Hello, what's cooking? Good looking? 0:00:16.259 --> 0:00:19.939 Welcome to Game Debut. Everybody week fifteen. Christmas has come early. 0:00:19.939 --> 0:00:23.499 We get two days on the weekend filled with football, 0:00:23.939 --> 0:00:26.339 and before we start breaking those games down, let's look 0:00:26.339 --> 0:00:30.139 at the standing, shall we own? Greg? Good for you, 0:00:30.139 --> 0:00:34.419 you're still in the lead. Patrick, We need to talk. Hey, 0:00:34.499 --> 0:00:36.339 you shouldn't be this close to me. I don't know 0:00:36.379 --> 0:00:39.739 what is happening. I feel like you're you're overthinking things 0:00:39.939 --> 0:00:43.779 in my My suggestion is you need to get back 0:00:43.819 --> 0:00:46.779 to base. Okay, settled down and think about what you 0:00:46.899 --> 0:00:50.859 got here. Saturday Football returns to the NFL tomorrow, and 0:00:50.979 --> 0:00:54.379 NFL Network is your home for an exclusive triple header. 0:00:54.419 --> 0:00:56.179 That's right, the Cold Stake on the Vikings at one 0:00:56.219 --> 0:00:59.539 pm Eastern, followed by Ravens Browns at four pm. And 0:00:59.579 --> 0:01:02.339 then we've been talking about it all week. A huge 0:01:02.339 --> 0:01:05.059 divisional showdown in prime time is the Dolphins battle the 0:01:05.099 --> 0:01:07.659 Bills at eight p m. Eastern. It is a Saturday 0:01:07.659 --> 0:01:10.659 Showdown triple header all day tomorrow only on NFL Network 0:01:10.739 --> 0:01:14.659 and streaming on NFL Plus. Okay, the first game of 0:01:14.699 --> 0:01:18.139 that triple header. We got Colts, we got Vikings. Greggy, 0:01:18.179 --> 0:01:21.979 the Vikings disrespect has to stop only a three and 0:01:21.979 --> 0:01:25.179 a half point favorite at home against the four wind Colts. 0:01:25.299 --> 0:01:27.379 What is going on here? And that line moved towards 0:01:27.459 --> 0:01:29.699 the Colts. I think it's crazy. I'm taking the Vikings 0:01:29.699 --> 0:01:32.459 in this game. There was respect starts stops here and 0:01:32.499 --> 0:01:34.499 it's partly because of Kirk Cousins. People think they know 0:01:34.659 --> 0:01:37.099 Kirk Cousins like he's just the same boring guy each 0:01:37.139 --> 0:01:39.939 and every week. No, I he's one of the most 0:01:39.979 --> 0:01:42.779 streaky quarterbacks that's ever played in this league. I wrote 0:01:42.779 --> 0:01:45.179 this column called QB Index for years and what I 0:01:45.259 --> 0:01:47.899 knew about Kirk Cousins is when he gets on a heater, 0:01:48.179 --> 0:01:50.979 he gets on a heater. And he was incredible last week. 0:01:51.099 --> 0:01:53.259 He was one of the best quarterbacks in the league 0:01:53.299 --> 0:01:56.219 dime after dime against Detroit, and I think that was 0:01:56.259 --> 0:01:59.499 the start of something special. Is going to be playing 0:01:59.699 --> 0:02:02.539 with the same amount of confidence as Patrick claibn in 0:02:02.579 --> 0:02:08.339 a suit two sides of two. He's breaking out the 0:02:08.379 --> 0:02:11.179 grills this week, folks. What do you like here? I 0:02:11.219 --> 0:02:14.259 have about the same margin here, twenty seven to two 0:02:14.299 --> 0:02:17.499 in favor again of the Vikings. I like the Vikings 0:02:17.579 --> 0:02:19.619 last week. I'm going to run it back here. I 0:02:19.619 --> 0:02:21.499 think this is an interesting one to see if Dalvin 0:02:21.539 --> 0:02:23.779 Cook can be kind of the guy that we saw 0:02:24.059 --> 0:02:26.739 in Spurts. Sometimes it looks good, sometimes it doesn't look 0:02:26.779 --> 0:02:28.899 so good when I'm looking at Dalvin Cook. If this 0:02:28.979 --> 0:02:30.739 is going to be a team that goes deep into 0:02:30.739 --> 0:02:33.219 the playoffs, they're gonna need Dalvin Cook to be far 0:02:33.299 --> 0:02:36.179 more effective and efficient, because when I'm looking at Dalvin 0:02:36.219 --> 0:02:38.179 Cook and I'm looking at those outside runs, it is 0:02:38.219 --> 0:02:41.419 a much different situation when you have Dalvin Cook and 0:02:41.459 --> 0:02:45.379 he's effective than when you don't. Yes, let's get Dalvin 0:02:45.419 --> 0:02:47.219 to have a good game. Let's get the Vikings to 0:02:47.259 --> 0:02:49.859 have a good game. A big win. Not again, not 0:02:49.939 --> 0:02:53.379 as big as the jackets that I was wearing. We're 0:02:53.419 --> 0:02:57.139 gonna be talking about, but one thing, because we talked 0:02:57.179 --> 0:02:59.859 about respect. These are the two quarterbacks with the most 0:02:59.979 --> 0:03:03.259 fourth quarter comebacks in the entire league. And I don't 0:03:03.259 --> 0:03:06.379 think Kirk is gonna need a fourth quarter comeback in 0:03:06.419 --> 0:03:10.459 this one to seventeen Vikings win. Because we talked about 0:03:10.579 --> 0:03:13.299 justin Jefferson a lot and in a lot of receiving 0:03:13.419 --> 0:03:16.539 statistics justin Jefferson is number one. The Colts play a 0:03:16.579 --> 0:03:20.139 lot of single high uh second in the league, and again, 0:03:20.219 --> 0:03:23.459 as he does in most receiving categories, press name all, Yeah, 0:03:23.619 --> 0:03:26.059 he leaves the league in receiving yards against single high coverage. 0:03:26.419 --> 0:03:28.139 The Cults are gonna sputter in the red zone like 0:03:28.179 --> 0:03:31.179 they have all season their touchdown percentage in the league. 0:03:31.339 --> 0:03:33.619 Kirk does it again, and he's gonna do something cringe 0:03:33.659 --> 0:03:36.419 e and we're all gonna laugh at it. I'm sure. 0:03:36.659 --> 0:03:39.299 I know. The Vikings haven't been like a stylish team 0:03:39.419 --> 0:03:41.459 to like this year. They're not in you know, like 0:03:41.499 --> 0:03:45.259 Patrick's jacket was way back when. But I'm picking them, 0:03:45.259 --> 0:03:47.939 picking them this week over the Colts. The jeff Saturday 0:03:47.979 --> 0:03:50.899 experiment has just kind of gone off the rails here 0:03:50.939 --> 0:03:53.099 before the by look at what they have had to 0:03:53.179 --> 0:03:56.099 sit and feel and really think about. The Cowboys beat 0:03:56.099 --> 0:03:58.579 them fifty four to nineteen before the file. Okay, they've 0:03:58.619 --> 0:04:02.739 just been stewing in that and unfortunately it's going to continue. 0:04:02.739 --> 0:04:05.619 The Vikings seventeen. They can clinch a playoffs about their 0:04:05.619 --> 0:04:08.579 first division title since seventeen, and doing it at home 0:04:08.699 --> 0:04:11.379 with a win. They're gonna do it. Patrick, you had 0:04:11.419 --> 0:04:13.779 to know this was coming. We tried to get you 0:04:14.139 --> 0:04:18.099 not to do it last week. You've picked the Ravens 0:04:18.219 --> 0:04:21.419 all year, but the quarterback situation had you shook it 0:04:21.899 --> 0:04:25.579 and you went down with the rest of us. Look 0:04:25.619 --> 0:04:28.859 at that. That's the face that I made the Ravens 0:04:28.899 --> 0:04:32.699 a road underdogs on Saturday. Come back to the Ravens flock, Patrick, 0:04:32.739 --> 0:04:35.299 it is okay. They forgive you. What are you going with? Yes, 0:04:35.659 --> 0:04:37.579 I hope that they do. I will take the Baltimore 0:04:37.659 --> 0:04:40.259 Ravens here sixteen to fourteen because last week I made 0:04:40.259 --> 0:04:43.179 a mistake. I didn't consider the backup quarterback. And in 0:04:43.219 --> 0:04:46.659 this game, the backup quarterback for the opposition is better 0:04:46.699 --> 0:04:48.899 than the guy that's going to be starting for them. 0:04:48.939 --> 0:04:52.499 And I'm looking back at Jacoby percent and what he 0:04:52.539 --> 0:04:56.939 did against the Ravens back in Week seven seven. He 0:04:56.939 --> 0:04:58.579 had a hundred and six rating problem as he got 0:04:58.619 --> 0:05:00.779 sacked five times. It might have been the difference the 0:05:00.859 --> 0:05:02.859 dude that was in the offense and practicing all off 0:05:02.859 --> 0:05:05.619 season had issues with the So how's it going this time? 0:05:05.859 --> 0:05:08.419 With Amari Cooper trying to play through a cord muscle injury. 0:05:09.179 --> 0:05:11.459 I'm just not picking the Browns at this point. Give 0:05:11.459 --> 0:05:14.299 me Baltimore. Yeah, it feels good to pick against the Browns, 0:05:14.299 --> 0:05:16.539 and it feels good to pick Tyler Huntley. It feels 0:05:16.579 --> 0:05:19.219 good to pick this Ravens defense too. Since they've added 0:05:19.299 --> 0:05:21.779 Roquan Smith, they are a different defense. I have the 0:05:21.859 --> 0:05:24.819 Ravens winning this game nineteen to fourteen, and it's because 0:05:24.859 --> 0:05:28.299 of the linebackers. Like, get you a linebacker that can 0:05:28.299 --> 0:05:31.539 do it all. Roquan Smith stops the run. Nick Chubb 0:05:31.579 --> 0:05:33.739 in this running game has not been the same since 0:05:33.739 --> 0:05:36.539 DeShawn Watson took over because they have Watson and shotgun 0:05:36.539 --> 0:05:39.099 a lot and it doesn't work. So Roquan and Patrick 0:05:39.139 --> 0:05:41.539 Queen will get you stop in the run. They're gonna 0:05:41.539 --> 0:05:44.619 get you blitzing, They're gonna get you in coverage. I 0:05:44.619 --> 0:05:47.339 think roke On Smith is really unlocked what Patrick Queen 0:05:47.419 --> 0:05:51.339 can do. And Deshaun Watson, since he's taken over at quarterback, 0:05:51.539 --> 0:05:54.619 is just a step slow with all his his decision making. 0:05:54.859 --> 0:05:57.499 And these linebackers are fast. So I think they're gonna 0:05:57.539 --> 0:06:01.419 feast and they're underdogs this week. That's disrespect to two 0:06:01.499 --> 0:06:03.299 upsets so far. What do you like, I'm gonna make 0:06:03.299 --> 0:06:06.619 it a third here one for the Ravens. I want 0:06:06.619 --> 0:06:08.659 to talk about j K. Dobbins now, who has returned 0:06:08.699 --> 0:06:11.739 from injury. Obviously, what do the Ravens like to do? 0:06:12.819 --> 0:06:17.819 Run the win, also win, eat crab kikes cakes in football. 0:06:17.939 --> 0:06:24.219 That's what Maryland look. I'm liking what I see from 0:06:24.299 --> 0:06:26.499 j K. Dobbins. He adds an extra step. The Browns 0:06:26.499 --> 0:06:29.419 have been vulnerable to the run. I also think that 0:06:29.619 --> 0:06:31.859 scheming with Tyler Huntley means a lot of j K. 0:06:31.979 --> 0:06:34.059 Dobbins volume, means you're gonna play him in fantasy. It 0:06:34.059 --> 0:06:35.779 means all of the runners on this team are going 0:06:35.819 --> 0:06:38.139 to be an opportunity for you to excel. I also 0:06:38.139 --> 0:06:40.219 think it means ball control because we've seen some very 0:06:40.259 --> 0:06:42.739 weird offensive play calling on the other side, and the 0:06:42.779 --> 0:06:45.059 team that controls the ball here is the team that 0:06:45.139 --> 0:06:47.059 wins none of those heavy sets. That Why are the 0:06:47.059 --> 0:06:49.099 Browns not using Nick Chef anymore? I don't know. I 0:06:49.179 --> 0:06:50.619 can't tell you why, but I can tell you that 0:06:50.699 --> 0:06:52.619 J K. Dobbins will eat up the clock and the 0:06:52.739 --> 0:06:55.699 Ravens man A year ago, I used to look at 0:06:55.699 --> 0:06:58.019 this game on the calendar and me like some I'm 0:06:58.139 --> 0:07:01.339 buckling up for this one, and now I look at it, 0:07:01.419 --> 0:07:03.659 with the injuries and just the mess that's going on, 0:07:04.459 --> 0:07:06.019 I feel like there's gonna be one of the uglier 0:07:06.059 --> 0:07:08.619 games this weekend. I'm going Ravens as well. Six year 0:07:09.539 --> 0:07:13.099 meme alert. Thank you Gregg's children. I thought i'd be 0:07:13.139 --> 0:07:15.339 all cute, like picking it up, set here and maybe 0:07:15.339 --> 0:07:17.779 get a dust greg in here. No, and I don't 0:07:17.819 --> 0:07:19.099 like to talk about this too much, but you can 0:07:19.139 --> 0:07:21.539 obviously the disconnect with DeShawn Watson. He looks like a 0:07:21.619 --> 0:07:23.699 quarterback that hasn't played football in a very long time, 0:07:23.699 --> 0:07:25.379 and I thought it was really interesting. He came out 0:07:25.419 --> 0:07:27.739 this week and said, obviously I want to be better, 0:07:27.739 --> 0:07:29.979 but this team needs to be better as well. Don't 0:07:30.019 --> 0:07:32.899 say that, Maybe don't say that, Maybe just don't say anything, 0:07:32.939 --> 0:07:35.019 because the team has been through hell trying to back 0:07:35.059 --> 0:07:37.299 you up and now they're in this mess this season. 0:07:37.339 --> 0:07:39.619 So I am going Baltimore Ravens. I'm steering clear of 0:07:39.619 --> 0:07:41.619 the Browns for the rest of the season. Okay, we're 0:07:41.659 --> 0:07:44.539 talking Dolphins. Bills said, hey, hey, don't start anything about 0:07:44.539 --> 0:07:46.099 the weather of this game. I don't know what it's 0:07:46.139 --> 0:07:50.539 supposed to be network. Everybody talks about it's going to 0:07:50.619 --> 0:07:57.859 be normal much football weather, Rachel football weather weather as Weather. 0:07:58.859 --> 0:08:02.939 Time for the Drive to Excellence presented by Mercedes Benz. 0:08:03.299 --> 0:08:06.099 Oh my god, I cannot wait for this game, Cynthia. 0:08:06.179 --> 0:08:10.099 It was three hundred degrees in Miami in Week three, Okay, 0:08:10.099 --> 0:08:12.979 we all saw them sweating on the sideline. It will 0:08:13.019 --> 0:08:16.539 be significantly colder in Buffalo on Saturday night. The Bills 0:08:16.899 --> 0:08:20.179 are seven point favorites. Hey, would you go to this game? 0:08:20.179 --> 0:08:23.699 Would you brave the cold and be? Who? Do wout? Ago? 0:08:23.779 --> 0:08:25.979 That is like the most fun place. You just have 0:08:26.019 --> 0:08:27.819 to like, buy snowpants, get the hands, just got to 0:08:27.819 --> 0:08:29.299 accept that you're gonna be friends and you won't be 0:08:29.339 --> 0:08:31.739 able to speak right. But that's a fun place to go. 0:08:31.779 --> 0:08:33.939 And those Bills fans, they come out and droves like 0:08:33.979 --> 0:08:35.779 this is a big game and I think they see 0:08:35.779 --> 0:08:37.699 a nice big win here. I have twenty eight to 0:08:37.819 --> 0:08:40.899 nineteen in this matchup in favor of the Bills in 0:08:41.019 --> 0:08:43.459 the hold a hundred and twenty degree swing. Blah blah blah. 0:08:43.459 --> 0:08:45.099 We've all heard it. But I really want to talk 0:08:45.139 --> 0:08:48.659 about Josh Allen, specifically how his tackles line up really 0:08:48.699 --> 0:08:50.899 really wide. Why did they do that? Because then Josh 0:08:50.939 --> 0:08:53.419 Allen can run. So when you're talking about Josh Allen's 0:08:53.419 --> 0:08:56.379 advantage and everyone's saying, well, if there's one thing about 0:08:56.379 --> 0:08:58.099 this team that needs to blah blah blah blah blah, 0:08:58.299 --> 0:09:00.179 like you need to run the football with someone other 0:09:00.179 --> 0:09:02.619 than Josh, Well, if they're gonna keep their tackles out wide, 0:09:02.659 --> 0:09:04.819 he's gonna keep doing this esp they're not going to 0:09:04.899 --> 0:09:07.139 be bringing a ton of pressure. And I also think 0:09:07.139 --> 0:09:09.859 that it's an interesting note there because when they line 0:09:09.899 --> 0:09:11.859 up how a Spencer Brown on the right and you've 0:09:11.899 --> 0:09:14.379 got Dion Dawkins on the left, it makes a big 0:09:14.419 --> 0:09:17.379 B gap, big B gap between the guard and the tackle. 0:09:17.619 --> 0:09:19.899 So if they are going to run, perhaps inside runs 0:09:19.939 --> 0:09:21.499 are the ones to do. And maybe that's not the 0:09:21.499 --> 0:09:23.619 best place to run on the Dolphins. So I like this. 0:09:23.739 --> 0:09:26.219 And I also think, you know, Josh Allen, little running, 0:09:26.219 --> 0:09:29.099 maybe little tease for later. But I'm not writing that down, 0:09:29.139 --> 0:09:31.699 but I would write down when one touchdown for him, 0:09:31.699 --> 0:09:34.299 a rushing touchdown for him? Yeah, like you could run 0:09:34.339 --> 0:09:36.539 it with other people, but you also have a cyborg 0:09:36.619 --> 0:09:39.299 on your team. Why? Yeah, I like a good cyber. 0:09:39.339 --> 0:09:41.059 But plus, if you run it, he's not gonna like 0:09:41.139 --> 0:09:42.899 less of a chance of throwing you an interception. You know, 0:09:43.059 --> 0:09:44.859 he does have a few interceptions this season. And I 0:09:44.899 --> 0:09:47.219 agree with Josh Allen. One thing, the most important thing 0:09:47.219 --> 0:09:50.019 that Josh Allen said this week that I appreciated was 0:09:50.059 --> 0:09:53.619 the cold weather is cold. Josh Allen is a scholar. 0:09:54.139 --> 0:09:56.419 You don't get magical cold powers by being in a 0:09:56.459 --> 0:09:59.979 place like the temperature is the temperature. I'm overall of that. 0:10:00.019 --> 0:10:02.779 But as Cynthia mentioned uh and Gregg pointed out, the 0:10:02.779 --> 0:10:06.299 Bills have a giant mechanic is robot playing quarterback who 0:10:06.379 --> 0:10:08.979 can run the ball and sneaking out of The Bills 0:10:09.019 --> 0:10:12.219 have a top ten rushing offense. The Buffalo Bills in 0:10:12.259 --> 0:10:15.259 a rushing offense that we've maligned coming into the season. 0:10:15.459 --> 0:10:17.779 They're in the top ten. The Bills can run the 0:10:17.779 --> 0:10:20.219 ball against the Dolphins team that's gonna be playing a 0:10:20.219 --> 0:10:24.539 cold weather. Yes, the cold and the temperature and precipitation 0:10:24.619 --> 0:10:29.499 perhaps does impact the passing. Well. The thing is they 0:10:29.539 --> 0:10:32.339 were playing in Los Angeles against the team that cannot 0:10:32.379 --> 0:10:35.819 stop anybody on the ground, and they refused to run 0:10:35.859 --> 0:10:38.459 the ball. So basically I am picking them to cover, 0:10:38.579 --> 0:10:43.059 but but I do have all the Bills win. I'm similar. 0:10:43.179 --> 0:10:45.059 I think seven points is too much, so I have 0:10:45.139 --> 0:10:47.819 the Dolphins covering this spread. But I have the Bills 0:10:47.859 --> 0:10:49.659 win in this game. And it's because they have Matt 0:10:49.739 --> 0:10:53.819 Milano and Tremade Edmonds. It's linebacker day on game debut. 0:10:53.939 --> 0:10:57.539 Matt Milano is the man. You know, all the smart 0:10:57.579 --> 0:10:59.739 football guys were like, you gotta take away the middle 0:10:59.779 --> 0:11:01.979 of the field against TOA. That's just like the thing 0:11:02.059 --> 0:11:03.379 right now? You know how you do that with like 0:11:03.579 --> 0:11:06.539 incredible linebackers. There's only a few of those around. Fred 0:11:06.539 --> 0:11:08.579 Warner is one of them. A couple of weeks ago. 0:11:08.859 --> 0:11:11.939 Matt Milano's another one. Where did he go to school? 0:11:12.779 --> 0:11:15.419 I knew Cynthia would like this. I remember she shouted 0:11:15.459 --> 0:11:17.379 that out when I called him a sneaky good player 0:11:17.419 --> 0:11:20.539 Matt Mulatto four years ago. He's not sneaky good anymore. 0:11:20.579 --> 0:11:23.419 He's an All Pro and he's really working well with 0:11:23.459 --> 0:11:26.059 Tremade Edmonds. Their defense has been different when both of 0:11:26.059 --> 0:11:27.699 them are on the field at the same time, and 0:11:27.699 --> 0:11:30.059 they're both healthy enough to play this game. Love him 0:11:30.099 --> 0:11:32.299 this week. A couple of thoughts here. First off, thoughts 0:11:32.299 --> 0:11:34.699 and prayers to our good friend Colleen Wolf, who apparently 0:11:34.739 --> 0:11:39.219 bought herself some some electric heated pants because she's doing 0:11:39.259 --> 0:11:43.659 the pre show. In the pants will be the wires, 0:11:43.699 --> 0:11:45.899 they will be heated. Okay, so like a good time 0:11:45.939 --> 0:11:48.659 because one of the football players will will be having 0:11:48.699 --> 0:11:50.619 this happen. I want you, I want you to see something. 0:11:50.619 --> 0:11:52.699 I want you to see Mike me Daniel before the game. 0:11:52.739 --> 0:11:54.539 I think this was a practice this week. Look at 0:11:54.539 --> 0:11:57.699 the shirt that he is wearing. I wish it were colder. Listen, 0:11:57.739 --> 0:11:59.819 I'm from Canada. Okay. If you're if you're in a group, 0:12:00.259 --> 0:12:02.779 you're with people, and it's always the person that's like, 0:12:02.819 --> 0:12:05.059 I'm not cold. I can a T shirt out here. 0:12:05.299 --> 0:12:09.299 They're the coldest. Okay, I've seen this before. I know 0:12:09.419 --> 0:12:11.899 this person. And like Cynthia mentioned, when they were at 0:12:11.899 --> 0:12:15.139 so Fine a week ago, they had heaters on their 0:12:15.259 --> 0:12:21.019 bench in Los Angeles. I am going Bills, baby, give 0:12:21.099 --> 0:12:24.539 me the bills, give me a win for the Buffalo Bill. 0:12:24.659 --> 0:12:27.379 We've put that shirt back up. I wish it were colder. 0:12:27.499 --> 0:12:30.059 Can we pull that shirt back up because I'm gonna 0:12:30.219 --> 0:12:32.499 Why do they not have a nicer screen for like this. 0:12:33.059 --> 0:12:35.459 Somebody get this man a better shirt than he ironed 0:12:35.499 --> 0:12:38.019 it on that it was definitely an iron on. It 0:12:38.059 --> 0:12:39.939 looks like the colder like on the side of a 0:12:40.019 --> 0:12:43.659 soda thing you did like you were talking on my 0:12:43.659 --> 0:12:45.739 podcast this week. I feel like he's going to show 0:12:45.819 --> 0:12:48.299 up in like a like a short sleeves and flip 0:12:48.299 --> 0:12:53.059 flops on. I wanted like Michel with a thin we 0:12:53.139 --> 0:12:56.459 have to like figure out like some of Colleen's pants. Yes, 0:12:57.299 --> 0:12:59.499 I'm in this game, weather side. It's going to be 0:12:59.539 --> 0:13:01.579 a very good game of football. Okay, onto the next 0:13:01.619 --> 0:13:04.819 one Lions Jets on Sunday. And I know it was 0:13:04.819 --> 0:13:06.899 a week ago and has nothing to do with this game, 0:13:06.899 --> 0:13:11.259 but can we just continue to appreciate Dan Campbell. I 0:13:11.299 --> 0:13:15.459 love you. Ben Johnson is a genius Lions forever. Even 0:13:15.579 --> 0:13:17.859 if our good friend said Freelan won't love you, Lions, 0:13:18.459 --> 0:13:21.579 I do love you. I will Patrick. I'm gonna start 0:13:21.579 --> 0:13:23.099 with you. I'm gonna give Cynthia a chance to change 0:13:23.099 --> 0:13:24.859 her mind there and just like sit and think about 0:13:24.859 --> 0:13:26.819 this game. So I'm gonna start with you Lions Jets. 0:13:27.099 --> 0:13:29.139 Like I appreciate that because we need Cynthia to be 0:13:29.179 --> 0:13:31.899 back picking we need her on board. I am going 0:13:31.939 --> 0:13:34.659 to pick the Lions in this one. I've got twenty 0:13:34.699 --> 0:13:38.099 two nineteen win over the Jets, and that is because 0:13:39.259 --> 0:13:41.659 I'm wondering if Quentin Williams is going to play in 0:13:41.699 --> 0:13:45.339 this game, missing multiple practices this week. He was so 0:13:45.499 --> 0:13:47.979 dominant in the past few weeks. You look at his 0:13:47.979 --> 0:13:51.539 performance against the Buffalo Bills that their defense is very good. 0:13:51.579 --> 0:13:53.739 Even though Greg left C. J. Mosley off of his 0:13:53.819 --> 0:13:55.739 list of linebackers that can cover up the middle of 0:13:56.339 --> 0:14:01.179 I feel like that there's a tease. Okay, so, but 0:14:01.299 --> 0:14:05.259 potentially um he has the highest pressure percentage of defensive tackles, 0:14:05.499 --> 0:14:08.539 He's got one of the highest run defensive grades, and 0:14:09.659 --> 0:14:12.979 Mike White's beat up this all. Cynthia is all telling 0:14:12.979 --> 0:14:17.179 me Lions. It's just all telling me, telling me Lions too. 0:14:17.219 --> 0:14:18.939 When I put that crown on my head at the 0:14:18.939 --> 0:14:21.139 top of the show, it's because of the Lions. I 0:14:21.139 --> 0:14:23.739 I've restored the roar picking the Lions every week. It's 0:14:23.779 --> 0:14:25.899 like the only thing I've done well Right now. I 0:14:25.939 --> 0:14:28.019 think the Lions win this game because Ben Johnson looks 0:14:28.059 --> 0:14:30.139 at the middle of the field. Patrick Claban was talking 0:14:30.179 --> 0:14:33.739 about the linebacker in the safety position for the Jets 0:14:33.819 --> 0:14:35.939 is I think where you can attack and who's great 0:14:35.979 --> 0:14:38.419 over the middle of the field. It's aman Ra st 0:14:38.419 --> 0:14:41.899 Brown and DeAndre Swift, who looks healthy again, and C. J. 0:14:42.099 --> 0:14:43.819 Mosley is great. But you were giving me a lot 0:14:43.819 --> 0:14:46.459 of stats run defense, rushing the pastor. I don't think 0:14:46.459 --> 0:14:48.819 he's as good in coverage. I think the Lions are 0:14:48.899 --> 0:14:51.779 faster there and we should mention Mike White is not 0:14:51.779 --> 0:14:54.979 playing in this game. It was to twenty four and 0:14:55.099 --> 0:14:57.619 my score prediction, and then I found out Zach Wilson 0:14:57.699 --> 0:14:59.939 is playing. So I like the Lions to score a 0:14:59.939 --> 0:15:02.059 lot of points no matter who they're playing, no matter 0:15:02.139 --> 0:15:04.179 what the weather is. I do not like Zach Wilson 0:15:04.299 --> 0:15:06.379 to score a lot of points in this game. Okay, 0:15:06.539 --> 0:15:12.979 I saw the Jets two. There's a lot of boys 0:15:13.059 --> 0:15:15.779 available in this one, Like Rookie of the Year candidates, 0:15:15.779 --> 0:15:19.459 there's someone defense lost gardener Ad Hutchinson. But on offense, 0:15:19.859 --> 0:15:24.259 give me my camera, I'm talking about the Jets Rookie 0:15:24.299 --> 0:15:27.859 of the Year candidate, Barrett Wrong. Do you not think 0:15:27.899 --> 0:15:30.419 he's going to play? Well? What are we talking about here? 0:15:30.459 --> 0:15:33.139 I understand it. Zach Wilson. I understand that this seems 0:15:33.179 --> 0:15:37.219 a little bit more difficult, but I think both Bamnovan Knight. 0:15:37.419 --> 0:15:38.939 I don't know if the bam it's hard for me 0:15:38.939 --> 0:15:41.619 to say that just seems silly night Bam Knight. Okay, 0:15:41.619 --> 0:15:43.139 it's not even Knight. I think he's going to have 0:15:43.179 --> 0:15:45.379 a good game. When you look at this line's defense, 0:15:45.419 --> 0:15:47.819 guess what they rank against the past. Guess what they 0:15:47.899 --> 0:15:56.139 rank against yards numbers? Second time, the first month of 0:15:56.139 --> 0:15:59.299 the season was two months ago. Long time to No, 0:15:59.459 --> 0:16:02.339 it's not justin Jefferson just scored like all of the 0:16:02.419 --> 0:16:05.379 yards tree that was a lot, That was a lot 0:16:05.379 --> 0:16:07.139 of arts. So I think you gotta look a see. 0:16:07.739 --> 0:16:10.219 I'm not sorry. I love the Lions. It's not a left. 0:16:10.299 --> 0:16:11.699 This is how you know I do love them because 0:16:11.739 --> 0:16:14.459 even though they're losers, I still love them. Give me 0:16:14.499 --> 0:16:20.059 my camera as an icon. Okay, well, Adam rank too long. 0:16:21.139 --> 0:16:24.819 I'm going Lions here, come on and Bregg and I 0:16:24.859 --> 0:16:27.579 have enjoyed riding this team the entire season, and I 0:16:27.619 --> 0:16:30.459 will continue to do so until the end of the 0:16:30.459 --> 0:16:33.459 regular season twenty one and I want to talk about 0:16:33.459 --> 0:16:36.139 this quarterback situation. Mike White's not playing, Okay, Zack Wilson 0:16:36.219 --> 0:16:37.979 has had a weird couple of weeks. Do you guys 0:16:38.019 --> 0:16:40.539 remember this, what was this to? Three weeks ago? Everyone 0:16:40.579 --> 0:16:44.379 showed up wearing Mike White T shirts for his first start. 0:16:44.539 --> 0:16:47.179 You know, Zach Wilson's on that very bus behind them, 0:16:47.219 --> 0:16:49.779 he is seeing them all wear these shirts. That is 0:16:50.179 --> 0:16:52.899 awkward and weird, and he is young and impressionable, and 0:16:52.899 --> 0:16:55.059 now he has to come back and play with this 0:16:55.099 --> 0:16:58.179 locker room who he has lost apparently from what we 0:16:58.219 --> 0:17:00.499 are seeing, that's gonna be kind of tough to gel 0:17:00.539 --> 0:17:03.459 and mesh with these guys. Um when they're probably who knows, 0:17:03.499 --> 0:17:06.339 they might show up wearing my my white shirts again. 0:17:06.379 --> 0:17:09.179 That would that would be insane, but I wouldn't put 0:17:09.179 --> 0:17:11.979 it past them. Go Lions go. Okay, coming up after 0:17:12.019 --> 0:17:16.539 the break, we got cowboys who were looking like what 0:17:16.579 --> 0:17:19.339 was that about with the Texans? Last week? They take 0:17:19.339 --> 0:17:21.819 on the Jags. Do the Jags have a chance? Is 0:17:21.819 --> 0:17:25.059 this another cheese game? Jags always have a chance? Made 0:17:25.139 --> 0:17:28.179 us look bad last week? Yeah, they did. Don't go anywhere. 0:17:28.179 --> 0:17:42.139 We're talking this game after they're very good. Okay, let's 0:17:42.139 --> 0:17:44.539 talk about this game. Greg, you are up in the pis. 0:17:44.579 --> 0:17:48.779 You've got some room to roll the dice taking the 0:17:48.939 --> 0:17:52.059 jet I thought about it hard. How did you know 0:17:52.259 --> 0:17:54.939 I am taking the Jaguars to cover the spread? I 0:17:54.979 --> 0:17:58.139 think they're gonna thread the needle. Trevor Lawrence isn't fighting 0:17:58.139 --> 0:17:59.779 a fair fight here. He doesn't have the running game 0:17:59.859 --> 0:18:02.019 or the defense that Dak Prescott does. But he might 0:18:02.059 --> 0:18:05.179 be the better quarterback, at least right now in this game. 0:18:05.539 --> 0:18:08.819 Trevor Lawrence is playing so well. I gotta show some incompletions. 0:18:08.859 --> 0:18:10.939 I mean, that's moving to the left in the pocket. 0:18:11.019 --> 0:18:14.379 I'm too You got to catch that. That's one of 0:18:14.419 --> 0:18:17.939 the throws of the week. Trevor Lawrence has moments in 0:18:17.979 --> 0:18:21.459 these games quarters at a time where he just gets unconscious. 0:18:21.499 --> 0:18:23.899 This was a past interference where he has about a 0:18:23.979 --> 0:18:26.539 two inch window and he puts it on the shoulder 0:18:26.819 --> 0:18:29.779 of the cornerback. Didn't happen. And then that touchdown to 0:18:29.859 --> 0:18:33.619 Evan Ingram. I just love the confidence he is playing with. 0:18:33.699 --> 0:18:35.579 You can hear it in his press converence. You can 0:18:35.619 --> 0:18:38.339 see it on the field when he disregarded his coach's 0:18:38.419 --> 0:18:40.939 wishes and ran a two point conversion and by himself. 0:18:40.939 --> 0:18:43.139 They didn't know what he was doing. Trevor's just taken over. 0:18:43.539 --> 0:18:45.539 So I think he threads the needle and wins, gets 0:18:45.579 --> 0:18:50.819 keeps it close. He's growing up. He is. I have one, 0:18:50.859 --> 0:18:53.419 and this one in favor of the Cowboys, in part 0:18:53.419 --> 0:18:56.219 because of their defense. Trevor Lawrence has been playing pretty well. 0:18:56.259 --> 0:18:58.219 He is on the injury report though, so we do 0:18:58.499 --> 0:19:02.339 I expect him to play. However, it is something worth monitoring. 0:19:02.459 --> 0:19:03.819 But I really want to talk about how he's been 0:19:03.819 --> 0:19:06.339 spreading it around. So when you talk about Za Jones, 0:19:06.339 --> 0:19:08.379 he's a good pick for fantasy if you're desperate for 0:19:08.419 --> 0:19:10.819 your wide receiver. Talk about Evan Ingram. You talk about 0:19:10.899 --> 0:19:13.619 all of the different ways that he's been effective and efficient. 0:19:13.899 --> 0:19:16.339 That has a lot of shades of when Carson Wentz 0:19:16.339 --> 0:19:18.939 was at his best with Peterson, and those shades of 0:19:19.219 --> 0:19:21.699 spreading it to all of his different pass catchers. That 0:19:21.859 --> 0:19:24.459 is a huge advantage. So I think a seven point wins, 0:19:24.459 --> 0:19:26.419 so nothing too crazy that I understand. Four and a 0:19:26.459 --> 0:19:28.859 half is what it is. But I think a nice 0:19:28.859 --> 0:19:32.219 one score win and a nice evolution of you know, 0:19:32.539 --> 0:19:34.659 Trevor Lawrences evolution is going great, and I think we 0:19:34.699 --> 0:19:37.739
