It is Thanksgiving week, 4 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: one of the most traveled weeks in America. If you 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: already hit the road, congrats. Hopefully I can give you 6 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: some content here that will make your travels a little 7 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: bit easier. If you're like me, working most of the week, 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: well that's life, so quick podcast update. We will have 9 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 2: podcast episodes tomorrow and Wednesday, but because nobody listens to 10 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 2: podcasts that actually hang out with their family, we won't 11 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: have anything Thursday or Friday, so obviously we will drop 12 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: plenty of picks on Wednesday for the weekend and listen. 13 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: It was another monster Saturday in college football. I don't 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: know how this can keep up, but by far the 15 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 2: best college football season I've ever had. Ten and four 16 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: on Saturday. I mean, folks, it's just I'm running hot 17 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: on college now. In the NFL it did not go 18 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 2: as well, mostly because I loaded up on Washington, Indie 19 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: and neither of those came through, and that got me 20 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 2: down bad. And that you know, both of those blew up. Wow, 21 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: Washington blew up a bunch of teasers, so it wasn't 22 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: a great Sunday. Did go three and two in the 23 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: contest thanks to the Raiders and Desmond Ridder taking a 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: sack on the one yard line instead of scoring. Holy cow, 25 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: Sean Payton tried to blow that. Anyways, it was a 26 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: fun Sunday in the NFL. Some massive chaos. We had 27 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: several overtime games. The Chiefs dearly blew it against the Panthers. 28 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: Chiefs got problems. I've been trying to tell you, guys, 29 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: you don't want to hear it because you love the 30 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: Chiefs and Mahomes and read and they got problems. We'll 31 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: get to it, but I do want to start with 32 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley kind of going off on Sunday Night football. 33 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: Did whatever he wanted. The seventy yard touchdown was just 34 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: a masterpiece, and it was. It was quite a performance 35 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: from Saquan as the Eagles role over the Rams, and 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: the Eagles look like they're on a crash course with 37 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game, with the 38 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: Niners going down and the Niners pretty much looking dead 39 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: in the water with the injuries. I don't see anyone 40 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: in the NFC who can hang with these two. These 41 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: are far and away the two best teams, Eagles and Lions. 42 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: And like, I mean, maybe you could argue, yes, the 43 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: the Vikings have done some tremendous stuff. They're nine and 44 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: two again, Sam Donald in a big spot. I gotta 45 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 2: see it, you know, I gotta see it in the playoffs, 46 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: and we don't know that we're gonna get that from Donald. 47 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: The Packers are starting to form a little bit. They 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: played like a C plus game and still beat the Niners. 49 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: But I don't know that I trust the Packers. The 50 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: Commanders are falling on a hard time. Three losses in 51 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: a row. The NFC South is a joke, and Arizona loses. 52 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: We had Seattle there, so it's like there's really two 53 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 2: good teams in the NFC, and Saquon Barkley is the 54 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 2: big story. Folks. I cannot stress this enough. But this 55 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: narrative that running backs don't matter, which is actually the 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 2: great name of a website that a lot of great stats. 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: I think this happened last summer or last offseason, and 58 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 2: it was basically the narrative everywhere, Oh you can't pay 59 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: running backs? 60 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: Wow? 61 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 2: Why would you do that? You can't running backs was 62 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: Remember the running backs got on like a conference call 63 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: and they were trying to form some kind of not 64 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: a union of running backs, but they were trying to 65 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 2: get together a strategy. I say, how can we save 66 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: the position? And it got so far that you were 67 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: seeing tight ends like Cole Kament who s goood tight ends? 68 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: You know, fine guys getting paid more than running backs. 69 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: And I think I said it at the time, either 70 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: here or on the herd, but we've just seen too 71 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: the market over correction. People are running backs were so 72 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: devalued that they were undervalued, if that makes any sense. 73 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: And if you look at the leaderboard for rushing leaders 74 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: in the NFL right now, wouldn't you know it, they're 75 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: all on new teams because their old team didn't want 76 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: to pay them. Derrick Henry Saque bark top of the 77 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: league in rushing, both on new teams Baltimore and Philly. 78 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs Raiders cut him loose. He's crushing it with 79 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. Had a monster game against the Niners. 80 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: Jamier Gibbs remember first round pickup black people scoffed. I 81 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: think I was one of them. He is delivered. He 82 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 2: Montgomery got hurt. Gibbs was phenomenal. You look at Joe Mixon, now, 83 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: he did not have a good game. He was terrible 84 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 2: against the Titans, who have a good run defense. But 85 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 2: Joe Mixon is a top ten running back numbers wise, 86 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: despite missing multiple games. Joe Mixon having a great season 87 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 2: in his new spot. The Bengals sure could use him. 88 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 2: Although Chase Brown's been good, you know, it'd be nice 89 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 2: to have Mixon back there as a thumper. And then 90 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: of course Aaron Jones, who as usuals dinged up a 91 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: little bit, but he still delivered big time for the Vikings. 92 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: Yesterday's fumble inside the five yard line aside. But you're 93 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 2: looking at five running backs who are top it looks 94 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 2: like the top fifteen in the league. You could toss 95 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: Tony Pollard in there. In Tennessee, he had a huge 96 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: game yesterday against the Texas. Running backs were so devalued 97 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 2: that they had value. And we'll get to the Giants 98 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 2: at a moment and their GM. But I just I 99 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: watched saquad and I'm like, this guy, he's gonna be 100 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 2: the offensive player of the year. I do believe, you know, 101 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: the MVP is still going to go to a quarterback. 102 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it, guys, I don't want 103 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: to hear this. You know, you got to give Saquon 104 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 2: or Derek Henry the MVP just because they lead the 105 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: league in rushing and their great story. That's just not 106 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: gonna happen. The reality is the quarterback is the most valuable, 107 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: most important position on the field. However, obviously, Derek Henry 108 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: can be a huge ad to the Ravens, and Saquon 109 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: Barkley has been a massive addition for the Eagles. And 110 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: I think we talked about in the offseason, can Saquon 111 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: have the type of impact that Christian McCaffrey had on 112 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 2: the Niners? And I think the answer undeniably is yes. 113 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: I mean, Saquon is on pace to have the most 114 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: rushing yards in his career like next week, and the 115 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: Giants were like, man, we're good. We don't want to 116 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: pay it. And now the Giant, oh yeah, we got 117 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: Devin Singletary, but this the young kid Tracy. It's like, uh, 118 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,679 Speaker 2: oh okay, all right, wonderful. Saquon Barkley's dominating in prime time, 119 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: making you guys look like fools, and right, now he's 120 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: the driving force with the Eagles. You have to respect 121 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: Barkley and then aj Browns kill him. But they don't 122 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: even have Davonta Smith and they put up They got 123 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 2: to thirty in like third quarter, like they are cooking 124 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 2: right now. This is a monster team. I don't know 125 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: how I would handicap Lions Eagles. I think the Lions 126 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: have the best offense in the league, but Philly's defense 127 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: is so much better than what the Lions have. I 128 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: will defend the Lions, so worry guys. They're defense of 129 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: the second half's been great. But let's be real, this 130 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: is a really good Eagles team. Nick Siriani pretty much 131 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: the only player that can get it get in the 132 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: way of ruining this really, really good run the Eagles have. 133 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: I do want to give a shout out to Brandon Graham, 134 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: who I had to look this up. He's thirty six 135 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: years old. I mean, what a performance from Brandon Graham 136 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 2: on Sunday night. Football. Dude was everywhere. I felt a 137 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 2: little bad for Matt Stafford, who just kept getting pummeled. 138 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: I mean it was it was just a rough night 139 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: for Stafford. They couldn't keep him protected. It was Graham 140 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: coming off the edge. Graham had a several tackles for loss. 141 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: I think he had a force fumble two ni Kobe Dean, 142 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: the linebacker from Georgia. I mean, it was a really 143 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: good performance from the Eagles, who are led by Saquon 144 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: bark meey now let me dovetail from Saquon's new team, 145 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: too us old and that's the New York Giants. So 146 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: if you remember last week, I kind of sort of 147 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: was looking at the Giants after DeVito was named the starter. 148 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: Then they had people like Dexter Lawrence come out and complain, 149 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: why are we not playing our best quarterback? What are 150 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: we doing right? And it's like, oh, that's not good, 151 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: and you started to wonder about quit in the locker room. 152 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: And then next thing you know, Daniel Jones makes that 153 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: speech in front of the whole in front of the media, 154 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: and it's like, oh boy, oh dear, this is not good. 155 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: And then he's asked to be released and they were like, sure, 156 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: we'll release you. And then it's just you feel bad 157 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: for guy. You know, you got this ESPN woman l 158 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: Duncan piling on job. Mean, like the body's not even 159 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: cold and just kicking him. It just felt it was 160 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: just a weird week for the Giants. And then Malik 161 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: Nighbors turns up on the injury report and you're like, hmm, 162 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 2: does he not want to play? And the Giants fall 163 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: behind till I got to get to get to my 164 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 2: notes on the game. Here. They fell behind, oh, thirty 165 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: to zero at halftime. Danny not Danny DeVito. Tommy DeVito 166 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: attempted five passes, three of five for thirty one yards. 167 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: That's at halftime. They were out gained two hundred and 168 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: ninety to forty five, first down seventeen to three. The 169 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: Buccaneers had more red zone trips four than the Giants 170 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: did first downs three. So they finally opened the third 171 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 2: quarter with a good run and they get down the field, 172 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: they get to the red zone, and then Brian Dable, 173 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: the genius play caller, says, Oh, we're gonna motion de 174 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 2: veto the quarterback out wide and we're gonna run a 175 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 2: wild cat with Tracy that'll surprise him. Fumbles and that's 176 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 2: the lights out. But this is where it gets interesting. 177 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: So after the game, meleak Neighbors get all gets dressed 178 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: and he meets the media. He's got his shades on. 179 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: I gotta say that the leather jacket was kind of fly. 180 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: I would definitely look to purchase that if I could 181 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: get the brand name. And it's not like, you know, 182 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: two thousand dollars or something, but Molik Neighbors essentially says, 183 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: first second quarter, I didn't get the ball. I can't 184 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 2: do nothing. What do you want me to do? I 185 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 2: start to get the ball when we're down thirty to zero, 186 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: what do you want me to do? And he's chewing 187 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 2: gum and he's angry, and they're like, well, ask him questions. 188 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: He goes, you got to talk to Brian Dabole, Dave 189 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: Dab's whatever he's calling him, and it's like, oh boy, 190 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: this is not good, not good at all. And then 191 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 2: you watch Saquon Sunday Night go off, and you just 192 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: flashbacks to Joe Shane the Giants GM while we don't 193 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 2: need him, Well, we got Devil's singletary. We're good, We're good. 194 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: And Giants fans of course then are like trying to 195 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: defend the team. Well, even with Saquon, we'd only have 196 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: one more win. Bro that it's not about that, it's 197 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: about the process of building a roster. The process of 198 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: paying Daniel Jones and not wanting to pay Saku one Barkley, 199 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is not gonna be gone and probably gonna 200 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 2: be a backup somewhere. Who the hell knows. He might 201 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: appear in a playoff game this year as a backup 202 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: is if the starter gets hurt and then it's like, 203 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, you got Saquon and Danny Dimes in 204 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: the postseason and the Giants here are looking at a 205 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: top five pick. It's just it's bad. Neighbors went on 206 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: to call the team soft af man. That's not good. 207 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 2: He said he's tired of losing. So we know he's 208 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: a wide receiver one because he is sounding off. Imagine 209 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 2: that you get smoked at home Bucks, Easy, easy blowout. 210 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield's making fun of Davito, he said, he's given 211 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 2: him a shout out. I thought he was making fun 212 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: of him with the money sign or whatever. The celebration 213 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: de Vito did was. I'm not a Dvito guy, so 214 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: I don't really pay attention to his stuff, but it 215 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 2: just it kind of felt like, oh my gosh, a 216 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 2: rookie is stepping up and creating a stir folks. I 217 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: don't know that Daboll and Joe Shane are gonna survive this. 218 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 2: Let's see what happens on Thanksgiving, another high profile game. 219 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: You got de veto against Cooper Rush. And it's like, 220 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: if the Giants get smacked around again, and you could 221 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: tell this team has quit if you see them, if 222 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: they lose to the hapless Cowboys, say you twenty eight 223 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: to seven or twenty eight ten. I just I don't 224 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: know how you can bring the GM and the coach back. 225 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 2: You might as well start anew so you're gonna be 226 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: getting a new quarterback here in the top five. It 227 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: just it doesn't make sense why those two would come 228 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 2: back so overall, Like, listen, I know the Jets had 229 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: a rough you know, seventy two hours if you will, 230 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna talk about him. They didn't play. 231 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: Who cares. I don't want Aaron Rodgers back, so I'm 232 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: fine with him not wanting to be back. Whatever. They're relevant. 233 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 2: The Giants are are a big story today because of 234 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: the Saquon Barklay thing. And I'm just telling you my 235 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 2: read right now is I don't think Dabel and Shane 236 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: are going to be back. And if they're if there 237 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: are more blowouts here, it may happen sooner than you think, 238 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 2: because this it looks like a football team that has quit. 239 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: And as a blue blood in the NFL, the blue 240 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: bloods are like the Steelers, Giants, you know, teams that 241 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: have been around forever. That's a bad look and I 242 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 2: don't think My guess is the Mayra family will not 243 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: stand for that. Let me go to the Kansas City Chiefs, 244 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 2: just because I want to reiterate why I do think 245 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: they are struggling. So a couple of weeks ago, they 246 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: lost their number two cornerback, the kid Watson. He had 247 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 2: to go on IR. I think he's done for the season. 248 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but he's on IR. And since then, 249 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs past defense has just been terrible. 250 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: They are getting lit up and they just let Bryce 251 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: Young have the greatest game of his career and it 252 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: was like what Jalen Watson is the corner they had 253 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: who was playing great. He got hurt in Week seven 254 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: and since then all they've done is, you know, every 255 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: team they've faced is kind of sort of moving the 256 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 2: football on them with ease. And this is the scary part. 257 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: We're not talking about good quarterbacks. We're talking about Gardner 258 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: Minshew keeping the Raiders mildly competitive and moving the ball 259 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: down the field. We're talking about Baker Mayfield. Remember that 260 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 2: on Monday night, slicing and dicing key late drive. You know, 261 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 2: Spagnolo was blitzing. It didn't matter because nobody can defend 262 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: mc McDuffie's struggling. Then there was the Broncos game. McDuffie 263 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 2: gets roasted by Courtland Sutton. Then the Buffalo game, Buffalo 264 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 2: scores thirty points, moves the ball at will, and now 265 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: Carolina hear piling up yards. I saw stat that this 266 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: was the first time all season that the Chiefs gave 267 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 2: up three hundred and twenty five or more yards. Panthers 268 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 2: had three hundred and thirty four yards of offense. We're talking 269 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: about the Panthers. And if you're like, oh, well, you know, 270 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 2: it's a lot of drives, folks. They got to the 271 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: red zone six times, six trips to the red zone 272 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: on Spagnolo's defense. And if you watch again, go watch 273 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: the highlights. McDuffie struggled a couple penalties. And it's not 274 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: just the defense. The offensive line for the Chiefs permitted 275 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: five sacks, tied for the most of Mahome's career. The 276 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: left tackle issue remains a problem. I know it's Carolina 277 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: and they want and who cares. It's survive in advance. 278 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: I get that, and you know what I'll give. I'm 279 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: not gonna give all of them, but I already bet 280 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: the Chiefs this week agains the Raiders. I bet them. 281 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: I'm on them. Yeah, thirteen and a half, not kidding. 282 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: I took the Chiefs. Nobody else is gonna want them. 283 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 2: I want them here. It's a revenge spot. And they 284 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: lost to the Raiders last Christmas. I know they played 285 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: them recently, but Gardner Minshew also broke his collar bone. 286 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: I shouldn't be laughing. I'm not laughing at that, but 287 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: it just it's sad Minshew's out. So it's gonna be 288 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: like the Desmond Ritter Show. I mean, this one's probably 289 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: gonna get ugly. You know. I know the Raiders like, 290 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: we're a little feisty on Sunday, and I'll give them that. 291 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: It's fine. You don't like to see them teams totally 292 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 2: roll over. They were frisky again the Broncos in the 293 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: divisional matchup, but this seems to me like a spot. 294 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: I think Pacheco's probably going to return, and I think 295 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: the Chiefs put it on the Raiders. Who again, Desmond 296 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: Rror is an unplayable quarterback if you missed the Raiders game. 297 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: So they had a couple of cornerbacks out, they had 298 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 2: their top two running backs out there leading rusher. Are 299 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: you ready for this? His name is Sincere McCormick. Never 300 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 2: heard of him in my life. He is a second 301 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: year running back out of Utsa, Okay a Mere Abdullah 302 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: was their leading carrier. McCormick led them in rushes. Basically, 303 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 2: it's the Jacobi Meyers Show. And then Trey Tucker Bowers 304 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: was kind of sort of shut down, and I think 305 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 2: the it's gonna need a big Bowers game. I mean, 306 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: the Raiders were competent. They had a good fake punt 307 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: that was pretty extraordinary. I love the design and the execution. 308 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: It worked magically. But I don't know. I just I 309 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 2: look at this Raiders team and I don't see them 310 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: want to go to Kansas City here in what I 311 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: think is going to be a tough spot. Wait, let 312 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: me double just double check that the game is in 313 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: Kansas City. But that was one of the first games 314 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 2: I bet. Yeah, it's in Kansas City. And I should 315 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 2: preface this by saying this week is there's something called 316 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 2: it polar vortex headed to several games, and it sounds 317 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: like that Green Bay game is going to be heavily impacted. 318 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 2: And it feels like this is a week where we're 319 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 2: gonna see a lot of weather impacting games as we 320 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: head into Thanksgiving. Just file that away. I know she's 321 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: thirteen and a half. That's probably too big for a 322 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: lot of too rich for your blood and mahomes historically. 323 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: I mean, they just didn't cover a double digit spread. 324 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: That's fine. I'm just I think they're gonna be okay here. 325 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: And if you watch Desmuder play football, you know that 326 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: he's not an NFL quarterback. 327 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 328 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: the nation.

As they say, Washington coming off extra rest, 334 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 2: Dallas on a short week, Dallas inactive list was huge. 335 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 2: A lot of guys just did not play, and you're like, 336 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, Washington's got this locked up. Washington blocks 337 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 2: a field goal, they block a punt, they get a 338 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 2: fumble recovery, and yet in the first half they're sputtering 339 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: and they can't do anything. They couldn't get into the 340 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 2: red zone. And I start that's when you know, when 341 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: when they're playing well but cannot score it all, you're like, shit, 342 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: it's not my day. It's it's not gonna happen for me. 343 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: And I just it was one of those you just 344 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 2: knew at halftime that you were totally screwed. And they 345 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: tried really, really hard, and I'm talking they tried hard. 346 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 2: Washington fought till the end. We'll talk about the fourth 347 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,239 Speaker 2: quarter in a second, but you just look at this 348 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury history in the second half of seasons. And 349 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: remember we talked about it a few weeks ago, like, 350 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 2: let's man, Cliff Kingsbury. The second half of the season, 351 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 2: either defenses catch up or he runs out of good 352 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 2: place because they could do nothing offensively, and it just 353 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 2: snowballed until the fourth quarter. And I got to give 354 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: a shout out to McCarthy before we get to the 355 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 2: fourth quarter. McCarthy for the third week in a row, 356 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 2: despite not having Dak Prescott depleted guys everywhere. They fought 357 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 2: hard in the first half. They're fighting hard for McCarthy. 358 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 2: They were in the game against Philly, then they folded. 359 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: They were in the game against Houston, and then they 360 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 2: folded in the second half. Just because the talent's not there, 361 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 2: they fall apart. They didn't fall apart this week. This 362 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 2: game was thirteen to nine Dallas with six minutes left, 363 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: thirteen to nine. In the final six minutes, there were 364 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 2: thirty one points scored. Thirty one thirty one points? Are 365 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 2: you kidding me? And it was just absolutely chaotic. I've 366 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 2: never seen two kickoff returns for a touchdown in a quarter, 367 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 2: much less a six minutes. There was the Terry McLaurin 368 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 2: eighty six yard touchdown, which was just fluky stuff. And 369 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: you watch it and I mean, I'm praying for any 370 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: hope Washington could have because I had them in teaser, 371 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: so I needed to win. And McLaurin goes the distance 372 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 2: eighty six yards. That touchdown was unbelievable. It's like, you know, 373 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: Dallas just drop back in coverage. Just keep everything in 374 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: front of you, and Dallas could not do that. McLaurin 375 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 2: just zigzags and you're like, oh my gosh, do they 376 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: go for two to win it? 377 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: Nah? 378 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 2: Nah, they don't need to do that. He just kick 379 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 2: the extra point to Winter and they got the momentum. 380 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 2: And then bad snap and Seebert misses the extra point. 381 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: That was gut wrenching, just brutal. And then of course 382 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: they tried the onside kick and then Dallas runs it back. 383 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 2: But again, let's strip out if you will. Again, it 384 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: happened with twenty five seconds left. Let's remove the seventy 385 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 2: six sorry, eighty six yard touchdown to Terry McLaurin. Okay, 386 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 2: let's take that out. Jayden Daniels had one hundred and 387 00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: ninety yards passing, okay, with thirty seconds left in the game, 388 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 2: in a game they trailed most of the game. Now, 389 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 2: he did lose Eckler to a concussion. That was a 390 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: lethal hit. I mean, I feel bad, so bad for Eckler. 391 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 2: He's probably gonna be out a few weeks because this 392 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: is not his first concussion. He's had multiple. Robinson got hurt. 393 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 2: It was an ankle and he tried to power through it, 394 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 2: but it didn't go well. So then you say, okay, 395 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 2: well they couldn't pass, they couldn't run. Jaden Daniels seven 396 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 2: carries seventy four yards. Okay. So you've got your quarterback 397 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 2: with the rib injury running for his life for most 398 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: of your offense, and for whatever reason, the pass game 399 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: was not there against the Dallas secondary that can't guard anybody, 400 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: and you start adding stuff up. You're like, what's going 401 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: on with Washington? Is there a world where they missed 402 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 2: the playoffs? The answers probably know, but there's so much 403 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: parody now the Rams getting smoke does not help the 404 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 2: Rams cause. But I do wonder if Tampa and Atlanta 405 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: can both of them sneak in if Washington continues to 406 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 2: create it. Washington next up has Tennessee, and that is 407 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 2: not a good matchup for Washington, especially if they have 408 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: no running backs against the Tennessee run defense that is 409 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 2: pretty formidable, at least when healthy. Joe Mixon had fourteen 410 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 2: carries for twenty two yards. So you're telling me Washington 411 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: can't run, okay, and now you've just got Jade Daniels's 412 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 2: kind of sort of a sitting Duck. I'm starting to 413 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 2: get worried a little bit for Washington and Kingsbury. Dan 414 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 2: Quinn is slowly but surely losing the Coach of the 415 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: Year award, which it felt like he was the clubhouse leader. 416 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: It ain't gonna be, Sirianni. We know that it's going 417 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 2: to Dan Campbell, probably possibly McDermott. But NFC, the whole 418 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: playoff picture is just getting wild and I can't even 419 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 2: I don't. If I ask you who's the third best 420 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 2: team in the NFC, it is it Seattle? I don't know, 421 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: is it? Because based on tiebreakers, currently these are your 422 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: playoff seeds in the NFC. Detroit is won, Eagles are two, 423 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: Seattle is three, Atlanta is four, Minnesota, which is nine 424 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: and two is five. Green Bay at eight and three 425 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 2: is six. Washington clinging to seven, but right behind them, 426 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: just one game back is Arizona, and then after that 427 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: is the Rams and Niners, who are going nowhere fast. 428 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 2: And I would just say keep an eye on Tampa. 429 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: But Washington, they I'm pretty sure they played Arizona. Let 430 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 2: me just quickly check. It's because yeah, Washington smashed Arizona, 431 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,959 Speaker 2: so they have the tiebreaker. So they're still in good shape. 432 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 2: The big problem is if Washington gets to seven, they 433 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: got to go to Philadelphia and that's just not a 434 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 2: good matchup for them at all. I'm hopeful that maybe 435 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 2: Daniels can get out of the seven, but then we 436 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: get Packers Eagles, Packers v in the seven. Now, Packers 437 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: are a dangerous team. But NFC just suddenly just does 438 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 2: not look good at all. And there I guess we'll 439 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 2: wrap up with the Niners here before we get to 440 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 2: best bets for Monday Night Football. I don't know, guys, 441 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 2: Oh well, I do want to do college football after 442 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: this real quick. But this Niners thing is kind of 443 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: sad at this point. You know, it sucks. They're a 444 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: great team, they just don't have anybody healthy. I mean, 445 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 2: once Brock Purty went out, then it was the domino effect. 446 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: Trent Williams will not play, Ward will not play, and 447 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 2: he started looking like, oh, they got four key guys 448 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: turning up on the inactives. And then as soon as 449 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: the broadcast starts, only two defensive starters from last year's 450 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: playoff game against the Packers or with the Niners, only 451 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 2: two and what was the result? They missed fifteen tackles 452 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 2: in the first half San Francisco highest in the NFL 453 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 2: this season. According to the Fox broadcast, fifteen miss tackles. 454 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 2: Packers led seventeen nothing and it would have been over 455 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 2: at the end of the first half if Christian Watson 456 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: doesn't totally stonehands a wide open touchdown. I'd like to 457 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 2: thank him for because I was facing Watson in fantasy 458 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: and I got a narrow victory, So thank you for 459 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: that drop. But the Niners kind of sort of got 460 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 2: back in the game, and then of course, you know, 461 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 2: they three turnovers that led to short field touchdowns, and 462 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 2: it was like, ah, well, maybe they're not that impressive 463 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: the Packers. That is that you look at the box score, 464 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 2: it was kind of sort of even, but in reality, 465 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, they Packers did not look great. The 466 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: Niners usually aren't. Aren't one of these teams that quits. 467 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are bagging on Deebo 468 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: Samuel and I saw what's his face? Andrew Brant, who 469 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: comes on the podcast occasionally, he had an interesting tweet 470 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: that the Green Bay Packers are currently paying their receivers. 471 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 2: Let me get the exact number here. The Green Bay 472 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: Packers are paying the receivers eight million dollars. Deebo Samuel 473 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 2: is making twenty two million dollars, so seven Packers receivers 474 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: eight million dollars debo twenty two mili. I mean, it's 475 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 2: gonna be very difficult for the Niners. Are gonna have 476 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 2: some tough decisions. We're gonna have a full offseason to 477 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: deal with it. They've got to make some tough decisions. 478 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel, I will say, is going to be one 479 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 2: of the most attractive dudes on the free agent market. 480 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 2: He's going to be highly motivated. And if he goes 481 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 2: to a coach who knows how the hell to use him, 482 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, look the hell out. I mean, that's 483 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 2: gonna be scary. I don't see him back with the 484 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,959 Speaker 2: Niners next year. You know I will be back. They 485 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 2: got Pearsol, they got Jinnings. It's not looking good for 486 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 2: the Niner. I think they're done. They got the Buffalo 487 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 2: Bills who can deliver the kill shot, probably this week 488 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 2: and just put them out of their misery. It stinks. Listen, man, 489 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: you go to the Super Bowl, you lose, and then 490 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: the injuries mount and Christian mccafrey miss half the season 491 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: just stinks. I'm trying to see if there's anything else 492 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 2: that jumped out at me. Miami's kind of sort of 493 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 2: coming on strong, but I don't think anybody takes them seriously. 494 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 2: I did bet against them this week. They're the polar vortex. 495 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: Temperatures in Green Bay on Thanksgiving for Packers Dolphins or 496 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 2: expected to be around zero degrees, and we know two 497 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: is winless in games under forty degrees. It's not gonna 498 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 2: be as cold as the Chiefs game last year where 499 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: idiots who didn't wear gloves and shirts had to get 500 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 2: the stuff amputated. That's real. You can look it up. 501 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 2: It's not gonna be that cold, but it certainly is 502 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: gonna be cold, which to it does not thrive in. 503 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 2: And I expect the Packers to win that game. I 504 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 2: guess the only other one that kind of jumped out 505 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams I thought was pretty good, not amazing, but 506 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 2: he was strong in the fourth quarter. They didn't give up, 507 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 2: and they fought the good fight. I just want to 508 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: remind people last one before we get the best bet 509 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 2: for Monday Night football. The last time the Bears lost 510 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: a heartbreaker, the Hail Mary, they went into a tailspin. 511 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 2: They just lost another heartbreaker, down by two touchdowns on 512 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 2: the fourth down by eleven with two minutes left, storm 513 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 2: back to force overtime, win the coin toss, and end 514 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 2: up losing the game. Donald on the final drive goes 515 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: like six for six for ninety yards. Donald had a 516 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 2: great game, by the way, great game, and you're just like, 517 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: oh man, that's a gutting victory. Bears have now lost. 518 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: Let me see, I think that's five in a row. 519 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 2: And they just happen to play Detroit on Thanksgiving. So 520 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: if if you're scoring at home, I got Detroit minus 521 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 2: ten on Thanksgiving, Yes, double digits, don't care. I bet 522 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 2: the Packers minus three on Thanksgiving and I got Chiefs 523 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: minus thirteen and a half. It's not the best number. Yeah. 524 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 2: So that's where we are following Week twelve. And now 525 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 2: let's get to Monday night football. 526 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 527 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: the nation.

The only thing better than sitting on your 530 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: couch watching the game is making money while you do it. 531 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: Here's your best bet. 532 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the best bet here on 533 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 2: straight fire. It was an awesome weekend in college football, 534 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: as I said at the outset, less so in the 535 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 2: NFL because of the darn Colts and Commanders. But nevertheless 536 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: we trudge on and I irrationally like the Chargers tonight. 537 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 2: Here's the problem. It's down to two and a half. 538 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 2: If you want three, you're gonna pay a little premium. 539 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 2: It's gonna be juiced. And I made a case on 540 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 2: the Herd on Friday that when you look at this 541 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 2: Chargers team and how they were built in the offseason. JK. 542 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 2: Dobbins comes in from Baltimore. Gus the bus comes in 543 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 2: from Baltimore. Greg Roman comes in from Baltimore. You've basically 544 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 2: got three key cogs in that offense coming over from 545 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 2: the Ravens. Who you face tonight. If you don't think 546 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 2: Greg Roman has spent the last week and maybe a 547 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: few hours here and there every week prior dedicated to 548 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: cooking up something for this game, for this revenge spot, 549 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: you're out of your mind. Okay. I don't know if 550 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: anybody can run on. The Ravens are one of the 551 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 2: best run stopping units in the league. I think Harball 552 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 2: is gonna stick to his guns and try to run 553 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 2: the hell out of the Ball. Now, obviously play action 554 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: works too, because the back end of the Ravens defense 555 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 2: is not good. It does sound like Kyle Hamilton will 556 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 2: have no injury designation and he's fine. Rokwan Smith is 557 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 2: the guy to watch. If he's not there, that's a 558 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: big cog in the middle of the defense for run 559 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: stopping that. Hopefully the Chargers can take advantage of also Ravens. 560 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 2: We'll see how they do defending Will Disley in the 561 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 2: Chargers fleet of linebackers. I just, for some reason, I'm 562 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 2: of the belief, yes, Lamar Jackson is awesome, but this 563 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 2: Ravens defense is just it's I just think it's unwatchable, 564 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 2: Like they cannot get stops at all. They've been shredded 565 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 2: the last few weeks, and frankly, Lamar has been kind 566 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: of bottled up. I expect Mac and Bosa coming off 567 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 2: the edge to hopefully contain him, and then it's like, 568 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: all right, can we stop Derrick Henry. Yeah, I think 569 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 2: the probably do an okay job stopping Derrick Henry. But 570 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 2: but this is a Ravens offense that you know, primetime. 571 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 2: I have a few in the Horbowl Baltimore shows up. 572 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 2: I'm guessing on points. I'm on the over here, and 573 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: let me see what the what the number I got 574 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: was for the over because I got it early in 575 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: the week, and I'm on over forty eight and a half. 576 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 2: I'm seeing something like a thirty twenty seven type victory 577 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 2: for the Chargers. Chargers tend to play a lot of 578 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 2: close games, as everybody knows. I don't want to say 579 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 2: the Chargers have a quarterback edge here as you guys, 580 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: I know everybody loves Lamar Jackson. You can't say stuff 581 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: about him that isn't super positive. I just think Herbert's 582 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 2: playing out of his mind right now. And I trust, 583 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: I actually trust the Chargers back end more than I 584 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 2: do the Ravens, even though they're starting two rookies at cornerbacks, 585 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 2: like who's gonna kill you, Zay Flowers? As long as 586 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: they you don't get beat over the top by Zave Flowers. 587 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: You know, you keep everything in front of you. Then hey, hey, Derrek, 588 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 2: Henry and h and Lamar bring it, you know, come 589 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: for us. So I'll go thirty twenty seven Chargers and 590 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 2: an exciting one now I am obviously holding off Justin 591 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 2: Herbert in a fantasy situation. I'm in the clubhouse up 592 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 2: by I don't know thirty something, but he's got Herbert, 593 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 2: Cameron Dicker the kicker, and the Chargers defense. Somehow, I'm 594 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 2: seventy five percent chance to win the game. I don't 595 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 2: understand that, but whatever, fantasy football. Who cares? So we 596 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 2: had We had a great, great slate of games on Sunday, 597 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 2: a lot of action. Hopefully that continues and we're back tomorrow. 598 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: Talk to you then,
