10
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 2: We are here. It is the Wildcard Preview edition. The

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: regular season has ended. The gambling portion of the regular

12
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: season has ended. We we'll get to it later. Didn't

13
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: love how Week eighteen went, But after breaking our on

14
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: this show and on the TV show four straight years

15
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: of profitability streak last season with just a season just

16
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: littered with two and three weekends that ended in being

17
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: sub five hundred, back on the profitable side. All those

18
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: bets all year long netted us a whole three point

19
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: six units of profitability. But profitability is profitability. So that's good.

20
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: Our quest, our dream of an undefeated postseason begins anew

21
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: today where we will pick all six games. So we

22
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: will do that shortly. First, however, what missed the cut

23
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: one of on paper the best NBA games ever? Two

24
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: teams that both had thirty wins and both had five

25
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: or fewer losses that I don't know has. I think

26
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: it's happened once prior in NBA history. That took place

27
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: last night. As Cleveland got the victory, ending okay SE's

28
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: winning streak, Travis Kelcey says, I ain't scared of nobody.

29
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: I'll play the Bengals in a Walmart parking lot. Cam

30
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: Taylor Britt then says that's cap I mean, okay, buddy,

31
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: I mean the Cincinnati Bengals. At some point, you gotta

32
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: stop talking. You just got to stop talking. People wondering

33
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: did the Chiefs lose intentionally in Week eighteen to avoid Cincinnati?

34
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: Did the Bengals lose intentionally eight times over the course

35
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: of the season to avoid the Chiefs? That's the question

36
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: I have. And then Micah Parsons says next year will

37
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: be the year for the Dallas Cowboys. Demonse is here, demonse,

38
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: how are you looking good?

39
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: Good? Pretty good? Thank you sir. Good to see you

40
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: this morning.

41
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: Scar some scary times out in Los Angeles for all

42
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: our viewers or listeners in Southern California. I hope you're safe.

43
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: I can't really. I've never I've lived in tornado zones

44
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: and hurricane zones. I've never really lived in fire zones. Yeah,

45
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: fire or earthquake, and so what's happening in southern California

46
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: right now is legitimately terrifying. And because it's on the

47
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: West coast instead of the Eastern seaboard, I do feel

48
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: like the national news coverage of it would maybe be

49
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: more round the clock if it were happening like if

50
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: Washington d S Well, Washington, d C, Philadelphia, or it

51
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: doesn't even have to be New York. We're on fire

52
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: to this extent because it's happening out west. I'm not

53
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: sure if people out east have the full scope of it.

54
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: But you're safe. Our Blue Duck team is safe. And

55
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: obviously thoughts with all our friends out there and listeners

56
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: out there, and hope primarily you're safe, and secondarily but

57
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: also super important, your homes are okay. And I know

58
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: that's not the case for everybody. But let's get right

59
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: to it. Demanse talk a little Lamar Jackson.

60
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, Lamar credited his past playoff playoff woes to

61
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: being too antsy and emotional. I totally agree with him,

62
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: by the way, But do you think that if this year,

63
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: if you think that this year that he doesn't get

64
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: through that hump or get over that playoff hump, that

65
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: he'll never ever do it?

66
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 2: Well, So here's the thing. First, let me answer him

67
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: saying he gets too antsy like that to me was

68
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: confirmation of what I've been saying that before these games

69
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: he gets. Another word for antsy is nervous, and he

70
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: gets a little nervous, wants it that badly and tightens

71
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: up a bit. And so I don't. So here's and

72
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: I tried to explain this yesterday on TV, and I'm

73
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: gonna do it again here but in a longer form,

74
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: because I think people view my Lamar Jackson opinion as

75
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: more of an indictment than I view it. Because to

76
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: answer the question, if he once again falls flat in

77
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: the postseason, do I think that is just who he's

78
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: going to be moving forward? The answer to that question

79
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: is yes, But does that mean I think he won't

80
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: ever win a Super Bowl. The answer to that question

81
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: is no, and so I the obvious camp and the

82
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: comp people would have gone to way earlier if not

83
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: for the fact that style realistically they are such incredibly

84
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: dissimilar players. Is Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning is one of

85
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: the greatest quarterbacks to ever play. Peyton Manning also, year

86
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: after year after year, got tight in the playoffs, did

87
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 2: not play his best football. Peyton Manning won two super

88
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: Bowls despite that, and the sports movie story would be

89
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning, after years of playoff failures, finally put it

90
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: all together and was unbelievable and route to the super Bowl.

91
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: But that's not what happened. Peyton Manning. Forget the last

92
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: super Bowl he won his final year in the league,

93
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: when he was a shell of himself, Like take that

94
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: out of it. The year they won smack dab in

95
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,119
Speaker 2: the middle of his prime. Here was his postseason that year.

96
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: One against Kansas City one touchdown, three picks, a seventy

97
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: two rating. They won Round two against Baltimore zero touchdowns,

98
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: two picks a thirty nine rating. They won Round three

99
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: against New England in a crazy comeback, one touchdown, one pick,

100
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: a seventy nine rating they won. The Super Bowl against

101
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: Rex Grossman and the Bears, one touchdown, one pick, an

102
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: eighty two rating. They won. He had three touchdowns, seven picks,

103
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: and they was right, exactly right. And now the New

104
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: England game, he was awesome in the second half. The

105
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: numbers don't really explain it. They round twenty one to

106
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: three at halftime against a team that had dominated them

107
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: the last two postseasons, and he was awesome in the

108
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: second half. They just ran in the touchdowns, but still

109
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: Round one against the terrible Chiefs team, one touchdown, three picks.

110
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: Round two against Baltimore, they scored fifteen points. He had

111
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: zero touchdowns, two picks, completed fifty percent of his passes

112
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: through for one hundred and seventy yards. Peyton Manning. So

113
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: I don't find it to be in conflict to believe

114
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning is clearly one of the five greatest quarterbacks

115
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: ever and Peyton Manning was not a good playoff quarterback.

116
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: Finished his playoff career fourteen and thirteen. Peyton Manning his

117
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: first six career playoff games, two wins, four losses, same

118
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: as Lamar and this idea that, oh, you're gonna have

119
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: this moment and be over it. It's just not what

120
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: it is if you go to Peyton's career. Peyton's first

121
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: three playoff games were disastrous. A nineteen to sixteen loss

122
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: to the Titans where he's had a sixty two rating

123
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: and zero touchdowns, A twenty three to seventeen lost to

124
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: the Dolphins where he had an eighty two rating, one touchdown,

125
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: zero picks, A forty one to nothing lost to the Jets,

126
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: where he had zero touchdowns, two picks, completed forty five

127
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: percent of his passes uh and had a thirty one rating.

128
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: The next year, here's how it went. Played the Denver

129
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: beat him forty one to ten, five touchdowns, no picks,

130
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: a perfect passer rating perfect one, fifty eight point three.

131
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: The next round played My Chiefs in the famous no

132
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: punt game. Neither team ever punted. Just score score, score,

133
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: score score. An offensive pass interference call on Tony Gonzalez

134
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: killed us, a turnover killed us. They won thirty eight

135
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 2: thirty one, three touchdowns, no picks. All right, he's over it. Patriots.

136
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: Next round, one touchdown, four picks of thirty five rating.

137
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: Go home, Lamar's that very next.

138
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 3: Year tough figure describing Lamar Jackson's not having bad games

139
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: like that, that.

140
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: He's not game here.

141
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: These games are egregious. No, no, he's not.

142
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: Okay, well i'll go through it for you because he is. Okay,

143
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: well I'll go through it for you because he is.

144
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: But that's but he also he also has never had

145
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: anything close to the eight touchdowns, zero picks a one

146
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: forty five rating over a two game playoff sample. But

147
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: so the very next year, peyton first game of the playoffs,

148
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: four touchdowns, one pick a, one forty six rating. Okay,

149
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: we're good. The very next game lost twenty to three

150
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: to the Patriots, zero touchdowns, one pick, a sixty nine rating.

151
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: The next year one and done against the Steelers at home,

152
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: twenty one to eighteen, and then the Super Bowl run.

153
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: And by the way, this continued for Peyton's entire career.

154
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: He was not the same guy in the playoffs. Bill

155
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: Simmons coined the Peyton face because you saw it when

156
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: it was happening. And so you're saying Lamar is not

157
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: the same guy. I'm here to tell you Lamar's playoff

158
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: resume is as tattered Lamar's we want to take out.

159
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: He don't take it out, but all graded with a

160
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: grain of salt. His rookie year when he saved that team,

161
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: that team was dead in the water. They go to Lamar.

162
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: He saves their season, maybe saves John Harbaugh's job, and

163
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 2: then the Chargers play a defense that nobody had seen before,

164
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: where it was eight defensive backs on the field, three

165
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: down linemen. Lamar completed forty eight percent of his passes,

166
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 2: two touchdowns, one pick, three fumbles, one fumble lost. They

167
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: lost twenty three to seventeen, and folks, if they don't

168
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: remember that game, those numbers are misleading because they were

169
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: down twenty three to three with seven minutes left, and

170
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: then you Lamar in that game, they were talking about

171
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: should he be pulled, but again he's a rookie. Take

172
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: it out. The next year, Demonse, when they were fourteen

173
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 2: and two and he was the unanimous league MVP. They

174
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: play the Titans at home. They lose twenty eight to twelve.

175
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: He throws two picks and loses a fumble, so you're right,

176
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: didn't have three picks, but he had three turnovers in

177
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: that game, and they at no point could they move

178
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 2: the football. The next year they play the Titans, little

179
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 2: revenge spot. They win. Lamar in that game, zero touchdowns,

180
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: one pick, a seventy five rating. And then they get

181
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: the Bills and this Bills game, maybe because it was

182
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: the COVID season, gets totally lost to history. It's ten

183
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: to three, Josh Allen is doing nothing. Ten to three Buffalo,

184
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: and late in the game, they've driven down, they're at

185
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: the goal line, and with a minute left in the

186
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: third quarter, down a touchdown. Lamar throws one hundred and

187
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: one yard pick six and they lose seventeen to three.

188
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: And Lamar in that game throws for one hundred and

189
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 2: sixty zero touchdowns, one pick, a sixty one rating, had

190
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: a fumble, didn't lose it. And then the next time

191
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: he plays in the playoffs is last year when he's

192
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: awesome against Houston and then brutal against the Chiefs.

193
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: So I don't this last playoff game wasn't brutal. I

194
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: mean he threw for two seventy two, you rush for

195
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 3: what fifty yards? I think that's a brutal game. I

196
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: think he's shown improvement. I do think that, like he

197
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 3: needs to get over that hump this year but oh,

198
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not consistently, it's just.

199
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: Okay, garbage, Okay. So I So this is where I

200
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: just think that the numbers and the data doesn't back

201
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 2: that up. And that's the other part of this conversation

202
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: that frustrates me. So I said he was awesome against Houston.

203
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: He only threw for one point fifty, but he was

204
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: still awesome in that game. The flip side to that

205
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: coin is just because he threw for two seventy against

206
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: Kansas City doesn't change the fact he was brutal in

207
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: that game. They scored ten points. So here's a stat.

208
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: People can work it however they want. Since nineteen ninety,

209
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: there is no quarterback in NFL history who averages more

210
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: points per game in the regular season than Lamar Jackson. Okay,

211
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: in that same timeframe, there is no quarterback in NFL

212
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: history who averages fewer points per game in the playoffs

213
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: than Lamar Jackson. That's not that like. So you go

214
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: from the highest scoring quarterback in the league to the

215
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: lowest scoring quarterback in the league, and the retcon of

216
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: the he actually wasn't that bad in the Chiefs game

217
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: started the game off with a lost fumble that set

218
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: the Chiefs up, and when they were attempting to come back,

219
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: he throws into triple coverage in the end zone for

220
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: an interception that essentially ends their game. And so the

221
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: points scored by the Ravens in playoff games started by

222
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: Lamar seventeen twelve, twenty three, thirty four against Houston ten.

223
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you another one. All four years Lamar

224
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: has been in the playoffs, they're season low in points

225
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: that year came in the playoffs. Like so I. But

226
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: this is why I find the conversation frustrating. He gets

227
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: credit for being so great in the regular season that

228
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: even if he continues to struggle, they're probably going to

229
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: win a super Bowl, like at some point like the

230
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: six Colts did, where he keeps struggling and they win

231
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: despite it, and he is the biggest reason they won

232
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: because without him they wouldn't be there. And he only asked,

233
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: you know, even if he's struggling, make a couple big plays.

234
00:16:54,280 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: So I don't. I don't think that it is likely,

235
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: like people want there, that there's gonna be this light

236
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: bulb moment where all of a sudden, Lamar is a

237
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 2: great postseason player. I don't think that's coming. I think

238
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: this is who he is. I also think one day

239
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: he'll win a championship despite it. But I the I

240
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: can let me. I'll tell you another guy who didn't

241
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 2: have as many opportunities as some of the other all

242
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: time great quarterbacks because the team wasn't very good. But

243
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: another guy who this applies to is another one of

244
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: the no doubt ten and maybe five greatest quarterbacks ever,

245
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: Dan Marino. Dan Marino was a statistical marvel when he

246
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 2: came into the league in a way we'd never seen

247
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: in the eighties. And yet in the postseason, who was he?

248
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: The team was eight and two, his passer rating dropped

249
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 2: ten points from where it was in the regular season.

250
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: He completed fifty six percent of his passes, and find

251
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: me the great playoff run you can't. Also, this works

252
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 2: in reverse oddly as well, Eli Manning across the board

253
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: the definition of mid in the regular season dead five

254
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: hundred quarterback for his career never led the league in

255
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: anything other than interceptions. It was never had the you know,

256
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: this gaudy regular season record was just consistently at in

257
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 2: the regular season and two times in the playoffs. The

258
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: two Super Bowl runs, has fifteen touchdowns and two picks combined,

259
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: and a guy whose career passer rating is in the

260
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: mid eighties, those two super Bowl runs, it's at one hundred.

261
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: He was a guy who in the biggest moment actually

262
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: unlocks something better. And so no, I don't think Lamar

263
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 2: gets over it now maybe this year. I don't think

264
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: it'll be this year because the Chiefs are too good,

265
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 2: but it would be a team like this where it

266
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. You have Derrick Henry, you have a defense

267
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 2: that's coming on strong, and Lamar can make just a

268
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 2: couple wow plays. That's gonna be their path. And I

269
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, then of course you reevaluate where he

270
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 2: is in the all time quarterback pantheon, because he does

271
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: have have a regular season resume of one of the

272
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 2: four or five greatest quarterbacks ever. But I don't think

273
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: it's binary in that he's either going to get over

274
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: this or he's not as great as people say he is.

275
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: I think he is as great as people say he is,

276
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: and he's probably not gonna get over these.

277
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 3: So so if he were to win the Super Bowl

278
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 3: this year, where would he staying with you? You're saying

279
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: he can't get over. I mean, is that that puts

280
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: him no? So, I mean if he because you're saying

281
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 3: he's gonna get one eventually, but like if he got

282
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 3: one right now, if.

283
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: He got one right now. So again, let's just talk

284
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: this out with me. Is it the way Peyton got

285
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: his where he struggles in the games and.

286
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 3: The like Lamar is the focal point, like he I

287
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: don't want to say he can't. Oh he plays well.

288
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: Well, then then he is a undeniable top ten all

289
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: time quarterback. And because he already has a couple MVPs

290
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: and an undeniable top two current quarterback, like that's that's

291
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: what so the and oh, no question, I think he

292
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: has an argument right now that he's already past Burrow

293
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: because Burrow's playing well in the postseason. That loses its

294
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: luster when the last two years you don't play in

295
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 2: the postseason, right, and so, and the the MVPs matter,

296
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 2: and it is just this thing really really really dragging

297
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: him down, is that Burrow plays a touch better in

298
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Josh Allen has had some unreal playoff moments.

299
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: And you know it's not even like Lamar's break even

300
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: it's the world and so yeah, a super Bowl, a

301
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: super Bowl where he plays the way he's played in

302
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: this regular season, he would elevate. Yes, that's what I

303
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: was gonna say. He would elevate in my mind, just

304
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: by even if they if they lose in the AFC

305
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: Championship game to the Chiefs, but he's good in Round

306
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: one against Pittsburgh, beats Josh Allen and plays well. And

307
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: then in the AFC Championship game against the Chiefs, plays well,

308
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 2: but the Chiefs are just the Chiefs and they beat him.

309
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 2: That elevates him as well. Again, the other thing that

310
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 2: hurts Lamar is there's not a single playoff game that

311
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: you can look at and be like, well, he played great,

312
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: but the team let him down. That's not on the resume,

313
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. All of these losses, he

314
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: has more turnovers than touchdowns, and it's a really, really

315
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: rough spot for him. And so I just don't think

316
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: I Again, Peyton Manning was a statue white, super tall,

317
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: precision passer. Lamar's the most athletic running quarterback we've ever seen.

318
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: Size isn't the same as Peyton black guy. They don't

319
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 2: look at all alike when they're playing. So people don't

320
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: compare them to each other. But Peyton Manning was a

321
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: two time MVP that everybody thought was one of the

322
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: best they'd ever seen, who really struggled in the playoffs

323
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: and never had the light bulb moment. And so I

324
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: just think that is and nobody the reason. And then

325
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: I'll stop here. But it's why I don't think I'm

326
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 2: being Not only do I not think I'm being unfair

327
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: to Lamar. I don't think it's as much of an

328
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: indictment as everyone else does. Everyone knows. Everyone who watched

329
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning for two years knows that. And all those

330
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: same people, if you ask him right now to name

331
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: the five greatest quarterbacks of all time, are gonna have

332
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning in there. Despite that, and so and the

333
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 2: people don't like the embid and hardened comps because people

334
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: look at those guys, as you know, embieds, the injuries,

335
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: and he's people don't like the personality and that hardens

336
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: a flake. So I'll go further back. Karl Malone's a

337
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 2: fair one. Karl Malon's one of the twenty greatest basketball

338
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: players ever, third all time in points, two time MVP,

339
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 2: play like consistent, amazing, production who any of us that

340
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: grew up in the nineties were like, Oh, yeah, you're

341
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 2: not gonna get your best Karl Malone in the postseason.

342
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: Here's not. And so I I see that, and we're

343
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 2: seeing it right now with Aaron Judge. We see it

344
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: in sports and you want guys to have and Brew

345
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 2: yesterday on the show and its apologies for going so

346
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: long in this, but I do think it's really interesting.

347
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 2: Brew yesterday on the show brought up Lebron about Lebron

348
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 2: failing in twenty ten against Boston and then the meltdown

349
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: in twenty eleven against Dallas, and how after that moment

350
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 2: he never looked like that again, and like, can Lamar

351
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: have that type of light bulb moment? And the reason

352
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a good comp is Lebron did

353
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: have those failures, but in the seven years leading up

354
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: to that, he also had some unbelievable his historically great

355
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: playoff moments. At twenty two years old, he carries a

356
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: team terrible team to the finals, has forty eight points

357
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: an elimination game, has the goes forty five points in

358
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: a Game seven. As a twenty three year old against

359
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: the Big Three in Boston averages thirty nine to eight

360
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 2: to eight in a conference finals that they end up

361
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: losing against the Magic. So you he had showed you

362
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: he could be a great playoff performer repeatedly, even though

363
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: he had the failure against the MAVs that if Lamar

364
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 2: last year, Demanse had lost to the Chiefs in the

365
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 2: AFC Championship Game thirty one to twenty eight, and he

366
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 2: was an AUS and Mahomes was an A plus and

367
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 2: just like, what are you gonna do you feel? I

368
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: would feel differently. It's not purely the loss. It's that

369
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: he's never won a playoff game where his team allowed

370
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: thirteen points more than thirteen points, Like, that's that's the

371
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: issue there. So I'm excited to see it. The path

372
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: laid out for him is, I mean, exercise all. The

373
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: path if the bracket holds, is beat the Steelers, who

374
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 2: you've struggled with mightily in your career. Beat Josh Allen,

375
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 2: who's gonna win MVP over you this year. Beat Patrick Mahomes,

376
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: who you've struggled with your entire career and lost to

377
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: in the playoffs last year, and then you're in the

378
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: super Bowl. Just just if they were to just get

379
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. Lamar enters top ten all time

380
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: and definitive top two. Right now, we'll see if it happens,

381
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 2: all right, last couple ones before we get to the picks.

382
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 3: Uh. Yeah, So Bill Belichick apparently has a lot of

383
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 3: suitors out there looking for him for that head coaching

384
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 3: gig in Vegas one of the teams that was interested in,

385
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,239
Speaker 3: surprisingly with Brady having that stake in the team, and

386
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 3: you know their relationship hasn't always been the best. Yeah,

387
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 3: Belichick says that he's gonna he has no plans to

388
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 3: go to the NFL, but could you see something enticing him?

389
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 2: So the fact that this exists is why I thought

390
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: it was so odd he jumped on the North Carolina job.

391
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: I understand that, you know, you'd put out feelers and

392
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: hadn't gotten great responses from the NFL, but there's I

393
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 2: thought he gave up the opportunity to coach in the

394
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 2: NFL too early.

395
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 3: He was never going to get hired. You were like

396
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 3: one of the main guys saying, like Belichick, like nobody

397
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: he's about to pick up Belichick.

398
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: No hold on, well, no, no, no, I don't think.

399
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: You were saying that okay, Like I remember when it

400
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 3: first came out, it was just he was it was no, yeah,

401
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 3: he put the feelers hit him up.

402
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: Once he took the North Carolina job, I said, it

403
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: was very clear no one was going to hire like

404
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: he did it because he found out no one was

405
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: going to hire him. But that surprised me, Like, so

406
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: let me because what you're saying is true, but I

407
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: think the sequence of events is not necessarily accurate. So

408
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: prior to the North Carolina thing happening, I assumed he

409
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: would get a job. I thought the Giants made the

410
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: most sense, and I thought the Cowboys were a very

411
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: interesting one. As soon as the North Carolina thing got rolling,

412
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: I said, he must have found out no one was

413
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: going to hire it, that it was a you know,

414
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to be left out in the

415
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: cold or else. Why would he take a college job

416
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: when he wants to coach in the NFL. So that

417
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: was my true, honest feelings on the situation. It now

418
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: appears he might have been premature in giving up the

419
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: opportunity to coach in the NFL, And now folks are saying, well,

420
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: his buyout's only ten million dollars After June first, it

421
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: drops to one million dollars. Could he just pay the

422
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: buyout and go coach in the NFL? I would, And

423
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: you remember Deman's I had told the story about how

424
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: you know, for our younger audience, which you're in. He

425
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: was named the head coach of the Jets and resigned

426
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: on a napkin the next day. Uh, he cannot do

427
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 2: that to North Carolina. I would find it truly objectionable

428
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: if here too, Yes, exactly right, So I don't want

429
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: to get we don't have to give specifics. But Demanse

430
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: has a friend who was recruited by Bill Belichick, and

431
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: you know some other players and the college aspect of

432
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: these guys, And I understand coaches leave all the time,

433
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: but you don't. There's there's never as an old twenty

434
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: year old they're gonna go play for Bill Belichick. And

435
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure someone in their lives have told them, hey, man,

436
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: there is a chance you only play for him for

437
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: one year, because there is a chance he leaves, you know,

438
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: after a year to go back to the NFL. Even

439
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: though he's swearing this is where I want to be. Fine,

440
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 2: nobody thinks there's a chance you never get to play

441
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: for him, that you have these opportunities, these offers to

442
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: go to these different schools, you picked to play for Belichick.

443
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: In six weeks later, he's like, actually, I'm gonna go

444
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: coach the Raiders. So I just I would find it

445
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: to be egregious from a character perspective. And I'm not

446
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: accusing him of even considering this, to be clear, but

447
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: if the news came out he's void, and I understand

448
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: the contract allows for it, I just think it would

449
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: be horrible, and so I don't think it's gonna happen.

450
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: I also wonder how much of this was Brady being like, hey,

451
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 2: so you want to work for me for a change,

452
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: like uh, and so there there is that aspect to it.

453
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna happen, though, and so I

454
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: think the Diana Russini said, it's you know, unlikely, And

455
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: I would just find it to be really poor form.

456
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 2: And that's putting it lightly, all right, let's do bracket

457
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: to unpack it.

458
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So sometimes the easiest way to predict the

459
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: playoff wins is to just go with the best quarterback

460
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 3: in coach duo. We know obviously read them Mahomes will

461
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: be at the top of your list, So we left

462
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 3: him out of the bracket. But we've got a little

463
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 3: bracket to unpack it. I think we've got a graphic

464
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: here and on the in round one, on the left side,

465
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 3: we've got McVeigh and Stafford against Sirianni and Hurts.

466
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: All right, Well, first I want to see who else

467
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: got left out, because there's eight of these here. There's

468
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: obviously fourteen teams in the playoffs. We left a lot out.

469
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Strouden, Demiico are out that you've got left out?

470
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: You have bow Nicks and Sean Payton. Wow, shots fired.

471
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you right now, for a coach quarterback,

472
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: you would have to consider bo Nix and Sean Payton

473
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: because of the Sean Payton piece of it, where Quinn

474
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 2: and Jayden Daniels are maybe like that. It's at least

475
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: and Todd Bowles Baker left out the insults here. Uh,

476
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: I'm the Dan Camill golfer there the the other ones

477
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: left out. I'm going through the bracket in my head quickly.

478
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 2: Tomlin and Ross, all right, that one makes sense that

479
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: those guys got left out, and I think that I

480
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 2: think that covers it. But still that okay, all right,

481
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: now we'll do the actual bracket. Sorry about that. So

482
00:33:53,800 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: McVeigh Stafford over Sirianni hurts that one's obviously mcveiy Stafford. Uh,

483
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 2: harball Lamar over Harball Herbert. I'll take Harball Herbert. I

484
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 2: know people get mad. I think Jim's a better coach

485
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 2: than John and.

486
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 3: Herbert better postseason performer than Lamar Jackson.

487
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 2: Well he doesn't. Justin Herbert doesn't really have postseason resume,

488
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: doesn't Herbert has an unbelievable football and then agreed in

489
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 2: egregious second half of football? So like is not? Is

490
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: no resume better than an awful Like if if someone

491
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: de Monds were applying to work for you, and they

492
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: and one person brought in a blank resume and the

493
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: other person brought in a resume that had four jobs,

494
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: all of which they were fired from within three weeks,

495
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: It's like, who do you like? What do we want?

496
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 2: The guy with no experience or the guy with a

497
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 2: bunch of failures? I don't know? All right, So to

498
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 2: the other the other side of the bracket, Campbell goff

499
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 2: lafloor love. I'm gonna go Campbell golf. Uh, And I

500
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 2: just think that Campbell he made a took a big

501
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 2: risk playing that Monday night football game, but he ended

502
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: up rolling seven. And now that they got the one seed,

503
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: they're feeling great. McDermott Allen over Quinn Daniels Listen. I

504
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 2: think Dan Quinn's fine. Jaden's a rookie in his first

505
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: playoff start. I'll go McDermott Allen. So now we have

506
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 2: in the final four Bay Stafford.

507
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead on the left and Stafford yeah. Mcveay

508
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: Stafford versus Herbert in Harble, No.

509
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: I'm saying McVeigh Staffords. Yeah. McVay Staffords might pick. And

510
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: then on the right Campbell Golf against McDermott Allen. I

511
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 2: think this will surprise people. I'll take Campbell Golf. I

512
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: think Sean McDermott in these big spots gets tight, man.

513
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: I see it again and again. And while Josh Allen's

514
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 2: better than Jared Goff, Goff has played so well this

515
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 2: year that the gap is not as massive to me

516
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 2: as Dan Campbell in big spots can get reckless but

517
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 2: doesn't get nervous. And then McVay Stafford against Campbell Golf,

518
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: I'll go McVeigh Stafford, guys, I believe in the Rams flatly.

519
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: And I believe in the Rams because of that that

520
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 2: head coach, quarterback Combo, and that defense that I don't

521
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: think is allowed fourteen points in their last three weeks.

522
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 2: I think the Rams are a very dangerous team. And

523
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell he didn't mean to, but he gave the

524
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 2: Rams a little bulletin board material when after that Vikings

525
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: Lions game he said to Kevin O'Connell, see you in

526
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, Uh not if the Rams or

527
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 2: something to say about it. And so I I don't

528
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: know that we're gonna get Lions Vikings. We might get

529
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: Lions Rams now again, if there's an upset in one

530
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 2: of the other games, the bracket gets receded. But if

531
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 2: the if the two and three seed both win and

532
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 2: it's the winner of Vikings Rams heading to Detroit, my

533
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 2: money is you'll see in a moment we'll be on

534
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: the Rams.

535
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: There.

536
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: Go ahead, though, pel.

537
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, like, I mean, how Stafford McVeigh, like,

538
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 3: how scared would you be if they played the Chiefs?

539
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 3: Like do you think that's it?

540
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: Is that a very you.

541
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: Always say that.

542
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 2: The exactly right, that's right, So I got it. Cooper

543
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 2: Cup has not looked like Cooper Cup as of late,

544
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: so I have to see what shape he's in. And

545
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Watt. The reason I'm so afraid of that is

546
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 2: because it's since Jalen Watson got hurt. Jalen Watson broke

547
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 2: his ankles six weeks ago. They opened his practice window up.

548
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: If he's back, then nobody. If Jalen Watson is back,

549
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 2: no one is coming close to the Chiefs. I'm telling

550
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 2: you guys right now. I know it seems like an

551
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: odd player to key on. They have right now, they

552
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 2: have they have two weaknesses. One was left tackle play.

553
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: But if they they showed they could fix that by

554
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: sliding Joe Tooney over. Now I think they prefer to

555
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 2: play DJ Humphreys there. We'll see what they end up

556
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 2: starting the playoffs with. But they know they have a

557
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 2: fix there. They did not have a fix to cornerback

558
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: two and it was just a rotating cast and none

559
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: of them were doing great. If Jalen Watson's back, the

560
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: Chiefs go into the playoffs with as a team with

561
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: no weaknesses and the freshest team in the league. Also,

562
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 2: the other quarterback coach combo that didn't get mentioned was

563
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell, Sam Darnold Man. Week eighteen really killed Donald.

564
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: I mean my I and I forgot about tomorrow. Good,

565
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 2: all right, we'll do our Week eighteen I'm sorry, Week

566
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: eighteen recap and our wild card weekend picks. Demonse's gonna participate,

567
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: give picks of his own. That's all next, What's Right?

568
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: All right? Welcome back in What's Right with Nick Right?

569
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 2: Kind of a bummer of a Week eighteen. Demonse I

570
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 2: lose the season long picks competition to Danny on TV.

571
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 2: He gets a fraudulent we both won. I had the

572
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 2: Steelers plus two and a half. He's somehow had the

573
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 2: Bengals minus one and a half. So the Steelers win

574
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: by two, so we both get a win there, which

575
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: didn't set the table for Sunday well, but I went

576
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: on too Sundays, so it ultimately didn't matter. And listen,

577
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: Week eighteen picks didn't go the way I had hoped.

578
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: We can show it to you I had. I didn't

579
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 2: get the two and a half on this show because

580
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 2: it was two when I did it, So I got

581
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 2: a push there for Pittsburgh plus two. The Chiefs plus

582
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 2: ten and a half didn't quite work out the way

583
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 2: I'd hoped. They lost thirty eight nothing. Miami minus won

584
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 2: against the Jets. The thought those two picks were correlated

585
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 2: because the thought process was if the Chiefs are just

586
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 2: keeping it close ish, Miami is gonna be peak motivated

587
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 2: because they're gonna know if the Chiefs win, they can

588
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. Instead, the Chiefs were down twenty four

589
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: to nothing immediately, and Tyreek Hill's quitting on the team

590
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: and the Miami's just getting cooked. So that was a disaster.

591
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 2: The Chargers handled the Raiders, and then Minnesota plus two

592
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 2: and a half against Detroit totally on the wrong side

593
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 2: of it. Minnesota got annihilated. So no bad luck there,

594
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 2: just bad picks. There's no excuses, you know, point thumbs,

595
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 2: not fingers, look in the mirror, all that stuff. So

596
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: still is what it is, forty eight, forty and two

597
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 2: for the year. Could have done better, but profitable. Demond's

598
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: a your teaser. On the other hand, as a wise

599
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 2: man once said, never a doubt.

600
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 3: Ever a doubt. It hit that put me at five

601
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: hundred for the year. So that's all I could ask for.

602
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the best year I've had so far.

603
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 3: I don't know if we did that. We've already done

604
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 3: this two years, but I remember the first year it's

605
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 3: pretty bad. So really step up, and I'm twitter that

606
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 3: I'm going un defeated next year.

607
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: And this year started out poorly. So yes, you so

608
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 2: you you got hot? You had you had Pittsburgh plus

609
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: nine and a half against Cincinnati and the Bears plus

610
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 2: eighteen against Green Bay. The Bear is obviously one outright,

611
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 2: so that was good. All right, So you're gonna do

612
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 2: these picks as well this week? And they said, you're

613
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: not doing a teaser, but I might see if we

614
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: can find one. I might try to convince you see

615
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 2: if we.

616
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 3: Can oh it picks, not my name, stay on my lane.

617
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I want you to pick, I'm saying,

618
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: but no, no no. In addition, I'm I'm gonna see

619
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 2: if there's a good playoff. I haven't really thought about

620
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: these games through a teaser lens. But but we'll you

621
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 2: know what I mean, we'll figure it out, all right.

622
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 2: So we're gonna go in order of the games. The

623
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 2: first game is Houston at home against the Chargers, and

624
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,720
Speaker 2: this one is was the hardest one. For me to pick,

625
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: and it really really matters where you bet this right now.

626
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: So right now, Fan Duel has the Chargers laying two

627
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 2: and a half. DraftKings has the Chargers laying three. Anyone

628
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 2: listening to the show is a sophisticated enough gambler to

629
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 2: understand huge difference between those two numbers. For this game

630
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: in particular, I find this game to be super relevant.

631
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: If you can get the three, I like the Charger.

632
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 2: I like Houston plus three if you if you're gonna

633
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: get the two and a half, I don't mind the Chargers.

634
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: And so there is so my rationale here is very simple.

635
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 2: I don't think Houston's very good right now. I understand that.

636
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 2: I also think they are probably a little undervalued in

637
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 2: this regard. They've been locked in to their playoff spot

638
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 2: for a few weeks and didn't really have real motivation

639
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 2: after that. After the Chiefs loss and the Tank Dell injury.

640
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,439
Speaker 2: I felt I felt like they're playing the Ravens four

641
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 2: days later on Christmas, knowing we're gonna be the four

642
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 2: seed no matter what, and they put up a total

643
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 2: no show, and because of that people have undersold them

644
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: a bit. Again. I think they're a flawed team and

645
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 2: a banged up team. However, they have an excellent pass rush.

646
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 2: CJ can play better than he's played. Nico Collins is

647
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: still a great player, and they're at home against a

648
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 2: Charger team. Demonse that I just think I know how

649
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 2: harrball coaches in these playoff games. He's gonna put Herbert

650
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 2: back on the leash. He's gonna run the ball, run

651
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: the ball. Want it to be few possessions, low scoring,

652
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 2: defensive battle. So if I can get three points, all three,

653
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: all take them. I again, if I felt like I

654
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 2: would take the Chargers minus to an half, but Houston

655
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 2: plus three, it means I don't have crazy conviction on this,

656
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 2: but it feels like the public is gonna be all

657
00:44:55,360 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 2: over the Chargers. So I'll take U plus the three

658
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 2: with some trepidation. And I'll tell you right now because

659
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: the pick and this is I haven't done this all year,

660
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 2: but I it really, I really want to have a

661
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: shot to go undefeated on this on TV. Not that

662
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 2: I value the TV more or less than this, but

663
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 2: here's the here's the reason I'm mentioning it on TV.

664
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 2: We are tied to the DraftKings line because DraftKings sponsors

665
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: the TV picks hopefully next year for the gambling show,

666
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: we're tied to a gambling sponsors line because I've mental

667
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 2: lost a couple of shows. We are open for business.

668
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 2: We have a little we have a little open for

669
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 2: business sign and our podcast window, and we hope to

670
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 2: actually come to a decision on that here in the

671
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 2: next few weeks for you know, your favorite sportsbook to

672
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: endorse this podcast. However, on TV it is DraftKings. So

673
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 2: if that line moves on DraftKings and it's two and

674
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: a half by tomorrow when I'm doing the picks, I

675
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: might go Chargers. I'm just in so the full disclosure,

676
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 2: that's where I'm at. But Houston plus three demon's a ugo.

677
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I originally made these picks on fan duels,

678
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 3: so I got the Chargers minus the two and a half.

679
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 3: I wasn't taking the Texans plus plus the two and

680
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 3: a half. Yeah, I mean, I trust Harbor on Herbert

681
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 3: and I don't think that I don't think that Houston.

682
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 3: I think they're on a downward slope, but they definitely

683
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 3: have lost a little bit of a mite since the

684
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 3: Tank Dell And who's to know if they have been,

685
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 3: you know, given it, they're all given that. They were

686
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 3: locked into that. CD could see it going some other way.

687
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 3: But I'm comfortable with the charges.

688
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: Here, all right, So we're somewhat opposed, but not really.

689
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's weird because we're looking at it two

690
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 2: different numbers. The rest of these we at there is

691
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 2: no line discrepancy across books. So the rest of these

692
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 2: were either going to be exactly aligne or exactly just so.

693
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 3: If even if the if it were Chargers minus three

694
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 3: and a half, or I might minus three, sorry, I'd

695
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 3: still be taking it. Just want that record.

696
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 2: That's what I figured, all right. Next game, Pittsburgh getting

697
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 2: nine and a half at Baltimore. This one will surprise

698
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 2: no one. I'll take Pittsburgh. I think this is like

699
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 2: how most Pit Baltimore games are, which are low scoring

700
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 2: and close. That the one a few weeks ago obviously

701
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: wasn't that. But that game got thrown askew by two

702
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 2: horrifying Russell Wilson mistakes. When it was it was seven

703
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 2: to seven, they're driving to score, Russ fumbles at the

704
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: two and then they're down seven after Lamar's only mistake

705
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 2: of the game, A game Lamar played great in after

706
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 2: the Lamar picked late third quarter and Russ immediately throws

707
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 2: a pick six and now they're down fourteen in the game.

708
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 2: So were the first matchup Pittsburgh won, but they didn't

709
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 2: score a touchdown and that was the is justin Tucker

710
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: cooked game, So that was you know, I just think

711
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 2: nine and a half points is insulting in too much. Now,

712
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 2: maybe Derrick Henry runs wild and the Pittsburgh's offense. They've

713
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 2: lost four consecutive games headed into the postseason, which is

714
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 2: damn near unprecedented. But all still take Pittsburgh plus the

715
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 2: nine and a half. Uh, go ahead, Demons.

716
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking Pittsburgh plus the nine and a half

717
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 3: as well.

718
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

719
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 3: But seeing this game and then going to the next game,

720
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 3: is it is kind of crazy, like Pittsburgh was not

721
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 3: there were nine and a half point dogs and then Yeah,

722
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not I'm not gonna say I'm gonna

723
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 3: be smart like I'm a Ravens fan. I think that

724
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 3: the Ravens is gonna win the game. But nine and

725
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 3: a half points is a lot of points. It's obviously

726
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 3: a team in your vision points they always play tight.

727
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 3: It's yeah, I don't. That's I'm not doing that.

728
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 2: But yeah, so that's the the other thing. And brew

729
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 2: and I got into this a bit on the show,

730
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 2: which is I said I would be surprised if Baltimore

731
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 2: scores twenty four more than twenty four. I said, I said,

732
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 2: score twenty four or more than twenty four like that.

733
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 2: I think that this game, they don't get to the

734
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 2: high twenties or thirties, and so to cover this number,

735
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 2: I think they'd have to. I don't think that it's

736
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 2: gonna be twenty three to seven, like I think Pittsburgh's

737
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: gonna be able to muster somewhere from fourteen to eighteen points.

738
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 2: So how many points do I really think Baltimore is

739
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 2: gonna score? Not enough to cover it, So I'll take

740
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh plus the nine and a half. You're saying the

741
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 2: numbers crazy because Pittsburgh's nine and a half point dogs

742
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 2: while Denver's only eight and a half point dogs.

743
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's yeah, say to me, so Vegas

744
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 3: is just saying getting over the Wolves this year's that's

745
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 3: That's what I'm seeing.

746
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 2: Maybe spread but yeah, So Josh Allen in the wild

747
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 2: card round is an absolute monster for his career, and

748
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 2: it usually is against a totally overmatched quarterback and he cooks.

749
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,720
Speaker 2: So Josh Allen the last four years in the wild

750
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: card round has faced Colt's Philip Rivers, who was cooked,

751
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:40,280
Speaker 2: Mac Jones, Skyler Thompson, and Mason Rudolph oh Now, Now,

752
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: to be fair, those haven't all been blowouts. But as

753
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 2: far as Josh's production against those teams thirteen touchdowns, two picks,

754
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 2: a one to eleven rating, and as far as the

755
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 2: Bill's offensive production again the last four years in the

756
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 2: wildcard round, twenty seven points against the Colts, forty seven

757
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 2: against the Patriots, thirty four against Miami, thirty one against Pittsburgh. Now, again,

758
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,919
Speaker 2: to be fair, the Colts and Dolphins games, they ended

759
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 2: up winning by three, so they weren't blowouts. And I

760
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 2: understand Sean Payton and bow Knicks have had an unbelievable season,

761
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 2: but ultimately, this is a rookie quarterback on the road

762
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 2: in the playoffs in Buffalo. I do not think this

763
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 2: game is going to be close. I do not think

764
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 2: Denver is going to have the answers, and I do

765
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 2: not think bow Knicks is going to look how he

766
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 2: looked the last few weeks. So I like Buffalo laying

767
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 2: the eight and a half. I would love for the

768
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 2: Broncos to beat the Bills. If there is it's not

769
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 2: a big one. But there is a world that exists

770
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 2: where Patrick maho Holmes's path to the super Bowl goes

771
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 2: through bow Nicks and Russell Wilson. And that's a world

772
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: I would love to live in. But I don't think

773
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 2: that's the world we're going to live in. I think Mahomes'

774
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 2: path the super Bowl is going to go through either

775
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 2: Stroud or Herbert and then Josh Allen, and if it's

776
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 2: not Josh Allen, it'll be Lamar. But Buffalo, I think

777
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 2: blows out the Broncos. I think this is a over

778
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 2: in the third quarter type of game, like thirty one thirteen.

779
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 2: So I'll take Buffalo laying the eight and a half.

780
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

781
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna take Denver plus eight and a half. Yeah, wow,

782
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 3: after everything you just said, Yeah, I think Bonix he's

783
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 3: like baby Josh Allen, But I think eight and a

784
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 3: half points that's a lot. I think they'll be able

785
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 3: to hang Uh yeah, No, Rocket Ricket quarterback. I like

786
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 3: Sean Payton. I trust him and Bo Nicks isn't your

787
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 3: average rookie. He's a little bit older, a little bit

788
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 3: more seasoned.

789
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 2: Uh, that's definitely true.

790
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 3: He also has that I don't want to be corny

791
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 3: or anything, but he has he's got some dog in him,

792
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 3: and I like it. And I think that that part's

793
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 3: all true.

794
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 2: And the Sean Payton angle, I do, they do have

795
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 2: a coaching edge. I just don't. I think that we're

796
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 2: gonna see a bad bon Knicks game, rookie quarterback, road, freezing,

797
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 2: cold weather, buffalo, all of it. I I do like

798
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 2: a little bit for him that it's not at night.

799
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 2: I think that actually makes it slightly less intimidating atmosphere.

800
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 3: But I still think he's, Oh, he's used to the cold, and.

801
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 2: He played college football for a year at Oregon. I understand.

802
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 2: I'm not thinking he can't play in the cold. I'm

803
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 2: just thinking it's just the atmosphere. It's probably too much,

804
00:53:57,960 --> 00:53:59,959
Speaker 2: all right. Next one maybe the game of the week

805
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 2: and game that's on Fox Philly, laying four and a

806
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 2: half at home against Green Bay. I when I went

807
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 2: through and guessed the lines before they came or right

808
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 2: when they came out, before i'd seen them I thought

809
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 2: this was going to be Philly minus seven. Jeez, And

810
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 2: when I saw it was four and a half, I

811
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 2: was like, Oh, they're baking in that Jalen. Like what

812
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 2: I thought that was saying was they're worried about Jalen

813
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 2: and they're splitting the difference on Well, if he plays,

814
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,439
Speaker 2: it'll be seven and a half. If he doesn't, it'll

815
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 2: be basically a pick'm we're gonna set the line in

816
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 2: the middle. That's not what's happened. They Jalen Hurts is

817
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 2: pretty clearly playing. It has stuck at four and a half.

818
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 2: I love Philly here. I know Jalen hasn't played in

819
00:54:55,800 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 2: a month. I get that, But this is again, prior

820
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 2: to the Packers upsetting the Cowboys in this exact scenario

821
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 2: a two versus seven, the two versus seven playoff games

822
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 2: have been absolute laughers. So I want to go through

823
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 2: it real quick. So one of the reasons that I

824
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 2: felt this way about the Bills Broncos is because it's

825
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 2: a two to seven game. The first year we had

826
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 2: a two to seven playoff field was twenty twenty. One

827
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 2: of those games was that Bill's Colts game that I

828
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 2: just talked about the Bills did only win by three.

829
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 2: The other one New Orleans Chicago. I don't even remember

830
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 2: that game at all. New Orleans won twenty one to nine.

831
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,720
Speaker 2: The next year, the two seven games Philly Tampa. Tampa

832
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 2: won thirty one to fifteen. Kan City Pittsburgh Kmsity won

833
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 2: forty two twenty one. The next year, the two seven

834
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 2: playoff games were Buffalo Miami. Again, Buffalo has been involved

835
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 2: in some of these close ones. They beat Skyler Thompson

836
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 2: Miami thirty four to thirty one, and San Francisco Seattle.

837
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 2: San Francisco won forty one to twenty three. Last year, obviously,

838
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 2: the Packers had the first ever two seven upset, but

839
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 2: the two to seven game in the AFC was Buffalo

840
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh thirty one seventeen. A lot of blowouts in these spots,

841
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 2: only one upset. I think Saquan.

842
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 3: Rested and fresh by this team.

843
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 2: The one upset was Green Bay in this exact spot

844
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 2: last year. No, that's totally fair. Uh. I like Philly.

845
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 2: I think Philly's gonna look awesome. This to me feels

846
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 2: like a thirty one to twenty Philly victory. So I'll

847
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 2: lay the four and a half.

848
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 3: All right, I'm sticking with my guy, Jordan Love. I'm

849
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 3: taking green Bay plus the four and a half. I

850
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 3: think that Philadelphia. I don't think green Bay is a

851
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 3: type of type of team to melt down. And I've

852
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 3: seen Philly melt down, and I think if something's not working,

853
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 3: then green Bay can capitalize on that. I like Jordan Love,

854
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 3: I'm going with Packers.

855
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: We're opposed on a lot of these.

856
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 3: I like like Philly minus two and a half, maybe

857
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 3: like three. I like green Bay in the points. But yeah, no,

858
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 3: I'm glad we've got some conflicted ones.

859
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. Next one, Tampa minus three at home

860
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 2: against Washington. It's just a rookie quarterback on the road

861
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 2: and so and I'm not I don't even have to

862
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 2: lay a big number. I think Tampa is, as Wilde

863
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 2: would say, first team all vibes with the Mike Evans stuff.

864
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 2: Baker didn't play great in the first half against the Saints,

865
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 2: was awesome late. Tampa has immense postseason experience. Fifth straight

866
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 2: year they're in the playoffs, fourth straight year they won

867
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 2: the division. I just like I like how Baker's playing.

868
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 2: I like how they responded after trailing the Saints. Throughout

869
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 2: a lot of that game, even though trailing the Saints

870
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 2: in general is not great and Jade and Daniels, it's

871
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 2: been a great year for Jaden. But I think it

872
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 2: comes to an end here, and I love that I

873
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 2: don't have to do lay the hook, So laying just

874
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 2: three Tampa minus three, I'm rolling with.

875
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 3: And if if Jade went out, if he went out

876
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 3: there and won that game, that's so cute.

877
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 2: It's massive.

878
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

879
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 2: And if he goes out there and wins that game,

880
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 2: they unless the Eagles upset the I'm sorry, the Packers

881
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 2: upset the Eagles, then he gets to go play Detroit

882
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 2: in round two. That'd be unbelievable. But I just I

883
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 2: don't I like Tampa minus three. I think you do

884
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 2: as well.

885
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly, same, same exact reasons. Just the Baker makes.

886
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 2: Sense here, all right. And then the last one, we

887
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 2: don't even have to spend much time on it because

888
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 2: everyone knows where I'm gonna go. The Rams getting one

889
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 2: and a half against Minnesota, I get Matt Stafford and

890
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 2: Sean McVay at home. They were there. They're undefeated at

891
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 2: home or on a neutral site, and by the way,

892
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 2: at neutral site, wasn't a neutral site in the playoffs.

893
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 2: That super Bowl was in Los Angeles, so they've played.

894
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 2: I know it was called a neutral site, but they've

895
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 2: never They're three to zero in so far in the postseason.

896
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 2: Uh that vikings. I think Darnold goes into this game

897
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 2: pretty anxious and the Rams defense has been unbelievable and

898
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 2: so and Kevin O'Connell, as much as everyone likes him,

899
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 2: he's coached one playoff game ever and he lost at

900
00:59:56,440 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 2: home to Daniel Jones. So I'll just take the better coach,

901
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 2: it's the better quarterback. I'll take the Rams getting a

902
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 2: point and a half. And I think the Rams are

903
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 2: a dangerous, dangerous NFC team.

904
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you. There, Rams plus one and

905
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 3: a half. I think we've seen what uh what's gonna

906
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 3: happen with Darnold. I don't I think they turned their

907
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 3: pressure on and he's cooked.

908
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 2: But uh, okay, Yeah, so you don't have a teaser

909
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 2: this week. Here is a teaser that I will be

910
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 2: making and a teaser that you might like part of

911
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 2: and then take the other side of. So the Rams

912
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 2: are getting one and a half, A six point teaser

913
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 2: gets them up to seven and a half. I get

914
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 2: through all the key numbers, so I like that. And

915
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 2: then the Bills are laying eight and a half. A

916
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 2: six point teaser gets them back through the other direction

917
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 2: the key numbers to minus two and a half. Now

918
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 2: you you might like the Rams leg plus the opposite

919
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 2: of the Bill's leg where you take Denver up through

920
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 2: ten and thirteen and fourteen.

921
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 3: I'm done doing the like the high note, like I

922
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 3: think I would put that, I would put it more

923
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 3: towards the Bills. I'm not gonna give more to.

924
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 2: That because you don't think because you think so. Your

925
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 2: Denver pick is you don't think they get blown out,

926
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 2: but yeah, you don't think they're gonna win. So yeah,

927
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 2: so I so I really like And now the other

928
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 2: you probably because you like these seven pointers or whatever,

929
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 2: you might be a bigger fan of teasing Baltimore down

930
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 2: to two and a half nine and a half.

931
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 3: My initial when he talked teaser Pittsburgh was like the

932
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 3: first thing that comes to mind for me, Like, I

933
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 3: was just teasing Pittsburgh up as much as I could.

934
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you just said you didn't want to do

935
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 2: the big number of teasers you literally.

936
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 3: I did, I did, I did just say that. But

937
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 3: like with that, with that game, I think that game's

938
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 3: a little bit different from from uh Denver, from Denver

939
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 3: playing Buffalo.

940
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 2: I'm saying, but if you the so I listen, I'm

941
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 2: gonna make it demonse. You can you think on it

942
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 2: and tweet it out if you want to do one,

943
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 2: or you can just say it now. I'm going to

944
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 2: make this bet. The Rams teased up to plus six

945
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 2: and a half, the Bills teased down to minus two

946
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 2: and a half. And I just listen, If I lose

947
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 2: this because Buffalo doesn't cover the two and a half,

948
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 2: that probably means Buffalo just got eliminated from the playoffs.

949
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 2: And I gotta tell you that wouldn't disappoint me. So

950
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 2: if I if I lose the bet, I'll lose it

951
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 2: with a smile on my face because if the Chiefs

952
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 2: don't have to go through this Bills team in the postseason,

953
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 2: I'll be very happy. So the pick recaps are for me.

954
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 2: I've got how many dogs, how many favorites? I've got

955
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 2: three dogs, three favorites. Houston plus three against the true Chargers,

956
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh getting nine and a half at Baltimore, Buffalo laying

957
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 2: the eight and a half, Philly laying the four and

958
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 2: a half, Tampa laying the three, and the Rams getting

959
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 2: one and a half. Demon has the same last two

960
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 2: as me, but Andy has Pittsburgh same as me, but

961
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 2: he has the Chargers laying two and a half, Denver

962
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 2: getting the eight and a half, and the Packers getting

963
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 2: four and a half. All right, let's do the offer.

964
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 2: Which are the producers really up twenty two units on

965
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 2: these offers that I have?

966
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 3: They hit these offers. I feel like they hit at

967
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 3: least four or five a year, like we're doing the

968
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 3: pod from Trinsitch both of us. I'm pretty sure, like

969
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 3: the offer I hit on like five weeks straight.

970
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 2: All right, well maybe, goh, let's see if we'll take

971
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 2: this one.

972
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 3: So this week's offer is we got Jalen McMillan, the

973
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 3: Bucks ride receiver. So he's gotten one or more touchdowns

974
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 3: in each of his last five games, and he scored

975
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 3: versus Washington in Week one as well, So we got

976
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 3: Jayleen McMillan. Anytime touchdown scores plus one seventy Do you

977
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 3: want that?

978
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 2: No? Sorry? Uh, I know that. I said the producers

979
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 2: have been hot, they've been hitting, But no, I'm not

980
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 2: the here's the problem with for me, with the offer,

981
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 2: and it's not a problem with the producers. It's a

982
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 2: problem with the just the offer always involves a player

983
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 2: prop or multiple player props, and in general I don't

984
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 2: think those are great value. And so I'm just my

985
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 2: natural reflexive answer is that I say no to it

986
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 2: and listen. I hope the producers keep hitting, uh, And

987
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 2: so that's you know, I hope the producers keep hitting.

988
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 3: All watching Kelsey touchdown Millan and Kelly.

989
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 2: Well that next week, Kelsey is three hundred and fifty

990
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 2: yards and three touchdowns away from break jarr or from

991
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 2: tying Jerry Rice for the most yards in playoff history

992
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 2: running or receiving, and the most touchdowns in playoff history

993
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 2: running or receiving. He's already first all time in catches,

994
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 2: and he's first all time in something else. I can't

995
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 2: even remember, maybe yards per game. So we'll see if

996
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 2: there's some Kelsey stuff a week from now. All right,

997
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 2: quick break right back, and let's do some listener questions.

998
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 2: What's right? All right? Welcome back in What's Right with

999
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 2: Think Right? Episode two ninety one, Demons, Let's do these

1000
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 2: listener questions real.

1001
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 3: Quick Curtis says which one would have a bigger impact

1002
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 3: on Patrick mahomes legacy, winning the Super Bowl this year

1003
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 3: to three peat or next season breaking Peyton mannings his

1004
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 3: story twenty thirteen statistical season.

1005
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 2: I mean it's not even it's not even close. A

1006
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 2: three peat this year cements Mahomes and this Chiefs team

1007
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 2: in a way no regular season numbers could ever come

1008
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 2: close to. So it's the three peat by by an

1009
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 2: absolute mile.

1010
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 3: Next, Andrew hey Nick, if the Bears hire Ben Johnson,

1011
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 3: what do you think of hiring Bob Sala as a

1012
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,479
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator, first time head coach being able to pass

1013
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 3: the DTA Sala take a breath here and focus on

1014
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 3: offense and situational football thoughts.

1015
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 2: Listen. I'd love that. I think that would be great.

1016
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna be available to them. I

1017
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 2: think if Bob Sala doesn't get a head coaching job,

1018
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 2: which maybe he will, he's gonna go back to the

1019
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,919
Speaker 2: Niners to be their defensive coordinator. So I think that

1020
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 2: it's pretty I don't think any other team's gonna have

1021
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,919
Speaker 2: a real chance of hiring him because it's either gonna

1022
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 2: be head coach, which would be odd, but maybe it'll happen.

1023
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll be looking. Well, the Jets fell apart without him.

1024
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 2: I mean they weren't great with him, but they were

1025
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 2: terrible once he left. If not, he'll just go back

1026
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 2: to the Niners. I would imagine, next.

1027
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 3: Neil, if Jalb Hurts leads the Eagles back to the

1028
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 3: Super out duels Mahomes again and wins it this time,

1029
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 3: are we gonna give him credit as the top three quarterback?

1030
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 2: First of all? The out duels Mahomes again part of it?

1031
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1032
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 2: Uh. But the answer to that question is probably if

1033
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 2: the Eagles go to the Super Bowl and Jalen Hurts

1034
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 2: let's just remove the word again, beats Patrick Mahomes and

1035
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 2: outplays him, will people think he's top three quarterback? Yeah?

1036
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 2: The answer that's yeah. Next it's I mean, I don't

1037
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 2: think it's gonna happen, but.

1038
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Austin, what do you think is more likely for

1039
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 3: Josh Allen a career like John Elway or more akin

1040
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 3: to Bill's legend Jim Kelly kin oh a kin Mark

1041
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 3: my bad a kin to Bill's legend Jim Kelly, where

1042
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 3: he always gets close but never completely breaks through.

1043
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 2: I think John Elway. I think the I don't know

1044
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 2: about getting to five Super Bowls and winning two like

1045
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 2: John Elway did, but I think I eventually, John Listen, guys, eventually,

1046
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 2: some people other than Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are

1047
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 2: gonna win Super Bowls. Not this year, but eventually it's

1048
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 2: gonna happen. And Josh Allen's very high on that list

1049
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 2: of the guys who it's most likely to happen to.

1050
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 3: Next last one, uh Kafrikas is the Rams defensive line,

1051
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 3: the strongest unit no one talks about. They are young

1052
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 3: and always seem to impact games, and.

1053
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 2: It's one of the reasons I really like this. Rams seem,

1054
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 2: love the coach, love the quarterback, and all of a

1055
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 2: sudden they have a young, fast, good defense, Chiefs Rams

1056
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 2: super Bowl is very very in play, very in play,

1057
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 2: and that would be unbelievable, especially because I think Golf

1058
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 2: is one of the only starting maybe the only start.

1059
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 2: I think golf is the only active starting quarterback. Mahomes

1060
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 2: has played more than once and never beaten. I think

1061
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 2: Mahomes is zero to two against Jared Goff. I think

1062
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 2: I'm not certain on that, so that would be a

1063
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 2: fun one too. All right, great job. Demon's a great job.

1064
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 2: My friend's at Blue Dock. Great up Shane, who ups us?
