1
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where fraud Watch never ends.

2
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: It's a way of life.

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm Greg Rosenthal here in the Chris Westling podcast studio with.

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: My friend Cynthia Freeland.

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: Yes, we will get to one of the main characters

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: of fraud Watch all season long a little later with

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: my picks.

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: How are you?

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: I'm good?

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 4: How are you?

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: It is great to see you as always.

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: You know, the studio feels a little emptier this week

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: because you know, you don't have my son, but he

14
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: is part of the standings where if you're watching on

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: the YouTube show, we can look at our records last

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: week Cynthia and I, you know, struggle a little bit

17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: one and two. Walker's in first place now with an

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: undefeated record on the season.

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 4: Does he is he also like a crypto investor?

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: Ah god, this is what happens if you if you

21
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: have a child and they take your phone and they

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: just start messing around with your phone and they selfies.

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. We're gonna bounce back this week. Cynthia.

24
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 4: What a lovely photo of you, by the way.

25
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: Thank you twenty I's polling a.

26
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: Smug one of you on game deview where you're like

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 3: looking like like, but but this is this is actually

28
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: a very nice photo.

29
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 2: This is much better.

30
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, we went one and two last week, but

31
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: we're up on the seasons rail, I'm a couple games

32
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: ahead of you. You better be trying extra hard to

33
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: make correct picks this week.

34
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: All right.

35
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: I will start the picks off this week a little

36
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: different than what I normally do.

37
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: Let's hear it.

38
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: It's a big spread. Oh, when I get to a team,

39
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: I like, you don't know where I'm going. I'm going

40
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: Steelers minus six and a half.

41
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: You did, you know? I thought? So? Yeah?

42
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: Well really okay, only because I love I love me

43
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: some Jamis. Yeah, and it's tough to go against him. Obviously,

44
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: the Browns just won this game a couple of weeks ago.

45
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: But when two teams play in the span of a

46
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: few weeks, I definitely like one of those teams to

47
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: even it up division game. Alex Heigsmith is back. This

48
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: pass rush is like the Avengers. I don't think people

49
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: understand how good Nick Herbig is. Like, he is one

50
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: of the best pass rushers in the league right now,

51
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: and he's on the same team as TJ.

52
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: Watt.

53
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: And now you add in Alex Heismith and Hayward is

54
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: playing like an All Pro and that matchup on a

55
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: short week for Cleveland. I always pay attention to the

56
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: extra rest and then the back to back road games

57
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: for Cleveland. So you're coming from Denver, you go back

58
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, You're back on the road again. The Steelers

59
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: obviously need this game, and it's a big number. The number,

60
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: to me, Cynthia, it's almost begging everyone to take the Browns.

61
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: I have a feeling I could be wrong, but that

62
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: the public is gonna be on the Browns in this

63
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: game with that big a number at six and a half,

64
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not taking the bait here. I think the

65
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: Browns defense is meh. That the numbers don't lie. It's

66
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: an average defense. Everyone thinks it's a great defense. It's

67
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: an average defense. And you're gonna be dropping Jamis back

68
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: to pass probably forty to fifty times in this game. Again,

69
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: it's the best pass rush I believe in the NFL.

70
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: Because the Browns have no running game at all. I

71
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: could even see the Browns winning this like leading this

72
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: game in the second quarter and I'm sweating it out,

73
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: but the turnovers will pile up, and I like like

74
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: a nice thirty four to nine two type of win

75
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: for the Steelers minus six and a half.

76
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I'm gonna do something that feels a little mean,

77
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: but I don't care about me and I want to

78
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: be right.

79
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm going to take Chicago in the points.

80
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: Oh, I like that. That's one of my picks. I'm

81
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna join forces.

82
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 4: Okay, good.

83
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: I feel like it's a little mean because, like, so

84
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: many bad things have happened to the Niners this season,

85
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: so I kind of feel like I'm like piling it

86
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: on them.

87
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: But to slip it on its head, you're being nice

88
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: to the Bears fans. I mean, so many things that

89
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: happened to them for a decade straight fair.

90
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: Fair but I mean, and I've seen North but yeah, no,

91
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: I think I think that Number one, we've seen Caleb

92
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: Williams be a lot better against the Blitz since Week eleven,

93
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: which is when Thomas.

94
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: Brown took over.

95
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: We've seen the run game improve, We've seen a lot

96
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: of great things there. And on the other side of things,

97
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: things just like aren't getting better for the Niners. I mean,

98
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey now on IR same with Jordan Mason. Sure,

99
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: of course Kyle Shanahan can pull like a rabbit out

100
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: of his hat in terms of the run game, but like,

101
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: what about all the other parts?

102
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: Right, Isaac Garranda comes in there and maybe he'll be fine,

103
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: but running behind Trent Williams isn't practicing.

104
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: To be fair, Isaac Garendo could be like in buy

105
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: ma geed in for fantasy, you could probably consider playing him,

106
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: But other than that, I think it's fade fade away.

107
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are at a point in the season where

108
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: the numbers are still part of the forty nine ers

109
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: team that used to be and that team doesn't exist anymore.

110
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: And you didn't mention the reason I'm going for him.

111
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: And this is first time in a couple weeks that

112
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: we are joining forces because this was my number two

113
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: pick on the day the Bears.

114
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: It's the fired coach principle.

115
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we already had it happened once

116
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: this season, Yeah.

117
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 4: But like that was a last week, was like that

118
00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: was bad?

119
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: What when the coach said that he kind of doubled

120
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: down on everybody makes mistakes in life. Yes, so like

121
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: doubling down being like, hey, it was the right decision

122
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: like that's a wild thing to say, right, Like, it

123
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: was clear I thought CBS made a mistake in the

124
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 3: broadcast because I'm like, there's no way or like, you know,

125
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: the graphics thing didn't hit and you know there's a

126
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: lot of technology involved. No, no, no, no, CBS was on

127
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: top of it. I retract my statement about the broadcasters.

128
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 3: It was the coach. But to double down on that

129
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: and the press are after that just shows you. I mean,

130
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: if that's what he's willing to say publicly, what was

131
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 3: it like in the actual Well.

132
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: We have reporting that Jalen Johnson there at the cornerback

133
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: for the Bears after Eberflus in the locker room, was

134
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: trying to say, hey, we appreciate how hard you guys

135
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: are going, like he started yelling at Eberflues. So we've

136
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: already seen a tangible difference since Thomas Brown took over,

137
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: and so that's one fired Coude. They have played their

138
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: best three games of the season on offense in a row.

139
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: They outgained the Green Bay Packers, that's a nine win team.

140
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: They got to over time against the Vikings, that's a

141
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: ten win team. They were in that game again to

142
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: the Lions.

143
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: I will take thirty seconds left that to take the win.

144
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: But oh my goodness, not great, right, So I'm all

145
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: about the fired coach principle.

146
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: It's worked already twice this season. We saw it work

147
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: for the Saints last time around with Rizzy And do

148
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: you think you want to check some injury situations for

149
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: the Bears. But it does sound like all their players

150
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: that are key DJ Moore have a chance to play.

151
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: J Moore and DeAndre Swift are If they are both out,

152
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: then maybe that.

153
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: Right, keep an eye on that, But just the vibes

154
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: are that probably Why are they getting point?

155
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: Are the Niners getting seventy points? That's the thing that's crazy.

156
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: At this point in the season, you just can forgive

157
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: this forty nine Ers team is four point.

158
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.

159
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if the forty nine Ers find

160
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: a way to win this game at the end somehow,

161
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: because that's just who the Bears are at this point.

162
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: But it'll be by one point, it'll be by two points.

163
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: You'll cover that number and will come out on top.

164
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 4: I like it. I like it.

165
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: I feel really good about that. And yeah, Fred Warner

166
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: is playing through a broken foot. We don't know why

167
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: is he playing with a broken foot. It is getting

168
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: to that point in the season too, that the forty

169
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: nine ers I think are gonna start like shutting some

170
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: of these guys down. Yes that are healthy, they're not

171
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: you shut them down. You're not quite there yet. But man,

172
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: that Kashanan just looks angry and he looks miserable. So

173
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: that's my second pick. We're already back to you for

174
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: your second pick. Since that's my second pick, Minnesota. I

175
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: want Minnesota. Oh five points, Okay, I.

176
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 4: Don't really like five.

177
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: There's a lot of weird like four five point spreads

178
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: this week, which blah. But I think Minnesota it's a

179
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: good one against Atlanta. They're hosting Atlanta, it's at home Atlanta.

180
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

181
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: Sure, they had a third of their season long sack

182
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: total last week with five. I don't think that that's

183
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: a real true indication of what's going on. But even so,

184
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: we saw Sam Darnold have like a one thirty point

185
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: three passer rating against pressure last week against the Cardinals.

186
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: Am I saying Minnesota's perfect? No, Am I saying Atlanta's bad?

187
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: Kinda.

188
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: I'm saying that their turnover prone. This has been a

189
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: weird skid for them. I mean, Kirk Cousins hasn't thrown

190
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: a touchdown pass in like three weeks.

191
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: Ten turnovers.

192
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: I that's not a good that's a bad ratio.

193
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: I without even realizing this is the Kirk Cousins return

194
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: to Minnesota game, without thinking about that, I just started wondering,

195
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: is this potentially the last start for Kirk Cousins this year?

196
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: If he threw like three interceptions in this game against

197
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: a great Brian Flores defense that mixes you up, you

198
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: would think they would think about going to Pennix, and

199
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: it would I am not rooting for that.

200
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: I want your pick to be right.

201
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: I want them to cover, But I think it would

202
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: be heartbreaking for Kirk Cousins' career as a starting quarterback

203
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: to end in Minnesota getting bed. So what I am

204
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: hoping for in this situation is that the Falcons defense

205
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: reverts back to who they've been all year, and that

206
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: it's thirty seven to twenty six, and you cover your

207
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: spread and Kirk is fine enough and h and it's

208
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: not that depressing of a loss at least for Kirk.

209
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know he can cry all the

210
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: way to the bank. The man has like the most

211
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: guaranteed money ever. So I'm not like crying for.

212
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: Okay, he's that a great career. We'll say that all

213
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: the time though about like, hey, he's got a lot

214
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: of money. I don't feel bad for them as there's

215
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: still people they bleed, they have emotions.

216
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: Wow are you going there? Listen, everyone needs a moment

217
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: of empathy.

218
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: Egg.

219
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: But I will say another quarterback would not have been

220
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: given this leash of three games with this many turnovers

221
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: before something would have been I mean even Aaron Rodgers.

222
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: They were like, are gonna go with him for the

223
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: rest of the No one's even asked.

224
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: That question about Kirkhusbins.

225
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: They're asking there not really, Rahem's pushing pushing back, He's

226
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: staying strong. We'll see if he stays strong. After Cynthia

227
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: delivers another winner and they cover this thing, I'm finishing

228
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: up with another spread in that point range, and I'm

229
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: going with another favorite.

230
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: I love this one, Miami minus f and a half.

231
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 3: For a second, I thought you were gonna say the Saints.

232
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 3: I'm like, what, No, I don't want to go Yeah, no,

233
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: stay away from that one for me.

234
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: I don't like that one at all. In fact, I

235
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: kind of like the Giants, but I agree, why bother

236
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm not bothering. I'm not bothered with either one. I

237
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: just hate love me some Dolphins minus five and a half.

238
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: We've been telling you about fraud watch all season long.

239
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: When it comes to the Jets, they are three and

240
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: nine on the season, Cynthia, I saw a stat that

241
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: they have been favored in nine of those games and

242
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: they've only won three of them. They are the first

243
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: team ever to accomplish that feat.

244
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 4: To be congratulation.

245
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: That was actually courtesy of my friend Danny Hifitz at

246
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: The Ringer Fantasy Football, so I want to give him

247
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: credit for that stat. That's a crazy stat. Finally, the

248
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: numbers have adjusted. Five and a half seems like a

249
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: normal number to me. They're going up on the road

250
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: against a road team, but I do think there's a

251
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: lot of reasons to believe this is a blowout. The

252
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: last Jets offensive game over three hundred yards was October

253
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven, they are a bad was against the Patriots,

254
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: by the way, and they lost that game in the

255
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: division on the road. Like they're gonna lose this one.

256
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: Last week, the only reason they were in the game

257
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: against Seattle was special teams. They got about fourteen points

258
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: worth of value from their special teams.

259
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: That's the only reason they were even in it.

260
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have extra rest love that they're coming off

261
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game, they're at home, and then the

262
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: injury situation is very problematic for the Jets.

263
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: No Sauce Gardner at practice.

264
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: Early in the week, no Briessee Hall at practice early

265
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: in the week, and no Elijah Vera Tucker early in

266
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: the week, and Morgan Moses and another tackle on their

267
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: team is very questionable. The Dolphins have been hearing all

268
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: this talk about oh, you're soft your so I think

269
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: this is a good team. I think they're going to

270
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: respond to a bad loss. And they've had two very

271
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: similar matchups in my mind at home in very recent memory.

272
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: Their last two home games were against the Raiders and

273
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, two of the other worst teams in

274
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: the league along with the Jets. What do they do

275
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: in those games? They won comfortably sixty eight points. They

276
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: put on the board on offense in those two games

277
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: only gave up thirty four. I think their defense is

278
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: good enough that the Jets just aren't gonna go crazy

279
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: on anyone. The Dolphins defense is okay, but the Dolphins

280
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: offense is gonna go up and down the field. I'm

281
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: putting their over under of their points for me, it's

282
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: about thirty five. They're gonna put about thirty five on

283
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: the board. Do you think Aaron Rodgers can keep up?

284
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: No way, I like a little thirty four. You're thirty

285
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: five to like fourteen. This thing's a blowout. Fraud Watches

286
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: is on. It's been on all year for the Jets.

287
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: Look, I mean Aaron Rodgers turned forty one, so I

288
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: mean if he was a pumpkin at forty, he's a

289
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 3: rotten pumpkin at forty one, right, I mean obviously in

290
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 3: a whole week. It's anyways. No, I'm with you on that.

291
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 3: I think that ever really comfortable win for them. Are

292
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: you ready for my last one?

293
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: This? Yes?

294
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: This is the uh break Greg Hearts Special.

295
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: Oh it's the Cardinals.

296
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm no one taking the Seahawks.

297
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: Oh you're taking the Seahawks. Yeah, well that's taking them.

298
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 4: With the parts too.

299
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: I like that.

300
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 4: You think the Cardinals are gonna win though you told.

301
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: Me that I did, But I'm rooting for that to

302
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: be wrong. Sometimes the head and the heart are pretty off.

303
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: And when you look at the spread, the Cardinals are

304
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: favored in this game right by three right now?

305
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 3: Oh it went up to three. I thought it was

306
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 3: two and a half. Fine by meal, get even better

307
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 3: with that depends on what. Yeah, where it's really you're

308
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: looking at.

309
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking at DraftKings and it's great minus three. That's

310
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: what we've been going off. I'll see long on this show.

311
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: So that's where they're at, and I love it. It

312
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: just happened a couple weeks ago. They beat him sixteen

313
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: to six. It's going to be a defensive game.

314
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: I think, what do you think I have twenty Oh sorry,

315
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: excuse me, I have twenty three to twenty one. Okay,

316
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 3: so forty five total points, which is slightly over. I

317
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: think it's forty four and a half where the line

318
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 3: is right now in this game. I'm very interested to

319
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: see if they can figure out how to stop Jackson

320
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: Smith and Jigba that he runs exactly where they have

321
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 3: huge vulnerabilities. I don't think it's two weeks that they've

322
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: shored those up. And now you even have Kyler Murray

323
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: throwing turnovers. Why are you turning the ball over in

324
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: two games, he had the same number of turnovers as

325
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 3: the ten before Thereby, I mean just not just not

326
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: an easy that's a really hard way to win. I

327
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: know their defense looked a little bit better last week.

328
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: I understand. I'm not saying they're not capable of doing it.

329
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 3: This is I'm picking an underdog here for a reason,

330
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: But you know it's it's I just think there are

331
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: too many ways for Seattle, especially post By. They've really

332
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 3: on defense, they're getting healthier, they're getting you chant woe

333
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: su back like, it's pretty good.

334
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 4: It's pretty good stuff for you.

335
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: I love it. Look you have them winning straight up.

336
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: So if people like a little value, you could also

337
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: look at them.

338
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's even more valuable there.

339
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like, I'll just take the points because

340
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: we why not right in our little standings. I don't

341
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: get extra points for picking them straight up?

342
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: Now, you think so, why would I?

343
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't I give myself a little insurance?

344
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: You should you're gonna come back, Cynthia, you're over five hundred.

345
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: Not worried, we're doing well, Not worried. We got I

346
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a speed bump Hey, we

347
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: might have been doing this in the playoffs.

348
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: You know this is this has been a hit the youth, obviously.

349
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: You tube numbers are cranking up, the podcast numbers are

350
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: cranking up. A couple other games. I kind of like,

351
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: just I'll put some extra picks out there. I got

352
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: to last week. I do like, I kind of do

353
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: like the Giants plus four and a half. I'm with you,

354
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: I kind of like the Cowboys. Actually, when I saw

355
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: the injury report and Orlando Brown is not going to

356
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: play for the now, well that would change my mind.

357
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: But five and a half points, that would also probably

358
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 4: change the line to be fair.

359
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: That maybe maybe I take that back the Cowboys.

360
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't give me a good feeling, but my gut

361
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: says that's too many points to give the Bengals. But

362
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: what I do feel good about as an extra one

363
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: is just the Chargers plus four. I just think that's

364
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: a field goal game one way or another. Their their

365
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: defense is actually better your Chiefs defense right now.

366
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: So I like, how do you feel about how do

367
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: you feel about that twelve point spread in day Away Eagles?

368
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, day Away?

369
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: I think that I think Bryce Young it sounds crazy,

370
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: but he's playing too well, and the Eagles have been

371
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: playing these big time games. Maybe just a little bit

372
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: of a letdown spot. Maybe Bryce just hits a touchdown

373
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: at the end to cut it from seventeen to ten.

374
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. It's not really close, but

375
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: that's a stay away.

376
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 4: From also the Eagles. How like crazy is this? Those

377
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 4: like four of their next last five games are home.

378
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: I love this Eagles team. May you just sleep in

379
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: their own bed? Yeah, comfortable in Philadelphia.

380
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: It's crazy how how good this Eagles team is right now?

381
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: Feel good about my super bullpick? It's I think it's

382
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: a little scary. We don't feel good about that. Why

383
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: because I know in your heart you want something. I'm

384
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: mary think what I want. I'm just saying I'm happy

385
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: that I like. I'm I'm good with being right too.

386
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: So Cynthia's picks to recap. She finished up with a

387
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: golden Seattle Seahawks plus three on the road in Arizona.

388
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: She's got the Minnesota Vikings favored by five and a

389
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: half at home against the Falcons, and then we are

390
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: joining forces on the Bears plus four in Santa Clara.

391
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: My other two picks on top of the Bears plus

392
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: four are Steelers minus six and a half. I feel

393
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm zagging a little bit where people will

394
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: be zigging. I like this pic and I also like

395
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins covering the five and a half at home

396
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: against the Jets. That's it, Cynthia, we did it. You're
