Speaker 1: NFL Game Debut is a production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with I Heart Radio. Happy T Day Week everyone,
Speaker 1: This is NFL Game Previews. I'm game preview Guy. We
Speaker 1: are breaking down every week twelve matchup for you, along
Speaker 1: with a recap of how our ten person panel voted
Speaker 1: on each. Let's start in the a f C the
Speaker 1: Jungle taking on tighten up huge late season a f
Speaker 1: C matchup in Tennessee this week. The Titans, winners of
Speaker 1: seven of their last eight, welcoming a familiar phoe to
Speaker 1: town in the Cincinnati Bengals. This one has upper management
Speaker 1: written all over a conference championship preview potential to Titans
Speaker 1: defense locking up with Cincinnati's aerial attack. Bengals defense focused
Speaker 1: on the King, but Derrick Henry hasn't been the one
Speaker 1: making the Titans oh looks so much better their last
Speaker 1: two games. It's been the play of Ryan Tannehill. If
Speaker 1: he keeps their pass game as productive as it has
Speaker 1: been recently, Bengals are going to have their hands full
Speaker 1: left till deep that build, and it's going to be
Speaker 1: home and at the thirty nine yard lot. Tennessee had
Speaker 1: gone five straight games with under a hundred and forty
Speaker 1: yards passing prior to Tannehill's return. He then puts up
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty five and week ten then blows
Speaker 1: up for three hundred and thirty three last week two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Rating over is the pocket fires spot staff to Hilliard,
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's corners are going to get legit tested by Tennessee's
Speaker 1: wide outs. It's been a while since anyone is worried
Speaker 1: about them. Last week, Traylon Burke's finally had his breakout
Speaker 1: performance seven catches over a hundred ten yards this time.
Speaker 1: Of all people, you're gonna go after Chaire Alexander who
Speaker 1: is probably sleeping all good play. And Robert Woods showed
Speaker 1: his pass catching game six catches almost seventy yards back
Speaker 1: on first down. Open his Woods and Woods for a
Speaker 1: big game if it's a wide receiver centric attack again
Speaker 1: this week Cincinnati is in post a Woozier world. So
Speaker 1: just recap a last week versus Pittsburgh's group. They gave
Speaker 1: up a hundred and forty three yards to whiteouts and
Speaker 1: a touchdown a rating of one twelve point two. This
Speaker 1: has taken advantage of three name coverage. Keating Tannehill up
Speaker 1: has always been fairly easy to do. Tighten Up knows
Speaker 1: that most games their quarterbacks have David Bowie slash Queen
Speaker 1: in their earbuds. Pressure rate allowed for the year thirty
Speaker 1: seven percent action look at it, he goes. But the
Speaker 1: last two games the pressure rate allowed dropped under thirty
Speaker 1: Not elite, but an improvement that a hill growing open
Speaker 1: and trying to make the Graham and Dussie along the sideline.
Speaker 1: The officials look at each other. Yet titans O line
Speaker 1: will spend much of their energy trying to keep Cincinnati's
Speaker 1: defensive ends Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard from bothering Tannehill.
Speaker 1: Bengals may not have a great sack total, but that
Speaker 1: duo has generated plenty of pressure. Hendrickson also grabbed two
Speaker 1: bags in week eleven, so Tennessee's line isn't facing Jackie Tree.
Speaker 1: Horns goons good pressure Hendrickson, but watch Hubbard. He comes
Speaker 1: out and then he's just going to be unblocked. Bengals
Speaker 1: still have to devote plenty of bodies to stopping Henry
Speaker 1: Weird right, Henry's efficiency had dropped the last two games
Speaker 1: that Tannehill's numbers have jumped. You ever hit soda popinski
Speaker 1: or bald bowl in the stomach, body blow, body blow,
Speaker 1: bouncing trying to get free nice run after initial contact.
Speaker 1: Henry doesn't always have to break a big one to
Speaker 1: impact the game. He can be popping the Bengals all
Speaker 1: our little Mac over and over so Tannehill can throw
Speaker 1: the knockout punch. You aren't always winning just because you're
Speaker 1: holding the king under four yards per carry. Keeps fighting.
Speaker 1: It gets that first. As we said before of his
Speaker 1: jord Bengals versus running backs in holding them to a
Speaker 1: nice four point one yard per carry average, but versus
Speaker 1: Nagy Harris last week gave up ninety yards four and
Speaker 1: a half a carry and two t d s now
Speaker 1: to the other side of the table. Joe Burrow, coming
Speaker 1: in feeling shysty I guess three hundred and fifty five
Speaker 1: yards last week over nine an attempt, four touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: raiding over a hundred side. He did throw a couple
Speaker 1: of picks, but the Bengals key quartet wasn't complete for
Speaker 1: last week's win. A Blue Meanie had turned their passing
Speaker 1: attack into more of a trio. Jamaar Chase may be
Speaker 1: ready to return this week, though, which makes it that
Speaker 1: much harder on Tennessee's secondary. Titans past defense held Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers in the shop last week two hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: seven yards under six in attempt. Here's buying time. Rogers
Speaker 1: get that fill and that's incomplete in the back of
Speaker 1: the end. Their secondaries play overall in the average range.
Speaker 1: They can't be average against Cincinnati and expect to win.
Speaker 1: Though Chase is enough trouble, but then Tennessee s t
Speaker 1: Higgins to deal with. He just slapped down nine catches
Speaker 1: in a hundred and forty eight yards. Has caught Tyler
Speaker 1: boyd looms as well. He's been good for fifty five
Speaker 1: plus yards her game this season down the side. Catch
Speaker 1: Tyler Boy and let's not forget what Burrow got from
Speaker 1: his running backs last week, seven catches ninety four yards
Speaker 1: as were the middle nice grape by mixing, mixing up
Speaker 1: to the thirty yard line. So you turn to the
Speaker 1: Tennessee pass rush to try and slow their flow. It
Speaker 1: should get home versus Burrow Joe facing three different guys
Speaker 1: with five plus bags on the year looking and Burrow,
Speaker 1: of course is used to being dropped. Thirty four sacks
Speaker 1: taken for the season runs so it's more about pressure
Speaker 1: forcing him into bad decisions than it is about the
Speaker 1: actual sack. Pauleen Wolf m j D NFL dot com
Speaker 1: writer Kevin Patra taking the Bengals the other seven on
Speaker 1: the panel. Going Tennessee, the Green Bay Packers are on
Speaker 1: the road for Sunday Night football in Philadelphia, facing an
Speaker 1: Eagle squad back to fly Eagles flying Hurts run texted
Speaker 1: and he touched down. Nothing in front of it except
Speaker 1: the end zone. Jalen Hurts may have won the game
Speaker 1: on that run, but it's Philadelphia's defense that held things
Speaker 1: down long enough for him to do that, and it's
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's defense that should lead the way. In this preview,
Speaker 1: Ryan gets rid of it in a hurry and that
Speaker 1: ball is broke it up. Aaron Rodgers and Company lined
Speaker 1: up against the Philadelphia d holding teams under twenty points
Speaker 1: a game. The driving force behind that plenty of takeaways
Speaker 1: first in the league, a swarm around it, bodies flying
Speaker 1: towards the football, and the Eagles client They've got Eagles
Speaker 1: defense facing a lackluster Green Bay offense. They were held
Speaker 1: under twenty points again last week. That's three times that's
Speaker 1: happened in the last four games, Rodgers dancing at the
Speaker 1: goal line back to the end zone has to get
Speaker 1: out of there. The cheese Heads only have four wins.
Speaker 1: What sticks out about that quartet of games hundred plus
Speaker 1: rushing yards in three of the four touchdown Herron Jones,
Speaker 1: and all of their losses save one, they ran for
Speaker 1: less than hundred and fifteen yards total, including last week.
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones a fat five point four yards per carry
Speaker 1: for the year, just three point three last week. A
Speaker 1: ground Jones outside. But the Titans are right there and
Speaker 1: gang tangle. The Eagles just loaded up to be able
Speaker 1: to play the run better. Guess it worked. They faced
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. He did score on them, but they held
Speaker 1: him to three point eight yards a carry on his
Speaker 1: twenty two tries. Taylor chall not break away. It's a
Speaker 1: loss on the play. If Jones can't lead the way
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia, then Aaron Rodgers in the pack passing offense
Speaker 1: have to do some damage against one of the best
Speaker 1: secondaries in the game. James Bradberry, Avonte Maddox, Darius Slay,
Speaker 1: Chauncey Gardner, Johnson starting Eagles dbs none with the rating
Speaker 1: allowed over eight. Ryan loads it up catch Paris Campbell
Speaker 1: and it's broken up. Philadelphia held Matt Ryan to a
Speaker 1: sub ninety rating last week, under seven yards per attempt.
Speaker 1: Now they take on Rogers and company. They're passing attack
Speaker 1: has that metal and feel to it last week symbolic
Speaker 1: of their couple t d s mid nineties rating. No
Speaker 1: ion t S and Rogers were thrown it back at
Speaker 1: age clock there by watching for the touchdown with just
Speaker 1: five point eight yards per attempt, only two passes that
Speaker 1: went for twenty plus yards. The explosiveness they exhibited in
Speaker 1: their big win over Dallas was no more. They need
Speaker 1: to find it to be effective against Philadelphia. Short pass again,
Speaker 1: and that's clock here by Allen Lazard, who does Philly
Speaker 1: stick on Christian Watson two more touchdowns last week five
Speaker 1: now in his last two games. It throws touchdown Watson,
Speaker 1: who wasn't the most targeted pass catcher versus Tennessee though
Speaker 1: Alan Lazard was, but Rogers only connected with him five
Speaker 1: times on eleven tries. That's rough everything, just the way
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers would like balls, just a little high. Then
Speaker 1: there's Randall Cobb, who came back from injury and put
Speaker 1: up seventy three yards caught all six of his targets.
Speaker 1: Those wrangle Eagles offense. Now, they did enough to beat
Speaker 1: the Colts, but seventeen points in week eleven only twenty
Speaker 1: one in Week ten not great for a team that's
Speaker 1: top five on the year. The Culprit turnovers four in
Speaker 1: that loss to Washington, two more last week in their wins.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is still a run dominant team. Thirty three carries
Speaker 1: last week versus twenty five passes. Jalen Hurts led the
Speaker 1: way sixteen attempts, eighty six yards, five point four a carry,
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, but that's the first time he had
Speaker 1: more than thirty rushing yards in a game in five games.
Speaker 1: This is a quarterback keeper four Hurts who's dangerous with
Speaker 1: his legs. Miles Sanders comes in a little cold, having
Speaker 1: been held to three point six a run versus Indianapolis.
Speaker 1: Packers haven't played the run great this season, but they
Speaker 1: do come in off their best showing held Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: to three point one yards per carry and didn't allow
Speaker 1: him a single ten plus yard run. Give it to
Speaker 1: Henry and they're gonna sack on kurtz Is taking on
Speaker 1: a shook up green Bay secondary. Their last showing, they
Speaker 1: gave up three hundred and thirty three yards to Ryan
Speaker 1: Tannehill a one seven point three rating. He's not usually
Speaker 1: known for those kind of yards. Look at the eyes,
Speaker 1: move that safety, come back, put the ball out in front,
Speaker 1: take care of the ball protected. Eagles passing attack is
Speaker 1: a wide receiver show. Davante Smith finally had a good
Speaker 1: yardage game in the eleven got to seventy eight at
Speaker 1: least balls out of his hands full and now look
Speaker 1: Davante Smith just starting to make his turn back A J.
Speaker 1: Brown Drew Stefan Gilmore five catches sixty yards. Not bad
Speaker 1: with that kind of dude on him for most of
Speaker 1: those snaps. Play action Kertch has the time at he
Speaker 1: delivers everyone on the ten person panel went Green, the
Speaker 1: one with wings, not cheese. The Chicago Bears take their
Speaker 1: run show on the road, ready to unleash at Russia.
Speaker 1: Attack on one of the best defenses in the game.
Speaker 1: Gang Green is back. Michael Clemmons comes up with his
Speaker 1: second sack of the season. You're welcome, Jets fans. This
Speaker 1: is a preview. Previews only use the past to try
Speaker 1: and explain possibilities in the future. So random horrible, flukey
Speaker 1: game ending plays that will never happen again. Don't matter.
Speaker 1: Right now, you're safe. The Jets formula still starts with
Speaker 1: their defense right and their last six games, only one
Speaker 1: team managed more than seventeen points against them, intercepting Sauce
Speaker 1: Gardner's cut it. Match that up with a Bears offense
Speaker 1: that has put up twenty four points or better five
Speaker 1: straight games. Turn on the speed fields on the angle,
Speaker 1: try it out, race Okuda for the top stown so
Speaker 1: which sides strength prevails. Jets have to keep justin fields
Speaker 1: from going road runner all over him. If he plays,
Speaker 1: he's dealing with a hurt show dirt. Last week, though
Speaker 1: eighteen carries eighty five yards four point seven a run
Speaker 1: in a touchdown, over seventy five rushing yards per game
Speaker 1: this season, eight plus rush yards in five of his
Speaker 1: last six. Hey's got a touchdown unt touched into the
Speaker 1: end zone. Here are a few of the relevant notes
Speaker 1: regarding New York's run defense versus rushing quarterbacks. They lost
Speaker 1: to Lamar Jackson in Week one, but he didn't do
Speaker 1: anything significant on the ground against them. They beat Josh
Speaker 1: Allen in the Bills, but he got them pretty good
Speaker 1: when he took off in the end four point two
Speaker 1: yards per carry allowed to quarterbacks. That's solid Lamars cut
Speaker 1: from behind by C. J. Poseley. David Montgomery will get
Speaker 1: a decent share of carry's. Dude runs hard. He scored
Speaker 1: last week for the Bears over sixty five yards Montgomery
Speaker 1: Grand Roman Family end zone, patient running and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: He had another one of those grinder games, though, only
Speaker 1: three point nine yards per carry in Week eleven, just
Speaker 1: three point eight for the year. He won't have an
Speaker 1: easy time topping those kind of numbers. Versus New York,
Speaker 1: They're holding running backs to four a run and Stevenson
Speaker 1: wrapped up that time by John Franklin. Mayer fields the
Speaker 1: passer now last week just a hundred and fifty three
Speaker 1: yards a touchdown, an I n T rating under eighty five.
Speaker 1: He missed a big throw to Darnell Mooney. What's it all?
Speaker 1: What part overshot him? He hasn't put up any big
Speaker 1: yardage games recently through the air, but until last week
Speaker 1: he had a nice run of ninety nine plus rating
Speaker 1: games eight touchdowns to two I n T s in
Speaker 1: his last four games. Well can deep come in? Well
Speaker 1: He's got it? Oh call house fifty yard fars touched down.
Speaker 1: Still being throwing the ball isn't his specialty or the Bears,
Speaker 1: it would be odd to see him light up the
Speaker 1: Jets secondary. They remain one of the toughest defenses to
Speaker 1: throw on. Mooney is sort of Chicago's one wide receiver threat.
Speaker 1: New York can shadow him with either of their corners
Speaker 1: and feel good about the match up. We're now through
Speaker 1: eleven weeks in New York. Cornerback DJ Reid is still
Speaker 1: holding quarterbacks to a sub seventy rating Sauce Gardner a
Speaker 1: sub sixty rate Sauce Gardner again on the covers. Jets
Speaker 1: pass rush can make things difficult. This is a sneaky
Speaker 1: match up to Fields knows the grass as well as
Speaker 1: Willie Nelson four more sacks taken last week leads the
Speaker 1: league in getting planted. Here's the theoretical problem for fields.
Speaker 1: New York not only has a high sack total plus
Speaker 1: thirty pressure rate sack six or last week an set
Speaker 1: again Huff Price Huff coming in. They get those sacks
Speaker 1: without blitzing much. The blitz is what opens up some
Speaker 1: of those big fields runs. So you have this super
Speaker 1: intriguing risk matchup. When Chicago has the ball, then you
Speaker 1: get what like hungry, hungry hippos on the other side.
Speaker 1: Just throw some marbles out there and see what happens,
Speaker 1: and look until the running back Ti Johnson. The Jets
Speaker 1: passing attack generated seventy seven in yards last week. Head
Speaker 1: coach Robert Sala compared his offense to ship's creek, sort of.
Speaker 1: His description wasn't as funny and it smells. Zack Wilson
Speaker 1: last week with a fifty point eight rating, basically because
Speaker 1: he signed his name on the top of the s
Speaker 1: A T sheet A little hot here's great for mems.
Speaker 1: So Wilson was sent to the bench. Mike White time.
Speaker 1: He started three games last year. Remember when he threw
Speaker 1: for four hundred and five yards in one game, Member Chewbacca,
Speaker 1: Remember when he also threw four I N T s
Speaker 1: in one game? Remember when the flu was just the flu.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have big shoes to fill. At least Wilson
Speaker 1: averaged three point five yards a throw last week. Bad
Speaker 1: running backs pick up more than that. New York's backs, though,
Speaker 1: can't even claim that nineteen carries by Jets rbs last week,
Speaker 1: no one over two point five a carry. It seems
Speaker 1: like a long time since they've had some positive yards.
Speaker 1: At least that's significant. Pair that with Chicago's run defense
Speaker 1: four point seven or on allowed help here again, tighter
Speaker 1: else here part of a Wilson in the passing offense
Speaker 1: don't have as easy of a matchup. Chicago has played
Speaker 1: the past well enough in two rating allowed twelve to nine,
Speaker 1: t D two I and T ratio and Eddie Jackson
Speaker 1: comes up with a pick. Adam Rank is joined by
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com writer Grant Gordon and picking the Bears.
Speaker 1: The other eight have New York winning. It ever seen
Speaker 1: that Spider Man meme identical Spiderman pointing at each other.
Speaker 1: I know Carolina and Denver's uniforms don't look much alike,
Speaker 1: but you know there's still that shared sense of disappointment.
Speaker 1: So for these two organizations, a season full of injuries,
Speaker 1: blown leads, close losses. Denver leaves their comfy mile high
Speaker 1: confines for Carolina this week. Desperately in need of a win.
Speaker 1: After getting their gut punched by the Raiders in overtime,
Speaker 1: car loads up as it's all bad, walked off, touched
Speaker 1: down a sweep of the Blacks, Las Vegus and say
Speaker 1: what you will, but Carolina is only two wins behind
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. This win means as much to them as anyone.
Speaker 1: They come in just as cold, though offense only put
Speaker 1: up three points last week. Deflected at intercepted Chason Pierre
Speaker 1: Paul with the pick. So you have a matchup between
Speaker 1: the lowest scoring team in the NFL. Well throws on
Speaker 1: the run and it is taking on the team ranked
Speaker 1: points per game. Let's get ready to bumble. I guess
Speaker 1: Baker in trouble again and he's sacked by Calais Campbell
Speaker 1: in one corner. You have Russell Wilson having the worst
Speaker 1: statistical year of his career. It's like he can't hack
Speaker 1: it in Denver. That's worthy of an injection. Right against
Speaker 1: Las Vegas last week, two thirty seven yards that's not bad,
Speaker 1: but zero touchdowns again, chase and down he goes. Who
Speaker 1: could have seen this coming? Completing less than sixty of
Speaker 1: his passes, only seven touchdowns to five picks, a passer
Speaker 1: ray in the tank. Those are the kind of mistakes
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson can't make. It's easy to assume that
Speaker 1: if Wilson can find any consistency whatsoever, he could get
Speaker 1: them back on track versus the Panthers. Okay, now let's
Speaker 1: see who we have in the other corner. Sam Donald, Sure,
Speaker 1: why not? Sammy d makes his first start of Refresher
Speaker 1: four and seven for the Panthers last year, one of
Speaker 1: the lowest ratings of any QB at seventy one point nine.
Speaker 1: Maybe Donald gives them a spark the way p J did.
Speaker 1: Though this past Sunday was a microcosm of their issues.
Speaker 1: The Panthers only managed two hundred and five total yards.
Speaker 1: They gave up four sacks, went three for twelve on
Speaker 1: third down, lost a fumble through two picks the sept
Speaker 1: the hun free with a pick Humphree ending the Panthers holps.
Speaker 1: So you've got the team with the fourth fewest passing
Speaker 1: yards set to face the third stingiest pass defense. What
Speaker 1: could possibly go wrong? Allowing less than six yards per attempt?
Speaker 1: Baker is up against it. So what about the Carolina
Speaker 1: secondary Wilson faces not playing at Denver's level, but not
Speaker 1: too shabby. Have held qbs to a ninety rating, holding
Speaker 1: them under seven yards per attempt. Wilson likely avoids J. C. Horne.
Speaker 1: That dude is legit. Let picks off at the thirty seven.
Speaker 1: You say, she horn. How about the run games? Carolina
Speaker 1: sixth worst at stopping the run. Unfortunately for Orange Crush,
Speaker 1: faithful Denver doesn't support a great rush attack bottom ten
Speaker 1: and yards per game, averaging only three point nine yards
Speaker 1: per carry. Panthers have had some success when Deonte Foreman
Speaker 1: is blown up he didn't last week, but Denver's defense
Speaker 1: has allowed a hefty four point seven yards per There's
Speaker 1: just no way to sugarcoat this one as a prep
Speaker 1: for the holidays. This is a regifted fruit loaf going
Speaker 1: up against a pair of socks. Appropriate. Five Broncos votes,
Speaker 1: five Panther's votes. That fits this game. The Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: are back at home after a trip south of the border.
Speaker 1: They take on the l A Chargers, who maybe coming
Speaker 1: in after a loss, but they may have at least
Speaker 1: re found their identity. Chargers, They're all been running right away.
Speaker 1: Looks different for those two guys. Welcome back, Welcome back,
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Chargers were playing like sweat hogs without Mr
Speaker 1: Pottery film. With Keenan Allen back on the field. Though
Speaker 1: LA's passing offense finally looked right again, It's not like
Speaker 1: he posted some ridiculous stat line five catches ninety four yards,
Speaker 1: but Allen's presence simply makes everyone around him better, most importantly,
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. He missed the playmaker the most. Herbert is
Speaker 1: not supposed to be a dinkin dunker. From weeks five
Speaker 1: to ten, his yards per attempt under seven. It was
Speaker 1: under six for the four games prior to last week.
Speaker 1: Then Allen returns nine point three in attempt along with
Speaker 1: two eight yards un in thirteen point two rating, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: down sucks, down s. Alan didn't have Mike Williams for
Speaker 1: long before he left her Again, Arizona still has another
Speaker 1: white out to contend with, though Josh Palmer was the
Speaker 1: star of their loss. Eight catches a hundred and eight yards,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, touchdown. The secondary they faced not in good
Speaker 1: shape George Cattle touchstone. Maybe Arizona starting dvs didn't make
Speaker 1: that trick. Anyone who showed up to that game that
Speaker 1: didn't really know a lot about the NFL left thinking
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is the best QUB in the history of
Speaker 1: football and that outing wasn't a fluke either. Zona's play
Speaker 1: against the past pretty brutal In two in five, Garoppolo
Speaker 1: pulls it down. A lot of throwing catch touch stole
Speaker 1: that Cardinal's offense wasn't able to keep up in week eleven.
Speaker 1: If they have two in week twelve, who will they
Speaker 1: have at QUB They had to roll with Colt McCoy
Speaker 1: again last week. Can't be mad that they didn't do
Speaker 1: much with him back there. He already got him a
Speaker 1: win to more a question of will Kyler Murray play
Speaker 1: and will he played better than he had prior to
Speaker 1: his injury. He hasn't lit any stash sheets on fire
Speaker 1: this season. Kyler back to pass bouncing around seven seconds.
Speaker 1: Arizona's hopes of picking up win number five seemed to
Speaker 1: be tied to getting Murray back. He has one Murray game.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, in turn, has a monster game. He was
Speaker 1: still good for nine catches ninety one yards and their
Speaker 1: blowout loss kidding smars the first step. If they can
Speaker 1: cobble a passing attack together, they would be facing a
Speaker 1: rattled secondary. Chargers allowed three touchdowns no I N T
Speaker 1: s last week a hundred twenty eight rating allows. That,
Speaker 1: of course, was against Patrick Mahomes. Still, l A hasn't
Speaker 1: played the past great this season either, and they've played
Speaker 1: the wrong and even worse. They'll get to the end
Speaker 1: of James was glass side from Murray. Though Arizona has
Speaker 1: one of the least productive rush attacks. Both teams still
Speaker 1: have playoff aspirations, though Arizona's are on thin ice. All
Speaker 1: ten votes from the panel have bolt Up taking this game.
Speaker 1: The l A Rams limped their way east this week.
Speaker 1: These are some challenging times, um, but you can't jump
Speaker 1: off the roller coaster. They draw the Kansas City Chiefs,
Speaker 1: a game that was supposed to be a Sunday Night
Speaker 1: football flex candidate. Well, the Chiefs are still flexing. At
Speaker 1: least it's crossing panel cut Kelsey Townyard touchdo Chansas City
Speaker 1: and at one seconds the Chiefs TA. With that touchdown,
Speaker 1: Kansas City solidified its standing as Numero uno in the
Speaker 1: a f C. But like Dre told Kendrick, anyone can
Speaker 1: get it. The hard part is keeping it, my friend,
Speaker 1: which means not getting tripped up by a three and
Speaker 1: seven team when you're at home, a three and seven
Speaker 1: team that just gave up three t D passes to
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Right now, it feels bad. It's not fun.
Speaker 1: There's nothing that's fun about it. Ten point four yards
Speaker 1: per attempt to Andy Dalton, exactly how we had it
Speaker 1: planned a one forty nine point six rating to Andy Dalton.
Speaker 1: Dalton set the three loads on the hits and fired
Speaker 1: to the gold line for the touchdown Andy Salton delivers.
Speaker 1: They don't face Andy Dalton this week, though, they face
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes NFL leader and t D passes and passing
Speaker 1: yards per game rating one oh seven point three torched
Speaker 1: the other l A team for three nine yards and
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Mahomes going towards Forts and on a wheelhard
Speaker 1: tanxas and its side the five a terrific throw by Maholes,
Speaker 1: who laid it in right between the table. Aids of
Speaker 1: Forts and Rams have to be able to keep Patrick's
Speaker 1: main Mahomy from setting the tone. Just Travis and you
Speaker 1: guys tied in of all time. Travis Kelsey comes in
Speaker 1: off another monster outing t D hat trick a hundred
Speaker 1: and fift teen yards. He goes to Kelsey Paris, that's
Speaker 1: not the head comes on. The Angulan plots into the episode,
Speaker 1: crossing pattern caught at the twenty five yard line. Kelsey's
Speaker 1: a tack on the right sideline fine touchdown as we
Speaker 1: just showed you l a secondary play in line with
Speaker 1: their record rating allowed over ninety five on the season,
Speaker 1: allowing almost seventy of passes to be completed. What about
Speaker 1: their play versus tight ends Travis Kelsey His ability to
Speaker 1: run after the catch second to none as tight ends
Speaker 1: rating alloud of one oh eight point four three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks settled down, Travis looking looking pose to the middle,
Speaker 1: and that is gonna be not is gonna be touchdown end.
Speaker 1: Kansas City's passing barrage starts with Kelsey, then goes through
Speaker 1: a variety of receivers they didn't have Juju or mcole
Speaker 1: Hartman versus l a so Mr bath Bomb utilized Justin
Speaker 1: Watson and sky Moore, sixty plus yards for each of
Speaker 1: those guys. Once again, play out of Justusin Watson, That
Speaker 1: thing was about two ft off the ground. Sky More
Speaker 1: goes down and gets it to keep it close. The
Speaker 1: Rams have to play receivers well then as well. In
Speaker 1: two they've given up a one point one rating to
Speaker 1: that position. Got burned by Chris O Lovey on a
Speaker 1: huge TV while giving up a hundred and two yards
Speaker 1: to him Salton has a shotgun snap Parson purpose blinds.
Speaker 1: I get the prow away down the middle of Feld
Speaker 1: spilled in the end, huts down New Orleans. You're Jalen Ramsy.
Speaker 1: This is all on youth in Kansas City's running back
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco keep his mojo going. The one thing the
Speaker 1: Rams have done exceptionally well is stopped runners just three
Speaker 1: point nine yards per carry allowed. But Checko rolls in
Speaker 1: off back to back good games. A hundred and seven
Speaker 1: yards last week seven point one a run. He looked
Speaker 1: really good on some of those scampers to eight plus
Speaker 1: rush yards on five plus and each of his last
Speaker 1: two contests check on the back, go pick the all
Speaker 1: open but into the secondary right check the Rams could
Speaker 1: keep up in theory being the Chief's past defense has
Speaker 1: been pretty porous and l A has Matthew Stafford. Maybe
Speaker 1: I gotta talk to the doctors. You know, obviously, well,
Speaker 1: we need to make a smart decision for Matthew. He
Speaker 1: got pulled from the game over concussion concerns. Prior to leaving,
Speaker 1: he didn't look bad. Staffordspot well touchdown eight point eight
Speaker 1: yards per attempt to TDS rating over all without Cooper cup.
Speaker 1: So that's like double right. Stafford go on pt bday
Speaker 1: rob for the go ahead touchdown. If Stafford can't go,
Speaker 1: then the Goliath is even bigger. Bryce Perkins came on
Speaker 1: in relief of Stafford. Hope, he brings a rock and slings.
Speaker 1: You're all over him again and the Rams cannot block anywhere.
Speaker 1: Perkins did run for thirty nine yards seven point eight
Speaker 1: per cam Akers sixty one yards four point four per
Speaker 1: Kiren Williams thirty six yards five point one to carry.
Speaker 1: Team as a whole went for a hundred and forty
Speaker 1: eight yards four point nine a run. It's a toss
Speaker 1: left Akers of the perimeter. He's got it, can Akers
Speaker 1: moving the chains on Pourt down in line. We bring
Speaker 1: that up because occasionally a team neutralizes mahomes by keeping
Speaker 1: them on the sidelines. Chiefs gave up four point four
Speaker 1: a carry to Austin Ekeler. That's what their defense is
Speaker 1: allowed for the season, to break tackles all over the
Speaker 1: place before Bryant Cook can make the stuff. No buyers
Speaker 1: on the Rams ten person panel used red and yellow
Speaker 1: chalk for this one. All Chiefs Seattle Seahawks are at
Speaker 1: home after their bye week, taking on the Las Vegas Raiders,
Speaker 1: who just showed they are not a team to be overlooked.
Speaker 1: This all bad DA touched out a sweep up Blacks
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. On some level, the black Hole might say
Speaker 1: last week was what they expected every week in not
Speaker 1: necessarily early dominance, but an offense that not only features
Speaker 1: the Taco Bell franchise himself winning the game, but Davante
Speaker 1: Adams also catching another touchdown along with a hundred and
Speaker 1: forty one yards. That worker guy better have hooked him
Speaker 1: up with a free Mexican pizza when he got home
Speaker 1: like a million bucks, like a hundred million. Adams was
Speaker 1: the centerpiece to their latest when Derek Carr in turn
Speaker 1: had a nice outing over three hundred yards almost nine
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, a rating over a hundred two TVs
Speaker 1: and no picks lost their corner hands of the air
Speaker 1: grabs it touchdown rators. So now that duo takes on,
Speaker 1: hands down, the most famous cornerback group in the history
Speaker 1: of the NFL. You don't want to be starting something
Speaker 1: with Michael Jackson. He's holding things down to the tune
Speaker 1: of a seventy one point one rating against eight passes defense.
Speaker 1: Let's just knocked down. Jackson came out of nowhere to
Speaker 1: get a hand all that ball and slap it down.
Speaker 1: Not many dudes ever wanted to challenge Kobe, but Car
Speaker 1: might want to challenge this Bryant rating allowed over one
Speaker 1: ten fires followers caught by Yeah, I hear some air.
Speaker 1: These puns are hortable. I know, I know. Anyway. Car
Speaker 1: has to deal with terryk Wolan as well. Five interceptions
Speaker 1: on the year. Harry steps up, He's gonna folk keep
Speaker 1: down the sideline at one breaks off another interception. How
Speaker 1: are you? Kidman? Woollen is a big reason Seattle has
Speaker 1: held wide receivers to a sub ninety rating, but they've
Speaker 1: given up a hundred and twelve point five rate to
Speaker 1: tight ends and allowed them to catch five t d s.
Speaker 1: It's a tackle. He's still driving and finally the Seahawks
Speaker 1: are able to bring him down. Car only targeted tight
Speaker 1: end Foster Moreau three times last week. He caught one
Speaker 1: pass for thirty three yards. He could be in for
Speaker 1: more this week. Throws over the middle. Who all right
Speaker 1: over at the fifty? They were striking right down the
Speaker 1: scene with a head of Steve. Car has faced a
Speaker 1: plus thirty fresher rate in two, which is not good.
Speaker 1: Week eleven, mid twenties pressure rate faced better. Hawks pass
Speaker 1: rush been applying close to a thirty pressure rate, blitzing
Speaker 1: just sixteen point one percent of the time, So they're
Speaker 1: high sack total that much more impressive. Hu Chenna and
Speaker 1: Wosue the guy car has to worry most about has
Speaker 1: seven sacks, one of the best pass rushers, and the
Speaker 1: game gets a sack. Raiders explored twenty two points last
Speaker 1: week two average two. Way to mix it up, Hawks
Speaker 1: over twenty five a game top five in the NFL.
Speaker 1: If you're like three points makes that big a difference.
Speaker 1: It's a game of inches for a reason. Seattle's top
Speaker 1: five scoring status thanks in large part to the greatest
Speaker 1: comeback story since the average Joe's what a drop biggest
Speaker 1: A secondary now takes on the QB with the highest
Speaker 1: completion rate in the NFL. Bro Gino Smith coming in
Speaker 1: with a seventeen to four tdd I and t ratio
Speaker 1: of fat one oh eight point zero rating, Well definitely
Speaker 1: just reaches up the defender couldn't get to it. Geno
Speaker 1: put it right in the right spot. Here's hoping the
Speaker 1: bye week wasn't some kind of Cinderella thing that old
Speaker 1: lady better no Gino is a game fan to come
Speaker 1: try and take his airmax n At midnight, UM Raiders
Speaker 1: square off with a passing attack built primarily around two guys.
Speaker 1: They have to be able to play the wide receiver
Speaker 1: position well to slow Smith, Tyler Lockett, and DK Metcalf
Speaker 1: each catch about five passes per game. Their sixty yard
Speaker 1: per game type guys nine touchdowns between UM touch staff
Speaker 1: J Mitcham put stuff. That group faces what might be
Speaker 1: the most generous secondary in the game. Big as his
Speaker 1: past defense bottom dwellers across the board, slack clock camblet
Speaker 1: ted breaks my pardness touchdown told the highlight to their
Speaker 1: most recent showing. They didn't allow a touchdown pass and
Speaker 1: they sacked Russell Wilson three times and mad Max Crosby
Speaker 1: woke from his slumber and got him twice. He has
Speaker 1: nine for the year. Now Rosby run games more than
Speaker 1: x factors Seattle's run game in the hands of Kenneth Walker.
Speaker 1: He's had some monster games, has a four point nine
Speaker 1: yard per carry average. There's lots to do. It's all
Speaker 1: for sixty. He comes in a little icy, though not
Speaker 1: the blame kind, but the kind where he's put up
Speaker 1: a couple of duds seventeen yards on ten carries the
Speaker 1: last time we saw him. Walker gets the hand all
Speaker 1: drugs into his old band, goot down of Blaser's yards.
Speaker 1: Good heavens man, when it raids it cours. Raiders defense
Speaker 1: may have allowed four point four yards per carry overall,
Speaker 1: but they have held running backs to a four point
Speaker 1: one average. Stretched into the left side for the running
Speaker 1: back and Latavians Murray's driven back. Then there's Josh Jacobs.
Speaker 1: He might be the hidden key for the Raiders. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: last week over a hundred yards four and a half
Speaker 1: a run. Raiders are three and one in his hundred
Speaker 1: plus yard games, and they lost by a hair in
Speaker 1: the one loss hand off into the pelly of pick
Speaker 1: up bouncing up Jacob's face. Is a defense that's allowed
Speaker 1: four point six yards per carry, which is high, but
Speaker 1: to running backs a little better, just four point three
Speaker 1: per not one Raider vote on the ten person panel
Speaker 1: a little surprising. They're all buying Seattle this week. The
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints playoff hopes are alive. End well for
Speaker 1: four hundred regular season victory. Now they'll hope to strengthen
Speaker 1: those hopes on the road off to San Francisco, where
Speaker 1: they'll face a budding offensive juggernaut George Kettle s downers,
Speaker 1: expectations and potential meat reality. All the ingredients the forty
Speaker 1: Niners were expecting to take their offense to a whole
Speaker 1: another level came together in their win over Arizona last week.
Speaker 1: Saints faced one of the deepest Russia attacks week eleven.
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell fifty nine yards six point six a round
Speaker 1: second game back and they're going to ride him got
Speaker 1: nine and a half. Deebo Samuel thirty seven yards twelve
Speaker 1: point one per touchdown. You cluck in dee ball and
Speaker 1: sound touchdown point. CMC thirty nine yards five point six
Speaker 1: a carry had a big play for the forty Niners
Speaker 1: of twenty for Christian mccaprick. With that lineup, the Niners
Speaker 1: would appear to hold a significant advantage when they run
Speaker 1: the ball because New Orleans has struggled to stop ball
Speaker 1: carriers four point six allowed per run overall, four point
Speaker 1: five allowed to running backs. They gave up four point
Speaker 1: nine a run to the Rams last week, and l
Speaker 1: A's run game was one of the least of this
Speaker 1: year the toss it is acres and he will pick
Speaker 1: up a first town at more. San Francisco's run game
Speaker 1: will look to put New Orleans D on its heels,
Speaker 1: just like they did to Arizona. And once they get
Speaker 1: you wobbling, they hit you with a precise passing attach.
Speaker 1: There's a nice one to Samuel Tico inside at thirty five.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo should ask the forty Niners to become the
Speaker 1: first team in Mexico. Imagine if he played every game
Speaker 1: like he did south of the Border, A hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty one point nine rating, golden sombrero full of t
Speaker 1: D passes. What's off the edge? Are you? Has got
Speaker 1: his second touchdown? Forty Niners. They're passing attack has just
Speaker 1: as many layers to it. That's what makes them so
Speaker 1: hard to defend. Now. Tight end George Kittle caught two
Speaker 1: t d's last week. Garoppolo, Well, Florida, he's got kettle
Speaker 1: and churn on. It's gone to the touch job wide
Speaker 1: receiver Brandon I, you did as well. Turned down In five,
Speaker 1: Garoppolo pulls the town ends on want of flowing tech touchtown.
Speaker 1: Do you Deebo and CMC both seven catches hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty four yards between them. They have so many offensive
Speaker 1: weapons that can do so many different things. Still, the
Speaker 1: Saints have played quarterbacks better than runners by a wide margin.
Speaker 1: Garoppolo and his line up against the club with thirty
Speaker 1: two sacks while blitzing less than twenty of the time.
Speaker 1: Stud pressure take it down back at their pressure has
Speaker 1: led to good play by their DBS complementary football, holding
Speaker 1: quarterbacks under seven yards for attempt, low sixties completion percentage
Speaker 1: allowed Stres. It was Chris Harris for Fedig. Of course
Speaker 1: I got all the raps punts. Being San Francisco has
Speaker 1: key pass catchers at each position. Saints have given up
Speaker 1: a ninety two point two rating to running backs. That's
Speaker 1: pretty low, sixty five point eight to tight ends. That's
Speaker 1: tough for Kittle, but they have a blind spot wide
Speaker 1: receivers hundred nine point one rating allowed to them. Ten
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed just one. I N T. Jamar Chase a
Speaker 1: sixty yard touchdown up. Bengals have the lead. Oh Saints
Speaker 1: offense might need to keep up then, and they could
Speaker 1: do it if Andy Dalton can come close to his
Speaker 1: Week eleven showing one sixty yards ten point four yards
Speaker 1: per attempt, three touchdowns, no pics, a rating of one
Speaker 1: forty nine point six dropping dots or dimes or both,
Speaker 1: connected with nine different guys field take it out Saints
Speaker 1: touchdown Cristal lave hauled in that view part of another
Speaker 1: plus one hundred yard game for the young and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be just too easy. Taysom Hill making that nice
Speaker 1: throw to Chris Dalton. Took three sacks last week too,
Speaker 1: So wasn't that he wasn't under pressure. He likely has
Speaker 1: to take a few more this week. Nick Bosa added
Speaker 1: another sack to his total last week. San Francisco getting
Speaker 1: home three times versus Arizona, give us just goes right
Speaker 1: past them in a straight shot at Alt McCoy. Niners
Speaker 1: past defense has played well in two played Colt McCoy
Speaker 1: well for whatever that's PLoP plots in this rue's tipped
Speaker 1: in complete green Law. Saints run game has been uneven lately.
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara four straight games under four yards per run.
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill effective from the QB spot last week, nine
Speaker 1: carries fifty two yards up the middle. Hell, we'll pick
Speaker 1: up the first town acaw Often will they want to
Speaker 1: test San Francisco on the ground, though, they're the hardest
Speaker 1: team to run on and it doesn't matter if it's
Speaker 1: a running back or a quarterback, holding both positions to
Speaker 1: a Ron Measley three point two yards per care, I
Speaker 1: really can't get anything going on the ground. Connor ends
Speaker 1: up sliding down the line and losing one. No need
Speaker 1: for motivational speech for either team. If a shot to
Speaker 1: the dance isn't motivation enough, get off the field. The
Speaker 1: forts most recent showing convinces the panel of ten all
Speaker 1: choosing San Francisco to win this week. Well, this match
Speaker 1: up has a lot more to it now, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Falcon's flying off to the land where men do work
Speaker 1: with Gavel's still waiting for someone to get that one.
Speaker 1: There no reason to be scared. Washington to host both
Speaker 1: teams with plenty of incentive to pull out a win.
Speaker 1: Commanders the next team to take on in Atlanta. Offense
Speaker 1: still operating with Bruce Springsteen jamming in their earbuds. Falcon's
Speaker 1: approach to moving the ball got him another win last week.
Speaker 1: They are born to run thirty three carries in Week
Speaker 1: eleven against just twenty passes. Four point five a run
Speaker 1: said it last week. Stars of their rush attack very
Speaker 1: week to week. They don't seem to mind sharing. Marcus
Speaker 1: Mariotta beautifully executed. Commander's defense does have some bulk to it.
Speaker 1: They are going to be tough on Atlanta's backs, as
Speaker 1: they've held that position to four a carry Nowhere John
Speaker 1: Allen blows up the play. Marcus Mariota can also factor
Speaker 1: along the ground. He ran thirteen times last week. Didn't
Speaker 1: do much yardage y, but he's capable of it, and
Speaker 1: he did score. Marcus will keep it right side, diving
Speaker 1: into the touchdown. Atlanta commanders against running quarterbacks even better
Speaker 1: than they've been versus running backs, just three point five
Speaker 1: a scamper. They faced Jalen Hurts twice too, Hurts and
Speaker 1: Trouble and brought down five Monthes sweat al right Washington's offense.
Speaker 1: They've won their last two games with the same formula.
Speaker 1: Use your run game the way family guy does a
Speaker 1: drawn out Joe. Even when it feels like okay, we
Speaker 1: get it, keep doing it and it gets better. Down
Speaker 1: oh the second Robinson. Washington knocked off unbeaten Philadelphia a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago with a fat rush attempt figure under
Speaker 1: four yards per carry last week forty more runs three
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry, and the w data on
Speaker 1: the ground that the first Washington at a stand up
Speaker 1: in the flags. It's body blow football at its finest. Falcons,
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, have given up four point for
Speaker 1: a run. That's not great a tape foreman. It's been
Speaker 1: a clock game for Washington. Their offense doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be great, they just have to be on the field.
Speaker 1: They've dominated time of possession the last two weeks. Four
Speaker 1: th the QBS for both teams. Passing attacks for both
Speaker 1: teams supposed to provide a handful of shots to the head,
Speaker 1: so to speak. They both still carry the X factor
Speaker 1: stand Atlanta still has one of the lowest passing attempt totals.
Speaker 1: Mariota does come in off a good outing only a
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one yards, but are rating over a
Speaker 1: hundred of touchdown no I n teams back one drake
Speaker 1: one of Notewhere, Mariota faces a secondary largely responsible for
Speaker 1: some solid numbers. Commanders one of those teams, holding qbs
Speaker 1: to a nice low sixties completion rate rating allowed low nineties,
Speaker 1: at least good enough probably to make Atlanta stick to
Speaker 1: the book throw it again, it's like picked off, like
Speaker 1: four thirty the sidelight, it goes pick six touch down.
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke, he didn't give the ball away last week.
Speaker 1: No numbers from that game or the year worth diving into.
Speaker 1: He's more attitude touchdown. When you assess Washington's passing attack,
Speaker 1: it's more about Terry McLaurin. So for the record, four
Speaker 1: catches last week fifty five yards, almost twenty yards fewer
Speaker 1: than this season average. Falcon's pass defense Washington faces not
Speaker 1: good in another rough campaign, but the A t L
Speaker 1: does come in off a nice defensive performance against the
Speaker 1: past picked off Justin Fields and held him to a
Speaker 1: sub ninety rating. It's up Len Hawkins. Just come up
Speaker 1: with the pack. They were also feeling the thanksgiving spirit.
Speaker 1: Falcon's got home four times. He will be sick. Justin
Speaker 1: Fields just taken down. I said all this was X
Speaker 1: factor material. The Commander's offensive line has given up a
Speaker 1: high pressure rate, given up a lot of sacks then
Speaker 1: last week. Heineke doesn't go down once Mariota knows the feeling.
Speaker 1: Falcons have allowed a thirty four point seven pressure rate
Speaker 1: in two zero sacks, only gets hit once last week.
Speaker 1: Maybe the Bears were trying really hard not to get
Speaker 1: any Sarcasta flags and no pressure resets fires underneath. This
Speaker 1: is out here regardless. You have a team that allows
Speaker 1: a very high pressure rate with Atlanta against a defense
Speaker 1: that applies a very high rate. Washington's pass rush over
Speaker 1: the coveted pressure rate line five sacks last week, Montes
Speaker 1: sweat dur On, paying Jonathan Allen responsible for all five
Speaker 1: bock at the thirty yard line. Three of our voters
Speaker 1: took Washington seven a t L believers. Jacksonville Jaguars, rested
Speaker 1: after a week off, hopefully better prepared to take on
Speaker 1: a Baltimore Ravens squad whose specialty is one the Jags
Speaker 1: have had trouble with keep read opts to read up
Speaker 1: a middle twenty five thirty quite a tackle Heason afford it.
Speaker 1: Jackson's pooled out of the tackle. Baltimore didn't shine along
Speaker 1: the ground last week, doesn't mean it's not where this
Speaker 1: matchup starts, because Lamar Jackson would seem to have a
Speaker 1: mighty big advantage with his legs. Despite his quiet week
Speaker 1: alive outing, He's still the Ravens leading rusher. He's still
Speaker 1: the guy the Jags, after devote resources to stop Jackson
Speaker 1: keeps it on the read option, still on his state
Speaker 1: Bengals forty five forty. Here's the thing with Jacksonville. They
Speaker 1: have played two teams with mobile quarterbacks, the Eagles and
Speaker 1: the Giants. They lost both games. They gave up two
Speaker 1: ten rush yards and each loss. Jones will move slide.
Speaker 1: He's on his way for a first art. They've held
Speaker 1: runners to four point two yards per carry, but they've
Speaker 1: given a four point five and carry to quarterbacks. Parts
Speaker 1: gonna run it. It's I did tend another advantage Baltimore.
Speaker 1: We'll look to take advantage of the tight end in
Speaker 1: the passing game. Clearly, their own aerial attack lows through
Speaker 1: that position most games. Mark Andrews made his return from
Speaker 1: injury last week, immediately made an impact. Eight targets, six catches,
Speaker 1: a little over sixty yards. Jackson on the role grows across.
Speaker 1: There's Andrews. How happy is he to have this guy packed?
Speaker 1: The Jaguars have played the past well in general, but
Speaker 1: they have struggled versus tight ends. They've allowed a ninety
Speaker 1: rating overall, but versus tight ends a hundred and fourteen pulse.
Speaker 1: Ravens are hoping to have Gus Edwards back in this game.
Speaker 1: Without him last week, Baltimore's offense wasn't the same. They
Speaker 1: were a five point five a run team heading into
Speaker 1: gel and only managed three point eight yards per carry
Speaker 1: on thirty carries versus Carolinas right again trying to get
Speaker 1: to the edge and he will. Jacksonville's own run games
Speaker 1: key to this match up to their investment in E
Speaker 1: t N s is paid off smarter and healthier people
Speaker 1: to meet get at Jack's running back Travis is Stock
Speaker 1: though is soaring five point five yards per carry, a
Speaker 1: hundred plus rush yard games and three of his last four,
Speaker 1: and then turns it up the field again. Could be
Speaker 1: tough for E t N to make an impact against
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Baltimore held Caroline at two point one yards
Speaker 1: per carry on seventeen runs last week. Rokewan Smith has
Speaker 1: made a difference. Mayfield on the run chase to the sidelines,
Speaker 1: Rowan Smith shoves him out of bounds. Jack's offense is
Speaker 1: one you'd consider balanced, though Ravens have to focus on
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence as much as anyone. I wonder if he
Speaker 1: went to Aerosmith with his loser friends on the by.
Speaker 1: Lawrence better signed that sheet too if he wants to
Speaker 1: pull an upset. Assuming he did, Ravens are taking on
Speaker 1: and improved Randall Pink Flora Lawrence to the ends, turned
Speaker 1: fulks on for the touchdown. Lawrence's completion percentage way up
Speaker 1: compared to rookie year t d to iron t ratio
Speaker 1: flipped the right side up, yards per attempt up over
Speaker 1: a half yard yards per game, up twenty plus, rating
Speaker 1: almost twenty points higher. What a dominating performance by the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: This is a statement. I mean they came and enrolled
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles charges Baltimore is facing a wide receiver
Speaker 1: dominant passing attack with a little tight end mixed in.
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram has chipped in with about thirty five yards
Speaker 1: per game, but Whiteout's Christian Kirk and z Jones Lawrence's
Speaker 1: top two targets, each averaging over five receptions a game. Kirk,
Speaker 1: the big play man, leads the team with seven touchdowns
Speaker 1: sixty seven receiving yards per games. God, and it's a
Speaker 1: touchdown Christian Kirk. Ravens counter with a secondary that led
Speaker 1: them to their most recent win. Doesn't matter. The QB
Speaker 1: they faced has performed better making commercials and throwing a
Speaker 1: football either way. Picked off Baker Mayfield twice. No touchdowns allowed.
Speaker 1: Key law facing a d that has held Dubis to
Speaker 1: a sub ninety rating for the season. Rushed forward, did
Speaker 1: Mayfield looking over the accepted? Deflected at it accepted? Jason Pierre,
Speaker 1: Paul look the pit. Pressuring and planting Lawrence won't be
Speaker 1: easy for Baltimore. He's received pretty good pass protection in
Speaker 1: most games. Pressure rate faced mid twenties. Those trenches are key, then,
Speaker 1: because Baltimore has one of the highest sacked holes in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Planted Mayfield four times. Baker Mayfield, It's a
Speaker 1: trouble and Debby goes to Jason here Paul Adam Rank
Speaker 1: calling for the upset alert by taking his second favorite team, Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Other nine votes went to Baltimore Houston Texans hit the
Speaker 1: road and head east this week, off to Miami to
Speaker 1: take on a arrested Dolphins squad man. That doesn't seem fair.
Speaker 1: Does it look good up front? I don't help what
Speaker 1: I get it. This preview could be everyone thinks the
Speaker 1: Dolphins when they're passing attack is dominant. They're playing the
Speaker 1: worst team in the NFL. Here's the blowout scores our
Speaker 1: panel chose piece. I mean, yes, it's hard to get
Speaker 1: any more lopsided than a one win team taking on
Speaker 1: the only undefeated team left in the NFL. Doesn't get
Speaker 1: any better than that? What play? Should we keep going?
Speaker 1: Just to see how many people hit the comments section?
Speaker 1: Does game preview by? Then watch the NFL? Miami has
Speaker 1: three losses. This guy's a clown. Both those statements are true,
Speaker 1: but the Dolphins record in games when they're designated two
Speaker 1: starting QB has started and finished flawless, making the two
Speaker 1: A Dolphins the last unbeaten standing to throw it out,
Speaker 1: look at it, throws it touchdown. I have a Mica
Speaker 1: second Texan secondary. Your turn. They're getting in the ring
Speaker 1: with the most electric casts or in the game right now.
Speaker 1: Nine point one yards per a temp first, twelve point
Speaker 1: nine yards per completion, first rating a hundred and eighteen
Speaker 1: point four first completing his passes eighteen to three t
Speaker 1: D to I N T ratio to a shotgut back
Speaker 1: to throw looking looking looking steps up fires, touch dot
Speaker 1: game it's waddle his six touchdown past the Houston's dbs
Speaker 1: have to cover more than the field. This week, they
Speaker 1: have to cover the entire globe from the north pole.
Speaker 1: He's got and a touchdot the waddle to the desert
Speaker 1: plains of Africa open unbelievable touchdots. Nick Hill by seven
Speaker 1: or eight yard Texans defense first has to try and
Speaker 1: contain Tyreek Hill, hauling in eight balls per game a
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen yards per game, leads the league in
Speaker 1: receptions and receiving yards. Well, I'll clothelothloth Clote. Cheetahs hit
Speaker 1: seventy miles per hour on land, So counter Hill with
Speaker 1: Houston's Mexican free tailed bat and Houston should be good
Speaker 1: to go. So what they don't have one of those?
Speaker 1: I know the nickname is a girl, but Mexican freetailed
Speaker 1: bats have been known to frack a hundred miles per hour. Fine, well,
Speaker 1: they also need either Batman or a polar bear in
Speaker 1: their secondary. Jalen, close to ninety receiving yards per game,
Speaker 1: has waddled into paint six times to throw all the
Speaker 1: touchdown perfect throwing catch Texans secondary that trio takes on.
Speaker 1: Maybe the team's won semi strength doesn't mean they can
Speaker 1: hold Miami's receivers in check, but they held Taylor Heineke
Speaker 1: in check last week, and they have a sub ninety
Speaker 1: rating allowed for the Seasonine to throw then complete it's
Speaker 1: fourth down. Dolphins love to travel via the skies, but
Speaker 1: they are better equipped to take the low road if
Speaker 1: need be. Ra Hay Moster over four and a half
Speaker 1: a run this season. Newcomer Jeff Wilson huge game for Miami.
Speaker 1: The last time we saw him. Branks to the outside,
Speaker 1: got blocking in front of it. Touchdown. Texans played the
Speaker 1: run well last week. Didn't fit how they looked against
Speaker 1: runners most of two though they've been one of the
Speaker 1: easiest teams to gain yards against along the ground. The
Speaker 1: Texans are that team at this point. They're the NFL
Speaker 1: speed bump. If you're not careful, they can make you
Speaker 1: feel it, but most of the time teams drive right
Speaker 1: over that pass is intercepted at Davis Mills two I
Speaker 1: n T s last week versus Washington. Houston deciding it's
Speaker 1: time to try Brandon Allen out nine career starts in
Speaker 1: four years. That says all you need to know. He
Speaker 1: takes over a fence and will hope to add some
Speaker 1: O to it. Texans under seventeen points per game, freeze
Speaker 1: up that left hand to get up knocked that ball down.
Speaker 1: This matchup is get right for some one. They've given
Speaker 1: up one of the highest pass ratings in the game,
Speaker 1: their top corner, Xavian Howard, who's had injury issues, giving
Speaker 1: up a rating over one twenty Hey brow j J
Speaker 1: Open on the run. What if Houston employs a ground
Speaker 1: in pound strategy. Texans one silver lining on offense has
Speaker 1: been running back Damien Pierce, but he comes in off
Speaker 1: a fool's gold performance ten carries only eight yards and
Speaker 1: going nowhere. It's worth noting Dolphins defense isn't going to
Speaker 1: be easy to pierce along the ground. Look, man, what
Speaker 1: do you want me to do when I walk by
Speaker 1: a ball on a t leave it sitting there? Miami
Speaker 1: has allowed four point six a carry to runners, but
Speaker 1: they've held running backs to three point seven a run,
Speaker 1: making them one of the hardest for backs to gain yards.
Speaker 1: On is known for people bouncing off of him and
Speaker 1: shaking tackles and get a yardage after contact. Not this time,
Speaker 1: all ten of our pickers chose Houston. No they didn't.
Speaker 1: They all to point ammy. The Pittsburgh Steelers are off
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis relegated semi officially to the role of spoiler.
Speaker 1: The Colts only two games behind the number seven seed
Speaker 1: in the a f C playoff race, so plenty to
Speaker 1: spoil for them. If Andy wants to keep pace with
Speaker 1: the pack, they have to find a way to put
Speaker 1: points on the board versus Pittsburgh. Wow. Really, and for
Speaker 1: a drum to make a noise, you have to hit
Speaker 1: it first, right, game preview guy. The point is the
Speaker 1: Colts have six losses seventeen or fewer points in each,
Speaker 1: including last week. Ryan gets himself off and he's gonna
Speaker 1: take a sack all the way back to the nineteen
Speaker 1: yard Steelers defense gave up a fat thirty seven points.
Speaker 1: It was to the Bengals and Joe Burrow. Though they
Speaker 1: allowed Joe b to throw four TV passes three D
Speaker 1: fifty five yards, their season numbers against the pass are
Speaker 1: not great either. Steelers gave up a hundred and forty
Speaker 1: eight yards to Cincinnati's w R one T Higgins. So
Speaker 1: can Matt Ryan and Michael Pittman come close to something
Speaker 1: like that? Ryan against the top tier secondary last week
Speaker 1: two D thirteen yards under seven yards per attempt rating
Speaker 1: under ninety no t ds flies at left side to
Speaker 1: checks and he married as he fought the fall. Brian
Speaker 1: does average over two hundred and seventy yards a game
Speaker 1: through the air. That's top ten, so their offense can
Speaker 1: go big at times through the skies. Ryan fakes the handoff,
Speaker 1: throws right side to Pittman across the five and one
Speaker 1: just but they go a lot. He's got it. Pittman
Speaker 1: would have to play way over his two head to
Speaker 1: come close to Higgins production. Six catches seventy five yards
Speaker 1: in week eleven, averages sixty seven for the year, so
Speaker 1: that was an above average game for him. Pitches Man,
Speaker 1: Petman instrud in a in a Philadelphia territory. Colts, of course,
Speaker 1: will hit Pittsburgh with plenty of Jonathan Taylor. He was
Speaker 1: held under four yards per carry versus Philadelphia. Finally he's
Speaker 1: dropped at the thirty yard line. He is a four
Speaker 1: point six guy. Though on the year. Steelers defensive strength
Speaker 1: is stop being ball carriers. One of a few teams
Speaker 1: holding runners to four a run or below. Ryan is
Speaker 1: gonna lose three yard loss out of the Dirty seven.
Speaker 1: From a production standpoint, these teams are a lot alike.
Speaker 1: Colts defense is even tougher on runners than Pittsburgh, holding
Speaker 1: them to just three point eight per They had trouble
Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts in week eleven, but held Philadelphia's running
Speaker 1: backs under four A carry going nowhere for a mile
Speaker 1: sand there's no game on the play Nausea, Harris, you're up.
Speaker 1: Week ten twenty carries ninety nine yards five a run.
Speaker 1: Week eleven twenty carries ninety yards four point five a
Speaker 1: run two t d s run by Nagy Harris, Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: we may have a run game here. His prowess along
Speaker 1: the ground set can you pick it up? Kid's body
Speaker 1: of work still isn't great, but he comes in on
Speaker 1: the heels of a two hundred and sixty five yard outing.
Speaker 1: No picks a touchdown. Eighty five point nine rating for
Speaker 1: a guy holding a seventy one rating for the year.
Speaker 1: Oh there's a man Cults secondary he faces hasn't played
Speaker 1: qubs tough triple digit rating given up to Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: has their season rating over ninety five. Now, completion percentage
Speaker 1: allowed still in the high sixties. Down field fires to
Speaker 1: strike do writer Indie's pass rush could rattle pick it
Speaker 1: unique and gock Way picked up one and a half
Speaker 1: sacks last week six and a half for him. Now
Speaker 1: team has three gents with four or more. It's a
Speaker 1: cult script without it's a sack for the cult by
Speaker 1: Unique in Gockway. Second let six votes for the Steelers
Speaker 1: to win four, taking Saturday and the Colts on our
Speaker 1: prediction panel. The Cleveland Grounds are at home this week,
Speaker 1: taking on the rest in Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are
Speaker 1: hoping their European vacation leads to a better follow up
Speaker 1: than the one we saw on the big screen back
Speaker 1: in the day. It's Julio at five touch Stoppa Bay.
Speaker 1: You can look at this man chip two ways. Browns
Speaker 1: are three and seven and face a Bucks team alone.
Speaker 1: In first it's week twelve. Tom Brady is forty five
Speaker 1: and he only has two I N T s while
Speaker 1: averaging two eight yards passing per game. That's the chalk preview.
Speaker 1: Nicely black Brady looks down. Brady throws todev. It's a
Speaker 1: card ball. Great throw by Brady. You can also look
Speaker 1: at this as a three win team versus a five
Speaker 1: win team, the Browns taking on a squad twenty seven
Speaker 1: and points per game in the red zone. The third
Speaker 1: and four for TV twelve throws it incomplete, he turns inside,
Speaker 1: Tom throws it outside. But it's just been a little
Speaker 1: bit off. Bucks fans praying to buy. Is the start
Speaker 1: of their new year. Now they take on a team
Speaker 1: with Butters from South Park at quarterback. This is supposed
Speaker 1: to be Jacoby Brissett's last go round as Kenny's replacement.
Speaker 1: That kind of makes him dangerous. Not sure what he
Speaker 1: has to lose, and he comes in off a game
Speaker 1: where he threw for over three hundred yards, three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks are rating over one fifteen. He's going play
Speaker 1: this game with Eminem's first album playing in his earbuds,
Speaker 1: track fifteen four taking a shot down the Brissette only
Speaker 1: got sacked once in Week eleven. Will he have that
Speaker 1: much time against Tampa Bay's pass rush. Cleveland's line has
Speaker 1: given up a twenty nine percent pressure rate, which is
Speaker 1: on the high side. The Bucks are a sack happy
Speaker 1: team sport one of the highest sacked totals in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, Tampa Bay has generated many of
Speaker 1: their sacks via the blitz. They are a plus thirty
Speaker 1: percent blitz team, which means they're on the high side
Speaker 1: there Rossette versus the Blitz triple digit rating, eight touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one I n T look, it's gone put the touchdown.
Speaker 1: Prosset through forty one times last week, lead target Amari
Speaker 1: Cooper that standard twelve looks versus the Bills eight catches,
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirteen yards, two scores upper, and he's
Speaker 1: got it for his second touchdown. Cooper and Brissette now
Speaker 1: face a defense that's held qbs to a low nineties rating,
Speaker 1: and they've held wide receivers under a ninety rating. He
Speaker 1: looks for Matt tab Interpret Dean won That war Bucks
Speaker 1: past defensive blind spot running backs and tight ends have
Speaker 1: allowed a plus one hundred rate to both those positions.
Speaker 1: Stopping running backs along the ground obviously a key focus
Speaker 1: for Tampa Bay's defense as well. Nick Chubb, the true
Speaker 1: star of the Brown's offense. There's a handoff to Chubb,
Speaker 1: a conversion on third down and six, and a carry
Speaker 1: of twenty one. Chubb, though late a dud along the
Speaker 1: ground last week fourteen carries one point for a run.
Speaker 1: He seems to be in a good spot to rebound.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay allowing four point five yards per carry to
Speaker 1: running backs specifically, he's got another bigger run first. As
Speaker 1: much star power as Tampa Bay has in its offensive
Speaker 1: passing game, they look so much better when they get
Speaker 1: something from their run game, like they did versus Seattle.
Speaker 1: For Shod White went for a hundred and five yards
Speaker 1: and four point seven to carry Patience and his friend
Speaker 1: one man to beating his ships some town. He just
Speaker 1: through chicks out of the club. Tampa Bay has a
Speaker 1: tendency to bail on its ground game if it's not
Speaker 1: working early. They could get it going against Cleveland unless
Speaker 1: they correct some run d deficiencies. They gave up five
Speaker 1: point to a carry to the Bills four point eight
Speaker 1: to Devin Singletary Singletary utmore. If White or for Net
Speaker 1: can put Cleveland's defense on its heels, obviously, that makes
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Chris Godwin and Mike Evans even tougher to
Speaker 1: deal with. The Trio isn't rocking it like Nirvana or
Speaker 1: the Beasties, But the Brown secondary isn't taking on the
Speaker 1: Hanson Brothers either. It's the other way and it's a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Chris god what about Miles Garrett's chances of disrupting Grady's
Speaker 1: flow first Grady has taken very few sacks, his face,
Speaker 1: the least pressure of anyone in the league, all kinds
Speaker 1: of time, and it finally finds tight fire. The Cannons
Speaker 1: wants the dog Pound to know this is not because
Speaker 1: they have a good old line in some circles. Those
Speaker 1: stats are due to Brady throwing the ball as quick
Speaker 1: as he can after the snap. So how quick can
Speaker 1: Garrett get there? He picked up a sack last week,
Speaker 1: has one plus and four of his last five. Garrett
Speaker 1: is coming balls down Biles Garrett with the sack, the
Speaker 1: brown sack Josh Allen twice would only hit him four times.
Speaker 1: In turn, they gave up a hundred plus rating to him.
Speaker 1: No picks and he's got Gay Davis her a catch,
Speaker 1: thinking everyone would go bucks Not so fast, Daniel Jeremiah
Speaker 1: calling for a Cleveland upset. The other nine votes all going.
