1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson, Home

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. We are

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: back um Dale Lilly here with Matt Williamson. It's time

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: to take a look, as we do every Friday, at

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: all the games around the league that are going to

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: take place. And we will start with the one o'clock games.

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: And well, the first game up is the Browns, the

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: five and four Browns at the five and four Patriots,

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: New England favored by two and a half. The over

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: under in that game is forty five. I'm under yeah.

11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean we tease this last segment. I expect the

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: Patriots defense is rounding into shape and the Browns have

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: a great running game. And with all respected Johnson, who

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: was impressive a couple of weeks ago or whatever, ain't

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and ain't gonna bust long runs against you?

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: And I have real questions. Can Mayfield win a drop

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: back pass game, you know, without a lot of help

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: from play action and boots, I mean drop back foot

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: in the ground, deliver it to receivers who are a

20
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: little suspect with or without. Oh, b J, you know

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: he's got a foot issue. He's to the shoulder issue. Right. Um,

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: they spread the ball around really well, like Cooper will

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: have three catches and the Joko of two and Landry

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: O four, but none of them got None of those

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: guys are special, you know what I mean, They're all okay.

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: And then as you said, the Patriots offense is kind

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: of the same and that they're not dynamic, they don't

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: have a lot of weapons. I think it's a grinded

29
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: out type of game, and those flavor of games, I'll

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: always pick the Patriots. You know, one of these teams

31
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: is going to make a big play on special teams

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: or you know, manage the clock a little better. And

33
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: that's don't knock on Stefan Sciamna lean towards Belichick. I'll

34
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: say this, the Patriots have turned the ball over four

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: teen times this year. A lot of them fumbles. Jones

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: is throwing some interceptions, um, which is kind of spread

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: since he doesn't really throw the ball down the field

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: all that much. But but fourteen turnovers overall. Um, New

39
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: England has played man coverage fifty seven percent of the

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: time this year, so those down for them, yeah, but

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: still it's a heavy number compared to league. Like when

42
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers were giving up some passes early in that

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: game against Cleveland. Those were zone type. They were dropping

44
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: into zones. They were loading up to stop the run

45
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: and playing you know, soft zones behind it. And you know,

46
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Mayfield was throwing the ball to the tight ends and

47
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: getting some getting some plays down the field, which is fine,

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: but then you get down into the red zone when

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: things tighten up, and they've struggled all season despite having

50
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: a great running games. Yeah, so I think these are

51
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: similar type of teams. You know, I think the Browns

52
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: are getting better. I probably would pick them to win

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: the division right now, you know, I mean I don't

54
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: feel super strong about it, but I don't think this

55
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: is a great matchup. And uh, the Patriots O line

56
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: is healthier now. You know, the Myles Garrett presents problems,

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: and the Browns Ded's a lot out presents problems too.

58
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: But the Browns want to play with six defensive backs

59
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: on the field. Belich actually gonna keep them in heavy person, Noel,

60
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: I bet. Yeah, they have two tight ends. And you know,

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: over the past five games, the Patriots have averaged to

62
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: hunt in thirty seven point four rushing yeards per game.

63
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: But they've got running back issues. Yeah, it's Stevenson and

64
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Harris are both questionable, and we talked about this a

65
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: lot with fantasy. If it's not those two, I don't

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: want anybody. Yeah, I mean they're not it's a step

67
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: down there. But Harris, I mean they're a run team

68
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: and Mac Jones manages a game and as I just

69
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be close. I see that more of

70
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: us as a pick um game. The night, New England

71
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: by two and a half. Oh, I'm surprised their favored.

72
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: I might take points. I would take the points. Yeah,

73
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: I think that should Yeah, it's in New England, right,

74
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: it's in New England. But I would I mean, Cleveland's

75
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: more talented team, even without Chubb. Oh, without question, without question. Um,

76
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: I think New England is a game. Though I don't

77
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: feel super strong about it, but I think it's I

78
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: feel super strong about the under this one is it?

79
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: It makes no sense. Saints five and three at Titans

80
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: seven and two, Tennessee favored according to this by three.

81
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: I saw two and a half last night. Alvin Kahmar

82
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: is not playing. May that may adjust a line a little.

83
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: I would think I love the Saints. What do the

84
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: Saints have offensively to hang their hat on zero nothing.

85
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: It's Trevor Simeon. Simeon. They could line both Trevor Simeon

86
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: and so up in the backfield with twelve guys on

87
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: the fun and I would still take the Tennessee Tits

88
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: win this game. Yeah, Um, no one paid attention to it.

89
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: But Simeon led some drives late in that game and

90
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: didn't play badly. But he's he's Trevor Say, we know

91
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: who he is. You know, I mean obviously has a

92
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: much higher Uh. It gets the advantage of the quarterback position,

93
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: without question. I really like the Saints D but it

94
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: struggled lately. Lattimore has been all of a sudden starting

95
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: to get beat. You know their past offense, A lot

96
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: of corners do. But he's unbelievably streaky. Looks like Julio

97
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: is gonna play. Julios played against those guys a million times.

98
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: You know, I think Tennessee scores points. I don't understand

99
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: this game. I think they wouldn't buy more than a touchdown.

100
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: I agree, I think it's gonna be. Uh. Their d

101
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: line is nasty right now. Um overrun that was forty four,

102
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: So but just kind low. I guess, yeah, a lot

103
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: of low ones this week. Yeah. Uh, Buccaneers six and

104
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: two at Washington two and six, Washington coming off the byway,

105
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: both teams off by Yeah, that's true. Uh, Tampa Bay

106
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: favored by nine and a half in the over under

107
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: is fifty one. But no Godwin that one. Antonio Brown,

108
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: I saw Godwin's questionable. Brown's out. Gronk Well, Bruce arians

109
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: Arians says he hopes that Godwin can be I don't

110
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: think he practiced again today. Okay, I knew I saw

111
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: something quick to you know, just like an hour ago,

112
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: and I know they Gronk and Brown are out. They're

113
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: out Godwin's I don't think. Yeah, I think it's a

114
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: run game for them. I think Washington can keep it close.

115
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: I mean, Washington runs the ball reasonably well despite Gibson

116
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: not putting up great points. Tampa it's really really hard

117
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: to run against. And I don't trust I mean, Heineke first.

118
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: Brady Enough said, Um, I think Washington can keep it close.

119
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: So because I don't know that Tampa is gonna score

120
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: a million against him, you know something they don't have

121
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: their guys. Yeah, um, I give you the little thing.

122
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger last week, past this past Tom Brady for

123
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: the most sacks all time. Um, their neck and neck.

124
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: Now Roethlisberger's one sacked one. Brady has been sacked twelve

125
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: times this year in his eight games. Roethlisberger has now

126
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: been sacked uh sixteen times in his eight games. This

127
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: might end up going neck and neck all the way

128
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: down the stretch here. It absolutely could. It's a really

129
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: interesting one to me, and I don't have it in

130
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: front of me. It was on that stat pack thing

131
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: I did this week. But it's amazing how many more

132
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: games Brady's played than Ben. To me, that's the really

133
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: interesting thing if they're basically the same number of sacks,

134
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: well over five hundred by the way, Yeah, I think

135
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: it's five thirty four. Could you imagine he sacked five

136
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: hundred and sometimes, you know, like I wonder why Ben's

137
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: not walking around like he used to, like he had

138
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: sacked five hundred thirty four times or something in his life.

139
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: That doesn't it doesn't include all the times he's you know,

140
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: he used a run right every times got hit? Yeah right,

141
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean, unbelievable. Um, but just think about that as

142
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: a human being getting sacked by those people five standing stationary,

143
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: right guy to run into you and back. Then he's

144
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: old enough that they didn't protect quarterbacks like they do now.

145
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: Their head shots. There's the shots, you know, Uh, Bills

146
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: five and three at Jets six or two and six,

147
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo favored by twelve the over under forty seven and

148
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: a half. That's a big number, is a big number.

149
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: Mike White's gonna start. Bills are struggling. They don't run

150
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: the ball, well, they don't want to run the ball,

151
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: but they've also showed a uh the ability to blow

152
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: out some bad teams despite this past week's long and

153
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: this is this is the division game, that's a common

154
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: opponent that they know. They just got embarrassed last week.

155
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: They destroy them. I think they just smoke them. Yeah,

156
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: and don't know the Jets move the ball. Well, I'm

157
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: looking here at the picks for the NFL Nation writers.

158
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: The Bills writer picks Bills twenty seven, Jets thirteen. Uh,

159
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: the Jets writer picks Bills one, Jets twenty. Oh wow,

160
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: come on, come on, this Mike White stuff is It's wonderful.

161
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's now going to be Chase Daniel for

162
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: his life. I mean he's he's played about four quarters.

163
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: Actually right right, let's not. Let's not, you know, say

164
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: he's he's going to be the next Tom Brady here exactly.

165
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: It probably won't work. That they'll come after him. They'll

166
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: make life very tough one him. The Bills do have

167
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: the number one defense in the NFL. Yes, and I

168
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: bet it is after this week. Uh, Falcons four and

169
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: four at Cowboys six and two, Dallas favored by nine

170
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: and a half, the over under fifty five. I think

171
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: this is another bounce back game. What would this spreadbee

172
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: had Dallas not lost less week? It's funny I said

173
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: that on my podcast yesterday. I said, let's pretend this

174
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: game was played two weeks ago, not even a months ago.

175
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: I bet their fourteen point favorites. Yeah, and I think

176
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: that's closer to what they both these teams really are. Yeah.

177
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: I think you know, the Falcon is good for them.

178
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: They're they've gotten the four. They're doing some good things.

179
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: Not a lot of talent there. Their lines bad, their

180
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: defense is bad. I appreciate how Ryan and Pitts and

181
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: Patterson and the new head coach are all doing, all

182
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: have improved. You're getting a lot out of not much,

183
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: but Dallas has way more talent and Doak is not

184
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: going to play like that again. The Cowboys seven and

185
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: one against the spread this season. Last week was five

186
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: and oh in conference games. That's the thing that people,

187
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's the nonconference games. Teams you don't see

188
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, you know, you gotta again a short

189
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: week to prepare for a non conference opponent. Like it's

190
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: funny were I forget who's playing Denver this week? I

191
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: know we'll get to the Gameladelphia. That's one to me?

192
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: Like how many Eagles have ever played in Denver? Right,

193
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: you know, like one to know what I mean? And

194
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: the other team that's gonna be a challenge for them,

195
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: Like I like that. I don't think Denver is good,

196
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna pick Denver in Okay. Yeah, although Denver's

197
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: missing three offensive either offensive, which that's a problem. Um.

198
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Jaguars two and six at Colts four and five Indianapolis

199
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: favored by ten and a half, the over under forty

200
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: seven and a half. I don't know what to make

201
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: of the line. I mean, I think the Colts win.

202
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: I think the Colts run on them unlike Buffalo. I mean,

203
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a big Jonathan Taylor game. Jaguar is

204
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: only allowing three point eight yards of carrying. They're not

205
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: outside their defense. Isn't horrible? Yeah, I mean, I just

206
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: don't think they'll have to deviate from the run game,

207
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: which shortens the game and probably makes it a lower

208
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: scoring one. Wentz makes one bad decision and you lose

209
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: that bed if you if you took the Colts. I'm

210
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: not a believe that the Jags have turned the corner,

211
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: but I think they keep it close. Yeah, neither one

212
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: of the NFL Nation writers agree with you. Well, actually

213
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: actually the h the Jaguars writers picking Colts seventeen, Jaguars fourteen, um,

214
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: the Cults writers picking thirty one the seventeen. I think

215
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: I would take the points in that game, but that's

216
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: not my favorite bet of the week. I don't know

217
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: that Jonathan Taylor is gonna run like he has been running. Um,

218
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: and you can count on Carson Wentz to maybe have

219
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: a oops moments. He screws one thing up and the

220
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: Colts are not running away with that game. Yeah, we

221
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: know the Lions and Steelers. Steelers are favored by nine.

222
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: He over under forty two and a half picks at

223
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: the end of the show, Bikings three and five at

224
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: Chargers five and three kind of an elimination game. I

225
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: and Dalvin Cook goes bonkers. But I don't like favored

226
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: by three, the over unders fifty three. Yeah, I saw that.

227
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't like the other things going on in Minnesota.

228
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: I think Dalvin Cooke has a huge game. When we parted,

229
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: dfs lineup around. Just don't even try to stop the run. No,

230
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: he's going to gouge them. But I also think Herbert

231
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: is really really good. He tear, he'll tear up The'll

232
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: tear that group up. Hunt No, Daniel Hunter. I like

233
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers in that game. Kirk Cousins is not thrown

234
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: an interception in seven straight road games. Good for him.

235
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: That's a pretty impressive streak. Yeah. Um, that is the

236
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: longest since Tom Brady went eight without one. Okay, we

237
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: never guess that that was. He was when his first

238
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: couple of years as a starter. People forget this about

239
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: him because everyone thinks he's so conservative. He was at

240
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: a ridiculous interception pace, like historically bad. He's really reeled

241
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: it in. I mean he's and he's not, like he

242
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: doesn't take chances, but they're passing games a little hit

243
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: and miss right now too. Would you take the points

244
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: in that game? Though? He's three? The Vikings and the

245
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: king of the close game? They are they are? That

246
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: might be one you're looking for a teaser. Vikings plus

247
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: nine would be Uh, they probably won't get blown out. Yeah.

248
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: I picked the Chargers my as the points. They've played

249
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: seven one score games this year. Wow, Yeah, that's who

250
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: they are. They don't win many of them, but seven.

251
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: The Panthers four and five, Cardinals eight and one. It

252
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: looks like Kyler Murray will be back. Uh. The Arizona

253
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: favored by ten and a half, the over Hunters forty four,

254
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: all these all these like double digit games have low

255
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: over hunders. Yeah, which makes me want to take the points. Yea,

256
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: Panthers DS respectable. I mean I would take the points. Um.

257
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: The Cam Newton thing doesn't change anything, but I do

258
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: think whether it's you may assume it's Walker if he

259
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: can just not stink, you know, you've got a fully

260
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: healthy McCaffrey. Now, who's gonna get a bigger workload? He

261
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: died last week. I bet d J. Moore's production goes

262
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: up a little. The Panthers. Oh line really worries me

263
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: in this match with Chandler Jones and those guys. But

264
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: I think the defense is fast and keeps things. Son

265
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: Reddick revenge game about that. Um, Cardinals aren't real healthy

266
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: though they are not. Kyler plays. He's not gonna run,

267
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: He's not gonna run. Both writers picking blowouts eight seventeen really,

268
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: and I'll take the points. I don't know that the

269
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: Cardinals get that high in this game. I don't either. Yeah,

270
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: I think it'll be more connor than they're used to run.

271
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: There's only forty four. Do these guys know better than

272
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: Vegas that they could think the Cardinals gonna score thirty

273
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: two and thirty eight points, almost get to the almost

274
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: get themselves. Yeah, I'm not sure I see that. I

275
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: think Aline's good. This is a sneaky good game. Now.

276
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: Seahawks three and five at Packers seven and two should

277
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: get Wilson versus Rogers. Should get Wilson versus Rogers. Yeah,

278
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: Seahawks are kind of desperate. Sam base favored by three

279
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: and a half. Yeah, the over runners forty nine and

280
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: a half. Um. I don't think people realize how well

281
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: Wilson was playing pre injury too, like as well as

282
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: any quarterback in the league. And I'm sure he'll have

283
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: his best foot forward for this one, and I would

284
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: expect some big plays the metcalf and lock it. I'm

285
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: taking Rogers at home, though. I bet he's embarrassed. I

286
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: bet you get elite Rogers play after these last couple

287
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: of weeks of being in the news. And you know,

288
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: he seems like the type of guy that when you

289
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: challenge him, you get the best version of him, you

290
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean. With Wilson on the field this year,

291
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are averaging six point five yards per play.

292
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: It's a big number, a big number number. Without him,

293
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: it was four point seven yards of play. It's pretty massive.

294
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: Usually league averages five issues it's almost two yards of play.

295
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: That huge. Yeah. He's great, Yeah, play as well as

296
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: he ever has. Um, it should be. It should be

297
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: an interesting one. Both writers picking a close game within

298
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: the number. Well, I think US fans or that hook

299
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: is interesting. The three and a half and a half, Yeah,

300
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: that is interesting. I'm gonna lay the points, but three

301
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: and I wish it was two and a half, you

302
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Um, But US fans we get

303
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: Wilson Verse Rodgers. That's a heck a lot better than

304
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: Geneo Verse. Love Eagles three and six at Broncos five

305
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: and four. Denver favored by two and a half. The

306
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: over under forty five and a half. Yeah, I kind

307
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: of teased this earlier. I feel pretty strong about Denver,

308
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: and I don't even think they're good. I'm not impressed

309
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: with Philly's coaching staff or coordinators or scheme. And I

310
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: know the Denver Diaz injuries. The Denver A line has injuries,

311
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: but I'll trust Munch and Fangio. Defense still figures out

312
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: ways to Yeah, I mean, I know they're short on corners,

313
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: but what is Jalen Hurtz going to come out in

314
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: four receivers? You know? Be right? It's in some cornerbacks

315
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: against Yeah, I mean, Philly's never really played in in Denver.

316
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's a tough place to play. I think

317
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: it's a big Javonte Williams Gordon game, and I like

318
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: Denver in that one. The writer's pick The Eagles writer

319
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: picks Eagles twenty to nineteen. The Broncos writer picks Broncos seventeen.

320
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm more I don't know if anyone. I'll get to

321
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: twenty six. But yeah, they cover big game in the

322
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: a f C West Sunday Night game, Chiefs five and

323
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: four at Raiders five and three, Kansas City favored by

324
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: two and a half. The over under his fifty two.

325
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: Remember that the Raiders beat the Chiefs last year. Yeah, right, right,

326
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: when the Chiefs are playing way better than that. Yeah. Absolutely.

327
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: This is as good a week as any against a

328
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: common opponent plays a very basic cover three for the

329
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs that look like the Chiefs Again. I say that

330
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: every Friday, and I'm done with that noise. I mean,

331
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: they're just not playing well and I'm not putting pass

332
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: rushers that are going to give the Chiefs problem. Without question.

333
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: There's a little staff where the Raiders are allowing the

334
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: second fewest yards per passe attempt in the league, six

335
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: point six point three yards Perpasit they rushed the passer

336
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: and they get it out quick. Yeah, right, right right, Um,

337
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm just taking the points in this game. That was

338
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: my logic when I looked at it was I don't

339
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: know who's better. Um, it's in Vegas, right yeah, and

340
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna be loud Sunday night game. I think I mean,

341
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a looped up black hole and I'll

342
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: just take the points at home. Yeah, is it really

343
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: the black hole? Though? I don't. I don't think it's

344
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: still You can't be the black hole. You don't get

345
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: to move the name of the stadium. The black hole

346
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: is in Oakland. It's still there. Whether it's still there,

347
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's like we're Buffy the Vampire Slayer was,

348
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, had the hell mouth was at. I thought

349
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an interesting environment. I have a feeling,

350
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: and not an easy one, but that pop culture. I

351
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: didn't see this show or movie or whatever, so I

352
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: didn't know what the heck you're talking about and started

353
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: talking football. Sorry. Uh? And then finally have you gotten

354
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: that one loser? That one's in trouble in that division?

355
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't think either one who has been playing well,

356
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: let's all right, kind of like the bed against both. Yeah,

357
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: I feel that way, Like I don't know what to

358
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: think of the entire AFC West right now. That's I

359
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: was gonna say. I mean to like, a month ago,

360
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: we're talking about the AFC West might be the best

361
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: division in football. Who well, they've done is loose since

362
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: except for Denver, who's the worst team of the division.

363
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: They have a nice, big win. Who would you pick

364
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: to win that division right now? Chargers? Me too. But

365
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: I don't feel strong I don't feel strongly about it.

366
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: I don't I don't feel that that the Broncos can

367
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: do it. I don't think that the Raiders can do it.

368
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm pretty certain the Broncos are the worst team, but

369
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: they're not in a bad spot and the schedule is

370
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: not daunting for them. No, it's not the final game

371
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Rams seven and two at forty Niners

372
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: three and five. The Rams favored by four. That the

373
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: over under forty nine. UM. The Rams got embarrassed last

374
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: week at home. The forty Niners got embarrassed at home.

375
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: Fortys and not one a home game in over a years,

376
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: been a really bad place. I think they're I think

377
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: they they get trounced in this. I don't think this

378
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: is close at all. And then people start talking about

379
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan might be the time might be up. Outside

380
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: of that one super Bowl season where he took them

381
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl, they've been a losing team every

382
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: other year. Here's a scene He's like Jeff Fisher, it's true.

383
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean he's a great offensive mind. I think he's

384
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: a dismal GM and he is the GM there Um.

385
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: He keeps bringing in his own guys Sinew and Mac

386
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: and all these dudes to make up for his mistakes

387
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: in the draft, and they developed players worse than any

388
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: team in the league, which worries me about Lance. They're

389
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: not even playing him. Um here, here's a dismal number

390
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: for Niners fans. Remember Mike Singletary. How bad a coach

391
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: he was there? Yes, better winning percentage as the Niners

392
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: head coach than Kyle Jadhan. Yeah. Yeah, that makes my teeth.

393
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: It's it's not good. And they can't blame injuries this year. No,

394
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: And if you do want to blame injuries, don't sign

395
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: Jason Varette and expect him to play seventeen games when

396
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: when he showed you six years in a row that

397
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: he can't do it. They have like five guys like that.

398
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: It's like, I feel bad for your bad luck. Don't

399
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: get me wrong, but you keep signing these guys that

400
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: never finished the season anyway, you know what you think's

401
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I agree, Yeah, I think the Rams just

402
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: beat him up. O'Dell plays or not, I don't care.

403
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: I think von Miller does. I bet Aaron Donald goes

404
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: insane and Jimmy G stinks he's gonna be beat up. Yes,

405
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: so I think that's what happens there. That would imagine,

406
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: assuming they lose, it has to be lands time now. Yeah,

407
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: I think he'll be three and six. It's I think

408
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: it's Jimmy's last stand. Yeah, Jimmy's last stand. Jimmy G

409
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: a starter somewhere next year. I actually thought about that

410
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: on the way here, which really weird. You brought that up.

411
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: And I think about Jimmy G a lot. I do

412
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: usually when I'm alone late at night. We should do this,

413
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: maybe like next week or during the bye. We should

414
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: have done this is predict to the thirty two starting

415
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks will be. I bet he's a no. I'm thinking

416
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: to know as we're right, Like, I don't think Donald is?

417
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: I know Donald Donald? You know is Cam could he?

418
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: And if he finishes a year strong, he has more

419
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: of a chance than than darn right right right? Like

420
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: I bet Robisky is a better chance to be a

421
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: starter than Jimmy. Mary Oda might have a better chance,

422
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: right right, at least he's you know, the burden, the burden,

423
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: the bush or whatever. You know. Yeah, I did think

424
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: it's very interesting. But we're gonna take a break. We'll

425
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: get back with the final segment. We'll make our picks,

426
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: we'll pick our fantasy lineup for DFS. We'll do all

427
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: that right after this Black and Gold footballs here right,

428
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: you're listening to S n R
