1
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Daily, where we're ready for eight

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: days of football out of ten.

3
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm Greg Rosenthal in the Chris Wesley podcast studio. I'm

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: with my friend Cynthia Freeland, and yes, it's your favorite

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: time of the week. Cynthia, we're gonna make three picks

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: against the spread.

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: Well today we're matching. Yeah, so, I mean we.

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 3: Got our producer pointed it out to us, so I

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: had to point it out too. But I'm wearing the

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: hat because I haven't been a makeup yet, and I

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 3: big ZiT on my phone.

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: Oh you look beautiful. But I like the look with

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: the hat a little, you know, but it's fun.

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 3: It's a fun like you know, holiday hat. It's a

16
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 3: little soft, and you know, it works. I think I

17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 3: feel like it really adds to the ambiance.

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: Yes, and you know, most of our listeners are as podcasts,

19
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: you know listeners. But the YouTube numbers are growing. We

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: appreciate you. Always saw the subscribers went over fifty k.

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Let's get up numbers game at ten K numbers game.

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: Let let's go, oh get that going. Everyone follow Cynthia

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: there and let's throw the records up from last week.

24
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: Another successful week of man versus machine. We both went

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: too and one. I'm at twenty six and nineteen on

26
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: the season. You're a couple games back, but you're well

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: in the green and so we're doing well.

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: Let's keep it rolling. Let's have you go with the

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: first pick? All right? Right now?

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 3: What are you seeing as the line for the Cincinnati

31
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: Bengals against the Browns?

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: Seven and a half was the last time I saw it?

33
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 3: Yep, I think even though I hate that number seven

34
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: and a half just because it feels like, you know,

35
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 3: a little bit of disaster is annoying, I still really

36
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: like it. So I'm gonna go with the Cincinnati Bengals.

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: I have a nine point win, and you know, my

38
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 3: model's pretty conservative, so if I'm going that high. We

39
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: just saw reports Miles Garrett like not fully healthy, that's

40
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: also good news. So if you're on my side of

41
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: this equation, so I'm going I'm going with that one. First,

42
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: How do you feel about that one?

43
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: I like that. It scares me.

44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't know bline would be with Jamis, but the

45
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: fact that it's Dorian Thompson Robinson DTR makes.

46
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: You feel a lot better about it.

47
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: I would imagine, is Jamis really worth like two or

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: three points over dtr That's crazy because to me, actually

49
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: he would be I'm good with the Bengals. Now, if

50
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: it was Bengals minus six even and Jamis was involved,

51
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to get involved, just just because of

52
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: the variants factor.

53
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: Well, I've also got possibly no David in Joku, so

54
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: it does make it a lot easier to defend Jerry

55
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: Judy if he's pretty much the only pass catching threat.

56
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: So that's the other thing to potentially know David and

57
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: Joku some beannged of defensive points. I think Joe Burrow

58
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: wants to He's out there trying to prove something. So

59
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: again I don't love that number as like a number

60
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: seven and.

61
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: A half the hook woof.

62
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: But right in a team I'm in that at times

63
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: they've had some trouble with and yet I do think

64
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: it matters when you get this late in the season

65
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: and you have one team that is playing for something. Yep,

66
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals have a very realistic chance to be alive

67
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: in the playoff un in week eighteen. Now, whether whether

68
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: they could get everything to work out for them, we'll see.

69
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: But if they can win this week, they get they

70
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: get Denver next week, and they could basically stay alive

71
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: by beating Denver, and then you get to week eighteen

72
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: and you never know. So I like a pulse. I

73
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: just yeah, Okay, one of my favorite picks of the

74
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: year year right here. Okay, it's your Lions minus six

75
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: and a half.

76
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 2: Oh, there's so much concern about what they don't have. Oh,

77
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: they don't have this, they don't have that. Well, yeah,

78
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: they're sixteen defensive players on IR you know it a lot.

79
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: You know what.

80
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about that winning when they play other good teams. Correct,

81
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions are one of the best regular season

82
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: teams I've ever seen. Now they're not exactly that team anymore.

83
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: The two losses they had last week weren't just regular players.

84
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Alien McNeil was the most valuable player on their defensive

85
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: line that was still healthy. And Carlton Davis is really

86
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: important for what they do. I worry about that a

87
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: little more longer term. But let's not get carried away.

88
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: Allie McNeil and Carlton Davis are not moving the line

89
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: x amount of points. Great teams, respawn, they're a great team.

90
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: They're playing a dead Bears team like Thomas Brown unfortunately

91
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: got put as a head coach, where he would be

92
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: better off probably just calling the plays. There's too much

93
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: going on. I've watched the Bears offense last couple weeks,

94
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: and the progress that they were making under Thomas Brown

95
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: seems to have backslid. Caleb Williams is a little lost.

96
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: I actually think the Lions have enough upfront still to

97
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: be very competitive defensively in this game, and they're plenty

98
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: healthy on offense. I miss David Montgomery, but in this game,

99
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: it's not gonna matter that much. I would say my

100
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: over under for Lions offensive points in this game is

101
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: about thirty seven. They are gonna want to shut everyone up,

102
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna have the best pregame speech, They're gonna be

103
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: as focused as possible after that loss. I just think

104
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: we get the very best of the Lions, So I

105
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: honestly would We can't do this on this show, but

106
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: like you know, if you're out there and you're actually

107
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: the world can make alternate Lions on your own. I

108
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: would jack this thing up, okay and see if we

109
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: can go way over it, because that's how I feel

110
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: about this Lions team. I'm going about thirty seven to seventeen.

111
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: That feels great to me.

112
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 3: Well, your lips to whoever's in charges Ears, and I

113
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 3: hope that plays out like that. I am not putting

114
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: them as one of my favorites, okay, I do have that.

115
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: Hand has nothing to do with you being a Lions fan.

116
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: This was really the one when I was like, okay,

117
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: who are the one? Oh? I was like, oh, Bears,

118
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: that's going to be minus ten, right, and it's like, no,

119
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: it's minus six and a half.

120
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: I love that. I think that's a great number. That's

121
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: an incredible one. Okay, I'm sticking to my theme.

122
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: I have a theme this week, and that's play teams

123
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: that are hungry for a playoff against teams that maybe.

124
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 2: Aren't got it. I love it.

125
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: Well, this team's already in the playoffs, they've already won

126
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 3: their division. But they're looking at the one seed. That's

127
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: the Bills. They are fourteen. Wow, at least that four?

128
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 3: Was it fourteen or fourteen or four fourteen? Okay, for

129
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: I don't care. They're playing at home, they're playing the Patriots.

130
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that I don't think the Patriots are good.

131
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: I'm saying I think the Bills need to figure some

132
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: things out with their passing game, and I think this

133
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: will be the game that they're not gonna, like, you know, experiment,

134
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: but I think they're going to experiment. I don't think

135
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: this is gonna be a Josh Allen Rushes for sixty

136
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: yards type of game. I think this is gonna be

137
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: a game where they hand the ball off to James Cook,

138
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: but they get in the end zone. They pass the

139
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 3: ball to the intermediate level, but they get in the

140
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: end zone. I know that Christian Gonzalez is really, really good,

141
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, I love him, But there's other

142
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: places where you can pass the ball that aren't Christian Gonzales.

143
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 3: And this is a situation where if these Bills want

144
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: to potentially kind of make up the ground, they if

145
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: the and if there's any way that the Texans knock

146
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: off the Chiefs, which I don't have happening, but we

147
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: will already know that result by the time the Bills play,

148
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: then I would expect big time by the Bills.

149
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: Wow, fourteen, that's a lot. Sometimes I'm only going by

150
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: the math. Man. Yeah, I love it. The Bills offense.

151
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I said thirty seven was about my over

152
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 1: under for Lions points. That's about the same for Bills

153
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. The risk would be Jake may is

154
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: playing at a high level, not getting not getting a

155
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: lot of help.

156
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: But could they could they get some, but they need

157
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: to play and this is at home. I like it.

158
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't love it, but I like it.

159
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: I like it because you did it, and I like

160
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: whatever you do, Cynthia, even if you're going against my Patriots,

161
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: I see what you did.

162
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: Not going against your pageos.

163
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: I have three other games written down and I'm struggling

164
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: with which to pick. But over the course of this season,

165
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: fading the Cowboys has been a winning.

166
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: Proposition for that. That's been the move.

167
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: Now lately, I haven't been for the most part, and

168
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: their defense is really playing better since Michael Parsons is back.

169
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: But I think the Bucks indoors. I know it's in Dallas,

170
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: but I'm not giving them much credit for home fields advantage.

171
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: I'd rather I'd rather have a climate controlled environment for

172
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: an elite offense, and that's what the Buccaneers are with

173
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen in Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans going for

174
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: a thousand yards and the way their offensive line is playing.

175
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: So I think this is the rare team that have

176
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: big Buccaneers who are favored by four in Dallas, that

177
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: they can.

178
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: Really slow down what the Cowboys do well.

179
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: And the numbers would say the Cowboys are actually one of,

180
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: if not the best pass rush team in the league

181
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: since Parsons got back. They are that good and that's

182
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: kept them in games that helped them win last week

183
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: against Carolina. But Tampa's offensive line is kind of a

184
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: story that hasn't been talked about that much. Geta Key

185
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: and Wurfs are as good as a tackle duo as

186
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: there is. They might have some Pro bowlers on the

187
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: inside with Cody mock Like, they're really good, and so

188
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: I think they can mitigate the one thing Dallas is

189
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: special about. Cowboys have figured some things out offensively. So

190
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: it's why I was saying, I'm struggling between these three.

191
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't love love any of my other picks, but

192
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: I do think Tampa Bay minus four when I go

193
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: to bed Saturday night, I'm feeling easy that that's one

194
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: of my three man versus model picks. And you might

195
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: have to stay up late, you know, on the East

196
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Coast to watch this because I don't think it's going

197
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: to be some sort of blowout. But I think they

198
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: win by seven or eight and they get it done

199
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: for me and get me another win. All right, give

200
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: me your third.

201
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 2: I was I like that one a ton, but you

202
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: could do that as well if Okay, I think we should.

203
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: I think we like. I don't love love it, but

204
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: I like it a lot. You're trying to catch up,

205
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 2: I see. Yeah.

206
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: So in an interesting turn of events, I know that

207
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: it's always you know, divisional games got to throw out

208
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: the record, but this could potentially be the eagles last

209
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 3: away game until the freaking Super Bowl.

210
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: Think about it. If they go into whatever they you know, Bedexfield,

211
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: but it's where where is it? Landover? Where does it?

212
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: It's in Landover marya Landover Maryland?

213
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: Because I know there was a big like fight over

214
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 3: you know, they wanted to move back to DC. Elon

215
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: Musk said no, it's not gonna do it. But I

216
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 3: was reading about that earlier. But ultimately they go into Landover,

217
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: they take the win by at least three and a

218
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: half points, by more than three and a half points,

219
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 3: and then they don't play on the road again.

220
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 2: Until a potential Super Bowl. That is bananas.

221
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: That is scary for the rest of the NFC. They

222
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: are a team that knows how to win games like

223
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: they won against the Commanders the first time around. Now,

224
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: if you remember, Jalen Hurts was quite sloppy.

225
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: In that game.

226
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: In the beginning of the game was not great, and

227
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: then by the end just the physical dominance that they

228
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: had on both lines just overwhelmed it.

229
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: And they didn't even need great quarterback play.

230
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: They have such a huge margin for air that I

231
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: don't am I allowed to join you as as my

232
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: third pick, so you will see I had two more

233
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: picks written down.

234
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: I like it, and I.

235
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: Just wanted to get more like another game in I

236
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: just feel comfortable, yeah with that not amazing because I

237
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: think that line three and a half, everyone loves that.

238
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: The way that the Eagles have looked it like looks

239
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: too easy.

240
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: And yet show me the good game that the Commanders

241
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: have played against quality competition. Actually show me like the

242
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: great Commanders game that they've played period over the last

243
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: couple of months.

244
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, it was the Titans. I mean, they did

245
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: what they needed to do, But I don't know if

246
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: I think that was a great team, like.

247
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: The fact that they stopped moving the ball against the

248
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: Saints in the Superdome and let them back in that

249
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: game coming off of thereby, I just don't think they're

250
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: ready for this moment. And quietly, they've had some injuries

251
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: on the offensive side that I think hurt them, Noah

252
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: Brown and Austin Eckler being and zach Ertz may not play.

253
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: It sounds like zach Ertz is probably out for this game.

254
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with you, Philly minus three and

255
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: a half. I only have one Greg stra As. Our

256
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: producer Hite them would say this week. The Greg Stras

257
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: did well the last couple times they did him.

258
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: I do like the Giants plus eight and a half

259
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. Agreed.

260
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: It was actually my number two pick until I looked

261
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: at the injury report and they're not gonna have burns

262
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: or okaake in this game. It appears they haven't been

263
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: at practice this week, and if those guys get healthy,

264
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: I actually like that one better than Philadelphia. But as

265
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: of this taping, they're not at practice, and that's just

266
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: too much. They are already so in on the defensive

267
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and now you're taking away two

268
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: of their best three remaining players. I hate taking like

269
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: a Falcons team with a rookie quarterback eight and a

270
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: half is just so much.

271
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: It seems ridiculous to me.

272
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: So if I had to choose a side, I'm still

273
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: on the Giants, but it's just not one of my

274
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: three favorite picks of the week.

275
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: I jump just over to your side.

276
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for doing that and taking your Eagles dine,

277
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: but that is how I feel.

278
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: You're the one who has the box with the extracy.

279
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: When I was talking about sleeping at night, like when

280
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: I go to sleep at night on Saturday, if I

281
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: know Burns and Okara Kate aren't there on top of

282
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: all the other problems that the Giants have, I just.

283
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: Like, I don't want to bother with it.

284
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,599
Speaker 1: Although I do think they'll probably cover eight and a

285
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: half with Drew Locke.

286
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: I like lock being in there better than Devido.

287
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but I also think like the I mean,

288
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: if Pennock surprises them with some stuff, it could be

289
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: nine points, you know what I'm saying. Like I'm not

290
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: saying it'll be like some crazy thing like last minute.

291
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 3: You know they're trying some things at the end instead

292
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: of like a gate trying to do a like a

293
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: two minute drill in the middle of the second half.

294
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: It's supposed to try to learn some stuff, right, Like,

295
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 3: I don't understand this move necessarily you were still a

296
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: playoff contender.

297
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 2: Oh I love the move. I don't hate the move,

298
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: but I don't understand.

299
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: I guess I just don't quite Why not put him

300
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 3: in there a couple of times for a few change

301
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: of pace drives, kind of like the Steelers do with

302
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: Justin Fields as opposed to full tilt, being like you down,

303
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: you up, because.

304
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: And he's a lefty versus a righty like that stuff

305
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: all matters.

306
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Just because Kirk gave him no choice in my mind

307
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: that he start. Last week was the week that he

308
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: just played like a guy with zero confidence that like

309
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: it was almost begging to be taken out. I'm not

310
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: locked into this game because I think Pennox brings some

311
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: real variants that you could tell me that they win

312
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: by they win by twenty five, and like that wouldn't

313
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: totally shock me because they are a better team, their

314
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: defense has been playing better. They could blow him out.

315
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: But because of the variants, he's a rookie quarterback. And

316
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: they're not that great a team either, Like they could

317
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: lose the game outright, So I just I just.

318
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: Ultimately didn't want to go there on this show. Giants,

319
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 2: please listen to me. Don't win this game. Okay, yeah,

320
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: you're right. Don't get that one pick because you know what,

321
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: they don't win this game.

322
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: Oh hell, let's go for another Greg Strap. I'm going

324
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,400

325
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: they're going to mess up this draft pick and they're

326
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: going to beat the Jaguars Raiders because they're playing. They're

327
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: playing so hard for Antoni appears every week. It's a

328
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: it's a very competitive spirited team. I don't know if

329
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: but an ap former Giant there we go. Yeah, but

330
