WEBVTT - Will Kirko Chains bounce back vs. Minnesota Vikings? 0:00:04.339 --> 0:00:06.539 NFL Game dey View is a production of the NFL 0:00:06.619 --> 0:00:12.459 in partnership with iHeartRadio. 0:00:13.099 --> 0:00:15.819 Everybody Wellhome. The Game Deview presented Ony Mercedes Ben's Packer 0:00:15.859 --> 0:00:18.299 Claybon back here with Greg Rosendald Cynthia Freeland here to 0:00:18.339 --> 0:00:21.219 get you set for the majority of the Week fourteen schedule. 0:00:21.219 --> 0:00:24.099 As playoff time is nearing, Greg, we're in that push. 0:00:24.259 --> 0:00:27.379 I love this time of year. It's fantasy push. It's 0:00:27.459 --> 0:00:30.819 our picks push like we're hot right now. Cynthia's picks 0:00:30.859 --> 0:00:31.619 are going wild. 0:00:31.899 --> 0:00:34.299 I want that giant red bow. I was just thinking 0:00:34.299 --> 0:00:36.219 about that, like from the can we get like a 0:00:36.259 --> 0:00:39.819 giant red Mercedes bow, like from the car? Who doesn't 0:00:39.859 --> 0:00:40.179 want that? 0:00:40.379 --> 0:00:41.899 Yeah, it's so fun. 0:00:41.899 --> 0:00:43.419 It could go right on this table. 0:00:43.779 --> 0:00:46.699 Yep, we'll put it up. In fact, you can send 0:00:46.739 --> 0:00:49.379 a car with it because things are going that kind 0:00:49.379 --> 0:00:53.019 of way. Cynthia went fourteen in two. I was able 0:00:53.059 --> 0:00:55.099 to pick up a game on Greg. As we look 0:00:55.099 --> 0:00:57.899 at our standings, I am miird in a giant black 0:00:57.939 --> 0:01:01.419 hole of sadness and destitution at one hundred and twenty 0:01:01.419 --> 0:01:05.059 eight and sixty seven. But Greg in fifty nine with 0:01:05.139 --> 0:01:09.419 Cynthia Nippin at his hill heels. Excuse me, Greg, I'm 0:01:09.459 --> 0:01:09.819 on a hill. 0:01:09.859 --> 0:01:12.259 He's gonna die on that hill. I'm nipping at that hill. 0:01:12.379 --> 0:01:15.579 Yeah, on both Greg, the MVP of our picks thus far, 0:01:15.699 --> 0:01:18.019 Josh Allen might end up being the MVP of the league. 0:01:18.099 --> 0:01:21.179 Buffalo winning seven in a row and Allen is playing 0:01:21.259 --> 0:01:25.259 like Superman. Allen and the Red Hot Bills heading to 0:01:25.379 --> 0:01:27.859 LA to take on the Rams. Buffalo chasing the top 0:01:27.899 --> 0:01:30.659 seed in the AFC, the Rams still in the playoff hunt. 0:01:30.859 --> 0:01:33.659 But Cynthia, could this be a letdown game for the Bills? 0:01:34.499 --> 0:01:37.739 No, I mean it could be, Absolutely it could be. 0:01:37.819 --> 0:01:40.219 But I project a six point win for the Bills 0:01:40.259 --> 0:01:43.219 twenty seven to twenty one out here at SOFI Stadium. 0:01:43.419 --> 0:01:46.939 Why because matchups make four fights and this one does 0:01:46.979 --> 0:01:50.459 not bode well for the Los Angeles Rams. In terms 0:01:50.499 --> 0:01:53.499 of what happens when this Bills defense sees motion, The 0:01:53.499 --> 0:01:56.019 answer is bad things for posing offenses. And you know 0:01:56.099 --> 0:01:58.699 who likes to use motion ahead of the snap? Who's 0:01:58.739 --> 0:02:01.779 that the Rams? See how that works. But ultimately, when 0:02:01.779 --> 0:02:04.179 you're looking at some of the places of this Bills defense, 0:02:04.379 --> 0:02:07.059 which I will admit I was a little bit of 0:02:07.099 --> 0:02:10.219 a skeptical person, about this defense ahead of the season. 0:02:10.539 --> 0:02:14.899 They have exceeded expectations. They're getting healthier. Greg Russo's awesome. 0:02:15.219 --> 0:02:17.859 And when I'm looking at the options here for what 0:02:17.979 --> 0:02:22.139 happens when this Rams offense tries to use motion, they 0:02:22.179 --> 0:02:22.899 just get shut down. 0:02:23.019 --> 0:02:23.979 Ooh, I like that. 0:02:24.059 --> 0:02:26.099 And it's one of the reasons they're so good against 0:02:26.179 --> 0:02:28.379 motion is because Sean McDermott's been there so long, Like 0:02:28.459 --> 0:02:30.939 the system is good, and he's got his guys, and 0:02:30.979 --> 0:02:34.459 he's got the guy Matt Milano back in the lineup. 0:02:34.539 --> 0:02:36.739 I know he didn't make a lot of splash plays 0:02:36.779 --> 0:02:39.819 in his first game back, but he is the quarterback 0:02:39.979 --> 0:02:43.219 of this defense. And I don't think McDermott gets enough 0:02:43.299 --> 0:02:47.499 credit for maximizing what his players do well. He puts 0:02:47.539 --> 0:02:50.499 them in situations to succeed. This is a rematch of 0:02:50.539 --> 0:02:52.699 a game just a couple of years ago. Is the 0:02:52.779 --> 0:02:55.419 opening game, remember the kickoff of the Rams defending their 0:02:55.419 --> 0:02:58.499 Super Bowl title, and that Bill's defense did a great 0:02:58.579 --> 0:03:01.619 job holding down preventing big plays. And Matt Milano is 0:03:01.659 --> 0:03:04.779 one of the best coverage linebackers in the league, and 0:03:04.779 --> 0:03:07.219 that's where the Rams like to win over the middle 0:03:07.219 --> 0:03:07.659 of the field. 0:03:07.659 --> 0:03:08.419 I think that's the difference. 0:03:08.459 --> 0:03:10.659 I think it's close, and I think the Rams cover 0:03:11.139 --> 0:03:13.419 because they're at home and the Bills are coming all 0:03:13.419 --> 0:03:14.299 the way across the country. 0:03:14.299 --> 0:03:15.539 Two good teams, but the Bills win. 0:03:15.739 --> 0:03:17.299 I to do a great college that, Matt Malone. 0:03:17.259 --> 0:03:18.619 I'm just saying, Boston Girl. 0:03:20.099 --> 0:03:22.539 Greg makes a lot of great points, the Bills having 0:03:22.579 --> 0:03:25.019 to travel across the country, the Rams keeping it close. 0:03:25.059 --> 0:03:27.339 I agree. I think the Rams cover in this one 0:03:27.419 --> 0:03:30.099 because I think the Rams win this football game. 0:03:30.179 --> 0:03:31.059 I see and. 0:03:30.979 --> 0:03:34.059 Yeah, give me a stray bound here as it's just 0:03:34.099 --> 0:03:36.819 I wrote it. I wrote it down, Pukainakua. It explains, 0:03:36.899 --> 0:03:40.179 it explains the whole situation. This is the reasoning for 0:03:40.379 --> 0:03:43.779 me making this pick because the last time the Buffalo 0:03:43.819 --> 0:03:46.939 Bills played a real number one that was playing good 0:03:46.939 --> 0:03:50.659 football with a healthy quarterback, it was CJ. Stroud throwing 0:03:50.699 --> 0:03:53.339 the ball to Nico Collins, who actually hurt himself on 0:03:53.379 --> 0:03:56.259 a long touchdown running away from these Buffalo Bills. And 0:03:56.299 --> 0:03:58.979 then they go on a stretch where I guess Tyreek 0:03:59.019 --> 0:04:01.419 Hill and Jalen one of the best receivers that they played, 0:04:01.699 --> 0:04:05.219 where it's it's just different. And so five Stadium, late 0:04:05.259 --> 0:04:07.579 in the season with not just Pooking a cool but 0:04:07.619 --> 0:04:09.979 Cooper Cup And I think the Rams have a puncher's 0:04:10.019 --> 0:04:11.699 chance in this one, and I'm gonna take that chance 0:04:12.219 --> 0:04:12.859 and take a loss. 0:04:12.979 --> 0:04:14.099 This is a pixel bald. 0:04:14.099 --> 0:04:16.339 They move this game all the way up to first 0:04:16.339 --> 0:04:17.939 this stray bond, wondering. 0:04:17.699 --> 0:04:19.539 Which which is really saying something? For a guy who's 0:04:19.619 --> 0:04:23.019 lasting the fix on the shows, we get this is 0:04:23.059 --> 0:04:25.699 the old this guy or that guy. Starting with the quarterbacks, 0:04:25.739 --> 0:04:28.459 I think which quarterback will have more than one passing touchdown? 0:04:28.539 --> 0:04:30.219 Is it Josh Allen and Matthew. 0:04:29.939 --> 0:04:32.819 Steph I think it's both. However, I'm going with Josh 0:04:32.859 --> 0:04:36.139 Allen here as the higher probability guy. I'm looking at 0:04:36.139 --> 0:04:36.899 these deep passes. 0:04:36.939 --> 0:04:37.259 Do you know what? 0:04:37.299 --> 0:04:39.699 He doesn't have a touchdown on yet a twenty plus 0:04:39.739 --> 0:04:42.699 air yard pass, and I think that changes this week. 0:04:42.699 --> 0:04:45.179 It's kind of wild because there's twenty six quarterbacks who 0:04:45.179 --> 0:04:48.739 have thrown a deep touchdown pass this season. Josh Allen 0:04:48.819 --> 0:04:51.019 is not one of them. So it's wild. That is 0:04:51.139 --> 0:04:52.979 that is a wild stat. So I'm looking at this 0:04:53.019 --> 0:04:54.219 and I think he gets that this week. 0:04:54.299 --> 0:04:56.419 All Right, let's go to the running back on the ground, 0:04:56.459 --> 0:04:59.459 Greg which running back goes for over sixty seven yards. 0:04:59.499 --> 0:05:02.059 Is it James Cook or is it Kyen William. 0:05:01.899 --> 0:05:04.379 I love me some James Cook this season because he's 0:05:04.419 --> 0:05:09.099 playing behind an offensive line that has an attitude. They 0:05:09.099 --> 0:05:13.059 were bragging after last week's game, saying like, we did 0:05:13.099 --> 0:05:16.019 whatever we wanted against this forty nine Ers front, and 0:05:16.059 --> 0:05:18.459 they just kept calling the same play over and over again. 0:05:18.659 --> 0:05:20.939 And I do think that's the weakness of this Rams 0:05:21.059 --> 0:05:24.179 defense is at the linebacker level. Even the young guys upfront, 0:05:24.259 --> 0:05:27.339 who are great rushing the passer over time over the 0:05:27.339 --> 0:05:30.259 course of the game, might struggle to stop James Cook. 0:05:30.339 --> 0:05:32.819 All right, Buffalo Bill's chasing the Chiefs for the one 0:05:32.859 --> 0:05:35.379 seed in the AFC casey with a big matchup with 0:05:35.459 --> 0:05:37.819 the Chargers on Sunday. These teams played earlier this year. 0:05:37.859 --> 0:05:40.419 For a quick look back, it's time now for Active 0:05:40.459 --> 0:05:43.539 mic presented by the Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card. 0:05:45.219 --> 0:05:48.219 How about him the rematch in Arrowhead? Justin Herbert won 0:05:48.499 --> 0:05:52.379 six in his career against Patrick Mahomes' defense. Does he 0:05:52.459 --> 0:05:55.899 get that elusive second win here? Cynthia, no no no. 0:05:56.139 --> 0:05:58.299 I have a three point win for the Chiefs in 0:05:58.339 --> 0:06:00.779 this one, twenty four to twenty one. I do want 0:06:00.779 --> 0:06:02.619 to point out something that I will be keeping a 0:06:02.699 --> 0:06:05.819 huge eye on, and that Isatrick Mahomes getting sacked. For 0:06:05.899 --> 0:06:08.899 the past two games, he has tied his career high 0:06:09.179 --> 0:06:10.939 in terms of number of sacks in the game five 0:06:11.459 --> 0:06:14.939 five far. That's a wild situation. In two games in 0:06:15.139 --> 0:06:18.819 a row. The left tackle situation is a problem for them. 0:06:18.859 --> 0:06:21.019 They need to figure it out if they want to 0:06:21.059 --> 0:06:23.939 go from a team that has a nice playoff situation, 0:06:24.019 --> 0:06:26.099 like he said, situation like eight times just now, and 0:06:26.139 --> 0:06:28.019 if they want to actually play in that game that 0:06:28.099 --> 0:06:30.299 happens in New Orleans, They're going to have to figure 0:06:30.339 --> 0:06:33.459 out the left tackle because Patrick Mahomes cannot be under 0:06:33.579 --> 0:06:35.859 this type of pressure, especially if they're not a team 0:06:35.859 --> 0:06:39.259 that is crushing teams by you know, huge margins one 0:06:39.339 --> 0:06:41.739 possession games. They lead the entire league in them. But 0:06:41.739 --> 0:06:44.939 if your quarterback is under duress constantly, it increases your 0:06:44.939 --> 0:06:47.539 opportunities for turnovers. The whole thing is scary. 0:06:47.699 --> 0:06:50.699 So, like Cynthia, I'm gonna say that the Chiefs are 0:06:50.699 --> 0:06:52.859 gonna win, and then I'm gonna say something kind of 0:06:52.859 --> 0:06:55.299 negative about them and positive about the Chargers. It's eighteen 0:06:55.339 --> 0:06:58.019 to seventeen. I have the Chiefs winning this game. I'm like, 0:06:58.179 --> 0:07:00.259 Justin Herbert. I think I picked the Chargers every time 0:07:00.259 --> 0:07:02.459 they play this Chiefs team, and they're one and six, 0:07:02.499 --> 0:07:04.059 so I got to take the Chiefs to win. But Tar, 0:07:04.219 --> 0:07:07.219 he's still and this Chargers defense, they're going to keep 0:07:07.219 --> 0:07:09.139 the score down. I really like the number to be 0:07:09.299 --> 0:07:11.819 under that forty three. So that's key to me. And 0:07:11.859 --> 0:07:14.419 I like the Chargers to cover because of this young 0:07:14.499 --> 0:07:17.739 kid and the way they're playing defense. That cornerback and 0:07:17.779 --> 0:07:20.939 that coverage right there shows such a next level understanding 0:07:21.219 --> 0:07:24.539 the match coverage that they do. They really communicate well 0:07:24.739 --> 0:07:27.779 between the secondary and the linebacker level. And it's a 0:07:27.819 --> 0:07:30.339 young player that was drafted in the fifth round and 0:07:30.379 --> 0:07:32.899 he's playing like a defensive Rookie of the Year candidate. 0:07:33.099 --> 0:07:35.779 He was Defensive Player of the Week last week after 0:07:35.819 --> 0:07:38.059 these interceptions, but he's been great all year. He actually 0:07:38.139 --> 0:07:41.619 leads the NFL and EPA per play allowed when he 0:07:41.859 --> 0:07:44.819 is in coverage, So forget about where he was drafted. 0:07:44.859 --> 0:07:47.059 It's like the rest of this Chargers defense, they're better 0:07:47.099 --> 0:07:49.099 than the some of their parts. We know the Chiefs 0:07:49.099 --> 0:07:51.259 offense isn't explosive, so it's going to be a low 0:07:51.339 --> 0:07:52.539 scoring game in Arrowhead. 0:07:52.579 --> 0:07:54.539 Shocking that, you know, a front office that came over 0:07:54.539 --> 0:07:57.379 from the Ravens knows how to pick a later round cornerback. 0:07:57.419 --> 0:07:59.219 Shocker right there. I don't know about you, but I'm 0:07:59.419 --> 0:08:00.139 totally shocked. 0:08:00.339 --> 0:08:02.379 And also similarly, they they're a little bit thin at 0:08:02.419 --> 0:08:06.419 wide receiver. Up front, there's issues. Because Cynthia was talking 0:08:06.499 --> 0:08:09.779 about the problems protecting Patrick Mahomes, it's a similar situation 0:08:10.059 --> 0:08:12.979 for these Chargers. In the past couple of weeks were 0:08:13.099 --> 0:08:15.379 for the Chiefs. You know, Max Crosby was getting to 0:08:15.459 --> 0:08:18.179 Patrick Mahomes. The Atlanta Falcons had ten sacks on the 0:08:18.219 --> 0:08:21.179 season coming into the game against Herbo and the Chargers. 0:08:21.219 --> 0:08:23.419 Now they have fifteen. That's thirty three percent of their 0:08:23.499 --> 0:08:27.179 sacks on the season. And then a Ravens defense that 0:08:27.259 --> 0:08:28.859 really wasn't able to get a lot of pressure on 0:08:28.899 --> 0:08:31.539 the passer got home a ton in that game. In 0:08:31.619 --> 0:08:34.019 so far, so, I think it's an opportunity for Spags's 0:08:34.059 --> 0:08:36.579 defense to get healthy. And yeah, Greg, I've got exactly 0:08:37.019 --> 0:08:39.899 forty three points and a three point Chiefs win. We 0:08:39.939 --> 0:08:44.139 were all on the trend of Herbo against KC. Although 0:08:44.139 --> 0:08:46.219 Greg has some perturbations. 0:08:46.459 --> 0:08:47.379 Well just you know. 0:08:47.459 --> 0:08:49.779 Well, also, the Chargers social media is the best in 0:08:49.859 --> 0:08:50.619 the entire. 0:08:50.539 --> 0:08:53.219 Yeah, don't Doug come hit us? 0:08:53.819 --> 0:08:57.099 Welcoming Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota Like I'm on psychedelics. 0:08:57.099 --> 0:08:57.859 That's how I feel. 0:08:58.899 --> 0:09:00.459 I kind of wish I run psychedelics. 0:09:00.499 --> 0:09:04.019 It would be I've finched myself. What is the what 0:09:04.339 --> 0:09:06.499 this is real right now? Well, it's real that Kirk 0:09:06.539 --> 0:09:09.179 Cousins is taking on the Vikings, his Falcons on a 0:09:09.219 --> 0:09:11.539 losing streak. The Vikings was one of the longest streaks 0:09:11.579 --> 0:09:13.579 in the league. Right now, what happens in this. 0:09:13.579 --> 0:09:18.659 Greg What happens is Kirk Cousins plays a Kirk Cousins games, 0:09:18.699 --> 0:09:20.619 which means it's going to be crazy and seeing things 0:09:20.659 --> 0:09:21.179 will happen. 0:09:21.419 --> 0:09:23.379 And in the end, the Minnesota Vikings win. 0:09:23.299 --> 0:09:26.619 Twenty seven to twenty three, so the Falcons cover that number. 0:09:26.859 --> 0:09:30.859 But we remember all the Kirk moments back in Minnesota, 0:09:30.899 --> 0:09:32.299 and there were a lot of great ones. 0:09:32.619 --> 0:09:33.379 There were a lot of. 0:09:33.619 --> 0:09:37.379 Bad ones, okay, but what they all had in common 0:09:37.579 --> 0:09:39.819 were that they were Kirk Cousins games. 0:09:40.859 --> 0:09:42.499 They just feel like they're all the same. 0:09:42.659 --> 0:09:44.899 If you can go back to Washington, you can go 0:09:44.939 --> 0:09:48.219 to Minnesota and now it's happening in Atlanta. 0:09:48.539 --> 0:09:51.139 Now. For a while in Minnesota, they were all ending well. 0:09:51.179 --> 0:09:53.219 He was on a streak where he was playing really 0:09:53.259 --> 0:09:55.739 well in the fourth quarter. But when I looked at 0:09:55.779 --> 0:09:57.539 this game, I did not want to imagine this is 0:09:57.699 --> 0:10:00.059 Kirk cousins last NFL start, because I think that's on 0:10:00.099 --> 0:10:02.619 the table. If he threw four interceptions in this game, 0:10:02.659 --> 0:10:05.099 I think Michael Pennix is coming in and it's over. 0:10:05.419 --> 0:10:07.699 That's not gonna happen. He's got to keep men. It's 0:10:07.699 --> 0:10:10.459 gonna be back and forth. Insane things will happen, and 0:10:10.499 --> 0:10:12.659 it will come down to the fourth quarter and they 0:10:12.699 --> 0:10:14.379 will cover that number. But in the end, I just 0:10:14.379 --> 0:10:17.219 don't think the Falcons can get it done defensively, but 0:10:17.339 --> 0:10:18.699 Kirk will play well enough. 0:10:18.699 --> 0:10:19.459 Why are you laughing? 0:10:19.579 --> 0:10:22.979 Because my point is about Kirk's interceptions, So it seems 0:10:22.979 --> 0:10:23.899 like I'm saying, well. 0:10:24.819 --> 0:10:25.739 Career disagree. 0:10:25.899 --> 0:10:26.539 That's fine. 0:10:26.579 --> 0:10:29.459 No, No, we agree, Which is why I think it's funny, 0:10:29.499 --> 0:10:32.819 Because am I basically calling for Michael PENNI'X sure, why not? 0:10:32.859 --> 0:10:35.419 I have a Minnesota win twenty six to nineteen. I 0:10:35.459 --> 0:10:38.099 want to talk about Kirk Cousins interceptions because they're real. 0:10:38.259 --> 0:10:41.179 He's had six of them in their losing streak, and 0:10:41.219 --> 0:10:43.459 then before that he had to two game win streak 0:10:43.459 --> 0:10:46.899 where he had seven touchdowns zero interceptions. He totally reversed 0:10:46.899 --> 0:10:50.059 that trend zero and six. This is a big problem. 0:10:50.099 --> 0:10:51.459 Fumbles too, Fumbles. 0:10:51.499 --> 0:10:54.459 He has fifteen giveaways this season. He leads the league 0:10:54.499 --> 0:10:56.699 in them. So am I calling for Michael Pennitt's No, 0:10:56.779 --> 0:10:58.979 that would be Greg Rosenthal, ladies and gentlemen, not me. 0:10:59.499 --> 0:11:01.459 I'm saying I'm not calling for it. 0:11:01.539 --> 0:11:04.899 I'm recognizing where he's at in his career. Whatever he's 0:11:04.939 --> 0:11:08.379 looking into the mirror or something like, it's not working 0:11:08.499 --> 0:11:10.579 right now, this torn Achilles recovery. 0:11:10.619 --> 0:11:11.219 I'm sorry. 0:11:12.579 --> 0:11:16.059 Well, it could be a big spinny chain that's ultimately 0:11:16.059 --> 0:11:18.219 going to reveal the future and like show the secrets 0:11:18.259 --> 0:11:20.099 of the universe. Maybe you could take a darkness retreat. 0:11:20.099 --> 0:11:23.499 I don't know. I've got a Vikings win as well. 0:11:23.579 --> 0:11:27.339 Mine's a significantly lower score, nineteen to thirteen, because, like 0:11:27.379 --> 0:11:29.859 Cynthia and Greg, I've been watching Kirk Cousins and this 0:11:29.939 --> 0:11:32.859 Falcons offense the past few weeks and now in a 0:11:32.859 --> 0:11:35.579 game that could potentially wrap it up for Kirk Cousins. 0:11:35.659 --> 0:11:39.179 They go up against this Vikings defense that has veterans 0:11:39.179 --> 0:11:41.699 that are crafty. It can do so many different things, 0:11:41.699 --> 0:11:44.539 and that's all embodied in a man who has over 0:11:44.659 --> 0:11:47.899 one hundred snaps as a pass rusher, over one hundred 0:11:47.939 --> 0:11:50.979 snaps dropping in the coverage, over one hundred snaps as 0:11:50.979 --> 0:11:53.739 a run defender. Yeah, folks, we're looking at Andrew Van 0:11:53.859 --> 0:11:58.259 Ginkel highlights, who embodies this defense so much. We saw 0:11:58.339 --> 0:12:03.179 Brian Flores step to the post rocking an AVG T shirt. 0:12:03.619 --> 0:12:07.419 Defense dominant in this one, and the Minnesota Vikings continue 0:12:07.499 --> 0:12:10.739 their win streak, and perhaps we're showing some Michael Pennock 0:12:10.819 --> 0:12:13.819 junior highlights. Next week, we are all on the Minnesota 0:12:13.859 --> 0:12:16.619 Vikings here. We're gonna keep it in the NFC. The 0:12:16.659 --> 0:12:19.579 Seahawks in first place in the West. Last week, they 0:12:19.579 --> 0:12:22.779 were down big then Leonard Williams delivered a game changing 0:12:23.099 --> 0:12:28.619 thick six. So let's look over after that game the 0:12:28.699 --> 0:12:31.939 odds to win the NFC West. The Seahawks in the 0:12:32.019 --> 0:12:34.979 leading in the league, in the lead in this as well, 0:12:35.019 --> 0:12:37.739 with the Cardinals right behind them, the Rams and the 0:12:37.739 --> 0:12:40.779 forty nine ers, who are a long shot at this point, 0:12:40.779 --> 0:12:43.739 but it's the Seahawks and Cardinals facing off Sundays. Seattle 0:12:43.779 --> 0:12:46.179 shut down Kyler's crew just a couple of weeks ago. 0:12:46.379 --> 0:12:47.899 Who comes out on top this time. 0:12:47.779 --> 0:12:50.259 Around, Well, the Seahawks do. Of course, we all have 0:12:50.379 --> 0:12:53.459 our biases. I can admit that, you know, I would 0:12:53.539 --> 0:12:55.459 like the Seahawks to win this game, but I believe 0:12:55.499 --> 0:12:57.539 that that number is too big and Seattle covers it 0:12:57.579 --> 0:13:00.539 and they win straight up because they blitz well and 0:13:00.659 --> 0:13:03.899 Kyler Murray's not handling the blitz well. And that Leonard 0:13:03.899 --> 0:13:07.939 Williams interception made me think about this play as well, 0:13:08.059 --> 0:13:11.259 Kyler Murray and the pick six. Each week Seattle is 0:13:11.299 --> 0:13:14.219 giving us a magical play that Devin Witherspoon play, and 0:13:14.219 --> 0:13:15.539 then the pick six on Kyler. 0:13:15.619 --> 0:13:18.059 It was the Gino Smith touchdown against forty nine ers. 0:13:18.139 --> 0:13:20.699 There's something a little you can't put in the numbers 0:13:20.699 --> 0:13:23.299 in the model that the Seahawks have Right now, they're 0:13:23.339 --> 0:13:26.659 on a winning streak and these two teams are very 0:13:26.699 --> 0:13:29.699 similar to me, where the defenses are starting to outplay 0:13:29.859 --> 0:13:33.059 the offenses, but the differences. I think Mike McDonald can 0:13:33.099 --> 0:13:36.379 cook up Kyler against the blitz. It's close, but it's 0:13:36.419 --> 0:13:40.019 twenty four to twenty three, and it's okay, Cynthia, I 0:13:40.019 --> 0:13:42.979 can recognize my biases. Your model doesn't have any biases. 0:13:42.979 --> 0:13:45.299 But I'm I'm just a man. I'm a man with 0:13:45.419 --> 0:13:47.339 emotions and human feelings. 0:13:47.499 --> 0:13:49.619 Well, I don't really have any emotions. I've decided to 0:13:50.099 --> 0:13:52.859 not recognize. It took the chip out, it was done. 0:13:54.259 --> 0:13:56.779 My score is very similar to Greg's twenty three to 0:13:56.859 --> 0:13:58.259 twenty one, A two point one. 0:13:58.379 --> 0:14:00.059 Oh you got the Seahawks, Yes, go. 0:14:00.139 --> 0:14:03.299 Seattle as well. I do actually have emotions. The model doesn't, 0:14:03.299 --> 0:14:05.339 but I do. And when I'm looking at this, I 0:14:05.339 --> 0:14:07.899 wonder what DK Metcalf is going to look like. Because 0:14:08.059 --> 0:14:10.939 we know Jackson Smith and jig but draws a great matchup. 0:14:11.139 --> 0:14:14.299 We've seen a lot of vulnerabilities for this Cardinals defense 0:14:14.339 --> 0:14:17.819 to the slot and against short passes. But Dk, I 0:14:17.859 --> 0:14:20.859 think this is where we see a massive decay day 0:14:21.139 --> 0:14:23.659 because now we're gonna see the Cardinals try to adapt 0:14:23.779 --> 0:14:26.259 to stop Jackson Smith and Jigba, who had a big 0:14:26.299 --> 0:14:28.339 game against them just a couple of weeks ago. So 0:14:28.419 --> 0:14:30.819 then you've still got number fourteen out on the edge. 0:14:30.859 --> 0:14:32.899 I think this is gonna be a big difference maker. 0:14:33.219 --> 0:14:34.779 I think if I'm looking for a guy to have 0:14:34.819 --> 0:14:36.939 a big day, he's one who I think I'm circling 0:14:37.019 --> 0:14:40.099 him twice. Yeah, And I'm feeling good about it because emotionally, 0:14:40.139 --> 0:14:43.059 I really want to see this happen. I'm I'm very 0:14:43.099 --> 0:14:44.499 happy as a. 0:14:44.499 --> 0:14:47.859 Creature also in possession of emotions. I will go solo here. 0:14:47.899 --> 0:14:49.419 I will take the home team that goes on the 0:14:49.419 --> 0:14:52.019 Cardinals by a point twenty three to twenty two, which 0:14:52.099 --> 0:14:54.539 I feel I'm very confident that's the exact same inverse 0:14:54.579 --> 0:14:56.259 of the score when I picked the Seahawks the one 0:14:56.259 --> 0:14:58.259 by when I think these two teams are very, very 0:14:58.299 --> 0:15:01.259 similar and it's gonna be a classic. And I think 0:15:01.299 --> 0:15:03.459 that we've seen the Seahawks make some huge errors Greg 0:15:03.539 --> 0:15:06.099 talk about the big We seen them make some catastrophic 0:15:06.179 --> 0:15:09.379 errors where they're losing forty yards this season. But one 0:15:09.379 --> 0:15:12.619 thing that has been consistent, it's the Arizona Cardinals generating 0:15:12.659 --> 0:15:15.379 pressure from all sorts of different places. I thought they 0:15:15.419 --> 0:15:17.899 would have trouble doing so in Seattle a couple weeks ago. 0:15:18.019 --> 0:15:21.619 They didn't. Guys like Mac Wilson having career years where 0:15:21.739 --> 0:15:25.419 his season high in sacks for a season was three. 0:15:25.499 --> 0:15:27.979 He had two last week against the Minnesota Vikings. They 0:15:27.979 --> 0:15:31.099 had a fifty eight percent pressure rate last season. I 0:15:31.139 --> 0:15:32.859 love this defense, I love the search bar, and I 0:15:32.899 --> 0:15:34.299 will take the Arizona car. 0:15:34.379 --> 0:15:36.499 I love that you picked them because I've been noticing 0:15:36.579 --> 0:15:40.019 some of the comments and Cardinals fans think we disrespect them. 0:15:40.219 --> 0:15:42.339 They were mad when we memed them a couple of 0:15:42.379 --> 0:15:43.859 weeks ago, and you know what, we were right. You 0:15:43.939 --> 0:15:46.259 lost that game. But this time I'm glad that you 0:15:46.299 --> 0:15:46.579 took it. 0:15:46.659 --> 0:15:49.699 Yeah. I have an affectionate nickname for them. Everything's great. 0:15:49.739 --> 0:15:52.259 Shout out to the Arizona Cardinals. Let's do some math, though, 0:15:52.259 --> 0:15:55.979 Cynthia Well, Gino Smith throw for more or less than 0:15:55.979 --> 0:15:58.339 two hundred and fifty five yards in the football time. 0:15:58.379 --> 0:15:59.499 Oh, I'm giving you more. 0:15:59.859 --> 0:16:00.379 Number one. 0:16:00.659 --> 0:16:03.419 This team is the one that has the longest yards 0:16:03.459 --> 0:16:05.539 to go on third down. That is why you're seeing 0:16:05.539 --> 0:16:07.379 some of those pressures. So I think what they try 0:16:07.419 --> 0:16:09.459 to do is on earlier downs they say, well, if 0:16:09.459 --> 0:16:11.379 the run isn't gonna work, let's just throw it a 0:16:11.379 --> 0:16:13.859 little bit more here. So I actually have Gino Smith 0:16:13.899 --> 0:16:16.179 with something like two hundred and seventy five yards, which 0:16:16.339 --> 0:16:18.899 for me, you know, I'm a conservative modeler. That means 0:16:18.939 --> 0:16:21.939 that's like a significant difference from two hundred and fifty five. 0:16:22.459 --> 0:16:24.699 Well, now that I know that, I feel that great 0:16:24.699 --> 0:16:27.379 about my pick, that's a big number for Genoa. I'm 0:16:27.379 --> 0:16:29.419 because the defense coming up. Folks have got a huge 0:16:29.459 --> 0:16:32.859 rematch between the Steelers and Brown's ross has been cooking. 0:16:32.939 --> 0:16:36.059 But you know famous Jamus my House tricks up the sleeve. Well, 0:16:36.099 --> 0:16:39.539 the quarterback who instantly makes memes shock the Steelers for 0:16:39.579 --> 0:16:42.779 the second time this season. Find out next on game debut, 0:16:43.979 --> 0:16:47.019 It's time to Seize the Season, presented by Caesars Sportsbook 0:16:47.139 --> 0:16:51.179 First Touchdown Score, Odds on the Way, Najie Harrison, George Pickens, 0:16:51.259 --> 0:16:54.019 and Nick Chubb at the top, Jaalen Warner and Jerry 0:16:54.099 --> 0:16:57.499 Judy rounding out that top five. As we get into 0:16:57.579 --> 0:16:59.619 this matchup in the division, we saw it a couple 0:16:59.619 --> 0:17:02.419 of weeks ago in the snow. Will Jameis Winston go 0:17:02.459 --> 0:17:05.099 into Pittsburgh beat the Steelers for the second time in 0:17:05.179 --> 0:17:06.019 three weeks something? 0:17:06.299 --> 0:17:06.619 Nope? 0:17:06.939 --> 0:17:09.019 I mean he could, but I have twenty five to 0:17:09.099 --> 0:17:11.819 twenty in this matchup. This game actually has a lot 0:17:11.819 --> 0:17:14.939 of implications because the Pittsburgh Steelers schedule gets very difficult 0:17:14.979 --> 0:17:17.099 from here on out, so they need this one. When 0:17:17.099 --> 0:17:19.139 I'm looking at this matchup, though, it is all about 0:17:19.259 --> 0:17:22.099 Jamis throwing past the sticks, which is something he does 0:17:22.139 --> 0:17:24.499 the second most often in the league. This is a 0:17:24.539 --> 0:17:28.179 sampling of what happens. Sometimes it's not good and it 0:17:28.219 --> 0:17:29.419 results in a turnover. 0:17:29.539 --> 0:17:30.259 This has been a. 0:17:30.259 --> 0:17:33.459 Characteristic that he's had for quite some time, like his 0:17:33.499 --> 0:17:37.339 whole career. But sometimes it goes really really well. So 0:17:37.419 --> 0:17:40.379 the deep passes connect, but so to do the ones 0:17:40.419 --> 0:17:42.739 that result in pick six. So when you're looking at 0:17:42.739 --> 0:17:44.699 the sampling, I mean it is no stretch. Last week 0:17:44.859 --> 0:17:46.659 on the broadcast, they were saying we've got the full 0:17:46.739 --> 0:17:49.899
