1 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we got a super Bowl 2 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: preview in Week three. I'm Greg Rosenthal here in the 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: Chris Westleying podcast studio with a surprise Cynthia Freelan, who 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: clearly doesn't know that the Super Bowl this year is 5 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: going to feature your Detroit Lions and my Baltimore Ravens 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: because that was my super Bowl pick before the year, 7 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: with the Ravens winning unfortunately, and here we have it 8 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: in week three. 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: I think all Lions fans would take a trip to 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, even if it didn't result in a win. 11 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: It just be so exciting to finally make it to 12 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: the big game. I know that sounds anti climactic, but 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: I still think that people would take that. 14 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: I agree and in most fans, especially of teams that 15 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: haven't gone far often or haven't even been to a 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: super Bowl like the Lions, would always say that. Now 17 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: that said, you're laughing, I mean, it's just a fact. 18 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: I know that said in a couple of weeks and 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: everything leading up to it would be unforgettable. Would be 20 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: an incredible experience. I think that said, once you're there, 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: if they lose, that will actually feel and be worse 22 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: than any of the losses before that. Unfortunately, I think 23 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: that's how it works, It's how sports works. 24 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 3: I don't know. I still think I'd take going. 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 4: I know you still would take it. You would take 26 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 4: a pain. 27 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: Then those T shirts that they said, yeah, you know 28 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: that they send away those T shirts for the like 29 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: somewhere the line in an alternate universal line instead of 30 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 2: have won according. 31 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 3: To a T shirt. 32 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: That's fair, and you nothing can take away the weeks 33 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: before in all the frames. Okay, we got a long 34 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: way to go, and I got my doubts about the 35 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: Wyons there. We make three picks every weekend, the three 36 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: against the spread. Back to back weeks, You've gone two 37 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: and one back to back weeks. I've gone one and two. 38 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: That stupid Bengals ending where the Jaguars blow it a 39 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: million times in the red zone late and then the 40 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: Bengals drive the whole length of the field not only 41 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: to win, you know, by three, but to win by 42 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: four and cover that number helped flip our scores. We 43 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: went head to head last week. But as you remember, 44 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: I remember I said I only liked four games last week. 45 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: You know I did have two underdogs, you know, winning 46 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: straight up there with the Falcons and the Seahawks, so 47 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: at least I had some that was on the right track. 48 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: So I'm counting myself as two and two, but we 49 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: can only count three for sure. And I was picking between, 50 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: you know, Atlanta and Seattle. So you're off to a 51 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: great start, and that's why we're going to start with you. 52 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: Because the Compewter model is off to a hot start 53 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: in game debut and in this studio this. 54 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: Year, it's possible that the model has started to become sentient. 55 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: I'm starting to worry. I have waking up at night 56 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: being like, is it gonna come kill me? What's going on? 57 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 2: But I have five outright wrong favored teams this week. 58 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: That's that makes picking well, maybe it makes a hard 59 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: picking which three you like best, but it singles it out. 60 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 4: I should have pointed out by the way you're winners. 61 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: Last week you also had the Patriots, and you were 62 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: wrong on the Broncos. I was wrong on the on 63 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: the Jets as well. 64 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: Okyrie, All right, well we got it all right. 65 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: So my first one, I think I'm stealing this one 66 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: from you, but I really like it. I absolutely think 67 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: the wrong team is favored in Chicago. The Dallas Cowboys 68 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: come to town as one point dogs. 69 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, spright, I'm like, oh, oh, this. 70 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: Is what we're doing now, got it? 71 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go ahead and take them because I 72 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 2: have the Cowboys winning that outright, So against the number 73 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: or on their own not one of my. 74 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: Oh good feel it, I thought, maybe you were. 75 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: I did hit the Cowboys game. We agree on that. 76 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: One man. Watching Dak Prescott right now, I think is 77 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: as fun as watching any quarterback in the entire league. 78 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: And you think about that mismatch against Chicago, and that's 79 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: ultimately why I picked the Cowboys. 80 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 4: But these two teams are unpredicted. 81 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: I don't trust either one of them, and I definitely 82 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: don't trust the Cowboys defense that much. So that's why 83 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: I just didn't make it. Like one of my three favorite. 84 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: Cowboys defense has been giving up a bajillion yards and 85 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: we understand a bazillion points, like over thirty and four 86 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: hundred and fourteen something like that, something great, But if 87 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: you look at where they're giving it up, it's too 88 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: deep balls. Russell Wilson just gashed them with a bunch 89 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: of deep balls. That is an area out where Caleb 90 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: Williams has not been successful so far this season. So 91 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: I think the matchup for this defense is a plus 92 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: matchup plus Eberflus revenge. 93 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: He has to come back. I mean, I mean, well 94 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 3: there's always revenge. 95 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: But like you know, I'm looking at this one and 96 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: I'm saying, all right, it's the deep passing for me. 97 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: If you're really are you really gonna trust the run 98 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: game to get going? 99 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: We haven't really seen it now. It's Cowboys run game 100 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: looks great. That's right. They've been contacted behind the line 101 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 3: of scrimmage quite a bit. They're not getting a bunch 102 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 3: of pressure upfront. 103 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: So model, I actually looked at this and I was like, 104 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: I'm surprised that I thought it would be a point 105 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: or maybe a pick of. 106 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: At least right it started out Bears. It might be 107 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: flipping around during the week a little bit. Well either way, 108 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: either way, you're taking the Cowboys. Yeah, that's right. I'm 109 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: going back to the Jets. You know, I want to 110 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: tell you you back to the Jets. I'm going to 111 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: back to the Jets against the Bucks. 112 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 4: Against the Bucks. 113 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: So I made maybe the worst pick in the history 114 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: of the show last week Jets Bills. I said they 115 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: would uh win straight up and they were what seven 116 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: point underdogs? Seven point underdogs again this week? 117 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 4: Let me tell you? 118 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: Are you taking them to win straight up? Okay, Okay, 119 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. There's seven point underdogs actually show game debut. 120 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: I think I am just for the the Yeah, you know, 121 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: if you're gonna take them, might as well. 122 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: Can I tell you about dollar cost averaging? You know, 123 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: like by the stock that's low? 124 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: You know, I feel so in a home right now. 125 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 4: You know. 126 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: I blew it on on these Jets clearly, and I 127 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: liked them both weeks. They covered week one, they did 128 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: not week two. I just don't think they are the 129 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: team that they showed last week. It was a very humbling, 130 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: uh game for me and the Jets. But I'm looking 131 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: at this specifically. I really do believe that the Bucks 132 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: should not be seven point favorites. Okay, since we last 133 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: taped an NFL Daily even, we learned Cody Mock there, 134 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: the guard for the Bucks, is out for the entire season. 135 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: We confirmed that Luke Getikey he doesn't have all his teeth, 136 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: Cody Mock, but they look the one really yeah, Luke 137 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: ketting their right tackle out this week. We don't know 138 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: whether they're left tackle Tristan Wurfs is going to play 139 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: in this game. Amiica Abuka hasn't practiced so far this 140 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: week and was not looking one hundred percent. I'm a 141 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: little bit with the plexiglass kind of principle here with 142 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: both of these teams. I do think teams tend to 143 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: respond after a really poor performance. They're, you know, professionals, 144 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: and it's just the average. I think the average performance 145 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: from the Jets is gonna be somewhere between week one 146 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: and week two. And then you look at the Bucks Cynthia, 147 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: and if you peek beneath the numbers a little bit 148 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: like they actually their numbers haven't been great this year. 149 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 4: They're nineteenth overall. 150 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: In Dvoa, they were outplayed by the Falcons and kind 151 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: of stole that game away last week. You know, they 152 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: were a fourth and tent away. They're good, obviously, and 153 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get better. But I'm not worried 154 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: about Tyrod Taylor. I don't think that's necessarily a downgrade. 155 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: It might, even for a one week, be an upgrade. 156 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: I'm not rule that out. And so seven points seems 157 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: like a lot. 158 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 4: I think these two teams will be closer than you think. 159 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: I'm actually aligned with you, and I think that I 160 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: think that the Bucks win. I don't think that they 161 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: win in a very super convincing fashion, right right, It 162 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: was big when before we knew about those injuries, it 163 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: was a much bigger margin. And I'm looking at the Jets, 164 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: and I agree with you that the average does tend 165 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: to come up over time. 166 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: My problem with the Jets overall. 167 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: Is that I haven't seen any of the foundations of 168 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 2: what they're trying to do come together on offense consistently. 169 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: So it's hard to say, Okay, are they going to 170 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: be a team that their identity is going to be 171 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: run the ball, pass to their tight end, like what's 172 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 2: going on here? And I just haven't seen it come 173 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: together in general yet. And I still haven't seen on 174 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: the defense the kind of stuff you would imagine that 175 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: will be by the end of the season. With Aaron Glenn, 176 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,119 Speaker 2: they're figuring everything out, But I just the offense feels 177 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: like it like it's a big question mark. 178 00:07:59,200 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: What am I looking in? 179 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 4: The defense isn't even a question Mark's just a hot mess. 180 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: It is a mess they are giving h They are 181 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: a lot of miscommunication a lot of that. But I 182 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: just think the the injuries, and I guess I do 183 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: look at the response that I think the Jets will 184 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: have sure this week coming off of a game like that. Also, Tyrode, 185 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,679 Speaker 1: when he's played in the last few years, he usually 186 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: has like one or two that's great performance when he 187 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: comes in and then he gets hurt. If he gets hurt, 188 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: we're really in trouble. The injuries for the Buccaneers are significant. Also, 189 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: the New Jersey to Tampa pipeline for like retirees, is 190 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: very familiar, and so I think that somehow will give 191 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: the Jets just like a little bit of an advantage. 192 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: It's just a move that people from New Jersey, they're 193 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: comfortable going down south to Tampa. 194 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 4: So maybe a lot of. 195 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: Jets people will make the trip. Sure they just live there, 196 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: you know, great advantage. 197 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 4: I love that. All right, let's go to your second pick. 198 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm going to keep it with the spicy 199 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 2: ones that are the wrong favorite, favored, that's not good whatever. 200 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 2: I think that the Textan's top the Jags. 201 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 4: I like that. 202 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm on your side too, Yeah you are. I mean 203 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: that's not one of my three picks, but I agree 204 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: with you. That was my pick on game debut. 205 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 2: Yes, wow, well we don't have to say anything fun. 206 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: We're wild well number one when I'm looking at So 207 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 2: when you look at CJ. Stroud and what they're trying 208 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: to run in this offense, it's a little patriotsy, which 209 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 2: I think they've figured out there need need to pivot 210 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 2: from just a bit given the skill set of c J. 211 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 2: Stroud and the lack of skill set from the offensive line. 212 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 3: I'm saying that nicely. The line hasn't been good. Let's 213 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 3: just say that. And I'm curious to see maybe Christian 214 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 3: Kirk comes back. Where are we at with that? 215 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 4: It looks good? 216 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: Right, So I haven't seen anything updated. 217 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: Out Brackston Barrios and Kristen kirkis less of a factor, 218 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: more of a specialist. 219 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 4: I don't know, but Kirk will play. 220 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 2: I actually think sometimes those tiny little differences are very 221 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: big deals when it comes to figuring everything out. So 222 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: I'm looking at the uptick in passing quotient and that 223 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 2: defense is still really good. 224 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 3: News flash. Defense still really good. Trevor Lawrence. 225 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: There's I love the like like sort of fight Trevor 226 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 2: Lawrence and Liam Cohen. 227 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: Like the yeah, well when he was on the sideline, 228 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: he was getting annoyed. 229 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 230 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence described it afterwards as like it's good. You know, 231 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 4: I'm pretty like you. 232 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: Know, even Keel laid back guy, and like Liam Cohen, 233 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: like Liam's really fired up and I really appreciate it all. 234 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 4: And it like he's like it kind of brings out 235 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 4: the more intenside. 236 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm like, well, we could use a little 237 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: more of ITV still seems a little little yeah. 238 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: And plus when you have I just also, at some 239 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 2: point the Brian Thomas Junior thing will click back into place, 240 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: and same thing with Travis Hunter. But you've seen some 241 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 2: The end of that last game was messy against the Bengals, 242 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 2: as you pointed out, But I don't think they can 243 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 2: run it enough on the Texans to be able to 244 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: overcome that defense all of a sudden in one week, 245 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: all the books think, Hey, that defense stinks now, like 246 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: what what on earth? Like that's such an overreaction to 247 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 2: the mark in the market. So that's why I'm like, 248 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: what do we will Anderson Junior not there anymore? 249 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: I I like this pick. It's not one of my 250 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: top three. I think it's it's probably recognizing a couple 251 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: of things. One, the Jacksonville run game looks really good. 252 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: I think they I think they're a proof team. I 253 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: think they could be the seven seed, for instance in 254 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: the AFC. 255 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, especially with the Bengals getting hurt, with Joe Burrow 256 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 2: getting hurt and all those other things up in Flux. 257 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. 258 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: And then the numbers, And it's partly because of the 259 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: matchups the Texas fan to face, you know, the Rams 260 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: and the Bucks blitzes back to back weeks and pass rushes, 261 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: and they have not looked good on offense. Their offensive 262 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: numbers are as bad or worse than they were a 263 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: year ago. So I I kind of see why it 264 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: would level it out. Nick Chubb a little bit, A 265 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: little bit, Nick. 266 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 3: Chubb starting to come back on baby, I. 267 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: Think we'll see some some woody marks some Nick Cubb, 268 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I also just think they really need 269 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: this game. And they've been in this system with Dimiko 270 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: Ryans a couple more years. They've won some big games, 271 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: two playoff games, right, And I think that helps. But 272 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: it wouldn't It wouldn't shock me if the Jags did 273 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: pull that off. Man that that I was watching that 274 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: closely because I knew that was our head to head game, 275 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: and I was feeling good about it all last week 276 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: JAG's Bengals, and then right at the end. 277 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 2: I mean when Trevor Lord, when when Joe Burrow went down, 278 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 2: I'm like, well there, yeah, go. 279 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 4: And they were losing. They're actually were losing. I haven't 280 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 4: had that time. 281 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: Browning throws all the picks in the world, and then 282 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 2: they decide to blitz. 283 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 3: Don't blitz Jake Browning, what are you doing? This man 284 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 3: is great against the blitz. He's not good when you 285 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 3: don't blitz him. Look at his blitz. 286 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 2: This is why everyone needs analytics, you hear me, because 287 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: if you look at that, that that has been his 288 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 2: splitz forever, his under his under duress. Like his blitz 289 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: completion percentage in passer rating is like one twenty something. 290 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. 291 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 4: I love it. 292 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: It's non blitzed one boo boom. 293 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 4: Not good. 294 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 3: No, that's when he throws his picks. 295 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: Little extra info for you, by which side of that 296 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: game are you on? 297 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 4: Vikings Bengals? 298 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: I think we're on the same side of that one too. Okay, 299 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 2: goal goal, let's go yeah, are you are you around. 300 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: What are you viking? 301 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 4: I don't feel strong about that one. I just was 302 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 4: throwing that out there. 303 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: We were talking about it in terms of the number 304 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: I would take the Bengals the points. 305 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: Okay. I just thought, okay, are you fair? Fair point? 306 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 4: Okay? 307 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 3: Rams, Oh, you're going right at it, baby. 308 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 4: Plus three and a half. 309 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: One of the most balanced teams so far in the NFL, 310 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams offense defense both look ready. I 311 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: look at the Eagles and as much continuity, I just 312 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: being there ready for the season in a way that 313 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: a lot of teams aren't. 314 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 4: You know, they're kind of I like it. 315 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 3: It just sounded funny. They're ready, They're. 316 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 4: Ready to pounce. This game is big. This game is big. 317 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: All the Rams have been honking about all off season 318 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: how close we were to the Eagles. They were sending 319 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: it out to I saw it in the season ticket 320 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: holder email that, like you know, we were, we were 321 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: only a few plays away from beating the eventual champions. 322 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 4: And it's true statement. That's not why I'm picking them. 323 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: I just look at who's playing better right now, and 324 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: the Kevin Batuloh Philadelphia Eagles offense just feels. 325 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 4: A little bit static. 326 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: I think the Eagles offense will get better throughout the 327 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: course of the season. I think their pass rush will 328 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: get better throughout the course of the season. Entering Week three, 329 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: it's been average their pass rush. The offense has been 330 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: a little below average. And then I look at the 331 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: Rams and I think they've come out firing. 332 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 4: DeVante. 333 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: Adams is such a big part of this offense. It 334 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: looks like Steve Avola, who's a starting guard for them, 335 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: might be back for this game. He's back at practice. 336 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: That's bit because they were missing two starters. That is 337 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: obviously worrisome for them. But man, Davante and Stafford are 338 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: so much fun to watch. I think year two Chris 339 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: Shula versus year one Kevin Patulo and kind of looking 340 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: at the fresh ideas mcveigh's got popping with Davante and everything, 341 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: I just feel like they're a little more ready ready, 342 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: a little ready, They're ready, you know what I mean, 343 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: A lot of seat I know we are. Are you 344 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: gonna make it one of your picks now? Because it's 345 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: not an underdog that I liked my theme today? 346 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, this isn't often that I get a theme. 347 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: You know, it's much better whenever you see a team 348 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: that you think is gonna win straight up like I 349 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: had with the Falcons and Seahawks last week for right, 350 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: since and they're underdogs, then you take them. 351 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 4: You love that, That's right. 352 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just gonna stick with my theme. 353 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, the hook the three and a 354 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: half point hooked. You're always talking about that. It got 355 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: me again. 356 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 4: It did. It got me again, here with the here 357 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 4: with the Rams. But you know what, last week it 358 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 4: worked out. Actually in the two games, I ended up 359 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 4: being ran in those two. Give me your last pick. 360 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: Okay, so last, but not least. Are you ready for this? 361 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 4: Are you? I'm writing your pick? 362 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, So I don't forget them. The Patriots ooh, 363 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: I do agree with you on this, but I'm like 364 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: a little freaked out. Well it's also your team, like 365 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: you know, I know, but I'm often very negative. Last week, 366 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: I want to know part of Patriots Dolphins. You were 367 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: right on that one, But this one I like the matchup. 368 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, well the matchup matchups makes for fights, right, And 369 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 2: now you're getting a Drake may who I mean, he's 370 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: been playing very well. I think this is a Trevion 371 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: Henderson Breakoutum, I think we see that's really the kind 372 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: of last piece in this beginning season puzzle that needs 373 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: to come together. 374 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: It's all about the defensive front for me, though, did 375 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 3: I say that? 376 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 2: Right? 377 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 3: Defensive front, deferentive front. 378 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 4: So they've played great so far. 379 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 2: Milton, guys like Milton, you know, guys like Harold. Like, 380 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: it's all these old names, old people names, Milton, Harold Orrin, 381 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 2: They're all great. You know how many Harolds do you know? 382 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: They have a Christian exactly, Klevon. That kind of goes 383 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: against your theory. 384 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 2: I still think as a percentage their defensive starters have 385 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: old names. 386 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 4: They do sound like they're from like the nineteen ten 387 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 4: good old. 388 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 3: Milton, you know. 389 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, But when you're looking at a guy like Milton, 390 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: who's got I don't know, the second most wave two sacks, 391 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: like the second most pressures for defensive tackle, Like that's 392 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: a huge deal. And he's not even fully kind of 393 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: integrated into the Rabel system yet. Right, it's only been 394 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: two games. So I just think their defense is more 395 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: than what the is going on for the The old 396 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: line for the Steelers can handle. And we've seen these 397 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 2: short passes again from Aaron Rodgers. Everyone's like, he's good 398 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: to Aaron out this year, he's got to key Mickalf 399 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 2: he's gonna be MVP for him, And was. 400 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 3: Like, what if he's just mid. 401 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: That's okay to be mid, you know, like not not 402 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 2: mid for every human beag, but mid Aaron Rodgers. 403 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 4: That's not bad mid for an average NFL starting. 404 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 2: Course, that's right, Like, but not, I'm no one. You 405 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 2: can't expect him to do all these crazy, you know, 406 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 2: Rogers to Rogers passes anymore. Like, let's let's go with 407 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: what works, the shorter passes, and New England's really good 408 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 2: at defending those under ten are yard passes. So it's 409 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 2: just not matchups makes fights, man, and are we're getting 410 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: Christian Zalez back for goodness sake? 411 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: It sounds optimistic. He's been back at practice. Then again, 412 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: he didn't practice since late July, so I always think 413 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: that's a little weird too. And then you you're immediately 414 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: playing in a game five days later, so we will see. 415 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: I think he's massive for this game. So because you 416 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: mentioned the numbers are good on the short passes, I 417 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: agree the matchup helps them. They're by far their biggest 418 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: weakness as a team is the deep passes. They are 419 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: just getting bombed away. Like their defense is stunk this year. Really, 420 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they're one of the worst defense in the 421 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 1: league overall in terms of against the past. But if 422 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: you have Gonzales out there, he can match up with 423 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and then it's like who else do the 424 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: Steelers really have? 425 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 4: That's what I'm Oh, wait, I don't know. 426 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 3: I mean the tight end, right, Johnny Smith, I guess, but. 427 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 4: Like Friarmouth, Matt Washington, Darne Washington, I mean. 428 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: But if you can't run, and like Jalen Warren, everyone's 429 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: calling Fantasy World being like this is the Jalen. 430 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 3: Warren breakout moment, blah blah blah blah. 431 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if I see it, because I think 432 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: that this is where this is like Rabelle teams are 433 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 2: like Belichick teams, right, they come together, they get the 434 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 2: defense gets better. 435 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: Right, I'm telling you, I love the Travion breakout. 436 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 3: Travion breakout is. 437 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 2: I just think at some point there's gonna be the 438 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 2: Josh McDaniels moment where he's like, let's just and the 439 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 2: Steelers defense has not looked like. 440 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 4: A Steeler Oh, they've they've been really bad. 441 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 3: So you tell me that swing pass to Travian's not 442 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 3: gonna work against that. 443 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 4: I was excited. 444 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: And you know, look, if you're if you're a daily 445 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: NFL daily listeners, which it was my favorite kind, not 446 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: just popping in for the recap or the preview or 447 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: what about the people. This one's doing big numbers. It's great, 448 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: so you get some extra info. Because after we taped 449 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: the preview episode. You know, I treated myself this morning 450 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: Stationary Bike watched a little All twenty two Uh Patriots, 451 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: which I hadn't gotten. Tokay, what a great game by 452 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels last week. Obviously the matchup helps a lot, 453 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: but I actually thought Travon Henderson was explosive and powerful there, 454 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: and it. 455 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 4: Looks really good. 456 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: The problem is his reputation was in past protection being 457 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: really good and he made a couple of mistakes there. 458 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: But other than that, I'm with you. I think I 459 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: think it's close, and their runblocking looks pretty good. Will 460 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: Campbell and the rest of the offensive line looked pretty good. 461 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 3: So old short arms out there. 462 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm with you, speaking of which I mean my arms 463 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: aren't too long either. I'm doing something I feel bad 464 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: about I'm going against the Lions as my third pick. 465 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Ravens minus four and a half. I'm 466 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: really into the whole What time of year are we 467 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: playing the team who's going to be better later? I 468 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: think the Eagles, for instance, If this is Eagles hosting 469 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: the Rams, and you could tell me that just that 470 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: at games in December, I'm not taking the Rams plus 471 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: three and a half, just a sight unseen. I just 472 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a different game than same thing here. 473 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: I think the Lions defense is going to figure some 474 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: things out over the course of the season. Sure, I 475 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: just don't think they're going to be there yet. I 476 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: think the Ravens, on the other hand, you're two of 477 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: this defensive system, you're you know, three of the offensive system. 478 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: I don't think there's enough pass rush. You give me 479 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: a team. 480 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 3: That as Marcus Davenport, yeah right, the problem. 481 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: He's hurt and him being like the only other guy 482 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: with Hutchinson going up against Lamar. Is this new Lions 483 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: offensive line ready to win a shootout? 484 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 4: It's in my head a little bit. 485 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: The last time they played a couple of years ago, 486 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: thirty eight to six Ravens over the year. 487 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 2: Then since the Lions have beat the Ravens, I do 488 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: ask twenty. That's crazy that they've only played five times. 489 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 2: I mean, that's a little ticky tacking because they've only 490 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 2: played five times. 491 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 4: It also been aften here. 492 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: Maybe the first matchup means a little bit though, because 493 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: same coaching staffs. They know the coordinators are different for 494 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: the Lions and everything. But that was during a great 495 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: Lion season and they got waxed. 496 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an alternate universe where they're still running against 497 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 2: the line right like it. They just keep running around 498 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 2: like the world like it. 499 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: They can make Jared Goff uncomfortable. And look, I'm convinced 500 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: that this is going to be an elite Lions offense. 501 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: That's why I have them in the Super Bowl, and 502 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: I think they can figure things out over the course 503 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: of the season. So when I say GoF uncomfortable, I 504 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: mean it's Matta Bike or Travis Jones or someone just 505 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: like one time getting one of those quick pressures interior rush. 506 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: GoF makes one mistake and then they're chasing the points 507 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: the whole game. I love points. I think it's like 508 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: forty one to thirty one. You know, I don't think 509 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: it's anything where the lines are embarrassed afterwards, like thirty 510 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: eight to six, or it's forty one to thirty four, 511 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Or it's thirty seven to thirty. 512 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: Fans would take that too, would they losing? Yes, by 513 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: it don't look like an idiot. They just don't want 514 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: to be made to look like a fool, right, Like. 515 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 4: They're gonna be one and two if they don't win 516 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 4: this game. Okay, you want to win. 517 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 3: Everyone wants to win. 518 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 2: But but if you're winner, But if you're thinking about 519 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 2: it objectively from the Lions fandom standwich, I could stay 520 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 2: this because I am one when you're looking at the opportunity, 521 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 2: like you just don't want to get embarrassed. You don't 522 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 2: want to look like you don't belong on the field 523 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: with them, Like that's what happened last time. And yeah, 524 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 2: it was during a great season and it was later 525 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 2: in the season, so they had more you know, of 526 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 2: a cachet going into that game. And the same thing 527 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: happened last year in Houston, right the Texans game. 528 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 3: They looked awful. So there's gonna there's always one where 529 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 3: you look bad. 530 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: Well, but I think Lions fans, and you know, after 531 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 2: that Week one situation against the Packers, ain't. 532 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 3: Nobody want to lose the Packers in the NFC North. 533 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: So I think that there's as long as it's clothed, 534 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 2: no one's gonna. 535 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 3: Be like, oh they're right, they're garbage, throw them out, 536 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 3: blah blah blah. 537 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: Like this, let's relax, like as long as it's not 538 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: to one sided like that Packers game. And I I say, 539 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: like the defensive performance against Chicago didn't convince me at all, 540 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: Like the pass rush really wasn't that much better? Caleb, 541 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: I actually thought looked decent in that game, Like I 542 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: think it was an okay performance, but I'm not shocked. 543 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: The liners looked okay, right right, and the line's offense 544 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: is gonna be great. So I think it's a high 545 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: scoring game before and a half points not enough for me. 546 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: I am going Ravens. And you know we do the extras, right, 547 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: I write down the act picks. How don't have any 548 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: this week? I only really like these three. I had 549 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: written four, like the fourth was the Titans as an underdog, 550 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: but I'm not even putting that as an official extra 551 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: pick because I just didn't have it. Maybe it's maybe 552 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: this two and four record to start is spooking me. 553 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 4: But I looked at I looked at. 554 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: The whole board, and I I just write down ones 555 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: that I like, and then I see, okay, which what 556 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: the stack is. And sometimes it's like two that I 557 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: really like, and then I have to force that. Sometimes 558 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: it's like seven this this week was just three. Last 559 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: week I went two and two on the extras. So 560 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: I think we have a winning record for the extras 561 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: for the season, and so that's good. 562 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 4: I think we're what. 563 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 3: That's how the extras roll though every time. 564 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. I think we were what. 565 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 2: It's like your second shot in golf, right, your second 566 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 2: first shot, you know, like your mulligan those that's what 567 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: the box. 568 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 3: There's no pressure, you just hit it nice and easy. 569 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: It's true we got I think that's four and two 570 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: on the extra games. 571 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 4: But those are our three picks. I was back in 572 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 4: the day. 573 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: Nothing I liked better as a high school student than 574 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: working at a couple of different golf clubs and you 575 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: could just play for free afterwards. Just like a sixteen 576 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: seventeen year old version of myself and a joint and 577 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: a friend with a cart and nine holes at about 578 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: five pm on a there you go, summer afternoon.
