Speaker 2: apologies for not being here on Tuesday. We had a
Speaker 2: last minute trip to Los Angeles. The whole show did
Speaker 2: to speak at the Fox Sports town Hall, which was
Speaker 2: an awesome event. I'm really glad I ended up going,
Speaker 2: and then everyone a lot of other people flew out
Speaker 2: right after the show. I couldn't because I had something
Speaker 2: to do with Colin Cowherd for Has Heard for the
Speaker 2: Holidays special, and then right after that the Prince was playing,
Speaker 2: and my goodness was that almost a traumatic experience watching
Speaker 2: the Prince. It looked like break his leg, but turns
Speaker 2: out he's okay. So I didn't get back to New
Speaker 2: York till about lanted at JFK, like around nine thirty
Speaker 2: in the morning on Tuesday. So there's no way to
Speaker 2: do the show. But man, oh man, do we have
Speaker 2: a lot to catch you up on. First, let's get
Speaker 2: to what missed the cut in today's show. Not in
Speaker 2: today's show is the thing I just mentioned, the Prince
Speaker 2: suffering a high ankle sprain, Luca dropping a forty point
Speaker 2: triple double, and Times Person of the Year Taylor Swift
Speaker 2: saying football is awesome. What is in the show today is,
Speaker 2: of course Demanse Demonse. Great to see you. This was
Speaker 2: one of the good things about going to Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: You and I got some good quality time together hung
Speaker 2: out on Sunday watching football. We'll discuss those circumstances in
Speaker 2: a moment. Went to a nice early dinner on Monday.
Speaker 2: The West Coast time throws me off me and I
Speaker 2: was like tired every day. Look, it was four thirty
Speaker 2: in the afternoon. Is very confusing, but we had a
Speaker 2: very nice early dinner. Got to see you in your
Speaker 2: work environment on the Fox lot. So that was all
Speaker 2: great and I hope you had a good time. I again, we'll.
Speaker 3: Talk about the.
Speaker 2: The Sunday football watching in a moment, but this this
Speaker 2: week here is a pretty wild If you'd have told
Speaker 2: I know, this is kind of cliche, like if you'd
Speaker 2: have told twenty year old me this, it'd be hard
Speaker 2: to believe. But Demanse and I on Sunday watched the
Speaker 2: football game, the Chiefs Packers game at Lil Wayne's house.
Speaker 2: As he's a diehard Packer fan. I'm a diehard Chiefs fan.
Speaker 2: Demanse Addley is a die easy as Jacoby would say,
Speaker 2: Ravens fan, but he was, you know, so he was
Speaker 2: able to be somewhat neutral in it. And now tomorrow
Speaker 2: I leave town to go to Atlantis in the Bahamas
Speaker 2: to play in the World Series of Poker and to
Speaker 2: do some things with the good people at the WSOP
Speaker 2: and I am playing in I am taking my shot,
Speaker 2: as Mike mcdee would say, uh, And I'm going to
Speaker 2: play in the fifty thousand dollars high Roller tournament down
Speaker 2: there where I am a massive underdog, where it will
Speaker 2: be you know, fifty to sixty of the best poker
Speaker 2: players in the world ten to twenty just wealthy businessmen
Speaker 2: and me where I fill into neither category. I aspire
Speaker 2: to be both one day. Actually, as it happens, I
Speaker 2: aspire one day be a wealthy businessman, and I aspire
Speaker 2: one day to be one of the fifty or sixty
Speaker 2: best poker players in the world. But demon's a what.
Speaker 2: So when I was in college there, I can't tell
Speaker 2: you how many times I would be sitting in my
Speaker 2: dorm room playing. At the time it was Poker Stars
Speaker 2: thirty dollars, sitting go while listening to Go DJ by
Speaker 2: Lil Wayne. So the fact that within a seven day
Speaker 2: time span I will have watched a Chiefs Packers game
Speaker 2: at his house along with you. And by the way,
Speaker 2: and I know we're gonna talk about it more in
Speaker 2: a moment. But Demanse, to his credit, played it very cool, Demonse,
Speaker 2: not starstruck, not instagramming. I actually was the one that suggested, Hey,
Speaker 2: before we leave, why don't we take a picture. Demanse
Speaker 2: kept it together far better than I think most would
Speaker 2: have in that environment. But the fact that we got
Speaker 2: to do that, and now tomorrow I go play alongside
Speaker 2: Daniel mcgranu and Will Helm. You probably won't play in
Speaker 2: this one, but Jason Kuhne and Josh Aria and the
Speaker 2: best poker player at Maria Ho I'm sure is in
Speaker 2: a shout out to Maria Ho, my friend who just
Speaker 2: finished third in a field of almost two thousand people
Speaker 2: probably should have won the tournament, got a little unlucky
Speaker 2: at the end for a nice two hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 2: pay day on a fifteen hundred dollars by in. I
Speaker 2: sweated her action all night last night watching her play.
Speaker 2: She did great. But it's really cool and I'm really excited,
Speaker 2: and I don't know if the audience cares or is
Speaker 2: interested in that. I hope they are, but I just,
Speaker 2: you know, we can't really. I can't peel back the
Speaker 2: layer of my personal life on the TV show the
Speaker 2: way I can on the pod. So there's a little
Speaker 2: update on everything before we get to Chiefs Packers demanse.
Speaker 2: Let's get to the game coming up this week and
Speaker 2: go right ahead.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, So Buffalo heads to Kansas City and a
Speaker 3: must win game. Yep, I don't know who it's a
Speaker 3: more must win game for between Kansas City and Buffalo,
Speaker 3: probably Buffalo because of the math. But are you worried
Speaker 3: at all about Mahomes losing this game?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, here's the thing. Let's talk about
Speaker 2: it from the Chiefs angle, then we'll do the Bills angle.
Speaker 2: This is because if the Chiefs had taken care of
Speaker 2: business against Green Bay, they would have a game to
Speaker 2: play with, because I do not believe Miami or Baltimore
Speaker 2: is going to run the table, and in fact, it's
Speaker 2: impossible for them both to run the table as they
Speaker 2: play each other later in the year, So one of
Speaker 2: them is guaranteed a loss, and I think with Baltimore
Speaker 2: having Rams, Jags, Niners, Dolphins, Steelers, I think they probably
Speaker 2: probably have two losses left in them, but definitely one.
Speaker 2: And Miami's got Titans, Jets, Cowboys, Ravens, Bills. I think
Speaker 2: they probably let me put it like this, the team
Speaker 2: that loses the Miami Baltimore head to head I think
Speaker 2: is gonna lose at least twice. The team that wins
Speaker 2: it probably only loses one more time. And so had
Speaker 2: the Chiefs won the Packers game, they would be able
Speaker 2: to lose one more the rest of the way and
Speaker 2: almost still assuredly be the one seed, home field and
Speaker 2: the bye because they lost that Packers game. In order
Speaker 2: to really have a great chance at the bye, they
Speaker 2: probably have to run the table, not definitely, but probably
Speaker 2: have to run the table. And for people skeptical of
Speaker 2: the Chiefs chances of that, I understand. But after the
Speaker 2: Bills game, it's Patriots, Raiders, Bengals, Chargers, so they should
Speaker 2: be in. I mean, the Patriots are the worst team
Speaker 2: in the league. The Raiders beaten the Chiefs once in
Speaker 2: Mahomes career, the Bengals know Joe Burrow, and then the
Speaker 2: Chargers in Week eighteen already eliminated would be my guess.
Speaker 2: That's a very, very runnable slate. But it starts with,
Speaker 2: as Demons mentioned, a desperate Buffalo team and Josh Allen,
Speaker 2: who at Arrowhead has shot fireballs out his eyes the
Speaker 2: last couple of years. Even in the playoff loss, he
Speaker 2: was excellent. And so from a Chief's perspective, if they
Speaker 2: look lethargic or sloppy or disjointed, it's not because, oh,
Speaker 2: they overlooked this team. It's not because, oh, you know what,
Speaker 2: I mean, the game didn't matter that much. It's because,
Speaker 2: right now there's real issues and so now, of course,
Speaker 2: and on the flip side, there are some real structural
Speaker 2: advantages for Buffalo in this game. Buffalo is off a
Speaker 2: by not only the Chiefs not off a bye. They
Speaker 2: played Sunday night and got the crap kicked out of them.
Speaker 2: I don't mean from a score perspective. I mean from
Speaker 2: an injuries perspective. I mean there were a lot of
Speaker 2: Chiefs players. You know, one guy got carted off, another
Speaker 2: guy got a concussion, there were a lot. You know,
Speaker 2: Isaiah Pacheco showed up on the injury report yesterday, didn't
Speaker 2: practice dealing with a shoulder. So there's a lot of
Speaker 2: wear and tear. So it is not, i an easy
Speaker 2: spot for Kansas City. And if they win, then I
Speaker 2: think we will look at this last five weeks of
Speaker 2: going two and three as people somewhat overreacting to, you know,
Speaker 2: a bit of a slump. If they lose, I'll be
Speaker 2: on here Tuesday and I'll be telling you that the
Speaker 2: Chiefs it's hard to say in trouble because of the
Speaker 2: context of the rest of the conference. Trevor is hurt,
Speaker 2: Burrow is out for the year. Even with a win,
Speaker 2: the Bills are an underdog to even make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: The Steelers are on their backup quarterback, the Browns are
Speaker 2: on their third string quarterback. There is a lot of
Speaker 2: upheaval within the conference. So I would still think the
Speaker 2: Chiefs would have a more than a good chance to
Speaker 2: end up coming out on the other side and playing
Speaker 2: in their second straight so Super Bowl and their fourth
Speaker 2: in the last fifty five years. But it won't be
Speaker 2: because the team, you know, has no issues. Now to
Speaker 2: the Bills side of things, and this is where I
Speaker 2: think the beginning of this game, demands is hyper critical
Speaker 2: and the Bills have started slowly. That's been one of
Speaker 2: their issues. Everybody is recognizing the Bills are coming off
Speaker 2: of bye and McDermot six and oh off a buye,
Speaker 2: and historically teams coming off of buye are hard to
Speaker 2: be got it, especially good teams. I'm not certain how
Speaker 2: good the buye was for Buffalo from a psychological perspective
Speaker 2: because of where it came. It came right after another
Speaker 2: devastating defeat where it felt like they should have won.
Speaker 2: They found a way to lose to Philly. It would
Speaker 2: be you know, a couple weeks removed from them inventing
Speaker 2: a way to lose against Denver and if your Buffalo again.
Speaker 2: We're removed from it now, but just pretty recently, your
Speaker 2: star receiver's brother was openly tweeting about how your star
Speaker 2: receiver needs to get out of there, and how your
Speaker 2: quarterback wasn't that good till he got there, and the Chiefs,
Speaker 2: over the course of the year, no team in the
Speaker 2: league has done better against number one receivers than the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Lugerious need Trent McDuffie what they've been able to do
Speaker 2: against those guys. So there is a scenario where the Chiefs,
Speaker 2: who even in their struggles, have done pretty well on
Speaker 2: their opening drives. The Chiefs get out to a nice,
Speaker 2: you know, ten nothing lead, and Buffalo Josh Allen starts
Speaker 2: to press a bit, Digs is yelling at people on
Speaker 2: the sideline, and all of a sudden, we have real
Speaker 2: potential issue there because this is a team that is
Speaker 2: desperate and does know that they have to probably run
Speaker 2: the table. Josh Allen said it yesterday. These are all
Speaker 2: playoff games for us now, so there would be something
Speaker 2: extra satisfying Demanse about the Chiefs ending their slump by
Speaker 2: ending the Bills season. But This is not an easy
Speaker 2: matchup or an easy opponent, and the one and a
Speaker 2: half point spread indicates that, all right, what else you
Speaker 2: got here?
Speaker 3: So? How was it watching that? We're going back to
Speaker 3: Luwayne right now?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3: My question is how sweet? How is it feeling to,
Speaker 3: you know, be a diehard Chiese fan going up against
Speaker 3: l Wayne who's a diehard Green Bay Packers fan and
Speaker 3: lose the game. Well, well in his house.
Speaker 2: So Demonse, tell the audience the story that you relayed
Speaker 2: to me on the ride home, about what I said
Speaker 2: when I walked in the room, because it was Wayne
Speaker 2: and three of his buddies about because it was the
Speaker 2: the four o'clock games were had just started when we
Speaker 2: got there, so there was the obviously the Eagles Niners game,
Speaker 2: and the other games, the Panthers Bucks game and the
Speaker 2: other games going on. Tell them what I said, and
Speaker 2: then well, just you, it's your story. You tell me.
Speaker 3: So as soon as as soon as he walks in,
Speaker 3: he goes, uh, kind of ask anybody, you know, if
Speaker 3: you've got any sweat in this game or money on
Speaker 3: the game. I don't want to, you know, aggressively root
Speaker 3: against you if you've got anything on it because that'd
Speaker 3: be rude. And uh, yeah, you know he Eagles.
Speaker 2: Niners, Yeah and so and one of the guys said
Speaker 2: he was he had bet the Niners. Uh but he
Speaker 2: was like, but you do whatever you want. I was like, no,
Speaker 2: and I was rooting for the Eagles in that spot
Speaker 2: because I had picked them. But I kind of you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, aside from trying to sweat Demons's teaser,
Speaker 2: which once again was dead in the water, we basically
Speaker 2: kept quiet. Sorry, pal, I had I couldn't resist, all right,
Speaker 2: but go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I mean that whole thing happened. He's stuck
Speaker 3: by to Bye to buy it. And then the Packers
Speaker 3: Kansas City game came on, and I kind of just did.
Speaker 3: I wasn't really thinking about what you said, like technically,
Speaker 3: but uh but yeah, cheese Packers came on and they
Speaker 3: were ruining their asses off. Man. They did not care
Speaker 3: about who screaming screaming.
Speaker 2: And so but it was I mean, it was a
Speaker 2: somewhat surreal experience just being there. And the craziest part was,
Speaker 2: and I'll let you have the floor here was happened
Speaker 2: before the game?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the the commercial he obviously had like an ad
Speaker 3: read vo whatever you want to call it before the game,
Speaker 3: and I think he kind of had a setting in
Speaker 3: his house to where like it turned up louder at
Speaker 3: that moment. But it was just really crazy being in
Speaker 3: being in his house with him while that commercial played,
Speaker 3: and like that was like one of my favorite Lil
Speaker 3: Wayne songs, Like the instrumental was the right above its song,
Speaker 3: and it was just a really dope experience, Like that
Speaker 3: was the one the one thing that's just like really
Speaker 3: stuck out to me. And in the morning when I
Speaker 3: woke up, I still couldn't believe that it happened. It
Speaker 3: was a really crazy moment, man, Yeah, like one of
Speaker 3: the greatest rappers of all time.
Speaker 2: With By the way, the setup so in his living
Speaker 2: room is a giant television that you can split into
Speaker 2: four games or just one TV. There's so like to
Speaker 2: the right of the picture of Demons and Wayne, and
Speaker 2: then on the right hand side was a five level
Speaker 2: what would be for most people bookshelf, like you know,
Speaker 2: one of those hanging from the wall bookshelves, but there
Speaker 2: are no books on it. Instead, it was not exaggerating, right,
Speaker 2: seventy five I mean I don't know, I mean one
Speaker 2: of the rows. One shelf itself had twenty, so I
Speaker 2: think at least seventy different big time trophies. It was
Speaker 2: like a row just be et awards, a row of
Speaker 2: Soul Train Awards along with MTV Awards, a row where
Speaker 2: the Grammys were the centerpiece, and then on the wall
Speaker 2: were all these platinum records and plaques. I mean it
Speaker 2: was And I'm gonna say one other thing that was
Speaker 2: such a and Demonday's right. He did the voiceover for
Speaker 2: the It wasn't a commercial so much as it was
Speaker 2: the game intro and so he does like a poem
Speaker 2: to introduce the game. And he's such a good guy man.
Speaker 2: I text him Saturday, because again this was the last
Speaker 2: minute trip. I'm like, hey, I'm coming into town. I
Speaker 2: just realized it's Chiefs Packers. Like obviously I knew that,
Speaker 2: but I hadn't been thinking about it. That's your team
Speaker 2: and my team. What are you doing for the game?
Speaker 2: And he instantly hit me back and he was like, well,
Speaker 2: I did the intro for the game. I think they
Speaker 2: want me to come out for the game, but I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tell them I can't because my man Nixon Town,
Speaker 2: which I don't know how like honest, like if that's
Speaker 2: the real reason he didn't go, but that's what he said.
Speaker 2: And so then and then he hit me up first
Speaker 2: thing Sunday morning, was like, when are you coming over
Speaker 2: the game? And I told him, uh, you were coming.
Speaker 2: He said, great because you had actually oddly met him
Speaker 2: at the lot on Friday to like crazy timing of
Speaker 2: it because he was coming on the lot for Undisputed.
Speaker 2: But when you get into his house, he has a
Speaker 2: real I think thirty foot Christmas tree, not quite the
Speaker 2: Rockefeller Center tree, but like it's you know, little brother
Speaker 2: in his foyer, just perfectly adorned. And I was just
Speaker 2: looking at the house and I'm like, how did that
Speaker 2: get in the house? Like I did the how did
Speaker 2: it physically fit inside? Like get it in the doorway?
Speaker 2: And so during one of the commercial breaks, I said
Speaker 2: to him, I'm like, hey, that's a real tree. Huh.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh yeah. I'm like how do they get
Speaker 2: that in here? And he's like, oh, I have no idea?
Speaker 2: Like what do you mean? He's like, man, all that
Speaker 2: stuff happens when I'm not here. He's like, I just
Speaker 2: come home and it's all set up perfectly. He's like
Speaker 2: people take care of that. I'm like, ah, what a
Speaker 2: life like that is? That is the perfect way to
Speaker 2: be rich and famous. The perfect way is just like
Speaker 2: super nice stuff, all handled by someone else. And I
Speaker 2: show up and it's like, oh, it's Christmas time in
Speaker 2: my house. I just I just I looked at that.
Speaker 2: I was like, ah, you really have it figured out, man,
Speaker 2: And it was the No, it.
Speaker 3: Was Christmas tree in and out of the house, Christmas
Speaker 3: you kidding?
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I think it's a I thought I was
Speaker 2: happy when a year into living here, I was able
Speaker 2: to find out that I could pay a guy forty
Speaker 2: bucks to deliver to like bring it up the steps
Speaker 2: for us. Wayne just shows up at home and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden he's got the Rockefeller Center tree in
Speaker 2: his living room. It's believable. And also it was and
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be too corny here, and we'll
Speaker 2: get back to sports. It was absolutely thrilling for me
Speaker 2: that you and I got to share that moment together. Now,
Speaker 2: your your sister, Diora will never forgive you for it,
Speaker 2: never forgive you for it, She was, I mean, and
Speaker 2: so whatever she does, she said, she's had different life experiences.
Speaker 2: That's true. All right, next Demons.
Speaker 3: All right, so eagle Stock has hidden all time low.
Speaker 3: Everybody's really low on them after getting smacked by the
Speaker 3: Niners me as well, and while your Cowboys are riding
Speaker 3: an all time high with Dak Priscott. Uh. Did the
Speaker 3: Niners lay out the blueprint for Dallas to beat Philly?
Speaker 2: No? I I don't think so. Following the Niners blueprints
Speaker 2: very very difficult. You need superstars all across the field.
Speaker 2: That's a hard blueprint to follow. From a personnel perspective,
Speaker 2: I don't think. Pardon me, The Niners annihilated Philly schematically
Speaker 2: more than other teams have. They just what the Niners. Listen, Phillies'
Speaker 2: defense is not good. They have a good pass rush
Speaker 2: and that's where it ends. And so of all the
Speaker 2: top flight teams, Phillies defense, to me is the worst unit,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like Dallas offense defense, San
Speaker 2: Francisco offense defense, Philly offense defense, Baltimore offense defense, Kansa
Speaker 2: City offense defense like right now, the second worst unit
Speaker 2: is probably the Kansas City offense. But the Kansity offense
Speaker 2: has Mahomes and Reids, so you figure it'll get better.
Speaker 2: The Eagles defense. I mean, they're out here signing Shaq Leonard,
Speaker 2: who the once upon a time was good but was great,
Speaker 2: but the Colts cut because he can't move anymore. So
Speaker 2: I don't think it's so much that the Niners lay
Speaker 2: a blueprint. I think it's that the Niners had the
Speaker 2: personnel to pick the defense apart the way a lot
Speaker 2: of teams have, and then had the defense of ability
Speaker 2: to hold the Eagles in check. It looks like you
Speaker 2: want to say something.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, demanse, Oh no, I mean, I'm just now
Speaker 3: seeing that Cadell doesn't like the Toushbush any But it's
Speaker 3: a follow up.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well yeah, so we'll get to that in
Speaker 2: a minute. I saw your eyes light up for a moment.
Speaker 2: But the so, I don't think the Niners laid a
Speaker 2: blueprint because people don't have that personnel. I do think
Speaker 2: that Philly's in a rough spot right now because they
Speaker 2: have not been winning pretty. They have been winning ugly
Speaker 2: and winning close games. And you know, that was what
Speaker 2: the Vikings did last year and nobody believed them rightfully,
Speaker 2: so right the Eagles because they went to the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl last season, because everyone has such respect for Jalen
Speaker 2: because they have this kind of institutional belief they're they've
Speaker 2: been getting a I don't want to say a pass
Speaker 2: because they have the best record in football, but it
Speaker 2: has been as simple as they know how to win well.
Speaker 2: If your brand is you know how to win, can't
Speaker 2: lose two straight and I think they're losing this weekend.
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott since Siriani became the Eagles head coach in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, here's what Dak Prescott has done against Philly.
Speaker 2: First game twenty one of twenty six, two hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty eight yards, three touchdowns, no picks a one to
Speaker 2: forty three rating. Next game twenty one of twenty seven,
Speaker 2: two hundred and ninety five yards, five touchdowns, five touchdowns,
Speaker 2: no picks a one to fifty fifty two rating, Next
Speaker 2: game twenty seven to thirty five, three hundred and forty
Speaker 2: seven yards, three touchdowns, one pick a one to twenty
Speaker 2: four rating. And the game this year that they lost
Speaker 2: twenty nine to forty one, three hundred and seventy four yards,
Speaker 2: three touchdowns, no picks a one to fifteen rating. I
Speaker 2: mean that is he has picked a part this Eagles
Speaker 2: defense over the last three years, and so I think
Speaker 2: Dallas at home this year they beat the Giants by twenty,
Speaker 2: the Patriots by thirty five, the Rams by twenty three,
Speaker 2: the Giants by thirty two, the Commanders by thirty five,
Speaker 2: and Seattle by just six. The Cowboys at home this
Speaker 2: year have scored thirty thirty eight, forty three, forty nine,
Speaker 2: forty five, forty one. I think is a rough spot
Speaker 2: for Philadelphia. Man, and there are a lot of downstream
Speaker 2: effects for the if the Cowboys win this game, and
Speaker 2: so Demons, before we get to the Godel thing, ask
Speaker 2: the first follow up for me, how badly.
Speaker 3: The Eagles need to win here to save the one
Speaker 3: seed from San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the So that's the thing if Dallas
Speaker 2: wins or loses. If they lose, they're guaranteed to be
Speaker 2: the five seed. If they win, they're still probably the
Speaker 2: five seed because in order for them to win the
Speaker 2: division over Philidel, they need Dallas needs to win this game,
Speaker 2: go undefeated the rest of the way, and Dallas the
Speaker 2: rest of the way, by the way, has I know
Speaker 2: they have the Lions, I know they have the Dolphins,
Speaker 2: and they have one other I think somewhat tough game,
Speaker 2: Oh the Bills, they go after Philly, they go at
Speaker 2: the Bills at the Dolphins home for the Lions at
Speaker 2: the Commanders. So for Dallas to beat Philly for the division,
Speaker 2: they have to win this game and go undefeated, and
Speaker 2: Philly has to lose one more. And Philly's next four
Speaker 2: are after Dallas at Seattle tough ish and then Giants Cardinals, Giants,
Speaker 2: So even win or lose, Dallas is probably the five seed. Philly,
Speaker 2: on the other hand, while a loss will not cost
Speaker 2: them the division, a loss at least temporarily and maybe
Speaker 2: for the rest of the year could cost them the
Speaker 2: one seat because now that the Niners have the better
Speaker 2: head to head record, if the Niners run the table,
Speaker 2: if they the then Philly is the two seed with
Speaker 2: a win or maybe the three I'm not sure the
Speaker 2: tiebreak with Detroit. So it is a critical spot for Philly. Now.
Speaker 2: The Niners still have to play the Seahawks this week,
Speaker 2: they play the Ravens in two weeks, and they finished
Speaker 2: with the Rams and what could be a desperate Rams
Speaker 2: team along with being at the Cardinals at the Commanders,
Speaker 2: so it's not like the Niners are guaranteed to run
Speaker 2: the table. But yeah, it'd be a very big swing
Speaker 2: for Philadelphia and it's why they need to win this game,
Speaker 2: but I don't think they will. All right, next, now
Speaker 2: you can get to the tush push thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Goodell doesn't like the toush push. It seems
Speaker 3: like he has plans on banning it. So yeah, you
Speaker 3: can go ahead and gloat as well.
Speaker 2: Listen, classic category two opinion eventually unambiguously correct. And if
Speaker 2: you read the report, which Demands evidently didn't, because this
Speaker 2: was breaking news to him right now in real time.
Speaker 2: The full the report was demons that it's not about
Speaker 2: player safety. You know why Goodell doesn't like it.
Speaker 3: It's because it's ugly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And everybody got all mad at your buddy Nick, right,
Speaker 2: We're like, oh, that's ridiculous. Well, and I said, guys, yes,
Speaker 2: you're yelling into the void. Whether I'm whether this is
Speaker 2: morally or in fairness, correct, right or wrong, doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: What I know is the NFL is the world's most
Speaker 2: popular television show. And if the guy in charge of
Speaker 2: a TV show looks at it and it's like, hmm,
Speaker 2: what you know, we have thirty two cities that watch
Speaker 2: this show. There's a character on it that thirty one
Speaker 2: of the city's hate and one of them loves. Well,
Speaker 2: we're probably gonna eliminate that character, and especially if I
Speaker 2: can couch it behind some other reasoning. It was always
Speaker 2: going away. What's that?
Speaker 3: All right? So you know how everybody's been on Jalen
Speaker 3: hurts head. You know, he's all handsome, he's perfect, he's
Speaker 3: got demons. I'm going to expose him. Uh So the
Speaker 3: last sush push that Jalen Hurts did, he just kind
Speaker 3: of like walked into the end zone like he he scored.
Speaker 3: You remember, he just walked in. I think Cadell's like, hey, dude,
Speaker 3: like you got to cut that out. Man, that's dead,
Speaker 3: just walking into the end zone looking on pretty and sorry.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, okay, all right, this maybe workshop that
Speaker 2: opinion a little more and then, but I think there
Speaker 2: was there's a kernel to it. I think you onto
Speaker 2: the potentially Yeah, I think we could have workshopped that
Speaker 2: a bit more. What I do think is that here's
Speaker 2: the one thing I'm afraid of as someone who believes
Speaker 2: his team's going to go to the Super Bowl and
Speaker 2: potentially play the Eagles. I think it is on the
Speaker 2: board that the Eagles could tush, push, brotherly shove whatever,
Speaker 2: more off and more effectively. I think it is on
Speaker 2: the board that if they really had to, they could
Speaker 2: get two to three yards from this play almost every time,
Speaker 2: and they haven't been doing that because they don't want
Speaker 2: it banned. If it comes down that it's getting banned
Speaker 2: either way next season, then you could see an all
Speaker 2: brotherly shoved drive. You could see them be like, you
Speaker 2: know what, let's just try this. Let's just all we
Speaker 2: need is to get two to three yards every time,
Speaker 2: go for it on fourth downs. You certainly here's what
Speaker 2: I really do believe. I think they could get it,
Speaker 2: get a two point conversion on it, which is two
Speaker 2: yards out eighty percent of the time, which means they
Speaker 2: should be doing it on the two point conversion eighty
Speaker 2: percent of the time, or they should be doing it
Speaker 2: every time. They can get eighty percent, they can double
Speaker 2: the points. But yeah, I mean, we all knew this
Speaker 2: was going away. All right, Let's go to party, all right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of future and VP East party is at
Speaker 3: the top of the MVP race. You're obviously not too
Speaker 3: high on this or on that, and it wouldn't be
Speaker 3: the first time, you said the same thing about Jokic
Speaker 3: when he won his back to back MVPs. So how
Speaker 3: would Brock? How would how would Rock party if he
Speaker 3: ended up getting this MVP? How would this stack up
Speaker 3: historically against the other MVPs? Would this look stupid?
Speaker 2: I mean, it'd be an embarrassment, But it's not the
Speaker 2: Jokic thing. So here's the deal. At no point was anyone,
Speaker 2: including me, questioning, is NIKOI Jokic the best Nugget. At
Speaker 2: no point was there an argument made that other guys
Speaker 2: on the Nuggets were more valuable or better at what
Speaker 2: they did than Jokic. The argument was very clear. Is
Speaker 2: Jokic the fifth or sixth the best player in the
Speaker 2: league like I thought? Or the best player in the
Speaker 2: league like a lot of other people thought, And they
Speaker 2: were correct, and I was wrong on that. That is
Speaker 2: so entirely different than an MVP. For a guy who
Speaker 2: everyone acknowledges is not the best player on his team,
Speaker 2: is not do is not the I mean, you can
Speaker 2: say valuable, you can say every team's quarterback is the
Speaker 2: most valuable guy. But a team a player who by
Speaker 2: any historical metric other than the raw stats, that's what
Speaker 2: he has going in his favor, the raw numbers are elite.
Speaker 2: Any type of deeper level analysis works against him, and
Speaker 2: people think I am picking on brock Party argue.
Speaker 3: Isn't your argument always just the raw numbers? Though, like
Speaker 3: with Lebron, like back in the day, I feel like
Speaker 3: the stats highest amount of points assists rebounds raw numbers.
Speaker 3: But like now it's this other guy, brock Party. If
Speaker 3: the raw numbers aren't a big deal, it's oh, he's
Speaker 3: got superstars with him.
Speaker 2: Okay, so a number, so a few things. One is,
Speaker 2: of course, the numbers matter to a degree in any
Speaker 2: of these arguments, right, that's first of all. But second
Speaker 2: of all, I do hope everyone heard what you did,
Speaker 2: which other people have done, which we now have compared
Speaker 2: brock Party within ninety seconds to Nikola Jokic and Lebron James.
Speaker 2: And yet I'm the hater because I'm like, let's pump
Speaker 2: the breaks a bit, guys, Let's just pump the breaks
Speaker 2: a bit and have a real conversation here. What is
Speaker 2: so intriguing to me is everyone is doing to Tua
Speaker 2: what I'm doing to Party. I'm just doing it to
Speaker 2: both of them. You seem Tua's raw numbers tell the
Speaker 2: last two years. You can even make a stronger argument
Speaker 2: for Tua because that team fell apart when he wasn't there,
Speaker 2: while the Niners were rolling people in the final four
Speaker 2: games after they got Christian McCaffrey, before Brock took over
Speaker 2: with Jimmy Freakin Garoppola. But yet with Tua, everyone's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: he's fine, Tyreek is amazing, the system is great, and
Speaker 2: the numbers are inflated. I there is I did this
Speaker 2: the other day, and I don't think people actually disagree
Speaker 2: with me. I did it off the air, actually, but
Speaker 2: I'll do it on the air here. Which is if
Speaker 2: and people can say this is unfair or this isn't
Speaker 2: the point it is to me at least in part,
Speaker 2: so everyone can have their own takes on things. But
Speaker 2: if right now the league disbanded and everyone was starting
Speaker 2: a team and we said, okay, you everyone must take
Speaker 2: a quarterback first, how many of the current quarterbacks you
Speaker 2: don't know what the rest of your team's going to
Speaker 2: look like. Your first piece is your quarterback. How many
Speaker 2: of the other quarterbacks in football would go off the
Speaker 2: board before Brock. Now that doesn't mean all these guys
Speaker 2: are having better seasons than you. That But let's just
Speaker 2: do this thought exercise. Okay, So I'll go through a
Speaker 2: few Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, Dak Prescott,
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 3: Is the is the contract incorporate?
Speaker 2: Nope, we don't have to worry about the contract. I'm
Speaker 2: just talking about the player's ability. Justin Herbert, I'm oh CJ.
Speaker 2: Stroud obviously obvious. Kyler Kyler is uh a question. But
Speaker 2: for me, I would I would take Kyler with his
Speaker 2: warts over brock Party. I would take well, brock Party
Speaker 2: is not exactly a strapping man. I mean, brock Purty
Speaker 2: is a little bit bigger than Kyler. He's not He's
Speaker 2: not prototypical size. This is where, and now, this is
Speaker 2: where people will say I've gone too far. If you
Speaker 2: were again asking me, uh, you get this guy, you
Speaker 2: don't know what the rest of your team's gonna look like.
Speaker 2: I would take Anthony Richardson because of the upside of it. Now,
Speaker 2: we've only seen him play a handful of games. But
Speaker 2: I people can say that's crazy. I'm telling you this
Speaker 2: right now. The Indianapolis Colts who drafted him fourth overall
Speaker 2: on draft Day, would not have traded the fourth overall
Speaker 2: pick for brock Party. I guarantee you that. So that's
Speaker 2: eleven guys I already mentioned, and I didn't even get
Speaker 2: to Matt Stafford Kirk Cousins to uh uh? Is there
Speaker 2: anyone else obvious that I the I know some people
Speaker 2: these days are caping for Russ, but that's it. So
Speaker 2: we all, I think, in large part, agree with that.
Speaker 2: We also all agree that the Niners have the best
Speaker 2: collection of offensive talent in the league. We also all
Speaker 2: agree that we have seen this team function at a
Speaker 2: super high level with a mediocre at best quarterback in
Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo. So all of that is to say this,
Speaker 2: we probably shouldn't give him the league's MVP award. Is
Speaker 2: he better than I thought? Maybe? Is he overachieving? Definitely?
Speaker 2: Is he doing what Kyle Shanahan wanted him to do? Sure?
Speaker 2: Does that mean you should be the league's MVP? Of
Speaker 2: course not. And do we think And folks, by the way,
Speaker 2: folks try to hit me with the trump card, they
Speaker 2: think of, oh, well, what did you what did you
Speaker 2: think of Kurt Warner when he won an MVP in
Speaker 2: ninety nine, fresh off being a grocery bagger, And you
Speaker 2: know what I thought, it's a bad MVP award. Sorry, guys,
Speaker 2: you know Kurt Warner's good player, better than Brock Party.
Speaker 2: But why do I think that RAMS team was unbelievable?
Speaker 2: Do I think it had more do with Marshall fulk
Speaker 2: Tory Hold, Isaac Bruce, Orlando Pace the other like you know,
Speaker 2: hall of famers on the team that were already established
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame caliber players. Yeah, I do, so I'm
Speaker 2: at least consistent with it. I'm yet to find someone
Speaker 2: that is making the Brock Party it has to be
Speaker 2: MVP argument. If you feel that way, then to a
Speaker 2: tongue of I Loo will better be a close second
Speaker 2: for me. Neither one's in my top five because neither
Speaker 2: one's the most valuable player on their own offense, let
Speaker 2: alone in the entire league.
Speaker 3: All right, last, all right, Well, the end season tournament
Speaker 3: semi finals tip off tonight in Vaas and you got
Speaker 3: your Lakers taken on the Pelicans and the Pacers are
Speaker 3: gonna be playing the Bucks. So which type of team
Speaker 3: do you give the edge two? In these in season
Speaker 3: tournament types of things. Do you give it to the
Speaker 3: more veteran style teams or the more like young and
Speaker 3: hungry rookies.
Speaker 2: Well, I think there is something to be said if
Speaker 2: the veteran teams weren't taking it seriously, that you would
Speaker 2: like the younger teams or the money means more to them,
Speaker 2: and that type of thing. But I don't think that's
Speaker 2: the case here. The Lakers are a very veteran team.
Speaker 2: They are undefeated in D season tournament play, They've been
Speaker 2: playing their best basketball in the N season tournament games.
Speaker 2: And the Bucks, I think, who are very veteran team,
Speaker 2: are using this as like a playoff dry run, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, I know they scored one forty and
Speaker 2: that's great, But if that's what that defense is gonna
Speaker 2: look like in the playoffs, that's a problem for the Bucks.
Speaker 2: I think the Bucks are gonna lose tonight. I think
Speaker 2: Tyrese Halliburton is gonna have a combined fifty five points
Speaker 2: and assists tonight. I think he's gonna put up a
Speaker 2: forty to fifteen on this Milwaukee defense. I think the
Speaker 2: Lakers are gonna roll the Pelicans and we're gonna get
Speaker 2: a Lakers Pacers final. Even though a Lakers Bucks final
Speaker 2: would be the the most kind of you know, marquee
Speaker 2: for the league. My biggest takeaway from the first nd
Speaker 2: Season Tournament quarterfinal, the Lakers one was this, that was
Speaker 2: the first time we've seen Lebron James fully healthy in
Speaker 2: a playoff environment since the finals, and shockingly a few
Speaker 2: weeks before he turns thirty nine as the oldest guy
Speaker 2: in the league. On the court with Booker kd Anthony Davis,
Speaker 2: Lebron was the best guy once again because Lebron in
Speaker 2: the year they were defending the title had the ankle
Speaker 2: injury that had knocked him out for two months right
Speaker 2: before the playoffs, and last year was hobbled by the
Speaker 2: broken foot and you you know, couldn't really cut, only
Speaker 2: do it in bursts, short bursts. The other night, we
Speaker 2: saw fully functional Lebron ad in a playoff environment, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, he's back to scoring fifteen points
Speaker 2: in the fourth court and taking over the game. Here's
Speaker 2: one other bonus take on the nd Season Tournament. There
Speaker 2: is nothing the Lebron haters, if you will, would like
Speaker 2: more than for him to make the nd Season Tournament
Speaker 2: final and lose it for the for the Jordan acolytes.
Speaker 2: The nd season tournament means absolutely nothing. It's a fake trophy.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. It's a Mickey Mouse type of thing,
Speaker 2: unless and of course Lebron loses in the finals, in
Speaker 2: which case they will call it a finals loss for him.
Speaker 2: Quick break right back what's right? But before we go
Speaker 2: to break, this episode of what's Right is brought to
Speaker 2: by the McDonald's app. I love the McDonald's app for McDelivery.
Speaker 2: It's perfect for any situation. Let's say it's pouring rain

Speaker 2: Let's say your team's playing you don't want to miss
Speaker 2: a single second McDelivery. Let's say it's been a long day.

Speaker 2: a game or hanging out with my family. And now

Speaker 2: And also a reminder for everybody out there, Uh, put
Speaker 2: your questions or bets or questions whatever you want in
Speaker 2: the chat. So there was one other before we get
Speaker 2: to last week's gambling picks. There was one other silver
Speaker 2: lining to watching the football game in LA. Whether it
Speaker 2: was at Wayne's house or not, it would have been
Speaker 2: a silver lining. It probably saved me demands a few
Speaker 2: thousand dollars watching the Chiefs game in California, because I
Speaker 2: I was very confident they were gonna find a way
Speaker 2: to win that game. And there were various times they were,
Speaker 2: you know, two and a half point favorites, then two
Speaker 2: and a half point dogs, then five point dogs, And
Speaker 2: if I were in New York, I would have been
Speaker 2: able to open my whole gambling app and just fire,
Speaker 2: fire fire, and I reflexively was trying to do it,
Speaker 2: but I was in California where the apps don't work,
Speaker 2: and so I was as I'm watching, getting angrier and
Speaker 2: angrier because I'm like, man, the Chiefs are gonna come back.
Speaker 2: This is gonna cost me so much. But I ended
Speaker 2: up getting off scott free. Unfortunately, my picks cannot say
Speaker 2: the same. And this was our worst week of the year.
Speaker 2: We can show it to you. It was bad on
Speaker 2: all accounts. Started off well with Houston laying three and
Speaker 2: a half against Denver, and then from there it did
Speaker 2: not go great. A little bad luck but mostly bad picks.
Speaker 2: Tampa against Carolina, I laid five, Tampa won by three.
Speaker 2: I happen to think I deserved to push there. They
Speaker 2: were up five and Carolina got a two point conversion.
Speaker 2: That was a little frustrating. Tennessee plus one and a
Speaker 2: half against Indy. That game went to freaking overtime. Tennessee
Speaker 2: kicked a field goal, the Colts rolled down the field
Speaker 2: and score a touchdown. I lose. So those two are
Speaker 2: a little unlucky. The other two are just a disaster.
Speaker 2: Philly plus three against against San Francisco that's a disaster.
Speaker 2: And King City minus six at Green Bay. That's a disaster. However,
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the graphics. These graphics are wrong. It says,
Speaker 2: my season record is thirty thirty three and one, which
Speaker 2: on its face is wrong because that's not divisible by five.
Speaker 2: You guys left out my one win because last week
Speaker 2: I was thirty twenty nine and one. So whoever's in
Speaker 2: charge of graphics, I'm going to just blame Daniel did
Speaker 2: not add the win as I earned it. I am
Speaker 2: thirty one, thirty three and one, sir, one hundred percent
Speaker 2: Daniel's fault. I knew it. Guys always trying to short
Speaker 2: change me. Ever since I questioned the Nuggets continuity in
Speaker 2: the offseason, he's still not over it. So I'm two
Speaker 2: games below five hundred. What made it worse, de monsay
Speaker 2: is I gave out my own can't miss teaser and
Speaker 2: both teams lost outright. I gave out the Chiefs Jag
Speaker 2: six point teaser. The Chiefs down to a pick them
Speaker 2: they lost by eight, the Jags down to minus two
Speaker 2: and a half. They lost by three. That was very
Speaker 2: upsetting and disappointing, But we turn the page, we move forward,
Speaker 2: and we get to this week's picks. Two games below
Speaker 2: five hundred, so four and one, I'll be back above
Speaker 2: five hundred for the year. The elusive five and zero
Speaker 2: and I'll be a couple games over five hundred three
Speaker 2: games over, Actually, Demons, what's the first one?
Speaker 3: First? When you got Rams at Baltimore, Rams plus seven
Speaker 3: and a half at Baltimore.
Speaker 2: Brother Okay, so Rams plus seven and a half at Baltimore.
Speaker 2: This is one of those things that you hear about
Speaker 2: all the time about, oh, the West Coast team going
Speaker 2: east and that is difficult for them to win, But
Speaker 2: that almost has been baked too much into these point spreads,
Speaker 2: where over the last four years, West Coast teams going
Speaker 2: east are fifty one and thirty three against the spread. Now,
Speaker 2: what is not good about this is hardball coming off
Speaker 2: of bye, and what is not good about this is
Speaker 2: the Rams. The way to get after the Rams is
Speaker 2: to have legit pass rush to be able to get
Speaker 2: to Stafford because the Rams do not have a great
Speaker 2: offensive line and the Ravens this year, their defensive front
Speaker 2: has been as good as anybody in football. But the
Speaker 2: seven and a half for a Rams team that's been
Speaker 2: playing well. Look at the Rams losses this year by
Speaker 2: seven to the Niners, by three to the Bengals, by
Speaker 2: nine to the Eagles, and again that wouldn't have covered
Speaker 2: the seven and a half, but it's that's nine points
Speaker 2: by seven to the Steelers. And then they got blown
Speaker 2: out and annihilated by the Cowboys. And they got beat
Speaker 2: soundly by the Packers. But that was a game where
Speaker 2: the Rams defense bowed up. They didn't get blown out
Speaker 2: because of the defense. Their offense just couldn't move the football. Remember,
Speaker 2: I picked the Cowboys to annihilate the Rams because I
Speaker 2: think the Rams could block them. I think the Rams
Speaker 2: offense right now is a little better and this I
Speaker 2: could see this being a one score game in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. But even if it's not, the Ravens have
Speaker 2: not been good at just stepping on teams throats. They
Speaker 2: let the Chargers right back in that game. Obviously, they
Speaker 2: have three losses this year where they let the other
Speaker 2: teams come from way behind to win. The Rams plus
Speaker 2: seven and a half is a spot where at plus
Speaker 2: six and a half, I wouldn't take them plus seven
Speaker 2: and a half. I just think that line's a touch
Speaker 2: too big. McVeigh understands that the Rams right now are
Speaker 2: positioned well for the playoffs. They're gonna be up for
Speaker 2: this game. I like the Rams plus seven and a
Speaker 2: half at Baltimore next.
Speaker 3: Houston minus three and a half at the Jets.
Speaker 2: Okay, so all the trends go against this. Stroud hasn't
Speaker 2: done well against the spread as a favorite. Road favorites
Speaker 2: coming off a long home stretch are like twenty six
Speaker 2: and forty four against the spread the last twenty years.
Speaker 2: The Jets are on a long losing streak, which those
Speaker 2: teams tend to cover. I understand all the trends have
Speaker 2: this is a flatley square bet, but the fact of
Speaker 2: the matter is this the Jets demandsa here's a fun
Speaker 2: one for you. They've played twelve games, right, the Jets
Speaker 2: have how many offensive touchdowns do you think they have
Speaker 2: for the season? Just give it a guess. Well, that's
Speaker 2: too low. You're bad at this game. Ten ten offensive touchdowns?
Speaker 2: Five you five? You saying five makes ten? That not
Speaker 2: have the impact? Just so you know, that's less than
Speaker 2: one a game. The whole team has ten offensive touchdowns
Speaker 2: on the year. The Jets are going back to Zach
Speaker 2: Wilson after he begged to never have to play football
Speaker 2: again and then lie about it. In my opinion at
Speaker 2: the press conference, I thought that was shameful. Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: wanting them to a Mission impossible style mole hunt. Robert
Speaker 2: Sala is staring at after last year finishing the year
Speaker 2: on a six game losing streak, potentially finishing this year
Speaker 2: on a ten game losing streak. It's all bad with
Speaker 2: the Jets. And while I understand the Texans lost Tank
Speaker 2: Dell due to injury last week and that's gonna hurt them,
Speaker 2: I believe in CJ. Stroud. I believe this Jets defense
Speaker 2: has had its sole sapped by the Jets offense. The Texans,
Speaker 2: on the other hand, while they haven't been blowing teams out,
Speaker 2: they've won four or five with the only loss coming
Speaker 2: against the Prince. I think that this is a twenty
Speaker 2: four to six type of win for Houston, going to
Speaker 2: New York, getting back in the playoff picture, getting to
Speaker 2: eight and five. I like that this is purely a
Speaker 2: fading Zach Wilson and Robert Sala coach quarterback combo. I
Speaker 2: like the Jets plus five. I'm sorry that Texans minus
Speaker 2: three and a half next.
Speaker 3: Seattle plus ten and a half at San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Okay, so San Francis Demonse hates this demand is afraid
Speaker 2: of the Niners and the Niners blow people out, There's
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. And the Niners have had massive
Speaker 2: success this year and last year, including the playoff game
Speaker 2: against Seattle. Is let me what I'm talking about there
Speaker 2: is I think they have blown Seattle out. How many
Speaker 2: games in a row that they've played have they blown
Speaker 2: Seattle out? I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 3: You right in the conference championship last year.
Speaker 2: Well, the divisional round, you screwed me. I screwed myself up.
Speaker 2: The wild card round they blew them out in because
Speaker 2: they Niners blew out Seattle and then beat Dallas and
Speaker 2: then lost to Philly. But this year they lost thirty
Speaker 2: one to three. Two weeks ago did Seattle in the
Speaker 2: wild card round the Niners won forty one to twenty three.
Speaker 2: Earlier in the year they beat them twenty seven to seven,
Speaker 2: and then later in the year they beat them just
Speaker 2: by eight twenty one to thirteen. And so there has
Speaker 2: not been a lot of success for Seattle. In fact,
Speaker 2: there's been none against San Francisco the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: But ten and a half points is too many points
Speaker 2: given the fact that the Niners are off. In my opinion,
Speaker 2: the wild emotional high of blowing out Philadelphia. It is
Speaker 2: just they are. There is no chance that the Niners
Speaker 2: are giving this game the attention they gave the Eagles
Speaker 2: game when that was for the one seed. Potentially that
Speaker 2: was for revenge, to make it clear that they had
Speaker 2: gotten screwed in the NFC title game last year. For
Speaker 2: all those reasons, the Niners, I think this is an obvious,
Speaker 2: deep breath, foot off the gas, you know, kind of
Speaker 2: overlook an opponent, especially because they just so thoroughly dominated
Speaker 2: Seattle in their last matchup, and Seattle is full on desperate.
Speaker 2: Seattle went from six and three to six and six,
Speaker 2: and after the Niners they have Philly, So if they're
Speaker 2: gonna have any type of fight in them, they need
Speaker 2: to show up early in this game. I do not
Speaker 2: think Seattle wins, but this does feel to me like
Speaker 2: a potential twenty four to seventeen type of Niners win,
Speaker 2: and for that reason, I'll take Seattle plus the points. Next.
Speaker 3: Did you already say that parties eight and two against
Speaker 3: the spread at home?
Speaker 2: I did not. They listen, they blow people out, and
Speaker 2: the Niners are sixteen and four against the spread at
Speaker 2: home in their last twenty games. But the flip side
Speaker 2: of that is Pete Carroll fifty five forty as a
Speaker 2: home underdog Gino twenty one and fifteen against spread coming
Speaker 2: off a loss. Just ten and a half points is
Speaker 2: too many points for a divisional game where one team
Speaker 2: just got a massive win and the other team is desperate.
Speaker 3: Next Vegas plus three versus Minnesota.
Speaker 2: All right, So this is one where I look at
Speaker 2: the Raiders, because of the coaching change, and because I
Speaker 2: think they like and believe in Antonio Pierce, are going
Speaker 2: to have really made good use of the bye. I
Speaker 2: think Minnesota. Now, listen, both of these teams are coming
Speaker 2: off of bye, but the Raiders are. If they are
Speaker 2: going to have any chance at staying alive for the playoffs,
Speaker 2: they have to win this week and then Thursday at
Speaker 2: home against the Chargers. The Vikings are a good story
Speaker 2: and a well coached team, but I don't think I
Speaker 2: think the Vikings are substantially enough better than the Raiders
Speaker 2: for the Vikings to be laying points in Vegas. This
Speaker 2: to me is a line that should be Las Vegas
Speaker 2: minus a point and a half, and instead it's Las
Speaker 2: Vegas instead of being even plus a point and a half,
Speaker 2: Las Vegas getting a full three points. That's too many
Speaker 2: for Josh Dobbs on the road, especially after we just
Speaker 2: saw him play the worst game he's ever played. The
Speaker 2: Raiders plus three points is just clearly to me the
Speaker 2: sharp side of this, and I will take the home team.
Speaker 2: They are equivalent talent teams. They're both coming off a bye,
Speaker 2: and I'm getting a full three points with the home team.
Speaker 2: That's where I'm going. And Peter Deeb says, if you're
Speaker 2: betting on Vikings Raiders you have a gambling problem. Well, listen,
Speaker 2: you go where the value is. You can't have you
Speaker 2: can't have any favorite sons or daughters in this, all right?
Speaker 3: Next demanse Kansas City minus one and a half versus Buffalo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Kansaity wins. It's the when it's only
Speaker 2: a point and a half spread, you don't have to
Speaker 2: do much analysis. Who do you think is gonna win?
Speaker 2: I understand there's a scenario where they win twenty eight
Speaker 2: to twenty seven and don't cover, but I think this
Speaker 2: is a disrespectful line. I understand the Chiefs are in
Speaker 2: a five week slump. The Bills have been in the
Speaker 2: twelve week slump. And the fact that the Chiefs are
Speaker 2: getting less than the full three. The Chiefs were bigger
Speaker 2: favorites at home against Philly than against Buffalo. Once again,
Speaker 2: Vegas can not quit the Bills. They just cannot quit
Speaker 2: the Bills. And Josh, this is not a playoff game technically,
Speaker 2: but it kind of is. And in people's mind's eye,
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is this legendary postseason performer. He actually isn't.
Speaker 2: He has played eight career playoff games. Three of them
Speaker 2: he has been a fire breathing dragon, two of them
Speaker 2: he's been mediocre, and three of them he's been downright bad.
Speaker 2: It's almost like even his playoff career is a bit
Speaker 2: of a roller coaster. So I think the Bills the
Speaker 2: week off is helpful for them from a physical perspective.
Speaker 2: From a mental perspective, I don't know that it was
Speaker 2: because that team was in such disarray. I do think that, uh.
Speaker 2: I mean when I say that Vegas can't quit the Bills.
Speaker 2: The Bills are one in seven against the spread in
Speaker 2: their last eight games, and Mahomes is twenty seven and
Speaker 2: one against the spread when it's less than when it's
Speaker 2: three points or less. And so for all these reasons.
Speaker 2: I think Kansas City wins. I think Cansidy ens Buffalo season.
Speaker 2: I like Kansaity laying the point and a half. So
Speaker 2: we can give you our recap of the picks. Recap
Speaker 2: for the picks this week is the Rams plus seven
Speaker 2: and a half at Baltimore, Houston minus three and a
Speaker 2: half of the Jets, Seattle getting ten and a half
Speaker 2: at San Francisco, Las Vegas getting three against Minnesota at home,
Speaker 2: and Kansas City laying one and a half at home
Speaker 2: against Buffalo. Now to the saddest segment on sports podcasting,
Speaker 2: Demonse's teaser recap. Demonse, how's it going, Pal?
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it's sad, but what's.
Speaker 2: It's not happy? I mean it's not, I tell you,
Speaker 2: but go ahead. Sorry.
Speaker 3: We went on last week's teaser. Arizona plus thirteen obviously
Speaker 3: was kind.
Speaker 2: Of that was good? They won out right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, Lilly plus three and a half, the one
Speaker 3: that I kind of got bullied into changing on air.
Speaker 3: That one failed badly.
Speaker 2: Oh you're right, City plus you did have Detroit plus
Speaker 2: three and that one one, So I did bully you
Speaker 2: out of a winner for a loser. That is true.
Speaker 2: Fortunately for me it didn't cost you the bet because
Speaker 2: you also had the Chiefs. Yeah, this is a tough one.
Speaker 2: Are you getting back on the horse this week? Or
Speaker 2: are you giving it up? No?
Speaker 3: I mean I'm not gonna give it up. I feel
Speaker 3: like you know. Okay, we got four games, four weeks left,
Speaker 3: five weeks, so it's just.
Speaker 2: My Yeah, thereabouts five weeks left. Okay.
Speaker 3: So yeah, this week's teaser, we're calling this the line
Speaker 3: value teaser. It's the three teams six and a half
Speaker 3: point teaser. I'm gonna tease to the zero on one of
Speaker 3: these just so you know. But this is These are
Speaker 3: the highest sides I think they've been all season. This
Speaker 3: is plus one thirty. I think the highest ever been
Speaker 3: is like plus one ten maybe. So first, we're teasing
Speaker 3: Detroit up to plus three and a half. That's through
Speaker 3: the zero at Chicago.
Speaker 2: Chicago. Detroit from a three point favorite to getting three
Speaker 2: and a half. Okay.
Speaker 3: Next, yes, I call this one. Don't trust Seattle scared
Speaker 3: of San Francisco minus four? First see it. We're teasing
Speaker 3: San Francisco minus four versus Seattle. And then we're teasing
Speaker 3: Philadelphia up to plus ten at Dallas.
Speaker 2: All Right, so listen the I'm proud of you for not,
Speaker 2: like all of a sudden, just abandoning Philly because they
Speaker 2: screwed you on a teaser last week. That's at least
Speaker 2: good process. And I don't think Dallas is gonna blow
Speaker 2: them out, so uh, that one worries me a little,
Speaker 2: but not that much. I the San Francisco one, you're
Speaker 2: not getting a ton of key numbers. You're teasing them
Speaker 2: down to minus four. You obviously would rather be teasing
Speaker 2: them down to minus three, but I I don't hate it.
Speaker 3: And if you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna tease through a Z, if you're gonna tease through
Speaker 2: a zero, at least you are getting the plus three
Speaker 2: and a half. At this point, I'm just rooting for
Speaker 2: your pal. So let's just give you a solid B.
Speaker 2: My teaser grades a B on this. I uh, I
Speaker 2: don't think I think broken.
Speaker 3: Like coach coach. You know, coach you want the coach
Speaker 3: to keep BARKANATCHI because he believes in you. When he
Speaker 3: stops barkinatch is when it's a lost cause and we're
Speaker 3: Keleoly there.
Speaker 2: I think we're there, That is true. I think we
Speaker 2: are there. Unfortunately, all right, don't forget to send in
Speaker 2: your guys questions to the chat before we do that.
Speaker 2: What's the offer this week? Demans? The offer for.
Speaker 3: Week fourteen, We're gonna call this Nick's Favorites. We got
Speaker 3: Chiefs minus one and a half at the bill or
Speaker 3: versus the Bills and the Lakers to win the nd
Speaker 3: season tournament at plus five point fifty.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love it. Yeah, we'll do that. Lakers to
Speaker 2: beat the Pelicans, and then I think the Pacers and
Speaker 2: the Chiefs to beat the Bills by at least two points. Yep,
Speaker 2: I accept that offer. I'm taking that offer all right.
Speaker 2: Before we go to break, This episode of What's Right
Speaker 2: is brought to you by the McDonald's app. I love
Speaker 2: the McDonald's app, particularly for mc delivery. I love it
Speaker 2: because it's so easy in any situation. It's pouring rain,
Speaker 2: or it's freezing cold, you don't want to go out
Speaker 2: to go get a mcdouble McDelivery, your team's playing you
Speaker 2: don't want to miss a second McDelivery, or it's been
Speaker 2: a long day. What better way to fix it? Thann
Speaker 2: get in a delicious double quarter pounder with cheese and
Speaker 2: a large fry, delivered right to your door. I love
Speaker 2: to order McDelivery when I'm watching a game or spending
Speaker 2: time with my family. And now every time you order
Speaker 2: McDelivery in the McDonald's app, and it earns you points towards
Speaker 2: free food. And everyone loves free food, so there's always
Speaker 2: a reason to order in the McDonald's app. Donald the
Speaker 2: McDonald's app Today, at participating McDonald's delivery, prices may be
Speaker 2: higher than at restaurants delivery and other fees may apply.
Speaker 2: Copyright twenty twenty three McDonald's. All right, demons, let's get
Speaker 2: to the chat questions. Go right ahead.
Speaker 3: Big Smith asked, what do you think about the college
Speaker 3: football playoff selections?
Speaker 2: All right, so I expand on this a lot. In
Speaker 2: you be able to see it on Big Fox on
Speaker 2: Sunday and the Colin Coward's heard for the holiday special.
Speaker 2: But I think Florida State, what happened to them is abhorrent.
Speaker 2: I do not think that the best overmost deserving is
Speaker 2: a fair standard when we are Maybe you could argue
Speaker 2: it's a fair standard if you are in the most
Speaker 2: of possible extreme situations, but you were not in this spot.
Speaker 2: Alabama needed a fourth and thirty one to escape a
Speaker 2: mediocre Auburn team two weeks ago, and you're elevating them
Speaker 2: in place of a Florida State team. Yes, I understand
Speaker 2: Florida State's offense has been awful since Jordan Travis went down,
Speaker 2: but it's a complete team. They just beat a top
Speaker 2: twenty Louisville team based on the strength of their defense.
Speaker 2: They're an undefeated Power five school that had a tough
Speaker 2: non conference schedule, And as soon as you open the
Speaker 2: door to leaving them out, why not put in Ohio
Speaker 2: State over Washington. I think Ohio State would be a
Speaker 2: favorite over Washington if we're doing it by Vegas standards.
Speaker 2: Ohio State's one loss is on the road by less
Speaker 2: than a touchdown against the number one team in the nation,
Speaker 2: and so if the results on the field don't matter,
Speaker 2: I just think it's wrong. So I think they got it.
Speaker 2: I personally think they screwed it up all right.
Speaker 3: Next, asps Nick, what do you think about the Pacers
Speaker 3: in their historic offensive run? Do you think they will
Speaker 3: continue to go on this run and carry it to
Speaker 3: the playoffs? How many rounds can they win?
Speaker 2: I think they'll win a round. They could maybe win
Speaker 2: two rounds. Halliburton is unbelievable, and what they're doing there
Speaker 2: is really impressive. I don't. Yeah, I know it's such
Speaker 2: a bad form, but I mean, he's an unbelievable players.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're a real championship contender right now,
Speaker 2: but they are ahead of schedule, all right.
Speaker 3: Next Daniel Christissek asked, should heyone on a defense on
Speaker 3: a defense be getting MVP consideration?
Speaker 2: I thought Miles Garrett should have been the leading candidate
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, but now is had a
Speaker 2: couple of straight quiet games, he got injured, he's dealing
Speaker 2: with his shoulder injury, and the Browns haven't been quite
Speaker 2: as good. So right now, probably not. Who were you?
Speaker 2: You said, Bland, No, I mean the pick sixes are fun,
Speaker 2: but he's not the most valuable player on his own team,
Speaker 2: so he's not gonna be the most valuable player in
Speaker 2: the league certainly.
Speaker 3: Next, Bazinga three h nine asked, question, do you think
Speaker 3: that the Bucks offense is so good with Giannis and
Speaker 3: Dame that it will outweigh the defensive woes in the postseason?
Speaker 2: No? Not right now. I don't. I think that defense
Speaker 2: is real trouble and may before the year, I thought
Speaker 2: the offense would be able to overcome. And I know
Speaker 2: they just hung one forty something on the Knicks, but
Speaker 2: I think the Bucks right now look very shaky, and
Speaker 2: i'd be it's early. You think they're the third best
Speaker 2: team behind the Celtics and Sixers. Yeah, it's I mean
Speaker 2: there's right now, there's a strong argument for that for sure,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 3: Last one, Zacharyatter asked, Nick, will your World Series of
Speaker 3: Poker Atlantis be on TV or streamed anywhere? Would love
Speaker 3: to see you what's win some money?
Speaker 2: So listen. I just checked the streaming schedule, and right
Speaker 2: now the tournament I'm in, the fifty K high Roller
Speaker 2: is not set to be streamed, but sometimes those things change.
Speaker 2: They'll certainly be updates, and I will try to update
Speaker 2: as much as I can on my Instagram, maybe on
Speaker 2: Twitter as well. I'm not certain there's other big tournaments
Speaker 2: going on during that tournament that I think is part
Speaker 2: of the streaming schedule. But I'll tell you this much,
Speaker 2: if I go on a deep run, I think that
Speaker 2: might they might put it. They might stream that sucker.
Speaker 2: You've got some you know, non pro that also is
Speaker 2: like has some profile outside of poker. If I'm going
Speaker 2: on a deep run against these wizards, then maybe it
Speaker 2: gets streamed. But listen, I'm thrilled to be there. Appreciate
Speaker 2: the ticket to paradise. I got right here and I
Speaker 2: leave in the morning, so everybody wish me luck. All right,
