Speaker 2: us too. Our number two here, final hour of the

5
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: Drive this week, as we come down the home stretch

6
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 2: and are getting closer and closer to a big one

7
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: between the Bengals and the Steelers, big one for both teams,

8
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: big one for the AFC North outlook, the entire AFC

9
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: Conference playoff push. We will go around the league here

10
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: in a few minutes in preview and predict all of

11
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: these games across the week eleven slate here is we

12
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: get closer and closer to the holidays, the road gets narrower, yarrow.

13
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: You have got some big games across the NFL this weekend, uh,

14
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: and we will get to all of that in just

15
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: a few minutes. But before we do that, Matt, the

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: Steelers Friday practice report, injury report is across the timeline here,

17
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: so we've got some substantial news. Let's go all right,

18
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: let's go with who's been ruled out at this point.

19
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 2: The Steelers will be without Darius Slay. He's ruled out

20
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: with the concussion. Alex Highsmith, and Cole Holcombe ruled out

21
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: still Sunday against the Bengals.

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: I mean, those are three guys that played a lot

23
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: of snaps and it's not a great offense to be

24
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 3: losing dudes. Again, No, it's not.

25
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: And again I think sligh we all expected. Yes, the

26
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: other two we were leaning a little more towards the

27
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: optimistic side.

28
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Of the I'll be all right.

29
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Especially Yeah, he was limited yesterday in practice, no part

30
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: of me. He had not practiced all week and did

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: not practice again today, so he has been ruled out

32
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: for Sunday again, as has Holcombe. He was the one

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: who was limited in practice yesterday but did it something,

34
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: did not practice today, so tough, tough to see in

35
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: that regard. Questionable for Sunday is Isaac Sayamalu. Okay, he

36
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: was limited. It was limited with the with the peck

37
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: limited with the peck injury, but is listed as questionable

38
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: and even though he is not practiced all week, Corey

39
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: Thrice Junior listed as questionable as well too for Sunday.

40
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: Really still hasn't practiced.

41
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: Windows windows been open, but yeah.

42
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: So you know, I uh, I don't know.

43
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: Exactly what there, but.

44
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, intrigued I'm with you. I'm with you on that one,

45
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: very very very intrigued by by that one. There. Certainly

46
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: I would be surprised, of course.

47
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: But after being on IR, I'm thinking, well, maybe next

48
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: week then, yeah, we'll see.

49
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: Maybe at least it's a good sign in that regard.

50
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe at least there's progress.

51
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: I tell you what, It would be a good week

52
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: to have him back in theory.

53
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, albeit, I mean he hasn't played, but exactly right.

54
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: Albeit, you don't know how rusty he's gonna be and

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: what he's going to look like and all that, but

56
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: you'd like to have as many defensive backs kind of

57
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: all hands on deck.

58
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: I mean, if sam does play and Trice doesn't play,

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 3: you only have three corners. It's true on game day,

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: that's true, which makes me lean towards Samuel is going

61
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: to get a helmet. I don't know how much you'll play,

62
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: but I bet he gets a helmet.

63
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: Man.

64
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if I were him, one.

65
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: Of those two would almost have to write now that

66
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: you mentioned it, that's almost a process of elimination.

67
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: Ramsey can always move back. It's a little different than

68
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: other such team situations, but you can't just go with

69
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: three corners. You're one injury away from not having a nickel, correct, Yeah, yeah.

70
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: Yeah correct. Roderick Jones will play no full practice participate today. Yeah,

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: he's over with that groin. He's he's he's set to go.

72
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: Green light for him, as is Scotty Miller. We mentioned

73
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: that yesterday he had been practicing all week after missing

74
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks with that broken finger. And bro

75
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: Peppers as well, too, good full participant today, cleared. Good

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: to go with that with that groin, no injury designation

77
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: for him as well.

78
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I'd like Peppers on the field.

79
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: I was just going to ask you, like, what do

80
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: you what would you like to see his role be

81
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: on Sunday.

82
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 3: That's the thing. I don't know how exactly he fits

83
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: in unless and I shouldn't even throw this out there,

84
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: unless Ramsey would be your slot and then Peppers and

85
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: Dugger your two safeties. But I think they're pretty happy

86
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: and intent on not moving.

87
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: I think they like Ramsey back there, at least especially

88
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: until Deshaun Elliott. If Deshaun Elliott gets back. Yeah, yeah,

89
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: you want to have kind of like one veteran playing.

90
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: I think he's a safety. Yeah, I mean unless you'd

91
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: lose two corners on game day or something, you know, Yes, yes,

92
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: I don't wear that leaves Peppers, but yeah, I am interested.

93
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: Somebody else in that secondary is gonna have to get

94
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: some playing time, Gonna have to get some yeah, yeah, right,

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: I mean other than the.

96
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: Five gonna play a lot.

97
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: Five that we know here is gonna play a lot.

98
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: Joey Porter Junior obviously, Brandon Echoles obviously, two safeties, the

99
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: two starting safeties, Ramsey and soon to be friend of

100
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: the show Kyle Duggar.

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: But after that, how about Peppers, Who's who's.

102
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: Six and seven?

103
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: Right?

104
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: Because they're gonna have to They're gonna have to play.

105
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: And Pierre is going to be a core special teamer

106
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: even if he's a quote starter on this. That's a

107
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 3: great point too, right, there's a lot of juggling.

108
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: That's a lot of work for him.

109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 3: That's a lot of work.

110
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: Run up and down the field with Chase and Higgins.

111
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: Right, and he'll be a gunner and then be a

112
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: gunner Jamar Chase, you know, right, Yeah, don't love that,

113
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: don't know, don't love that.

114
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: Don't love that. Uh Matt still still some you know,

115
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: some designation for Joe Flacco and that right shoulder as

116
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: well too. He's gonna play. I don't think that's sure.

117
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: I don't think that part surprises anybody. But that might

118
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: be another kind of wrinkle in this one potential fly

119
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: in the ointment. How healthy is Joe Flacco? Really?

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

121
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: And again, can you get to him early in the

122
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 2: first quarter? Can you make that shoulder that's feeling a

123
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: little sore in November when those hits are adding up

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: a little bit more? Can you get to him and

125
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: make him uncomfortable early on?

126
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: That's what I'm gonna say is I'm sure he's gonna play,

127
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: and I'm sure he'll look great right away, But what

128
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: about after you hit him three four times? You know,

129
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 3: you gotta think his chances of finishing the game are lessen, yes,

130
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: you know, or his ability to be as sharp throwing

131
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: the football or lesson. You know, I might looking for

132
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: anyone to get hurt, but completely agree. Yeah, a quarterback

133
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: getting hitting the throwing shoulder that's already sore could be.

134
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: A problem, absolutely, right, especially one who's his age, you know,

135
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: exactly right, Like you said, you said with Rogers, you know,

136
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: there's a big difference between taking those hits and those

137
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: bumps and bruises at thirty one and forty.

138
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: One, especially once to see and gets about this point.

139
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: I feel that too, Matt Man. I'm thirty four now,

140
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, those you know, those cross country trips on

141
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: a plane after Sunday night football and getting back home

142
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: on a couple of hours. Dude, When I was, you know,

143
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: when I was twenty four, twenty five, twenty six, working

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: in minor league hockey, riding on those crappy, dumpy busses

145
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: all across the country, I was like, this is fine,

146
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: I'll be all right.

147
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: Now.

148
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: It's like my sleep schedule gets thrown off once and

149
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm a wreck. I'm a wreck for

150
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: a week to get back on schedule, and I can't

151
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: imagine what it's like for those guys, Matt. Before we

152
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: go to break, come back, go around the league on

153
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: the other side again, we'll continue to tease it and

154
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: remind you we will have Kyle Dugger on with us

155
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: in the final segment of the show as well. Today, Matt,

156
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: Last Night, Patriots take Care of Business twenty seven to fourteen.

157
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: Maybe a little closer than comfort. Jets, Yeah, Jets hung

158
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: around for a while. The man Drake May looked the

159
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: part once again.

160
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: The papers found the end zone three times. Things got a.

161
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: Lot good start to the week for my fantasy football team, Henderson, Baby.

162
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: I was torn between Henderson and Aaron Jones, and I

163
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: went with Henderson. So I'm glad I got quite well.

164
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm glad you did. I mean Stefan Diggs with nine

165
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: receptions in one hundred and five yards. They ran the

166
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: ball effectively.

167
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: Uh, that is pretty legit too. I mean, the Jets

168
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: aren't going to win many more games.

169
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: But I'm nearing credit. They played alright. I thought they

170
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: played hard, hung around like I thought Justin Fields did

171
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: all right.

172
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean his numbers weren't great, but he wasn't terrible, right,

173
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: you know, he made enough play.

174
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: And accounted for two touchdowns with his arm one on

175
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: the ground. You're right, he's throwing.

176
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: To Donny Mitchell, who just got there, John Metchi, right,

177
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: he just got there.

178
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 2: We just got there as well.

179
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: There gone.

180
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, I continue to think, man, that Patriots team,

181
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: what the ultimate ceiling is, I don't know, and I

182
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 2: don't think we will know until they get into the

183
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: playoffs now.

184
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: But they're going to playoffs, but they're.

185
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: Going to the playoffs, and they're gonna be dangerous with

186
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: that defense, with the wave. Rabel has them playing with

187
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: the level up that Drake May has taken this year. Yeah,

188
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: that's a team I don't want to see in the posts.

189
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: No, I mean, they're good on both sides the ball.

190
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: I think you gotta love Rabel as a coach too.

191
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I think he's been a massive difference maker.

192
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 3: I think the Patriots have a real shot at the

193
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: one seed and getting a buye. I mean, you looked

194
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: at our upcoming schedule. They're not going to be a

195
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: dog very often. No one more time.

196
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: But I was gonna say they might only have one,

197
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: maybe two more games the rest of the way where

198
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: they're not favored.

199
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

200
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: Right, it's a good place to be in if you're

201
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 2: the Patriots.

202
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: I'm buying them. I'm not sure that they can beat

203
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: Mahomes or you know what I mean in the playoffs,

204
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: you know, but they could be a yeah, yeah, yeah right.

205
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: I think that's a little different beast. But they could

206
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: be the one seed. That's crazy, right.

207
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: They have a loss since they've lost to the Steelers,

208
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: which that game feels like it was years ago.

209
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: It does? It does?

210
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: Man? Eight straight wins they're at I believe so, yeah,

211
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: because they were right.

212
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: Yes, its right, Yeah they said that last time.

213
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I believe. I believe that's the case. Eight

214
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: straight wins, Man, them and the Broncos have just continued

215
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: to rattle off wins. The Broncos have a tough one

216
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: with the Chiefs rolling into town this weekend.

217
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 3: There's three or four headliner game, headliner game we'll get.

218
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: To, and you know what, let's do that now. Let's

219
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: take a break here. We'll do a little bit of

220
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: a beefier around the league segment when we return, and

221
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: then we will close down with a conversation with Kyle

222
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: Duggar and of course with our score predictions on Steelers Bengles.

223
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: All of that still to come as we roll along

224
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: West Shuler, Matt Williamson on a Friday. Here, it's the

225
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: Drive on Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network.

226
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Your tune's about Drive on your twenty four to seven

227
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal.

228
00:10:48,440 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 4: Steelers Nation Radio.

229
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: Week eleven on tap across the National Football League this weekend,

230
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: and there are some big ones. Matt let's jump into it,

231
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: let's comb over it, let's go through it. Some thoughts,

232
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: some predictions on each of these contests here in Week eleven,

233
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: as the holidays approach and the road begins to narrow.

234
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: Do you remember last Wednesday, Matt on Best of the West,

235
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: ahead of going to Sofi Stadium, I gave you my

236
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 2: top ten favorite stadiums I've ever been to. So I

237
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 2: was number two. Do you buy chance? Remember what was

238
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: number one? I won't blame you if you don't mean.

239
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: I would get in a multiple choice, but not filling

240
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: the blank.

241
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: It was the Santiago Bernabo right in Madrid, May in Madrid, Spain.

242
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: Of course I knew the home of Real Madrid. Well, Matt,

243
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: there at nine to thirty our times, someday you're doing

244
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: Santiago in a bow. Will be the first ever NFL

245
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: game in Madrid?

246
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 3: Is that the last nine thirty game?

247
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: I believe?

248
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: So, okay, think about that.

249
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: I want to say, I think this is the last one.

250
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: I'll be riating the studio with Tom doing pregame at that.

251
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: Point you will be. And so when you're what when

252
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: you guys have that game on the TVs, make sure

253
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: you're looking and be like.

254
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: Oh, West was right.

255
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: That place looks that place looks pretty sick, right, Miami

256
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: there is the host team for the first ever NFL

257
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: regular season game in Spain. They host the Washington Commanders. Sorry,

258
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: Madrid not sending our best and our brightest.

259
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 3: No it's not. But you don't even get Daniels or

260
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: you know.

261
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: It's a beat up roster for both of the teams

262
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: as well to Miami two and a half point favorites.

263
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: It's amazing that they're starting to become favorites and respected.

264
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: But I'm kind of on board. I mean, I think

265
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: he might save his jobs.

266
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: I think they're a pushover.

267
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 3: I don't think they're a pushover. They moved the football,

268
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: they got weapons or fast. I think Washington's in a

269
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: terrible spot. I'll think the Dolphins mind points.

270
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: I think it is already late for the Washington Commander. Yeah,

271
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: let down of a season after what they did last year.

272
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: They don't have their young, promising superstar quarterback.

273
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: They're in a real bind big picture too. They're old.

274
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: I know I've told you this joke before, but Motes

275
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: would always make the all right team can couon on three?

276
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: When you get to that point in the season where

277
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: everyone's making their travel plans and looking forward to januaryyighbor

278
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 2: more so than Miami is definitely more so than Miami.

279
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: I think the Commanders are in in in vacation planning

280
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: mode and just kind of crawl into the finish line

281
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: of the season. I think Miami minus two and a half.

282
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 2: I might even take that number if it was more

283
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: like four and a half five and a half. I

284
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: think the Dolphins are feeling good about themselves. They've got

285
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: a little momentum. They're the host team, and so I

286
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: think they'll want to show well over there in Spain.

287
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: I like the Dolphins to win and cover.

288
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: Washington used to be like the best running team in

289
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: the league, and they still can run the ball reasonably well.

290
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: But Miami's run defense got a lot better too.

291
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: Yes, but their defense isn't.

292
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: Honestly, it's not as bad as you think.

293
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, must be that mega Fitzpatrick guy on the back end.

294
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: Into the one o'clock slate Division rivalry. Here is Atlanta

295
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: host Carolina. Now remember Matt last time these teams played

296
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: about a month ago.

297
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: He's like the two most unpredictable teams, only.

298
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: Maybe the two most unpredictable teams in the league. Dolphins

299
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: might be high on that list too, right Carolina uh

300
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: smacked Atlanta around at home thirty to nothing. I think

301
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: was the final score, you know, like five six weeks

302
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: ago when these teams met. Now they're at the Mercedes

303
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: Benz Stadium in Atlanta, another one of my favorite stadiums

304
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: in the league. The Falcons a three and a half

305
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: point favorite at home.

306
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: I'm going with Atlanta. I don't feel strong about it.

307
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: There's a couple of games I feel real strong about.

308
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 3: We'll get to them, some of the bigger ones. But

309
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 3: I just don't know what you didn't get from Carolina.

310
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: They usually run the ball on everybody, and I would

311
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 3: think that they have success on the ground. But I

312
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: also think Atlanta is just more talented. A guy wanted

313
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: to highlight it is Jalen Walker, their first round pick,

314
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: the hi out of at Georgia.

315
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: He's really good, starting to come on along.

316
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's really good. He's gonna be a really

317
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: good player. I'm not big on Pierce, the other guy,

318
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: but I think Walker's going to be a star.

319
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: It's been a long time since they've had a defensive

320
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: star there, particularly one rushing.

321
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: The quarterback gets sacks. Yeah, yeah, I'll reluctantly take the

322
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: Falcons and lay the points.

323
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: I wish that number was a little lower, more than

324
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: one and a half two and a half, But I'm

325
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: with you. I think Atlanta wants some revenge. I think

326
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: Atlanta has been much better at home this season than

327
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: they've been on the road, and that loss for Carolina

328
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: last week to drop them to five and five was tough.

329
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: They might be another one of those they were kind

330
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: of gripping the rope and staying in it for a while.

331
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, is there too much oil on that rope

332
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: now and they're about to lose their grip on getting

333
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: meaningful games?

334
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: They should be really looking towards tomorrow.

335
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, I agree with you on that.

336
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: One.

337
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: One of these certainly five star matchups to keep an

338
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: eye on this weekend, Matt happens in Buffalo, where all

339
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: of a sudden, Tampa Bay is looking for a win.

340
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: Buffalo's really looking for some wins to keep pace with

341
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: the Patriots at high Mark Stadium. I think this is

342
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: only one of two one o'clock kickoffs there this year

343
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: for the Bills. Oh yeah, So many of their games

344
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: being in primetime. I'm pretty sure they only have two

345
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: home one o'clock games all season. This is one of them,

346
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: and the Bills are five and a half point favorites

347
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: at home against Baker and the Bucks.

348
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: I think that numbers too big, say I want the

349
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: point one. Yeah, they run the ball extremely well, the Bills,

350
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 3: but Tampa's run defense with v to A in the

351
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: middle is really really good. I think these teams are

352
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: both on like the same tier, you know, if I

353
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: were to tier, I think they're both Tier two teams

354
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: right now. No Godwin, no Bucky Irvings. Sounds that they're close.

355
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: They might be next week, but they still have enough

356
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: on offense. I think they keep this close.

357
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: I do too. This feels to me like this Buffalo

358
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: Bills team has done this a couple of times this year,

359
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: where they're all the sudden in a tight spot and

360
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: they find a way to get it and get a result.

361
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: Five and a half is a pretty big number against

362
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: against an offense like the Bucks. I think Buffalo wins,

363
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: but I'll take the points and this might definitely be

364
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: one of those Matt, you and I talk about this sometimes,

365
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 2: they like I would try and tease this and maybe

366
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: even get it up to six and a half, seven,

367
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: seven and a half, and then I think you'd really

368
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 2: be feeling good about tea.

369
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear what you're saying, but I think.

370
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: But I still like five and a half.

371
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: There's three or four games that are headliner types that

372
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: I think the dog might just as good a chance

373
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 3: to win as the favorite, and this is one of them.

374
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 3: So if you're gonna be five and a half, I'm

375
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: very comfortable with that.

376
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: I think I know what a couple of the other

377
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: matchups are that you might be talking about, but we

378
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: will get to those, and just man, there are there's

379
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: some really really good ones this weekend as we continue

380
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: to roll along here. This might not be one of them,

381
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 2: but it's very important for Houston. In Nashville at Tennessee

382
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: Nissan Stadium, Music City USA, the Texans five and a

383
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: half point favorites on the road, despite remember no CJ

384
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: Straut a second straight week.

385
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 3: They won last week without them, they did against.

386
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: The Jags against a better team all home, but against

387
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: a better team, I.

388
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 3: Still think that number is too low to Houston's defense

389
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 3: is maybe the best in the league.

390
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: They might frustrate the heck out of cam warden company.

391
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 3: I can see six seven, eight sacks. I like Ward,

392
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: but Tata says so much around him. I'll definitely take

393
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: Houston here. Mills isn't horrible.

394
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 2: Either, No, he's not. He's a competent back up.

395
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: He'll be in the league for eight more years and yeah,

396
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: retire in multim.

397
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: Let make a decent living for himself. Yeah yeah, uh, Matt.

398
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: A big one in the NFC North, A big one

399
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 2: in the NFC wild card picture as the Vikings host

400
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: the Bears.

401
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a big game.

402
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 2: The upstart Chicago Bears and a Vikings team that is

403
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: kind of at that crossroads of if you win, you

404
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: still got plenty to play for. If you lose, you're

405
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: really going to be trying to really hurt them.

406
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: In that division, You're then you're clearly fourth.

407
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: And as you and I have talked about, the NFC

408
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: feels loaded. It feels like there's going to be at

409
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: least one good team that gets left out of the

410
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: playoff picture in the NFC Minnesota two and a half

411
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: point favorites at home. I think the.

412
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 3: Bears win it straight out. Yeah, yeah, I mean, this

413
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 3: is one of the good ones I felt really good about. Like,

414
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 3: I think the Bears are playing better. I think they

415
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: have the better quarterback, maybe equal coaching at this point,

416
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: you know, which is a compliment to both sides. I

417
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 3: mean both really well coached teams. I think the Bears

418
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: are pretty decent and we're going to dig into them

419
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 3: in a week and I think there's gonna be some things.

420
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: Like they're doing some good things.

421
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: They've won five of their last six. That Loan loss

422
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 2: was a close one in Baltimore. Way take they lost

423
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: the Ravens. Their defense gives up a lot of yardage,

424
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 2: but they take the ball away a lot. To me,

425
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: this comes down to can Flores find a way to

426
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 2: frustrate and confuse Caleb Williams.

427
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: You know what, though he's getting better and better with

428
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: that stuff, he's taking a.

429
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: Lot with that stuff. And I feel like this Vikings

430
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: defense has successfully frustrated and confused its opponents less and

431
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: less and less throughout the season.

432
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: I think the same thing. It's like, it's good, but.

433
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: It's not what I was last year.

434
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 3: I think four is a great coach, but there's some

435
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 3: smoking mirrors involved there, and eventually you just need to

436
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: have win one on one matchups more and they son

437
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: great players. Like I remember we previewed Steelers Vikes. I'm like,

438
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 3: boy that Vikings d might be better than the Steelers, but

439
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how many Vikings would start for the Steelers.

440
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: Harrison Smith three, who knows right? I am with you.

441
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't love this one because again this if Minnesota

442
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: would have put in a solid performance, it wouldn't surprise

443
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: me at all. Bears take a little bit of a

444
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 2: step back on the road. Divisional foe wouldn't surprise me

445
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: at all. But I think I'm with you. I'm leaning

446
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 2: towards give me the Bears plus two and a half

447
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: as well another one teasing up to three and a

448
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: half or four and a half. I really like Chicago.

449
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: The g men, the giants at MetLife hosting the Green

450
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: Bay Packers who are looking to get back in the

451
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: win column.

452
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 3: James Winston always makes it fun.

453
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: Man eat at w couldn't wait? Hold on, everybody, is

454
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: there any potential for snow in New Jersey this Sunday?

455
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: Could Jamis Winston have himself a second snowball? The Packers

456
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: six and a half point favorites at MetLife.

457
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 3: I don't feel strong on way or another about that

458
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: with the line. I bet the Packers win, but they're

459
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 3: hard to kind of count on right now.

460
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: Especially against quote unquote bad teams. I know, it's like

461
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: they show up against the good teams, they lay duds

462
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: against the teams they should beat.

463
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: I think the points at home, I think Winston gives

464
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 3: every team a shot in the arm. People love them.

465
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: They do love them.

466
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, it kind of wears thin after a while, but

467
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 3: everyone loves them.

468
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna lay the points of Green Bay.

469
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 2: Don't love it because they got to win by a

470
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: touchdown and you could see a last minute kind of

471
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: backdoor cover for the Giants. But I just I'm not

472
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 2: putting my faith in either of the New York teams

473
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: to do anything at this point. Jacksonville hosting the Chargers.

474
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: Matt stop me if I've said this already. But another

475
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: big one for playoff implications this Sun. There's four or

476
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: five of these with massive playoff implications.

477
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 3: So I mentioned on other airways, I don't think I

478
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 3: did yesterday, But listen to Aaron Shotts, who is the

479
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 3: godfather of football analytics and used to be football siders,

480
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 3: that this is the most instrumental, the biggest okay in terms.

481
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: Of winner and loser in their playoff.

482
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: Probably Wings go if it was winning a loss, like

483
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: the Jags would really be in trouble with a loss.

484
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 3: Chargers after beating the Steelers would have two really good

485
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: AFC wins, be really set, you know, when all your

486
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,239
Speaker 3: tie breakers against who you're fighting with.

487
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: The wild Guards three and would have a lot of

488
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 2: tie breakers.

489
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 3: I'm torn on this one.

490
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: Chargers two and a half point favorites in Jacksonville.

491
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I originally was feeling really strong about Jacksonville just

492
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 3: because I think that Charger O line. I mean, Herbert

493
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: cut hit every time he threw and the ball tame

494
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: out his hands and two point two. I mean, but

495
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: I also have a lot more respect for the Chargers defense.

496
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 3: I have less respect for their line and more respect

497
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: for their defense after watching and the play stealers intently,

498
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 3: and some people are already talking about Chargers decordinator we

499
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: getting the head job. I mean, like he's doing great,

500
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 3: great stuff. I'll take the points at home for a

501
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 3: desperate Jags team. But my hesitation is I've been a

502
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 3: Laurence supporter for a long time.

503
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: You've head onto that stock a long and most.

504
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 3: That that limbs getting pretty weak.

505
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: Started to become like Bitcoin at this point.

506
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 3: And I'm such a Herbert fan. I mean, they've clearly

507
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: the better quarterback, but I'm gonna take the Jags and

508
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 3: the points at home.

509
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: Your two biggest crushes are Herbert in May.

510
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're pretty high on the list.

511
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 2: I'm worried about Jacksonville. Like all their wide receivers are

512
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 2: beat up.

513
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: It's a mess.

514
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean their top three wide receivers are either

515
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: hurt or out.

516
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: On ir Orers and Parker Washington.

517
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Parker Washington's banged up now too, Robinson's banged up,

518
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: Hunters out. I feel like the Chargers. We talk a

519
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: lot about how the Seattle Seahawks make these trips across

520
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 2: the co for the one o'clock games, which are typically

521
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: doomsday for West Coast teams. Yeah, and they always end

522
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 2: up winning. I feel like the Chargers are kind of

523
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: the stereotype. They come across the coast for these one

524
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 2: o'clock games and they always end up losing. I feel like,

525
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: having said that, I don't know, I feel like the

526
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: Chargers are onto something. I feel like, despite their ragtag

527
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 2: offensive line, they continue to find ways to win, they

528
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: continue to find ways to run the football. I got

529
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: some faith that that defense is going to frustrate Trevor

530
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: Lawrence and company. I think I'm gonna lay the points

531
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: with lay, but I don't like it.

532
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 3: I can see both sides.

533
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: I don't like this one, and I don't like the

534
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: Minnesota Chicago one.

535
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 3: I love the Chicago one.

536
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: Matt, I know you're gonna love this matchup. Four o'clock game,

537
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: A huge one again for divisional and playoff implications between

538
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: maybe the two best teams in the NFL at the moment.

539
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: I think the four best teams in the NFL are

540
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: playing each other this.

541
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: Game and this week Rams is Seahawks Yeah, and Eagles Lions.

542
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. There might tier team one teams right now in

543
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: the league.

544
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: Seattle goes to La Sofi Stadiums, scene of the crime

545
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: last Sunday night for the Steelers. The Rams a three

546
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite at home against the Seahawks.

547
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: I also think the winner is probably the MVP leader

548
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: in the clubhouse too. I mean, people don't look at

549
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 3: Darnold in that light, but they should.

550
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: They absolutely should right now.

551
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: My vote to be Stafford if I had a vote.

552
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: Drake May is starting to really make some headway in

553
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: that conversation too, and I.

554
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 3: Wouldn't forget about my homes. By the way, I I

555
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 3: bet his odds have gotten a little better, but just

556
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 3: thrown that out there. Seattle is also way better. And

557
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: the only thing you can complain about with the Rams.

558
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 3: Our special teams aren't great, and Seattle's like best.

559
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: No leads changed their kicker the Rams rightday last week.

560
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 3: I think. Doesn't shock me. I know that everything's been

561
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 3: in flux. This is another one where I am very

562
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: confident to take the points. I'm not saying Seattle's gonna win,

563
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: but I think that that give him a.

564
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: You give them more than a field goal, you're gonna

565
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: take it. Yeah.

566
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 3: I give them like a forty nine percent chance to win,

567
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 3: kind of like I did Bears Vikes. So if you're

568
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 3: gonna give me points, sign me.

569
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: Up, Matt. If you're gonna give me Seattle points on

570
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: the road, I'm gonna take them. Every time. Handful of

571
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: years is win road games.

572
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: Yep.

573
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's if it's if it's

574
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 2: Carol or McDonald coaching, doesn't matter if it's Gino or

575
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 2: if it's Darnold at.

576
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks Coast or East Coast.

577
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: All they do is win road games. The last couple

578
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: of years that this Seattle team has the secret sauce

579
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: for winning on the road. You're gonna give me Seattle

580
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 2: more than a field goal on the road. Yeah, I'm

581
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: taking the Seahawks plus three and a half nothing. Another

582
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: one of those games where nothing would surprise me. Rams

583
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: might be the best team in the NFL.

584
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 3: They would be my boat right now for number one,

585
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: but it's not.

586
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: And that it'll also probably be one of those bowl

587
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: game type fifty to fifty atmospheres there. I'm sure there's

588
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: a lot of seas fans in Arizona, Matt. The Niners

589
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 2: look to get back on track and kind of hang

590
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 2: around the divisional and the wild card playoff conversation despite

591
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: the just laundry list of injuries they've had this year.

592
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: Arizona's got a ton of injuries right now.

593
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 2: Arizona's got a ton of injuries too. So in Glendale

594
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: at State Farm Stadium there Arizona a two and a

595
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: half point underdog. At home, the Niners laying two and

596
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: a half.

597
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 3: I don't think the Niners. I just think Shanahan has

598
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 3: I mean, we obviously know he's a good coach. He's

599
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: won a lot of games this league, but this year

600
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 3: more than ever, I just trust him to deal with

601
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 3: the injuries better, you know, minimize the weaknesses that are

602
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 3: creating a job of it's ow. I don't know Arizona

603
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 3: can do that. You know their staff and Brissett's gonna

604
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 3: kind of turn into a pumpkin too. You know, yes,

605
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 3: we might get party in this game.

606
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 2: We very well could. That is something to keep an

607
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: eye on. I think this will be a battle for

608
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: San Francisco, but I think they'll find a way to

609
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: get it done in the end. In Cleveland, Matt the

610
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 2: lowest over under of the week as the yeah as

611
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens head to Cleveland. You know what's funny is,

612
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 2: remember last week we had so many double digit spreads.

613
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: They're just like ten and a half, twelve and a half,

614
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: fourteen and a half.

615
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 3: Last night was a huge one, right.

616
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: Biggest spread of Sunday is Baltimore seven and a half

617
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: point favorites. That's it.

618
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 3: That's number one.

619
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: That's the only more than a touchdown favorite. Green Bay

620
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: six and a half. But this is the only one

621
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: that's like even close. Really, Uh, Baltimore seven and a

622
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: half point favorites a four to twenty five kickoff in Cleveland.

623
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: I don't feel great about it, but I'll take the point.

624
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 2: I mean might lean that way too.

625
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 3: Really, I just think the Browns d is very, very

626
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: legit at home. There's still some questions about the Ravens.

627
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: Like I was asked today the Ravens back. I'm like, well,

628
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: I picked them to win the Super Bowl. I don't

629
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: know that they're back to like the best team in

630
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: the league. Yeah, I think they're back to being way

631
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: better than they've been exactly. Yes, formidable, a playoff caliber team,

632
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: But if I were to repick, I wouldn't pick them

633
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: as the best team in the league. They still have.

634
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: They still showed a lot of warts early in the season.

635
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: D line O line that's you know, questionable.

636
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: Whether in Cleveland looks okay. That's always something you got

637
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on this time of year. Yeah,

638
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: small chance of precipitation gonna be like thirty eight degrees

639
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: so cold but not freezing.

640
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: Lamar's off the injury report, by the way, too, that

641
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: was just like a one day blip or whatever.

642
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: Hey, twenty five mile an hour wins, though expected during

643
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: kickoff in Cleveland, m we'll see. I'm leaning towards taking

644
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: the points as well too. I think Baltimore wins, but

645
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: I don't think they blow them out. I think the

646
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: Browns keep it tight. That's what the Browns have done

647
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: against good teams this year.

648
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Judkins can run a little bit, and

649
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: you know.

650
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: I think I will take the seven. But this might

651
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: be another one that I would try and put part

652
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: of a part of a teaser and maybe get it

653
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: up to nine and a half instead of seven and

654
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: a half. Matt two more to get to and they

655
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: are two more five stars. This is one of those sundays.

656
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, I'm gonna be jacked up and

657
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: be excited to be at Akrocher Stadium, But this is

658
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: one of those sundays I wish I could just order pizza,

659
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: that I wish I was just a civilian. I wish

660
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: I was just a muggle. I say that to my

661
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: wife all the time. You get the Harry Potter reference there,

662
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: and I've never.

663
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: Seen one minute Kerry Potter.

664
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: And wizards called non wizards muggles, Okay, basic people who

665
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: don't know magic, like civilians. Civilian I wish I was

666
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: just a muggle on Sunday and could just sit there

667
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: with my feet up and order some pizza and order

668
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: some wings.

669
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do that, and I'm not a muggle or.

670
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: Big shirk uh four in Denver Mile High Stadium, Broncos

671
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: looking to really keep a stranglehold on the AFC West

672
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: Chiefs looking to not go five hundred and get back

673
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 2: in the win column. Kansas City despite an eight game

674
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: win streak and home advantage for Denver, Kansas City a

675
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: three and a half point favorite.

676
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: Ooh, last I saw it was two and a half,

677
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: and I was pretty excited about that. Three and a

678
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: half with that defense might change my mind. I mean,

679
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: that's a terrible big that's a big difference.

680
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: It's a big difference.

681
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 3: It's a big difference. I'm still going with Kansas City.

682
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: Uh Andy Reid off a bye. I think this is

683
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: this isn't exactly analytical, but this is probably the first

684
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 3: time in five years that Reid Mahomes, Kelsey Jones, Spagnolo,

685
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 3: I've actually had to worry about how the regular season

686
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: might go, right, you know what I mean, Like and frankly,

687
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: I think they're better this year than they were last year.

688
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: And they were like fifteen to two last year and

689
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: they're one game over five hundred now.

690
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: They were really fifteen and one in the games that

691
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: they tried to win, yest, yeah, because they're one of

692
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: Their second loss was the last week of the season

693
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: against the Broncos when they started.

694
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know don is hard to play.

695
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 3: But they've done it. That is good.

696
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: But they don't have certain You and I talked a

697
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 2: little about big crossroads Sunday For a lot of these teams,

698
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: a lot of these games, a lot of these divisional races.

699
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: To me, the Chiefs exemplify that. Yeah, it's put up

700
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: a shut up time.

701
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So they can't be like, oh, we'll just

702
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: turn it on. You're right, you're five and four and

703
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: do you want to a third place in your division?

704
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: You wan know something crazy? Right now? They're five and

705
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: four and third place in their division. Do you want

706
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: to know who the betting favorite in that division still is?

707
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: Oh? I know it's Chiefs.

708
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: You want to know who the Souper Bowl betting odds

709
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 2: favorite still is?

710
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 3: The Chiefs?

711
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 2: And overall slightly better than the Eagles in the Rams.

712
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

713
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: So if you're the Kansas City Chiefs and you're still

714
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 2: favored to win your division and your favor to win

715
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, you can't fall to five. Like eventually

716
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: the results start to matter.

717
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: A loss year. This is the first time you're scared

718
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: for five years.

719
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: You remember, like, do you remember, like two weeks ago

720
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: when I was laughing I mentioned it on the show

721
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 2: for like ninety seconds when Lane Kiffin was like, we

722
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: should just let Las Vegas pick the twelve teams for

723
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: the college football Playoff because they their lines are always

724
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: so good and they know this stuff so well. Why

725
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: don't we just let Vegas? And I was like, oh, yeah,

726
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: tell that the James Franklin and Penn State who lost

727
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: back to back weeks is three touchdown favorites, which really

728
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: just let Vegas. This is one of those moments. Vegas

729
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: is almost always right. I've been to Vegas many times.

730
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: I see the big buildings, the casinos. The perception of

731
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 2: the Chiefs needs to change. If they fall to five

732
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: and five, I'm sorry. The games matter.

733
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 3: The results matter with a loss, yes.

734
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: But if they go into eight and two, Denver Mile

735
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: High Stadium, crazy environment, good Broncos team, great Broncos defense.

736
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: Then I'm starting to be like, Okay, maybe they can

737
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: just turn the switch on and they're going to be

738
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: all right. This is a real big narrative game for Kansas.

739
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: But if I were to ask you who's your pick

740
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: in the AFC to go to the Super Bowl this

741
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 3: year today Friday, would it be the Chiefs. I think

742
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 3: they'd be mine to win it all.

743
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: But I think it says more about how I feel

744
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: about the Colts and the Broncos and the Patriots that

745
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: I don't trust any evening of them to go to

746
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.

747
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: Like Kansas City going to New England Nation Championship game

748
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: be favored by ten points.

749
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: Okay, So if you ask me that question right now again,

750
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: if I have to put a chip on one team,

751
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: it would be the Chiefs if they lose Sundays. But

752
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: I'll also tell you this right now too, and this

753
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: might be a little bit of a cop out, but

754
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 2: you can tell me if this is fair or not,

755
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 2: if you're giving me the Chiefs or the field in

756
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 2: the AFC. This is the first time in seven or

757
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: eight years that I'm taking the field.

758
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm definitely taking the field.

759
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, last, but certainly not least here. Matt Detroit

760
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia. Good Sunday night. This is good. I'll be

761
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: home in time to pizza and wings and be a

762
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: muggle and enjoy myself for this one. Detroit in Philly.

763
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 2: The Eagles two and a half point favorites. This could

764
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: be an NFC Championship preview.

765
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 3: They could. Both these teams are really really good. They're

766
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 3: also my Tier one. I like how the Eagles defense

767
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 3: is playing the Lions within the Campbell taking over as

768
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: a play caller gave them a jolt. They got the

769
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: ball like in Gibbs and Jamison Williams hands more. They're electric,

770
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: fast playmaker types. And frankly, I would take the home

771
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: team in this game. Both those places are hard to play.

772
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 3: You're very familiar with teams going in the Eagles on

773
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 3: a night game is not gonna be fun. And the

774
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 3: spread's not enough for me to go away. Yeah, I mean,

775
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 3: I'm taking the home team, and it's not quite enough

776
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 3: for me to give it to the Lions. That's right.

777
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 2: If it was three and a half or four and

778
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 2: a half, you'd be like, give me the line with

779
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 2: the points.

780
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd take three and a half the Lions anywhere

781
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 3: against anybody.

782
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna lay the points with the Eagles

783
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: as well. I think I'm with you on that, just

784
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 2: because much like the Chiefs, like I'm I'm gonna give

785
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 2: the Eagles the benefit of the doubt until it until

786
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: they prove me.

787
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

788
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 2: And I think the Lions have earned a lot of

789
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 2: that too. But Philly, especially at home, man, it is

790
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: tough to go in there and win Sunday night environment.

791
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: Those people are gonna be all jacked up on cheese,

792
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 2: steaks and cheap beers, and I think it'll be a

793
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 2: great game. I think Philly pulls it out in the end. Matt,

794
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: there is our Week eleven Slate. Man, you said it,

795
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: and you were correct. That is a great I mean

796
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: there are like five or six almost MutS must watch

797
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 2: games in there, including Steelers and Bengals. On the other side,

798
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk to newest safety of your Pittsburgh Steelers,

799
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 2: Kyle Dugger, and we are also going to give our

800
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: prediction for what we think will happen in Steelers. All

801
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 2: of that and more as we wrap this thing up

802
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 2: when we return with a special guest, Well Shuler, Matt Williamson.

803
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: It's the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers

804
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 2: Audio Network, your tunes.

805
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

806
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

807
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: Back on the Drive here on a Friday, getting ready

808
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: for a big AFC North clash between the Bengals and

809
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 2: the Steelers at home Sunday at one o'clock. Joining us

810
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 2: now a new member of the Steelers secondary, of course,

811
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: Safety Kyle Douggar. Kyle, thank you so much for taking

812
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: the time. And I imagine these last couple weeks have

813
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: in a little bit of a whirlwind for.

814
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 3: You, no doubt. And Uh, I wouldn't say WorldWind.

815
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 5: Uh, it's just been a lot of work. Uh, definitely

816
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 5: would have been on the pedal.

817
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: So, Kyle, I'm curious. There's another newer member of Sante

818
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 3: Samuel of the secondary, and I have no idea if

819
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: he's a player or not. And I'm not asking any

820
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 3: inside scoop on that, but if he were to play,

821
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 3: he's kind of in the same situation as you were,

822
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: not many days to prepare for the new team. What

823
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 3: would you recommend to him? You know, make that transition

824
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: a little easier.

825
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 5: Uh, just a lot of film out of uh, being

826
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 5: in playbooks, spending a lot of time with the coaches,

827
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 5: and just kind of making the most of every second

828
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 5: up until game day.

829
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 3: As far as studying that game had to be a

830
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 3: lot to digest for you. You doing it live, it was.

831
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 3: It was fun.

832
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: I said that, Well, Kyle, I got to imagine too,

833
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: like you, you know, to to use a Mike tomlinism.

834
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: You did a great job of hopping on the moving

835
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: train colts win and getting ingrained with everything you were

836
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: being asked to do. Is that maybe a little bit

837
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: easier when you've got a veteran coach like Mike Tomlin,

838
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 2: a defense that is, you know, also full of experienced

839
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: veterans like TJ and Cam and Ramsey and Slay. Did

840
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 2: that at least make things a little bit more comfortable,

841
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: a little bit easier on your end.

842
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 5: Most definitely those guys specifically in that situation, obviously making

843
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 5: plays all around me and in.

844
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 3: The communication was huge.

845
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 5: They were you know, they obviously knew the situation that

846
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 5: we're making sure that we were communicating every snap and

847
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 5: just flowing at the defense.

848
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 3: So I know you and Jabriel Peppers haven't been on

849
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 3: the field together as a stealer yet, but I would

850
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 3: imagine coming from one system and helping you translate it

851
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: into this system. That Peppers has been a useful guy

852
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 3: from you coming from New England, right for sure.

853
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and like a personal translator, simplifying everything for.

854
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: Me, Kyle. Obviously, it's not a simple task for you

855
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 2: guys this Sunday against one of the NFL's high flying

856
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: offense veteran quarterback and Joe Flacco, maybe the best receiver

857
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: in the NFL, and Jamar Chase and another incredible one

858
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 2: in t Higgins. What's kind of the task at hand

859
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 2: to slow down this Bengals offense that's been putting up

860
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: a lot of yards, putting up a lot of points

861
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: the last few weeks.

862
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 5: I would say making them one dimension is definitely attesting

863
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 5: the goal stopping a run and then just executing shooting

864
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 5: our defenses and winning our one eleven. But definitely making

865
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 5: a one dimension will make things easier.

866
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 3: Kyle. My last question for you is you were drafted

867
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 3: by Bill Belichick, right, Yeah, obviously one of the greatest

868
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: coaches in NFL history. Like, what kind of influence did

869
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 3: he have on you early in your career, and I'm

870
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 3: sure you learned a lot. And you know what did

871
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 3: he preach to you, guys.

872
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 5: Discipline, big on discipline, and he had a really different

873
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 5: kind of understanding as far as defenses go, and so

874
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 5: he he kind of was super focused on taking away

875
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 5: what you know, opposing team to do best. And as

876
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 5: a safety, I was, you know, pre snapped looks, disguises

877
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 5: and things like that.

878
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 2: Okay, Kyle, thank you so much for taking the time.

879
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 2: We know it's a busy time of the year for

880
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: you guys on game day here on a Friday. Thank

881
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: you for giving us a few minutes of your time.

882
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 2: And uh and go give him hell on Sunday. Thanks,

883
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 2: thank you. There he goes, Kyle Dugger the newest Well,

884
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 2: I guess I can't say that Samuel Jr. Is now

885
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: technically the newest member, although maybe until he's officially activated

886
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: to the fifty three, maybe we continue can continue to

887
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 2: get away with it. But thanks to Makaya and everybody

888
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 2: at Steelers pr for setting that up for us and

889
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 2: for Kyle for taking some time there at a busy

890
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: time in the week for those guys. Certainly a big

891
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 2: opportunity for him and for that secondary on Sunday, Man.

892
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, huge challenge, too, huge.

893
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: Challenge against the Bengals at home one o'clock the rematch

894
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 2: in this Cincinnati Pittsburgh rivalry where the Steelers are five

895
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: and a half point favorites at home. Matt, what's your

896
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 2: prediction for this one? How does it play out? That's

897
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 2: a pretty big number.

898
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 3: I picked my number before I knew the line, but

899
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 3: it's basically right on there. I have the Steelers winning

900
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 3: thirty five thirty, So I guess not covering. I didn't

901
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 3: give a line to any thought, to be honest.

902
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: With you, close to covering, but right there.

903
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it comes back to proud organization,

904
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 3: proud quarterback that didn't show their best, that should rebound

905
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 3: well at home, as Missy mentioned, and one o'clock at

906
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 3: home normalcy, I think goes a long way. And in

907
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 3: the end, I'll be blown away if the Bengals defense

908
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: makes more splash plays than the Steelers defense, and that

909
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 3: was to me, that was the difference in the game.

910
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 3: You know, neither defense stopped anybody in that game, as

911
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 3: all Bengals games are, but one side had splash and

912
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: the other side didn't. And if you, I think three

913
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 3: out of four times that's side to be the Steelers

914
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 3: not the Bengals, you know, maybe nine out of ten times.

915
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And hopefully Cincinnati got away with it the

916
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 2: one time at pay Course Stadium a few weeks ago.

917
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: But the bank or the Steelers will get their vengeance.

918
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: Part of me, Matt, I have the Steelers winning but

919
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: not covering as well. Thirty to twenty seven, all right,

920
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: is what I'm gonna go with.

921
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: So not like a low scoring games.

922
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 5: So it is.

923
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 2: You know what though the over under forty nine and

924
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 2: a half is not that's not massive.

925
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 3: I would have guess it's like fifty seven. Yeah, yeah, mid.

926
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: Fifty Yeah, it would have been my guess. Yeah. Absolutely,

927
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: So Matt and I both taken the Steelers to win,

928
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: get back in the win column, get to six and four,

929
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: and set up what would be a fun trip to

930
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 2: the Windy City between the Steelers and the Bears next weekend.

931
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 2: But that will do it for us today, Matt. So

932
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 2: thanks to man. We got a couple people to thank today,

933
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,919
Speaker 2: Missy Matthews for joining us, Kyle Duggar for joining us again.

934
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: Big thanks to Macaiah from Steelers PR for setting that

935
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: one up for us, and of course mister TV Tyler

936
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,000
