The model, the computer model, 5 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: Cynthia Freeland. 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: Good to see you. 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 3: Got to be confused with like a real model. 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: No, you could you get a get Ano one who 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: could do it all. 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 3: If you're watching on YouTube, I'm I'm we're looking a 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 3: little harsh. 12 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: It's been Oh stop, oh look, look amazing. 13 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: And yes, while you're there, if you're watching, like subscribe, 14 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: we really love growing the show. So I said, we're 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: back on the winning track. I went and checked our 16 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: picks from a week ago. Unfortunately we couldn't both go 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: undefeated because we went against each other. And I did 18 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: get that Patriots game right over the Bills. They not 19 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: only covered, but they won. Same thing with my Broncos pick. Unfortunately, 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: my pick of the year. I don't know if you 21 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: remember that. 22 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 3: I do you remember that? 23 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: Respect the Buccaneers, no matter how injured they were, exact 24 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: on their name. There were more Seahawks injuries than I expected, 25 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: but that's excuses. So I go to and one you 26 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: got that Bills one wrong. Yeah, but you nailed Washington 27 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: and Indianapolis, who both covered by about a million compared 28 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: to where the line were. So we're on the winning 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: tracks right after a tough start to the season. I'm 30 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: going to give you the first pick, and if you're 31 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: new to the show, we make three picks every single 32 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: week and we do it against the spread, and I 33 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: might have some extras for you today. 34 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 3: Okay, So where are you seeing this New England and 35 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 3: New Orleans line? 36 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 2: I think it's at three and a half. 37 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm good with that. I'm good with the Patriots 38 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: to win by more than three and a half points 39 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: in New Orleans like that. 40 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: You have more confidence maybe than I do as a 41 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: Patriots fan. 42 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 3: Tell me why, Well, for a couple of reasons. Number one, 43 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 3: when I went back and rewatched the Saints game. To 44 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: get five turnovers in a row, that's something that hasn't 45 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 3: happened since like five interceptions from Ryan Fitzpatrick our research packets. 46 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 3: I mean, that's like, that's some pretty crazy stuff and 47 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: that's what it took against the Giants, right, and now 48 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: you have Drake May dealing the situation where he's great 49 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 3: when he's not under pressure. The Saints. Though they have 50 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 3: a decent number of sacks, they're not great under They're 51 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: not causing a lot of pressure. So my sense here 52 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 3: is that I think the Patriots, if there's no let down, 53 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: I don't think it's like a hangover from the Bills win. 54 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: I'm not so worried about that. For me. This one's 55 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 3: maybe let's see the run game improved for the Pats 56 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: in this one. I think it's spilled on that success. 57 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: Plus the defense is like significantly healthier. Christian is all. 58 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 3: It's like that turns out it helps to have your 59 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 3: good players. 60 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: As we tape this, he popped up on Thursday's injury 61 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: report as limited with hamstring injury, which is concerning because 62 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: he wasn't on the injury report Wednesday, So something happened 63 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: during practice. 64 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: We'll have to find out. That would be unfortunate. 65 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: But for you, well, I still would be okay with okay, 66 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: I'm still okay with it. I'm just saying I don't 67 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 3: think they're gonna have a hangover from that. 68 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: Christian More's crushing, he's playing really well, Milton Williams is 69 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: playing well, and the Saints offensive line is not protected 70 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: well I do think it's a mismatch when the Patriots 71 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: offense has the ball. In terms of the coaching, Josh 72 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: McDaniels has done a really good job scheming open receivers 73 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: and making it easier on Drake May, so Drake May 74 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: gets the easy stuff. And then as you saw in 75 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: the Bills game, when they got that cover for me 76 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: and the win. 77 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: I stayed up till four thirty in the morning in 78 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: London watching that. 79 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: Not big not to watch that, I'm not that big 80 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: of a fan, but we taped our recap show, which 81 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: we have to wait for the games then, so we're 82 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: basically on Pacific time. 83 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: Uh. 84 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: And by the time I got back to my hotel 85 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: it was about three thirty and I had to pack 86 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: as well for the next morning. So I'm packing watching 87 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: that game and uh fight as well. 88 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean, wow, that's some That's something I 89 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: feel like you should be like, I'm a huge fan. 90 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: I'm back in no wait a minute, though, I will 91 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 3: have to pick. I'd like got like one little boat 92 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 3: pick And again this is ticky, tacky, because the wins 93 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: a win and we'll take it. But like those three turnovers, 94 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 3: like two were lucky yeah, I mean, sometimes it's better 95 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: to be lucky than good. 96 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: But like, oh, yardage wise, just overall, eyeball test wise, 97 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: that was a game that it felt like the Bills 98 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: were the better team. I still like the fact that 99 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: the Pages are getting so many points, but it felt 100 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: like the Bills should have won that game and would 101 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: have won that game seven or eight times out of ten. 102 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: But that's sports especially, Okay. I've really had a journey 103 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: with my picks this week because because of injuries, things 104 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: keep changing around and I can't believe in the end. 105 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: My favorite pick of the week, at least the one 106 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: that I know I want to take, is Atlanta plus 107 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: four and a half at home against the Buffalo Bills. 108 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: I'm starting to fade the Bills in general. I think 109 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: because of their schedule. 110 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 3: You think like you have a big head from that 111 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 3: late night watch. 112 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: I always have a big head, and it's just growing 113 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,559 Speaker 1: even bigger. Although my record this year in this show, 114 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: it should not it should not be the way. Okay, 115 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: I don't think these two teams are that different, Cynthia, 116 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: So I love a home underdog that. 117 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: You don't think the teams are that different? Do you think, 118 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: Michael Pennix has is in any of much the same 119 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: stratosphere as Josh Allen. 120 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: I think, based on the opponents that they've played and 121 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: what they've put out on the field in twenty twenty five, 122 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: the Bills are a better team than the Falcons. 123 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: The Falcons lost to the Panther. 124 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm glad you brought that up, and that's doing 125 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: a lot to change their numbers. 126 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: They've been impressive the other three games. 127 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: It was a bad game, and even that game, the 128 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: Panthers didn't get over three hundred yards, like, the yardage 129 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: was pretty even. Pennis had a total horror show, and 130 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: that's certainly possibly happened. But if you think about the 131 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: other three games, they actually outgained the Bucks significantly and 132 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: lost at the Buzzer like that, that's not a horrible loss. 133 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: They outplayed a good Commander's team, which granted had Mariota, 134 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: but it was really the offensive performance by the Falcons. 135 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: That was the last game that we saw, and they 136 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: dominated the Vikings in JJ McCarthy in that prime time game. 137 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 2: I just mean their defense, I think is solid, and 138 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: their offense. 139 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: But even a solid defense, it's still Josh yeah. 140 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: And so that's why I think the Bills will likely 141 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: win this game. But when I see a home dog 142 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: four and a half points in a game that kind 143 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: of like the Broncos last week although they were on 144 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: the road, kind of like the Pages, I could see 145 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: them winning this game every Bills season. 146 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: And you know this because they know you're a big 147 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 2: Bill's head. You know you will watch some teams closer 148 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: than others, and the Bills are one of them. 149 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: Yes, if you pay me money, I will watch your team. 150 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: You have worked for the Buffalo Bills yet, yes, so 151 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: of course you know what's one underrated thing can be bought? 152 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 3: Greg. 153 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 2: I mean Kyle knows it, you know, No, of course not, 154 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: of course not. 155 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 3: Actually, if he's listening, I would like a few things, 156 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,119 Speaker 3: and I've been doing a lot of chores lately. 157 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: Okay, so there we go. 158 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. I don't need anything. 159 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: They go through stretches in every season where they just 160 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: hit some lulls. And again, I just think that the 161 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: Falcons offense John Drake London, they figured out some things 162 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: in that game before the bye against Washington. 163 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: I really like what they like. 164 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: I've actually thought Pennix has looked good except for that 165 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: one bad game, and so I trust in their offense. 166 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: I really don't trust in the Bills defense. I think 167 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun, high scoring game on Monday 168 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: Night and it'll just be close and come down to 169 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: the end. 170 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: So I'll take four and a half points. All right, 171 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: what's your second pick? 172 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: Okay, so second pick. There's a few that I really hate, 173 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: but I love this one. Actually, you know what, I 174 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 3: feel really strong about Indianapolis to win. Okay, let's go 175 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: listen to Colts. They did me well last week. Let's 176 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: go back to that Colts. Well, they're at home yet again. 177 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: This time they host Arizona. Now, at the time of 178 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: this recording, if Kyler Murray, I don't think you practiced 179 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: this morning, right, So. 180 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: I don't at this point, I don't think he's gonna play, 181 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: but I don't. 182 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: Does that affect it that much? 183 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: I kind of not really, But I just mean that 184 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 3: the Lions or the line, not the Lions. The line 185 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: could move, but I still think the Colts cover unless 186 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: some crazy line happens. I still think the Colts earn 187 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 3: a good spot. 188 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: It almost looks like the line as of taping has 189 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: already adjusted because it's up to seven. Okay, so it 190 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: has moved up with that Kyler Murray is out of 191 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: practice on Thursday. 192 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 3: If it moves to like ten, then then I might 193 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 3: get a little bit. I might back down from my position, 194 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 3: but I like, we'll send a tweet out correct it. Yeah, 195 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 3: but I think unless it gets to double digits, I 196 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: still think the Colts. It's the Colts are just they're 197 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: on a heater the Cardinals. The thing that the Cardinals 198 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: have been relatively decent at stopping the run. They don't 199 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: really have an answer for Jonathan Taylor's types of run. 200 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: So to me, this is a huge mismatch in favor 201 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 3: of the Ponies. 202 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: I look at their profile, and I'm sure your numbers 203 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: say the same thing. And you see a team that's 204 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: a top two or three team in the NFL that 205 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: they have been a wagon offensively, good enough with your 206 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: guy lou defensively where they can come up with these 207 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: game plans that create turnovers that are different every week. 208 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: You're not sure what you're gonna get. It's not a 209 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: great defense, but it's a good enough defense. It's a 210 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: sport that offense. 211 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 3: Yep. 212 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: I've been back and forth all week. 213 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: I actually had Arizona plus seven written down as my 214 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: one of my maybe extras, it wasn't gonna be one 215 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: of my picks. I'm now crossing that off. I haven't 216 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: really actually felt good about that. 217 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: That sounds like really bad luck. 218 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm basing it too much on vibes that they know 219 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: after last week that it almost feels like they're seasons 220 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: on the line this week if they fall to two 221 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: and four, they have a tough schedule coming up too. 222 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: They are like, you know how they used to stay 223 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: on Twitter, like you never want to be the main 224 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: character on Twitter for the day. No, the Cardinals have 225 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: been the main character in the NFL this week, And 226 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: I just feel like if if they got anything in 227 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: them to show up and play their best game like this, 228 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: this would be it. 229 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: They need it. 230 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: They need it. 231 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: Not that they're going to try harder. I'm not saying that, 232 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: but I do think sometimes when teams are desperate, you 233 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: get a good performance when. 234 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: Your coach has to pay a fine for an interaction 235 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 3: with the player, Like things are bad when you lose 236 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 3: three games in a row on walk off field goals. 237 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 3: Things are bad like that. It's tough, Like it's just 238 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 3: so as much as they might want to or need it, 239 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 3: Like the Titans lost that game. I don't think the 240 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,599 Speaker 3: car you know, if the Titans won that game, I 241 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 3: don't think that the Cardinals lost it like that. The 242 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 3: Titans didn't like sit there and like do something extraordinary, Right, 243 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: you're saying the Cardinals lost. Yes, sorry, Cardinals loss it. 244 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: Point being is like that was a weird The end 245 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: of that game was weird. 246 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: This whole season for the Cardinals was there. They have 247 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: not looked right to me, even though they're two and 248 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: like they got two wins early, but schedule has helped. 249 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm going to cross that one off. 250 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: I would cross that. I mean, especially with the Kyler Mravian. 251 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: And I'm glad you brought up the fine of Jonathan 252 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: Gannon because I keep seeing this argument about oh, now, 253 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, like Demarkata made one of the worst plays 254 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: in the world, and now the coach is the one 255 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: who's getting fine and the coach like whatever happened to 256 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: like accountability, And it's like, how dumb can you be 257 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: he could be in the process of losing that locker room, 258 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: like you have a large group of grown men who 259 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: you need to sacrifice a lot to play as hard 260 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: as they possibly can and believe in everything you're saying. 261 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: And the organization, I think is doing a good job 262 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: of finding Gannon, and Gannon has done a good job 263 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: apologizing about it, because that is one clear way to 264 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: have a lot of your players the most important part 265 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: of your franchise tune you out because he crossed a line. 266 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 3: Also, just on a human level, yes, like there are 267 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 3: ways to punish someone for making a bad play that 268 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 3: are really well like adopted by the general consensus of 269 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: a team. Right, there are things that you know, don't 270 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: play him for a quarter. We see that all the time. 271 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 3: Don't don't do it, don't like confront like it's weird, 272 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: Like it's just it. 273 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: Was right because he's not allowed to hit back in 274 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 2: that situation. 275 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 3: No, you're not allow No one's allowed to. 276 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: I only laughed at I was thinking of whatever happened 277 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: to Jordan Addison in Minnesota's. 278 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 3: What somebody tell me what I think? 279 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: There was some buzz like they just just didn't know 280 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: where he was. They didn't know where he was. But 281 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: he's too good. 282 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: And you can just imagine Kevin O'Connell being like, I 283 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: can't believe I have to go the first quarter without 284 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: Kevin o'c with Jordan Naszaba. I got to do something 285 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, he helped win the game. Okay, 286 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: my second pick. I'm spinning here because as we go 287 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: to tape, mac Jones is reportedly like really limited at 288 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: that forty nine Ers practice, and if they go to 289 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: Adrian Martinez. I just don't want this thing to be 290 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: too out of date, because I was thinking pretty hard 291 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: of the forty nine ers covering the three in Tampa 292 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: because Kyle Shanahan as owner. I really looked at that 293 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles in the last three years, it's been incredibly 294 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: one sided in terms of the yardage. They won three straight, 295 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: they won thirty five to seven a couple of years ago, 296 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: and the yard you know what, it's just too much. 297 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: If mac Jones is seriously compromised, I don't know if 298 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: it's the lion liar who lies playing games on the 299 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: injury report too and saying like the portion that the 300 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: media can see mac Jones looks too limited. I don't 301 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: want to be going with a third quarterback in Rickels, 302 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: so I'm not going to do that one. I have 303 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: settled on Cleveland plus five and a half as one 304 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: of my picks. Okay, Pittsburgh's their opponent, Pittsburgh is hosting them. 305 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: It's a bit of a tough spot for the Browns 306 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: who are coming over from London, whereas the Steelers, who 307 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: are coming from Dublin, had the week off so they 308 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: have extra rest. Don't love that, and they're getting healthier. 309 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: Jalen Warren, Joey Porter Junior returning, Alex Hei Scheme, Alex Heismith. 310 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: I just think the Browns defense is legit good and 311 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: the Steelers offense I don't trust them just based on 312 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: that performance, and five and a half points is enough 313 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: for me. One of my big takeaways from watching that 314 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: game live. I do think Dylan Gabriel is going to 315 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: give this team a better chance to win. I do 316 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: think they've found something in Quinn John Jenkins, great running back. 317 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: They are healthier on the offensive line actually than they've been. 318 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: Jack Conklin is back, the interior is basically there. That 319 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: was a pretty functional looking, mistake free offense by the Browns, 320 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: and all I need is for their defense to play 321 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: well enough for them to lose fourteen to ten or 322 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: seventeen to fourteen or maybe even get an upset when 323 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm not buying this Pittsburgh offensive resurgence. I think it's 324 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: a mismatch when the Steelers have the ball in favor 325 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: of the Browns defense. Let's go Browns covering five and 326 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: a half in a place that they haven't won in 327 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: the regular season for twenty one years. What an outrageous 328 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: stat But they did win in the playoffs. 329 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, fans, I'm rooting for Dylan Gabriel to throw 330 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 3: two touchdown passes because then he becomes the first Browns 331 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: quarterback to have done that in the first two starts. 332 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 2: Okay, let's go, like, I want. 333 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: To see it happen. Make some history, brother. 334 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: People were like almost making fun of how limited they 335 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: looked and how they were coaching around. It was like, no, 336 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: the Vikings were getting quick pressure every other play and 337 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: he was making the right decisions. And this is a 338 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: young team. I just think five and a hal half 339 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: is too much. This season right now has not had 340 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: a lot of dominant teams, not a lot of predictability, 341 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: and so if you're giving me four and a half 342 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: five and a half in a game where I could 343 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: see either team winning, that's what I'm going with right now, 344 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: So I'm going Browns plus five and a half. 345 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: Your your last pick, Cynthia. 346 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: Okay, well here's my question. First, do you think that 347 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: Ravens are on sale? Because like right now, Ravens at 348 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 3: at one and four, they could be if you. 349 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: Like that, Do you think what a Shoddies could be 350 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: selling the team? 351 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 3: No? No, no, no no no no. Like their futures, the 352 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 3: market for their future to win the division, is it 353 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: on sale? 354 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: It is crazy that they were favored to win the 355 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: division at lest they were. 356 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 3: They were Super Bowl favorites at one point. 357 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: But they this week they're still favorites to win the 358 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: division anymore. Not but that's because everyone saw that stat 359 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: and then they started betting it. 360 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 3: But I think they're on sale. I think their future 361 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 3: the market is on sale. 362 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 2: So what does that mean? 363 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 3: Means that if you buy them low, you could get 364 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 3: a good return on your investment. 365 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: I could see that in terms of a long term pick. 366 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: I could not see that in terms of this week's 367 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: game against the Rams. I'm not talking about this one, okay. 368 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 3: But future, the future. So you could actually hear me 369 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 3: out if you believe the Rams will beat the Ravens, 370 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 3: which I think we both do. 371 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 2: And cover that. Maybe I should take that. 372 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 3: Okay, well you still have a pick left, so you can. Yeah, 373 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 3: but if you believe that, then the Ravens' future odds 374 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 3: of winning the division or making it to the playoffs, 375 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 3: that becomes an even deeper discount. 376 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: Right, wait till next buy it when slow? Yes, I 377 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 2: don't know. 378 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 3: I just was thinking about that earlier. I wanted to 379 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 3: get your thoughts on it. 380 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: I like that, and I don't think that's crazy, and 381 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: I think this is the right form to be doing that. 382 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: Get you a show that can do both. You know, 383 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: pick some games this week, let's pick a little long term, 384 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: wait for them to lose to the Rams, then take 385 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: some Ravens to win the division, Ravens to win the 386 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: AFC when they're at when they're at one in five, 387 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: Because if you look at that schedule coming out. 388 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 3: Sale, it's it's like, you know what, like Black Friday 389 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 3: deal right Prime Day whatever, you know. 390 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: But it's like buying designer stuff on stale. 391 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this was like exactly the high of 392 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: markups a long time ago. 393 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: And saying I'm with you, all right, are your third pick? 394 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 3: My third pick. Now that I have thoroughly talked for 395 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 3: two I like, this is going to be a crazy one. 396 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 3: But I think Miami took a plus four. 397 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of my ones that I wrote down 398 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: as my extras. That was gonna and now that I'm 399 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: crossing off games because of injuries that I don't like anymore, 400 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: that could have been my third. But I'll just instead 401 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: of going together on it, I think it will be separate. 402 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 2: But I totally agree. That's probably my fourth favorite or 403 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: fifth favorite this week. 404 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 3: I just think the Chargers O line problems and plus 405 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 3: Amarion Hampton plus right, I saw like maybe Trey Pipkins 406 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 3: and maybe Mackai Beckton, and you know you got Denzel Periman, 407 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 3: you get Khalul Mack. Like there there are so many 408 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 3: people who are either already out or potentially out, and 409 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 3: especially the two tackles plus Omari and Hampton's like, welcome 410 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 3: to the game, Kamani Vidal. 411 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: Right, Hassan Hassan Haskins right. And it's really about that 412 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: offensive line. And look some backups on the offensive line, 413 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: they're coached up well and they play well. That's now 414 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: we're onund like seven. No, I'm saying the Chargers have 415 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: shown us that's not happening. They're playing horribly. And yeah, 416 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: Makai Beckton, the. 417 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: Big Ticket, I think that's his nickname. 418 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: He was in a non contact jersey on Wednesday. He's 419 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: back out of it, so he might play for them. 420 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: But but even if he started, their center play has 421 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: been terrible. And that that's Bradley Boseman, who's healthy, but 422 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: he or at least playing. 423 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: He's their normal starter. He's just been terrible. So they're 424 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 2: terrible at like four or five positions. 425 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 3: Herbert already has thrown more picks than he did all 426 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 3: of last season. I mean, I just think it's a 427 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,479 Speaker 3: really it's tough sletting when you know Mike McDaniel had 428 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: a meeting with mister Ross, Like that's a that's a 429 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: that's a tough you know you talk about. 430 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's good or bad for the Dolphins, 431 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: just I think it. 432 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 3: Means that the it's stressful, like things are, there's a 433 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 3: little turmoil there, like that was embarrassing last week. I 434 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 3: would imagine they think that's embarrassing the way that that 435 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 3: loss happened. So this goes with my theory of what 436 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 3: I've been saying, here's probably still win the same. This 437 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 3: goes with what I was talking about before in this 438 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 3: NFL where the Chargers, if you were only looking at 439 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks, their defense is not playing well. 440 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: They're getting run over. 441 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: Now the Dolphins have struggled to run the ball, so 442 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: that's like weakness on weakness, we'll see their offensive line. 443 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: Like in the last couple of weeks, the Chargers have 444 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: looked like a bad football team, and it's because of 445 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: injuries in large part, but on defense they have been 446 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: out coached a little bit. 447 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 2: And four and a half is just too much. 448 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. I just I think that like 449 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 3: they could win by a field goal, we'd still be right. 450 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm with you. That's gonna be one of 451 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 2: my extra picks. 452 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: I'm doing a rare total pivot because in the end, 453 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: and I go with what's in my heart? 454 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 3: Oh your heart? 455 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: Since I saw that rams pop up seven and a half, 456 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: actually thought, you know what, I do like that more 457 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: than anything else here, because I'm going to walk you 458 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: through the process. 459 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: For the listeners that care, and there can't be that many. 460 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 3: I care. 461 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: I really believe in the Seattle Seahawks this year, and 462 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: I liked them one, you know, as a road favorite. 463 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: Right now in Jacksonville, it's a one and a half 464 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: point line as we're taping this. We just don't know 465 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: which defensive players. And I think I overlooked that a 466 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: little bit in terms of my pick of the year 467 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: last week. 468 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 2: And look, they had the ball back. They had least 469 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 2: a seven points. 470 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 3: Not like you could have been either completely right or 471 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 3: completely wrong based on literally one freakin' throw. 472 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: Right, it was a throw that bounced off someone's helmet 473 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: and was intercepted. I thought they were going to win 474 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: by three, and I was going to skate that said, 475 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: the way the Buccaneers lit them up on offense, I 476 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: think made showed that it was a bad pick. 477 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 2: Anyways, that was that was a coin flip game. 478 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: But I think the biggest reason why they struggled so 479 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: much is no Julian Love, no Devin Witherspoon, DeMarcus Lawrence 480 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: got hurt in that game. Derek Hall is out for them. 481 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: All of those players might still be out. I have 482 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: not been back at practice, and so if I knew 483 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: that they at least the guys in the secondary were returning, 484 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: I would like that. I like the forty nine ers pick, 485 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, even without Ricky Piersall, I was ready 486 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: to pick them with Mac Jones as we're taping that 487 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: Jack Jones's status is a little more uncertain than I. 488 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 3: I agree that he looked like he was dressed as 489 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 3: an Alice in Wonderland character come to life. It looked 490 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 3: like like a car, like a play. It was like this, 491 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 3: it's giving playing card, you know, like King Us a 492 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 3: strange kind of hearts or something. 493 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: What he was giving to me, if you watched them 494 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: was when they drafted him. Do you remember how he 495 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: like walked very like angrily up to the podium because 496 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: I think everyone had passed on him or just that's 497 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: how he walks. 498 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: He walked. 499 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: He just has a menacing walk. There's just something very strained. 500 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: He's very he's very emotional. And that was a great 501 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: game for him, and I believed that he was actually 502 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: because of how he works the short game so well. 503 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: A fine matchup against Tampa, Like it's not a big 504 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: difference to me to have him versus Party and I 505 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: love the matchup Shanahan versus Bulls. But all these injuries 506 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: are spooking me here. And so that's a long, really 507 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: long winded way of saying I feel better about the 508 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: Rams just winning this game. They have extra rest. I 509 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: know they're going east, but I love a little extra rest. 510 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: And then they have the number one design success rate 511 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: on the ground in the NFL. All they have to 512 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: do all day is just hand the ball off against 513 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: a Ravens defense who is twenty eighth in the league 514 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: against the run. They're terrible against the pass too. They're 515 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: just terrible on defense. And there's no reason to think 516 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: they can hold the Rams under thirty. So can can 517 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush get to twenty four to cover this number? 518 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,719 Speaker 2: I have my doubts. 519 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 3: I mean, we all had our doubts about the Rams 520 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 3: last or the Niners last week too, and some weird stuff. 521 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 3: You never know that Tarvel is weird. But I have 522 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 3: a hard time. Like I told you, I think the 523 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 3: Rams are just waiting for that deep discount. The Ravens 524 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 3: are just reading for that deep discount. The Rams. Maybe 525 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 3: the Rams know about it too, They're like, we're gonna 526 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 3: help this deep discount happen. This is gonna be fun. 527 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 3: I don't know. I just think they're gonna be on 528 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 3: big time sale and then we're to be look like 529 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 3: genius is picking them. 530 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 2: I like that. I'm not giving up on the Ravens 531 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: long term. Oh. 532 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: I do think though their defense has problems that need 533 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: a bye week. They just traded for a Loie Gillman 534 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: at safety. They just signed Chauncey Gardner Johnson. Their rookie 535 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: safety Starks is not playing well. We don't know if 536 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's playing this game that they might get Marlon 537 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: Humphrey back, but they're not going to have Rokewan Smith back. 538 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 3: Three. They're like a bunch of guys who allowed. 539 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: To Madam Week is never coming back. They just traded 540 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: a Dafe away. It's a mess. The Rams are the 541 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: wrong offense to go against when your defense is a mess. 542 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: So to review in the end, my list has completely changed. 543 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: I crossed out two of my picks today. I'm going 544 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: with Atlanta plus four and a half, the Browns plus 545 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: five and a half, and the Rams minus seven and 546 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,239 Speaker 1: a half. On the road, you have the Dolphins. By 547 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: the way, you get an extra half point here. The 548 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: official line right now is four and a half. There's 549 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: a free point half point for you generous. You get 550 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,239 Speaker 1: Miami plus four and a half, and remind me what 551 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: your other two picks were Indie minus seven at home at. 552 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 3: Home, which was the good one, and then my first one. 553 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 3: Now we've been everywhere, what was my first one? New 554 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 3: England three and a half. 555 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: I like that. 556 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: I like your faith in the Patriots this week.
