Speaker 1: NFL Game Deview is a production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Everybody opening games about Mercedes Bins have to play making
Speaker 2: right to your friend Sentia Freeland. As you can see,
Speaker 2: we're missing Greg formation. Greg has chosen to abandon us
Speaker 2: to go to London.
Speaker 3: I mean, they just fit send him on the fancy trips.
Speaker 3: He does all the cool fancy things, doing all the
Speaker 3: fancy fanciness whatever.
Speaker 2: But Greg Nation, do not worry. We still have all
Speaker 2: of his picks. And we're also gonna hear from Greg
Speaker 2: in a special message, not just for you guys, but
Speaker 2: for us as well.
Speaker 3: I really hope that it's from his hotel room again,
Speaker 3: because that one was special last year.
Speaker 2: It was like a dimly lit selfie where it's like
Speaker 2: you could see a lamp, like you could be in Sheboygan.
Speaker 2: You have to be in London. If we get to
Speaker 2: look at our season long standings, it is Cynthia still
Speaker 2: rocking the Crown Digital only this time. I was able
Speaker 2: to pick up a game last week to get alive,
Speaker 2: but it could all go horribly wrong this week. I honestly,
Speaker 2: I don't mind if if I'm losing in the standings
Speaker 2: as long as Lamar and the Ravens keep doing stuff
Speaker 2: like this fumbling the snap, Yeah, not just dropping the snap,
Speaker 2: but getting back up a stiff arm of Adrian Harbor twice,
Speaker 2: and then the fade away throw touchdown to Isaiah Likely.
Speaker 2: It was a fun play, a fun moment, and the
Speaker 2: Ravens now winners of three straight and we get a
Speaker 2: big first installment of Lamar versus Jayden this week. Oh
Speaker 2: that meat on the bone is a great game. This
Speaker 2: week the Commanders and the Ravens, two former Heisman Trophy
Speaker 2: winners squaring off on Lamar and Jaden Greg's got Baltimore
Speaker 2: winning by a touchdown. How do you see this game going?
Speaker 3: So I don't have a full touchdown, but I have
Speaker 3: the same winner I have twenty eight to twenty four.
Speaker 3: I just want to talk about Derrick Henry because I
Speaker 3: took some questions this week about is he okay? I'm like,
Speaker 3: what are you talking about? Is he right? Like it's
Speaker 3: okay that you know, other people like Jay Flowers had
Speaker 3: you know, one hundred yards. But when I'm looking at
Speaker 3: the opportunity for him in this matchup, don't forget that
Speaker 3: washing Hington's defense is also on the outsides, specifically very
Speaker 3: susceptible to the run. So I expect another big game
Speaker 3: from Derrick Henry. But this score is close, which means
Speaker 3: it could be a very fun, high scoring game for
Speaker 3: fantasy purposes. So everyone's in play in this game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Commanders have been in a few games
Speaker 2: like that this season. I also have the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 2: twenty six twenty three. I've loved the improvements from this
Speaker 2: Commander's defense that we've seen in the past couple of weeks,
Speaker 2: but there's a butt here to Coach Quinn's defensive unit.
Speaker 2: Those improvements came against an inconsistent Cardinals team as well
Speaker 2: as one of the worst offenses in the league in Cleveland.
Speaker 2: They've given up eleven touchdown passes on the season. They've
Speaker 2: got no interceptions thus far. If they get a couple here,
Speaker 2: I still believe in the capacity of the Ravens defense
Speaker 2: to make plays Lake, just like they did against Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2: Plus the game's in Baltimore. I've got a Justin Tucker
Speaker 2: field goal as a difference for me. So Commanders fans,
Speaker 2: we love the excitement. You can meme away.
Speaker 3: Does anyone call this like the Battle of the DMV.
Speaker 2: It's well, the folks in Baltimore would prefer the Battle
Speaker 2: of the Beltway.
Speaker 3: They got it that we are not the DMV, understand,
Speaker 3: and so Battle of the Beltway are meme us away.
Speaker 2: Meme get the memes. I did the swing because it's
Speaker 2: like the Beltway series, but this isn't base.
Speaker 3: I get it. I get it.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Thank you. A really fun game. It's going to
Speaker 2: be a long four years barring like a super Bowl
Speaker 2: or a trade or something before we see Jayden and
Speaker 2: Lamar going gets you.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: But let's do this guy or that guy passing yards
Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty five, not just passing total yards.
Speaker 2: Jadean Daniels or Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3: I mean, I wish there could be a secret option
Speaker 3: of both, because I actually think both of them hit
Speaker 3: this number. But I'm actually looking at Lamar Jackson in
Speaker 3: this matchup for both the yards on the ground and
Speaker 3: through the air. In fact, he could get closer to
Speaker 3: that two to eighty five in the air than jade
Speaker 3: and Daniels per my math. So when I'm looking at this,
Speaker 3: it's like Jackson has a great opportunity on the ground
Speaker 3: but he has a good opportunity through the air as well,
Speaker 3: whereas Jayden and Daniels, he'd be more reliant on the
Speaker 3: run game to hit that number. So if that's how
Speaker 3: you want to think about it, then great. I think
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson absolutely exceeds this total yard number.
Speaker 2: All right, looking forward to that game and we'll move
Speaker 2: on here on game debut. I hate Cynthia to bring
Speaker 2: up some bad memory.
Speaker 3: What are you talking? What are we doing?
Speaker 2: We're going to the last time the Detroit Lions faced
Speaker 2: off against the Dallas Cowboys. We have to just short. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we got a big time rematch between the Lions and
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. Greg's got the Lions winning by ten And Cynthia,
Speaker 2: I believe your squad will get revenge here. Not against
Speaker 2: flags on the field, but against the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: No flag is safe either, both of them.
Speaker 2: Don't bring any flags of the game. A Lions fan
Speaker 2: will come and get you. I think they win off
Speaker 2: the basis of that run game, and not just how
Speaker 2: good they are at it, but just how bad the
Speaker 2: Cowboys have been this season. I did see some improvement
Speaker 2: last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I'm gonna need
Speaker 2: to see more than that consistently to believe that they
Speaker 2: could play the run against this team, including one of
Speaker 2: the most efficient success rate runners in the entire league
Speaker 2: and David Montgomery. You have to go back to November
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three, the last time an opponent came
Speaker 2: in to AT and T Stadium. It didn't go for
Speaker 2: one hundred yards. I feel like the only reason that
Speaker 2: didn't happen was because it was a score fest between
Speaker 2: Geno Smith and Dak. I see the Lions running all
Speaker 2: over the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: I love that. I also have the Lions in this
Speaker 3: matchup twenty six to twenty four is my Yes, we've
Speaker 3: got that really ferocious Rory the Lion. Who's my favorite?
Speaker 3: Do you know that Dak Prescott is undefeated against three teams?
Speaker 3: One is the Steelers, one is the Bengals, and the
Speaker 3: third is the Lions on five tricks. That is no
Speaker 3: more after this game. Why because the defense is improved
Speaker 3: and one of the areas you can see it is
Speaker 3: one Kirby Joseph. Yes, he was limited on the injury report,
Speaker 3: but he has played lights freaking out this season. He's
Speaker 3: allowed as many receptions three as he has interceptions also three,
Speaker 3: this guy has a zero point zero passer rating allowed
Speaker 3: in coverage. You can't you truly can't get better than that.
Speaker 3: It is impossible that aod as you can. It is
Speaker 3: truly impossible. So it's just one of the ways that
Speaker 3: you see a difference in the defense. This year. We
Speaker 3: saw c d. Lamb run Rough shot over the Lions
Speaker 3: defense last year. This is a remade defense. And that
Speaker 3: is one example you can speak to and be like, hey,
Speaker 3: this guy's on the team last year, but everything is
Speaker 3: different now.
Speaker 2: Yet they play a lot of men away, but the
Speaker 2: men back there have gotten better and they haven't for talent.
Speaker 2: And I also love that the lower scale of passer
Speaker 2: rating makes sense. Zero makes sense to me. One fifty
Speaker 2: eight point three.
Speaker 3: Do you know do you know what it is when
Speaker 3: you throw it into the ground? Well said thirty nine
Speaker 3: point six.
Speaker 2: It's fun. It's fun. Why Not Face is a showdown
Speaker 2: between former number one overall picks and it's going down
Speaker 2: with Greg in London. Live from London, Trevor Lawrence and
Speaker 2: the Jaguars take on Kayleb Williams and the Bears on
Speaker 2: NFL Network, Rise, Shine and Watch Sunday, October thirteenth and
Speaker 2: nine to thirty am Eastern only on NFL Network and
Speaker 2: NFL Plus subscription is required for NFL Plus. It is
Speaker 2: the Jags and the Bears at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium. The
Speaker 2: Bears have rolled off two straight wins, while the Jags
Speaker 2: picked up their first win against Indy at home last week.
Speaker 2: So let's check in with Greg Rolsenthal in London for
Speaker 2: his pick.
Speaker 4: All right, you guys gave you so much grief about
Speaker 4: my location last time. This time, I'm in the Greenwood
Speaker 4: Sports Up, the official home of the Chicago Bears this week,
Speaker 4: so there's no mystery who I'm taking it.
Speaker 2: In Jax Spears.
Speaker 4: It's the Caleb Williams coming out party. I think this
Speaker 4: is a one sided game. I always grew for great
Speaker 4: games in London, but I think this Bears defense has
Speaker 4: played so well. They shut down Trevor Lawrence and Caleb
Speaker 4: Williams gives you some of those USC Heisman Trophy winning plays.
Speaker 4: Big performance. Bears win twenty nine to ten. This will
Speaker 4: get on the good side of our Bears.
Speaker 1: Producer.
Speaker 2: There it is with sweetness alongside. Thank you, Greg. So
Speaker 2: he's rolling with the Bears. How are you feeling about this.
Speaker 3: I actually have the exact same score and winner as Greg,
Speaker 3: which is hilarious. And by the way, Greg looks fabulous.
Speaker 3: Whatever that lighting is is really working for him, and
Speaker 3: you know what else is working. Caleb Williams on downfield passes.
Speaker 3: In the beginning of the season, we were not seeing
Speaker 3: this kind of production. But last week against the Panthers,
Speaker 3: they could have just run the football. The game script
Speaker 3: dictated that. However, what do they do? They kept throwing deep,
Speaker 3: get him those reps. He had a deep touchdown to
Speaker 3: DJ Moore, he had an intermediate pass touchdown to DJ Moore.
Speaker 3: So more touchdowns, more passing yards, more air yards. This
Speaker 3: is a nice improvement in Jacksonville. Their defense is extremely
Speaker 3: vulnerable in those two levels of the defense, so I
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a nice one for Kalla Williams
Speaker 3: and the Bears.
Speaker 2: I am going to break up the meme alert here
Speaker 2: because I agree with every single thing that you said.
Speaker 2: But just in evaluating this game and how things are going,
Speaker 2: crave on, I started with the Bears win, and then
Speaker 2: I went back to see the Colts game and just
Speaker 2: how good Trevor Lawrence was playing on his twenty fifth birthday,
Speaker 2: and it just wasn't really awesome. I mean, we had
Speaker 2: the strange touchdown, there was one really head scratching interception
Speaker 2: that Trev had last week, but the connection with Brian
Speaker 2: Thomas Junior is going tank. Bigsby had his coming out party.
Speaker 2: I think Travis etn is playing through some things right now.
Speaker 2: But I just truly believe that, to borrow a gregism
Speaker 2: on this, this team is currently better than a one
Speaker 2: in four football team. And despite how much improvement we've
Speaker 2: seen from the Bears in that offense, it's hard to
Speaker 2: go overseas and win. And the Jacks just have so
Speaker 2: much experience team wise and playing in this game. I
Speaker 2: think that has a slight little bit of a factor.
Speaker 2: So will I like it? Strayba like it? It's Kaiser
Speaker 2: Whitez led Cardinals defense going up against the Packers at
Speaker 2: lambeau Field, Kyler's squad coming off that big win against
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. Greg likes green Bay in this one.
Speaker 3: What do you like? I mean, me and Gregor are
Speaker 3: basically twins so far in this one. So I have
Speaker 3: green Bay twenty six to twenty. I want to point
Speaker 3: out something about Xavier McKinney Giants fans, avert your ears.
Speaker 3: This guy has made some history. Why well, if you
Speaker 3: look at the opportunity that he's had to intercept the football,
Speaker 3: interceptions can be fickle. Do you have any games they
Speaker 3: played five? Do you know how many interceptions he has?
Speaker 2: Five?
Speaker 3: Yeap, that would be one per game. And you know what,
Speaker 3: that is the most through five games for any Packer.
Speaker 3: It is the most since the merger of a guy
Speaker 3: who went from one team to another team. To have
Speaker 3: in the first five games, that's a lot of intercepting.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of just making sure that other offenses
Speaker 3: have a hard time. So let's just give him some
Speaker 3: love there. I said, I was very questionable about what's
Speaker 3: this Green Bay Packer team going to be look like?
Speaker 3: Be Like with Jeff Haffley, we didn't know he came
Speaker 3: from BC. I went to BCA. I watched those games.
Speaker 3: You know, it's worked out well for Xavier McKinney for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of those acquisitions that clearly right has
Speaker 2: improved the defense. The defense a big part of why
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Packers to win this football game. But
Speaker 2: ultimately I think the Arizona Cardinals keep it very, very close.
Speaker 2: Because Jonathan Gannon's unbeaten in the division against Shanahan McVay,
Speaker 2: not Shanahan McVeagh, Tree or anything like that. Literally Kyle
Speaker 2: Shanahan and Sean McVay, and a win here against Matt
Speaker 2: Lafleur would have me feeling all trendish and like, hey,
Speaker 2: he's got this offense absolutely figured out. Not quite ready
Speaker 2: to go there yet because there's a lot of Packers
Speaker 2: talent that they have to deal with. But with the Cardinals,
Speaker 2: I've got them covering this game. Tough base based on
Speaker 2: the run that they had, especially last week, making things
Speaker 2: tough for Jordan Mason, who leads the NFL in yardage,
Speaker 2: as well as they had Brock Purty shut out in
Speaker 2: the second half of the first time in the entire
Speaker 2: Brock Party Kyle Shanahan era, they're not even a top
Speaker 2: pressure defense. They're getting pressure on Brock. So yeah, I'm impressed.
Speaker 2: I've got them covered.
Speaker 3: I like the Brock Party era just has a certain
Speaker 3: era to like, Hey, we're since the Brock Party era.
Speaker 2: That's it, We're in it. This is Brock's worthly So
Speaker 2: Cardinals fans, there you have it. We are all onemus
Speaker 2: away Pckers let us know, send us the pictures because
Speaker 2: we love it.
Speaker 3: We do.
Speaker 2: Actually, Bob salidn't love the news. The huge news coming
Speaker 2: coming out of Flooring Park this week the Jets firing
Speaker 2: their head coach Robert Sala twenty and thirty six in
Speaker 2: just over three seasons for Gang Green, Jeff Ulbrick named
Speaker 2: the team's interim head coach. The j e Ts. Jets
Speaker 2: are two to three now on the season. Is a
Speaker 2: tough spot, I guess, to try to keep your job
Speaker 2: in London against arguably the best team in the NFL.
Speaker 2: They play host now to Josh Allen and the Bills
Speaker 2: coming up Monday night. The last time Rodgers played Buffalo,
Speaker 2: we remember it was unfortunate for the Jets. That's the
Speaker 2: game where he was injured in Week one of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three. So does Gang Green come out there and
Speaker 2: get a win for their interim head coach you?
Speaker 3: Unfortunately in this one, I have Buffaloes. I was a
Speaker 3: little surprised because usually you know, there's some mayhem that
Speaker 3: happens when you have a different play caller, et cetera.
Speaker 3: But twenty three to nineteen is where I netted out
Speaker 3: in this in large part because of Josh Allen's ability
Speaker 3: to run the football. When he scrambles, things are good
Speaker 3: for the Bills. When he runs the football near the
Speaker 3: goal line, you know what happens, gets to the ends
Speaker 3: out six. But if you look at his EPA, so
Speaker 3: his expected points added on each run, it's point eight eight.
Speaker 3: That is ridiculous. That means like almost one full point
Speaker 3: for every time he's running. That's a very high number.
Speaker 3: Think of like point five as being out of this
Speaker 3: world high. So that's almost double that ridiculous. So Bill's
Speaker 3: win this one, especially because the old line you saw
Speaker 3: them there the line in that last play, Deon Dawkins
Speaker 3: was just standing there. He's like, I got this problem.
Speaker 3: The other guy's got. We're fine. Even you don't even
Speaker 3: need me for this one. Go ahead.
Speaker 2: I think the thing that the Jets need is a
Speaker 2: little bit of luck right now, and considering the way
Speaker 2: the season's gone, they haven't gotten it. And now it
Speaker 2: would be a lot get it to think that after
Speaker 2: going nine of thirty against the Houston Texans that Josh
Speaker 2: Allen is gonna lay another stinger. I've got the Bills
Speaker 2: winning as well, twenty four to twenty I'm adding a
Speaker 2: point to both of your totals in this case because
Speaker 2: I don't really know what the Jets can change on
Speaker 2: offense in a week. Todd Downing, I believe, based on history,
Speaker 2: at least as an upgrade over Nathaniel Hackett as a
Speaker 2: play caller. I agree with Jeff Wahlbrook on that one.
Speaker 2: But unless he's been preparing in the dark corners of
Speaker 2: the facility somewhere for this shot, I don't really know
Speaker 2: how things can get less difficult for Aaron Rodgers, who's
Speaker 2: one of the best throwers of the football that we've
Speaker 2: ever seen, but right now, the wide open percentage is
Speaker 2: one of the lowest for starters in the league. He's
Speaker 2: got a negative seven completion percentage over expected. He's just
Speaker 2: having to do so much. Some of that are drops
Speaker 2: they have seven this year, but other teams more. It's
Speaker 2: just really hard right now.
Speaker 3: And even on the other side, it's not like Josh
Speaker 3: Allen's playing against Aaron Rodgers. Josh Allen plays against the defense.
Speaker 2: And so it's something. Greg has the Bills winning this one.
Speaker 2: So here's our opportunity. Juts fans, it's been a rough week.
Speaker 3: We're sorry.
Speaker 2: The first touchdown score odds have JK. Dobbins at the
Speaker 2: top than Javonte Williams, followed up by Lad McConkie, Quentin Johnson,
Speaker 2: and then Bo Nicks getting into the end zone. This
Speaker 2: is according to Caesars Sportsbook. The Chargers at Broncos at
Speaker 2: Mile High Sean Payton Squad, the winners of three in
Speaker 2: a row Cynthia starting zero to two. Greg's got the
Speaker 2: Chargers winning by one. Here's the thing, me and Greg
Speaker 2: Rosenthal are on the same page. I have been winning
Speaker 2: by one as well, a final score of seventeen to
Speaker 2: sixteen based on purely just rest. For Justin Herbert, it's
Speaker 2: been a lot. He breaks bones on both hands last year.
Speaker 2: He goes through where coaching change, then he comes out
Speaker 2: as high unkle sprain. He plays multiple games on that.
Speaker 2: A bye could not have come at any better time
Speaker 2: for any team because this team needs Justin Herbert to
Speaker 2: do so much, and I think he does just enough,
Speaker 2: just enough against arguably the best defense in the NFL.
Speaker 3: SIN they have a one point well I have a
Speaker 3: one point win too, but just for the Denver Broncos
Speaker 3: the other way around. So twenty to nineteen ooh prime
Speaker 3: number pee peepee peepepe pep just sure the computer has entered. Yes,
Speaker 3: Why because this defense isn't just good against the past.
Speaker 3: You saw that Patzertan interception. Don't do that. Don't do that.
Speaker 3: But you also have a good opportunity to stop them
Speaker 3: in the run game too. And without Rashaun Slater and
Speaker 3: without Joe Alt, who are both on the injury report
Speaker 3: and probably not looking like they're going to play, it
Speaker 3: is going to be extremely difficult to withstand that blitz
Speaker 3: and it is coming for you Unlike every single play.
Speaker 3: This is the highest blitzing team in the league. And
Speaker 3: you know what happens on first down fifty four percent
Speaker 3: of the time, it is a blitz. So you're not
Speaker 3: even to be able to get those opportunities to get
Speaker 3: those nice like ground and pound Jim Harbaugh like runs
Speaker 3: right in the beginning. You're gonna have a hard time
Speaker 3: with that. To it means more obvious passing downs, which
Speaker 3: is why this You blitz for two reasons, either because
Speaker 3: you can't get a pass rush or because you trust
Speaker 3: your back end of your defense so much. This is
Speaker 3: all about trust for them, so they're going to stop
Speaker 3: the run and then it's going to be hard.
Speaker 2: I trust my pick significantly less because I do agree
Speaker 2: Passer ten and Riley Molls playing some really good football
Speaker 2: at corner for the Denver Broncos. That was Seize the

Speaker 2: let's get to some quick fix. We talked about the
Speaker 2: Cardiac Falcons. They're heading to Carolina. What do you see
Speaker 2: taking place, Cynthia.
Speaker 3: I say, another one point win, not one point one
Speaker 3: possession win, twenty five to eighteen for Atlanta. Welcome back
Speaker 3: to my fantasy squad and the end zone, Baijon Robinson.
Speaker 3: He's only been there once so far this season. I
Speaker 3: thank you every fantasy player's dismay, but this is a
Speaker 3: great opportunity against a defense that has struggled in both
Speaker 3: the pass and the run. I think Bejon here gets everything.
Speaker 3: Good for Kirk Cousins because he has a really different
Speaker 3: split when he's not under pressure and when he is,
Speaker 3: so run the football, keep pressure away.
Speaker 2: All Right, we all agree, we've got the Falcons, Greg
Speaker 2: and me included. Let's go to the Steelers and the Raiders.
Speaker 2: A classic Gardner Minshew has been benched in favor of
Speaker 2: Aid and O'Connell. And welcome to the starting lineup again,
Speaker 2: Aidan O'Connell. Here come the Pittsburgh Steelers. I like the
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers in this one, as do both you and Greg.
Speaker 2: I've got it twenty to sixteen just because it's tough,
Speaker 2: like A and O'Connell has been in some rough starting situations,
Speaker 2: and now we've got the Pittsburgh Steelers coming into Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: It's it's been tough for An O'Connell. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: how Antonio Pierce felt about this quarterback battle. And now
Speaker 2: we're just kind of in a situation where Colin A
Speaker 2: and Colin B aren't necessarily working. That doesn't lead me
Speaker 2: to a lot of confidence. And maybe we could see
Speaker 2: some Russell Wilson, who knows. I don't know if the
Speaker 2: Steelers are gonna need too much the Colts and the Texans,
Speaker 2: Cynthia and Jacksonville excuse me, and the Titans coming off
Speaker 2: there by this week, do you think that propels them
Speaker 2: to a win?
Speaker 3: Well, yes, I think they win, but just by one
Speaker 3: point twenty one to twenty. I also think that the Titans.
Speaker 3: I was a little mean to their defense at the
Speaker 3: beginning of the season, and you know what they've done,
Speaker 3: be good, proven me wrong. Lugerius Snead has been absolutely dynamite.
Speaker 3: But I want to point out that the team with
Speaker 3: the highest run stuff rate in the NFL, who's that
Speaker 3: the Tennessee Titans, And you know what, with Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 3: on the injury report, maybe not even playing. I know
Speaker 3: this is a great old line, but I still don't
Speaker 3: think that the Tennessee Titans defense is going to let
Speaker 3: them get a win, especially with some volatility with Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 2: Okay, and also Cynthia had the Colts over the Jags
Speaker 2: last week and perhaps them.
Speaker 3: Maybe I just can never get the Colts right.
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe punishing the Indianapolis Colts in this one why
Speaker 2: from London, Trevor Lawrence and the Jags take on Caleb
Speaker 2: Williams and the Bears on NFL Network, Rise, Shine and
Speaker 2: watch Sunday, October thirteen, the nine to thirty am Eastern
Speaker 2: only on NFL Network. NFL Plus subscription is required for
Speaker 2: NFL Plus and prior to the game, be sure to
Speaker 2: catch Caleb Williams sit down with Kyle Brandt. Looking forward
Speaker 2: to that one, that interview with Caleb as well as
Speaker 2: the game. It's time for more or less, where we
Speaker 2: tell you whether or not we believe something will be
Speaker 2: more or less. It's it right there in the name.
Speaker 2: Let's get some player props for Jackson, and let's start
Speaker 2: with Trevor Lawrence more or less than one and a
Speaker 2: half passing touchdowns?
Speaker 3: Cynthia, I'm gonna go with less here. I got to
Speaker 3: give some respect to the Bears defense. I also think
Speaker 3: it is smart to keep Trevor out of harm's way,
Speaker 3: so they're gonna want to run the football more. We've
Speaker 3: seen Tank Bigsby and Traves etn both be useful in
Speaker 3: that Ren game. So I think there's one. I think
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about who it is too, but
Speaker 3: less so just the one?
Speaker 2: Okay, what the one? We'll get a who later. I
Speaker 2: will take will Caleb have more or less than two
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty eight passing yards, and considering the way
Speaker 2: things have been going, I think this is more because
Speaker 2: did you see this passing offense in the past couple
Speaker 2: of weeks. He's hooking up with DJ more Now. I
Speaker 2: do think that this game is going to have a
Speaker 2: few more points than some folks expect. So I've got
Speaker 2: more there. But let's go to rushing for Travis CTN.
Speaker 2: I know fantasy managers would like to know more or
Speaker 2: less than forty four rushing yards.
Speaker 3: This is rushing lower. I think there's going to be
Speaker 3: more receiving yards, but I don't think they think the
Speaker 3: rushing responsibilities now belong to Tank Bigsby more often than
Speaker 3: Travis DTN. I think he's going to see some short
Speaker 3: passes though don't count as rushing yards.
Speaker 2: Though okay, stat sheet wise they do count in real life.
Speaker 3: They kind of in real life. But do you ask
Speaker 3: me rushing yards, ye.
Speaker 2: No, which is specific specificity. It's very important if I
Speaker 2: could speak. Let's go to DeAndre Swift. I do think
Speaker 2: he will have more than fifty six rushing yards on
Speaker 2: the ground because, again, the Bears offense much better, especially
Speaker 2: in the run game. In fact, that's kind of what
Speaker 2: changed in the season around for Chicago, that big run
Speaker 2: by DeAndre Swift against the Rams. So I think he
Speaker 2: has more there. But let's go back to the receiving game.
Speaker 2: More less than four and a half receptions for BTJ.
Speaker 3: The run, but we're gonna go with more and this
Speaker 3: is where the touchdown is forecast for me. Jalen Johnson
Speaker 3: should match up against him, and that is one heck
Speaker 3: of a corner. However, we've seen some other injuries recwonded
Speaker 3: Brisker on the injury report. There could be some opportunities here.
Speaker 3: This is not a slight to the Bears defense. I
Speaker 3: already gave them a lot of love, but here's the
Speaker 3: one touchdown and more than four and a half receptions.
Speaker 2: Speaking of more, let's get Dj Moore, oh more or
Speaker 2: less than six?
Speaker 3: Better?
Speaker 2: Say Oise, Yeah, I've got a Caleb throwing for over
Speaker 2: two thirty eight. So I think DJ Moore is a
Speaker 2: big part of that because he's a big part of
Speaker 2: what the Bears can do on off especially when the
Speaker 2: play breaks down and Caleb gets to do those things
Speaker 2: that made him the number one overall pick. DJ Moore
Speaker 2: very difficult to cover. First in the play, but then
Speaker 2: they're in the scramble drill even more difficult to deal
Speaker 2: with DJ Moore, so I think he's more in that capacity.
Speaker 2: I have to agree hand out after the Bears game,
Speaker 2: the Jags are going to stay in London for another
Speaker 2: week because they take the Patriots on in the London Finale.
Speaker 2: Live this game from Wimbley Stadium. Rise sign and watch
Speaker 2: next Sunday, October twentieth at nine to thirty am Eastern
Speaker 2: only on the NFL Network and in A Plus subscription
Speaker 2: is required for NFL Plus. Speaking of the Patriots making
Speaker 2: the headlines earlier this week when they announced that rookie
Speaker 2: quarterback Drake May will get the start Sunday against the Texans.
Speaker 2: New England took May with a third overall pick out
Speaker 2: of North Carolina and last April's draft, it was quarterback, quarterback,
Speaker 2: quarterback at the top. We've seen the first two guys
Speaker 2: play all season. He gets his first start against last
Speaker 2: year's rookie of the year in CJ. Stroud and the Texans.
Speaker 2: Houston did put Nico Collins on ir the NFL's leading receiver,
Speaker 2: hurt himself on a touchdown against the Bills last week,
Speaker 2: Greg has the Texans winning by a few while I
Speaker 2: like them to win by even more. It's twenty four
Speaker 2: to twelve according to my expertly induced final score in
Speaker 2: my model, which says that a rookie quarterback making his
Speaker 2: first start against a really good team in the Houston Texans,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough, especially protecting Drake May, because they
Speaker 2: had trouble protecting in the preseason, probably some of the
Speaker 2: reasons that Kobe Brissett has played up until this point.
Speaker 2: I do think Drake May will have success in one
Speaker 2: particular category is that I will reveal that later on.
Speaker 2: Oh when we get to write this down on games,
Speaker 2: I like you, how do.
Speaker 3: You see the game going Somethio, Well, I agree with
Speaker 3: you in terms of score, I have twenty four to
Speaker 3: sixteen here. When you have a rookie start, you get
Speaker 3: some weird things, especially with an O line that's allowed
Speaker 3: just fifty percent or more pass you know of passing
Speaker 3: attempts by their former starter to be pressured. But I'm
Speaker 3: looking on the other side of the ball where we
Speaker 3: have some really good news, and that comes in the
Speaker 3: form of one Christian Gonzales in his second season. We've
Speaker 3: just seen brilliance, especially when you look at when they
Speaker 3: play man coverage. This guy is just top five and
Speaker 3: basically any metric that you want to put out there,
Speaker 3: and considering the lack of pass rush up front, that
Speaker 3: should boost that number. So if he's getting top five
Speaker 3: numbers without help up front, so what would happen if
Speaker 3: he had just a little bit more push up front.
Speaker 3: So I'm looking at him and I'm saying, this is
Speaker 3: a really fun game for him. It's going to be
Speaker 3: interesting to see how they match up. Is it going
Speaker 3: to be Tanked Up, I don't know. Is it going
Speaker 3: to be Stefan Diggs. Probably, we'll see, but it's not
Speaker 3: gonna be a good matchup with Christian Gonzalz no matter
Speaker 3: who it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very impressive highlight reel there, including getting back to
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill the back of the end zone and then
Speaker 2: coming back and making a tackle on Tcay That gup.
Speaker 2: He's been everything, yeah this season, and we have everything
Speaker 2: and nothing but hope. For all of the families out
Speaker 2: there that have been affected by Hurricane Milton and Helene
Speaker 2: urgently needing support. Helped the American Red Cross provide meals
Speaker 2: in shelter to those families donate today to relief efforts
Speaker 2: by going to Redcross dot org slash NFL. The Bucks
Speaker 2: evacuated from Tampa to New Orleans earlier this week because
Speaker 2: of the impending hurricane. The team now getting ready to
Speaker 2: take on Spencer Rattler and the Saints. Derek Carr out
Speaker 2: with an oblique injury that came against the Chiefs. Greg
Speaker 2: Rosenthal likes the Buccaneers here, Cynthia.
Speaker 3: I thought he's going to say that the Saints for now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did pick the Saints last week, agains the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: How are you feeling about this one?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I feel the same way. I mean, I think
Speaker 3: Tamba Bay wins this one twenty two to eighteen, a
Speaker 3: more modest sort of win all around, in large part
Speaker 3: because when we see this defense, Spencer Rattler not going
Speaker 3: to know what he's seeing, right, There's a lot of
Speaker 3: things that are coming through. Pressure comes from a lot
Speaker 3: of different directions. Todd Bulls loves the Blitz. They're getting healthier,
Speaker 3: the back end of the defense is getting better. Like
Speaker 3: there's just a lot of things that are all kind
Speaker 3: of at the same time, really difficult for even the
Speaker 3: most seasoned quarterback to handle. So I just think I'm
Speaker 3: looking at the Bucks. They're going to get to him.
Speaker 3: The O line is banged up for the Saints, so
Speaker 3: not only you starting Spencer Rattler, but also you have
Speaker 3: to do it without the O line being fully intact.
Speaker 3: That's just a really hard It's a really hard thing
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 2: It's very difficult, especially because we just talked about Drake
Speaker 2: May and the experience for the number three overall pick.
Speaker 2: Spencer Ratler had an up and down college career, eventually
Speaker 2: has some success at South Carolina, and Greg Rosenthal did
Speaker 2: take the Saints last week against the Chiefs. I'm taking
Speaker 2: the Saints this week, Oh, Buccaneers. It is going to
Speaker 2: be a very interesting Sunday, perhaps in the wrong way
Speaker 2: for Spencer Ratler and company. But if you see the
Speaker 2: little snake emoji trending on Twitter, that's because of the
Speaker 2: hashtag agenda. Shout out to the Saints Block Party podcasts
Speaker 2: and the Twitter account forgetting that going. But I'm looking
Speaker 2: back just at the rivalry of these two teams, Marshawn
Speaker 2: Latimore going at Jamis Mike Evans, like, hey, as there
Speaker 2: is an opportunity to hate Marshawn Lattimore this is twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: Back in Week nine, multiple times one of these guys
Speaker 2: has been run from a game because of an incident
Speaker 2: involving the other guy, and I'm just glad to see
Speaker 2: them back playing against each other. I hope everybody finishes
Speaker 2: the game, but this is just a glimpse at the
Speaker 2: type of emotion and intensity that's going to be at
Speaker 2: this game. A lot of Saints fans wanted to see
Speaker 2: some change at the quarterback position. I just think it's
Speaker 2: gonna be a weird game and there's a chance here
Speaker 2: for fun stuff.
Speaker 3: I like it. I just want to point out one thing.
Speaker 3: If Mike Evans catches one more receiving touchdown, then he
Speaker 3: gets a hundred. And if he does it in this game,
Speaker 3: he'll be the sixth fastest in the league, two one hundred,
Speaker 3: So it makes the stakes even bigger. Like will Marshawn
Speaker 3: Lattimore allow like so much drama, so much storyline, tune
Speaker 3: in Sunday.
Speaker 2: And also we see Mike Evans be very giving with
Speaker 2: the footballs, the Mollston football. Keep the ball, he's gonna kick.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be ay.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna keep this one, execute it to
Speaker 2: perfection to get the GEM in the win in Seattle.
Speaker 2: The Bengals are up next for them. They're coming off
Speaker 2: that win against the Seahawks. Sincy just one win this season,
Speaker 2: but I think they get win number two coming up
Speaker 2: on Sunday Night with a score of thirty two to
Speaker 2: twenty five, a high scoring game, because that's what the
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals have had to do. It's just they've come
Speaker 2: up against I don't know, electrifying Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks
Speaker 2: in these games, back to back games at home where
Speaker 2: they've almost scored every single time but still come up short.
Speaker 2: But just how good has Jamar Chase been as of late.
Speaker 2: It's so tough to defend both t Higgins, who's also
Speaker 2: getting better, and Jamar Chase. I know the defense is
Speaker 2: an issue, but I'm confident although coming off a great
Speaker 2: dimes game Cynthia, I don't think they can put up
Speaker 2: the points to keep up with Cincinnati. I got a
Speaker 2: ten almost a ten point one.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that there's a couple of reasons why
Speaker 3: the Giants here have some issues to solve, but one
Speaker 3: that isn't and maybe that's been found. Welcome to the program,
Speaker 3: Tyrone Tracy twenty five to twenty one is my final
Speaker 3: score in favor of Cincinnati. But I want to point
Speaker 3: out something really interesting about this rookie who stepped in
Speaker 3: so admirably for Devin Singletary. Again, I told you this before,
Speaker 3: but you got to call him motor. That's like his motor,
Speaker 3: Motor Singletary, baby. They just call him motor. But look
Speaker 3: at the different gaps that he ran through. It wasn't
Speaker 3: just like outside zone and nothing. It was in the
Speaker 3: A gap, meaning next to the center, It was out wide.
Speaker 3: They did a lot of different things and screens like
Speaker 3: he was looking a lot more like a vet than
Speaker 3: he was like a rookie. It just means that there
Speaker 3: are some good things here that maybe we didn't fully
Speaker 3: know about until now. But I think he sees some
Speaker 3: more run in this game. Man, going forward, way you
Speaker 3: can run on the Bengals.
Speaker 2: You absolutely can. Coming out party had twelve carries coming
Speaker 2: into that ga him and goes nineteen for one twenty nine.
Speaker 2: Again Cynthia said, welcome to the party, Tyrone. Tracy. Also
Speaker 2: Greg Rosenthal on board with this, so yes.
Speaker 3: Memus the way if Giants fans come at us, come yeah, welcome.
Speaker 2: If you get two wins in a row up, yes,
Speaker 2: use the screenshot of Cynthia though. Moving home to the
Speaker 2: A two and too, It's fair to say Philly has
Speaker 2: been on the struggle bus a bit this season. Jalen
Speaker 2: Hurts has turnovers in every game and the team has
Speaker 2: been dealing with injuries everywhere. Philly is hoping to turn
Speaker 2: things around coming off their by Here's what Hurts had
Speaker 2: to say with his relationship with coach Sirianni and the
Speaker 2: bye week. We're all excited for an efficient bye week.
Speaker 2: Jalen br Browns and Eagles at the link, both squads
Speaker 2: looking to turn their season around. Greg has the Birds
Speaker 2: by eight. I actually have the Birds win in by
Speaker 2: even more. Cynthia, I've got it twenty four to thirteen.
Speaker 2: Here because welcome back. As Jalen said, it was an
Speaker 2: efficient bye week. The most efficient thing is time heals
Speaker 2: some wounds, like literally, that's how the healing process works out.
Speaker 2: And the Eagles will are currently looking to have a
Speaker 2: j Brown back who's such a big part of this
Speaker 2: Eagles offense, and offense is something the Browns haven't really had,
Speaker 2: so I think it's a relatively easy Birds win Cynthia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. Twenty seven to nineteen. This is
Speaker 3: my biggest win of the week. Interestingly enough, here something
Speaker 3: that's not efficient, like at all. It's the Browns offense
Speaker 3: on third down eighteen point two percent third down conversion rate.
Speaker 3: That is really tough to overcome. I understand that there's
Speaker 3: a lot of pressure getting on the quarterback. I understand
Speaker 3: that they're without Nick Chubb, but they actually have been
Speaker 3: decent in the run game. It hasn't been a big problem.
Speaker 3: It's just you can't get out of third down. You
Speaker 3: can't win football games. And I'm looking at this Eagles
Speaker 3: team and no one's talking about the fact Devin White's
Speaker 3: no longer on the team. That's a different show for
Speaker 3: a different day. But I'm interested here. I think twenty
Speaker 3: seven to nineteen.
Speaker 2: So we're all on the Eagles and coming up, folks,
Speaker 2: it's not for some spicy Week six predictions. Greg is gone,
Speaker 2: so it's just Cynthia and I battling out to see
Speaker 2: who could be the boldus stick around. You're watching Game
Speaker 2: day View, and we got write this down coming up next.
Speaker 2: It's time to write this down here on game debut.
Speaker 2: As we get some predictions for Week six. No Rosenthal,
Speaker 2: So we're going to double up on these, Cynthia. What
Speaker 2: do you see happening? First?
Speaker 3: My first one is Sam Laporta. He was kind of
Speaker 3: held in check in the last matchup between the Lions
Speaker 3: and the Cowboys. This time not so much. Over forty
Speaker 3: and a half receiving yards for Laporta. Let's get him going.
Speaker 3: Let's see the oh lines and back in full shape.
Speaker 3: Got to beat the Cowboys. No more than Dak Prescott
Speaker 3: going to only own the Lions stuff. No, no, no,
Speaker 3: not happening.
Speaker 2: They're burying the Dak's record against the Lions and also
Speaker 2: bearing a flag that was thrown last year. Yes, in
Speaker 2: the C and T Stadium. I will take a lower
Speaker 2: this week. It's Deshaun Watson. Right now, we're looking at
Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety one and a half passing yards
Speaker 2: against the Philadelphia Eagles. I don't think he's going to
Speaker 2: hit that number because the Browns have not hit three
Speaker 2: hundred total yards of offense at all this season in
Speaker 2: any game. They're zero to five in that capacity. I
Speaker 2: don't think they get near two hundred passing yards in
Speaker 2: this game against the Philadelphia Eagles, who are coming off
Speaker 2: the buy, which is and efficient by Cynthia Freeland.
Speaker 3: As long as it's efficient, you know, you know what
Speaker 3: else is really efficient. I talked about it for Josh
Speaker 3: Allen in the run game, and you know what, he's
Speaker 3: going to run his way into the end zone against
Speaker 3: the New York Giants on Monday. I need that time
Speaker 3: Labs video when they turn the gts to the Giants.
Speaker 3: I'm going to need to see that. ESPN please put
Speaker 3: that on there. But Josh Allen end zone on his feet.
Speaker 2: Yes, the grounds crew, we celebrate that.
Speaker 3: I love that groundscrew thing because it's so good.
Speaker 2: It's hard work is I'm on my next psition prediction.
Speaker 2: In my last prediction for this show, Drake May, congratulations,
Speaker 2: you're making your first career at NFL start. I already
Speaker 2: predicted that you lose the game, but I do think
Speaker 2: that you will have over twenty five and a half
Speaker 2: rushing yards because this guy can move. He's a very
Speaker 2: mobile quarterback and a young quarterback. And when those guys
Speaker 2: are in that type of position, especially against the defense
Speaker 2: that can get a lot of pressure, that first instinct
Speaker 2: is going to be the right instinct in running. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it's necessarily going to lead to a
Speaker 2: Patriots win, Cynthia, but I think he runs.
Speaker 3: You know what I love about this that we both
Speaker 3: went with quarterback situations on the ground. Do two more?
Speaker 3: Are you going to get in on this with me?
Speaker 3: In that game between Jade Daniels and Lamar Jackson, there's
Speaker 3: going to be two quarterback rushing touchdowns on that one too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm all in.
Speaker 3: I've written that one down. I'm writing it down.
Speaker 2: In fact, it may come on a play that looks
Speaker 2: very similar because Jade Daniels has has gotten in the
Speaker 2: lab and the dip on the on the handoff of
Speaker 2: the mesh point that's very Lamar the most.
Speaker 3: Don't drop it, Please leave the dropping the.
Speaker 2: Ball and making incredible plays to Lamar Jackson. No fumbles
Speaker 2: for anybody. No fumbles for this show other than our
Speaker 2: missing member will get Greg roseen Thalt next week. Enjoy
Speaker 2: the game, Enjoy all the games, everybody. We'll see you
Speaker 2: next week on Game Deview.
