13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: the upcoming NFL season, and we know it is right

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: on the horizon.

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 3: It's Week one in the NFL, but we did.

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: Want to take a step back in take a look

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: at the National Football League, give you our thoughts on

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: who's going to play in Super Bowl fifty eight and fellas.

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: And let's start with the American Football Conference only because

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: it comes first alphabetically. You have a Kansas City Chiefs

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 2: team that is playing on Thursday, night against the Lions.

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: We know that there's injury issues, you know that there's

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: holdout issues, But Mike, they still are the defending champs.

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: And if you want to be the champs, you're likely

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: going to have to beat the champs. Oh that's not

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: a bad rig, Flair. I think we blew out our

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: speakers with that one. But hey, Ric Flair has done

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: worse than his lifetime.

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 4: Yeah. Actually, infomercials and all of the documentaries. I know

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 4: the changing as well.

31
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize it, but I was holding up

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: four fingers as I was talking to you. But the

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: Chiefs the defending champs, Mike, Let's start with Kansas City.

34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: I mean, is this a team prime to repeat? Every

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: time you want to count them out, they'll end up

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: blowing a team out by twenty four points. And then

37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: when you think they're gonna be on cruise control, maybe

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: it's a little bit closer. But they still are the

39
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: defending Super Bowl champions. Let's start with Kansas City and

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: the AFC.

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean when you look at KC, you know,

42
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: last year everybody wrote them off, right, they got rid

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: of Tyreek Hill, It's all going to go to hell. Well,

44
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: you distribute the ball amongst multiple players, and then you

45
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 4: have Kelsey healthy, put a big star and astisk next

46
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: to him for a moment, and defensively they made plays

47
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: as necessary tested Ben don't break and you've always got

48
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 4: Mahomes to get you over the top. This year, whole

49
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: new wide receiver. It's almost like they want to have

50
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: everybody that plays have an opportunity to get a ring.

51
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 4: So it's like, you guys all got a ring last year.

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 4: Get out. So we're bringing in a whole new crew

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: of characters across the board. And Valde Scantling is going

54
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: to be interesting from a target perspective, and obviously wondering

55
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 4: Isaiah Pacheco how much he is going to be a

56
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: workhorse versus will you still see a bunch of the

57
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: backups along the way right? Does it become a two

58
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: or three man committee? But the two biggest questions entering

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: the season is Jones gonna get paid? Is he gonna

60
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: be happy? And the hyper extension of the knee from

61
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: Travis Kelce What does that mean? What does that mean?

62
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: Is that one week to two weeks? Is that four weeks?

63
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: I don't know because really we've seen what it means

64
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: to go through arrowhead as with the home field advantage.

65
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 4: And while it may not matter in Game one against Detroit,

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 4: right because hey it's the opener, folks are gonna do

67
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: overreaction one way or another. Anyway, is Kelsey available for

68
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: the stretch run? Right now? I anxiously moved to the

69
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: front of my chair, going all right, now, this just

70
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: got interesting.

71
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it completely did.

72
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: As if the AFC was an already interesting person. Because

73
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: we know how good that the Cincinnati Bengals were took

74
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: them to the limit again in the AFC Championship game.

75
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: The AFC East got a heck of a lot more

76
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: interesting in this offseason. And then you have the upstart

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. We'll get to them in a second. AFC South.

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: But you know, I didn't even talk about the contenders

79
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: in their own division, but there seems to be plenty

80
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: of firepower around the AFC obviously.

81
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, I think when we're looking at the top contenders,

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 5: because and you and I have had this conversation, Dan,

83
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 5: when I'm trying to figure out who I'm going to

84
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: pick to come out of the AFC, there's a good

85
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 5: like six or seven teams where if I said them,

86
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 5: people would respect my pick. You know, like you have

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 5: the Chiefs, the Bengals, you can go with, the Chargers,

88
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 5: you can go obviously, Bills, Dolphins, even the Jets. Quite frankly, like,

89
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 5: there are so many strong teams at the top of

90
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: the AFC, and all of them with loaded offenses, loaded

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 5: skill positions, loaded fantasy value.

92
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: I find it interesting on how down I am about.

93
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills.

94
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: I just guys, I have Josh Allen in my leagues

95
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: and as a team. I still think that things play

96
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: out as they did at the end of last year

97
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: and then of the offseason. I don't think that this

98
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: team is tight bonded. You don't have Von Miller, which

99
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: I think it could be good fantasy wise for the

100
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills because may be in some shootouts. But I'm

101
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: having a tough time believing in anything right now in

102
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills, still in their running games questions, I

103
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: am not a believer in Buffalo.

104
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: Well.

105
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 4: I think it still comes down to the how much

106
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 4: is real versus imagined? Of Stefan Diggs, right, because you

107
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 4: know there's some very loud mouths in our business who

108
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 4: had Digs and well other folks, I mean, let's call

109
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 4: it what it is. It was one lineup of guys

110
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 4: just saying you don't know what you're talking about. Shut

111
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: up when making bold proclamations about how disgruntled and salty

112
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: they are about their situations. But might there be an

113
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: element of truth there? Sure, whenever there's a change at coordinator.

114
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 4: And that's the other thing that's league wide that we

115
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 4: have to watch sixteen new offensive coordinators fellas across this NFL,

116
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 4: so we have no idea, you know how quickly stuff

117
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 4: gets to churn. But do you believe in James Cook

118
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 4: just because he's got the same sir as a you know,

119
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: multi thousand yard rusher Damian Harris? All Right, he's been

120
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: good at times between the tackles and certainly at the

121
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 4: goal line. But is he is he still got that

122
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: push to him and Josh Allen. The turnovers were high.

123
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 4: How much is attributed to injury versus forcing it, et cetera.

124
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: You know, I took some flyers in fantasy leagues on

125
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: Gabe Davis hoping that we cash out. And to your point,

126
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,119
Speaker 4: Dan if von Miller is not able to get back

127
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 4: for a while, Yeah, let's get those shootouts, Get the

128
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: popcorn ready, because it's gonna get crazy.

129
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm inspect deav in the middle of a draft right now.

130
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: Not that I'm not paying attention to this podcast because

131
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: I am. Gave Davis went a lot higher than I

132
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: expected interesting in this draft, and I was high on

133
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis. I think I think we had like two

134
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: episodes last year. I was like all about Gabe Davis,

135
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: and my whole point was, if you're playing the number

136
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: two wide receivers on other teams, then you should be

137
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: playing Gabe Davis because he was w R two in

138
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: Buffalo for a team that could throw for four hundred

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: yards in any given a week. But he is going

140
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: higher than I thought. And maybe it's not because I'm

141
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: because I was so high on Gabe Davis and the

142
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: Bills last year that now, because I'm backtracking on it,

143
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: I think that I'm not as high in him this

144
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: time around. Easy for me to say, I don't know,

145
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: I'm not a big Gabe Davis lover this time around.

146
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: There you go, You've dived off the bandwagon. Him and

147
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: Clyde Edwards Hilaria two guys that are on your do

148
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: not draft list.

149
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: Division wise.

150
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: In the AFC, it's fun picking divisions because you always

151
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: want to find that team that's maybe the sleeper that

152
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: can move up. I just can't not Kansas City out

153
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: of the AFC West. This is what my decka you know,

154
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: my hand of cards looks like. In the AFC deck,

155
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: Kansas City I have winning the AFC West. I don't

156
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: think that's much of a surprise. I have Jacksonville winning

157
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: the AFC South, not much of a surprise. I am

158
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: picking Pittsburgh to win the AFC North, and I did

159
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: go with the Jets to win the AFC East. That's

160
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: how my four look. Across the top of the divisions

161
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: of the AFC.

162
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 5: I go pretty chalk. In terms of division winners, I

163
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: still think I still think I'll have the Chiefs winning

164
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 5: the West, even though I think the Chargers will grab

165
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 5: a wild card and probably should win that division. Jaguars

166
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 5: out of the South. I still think that the Bengals

167
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: will take the North, even with Joe Burrow's health concerns.

168
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: But I do like the Ravens a lot. I'm very

169
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 5: much buying into this idea of Todd Munket's offense there especially,

170
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 5: and I think we can really dive into the Ravens

171
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 5: receiving corps. Is very interesting for fantasy because you don't

172
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 5: know which one is going to be the one that

173
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: really breaks out of it, but you kind of feel

174
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 5: like someone is absolutely going to.

175
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: It's just Mark Andrews. Everything else is gonna fluctuate. At

176
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: least that's how I see it. Everybody's gonna get fed.

177
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: It's just a matter of win.

178
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, And in the East, I'm still going to

179
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 5: stick with the Bills timidly, but I'm also going to

180
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 5: say that the Jets are going to make it as

181
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 5: a wild card, which kind of hurts for me on

182
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 5: a personal level, but feelings aside, I'm gonna let that.

183
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 5: Let that go. In my main league, I assumed Garrett

184
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 5: Wilson was going to be kept because he had ridiculous

185
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 5: keeper value, Like ninth round. This guy was able to

186
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 5: keep Garrett Wilson in the ninth round, and I think

187
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 5: he just didn't notice it because he at the start

188
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 5: of the draft set, I'm keeping George Pickens in the

189
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 5: eighth round, and I turned to my friends, I'm like,

190
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 5: what in the hell is he doing?

191
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: But okay, I mean I love these some George Pickens.

192
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: But I mean, so you watch all those training camp videos,

193
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 4: I guess so I.

194
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 5: Think that's all he watched for the last like five months.

195
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 5: So so then I got to jump at Garrett Wilson

196
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 5: in the second round, which I absolutely loved. So yeah,

197
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 5: I'm definitely buying into that Jets offense, so that those

198
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 5: are my picks.

199
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 4: Then you're like that Dan going, hey, look at this

200
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 4: roube Aha, I took him Chiefs up top the West, No,

201
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 4: no anxiety there. Chargers will be charging at some point.

202
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: It's just inevitable. You look at the and I don't

203
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 4: trust Russell Wilson to save anything. The Raiders are what

204
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: they are. The South. I mean, I've been talking about

205
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars, but you know, now, everybody, it's like overloading.

206
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 4: So do I go back to Tannehill and Hopkins and

207
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 4: decide King Henry's got enough on his shoulders to carry

208
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 4: them through. Yeah, why don't I do that? Why don't

209
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 4: I take the Titans to win some slop because I

210
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 4: think the Texans and Colts are gonna be good enough

211
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 4: to just mess things up a little bit, and so

212
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 4: I'll take the Titans to come out. I think the

213
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 4: Jaguars still make the playoffs in the North. I'm so

214
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 4: heavily invested on Lamar Jackson, but the entire time I'm

215
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 4: sitting there going, you're gonna get over twelve games this year,

216
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 4: aren't you? Aren't you? Aren't you? Please? And obviously they

217
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 4: had all their stuff with the wide receivers to what

218
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 4: burst saying before. Now it's who stays healthy? Is Odell

219
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 4: Beckham Junior any resemblance of the guy we knew once

220
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 4: upon a time. We do know. If Mark Andrews is healthy,

221
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: he's a beast. And then the backfield, Dobbins and company

222
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 4: should give them ample opportunity to make some plays. And

223
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 4: Jackson's still with his legs. Steelers are interesting as well,

224
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: but they're starting to become everybody's late darling here as well.

225
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: And then I can't turn my back on the Buffalo

226
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: Bills because I can't have the Jets in for personal reasons, Burush,

227
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: I can't. It's got to be a disaster, you know, this, Buyer,

228
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 4: You know this as well as anybody. If they play well,

229
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: I'm in hell for six months. And maybe I deserve that,

230
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 4: Maybe I deserve that, maybe karma, you know, to go

231
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: into all the Taylor Swift songs. Maybe that's what I deserve.

232
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: I will say I do think the Dolphins are the

233
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: wild card at all of this. Yeah, you know, and

234
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: if you really want to, like take a step back,

235
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: like if Vic Fangio can turn around that defense, that offense,

236
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: if they get moving, they may be more well rounded

237
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: of the entire bunch. Like, I don't think it's I

238
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: don't think it's far fetched to say that if Tua

239
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: stays healthy, that offense is going to produce more than

240
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: the Jets offense. But I agree, I mean, yeah, yeah,

241
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: people will say that Aaron Rodgers is a better quarterback

242
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: than Tua, But if you look at it as a whole,

243
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 2: in what they have, I would actually rather take what

244
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: Miami has, at least the year of what they have,

245
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: than what the Jets have. And then now, if Miami's

246
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: defense could just get better, it may not match to

247
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 2: the Jets level. But they're a little bit more even

248
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: than you would think. It's just a matter of where

249
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: do you think they are against stacking up against Buffalo.

250
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: You guys are higher on the bills than I am.

251
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 4: Now the Jets are talking like they're going to go

252
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 4: after the eighty five Bears. Come on, come with that

253
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 4: nonsense over there.

254
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: It was difficult picking a wildcard team as well in

255
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: the AFC because you have your division winners and then

256
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: you're like, okay, well, if you picked the Chiefs, obviously

257
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: the Chargers are there. Depending on who you guys picked

258
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: in the you know, AFC North, I had Pittsburgh. So

259
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there picking on Buffalo or Cincinnati and or

260
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: excuse me, Baltimore and Cincinnati and trying and trying to

261
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 2: sort it out. But yeah, there's gonna there's gonna be

262
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: a couple of good teams that are left out of

263
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: the AFC playoff pixture in the end. Who plays in

264
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: Super Bowl fifty eight?

265
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 4: In your mind from the AFC, Well, first off, can

266
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 4: we trade any of them and relegate them to the

267
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 4: NFC for a year, so we achieved balance. Since we

268
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 4: love parody so much, you know, I had him in

269
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 4: as a wildcard coming in off of the South with Tennessee.

270
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 4: I stated it on the Sunday Morning Show with Furman

271
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 4: and Bucky Brooks. I repeated here, and it wasn't just

272
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 4: a Curry favor with Bucky who works for the Jaguars,

273
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: but I got the Jaguars representing in Lawsow.

274
00:13:53,480 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: Wow, Doug Peterson back into the promised land bursting. Are

275
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: you sticking your neck out as far as Harmon.

276
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 3: Is in the a f C.

277
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: I mean maybe because I don't have a neck though, Dan,

278
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 4: yes you do.

279
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I.

280
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 5: I guess I would be picking a team that I

281
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 5: also have as a wild card team. And and no,

282
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 5: I'm not picking the Jets to go to the super

283
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 5: Bowl because I can't.

284
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 4: I well, you'd be afraid of what I do to

285
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 4: you exactly.

286
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 5: Exactly if there there are plenty of reasons why. That

287
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 5: just terrifies me. I feel like the Chargers have so

288
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 5: much talent that it's got to work for them at

289
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 5: some point. And so, uh my pick, timid timidly would

290
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 5: be the Chargers to to make it out of the AFC,

291
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 5: because I, quite frankly, I believe that the difference that

292
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 5: Kellen Moore can hopefully provide to that offense and hopefully

293
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 5: they get healthier as a as a team. Exactly there

294
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 5: we go. So yeah, I will I will pick the

295
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 5: Chargers to come out of the AFC.

296
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: All right, so we've got Jaguars Chargers. None of us

297
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: are picking the Chiefs. None of us are going with

298
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: the repeat. I just believe in Cincinnati. I think that

299
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: this is their window. I don't know how far the

300
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: window is going to be open, but just them losing

301
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: and how they lost in the AFC Championship Game just

302
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: does not make me ever want to bet against them.

303
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: I think the Bengals go back to the Super Bowl

304
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: for the second time in three years.

305
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 4: Let's get it on. Maybe they'll appreciate it more. The

306
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 4: fans were a little too happy leaving the leaving Sofi

307
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: Stadium a couple of years ago after a loss.

308
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: That's Mike's way of telling you burst that he had

309
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: a front row seat to this bad boy, the Super

310
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: Bowl fifty six.

311
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: One of the super paid for it. Nobody gave me

312
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 4: any tickets out.

313
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, break all you want, talk about it all.

314
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 4: You want, just saying I paid for and I can talk.

315
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: About Oh well, hey, they'll then be happy to be

316
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: there for the second time in three years. There you go,

317
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: if my predictions are correct. All right, there's a look

318
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: at the AFC. We're gonna come back with a look

319
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: at the NFC, and then we can match up our

320
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: Super Bowl matchups. It's all here and I want your flex.

321
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: I'm also this league, by the way, is IDP.

322
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: Oh boy.

323
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: So we are now in the point where like Josie

324
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: Jewel just went above Odell Beckham Junior and Kirk Cousins.

325
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: How much are tackles worth in this league?

326
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? Like I hate this league.

327
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 4: Well, I remember drafting in one when IDP really wasn't

328
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 4: a thing and someone decided to get cute and then

329
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: they It was so weighted that if you drafted two

330
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: linebackers in the first four rounds, you won because tackles

331
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 4: were worth essentially a touchdown. It's like, I gotta get

332
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 4: score to a thousand points a middle linebacker? Look at

333
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 4: what is that? Home games? He scores even more?

334
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: Who went first to your draft?

335
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: Say?

336
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 4: Ou just a big Chargers fan?

337
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: Oh?

338
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 4: Scoring? But it's the old adage of hey, make sure

339
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 4: you read the rules before you d to the draft

340
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: from and your commissioner may have done something.

341
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: Dumb showing up at work and you're all pissed off,

342
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 2: like what's wrong? He's like I played against Patrick Willis

343
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: this week, didn't you see?

344
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: No?

345
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 3: I didn't.

346
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 2: He had fourteen tackles.

347
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: Had forced bumble at the was worth ten boys man this.

348
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: Is a good story. We should have been rolling on it.

349
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: Unfortunately I'm recorded. Oh all right, guess what you're getting here.

350
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: We can figure out a way to put that in

351
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: the podcast. Yeah, all right, Now we'll come back with

352
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: our NFC predictions. Yeah, we thought we ended the AFC

353
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: and then we just started shooting the bull and it

354
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: was kind of funny, so we just left it in.

355
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: Why not, You know, we can do that. It's our podcast.

356
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: Who cares. It's not like the podcast officials are going to,

357
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: you know, throw a fifteen yard penalty on us.

358
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: Uh.

359
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the NFC very top heavy in terms

360
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: of when we look at prediction wise, people feel that

361
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 2: the Eagles and the Niners are the class of the

362
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: National Football Conference.

363
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: Is there something we're missing, Mike in the NFC?

364
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 4: Well, I think you've got a little bit of cannibalization

365
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 4: that comes into play, right, everybody throws the South away.

366
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 4: There's a little bit of excitement about jacked up Derek

367
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 4: Carr and the Saints, but otherwise it's just gonna push

368
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 4: it off, right. Young quarterbacks, retread quarterbacks? What is Baker

369
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 4: Mayfield in this iteration? Does he hold off Kyle Trask forever,

370
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 4: So you know, a little bit of love just saying,

371
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 4: all right, they're gonna win the division, which gives them

372
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 4: a puncher's chance going forward the North. Everybody's on board

373
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: Campbell and the Lions. Right, it's suddenly become the overweighted.

374
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 4: But I don't hear a lot of it of Hey,

375
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: they're going to make a deep run. It's like, all right,

376
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 4: they'll beat the best of these also rans in the division,

377
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 4: and then it gets thrown off. And you mentioned the Eagles.

378
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 4: I don't know that it's going to be necessarily as easy.

379
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 4: New coordinator shuffle up a little bit division wise, Commanders

380
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: is going to be good enough just to screw with folks. Right,

381
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 4: we look at it from a fantasy perspective. You got

382
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 4: multiple viable guys in there. Whether the quarterback is I

383
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 4: don't know, but those numbers are coming from somewhere. Right,

384
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 4: when we look at the wide receivers, tight end, running

385
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 4: back position and the Giants, they might screw around and

386
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 4: be a little better in that passing game too. Right,

387
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 4: A bunch of fortification and if Barkley stays healthy, Daniel

388
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 4: Jones got paid. Now it's sound to go produce, So

389
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 4: you know, I would hold off on the old you know,

390
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 4: you want to crown them, crown them. I won't. I

391
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 4: won't because I think there's a bit of a letdown

392
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: in the City of Brotherly Love. And it's not because

393
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 4: of James Harden or any of those guys that normally

394
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 4: fail come basketball season.

395
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm right there with you and versus you can

396
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: hop in. And I don't feel the Eagles either. I

397
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: feel like we overhype them. We forget their head coach

398
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: had to have their quarterback Tom to shut up during

399
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl because he was mouthing off to the

400
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: other team. Like the adult in the room is Jalen Hurts. Yeah,

401
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: and as you said, coordinator's gone got changes there. And

402
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: again everybody's praising them for drafting Jalen Carter. There's a

403
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: reason he felled the ninth right, you know, like like

404
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 2: like it's it's not that Howie Roseman is Harry Potter.

405
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 3: You know.

406
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: So I just yeah, I'm with you. I'm not drinking

407
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: the Eagles kool aid. And you'll see why a little

408
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 2: bit later on.

409
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think what's super interesting and what people forget

410
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 5: about the NFC East is and maybe this is also

411
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 5: a testament to just how good the Eagles were last season.

412
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: The Commanders were fourth in the NFC East and finished

413
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 5: eight eight and one. No team finished below five hundred

414
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 5: in that division.

415
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 4: And there's no back to back winners of the division

416
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 4: and whatever as long as Bursch has been alive.

417
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, that's right. So I think that looking at

418
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 5: the Eagles, I think it does feel like there will

419
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 5: be that sort of step back, just offensively because of

420
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 5: the new changes to the system. Also, like Mike you

421
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 5: mentioned the Commanders, I am praying because of the amount

422
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 5: of shares I have in this guy, Eric B. Enemy,

423
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 5: what you did with Jack McKinnon over the last like

424
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 5: two months of the season last year, and Antonio Gibson

425
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 5: is better than that guy. Just do that with him

426
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 5: for the entire season, Like please. I'm seriously excited because

427
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 5: I think that the Commanders have very intriguing offensive pieces.

428
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 5: With Eric V Enemy now in town, these guys could

429
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 5: put up legit numbers. But looking at that division as

430
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 5: a whole, I don't want to jump a little too

431
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 5: far ahead, but I'm rather high on the Cowboys, and

432
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 5: I think the only thing that feels weird about that

433
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 5: is just saying the sentence, I'm rather high on the

434
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys. But quite frankly, if we take emotion out

435
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 5: of it and look at things logically, that defense is

436
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 5: incredibly stacked. The offense, yes, you don't have Kellen Moore

437
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 5: there anymore, but you have these pieces that have been

438
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 5: in place for a couple of years. Brandon Cooks, who

439
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 5: we've mentioned many times on this podcast. Yeah, he took

440
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 5: a step back last season in terms of his consistency,

441
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 5: but now you're putting him on a better offense, like

442
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 5: he could very well produce in that offense. And Tony Pollard,

443
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 5: I feel like, is the most kind of overlooked stud

444
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 5: line stud running back in fantasy. Just the numbers he

445
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 5: put up last season, and now with Zeke not taking

446
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 5: away those goal line carries, I'm not scared of Malik

447
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 5: Davis or Deuce Vaughan taking those from him. He's going

448
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 5: to have so much work his numbers are going to

449
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 5: be phenomenal. I Yeah, I'm rather high on the Cowboys.

450
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 4: I'm just worried if his body holds up.

451
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: Dan.

452
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 4: When it comes to Tony Pollard, that's my only reservation

453
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 4: is is he a guy that should top out at

454
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 4: fifteen touches or can you really run him for twenty

455
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 4: five a game, run and catch and get him through

456
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 4: a season.

457
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: I know this isn't fair. I just don't know if

458
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: I trust Mike McCarthy fair.

459
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, like definitely fair. Yeah.

460
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 4: That's been a long time since he won a title,

461
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: the right and he is under the thumb of the Joneses.

462
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

463
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's that would be my you know, my trepidation,

464
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 2: if you will. I like the Giants. I love the

465
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 2: Giants like there is something about the nature of that team,

466
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: and I know this is there's not data being right

467
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: now the second team in that city for a team

468
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: that sure feels like they, you know, have a chip

469
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: on their shoulder and something to prove. Getting their butts

470
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: kicked by the Eagles and divisional playoff game I think

471
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 2: could be the best thing for them. Even though Saquon

472
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 2: kind of got his boost, Daniel Jones got his contract,

473
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: I'm picking the Giants to win the NFC East this year.

474
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, you.

475
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 2: I think there's a vibe about them and with with Dable,

476
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm loading up on the Giants, maybe even

477
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: more than you'd.

478
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 4: Expect you know, Dan, it kind of plays out and

479
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 4: you know, we do these things, these narratives year to year.

480
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 4: It's kind of like Miami under Flores. Now that that

481
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 4: ended oddly, I think when it all comes down to it,

482
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: but you had a team that wanted to play for him,

483
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 4: right and at times it looked like, you know, they're

484
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 4: overmatched if you went you know, roster to roster and overachieved,

485
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 4: but they actually wanted to play. And that's the thing

486
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 4: you have with the Giants that I don't think should

487
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: be taken for granted, that you Dable gets the best

488
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: out of these guys, and that there's and now with

489
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers and all of that attention. Yeah, you want

490
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 4: to talk about being salty, and you're being you know,

491
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 4: everybody's mocking what you did with your quarterback room or

492
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 4: the fact that you were able to shake a few

493
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 4: nickels out for Sakuon Barkley. You know, all of those things.

494
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 4: It's kind of dismissed. And the Cowboys and the Eagles

495
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 4: are the ones getting all the ink in division, you know,

496
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 4: right rightly wrongly for some of it. So sure, yeah,

497
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 4: I'm on board with you.

498
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 5: And from a fantasy perspective, I am biting hard at

499
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 5: the Darren Waller hype. I'm I'm fully on board because

500
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones doesn't hasn't had a target as good as

501
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 5: Darren Wahler sure in his time there, and if anybody's

502
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 5: going to know how to use him in this offense

503
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 5: as Brian Dable, there are you know, beat reporters making

504
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 5: jokes about the fact that they would take Darren Waller

505
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: off the field just to force Daniel Jones to throw

506
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 5: to other people in practice, like he's getting that level

507
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 5: of work and it's the hype is very real. So

508
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 5: uh yeah, I've been I've been trying to get shares

509
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 5: of Darren Waller, but I think other people are also

510
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 5: catching onto that hype, so I haven't enabled to as much.

511
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 2: So you're trying to tell me that my late ron

512
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 2: pick of Isaiah Hodgens may not be as well or

513
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: as well received.

514
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 4: I think it goes back to what we're saying with

515
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 4: the with the Ravens. Someone has to emerge. Yeah, a

516
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 4: hero comes all. I'll just keep running through song titles.

517
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 2: As much as I love my Seahawks, the only thing

518
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 2: that helps them is that I don't think the Rams

519
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 2: and Cardinals are competing to win this Seasoniams.

520
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 4: May Sanders, whoever becomes.

521
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 3: They're in there. Yeah, they're in their own things.

522
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: So I think it's a two team race in the NFC,

523
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: and I think it's gonna be tough to overtake San Francisco.

524
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: But when you look at the NFC West, I think

525
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 2: it's a two team race. It's the other two divisions

526
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 2: that also then make heavy scratching your head, you know,

527
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 2: is the Detroit love affair too much? And in the

528
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: NFC South, I have seen every single team pick to

529
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: win that division by at least somebody else in the media.

530
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 2: So there's nothing that's going to be original from that division.

531
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: But it just means you're not gonna have as many

532
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: people on your side because it's all over the map.

533
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 4: In the NFC South, Yeah, no overweighting. Certainly in the South. Well,

534
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 4: let's go to the North. I'm gonna take the Packers

535
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 4: to still win the division and gives me a thumbs

536
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 4: up like I was doing it to Curry favor with him. Look,

537
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 4: the Lions are the Lions until proven otherwise. I may

538
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 4: like it on paper, but in the end, I still

539
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 4: got to get through seventeen weeks. The Bears, they've got

540
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 4: no choice but to be better. But what does that

541
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 4: mean from a wins loss perspective? I'm excited to see,

542
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 4: you know, be in the South Side Chicago and that

543
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 4: I am. What goes on with Dj Moore, a guy

544
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 4: we've talked about on these podcasts for so much, saying hey,

545
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 4: get him a quarterback? Well, we Justin Field used to

546
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 4: be able to throw the ball a lot. So people

547
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 4: that have decided to kick him to the curb saying

548
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: he can't. It's like, how about you get him someone

549
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 4: that can catch it? You know, just one guy, one

550
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 4: one and there he is. And Captain Kirk and company

551
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 4: in Minnesota. Man, we like Alexander Madison because we can

552
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: go to the Lin Manuel Miranda thing and do some

553
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 4: punny songs. And we love Justin Jefferson. Are they good enough?

554
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 4: Are they back somewhere in between the one score losses

555
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 4: under zimmer to all the one score wins last year?

556
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: Does that settle out in the middle. I'll take the

557
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 4: Packers the run game, a defense that'll be better, and

558
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 4: Jordan Love doesn't have to be spectacular.

559
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 3: Are you with that? Mister Green Bay Packer fan?

560
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 5: Ryan Berschinger, I actually am and this is how I

561
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 5: Harmon summed it up perfectly. If Jordan Love is just good,

562
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 5: like he doesn't need to be great like if he's

563
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 5: if he's pretty good, this team can easily win ten

564
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 5: eleven games, like like, I fully believe that, So I'm

565
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 5: I'm buying in well.

566
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 4: I would say this burst last year the best thing

567
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 4: that could happen to the Packers. And the national media

568
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 4: knows what they think they know. The even local media

569
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 4: knows what they think they know. Aaron Rodgers being on

570
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 4: is ayahuasca retrieves darkness rooms, whatever else the best thing

571
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: he wasn't around. Yeah, so Jordan Love got all the work. Yeah,

572
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: so those young receivers while it took time to get

573
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 4: used to Rogers and you saw what they were able

574
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: to do in the second half, Jordan Love got some

575
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 4: of that last year to help build towards this starting job.

576
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 5: I love it and I've taken a lot of shares

577
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 5: of Romeo Dobbs because I'm able to get him pretty late.

578
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 5: And if he's the second wide receiver in an offense

579
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 5: that is able to move the ball pretty effectively, there's

580
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 5: tremendous value. If you're taking Romeo Dobbs at like the

581
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 5: twelve thirteenth round. That's that's great. In terms of the West, yeah,

582
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 5: I would take the Niners to win the West. I

583
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 5: think the Saints are going to be better than people think.

584
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 5: I'm actually I'll ride their defense in that d Yeah,

585
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 5: and I do feel like Derek Carr as a quarterback

586
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 5: in that offense is going to work pretty well. They

587
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 5: don't have quite the skill players that they once did,

588
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 5: but I'm still buying that that team well enough because

589
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 5: I think that the rest of the division, like, there's

590
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 5: a lot of very intriguing pieces around the rest of

591
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 5: the division. I also can kind of see. I feel

592
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 5: like the Buccaneers are going to be terrible. I think

593
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 5: that they might be.

594
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 4: Is Mike I was traded before Week six, Probably there's

595
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: your extra bonus question.

596
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 5: Yes, let's let's do it. Let's let's ship him off,

597
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 5: Let's let's see what happens there. But yeah, so I

598
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 5: think that those are my and I would have I

599
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 5: would still have the Eagles winning the East, but I

600
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 5: would have the Cowboys winning the wild Card and one

601
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 5: of them.

602
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, Giants, Packers, Saints, and I love me some Gino

603
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 4: Smith in that receiving corps in the run game, I

604
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 4: can't go away from it. Rock Purty slash Sam Darnold

605
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 4: and you know George Kittle, Will he be healthy? Will

606
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 4: McCaffrey stand hid? I got too much history of injuries

607
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 4: and this is a guy that took McCaffrey first overall.

608
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 4: And as soon as I hit send, it was the like,

609
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 4: I hope everybody else has their iPhone updated so I

610
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 4: can under send a message. Unfortunately, in a draft room, guys,

611
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 4: I can't. So that's where I sit here in that

612
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 4: particular league. So that's the thing that worries most about

613
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: forty nine ers. I think you'll get better returns from

614
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 4: Deebo than you did a year ago. And Ayuk has

615
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: shown to be a star. But help for Kittle and McCaffrey.

616
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 4: And at some point the quarterback luck has to run out,

617
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 4: doesn't it.

618
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 3: Well, it depends.

619
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: It depends on how much you think their quarterbacks are valued,

620
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like, yeah, if you think

621
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: that party is the jackpot winner, yes, but if you

622
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: think Purty is average, I would say no.

623
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 3: Or if he just fits that.

624
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 4: Scheme, well, and that's just it, right? Does he have

625
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 4: to be just good enough.

626
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: Yes, and I think he does. I actually think there's

627
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 2: value in brock Purty in fantasy.

628
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 3: No would agree with that, you know, yeah.

629
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: Like I I actually where he's going in certain spots.

630
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, hmm, you know that's that's interesting. I just

631
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: I just think that they're the Seahawks may beat them

632
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: in a game that they play, they played them.

633
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 3: For a half.

634
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: It's just I think that the Seahawks just have more

635
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: overall question marks where they're not going to win a

636
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: game that they should have won, and that usually doesn't

637
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: happen with San Francisco.

638
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 3: That's why I give him the edge. I told you

639
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: picking the Giants.

640
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: In the NFC East, I'll make it a three way deal,

641
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: a hat trick with the Packers, I agree.

642
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: And in the NFC South, I'm going with the Falcons.

643
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: Nice you know, either they acquired Jeff Acuda, who didn't

644
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: work out in Detroit, Galles Campbell's there, but Dupriest in Atlanta,

645
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 2: like there's you try to do different things, and in

646
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: what is a crapshoot of a division, why not I.

647
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 3: Feel take the crappiest of the crap.

648
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 4: Shoots, run the ball, play defense, Ritters not. I mean,

649
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 4: he's got a couple of great weapons there. Yeah, right,

650
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 4: like it if pitts his healthy. Bjohn Robinson comes in

651
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 4: and we've all talked about him and and the argument

652
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 4: of where he is in that top five, that upper

653
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 4: rechalant of running backs, right, so why not.

654
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 2: Derek Carr's the best courts are back in that division

655
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: right now, right now, right now. But yeah, you know

656
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: it could change at the end of the year. But

657
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: that also then tells you what the ceiling is. It's

658
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: not that high.

659
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 4: So Brian Kelly got his ass kicked this week? Does

660
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 4: that mean Derek Carr gets to adopt the Louisiana accent?

661
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 4: You're Florida state. Florida State just kicked that right out

662
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 4: of Brian Kelly.

663
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 3: Man, that was a rough one for them, I'll tell

664
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: you that much him.

665
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: Dabo, Yeah, Harmon's been loving the dabble loss for hours.

666
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 4: Well, all right, when you say, hey, as soon as

667
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 4: the money starts flowing, I'm gonna quit. Yeah, you're still

668
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 4: cashing your checks. I mean come on now.

669
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: All right, super Bowl NFC picks. Who do you guys

670
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: got coming out of the NFC?

671
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 5: Well, I kind of alluded to it. I am taking

672
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 5: the Cowboys to come out of the NFC, which would

673
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 5: then put I guess apparently I have my picks as

674
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 5: two wild card teams going to the Super Bowl, So

675
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 5: why not let's truly get wild. I will take the

676
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 5: Cowboys to go to the end to the Super Bowl.

677
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 4: I am all for that. I like that. I like

678
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 4: the boldness of it, because, like the national media will,

679
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 4: it's hair on fire if the Cowboys are there and

680
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: we roll into January. Likewise, I'm going to take the Giants,

681
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 4: all right. We'll get a healthy dose of Eli Manning

682
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 4: smiling from ear to ear and being a smart alec.

683
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 4: But I'm a big Brian Dable believer, and I think

684
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 4: he's got enough for this team to get over the top.

685
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 2: I like the Giants making it to the NFC Championship game,

686
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: but I just can't go against the forty nine ers.

687
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: So for the third time, we're going to see eight

688
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: Niners Bengals super Bowl. In my mind, there you go,

689
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 2: super Bowl fifty eight, all right, So then who wins

690
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: it all? Will wrap it up that way? Burst in

691
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: your Super Bowl? Who's winning it?

692
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 3: Jerry?

693
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 5: You get one?

694
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 4: Here you go, there you go.

695
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 5: You celebrate the Dallas Cowboys to win the Super Bowl.

696
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 5: I'm saying that on a podcast. That's all right, cool,

697
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 5: that's there. It is there.

698
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 3: It is.

699
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 5: Put that out there.

700
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 4: And I'll take a deep breath and I'll say, all right,

701
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 4: the Giants win it.

702
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 2: Wow, So you got so you got the Cowboys over

703
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 2: the Chargers first, Yes, harmony of the Giants over the

704
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: jaguarsars yep. And I'll take the Bengals over the Niners. Yeah,

705
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 2: let's go that way. I don't want to pick the

706
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: forty nine ers to win. It's good Joe Burrow ring

707
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 2: number one. There it is our predictions for the twenty
