We 18 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 6: are coming to you Tuesday, September third, two days before 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 6: Chiefs and Ray Evans kickoff the season. This is NFL 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 6: Round Table. I would like to call this, in my opinion, 21 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 6: I won't speak for you too, like a debrief group 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 6: therapy session. Make sure we stay sane kind of show. 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 6: It's not like your typical pod we do here at 24 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 6: Action which we know most of you come for picks 25 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 6: and analysis, deep dive and there will be some deep 26 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 6: dive stuff. But the idea is to sort of set 27 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 6: the table for the coming week. Next week will be 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 6: a lot easier in weeks forthcoming because we'll have actual 29 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 6: games to digest. But the idea here is to get 30 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 6: ready for Week one and some of the big storylines 31 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,559 Speaker 6: around the league. I'm sure injuries will pop up, quarterback competitions, 32 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 6: quarterback injuries, coaching changes, whatever it may be. So this 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 6: is gonna our first this is our first one, so 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 6: bear with us. It will be Evan or Brandon Anderson 35 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 6: each week, and then Chris Raybon is our rotating guest 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 6: of Action Network NFL contributors that will join us, So 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 6: i will turn it over to you. 38 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: Guys. 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna start Caleb. 40 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 6: Williams and the Bears taking on the Tennessee Titans, and 41 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 6: the Bears are a favorite this week at four and 42 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 6: a half. But Raybon, the idea here is we've got 43 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 6: a quarterback in his first year first overall, pick a 44 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 6: lot of hype going into the Caleb Williams train. He's 45 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 6: a favorite of more than a field goal, and there's 46 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 6: some historical data that's important to note. 47 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm not even gonna steal Evan's thunders. 48 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 5: So Evan break down the numbers and then I'll get 49 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 5: into my feelings about these guys. 50 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 2: So everybody, how's it going? But here's the Stata kind 51 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: of set the table. So there have been twenty seven 52 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: number one overall pick since the merger in nineteen seventy 53 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: and in their first start there are four twenty two 54 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 2: and one straight up, seven and twenty against the spread. 55 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: And famously, as I feel like we hear every year, 56 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 2: David Carr, David Carr, not Derek in two thousand and 57 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: two is the last straight up winner. So but listen, 58 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: Caleb Land four and a half at home doesn't happen 59 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: every time for a rookie, especially in this spot. So 60 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: it's a little bit unique. 61 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 5: Okay, go all right, So listen, I love Kleb, I 62 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 5: love what the Bears on offense. However, it's all about 63 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 5: the value, right and this Titan team they're either going 64 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 5: to be sneaky good or at least feisty this year, 65 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 5: because yes, Will Levis is unproven, but you bring in Callahan, 66 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 5: who was, you know, the offensive coordinator in Cincinnati for 67 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 5: the last few years. You bring in Calvin Ridley and 68 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 5: Tyler Boyd at wide receiver, Tony Pollard at running back, 69 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 5: and Cushion Berry at center, which is big. He was 70 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 5: at top ten center at PFF and you draft the 71 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 5: top seven tackle. So a lot of the spots that 72 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 5: you were struggling at last year you've kind of solidified 73 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 5: on the offensive side. And then on defense you had 74 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 5: with jerryus Snee at corner, you had a Woozia at corner, 75 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 5: you had Digs in the secondary, and then you traded 76 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 5: for Ernest Jones went under the radar. Remember he was 77 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 5: a key piece of that Rams defense in the Super 78 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 5: Bowl and he was a top thirteen linebacker among eighty 79 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 5: two qualifiers. 80 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 3: And PFF last year still great. 81 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 5: You know, rushing the passers still can plug the runs, 82 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 5: so and they still have Simmons in the middle. So 83 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 5: this is not gonna be an easy out in my 84 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 5: opinion is Tennessee. So this Bears team first start for Kleb, 85 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 5: you know, it could be a little rocky. 86 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 3: So I think the values with Tennessee. 87 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. I mean, I need four and a 88 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: half for more. You're gonna hear it a little bit 89 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 2: later when we talk about some division long shots. I 90 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: kind of like Tennessee and the division is you know, 91 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: obviously Houston's a class at the moment. Everyone thinks Jacksonville 92 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: is gonna be what they're gonna be, and we've only 93 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 2: seen minutes of Anthony Richardson. But I think Tennessee has 94 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: done a lot in the offseason. You mentioned it all, 95 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: and the upgrades are there, so I need four and 96 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: a half for more. But Tennessee, I'm with you. 97 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 6: How long do you guys think it's gonna take for 98 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 6: the Bears to settle in with Waldron as their offensive coordinator? 99 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 6: With all these moving parts, it's a crowded room right 100 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 6: at running back and at receiver of course. 101 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: Oh listen, I like Chicago this year, but I think 102 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: it's gonna take a minute. Okay, right, I do. And 103 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: it's funny. Early in the offseason when I was seeing 104 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: all these moves, this was actually kind of one of 105 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: the games. I was like, I just want the extra half. 106 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: Want I want more than four because this could easily 107 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: be twenty three to twenty Chicago and you know, he 108 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: gets the win. We talk about it since two thousand 109 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: and two, and everyone holding Tennessee tickets is happy. 110 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's I think it's gonna take about a month 111 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 5: or so. I mean, you go to Houston after this, 112 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 5: and then Indy say you're gonna play two straight indoor games. 113 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 5: So the offense actually might start clicking in that third 114 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 5: week against Indianapolis, because good luck naming the best players, 115 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 5: or the good luck naming two good players in their 116 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 5: secondary I don't know if they have two. 117 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: They might have one. I don't know if they have two. 118 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 6: Okay, there's your Caleb Williams outlook week one. But the 119 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 6: guys like the Titans, All right, let's move on. We're 120 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 6: gonna look at Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin is another dog. 121 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 6: There's another one for you, right, So David is someone 122 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 6: who comes up all the time. Mike Tomlin is a dog. 123 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 6: Steelers finishing above five hundred, which with the seventeen games, 124 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 6: you can't finish at five hundred. But the Steelers are 125 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 6: a three point underdog at Atlanta. Arthur Smith returns to Atlanta. 126 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 6: It's a revenge spot for Arthur Smith, who is Mike 127 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 6: Tomlin's offensive coordinator. Simply put Ray Bond will start with you, 128 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 6: Mike Tomlin, keep it up as a dog. 129 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 4: Guys that played for me, they can tell you. One 130 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 4: of my sayings I got a lot of sayings is 131 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: don't seek comfort. I realize if you're gonna have special 132 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 4: outcomes that you gotta be comfortable being uncomfortable appreciating my 133 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: resume is seeking comfort. 134 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, he can. I mean this is disgusting. I don't. 135 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,799 Speaker 5: I mean, the line is about right. I don't really 136 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 5: want either side of this. But if I'm betting it, 137 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 5: I have to go Pittsburgh because for me, this defense 138 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 5: just matches up well. I like Russell Wilson, he's he 139 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 5: might ruin everything. But you have to consider on the 140 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 5: other side that remember Pittsburgh has you know why, and 141 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 5: and when you when you're playing up against wat you 142 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 5: don't want to be a primary one to one personnel team, 143 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 5: which is what Atlanta is on offense. Their scheme is 144 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 5: going to be completely different. And when you're one one 145 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 5: like ninety five percent of the time, that's just less 146 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 5: help you can give on what or on the other 147 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 5: side as well, Porter, you know six' two has the 148 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 5: size to match up With. London jackson on the other 149 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 5: side is, fast you know Against, mooney so they match 150 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 5: up really. Well you still got Dez roaman back, there 151 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 5: So it's nothing to do with the, offense BECAUSE i 152 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 5: think the offense is going. 153 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: To be very. Bad and it would be ironic. 154 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 5: If Russell wilson was the Reason mike Tom win finally 155 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 5: had to lose the. Season BUT i could just See, 156 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 5: pittsburgh you, Know atlanta first, Game Kirk cousins coming off The, 157 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 5: achilles no preseason works, Defense simmons first game with this new, 158 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 5: Defense judon first, game like just a lot of newness 159 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 5: On atlanta as. Well Arthur smith is familiar with much 160 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 5: of that, roster so he's gonna be able to help 161 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 5: on both sides of the. Ball game, plan AND i 162 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 5: just think this, defense you, know could Hold atlanta to 163 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 5: field goals and you can look up in the fourth 164 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 5: quarter and you know it'll be, like, uh you, know 165 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 5: ten to nine falcons or something like. That so like 166 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 5: that that IF i gotta, bet IF i got a 167 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 5: bet this, Game That's that's the Way i'm doing. It 168 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 5: i'm gonna row With, pittsburgh But i'm not gonna be 169 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 5: happy about. 170 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: It it's a new new, scheme new new. 171 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 6: Staff Zach, robinson o c Under Raheem morris who head. 172 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 6: Coach you mentioned the quarterback And it's a fresh, start 173 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 6: yes for The bijon's And Drake london's and maybe Maybe Kyle. 174 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 6: Pitts maybe this is the year For Kyle. Pitts there's a, 175 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 6: lot a lot of newness In. Atlanta any thoughts, Here 176 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 6: evan on the h on this game as it pertains 177 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 6: to The steelers getting three At, atlanta. 178 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: Raybaund did, say And i'm gonna, AGREE i think the line's. 179 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: RIGHT i think three actually is the. Numbers So i'm 180 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 2: not Sure i'm in love with this game either, way 181 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 2: But i'm probably on the opposite side Of Ray. Bun 182 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: IF i had to make a pick in this, One 183 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: i'd Go atlanta minus. THREE i just can see so 184 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: much going wrong on the Pitt now listen the two 185 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: situations Between cousins Against pittsburgh's defensive line And rogers now 186 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: against The San francisco defensive. LINE i think those are 187 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: two situations off of injuries you probably have to be 188 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 2: most worried about this, week and this is obviously one 189 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: of those. Spots BUT i kind of Like atlanta at 190 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: least at the field goal no higher and right now 191 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 2: looking at the Action labs day and THIS i only 192 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 2: say this BECAUSE i laugh because it's just. Changed But 193 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 2: pittsburgh's the biggest public side this week getting three, points 194 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: so twenty three to twenty, again maybe you, know twenty 195 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 2: four to twenty get a. Cover BUT i Think atlanta's 196 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: the right. Side i'm not a big. 197 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 5: Sbe gives up twenty four. Points they're not winning this. 198 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 5: Game yeah we're covering. That, okay, guys you're, right YOU'RE 199 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 5: i think this has to be a teens game For 200 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 5: pittsburgh Where atlanta moves it but but stalls out in 201 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 5: the red zone Because cousins is not on the same 202 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 5: page with you, know some of his new. 203 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 3: Weapons fair two. 204 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: Game previews here ON nfl Round. 205 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 6: Table as we mentioned off the, top this is kind 206 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 6: of a show that we will do some bigger picture 207 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 6: topics And week ones a great week for that because 208 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 6: we don't have any, Results we don't have any games 209 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 6: in hand, yet so from a bigger picture perspective going 210 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 6: Into week, one we have fourteen starting quarterbacks that haven't 211 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 6: won a playoff. Game, Bonix Anthony, Richardson, Gardner Minshew, Tua 212 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 6: Sam darnold who's In, Minnesota Bryce, Young Derek, Carr, brissett 213 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 6: And May may being A Rookie, Lewis Caleb, Williams, Kyler Herbert, 214 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 6: Gino Jayden daniels In. Washington what's the thought process, Here 215 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 6: evan in terms of noting this particular STAT. 216 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: I Think Ray bond is going to agree with me 217 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: at least off the top on what the math. Says 218 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: and That's, miami. Right, like if you were going to 219 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: look at the fourteen quarterbacks and, say, okay out of 220 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: all of, them which either has the lowest odds to 221 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: make the playoffs or has like the highest, probability it 222 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: would be two in The. Dolphins but that's not the fun, 223 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 2: answer AND i don't even know necessarily if it's the right. 224 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: ANSWER i, think from my, perspective IF i was going 225 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: to pick one of these guys and maybe be a 226 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: little bit of like a outlier in a, SENSE i 227 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: might actually go with The levis richardson side of, this 228 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: in That houston division With jacksonville as, WELL i think 229 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: both of them could find Because i'm looking, for to, 230 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: me at least the easiest, Division, like what's a path 231 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 2: that one of these guys who we don't see is 232 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: great right now or even good right, now like could 233 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 2: get to the playoffs and potentially get a home playoff. 234 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 2: Game so that was a direction THAT i had. It 235 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: And i'm going to talk About tennessee again in a. 236 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: SECOND i JUST i think they've improved a, lot and 237 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: not that there was anything wrong with The vrabel, side 238 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 2: BECAUSE i THINK i think we all disagreed with the, 239 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: firing BUT i think they've upgraded the. Roster so to, 240 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 2: me it's probably A Levis richardson. Situation, ray BUT i 241 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: think you're gonna look at it a little. 242 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 5: Differently, Yeah So, miami by the, math makes sense if 243 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 5: you're just looking for the team most likely to make the. 244 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 5: Playoffs but that's kind of the status. Quote we Expect 245 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 5: miami to make the, playoffs and when they get to the, 246 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 5: playoffs they'll PROBABLY i think The jets have an easier 247 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 5: schedule And buffalo's probably a little bit. Better SO i 248 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 5: don't think The dolphins win the, division which means they 249 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 5: probably go on the road in their first playoff, game, 250 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 5: Right so if they go on the, road there's a 251 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 5: good chance you're facing either The jets Or, buffalo Or 252 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 5: cincinnati Or baltimore Or Kansas. 253 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 3: City this is THE. 254 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 5: Afc SO i JUST i think The dolphins could kind 255 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 5: of do what we expect and still not actually pay 256 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 5: off that. Bet So i'm gonna go a little bit longer, 257 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 5: shot but a quarterback WHO i think is even, better 258 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 5: and that's Justin, herbert and the reason being The chargers 259 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 5: ARE i think a little bit less than five fifty 260 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 5: to fifty to make the. Playoffs but if they do 261 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 5: make the, playoffs that means a lot went right Around. 262 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 5: Herbert you, know like we know What herbert. Is but 263 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 5: the question mark are you, know can this skilled position 264 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 5: offense Without allen And williams And, echler can they? Survive 265 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 5: can you, know Can harball kind of transform that defense and? 266 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 3: Whatnot so if. 267 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 5: That's all, CLICKING i Think herbert gives you a good 268 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 5: chance as any to win a, game even if it's 269 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 5: on the, road because remember they already don't have much 270 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 5: home field, advantage so they'll probably be battle. Tested they'll 271 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 5: probably have one of a bunch of road games just 272 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 5: to get. 273 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 3: In and then you look At. 274 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 5: Harball he's forty four and nineteen and one career made 275 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 5: the playoffs in three of his four seasons as a head, 276 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 5: coach including each of the first. Three he also won 277 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 5: a playoff game in each of his first three seasons 278 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 5: as head coach in three and three of, four and 279 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 5: he won playoff games with Both Alex smith And Callan. 280 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 3: Kaepernick so like WHEN i just. 281 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 5: Put together the coach and the quarterback AND i look 282 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 5: for like a fringe, Team i'm looking at The. Chargers you, 283 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 5: know maybe it's the seven seed and they're gonna have 284 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 5: a tough. Matchup but you, know if anyone of the 285 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 5: if the if any team can go on the road 286 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 5: and knockoff AN Afc east, TEAM i think The chargers 287 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 5: might have a. Shot and if they, play if they 288 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 5: end up playing like The, chiefs hey that's the division. 289 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 5: Game you never know what could happen. There SO i 290 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 5: do see The chargers with a path. Here And herbert 291 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 5: you know he's good. ENOUGH i, mean what do you 292 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 5: have like a thirty nothing? Lead last time he was 293 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 5: in the, playoffs so. 294 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: Right he Got, yeah he was. 295 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 6: There we'll have more on quarterbacks and just a bit 296 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 6: in terms of their meaning to the points spread here 297 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 6: on THE Nfl.

Defense SO i was gonna go under forty 325 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: and a. Half that game opened forty three and a, 326 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: half so down three full points In week. Ones usually 327 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: historically you don't have to worry about the line movement 328 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: still goes under the closing.

Eckler you Have herbert maybe on an injury, too, 338 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 5: yeah coming off an. Injury and you saw it happened 339 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 5: To burrow last year when he came into the year 340 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 5: with an, injury WHICH i mean maybe he's doing, again 341 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 5: But Gardner minshew and his first regular season game in 342 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 5: a new, offense you, know with new teammates not guaranteed 343 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 5: to be on the same. Page and remember This vegas, 344 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 5: defense after what two decades of, futility they allowed just 345 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 5: sixteen points per game in the nine games After Antonio 346 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 5: peers to go over twenty three point. 347 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: Four prior to. 348 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 5: That so this became more of a run, heavy hard nosed, 349 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 5: defense defensive minded team Under, pierce AND i think that. 350 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 5: Continues and we know The, chargers you, know, Yeah, Harbaugh 351 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 5: herbert With west passing game, Weapons Greg, roman THE. 352 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 3: OC i, mean this just screams like seventeen. Thirteen, okay 353 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 3: there you. 354 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 6: Go so they're gonna lean under on A chargers And 355 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 6: Raiders division matchup in week number. One SO i mentioned 356 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 6: we talked about, quarterbacks and we mentioned quarterbacks that didn't 357 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 6: make the playoffs fourteen in THE nfl that are set 358 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 6: to Start week one or maybe some. Combination we mapped 359 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 6: Out Drake may And Kobe prissett being cut of as. 360 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 6: One there was sixty, six sixty six starting quarterbacks last 361 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 6: year in THE, nfl sixty six and that leads to 362 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 6: the injury the injury bug And Aaron, Rodgers Joe burrow 363 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 6: or the first two that come to mind right. Away 364 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 6: Anthony richardson was injured as. Well last Year Daniel Jones 365 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 6: Kirk cousins a big one right with The. Achilles So 366 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 6: Sean kerner did a great job of. This kerner's going 367 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 6: to be joining this show throughout the course of the. 368 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 6: Year But kerner over At Action network has a rite 369 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 6: up from earlier In august how how much each quarterback 370 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 6: is worth against the, spread so as not a this 371 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 6: is more something to keep in mind going Forward week, 372 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 6: one we know who's who at this. Point The patriots 373 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 6: did Name bset their. Starter they were the last team 374 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 6: to name their. Starter but at some point someone's gonna 375 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 6: get hurt or there's a change at. Quarterback BUT i 376 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 6: think it's fun to give the audience, Here evan quarterbacks 377 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 6: that mean the most to the? 378 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: Spread can you? 379 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 6: Guess can you guess the top five quarterbacks that have 380 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 6: the most impact to a point? 381 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 2: Spread so it's funny now Seeing raybahnd's list for the 382 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: first time right at this current. Moment some of them 383 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: are very, easy and THEN i have one that's clearly, 384 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 2: missing But i'll. Explain so the first one that's super 385 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: easy is Obviously Pat mahomes is one when says his, 386 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 2: BACKUP i think that's. Enough set, TWO i Have Josh. 387 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 2: Allen trubisky's the backup, there but What alan brings to the, 388 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: game from rushing to just literally the entire, PACKAGE i 389 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 2: think it's enough to probably make him probably second on the. 390 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 2: List third Is LAMAR i think the same type of. 391 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: Deal his Backup's Josh, johnson who, journeyman been everywhere but 392 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 2: also pretty reliable on some. LEVEL i have four With Burrow. 393 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 2: Now we saw so much good at A Jake browning 394 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: last year we almost probably said to, ourselves, well you 395 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 2: know what level is each, like you know where does it? 396 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: Start where does it? End so maybe it Declined burrow a, 397 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 2: tad BUT i still Have burrow. There and then my 398 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: fifth Is Dak Cooper rush now in that second, slot 399 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 2: but we're talking about the guy who probably had the 400 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: career year last, YEAR mvp status all around in all 401 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 2: of his, numbers obviously needed to get paid in this 402 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: situation because whoever was going to go into that slot 403 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: in place of him For dallas was never going to 404 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: be the right. Answer, now the ONE i Know i'm 405 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: missing here Is. Stroud back UP i believe Is Davis. 406 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 2: MILLS i think he's probably right. THERE i JUST i 407 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 2: need to see one more year for at least. Now 408 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: mills is terrible in a lot of, situations BUT i 409 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 2: do THINK i need a little bit more meat on the. Bone, 410 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: okay ray bomb hit. Me. 411 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 5: Mahomes wentz is number, one just Because mahomes is so. 412 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 5: Good wentz is actually probably like for a, starter he's, 413 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 5: terrible but in terms of, backups probably above. AVERAGE i would, 414 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 5: say you, know so that's one of their better, Backs 415 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 5: WENTZ zappi that's the. Rope, YEAH i mean we're just 416 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 5: going about the, backup, RIGHT i mean Even zappy that's 417 00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 5: a great third. 418 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 3: Quarterback, terrible terrible starter and second. 419 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 5: Guy but, yeah that's just all due To. Mahomes number 420 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 5: two for me is C. J Stroud Davis. 421 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 3: Mills C. J stroud to me is the closest thing To. 422 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 5: Mahomes Davis mills was probably not as good at this 423 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 5: juncture as Case, keenum But keenum went. ON i are 424 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 5: so Now miles is the, backup AND i just think 425 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 5: that would be a massive. Downgrade Lamar jackson To Josh. 426 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 5: Johnson number three for me just BECAUSE i Mean johnson's thirty. 427 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 5: EIGHT i know THEY i think they signed Hunt we 428 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 5: to the practice. Squad but either, Way lamar just gives 429 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 5: you so much as a runner and, thrower and it's 430 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 5: hard to replicate with these you, know bargain bin guys 431 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 5: that they tried out there when he's. 432 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 3: Hurt number four for, Me. 433 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 5: I'm actually might be a, surprise BUT i think this 434 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 5: guy's next, up like he's not quite ON. C. J stroud, 435 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 5: levels but he's, coming and That's Jordan. Love So i'm 436 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 5: gonna Go Jordan Love Malik willis because we've Seen Malik willis. 437 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 5: Start remember they they Took Josh dobbs off the street 438 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 5: in a must win game rather than Starting League willis 439 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 5: In tennessee a couple of years. Ago But Green bay's 440 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 5: quarterback situation was so dire With clifford And pratt that 441 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 5: they ended up trading For. Willis so, now, uh you, 442 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 5: Know willis looks like he's gonna enter the. Year is 443 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 5: the backup To Jordan, love AND i just think that's a, 444 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 5: massive massive drop. Off and then number five kind of cheating, 445 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 5: here but for the first two, Games Stetson bennett is 446 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 5: gonna be the backup To Matthew stafford rather Than JIMMY. G, 447 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 5: Now jimmy g is a great, backup kind of Like, 448 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 5: wentz you, know not great, starter but as a, backup pretty. 449 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 3: Solid But Stetson bennet's. 450 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 5: Horrible you, Know i've been TO rams preseason game at 451 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 5: least One rams preseason. Game, uh you, know each of 452 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 5: the last few YEARS i think he's been in the, 453 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 5: league what two years, now it hasn't been. Good SO 454 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 5: i have zero confidence In. Stetson bennett And stafford just 455 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 5: does so, much you, know whether it's you, know at 456 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 5: the line of, scrimmage the armstrand just the leadership.

Solid and the big THING i always looked for, 461 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 5: too is they didn't really have to change the offense 462 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 5: too much when they went To, brownie, like they still 463 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 5: were able to go with a lot of their same. 464 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 5: Concepts so that's Why i'm gonna go with a guy 465 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 5: like Love willis And Stafford stetson BECAUSE i just think 466 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 5: it would be such a big drop off in such a, bad, 467 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 5: bad bad performance by the backup if those guys were 468 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 5: to go, DOWN. 469 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 2: I have so many. 470 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 6: Questions So curner ranks these in the right.

Slot 564 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: SO i wanted to Say carolina And. ARIZONA i have 565 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: bets on both of. THEM i have more On.

CLASS 574 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 2: i think the jump that they made from last year 575 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 2: to this. Year they're going to be just as, good 576 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 2: if not a little bit. Better BUT i just think 577 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: there's a chance for other teams. There i'm not as 578 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 2: up on The colts in certain circumstances BECAUSE i don't 579 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: know About richardson's, health AND i Think tennessee's the right 580 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 2: answer for.

Seattle 587 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 5: that team entered the, year you, Know dino's first year 588 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 5: starting For Russell, wilson so you, know damaged goods for 589 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 5: former first round pick. Enters the year five and a 590 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 5: half is their win. Total canalis has been working with 591 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 5: him and he has a career year and they win nine. 592 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 3: GAMES i passed. 593 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 5: Their their win, total and you know they get, close they, 594 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 5: don't you, Know niners are still.

South but THE Nfc, SOUTH 605 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 5: i think is the weakest division in. Football look at 606 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 5: the three. Coaches you, Know canals was the first year head. 607 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 5: Coach he was an offensive coordinator of The bucks last, 608 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 5: year so first year head. Coach but look at the 609 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 5: coaches he's going to be going up against twice. Each 610 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 5: Raheem morris career record twenty one and thirty, eight three 611 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 5: fifty six winning, percentage that's the division. Leader Todd bowles 612 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 5: with The, bucks that's the team who won the division last. 613 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 5: Year he's forty three and fifty eight a four to 614 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 5: twenty sixth career winning, percentage the class of the, division 615 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 5: and of, course the odds on favorite to be the 616 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 5: first head coach Fired Dennis allen In New orleans twenty 617 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 5: four and forty six a three forty three career winning. 618 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 5: Percentage SO i Mean carolina could go five and one 619 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 5: against THE Nfc, South, like it's not out of the 620 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 5: question That carolina goes, Over, like, WELL i got it 621 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 5: at four and a. 622 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 3: HALF i think it's at five and a. 623 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 5: HALF i still like it, too for even the win, 624 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 5: total But carolina could go.

Division and the 628 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 5: THING i like is the team with the best odds 629 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 5: to win Is. Atlanta but you have some frigidity, there, 630 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 5: right a lot of new pieces and you have a 631 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 5: thirty six roer, quarterback new team coming off An achilles. 632 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 5: Injury just not a lot of like there's just not 633 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 5: a lot of sample size to, Say, okay he's gonna 634 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 5: be fine or like guaranteed or even to put odds on. 635 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 5: It you, KNOW i Know MARINO i think came back from, 636 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 5: it but that was in like what the mid, nineties 637 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 5: and he was.
