Speaker 1: NFL Game Debut is a production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with I Heart Radio. Game Debut presented by Mercedes
Speaker 1: Benz is back, and we are almost halfway through the season.
Speaker 1: We had so many mental areas and mistakes. Speaking, we're
Speaker 1: doing great and so are the Eagles. Looking to stay
Speaker 1: on beating against the Steelers and the Jets going for
Speaker 1: five in a row against whoever playing quarterback for the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Guys who are making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing.
Speaker 1: Is he talking about Matt Jones or Billy's Anny and
Speaker 1: maybe guys who aren't playing like Sam Ellinger in Indy.
Speaker 1: He is making his first start against the Commanders and
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Packers, Bill surtday night. When the players really
Speaker 1: take old, you're going to see the possibility of us
Speaker 1: making a run. Does anyone know what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Sydia my the only one hearing this game debut starts
Speaker 1: right now. Everybody, welcome to game debut. Something that you
Speaker 1: don't know about me, Richel, But as they just walk
Speaker 1: around hearing Aaron Rodgers in my head at all times,
Speaker 1: Gregs knows that happened to you? That sounds like a
Speaker 1: terrible existence. Oh that's not so bad. Old times is
Speaker 1: some fun, weird things. Braylan Patrick Clay, guys, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys are keeping track, but things are
Speaker 1: getting tight in the picks contest. Oh it took me
Speaker 1: I've wasted to get hip, but I'm that baby. Patrick
Speaker 1: still wears the crown with Greg and Cynthia right behind,
Speaker 1: and then yeah, I'm in last. It's never been closer.
Speaker 1: But as Aaron Rodgers said, like when people aren't performing,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to need to be benched. That cut
Speaker 1: you're cutting me, according to Aaron Rodgers is Aaron take
Speaker 1: it back? Okay, a game. I think we're all probably
Speaker 1: an agreement on Bill's Packers. This is not a mistake.
Speaker 1: The words I'm about to say are correct. The Packers
Speaker 1: are a ten and a half point underdog. Okay, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers is a ten and a half point under rock.
Speaker 1: And you just say that again. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: ever happened to him in his life ever, or a
Speaker 1: double digit underdog. Greg surely he covers that purely. I
Speaker 1: don't think he does. I think it's gonna be more
Speaker 1: likely it's a big Bills victory. I have him thirty
Speaker 1: four to twenty over the Packers. I don't think the
Speaker 1: Packers offense has enough answers to take care of things here.
Speaker 1: Matt Milano, I know he doesn't get talked about a
Speaker 1: lot of the Buffalo Bills as a linebacker is a
Speaker 1: running back stopper running back in tight ends. He gets
Speaker 1: out on the edge. He makes sure they don't get good,
Speaker 1: big place to the outside. He shuts them down in
Speaker 1: the passing game. Why that's so important this week? Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones is really the only offensive player that Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: trust that I trust. Alan Lazard is not playing in
Speaker 1: this game. If you shut down Aaron Jones, I think
Speaker 1: you shut down the Packers offense. And I think Matt
Speaker 1: Milano is shutting down Aaron Jones. Cynthia, do you have
Speaker 1: a big win here? I have a ten point win here,
Speaker 1: which is pretty big. Twenty nine to nineteen is the
Speaker 1: final score per the model. When I'm looking at this,
Speaker 1: it's kind of feeding off of what you said. Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: Let's give him his just due. In fifty two point
Speaker 1: eight percent of his rushes, he exceeds at spectations. That
Speaker 1: is a very fun number, meaning that a normal running
Speaker 1: back would run for X number of yards? Will he
Speaker 1: runs for more than that on over half of place
Speaker 1: most in the NFL with the Bills, they stop runs
Speaker 1: the best by a wide margin, partly because of Matt Milanna.
Speaker 1: More about Boston College, Matt Milano. You know, we like
Speaker 1: to get that in here, but realistically, it's all about
Speaker 1: that run defense and stopping Aaron Jones, because that's really
Speaker 1: all that we have seen. Aaron Rodgers. His yards per
Speaker 1: attempt and his time to throw both down this season considerably.
Speaker 1: I don't love this old line. So it seems like
Speaker 1: it's that this is now. Aaron Rodgers is gonna throw
Speaker 1: for like four hundred yards and five touchdowns and seen
Speaker 1: that this year now. But honestly, you guys have a
Speaker 1: positive view of the game. You've got them more than
Speaker 1: their current output in terms of points per game, where
Speaker 1: they're in the eighteen point per game range. And honestly,
Speaker 1: I was surprised to find out that this team is
Speaker 1: has only committed nine turnovers considering how bad the offense
Speaker 1: has been throughout this season. It is Aaron Rodgers. He
Speaker 1: has taken care of the ball. Still, maybe takes some
Speaker 1: risks twelve take a few more do something. I do
Speaker 1: think ten and a half points is far too much,
Speaker 1: but that that's about it. I was trying to discuss
Speaker 1: with my wife, Hey, what reason can I say that
Speaker 1: they'll do better than ten and a half points? And
Speaker 1: she's like, well, maybe the weather, low pressure, who knows,
Speaker 1: But yeah, tend and have points is too much. But
Speaker 1: I just haven't seen enough to feel confident in the
Speaker 1: packers of this game. I'm going bills across the board, obviously,
Speaker 1: and I have them by I think eleven points thirty
Speaker 1: one to twenty. Listen, we were hearing them in this
Speaker 1: intro of Aaron Rodgers talking about his teammates. That's not
Speaker 1: a good vibe. We do a vibe check on the
Speaker 1: show often, Bill's great vibe, packers terrible vibes. Right now,
Speaker 1: he's talking about his offensive weapons. He's like, some of
Speaker 1: these guys shouldn't be playing like as an offensive weapon.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be stoked to hear that? Absolutely not.
Speaker 1: Maybe they need to play a little more call of duty.
Speaker 1: Maybe they need more call of duty in their lives.
Speaker 1: They need something other than Aaron Rodgers just talking trash
Speaker 1: all the time? Okay, is Giants Seahawks a revenge game. Okay,
Speaker 1: hear me out. Remember five years ago, I take you back.
Speaker 1: Eli Manning had started two second games until the one
Speaker 1: and only Ben McAdoo called on Greg Gene. No, he
Speaker 1: was a believer before Greg was didn't play poorly, but
Speaker 1: the Giants lost. Eli was back next week. Real weird situation, Okay,
Speaker 1: But like I said, could be a little bit of
Speaker 1: a revenge factor in here, or at least we're going
Speaker 1: to pretend there is Cynthia. You haven't picked the Seahawks
Speaker 1: all season, people, that's fild I didn't actually even know
Speaker 1: that you won four times? Does that change this week?
Speaker 1: Have you convinced the model? Well, let me look, Nope,
Speaker 1: I'll change this week. I actually have the Giants winning
Speaker 1: this game. I have twenty four too, so not an
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly convincing win, but I still think that the Giants
Speaker 1: edge them out. When I'm looking to see what Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones does with se Kwan Barkley, it's really interesting because
Speaker 1: those two are both in the top twenty in rushing
Speaker 1: yards overexpected because the opportunity for both of them on
Speaker 1: the field creates a mismatch against defenses. Obviously, the Seahawks
Speaker 1: have two great corners, they're young, they're really interesting to
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, great names, fun to say. Let's throw out
Speaker 1: between the hashes, the middle of the fields where Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones has been successful when he has gotten the ball
Speaker 1: out of his hands. So that all taken together means
Speaker 1: advantage Giants. I heard that all and I just heard
Speaker 1: hater come after twelve? Now what am I doing? I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: Thank you for inciting that. They will they recognize this
Speaker 1: is the sweet and innocent version. Maybe maybe not. Things
Speaker 1: go wrong once Rachel gets to her. I consent that
Speaker 1: you mentioned Toquilla and Kobe Bryant. Also, let's throw boy
Speaker 1: Afe into this as well. This is a team that's
Speaker 1: starting a whole bunch of rookies, especially on defense, and
Speaker 1: we saw the start of the season the results weren't
Speaker 1: so great. But take a look at what the Seahawks
Speaker 1: defense has done recently, especially considering they held the Chargers
Speaker 1: under a hundred yards rushing. That was the well, that's
Speaker 1: the thing. That's the thing. People improve, they get better,
Speaker 1: and this defense has gotten better. And that's why I
Speaker 1: don't think the Giants are gonna crest twenty one points.
Speaker 1: I think Gino and company, who I believe. Stop that
Speaker 1: and the shriek is over. The Seahawks will eventually be
Speaker 1: picked by Okay, so the Seahawks have the best quarterback
Speaker 1: in this game. We can all agree they also might
Speaker 1: have the best running game in this game. Kenneth Walker
Speaker 1: is playing that well right now. I'm not saying he's
Speaker 1: better than se Kwon Barkley, but he has a better matchup.
Speaker 1: I talked last week, how do you attack this blitz
Speaker 1: heavy Giants defense? You run straight through those blitz is.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars did that well, but they didn't throw it
Speaker 1: well enough. Kenneth Walker can bust off big runs. He's
Speaker 1: second among running backs in the league at six point
Speaker 1: one yards per carry. You know what defense is the
Speaker 1: very worst in the NFL giving up yards per carry.
Speaker 1: It's the Giants. I know they've overcome it. They're not
Speaker 1: going to overcome it this week. And Rachel, you've mentioned
Speaker 1: Ben McAdoo believed in Gino even before me. That's not true.
Speaker 1: I wrote a whole article about it. You can check up.
Speaker 1: It's still up there. I love that, guys. I'm disappointed
Speaker 1: I spent too much time with Cynthia this week. I
Speaker 1: was all on the Seahawks. She came on my podcast
Speaker 1: the other day bench within that make sure you listen,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Seahawks, you know, defense is improving,
Speaker 1: DA and she just made some valid points and unfortunately
Speaker 1: pull up my score. Look what I did? Look what
Speaker 1: I did? I saidcombed to the Cynthia pressure. I've got
Speaker 1: the giants. Now we's done it. I like that. I
Speaker 1: like it when we're split. It's twenty four, I will say, Okay,
Speaker 1: there's lots of lots of things to be scared of
Speaker 1: this weekend. It's Halloween weekend. I don't know what Greg's
Speaker 1: going to show up as, but I'm sure it's gonna
Speaker 1: be weird and frightening. You know, it's really scary. Take
Speaker 1: one Barkley against that rushing defense. I know that they've improved,
Speaker 1: but they're still almost the worst rushing defense in the
Speaker 1: league in Seahawks. What are you think going to be
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be, uh like a small adult that people
Speaker 1: confuse for a child when they bring their children into
Speaker 1: the door. Isn't know what happens Toona mac Jones is back,
Speaker 1: which is good, right right? Good? Pats on the other
Speaker 1: side of the break, Oh, I look forward to this
Speaker 1: one every time it goes down. Niners RAM San Francisco
Speaker 1: has won seven straight regular season games against the Rams.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they are doing it. They're slightly
Speaker 1: favorite against l A in so FI BT Dubs, Cynthia.
Speaker 1: Who do you like in this one? I, even though
Speaker 1: I don't like the injury report, I still like the
Speaker 1: Niners in this matchup. I only have a two point
Speaker 1: when in this one, though, twenty two to twenty is
Speaker 1: my final score when I'm looking at this one. It
Speaker 1: all comes down to that old line and Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: He's not just been under pressure, He's been under the
Speaker 1: bad kind of pressure. Like when I'm looking at this matchup.
Speaker 1: Apart from like Cooper Cup, I'm not even playing fantasy
Speaker 1: players in this one. I don't know what's going on Monday. No,
Speaker 1: no debo. That's a big deal. No, because a deep
Speaker 1: But I'm not on the Ram side other than Cooper Cup. Nope, No,
Speaker 1: I don't put it as the Rams like to figure
Speaker 1: things out. They did just have their bye week. Yet
Speaker 1: I'm picking the forty Niners too. I just can't trust
Speaker 1: uh Sean McVeigh in this matchup. Those regular season games
Speaker 1: means something. It doesn't work for them. I think what
Speaker 1: they need to do for the Rams is go back
Speaker 1: to Stafford under center. Before the bye week, you saw
Speaker 1: him playing against the Panthers a little differently than they
Speaker 1: had played for most of the season. They've started to
Speaker 1: simplify things. I know that's a dirty word, that's what
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers started to say, but it was a little
Speaker 1: more of the Jared goff Ram's offense, where it's play
Speaker 1: action and your backs to the defense, and you simplify
Speaker 1: it for your offensive line too. You get your center
Speaker 1: back because the whole Stafford just figures it out. When
Speaker 1: he's in shotgun that's not working. He's not throwing the
Speaker 1: ball well even when they are protected. I just trust
Speaker 1: the Rams have less talent. Like it's weird to say
Speaker 1: that you think of them as this crazy talented I know,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying it's crazy to say that, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I know they get Van Jefferson back, But defensively, offensively,
Speaker 1: I think the forty Niners have more players ultimately and
Speaker 1: they win. They do, and getting Van Jefferson back, I
Speaker 1: think is huge. When you come into the game in
Speaker 1: the season with Matt Stafford having that injury. I also
Speaker 1: think that's huge and as you mentioned, Greg rest helps,
Speaker 1: doing high knees doesn't necessarily heal things. But Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson both got shots in this game. I
Speaker 1: didn't do it big target big shots that they happen.
Speaker 1: But honestly, I am picking the Rams in this game
Speaker 1: and the reason I am starting fantasy wise Allen Robinson
Speaker 1: because the time off. In the time away, Cynthia mentioned
Speaker 1: the law of Joe note Boom for the remainder of
Speaker 1: the season, I think perhaps things get paired down a
Speaker 1: little bit more where you're not trying to do all
Speaker 1: of the things that clearly Joe not Boom was having
Speaker 1: trouble doing. Our health or not, this offense gets a
Speaker 1: knittle more simple things get back to the basics and
Speaker 1: no debot. I don't see looking back. He's got almost
Speaker 1: seven yards in his career against this one team. I
Speaker 1: just have trouble imagining this team doing a whole lot
Speaker 1: of things considering the recent games that have been played
Speaker 1: between these two. Well, it is officially a stray bon.
Speaker 1: You are going so low, no low, I have the
Speaker 1: fourty niners as listen, I know things change and players
Speaker 1: change and everything, but the fourty niners being seven and
Speaker 1: oh against the Rams in the regular season, you've got
Speaker 1: to kind of pay attention to that. Like he's I
Speaker 1: know that the two Shanahan and McVeigh, they're like best buds.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't figured something out and like gotten in mcveigh's head
Speaker 1: that he just cannot figure it out in the regular season.
Speaker 1: I don't think that we should ignore that. I think
Speaker 1: that it's going to happen. And then Christian McCaffrey is added.
Speaker 1: I know last week we were expecting some big things
Speaker 1: from him and didn't really happen. I hope that he
Speaker 1: snaps this week and put some some points on the board.
Speaker 1: Speaking of let's do the math like that little Seguae Cynthia,
Speaker 1: Christian McAffrey had a season high a hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: eight yards from scrimmage when he was with the Panthers
Speaker 1: earlier this season. Will he get into the end zone
Speaker 1: through the air and ground both pulling double duty? Well,
Speaker 1: it did get better with no Deebo Samuel playing the
Speaker 1: chances for both. I think one will happen. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's averaging four point nine yards per rush outside the tackles.
Speaker 1: We know those outside runs or what Kyle Shanahan likes
Speaker 1: to cook up. That's a career high for Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: I think one on the ground is really a really
Speaker 1: nice opportunity to happen. But I don't know about both
Speaker 1: to ask. Sean McVeigh was asked about what do you
Speaker 1: think c mc getting out of the point Narrows had
Speaker 1: to bleep his answer, that's amazing, was like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: wearing my head band. San Francisco is the place. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, Well, some familiarity for McCaffrey against
Speaker 1: l A this week in a familiar face back under
Speaker 1: center for New England for the whole game, maybe the
Speaker 1: most popular man in New England. Bailey Zappy is Zappy manio,
Speaker 1: isn't it you toll? It's a low call? Why not?
Speaker 1: Would you call me? Bers? Who makes a twisting TV
Speaker 1: catch touchdown? Patriots girl screen perfect to catch twenty There
Speaker 1: he goes said, nobody's gonna touch them hend zone touchdown
Speaker 1: bears so interesting, up embarrassing. The fans knew they were
Speaker 1: losing that game, right, Okay, Well, sorry, Bailey Zappy, it's
Speaker 1: Mac Jones on Sunday. Actually until it's until it's not.
Speaker 1: Patriots have won twelve in a row against the Jets. Patrick,
Speaker 1: you are first, what are you thinking, Oh, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: that it's not only just embarrassing, but it's it's like
Speaker 1: the people in uh Pompei chanting for Mount Vesuvious and
Speaker 1: the just clothes. And then I think not Jones clearly
Speaker 1: the choice. And that's a part of the reason, because
Speaker 1: I do think Mac Jones has a bounce back game.
Speaker 1: But I'm looking at this Patriots defense the way that
Speaker 1: they have made plays, excluding this past Monday Night, but
Speaker 1: they still even made plays against Dustin Fields on Monday Night,
Speaker 1: especially the rookie corner. I gotta pick six off of
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Just the way things have gone in the
Speaker 1: past few weeks for Zach Wilson. I don't see the
Speaker 1: Jets offense having enough to contend even at home, even
Speaker 1: as well as they've been playing. I've got the Patriots here. Interesting, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got the Patriots winning almost the exact same score
Speaker 1: because they have the better quarterback. Patriots, what are we
Speaker 1: doing here? You're embarrassing yourself. Mac Jones did things last here.
Speaker 1: He was the number twelve ranked quarterback in the entire
Speaker 1: league according to PFF. He made the Pro Bowl and
Speaker 1: did the gritty there. He was accurate, he went through
Speaker 1: his reads. You don't think the Jets would trade Zack
Speaker 1: Wilson for Mac Jones right now. This is the guy
Speaker 1: who has the higher ceiling. It's the guy who I
Speaker 1: think can do more to this Jets defense. Even though
Speaker 1: they have a good pass rush in a great secondary.
Speaker 1: They have better weapons in New England this year than
Speaker 1: they did a year ago. For Mac Jones, and I
Speaker 1: think he's the guy long term, and I think he's
Speaker 1: going to be the guy this week. You're not attend, no, like,
Speaker 1: what what are we doing to it? Well? I have
Speaker 1: the Jets winning, so twenty one to twenty is my
Speaker 1: final score. And whenever I can work in special teams,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work in special teams because the Jets have
Speaker 1: the best special teams in the National Football League. You
Speaker 1: heard that, right, Usually say that about the Patriots. That
Speaker 1: bothers Bill Belichick know what, don't. That's why I'm bringing
Speaker 1: up best gunner duo, fourth best starting field position. Thanks
Speaker 1: Braxton Burrios, You're crushing it. He has the highest yard
Speaker 1: return average, like this is an unsung hero of this
Speaker 1: Jets team. Yes, we don't have Reestall, which stinks, but
Speaker 1: it's going to be an interesting It's going to be
Speaker 1: an interesting matchup because, Sauce Garter, you're gonna let your
Speaker 1: guy Mac Jones or your guys and then comes I'm
Speaker 1: going with you because I'm for this one. St I'm
Speaker 1: feeling saucy as well. J E T s Jet, Jets, Jets.
Speaker 1: I'm going Jets twenty four New York New York teams
Speaker 1: in October right now we're eleven and oh I am
Speaker 1: not touching any other team right now. I'm going Jets.
Speaker 1: They're a fun team there on fire. Also talk about
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. Do you think that he's still young and impressionable?
Speaker 1: They're yelling zappy hour at him. I think he's going
Speaker 1: to be stuck to go out. Why it's good a
Speaker 1: few time and the works. I actually think it is.
Speaker 1: It is a better thing. They're away from Foxborough and
Speaker 1: those meat those means. Do you think that you think
Speaker 1: New York people are? There are guys here thirty thousand
Speaker 1: feet in the air. It's time to do some stretching,
Speaker 1: time to do some high knees Russell Wilson versus the
Speaker 1: Jags in London. We are talking about that doozy coming up.
Speaker 1: I am excited for Sunday. I'm getting him hearing me about.
Speaker 1: Think for a what are you gonna be? I can't
Speaker 1: tell you, guys, By the way Earth sitting down with
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. I mean, hannot wait. Two of the most
Speaker 1: electric personalities we've got. Cannot wait. Kirk Cousins. Who's taking
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals on Sunday? Greg, The Vikings are three
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. Can they hold off Arizona?
Speaker 1: I think they can't. I have them winning twenty four
Speaker 1: to twenty. I was trying to think, like, what's special
Speaker 1: about this team? The only thing they're really great at
Speaker 1: is field position. But we can't make a video of
Speaker 1: field position. So I'm gonna talk about their pass rush.
Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith and Dannell Hunter got it going right before
Speaker 1: there By now they were going up against a banged
Speaker 1: up offensive line. I've been watching these two guys all
Speaker 1: You're kind of waiting for them to really break out,
Speaker 1: and it happened against Miami. Guess what they're going up
Speaker 1: against a very banged up offensive line this week to
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are down at least three starters and their
Speaker 1: left tackle is also questionable for this game. And what
Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith showed against Miami is that he can beat
Speaker 1: up on your backups. And sometimes that's what the NFL
Speaker 1: is all about. Can you take advantage of a matchup
Speaker 1: when the other team doesn't have their best players And
Speaker 1: that's the Cardinals offensive line this week. I think the
Speaker 1: Vikings get it done because of their pass rush. I'm
Speaker 1: with you on the Vikings getting it done. I also
Speaker 1: want to point out they have their best player, just
Speaker 1: and Jefferson will be on the field. I have twenty
Speaker 1: seven to twenty three in this matchup, a four point
Speaker 1: when I love the opportunity Justin Jefferson wants to be
Speaker 1: the best receiver in the league. He wants the best numbers,
Speaker 1: he wants the most touchdowns. I love it. We need
Speaker 1: to see him gritty when you look at the matchup
Speaker 1: between pretty much anyone of their corners. We love Buddha Baker,
Speaker 1: We're gonna put an asterisk there, but apart from him,
Speaker 1: it is a mismatch by big, big, big proportions. When
Speaker 1: it comes to Justin Jefferson versus the rest of them,
Speaker 1: so I expect him to reach the ends of what
Speaker 1: are you looking at the same score twins, Patrick Moses.
Speaker 1: I also have the Minnesota Vikings. I do not have
Speaker 1: the same score because I like points. I like points,
Speaker 1: and I think we get a score fest here, mainly
Speaker 1: because I see the run game of the Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 1: and the progression this season even though they're playing a
Speaker 1: top ten rushing defense. In the Arizona Cardinals, I love
Speaker 1: the opportunity to have Dalvin Cook coming off of a
Speaker 1: bye he dealt with the shoulder injury earlier in the season.
Speaker 1: Cynthia already mentioned Justin Jefferson. Of course that's going to
Speaker 1: be the focus. Too much focus on Justin Jefferson will
Speaker 1: at leaves some opportunity for Dalvin Cook in the run game.
Speaker 1: I love this matchup. I am taking the bikes as well.
Speaker 1: Across the board. I have a name like Patrick six.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is the This has the vibes
Speaker 1: of something weird could happen. We actually saw like a
Speaker 1: pulse from the Cardinals. We saw Paul. They put some
Speaker 1: points up on the board. I can see. I'm not
Speaker 1: ready to trust them. I feel like they've been a
Speaker 1: mess otherwise this season, but de hoppit back Kyler Marie's
Speaker 1: certainly not messy when he's yelling at his coach. I
Speaker 1: mean feeling less like we could get in trouble here.
Speaker 1: This is the one where I think it could be weird.
Speaker 1: Want to you want to do it? Oh? I love
Speaker 1: that chaotic that's like for knows okay, not even anymore.
Speaker 1: There you go, Carnis fans, you can think is awesome. Okay,
Speaker 1: exclusive shot here Russell Wilson expensive four hours annoying all
Speaker 1: of his teammates on a trans atlantic flight. You know, um,
Speaker 1: do hig knees on an airplane next to me while
Speaker 1: I'm sleeping. You're spending the rest of the flight in
Speaker 1: an overhead bin. That's what's going to happen to you.
Speaker 1: Not a threat, just facts. I am way stronger than
Speaker 1: I look. Greg. Don't try me, Okay, Um, what do
Speaker 1: you like? I would like you try to put me
Speaker 1: in the overhead but I think, no problem. I think
Speaker 1: it's possible I can lift t pounds, No problem. I'm picking.
Speaker 1: I wish I picking the jags here. I haven't fifteen
Speaker 1: to twelve, which just feels like a London game type
Speaker 1: of score. I hope that's not the case. The London
Speaker 1: Jaguars fans is a real thing, actual, So it's all
Speaker 1: field goals either way. And I think Trevor Lawrence and
Speaker 1: Travis CTN are getting it going with their what's going
Speaker 1: on over there? What happened? Why share with the class teacher?
Speaker 1: The score is objectively funny because you're like, it's like
Speaker 1: there's always a lot of field goals in London. Don't
Speaker 1: check test by facts and you get a lot of
Speaker 1: field goals when you have a good running game that
Speaker 1: can't quite finish it off. That's what the Jaguars are
Speaker 1: right now. They're so close there. RPO game with Travis
Speaker 1: ETN and Trevor Lawrence is starting to get going. And
Speaker 1: I think you can run the ball on the Broncos.
Speaker 1: It's a really good defense. But it's easier to run
Speaker 1: on it on them than it is to pass on them,
Speaker 1: and you're using Trevor Lawrences athleticism and his movement skills.
Speaker 1: I think it's why they felt comfortable trading James Robinson
Speaker 1: because it's all about the r P. Oh, it's all
Speaker 1: about E t N. Maybe Trevor Lawrence. Even if he's
Speaker 1: not going to be the guy we thought he's gonna be,
Speaker 1: maybe he could be a bigger, more athletic toa that
Speaker 1: that would be fun. Just be a little more accurate. Okay,
Speaker 1: well I have twenty one to nineteen in favor of
Speaker 1: the Jags in this one. I want to talk about
Speaker 1: Travis e t N because he has one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixteen and that number means rushing yards over expected against
Speaker 1: a light box. So you know what's been going on
Speaker 1: with light boxes. That's what Austin Ekeler had success with,
Speaker 1: That's what BREECEE Hall had, Like there's a lot of
Speaker 1: examples of where the Broncos have been giving a light
Speaker 1: box to posing running backs and they just make most
Speaker 1: of it. So e t N. There's no James Robinson
Speaker 1: to share the load. You really want to play him
Speaker 1: in all formats of like a really fun daily Fantasy
Speaker 1: pick as well. So that's the difference maker for me.
Speaker 1: And I don't care for Ussel's back. We've seen that
Speaker 1: he's not or whatever. Mr Woman, it doesn't matter. I
Speaker 1: was laughing mainly at Greg's score because my score is
Speaker 1: also objectively funny because I have the Broncos winning the
Speaker 1: seventeen to sixteen I look back at Jerry Judy's last
Speaker 1: three games. He had seven targets, eight targets and then
Speaker 1: eleven targets. They are force feeding Jerry Judy, and simply
Speaker 1: based on the odds, I think Jerry Judy catches a
Speaker 1: long touchdown from Russell Wilson or from from Brett Rippon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Brett Rippon, He's rippon you right either unless he gets
Speaker 1: hurt one way or the other. It's it's just too difficult.
Speaker 1: I want to pick the Jags here, but Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 1: has missed so many throws in the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I've been burned in picking them, and Patrick certain certain
Speaker 1: is going to make him pay for one of them.
Speaker 1: I'm going Broncos as well. Seventeen to fourteen, the Broncos
Speaker 1: defense has only allowed seven touchdowns, which is the fewest
Speaker 1: in the NFL. No other team with a losing record
Speaker 1: has fewer than thirteen. This Broncos defense is just hanging
Speaker 1: on for dear life, and Russell Wilson just needs to
Speaker 1: do something. Cynthia made a genius point this week. I
Speaker 1: think that Russ is starting to play in to all
Speaker 1: of this chaos going on in the outs, messing with us.
Speaker 1: He knows that people are going to go all in,
Speaker 1: like everyone's just piling on, and he's gonna filip a switch.
Speaker 1: I think maybe he's gonna people didn't get to it,
Speaker 1: like there's gonna be more you know, fast food commercials.
Speaker 1: He's going to be doing more things and this, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be this is gonna be long. I think
Speaker 1: he's playing into it. I think I think he's playing
Speaker 1: into it too, for sure, Greg, I don't know. First
Speaker 1: of all, we were already robbed on Carson Wentz against
Speaker 1: the Colts. Now all of this going down in Indie,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Well, that's true, we don't get the rematch,
Speaker 1: but we do get a Commander's victory at least if
Speaker 1: I'm right, I have them nineteen sixteen, and I just
Speaker 1: don't know what to think about c. M Linger, But
Speaker 1: I do know what to think about the Commander's running game.
Speaker 1: It's fun to watch. I'm telling you. They're pretty dynamic.
Speaker 1: What Scott Turner's got going on. Uh, since they brought
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson back the way that they're using him in
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson and Curtis Samuel, I think is having a
Speaker 1: really underrated year. You got Heinick out there blocking. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you got Heinik as a runner. They just throw a
Speaker 1: lot at you defensively, and I think this is a
Speaker 1: game where the better running team is gonna win. And weirdly,
Speaker 1: the Cults are not a very good running team, even
Speaker 1: though they have Jonathan Taylor. It's because of the old line.
Speaker 1: I trust the Commanders more. I'm with you. I have
Speaker 1: the Commanders as well, but only have a one point
Speaker 1: win in this matchup. Let's talk about Terry McLaurin. He's
Speaker 1: kind of like an unsung hero. Last week he got
Speaker 1: the better of Gyor Elex Sander, which doesn't happen very often.
Speaker 1: But when you're scoring touchdowns against a corner of this caliber,
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up on my list and you're gonna
Speaker 1: get a nice little highlight reel of yourself. On this one.
Speaker 1: I think you saw Taylor Heinekey rely on him and
Speaker 1: use him as his outlet. This is an opportunity here
Speaker 1: against the Colts for the Commander to show us something
Speaker 1: I think they do. I think the Colts are going
Speaker 1: to show score, but I have the Bolts on the
Speaker 1: other side of that, getting the wind because I think
Speaker 1: the offense has been limited in Indianapolis. There are some
Speaker 1: things that could not be done with Matt Ryan as
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. He was struggling to throw on the run.
Speaker 1: But now you can get some tight ends involved in
Speaker 1: the game. You can get more mole Ali Cocks, you
Speaker 1: can get more Gilani Woods. Because Sam Elliger had sixteen
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns his junior year at Texas. I can't show
Speaker 1: you any Sam elligor NFL highlights because there aren't any,
Speaker 1: but I think we'll have that. He played really well
Speaker 1: in the preseason touchdown running in the preseason. I support
Speaker 1: the preseason. I just didn't. I couldn't bring myself to
Speaker 1: put preseason highlights on the shows. Also the two tight ends,
Speaker 1: because I think they get more involved in this win. Well,
Speaker 1: if you won't read preseason highlights, let me tell you
Speaker 1: what he did. Scored four touchdown, four passing touchdowns. By
Speaker 1: the way, he had the highest pass A rating of
Speaker 1: any quarterback with a minimum of fifteen passing attempts. Completion
Speaker 1: percentage was up there. He can do something seventeen. They
Speaker 1: don't have a lot on them. They're not really going
Speaker 1: to know what to expect except for preseason footage. That's
Speaker 1: kind of defense, like a young here we go stepping
Speaker 1: up that That was Mike Vick two thousand one. They're
Speaker 1: gonna score thirty points. Look, Sam, I know you're watching.
Speaker 1: If you need encouragement, just look at Andy Dalton. He
Speaker 1: threw two pick sixes last week, and guess what, He's
Speaker 1: still starting this week. So you can do it too,
Speaker 1: all right, Donald's given it ago again this week against
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Saints are one and a half point dogs. Patrick,
Speaker 1: Do you believe in the red rifle? Yes, I firmly
Speaker 1: believe Andy Dalton exists. I do not believe Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: will win this football game. I'm looking over at this
Speaker 1: Saints defense and they have struggled here in two especially
Speaker 1: considering that Marshawn Lattimore he's been injured. He's out of
Speaker 1: this game. And I watched Paul sen Nadibo struggle against
Speaker 1: mar Chase, which, yes, he's a human being, most people do.
Speaker 1: But now it's Davante Adams, and Davante Adams has had
Speaker 1: a solid run in terms of his accomplishments this season.
Speaker 1: I forget the step that I was just about to
Speaker 1: tell you, but Davante Adams is good. I wish he
Speaker 1: could have dunked there. That rule change is bad, but yeah,
Speaker 1: Davante huge game. Raiters want it. I got a problem
Speaker 1: with with everyone putting on in Dalton. Maybe that's you know,
Speaker 1: you contributed to them rifle. We do a whole package
Speaker 1: of the pick six. Dalton's played pretty well. It's been
Speaker 1: the defense for the Saints. That's why they missed Sean Payton.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's because the offense. All their offensive
Speaker 1: numbers are up across the board. It's their defense that
Speaker 1: it's falling apart. So you get rid of Sean Payton
Speaker 1: and suddenly you lose Dennis Allen, who's a great defensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: a top five defense. The last three years now there
Speaker 1: were the worst defenses in the league. They give up
Speaker 1: big place. He's the head coach, but he's not good
Speaker 1: at being the head coach. We've seen that in Vegas,
Speaker 1: and he's not good at doing both jobs. Uh. Their
Speaker 1: run defense used to be great, not great anymore. And
Speaker 1: their communication in the secondary you mentioned Latimore is out
Speaker 1: this week. They don't have their safeties. Their replacements at
Speaker 1: safety is not working. I just don't trust the defense.
Speaker 1: I do trust Dolton weirdly to score Okay, well, I
Speaker 1: trust a Dalton to score two, but not enough to
Speaker 1: score more than the Raiders. I have twenty six to
Speaker 1: a very close one in this matchup. But I think
Speaker 1: the emergence of Josh Jacobs has been a real difference maker.
Speaker 1: When I think of the Saints defense, I think, oh, there,
Speaker 1: you're not able to run on the Saint Steve that well.
Speaker 1: But then you look in the numbers and between the tackles, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're giving up just a bunch of yards per carry,
Speaker 1: and that is also a function of many pieces being
Speaker 1: missing from that safety cores, et cetera. But when I'm
Speaker 1: looking at what Josh Jacob's devils to do and Josh
Speaker 1: McDaniels figuring it out for him, I like this opportunity.
Speaker 1: I think he's also a really strong play for Daily
Speaker 1: Fantasy as well, not that we have to play daily
Speaker 1: if you're out of it for your season long already.
Speaker 1: But ultimately I love and that's the difference of me
Speaker 1: and I love him in this matchup. So Greg, let
Speaker 1: me get this straight. You're like Rachel so mean and dune.
Speaker 1: He was just like a video for Raiders. Anyways, Well,
Speaker 1: you know who's not picking the Raiders and who is
Speaker 1: going to believe in? Yeah? Gal, right here, I am
Speaker 1: taking the Saints twenty seven and twenty four any GOALM
Speaker 1: I know the picks. I know, Okay, I get it.
Speaker 1: Four touchdowns, three hundred and sixty one yard. Who wasn't
Speaker 1: that caught the interception and flipped into the end zone.
Speaker 1: He gave this man the best moment of his life.
Speaker 1: Fun football, and I stand by that interceptions. I don't
Speaker 1: care you're playing fun football. Get into it, Greg low Netta,
Speaker 1: I love it, and I love the Celine Dion, my girl,
Speaker 1: my girl. Alright, couple of games we haven't hit on yet.
Speaker 1: And here's why we're all in agreement, all of us
Speaker 1: taking the Cowboys, Eagles, Titans, Bangles, and Dolphins. But Cynthia
Speaker 1: has the Texans keeping it kind of close, the Steelers
Speaker 1: not so much. And a late change, sneaky Greg Alar
Speaker 1: changing his pick from the Falcons to the Panthers. I
Speaker 1: had to do it a little, just Gregg. Here, Jess,
Speaker 1: Greg's five and two on the here it's in this
Speaker 1: show and p J Walker was dominant. A week ago.
Speaker 1: He really played great, and they're missing in Atlanta their
Speaker 1: two best cornerbacks and a starting safety. So this really
Speaker 1: came down to the wire. This happened like what an
Speaker 1: hour ago. I felt it all week. I was like
Speaker 1: I wanted to take the pick. Just lingering playing right, Okay,
Speaker 1: just nature. All right, let's see the math. Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: is your passing leader, but the Chiefs are off this week.
Speaker 1: Here are some of the other guys in the top fifteen.
Speaker 1: And Cynthia, you are higher on Jail and Hurts than
Speaker 1: some others this week. What do you think. I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a closer game between the Steelers and
Speaker 1: the Eagles than one might think, given that the Eagles
Speaker 1: are undefeated, So I think they're going to have to
Speaker 1: stay passing longer. And I also think the opportunity to
Speaker 1: pass on these defensive backs is just a much greater one,
Speaker 1: and maybe they don't need to do and Hurts to
Speaker 1: run as much. I think he is a great runner,
Speaker 1: but let's do some passing instead, all right, switch it up? Well?
Speaker 1: Speaking of Jale and his Eagles are favored by ten
Speaker 1: and a half points, one of three teams favored by
Speaker 1: over a touchdown this season, and how about this? In
Speaker 1: six of the seven weeks so far, a six and
Speaker 1: a half point underdog has not only covered, but won
Speaker 1: the game. Haul right, it is time for write this
Speaker 1: down before we make our predictions for week eight. Anyone
Speaker 1: got any predictions about how many push ups Greg can do?
Speaker 1: What is happening? Interesting? We have a clip moriy Stones
Speaker 1: do Yeah said that. I said mac Jones was coming
Speaker 1: back into this game, and we decided to put four
Speaker 1: push ups on it. But then I just go and
Speaker 1: look at a counter are doing great? Wow? I said, twelve,
Speaker 1: good job. I'm looking at I'm talking to I'm like
Speaker 1: giving analysis. It was supposed to play out. This is embarrassing. No, like,
Speaker 1: there's this. You're the one that had to keep you
Speaker 1: can Did you tell them to play this because you
Speaker 1: did so many? Of course not. No, he totally did.
Speaker 1: I got the email this morning saying Greg, please, this
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. This is actually I feel deep shame.
Speaker 1: That is the biggest lie. You're totally Russell Wilson up.
Speaker 1: Totally Russell Wilson us. Why does it fill you with shame?
Speaker 1: Because that's that shouldn't feel like anytime you see yourself
Speaker 1: on camera just doing something goofy thin you should try
Speaker 1: and break your record right here. I was thinking I can't.
Speaker 1: I very seconds, I am not doing we're writing this down.
Speaker 1: We're writing this I no, I think we've totally nuts it,
Speaker 1: right this down because we watched right down out. We're
Speaker 1: not gonna have enough time to uh we didn't actually
