They can get them right. 130 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: They're playing at home. Everybody's hitting threes.

No matter what Oklahoma 135 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: City did, the Warriors have come back down hit a three, 136 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: no steph Like Okay, it's that night and it's like yeah, no, no, no, 137 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna win by seven or eight. 138 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 4: And that's how it's gonna go. Like that, that's how 139 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 4: easy it seems for the thunder. 140 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 5: Un Yeah, our fourth quarter outscored them by nine. The 141 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 5: closing ability is just absurd with this squad. But yeah, 142 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 5: it's one of those things where in all sports, it's like, 143 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 5: not that we've hit that level of I dare say 144 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 5: the boredom effect, right, or resentment like we've had go 145 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 5: back to those warrior squads. Look in the NFL, people 146 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 5: are like, all right, I'm tired of the Colts. I'm 147 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 5: tired of the Patriots. Now one did a lot of winning, 148 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 5: the other just won a lot. Add the Saints to 149 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 5: that mix. In the NFL side, it's like, all right, 150 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 5: it's the same teams racing deep into the playoffs that 151 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 5: we're seeing in primetime spots and the quarterbacks getting all 152 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 5: this run with the NBA go back. Remember when the 153 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 5: Spurs were dominant, Well they were boring.

Beyond that 407 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 6: we got nothing? 408 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, that song is done. We're done. 409 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 4: We're done with that song. We're done. 410 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 5: I mean it's the holiday holiday holidays. He is it 411 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 5: a Christmas songho or not? 412 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: It's not a Christmas song. Running up that Hill is 413 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,239 Speaker 1: not a Christmas song. It's first of all, it's got 414 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: to be a good song, which it's not. And it's 415 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: got to be a Christmas song, which it's not. So 416 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: it's not not a Christmas song. 417 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 4: None. 418 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 5: Done done, by the way, the two can be mutually 419 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 5: exclusive terrible Christmas song. 420 00:18:55,160 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: So coming up tomorrow College Football Championship Saturday, everything will 421 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: become clear after we see the action tomorrow. If Duke 422 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: somehow upsets Virginia, potentially likely it's James Madison headed to 423 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: the playoff because it's got to be the top four 424 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: rank conference champions and Duke with five losses, are they 425 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: really jumping ahead of James Madison after they won to 426 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: Night and all that being said, Look, I mean, Virginia's 427 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: really good, and look there's a reason why they won 428 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: the ACC They've been really good all season on they 429 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: have one conference loss. Virginia's gonna win this game. I 430 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: think the spread is a little bit low. I think 431 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: it's probably well, it's a championship game, but this is 432 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: a game Virginia should probably be double digit favorites. Virginia's 433 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: gonna win this game. We're not gonna have to worry 434 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: about it. But hey, when the All State Playoff predictor 435 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: says ninety nine point nine percent chance of James Madison 436 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: going if Duke wins, well, you got. 437 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 4: To listen to the All State Playoff for do well. 438 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 5: But you're saying there's the chance. I remember when they 439 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 5: got drummed by Illinois. Illinois was a number eleven team 440 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 5: in the country. They absolutely dominated SYRAC. Was that still 441 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 5: with your guy. No, that he would have been gone 442 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 5: by then. Yeah, I'm still trying to make that case 443 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 5: for Angelly for the Husband Trophy. 444 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: The later was, that was the first game after angel 445 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: and you know what this is one of That's one 446 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: of those games. You know, if I really had money, 447 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: that was just like, hey, try to turn this money 448 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: into way more money. I'd have gone to Vegas and 449 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: put it all on Duke. Like, after losing Angelly in 450 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: that game, we are going to get steamrolled by Duke 451 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: and defensively, they're just gonna do all kinds of bad 452 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: things to us. And I don't think Duke ran a 453 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: passing play in the fourth quarter. I really, I don't 454 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: think they ran a passing play in the fourth quarter. 455 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: And that seemed like a big one at the time. 456 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: Now it's like, oh, well, yeah, of course they beat 457 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: Syracuse without Angela yea, and Jelly could be Hey, Jelly 458 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: could really be the Heisman Trophy. He really could be 459 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: look at one of the some of the years these 460 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: guys are having. He still could be the Higsman Trophy. 461 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're the real MVP, no question about it. But yeah, 462 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 5: this spread as we talked with Todd Furman. The last 463 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 5: hour is certainly a curiosity in terms of how this 464 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 5: game is being wagered upon. 465 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: Now tomorrow the two biggest games we have. The biggest 466 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: game is the most fun game. Right, there's not a 467 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: ton at Steak here because both Ohio State and Indiana 468 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: are going to the playoff now, Yet the winner is 469 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: gonna be the number one team in the country and 470 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: get the buy and that's great. 471 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 4: But you know, there's Steaks and then there's Steaks. 472 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 2: Uh. 473 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: I could love for that Heisman though I could be yes, yeah, 474 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: it probably is a showdown for the highs between Saying 475 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: and and Fernanda Mendoza, But I don't know that either 476 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: quarterback is going to be that great tomorrow. But I'd 477 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: love to be able to pick Indiana right. What a 478 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: great story they've been all your kind of America's team, 479 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: where all of a sudden, here's a basketball school that 480 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: suddenly is really really even better than they were last year, 481 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: and we thought they were overrated last year. I'll show 482 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: you overrated. But Ohio State is just that much better everywhere. 483 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: And that game against Michigan last week, Michigan, I don't 484 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: know how Ohio State didn't score more points against Michigan because. 485 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 4: Michigan had no pass rush. 486 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean, the Michigan's defense is pretty Michigan's a pretty 487 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: good Michigan Team's not a great Michigan team, but it's 488 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: pretty good. It wasn't even last year's Michigan team. But 489 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: last year's Michigan team beat Ohio State, but at home, 490 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: they couldn't get to saying they couldn't stop their running game, 491 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: couldn't stop Bo Jackson, couldn't stop their passing game, couldn't 492 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: cover the wide receivers. I don't know how it was 493 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: that close for that long, right, Yes, a couple of 494 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: the big turnover early, but they stopped Michigan from getting 495 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: into the end zone and they controlled that game. They're 496 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: that much better than Indiana everywhere, and they've been waiting 497 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: for their stamp game to put on the season to 498 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: let everybody know. Yeah, I know we're number one and 499 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: people and people think we're number one, but there's that 500 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: question in people's minds that they really this good. How 501 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: good are their big wins? When you see what a 502 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: team like Texas lost three games.

Look, George is 607 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: getting in eleven and one, you know, ranked third. If 608 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: they lose their still in but Alabama a loss, that's 609 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: gonna knock them out. I'm not sold on either one 610 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: of these teams. You know, we talked about this earlier 611 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: in the show. Alabama's offense is not great. It's kind 612 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: of hit the skids. 613 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 4: Georgia is not that. It's not that. 614 00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: George is not good. George is not the overall dynamite package. 615 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: They were winning back to back and they've kind of 616 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: been a little inconsistent, little up and down. I'm just 617 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: not sold on them. Alabama needs the game more. But 618 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: Kirby Smart's got Alabama issues. 619 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 4: Man, Like it's gone. 620 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: It's gone from Hey, he's lost his first couple of 621 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: games to whoa. He's got problems with Alabama. And that's 622 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: part of the narrative for Kirby Smart, so I will 623 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: take Alabama finding away. The offense gets untracked and jumps 624 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: out to an early lead, and they hold on. They 625 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: cause problems and Klin de Boor gets that stamp for 626 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: Alabama and sends them to the playoff. 627 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 5: One in seven since becoming Georgia's head coach against Alabama, 628 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 5: of course, one of those national title games and winning 629 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 5: Jude titles, right, because the narrative would be with anybody. 630 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 6: Else, we watched it with James Franklin. 631 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 5: Congratulations to Campbell going there and taking that job, and 632 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 5: the fact that he retains his top on assistant who 633 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 5: signed a four year deal. Right, Terry Smith's gonna stay there. 634 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 5: But all of that, we'd be having a much different 635 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 5: conversation about Kirby Smart if he didn't end with those 636 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 5: two titles. You can't beat Alabama, you can't finish off 637 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 5: Alabama one in seven. Ty Simpson and company, the average 638 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 5: thirty three game, just curious about their closing ability. Right, 639 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 5: they'll get out to a good first half, can they 640 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 5: finish the job, because the passing game has certainly cranked 641 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 5: down the second halves of a lot of these SEC games. 642 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 6: But we were in lockstep. I'll stay with you there 643 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 6: in this one. That they win a narrow a narrow 644 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 6: one to solidify their space.

Loved it, loved it, loved it, 752 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: loved it. I mean not quite Grandma got run over 753 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: by a reindeer, but you know, somewhat close. 754 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 5: No, that still remains one of the the all times. 755 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,280 Speaker 5: Little Elmo and Patsy for you out there, they. 756 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 4: Were actually a real, real life married couple. 757 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: They were married, then they got divorced, but they did 758 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: the song together. I wonder if they split the royalties. 759 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: I assume they would. 760 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a that's a pretty good run. We're still 761 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 4: talking Elmo and Patrick. 762 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 6: But that's the thing, right, you get that longevity? 763 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh. 764 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: Now, the two biggest games of the week in the 765 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 1: NFL one in the AFC, one in the NFC. Let's 766 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: start with Sunday Night football first, the Texans and the Chiefs. 767 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: I've been your Chiefs whisperer the entire season. I told 768 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: you it was going to be struggle, but it was 769 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: gonna be a great year for Mahomes. And each week 770 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: I'll tell you I've been right on with all my 771 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs picks. Right, I told you exactly what's going on 772 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: every week for the Chiefs. It's all If not for 773 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: like these seventeen or eighteen plays, we would have won 774 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: all of this. Yes, Jason, you hate the Chiefs. You're 775 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: picking the Texans. This is where Isaac, when you think 776 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna zag. This is a Sunday night game in 777 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: Kansas City. It's gonna be a battle of what quarterback 778 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: can do enough to win this game. And when you 779 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: break it down like that, this is a Mahomes game, 780 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,280 Speaker 1: he will do enough to win. Right, stock up on Mahomes. 781 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: This is a game they have to have. The Texas 782 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,439 Speaker 1: defense will play well, but this is not a great 783 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: setting for their offense, which is still somewhat limited to succeed. 784 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: I look, there's games where the Chiefs are are out numbered, 785 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 1: out manned. And if this game was at one o'clock 786 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: on a Sunday in Houston, it would be different. If 787 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: this game is one o'clock in Kansas City, it might 788 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: be different. But at night, Casey's gotta have this. They're 789 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: six and six. The next loss could knock them out. 790 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 1: The Texans are playing really well. They've gotten back into 791 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: contention in the AFC South. This is a tough one. 792 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: It's a close game, but I'm gonna take the Chiefs 793 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: in this in a twenty three fourteen type way. They win, 794 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, next week we're saying, oh see, 795 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: he told you the Chiefs are still really good now 796 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 1: they are. They beat the Texans best defense in the AFC. 797 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to go through that talk next week. 798 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 4: But the Chiefs got the win. 799 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 5: Two top seven teams getting after it. As we go 800 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 5: through it, you're looking at the Chiefs at home, a 801 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 5: three point favorite, forty one. 802 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 6: And a half your total. It'll be cold, it'll be miserable. CJ. 803 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 5: Strouden Company looking for Nico Collins and that receiving corps 804 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 5: to make enough noise in the secondary and for the 805 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 5: defense to rise up field goal kicking contest. I think 806 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 5: Mahomes will be special, particularly with his legs distancing himself 807 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,879 Speaker 5: from the other running quarterbacks. See what I did there, Yeah, yeah, 808 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 5: But Houston's defense is enough, causing enough with that defensive 809 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 5: front and the fact that the Chiefs are down three 810 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 5: starters leads me to believe that they can make a 811 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 5: player two and get the pick, get the turnover, and 812 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 5: get themselves to pay dirt. 813 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 6: So give me the Texans in the upset. 814 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: Bears and the Packers first place in the NFC North, 815 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: maybe the number one seed in the NFC overall. Come on, now, 816 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 1: everything screams Packers in this game. But if I believe 817 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: in the Bears, I'm going with the Bears. Right, Chicago's 818 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,479 Speaker 1: the better team. Green Bay is too streaky and they're 819 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 1: too prone to the clunker. Even if Jordan Love doesn't 820 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 1: turn the ball over, which he's going to, because that's 821 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: what Chicago's defense does, their defense will be enough. Chicago 822 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: has pulled it out all year. Anytime they need something 823 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, they've done it. They haven't always 824 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: looked great, but they've always found a way to do it. 825 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 4: Green Bay has been really inconsistent. This will be. 826 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,760 Speaker 1: Another big run day for Chicago. Play action for Caleb Williams. Again, 827 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: Either I believe in Chicago or I don't. They know 828 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: this is the week they can gain the most believers. 829 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 4: It's a huge game for them. 830 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 1: They're looking at saying, hey, we really have daylight now 831 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,479 Speaker 1: between us and everybody else in the NFC North. Give 832 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: me the Bears, Mike Carmon, your Bears to win this game. 833 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 5: Bears plus seventeen turnover differential as opposed to the Packers 834 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,879 Speaker 5: at plus four, the Packers at six and a half. 835 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 5: I certainly take the Bears with the points.
