:20:11.219 --> 0:20:15.179 Their defense couldn't get any stops. They are dead last 0:20:15.619 --> 0:20:18.819 in d v O A like efficiency on the defensive 0:20:18.859 --> 0:20:21.899 side this season. And car isn't a guy that really 0:20:21.939 --> 0:20:24.219 makes up for his surroundings. To me, he's a product 0:20:24.219 --> 0:20:26.499 of his surroundings, and his surroundings aren't great. So I 0:20:26.539 --> 0:20:28.979
