Speaker 1: NFL Game Deview is a production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Well in the Game Debut present about Mercedes been Patrick
Speaker 2: playbound here with Greg Rosenthal and Cynthia Freeland, who have
Speaker 2: gone back and forth all season long, but Cynthia, something
Speaker 2: has changed this week.
Speaker 3: Well, we kind of haven't gone back and forth all season.
Speaker 3: That was nice of you, but it doesn't matter. It's
Speaker 3: how you finish, right, It's not how you start, it's
Speaker 3: how you finish. And right now things are okay. I
Speaker 3: didn't even know.
Speaker 4: How to Apparently this Pittsburgh Steelers, of this operation looking
Speaker 4: good all year and then at the end it just
Speaker 4: sinks and I'm getting drummed all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the dueling flexes there, Cynthia flexing that she didn't
Speaker 2: even know, Greg flexing that he's been on top all
Speaker 2: season long. But yes, with a three game lead that
Speaker 2: she was apparently not aware of at all until our meetings.
Speaker 5: I don't buy that. I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't remember some of your He's.
Speaker 4: Checking what the picks are, but it's not done yet.
Speaker 4: We got a big Week eight team. There's weird spreads
Speaker 4: all over the place.
Speaker 3: I just look at my own they focus on myself, Greg,
Speaker 3: you know, only me, I compet.
Speaker 5: With Don Drapered me. I don't even think yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: Don't think about you at all.
Speaker 2: We got more sneak diss is coming on this edition
Speaker 2: of the game debut High stakes though. When the Vikings
Speaker 2: face off against the Lions on Sunday Night Football, the
Speaker 2: winner gets the one seed in the NFC. Loser falls
Speaker 2: all the way down to five. These teams throwing haymakers
Speaker 2: when they met back in week seven. The Vikings at
Speaker 2: fourteen and two could be right there where the Lions
Speaker 2: are if they get this win on Sunday Night Football. Also,
Speaker 2: you know, keep an eye on the Falcons and the
Speaker 2: Buckses win loss situation could change that, But we're focused
Speaker 2: on the Vikings. Lions rematched in Detroit, steaks huge. As
Speaker 2: we said, very close the first time.
Speaker 7: You just saw it.
Speaker 2: What about this time in this matchup, Cynthia, what happens?
Speaker 3: Well, it was kind of interesting to see that koc
Speaker 3: that coach o'connells said that to stay healthy, because that
Speaker 3: certainly hasn't happened. But I still somehow have Detroit coming
Speaker 3: out on top by one measily point twenty seven, twenty
Speaker 3: six in the Motor City. I don't like this from
Speaker 3: the standpoint of like I'd rather hedge and like have
Speaker 3: picked Minnesota and then like just be cheering for the
Speaker 3: Lions and just be happy about it. But you know
Speaker 3: who else likes to take risk more than me?
Speaker 6: That would be the coach.
Speaker 3: And when you're looking at what Jared Gossman doing on
Speaker 3: third and fourth down last week, that was something where
Speaker 3: Dan and I guess Ben Johnson too, they're like, Hey,
Speaker 3: who cares if it's third or fourth down, We don't care.
Speaker 3: We can throw touchdowns on every single down and we're
Speaker 3: gonna keep going for it and not let our defense
Speaker 3: stay on the field because there's pretty much no one
Speaker 3: playing on the defense. So ultimately using those downs, those
Speaker 3: later downs kind of the way that you'd use second
Speaker 3: down or sometimes even first down a very interesting. Throwing
Speaker 3: touchdowns on fourth down. That's a risky strategy, but if
Speaker 3: you're going to be in the position where your entire
Speaker 3: defense is banged up, it's a risk worth taking.
Speaker 6: And it paid off last week.
Speaker 3: And that's gonna be something I think we see here too,
Speaker 3: especially considering Minnesota and later downs. They don't blitz as often,
Speaker 3: so you're gonna get better looks potentially with less blitzing.
Speaker 6: It's interesting.
Speaker 4: So you're hedging a little bit, you are, you are
Speaker 4: picking the Vikings to cover the spread.
Speaker 5: I am to cover that three AM.
Speaker 4: And I went into this week and I was almost surprised, Oh,
Speaker 4: the Lions are favored.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 4: We just kind of see that the Vikings are a
Speaker 4: better team now. And yet when I looked at this,
Speaker 4: sometimes this is not about the team. It's not about
Speaker 4: the numbers, it's not about hedging. I want to watch
Speaker 4: Sunday night. I want to root on the lines, and
Speaker 4: I believe there's something beyond the numbers that the model
Speaker 4: can't even replicate.
Speaker 5: Lions win this game by four.
Speaker 4: They cover the number, and it's because of Dan Campbell,
Speaker 4: because he's made us all believe in something greater than
Speaker 4: just the x's and o's and the Jimmy's and the
Speaker 4: Joe's and the blocking and the going for fourth down.
Speaker 4: And I just have enjoyed being part of this journey.
Speaker 4: They are America's team. I'm sorry Vikings, like I can't
Speaker 4: remember a team that had this many people that aren't
Speaker 4: Lions fans backing them.
Speaker 5: And so even though I kind.
Speaker 4: Of think the Lions aren't as good because of their
Speaker 4: defensive talent ultimately in the back seven, especially at cornerback
Speaker 4: and linebacker.
Speaker 5: Ultimately, I look.
Speaker 4: At the just the games they've been in. They've been
Speaker 4: making this journey for three years. You think about a
Speaker 4: couple of years ago on Sunday Night Football when they
Speaker 4: beat the Packers, and I just feel like they are
Speaker 4: hard and just like Dan Campbell said, they've got special
Speaker 4: players in golf and Gibbs, and they find a way
Speaker 4: somehow to get it done and get themselves a little break.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little brick that's needed for a team that's
Speaker 2: dealing with all these injuries. Guys, that's unanimous. I have
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions winning also by one. I'll give both
Speaker 2: teams one more point than Cynthia. There might score twenty
Speaker 2: eight to twenty seven, because I think there's going to
Speaker 2: be high scores. The Lions clearly have those problems with
Speaker 2: injuries on defense, but there are two parts of this
Speaker 2: Lion's defense that are there and playing well.
Speaker 7: It is Kirby Joseph who leads the NFL in interceptions.
Speaker 2: Talking about Pro Bowl snubs, i'n't the way that he
Speaker 2: has played this season. Also, Brian Branch in the secondary,
Speaker 2: Sam Donald almost half of his attempts are past the
Speaker 2: sticks and the intermediate defense for the Detroit Lions secondary
Speaker 2: top three in the entire NFL. I know they are hurt,
Speaker 2: but if we're gonna pick the quarterback to make mistakes,
Speaker 2: we saw Donald with those high throws last week against
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. Jared Goff hasn't made those mistakes.
Speaker 2: I think Jared and the Lions gonna win here.
Speaker 4: They're gonna meme us, meme away. Viking spander the most
Speaker 4: likely to meme.
Speaker 2: Look at the blowouts that we have collectively six points
Speaker 2: between us.
Speaker 7: We respect the Vikings. Just feel like the Lions are
Speaker 7: gonna win this game at home.
Speaker 2: Moving to the AFC, the Bengals might be the one
Speaker 2: team opponents do not want to see in the postseas
Speaker 2: they are still alive. Here's what they need. This list
Speaker 2: was a lot longer a couple of weeks ago, but
Speaker 2: the Bengals need to get a win against the Steelers
Speaker 2: and then see the Broncos lose to the Chiefs and
Speaker 2: the Dolphins lose or have a tie against the New
Speaker 2: York Jets, but those things will happen afterwards. With the
Speaker 2: Bengals Steelers on Saturday night, Pittsburgh already clinched the playoff spot,
Speaker 2: since he needs that win to keep their dream alive.
Speaker 7: Do they get that winger.
Speaker 4: I don't think they do. It would be better for
Speaker 4: our entertainment purposes. On Sunday, but I think the Bengals
Speaker 4: lose for the first time in a while since they
Speaker 4: last played the Steelers Pittsburgh wins twenty three to twenty
Speaker 4: because sometimes you got to believe that there's a character
Speaker 4: to a team, and it doesn't make sense you add
Speaker 4: up fifty three different guys and yet the same thing
Speaker 4: keeps happening over and over. And what I keep seeing
Speaker 4: happen this season if you go all the way back
Speaker 4: to the beginning with this Bengals team, is they just.
Speaker 5: Find ways to lose close games.
Speaker 4: And it's mostly because of those guys in the secondary
Speaker 4: in the defense, and they've been better defensively lately, but
Speaker 4: it's mostly because they're getting turnovers. They're not really getting
Speaker 4: a lot of stops or forcing mistakes. And you're watching
Speaker 4: all these games over the course of the season, whether
Speaker 4: it's in the division to the Ravens or the Steelers,
Speaker 4: and they're.
Speaker 5: All good opponents.
Speaker 4: Well here's another one, Pittsburgh, and there's something I believe
Speaker 4: that's in their DNA in Pittsburgh. I want to believe
Speaker 4: they're different than the other Mike Tomlin teams that have
Speaker 4: been nine and eight, ten and seven, not really that good.
Speaker 4: I want to believe this team is an eleven and
Speaker 4: six type of team that actually finishes the season strong
Speaker 4: and gets this win on Saturday.
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Greg, I think the Pittsburgh Steelers
Speaker 2: win as well. I've got a twenty nine to twenty
Speaker 2: eight win by this Steelers team. I would probably feel
Speaker 2: different if both Nicks and the Broncos didn't absolutely evaporate
Speaker 2: through the Bengals and score that touchdown on Saturday last week.
Speaker 2: And I look back at the very last time these
Speaker 2: two teams played when other than an interception on the
Speaker 2: opening drive, which could have easily been defensive pass interference,
Speaker 2: this was the best game that Russell Wilson has played,
Speaker 2: maybe in the last five years. He was incredibly through
Speaker 2: for four hundred yards. The Steelers could.
Speaker 7: Not be stopped.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I saw this Bengals pass rush not being
Speaker 2: able to cause a whole lot of problems. There were
Speaker 2: some mistakes, as Greg mentioned, has been the only reason
Speaker 2: the Bengals have been able to get off the field lately.
Speaker 2: The opposition hasn't been that well. I can't get this.
Speaker 7: Out of my mind. I'm going with the Steelers winning, Cynthia.
Speaker 3: You guys are letting me take the bank ah by myself.
Speaker 6: Okay, good fine.
Speaker 3: Cincinnati wins twenty six to twenty for prime number, this one.
Speaker 3: I like as far as prime numbers go. Why because
Speaker 3: you don't just have Joe Burrow who's playing out of
Speaker 3: his mind. You don't just have Jamar Chase also playing
Speaker 3: out of his mind, probably gonna win the Triple Crown.
Speaker 6: You also have number five.
Speaker 3: Who recently just signed with the same agent as Number one.
Speaker 6: That would be Jamar Chase.
Speaker 3: And I think this is going to be an interesting
Speaker 3: situation where both of these guys, maybe not on the
Speaker 3: same team, but get a huge payday. In large part
Speaker 3: because of how the end of this season has looked.
Speaker 6: T Higgins since returning for injury.
Speaker 3: Oh, all he's done is score touchdowns at least one
Speaker 3: in games and then at least seventy five years this
Speaker 3: is the only wide receiver duo with ten or more
Speaker 3: touchdowns each.
Speaker 6: Chase has sixteen, t Higgins has ten.
Speaker 3: I think that the dual threat there is going to
Speaker 3: be too much for the Pittsburgh Steelers to overcome.
Speaker 2: All right, so no, it's no meme, but we do
Speaker 2: have Cynthia all by herself with the favorites, and the
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals will see it.
Speaker 7: Hell thumbs down, Jamar t I'll.
Speaker 2: Take a better rate if you guys want to sign
Speaker 2: with me. It's time for expert playmakers presented by into
Speaker 2: It Tobo attacks.
Speaker 7: We talked about the other option.
Speaker 2: Cynthia, Well, Jamar Chase have over ninety two receiving yards
Speaker 2: in this game.
Speaker 3: I have ninety nine, which is more than ninety two.
Speaker 3: I think that this game is really going to come
Speaker 3: down to I think it's going to be a nice
Speaker 3: game with lots of passing yards. If you're looking at
Speaker 3: where in the game you're going to get these yards
Speaker 3: coming from, well, it's what happens when Joe Burrow is
Speaker 3: not under pressure, which his O line has kept him
Speaker 3: from pressure, and they kept TJ.
Speaker 6: Watt and check.
Speaker 3: So look, here's what I'm gonna say Jamar Chase ninety
Speaker 3: nine yards.
Speaker 2: I like it all right, A fun game in the AFC.
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at that AFC playoff picture where yeah,
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs have wrapped up the bye, but
Speaker 2: this game between the Chiefs and the Broncos determines the
Speaker 2: future for both of those teams in the hunt, the
Speaker 2: Dolphins and the Bengals. So let's dive in to this
Speaker 2: matchup between the Chiefs and the Broncos. Casey gets the
Speaker 2: one seed, they will be wrestling starters. No Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 2: no Chris Jones. If Denver wins, they lynch the final
Speaker 2: wild card spot in the AFC.
Speaker 7: How do you see this going something?
Speaker 3: I think it's a closer than expecting game out, but
Speaker 3: that way, I have twenty five to sixteen in favor
Speaker 3: of Denver. I'm looking at bo Nix and his evolution
Speaker 3: from the beginning of the season. I think we need
Speaker 3: to kind of believe Sean Payton a little bit more.
Speaker 6: Before the season started, we were.
Speaker 3: Kind of like, well, he's played a whole bunch of
Speaker 3: he's old, you know, bo Nick says in he's old,
Speaker 3: and we've seen some turnovers.
Speaker 6: We don't know what to expect and then Sean Payton.
Speaker 3: Comes along watches him throw like six passes, like this
Speaker 3: is the next Drew Brees. Now I'm not going to
Speaker 3: call him the next Drew Brees, but I am going
Speaker 3: to say we've seen such a stark contrast from the
Speaker 3: beginning of the season to the end and his evolution,
Speaker 3: his strategic use of the run game, his strategic I
Speaker 3: do want to see how overall the Broncos run game
Speaker 3: looks in this matchup, but I think it's a nice
Speaker 3: solid win, just maybe a little closer than the number
Speaker 3: is predicted.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So it's the first game we're talking about. We're talking
Speaker 4: about who's sitting and who's playing. Carson Wentz is starting
Speaker 4: for the Chiefs and that's why you see that monster number.
Speaker 5: I think the Chiefs cover that number.
Speaker 4: So Cynthia and I think the Broncos win and they
Speaker 4: ultimately go to the playoffs because they're different than old
Speaker 4: Broncos team, because they have superstar quality players. This has
Speaker 4: been such a one sided matchup Denver in Kansas City
Speaker 4: over the last six seven years, but if you think
Speaker 4: back to earlier this season, it was a very close game,
Speaker 4: and it's partly because they have premier talent. You're watching
Speaker 4: Zach Allen, who made the Pro Bowl, who might make
Speaker 4: All Pro, who if he had a different name, would
Speaker 4: be a star at this point because he's playing at
Speaker 4: a star level. You're looking at Patrick's.
Speaker 7: Back if his name was like Razor Allen.
Speaker 4: I came up as a third round pick and he's
Speaker 4: just not a well known guy because he comes from Arizona.
Speaker 4: Patrick's defensive Player of the Year, premier talent. And I
Speaker 4: would throw Quinn Miners in there, who probably should have
Speaker 4: been on the Pro Bowl team or an All Pro.
Speaker 4: But three guys who might be the very best at
Speaker 4: their particular position. That's enough to get them through what
Speaker 4: I think will be an anxious, closer game than Broncos
Speaker 4: fans really want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've also so got the Denver Broncos not necessarily
Speaker 2: covering that line because rosters are only so big in
Speaker 2: the NFL. The Chiefs have had injuries at skill positions.
Speaker 2: Some people have to play, and so I think it's
Speaker 2: closer there. I got a five point win. But we
Speaker 2: are meming here, and Greg mentioned all the talent on
Speaker 2: this Denver Broncos team. Let's discuss Courtland Sudden. What a
Speaker 2: season for him. He's making difficult catches. He's making he's
Speaker 2: like the only guy on the team.
Speaker 7: That's doing it.
Speaker 2: Thirteen catches this season with a sub fifty percent completion probability,
Speaker 2: more than all other Broncos receivers combined. Just a really
Speaker 2: good season for a really good player, for this old,
Speaker 2: elderly twenty five year old, twenty four year old quarterback
Speaker 2: who turned twenty five in February in Bonnicks.
Speaker 7: But it was the critiques and people.
Speaker 6: I didn't make it up.
Speaker 3: I'm not like shaming. I'm not old shaming him. I'm
Speaker 3: just saying that that was one of the draft notes him.
Speaker 6: He's old. Yeah, I didn't say it. I just said it.
Speaker 2: Was like like a couple months older than Jaydon Daniels,
Speaker 2: like Jill Ever, Right, they're not going to dry up
Speaker 2: playing football. Saints Bucks in Tampa, Baker coming off a
Speaker 2: smooth five touchdown performance against the Panthers.
Speaker 7: If the Bucks win Sunday, they.
Speaker 2: Clinch the NFC South in a spot in the playoffs.
Speaker 7: Do they take care of business?
Speaker 6: Cynthia, Heck yeah, they do. Thirty to thirteen is my score.
Speaker 3: In Mike Evans, he gets his next one thousand yard season.
Speaker 6: That makes it eleven. He needs eighty five yards.
Speaker 3: That feels super manageable for him, maybe even in the
Speaker 3: first half. Then they can sid him in the second
Speaker 3: half well on their way to the postseason.
Speaker 7: I believe they do so as well. Baker plays well.
Speaker 2: But the guy that has been the big spark in
Speaker 2: this late season push by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as
Speaker 2: their rookie running back Bucky Irving, who I think has
Speaker 2: great things to look forward to. Tampa Bay wins at
Speaker 2: twenty four to thirteen, powered by their one thousand yard
Speaker 2: rusher and Bucky Irving, who has a whole lot of
Speaker 2: yards against the Carolina Panthers this season. And I recognize
Speaker 2: those helped statistically, but look at what he's been able
Speaker 2: to do down the stretch, especially those wins on the road,
Speaker 2: and now they're back at home. I think Bucky Irving
Speaker 2: powers this Bucks offense to another win.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to.
Speaker 4: Be tough for Falcons fans watching this because they're just
Speaker 4: hoping for a chance, and I think there is no chance.
Speaker 4: I think the Bucks roll thirty seven to eleven is
Speaker 4: my score. And I'm going to talk about Shaq Barrett,
Speaker 4: who is now on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yeah, one
Speaker 4: of the Super Bowl heros when they won back in
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty season, was so good off the edge
Speaker 4: for them. Retired, came out of retirement, was with the
Speaker 4: Dolphins for a little while, and eventually they'd let him
Speaker 4: go so he could play on a team he'd rather
Speaker 4: play for.
Speaker 5: He's very close with Todd Bowles.
Speaker 4: He's been through a lot lately in terms of his
Speaker 4: personal life, and he said when he was retired, it
Speaker 4: sort of reignited his.
Speaker 5: Love for the game. So I think that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4: They could use a pass rusher, just something to watch
Speaker 4: down the stretch, something they're someone they're really excited to
Speaker 4: have back.
Speaker 7: In the build.
Speaker 2: Yeah, quite a luxury, be like, oh yeah, let's bring
Speaker 2: Shaq Barrett back and go win this division.
Speaker 7: Let's take a look at the odds to win. It's
Speaker 7: not NFC.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, the Falcons are looking at this Bucks
Speaker 2: game against the Saints, the fourteen hundred.
Speaker 4: We should have been listened to me before the season.
Speaker 4: You can check out my division picks. I had the
Speaker 4: Bucks to win it when everyone was on the Falcons.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it wasn't even close. All it took was an
Speaker 7: over top loss to me.
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders for those Falcons who have the Panthers coming
Speaker 2: up in Lanta again, needs a win here plus the
Speaker 2: Bucks to lose.
Speaker 7: How's that one gonna go? Greg?
Speaker 4: I think the Falcons do win this game, and I
Speaker 4: think it's an important game for them to prove kind
Speaker 4: of they've taken a step. Losing two straight at the
Speaker 4: end would be disappointing, but Michael Pennox gets them a
Speaker 4: close win twenty six to twenty three. I like the
Speaker 4: Panthers a lot to cover this eight point spread because
Speaker 4: to me, the Falcons have not earned the right to
Speaker 4: be this huge and favorite against a good quarterback in
Speaker 4: Bryce Young. And yet what we've seen out of Michael
Speaker 4: Pennox the last couple of weeks I think will give
Speaker 4: the Falcons and their fans optimism heading into the off season.
Speaker 4: Look at that pass when he throws those out routes
Speaker 4: down the field, that it gets there so fast that
Speaker 4: the decision making is right, The poise is terrific. The
Speaker 4: movement ability and all that like that'll come with time,
Speaker 4: but he certainly is moving better than Kirk Cousins, So
Speaker 4: I think it's ultimately a positive how they finished.
Speaker 5: As long as they win this game, don't lose it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the winning opportunity comes easy here.
Speaker 7: I got the Falcons.
Speaker 2: Winning twenty four to sixteen, mainly not just taking shots
Speaker 2: at Bryce Young and his Panthers offense, but the run
Speaker 2: defense is historically bad in Carolina. They've given up twenty
Speaker 2: eight hundred yards rushing this season, and in terms of
Speaker 2: EPA against, they're the second worst rush defense in the
Speaker 2: history of the Next Gen Stats era, going all the
Speaker 2: way back to twenty and sixteen. And that means Bjeon
Speaker 2: Robinson will have an incredible opportunity. He's got six touchdowns
Speaker 2: in his last five games, one hundred and twenty five
Speaker 2: yards and one of them ninety four with two touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Ninety with two touchdowns a week ago.
Speaker 7: Big week for Bijon and the Falcons.
Speaker 2: Well, they have to rely on the Saints, which is
Speaker 2: a tough spot for Falcons fans to be in.
Speaker 5: Sid Yeah.
Speaker 3: I have Atlanta winning too, but only by seven points,
Speaker 3: so just one touchdown twenty six to nineteen, meme away.
Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, I just feel like we should say at
Speaker 3: least one nice thing about the Panthers and that's about
Speaker 3: Adam Thielen, Adam Felen's ability to really help Bryce Young out,
Speaker 3: especially after kind of a weird beginning of the season.
Speaker 6: Things were not good.
Speaker 3: There were some injuries, there's a lot of It was
Speaker 3: a really tough season overall for this entire offense. But
Speaker 3: I've been watching the routes that he's been running, I've
Speaker 3: been watching him get open.
Speaker 6: I've been watching a.
Speaker 3: Lot of fun things from Adam Thielen, and I think
Speaker 3: that that has really helped Bryce Young. So if we're
Speaker 3: looking for something positive here, look at the connection between
Speaker 3: those two.
Speaker 2: Look at the dimes being dropped about number nine out there.
Speaker 5: No, no, you're right. Steelan was supposed to be washed
Speaker 5: up years ago. He's not washed up and he's amazing.
Speaker 2: Stop ending people's careers like both of those players who
Speaker 2: had a great turnaround this season. When we come back,
Speaker 2: Tyreek and the Dolphins need a win to keep their
Speaker 2: playoff dreams alive. They're going to MetLife to take on
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers and the powerful Jets. Aaron would love to
Speaker 2: crush the Fins and what could be his final game
Speaker 2: as a Jet.
Speaker 7: Maybe he is anyone who's gonna win. Find out coming

Speaker 2: presented by Caesar sportsbook Is. I'm sure the folks in
Speaker 2: Rome would be able to read those numerals a.
Speaker 7: Whole lot better than me. The Dolphins at the.
Speaker 2: Jets' first touchdown score odds, it doesn't look like we're
Speaker 2: very confident that the touchdown will be scored, but for
Speaker 2: because the odds team up for VRSS Hoggen in Theilme
Speaker 2: Devon Hm, Devonte Adams, Tyreek Hill, Garrett Wilson. Miami needs
Speaker 2: a win to stay alive in the playoff Hunt a
Speaker 2: win and hoping the Chiefs can be the Broncos who
Speaker 2: as dealing with a hip injury. So Snoop Huntley pro bowler,
Speaker 2: Snoopuntley starting again? What do you see taking place with you?
Speaker 3: So, as of what we know right now, and this
Speaker 3: could change should their offensive line be different. I have
Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins winning by two points twenty two to twenty.
Speaker 6: It always makes me laugh whenever you ever hear that.
Speaker 3: But I just want to give a little love to
Speaker 3: John new Smith, who's been a huge reason why this
Speaker 3: team has a lot of different chances in every game.
Speaker 6: The tight end. He's been electric this year.
Speaker 3: He's been not just a guy who you can rely
Speaker 3: on to get you those crucial third downs or touchdowns,
Speaker 3: but also like he's changed his route, Like if you
Speaker 3: watch him, if you were to pan out and watch
Speaker 3: the all twenty twos, you can actually see him adjust
Speaker 3: his route really specifically. So both quarterbacks have been very
Speaker 3: happy to work with him, but also just watching his
Speaker 3: ability to get open finding separation is huge and that's
Speaker 3: part of the reason. Why not just he, but this
Speaker 3: offense has been so helpful and been part of a
Speaker 3: winning you know, as much winning as they've done and
Speaker 3: putting them in the position to at least be eligible
Speaker 3: for the playoffs in Week eighteen, and.
Speaker 2: Even there in that highlight package you see them dragging
Speaker 2: across the field. For this Dolphins offense that hasn't been
Speaker 2: able to run the ball very well down the stretch.
Speaker 2: In fact, they've actually been bad at it, which is
Speaker 2: why you.
Speaker 7: Might think I would take the Jets here.
Speaker 2: I've got the Dolphins twenty one to eighteen because the
Speaker 2: reason that you take the Jets is you believe their
Speaker 2: quarterback will complete some passes and be good.
Speaker 7: But these past few games, it has been downright bad
Speaker 7: for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: So many opportunities to complete short passes one hundred Williams
Speaker 2: ends up scoring a touchdown on this one. He had
Speaker 2: Kennybola wide open, nobody in eight yards of him last week,
Speaker 2: and he threw him a bounce pass. It's just a
Speaker 2: rough spot for me to take Aaron Rodgers and the
Speaker 2: Jets against the team that actually has an outside hope of.
Speaker 7: Going to the playoffs in this one. So yeah, I
Speaker 7: will take I'll take the Miami Dolphins as well. Great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a really tough one to pick. Now.
Speaker 4: It's been a tough year for modeling systems, like in
Speaker 4: terms of like elections or whatever like. But there is
Speaker 4: one system that's had one hundred percent success rate, and
Speaker 4: that's been fraud.
Speaker 5: Watch all season long.
Speaker 4: Both Patrick and I put the Jets on fraud Watch.
Speaker 4: They've remained fraudulent. I'm taking them off Broadwatch for Week
Speaker 4: eighteen because the Dolphins are all banged up and they're
Speaker 4: gonna get it done because of Greg Joseph. This is
Speaker 4: gonna be a game we have no touchdowns, all kicks.
Speaker 4: This is Greg Joseph in Washington. We couldn't find any
Speaker 4: grooveage Jets footage.
Speaker 5: I don't know what the number is in.
Speaker 4: Terms of seizing the season, in terms of picking a
Speaker 4: game with zero touchdown, six field goals'll get it in
Speaker 4: there because the Jets can't finish any drive, so they
Speaker 4: get six field goals. They have never finished the drive
Speaker 4: with Aaron Rodgers's quarterback, don't check that.
Speaker 5: But the Dolphins snoop punt lee.
Speaker 4: Okay, I can live with him, but they're missing both tackles,
Speaker 4: most likely Kenda Lambs on IR we don't know about
Speaker 4: Toronto Armstead as we're taping this, and that's too much.
Speaker 4: So I'm taking him off Broadwatch and Greg Joseph will
Speaker 4: deliver me a game that I need to come back on.
Speaker 5: Cynthia, do it.
Speaker 2: For Greg, Greg, although he just has one g Let's
Speaker 2: look at the draft order entering Week eighteen. These are
Speaker 2: the stakes for those of you who would like a
Speaker 2: team to lose. The Patriots right now holding on to
Speaker 2: the number one overall pick, having to fend off the Titans, Browns,
Speaker 2: and Giants all sitting currently at three and thirteen. So
Speaker 2: keep that draft order in mind as we get to
Speaker 2: some quick picks here. On Game day view, the Bills
Speaker 2: and the Patriots. Buffalo locked into the two seed in
Speaker 2: the AFC. If the Patriots win, they could miss out
Speaker 2: on the number one overall pick. So what takes place.
Speaker 3: Welcome to your DFS lineup, Mitch Trubisky. Buffalo wins twenty
Speaker 3: four to seventeen.
Speaker 6: I think this one. I want to give a little bit.
Speaker 3: Of love to the defense. We talked about a lot
Speaker 3: of things with this offense, but Greg Russo has had
Speaker 3: a really wonderful year. Of course, Von Miller's still there
Speaker 3: aj Fanessa, but bringing the heat, bringing pressure in the
Speaker 3: postseason is going to be a big deal. And you're watching,
Speaker 3: especially Greg Russo have just a breakout season.
Speaker 6: They're going to have to figure out to pay him.
Speaker 3: That's a problem for later than future them. But ultimately
Speaker 3: this is where a little bit of the difference is made.
Speaker 3: I had questions about the defense coming in and Greg
Speaker 3: Russo he has answered them.
Speaker 4: They're resting starters though we ekteen is funky when Patrick
Speaker 4: and I are picking the Patriots starters to blow the
Speaker 4: number one seed, but the Bills.
Speaker 6: Are Mitch Trubisky.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the power of Mitch Trubisky. Let's go to the
Speaker 2: Texas and Titans. Houston locked into the four seed and
Speaker 2: the AFC Tennessee has the number two overall pick.
Speaker 7: Right now, do they do they at the end of
Speaker 7: the week, grit No.
Speaker 5: I think the Titans win this game.
Speaker 4: I think the Patriots win too, because the Texans and
Speaker 4: Jamiico Ryan say they're going to play their starters and
Speaker 4: everyone has to be ready, but their starters aren't even
Speaker 4: playing well lately, especially on the defensive side. Like as
Speaker 4: great as they've been all season long, they've given up
Speaker 4: a lot of points lately, and I just don't know
Speaker 4: if they're the type of team that can go out
Speaker 4: there and play for a quarter and a half and
Speaker 4: then rest their guys and think they're going to win.
Speaker 5: That is what I expect.
Speaker 4: When coaches say they have to be ready to play
Speaker 4: and they're gonna get some work, that usually means they're
Speaker 4: not going to play the whole game the way they've
Speaker 4: been playing over the last ten weeks. What reason do
Speaker 4: I have to think Davis Mills and their backups are
Speaker 4: going to win a game.
Speaker 5: Let's go tighten.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that reason is the other team could have
Speaker 2: the number one over all.
Speaker 7: The bit good.
Speaker 5: Players don't care about that, but maybe you're right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see the Browns and Ravens Saturday afternoon. Baltimore
Speaker 2: can clinch the AFC North with a win. I think
Speaker 2: they do, although the number a little bit rich for me.
Speaker 2: I've got a twenty one to thirteen win here, and
Speaker 2: we're gonna see another quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. And
Speaker 2: if you're watching this video of Dorian Thompson Robinson and thinking, well,
Speaker 2: he turned the ball over all the time, why are
Speaker 2: we playing him instead of Jamis Winston, Well, we got
Speaker 2: another quarterback coming in who has more interceptions in his
Speaker 2: career than touchdowns. That's Bailey Zappi playing, which is why
Speaker 2: Greg Rosenthal has a thirty to eight score. Not a
Speaker 2: lot of faith in the Cleveland Browns, but I think
Speaker 2: they're playing for something, an opportunity to spoil.
Speaker 4: I mean that's generous. They scored three against the Dolphins
Speaker 4: last week.
Speaker 2: It's been rough the Giants and Eagles Philly locked into
Speaker 2: the two seed in the NFC. They're resting their starters,
Speaker 2: including Saquon the Big Blues team starters gonna win against
Speaker 2: the Eagles.
Speaker 4: A do I'm going with all the teammoots who are
Speaker 4: playing their starters blowing their draft pick. Drew Locke, It's happening,
Speaker 4: Malik Neighbors. This guy is a force of nature. That
Speaker 4: was one of the best games I can remember out
Speaker 4: of a rookie wide receiver I've ever seen.
Speaker 5: It reminded me of Odell Beckham against the Cowboys back
Speaker 5: in the day.
Speaker 4: Man, this kid can make every type of throw and
Speaker 4: I think Drew Lock has played better than the numbers
Speaker 4: indicate all season. Again, it's a bunch of starters against
Speaker 4: a bunch of backups, and that's why these numbers are
Speaker 4: so low.
Speaker 5: Minus three for the Eagles. What are you laughing at?
Speaker 7: I'm laughing at.
Speaker 2: Drew Lock throwing for like three are ars there, Melik's
Speaker 2: Neighbors running for.
Speaker 7: Fifty seven star touchdown.
Speaker 5: It's your playmakers game of his life.
Speaker 7: Drew Lock coming up the Chargers. Raiders in Vegas.
Speaker 2: Coach Harball says, if there's a chance to move up
Speaker 2: seeds in the playoffs, they are gonna take it. So
Speaker 2: LA is playing to win the game. The Raiders of
Speaker 2: one two in a row. What happens here?
Speaker 4: Greg, I think the Chargers do win this game, and
Speaker 4: they win it going to way twenty three to thirteen
Speaker 4: because Justin Herbert is playing his best ball of the
Speaker 4: year at the end of the season.
Speaker 5: That is absolutely huge. And then on the.
Speaker 4: Flip side, on defense, Derwin James has been on a
Speaker 4: sack streak. Very nice to see Derwin James rewarded with
Speaker 4: a Pro Bowl appearance. They're using him more around the
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. He also is always the happiest guy
Speaker 4: in the postgame celebration. You can tell when they talk
Speaker 4: like culture. I don't even know what that means. I
Speaker 4: think it's just having guys who are really good that
Speaker 4: care a lot. And I think Jim Harbaugh recognized Derwin
Speaker 4: James as a like minded individual, a really talented individual
Speaker 4: who cares a lot.
Speaker 5: Happy to see him doing so well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a fun team, a lot of guys to
Speaker 2: root for. I also have them scoring twenty three points.
Speaker 2: I've got to win twenty three to nineteen, and they
Speaker 2: get one of their best players on offense back and
Speaker 2: we saw JK. Dobbins be a part of this offense
Speaker 2: when they really started to play well. Played well last week,
Speaker 2: didn't have to play a lot, but what an opportunity
Speaker 2: for a guy who I think could be the comeback
Speaker 2: player of the year in the NFL.
Speaker 7: And JK.
Speaker 2: Dobbins powers this team to twenty three points early and
Speaker 2: then they could shut it down as the defense holds
Speaker 2: strong and gets this win against Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: Cynthia, I mean, twenty three seems to be the number
Speaker 3: for the Chargers. From twenty three to sixteen is my score?
Speaker 3: A touchdown win for the Chargers.
Speaker 6: Mimus Away. I just want to talk about Brock Bauers.
Speaker 3: One last time because we're probably not going to I mean,
Speaker 3: we're not talking about in the postseason, but ultimately what
Speaker 3: he's been able to do, breaking Mike Dickka's sixty three
Speaker 3: year record, that's incredible. It's all about yards after the catch,
Speaker 3: yards after the catch, over expected, all the different ways
Speaker 3: that he's been able to run, all the routes on
Speaker 3: the route treet be effective in each and every one
Speaker 3: of them. The thing about this kid is he's so quiet.
Speaker 6: We don't even hear him. He doesn't talk about it.
Speaker 3: He's not like one of those people who's telling us
Speaker 3: how amazing he is, So we get to be the
Speaker 3: mouthpiece for him. He should at least be in consideration
Speaker 3: for Offensive Player of the You're just with lad mconukey
Speaker 3: as well. But Rock Bowers an amazing talent. We're going
Speaker 3: to be watching him going forward, and you know next
Speaker 3: time we'll talk about him is probably you know in
Speaker 3: the preseason where we're doing fantasy drafts and you're gonna
Speaker 3: want to.
Speaker 5: Draft him very high.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm covering him in the Pro Bowl games
Speaker 4: very early.
Speaker 2: Same after the first half on Thursday. I know some
Speaker 2: Georgia fans would like Brock Bowers and Ladd mccaukeey'll still
Speaker 2: be there. Let's go for more or less talk to
Speaker 2: some player props for the colossal Vikings Lions matchup on
Speaker 2: Sunday night. Gretx Well one, Jared Golf, So for more
Speaker 2: or less? Wait, just one passing touch?
Speaker 4: I mean, let's throw the moon. Can I just throw
Speaker 4: it off the camera? It's over, I mean one and
Speaker 4: a half. It's never gotten any easier. Brian Flores in
Speaker 4: this defense, I'm curious how aggressive they will be, but
Speaker 4: there's usually holes in the middle of their defense. If
Speaker 4: you're going to attack the Vikings, that's where you attack them.
Speaker 4: And who is graded attacking the middle of the field.
Speaker 4: It's Jared Goff Right, there's your.
Speaker 3: Lips to whoever's in charge his ears to make that happen.
Speaker 3: Whoever's in charge, Just here, Greg, I.
Speaker 2: Will ask you about the opposition then, Cynthia, because Justin
Speaker 2: Jefferson has two one hundred yard games at his last four,
Speaker 2: does he go for more or less than ninety one
Speaker 2: and a half.
Speaker 3: Receiving you He's another guy who have ninety nine yards
Speaker 3: forecast for more yards than that. This defense is real
Speaker 3: lying there are a ton of players still on IR.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of those players at Carlton Davis specifically,
Speaker 3: I would really like to have him back for this
Speaker 3: matchup with Justin Jefferson. I think the key will be
Speaker 3: not letting both Justin Jefferson and Jordan Maddison have one
Speaker 3: hundred yards.
Speaker 6: Let's just keep it just too.
Speaker 2: Justin, Yeah, just one the Lions. I'll take one running
Speaker 2: back to Tamir Gibbs had over one hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: scrimmage yards Monday night in a game they didn't need
Speaker 2: against the Niners. Do I think he's going to go
Speaker 2: over one hundred and twenty four and a half on
Speaker 2: Sunday night in a game that the Lions would like
Speaker 2: to win that they actually have a yes, I do,
Speaker 2: because Jamiir Gibbs is so versatile, and I know this
Speaker 2: Minnesota Viking defense that Brian Flores brings into Detroit has
Speaker 2: a solid opportunity to stop the run. But Jamiir Gibbs
Speaker 2: can get you in so many different ways. Ben Johnson,
Speaker 2: while he's not calling reverse passes to his tackle, if
Speaker 2: he calls a screen, Jamia Gibbs could take out to
Speaker 2: the house.
Speaker 7: At any moment. I like him to go north. Not
Speaker 7: just one twenty five and a half. I can put
Speaker 7: that number even higher.
Speaker 2: Let's the Commanders and the Cowboys in Dallas, Washington already
Speaker 2: going to the playoffs.
Speaker 7: If they win Sunday, they stayed the sixth seed. Does
Speaker 7: that happen? Great?
Speaker 5: It does.
Speaker 4: I think this is a game where you look at
Speaker 4: the first matchup and you see the Cowboys had the
Speaker 4: upset and actually plays into the Commander's hand.
Speaker 5: They know not to take it lightly.
Speaker 4: They win twenty seven to twenty because Jayden Daniels has
Speaker 4: gone from one of the best scrambling young quarterbacks in
Speaker 4: the league just one of the best running quarterbacks in
Speaker 4: the league periods.
Speaker 5: Or just one of the best runners.
Speaker 4: I mean his decision making last week. He's so decisive.
Speaker 4: When he decides to go, he goes, and he makes
Speaker 4: people miss and then he goes quietly and smoothly out
Speaker 4: of bounds, and it's like laughing and talking to the
Speaker 4: defenders as he's doing it, Like the game seems so
Speaker 4: slow for him for a rookie, it's remarkable. And now
Speaker 4: he's going up against one of the worst rush defenses
Speaker 4: in the league.
Speaker 5: In a few.
Speaker 4: Years, I think the regular ground game can get going.
Speaker 4: But when it doesn't work, Jade Daniels will get plenty
Speaker 4: of scrambles, and I think they win this and they
Speaker 4: cover the number and make sure they go get that
Speaker 4: six seed.
Speaker 3: I have five points, so not quite covering the number.
Speaker 3: Twenty seven twenty two in favor of the Commanders.
Speaker 6: When I'm looking at this, I want to talk about.
Speaker 3: The unsung hero. That would be zach Ertz. When you're
Speaker 3: looking at Scary Terry who made the Pro Bowl, which
Speaker 3: is very exciting, You're obviously looking at Jade Daniels, who's
Speaker 3: very likely to win the Offensive Rookie.
Speaker 6: Of the Year. We kind of forget that some of.
Speaker 3: These really clutch moments, these like key third downs, these
Speaker 3: last minute touchdowns, where is he looking well when Terry
Speaker 3: m Corn isn't open, He's looking right at zach Ertz.
Speaker 3: So I'm watching this tight end and he's obviously a
Speaker 3: central figure to a Cliff Kingsbury offense. He was with
Speaker 3: him in Arizona, now he's with him in Washington. Trust,
Speaker 3: we don't talk about how zach Ertz is still getting
Speaker 3: it done even if he's not an Eagle or even
Speaker 3: at whatever, he's still great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, also beefing with Nick Sirianni in the division of fun.
Speaker 6: Fact Zach er it's so fun.
Speaker 7: That I don't have them covering the number either.
Speaker 2: I've got a slim Washington win twenty two to twenty
Speaker 2: because they've had problems running the ball. They couldn't run
Speaker 2: the ball against this Cowboys defense, which is also historically bad.
Speaker 2: That number one team rush EPA since twenty sixteen allowed
Speaker 2: is the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 7: In twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: They've been historically bad, and the Washington Commanders lost to
Speaker 2: them in the closing moments, which is the opposite of
Speaker 2: what's happened in the closing moments for the Commanders this season.
Speaker 7: Look at all of these wins. Yes, it's not just
Speaker 7: the Hail Mary.
Speaker 2: It's the late touchdown that we saw at the top
Speaker 2: against the Atlanta Falcons. It's the late touchdown in the
Speaker 2: division against the Philadelphia Eagles that was moments before Ertz
Speaker 2: and Sirianni started beefin. It's just been close, So why
Speaker 2: not have one more close game for the Washington Commanders
Speaker 2: before they go into the postseason. Here in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four season, Tom fors to do some quick picks as
Speaker 2: we are.
Speaker 7: Memed away on the Commanders.
Speaker 2: The Bears Packers in Lambeau green Bay already going to
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Bears haven't won in Green Bay since the
Speaker 2: Jordan Bulls we're playing.
Speaker 7: Does that change? Sunday, Greg, I don't know if it's true.
Speaker 5: I think that's been absolutely outrazous.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, it's obviously true.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately for the pack I mean for Bears fans. You
Speaker 4: have to watch one more game, but that's it. Then
Speaker 4: it's over. You can take a break. Thirty to seventeen.
Speaker 4: Packers win this game by doing what they've done all season,
Speaker 4: by running the second they get off the bus. So
Speaker 4: whether it's Josh Jacobs or Manuel Wilson, like, you don't
Speaker 4: need to give Jacobs thirty carries in this game. But
Speaker 4: we've seen if Malik Willis is that quarterback, they can
Speaker 4: run the ball well, he can throw the ball well.
Speaker 4: This is not a game where I'm worried about them
Speaker 4: going to the backups. If they happen to be scoreboard
Speaker 4: watching and you see Washington winning and maybe they're not
Speaker 4: playing for much, their backups are going to be a
Speaker 4: Bears team which is just ready for this season to end.
Speaker 4: This is why we can't have an eighteen game season,
Speaker 4: Roger Goodell, because nobody needs eighteen Bears games.
Speaker 2: Please, all right, the campaign begins from Greg Grossthal. Seahawks
Speaker 2: and rams La gonna be resting their starters, so we're
Speaker 2: gonna see Jimmy Garoppolo in this one. It's not because
Speaker 2: of that, but I will take Seattle to win the
Speaker 2: game eighteen to seventeen because we almost had an opportunity
Speaker 2: for this game.
Speaker 7: To really matter. It came down very.
Speaker 2: Close of ball going off Trey McBride's face mask, but
Speaker 2: just the opportunity for Jackson Smith and Jigbo who's had
Speaker 2: a tremendous season especially late here, and the Seahawks passing
Speaker 2: offense to get to ten wins against the Rams team
Speaker 2: that's going to the postseason.
Speaker 7: So a win there. We're all on the Seahawks.
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers Cardinals also win the division in Glendale,
Speaker 2: both teams out of the playoff race.
Speaker 7: Who does it for Pride.
Speaker 6: Cynthia Arizona.
Speaker 3: I guess twenty four to twenty one, and why because
Speaker 3: I think Trey McBride has a massive game. We finally
Speaker 3: saw him get in the end zone.
Speaker 6: The Great American nightmare is over. He scored.
Speaker 3: But I think in this matchup again he's going to
Speaker 3: have a nice opportunity. Obviously, tight ends wearing number eighty
Speaker 3: five are a big deal in this matchup just overall,
Speaker 3: but I think that it's going to be the eighty
Speaker 3: five for the Cardinals that sees the end zone potentially
Speaker 3: or has the bigger game.
Speaker 2: Are unanimous for us on the Cardinals. Last one Jags
Speaker 2: and Colts. I'm actually taking Matt Jones and the Jags
Speaker 2: here to win twenty three to twenty a week after
Speaker 2: seeing Drew Locke dice up this defense. But I do
Speaker 2: want to talk about Anthony Richardson, depending on his status.
Speaker 2: We are having these conversations later in the week, not
Speaker 2: as late as I would like to hear more confidence
Speaker 2: from stain Stichen about his starting quarterback playing through what
Speaker 2: could be a couple of injuries there. If Anthony Richardson,
Speaker 2: if the vibes are better about him feeling better, then I'll.
Speaker 7: Flip this pick around.
Speaker 2: But just considering all that this Colts defense has been through,
Speaker 2: that's what scares me and causes me to pick a
Speaker 2: team that could have the number one overall pick, pending
Speaker 2: results this week still to come. So your team isn't
Speaker 2: going to the playoffs, that's fine because now you can focus.
Speaker 7: On rooting against your enemies, Tess.
Speaker 2: You can spend more time checking out prop bets of
Speaker 2: the week or on a hot street props on props
Speaker 2: that's coming up next. Write this down next here on
Speaker 2: game debut.
Speaker 7: Sunday at nine am Eastern. Rich is in, Kurt Warner,
Speaker 7: Steve Maryucci.
Speaker 2: Cendia Freeland, the sar on the show, and the whole
Speaker 2: crew get you.
Speaker 7: Set for kickoff with NFL Game Day Morning.
Speaker 2: Kurt warner sits down was Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson,
Speaker 2: plus Lil Wayne and actor Oshane Jackson Junior joining the
Speaker 2: show live in studio Sunday at nine am.
Speaker 4: Did you see in the green room littl Wayne has
Speaker 4: a special section of drinks just for Little Wayne.
Speaker 7: Yeah, which is important. I'm leaving those drinks alone.
Speaker 2: There's a fun fact for you guys to note well
Speaker 2: inside baseball stuff for write this down here on game debut.
Speaker 7: Some predictions for Week eighteen. Fire us off, Greg.
Speaker 5: Okay, for back to back weeks.
Speaker 4: I've taken the Lions team total, and I've taken Jamir
Speaker 4: Gibbs's yards from scrimmage total, and I've smashed them together,
Speaker 4: and I told you to combine them to get a
Speaker 4: little extra And that's.
Speaker 5: What's gonna happen again. They keep raising the number.
Speaker 4: I don't care over one hundred and twenty four and
Speaker 4: a half scrimmageyards against a good Vikings run defense.
Speaker 5: Doesn't matter. He'll get it through the air. The team
Speaker 5: total little more worried about.
Speaker 4: Twenty nine and a half is a lot, but they
Speaker 4: have average thirty seven and a half over the last.
Speaker 5: Four weeks against some pretty good defenses.
Speaker 4: So I like the Lions offense to know they need
Speaker 4: to play their best when it matters. The most they
Speaker 4: get over thirty and Jamir Gibbs brings it home. I'm
Speaker 4: catching up the write this down segment. Picks have been
Speaker 4: hot again.
Speaker 6: I hope you're right about that one, but mostly who wins.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Bijon Robinson and I think that
Speaker 3: he has more than one hundred and fifteen and a
Speaker 3: half scrimmage jars against the Panthers. The team needs a
Speaker 3: win here, but also Bijon Robinson has been electric. I
Speaker 3: think this number is very low against a run defense
Speaker 3: that is still being run on by someone else, ran on, run,
Speaker 3: on run, whatever the past tense run is, that's what's
Speaker 3: been happening.
Speaker 2: I'm also going to take in Atlanta Falcon and it's
Speaker 2: maybe not the one you're thinking.
Speaker 5: Which all pitts.
Speaker 2: And a half receiving yards against the Panthers. Cow pits
Speaker 2: seventeen targets in the last four games, including that one
Speaker 2: in overtime, which I think, excuse me to get the
Speaker 2: game to overtime, which I think might lead to Michael
Speaker 2: Pennock Junior, targeting his big tight end a little bit more.
Speaker 7: Thanks for watching us here on.
Speaker 2: Game deviut presented by Mercedes Benz for Cynthia and Greg.
Speaker 7: I'm Patrick. We'll see you next week. Enjoy the games.
