WEBVTT - #1 Seeds??!! 0:00:04.299 --> 0:00:06.699 NFL Game Deview is a production of the NFL in 0:00:06.739 --> 0:00:10.619 partnership with iHeartRadio. 0:00:12.459 --> 0:00:14.699 Everybody, Welcome to game debut. Patrick Claybon back here with 0:00:14.779 --> 0:00:17.819 Greg Rosenthal and Cynthia Freedom. We've done it. We've done 0:00:17.859 --> 0:00:21.099 seventeen weeks and picks. We have categorized all of it. 0:00:21.099 --> 0:00:24.059 It is all documented, and folks are still coming and 0:00:24.099 --> 0:00:27.219 saying we're picking better since we want the full season 0:00:27.219 --> 0:00:28.059 of their picks corrects. 0:00:28.099 --> 0:00:30.059 Okay, I mean, I don't know who's picking better than 0:00:30.059 --> 0:00:32.699 this guy all season, but this week we'll test you. 0:00:32.899 --> 0:00:36.739 Week eighteens are funky. Our team's even trying. Who knows 0:00:36.779 --> 0:00:38.899 this separates the great pickers. 0:00:38.459 --> 0:00:39.339 From everyone else? 0:00:40.219 --> 0:00:40.539 Sure? 0:00:41.459 --> 0:00:43.499 Does your model know who's even playing? 0:00:44.019 --> 0:00:48.699 I mean to the best of the communicated information. Yes, 0:00:48.779 --> 0:00:51.579 But then the problem is sometimes they play and then 0:00:51.979 --> 0:00:54.419 or they start and they play like two series. Then 0:00:54.459 --> 0:00:56.499 they sit and that makes everything crazy. 0:00:56.619 --> 0:00:57.699 So you know, it's a. 0:00:57.619 --> 0:00:59.219 Great week for a lot of people who sit there 0:00:59.259 --> 0:01:01.939 every single week saying who wants it more? This time? 0:01:02.019 --> 0:01:02.579 Wants it more? 0:01:02.619 --> 0:01:05.459 This time? It Actually we do actually matter. Greg guy 0:01:05.579 --> 0:01:07.859 led in the picks last week, going ten and six. 0:01:07.979 --> 0:01:11.739 He's actually won the week three times since Thanksgiving. So 0:01:12.339 --> 0:01:15.619 Greg Rosenthal is heating up. These are our season long standings. 0:01:15.899 --> 0:01:19.419 I've still reluctantly got the crown perch caught into the side. 0:01:19.819 --> 0:01:21.619 Hide the bolts about there. We one hundred and sixty 0:01:21.659 --> 0:01:25.499 five and ninety ninety seven for Greg and one sixty 0:01:25.579 --> 0:01:28.259 one in ninety four for Cynthia. I have come up 0:01:28.299 --> 0:01:30.379 short a few times on this show, and by a few, 0:01:30.419 --> 0:01:32.299 I mean every single season that I've been able to 0:01:32.339 --> 0:01:35.819 be with this incredible duo. Someone who needs some help 0:01:35.979 --> 0:01:39.299 might just say, Patrick, you're due for a win. Maybe 0:01:39.419 --> 0:01:41.339 now's the time. Maybe they're saying the same for Kyle 0:01:41.379 --> 0:01:42.979 Shanahan and the forty nine Ers. 0:01:44.499 --> 0:01:47.819 William's looking left, Williams looking right, Williams u turns gets 0:01:47.859 --> 0:01:50.299 away from UF still looking still looking gout. 0:01:50.379 --> 0:01:52.979 Peddling bus come play. 0:01:53.539 --> 0:01:58.459 The punames over and the forty nine Ers have won it. 0:01:59.099 --> 0:02:02.499 They come spilling onto the field and as rock as 0:02:02.579 --> 0:02:05.619 here at Le Guy Stadium, and the forty nine Ers 0:02:05.699 --> 0:02:10.179 are one game away from the one seed in the NFC. 0:02:11.899 --> 0:02:14.699 Yes, just like you heard it. The playoff picture in 0:02:14.779 --> 0:02:17.779 the NFC comes down for that one seed to the 0:02:17.899 --> 0:02:21.059 Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco forty nine Ers, and 0:02:21.179 --> 0:02:26.419 they will square off Saturday night in Santa Clara. The 0:02:26.459 --> 0:02:29.819 winner clinches the NFC West plus the one seed. It's 0:02:29.899 --> 0:02:32.059 huge who gets that honor grip. 0:02:32.699 --> 0:02:35.219 I think the Seahawks have been the best defense in 0:02:35.299 --> 0:02:38.179 the NFL all season long, even better than the Houston Texans, 0:02:38.259 --> 0:02:41.659 and that defense carries the day in a great match 0:02:41.699 --> 0:02:43.219 of twenty seven to twenty four. 0:02:43.259 --> 0:02:45.419 If you remember, the forty nine Ers won it the first. 0:02:45.299 --> 0:02:48.099 Time round all the way back in Week one, and 0:02:48.219 --> 0:02:50.499 watching that highlight like, I still think there could be 0:02:50.579 --> 0:02:54.099 some magic in San Francisco, but not this Saturday night. 0:02:54.339 --> 0:02:57.979 Riek Willan and Devin Witherspoon and Julian Love and Nick 0:02:58.059 --> 0:03:00.539 Emm and Worrie they haven't been all healthy very often 0:03:00.619 --> 0:03:03.379 at the same time this season, and now that they are, 0:03:03.579 --> 0:03:06.979 I think you and Love is committed the extra little 0:03:07.059 --> 0:03:10.499 something special on top of everything. Who can take advantage 0:03:10.819 --> 0:03:14.299 of the opposition's mistakes and brock Perdy's decision making has 0:03:14.379 --> 0:03:17.419 been great. But we're not sure about Trent Williams in 0:03:17.459 --> 0:03:19.859 this game. I think he could be under pressure, maybe 0:03:20.259 --> 0:03:23.459 one too many aggressive throws that the Seahawks pickoff. 0:03:24.139 --> 0:03:27.339 I have Seahawks winning as well. I have one fewer 0:03:27.379 --> 0:03:30.059 point than you. Twenty six to twenty four is my number. 0:03:30.299 --> 0:03:32.219 And I want to talk about somebody that Caleb Williams 0:03:32.339 --> 0:03:36.419 showed us against this defense, and it's what happens when pieces, 0:03:36.859 --> 0:03:40.019 even more pieces, i should say, of the defense are missing. 0:03:40.139 --> 0:03:42.619 They play a ton of nickel, they play a ton 0:03:42.659 --> 0:03:46.219 of Cover four. What does cover four mean? Well, obviously, 0:03:46.379 --> 0:03:49.579 it's a zone concept where you have different assignments basically, 0:03:50.059 --> 0:03:54.139 and the difference between a Robert Salah zone versus other 0:03:54.259 --> 0:03:56.859 people is that there's a lot of decisions that must 0:03:56.899 --> 0:03:59.259 be made. So when an upton Stout goes out that 0:03:59.419 --> 0:04:01.819 you can find areas where Luther Burden can slip in. 0:04:02.339 --> 0:04:04.659 Upton Stout might not be playing in this one. That 0:04:04.939 --> 0:04:08.139 Cover four and the confusion factor from that, I'm just 0:04:08.259 --> 0:04:10.779 looking at that. I just wanted to show an area 0:04:10.939 --> 0:04:14.299 where Sam Darnold's gonna have to be very very careful 0:04:14.779 --> 0:04:18.139 because I know that they're gonna get Diamador Leonor. He 0:04:18.179 --> 0:04:20.299 said he wanted Jackson Smith and Jake and that's what 0:04:20.419 --> 0:04:20.939 keeps it close. 0:04:21.019 --> 0:04:21.419 Good luck. 0:04:21.499 --> 0:04:24.419 Yeah, I'm just saying that, you know, those Cover four 0:04:24.459 --> 0:04:25.619 principles are very interesting. 0:04:25.939 --> 0:04:28.499 It's it's good to want things and to want a 0:04:28.579 --> 0:04:33.779 competitive matchup. We're not competitive here. I have the Seattle Seahawks. 0:04:33.419 --> 0:04:35.819 As well, basically the same score on Switch. 0:04:36.539 --> 0:04:38.259 I've got the same score as Greg guess. 0:04:39.779 --> 0:04:41.339 We're doubting the yes. 0:04:41.499 --> 0:04:45.339 And it is concern because, as as Cynthia frequently notes, 0:04:45.379 --> 0:04:48.939 Kyle Shanahan does have a relationship with revealing information that 0:04:49.139 --> 0:04:54.099 may ultimately not necessarily be related to the lies. And 0:04:54.579 --> 0:04:56.859 I think that's a factor that's helpful in terms of 0:04:56.939 --> 0:04:59.819 play calling. And maybe he and Robert Sella deliver a 0:04:59.859 --> 0:05:03.339 spectacular performance. But to talk about the players on the Seahawks. 0:05:04.299 --> 0:05:06.899 The six hundred and thirty seven receiving yards for JSN, 0:05:06.979 --> 0:05:09.339 the fourth most by twenty three year old. The three 0:05:09.539 --> 0:05:12.499 guys ahead of him twenty twenty two, Justin Jefferson, nineteen 0:05:12.579 --> 0:05:15.379 ninety five, Isaac Bruce and who can forget that twenty 0:05:15.499 --> 0:05:20.139 thirteen Josh Gordon season. JSN is spectacular. I gotta go 0:05:20.259 --> 0:05:21.819 with the Jimmy's and the Joe's in this one. And 0:05:22.019 --> 0:05:24.299 for years that's been the forty nine ers. It's the 0:05:24.339 --> 0:05:26.859 Seahawks now, guys, so we'll see. 0:05:26.939 --> 0:05:28.859 You just wanted to say Josh Gordon on the show. 0:05:28.979 --> 0:05:31.859 Yeah, that was good, Gil, that was good as charts. 0:05:31.899 --> 0:05:33.939 It's Tom for the feel good Story of the League 0:05:34.099 --> 0:05:37.139 presented by Geico Brock. Perty has solved quarterbacking. Guys. He's 0:05:37.139 --> 0:05:39.979 got ten touchdowns in the last two games. Well, we 0:05:40.019 --> 0:05:41.859 have more or less than one and a half passing 0:05:41.939 --> 0:05:43.139 touchdowns against Seattleson. 0:05:43.299 --> 0:05:45.019 I think he has more than one and a half 0:05:45.139 --> 0:05:47.979 passing touchdowns. And we see the Dougie, which is what 0:05:48.139 --> 0:05:51.019 that dance was. I have verification on that, which was 0:05:51.099 --> 0:05:53.619 very important to me. But I'm looking at not necessarily 0:05:53.699 --> 0:05:56.579 a deep throat like this one, but perhaps something smaller 0:05:56.659 --> 0:06:00.419 to Christian McCaffrey in short yardage situations. That looks to 0:06:00.539 --> 0:06:02.659 me like one of the easier paths for him to 0:06:02.699 --> 0:06:05.179 score these two touchdowns. But again, we have scores in 0:06:05.219 --> 0:06:07.659 the twenties, which means touchdowns, and I believe they come 0:06:07.699 --> 0:06:08.139 through the air. 0:06:09.179 --> 0:06:12.419 So let's go to the other battle in the NFC. 0:06:12.659 --> 0:06:16.379 The NFC South comes down to one game kind of. 0:06:17.059 --> 0:06:20.179 If the Carolina Panthers win, they clinch a spot in 0:06:20.259 --> 0:06:23.899 the playoffs, or they could lose and become Falcons fans 0:06:25.019 --> 0:06:27.979 for the game against the Saints. As for Tampa Bay, 0:06:28.059 --> 0:06:30.779 they need to win and they need the Falcons to lose, 0:06:30.859 --> 0:06:33.699 which is something that they've had some difficulty causing personally 0:06:34.139 --> 0:06:36.379 the past couple of seasons. So let's talk about this 0:06:36.499 --> 0:06:38.899 Panthers Bucks game. These teams played just a couple of 0:06:38.939 --> 0:06:41.579 weeks ago. Carolina won by three. Who do you think 0:06:41.659 --> 0:06:42.859 wins round two, Cynthia. 0:06:43.659 --> 0:06:45.299 I don't feel great about it, but I have the 0:06:45.379 --> 0:06:48.019 Bucks winning this game. I have a score of twenty 0:06:48.099 --> 0:06:50.179 five to twenty one, which means not only do they win, 0:06:50.299 --> 0:06:52.539 but they win by more than the number. It's all 0:06:52.579 --> 0:06:55.539 about the short passes for me. Because Baker Mayfield not 0:06:55.659 --> 0:06:57.899 a doctor. This is something we've established all season long. 0:06:58.139 --> 0:07:00.379 But perhaps something ain't right because when you're looking at 0:07:00.419 --> 0:07:02.899 what happens when he throws deep, it isn't good. But 0:07:02.979 --> 0:07:04.619 when you look at what happens when he threw short, 0:07:04.979 --> 0:07:07.499 that was where all his production came against the Dolphins. 0:07:07.699 --> 0:07:09.699 Perhaps he's not able to step into it. I don't know. 0:07:09.859 --> 0:07:12.179 I'm not, again, not a doctor. I did do a 0:07:12.179 --> 0:07:14.499 little bit of time in medical school, so hey, there 0:07:14.539 --> 0:07:17.819 you go, humble braggest Just as a side quest dropped out, 0:07:17.859 --> 0:07:19.219 it was terrible, still have to pay for it. But 0:07:19.419 --> 0:07:22.339 I'm looking at the opportunity for Baker Mayfield to use 0:07:22.419 --> 0:07:26.259 those shorter passes. He has the receiving court that includes 0:07:26.619 --> 0:07:29.179 Mike Evans, a Hall of Famer future Hall of Famer, 0:07:29.259 --> 0:07:32.059 So it just feels to me. I don't again, I 0:07:32.139 --> 0:07:33.059 don't feel good about. 0:07:32.899 --> 0:07:34.139 This one, but I think they win. 0:07:34.779 --> 0:07:36.939 I don't know what to think about this game, but 0:07:37.259 --> 0:07:41.099 I want mess I want that Saints Falcons game on Sunday. 0:07:41.219 --> 0:07:45.219 He decide the championship and it's Gene Deckerhoff, the great 0:07:45.699 --> 0:07:47.939 play by play man for the Bucks. His last season, 0:07:48.099 --> 0:07:49.699 so they're gonna send him out in style with a 0:07:49.779 --> 0:07:52.059 win in this game. Because of some of those old 0:07:52.139 --> 0:07:55.299 heads that Jean's been announcing for years, I'm talking about 0:07:55.379 --> 0:07:58.859 Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and how about some of 0:07:58.859 --> 0:08:01.659 the new guys too. Jalen McMillan had a career high 0:08:01.659 --> 0:08:05.059 in reception last week. We're watching Mike Evans in that 0:08:05.219 --> 0:08:08.499 Falcons game. He's all the way back. Chris Godwin had 0:08:08.539 --> 0:08:10.739 a couple long catches. 0:08:10.619 --> 0:08:11.259 A week ago. 0:08:11.499 --> 0:08:14.899 This is a very good receiver group and I know 0:08:14.979 --> 0:08:17.899 it's strength and strength against the Panthers secondary, which has 0:08:17.979 --> 0:08:20.579 some talented players. I think this is a rare team 0:08:20.659 --> 0:08:24.059 the Bucks, who have more than what Carolina has in 0:08:24.139 --> 0:08:26.219 the back end, they find a way to finally get 0:08:26.259 --> 0:08:26.499 a win. 0:08:27.219 --> 0:08:30.299 My friend from Boston College played guard for the Bucks, 0:08:30.339 --> 0:08:32.779 and he jumped, he fall started quite a bit. His 0:08:32.899 --> 0:08:35.259 name was Jeremy Drubland, and I just remember the calls 0:08:35.299 --> 0:08:37.179 because that's such a good last name. In the play 0:08:37.259 --> 0:08:38.459 by play, I was so good. 0:08:38.819 --> 0:08:41.579 Anyways, Aside Jeremy and the inzo for one of those 0:08:42.099 --> 0:08:44.899 trouble Bucks, I've got the Carolina Panthers in this one 0:08:46.779 --> 0:08:49.699 two twenty one, because yes, everything that Cynthia and Greg 0:08:49.739 --> 0:08:52.339 said about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is true. Down the stretch. 0:08:52.779 --> 0:08:55.499 It has been tough for me to ignore. If it 0:08:55.619 --> 0:08:58.299 was the slightest glimpse of early season or even mid 0:08:58.419 --> 0:09:00.739 season Bucks, I'd be confident here. But the Panthers have 0:09:00.859 --> 0:09:02.819 at least been consistent in the fact that they've been 0:09:02.899 --> 0:09:06.939 consistently inconson. They had nothing deep against the Seahawks, but 0:09:06.979 --> 0:09:09.939 the last Bucks game, Brice completed most of his deep 0:09:09.939 --> 0:09:12.619 passing attempts. He was sixteen of eighteen within ten yards 0:09:12.819 --> 0:09:14.739 the blitz, which I thought was gonna be a problem. 0:09:14.779 --> 0:09:17.539 Then wasn't even much of a problem. I've got the 0:09:17.579 --> 0:09:20.139 Carolina Panthers, and at least that way, Greg Jeane will 0:09:20.219 --> 0:09:22.939 know that this will be his final game for the 0:09:23.019 --> 0:09:23.539 Tampa Bay Ble. 0:09:23.659 --> 0:09:24.099 That's true. 0:09:24.179 --> 0:09:27.219 If not, they just got to wait until Sunday. We're 0:09:27.219 --> 0:09:29.259 gonna have more on that game a little later in 0:09:29.299 --> 0:09:31.779 the show. I'm excited to talk about it. That's the 0:09:31.899 --> 0:09:33.459 game of the day on Sunday. 0:09:33.539 --> 0:09:37.699 Who's in the nfchself. It's Nomber who's eaten good? Wasented 0:09:37.739 --> 0:09:41.019 buy Applebee's team. Mac had just five receiving yards last week. 0:09:41.059 --> 0:09:43.899 Does he bounce back, hopefully more than five, more than 0:09:44.019 --> 0:09:45.179 fifty nine yards in this one. 0:09:45.299 --> 0:09:48.139 More than five, yes, very good, fifty nine. I have 0:09:48.299 --> 0:09:51.579 more than that as well. It's all about the number 0:09:51.659 --> 0:09:54.779 and percentage of the team share that he already has, 0:09:54.859 --> 0:09:57.299 which is very very high. When you're up, you're that 0:09:57.419 --> 0:09:59.819 forty percent mark, like making history for rookies. 0:10:00.019 --> 0:10:01.659 You're gonna be a guy who's looked to you. 0:10:01.739 --> 0:10:03.619 And I think this is one of the situations where 0:10:04.219 --> 0:10:06.539 coach can say they if not the same, hey, let's 0:10:06.579 --> 0:10:08.859 get this guy. Offensive resie of the year in roots 0:10:08.899 --> 0:10:11.619 to winning the game. This is how they have constructed it. 0:10:11.739 --> 0:10:14.819 There are ways to target that secondary deep. I think 0:10:14.859 --> 0:10:17.179 that that's a I like him to have at least 0:10:17.219 --> 0:10:19.019 seventy yards, so more than sixty. 0:10:19.099 --> 0:10:21.139 All right, a bounce back game for Team MACKI and 0:10:21.139 --> 0:10:23.859 the Panthers aren't a win and in playoff scenario. Similarly, 0:10:24.179 --> 0:10:27.259 so are the Baltimore Ravens. And they're running back El Trectorcito. 0:10:29.699 --> 0:10:32.499 Derrick Henry is back in the backfield in the power 0:10:32.579 --> 0:10:36.019 eye formation. He'll get the carry on the toss, gets 0:10:36.019 --> 0:10:36.659 around the corner. 0:10:36.939 --> 0:10:37.339 He's in the. 0:10:37.379 --> 0:10:43.659 Twenty ten five touch down Derrick Henry and with that run, 0:10:44.259 --> 0:10:47.619 he breaks the NFL record for the most games with 0:10:47.819 --> 0:10:52.059 two hundred yards carrying and becomes the first NFL running 0:10:52.139 --> 0:10:56.499 back to crest the two hundred yard mark seven times 0:10:56.539 --> 0:10:57.339 in his career. 0:10:59.539 --> 0:11:02.059 And that keeps the Baltimore Ravens on the in the 0:11:02.139 --> 0:11:06.499 hunt side of the AFC. They win this game. Yes, 0:11:07.419 --> 0:11:10.179 it's equal to being the number one seed in terms 0:11:10.219 --> 0:11:13.939 of space on the graphic. Our congratulations to the Ravens 0:11:14.019 --> 0:11:16.339 for that. Also the fact that they get a game 0:11:16.459 --> 0:11:19.259 Sunday night in Pittsburgh, a winner and take all battle 0:11:19.579 --> 0:11:22.019 for the AFC North Crown the number four seed in 0:11:22.059 --> 0:11:25.619 the playoffs as well. Loser leaves town. Well maybe if 0:11:25.659 --> 0:11:27.819 the Baltimore Ravens lose, they they're gonna lose. They're gonna 0:11:27.859 --> 0:11:29.659 leave town regardless because the game is the Pittsburgh Lamar 0:11:29.819 --> 0:11:31.739 was back at practice for the Ravens this week. How 0:11:31.779 --> 0:11:32.619 does this one go? Gread? 0:11:33.459 --> 0:11:35.859 It's gonna go like you dream it goes. 0:11:36.179 --> 0:11:38.419 It's gonna have the Ravens, the team you didn't see 0:11:38.499 --> 0:11:41.059 coming making it to the playoffs in the end, our 0:11:41.139 --> 0:11:43.859 super Bowl pick from before the year. Because of Derrick 0:11:43.899 --> 0:11:47.339 Henry and everything, this running game is getting going. And 0:11:47.899 --> 0:11:51.019 if Lamar Jackson's at practice, I like his chances of 0:11:51.139 --> 0:11:53.459 playing in the game. But no matter who's that quarterback, 0:11:53.539 --> 0:11:57.979 I'm taking Baltimore in this one because Derrick Henry has 0:11:58.059 --> 0:12:00.819 made me believe, you know, in a higher power, you 0:12:00.899 --> 0:12:04.939 know what I mean, Like this game happened right before Christmas. 0:12:05.179 --> 0:12:07.779 I was brought up in a non religious household, so 0:12:08.379 --> 0:12:10.779 I didn't have that like something greater than the sum 0:12:10.819 --> 0:12:12.779 of their part, something to believe in. And then I 0:12:12.859 --> 0:12:15.299 watched that performance by Derrick Henry the other night. I 0:12:15.419 --> 0:12:18.339 believe in you Dereck Henry. There's just something about him. 0:12:19.099 --> 0:12:21.659 You took me l out of Daniel Filelele and you 0:12:21.779 --> 0:12:23.259 made this Ravens seem different. 0:12:23.419 --> 0:12:26.939 Let's go Ravens. I don't even follow them. 0:12:27.059 --> 0:12:28.219 I don't think you can well. 0:12:28.379 --> 0:12:31.379 I Baltimore winning by two points twenty three to twenty one. 0:12:31.419 --> 0:12:32.979 I want to talk about the other side of the ball, 0:12:32.979 --> 0:12:35.739 which would be Kyle Hamilton. There hasn't been a ton 0:12:35.819 --> 0:12:37.539 of things on this defense that you can look to 0:12:37.619 --> 0:12:40.219 and be like, hey, they are great and elite here 0:12:40.779 --> 0:12:44.459 except for Kyle Hamilton, who was wind up everywhere, been 0:12:44.579 --> 0:12:47.499 asked to do everything and delivered. So I'm looking at 0:12:47.539 --> 0:12:50.619 the different things that could happen. We know that the 0:12:50.659 --> 0:12:52.379 Steelers Aaron Rodgers, wants to get the. 0:12:52.379 --> 0:12:53.139 Ball out quickly. 0:12:53.259 --> 0:12:56.139 We know that their running backs are a very big key. 0:12:56.379 --> 0:12:58.419 We know that the tight ends are a super big 0:12:58.539 --> 0:13:00.459 key to the way that the Steelers like to operate 0:13:00.499 --> 0:13:03.499 their offense. What does Kyle Hamilton do in all those 0:13:03.539 --> 0:13:07.979 situations locks it down? And what does Kyle Hamilton provide them? Now? 0:13:08.339 --> 0:13:12.779 Without DK Metcalf, they're just a better opportunity to not 0:13:12.899 --> 0:13:15.899 let anything go behind any of the defensive backs. 0:13:15.939 --> 0:13:16.539 So I think. 0:13:17.899 --> 0:13:20.739 God likes Kyle Hamilton toy. He went to Notre Dame, 0:13:20.859 --> 0:13:23.219 so I'm pretty sure he likes you know, I think 0:13:23.259 --> 0:13:23.979 he likes God. 0:13:25.739 --> 0:13:28.619 Being representative for all everything absolutely also. 0:13:28.579 --> 0:13:31.379 Not God, whatever you believe. And I'm sure Kyle Hamilton 0:13:31.499 --> 0:13:32.499 is involved in. 0:13:32.499 --> 0:13:35.579 That representation for all, including the blasphemy community. I've got 0:13:35.619 --> 0:13:38.499 the twenty four to twenty win for the Baltimore Ravens. 0:13:38.579 --> 0:13:41.059 It's difficult to underscore how big of an absence. Yeah, like, 0:13:41.099 --> 0:13:43.499 no Dk Metcalf, easy to see, that's why you're throwing 0:13:43.539 --> 0:13:48.099 three balls consecutively to mvs against Denzel Ward. But probably 0:13:48.219 --> 0:13:52.019 and literally the biggest absence was Darnell Washington in this game. 0:13:52.299 --> 0:13:55.819 He actually played three plays with a broken arm. But 0:13:55.899 --> 0:13:58.539 the team rush EPA this season not worth it, Yeah, 0:13:59.779 --> 0:14:01.979 but they need him. They go from zero point seven 0:14:02.019 --> 0:14:05.219 and rush EPA to six Negai six point six. When 0:14:05.259 --> 0:14:07.299 he's not on the field, they lose almost a half 0:14:07.339 --> 0:14:10.059 a yard per carry. The success rate goes from forty 0:14:10.139 --> 0:14:13.339 seven to forty two percent in the run game, and yeah, 0:14:13.499 --> 0:14:16.379 the passing game. A lot of the Steelers offense looks 0:14:16.419 --> 0:14:19.299 like it did against the Cleveland Browns. So I've got 0:14:19.379 --> 0:14:22.539 Baltimore in this one, and advancing to the postseason. 0:14:22.139 --> 0:14:24.939 We're just getting him away that the Steelers and Mike Tomlin, 0:14:24.979 --> 0:14:26.499 they got us right where they want us here. 0:14:26.699 --> 0:14:29.979 I think maybe even a significant significant portion of Steelers 0:14:30.019 --> 0:14:32.779 fans prefer to lose the game, So I'm right there 0:14:32.859 --> 0:14:35.259 with you, guys. Tom for Sees the Season presented by 0:14:35.339 --> 0:14:37.659 Caesars Sports Book. As we look at the first touchdown 0:14:37.739 --> 0:14:41.099 score odds between the Lions and the Bears, it is 0:14:41.299 --> 0:14:44.659 Jamior Gibbs and DeAndre Swift leading the way to kyleman Nungui, 0:14:44.779 --> 0:14:48.419 i'm on Saint Brown and Dj Moore rounding out that group. 0:14:48.499 --> 0:14:51.259 Let's dive into this matchup. The Bears will win the 0:14:51.419 --> 0:14:54.139 number two seed. With they win, the Lions are out 0:14:54.179 --> 0:14:56.259 of the playoffs, but we know that Dan Campbell likes 0:14:56.299 --> 0:14:59.099 to have these late season wins that they don't necessarily need, 0:14:59.779 --> 0:15:03.859 especially against this protege a Ben Johnson. How do things go, Cynthia, I. 0:15:03.899 --> 0:15:06.739 Hate this result because it's just a one point win 0:15:06.819 --> 0:15:09.259 for Chicago. My heart says it's gonna be like a 0:15:09.339 --> 0:15:12.139 twelve point win for Chicago, but the math says twenty 0:15:12.179 --> 0:15:14.939 four to twenty three. Let's talk about Colson Lovelin because 0:15:15.019 --> 0:15:17.939 I like the Bears better in this matchup. He's kind 0:15:17.939 --> 0:15:21.739 of becoming a huge factor in this offense, especially as 0:15:21.779 --> 0:15:25.179 we've seen Romo Donze not be available. This is a 0:15:25.259 --> 0:15:27.939 really important guy to keep an eye on. Good news. 0:15:28.059 --> 0:15:30.459 He's also went to college in a great state of Michigan, 0:15:30.539 --> 0:15:32.619 so it's good for him that he, you know, can 0:15:32.699 --> 0:15:35.339 help out a Okay, I'm not gonna make Michigan jokes 0:15:35.339 --> 0:15:38.219 because the Bears are just better. But ultimately I'm looking 0:15:38.299 --> 0:15:40.859 at him going forward and he'll be a huge key 0:15:41.019 --> 0:15:44.339 to the playoffs. Where he is on the field, the blocking, 0:15:44.539 --> 0:15:46.779 all the different areas that he's helping out in, he 0:15:46.979 --> 0:15:48.619 is really living up to the people are like, well, 0:15:48.939 --> 0:15:51.019 is he going to be better than Tyler? Who cares? 0:15:51.299 --> 0:15:53.539 I think eventually he who knows if he'll be better 0:15:53.619 --> 0:15:55.139 or not than Tyler Warren. I just think he's really 0:15:55.179 --> 0:15:56.459 good and he'll help them in the playoffs. 0:15:56.539 --> 0:15:58.299 A ton I went back and forth with this one. 0:15:58.339 --> 0:16:00.259 At first, I thought I could imagine a world where 0:16:00.339 --> 0:16:03.579 Detroit has one last moment of glory, but then I 0:16:03.659 --> 0:16:06.059 thought back to that Week two game and I thought. 0:16:06.019 --> 0:16:07.899 The Bears are going to get their revenge. They're going 0:16:07.979 --> 0:16:08.619 to start their. 0:16:08.579 --> 0:16:11.579 Revenge tour of this entire division and all the teams 0:16:11.939 --> 0:16:14.739 that have been taking them apart for years with their 0:16:14.779 --> 0:16:18.059 old boss, Dan Campbell, at least Ben Johnson's old boss. 0:16:18.179 --> 0:16:21.259 In that game in Week two, Jared Goff ended up 0:16:21.299 --> 0:16:24.099 with five touchdowns. They put a fifty burger on him. 0:16:24.139 --> 0:16:26.419 The game was a little closer than the final score 0:16:26.659 --> 0:16:29.659 would indicate, but Dan Campbell's going for fourth downs as 0:16:29.779 --> 0:16:33.259 Dan Campbell does to get that number over fifty. I 0:16:33.379 --> 0:16:36.259 think the Lions are too good to allow a blowout. 0:16:37.019 --> 0:16:39.459 But I think the Bears and Ben Johnson they get 0:16:39.499 --> 0:16:41.539 they're made of the real stuff here and they want 0:16:41.579 --> 0:16:43.899 to play the Packers next week, and so you got 0:16:44.019 --> 0:16:47.019 to win this game, clinch that two seed, and set 0:16:47.099 --> 0:16:49.499 up that matchup against the Packers so they can keep 0:16:49.619 --> 0:16:51.259 destroying the NFC North. 0:16:51.419 --> 0:16:53.499 Well, you make a great point, Greg, and looking back 0:16:53.499 --> 0:16:55.859 at Jared Goff having those five touchdowns in the video 0:16:55.859 --> 0:16:57.899 of Jamiir Gibbs running down the field by himself, I've 0:16:57.939 --> 0:17:00.579 got the Detroit Lions and whoa hi three twenty four 0:17:00.619 --> 0:17:02.419 to twenty one. The Bears are the better team. The 0:17:02.499 --> 0:17:05.579 Lions are hurt and sad and consider Holland feasts for 0:17:05.659 --> 0:17:07.579 twenty twenty six, like a lot of people are this 0:17:07.739 --> 0:17:09.419 time of year. But I'll rive with Jarrett because he's 0:17:09.419 --> 0:17:11.459 good enough for Detroit and he's good enough for me. 0:17:11.539 --> 0:17:13.579 It was back in lead two when he ripped off, 0:17:13.819 --> 0:17:16.699 he ripped apart this defense. Greg highlighted he completed twelve 0:17:16.819 --> 0:17:19.779 or fourteen on play action for almost two hundred yards 0:17:19.979 --> 0:17:23.259 and two touchdowns. Sure they were dialing up the scoreboard 0:17:23.379 --> 0:17:25.699 late because they could, and I think they could do 0:17:25.779 --> 0:17:28.059 it again this time. And I have Dan Cambell the 0:17:28.099 --> 0:17:30.419 Lions getting another Week eighteen win, because that's what they 0:17:30.579 --> 0:17:33.619 do in Detroit season.

Allen, that's a man of motion. 0:17:47.339 --> 0:17:51.299 Allen looks, he's back, he's firing, and it is a 0:17:51.579 --> 0:17:57.419 complete to get who's digles win? Now there's five seconds 0:17:57.459 --> 0:17:59.859 on the tck, but the Eagles are gonna win. He 0:18:00.059 --> 0:18:03.299 threw up pass course secure and it wasn't even boost 0:18:04.179 --> 0:18:06.459 Eagles puck the pressure on out there going the win. 0:18:08.339 --> 0:18:10.099 It wasn't pretty much. The Eagles held on for the 0:18:10.139 --> 0:18:12.699 win last week in Buffalo. They've got the Commander's Sunday. 0:18:12.779 --> 0:18:15.579 With a win and a Bear's loss, Philly could move 0:18:15.699 --> 0:18:17.659 up to that number two seed. How do you see 0:18:17.659 --> 0:18:18.619 it going, Cynthia. 0:18:18.819 --> 0:18:21.499 I don't think Philadelphia leaves us one to chance. I 0:18:21.579 --> 0:18:24.579 know they're not necessarily starting everyone or playing everyone. Some 0:18:24.699 --> 0:18:26.739 rest is going on here, but twenty six to seventeen 0:18:26.979 --> 0:18:30.219 is where the model landed, even with all that's up 0:18:30.299 --> 0:18:32.139 in the air. But what I'm looking for in this 0:18:32.299 --> 0:18:34.579 game is how the running backs are being used. The 0:18:34.739 --> 0:18:37.659 concepts are the same, even if the players are different. 0:18:37.979 --> 0:18:39.499 I do think we see the. 0:18:39.539 --> 0:18:40.419 Take bigs becoming it. 0:18:40.459 --> 0:18:43.219 When he had two touches last week, that's awesome, But 0:18:43.339 --> 0:18:45.819 he did have a nice game against the Commanders when 0:18:45.859 --> 0:18:48.019 they met the first time. I just want to see 0:18:48.379 --> 0:18:51.539
