Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. Welcome everybody to the Season

00:00:25,706 --> 00:00:29,706
Speaker 1: with Peter Schreger. We are here. The NFL season has begun.

4
00:00:31,706 --> 00:00:35,426
Speaker 1: Kickoff is obviously Thursday night. If you're listening to this

5
00:00:35,506 --> 00:00:38,026
Speaker 1: on Friday or Saturday or Sunday, you already know the

6
00:00:38,026 --> 00:00:40,866
Speaker 1: outcome to Thursday night's game. We are recording this podcast

7
00:00:40,906 --> 00:00:44,506
Speaker 1: on Thursday morning, and I'm talking with grave tones in

8
00:00:44,546 --> 00:00:47,546
Speaker 1: a very serious way, because well, if you listen to

9
00:00:47,546 --> 00:00:49,746
Speaker 1: the Season with Peter Schreger, it's not just twenty two weeks,

10
00:00:50,346 --> 00:00:52,786
Speaker 1: it's fifty two weeks. We do this thing every single

11
00:00:52,826 --> 00:00:55,746
Speaker 1: week because the season is all year. There is no

12
00:00:55,826 --> 00:00:58,426
Speaker 1: off season in the NFL. Every time a player coughs

13
00:00:58,466 --> 00:01:01,346
Speaker 1: or hiccups, we talk about it. Anytime we are in

14
00:01:01,346 --> 00:01:03,386
Speaker 1: the off season. It's the best time for us to

15
00:01:03,386 --> 00:01:07,866
Speaker 1: get coaches and gms to speak unfiltered with that becomes

16
00:01:08,026 --> 00:01:12,346
Speaker 1: an all encompassing three sixty view of the NFL. You

17
00:01:12,386 --> 00:01:16,186

Speaker 2: Oh, I'm I'm ready.

22
00:01:23,026 --> 00:01:26,146
Speaker 3: I'm you know, I've calmed myself down a little to

23
00:01:26,146 --> 00:01:28,666
Speaker 3: give maybe some hot takes, I don't know. I want

24
00:01:28,666 --> 00:01:31,506
Speaker 3: to see how you're looking at the future and what

25
00:01:31,546 --> 00:01:32,466
Speaker 3: I see differently.

26
00:01:32,586 --> 00:01:35,226
Speaker 1: Let me talk some shit right now? Can I talk

27
00:01:35,306 --> 00:01:35,706
Speaker 1: some shit?

28
00:01:36,426 --> 00:01:37,066
Speaker 2: Go off?

29
00:01:37,226 --> 00:01:40,986
Speaker 1: Okay? They talk that talk. There are a million pregame

30
00:01:41,026 --> 00:01:44,386
Speaker 1: shows out there. I'm on two of them, and these

31
00:01:44,426 --> 00:01:48,706
Speaker 1: guys give their Super Bowl picks and it's like Eagles

32
00:01:48,706 --> 00:01:52,706
Speaker 1: play the Bells BAH, or Chiefs play the forty nine

33
00:01:52,786 --> 00:01:56,746
Speaker 1: Ers BAH, and like, I need depth. I need to

34
00:01:56,786 --> 00:01:59,506
Speaker 1: know what your playoff teams are. I need to know

35
00:01:59,546 --> 00:02:02,266
Speaker 1: who your offensive Rookie of the years are. I need

36
00:02:02,306 --> 00:02:04,826
Speaker 1: to know who your MVP is. I need to know

37
00:02:05,186 --> 00:02:07,426
Speaker 1: which team makes the playoff that didn't make the playoffs

38
00:02:07,466 --> 00:02:09,386
Speaker 1: last year, which team doesn't make the playoffs that did

39
00:02:09,386 --> 00:02:10,946
Speaker 1: make the playoffs last year. I want to know your

40
00:02:10,986 --> 00:02:13,266
Speaker 1: coach of the year. That's the stuff I'm here for.

41
00:02:13,346 --> 00:02:16,346
Speaker 1: I want to go deep. Super Bowl picks. Everyone had

42
00:02:16,386 --> 00:02:18,586
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl pick. My son made a Super Bowl pick.

43
00:02:18,586 --> 00:02:20,306
Speaker 1: You know, my son, Mel said to me. I said,

44
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:21,786
Speaker 1: mal I gotta pick a Super Bowl pick. What's you

45
00:02:21,786 --> 00:02:24,546
Speaker 1: suer pick? He said, Daddy, I think the Giants are

46
00:02:24,586 --> 00:02:26,546
Speaker 1: going to play the Lions. I said, well, that's impossible.

47
00:02:26,586 --> 00:02:30,306
Speaker 1: But you know what, you know what, Son, you might

48
00:02:30,426 --> 00:02:32,906
Speaker 1: be right. When you compare yourself to all the other

49
00:02:32,946 --> 00:02:35,306
Speaker 1: pundits out there who just throw two teams at a wall,

50
00:02:36,106 --> 00:02:38,386
Speaker 1: they might realign the conferences for you. Baby, I'm not

51
00:02:38,426 --> 00:02:41,706
Speaker 1: going to stop you. This is your world, this is

52
00:02:41,746 --> 00:02:44,346
Speaker 1: the Prediction episode. You can turn it off if you

53
00:02:44,346 --> 00:02:47,866
Speaker 1: don't care, or you can listen and you can play along,

54
00:02:48,346 --> 00:02:53,586
Speaker 1: and you can tweet us. I'm at p shrigs pschrgs.

55
00:02:53,706 --> 00:02:56,146
Speaker 1: But everyone in the world makes a Super Bowl pick

56
00:02:56,186 --> 00:02:57,986
Speaker 1: and then they kind of vanish into the shadows and

57
00:02:57,986 --> 00:03:00,106
Speaker 1: everyone worries about it. I make my Super Bowl pick.

58
00:03:00,106 --> 00:03:02,546
Speaker 1: I pin it to the top of my profile, and

59
00:03:02,586 --> 00:03:05,306
Speaker 1: with great humility, I tell you I have been right

60
00:03:05,386 --> 00:03:07,306
Speaker 1: the last several years. I had the Chiefs last year,

61
00:03:07,306 --> 00:03:09,186
Speaker 1: I had the Rans. Before that, I had the Buccaneers

62
00:03:09,986 --> 00:03:11,706
Speaker 1: before that, I had the Chiefs when they beat the

63
00:03:11,746 --> 00:03:13,586
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. I take a lot of pride in this.

64
00:03:13,666 --> 00:03:15,546
Speaker 1: I live and I breathe it. But it's not just

65
00:03:15,546 --> 00:03:17,666
Speaker 1: gonna be Super Bowl picks. Aaron, are you ready to

66
00:03:17,666 --> 00:03:18,466
Speaker 1: make some picks with me?

67
00:03:18,826 --> 00:03:20,626
Speaker 2: I am all set. Let's go.

68
00:03:20,786 --> 00:03:23,706
Speaker 1: Okay, I've thrown off the what they call these the cans.

69
00:03:23,746 --> 00:03:29,906
Speaker 1: I've thrown off. Cans are off, gloves are off. Let's

70
00:03:29,906 --> 00:03:35,906
Speaker 1: start with some insignificant awards. These are just to get

71
00:03:35,906 --> 00:03:40,866
Speaker 1: our feet wet. All right, all right, NFL Offensive Rookie

72
00:03:40,866 --> 00:03:42,786
Speaker 1: of the Year. I'm going with Jamiir Gibbs of the

73
00:03:42,826 --> 00:03:45,466
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. If you're watching this on Friday morning, Gibbs

74
00:03:45,466 --> 00:03:47,706
Speaker 1: probably already put up one hundred yards. And on Thursday night,

75
00:03:47,986 --> 00:03:49,666
Speaker 1: if you're watching this on Thursday going into the game,

76
00:03:49,706 --> 00:03:51,706
Speaker 1: pick them up in all your fantasy leagues. I am

77
00:03:51,746 --> 00:03:54,226
Speaker 1: doing this on the strength of speaking with the GM

78
00:03:54,386 --> 00:03:57,146
Speaker 1: on this very show earlier this summer, when he described

79
00:03:57,226 --> 00:04:02,786
Speaker 1: Jamiir Gibbs as an elite positionless weapon. When I made

80
00:04:02,826 --> 00:04:06,226
Speaker 1: the pick of Jamiir Gibbs to start Good Morning Football

81
00:04:06,266 --> 00:04:09,306
Speaker 1: on twenty fourth as like my breakout player of the

82
00:04:09,346 --> 00:04:10,946
Speaker 1: of the next few weeks. People are like really a

83
00:04:10,986 --> 00:04:13,506
Speaker 1: running back, and now it's almost like commonplace. Everyone's in

84
00:04:13,546 --> 00:04:15,506
Speaker 1: on Gibbs, So no way he can let up to

85
00:04:15,546 --> 00:04:17,506
Speaker 1: the hype, right I think he can. I think that

86
00:04:17,586 --> 00:04:19,866
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator, is gonna use him in

87
00:04:19,906 --> 00:04:21,386
Speaker 1: a way that we don't see a lot of running

88
00:04:21,386 --> 00:04:22,866
Speaker 1: backs in their first year US. I think he's gonna

89
00:04:22,866 --> 00:04:24,746
Speaker 1: play runningack. I think he's a play wide receiver. I

90
00:04:24,746 --> 00:04:27,786
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be used in all sorts of different packages.

91
00:04:28,066 --> 00:04:30,226
Speaker 1: And I think he puts up the stats. Yes, but

92
00:04:30,266 --> 00:04:32,266
Speaker 1: he also helps make this Lions offense one of the

93
00:04:32,306 --> 00:04:34,546
Speaker 1: best in the league. I wouldn't be shocked if Detroit

94
00:04:34,586 --> 00:04:37,066
Speaker 1: finishes the year with the number one ranked offense and

95
00:04:37,146 --> 00:04:40,866
Speaker 1: Jamier Gibbs is their jack of all trades, their Swiss

96
00:04:40,946 --> 00:04:43,986
Speaker 1: Army Knife, their Deebo Samuel, their Jaysom Hill, whatever you

97
00:04:43,986 --> 00:04:46,186
Speaker 1: want to say. I think the Lions are winning the

98
00:04:46,266 --> 00:04:48,906
Speaker 1: NFC North, and I think Jamiir Gibbs is a breakout star.

99
00:04:49,226 --> 00:04:52,426
Speaker 1: Jamiir Gibbs is my Offensive Rookie of the Year, Aaron

100
00:04:52,466 --> 00:04:56,586
Speaker 1: Wan Kaufman, your selection for Offensive Rookie the Year is the.

101
00:04:56,106 --> 00:04:58,586
Speaker 2: Drummell Anthony Richardson.

102
00:04:58,946 --> 00:05:00,866
Speaker 1: I know I'm not big boy. I no, I love

103
00:05:00,906 --> 00:05:01,106
Speaker 1: it go.

104
00:05:01,586 --> 00:05:04,826
Speaker 3: I know you don't want to pick a rookie who's

105
00:05:04,826 --> 00:05:08,066
Speaker 3: on a bad team. I know that Gibbs is gonna

106
00:05:08,106 --> 00:05:11,866
Speaker 3: have so many more wins. And Zay Jones another popular pick.

107
00:05:11,906 --> 00:05:14,346
Speaker 2: And I know you say.

108
00:05:14,266 --> 00:05:16,066
Speaker 1: Flowers, say Flowers, I'm gonna pick you up.

109
00:05:16,146 --> 00:05:17,866
Speaker 2: Yes, say Flowers.

110
00:05:17,866 --> 00:05:18,866
Speaker 1: Not a rookie, go on.

111
00:05:19,746 --> 00:05:21,986
Speaker 3: Zay Flowers has a ton of buzz as well, and

112
00:05:22,026 --> 00:05:24,906
Speaker 3: he could be a good proxy for the Ravens offense

113
00:05:24,946 --> 00:05:29,066
Speaker 3: doing well. I'm going with Richardson because when Kyler won

114
00:05:29,106 --> 00:05:32,106
Speaker 3: Offensive Rookie of the Year, he had thirty seven hundred

115
00:05:32,106 --> 00:05:36,346
Speaker 3: passing yards, twenty passing touchdowns, twelve interceptions, five hundred rushing yards.

116
00:05:36,386 --> 00:05:36,706
Speaker 1: Okay.

117
00:05:37,226 --> 00:05:40,706
Speaker 3: Last season, the Colts quarterbacks, the collection of Matt Ryan,

118
00:05:40,866 --> 00:05:44,506
Speaker 3: sam Ellinger Nick Foles threw for thirty eight hundred yards,

119
00:05:44,586 --> 00:05:46,986
Speaker 3: seventeen touchdowns, and twenty interceptions.

120
00:05:47,106 --> 00:05:50,986
Speaker 2: Okay, I think the wide receiver group could allow that.

121
00:05:51,266 --> 00:05:55,546
Speaker 3: Another thing with Kyler when he won in nineteen, second

122
00:05:55,546 --> 00:05:58,986
Speaker 3: place was Josh Jacobs, who had eleven hundred yards, seven

123
00:05:59,066 --> 00:06:03,546
Speaker 3: touchdowns and one hundred and sixty six receiving yards. Aj

124
00:06:03,786 --> 00:06:06,906
Speaker 3: Brown was third in voting with fifty receptors, fifty two

125
00:06:06,986 --> 00:06:11,106
Speaker 3: receptions over a thousand yards and eight touchdowns, and Miles

126
00:06:11,106 --> 00:06:15,186
Speaker 3: Sanders had eight hundred rushing yards and five hundred receiving yards.

127
00:06:15,426 --> 00:06:19,146
Speaker 3: I feel like Bijon and Gibbs will cannibalize each other.

128
00:06:19,466 --> 00:06:24,946
Speaker 3: I think that Zay and Addison and JSN they might can't.

129
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:28,146
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I.

130
00:06:28,026 --> 00:06:30,826
Speaker 3: Think Richardson is gonna stand like, gonna have a nice

131
00:06:30,906 --> 00:06:33,066
Speaker 3: second half of the season, and I think he is

132
00:06:33,146 --> 00:06:36,706
Speaker 3: going to maybe not get thirty five hundred passing yards,

133
00:06:36,706 --> 00:06:39,066
Speaker 3: but he could get i don't know, six seven hundred

134
00:06:39,146 --> 00:06:41,666
Speaker 3: rushing yards, like they could really push it. And I

135
00:06:41,706 --> 00:06:46,866
Speaker 3: think Gibbs that whole offense is already good. We know that,

136
00:06:46,906 --> 00:06:49,946
Speaker 3: and if the Colts do well, it's because of Richardson.

137
00:06:50,026 --> 00:06:52,026
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go out on a limb, which feels

138
00:06:52,026 --> 00:06:54,226
Speaker 3: weird to say with a quarterback being the offensive Rookie

139
00:06:54,226 --> 00:06:55,586
Speaker 3: of the Year, but I'm gonna go out on a

140
00:06:55,626 --> 00:06:58,426
Speaker 3: limb and say Richardson wins Offensive Rookie of the Year.

141
00:06:58,466 --> 00:07:00,226
Speaker 1: Broke, I tell you something, Yeah, that might have been

142
00:07:00,266 --> 00:07:01,746
Speaker 1: your best three minutes ever on the podcast.

143
00:07:01,746 --> 00:07:04,786
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you something that's that's my most reach

144
00:07:05,266 --> 00:07:06,066
Speaker 3: for the whole day.

145
00:07:06,586 --> 00:07:09,226
Speaker 1: Delivered Like I thought you were gonna come in and

146
00:07:09,226 --> 00:07:11,346
Speaker 1: be like, nah, you know, maybe Bryce, young dude, that

147
00:07:11,466 --> 00:07:14,786
Speaker 1: was great. No, I'm really impressed. Right now we are

148
00:07:14,826 --> 00:07:18,386
Speaker 1: in regular season mode. Dude, Okay, great defensive rookie of

149
00:07:18,386 --> 00:07:23,346
Speaker 1: the year. Jalen Carter is the overall favorite everywhere. I

150
00:07:23,346 --> 00:07:26,026
Speaker 1: think he's probably gonna win Rookie of the Year. But

151
00:07:26,106 --> 00:07:29,226
Speaker 1: that's not fun. So I'm gonna give you another defensive player.

152
00:07:29,266 --> 00:07:31,426
Speaker 1: And I'm already changing my pick from Good Morning Football,

153
00:07:31,426 --> 00:07:34,666
Speaker 1: where I picked Brian Berzi earlier this week. I'm gonna

154
00:07:34,666 --> 00:07:36,706
Speaker 1: give you another Detroit Lion, and it's not their first

155
00:07:36,826 --> 00:07:40,146
Speaker 1: round pick, Jack Campbell. I think Brian Branch, the heat

156
00:07:40,226 --> 00:07:43,586
Speaker 1: seeking missile safety for the Detroit Lions, is going to

157
00:07:43,626 --> 00:07:45,986
Speaker 1: garner aate a lot of attention and might very well

158
00:07:46,026 --> 00:07:49,186
Speaker 1: be our defensive rookie of the Year again, Lions. I'm

159
00:07:49,226 --> 00:07:50,586
Speaker 1: all in on the Lions this year. I think they're

160
00:07:50,586 --> 00:07:53,306
Speaker 1: gonna go big and be on national TV. And I

161
00:07:53,346 --> 00:07:54,946
Speaker 1: think all these guys are gonna be household names, whether

162
00:07:54,946 --> 00:07:57,106
Speaker 1: it be Adrian Hutchinson, whether it be i'm Mon Ross

163
00:07:57,146 --> 00:08:00,506
Speaker 1: nine Brown. But the two rookies, Gibbs and Branch, both

164
00:08:00,506 --> 00:08:02,986
Speaker 1: of them out of Alabama, I think are gonna be outstanding.

165
00:08:03,106 --> 00:08:06,426
Speaker 1: I'm going Brian Branch as my late audible from Brian

166
00:08:06,906 --> 00:08:08,866
Speaker 1: and Jalen Carter. I am now going with my third

167
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:12,506
Speaker 1: pick as my first pick on the podcast. Brian Branch

168
00:08:12,746 --> 00:08:16,066
Speaker 1: is my defensive Rookie of the Year. Aaron, I don't

169
00:08:16,106 --> 00:08:18,026
Speaker 1: know how passionate you are on Defensive Rookie of the Year,

170
00:08:18,026 --> 00:08:19,786
Speaker 1: but let's see if you can follow up that offensive

171
00:08:19,826 --> 00:08:20,626
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year spiel.

172
00:08:20,586 --> 00:08:24,226
Speaker 3: All right, So, I think with defensive Rookie of the Year,

173
00:08:24,266 --> 00:08:27,226
Speaker 3: you need splashy plays. You need big moments that people

174
00:08:27,266 --> 00:08:30,226
Speaker 3: are gonna see. It doesn't necessarily have to be like

175
00:08:30,346 --> 00:08:34,146
Speaker 3: nationally televised games, but you need big moments. And I

176
00:08:34,186 --> 00:08:38,706
Speaker 3: think Emmanuel Forbes for Washington, the cornerback is gonna have

177
00:08:38,746 --> 00:08:43,786
Speaker 3: some big, big plays because he's gonna play against good receivers,

178
00:08:43,786 --> 00:08:46,466
Speaker 3: so he's gonna be guarding talented players. And I think

179
00:08:46,786 --> 00:08:50,746
Speaker 3: he has enough, like ball howking ability to come out

180
00:08:50,786 --> 00:08:55,546
Speaker 3: and like do some flashy things. So I think Forbes

181
00:08:56,026 --> 00:08:58,506
Speaker 3: is like kind of a little dark horse. Again, Will Anderson,

182
00:08:58,586 --> 00:09:00,986
Speaker 3: Jalen Carter, they're probably the top of most people's list.

183
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:02,906
Speaker 2: I'd like to see Forbes want it.

184
00:09:02,946 --> 00:09:07,146
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's go onto the next award NFL

185
00:09:07,426 --> 00:09:09,586
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year why don't you start us off

186
00:09:09,666 --> 00:09:11,826
Speaker 1: your NFL Coach of the Year. Now, remember to give

187
00:09:11,866 --> 00:09:16,306
Speaker 1: you some backstory. Most years, if you're listening, you know this.

188
00:09:16,746 --> 00:09:18,866
Speaker 1: It's not the team with the most wins, it's not

189
00:09:18,906 --> 00:09:21,666
Speaker 1: the established name. It's the team that makes the biggest leap,

190
00:09:21,866 --> 00:09:25,586
Speaker 1: and it's usually a younger first year guy. Belichick's only

191
00:09:25,626 --> 00:09:27,946
Speaker 1: won Coach of the Year three times. I believe Brian

192
00:09:28,026 --> 00:09:29,906
Speaker 1: Dable won it last year, and in recent years, Kevin

193
00:09:29,946 --> 00:09:33,026
Speaker 1: Stefanski has won. Matt Naggi has won this award. Sean

194
00:09:33,106 --> 00:09:36,106
Speaker 1: mcvayh has won this award. Aaron, who do you got?

195
00:09:36,466 --> 00:09:38,746
Speaker 3: I Am going to complete opposite direction from you, and

196
00:09:38,786 --> 00:09:41,786
Speaker 3: I'm going with Mike Tomlin. I think that the Steelers

197
00:09:42,346 --> 00:09:44,626
Speaker 3: have looked really good in preseason. I think the offense

198
00:09:44,666 --> 00:09:46,506
Speaker 3: and defense are both going to be better than they

199
00:09:46,506 --> 00:09:49,426
Speaker 3: were last year. And I don't think it's going to

200
00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:52,426
Speaker 3: be necessarily any one player, unless maybe you think, like

201
00:09:52,786 --> 00:09:55,306
Speaker 3: what could do defensive player of the year, And I

202
00:09:55,306 --> 00:09:57,666
Speaker 3: think Tomlin will sort of be the proxy for the

203
00:09:57,706 --> 00:10:00,386
Speaker 3: whole team doing well, and I think he takes home

204
00:10:00,426 --> 00:10:00,986
Speaker 3: coach of the Year.

205
00:10:01,026 --> 00:10:04,666
Speaker 1: Okay, Mike Tomlin. They were an eight win team last year.

206
00:10:04,666 --> 00:10:06,866
Speaker 1: But I don't know if Mike Tomlin has won NFL

207
00:10:06,906 --> 00:10:08,746
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. While I'm talking, google that for me.

208
00:10:08,786 --> 00:10:10,906
Speaker 1: I think that'd be amazing that after all these years

209
00:10:10,946 --> 00:10:14,066
Speaker 1: of never being under five hundred, Mike Tomlin has never

210
00:10:14,146 --> 00:10:15,626
Speaker 1: won a Coach of the Year award. If he did,

211
00:10:15,706 --> 00:10:17,546
Speaker 1: it was his first season. Has he ever won it?

212
00:10:18,106 --> 00:10:18,866
Speaker 2: Two thousand and eight?

213
00:10:19,026 --> 00:10:21,426
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the year they went Super Bowl, Mike Tomlin

214
00:10:21,466 --> 00:10:22,946
Speaker 1: did win Coach of the Year, but that has been

215
00:10:23,026 --> 00:10:25,346
Speaker 1: fifteen years already. Yeah, if my math is correct, I

216
00:10:25,386 --> 00:10:29,146
Speaker 1: think it is my coach of the year. Is that

217
00:10:29,226 --> 00:10:34,866
Speaker 1: old dog, that renegade, rebel, that maverick, that gun slinger,

218
00:10:35,586 --> 00:10:39,426
Speaker 1: the guy who does not necessarily love the NFL league offices,

219
00:10:39,746 --> 00:10:43,026
Speaker 1: does not care about your coaching code, does not care

220
00:10:43,146 --> 00:10:47,666
Speaker 1: about who coached before him, and yet has his players believing.

221
00:10:48,306 --> 00:10:49,986
Speaker 1: This could be a massive whiff. But I'm going to

222
00:10:50,026 --> 00:10:52,186
Speaker 1: bank on him, just knowing just how committed he is

223
00:10:52,186 --> 00:10:53,906
Speaker 1: to this thing. I'm gonna go Sean Payton as my

224
00:10:53,946 --> 00:10:55,666
Speaker 1: coach of the Year. I think the Broncos have a

225
00:10:55,706 --> 00:10:58,706
Speaker 1: massive increase in wins that he gets. Russell Wilson, right,

226
00:10:59,026 --> 00:11:01,186
Speaker 1: I think these players are all on the same page.

227
00:11:01,186 --> 00:11:03,706
Speaker 1: I don't think you need six time management coaches to

228
00:11:03,706 --> 00:11:06,226
Speaker 1: help him. I think he's gonna win in late game situations.

229
00:11:06,546 --> 00:11:08,666
Speaker 1: To go for an on fourth down, it's necessary, and

230
00:11:08,706 --> 00:11:10,986
Speaker 1: I think the Broncos have a massive leap and wins.

231
00:11:12,466 --> 00:11:17,306
Speaker 1: Let's go Broncos. Let's ride all that. Sean Payton is

232
00:11:17,346 --> 00:11:19,066
Speaker 1: your NFL Coach of the Year.

233
00:11:19,186 --> 00:11:19,266
Speaker 4: Now.

234
00:11:19,346 --> 00:11:21,066
Speaker 1: Whether or not the writers actually vote for him is

235
00:11:21,066 --> 00:11:23,826
Speaker 1: another thing. I don't think he's a fan. He's got

236
00:11:23,906 --> 00:11:26,026
Speaker 1: all those fans. As far as let's pick him as

237
00:11:26,066 --> 00:11:30,026
Speaker 1: some like wonderful story. He's kind of the renegade where's

238
00:11:30,026 --> 00:11:31,626
Speaker 1: the black hat? And I kind of like that. I'm

239
00:11:31,626 --> 00:11:36,426
Speaker 1: gonna go Sean Payton, all right, next award? All right,

240
00:11:36,546 --> 00:11:39,746
Speaker 1: so the NFL has Comeback Player of the Year, and

241
00:11:39,986 --> 00:11:43,186
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, if Damar Hamlin plays eighteen weeks, Damar

242
00:11:43,266 --> 00:11:46,586
Speaker 1: Hamlin's gonna be your coach, your comeback player of the year.

243
00:11:46,626 --> 00:11:48,346
Speaker 1: And I think if DeMar Hamlin even plays week one,

244
00:11:48,386 --> 00:11:51,066
Speaker 1: so we're not gonna even discuss comeback Player of the Year.

245
00:11:51,066 --> 00:11:53,106
Speaker 1: I think that's already a Damar Hamlin award to lose,

246
00:11:53,106 --> 00:11:54,386
Speaker 1: which is such a weird thing to say, Like the

247
00:11:54,466 --> 00:11:56,546
Speaker 1: only reason he won't win is if he gets cut

248
00:11:57,026 --> 00:11:59,826
Speaker 1: or if he doesn't play because of an injury, comes

249
00:11:59,906 --> 00:12:01,626
Speaker 1: moving and God forbid that he's got to go through that.

250
00:12:02,026 --> 00:12:05,306
Speaker 1: Our next award is Defensive Player of the Year. Nick

251
00:12:05,386 --> 00:12:08,266
Speaker 1: Bosa won this last year. As of right now, Nick Bosa,

252
00:12:08,346 --> 00:12:11,226
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, and Brian Burns are not with their current team,

253
00:12:11,386 --> 00:12:14,546
Speaker 1: so that complicates this thing a little bit. Looking at

254
00:12:14,546 --> 00:12:16,666
Speaker 1: some of the odds and the leaders on this thing,

255
00:12:16,706 --> 00:12:18,826
Speaker 1: there are some bigger names, but I'm gonna go with

256
00:12:18,826 --> 00:12:20,546
Speaker 1: a guy who's a little bit down the list who

257
00:12:20,546 --> 00:12:23,666
Speaker 1: I heard is absolutely dominated and blew up practices when

258
00:12:23,666 --> 00:12:25,306
Speaker 1: they did joint practice with the Rams to the point

259
00:12:25,306 --> 00:12:27,506
Speaker 1: where many people were like, this guy's an absolute beast.

260
00:12:28,146 --> 00:12:30,026
Speaker 1: He might have a huge breakout year as far as

261
00:12:30,026 --> 00:12:33,026
Speaker 1: being one of those household names. My Defensive Player of

262
00:12:33,066 --> 00:12:36,506
Speaker 1: the Year for twenty twenty three is Max Crosby of

263
00:12:36,586 --> 00:12:40,746
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. Going in that tradition of Howie

264
00:12:40,746 --> 00:12:44,746
Speaker 1: Long and Matt Millen and Charles Woodson and great defenders

265
00:12:44,866 --> 00:12:48,386
Speaker 1: of Raiders lore. I'm saying Crosby, who's got so many

266
00:12:48,426 --> 00:12:50,986
Speaker 1: tattoos of crazy things on his body that I think

267
00:12:50,986 --> 00:12:53,666
Speaker 1: there could be a documentary on it. He is a

268
00:12:54,186 --> 00:12:57,346
Speaker 1: student of the game. He's also an absolute madman, and

269
00:12:57,786 --> 00:12:59,706
Speaker 1: he's got those two x's on his name. I'm going

270
00:12:59,826 --> 00:13:02,586
Speaker 1: Max Crosby a little outside the box as my defensive

271
00:13:02,586 --> 00:13:04,146
Speaker 1: player of the Year. Aaron, who do you got?

272
00:13:04,706 --> 00:13:04,866
Speaker 4: Ah?

273
00:13:04,946 --> 00:13:06,746
Speaker 2: Well, again, I'm gonna be a little bit from you.

274
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:09,626
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go completely inside the box and I'm going

275
00:13:09,666 --> 00:13:13,066
Speaker 3: with Michael Parsons. I think he was second last year.

276
00:13:13,386 --> 00:13:18,626
Speaker 3: The Cowboys defense is incredible and we have high hopes

277
00:13:18,666 --> 00:13:20,826
Speaker 3: for the Cowboys as a team as a whole. And

278
00:13:20,866 --> 00:13:22,986
Speaker 3: if you're thinking that the defensive player has to be

279
00:13:23,026 --> 00:13:26,826
Speaker 3: someone who's on a really competitive team, I think the

280
00:13:26,826 --> 00:13:31,146
Speaker 3: Cowboys are definitely up there. And Parsons just changes the

281
00:13:31,186 --> 00:13:34,866
Speaker 3: way offenses have to deal with him every single down.

282
00:13:35,026 --> 00:13:37,986
Speaker 2: And I'm going with him. Okay, taking the crown this year?

283
00:13:38,066 --> 00:13:42,666
Speaker 1: Micah and Crosby. Okay, did you do playoff picks?

284
00:13:42,666 --> 00:13:43,946
Speaker 2: Aaron did?

285
00:13:44,106 --> 00:13:46,826
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, let's go division by division. I'll name my

286
00:13:46,866 --> 00:13:49,106
Speaker 1: division winner, you name your division winner. Here we go

287
00:13:49,586 --> 00:13:54,906
Speaker 1: with no further ado. Peter Schragers. AFC East champion is

288
00:13:54,946 --> 00:13:57,666
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. The Bills are loaded, but I've

289
00:13:57,666 --> 00:13:59,946
Speaker 1: got the Jets beating out the Dolphins, the Bills, and

290
00:13:59,986 --> 00:14:02,146
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Aaron, who do you have as your AFC

291
00:14:02,226 --> 00:14:02,826
Speaker 1: East champion?

292
00:14:03,346 --> 00:14:05,306
Speaker 3: I tried to be as unbiased as possible, and I'm

293
00:14:05,346 --> 00:14:06,586
Speaker 3: going with the Bills.

294
00:14:06,466 --> 00:14:09,586
Speaker 1: Flow Bills, Okay, the Bills. AFC North, I'm going Bengals.

295
00:14:09,626 --> 00:14:11,866
Speaker 1: Who do you got in the FC? Going with the Bengals, Okay,

296
00:14:12,066 --> 00:14:13,786
Speaker 1: AFC South, I've got Jaguars.

297
00:14:14,666 --> 00:14:15,666
Speaker 2: I'm going the Titans.

298
00:14:15,746 --> 00:14:17,586
Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about you know we do. No one picked

299
00:14:17,666 --> 00:14:19,466
Speaker 1: him on Good Morning Football. We're hearing about it. Vrabel's

300
00:14:19,466 --> 00:14:21,666
Speaker 1: a really good coach. What's the reason Titans over Jacks?

301
00:14:22,066 --> 00:14:22,466
Speaker 2: Rabel?

302
00:14:22,666 --> 00:14:26,506
Speaker 3: Rabel and Rabel and they got Hopkins and Henry is

303
00:14:27,226 --> 00:14:30,586
Speaker 3: still amazing. Like I remember, one of the first things

304
00:14:30,626 --> 00:14:32,706
Speaker 3: you and I talked about on the show last season

305
00:14:33,106 --> 00:14:36,626
Speaker 3: was how scared I was anytime I was watching Henry

306
00:14:36,746 --> 00:14:39,826
Speaker 3: play against the Bills. He's he is incredible. And I

307
00:14:39,866 --> 00:14:43,506
Speaker 3: think that Rabel just pulls the guts out of that

308
00:14:43,586 --> 00:14:46,466
Speaker 3: team no matter what. And I think by signing Hopkins,

309
00:14:46,946 --> 00:14:48,946
Speaker 3: they showed you that they're still in this to win

310
00:14:49,346 --> 00:14:52,266
Speaker 3: and they are going to compete. And you know, the

311
00:14:52,346 --> 00:14:55,906
Speaker 3: Jags are great and their defense is a little suspect,

312
00:14:55,986 --> 00:14:57,586
Speaker 3: and I think the Titans are going to beat them out.

313
00:14:58,666 --> 00:15:02,666
Speaker 1: Okay. AFC West, I've got the Chiefs who got Kansas City. Okay.

314
00:15:02,666 --> 00:15:04,746
Speaker 1: Now this is hard because we've said this, only seven

315
00:15:04,786 --> 00:15:06,306
Speaker 1: teams can make the playoffs, and you can only get

316
00:15:06,426 --> 00:15:10,066
Speaker 1: three wildcard teams. I'm sure I caught a lot of slack.

317
00:15:10,106 --> 00:15:12,346
Speaker 1: Here are my three wild card teams. I revealed these

318
00:15:12,346 --> 00:15:14,506
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football earlier in the week and have

319
00:15:14,586 --> 00:15:17,586
Speaker 1: been hearing from it from a lot of fans. The

320
00:15:17,626 --> 00:15:20,906
Speaker 1: first AFC wildcard team, I have Buffalo. The second AFC

321
00:15:20,986 --> 00:15:23,026
Speaker 1: wild card team, I have the Steelers. Like you, I

322
00:15:23,026 --> 00:15:25,066
Speaker 1: think Mike Tomlin is an excellent coach, and I think

323
00:15:25,106 --> 00:15:28,026
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett makes a leap. My third AFC wildcard team,

324
00:15:28,106 --> 00:15:29,706
Speaker 1: I'm going to go all in on Sempaygeon. They got

325
00:15:29,746 --> 00:15:31,746
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. I'm taking the Denver Broncos, which

326
00:15:31,746 --> 00:15:35,226
Speaker 1: means no Chargers, and we loved Kellen Moore on the podcast.

327
00:15:35,346 --> 00:15:39,306
Speaker 1: He was awesome. No Chargers, no Dolphins, who added a

328
00:15:39,346 --> 00:15:41,986
Speaker 1: ton and have two of the fastest wide receivers in

329
00:15:42,026 --> 00:15:46,466
Speaker 1: the sport, And of course no Ravens, which I'm let

330
00:15:46,506 --> 00:15:51,266
Speaker 1: me give you an aside here My wife is from Baltimore, Maryland.

331
00:15:51,426 --> 00:15:53,866
Speaker 1: My in laws go to every single game as season

332
00:15:53,866 --> 00:15:56,466
Speaker 1: ticket holder since they came back as an NFL franchise

333
00:15:56,506 --> 00:15:59,386
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety six. And my father in law went

334
00:15:59,426 --> 00:16:02,506
Speaker 1: to every Baltimore Colts home game from nineteen sixty seven

335
00:16:02,586 --> 00:16:05,786
Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty three and went to every Baltimore Colts

336
00:16:05,866 --> 00:16:09,146
Speaker 1: or Baltimore raven Super Bowl. My mother in law, she

337
00:16:09,346 --> 00:16:12,386
Speaker 1: goes to every game, sitting in the cold weather out

338
00:16:12,386 --> 00:16:15,106
Speaker 1: there in Baltimore in December to watch Browns Ravens. She

339
00:16:15,226 --> 00:16:18,786
Speaker 1: is there. I have never not picked the Ravens to

340
00:16:18,826 --> 00:16:20,946
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, through fear of what that might mean

341
00:16:20,986 --> 00:16:22,706
Speaker 1: in the family, but also because of what they've built.

342
00:16:22,706 --> 00:16:25,706
Speaker 1: And yet I don't know about their defense. I just

343
00:16:25,786 --> 00:16:28,066
Speaker 1: don't know about their defense. The AFC North is loaded,

344
00:16:28,586 --> 00:16:30,266
Speaker 1: and as much as I love Todd Monkin and that

345
00:16:30,306 --> 00:16:32,226
Speaker 1: new offense and I think they could get better, I

346
00:16:32,346 --> 00:16:36,386
Speaker 1: didn't put the Ravens in the playoffs. I have the

347
00:16:36,386 --> 00:16:40,586
Speaker 1: Broncos instead. Aaron your three AFC wildcard teams.

348
00:16:40,826 --> 00:16:41,066
Speaker 4: So.

349
00:16:42,746 --> 00:16:45,706
Speaker 3: I had Titans as the AFC South and I'm gonna

350
00:16:45,706 --> 00:16:49,266
Speaker 3: have the Jags as my first wild card. Like you again,

351
00:16:49,306 --> 00:16:51,986
Speaker 3: I shouted out Tomlin earlier. I've got the Steelers and

352
00:16:52,026 --> 00:16:56,306
Speaker 3: form my third. I'm not going with the Jets. I

353
00:16:56,506 --> 00:17:00,986
Speaker 3: am going with the Ravens because I think that Lamar

354
00:17:01,106 --> 00:17:06,386
Speaker 3: seems reinvigorated hopefully, and I think that offense could be really,

355
00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:09,106
Speaker 3: really excited. I mean, the Ravens got there last year

356
00:17:09,346 --> 00:17:12,266
Speaker 3: with an offense we were all tired of and without Lamar,

357
00:17:12,666 --> 00:17:15,786
Speaker 3: and I think this year they can do well. I

358
00:17:15,866 --> 00:17:18,506
Speaker 3: know that this is a lot to have Bengals, Ravens,

359
00:17:18,506 --> 00:17:20,826
Speaker 3: Steelers all in there. It happens last year we had

360
00:17:20,826 --> 00:17:25,306
Speaker 3: three MS, and I think maybe this is like again

361
00:17:25,466 --> 00:17:26,866
Speaker 3: a little too much personal bias.

362
00:17:26,906 --> 00:17:30,066
Speaker 2: I think there's so much hype on the Jets.

363
00:17:29,546 --> 00:17:31,746
Speaker 1: And their first six weeks are really.

364
00:17:31,546 --> 00:17:34,386
Speaker 3: Hard, and I think, you know what, the Monday Night game,

365
00:17:34,466 --> 00:17:36,426
Speaker 3: the Bills may not be able to pressure that offensive

366
00:17:36,426 --> 00:17:39,586
Speaker 3: line enough. But give them a couple of weeks and

367
00:17:39,666 --> 00:17:42,186
Speaker 3: let's see what that line looks like when they're playing

368
00:17:42,506 --> 00:17:47,226
Speaker 3: the Cowboys. Like I I think that things could go

369
00:17:47,386 --> 00:17:48,586
Speaker 3: wrong for the Jets.

370
00:17:48,986 --> 00:17:51,026
Speaker 2: I so I'm gonna leave them off.

371
00:17:51,426 --> 00:17:57,346
Speaker 1: You're a hater, yeah A yeah, no Dolphins, no Chargers from.

372
00:17:57,266 --> 00:18:00,546
Speaker 2: US huh no? Yeah. I love the Dolphins. You know,

373
00:18:00,626 --> 00:18:03,146
Speaker 2: I think it'd be fun to see so many.

374
00:18:03,026 --> 00:18:13,786
Speaker 1: Rooms in the end, you know what I mean. Next up,

375
00:18:13,946 --> 00:18:17,666
Speaker 1: let's go with NFC playoff teams. I'll go first in

376
00:18:17,746 --> 00:18:20,866
Speaker 1: the East, I have the Eagles. In the North, I

377
00:18:20,906 --> 00:18:23,546
Speaker 1: went with the Lions. And I know that might not

378
00:18:23,626 --> 00:18:25,386
Speaker 1: sound shocking now after two months, but if you think

379
00:18:25,386 --> 00:18:27,346
Speaker 1: about it, I'm actually picking the Lions to win the

380
00:18:27,466 --> 00:18:29,346
Speaker 1: NFC North. If someone actually put their name on it

381
00:18:29,426 --> 00:18:31,706
Speaker 1: and say it's actually gonna happen, I'm doing it. If

382
00:18:31,746 --> 00:18:33,666
Speaker 1: you haven't noticed on this podcast, I'm really all in

383
00:18:33,706 --> 00:18:38,146
Speaker 1: on the Lions. NFC South by default, the Saints. I

384
00:18:38,186 --> 00:18:42,106
Speaker 1: don't love Carolina's depth. I have to see what Desmond

385
00:18:42,146 --> 00:18:44,386
Speaker 1: Ritter can do in a big game before, not in

386
00:18:44,426 --> 00:18:46,946
Speaker 1: college obviously who's great, but in the pros before I'd say, yes,

387
00:18:46,986 --> 00:18:50,586
Speaker 1: they're division champions and Tampa big, big unknowns all over

388
00:18:50,586 --> 00:18:52,266
Speaker 1: that roster, especially in the offensive line. So by the

389
00:18:52,266 --> 00:18:54,346
Speaker 1: Saints by default. I don't love the Saints, but I

390
00:18:54,346 --> 00:18:55,906
Speaker 1: think Saints win the division and they're one of those

391
00:18:55,946 --> 00:18:57,986
Speaker 1: like nine to eight teams that do it. And then

392
00:18:58,066 --> 00:19:00,026
Speaker 1: the West, I went the Niners. Bosa will figure itself

393
00:19:00,026 --> 00:19:01,466
Speaker 1: out and if it doesn't. I think they're still good

394
00:19:01,546 --> 00:19:06,026
Speaker 1: enough wild card teams. Where it gets tricky, I'm going

395
00:19:06,786 --> 00:19:09,866
Speaker 1: on a limb here. I have one team in the

396
00:19:09,986 --> 00:19:12,306
Speaker 1: NFC East as a wild card team, and it's not

397
00:19:12,386 --> 00:19:16,506
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I have the Giants over the Cowboys this year.

398
00:19:16,586 --> 00:19:19,706
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have absolutely owned the Giants the last several seasons.

399
00:19:19,746 --> 00:19:21,426
Speaker 1: I think the Giants get over the hump this year.

400
00:19:21,466 --> 00:19:24,666
Speaker 1: I feel like times are changing. And it's not against

401
00:19:24,706 --> 00:19:27,626
Speaker 1: dan Quinn's defense. But you just waxed poetic on. I

402
00:19:27,746 --> 00:19:31,066
Speaker 1: don't know about the offense. I know Tony Pollard was great,

403
00:19:31,106 --> 00:19:33,306
Speaker 1: and I know Dak has had big moments and Ceedee

404
00:19:33,346 --> 00:19:37,466
Speaker 1: Lamb and Brandon Cook. Kellen Moore was really good. Kellen

405
00:19:37,506 --> 00:19:40,466
Speaker 1: Moore was really good. And you are saying we're putting

406
00:19:40,466 --> 00:19:43,146
Speaker 1: all our eggs in the Mike McCarthy basket. Let's see.

407
00:19:43,506 --> 00:19:46,946
Speaker 1: That's all I'll say. Let's see. I have the Cowboys

408
00:19:46,986 --> 00:19:49,786
Speaker 1: missing the playoffs. I have the Giants making it. I

409
00:19:49,826 --> 00:19:53,146
Speaker 1: also have the Vikings making it. And as my final

410
00:19:53,186 --> 00:19:56,026
Speaker 1: wildcard team, I have the Seahawks making it. So those

411
00:19:56,026 --> 00:19:59,626
Speaker 1: are my three teams. No Cowboys will cause quite a

412
00:19:59,706 --> 00:20:01,946
Speaker 1: reaction in Dallas, but I think the Cowboys missed the

413
00:20:01,946 --> 00:20:04,386
Speaker 1: playoffs this year. My apologies to all the major networks.

414
00:20:04,706 --> 00:20:05,946
Speaker 1: I know they make a lot of money when the

415
00:20:05,986 --> 00:20:07,266
Speaker 1: Cowboys are good.

416
00:20:07,906 --> 00:20:08,306
Speaker 2: All right.

417
00:20:08,346 --> 00:20:11,986
Speaker 3: So, NFC East, I've got the Eagles. I think that

418
00:20:12,106 --> 00:20:15,826
Speaker 3: we can't count them out. NFC North, I've got the Lions.

419
00:20:15,906 --> 00:20:17,626
Speaker 3: I think maybe I've been around you too much and

420
00:20:17,666 --> 00:20:20,266
Speaker 3: I have just inhaled too much of your Lions love,

421
00:20:20,346 --> 00:20:24,186
Speaker 3: and I am all in on them. NFC South, I

422
00:20:24,226 --> 00:20:29,026
Speaker 3: have the Falcons. I think for that division, the Saints,

423
00:20:29,066 --> 00:20:31,786
Speaker 3: like we love a lave. We think Derek Carr will

424
00:20:31,826 --> 00:20:34,266
Speaker 3: be good and the Saints defense is what we're really

425
00:20:34,306 --> 00:20:36,866
Speaker 3: excited about. But I think that Falcons offense is going

426
00:20:36,946 --> 00:20:40,786
Speaker 3: to be really exciting. They've spent but the past three years,

427
00:20:40,826 --> 00:20:46,066
Speaker 3: they've gotten an offensive, like really good offensive weapon every

428
00:20:46,066 --> 00:20:48,746
Speaker 3: single year in the first and I along with my

429
00:20:48,826 --> 00:20:50,706
Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year pick, I think Beijon is gonna

430
00:20:50,706 --> 00:20:52,866
Speaker 3: be great. I think he's gonna cannibalize the votes away

431
00:20:52,866 --> 00:20:54,826
Speaker 3: from Gibbs. So I think the Falcons will be the

432
00:20:54,866 --> 00:20:58,026
Speaker 3: division winners there, Okay. NFC West, I've got the forty

433
00:20:58,146 --> 00:21:01,546
Speaker 3: nine ers and then my wild cards Seahawks. I think

434
00:21:01,626 --> 00:21:04,106
Speaker 3: they will be even better than they were last year.

435
00:21:04,386 --> 00:21:08,666
Speaker 3: I have the Cowboys because I think what offense, yeah,

436
00:21:08,706 --> 00:21:09,506
Speaker 3: step back there is.

437
00:21:09,546 --> 00:21:10,426
Speaker 2: I still think they'll make it.

438
00:21:10,466 --> 00:21:13,906
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna go with the Vikings because I think

439
00:21:14,586 --> 00:21:17,386
Speaker 3: that I like Kirk Cousins a lot more now after

440
00:21:17,426 --> 00:21:18,586
Speaker 3: watching than Netflix show.

441
00:21:18,626 --> 00:21:20,186
Speaker 2: No Giants, No Giants.

442
00:21:20,306 --> 00:21:22,466
Speaker 3: So I have no New York teams except the Bills,

443
00:21:22,466 --> 00:21:24,146
Speaker 3: who are really the only true team that plays in

444
00:21:24,186 --> 00:21:24,546
Speaker 3: New York.

445
00:21:24,626 --> 00:21:29,226
Speaker 1: Beautiful MVP Most Valuable Player, Have you made your selection?

446
00:21:29,506 --> 00:21:33,226
Speaker 3: Yes, I am gonna go with a player who was

447
00:21:33,306 --> 00:21:37,146
Speaker 3: second place last year in voting, even though he sat

448
00:21:37,186 --> 00:21:40,346
Speaker 3: out a bunch of fourth quarters because his team was

449
00:21:40,426 --> 00:21:43,586
Speaker 3: just too good. And I think they might not have

450
00:21:43,626 --> 00:21:45,866
Speaker 3: that luxury this year, and he might have to play

451
00:21:45,906 --> 00:21:47,546
Speaker 3: a little more, get a.

452
00:21:47,546 --> 00:21:49,506
Speaker 2: Little more stats. And I think Jalen Hurts is gonna

453
00:21:49,506 --> 00:21:49,906
Speaker 2: win the MV.

454
00:21:50,066 --> 00:21:55,226
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, it's not Shalk, but it's it's a favorite.

455
00:21:55,506 --> 00:21:59,346
Speaker 1: I'm going a little deeper here. Usually it's become a

456
00:21:59,426 --> 00:22:02,306
Speaker 1: quarterbacks award in the NFL. Offensive Player of the Year

457
00:22:02,586 --> 00:22:06,746
Speaker 1: becomes the best skill position justin Jeffer So it was

458
00:22:06,746 --> 00:22:08,986
Speaker 1: the number two ranked player in the NFL Top one hundred.

459
00:22:09,026 --> 00:22:15,306
Speaker 1: He's not my pick. We love Jamar Chase and T Higgins.

460
00:22:15,346 --> 00:22:20,906
Speaker 1: They're not my pick, Noras Allen, Noras mahomes Nowhere, Norrisborough,

461
00:22:21,026 --> 00:22:24,426
Speaker 1: noras Aaron Rodgers, Norris Herbert. I'm going way down and

462
00:22:24,706 --> 00:22:27,906
Speaker 1: without knowing where he is on this list, I'm going

463
00:22:27,946 --> 00:22:30,626
Speaker 1: to put this player as my MVP, and I'm not

464
00:22:30,626 --> 00:22:33,026
Speaker 1: doing it to cause shock waves. I think this guy

465
00:22:33,066 --> 00:22:35,026
Speaker 1: has a truly historic season because I think they might

466
00:22:35,066 --> 00:22:39,666
Speaker 1: need him to. Christian McCaffrey is my selection for a

467
00:22:39,666 --> 00:22:43,786
Speaker 1: Most Valuable Player? Can I ask what the odds are

468
00:22:43,906 --> 00:22:47,026
Speaker 1: on Christian McCaffrey on whatever generic gambling site you're looking

469
00:22:47,066 --> 00:22:53,466
Speaker 1: at right now plus plus eight thousand, and what number

470
00:22:53,586 --> 00:22:55,746
Speaker 1: ranking is he that if you're counting, I think we're

471
00:22:55,746 --> 00:23:01,546
Speaker 1: going into the thirties, probably the twenty fifth ranked player

472
00:23:01,586 --> 00:23:03,986
Speaker 1: when it comes to mvbid. Now counter you this. No

473
00:23:04,026 --> 00:23:06,066
Speaker 1: one had Lamar Jackson a couple of years ago, no

474
00:23:06,106 --> 00:23:09,986
Speaker 1: one had Jalen Hurts last year. No one besides me

475
00:23:10,226 --> 00:23:12,626
Speaker 1: had my homes a few years back. God, you listened

476
00:23:12,626 --> 00:23:14,146
Speaker 1: to this for the first time. Who is this arrogant?

477
00:23:15,826 --> 00:23:17,946
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like the Niners Arena are

478
00:23:18,026 --> 00:23:19,786
Speaker 1: gonna roll and it's gonna be on the back of

479
00:23:20,106 --> 00:23:23,266
Speaker 1: not just that defense. I think McCaffrey's gonna have a

480
00:23:23,266 --> 00:23:27,146
Speaker 1: truly historic season, and I'm going deep on the Niners.

481
00:23:27,146 --> 00:23:29,666
Speaker 1: I think the Niners behind McCaffrey and he's gonna be

482
00:23:29,666 --> 00:23:30,066
Speaker 1: the MVP.

483
00:23:30,386 --> 00:23:33,946
Speaker 2: You're not scared off at all by Shanahan saying.

484
00:23:33,386 --> 00:23:38,786
Speaker 1: Elijah, let's go. And now the granddaddy of them all

485
00:23:38,906 --> 00:23:40,426
Speaker 1: our Super Bowl predictions.

486
00:23:40,786 --> 00:23:41,346
Speaker 4: We are.

487
00:23:42,866 --> 00:23:45,586
Speaker 1: Deep into this twenty seven minutes into this podcast, and

488
00:23:45,626 --> 00:23:49,346
Speaker 1: now we will unveil our super predictions. As I said,

489
00:23:49,706 --> 00:23:52,346
Speaker 1: I have been right several times. I've had at least

490
00:23:52,506 --> 00:23:54,906
Speaker 1: one of the right two teams every year since I

491
00:23:54,986 --> 00:23:57,866
Speaker 1: began doing this on Good Morning Football since twenty sixteen.

492
00:23:58,386 --> 00:24:01,586
Speaker 1: I will defer to you in the coin toss, Aaron,

493
00:24:01,866 --> 00:24:04,746
Speaker 1: who is your Super Bowl teams? First for VALA teams,

494
00:24:05,106 --> 00:24:06,386
Speaker 1: and then reveal it your winner.

495
00:24:07,266 --> 00:24:12,586
Speaker 3: So I think we're going to have Philadelphia and Cincinnati

496
00:24:12,746 --> 00:24:16,906
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl, which is I was glad.

497
00:24:18,146 --> 00:24:18,506
Speaker 2: I know.

498
00:24:18,706 --> 00:24:22,546
Speaker 3: I think that Cincinnati understands this is kind of their

499
00:24:22,626 --> 00:24:24,906
Speaker 3: last year with this core because they got to start

500
00:24:24,946 --> 00:24:30,626
Speaker 3: paying people and they have lou Still the defensive coordinator.

501
00:24:30,106 --> 00:24:32,426
Speaker 1: Whom we're gonna get him on the podcast.

502
00:24:32,466 --> 00:24:34,306
Speaker 2: I don't know how much he's going to stay there.

503
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:36,506
Speaker 1: It's just as well because he had an interview with

504
00:24:36,506 --> 00:24:37,906
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. I think a lot of people thought that

505
00:24:37,946 --> 00:24:39,266
Speaker 1: was his gig and then they gave it to Jonathan

506
00:24:39,306 --> 00:24:41,026
Speaker 1: Gannon instead. But that's a whole other podcast.

507
00:24:41,146 --> 00:24:45,386
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that this is really their year.

508
00:24:45,586 --> 00:24:48,986
Speaker 3: Like you have these sort of quick waves of contention

509
00:24:49,266 --> 00:24:51,386
Speaker 3: and then suddenly you have to pay everyone. And I

510
00:24:51,386 --> 00:24:54,146
Speaker 3: think this is it for Cincinnati, Like this is the

511
00:24:54,226 --> 00:24:57,306
Speaker 3: peak of this group right now. And I think that

512
00:24:57,546 --> 00:24:59,546
Speaker 3: you know, they they are the only ones who've really

513
00:24:59,546 --> 00:25:01,146
Speaker 3: given Mahomes trouble.

514
00:25:01,546 --> 00:25:03,186
Speaker 2: Uh, And I think they're going to make it again

515
00:25:03,226 --> 00:25:03,586
Speaker 2: this year.

516
00:25:03,986 --> 00:25:05,346
Speaker 1: And your super Bowl winner.

517
00:25:05,226 --> 00:25:09,386
Speaker 2: Is Philadelphia the Eagle. The Eagles.

518
00:25:10,586 --> 00:25:12,946
Speaker 1: Eagles take it home and they do it in Vegas.

519
00:25:13,026 --> 00:25:15,826
Speaker 1: And a year after failing to win the Super Bowl

520
00:25:15,826 --> 00:25:17,866
Speaker 1: and coming just short, they take it home and they

521
00:25:17,906 --> 00:25:20,986
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl all right, which leads to my

522
00:25:21,106 --> 00:25:25,346
Speaker 1: pick out of the NFC.

523
00:25:27,186 --> 00:25:30,546
Speaker 3: So dramatic, better build up. I should have taken a

524
00:25:30,626 --> 00:25:31,306
Speaker 3: little more time.

525
00:25:31,306 --> 00:25:33,746
Speaker 1: And you were the appetizer, bro is perfect. You were

526
00:25:33,746 --> 00:25:40,146
Speaker 1: great out of the NFC. A team that's been through

527
00:25:40,186 --> 00:25:45,306
Speaker 1: adversity has made many questionable decisions over the last several years.

528
00:25:46,146 --> 00:25:47,466
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, when you get to

529
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:51,346
Speaker 1: January football, they're as tough as they come. They're always there,

530
00:25:52,346 --> 00:25:54,306
Speaker 1: and I think this is the year that they not

531
00:25:54,386 --> 00:26:00,226
Speaker 1: only host the NFC Championship Game, they win the NFC

532
00:26:00,306 --> 00:26:06,306
Speaker 1: Championship Game. My winners from the NFC the San Francis

533
00:26:06,546 --> 00:26:08,946
Speaker 1: Go forty nine ers. I think they play a punishing

534
00:26:08,946 --> 00:26:11,626
Speaker 1: brand of football that is with Nick Bosa or without.

535
00:26:12,346 --> 00:26:14,626
Speaker 1: I think their defense always sets the standard. And as

536
00:26:14,706 --> 00:26:16,626
Speaker 1: much as I love Demko Ryans, I don't think they

537
00:26:16,666 --> 00:26:20,586
Speaker 1: missed that much of a beat without him. They keep ongoing.

538
00:26:20,626 --> 00:26:22,786
Speaker 1: They've got young talent at every position there and then

539
00:26:22,786 --> 00:26:25,066
Speaker 1: on offense, Kyle Shanahan is a mad genius. I think

540
00:26:25,106 --> 00:26:27,506
Speaker 1: he finally has a quarterback that can operate his offense

541
00:26:28,186 --> 00:26:30,666
Speaker 1: that he believes he can put in trust and really

542
00:26:30,666 --> 00:26:33,426
Speaker 1: get them over the hump. He's a former mister Irrelevant

543
00:26:33,426 --> 00:26:36,426
Speaker 1: and that is okay. I've got McCaffrey as my MVP.

544
00:26:36,626 --> 00:26:38,586
Speaker 1: I think Deebo has a big year. I think Ayuk

545
00:26:38,746 --> 00:26:41,226
Speaker 1: is a big year. I think Trent Williams might going

546
00:26:41,266 --> 00:26:43,306
Speaker 1: out on a swan song. Here in his last couple

547
00:26:43,346 --> 00:26:45,226
Speaker 1: of seasons, but I think he's still the best tackle

548
00:26:45,226 --> 00:26:47,826
Speaker 1: in the league. I am going with the San Francisco

549
00:26:47,946 --> 00:26:50,906
Speaker 1: forty nine ers as my team out of the NFC.

550
00:26:52,226 --> 00:26:59,226
Speaker 1: As for the AFC really really struggled with this. I

551
00:26:59,266 --> 00:27:03,706
Speaker 1: had the jets and pencil for several weeks and I

552
00:27:03,746 --> 00:27:07,986
Speaker 1: erased it out and I said, God, Buffalo sure does

553
00:27:08,066 --> 00:27:11,226
Speaker 1: look good. You know, Buffalo, no one's talking about him.

554
00:27:11,266 --> 00:27:13,586
Speaker 1: That's exactly how I like my teams. Just be under

555
00:27:13,586 --> 00:27:16,706
Speaker 1: the radar. Everyone talk about everyone else. We bring back everybody.

556
00:27:16,746 --> 00:27:19,066
Speaker 1: We're not dealing with it tomorrow, Hamlin, you know situation

557
00:27:19,226 --> 00:27:22,186
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis that's absolutely soul crushing and emotional.

558
00:27:22,226 --> 00:27:24,546
Speaker 1: And come in with a full tank of gats. Let's

559
00:27:24,586 --> 00:27:26,506
Speaker 1: just run through the league. I like Buffalo a lot

560
00:27:26,546 --> 00:27:31,306
Speaker 1: this year. Cincinnati, you mentioned it the window. This is

561
00:27:31,346 --> 00:27:33,066
Speaker 1: their time. If they don't do it now, do they

562
00:27:33,106 --> 00:27:35,906
Speaker 1: still bring back to Higgins and Chase and all these guys.

563
00:27:36,026 --> 00:27:37,746
Speaker 1: Is just the last time this core group is going

564
00:27:37,826 --> 00:27:41,826
Speaker 1: to be together. Then there's Jacksonville. Jacksonville has the fifth

565
00:27:41,866 --> 00:27:45,466
Speaker 1: easiest schedule in the league. They've got an amazing young

566
00:27:45,626 --> 00:27:48,186
Speaker 1: crop of players. I love their second round running back

567
00:27:48,546 --> 00:27:55,266
Speaker 1: Tank Briggsby. I believe his name biggs By runs. I

568
00:27:55,346 --> 00:27:59,146
Speaker 1: really like all those teams. Yeah, I can't pick against

569
00:27:59,186 --> 00:28:02,266
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I don't care if Chris Jones is there.

570
00:28:02,746 --> 00:28:05,306
Speaker 1: I don't care if Tyreek Hill's not there. I don't

571
00:28:05,346 --> 00:28:07,226
Speaker 1: care if any of those guys are there. I can't

572
00:28:07,226 --> 00:28:10,186
Speaker 1: pick against the Chiefs. The Chiefs have been the standard

573
00:28:10,306 --> 00:28:13,546
Speaker 1: and last year was a great lesson. I stuck with them.

574
00:28:13,586 --> 00:28:15,546
Speaker 1: I picked them to the wins Super Bowl despite losing Tyreek Hill.

575
00:28:15,546 --> 00:28:16,706
Speaker 1: I think I might have been in an island on

576
00:28:16,706 --> 00:28:18,706
Speaker 1: that and that sounds wild considering how much success they have.

577
00:28:19,706 --> 00:28:22,706
Speaker 1: I will not pick against Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey

578
00:28:22,826 --> 00:28:25,226
Speaker 1: until I am forced to. And I am not forced

579
00:28:25,226 --> 00:28:26,866
Speaker 1: to pick against them. They are still at the peak

580
00:28:26,906 --> 00:28:28,706
Speaker 1: of their game. I had a chance to spend time

581
00:28:28,746 --> 00:28:32,026
Speaker 1: with them this offseason at that Big Slick Charity Classic,

582
00:28:32,026 --> 00:28:34,266
Speaker 1: and I was hanging with them, and I swear to God,

583
00:28:34,306 --> 00:28:35,826
Speaker 1: I left that thing being like, those guys are great,

584
00:28:35,826 --> 00:28:37,946
Speaker 1: And then I talked to us some people around the league,

585
00:28:37,946 --> 00:28:39,186
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't know. They seem to be

586
00:28:39,226 --> 00:28:40,986
Speaker 1: having a little too good of a time this offseason

587
00:28:41,026 --> 00:28:43,226
Speaker 1: with the golf and this, and they're at concerts and

588
00:28:43,266 --> 00:28:45,546
Speaker 1: it's like Mahomes and Kelsey are everywhere in the podcast

589
00:28:46,306 --> 00:28:48,186
Speaker 1: and you want to start turning away, and then you're like,

590
00:28:48,306 --> 00:28:50,546
Speaker 1: holy crap, they're just so good. I am going with

591
00:28:50,666 --> 00:28:52,826
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I don't know how they get there. I

592
00:28:52,826 --> 00:28:54,306
Speaker 1: don't know if it's through a one seed and they

593
00:28:54,906 --> 00:28:56,666
Speaker 1: host all these games a arrowhead. I don't know if

594
00:28:56,706 --> 00:28:59,306
Speaker 1: they've got to go on the road. But like I said,

595
00:29:00,066 --> 00:29:02,426
Speaker 1: if it's one of those deals, my eyes will not

596
00:29:02,466 --> 00:29:04,666
Speaker 1: deceive me. And if there's a fourth quarter and Patrick

597
00:29:04,706 --> 00:29:06,586
Speaker 1: Mahomes needs to get it done in a big spot,

598
00:29:06,426 --> 00:29:09,346
Speaker 1: out and done every single time, I'm going with Kansas City. Now,

599
00:29:09,346 --> 00:29:11,386
Speaker 1: this was a Super Bowl a few years back in Miami.

600
00:29:11,746 --> 00:29:13,426
Speaker 1: We go from one party city to the next. We

601
00:29:13,506 --> 00:29:18,506
Speaker 1: go to Vegas. Forty nine Ers versus Chiefs, the Super

602
00:29:18,586 --> 00:29:23,066
Speaker 1: Bowl champions for the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on CBS.

603
00:29:23,306 --> 00:29:24,386
Speaker 1: Drum roll, please eron.

604
00:29:24,666 --> 00:29:29,986
Speaker 4: But the Kansas City Chiefs will be your first back

605
00:29:30,026 --> 00:29:32,386
Speaker 4: to back Super Bowl champion winners since the New England

606
00:29:32,426 --> 00:29:34,306
Speaker 4: Patriots did it in two thousand and three and two

607
00:29:34,346 --> 00:29:35,026
Speaker 4: thousand and four.

608
00:29:35,146 --> 00:29:38,786
Speaker 1: I am going with the Chiefs. I love what they

609
00:29:38,826 --> 00:29:41,466
Speaker 1: are all about. I love that people are doubting them,

610
00:29:41,586 --> 00:29:45,386
Speaker 1: and I love the fact that Mahomes and Kelsey are

611
00:29:45,426 --> 00:29:48,306
Speaker 1: ready to go. I think Chris Jones hopefully figures this

612
00:29:48,346 --> 00:29:50,266
Speaker 1: thing out, but I would not pick against them because

613
00:29:50,306 --> 00:29:52,306
Speaker 1: of the lack of Chris Jones. I learned that last year.

614
00:29:52,306 --> 00:29:54,266
Speaker 1: Don't pick against them because I wane individual player. What

615
00:29:54,266 --> 00:29:57,066
Speaker 1: they've built there is too strong. I've got the Kansas

616
00:29:57,066 --> 00:30:00,666
Speaker 1: City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl, and with that, I

617
00:30:00,786 --> 00:30:04,106
Speaker 1: bid you farewell. Enjoy this first weekend of games. Aaron,

618
00:30:04,186 --> 00:30:05,866
Speaker 1: good job. How'd it feel getting all those out?

619
00:30:07,546 --> 00:30:12,546
Speaker 3: If like a weight has been lifted for me to

620
00:30:11,906 --> 00:30:15,146
Speaker 3: to to wax poetic on Anthony Richardson a little bit

621
00:30:15,906 --> 00:30:18,946
Speaker 3: and and to publicly say that I don't believe.

622
00:30:18,666 --> 00:30:20,266
Speaker 2: In any of the new Jersey teams as well.

623
00:30:20,346 --> 00:30:21,946
Speaker 1: So can I tell you something? As I say it

624
00:30:21,946 --> 00:30:23,306
Speaker 1: out loud, and we haven't done these picks on Good

625
00:30:23,306 --> 00:30:26,266
Speaker 1: Morning FOOTBA yet as we're recording, this doesn't feel great.

626
00:30:26,386 --> 00:30:28,226
Speaker 1: I kind of want to now, like, now that I've

627
00:30:28,226 --> 00:30:31,026
Speaker 1: said it and it's going to be recorded, I'm not

628
00:30:31,066 --> 00:30:33,146
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure with my picks, and I kind

629
00:30:33,146 --> 00:30:35,626
Speaker 1: of want to just go like Lions Jets and kind

630
00:30:35,626 --> 00:30:37,586
Speaker 1: of say get and be like I think it's to

631
00:30:37,666 --> 00:30:40,546
Speaker 1: me Lion's Jets and be that guy. I'm really tempted

632
00:30:40,546 --> 00:30:43,626
Speaker 1: I could change my pick for Good Morning Football. I

633
00:30:43,666 --> 00:30:46,266
Speaker 1: love those teams. Should I change my picks to Lion?

634
00:30:46,346 --> 00:30:48,466
Speaker 1: This is what happens. This is like the inside, you know,

635
00:30:48,586 --> 00:30:51,066
Speaker 1: like the neuroses of like Woody Allen and all. This

636
00:30:51,106 --> 00:30:52,346
Speaker 1: is what I've got going on in my head when

637
00:30:52,346 --> 00:30:55,026
Speaker 1: it comes to football. Should I change it to Lions Jets?

638
00:30:55,066 --> 00:30:56,386
Speaker 1: Or Am I going to be laughed off the earth?

639
00:30:58,266 --> 00:31:00,906
Speaker 3: You know, that's as close as your son's guests will

640
00:31:00,906 --> 00:31:03,026
Speaker 3: be if you if you did Lion's Jets, because it

641
00:31:03,026 --> 00:31:04,186
Speaker 3: can't be Lion's Giants.

642
00:31:04,226 --> 00:31:06,946
Speaker 2: So you know people will.

643
00:31:06,906 --> 00:31:12,066
Speaker 1: Remember that, Jason, my career is important to me. And

644
00:31:12,106 --> 00:31:14,946
Speaker 1: when you hit that long Grand Slam, people remember when

645
00:31:14,986 --> 00:31:17,106
Speaker 1: I say Chiefs over Niners, it's like great for my

646
00:31:17,146 --> 00:31:20,826
Speaker 1: own personal pride. But gosh, if I said Jets over

647
00:31:20,906 --> 00:31:22,786
Speaker 1: Lions in the Super Bowl, what would the reaction be?

648
00:31:25,226 --> 00:31:27,146
Speaker 1: And I don't do it for clicks, so I usually

649
00:31:27,146 --> 00:31:29,426
Speaker 1: go standard and here's who I really think, and I'm

650
00:31:29,506 --> 00:31:32,786
Speaker 1: usually right, but I'm tempted to just say it.

651
00:31:34,346 --> 00:31:37,866
Speaker 3: All right, but you're sitting there, you're watching the playoffs,

652
00:31:38,306 --> 00:31:39,706
Speaker 3: it's Lions forty nine ers.

653
00:31:39,746 --> 00:31:42,386
Speaker 2: Are you really going to still feel good at that moment?

654
00:31:42,746 --> 00:31:42,906
Speaker 4: Right?

655
00:31:42,946 --> 00:31:45,626
Speaker 1: The Lions defense can't stop that Kyle? And like, is

656
00:31:45,706 --> 00:31:48,026
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell gonna out coach Kyle Shanahan in the NFC

657
00:31:48,106 --> 00:31:51,826
Speaker 1: Championship game? Yeah? Are are they? Like basically you're asking,

658
00:31:51,866 --> 00:31:54,946
Speaker 1: can the Lions go into or host Can they beat

659
00:31:54,946 --> 00:31:57,986
Speaker 1: San Francisco Philadelphia in Dallas? Can they do that? They

660
00:31:58,026 --> 00:32:00,786
Speaker 1: have to win multiple games? I don't know. So No, Okay,

661
00:32:00,786 --> 00:32:03,666
Speaker 1: we're keeping the Niners the Chiefs. Is it even a

662
00:32:03,666 --> 00:32:06,146
Speaker 1: big splash? If I said Bill's No, is it a

663
00:32:06,186 --> 00:32:08,986
Speaker 1: big flash? If I said Bengals, No, it's the Jets

664
00:32:08,986 --> 00:32:11,586
Speaker 1: that are keeping me up. Do I say Jets? But

665
00:32:11,626 --> 00:32:14,626
Speaker 1: then if I say Jets, I've got the Jets beating

666
00:32:14,626 --> 00:32:17,746
Speaker 1: the beating the forty nine ers. Well that's what they

667
00:32:17,786 --> 00:32:20,706
Speaker 1: said on that It hard knocks. That crazy mentalist guy

668
00:32:20,746 --> 00:32:22,826
Speaker 1: came on right, like, Jets will beat the Niners. Nicole

669
00:32:22,866 --> 00:32:29,386
Speaker 1: Hardman predicted it. Yeah, do I go with Oz the mentalist? Gosh,

670
00:32:29,906 --> 00:32:32,826
Speaker 1: I guess I'm staying with the Chiefs. I say, I

671
00:32:32,826 --> 00:32:36,026
Speaker 1: should probably be pretty you know, convicted here, but I'm not.

672
00:32:36,466 --> 00:32:40,226
Speaker 3: I think even if you were serious about the Jets,

673
00:32:40,226 --> 00:32:43,186
Speaker 3: and I realize even when I picked the Bengals, I

674
00:32:43,226 --> 00:32:47,146
Speaker 3: had to mention Kansas City. I had to say Cincinnati

675
00:32:47,186 --> 00:32:49,546
Speaker 3: is the only team that really gives Kansas City trouble.

676
00:32:49,626 --> 00:32:51,906
Speaker 1: Like it's still what if the games are play what

677
00:32:51,946 --> 00:32:54,066
Speaker 1: if the Jets are the one seed they get a bye.

678
00:32:55,026 --> 00:32:57,266
Speaker 1: I guess I'm saying they can beat the Bills, Bengals

679
00:32:57,306 --> 00:32:59,266
Speaker 1: in Chiefs and back to back weeks like those, like

680
00:32:59,306 --> 00:33:00,986
Speaker 1: the Jaguars can come in and that's like, all right,

681
00:33:00,986 --> 00:33:03,186
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna beat the Jaguars, and then the

682
00:33:03,226 --> 00:33:05,026
Speaker 1: Bengals come in, or the Chiefs come in and they're

683
00:33:05,026 --> 00:33:07,146
Speaker 1: gonna beat them like they a lot to go, right.

684
00:33:07,506 --> 00:33:10,306
Speaker 1: You put myhomes in Jacksonville, you put my homes in Cincinnati,

685
00:33:10,386 --> 00:33:12,426
Speaker 1: you put my homes in Buffalo. I think Mahomes can

686
00:33:12,466 --> 00:33:14,626
Speaker 1: win it. I haven't seen the Jets do it, and

687
00:33:14,666 --> 00:33:17,186
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Rogers do it. To be honest, He's

688
00:33:17,226 --> 00:33:19,146
Speaker 1: won a lot of playoff games, but he's not been

689
00:33:19,186 --> 00:33:21,226
Speaker 1: the most clutch guy on the road in recent years,

690
00:33:21,266 --> 00:33:23,466
Speaker 1: and he not even in Lambeau. So all right, I'm

691
00:33:23,506 --> 00:33:27,066
Speaker 1: staying with my picks, Chiefs over Niners. I'm just like

692
00:33:27,106 --> 00:33:29,546
Speaker 1: every other freaking pundit. It just goes off into the ether.

693
00:33:29,666 --> 00:33:31,426
Speaker 1: But I'll pin it on my Twitter profile and I'll

694
00:33:31,466 --> 00:33:34,066
Speaker 1: go for the streak and I'll go for the stable

695
00:33:34,186 --> 00:33:36,306
Speaker 1: standard answer. I don't think I was trying to make

696
00:33:36,346 --> 00:33:39,106
Speaker 1: any clicks here, but if you're a podcast listener, you

697
00:33:39,106 --> 00:33:40,826
Speaker 1: know I try to take swings, and this one I'm

698
00:33:40,826 --> 00:33:43,666
Speaker 1: taking it safe, all right. So you've got Eagles over Bengals,

699
00:33:44,746 --> 00:33:48,226
Speaker 1: I've got Chiefs over forty nine ers, and you, my

700
00:33:48,306 --> 00:33:50,866
