1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Your tune's about drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goals Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 2: It's a five star matchup because we're in We're good

4
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: evening Steeler Nation.

5
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 3: How we do it?

6
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: Well, that's good us to our number two here on

7
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: a Friday, as all eyes on Steelers Ravens and a

8
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: massive week fourteen across the National Football League. We are

9
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: going to get into both of those things as we

10
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: roll along here, Matt, but it is time for a

11
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: little five Star Friday, quite simply just a fancy uh

12
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: name to dress up a matchup segment here. Yeah, and

13
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: I do think I should preface this with something we

14
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: talked about a little bit yesterday, something we mentioned in

15
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: the first hour of the show. This doesn't seem as

16
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: x's and o's and matchups.

17
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 4: Struggling for it as it typically does.

18
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: I don't see a ton of individual this guy versus guy,

19
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: you know situations.

20
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: It's not.

21
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: Both teams are dealing with some significant injuries that create

22
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: questions there. Both teams have had some some you know,

23
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: legit roster turnover at legit positions, and so it's Aaron

24
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: Rodgers hasn't been part of this before.

25
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: Jalen Ramsey hasn't been part of this.

26
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: As you're saying before, both quarterbacks have injury concerns.

27
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: Those quarterbacks have injury concerns, and maybe that's kind of

28
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: maybe that's like the would be the first in a

29
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: weird way. Thing to highlight from matchup standpoint is, yeah,

30
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: they're not on the field at the same time. They

31
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: don't compete against each other. But Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson.

32
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, what versions of them are the former MVPs?

33
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: Which one can be the truest to their own form,

34
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: which version of themselves? Which one is going to look

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: the most like themselves and play the best on Sunday.

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: That's a huge, massive factor in this one.

37
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 2: And again not a head to head matchup, but kind

38
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: of a similar type juxtaposition.

39
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: Right Like if you told me I'm getting one hundred

40
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 3: percent of what Rogers can do and fifty percent of

41
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: what Lamar can.

42
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: Do advantage Steelers massive, Yeah, yeah.

43
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: Let alone, Lamar is the bigger wild card, Like, I

44
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: know Rogers can throw it as well as he's agree that.

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: You know where Lamar everything he does has been compromised.

46
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: You know, his accuracy is throwing is you know the

47
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: game planning for ability to run. But I do definitely

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: think and says some numbers to back it up, that

49
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 3: the inability to go under center was big for Rogers

50
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: and some of the handoffs stuff wasn't great. And you know,

51
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: ball security could still be an issue, ball fakes, things

52
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: of that nature too. And frankly, he hasn't played as

53
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: well as we know he's capable of playing too. You know,

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: neither one has, neither one is. Neither one has. You know,

55
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: Jackson's is a little more explainable.

56
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: And this is another matchup that isn't you know, Kyle

57
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: Hamilton versus DK metcalf like, although maybe that we should

58
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: probably talk some in that regard. But for both of

59
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: these offenses, the line of scrimmage in the run game,

60
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, whoever establishes there, whoever has more success there.

61
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry and that Ravens front Warren and gain Well,

62
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: and that Steelers front possessing the football, keeping their defense

63
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: off the field, taking things off of their quarterbacks play,

64
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: you know, by being able to run successfully, and how

65
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: much that would benefit both of these injured and.

66
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: Banged up quarterbacks.

67
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: That's another one that it seems like it's at the forefront.

68
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: Agree, And so the last several matchups against Baltimore, we've

69
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: seen Baltimore have a law of success on the ground.

70
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: You know one Henry was ripping them up when they're

71
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: keen on Lamar.

72
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: Last time these teams played eleven months ago. Yeah, two

73
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: nine rushing yards I mean basically three bills. Yeah, basically

74
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: Darnell Washington out there.

75
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: So I think this is like one of the best

76
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: and unique backfields in NFL history when they're both right. Agree,

77
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 3: I mean, Lamar's as good a running quarterback as we've

78
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: ever seen. Henry's a Hall of Famer. But there their

79
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: styles of running the football couldn't be any any different.

80
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: I mean, such thunder to be both at the same time,

81
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: more than.

82
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: Any backfield I can even think of, you know, TJ.

83
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: I mean whatever, be like if he gave josh Allen

84
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 2: Barry Sanders.

85
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, like someone totally different than you, which makes

86
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: it a nightmare, not to mention all the is he

87
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: holding it? Is he keeping his own read stuff?

88
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 4: All that killed the Steelers last time these two teams.

89
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm done with it is is I think we'll probably

90
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: find out, Although I think what you said to start

91
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: the show of Lamar might scramble for eight and break

92
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: your back at any point, even if you think that's

93
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: not part of them. But I would bet that they

94
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 3: don't do a lot of the zone read stuff. You

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: know that. I think you can hope you can at

96
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 3: least entirely key on Henry because it seemed like they

97
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: never had the right answer. They're keying on Lamar and

98
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: Henry's gashing them. They're they're keying on Henry and Lamar's

99
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 3: gashing them, you know what I mean. Like, you know,

100
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: no matter which side of the coin I pick, it

101
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: comes up the other side something that's on the Steelers execution.

102
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 3: But I would hope in this one, I'm just focused

103
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: on stopping Henry. Yeah, I'm gonna play this as if

104
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: Henry's getting every carry, you know what I mean, for

105
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: better or worse.

106
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: I think, at least the start that it should be

107
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: the mind he'll proven otherwise. Matt, we do have the

108
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: injury report. I want to I want to get to

109
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: that in just a second. But first, we know the

110
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: Steelers like to throw the ball short. We know the

111
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens in terms of EPA since they move Kyle

112
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: Hamilton and back up close to the line of scrimmage

113
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: have been the best in the NFL in that regard.

114
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: How do you get the ball to DK metcalf in space?

115
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: How do you get your tight ends involved over the

116
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: middle against the defense? That is so an area where

117
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: you've struggled against the defense who really accelerates in that realm,

118
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: Because even if you were able to run the ball successfully,

119
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: you still have to have somewhat of a threat in

120
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: that area.

121
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. So I really hope in this game,

122
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: in particular, that they run the ball a higher percentage

123
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: of the time unless they get down heavy on the shore,

124
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 3: you know, because in a way you can excuse a

125
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 3: way the sideways throwing that we've seen all year, Well,

126
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: that helps me get quick completions and helps my time possession, Yes,

127
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: but it doesn't establish the same thing. I mean, it's

128
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: kind of cheating off your buddy's paper, you know what

129
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: I mean. And frankly, I just think the quarterback might

130
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: just need to hold the ball a little longer and

131
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: wait for routes to develop eight to twelve yards downfield more,

132
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, they don't even have to be

133
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: in the middle of the field. It'd be nice, but

134
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: let's see some intermediate passing. I just it feels a

135
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: little Russell Wilson where it's either I am, I got

136
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: my putter or my driver. You know, you get the

137
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: irons out, you know what I mean.

138
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: Great analogy, Yeah, great analogy, and I I think you

139
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: need every club in that bag.

140
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and especially because are so good to eliminating.

141
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: The especially taking away right right, so you you better

142
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: not only be able to hit your driver, you better

143
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: have five.

144
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: Miles five would iron out or whatever?

145
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: You know, Look at you see, I mean you always

146
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: talking about how you're afraid to get into golf because

147
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: you'd get addicted to it and spending too much money

148
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: and throwing.

149
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: Out that not intelligently about it.

150
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: Here's what we got for the latest for the Pittsburgh

151
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: Steelers in the injury department. Kyle Duggar is out against

152
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: the Ravens with that hand injury.

153
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: Unfortunate.

154
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: They're so physicality would be good for this game as

155
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: well as tight end stuff.

156
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: And his physicality would have been very welcome.

157
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: And he's been as you you labeled it yesterday, he's

158
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 2: been a success story here.

159
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 4: Yes, that's a trade leader.

160
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: That's the trade, a trade that the Steelers would make

161
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: again ten out of ten times.

162
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: What's what they've gotten from him.

163
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: Wouldn't mind bringing them back, wouldn't mind, wouldn't mind certainly

164
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: him being in the fold next year. He will be

165
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: out against the Ravens. That's a that's a tough one

166
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: for this game and particularly for this opponent, and considering

167
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: how he had been playing. Calvin Anderson uh also ruled

168
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: out with a knee injury. Derek Harmon too, but we

169
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: are we do that on Tuesday. Kyle Duggar and Calvin

170
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: Austin both out hand injury for Dougger, knee injury for

171
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: the offensive tackle Calvin Anderson.

172
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 4: Although you want some good news, sure, Joey Porter Jr.

173
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: James Pierre, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Queen all no injury designation,

174
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 2: will play against the Ravens.

175
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: I think there was that those balls are up in

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: the air a little not on Rogers, but I mean I.

177
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: Was surprised that at least, you know, Patrick Queen and

178
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: Joey Porter Junior and Pierre, Yeah, questionable or probable or yeah.

179
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: I guess we're to the point where concussion protocol can

180
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: play its course and you can get through it. Sure, sure,

181
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: I mean easy for me to say, but maybe it

182
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: was a mild concussion.

183
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: I don't Yeah, I always wonder how that like that

184
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: to me feels a little bit like are you pregnant

185
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: or are you not right? Concussor No, one's a little

186
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: bit pregnant. You're either just either pregnant or you're not.

187
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: Either can cussed or you're not. But again, we're not doctors.

188
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: We don't like to uh cannonball into that deep end

189
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: very often. But yeah, good news for Pierre after being

190
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: a full participant Thursday.

191
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: He must not. We can at least say that. I

192
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: think he might not have any setbacks.

193
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 3: Well as you can. Yes, so I am curiously what

194
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: is and Samuel's usage looks like I would imagine Pierre's

195
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 3: your starter.

196
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 2: I would almost be shocked if he was. Yeah, yeah, him,

197
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: JPJ and Echols.

198
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: I think those are the three that you're gonna play

199
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: until further notice.

200
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: But I expect to see at least a noticeable amount

201
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: of asante Samuel Jr.

202
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe not.

203
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: A don't usually rotate.

204
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 4: That's a good point, Yeah, it's not.

205
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: That's why I'm kind of interested.

206
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, right now, if you had to set a

207
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: number over under on snaps that he plays.

208
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: Probably few ten, ten, Yeah, I mean, and.

209
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: Because that's what like at times Pierre's.

210
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: Getting picked on. I mean, that's the thing. He's gonna

211
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: have a shorter leash. There's times also wouldn't blow me

212
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: away if they're like, Samuel's really impressive. He's our starter now,

213
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: but Pierre's earned it.

214
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: I think Pierre's earned it. And I know Pierre has

215
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 2: earned it, yet we've seen we've seen him be one

216
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: of the lone bright spots I think on that defense

217
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: consistently over the last few weeks. I think I think

218
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: tennish eleven twelve is about right because that's kind of

219
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: what we saw. And I know it's different, same church,

220
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 2: different Pew that everybody loves it so much that I say,

221
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: and when I say that in the comments of Drabrol Peppers, yeah,

222
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: but it was kind of similar for him at times

223
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: when we were seeing him being used twelve snaps a game,

224
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: fourteen snaps a game.

225
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: I assume he'll be the starter now with Thugger out though,

226
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: And that's one potential bright spot for me is I've

227
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: been excited about Peppers and just haven't got a chance

228
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: to really analyze them, which might be tell you all

229
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: you need to know.

230
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: Is he the uh one man gathers what another man spills?

231
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: Is he the one who gets the biggest up uptick

232
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: this week in the absence of Doug.

233
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: Or assume so?

234
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 4: I would think I would assume so too. But I I.

235
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: They like shock me. They like Clark more than I

236
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 3: like Clark. I guess it is one way.

237
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: I think. I think everybody likes Clark more than you

238
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 4: like Clark.

239
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, back to the corner thing though, they never put

240
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: three receivers on the field though that also just kind

241
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: of dawned on me. Who you're playing too. You don't

242
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 3: need these.

243
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: Unless there's an injury or you know, a disaster performance.

244
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: Maybe it's under ten.

245
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 3: Steps, I mean, Ackles might not play a ton of snaps,

246
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: you know, Like it's just not a big corner opponent.

247
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: No, it's not.

248
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: And like maybe it's more so the you know, the

249
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: Miami Monday Night game next week where we see more

250
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: of junior offense like that that wants to spread you

251
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: out and attack everywhere. But that's what we know right now.

252
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: Dugger out, Calan Anderson out, Joey Porter junior, James Pierre,

253
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Queen all good.

254
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: So real quick on Anderson, Pete's going to be the

255
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 3: left tackle. I don't know who the swing tackle is.

256
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: I guess Cook, I guess would be Yes, okay, and

257
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: hopefully you don't need that guy at all, because other

258
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: Anderson is going to be the fourth guy. But I'm

259
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: talking about if if you were to lose Faltanu or Pete,

260
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: Anderson would have gone in Calvin injured Anderson. Yes, that guy, now,

261
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: I assume that would be Dylan.

262
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,479
Speaker 4: You're going to do any swing tackle something, somebody.

263
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: Else is gonna have to be active, yes, ice of

264
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: injury only, But yeah.

265
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: I uh, I think yes, I I I am. I

266
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: am certainly there with you that I think someone's gonna

267
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 2: have to be active.

268
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 4: I think it'll be Dylan cle It sounds like Chuck.

269
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: According to our boots on the ground reporters on Twitter,

270
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: it sounds like Chuck Clark's going to be the one

271
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: who gets the first crack at it against his former team. Now,

272
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 2: I'd have thought that We've seen times where Sligh was

273
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: introduced as a starter and then was still way out

274
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: snapped by Pierre. So maybe Chuck Clark's Clark starts, but

275
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: Peppers ends up playing more snaps than them.

276
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 3: I don't possible, but I mean Clark is a thumper

277
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 3: in the run game. You mentioned everybody likes Clark more

278
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: than me. I might just like Peppers too much. Oh,

279
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: it could be the other angle to that, because he

280
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: isn't seen the field much since he's been here. Maybe

281
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 3: he just hasn't been impressive. It's hard for hard to

282
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: judge that one's not on the field. It might be

283
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: told you everything you need.

284
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: In sure sure that that's gonna be another one, like

285
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: the tea leaves will tell us everything.

286
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 4: We need to know Sunday after Yeah, not even the

287
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: tea leaves.

288
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: Just the snap distribution and the and the and you know,

289
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: the the share there and how it's broken down between

290
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: those guys.

291
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 3: But I mean, they throw tight ends a lot, and

292
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: your strong safety is going to be very involved in.

293
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 4: That, very very very much so.

294
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: And they just gave one of those tight ends a

295
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: three year contract extension this week. And yeah, we know

296
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: how much Andrew's unlikely are likely to be a massive

297
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: part of their game plan.

298
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, twist.

299
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: My mustache as I say that one when we come

300
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: back here, let's take a look around week fourteen in

301
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: the National Football League. We'll do our traditional Friday around

302
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: the League segment. As we alluded to earlier in the week,

303
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: when I think it was Wednesday, we broke down the

304
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: different playoff scenarios and all of that. It's a lot

305
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: of massive Sunday for a lot of different teams across

306
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: the National Football League in terms of division races, wild

307
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: card races, playoff picture. We'll get some thoughts, some predictions,

308
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: all of that around the league when we return on

309
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: the other side. West Shuler, Matt Williamson. It is the

310
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: Drive on Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio.

311
00:14:52,760 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: Network, your tunes about Drive on your twenty five four

312
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: seven home of the Black and Goal, Steelers Nation Radio.

313
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: It is December, it is week fourteen. That road is

314
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: getting awfully narrow across the National Football League, and we

315
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: have got some very very important games to discuss. Of course,

316
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: that one last night that we talked about earlier, Detroit

317
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: forty four Dallas thirty. Good for the Lions, not out

318
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: of the woods, but in a much better spot. And

319
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: for the Cowboys borrowing a Christmas miracle. You can kiss

320
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: it goodbye on the twenty twenty five season in terms

321
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: of their playoff hopes, although I bet you they'll still

322
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: factor into that thing down the stretch.

323
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: Oh, they can still beat anybody.

324
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 4: They can still beat anybody.

325
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: They still have some big matchups against other teams that

326
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: are hockeying for playoff spots and seeds, and so I'm

327
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: sure the Cowboys will still play a role in this,

328
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: albeit very unlikely. As a postseason participant. You just hate

329
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: to see that Cowboys not going to the playoffs breaks

330
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: my heart.

331
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: I will say, like the Quinn Williams deal and the

332
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 3: stuff they did lately is really for next year. I mean,

333
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: they're set up really well for next year. They got

334
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 3: a ton of picks, so just draft defense like crazy.

335
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: Pickens will either get franchise.

336
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: Or I was gonna say, that's really kind of the

337
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: only big offseason thing for them.

338
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 3: But they get franchise them and pick them off or whatever. Right,

339
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: he won't leave.

340
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: I would be very surprised if he's not wearing that

341
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: star on his helmet, which.

342
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 4: By the way, I know Dallas.

343
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: I know their thing is like the white jerseys, right,

344
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: that's the Cowboys thing. Man, Those Navy blue ones with

345
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: the silver pants like they wore last night. Those are sharp.

346
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: I don't care about jerseys.

347
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,359
Speaker 4: I know that's that's for US millennials.

348
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: You don't look at anybody in the NFL go oh man,

349
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: that's a good look rarely.

350
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I like the powder blue Chargers back in

351
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 3: the day.

352
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm a I'm a big fan of the

353
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: Steelers obviously.

354
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 4: Look, I'm a big fan of the Raiders. Look.

355
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: I like those I like those Cowboys, those navy blue

356
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: ones they wore last night, those are sharp, man. Along

357
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: with I'm a huge fan, I think like everybody is

358
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: of the Atlanta Falcons, the old dirty bird uniforms and

359
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 2: throwback helmets that they were a few times a year.

360
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 2: They are at home Sunday at Beautiful Mercedes Been Stadium,

361
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 2: seven point underdogs to one of the best teams in

362
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 2: the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks. Matt Seahawks traveling east for

363
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: a one o'clock game.

364
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah right?

365
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 4: Can they continue to do what they do as seven

366
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 4: point favorites.

367
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: Their offense didn't have to do anything last week and

368
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: frankly didn't play that great.

369
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 4: But hasn't done much the last month. No, I've still

370
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 4: been rolling for the most part.

371
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: I'm definitely thinking Seattle in this game, though the road

372
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: stuff doesn't sway me at all. And I think Atlanta's

373
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 3: in a really bad spot right now. They're crumbling fast.

374
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: Same.

375
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: I would like this more if it was six and

376
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: a half as opposed to seven.

377
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: But it's a pretty big number for a home team.

378
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: But I but I still think with the way Land

379
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 2: is playing, with the way Seattle plays on the road,

380
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: no matter where they're at time zone, time slot, I

381
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: will I will lay the seven with the Seahawks in Buffalo. Hey, Cincinnati,

382
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: they're probably too far gone to get back into the

383
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: playoff conversation, but they had a big factor in the

384
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: playoff conversation Thanksgiving night by knocking out the Ravens or

385
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: knock yeah, by by knocking out the Ravens in Baltimore.

386
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: Now they've got a chance to go to Buffalo and

387
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: and and and put a knock into the Bills Sunday

388
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: at one o'clock. Buffalo is six point favorite at home

389
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: against Cincinnati.

390
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: I might take the points.

391
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 3: I'm jumping all over the points. I think Cincinnati is

392
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: playing pretty well. I've done some homework on them lately.

393
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 4: The defense has much improved.

394
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but defense doesn't stink anymore.

395
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: Albeit it was not a high bar to clear, right,

396
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: but the defense is much improved.

397
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's below average as opposed to being right.

398
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 4: It's just it's just bad instead of being a disaster.

399
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 3: And this might make Steeler fans feel a little better.

400
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: I mean, nobody was happy when Chase Brown ran all

401
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 3: over them the first meeting. But the Bengals run game

402
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: is second in EPA in the whole league since Flacco

403
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: took over, including Burrow.

404
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 4: So like that is impressively.

405
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Like they're they're offenses humming and Higgins is back.

406
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 3: As you mentioned, there might be like ninety point scored

407
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: in this game. I really think that these two quarterbacks

408
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: could This could be the most fun game of the weekend.

409
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 3: I'm definitely taking the points and I think the Bengals

410
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: could win by far.

411
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 4: The biggest over under weekend close.

412
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: Okay, just to paint the picture for you, the second

413
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: biggest over under of the weekend is Rams at Cardinals.

414
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: Forty seven and a Half's.

415
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 3: A reasonably a big number, of course, fifty three.

416
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: And a half wow, So it's it's a touchdown more

417
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: than the next than the next closest game.

418
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: And I assume they'll be I'm sort of weathering buff.

419
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 2: And I was just gonna say December at Orchard Park,

420
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: but that's still not enough to I.

421
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 3: Don't like either one of these defenses, even if they

422
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: are both playing a little better. But yeah, I love

423
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks, I don't like the defenses.

424
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 4: I'm with you on that. I do think Buffalo finds.

425
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: A way to pull it out, probably, but I think

426
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: Cincinnati's gon to give them all they can handle.

427
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 4: I'll take plus six.

428
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 3: I think this could. It wouldn't shock me have since

429
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 3: you won.

430
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: Staying in Ohio, although that game's in Buffalo. So let's

431
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: move to Ohio Cleveland, Ohio, specifically Huntington Bankfield Stadium in Cleveland,

432
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: where they host the Titans in what is not the

433
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: sexiest matchup of the week fourteenth slate. Pretty horrible but

434
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: at Brown's, Matt, You know how sometimes I like to

435
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: laugh at this. You could see like the lowest the prices,

436
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: the lowest get in ticket prices, you know, like for example,

437
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: Packers host the Bears this weekend. Right, cheapest cheapest ticket

438
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty bucks. Yeah, big time game tickets

439
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: as low as seven dollars in Cleveland this weekend. Far

440
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 2: cry from uh. Like Bob Labriola was telling us about yesterday,

441
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: the days of you know, eighty thousand people in an

442
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 2: exhibition game fighting for tickets.

443
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: It reminds me of like pen games you could get

444
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: in for like a buck, Yeah, scalpers or whatever.

445
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: You go buy a pepe and your can be a

446
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: free ticket and stuff like that. There would be there'd

447
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: be times Matt where it'd be like a Friday or

448
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: Saturday night and my dad would be playing a concert

449
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: and me and my buddy justin. I still remember this

450
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: like it was yesterday. We'd be thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, something

451
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: you probably couldn't do nowadays as a parent, no cell phones, nothing.

452
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 2: My dad would drop us off at the Igloo before

453
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 2: he'd go play his concert at Hines Hall. So he'd

454
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: drop us off at like six thirty, and he'd be like,

455
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: meet me right back here at nine thirty, like a

456
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: street court. I don't care if the game goes into overtime.

457
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 2: I don't care what happens. Nine And we'd go with

458
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: like five bucks in our in our hands and we'd

459
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: go get a hot dog at seven to eleven and

460
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 2: scalp a ticket and go into the game.

461
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: That was even like people cared about de pend r

462
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 3: I at age. You get in with that.

463
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: That was post LAMU Uh yeah, Matt, I told you

464
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: the Buffalo game the biggest, The Buffalo Cincinnati game biggest

465
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: spread of the weekend. I don't think it will surprise

466
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: you when I tell you that Titans and Browns by

467
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: far the lowest over under of the weekend. I meant

468
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: over and under there with Buffalo and Cincinnati. Part of

469
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: me not spread just thirty three and a half for

470
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 2: this one. Cleveland a four and a half point favorite

471
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 2: at home against Tennessee.

472
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 3: This actually has massive draft implications. I mean, right now,

473
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: Tennessee is the number one SPA.

474
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 2: If you're a fan of one of these two teams,

475
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: you might want them to lose this game, right.

476
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 3: I think you do, especially like well, if you're Tennessee

477
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: for sure, like you have a number one for Tennessee

478
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 3: would be great and hold a ransom.

479
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe you could trade for their two first round picks.

480
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett might set the record in the one too.

481
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: I think he only needs like two and a half.

482
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 4: Dan Mooyren Junior, can you do something for it.

483
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: But man, I think clearly the Browns defense is the

484
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: best unit times one thousand, oh without a doubt. I

485
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 3: can't have the Browns give points to anybody. I'll I'm

486
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: taking points.

487
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: If it's like two and a half or something like that,

488
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: it might be a different story. But are the Brown's

489
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: gonna beat anybody by five or.

490
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: More in a game that might be like eleven to ten.

491
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: I'm just glad you didn't say thirteen to nine. I'll

492
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: take the four and a half with Tennessee as well.

493
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: In Minnesota. Staying in the one o'clock slate, here the

494
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: Vikings and the Commanders, two of the better teams in

495
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: the NFC last year who have certainly taken a step

496
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: back and not having the year that they want to

497
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: have this year. This to me makes it seem like

498
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: Vegas knows that Daniels is gonna play, or maybe they're just.

499
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: Gonna announce like ten minutes ago, the guy.

500
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the Commanders are one and a half point

501
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: favorites in Minnesota on the road, and I'll take them.

502
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 3: I don't know what to expect from Daniels. It's just

503
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 3: the I just know what the quarterback situation.

504
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, the Minnesota quarterback situation. It's so bad, Matt,

505
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 2: I'm considering starting Romeo Dobbs over Justin Jefferson on my

506
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: fantasy team on Sunday.

507
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how bad.

508
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: I mean, got me zero points last week, my first

509
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 2: my first pick, like fifth overall, got me zero points.

510
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 4: And it's not his fault at all.

511
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm gonna lay the one and a

512
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 2: half with Washington as well. It's not even that I

513
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: feel confident about them, but I just that Vikings offense

514
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: can't do dittally right now. I can't believe that's over

515
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: under a forty three and a half.

516
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 4: I can't believe that's not down in the thirties.

517
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 3: Any Vikings game. Yeah, yeah, I mean Washington played much

518
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: better last week than Minnesota, did they did? I mean,

519
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 3: they're definitely not hanging it up.

520
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: Like Washington has not been a pushover. No, they haven't

521
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 2: been Cancun on three just yet.

522
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: Nope, Nope, No.

523
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see here, Let's go to East Rutherford, New Jersey,

524
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: where the World Cup draw just happened today. Favorable, favorable

525
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: off for the United States of America. Certainly we couldn't

526
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 2: mess this one up. Miami at the Jets MetLife Stadium,

527
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 2: where the World Cup Final will be played. I think

528
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: some point in July, maybe when we're all out in Latrobe,

529
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: we'll watch it at Sharky's together. Jets are two and

530
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: a half point underdogs at home, so Miami favored by

531
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: two and a half points in East Rutherford.

532
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 3: Jets are playing hard still too. I mean, I think

533
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: they're trying to.

534
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 4: Save These teams are and say, this is.

535
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: A game that Miami usually loses. Late division game. Yeah,

536
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: nothing to play old, you know, I'm gonna take Miami, though.

537
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: I think they're trying to save his job too. They've

538
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 3: played pretty well.

539
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: Lately, Matt.

540
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: This is one of the more surprising lines for me

541
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: of the weekend. In the sense of two and a

542
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: half point favorites, Miami is I thought that would be

543
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 2: more like four and a half, five and a half.

544
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 4: I think I'll lay the two and a half.

545
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: Like in the power ranks, I bet there should be

546
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 3: eight teams better, you know than the Jets at least, yeah,

547
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 3: at least like they could be middle of the pack

548
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: right now the way they're.

549
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: Playing, I will lay the two and a half with

550
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: Miami that it seems a little rat poisonous, like too

551
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: good to be true, but I'm gonna do it anyways.

552
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: New Orleans at Tampa Bay. Big opportunity for Tampa Bay

553
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: to take care of business against the team that they should.

554
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 2: With the Panthers on the by, that would give them

555
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: the full leg up. You know, it's the half game

556
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: advantage now, it would give them the full game advantage

557
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 2: if they take care of business, Matt They are tied

558
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: as the biggest favorite this weekend, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

559
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 2: eight and a half points.

560
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 4: Only the Rams is big of a favorite at.

561
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: Home, Tampa Bay, You laying eight and a half against

562
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: the Saints, are you counting on Tyler Shuck to maybe

563
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: keep it a little close?

564
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 3: I guess I'll take the Bucks. I don't love that number.

565
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: I do not like I thought it'd be more like

566
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 3: seven is. It's not even close to that neighborhood. But yeah,

567
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 3: I think the Bucks are getting healthier. I'm not sure

568
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: if Evans will play or not, but god Win and

569
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: Bucky are back to being themselves, which goes a long way.

570
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 3: That's game they need. It's a big number, I think.

571
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 2: I think I'm taking the plus eight and a half

572
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 2: with New Orleans. I just I could see them scoring

573
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 2: a eight touchdown something like that, you know, and Tampa

574
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: has been.

575
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: Uck's not bashful, I mean he's not. He is aggressive and.

576
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 2: Like they're they're another team kind of like Washington, you know,

577
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 2: despite only having two or three wins, like they haven't

578
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: set sail on.

579
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 3: The off season just yet.

580
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: They haven't been a pushover. And they've got a young

581
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback who's trying to prove that this is my job.

582
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 4: Don't draft somebody next year.

583
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: I like Tampa to win, but I'll take the eight

584
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: and a half with New Orleans. Big one Matt in

585
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 2: the a f C South Jacksonville hosting Indianapolis, the winner

586
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: is gonna have an inside track to lose or to

587
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 2: win the division. Part of me, the winner is gonna

588
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 2: have an inside track to win the division. The loser

589
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: is gonna be fighting with Houston and you know, trying

590
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: to to stay in the playoff hunt and in a

591
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: wild card spot one o'clock in Jacksonville, where the Colts

592
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: are a slight road favorite, favored by a point and

593
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: a half.

594
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 3: So you know how some divisions have those weird home

595
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 3: roads flits and stuff. Colts never win in Jacksonville. It's

596
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 3: never one of those fluky things, even when they're the

597
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: better team. It's just they never win.

598
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: Their Steelers never went in Chicago. Colts never win in Jacksonville.

599
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: And that's not a divisional matchup. But right, you get right.

600
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: I know the last time they won there, Andrew Luck

601
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 3: was their quarterback. I mean, and it was like Kobe Fleener,

602
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 3: I mean, like they were a bat. It was a

603
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 3: long time.

604
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 4: Ago, and there's been some bad Jags teams.

605
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, we saw like one Steelers, Browns, you know

606
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 3: what I mean, or Bears, Packers that we'll get to.

607
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 4: I'm sure here, Cardinals.

608
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 3: Right exactly, No Buckner, no sauce.

609
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: It's true. It's a big loss.

610
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 3: Played a lot better since Jacoby Myers has been there.

611
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: Now there's some Monday morning quarterbacking, but Kobe Myers have

612
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 3: been a good Steeler. Seen him in a new place.

613
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: I think the Colts are in a really tough situation.

614
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: Do me a quick favorite, dude, because they've played two

615
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 3: really difficult games. Now, this is a place they never win.

616
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 2: They've lost to Kansas City and Houston the last two week.

617
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: The rest of their schedule at Jacksonville at Seattle, hosting

618
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: San Francisco hosting Jacksonville at Houston.

619
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: My Lord, I don't think they're going to playoffs. I

620
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: remember we previewed Steelers Colts. It was like this team's dynamite.

621
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: They might be the one seed. Now they got a

622
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: quarterback with a broken leg sauce, they gave two a

623
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: picks for its hurt, and that schedule is awful.

624
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 4: Awful.

625
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, They do still have Jacksonville twice and Instant.

626
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 3: Super Key, so they need to win two of those.

627
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: Would I think they need to win two of those

628
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: Seattle and San Francisco. Hey, if you could split one, great,

629
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: But they're also the NFC games, so a little bit

630
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: of a different beast.

631
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: They're eight and four right now.

632
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: I mean, they could win or lose any of them,

633
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: but they're not in a great place with how they're playing,

634
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: and it's just tough game after a tough game, after

635
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: a tough game starting two games ago.

636
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: Of those five tough games, I think they need to

637
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: go at least two and three and win the right ones.

638
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 4: Like if they're ten and seven.

639
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: And they win the right ones, they could still have

640
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: some tie Jags, but they already lost to Houston. They

641
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: do play the Jags twice, but they already lost to

642
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: Houston once.

643
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 4: They did beat the.

644
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: Chargers, though, so they would have a tie breaker over

645
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: the Chargers.

646
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 3: That think the Chargers are super threatenings. The rest of

647
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: their schedules are so bad.

648
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: I'd say they did beat the Broncos, but that's not

649
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: going to help for a tie breaker, because the Broncos

650
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: are going to beat divisional champions. They lost to Kansas City,

651
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: if somehow the Chiefs are able to catch them, they

652
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: lost to Pittsburgh, if somehow they end up beating in

653
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: a wild card fight with the Steelers.

654
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: Funny brought the Chiefs and we'll get to them because

655
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: if they beat Houston, the rest of their schedule is

656
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 3: really favorable. That's how we were comparing them today on

657
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: a show was Colts and Chiefs remaining schedule night and day.

658
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: It's a it's a jeckyal and high difference, certainly taking

659
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: Jacksonville plus one and a half.

660
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm with you on that.

661
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: Uh In two the four o'clock slate.

662
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 3: Here de days one of the I'm not taking them.

663
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 4: One of disappointments.

664
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 3: No, I'm done with the Raiders of.

665
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: The National Football League season. They welcome the Denver Broncos.

666
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: There will be a ton of orange there at Allegiant Stadium.

667
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: Broncos get this mat second lowest over under of the week,

668
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: but a massive spread.

669
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 4: These ones always intrigued me a little bit.

670
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: The over under only thirty nine and a half points,

671
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: Denver a seven and a half point favored on the

672
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: road in Viva, So.

673
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 3: I never look at things this way. But my co

674
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 3: host had a really interesting observation about this game verse

675
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: Bears Packers. They like the exact same line. Denver's the

676
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: Raiders like the worst team in the league. Denver's a

677
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 3: two seed as we speak, so true, and Bears Packers

678
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 3: are like dead even big time playoff football. And they're

679
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 3: both like a seven point spread, Like, what's wrong? What

680
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 3: am I missing?

681
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 2: Something's not adding right, something's not adding up.

682
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think Denver blows anyone's doors off, but.

683
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: That is I would look at this and I think

684
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: it'd be more nine and a half ten and a

685
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: half Denver spread.

686
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 4: But they also they just don't really blow teams out.

687
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: They don't they win with defense and grind.

688
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 2: They win with defense and grind you out and wear

689
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: you down, and it's I.

690
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 3: Just can't take the Raiders. I think they're so hideous.

691
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: I will lay the seven and a half with Denver,

692
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 2: and like I said, if it was eight and a

693
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: half or even nine and a half, I'd probably still

694
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: consider doing it. HM, but I'm not putting any faith

695
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: in in Vegas and anything other than to be firing

696
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: some more people other than Chip Kelly once this season ends.

697
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of that game at Lambeau, a huge one for

698
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: playoff implications, Both of these teams in all likelihood going

699
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, I think. But who's gonna win the

700
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: division and get home home field advantage? Green Bay hosting Chicago.

701
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, great game, great game. Six and a half point

702
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 4: favorites are the Packers.

703
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: I I'm really warming up to Green Bay lately. But

704
00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 3: I'm taking the points.

705
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: I think both of these teams are legit playoff teams.

706
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: I all the kind of doubt about Chicago. I'm not

707
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: saying I think they're a super Bowl contender, but I

708
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: think they are a legit good playoff team.

709
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take you points.

710
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 3: I'm not taking point they run the ball.

711
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I you give me that Chicago team that's

712
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: one what eight of their last nine and playing really

713
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: well and has a talented offense that can run the ball.

714
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: You give me six and a half of those guys. Yeah,

715
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: I'll take it.

716
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 3: They're getting a little healthier on defense than when the

717
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 3: Steelers played him as well.

718
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

719
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 3: I wanted to throw this out too though, that I

720
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 3: think the MVP race is basically narrowed to May versus Stafford,

721
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 3: with Stafford probably having the edge.

722
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: I would just real quick, without thinking a ton about it.

723
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: That sounds right.

724
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 3: Love isn't far off. I mean, well, he's there's everyone's

725
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: a distant third, but no one even mentions him. He's

726
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 3: having a great season and unbelieve he has like three

727
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 3: interceptions all year. I mean he's playing just behind those guys.

728
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: He has been sneakily one of the better quarterbacks in

729
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: the NFL this year. Yeah, he's another one of those

730
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: guys that it feels like has done the level up thing.

731
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, And I think that'll be the difference

732
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: in a Green Bay win.

733
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 4: But I'll take six and a half for Chicago all day.

734
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: Speaking of great quarterbacks, my buddy just happened to text

735
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: our group chat Burrows eight to o in his last

736
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 3: eight starts.

737
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 4: Is he really Yeah?

738
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 3: The last eight games Burrow has been in, they've won

739
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 3: eight to all of them.

740
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what unbelievable.

741
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: Might be a good thing for the UH Steelers and

742
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 2: Ravens that Burrow missed so much time and it took

743
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 2: Cincinnati so long to stabilize their defense. Yes, in Arizona

744
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: it's the Rams. Tickets as low as just twenty dollars,

745
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: the Rams eight and a half point favorites against the Cardinals.

746
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the Rams just because they lost last week,

747
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 3: you know, like I think it is in the division game.

748
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: But they did not play their best last week.

749
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 3: It was announced today that Kyler Murray's not gonna play.

750
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray was out for the rest of the year.

751
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 3: Person's not playing this game. I think they've kind of

752
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 3: cashed it into and just not gonna beat people up.

753
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 3: Benson's not coming, hasn't been back. I don't if they're

754
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 3: gonn rush him back at this point.

755
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 2: And the Rams now they know if they want to

756
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: get that one seed, they've got no more room for air.

757
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 4: Follow into the Panthers last week. I'm with you. Eight

758
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 4: and a half is a big number for the road team,

759
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 4: big number for a road team.

760
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 3: I don't think Arizona's horrible despite their record.

761
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'll lay the eight and a half with

762
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 2: the Rams. That might be another one of those that

763
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 2: I would try and tease and get it down to

764
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: six and a half. But yeah, I feel confident that

765
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 2: the Rams come out and play very well and a

766
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 2: convincing victory against the Cardinals, and.

767
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 4: Then finally Sunday night.

768
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 2: It's right there with Steelers Ravens, right there with Chicago

769
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: Green Bay in terms of playoff implications. This weekend, Houston

770
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: at Kansas City an elimination game. Maybe they see it

771
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 2: certainly is for Houston. It's probably pretty close. Matt, This

772
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: one wild to me and I understand there's two huge

773
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: factors at play here.

774
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,479
Speaker 4: The first is it's a night game.

775
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, at Kansas.

776
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: Cost a lot of money to have season tickets.

777
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 3: Oh, you're talking about the cost to get in.

778
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: Cost a lot of money to have season tickets. Because

779
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: of that, it's a lot of older people who have

780
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: season tickets because they can afford them, and they don't

781
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: like night games. We see that in Pittsburgh, sell those

782
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: big correlation. Listen, I don't mean to die anybody out here, okay,

783
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna do it. That's like the with all

784
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,479
Speaker 2: due respect, but here comes me saying something disrespectful. Yes,

785
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 2: there was always gonna be a lot of Packers fans

786
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 2: at that game, because they're a massive fan base that

787
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 2: travels well and wanted to see Aaron Rodgers.

788
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 4: But if that was a.

789
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: One o'clock game, there wouldn't have been nearly as many old, old,

790
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: tenured season tickets Steelers holders that put their tickets up

791
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 2: because they don't want to go to an eight o'clock

792
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 2: game because it's too late. It's past bedtime and I

793
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 2: don't want to get home at one in the morning.

794
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 2: I would say, if that's your mindset, give up your tickets,

795
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 2: because that's part of the commitment. But different conversation for

796
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 2: a different time.

797
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 3: And I certainly understand the logic of I'm gonna sell

798
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 3: one or two to pay for the rest.

799
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 4: I don't.

800
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: But I'm also a sicko who believes in supporting my teams,

801
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:17,479
Speaker 2: and you don't.

802
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 3: I'm sure you never do that.

803
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: No, and we stink, we don't have we don't have

804
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: a fracture of the history that the Pittsburgh friggin Steelers have.

805
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 4: And also WU plays six home games a year. That's it.

806
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 2: The Steelers play eight maybe nine home games a year. Like,

807
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: you don't get to do this very often. And I

808
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: just don't believe in buying some I realize making money

809
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 2: and knocking the hustle and capitalism and all that, but like,

810
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 2: I hate people that buy concert ticket I'm gonna buy

811
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift tickets for face value in the ticket Master

812
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: lottery with no intention of going.

813
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 4: I'm just flip. I'm just gonna flip them to make money.

814
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 2: Like when I can't go to WVU games, I give

815
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: the tickets to my parents or a family member. I'm

816
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 2: not trying to sell them to make money. Like but anyways,

817
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: I digress. Just thirty five bucks you can get into

818
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: this one.

819
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 3: Wow. I thought it would be super expensive, and I.

820
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 2: Hugely think it's a combination though of older people don't

821
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 2: like night games. Yeah yeah, and Kansas City's played in

822
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: a bazillion kajillion big games. Like I get it with

823
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 2: their fan base being a little we're not that good.

824
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 4: It's December, it's cold, it's a night game.

825
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 2: I don't want to go, but I would still say

826
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: that that's pretty lame from Kansas City's perspective.

827
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 4: You've had the best team in the world for seven

828
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 4: straight years. Yeah, it's a crucial game show up for

829
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 4: your team. Don't throw those tickets online.

830
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: That's cold, and it's late and it's But again, not

831
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: everybody's as diehard of a dork as I am. I

832
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 2: get that Kansas City a three and a half point

833
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 2: favorite at home against Houston.

834
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 4: Houston's better, I think right now.

835
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a big Houston believer, and it all starts

836
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 3: with their d rushers, of course, and their defense. But

837
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 3: Chiefs have banged up tackles. Neither starter might play. They're

838
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 3: a line in general is a problem. They struggle against

839
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 3: man coverage, which Stingley, etc. Is going to be tons of.

840
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 3: I think their offense is getting better Houston's Kansas City

841
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 3: is missing something on defense, or an edge rusher away

842
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: or something like that. But there is this Mahomes back

843
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 3: against the wall. I think that's why the number is

844
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 3: what it.

845
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: Is, no doubt, and they as much as I've kind

846
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 2: of been critical of them these last few weeks, I still.

847
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 4: Get that they still earn that. They've earned that.

848
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 3: If this was Brady or you know, as.

849
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 2: Much as I don't agree with it, like I might

850
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 2: have Houston as a point and a half favorite.

851
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've earned it.

852
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: I almost said in a neutral field, I think Houston's

853
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 3: favored or at least to pick them, and I would

854
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 3: definitely pick them at a neutral field, and I'm gonna

855
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 3: pick him here with the points.

856
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 4: I am too.

857
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 3: I like what they're doing.

858
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 4: I like what they're doing.

859
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: I think the offense has vastly improved from where they

860
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: were in September, and I think the defense has been

861
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: one of the if not the best units in the

862
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: league the entire season.

863
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 3: We're a couple of buckeyeos today on City Houston to

864
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:03,959
Speaker 3: go to the super Bowl.

865
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 4: Woo, because it's still because it's crazy, yeah.

866
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 3: Right, I mean they're not even guaranteed to go to playoffs.

867
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 4: That's a good one. Yeah, you're not gonna win the

868
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 4: super Bowl to win the AFC to go.

869
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 3: I think the NFC is gonna win the super.

870
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 4: Bowl to win the AFC. Part of me, yes, but I.

871
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: Think the I think whoever the NFC representative is probably

872
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 3: gonna be.

873
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 2: That's where I would put my money right now, but

874
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 2: a lot can certainly change between now in early February.

875
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 2: But that's our thoughts on the week fourteen slate across.

876
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 3: The league, some huge ones, yeah, but.

877
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 2: The biggest of them all might be Sunday one o'clock

878
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: M and T Banks Stadium in Baltimore, where the Ravens

879
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 2: are now a six point favorite against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

880
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: We will predict that one, how it plays out, final scores,

881
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 2: all that on the other side. Before we get up

882
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,959
Speaker 2: out of here, Weshooler Matt Williams, and it's the Drive

883
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,959
Speaker 2: on Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network.

884
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: Your teams about Drive on your twenty four to seven

885
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal. Steelers Nation Radio.

886
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 2: Final segment of the week, final segment of this Friday,

887
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 2: and we have to give our final thoughts and predictions

888
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 2: for the Steelers and the Ravens, a massive one between

889
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: these two massive rivals. Before we do that, though, Matt,

890
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: we discussed the Steelers injury report earlier. Now we got

891
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 2: to do the you know, the good journalistic integrity thing,

892
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: fair and balanced coverage, and obviously we also want to

893
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 2: know what Baltimore's looks like, Yeah, there's.

894
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 3: A couple that are looming that I'm curious about.

895
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 4: And they got pretty good news.

896
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: Good on those everyone is good to go, except for

897
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 2: Tavius Robinson who was in that twenty one day window

898
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 2: and a Darius Washington who was in that twenty one

899
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 2: day window.

900
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 3: Okay, I know they were kind of hopeful watch, but

901
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 3: he'd be their for safety at this point too. I mean,

902
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 3: they good stuff to.

903
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 4: But like there was questions about Rashad Bateman, He's good to.

904
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: Gogangan's no injury status, full participant in no designation.

905
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 4: Uh, Travis Jones, the defensive lineman.

906
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 3: That's big, he's a big run stuffer.

907
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 4: Good to go.

908
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, good to go, Ronnie Stanley good to go. Uh,

909
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 2: devontees Walker good to go. Pretty good news for the Steelers,

910
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: I think, other than than Dugger popping up this week.

911
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 3: And yeah, both teams healthier than I would have guessed.

912
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 4: Very good news, Very good news for Baltimore.

913
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, you wanna make your pick first.

914
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not feeling great about it. I I think

915
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 2: I'm taking the I'm taking Steelers plus six.

916
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 4: I'll be upfront about that.

917
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 3: So I don't know if I've ever told you this,

918
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 3: but I have a rule. Did I just take the

919
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 3: points in this game? But anytime these two teams match

920
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 3: smart I was joking on my other podcast, I'm like

921
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 3: this games in two thousand twenty nine. Give me the points. Yeah,

922
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 3: twenty thirty five, give me the points. I don't even

923
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 3: know who's playing the coach right point, give me points.

924
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go, man, I am gonna take Baltimore to win.

925
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 2: I think that they've had better news in the health

926
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: department this week, and I think them being at home,

927
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 2: they just the last few times, and maybe it's because

928
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 2: I've been there, but it has not gone the Steelers

929
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 2: way the last couple of times we've stepped into that stadium.

930
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: And the only other time this season I picked against

931
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 2: the Steelers, they went and won the game.

932
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 4: So maybe there's some good juju there. Give me twenty

933
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 4: three to twenty Baltimore. Okay, twenty two to nineteen.

934
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 3: What is the current spread?

935
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 4: Something weird Ravens favored by six?

936
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,959
Speaker 3: Okay, because I actually have it as a six point game,

937
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 3: but it's fluctuated all week, like more than any of

938
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 3: the game.

939
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 2: That is, I'm gonna go TV for the graphic, I'm

940
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 2: gonna go something weird.

941
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 4: Give me twenty three nineteen, Baltimore.

942
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I should see a weird score, as much as

943
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 3: I hate to say it.

944
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, if someone ends up going for two or there's

945
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: a missed extra point or something wonky.

946
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 3: I could definitely see that. I picked it earlier in

947
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 3: the week. Twenty to fourteen. Spread is changed back and forth.

948
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 3: I'm always like, give me the points. I guess that

949
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 3: would be a push, so but I guess I still

950
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 3: would take the points. I think the Ravens are playing better.

951
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: They're not the Ravens of old.

952
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 4: I think the rest advantage is key for me in

953
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 4: the sun.

954
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I really as many snaps as

955
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 3: a Steeler defense, and the time of possession and just

956
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 3: getting run on and the defense being on the field

957
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 3: for a million plays just a few days ago. I

958
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 3: think a rest advantage in their building with a physical game,

959
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 3: no matter what, is going to be a physical game.

960
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 3: I think that's a big problem. And it doesn't the

961
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 3: practice reports don't indicate this, but it makes me wonder.

962
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 3: Could Lamar start to looked like Lamar with you concerned

963
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 3: about that? Yeah, it just seems like that would be

964
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 3: just our luck, you know, the kind of thing, right,

965
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: and frankly, I mean cheers, I'm played well. I mean

966
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 3: they're coming off a terrible game.

967
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 2: Back to back, right right right, and yeah, and I

968
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: realized Baltimore didn't play well, but at least they had

969
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 2: a few extra days to flush.

970
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 4: That and and and get right and yeah, at.

971
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 3: Least from some wins together against not great teams before that.

972
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 2: Long, well, Matt, the only other time this year that

973
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 2: you and I have both picked the Steelers to lose.

974
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 4: Was the Colts game.

975
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 3: Said, I've been very bad with my pick.

976
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: And yeah, you and I both thought the Cowboys would

977
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 2: take uh take steer particular.

978
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 4: Steelers in particular, I thought they.

979
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 3: Sneak went out against the Bills. You know, I mean

980
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 3: I've picked the wrong last couple weeks on that. Well,

981
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 3: hopefully hopefully I'm wrong.

982
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 2: Hopefully we're picking wrong when we're back here on Monday

983

Speaker 2: to recap this thing. But you do know we will

984
