But that's 8 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: the only alteration. I mean, that's the only alterations. We 9 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: will have a show on Friday, So if you're looking 10 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: for that, you can find us here on Friday. So 11 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: we still got plenty of time to break down the 12 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: Bengals and get oh yeah, yeah, what a big, big 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: game for them. Absolutely, I mean the division is crazy 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: right now, these power ranks. I have no clue where 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: a lot of teams are going to be at Thanksgiving slate. 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: It's not real exciting though, you know, I kind of 17 00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: like that because I don't have to stay as for 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: focused them. How about every one of those teams lost 19 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: this past week, every team that plays on thanks six, Yeah, 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: I guess they did one this weekend. Really exciting. Yeah. Well, 21 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,639 Speaker 1: speaking of which, as we get to Dannreas power ranking 22 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,919 Speaker 1: here on NFL dot com. The Detroit Lions are now second. 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: They gotta be. Yeah, oh nine and one. They were 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: made a game of it against the Browns. I think 25 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: it's just speaks more volumes about the Browns and the 26 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: Lions play. They Steelers like game. You know, they play hard. 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: The difference was ever starting Doyle or whim By. The 28 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: Browns couldn't pull away from him. He was horrendous. I 29 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: mean like it couldn't complete pass Baker Mayfield. That's what's 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: gonna say. He wasn't much better. And I don't understand that. 31 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess we can get to the Browns. 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: I know he's the face of the franchise and he's 33 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: tough and he wants to play. You can't tell me 34 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: a healthy Keenom isn't better than that. Yeah, I mean 35 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: he's got like five injuries. Yeah, and they almost lost 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: because of it. They're passing games a problem no matter 37 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: what though. It's not good, not good. The Lions are 38 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: bad though, obviously. Yeah at thirty one. The two and 39 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: eight Jets. They play the Texans this week, big game 40 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: that will be family members don't want to watch that. 41 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: That's not on Thanks good. Yeah, I guess the Jets 42 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: belong there. Um, they kind of hung with Miami. You 43 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: know who's won three in a row, and Miami is 44 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: probably moving up this list. And they SLACKO did NFL 45 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: quarterback stuff and Elijah Moore broke out. That was what 46 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: I would like like the most. But they aren't a 47 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: good football They're not team at all. At thirty down 48 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: a spot the Jaguars, Yeah, you could make the arguments 49 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: they should be at least thirty one. They're pretty bad. 50 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: They're pretty bad. They were not smoked at home at all. 51 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: You know, they got smoked at home. Um at nine 52 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: up three spots the Houston Texans. That might be the 53 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: highest they end up all year. Well, but if they 54 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: handled that, they handled the Titans pretty easily. They did. 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: The Titans will be let's we'll talk Titans when we 56 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: get there. I have my doubts about them, but they 57 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: made some money on that game. They intercepted Ryan tanney 58 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: Hill four times. Their defense isn't bad and outgained More importantly, 59 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: outgained the Titans. FO. Yeah, the Titans have now lost 60 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: games to the Jets and the Texans. Now I think 61 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: that I'm not sure the Titans. They'll probably get in 62 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: the postseason, but they're cocked. I mean in like the 63 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 1: world of power ranks and contenders. They should keep dropping 64 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: and dropping. They don't have any playmakers. That's a team 65 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: the Steelers will play later this season. Good, it's yeah, 66 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: you want to get right. They made it through. They 67 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: rallied the troops after losing Derrick Henry and now the 68 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: reality is the reality is set in. Everybody has figured 69 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: out these guys can't run the football. They can't run 70 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: the football. And if they can't run the football, and 71 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: you make Ryan tanney Hill throw, you're finding out what 72 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: Miami found out about him. Why Miami got rid of them. Well, 73 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: their play action game is gone, you know. I mean, 74 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: they've had astronomical numbers off play action and they're not 75 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: running as much play action and it's not as effective. 76 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: And A. J. Brown was in and out of that game. 77 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: Julio's on, I R a bunch of dudes out there, 78 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: you know, touching the football that I've barely heard of. 79 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: I mean, the names aren't much different. Opposite of the 80 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: Steelers were Defensively, that's what the Titans now are offensively. 81 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: It's skill wives, right, the quarterback in lines in place, 82 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: but everyone touches the ball. Are no names At eight 83 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: down a spot the four and six Atlanta Falcons. Given 84 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: the way that they played Thursday night, they might be 85 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: thirty or thirty one. They're not a good football team 86 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: right now. They're thirty second in d v O A. 87 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: They're bad on both sides of the ball. Who yeah 88 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: that they have nothing again? Yeah, you take one weapon, 89 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: you take everything it's missing out of that and a 90 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: rookie tight end who's lining up against number one corners 91 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: and you know best you know, you know, five day 92 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: span they were outscored three they should be pretty low. 93 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh At seven down two spots 94 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, they should have beaten the Ravens. This 95 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: is what we're saying every given week. We're saying that 96 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: the Ravens should have lost. They have a horseshoe right 97 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: up there the poop. Shoot. I don't know what's going 98 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: on there with them. I give them credit and learned 99 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: how to win. But good for them. It's amazing. Every 100 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: game is the same with them. I don't think they're 101 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: a good football team. I don't think they're not a 102 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: great football They ain't. They're They're a good football team, 103 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: they're not a great one. They won without Lamar, that's amazing, 104 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: But really I'm up big on they should have lost 105 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: that game when they didn't win. Teams win. They did 106 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: enough to win, but they should have lost that game. 107 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: They should have lost the Lions anyway. They gave up 108 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: a worth down fifty yard much like the Steeler game. 109 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: They get fourth down, give up a fifty yard touchdown 110 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: pass with less than two minutes. Yeah, I guess the 111 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: Bears are that low. I mean some of their momentum 112 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: shot fields out. Now we get Bears Lions on Thursday 113 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: with Dalton and hopeful to hopefully we get Golf the 114 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: four starting quarterback in the league. Yeah at twenty six 115 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: down four spots the Seattle Seahawks they're really bad too. Yeah, 116 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: they deserve it. Wilson is not healthy and it's been 117 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: a year now. If you look at like halfway through 118 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: last year, everyone plays that offense the same. They double 119 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: d k, they don't allow the big play. The running 120 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: backs are a bunch of plotters. Defense is at best average. 121 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they're a bad team and they don't have 122 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: a first round pick this year because they gave it, 123 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: which I will be third. Yeah, I mean it's like 124 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: a super high pick. And I mean this could affect 125 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: the Steelers or whomever. But if I'm Russell Wilson, now 126 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: I really went out. I went out and call says 127 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm done, he's old. I mean they have been made 128 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: first round picks, like besides DK Metcalf, name me one 129 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: first contract player that's a foundational guy for them. The 130 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks kids. Okay at linebacker, but they have nothing 131 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: to build around. They need every pick they can get. 132 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: And to me that Russell's gotta go, and why would 133 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: you want to come back? Agree? They might be the 134 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: worst game in the league next year. Yeah, and they're 135 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: not far now. Uh Five down a spot. The New 136 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: York Giants who fired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett today. Oh 137 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: I didn't see that, did you see Who's If you 138 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: didn't know that, then you didn't know who the replacement is. 139 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: I don't want Freddy Kitchens really, at least he's done 140 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: it placing one joker for with another. They're all get fired. Yeah, 141 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's getting bad again. Um boy, Kenny 142 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: Golladay does not look like a signing worth anything. That 143 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: interior O line just got demolish. I don't know how 144 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: much you watched last night. I didn't see it down it. Yeah, 145 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: they weren't real competitive, and I mean they got problems 146 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: that might be a little rich for them. Yeah, they're 147 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: not very good. Well, here's a whole bunch of teams. 148 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: There's a lot of bad ones. Four at four and 149 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,559 Speaker 1: seven up four spots. The Miami Dolphins three game winning 150 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: Street two is playing okay, yeah, yeah, I mean that's 151 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: that's fine by all the teams that are below you 152 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: on this y. Yeah. Uh twenty three, the five and 153 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: five Denver Broncos, they held steady. Yeah, they were off. 154 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: They're not a contender. No, no, I mean I got 155 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: don't much to add to that. I think they just 156 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: put Garrett Bowls on the I R two. I didn't 157 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: catch any news today, but that was earlier. That was 158 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: the last YE up Saturday. Yeah at twenty two, down 159 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: two spots, the fast fading Las Vegas Raiders. I think 160 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: they're shocked, are done. Ye who finishes worst than who 161 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: finishes last in the a f C West Raiders? I 162 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: think so too. Yeah, I mean like they trust the 163 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 1: coaching staff in Denver more than I trust. It's just 164 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: more stability. Yeah, exactly, their defense is better. The Raiders 165 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: are done. They don't do things well and what's crazy, 166 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: that's something about this on the podcast to day, like 167 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: one of their only strengths was a real line and 168 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: they just totally moved on from and now cars under 169 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: pressure all the time. He doesn't handle pressure as well 170 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: as most saw all this coming, like, you know, just 171 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: playing out. Uh at twenty one, up five spots the 172 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: four and six Washington football team. They have life. That's 173 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: a big win for them. Yeah, he Niki is so 174 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: up and down, but some kind of upload is exactly 175 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: what you don't want your quarterback to be. Absolutely much 176 00:09:52,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: like Bridgewater is. But you know what you're getting and 177 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: they ran the ball pretty well. McLaurin had a big day. 178 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: We'll get the Carolina but Carolinas o line was a 179 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: real problem in that one too. Yeah. Well they're they're 180 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: down a spot at twenty there, five and six. Um, 181 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: it's a rough loss for their playoff chances. But I 182 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: don't think they're a terrible team. I still think that's 183 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: a top ten maybe better defense. They got weapons. Cam 184 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: had a respectable Dolphins this week. It's a big game 185 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: for both of them. Is a big game for both 186 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, but Cam helps the stabilize things. Yeah, 187 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: fed McCaffrey at nineteen down the spot the Steelers. I 188 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: guess I have to see who's directly above them. But 189 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: that seems a little rough for me. Yeah, well, I 190 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: thought he was lowing him last week. I mean, you're 191 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: not gonna move him up right at eighteen down fives 192 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: the worst team in the division. No, I don't think 193 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: so either. I think I think it's clearly Cleveland. Yeah, 194 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: eighteen down five spots are the Saints? I had the 195 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: Steelers are the Saints. I think the Saints are shot too. Yeah, 196 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: they had no quarterback. They're another one. I mean, with 197 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: Kamara out, your best offensive weapon is mark Ingram. You know, 198 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: he's a nice story coming back, and we know the name, 199 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: but you got to be seven years old, right, I 200 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: mean the Texans could have no use for him, and 201 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: they had their tackles out. They lost three straight games. 202 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how you can't put that there. Now, 203 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: they're fast fading. They're like the Raiders. Really, Um, it's 204 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: seventeen up four spots are those Eagles? They may even 205 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: be better. They wall up the Saints. I mean, I 206 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: forget what the score of that game was, like, twenty 207 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: seven of the Saints points, twenty six of them were garbage, 208 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: pure garbage time. I mean, there was a total owning 209 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: of the lacking. Eagles have a no line in a 210 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: running game, and they're they're getting better. It's sixteen, actually, 211 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: the Eagle schedules unbelievably easy and maybe a playoff team. 212 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: It's sixteen up a spot the five and fives. That's right. 213 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: They're they're definitely ascending. I think the Eagles and Niners 214 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: have a chance to get in the postseason. Yeah, I'm 215 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: not sure either one of them are markedly better than 216 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: the Steelers though, no, no, I agree with that. At 217 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: fifteen up a spot the Bengals, I'm cool with that. 218 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they were on two game losing streak, but 219 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: they were very impressive, pretty much wiping the floor with 220 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: the Raiders in a second half. Yeah, that was in 221 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: their defense was pretty dominant against the Raiders. At fourteen, 222 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: we haven't at the Browns yet, though, fourteen down two spots, 223 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: only two spots the Browns, they would be I think, 224 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: I think, I think if you put the Bengals at fourteen. 225 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Steelers are fifteen. Maybe they're 226 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: in that sixteen seventeen range, and I would put the 227 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: Browns at nineteen. I put the Browns ahead of like 228 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: the Raiders and Saints, but that's because those teams are 229 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: just falling off a cliff or I'm not sure that 230 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: the Browns arms. They've kind of they're on the way 231 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: down to be passing it. Field is not good. He's 232 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: not good when he's right, and now he's worse, and 233 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: now they're locked in. They're they're already locked into paying 234 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: him like eighteen million dollars next year. They picked up 235 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: his option. They picked up his options, so they're not 236 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: moving on from him next year. So to Carolina, with 237 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: Donald at down three spots, the seven and three Ravens, 238 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: they should go down. I think that's who they are. 239 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: I think that's who they are. They could win the 240 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I mean, I don't think they can. I 241 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: don't think they I don't think they can win the 242 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think they can make the playoffs. Certainly 243 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: at seven and three, you would expect that to happen. 244 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: I guess they're the best team in the division, but 245 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: their schedules ridiculously time. I mean, if the Steelers sweep 246 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: the Ravens this year, which they did last year, they 247 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: know how to play that quarterback, oh yeah, yeah as 248 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: well as anybody. Yeah they holes. Yeah. This is why 249 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying everybody, you know, the division is not nearly 250 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: as difficult called as it looked at the start of 251 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: the season. Not even these preseason power rankings, the Ravens 252 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: and Browns were like top five teams, right absolutely. I 253 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: mean it's really easy to focus on the negatives with 254 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: the Steelers and they have their share just like but 255 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: the other three teams have just the same. There's no 256 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: Jugger not there. I'm not sure the Bengals aren't the 257 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: best team. I mean, it's really what have you done 258 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: for me lately? Opinion? But they have a good quarterback 259 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: that the more homework I'm doing on him, I'm more 260 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: impressed than I thought. But I'm not that impressive. All 261 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: you get that you get the Ravens, Browns, and Bengals 262 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: at fourteen fifteen and the Steelers done at nineteen. I 263 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: don't think like one thing is different than the other. 264 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: I think there's anything is It's they're all pretty similar. Yeah, 265 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: I think Cleveland might be the outlier, right, I mean, 266 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: because the other three teams at least have a quarterback. 267 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: And again, I defend power rankers because if you trot 268 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: out the defense we saw on Sunday night, Steelers, you know, 269 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: if they have to play with that every week, But 270 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: that was one time thing, It's not gonna happen this week, 271 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: you know that. I don't know. I mean, that's like saying, 272 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: I mean Baltimore is gonna get Lamar back. Yeah, right? 273 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: You know at twelve up three spots, the Indianapolis Colts 274 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: trend in the right direction in a big way around? 275 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: Was that as much about the Colts trending in the 276 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: right direction or the Bills trending in the wrong direction both? 277 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know where I would put the Bills, 278 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: but I thought that run defense would be competitive. I 279 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: mean it was Jonathan Jonathan Taylor might be the league 280 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: MVP right now. He's making a strong case. I mean, 281 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: he's in the contention for best back in the league. 282 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: He's got it all has. None of the quarterbacks are 283 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: really too right and he's the best back of the 284 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: of the season at eleven. I mean, they're better than 285 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: the Titans eleven holding steady. The Chargers, Yeah, they have 286 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: issues too, but you know, it's ten up four spots. 287 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: This might be a little rich from me. The five 288 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: and five Vikings, mhm. I guess they belong in this neighborhood, 289 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: and they've looked good throughout the They've been like I guess. 290 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: They did just beat the Chargers, Chargers and then the Packers, 291 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: so the momentum is going the right direction. They're one 292 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: of the few good offenses that can play it anyway 293 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: you want, you know, like, oh, you're gonna take away 294 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: the pass well hand that was waiting to turn. I 295 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: watched that game because that was what was all the 296 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: ball to the our team a couple of times, and 297 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: they get the penalties that negated them. Yeah, he was. 298 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: He's loose with the football and he's only kept thrashing. 299 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: He's only thrown two interceptions this season. Well, he could 300 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: have had three more in that game easily, without question. 301 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: That's a good point. I guess that's probably the highest 302 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: they could ever be though in the rank. I think, 303 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I don't have a problem 304 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: with it. For whatever the other teams around them, did recently. 305 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: But that's their that's their ceiling at nine holding steady. 306 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: The Rams, yeah, they didn't do anything wrong. I mean 307 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: some of the teams ahead of them did. I might 308 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: have them higher after after this weekend's games and some 309 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: teams are gonna match. I think they're worse with the 310 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: Rams at eight down six spots. The Titans there would 311 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: be much worse for me. They don't have anything. They 312 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: just did beat the Rams a few weeks ago. I mean, 313 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: they're they're resumes. But if you look at what they 314 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: are now, even with a J. Brown, they don't have 315 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: enough weapons. They just don't. They're playing. It's seven down, 316 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: two spots the six and four Bills. Mm hmm. It's 317 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: a little kind two spots. They moved down. That's a 318 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: little kind. I mean they get smoked. They got destroid. 319 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: They don't run the ball. They gave up two and 320 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: sixty four rushing yards. Yeah, smoked, man. I don't know 321 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: that I'd be that kind of the Bills. I think 322 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: i'd have them behind the Rams. It's six up, two spots. 323 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: The Patriots that should they're go in the right direction. 324 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: They're beating the teams are supposed to beat. I still 325 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: think the Bills are better, but the Patriots are playing better. Yes, 326 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: who do you think? I think I know your answer. 327 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: Do you think the Bills have a better chance to 328 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: win the whole thing? Yeah, because their best day is 329 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: much better than the Patriots best, without a doubt, Without 330 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: a doubt. At five down, two spots, the Cowboys rough 331 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: go of it. They I mean, they lose a Marie 332 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: Cooper on Friday. On Friday, Lamb gets a concussion and 333 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you're you know, and then 334 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: Zeke was in and out of that game. He doesn't 335 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: look right the last week or two as well. And 336 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get the Chiefs defense credit. It's gotten much 337 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: better than it was in the beginning of the year. 338 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: And Chris Jones was dominant in that game. Someday, I 339 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: hope you're sitting at the Hall of Fame conversation for 340 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: Tyrone Smith, their left tackle. Someone's gonna come up with 341 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: numbers in his career of this is what Dallas's offense does. 342 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: Smiths in the game without and I bet it's like 343 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: two touchdowns different marked difference. Yeah. At four up, three spots, 344 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Yeah, they deserve it. I don't know if 345 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: they fixed anything that they had nineteen points Sunday. I 346 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: think they fixed their defense. It's a massive misconception that 347 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: the offenses fixed. They had a good game against the Raiders. 348 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: That's begged them to do it, that's been it. Yeah, 349 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: you watched the replays that game. The Raiders are like 350 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: playing single high safety and stuff against everything you're not 351 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: supposed to do. But I do think the Chiefs d 352 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: is fixed at three, up three spots. The seven and 353 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: three Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yeah, they're taking care of business. 354 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: I mean, again, you don't watch last night's game, but 355 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: total business. You know, they could do whatever they wanted. 356 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: They were never threatened in that game. Very typical to 357 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: down a spot the eight and three Packers. Mm hmm. Yeah, 358 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. And that leaves us with the 359 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: number one team up three spots, the Arizona Cardinals. Cope 360 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: McCoy played really well against Seattle, and now they would 361 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: buy they should get Kyler back, they should get some 362 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,959 Speaker 1: guys back. Um, I guess i'd be one for me. 363 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: So the top ranked a f C team now is 364 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: the Chiefs at four. The number two a FC team 365 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: is the Patriots at six. That's how I would have them, 366 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: and I have the Bills third. I still think it's 367 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: the Bills are the better team. Yeah, I mean, I 368 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: think it's a conversation. They're more talented again, their ceilings 369 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: much higher. Patriots are playing better football right now. Though 370 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: the Bills have a couple of bad losses, a couple 371 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: of bad losses, and as do some of these other teams. Yeah, 372 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: I mean it's not uncommon in today's NFL. I mean, 373 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: have a bad tie. It looks better than some of 374 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: these losses. I mean, yeah, if you went through the 375 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 1: top ten and looked at their losses, how do they 376 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: lose that team? Yeah, Houston beat them, Jets beat them, 377 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: or you know, you know how they lose the you know, 378 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: I mean the Patriots lost to Miami in Week one 379 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: and then Miami didn't win another game for like seven 380 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: straight weeks for a long time. Undoubtedly, Uh, Tennessee is 381 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: the one. I think it is not a contender that 382 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: people might have thought. As Tennessee is now sitting there 383 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: at eight and three right now, they'll probably get in. 384 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: I mean I don't think even when the Colts, if 385 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: they would yeah, if they split, if they had split 386 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: with the Colts, they'd be in serious trouble. In serious trouble, 387 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: but now they have been nice enough cushion. I don't 388 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: think the Colts are gonna steamroll the league. They play 389 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: the Patriots this week, who Tennessee, Tennessee. I think they 390 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: lose that Patriots, then it is it looks like maybe 391 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: they have a buy Then then I don't think they've 392 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: had it yet. Yeah. Then they play the the Jaguars. 393 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: It's probably a win. Then they come to Pittsburgh. Right now, 394 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: I'd love to play the Titans. I mean, maybe the 395 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 1: Julio is back for that one, but maybe he got 396 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: hurt again since then, who knows. Then they host the 397 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: forty Niners. If I was doing the power ranks right now, 398 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: I think forty Niners better than Titans based on this, 399 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: just how they're playing right now right now, I would 400 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: pick the Niners to win. Then they hosted Dolphins. Then 401 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: they get a game they travel improved. They traveled to 402 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: the to Houston for the rematch. Mhm. I mean I 403 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: like their chances. I mean the game, but they got 404 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: six games left. Can they win three of them? Yeah? Probably? 405 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean I think they'll get in as they're playing 406 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: right now. They can lose everyone. They can lose to 407 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: any game on that sky, like all of them. Yeah, 408 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: they could. They go out and play like they just 409 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: lost to the Texans and the game that wasn't competitive. 410 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: They lost badly, right, without question. That's why when you 411 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: when you know, when if you're a Steeler fan and 412 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: you're looking at that game, well you're tied to Lions. Okay, 413 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: you didn't lose. You didn't lose. You didn't lose. You 414 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: got through a game without your starting quarterback. You didn't 415 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: lose the game. Um, that's like Arizona number one on 416 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: this list, Like do you just weather the storm without 417 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: Kyler and Hopkins? Now you go into your by you 418 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: take it, I mean, considering what everybody's dealing with. Yeah, 419 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: I know you lost one that you're regretting, but you 420 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: beat a division team with Colt McCoy and now you 421 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: gotta buy and look out. Yeah. I mean that's why 422 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: that game by Ravens was so you know they Okay, 423 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: when you won a game about your starting quarterback, who's 424 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: been your entire offense this year. I didn't think they would. 425 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: And they knocked fields out of the game too. I mean, 426 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: I think about the quarterbacks in the Browns and Ravens games. 427 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: I mean it was Huntley and then Fields, who was 428 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: struggling a little, and incomes Dalton and then it was boil. Right, 429 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: there's a Doyle. I've been calling them boil on one 430 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: all day. Mayfield, who's got five injuries and was probably 431 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: the Browns second best quarterback on that day. You know, 432 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: like that's maybe if you look at the Ravens remaining 433 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: believe the whole division one the Steers. Here's the Ravens 434 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: remaining schedule. There's seven and three. It's not fun seven 435 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: and three right now? They host the Browns this week, 436 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: and then the Browns good bye, Browns have a bye. 437 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: Then they come to Pittsburgh. Then they then they traveled 438 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: to Baltimore, or they traveled to Cleveland, I should say. 439 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: Then it's Packers at evens. I mean, I assume Lamar 440 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: is gonna not have a fever or whatever, because this 441 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: is a pretty lengthy illness. Um, so then you go 442 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: to Green Babes, they host the Packers. That's no fun. 443 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers will eat that secondary up. Uh. Then they 444 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: have to travel to Cincinnati, who already smoked him. At 445 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: home and then they finish up January two against the Rams. Wow, 446 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: that's much harder than the Steelers. In they get the 447 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: Packers and Rams waiting here for him. I mean, I will. 448 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's why you know the Steelers. I like 449 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: the Ravens chances against the Browns, though, Okay, I hate 450 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: the fact if I'm a Ravens fan that the Browns 451 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: get to play us, sit and play us. I think 452 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: that's such an advantage for Cleveland. The Steelers finish up 453 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: the season in Baltimore on January nine. I'm gonna go 454 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: out on the limb right here and say, the winner 455 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: of that game may win the division. I'm not may. 456 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: I think the winner of that game wins the division. 457 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,959 Speaker 1: What's since he schedule? Could? I think since he might 458 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: win the division? And again, I'm it's very recent bias. 459 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: Four of the all four of the a f C 460 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: North teams have ridiculous schedules. I know, I know they're 461 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: all in like the top five. So it's Steelers Bengals 462 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: this week, Then it's Chargers Bengals in Cincinnati. I'm those teams. 463 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: Then it's forty Niners Bengals. Bengals get three straight home games. 464 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: How about that? Uh, then it's Bengals at Denver December 465 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: nine in Denver, in Denver, right, it could be kind 466 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: of ugly, right. Then it's Ravens at Bengals. Then it's 467 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: Chiefs at Bengals. Then it's Bengals at Browns. To finish 468 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: up the song. So both those teams, the Ravens and Bengals' 469 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: that's why these next two weeks are so important for 470 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Win these two games. You're sitting pretty now, 471 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: you're right, but like the Bengals and Raves, Ravens hardest 472 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: or easiest games, or Denver and the Browns. You know, like, yeah, there, 473 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: I assume their favorite in those games, but not by 474 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: more than three. Yeah, it's definitely all still right there 475 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: for the Steelers to uh to take advantage of. But 476 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: they have to take advantage of it. This starting this 477 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: weekend is so crazy. Gotta win both of these games. 478 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: Do me one quick favor and check the Eagle schedule. 479 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: That's why I think the Eagles are going to don't 480 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: care about the Eagles want to talk about we gotta 481 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 1: take a break, alright, But I had a joke all 482 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: set up though they got they got the Giants and Jets. 483 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 1: They got the Sinatra, the New York, New York got 484 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: the New York. All right, I get you there, I 485 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: get you there.
