15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: We'll be serving up fresh produce to all the children

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. Well maybe some M and ms today,

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: All right, j Mac, You know, right and wrong.

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: Is a staple on this show.

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: Indeed, and sometimes, unlike Yoshi, I surrender a meatball and

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: it gets hit out of the stadium.

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: So here we go to Monday. Colin right, Colin wrong?

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: Where Colin was right?

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: I told you I told you earlier this year, and

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: I told you last year. AJ Brown, there's drama, Jalen Hurtz,

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: head down grinder, You're not going to deal with any

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: of it. They had their best offensive game by a

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: long shot without aj Brown. Maybe it's coincidental, or maybe

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: the only thing that gets in the way of a

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: great locker.

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: Room is drama.

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: And there's a little bit of drama, it gets people sidetracked.

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: But the Eagles I watched yesterday looked like the Eagles

33
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: that got to a super Bowl last year.

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 2: Where Colin was raw.

35
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kicked Buffalo out of the hurt hierarchy.

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: My bad.

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: They're still good. What was remarkable is that Josh Allen

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: only at nineteen pass attempts. They looked like the real deal.

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: You know, what do you need to say when Josh

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: is feeling it. I don't think Caroline is as terrible

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: as everybody wants to say. I think Caroline is okay.

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: But gotta be honest. That was impressive where Colin was right.

43
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel and New England first play six and two.

44
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: This will mark the fourth straight year that my double

45
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: their win total pick will come to fruition.

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: They're still in the rebuild.

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: They still need to meet at consistent pass rusher. Another

48
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: perimeter weapon. But they're well coached. And Drake may Man

49
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: does that look good just the eye test, accurate size,

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: but he moves, knows when to slide.

51
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were right on that one where Colin was raw.

52
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: I thought Brian Kelly would work at LSU. I thought

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: it was a weird fit. That whole you know, Southern

54
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: Twain thing he had I thought was weird. But I

55
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: mean the guy won everywhere ed oors on one of

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: Natty at LSU, and Brian is a good coach pre LSU.

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: He won big at three different programs. Smart guy. But

58
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: you know what, it just goes to show that fit matters.

59
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: And this was always I think you knew this.

60
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: It was a weird fit where Colin was right.

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: Said it last year when the Indianapolis local media was saying,

62
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: you gotta fire Chris Ballard the GM, and I'm like,

63
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: are you guys crazy? If you watch the games, they're

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: bad at quarterback, they're good everywhere else. They're all lines good, Taylor,

65
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: Pierce Pittman. I mean, they could use another pass rusher.

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: They're probably one cornerback shy, but the whole NFL could

67
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: use another cornerback. This is a well constructed team that

68
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: jet the sky was never falling. In this league, if

69
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: you don't have quarterback right, it makes everybody else look incompetent.

70
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: The GM and the coach are excellent.

71
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: They just needed a trigger man, and I would be

72
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: shocked if they don't sign Daniel Jones to an extension.

73
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: Where Colin was wrong.

74
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: The Celtics are winless without Jason Tatum, and Jalen Brown's

75
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: even playing well. Listen, the last several years, the point

76
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: differential didn't change that much. In fact, the offense was

77
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: better when he didn't play. Now, I didn't think the

78
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: team was better, but they've been fine without Jason Tatum

79
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 1: for several years. Right now, their offense thirtieth in the NBA,

80
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: dead last. So I mean, listen, we know he's a

81
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: good player, good kid. In the short term, they were

82
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: fine without Jason Tatum. In the long term, it is

83
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: ugly because Jalen Brown's playing well.

84
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: Jaylen Brown always plays well.

85
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: Where Colin was right, Colorado got baked again fifty three

86
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 1: to seven, lost to Utah down forty three to nothing

87
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: at half. Listen, I said Deon Sanders was great to

88
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: get attention. Dion Sanders was good for energy and some recruiting.

89
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: He's not an elite football coach. They're one in four

90
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve. You know, again, not every coach

91
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: is just about w's. I think at Colorado with some

92
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: of their revenue issues, nil World, I think Dion was

93
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: a good choice.

94
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: But we always said this staff.

95
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean that, come on, I mean, you have to

96
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: be one thousand percent committed to coaching to be really,

97
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: really even good at it, and I just never thought

98
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: Dion was that level of a coach.

99
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 2: Where Colin was right, I have never waivered on Justin Herbert.

100
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: Top five quarterback period and right now, second in touchdown

101
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: passes in the NFL, first in passing yards with a

102
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: number three running back back up everywhere on the offensive line,

103
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: he's faced twenty more pressures than the next quarterback in

104
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. They are five and three. They just blew

105
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: out the Vikings and again he is doing it. Most

106
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: of the offense either gone or not playing at one

107
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Where Colin was wrong. Okay, I'm making an

108
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: exception with quarterbacks wearing their hat on backwards, Justin was

109
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: it a Laker game with singer and model Madison beer Listen,

110
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I'm a true romantic. I'm sorry. Everything in

111
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: life has exceptions. It was his off day. I mean

112
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: he didn't have practice. I mean he looked at it.

113
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: It's like a hero. I mean, everybody in life has

114
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: to make one exception. Okay, I made a big exception,

115
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: and oh my bad.

116
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: I'm a true romantic.

117
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: I see, you know a lot more than just Valentine's

118
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: Day cards going forward. So I'm going to make a

119
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: little tiny exception with quarterbacks and their hat on backwards.

120
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: Influencer artist, Hey, it's an artist. Maybe he's becoming a

121
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: little more ad libby.

Speaker 2: All right, here we go the herd hierarchy on a.

137
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 5: Tuesday heard hierarchy time is now go the top ten

138
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 5: NFL teams according to College number ten.

139
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: Well, the Buffalo Bills are five and zero. When James

140
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: Cook rushes for one hundred yards a rush for one

141
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: hundred yards, Josh Allen only had to throw the ball

142
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: nineteen times. I don't think they're very good against the run.

143
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: Their pass defense is fine, but they're a very good team.

144
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: It's a long season. I like their on line, their

145
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: run game, Josh Allen. They could probably use another receiving

146
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: piece against the better defenses like Kansas City.

147
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: But they're back in the top ten. Number ten, number nine.

148
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: New England beat them all. Put in New England nine.

149
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: You know, New England is the only team since the

150
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: fifties first eight games they haven't allowed a running back

151
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards. So Vrabel made them tougher better against

152
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: the run. And let's just be totally frank here. Drake

153
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: may looks like a top six to seven quarterback.

154
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: In the league.

155
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: He may not be, but He's completing seventy five percent

156
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: of his throws and his passer ratings one nineteen, so

157
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: the numbers say he is again.

158
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: I think they need another weapon. I like the running

159
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: back room.

160
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: They're good enough Hunter Henry at tight end, but this

161
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,239
Speaker 1: is about coaching and an exploding young star at quarterback.

162
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: Don't think they're a super Bowl team, but.

163
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: I have him at nine.

164
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: Number eight. Broncos are a little inconsistent for me. I

165
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: do think Sean Payton is coaching bone Knicks. He wants

166
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: him to throw the ball down the field more and

167
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: sometimes it gets ugly.

168
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: But here's the numbers you have to think of.

169
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: This team is allowed the fewest sacks in the NFL

170
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: and is also has ten more sacks than anybody in

171
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: the NFL that travels. Denver's not going anywhere. It's why

172
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: I think they're one of the few teams that matches

173
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: up with Kansas City. You can't get the bone Knicks

174
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: and they get to your quarterback.

175
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: Denver at eight. Number seven. Bucks are all beat up.

176
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: I put them at seven mostly because they have a

177
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback in Bo Nicks as a kid. They're all

178
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: beat up offensively, but they are still one t plus

179
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: yards down the field. Baker's the best quarterback in the league.

180
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: They have been out gained in four straight games, so

181
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: there's a little fools gold when they get into these

182
00:09:59,200 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: winning streaks.

183
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 2: They're not pretty.

184
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: They're all banged up, but I think we all acknowledge

185
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: at number seven Fields about right. Number six the Rams.

186
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: They went and got a corner from Tennessee.

187
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: I may have them a little low, highest overall great

188
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: and highest graded offense in the NFL according to PFF.

189
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: Now they have one of the last pocket quarterbacks, so

190
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: if you can get to Matt Stafford, that's the key.

191
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: And their O line is good. I don't think it's great.

192
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: They lead the NFL in big pass plays. Even when

193
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: Puca was gone. They brought in a fourth tight end,

194
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: smart coach, great quarterback. They don't move the pocket a ton,

195
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: so sometimes Stafford if protection pro pass protection regresses that

196
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: he can feel a little bit like a sitting duck.

197
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: But they're allowing an NFL low ten touchdowns through the season,

198
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: so it's just hard to get into the end zone

199
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: against the Rams.

200
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: I have them at six. Number five the Lions.

201
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: Again, a pocket quarterback golf can be a sitting duck

202
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: at times. I think the Ram and the Lions have

203
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: very very good rosters. I think the Lions have better

204
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: offensive personnel, the Rams have better defensive personnel. For their

205
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: five wins have come by double digits. They are really

206
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: special at home, they're okay on the road, and by

207
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: the way, their schedule is pretty weak going forward for

208
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: the next month, so they'll.

209
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: Keep posting dobs. Number four Green Bay.

210
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, Folks, I don't want to hear that he's ascending.

211
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: He's a star arm mobility talent, and their defense allowed

212
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: the fewest big plays this season. They're just really well

213
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: coached and really well run everywhere. They're still really young,

214
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: they're still figuring some things out. They still have really

215
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: clunky halves of offensive football. But we got to get

216
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: over the Jordan Love is rising and Jordan Love is ascending. No, not,

217
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: he's top five to six, dude, Jordan Love's great period

218
00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: and a sentence.

219
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: Number three.

220
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what the heck to do with The

221
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: Colts only lost to the Rams, and they outplayed them

222
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: at so far, and they've gotten better since then, maybe

223
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: by a touchdown. I mean, I think teams now are

224
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: quitting against them. They are so physically dominant. It's the

225
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: best offensive line along with Detroit. I've seen they're mashing people.

226
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: They're just dominating people. Pittman and Pears and Warren and

227
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. You have to sign Daniel Jones to an extension.

228
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're the third best team, but

229
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: all the numbers tell you they're squashing people. It's like

230
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: physically they're just stepping on people.

231
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: I'll put them at three for now. Number two.

232
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has got more big game experience. AJ Brown didn't

233
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: play shocker best performance of the year. I think Philadelphia

234
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: gets a not over Indy because they've got more guys

235
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: that have played in big games, and as we get

236
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: closer to Thanksgiving, that stuff matters.

237
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: So they're six and zero.

238
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: When Saquon Barkley gets fifteen plus touches, I have a recommendation.

239
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: Give Saquon Barkley fifteen plus touches. Philly a two. Number one.

240
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: I don't even think Kansas any played that great last night.

241
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was a B minus C plus performance

242
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: and they still won by three touchdowns.

243
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: I said this a few weeks ago.

244
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: They haven't had this kind of offensive talent, Rashi Rice

245
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: Clear number one, Worthy, Clever number two, Juju Perfect three,

246
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey Gray excellent, tight end production, O line still

247
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: missing people, but again one of the reasons. I have

248
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: Casey one in Philly two big game experience. That stuff

249
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: matters on fourth down, that stuff matters in the red zone.

250
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: I have Seattle at eleven, the Chargers at twelve.

251
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: Again.

252
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what in the world to do with

253
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: the Colts. I don't see him in the Super Bowl.

254
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 3: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays

00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,000

Speaker 6: Which Halloween candy is Baker Mayfield Warhead?

284
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: Very intense, but you learn to love it.

285
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, he leaves the NFL with eighty two

286
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Since joining the Bucks. He can be a

287
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: little reckless. It takes a while to get used to it.

288
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: But you know what, You down a couple of those Warheads,

289
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: You're all in.

00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 6: Which Halloween candy is Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1: He's complex, and so is this candy. The toutsy roll pop.

293
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: It's got a hardened exterior, but it's totally different inside,

294
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: completely different inside. Listen, the Steelers are going to average

295
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: twenty five a game, right, that's what they're doing right now.

296
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: That's their best in five six years. So the TUTSI

297
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: roll pop again. I'm not saying it's great for your teeth.

298
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, but the outside in the inside, it's

299
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: very complex.

300
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: It's two different candy.

301
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 6: That's a good one. Which Halloween candy is Jalen Hurtz

302
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 6: candy corn. A lot of people love it something it's

303
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 6: totally overrated. He's won twenty two of us twenty of

304
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 6: his last twenty two.

305
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: Games, so it's dependable. It's always there.

306
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: But they have one of the highest third and out

307
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: percentages in the NFL. So you're either with it or

308
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: you're not at all.

309
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,800

Speaker 1: We both love Stafford. He's old, reliable, like the Hershey bar.

312
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: You know what you're getting, right, never bad. Leads the

313
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: NFL in touchdown passes and big plays, second highest quidded passer.

314
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it goes with almost anything. A fifth round

315
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver, a fifth round running back, an undrafted left tackle,

316
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: the classic thirty seven year old still good.

317
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 6: Which Halloween candy is your guy? Caleb William? My god,

318
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 6: the butterfinger sounds good?

319
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: But is it? Yeah?

320
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it is. I mean he's nine

321
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: to fifteen. Completion percentage declined this season, ranks twenty fourth.

322
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

323
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: I used to get stuff in my teat. I'm weird

324
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: after taste. I don't know if I like it. I

325
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: like butterfinger. I finally, Collin, which Halloween candy is? Trevor Lawrence?

326
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: The staff came up with this mystery airhead? What you're

327
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: never quite sure what you just experience?

328
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: Well? What is it?

329
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: He leaves the NFL with seventy four turnovers since he

330
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: entered the league, and his record is twenty six and

331
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: forty one.

332
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: It's good, No, it's not. What is it?

333
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's talented. There's the ball over. I

334
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: don't know what to make it. Trevor Lawrence or the

335
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: mystery had hairhead?

336
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, good stuff. I can't believe you don't like candy corn.

337
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 6: Bro come on, candy corn is so good.

338
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: It's a little bit like candle wax, ChIL wax, A

339
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: little bit. How I'm a texture guy. Yeah, I can't

340
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: there's certain textures I can't do.

341
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest.

342
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 6: I'm shocked that Reese's peanut butter cups are like the

343
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 6: most popular.

344
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: By a mile. I had no clue those are I

345
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: just yeah, Wow, that's sunning.

346
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: One more Herd. The Herd streams twenty four hours a day,

347
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: seven days a week within the iHeartRadio app. Search Herd

348
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: to listen live or on demand whenever you like.

349
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: Here we go our number two on a Friday.

350
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: Blazing Five's got its own contrail right now. It is

351
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: red hot four and one, four and one, four and one.

352
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: I have been banned in last Vegas. They won't let

353
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: me off the plane.

354
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 2: I'm so hot. Welcome in. It's Halloween.

355
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: Jaymack going as Austin Rivers Reeves Austin Reeves.

356
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 6: I mean he's only carrying the Lakers right now without

357
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 6: Luca Lebron.

358
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: You know J Mack, a little J Mutch with a

359
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: gun show. But whatever you know talking about I haven't

360
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: worked out all weeks. Come on, sorry, that's a lie fire.

361
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: That's a long Listen. Last week I did something I

362
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: never do with my picks. I said I'm taking all favorites.

363
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't like favorites this week. Once again, I'm doing

364
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: something you shouldn't do, taking road favorites. They tell you

365
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: don't do that. I don't love the numbers. I like

366
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: the numbers more this week than last week. I just

367
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: end up doing well last week. So the last couple

368
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: of weeks, it's a lot of favorites, but it's been working.

369
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it again, and here we go.

370
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: Let's blaze it up.

371
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: It's Collins Blazon forty nine ers at Giants.

372
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: I like the Niners minus two and a half at

373
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: the Giants without skataboo.

374
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: Listen the Giants.

375
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: They're not playing clean football and the Niners have the

376
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: number two passing offense and the Giants pass defense stinks.

377
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: The Niners are two and zero after a loss, and

378
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: I like taking well coached teams after they played poorly.

379
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: The Niners last week not buttoned up. They're in a

380
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: bad move. No Molak neighbors, no camskataboo. For the five

381
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: losses by the Giants this year, defense isn't very good.

382
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: Have been by twelve plus points. Too many penalties, they

383
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: give up big plays and I think Mac Jones can

384
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: burn you. I like the Niners to win and cover

385
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: the spread twenty eight to twenty three.

386
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 2: Bears at Bengals.

387
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a good matchup for Chicago. I'll take

388
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: the road favorite minus two and a half. Since Week four, well,

389
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: the Bears are four and one of the Bengals are

390
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: one and five, so there's that. Bears didn't get turnover

391
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: advantages last week, but they generally do, and their offense

392
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: does lead the NFL in big plays. And the Bengals

393
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: defense this year is awful. Their last and everything but

394
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: third down defense, and they're next to last with that.

395
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: They're one and five without Burrow, they.

396
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: Don't run the ball particularly well, and Joe Flacco's banged up.

397
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: The Bears are not a great team, but they can

398
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: be very good when they get a good matchup like

399
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: the Dallas defense or the Bengals defense. I think Chicago

400
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: wins and covers the spread, final score thirty three to

401
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven.

402
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: She said Bills.

403
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: I like the over fifty two and a half points.

404
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: The over. Weather's gonna be fine. Third ranked offensive line

405
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo and the fourth ranked offensive line Kansas City, so

406
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: both quarterbacks will have time to throw five straight game

407
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: for Kansas City, scoring twenty eight or more, and they're

408
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: receiving tight end. Core is stacked number one total offense

409
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: in the last month, the Bills averaging six yards a play,

410
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: second best in the NFL. Josh Allen when he plays

411
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, he'll run it a bit more. But if

412
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: you look at the games between Mahomes and Josh Allen,

413
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: the defenses.

414
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: Struggle to make stops.

415
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a classic Buffalo Kansas City matchup. I

416
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: think Kansas City's gonna win. Take the over fifty two

417
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: and a half points Seahawks at Commanders. I'm gonna take

418
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: the Commanders plus three and a half at home. Listen,

419
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels hamstring and Laramie Tunzel hamstring both could return

420
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: second best red zone offense in the NFL, only behind

421
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: the Eagles. So if they can move the ball, they

422
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: can get touchdowns. They also run the ball effectively, and

423
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: I like that. The Seahawks are getting sloppy and a

424
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: bit reckless for me. I love Sam Darnold, but he's

425
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: gotten back to some bad habits right now. The Seahawks

426
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: offense in the last couple of games is sputtering. No

427
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: Kevin o'conddle in the building. Commanders win it, take the points.

428
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: I like Washington twenty eight to twenty seven. Cowboys Cardinals. Cowboys.

429
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Dallas minus two and a half. They're

430
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: just a very good home team, one of five teams

431
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: that hasn't lost at home. Number one scoring offense in

432
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: the league and at home. Strangely, they don't give the

433
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: ball away, only one giveaway in Dallas all year. I

434
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: just like what they do at home. Dak haven't a

435
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: really good season. Protections better than I thought, so is

436
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: the run game the Cardinals. That defense is banged up

437
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: and getting worse, allowed twenty seven plus points in back

438
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: to back games. Again, this is really I'm taking Dak

439
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: at home over a better team. Who knows who's quarterback

440
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: for Arizona, but I think they're regressing. Dallas still believes

441
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: in that building they can make the playoffs, and maybe

442
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: they can swallow the points. Dallas wins and covers twenty

443
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: eight to twenty four. So again I'm taking favorites. I'm

444
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: not prone to do that. Plus the over on the

445
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: Bills and achieves
