Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with

00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: happened ridiculous a f C just season mumbo jumbo. Yeah,

6
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: I mean the division in particular. I mean, if you

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: want to focus on that, or now the a f

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: C South is insane, or who's the best team in

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: the a f C. I mean everyone's saying it was

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee ten minutes ago, or since it's lots of the Jets,

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: both those teams lost of the Jets. Here's like, it's crazy. Yeah,

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: here's the here a the a f C standings as

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: we as we sit here today. Obviously Kansas City place tonight. Um,

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: they're three and four, Tennessee is six and two. They

15
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: now hold the number one overall seating in the a

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: f C. But yes, this little situation with Derrick Henry

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: with a broken we talked to I think we mentioned

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: this last week that there one Derrick Henry injury away

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: from being in trouble, in trouble, in trouble, And yeah,

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: to look at the rest of their schedule now, Um,

21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, they have, they got the Rams, they

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: play in Los Angeles this week, they got Sunday night. Yeah,

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: then they got the Saints without Jameis Winston. But that's playoffs,

24
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: good defense. Defense. Yeah, and they played the Texans. No

25
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: when that game at New England, would you call him

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: a dog right this minute? Without Henry? And probably probably

27
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: then they have their by Jacksonville at Pittsburgh. They're not

28
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: beating the Steelers without Derrick Henry. No, Tennessee in Pittsburgh today,

29
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: Steelers are three and a half point favor maybe more,

30
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: maybe more. Yeah, I agree with that much like do England.

31
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, San Francisco, Yeah, probably Miami and then

32
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: at Houston, so they're probably still gonna win. Beating the

33
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: Colts yesterday is so huge, huge, and Wentz was really

34
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: bad in that game. And I have to think the

35
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: Colts are probably cooked now and they could go on

36
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: a run and win the rest, but they're not a

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: dominant team, you know, like the Chiefs can be dominant

38
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: the cot Here's the thing. I can count three, maybe

39
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: four at least losses on that. I think you got

40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: my Tennessee's schedule. I would say I could count three

41
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: or four wins, Okay, but I'm saying I'm saying guarantee, guaranteed,

42
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna They're gonna they're gonna suffer three or four

43
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: more losses. I would think, so, yes, So it best

44
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: they finished with eleven wins. They're not going to be

45
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: the number one seat. No, it would be unbelievable. They

46
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: don't win a division. So it makes me think one

47
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: teams coming out of that division culturely ones have a chance.

48
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: The Raiders are number two right now, they're by they're

49
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: five and two. Here's what they've got remaining. You've got

50
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: you gonna find him in Las Vegas. They were coming

51
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: off a bibe. They play the Giants next week. That's

52
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: gonna give me, but they'll be favored. It's in New

53
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: York Hill, Okay, but they'll be short week with the Giants.

54
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: They played tonight. Interesting to watch the Giants. They get

55
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: some guys healthy, they could win that game the Giants.

56
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: Then they play Kansas City, huge game Cincinnati. Okay, both

57
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: of those are in Las Vegas. A lot of playoff

58
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: implications for those two games at Dallas. Dallas has won

59
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: a game without their quarterback. This this could be Dallas

60
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: a year, Washington at home, Okay, at Kansas City. I

61
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: think Washington's came out there and said they're gonna stick

62
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: with Heinke and then that's like I can't see twice

63
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: in Kansas City at Cleveland, Okay, Denver at home, at Indianapolis,

64
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: and then they finish up with the Chargers at home.

65
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: That sounds like better than five, but not much. I mean,

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: I don't think they probably get the ten wins probably

67
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: where now five Yeah, I would say that's probably safe.

68
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: So get so they have to go five and four

69
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. Okay, Yeah, I think that's

70
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: probably somewhere. There wasn't a lot of easiness. I mean,

71
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: that's a pretty tough schedule. Casey twice Pittsburgh since you

72
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: know the game with the Chargers, there's a lot of

73
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: playoff ramifications there. So there too. The Ravens. What if

74
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: they suffered a decent injury Waller or somebody like you know.

75
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: The Ravens are currently the three seat. The Ravens were

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: the winner of the weekend h they're five and they're

77
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: in first place right now. Yeah, their schedule for the

78
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: rest of the way. They just finished her by. They

79
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: get Minnesota next week. Minnesota will throw the ball all

80
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: over them, might run on too, might run on to.

81
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of Minnesota. They might

82
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: be the most just lost Daniel Hunter though. For the Yeah,

83
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: they might be the most even Stephen team in the

84
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: league right now. At Miami should win. At Chicago, they

85
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: should win that game. But we're gonna talk Bears a

86
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: lot this week. That could be a muddy messy. It's

87
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: the st type of game. Cleveland at home, huge game

88
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: for the Browns, in particular at Pittsburgh Cleveland. Again, Cleveland

89
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: be coming off his bi so Cleveland places Ravens back

90
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: to back weeks, but the Ravens go Cleveland, Steelers Cleveland.

91
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't love that for the Ravens. Then they play

92
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: the Packers, okay at Cincinnati, then they host the Rams,

93
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: then they host the Steelers. Wow, that's about as hard

94
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: as the Steelers last. People were talking about how hard

95
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: to this Pittsburgh schedule is. That's a hard schedule. It's wow.

96
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean they got their Lions out of the way. Yeah,

97
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: that stuffs all all behind him now, So I mean,

98
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: what do they you know if they're not playing great. Yeah,

99
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: let's say they beat Minnesota. Okay, they'll be favored in

100
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: that game and rested. I'll definitely pick them to win that.

101
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: They could get to eight and two at Miami. At Chicago,

102
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: that's conceivable, get the eight and two. So they're kind

103
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: of like the Steelers. Their next two three games, they'll

104
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: be favorite. But then it's Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Green Bay, Cincinnati, Rams, Pittsburgh.

105
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: How many of those are they winning? True? No, I

106
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. I mean, even if you give

107
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: them splits against the Steelers and Browns in those four games,

108
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: that's only two that still doesn't get as. Cincinnati smoked

109
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: them in in Baltimore, crushed him, crushed him. Green Bay

110
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers will blow them out of the water. Yeah,

111
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean they will just destroy them. The Rams better

112
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: team than them to who just added Von Miller to

113
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: the mix. So I don't see best. You're looking at

114
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: maybe five wins there unless they sweep the Browns are

115
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: Steelers probably, and I don't see. I don't think they're

116
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: that kind of team this year. I don't think they're

117
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: that kind of team either. I I thought you could

118
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: actually make a case for them how they're playing before

119
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: yesterday that they were the fourth team in the division.

120
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: Just how they're playing, you know, squeaking out some wins.

121
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Could they easily be number one in the division? Sure,

122
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean the division is pretty tight, um, but I

123
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: don't see them getting over ten wins. Probably not. I mean,

124
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: they're not gonna sweep with division, you know, um, you

125
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: know from here on out. One side note there, I

126
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: don't like those scheduling quirks where division games are super close,

127
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: just because we know, people get injured, and it's it's

128
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: true for anybody, if you're missing a key guy, you're

129
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: in a struggle. If you're missing Lamar Lamar Jackson in

130
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: those three weeks that you play the Steelers. To say,

131
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: if they get unlucky with one injury those three weeks,

132
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: we might be talking about a cod or or whatever

133
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: whatever whatever it is. But yeah, I think when you

134
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: play division opponents, they should be spread out more than that.

135
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: So right now they're the three seed. I don't see

136
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: them getting above ten wins. No, but they could easily

137
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: win them. Not easily, but they certainly are in the

138
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 1: mix to win the division. Yeah, I mean they're there first.

139
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: Now the Bills are five and two. They're the four

140
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: seed right now. The Bills, Uh, if you look at

141
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: their their remaining schedule, UM at Jacksonville, at the Jets, Indianapolis,

142
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: at New Orleans, New England at home at Tampa Bay, Carolina,

143
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: at New England, Atlanta, and then the Jets. They may

144
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: lose too, if if, if, at most Buffalo is going

145
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: to be the number one seed in the FC. Yes,

146
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: and they I think they're the best football team too.

147
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: They probably go fourteen and three, thirteen and four and

148
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: get the top seed. Yeah, that's that's where it's. That's

149
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: where this is gonna go. And even if they have

150
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: a big injury that they'll probably like Tennessee and still

151
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: win the division. They're in a really good spot. The

152
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: Bengals are now five and three, they're the five seed. Yes,

153
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the Bengals scheduling. After losing to the Jets, they can

154
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: lose to anybody apparently. Um, they got Cleveland this week

155
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: at home. I wonder who's favored that game. I assume

156
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: since Cincinnati. Yeah. Uh. Then they have their bye week,

157
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: then they play the Raiders in Las Vegas. Raiders are

158
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: favored in that one if it happens today, probably um

159
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at home, then the Chargers, one of those San

160
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: Francisco at den for Baltimore, Kansas City at Cleveland. There's

161
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: no gimmis. Maybe maybe you could look at that and say, well, Denver, Denver,

162
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: but it's in Denver, it's in Denver. We'll probably, I'm

163
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: sure we'll mention the Broncos, but I bet they trade

164
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: somebody else in the next twenty four hours. If you're

165
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: trading von Miller, they've given up the ship, so they

166
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: may be in a bad place. But how many more

167
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: wins are on their four and three? Though? You know

168
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: they just one yesterday Denver? I'm talking about. I mean,

169
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: if that's your easiest game. The Bengals have three losses

170
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: right now, they're five and three. Yes, they have one

171
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: more win and down maybe get to nine unless things

172
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: go really well. I just might say, Tan, do they

173
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: sweep the Browns? I'll say no to sweeping anybody. Do

174
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: they beat the Raiders in Las Vegas? No? But I

175
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: bet there's four of these games. I'll say our coin flips,

176
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: and if they get two of them, I don't know

177
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: if they're good or not. Though, do they sweep to Steelers.

178
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they were good before. I don't

179
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: think they sweep to Steeler. I think I we're picking

180
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: the game right now. I would pick the stealer again Smith, right,

181
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: you know that that's huge in that game. Yeah, like

182
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: I wish the Bengals were the next opponent. I think

183
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers would run on them and play well. They're

184
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: not gonna be a favor against the Chargers. No, all

185
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: the Charger. The Chargers good. I don't know who you

186
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: mentioned them. Yeah, I don't know who they are either. Um.

187
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco will be the challenge, a challenge for where's

188
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: that game again? It's in Cincinnati, okay? Um, and in Baltimore,

189
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City Cleveland to finish off the season. I don't

190
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: want casey that late the year. They might figure things out.

191
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: They might figure things out the night and then at

192
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland to finish, to wrap it up. It could be

193
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: for a playoff spot, could be for the division championship.

194
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, we're the seventh seed or who's to say. Okay,

195
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: so they're not in a great spot either. That's a

196
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: big loss to the huge um, but not that surprising either. No,

197
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to be a consistent winner in this league.

198
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: It's not. I wrote that yesterday about the Browns are

199
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: finding out. You know, winning the off season is one thing, right,

200
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: but when everybody now targets you is the team to beat?

201
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: When what did you really do last year? You snuck

202
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: into the playoffs as the seven seed. And you brought

203
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: this up to last week. If the Steelers play all

204
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: their starters, does the Browns don't even make the wild

205
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: card game even happen? You know? Right? Yeah? Again it did,

206
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: and it did. But but the targets, they they accepted

207
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: the target, They openly talked about more than accepted it. Yeah,

208
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: they played it up, you know, and people have short memories.

209
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: But the Steelers, part of them resting everybody in Week

210
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: seventeen last year was because they wanted to play the Browns. Yeah,

211
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, like these guys they beat seven, right, Ben's

212
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: lost twice against the Steelers are now the sixth seed. Um,

213
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: you look at their skit remaining schedule, Chicago, Detroit. Detroit's

214
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: flat out bad. Yeah, I mean I thought they might

215
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: upset the Eagles. How they might be worst in the league.

216
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: Any team with a pass rush is going to just

217
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: destroy them. They have nothing at the Chargers be a

218
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: lot of black and gold there, and at that point

219
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: you might be on a five game winning streak. And

220
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: that's the that's been the one team the Steelers have

221
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: struggled historically. This goes back to Chuck nowhere on the

222
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: West Coast in that in that West Coast times on.

223
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: The one team that they've historically beaten on a regular

224
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: basis out there is the Chargers at Cincinnati, back to

225
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: back road, and I'd like to play them right now.

226
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,239
Speaker 1: Then you get Baltimore at home. Then you get Minnesota

227
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Who's to say what they're like, but I

228
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: bet they're a good team, not a great one. Then

229
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: you get the Titans without Henry, without Henry the chance

230
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: he comes back in ten weeks, but that's gonna be

231
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: soon enough for that right at Kansas City again, Casey

232
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: should have things figured out by then. But Cleveland at home,

233
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: and then at Baltimore to finish things off. But that's

234
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: five wins they're gonna get. They're gonna get the six.

235
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna be six and three. How many can they win?

236
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: There's a minor, minor chance they lose to Chicago. There's

237
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: nothing that they lose to Detroit. Trust me, I'm gonna

238
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: pick him to beat the Bears. I don't see them

239
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: losing to the Bears here without Cleil mac No. I mean,

240
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: Fields have to put on a show. I mean, I

241
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: just don't think it's a slam dog. Well, there's no

242
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: team more or better prepared for a running quarterback and

243
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Is he a better runner than than they

244
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: did let him run yesterday? Right? A lot of those

245
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: were scrambles too. He just chose to um. But there's

246
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: no team that that's better prepared to face that than

247
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers. They do it twice a year. And he's

248
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: not the runner that lak He's not. He's in the

249
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: slightly tier below. He's a little bit bigger guy and

250
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: maybe a little different style. Yeah, but yeah, they'll hit

251
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: him and get him on the grinds. I just wonder

252
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: if he turned a corner a little bit yesterday, So

253
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: maybe not. If you get this, if you get the

254
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: six and three, I think they will then Okay, can

255
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: you win three more? Can you win four more? Yeah?

256
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's a maybe a ten win team, right. Yeah,

257
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: so nobody thought that three weeks ago. Yeah, Uh, then

258
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: you look at the seventh seed right now is the

259
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: Chargers believe it or not? Um, they have some stumbles, man,

260
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what they are. There are another one

261
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: of these teams that I kind of think New England

262
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: and Belichick are bad matchups for them. They showed that

263
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: last week. But they're at Philadelphia. Two of these that

264
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: we call bad matchups who were good matchups. You think

265
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: other teams are gonna copy with the right at Philadelphia,

266
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: then they got Minnesota, then they host the Steelers, and

267
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: they're at Denver at Cincinnati, and they played the Giants

268
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City, at Houston, Denver, in and at Las Vegas.

269
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: There's some wins there for them. I'm like some of

270
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: these other teams. There's three or four that there maybe

271
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: double digit favorites. They could end up still winning the West. Yeah.

272
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: I think they are better football team in the Raiders. Yeah.

273
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: And there's only one game difference between them right now yea,

274
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: and they hold they have to beat him the first time.

275
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: I might bet on them to win the West. Um.

276
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: The Browns are sitting at four and four and they're

277
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: not in a good spot. They're not in a good spot.

278
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: If you look at their schedule. Maybe Cincinnati at New

279
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: England Detroit. Okay, they should win that one at home.

280
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: That might end a losing streak for them. Even if

281
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: they split the two before Detroit. They're not in a

282
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: great it's not in a great spot. Then they go

283
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: to Baltimore, right in the Baltimore and they played Vegas,

284
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: and they're at Green Bay at Pittsburgh, Cincinnati at home.

285
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: They're done. The gimmes are, yeah, that's all behind, like

286
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: they're easy part of the schedule. They already played Houston,

287
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: they already played Chicago, they already played Minnesota. Den you

288
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: give me yeah, Yeah, I think they're They would definitely

289
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: be my vote to be the fourth place team of

290
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: division if we were predicting. I think that's what that

291
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: kind of settled. Yet I'm not settled, but it's certainly

292
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: pushed it in that direction strongly. Then you get Denver.

293
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: Denver's done. Denver's done and just admitted it. But Kansas

294
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: City's remaining schedule, but the Giants tonight, then they play

295
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Interesting, then you're at Vega. What's just spread

296
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: in that game? If that was tonight's it's in. It's

297
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: in Kansas City Chiefs to be favored. Chiefs will end

298
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: up being fair. I'm gonna say Chiefs by one. That's close.

299
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: If it was in Green Bay, it might be green

300
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: Bay by one or green Bay by three. You assume

301
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Adams is playing green Bay by three at them, Okay, yeah,

302
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: then you got Vegas on the road. Dallas Vegas is

303
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: an easy game for them. Either Dallas Dallas is at home,

304
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: then they get there by and they got Denver, Vegas

305
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: at the Chargers, the Steelers at Cincinnati and at Denver

306
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: pretty rough. I mean Denver twice is nicey nice. I

307
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: can see another three or four losses there for the Chiefs.

308
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't think they're like gonna sweep the table.

309
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: We may come back tomorrow and be like they one

310
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: forty nothing tonight, and they'll probably be a playoff team.

311
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: I fully expect that too. I think what's they've done

312
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: this year is they've beaten up on the bad teams

313
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: and lost to every good team that they faced, teams

314
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 1: that were playing well at the time. You know, even

315
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: the Browns in Week one played them real tough and

316
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, right, but beyond those teams, is there anything

317
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: left with New England? All right? Let me take a

318
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: look at I mean, they got another win. I know

319
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: that there. They have four wins now. I think they're

320
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: at Carolina this week, probably favored, probably well, Arnold's bad.

321
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: Then they played Cleveland. Then they're at Atlanta, Tennessee at

322
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: home at Buffalo. They get their bye week at Indianapolis Buffalo.

323
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: They got two games with both their games of Buffalo.

324
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: Still they're not winning either one, probably not, but there

325
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: were some nice ones on it. And then Jacksonville at Miami.

326
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: You could say at Miami, but Miami beat him in

327
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: the opener. I know, I don't where Miami will be

328
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: at that point, but they may be all making reservations

329
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: for golf for week seven, Week eighteen for the Dolphins,

330
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. There was five games. They're just off

331
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: the top of my head, that seemed pretty winnable for them.

332
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: They're sitting on four losses right now. I mean, I

333
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: don't have nine wins get you in, but I bet

334
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: they get to nine. Ishe who knows? And I don't

335
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: think they're a great team either. I overrated them coming

336
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: into the season, but they gotta they gotta coming into

337
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: this they had an easy schedule, yeah, right, and their

338
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: division is pretty bad. But are they gonna beat Cleveland

339
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: at home? That a coin flip right now? That came

340
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: will be over in two hours and fifteen minutes. Yeah,

341
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: that gay Yeah, whose favored on neutral site between the

342
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Browns and Patriots. Probably the Browns slightly? Yeah, yeahs by

343
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: then you know that's right right right? Um wow? So yeah,

344
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: let's look at the Colt super quick, because I remember

345
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: them having a soft schedule. There the terrible five losses,

346
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: they get the Jets, Las wins, play terrible yesterday, he's

347
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: playing well. Before that, they played the Jets, the Jaguars,

348
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: and they play the Bills. Two wins could help them

349
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: all six. I get some the six the two wins,

350
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: they have four wins already, know that they have three

351
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: and five counting. I'm county losses. You're losing. They're losing

352
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, Yeah, probably. Then they got Tampa Bay. That's seven.

353
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: That's seven losses. Then they're at Houston that's seven, and

354
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: the East they're buying New England at home. Yeah, coin flip.

355
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: At Arizona it's probably eight. A's probably eight Las Vegas

356
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: at home. Call it eight and a half or nine

357
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville Okay, so there an eight or nine win

358
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: team too, right, right, right? Yeah, okay, yeah, they don't

359
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: look like a playoff team to me either does New England.

360
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: That those two teams, when you start looking at the

361
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: way the conference is overall, could be the seventh one

362
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: of those could be a seventh seat. I mean, it

363
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: could come down to that game where they play each other.

364
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: Makes sense. I mean, if you look at that set

365
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: from you know, the the teams that are in the

366
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: seven spots right now, the Titans, Raiders, Ravens, Bills, Bengals, Steelers, Chargers,

367
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: who's likely to give up one of those spots? Here

368
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: was a question I was about to ask you, besides

369
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: the Bills, if you could bet on one a f

370
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: C team to just go to the playoffs, who would

371
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: it be? Tennessee? I guess because of the division. I'm

372
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 1: not sure people know this, but they need to win

373
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: four more games essentially right looking at that Indianapolis schedule, Okay,

374
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: I was about to say this, and my phone just

375
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: blew up. The second and they are signing Adrian Peters.

376
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: He was on a plane when I came here or whatever.

377
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: Makes perfect sense for what they ask of that position,

378
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: and he's a total freak, but he's an old much older.

379
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: Their days are ending the ball off and watching you

380
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: know that turns into a three yard touchdown, and just

381
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: the massive ramifications it has Layton games. And how about

382
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: Henry's numbers late in the season, you know, they're mind boggling,

383
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: and like November, he always gets better because everybody else,

384
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: everybody else's worn down, and he's the He's the hammer.

385
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: And I know play action works when you don't run

386
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: the ball as well, but how many times in the

387
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: last and the Henry era have we seen play action?

388
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: Two linebackers step forward, A J. Brown on a crossing

389
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: route behind him, Tannehill hits him in stride, he shrugs

390
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: off a nickel back and goes seventy Like those days

391
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: might be done, you know. So then the season a

392
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: rough spot, but they at least have a lot of

393
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: money in the bag. I think they'd be my second

394
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: choice to go if I had to bet who's gonna

395
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: go to? If I gave you these these teams in

396
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: the top seven right now will be in the playoffs,

397
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: what would you what would your odds be on that? Again,

398
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: it's the Titans, Raiders, Ravens, Bills, Bengal Steelers, Chargers less

399
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: than those of the seven. Okay, well, who gets replaced

400
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: in that? Because I think the Chiefs will go Okay,

401
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: who they replace? Bengals? Okay, right now they're there a

402
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: game behind the Bengals. They do play later this year,

403
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: so I bet they win more games going forward in Cincinnati?

404
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: Does okay? Do you think the Raiders get in? I

405
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: don't feel strong about it. Like if I would go

406
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: look at Vegas odds right now and if it's even

407
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: money for them to go in, or I can make

408
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: money for them not to go in, I might put

409
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: a buck in them missing, like if we were gonna okay,

410
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: we're pretty sure the Titans are getting yeah, based on

411
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: the division. Kind of lucky too. But those two big wins,

412
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: they had a huge Colts Yesterday's massive feel good. If

413
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 1: you had to put odds on the Raiders getting in, okay,

414
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens getting in, Okay, the Bills, we know Bills

415
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: were saying the Bengals fifty, the Steelers. I'm not good

416
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: at this because somebody that's all gonna add up to,

417
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter. The Chargers, those are the seven

418
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: right now. The Patriots get in. The Browns thirty, the

419
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: Broncos more so than than the ten, more so than

420
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I could see the Browns playing playoff level

421
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: football for the last six weeks of the year or whatever.

422
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: Like I think the Patriots have a very low ceiling.

423
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: Like if the Browns start clicking and get healthy, they

424
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: might start beating like Conklin's out for an extended period.

425
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not betting on that, but I could

426
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: picture a world where there moving up the power ranks

427
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: fast and starting to be good. I honestly, I don't

428
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: see any team crashing the party here to get in

429
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: other than the Chiefs. Colts are the long shot. Denver's done,

430
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: and then there's five teams or whatever that I think

431
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots could lose to anybody. I think they could too. Yeah. Wow,

432
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: So we talked about that with the with the NFC,

433
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: which is much more you know, well, they got all

434
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: these one lost teams. Those guys are in. There's only

435
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: two spots are fighting for. It might be more a

436
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: little more settled, and it's never truly settled. We've been

437
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: doing this a long time. The things change, We get that,

438
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: but you can't tell me you don't think the Rams, Arizona, Dallas,

439
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: Green Bay, and Tampa are going to be in the postseason.

440
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: If that's a parlay, it doesn't even pay. You don't

441
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: even make a buck on a buck to win five

442
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: in a row. And then the Saints were the one

443
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: I felt strongest about. They just lost their quarterback the season. Yeah,

444
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: I mean that was a big win for them to

445
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: get to five and two. Massive, But how many more

446
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: are they winning? They might be like the tight where

447
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: that that big win they got yesterday's enough that they

448
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: can withstand about them is that they've we stood this

449
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: in the past when it was breeze and they knew

450
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: he was going to be out for three or four weeks.

451
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: And they have Teddy, Yeah, you know right, and they

452
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: have a great defense. But like they're talking about Cam Newton,

453
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: I got a blurb Taysom Hills. They should they should

454
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: call Denver about Teddy. That's what they should do. Yeah,

455
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they should do. He knows. Maybe they

456
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: are and that's a prediction that's Denver if they're training

457
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: von Miller. Yeah, the Saints are the most aggressive, right,

458
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: what are you gonna? What are you going with Teddy? Yeah,

459
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: that's a good move. Give you a third round pick

460
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: for Teddy. Give you a fourth round pick for Teddy.

461
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: You know it's too much, but how do you say no? Right?

462
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: Play defense? Get Thomas back? Probably the five. You're probably

463
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: the sixth seed. You're still I mean, you're you're a

464
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: You're a game soda. Losing is big for them. You're

465
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: a game behind Tampa Bay and the wind column and

466
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: you beat the head. Yeah, ted he's not great, but

467
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: that's you. Don't you don't skip a beat? Yeah, yeah,

468
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean right now, the Carolina Panthers of the seven

469
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC, who's that going to be? It's

470
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, you got I was. I was a bet

471
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: on Minnesota. I still probably will. It's Carol. Here the

472
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: teams from seven downs Carolina. Hard for the States not

473
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: to get in the playoff Carolina, Minnesota, San Francisco, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Seattle, Chicago,

474
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: New York. Like those teams stink? How far Seattle though?

475
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: Like if Wilson's three and five, could they be a

476
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: nine win teams? Right now? They're they're one game out

477
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: in the wind. Call them they're they're essentially a game

478
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: and a half and a half out. I mean, I

479
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: don't know if he plays this week or not. I

480
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: don't think they're good, but I've doubted that team for

481
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: five years. But They're problem is they played green Bay

482
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: this week at green Bay. Then they got Arizona at Washington,

483
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: San Francisco at Houston. Okay, so they could win those

484
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: three potentially at the Rams probably not Chicago, Detroit at Arizona.

485
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: That might be five wins there, especially with Wilson, But

486
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: that only gets you to eight nine, probably does it though,

487
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: considering the status of you know, like the Carolina Panthers

488
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: still have the New England this week at Arizona, Washington,

489
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: anybody right now? They won yesterday? They who they play?

490
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: They played Atlanta yesterday. Don't they win the game? Yeah?

491
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: They did, So it's you know, Washington, Miami, their bye week,

492
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta again, this one at home at Buffalo, Tampa Bay,

493
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and then at Tampa Bay. So then there's

494
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: three or four there. Yeah, I don't know, but to me,

495
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: the the a f C is fascinating. I think, Yeah,

496
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: that was such a huge window for the Steelers esterday

497
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: to get that one. You couldn't afford to go to

498
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: and two in the Division. If we had this conversation

499
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: with the Steel to loss, I'd probably be like chance again,

500
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: kind of like we said about I think their anthor

501
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: chances are actually higher than your forty eight or whatever

502
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: you say. I think I think I put them in

503
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: like sixty's great. Just looking at where everybody else is

504
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: and like, are the are the Jets? The Jets aren't

505
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: They're not. There's we know, Miami, Houston, Jacksonville, the Jets,

506
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos, those teams are out of it. Oh yeah, Jags, right, Yeah,

507
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: mean there's a handful of teams that are out of it.

508
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: And Denver basically, even though they won, basically has told

509
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: us we're out of it. Yeah, they announce to the world. Yeah, yeah,

510
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: Theyver winning record. I'd be I love that bridge. I'd

511
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: be calling Denver and like trying to aid, can we

512
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: get to Shelby Harris or somebody off you know right?

513
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if I was Baltimore, I'll give you a

514
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: third fourth round pick from Melvin Gordon. I mean, give
