1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Best of the Week for What's Right

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: week on the show. Enjoy. Nico Harrison has not yet

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: been fired in a truly mortifying end to a truly

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: indefensible nine month reign of terror. Nico Harrison has a

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: meeting with MAVs ownership in twenty five minutes where he

7
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: will be fired. I gotta tell you, I'm not sure

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: I'd show up to that meeting. If Shams has it

9
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: and the whole world knows that, you know what guys

10
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: with this can be assumed. So the impacts and implications

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: of this are far reaching. Most notable is the following

12
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: and this This might sound shocking, this might sound drastic,

13
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: but I believe this to be true. Teams around the

14
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: league should immediately call Dallas and ask about Anthony Davis's availability.

15
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Certainly teams around the league that would be interested, and

16
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: this probably is going to have to be something far

17
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: later once you see him if he returns pre trade deadline,

18
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: should ask about Kyrie Irving. And that is because the

19
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks are now in total build around Cooper Flag

20
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: try to rebuild our draft capital to keep in mind,

21
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: they do not either have they either don't have well,

22
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: they either don't have a pick or don't have their

23
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: own pick. In the next four drafts, they had gone

24
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: all in around historically great superstar Lukadancic, and then, because

25
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: of ego and hubris, Lukadancich was traded in the middle

26
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: of the night in the type of move that if

27
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: there were ever cause for a fan base to file

28
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: a class action lawsuit against management, this would be it.

29
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: You had one of the greatest players ever at the

30
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: very beginning of the prime of his career. And I

31
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: said it at the time and I will say it again,

32
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: and because of nothing more than power and ego, you

33
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: lit the franchise on fire, power and ego. Everyone was

34
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: searching for why Nico would have done this, and the

35
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: only logical and it's not logical, but the only reasonable

36
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: explanation was he didn't like the fact that someone within

37
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: the organization had more power than him, and that someone

38
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: was Luca, So we got him out of there. And

39
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: it will go down in the annals of sports history

40
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: as one of the single greatest gaffes in a front

41
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: office has ever made. That is not an overreaction that

42
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: is not an overstatement. That is simply what it was

43
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: the moment it happened, and now is being exacerbated night in,

44
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: night out as Luca instead of coming off an injury

45
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: as he was last year, reminds everyone. Yes, I am

46
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: the guy who dragged a Dallas Mavericks team to the

47
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: conference finals when I was twenty two, and to the

48
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: NBA Finals when I was twenty four, And now I'm

49
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: twenty six, and I have more first team All NBAS

50
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: under my belt than Steph Curry does, and you got

51
00:04:53,960 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: rid of me, and I don't. I also don't think

52
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: this is an overstatement. Nico Harrison will never work in

53
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: an NBA front office again. He's gonna have to work

54
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: for Nike or an agency or something. But this is

55
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: you cannot recover from something like this, and the arrogance

56
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: that less than you know. We are a dozen games

57
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: into this season and Nico, after they spun a one

58
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: point eight percent lottery ball chance into Cooper Flag, the

59
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: fact that he said, do you see the vision now

60
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: was one of the most tone deaf, ludicrous statements. And

61
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm not a MAVs fan. Hell, I'm an adopted I

62
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: guess Laker fan. Because that's who Bron plays for. So

63
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: the Lakers getting Luca, who's my second favorite player, was

64
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: and he and Bron playing together was a true dream.

65
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: And I'm still mad about this trade on behalf of

66
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: Mad fans. I can't imagine what this is. This was

67
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: a sports felony inflicted upon a fan base. And yes,

68
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: now the villain has been captured and is facing justice,

69
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: but it doesn't change the havoc he reeked and the

70
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: long term impact on your fandom. So I I want

71
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: to just revisit before we get to last night's game,

72
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: before we get to football, what I set off the

73
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: top and credit to Tim Bond, TIMPs. He's been talking

74
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: about this for a while, but now it is to

75
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: me a more because it was never gonna happen with

76
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: Nico in charge. But the Dallas Mavericks have to consider

77
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: a fire sale. So let me let me. I want

78
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: to give everyone the actual draft picks situation for Dallas.

79
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty six, they have their pick, so my apologies,

80
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: I said that wrong. Twenty twenty six, they have their pick.

81
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: This year, they have their pick, and maybe that's good

82
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: because right now they're terrible. In twenty twenty seven, their

83
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: pick basically totally unprotected, protected only for spots one or two,

84
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: so unprotected goes to Charlotte. In twenty twenty eight, Jesus,

85
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: the rich get richer, the Thunder can swap with them.

86
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty nine, their pick goes somewhere in a

87
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: swap and they do have the Lakers pick, And in

88
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: twenty thirty, my god, the Spurs can swap with them.

89
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: So first of all, in twenty twenty eight and twenty thirty,

90
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: the Mavericks first round pick is gonna go to the

91
00:08:52,679 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: Thunder and then the Spurs. Holy shit. In twenty twenty nine,

92
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: their pick goes somewhere. I can't figure it out. It

93
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: says two most favorable of Dallas Houston, Phoenix to Houston

94
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: and then other to Brooklyn via Dallas, and Phoenix to

95
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: Brooklyn via Dallas, or Phoenix to Houston via Houston. Swap

96
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: for Dallas or Phoenix. I don't get it, but whatever,

97
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: the MAVs will not after this coming year's draft. They

98
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: do not have control of their their first until twenty

99
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: thirty one, until Cooper flag is in the midst of

100
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: his second contract, so they need to recoup picks. They

101
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: need to figure out, like Klay Thompson's contract is fully underwater.

102
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: Kyrie's an interesting one, and I it's just and by

103
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: the way, the three and eight, and I think, let

104
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: me check. I think they have literally the worst offense

105
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: in the NBA. I know, so let's just check in

106
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: real quick. Defense wins championships, because that's all we heard

107
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: from this this guy. All we heard from him. Their

108
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: offense is, oh, is it no longer dead last? The

109
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: hold on, let me, I had it. I thought they

110
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: were dead last. Maybe I'm wrong because that says they're

111
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: fourteenth right now, So oh that's last year. I'm looking

112
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: at last year. It's like, hold on a second, this

113
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: can't be correct. It can't be the Mavericks having the

114
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: fifteenth offense. No chance, all right, here we go. Oh no,

115
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: if fair is fair, they don't have the worst offense

116
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: in the basketball. They have the second worst offensive basketball

117
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: to the Pacers, whose best player Torrey's achilles in Game

118
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: seven of the finals and second best or third best

119
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: player left the team. Now, I mean, this is just perfect,

120
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: just chef's kiss. Perfect defense wins championships. The Dallas Mavericks

121
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: are three and eight. They fired Nico Harrison. They currently

122
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: have the third best defense in basketball. Maybe that was

123
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: a miscalculation because you have the second worst offense in basketball.

124
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: Good luck, MAVs fans. I feel sick for you. Today's

Speaker 1: huge games Lions Eaglesday Night Football, and once again the

165
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: Eagles cannot stay out of their own way despite winning games.

166
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: And I was listening to my one of my favorite podcasts,

167
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: NFL Daily, I talk about a lot with Greg Rosenthal

168
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: and company, and in previewing this game, his Cospatrick Claiban,

169
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, basically tongue in cheek, melted down about the

170
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: media bothering Sirianni and hurts about AJ Brown and about

171
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: how this team won a Super Bowl last year and

172
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: about how this is much ado about nothing because the

173
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: latest AJ Brown drama is him going on a Twitch

174
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: stream and saying thing is things are not going well

175
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: and drop me on your fantasy team, and how he

176
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: and I'm sure others think it's a non story. Here's

177
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: why I vehemently disagree with that. AJ Brown being happy

178
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: or not might not matter. But the Philadelphia Eagles with

179
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: the most expensive offense in NFL history, with guys who

180
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: are all Pro caliber all over the offensive line, multiple receivers,

181
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: Saquon Jalen Hurts. That team being this pedestrian on offense

182
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: is a story. It flatly is, and it's inexplicable. Their

183
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: inability out of a buye in a game they scored

184
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: zero points in the first half to get AJ Brown

185
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: involved is in a splicable. Them leading the league by

186
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: a huge margin on three and out rate is indefensible.

187
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: And so I give the Eagles credit because they do

188
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: find a way to win, and they're champions, and the defense,

189
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: particularly with the addition of Jalen Phillips, is rounding into form.

190
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: All of that is great. But AJ Brown is not wrong.

191
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: He might be wrong in his delivery in the way

192
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: it feels diva ish or selfish, all that's fine. But

193
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: his concern that this offense is not functioning properly is

194
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: totally correct, totally correct, and I don't have an answer

195
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: for it. Seems like Petullo and Sirianni are wildly conservative

196
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: with the play calls up until they are just lunatics

197
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: on the fourth and down at the end of the game.

198
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: They have the highest rate of running the ball on

199
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: third and long of any team in twenty five years,

200
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: which are just give up plays. Now, some of that,

201
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: a tiny bit of that might be push push related,

202
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: but really their give up plays. And so it feels

203
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: silly to concern troll the Eagles who have won like

204
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: twenty two of their last twenty four and of the

205
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: defending champs. But it also feels ridiculous to watch that

206
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: team have zero points at halftime, to see AJ Brown

207
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: with multiple games this year with three or fewer targets

208
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: after he had one game like that the previous three

209
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 1: years and act like nothing is wrong. Also, it is

210
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: to me, at this point a four gone conclusion that

211
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: AJ Brown is going to be gone this offseason, and

212
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: I would be I personally would be quite surprised, Like

213
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: my money would be on AJ Brown is going to

214
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: be a new England Patriot a year from now. But

215
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: none of that matters for this season. I almost shouldn't

216
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: have even brought it up because the trade deadline has passed.

217
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: And that's the other part of this that is baffling

218
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: to me. You have a buye, you decide not to

219
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: trade AJ Brown the market for receiver like Again, this

220
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: is me just speculating, but if Buffalo was gonna give

221
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: up A one and a three for Jail and Waddle,

222
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine they would have given up something similar

223
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: for aj Brown. Philly didn't want to trade him, so

224
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: then use him. And if you're not gonna use him,

225
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: it's gotta be because the offense is humming without him,

226
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: but it's not Saquon the game before the buye. Notwithstanding,

227
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: Saquan is having a brutal year, he is averaging three

228
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: point nine yards per carry. Saquon's yards and yards per

229
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: carry by game this season sixty three point three, eighty

230
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: eight four point zero, forty six two point six on

231
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: three two point three thirty five point zero, only got

232
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: six carries and a loss to Denver fifty eight four

233
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: point eight forty four two point four, the game against

234
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: the Giants one fifty ten point seven and then sixty

235
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: for two point seven. So aside from the Giants game,

236
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: Sekuan this year has run the ball won one hundred

237
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: and thirty five times for four hundred and twenty nine yards.

238
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: So what is that one thirty five for four to

239
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: twenty nine one thirty five times three is four oh

240
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: five so that is three point two yards per carry.

241
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm now gonna check. I'm now gonna do that math

242
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: real quick and see if I got it. I think

243
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: it's three point two yards per carry. So we said

244
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: it was four twenty nine divided by one thirty five. Yeah,

245
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: three point one point eight yards per carry. Aside from

246
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: the Giants game, So feed the bald aj Brown. It's

247
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: just baffling, and I don't think it's We can say

248
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: him being upset is nothing, but the offense not working

249
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: is not nothing. By the way, if you're thinking about

250
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: upgrading to the all new iPhone seventeen Pro, designed to

251

00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,959

263
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: The Colton Saints are on a buy and that leaves

264
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 1: us these five picks. I liked Miami minus two and

265
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: a half against Washington when I briefly thought the game

266
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: was in Washington. I love it when it's on a

267
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: neutral site in Madrid. I think Washington is just flatly

268
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: two injured quarterback out, a half dozen defensive players out.

269
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 1: That Washington is so banged up Miami all of a sudden,

270
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: sneaky good vibes. I know Tua has not done well

271
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: in his international starts, but one of those was against

272
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I'll throw that one out. Uh. I think

273
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: Washington is just right now, one of the softer spots

274
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: in the league until Jaden gets back, and I'm laying

275
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: less than a field goal. So I'll take Miami minus

276
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: two and a half from Madrid. Chicago getting three at Minnesota.

277
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: I didn't know this, but this is crazy. The Vikings

278
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: are zero to six against the spread after facing the

279
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: Lions under Kevin O'Connell. That one, I mean, that's that's

280
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: It's not nothing. It the that that applied the last

281
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: week's game against the Ravens, so maybe I wish I

282
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: knew it then. I I thought Minnesota had a lot

283
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: of opportunities against Baltimore. I didn't think Baltimore played that

284
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: one well and they just couldn't make the most of them.

285
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: I think Chicago likely wins this game outright, and I'm

286
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: getting three points. Also, I like getting that all of

287
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: a sudden, very explosive Chicago offense in a dome. So

288
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: Chicago getting a full three at Minnesota. When I think

289
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: Chicago can win outright, I'll roll with them. Tampa getting

290
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: five and a half at Buffalo, I just don't know

291
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: that right now. Buffalo deserves to be laying more than

292
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: three and a half against any really good team, and

293
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: I think Tampa's a really good team. They're also, this

294
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: will be the first game maybe all year, where Tampa

295
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: is the healthier team. They might have Bucky Irving back,

296
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: they might have Chris Godwin back. At Buffalo meanwhile, is

297
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: super banged up. I don't need Tampa a win out right,

298
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: even though I think they could. I just need them

299
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: to keep it, you know, manageable, and they're healthier, and

300
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo I think has some soul searching to do. Tampa

301
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: plus five and a half probably my I'm not gonna

302
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: call it my favorite, but I like this a lot,

303
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: even though all the trends are against me because Shanahan

304
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: has not covered against the Cardinals and Arizona is pretty

305
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: good as a covering team coming off a loss. But

306
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco minus two and a half at Arizona, I

307
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 1: think Arizona is a bit of a mess. We just

308
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: saw them get absolutely demolished this past weekend. San Francisco

309
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: reckon should have Purdy back. Now. I don't think there's

310
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: a big difference between Purdy and mac Jones this point,

311
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: but they should have Purty back, and they are. They

312
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: understand that it's gonna be between them and Chicago for

313
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: that final playoff spot. This is a game you've got

314
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: to take care of business. I love that I don't

315
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: have to lay three and a half. Just feels like

316
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco can control this game and win by three

317
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: points and I'm only laying the two and a half.

318
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: So I'll take San Francisco minus the two and a half,

319
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: and last but not least, the Chiefs laying three and

320
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: a half at Denver. I be if you got this right,

321
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: when it opened at three. Good for you. I may

322
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: have gotten it right when it opened at three, but

323
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 1: I will still lay the three and a half. I

324
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: just do not think bo Nicks can get this Broncos

325
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: deep offense to more than seventeen points. So then the

326
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: question is do I think the Chiefs can score twenty

327
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: one even against that Denver defense? I think they can.

328
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: My real analysis of this game and everything about it

329
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: you can hear on yesterday's pod, you know, around the

330
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: ten minute mark. We get into it if you want

331
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: to hear more there. So our five picks this week

332
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: are Miami minus two and a half in Madrid against Washington,

333
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: Chicago plus three at Minnesota, Tampa plus five and a

334
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: half at Buffalo, San Francisco minus two and a half

335
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: at Arizona, and Kansas City minus three and a half

336
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 1: at Denver
