Speaker 2: Game Review for about Mercedes Benz, Patrick Claybund back here
Speaker 2: with my dear friends Greg Rosenthal and Cynthia Freeland, who
Speaker 2: it's very difficult to kind of get differences in picking
Speaker 2: once the season goes on, because we learn more, we're
Speaker 2: starting to make the same picks. But we've still managed
Speaker 2: to differ just a little bit.
Speaker 3: Greg, I mean we tried to the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: I had a perfect week two weeks ago. Let's put
Speaker 3: up the standings for last week. Is that what you're
Speaker 3: trying to set me up for?
Speaker 2: No, I just wanted you to say that you guys
Speaker 2: are my friends and we occasionally have So here's here's
Speaker 2: what goes on. Greg has a one game lead now
Speaker 2: on Cynthia, who has a three game lead over me,
Speaker 2: and we're battling back and front.
Speaker 3: I think the important part is all of us have
Speaker 3: great records over the last two weeks.
Speaker 4: How about that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, we'll give you a diplomatic thing to say.
Speaker 6: For a guy who was literally being chased by security
Speaker 6: through the halls of NFL Network had to say.
Speaker 4: Let's cut that out.
Speaker 2: Oh so, Cowboys Niners a classic rivalry, much like the
Speaker 2: rivalries on this show. Lately, San Franz has gotten the
Speaker 2: best of Dallas. They've won the past three matchups, including
Speaker 2: last year when they dismantled the Cowboys forty two to ten.
Speaker 2: In Week ten, George Kettle had himself a day, grabbing
Speaker 2: three receptions for three touchdowns the Randy malstat line against
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. Teams meet up again Sunday night in Santa Clara.
Speaker 2: The forty nine Ers lost Brandon Ayuka last week to
Speaker 2: a torn acl Deebo Samuel statuses in the air.
Speaker 7: Did the Cowboys get it done coming off the bi Greg.
Speaker 4: I do not think so.
Speaker 3: You want to buy week to restart your program, but
Speaker 3: I think the forty nine Ers win this game twenty
Speaker 3: six to twenty. It's a familiar matchup because of the
Speaker 3: coaching situation in Dallas. Mike McCarthy had to be asked
Speaker 3: during the week in a public press conference, Hey, what
Speaker 3: do you think about your boss saying that you designed
Speaker 3: bad plays and that you have a bad scheme.
Speaker 4: I have never heard that from an owner.
Speaker 3: During the middle of the season, it started making me wonder,
Speaker 3: like if they don't win this game. With all the
Speaker 3: bad memories that they've had against the forty nine ers,
Speaker 3: they had the playoff loss, they had the blowout loss
Speaker 3: you mentioned last year. Patrick, I worry about what's going
Speaker 3: on here. They're not getting healthy on defense, the offense
Speaker 3: is stagnant. I think the forty nine ers still have
Speaker 3: enough talent and certainly enough scheme. I think they can
Speaker 3: overcome their injuries on offense with a week to prepare
Speaker 3: against this Cowboys defense, which has really been struggling.
Speaker 5: You have six points, I have seven points.
Speaker 6: I have twenty eight to twenty one, a few more
Speaker 6: overall points projected for me as opposed to you from
Speaker 6: Greg in this matchup. Why Well, I'm looking at this
Speaker 6: Cowboys defense, and I'm looking at their ability to give
Speaker 6: up Yak in.
Speaker 5: The passing game.
Speaker 6: They're just allowing guys to have tons of yards after
Speaker 6: the catch. This has been an interesting stat about brock
Speaker 6: Perty this year. He actually ranks last in terms of
Speaker 6: the yardage coming the percentage of his yardage coming from Yak.
Speaker 6: Where's for the past eight seasons that was a San
Speaker 6: Francisco thing. So I think that trend reverses in this matchup.
Speaker 6: And start to see that catch and run thing that
Speaker 6: we're totally used to from this offense come back big time?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 5: George Kittle? Sure?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 5: Deebo Samuel Sure?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 5: Everyone?
Speaker 6: The answer is yes, anyone that's playing, They're gonna have
Speaker 6: a good yacht day.
Speaker 7: I believe that they will have a good yack day.
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily see the high scores that you guys do.
Speaker 2: I have a lower scoring game, a slower pace game
Speaker 2: because the Dallas Cowboys still.
Speaker 7: Cannot stop the run. Greg mentioned the bye week.
Speaker 2: They had an entire offseason to figure out how to
Speaker 2: approach the opposition running the ball.
Speaker 7: Here's what they've done.
Speaker 2: They are dead last and rushing efficiency, dead last against
Speaker 2: under center runs, and dead last thirty two in three
Speaker 2: categories in design runs. Jordan Mason second in the league
Speaker 2: in yards and carries. Again, if they couldn't do it
Speaker 2: in an entire offseason, I don't know what the bye
Speaker 2: week is going to do. We are all aboard on
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers against the Dallas Cowboys. Nemaus get
Speaker 2: us Cowboys.
Speaker 3: There are no Cowboys fans left anymore, so they can't
Speaker 3: meme us.
Speaker 2: Both considered Super Bowl contenders coming into the season as
Speaker 2: where the Bill who made a new acquisition last week
Speaker 2: who had an.
Speaker 7: Immediate impact not pictured in there was a celebration. Ever,
Speaker 7: I going to hug Mark Cooper.
Speaker 2: Him like feeling uncomfortable at all the love coming from
Speaker 2: his teammates. The Bills are the Seahawks at Luomenfield, Josh
Speaker 2: Allen against Gino Smith Seattle coming off a big win
Speaker 2: in Atlanta.
Speaker 7: Do they keep that going at home?
Speaker 6: Cynthia, I think they keep it closer, But I still
Speaker 6: have Buffalo winning this matchup twenty five to twenty three.
Speaker 6: When I'm looking at Josh Allen this season and what
Speaker 6: he's been doing, let's just say the number two hundred.
Speaker 5: And eighty six.
Speaker 6: That's how many consecutive passes that Josh Allen has thrown
Speaker 6: without that other thing that happens. I know sometimes Buffalo people,
Speaker 6: we are Midwesterners.
Speaker 5: I'm a Midwesterner. They're Midwesterners.
Speaker 6: There.
Speaker 5: That's the highest compliment I can give you. You can't
Speaker 5: jinx it.
Speaker 6: So that thing that's the opposite of completing a pass
Speaker 6: but not incomplete anyways, that hasn't happened. It is the
Speaker 6: longest current streak in football. It is the longest streak
Speaker 6: in Bill's history.
Speaker 5: That has been a.
Speaker 6: Huge reason why this team is so great. And the
Speaker 6: quick passes that is where they've really gotten things going,
Speaker 6: especially on first and second day. That's going to continue
Speaker 6: because that is a one way to really target the
Speaker 6: Seattle defense.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't want to do that thing that hasn't happened.
Speaker 7: To quote my dad, that thing.
Speaker 2: There's three things that can happen when you throw the ball,
Speaker 2: and two of them are bad, and one of those
Speaker 2: is the thing that Cynthia is talking about that.
Speaker 7: We're not talking about.
Speaker 2: I also have a close Bills win twenty six to
Speaker 2: twenty five because of Josh Allen. The Falcons offense was
Speaker 2: an issue for the Seahawks in the run game, but
Speaker 2: in the passing game they were kind of limited because
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins isn't necessarily the most mobile.
Speaker 7: So you go from defending Kirk Cousins to.
Speaker 2: Having to deal with this guy out on the edge
Speaker 2: where he's number two in the league in passing yardage
Speaker 2: on the run that's running at over eight miles an
Speaker 2: hour and throwing the ball. He's also in the top
Speaker 2: ten in terms of scramble yards. I think that's tougher
Speaker 2: for Seattle. So I've got a Bills win here.
Speaker 3: Great, man, this is messed up because the Seahawks were
Speaker 3: three point underdogs last week.
Speaker 4: I picked them. I got it.
Speaker 5: I know that's how you got up on them.
Speaker 3: I just figured one of you guys would take him. Here,
Speaker 3: we have the same type of score, thread in the needle,
Speaker 3: A close Bills win twenty nine to twenty seven. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because it's like, kill your darlings. I love both these teams.
Speaker 3: I picked the Bills to win the super Bowl this year.
Speaker 3: It's partly because of the pass rush. So let's look
Speaker 3: at what Greg Russo and Ed Oliver and this whole
Speaker 3: group as a team is doing. They have a team passer.
Speaker 3: What we all have two point scores.
Speaker 5: I just thought that you were gonna like third person.
Speaker 6: Let's look at what Greg has said about Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 3: If I win the picks competition for a third straight year,
Speaker 3: I might start going third person all the time.
Speaker 4: But for now, I want to talk.
Speaker 3: About this defense because I do think against the Seattle
Speaker 3: offensive line, that's the difference. It shows that we don't
Speaker 3: feel that strong because we have the Seahawks covering all
Speaker 3: three of us the three point spread, and yet we
Speaker 3: don't have them winning.
Speaker 2: I think the biggest factor there is DK Metcalf's health,
Speaker 2: and yes, and if that was the other way, I
Speaker 2: would have been comfortable same picking the Seattle Seahawks instead
Speaker 2: Seattle Meme Away.
Speaker 7: Moving to the Eagles, they've been able to win two straight.
Speaker 2: Last week, Sinquan got some sweet revenge against his old team.
Speaker 7: He's done it again. The Eagles and Bengals.
Speaker 2: Once upon a time long ago, Burrow and LSU bested
Speaker 2: Hurts and Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl. They haven't met
Speaker 2: in the professional ranks yet, so this is their first
Speaker 2: time since.
Speaker 7: He's won three of their last four games. Who's winning
Speaker 7: this one.
Speaker 6: Cynthia, You know, I was a little surprised when I
Speaker 6: saw the outcome of my model in this one. But
Speaker 6: I have the Eagles just the one point win, twenty
Speaker 6: four to twenty three, in part.
Speaker 5: Because of that guy who we just saw. Do I
Speaker 5: think it's going to be one hundred and seventy six
Speaker 5: yards and a bajillion touchdowns in this game? I mean,
Speaker 5: it could very well be.
Speaker 6: However, I think it's more about the consistency on early
Speaker 6: downs so that Jalen Hurts has a chance to really
Speaker 6: do the thing that he does best, which is figure
Speaker 6: out all the different pass catching options that he has
Speaker 6: on every single down.
Speaker 5: I know that Trey Hendrickson is there. I know there
Speaker 5: are some o line questions in terms of health.
Speaker 6: However, Saquon running to the other side gives a lot
Speaker 6: of help to Jalen Hurts and the offense. So for me,
Speaker 6: it's the run game, in the stability in the run
Speaker 6: game that tips the scales in the favor of the Eagles.
Speaker 2: And we have a similar difference in terms of one
Speaker 2: point and a similar win in the Philadelphia Eagles. And
Speaker 2: it's side a similar reason because the Bengals run defense,
Speaker 2: while it has improved over the last few weeks, during
Speaker 2: this run not enough. I got the Eagles twenty one
Speaker 2: to twenty because I went to see just how much
Speaker 2: the Bengals run defense had improved over the past few weeks, considering.
Speaker 7: The fact that Saquan is coming to town.
Speaker 2: So weeks one through four they were dead last in
Speaker 2: rush defense success rate, and since then they've climbed all
Speaker 2: the way up to still being in the bottom ten.
Speaker 7: They've gone from the opponent being.
Speaker 2: Successful forty nine percent of the time to forty six
Speaker 2: percent of the time. I don't think that's enough against
Speaker 2: Saquon and company.
Speaker 4: Correct, I love me some home favorite, Just Greg, let's go.
Speaker 3: It has been a couple weeks actually since I had
Speaker 3: to do it, Just Greg, But I have the Bengals
Speaker 3: winning this game. I have them covering this game twenty
Speaker 3: four to twenty. I'm not feeling comfortable about Jalen Hurts
Speaker 3: in this Eagles offense right now because Jalen Hurts isn't
Speaker 3: feeling comfortable. I know they won twenty eight to three,
Speaker 3: but Fred Johnson, who's out there playing left tackle, is
Speaker 3: not starter level at the NFL level. This is a
Speaker 3: good Bengals pass rush. Even when Jalen Hurts has been
Speaker 3: protect lately. He's just kind of sitting there and waiting
Speaker 3: and you said, like trying to make a decision, and
Speaker 3: then he throws it to AJ Brown and that works
Speaker 3: pretty well.
Speaker 4: AJ Brown is just amazing.
Speaker 3: But I look at these two teams and I thought
Speaker 3: the pointspread was going to be higher in this game
Speaker 3: because I just think the Bengals are a better team
Speaker 3: right now than the Philadelphia Eagles, So I like them
Speaker 3: to win and maybe even buy more than four points.
Speaker 7: We'll see. All right, let's go from there.
Speaker 2: This guy or that guy Cynthia, which star more likely
Speaker 2: to have over seventy four receiving yards in this game?
Speaker 7: Is it aj Brown or is it Jamar Chase?
Speaker 6: It's both, but of the two, I think that Jamar
Speaker 6: Chase has more yards in general. While I'm looking at
Speaker 6: this opportunity here against the defense, and yes the Eagles
Speaker 6: they have upticked that sack number big time, I still
Speaker 6: think that this is Jamar Chase's yack. I mean, he
Speaker 6: said it himself this week. He's like, you know, he's
Speaker 6: gonna let let all of his performance do the talking
Speaker 6: for him for how valuable he is.
Speaker 5: Right, he answered it. You should google it.
Speaker 6: It's very funny, meaning pay the man, which is what
Speaker 6: they absolutely should and will do. But in this case,
Speaker 6: I think it's going to be around night yards. So
Speaker 6: I have a lot more than seventy four.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot of great receivers in this game. I
Speaker 7: think they should pay Jamar Chase.
Speaker 2: I think they should pay t Higgins because it's fun
Speaker 2: to see these guys on the field. At the same time,
Speaker 2: Bears are the commanders. Jayden Daniels has been dealing with
Speaker 2: a rib injury. If he can't go, Barcus Mariota gets
Speaker 2: the start. Who do you like in this potential battle
Speaker 2: of top picks?
Speaker 3: Grew Well, I like them both, but I like what
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams is doing with the up tempo Bears passing attack.
Speaker 3: I have the Bears winning this game twenty to seventeen.
Speaker 3: I'm operating under the assumption Jaden Daniels isn't playing. I
Speaker 3: would flip it if he is. But let's talk about
Speaker 3: that up tempo game. Caleb Williams in the last couple
Speaker 3: of weeks, including the game in London, was playing so
Speaker 3: fast and this is the part of the game where
Speaker 3: maybe a younger quarterback isn't having to think quite as much.
Speaker 3: You're dictating the matchups, and he's showing that he's very
Speaker 3: good at the line of scrimmage, being able to figure
Speaker 3: out and go fast, fast fast.
Speaker 4: Our friend Steve Weisch on the NFL.
Speaker 3: Daily podcast talk to someone within the organization and they said,
Speaker 3: it really took a few weeks to figure out what
Speaker 3: he likes to do.
Speaker 4: And Caleb Williams, he likes to go fast.
Speaker 3: We know he's accurate I mean, just look at that
Speaker 3: seamball there to Cole Comet, the weapons are all healthy
Speaker 3: coming off of a bye week, So yes, if there's
Speaker 3: no Jayden Daniels, I think it's a lower scoring game.
Speaker 4: And I like the Bears to win in that scenario.
Speaker 2: A similar situation where I agree, I appreciate Caleb's contributions. Again,
Speaker 2: a surgical magician literally doctor strange in that capacity, I've
Speaker 2: got a Bears win as well by two points for me,
Speaker 2: mainly because of the Bears defense. I recognize Caleb's playing better,
Speaker 2: but considering what this defense has done, and I think
Speaker 2: they'll be even healthier after the buy. Now, there was
Speaker 2: Nojakwan Brisker, Kyler Gordon as of Thursday, but rotational guys
Speaker 2: like Jacob Martin and Zach Pickens full participants as well.
Speaker 2: The lowest opposing quarterback rating allowed in the league, whether
Speaker 2: it's Marcus or Jayden. I think the Bears defense makes
Speaker 2: it tough and that gives me a confidence in a
Speaker 2: two point edge.
Speaker 6: Cynthia Well, I'd like to have a surgeon that's magical
Speaker 6: as opposed to a magician that's a surgeon. Anyway, either way, here,
Speaker 6: I'm taking Washington here twenty four to twenty three. I
Speaker 6: am operating under the assumption that we will see Jade
Speaker 6: and Daniels. I do believe that I understand that this
Speaker 6: is a rib injury, and I understand that's very painful.
Speaker 6: But I also know that he's got this one circled since,
Speaker 6: like last.
Speaker 5: You know, the very minute you.
Speaker 6: Walk down, like whenever we schedule released in.
Speaker 5: May, Revenge game not Revenge.
Speaker 7: But they doubted me.
Speaker 5: They doubted me. They thought I was number two. I
Speaker 5: thought all the world one. I felt, oh no.
Speaker 6: But I do think that this is an important one
Speaker 6: for him, probably emotionally. His coach has nothing but good
Speaker 6: things to say about him. When I'm looking at his
Speaker 6: ability to connect with Terry McLaurin specifically, I know you
Speaker 6: talked about how great those offensive backs are for the Bears,
Speaker 6: but you also talked about they're not practicing. They weren't
Speaker 6: practicing this week for Kyler or Gordon, for Jakwan Brisker.
Speaker 5: So Jalen Johnson is just one man.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: He can't patrol the whole field. And I do understand that.
Speaker 6: You know, the other guys have been great and stepped
Speaker 6: up in replacement, but This is a prime number, baby,
Speaker 6: and probably won't be by the time it starts, because
Speaker 6: I imagine it's gonna change a Ruski it. But you know,
Speaker 6: I think it's Washington unfortunately for Bears.
Speaker 2: All right, congratulations to the commanders. You get the first
Speaker 2: prime number of the day. That's the Drive to Excellence

Speaker 2: Terms and conditions apply. Colts and the Texans top two
Speaker 2: teams in the AFC South. When they met back in
Speaker 2: Week one. Houston won it by two, twenty nine to
Speaker 2: twenty seven.
Speaker 7: It feels like forever ago. What happens this.
Speaker 6: Time in Week A, Cynthia a Begger win for Houston
Speaker 6: is what I have forecast twenty six to nineteen in
Speaker 6: this matchup.
Speaker 5: I want to say something about how CJ. Stroud has
Speaker 5: been playing.
Speaker 6: I did a lot of homework on Stroud specifically, and
Speaker 6: he's kind of been like quarterbacking two point Oho.
Speaker 5: There's like three steps one. Step one, be really good.
Speaker 6: You don't necessarily need to be offensive rookie of the
Speaker 6: year good, but you do need to be really good.
Speaker 5: Step two.
Speaker 6: Then maybe what you're gonna do is you're gonna have
Speaker 6: defenses try to really have things that they do against you.
Speaker 5: Specifically, we saw it last week with the Packers.
Speaker 6: They didn't even blitz it, but they brought the heat
Speaker 6: with four or fewer pass rushers and that got to him.
Speaker 5: All right, now we learn something. Now it's c J.
Speaker 6: Stroud's turn to evolve into his next iteration of him.
Speaker 6: So all these bad things are seeing happen that is
Speaker 6: not gonna be the case in this matchup.
Speaker 3: I love that, and I love the Texans in general.
Speaker 3: I didn't like seeing all that negative c J.
Speaker 4: Stroud.
Speaker 3: You know tape, let's put something positive about the Texans.
Speaker 3: They win thirty three to nineteen, and it's partly because
Speaker 3: c J. Stroud's gonna hand the ball off to Joe
Speaker 3: Mixon and the offensive line that's so bad at pass
Speaker 3: protection doesn't have to worry about it as much.
Speaker 4: This is the biggest.
Speaker 3: Boom or bust offense, and especially boom or bust running.
Speaker 4: Game in the entire league.
Speaker 3: But when it's boom or bust, Patrick, what do you
Speaker 3: think happens against the Colts defense.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's the boom, it's boom.
Speaker 4: I mean Joe Mixon.
Speaker 3: He can have one, one, negative one and then he'll
Speaker 3: have forty And I think that's what's gonna happen in
Speaker 3: this game.
Speaker 4: Three or four different times.
Speaker 3: They end up racking up big rushing yards with those
Speaker 3: quick hitting runs where it really gets up the seam
Speaker 3: and I'm going thirty three to seventeen.
Speaker 4: It's a get right game for the Texans offense.
Speaker 2: All it's unanimous. I've got the Houston Texans as well
Speaker 2: in this game. A bounce back game, not just for CJ. Stroud,
Speaker 2: who had eighty six yards passing, but for Tank Dell
Speaker 2: as well, because when I think about the Colts, I
Speaker 2: think about Gus Bradley's defense going out there and having
Speaker 2: a similar type scheme and plan week after week after week,
Speaker 2: and Cynthia outlined you got to be a little bit
Speaker 2: different to get c J. Stroud off the edge and
Speaker 2: back in week one, there was a lot of Tank
Speaker 2: Dell getting involved. He also had two carries in the
Speaker 2: game seven targets. I know it's been a slow start,
Speaker 2: but I think without Nico Collins, this is the game
Speaker 2: for TANKDLL to come out there and have a big
Speaker 2: game against a division rival.
Speaker 7: More to come here on game debut. Up next to another.
Speaker 2: Big matchup for the top spot in a vision going
Speaker 2: down in Tampa. Baker in the Bucks versus Kirko Chains again.
Speaker 2: They scored a billion points last time. Who's ready to
Speaker 2: claim the South? Our answer right after this, Oh, that
Speaker 2: was the most fun I've had on a Thursday night
Speaker 2: since Baker Mayfield's epic win across the street at so
Speaker 2: Far Stadium a couple of years ago.
Speaker 7: That was a walk off win.
Speaker 2: In Week five for the Falcons against the Bucks. We
Speaker 2: got a big rematch Sunday for first place in the South.
Speaker 2: Tampa will not have Chris Godwin unfortunately, or Mike Evans
Speaker 2: who gets it done here.
Speaker 6: Cynthia Well, that shifted my score completely. I have at
Speaker 6: Landa winning this one twenty three to twenty. It's not
Speaker 6: great when you have to say, like these two guys
Speaker 6: who are everything to your offense are gone. But on
Speaker 6: the other side, you need to sit down for the
Speaker 6: stat I know drew our producer really likes it too.
Speaker 6: Do you know that last week was the first time
Speaker 6: in Bajon Robinson's career as a pro that he had
Speaker 6: one hundred or more rushing yards and a rushing touchdown
Speaker 6: in the same game that.
Speaker 7: I had no idea.
Speaker 5: That's wild, Like, I don't that's that's how a good
Speaker 5: mic drop thing.
Speaker 3: Anyways, he had security should be going after Arthur Smith
Speaker 3: for that.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's a wild stat It's pretty incredible.
Speaker 5: But this is the difference maker in this game.
Speaker 6: I think both defenses have some big question marks, but
Speaker 6: with all of those pieces missing on offense, the run
Speaker 6: game and the stability the run game can give you
Speaker 6: the ball control. It just means maybe he has another
Speaker 6: one hundred yard and one rushing touchdown.
Speaker 5: Wild that's the first one.
Speaker 2: It's something that we've been saying for most of this
Speaker 2: season that this is not the traditional run.
Speaker 7: Stopping Todd Bowles defense.
Speaker 2: I have Atlanta winning this one mainly again, it's a
Speaker 2: lot to overcome with the injuries, and the Falcons.
Speaker 7: Had that big win.
Speaker 2: With the entire facility available for Tampa Bay and now
Speaker 2: they go back in and this offensive piece is just
Speaker 2: hurt and including Darnell Mooney is back. Folks, you want
Speaker 2: to talk about a stat line on Thursday Night football,
Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney had sixteen targets. He had nine catches. This season,
Speaker 2: he has thirty two catches. Eleven of them have been
Speaker 2: on third down, third and Darnell is on the way
Speaker 2: for Tampa.
Speaker 4: Bayker, Okay, I think this is a tough one.
Speaker 3: I don't like when they play their whole season series
Speaker 3: within just a couple of weeks and it's over this
Speaker 3: the biggest game, and yet there's something about me. It's
Speaker 3: just a hunch that the Bucks get this wrong. And
Speaker 3: you might say you want more than a hunch, but
Speaker 3: let's go just Greg Nation, My hunches have been like
Speaker 3: one or two games better than these two over about
Speaker 3: a two hundred and eighty games sample size. So this
Speaker 3: is a pick against the Atlanta Falcons defense.
Speaker 4: Let's go to that. Let's go to the tape for
Speaker 4: some bad Falcons defense. They don't have anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the point, Like, it's not really much
Speaker 3: of a difference that I get like one or two
Speaker 3: games up on you guys, but I like to brag
Speaker 3: about it. The numbers are ridiculous for how bad this
Speaker 3: pass rush is dead last in the league in pressure rate,
Speaker 3: despite the fact that they blitz at the tenth highest
Speaker 3: rate in the league. So they're sending extra guys and
Speaker 3: they still get no pressures.
Speaker 4: You know how many sacks they have this season.
Speaker 3: Six, that's like a light day's work for Aiden Hutchinson.
Speaker 3: Give me a break with this pass rush. I think
Speaker 3: the scheme for the Bucks is good. Baker Mayfield's up
Speaker 3: and down. We're due for an up. Let's go Trey Palmer,
Speaker 3: Let's go Bucks defense. And I just think it. They
Speaker 3: don't deserve to win the division this early.
Speaker 5: The Falcons catch us stray. Why go to remind me
Speaker 5: that A Hudginson isn't playing?
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, yeah, that was well. He he's the guy
Speaker 3: with five or six sex in game.
Speaker 4: Just me worked.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyway, we're gonna sort everything out here and make sure
Speaker 2: everybody's okay.
Speaker 7: The team everyone looking up at.
Speaker 2: Right now, the Chiefs, of course, Kansas City the only
Speaker 2: remaining unbeaten. If you're wondering VIT's seeing Jack Jones going
Speaker 2: to the end zone. This is the last time they
Speaker 2: haven't lost a game since Christmas, and it was against
Speaker 2: the Raiders back in December, Antonio Pierce's squad win an
Speaker 2: arrowhead sucker punched. The Chiefs went in twenty to fourteen
Speaker 2: to Spight am O'Connell throwing for sixty two yards. Since then,
Speaker 2: mahomes squad has won twelve straight games, including a game
Speaker 2: where they hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. So that gets us
Speaker 2: too quick picks here on game debut, A big rematch,
Speaker 2: well big for one day between the Raiders and the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: A and O'Connell out with a thumb injury, so incomes Gardner.
Speaker 7: Will Gardner shock the world?
Speaker 4: Greg he will not.
Speaker 3: Chiefs win this game twenty four to thirteen with their
Speaker 3: new wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins getting it done for Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's not a huge package of plays, although the
Speaker 3: way he's been.
Speaker 4: In different offenses throughout his career.
Speaker 3: I would expect he's out there thirty forty STAPs and
Speaker 3: certainly in the red zone. Patrick Mahomes needs someone that
Speaker 3: can catch a ball in tight windows where he knows
Speaker 3: he can be accurate, and just his receiver is gonna
Speaker 3: make a play. Justin Watson nice player, not that guy.
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins definitely that guy. They get it done and
Speaker 3: they remember that loss to the Raiders. They do not
Speaker 3: want to let it happen again.
Speaker 2: So there it is Raiders fans, although maybe you feel
Speaker 2: the same way we do it this point, the Packers
Speaker 2: and Jags down in do ball.
Speaker 7: Green Bay has won three in a row. The Jags
Speaker 7: to play back to back games in London. They flow back.
Speaker 7: They don't have no buy Cynthia. Can they overcome that?
Speaker 6: No. I actually have a closer game than maybe you
Speaker 6: might think. Twenty six to twenty two for Green Bay.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at Jordan Love and how well he does
Speaker 6: when he doesn't get blitzed. I mean, the numbers are staggering,
Speaker 6: like one hundred and fourteen passer rating, eleven touchdowns.
Speaker 5: He's right up the top of the league when nobody
Speaker 5: blitzes him.
Speaker 6: And it's very unlikely that this team, because they're really
Speaker 6: The strategy for the Jags has been to sort of
Speaker 6: protect a lot of their secondary so you can't blitz.
Speaker 6: You can't leave them on that like less number situation
Speaker 6: when you got all these.
Speaker 5: Different pass catchers.
Speaker 6: So they're likely to not blitz a lot in this one,
Speaker 6: which means we're gonna get good Jordan Love not interception.
Speaker 5: Jordan Love. Packers win all.
Speaker 2: Right, Gregson got the score getting really SOLDI he's thirty
Speaker 2: seven to seventeen. They're the passers at the Broncos at
Speaker 2: mile high. Bryce Young starting for Carolina. A rough one
Speaker 2: as the youngster has to go against the number one
Speaker 2: passing efficiency defense in the league. That's why I've got
Speaker 2: the Broncos here eighteen to ten. But let's talk about
Speaker 2: that Denver Broncos offense, mainly Javonte Williams, who didn't get
Speaker 2: to finish an incredible performance against the Saints because they
Speaker 2: got the garbage time so early backups came in. So
Speaker 2: here's another chance for the tackle breaking monster Javonte to
Speaker 2: go up against a bad rushing defense in the NFC
Speaker 2: South for him to try to feast upon them. Time
Speaker 2: for us to seize the season presented by Caesars Sports Book.
Speaker 2: As we are looking at the Jets and the Patriots
Speaker 2: first touchdown score odds, it's three gents at the top
Speaker 2: breasts Davante and Garrett Wilson, followed by Ramandre Stevenson's not
Speaker 2: getting a lot of carries in the red zone specifically,
Speaker 2: and then Antonio Gibson. So let's discuss this big in
Speaker 2: some places. Matchup in Foxboro, Aaron Rodgers and the Jets
Speaker 2: have lost four straight.
Speaker 7: Do they turn it around? Cynthia?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Is it a turnaround?
Speaker 7: Do they beat the Patriots?
Speaker 6: They beat the Patriots twenty five to seventeen. It's a
Speaker 6: pretty big win by eight points. But I want to
Speaker 6: talk about DeVante Adams because when you trade for someone
Speaker 6: and you make this much noise about it, we absolutely
Speaker 6: need to break down his first game and he lined
Speaker 6: up in the slot on fifty what he played ninety
Speaker 6: six percent of snaps, so I guess his hamstring's okay.
Speaker 6: And he lined up in the slot fifty one percent
Speaker 6: of the time. That is actually the highest for him
Speaker 6: since twenty sixteen. Back we were all just children and
Speaker 6: he was playing in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers. What
Speaker 6: happened there, Well, he didn't really make much noise on either.
Speaker 6: He did get a bunch of a decent amount of
Speaker 6: targets in this game. However, I think that it takes
Speaker 6: a minute for all the chemistry to come back. And
Speaker 6: when you're looking at this defense, I'm sorry they're banged up.
Speaker 5: I don't think they're soft. I just think that they're
Speaker 5: banged up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes things take tom sometimes they take longer than
Speaker 2: two and a half seconds, which is how long it's
Speaker 2: taking Aaron Rodgers to get rid of the football, especially
Speaker 2: when he plays the team with a decent pass rush.
Speaker 7: He is not playing one. This week.
Speaker 2: The New England Patriots bottom ten in terms of pressure percentage.
Speaker 2: And you look back at these few games, look at
Speaker 2: the pocket for Trevor Lawrence to throw this deep ball
Speaker 2: to BTJ and Christian Zalis played a solid game, but
Speaker 2: it's hard to cover. Quarterbacks are able to just stand
Speaker 2: back there and throw the ball like this, and imagine
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers doing that. I don't have a big Jets
Speaker 2: win because I don't necessarily trust the Jets or think
Speaker 2: they're a very good football team eighteen seventeen, but I
Speaker 2: do think if you can't rush Aaron Rodgers, then it's
Speaker 2: going to be hard to beat Aaron Roch.
Speaker 5: Okay, so we seventeen's hilarious.
Speaker 4: We do have a memeller.
Speaker 3: It feels like eighteen seventeen, that's the last time the
Speaker 3: Patriots were good. But I have the Patriots covering, so
Speaker 3: you got that go And for you Patriots. Two of
Speaker 3: the three of us have you covering it's twenty four
Speaker 3: to twenty. Let's just talk about Drake May because I've
Speaker 3: heard talk in New England like, yeah, Drake May's playing well,
Speaker 3: but everything else is a disaster.
Speaker 4: Don't lose the forest for the trees.
Speaker 3: Like this organization, the defense, the head coach, everything's disorganized.
Speaker 4: None of it matters.
Speaker 3: Drake May is the only thing that matters about this
Speaker 3: entire organization. This season is a full on success. If
Speaker 3: Drake May is a real dude. I think he's a
Speaker 3: real dude. Through two games, he is looking like a
Speaker 3: real dude. Whether the coaches last or the teammates last,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter because finding a franchise quarterback is the
Speaker 3: only thing that matters.
Speaker 4: Drake May. I love you.
Speaker 6: I would like to put up a little meter of
Speaker 6: how many times do you sort of accidentally throw shade
Speaker 6: at me as a Lions fan who actually hasn't had
Speaker 6: a team that's been good in a long time. Eighteen
Speaker 6: seventy you're a Patriots fan. Okay, you got like all
Speaker 6: these rings on your finger from whatever that is?
Speaker 5: Two for you, sir.
Speaker 4: They literally won the Super Bowl like six years ago.
Speaker 4: So that's a fair point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so there it is. It's meme alert and
Speaker 2: Greg once again it gets to bemoan. Oh the troubles
Speaker 2: that he has seen as a fan. Oh, I'm sorry
Speaker 2: for the New England Patriots that sees the season. Presented

Speaker 2: in Miami to take on the Dolphins to a tongue
Speaker 2: Valoa expected to play, and that's the main reason I
Speaker 2: think he gets the Fins back on track with They
Speaker 2: win it by one, twenty one to twenty just because
Speaker 2: the offense looks so much different, guys, when it's to
Speaker 2: a tongue of Valoa back there playing quarter. In fact,
Speaker 2: let's remind everybody just how quickly he gets the ball
Speaker 2: into the hands of his playmakers. And yes, the reason
Speaker 2: that I didn't necessarily believe the Chargers were going to
Speaker 2: beat the Arizona Cardinals last year. Last week was because
Speaker 2: the Chargers don't make big plays. Well, I think Jalen Waddle,
Speaker 2: Raheem Moster, Tyreek Hill. I know it hasn't been this year,
Speaker 2: but traditionally those are three guys that can make big
Speaker 2: plays at Devon han In.
Speaker 7: I think it's a Finns win break.
Speaker 3: I have gone back and forth on this game more
Speaker 3: than any game all season long, and yet somehow I
Speaker 3: ended up on the Dolphins winning by ten points. I
Speaker 3: just feel like it's like a blowout either way. I
Speaker 3: think the Dolphins running game is why I kind of
Speaker 3: believe in Tua's return, because everything else about the Dolphins
Speaker 3: has been getting better. Let's to show the running game.
Speaker 3: Please don't look at me anymore. You guys are laughing
Speaker 3: that I made it a ten point win. Someone's gonna
Speaker 3: win this game in a blowout. They just feel like
Speaker 3: teams that are gonna collapse if they fall behind. But
Speaker 3: this running game over the last two weeks has been awesome.
Speaker 3: The last couple weeks, over one hundred and seventy five
Speaker 3: yards one ninety three against the Pats, one to eighty
Speaker 3: eight against the Colts, and the Cardinals rush defense is
Speaker 3: one of the worst in the league. So if the
Speaker 3: running blocking is getting going, everyone's healthy. Raheem Moster is back,
Speaker 3: Jalen Wrights playing great eight chan is there. I think
Speaker 3: that supports to a tugbailoa where he doesn't need to
Speaker 3: be the hero, and it's a great matchup against the Cardinals.
Speaker 6: Well, you have a huge win for the Dolphins and
Speaker 6: you have a very narrow win for the Dolphins. I
Speaker 6: will be Goldilocks and go right in between. I have
Speaker 6: Miami winning twenty five to twenty one in this one,
Speaker 6: and sneakily, this front for the Miami Dolphins has had
Speaker 6: a lot of pressure. Now it hasn't always resulted in
Speaker 6: a sack, but it's like almost forty four percent of
Speaker 6: the time they're getting after the opposing quarterback. Kyler Murray
Speaker 6: is a special type of different sort of dude back there.
Speaker 6: But I want to give this this defense a little
Speaker 6: bit more credit. And I also want to talk about
Speaker 6: Chop Robinson. I love his name, and he has the
Speaker 6: second highest pressure.
Speaker 5: Rate among rookie so that's fun.
Speaker 6: And when I'm looking at what could potentially happen in
Speaker 6: this matchup, I do think like we have, potentially, at
Speaker 6: least the season so far because of some other weird stuff,
Speaker 6: we've forgotten that the defense has gotten significantly better.
Speaker 2: And they needed Chop Robinson to hit because he was
Speaker 2: seen as that developmental guy where you come in and
Speaker 2: work on things.
Speaker 7: Well, he's getting product, so shout out to him.
Speaker 5: Maybe he's a surgical magician.
Speaker 7: He could be the best kind of magician.
Speaker 2: Tyreek said earlier this week, with Tua back, it's Thomas,
Speaker 2: strike up the band, start him in fantasy. We've been waiting, Tyrek,
Speaker 2: So let's do some maths, Cynthia. Will the cheatah have
Speaker 2: over eighty three receiving yards on Sunday?
Speaker 6: Absolutely. I don't know what noise cheatahs make, but I
Speaker 6: think it's like a lion. They'll were rorish cheatah kind
Speaker 6: of like chirpish. Okay, well they'll chirp. The cheetah will chirp.
Speaker 6: But ultimately, here I looked to find something that I
Speaker 6: could could kind of put my wrap my head around
Speaker 6: about this defense, and there aren't a lot of defensive
Speaker 6: backs who are doing things that would stop him.
Speaker 5: How about that, right, the yards after the catch.
Speaker 6: The speed, all of it, all the different locations that
Speaker 6: his coach gets him in. This feels like a big
Speaker 6: cheetah chirping game.
Speaker 3: So I was told by the producers I could chime
Speaker 3: in here. I'm going to use this time to ask
Speaker 3: for some fantasy help from the experts. It is my
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks in this game, Tua and Kyler Murray. I've
Speaker 3: been starting Kyler all year.
Speaker 4: Who do you go with?
Speaker 7: I would start Kyler for the rushing ups.
Speaker 6: I feel like, well, it's just the way that I guess.
Speaker 6: It would depend on how your scoring goes.
Speaker 4: But it is six points. Okay, we're getting too deep.
Speaker 4: Kyler Kyler. We like them both, but we like them both.
Speaker 5: They're both startable.
Speaker 7: Hey, joined me and Cynthia for NFL Fantasy lest coming
Speaker 7: up on Monday.
Speaker 4: From this room.
Speaker 7: Lamar and the Ravens looked amazing Monday night in Tampa.
Speaker 2: Will they keep it rolling Sunday against Jameis Winston now
Speaker 2: and the Browns or.
Speaker 7: Should they be on upset alert? Find out what we
Speaker 7: think after a quick break.
Speaker 2: Yeah, unless you've been I don't know if having a
Speaker 2: good time during the fall of the past eight years,
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson's arm does exist.
Speaker 7: The Ravens and Browns.
Speaker 2: Jamis Winston starting for Cleveland with Deshaun Watson out for
Speaker 2: the year. Baltimore won five straight of these matchups in
Speaker 2: the division. Do they make it six, Cynthia, they do?
Speaker 6: They make it six by seven points? Twenty six two
Speaker 6: nineteen is what I have in this matchup. I just
Speaker 6: want to take a moment for Lamar Jackson's arm. Just kidding,
Speaker 6: I mean, I am actually talking about that.
Speaker 5: But the play action.
Speaker 6: Passing has been a thing of beauty for him. And
Speaker 6: I know when you look at the stats, you're like, wow,
Speaker 6: you know the Browns defense is actually pretty good against
Speaker 6: play action. Oh no, no, this is not Lamar Jackson
Speaker 6: play action that they've faced to create those stats. So
Speaker 6: this is probably the last week that you're'd be able
Speaker 6: to get in on any good value for Lamar Jackson
Speaker 6: to be the MVP, if you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: and that knocking on what did happen? But if you
Speaker 6: want to get the value, it's probably the last week
Speaker 6: you'll be able to do that. A win seven points
Speaker 6: a good Lamar Jackson game, especially on play action.
Speaker 3: I love a good agreement between Cynthia and I. We
Speaker 3: both have a seven point margin which means we have
Speaker 3: Jameis Winston and the Browns covering the spread baby steps
Speaker 3: here that they keep it close.
Speaker 4: And it's because of Jameis Winston that I think it's
Speaker 4: going to be close.
Speaker 3: He comes in last week and he executes what I
Speaker 3: thought was the best offensive drive I really saw from
Speaker 3: a Browns quarterback all season. Let's his playmakers like David
Speaker 3: and Joku make a great touchdown and throw that was
Speaker 3: not a throw Watson was even gonna make on time
Speaker 3: to the outside there, getting Cedric Tillman involved, just ball
Speaker 3: out of his hand quickly. We haven't seen a lot
Speaker 3: of Jamis Winston, and we know that he's going to
Speaker 3: be aggressive. You said your model indicates that that adds
Speaker 3: some volatility. Might get really good, he might be really bad.
Speaker 3: At least it gives him a chance for a quarterback
Speaker 3: that's really good, which they didn't have a chance for
Speaker 3: for before.
Speaker 5: I miss Joe Flacco. I mean, I'm being a brown
Speaker 5: that was really fun last year.
Speaker 3: I think Jameis Winston actually can do a pretty good
Speaker 3: absolutely imitation of late career Joe Flack.
Speaker 2: Abolutely yeah, we do think it's a better quarterback situation.
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think that the Cleveland Browns are going
Speaker 2: to win this game. I do have them scoring over
Speaker 2: twenty points for the first time this season and getting
Speaker 2: a twenty five to twenty one Baltimore Ravens win. The
Speaker 2: reason I think they will score those points is because
Speaker 2: we could celebrate hal great Lamar and the offense have
Speaker 2: been Lamar's throwing for nine yards per attempt, But another
Speaker 2: good quarterback this season has been the quarterback that's playing
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 7: They're giving up eight point three yards per attempt.
Speaker 2: The second most passing yards in the league, and dealing
Speaker 2: with the other teams one is a huge issue.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 2: Of course, it's not my Kevin's or Jamar Chase or
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams.
Speaker 7: Those guys.
Speaker 4: Jerry Judy, Yeah, but it is Jerry Judy, and we'll
Speaker 4: see David and Joku.
Speaker 2: Because we Marlin Humphrey injury status, they get Jalen Armor
Speaker 2: Davis perhaps back this week, Arthur Maulette back as well.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna need to see it from the Ravens
Speaker 2: quarterbacks where I have a dominant win.
Speaker 7: Over any team in the NFL. We're not done going
Speaker 7: international quite yet here as we celebrate this meeting live
Speaker 7: for Munich.
Speaker 2: The Giants square off against the Panthers on NFL Network, Rive,
Speaker 2: Shine and watch Sunday, November tenth at nine thirty am
Speaker 2: Eastern only on NFL Network and NFL Plus. Subscription required
Speaker 2: for NFL Plus Premium.
Speaker 7: Is to get to another round of quick picks.
Speaker 2: Speaking of the g Man, they got the Steelers Monday night,
Speaker 2: Russ was cooking against the Jets.
Speaker 7: What happens here?
Speaker 4: Greg, I think the Steelers win this game.
Speaker 3: I think the Giants keep it closer than the points
Speaker 3: spread would indicate. But it's partly because Russell Wilson got
Speaker 3: so much credit last week for his wide receivers just
Speaker 3: making out rageous plays.
Speaker 4: It was almost annoying because I'm a I like Justin Fields.
Speaker 3: I was surprised they made this move, and I do
Speaker 3: think the offense maybe has a higher upside here if
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson keeps testing deep down the field in a
Speaker 3: way and using play action like Justin Fields wasn't. But
Speaker 3: let's be real, George Pickens making outrageous grabs. The tight
Speaker 3: ends are making nice catches. Friarmuth had that one hander,
Speaker 3: it would be perfect.
Speaker 7: If this is a nice ball.
Speaker 4: Hearing is no, that's a little nice ball.
Speaker 3: It's a nice ball, but it's like deflected and he
Speaker 3: kind of has to slow down. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: good balls. This will just mean it's a team sport.
Speaker 3: Here's the Friarmuth one hander. Just give some love to
Speaker 3: the receivers. Maybe this group is a little better than
Speaker 3: we taught.
Speaker 2: Yeah, celebrate all all the success there. Titans and Lions
Speaker 2: coming up in Motown. Cynthia squad winning four straight? Are
Speaker 2: they making it five?
Speaker 6: I have a ten point win for the Lions twenty
Speaker 6: eight to eighteen in this matchup. I need to give
Speaker 6: a little love to Brian Branch and Kirby Joseph. We
Speaker 6: don't necessarily talk about kind of safeties and defensive backs
Speaker 6: on teams who are picked to win by ten points
Speaker 6: or more, but I'm going to because this team, there
Speaker 6: are four guys in the NFL with has at least
Speaker 6: four interceptions, rarely only two that are on the same team. So, huh,
Speaker 6: put that in your pipe and smoke at Greg.
Speaker 3: I mean he might be a Defensive Player of the
Speaker 3: Year candidate right now. Brian, I mean you we also
Speaker 3: that was for.
Speaker 5: Taking shots at my Lions earlier.
Speaker 4: Y all support your line. I didn't take a shot
Speaker 4: at the well find that you place me in. Hutchinson
Speaker 4: is a great place, and then.
Speaker 5: You were like, oh, it's so hard being good Patriots man.
Speaker 2: The roar again. Restore it as it has been for
Speaker 2: a few years now. The Saints and the Chargers.
Speaker 7: Over there at so Far Stadium.
Speaker 2: Spencer Rattler expected to start again if Derek Carr can't
Speaker 2: go for New Orleans.
Speaker 7: I don't necessarily think that matters.
Speaker 2: I like the Bolts in this one by the grand
Speaker 2: high score of sixteen points to fifteen points, because we've
Speaker 2: saw Sean Tucker show up become the RB one in fantasy,
Speaker 2: Javonte Williams having a huge game, eventually able to sit
Speaker 2: out for most of the fourth quarter. And now this
Speaker 2: Saints run defense is going to have to see JK.
Speaker 7: Dobbins and the Chargers.
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna get some Kamani videll in this
Speaker 2: game as well, and they're gonna run the ball a
Speaker 2: ton and there's not gonna be a lot of possessions.
Speaker 7: But Greg and Cynthia have barn burners compared to me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what hilarious scores?
Speaker 4: This week.
Speaker 3: You know what, though, I like what you're what you're
Speaker 3: putting out there, Patrick, that it's under one score.
Speaker 4: That seven and a half points is a lot.
Speaker 3: The Saints are getting back five or six starters this week.
Speaker 3: They have the extra rest coming off through, so.
Speaker 5: They don't ever see Shaheed. You think MVS is gonna
Speaker 5: be like, all right, let's go.
Speaker 3: They got a couple offensive linemen their defense. Come on,
Speaker 3: I think I think the Chargers invite close games.
Speaker 2: With all due respect to Super Bowl champion Marquez Valdez Scantling, He's.
Speaker 7: Not Rashid Shaheed, but who is? Yeah, nobody not me.
Speaker 2: Sunday at nine am Eastern, Rich Eyes and Kurt Warner,
Speaker 2: Steve Mariucci, Cynthia Freeland and the rest of the crew
Speaker 2: get you set with NFL Game Day Morning. The guys
Speaker 2: tell us which NFC powerhouse has the tools to turn
Speaker 2: their season round. Plus Higgins and Raheem Moster joined the
Speaker 2: show live. Probably two best guests on that show. Sunday,
Speaker 2: nine am Eastern, right here on a NFL network. Time
Speaker 2: for write this down here on game debut. Some predictions
Speaker 2: for Week eight. Why don't you kick it off for
Speaker 2: the people?
Speaker 3: Okay, sometimes there's a pick. There's a game that I
Speaker 3: feel so strong about. We got to bring it back
Speaker 3: during write this down, and it's Packers Jaguars. Actually, that
Speaker 3: was a quick pick for you, so now I get
Speaker 3: to talk about it. I feel so good about the
Speaker 3: Packers in this game. Thirty seven to thirty seventeen is
Speaker 3: the number that I have, So that's twenty points.
Speaker 4: The spread here is only four. This is one of
Speaker 4: my favorite picks of the whole year.
Speaker 3: People thinking that the Jaguars are suddenly competent just because
Speaker 3: they played the Patriots. No, this is the thirty second
Speaker 3: defense in the league in total defensive efficiency.
Speaker 4: Matt Lafleur is gonna look.
Speaker 3: At these linebackers and look at these safeties, and he's
Speaker 3: gonna help Jordan Love pick them apart. I put the
Speaker 3: over under on Packers points around forty in this game.
Speaker 3: They're just gonna score so much they win by way
Speaker 3: more than four.
Speaker 6: All Right, Well, I'm gonna go to the game in
Speaker 6: Denver between the Panthers and the Broncos, and I'm gonna
Speaker 6: talk about bo Nix's rushing yards. He's gonna have more
Speaker 6: than twenty six of them. This guy's his EPA on
Speaker 6: scrambles is point nine to eight.
Speaker 4: That is a lot.
Speaker 5: So what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Actually, this could happen in the first quarter, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 5: So I'm looking at his opportunity in this game.
Speaker 6: And even though I don't necessarily think it's gonna be
Speaker 6: something where he's running late in the game to do
Speaker 6: anything crazy, I just think it happens in the beginning
Speaker 6: early often have his before halftime happiness.
Speaker 7: You can move on.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get them on this one, just like you
Speaker 2: did with Jamiir Gibbs, because bow Nix has more scramble
Speaker 2: yards than anybody, like anybody, and scramble opportunities.
Speaker 7: It's nuts.
Speaker 2: And I'm also gonna get some low hanging fruit. Shout
Speaker 2: out to my dear friend Marcus Scrampt who says that
Speaker 2: low hanging fruit tastes just as good. And for a
Speaker 2: reception for Mark Cooper, I think is a nice easy.
Speaker 2: It's like when you're walking down the street and somebody's
Speaker 2: got the orange tree inside of the fence and all
Speaker 2: of the oranges at eye level are gone. There's a
Speaker 2: clear line that shows you how tall the people walking
Speaker 2: down the street are because they just grab it. That's
Speaker 2: what I'm doing here because a Mari shows up. He
Speaker 2: has six catches for the Buffalo Bills, including a touchdown.
Speaker 2: I think he has a solid game in more more
Speaker 2: than three and a hal outs to.
Speaker 4: Living in California. We're just picking fruit off trees, the
Speaker 4: normal thing.
Speaker 7: That's that's what we do. We like security, Enjoy, Enjoy
Speaker 7: all those things. Join us next week. Enjoy all the games, folks.
