1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports. Oh what's going on? Everybody?

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: Welcome in Super wild Card Weekend? The playoffs begin today.

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: Can't wait for it?

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean I can't do it like that, like Bart

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: scott One said, can't wait. Wait. That's right.

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 2: Look at Chris Burfat on the ones and twos right

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: there where to go? We are firing on all cylinders.

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: Good morning, fellas. I got a simple.

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Question for you.

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 2: Okay, which game of Super wild Card Weekend are you

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: most looking forward to?

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: Me?

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: If I put my Finns fandom to the side, obviously,

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Finns up today, Valian Effort hopefully in

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: the freezing cold weather, and Casey, I'm going Rams Lions.

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: How do you not love the storyline of the trade

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: from twenty twenty one, involving Stafford and golf. This is

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: the first playoff appearance at home since the nineties for

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: the Lions.

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: I love that storyline. How about you?

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: It's good morning again, Good morning, and yeah, I think

22
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: how could you not look at every single fan in

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 4: Detroit as they nervously drum their fingers and then bite

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 4: the fingernails on the other hand, and just wait for

25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 4: this game?

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 5: Because this could be history. This is history in the

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 5: making for them.

28
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 6: And then on the other side of that, you have

29
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 6: Matthew Stafford in the homecoming the place that raised him

30
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 6: in the NFL before he left, went to college and

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 6: won a Super Bowl. It's like, it's a really really

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 6: cool story. But the one that I'm looking the most

33
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 6: forward to is Houston hosting the Cleveland Browns. What a

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 6: job Kevin Stefanski has done. Coach of the Year stuff

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 6: right there. What a job Demika Ryans has done. Coach

36
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 6: of the Year stuff right there. What a job Joe

37
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 6: Flacco's done, comeback Player of the Year stuff right there?

38
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: What a job CJ.

39
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 6: Stroud's done, Offensive Rookie of the Year stuff right there.

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 6: I mean, storylines everywhere you look in Houston and Cleveland

41
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 6: love that matchup. And Flacco's done something that nobody saw coming.

42
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 6: The Browns went from lovable loser to one of the

43
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 6: most hated franchises after bringing in to Shaun Watson in

44
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 6: all of his baggage, and then the owner even made

45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 6: himself a villain amongst his own by signing him to

46
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 6: this unprecedentedly large contract. Joe Flacco has changed the whole

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 6: narrative with the Cleveland Browns. So it's just a very

48
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 6: interesting time in Cleveland. And if they get on a

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 6: little bit of a run here, it kind of feels

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 6: like they've returned to lovable loser that people will be

51
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 6: able to get behind.

52
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 7: I mean, let's be honest, guys, I think the script

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 7: makers were in their bag with this weekend.

54
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: I mean it's.

55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 7: Every game, Every game has its own little narrative. And

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 7: Rich just went over the first game out of the shoot.

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 7: Usually this is the AFC South Invitational, the Saturday first

58
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 7: playoff game. It's always the AFC South team that gets

59
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 7: this game. I think the entire day is going to

60
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 7: have some drama to it. The nightcap the Swifties, right,

61
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 7: they'll get paywalled with the Chiefs game, that should be

62
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 7: very interesting. The weather in that game will be very interesting,

63
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 7: and we'll dive into how that frozen tundra there at

64
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 7: Arrowhead is going to impact the game. But if you

65
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 7: want to ask which games the NFL thinks are the

66
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 7: most important games, I think the two in the late

67
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 7: windows Sunday are kind of the prime time, right, those

68
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 7: are those are the prime slots for wild Card Weekend.

69
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 7: The Sunday afternoon game Packers and Cowboys too, historic franchises,

70
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 7: you know everything.

71
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: I think all the pressure.

72
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 7: Will be on the Cowboys and the Packers with this

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 7: young gun team are just gonna kind of ride into

74
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 7: Jerry's world and see if they can't upset the applecart.

75
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: There one of the biggest dogs of the weekend.

76
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 7: And then I agree, I think it's the Sunday night

77
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 7: game in terms of just the overall optics of that game.

78
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 7: Continues to get better each week with what the Lions do.

79
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 7: I mean two weeks ago, you know, being able to

80
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 7: win the division, and then they come back and at

81
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 7: the play anyone last week and they did and then

82
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, bing bang boom, someone gets hurt

83
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 7: and we'll see if Laporta plays tonight, and now I'll

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 7: have a big impact on the game. So I think

85
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 7: the Stafford stuff certainly is the headline, but every game

86
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 7: kind of has its own little narrative baked in this week.

87
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: Okay, so how about this who has the most to

88
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: gain slash lose in the playoffs?

89
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: So let's start with the QBS. Huh.

90
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: I thought we would start big picture here in Super

91
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: wild Card weekend. So if you look at all the

92
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: quarterbacks involved here in the playoffs, we obviously have fourteen

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: of them. Which guy is at the top of your

94
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: list in terms of the most to gain or lose?

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: I'd throw a few out there, like Dak Prescott. Think

96
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: if he wins, what that would mean for his career,

97
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: his reputation if he loses. Obviously, Cowboys we love when

98
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: they're the Binyata. You know there'd be some brushback if

99
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: if they lose again. Josh Allen, I think falls in

100
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: that category as well. Look at brock Purty, right, If

101
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: per he wins, you think about legitimizing him to a

102
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: much greater degree. He's gotten it done in the regular season,

103
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 2: but he hasn't yet gotten it done in the postseason.

104
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: If they win it all, If the Niners win a ring,

105
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: that's huge for brock party. I would actually go with

106
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson at the top of my list because think

107
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: of it this way. If he wins it, it's his

108
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: first ring. That's huge. If he loses, he's gonna win

109
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: a second MVP. And if he loses, now all of

110
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: a sudden, his reputation is entrenched as this regular season

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: guy and this postseason failure. I think there's a big

112
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: deal there, Like if brock Party doesn't get it done, yeah,

113
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: there are gonna be some slings and arrows, but it's

114
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: more of a shoulder shrug, like we're not expecting him

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: to get it done. Same thing with dak If the

116
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: Cowboys fall to that's what the Cowboys do. If the

117
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: Ravens has a one seed again, wet themselves. And especially

118
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: if they're one and done like they were against the

119
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: Tight a few years ago. I think Lamar stands to

120
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: lose a lot, So I would put Lamar at the

121
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: top of my who has the most to gain slash

122
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: lose quarterback list?

123
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: What do you guys think.

124
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 5: If we're talking about just one win?

125
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 6: I want to answer both questions, just one win in

126
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 6: the postseason and winning the super Bowl. If we're talking

127
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 6: just one win, Baker Mayfield could use a playoff win

128
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 6: because I think that is going to shift the way

129
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 6: we look at Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay will probably

130
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 6: make a long term investment in him. And so we're

131
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 6: talking about after being the first overall pick and then

132
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 6: going through the meat grinder of the backup quarterback realm,

133
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 6: he may return and bubble his way to the top

134
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 6: half of this league in terms of passers again and

135
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 6: relegitimize his career.

136
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott, though, I think this is in terms of player.

137
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 6: This is a legacy making opportunity for him, and I

138
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 6: don't know how long this window is going to stay

139
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 6: open for Dallas. This is the best team arguably they've

140
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 6: had on both sides of the ball entering the playoffs

141
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 6: since he's been the quarterback. This is probably the best

142
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 6: shot he has at getting to a Super Bowl through

143
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 6: not a weak NFC, but comparatively relatively weak compared two

144
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 6: years in the past, and so he's got a path

145
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 6: to get to the big game. Look at Matthew Stafford

146
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 6: winning that Super Bowl with the Rams changed everything. He

147
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 6: went from afterthought in Detroit to potential Hall of Famer.

148
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 6: I think the same could be said for Dak Prescott

149
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 6: if he gets a Super Bowl win.

150
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 7: See.

151
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: I think this is where the points bread can help us.

152
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 7: Guys, Right, even if you're not betting the games, you

153
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 7: could still use the points bread as a gauge for Hey,

154
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 7: this shouldn't have happened and it's the Cowboys, Right, You're

155
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 7: at home, You're facing a defense and Joe Berry's the

156
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 7: coordinator and it's been a sieve all season and give

157
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 7: up thirty points of the Panthers a few weeks ago.

158
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 7: If if you're not scoring thirty in this game, that's

159
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 7: a red flag for Dallas.

160
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 8: Right.

161
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 7: It's one of the highest totals of the weekend. Dallas

162
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 7: a touchdown favorite. If they don't put up a big number,

163
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 7: maybe they lose the game because Jordan Love goes bananas

164
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 7: and this you know, young Packers roster just doesn't know

165
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 7: any better and doesn't understand the stage that they're on,

166
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 7: and they go in guns of blazing and they pull

167
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 7: off a big win. But I think if Dak Prescott

168
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 7: plays poorly, that is a massive red flag. I think

169
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 7: you give a pass to Josh Allen because they're playing

170
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 7: in like the Polar Express. I think, you know this

171
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 7: weekend when we're not gonna judge if he doesn't have

172
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 7: the best game, because I don't even know what the

173
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 7: vibe is gonna be like in Buffalo tomorrow, like it's

174
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 7: literally a snow globe. And unfortunately for Baker Mayfield, I

175
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 7: agree he could use a win too, but he's got

176
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 7: like a broken rib and a banged up ankle, Like

177
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 7: his entire body is banged up this week.

178
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: I don't think he has a broken rib, but isn't.

179
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 7: It's a bruised rib and a you know, bruised ankle,

180
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 7: and he's he's limping into this game too. So a

181
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 7: lot of the quarterbacks I think are kind of you

182
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 7: give him a pass in a certain scenario. You don't

183
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 7: give Dak a pass in this game. You're facing a

184
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 7: bad defense. He should have success against your at home,

185
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 7: there's no weather and you're the two seed, right like,

186
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 7: this is this is your year? You know you should

187
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 7: be in the NFC title game facing the Niners, Like

188
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 7: that's the expectation for this Cowboys team. And anything short

189
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 7: of that and a bad performance by Dak this week

190
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 7: raises some big redflex.

191
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: Okay, head coaches playoffs as a whole, don't get in

192
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: this super wild Card weekend.

193
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: You know, shoe box if you will.

194
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: If you look at the entire playoffs here, which head

195
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 2: coach has the most to gain or lose? I put

196
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan at the top of my list. Right doesn't

197
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: ever ring as a head coach number one seed. They

198
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 2: are oozing with talent on that roster and if they

199
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: don't get it done, there's gonna be some some brushback

200
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: because oh here we go again, right, they get it

201
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: on in the regular season. They couldn't get it done

202
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: with Jimmy g against the Chiefs, they always come up short. Granted,

203
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: there might be more scrutiny on Purty if they don't

204
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 2: win it, but there's gonna be scrutiny on Kyle Shanahan.

205
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: And that again further cements his reputation of he wins

206
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: a bunch of regular season games, can't get it done

207
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: in the postseason. We all know what it would mean

208
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: if he wins that ring. That legitimizes him, and that's

209
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: like getting knighted like in the NFL, if you're able

210
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: to win it all. I put Shanahan up there at

211
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: the top of the list for me.

212
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Sir Shanahan.

213
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 6: I'll stay in the NFC East for this one. I

214
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 6: think the most consequential two teams, or I should say

215
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 6: the two teams that are facing the most consequences at

216
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 6: head coach if they have an early bounds are the

217
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 6: Cowboys and Eagles. Nick Sirianni, I feel like is in

218
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 6: jeopardy of losing that job and We've seen this with.

219
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Laurie and Roseman.

220
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 6: They're not afraid to move on from a successful head coach,

221
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 6: regardless of how long the tenure, if they feel like

222
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 6: it's time. And we've heard some rumors about the culture

223
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 6: in Philadelphia. I don't know how much he could trust

224
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 6: all that. We're not in the locker room. But so

225
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 6: from a standpoint of how much to lose, Nick Sirianni

226
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 6: could legitimately lose his job depending on the outcome on

227
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 6: Monday Night.

228
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 5: Now you look at.

229
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,239
Speaker 6: The Cowboys in terms of most to gain, well, Mike McCarthy,

230
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 6: we know how We know how Jerry Jones works.

231
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: He rewards people who.

232
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 6: Have success in his system with enormous amounts of money

233
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 6: and big, long term contracts. He's done it with Dak,

234
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 6: He's done it with all of his favorite stars on

235
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 6: the roster. He's also done it with head coaches. So

236
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 6: if McCarthy goes on a good long run here, if

237
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 6: he gets the Cowboys to a Super Bowl, maybe if

238
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 6: he doesn't even win it, if he just gets them there,

239
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 6: gets them an opportunity to take a bite of the apple,

240
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 6: and there isn't a disaster on his hands in any

241
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 6: of these meetings, you know, they play each team close

242
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 6: or blowing out even in a close loss. Getting to

243
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 6: the final matchup, I feel like I feel like Mike

244
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 6: McCarthy could sign a long term extension and solidify himself

245
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 6: in Dallas.

246
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is a tougher one because I think, I mean,

247
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 7: we were based on our group chat, we've already fired

248
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 7: Nick Sirianni like he's already gone.

249
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: We're already replacing him with Bill Belichick.

250
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 7: There's our peak behind the curtain and what we've been

251
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 7: talking about in our group chat all week, and I

252
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 7: think that's fair.

253
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: I don't know what the vibe is in Philly. Here's

254
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: what I do know. The brains definitely left town.

255
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 7: And it's obvious that Gannon and stike In being the

256
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 7: oc DC, Like, you don't know how much impact losing

257
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 7: both coordinators really has because you don't know how much

258
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 7: head coach, you know, influence there is with a lot

259
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 7: of this stuff. Well now we know probably a lot,

260
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 7: and especially Stikeen on the offensive side, I really think,

261
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 7: I really think the offense has looked a lot different

262
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 7: this year. The defense has been dealing with a lot

263
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 7: of injuries. I guess the offense dealing with injuries now too,

264
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 7: but both sides of the ball, Franklin look bad, So yeah,

265
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 7: Sirianni makes sense.

266
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: And yeah, obviously the Cowboys. I mean, guys, let's be honest.

267
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 7: If I had to pick one team out of a

268
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 7: lineup this week where the coach is literally fired the

269
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 7: moment the game ends if they lose, I think it's

270
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 7: Dallas just because of the stage that they're going to

271
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 7: be on and the opponent that they're facing, how much

272
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 7: they're favored by. Unlike Philly, there's not a lot of

273
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 7: injury issues for Dallas right now. It's pretty much full strength,

274
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 7: and if they can't go out and beat a Packers

275
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 7: team that I know, they came on strong down the stretch.

276
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: And I love the Jordan love stuff. He's been fantastic.

277
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 7: The numbers are off the charts, but it's his first

278
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 7: playoff start on the road against a really good defensive line,

279
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 7: like I would be.

280
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 3: Surprised if everything goes smoothly for Green Bay in that game.

281
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 7: So I think it's Dallas has hands down the most

282
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 7: to lose this weekend, and I could absolutely see there

283
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 7: being a change, especially with all the other coaches that

284
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 7: are now floating in the ecosystem.

285
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,000

326
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,680

Speaker 1: BETMGM the king of sportsbooks, the king of parlays.

356
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: Okay, so coaching changes, Wow, what's crazy stuff throughout the

357
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: entire week headlined by I would say Nick Saban choosing

358
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: to retire. It's not small potatoes that Bill Belichick is

359
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: out in New England. But that wasn't nearly the surprise

360
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: that Nick Saban walking away was. I like, did you

361
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: think when Jalen Milroe got stuffed on that final play

362
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: against Michigan in overtime? But that's probably Nick Saban's final game. Ever,

363
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: I didn't think that at all. I don't think many

364
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 2: people did. But after six championships at Alabama, Nick Saban

365
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: walks away, And some of these numbers are just insane.

366
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 2: His record at Bama two to oh one and twenty

367
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 2: nine six championships. He won double digit games in every

368
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: one of his seasons except the very first one. Think

369
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: about that, sixteen straight seasons winning at least ten games.

370
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: I love this one.

371
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: He finished in the top ten in each of his

372
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: final sixteen seasons at Alabama. In the previous twelve seasons

373
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 2: before Nick Saban arrived, Alabama finished in the AP Top

374
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: ten one time.

375
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's insane what he was able to accomplish.

376
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 6: An incredible culture builder and also a run of success

377
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 6: that's almost unprecedented. I mean, there is precedent for it

378
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 6: because we've seen it before. It's just rare that it happens.

379
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 6: And if you think around college football, how often we're seeing,

380
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 6: especially at the major Division IE level, how often we're

381
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 6: seeing coaches changes. Now, having that sort of staying power

382
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 6: is ridiculous.

383
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 5: How many coaches came.

384
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 6: And went during that seventeen year tenure as head coach

385
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 6: of the Crimson Tide countless. So I agree with you

386
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 6: that was the most surprising of the announcements Belichick. There

387
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 6: was a tremendous amount of riding on the wall. We

388
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 6: know the NFL is very finicky. It's what have you

389
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 6: done for me lately? And unfortunately for Bill Belichick, the

390
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 6: Patriots haven't been to the standard he created for those

391
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 6: fans and for that ownership group. And same with Pete

392
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 6: Carroll Seattle Seahawks moving on from Russell Wilson. The legion

393
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 6: of Boom. The boom is just an echo at this point.

394
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 6: It's a long time since that Super Bowl win, so

395
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 6: it felt like that was coming eventually. But Nick Saban

396
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 6: even at a ripe old age in terms of coaching,

397
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 6: because I don't know how many more tomorrows he has

398
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 6: walking the sidelines because everybody retires eventually, or everybody gets fired,

399
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 6: I guess eventually.

400
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 5: So we knew that day would come.

401
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 6: But I agree with you that final snap against the

402
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 6: Wolverines and OT I had no clue that was going

403
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 6: to be the last time we saw him on the

404
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 6: sideline with the whistle around his Now.

405
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.

406
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 7: They're all kind of the same age, so you know,

407
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 7: the writing was on the wall for all three guys.

408
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 7: I'll put Pete Carroll's name in this category two because frankly,

409
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 7: I thought that was.

410
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: The bigger of the two surprises in the NFL.

411
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 7: You guys, remember when you go in the doctor's office

412
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 7: when you were young and you see, you know, the

413
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 7: pictures on the wall of like how much does this hurt?

414
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 7: And it's like, you know, just a little bit, and

415
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 7: then a little bit and then oh yeah, like oh

416
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 7: the really you know the ten at the top where

417
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 7: you're like whoa, yeah, that was when I got the

418
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 7: notification on my phone that that Saban retired like that

419
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 7: was that was a ten in the in the in the.

420
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: Pain category of surprise.

421
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 7: Carrol was like a five or a six, and Belichick

422
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 7: was like a nothing burger because we all knew it

423
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 7: was coming. It was just more the manner in which

424
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 7: he did it, I thought was was intriguing. I think

425
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 7: with Saban, you know, it's funny. I was watching the

426
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 7: video of him and Kirby Smart before the SEC Championship game.

427
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 7: Kirby knew Kirby has a terrible poker face. The way

428
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 7: he was talking to him. He was kind of like

429
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 7: you could see it in his eyes, like Kirby knew,

430
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 7: and he couldn't say anything because there were so many

431
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 7: cameras on the field and he just didn't want to

432
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 7: tip his hand, but he kind of did. And then

433
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 7: if you watch some of the mannerisms that Saban, you know,

434
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 7: carried himself at the end of the regular season, his

435
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 7: last game in Tuscaloosa, of course, on the sidelines in

436
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 7: the SEC Championship game. I didn't notice it as much

437
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 7: during the College Fooball playoff, but the writing was kind

438
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 7: of on the wall there. You just it was kind

439
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 7: of hiding in playing sight. None of us expected it,

440
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 7: and that's why it was a surprise.

441
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, the.

442
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 7: Greatest coach in college football history. Maybe I know I'm

443
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 7: recently biased because I'm I'm a young kid. I don't

444
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 7: remember the Bear Bryants and you know, on the back

445
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 7: end of paternal and it just man different world in

446
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 7: college football this week after those news, after that news

447
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 7: took place.

448
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: Well it's a little bit of a different deal. What

449
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: goes up must come down. You know, who goes out

450
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: someone us come in. Right with all these coaching changes,

451
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: it's not just about Saban and Belichick leaving. We already

452
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: have answers who's coming in. We'll get to that right

453
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 2: around the corner. But you want answers, you have come

454
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: to the right place. Okay, Isaac c Lohan drawing, he

455
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 2: has you know those guys that open up their jacket

456
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: and they've got all the fake watches, all the fakes.

457
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: Isaac clowenkrun just opens it up and it's just it's

458
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: knowledge and information.

459
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 9: That's right.

460
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's not a trench code, it's a jacket. Let's

461
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 11: say kind of yeah, well, what do you mean well

462
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 11: any I mean yes, we do have information inside the jacket.

463
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,959
Speaker 11: This morning fellas from the NFL coaching carousel because NFL

464
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 11: media reported this morning that it's believed the Los Angeles

465
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 11: Chargers will speak with Jim Harbaugh next week, while Raiders

466
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 11: all pro pass rusher Max Crosby meanwhile will explore a

467
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 11: train request if the Raiders do not hire Antonio Pierce

468
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 11: as their full time head coach. ESPN reports Pierce has

469

Speaker 11: emerged as the Raiders leading candidate. The playoffs kickoff at

Speaker 11: Green Bay Packers will visit the Dallas Cowboys. But yesterday,

475
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 11: a Packers fan named Lucy Kurowski was leaving an appointment

476
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 11: in De Pier, Wisconsin, when her car got stuck in

477
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 11: a snowdrift. A good Samaritan approached her to offer to help,

478
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 11: and the good Samaritan turned out to be none of

479
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 11: the Then Packers quarterback Jordan love Kowski described what happened

480
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 11: to WLUK Television.

481
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 12: He offered to push my car, which we tried. I reversed,

482
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 12: he pushed and then at the first time, we're like,

483
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 12: this is not a good idea. You have a game

484
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 12: on st. Sunday, So we're like, it's okay, I have

485
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 12: people coming to help me. Anyways, So then I got

486
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 12: a picture. I said, have a great weekend and good luck.

487
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 12: I'll be rooting for you, and he went on his

488
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 12: merry way.

489
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 3: It was so cool.

490
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 12: It was so random. You know, it's the middle of

491
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 12: a blizzard. Last thing I was expecting was my star

492
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 12: quarterback of my favorite team ever to come try and

493
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 12: help me.

494
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 8: It made my day.

495
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 11: So Jordan Love a good Samaritan. But Lucy Kerowski perhaps

496
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 11: making a big play, because could you have imagined the

497
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 11: headline Packers quarterback injured while helping someone.

498
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: Never been able to stay in Green Bay?

499
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: My goodness, yeah it uh it is.

500
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio is kept Down to Kickoff, presented by

501
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 2: Bed MGM.

502
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: That's great of Jordan Love. That's an awesome story.

503
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 2: My question is who's gonna push Jordan Love against the

504
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 2: Cowboys because he's gonna need a boost.

505
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna need a boost again, what do you mean.

506
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: To boost better team? Who's been a juggernaut at home?

507
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 2: Hasn't lost at home since like twenty twenty.

508
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 7: Two in week sing A tough team, but let's be honest.

509
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 7: The Jordan Love numbers down the stretch Brian have been unbelievable.

510
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: Oh it's staggering what he's been able to do. It's

511
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: absolutely unbelievable.

512
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 7: I sense a lot of sarcasm there, my hed Yeah, yeah,

513
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 7: you know a little bitter about that underpackers.

514
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 2: Oh crazy, I haven't forgotten about that. I thought that

515
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 2: would you would lose sight of that, shocking I was wrong. Hey,

Speaker 2: after we get off the year.

523
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll get to uh the cheeseheads here in

524
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: a bit.

525
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: And to be clear, Jordan Love did have a very

526
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: good season statistically, no doubt about that. Thirty two touchdown passes,

527
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 2: number two in the NFL. That's pretty crazy. How about

528
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: Dak and Jordan Love won two on the same field

529
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: on Sunday, that's pretty insane thing.

530
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 3: It's the first time that's happened.

531
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: That pack defense is Swiss cheese.

532
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: Oh they're gonna get diced up something nasty tomorrow, but

533
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 2: we'll get to that. How about these coaching changes where

534
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: so Saban is out, Kaylin de Boor, the Washington head coach,

535
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: former Washington head coach is in. I love this because

536
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: I read all this stuff and two things stood out.

537
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: When Nick Saban walked away, Alabama.

538
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: Was like, yeah, give us three days.

539
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: We should figure out who the new guy is in

540
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: a couple of days, and they were right. And the

541
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: other thing was with Kaylin de Boor. There was a

542
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: little blurb that said he loves it at Washington and

543
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: his daughter will be a freshman on the Huskies softball

544
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: team next year, and it's like, oh wow, maybe.

545
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: He'll no roll tied over there over there to take

546
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: over for Nick Saban.

547
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: And we mentioned Bill Belichick, girod Mayo, former Patriots linebacker.

548
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: He takes over in what Demico Ryan's like fashion, right,

549
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: you think of Ryan's with the Texans linebacker there, he's

550
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 2: the head coach, so Gerrod Mayo there in New England,

551
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: and like Ilo said, Jim Harbaugh, flirty flirty, he's gonna

552
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 2: sit down with the Chargers this next week and I

553
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: do not expect him backing in Arbor.

554
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 6: So really quick back backtracking to the Sabin de Boor situation,

555
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 6: that wasn't the only movement that occurred at the head

556
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 6: coaching position in the in the you know, I should

557
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 6: say in college football, because Jimmy Sexton, who is the

558
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 6: agent of Nick Saban and Kaitlin de Boor, is also

559
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 6: the agent for Dan Lanning, Mike Norvel, and Steve Sarkisian,

560
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 6: who all got more money as a result of the

561
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 6: leverage created by the void in Alabama.

562
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 5: So congratulations to Jimmy Sexton.

563
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 7: Yeah like that Really how I didn't I wasn't not

564
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 7: aware of the dynamics behind the scene because I know

565
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 7: all those guys were kind of in the mix for

566
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 7: the Bama job. I thought it was all intriguing. They

567
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 7: all kind of put out their own little hype video

568
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 7: that they were staying.

569
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, which is kind of the new thing that

570
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: coaches do.

571
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 6: Now.

572
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 3: I didn't know coaches do.

573
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: That well, well, yeah, yeah, it's recruiting thing. Yeah, I'm

574
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: staying at it, I know.

575
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: And it's kind of like the opposite of what we normally.

576
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 6: It really is, and it's because I imagine these university

577
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 6: presidents and athletic directors, they're they're encouraging these coaches to

578
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 6: put something out to make sure that they don't lose recruits,

579
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 6: because all it takes is one rumor and uh and

580
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, you could lose a five star

581
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 6: and uh so yeah, I think that's a big part

582
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 6: of it.

583
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 5: But get back to the NFL.

584
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, quickly replacing the greatest coach who's ever coached football,

585
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 6: Bill Belichick. Gerrod Mayo, who's my age. He's thirty seven

586
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 6: years old. He's a former teammate of mine. I played

587
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 6: with him for three years. He was a second year

588
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 6: player when I was drafted to New England in two

589
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 6: thousand and nine. He was lured to the New England

590
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 6: staff by Bill Belichick, and as it turns out, he

591
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 6: apparently signed a successor in waiting style contract that had

592
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 6: been already granted approval by the NFL that they had

593
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 6: to that they had already appeased the Rooney rule, and

594
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 6: they could fast track him into the seat as soon

595
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 6: as Bill stepped down. And that's exactly how it went down.

596
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 6: So I would argue, and I may be mistaken, but

597
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 6: this is the quickest hire after a retirement or firing

598
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 6: an NFL history. And Gerrod Mayo, look, I mean, he's

599
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 6: replacing greatness. And so just like Cam Newton in New

600
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 6: England and just like Mac Jones as the two starting

601
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 6: quarterbacks since Tom Brady, how do you replace the greatest

602
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 6: to ever do it?

603
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 5: I don't know, but we'll see.

604
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 6: Like you said, Damika Ryans figured out something special in

605
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 6: Houston really quick, but involved C. J.

606
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 5: Shroud, who is another worldly talent. New England needs a quarterback.

607
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

608
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 7: The difference with the quarterback situation is Cam Newton wasn't

609
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 7: named the successor the day that Brady retired, right, like

610
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 7: the secession plan, right, maybe we should have gone the

611
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 7: final final season of secession was really the Patriots signing

612
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 7: this contract with Gerrod Mayo, because behind the scenes I

613
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 7: would have loved to see the dynamic I have made.

614
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 3: I know I'm young, but in.

615
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 7: My memory I have not recalled a time where, especially

616
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 7: in a situation like New England where the successor was

617
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 7: right there waiting the whole time, like hiding and playing

618
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 7: sight Like did Bill know about this guy? I'm assuming

619
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 7: he did, and it was the greatest kept secret in

620
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 7: the end media world because I didn't hear about this

621
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 7: until it happens. So just a unique situation. All of

622
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 7: these coaching situations are.

623
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: Unique in their own way.

624
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 7: The Bama thing, I mean, Klein de Boor is just

625
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 7: like a winner, Like it's just you were replacing him.

626
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 3: And if Alabama rises to.

627
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 7: The level that the Boar has brought to other schools,

628
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 7: and it's hard to raise the bar at Alabama, but

629
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 7: the Boar everywhere he's gone has.

630
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 3: Raised the bar.

631
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 7: And if he does that again at Alabama, I mean,

632
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 7: you know, try to wrap your mind, galaxy brain, your

633
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 7: mind around Bama improving getting better.

634
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: That just to me is a scary notion.

635
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 7: And with the Belichick stuff, yeah, it really is the

636
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 7: most seamless transition in NFL history from one coach to another.

637
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 7: I mean, we'll see how it plays out. I mean,

638
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 7: it might be a disaster, and I think if they

639
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 7: don't get a quarterback it will be. But it's just

640
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 7: it's wild how these teams just kind of bake their

641
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 7: narratives in already before the story even breaks, and you

642
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 7: credit the Patriots for keeping.

643
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: It all buttoned up.

644
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, two things. It is pretty crazy that news that

645
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: huge stayed under wraps. And it's a credit to those

646
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: organizations like the Patriots, those programs like Alabama where there

647
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: are so many people that you know they'll just be

648
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: fall victim to I got a secret to tell and

649
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: they tell one guy, who tells this other guy in boom,

650
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 2: It's made news. I'm surprised we didn't get a huge

651
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: whiff of that before the Alabama Michigan game. So credit

652
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: to those guys being so buttoned up and man, and

653
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: that's the other thing. If you think about Gerard Mayo

654
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: real fast, think about this. You're filling in for a

655
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: legend Bill Belichick, six Super Bowl wins with the Patriots,

656
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: and he has sucked these last few years.

657
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: Think about that.

658
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 2: So you're taking over for a legendary head coach who

659
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: hasn't gotten it done at all the last couple of seasons,

660
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: and that's going to be a distant memory. You're going

661
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: to be compared to this Patriot standard and these high

662
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: expectations meanwhile, arguably the greatest head coach of all time

663
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: in the NFL. They won what four games this past

664
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: year or whatever it was like, so you've got to

665
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 2: fast track this thing to success from where you currently are.

666
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: That is going to be a mammoth task right there

667
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: for Mayo.

668
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's going to be inexorably linked to everything

669
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 6: that happened in New England because he played there from

670
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 6: two thousand and eight through twenty fifteen.

671
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 5: I mean, he was a defensive Rookie of the Year

672
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 5: with New England.

673
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 6: He was in fact, I remember during our time together

674
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 6: in New England, we called him Little Belichick.

675
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: He hated the nickname, no, no.

676
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, he absolutely hated the nickname, but we called him

677
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 6: Little Belichick because he was a mad scientist, just like Bill.

678
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: He wow was diagnosing things.

679
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 6: And this is while he's young, Like we're talking about

680
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 6: a twenty three to twenty four year old kid. That's

681
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 6: an awesome start who's pretty fresh out of Tennessee.

682
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 5: And yeah, he was.

683
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 6: He was sensational in terms of his football IQ. He

684
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 6: just understood the game and he could play at such

685
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 6: a faster level than a lot of defenders because he

686
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 6: could get to the play quicker because he understood where

687
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 6: the offense wanted to go with the football. And so,

688
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 6: don't get me wrong, Like he's one of those guys.

689
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 6: When I was playing with him, I knew he was

690
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 6: going to become a coach. You don't think before you're

691
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 6: forty you're going to become the head coach of a

692
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 6: franchise that has won six recent Super Bowls and has

693
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 6: been dominating the league for twenty years. But that's where

694
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 6: he cut his teeth and he really never left the nest.

695
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 6: And so he gets his shot at taking this program

696
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 6: over and potentially continuing that success.

697
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 7: I mean, think about the boar fifteen years ago he

698
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 7: was at the nai A two falls like now he's

699
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 7: at Alabama.

700
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 3: Like just insane.

701
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 7: How meteoric rises these guys had. That's a great story

702
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 7: on Mayo though.

703
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: It's it's too bad you didn't have the bet mgm

704
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 2: app back then. Rich Yeah, next to the Patriots head coach.

705
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, sure you're outside. Well, that would have

706
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: been a football wager. You would add your head to

732
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: been cooking it up. He's been dicing it. He's trying

733
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: to shoehorn Jordan Love and Romeo Dubs props into this thing.

734
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: I've heard.

735
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 5: What do you have for us?

736
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 7: Shared? No Jordan Love props, although I am intrigued in

737
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 7: the total in that game, and we'll get to that

738
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 7: game in a little bit. Actually, don't have the Packers

739
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 7: game here. These are all from today and tomorrow. Just

740
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 7: one little nugget for you tomorrow, but the bulk of

741
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 7: these picks are today's games, and it is a prop

742
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 7: theme parlay platter.

743
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 3: So this is I'm taking a page out of your book, Brian.

744
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 7: I saw some good props that I liked, and I figured, hey,

745
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 7: let's throw them together into a little soup. Play here

746
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 7: and see what we got. David and Joku is gonna

747
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 7: score a touchdown today. That's price to plus one seventy

748
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 7: five at bet MGM. He's the matchup in this game.

749
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 7: And I know Amari Cooper had the big game the

750
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 7: last time these two teams played, and Actually and Joku

751
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 7: had kind of an average game. But I think that

752
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 7: flips this time because I think if there's one thing

753
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 7: the Texans can't do today, and you can't let a

754
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 7: Mark Cooper have two hundred and fifty yards receiver. So

755
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 7: I think that benefits David and Joku. I think he

756
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 7: has a big game and I think he finds the

757
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 7: end zone Isaiah Pacheco to get one hundred or more

758
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 7: rushing yards. That is plus three fifty at bet MGM.

759
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 7: You can bet on that on its own and it's

760
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 7: a pretty nice payout. Again, he's gone for one hundred

761
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 7: plus in two of the last three games. Didn't play

762
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 7: last week. Of course, they rested their starters last week

763
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 7: and the Dolphins and Brian, I know you're not excited

764
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 7: about this because the linebacking court for Miami is so

765
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 7: banged up. Bruce Irvin, Melvin Ingram, justin Houston. I mean,

766
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 7: this isn't the two thousand and five playoffs. This is

767
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 7: the twenty twenty four playoffs, and these are all mid

768
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 7: to high thirties guys that are gonna have to play

769
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 7: and play well in this game if Miami wants to win.

770
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 7: Because of all the injuries for the Dolphins on the

771
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 7: in the defensive side of the ball.

772
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 3: So I think the Chiefs are gonna run it a lot.

773
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: Cold weather game, They're gonna run the football, and I

774
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 3: think Pachecko has a really good game.

775
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 5: And finally, this is a random one.

776
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 7: Tomorrow, Donovan People's Jones over six and a half receiving

777
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 7: yards basically one catch, no Khalif Raymond.

778
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 3: People's Jones will be the punt returner.

779
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 7: And if you look at the vibes that People's Jones

780
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 7: have been given off the last couple of weeks, he's

781
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 7: part of the offense. He's like the number four receiver

782
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 7: in this offense. He had two receptions for twenty five

783
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 7: yards in the Vikings game last week, and I think

784
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 7: he's gonna get a couple of looks. The porter might

785
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 7: be out, maybe he go a little more four wide

786
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 7: receiver setter thirteen or excuse me, a thirty one personnel

787
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 7: there with a three wide receiver.

788
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 3: So I think this will be an interesting spot for

789
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 3: People's Jones. So and Djoku to.

790
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 7: Score a check one hundred yards People's Jones over six

791
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 7: and a half receiving yards.

792
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: Twenty one to one.

793
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 9: Wow.

794
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: At MGM, I was just thinking, I'm like, imagine you

795
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 2: hit on the first time I know today and you're like,

796
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 2: throw it to people's jones.

797
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 6: Man, I mean, but it's it's the safest pick in

798
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 6: my opinion on this slip. It feels very safe. And

799
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 6: then in Djoku love that Flacco's favorite target. And really,

800
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 6: if you look at the Houston Texans, they give up

801
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 6: a lot of passing yards. They don't give up a

802
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 6: lot of points, which means they give up a lot

803
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 6: to the tight ends.

804
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 5: I love that pick too.

805
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: What's the payout on that again, Jared? What's the poinout?

806
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: One to one?

807
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 3: One to one?

808
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: Whoop? But you're back, you're backing? Oh way are coming

809
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: up next?

810
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: The elements a huge factor in the playoffs?

811
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: Today? Oh what is going on? Super wild Card weekend?

812
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: It begins today and your nightcap on Pea Kroc Did

813
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: I call it.

814
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: So garbage? They're making you pay to watch this. It's that.

815
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 3: You've done maybe in the year and a half we work.

816
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 9: Oh, thank you.

817
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

818
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: Dolphins against the Chiefs, a pair of eleven and six teams,

819
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: Chiefs favored by four and a half.

820
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: It is gonna be.

821
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 2: Super cold, right Super wild Card Weekend gonna be super

822
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 2: cold tonight. And you alluded to this, Jared, the rash

823
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: of Dolphins injuries, my lord, when you have to sign

824
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: this week Justin Houston and Bruce Irvin because your pass

825
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: rushers are out for the most part, like your top guys.

826
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 2: There's no Bradley Chubb, there's no Jalen Jalen Phillips, there's

827
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: no Andrew van Ginkel.

828
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: Like all these guys are out. It's insane.

829
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: And so you get Justin Houston and Bruce Irvin in

830
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 2: Aqua and Orange and see what you can do against

831
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. But listen, the ground game is gonna be very,

832
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: very important on both sides here, and I think you're right.

833
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 2: I think Pacheco is going to have a really good

834
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 2: game for the Chiefs, Jared, But also in Aqua and

835
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 2: Orange mostertk Chan if they can move it, and they

836
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 2: moved it well in the second half on the ground

837
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 2: against the Chiefs that game in Germany, you got a

838
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 2: fighting chance. But man in the elements against that Chiefs defense,

839
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: this is gonna be tough sledding for the Finns.

840
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 6: The level of nerves that I'm here in coming through

841
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 6: the microphone as he talks about, you know, some of

842
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 6: the offensive viability that the Dolphins have with all of

843
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 6: the with all the injuries that they've suffered, especially the

844
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 6: tail end of this this season.

845
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 5: It's a it was a rough go for the Dolphins there.

846
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 6: But I will say this about any team that gets

847
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 6: into the playoffs, whether they sneak in or they've dominated

848
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 6: the field throughout the course of the season, the Dolphins

849
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 6: deserve to be there. And the Dolphins are dangerous, and

850
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 6: the Dolphins are like a heavyweight fighter, right Uh, doesn't

851
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 6: matter who gets in the ring, you give him a

852
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 6: puncher's chance because if you connect man Tyreek Hill, you

853
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 6: just mentioned a chan They've got some devastating skill position

854
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 6: players who if they're in the open field, if McDaniel

855
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 6: can draw up something twice three times to get somebody

856
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 6: a home run touchdown like we've seen throughout the season,

857
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 6: he could blow He could blow this game open. And

858
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 6: as long as the wind isn't a huge factor because

859
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 6: to it doesn't have the strongest arm that that's really

860
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 6: gonna be a key for this Dolphins offense. In terms

861
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 6: of the passing game. Mahomes, I mean, he could whip it.

862
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 6: That guy's got a rocket for an arm. But as

863
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 6: long as it's not too windy, this could be a

864
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 6: really sneaky good matchup in Arrowhead.

865
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you want the good news of the bad

866
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 3: news first?

867
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 2: Brian, good for your beloved adult Definitely good. Oh by

868
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 2: the way, Cameron Good, he's out for the season.

869
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 3: Yes, well yeah, that was not That was not meant

870
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: to be a double entendre there.

871
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 7: So I think the narrative to me that I'm hearing

872
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 7: a lot this week that TUA can't play in the

873
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 7: cold and the coldness and the cold weather.

874
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 3: And I get it. Both teams have to play in

875
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 3: the cold. One.

876
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 1: Two.

877
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 3: All of the games that TUA and the.

878
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 7: Dolphins have lost in cold weather over the years, how

879
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 7: many of those games had Mike McDaniel as.

880
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 3: The head coach at The answer is zero?

881
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 7: And especially last year the cold game in Buffalo was

882
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 7: Skyler Thompson.

883
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: Then was won that game was Cols game. So I

884
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 3: just I think that's.

885
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 7: Being overbaked here into the into the into the dip,

886
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 7: this whole cold this Myami call a warm weather team. Yes,

887
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 7: it's cold, we know, both teams have to play in it,

888
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 7: all right. The bad news now it's I don't know

889
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 7: what we're going to get from this Dolphins defense, and

890
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 7: that's what scares me here. Now you get the injuries,

891
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 7: and you get the fact that I do think the

892
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 7: Chiefs are going to run it successfully.

893
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 3: But there's a flip side to this.

894
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: Since Week eight, the Chiefs.

895
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 7: Are like a bottom ten offense and Matt Naggi's been

896
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 7: terrible at making adjustments. They're the third lowest scoring team

897
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 7: in the second half this year. So you could also

898
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 7: make the argument that this isn't the week where the

899
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 7: defensive deficiencies that the Dolphins have, which are staggering, are

900
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 7: going to play as big of a factor as Let's

901
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 7: say this game was played in a perfect environment and

902
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 7: Mahomes and the Chiefs were humming on offense, Like those

903
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 7: two things aren't the case. The cold is kind of

904
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 7: your great equalizer here. It kind of gives you a

905
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 7: fighting chance to where if you can run the ball,

906
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 7: and I do think the Dolphins can run the ball.

907
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 3: The Chiefs dead last and run stop.

908
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 7: Win rate, their bottom five and most rushing efficiency categories

909
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 7: on defense. If that's the game plan for the Dolphins,

910
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 7: and it should be keep to a clean the numbers.

911
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 7: When he's under pressure, he drops off a cliff, keep

912
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 7: him clean, quick throws, run the ball moster a Shane

913
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 7: run the ball. You got hunt back last week, the

914
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 7: right guard. I think the offensive line's healthy. If they

915
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 7: run the ball, I think they've got a fighter chance

916
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 7: to win this game. But man, defensively, I just don't

917
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 7: know how you're getting stops. And that's gonna be That's

918
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 7: gonna be the tough task early in this game. Stay

919
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 7: in it early and then try to keep that running

920
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 7: game active because if bad.

921
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 3: Game script happens and you can't run it well, then

922
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 3: things get really dicey.

923
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's where I wonder how much the weather

924
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 2: impacts both offenses. Right But when you've got a good

925
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 2: ground game and the Dolphins do, maybe the weather impacting

926
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 2: the offense isn't the worst thing ever, Because Jalen Waddle

927
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 2: is still gimpy with that ankle injury. You know, if

928
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 2: you slow down that Chief's attack, you know, I don't know,

929
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 2: it sounds crazy, but might actually not be a horrible

930
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 2: thing for the Dolphins. But man, you know, this is

931
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: something else that I think is sneakily good Vegas right now.

932
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: Normally we look at home teams home field advantages. If

933
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: you don't go with three right now, you go two

934
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: and a half. You know, yeah, yeah. The Chiefs opened

935
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: as three and a half point favorites, right They're at home.

936
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 2: So if you say, let's just say two and a half,

937
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: go with that as the standard. That's what your home

938
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: field advantage is worth in the NFL. So if it's

939
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 2: standard two and a half, they're favored by three and

940
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 2: a half. To begin, Vegas is telling you, I will

941
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 2: give them a point against a ravaged by injury Dolphins

942
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 2: team that doesn't have great momentum that's just coming off

943
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 2: a heartbreaker against the Bills. When Vegas says, yeah, I

944
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: we'll give you a point, that to me is telling,

945
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 2: and I hope it unfolds that way. But when we're

946
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 2: just in this, you know, fade the Fins, it's Mahomes,

947
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: it's Andy Reid, it's that defense. A lot of reasons

948
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 2: to love the Chiefs, but Vegas says, yeah, yeah, I

949
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 2: like them, I guess right Like that to me is

950
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 2: pretty telling.

951
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 6: One of the most dangerous things about the Chiefs that

952
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 6: I don't think anybody has really focused on all season

953
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 6: long because of the woes of the offense is how

954
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 6: talented and great this defense has been playing, especially down

955
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 6: the stretch. No team has scored more than twenty points

956
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 6: on them during the last five games of their regular season.

957
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 6: When the Dolphins faced them earlier in the season, they

958
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 6: only scored twenty one points on them. It was or

959
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 6: excuse me, only fourteen points on them. The Chiefs won

960
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 6: twenty one to fourteen. And so you look at the

961
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 6: offense and there are problems. Kansas City has not looked

962
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 6: right all season. Mkole Hardman can't track the football and air.

963
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 6: It's just been problem since he's been in the league.

964
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 6: Marquez Valdez scantling. He short arms a lot of passes

965
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 6: for a six foot three receiver. He's a body catcher,

966
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 6: and so his catch radius is a struggle, and you've

967
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 6: seen that affect their ability to go deep downfield because

968
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 6: he's got real top end speed. And even Travis Kelce

969
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 6: has had a wildly unproductive year compared to the expectation

970
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 6: he's built up for himself as an all Pro tight end.

971
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: So you look at the offense and you say, oh,

972
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: struggles everywhere you look.

973
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 6: But you look at this defense and you say, this

974
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 6: is the smoothest sailing it's ever been for KC. If

975
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 6: they had anything resembling the offense they had last year,

976
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 6: they would be the toast of the NFL. Everyone would

977
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 6: be saying back to back Super Bowl champs. Mahomes is

978
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 6: gonna win his next Super Bowl MVP next We'll see

979
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four. Because that's how real this defense is.

980
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 6: And I'm very curious, especially with the elements you add

981
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 6: that into the conversation with the Dolphins, especially with the

982
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 6: injuries and especially with the momentum this Chiefs defense is

983
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 6: playing with. I think this is gonna be a tall

984
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 6: task to play this game on the road in the

985
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 6: postseason for the Dolphins.

986
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, the Chiefs defense fantastic against the pass. The numbers

987
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 7: against the run haven't been great. Their weakness is the

988
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 7: linebacking core and Chris Jones, who is probably the best

989
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 7: interior line one of the best interior linemen in the league.

990
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 7: More of a pass rusher than a run defender, but

991
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 7: at this time of year he kind of does revert

992
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,479
Speaker 7: back to his game. Brian, I'm glad you mentioned the number.

993
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 7: The number matters, right as much as the handicap matters.

994
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 7: The matchups matter. The price matters. Right, You can have

995
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 7: the best meal on the planet. If you're spending one

996
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 7: thousand dollars for it, it might not taste as good

997
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 7: then if you're spending twenty dollars for it. This meal

998
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 7: is getting a little pricey for the Chiefs, right. I

999
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 7: think if you remove all of the narratives from this game,

1000
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 7: you put the game in a bubble, you put some

1001
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 7: key defenders back on the Dolphins defense, and you play

1002
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 7: this game on a neutral Oh wait, we already did

1003
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 7: that like two months ago.

1004
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Dolphins were like a pick them in that game.

1005
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 7: And now you're out to five, Like, it's just it's

1006
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 7: getting really pricey, because even if you give the Chiefs

1007
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 7: a point and a half for home field, most of

1008
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 7: the sharpest professional gamblers that I talked to here in

1009
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 7: Vegas still make the Dolphins like a pick them or

1010
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 7: even maybe a slight favorite.

1011
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 3: But now you start to.

1012
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 7: Add the injuries and the cold weather and the Arrowhead Stadium,

1013
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 7: and now we're out to five. Like, it's just it's

1014
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 7: getting a little bit pricey to bet Kansas City here

1015
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 7: in this spot.

1016
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: Do I like the Chiefs in this game? Do they

1017
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: probably win?

1018
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 9: Yes?

1019
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 3: Am I willing? To lay five points. Absolutely not.

1020
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 7: I think if anything, you try to move the Dolphins

1021
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 7: up right, maybe put them in a ten point t's

1022
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 7: or get it up to fourteen fifteen. I did that

1023
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 7: earlier in the week. I think under is a good

1024
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 7: bet here. First half Under his teams try to adjust

1025
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 7: to the conditions, and we do think it's going to

1026
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 7: be a running game. But you're betting under in a

1027
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 7: game with Patrick Mahomes and to Tyreek Hill, and you

1028
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 7: know the lightning strike could happen at any moment. So

1029
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 7: I think from a betting perspective, this game has become

1030
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 7: a little bit tricky because of the price.

1031
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 3: But Chiefs in the under is certainly the lean here

1032
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 3: for me.

1033
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, I get why you would lean that way.

1034
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 2: I think that again, it goes back to the weather,

1035
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 2: because I think the Dolphins are a prime candidate to

1036
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 2: be in Efitt mode, but I don't know if the

1037
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 2: weather will allow them to fully engage e Fitt mode,

1038
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, yeah, they had the division,

1039
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 2: it slipped away.

1040
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, they're all banged up.

1041
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 2: They just signed Justin Houston and Bruce Irvin, you know

1042
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, screw it, let's go out there

1043
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 2: and just let it all hang out. I don't know

1044
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 2: if the elements are gonna let him do that.

1045
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 3: You got the right coach for that mindset, though, Oh

1046
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 3: yeah right. I love the coach. I think the coach

1047
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 3: is a rock star. I wish every coach would be

1048
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 3: like him.

1049
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but That's what I'm looking at is I think

1050
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 2: they might have that mentality. But I wonder if the

1051
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 2: elements are gonna get right in their way of fully

1052
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 2: embracing that.

1053
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:09,880

00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 8: gonna need the Texans pretty bad, and we're gonna need

1092
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 8: the Dolphins right now. A lot of money coming in

1093
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 8: on the Chiefs and the Cleveland Browns.

1094
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that doesn't surprise me.

1095
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 7: I need the I need the Browns today though, so

1096
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 7: I'm gonna be rooting again chains.

1097
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 3: But that's okay.

1098
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 7: Let's get to tomorrow's games, because I think the it's

1099
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 7: it must have been.

1100
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 3: It's probably been a.

1101
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 7: Difficult week trying to book this Steelers Bills game. Of course,

1102
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 7: not only the weather. We saw the total drop like

1103
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 7: a rock. But then all of a sudden on Friday,

1104
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 7: you get these random rumors that the game might get moved,

1105
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 7: and I don't think it's gonna get moved. And now

1106
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 7: they're hiring a regular civilians to shovel snow, Like, what

1107
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 7: are we gonna expect in Buffalo? And how is it

1108
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 7: gonna impact what is going to be a normal game

1109
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 7: for us to watch.

1110
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 8: I mean it's I mean, the wind is supposed to

1111
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 8: be even almost as bigger factors than the snow is apparently,

1112
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 8: so that's why you're seeing that toll drop almost a touchdown.

1113
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 8: I mean, we're going to need the over really bad.

1114
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 8: Everyone just came in on the under name and name

1115
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 8: and number. They've got the under that we hung, so

1116
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 8: we're going to be under. And actually money's been kind

1117
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 8: of going both ways here on this spread. So I mean,

1118
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 8: obviously we I'd love to see a Steelers upset for

1119
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 8: the book, just to knock out a bunch of Harley's

1120
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 8: teezers and whatnot. But right now, the spreads not really

1121
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 8: much of the need. We're just gonna need points from somewhere.

1122
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1123
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, you mentioned the weather, and I think this is

1124
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 6: an education for a lot of people because what you

1125
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,439
Speaker 6: just said is absolutely true. It's the most discussed thing

1126
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 6: for kickers and punters. Pregame is looking at which direction

1127
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 6: the flags are waving at the top of the goalposts,

1128
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 6: and you know how strong of a breeze it is

1129
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 6: that we're getting and what direction the breeze is coming

1130
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 6: in from, and all that information is obviously communicated to

1131
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 6: and with the head football coach and the special teams

1132
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,479
Speaker 6: coordinator and all those things are.

1133
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 5: You know, really weigh and bounced.

1134
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:10,320
Speaker 6: Wind, without question, is the worst enemy of any offense

1135
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 6: or any kicking team. Uh, it's it's the defense's best

1136
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 6: friend because it kind of makes the offense play left handed?

1137
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 6: Is it similar for sports books? Is is wind the

1138
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 6: biggest wild card for you when you're trying to handicap?

1139
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 8: Definitely, Like you brought up the a good point with

1140
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 8: like kickers, special teams, punts, et cetera. It's hard to

1141
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 8: throw when it's really windy.

1142
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 7: Yep.

1143
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 8: So it's definitely gonna affect a team like the Bills

1144
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 8: with Josh Allen. So, I mean we're gonna I think

1145
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 8: you're probably gonna see a lot of runs. I mean,

1146
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 8: we're gonna need points to nowhere. But it's the win

1147
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 8: games are definitely the hardest ones to kind of try

1148
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 8: and get right. We just got to do our best

1149
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 8: to follow what our sharpest customers are telling us about

1150
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 8: this total Really.

1151
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 2: How about Seamus, how about those weather games where you

1152
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 2: look at the Dolphins as a moor and a half

1153
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 2: point underdog, you look at the Steelers as nine and

1154
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,280
Speaker 2: a half point underdogs. There, do you think the weather

1155
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 2: helps or hurts the road underdogs in those spots.

1156
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 8: It depends. I mean, yeah, it seem like Pittsburgh that

1157
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 8: plays over in uh you know, what was formally known

1158
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 8: as hyt s Field. They've seen their fixture of poor

1159
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 8: weather games. I mean, Miami, it's it's it's gonna be

1160
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 8: tough for them. It's you know, just geographically. You know,

1161
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 8: they will play a lot of like they play in

1162
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 8: Buffalo for sure, a couple of cold weather games. I mean,

1163
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 8: you're looking at feels like minus thirty out there. It's

1164
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 8: gonna be it's gonna be tough. And Mahomes and Kelsey

1165
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 8: and those guys they played frigid temperatures before in Arrowhead,

1166
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 8: So I don't think they're gonna be very I mean,

1167
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,439
Speaker 8: it's gonna make a difference. They're gonna be it's gonna

1168
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,919
Speaker 8: be hard. But I think it just depends team the team.

1169
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 7: Honestly, Seamus, Tomorrow night, I think is the toughest game.

1170
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 7: Like I have a I have a bet on pretty

1171
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 7: much every game right now for the weekend, with the

1172
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 7: exception of the Sunday night game the Rams and the Lions.

1173
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 7: I just don't have a feel for it. I think

1174
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 7: the number seems fair. We haven't seen it move off

1175
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 7: the three much this week. It's kind of wobbling towards

1176
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 7: the Lions at three and a half, but it's not

1177
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 7: quite there. We saw a lot of lar plus three

1178
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 7: and a half money I saw come in earlier in

1179
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 7: the week. Is there anything that's sticking out to you

1180
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 7: in this game? I know, you know MGM's got a

1181
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 7: huge stronghold in the state of Michigan. I would imagine

1182
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 7: that means you need the Rams, But let's be honest,

1183
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 7: Stafford as a dog, I mean, I think they're gonna

1184
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 7: get a lot of love in this game too.

1185
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, every week I come on here and the rooting

1186
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 8: it's whoever's playing a Michigan team. But there's definitely a

1187
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 8: lot of interest in the Rams this week. That could

1188
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 8: change come kickoff, But right now, it's money coming both ways.

1189
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 6: In terms of player props, because that's becoming inarguably one

1190
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 6: of the fastest growing markets with Deli Fantasy and also

1191
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 6: you know on bet MGM. I mean, I love how

1192
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 6: many props do you guys have available on weekly daily basis?

1193
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 6: You know, I look at a weather game like we're

1194
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 6: discussing at Buffalo or at Arrowhead and I think, geez,

1195
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 6: you know, it feels like those are more ripe for

1196
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 6: the plucking.

1197
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: Would you agree, would you.

1198
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 6: Say there's more value because there's a little bit more

1199
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 6: volatility in that market to pick props on weather games.

1200
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 8: Absolutely. Whenever there's just a lot of uncertainty and just

1201
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 8: variance in a game, there's always going to be a

1202
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 8: prop you can find how they find another edge in

1203
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 8: the game like this. Every week, I feel like there's

1204
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 8: someone out there who's looking to find the game that

1205
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 8: doesn't have a touchdown score. That's why you're probably to see,

1206
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 8: you know, a smaller number on the odds for that.

1207
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 8: We took a chunk of vets on under touchdowns for

1208
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 8: all the games like under you know, three and a

1209
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 8: half total touchdowns, two and a half total touchdowns. So

1210
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 8: it's yeah, you find something every week where you know

1211
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 8: people are trying to find an edge.

1212
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Seamus, I know you want to make a ends, Yes,

1213
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: So the shame of special this week? Where are you

1214
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: taking us?

1215
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 8: I'm been a low shot guys, great track last night,

1216
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 8: so I need a winner here and I'm going to

1217
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 8: go back to a player who has done me no

1218
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 8: wrong this year and have to save you, Jared, I'm

1219
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 8: taking the Texans out right, I.

1220
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 7: Think, wow, head to head with the shame of specialist,

1221
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 7: Oh my god, I.

1222
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 8: Don't know what to fay in the last few weeks

1223
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 8: here on the right side.

1224
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 3: That's fair.

1225
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: Well, hey, great stuff is always shamous, man.

1226

1227
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 8: Man, thanks, guys, enjoy the game.

1228
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 3: Good stuff.

1229
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Thank you. There he is seamous McGee from bet MGM.

1230
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? Head to head? Not

1231
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: not great?

1232
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:50,919
Speaker 8: Not great?

1233
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 3: Mob right, not great, Bob, Well, it's weird. I mean,

1234
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 3: you know how I am.

1235
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 7: Guys like, I don't want to be on the side

1236
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 7: of the public, but I also so my New Year's

1237
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 7: resolution and my betting vibe this year is just to

1238
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 7: be my own man and to not be influenced by

1239
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 7: outside sources.

1240
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 3: I really like the matchups, and we can get to

1241
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 3: it later in the show. Like the matchups are so

1242
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:14,919
Speaker 3: favorable for the Browns.

1243
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 7: And I'm just hoping this is one of those spots

1244
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 7: the public's done really well in the NFL this year.

1245
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 3: Public is doing pretty well.

1246
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 7: Maybe they're better informed, I don't know, or maybe the

1247
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 7: public will be wrong and the Chiefs.

1248
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, go Dolphins later.

1249
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 7: Let the Dolphins be the game that everyone doesn't expect

1250
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 7: anyone to win, and the Miami wins, but hopefully Cleveland

1251
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 7: gets home.

1252
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give you, I've sure some I think good

1253
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 2: news for you. This little glass half full, glass half

1254
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,439
Speaker 2: empty if you're back in the Browns, that's right around

1255
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 2: the corner, but glass full on optimism. When Isaac loewen

1256
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 2: Kron is gracing the airwaves over here, Okay, right, there's

1257
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 2: not even a portion that's glass, you know, a fourth

1258
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 2: empty and eighth empty, there's none of that. It's fully fantastic,

1259
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 2: Hi Low, what's going on?

1260
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Better?

1261
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 11: And a glass full of fresh NFL information today, because

1262
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 11: multiple outlets reported a short time ago that Philadelphia Eagles

1263
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,919
Speaker 11: receiver A. J. Brown will not play in Monday's wild

1264
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 11: card game against Tampa Bay do to his sprain knee. Brown, however,

1265
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 11: could return for the divisional playoffs if the Eagles advance.

1266
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 11: NFL media reported this morning that it's believed that the

1267
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 11: Los Angeles Chargers will speak with Jim Harbaught next week,

1268
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 11: while Las Vegas Raiders all pro pass rusher Max Crosby

1269
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 11: will explore a trade request if the Raiders do not

1270
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 11: hire Antonio Pierce as their full time head coach. ESPN

1271
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 11: reports Pierce has emerged as the raiders leading candidate. The

01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 11: Steelers game in Buffalo is still on track to be

1277
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 11: played as scheduled, despite three feet of snow expected to

1278
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 11: fall over the next thirty six hours.

1279
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 9: In Buffalo.

1280
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 11: Yesterday, New York Governor Kathy Hockel addressed citizens about the

1281
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 11: upcoming snowstorm, but also addressed Steelers fans.

1282
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 13: And this one's for our friends who's thinking about traveling

1283
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 13: from Pittsburgh to watch the game. We think it's just

1284
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 13: better if you stay home and tune in on television.

1285
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 13: It'll be safer for all of us. It's gonna be

1286
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 13: a rough game for you anyhow.

1287
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 11: Everthing like trash talking politicians back to you, guys, Thank you,

1288
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 11: I Loo.

1289
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 2: It is Fox Sports Radio's Countdown to kick Off, presented

1290
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 2: by Bett MGM that hasn't gone badly for anyone, right right?

1291
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 5: However, what was it?

1292
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 1: The mayor of someone.

1293
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 3: Grohead?

1294
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: He fully leaned in.

1295
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 5: It didn't work out.

1296
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 2: Hey, Once a day, play bet MGM's free to play

1297
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 2: eight bit Barry for a chance to win daily prizes.

1298
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 2: Plays Hall of Famer Garry Sanders and choose to spin

1299
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,479
Speaker 2: stiff arm or juke your weight to the end zone

1300
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 2: to win prizes. If Barry scores a touchdown, you score

1301
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 2: a reward. Okay, So two things Jared with you backing

1302
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 2: the Browns that might make you feel better. The first

1303
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 2: thing is Charlie Heck huh offensive tackle.

1304
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: He is on the injury report. He's got a calf injury.

1305
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: He's questionable.

1306
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 5: Now.

1307
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 2: The last time these two teams played, Charlie Heck gave

1308
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 2: up fifteen pressures and two sacks. Yeah, and now he's

1309
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 2: got a calf injury and he's going up against Miles

1310
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 2: Garrett and company.

1311
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: That is not a great recipe.

1312
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 2: And the other thing I keep going back to is

1313
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 2: if the Browns, who have a great chance to hold

1314
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 2: Nico Collins in relative check, what are the Texans doing offensively?

1315
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 2: No idea right against that defense? I think so much

1316
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 2: hinges on Nico Collins. Can he have a good game

1317
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 2: for the Tech because if he doesn't do a whole lot,

1318
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 2: I don't see the Texans doing a whole lot.

1319
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 6: This game comes down to one thing, and one thing only.

1320
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 6: It comes down to Miles Garrett and the pass rush

1321
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 6: up front, getting into CJ. Stroud's kitchen, making him rush throws,

1322
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 6: making him step up and off his spot, making him

1323
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 6: uncomfortable in the pocket, and failing to deliver accurate football's downfield.

1324
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 6: Because this guy rolls out of bad accurate and he

1325
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 6: is unwavering, he'll stand in the pocket and he'll deliver.

1326
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 5: So you got to hit him early. You gotta get

1327
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 5: to him early. You gotta hit him.

1328
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not suggesting going outside of the boundaries

1329
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 6: of the game, but it may not hurt if you're

1330
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 6: right up against the edge of that whistle, you know

1331
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 6: what I mean, Like if you're just you know, a

1332
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 6: couple extra shoves, a couple extra bumps against the rookie

1333
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 6: in his first playoff appearance hosting the Browns. Like, I'm saying,

1334
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 6: you gotta get some sort of mental edge over CJ.

1335
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 6: Stroud and you need to get him uncomfortable otherwise you're

1336
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 6: going to get ripped apart in the back end. And

1337
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 6: that's what he's been able to do is keep his composure,

1338
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 6: is I mean under pressure or with a clean pocket

1339
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 6: and deliver the football downfield.

1340
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, let's dive deeper into strout in this matchup. I think, honestly,

1341
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 7: this is a very interesting spot for CJ. A lot

1342
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 7: of people going into this game think that he's kind

1343
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 7: of infalluable based off of the what he's done this year.

1344
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 3: I don't like this matchup for him at all.

1345
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 7: So, first of all, if you really dive deeper into

1346
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 7: the teams that the Texans have faced down the stretch,

1347
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 7: they have beaten up on a lot of bad secondaries.

1348
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 3: Here are the games, the good games the CJ.

1349
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 7: Stroud has had Arizona thirty second in pass defense, Cincinnati thirtieth,

1350
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 7: Tennessee bottom five, Tampa Bay dealing with a ton of

1351
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 7: injuries in the secondary, Jacksonville down trending all year. The

1352
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 7: games that he played against the good secondary, the Jets ugly,

1353
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 7: very very ugly.

1354
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 3: I know that game was on the road in bad

1355
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 3: weather and all that stuff.

1356
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 7: Then you get into the actual matchup, the x's and

1357
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 7: o's here last week, CJ. Stroud got to face a

1358
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 7: Colts defense that loves to play zone well.

1359
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 12: C J.

1360
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 7: Stroud this year's top five in efficiency against zone. Now

1361
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 7: he faces the Browns this week, who play the most

1362
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 7: man coverage of anyone in the league.

1363
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 3: Guess what, CJ.

1364
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 7: Stroud bottom five in efficiency against man coverage this season.

1365
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 7: It's just a different matchup, and I think rookie quarterbacks

1366
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 7: especially have struggled in their first playoff start. Two to

1367
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 7: eight straight up three six and one against the spreads

1368
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 7: in two thousand and two, first time starting quarterbacks in

1369
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 7: the playoffs have struggled in their first start.

1370
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,439
Speaker 3: It's been a while for Joe Flacco, but obviously.

1371
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 7: He's got a ton of playoff experience and we just

1372
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 7: have to give a lot of credit to I think

1373
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 7: Kevin Stefanski. Twenty seven percent of the Browns roster is

1374
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 7: or excuse me, their salary cap is on ir. He's

1375
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 7: gone from a mobile quarterback Deshaun Watson, multiple quarterbacks. In

1376
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 7: between losing your right tackle, losing your left tackle, losing

1377
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 7: your best running back.

1378
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 3: Chub was maybe one of the best in football.

1379
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 7: You figure out a way to make it work with

1380
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 7: Joe Flacco and you go for I mean, it's an

1381
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 7: incredible job by Stefanski this season, So don't take anything

1382
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 7: away from Demiko Ryans going from three wins to ten wins.

1383
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 7: The Texans done a great job this year, few as

1384
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:18,719
Speaker 7: turnovers in the league.

1385
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 3: But this matchup does not favor Houston.

1386
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 7: And I think it's tough to lay two and a

1387
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 7: half points on the road considering this was a minus

1388
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 7: three against case Keenan three weeks ago. But I think

1389
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 7: he has got to bet Cleveland in this game and

1390
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 7: hope that they can get over the hump.

1391
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, these two coaches might finish one two Yeah for

1392
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year with Tamiko Ryans and Stefanski. One

1393
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 2: thing that could benefit the Texans, it's crazy. The Browns

1394
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 2: have the league's most turnovers. They've got thirty seven. The

1395
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 2: Texans have the fewest at fourteen, and we all know

1396
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 2: the turnover battle can be a huge, huge deal right there,

1397
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 2: And as stuteley, as Joe Flacco has been coming off

1398
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 2: his couch from eating funians to back in the NFL

1399
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 2: at thirty eight years old, He'm gonna turn thirty nine

1400
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 2: next week. Like he's thrown an interception in every single appearance,

1401
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 2: and he threw two of them against the Texans when

1402
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 2: they played in the regular season. As great as he was,

1403
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,560
Speaker 2: he threw for three sixty eight in that game, but

1404
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 2: he threw a couple of picks. The turnover battle could

1405
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 2: you know, make a game tighter. It could make the Browns,

1406
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 2: you know, clinch a little bit more, right Like, I

1407
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 2: think he gotta try as best you can to not

1408
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 2: lose the turnover battle by you know, two three. If

1409
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 2: we're talking like that for the Browns, now, all of

1410
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,879
Speaker 2: a sudden, the Texans become live as a home underdog.

1411
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 2: But I hear you on everything that you said, Jared.

1412
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 2: That's why I like the Browns heading into this game.

1413
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 2: But that turnover battle, that is the great equalizer right there.

1414
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 6: I'm a big fan of Bobby Slowick and how he

1415
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 6: calls games because if you look at the reason why CJ.

1416
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 6: Stroud has had I had so much success against zone

1417
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 6: defenses is because they do a good job of forcing

1418
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 6: you to play them in zone defenses with a lot

1419
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 6: of the personnel packages they bring on the field. They're

1420
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 6: not the best run offense, but they show run enough

1421
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 6: both in actually rushing plays but also formationally. That it

1422
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 6: tricks your defensive coordinators, opposing defensive coordinators into playing more

1423
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 6: zone and so it adding players to the box, putting

1424
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 6: bigger personnel on the field to stuff the run. And

1425
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 6: this is all because of the influence Kyle Shanahan has

1426
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,640
Speaker 6: had on him. Kyle Shanahan is a mastermind with this,

1427
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 6: same with Sean McVay over the years. Like a lot

1428
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 6: of those close bunch sets, you know, everybody is huddled

1429
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 6: in close to the tackle box, and then all of

1430
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 6: a sudden you have Cooper Cup running a seam down

1431
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 6: the field.

1432
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: It's like, how do he get so open? Well, what

1433
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: does that look?

1434
01:10:55,479 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 6: So familiar to the Texans offense Nico Collins, you know,

1435
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,919
Speaker 6: middle of the field between the hash is easy throw.

1436
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 3: Game last week exactly seventy yards.

1437
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 6: So it's one of those problems that Houston presents that

1438
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 6: you have to figure out to make some sacrifices defensively

1439
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 6: and take some chances against some of these some of

1440
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 6: these some of these sets that they show offensively. And

1441
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,600
Speaker 6: that's the reason why he's been carving up his own defenses.

1442
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 6: It's because that's what they practice, that's what they face

1443
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 6: the majority of time. And you have to find a

1444
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 6: way to get them into a situation where they're chasing

1445
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 6: points so they can't so they can't rely on their

1446
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 6: run game as much. So it has to become a

1447
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:41,679
Speaker 6: little bit of Houston's chasing points. They're getting more receivers

1448
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 6: on the field, they're spreading things out a little bit more,

1449
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,600
Speaker 6: and they're really relying on CJ. Stroud to win the

1450
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,679
Speaker 6: game for them. That's what I would do. I would

1451
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 6: put all of the pressure on CJ. Stroud figuratively and literally.

1452
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 6: You know, you pressure them obviously with blitz packages and

1453
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 6: pass rush, but then also you put the pressure on

1454
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 6: them where if you you go up a score or

1455
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 6: two ten point lead at some point in this game,

1456
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 6: well then he's got to chase points and you're gonna

1457
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 6: take Houston out of the game they want to play.

1458
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1459
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 7: I love when we get the lather going with these

1460
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,600
Speaker 7: breakdowns because it just it just gets my mind in

1461
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 7: a good spot. Because I agree with you, Rich, I

1462
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 7: think Slowick. It just it was kind of a conservative

1463
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 7: game plan after the first half last week. They took

1464
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 7: a couple shots early and they just held on for

1465
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,719
Speaker 7: dear life. I don't think that's gonna work this week.

1466
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 7: It has to be aggressive from the jump, and because

1467
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 7: defensively on Houston side it's not looking good. Will Anderson

1468
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 7: barely played last week. I don't know if he's one

1469
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 7: hundred percent. You go look at the front of that

1470
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 7: Texans defensive line. It's a lot of o's and q's,

1471
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,759
Speaker 7: meaning outs and questionables, and it's just I trust Tamiko

1472
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 7: Ryans to have the right scheme, but does he have

1473
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 7: the right chess pieces on the board to execute that

1474
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 7: scheme against a Browns offense that can be a little

1475
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 7: bit multiple, especially with how they layer their receiving group.

1476
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 7: I mean, I love and joke over the middle is

1477
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 7: gonna be a matchup nightmare in this game. Bet all

1478
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 7: the props you want on on Djoku and obviously Amari Cooper,

1479
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 7: I mean he went absolutely Bizaria a two hundred fifty

1480
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 7: plus yards receiving the last time these two teams played.

1481
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 7: So I think the game script might matter a little

1482
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 7: bit for how Houston plays it. But if Bobby Slow

1483
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,839
Speaker 7: it's not very aggressive here, I think that is a mistake.

1484
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 7: You go back and look at last week, the Texans

1485
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 7: in the first half had a sixty four percent success rate.

1486
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 3: Against the Colts.

1487
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 7: It was explosive and then Gus Bradley made some adjustments

1488
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 7: at halftime and it was a barely win hold on

1489
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 7: for dear life game. Jim Schwartz is gonna have to

1490
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 7: be in a similar boat.

1491
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 3: We'll see what the initial game plan is.

1492
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 7: Jim Schwartz being the defensive coordinator for the Browns, I

1493
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 7: think he is capable of making good adjustments as well.

1494
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,639
Speaker 7: So maybe if the Texans do take a lead Brown

1495
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 7: second half. I think the price matters too. Like I

1496
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 7: don't want to lay three with Cleveland. They were a

1497
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 7: three point favorite against the Texans three weeks ago with

1498
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 7: case Keenum.

1499
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 3: Now it's the same price with CJ. Stroud.

1500
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 7: Right, it's like that Dolphins game. Price getting a little

1501
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 7: bit weird here. But I still like the Browns matchups.

1502
01:13:59,040 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 1: O's and Q.

1503
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 2: I like that out questionable, very well done. And we've

1504
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 2: got Rich Herenberger and d Yeah, I don't want the

1505
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 2: ds either. You got Rich Hornberger, Penn State all American.

1506
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 2: We've got Jared Smith FSR betting analyst. I'm Brian now

1507
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 2: all right, coming up, this is where we bond. Huh,

1508
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 2: It's not justin Field's talk and crazy advants rich Oh

1509
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 2: wanting to bring it bring him back. No, it's from

1510
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:25,839
Speaker 2: future Hall of Famer.

1511
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 7: I might be changing my mind on Justin Fields after

1512
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 7: last week. Guys, I think I'm I'm on the.

1513
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: Brian Good I'm glad you're on the right side.

1533
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 2: Ah, that's how I feel when we're talking about props here,

1534
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 2: Jared will start with you.

1535
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 5: What do you like?

1536
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 1: Man?

1537
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:43,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, I like a lot of props in this game,

1538
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:46,719
Speaker 7: especially if it starts with Witch.

1539
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:48,479
Speaker 1: Gay Dolphins, and you like a lot of overs in

1540
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: the doin.

1541
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 7: A lot of overs, a lot of Djoku props in

1542
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 7: the Browns Texans games. But I will give you, officially

1543
01:15:57,200 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 7: for the show over five and a half receptions. He

1544
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 7: had at least six in four straight games and seven

1545
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 7: of the last eight, and the Texans defense allows the

1546
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 7: second most targets to tight end.

1547
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,680
Speaker 3: So we're gonna take it a step further. Not only

1548
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 3: am I gonna.

1549
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 7: Bet over five and a half receptions, which is basically

1550
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:14,759
Speaker 7: minus one ten.

1551
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 3: But we're also gonna bet a ladder receptions. We're gonna

1552
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 3: climb the ladder.

1553
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, We're getting a seven receptions plus one

1554
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 7: fifty five eight receptions is plus two to ninety and

1555
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:27,679
Speaker 7: a nine catch game.

1556
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 3: For my guy, David and Joku five to one.

1557
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 1: Climb the ladder. David, Wow, I like that a lot.

1558
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 6: Okay, So I'm gonna do complimentary picks here because I'm

1559
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 6: really focused on this Browns Texans matchup this weekend. And

1560
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 6: if you look at if you look at the game

1561
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 6: in simple terms, who do you think is gonna win,

1562
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:50,839
Speaker 6: Who do you think is gonna lose, Who's gonna advance,

1563
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 6: Who's going home? I got the Browns, So if I

1564
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 6: have the Browns, it means that I feel like they're

1565
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 6: going to be running the football toward the end of

1566
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 6: the game. So Jerome hitting the over forty two and

1567
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 6: a half rushing yards feels good.

1568
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: Okay, Now I said it before. The best way to

1569
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 1: get C. J.

1570
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 6: Stroud uncomfortable is to get him off his spot and

1571
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:13,640
Speaker 6: get him chasing points and get him to throw the

1572
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:15,280
Speaker 6: football and put the game in his hands. If he's

1573
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 6: gonna be throwing the football out, he's gonna be accruing

1574
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 6: a lot of passing yards. So I like the over

1575
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 6: on the two forty eight and a hook passing yards.

1576
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 6: So give me Ford going over his rushing total, give

1577
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:28,600
Speaker 6: me Stroud over his passing yardage total.

1578
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 5: And give me a win this weekend.

1579
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, I'm gonna look at the Rams here. Okay,

1580
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 2: need our Lions guy Chris Burfett to close his ears,

1581
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 2: oh boy, for just about twenty seconds or so. All right, No, no, no,

1582
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the Stafford over here. Two seventy five

1583
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 2: and a half. I just I don't love this Lion's

1584
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 2: pass defense and Stafford in a familiar building, been a

1585
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 2: lot of time there over a decade going up against

1586
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 2: the Lions. I think that he's gonna have a lot

1587
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 2: of success. And the Lions, who have the number two

1588
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 2: ranked rush defense, I think that they're gonna slow down

1589
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 2: Kyron Williams a bit. But the Ram's gonna have to

1590
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 2: lean on Stafford a lot, and I think he'll be

1591
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 2: up for the test. I've got him over too. Seventy

1592
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 2: five and a half in what could be an absolute shootout, yeah,

1593
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 2: between the Rams and the and the Lions on Sunday night.

1594
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 7: I'm torn on that game. I really am, like honestly,

1595
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,600
Speaker 7: and that's why I asked U Shamus about it. Like,

1596
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 7: I think that game, the game script will matter a lot,

1597
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,520
Speaker 7: and I just can't predict.

1598
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 5: What the game.

1599
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 3: I don't know what the game script is gonna be.

1600
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:40,680
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1601
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 3: It is a tough handicap that one. That's the one

1602
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 3: game this week I have zero feel for.

1603
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, really wow? The one game?

1604
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 6: Huh?

1605
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: Interesting? Okay?

1606
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,639
Speaker 2: We got a lot more to get to right around

1607
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 2: the corner, including It's been a great start for this

1608
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 2: young gun.

1609
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 1: Can't he keep it going?

1610
01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 5: Though?

1611
01:18:58,479 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 12: Oh?

1612
01:18:58,680 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 5: What is going on?

1613
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:04,680
Speaker 2: Everybody's Super wild Card weekend begins today, hopefully with the

1614
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 2: Finns nightcap victory on Pea Crock.

1615
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 6: Huh?

1616
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 1: Did I get an amen?

1617
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 2: Can? I?

1618
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 6: No?

1619
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 5: A lot of people borrowing signings?

1620
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:14,599
Speaker 1: Amen, Amen, Amen?

1621
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 3: Amen.

1622
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 7: I did tease the Dolphins up to fourteen and a half,

1623
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 7: so I am team Brian.

1624
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:22,680
Speaker 1: Note, wow, something more than fourteen something right there?

1625
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 5: Okay, So what did you how'd you tease it to

1626
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 5: forty fourteen and a half?

1627
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 3: I did a ten point teaser earlier in the week.

1628
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 7: I took the Browns from minus two and a half

1629
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 7: to plus seven and a half, okay, and we took

1630
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,600
Speaker 7: the Dolphins up it was four It was four and

1631
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 7: a half at the time. I went to fourteen and

1632
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 7: a half, and then we did a Bills from ten

1633
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 7: down to a pick them now that's actually at nine,

1634
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 7: so you can get a plus one on Buffalo won't matter,

1635
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 7: but yeah, ten point t I love the meg So

1636
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 7: I also did a thirteen point teaser with all six

1637
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 7: games that I can give you later if you want.

1638
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 3: Oh the Mega teas Super Mega teaser.

1639
01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:00,599
Speaker 1: For Super wild Card Weekend, Wiki weekend. Do you take

1640
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: the Packers? What plus?

1641
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 5: What would it be?

1642
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Seventeen?

1643
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 3: I'm moving the Packers up to twenty in the Mega season.

1644
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, take the Cowboys plus three if you

1645
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 2: want to go that way.

1646
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's not a bad option either.

1647
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you dive into this Packers Cowboys matchup. So

1648
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 2: that's tomorrow. The Cowboys at home have been fantastic. They've

1649
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 2: won sixteen straight home games. This is staggering to me.

1650
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 2: The last time they lost at home was Week one

1651
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two against Tampa. That was Brady rw

1652
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 2: That was a Brady game in Week one and this

1653
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 2: year the Cowboys this season, they've won six of their

1654
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:49,679
Speaker 2: eight home wins were by at least twenty points.

1655
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: So not only have they won at home, they're undefeated.

1656
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 2: They have whacked a lot of teams at home, and

1657
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 2: I love the quarterback matchup one two in touchdown passes.

1658
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:03,799
Speaker 2: Dak led the league with thirty six. You've got Jordan

1659
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 2: Love with thirty two. I just want to know if

1660
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 2: that Packers defense can begin to slow down the Cowboys

1661
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:14,679
Speaker 2: because they were awful. The only thing that could help

1662
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 2: them was justin fields. But they've been awful down the stretch,

1663
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:21,560
Speaker 2: and I think they're gonna have their work cutout for

1664
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 2: them against Dallas. That offense at home is tough to stop.

1665
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, the Cowboys with a lead

1666
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 2: and that pass rush, that is a dangerous team playing

1667
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:33,759
Speaker 2: from ahead.

1668
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: And I expect them to be ahead against Green Bay

1669
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:36,760
Speaker 1: in this one.

1670
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you. I like Dallas in this game.

1671
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 6: I love them at home for all the reasons you

1672
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 6: just described, but I'll add.

1673
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:46,840
Speaker 1: A wrinkle here.

1674
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 6: You know, offensively, for the Cowboys, over the course of

1675
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:55,679
Speaker 6: their season, they've been obviously much more comfortable at home.

1676
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 6: And it's because, for whatever reason, Ceedee Lamb is much

1677
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:03,559
Speaker 6: more comfortable at home when when they're playing when they're

1678
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 6: playing at Jerry's World, his numbers are bonkers, his home

1679
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 6: splits are insane. He is the thumping heart of the

1680
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys now and his production is almost unmatched. When

1681
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 6: you when you really start looking at some of the

1682
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 6: low red zone numbers, he's uh, he's He's a real

1683
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 6: weapon for Dak and Mike McCarthy credit to him. You know,

1684
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 6: there are times where a receiver can get categorized as

1685
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 6: a diva, and I think maybe Ceedee Lamb was heading

1686
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 6: down that path earlier this season when Jamar Chase started

1687
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 6: started chirping with the rough start that Cincinnati was having

1688
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 6: and talking about how he's not the problem. Well, Ceedee Lamb,

1689
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 6: he kind of piggybacked on that. He's like, well, I'm

1690
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 6: certainly not the problem here in Dallas, you know, like

1691
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 6: I'm I'm the answer. They just haven't.

1692
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 5: They haven't scribbled the right answer on the page yet.

1693
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: And they started to.

1694
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 6: They started stretching the field vertically with him more and

1695
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 6: also targeting him down near the end zone, and I

1696
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 6: think it was a great change that they made. He

1697
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 6: is becoming one of the preeminent route runners in the league.

1698
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 6: He does a nice job setting himself up for success

1699
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 6: in short spaces and if he's going i mean, if

1700
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 6: he's going off the way, he has at home, then

1701
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 6: Dallas should sail through this game, because I just don't

1702
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 6: know if the Green Bay Packers can chase the sort

1703
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 6: of numbers that Dallas can put up in a hurry,

1704
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 6: especially when they're featuring CD Lamb like I assume they will.

1705
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, Cowboys at home, different animal. They've won sixteen straight

1706
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,720
Speaker 7: home games. It's pretty impressive. And the Packers, you want

1707
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 7: to talk about impressive. The youngest team in the NFL

1708
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:45,440
Speaker 7: this year and the youngest team to make the playoffs

1709
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 7: since the nineteen seventy four Buffalo Bills and a very

1710
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 7: different NFL back then, where I'm sure the players were

1711
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 7: just younger to begin with. The average age of the

1712
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 7: Packers this year is twenty five point seven, so the

1713
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,799
Speaker 7: NFL is getting younger by the year, and the Packers

1714
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:05,680
Speaker 7: are kind of the poster child for how you can

1715
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 7: have success with less experience. But what did I say

1716
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 7: about the CJ. Stroud situation. Rookie quarterbacks in the postseason

1717
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 7: haven't done well. I know Jordan Love's not a rookie,

1718
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 7: but this is his first postseason start, and historically speaking,

1719
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 7: those quarterbacks have not fared well in those debuts. Whereas

1720
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott obviously has played in a lot of postseason games,

1721
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:28,479
Speaker 7: is at varying success, but at least he has had

1722
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:32,640
Speaker 7: the experience, so tough environment, right, tough spot. Maybe the

1723
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 7: Packers don't know how you know, right, they're not afraid

1724
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 7: of the moment because they just they're too young to

1725
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,799
Speaker 7: realize how big the moment is. But the Cowboys defense

1726
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 7: has kind of given, I think, an opportunity here.

1727
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 3: So if you look down the stretch, the.

1728
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 7: Cowboys post by have been about a bottom ten defense

1729
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 7: inefficiency and the only reason that they're surviving is because

1730
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 7: they're number one and pressure rate, and that is important.

1731
01:24:55,600 --> 01:25:00,200
Speaker 7: The Packers offensive line is formidable though number two fast

1732
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 7: block win rate this year. I think the Jordan Love

1733
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 7: growth since Thanksgiving. He's the number two quarterback and a

1734
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 7: lot of the efficiency metrics that I look at, the

1735
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 7: ball's coming out quicker.

1736
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 3: The young receivers Reed.

1737
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:13,679
Speaker 7: Dobbs, Melton Watson wis like they've got a decent stable

1738
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 7: and they've got Aaron Jones, who I think is the

1739
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 7: glue that holds it all together. So offensively, I can

1740
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:23,880
Speaker 7: see the Packers having success in this game. Defensively, that's

1741
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:27,679
Speaker 7: another story entirely Joe Berry through a curveball last week

1742
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 7: went with a lot of man coverage against the Bears,

1743
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 7: and it really confused Justin Fields, who already holds onto

1744
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 7: the ball too long, and he held on it but

1745
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,719
Speaker 7: even longer. I just I don't think that's gonna confuse

1746
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott as much. And I just think this is

1747
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 7: a tough matchup on the defensive side.

1748
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 3: Of the ball for the Packers. Can they create a turnover? Sure?

1749
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:46,640
Speaker 7: Can Mike McCarthy you know, defecate down his leg, absolutely,

1750
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 7: But I just don't see a lot of scenarios where

1751
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:51,600
Speaker 7: a Packers defense wins them this game. It's gonna have

1752
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 7: to be Jordan Love and the Cowboys losing it. If

1753
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 7: if Green Bay wants to have a chance.

1754
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you mentioned the Mike McCarthy Bowl, Yeah, going

1755
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:02,599
Speaker 2: up again. Oh yeah, squad. So that's an interesting little

1756
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 2: subplot right there. But man, we're talking about all these

1757
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 2: job openings in the NFL, eight of them right now,

1758
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 2: right now, right Like, yeah, there are a couple of

1759
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 2: teams that if they are one and done, I would

1760
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 2: not be surprised if there is a change there. How

1761
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 2: about this, If you look at take a step back

1762
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 2: from but not completely from the Cowboys and the Packers.

1763
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 2: Keep them both in mind. If you look at the

1764
01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 2: biggest threats to the one seeds in each conference, let's

1765
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 2: start with the NFC. Which team would you say is

1766
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 2: the biggest threat to take down the forty nine ers?

1767
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:43,879
Speaker 5: The Rams go to rich Yeah.

1768
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 6: You have a Look, you have a division rival, you

1769
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,760
Speaker 6: have a super Bowl winning quarterback, you have a super

1770
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 6: Bowl winning coach who has been to multiple Super Bowls.

1771
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 6: You have a real and I mean a real defense.

1772
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:01,560
Speaker 6: They're kids around Aaron Donald, but Aaron Donald is a

1773
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 6: supreme talent at what he does, and he's led that

1774
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:08,680
Speaker 6: defense this season just like in seasons past, and then

1775
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:12,640
Speaker 6: it's just a veteran group in terms of playoff experience.

1776
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 6: So if there's a team that poses a great threat

1777
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 6: as an underdog heading into a matchup which could come

1778
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 6: as soon as this divisional round.

1779
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,639
Speaker 1: I think it's Yeah, I think it's the Los Angeles Reps.

1780
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree. I think that is a very interesting matchup.

1781
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 7: Shanahan and McVay. You know, that's been a tale as

1782
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 7: old as time. I'll take the chalk answer here and

1783
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 7: say it's Dallas just because of how complete of a

1784
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 7: roster they are. I think the Rams defense would really

1785
01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 7: struggle to stop the Niners offense, whereas I can see

1786
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 7: Purdy having some issues with this pass rush. Although the Rams,

1787
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 7: you know, you want to talk about Aaron Donald pulling

1788
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 7: out a rabbit from his hat and having one last

1789
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 7: run at it, like that is the right move. There

1790
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 7: is definitely going to be a game that the night.

1791
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 7: Like they have to play two games in the NFC

1792
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 7: playoffs in order to make the super Bowl.

1793
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 3: I don't see them both going blowout City. I think

1794
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a tight one in there.

1795
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 7: But like, would anything outside of maybe the Bills losing

1796
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 7: this week really surprise you guys, Like with the Packers

1797
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 7: going into Dallas and winning, would that really surprise you?

1798
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 1: Yes, it would surprise me.

1799
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 3: We've been down on.

1800
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 7: Green Bay all year, though I have they wouldn't surprise

1801
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 7: me based on the line movement. Everyone's on Dallas line

1802
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 7: went from seven and a half to seven yesterday, So

1803
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 7: wouldn't surprise I mean, I think there's some money on

1804
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 7: green Bay in this game.

1805
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:39,960
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna win, but I think there's

1806
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 3: some money on green Bay in this game.

1807
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would go with Rams. I think the Rams

1808
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 2: are the biggest threat to the Niners.

1809
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:45,719
Speaker 3: I think I see.

1810
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:48,520
Speaker 1: Division rivals.

1811
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,799
Speaker 2: Sean McVay has fared very very well in that matchup

1812
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 2: against Kyle Shanahan.

1813
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, you talk about firepower.

1814
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 3: I don't lay either, guys, I don't.

1815
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't.

1816
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 3: That's why I think Dallas wouldn't surprise me if they lose.

1817
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 3: Trust McCarty.

1818
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 1: Okay, how about the AFC. Who is this one's threat

1819
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: to the Ravens.

1820
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:12,400
Speaker 6: This one's the Browns again, another divisional rival, another Super

1821
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 6: Bowl winning quarterback, another coach who I believe is underrated

1822
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:23,760
Speaker 6: in terms of how he coaches situations. I mean, if

1823
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 6: you think about the Cleveland Browns defense and special teams

1824
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 6: and some of the end of the game decisions with

1825
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 6: Kevin Stefanski, he's rarely cited as one of those coaches

1826
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 6: who screws up situations, and that is so important in

1827
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 6: the postseason. Like, you know, for everything we're saying about Dallas,

1828
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 6: Yeah great in close games, Do you trust Mike McCarthy, No.

1829
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:48,560
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. And there's a lot of

1830
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:49,240
Speaker 1: coaches like that.

1831
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 6: Look around the NFL, there's a lot of coaches you

1832
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 6: know Andy Reid, Andy Reid. There have been a lot

1833
01:29:57,160 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 6: of games where we've gone, what is he doing mismanaging

1834
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 6: the clock? You remember that first half against the Bengals.

1835
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 6: Was that last postseason? Yeah, it was the first half

1836
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,600
Speaker 6: against the Bengals where they didn't score. Going into the

1837
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 6: locker room, it looked like the game was gonna be over.

1838
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:17,000
Speaker 6: And then Mahomes went on a heater in the second

1839
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 6: half and they found a way. But but there's just

1840
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 6: there's these moments where you need to have a guy

1841
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 6: who can keep his head on and make the right choice.

1842
01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 6: And I think Stefanski's that guy. So yeah, if there's

1843
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 6: a team who I think has a chance to knock

1844
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:35,479
Speaker 6: off the Ravens at some point, it is the Cleveland Browns.

1845
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 7: If you do it based off of quarterbacks, you gotta

1846
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:43,520
Speaker 7: say Buffalo. But I just it goes back to McDermott,

1847
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:45,800
Speaker 7: like I just I don't I don't trust these guys

1848
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 7: in these spots, like they've shown like their cards. I've

1849
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:53,599
Speaker 7: seen their cards. We've played poker at them with them

1850
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:57,919
Speaker 7: before in prior postseasons. When these games get high stakes,

1851
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 7: they fold quick. And I think Stefanski makes sense in

1852
01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:05,639
Speaker 7: terms of the best coach. I think he's the best

1853
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 7: coach in the AFC. I think the personnel with Flacco

1854
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:13,479
Speaker 7: might be what holds them back, right, Like, I don't

1855
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:15,519
Speaker 7: I don't see Like when I close my eyes and

1856
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 7: view the Super Bowl matchup, I don't see.

1857
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:21,040
Speaker 3: Flacco in there. But I'm wrong all the time.

1858
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 7: And man Stefanski's I can see him out coaching everyone

1859
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 7: down the stretch.

1860
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 3: He's kind of done it this year.

1861
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,720
Speaker 7: I mean, just think about Stefan, Like, this same thing

1862
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:34,760
Speaker 7: happened to the Jets, the exact same thing. Great defense,

1863
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:39,800
Speaker 7: quarterback gets hurt. What happened very different direction for the

1864
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:43,759
Speaker 7: Jets than the Browns, same exact situation. And that's coaching.

1865
01:31:43,880 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 7: That's the ability to pull you know, chicken excrement and

1866
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 7: make it in the chicken salad. I mean that that

1867
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 7: is what Kevin Sevanski did this year. So yeah, sure, Browns,

1868
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:53,600
Speaker 7: why not?

1869
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:58,360
Speaker 1: You know it's funny, man, I think it's the Chiefs.

1870
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:00,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's talking about him?

1871
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 12: Right?

1872
01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:01,479
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1873
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 1: They're the defending champs. Yeah right, they won the Super.

1874
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,680
Speaker 2: Bowl last season, and I get it they have their

1875
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 2: issues in terms of the drops, but think about that

1876
01:32:12,320 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 2: in terms of your issues and what's correctable or not.

1877
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 2: I would rather be struggling with drops and that's bitten

1878
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 2: them before, it's cost them a couple of games, right, yep,

1879
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:25,360
Speaker 2: But I would rather struggle in that department.

1880
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 1: Then we just can't stop the rush to save our

1881
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:29,599
Speaker 1: lives or right, like our.

1882
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:32,479
Speaker 2: Past defense is our secondary is trash like the Chiefs

1883
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:34,599
Speaker 2: correct itself.

1884
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, and also not for nothing, I cited Joe Flacco

1885
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:39,919
Speaker 6: as a super Bowl winning quarterback?

1886
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:41,759
Speaker 5: What was that when Obama is in office?

1887
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:46,479
Speaker 6: Like I mean, Patrick Mahomes has won and gone to three,

1888
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:50,280
Speaker 6: He's won two, he's gone to three, like I mean, yeah, yeah,

1889
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 6: I mean, of course the Chiefs it's like hid it

1890
01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:56,800
Speaker 6: in play in sight this season. So that's a good pull, Brian,

1891
01:32:56,960 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 6: And and I think it is unfre to count out

1892
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 6: Kansas City. And look, I've I know you're a Dolphins fan.

1893
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 6: I know this probably you know, maybe cup your ears

1894
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:10,719
Speaker 6: for this one, But I mean I got them sailing

1895
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:12,599
Speaker 6: frankly through this first round.

1896
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:16,200
Speaker 1: I just think, hey, hey, I know, I know. I mean,

1897
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 1: I just see the Dolphins kind of run.

1898
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:20,720
Speaker 5: It's almost like are we gonna make it to the

1899
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:22,760
Speaker 5: gas station? And then all of a sudden you're on.

1900
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:25,280
Speaker 1: The bridge and you're like, oh, yeah, you're.

1901
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:26,719
Speaker 3: When you're yeah, yeah, I've done that before.

1902
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:29,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then and then you gotta stop bridge traffic

1903
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:32,200
Speaker 6: because your car is pulled over in the right lane.

1904
01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:32,880
Speaker 12: You know, like.

1905
01:33:34,439 --> 01:33:36,600
Speaker 2: I was thinking you were going the opposite way. I

1906
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:39,519
Speaker 2: thought you were like, now, Brian, I've actually I'm gonna

1907
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:41,400
Speaker 2: go against the grain here fins up.

1908
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 1: That's what I was expecting, and you were like, oh, no,

1909
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:45,639
Speaker 1: boat Race City.

1910
01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 3: Really interesting numbers with the Chiefs too, guys.

1911
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 7: I mean they you want to talk about longevity so

1912
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 7: they can join the Patriots and the Cowboys ninety one

1913
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:57,120
Speaker 7: through ninety six, Cowboys twenty eleven, twenty eighteen, Patriots the

1914
01:33:57,280 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 7: only teams to win a playoff game in six straight years.

1915
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:05,040
Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's impressive, Like, like that's longevity right there.

1916
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 7: And yeah, I I I kind of I guess I

1917
01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:12,519
Speaker 7: need to see what the matchups are. I know this

1918
01:34:12,640 --> 01:34:15,840
Speaker 7: a cop out answer, but I I want to know who.

1919
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,559
Speaker 7: Like if it is Rams Niners, then then yeah, that's

1920
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:21,200
Speaker 7: a lot tougher I think for the Niners than Rams Lions.

1921
01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 7: And if that's if that ends up being the game,

1922
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:24,639
Speaker 7: and I don't know how the seedings will work out,

1923
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:27,040
Speaker 7: but you kind of get my point. Like if if

1924
01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:30,400
Speaker 7: one of those teams upsets the Apple card a little

1925
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 7: bit and makes it into that championship game like a RAMS,

1926
01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 7: that could pose.

1927
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:35,240
Speaker 3: A very different threat.

1928
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 7: Same thing with the Chiefs. No one's talking about the

1929
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 7: Chiefs making a super run right now, Like nobody.

1930
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 12: I know it.

1931
01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:40,799
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

1932
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:48,439
Speaker 2: You got a real defense mahomes Andy Reid, Yeah, yeah,

1933
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:51,280
Speaker 2: I know it. I know it's book man.

1934
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:55,080
Speaker 1: That's the that's the.

1935
01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:58,400
Speaker 5: Right there, that's the right there.

1936
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got Rich Orenberger, Penn State All American, Jared

1937
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:06,120
Speaker 2: Smith FSR betting analyst. I'm Brian no coming up next.

1938
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:12,200
Speaker 2: Nobody saw this happening, and it has happened, and it

1939
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 2: might continue to happen.

1940
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 1: More on that.

1941
01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:16,439
Speaker 2: Right around the corner, it is Fox Sports Radios Countdown

1942
01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:20,240
Speaker 2: to Kickoff presented by bet MGM. It is Fox Sports

1943
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:26,599
Speaker 2: Radios Countdown to Kickoff presented by bet MGM. Man when

1944
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:32,519
Speaker 2: the Eagles were ten and one, who saw them losing

1945
01:35:32,720 --> 01:35:37,760
Speaker 2: five of their next six, Nick Siriani, if they lose

1946
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:41,320
Speaker 2: to Tampa, he might be done as the head coach

1947
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:46,240
Speaker 2: in Philly. It's crazy like when they went to ten

1948
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:50,120
Speaker 2: and one, they had three straight wins against the Cowboys, Chiefs,

1949
01:35:50,240 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 2: and Bills. And the Eagles have lost five and six

1950
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 2: and haven't just lost, They've looked freaking terrible. And now

1951
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:02,639
Speaker 2: you get Tampa with no Aj Brown, You've got Jalen

1952
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:06,719
Speaker 2: Hurts with the messed up middle finger on his throwing hand,

1953
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:10,479
Speaker 2: it was dislocated last week. And then you've got DeVante

1954
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 2: Smith with an ankle injury. It's insane what's happened to

1955
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,800
Speaker 2: the Eagles this year. If anybody would have predicted this

1956
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 2: when they were ten and one, everyone would have been like,

1957
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:21,599
Speaker 2: that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

1958
01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:24,280
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what's happened.

1959
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:27,800
Speaker 6: You know what, though, how crazy, how crazy was it

1960
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,280
Speaker 6: when they were ten and one to say they were

1961
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 6: gonna have a rough stretch to finish the season, because

1962
01:36:33,800 --> 01:36:35,639
Speaker 6: I felt like we were all waiting for the other

1963
01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:38,840
Speaker 6: shoe to drop the whole season long. It felt like

1964
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:42,639
Speaker 6: they're holding this thing together with bubblegum and paper clips.

1965
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 6: It felt like they were macgyvering this thing. In fact,

1966
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:49,240
Speaker 6: Nick Sirianni, if they would have finished the season strong,

1967
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:51,479
Speaker 6: I would have given him a lot of credit. For

1968
01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:53,960
Speaker 6: not allowing the wheels to fall off, because it just

1969
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:58,280
Speaker 6: felt like they were sneaking by. So I get what

1970
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 6: you're saying. And I I know on paper, when you

1971
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:06,519
Speaker 6: see ten and one, especially retrospectively, you feel like, wow,

1972
01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 6: that's such a strong record. But it didn't feel like

1973
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 6: a strong ten and one at all. It felt like

1974
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:14,280
Speaker 6: a very It felt like the foundation was built on

1975
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,720
Speaker 6: sand and you were waiting waiting for this building to collapse. Man.

1976
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,400
Speaker 2: But to see it like this though, and that's on

1977
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:23,759
Speaker 2: the heels of a Super Bowl appearance, being ten.

1978
01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 7: And one, I think it's a lot of it's the injuries.

1979
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:29,320
Speaker 7: A lot of it's the two brains that left town

1980
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 7: Stichen and Gannon. But but let's let's go through it, right,

1981
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:34,800
Speaker 7: Let's let's piece it together, because this is what we

1982
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:36,760
Speaker 7: do on the show, right, giving you the information you

1983
01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:38,320
Speaker 7: need to watch your favorite team wins.

1984
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 6: Here you go.

1985
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:41,640
Speaker 7: They are the sixth team in history to make the

1986
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:44,360
Speaker 7: playoffs after losing five of six down the stretch.

1987
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 3: Six teams the prior five have not won more than

1988
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:52,440
Speaker 3: one playoff game. So if you think the Eagles.

1989
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,560
Speaker 7: Are going to go on this magical run here and

1990
01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 7: rekindle the magic in the flame. The prior five teams

1991
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 7: that have ruggle dis mightily down the stretch, they've all

1992
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 7: been one win and out or one and done, and

1993
01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:08,519
Speaker 7: I think that is noteworthy. Now you go into the game,

1994
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:12,679
Speaker 7: poor boy. So three losses down the stretch to non

1995
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 7: playoff teams Seahawks, Cardinals, Giants. Very lucky in week nine

1996
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:20,320
Speaker 7: beating Dallas. Right, that was the Dak Prescott foot out

1997
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 7: of bounds game where Dallas could have easily won that game.

1998
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,800
Speaker 7: Then they go into the bye week, very lucky win

1999
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:28,400
Speaker 7: against Kansas City where the receiver dropped the ball in

2000
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:31,680
Speaker 7: the end zone. Very lucky beating Buffalo in overtime. That

2001
01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 7: game could have gone either way. Then they got crushed

2002
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:37,280
Speaker 7: by the Niners. They got crushed by the Cowboys. They

2003
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:40,719
Speaker 7: lost to a subpar Sehawks team with Drew Lockett quarterback.

2004
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 7: Did cover against the Giants and Tommy Devido in round one,

2005
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:46,800
Speaker 7: lost to the Cardinals and Kyler Murray. Then lost to

2006
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 7: the Giants and Tyrod Taylor in round two. I mean,

2007
01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:53,760
Speaker 7: where is the positive performance there where you're like, yep,

2008
01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 7: that's the game where the Eagles are showing us they've

2009
01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:56,720
Speaker 7: got it.

2010
01:38:57,439 --> 01:39:00,439
Speaker 3: It's been like two months of this, So I don't

2011
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 3: know how you're going.

2012
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 7: To magically snap your fingers. You've got your quarterback in

2013
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 7: a splint. Aj Brown is out. Like it's not looking

2014
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 7: good on the Philly side, But you're facing the relegated

2015
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 7: NFC South that probably doesn't deserve to have a posted spot,

2016
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:17,639
Speaker 7: and you're facing Baker Mayfield, who I think is kind

2017
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:19,720
Speaker 7: of like the walking wounded on the other side. So

2018
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 7: the injuries are the are the great equalizer here for

2019
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:25,639
Speaker 7: Baker in the Bucks.

2020
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:27,639
Speaker 3: But man, it's not looking pretty for Philly.

2021
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 2: To me, it's like it's a reminder in the NFL

2022
01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 2: that it doesn't take much and it can happen fast.

2023
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:35,960
Speaker 1: Yep.

2024
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:38,320
Speaker 2: Because you look at the Eagles again, they were in

2025
01:39:38,400 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. They were going toe to toe with

2026
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 2: Mahomes and the Chiefs. They lost by a field goal.

2027
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:47,280
Speaker 2: They were a defensive holding penalty away from maybe getting

2028
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:50,519
Speaker 2: a final drive in winning that thing. Yeah, and you

2029
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 2: look at James Bradberry. He's a great example. He was

2030
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 2: the guy who was holding on that play and this

2031
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:59,920
Speaker 2: season he has been a wreck. And you look at

2032
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:02,800
Speaker 2: that Seahawks game that you just talked about, Jared, That's

2033
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 2: all they did was like, fine, twenty four to throw

2034
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 2: it to whatever receiver he's trying to guard and failing miserably,

2035
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:11,520
Speaker 2: and Drew Locke just carved.

2036
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 1: Him up all the way down the field.

2037
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 2: So you look at the Eagles being a super Bowl

2038
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 2: team last season, being ten to one, and it hasn't

2039
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:23,920
Speaker 2: been just dolphin like injuries, you know, and you're like, well,

2040
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 2: that's it, Like they still are relatively healthy. Yeah, at

2041
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,640
Speaker 2: least they just lost aj Brown for this matchup, but

2042
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 2: they've been healthy down the stretch. They still lost five

2043
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:38,080
Speaker 2: of six, and it's just amazing how quickly things can

2044
01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:41,240
Speaker 2: change when it doesn't take a whole lot for that

2045
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:43,920
Speaker 2: to be the case. And the Eagles are a living,

2046
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:45,160
Speaker 2: breathing example of that.

2047
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:49,280
Speaker 6: Well, and it shows you the tenuous nature of the NFL.

2048
01:40:49,479 --> 01:40:52,800
Speaker 6: But if Nick Sirianni, on the other side of a

2049
01:40:52,960 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 6: potential loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, gets fired, well,

2050
01:40:57,840 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 6: then it also shows you a showcase is the tenuous

2051
01:41:01,160 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 6: nature of coaching in the NFL these days, because everything

2052
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:07,840
Speaker 6: you just said is true, and then throw on top

2053
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:10,320
Speaker 6: of it the fact that you can actually and you

2054
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:14,840
Speaker 6: would be legitimately correct, factoring in bad luck to this

2055
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:19,320
Speaker 6: equation and he could still lose his job after taking

2056
01:41:19,400 --> 01:41:22,559
Speaker 6: a team to a super Bowl and inarguably like if

2057
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,400
Speaker 6: the MVP of the Super Bowl was actually given to

2058
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:29,280
Speaker 6: the most valuable player on the field. He coached Jalen Hurts,

2059
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:31,479
Speaker 6: who was the MVP last year in that Super Bowl.

2060
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:32,440
Speaker 5: He was incredible.

2061
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 6: The only reason why the Philadelphia Eagles had a chance

2062
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:38,679
Speaker 6: at that game in that win was because he played

2063
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:41,080
Speaker 6: the game of his life, in the most important game

2064
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 6: of his life. Unfortunately lost. So I don't love that

2065
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:52,080
Speaker 6: storyline for the NFL because I appreciate consistency. I appreciate

2066
01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:56,120
Speaker 6: culture building. I appreciate the leash that the Detroit Lions

2067
01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:59,160
Speaker 6: gave Dan Campbell to build his culture.

2068
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: I appreciate the.

2069
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:03,639
Speaker 6: Length of contract the Houston Texans signed with the Miko

2070
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:07,439
Speaker 6: Ryans to to help him, you know, foster some trust

2071
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:10,200
Speaker 6: amongst the roster and free agents who might be interested

2072
01:42:10,240 --> 01:42:12,639
Speaker 6: in coming to Texans to build a culture.

2073
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 5: I don't I don't like this shoot from the hip.

2074
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:18,160
Speaker 6: Hey, you know we're gonna we're gonna switch head coaches

2075
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 6: every three years regardless of success, because it's not it's.

2076
01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:25,000
Speaker 1: Not good for players, it's not good for quarterbacks.

2077
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 6: It's not good for young skill position players, it isn't

2078
01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:31,599
Speaker 6: good for defenders. It's just going to continue to suppress

2079
01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:36,280
Speaker 6: the the talent we have in the NFL. If we

2080
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:38,960
Speaker 6: keep having the guards switch at the top, you know,

2081
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 6: like we change underwear, it's crazy.

2082
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:46,120
Speaker 7: I agree, it is wild that we are going from

2083
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 7: Nick Sirianni in this perch to now on the outs.

2084
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:54,080
Speaker 7: But let's be honest. It stands for not for long, right,

2085
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:57,640
Speaker 7: That's what the NFL means. And Nick was given an opportunity.

2086
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 7: His two top lieutenant's both bolted Town for head coaching jobs,

2087
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:06,720
Speaker 7: well deserved. Jonathan Gannages to Arizona. Let's be honest, no

2088
01:43:06,760 --> 01:43:08,800
Speaker 7: one expected them to win a game. They won four,

2089
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,120
Speaker 7: maybe should have been five if Matt Prater could make

2090
01:43:11,160 --> 01:43:13,559
Speaker 7: a kick there down the stretch. On the other side,

2091
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:16,479
Speaker 7: Shane Steichen one game away from the playoffs. Like it

2092
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 7: just I think it shows what the Eagles really had

2093
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 7: and what they lost because this year it has been

2094
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:27,640
Speaker 7: a struggle to find that consistency because of the two

2095
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:30,519
Speaker 7: brightest minds on the coaching staff both left town, and

2096
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 7: it was on Sirianni.

2097
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 3: To replace them.

2098
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:39,679
Speaker 7: Offensively, okay, decent Greg defensively, you're bringing Sean to side.

2099
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:41,040
Speaker 3: Then midseason you demote him.

2100
01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 7: You promote Matt Patricia, who I don't know if he

2101
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:46,240
Speaker 7: deserves to be a defensive coordinator, but he's calling the

2102
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:48,559
Speaker 7: defensive signals with the pencil in his ear and everything

2103
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:49,200
Speaker 7: like it.

2104
01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:51,879
Speaker 1: Just you have to perform.

2105
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 7: In the NFL, if a quarterback started sucking and started

2106
01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:57,200
Speaker 7: throwing interceptions, he would get benched.

2107
01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:00,120
Speaker 3: In this case, Sirianni higher.

2108
01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:03,280
Speaker 7: The wrong guys and they benched a sign Now they're

2109
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:04,479
Speaker 7: probably gonna bench Sirianni.

2110
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:07,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's unfortunate that it happened so fast.

2111
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 7: But Nick had a chance to bring in the right

2112
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:12,360
Speaker 7: replacements for Gannon and Steichen, and I would say he

2113
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:13,080
Speaker 7: failed miserably.

2114
01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:16,679
Speaker 2: Well, we don't need a replacement for this guy, okay,

2115
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:21,080
Speaker 2: firmly entrenched. Okay, we don't need to call an audible.

2116
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:25,320
Speaker 2: There's no backup option over here. Because he is the man,

2117
01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:27,879
Speaker 2: the myth in the legend. He is known as Isaac

2118
01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 2: loewenkron Ilo to his friends and family.

2119
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:32,920
Speaker 1: What's going on? Ilow?

2120
01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:33,360

Speaker 11: What an introduction is always? Thank you, Brian, and plenty

2122
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:39,920
Speaker 11: is going on today in the NFL? First Eyed a

2123
01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:44,519

Speaker 11: not play in Monday's wild card game against Tampa Bay

2125
01:44:47,920 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 11: due to his sprain knee, but Brown could return for

2126
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:55,240
Speaker 11: the divisional playoff round if the Eagles advance. NFL Media

2127
01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:58,320
Speaker 11: reported this morning that it's believed that the Los Angeles

2128

Speaker 11: Piers as their full time head coach. ESPN reports Pierce

2143
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:06,560
Speaker 11: will be provided. Here's a taste of the reaction to

2144
01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 11: this offer on social media. Steve commenting, can't they train AI.

2145
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:12,240
Speaker 9: To do this?

2146
01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:18,519
Speaker 11: Meanwhile, and take note of the username Hickettsburg eight comments,

2147
01:46:19,520 --> 01:46:22,320
Speaker 11: better not use the weather as an excuse when we

2148
01:46:22,640 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 11: beat you. Jim with a thought provoking suggestion, boil a

2149
01:46:28,040 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 11: bunch of water, put it on the top step, let

2150
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:32,400
Speaker 11: it run down to the bottom.

2151
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:33,599
Speaker 9: Genius.

2152
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:38,080
Speaker 11: I agree, I'm very intriguing. And finally Evan with really

2153
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:43,360
Speaker 11: a sort of existential question. This may be a dumb question,

2154
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:45,599
Speaker 11: but where do they put the snow?

2155
01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:47,960
Speaker 9: Unquote? With that?

2156
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:50,040
Speaker 1: What do you guys?

2157
01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:51,760
Speaker 3: Don't touch the yellow snow?

2158
01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:54,519
Speaker 1: Guys? Actually, do you know how they do this? Actually

2159
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:55,560
Speaker 1: looked into this.

2160
01:46:56,320 --> 01:47:00,880
Speaker 6: They'll they'll bring in like slides in certain cases are

2161
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:04,920
Speaker 6: conveyor belts to like have the snow go down these

2162
01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:08,640
Speaker 6: like luges down the aisles where the ushers walk up

2163
01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:11,720
Speaker 6: and down with the cracker jacks and then they throw

2164
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:15,280
Speaker 6: them in wheelbarrows or giant excavators depending on you know

2165
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:18,479
Speaker 6: what kind of what kind of artillery you need to

2166
01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:20,400
Speaker 6: remove all the snow, and then they put in dump

2167
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:22,360
Speaker 6: trucks and then you know, they they.

2168
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 1: Wheel it out of there.

2169
01:47:23,240 --> 01:47:25,800
Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's a it's it's like watching a

2170
01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:29,720
Speaker 6: bucket brigade, you know, put out a fire, except the

2171
01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:30,840
Speaker 6: exact opposite.

2172
01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if they still do it now, but

2173
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:35,240
Speaker 2: they used to when I was a kid, they would

2174
01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:39,280
Speaker 2: just have piles of snow around the field. Yeah, you know,

2175
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 2: I'll be on the lookout for that tomorrow as well. Hey,

2183
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:04,479
Speaker 2: is Countdown to kick Off, presented by Bett MGM. How

2184
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:10,840
Speaker 2: about the potential shootout of Super wild Card weekend Rams Lions. Huh,

2185
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 2: this game is in the fifties. There are a couple

2186
01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:17,480
Speaker 2: of games that are in the fifties. It's Packers, Uh, Cowboys,

2187
01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:20,719
Speaker 2: and it's Rams lions in terms of the over under

2188
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:22,240
Speaker 2: in terms of the total.

2189
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:26,320
Speaker 1: Right there, I come back to this. Do you trust

2190
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:32,240
Speaker 1: Dan one eight hundred gambler Campbell? Right, That's what I'm

2191
01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:32,800
Speaker 1: branding it.

2192
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:35,240
Speaker 2: Do you trust the guy in a spot like this

2193
01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 2: but he's like, Hey, let's go for two from our

2194
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:42,800
Speaker 2: own seven after an offensive penalty that was garbage, that's crazy. Hey,

2195
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:47,200
Speaker 2: let's play Sam Laporta, who's questionable after a hyper extended

2196
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 2: knee last week. Do you trust that guy and that

2197
01:48:51,760 --> 01:48:54,840
Speaker 2: team in a spot like this? My answer is no,

2198
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:57,759
Speaker 2: I don't. Now, just because you don't trust them doesn't

2199
01:48:57,800 --> 01:48:59,360
Speaker 2: mean they can't and won't win.

2200
01:48:59,640 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 1: It does?

2201
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:00,600
Speaker 5: Does it mean that?

2202
01:49:01,200 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 1: But it means I'm not backing them financially at the

2203
01:49:03,560 --> 01:49:04,880
Speaker 1: betting window. I can tell you that.

2204
01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:08,000
Speaker 6: All right, everybody, close your eyes. Okay, oh I love,

2205
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 6: close your eyes. Make us visualize, all right, visualize this situation.

2206
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:16,760
Speaker 6: You're about to go in for a back surgery, right

2207
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 6: and okay, Now, I know it's a serious surgery, but

2208
01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:22,400
Speaker 6: maybe it's not life threatening. It's not life threatening, but

2209
01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:25,720
Speaker 6: they are operating on your spine. So you've been dealing Hey,

2210
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:28,360
Speaker 6: tom Me, how is it you've been dealing with back

2211
01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:29,040
Speaker 6: paint for a while.

2212
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 5: Uh, you've been hesitant to go this route.

2213
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:35,200
Speaker 6: All of a sudden you decide, you know what New

2214
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:37,920
Speaker 6: Year knew me, I'm gonna get this back on track,

2215
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,120
Speaker 6: and I'm gonna get this back operated on.

2216
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:41,599
Speaker 5: I got the m riah already done.

2217
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:45,720
Speaker 6: And then as you're about to get the uh, the

2218
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:49,640
Speaker 6: sleepy time gas, you find out that you have a

2219
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,320
Speaker 6: first time surgeon operating on your back.

2220
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:54,599
Speaker 5: You're gonna be panicking.

2221
01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:58,000
Speaker 1: Right, Look, this is Dan Campbell's first rattle out of

2222
01:49:58,040 --> 01:49:58,439
Speaker 1: the shoot.

2223
01:49:58,520 --> 01:49:58,640
Speaker 12: Man.

2224
01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:02,080
Speaker 6: Of course I don't trust him. That would be the

2225
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 6: most uncomfortable pre nap discussion i'd ever have. Hey, so,

2226
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:11,240
Speaker 6: by the way, your surgeon's a great guy, and he's

2227
01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:13,960
Speaker 6: really built a great culture around this hospital.

2228
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:16,200
Speaker 5: But this is his first back surgery.

2229
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:19,760
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, wait,

2230
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:22,280
Speaker 1: what's going on across the way? What's going on across

2231
01:50:22,320 --> 01:50:22,519
Speaker 1: the way?

2232
01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 5: Would you say? What's that?

2233
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:24,760
Speaker 3: The guy?

2234
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:27,960
Speaker 6: The guy who's who's doing he's a young guy, right,

2235
01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:30,240
Speaker 6: but has he done it before? Oh no, no, he's

2236
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:32,919
Speaker 6: done it better than anybody else before in certain seasons.

2237
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:35,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll go with that guy. So yeah, I got

2238
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:36,800
Speaker 1: the Rams all day long.

2239
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:40,519
Speaker 3: Yeah again, this is we talked about this earlier.

2240
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:42,560
Speaker 7: This is a tough feel, so let's talk through it

2241
01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:44,400
Speaker 7: and see if we can't find a little feel for

2242
01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:47,400
Speaker 7: a little traction here in this game. I think it's

2243
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:49,080
Speaker 7: fair to say that the Rams have caught a lot

2244
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:51,720
Speaker 7: of breaks this season. Right, Stafford's been healthy the whole year.

2245
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:55,400
Speaker 7: He's had an unbelievable season. The offensive line has vastly

2246
01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 7: exceeded any odds maker expectation. They'd gone over their win total.

2247
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,920
Speaker 7: The defense was supposed to be five. They're overachieving. They

2248
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:04,840
Speaker 7: find Puka Nakua in the fifth round, and he like

2249
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:08,639
Speaker 7: breaks every rookie receiving record known to man. Kyen Williams

2250
01:51:08,760 --> 01:51:10,920
Speaker 7: is like the most valuable running back in the league

2251
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, like everything has gone right. But

2252
01:51:15,040 --> 01:51:18,839
Speaker 7: they've only beat one playoff team the whole year, basically,

2253
01:51:19,160 --> 01:51:21,800
Speaker 7: and that was Flacco's first game without Denzel Ward and

2254
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:23,120
Speaker 7: Miles Garrett a few weeks ago.

2255
01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:26,840
Speaker 3: Right, their other best data point isn't a loss to

2256
01:51:26,920 --> 01:51:27,479
Speaker 3: the Ravens.

2257
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:30,320
Speaker 7: So it's just I don't know how to grade this

2258
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:35,080
Speaker 7: Rams team, Like they are vastly as achieving overachieving any expectation.

2259
01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:37,760
Speaker 7: But you can poke a little bit of holes there

2260
01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:41,720
Speaker 7: on the other side for the Lions, man, I think

2261
01:51:41,760 --> 01:51:44,479
Speaker 7: the most fascinating psychological matchup in this game is the

2262
01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 7: Jared Goff Sean McVay stuff.

2263
01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:47,920
Speaker 3: I'm hearing a lot of chatter this week, Oh.

2264
01:51:47,880 --> 01:51:51,559
Speaker 7: Nobody knows Jared Goff more than Sean McVay, which is fair,

2265
01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:54,640
Speaker 7: But what do you really know about a guy you've

2266
01:51:54,680 --> 01:51:56,200
Speaker 7: watched them on tape for eight years?

2267
01:51:56,280 --> 01:51:59,680
Speaker 3: Like how much more could Sean possibly know? And what

2268
01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:04,200
Speaker 3: edge could McVeigh possibly have in this game over Goff

2269
01:52:04,360 --> 01:52:06,799
Speaker 3: that you know isn't common knowledge already.

2270
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:09,040
Speaker 7: So I just see a lot of back and forth

2271
01:52:09,080 --> 01:52:11,240
Speaker 7: where I'm hearing a lot of narratives on one side

2272
01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:12,800
Speaker 7: and then I'm trying to look into it, and I'm like,

2273
01:52:12,920 --> 01:52:15,880
Speaker 7: does that really matter? Can I quantify this? And I

2274
01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:18,080
Speaker 7: think the answer is no. I think the key is

2275
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:21,120
Speaker 7: if the Rams, if the Rams run the ball against

2276
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:22,800
Speaker 7: the Lions, which, by the way, the Lions have like

2277
01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:25,120
Speaker 7: the number one rush defense efficiency in the league, if

2278
01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:26,759
Speaker 7: they can figure out a way to get Karen Williams

2279
01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:29,320
Speaker 7: going and allow Stafford to go off play action, which

2280
01:52:29,360 --> 01:52:32,040
Speaker 7: is what he loves to do. That's where I see

2281
01:52:32,040 --> 01:52:34,559
Speaker 7: a lot of advantages for the Rams offense in this game.

2282
01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:36,800
Speaker 7: But on the other side, I could see Jared Goff

2283
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:38,800
Speaker 7: and you know, pushing the tempo and I'm on Ross

2284
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:40,679
Speaker 7: Saint Brown's really upset he didn't make the Pro Bowl

2285
01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:42,719
Speaker 7: and the Rams got you know, they struggle to stop

2286
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:44,760
Speaker 7: the run. The lines have two good backs. So again

2287
01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:47,200
Speaker 7: I'm kind of talking myself in a paper bag with

2288
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:47,559
Speaker 7: this game.

2289
01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:49,400
Speaker 1: Three is a fair number.

2290
01:52:49,840 --> 01:52:52,519
Speaker 5: Like, like, I like everything you said except for one thing,

2291
01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:53,920
Speaker 5: and I'll be very quick here.

2292
01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:56,760
Speaker 6: You know that that one note you passed along about

2293
01:52:56,840 --> 01:52:58,960
Speaker 6: how much better can you know a player if you've

2294
01:52:59,040 --> 01:53:01,720
Speaker 6: coached them and you've them on your Yeah, silent, Like

2295
01:53:01,880 --> 01:53:04,400
Speaker 6: I'll compare it to this, like like as a parent,

2296
01:53:04,479 --> 01:53:08,200
Speaker 6: you know your kids, right, Yeah, Like, intuitively, there's something,

2297
01:53:08,280 --> 01:53:12,000
Speaker 6: there's a connection and there is a father son relationship

2298
01:53:12,080 --> 01:53:15,880
Speaker 6: that happens with coaching player and it's weird, but it

2299
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:18,559
Speaker 6: and it has to be in person, but you can

2300
01:53:18,680 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 6: connect with somebody and see where their headspace is based

2301
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:26,599
Speaker 6: on body language or facial expressions or frustration or whatever.

2302
01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:29,640
Speaker 6: And if Sean McVay is peeking across the sideline and

2303
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:31,840
Speaker 6: you see some of that with Jared Goff. He'll know

2304
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:34,120
Speaker 6: what to do, and so there's a there's a little

2305
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:36,839
Speaker 6: bit of that intuition factor that's baked into this equation.

2306
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:39,720
Speaker 2: Hey, one last little thing to keep in mind. The

2307
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:44,040
Speaker 2: Rams have missed sixteen combined field goals and extra points.

2308
01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:44,880
Speaker 3: Great.

2309
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:49,000
Speaker 1: Oh, that is such a great sashuge. Oh it could

2310
01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:49,720
Speaker 1: be a big deal.

2311
01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:54,719
Speaker 2: And what do they have kicking Bret Maher who couldn't

2312
01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:58,559

01:55:14,760 --> 01:55:18,400

2339
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:25,720
Speaker 7: And I said that two weeks ago. I said I'm

2340
01:55:25,720 --> 01:55:28,120
Speaker 7: finishing the season about five hundred. Since then, six straight wins.

2341
01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:29,600

2343
01:55:31,840 --> 01:55:34,200
Speaker 7: one for tomorrow, one for Monday. Let's start with tomorrow

2344
01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:37,040
Speaker 7: and I'll take seven points with the Packers. I know

2345
01:55:37,160 --> 01:55:39,520
Speaker 7: it's crazy, but I think this Green Bay team is

2346
01:55:39,640 --> 01:55:41,440
Speaker 7: just young enough to not realize how big of a

2347
01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:42,480
Speaker 7: stage that they are on.

2348
01:55:43,240 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 3: And I like what I've seen from Jordan Love and

2349
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:45,760
Speaker 3: I do.

2350
01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:48,320
Speaker 7: Not trust Mike McCarthy laying a full touchdown in a

2351
01:55:48,440 --> 01:55:50,680
Speaker 7: big game, So I will take seven points with the

2352
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:55,640
Speaker 7: pack We're gonna go first half under Eagles Bucks Monday night.

2353
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:58,320
Speaker 7: This is twenty and a half. This numbers continuing to sink.

2354
01:55:58,360 --> 01:55:59,920
Speaker 7: I bet this one now. I would not wait to

2355
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:02,640
Speaker 7: Monday to bet is because all the news we're hearing

2356
01:56:02,680 --> 01:56:04,840
Speaker 7: with Jalen Hurts and of course AJ Brown. I do

2357
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 7: think the first half under very slow, run orientated game,

2358
01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:11,000
Speaker 7: Baker's banged up two, first half under twenty and a half,

2359
01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 7: Eagles and Bucks and the Packers plus seven SI.

2360
01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:16,040
Speaker 1: I love it. I love all of it. That's super

2361
01:56:16,120 --> 01:56:17,080
Speaker 1: Wildcard weekend.

2362
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:20,680
Speaker 6: I love that they call it super because I'm gonna

2363
01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:23,040
Speaker 6: move on from being two and one rich, which I've

2364
01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:25,200
Speaker 6: been for the past two weeks, into.

2365
01:56:25,080 --> 01:56:25,960
Speaker 1: Three and zero rich.

2366

Speaker 5: Here it goes, okay, three and rich, Oh, here we go.

2367
01:56:29,840 --> 01:56:33,000
Speaker 6: Browns their favorite two and a half on the road

2368
01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:36,840
Speaker 6: in Houston, Joe Flacco's elite. Give me the Browns covering

2369
01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:41,080
Speaker 6: the points rams they're getting spotted three points. I'd take

2370
01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:43,360
Speaker 6: them on the money line, But if you're gonna give

2371
01:56:43,400 --> 01:56:47,520
Speaker 6: me three free ones, I'll take them. Two Rams plus

2372
01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:51,840
Speaker 6: three and Casey at home. I think they roll. I

2373
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:56,120
Speaker 6: think they roll. I'm sorry, Brian, though, but your Dolphins

2374
01:56:56,160 --> 01:56:59,520
Speaker 6: will falter. I got the Kansas City Chiefs favored by

2375
01:56:59,560 --> 01:57:00,480
Speaker 6: four and a half points.

2376
01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:03,880
Speaker 2: Outrageous, freaking outrageous, right car, Okay, we'll go quick. I've

2377
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:06,480
Speaker 2: got a two leg parlay to start this off.

01:57:06,760 --> 01:57:07,080
Speaker 9: Wow.

2379
01:57:07,840 --> 01:57:10,800
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Rams team total over nine and a

2380
01:57:10,840 --> 01:57:14,400
Speaker 2: half in the first half. Okay, and I'm taking Flacco

2381
01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:17,960
Speaker 2: to throw a pick. It's plus one one. You're getting

2382
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:20,520
Speaker 2: plus money on that. So that's my first pick. I

2383
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:23,080
Speaker 2: will take josh Allen Bill's quarterback under two oh one

2384
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:26,120

2385
01:57:26,240 --> 01:57:30,000
Speaker 2: going to take Cowboys running back Tony Pollard over sixty

2386
01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:31,839
Speaker 2: one and a half rushing yards.
