And gentlemen, when you lose your offensive 30 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: coordinator in offseason, that's stuff. When you lose your defensive 31 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: coordinator in offseason, that's rough. Then you lose your passing 32 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: game coordinator Tanner Extra and he's gone too. And the 33 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: worst part is the offensive coordinator that you lost just 34 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: went in the division and became the head coach, and 35 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: now you gotta change the whole playbook. Terrell Furman Junior. 36 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: I think the Detroit Lions are going through it right now. 37 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: They still got a great roster, they still got a 38 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: lot going for them. But this is a lot of 39 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: chit chit chich changes in one offseason. 40 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of changes and a lot of optimism 41 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: that they're just gonna pick it up and go right 42 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: where they left off. And they might go right where 43 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: they left off, because the last thing that we saw 44 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: from them was them getting destroyed by the Commanders, So 45 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: it might. I don't want to jump into it too much, 46 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: but I'll say this is that I change comes with 47 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: a lot of things, and with change, it's going to 48 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: be either positive or negative reaction. I think it's a 49 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: lot of negative reaction here. The Lions looked unbeatable for 50 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: a good portion of that season last year. I don't 51 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: think they're gonna look like that next year. 52 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: I can't believe this. Terrell and I starting off holding hands. 53 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: Usually we just argue on the show for thirty minutes. 54 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: Today we're in agreement. I think it's too much. I 55 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: really do in this cock eyed optimism Andrew that everything's 56 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: just fine in Detroit. I don't share it. I know 57 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: they had a lot of injuries last year, especially in 58 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: the defensive side, and E wants to make excuses, But 59 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: the one excuse that you know you can't make anymore 60 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: is that, well, you don't have enough big game experience here. 61 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: Because Dan Campbell every time he gets into big games, 62 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: those teams don't seem prepared or they don't seem to 63 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: make the right decisions. And now you got to make 64 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: more decisions with a bunch of new offensive and defensive coordinators. 65 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: And I keep coming back to that same thing as like, 66 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: you know the guy who you're gonna play twice now, 67 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson in Chicago, he knows exactly what you do. 68 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: You got to change a lot of what you do, 69 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the verbiage of what you do, otherwise 70 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: they might be able to upset you for one of 71 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: those games, if not two. I'm just saying, when they 72 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: understand your game plan, your playbook, that's really tough. And 73 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm not saying like that's the end all be all. 74 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: The lines are still a great roster. But we've seen 75 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: historically when teams lose Super Bowls and lose coordinators, or 76 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: win Super Bowls and lose coordinators all of a sudden 77 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: next year, they don't look the same. This team didn't 78 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: even get to a Super Bowl and they lost their coordinators. 79 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of moving pieces with the twenty 80 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: twenty five Detroit Lions, highlighted by the coordinators leaving passing 81 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: game coordinators. But I look at it from that's nothing. 82 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: The extent you see center Frank Ragno, he's gone. How 83 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: good is this offensive line if they hit one or 84 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: two injuries. I know you talked about at the beginning. 85 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: Their defense just absolutely ravaged by injuries last year, but 86 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: their offense stayed pretty healthy for the majority of the season. 87 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: So if that flips, well, if I'm a backer of 88 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 3: the Lions, I would rather have their offense stay healthy 89 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: and their defense be terrible again and get injured, because 90 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: we see year over year what's stickier. Good offenses continue 91 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: to be good, whereas defenses fluctuate a little bit more so, 92 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: even if the defense improves but then the offense gets 93 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: a little bit more banged up, I think that's going 94 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: to result in probably more losses in that particular column. 95 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: So I would like to give more credit to Dan 96 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 3: Campbell because I do think that he is a good 97 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 3: head coach, and we look at his against the spread record. 98 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 3: I mean he's number one. He's been number one basically 99 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 3: since that mid season point during I think his rookie 100 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 3: year as the head coach, and he's always performed above expectation. 101 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 3: But now the hand that he's dealt. I think that 102 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: this is like when you highlight regression, it's just a 103 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 3: picture of the twenty twenty five Lions, just everything kind 104 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 3: of coming back down to earth. So, even though they'll 105 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: be competitive, I don't want to be on the overside 106 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: and optimistic side of them this year. 107 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, more on this as we get to the division 108 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: winner here, but first let's get to the Chicago Bears 109 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: new head coach Ben Johnson. I think he's a good 110 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: offensive mind. I'm still not sold that he's a head 111 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: coach in this league. We'll see. But Keenan Allen's gone, 112 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: Luther Burden was drafted Kyle Manongui, who I like a lot. 113 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be the David Montgomery in 114 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: this offense personally, ericson the Bears have a lot of turnover, 115 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: a lot of change. I know there's a lot of 116 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: optimism that things are going to get better and they 117 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: probably can't get much worse now. The Bears defensively kind 118 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: of competitive, there offensively hot mess, no instruction going on 119 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: for a young quarterback. You hope that that change, but 120 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: the question is how long does it take to really 121 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: put that all into effect? For the Caleb Williams Ben 122 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: Johnson new regime change. 123 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: Well, if you're a Bears fan or part of the 124 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 3: Bears roster hoping, it's Week one against the Vikings on 125 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: Monday Night football at Soldier Field, So they're really hoping 126 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 3: that Ben Johnson has this immediate effect on Caleb Williams, 127 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: who we think that has potential former number one overall pick. 128 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 3: Last year was obviously a disaster, but there were still 129 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 3: plays and highlights that Caleb show that he can make 130 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: special plays outside the pocket. Now, ben Johnson coming in, 131 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 3: I think to just give him a little bit more layups. 132 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: I'll get into it a little bit more, but the 133 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 3: Bears were one of the worst teams in the first 134 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: quarter last year. Basically they would always open up down 135 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: seven points, down ten points because they weren't putting Caleb 136 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: Williams in situations to succeed. Early on, he wasn't able 137 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: to develop momentum, and then it would be him dropping 138 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 3: back forty plus times in the second half of tragedy 139 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 3: rallies team back from defeat. So I think that Ben 140 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 3: Johnson is gonna have a positive impact. I think that 141 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 3: the other additions you didn't mention offensive line like that 142 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 3: was the first thing they hit in free agency. They 143 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 3: were not messing around that. We're not doing what we 144 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 3: did last year. We need to bowls of the offense line, 145 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 3: we have to protect Kayleb Williams so he can make 146 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: plays from the pocket, and I do think defensively, the 147 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 3: personnel is still pretty good. I think last year the 148 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 3: defensive collapse was more related to there was a new 149 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 3: head coach basically every single week, and the defense was 150 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 3: getting frustrated with how bad the offense was and it 151 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 3: just kind of just was an absolute mess. So bringing 152 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: in Dennis Allen, who again not a great head coach, 153 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 3: but as a defensive coordinator, okay, I like him in 154 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: that position with Ben Johnson, So I think that this 155 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 3: roster is pretty solid and if Kabobs can't take that 156 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: leap in his second year, still young quarterback, the Bears 157 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: could be really exciting. 158 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: All right, Terrelle, what's your take on the Bears who 159 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: have a new coach, new offensive line, but a second 160 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: year quarterback who certainly did struggle last season. 161 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: I'm not optimistic at all. Honestly, it looks good on 162 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: paper and sure, but it showed me better than you 163 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 2: could tell me because I want to see it. I 164 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 2: want to see Dennis Allin be a great defensive coordinator 165 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: because I think that we're remembering the Didnis Allent defensive 166 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: coordinator run a little bit differently. He was a pretty 167 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: okay defensive coordinator for a lot of that run until 168 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 2: COVID happened. Then COVID happened and it got a lot better. 169 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: The defense actually started doing something, and it transitioned into 170 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 2: him taking over the interim jobs and being the head 171 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: coach of the team. And so I'm like, all right, 172 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: we have the recency of that, but we haven't seen 173 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: it as him as a DC. He was kind of 174 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: the head coach at that point. By the time the 175 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: defense started rolling, he was kind of running the whole 176 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: old team. So is this is that gonna come over 177 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 2: and transfer over to this Bears defense that does have talent. 178 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: I admit they have talent, but I just don't know 179 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: if it's gonna transfer over day one, maybe year two, 180 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 2: maybe a little bit closer to the beg end of 181 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: the year. But like right off the rip, I think 182 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: the Bears defense actually is gonna have some growing pains 183 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 2: as they're switching over to a new system playing under 184 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: Jen Sullen and figuring it out, and I think that's 185 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: gonna hinder your win total. I mean, maybe Caleb Williams 186 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: and this offense looks great, and maybe Ben Johnson comes 187 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: over here and absolutely takes over it and is everything 188 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 2: that we said Kayle Williams was gonna be. But kay 189 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: Williams still holds the ball too long, yes, and he's 190 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 2: still and he still makes horrible decisions when he gets 191 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: downfield and he gets pressure. So I really, I really don't. 192 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: I'm not there on the on the brown not Browns. 193 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: The Yeah, the Freudian slip already happening, but yeah, nah man, 194 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 2: I'm not there on the Bears yet, like it sounds 195 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: on paper, but somebody in this division has to be bad. 196 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 2: So the Bears are okay. That means that the Packers 197 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 2: and the Lions just have to completely bottom out. And 198 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna completely bottom out. Maybe not 199 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: as good as last year, but they're not gonna bottom out. 200 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 2: So I think the Bears are gonna look okay at moments, 201 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 2: maybe that they're close to a five hundred record, but 202 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna be this all great scene. 203 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: More covers than wins. That's what I think. And you 204 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: know what, the first thing you gotta do is just 205 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: get Caleb Williams getting rid of the football quickly. Keep 206 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: it simple, getting rid of the football quickly, easy looks, understanding, 207 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: you know where to go to the football in this scenario, 208 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: in that scenario, in this down like whatever. 209 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: That is just it's two second year with a new offense. 210 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. But tune him into the NFL, because 211 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: that's what he's got to get tuned into. The stuff 212 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: can get away with college when you run twenty yards 213 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: deep in the backfield, is not gonna get it done 214 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. Minnesota, perhaps I can tempt to roll for 215 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: some excitement there because that's where my excitement begins. I 216 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: saw last year Sam Darnold get dropped in and all 217 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden, make this team a playoff team. And 218 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The Vikings defense pretty good. Jordan 219 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: Mason added for depth at the RB position. I really 220 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: like that offseason move. But it's really just JJ McCarthy 221 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: now taking over the rains at you be, And I'm 222 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: very confident. I like McCarthy. I think he's a winner. 223 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: I think he's got the right kind of attitude. I 224 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a little bit of russ for 225 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: not playing for a year. I think he needs to 226 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: play in preseason. Hopefully they do play him more. But Terrell, 227 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: to me, I think Minnesota is the sneaky pick here 228 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: in this division. I think not that it's necessarily like 229 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: addition here, it's just like this is your franchise quarterback 230 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: and turning over the rains to him. With Kevin McCarthy, 231 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: who's such a good Kevin o'connaugh excuse me, who's such 232 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: a good head coach? I did it. I did it 233 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: now McCarthy Kevin O'Connell, who is such a good head 234 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: coach that I think it's gonna take a little bit 235 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: of time in September, but once the training wheels comes off, 236 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be big time here for the 237 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. But what do you think, team? 238 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: So this is like when you're in college and you 239 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 2: take that class the first time around and it's just 240 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 2: it's not going the way he's supposed to go, and 241 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: you either withdraw you might actually flow in the class, 242 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: but like this is this is on the credit sheet. 243 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: You need this on your credit that you need those 244 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 2: credit hours, so you gotta take that class again. Well, 245 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: guess what, it's a lot easier this time around because 246 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: you said everything the first time, like he was there 247 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 2: with the team and even though he was hurt, he 248 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 2: was getting all the learning and bringing in all that information. 249 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 2: And at this point I have faith in O'Connell because 250 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: he signed Daniel Jones and thought he could do something 251 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: with that and he felt very confident when he did it. 252 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 2: And if you have that type of confidence in you 253 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: as a coach, I just have to assume that maybe 254 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: this Vikings thing that happened last year wasn't just a thing. 255 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: Maybe this is how the Vikings are actually going to be. 256 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 2: And right now they're four to one the wind of 257 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: the division. I like the Vikings to go over their 258 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: win total. Is McCarthy good, I don't know, but I 259 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: know Sam Darnold isn't good and they still made playoffs, 260 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: so I'm very much good taking the over on this 261 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: win total is less about that and more about Brian 262 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: Floores in the defense. Yeah, he had the defense balling 263 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: last year. Now they're a little thin at corner right now, 264 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 2: but I don't think that matters because he just gets 265 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: the top tier play out of the talent that he has. 266 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: They have Isaiah Rodgers right now, and he likes him. 267 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: He thinks that he can be a really, really good 268 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: corner in his system. And so if Brian Flores is 269 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: very very optimistic about the defense, continue to do what 270 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: they did last year, create turnovers, create a bunch of 271 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 2: have it over the course of the season, and just 272 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: make JJ and JJ do enough. You don't got to 273 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 2: do a lot, but JJ and JJ just got to 274 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 2: do enough. Then Yeah, I think the Vikings are going 275 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 2: to be good. So give me the over on the 276 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: win total. I think they have a shot to win 277 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: the division. 278 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: Oh, we're gonna get to those win totals in the 279 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: second ericson, I want to know your take here because 280 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: Floras did not jump ship right he is back. Continue 281 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: is important head coach coordinators, everybody coming back here. And look, 282 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: at least McCarthy was around the system last year, you know, 283 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: learning and kind of seeing. You probably would have been 284 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: red shirted anyway in his rookie season for at least 285 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: a good chunk of it. So it sucks he wasn't 286 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: on the field. 're able to take the reps. But 287 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: a full healthy offseason now a full regular camp. There's 288 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: reason to be optimistic here, I think about the Vikings. 289 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 3: I think there is, but there's also some pessimism regarding 290 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: him coming off a season ending injury. He's coming off 291 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 3: a torn meniscus, talking about he missed all the physical 292 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 3: reps last offseasons. So even if he was there mentally, 293 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 3: you know, his body wasn't necessarily there with him along 294 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: the way. And we know what he did at Michigan. 295 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 3: It wasn't a lot of dropbacks. They ran the ball 296 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: a lot, And to I think a point that you 297 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 3: made earlier, Joe about the Vikings, I don't think they 298 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: lean on him as much to start the year. I 299 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: think they bolster the interior offensive line because it acquired 300 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 3: Jordan Mason, because I want to run the football and 301 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: let's ease our young quarterback coming off a knee injury. 302 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: Let's ease him in. We don't need to put everything 303 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 3: on him. The system is so good. He just has 304 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 3: to make a couple key throws, be efficient, not turn 305 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 3: the ball over, and will win games. So I think 306 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 3: that the Vikings are a team that maybe for the 307 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: first month they're still kind of figuring things out because 308 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: I agree that he needs to play in the preseason. 309 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 3: He needs to get more live game reps till he 310 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 3: gets up to the speed. I think the Vikings are 311 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 3: going to be a team that's in the conversation for 312 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: the playoffs for the division as they kind of hit 313 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 3: their stride down in the second half of the year. 314 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 3: So I'm also pretty optimistic about the Bikings. I think that, 315 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 3: again McCarthy hits, this team could win thirteen fourteen games, 316 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,599 Speaker 3: like we've seen with O'Connell the last couple of seasons. 317 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I Look again, I lost spoil things. 318 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: Let's keep going. Let's talk about the Packers here. Offseason 319 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: for them. Jira Alexander gone to Baltimore as of there, 320 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: I mean a couple of years ago. But look, he's 321 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: been hurt. So look, Matthew Golden was the big draft 322 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: pick for them in the first round. But Ericson, you know, look, 323 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: last year was a lot of injuries. Jordan Love was 324 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: playing hurt most of the year. Things just did not 325 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: go their way. In the year before everything did go 326 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: their way. So now it's a question of Okay, which 327 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: one are you? Who do you think the Packers are. 328 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: I think that their team that's going to lean more 329 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 3: on Jordan Love healthy this year. I think they're going 330 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: to lean more on his arm this year, But I 331 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 3: don't know if that's going to necessarily translate to win 332 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: because I think this defense is horrible up and down 333 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 3: the ross. They needed to draft edge rushers, they needed 334 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 3: to draft secondary pieces, and they just drafted wide receivers 335 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 3: in this year's draft. They had clear their needs. So 336 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 3: I have concerns that the Packers are going to be 337 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: a team that maybe they're really fun for fantasy where 338 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 3: they're playing shootouts left and right at lambeau Field, where 339 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 3: it's significantly cult that is here in New England, But 340 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 3: is that one always translates to wins, especially if Love 341 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 3: is pushing the narrative and maybe he's turning the ball 342 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 3: over a lot, because we know we've seen that with 343 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 3: him when he likes to drop back and sling it. 344 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's really fun and sometimes it's, oh, well, there 345 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 3: goes another pick six interception for Jordan Love. So I 346 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 3: think that the line is pretty spot on. They're gonna 347 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 3: be in games, They're going to be competitive, but I 348 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: think I lean towards the under well. 349 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: Terrell, I can understand, you know, wanting to run the 350 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: football and play defense. We know they can run the football, 351 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: they can do the former. Can they do the latter? 352 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: Oh? Good luck? 353 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 2: I mean good luck. If any game I think they win, 354 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 2: they're they're gonna win because they somehow put up thirty 355 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 2: points in a game. And Josh Jacobs has some great 356 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: running game, and I mean that's what they did. They 357 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: committed to the running game here and there. He tried 358 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: to make some additions along the offensive line. But there's 359 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: a lot of changes here. It's a lot of changes. 360 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 2: Now you're shifting around players on the offensive line. You've 361 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: got they're a Progo guard Jenkins, he's the center. Now 362 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: what that's not? Okay? That's a Pro Bowl guard and 363 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 2: now he's your center. So guess what you have at guard? 364 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 2: Not a Pro Bowl guard? Like that's very very concerning here. 365 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: It's too many ships around the offensive line that just 366 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: make me think the Packers are gonna be anything consistent here. 367 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: So I don't know, maybe they do bottom out. Actually, 368 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: all right, let's look. 369 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: At the wind totals before we do.

All right, let's look at the win 386 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: totals here for these teams in the NFC North Division, 387 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: and the Chicago Bears fluctuate between six and a half, 388 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: eight and a half, ten and a half. Terrell, what's 389 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: the sweet spot for you when you look at the 390 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, where do you feel comfortable with this win total. 391 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 2: I think under eight and a half is where I'm 392 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: at me too. I think they're okay. I think they're okay. 393 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: I don't think that they're gonna be in the playoff discussion, 394 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 2: but I think that they'll play hard enough where they're like, hey, 395 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 2: let's let's go for it. 396 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: Go for it. 397 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 2: And then it's gonna be a loss here and I 398 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 2: lost there. Like I'm not one hundred percent sold on 399 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 2: the defense. The defense may get better as this season 400 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 2: goes on, but there's gonna be a couple of games 401 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: early where I think that it's gonna be some confusion 402 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: they and then it's how good is Caleb Williams? 403 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: Really? 404 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: How good can Caleb Williams be? Because this is like 405 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 2: being a rookie all over again. You got a new 406 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 2: head coach, you have a new offensive system. If you 407 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: were feeling comfortable at any point, and I'm sure he 408 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: wasn't of that last offensive system, it's completely out the 409 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 2: window and you got to figure it out. And they're 410 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 2: trying to get you to stop holding on the ball 411 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 2: so long. So like, yeah, no, I don't think the 412 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: Bears are any fun. I think that it's going to 413 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: be them in the Packers towards the bottom of this division, 414 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 2: So I will take under eight and a half wins, all. 415 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: Right, ericson, I'm where Trella is and it's again frustrating 416 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: when he and I agree because it doesn't always happen 417 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: here on the program. So I think that's worth noting. 418 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: I think the Bears will be better. Will they be 419 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: really good? I don't know. Will they be a team 420 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: with a winning record. I don't think they're quite there yet. 421 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: But what do you think about this Bears win total? 422 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: Where is your happy place? 423 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 3: I am taking the over bearing down over eight and 424 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 3: a half wins plus one thirty. I'm just buying the 425 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 3: Ben Johnson bump. 426 00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: Again. 427 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 3: We're talking about we have the O'Connell system taking JJ 428 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 3: McCarthy to the next level, and you're his second season. 429 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 3: He didn't play it all last year. Caleb Wimas least 430 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 3: played football last year and did show flashes. Again, wasn't perfect, 431 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 3: but just the point of getting those early game layups 432 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 3: that's gonna be part of this offense that was non 433 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 3: existent in the offense last year. And I think just 434 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 3: in the discussion we talked about both the Packers and Lions. 435 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 3: It seems like both you agree those teams are going 436 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 3: to take steps back. So if we have two teams 437 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 3: stepping back, we have another team that has a quarterback 438 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 3: who's never played in the NFL, and then Caleb Williams 439 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: entering his year two number one overall pick. That's where 440 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 3: I'm gonna put my money. Gimme me Kay Williams and 441 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 3: the Bears over eight and a half wins. 442 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: All right, Detroit Lions? Where do you want to go 443 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: with them? Ericson? For me, the happy place I think 444 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: is the juice is too much for the over eight 445 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: and a half. I think they're probably a ten to 446 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: eleven win team. I'm guessing the over at ten and 447 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: a half is probably the point where I am the 448 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: most comfortable. You're getting plus one oh five there if 449 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: you want to go under ten and a half wins, 450 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 1: though it's minus one twenty five, I don't want to 451 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: touch the twelve and a half. I'll be honest with 452 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: you there. The year's no love for the under. With 453 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: the juice there and the over twelve and a half wins, 454 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: I just don't feel comfortable with so Ericson, where do 455 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: you fall when it comes to Detroit Lions in twenty 456 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: twenty five. 457 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 3: If it forced me to make a pick here, I'm 458 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 3: going to go under ten and a half at minus 459 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 3: one twenty five. I will say that this is probably 460 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 3: more of a shyaway spot for me because Dan Campbell 461 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 3: is the king against the spread. He's been absolutely dynamite 462 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 3: against the spread, and betting against him has been a 463 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 3: losing strategy. So just keep that in mind. But all 464 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: the factors we mentioned earlier, and then the other thing 465 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 3: that's different from last year was the schedule. I remember 466 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: looking at last year's schedule for the Lions, all that 467 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 3: did was playing doors. They never played games outside and 468 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 3: bad whether this year they play six road outdoor games 469 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 3: against teams that all had winning records last season and 470 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 3: they're not good. Yeah, was just let's say they're a 471 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 3: good scene and they're playing good teams on the road outdoors. 472 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 3: So just another factor to be look the Lions again, 473 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 3: I think when we look up, we're gonna see them 474 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 3: as a good team. But will that be reflective in 475 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 3: the win loss? I don't think so. So for me, 476 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: it's going to be the under all right, So uh. 477 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: I think they can squeak out eleven wins, but again, 478 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,479 Speaker 1: it's more of a stay away from me than anything. 479 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: When it comes to the Lions this year, Terrell, do 480 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: you feel comfortable with one of these win totals here? 481 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 2: Yeah? I like the under I think they're exactly a 482 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 2: ten win team here, and it was it was a 483 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 2: lot of it. It's a couple of outdoor games here, 484 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: and those road games are really tough. They're going on 485 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: the road to Baltimore, Kansas City, Washington, and Philly this year. 486 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 2: That's not that's not an easy path, especially with the 487 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 2: Philly game in December. I for one, No, I'm a 488 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 2: big baby in the cold. So you would never catch 489 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: me at Philadelphia at a game in November. You would 490 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: not catch me at a game in Philadelphia November. 491 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: It's not even that cold in November. 492 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 2: What do you can and but Jared are the same person. 493 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 2: Jared Goff and I are the same person. We don't 494 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 2: like the cold. 495 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: We don't like it's like fifty five sixty degrees. 496 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 3: You're in a it's a night game, that's so it's 497 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 3: gonna be freezing. 498 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: Maybe you got you guys, Look, I can't do it. 499 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 2: I hate the blanket. For the rest of the show, 500 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 2: but for real, the outdoor conditions and not just Jared Goll, 501 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 2: but it goes to the kicking as well, and and 502 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 2: all of that you have to worry about those like 503 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: wind and maybe a windy game like they there was 504 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 2: so many external conditions that they had over the course 505 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: of that season that they just didn't have to worry about. 506 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 2: And now you do. Haven't played some of these read games, 507 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: and that's going to add to your losses on your total. 508 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 2: And then I think that it is going to be 509 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 2: a competitive division as well. So yeah, I think they're 510 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 2: actually a ten win team. They probably come right in 511 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: here at ten wins and it's a really good sweat here. 512 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take me under, all right. The Green 513 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: Bay Packers are next up, Terrell, and again their win totally. 514 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: You'll get seven and a half, nine and a half, 515 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: eleven and a half. Where's the sweet spot for. 516 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: You with the pack under under under under. 517 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: Underwa that's the question. I mean, you want to go 518 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: under nine? 519 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 2: Mind taking all of it? I wouldn't mind taking all 520 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 2: of it, I really wouldn't. 521 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: Well, the only value is on the under nine and 522 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: a half. That's the only undervalue. 523 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 2: Is that really the only undervalue at nine and night 524 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 2: Halo because seven and a half is plus two forty 525 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: And if you told me that, I don't think Jordan 526 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 2: Love is taking a positive step forward this year. I 527 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: think he's, if anything, he's exactly where he's been at 528 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 2: or worse. And so if he's exactly where he's been 529 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: at or worse, the offensive line is questionable. The defense 530 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 2: is like I I said, the Packers might not bought 531 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: him out, but there's a good possibility that they bought 532 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 2: him out here. I don't think the defense is gonna 533 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: save them in any games. Any way they get a 534 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 2: win is if Jordan Love decides to wake up in 535 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and do some heroics. But like other 536 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 2: than that, if they're down in a game, I don't 537 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 2: know how they're gonna come back. Because Jordan Love's going 538 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 2: to turn the ball over. We understand that's who he 539 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 2: is and we accept him for it. He's going to 540 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 2: have turnovers. We're going to bet the over half of 541 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 2: interception every single game, Like that's going to happen the 542 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: first day. I'm gonna to talk to you about Jordan 543 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: Love's over half interception as long as this reasonably places. 544 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 2: So yeah, give me all the unders. I think plus 545 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 2: two forty on under seven and a half wins. If 546 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: they come in as seven wins here and they gotta 547 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 2: figure things out and revamp everything, and their fans are 548 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 2: calling for him to talk about head coaches and GMS firing, 549 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised. So yeah, maybe the backers do 550 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 2: bought them out here. 551 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: If they bought them out, it's gonna because they got 552 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: off to a bad start, because there's some winnable games there. 553 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: I think early on for them, Arizona Cleveland, right, I 554 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 1: mean some of those games are a little tough. 555 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 3: Though. 556 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: They do have to face Washington early in the season too, 557 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: Cincinnati early in the season, their bye is early too. 558 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: They have a week five by the end of this 559 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: season is tough. They go, they go to Pittsburgh. Caroline 560 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: is not a pushover anymore. Philadelphia. Then you got to 561 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: play the Vikings twice, the Bears twice, Detroit again, the 562 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, and the Baltimore Ravens. That's a lot here 563 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: in the last like eight ten weeks of the season 564 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: there for them. That again, you better get off some 565 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 1: good wins, agree, because if you don't, maybe Torell's right. 566 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: Maybe the under seven and a half is actually more 567 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: viable than we realized. Did we get to your Green 568 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: Bay Packer take, Andrew. 569 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 3: Well, I am taking the I am echoing Terrell here. 570 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,959 Speaker 3: I'm also under even though I do think Jordan Love 571 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 3: could be better than last year, because I think that 572 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 3: he was never healthy out all last year except in 573 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 3: beginning the Brazil game. Then he got injured at the end, 574 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 3: and I don't think he was ever fully healthy. But 575 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 3: to me, that just means he's live for throwing the 576 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 3: most interceptions in the NFL in this season because he's 577 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 3: gonna play probably more games than last year. So I 578 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 3: think that's probably the angle I'm gonna take with this 579 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 3: Packers team that I think, yess gonna be fun for fantasy. 580 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 3: The defense is gonna be horrible. I don't think I 581 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 3: win a lot of games, but Jordan Love's gonna put 582 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 3: up a Jamis Winston esque stat line. That's al said, done, Andrew. 583 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 1: Let's stick with you for the Vikings here again. Six 584 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: and a half, eight and a half, ten and a half. 585 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm a little bullish on this one. I'm the over 586 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: ten and a half. I think they can get to 587 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: eleven wins this year, I really do. I believe in 588 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback, I believe in the head coach, and I 589 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: believe the defensive coordinator. To Torell's point two flores, I 590 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: think has this team playing really well well. He made 591 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: the adjustments he needed to with the personnel he was given, 592 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: and they really took off there as the season went going. 593 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: Where do you fall for the wins for the Vikings? 594 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I like the over in the eight 595 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 3: and a half mis been thirty five. But I agree 596 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 3: with you that it's okay to be bullish here on 597 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 3: the Minnesota Vikings because we've seen. If McCarthy does look 598 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 3: good coming back from this injury and he can be 599 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 3: better than Sam Darnold or other quarterbacks that have been 600 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 3: in this Vikings offense that's been so successful, then yeah, 601 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 3: it's easy to see them going over ten and a 602 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 3: half wins. O'Connell has won thirteen plus games in two 603 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 3: of his last three seasons, except for the one year 604 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 3: where all of his quarterbacks got hurt and they weren't 605 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 3: able to win any games. So again, eleven point three 606 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 3: average for O'Connell his three seasons as the Minnesota Vikings 607 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 3: head coach. So I think it's easy over on the 608 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 3: eight and a half and then a two to one 609 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 3: over ten and a half. I like that. If you're 610 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 3: going to be bullish, I will say, though, maybe this 611 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 3: is one that I don't fire on during the offseason 612 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 3: because I do like the Bears. They play the Bears 613 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 3: week one. I think we'll get better odds after the 614 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 3: first month when we get I kind of want to 615 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 3: see McCarthy in this offense and be healthy. I really 616 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 3: do want to see that. So that's my only reservation. 617 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: All right, Terrell, any reservations when it comes to the 618 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: win totals here for the Vikings. 619 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, O'Connor is exactly who Brian Dabele thinks he is 620 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 2: in terms of offensive quarterback mine here talking about the 621 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 2: one season with no quarterbacks he bought him out, Dable. 622 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: Where's your thirteen win season, sir? Where? 623 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: Yeah? 624 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 2: I'm back in O'Connell here, and I just think that 625 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 2: he's going to figure it out and whether no matter 626 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 2: how good up or down I feel about JJ and 627 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 2: what he's going to be as a quarterback, he's proven 628 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 2: that he can take very average quarterback play and win 629 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 2: a bunch of football games. That defense is really really good. 630 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 2: And Brian Flores also on another revenge tour. I mean, 631 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: so he had the revenge tour last year, then he 632 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 2: got passed over for every head coach job, and now 633 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 2: he's on the revenge tour again. How do we fay this? 634 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 1: How do we fak this? 635 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: He and last year was the same questions that I 636 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 2: have about the defense this year. The talent on the field. 637 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 2: Is the talent on the field going to be good enough? 638 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 2: Last year he was able, He made it work with 639 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 2: what he had and they were a really good defense. 640 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna assume he's gonna figure it out 641 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 2: to get it done again here again. And Packers might 642 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 2: not be as good Bears, I'm not as high on Lions. 643 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 2: A little bit of a step back for me, Like 644 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 2: this might not be a big heavy thirteen and fourteen 645 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 2: win team, but eleven maybe twelve win the division? Yeah yeah, 646 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 2: I like the over on the wins over here for 647 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 2: the Vans. 648 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: All right, so we all like the Vikings here, and 649 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: I think Flores gets passed over because it's an offensive 650 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: league and they want offensive mind head coaches. You saw Johnson, 651 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: saw Leam Cohne. I mean that's you know, Dave can 652 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: Allics a couple of years ago. That's what we want. 653 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: That's an offensive minded league. So they don't care about 654 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: your defense. But the defense does still win championships, just 655 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: ask the Eagles. Let's talk about this division right now. 656 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: Who could win it? The Lions or at plus one 657 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: forty five, the Packers plus two sixty, the Vikings at 658 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: plus two ninety, and the Bears at plus five fifty. 659 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Vikings at plus two ninety. It's 660 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: a great value. I love it. And the fact that 661 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: they're all plus money Terrella tells me that Vegas is 662 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: saying this is pretty wide open. There's no real clear 663 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: favorite here right now. There's no minus money here. So 664 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: I'll take the Vikings at plus two ninety. The fact 665 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: that the Packers are the second one I think as 666 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: a joke. But Torol, what are your thoughts? 667 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: Oh, I'll see your Vikings plus two ninety, and I'll 668 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: raise you a Vikings four to one. There's four to 669 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 2: one out there on the Vikings right now, and I 670 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 2: legit do not feel like the Packers should be second 671 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 2: in the vision right now. I just that's just wrong 672 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 2: odds to me, there's too many question marks there, and 673 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: Jordan Love has to be really really, really really good. 674 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: If the Packers are in this division and they're in 675 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 2: it for the championship at the end, Jordan Love has 676 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 2: to have an amazing season. I would have to say 677 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: this has to be borderline MVP season for Jordan Love 678 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 2: for them to win the division, honestly, because of the 679 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 2: number of games and how bad I think the defense 680 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: is going to be. If they win the division, I 681 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: think is probably a Love IVVYP season where he just 682 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: didn't turn the ball over and he had all the 683 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 2: stats that he has, so I don't think that's gonna happen. 684 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 2: Give me the Vikings four to one, as so once again, 685 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 2: and I holding hand on the platform. 686 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: Holding hands ericson, come with us, join us, baby, Come on. 687 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, I'm not doing that. When Joey p 688 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 3: and Treel Furman agree on something, what could go wrong? 689 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 3: You know? 690 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: Nothing. I think that is when the moon is in 691 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: the Southern sphere and Jupiter ali Mars. When Terrell and 692 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: I agree on something, so it can't be wrong. I 693 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: think this is a lock. 694 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's how you know it's not gonna hit 695 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 3: me when you call a lock here in Jude, it's 696 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 3: a lot. 697 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: Who wins this division. 698 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 3: I'm going with the Chicago Bears. Give me the Chicago 699 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,239 Speaker 3: Bars longer than five and a half? What plus five 700 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 3: point fifty forgive me the Chicago Bears to win the 701 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 3: division because I'm chasing the trends. I'm not chasing this. 702 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 3: Oh well, McCarthy's healthy. He's gonna be great. Copy paste 703 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 3: all the Vikings quarterbacks from the worst yester year. It'll 704 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 3: be awesome. But what about this trend? The worst to first? 705 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 3: You guys, it's right. Team last place in the division 706 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 3: finishes first place in the division the following season. You 707 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 3: know what's really cool about this one is didn't happen 708 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 3: last year, broke a four year streak. In fact, since 709 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,479 Speaker 3: the two thousand and two merger, only three times has 710 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 3: at least a one last place team not finished first 711 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 3: in the division the following year. So odds are that 712 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 3: it's going to happen at this point this year. And 713 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 3: I think that when you're looking at the teams that 714 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 3: finished in last place across the NFL, the Bears a 715 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 3: looking pretty good compared to those other teams. Are the 716 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 3: Patriots going to overlap the Bills. Uh not according to odds, 717 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 3: because the Bills are one of the heaviest favorites to 718 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: win their division Tennessee Titans. Maybe cam Ward ends up 719 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 3: being c J. 720 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: Shroud from the year. 721 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 3: Okay, So that leaves you with the Chicago Bears as 722 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 3: that team that can make that leap from worst to 723 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 3: first because I see paths where the Lions and Packers 724 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 3: taking steps back, and then the Vikings are baking on 725 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 3: a player that's never played in the NFL coming off 726 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,719 Speaker 3: a season ending injury. So for all those reasons, I 727 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 3: love the value on the Chicago Bears. So give me 728 00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 3: them at the. 729 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: Longest on that You've got to sell me that the 730 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: coach quarterback combination of Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson is 731 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: better than all of the three competitors. And I can't 732 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: get there. I just can't get there, because to win 733 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: the division, I think they've got to both be combined 734 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,239 Speaker 1: together the best duo, and I just don't see that. 735 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: I think that's my problem, right, that's my stumble block 736 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: to this. So maybe it's the second year in a 737 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: row and we're going to make some history where there's 738 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: not a first, you know, last first. 739 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 2: Swell point five percent. That's the that's the odds one 740 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: of a swell point five percent of the Bears being 741 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 2: the one scene that is going. 742 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear the YouTube comments. YouTube comments, 743 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: drop them below. Who do you think is gonna win 744 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: this division?

Aiden 760 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: Hutchinson might win Defensive Player of the Year too, you 761 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: never know, but at plus three twenty, I like those odds. 762 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: So give me Aiden Hutchinson NFL Comeback Player of the 763 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: Year this season. Most regular receiving yards. I'm buying the 764 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: JJ to JJ connection. Justin Jefferson plus seven to fifty, 765 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: let's go. I'm getting right back into it. And Aaron 766 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: Jones regular season rushing total. I'm going under seven fifty 767 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: and a half at minus one fourteen, I think Jordan 768 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: Mason not only eats into that role, but Aaron Jones 769 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: is a lot of tread on those tires. So I'm 770 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: betting against the old running back. Terrell, what are your 771 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: favorite bets for the NFC? 772 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 2: North Well, I like the Vikings to go ahead and 773 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: get that done and win the division. If they win 774 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 2: the division and come like one or two seed, there's 775 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of awards given out to this team, 776 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 2: and so one they love the quarterbacks. Sorry for your play, 777 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 2: but JJ Comeback Player of the Year plus eight fifty. 778 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 2: I mean that's just laid up right there. First of all, 779 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 2: I just want you to know you gotta come back 780 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 2: and he kind of wasn't there in the first place, 781 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 2: but they're still gonna vote for him for it, So okay, 782 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: cool cool. Since they're gonna vote for him for it, 783 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 2: let me get JJ there at that price plus eight fifty, 784 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 2: and I think I've sold myself. Let me just go 785 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 2: ahead and take the Packers underwin to the ladder. Give 786 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 2: me under nine and a half, and then give me 787 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 2: under seven and a half at plus two forty. Like, 788 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 2: let's just face the Packers all the way here. And 789 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 2: I wish they had the line for Jordan love moostter interceptions, 790 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 2: but I'll be on that suit for sure. 791 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: All right. I'm sure Ericson will be also from the 792 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: way you guys were talking about it. Ericson, what are 793 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: your favorite bets for this division coming up this season? 794 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 3: Well, I gotta say I love the co Player of 795 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 3: the Year pick from Furman because they changed the rules 796 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 3: of this award where you have to come back from 797 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 3: an injury. So don't vote the players that are not 798 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 3: coming back from injuries, like they can't win the awards. 799 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 3: Sam could never win the award. You can't win from 800 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 3: coming back. Just be that's no one got to the 801 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 3: Joe Flacco thing. They're like, you can't have anymore. 802 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: So, yeah, but that was a good Joe Flacco doesn't 803 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: come back, man, Yeah, the Bill's defensive player that died 804 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: on the field that came back. Yeah yeah, DeMar Hamlin, 805 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: Yeah he should have. 806 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 3: He should have won the award. 807 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: No, Joe Flacco actually played well. 808 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 3: But he wasn't coming back. He was coming back from 809 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 3: the couch. 810 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 2: It doesn't he Man Hamlin didn't even did DeMar Hamblin 811 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 2: even do anything that Sason like. 812 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: I think he just got the ward, but he wasn't 813 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: like a game changing player. It was an incredible story 814 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: that he came back, and I don't want to discount 815 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: that incredible moment there. But at the same time, this 816 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,280 Speaker 1: award should be about coming back and playing, not coming 817 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: back and just being alive and playing. And that's what 818 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: it's about. And Joe Flacco is an old man getting 819 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: involved the couch. Oh do you want to talk as 820 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: hard as to get off the couch. You wait till 821 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: you're in your forties, My friend, you see what it's like, 822 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: you know, ask Karon Rodgers what's like. 823 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 3: I'll be sure to look at my my Comeback Player 824 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 3: of the Year Odds as well when that happens. So 825 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 3: my favorite the year, my favorite plays for this division. 826 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 3: So I kind of talked myself into this too. All 827 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 3: the Jordan Love overs in terms of interceptions, yards, touchdowns, 828 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 3: I just think that he's gonna be slinging it, so 829 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,760 Speaker 3: they're really low. I'm looking right now on betting pros. 830 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,879 Speaker 3: Thirty five hundred is his total passing yards prop twenty 831 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 3: four and a half passing touchdowns. I think that these 832 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 3: are easy overs, and then once the interceptions are up, 833 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 3: we are jumping all over that. So I do like that. 834 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 3: Going back to my Bears, love taking them over on 835 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 3: eight and a half, taking them to win the division 836 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 3: at nearly six to one odds. Bear down baby, And 837 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 3: this is another. This is another one that's not posted yet, 838 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 3: but when they post the rushing touchdown market most rushing touchdowns, 839 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 3: Jordan Mason. That's the pick for me, Yeah, because I 840 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 3: think that the Vikings are going to be again. If 841 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 3: they're an efficient offense, they're gonna have scoring opportunities. And 842 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 3: Aaron Jones, the amount of money I lost on this 843 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 3: guy last year on any touchdown bets, I'm not doing 844 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 3: it again. Jordan Mason is the goal line back, and 845 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 3: I think you could score at least double digit touchdowns. 846 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: All right, we want to hear from you.
