1 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we've got a lot of 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: a rational anger about Waymos. 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 2: I'm Greg Rosenthal. 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: I'm here in the Chris Westleyan podcast studio, and I'm 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: with Cynthia Freeland, who is just ranting about the Waymos 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: taking over Los Angeles. 7 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 3: I don't know why, but I have this irrational anger 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 3: towards them, Like should I have some sort of tomato 9 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 3: or a light fruit? I don't. I'm not trying to 10 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 3: destroy anything, but I want to throw it at them. 11 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 3: I don't know why. I just I can't. I don't know. 12 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 3: It just makes me angry. 13 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: I believe I live in the world like epicenter of Waymos. 14 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: Just Santa Monica because they just dropped him on it 15 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: about a year ago. 16 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: I wanted to hate him. I gotta say it. 17 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: It seems like it's been pretty safe, but I do 18 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: get a feeling every once in a while I'm at 19 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: a four way stop with multiple other Waymos and I 20 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: just feel like I'm out numbered. This doesn't seem right, 21 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a tomato. You would throw it out. 22 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: There taking over. 23 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: We're here to make picks every Thursday, and yes, if 24 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: you're listening to this a little bit early. We heard 25 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: from you that people just want the show. We're not 26 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: even gonna hold it anymore. We're just putting it out 27 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: right away before Thursday Night Football, or if you're listening 28 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: to it Friday. 29 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: Great. We make picks against the spread every week, and we. 30 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: Were already want to know on Thursday Football. I mean, 31 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 3: obviously it has no yeah, but we know. 32 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: It's Cynthia had a bad week. Last's okay, that's it's 33 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: unfortunate happens. I kept my winning streak going at two 34 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: and one for the third straight week, and it could 35 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: have been it could have been three and oh, but 36 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: I didn't want to go against you with you know, 37 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: Denver and the Giants. You apologize. You shouldn't have apologized. 38 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 3: It's still kind of amazing that they won't like that. 39 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: I've made so many bad picks. But here we go. 40 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: We got to keep my wedding streak going. We're going 41 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: to get you back on the winning track. I'm going 42 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: to have you start, okay. 43 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna just keep it really easy. Monday Night Football. 44 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: I think that the Chiefs win by a big margin, 45 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 3: so I'm seeing ten and a half. 46 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: Is that what you're seeing as well, it's gone up. 47 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: I just right before we were taping, and it's gone 48 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: up all the way to twelve twelve and a half. 49 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 3: I don't care. 50 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't either. 51 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: It's it's on my list as a maybe it was 52 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: probably fourth on my list. 53 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: I liked four this week. 54 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: That was one of the four, So I think I'm 55 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: going to leave it off, even though I'm on the 56 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: same side as you, just for a little variety. 57 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, little no. I just think we just heard probably 58 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 3: that number was driven by the fact that for sure, 59 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: now we don't have Jade and Daniels making the start. 60 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: Not to say anything against Mark's Mariota, but who else 61 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 3: is playing? 62 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: Right Debo and Terry McLaurin. I think as we're taping, 63 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: our trending towards back. Maybe, But you know what, it's 64 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: not the offense for the Commanders because one minute Mariota 65 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: has started games this year, he's played well. Obviously he's 66 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: not Jae Daniels angry about him. Their offense has been okay, 67 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: it's the defense going up against this Chief's offense. What 68 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: have you seen out of the either side of the 69 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: ball there? 70 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: Gotrick Mahomes was just throwing it to anyone at will. 71 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. There's no like funnel through any Travis 72 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 3: Kelce business going on. There's no just one target. Sure, 73 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: sometimes guys like Hollywood Bron will have two touchdowns today game, 74 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: but it's not because he's really making a concerted effort 75 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: to give a lot of the target share to Hollywood Brown. 76 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: It's just that that's the bust and coverage that happens 77 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 3: to be what scores for the team. So I'm just 78 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: seeing a lot of variety, and that is super hard 79 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 3: to defend. We saw that kind of exact same thing 80 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 3: against the Cowboys and look what happened there. So ultimately, 81 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: I mean, now, in fairness, that game we didn't know 82 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,559 Speaker 3: we would be without Deebo Samuel, So whatever. 83 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: They still gave up forty four points. 84 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 3: You know, they still get I'm just saying that the defense, 85 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: it was like the whole thing was a mess. But 86 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: you know, they they certainly gave the maybe one extra possession, 87 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: so maybe it should have been like thirty seven. 88 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: They're slow, they're old, and I think they can figure 89 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: it out Washington over the course of the season. But 90 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are at a point now with me that 91 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. I know, almost blind take them 92 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: every week because I just think they're right now. People 93 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: haven't caught up to the fact that they're the best 94 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: team in football in my opinion, and the best offense 95 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: in football right now. So that matchup and I and 96 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: they're basically coming off of bye. Their defense only played 97 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: thirty total snaps, and if you look at like the 98 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: defensive linemen and the starters, they took a lot of 99 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: them out. 100 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: They played about twenty snaps. That's like having a bye week. 101 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: I mean, it's actually maybe a little better than having 102 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: a bye week because they went through the whole process 103 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 3: of getting ready. They sort of did like an extent. 104 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 3: It's like one of those joint practices they had, you know, 105 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 3: but like really tempered well for like maintaining. It's probably 106 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 3: a good like maintenance moment for them. Load management was 107 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 3: good on that one. So I don't know, I'm getting 108 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: back on the right side of good here with them. 109 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: I took the Chiefs last week and it was just 110 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: a nice comfortable Sunday ye watching rack up all those 111 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: first downs against the Raiders. Okay, they're not going to 112 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: be one of my picks now, because you took them. 113 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 3: I like, sorry, I wasn't. 114 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: Now it's okay, I had four. I don't look, there's 115 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: one pick I really like. Okay. 116 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: Whether I'm right or wrong or indifferent, it's not about 117 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: the number. And that is where I probably differ from you, 118 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: because you know I've had friends at say you know 119 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: you you make picks against the spread off the number, 120 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: not necessarily the teams, and you know what I mean, like, is. 121 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: It a good number? Is it a bad number? 122 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay minus three at Pittsburgh is a totally fair 123 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: number based on everything that's happened so far. I just 124 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: believe that this Packers team is coming into its own 125 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: and I believe they're significantly better than this Steelers team, 126 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: who I think is maybe getting a little overvalued in 127 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: the market. So maybe it is about the number. A 128 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: Steelers team that is giving up this much on defense, 129 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: especially in the secondary, is not a Steelers team that 130 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: I want to back that I recognize. And the Packers 131 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: offensive line has gotten better, so that's when they're on offense, 132 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: I think they'll be able to create open receivers and 133 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: make some plays against this aging secondary for the Steelers. 134 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: And when I think about what's overrated about the Steelers. 135 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: I think the offense might be a little overrated going 136 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: up against a team like the Packers, who can rush 137 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: the passer so well and are pretty complete overall on defense, 138 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: I think they might be exposed based on you know, 139 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks where they had easier opponents. 140 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: I I'm I have green Bay winning this one. This 141 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: is a stay away in terms of number for me, 142 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 3: the green Bay winning is the part that I like. 143 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 3: Number one on third down, so they're the best at 144 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: converting on third down. And then if you look at 145 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: their defense, not only do they have Micah Parsons, who, 146 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: as far as pure pass rushers go, is just crushing 147 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 3: it in terms of you know, pressure percentage, anything you 148 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: need him to do, but also they're really good at 149 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: stopping the run. So you make the team even more 150 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: one dimensional with Pittsford and even Aaron Rodgers like who 151 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: says he's not like He's like, I don't care if 152 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: i'd my peace with it. 153 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 2: Please do you believe that I don't And I don't 154 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: know what that chance'll know for the game. 155 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: But you say it doesn't. But it's fun, Yes, you know, 156 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 3: I stay away from the number. 157 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 2: I think that. 158 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: I just think that Green Bay wins this one. But 159 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 3: you know who else isn't over it? Good old mister 160 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: eyebrows Matt Lafleur like he's he's also he's It's not 161 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 3: like that was an easy time for him, No, you 162 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 3: know that was very hard on a coach. 163 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: Time comes for us all, I mean, hasn't come for 164 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: the two of us yet. 165 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 3: But it's well, we don't get hit for. It's gonna 166 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: come for us all and hit for a living. We 167 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 3: would have been smoked years and years ago. 168 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: Jordan Love to me, you know he's now, he's the president. 169 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: He's in the future. So's Eddrian Cooper, So's Michael Parsons. 170 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers's Aaron Rodgers. 171 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: He's passed his prime. 172 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: And when I look at the coaching matchup, I'm glad 173 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: you brought up the flur and we'll get to your 174 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: second pick. 175 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: Just see what it is. 176 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: I just think the mismatch between Matt Lafleur and Mike 177 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: Tomlin is a real one. It was a reminder last 178 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: week that this is a predictable defense, that you kind 179 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: of know what they're gonna do. And to me, Joe 180 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: Flacco knew what they were going to do before it happened. 181 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: That's how he was able to anticipate those stores get 182 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: rid of the ball so quickly. I think Matt Lafleur 183 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: is going to be able to anticipate what Mike Tomlin's 184 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: defense is going to do. And ultimately I disagree with you. 185 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: It is about the number. Forget the win. I think 186 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna blow him out. I have it like thirty 187 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: six to eighteen, and after Sunday night, everyone is like, oh, okay, 188 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: I guess the Packers, who, by the way, you only 189 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: have one loss this season, are back to being and 190 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: there are the number one seed in the NFC, are 191 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: kind of back to being the potential juggernaut that we 192 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: thought after Week one. You know, seasons go and flows, 193 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: and I think they're ready to take that Mantle back. 194 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 3: I mean, is beating the Steelers really mantle? 195 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: If they like win by three scores? 196 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: I think so, yes, Okay, I'm saying by three scores, 197 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: all right, you're your second pick. 198 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: Okay, So I'm going with this one because that's what 199 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 3: my math has. Even though it's a big number, Okay, 200 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: big hill to climb, But I just think the Cults role. 201 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: I think I thought about that too. 202 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: Two touchdowns. I know that that number fourteen means it 203 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 3: could we could end up with a push, which is 204 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: always funny. But when I'm looking at the opportunity here 205 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones and that offense and the balance that they 206 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: get from Jonathan Taylor rushing the ball, It's just really 207 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 3: hard to imagine a scenario where Tennessee can really keep 208 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: it close. Now. I do anticipate in the future kim 209 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 3: Ward to be getting easier probability passes for the not 210 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: to take as many sacks. Some of them it's on him, 211 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 3: some of it's on his own line, some of it, 212 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: a lot of it is on the scheme. When you 213 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: have such a little completion percentage like he does it's 214 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 3: sub fifty seven percent, it means that none of the 215 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 3: easy throws are there, Like he's cam Ward's not incapable 216 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: of making a three yard throw. 217 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: He's not Anthony Richardson, no offense, no Anthony Richardson. 218 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not Anthony Richardson. 219 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: Whatever. 220 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,599 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, right, I agree with you. He 221 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: has a more complete skill set. Although he is good 222 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: at throwing those deep overs. 223 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 3: And yeah, but like you're asking right now, you're asking. 224 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 3: They just put lagerious seed on ir for Tennessee's defense. 225 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: Like Jeffrey Simmons is expected to miss this game in 226 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: here by far, they're most. 227 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 3: Exactly, they're banged up up front. So let's say, let's say, 228 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: by some miracle he plays, he's not one hundred percent. 229 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: He's like if twenty five thirty percent of what he normal, 230 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 3: which is still better than a lot of people, but 231 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: it's not really crazy. I don't know if he's already 232 00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 3: been roll out, we shoud probably look that up. 233 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: They said he's week to week week week, not official, 234 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: but they basically and he hasn't practiced. 235 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: Okay, he hasn't practice, but let's just be fair. Even 236 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: if he does play, he's not one hundred percent. Can 237 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 3: we agree on that? 238 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: Sure? 239 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 3: Okay, So ultimately, for me, I think two touchdowns for 240 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 3: a team that feels very slighted, like they're sitting there 241 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 3: being like, hey, why aren't we being considered amongst the 242 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: best Super Bowl contenders or whatever? Because nobody's talking about us. 243 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 3: Everyone's talking about Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Everyone's talking about, 244 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: And let's be fair, they have the best record in 245 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 3: the AFC. They're undefeated in the AFC. They should at 246 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: least be talked about. Do I think they should be 247 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 3: a super Bowl contender for sure? No feisty contender. 248 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: Yes, Oh I think so, because do you. 249 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 3: Say perennial super Bowl to after this short of the year. 250 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 3: I don't know, no halfway through, but my. 251 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: Point, I called the Chiefs the best offense in the league. 252 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: That's unfair actually to the Cult. That would be one 253 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: two for me right now. And the thing they have 254 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: in common is a great offensive line. They actually are 255 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: getting healthier. They get Josh Downs back this week. It 256 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: looks like he is out of the red non contactor 257 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: as he was out with a concussion last week, and 258 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: that just for the first time actually in a while 259 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: because Alec Pierce was hurt. 260 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: That they have their full complement of weapons. 261 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 3: And I like the Daniel Jones still as a higher 262 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 3: passer rating under pressure than not under pressure. 263 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: That's a little it's it's definitely. 264 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 3: A misleading stat but I like it because it kind 265 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: of tells, it encapsulates who's who Daniel Jones is this season, 266 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 3: meaning you know, we talk about leaving the Giants and 267 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 3: it was a bad experience there, So God forbid someone 268 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: succeeds behind a good old line like that's fun. 269 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 2: We like that, you know, I. 270 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: Look at a team total here if you're into that 271 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: sort of thing. 272 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: Very you know, I've been very good on totals this year. 273 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 3: It's kind of weird. Usually that's one y forte. 274 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: Like, I don't know what the Titans team total. 275 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: I could figure it out in my head with the 276 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: spread and everything if I looked, but like i'd go 277 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: over thirty five. I mean, they put up forty one, 278 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: just thirty three point one. They put up forty one 279 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: on the Colts previously. That's the only or the Titans previously. 280 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: That's the only argument argument against it is I always 281 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: am a little wary division matchup second time around. If 282 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: the first time to blowout, can you blow out the 283 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: same team twice? They did blow out the Titans earlier 284 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: this season. It was forty one to twenty at one 285 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: point in that game. I believe it was like thirty 286 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: five to thirteen or something. So they really took care 287 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: of him. I expect you'll be You'll be right again. 288 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 3: It's a big the dealer at three touchdowns three times 289 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 3: this season ones was against the Titans, like maybe now 290 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 3: it's time for Like. 291 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: I don't know, they're putting a forty burger up. 292 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: The only chance that Titans have to cover is scoring 293 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: some garbage towns late and getting up to like twenty 294 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: eight points. But I don't think that's gonna happen. So 295 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: I like that pick. Okay, the second pick for me, Yeah, 296 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Falcons minus seven and a half. And 297 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: this is how you know, you know, I'm feeling the 298 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: flow right now, three straight winning Chloe, because I went 299 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: against the Falcons last week. 300 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 2: Yep, nailed that nail. 301 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: And now I'm going back on them because they are 302 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: in every other week type of team. They are a 303 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: good home team, good math. It's so stupid, but they 304 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: really are. It's just funny. They're a good home team. 305 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: But more than anything, they're playing the Miami Dolphins. And 306 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: when I think about team totals, for instance, I would 307 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: put the Miami Dolphins offense team total in this game 308 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: in the low teens, like at most, Like I would 309 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: not be surprised if they are in the single digits 310 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: by the end of this game. 311 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: They were in the single digits. 312 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: Last week, and yeah, you have Tua, who is just 313 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: not playing with any confidence right now. But more than anything, 314 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: you have an offensive line and you saw this against 315 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: Cleveland that cannot identify where the pass rush is coming from. 316 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: They're not physically talented, Cynthia, but they're also not well 317 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: coached where just free rushers are coming in all the time, 318 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: and so two has no chance. Who is better at 319 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: creating free rushers this year than Raheem Morris in this defense, 320 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: especially when they're on a fast track. So this Dolphins team, 321 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: I think they're one game away from maybe having a 322 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: coaching change. Their former player toront Armstead was on a 323 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: podcast this week with Kevin Clark, just talking about what 324 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: he saw was not like what he recognized that out 325 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: of the Dolphins, which is a lot of indecision, a 326 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: lot of you know, they're not even knowing what's going on. 327 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: And I think it's a unique opportunity, a unique market 328 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: opportunity to just go against this Dolphins team right now, 329 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: because I think they're a dead team and they're playing 330 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: a pretty good Falcons team with a borderline great defense. 331 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 2: Right now. They're the top defense by a lot of metrics. 332 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: So I mean, things are bad when you have the 333 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 3: coach talking about the number of interceptions, which is tied 334 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: for the league lead, and the quarterback being like, oh yeah, 335 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: no problem, like having to deflect it. I guess like 336 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 3: just things all doesn't seem well at home there. 337 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: I also remember the last you know, home game they had, 338 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: and I think like this offense for the Falcons are 339 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why they're kind of in every 340 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: other week team. I think they if they face the 341 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: right opponent. I don't think they're that well coach. They're 342 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: a little disjointed, like the run in the past, don't 343 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: really match up. But when they pay a team, they're 344 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: just way more talented than like the Dolphins, who are 345 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: so poorly coached. Then Bajon Robinson just does Bajon Robinson 346 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: things and you could see another one hundred and seventy 347 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: five yard type of game. So seven and a half 348 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: is a lot. It was at seven earlier in the week, 349 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: but I I feel good about this. It's really two 350 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: picks that I really like, and there's a lot of 351 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: just likes out there For the rest of my picks. 352 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: I'm curious where you go. 353 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 3: Number three, Okay, so what number do you see right now? 354 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 3: I don't want to do this mix. I don't know 355 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 3: who the quarterback is. For one, sure, what's the number 356 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 3: for Philadelphia right now? 357 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: Seven and a half for the Eagles. What's the one 358 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: that you're not sure about the quarterback? 359 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: Well, I need to know who else is playing besides 360 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. Okay, because the Ravens is always a confusing one. 361 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 3: Because yes, I know, I'm I'm pretty sure that Lamar 362 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 3: will be back. 363 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: It seems quite optimistic that they get most of their 364 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: defense back essentially roke on and they're all back at 365 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: practice this week. 366 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: It looks pretty optimistic. 367 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 3: I'm just at this point, I'm you're afraid. I'm afraid 368 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 3: because look at my record. 369 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 2: It sucks. 370 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 3: Let's just go. 371 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: The only person who missed practice fully on Thursday for 372 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: the Ravens was DeAndre Hopkins with an illness. Everyone else 373 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: was back to full, so a woozyer Kyle Hamilton full, 374 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey full, Roquan Smith full, left tackle, Ronnie Stanley full. 375 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: It's pretty rare to have full and not be back. Now, 376 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: are they going to be one hundred percent? We'll find out, 377 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: but it does feel like the buy help them out. 378 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: Just for context, for our listeners. 379 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 3: For the futures market. I think them winning the division 380 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 3: is a very smart, fun one situation to be in. 381 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 3: But that's not a week to week situation, okay for 382 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 3: us here, So I'm gonna actually who I know that 383 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 3: they're very banged up as well, but I think Tampa 384 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 3: Bay rebounds in New Orleans. I know, division matchups blah 385 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 3: blah blah, but it's four and a half. 386 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: I'm on the other side of this one. I'm not 387 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 2: gonna make it one of my. 388 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 3: Picks, but yeah, I mean four and a half feels 389 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 3: like a lot, does it? 390 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: It does a little bit because I think the Saints 391 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: coming up. You know, they've really had two terrible games 392 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: this year, the Saints against the Seahawks and the Bears. Generally, 393 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: I don't think that's where they're at, so I kind 394 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: of expect them to bounce back. I also think the 395 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: Bucks have been not just beaten up, but big game 396 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: after big game after big game after big game. They 397 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: got to buy next week. They still have a lot 398 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: of injuries, They're going on the road. This is just 399 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: one where if I'm the Bucks and I'm their fans, 400 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: and you somehow get out of there, and you have 401 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: to sweat out every bit of a three point win. 402 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: I just would be happy, But then they don't cover 403 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: for you, and that's just me personally. 404 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 2: You like, wait, no, don't let me talk you out 405 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: of it. What do I know? 406 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 3: Well, I just because my reason for liking it. 407 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 2: Making your picks have been great on game debut. It's 408 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 2: unfortunate the ones I pick here of the crappy one. 409 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: It's unfortunate that the way our format is, it's a 410 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: small sample size three per week. 411 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 3: Is Yeah, but you think i'd be anyways. 412 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: You've been good the last couple of years. But yeah, 413 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: so I don't you know, I mean. 414 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 3: Whatever, I'm going to go with Baker, okay, mostly because 415 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 3: of his rushing capability and the fact that Megg Buka 416 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 3: and Tes Johnson will be the two starting outside wide receivers. 417 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: Whoo is back at practice. So that's great. 418 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 3: Yes, Now, if he was somehow not there, then life 419 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 3: would be it would be a different story. But I 420 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 3: I just believe that the knowledge that these two have 421 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 3: of each other, Baker says he doesn't like them. He 422 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 3: went on record and said he didn't like them, which 423 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 3: makes me like angry. Baker is my favorite baker, so 424 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 3: like he didn't like them, they don't like him. 425 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: Let's go angry, Cynthia. I've never really seen. 426 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: Her, but just put me in front of a waymo, 427 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: in front of a way moo, and put you in 428 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: a line. 429 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 2: Trying to get into work. 430 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: Oh my god. 431 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 2: On a home game for the Chargers, can I. 432 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 3: Tell you if you don't have the right parking pass, 433 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 3: do not go in the line for the parking pass. 434 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough. It's tough what we have to go through. 435 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 3: But is that so hard? 436 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: I feel I feel you, But at this point I'm 437 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: just accepting. On a game day, you know, people don't know. 438 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: It's got to be. There's gonna be issues. 439 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: You know what. 440 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 3: Else is very interesting? Yeah, for every game, I monitor 441 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 3: the price because the price of the parking for the 442 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 3: people who are at the non like like that whatever, 443 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 3: They just arbitrarily make a different number. 444 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: It's based I would guess on just how popular the 445 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: game is. But you're right, it is bizarre. 446 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 2: It's bizarre because rams charged more. 447 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 3: The rams charge at least fifteen dollars more just for 448 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 3: any game. 449 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 2: Nobody cares about this, but I do. I did. I 450 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: think it's interesting. 451 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 3: Market economics here, We'll just say, but the Vikings fans, 452 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 3: they're trying to gouge them. Oh really, Yeah, it was 453 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 3: like up almost rams prices. 454 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: It's a hot one. I bet there are a lot 455 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 2: of Vikings fans here. 456 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 3: Well maybe because it's a night game. I don't know. 457 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 3: All I know is that it was impressive how much 458 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: money they can get for that. 459 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: My final pick, and this is really a pick that 460 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: is not about the number. 461 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 2: Is the Bills Okay plus seven on the road? I 462 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 2: mean they're almost there. 463 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: It's like last week's game where I was saying they 464 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: were just begging you to take the Bucks, and you 465 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: know what, they were right, and I messed up. I 466 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: feel like they're just begging you. They are begging you 467 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: to take the Panthers. Here, they're begging you to I 468 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: thought it was seven and a half. Is it seven 469 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: or seven and a half? I see seven on Oh. 470 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 3: Goodness, Okay, that's better because I was seeing seven and 471 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 3: a half and I have an eight point win. 472 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 2: So yeah, we have seven. 473 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: And it's just a hunch I have no I think 474 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: you're right based on a few things. 475 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 3: Number one, the pants. Allen's never lost three games in 476 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 3: a row in his career. 477 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, number two, the Panthers pass rush versus the Bills 478 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: offensive line is as big a mismatch as you can 479 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: have in the league. And so Josh Allen with all 480 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: the time, all the pass protection, Like, I know that 481 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: they've been a little uneven in terms of their offense lately, 482 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: but man, I just think that's a mismatch up front, 483 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: that big of a mismatch up front. 484 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: I like the Bills. 485 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,719 Speaker 1: Now on the other side, the Panthers should be able 486 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: to run the ball a little bit, and so that's worrisome. 487 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: The main reason here is though not only is any 488 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: all and expected to start for the Panthers, which you 489 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: know is a downgrade for me. I think the Panthers 490 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: have been fattening up on some relatively easy competition. And 491 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: I have seen this Bills team over and over in 492 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: the Sean McDermott era have little downturns during the season 493 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: and self correct often it's around to buy yep that 494 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: they've been able to diagnose. 495 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 3: This is a ten wins coming off of bye is 496 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 3: a lot of self. 497 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: Correction, right, Like they're an organization that's been together. There's 498 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: so much continuity and I think they could self scout, 499 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: figure out some of their problems and take advantage of 500 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: a matchup where I think they can put up thirty 501 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: five points. Can Andy Dalton keep up in a shootout? 502 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Bill's plus seven. 503 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 3: Okay, I like that one a lot. I also like 504 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 3: it because Sean and Brandon both come from Carolina, so 505 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 3: they always want to show their former situation what happened, 506 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 3: because they're like, hey, we got this quarterback. He's pretty good. 507 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 3: We're super Bowl favorites at one point this season, which 508 00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 3: you guys got. And I don't think that gets old. 509 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 3: I just don't. I just don't think it gets old 510 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 3: to make your ex jealous. 511 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: I don't either. 512 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: And what is that what you're trying to do each 513 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: and every day? Make all your ex is jealous out there? 514 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: On fair? 515 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 3: To be fair, I know, I mean now that I'm 516 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 3: an old married lady, you know the slick. 517 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 2: Very newly married. You're a newlywed. 518 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 3: Once you get married, you're just an old married lady. 519 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: No, I have to admit there is one game, and 520 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: we'll track just I'll come back to it. 521 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 2: Now. What is it that I like better than any 522 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: of these three? 523 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: But it goes against one of my principles, which is 524 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: I don't like to pick against my own team. Yeah, 525 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: and I think the Browns plus seven. 526 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 3: I looked at that one, right, tasty little. I had 527 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: that one too, but I didn't do it because I 528 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 3: have a lot of research. I just don't want to 529 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: do it. Plus I have the Patriots winning. 530 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: Don't worry about me. Yeah, I would have. I would 531 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: take the Patriots. But three and a half feels about 532 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: right there. Like the Patriots are twentieth overall right now 533 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: in DVO eight, Like this is by far the toughest 534 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: defensive matchups that they've had. 535 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. 536 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: They're just a younger team with some holes. And I 537 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: just think the Browns defense is that good that it 538 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: It could every level sixteen to thirteen or you know, 539 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: whatever happens, they get a fluky defensive touchdown and the 540 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: Patriots could even lose their game. So but I don't 541 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: want to the Patriots because I don't want to be 542 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: rooten from I don't want to be rooten in two 543 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: different ways. 544 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 2: No, it's annoying. No, there's a lot of games I 545 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 2: just like kind of liked you. 546 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 3: Is this a weird week in terms of I like. 547 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: That Vikings game, which by the time people listen to 548 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: this it might already be off, but I like I 549 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: like the Vikings in general, especially getting points. 550 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 3: Like and people are like, oh, but they're getting Joe 551 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 3: out back. I'm like, yeah, but they're getting Aaron Jones 552 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: back on the other side too. 553 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 554 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: It makes me feel uncomfortable. But even like the parking 555 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: expensive Jets, I mean, the Bengals being six and a 556 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: half point favorites in any scenario makes me uncomfortable. 557 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 2: But that was not my pick. 558 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: The official picks for you were the Titans fourteen point favorites, 559 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. 560 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 3: Nomi, I'm picking the It was the. 561 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: I mean the Colts as fourteen favorites. A minute, what 562 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: the Chiefs as half twelve and a half nine point favorites. 563 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: And then you have the Bucks in New Orleans minus 564 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: four and a half. Just for housekeeping, I have the 565 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: Packers minus three. I love that pick. And I also 566 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: have the Falcons at home seven and a half point 567 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: favorites over the Miami Dolphins, maybe the last game of 568 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: the McDaniel era. And then I have the Bills covering 569 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: seven on the road in Carolina. I smell winners, and 570 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: I can't wait for you guys to hear us next 571 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: in your feed, Thursday night football, recapping the game that 572 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: messs with your whole parking situation. Cynthia will be there 573 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: talking to spike you away from Waymos and Chargers.
