WEBVTT - Playoff Pandamonium with Andrew Brandt 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:08.480 From the King of sports books comes the Key Sports 0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:18.840 podcast Unleashed, presented by the MGM. Here's your hosts, Jerry 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:29.720 Ferrara and Olivia Harlan Dekker. Welcome to a niche where 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.760 we are onto the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:36.360 It is here. Wild Card weekend did not disappoint, but Jerry, 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.959 looking at the four matchups this weekend, just right off 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.599 the bat, the biggest bread is Jaguars at Chiefs eight 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:44.720 and a half points favorite in Kansas City, and then 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.000 Eagles also more than a touchdown favorite over the Giants. 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.640 I'm sorry, seven and a half. And then both Sunday 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.600 games are expected to be really good. They're expected to 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.040 be much closer. Bills are giving four and a half 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.480 forty Niners are giving three and a half. So, just 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.880 right off the bat, do your Giant stand a chance? 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.000 Do they cover? Look? I do like the Giants to 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.000 cover seven and a half in the playoff game is 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.720 a is a lot, especially with the way the Giants 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.160 have been playing. However, I don't think I've tweeted this 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.959 much since like two thousand and twelve. But the Eagles 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.640 are not the vicing. No disrespect to the Vikings is 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.120 a whole different piece that we're walking into. I don't 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.720 read much into these games, so this is gonna this 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.680 is a tall order. Those number one seated Eagles, I 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:32.560 know that's that game is going to be good. I 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.280 was surprised, obviously that was considered the one upset of 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.960 wild Card weekend. Really, I mean, Jaguars, you could say too, 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.160 obviously that come back, but you know, the Giants, We're 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.880 not supposed to win that game, and the Vikings just 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.840 kind of collapsed it. We'll get to all that. I 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.000 know you probably have a lot of thoughts. So any 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.480 good bets from this past weekend. Yeah, the weekend, yes, 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.840 Monday night not so much. But the weekend I had 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.480 another one in my I remember we discussed jumping on 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.720 those big spread teams in the ten point ties, like 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.120 I did. I basically had the Bills Niners, and then 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.800 I bumped the Giants up to plus thirteen and a half. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.280 Only really needed the points in the Bills game, which 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:13.600 I knew. I had a good feeling that I was 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.400 gonna hit. But my shining moment for the weekend, and 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.480 it might have been because I was just half asleep, 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.119 I fired in a little action on the Jaguars down 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.240 twenty seven to seven at half to win on the 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:31.679 money line. Plus so my shining, my shining moment. Yeah, 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.639 I should say, so what gave you so much hope? 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.720 What gave me hope? Is number one? That touchdown at 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.280 the end of the half really saved it for me. 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.440 If they would have went in twenty seven nothing or 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.840 even twenty seven three, if the Jags wouldn't have gotten 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.320 that t D before the half, that showed the life. 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.560 But also I am of the opinion having a twenty 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.360 seven to seven lead is probably the worst thing that 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.480 could have happened to the Chargers. Now, this is a 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.720 fan perspective, This is not excess in those I know 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:01.400 that sounds ridiculous. Explain, I don't like the Chargers nursing 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.400 a lead for a whole half. I want them aggressive. 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.440 I want them trying to come back. I want them firing, 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.160 like putting up points. And they don't really have the 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.280 run game to wind down the clock. And I think 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.160 it just played right into the Jaguars hands. And the Jaguars, 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.400 give them credit, never gave up. So uh, yeah, I 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.120 know it sounds crazy. Look, every team wants seven to 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:25.240 seven lead at half. In this case, I just don't 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.560 think it benefited the Charges as much as it would 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:33.160 other NFL teams. Anyone would take it except coach Jerry. 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.360 He's not like in that scoreboard. You know. Monday night 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.960 was the only game of the six all weekend where 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.480 the under hit. It was a high scoring weekend. It 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.400 was exciting. Yeah, there was points all weekend long. It 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.120 was a big party Monday night. I just wanted action 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.360 Monday night. So I didn't do this as like I 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.760 had some things with the Bucks money line and stuff 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.840 like that, because just thinking it might have been a 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.160 close game and maybe Tom Brady in the close game. 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.680 But no, it shows everything we saw this year was true. 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.480 They're done. It's over for them. He's done there. He's 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.080 got to be. It's got to be. I just don't 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:07.640 know how you could fix it. Maybe you will talk 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.000 to Andrew Brant about it later. Maybe he could tell 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.000 us how you would fix that for Brady to stay. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.800 I don't know, but uh yeah, and the Cowboys Niners? 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:21.280 Who is that setting up to be old school classic? Yeah? 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.479 That just sounds like a Hallmark game. Yeah, you mentioned 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.480 Andrew Brandt, former NFL executive he's joining us, he's been 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.760 on before. He's so fantastic. He's kind of one of 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.800 those guys who has a lot of hot takes and 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.800 is very strong in his convictions and says stuff that 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.920 maybe other people are scared to say. So he's a 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.960 fantastic guest. I want to say really quickly. I mentioned 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.680 that the under hit in the Monday night game Dallas 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.520 Tampa Bay. It only missed by half a point. It 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.520 was forty five and a half was the point total. 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.360 And I don't know, someone missed a lot of extra points, 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.680 so that a lot of betters that might be your 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.200 bad beat. That's got to be everyone's worst beat of 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.120 the weekend. That that was pretty tough. But I'm going 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.200 to talk more about the Brett Mayre missed extra points 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.719 in my Unleashed because I have a couple of ideas 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.800 of what the Cowboys should do before their meeting with forty. Yeah, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.440 and I'll start I'll stop arguing on Twitter about keeping 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.440 the extra point where it is. I guess I'm wrong. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.120 Still say let's move it back up to where it was. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.760 But anyway, I can't wait for your unleash. Yeah, No, 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.000 it's gonna be good. It's funny because it was like, 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.520 I mean, just the yips, the yips. My husband, as 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.479 a basketball player, talks about it. I think most people 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.320 can relate in golf. If you played golf, I've had 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:35.040 him hit a put inside five feet. Yeah. But hey, 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.360 speaking of golf, Jerry, I finally got to the Tom 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.400 Brady golf episode of Entourage that you've told me is 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.920 one you're asked about a lot. So are you gonna 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.240 have some stories for me about Tom Brady later in 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.159 the show when we get to the entreage segment. I 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.880 have stories. There's a lot that went into that episode. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.520 I'll tease it with this, and maybe some listeners might 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.880 know this because I have told this story once before. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.760 But let's just say that episode was not written for 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:04.640 Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg. It was written for others. Okay, 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.400 don't say anything, just teaser. Oh. Speaking of which, you 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.360 know how you let it slip a couple of weeks 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.200 ago what Turtle's real name is. I finally got to 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.359 that point and I was like, damn it, Jerry, that 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.160 would have been really fun to find out. I got 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.520 a great story for that too, a really emotional story 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.760 for that one. Oh gosh, Okay, well that'll be fun. Yeah. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.279 On trash segment is always later in the show, and 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.479 we've got a lot to talk about in that segment. Okay, Jerry, 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.960 let's start as we recap wild Card weekend with your Giants. 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.280 They went into Minnesota and took down the Vikings. What 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.520 was your takeaway? My biggest takeaway was Daniel Jones was 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.120 a beast. Look as a Giants fan, scary be and 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.560 I think I mentioned this last week, scary being sort 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.280 of the betting publics team. I like it when the 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.720 Giants are picked to lose by everyone and everyone's doubting name. 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.840 I want them an underdog mindset. And the Vikings came 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.560 right out and scored opening drive, and I for sure 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.960 it was like, well maybe, uh, this is one of 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.240 those games where everyone's just wrong about the Giants being 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.320 in the team to look out for. But Daniel Jones, 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.800 right from that first drive answered right back with a touchdown. 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.360 Then they answered right back with another touchdown to go 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.600 up fourteen seven. From that moment, it was game on. 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.480 It was almost like a picture throwing like a no hitter. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:22.280 I just don't even look at this guy. Just let 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.160 him keep going. I did not think he could maintain 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.840 it for a whole game. I don't know if you 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.280 ever seen Daniel Jones do it from start to finish 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.160 like that, And he did even with the Darius Slayton 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.360 throw and and dropped catch. You know, that was a 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.080 perfect throw that would ice the game. So he might 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.400 have made himself a lot of Every pass is just 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.720 like an extra million bucks that he's completing. Everybody, every 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.320 rushing yards like another two grand. Yeah, it was just 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.840 we're watching someone securing a bag in real time. I 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.840 love it. Speaking of his rushing, he had seventeen rush attempts, 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.720 which is the second most by a quarterback in playoff history. 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.440 It's like Daniel Jones looked more like Josh Allen than 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.280 Josh Allen. Yeah, and look, this is where you have 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.520 to give credit to say Kwon Barkley for all the 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.080 people out there and say you don't want to pay 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.320 a running back and get running backs and later agreed, 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:14.880 I get it, I get it. But can you get 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.880 sa Kwon Barkley in the second round, in the third 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.520 round or sign off someone's practice one? No, What I 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.040 mean by that is they built the whole offense around 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.120 the threat of sa Kwon Barkley. They had design runs 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.400 for Daniel Jones with misdirection networked because of the threat 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.040 that is se Kwon Barkley. And there's two touchdowns. I'm sorry. 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.080 There's not any old running back that could just go 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.840 get those two touchdowns like that. So yeah, it was 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.120 a great game, one of the close ones of the weekend, 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.720 But the game of the weekend may have taken place 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.160 in Jacksonville. The fifth biggest comeback in NFL history, third 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:53.240 biggest comeback in the postseason. And they were down in 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.120 the first half. Did they score touchdown right before half 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.599 that you were saying, I believe they scored a touchdown 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.880 right at the end of the half. I will double check. 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.840 I'm pretty sure because I think that's what gave me 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.360 the confidence to say, you know something, Did they were 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:11.000 down seven at half? They scored just before the end 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.240 of the half. I must have gone to bed right 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.079 before that touched pen because I was like, oh, it's done. 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.680 He threw what four interceptions Trevor Lawrence did in the 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.600 first half, three or two A Sante Samuel that must 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.560 have been his biggest target in the first half. So yeah, 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.199 I was like that's a wrap. It's over. But you 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.840 got to give Trevor Lawrence so much credit for still 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.080 taking the shots he did. When I woke up, obviously, 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.040 I watched the highlights. That's the first thing Sam and 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.400 I did in the morning, over a big cup of coffee. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.880 We were like, what the hell happened in that game? 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:44.640 And Trevor Lawrence looked so composed. He was taking gutsy 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.840 shots like he wasn't playing scared at all. And I 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.000 know he's talked a lot recently about the mental fortitude 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.160 it takes to play the quarterback position, and he completely 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.640 exemplified that. Yeah, and if you look at it, two 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.280 of the picks, one was tipped and that's still kind 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.520 of on him, you know, like the ball was tipped 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.120 and it happens all the time. You've got a bad 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.000 bounce there, and one of the other picks was clearly 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.840 interference that well with the referees. That's a whole other 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.360 conversation for maybe a whole other episode. But that being said, 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.040 he was playing terrible. I love what he said postgame 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.640 about at halftime, which just makes complete like, what, you know, 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.439 what choice did I have to not gut my way 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.600 through this, like, what other choice do I have? Give up? 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.520 And you just look at those weapons and the other 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.120 thing I was looking at as a better looking Larry. 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.600 He still has weapons. They can put up points in bunches. 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.080 Doug Peterson, that is the kind of coach I want 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.559 in that situation. Yeah, I just don't. I trust Doug 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.079 Pearson to at least make a game of it. And 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.640 they did, and I was impressive. And for going into 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.640 Kansas City with your Chiefs. Look, it would be unreal 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.400 for the Jaguars. One of the biggest upsets in playoff history. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.240 But either way, I don't think that's gonna be I 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.160 like the Jags to maybe cover that. I don't think 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.640 they the Chiefs walk through that team. Did I tell 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:05.000 you I'm working that game? You want wait? Stop? I am. Yeah, 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.280 I'm really pumped. I'm doing it with Westwood One. I'm 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.680 calling it with my dad. It's our third NFL game. 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.200 We're working together, and I'm really excited. And I came 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.720 across this stat as I've started my prep that Trevor 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.760 Lawrence has never lost a football game on a Saturday 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.520 in his life, Like going back to peewee football, He's 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:26.439 never lost a Saturday football game and they play Saturday. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.440 Just say so. You might be right, it might be close, 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.120 but I think he gets his first Saturday. Also, your 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.440 third game is your first playoff game? Or now they're 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.760 all been plays playoff game? Okay, alright, so god what 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.800 last year our game? Last year we worked was Big 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.280 Ben's final game Ben Roethlisberger. It was Steelers at Chiefs 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.480 was our last one. Now I live in Kansas City, 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.120 so I think that's why I keep getting assigned the 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.120 Chiefs to save money on travel. Local higher. I know 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.040 that's like as an actor, local higher it. Yeah, I 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.520 love it. I'd so much rather sleep in my own bed. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.240 So I'm really really excited for that one. I think 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.480 that's going to be a good game. Have you started 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.240 prepping already? I mean, I'm sure mentally you have. When 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.000 do you really start? When do you really start to 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.480 get the field? Now it's a Saturday game, so shorter week. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.880 When do you really is it? Is it today? We're 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.040 taping on the Tuesday? Is it Thursday? Where you start 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.199 getting the oh shits, here we go, let's do this. 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.080 This is actually a good question. When I get a 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.040 lot and thank god, my my background where I really 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.880 I've worked the most games in my career in college football. 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.319 Saturday's right, so I'm kind of going back to my 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.559 college football schedule. So yeah, I know, all week we've 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.080 got zooms with players and coaches, all of a couple 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.520 of calls with a couple of players and coaches, and 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.280 then yeah, we go to the game. It's on radio. 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.240 I don't know if I mentioned that's on Westwood On Radio, 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:45.480 the national radio broadcast of the game. So you're driving around, 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.400 turn on the radio, you'll hear me and my pops. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.440 But you know, it is, like I mentioned at the 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.240 top of the show, it's the biggest spread of the weekend. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.840 So Vegas is not expecting it to be a close game. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.560 But I'm just excited for a Saturday Arrowhead. I love. 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.000 You've got to go to Arrowhead, Jerry, It's I would 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.679 love to. I've I'm already starting to get goaded into 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.040 friends of mine who want to want to go to 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.480 Philly for that Giants road. You know what, I love 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.680 football and I love the Giants. I don't know if 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.120 I'm trying to go into Philly and January in a 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.960 playoff game, I don't know. All respect to the Philly fan, 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.480 but I would love to I'm more interested in going. Yeah, 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.240 I would love to go to a Chiefs game. So 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.560 maybe the next one you call, maybe I get to 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.880 uh to come there. You go. Okay, what's Bill's Bengals 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.960 that's coming up? We have not talked about that. Obviously. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:37.120 The stage is set because last time these teams played 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.679 is win Tomorrow. Hamlin was carted off the field and 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.120 the world stopped. So there's gonna be a lot of 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.640 emotion in this game. What are you expecting for this one? 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.360 It's weirdly a mirror of the NFC. Right, the NFC 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.160 you have the Cowboys Niners, And if you're the Eagles, 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.200 were the number one seeds supposed to beat the Giants, 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.199 you're looking at that game saying, I hope those two 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.240 teams just beat the ship out of each other. So 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.960 now if you're the Chiefs, who should beat the Jaguars, 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.920 you gotta look at that Bills Bengals game, like, you know, 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.559 whoever comes out of there, hopefully will have expended a 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.760 lot of energy. I worry about both these teams. I 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.120 mean the Bills. That was a weird close game, and 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.079 Josh Allen looks so good at times, but then he 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.480 just started throwing the ball around like it was a 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.240 hot potato. And I don't know if they maybe are 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.240 that aggressive with the Bengals, will see the Bengals healthwise 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.240 on the line certainly troubles me. I mean, both of 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.960 those teams easily could have lost those games if they 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.920 continued to fall asleep at the wheel. The Bengals really, 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.840 I mean, they're about to go down seven. They were 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.600 about to go down seven. And I have to agree 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.120 a little bit with Dobbins who was saying that after 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:41.560 the game, like, I just don't know how I don't 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:45.000 get one red zone touch in the whole entire game. 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.200 I mean, it's easy to say revisionist history with that fumble, 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.240 but maybe what A gave it to j K on 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.680 the first down on just to try to get in. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.600 But I like the Bills in that game, wouldn't be 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.800 shocked if the Bengals did win. But I just think 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.760 in Offfalow, with those emotions running high, I just think 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.120 that they're going to be extra fired up for that game, 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.760 and I like to I think we've been heading towards 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:11.800 this Chief's Bills match up. I agree, it feels like 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.560 it's been mounting since they last played in this round 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.080 last year, the divisional round. Last year was the last 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.000 time they based off in the playoffs, so it's it's 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:25.120 been anticipated. It's what everyone wants, of course, But listen 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:26.600 to this because you know, I've got a random stat 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.120 I'm gonna pull out of my ask. Joe Burrow is 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.480 six and oh in January, and he's eight and oh. 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.680 If you go back to L s U in January 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.960 as a starter, what do you think of that? Does 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.800 that scare you at all? Or doesn't mean again? Coming 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.880 at it from a betting perspective, I lean Bills, but 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.640 I think of all the players I would not want 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.240 to bet against, Mahomes is an easy answer because he's 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.800 but even still ma Homes sometimes it's so talented. He'll 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.800 he'll let you cover a game just because he maybe 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:59.840 got bored. Burrow is just not the dude I want 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.480 to bet against, and no matter what, no matter who's 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.600 on the other end. So I would be scared to 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.240 bet the Bills. I probably will bet the Bills, but 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.520 rooting not against but just having to go against Joe 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.120 Burrow and a betof that's just a ready I'm already uncomfortable. 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.640 I know, I know, but yeah, I'm with you. I 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.080 think that one is Bills for sure. That one seems 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.680 pretty clear to me. Okay, hats off to the NFC 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.840 East though, let's just put a bow on it. Right. 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.040 Three of the four teams left in the NFC come 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.640 from that division. That's really impressive. But somehow lost in 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.880 this weekend are the forty Niners, who continue to win 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.880 under Brock Bertie. Christian McCaffrey also had a big day 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.320 as a d Samuel. So all the stars are doing 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.320 what they're supposed to. So are the forty Niners now 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.960 the team to be in the NFC because, like you mentioned, 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.080 it is an instant classic ahead of us in their 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.480 meeting with Dallas. Yeah, I mean, odds wise to win 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.880 the NFC right now, the Niners are plus one forty 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.840 Eagles or plus one sixty Cowboys plus four fifty Giants 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.200 plus eleven hundreds. So there you go. That's who the 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.440 betting world thinks is the favorite. I do think I 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.520 do give them the slight edge, but you gotta remember 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.960 you're giving the slight edge to a rookie quarterback who 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.359 has looked fantastic. But to me, of all the teams 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.679 he went through in the regular season, and no disrespect 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.720 in that first round to the Seattle Seahawks, that was 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.160 not the legion of boom that he was up against. 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.520 You know, Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner were not there. So 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.960 I think this is gonna be a huge test, could 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.919 be a career defining test for brock Purty if he 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:32.560 loses to Dallas and that defense, are we still saying 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:35.880 build around brock Purty he's the guy, maybe, But if 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.080 he beats Dallas and looks impressive doing so, he might 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.400 really just be sealing up his future. So I'm most 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.160 excited after the Giants, of course, most excited for that game. 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:47.680 And you're a game of course I can't. I'm gonna 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:52.080 listen to your game on the radio. Yeah, it's okay. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.680 We always talk about getting hot at the right time, 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.600 so everyone has kind of written Dallas off and then 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.640 here they are getting hot at the right time. So 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:03.680 I don't know, it just makes you wonder, are they 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.920 the dangerous team? Because Dak Dak was amazing and it's 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:12.160 hard to think that Dak Prescott outshine Tom Brady and 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.800 that obviously that leads to a whole other discussion. By 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.760 the way, do you kiss your sons on the lips? 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:22.240 I do not. Okay, tom Brady a kissed his dad 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.560 on the lips after the game. I you know, I don't. 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.320 Everyone do whatever. Look, however you want to express love, 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.639 it's love, great, beautiful. I do not. I mean, they 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.320 got really cute cheeks, they got chubby cheeks. I give 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.040 them a little kiss on the cheek or a kiss 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.280 on the head. I'm a hugger. I'd give me the hug, 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.440 A good hug to me. That's enough. I want the hug. 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.320 I'll stay in the hub a little along with them. 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.240 When they're like, dad, get away, I'll stay in the hug. 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.720 I say this obviously facetiously. Your kids are babies. I 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.159 have a little baby boy. I kiss him on the 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.760 lips all the time. But people were freaking out because 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.679 Tom Brady kissed his dad on the lips. They're like 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.000 two grown men American. That's my mom said, Well, you know, 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.520 it's like Brazilian culture. I said, just because his wife 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:07.119 is Brazilian doesn't mean anyways, that's a tangent. I just 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:08.879 thought that was kind of funny. I was kidding. If 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:21.520 you thought about it, it's okay. Well you might have 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:23.520 thought that Tom Brady gets on the lips of his 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.000 dad would have been my unleash of the week. But 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:30.439 it's not. We still have to get unleashed. Jerry, you 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.560 go first. Okay. I don't know, maybe everyone else. Maybe 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:38.119 I might have missed the memo here watching football like 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.439 the rest of the world, and all of a sudden, 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.920 now we have expedited reviews. It's like, well, we looked 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.720 at it really quick, and uh, you know it's no catch. 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.000 Did you know this was coming Olivia? I didn't know 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:52.480 there's like this whole new review process that the Boots 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.240 already got the answer. We don't cut the commercial. It 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:59.800 completely screwed up my viewing experience. When I take bath 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.479 through breaks, snack breaks. Anytime I know there's a review, 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.960
