WEBVTT - Week 9 Score Picks and Predictions - Marquee Matchups, Explosive Offenses Face Off in Frankfurt, and a Sunday Night Showdown in Cincy 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.480 Hey, everybody, Welcome to game debut President by Mercedes Benz, 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:08.640 Patrick Claib I'm glad to be here with Greg Rosenthal 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:11.639 and Cynthia Freeland. We started Week nine in the NFL. 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.000 Will get you all of the games that we're looking 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.279 ahead to, but first let's look back and see what 0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:20.639 our current standings are going into this week. And things are, Yeah, 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.720 give them a little tighter. Greg Rosenthal still wearing the crown, 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.720 but Cynthia Freeland and I both went twelve and four. 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.120 Well, I like to make an official statement. I am 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:33.520 not accepting the results of the Giants Jets game. I've 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:38.880 forced a complaint. I'm proposing that the Giants actually won 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.199 that game. That was ridiculous what happened at the end 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.520 of that I'm not accepting that. We're waiting to hear 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:44.920 back from the rules committee. 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.120 All right, A stat correction request from Greg Rosenthal. First, 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:49.760 who got the game of the year The Dolphins and 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.880 Chiefs from Frankfurt, Germany, Sunday nine and thirty am Eastern, 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.680 exclusively on NFL Network and streaming on NFL Plus. You know, 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.440 Tyreek wants to beat his old team. Before the game, 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.400 he's sitting down with Michael Irvin. Here's a sneak peak. 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.480 You get a chance to go up against that former team. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.959 What are your thoughts as you get ready to go 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:10.840 up against them? 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.240 Man, I'm excited for it, man, just to see like 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.640 a bunch of old faces. Me and Pat still got 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.280 a relationship, Me and Kelsey still got a relationship, and 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.400 I kind of got a sneaky celebration that I plan 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.600 on doing against him. It's gonna be fun and may 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.720 piss them off a little bit. But part of the 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.920 game though, I turn into like a little roadway model. 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:31.880 Whenever you feel me, I get to do whatever I 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:32.200 want to. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:36.480 So fired up for this game. You can catch the 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.320 full Tyreek interview with IRV on game day kickoff Sunday 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.400 at seven am. Eastern Chiefs and Dolphins currently top two 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.840 seeds in the AFC. Who wins the matchup in Frankfort, Cynthia. 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.040 The Chiefs win the matchup in Frankfurt twenty seven to 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.640 twenty five, a high scoring but just two point victory 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.200 for the Chiefs. Why because of intermediate passes of course, 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.040 to their rookie standout receiver who has played the most 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.600 snaps in terms of receivers on the team at sixty 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:04.560 six point seven. 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:05.640 That's for she Rice. 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.400 He's also averaged two point six yards per route run, 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.720 which ranks second among rookies only to Puka Nukua. The 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.280 point that I'm trying to make is that the deep passes, 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.320 especially with Jalen Ramsey back, could be not an area 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.400 of strength. That hasn't really been their strength this season. However, 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:25.240 intermediate passes, those ten to nineteen air yard passes, those 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:26.920 are the ones you want to look out for and 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.560 what's going to bolster this team. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.160 Look, I've got the exact same score as you, Cynthia 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.000 twenty seven twenty twis, but I have a different winner. 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.960 I have the Dolphins on point at sick. I feel 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.480 sick to my stomach picking against Patrick Mahomes. That we've 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.440 done this show for five years. It never goes well 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.040 picking against Patrick Patrick Mahomes, especially when Cynthia has But 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.640 there's a different Dolphins defense with Jalen Ramsey back at cornerback. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.239 He looked fantastic last week. You know who else is 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.160 returning this week, Savian Howard, I believe is going to 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:57.880 play in this game. I know he's questable, but he's 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.640 out there practicing Nick need him. Their corner in the 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.880 slot also might be returning, but the way Ramsey played, 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.639 in the way Jalen Phillips has added some juice. He's 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.960 now healthy. Bradley Chubb's playing really well. I see Patrick 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.000 Mahomes sitting back there, Patrick, and he has all the 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.239 time in the world. He's getting protected and he doesn't 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.519 know what to do. He's just holding the ball. Nobody's open. 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.000 I've never seen a Patrick Mahomes like this. It's got 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:21.440 me shook. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:23.000 Go ahead. 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.120 I just want to point out you're not wearing your 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:26.080 bomber jackets today. 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.160 I don't know if I can take you someth. 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.880 You know, I'm a man of many talents. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:34.399 The Jets Giants result just has greg all this really does. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.560 I don't think either of the quarterbacks are going to 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.280 be very askew in this one. I have a high 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.080 scoring game. Our scores are all basically the same minus 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.640 twenty seven to twenty five Dolphins in this one. Because, 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.280 of course, Patrick Mahomes one of the greatest football players 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.520 that we've seen in the past fifteen years. He's very good. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:55.040 Tyreek Hill is playing to a level that nobody else. 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.720 He's playing even better. I would make the argument than 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.000 aj Brown is right now he has one game this season, 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.080 or he didn't score a touchdown, already over a thousand 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.680 yards receiving. This is coming into week nine. I mean, 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.360 we can't declare who's gonna win the game. But the 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.080 people who have said, oh, the Dolphins haven't played anybody. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.520 This is in college football, like they're playing professionals. I 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:16.680 think they're a very good team and they have a 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:17.360 chance when this game. 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:18.800 You guys are giving me a prime number. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.640 Okay, Dan Patrick, do the I got the Chiefs. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.760 I get the Chiefs, and by myself, this is where 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:29.280 I make up the game on Greg, Let's go the dance. 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:30.360 Will either work out in your. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.599 Favor or or listen. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.480 No one's going to argue that taking a prime number 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.360 on Patrick Mahomes is not a really sound strategy, even 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:39.960 if I weren't picking with a model, if I were 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:44.520 picking just based on like how to strategically get ahead 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:44.840 of you. 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:46.240 This is this is it. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.520 I feel great about that. We will be texting you 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.120 nine thirty am on the West Coast when the Dolphins 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:51.719 win this game. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.200 Not the only big game we got match up between 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.039 the Cowboys and the Eagles, fair to say, one of 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.440 the best rivalries in all the sports. The Eagles sit 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.640 a top the East at seven to one, but Dallas 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.719 is right there at five and two. Dallas was all 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.760 over the Rams last week the Birds scratched by the Commanders. Greg, 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:08.000 how do you see this game playing? 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.760 I have the Eagles winning thirty to twenty eight, so 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.320 it's a three point expectation. The Cowboys thread that needle. 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.520 I'm not confident because the Cowboys have the better defense. Clearly, 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.040 the Eagles defense has been a little too close to average, 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.719 and both of these quarterbacks are playing well. So my 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.839 strongest feeling is we got scores. We got a score fit. 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.159 Dak Prescott and Jalen Hurts are both playing so well 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.240 from the pocket right now. Dak has played basically two 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.640 perfect games in a row, and Jalen Hurts, who is 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.760 just a little up and down to start the year, 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.039 is now making great decisions from the pocket, and so 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.039 I just think we're gonna see great quarterback play. I 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.160 love that Dak is running more than he used to, 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.920 and Jalen Hurts, even when he doesn't run, is making 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.880 better decisions again from the pocket. So the Cowboys defense 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.520 beats up on bad opponents. The Eagles are not a 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:56.120 bad opponent. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.760 Okay, well I have the same winner, but I have 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.520 four points, so I guess I'm on the other side 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:04.080 of it. Twenty six to twenty two. Philadelphia wins this game. 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.680 For me, I do want to show Cowboys fans a 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.760 lot of highlights of Ceedee Lamb because last year Ceedee 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.400 Lamb torched this team. And part of the reason for 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.040 that was because the middle, the middle of their defense, 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.919 the spine of their defense, is not an area that 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.040 they invested a lot of money in. Oh contrere that 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.839 is now different. Kevin Bayard is there, Okay, that is 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.919 going to make a significant difference at the safety position. 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.240 So when I'm looking at Ceedee Lamb, who, by the way, 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.560 we saw him line up outside last week, which was 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.840 pretty cool and also one of the reasons why Dak 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.640 has been so effective this season, shorter passes, quicker passes, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:38.719 Ceedee Lamb being. 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.080 All over the formation. That's been helpful. 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.520 But Kevin Bayard in this one means Birds have a 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.440 significantly increased middle of their defense. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.360 I am going to take the Birds as well. Also, 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.839 similar to the Greg, I have the threading the needle 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.880 at one point Wino for the Philadelphia Eagles on the 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.240 wings of an Eagle that's again playing some of the 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.440 best football in the NFL right now, and that's AJ Brown. 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:06.240 Dallas plays a ton of man only trailing Wake Martindale 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.279 and the New York Giants. These are AJ Brown catches 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.400 from the fourth quarter. All of these catches are in 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.320 crucial game situations and aj has delivered time after time 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.160 after time this season. I think that it's a late 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.560 play by AJ Brown that gives the Birds again a 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.160 one point win over the Dallas Cowboys. 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:29.040 So mem away, I don't felt about this one. We're 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:30.400 all a big game. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.160 Philadelphia Eagles. We got a big playoff rematch Sunday night, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.800 the Bills and the Bengals. These teams met last year 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.640 in the Divisional round where Joe Burrow carved up the 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.600 Bills in the snow. Joe Cool threw for two forty 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.160 two and two touchdowns since he went on to win 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.560 it twenty seven to ten. After a slow start to 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.239 the season of Bengals doing the thing that they've typically 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.800 done these past few years, they just rip off wins 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.920 three straight. The matchoffs could be a playoff preview. But 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:58.160 what do you see happening? Greg? 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:00.720 I like the Bills in this game. I went back 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.880 and forth. They had the Bengals that person, I flipped it. 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:04.760 I liked what I saw to Josh Allen and the 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.680 Buffalo Bills last week against Tampa. It was a totally 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.920 different offense. It was a lot of hurry up and 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.360 it was a lot of Josh Allen running the ball. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.800 To me, they are better off when Josh Allen takes 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.560 that governor off and he runs, But they also are 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.160 better off when they're playing really fast. They were getting 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.640 up to the line of scrimmage. It allowed the rest 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:27.720 of their weapons, like Dalton Kincaid, like Gabe Davis, like 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:32.000 your boy Khalil Shakir, like the entire Bills attack was unlocked. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.240 And no, it was against the Bucks, but there was 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.520 something about this week that everyone's just like, well, the 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:41.160 Bengals owned the Bills, and the Bengals now they're back, 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.200 And I just didn't like that. And I think the 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.920 Bills are kind of like a team that's been at 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.840 the top for so long. They get up for these 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.240 big games. They only feel alive when they're in one 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.080 of these big games. I think they're gonna play their best. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.160 I mean, I love it we're aligned. I love it 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.040 when we have the same margin. I too have a 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.360 one point win, a slightly lower scoring game projected for me, 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.560 then for Grant, twenty four to twenty three is my 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.800 final score. But I do want to talk about Joe 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.720 Mixon because one of the areas where. 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.480 The Bengals were like, hey watch that Bills defense. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.280 You can run all over them. Joe Mixon, he's back, 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:12.040 he saw. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.400 Al what he did against you. My voice, no, I 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.240 those are more other. 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.640 Fans talking to each other. The fans you were talking to. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.600 Were they're talking to the fans? I'm Uphis, Yeah exactly. 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.240 But you know who's there now, Linval Joseph. You know 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.880 where he was before, probably on his couch, like doing 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.959 so working out, getting a good getting a good lift in, 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.200 you know all those things. But that's going to help 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.520 shore up that middle now that Daikwon Jones is not there, 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.680 which was a huge loss for the Bills. I'm not 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.680 suggesting Lynnval Joseph is going to make up for that, 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.800 but between him and Russell Douglass becoming a part of 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:46.800 this team, this defense is not as injured as. 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.680 The one that we saw even against Tampa Bay. 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.400 Well, I will prevent you guys from being concerned about 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.200 a meme alert here because I will take the Cincinnati 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.040 Bengals that they've been playing such good football. The Bengals 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.000 defense has given up more than twenty points since Week four. 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.880 They held Gino in company to thirteen points in pay court. 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.520 Look what they did against Brock Perdy, forcing turnovers in 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.760 crucial situations. We've seen this defense deliver late into the 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.640 regular season and into the postseason. I think they have 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.319 an opportunity at home if I could take a stray 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.400 bond with the Bengals at home in a big game. 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.600 The way Joe Burrow's playing right now, the way Jamar 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.760 Chase is playing right now, do it. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:24.400 It's a fair point. 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:25.560 I'll take it. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:26.200 It's a fair point. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:27.960 I mean, there's only three of us. One of us 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.280 is bound to get a stray bon or prime number 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.840 here in these good games for just Greg Well. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.680 Greg has done the math on that, so let's do 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.319 some more math, Cynthia Well. Joe Burrow, who again has 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.640 been in fuego lately, throw two touchdown passes Sunday night. 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.200 That feels like a yes. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.400 Why well, when I'm looking at Joe Burrow's opportunities, I 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.280 mean Jamar Chase and t Higgins are both and by 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.760 the way, Tyler Boyd's been stepping up as well. There 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.640 are missing pieces to this secondary. I told you Rusul 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.240 Douglas is back. However, they have been pretty targetable there 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.480 on the back end of that Bill's defense. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.480 All right, don't look now, folks. Gino and the Seahawks 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.840 are in first place and they're going to the Charms 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.400 City to face off against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.040 It's a battle of the Birds. Our picks for that 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:26.720 game coming up next right here on game debut, it's 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.800 time for the Drive to Excellence presented by Mercedes Bins. 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.880 After a few losses by the forty nine Ers, the 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.640 Seahawks now atop the NFC West at five and two, 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:36.760 coming all the way over to Baltimore to take on 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.360 Lamar in company where the Ravens have won three straight. Cynthia, 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:41.720 what do you see taking place here? 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.680 I was actually a little surprised at my model on this, 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.959 but I have Baltimore winning by just two points. 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.400 Twenty three to twenty one is the. 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.640 Note that I have, and part of it was because 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.080 the Seahawks still have some things to figure out in 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.320 terms of their red zone offense. The first drive and 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.720 the last drive of last game against the Brown were 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.560 really masterclasses in how to run an offense, especially this offense. 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.520 But in between they faltered and it was a little 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.840 strange when you go back to watch, like just things 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.920 weren't working. The adjustments took maybe two three plays more 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.000 than you might like to see. So when I'm looking 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.640 at the defense and what the Ravens are able to do, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.240 especially if you kind of can't get the run game going, 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.440 which is where the Ravens have been excellent, that means 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.160 you're really gonna not want to have red zone offense faltery. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.720 So two point win, I was surprised, So I thought 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.920 maybe the Seahawks. My model loves the Seahawks, so I 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:34.640 was surprised that. 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.600 Well, even having at two points means it's close. And 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.760 you told us your model said this was the third 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:39.720 most likely. 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.679 Sit Super Bowl and I love that. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.240 Yeah, and it's buried in our B block. I mean, 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.360 give some respect to this game. This game would be 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.600 the game of the week most weeks. Lamar Gino I 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.280 love it. I love the Ravens defense more than the 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.040 Seahawks defense right now, so I'm going Ravens. I'm having 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.280 them win twenty seven to twenty three, so I have 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.760 it closer than five and a half. As well. The 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.679 Ravens lead the NFL in sacks, and they don't really 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.520 have any great pass rushers, but it's a group that's 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.240 limiting opposing quarterbacks to five point yard five point four 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.079 yards per attempt. That's half a yard better than the 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.880 rest of the league. They make quarterbacks have to make 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.640 really quick decisions, and Gino Smith in the offseason decided 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.319 I'm not going to take as many sacks. I'm not 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.880 going to hold onto the ball as long, so he's 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.000 getting rid of the ball more quickly. But those quick 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.640 decisions sometimes have given the opponents a chance to make 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.319 a big play. I think this week the Ravens just 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.480 limit Gino a little better than the Seahawks can limit Lamar. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.839 I also agree you can go ahead and mimas the 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.400 Baltimore Ravens win this game's May twenty five to nineteen, 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.840 because they've been so good in between the twenties, and 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.720 the Seahawks are allowing a touchdown on seventy three percent 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.360 of the possessions that get into the red zone. Guess 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.880 who that works out for. It is one man in 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.840 Gus Edwards, who's playing very good football right now. They 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.360 do tackle well on the edges, So shout out to 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.960 Devin Withers. He's having a great rookie season. But the 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.520 Ravens playing too well right now. I've got them winning 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:09.320 this game as well. Mima way, we're taking Baltimore. Moving 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.480 on to the Raiders. Earlier in the week, they fired 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.320 head coach Josh McDaniels, general manager Dave Zigler, offensive coordinator 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.560 Mick Lombardi. McDaniels had a nine and sixteen record in 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.880 his one and a half seasons with the team. The 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:25.120 linebackers coach Antonio Pierce now named the interim head coach. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.680 As we get into the fact that they're playing host 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.840 of the Giants on Sunday, Aidan O'Connell is set to 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.160 start for Las Vegas at quarterback. Daniel Jones expected to 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.880 play for the g Men. Considering everything that's going on, 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.040 it's been hard to put our fingers on Las Vegas 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:40.240 how to feel about this game. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:41.720 Gird, I mean, I didn't know how to feel about it. 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.960 This game is a little bit of a mess. And 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:45.840 then I watched this video. 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.600 The short story, the matter of fact is, I grew 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.680 up in Compton, California. I was born a Raider. I 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.760 was born with the Raiders rolling in the coliseum in 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.880 LA I was rolling with NWA talkers straight out of 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:03.080 Compton Raider hats. So an opportunity came to work with 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.080 Josh and Pat Graham and Dave, I jumped on it. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.400 So that's what set me up for this. I was 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:09.040 born this way. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:13.680 Woo, I mean born this way. It's over. That was 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.000 the moment I said, Oh, Raiders win this game. I 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:17.920 don't need to see anymore. I don't care that Aidan 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:21.000 O'Connell's only starting his second game. What he can play 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.560 worse than Daniel Jones has this year for the Giants. No, 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.120 let's go Raiders plus the Giants. You hurt me last week, 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:28.720 and I don't forgive you for that. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.000 Well you may not forgive them, but the math has 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.200 the Giants with a one point edge nineteen to eighteen 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.720 for me because of Aidan O'Connell. You do typically and 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.680 mathematically see a little bit of a bump when a 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.040 team fires a head coach. However, this is a little 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.880 bit early and the fact that the quarterback changes. If 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:48.960 they would have Jimmy Grahmt would be different. But I 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.640 do want to talk about Antonio Peers. I feel very 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.520 fortunate to have kind of gotten to know him because 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.000 my good friend Matthias q and Uka was on that 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.280 defensive team with him. And if you're looking at a 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.880 guy who people do want to run through the wall for, 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.640 like Devanta Adams said, it actually is him. It's ironic 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.800 though that this start comes against his former team, and 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.720 that is pretty funny, right. He gets to start as 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.480 a head coach against the team that he won a 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.040 super Bowl Like, that's kind of poetic, right, And he's 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.720 worked his way up. He's you know, it's not like 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.080 last year where we saw someone come from TV into 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.200 the coaching ranks. He's really done the actual work on 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.360 the ground to be that player coach. 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:33.160 And it's a spectacular story coming again being born a Raider, 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.160 as he says, now he gets the coach her first 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.000 career game against the team that he won a Super 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.880 Bowl for. I kind of agree with the model. We 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:44.040 have a one point difference, though, nineteen seventeen with the 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.320 Giants winning in this one because I don't know who 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.440 the Raiders are going to be again. Congratulations to Odeo Pierce. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.480 The Raiders defense struggled to tackle Jamiir Gibbs. The week 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.400 before that, they struggled to tackle deontaey Forman, and now 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.840 they have a fully operational Giants backfield. Say Kwon Barkley 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.160 ran for one hundred and twenty eight yards basically against 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:07.280 the Magino line. There was no hope with Tommy DeVito 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.480 at quarterback playing against the Jets. Saquan goes for that 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.400 huge number thirty six carries, and now Dimes is back, 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.200 I think, with an opportunity to be healthy. Maybe after 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:19.840 watching Tyrod orchestrate this offense better than he has the 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.320 entire season, the Giants play a little better against the 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.320 Raiders team. That's figuring things. 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:24.560 Well. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.120 You know who was the only one who picked the 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.719 Raiders against the Broncos in Week one or the Raiders 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.280 against the Packers on Monday Night. It was Jess greg 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.800 and they came through for me. Let's go all. 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.400 Right, Silver and Black's that coret coming up. The Jets 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.000 have more magic up their sleeve than gand off the 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.879 great they've won three straight, but Ken, Justin Herbert and 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.760 the Bolts simply walk into MetLife and walk out with 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:46.040 a win. 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:57.119 That's next. 0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.920 Chargers take on the Jets on Monday night, Gang Green 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.800 coming off that miracle win last week against the Giants, 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.040 they've now won three in a row primetime game. How 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:07.080 do you see it going something? 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.560 I think that the Jets win again in this matchup. 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.280 It's very interesting to me to call for an upset, 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.760 but twenty two to twenty one is the final score 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:18.879 that the model came up with. Greg was trying to 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.560 accuse me of, you know, knowing to it what. I 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.439 just think I know more about the Jets than this anyways. 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.440 I mean, you've worked for them. I'm just yes. 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:26.360 But that's a good thing. 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:30.000
