WEBVTT - Can Ravens slow down Eagles? 0:00:09.499 --> 0:00:12.099 Everybody welcome the game debut present about Mercedes Ben's packing. 0:00:12.139 --> 0:00:14.299 Clayb On here with Greg Rosenthal and say the Freeland 0:00:14.299 --> 0:00:17.179 hope your holiday is safe and filled with whatever food 0:00:17.419 --> 0:00:20.539 that you enjoy the most. No food arguments on this show. 0:00:20.579 --> 0:00:22.699 We just we want everybody Greg to get those. 0:00:22.579 --> 0:00:23.379 Things, eat the food. 0:00:23.459 --> 0:00:25.659 All food is good if it's prepared the right way. 0:00:25.699 --> 0:00:26.619 That's what I WI love. 0:00:28.019 --> 0:00:32.219 Yes, the key ingredient to both food and picking games. 0:00:32.259 --> 0:00:35.379 Perhaps what's Greg rose with all secret? We don't know, 0:00:35.379 --> 0:00:40.619 but right now he's in the lead one hundred. I 0:00:40.659 --> 0:00:43.739 had a Cynthia who's at one twenty fifty nine, and 0:00:43.819 --> 0:00:45.659 I am pulling up the rear one. 0:00:45.579 --> 0:00:47.619 Sixteen and sixteen twenty of time left. 0:00:47.699 --> 0:00:49.379 Well, we'll see. It's gonna be tough. 0:00:49.699 --> 0:00:51.059 We're not stuffing that thing. 0:00:51.859 --> 0:00:53.179 You aren't. We didn't. 0:00:53.219 --> 0:00:58.019 We just stuff you, I guess. So yeah, Greg, No, 0:00:58.139 --> 0:00:58.579 that's talking. 0:00:58.659 --> 0:01:02.259 Run across the screen. We're gonna start here. The Eagles 0:01:02.499 --> 0:01:04.099 still have six games to play. 0:01:04.259 --> 0:01:06.579 One already has a career high in rushing yards and 0:01:06.619 --> 0:01:09.499 on the flip side. In Baltimore, another running back whose 0:01:09.539 --> 0:01:11.619 team didn't want to pay him, neither did the team 0:01:11.619 --> 0:01:13.739 that he wanted to play for the most Thanks for that. 0:01:13.779 --> 0:01:15.379 By the way, Who's winning this game? 0:01:15.419 --> 0:01:16.139 Great man? 0:01:16.179 --> 0:01:17.619 I went back and forth. I think this is the 0:01:17.619 --> 0:01:19.299 best game of the year. I'm so excited about we 0:01:19.299 --> 0:01:21.299 could see it as a super Bowl in a couple 0:01:21.379 --> 0:01:23.659 of months. I have the Ravens winning twenty four to 0:01:23.659 --> 0:01:26.379 twenty three. They're the home team, and so I leaned 0:01:26.379 --> 0:01:30.219 towards him because of that, and because of the coaching matchup. Yes, 0:01:30.659 --> 0:01:34.019 John Harbaugh and those fourth down decisions that he made 0:01:34.579 --> 0:01:37.819 in Los Angeles on Monday night just reminded me going 0:01:37.939 --> 0:01:38.779 into this matchup. 0:01:38.859 --> 0:01:40.899 Yes, Nick Sirianni is not afraid to go for a. 0:01:40.859 --> 0:01:44.059 Fourth down, but this Eagles team had been winning easy. 0:01:44.379 --> 0:01:46.419 It hasn't had a close game in the winning streak 0:01:46.499 --> 0:01:48.939 since the very beginning against the Browns. And I do 0:01:48.979 --> 0:01:51.299 think in a game of margins, maybe a game of 0:01:51.579 --> 0:01:54.459 special teams, a game of decisions, a game of staying 0:01:54.579 --> 0:01:58.339 cool and calm under pressure. I just trust John Harbaugh 0:01:58.419 --> 0:02:00.099 a lot more than Nick Sirianni. 0:02:00.179 --> 0:02:02.219 That was what did it for me. Let's go Ravens. 0:02:02.699 --> 0:02:04.539 I'm really impressed that you got through that whole thing 0:02:04.579 --> 0:02:06.979 without saying a game of inches, because it's just like 0:02:07.139 --> 0:02:09.539 blows off the top. I too have a one point 0:02:09.539 --> 0:02:13.339 win wow the Ravens, which is wild so different from yours. 0:02:13.379 --> 0:02:16.379 Twenty five to twenty four. I'm looking at this game 0:02:16.459 --> 0:02:18.659 and I want to point out just how good Jalen 0:02:18.699 --> 0:02:21.699 Carter is, because we've talked about it before. But this 0:02:21.779 --> 0:02:25.499 is a situation where you know, it's not necessarily like 0:02:25.659 --> 0:02:27.659 Derrick Henry gets a chance to run against a guy 0:02:27.699 --> 0:02:30.419 like Jalen Carter very often. We're gonna see a little 0:02:30.659 --> 0:02:33.299 steal on steel match up here. Who is the best 0:02:33.299 --> 0:02:35.419 of the best, Not really Derrick Henry running to the 0:02:35.459 --> 0:02:38.059 area that Jalen Carter stands in. But whatever, don't let 0:02:38.059 --> 0:02:39.819 details get in the way of a good story. I 0:02:39.899 --> 0:02:42.499 just want to point out that Jalen Carter patrolling the 0:02:42.539 --> 0:02:46.739 middle is disruptive. He's a huge problem the Baltimore O line. 0:02:46.779 --> 0:02:49.779 They've had some moments of weakness this year, so if 0:02:49.779 --> 0:02:52.859 there is an upset and the Eagles do win, it 0:02:52.939 --> 0:02:56.739 will likely be like some massive Jalen Carter pancake situation. 0:02:56.939 --> 0:02:58.859 All right, let's keep the trend going, guys. I've got 0:02:58.899 --> 0:02:59.539 a one point win. 0:02:59.979 --> 0:03:02.979 We'll cover every number from twenty two to twenty five. 0:03:03.379 --> 0:03:06.339 I have which on his mind, twenty three to twenty 0:03:06.379 --> 0:03:09.539 two win by the Baltimore Ravens, because we just saw 0:03:09.539 --> 0:03:11.779 Saquon Barkley, and we've seen the Eagles have so much 0:03:11.819 --> 0:03:13.619 success running the ball. They're gonna have to do it 0:03:13.619 --> 0:03:17.059 against one of the better rush defenses in the entire league. 0:03:17.099 --> 0:03:20.419 That might get Michael pierceback, the big man on the inside, 0:03:20.419 --> 0:03:24.219 the nose tackle on coming back. He's been activated off 0:03:24.259 --> 0:03:26.579 of injured reserve, giving up a ton of explosive plays 0:03:26.619 --> 0:03:29.259 in the past game, not in the run game, three 0:03:29.259 --> 0:03:32.819 point three yards per carry overall. Maybe no DeVante Smith 0:03:33.179 --> 0:03:35.579 enough for me to take the home team, not to 0:03:35.619 --> 0:03:39.739 mention their quarterback, who I believe is playing some of 0:03:39.779 --> 0:03:40.419 the best football. 0:03:40.459 --> 0:03:43.259 And we're in trouble on the memes here this week. 0:03:43.459 --> 0:03:45.499 We are so in trouble on the memes. 0:03:45.259 --> 0:03:47.499 But I don't feel comfortable. I'm almost tempted to change 0:03:47.499 --> 0:03:49.419 my pick, but I am not going to do that. 0:03:50.379 --> 0:03:51.659 I want you. 0:03:51.859 --> 0:03:53.219 I want to pick up a game on you. 0:03:53.299 --> 0:03:56.379 I want no, I don't want well again, all all 0:03:56.419 --> 0:03:58.499 the Baltimore Ravens, the Eagles fans are going to meme 0:03:58.499 --> 0:04:00.019 alert us. I feel like the same ones that would 0:04:00.019 --> 0:04:01.779 meme alert us were the ones a few weeks ago 0:04:01.859 --> 0:04:03.659 just bemoaning their football team. 0:04:04.219 --> 0:04:06.059 We're gonna look at the MDP odds. 0:04:06.539 --> 0:04:11.419 Josh Allen a favorite, Lamar Jackson, Sakuon Barkley, Jared Goff, 0:04:11.779 --> 0:04:15.659 Patrick Mahomes. Cynthia's waving her arm, I am because you 0:04:15.659 --> 0:04:16.539 want Jared higher. 0:04:16.739 --> 0:04:19.819 No, well, I'm just talking about value, your girl. I 0:04:19.859 --> 0:04:22.419 love blackfart, I hate shopping, but I like a good value. 0:04:22.459 --> 0:04:25.579 And if you're looking for upside here, Jared Goff's odds 0:04:25.619 --> 0:04:29.659 are very long. For what He's the only NFC quarterback 0:04:29.699 --> 0:04:32.299 we know. MVP is typically given to a quarterback that 0:04:32.379 --> 0:04:34.819 is the only one in the NFC. If they make this, like, 0:04:34.899 --> 0:04:37.139 just think about I'm not talking about that what I 0:04:37.179 --> 0:04:39.739 necessarily think, but just the strategy of it all. Put 0:04:39.739 --> 0:04:41.299 a little Jared Goff in your Portofolio. 0:04:41.579 --> 0:04:45.459 Yeah, the most vibes based thing, awards wise that you 0:04:45.499 --> 0:04:46.619 could possibly go for. 0:04:47.139 --> 0:04:48.619 You gotta pick, you gotta play the vibes. 0:04:48.659 --> 0:04:51.899 The MVP favorite Josh Allen against Brandon Allen this week. 0:04:51.979 --> 0:04:53.979 Brock Purty, whoever it is for the five and six 0:04:54.139 --> 0:04:57.699 nine ers not on any MVP shortlist Greg who do 0:04:57.779 --> 0:04:58.779 you have on Sunday? 0:04:58.859 --> 0:05:01.219 I have the Bells winning in a big way thirty 0:05:01.579 --> 0:05:03.619 to thirteen of party plays. 0:05:03.619 --> 0:05:04.179 That helps them. 0:05:04.379 --> 0:05:06.379 But either way, I think the Bills cover a big 0:05:06.459 --> 0:05:08.379 number because they are one of the best teams in 0:05:08.419 --> 0:05:10.579 the league upfront, and yes, they are led by their 0:05:10.699 --> 0:05:13.659 MVP front runner Josh Allen. 0:05:14.179 --> 0:05:15.659 Now should he be the front runner? 0:05:16.379 --> 0:05:18.659 It's tough for me but to choose between him, Lamar 0:05:18.779 --> 0:05:20.739 Jackson and Saquon Barkley. We got a ways to go. 0:05:20.859 --> 0:05:22.699 We don't need to be in different camps. I'm sick 0:05:22.739 --> 0:05:26.019 of the Josh Allen people going after the Lamar Jackson 0:05:26.059 --> 0:05:27.659 people and vice versa. 0:05:28.139 --> 0:05:29.979 Even Cynthia talking about Jared Gott. 0:05:29.979 --> 0:05:32.619 I mean, I'm talking about none of these guys had 0:05:32.779 --> 0:05:36.219 five interception games. I'm just saying Josh Allen is playing 0:05:36.259 --> 0:05:38.699 awesome and the Niners defense not playing well at all. 0:05:38.779 --> 0:05:41.139 Yeah, Josh Allen a part of that Bill's ground game 0:05:41.419 --> 0:05:43.459 as well, which has been very good, and the forty 0:05:43.539 --> 0:05:45.939 nine Ers run defense has been very pedestrian. I've got 0:05:45.979 --> 0:05:50.099 the Bills winning this one as well, twenty four to nineteen. 0:05:50.379 --> 0:05:52.459 It's not just that the forty nine Ers rush defense 0:05:52.499 --> 0:05:55.499 isn't as good as it once was. It's pretty mad 0:05:55.579 --> 0:05:59.339 in general, barely better than the Jets run defense in 0:05:59.379 --> 0:06:02.779 total success right and since Week six they're in the 0:06:02.779 --> 0:06:06.539 bottom ten in the entire NFL and run defense success rate. 0:06:06.699 --> 0:06:08.939 And then you look over on the other side where 0:06:09.019 --> 0:06:12.739 James Cook has been having rush yards over expected top 0:06:12.819 --> 0:06:15.859 ten right now, tough look for the forty nine ers 0:06:15.899 --> 0:06:16.939 in this matchup against Buffalo. 0:06:17.419 --> 0:06:20.019 Well meve it on up, forty nine Ers fans. I 0:06:20.179 --> 0:06:23.539 to have a win where Buffalo is covering their spread. 0:06:23.579 --> 0:06:25.699 I have an eight point win, twenty eight to twenty. 0:06:26.019 --> 0:06:28.139 I just want to give a little love to George Kittle. 0:06:28.179 --> 0:06:29.939 Though we could say a lot of bad things about 0:06:29.979 --> 0:06:32.859 the red area, both on offense and defense for the Niners, 0:06:32.859 --> 0:06:35.459 but I'm not going to. Instead, I'm going to say 0:06:35.659 --> 0:06:38.979 that George Kittle, no matter who the quarterback is, is 0:06:39.299 --> 0:06:42.259 the straw that is stirring the drink of this offense 0:06:42.299 --> 0:06:45.259 this season. He's worth giving some love to on this show. 0:06:45.459 --> 0:06:47.659 We may not have picked the Niners, but we all 0:06:47.699 --> 0:06:51.099 believe in what George Kittle brings to the table, the yak, 0:06:51.379 --> 0:06:54.139 the opportunity to be an inline receiver. He's just really 0:06:54.179 --> 0:06:56.859 helping his offense out a ton this season. So even 0:06:56.899 --> 0:06:58.819 though I'm picking against him, I still think he'll have 0:06:58.859 --> 0:07:00.779 a strong day and an important day for him. 0:07:00.939 --> 0:07:02.899 Yes, the memes are in and the forty nine ers 0:07:02.979 --> 0:07:06.579 up against a lot injuries, schedule, everything, so we're all 0:07:06.579 --> 0:07:09.379 on the Buffalo bill. The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off the 0:07:09.379 --> 0:07:12.139 divisional portion of their schedule just two weeks ago. Six 0:07:12.179 --> 0:07:14.939 of their last eight games or against AFC North opponents. 0:07:15.099 --> 0:07:18.379 The first two games against Cincy starts on Sunday. 0:07:18.779 --> 0:07:19.979 Do they win it, Cynthia? 0:07:20.099 --> 0:07:23.899 They sure do, twenty five to twenty two in this 0:07:24.139 --> 0:07:27.099 matchup twenty three. Excuse me a two point win. When 0:07:27.139 --> 0:07:30.099 I'm looking at the opportunity here to make decisions, I 0:07:30.139 --> 0:07:33.379 think both teams have some trends to watch. Number one, 0:07:33.539 --> 0:07:35.779 we saw some weird stuff last week. And I know 0:07:35.819 --> 0:07:37.579 it was snowing and maybe you didn't catch it, but 0:07:37.579 --> 0:07:40.659 it was actually Justin Fields who was throwing passes in 0:07:40.739 --> 0:07:43.379 the snow late in the game. Perhaps this is a 0:07:43.659 --> 0:07:46.659 victim of overthinking things. Maybe you want to use the 0:07:46.659 --> 0:07:49.579 guy Russell Wilson, who has kind of the best stats 0:07:49.579 --> 0:07:51.779 and actually many of the best stats in the fourth 0:07:51.819 --> 0:07:54.019 quarter in the league at the end of the game, 0:07:54.099 --> 0:07:56.179 just a thought. I don't think that that will happen 0:07:56.259 --> 0:07:58.539 again in this matchup, especially if we can see who's 0:07:58.539 --> 0:08:00.619 playing now on the other side. I have a lot 0:08:00.659 --> 0:08:03.339 of arguments that could be made for lou Anrumo being 0:08:03.419 --> 0:08:06.739 the best defense coordinator at making in game adjustments. So 0:08:06.899 --> 0:08:08.979 the difference between the second half and the first half. 0:08:09.179 --> 0:08:11.739 The problem is, there is still a reason that Russell 0:08:11.779 --> 0:08:13.899 Wilson is the best in the fourth quarter. So I 0:08:13.899 --> 0:08:17.219 think there are still too many deficiencies on that Bengals defense, 0:08:17.699 --> 0:08:19.419 and the Steelers take this one. 0:08:19.699 --> 0:08:21.619 So I gotta admit the longer the week went on, 0:08:21.739 --> 0:08:24.979 I've grown increasingly uncomfortable with my own pick, and that 0:08:25.139 --> 0:08:26.779 is that the Bengals find a way to win this 0:08:26.819 --> 0:08:29.779 game and keep their season live twenty four to twenty 0:08:29.859 --> 0:08:32.459 in part because I'm not quite buying what Cynthia is 0:08:32.459 --> 0:08:36.859 selling with the Steelers' offense. Russell Wilson in the Steelers 0:08:36.899 --> 0:08:39.579 offense hasn't been running the ball well. Now that's not 0:08:39.619 --> 0:08:42.659 Wilson's fault, that's the offensive line, but it's been inconsistent. 0:08:42.699 --> 0:08:45.779 They had seven quarters without scoring a touchdown. Naje Harris 0:08:45.819 --> 0:08:48.739 not really getting it done in the red zone, Russell 0:08:48.739 --> 0:08:52.059 Wilson four to four to eleven in those seven quarters 0:08:52.099 --> 0:08:54.939 where they did not score a touchdown. And I think 0:08:54.979 --> 0:08:58.139 bringing in Justin Fields makes sense because he can be 0:08:58.499 --> 0:09:00.259 a weapon in the red zone. Maybe you don't want 0:09:00.259 --> 0:09:02.459 to use him on other parts of the field. I 0:09:02.459 --> 0:09:04.859 don't know, but the young offensive life that we thought 0:09:04.939 --> 0:09:07.859 was coming together hasn't been great. And I do think 0:09:08.099 --> 0:09:10.419 the Bengals get it done because of their offense. 0:09:10.579 --> 0:09:11.939 Yeah, I'm actually with Greg here. 0:09:12.179 --> 0:09:14.659 I think the Bengals win it twenty one to twenty 0:09:15.019 --> 0:09:17.219 finally a win because I went and looked at some headlines. 0:09:17.259 --> 0:09:22.379 The Arizona Republic called the Week ten game against. 0:09:21.419 --> 0:09:24.259 The Baltimore Ravens a must win. They lost. 0:09:25.019 --> 0:09:27.219 Then the Aflon Sports said it was a must win, 0:09:27.299 --> 0:09:28.379 and so far against. 0:09:28.139 --> 0:09:29.459 The Chargers they lost. 0:09:30.179 --> 0:09:32.659 This actually is a must win because I think their 0:09:32.699 --> 0:09:35.899 opportunity to go to the playoffs, the playoff percentage chances 0:09:36.059 --> 0:09:37.059 drops significantly. 0:09:37.499 --> 0:09:39.419 It helps. They have a really good player, Jamar. 0:09:39.179 --> 0:09:41.099 Chase, who has four in with ninety three yards after 0:09:41.099 --> 0:09:43.299 the catch this season. To compare that to a player 0:09:43.339 --> 0:09:46.099 who just has like Davante Adams, he has six more 0:09:46.139 --> 0:09:49.299 receiving yards than DeVante Adams does just with yards after 0:09:49.339 --> 0:09:51.739 the catch. I think the Bengals use that offense to 0:09:51.819 --> 0:09:53.419 go off against the Steelers team and get a win. 0:09:53.539 --> 0:09:56.459 So this is a prime number for since do the 0:09:56.499 --> 0:09:57.019 thing you. 0:09:56.979 --> 0:09:58.299 Know you love it, d D. 0:09:58.899 --> 0:10:00.739 I'm very happy about my prime number. 0:10:01.379 --> 0:10:02.259 Steelers Bengals. 0:10:02.499 --> 0:10:04.699 One of six divisional games in week thirteen and including 0:10:04.699 --> 0:10:07.819 in Kansas City where the Raiders had the arrowhead. 0:10:09.139 --> 0:10:09.419 Black. 0:10:09.459 --> 0:10:12.939 Friday Football on Prime is back. It's also here, Max Crosby. 0:10:13.059 --> 0:10:17.019 I'm here the Las Vegas Radars Raiders against Patrick Mahomes 0:10:17.219 --> 0:10:20.539 and the Kansas City Chiefs this Friday at three o'clock 0:10:20.579 --> 0:10:25.659 PM Eastern only on Prime Video. All right, rousing endorsement 0:10:25.699 --> 0:10:28.419 from the Raiders head coaches Don for quick picks. Greg, 0:10:28.459 --> 0:10:30.579 it looks like an O'Connell is bad for the Raiders. 0:10:30.619 --> 0:10:31.979 How does that impact your score? 0:10:32.779 --> 0:10:35.499 Not at all? Oh, twenty seven to seventeen. 0:10:35.659 --> 0:10:38.979 It's a bigger deal that Isaiah Pacheco is back on 0:10:39.019 --> 0:10:42.459 the field. He's here for the Chiefs this week. They 0:10:42.499 --> 0:10:45.659 need some explosions, especially in their backfield. Kareem Hunt came 0:10:45.699 --> 0:10:47.619 in has helped them out a lot think he'd be 0:10:47.619 --> 0:10:49.019 better used in short yardage. 0:10:49.059 --> 0:10:50.739 Maybe a little less is more situation. 0:10:50.979 --> 0:10:54.059 Pachecko can give you big plays in the passing game, 0:10:54.539 --> 0:10:56.859 big plays in the running game, and they just need 0:10:56.899 --> 0:11:00.819 some youth, some speed, some tackle breaking ability. This offense 0:11:00.819 --> 0:11:03.659 has been efficient, it has not been explosive Isaiah Pachecko 0:11:03.699 --> 0:11:06.859 can give you. And the casual way that Antonio Piers 0:11:06.859 --> 0:11:08.539 said they're the worst team in the league, it actually 0:11:08.579 --> 0:11:11.379 wasn't really a motivational thing. That's not making me feel 0:11:11.379 --> 0:11:12.499 good if I'm a Raiders fan. 0:11:12.739 --> 0:11:15.019 All right, let's go to Cyber Monday, Cynthia, where the. 0:11:16.739 --> 0:11:19.379 Very very red hot Denver Broncos are taking on the 0:11:19.419 --> 0:11:20.259 Cleveland Browns. 0:11:20.259 --> 0:11:21.139 What do you see happening? 0:11:21.179 --> 0:11:24.259 Ooh, I see a touchdown win. In my most normal 0:11:24.299 --> 0:11:27.819 football scorer of the entire week twenty four to seventeen, 0:11:28.379 --> 0:11:31.419 it's so interesting to watch what happens when bow Knicks 0:11:31.579 --> 0:11:35.059 targets Courtland Sutton on go routes, as in touchdowns, as 0:11:35.099 --> 0:11:37.899 in receptions, as in deep passes, as in all of 0:11:37.979 --> 0:11:40.579 the things that you like to see from more veteran quarterbacks. 0:11:40.739 --> 0:11:43.419 Bow Nix now has five games with two or more 0:11:43.459 --> 0:11:46.779 passing touchdowns without an interception. Does he make it six? 0:11:47.099 --> 0:11:50.019 This is a good opportunity, especially when he passes to 0:11:50.059 --> 0:11:51.179 Courtland Sutton. 0:11:51.179 --> 0:11:53.659 In the thick of that playoff race in the AFC. 0:11:53.739 --> 0:11:55.499 Let's finish things up in the AFC West with the 0:11:55.619 --> 0:11:58.299 Chargers in Atlanta to take on the Falcons, and we've 0:11:58.339 --> 0:12:01.219 all got the bolts in this one. I like the 0:12:01.299 --> 0:12:04.819 Chargers twenty two to nineteen with a due dude that's 0:12:04.859 --> 0:12:08.779 playing great ball right now, justin Herbert. I think his teammates, 0:12:09.139 --> 0:12:12.739 especially the pass catchers, actually catch the passes, have a 0:12:12.779 --> 0:12:15.699 bounce back performance in Atlanta, where the difficulties rushing the 0:12:15.739 --> 0:12:18.979 passer are well documented. And perhaps it was that performance 0:12:19.019 --> 0:12:21.859 in Denver that has convinced all of us to take 0:12:21.899 --> 0:12:22.859 the Chargers here. 0:12:22.979 --> 0:12:25.779 Wow, on the road, Falcons fans, you're right, we don't 0:12:25.819 --> 0:12:26.419 believe in you. 0:12:26.659 --> 0:12:30.699 This is how I'm surprised, none of us in a vacuum. 0:12:30.339 --> 0:12:34.139 In this game. We're not making overall commentary about the franchise. 0:12:33.939 --> 0:12:36.579 Now, but I am about the twenty twenty four Falcons. 0:12:36.579 --> 0:12:38.579 I don't believe in them. Bucks win the division. 0:12:38.859 --> 0:12:41.459 That's Greg, that's not us. The statements represented by Greg 0:12:41.539 --> 0:12:42.339 Rosenthal only. 0:12:42.219 --> 0:12:45.779 Represent they don't have a lot of fond memories of 0:12:45.819 --> 0:12:49.339 Patriots football. Vince Wilford causing commands but to move at 0:12:49.379 --> 0:12:52.619 such a velocity that Mark Sanchez fumbled and Rex Ryan 0:12:52.779 --> 0:12:55.739 had another one of his sixty six career losses that 0:12:55.899 --> 0:12:59.019 was great, the Buck fumble and Classic Thanksgiving. We're just 0:12:59.099 --> 0:13:02.259 hours away from the John Madden Thanksgiving celebration. 0:13:04.659 --> 0:13:07.419 Three games on Thanksgiving. The NFL Network has got you 0:13:07.539 --> 0:13:08.539 covered all day. 0:13:08.579 --> 0:13:10.939 Wake up Well, Good Morning Football at eight am, followed 0:13:10.939 --> 0:13:11.779 by Game Day Morning. 0:13:11.819 --> 0:13:14.139 Cynthia will be there, so you should watch that show. 0:13:14.419 --> 0:13:16.859 Then Cash Game Day Highlights after the Lions and the 0:13:16.899 --> 0:13:21.659 Cowboys games, and Game Day Final with Me after the Packers. 0:13:21.819 --> 0:13:23.739 Fear not. Greg Rosenthal doesn't have the day off. 0:13:23.739 --> 0:13:27.339 He's recording NFL Daily from home, which we occasionally let 0:13:27.419 --> 0:13:29.819 Greg go to that place like and subscribe. 0:13:30.299 --> 0:13:31.219 Everybody, Thank you. 0:13:31.539 --> 0:13:34.539 It's Sign for Mike, presented by the Wells Fargo Active 0:13:34.579 --> 0:13:39.939 Cash credit Card collective Willpower as we get to look 0:13:40.019 --> 0:13:43.699 at some really good duos six hundred rushing yards and 0:13:43.779 --> 0:13:48.899 ten or more rushing touchdowns. The only one team represented 0:13:48.939 --> 0:13:52.059 on this board twice, and that is Cynthia Freeland's Detroit 0:13:52.219 --> 0:13:54.779 Lions the question as we get to this guy or 0:13:54.779 --> 0:13:57.779 that guy, Cynthia, which one of the Lions running backs 0:13:57.819 --> 0:13:59.859 gets into the end zone against Chicago? 0:14:00.459 --> 0:14:02.419 Both of them. Oh, but the one that I want 0:14:02.459 --> 0:14:05.339 to talk about is Jimier Gibbs in this matchup. Why 0:14:05.539 --> 0:14:08.259 it's all about those explosive runs. It's all about the 0:14:08.339 --> 0:14:11.179 potential in the pass catching game. I like both of 0:14:11.219 --> 0:14:13.419 the I truly actually do like both of them to 0:14:13.419 --> 0:14:15.299 get in the end zone. I'm always a little worried 0:14:15.499 --> 0:14:17.739 when someone leaves with an injury, even if they say 0:14:17.979 --> 0:14:20.859 that they that they're going, they could have come back 0:14:20.859 --> 0:14:23.339 in But for the score. However, I think that the 0:14:23.419 --> 0:14:25.899 Jamiir Gibbs, He's my second highest rated running back for 0:14:26.139 --> 0:14:29.979 the entire week. So I mean, and with celebrations like this, 0:14:30.139 --> 0:14:30.699 what could go wrong? 0:14:30.779 --> 0:14:34.259 My son drafted both Jamir Gibbs and David Montgomery Walker's 0:14:34.259 --> 0:14:35.699 here today, and they scored. 0:14:35.459 --> 0:14:38.739 A touchdown together in nine weeks this season, so as 0:14:38.779 --> 0:14:39.659 a winning strategy. 0:14:39.659 --> 0:14:41.539 My only beef there is they played the ram. 0:14:41.659 --> 0:14:45.379 You gotta do that celebration against an LA team, so 0:14:45.419 --> 0:14:48.779 you can step over Tyron either way. Greg Ceedee Lamb 0:14:48.979 --> 0:14:52.779 and Malik Neighbors, both playing with backup quarterbacks, which one 0:14:52.979 --> 0:14:54.459 is more likely to get more than six. 0:14:54.979 --> 0:14:56.059 I think it's Ceedee Lamb. 0:14:56.099 --> 0:14:59.339 I like the way Mike McCarthy used Cede Lamb early 0:14:59.379 --> 0:14:59.819 in that game. 0:14:59.899 --> 0:15:03.019 Louvium all around. He's been criticized for that, and last 0:15:03.019 --> 0:15:05.179 week CD played a lot of energy. 0:15:05.219 --> 0:15:07.859 He's got a back like an armadillo, as Dan Campbell 0:15:07.899 --> 0:15:09.139 was saying there, I don't know if you guys have 0:15:09.179 --> 0:15:12.179 ever seen an armadillo in person. Very strange animals, not 0:15:12.219 --> 0:15:16.219 what you expect, much less athletic and cool to watch 0:15:16.899 --> 0:15:19.379 compared to CD League. A lot of times single coverage 0:15:19.419 --> 0:15:21.059 the Giants, Leviyan like man to man. 0:15:21.099 --> 0:15:22.219 That's not gonna work against CD. 0:15:22.339 --> 0:15:24.659 Yeah, it doesn't work against Cooper Rush either. It completed 0:15:24.659 --> 0:15:27.179 all these passes against van coverage last week. I gave 0:15:27.219 --> 0:15:29.259 Greg that one so I could take this one. Tyreek 0:15:29.379 --> 0:15:33.059 or Jayden Reid to catch a touchdown on Thanksgiving. I 0:15:33.259 --> 0:15:35.659 like Tyreek Hill. I recognize that he hasn't gotten in 0:15:35.699 --> 0:15:38.099 the end zone a lot recently, but neither has Jayden Reid. 0:15:38.259 --> 0:15:41.659 And with Jalen Waddell demanding more attention after his huge 0:15:41.659 --> 0:15:44.299 game last week, as well as the emergence of John 0:15:44.339 --> 0:15:44.859 hu Smith. 0:15:45.219 --> 0:15:47.539 I think that there's more attention. 0:15:47.259 --> 0:15:49.179 That has to be paid to the other pass catchers, 0:15:49.419 --> 0:15:51.739 and maybe Tyreek gets in the paint and tries to 0:15:51.779 --> 0:15:55.179 take a leap in Lambeau as well. Looking forward to 0:15:55.299 --> 0:15:59.419 those games, and folks, we're looking forward to Game Day morning. 0:15:59.139 --> 0:16:01.419 Coming up Thursday at ten am Eastern. 0:16:01.739 --> 0:16:05.979 Rich Eisen, Steve Mariucci, Kurt Warner, Cynthia Freeland, who has 0:16:06.019 --> 0:16:07.139 pictured on this graphic. 0:16:07.499 --> 0:16:09.619 There's less maybe on this week. I like it. 0:16:09.699 --> 0:16:12.499 Maybe not as tall as things were last week. 0:16:12.539 --> 0:16:13.739 Colleen is taller than I. 0:16:14.059 --> 0:16:14.859 It's getting it's a. 0:16:14.899 --> 0:16:16.059 Large version of Colleen. 0:16:16.259 --> 0:16:18.419 The whole squad gets you set for all the games, 0:16:18.739 --> 0:16:20.379 and that's on the third end. 0:16:20.419 --> 0:16:20.539 Well. 0:16:20.619 --> 0:16:25.379 John Madden Thanksgiving celebration Live reports from Bears, Lions and Giants, Cowboys, 0:16:25.419 --> 0:16:27.699 plus a look back at some of John Madden's most 0:16:27.699 --> 0:16:32.379 memorable calls. Thursday at ten am Eastern. Also featured on 0:16:32.379 --> 0:16:35.219 that graphic, Kurt Warner his Rams in New Orleans. The 0:16:35.299 --> 0:16:37.859 Saints are home underdogs. Both teams need a win to 0:16:37.859 --> 0:16:40.419 stay in the mix for a playoff spot, which one gets. 0:16:40.299 --> 0:16:42.379 At Cynthia, Okay, so in my regular model, I have 0:16:42.419 --> 0:16:44.659 a Rams win by one point. I've been playing with 0:16:44.739 --> 0:16:46.979 this Ats model because we're allowed to talk about that 0:16:47.019 --> 0:16:49.539 this year, and in that one, the Rams win by 0:16:49.619 --> 0:16:53.219 even more. I feel very strongly about that. Why because 0:16:53.259 --> 0:16:57.659 of Yack both yards after the catch and yards after contact. 0:16:57.819 --> 0:17:00.539 This is a team in the Saints, and even though 0:17:00.539 --> 0:17:03.779 they had the like the Rizzy infusion of excitement, they 0:17:03.859 --> 0:17:07.499 still have been missing tackles at an extremely high rate 0:17:07.739 --> 0:17:10.379 in both phases of the game. You are seeing Pukinakua 0:17:10.459 --> 0:17:12.739 right now. We could also be showing Cooper Cup. We 0:17:12.739 --> 0:17:15.259 could also be showing Kyron Williams. Heck, we could even 0:17:15.299 --> 0:17:18.459 show a tight end in the situation. So ultimately, it 0:17:18.539 --> 0:17:22.019 is the opportunity for the playmakers to get yards after 0:17:22.419 --> 0:17:24.379 whatever thing they're trying to do, be it a run 0:17:24.499 --> 0:17:26.499 or a pass. That informs this one for me. 0:17:26.659 --> 0:17:29.979 You know, I see Rams Saints in the Superdome and 0:17:30.019 --> 0:17:31.419 I think super Bowl. 0:17:31.779 --> 0:17:33.099 No, I don't think that's happening. 0:17:33.099 --> 0:17:34.899 But they have played big games, you know what I'm 0:17:34.899 --> 0:17:36.459 talking about, the NFC champions. 0:17:36.499 --> 0:17:38.259 Oh no, let's just take it back. 0:17:38.859 --> 0:17:43.219 This one a troubling moment in boy NFL history. Frankly, 0:17:43.259 --> 0:17:45.979 I always wonder would the Saints have beaten those Patriots 0:17:46.019 --> 0:17:47.819 that year in the Super Bowl. 0:17:47.899 --> 0:17:49.259 I think they would have had a chance. 0:17:49.299 --> 0:17:52.579
