Speaker 1: Everybody welcome the game debut present about Mercedes Ben's packing.
Speaker 1: Clayb On here with Greg Rosenthal and say the Freeland
Speaker 1: hope your holiday is safe and filled with whatever food
Speaker 1: that you enjoy the most. No food arguments on this show.
Speaker 1: We just we want everybody Greg to get those.
Speaker 2: Things, eat the food.
Speaker 3: All food is good if it's prepared the right way.
Speaker 4: That's what I WI love.
Speaker 1: Yes, the key ingredient to both food and picking games.
Speaker 1: Perhaps what's Greg rose with all secret? We don't know,
Speaker 1: but right now he's in the lead one hundred. I
Speaker 1: had a Cynthia who's at one twenty fifty nine, and
Speaker 1: I am pulling up the rear one.
Speaker 4: Sixteen and sixteen twenty of time left.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. It's gonna be tough.
Speaker 3: We're not stuffing that thing.
Speaker 4: You aren't. We didn't.
Speaker 3: We just stuff you, I guess. So yeah, Greg, No,
Speaker 3: that's talking.
Speaker 2: Run across the screen. We're gonna start here. The Eagles
Speaker 2: still have six games to play.
Speaker 1: One already has a career high in rushing yards and
Speaker 1: on the flip side. In Baltimore, another running back whose
Speaker 1: team didn't want to pay him, neither did the team
Speaker 1: that he wanted to play for the most Thanks for that.
Speaker 2: By the way, Who's winning this game?
Speaker 3: Great man?
Speaker 5: I went back and forth. I think this is the
Speaker 5: best game of the year. I'm so excited about we
Speaker 5: could see it as a super Bowl in a couple
Speaker 5: of months. I have the Ravens winning twenty four to
Speaker 5: twenty three. They're the home team, and so I leaned
Speaker 5: towards him because of that, and because of the coaching matchup. Yes,
Speaker 5: John Harbaugh and those fourth down decisions that he made
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles on Monday night just reminded me going
Speaker 5: into this matchup.
Speaker 3: Yes, Nick Sirianni is not afraid to go for a.
Speaker 5: Fourth down, but this Eagles team had been winning easy.
Speaker 5: It hasn't had a close game in the winning streak
Speaker 5: since the very beginning against the Browns. And I do
Speaker 5: think in a game of margins, maybe a game of
Speaker 5: special teams, a game of decisions, a game of staying
Speaker 5: cool and calm under pressure. I just trust John Harbaugh
Speaker 5: a lot more than Nick Sirianni.
Speaker 3: That was what did it for me. Let's go Ravens.
Speaker 4: I'm really impressed that you got through that whole thing
Speaker 4: without saying a game of inches, because it's just like
Speaker 4: blows off the top. I too have a one point
Speaker 4: win wow the Ravens, which is wild so different from yours.
Speaker 4: Twenty five to twenty four. I'm looking at this game
Speaker 4: and I want to point out just how good Jalen
Speaker 4: Carter is, because we've talked about it before. But this
Speaker 4: is a situation where you know, it's not necessarily like
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry gets a chance to run against a guy
Speaker 4: like Jalen Carter very often. We're gonna see a little
Speaker 4: steal on steel match up here. Who is the best
Speaker 4: of the best, Not really Derrick Henry running to the
Speaker 4: area that Jalen Carter stands in. But whatever, don't let
Speaker 4: details get in the way of a good story. I
Speaker 4: just want to point out that Jalen Carter patrolling the
Speaker 4: middle is disruptive. He's a huge problem the Baltimore O line.
Speaker 4: They've had some moments of weakness this year, so if
Speaker 4: there is an upset and the Eagles do win, it
Speaker 4: will likely be like some massive Jalen Carter pancake situation.
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep the trend going, guys. I've got
Speaker 2: a one point win.
Speaker 1: We'll cover every number from twenty two to twenty five.
Speaker 1: I have which on his mind, twenty three to twenty
Speaker 1: two win by the Baltimore Ravens, because we just saw
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, and we've seen the Eagles have so much
Speaker 1: success running the ball. They're gonna have to do it
Speaker 1: against one of the better rush defenses in the entire league.
Speaker 1: That might get Michael pierceback, the big man on the inside,
Speaker 1: the nose tackle on coming back. He's been activated off
Speaker 1: of injured reserve, giving up a ton of explosive plays
Speaker 1: in the past game, not in the run game, three
Speaker 1: point three yards per carry overall. Maybe no DeVante Smith
Speaker 1: enough for me to take the home team, not to
Speaker 1: mention their quarterback, who I believe is playing some of
Speaker 1: the best football.
Speaker 3: And we're in trouble on the memes here this week.
Speaker 4: We are so in trouble on the memes.
Speaker 3: But I don't feel comfortable. I'm almost tempted to change
Speaker 3: my pick, but I am not going to do that.
Speaker 3: I want you.
Speaker 4: I want to pick up a game on you.
Speaker 1: I want no, I don't want well again, all all
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, the Eagles fans are going to meme
Speaker 1: alert us. I feel like the same ones that would
Speaker 1: meme alert us were the ones a few weeks ago
Speaker 1: just bemoaning their football team.
Speaker 2: We're gonna look at the MDP odds.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen a favorite, Lamar Jackson, Sakuon Barkley, Jared Goff,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Cynthia's waving her arm, I am because you
Speaker 1: want Jared higher.
Speaker 4: No, well, I'm just talking about value, your girl. I
Speaker 4: love blackfart, I hate shopping, but I like a good value.
Speaker 4: And if you're looking for upside here, Jared Goff's odds
Speaker 4: are very long. For what He's the only NFC quarterback
Speaker 4: we know. MVP is typically given to a quarterback that
Speaker 4: is the only one in the NFC. If they make this, like,
Speaker 4: just think about I'm not talking about that what I
Speaker 4: necessarily think, but just the strategy of it all. Put
Speaker 4: a little Jared Goff in your Portofolio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the most vibes based thing, awards wise that you
Speaker 1: could possibly go for.
Speaker 2: You gotta pick, you gotta play the vibes.
Speaker 1: The MVP favorite Josh Allen against Brandon Allen this week.
Speaker 1: Brock Purty, whoever it is for the five and six
Speaker 1: nine ers not on any MVP shortlist Greg who do
Speaker 1: you have on Sunday?
Speaker 5: I have the Bells winning in a big way thirty
Speaker 5: to thirteen of party plays.
Speaker 3: That helps them.
Speaker 5: But either way, I think the Bills cover a big
Speaker 5: number because they are one of the best teams in
Speaker 5: the league upfront, and yes, they are led by their
Speaker 5: MVP front runner Josh Allen.
Speaker 3: Now should he be the front runner?
Speaker 5: It's tough for me but to choose between him, Lamar
Speaker 5: Jackson and Saquon Barkley. We got a ways to go.
Speaker 5: We don't need to be in different camps. I'm sick
Speaker 5: of the Josh Allen people going after the Lamar Jackson
Speaker 5: people and vice versa.
Speaker 3: Even Cynthia talking about Jared Gott.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm talking about none of these guys had
Speaker 5: five interception games. I'm just saying Josh Allen is playing
Speaker 5: awesome and the Niners defense not playing well at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh Allen a part of that Bill's ground game
Speaker 1: as well, which has been very good, and the forty
Speaker 1: nine Ers run defense has been very pedestrian. I've got
Speaker 1: the Bills winning this one as well, twenty four to nineteen.
Speaker 1: It's not just that the forty nine Ers rush defense
Speaker 1: isn't as good as it once was. It's pretty mad
Speaker 1: in general, barely better than the Jets run defense in
Speaker 1: total success right and since Week six they're in the
Speaker 1: bottom ten in the entire NFL and run defense success rate.
Speaker 1: And then you look over on the other side where
Speaker 1: James Cook has been having rush yards over expected top
Speaker 1: ten right now, tough look for the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: in this matchup against Buffalo.
Speaker 4: Well meve it on up, forty nine Ers fans. I
Speaker 4: to have a win where Buffalo is covering their spread.
Speaker 4: I have an eight point win, twenty eight to twenty.
Speaker 4: I just want to give a little love to George Kittle.
Speaker 4: Though we could say a lot of bad things about
Speaker 4: the red area, both on offense and defense for the Niners,
Speaker 4: but I'm not going to. Instead, I'm going to say
Speaker 4: that George Kittle, no matter who the quarterback is, is
Speaker 4: the straw that is stirring the drink of this offense
Speaker 4: this season. He's worth giving some love to on this show.
Speaker 4: We may not have picked the Niners, but we all
Speaker 4: believe in what George Kittle brings to the table, the yak,
Speaker 4: the opportunity to be an inline receiver. He's just really
Speaker 4: helping his offense out a ton this season. So even
Speaker 4: though I'm picking against him, I still think he'll have
Speaker 4: a strong day and an important day for him.
Speaker 1: Yes, the memes are in and the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: up against a lot injuries, schedule, everything, so we're all
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo bill. The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off the
Speaker 1: divisional portion of their schedule just two weeks ago. Six
Speaker 1: of their last eight games or against AFC North opponents.
Speaker 1: The first two games against Cincy starts on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Do they win it, Cynthia?
Speaker 4: They sure do, twenty five to twenty two in this
Speaker 4: matchup twenty three. Excuse me a two point win. When
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the opportunity here to make decisions, I
Speaker 4: think both teams have some trends to watch. Number one,
Speaker 4: we saw some weird stuff last week. And I know
Speaker 4: it was snowing and maybe you didn't catch it, but
Speaker 4: it was actually Justin Fields who was throwing passes in
Speaker 4: the snow late in the game. Perhaps this is a
Speaker 4: victim of overthinking things. Maybe you want to use the
Speaker 4: guy Russell Wilson, who has kind of the best stats
Speaker 4: and actually many of the best stats in the fourth
Speaker 4: quarter in the league at the end of the game,
Speaker 4: just a thought. I don't think that that will happen
Speaker 4: again in this matchup, especially if we can see who's
Speaker 4: playing now on the other side. I have a lot
Speaker 4: of arguments that could be made for lou Anrumo being
Speaker 4: the best defense coordinator at making in game adjustments. So
Speaker 4: the difference between the second half and the first half.
Speaker 4: The problem is, there is still a reason that Russell
Speaker 4: Wilson is the best in the fourth quarter. So I
Speaker 4: think there are still too many deficiencies on that Bengals defense,
Speaker 4: and the Steelers take this one.
Speaker 5: So I gotta admit the longer the week went on,
Speaker 5: I've grown increasingly uncomfortable with my own pick, and that
Speaker 5: is that the Bengals find a way to win this
Speaker 5: game and keep their season live twenty four to twenty
Speaker 5: in part because I'm not quite buying what Cynthia is
Speaker 5: selling with the Steelers' offense. Russell Wilson in the Steelers
Speaker 5: offense hasn't been running the ball well. Now that's not
Speaker 5: Wilson's fault, that's the offensive line, but it's been inconsistent.
Speaker 5: They had seven quarters without scoring a touchdown. Naje Harris
Speaker 5: not really getting it done in the red zone, Russell
Speaker 5: Wilson four to four to eleven in those seven quarters
Speaker 5: where they did not score a touchdown. And I think
Speaker 5: bringing in Justin Fields makes sense because he can be
Speaker 5: a weapon in the red zone. Maybe you don't want
Speaker 5: to use him on other parts of the field. I
Speaker 5: don't know, but the young offensive life that we thought
Speaker 5: was coming together hasn't been great. And I do think
Speaker 5: the Bengals get it done because of their offense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually with Greg here.
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals win it twenty one to twenty
Speaker 1: finally a win because I went and looked at some headlines.
Speaker 1: The Arizona Republic called the Week ten game against.
Speaker 2: The Baltimore Ravens a must win. They lost.
Speaker 1: Then the Aflon Sports said it was a must win,
Speaker 1: and so far against.
Speaker 2: The Chargers they lost.
Speaker 1: This actually is a must win because I think their
Speaker 1: opportunity to go to the playoffs, the playoff percentage chances
Speaker 1: drops significantly.
Speaker 2: It helps. They have a really good player, Jamar.
Speaker 1: Chase, who has four in with ninety three yards after
Speaker 1: the catch this season. To compare that to a player
Speaker 1: who just has like Davante Adams, he has six more
Speaker 1: receiving yards than DeVante Adams does just with yards after
Speaker 1: the catch. I think the Bengals use that offense to
Speaker 1: go off against the Steelers team and get a win.
Speaker 2: So this is a prime number for since do the
Speaker 2: thing you.
Speaker 3: Know you love it, d D.
Speaker 4: I'm very happy about my prime number.
Speaker 2: Steelers Bengals.
Speaker 1: One of six divisional games in week thirteen and including
Speaker 1: in Kansas City where the Raiders had the arrowhead.
Speaker 2: Black.
Speaker 1: Friday Football on Prime is back. It's also here, Max Crosby.
Speaker 1: I'm here the Las Vegas Radars Raiders against Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: and the Kansas City Chiefs this Friday at three o'clock
Speaker 1: PM Eastern only on Prime Video. All right, rousing endorsement
Speaker 1: from the Raiders head coaches Don for quick picks. Greg,
Speaker 1: it looks like an O'Connell is bad for the Raiders.
Speaker 1: How does that impact your score?
Speaker 3: Not at all? Oh, twenty seven to seventeen.
Speaker 5: It's a bigger deal that Isaiah Pacheco is back on
Speaker 5: the field. He's here for the Chiefs this week. They
Speaker 5: need some explosions, especially in their backfield. Kareem Hunt came
Speaker 5: in has helped them out a lot think he'd be
Speaker 5: better used in short yardage.
Speaker 3: Maybe a little less is more situation.
Speaker 5: Pachecko can give you big plays in the passing game,
Speaker 5: big plays in the running game, and they just need
Speaker 5: some youth, some speed, some tackle breaking ability. This offense
Speaker 5: has been efficient, it has not been explosive Isaiah Pachecko
Speaker 5: can give you. And the casual way that Antonio Piers
Speaker 5: said they're the worst team in the league, it actually
Speaker 5: wasn't really a motivational thing. That's not making me feel
Speaker 5: good if I'm a Raiders fan.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Cyber Monday, Cynthia, where the.
Speaker 1: Very very red hot Denver Broncos are taking on the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 2: What do you see happening?
Speaker 4: Ooh, I see a touchdown win. In my most normal
Speaker 4: football scorer of the entire week twenty four to seventeen,
Speaker 4: it's so interesting to watch what happens when bow Knicks
Speaker 4: targets Courtland Sutton on go routes, as in touchdowns, as
Speaker 4: in receptions, as in deep passes, as in all of
Speaker 4: the things that you like to see from more veteran quarterbacks.
Speaker 4: Bow Nix now has five games with two or more
Speaker 4: passing touchdowns without an interception. Does he make it six?
Speaker 4: This is a good opportunity, especially when he passes to
Speaker 4: Courtland Sutton.
Speaker 2: In the thick of that playoff race in the AFC.
Speaker 1: Let's finish things up in the AFC West with the
Speaker 1: Chargers in Atlanta to take on the Falcons, and we've
Speaker 1: all got the bolts in this one. I like the
Speaker 1: Chargers twenty two to nineteen with a due dude that's
Speaker 1: playing great ball right now, justin Herbert. I think his teammates,
Speaker 1: especially the pass catchers, actually catch the passes, have a
Speaker 1: bounce back performance in Atlanta, where the difficulties rushing the
Speaker 1: passer are well documented. And perhaps it was that performance
Speaker 1: in Denver that has convinced all of us to take
Speaker 1: the Chargers here.
Speaker 5: Wow, on the road, Falcons fans, you're right, we don't
Speaker 5: believe in you.
Speaker 4: This is how I'm surprised, none of us in a vacuum.
Speaker 2: In this game. We're not making overall commentary about the franchise.
Speaker 3: Now, but I am about the twenty twenty four Falcons.
Speaker 3: I don't believe in them. Bucks win the division.
Speaker 2: That's Greg, that's not us. The statements represented by Greg
Speaker 2: Rosenthal only.
Speaker 1: Represent they don't have a lot of fond memories of
Speaker 1: Patriots football. Vince Wilford causing commands but to move at
Speaker 1: such a velocity that Mark Sanchez fumbled and Rex Ryan
Speaker 1: had another one of his sixty six career losses that
Speaker 1: was great, the Buck fumble and Classic Thanksgiving. We're just
Speaker 1: hours away from the John Madden Thanksgiving celebration.
Speaker 2: Three games on Thanksgiving. The NFL Network has got you
Speaker 2: covered all day.
Speaker 1: Wake up Well, Good Morning Football at eight am, followed
Speaker 1: by Game Day Morning.
Speaker 2: Cynthia will be there, so you should watch that show.
Speaker 1: Then Cash Game Day Highlights after the Lions and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys games, and Game Day Final with Me after the Packers.
Speaker 2: Fear not. Greg Rosenthal doesn't have the day off.
Speaker 1: He's recording NFL Daily from home, which we occasionally let
Speaker 1: Greg go to that place like and subscribe.
Speaker 2: Everybody, Thank you.
Speaker 1: It's Sign for Mike, presented by the Wells Fargo Active
Speaker 1: Cash credit Card collective Willpower as we get to look
Speaker 1: at some really good duos six hundred rushing yards and
Speaker 1: ten or more rushing touchdowns. The only one team represented
Speaker 1: on this board twice, and that is Cynthia Freeland's Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions the question as we get to this guy or
Speaker 1: that guy, Cynthia, which one of the Lions running backs
Speaker 1: gets into the end zone against Chicago?
Speaker 4: Both of them. Oh, but the one that I want
Speaker 4: to talk about is Jimier Gibbs in this matchup. Why
Speaker 4: it's all about those explosive runs. It's all about the
Speaker 4: potential in the pass catching game. I like both of
Speaker 4: the I truly actually do like both of them to
Speaker 4: get in the end zone. I'm always a little worried
Speaker 4: when someone leaves with an injury, even if they say
Speaker 4: that they that they're going, they could have come back
Speaker 4: in But for the score. However, I think that the
Speaker 4: Jamiir Gibbs, He's my second highest rated running back for
Speaker 4: the entire week. So I mean, and with celebrations like this,
Speaker 4: what could go wrong?
Speaker 5: My son drafted both Jamir Gibbs and David Montgomery Walker's
Speaker 5: here today, and they scored.
Speaker 3: A touchdown together in nine weeks this season, so as
Speaker 3: a winning strategy.
Speaker 2: My only beef there is they played the ram.
Speaker 1: You gotta do that celebration against an LA team, so
Speaker 1: you can step over Tyron either way. Greg Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: and Malik Neighbors, both playing with backup quarterbacks, which one
Speaker 1: is more likely to get more than six.
Speaker 3: I think it's Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 5: I like the way Mike McCarthy used Cede Lamb early
Speaker 5: in that game.
Speaker 3: Louvium all around. He's been criticized for that, and last
Speaker 3: week CD played a lot of energy.
Speaker 5: He's got a back like an armadillo, as Dan Campbell
Speaker 5: was saying there, I don't know if you guys have
Speaker 5: ever seen an armadillo in person. Very strange animals, not
Speaker 5: what you expect, much less athletic and cool to watch
Speaker 5: compared to CD League. A lot of times single coverage
Speaker 5: the Giants, Leviyan like man to man.
Speaker 3: That's not gonna work against CD.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't work against Cooper Rush either. It completed
Speaker 1: all these passes against van coverage last week. I gave
Speaker 1: Greg that one so I could take this one. Tyreek
Speaker 1: or Jayden Reid to catch a touchdown on Thanksgiving. I
Speaker 1: like Tyreek Hill. I recognize that he hasn't gotten in
Speaker 1: the end zone a lot recently, but neither has Jayden Reid.
Speaker 1: And with Jalen Waddell demanding more attention after his huge
Speaker 1: game last week, as well as the emergence of John
Speaker 1: hu Smith.
Speaker 2: I think that there's more attention.
Speaker 1: That has to be paid to the other pass catchers,
Speaker 1: and maybe Tyreek gets in the paint and tries to
Speaker 1: take a leap in Lambeau as well. Looking forward to
Speaker 1: those games, and folks, we're looking forward to Game Day morning.
Speaker 2: Coming up Thursday at ten am Eastern.
Speaker 1: Rich Eisen, Steve Mariucci, Kurt Warner, Cynthia Freeland, who has
Speaker 1: pictured on this graphic.
Speaker 3: There's less maybe on this week. I like it.
Speaker 2: Maybe not as tall as things were last week.
Speaker 4: Colleen is taller than I.
Speaker 3: It's getting it's a.
Speaker 2: Large version of Colleen.
Speaker 1: The whole squad gets you set for all the games,
Speaker 1: and that's on the third end.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: John Madden Thanksgiving celebration Live reports from Bears, Lions and Giants, Cowboys,
Speaker 1: plus a look back at some of John Madden's most
Speaker 1: memorable calls. Thursday at ten am Eastern. Also featured on
Speaker 1: that graphic, Kurt Warner his Rams in New Orleans. The
Speaker 1: Saints are home underdogs. Both teams need a win to
Speaker 1: stay in the mix for a playoff spot, which one gets.
Speaker 4: At Cynthia, Okay, so in my regular model, I have
Speaker 4: a Rams win by one point. I've been playing with
Speaker 4: this Ats model because we're allowed to talk about that
Speaker 4: this year, and in that one, the Rams win by
Speaker 4: even more. I feel very strongly about that. Why because
Speaker 4: of Yack both yards after the catch and yards after contact.
Speaker 4: This is a team in the Saints, and even though
Speaker 4: they had the like the Rizzy infusion of excitement, they
Speaker 4: still have been missing tackles at an extremely high rate
Speaker 4: in both phases of the game. You are seeing Pukinakua
Speaker 4: right now. We could also be showing Cooper Cup. We
Speaker 4: could also be showing Kyron Williams. Heck, we could even
Speaker 4: show a tight end in the situation. So ultimately, it
Speaker 4: is the opportunity for the playmakers to get yards after
Speaker 4: whatever thing they're trying to do, be it a run
Speaker 4: or a pass. That informs this one for me.
Speaker 5: You know, I see Rams Saints in the Superdome and
Speaker 5: I think super Bowl.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think that's happening.
Speaker 5: But they have played big games, you know what I'm
Speaker 5: talking about, the NFC champions.
Speaker 3: Oh no, let's just take it back.
Speaker 5: This one a troubling moment in boy NFL history. Frankly,
Speaker 5: I always wonder would the Saints have beaten those Patriots
Speaker 5: that year in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: I think they would have had a chance.
Speaker 5: Sean McVay when he goes to New Orleans, he brings
Speaker 5: some sort of voodoo. It's strong, it's powerful, It gets
Speaker 5: lucky calls, maybe lucky games, even against the greats like
Speaker 5: Drew Brees. So if he could beat Drew Brees, you
Speaker 5: know it could beat Derek Carr and Darren Rizzy. Rizzie
Speaker 5: ball is a force stronger than most out there. But
Speaker 5: this Rams team, I think they're the best bad team
Speaker 5: in the league. They beat the bad teams and maybe
Speaker 5: they're not ready to beat the good teams, but I
Speaker 5: think they get to six and six and they stay relevant.
Speaker 5: Remember that exciting young Sean mcfay. He's gonna get it done.
Speaker 2: He's still exciting.
Speaker 5: He doesn't seem as like exciting like he's just been
Speaker 5: through a lot, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Well, the Saints franchise has been through a lot recently.
Speaker 1: If Darrenrizzy is able to get his third win, he
Speaker 1: will have a third of the best wins total in
Speaker 1: a season that the previous head coach ever had in
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen. But I am also taking the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: rams here twenty three to twenty on the strength of
Speaker 1: a pass rush in a really great rookie matchup here,
Speaker 1: as Jared Verse has the most pressures of any rookie,
Speaker 1: twelve more than any other rookie to be precise, and
Speaker 1: Saints rookie to last, Fuaga's pressure rate.
Speaker 2: Is the lowest among rookies.
Speaker 1: A great matchup to watch there, But I think the
Speaker 1: high powered ability of this rams offense as well as
Speaker 1: the veteran talent making the push there, and they're able
Speaker 1: to get a win in the Superdome.
Speaker 2: So we were all on the La.
Speaker 1: Rams Don for quick picks here on game debut, Cynthia.
Speaker 1: We got six games left and only six minutes to
Speaker 1: get through them.
Speaker 2: This is why we call it quick picks. So Cardinals Vikings.
Speaker 4: Please the Vikings by five. I hear, this is a
Speaker 4: prime number. Okay, give it to me. I love every
Speaker 4: bit of this. Let's just talk about Jordan Addison, who
Speaker 4: did that incredible dance that we saw coming into this segment.
Speaker 4: I couldn't do that. Maybe a little too old for that.
Speaker 4: But ultimately what I'm talking about is the fact that
Speaker 4: they have all of their pass catchers in lockstep. Now,
Speaker 4: we saw a massive game from Jordan Addison, We saw
Speaker 4: the first one hundred yard game from TJ. Hockinson. You know,
Speaker 4: justin Jefferson's still there. Maybe they'll have to, you know,
Speaker 4: give him a few extra steps on the defense because
Speaker 4: everyone else is catching passes five points. How on earth
Speaker 4: are you letting me do this? I'm a favorite at home.
Speaker 3: It's disrespectful just to this game that's in quick. This
Speaker 3: is a great game.
Speaker 5: Fine vikings, but I think that the Cardinals syre gonna bound.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I generally have questionable decision making, So that's why I
Speaker 1: chose that the Seahawks Jets. We all like Seattle to win,
Speaker 1: largely because not big fans Jets offense. Only one of us,
Speaker 1: in Cynthia, has them scoring more than twenty points, and
Speaker 1: she's just giving them twenty one points.
Speaker 2: And now the.
Speaker 1: Task is taking on a Seahawks defense that's giving up
Speaker 1: less than twelve.
Speaker 2: Points a game. Since the buye And yes.
Speaker 1: I choose to talk about the Seahawks defense and maybe
Speaker 1: not the three to eight team that.
Speaker 2: Gets more discussion. That's probably warranted. Greg.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Bucks and the Panthers. The Panthers
Speaker 1: almost beat the Chiefs until mahomes Is did Mahomesy and things.
Speaker 2: Can they knock off the Bucks this week?
Speaker 3: They can.
Speaker 5: I don't have them doing it, but I do have
Speaker 5: them covering the number thirty to twenty six. Because as
Speaker 5: great as Bryce Young is playing right now, and he's
Speaker 5: stepped up a level, Baker Mayfield has been at that
Speaker 5: level for a while.
Speaker 3: This season.
Speaker 5: Mike Evans comes back into the mix and he plays
Speaker 5: even better.
Speaker 3: He's right and all over the Giants.
Speaker 5: He's making good decisions, he's getting rid of the ball,
Speaker 5: and he's making you know about it. If you're gonna win,
Speaker 5: make sure they know. And there's a lot of winning
Speaker 5: against this Panthers defense. I think Bryce Young can keep
Speaker 5: up in a shootout. It's just his defense is maybe
Speaker 5: the worst in the league. Bucks defense not at that level.
Speaker 5: Tampa gets to win, they might win this division.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Let's look over at some games that we don't necessarily
Speaker 1: think are very high scoring.
Speaker 2: You guys laugh to my thirteen twelve score.
Speaker 1: Folks in Gravegas agree the over under thirty seven and
Speaker 1: a half for Giants, Cowboys, Brown's Broncos right behind them,
Speaker 1: and then the Colts and Patriots at forty two and
Speaker 1: a half, last number on that board. Speaking of numbers,
Speaker 1: let's discuss over or under here. On game day, you
Speaker 1: will start with one of those games, the Colts and
Speaker 1: the Patriots.
Speaker 2: I've got the over at forty two.
Speaker 1: And a half because I think the Colts will score
Speaker 1: and we've seen these teams beat around that area. But
Speaker 1: I think the Colts offense is enough to get us
Speaker 1: over that number.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Colts Patriots, a little AFC East rivalry re nude
Speaker 5: from back in the day. These two quarterbacks are playing outstanding.
Speaker 5: I don't trust the Patriots defense at Also, I have
Speaker 5: a big Colts victory, but I think Drake May gets
Speaker 5: it done enough on offense to get to the number.
Speaker 3: I do not.
Speaker 4: I have the under in this one. I think it's
Speaker 4: gonna be a nice day for you know, potentially watching
Speaker 4: running backs Jonathan Taylor forecast to have a nice one
Speaker 4: in this one. Samee with Ramandre Stevenson. So more running,
Speaker 4: fewer positions. It's just less then less.
Speaker 1: Then let's go to the Titans and Commanders. The Washington
Speaker 1: team losing three straight. They'll go into the buy with
Speaker 1: a win, I believe, But I'm also taking the under
Speaker 1: in this one. I think the Titans will try to
Speaker 1: keep Jaden Daniels and the Washington Commanders off the field
Speaker 1: and pound Tony Pollard on the ground, as well as
Speaker 1: late season Cliff not necessarily scoring that many points, So
Speaker 1: I've got the under.
Speaker 5: One of my favorite picks of the week is the
Speaker 5: Titans covering this spread, maybe even winning outright, and it's
Speaker 5: going to be a low scoring game. Twenty one to
Speaker 5: twenty is the score that I have in this one.
Speaker 5: The Titans are outstanding at one thing as a team.
Speaker 3: And that's oping the run.
Speaker 5: And if you stop Washington and make them one dimensional,
Speaker 5: it's going to be tough for them to win, tough
Speaker 5: for them to score.
Speaker 3: Twenty one twenty. I think it's gonna be a close one.
Speaker 4: I agree with you that the Titans keep it close,
Speaker 4: but I think it's more. I think they keep it
Speaker 4: close because they score. And I think jayde and Daniels.
Speaker 4: I watched him both rush for seventy four yards last
Speaker 4: week and pass a late touchdown to Terry McLaurin a
Speaker 4: deep one too, so high leverage situations. I think both
Speaker 4: quarterbacks can show you a little something here. I mean, plus,
Speaker 4: we know will. It was just like likes a lot
Speaker 4: of craziness.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to the last one here the
Speaker 1: Texans and the Jags, where I am taking the under again.
Speaker 1: I've got twenty three to eighteen, which adds up to
Speaker 1: forty one.
Speaker 2: Which is under forty three. So that's that's my excuse
Speaker 2: that I can count.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take it the underd I am going way over.
Speaker 5: Like I said, my sun Walker's in the crowd here
Speaker 5: today a live studio audience. Is Texans, which have really
Speaker 5: been bubbing him out, are going to give him something
Speaker 5: to cheer about this weekend.
Speaker 3: Four touchdowns for C. D.
Speaker 5: Stroud all Tonico Collins, fantasy points galore for the Stack,
Speaker 5: and the Texans get off the schneid and they go
Speaker 5: into the buy feeling good in a high scoring game.
Speaker 4: I love Walker's reaction right now. It's kind of like this.
Speaker 4: I also have more points than the number. I have
Speaker 4: a Nico Collins slashdown. But let's not forget about Joe Mixon.
Speaker 4: This team goes the way of Joe Mixon. I think
Speaker 4: he has a massive game as well. I think he
Speaker 4: could see the end zone twice.
Speaker 1: Walker feels good about our tech O Tappy. He doesn't
Speaker 1: like my point total, but the fact that the stack
Speaker 1: of Nico Collins and CJ. Stroud is going to combine
Speaker 1: for like eighty fantasy points, that that works.
Speaker 2: Out, folks. We've got more to come here on Game Debut.
Speaker 1: In fact, last week I told you to write it
Speaker 1: down that Gordon and Sutton would have a big day
Speaker 1: against the Raiders.
Speaker 2: Nailed it. So what are you writing down this week?
Speaker 1: This is a tease. I'm not gonna tell you. You
Speaker 1: gotta stick around for the answer here on Game Debut. Oh,
Speaker 1: simply the absolute best, folks. Thursday, ten am Eastern. Rich Ousen, Steve,
Speaker 1: Mary Yucci, Kurt Warner, Cendia Freeland and friends. Get you
Speaker 1: set for all the games on the third annual John
Speaker 1: Madden Thanksgiving Celebration.
Speaker 2: Live reports from Bear's Line and.
Speaker 1: Giants Cowboys, plus I look back at some of John
Speaker 1: Madden's most memorable calls.
Speaker 2: Thursday at ten a m. Eastern.
Speaker 1: Time for us to make our calls as we get
Speaker 1: to write this down some surefire, we hope predictions for
Speaker 1: He's starting with Greg Roseen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm on a one game winning streak.
Speaker 5: Finally got to write this down to hit last week,
Speaker 5: and we're gonna have it happen again in a Packers game.
Speaker 5: This time it's Tua tongue of I Looa. I know
Speaker 5: I went against Miami earlier, but I think they cover
Speaker 5: the spread, and I think they do it with a
Speaker 5: lot of passing yards from Tua Tongue of I Looa.
Speaker 5: This Packers defense, no JayR Alexander, no Edger and Cooper.
Speaker 5: I think the Dolphins could be trailing in this game.
Speaker 5: So Tua is throwing quite a bit. He's very efficient.
Speaker 5: They can't run the ball at all in Miami, so
Speaker 5: it's all passing all the time. Tua goes over his
Speaker 5: two hundred and forty passing yards.
Speaker 4: What you like Dolphins golf so badly? I'm being a homer.
Speaker 4: Why because I can and the matt supports it, Jared Goff.
Speaker 4: He's going to have at least two passing touchdowns. It's
Speaker 4: going to just be more than one and a half
Speaker 4: passing touchdowns. If you look at some of the coverages
Speaker 4: that the Bears put on the field, well you know
Speaker 4: who's great at diagnosing them and dicing them up. As
Speaker 4: you would say, Jared Goff. I think the opportunity here
Speaker 4: for aman Rossney Brown to show up and show out
Speaker 4: at home on Thanksgiving and their first winning eight seasons.
Speaker 5: Let's go, Jared, don't embarrass Cynthia huge stakes because the
Speaker 5: last time a team has won the thing that Cynthia
Speaker 5: doesn't say and played on Thanksgiving was.
Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety five to ninety five Cowboys.
Speaker 1: My write this down, which is very important to me
Speaker 1: because it's the only thing on the show that I'm
Speaker 1: actually winning. I think Romodnsea will have more than forty
Speaker 1: three and a half receiving yards against the Lions on Thursday.
Speaker 2: It's not besmersing the Lions at all.
Speaker 1: Symp just have to throw the ball a ton and
Speaker 1: Romo Dunsay in the last two weeks has got twenty targets.
Speaker 1: I think ten targets again adds up to more than
Speaker 1: forty three and a half yards and I.
Speaker 2: Can maintain a lead. And again, the only thing I'm
Speaker 2: winning on this show, Ah.
Speaker 3: You're winning.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm winning a general because I.
Speaker 4: Get the cards per target. I'm fine with that.
Speaker 1: I get this holiday with you guys, your families as well.
Speaker 1: Thanks for spending time with us on game debut percentedby
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz.
Speaker 2: We'll see you next week. Eat safe, everybody
