WEBVTT - Best Of - Nico Harrison FIRED, AJ Brown has a point, NFL Week 11 Game Picks | Nick Wright

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Best of the Week for What's Right

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>week on the show. Enjoy. Nico Harrison has not yet

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:19.279
<v Speaker 1>been fired in a truly mortifying end to a truly

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>indefensible nine month reign of terror. Nico Harrison has a

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>meeting with MAVs ownership in twenty five minutes where he

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>will be fired. I gotta tell you, I'm not sure

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd show up to that meeting. If Shams has it

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and the whole world knows that, you know what guys

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>with this can be assumed. So the impacts and implications

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>of this are far reaching. Most notable is the following

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and this This might sound shocking, this might sound drastic,

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>but I believe this to be true. Teams around the

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>league should immediately call Dallas and ask about Anthony Davis's availability.

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Certainly teams around the league that would be interested, and

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>this probably is going to have to be something far

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 1>later once you see him if he returns pre trade deadline,

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>should ask about Kyrie Irving. And that is because the

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Mavericks are now in total build around Cooper Flag

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>try to rebuild our draft capital to keep in mind,

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>they do not either have they either don't have well,

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>they either don't have a pick or don't have their

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>own pick. In the next four drafts, they had gone

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 1>all in around historically great superstar Lukadancic, and then, because

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>of ego and hubris, Lukadancich was traded in the middle

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>of the night in the type of move that if

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>there were ever cause for a fan base to file

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>a class action lawsuit against management, this would be it.

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>You had one of the greatest players ever at the

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>very beginning of the prime of his career. And I

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 1>said it at the time and I will say it again,

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and because of nothing more than power and ego, you

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>lit the franchise on fire, power and ego. Everyone was

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>searching for why Nico would have done this, and the

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>only logical and it's not logical, but the only reasonable

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>explanation was he didn't like the fact that someone within

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the organization had more power than him, and that someone

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>was Luca, So we got him out of there. And

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>it will go down in the annals of sports history

0:03:55.080 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>as one of the single greatest gaffes in a front

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>office has ever made. That is not an overreaction that

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>is not an overstatement. That is simply what it was

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the moment it happened, and now is being exacerbated night in,

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>night out as Luca instead of coming off an injury

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>as he was last year, reminds everyone. Yes, I am

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>the guy who dragged a Dallas Mavericks team to the

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 1>conference finals when I was twenty two, and to the

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>NBA Finals when I was twenty four, And now I'm

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty six, and I have more first team All NBAS

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>under my belt than Steph Curry does, and you got

0:04:53.960 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>rid of me, and I don't. I also don't think

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>this is an overstatement. Nico Harrison will never work in

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>an NBA front office again. He's gonna have to work

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>for Nike or an agency or something. But this is

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 1>you cannot recover from something like this, and the arrogance

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>that less than you know. We are a dozen games

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>into this season and Nico, after they spun a one

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>point eight percent lottery ball chance into Cooper Flag, the

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>fact that he said, do you see the vision now

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>was one of the most tone deaf, ludicrous statements. And

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a MAVs fan. Hell, I'm an adopted I

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:03.359
<v Speaker 1>guess Laker fan. Because that's who Bron plays for. So

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers getting Luca, who's my second favorite player, was

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and he and Bron playing together was a true dream.

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 1>And I'm still mad about this trade on behalf of

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Mad fans. I can't imagine what this is. This was

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 1>a sports felony inflicted upon a fan base. And yes,

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>now the villain has been captured and is facing justice,

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't change the havoc he reeked and the

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 1>long term impact on your fandom. So I I want

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to just revisit before we get to last night's game,

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>before we get to football, what I set off the

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>top and credit to Tim Bond, TIMPs. He's been talking

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>about this for a while, but now it is to

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>me a more because it was never gonna happen with

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Nico in charge. But the Dallas Mavericks have to consider

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>a fire sale. So let me let me. I want

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>to give everyone the actual draft picks situation for Dallas.

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>In twenty twenty six, they have their pick, so my apologies,

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I said that wrong. Twenty twenty six, they have their pick.

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>This year, they have their pick, and maybe that's good

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>because right now they're terrible. In twenty twenty seven, their

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>pick basically totally unprotected, protected only for spots one or two,

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>so unprotected goes to Charlotte. In twenty twenty eight, Jesus,

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the rich get richer, the Thunder can swap with them.

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>In twenty twenty nine, their pick goes somewhere in a

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>swap and they do have the Lakers pick, And in

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirty, my god, the Spurs can swap with them.

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>So first of all, in twenty twenty eight and twenty thirty,

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the Mavericks first round pick is gonna go to the

0:08:52.679 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Thunder and then the Spurs. Holy shit. In twenty twenty nine,

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>their pick goes somewhere. I can't figure it out. It

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>says two most favorable of Dallas Houston, Phoenix to Houston

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and then other to Brooklyn via Dallas, and Phoenix to

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn via Dallas, or Phoenix to Houston via Houston. Swap

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 1>for Dallas or Phoenix. I don't get it, but whatever,

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the MAVs will not after this coming year's draft. They

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>do not have control of their their first until twenty

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty one, until Cooper flag is in the midst of

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>his second contract, so they need to recoup picks. They

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>need to figure out, like Klay Thompson's contract is fully underwater.

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie's an interesting one, and I it's just and by

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the way, the three and eight, and I think, let

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:08.320
<v Speaker 1>me check. I think they have literally the worst offense

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA. I know, so let's just check in

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>real quick. Defense wins championships, because that's all we heard

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:24.199
<v Speaker 1>from this this guy. All we heard from him. Their

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>offense is, oh, is it no longer dead last? The

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>hold on, let me, I had it. I thought they

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 1>were dead last. Maybe I'm wrong because that says they're

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>fourteenth right now, So oh that's last year. I'm looking

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 1>at last year. It's like, hold on a second, this

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>can't be correct. It can't be the Mavericks having the

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>fifteenth offense. No chance, all right, here we go. Oh no,

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>if fair is fair, they don't have the worst offense

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.960
<v Speaker 1>in the basketball. They have the second worst offensive basketball

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to the Pacers, whose best player Torrey's achilles in Game

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>seven of the finals and second best or third best

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 1>player left the team. Now, I mean, this is just perfect,

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>just chef's kiss. Perfect defense wins championships. The Dallas Mavericks

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>are three and eight. They fired Nico Harrison. They currently

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>have the third best defense in basketball. Maybe that was

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:37.800
<v Speaker 1>a miscalculation because you have the second worst offense in basketball.

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Good luck, MAVs fans. I feel sick for you. Today's

<v Speaker 1>And I was listening to my one of my favorite podcasts,

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 1>NFL Daily, I talk about a lot with Greg Rosenthal

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and company, and in previewing this game, his Cospatrick Claiban,

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, basically tongue in cheek, melted down about the

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>media bothering Sirianni and hurts about AJ Brown and about

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>how this team won a Super Bowl last year and

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>about how this is much ado about nothing because the

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 1>latest AJ Brown drama is him going on a Twitch

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>stream and saying thing is things are not going well

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and drop me on your fantasy team, and how he

0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure others think it's a non story. Here's

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>why I vehemently disagree with that. AJ Brown being happy

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>or not might not matter. But the Philadelphia Eagles with

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the most expensive offense in NFL history, with guys who

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>are all Pro caliber all over the offensive line, multiple receivers,

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Saquon Jalen Hurts. That team being this pedestrian on offense

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>is a story. It flatly is, and it's inexplicable. Their

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 1>inability out of a buye in a game they scored

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>zero points in the first half to get AJ Brown

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>involved is in a splicable. Them leading the league by

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a huge margin on three and out rate is indefensible.

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 1>And so I give the Eagles credit because they do

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 1>find a way to win, and they're champions, and the defense,

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>particularly with the addition of Jalen Phillips, is rounding into form.

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>All of that is great. But AJ Brown is not wrong.

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 1>He might be wrong in his delivery in the way

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>it feels diva ish or selfish, all that's fine. But

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 1>his concern that this offense is not functioning properly is

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>totally correct, totally correct, and I don't have an answer

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:05.400
<v Speaker 1>for it. Seems like Petullo and Sirianni are wildly conservative

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>with the play calls up until they are just lunatics

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>on the fourth and down at the end of the game.

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>They have the highest rate of running the ball on

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>third and long of any team in twenty five years,

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.560
<v Speaker 1>which are just give up plays. Now, some of that,

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:35.160
<v Speaker 1>a tiny bit of that might be push push related,

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 1>but really their give up plays. And so it feels

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 1>silly to concern troll the Eagles who have won like

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty two of their last twenty four and of the

0:17:55.840 --> 0:18:00.960
<v Speaker 1>defending champs. But it also feels ridiculous to watch that

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 1>team have zero points at halftime, to see AJ Brown

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 1>with multiple games this year with three or fewer targets

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.000
<v Speaker 1>after he had one game like that the previous three

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:21.719
<v Speaker 1>years and act like nothing is wrong. Also, it is

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:27.639
<v Speaker 1>to me, at this point a four gone conclusion that

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:34.800
<v Speaker 1>AJ Brown is going to be gone this offseason, and

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:39.639
<v Speaker 1>I would be I personally would be quite surprised, Like

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.679
<v Speaker 1>my money would be on AJ Brown is going to

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 1>be a new England Patriot a year from now. But

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.640
<v Speaker 1>none of that matters for this season. I almost shouldn't

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 1>have even brought it up because the trade deadline has passed.

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's the other part of this that is baffling

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:02.720
<v Speaker 1>to me. You have a buye, you decide not to

0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:07.320
<v Speaker 1>trade AJ Brown the market for receiver like Again, this

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.400
<v Speaker 1>is me just speculating, but if Buffalo was gonna give

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.640
<v Speaker 1>up A one and a three for Jail and Waddle,

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine they would have given up something similar

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:20.119
<v Speaker 1>for aj Brown. Philly didn't want to trade him, so

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 1>then use him. And if you're not gonna use him,

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.720
<v Speaker 1>it's gotta be because the offense is humming without him,

0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:36.440
<v Speaker 1>but it's not Saquon the game before the buye. Notwithstanding,

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Saquan is having a brutal year, he is averaging three

0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 1>point nine yards per carry. Saquon's yards and yards per

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 1>carry by game this season sixty three point three, eighty

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:59.920
<v Speaker 1>eight four point zero, forty six two point six on

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>three two point three thirty five point zero, only got

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 1>six carries and a loss to Denver fifty eight four

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:15.199
<v Speaker 1>point eight forty four two point four, the game against

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:20.920
<v Speaker 1>the Giants one fifty ten point seven and then sixty

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:25.880
<v Speaker 1>for two point seven. So aside from the Giants game,

0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Sekuan this year has run the ball won one hundred

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and thirty five times for four hundred and twenty nine yards.

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>So what is that one thirty five for four to

0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine one thirty five times three is four oh

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>five so that is three point two yards per carry.

0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm now gonna check. I'm now gonna do that math

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:02.160
<v Speaker 1>real quick and see if I got it. I think

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 1>it's three point two yards per carry. So we said

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:10.359
<v Speaker 1>it was four twenty nine divided by one thirty five. Yeah,

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:15.880
<v Speaker 1>three point one point eight yards per carry. Aside from

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the Giants game, So feed the bald aj Brown. It's

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:28.919
<v Speaker 1>just baffling, and I don't think it's We can say

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 1>him being upset is nothing, but the offense not working

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.359
<v Speaker 1>is not nothing. By the way, if you're thinking about

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:25.359
<v Speaker 1>The Colton Saints are on a buy and that leaves

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:35.239
<v Speaker 1>us these five picks. I liked Miami minus two and

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a half against Washington when I briefly thought the game

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:45.359
<v Speaker 1>was in Washington. I love it when it's on a

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:49.680
<v Speaker 1>neutral site in Madrid. I think Washington is just flatly

0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:57.440
<v Speaker 1>two injured quarterback out, a half dozen defensive players out.

0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:02.479
<v Speaker 1>That Washington is so banged up Miami all of a sudden,

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:06.560
<v Speaker 1>sneaky good vibes. I know Tua has not done well

0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>in his international starts, but one of those was against

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs. I'll throw that one out. Uh. I think

0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Washington is just right now, one of the softer spots

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:19.680
<v Speaker 1>in the league until Jaden gets back, and I'm laying

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:23.360
<v Speaker 1>less than a field goal. So I'll take Miami minus

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>two and a half from Madrid. Chicago getting three at Minnesota.

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know this, but this is crazy. The Vikings

0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 1>are zero to six against the spread after facing the

0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Lions under Kevin O'Connell. That one, I mean, that's that's

0:23:42.880 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not nothing. It the that that applied the last

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 1>week's game against the Ravens, so maybe I wish I

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 1>knew it then. I I thought Minnesota had a lot

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>of opportunities against Baltimore. I didn't think Baltimore played that

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 1>one well and they just couldn't make the most of them.

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I think Chicago likely wins this game outright, and I'm

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 1>getting three points. Also, I like getting that all of

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:16.480
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, very explosive Chicago offense in a dome. So

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Chicago getting a full three at Minnesota. When I think

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Chicago can win outright, I'll roll with them. Tampa getting

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:28.919
<v Speaker 1>five and a half at Buffalo, I just don't know

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:36.640
<v Speaker 1>that right now. Buffalo deserves to be laying more than

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:41.080
<v Speaker 1>three and a half against any really good team, and

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I think Tampa's a really good team. They're also, this

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 1>will be the first game maybe all year, where Tampa

0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:52.440
<v Speaker 1>is the healthier team. They might have Bucky Irving back,

0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 1>they might have Chris Godwin back. At Buffalo meanwhile, is

0:24:57.040 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 1>super banged up. I don't need Tampa a win out right,

0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:03.400
<v Speaker 1>even though I think they could. I just need them

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:08.719
<v Speaker 1>to keep it, you know, manageable, and they're healthier, and

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo I think has some soul searching to do. Tampa

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:19.560
<v Speaker 1>plus five and a half probably my I'm not gonna

0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:23.040
<v Speaker 1>call it my favorite, but I like this a lot,

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 1>even though all the trends are against me because Shanahan

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:33.719
<v Speaker 1>has not covered against the Cardinals and Arizona is pretty

0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 1>good as a covering team coming off a loss. But

0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco minus two and a half at Arizona, I

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:45.719
<v Speaker 1>think Arizona is a bit of a mess. We just

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 1>saw them get absolutely demolished this past weekend. San Francisco

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 1>reckon should have Purdy back. Now. I don't think there's

0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a big difference between Purdy and mac Jones this point,

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:06.439
<v Speaker 1>but they should have Purty back, and they are. They

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:10.639
<v Speaker 1>understand that it's gonna be between them and Chicago for

0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that final playoff spot. This is a game you've got

0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 1>to take care of business. I love that I don't

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:19.439
<v Speaker 1>have to lay three and a half. Just feels like

0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:23.120
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco can control this game and win by three

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>points and I'm only laying the two and a half.

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:28.000
<v Speaker 1>So I'll take San Francisco minus the two and a half,

0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 1>and last but not least, the Chiefs laying three and

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a half at Denver. I be if you got this right,

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:40.200
<v Speaker 1>when it opened at three. Good for you. I may

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 1>have gotten it right when it opened at three, but

0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:45.479
<v Speaker 1>I will still lay the three and a half. I

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:49.399
<v Speaker 1>just do not think bo Nicks can get this Broncos

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 1>deep offense to more than seventeen points. So then the

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 1>question is do I think the Chiefs can score twenty

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.800
<v Speaker 1>one even against that Denver defense? I think they can.

0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>My real analysis of this game and everything about it

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:07.439
<v Speaker 1>you can hear on yesterday's pod, you know, around the

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:09.400
<v Speaker 1>ten minute mark. We get into it if you want

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:12.879
<v Speaker 1>to hear more there. So our five picks this week

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>are Miami minus two and a half in Madrid against Washington,

0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Chicago plus three at Minnesota, Tampa plus five and a

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:24.400
<v Speaker 1>half at Buffalo, San Francisco minus two and a half

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:28.159
<v Speaker 1>at Arizona, and Kansas City minus three and a half

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:29.719
<v Speaker 1>at Denver
