Speaker 1: This is NFL Game Previews, where we give you a
Speaker 1: preview of every game on the Week eight Slay, along
Speaker 1: with the recap of what our ten person prediction panel
Speaker 1: says about each game. That's the good part. To be clear,
Speaker 1: I'm no analyst, I'm just game preview guy. We start
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, Sunday night football action, Green Bay Packers on
Speaker 1: the road in Buffalo, trying to stop an offense as
Speaker 1: good as there is in the game. A lot he's
Speaker 1: going to. That's Dave David Packers defense this week up
Speaker 1: against an O averaging close to thirty points a game
Speaker 1: best at moving the sticks, sticks gets out of How
Speaker 1: can they stop Josh Allen and his past catchers Alan
Speaker 1: at the Bills by seventeen touchdowns against just four picks
Speaker 1: over eight yards of her attempt rating close to a
Speaker 1: hundred and ten yards for completion over twelve his game
Speaker 1: smelling a little m VPS close to the people. That's
Speaker 1: the knocks hackers pass coverage skills. They played Taylor Heineke
Speaker 1: well enough in Week seven under a ninety rating six
Speaker 1: point one yards per attempt, picked him off and took
Speaker 1: it to the house. Hit as he thaws. It has
Speaker 1: ripped away by Campbell Devondre Campbell pick six green Bay
Speaker 1: on the year, though green Bay's numbers against quarterbacks not great,
Speaker 1: completion percentage allowed of sixty nine rating against ninety five
Speaker 1: cornerbacks Eric Stokes and Russell Douglass both with ninety five
Speaker 1: plus ratings allowed to the end, Zode, He's got a
Speaker 1: man and gets it. He's in for the tuxedout cornerback Jayre. Alexander, though,
Speaker 1: has been his usual self. He did give up his
Speaker 1: first TV last week to carry McClaren still holding Hubis
Speaker 1: to an eighty point one rating. That's really well done.
Speaker 1: Now I just gotta wrap him up, Gyre, go take
Speaker 1: him down by yourself. Get that tackle. So how about
Speaker 1: Alexander versus Stefon Digs. Buffalo's pass catching floor is he
Speaker 1: but it's still Digs that it all flows through thirty
Speaker 1: seven more targets than anyone else on the team, over
Speaker 1: thirteen yards per catch, averaging over eight receptions a game,
Speaker 1: close to a hundred ten yards per game for digs.
Speaker 1: So that's a touchdown for Buffalo. If Alexander can disrupt
Speaker 1: Alan the digs, then Green Bay's other dvs have to
Speaker 1: keep up with the speedsters Isaiah mackenzie and Gabe Davis.
Speaker 1: That duo has averaged over a hundred yards per game combined.
Speaker 1: It was right. There's McKinzie. He got up by prrecture
Speaker 1: yardage and blanks up had there is a first down
Speaker 1: catch Gabe Zavis. Hackers challenges made even harder because they
Speaker 1: have to figure out a way to pressure Alan. He
Speaker 1: hasn't faced much of it in two pressure rate on
Speaker 1: the year, just twenty point six. Hasn't taken many sacks.
Speaker 1: Like quarterback. There's another Ppresim Jillio. Let's get droppers down.
Speaker 1: It's part of why they're so hard to stop, and
Speaker 1: green Bay blitz him. Of course he can just take
Speaker 1: off over five yards per carry for Alan, over forty
Speaker 1: rushing yards per games Allen whe So can green Bay's
Speaker 1: offense keep up? They come in out of sorts over
Speaker 1: six on third down and they're loss to Washington under
Speaker 1: forty yards rushing under two hundred yards passing for Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers Rogers cross so it isn't in completion and it
Speaker 1: brings up fourth down. Rogers didn't even get sacked once
Speaker 1: and he only got hit once on thirty five pass attempts.
Speaker 1: He threw two touchdowns, wasn't picked off rating of ninety nine.
Speaker 1: Nothing open for Rogers rolling throwing ends up however, five
Speaker 1: point five yards per attempt. That's three straight games he's
Speaker 1: been six yards per attempt or less. A k A
Speaker 1: very little explosiveness to their passing games, and you can
Speaker 1: see the guys pass right there. You're hoping that you
Speaker 1: rubbed somebody off. The frustrations on the face of Rogers
Speaker 1: has been visible multiple times today. Now Rogers is facing
Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in the game thirteen turnovers,
Speaker 1: holding teams the thirteen point five points per game, holding
Speaker 1: QBS to a seventy one point to rating, five touchdowns
Speaker 1: through the air allowed ten high end team. It's time, fine,
Speaker 1: time and set it in the m Zoe Bills pass rush.
Speaker 1: They've pressured QBS twenty nine point eight percent of dropbacks.
Speaker 1: That's impressive. They don't have to blitz much. Still, over
Speaker 1: three sacks per game, Von Miller with six, Greg Ussau
Speaker 1: with four. That's time comes Miller to bring it down
Speaker 1: back one yard a lot, and should the Pack try
Speaker 1: and run it, they'll be doing it against a defense
Speaker 1: that's holding runners to a three point five yards per
Speaker 1: carry figure on sept It and goal and hand it
Speaker 1: up for no game. You don't see this very often.
Speaker 1: No one took the pack in our ten person picks panel,
Speaker 1: all bills all the time. The Minnesota Vikings nice and
Speaker 1: arrested after a week off take on the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: this week, coming in with a few days extra rest
Speaker 1: after getting into the wind call um last Thursday. Hepped
Speaker 1: off at the fortne Isaiah Simmons, Simmons in pounds, Simmons
Speaker 1: all the way standing ovation of the Cardinals and Saints.
Speaker 1: By the way, over seventy points on a Thursday is
Speaker 1: this h what day is this over seventy points? Anyway?
Speaker 1: Arizona looking to go to and O on the year.
Speaker 1: With d hop on the field, DeAndre Hopkins will draw
Speaker 1: plenty of attention from Minnesota's dbs, especially based on what
Speaker 1: we saw from his two debut drop second and seven
Speaker 1: to the outside open making the grant there's Hopkins. Hopkins
Speaker 1: caught ten passes a hundred and three yards. Does it
Speaker 1: matter that Kyler Murray treated the rest of his past
Speaker 1: catching corps like woodis after getting a buzz light year
Speaker 1: through at Hopkins fourteen times. Rest of the team saw
Speaker 1: fifteen combined targets as Gil from man there he goes
Speaker 1: to the courting Hopkins. Holding on at a first variety
Speaker 1: may be necessary this week. It will not be as
Speaker 1: easy for Murray to get de Hoop the ball, not
Speaker 1: if Patrick Peterson keeps playing as well as he has.
Speaker 1: Forty eight point five rating against seven passes defense, zero
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed, holding QB's to a sub fifty completion percentage.
Speaker 1: Ter came who preach up the pass of ten for Wattle?
Speaker 1: Whichever receiver has Cameron dance laur on him, That's who
Speaker 1: Murray should feed. He had the skull Waldo cap on
Speaker 1: at their by two touchdowns allowed, rating against over one ten,
Speaker 1: completion percentage allowed over seventy five lots of time. How
Speaker 1: the passes caught. Minnesota's past defense has been more danceler
Speaker 1: than p squared so far, rating allowed over ninety, completion
Speaker 1: percentage allowed close to seventy while giving up fat Albert
Speaker 1: sized yard per attempt and yard per completion figure burned
Speaker 1: out of ten brits water to the outside. What all
Speaker 1: p first out? They'll try and get right again, Murray,
Speaker 1: He's been trying to get right all year. His Week
Speaker 1: seventh stat line was better with Hopkins than it had
Speaker 1: been without him. He comes in off his first triple
Speaker 1: digit rating game of the season, not a ton of yards,
Speaker 1: but snapped a three game I n T streets on
Speaker 1: the run and last cook and into Saint sterritory, goes
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore. How much heat will he be dealing with?
Speaker 1: He's taking sixteen sacks and seven games. Took a couple
Speaker 1: last week, par for the course in the end zone
Speaker 1: and coming out of the end zone and doing something
Speaker 1: anyway take it down of the ten yard line. But
Speaker 1: he's only faced pressure on twenty one point three percent
Speaker 1: of his dropbacks. That's not a lot. Now though he
Speaker 1: faces a front that has applied pressure over thirty percent
Speaker 1: of the time. That is a lot. Over thirty is
Speaker 1: over the line, as Walter would put in. And they
Speaker 1: don't blitz much either, don't have to when you have
Speaker 1: dj want Um, Danil Hunter and their lead QB hunter
Speaker 1: Darius Smith up front. They have helped the Vikings devour
Speaker 1: close to three e qbs per game. That Darris Smith
Speaker 1: getting right around the corner reaking havoc. If he's done
Speaker 1: all game, all if the pressure indeed shows up in
Speaker 1: Murray's face. He can always bolt thirty rush yards in
Speaker 1: their win last week, a hundred the week before. Better
Speaker 1: keeps it himself. If he goes for a game of
Speaker 1: eighteen Vikings to face two scrambling qubs this season, Justin
Speaker 1: Fields and Jalen Hurts both were plenty of ficient against him.
Speaker 1: Minnesota has given up four point three a carry overall
Speaker 1: on the season, so not great. Hurts keeps Arab edge
Speaker 1: and bends it back down fighting for the end. Sall
Speaker 1: want a run, but that could mean another good game
Speaker 1: for Eno Benjamin too. He filled in for James Conner
Speaker 1: last week ninety two yards, seven point seven a run,
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Even if Connor comes back, Eno should still
Speaker 1: factor still Benjamin. With their tapsoo running backs out, he
Speaker 1: gets to start at off he goes before. Since we're
Speaker 1: talking running backs, let's transition to the Bike's offense and
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook at thereby, he was sitting on four point
Speaker 1: eight to run four touchdowns seventy five rush yards per
Speaker 1: game rushdown still going in saw thirty. It saw the
Speaker 1: town of five touchdown Cardinals run defense, much like Minnesota's
Speaker 1: four point three allowed first Camper as well. You're a
Speaker 1: Saints fan. How nice is it to see Alvin Camara
Speaker 1: was room to run? How often will Minnesota bother running? Though? Yes,
Speaker 1: Arizona picked off Andy Dalton last week three times a
Speaker 1: house called two of them and his tip and interception
Speaker 1: and all the way inside the ten to the end zones?
Speaker 1: Does Marco Wilship. But Kirk Cousins also saw the Cardinals
Speaker 1: give up four ten passes to Dalton. Both their primary
Speaker 1: starting corners gave up touchdowns along with significant yards rating
Speaker 1: allowed for the year. Now for Arizona nine seven point
Speaker 1: too caught by Hill and he will barrel his way
Speaker 1: into the end zone. So who is the lucky person
Speaker 1: that will get the task of covering j J here?
Speaker 1: I am eighteen today, happy bright, narrow man in pure
Speaker 1: Dino Mike justin Jefferson in this case almost eight receptions
Speaker 1: a game close to a hundred and ten yards a
Speaker 1: game rating on his targets over a hundred. It's thirty
Speaker 1: six parseets, Guy saft touch Now they pick up the
Speaker 1: first out of Is this the game? Cousins and Adam
Speaker 1: Feeling refined their chemistry. Feeling is averaging less than fifty
Speaker 1: yards a game rating on his targets low eighties, but
Speaker 1: parget projects passers put spill it again. Cousins, in turn,
Speaker 1: doesn't have the same kind of digits we're used to
Speaker 1: sing from him sub ninety rating under seven yards per attempt,
Speaker 1: under ten yards per completion five I n t s.
Speaker 1: Cousins throws up terrific defensive playing X factor in this game.
Speaker 1: Arizona's pass rush Minnesota's O line Vikings haven't given up
Speaker 1: a ton of sacks, but fresher percentage allowed over thirty
Speaker 1: drapped up sack back at the forty Cardinals pass rush
Speaker 1: forty nine opportunities to grab a bag in week seven,
Speaker 1: not one sack flush that I sound Field finds his
Speaker 1: man at the forty one yard line of our voters
Speaker 1: went Vikings, Mark Sessler, Marcus Grant, and Colleen Wolf siding
Speaker 1: with Arizona. Time for another battle of Ohio Cleveland Browns
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football. Trying to slow down the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Bengals and they're high flying passing attack. Follo's got wind,
Speaker 1: that's for the touchdown. That's time avoid. Brown's defense has
Speaker 1: a tall task this week. Find the formula that stops
Speaker 1: Joe SHYSTI and his buds. Joe Burrow through for four
Speaker 1: hundred eighty one yards last week, three touchdowns no I
Speaker 1: n T s are rating close to one forty. He's
Speaker 1: posted a rating over one ten and four of his
Speaker 1: last five games twelve touchdowns one I n T in
Speaker 1: that span. Tremendous placement on this ball. From Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: to Jamaar Chase. Browns have to have three cornerbacks have
Speaker 1: good games. Jamaar Chase, Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd All came
Speaker 1: close to a hundred yard games against Atlanta. What does
Speaker 1: Cleveland have to counter with? They've played the past solidly overall,
Speaker 1: have held qbs to a completion rate in the low
Speaker 1: sixties rating against ninety two point four. That's acceptable range.
Speaker 1: Pick up Lord Denzel Ward missed last week. He's the
Speaker 1: top candidate to Chase Chase if he's healthy. However, he
Speaker 1: has given up a few tens, rating allowed over a
Speaker 1: hundred on the year. If he's out, then maybe Gregg
Speaker 1: Knewsome slides over to Jamaar. He's had a nice two
Speaker 1: holding qbs to a sub seventy five rating. Expect Myles
Speaker 1: Garrett to help up front. He added another sack to
Speaker 1: his total one week seven, has a half dozen this
Speaker 1: season for good. He's got him in the goes Burrow,
Speaker 1: of course, is a grass expert, if you will. Three
Speaker 1: more sacks taken in Week seven, sack for the third
Speaker 1: time today. Most understand the deal on this front, though,
Speaker 1: Unless the Browns get him for major yards or on
Speaker 1: an important third down or cause a fumble, they're just
Speaker 1: another play to him. He sees it as taking a
Speaker 1: strikeout and outs and out, so he gets up for
Speaker 1: another swing without much thought being put into it. Twelve
Speaker 1: straight passes, but here he's going down to courtesy of
Speaker 1: Lottle Rizo Carter. Bengals run game, Joe Mixon is still
Speaker 1: trying to keep defenses honest. He scored last week. Mixon
Speaker 1: gets another opportunity, stumbles, but enough momentum to fall forward
Speaker 1: that score the touchdown. He's averaging just three point four
Speaker 1: a carry, though, so he's still along for the ride.
Speaker 1: In most of their games, the Browns could allow him
Speaker 1: to move up front if they aren't careful. They have
Speaker 1: struggled against runners, giving up four point seven to carry
Speaker 1: the six. Nick Chubb, on the other hand, not riding
Speaker 1: along in anyone's car or even sitting shotgun. He's the
Speaker 1: driver of the Browns bus yards last week five point
Speaker 1: seven a carry, touchdown, eight t d s on the season,
Speaker 1: five point nine a run on the season, over a
Speaker 1: hundred yards per game on the season, five plus down. Look,
Speaker 1: here's a thought, feed him more. Browns have four losses
Speaker 1: in a row, one common denominator. Chubb had fewer than
Speaker 1: twenty carries, and all four of those losses Cleveland's two
Speaker 1: wins twenty plus carries. I know it's not that simple,
Speaker 1: but still would be fun to see him with a
Speaker 1: thirty plus carry game sometime. Why not have it be
Speaker 1: against a team like the Bengals who are giving up
Speaker 1: four point six a carry. Their dts and linebackers are
Speaker 1: beat up some too, so they might be especially vulnerable
Speaker 1: to someone of Chubb's class. Plus, why play into the
Speaker 1: bengals defensive strength They almost had a by last week,
Speaker 1: only faced thirteen pass attempts season work versus quarterbacks though
Speaker 1: mighty impressive rating allowed mid seventies, completion rate allowed, under
Speaker 1: sixty yards per attempt allowed, low sixes on bell back
Speaker 1: of the safety position gets that overthrow. Cheetah Awoosi a
Speaker 1: versus A Marii Cooper. There's a nice one on one.
Speaker 1: A Woozier has been on the other team's w R
Speaker 1: one all year rating against fifty five point six of
Speaker 1: all players involved in at least twenty five targets this season.
Speaker 1: That's sixth lowest. He's only allowed qbs to complete forty
Speaker 1: point four percent of passes Cooper. He got hit with
Speaker 1: a big offensive p I in Week seven. He still
Speaker 1: had three receptions on four targets seventy four yards. He's
Speaker 1: Jacoby Rissett's top target, averaging sixty reception yards per game.
Speaker 1: Process is gonna go deeper and DPJ comes in off
Speaker 1: a productive outing. Donovan People's Jones six targets, six catches
Speaker 1: seventy one yards as well Wills. But these girls due,
Speaker 1: but he's past. Just get the full so Brissette is
Speaker 1: equipped with some good pass catchers. He used them well
Speaker 1: in his last outing, close to two hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: yards over nine and a half yards per attempt, a
Speaker 1: rating over one oh five. He just hasn't played like
Speaker 1: that in most games. Low sixties completion rate, low eighties
Speaker 1: rating under seven yards per throws. Brissette does face a
Speaker 1: better than average pass rush. Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard
Speaker 1: have helped the Bengals generate a twenty nine point one
Speaker 1: pressure rate. That's pretty good. Hendrickson with three and a
Speaker 1: half bags on the season. He did leave last week
Speaker 1: with a stinger, so I have to see how bad
Speaker 1: it was. All ten of our voters went orange chalk
Speaker 1: in this case, all ten taking the Bengals. New Orleans
Speaker 1: Saints are at home following a little, very much needed
Speaker 1: extra arrest. They welcome a team from another party town,
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, who rumble into town with one
Speaker 1: of the hottest backs going the light hand up to
Speaker 1: take a has five tout Jacobs. Raiders brass is like, hey,
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, remember how we didn't pick up your fifth
Speaker 1: year option. We were just kidding. You could take a
Speaker 1: good burn right. Jacob's last week three touchdowns a hundred
Speaker 1: and forty three yards seven point to per run. He's
Speaker 1: averaging a hundred forty seven yards in his last three games,
Speaker 1: and the swerving Jacobs gets away, they can't bring him down.
Speaker 1: Even to his Jersey Saints run defense. They gave up
Speaker 1: seven point seven a carry to Eno Benjamin last week
Speaker 1: four point seven a carry allowed for the year. Here
Speaker 1: that knock at the door. Jacobs, Benjamin straight ahead, big
Speaker 1: whole party, forty five fifty far side of the forty
Speaker 1: finally knocked out a bound, the longest play from scrimmage
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals this season. It was opportunity if you
Speaker 1: didn't get it. If Jacobs can lead the way again,
Speaker 1: it makes Derek Carr and Davonte Adams harder to deal with.
Speaker 1: Carr had his best game of the year versus a
Speaker 1: tough Texans defense, a hundred sixty two point rating, eight
Speaker 1: point nine yards per attempt, no interceptions. His second best
Speaker 1: game was also a big Jacob's game. You get the
Speaker 1: connection right, free step, drop, presructive, It'll alude steps up
Speaker 1: the little fire Lady's tack on Texas four. If Derek
Speaker 1: Carr does this for the rest of his career, here
Speaker 1: will be a future Hall offender. Adams, He's averaged close
Speaker 1: to eighty five receiving yards per game this year, had
Speaker 1: ninety five and Week seven, maybe more important, nine targets,
Speaker 1: caught eight of them. Why does Adams get so open?
Speaker 1: Because he's one of the best in the league, if
Speaker 1: not the best receiver. We had all of football. Tight
Speaker 1: End Darren Waller missed their win. Hurt have to track
Speaker 1: that Mac Collins and Hunter Renfro have been picking up
Speaker 1: the scraps. Renfro three targets, three receptions fifty five yards
Speaker 1: versus Houston card play act in the pocket, lobstock Field
Speaker 1: redfas at the coty five, Derek core office back point
Speaker 1: loved it down the field, rat Froll caught and reaching
Speaker 1: out over his white shoulder. Saints are one of several
Speaker 1: teams to get crushed by injuries. Cornerback Marshawn Lattimore didn't
Speaker 1: play last week, He'd be the obvious choice to stick Adams.
Speaker 1: How about Bradley Roby, he's playing good. Oh, look at
Speaker 1: that he got carded off last week two. The Saints
Speaker 1: really could ask for a mulligan for all this. It's
Speaker 1: not that car faces a bad past defense, but still
Speaker 1: only one I N T ten t D s allowed
Speaker 1: point for rating given up eleven point seven yards per
Speaker 1: catch allowed the side of the field. Jamaar Chase look
Speaker 1: the catch and up the sideline and there he goes
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase to the end soon for the touchdown. Saints
Speaker 1: offense hurting just as bad every week they play the
Speaker 1: wait and see who's gonna play game. Jameis Winston Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas both missed Week seven. Andy Dalton filled in again
Speaker 1: through six t d passes, four of them to his
Speaker 1: own team to play actions for Golton looking to prodcast
Speaker 1: broad deep, he's looking for Seed. Seed will make the
Speaker 1: catch and he will score on the touchdown. You want
Speaker 1: to pass. If Dalton's game last week was a wine,
Speaker 1: you might smell it and think, ah, yes, vintage Jamis
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. I believe Dalton first down fires over the
Speaker 1: middle of the ball is tipped in the air and
Speaker 1: have picked off of the thirty yards line. The high
Speaker 1: steps and then doesn't flipped into the end shoe of
Speaker 1: the touchdown. Pargo Willson gonna pick six and the Cardinals
Speaker 1: pick the league. If Thomas is out again, check that
Speaker 1: even if he's in, give us Chris olav versus Rocky Scene.
Speaker 1: Lobby is the man in the Saints receiving room. Already
Speaker 1: average is eighty two yards a game, had a hundred
Speaker 1: and six last week. Snap to Hill, who throws down
Speaker 1: field over the middle, It's caught of the thirty yards
Speaker 1: line by a lobby. Another Big played Thrivy Year a
Speaker 1: gain of forty one yards. There is a butt about
Speaker 1: that game. Last week fourteen targets, seven receptions and one
Speaker 1: of Dalton's picks was on a throw to a Larvae.
Speaker 1: So all joking aside Thomas is needed. Don't straight drop
Speaker 1: back rows over the middle and one reception. Why you
Speaker 1: saying a citizens field dumps it back to the left
Speaker 1: of the corning Paso learning pen citizen return part tockdowns partners,
Speaker 1: You've seen just one of the best cornerbacks in the
Speaker 1: game in two thanks Indy holding Qubs to a sub
Speaker 1: sixty rating, only allowed fifty yards and change. Last week
Speaker 1: scores to the end zone deep like corner it's taught
Speaker 1: blight Chard in party's out about could not get the
Speaker 1: feet down with Rocky is seen right there. Need to
Speaker 1: throw a red flag. You should know the rest of
Speaker 1: vegas past defense hasn't fared as well as Silver and
Speaker 1: Black Adam Raiders haven't just allowed a high rating, they've
Speaker 1: given up the highest. They're the reverse of that tattoo
Speaker 1: artist in the commercial Vegas would out of this lane, bro,
Speaker 1: It's the same play they scored early on. It's a
Speaker 1: crossing route where the Raider defenders getting mixed up in
Speaker 1: one another. There's no reason why the tight end Achan
Speaker 1: should be that wide open in the pleat Holy Raiders
Speaker 1: also have to have a plan for Alvin Kimara. He's
Speaker 1: been playing his blue threat role to a t lately,
Speaker 1: six plus receptions in three straight games. Camara's back, Heather,
Speaker 1: they set up the screen for him. He's got a
Speaker 1: boy and he's a costmate. Fale space on the ground
Speaker 1: has hit at four point four a run or better
Speaker 1: in his last three The stretch run to the left
Speaker 1: Galfin Camara turns the corner. Five chuff got abounds as
Speaker 1: he approaches the fifty. Grant Gordon and Marcus Grant the
Speaker 1: only two Saints believers on our picks panel. Other eight
Speaker 1: went Vegas. It's a divisional match up this Sunday, when
Speaker 1: the one win Houston Texans take on the first place Titans,
Speaker 1: riding in on a four game win. Street Stiff harming
Speaker 1: his way all the way inside it's twenty five yard
Speaker 1: line and that should do it. Tennessee head coach Mike
Speaker 1: Vrabel called the way the Titans just won their most
Speaker 1: recent game the formula okay, sort of like that he
Speaker 1: said something like that, But the formula starts with Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry three straight one hundred yard rushing games, including last
Speaker 1: week against the Colts when he averaged more than four
Speaker 1: yards of pop during his one D twenty eight yards performance. Harry,
Speaker 1: the Texans will have their hands full containing King Henry.
Speaker 1: They're in the bottom five of the league against the run,
Speaker 1: allowing opposing backs to tote the rock to the tune
Speaker 1: of five plus yards per pop. Last week, Josh Jacobs
Speaker 1: averaged more than seven to carry to go with his
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. You know whatever he wants to this Houston
Speaker 1: Texans back seven who will be handing the rock off
Speaker 1: to Henry. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill was seen in a walking
Speaker 1: boot after the Colts game. Tannehill hasn't been ruled out though,
Speaker 1: and regardless of who it is, their passing game isn't
Speaker 1: expected to leave the way the average less than a
Speaker 1: hundred ninety yards a game. They just hope for the
Speaker 1: passes they make to be quality ones. Be a good
Speaker 1: game manager. Look at Houston has played the past well
Speaker 1: despite their one way status. Sub Radiating allowed more I
Speaker 1: n T s than tds allowed more reason for the
Speaker 1: Titans to feed Henry. His eyes are all the quarterback
Speaker 1: and that lets him come inside and break on that path.
Speaker 1: Teams have been able to gash the Texans on the
Speaker 1: ground in part because the Texans offense is so mediocre.
Speaker 1: There's no real risk of a shootout usually, so why
Speaker 1: not run the ball. Houston's offense is bottom ten and
Speaker 1: yardage same for passing yardage and rushing yardage, and they're
Speaker 1: only scoring about seventeen points a game. You see that
Speaker 1: first foot and yeah, the shin goes out of bounds
Speaker 1: before he's able to get that other foot down. To
Speaker 1: turn it around, they might need even more from Damien Pierce. Certainly,
Speaker 1: the struggles aren't his fault, as he's averaging nearly five
Speaker 1: yards a carry with the seventh most attempts in the league.
Speaker 1: He makes an impact in the run game. Titans against
Speaker 1: the run four point four a carry aloud. So there's
Speaker 1: an opening for the Texans Taylor. Taylor's first out right
Speaker 1: at the middle. Dragging defenders of Pierce can keep Tennessee
Speaker 1: on their heels. It might help quarterback Davis Mills in
Speaker 1: his sophomore season. He isn't lighting the world up. He
Speaker 1: hasn't been terrible, but he hasn't been great either, which
Speaker 1: is how you describe a week seven that terrible picker.
Speaker 1: But over three hundred yards point eight rating, he has
Speaker 1: plenty of flashes. And then Mills has the awareness to
Speaker 1: get outside and wait and wait. Wait. Titans passing defense
Speaker 1: body of work isn't great right now, but they just
Speaker 1: had a field day against the Colts and Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: two i n t S rating under eighty. He's going
Speaker 1: to go. This Titans defense is feeling good overall, forced
Speaker 1: three turnovers against the Colts, limiting them to ten points
Speaker 1: and sweeping the season series. There's the Texans better hope
Speaker 1: their offense can stay ahead of the chains, because when
Speaker 1: it comes to getting stops on third down, the Titans
Speaker 1: lead the league only about one and four third down
Speaker 1: plays against Tennessee result in a conversion. Head coach Mike
Speaker 1: Rabel's defensive mindset and they're due just enough to win.
Speaker 1: Approach has worked for the Titans as they sit in
Speaker 1: the driver's seat in the Division. Titans Texans received the
Speaker 1: chalk treatment no one believes in Houston, despite them giving
Speaker 1: the Titans trouble in both their games last year. The
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts are looking to get back into the wind column.
Speaker 1: To do it, they have to defeat the commanders from
Speaker 1: Washington this week, who may have themselves a little U
Speaker 1: B contro I assume that's QB controversy and grow ease
Speaker 1: that timing has been so much better since early in
Speaker 1: the game with Taylor Heineken. Throw the football. Sometimes when
Speaker 1: you crack a nice pulled Heineken after a rough stretch,
Speaker 1: everything gets better. Certainly was the case for Washington. They
Speaker 1: had to start Taylor heinecky last week. Numbers he put
Speaker 1: up not gonna blow anyone away, but coupled t d
Speaker 1: s and he did what was needed, which was give
Speaker 1: them a spark to the end zone. He's got him man,
Speaker 1: and Dick said he is in for the Tuxtown. Washington's
Speaker 1: passing attack didn't have rookie Johan Dotson last week. I
Speaker 1: hope he's back for this one. If he is, the
Speaker 1: Colts have three wide receivers to pay attention to instead
Speaker 1: of two. Washington's Curtis Samuel comes in off a fifty
Speaker 1: three yard game, very much in line with his season average.
Speaker 1: Came all the way out the back side of this one.
Speaker 1: Watch you've got three guys around him. They're all gonna converge.
Speaker 1: He plants and goes north and south. That just a
Speaker 1: little casual there on that tackle. Terry McLaurin the game
Speaker 1: breaker he scored last week seventy three yards now averaging
Speaker 1: sixty two per game. Sets up looking for Terry mcclarda
Speaker 1: against a cenda that touched out to Vanders take the lead.
Speaker 1: McClaren is going to see a lot of Stefan Gilmore
Speaker 1: in front of him. He's allowed a couple of tds
Speaker 1: this season, but Gilmore's rating against low eighties completion percentage
Speaker 1: allowed fifty eight point five. He's knocked down four passes
Speaker 1: intercepted by Gilboard intended for ageran Pina King company on
Speaker 1: the whole are looking at a defense that's allowed a
Speaker 1: mid nineties rating in two, allowing over sixty eight percent
Speaker 1: of passes to be completed. However, they played Ryan Tannehill's
Speaker 1: twenty attempts well in Week seven, just six point six
Speaker 1: yards per throw held him to a sub eighty five
Speaker 1: radio shut down the field. Gilboard is there and it's
Speaker 1: at about it's Gilboard at great coverage to Colts appeared
Speaker 1: to be in a spot to get help from its
Speaker 1: pass rush. They have a thirty point three pressure rate. Reminder,
Speaker 1: over thirty is the good stuff. Seventeen sacks and they
Speaker 1: don't blitz a lot. Heineke has to be worried about
Speaker 1: DeForrest Buckner. He's got three sacks Unike and Dockway has
Speaker 1: three and a half one last week pressure coming and
Speaker 1: he is sacks and that couple that with Washington's oh
Speaker 1: line prushure rate allowed over thirty. That's the bad stuff.
Speaker 1: Twenty four sacks taken. And if you wondered how much
Speaker 1: of it was whence Heineke's brush are rate faced close
Speaker 1: to forty stepping up in traffic. It is bad at
Speaker 1: down loose Paul into the hands of Bates, one of
Speaker 1: the keys to the Commander's upset win over Green Bay.
Speaker 1: Their run game used it thirty eight times a hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty six yards four point four a scamper Robinson.
Speaker 1: It's Samuel doing some blocking along the edge. You think
Speaker 1: of Antonio Gibson with a little bit of power, but
Speaker 1: then he's out there on that edge. That's a nice
Speaker 1: job out running. They give it to Curtis Samuel. They
Speaker 1: get the first down Poltz rush defense is holding teams
Speaker 1: to four point one yards per carry, so not an
Speaker 1: easy team to run on. The Colts are hoping all
Speaker 1: the talk after the game is about its own runner.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor was back last week. Looked good fifty eight
Speaker 1: yards five point eight or runs back to Taylor Taylor's
Speaker 1: first at right up the middle. Tracking defenders pitch count
Speaker 1: held him to ten carries, though caught plenty of passes.
Speaker 1: You'd think he'd be turned loose this week, not just
Speaker 1: because he should be even healthier, but because Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: is done for the year. Sam Ellinger will make his
Speaker 1: first start ever. He is a second year guy out
Speaker 1: of Texas hasn't even made one throw yet in the NFL,
Speaker 1: making matters more problematic. Last week, Ryan was sacked three times,
Speaker 1: and pressure to have the thirty four percent of the
Speaker 1: time that fits their season rate, which is thirty one
Speaker 1: point five percent, goes que up. The team with a
Speaker 1: pressure rate close to thirty five. Then Jonathan Allen drawn
Speaker 1: pain Montes sweat all with three plus sacks this season
Speaker 1: that he goes back at the thirty yard line. That
Speaker 1: group was very quiet against Aaron Rodgers though no sacks,
Speaker 1: meaning one QB hit. If that happens again, it increases
Speaker 1: the chances Ellinger can take advantage of Washington secondary rating
Speaker 1: allowed near one hundred fourteen tds given up two i
Speaker 1: n t s, gave up two tds to Rogers, no
Speaker 1: picks rating against just a hair under one hundred Rogers
Speaker 1: inside spenses Colts passing attack isn't just the Michael Pittman
Speaker 1: show anymore. Harris Campbell has become a much bigger part
Speaker 1: of their offense. Back to back games with double digit
Speaker 1: targets Week seven, twelve targets, ten catches, seventy yards and
Speaker 1: a score are step drop looks, left throws, left Cample touchdown.
Speaker 1: Camp Pittman averaging close to eighty yards per game. His
Speaker 1: latest outing a little under what he's used to. Six catches,
Speaker 1: five the eight guards versus the Titans, now looking ten minute,
Speaker 1: He's got it. Here's a good one. Five Washington picks,
Speaker 1: five Indie pics. Flip that coin. The NFC South is
Speaker 1: wide open after seven weeks. The Atlanta Falcons heading into
Speaker 1: Week eight coming off a loss. They take on the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, coming in off one of the most shocking
Speaker 1: wins of the year. Walker the snap fires out deal,
Speaker 1: Tommy Trouble's open. That's the catch, that's done. God's probably
Speaker 1: the best game with that all year. Who said anyone
Speaker 1: in Carolina was tanking? No CMC, no problem. Panthers rush
Speaker 1: attack in Week seven looked as good as it has
Speaker 1: all year. Twenty four carries between Cuba Hubbard and Deonta Foreman,
Speaker 1: seven plus yards per toe pants off form a right
Speaker 1: side quick hole. He's got the thirty we were a
Speaker 1: thross the forty quick fellas tuck twenty the biggest one
Speaker 1: of the season. Four. But each team's run game is
Speaker 1: going to be front and center in this game, which
Speaker 1: means their ability to stop the run will be too.
Speaker 1: Falcons have allowed four point three or run in two.
Speaker 1: That's kind of average. They like another showing like last
Speaker 1: week when they held Cincinnati to three point seven to
Speaker 1: carry guys run. Even in Atlanta's loss, they still relied
Speaker 1: on their run game, which has been the case in
Speaker 1: most of their games. Twenty nine runs last week just
Speaker 1: thirteen pass attempts. They weren't especially efficient either. They need
Speaker 1: to get cor Darrel Patterson back from his injury. He's
Speaker 1: averaging five point nine a run this season. He was
Speaker 1: close to a return last week to Daryl, but I
Speaker 1: need to touch that. Atlanta Panthers run defense is holding
Speaker 1: runners to four point one to carry in two. That's
Speaker 1: pretty good. Didn't get tested much versus Tampa Bay, but
Speaker 1: they didn't have any issues. But the few runs they
Speaker 1: faced held the Bucks to two point nine per the step.
Speaker 1: That's also right the port at they stopped letter FOURD
Speaker 1: at the Panthers. The that's rises to the occasion. If
Speaker 1: the Falcons get behind again, they may not have a
Speaker 1: choice but to throw more. Marcus Mariotta only through thirteen
Speaker 1: passes last week fourteen. The week before, tight end Kyle
Speaker 1: Pitts and rookie wide receiver Drake London eighteen combined yards
Speaker 1: in Week seven, quick throw right side chest made first
Speaker 1: of the day for London. The Atlanta Falcons offense is
Speaker 1: not constructed to come from behind like this, so you
Speaker 1: have a rarely used passing attack going up against the
Speaker 1: Panthers defense that just shut down Tom Brady and company
Speaker 1: doesn't mean what it used to, but held him to
Speaker 1: a low eighties rating. Have held QBS to a sub
Speaker 1: ninety rating for the season. Held Brady to five point
Speaker 1: nine a throw have held qbs to under seven yards
Speaker 1: per attempt for two. They're more than holding their own
Speaker 1: against quarterbacks so far. Puts the back of the pocket,
Speaker 1: but he's done trouble and he goes down the safety
Speaker 1: blitz from the left side and Jankis said no Jacks.
Speaker 1: Falcons defense can't say the same, So maybe some more
Speaker 1: PJ magic for the Panthers. Carolina got its best two
Speaker 1: QB showing from Walker sixteen of twenty two eight yards
Speaker 1: per attempt to TDS rating over one five. Walker, rolling
Speaker 1: to his right, throws on the run and fires a
Speaker 1: strike to t J for a first down. Atlanta secondary
Speaker 1: gave up four hundred and eighty one yards passing to
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow last week gave up eleven point five an
Speaker 1: attempt a hundred and thirty eight point to rating aloud.
Speaker 1: Their dB room has been decimated by injuries, so opportunity
Speaker 1: maybe knocking for Walker now. Burrow throws towards the left
Speaker 1: side fact shoulders and they choose up Chase's on successful.
Speaker 1: Whoever they trot out, they should pay special attention to
Speaker 1: d J. Moore. He's been playing Casper the Ghost most weeks.
Speaker 1: Walker made a materialize on ten targets. He caught seven
Speaker 1: of them just under seventy yards and a score more
Speaker 1: his dairy bakes the cut tousto out just two votes
Speaker 1: for p J Walker taking this one, Colleen Wolf and
Speaker 1: Nick Shook The other eight went Falcons. Heading into Halloween
Speaker 1: weekend for Week eight of the NFL season, and you
Speaker 1: can forgive Cowboys and Bears fans for trying to decide
Speaker 1: if their team is the trick or the treat. Here's
Speaker 1: one floated for slow Pecks breast the rookie. The Bears
Speaker 1: last week looking like they could beat anyone in the
Speaker 1: league after looking like they were done for a week earlier.
Speaker 1: For Dallas, look no further than their game against the Lions.
Speaker 1: In the first half, nothing but trick their offense, scoring
Speaker 1: only three points in the return of the Dad. There's
Speaker 1: that in the pockety slammed down in the second half,
Speaker 1: all Tree twenty one unanswered points and five turnovers in
Speaker 1: a route to a six victory that by their all
Speaker 1: the receiver it's twop has balance till they a lot
Speaker 1: of grab your goodie bags were breaking down the matchup.
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's return turned to the starting lineup was much
Speaker 1: hyped for Dallas, though it took a while for him
Speaker 1: to get going, but by the time things were over
Speaker 1: rating over one nine eight point three per throw no
Speaker 1: I and t S one t D, and he had
Speaker 1: success connecting with his key pass catchers. That is reception
Speaker 1: by c Line completed on the near side and that
Speaker 1: Stella part first got me looking who he drops it
Speaker 1: right in there, Ary Schultz. The game's final score doesn't
Speaker 1: indicate how close things were, especially in the first half, though,
Speaker 1: but his return is supposed to ultimately correct a bottom
Speaker 1: five offense that's struggled to find rhythm that may not
Speaker 1: be as easy as it seems. Versus Chicago, they have
Speaker 1: made things tough on qbs, and not just one's named
Speaker 1: Bailey and Mac though they took care of Jones and Zappy,
Speaker 1: picking them off three times. Zappy passes in the air
Speaker 1: and intercepted by Smith cornerback's Kindle Willdor, Kyle Gordon and
Speaker 1: safet east to Kawan Brisker and Eddie Jackson. Ratings against
Speaker 1: all under ninety. Chicago with the fifth lowest rating allowed
Speaker 1: five TVs against eight ion t This kind of the
Speaker 1: intersect by the rookie Gordon, Kyler Gordon one thing Indack's favor,
Speaker 1: though Bears with only one sack against New England twelve
Speaker 1: for the season, They've been struggling with pressure up front,
Speaker 1: passes caught somehow by the rookie Forton. Dallas's O line
Speaker 1: may also have the advantage when it comes to the
Speaker 1: run game. Bears rushed defense has given up four point
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry on the year, their thirty yards
Speaker 1: per game. A last just gonna run for it, get
Speaker 1: it first, Tony Pollard. He did Tony Pollard things against
Speaker 1: Detroy eighty three yards on only twelve carries, almost seven
Speaker 1: yards perk had a second, yarrd a second and though
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott didn't light up the Lions, you saw some
Speaker 1: first two touchdowns and even a Zeke lead a sick
Speaker 1: Rex went out to the linebacker Ropekuan Smith leads to
Speaker 1: the Chicago defense and tackle, so if he can shed
Speaker 1: defenders and make enough plays near the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: Dallas could end up playing behind the sticks, which is
Speaker 1: not what they want. Is brought down rock Kuan Smith.
Speaker 1: Dallas on third down conversion rate of thirty two point
Speaker 1: two percent, one of the worst in the league. One
Speaker 1: Elliott is six or six to show third and life compressions. Yes,
Speaker 1: the first time he's been stopped. Rushing effectiveness, though, ultimately
Speaker 1: is more important to the Bears. If they can come
Speaker 1: close to replicating what they did against New England, the
Speaker 1: rest of the year could be very dangerous for other teams.
Speaker 1: Three different guys going for sixty plus toting the rock.
Speaker 1: It was an avalanche of rush yards. Hey little pick
Speaker 1: his way through, takes off first style. Herbert gives them
Speaker 1: a little something and I like him. He's a solid player.
Speaker 1: They're down in one, Montgomery picks it up still Lumba.
Speaker 1: Dallas is not as generous to runners as Chicago, but
Speaker 1: four point four yards per carry aloud isn't great. He's
Speaker 1: gonna get He's got a whole lot more motivation for
Speaker 1: Chicago to keep things on the ground as much as possible.
Speaker 1: Dallas's pass, rush and fields propensity to smell the grass.
Speaker 1: No team has given up as many sacks as the Bear.
Speaker 1: The Dowdy goes ball comes out. Couple that with number
Speaker 1: eleven on the Cowboys. Micah Parsons is having an all
Speaker 1: world season, averaging sack a game and tied for second
Speaker 1: in the league with seven and it feels like he
Speaker 1: should have almost double that note He's just always around.
Speaker 1: It feels like attack. This guy is just different. It's
Speaker 1: not just Parsons Fields has to worry about either. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys lead the league in sacks by a wide margin.
Speaker 1: They've got twenty nine, the next closest team as twenty four,
Speaker 1: and with seven interceptions by the defense, Trayvon Diggs and
Speaker 1: company are making life hard on the back end. He
Speaker 1: knew it was his ball. Sub been overcame him and
Speaker 1: you could just tell by his body language. The Bears
Speaker 1: passing attack isn't their bread and butter. If the running
Speaker 1: game is coming, they just need Fields to make a
Speaker 1: few nice throws down feel to keep the defense honest,
Speaker 1: just like he did last week. Sols to the sideline.
Speaker 1: He's got a receiver movie, He's got a first out.
Speaker 1: Nine Cowboys believers on our panel, the lone Bears believer
Speaker 1: Big Shock Adam Rank. The Denver Broncos fly east this week,
Speaker 1: like really east, off to London, where they're headed to
Speaker 1: take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at their home away from home.
Speaker 1: The Brits already know Trevor Lawrence, but this year they'll
Speaker 1: be introduced to running back Travis E. T N, who
Speaker 1: is in a good spot to start in his first
Speaker 1: European vacations Carter. He's Travis E. T M. E t
Speaker 1: N has taken over as the top back in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Ten plus carries three games in a row, seventy one
Speaker 1: yards in week five, eighty six yards in week six,
Speaker 1: both ten off games. Then he gets fourteen carries last
Speaker 1: week a hundred and fourteen yards and a t d
Speaker 1: R talks to eat a merry goes Jack's touchdown his
Speaker 1: first touchdown this season, man of his career. Now, check
Speaker 1: out the defensive faces the Broncos against the run. In
Speaker 1: two four point seven yards per carry allowed. Jets ran
Speaker 1: on them twenty four times last week, Denver gave up
Speaker 1: six point five apops sixty two yards for the touchdown.
Speaker 1: Broncos defense is under a lot of pressure to keep
Speaker 1: Jacksonville off the scoreboard. Orange Crush faithful have to hope
Speaker 1: they haven't been watching Deuce Bigelow Mail Jiggolo and are
Speaker 1: now about to have to watch Deuce Bigelow European Jiggolow.
Speaker 1: Sorry to say it could happen based on recent trends
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's secondary has been locking things up. Denver's passing attack
Speaker 1: pretty anemic. The good news is Russell Wilson looks like
Speaker 1: he's ready to return from his injury. The bad news
Speaker 1: he's still in the middle of his worst season ever,
Speaker 1: his rating in the low eighties, over ten points lower
Speaker 1: than his career low. The secondary he faces this week,
Speaker 1: cornerbacks Darius Williams and Tyson Campbell, both have sub eight
Speaker 1: ratings against. Team as a whole has played the pass
Speaker 1: well under seven yards her attempt allowed, seven I N
Speaker 1: T s sub eight five rating against Tyson Campbell came
Speaker 1: over and got a hand on it. Denver secondary is
Speaker 1: even harder to pass on. Spaccoli better have his shirt
Speaker 1: and shoes handy or no dice. Broncos are holding qbs
Speaker 1: to a sub seventy five rating, a measly five point
Speaker 1: five yards per attempt, only three t d s allowed
Speaker 1: through the air, four I N T s. Cornerback Patrick's
Speaker 1: or Tan already established as one of the elite in
Speaker 1: the game. Adams at again, My goodness, and he's been perfect. Lawrence,
Speaker 1: He's coming off a subpar outing. Wouldn't have been if
Speaker 1: they would have gained one more yard on that last
Speaker 1: path to play roll god Pot by Christian Kirk. But
Speaker 1: there's not all time. Lawrence did throw for three ten yards,
Speaker 1: just took forty three passes to get there. On the
Speaker 1: plus side, forty three throws no I N T s.
Speaker 1: He's sitting on a nine to four t D to
Speaker 1: I n T ratio rating a little under ninety. He's
Speaker 1: not there yet, but he's not where he was either
Speaker 1: to throw across midfield. It's at the forty seven drop,
Speaker 1: making it even harder this week. Denver's pass rush thirty
Speaker 1: point nine. Pressure rate over thirty is great. Twenty two sacks.
Speaker 1: Dreymond Jones has four and a half, Bradley Chubb five
Speaker 1: and a half. Will they come, Come d Jones? Three
Speaker 1: believers in dangerous d j Colleen Wolf, Grant Gordon, The
Speaker 1: other seven pickers went Jags. The Detroit Lions are at
Speaker 1: home for Week eight, taking on the Miami Dolphins. Very
Speaker 1: happy and fortunate to be over five again and Mike
Speaker 1: McDaniel in the Dolphins are gonna get a fourth one
Speaker 1: here on the season. A win is a win, no
Speaker 1: matter how you get it. Dolphins flexed some secondary muscles
Speaker 1: to get their most recent W and could do so
Speaker 1: again this week based on how Jared Goff has been looking.
Speaker 1: Goff didn't throw any touchdowns versus Dallas two I N teens.
Speaker 1: The bye didn't help. I guess he was zero T
Speaker 1: d s and one I N T going into their
Speaker 1: break too. It is intercepted picked off inside the five
Speaker 1: yard line by the Patriot. Now he faces a Dolphin's
Speaker 1: defense that's not only coming off a game ceiling pick,
Speaker 1: but a three I N T outing holding Kenny Pickett
Speaker 1: to a sixty six point two rating picking second and
Speaker 1: the sixty to Von Holland took it away. If you
Speaker 1: go bigger picture, the matchup looks different. Then it's a
Speaker 1: QB with eleven touchdowns and ninety point six rating. Go
Speaker 1: let's go against the past defense that's given up a
Speaker 1: rating near one hundred and allowing qbs to complete close
Speaker 1: to seventy of their passes and God to Lions secondary
Speaker 1: is like, hey, they live in the same neighborhood as
Speaker 1: us rating alloud over a hundred high sixties completion percentage
Speaker 1: allowed along with eight yards per attempt given up. God
Speaker 1: we fight though man faced Dak Prescott last week. Rating
Speaker 1: allowed one thirteen point to eight point three per throw
Speaker 1: and throws either on land a perfect throw and tell
Speaker 1: you it's twenty three to A. Wants to know if
Speaker 1: Detroit's dbs have good hands. Tongue by Lola got away
Speaker 1: with a few in his return from his comcussion. They
Speaker 1: were fortunate to prevail till it's really ever sucker. Maybe
Speaker 1: it was like golf. He missed some games. Wasn't his fault?
Speaker 1: So that tree will kick your ball into the fairway
Speaker 1: this time to even it up in the end. Two
Speaker 1: or three for over two hundred and sixty yards no
Speaker 1: I N T S one t D rating over ninety
Speaker 1: head didn't get bounced, so not battle things considered. Sills
Speaker 1: were right over water. Is it's still a territory at
Speaker 1: the thirty five yard line? The two of the Jalen
Speaker 1: Wattle line seemed fine. Wattle targeted five times, top four
Speaker 1: of them for eighty eight yards, but he still needs
Speaker 1: to get back on the same page with Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: seventy two yards and seven receptions thirteen targets only ten
Speaker 1: point three yards per catch. Aiden Hutchinson might be able
Speaker 1: to make an impact. He had that three sack game
Speaker 1: in Week two and then went silent until last week
Speaker 1: when he picked up a sack and a half haiden.
Speaker 1: Hudson sint got it. Miami running back Whehe Moster seems
Speaker 1: well positioned to have a big game. Detroy is an
Speaker 1: equal opportunity defense. They are just as generous to runners
Speaker 1: as receivers. Five point three a carry allowed for two
Speaker 1: cuts out Seahawks wish Petty. Moster has a nice four
Speaker 1: point five yard per carry average for the year, hit
Speaker 1: at four point nine last week. Seventy nine yards that
Speaker 1: week was that we gave it that. You'd think this
Speaker 1: would be an all favorites game, but Colleen Wolfe goes
Speaker 1: Detroit again. She was the only Lions lover last week.
Speaker 1: Two other nine on our picks panel sided with Miami.
Speaker 1: The New England Patriots are on the road, not a
Speaker 1: long track. They take on the New York Jets, the
Speaker 1: five and two j E T s Phil and that
Speaker 1: will do it. The Jets sprout into this matchup with
Speaker 1: a defense that can win a game on its own,
Speaker 1: could say they just did that last week. Offense doesn't
Speaker 1: have to do much when you hold a team to
Speaker 1: nine points. The Jets holding teams to nineteen points six
Speaker 1: points per game, eleven turnovers seven games. I think the
Speaker 1: Jets got it. Pats passing the tap matched against passing
Speaker 1: defensive elite. Won't even go through how they handled Brett
Speaker 1: Ribbon season numbers rating under eighty six point four yards
Speaker 1: per attempt allowed eight I n T s E. J.
Speaker 1: Reid Sauce Gardner in the argument for best cornerback, duo
Speaker 1: jeep down the sideline intercepted, great catch by d J. Reid.
Speaker 1: Jets secondary and Jets front have been working in harmony.
Speaker 1: Jets pass rush has been cooking two pressure rate, only
Speaker 1: blitzing sevent percent of dropbacks. When in Williams the lead
Speaker 1: man with five bags, Lodger a trouble kid. Eddy sacked
Speaker 1: again by Quinny Williams. What a place? Who will all
Speaker 1: those cats be facing this week? Mac Jones started last week,
Speaker 1: gets benched after a pick. Here's one floated per It's
Speaker 1: picked fresker. The rook Bill claimed it was the plan
Speaker 1: all along to start both he and Bailey Zappy Zappy
Speaker 1: came on and gave them a huge spark, spreading rap
Speaker 1: by Myers touched up. It was just a spark, though
Speaker 1: offense didn't catch fire. Neither did he through two I
Speaker 1: N T s before the game was over? Zappy passes
Speaker 1: in the air hattercepted by Smith. We all know Belichick
Speaker 1: he probably won't name a starter this week and tell
Speaker 1: the second quarter of this game. New England's offense always
Speaker 1: uses its backs. They had a quiet game and they're
Speaker 1: lost to the Bears. Things won't be easier this week either.
Speaker 1: New York's defense as complete as there is, allowing just
Speaker 1: three point nine a row another till this time the
Speaker 1: Chets were ready. Boone gets wrapped up quickly. So that
Speaker 1: brings us to New York's backfield, which has been central
Speaker 1: to their success, facing a New England defense that has
Speaker 1: not handled run games. Well. Not a Jets fan at all,
Speaker 1: but I was so bummed when I heard about Hall.
Speaker 1: Here's the shot you were talking about. The tackle there
Speaker 1: looked like Curtan number two helmet going into the side
Speaker 1: of preestaw. Then I was stoked when I heard about
Speaker 1: James Robinson averaging four point to this year. Jack's really
Speaker 1: like Travis Etian. Robinson is good though, four point five
Speaker 1: a carry as a rookie, four point seven as a
Speaker 1: sophomore for Jackson wille That bitch James Rock closing certain touched.
Speaker 1: New England is coming in off a game that saw
Speaker 1: them get trucked along the ground. They were obliterated by
Speaker 1: Chicago's Russian attack, and while theirs might not be traditional,
Speaker 1: you don't want to give up sixty plus rush yards
Speaker 1: to three different players. New England's play against the run
Speaker 1: has been less than stellar all year. Hey, little pick
Speaker 1: your way through takes off first off. If there is
Speaker 1: a drop off in the Green's ability to pound the ground,
Speaker 1: pressure on the passing game to step up goes on.
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson and company have been tagging along relatively speaking,
Speaker 1: Wilson averaging just a hundred and seventy three yards per game,
Speaker 1: rating low seventies under seven yards per attempt, completion rate
Speaker 1: under sixty third first series of the day, Wilson again
Speaker 1: very high on that past Jets have allowed seventeen sacks
Speaker 1: this season. Pressure rate allowed close to thirty. Not good ticket.
Speaker 1: Wilson gets out of trouble buzz time. Another spin against
Speaker 1: the grant and he's tried to do too much. Gives
Speaker 1: it up so que. The NFL sack leader Matthew jude
Speaker 1: On with two and a half sacks last week, bringing
Speaker 1: his total for the year to eight and a half,
Speaker 1: and the downy does ball comes out the lot of bottles.
Speaker 1: The Patriots appear to have the advantage if they can
Speaker 1: force Wilson to throw a lot their second there. He
Speaker 1: has also posted strong digits against quarterbacks in pretty much
Speaker 1: every metric that pass his test and picked an accepted
Speaker 1: by malls clients. Seems like a tricky game to predict,
Speaker 1: You're right. Our ten predictors split evenly five to five
Speaker 1: on this one. Nothing to see here, people, Just the
Speaker 1: six and one New York Giants flying to the Northwest.
Speaker 1: After pulling the tackle two point oh fires it to
Speaker 1: the ends of It's possible love one month, standing up,
Speaker 1: He's howl and the pot is over. They take on
Speaker 1: the NFC West first place Geno Smith's Seattle Seahawks. Smith
Speaker 1: looking for good one and a shutout for the touchdown.
Speaker 1: The Geno saga just keeps getting better. He's now led
Speaker 1: the Hawks in the first place after seven games. The
Speaker 1: Giants are dealing with a QB completing over seventy of
Speaker 1: his passes, has a rating close to one ten eleven touchdowns,
Speaker 1: just three I N T s, two t V passes,
Speaker 1: last week, another hundred plus rating game. That's a first down.
Speaker 1: Keep kidding, thing you know is feeling it. New York
Speaker 1: dbs can't just hyper focus on Tyler Lockett DK metcalf.
Speaker 1: DK only had twelve yards in Week seven. He got hurt,
Speaker 1: so he's on the track list. Even so, He's only
Speaker 1: had sixty five yards in a game twice this season,
Speaker 1: and despite lock It catching seven of his eight targets
Speaker 1: versus the Chargers, he only managed forty five yards. No matter,
Speaker 1: Geno turned to Marquees Goodwin for two t d s.
Speaker 1: That's a sign when the QB doesn't need star receivers
Speaker 1: to be a star himself looking for good ones, hands
Speaker 1: on a little tall tap of the corner for the touchdown.
Speaker 1: So what Smith looking at with the Giants. They're rating
Speaker 1: allowed on the year under ninety, under seven yards per
Speaker 1: attempt allowed, completion percentage allowed under sixty. Gave up a
Speaker 1: lot of yards to Trevor Lawrence in their win last week,
Speaker 1: but no tds allowed held Lawrence to amid seventies rating.
Speaker 1: Good job, put your body on my boat. Guys doing
Speaker 1: some hand fighting right there. That's just I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's just great football. Their run defense will matter as
Speaker 1: much or more in this game. Kenneth Walker just keeps
Speaker 1: getting better. Eighty eight yards when he came in for
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny followed it with seven, then a hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty eight versus the Chargers to t ds seven point
Speaker 1: three a run hit another moon shot Walker down the sideline.
Speaker 1: All he's got the speed walker chugging down the sideline
Speaker 1: seventy four yards. Well, no way he can keep that
Speaker 1: game by game trend up right. Check that New York
Speaker 1: giving up the highest yard per carry figure in the
Speaker 1: NFL at five point seven per allowed Travis Eaton to
Speaker 1: hit at eight point one. O pop in their woe.
Speaker 1: He turns a quarters us. Someone's run defense better step
Speaker 1: up or this could become the running of the Bulls.
Speaker 1: Giants offense is built to toe. Seahawks have to try
Speaker 1: and stop sa kwond Barkley another hundred plus yard game
Speaker 1: last week averages over a hundred per game on the year.
Speaker 1: Over five yards a run. That's what you get, poor Worthy.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what. He's putting people in the spin
Speaker 1: cycle right now. Barkley sets up play action and DJ
Speaker 1: ground action. Daniel Jones also comes in off a hundred
Speaker 1: plus rush game, a hundred and seven yards for him
Speaker 1: last week nine point seven per the two of them.
Speaker 1: The reason the Giants have been so difficult to topple.
Speaker 1: They wear you down run by run. Just keep that
Speaker 1: runner or Jones does. And I'll tell you what's so
Speaker 1: to Giants run defense is porus. We'll check this out.
Speaker 1: Seattle is giving up a hair under five a carry.
Speaker 1: This could be some serious nineteen twenties ground and pound action.
Speaker 1: We get treated to lunch the touchdown. Jones, the passer
Speaker 1: is always New York's X factor. He's only had one
Speaker 1: really ugly game with his arm this season. What they
Speaker 1: hope to get from him this week, much like last week,
Speaker 1: a nine four rating because No I in t s
Speaker 1: he's only thrown to this season, isn't fumbling like he
Speaker 1: used to. He keeps them in it going deep, Daniel Jones,
Speaker 1: Did he catch it? Darius slap as a giant touchdown.
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense is one that Jones could find some success
Speaker 1: against mid nineties rating aloud in seven games close to
Speaker 1: eight yards per attempt allowed. But they played justin Herbert
Speaker 1: Well just five points seven yards per throw to him,
Speaker 1: and they faced fifty one passes picked him off and
Speaker 1: held him to a sub ninety rating, but the meddles
Speaker 1: and accepted Brian. The predictions for this game split down
Speaker 1: the middle, as they should be five for each. The
Speaker 1: battle for Pennsylvania is upon us. The Pittsburgh Steelers hopping
Speaker 1: on Lincoln Highway, the unbeaten and rested Philadelphia Eagles waiting
Speaker 1: to unleash their best in the NFL secondary on Pittsburgh's
Speaker 1: rookie signal callers second five. Everything's going right right now.
Speaker 1: Let's look at what Kenny Pickett faces this week. A
Speaker 1: group that's held qbs to a sixty six rating, just
Speaker 1: five point five yards per attempt, completion percentage allowed, under
Speaker 1: sixty seven touchdowns against nine I N T S C. J.
Speaker 1: Partner Johnson. Their three starting corners, Chauncey Gardner, Johnson, James Bradberry,
Speaker 1: and Darius Slay, all holding qbs to sub ninety ratings.
Speaker 1: Bradbury and Slagh playing on another planet. Their ratings allowed
Speaker 1: low thirties, absurd. These two cornerbacks, James Bradberry Darius a
Speaker 1: dominated play and they are the difference. So now that
Speaker 1: group takes on a QB who just threw three i
Speaker 1: n T s last week, has seven in his four games,
Speaker 1: has the lowest passer rating in the NFL try a
Speaker 1: farce again. Still, Pickett has had stretches that show his potential.
Speaker 1: He was thirty two for forty four for two and
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards last week and was making good throws
Speaker 1: to get them close. Just has to learn to finish
Speaker 1: Picket and so shut it's caught up, Yes, touched out.
Speaker 1: Picket is not only dealing with a dominant secondary, he
Speaker 1: has to try and complete passes while being hounded by
Speaker 1: a pass rush, racking up those to three sacks of
Speaker 1: game five players with two or more lost Again. The
Speaker 1: fifth takeaway for Philadelphia in this game makes it all
Speaker 1: seem like it's time to really put nause Harris on display.
Speaker 1: Steelers and theory could move the ball against Philly along
Speaker 1: the ground successfully. Rush defense is or blind spot. So
Speaker 1: far five yards per carry alloud in five yards per
Speaker 1: carry ALLOUD is pretty bad. So what's the in theory
Speaker 1: for Harris? Sixty five yards versus Miami three point eight
Speaker 1: per run is high this season four point one to carry.
Speaker 1: He's been three point eight or lower in the rest
Speaker 1: of his games. Harris versus Philadelphia's Rundee major X factor
Speaker 1: matchup quickly, so it seems like the Steelers defense has
Speaker 1: pressure to keep things close again this week. They did
Speaker 1: that last week, only one t D allowed. I know
Speaker 1: though all those missed I N t s, they do
Speaker 1: not win this game. We're gonna go back and look
Speaker 1: at easy interceptions that were dropped. Their past defense in
Speaker 1: two is solid. Eight interceptions should have been more sub
Speaker 1: ninety rating allowed, completion percentage allowed in the low sixties.
Speaker 1: This is Cameron and they've been solid against runners to
Speaker 1: just four point one to carry given up on the
Speaker 1: ground inside gets stopped. That brings us to the Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts Miles Sanders duo. The Eagles offense still very much
Speaker 1: run dominant ten tds combined for those gents close to
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty yards a game from the duo
Speaker 1: to the ends out touch Stoff, Hurts and the big
Speaker 1: three pass catchers may not pass often, but when they
Speaker 1: do it's Doseks or trace aches actually a J Brown,
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith and Dallas Goddard. That trio is a big
Speaker 1: part of why Philadelphia is one of the few averaging
Speaker 1: over twelve yards per catch, why they're part of an
Speaker 1: even smaller group of teams averaging over eight yards per
Speaker 1: attempt two hundred and thirty eight yard passing yards per game.
Speaker 1: When you're near the bottom and attempts, that's good stuff.
Speaker 1: Stop star green chalk all around. Entire ten person panel
Speaker 1: predicts a seven and o Eagles team. When it's over
Speaker 1: the l a Rams are at home for week eight.
Speaker 1: After their week off, they get their foes from the North,
Speaker 1: who are ready to fully unleash their newest toy, first Terry.
Speaker 1: It's a two. McCaffery has the first sit out of
Speaker 1: this crowd is feeling it. Christian McCaffrey made his forty
Speaker 1: Niners debut on the loss, but we now get to
Speaker 1: see how he's really going to be used in their offense.
Speaker 1: He caught two passes for twenty four yards versus Kansas
Speaker 1: City had eight carries thirty eight yards four point eight
Speaker 1: or run. Not bad for jumping in at the last
Speaker 1: second Bolo first pass to Christian McCaffrey. A McCaffrey turns
Speaker 1: on the Jeff that he's got a first out, first
Speaker 1: time ketching a pass has a forty night. The Rams
Speaker 1: should still expect to see some Jeff Wilson along the
Speaker 1: ground to seven runs last week seven point seven per
Speaker 1: Here's a stretch run to Jeff wils who doing You're
Speaker 1: a cutback. Good run. ROXA teco all the way to
Speaker 1: midfield with another forty niner first down. LA and San
Speaker 1: Francisco faced each other about a month ago, and it
Speaker 1: was Wilson who was playing a significant role in that win.
Speaker 1: Scored on a long run nine ers, one to nine.
Speaker 1: The biggest factor in that win, though, was their pass rush.
Speaker 1: They sacked Matthew Stafford seven times. In turn, he didn't
Speaker 1: throw any TV passes, got picked off once. Says. Pass
Speaker 1: protection has been at the heart of l a's offensive issues.
Speaker 1: Seems like every game a new lineman gets hurt. Stafford
Speaker 1: has been sacked over three times per game, faced pressure
Speaker 1: on a fat thirty three point nine percent of his dropbacks.
Speaker 1: Staff for more pressure. Parsons sack fumble, let's loose the
Speaker 1: fifth sack of the day for Dallas, and they've got it.
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa has sacked Stafford twice. Nick Bosa has seven
Speaker 1: on the season. He leads the league. Nick Bosa has
Speaker 1: helped San Francisco generate a QB pressure rate over the
Speaker 1: golden thirty line. Nick Bosa is going to be a
Speaker 1: problem for Staffords. Up brack through the middle, throw stop
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. All the pressure Stafford has been facing hasn't
Speaker 1: been good to him. Hit his off week with six
Speaker 1: T d s, eight I and T s rating under
Speaker 1: eighty five. Stafford to the air and it's intercepted. Pick
Speaker 1: six for twenty six. Matthew Staffords eight shot to cut
Speaker 1: that ball loose? Can The forty Niners survived death by
Speaker 1: a thousand paper Cups. Cooper thrown to twenty two more
Speaker 1: times than anyone else on the team, over one hundred
Speaker 1: yards per games two by Cooper, cop who came into
Speaker 1: this game with as many receptions as the entire Chicago
Speaker 1: Fairs team. Cup, though, is averaging three yards less per
Speaker 1: catch than last year. Cups outing versus San Francisco with
Speaker 1: symbolic a hundred and twenty two yards fourteen receptions but
Speaker 1: only eight yards per reception, and he's got the first down.
Speaker 1: Chemistry Stafford haulous, He's already familiar with San Francisco go
Speaker 1: cornerback to various award. He's coming off his worst two
Speaker 1: outing a hundred and twenty two yards allowed last week
Speaker 1: nine targets, seven receptions allowed. That was his first real dud,
Speaker 1: though his rating allowed after that game low sixties still
Speaker 1: broke it up. Chart Various Ward holds up once again
Speaker 1: in coverage. He came to be the quarterback for San Francisco.
Speaker 1: He's flipping up to that title awards game and sich
Speaker 1: like the team's overall Sich. They've played the past well
Speaker 1: in the big picture, but the injuries caught up to
Speaker 1: them last week against some homes. Four hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: three yards allowed, over twelve yards per attempt allowed, rating allowed,
Speaker 1: over one thirty three touchdown passes. Holmes right down to
Speaker 1: fail God Scaly wide open. He beat chair Various Ward
Speaker 1: over the top, Various Ward trying to play catch up
Speaker 1: that wasn't even close. Niner's ability to cover tight ends
Speaker 1: will come into play. Tyler Higbee is easily Stafford's number two,
Speaker 1: close to six receptions per game, close to fifty yards
Speaker 1: per game. Pick me bounces off a cowboy pick it
Speaker 1: three outside and he gets the forty yard line with
Speaker 1: a new set it out. That's just a great tough
Speaker 1: play by Teller. Forty Niners passing attack Now, Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 1: didn't be the Chiefs, didn't have a bad stat line,
Speaker 1: didn't play great. That all makes sense. He had solid
Speaker 1: stats in Week seven, has them for the year, but
Speaker 1: it's when and where some of those misses take place
Speaker 1: that holds them back. At times, pressure throws high, intercept
Speaker 1: it on the line. That is a bad throw from
Speaker 1: Garoppolo and a bad decision to throw it over there.
Speaker 1: There was a hope that CMC is going to open
Speaker 1: things up for Debo too. Samuel has only gone over
Speaker 1: eighty receiving yards once this year, last week forty two.
Speaker 1: He hasn't been as impactful as he was in Garoo
Speaker 1: with a straight trap rows behind Gebo Samuel. The quarterbacks
Speaker 1: got to deliver the mail, and he's got to deliver
Speaker 1: it accurately. His biggest game was versus l A. He
Speaker 1: had one of his signature plays, a play that Jalen
Speaker 1: Ramsey didn't travel for. He will stick Deebo plenty this round.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Ramsey has held QBS to a fifty seven
Speaker 1: point six rating from weeks two through six. Completion percentage
Speaker 1: allowed in that time fifty three point three rams past
Speaker 1: defense as a whole at their break sub ninety rating
Speaker 1: allowed under two hundred yards per game, allowed six touchdowns
Speaker 1: five I n T s curry over the middle and
Speaker 1: Ramsey breaks it up. Is one life has broken up
Speaker 1: Jerryon Tedrick with he's got a friend of number nineteen.
Speaker 1: Garoppolo has Brandon Ayouk and George Kittle at his disposal
Speaker 1: as well. Kittle's starting to heat up six catches ninety
Speaker 1: eight yards and a touchdown on a special daydown Cisco
Speaker 1: National Tight End Day. George Kittle is in the end zone.
Speaker 1: He's become more prominent in their passing attack with each
Speaker 1: passing week, and so is Brandon Ayouk. Eleven targets last
Speaker 1: week over eighty yards. Garofolo, I you kids ride first out,
Speaker 1: good grow Garoppolo, and I did the rest to pick
Speaker 1: up twenty one. Always harder to find receivers if you
Speaker 1: got heat in your face. Aaron Donald, He's come home
Speaker 1: from his shopping trips with four bags so far. In
Speaker 1: two doubt Pressure Don Dono hols Loose Pleasure. Only two
Speaker 1: pickers picked the Rams in this game, Grant Gordon and
Speaker 1: m J D. Eight votes went San Francisco's way.
