Mostly I learned that my hot 0:00:23.899 --> 0:00:27.539 streak with making the picks it's continuing. Let's take a look. 0:00:27.659 --> 0:00:29.499 I'm just gonna I just can't wait to see it. 0:00:29.539 --> 0:00:30.819 I want to suck right now. 0:00:30.899 --> 0:00:33.219 Alight there, we don't really care how you're a week with. 0:00:34.339 --> 0:00:38.179 Let's look at Greg's making the face and in the 0:00:38.299 --> 0:00:42.499 crown as Greg goes thirteen and three, Cynthia twelve and four, 0:00:42.899 --> 0:00:45.779 and I, yeah, I dropped the game eleven and five, 0:00:45.979 --> 0:00:47.419 so we're trying to make a comeback. 0:00:47.419 --> 0:00:50.219 Cynthia, I just made him to roll the dice like that. 0:00:50.859 --> 0:00:52.619 I'm just saying, it's like, oh, let's talk about how 0:00:52.659 --> 0:00:54.899 happy we are. This is what makes me happy. Look 0:00:54.939 --> 0:00:56.739 at this, and there's like gonna be a spot in 0:00:56.739 --> 0:00:58.539 my head that a crown is making an. 0:00:58.739 --> 0:01:01.739 Okay, all right, so we're gonna get a new chapter here. 0:01:01.939 --> 0:01:04.179 Speaking on rivalries is Greg Greg makes one with us 0:01:04.459 --> 0:01:07.859 Burrow Mahomes rivalry this weekend. Joe's one of the only 0:01:07.899 --> 0:01:10.579 humans on earth to a vested Patrick Mahomes consistently. 0:01:10.739 --> 0:01:12.899 He started his career three and zero against him. 0:01:13.139 --> 0:01:17.859 At one point, folks were even calling Arrowhead Burrowhead stations. However, 0:01:18.059 --> 0:01:20.859 the last time they met, the nickname did not work 0:01:20.899 --> 0:01:21.899 out case. 0:01:22.019 --> 0:01:23.659 We'll go on to beat the Eagles in the Super 0:01:23.659 --> 0:01:24.259 Bowl that year. 0:01:24.299 --> 0:01:26.979 Now we're getting the next edition of Burrow Mahomes since 0:01:27.019 --> 0:01:29.339 he trying to avoid yet another zero to two start 0:01:29.539 --> 0:01:32.419 after losing to the Patriots in Week one, Greg, do 0:01:32.459 --> 0:01:34.179 they bounce back against the Champs? 0:01:34.219 --> 0:01:36.299 I mean, in a manner speaking, yes, they play better, 0:01:36.339 --> 0:01:38.379 but they still lose. That's what matters to them. They 0:01:38.379 --> 0:01:41.539 lose by three, twenty seven, twenty four, so a better effort, 0:01:41.699 --> 0:01:44.859 but they're still going against Patrick Mahomes, who somehow keeps 0:01:44.899 --> 0:01:47.899 getting better. How can the greatest quarterback of all time 0:01:48.339 --> 0:01:51.859 through his six seven seasons starting get better. It's because 0:01:51.899 --> 0:01:54.619 of his pocket movement. Now, I mean he always was 0:01:54.699 --> 0:01:57.299 great at this, but now his feel of how to 0:01:57.339 --> 0:02:00.379 avoid that first rusher, stay in the pocket and make 0:02:00.419 --> 0:02:03.779 a great throw to me is getting to Tom Brady level. 0:02:03.859 --> 0:02:05.779 So of course, yeah, he can make all the crazy 0:02:05.899 --> 0:02:07.899 arm angles and the arm strength and all of that, 0:02:08.219 --> 0:02:10.699 but his way to stay in the pocket and avoid 0:02:10.779 --> 0:02:12.979 rushers to me is better than it's ever been. And 0:02:13.019 --> 0:02:15.979 when he gets, you know, a ball batted back in 0:02:16.019 --> 0:02:17.739 his face, he can make a big play like that. 0:02:17.739 --> 0:02:20.819 That's just outrageous too. So it's it's everything that you want. 0:02:20.859 --> 0:02:24.099 I think the Bengals defense comes out and makes him 0:02:24.419 --> 0:02:26.779 work for it. But twenty seven to twenty four, you 0:02:26.859 --> 0:02:27.379 just did an. 0:02:27.419 --> 0:02:29.539 Entire thing on Patrick Mahomes and then you said it's 0:02:29.539 --> 0:02:30.219 gonna be a close cheam. 0:02:30.219 --> 0:02:31.659 You're like, what the Bengals are gonna do better? 0:02:31.859 --> 0:02:34.579 And I agree in one particular area, how are my score? 0:02:34.579 --> 0:02:38.259 Twenty seven nineteen means Patrick Mahomes will absolutely reign supreme. 0:02:38.299 --> 0:02:39.939 But here's the thing we're not going to see this weekend. 0:02:40.179 --> 0:02:41.339 They gave Patrick. 0:02:40.979 --> 0:02:42.779 Mahomes single high safety covers. 0:02:42.819 --> 0:02:45.219 What are you doing? Fourteen times? 0:02:45.299 --> 0:02:47.579 Guess how many he completed. The answer is twelve for 0:02:47.619 --> 0:02:50.099 one hundred and fifty one hers. I just wanted to 0:02:50.099 --> 0:02:52.059 put it on your screen because the chances of lou 0:02:52.059 --> 0:02:55.179 Anarumo rolling out with single high are like almost nothing, 0:02:55.259 --> 0:02:58.059 like very close to zero. So let's just watch and 0:02:58.059 --> 0:03:01.059 behold the beauty of the yack that can be earned 0:03:01.219 --> 0:03:04.979 when you give Patrick Mahomes single high cut Rich say, 0:03:05.019 --> 0:03:08.779 she writes seventy like seventy nine of his whatever hundred 0:03:08.859 --> 0:03:11.539 yards were all, yeah, it was gorgeous. 0:03:12.059 --> 0:03:13.139 We're not gonna see it this week. 0:03:13.259 --> 0:03:16.619 Yes, gorgeous for Chiefs fans especially, But I think things 0:03:16.619 --> 0:03:20.179 were especially bad for fans of the Cincinnati Bengals in 0:03:20.339 --> 0:03:22.739 Week one against the New England Patriots, where. 0:03:22.819 --> 0:03:23.819 It did not go well. 0:03:23.899 --> 0:03:26.859 I think things will go significantly better, but I still 0:03:26.859 --> 0:03:28.179 have a one point loss for. 0:03:28.139 --> 0:03:30.299 The Cincinnati Bengals. But hey, Tanna. 0:03:30.139 --> 0:03:32.499 Hudson is not gonna have the ball punched out on 0:03:32.539 --> 0:03:34.619 the one inch line by Kyle Dugger. 0:03:34.739 --> 0:03:35.499 That doesn't happen. 0:03:35.659 --> 0:03:38.459 The game is entirely different the play before that, Mike 0:03:38.499 --> 0:03:41.379 Getsicki had a touchdown bounce out of his hands when 0:03:41.419 --> 0:03:43.819 he hit the ground in the corner of the end zone. 0:03:43.859 --> 0:03:46.819 And then there's special team's mistakes where the ball gets 0:03:46.859 --> 0:03:50.259 coughed up. The Patriots take over at the twenty five 0:03:50.339 --> 0:03:53.019 yard line. All of these things happened, we would feel 0:03:53.139 --> 0:03:56.339 so much different about Joe Burrow the Cincinnati Bengals have 0:03:56.459 --> 0:03:58.979 they not happened, But we still feel the way we 0:03:59.019 --> 0:04:00.299 do about the Kansas City Chiefs. 0:04:00.299 --> 0:04:01.979 That's why it is a meme alert. 0:04:02.179 --> 0:04:05.779 Come get us Cincinnati Bengals, who have started back to 0:04:05.859 --> 0:04:07.659 back seasons according to this. 0:04:07.899 --> 0:04:09.539 Yeah, little more than that one and eight. 0:04:09.819 --> 0:04:11.819 Yeah, it's not good. It's not good. Earth. 0:04:11.939 --> 0:04:15.139 And So, while Mahomes and Burrow renegotiate their rivalry, Dak 0:04:15.179 --> 0:04:18.059 Prescott just finished with his negotiation with the Cowboys, then 0:04:18.059 --> 0:04:19.819 stepped out in the field took care of business. Last 0:04:19.819 --> 0:04:22.259 weekend in Cleveland, he threw for one seventy nine and 0:04:22.259 --> 0:04:26.739 a touchdown. Dallas rolled thirty three seventeen over the Browns 0:04:26.859 --> 0:04:29.219 in the opener of The Cowboys now play host to 0:04:29.299 --> 0:04:33.019 the Saints Sunday. They've won sixteen straight at home New Orleans, 0:04:33.019 --> 0:04:36.579 coming off of forty seven to ten destruction. 0:04:36.059 --> 0:04:36.899 Of the Panthers. 0:04:37.299 --> 0:04:40.219 Does they do they carry the momentum Cynthia in. 0:04:40.699 --> 0:04:42.139 And beat the Dallas Cowboys. 0:04:42.219 --> 0:04:44.339 No Saints, No Dallas. 0:04:44.459 --> 0:04:47.859 Dallas's momentum reigned supremier. What we don't know about momentum. 0:04:47.899 --> 0:04:51.019 Ask Patrick about that later. Here twenty five to twenty one, 0:04:51.139 --> 0:04:53.499 Dallas wins this game. We're gonna learn a little something 0:04:53.539 --> 0:04:55.899 both about the Saints offense, which we got kind of 0:04:56.019 --> 0:04:58.619 not great data on, and also the Cowboys defense, not 0:04:58.699 --> 0:05:00.699 great data on them as well. But I want to 0:05:00.739 --> 0:05:04.659 point something out. Derek Carr, congratulations, my friend. He had 0:05:04.699 --> 0:05:08.859 exactly three passes under pressure completed, all three of them. 0:05:08.899 --> 0:05:10.659 One was a quick pressure, by the way, one was 0:05:10.699 --> 0:05:12.859 a touchdown. It was amazing. Do you know what his 0:05:12.939 --> 0:05:16.419 passer rating was on under pressure passes last week? 0:05:16.579 --> 0:05:18.819 One fifty eight point three perfec's pop perfect. 0:05:19.139 --> 0:05:21.099 Not gonna happen this week, but I wanted to point 0:05:21.139 --> 0:05:23.659 that out because it was fun. I liked his swagger. 0:05:23.779 --> 0:05:26.179 The whole thing was great. Not gonna happen. We're gonna 0:05:26.219 --> 0:05:28.819 actually see who both of these offense and defense, and 0:05:28.859 --> 0:05:31.259 they have new coordinators, so we'll get actual data this 0:05:31.299 --> 0:05:33.219 week on them. But fun to look back at those 0:05:33.259 --> 0:05:33.899 three passes. 0:05:34.139 --> 0:05:36.099 Yeah, I look at their offensive line. The Saints they 0:05:36.099 --> 0:05:38.179 played so well, Like will they be able to protect car? 0:05:38.259 --> 0:05:41.099 I don't know, but I trust the Saints defense this week. 0:05:41.139 --> 0:05:42.859 That's why I got it close again. I keep talking 0:05:42.859 --> 0:05:45.419 about the team I predict to lose, but Cowboys twenty 0:05:45.659 --> 0:05:49.219 Saints seventeen. This Saints defense came to play, and yes, 0:05:49.259 --> 0:05:51.539 it's gonna be a much tougher matchup, but this is 0:05:51.579 --> 0:05:54.859 a veteran crew. I'd love to know how healthy their 0:05:54.899 --> 0:05:58.579 secondary is. But Tyron Matthew practice on Thursday, and that's 0:05:58.619 --> 0:06:01.539 a good sign for them. Their pass rush is going 0:06:01.579 --> 0:06:03.499 to be better this year with Chase Young who had 0:06:03.539 --> 0:06:06.659 a great first week, Alonte Taylor playing great in coverage. 0:06:06.659 --> 0:06:09.179 They're also using him as a blitzer. It is a 0:06:09.259 --> 0:06:10.779 veteran he has three. 0:06:10.659 --> 0:06:13.499 Defense He's on pace for fifty six sss. 0:06:13.539 --> 0:06:14.899 It's ridiculous time. 0:06:14.779 --> 0:06:17.699 For the league lead in sacks and he's a defensive back. 0:06:17.779 --> 0:06:20.419 It's one of the defenses that's great on every level. 0:06:20.459 --> 0:06:22.339 So I feel bad for Dak Prescott. I think he's 0:06:22.339 --> 0:06:24.139 having to play two of the best defenses in the 0:06:24.179 --> 0:06:26.619 league back to back Browns and Saints. So the Saints 0:06:26.819 --> 0:06:28.899 keep it closest is one of my favorite picks of 0:06:28.939 --> 0:06:30.939 the week. And it's a close game. 0:06:30.819 --> 0:06:31.139 All right. 0:06:31.339 --> 0:06:33.299 One of the things that people could feel feel bad 0:06:33.339 --> 0:06:36.059 from Dak Prescott about was just how easy the Packers 0:06:36.139 --> 0:06:38.619 ran over the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs. A real 0:06:38.739 --> 0:06:41.179 need at linebacker, and a lot of that was because 0:06:41.179 --> 0:06:45.059 in the second preseason game, the Marveon Overshawn they drafted 0:06:45.099 --> 0:06:46.739 him out of Texas, believed he was gonna do a. 0:06:46.699 --> 0:06:47.619 Lot toward his acl. 0:06:47.819 --> 0:06:50.579 Well, he comes out in the opener and he's spectacular. 0:06:51.019 --> 0:06:54.459 He only had one actual pass rush, but he had 0:06:54.539 --> 0:06:58.139 multiple pressures because he was spying Deshaun Watson and he 0:06:58.299 --> 0:07:01.019 was so fast that he got to Deshaun Watson before 0:07:01.019 --> 0:07:03.299 he crossed a lot of scrimmage, so he gets pressure 0:07:03.539 --> 0:07:04.899 and sacks on those plays. 0:07:05.019 --> 0:07:06.939 He was incredible in the middle of the field. 0:07:07.379 --> 0:07:09.539 I think it's gonna make Dallas' defense in the Mike 0:07:09.619 --> 0:07:12.699 Zimmer defense, a whole lot better coming into. 0:07:12.539 --> 0:07:14.899 Twenty twenty four. So that's why I've got a twenty 0:07:14.899 --> 0:07:17.459 six to twenty two win for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:07:17.659 --> 0:07:20.379 We're all on board, and if if we get memed 0:07:20.379 --> 0:07:22.979 by folks in New Orleans, it means that they've won 0:07:23.059 --> 0:07:23.379 the team. 0:07:23.419 --> 0:07:25.499 I'm a fan, picked you all the cover. We meme 0:07:25.579 --> 0:07:26.259 us for that too. 0:07:26.459 --> 0:07:28.659 Yeah, we believe, and we know that you want to 0:07:28.699 --> 0:07:31.939 believe as well. We got another monster matchup this weekend, 0:07:32.219 --> 0:07:33.419 the Bucks and the Lions. 0:07:33.579 --> 0:07:36.579 These teams met last year's NFC Divisional round. Jared Goff 0:07:38.579 --> 0:07:40.899 toss two touchdowns, Baker threw a few. 0:07:40.699 --> 0:07:44.579 Picks, and Cynthia's Lions came out on top thirty one 0:07:44.699 --> 0:07:47.819 to twenty three. Baker is coming off of four touchdown 0:07:47.859 --> 0:07:50.579 performance of his own last week against Washington, the Lions 0:07:50.579 --> 0:07:53.099 squeaking one out against the Rams. How do you feel 0:07:53.299 --> 0:07:55.179 about your Lions in this game, Cynthia? 0:07:55.699 --> 0:07:57.899 I mean, why are we going through and having the 0:07:57.899 --> 0:08:00.859 redo of the playoffs again in exact same order. It 0:08:00.979 --> 0:08:03.979 just doesn't necessarily feel fair. But I think they're gonna 0:08:03.979 --> 0:08:06.139 win one again. It's gonna be closer, though I have 0:08:06.259 --> 0:08:11.859 twenty far ferocious twenty seven to twenty one. 0:08:13.139 --> 0:08:14.139 Do it again? Can you do that? 0:08:14.619 --> 0:08:15.619 Give us the limelight again? 0:08:17.419 --> 0:08:18.459 Yeah, it's not like. 0:08:18.459 --> 0:08:19.339 A really hungry line. 0:08:19.339 --> 0:08:21.499 Maybe need to change my score a little bit, but 0:08:21.499 --> 0:08:24.819 I'm looking at the opportunity here for a guy who 0:08:24.859 --> 0:08:28.259 we saw the electric coach said that he knows how 0:08:28.259 --> 0:08:29.739 to handle success. 0:08:29.779 --> 0:08:31.899 He knows that it's going to be okay. Well, you 0:08:31.899 --> 0:08:34.179 know what, we also know that Jamis and Williams is 0:08:34.179 --> 0:08:34.779 going to be Okay. 0:08:34.939 --> 0:08:37.619 He watched Xavier Worthy run the football on Thursday end 0:08:37.619 --> 0:08:39.499 and they're like, hey, you know what, I see your 0:08:39.619 --> 0:08:41.979 Xavier Worthy, and I'm gonna give you Jamison Williams. And 0:08:42.019 --> 0:08:44.339 I'm actually going to have him more run faster miles 0:08:44.339 --> 0:08:48.099 per hour than Xavier Worthy in this one particular week, 0:08:48.099 --> 0:08:50.819 which is a highly scientific study over twenty one miles 0:08:50.819 --> 0:08:53.099 an hour. Look, I'm just saying he's arrived. He should 0:08:53.099 --> 0:08:55.539 be talked in that speedy ilk. Perhaps the Lions have 0:08:55.579 --> 0:08:56.339 found something here. 0:08:56.499 --> 0:08:58.579 He's the man. And if when you watch the tape 0:08:58.619 --> 0:09:00.939 on him, he gets out and blacks too even for 0:09:00.979 --> 0:09:02.899 a small guy like as a receiver, he blocks you 0:09:02.899 --> 0:09:05.219 know who else blacks well, Tristan Wurfs. I'm going to 0:09:05.299 --> 0:09:08.659 be watching this Tristan wors versus Aiden Hutchinson matchup. I 0:09:08.699 --> 0:09:11.059 have the Lions winning this game thirty to twenty four. 0:09:12.019 --> 0:09:14.019 But one of the reasons I have the Bucks scoring 0:09:14.139 --> 0:09:16.499 so many points in this game and keeping it close 0:09:16.579 --> 0:09:19.219 enough is because they have a great offensive line and 0:09:19.259 --> 0:09:23.179 a great left tackle in Tristan Worse. Aiden Hudginson, one 0:09:23.179 --> 0:09:25.219 of the best pass rushers in the league coming off 0:09:25.459 --> 0:09:28.419 just an absolutely fantastic performance. He actually did quite well 0:09:28.459 --> 0:09:31.979 against worse in the playoff game in this matchup a 0:09:32.059 --> 0:09:34.699 year ago, and yet I just think it's gonna be 0:09:34.739 --> 0:09:37.099 top notch football. These are two teams that have a 0:09:37.139 --> 0:09:39.339 lot of continuity. I think, two of the best teams 0:09:39.379 --> 0:09:41.659 in the NFC. At first, I had the Lions covering 0:09:41.779 --> 0:09:44.219 and I thought, you know, that's disrespectful. This Bucks team 0:09:44.259 --> 0:09:46.339 looked awesome a week ago. I think it's back and 0:09:46.379 --> 0:09:48.019 forth a lot of points in this game. 0:09:48.179 --> 0:09:50.779 My belief has shifted as well because coming in even 0:09:50.779 --> 0:09:53.739 when we had our meeting today, guys, I had the 0:09:53.779 --> 0:09:57.019 Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning this game, but then I realized, no, 0:09:57.179 --> 0:10:00.819 Antoine Winfield, Junior. It's just so tough because Todd Bowles's 0:10:00.819 --> 0:10:03.979 defense was a good reason that I made this pick originally, 0:10:04.259 --> 0:10:06.459 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and what they were able to do, 0:10:06.579 --> 0:10:09.219 especially in the run game, because Detroit's run game was 0:10:09.259 --> 0:10:12.379 so good down the stretch against the Los Angeles Rams. 0:10:12.499 --> 0:10:16.179 But it's hard to just wipe away one of the 0:10:16.219 --> 0:10:18.779 best safeties in the entire NFL. And the fact that 0:10:18.819 --> 0:10:22.419 he's out now, potentially for multiple weeks, it caused me 0:10:22.459 --> 0:10:24.979 to reconsider and it's just tough to take a team 0:10:24.979 --> 0:10:27.899 that lost to this team in the playoffs back in 0:10:28.019 --> 0:10:30.979 January to come in and get an upset in Detroit. Well, 0:10:31.579 --> 0:10:33.579 I mean, how disappointed can we really be? 0:10:33.659 --> 0:10:35.219 We're all wanting to pick up a game on you. 0:10:35.539 --> 0:10:36.619 I didn't see that. 0:10:36.819 --> 0:10:39.099 Greg is ruth almost as ruthless as are. 0:10:39.539 --> 0:10:42.259 Also said that talks smacked to the viewers. Oh yeah, 0:10:42.539 --> 0:10:43.299 well yeah. 0:10:43.219 --> 0:10:45.979 Like, okay, okay, he's unruly. 0:10:46.059 --> 0:10:49.219 Coming up, we got more unruly Greg picking games, including 0:10:49.899 --> 0:10:53.259 Sunday nighter between CJ. Stroud and Caleb Williams. Are the 0:10:53.339 --> 0:10:56.259 Bears ever going to score an offensive touchdown? Find out 0:10:56.259 --> 0:10:59.179 if we think so? Next on game debut, it is 0:10:59.259 --> 0:11:02.219 time from the Drive to Excellence presented by Mercedes Bens 0:11:02.339 --> 0:11:05.739 Bears Texans. On Sunday in h down, we got this 0:11:05.859 --> 0:11:08.339 year's top pick in Caleb Williams taking on last year's 0:11:08.379 --> 0:11:09.299 Rookie of the Year in CJ. 0:11:09.419 --> 0:11:12.059 Stroud. How do you see this quarterback battle going on 0:11:12.139 --> 0:11:12.579 Sunday night? 0:11:12.739 --> 0:11:14.059 I think it's gonna be a fun one. I think 0:11:14.099 --> 0:11:17.139 the Texans win twenty seven twenty. Both quarterbacks play well. 0:11:17.219 --> 0:11:19.819 Caleb Williams bounces back and gets a couple of touchdowns, 0:11:19.859 --> 0:11:22.379 but he did struggle a week ago. What concerned me 0:11:22.699 --> 0:11:26.379 most were the missthrows when he was protected. He was 0:11:26.539 --> 0:11:28.899 three of thirteen when he had over two and a 0:11:28.939 --> 0:11:31.619 half seconds to throw, and so sometimes he saw open 0:11:31.699 --> 0:11:34.939 receivers and he didn't hit him, and it's him figuring out. 0:11:34.979 --> 0:11:37.619 I think at the pro level, when do I get 0:11:37.739 --> 0:11:39.259 rid of the ball on time? That's what we want 0:11:39.299 --> 0:11:41.099 to do more often, and when do I just hold 0:11:41.139 --> 0:11:43.459 on to it and try to make a play. The 0:11:43.699 --> 0:11:47.579 interior pressure was a lot last week from the Tennessee Titans, 0:11:47.619 --> 0:11:50.739 and so the Bears offensive line needs to be better 0:11:50.859 --> 0:11:53.139 in front of Caleb Williams so that he can make 0:11:53.179 --> 0:11:54.699 more places. I think he does this week, but it's 0:11:54.739 --> 0:11:55.139 not enough. 0:11:55.539 --> 0:11:57.379 Yeah, I mean it was a great start and that 0:11:57.579 --> 0:12:00.779 defense was absolutely electric. So I'm giving the Bears defensive 0:12:00.859 --> 0:12:03.419 respect here too. With my model, I have twenty five 0:12:03.539 --> 0:12:06.379 to twenty as my final score. Houston takes this one 0:12:06.699 --> 0:12:10.299 because CJ. Stroud has such varying results against pressure. He 0:12:10.379 --> 0:12:12.419 can handle a little bit of volatility. So he got 0:12:12.499 --> 0:12:15.499 sacked four times, but he also completed seven of nine 0:12:15.659 --> 0:12:18.699 under pressure for over one hundred yards, so we know 0:12:18.899 --> 0:12:21.379 that he has this opportunity to kind of take the 0:12:21.459 --> 0:12:24.539 next play, even after being pressured, and make it into something. 0:12:24.779 --> 0:12:26.619 But the other thing that was really nice was Joe 0:12:26.699 --> 0:12:29.419 Mixon really showed up and that helps mitigate some of 0:12:29.459 --> 0:12:31.979 this volatility. The best formula to win is to have 0:12:32.139 --> 0:12:34.699 a strong defense and a strong run game. So the 0:12:34.819 --> 0:12:37.899 advantage here goes to the Texans on both of those regards. 0:12:38.099 --> 0:12:39.779 I agree, I've also got a Texans win. 0:12:40.059 --> 0:12:41.179 Are we all memes so far? 0:12:41.299 --> 0:12:42.819 Yeah, we're all memes. This is a meme. 0:12:42.859 --> 0:12:45.779 Addition, were the same person, I promise turning it to. 0:12:45.819 --> 0:12:47.339 Greg, it'd be a great looking person. 0:12:47.859 --> 0:12:50.219 We're gonna separate in just a bit. 0:12:50.299 --> 0:12:53.819 But speaking of separation, Stefan Diggs got all of his targets. 0:12:53.899 --> 0:12:56.979 All six of his targets from CJ. Stroud were within 0:12:57.099 --> 0:12:59.259 ten are yards. He had two touchdowns out of that. 0:12:59.299 --> 0:13:01.699 I'm not saying all steph out Diggs is old and 0:13:01.819 --> 0:13:04.579 bad now, but I think his ability to read the 0:13:04.659 --> 0:13:08.779 zones and find the gaps and be kind of possession. 0:13:08.339 --> 0:13:10.459 Is not a bad word in this instance. 0:13:10.699 --> 0:13:12.859 While Nico Collins and Tank Dell can be on the 0:13:12.899 --> 0:13:17.139 outside doing all those explosive things, Stefan Diggs provides an 0:13:17.139 --> 0:13:19.459 opportunity to gets that Barry Good Bears defense, who I 0:13:19.539 --> 0:13:22.619 do think keeps it close. But the Texans just really 0:13:22.659 --> 0:13:25.819 good right now again, meme away as Caleb and CJ 0:13:26.099 --> 0:13:30.259 former number one overall as well as number two overall picks. 0:13:30.659 --> 0:13:34.219 What about a number three overall pick? That's ballin' right now? 0:13:34.459 --> 0:13:36.939 Sam Donald Gregg, well, what about him? 0:13:37.619 --> 0:13:40.819 Alan is now in the Donald hive, buzzin' in Greg's 0:13:40.859 --> 0:13:41.499 ear right now? 0:13:41.939 --> 0:13:44.219 So far enough after what he did against the Giants? 0:13:44.259 --> 0:13:46.579 Will they be able to slow down the forty nine 0:13:46.619 --> 0:13:49.299 ers juggernaut Sunday though, Cynthia, how slow slows? 0:13:49.339 --> 0:13:52.299 I have kind of a significant San Francisco wins eight 0:13:52.419 --> 0:13:55.539 to nineteen. I love Sam Darnald. I feel bad I 0:13:55.619 --> 0:13:58.619 just took all the air. I deflated the Sam Donald balloon. 0:13:58.699 --> 0:13:59.139 I'm sorry. 0:13:59.219 --> 0:14:01.139 I still love him, but I want to talk about 0:14:01.139 --> 0:14:01.659 the lying lie. 0:14:01.699 --> 0:14:02.139 Who lies? 0:14:02.219 --> 0:14:05.619 That is the coach of San Francisco forty nine ers. 0:14:05.619 --> 0:14:08.619 Oh man, it is to make every running back. He 0:14:08.779 --> 0:14:11.139 is the mightest touch for running backs. We thought it 0:14:11.139 --> 0:14:14.259 was gonna be Christian McCaffrey until literally the last minute 0:14:14.259 --> 0:14:17.179 before they had to tell us who's inactive and who's active. 0:14:17.419 --> 0:14:19.179 But you know what, you know, it didn't matter who 0:14:19.259 --> 0:14:21.539 was running the ball because Jordan Mason had just an 0:14:21.619 --> 0:14:24.619 electric day. He made the Jets defense look like they 0:14:24.659 --> 0:14:27.219 had never played run defense before. This was just such 0:14:27.339 --> 0:14:31.379 a really really clinic on how to all the different 0:14:31.379 --> 0:14:31.899 types of runs. 0:14:31.939 --> 0:14:32.539 It wasn't even just. 0:14:32.739 --> 0:14:34.699 One run where they were exploiting. It was kind of 0:14:34.819 --> 0:14:38.579 all of the entire menu of runs was available to them. So, 0:14:38.979 --> 0:14:41.219 you know, look, Kyle Shannan doesn't know us anything. So 0:14:41.299 --> 0:14:42.619 it's a joke when I call him a lying liar 0:14:42.659 --> 0:14:45.419 who lies, but he never tells us anything ahead of time. 0:14:45.539 --> 0:14:48.059 So the liang liar who lies strikes again, and yet 0:14:48.219 --> 0:14:49.979 might's touched on the running back one time. 0:14:49.979 --> 0:14:51.979 My favorite Kyle Shanahan is he like, I don't know 0:14:52.019 --> 0:14:53.539 if any of us are going to be here Sunday, 0:14:53.739 --> 0:14:55.059 but I have an idea. 0:14:54.939 --> 0:14:57.259 It doesn't know. That's actually not, that's true. 0:14:57.739 --> 0:14:58.859 One person who will be there. 0:14:59.019 --> 0:15:01.979 Because we thought Jordan Mason played great, the defense played great, 0:15:02.139 --> 0:15:05.739 but eighteen eighteen forty nine ers points on that win 0:15:06.059 --> 0:15:08.699 against the Jets came off of the foot of Jake 0:15:08.859 --> 0:15:12.019 Moody six field goals, six for six for. 0:15:12.139 --> 0:15:15.779 Jake Moody, which I think is such a weapon. And 0:15:15.939 --> 0:15:17.979 now this era of the. 0:15:19.499 --> 0:15:22.499 Kickoff changes that we've had the dynamic kickoff, the word 0:15:22.979 --> 0:15:27.179 escaped me unlike Jake Moody's field goals finding between the crossbars. 0:15:27.219 --> 0:15:29.779 Here the field position change is going up. 0:15:30.259 --> 0:15:31.939 And if you can get in Jake Moody's range and 0:15:31.939 --> 0:15:34.699 he's gonna hit field goals, Greg, it becomes even tougher 0:15:34.899 --> 0:15:37.899 for even Sam Donald in this revenge game to come 0:15:37.939 --> 0:15:39.099 in and get the hive buzzin it. 0:15:39.219 --> 0:15:41.339 I mean, what a bunch of upsets today. We first 0:15:41.379 --> 0:15:43.739 we have claybn talking momentum, and now we got him 0:15:43.739 --> 0:15:46.539 talking kickers. I like, second block of this show, we 0:15:46.659 --> 0:15:49.379 have forty nine ers winning, but it's not by that much. 0:15:49.459 --> 0:15:51.899 Oh I would actually like to make it even closer. 0:15:51.939 --> 0:15:54.739 Now that line was moving. Bikings keep it close because 0:15:54.779 --> 0:15:57.099 of their run game in Aaron Jones, Sam Darnald, just 0:15:57.179 --> 0:16:00.139 don't make mistakes and hand the ball off to Aaron Jones. 0:16:00.219 --> 0:16:02.499 I can't believe the Packers let this guy get away 0:16:02.539 --> 0:16:05.219 from them five to ten yard runs last week. So 0:16:05.579 --> 0:16:08.019 Jordan Mason was great, you know who was even better? 0:16:08.219 --> 0:16:11.899 Aaron Jones second in the NFL in rushing yards over 0:16:12.019 --> 0:16:14.699 expected a lot of tough runs like this one where 0:16:14.739 --> 0:16:18.219 he's carrying those giants in their khakis. I mean, you 0:16:18.299 --> 0:16:20.539 knew they were gonna lose when they put those uniforms on. 0:16:20.699 --> 0:16:23.779 Give me a break. Aaron Jones was incredible, though, and 0:16:23.899 --> 0:16:25.899 I think that's the way you can keep it close 0:16:25.899 --> 0:16:27.259 against the forty nine Ers Beirs. 0:16:27.499 --> 0:16:29.579 They were celebrating the existence of the franchise. 0:16:29.659 --> 0:16:32.699 Greg, I mean, you invited all those legends. You're gonna 0:16:32.739 --> 0:16:35.459 watch Lawrence Taylor, watch this team stink it up. I mean, 0:16:35.499 --> 0:16:36.099 give me a break. 0:16:36.259 --> 0:16:37.139 Maybe Babe LT. 0:16:37.219 --> 0:16:39.659 Got out of there by there was the pick six 0:16:39.739 --> 0:16:43.019 by Andrew Ginkles. Monday night, Kirk Cousins and the Falcons 0:16:43.059 --> 0:16:45.939 head to Philadelphia. Atlanta's offense looked like it was stuck, 0:16:46.099 --> 0:16:50.059 rendering the loss of the Steelers with absolutely nothing to 0:16:50.139 --> 0:16:51.859 gain in the second half last week. 0:16:52.099 --> 0:16:53.779 Do they bounce back against the Eagles? 0:16:53.819 --> 0:16:57.019 Greg, they do not. I mean, the Eagles are Cynthia's 0:16:57.099 --> 0:16:59.179 Super Bowl pick, which I love. I have them winning 0:16:59.219 --> 0:17:01.979 twenty six to fourteen. But I'm gonna go negative here. 0:17:02.019 --> 0:17:04.779 It's like an attack ad during political season. Kirk Couttins 0:17:04.819 --> 0:17:07.419 couldn't move last week. I can't pick a guy who 0:17:07.539 --> 0:17:10.739 can't move. This was a guy who played his very 0:17:10.819 --> 0:17:14.859
