1
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where football finally is family.

2
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm Greg Rosenthal here in the Chris Wesley.

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: Podcast studio next to my friend Cynthia Freeli, and I

4
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: mentioned that because as we speak, Tom, Debbie and Walker

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: Rosenthal are in the in the back, you might have

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: a special guest at the end of the show making

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: a special pick. And so after he was NFL's most

8
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: wanted just a month ago getting booted out of the studio,

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: he's back and your parents are arriving to the facility

10
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 1: right at this time, so we should get going.

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: How are you, Cynthia.

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: You know, I'm like, you know, a little Holidays dress. Yeah,

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: we're good.

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: We're good. It is one of those days and all good.

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: If you listen to this show each and every week,

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: you know we make three picks against the spread. We

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: do Last week I sued, you know, it wasn't a

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: great week for Cynthia, wasn't a great week for both

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: of us.

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: In terms of the end of that Bears Vikings game.

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: I was very.

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: Annoyed by Rome mcdoonza when he made that fourth down catch.

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: I believe, I believe we have the graphic of our

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: of our records over the course of the season.

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: I went to in one.

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: Not a great week for you, but still you're still

27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: over five hundred for the season.

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: We're doing well.

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: I'm mad about it, and it took bigger risks and

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: you know, no risk it.

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: No biscuit, absolutely, and we're going to make it back

32
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: this week. We'll see if we have any picks on

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: the same side. Why don't you get us going?

34
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: Okay, so are all games in play?

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: If you want to know, let's skip the Thanksgiving games.

36
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: We're taping this before.

37
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: I'm more worried about whatever you are.

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: Do whatever you're Wriday and play. Sure.

39
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: Give me those darn Chiefs. Okay, it's a big number,

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: and they don't they don't like to they don't like

41
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: to cover the spread. However, I got some points as

42
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: to why number one. This is the team that beat

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: the Monk Christmas last year. They're also coming off this

44
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: Panthers game where they did not expect to have this

45
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: like game tying drive by Bryce Young to bring it

46
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 3: into overtime. I think we see like they went out,

47
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: they got another left tackle, they're mad, blah blah blah.

48
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 3: I think they cover the number.

49
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I know I don't want to pat myself on

50
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: the back. Actually I do always want to pat myself

51
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: on the back. I was, I was on the other

52
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: side of you with the Panthers last week. I didn't

53
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: feel you there. But I only bring that up because

54
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I am with you, Kier, because

55
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: the Raiders, to me, are much more of a dead team.

56
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Pearce even said it. Did you hear this one

57
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: on on Wednesday? Say it's the best team in the

58
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: league versus the worst team.

59
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: In the league.

60
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: You don't say that about your own.

61
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, like, look like last week they had

62
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: some things to go right with Gardner minshew. I mean

63
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: he had some nice throws on outbreaking around.

64
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: And now he's out and it's Aidan O'Connell again, who

65
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: did who did get that win in theory against the chief.

66
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: By not completing a pass in three in three quarters?

67
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: Don't don't let you know. Why would we want facts

68
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: to get in the way of.

69
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: A good offensive efficiency was very good for the Chiefs

70
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: last week. There's actually the defense that let them down. Okay,

71
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: so last week my number one overall pick, which cruised, yeah,

72
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: was Titans plus eight and a half. They ended up

73
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: just winning that game outright. I think this team has

74
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: been playing better than the box score and the final

75
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: score is said for a little while. I'm going back

76
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: to them with my number one overall pick this week.

77
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: This week they are plus five and a five plus

78
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: five point five in Washington. Now, Washington, maybe they gets

79
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: to win, maybe they maybe they won't.

80
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Tennessee.

81
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: Maybe they win, maybe they won't.

82
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they don't. The Titans don't need

83
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: to win this game. I wouldn't surprise me if they

84
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: won straight up. Yeah, Washington. That offense is based around

85
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: the running game and they're just not getting it going lately.

86
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, Harold Landry Sweat, who's been playing really good

87
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: Defandre Sweat as a rookie has been great, and I

88
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: think they will be able to stop the Washington run

89
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: game that makes them one dimensional. I think it's going

90
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: to be close. I actually kind of like what I've

91
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: seeing out of Will Levis. He's a bizarre player. He

92
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: almost seems to like to get tackled, you know what

93
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Like he likes to get sacked. He just

94
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: wants to feel a little paid.

95
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: Twenty times in three games, bless like you know, he's

96
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: into it.

97
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: He's into it.

98
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes in life you just need to get hit just

99
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: to feel something. But he had some big time throws

100
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: in that game. At one point he just wasn't throwing

101
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: the ball, and the announcing crew, Jay Feeley, was like,

102
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: throw it, throw it. But I think he's playing better

103
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: in his second year. I think these two teams are

104
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: pretty close when it comes to talent. I think the

105
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: lack of talent on both sides of the ball other

106
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: than Jayden and Daniels and Terry McLaurin has started to

107
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: show up. Cliff Kingsbury does not make adjustments in game

108
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: very well, much less in season. And the reason the

109
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: Titans are better than they look is because their special

110
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: teams is so bad week after weeks. So if I

111
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: lose this and they lose by more than five and

112
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: a half, I bet it's the special teams that gets me.

113
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: But I really love Titans plus five and a half.

114
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: Okay, I actually really like that one. This week too,

115
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 3: I have a three point win for.

116
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: You could go in with me if you want.

117
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: You know what, it's Thanksgiving. We have to do things

118
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: as a family here, great family unit here. So let's

119
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: go together on that one.

120
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: Okay. We were on a roll going together for a while.

121
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we did not do as well last

122
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: week with the Vikings, But I like it. Okay, So

123
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: your second pick is going to be Titans plus five

124
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: and a half. Your first pick is a big old

125
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: chief swin.

126
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: Also, can I add something to that jeez list? Can

127
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: we give a little love to Nick Westbrook Akina? The

128
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: man's had six touchdowns in seven games, so the third

129
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: most over that span of seven games. No one talks

130
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: about him. People forget no like do is maybe his

131
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: parents don't forget about it. But other than that, like

132
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: we don't talk about him enough.

133
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: So he'll go like two catches seventy yards, one touchdowns.

134
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: It seems unpredictable, but he's.

135
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: Been seven games is more than like a little unpredictable.

136
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: I like that. If you need a fantasy streamer, yeah,

137
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: next week.

138
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: Because we're going on the same side then or you know,

139
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: I also think, like you know, for for daily fantasy,

140
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: if you're playing on Sunday, you can't use any of

141
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: the four games that happened prior to that. So let's

142
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: roll with n Wi Nwi.

143
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: I like that all right, my second pick, since Tennessee

144
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: is your second pick, I'm going Seattle minus two in

145
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: New York.

146
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: What are the numbers?

147
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: Like?

148
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: So much about the Jets, Cynthia, because week after week

149
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: the number and I feel like your computer model has

150
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: been like this too, says the Jets are better than

151
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: they are, Like, why are the Seahawks only two point

152
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: favorites here? The Jets have been on fraud watch for

153
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: me and Patrick Clayban all year, and I gotta say

154
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: we might have to retire fraud watch because it's never

155
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: going to go as well as it did this year

156
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: with the Jets because they have been fraudulent. They've been terrible,

157
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks have been playing better, especially on defense

158
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: the last few weeks.

159
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 3: I don't really have any answers anymore. I the same

160
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: side of you with that, but I'm not gonna put

161
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 3: you that one because whatever. But part of the reason, like, look,

162
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: the Jets, they're good at generating outside pressure. How about that?

163
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a fact.

164
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: Maybe they've been unlucky. They've lost a lot of one

165
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: score games and so they're not quite it. They're not

166
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: as bad as the record says they are. They're a

167
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: three to eight team right now, but they're not good.

168
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: And I actually think the Seahawks are a different team,

169
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: correct and the one that we saw before. Thereby, the

170
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: defense is playing better and better each and every week.

171
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: They're stopping the run really well, and Bresee Hall is

172
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: missing practice early this week and it's setting up those

173
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: long yardage situations and that's where Mike McDonald sends those

174
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: crazy blitzes. And I can just imagine Aaron Rodgers just

175
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: making a lot of throwaways, a lot in the dirt

176
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: and some sacks and it's the Gino Smith revenge game too.

177
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: Love it. You know you know what Black Friday is

178
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: known for. Deals? Oh you know what kind of deal

179
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: you can get right now? And if you think that

180
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: the Seahawks are going to win the NFC West deal

181
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: deal deals limited time only get plus odds on the

182
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: Seahawks to win the Divisionoo. Look, the Cardinals do have

183
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: two like they're they're in there, they're ahead, but they

184
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: also have a couple things too, easier games than the Seahawks. However,

185
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: Seahawks defense is improving right about the right time. That's

186
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: why you get the discount on it. I don't know,

187
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: could be worth the upside.

188
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: I think there are more talented team. They're a sneaky

189
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: talented team. The Jets, Yeah, they could have kept Gino

190
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: all those years ago. The Giants, they could have kept

191
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: Gino all those years ago. And he's coming in as

192
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: an unquestioned top ten quarterback while Rogers is getting blasted

193
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: and probably in those last few games as a Jet.

194
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: All right, we're going to try to move this to

195
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: you here, look.

196
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: At you, like, let's bring out his career already, you know.

197
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: Even as a Jet. Maybe he'll get a job next year.

198
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: But can we talk about the fact that there's one

199
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 3: team I think that is Okay, I'm gonna make sure

200
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: that I have I have the wrong. I think that

201
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 3: the Rams are in really good shape this week, okay,

202
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: on the road in New Orleans. I just really like

203
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: the Rams.

204
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: Why oh they are what a three and a half

205
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: point favorite.

206
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: I've seen three that's what?

207
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: Okay, three works? What works?

208
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: Point being number one? They've got too many weapons and

209
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: let's just make it really simple. The Saints defense, despite

210
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: being reinvigorating by their toilet clogging interim head coach, they

211
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: have not been able to tackle anyone. They're not consistent tacklers.

212
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: Marshaun Lattimore isn't walking through that door. He's up in

213
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: Washington and he's not even playing for Washington right now.

214
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 3: Just throw it away, like Matthew Stafford's not gonna be like, hey, Tyron, Matthew,

215
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: let's have no one's throwing to him. He's got like

216
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 3: the fourth lowest target rate for any safety in the

217
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 3: league this year. There's just too many different options. You

218
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: got Cooper Cup, you got Pooka Nukui, you got Kyron Williams.

219
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: You got a lot of different things going on in

220
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: this matchup, and I don't think that the Saints defense

221
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 3: has enough horses to handle it. And there's no Chris

222
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: Alavey on the other side. I just don't think like

223
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: the equation of mvs. Plus Taysom Hill, who's been good,

224
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: plus Alvin Kamara is anywhere near as compelling as Matthew

225
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: Stafford throwing to the guys I already mentioned and also

226
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: running the football with Kien Williams.

227
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: Plus they've had the bye week.

228
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: Maybe like the excitement over Rizzy ball As kind of

229
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: died down during that buy they.

230
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: Just go back to them.

231
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: We'll be honest, I kind of hope.

232
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 2: So they're two wins.

233
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: We're against a Falcons team which is sinking in a

234
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: game they probably should have lost, in a Browns team

235
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: which was a good win and it was tied in

236
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I'm with you, I really like that,

237
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: and it's minus two and a half where I'm looking here, fantastic,

238
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: So I don't want to take a better same idea

239
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: is for me is going to be my third pick.

240
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: This one hurts me, especially with my dad Tom watching

241
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: on and my son Walker about to come up here and.

242
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: What make a guess pick?

243
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm taking the Colts minus two and a

244
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: half as my third pick over the Patriots in Foxborough.

245
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: Little known fact.

246
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: First ever football game I attended in person, and the

247
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: last one for about twenty years after that until I

248
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: went to college was Colts Patriots. Doug Flutie had an

249
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: end around for the Patriots to beat the Colts. I

250
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: was there. I was there with my dad Tom there.

251
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: But this Patriots team stinks. They're about as bad as

252
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: some of those Dick McPherson Rod Rust teams. The difference

253
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: is they have a great young quarterback and that's it

254
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: makes me a little anxious about picking against him at home.

255
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: But I think these two teams are at different places

256
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: in their season. I think the Colts defense has been

257
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: trending up since DeForest Buckner came back. Actually, they competed

258
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: really well against the Lions last week. If you watched

259
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: that game. I think Anthony Richardson is trending up. I

260
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: know it didn't show in the stats. I think he's

261
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: played really well two weeks in a row and some

262
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: bad luck in last week's game. And I look at

263
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: this Patriots coaching staff. I do not think they know

264
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: what they're doing. I think they're poorly coached on both

265
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Tons of penalties, mental errors, and

266
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: smart coaches are taking advantage of predictive, predictabile defenses that

267
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: they're running. So I think Shane Steichen in this group

268
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: is going to put it on them offensively, put up

269
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: about thirty points, and it's tough to ask Drake May

270
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: to keep up in that sort of But Drake May.

271
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: Let's give him some love because the man, he's been

272
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: really good against pressure. He has the highest rookie passer

273
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: rating again or a completion percentage against pressure.

274
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 2: Hey, now it makes me a little worried.

275
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: But when I just see two teams at different levels,

276
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: I see the Colts right in the middle of the NFL.

277
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: They are sixteenth in DVOA in terms of their defense.

278
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: That feels about right to me. The Patriots are thirty one,

279
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: thirty two to thirtieth. They're one of the worst teams

280
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: in the league, and the numbers would support that. They've

281
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: had one of the easiest schedules in the league despite

282
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: being three and nine, and it's about to get harder.

283
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: I think this Colts team they're not done in terms

284
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: of the playoff because the Texans have been struggling a

285
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: little bit. That is my son, Walker's favorite team. And yes,

286
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: after a month delay, let's bring the kid out.

287
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to.

288
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: He wanted a chance. He begged for it. He said,

289
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: I need to come in and I need to make

290
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: some picks. All right now, through the magic of editing,

291
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: this beautiful young boy has appeared here.

292
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: You can look at that camera. Walker, if you're watching on.

293
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: You want to be called a beautiful young boy?

294
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a beautiful What do you think?

295
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: Are you hands up? Are you handsome or cute? Which

296
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: would you you?

297
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 3: Handsome? And there we go.

298
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: I agree.

299
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: My son Walker nine years old, thirty nine, smartest football mind,

300
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: holy smokes.

301
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 3: Or even third grade. You're in fourth grade already.

302
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 2: And how long have you been a human Texans fan?

303
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: I know, like a year?

304
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if that's fair to

305
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: just jump.

306
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: Ship, but that's one ninth of his life.

307
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Still you still like the Patriots though?

308
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: Kind of right? You like the Rams? Why did the

309
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Texans become your favorite team?

310
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 4: Because I like CJ. Shat in the way he plays?

311
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, guy knows ball.

312
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: He knows ball.

313
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: You wanted to make a pick, and you have a

314
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: chance actually to go into first place on the show,

315
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: because if you get this pick right, you would be

316
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: one to note. Now, the flip side of that is

317
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: you will be in last place. If you don't get

318
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: this right, you'll be zero in one and you'll be

319
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: stuck there forever. So make sure, yes, make sure you

320
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: make a good pick. What is your pick?

321
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: No stress, You're gonna be fine either way. Goodness gracious.

322
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 5: For week thirteen, the Texans will be the jaguarse Okay,

323
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 5: because well Anderson will past rush Trevor.

324
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: Lawrence at Okay, I like that, you like that matchup.

325
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: The the Jaguars not as good up front after they

326
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: traded Cam Robinson. Any concerns though about c J. Stroud lately?

327
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: He's your fantasy quarterback. You refuse to take him out

328
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: of your lineup even though he's struggling, and you got.

329
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 3: At that's what we call.

330
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: Loyalty. I here.

331
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: Uh, he's good, but sometimes he doesn't really throw the

332
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 4: ball like he needs to work on his past time.

333
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I agree, his timing is a little bit of it.

334
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be, wouldn't it? But I mean, with all

335
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: those penalties, this is like the second most penalized team

336
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: in the league. So he's often in like really bad situations. Right,

337
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 3: he's throwing like first and twenty. That's thinks. That's no fun.

338
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: So it's not always his fault. Maybe if his old

339
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: line or a little better, wouldn't.

340
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: That be helpful?

341
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: Do anything? Do you think they connect? He connects with

342
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: Nico Collins for a touchdown. Yeah, he'll say, I'm with

343
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: you on that one big time.

344
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: When did you draft Nico Collins in your draft?

345
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 4: Third run?

346
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and a lot of people do too. A

347
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: lot of people thought that was too early. How has

348
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: that worked out?

349
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: Have you been enjoying that?

350
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you been enjoying that?

351
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 4: Well? I wish he wouldn't get hurt.

352
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's back now and he's playing well. There

353
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: anything more you want to say about this Texans.

354
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: Jaguars really, any match to give our.

355
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: Listeners or any matchup you know, to to help them

356
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: make their picks, because I think they're going to listen

357
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: to you Walker totally.

358
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 4: I think the Jaguars will be really, really bad.

359
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: Why.

360
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they're coming off a bye no more Mac Jones.

361
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: Initially you were like, I'm picking against them because it's

362
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, but it is going to be Trevor Lawrence.

363
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: It's a division matchup. You think they're going to be bad.

364
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: You think they'll fire their coach if they if they

365
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: lose to the Tech.

366
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: You stop making him click bait. I mean maybe not

367
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: this week, okay, but probably at the end of season. Right.

368
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

369
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: Do you think Bill BELLI will you like the Jags

370
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: if Bill Belichick goes there? Okay? Just making sure I listen.

371
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: I want to understand where we stand here.

372
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: They're at division rival right, Yeah, can't handle that. It's

373
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: great to have you on the show.

374
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: Thank you. Wait do you think your sister's team will win.

375
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: They played New Orleans. Yeah, yeah, Rams being or good.

376
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: I'm glad he's on my side of that.

377
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: Cynthia.

378
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cynthia was backing them big time. He probably was thinking,

379
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Fantasy League. I mean, you can

380
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: you could say I'm putting stress on him. There's no

381
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: extra stress that I'm putting on him that he doesn't

382
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: put on himself.

383
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: If like when they when it's not going.

384
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 3: Well, like all stressed parents that put on stress, kids.

385
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: Say, if the fantasy game's not going well, what what

386
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: do you do?

387
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: I be that, Yeah, you just turn the game. You're like,

388
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: I'm just going to bed.

389
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to bed.

390
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to my room.

391
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: When the Steelers had an interception, remember, you're just like,

392
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: I can't watch this anymore it happens.

393
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 3: I mean I kind of understand.

394
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: I get it, all right, buddy, you got to tell

395
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: all the kids in your fourth grade class that you

396
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: were on NFL daily, but only tell him if the

397
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: Texans win, right.

398
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, No, he can tell him before because he's

399
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: so confident because he knows what he's talking about.

400
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: One of the things I try to do as a

401
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: parent is remind Walker like, if you are winning at

402
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,720

Speaker 1: got to tell people about it, right, You got to

404
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: celebrate otherwise they might not know that you're winning.

405
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: All right, That is it.

406
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,320
