1
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Madness Show, Badays.

2
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: Minnesota Tim, Jake's Takes Madness.

3
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: It is Jake's Takes Time. On a Thursday morning or

4
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: whenever you are listening to this podcast, it is Minnesota

5
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 3: Tim and Jake's Takes Day. We know this is your

6
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: favorite day of the year because this is a segment

7
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: that Jacob has created and we have been following for years.

8
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: It's time for Favorable, Formidable, and fifty to fifty, where

9
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: we run through each game of the Minnesota Vikings schedule

10
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 3: and predict if the outcome is favorable, formidable or fifty

11
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: to fifty. But first, because I like to be a gentleman,

12
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: even to my fellow men, Jacob, how are you doing today?

13
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: I've been good. Like you said, it's the biggest day

14
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,639
Speaker 2: of the year. It's the opening of the NFL season

15
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: Chiefs Lions tonight. It's the opening of school in Lichfield.

16
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: So I gotta see one hundred and thirty students today.

17
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: And it's on the Thursday.

18
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we do. We have like conferences the first

19
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: two days, so technically the first day school was Tuesday, and.

20
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: Teacher parent conferences the first two days.

21
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, like premium, so like get yeah, get to know

22
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: your conferences in the school, especially for the fifth graders

23
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: right because they're going from an elementary school to the

24
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: middle school, so they get to like walk around the

25
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: building without anybody really there. So it's for them. It's

26
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: really nice. For the older grades, I you know, it's

27
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: not probably as big of a deal, but it's a

28
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: good way to get two school days out of the

29
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: way without actually having school, so because it counts. So yeah,

30
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: so that's that's today, or that was that's two days,

31
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: so now it's actual school today. And then it's the

32
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: opening of the middle school football schedule, the first game today,

33
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: so it's just that all everything is today.

34
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: When I was preparing for this podcast, my first thought was,

35
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to hear Jacob's offensive playbook for the

36
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: Lichfield Dragon's middle school football team. And we can get

37
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: to that next week. Yeah, Game one recab after the game,

38
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: so we can hear how the game went, what they

39
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: play calls were, to hear the the details, because I mean,

40
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: you're a game tape guy, you know, you know you're

41
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: you're just deep diving into the all twenty two middle

42
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: school football man.

43
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: Yep, we'll just leave you. We'll just leave you with

44
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: this cliffhanger. If we beat and All tonight, I think

45
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: the score has got to be like six to zero.

46
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: Hey, win to win.

47
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, this group they I think they only won one

48
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: game in Tiger game last year, but every other game

49
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: they only lost by one score. So we could definitely

50
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: flip that. You know, it's the kind of team that

51
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: we could win five games, we could win one game

52
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: and just it's gonna be the details. So we'll see

53
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: how we are on those little details. Those drive killers.

54
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: I've been talking a lot about that this week. Can't

55
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: have the drive killers, right, the fumble that turned you know,

56
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: fumbled snaps, so now it's second and seventeen. We ain't

57
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: converted seven second and seventeen very often, right, you know, miscommunications,

58
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: wrong routes, not knowing you man, that's to be detail oriented?

59
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: Is that was our focus this week?

60
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: So are you kidding me?

61
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: Like like that sounds like what an NFL coach would

62
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: say before their game.

63
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Still, we've got to win the turnover battle. Yep.

64
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: Maybe if you have nothing to talk about one of

65
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: these weeks, you can just do a press conference, fake

66
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: press conference.

67
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Seriously, we might have to not because it's amazing to

68
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: talk about but just for fun.

69
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: Well, we always have to talk about Yea, it might

70
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: be a good bit.

71
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be great. So let's do this.

72
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: Let's start the Minnesota Vikings predictions. Game one on Sunday,

73
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: September tenth, versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a twelve o'clock

74
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: kickoff on CBS M Baker Mayfield's the starting quarterback for

75
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Favorable in my opinion.

76
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: I also have favorable. Yep, we'll talk a lot about it.

77
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: The schedules one of the hardest. I look the exact raining.

78
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 2: Most people have it in the top it's like the

79
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: top five I think for strength of schedule this year,

80
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 2: like the rankings, I don't know. There's we'll get to it.

81
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: There's there's a lot of games that I don't see

82
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: as uh, super formidable, but there's a lot of like

83
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty games that could you know. Again, it's

84
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: kind of like our Lichfield dudleical team.

85
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: Right.

86
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: I can see this Vikings team having double digit wins,

87
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: but if the wheels fall off a little bit, things

88
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: don't go their way, it could go south. So yes,

89
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: if they're going to be a formidable team themselves. They

90
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: got to have the bucks at home. That's got to

91
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: be a win.

92
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: Yes, I will share more later on my expectations for

93
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: the Viking season, but I think you'll feel it out

94
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: as as it goes on.

95
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: So we're both at one to know, right.

96
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: Want to know here we go? Want to know? Here

97
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: we go?

98
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: Game two Thursday at Philadelphia, seven fifteen on Prime Video,

99
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: which is everybody's favorite.

100
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I mean, you've got to go formidable on

101
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 1: this one.

102
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no ski out Thursday night at Philadelphia. I think

103
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: last year we had this exact same game. We got

104
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 2: our butts kicked. So yeah, it's formidable. Defending Super Bowl

105
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: attendees for the NFC, right, the NFC champs from last year,

106
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: I mean, not impossible to win, but yeah, you can

107
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: chuck that one up as a loss.

108
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: Last year.

109
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins threw like three picks in this game, three

110
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: terrible interceptions. One of them was on Justin Jefferson, and

111
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: I think we got crushed like twenty four to seven.

112
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: The score might have been a little closer. Well, it

113
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: would have been a little closer. There's no doubt in

114
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 3: my mind. If Kirk Cousins didn't throw three interceptions while

115
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: we were in scoring position in every single one of them. Okay,

116
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: so we're one and one for both of us. Game

117
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: three got a little bit of a break. Sunday, September

118
00:06:54,200 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: twenty fourth, versus the Los Angeles Chajes, twelve pm off

119
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: on Fox. Oh, this is a tough one. I'll say

120
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty. I'm gonna I'm gonna be a wost

121
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: since say fifty to fifty.

122
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: I don't think that's being a whist because the Chargers

123
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: weren't great last year. They have some guys right, but

124
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: they always have a lot of injuries. They have yet

125
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: to kind of put it all together, so I think

126
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: they're very They're kind of like a the Vikings of

127
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: the AFC a little bit where they have a high ceiling,

128
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: but they also have a low floor. So I think

129
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: they're a fifty to fifty game. Since it's at home,

130
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: I think Kirk Cousins outduels them a little bit, and

131
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: you know, it's probably gonna be a high spring game,

132
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: but the Vikings get it done.

133
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: Since it's okay, so you're gonna go two and one,

134
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: two and one, Okay, I'm gonna go.

135
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: One and two.

136
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: Okay, I have a bad feeling.

137
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: It's a fifty to fifty game.

138
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: I have a bad feeling about the Vikings Chargers game.

139
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: I mean, Justin Herbert's a beast and like, like you said,

140
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 3: they were a playoff team last year, but they had

141
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: one of the worst meltdowns ever against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

142
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 3: They're not the most best, but they're not the best

143
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: coach team in the NFL. The Chargers, you know, their

144
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: coach is kind of always on the hot seat, new

145
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: offense coordinator Kellen Moore. So yeah, there's a lot of

146
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: there's a lot to like about the Chargers, and there's

147
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: the roster when you look at it up and down,

148
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: is just stacked, Like there's no reason why they shouldn't

149
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: be one of the top AFC teams, but somehow every

150
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: single year they underachieved. So Week four at Carolina, new

151
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback number one overall pick Bryce Young versus Adam

152
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: and Adam Thielen on the Carolina Panthers twelve o'clock came

153
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: on Fox. I will say favorable in this one.

154
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: Favorable as well.

155
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: Yep.

156
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, even if it's a

157
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 2: road game, you gotta be a rookie quarterback like Bryce.

158
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: The defense is solid, but offense is not. So take

159
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: care of business.

160
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna be an easy win though,

161
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 3: in my opinion, I just I don't think it's gonna

162
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: be a go to Carolina. You take your business, you

163
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: crush them by ten.

164
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: To twenty points. I see that as a field goal game, mhm.

165
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: And honestly we saw it last year, right. But a

166
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 2: lot of the Vikings games I think will be dicey, right.

167
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: I don't think the forum is going to change that

168
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: much from last year where we're gonna just blow people out.

169
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: I think the way we saw it last year with

170
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 2: a lot, I mean, eleven to one score games is

171
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: a lot, but probably won't have that many. But you know,

172
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: there's still gonna be probably five, six, seven, eight, and

173
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 2: we'll just see what kind of we were eleven and

174
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: o last year. We'll see if we stay with a

175
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 2: favorable record, probably not perfect again, but at least if

176
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: we can stay above five hundred with those, we should

177
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: be an okay shape.

178
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: So Week five at home versus Kansas City a three

179
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: to twenty five start on CBS, so that's probably a

180
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: Jim nance Tony Romo game.

181
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: I will say formidable.

182
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: Yep, that's an easy one. Obviously, best team in the league.

183
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: Pat Mahomes, Yeah, probably a loss. That's what I marked

184
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: it day.

185
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you would think Travis Kelcey would be back

186
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: by that game. Who knows if he's going to be

187
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 3: one hundred percent healthy because of his hyper extended knee,

188
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: could be out on Thursday Night Football versus the Lions.

189
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: But I also.

190
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: Wouldn't put it past him at all if he played

191
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: against the Lions on Thursday Night Football because Kelsey just

192
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: seems like one of those rough and tough guys that's gonna.

193
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: Go on the football field with a broken leg.

194
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 3: That's just kind of like the the uh, the thought

195
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: that I have when I think of Travis kelce So

196
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: I got the vikings at two and three through Week five.

197
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 3: You have the vikings at three and two.

198
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm h correct Week six.

199
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: At Chicago twelve o'clock game on Fox. This is a

200
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 3: tough one. What do we expect from the Chicago Bears

201
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 3: this year? Justin field is a big question mark. Can

202
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: he throw the football? Obviously, he can run the football

203
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: like none other. The vikings historically have struggled at Soldier Field.

204
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: The Chicago Bears have a new wide receiver, DJ Moore.

205
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: I say, the Vikings have to have this game because

206
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: of what's coming up. So I'm gonna say favorable Vikings

207
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: are three and three after Week six.

208
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: Yep, I agree. The only aspect I would maybe tweak

209
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: with that would be I have it as a fifty

210
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: to fifty though, just because at Soldier Field, regardless of

211
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: when or where or how right, I just and at

212
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: Chicago game is always, almost always, almost always gonna be

213
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty game. So I did put as

214
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty game. I'm just checking I win

215
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: totals here once. I got one, two, three, four, so

216
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: that'd be a dub yep, yep double when I mean.

217
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: Let's go, okay, Week seven, Monday Night Football versus San

218
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: Francisco again, another team that's kind of a question mark

219
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: on Monday Night football. Rock Party was amazing in seven

220
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: games last year. But I'm going to say formidable.

221
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, see I put I went fifty to fifty

222
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 2: just because there's obviously the defense there. I mean, their

223
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: Nantcy favorites, so this might be a little Homery there's

224
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: something about and market it as an l so it's

225
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: one of those fifty to fifty games and actually moves.

226
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: But I do think there's a little more risk to

227
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers than people are giving them credit for.

228
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 2: You know, they just think rock Party, they just think

229
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: Brock Party is just gonna automatically be like a top

230
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: ten quarterback. It's like, I mean, as much as we

231
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: love the underdog story, right, thirty two teams, right, all

232
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: these professional scouts, these professional this is what they do

233
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: for a living. They said this guy wasn't worth drafting for,

234
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: you know, basically seven full rounds right of the NFL three.

235
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm pretty impact right, and I get.

236
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 2: They could all be wrong, but think about how I mean.

237
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: My point is, I don't think perty's a sure thing.

238
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: Obviously he had some fire in a bottle last year.

239
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: Maybe he recaptures that. I think he's somewhere in the middle. Right,

240
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: He's probably not as good as he was last year,

241
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 2: but he's probably not unstartable. So my point is, I

242
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: just think there's a lot more variance to the forty

243
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: nine ers than people assume there will be. The difference

244
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: is they have a defense, so defense keeps you in

245
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: every game. He doesn't have to be special. So I

246
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 2: have it as a loss still, but I don't I'm

247
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: not a huge forty nine Ers guy, just as in general,

248
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 2: for like to actually win, get to the NFC Championship,

249
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: win the NFC Championship, that kind of level. I think

250
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: they're a good division team. Thing more, I.

251
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 3: Would agree there's lots of risk with the forty nine ers.

252
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: So defensively they're they're they're buttoned up. But offensively, besides

253
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, those guys are legit rock purty.

254
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: He's got to prove himself.

255
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: Because he's he's only done it for seven games.

256
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're two best players. I mean they miss games.

257
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: McCaffrey and Samuel have not played a lot of games

258
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: the last couple of years either, so it's you know,

259
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: Kittle's already hurt and he's missed a lot of games

260
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: last few years as well, So it's just kind of

261
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: it's just risky. That's all just some risk.

262
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: Then Yeah, I like it.

263
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: I like it, but anyway formidable for both of us,

264
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: we or you said, fifty.

265
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: Fifty get a loss, leaning for sure, loss and leaning.

266
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: If there was like a fourth category'd be right there

267
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,239
Speaker 2: between fifty to fifty and formidable.

268
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay. Week eight at Green Bay,

269
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: a twelve o'clock game on Fox. I am going to

270
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: say formidable in this one.

271
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I am. I'm gonna say formidable in this one.

272
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: I think the Packers are going to be way better

273
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: than people expect. I think they are going to be

274
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: the underdog in the NFC North, specifically that people are

275
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: kind of overlooking because the big fancy quarterback is gone.

276
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: But I believe the Packers will be way better.

277
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: Than people expect this year. Yeah, unfortunately for US.

278
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: Yep, I have it as a fifty to fifty, but

279
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: I chalk that one up as loss. Yeah, they are

280
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: the fin or like Vegas is saying they're going to

281
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: finish third, right, they easily. I mean, I don't think

282
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: any of the three teams that are at the top

283
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: are head and shoulders above the other two. So they

284
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: definitely could be or will be probably in the mix

285
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: for the division title. It's just a matter of those

286
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: kind of fifty to fifty games. Anytime you go to Lambeau,

287
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: it's kind of scary. So I'm just marking that one

288
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: as an l Jordan love. I don't think is terrible.

289
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: Their defense is actually pretty good. We'll see they have

290
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: two second year receivers and a rookie as their main

291
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: three weapons and a rookie tight end. So that speaking

292
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: of risk again, right, you have a new quarterback who's

293
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: never been the starter, with two second year guys who

294
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: missed a lot of time last year, and then a

295
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: couple of rookies, So that part of it could unravel

296
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: pretty quickly where they don't have any reliable receiving options

297
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: but may not need them.

298
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, good point.

299
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: Week nine at Atlanta, a Sunday game at twelve pm

300
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: on Fox. I will say favorable the Vikings rally and

301
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: get a win at Atlanta, another close game.

302
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a blowout by any means.

303
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: Yep, agreed, agreed, And yeah, we mean that four game

304
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: stretch we just talked about. I mean that's a tough

305
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: stretch verse Chiefs at Bears, verse forty nine Ers Packers.

306
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: I mean that's those four games are all formidable or

307
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty. So then now it opens up for

308
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: the Vikings at least in my schedule. I mean, this

309
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: is the stretch they got to take advantage of. So

310
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: they got to set it off with a win against

311
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: the Falcons totally.

312
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 3: Week ten versus New Orleans on Fox at twelve PM game,

313
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: I will say favorable again. So I got the Vikings

314
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: winning two games in a row, going five and five.

315
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always mark one because I have favorable as well.

316
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 2: I always mark one favorable game as loss just because

317
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: you're not gonna win all the games you're supposed to.

318
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 2: So this is the one I peg because I think

319
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: Derek Carr and the Saints are going to be actually

320
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: not too shabby, and I think they're going to win

321
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: that division. I think they're going to need to win

322
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: that division. So I have them as the Saints. I

323
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 2: always seemed to in, you know, have we have interesting

324
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: games the Saints. I think the Saints are able to

325
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 2: get it done.

326
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 3: So I have the Vikings at five and five through

327
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: week ten. You have them, I think pretty.

328
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 2: Close before five five and five.

329
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: Yep, Okay, we're both five and five through week ten,

330
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 3: and people, I promise you we did not look at

331
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: each other's records before we started recording.

332
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: When we have everything like three different games that are

333
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: wins the losses.

334
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: So it's true.

335
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Week eleven at Denver, this is the same thing

336
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: for me as it was for you versus New Orleans.

337
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 3: This should be a favorable outcome. But because I think

338
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: the Vikings will lose on the road at Denver, I

339
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: think it's going to be a formidable game for the Vikings.

340
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: They are going to be five and six after the

341
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos game.

342
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't believe in the Broncos. I don't

343
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: think Russell Wilson has it. I think their defense is fine,

344
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: They're already missing some receivers. I think they have a

345
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: running back coming off in an ACL injury. I just

346
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: I think they're a year away from being interesting if

347
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: they replaced Russell Wilson. I don't think the Champagne's has

348
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: the magic touch. I don't think Russell Wilson's gonna suddenly

349
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 2: look good. It's not an easy game in terms of

350
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: it is at It's saying it's Sunday night football. Yep,

351
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: So that's that's It's a little dicey, but I have it.

352
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 2: I have it as a win.

353
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: I think Sean Payton will rally the Denver Broncos. As

354
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: much as Minnesota fans do not like Sean Payton, he

355
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 3: is a really good head football coach.

356
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: So I think that he.

357
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 3: Will revolutionalize Russell Wilson and and make something whatever of them. Yeah,

358
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: so at home Monday Night football the following week, Week

359
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 3: twelve versus Chicago seven to fifteen.

360
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of national games this year, Mike,

361
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: they do.

362
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: I will say favorable versus Chicago.

363
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: So the Vikings will be six and six.

364
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: Yep, favorable seven and six. Yeah, I think we have

365
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 2: what we have won two, three, four, We have five

366
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: to start with, five national TV games. That's a lot,

367
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: not counting like the Chiefs one that would probably be

368
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: mostly national TV on but yeah, that three o'clock game. Yeah,

369
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 2: but yeah, Thursday night, two Monday nights and two Sunday nights. Yeah.

370
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: So you have a favorable outcome for the Bears game too.

371
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: Yep, seven and five.

372
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: I got him at I have them at six and six.

373
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 2: Yep.

374
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: Week thirteen is they bye week. Lots of controversy in

375
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: this week. Never know what's gonna happen, so we'll just

376
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: skip it. I just don't even think we can predict

377
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: that it's just too tough.

378
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 3: Week fourteen, Sunday, December tenth, at Las Vegas, a three

379
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 3: h five start on Fox.

380
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: I will say fifty to fifty with a lean towards favorable.

381
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: So I will say the Vikings get it done and

382
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 3: are seven and six after Week fourteen.

383
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: Yep, I have a win as well. Another team that

384
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: I don't trust. I think another team that's gonna be

385
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 2: flirting with the bottom five draft pick. I don't think

386
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo is the answer. They have Devanta Adams, who's

387
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: getting old. I could see him requesting a trade into

388
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: the year. Josh Jacobs on a one year contract, he's

389
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: gonna be gone next year. I think the Raiders are

390
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: teetering very closely to a little rebuild. So I think

391
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 2: by week you know, fourteen this season, they're going to

392
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: be out of it. So I think if you play

393
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: them week one, it's a fifty to fifty. If you

394
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: play them week fourteen, it's going to turn into a

395
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 2: favorable game.

396
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: So good point.

397
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 3: Week fifteen at Cincinnati, he's last year determined. I tell

398
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: you what time to be determined, Television to be determined.

399
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it's nothing but formidable for this one correct.

400
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, yep. If the Vikings are decent, that'll be

401
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: like a Sunday night game. But yeah, at Cincinnati, obviously

402
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 2: another team that's one of the favorite teams to go

403
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: to the AFC Championship go to the Super Bowl. Joe

404
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: Burrow Jamar Chase, I mean, could they outdo them? Absolutely,

405
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: it's possible, but yeah, it's definitely a formidable and you

406
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: got to check it up as a last for now

407
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: and hope for the best.

408
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 3: My wife and I took vacation to Kentucky, to Newport,

409
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 3: Kentucky area where you saw on Noah's Ar, We saw

410
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: the Creation Museum, We walked around the Cincinnati Zoo because Newport,

411
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: Kentucky and Cincinnati are like right on the border, so

412
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: like you can literally walk across a bridge and be

413
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: in Ohio and walk across the other side of the

414
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: bridge and be in Kentucky.

415
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: So I spoke with Joe Burrow a little bit.

416
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: I asked him what he expects for the big Viking game.

417
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: You know, since I'm in Cincinnati, why not talk to

418
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 3: Joe a little bit? So I said, what do you

419
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: expect for Week fifteen versus the Vikings? And He's like,

420
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 3: Oh I want him. I want him bad. So I

421
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: expect Joe Burrow to come out blazing versus the Vikings

422
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 3: after our one on one conversation Week sixteen at home

423
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: versus Detroit. Oh man, this is a tough one. Everyone

424
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: expects the Detroit Lions to be better this year. A

425
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 3: lot of people are hyping them Vegas. He's hyping them,

426
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 3: And I will say, I'm going to say formidable on

427
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 3: this one, even though it's a home game.

428
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say formidable. I am not buying the Lions hype.

429
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: But I'm like ninety five percent buying the Lions hype

430
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: this season.

431
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: Yep, I get it.

432
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: I get it.

433
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 2: They're the technically they're the division favorite, just by a

434
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: little bit over the Vikings and over the Packers. So

435
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: I put as a fifty to fifty because it's home

436
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 2: and I have it as a win. But I mean

437
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: part of it is at the end of the day,

438
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: like I just I struggle with how good can it

439
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 2: be with Jared Goff in charge? Now I know Jared

440
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 2: Goff led the Rams to a Super Bowl, but that

441
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: defense was like the Rams defense was unworldly, like they

442
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: were insane, and the offense had Todd Gurley like he

443
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: didn't have to do. Like, I don't think the Lions

444
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: defense is there. I know the Lion's defense isn't there,

445
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: and even the Lions offense isn't really there maybe.

446
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: Hutchinson defensively, so they've got some weapons.

447
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: On defense, they're not bad. No, absolutely, they're not like

448
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: a rollover bad team. I mean, I just mean the

449
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 2: Rams were like as it as you can get on

450
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: defense basically, and then on offense they had multiple weapons

451
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: that were just And that's the part that they're probably

452
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 2: the closest. Right, they have Jamior Gibbs, who might be

453
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: good enough to be that difference maker. I'm on rust

454
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 2: and Brown seems legit. It's like, offensively, sure, they're probably

455
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 2: close to what GoF had. Defensively, they're just still short

456
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: of that mark. So I just I struggled to buy

457
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: the hype fully to your point, So I have as

458
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 2: the first one has a win the home game.

459
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 3: I noticed that your wife is about to leave, and

460
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 3: what are the odds your phone connects connects to her car.

461
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: Well, so she's taking the truck today, so when she

462
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: takes the car, it's automatic. Yeah, she takes the truck.

463
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll see because I don't know if

464
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: she's ever left with the truck while we're doing this.

465
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 2: That's new because we have.

466
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: A little bit. Let's risk it. Let's see what happens.

467
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 2: Well, worst case, you just edit me, just come back.

468
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 3: So yeah, okay, well, let's see what happens. It's very

469
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 3: exciting anyway, let's continue while we see what happens. Week

470
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: seventeen versus Bay, I will say favorable. Another NBC game

471
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 3: on Sunday night, I will say favorable for the Vikings

472
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 3: in this one. So the Vikings are five hundred at

473
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: this point.

474
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 2: Okay, and I put uh fifty to fifty the win

475
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: the home home game versus Packers. Got to have it,

476
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: so I would have it. Says one game better, I

477
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: believe nine and I lose track.

478
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. One seven yeah, okay. And the

479
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 3: last game of the season, Week eighteen, Sunday, January seventh,

480
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 3: at Detroit time to but time to be determined and

481
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 3: television to be determined as well. I will say the

482
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: Vikings get swept by the Lions for the first time

483
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 3: in forever this season and finish with a below five

484
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 3: hundred record eight and nine.

485
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: After going thirteen and four the prior season.

486
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: Okay, I have it as a loss as well, so

487
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: I was finishing at nine and eight, and this is

488
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 2: just kind of something the way the Vikings to a

489
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 2: couple of little quick points here. First of all, I

490
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 2: think the division is going to be tight. I think

491
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: why like ten and seven might win it. I think

492
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: that could be the Lions record, that could be the

493
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: Vikings record. I think that could be the Packers record.

494
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: Right.

495
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: I don't think any team is really is it possibly

496
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: they win eleven twelve games?

497
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: Sure?

498
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: Is it likely? I don't really think it's that likely. Secondly,

499
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 2: like in my mind, I was like, all right, I

500
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: think this might be your effort. I'm like ten to

501
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: eleven wins, maybe even twelve. Let's see what the schedule

502
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 2: looks like. And it is. There's just so many fifty

503
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: to fifty games where I just kind of trickled down

504
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: and ended up at nine to eight, just trying to

505
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: play the odds, right, And now, you know, it's sometimes

506
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: kind of boring just to be in the middle. But

507
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: I think that is where they might be.

508
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: Is right in that we lost them.

509
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 3: I cannot hear Jacob, we are having technical difficulties, the

510
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: truck has left the building.

511
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: Well do I hear you? Oh you're back, We're back.

512
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what you heard. But basically the point is,

513
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: I think the Vikings are capable of going a few

514
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 2: wins above this, right, eleven twelve, But it's more the schedule,

515
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: the likelihood, the more average, it's more likely they are

516
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: nine or ten win team. Even an eight win team

517
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 2: is definitely possible. So a lot of fifty to fifty games. Man,

518
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: you can't mess around this year and lose any of

519
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: those games you're not supposed to lose if you want

520
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 2: to be a serious team. Because again, eleven and zero

521
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: and one scare games last year, odds would just say

522
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 2: that's gonna come down totally. Doesn't mean that we're gonna

523
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: lose them, all right, But just even if we're, you know,

524
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: six and three, that's a whole different ballgame, right versus

525
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: being a leed to know.

526
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, and.

527
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: There's just an argument for people that want to say

528
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 3: the Vikings are gonna be just as good as last year,

529
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 3: because yeah, the offense should tech be better with Jordan Addison,

530
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 3: you're bringing Brian Flores, so the defense is more in

531
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 3: attack mode. But it doesn't work like that. Like, think

532
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 3: about the Denver Broncos last year. They're thinking they're going

533
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 3: to be a Super Bowl potential favorite here entering the

534
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 3: season because they brought in one of the best quarterbacks

535
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 3: in the NFL prior to joining the Denver Broncos, Russell Wilson.

536
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 3: Or Russell Wilson joins the team, then he has his

537
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 3: own office, then there's conflict, and they just completely just

538
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 3: fell off the face of the earth. So even though

539
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 3: the Vikings technically got better offensively and defensively, they're going

540
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 3: to regress just because you kind of always find that

541
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 3: middle ground. I do not think last year is duplicatable.

542
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: If that's a word duplicatable, I don't know if duplicate,

543
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 2: you can't duplicate last season. That is true that the

544
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: thirteen and four I mean, that was as fun. I mean,

545
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: we talked about it last year. That was as fun

546
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: as an NFL season possibly could be. Every single game

547
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: was drama, comebacks, fun, It was phenomenal. I mean, that's

548
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: the one thing that the season should be entertaining because

549
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: we have a good offense and we're probably still gonna

550
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: have a bad defense. So we're gonna be a lot

551
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: closer with those bad teams than we want to be,

552
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: but we're also gonna be able to keep up with

553
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: some of those really good teams and have kind of

554
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: those those duels, if you will. So, yeah, regardless of

555
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: what are you eating?

556
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: What are you eating right now?

557
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: A little oatmeal?

558
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: Well, oatmeal this morning? You put a little milk and

559
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: your oatmeal. I don't Oh is that a blow brown

560
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: sugar oatmeal?

561
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: Apple cinnamon?

562
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: Oh, that sounds good too.

563
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: I'm trying to I might be lactose and tolerant. So

564
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: we're gonna try going on a a little lactose free

565
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 2: diet for a few weeks.

566
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: Where did this come from?

567
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: Just you know, lost some weight and it's something connected

568
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: to the diet, So trying to figure out what it

569
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: could be.

570
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: M interesting.

571
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: Had a mcflury last night? Didn't go very well? So

572
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: you know what mcflurry?

573
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: Oh, mcflurry? Yeah, what kind of mcflurry did you have?

574
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: Holly thing's front of me. I like the Eminem mcflurry.

575
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, that's the best one.

576
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: That's what I said. But she's like that, what's the point.

577
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: It's just like Eminem's and ice cream and then they

578
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: just get really like rock.

579
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: Hard and they heard that is the point. Yeah, that

580
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: is the point.

581
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: She could and to be fair, she wants the Oreo one.

582
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: Ore Ones are great. Nothing against the Oreo mcflury or

583
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: Oreo Blizzard or whatever. Oreo is always a home run.

584
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: But I'm just kind of I'm just kind of an

585
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: eminem guy.

586
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got nothing wrong, but I love I'm a

587
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: big eminem guy too. That's the best one.

588
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 3: The only thing that could potentially be better than the

589
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: eminem micflury is if you go to Dairy Queen and

590
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 3: get Little Reese's pieces.

591
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Reese is always the home run for me

592
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: personally chocolate and peanut butter guy.

593
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's so good.

594
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: So anyway, here's a prediction for you, just a random

595
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 3: Vikings prediction. I hate to say this. Actually I don't

596
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: hate to say this at all. The Green Bay Packers

597
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: will have a better record than the Minnesota Vikings this season. Yeah,

598
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 3: that's my prediction.

599
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: I don't buy the Packers very much, but part of

600
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: their defense.

601
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: I don't really buy them that much either, But I

602
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 3: have the Vikings at eight and.

603
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 2: Nine, right, so right, it's not hard for the Packers

604
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: to go nine and eight. Yeah, absolutely, I get that.

605
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: So any other random Viking predictions you have d Kirk

606
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: Cousin's MVP, Justin Jefferson highest paid wide receiver in the

607
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: history of football.

608
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll that'll get done at some point. I'm trying

609
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 2: to think of anybody. Oh the one thing that I

610
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 2: think that not a lot of people are unnecessarily, I

611
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 2: don't think Madison's going to be like a three down back,

612
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: oh totally. And that's more fantasy, I guess, specific because

613
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: like people are trying to figure out if he's like

614
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: gonna replace Dalvin Cook, shoul they draft him as high

615
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 2: or whatever. I think it's we're gonna see a lot

616
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: of Tye Chandler more than people think. So that's one

617
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 2: that I feel like a lot of people are like, oh,

618
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 2: Madison's just gonna fill right in, and I like, well,

619
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: he will, But I think Chandler's gonna be in the

620
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: next a lot more than anything.

621
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: Totally. I think ty Chandler is way more explosive than

622
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison.

623
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: Right, And I think as the year goes on, I

624
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: could see it kind of flipping a little bit where right,

625
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: it's truly like a fifty to fifty or something like that.

626
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: You know, Madison will get the first crack at it,

627
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: but I think eventually Chandler might. You might not keep

628
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: him off the field.

629
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

630
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 3: So let's dive into Super Bowl predictions. This is a

631
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: tough one for me because when I'm looking around the league,

632
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 3: it's hard not to go to recent teams that made it,

633
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 3: like the Eagles, like the Bengals, like the Chiefs because

634
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,239
Speaker 3: they got the quarterback and their team should be just

635
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 3: as dominant, if not more dominant. But the likelihood that

636
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 3: the same teams make it back to the Super.

637
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: Bowl mm hmm, it's tough.

638
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

639
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: So who's going to be that team?

640
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 2: Let's think about this. But Vegas odds wise, so in

641
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: the NFC, right, the top three odds are Philly, forty

642
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 2: nine Ers, Cowboys.

643
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: Do you really like?

644
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: Do you really like it right exactly? Do you like

645
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 2: the Cowboys or the forty nine ers a lot?

646
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: Like?

647
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think they're that level of team. Yeah,

648
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: both perfectly. You know they're good teams obviously, duh, Right,

649
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: they're in the mix. I get it. But if you're

650
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: trying to pick, like an NFC champion as much as

651
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: boring as it is right, the Eagles are the like

652
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: the safest pick you could possibly have as an NFC champion. Again,

653
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: I mean, they added defense, which was already good. Their

654
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: offense should be. They didn't lose anything besides the running back.

655
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: But they have four co starters. I saw their depth

656
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: chart says so they got four. But honestly though, like

657
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: for their offense, they don't need a stud, right, they

658
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: just need guys that are healthy.

659
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 3: And they have stud wide receivers Davonte Smith, AJ Brown.

660
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: They've got guys around Hertz.

661
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: And Goddard is perfectly good as a tight end as well.

662
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't see if you're again playing if

663
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: you're not trying to be different for the sake of

664
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: being different. The Eagles are like the easiest NFC pick. Obviously,

665
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 2: could they lose, of course they could lose, right, somebody

666
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: could sneak in, and but I just don't know who

667
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 2: because it's not coming from the NFC North. You know,

668
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 2: it's not Vikings, Packers, Lions aren't making the Super Bowl

669
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: more than you know you wouldn't plan on it again, Cowboys,

670
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: it's not anyone from the NFC South. Right, you're not

671
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 2: taking the Falcon Saints.

672
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: What about the Arizona Cardinals.

673
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: It's not the Cardinals. M My point is basically, the

674
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: NFC is pretty weak. NFC North is going to be down,

675
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: NFC South is going to be terrible, and then the

676
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 2: NFC West has two teams that are going to be tanking,

677
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: and the Rams and the Cardinals more likely, and then

678
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: the NFC East has you know, a couple of okay teams.

679
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: Giants are okay, Washington might be a little better. But again,

680
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: it comes down to who else is there really, and

681
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: I don't see anyone that's my serious contender.

682
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 3: So it's really too tough that I don't have the

683
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: Vikings like thirteen and four, because if there was gonna

684
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 3: be a year that they make the Super Bowl, they've

685
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 3: really only got one team to get past in the NFC,

686
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 3: and that's the Eagles.

687
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's some obviously there's a few other decent team,

688
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 2: but yeah, your first run, I mean.

689
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, forty nine ers to theorytically.

690
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: Solid right in the Cowboys whatever, And you know Giants,

691
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we lost to them last year. Like

692
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 2: they're not they're not horrible, but it's just there's not

693
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: a lot of depth in this conference. So yeah, if

694
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 2: there's a year to be good, kind of like the

695
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: golfer said last year, an opportunity to really make some noise,

696
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 2: you know, for the Vikings, it would be this year,

697
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: and they certainly still could. They certainly still could. But

698
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 2: I just have to go Chock and go Eagles, just

699
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: because no one else matches the talent that the Eagles

700
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: have even close really.

701
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 3: And then so I'm gonna go with with the same prediction.

702
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: I'm just looking at the Cowboys schedule real quick to

703
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 3: see if there's any possibilities of them making it to

704
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 3: the super Bowl during the regular season, just like seeing

705
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 3: who they got. But it looks like they have a

706
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: tough regular season schedule. So I'm not gonna go with

707
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 3: the Cowboys either. I'm gonna go with Chalk Eagles AFC.

708
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna mix it up. That's a little disier.

709
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: You got the Buffalo Bills who are hungry, the Jets

710
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 3: who have Aaron Rodgers, the Cincinnati Bengals with Joe Burrow,

711
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers, who a lot of people think will

712
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 3: rise this season, Baltimore Ravens with Lamar and Jackson.

713
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: You could probably throw the Jaguars in there as somebody.

714
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: Who could there.

715
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've shown some ability.

716
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: And then the Chiefs.

717
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 3: So while you just stole a little bit of my

718
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 3: thunder because my pick was going to be the Jacksonville

719
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: Jaguars Doug Peterson. Seriously, I was gonna pick the Jacksonville

720
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 3: Jaguars to come out of the AFC with Doug Peterson

721
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: as their head coach versus this former team, the philadelph

722
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 3: the Eagles. You can already see the Super Bowl headlines

723
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 3: developing year. So I'm gonna go Eagles versus Jaguars and

724
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl and the Eagles win it with Jalen Hurts.

725
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: Yep, I got the Eagles AFC. I mean there's, like

726
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: I said, Like I said, there's a lot of different

727
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 2: directions you could go and it would be reasonable.

728
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: Right.

729
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 2: The Browns some people have you know again, the Jets

730
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: are kind of a rising you know, kid. I mean

731
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: their defense is phenomenal. Aaron Rodgers can he just be decent?

732
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: Right?

733
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: I like the Ravens this year, you know, I thought

734
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 2: about them. I do like the Chargers for a comeback

735
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 2: here justin Herbert was pretty bad last year. I don't

736
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: think that's gonna happen again. I think Justin Herbert is

737
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 2: gonna make them be a pretty good team. But I'm

738
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 2: gonna go with the Jets, as much as it stinks.

739
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 2: I think that defense is legit. The Jets offense should

740
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: be legit. They have two running backs. They have a

741
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: receiver hopefully they can find well, I don't hope for

742
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: but hopefully for them. Right they need another receiver kind

743
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 2: of step up. They have Aaron Rodgers who should be decent.

744
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 2: We'll go Jets, but I don't think they're a match

745
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: for the Eagles. I think the Eagles are the most

746
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 2: consistent and best team in the league, and I'm gonna

747
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: have them get back and you know, take one from

748
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. Yet again, those.

749
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: Are good predictions. I like it. I like Jets. Eagles

750
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: is a good super Bowl too, that's fun.

751
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be high rated.

752
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rogers hurts New York, big New York team. And

753
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 3: when's the last time a New York team made the

754
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. It's been a long time. Well, I guess

755
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 3: the Giants, I mean I guess it has been that long.

756
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 3: They beat the Patriots twice. Yeah, that's true. You Know's

757
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 3: what's crazy is that when you say, like, you can

758
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 3: relate to this because you're a teacher of middle school students, yea,

759
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 3: When you walk up to them and say, man, don't

760
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 3: you remember the two thousand and nine season with Brett

761
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 3: Favre And then they turn back to you and say,

762
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: I wasn't even born yet.

763
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: That makes me feel really old.

764
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 2: The students I have this year were born my senior

765
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 2: year of high school.

766
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 3: It's like they have no idea that two thousand and

767
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: nine season was even like and that was like what

768
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 3: fourteen years ago?

769
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: It's crazy. I know.

770
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 2: You got to catch yourself because you don't want to

771
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 2: be like, you know, our parents where it's like because

772
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 2: obviously think about when we were kids, right, our parents

773
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: would say things like the seventies was so insane. How

774
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: could you not say fran Tarkton is the best quarterback

775
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 2: of all time?

776
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: Right?

777
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: Seriously, Yeah, I'm exaggerating, but you know stuff like that,

778
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: right they you know, and now for the Twins, it

779
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 2: was actually true because they actually at least they won

780
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: two World Series. But right, they have stories like that,

781
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 2: and then we would roll their eyes, you know, roll

782
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 2: our eyes at it like, who cares? That was so

783
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: long ago. So I always try to check myself when

784
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 2: I don't talk about the past too much, because again,

785
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 2: like you said, they don't relate at all, and then

786
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 2: they don't care, and then it's like, who's that old

787
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 2: guy talking about things from ancient times when it was

788
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine.

789
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, let's hear it. Yeah, let's hear the

790
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert quote that you mentioned after.

791
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 2: I just like picking Rudy Gobert too. It's so easy.

792
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,959
Speaker 2: France goes zero to two and fieba right yeah, yeah.

793
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 2: And then that second game and that eliminates them from

794
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 2: like the play like the bracket or whatever, because it

795
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 2: was like the round robin games or however that works,

796
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: and they lost. He had nine points seven rebounds, and

797
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 2: talking about the lost, Rudy Gobert said, I gave it

798
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: my all.

799
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: Hey maybe he did. Maybe the rebounds just wearing bounce

800
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: into him. You know.

801
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 3: I mean, even even though you're seven to one, seven two,

802
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 3: they shouldn't necessarily have to bounce to you because you're

803
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 3: so long.

804
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: The stifle tower is the nickname.

805
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 3: You should be able to snag some rebounds that aren't

806
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 3: necessarily in your vicinity.

807
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: But hey, that's a good I like that.

808
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: It just makes for that because again, like his all,

809
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 2: I mean, the sad reality is his all is nine

810
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: points and seven rebounds, and that's just I don't know,

811
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 2: it's not the end of the world. That's just funny

812
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 2: that that's his peak, right, that's what we're really and

813
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 2: you can get yes, you can ask more rebounds, of course,

814
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 2: but just like at the end of the day, you're

815
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: getting a guy who can't really score and he just

816
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 2: gets a handful of rebounds and is good on defense,

817
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 2: and you know, we can't help France beat some bum

818
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: teams in the FIBA Championships.

819
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: So that's what he is.

820
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 3: Here's my quote comes from Chris Jones from the Kansas

821
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 3: City Chiefs. It's more so funny than stupid.

822
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: He says. Opinions are like buttholes. Everyone's got one, and

823
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 1: they all stink. I'm just asking for a raise.

824
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, I've said that one before. That's a good one.

825
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 2: Always funny.

826
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: That's the first time I've seen that, but.

827
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's always a good one. Yeah, because yeah,

828
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: excuses no one. We've said that in football before. Because

829
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: no one likes excuses.

830
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: Right, no excuses. Play like a champion.

831
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.

832
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,960
