Speaker 1: games before the final playoff pole comes out. We got

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: Pete fewt stop and buy in a few minutes. James

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Madison taking care of business. Door open for them. They

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: beat Troy tonight despite the snowballs. So now Duke's upsitte

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: of Virginia would open the door for James Madison to

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: make the college football playoff. Think about that for a second.

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: All these other teams and think about that. Think about it.

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: See now I'm doing ww villain. Think about all those

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: awful Power five conference teams. You root for, all the

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: Syracuses and the Iowas and the Washington States, and you

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: sit back and watch James Madison to make the playoff

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: over you, like, just think about that.

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: Check fine, about twelve years for you to try to

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: become me going into the cadence as it were, the

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: James Madison Dukes. I mean, come on, twelve and one

32
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: on the year, you go all the way back. What

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: a big win over Weber State and then they lost

34
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: twenty eight to fourteen to Louis and now ran the

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: table thereafter, just a first win in program history as

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 3: a as a ranked team. All of these things that

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: come to fruition. Man, who doesn't you get romantic about baseball?

38
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: We talk about that all the time in college football

39
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 3: this time of year. It's absolutely magical. Come on, I mean,

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: playing for heavy steaks and even in games that you say,

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: like we look at the big ten titles like well,

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 3: it doesn't really have the massive effect in terms of

43
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 3: a loser leaves town match. Let's keep with the WWE parlance,

44
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: shall we. It still has that great interest because you've

45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: got the quote little engine that could Indiana, you know

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 3: that used to be the basketball school that's suddenly his

47
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: rising with the guy that says I win Google me

48
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 3: as if he were a WWE villains.

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: So it's great and it sort of seems like fate

50
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: that the James Madison Dukes will be the biggest fans

51
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: of wait for it, wait for it, wait for Duke

52
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: tomorrow in college football this or I would say that,

53
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: and I would duck it run out for someone could

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: throw a punch at me. Yeah. Uh so again, more

55
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: college football coming up in about fifteen minutes. But big

56
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: week in the NFL. We have a slew of big

57
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: games to look at, you know we do. Every football

58
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Friday is extremely special for us, especially now you know

59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: we get close to Santa Claus coming down the Chimney.

60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: You're looking at big conference races and uh, no game

61
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: bigger for a team trying to stay in a race

62
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: for their division and the playoff. Another team just trying

63
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: to stay in a race for the playoff. Feel like

64
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: every win is a must win game the Texans and

65
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Sunday night football in Kansas City. This is

66
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: the biggest game of the week simply because Kansas City

67
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: maybe in a situation where their playoff hopes go goodbye

68
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: if they lose this game. I know you want to

69
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: thinking Kansas I feel like Kansas City could be like

70
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: five and ten and Fans is still gonna go, oh

71
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: they win those last two until they're mathematically out. Wait,

72
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: they finished seven to ten, they'll make the playoffs. Watch, hey,

73
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: they go three and fourteen, but they're close. Game, Like,

74
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna make excuses for the Chiefs. And this is

75
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: an incredibly large game because look, Houston has come all

76
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: the way back and and uh look right now, yes,

77
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: it's a very difficult uphill climb for them in the

78
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: AFC South, but wow, their defense is playing so well.

79
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: All of this being said, you're like, Jayson, you're gonna

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: pick against Kansas City again. I've been the Kansas City

81
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: whisper all year long. I've told you stuck up on Mahomes,

82
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: stock down on the Chiefs. Right well, everything I've said

83
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs come true. Oh you hate the Chiefs.

84
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: You're just gonna pick against him pit Kansas City. You're

85
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: gonna pick Houston. Houston's defense is incredible, it's playing at

86
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: such a high level, and Houston's offense is doing well

87
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: enough now. But this is a Mahomes game. This is

88
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: a home game at night where it's gonna be difficult

89
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: for the text to move the football and it's gonna

90
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: be a battle of what quarterback can do enough in

91
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: this game. And when you think about it that way,

92
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: there's only one pick. This is a Patrick Mahomes game,

93
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: and it's cold, it's a must win. The defense is

94
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna be great for the Texans. I'm not saying it's not,

95
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: but it's not a great setting for their offense. Put

96
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: points on the board. It'll be close. But this is

97
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: a game where Mahomes has a couple of plays where

98
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: you go, man, maybe he really is the MVP. You know,

99
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: national televised game on a Sunday night. Give me the

100
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs in this game twenty three to fourteen, and they

101
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: stay alive in the playoffs for another week, and then

102
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: next week we can all say, oh, seey told you

103
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: how great the Chiefs are.

104
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 4: All they need is again, look at this best defense

105
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 4: in the AFC blah blah blah blah blah. I'm telling

106
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 4: you it's the setting is too rough for Houston at

107
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 4: this point. The Chiefs Mahomes, they need to win more.

108
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 4: They get it on Sunday.

109
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: Houston give it up sixteen point five per game, Kansas

110
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 3: City seventh in the NFL giving up just nineteen point three.

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 3: As we watch this rollout, the big thing for me

112
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: down as many starters as they are on that offensive line.

113
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: This is one where Patrick Mahomes, to your point, has

114
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: to make MVP plays and they're gonna have to be

115
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: with his legs trying to get the hell away from

116
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 3: will Anderson and company. So that'll be the curiosity here.

117
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go with the upset. I'm gonna take

118
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: Houston to win this game outright plus three and a half,

119
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: the over under forty one and a half. So you're

120
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: going well shy of that. I can't say I disagree.

121
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: Trying to look up the weather for this one, that

122
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: look like about twenty degrees. When it's all said, we'll

123
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: see what kind of wins I look for others. Bears, Packers,

124
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 3: we're talking in the near the single digits by time

125
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: that one's deep into the fourth quarter. The Vikings it's

126
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: outside temperature, but people will be really cold getting there

127
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: and they've got nothing a cheer for.

128
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: But you know, I wonder if a team is gonna

129
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: say that, you know, the weather was a factor, but

130
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: you played indoors. Yeah, but getting to the game, it

131
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: was fun.

132
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: The fans really weren't it. It had nothing to do with

133
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: the fact that we could in dirted the ball two

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: weeks in a row. It had a better quarterback rating

135
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: than what her guys put up. But psychologically we we

136
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: just we had no juice because they were uncomfortable in

137
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: their their giant gore Tex jackets.

138
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: And plus the players coming in from the cold, they

139
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: never really acclimated to the warmth of the indoors. Uh.

140
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: It was just it was it just wasn't there for us. Man.

141
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: The weather really just hurt.

142
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: Now it's funny just you get the weather for the

143
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: cities as you scroll up, and he just kind of laughing.

144
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: We do have potential for snow, uh, for Titans and Browns,

145
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: for those three people that will watch that game. But

146
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: for this one, Yeah, I'm curious to see what the

147
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: Kansas City offense is able to do. We've seen Rashi

148
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 3: Rice back to back week with some big plays, big opportunities,

149
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: certainly for fantasy owners. Uh. And we were talking about

150
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: that side of things, Jason. We're talking last week of

151
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: the regular season for a lot of fantasy leagues. You

152
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: got your guillotine leagues and everything else where. It's like, boy,

153
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: you're doing a little handwringing looking at your quarterback positions.

154
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: Like I love you Patrick Mahomes, but to am I

155
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: risking you know, the biscuit this week for what you know?

156
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: You might get the W, but are you giving me

157
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 3: a fantasy W? And the answer is look at option

158
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: two on your roster for that one. But yeah, really

159
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: fascinating game with Houston. You get CJ. Stroud back under center.

160
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: Nico Collins has been a heavy target these last few weeks.

161
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: Davis Mills, congratulations on a job done. But that defense

162
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: is starting to get a little bit of run. I

163
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 3: think they do just enough to give CJ. Stroud the

164
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: opportunity to win and people get excited about him like

165
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: they did two years ago.

166
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned Packers Bears where the temperature is going

167
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: to be minus seventy five degrees. Cood get there.

168
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything tells me Green Bay in this game, you

169
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: can actually get in for under two hundred bucks Smith.

170
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: You believe that for a Bears Packers game Atlanta?

171
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when it's that cold, you should start paying

172
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: me to go to the You drink some hot damn

173
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: and you get after it. How long? How long does

174
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: anything hot last when you drink it at a game

175
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: like that?

176
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: It goes in my belly and it warms back up

177
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 3: and I get some more.

178
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: Like eight seconds, not even maybe Maybe you're like, oh,

179
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: that's nice and hot.

180
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: But this is one of those scenarios where you say,

181
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: to hell with the guy in the bacon wrapped hot dogs.

182
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: Are they selling me any handwarmers and foot warmers out here?

183
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: No, that's where you get the bacon wrapped hot dog

184
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: and just rub it on your face because it's under

185
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: your arm. There you go, You no feeling? Okay? Look,

186
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: everything tells me Packers in this game, right The Packers

187
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: have owned the rivalry. They're playing at home. They have

188
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: a chance to jump ahead in the NFC, But I'm

189
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: going with the Bears. I believe. Either I believe in

190
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: the Bears or I don't. And I've told you from

191
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: the beginning. Chicago always finds a way games like this,

192
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: like just just go look at what they've been doing

193
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: the entire season. They find a way in the fourth

194
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: quarter of close games. No, maybe they don't play to

195
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: their capability. A lot of that sometimes has to do

196
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: with the other team, because you know they are trying too.

197
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: I like how people want to criticize the Bears, like

198
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 1: the other team's not trying and the Bears are just

199
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: falling over their face. Oh they can't throw for three

200
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: hundred yards every week, Yeah, okay, but they ran for

201
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: two eighty last week. Sometimes they move the goalposts on

202
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: the Bears all the time, but they always find a way.

203
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: They're the better team top to bottom. However you want

204
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: to dice it up, the Bears are the better team.

205
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay is just too inconsistent. They give you efforts

206
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: even at home, where you say, what the hell was that?

207
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: How does Jordan Love come out of this game thirteen

208
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: out of twenty six for one hundred and fifty five

209
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: yards and a pick? How is that the game for

210
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: the Packers? So give me the Bears in a close game.

211
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: I love the under. You could put the under at

212
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: nineteen and a half. I would still take the under,

213
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: but the Bears are better. They find a way in

214
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, they win this game. They get turnovers

215
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: because it's what they do, and they beat the Packers.

216
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: Packers giving up about seven points fewer per game. Bears

217
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: give up also about seventy five more yards. They let

218
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: you move the ball, but opportunistic. Big question here is

219
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: how healthy and ready for a full workload is Josh

220
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: Jacobs smallest return to the lineup last week. He's pivotal

221
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: right as a Runners, particularly in the red zone, has

222
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: been their best weapon. Once to Tucker Kraft and went down.

223
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: You got a lot of trying to find out who

224
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: that next big option is. Christian Watson pops up on

225
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 3: occasion you've been waiting on jan and Red Jalen reed

226
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 3: to to come back and become part of things. You know,

227
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: we always get that graphic. He had five guys, six

228
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 3: guys with more than four hundred yards. Yeah, where's your

229
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: go to number one? And Jordan Love has been middling

230
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: throughout the season. Kind of salty that you picked the

231
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: Bears because I want assaulted you.

232
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm the one who's been telling you how good the

233
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: Bears are all season long. But I've been trying to

234
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: put you in a big positive Bears frame of mind

235
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: all year, but you typical Chicago Bears fan, where even

236
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: though we have the best record of the NF, see

237
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: something's wrong. Something is sixty and not just the final score.

238
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: I live and die with this stuff, man, and it

239
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: kills he repeatedly.

240
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: But but you understand there are two columns. There is

241
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: a win column and there is a lost ark. Okay,

242
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: that's all you need. There is a win column, and

243
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: there is a loss column, and there's also a tie column.

244
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: There is there is that does show up and now

245
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: and again, Yeah, that's great.

246
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that you know you don't like the style points,

247
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: but you don't need style points in the NFL. You

248
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: just need the ws.

249
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: But but you can win games and still see that

250
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: there are there are issues that need to be address

251
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: with your squad. The thing I like what the Bears

252
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: have been able to do is run the ball consistently.

253
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: So congratulations. Let me be the first to acknowledge Eric

254
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: b Enemy and what he's done with the run game

255
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 3: for the Bears. Al Harris gets a lot of love

256
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: for the takeaways. Let's give Eric b.

257
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: Enemy.

258
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: You know that guy once upon a time that everybody

259
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: wanted to fight on rate. He's working some magic for

260
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: that Bears offense with Ben Johnson. I think the two

261
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: headed running running game is really where this all happens.

262
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: Caanalin Williams hasn't been forced to put the ball in

263
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 3: the harm's way, not that he does that with great regularity,

264
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: but he's also not taking the negative plays that we've

265
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: seen in years past, that TJ. Watt stripsack touchdown. Notwithstanding,

266
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: taking care of the football has been paramount, which is

267
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 3: why in games like this, grind it down. Yeah, give

268
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: me the Bears in a close, low scoring game. It's

269
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 3: forty four and a half as the total. Packers given

270
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: six and a half. They should not be given six

271
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: and a half there now, just because that's the stats

272
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: to date. It's like someone just did the basic maths

273
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: said okay, that's the number for this week, and I

274
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: get it they're in Green Bay all of those things.

275
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, Micah Parsons is not the same player against

276
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: a team like the way the Bears deploy their offense.

277
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: I am going way, I'm going nineteen thirteen, not like

278
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 3: even not even sweating the under.

279
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Obviously you're not gonna swept the sequel to.

280
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: Hearing in Harrison Bordack another decade.

281
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, you think way way, way,

282
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: way way under. Uh So there it is two of

Speaker 1: thirty one fourteen, So now a ninety nine percent chance

313
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: according to the All State Playoff predictor, if Duke upsets

314
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: Virginia tomorrow, joining us now for the possibility that could

315
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: happen and the other big events of the day. Nobody

316
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: better than the owner, editor, proprietor of College Footballnews dot com.

317
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: You're one stop shopping for everything college football, all the picks,

318
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: all the prognostications, all the analysis. It is Pete Futech

319
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: beat Happy Friday Man.

320
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 6: I hate to playoff predictors and this nothing sucks the

321
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 6: soul out of sports more than all these you know

322
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 6: said you have a four percent probability of making this.

323
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 6: You know, it's like, okay, when why even try? You know, like,

324
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 6: what's the I love this how every single week there's

325
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 6: a one per chance that this team can win, and

326
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 6: then all of a sudden it does. Like oh well,

327
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 6: well yeah, I know it's not how it works. But

328
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 6: they're telling me out of one hundred times it would

329
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 6: happen once, happened once, and it happens every week. But

330
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 6: I digress. No, here, I would actually take the one percent.

331
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 6: I you know, who knows what this bunch like. You

332
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 6: can't say, okay, well you're gonna move North Texas now,

333
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 6: well maybe you do. If Duke wins pretty handily and

334
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 6: crushes Virginia and it's the Power four champ of the ACC,

335
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think it'll happen, but you know, look,

336
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 6: I mean James Madison's only win over a power four

337
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 6: team always game against the power four team was against

338
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 6: Louisville and lost by two touchdowns. You're telling me the

339
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 6: a SEC champions shouldn't be in over James Madison.

340
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: If that happens, Pete, do you really think Duke a

341
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: five loss Duke team gets that push over James Madison.

342
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 6: No, they're not to mess with it. Look here's my take,

343
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 6: and I will be I will happily eat it if

344
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 6: I'm wrong, because I'm guessing here knowing this group like

345
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 6: I do. I know it's a new group of people,

346
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 6: the committee, but knowing the playoff types and how this

347
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 6: all rolls in Grapevine like I do. The one thing

348
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 6: they don't want is controversy. And they kind of avoided

349
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 6: it all up until a few years ago. With the

350
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 6: Florida State thing. It was all kind of, oh gosh,

351
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 6: you left out, you know this team that was kind

352
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 6: of deserving it was. There's never really any big twist

353
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 6: until a couple of years ago, and now everyone seems

354
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 6: to be mad at everything. They keep being cagey about it.

355
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 6: They're cheeky and they want to leave themselves as many

356
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 6: outs as possible just in case they have to make

357
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 6: some kind of crazy president call. So they haven't come

358
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 6: out and flat said that they are going by the

359
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 6: President sent ye last year with the no punishment for

360
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 6: losing your conference championship thing. So my guess is you

361
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 6: already know who the teams are. It's the only question

362
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 6: now is whether or not b YU win tomorrow. Because

363
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 6: if if Texa Tech comes out and you know, steam

364
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 6: rolls them, we got it. That's it's over. That's it.

365
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 6: That's there's your college football playoffs.

366
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: I just want chaos, Pete. That's that's really all it

367
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 3: comes down here.

368
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 6: I mean, what would that be at this point? Would

369
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 6: it be Alabama?

370
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: See here's your chaos, right Alabama? Alabama wins, loses.

371
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 6: I mean no, Alabama would have to get destroyed because

372
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 6: here's your Because you're chaos is if you're you can't

373
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 6: selectively say we are not going to punish, you know,

374
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 6: conference championship losers, because I I kind of don't believe

375
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 6: that that's how it should be. But I get it.

376
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 6: You don't want to make going to the conference championship

377
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 6: a negative because at the moment, you know, you could say, well,

378
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 6: you know, Alabama's in, you know, they're they're right, See,

379
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 6: they're fine, they should be okay, you know, but they're

380
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 6: punished by going to have to play another game. That's

381
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 6: not right. They're not gonna do that, and they're just

382
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 6: not saying it yet. So I think they're trying to

383
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 6: create a little drama oh, well, the teams can move,

384
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 6: and oh yeah, you know they can move. If you

385
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 6: know someone else beats someone else and you know you're

386
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 6: a knockout, you have to move them up. But like, yeah,

387
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 6: at the Alabama, if it wins tomorrow, I think could

388
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 6: move up to three. And I don't think the one

389
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 6: or two Indiana house state that's it. You're if you're

390
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 6: not punishing conference champions. I think that set well. How

391
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 6: state is not going to fall further than two. Indiana's

392
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 6: not going to fall further than that. And if Alabama

393
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 6: went to moves up to three, if BYU moves up

394
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 6: to like four or five, you know, until I think

395
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 6: that's how this is going to play out, They're just

396
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 6: not gonna tell us yet because they're not exactly sure

397
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 6: what they're doing right now.

398
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: I gotta say, though, Pete tomorrow, I'm not sold on

399
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: Georgia and Alabama as as the top level national title

400
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: competitors right I'm just still just Alabama's offenses kind of

401
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: hit the skids in Georgia is not quite the the

402
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: the juggernaut they were when they won back to back.

403
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: But I like Alabama tomorrow. I mean I like Alaba

404
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: close game I think they get the offense on tracked

405
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: a little bit, and Alabama is the more desperate team

406
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: they need the W and kaln de Bor gets a

407
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: stamp win.

408
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 6: Oh my god. If I had a few days on

409
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 6: the X machine man the SEC type I had, I

410
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 6: tweeted something out about I'm done with the word gauntlet.

411
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 6: That's not a gauntleige that Alabama played, like you have

412
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 6: to remember, Yeah, okay, fine, they be a bunch of

413
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 6: rankings kind of Tennessee didn't beat a team that's going bowling. Oh,

414
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 6: Missouri's best win technically over the only win over a

415
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 6: bull bound team is Louisiana. You know, Auburn didn't beat

416
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 6: a bull bound team. Vanderbilt didn't beat anybody who beat anybody.

417
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 6: LSU didn't have a coach or an offense with Bama. Godam, Like,

418
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 6: it's yeah, there's a lot of big, flashy names, but

419
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 6: it's not that brutallest guy. So they did beat Georgia,

420
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 6: you know, Okay, they had to play Oklahoma, and okay,

421
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 6: they still lost to Florida State by double digits. And

422
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 6: that seems to be the other part of this whole

423
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 6: equation when you come to I know, if I get

424
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 6: this as Notre Dame Miami, apparently everyone went to bed

425
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 6: early during the Notre Dame Miami game back. Nobody remembers this.

426
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 6: I mean, it's the whole hilarious thing. I tweeted out

427
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 6: that no one remembers this, and everyone seems to responding

428
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 6: back with some different form of that game and not

429
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 6: recognizing that it was a tie game at twenty four

430
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 6: to twenty four with sixty five seconds to play. They're

431
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 6: acting like this is a blowout. Meanwhile, it's that fourteen

432
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 6: point blowout loss, which is actually worse than the final

433
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 6: score of alabamagainst the Florida State has been memory dumped

434
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 6: by everyone so long, super long winded way of saying,

435
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 6: I am a thousand percent with you that I'm just

436
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 6: this sec These teams are. They're fine. They just they're

437
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 6: not great. They're fine, just fine.

438
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: At Pete's you Tech where you find them on Twitter.

439
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: You can't you cannot travel to the South anymore. Pete.

440
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: You have to just stay stay in this, stay in

441
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 1: the Midwest. You're not even allowed to travel there anymore.

442
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 6: Speaking of my last few days, I simultaneously spinning sec plates.

443
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 6: I was having three different arguments at the same time,

444
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 6: still arguing about why they got twenty twenty three right

445
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 6: with Alabama Florida stay out. It was so arguing if

446
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 6: they got it wrong last year that Bama should have

447
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 6: been in an SMU out. So you think Bama's people

448
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 6: would actually see those even though they got like a

449
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 6: ton of views, and they should have seen that and

450
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 6: been okay. But no, all they are is mad at

451
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 6: me for suggesting that their team is just sort of

452
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 6: met have here. So it's it's it's been a couple

453
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 6: of days, but get there. You're again. They're fine, They're

454
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 6: gonna go and they'll get T shirts and they're be

455
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 6: on TV. And I just I don't. I'm not really

456
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 6: buying into Georgia shows up. George is the one group

457
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 6: team you remember what happens tomorrow. I think they can

458
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 6: do some damage in this thing, I don't. I'm not

459
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 6: sold on the Oklahoma offense, Ole Miss defense, no uh,

460
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 6: And I just don't think that they might all win

461
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 6: a game. But I just don't think there's a National

462
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 6: Championships champion in this buck.

463
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: If it's not Georgia at Pete futech where you find

464
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 3: him for all of your no more, no, no, no,

465
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: yes you I.

466
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: Questions all your line them up. SEC fans line them up.

467
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: Oh god, no question they have. Hey, Penn State finally

468
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: got a coach.

469
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 3: It seems like maybe they had reached out to him

470
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 3: before and the message didn't go through for mister Campbell.

471
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: But after our long nightmare is over.

472
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's it's funny, you know, Okay, he's

473
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 6: been kind of dancing with all these other programs for

474
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 6: the longest time, and you know, no, he's not leading

475
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 6: at Penn State is a big enough program. And I

476
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 6: did enjoy the America held hostage thing for the last

477
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 6: you know, seventy two hours of like, oh, Penn State

478
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 6: can't find it because well it's Penn State. They're you know,

479
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 6: they're gonna give somebody someone's gonna watch six or seven million.

480
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna.

481
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: Get what year deal with that kind of money, I mean,

482
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: with the buyouts you're getting, come on, let's go.

483
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's a it's a you know what.

484
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 6: And that's kind of the craziness about this coaching carousel.

485
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 6: You don't have to, you know, go for the you know,

486
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 6: the five run home run with Lane Kiffin here I

487
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 6: mean you can, you know you can. There's a lot

488
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 6: of good coaching hires out there. Pat Fitzgerald and Michigan State,

489
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 6: good Bob Chesney going to UCLA. Okay, I see it,

490
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 6: you know, Matt Campbell, you can see that and be

491
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 6: okay that that makes sense. The guys, you know, gets

492
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 6: to have a step up job after years and years

493
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 6: of succeeding at a place that's never won. Okay. So

494
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 6: there's a lot of ways you can get coaches that

495
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 6: just that, you know, you don't have to have all

496
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 6: the drama stuff happening. But all right, Lane Kiffin, let's

497
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 6: do what you can do. Son.

498
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: You know, I really hope he goes on game day tomorrow, Pete, Like,

499
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know right well, No, the thing is,

500
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: he said he had to stay back in Baton Rouge

501
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: because they signed it and pray on it. Yeah, but

502
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm really hoping he goes all full WWE villain when

503
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: he goes on tomorrow. But now apparently it's up in

504
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: the air.

505
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 6: I love how he it's God's fault, you know, he

506
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 6: prayed on it and had God told him take the

507
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 6: Yukon job. Like, no, of course he's gonna say, take

508
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 6: the job that pays a lot more money, you know,

509
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 6: like you isn't. That's the old joke that online that

510
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 6: Reggie White was praying on is gonna ask God? And

511
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 6: Mike Colman called and said, Reggie is God to come

512
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 6: to Green Bay. Well that's that's kind of what should

513
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 6: have happened with Lincoln. But like, look, I think he's

514
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 6: gonna go. He does enjoy this, but he's good at

515
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 6: it though, Like there's some guys who try and can't

516
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 6: pull it off, but Laane legitimately is kind of that guy.

517
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 6: And I'm still an apologist. He has been a great coach.

518
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 6: Now we get to see what he can do at

519
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 6: a massive program bound by nothing. I mean, he's only

520
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 6: a Tennessee for one year and that was a rebuild

521
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 6: and they actually did all right. He took over the

522
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 6: USC job right when the Reggie Bush sanctions and the

523
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 6: Coma penalty kicked in. Uh, and so they still had

524
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 6: an undefeated year there. But like, now we get to

525
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 6: see him do something at a program where he's got

526
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 6: all the resources, all the recruiting on. Like there, he's

527
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 6: bound by nothing, and he's already on a hot seat

528
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 6: because he hasn't won a national championship there yet.

529
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: Well, then you see in the PAC twelve, I mean

530
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 3: they lost one of their coaches as Rogers go straight

531
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 3: to Iowa State. No drama, You got tears from the

532
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: ad is one guy's out the door, but he already

533
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: makes a higher Yeah.

534
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 6: You know it's that's the kind of thing of this

535
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 6: too in your team is how do you know a

536
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 6: program likes their coach, Well, one, they either keep them

537
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 6: around when they've had a bad season, like Mike Norvell

538
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 6: or Luke Stickle, or the guy stays through the bowl

539
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 6: game or whatever the playoff run is supposed to be.

540
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 6: Because yeah, they'll kind of get along and their adults

541
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 6: and they can you know, sort of say yeah, you

542
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 6: know what, let's finish this out and see how it

543
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 6: goes and then we'll, you know, we'll take care of

544
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 6: the next job later. Know. So it's you see how

545
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 6: this is kind of working with all these places, and well,

546
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 6: look it's unfortunate, but at the moment, Washington State or

547
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 6: PAC twelve is not going to be the PAC twelve

548
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 6: we thought it was gonna be.

549
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: All right, Pete, let me ask you this tomorrow. You

550
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: talked about this a couple of weeks ago. I think

551
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: you're right on with it. The Heisman Trophy is going

552
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: to be one tomorrow. Someone's gonna have a big day.

553
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: Who is that going to be?

554
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 6: You know this as a Heisman voter, I'm not allowed

555
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 6: to speak about my vote, and I can freely talk

556
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 6: about it because I have no freaking clue who was

557
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 6: on my ballar Like, who is? Like they all it's

558
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 6: all bad. This is the worst Heisman race ever. You know,

559
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 6: either I know, everyone either wants Diego Manzell or Julian

560
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 6: Toretta or they're just you know, all these you know,

561
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 6: you got these guys who are just fine. But like,

562
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 6: you know, Diego Pavia didn't it. He's kind of Robert

563
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 6: Griffin ish like and you know his run, But Robert

564
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 6: Griffin had a couple of massive performances on a big stage,

565
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 6: and that wasn't really Pavy even though he had great

566
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 6: performances week after week, you have that one big giant win.

567
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 6: You know, it's just, you know, I guess there's nobody

568
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 6: I would guess the win. Whoever, who ever quarterback in

569
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 6: the Big Ten Championship locks, that's probably your front runner.

570
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 6: If Jeremiah Smith goes off. I mean, remember Devat Smith

571
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 6: won this in twenty twenty because he ripped apart Florida

572
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 6: in the SEC Championship. So if Jeremiah Smith, you know,

573
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 6: goes twelve touches for two hundred and nineteen yards and

574
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 6: three touchdowns, Heisman over. But it's really remember as a

575
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 6: popularity contest, it's who performs with everyone watching, because you know,

576
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 6: I don't think anybody saw it. Created a TV ranking

577
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 6: that said nobody saw Jeremiah Love play this year, So

578
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 6: I don't think he's got a real shot. And I

579
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 6: think Pavi is going to be on a lot of ballots,

580
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 6: but again, not really any massive win to jump on.

581
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 6: So I think it's you know, tomorrow, does Ty Simpson

582
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 6: rip apart Georgia. I don't know, that would probably get

583
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 6: him there. But this is just an awful, awful Heisman rate.

584
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Pete few Tell that is his

585

00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: him we said, Hi, I knew it was you. We

680
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: got more college football on the way. But look the

681
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: next few minutes, we got some big NFL games to

682
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: break down, and look, one of the biggest games this

683
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: weekend is again, I'm kind of sad that this is

684
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: one of the the biggest games because you're sad. I'm

685
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: sad because the image of this game is so not

686
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: what it's going to be on Sunday, right, Like, oh,

687
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: what you say when you say the names of these

688
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: two teams, I just think of the hardest hitting games

689
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: known to mankind. Right. I go back to the late

690
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: nineties into the two thousands, where I felt like every

691
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: time these two teams played, it was December and there

692
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: were violent hits and it was just a battle of attrition.

693
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: But I'm just sad that we're getting raven Steelers on

694
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: Sunday and this is this is We're getting a dome,

695
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: we got two six and six teams getting after it.

696
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: We're getting a diminished Lamar Jackson who says he's ready

697
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: for what could be a playoff game, and he's right,

698
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: we have a diminished Aaron Rodgers. That neither of these

699
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,959
Speaker 1: teams is very good, and it's just it's just sad.

700
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's a big game, right, you know, two

701
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: teams top of the AFC North at least for now,

702
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: and uh, you know you have star potential at the games.

703
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: But Lamar is not what he was and Aaron Rodgers

704
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: isn't what he was, and the teams aren't what they were.

705
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: It's just kind of sad.

706
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 3: Mike Harmon, Yeah, I mean, what do we got thirty

707
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 3: seven career meetings here?

708
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: Tomlin with the edge right?

709
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 3: Like twenty one sixteen I think was last count Baltimore

710
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 3: a five and a half point favorite. But yeah, Lamar

711
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: Jackson again, we joke about the wacky Doctors game operation.

712
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things glowing on Lamar ja.

713
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 3: He got stepped out in practice and had to miss

714
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 3: and every day it's is it his foot or his

715
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 3: ankle today? Which are we listing him with? How about

716
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 3: a shoulder? Let's just randomly out a shoulders. It's like,

717
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 3: how about in a bleak? I mean, I have no

718
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 3: idea Aaron Rodgers.

719
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: Playing with a broken bone.

720
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 3: We've talked a lot about that squad and his five

721
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: point eight intended air yards per pass attempt five point

722
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 3: eight yards and for Lamar Jackson's it's just been a

723
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 3: struggle a kid. They just paid Mark Andrews, congratulations him.

724
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,959
Speaker 3: I think he got more a bunch of that money

725
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: off the ability to do that spin move and sprint

726
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 3: to the end zone that he did a couple of

727
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 3: weeks ago on the when he was under center. But yeah,

728
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: it's just not the juice of those hard hitting games

729
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 3: for this long, long standing coaching rivalry.

730
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just sad. Mad mean, Look, I'm gonna default

731
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: to Baltimore because it's one thing. Look, Aaron Rodgers is

732
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: not the same in Pittsburgh's offense stinks. Lamar Jackson has

733
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: hurt any stinks. But I'll default to Baltimore simply because, look,

734
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: I love the under But coming off of last week, look,

735
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: John Harborough said, listen, what we did with Derek Henry

736
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: is never gonna happen again, right, And this definitively has

737
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: the hallmarks of a King Henry game. Tons of carries,

738
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns, you know, a seventeen thirteen kind

739
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: of win or a sixteen fourteen kind of win for

740
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens. It's gonna be ugly, it's not gonna be great.

741
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be fun, but it's a big game.

742
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: I'll take the Ravens in a close one.

743
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 6: Yeah.

744
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 3: I named him one of my top five running backs.

745
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: Spoiler alert for this week's I Watch a Flex podcast

746
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 3: pretty much going down that road like what.

747
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: Else you got?

748
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 3: What else you got? Just tuck the ball in his

749
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 3: gut and he's had a couple of big games back

750
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 3: to back weeks. Doesn't give you much out of the

751
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 3: passing game, of course, but certainly that comes into play.

752
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the Steelers because it becomes better, more

753
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: delicious theater in all of this. Two coaches that do

754
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 3: the Spider Man meme where every loss the fan base

755
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: gets a little bit louder.

756
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm getting fired. No, you're getting fired. No, I'm getting fired. No,

757
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: you're getting fired. You're getting fired.

758
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: You're gonna be in the CBS booth first No, yeah no, yeah,

759
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 3: by the way, we got to talk about that before

760
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 3: we're done.

761
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: Point counterpoint in terms of TV booths, Wells and Fox. Well,

762
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: that's right, quarterbacks are the same team.

763
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go. That'll be brilliant. But yeah, this game

764
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 3: smacks to the under. We're having a field goal contest

765
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 3: before it's done. I'm gonna take it that because you've

766
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 3: got to diminish Lamar Jackson that you do get the

767
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 3: TJ Watt play that seals the difference.

768
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: Another game, team's at the top of their division. It

769
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: is the AFC South Colts and the Jaguars. This is

770
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: the biggest Jack Jaguars game in a long time.

771
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: Teams getting after air.

772
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, I don't believe in the

773
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: Jaguars at all, but they win this game by ten. Wow,

774
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: look at you. No, it's not gonna be No. The

775
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: thing is, the Colts offense has not been the same

776
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones' injury, and they're really coming back down

777
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: to earth a little bit. They're going to try to

778
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: go Jonathan Taylor heavy all day. But oh, by the way,

779
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: guess who's the number one team in the NFL against

780
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: the rush. It's the Jaguars, still having a lot of

781
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: thousand yards on the ground total all season long. This

782
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: is going to be a very typical Trevor Lawrence is

783
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: men unexciting Jaguars win to be at the top of

784
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: the AFC South at least for now. But in this

785
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: game of the two division leaders, Yeah, things aren't trending

786
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: well for the Colts and it's a bad matchup right

787
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: now against the Jaguars. Jaguars defense controls the day and

788
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: they win one in a very unexciting fashion.

789
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: Jaguars giving up twenty one one per game. Colts slightly

790
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 3: better on the year. No, Sauce Gardner in that secondary.

791
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 3: They thought they were getting a little extra bump there

792
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: that doesn't exist. But I'm gonna take the Colts to

793
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: win this one. Enough in the passing game, Daniel Jones.

794
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 3: I don't know how much and how much mobility we got,

795
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 3: but I just in the battle of trust, I'm gonna

796
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 3: flip a coin. I'm gonna take him over Trevor Lawrence.

797
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: Wow, you feel really confident about that?

798
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 3: No, no, no, but flip Hey, Hey, Indianapolis is a

799
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 3: narrow two point favorite on the road, which shows you

800
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 3: how confident anybody is.

801
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: In this thing. How confident are you? Well, I'm flipping

802
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: a coin.

803
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 3: Taylor's the best player in it all? How about that?

804
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,600
