Speaker 1: NFL Game dey View is a production of the NFL
Speaker 1: in partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: In a game for Mercedes Benzpatrick Claimant Here with Greg
Speaker 2: Rosdal and Cynthia Freeland on a Week ten, there's unity
Speaker 2: at the top. Both of these two are tied. Does
Speaker 2: that mean like we're splitting the crown?
Speaker 3: How are we doing? No?
Speaker 4: I think this is a week for unity. That's right, Cynthia.
Speaker 4: No more talking trash. I'm when I beat Cynthia and
Speaker 4: when I catch up. Now we're all on one team.
Speaker 4: Let's go, we have to do like it.
Speaker 5: There we go.
Speaker 4: I don't know I was hitting those just Greg's last week.
Speaker 4: How am I only tied?
Speaker 2: Well, this is how because Cynthia has ninety two wins
Speaker 2: of forty six and you have ninety two wins and
Speaker 2: forty six. I'm four games behind you, guys, so two crowns.
Speaker 2: So this is not the unity ticket. As I sit
Speaker 2: and gaze upon the throne, I.
Speaker 6: Think you're just like keeping it within striking distance to
Speaker 6: come at us.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Nothing for like a like some of the Bit's kneecaps,
Speaker 2: like the Cithia's lions. They went up to Lambeo last
Speaker 2: Sunday and took care of the Green Bay Packers. Jared
Speaker 2: Goffler for one hundred and forty five yards and a
Speaker 2: touchdowns just four in completions while the defense shut down
Speaker 2: Jordan Love and company. Karby Joseph had to pick six.
Speaker 2: The Lions won at twenty four to fourteen. They're seven
Speaker 2: and one for the first.
Speaker 3: Time since nineteen fifty six, and.
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell feels pretty good. Much like R and B
Speaker 2: Group one twelve. Dan Campbell says the Lions could do
Speaker 2: it anywhere they're feasting. They've won six straight. Detroit's got CJ.
Speaker 2: Stroud and the Texans on Sunday night. Do they get
Speaker 2: another win?
Speaker 3: Grit?
Speaker 4: I think they do. Would be their ninth straight win.
Speaker 4: That would be the first time they got nine wins
Speaker 4: in a row since the nineties when one twelve was
Speaker 4: I guess just coming up in the world. Let's go
Speaker 4: Jared goff He is playing so well under pressure this
Speaker 4: year and that is important this week against a Texan
Speaker 4: team that creates a lot of pressure, and they do
Speaker 4: it sometimes without blitzing much. Sometimes they blitz a lot.
Speaker 4: You never know what they're going to do, and they
Speaker 4: might have to do more without Will Anderson. But Jared Goff
Speaker 4: does such a good job against pressure because he gets
Speaker 4: rid of the ball quickly. His yards per attempt his
Speaker 4: completion percentage over expected both best in the entire NFL.
Speaker 4: So I think they will really be tested this week
Speaker 4: against a good Texans defense. It's a close score you'll see,
Speaker 4: twenty four to twenty one. I'm threadning that needle. I
Speaker 4: think the Texans are game and they cover the spread,
Speaker 4: but the Lions get the victory.
Speaker 6: Well, we're talking one twelve, right, so maybe we should
Speaker 6: rename the running backs peaches and cream totally, she remembers
Speaker 6: one twelve. I'm looking at the running backs in this game,
Speaker 6: actually both side does actually make.
Speaker 5: A big difference.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at the opportunities to stay away from said
Speaker 6: pressure that you mentioned to keep this offense humming. How
Speaker 6: does it work? It works because this running game is
Speaker 6: so dynamic, because the passing options that come off of
Speaker 6: it keep defenses on their heels.
Speaker 5: So because of peaches and.
Speaker 6: Cream, we're renaming them for the sake of our show,
Speaker 6: I think that gives the edge to the Lions. However,
Speaker 6: I do want to bring up that Joe Mixon on
Speaker 6: the other side is going to play a key factor.
Speaker 6: I don't exactly know how we'll see Zadarius Smith Roland.
Speaker 5: Are they gonna still blitz. I don't know. That's for
Speaker 5: someone else to decide.
Speaker 6: But ultimately, Joe Mixon is going to be the way
Speaker 6: that it has to run through this offense because that
Speaker 6: a line has not been helping their quarterback out very
Speaker 6: much at all.
Speaker 2: And that situation is why I think it's a lower
Speaker 2: scoring game. It was a slower paced game. I've got a
Speaker 2: twenty to eighteen Lions win, and Cynthia mentioned the edge.
Speaker 2: There is that reason that the Lions went and got
Speaker 2: Sadarius Smith in the trade this week because in the
Speaker 2: last three games without Aiden Hutchinson's they have a four
Speaker 2: point three sack percentage season long. That would put them
Speaker 2: right between the Bengals and the Dolphins, and we see
Speaker 2: how they've rushed the passer this season. Meanwhile, the opposing
Speaker 2: team's pass rush pretty good as long as they're playing.
Speaker 2: In the Houston Texans A CJ. Shroud sacked percentage eight
Speaker 2: point three percent. So I got my eyes on the
Speaker 2: rush there, and we all have our.
Speaker 3: Eyes on Cynthia's beloved Detroit.
Speaker 2: Lions with a meme alert. Speaking of Cynthia, let's do
Speaker 2: some math here. I'm Monross Saint Brown fifty six receiving
Speaker 2: yards last week against the Packers. Does he go over
Speaker 2: seventy and a half on Sunday night?
Speaker 5: He does?
Speaker 6: I think that the interesting part here is even though
Speaker 6: this is a really good pass defense, this is a
Speaker 6: past defense that brings the heat but also backs it
Speaker 6: up on.
Speaker 5: The back end.
Speaker 6: I don't care because short passes, they're actually part of
Speaker 6: the way that Jared Goff has had more touchdown passes
Speaker 6: than incompletions since Week three, which is a really long
Speaker 6: time twenty six touchdowns twenty So what'd you say?
Speaker 4: It's the dumbest stats and it's your Lions. Remember when
Speaker 4: we started this show six years ago, you can buy
Speaker 4: a win, and now we're more touchdowns and incompletions. It's crazy.
Speaker 5: Sorry, this is beginning.
Speaker 3: Excited, apologize, gentleman. Smile.
Speaker 5: I don't even know how to hit. I don't know
Speaker 5: what to do with myself. What do I do with
Speaker 5: my hands in this situation?
Speaker 1: No one know?
Speaker 3: That's what you do?
Speaker 2: You do that because they're very good and uh too
Speaker 2: well established quarterbacks in golf and shroud and that one
Speaker 2: to one of the hottest names in the game, Jayden
Speaker 2: Daniels taking the league by store. Got to hope that
Speaker 2: the main temperature is ninety eight point six. Jayden and
Speaker 2: the NFC East leading Commanders playing host to the Steelers
Speaker 2: RUSS two and oh is Pittsburgh starter?
Speaker 3: Does he get to three? And Oh Grick?
Speaker 4: I think he does. I'm going for the upset in
Speaker 4: this one. I have the Steelers winning this game twenty
Speaker 4: four to twenty three. I love both these teams, but
Speaker 4: Steelers are coming off a bye week. That gives Mike
Speaker 4: Tomlin time to cook up a scheme and Russell Wilson
Speaker 4: time to study this Commander's defense. Where do they struggle
Speaker 4: deep into the outside? And yes, you bring in Marshawn
Speaker 4: Lattimore to help out that secondary, but he hasn't been
Speaker 4: practicing early in the week. Not sure if he's going
Speaker 4: to be one hundred percent. That's a trade you make
Speaker 4: for the rest of the season, even next season. This
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson performance he had against the Giants changed the
Speaker 4: way I thought about this Steelers team. I think it's
Speaker 4: the best that he has looked in years. He's moving well,
Speaker 4: he's making good decisions. He had great velocity on the
Speaker 4: throws that you see there to George Pickens. You have
Speaker 4: another outside receiver in Mike Williams. You look at the
Speaker 4: Washington Commanders wins this season. If they beat the Steelers
Speaker 4: on Sunday, I think that would be their best win
Speaker 4: of this season. I don't think they're quite ready for it. Again,
Speaker 4: it's a really mature defense, a great coaching staff. Steelers
Speaker 4: get the win, but by the slimmest of margins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got a slim margin. I have a slim
Speaker 2: margin as well, also with the Pittsburgh Steelers winning also
Speaker 2: by one point. That these Steelers have that speed and
Speaker 2: talent at the linebacker level. And when you look at
Speaker 2: the games where Washington's offense has been a little bit
Speaker 2: slower this season, they have limited the opportunities. And this
Speaker 2: is the number one defense against scrambling quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: They haven't played one like Jaydon.
Speaker 2: Daniels yet, but Jayden Daniels, as Greg mentioned, hasn't necessarily
Speaker 2: faced a defense like that. They need to limit the
Speaker 2: explosive plays and I think that the Steelers defense can
Speaker 2: Cynthia one point win.
Speaker 5: You guys are giving me a home favorite.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's like having a magical season that nothing can
Speaker 4: go wrong. Yes, we are.
Speaker 5: Is the prime number.
Speaker 6: I have the Washington Commanders winning this one by four
Speaker 6: points twenty six, twenty two. I understand that Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 6: said that this is such a dynamic that you know,
Speaker 6: a what keeps him up at night TJ. Watt, but
Speaker 6: also micka Fitzpatrick. But I think when you watch the
Speaker 6: opportunity for Jade Daniels to be multiple, especially to Terry McLaurin,
Speaker 6: you really have a mismatch here that is going to
Speaker 6: create deeper opportunities, bigger gashes. Terry McLaurin has had some
Speaker 6: not great passes thrown his way. Now you're seeing some
Speaker 6: great ones this particular season.
Speaker 5: And this guy never talks.
Speaker 6: He's just quietly one of the best receivers in the
Speaker 6: league year over year. Now he really has a chance.
Speaker 6: You said something like if this is the first win
Speaker 6: that the Steelers have or it's a quality with it's
Speaker 6: the same thing for both sides. Both can be said
Speaker 6: about each team here. So it's not like either of
Speaker 6: us have like some going away win on either side.
Speaker 6: This is a very closely matched game. So I think
Speaker 6: this is kind of like a prove it. Whoever's for
Speaker 6: real will show up in this game.
Speaker 3: All right, So Sody gets the prime number number.
Speaker 2: The only spot of disagreement is Terry has talked to
Speaker 2: Tyrek Stevenson this year caused him to absolutely.
Speaker 3: Melt down all the field. So maybe Terry talking.
Speaker 6: To the media, you're not saying anything out woud. He's
Speaker 6: saying he can talk to the defense about.
Speaker 2: He presses as he should, like, like the button Cynthia
Speaker 2: presses to get prime numbers.
Speaker 3: Is gonna be a fun game.
Speaker 2: Another quarterback matchup really looking forward to is a nice
Speaker 2: five nine hundred and sixty five miles from where.
Speaker 3: We're seated in Munich, Germany. I got a mass the
Speaker 3: energy that music live for Munich.
Speaker 2: The Giants square off against the Panthers on NFL Network, Rise,
Speaker 2: Shine and Watch Sunday, November ten at nine thirty am
Speaker 2: Eastern only on NFL Network and NFL Plus. Subscription required
Speaker 2: for NFL Plus. It's Danny Dimes squaring off at the.
Speaker 3: Home of legendary soccer club Bayern, Munich.
Speaker 2: The Giants and Panthers both hoping to turn their seasons around.
Speaker 2: Which team gets the best chance to do with Cynthia.
Speaker 6: Can you please use that voice at all times?
Speaker 5: I request?
Speaker 3: The music was rocking, It was good.
Speaker 2: It has me excited for this game because I want
Speaker 2: to wake up and watch Rice.
Speaker 4: Young and Mega Pe picking.
Speaker 6: The Giants by a touchdown twenty four and is seventeen
Speaker 6: in this matchup. And Daniel Jones, this man's gonna throw
Speaker 6: for two passing touchdowns at least. Why well, we seem
Speaker 6: to do it in four games. But this is the
Speaker 6: opportunity here. The Giants needs some help on offense. This
Speaker 6: is the lowest scoring offense. It could be historic if
Speaker 6: they finished it out at this pace of points per game.
Speaker 6: But the Carolina Panthers defense, they are the most generous
Speaker 6: in terms of offering points to opposing teams. So this
Speaker 6: is the get right spot if there ever were one.
Speaker 6: I think this is going to be a nice outing
Speaker 6: from Daniel Jones. I'm like a Daniel Jones like like
Speaker 6: he's averaged. That is apparently being an apologist or some
Speaker 6: sort of stand for him, but be great.
Speaker 5: That's what I am. I'm a stand for him.
Speaker 4: There is okay, So I agree he's average, and that's
Speaker 4: why I think the Giants will win because he's playing
Speaker 4: the worst team in the league, the Panthers, in terms
Speaker 4: of their defense. But I do think the Panthers cover.
Speaker 4: I think it's twenty six to twenty three. We get
Speaker 4: some points in Germany. Bryce Young in front of a
Speaker 4: national audience, and everyone's seen that he's playing better BA
Speaker 4: couple of weeks. That's right. Hey, look my brother's got
Speaker 4: a German passper I'm an expert here. There's no way
Speaker 4: I'm getting this spread wrong. Canters and Bryce Young have
Speaker 4: played good football the last couple weeks. The big difference
Speaker 4: I see out of Bryce Young is he's not playing hesitantly.
Speaker 4: He's throwing the ball into tight windows. He's letting his
Speaker 4: receivers go make plays. He's making good decisions. Two weeks
Speaker 4: in a row. I think it's really the best football
Speaker 4: he's played. I know not a lot of people watch
Speaker 4: that Broncos game or even the Saints game, but I'm
Speaker 4: encouraged by his play. So I think we get more
Speaker 4: points than you expect. In Rich Eisen and Kurt Warner
Speaker 4: and they get to call a lot of touchdowns in
Speaker 4: this game.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward. Cynthia speaks German. Greg has a familial
Speaker 2: connection to Germany. I'm from Alabama. I have the Giants
Speaker 2: winning this game as well, seventeen to fourteen.
Speaker 3: It's unanimous.
Speaker 2: I don't have as many points as Cynthia and Greg
Speaker 2: do because I see a lot of rushing success for
Speaker 2: the team that had a second half passing explosion last
Speaker 2: week in the New York Giants because they didn't have
Speaker 2: any yards in the first half. I wanted to contextualize
Speaker 2: this Panthers defense, so all went back and looked at
Speaker 2: the last five.
Speaker 3: Years through week nine.
Speaker 2: Cynthia, do you know a team that has allowed more
Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns than the Carolina Panthers in that span? There
Speaker 2: isn't one whoa In fact, the opponents have run the
Speaker 2: ball against the Panthers through week nine three hundred and
Speaker 2: fifteen times. That's more than any team in the next
Speaker 2: Gen stats era going back to twenty sixteen. So teams
Speaker 2: come out there offensive coordinators just see barbecue chicken in
Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers run defense, and they pound the rock.
Speaker 3: We're all aboard the New York Giants. It's signed for
Speaker 3: the Drive.
Speaker 2: To Excellence presented by Mercedes Bins. After that great catch,
Speaker 2: the Jets have the Cardinals. Aaron Rodgers squad finally got
Speaker 2: that win against the Texans. Meanwhile, Kyler's got the Cards
Speaker 2: sitting in first in the NFC West.
Speaker 3: They won three games.
Speaker 4: In a row?
Speaker 3: Is it four? Grid?
Speaker 4: It is the Cardinals one of my favorite teams to
Speaker 4: watch all year because of Kyler Murray and everything going
Speaker 4: on there. But it's the defense that's been a pleasant surprise.
Speaker 4: Nick Rollis in this band of unknown pass rushers got
Speaker 4: after Caleb Williams last week. And when I look at
Speaker 4: this Jets offensive line, yes, they played better against the
Speaker 4: Texans on a short week at home. They've been on
Speaker 4: fraud watch all season long, and you know what, fraud
Speaker 4: watch has been pretty successful. They've been fraudulent. At three
Speaker 4: and six, it's a tough place to play in Arizona,
Speaker 4: and the Cardinals defense throws enough different looks at you
Speaker 4: that I think it's going to confuse the communication between
Speaker 4: the offensive line that's been the issue with the Jets
Speaker 4: them not being on the same page. I think the
Speaker 4: Cardinals get the victory twenty seven to twenty two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's ad is. You're not going to confuse Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 2: but you don't have to. As long as you can
Speaker 2: call some problems for the offensive line. I've got the
Speaker 2: Cardinals as well. It's one point for me. I think
Speaker 2: the ground game, including James Connor, who's playing some really
Speaker 2: good football, is what makes it happen. The Jets number
Speaker 2: twenty two in rushing efficiency, while the Cardinals offense is
Speaker 2: significantly better in that particular metric. The Jets force more
Speaker 2: quarterback scrambles than any other team. Yay, The problem is
Speaker 2: you might not want to do it against Kyler Murray.
Speaker 2: I think the Cardinals win, not a huge win, but
Speaker 2: a win at home nonethelesson.
Speaker 6: So what you're saying is, you guys are now giving
Speaker 6: me a second team whose favor even though they're.
Speaker 3: On the road.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's fine.
Speaker 6: Fire up that prime number. It is a prime number again.
Speaker 6: Why I want to talk about Aaron Rodgers here and
Speaker 6: last week what we saw with Devonte Adams, not just
Speaker 6: with Davonte Adams when he was the subject of a pass,
Speaker 6: but also what happens to Garrett Wilson and the rest
Speaker 6: of the squad when he's on the field. Oh okay, well,
Speaker 6: maybe you don't need a one handed catch this week.
Speaker 6: Let's go with the two handed catch. That's just a
Speaker 6: higher probability of actually being caught, but ultimately the opportunity
Speaker 6: to have both of those pass catching options. I think
Speaker 6: this defense is actually a nice surprise. I just don't
Speaker 6: know if they're surprising enough to handle all the different looks.
Speaker 5: A well rested Jets.
Speaker 6: Team that is angry and whatever the words are you
Speaker 6: want to use, like fired up, they're excited they're going
Speaker 6: to be playing in the desert.
Speaker 5: I think that that will be a I.
Speaker 4: Mean, they're a three and six team on the road
Speaker 4: and they're favored. No respect for the Cardinals.
Speaker 5: Who picked the Jets last week.
Speaker 3: So they picked the Jets.
Speaker 4: You did You got that right?
Speaker 5: Did you pick them?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It wasn't even on game debut because it was a
Speaker 4: Thursday night game, so it doesn't count. As far as
Speaker 4: I'm concerned.
Speaker 2: That is an asterisk that Greg is retroactively applying.
Speaker 3: We will stay in the NFC West. At four and four,
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers off to a slow start, but.
Speaker 2: They could be getting back a big piece of their offense.
Speaker 2: On Sunday, the Bucks and the forty nine Ers sand
Speaker 2: Frand hoping CMC makes his season debut. In fact on
Speaker 2: K and BR Radio on Thursday, Kyle Shanahan saying he
Speaker 2: thinks that we're going to.
Speaker 3: See Christian McCaffrey. He would be the one to know.
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield squad nearly upset the Chiefs on Monday Night.
Speaker 4: What happens, Greg The forty nine ers score a lot
Speaker 4: of points. We see this every season the bye week,
Speaker 4: they're a different team. Sometimes it's because they get healthier,
Speaker 4: that's true. This week Christian McCaffrey expected to play, and
Speaker 4: what a week for him to return. I think it's
Speaker 4: gonna be the CMC of old because every running back
Speaker 4: looks like CMC against the Buccaneers this year, they can't
Speaker 4: do anything on defense. They used to be so good
Speaker 4: stopping the run under Todd Bowles. They're a bottom six
Speaker 4: rush defense team this year. They're not really good in
Speaker 4: terms of communicating and giving up big plays in the
Speaker 4: back end either. So it's not just Christian McCaffrey returney.
Speaker 4: Sounds like they're probably getting Juwan Jennings back, who's been
Speaker 4: very valuable for them. Sounds like they're getting Deebo Samuel back,
Speaker 4: who is Deebo freaking Samuel. They're putting up points every
Speaker 4: year after the buye the forty nine ers start to
Speaker 4: take off, that's what they're gonna do this week.
Speaker 2: I've got the forty nine ers as well, Greg, because
Speaker 2: we just saw Christian McCaffrey the footwork.
Speaker 3: People might have.
Speaker 2: Forgotten just how good of a football player Christian McCaffrey is.
Speaker 2: And I think the biggest impact is in the past game.
Speaker 2: There were so many because if you look at all
Speaker 2: the talent on the field, including George Kill, Brandon Ayu,
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel, there's several times we're the best matchup in
Speaker 2: the passing game is the running back when Christian McCaffrey's.
Speaker 3: On the field.
Speaker 2: And all credit to Jordan Mason on this particular route.
Speaker 3: Did that look like twenty three?
Speaker 4: What about all right, Rando's showing anti Jordan Mason.
Speaker 2: No, I'm showing the routes, the routes and the target
Speaker 2: first down.
Speaker 3: It is a first down.
Speaker 2: These are all passes being thrown to running backs who
Speaker 2: are decidedly not Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 3: Greg. It is just different.
Speaker 2: The defense is going to give the forty nine ers
Speaker 2: an entirely different look. Into Greg's point, Yes, they're going
Speaker 2: to be significantly better, not just after the buy, but
Speaker 2: getting one of the best players in football.
Speaker 4: As Jordan Mason's fantasy owner, I enjoyed those eight weeks.
Speaker 3: About did drop.
Speaker 4: He did great.
Speaker 6: As a Christian McCaffrey fantasy owner, I am happier. I
Speaker 6: do have San Francisco winning twenty six to twenty two.
Speaker 6: So that's four points, which is less than six points,
Speaker 6: and we need to give some love to.
Speaker 5: This Bucks offense.
Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield has been keeping this thing afloat, those passes,
Speaker 6: figuring things out.
Speaker 5: I mean, you're watching Kate outten right here.
Speaker 6: The tight end position is not as favorable against the
Speaker 6: San Francisco defense as other positions, but Baker's really getting
Speaker 6: the job done. He's throwing the most touchdown passes in
Speaker 6: the league twenty three. No one else has more than twenty.
Speaker 6: I'm just giving here a tribute to one of my
Speaker 6: fantasy players, who is Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 5: Who has kept my team afloat.
Speaker 6: But ultimately, you got to give some credit here because
Speaker 6: you can dice up the secondary of this San Francisco defense.
Speaker 6: So if they were to upset or even keep it
Speaker 6: close like we all actually forecast to keep it, you're
Speaker 6: right on that number with six but you know to
Speaker 6: keep it pretty close. It's gonna be because of the
Speaker 6: deep passes from Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 2: All right, so Baker Mayfield, Cynthia said, keeping the team afloat.
Speaker 2: They are pirates, so that does help. Still to come.
Speaker 2: The Rounds are on a hot streak.
Speaker 3: They won three in a row.
Speaker 2: Sean McVay squad a huge matchup against Tour and the
Speaker 2: Dolphins Monday night.
Speaker 3: It's due or die time for Miami season. Who's gonna win?
Speaker 3: Whoa our picks next guy? What is that game? Wins? On?
Speaker 2: Dolphins Monday night at SOFI Stadium, LA winning three straight.
Speaker 2: Miami came up just short last week in Buffalo. I'll
Speaker 2: kick this one off and go with the Ramley in
Speaker 2: this one, twenty eight to twenty seven after those late
Speaker 2: fireworks that got the game ball to the Marcus Robinson
Speaker 2: in that overtime win against the Seahawks, because Matthew Stafford
Speaker 2: when number ten's on the field, surprise, surprise, Cooper Cup
Speaker 2: being out there, having one of the best players in
Speaker 2: football helps and the Rams at home. I remember we're
Speaker 2: sitting here, me and Cynthia before the Thursday night game
Speaker 2: against the Minnesota Vikings and Cynthia says, if they keep
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford clean, then then they're gonna win this game
Speaker 2: and go on a run.
Speaker 3: It was very, very precious of Cynthia Freeland because they've
Speaker 3: done that.
Speaker 2: He was twenty of twenty nine for McClean pocket against Seattle,
Speaker 2: a pretty significant depth of target on that as well.
Speaker 3: Greg nons dealing right now.
Speaker 4: He is playing great. I think the Rams win this game.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's as close as you do. I
Speaker 4: have twenty seven to twenty. I just think the Rams
Speaker 4: are a better football team than the Dolphin. And certainly
Speaker 4: when Cooper Cup is out on the field. Look, maybe
Speaker 4: he's not as explosive as he used to be, he's
Speaker 4: still very productive. Sixteen catches one hundred and fifty five
Speaker 4: yards in the last two weeks. And the thing that
Speaker 4: is most important is that Matthew Stafford is more comfortable
Speaker 4: when Cooper cup is on the field, when he's out
Speaker 4: dodging defenders like he was on that Thursday night game.
Speaker 4: I was in the crowd. He knows where to look.
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup's always in the right place. I want to
Speaker 4: see Pooka Nakua back in this game after he was
Speaker 4: ejected from the last one. I want to see him
Speaker 4: looking healthy. But Cynthia said it, when they protect him,
Speaker 4: Stafford plays great. They might have two starting guards back
Speaker 4: in this game, Steve Avula and Jonah Jackson. So surely
Speaker 4: Cynthia's picking the Rams to win two. They wouldn't set
Speaker 4: her up third with a different option. Would they gave.
Speaker 5: Me the Dolphins prime number.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at this game, and I'm looking at some
Speaker 6: of the things that the Rams defense has done well,
Speaker 6: and then I'm thinking, do they have an answer for
Speaker 6: Tyreek Hill? Well, the answer is, I don't really know
Speaker 6: if anyone has an answer for prime Tyreek Hill, which is.
Speaker 5: What I forecast. We see.
Speaker 6: We started to see it get going last week. We
Speaker 6: started to see those quick passes come back to Tua.
Speaker 6: And quick passes are a really good way to stay
Speaker 6: the heck away from Jared Vers and Braden Fisk, who
Speaker 6: are playing really, really well. But ultimately you gotta stay
Speaker 6: away from them. So under two point five second passes
Speaker 6: and just let the man run.
Speaker 5: Because I will.
Speaker 6: Say, and Greg, you have to admit this, there are
Speaker 6: some parts of the secondary for the Rams that maybe
Speaker 6: aren't as fast as Hireek.
Speaker 4: Sure Rams secondary, not that fast, not that great, but
Speaker 4: that Miami pass rushes stunk all year, one of the worst.
Speaker 6: To go again, Well, we're head to head a game
Speaker 6: here for that little tight round that goes on our head,
Speaker 6: head to head.
Speaker 3: Let's it's delve even more into this game and do
Speaker 3: some math.
Speaker 2: Poka Nko got run from last week's game? Does he
Speaker 2: bounce back this week for sixty nine yards?
Speaker 6: Cynthia, Sure it does. I mean that's a low number. Ultimately,
Speaker 6: you're watching right here. What do both of these teams
Speaker 6: do really well? Both offenses they come from the same
Speaker 6: Shanahan tree. They lying liar, who lies? Just kidding, But
Speaker 6: ultimately they hit a bunch of good yacks, so yards
Speaker 6: after the catch, so it doesn't necessarily need to be
Speaker 6: on such deep passes. It can be into space, it
Speaker 6: can be getting him the opportunity to just earn extra
Speaker 6: yards because of the way that they structure their offense.
Speaker 6: So I think that number is too low. Over seventy,
Speaker 6: let's get.
Speaker 3: Some more props for the game.
Speaker 2: At one and a half passing touchdowns Matthew Stafford over
Speaker 2: to sixty and a half Kyra and over eighty four
Speaker 2: and a half Tyreek Hill five and a half receptions
Speaker 2: and Cooper Cup at sixty five and.
Speaker 3: A half receiving yards.
Speaker 2: Let's go to some quick picks, run through some games.
Speaker 2: We've got a huge matchup between the Broncos and Chiefs
Speaker 2: and Arrowhead. Will Denver be the first team to knock
Speaker 2: off case?
Speaker 4: I think they have a chance. I have the Chiefs
Speaker 4: winning this game, but only by three. I really like
Speaker 4: Broncos plus eight because of what they showed last year.
Speaker 4: Vance Joseph versus this Chiefs. You might not remember it.
Speaker 4: They played two different times. You might not remember many
Speaker 4: touchdowns in one of the games. The Broncos won twenty
Speaker 4: four to nine. That happened the other game. It was
Speaker 4: a defensive struggle too, so again points per game. This
Speaker 4: defense is even better this year. The Chiefs are coming
Speaker 4: off a short week Monday night. They played eighty three
Speaker 4: plays on Monday night going into overtime, They're going to
Speaker 4: be tired. It's a division matchup, close game. We're feeling it.
Speaker 4: We agreed on this on NFL Daily. We were aligned
Speaker 4: Broncard right.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll see if I could talk to them into
Speaker 2: picking the Broncos straight up. The Vikings in jag Cynthia
Speaker 2: down in Duval, Trevor Lawrence dealing with the shoulder injury,
Speaker 2: unlikely to play, could be Jacksonville native Matt Jones.
Speaker 3: Tom, how does it go?
Speaker 5: Minnesota's gonna have a really good day.
Speaker 6: Twenty five to nineteen is the forecast and score right now. Now,
Speaker 6: if we get even more clarity about who's not playing
Speaker 6: or whatever, that could change a little bit more, but
Speaker 6: it's not going to change the winner, and it's not
Speaker 6: going to change by how much. So when I'm looking
Speaker 6: at this, just give a little love to Harrison Smith.
Speaker 6: This guy has been all over He's like one hundred
Speaker 6: in football terms. We talk about these guys, these safeties
Speaker 6: being young and whatever. Arison Smith's been doing it and
Speaker 6: doing it at a high level for such a long time.
Speaker 6: He's a key piece of the Brian Flores defense. Look
Speaker 6: Out for twenty two. He's just going to be a
Speaker 6: absolute problem, a nightmare for any quarterback, let alone Mac
Speaker 6: Jones or whoever might be behind center for the jack.
Speaker 3: Greg forecast is the twenty six to nine nine.
Speaker 5: Twenty six to nine, Yeah, that actually could.
Speaker 4: Be very like twenty twenty three Patriots scorer Mac Jones
Speaker 4: will put out there.
Speaker 2: Bills and Colts. Joe Flacco starting again for Indie. Buffalo
Speaker 2: won four in a row. I think they make it five,
Speaker 2: and I know it's kind of trite to say I've
Speaker 2: got a twenty seven to fourteen win. I think the
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills have the advantage in the quarterback matchup here
Speaker 2: with Josh Allen. But if you have an NFL pro account,
Speaker 2: which you should all of, you go look at individual
Speaker 2: metric matchups. Click on the passing game page. The Bills
Speaker 2: have an advantage in every category over the Colts defense
Speaker 2: except deep passing, and even that one's a slim margin
Speaker 2: for the Colts. I also like an individual player matchup
Speaker 2: that I think we may talk about living in this show.
Speaker 3: It is time for more or less Germany. Addition, as we.
Speaker 2: Dive in as a player props, We've got our phonn
Speaker 2: finger For Giants and Panthers, Greg's up first, more or
Speaker 2: less than two hundred and three and a half passing
Speaker 2: yards for senior dime.
Speaker 4: I'm going less because you don't need to throw against
Speaker 4: the Panthers, so when you're just gonna run, it's gonna
Speaker 4: be a big dimes on the ground game. So they
Speaker 4: gave me this prop and I'm not trying to be
Speaker 4: a downer. I just think they're gonna score plenty, have
Speaker 4: a lead, run the ball, and it's more efficient dimes
Speaker 4: instead of explosive dimes.
Speaker 2: Less all right, let's get Let's say if we can
Speaker 2: get more on a dimes passing stat relative to malik
Speaker 2: neighbor Cynthia.
Speaker 3: Does he go over seventy five receiving yards?
Speaker 5: Ick have a mayor? I have more? Why? Because more
Speaker 5: is more fun.
Speaker 6: You will see that I have seventy four yards for
Speaker 6: him as my median projection. However, we're going with more
Speaker 6: because everybody likes fun, and you know what we have
Speaker 6: in America everything. We're just like excess everything. So we're
Speaker 6: gonna bring America to them. And so it's gonna be more. Mayor,
Speaker 6: Ick have a mare, which means I have more.
Speaker 2: Well, now I feel horrible. The Panthers just came to
Speaker 2: a hubard or contract extension. Will they have more than
Speaker 2: or less than sixty.
Speaker 3: Five and a half rushing yards?
Speaker 2: I think he gets sixty two, So I just I
Speaker 2: have to say that it's going to be less because
Speaker 2: I think Bryce Young and the Panthers are going to
Speaker 2: be in a situation surprise surprise, where they're playing from behind,
Speaker 2: maybe more passing attempts. Tuba gets very very close to
Speaker 2: the number, but I don't think he hit sixty five
Speaker 2: and a half rushing yards. Still looking forward to that
Speaker 2: matchup in Munich again. You can catch it nine thirty
Speaker 2: am Eastern on NFL Network as well as NFL Plus.
Speaker 2: We think it's more watch more football on NFL Network.
Speaker 2: That's a unanimous more from us. Now, let's go in
Speaker 2: the wayback machine and send it to well. Last April
Speaker 2: with the first overall pick, that Bear selected USC quarterback
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. Two picks later, the Patriots found their new
Speaker 2: face of the franchise in U n c QB Drake May.
Speaker 2: The two rookies now set to face each other for
Speaker 2: the first time on Sunday. We'll be comparing these guys
Speaker 2: for years, as it's time to seize the season. Presented
Speaker 2: by Caesar's Sportsbook, The Patriots at the Bears. Here are
Speaker 2: the first touchdown score odds. It's both running Backson Swift
Speaker 2: and Rmandre Stevenson. Follow up by all Bears DJ Moore,
Speaker 2: Roshawn Johnson and rome o'doonse let's have more discussion about
Speaker 2: this game. Caleb and the Bears have dropped two in
Speaker 2: a row, but haven't lost at home this season. Rich
Speaker 2: Ricky quarterback is walking away from this one victorious.
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, my hands feel weird taking him
Speaker 6: out of up and down arrows, but I have Chicago
Speaker 6: winning this one by a touchdown. Our esteemed producer reminds
Speaker 6: me that Chicago keeps making.
Speaker 5: Me eat my own lunch.
Speaker 6: However, I'm taking them in this matchup. When I'm looking
Speaker 6: at Caleb Williams opportunities, it's really on shorter passes, so
Speaker 6: anything sub twenty are yards. Those are the passes where
Speaker 6: he's had a nice completion percentage. Look at Cole Comet,
Speaker 6: because absolutely Caleb Williams will be looking that way. I
Speaker 6: think some of the opportunities here to use heavier personnel
Speaker 6: set's like two tight end sets for example, or maybe
Speaker 6: even adding an extra o lineman. Heck, let's make it fun, right,
Speaker 6: This will be a great opportunity for them to look
Speaker 6: a little bit more like the offense that Bears fans were.
Speaker 5: Expecting, because this Patriots defense.
Speaker 6: Doesn't bring the heat with pressure, so this is an
Speaker 6: opportunity for a get right moment for Caleb Williams and
Speaker 6: Bears fans.
Speaker 5: It'll be okay.
Speaker 4: I promise it will be okay if they win this game.
Speaker 4: If they don't, it would be very.
Speaker 6: But also, Bears fans, keep your grubby pause off of
Speaker 6: Ben Johnson.
Speaker 5: That's all I have to say here.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's fair. And Ben Johnson might not want to
Speaker 4: go to this division too many good coaches, but there
Speaker 4: could be a coach and change. I don't think the
Speaker 4: Bears lose this game. I think they win. It's nineteen seventeen,
Speaker 4: it's close. I really like the Patriots to cover that
Speaker 4: six points the Bears. The vibes are just horrendous right now.
Speaker 4: And Drake May is playing really well. I know he's
Speaker 4: not getting a lot of help, but their best play
Speaker 4: for the Patriots. And yes, this was very exciting, but
Speaker 4: there's more examples of this is just Drake May doing stuff.
Speaker 4: It's just second reaction creativity. Caleb Williams is trying to
Speaker 4: do that too, but it just seems like he's thinking
Speaker 4: too much and there's a lot going against him in
Speaker 4: terms of the offensive line, and the receivers aren't all
Speaker 4: on the same page. Drake may is making plays. It's
Speaker 4: a lot of improv improv and that can't work week
Speaker 4: after week, and that's a lot to carry a franchise
Speaker 4: as a rookie. So I think they lose, but I
Speaker 4: think Drake May shows out like he's been showing out
Speaker 4: and giving us confidence that he's going to play better
Speaker 4: down the road.
Speaker 2: He actually apologized for that eleven second scrambles, saying he
Speaker 2: had Hunter Henry open. It's fine, Drake, continue having this
Speaker 2: team on your back, and I do have the Bears
Speaker 2: in this one. It's a twenty to eighteen win because
Speaker 2: this Bears run game, it at least exists the Patriots
Speaker 2: run game. It's literally just Drake may. Ormandre had that
Speaker 2: catch late against the Titans. But other than that, I
Speaker 2: just think the sustained playmaking ability of DeAndre Swift is
Speaker 2: a difference in this one. The Bears three of their
Speaker 2: four wins, he's had over one hundred yards from scrimmage.
Speaker 2: He also hit that number against the Commanders. Maybe he
Speaker 2: could have got another carry at the goal line and
Speaker 2: gotten them the five wins. But we're all on the
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears in this matchup.
Speaker 4: Mem Us Away, I really want to take the Patriots.
Speaker 4: I mean last week, the viewers don't even know. At
Speaker 4: the last second I starched that pick to the Patriots.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to do it because I was burnt,
Speaker 4: but I want to do it. I don't believe in
Speaker 4: you Bears. The vibes. They could not be worse out Chicago.
Speaker 6: Wait, do you think that means DJ Moore's gonna sar
Speaker 6: a touchdown this week?
Speaker 4: No? No, DT Morris start running those finishing those routes.
Speaker 3: But now as things is, maybe they're watching now. Greg
Speaker 3: has motivated the Chicago Bears because he.
Speaker 6: Billboard material, you know, bolton board material right there.
Speaker 3: Just put it outside, put on the highway.

Speaker 2: jumped over. It's the best description of that play I
Speaker 2: can possibly imagine. Time for quick picks Eagles and Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Cooper Rush starting with dak out rushes five and one
Speaker 2: in his career as the starter QB wins.
Speaker 3: Does he get the six and ones?
Speaker 6: Not a stat No, he doesn't. Twenty seven to nineteen.
Speaker 6: There's gonna be some Cooper on Cooper crime in this matchup.
Speaker 5: Who am I talking about?
Speaker 6: Cooper to Gene of course, the cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 6: Now that he's healthy and in the lineup, this secondary
Speaker 6: has looked waw primo. This is kind of the icing
Speaker 6: on the cake. It was a very good draft pick
Speaker 6: for them. If you're gonna watch the Cooper in this matchup,
Speaker 6: I think the one that goes further this season.
Speaker 5: Cooper to Gen.
Speaker 6: I like Cooper Rush. It's not anti Cooper Rush. I
Speaker 6: just think that Cooper to Gen is going to have
Speaker 6: the more successful outing.
Speaker 4: It's a little anti Cowboys though. Cynthia and I have
Speaker 4: been aligned in fading these Cowboys week not even covering
Speaker 4: the spread. Patrick and I with some disrespectful score lines.
Speaker 3: Not me.
Speaker 4: I have a respect for yea team.
Speaker 2: I mean no disrespect. The respect is going to the
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 3: Just that's how it goes.
Speaker 2: Kirk Coo Chains and the Falcons were taking on the Saints.
Speaker 2: They didn't have a lot of trouble with the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: New Orleans drop seven straight.
Speaker 3: Do they turn it around?
Speaker 4: They do some things that are more powerful than x's
Speaker 4: and o's and matchups and the models. It's the fired
Speaker 4: coach principal. No team is ever going to play better
Speaker 4: after firing their coach than Dennis Allen. This is a
Speaker 4: rivalry game. You remember how last season ended with Jamis
Speaker 4: Collin the touchdown. That's when Dennis Allen started losing this team.
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith isn't happy. Crazy things happen in this rivalry.
Speaker 4: It's a four point spread, but I think the Saints
Speaker 4: win flat out. It isn't a normal fired coach principle
Speaker 4: fired coach bump, because in this case Patrick, the coaches
Speaker 4: were fired by the players. I think these players essentially
Speaker 4: got Tennis Allen out the paint and so they got
Speaker 4: to back up that firing with a big way.
Speaker 2: If you really want, if you go back and watch
Speaker 2: that video and that intense apology from Dennis Allen, you
Speaker 2: could see Darren Rizzy want the smoke and to have
Speaker 2: that conversation with Arthur Smith. Dennis Allen probably started losing
Speaker 2: his job when he went out and apologized to the
Speaker 2: Falcons on the podium.
Speaker 3: Saints fans did not like that.
Speaker 5: Like that.
Speaker 6: Darren Rizzy's awesome. By the way, Darren Rizzy is a
Speaker 6: great human being. He also has some really great memes
Speaker 6: because he makes really good sideline faces. So if you
Speaker 6: want to go have some fun, you can google back.
Speaker 4: No who agrees. Alvin Kamara says Darren Rizzy is arriz which.
Speaker 6: Is needed truly firsthand, He's awesome, like an awesome human being.
Speaker 2: Vibe boost not enough to cause me, and says thea
Speaker 2: to pick the Saints in this one, though the Titans
Speaker 2: and the Chargers next door at Sofi Stadium. Harball and
Speaker 2: Herbal have been cooking. I think they keep it rolling Sunday,
Speaker 2: winning twenty three to twenty. But I do have the
Speaker 2: Titans covering because they have one of the best players
Speaker 2: in the NFL that a lot of people gave up
Speaker 2: on during the end of his run in Dallas, and
Speaker 2: that is Tony Pollard who right now on outside runs
Speaker 2: he has three hundred and seventy nine yards after contact.
Speaker 2: That's most among all of the running backs in the league,
Speaker 2: including the King. He's getting hit behind the line over
Speaker 2: half of his carriers, but he's still got well over six.
Speaker 3: Hundred yards rushing.
Speaker 2: If Will Levis has that voice in the back of
Speaker 2: his head, if he's playing on Sunday that says, hey,
Speaker 2: watch this. Instead of doing that, he should give the
Speaker 2: ball to Tony.
Speaker 3: Pollard because he's playing really good football right now.
Speaker 2: Love to remember the Titans celebrations from NUK. You want
Speaker 2: to remember things. That helps if you write this down
Speaker 2: and we've got our player predictions for Week ten, lead.
Speaker 4: The way, Greg so I came in to our meeting
Speaker 4: today and I said, give me the over under for
Speaker 4: Drake May's rushing yards. It's got to be higher this week,
Speaker 4: like sixty seventy. This guy is like Josh Allen, but
Speaker 4: faster and no, it's twenty nine and a half giving away.
Speaker 4: Let's go over every single week. He had twenty six
Speaker 4: yards on the very first run he had of the
Speaker 4: game was the second play last week, and that was
Speaker 4: coming off unfortunately a head injury, but no worries. Seventy
Speaker 4: eighty yards every week, Drake May on the ground, forget
Speaker 4: about it. That's how you attack this Bears defense. I
Speaker 4: feel great if.
Speaker 6: You smack your hands, does that make you more believable
Speaker 6: because the answer is Aaron Jones is going to rush
Speaker 6: for more than seventy and a half yards at least
Speaker 6: seventy one. We talked about the opportunity here for this
Speaker 6: Minnesota offense to really keep things clean for Sam Donald,
Speaker 6: almost like Kirk Cousins, but ultimately Aaron Jones here will
Speaker 6: have the opportunity in a game where potentially the Jaguars
Speaker 6: aren't as competitive on offense. So I think keeping Sam
Speaker 6: Donald clean and using Aaron Jones massive day.
Speaker 4: I love this one because it's a watch them lay
Speaker 4: down situation in the second half a little bit of
Speaker 4: a warning. I'm just saying Mac Jones on the road.
Speaker 4: This team hasn't always been competing great through all four quarters.
Speaker 4: And that's an Aaron Jones getting like one hundred and
Speaker 4: eighty yards.
Speaker 2: That jectocito prediction for Greg Potentially with the Jacksonville Jaguars
Speaker 2: a couple a couple of rushing props there, I'm going
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 3: In the passing game, the Bills, Khalil Shakir will have over.
Speaker 2: Fifty five and a half receiving yards against the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 3: Main reason I feel this.
Speaker 2: Way because I've watched the Bills the past three weeks
Speaker 2: and Khalil Shakier has twenty four targets over that span.
Speaker 2: He's called a significant portion of them. He goes over
Speaker 2: this number more often than not, and I think he
Speaker 2: hits it.
Speaker 3: This is this game.
Speaker 6: Because I grew up near Germany, I feel like I
Speaker 6: need to give one for the Germany game. You're right,
Speaker 6: let's bonuses the bonus. Tyrone Tracy sees the end zone
Speaker 6: pretty simple, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They've given up more rushing touchdowns through nine weeks than
Speaker 2: literally any team since twenty sixteen. Thank you for watching
Speaker 2: game debut presented by Mercedes Benz. We hope you enjoy
Speaker 2: not just that game, but all the games. For Cynthia
Speaker 2: Freeland and Greg Rosenthal, I'm Patrick Claibomb. We will see
Speaker 2: you coming up next.
