0:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back.
0:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Listeners, I've strictly biased with yours truly.
0:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Will rather for I am joined out here at Stage 22 it is absolutely beautiful.
0:14
[SPEAKER_01]: On the actual stage, yes.
0:16
[SPEAKER_00]: On the actual stage, I am joined by, I guess that really needs no introduction.
0:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the machine behind the center on this board for Fort, and that would be Greg Williams.
0:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So Greg, come in.
0:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you very much.
0:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
0:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for your support with Greg Mendel.
0:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, yes.
0:30
[SPEAKER_01]: But yes, thank you Will.
0:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm honored to be your co-host.
0:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You are the machine that makes it happen.
0:35
[SPEAKER_00]: We today are going to dive into some NFL conversation, we're going to start out by a new segment that we have called five winners and five losers.
0:45
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to then do our NFL picks.
0:48
[SPEAKER_01]: When you say five winners and five losers, you're talking just teams, you're talking players, you're talking.
0:52
[SPEAKER_00]: We're talking anything encompassing the NFL.
0:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Gotcha.
0:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be just kind of based on reactions to things that happened in the NFL realm.
1:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And it will follow into different sports, but right now we're fully focused on football.
1:09
[SPEAKER_00]: we are going to also give our week to NFL picks uh this year we have something new we are what myself i am competing against 15 other media members in the central sports report network to and from around the state on their picks and we are going to see how i go up against the other members of the media so uh this
1:31
[SPEAKER_00]: pretty good week, seeing the board pretty well, I wouldn't say it's great, but for week one, you don't really know what teams are actually like.
1:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel good about some of the picks I made.
1:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I was awfully silly on a few of them as well, and then just to follow up, lastly, we are going to be talking about our reaction to the Colts game on Sunday, just giving a little preview towards that, and we are super excited to talk to everybody.
1:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Greg, I've got a lot to say, but first, what do you want to know?
2:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you probably know what I wanna know and is that, are the cold scoring to win the AFC South?
2:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that I'm way more on to that idea than I was just a week ago, it was a week ago I couldn't imagine I would have felt this way.
2:16
[SPEAKER_00]: With that being said, Jacksonville did also look pretty good in their debut.
2:20
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a pretty steadfast win over the Panthers.
2:24
[SPEAKER_00]: They look like they have the chance to be firing on all cylinders, but both teams have big tests this week as far as you're going to learn, okay, are they real?
2:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville plays the Bengals?
2:34
[SPEAKER_00]: the Colts play the Broncos and the Texans are still going to be in that conversation.
2:38
[SPEAKER_00]: That was always going to be a defense of so good.
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, a bloody defensive game.
2:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Both of those teams have really good defenses as far as the rest of the quarterback you're going to be a good game.
2:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I can confidently say that the Titans, I think are out of the conversation.
2:52
[SPEAKER_00]: They look pretty bad, but yes, I do think they're going to win some games.
2:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Colts absolutely have a chance to win the AFC Southnut is not something that I would have said a week ago.
3:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they have the best roster in the division.
3:05
[SPEAKER_01]: You do.
3:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that they have...
3:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, now that we've seen Bordellini and Gonzalves through a rookie year in a game one, and we've seen what the defensive backs have done.
3:19
[SPEAKER_01]: We've seen with the use of Anoromo with Quitty Pay and Latu will see on that.
3:25
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I really think this might, I think they might have the best complete roster in the division, but you know what?
3:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It still makes them at best.
3:34
[SPEAKER_01]: the six best team in the AFC.
3:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree with that.
3:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that it's comfortable to say that the Colts have entered the realm of conversation as far as early risers as far as their performance on week one.
3:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I do love how the defense worked.
3:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved Kenny Moore kind of in a Swiss army night for all.
3:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought he was great.
3:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel great.
3:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Even Nick Cross.
3:51
[SPEAKER_00]: They looked awesome.
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Cross was great.
3:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a downhill player.
3:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the fact that
3:57
[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't making 12 tackles, which is great.
4:00
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a huge issue last year as far as the defensive line and linebackers.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: But we know they're getting tackled.
4:05
[SPEAKER_01]: We need to get to backfield, Kim, too.
4:06
[SPEAKER_00]: They can tackle well.
4:07
[SPEAKER_00]: We learned that last year.
4:09
[SPEAKER_00]: They turned the ball over.
4:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And they just played, they played really sound defensively.
4:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I love this Anna Rumo, kind of a nigma defenses, going to change and be variable.
4:18
[SPEAKER_00]: great offensive mind in Sean Payton and Denver.
4:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to learn more about his defense.
4:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're going to see adjustments.
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to see changes and I think that every week of the defense is going to look a little different just by sheer nature of their opponent, which is something that, wow, I mean NFL teams do adjust.
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you'll see base defenses as far as just where the bolts are playing.
4:41
[SPEAKER_00]: change a lot too.
4:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you saw Gus Bradley was not really a guy that changed his defensive schematics at all.
4:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He played formations.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He was pretty strong with the 4-3 defense and I don't know if I'd always bowed and well to the cults playing style in the players that they had on the roster so you're gonna see
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I just like not seeing cup cover too high.
5:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't know.
5:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I like not seeing just, uh, you know, vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla vanilla
5:26
[SPEAKER_01]: The only question is, what happens when they play a good offense?
5:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're, I think that we're going to see a test as far as a good offense this week.
5:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it a good offense?
5:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it a great offense?
5:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's yet to be determined.
5:38
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think they are a good offense that will put points up.
5:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So we are going to do our first new segment as far as five winners and five losers right now.
5:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope everybody enjoys it.
5:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to get feedback on if people think it's good, people think it's bad, we know.
5:55
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll just.
5:56
[SPEAKER_01]: We always suggest that's one of our philosophies at the Central Indian Sports Report.
6:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of which, can I write you a theme song off the top of my head?
6:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love one.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it'd be a great addition.
6:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Five winners and five losers with will, of the third.
6:14
[SPEAKER_00]: TJ McConnell asks us what that was.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So, my winners.
6:18
[SPEAKER_00]: You have no idea.
6:20
[SPEAKER_01]: goes on in this brand.
6:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, honorable mention winner not on the five so I guess it's not just 500 or five leaders because there are a couple honorable mentions I just want to talk about but my my first winner is Mike McDaniel's realtor because he will be moving.
6:34
[SPEAKER_00]: He is not going to be in my Emmy any longer.
6:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of surprised he lasted the week.
6:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they looked really bad and they just they just look like a team that's lost.
6:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a feeling they're not that bad.
6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they're that bad either, but I just see his experiment my Emmys time will be over.
6:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see them being able to win their division and they look just bad all the way around.
6:57
[SPEAKER_00]: It really hard to make an argument for him as a some elite NFL head coach after that performance.
7:04
[SPEAKER_00]: The fifth winner, Chris Boswell's wallet.
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: He has been in a holdout with the Pittsburgh Steelers over a few million dollars.
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And he earned his money as far as that 60 yard game winner in New York in a tough kicking environment.
7:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He also had a 50 yard early in the game.
7:19
[SPEAKER_00]: The toughest kicking environment there is maybe.
7:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, numbers was.
7:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And Chris Boswell has done nothing but winball games for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
7:26
[SPEAKER_00]: The chance was going in.
7:27
[SPEAKER_00]: For years.
7:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's any chance he was making it?
7:30
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're a team that can't say I think we can find an extra million for our kicker after you just did that you're fooling yourself He's one of the best in the league pay that man Number four Pete Carroll's resume Is Vegas just gonna be good because he's their coach like that team just have pretty good roster awfully gritty and Jim is not bad no he looked a really comfortable really good He's what Daniel Johnson be aspiring.
7:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely After a microphone malfunction
8:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Gino is great.
8:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that that's absolutely what Daniel Jones should be inspiring to be I think Gino's a much better passer of the football than Daniel Jones as far as pushing it down field I think a little bit more but Gino can still play in today's NFL even at his age Gino's gotten better every year.
8:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree he's progressed.
8:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
8:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Something he's done and Daniel Jones should be looking at that as a role model.
8:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
8:24
[SPEAKER_00]: My number three winner, the Philadelphia Eagles players.
8:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They just won that ball game last Thursday.
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that it's been a week now since that conversation happened and it's been a little distant but they played just really well especially with that 65-minute weather delay.
8:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they came out, they looked energized, they looked like they were more physical, they looked faster than Dallas, although I do think Dallas is a good football team.
8:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they're horrible.
8:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Philadelphia just look like a team that the one is super bowl and has every intention of winning another one this year.
8:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They just look disciplined.
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two
9:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Green Bay Packers, anything.
9:02
[SPEAKER_00]: God, you want to talk about a fan base that has every right to feel awesome about your franchise.
9:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a Green Bay Pack.
9:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle was saying last night.
9:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's only week one.
9:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, man, if I was a Packers fan, I'd be out of my mind excited.
9:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think that there is some conversation around Detroit.
9:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get to that in just a minute.
9:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But Micah Parsons, he was an impact player and he only played.
9:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to say it was 55% of the
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe 45% of the snaps regardless he looked great and I think that entire defense looked better with him.
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So that offense looked more than capable of playing good football.
9:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan loves a good quarterback.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that his ability to thread the needle as far as throwing into danger throwing on the seams to tie it in.
9:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just a really different maker.
9:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that this is a potential.
9:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you want to say that his first year starting was a breakout year, but maybe he takes that next step into real super start and we'll see.
10:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this podcast is going out at midnight Thursday.
10:04
[SPEAKER_01]: So the Thursday night game will already already be over, which the Packers are involved in.
10:10
[SPEAKER_01]: But we will be picking it anyway for POS.
10:12
[SPEAKER_01]: They're ready and part of the contest.
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
10:15
[SPEAKER_00]: My last winner.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: is the NFL fans for Raven's Bills.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a football game.
10:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh.
10:22
[SPEAKER_00]: How lucky were we?
10:24
[SPEAKER_00]: How lucky were we that we got?
10:25
[SPEAKER_00]: We got one.
10:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Ravens were a little bit like they were going to win by two.
10:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
10:28
[SPEAKER_00]: It was still a great game.
10:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: What I love so much.
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that NFL Finters were given a moment.
10:35
[SPEAKER_00]: We were able to see two super stars play it out and do everything they could for their team to And there can really look incredible, but you cannot say that Lamar Jackson is not the engine that makes the team run and Josh Allen is the Buffalo Bill's I there should not even be a conversation He was Just immaculate.
10:52
[SPEAKER_00]: It was an Oscar worthy performance on week one.
10:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the coverage was excellent
10:57
[SPEAKER_00]: NBC doesn't usually swing and miss very often, but I'm just so thankful that we were able to watch that game and see those two quarterbacks week one and a very high-stakes game get the opportunity to play it out and I just couldn't have been more happy with what we got to see our Sunday finish off with.
11:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Lift up to it and more.
11:18
[SPEAKER_00]: The billing was incredible.
11:19
[SPEAKER_00]: It's two and just felt like
11:22
[SPEAKER_00]: the big super fight it felt like may weather and McGregor it felt like the NBA finals it felt like watching tiger woods on a sunday in his prime it just felt like franchises man it felt like busc tv appointment television and i'm glad that the reception of it was as good as it was that that's what and that's an all-time NFL game we will circle back to that game years from now
11:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm cementing it already will, all timers.
11:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I was lucky enough to cover Lamar Jackson's entire college football career, and it was an honor to watch them very difficult, especially at that age, to interview at the different story.
12:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the best college football player I've ever seen at least up close and he's transformed the NFL too So this is a player that has had greatness written all over him the fact that it was even a conversation of him being a wider receiver Oh, or a running back how silly and I wasn't even sure I covered him for three years at Louisville
12:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't sure it would translate to the NFL and Holy crap did it ever did it and the other thing is he could play those other positions I agree completely.
12:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He's that good of an athlete.
12:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that he would be an all-pro player wherever he decided to make his own an amazing weder suit.
12:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
12:43
[SPEAKER_00]: We started with the positives.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Now Kind of have to go to the news
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually have seven losers, two honorable mentions because there were a couple that I just could not leave out.
12:54
[SPEAKER_00]: My first loser honorable mention was watching Broncos and Titan's, that game was gross.
12:59
[SPEAKER_00]: That game was just hard to watch at the 405 timeslay.
13:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I just got no happiness from watching that game.
13:06
[SPEAKER_01]: It was... Stoken Ben's convinced by Bodex.
13:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I am.
13:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I still think that he's a really good football player.
13:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's good enough to make the Broncos a really good team.
13:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he's good enough to make them an elite team.
13:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I tied the jury still out.
13:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that I'm not going to circle the wagons on one performance against a Titans defense.
13:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been saying it before he was in a Velcro or started.
13:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, but I think that last year you'd be remiss to say that he wasn't awfully good.
13:33
[SPEAKER_00]: He was awfully good.
13:34
[SPEAKER_01]: He was seated in my expectations.
13:36
[SPEAKER_01]: But when they played good teams, he was exposed.
13:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and I think that you're going to get the opportunity especially to see that with what I think's a good cold steam.
13:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So when our picks come up, I might be taking the cold.
13:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I don't know.
13:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
13:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I'm convicted yet on that, but I'd be, but if I'm wrong, whatever.
13:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I picked the dolphins last week, so it shows the faith that I had in the Colton.
14:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I made an ass of myself pretty quickly in that situation.
14:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Do it by, I said they didn't start one and six.
14:06
[SPEAKER_00]: My second honorable mention, Bryce Young, looked just all sorts of discombobulated in Jacksonville.
14:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that they also had a weather delay that
14:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Played a role probably in the performance as far as teams.
14:19
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not really having any momentum, but boy, he just did not look good.
14:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Bonax is a slightly better version of Brazil.
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy, because Bryce Young really outside of the minute eight game stretch has looked pretty putrid as a NFL quarterback and Bonax.
14:35
[SPEAKER_00]: took his team to the playoffs last year so i i do think that is a little funny to say that in fact i think it's just straight wrong actually that you just said that to be quite frank with you i i think that it's really hard to even compare the two because bonyx has been that much better than brise young in his career
14:51
[SPEAKER_00]: But with that being said, Bryce Young might be staring at another bench because he looked awful.
14:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope that he gets it figured out that was a player on the rise and a team that stock was on the rise a little bit coming into the season and they kind of got exposed.
15:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're going to see where to see bounce back from here.
15:06
[SPEAKER_01]: He proved that he was good enough to be a career backup.
15:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I mean, easily, for sure.
15:12
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's not what he got drafted and you saw a team move a spots to pick him.
15:17
[SPEAKER_01]: But at least he's good enough to be a career back there.
15:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Can we also say that that bills, Panthers trade is one of the best examples of a complete lose-lue situation for both franchises.
15:26
[SPEAKER_00]: There have been no impactful players that have really come from that trade out.
15:29
[SPEAKER_01]: In a failed trade, it's almost never due.
15:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I can't think of one of us.
15:33
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like a one person trade for, you know, like this because of a contract dispute, but just player for player trade.
15:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it was a picks for it.
15:42
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a picks for player trade with some, you know, DJ, but it was really, we don't want to pay this guy trade.
15:48
[SPEAKER_00]: It was that was just a trade that we'll look back and say everybody oh my god look at we should put the cowboys on the losers for But yeah, I mean look at the Panthers and it's like they have done nothing with that Bryce Young's not been worth it He went to a horrible franchise don't get me wrong, but the bears They also haven't figured it out either So my First loser that's not an honorable mention
16:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Justin Herbertators, my god, he looked good.
16:16
[SPEAKER_00]: On Friday night in Brazil, talk about poised, talk about big strong, all the intangibles, Justin Herbert's got.
16:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I just mean I'm going to prove it to me a little longer.
16:24
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all.
16:25
[SPEAKER_01]: He, I want him to be great.
16:27
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been awfully good.
16:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been really, quietly, really good in his career.
16:33
[SPEAKER_00]: They've just the chargers I think by no luck other than the luck they have, which is bad.
16:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he might be the best coach in the NFL.
16:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Every time he comes to the NFL, both times, it's a complete different team's hand.
16:56
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the reason I put the charges in the same conference in the same conversation as a potential contender as Buffalo and Baltimore only because of that.
17:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that there's it's worthy of the conversation.
17:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they looked really good.
17:08
[SPEAKER_00]: The chief's definitely looked down and were these absence was felt in that game as far as just they had no playmakers.
17:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I have no play.
17:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody.
17:16
[SPEAKER_01]: My homes was running last year and they won what 15 games.
17:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but yeah, Justin Herbert haters, they need to go away because that is a really, really good NFL quarterback.
17:26
[SPEAKER_01]: by chargers' coolest uniforms in the NFL.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: They are cool.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: They're very cool.
17:31
[SPEAKER_00]: my second loser Cleveland Browns fans uh like what dude what have they done wrong they did everything they could to lose that game on Sunday they had no business they they outperformed Cincinnati at almost every single statistical metric and still lost it's baffling to me speaking of slaps in the face i've heard it said that Cleveland is the equivalent of a slap to the face well it is look at the cavaliers
17:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, talk about it just how they want a championship, but they had to suffer the Lebron James to do it.
18:02
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a loser.
18:03
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a loser city.
18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are loser organizations They are mediocrity and it's finest.
18:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no love loss for Cleveland, and I it just makes me happy seeing their them lose They have a really cool indie car race and the rock and roll hall things cool But their their fans just don't deserve the hell that they don't they don't they don't those people do not deserve it.
18:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Northern Ohio.
18:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really sorry about
18:28
[SPEAKER_01]: what you're going.
18:29
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys suck and Ohio State fans might be the worst fans in the country, but you don't deserve this.
18:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you're forced to watch Donovan Mitchell's Theatrix and the NBA playoffs, you're forced to watch J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Russell Wilson's pride, that dude got completely crapped on after that game, I mean the fact that there were reports about his head coach going to ownership and saying we have to start Jackson Dart, which should go to tell you how they think about Jackson Dart that he can elevate that well.
19:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it tells you how they feel about Russell Wilson.
19:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Well then why sign them?
19:15
[SPEAKER_00]: They make why sign them?
19:16
[SPEAKER_00]: They now they know.
19:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Send James Winson out there to fall in the sort of least he's entertaining.
19:22
[SPEAKER_00]: At least you're better than that.
19:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Russell Wilson just years now man.
19:26
[SPEAKER_01]: He just is good.
19:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Horrible.
19:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I can see why Sean Payton said get out of here.
19:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I would pay.
19:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I would rather pay for you to not be on my organization.
19:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that.
19:37
[SPEAKER_01]: He would have loved Russell Wilson about five years earlier.
19:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Russell Wilson's persona, his brand, it's just weird.
19:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a generic Drew Breeze, he loves it.
19:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It just comes down to the fact that he's not starting quarterback in the NFL anymore.
19:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's got to really be failed when he performed that poorly.
19:57
[SPEAKER_01]: You're headed to the Hall of Fame, my man, but it's time.
20:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I agree with that.
20:03
[SPEAKER_00]: the way his careers the last four years at it's not been good for his brand it's not been good for the argument he made some of the great plays and NFL history he's it I understand people who say no
20:21
[SPEAKER_01]: but I think he's a Hall of Famer.
20:23
[SPEAKER_01]: He's better than some Hall of Famer quarterbacks you were in.
20:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
20:28
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
20:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually going to disagree with you.
20:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
20:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that he's right on the bubble of Hall of really good.
20:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he's Hall of Famer.
20:39
[SPEAKER_00]: My fourth loser, the Detroit Lions, they looked horrible.
20:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Ben Johnson may have been that good.
20:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he may have, too.
20:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you saw what Caleb Williams looked like on Screep.
20:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He was 10 for 10.
20:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he looked great.
20:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Those first few drives.
20:53
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to talk about the North Carolina Tarheals in the Chicago Bayers after ringing up of, hey, we are incredible first-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-of-year-year-year-
21:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But outside of that, the bear's quite frankly lost that game.
21:06
[SPEAKER_00]: They did everything they could to lose that game on the game.
21:08
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
21:08
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do believe Ben Johnson is that guy.
21:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I agree.
21:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And I do think that Detroit had a really tough task week.
21:16
[SPEAKER_00]: One, that Packers team had a lot of steam, had a lot of heat.
21:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, well, it might even been the first podcast you and I did together about the NFL.
21:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I said that the Packers were winning the NFC in 2025.
21:32
[SPEAKER_01]: before last season.
21:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I just want to point that out.
21:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
21:35
[SPEAKER_01]: That was before Mike Parsons.
21:38
[SPEAKER_01]: And everything I said last year, the reason they wouldn't win it last year was true.
21:41
[SPEAKER_01]: They were too young in positions.
21:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Now all those guys are grown men.
21:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
21:46
[SPEAKER_01]: And they are elite.
21:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
21:49
[SPEAKER_00]: My biggest loser for the week is AR fanboys.
21:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Daniel Jones is a starter for this year.
21:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I think his week ones performance are ready cemented himself as they are not moving off of him at all.
22:00
[SPEAKER_00]: They're definitely anti-returns not playing this year.
22:04
[SPEAKER_00]: They have a philosophy they're going with it, I find.
22:07
[SPEAKER_00]: If Daniel Jones came out and played horrible.
22:10
[SPEAKER_00]: There was an argument to be made that maybe you see anything you're interested in at some time, but this week one They're just not good as to come to the pressure this year.
22:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I tried to tell you well just a couple weeks ago that if Daniel Jones is given time and has weapons, he can be an average NFL starger.
22:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It all went well.
22:31
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to all go well the rest of the year.
22:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.
22:33
[SPEAKER_00]: There will be a time that he plays really bad soon.
22:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Because that's just the mean.
22:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not a great NFL quarterback.
22:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he will get exposed.
22:43
[SPEAKER_00]: You hope it's not this week at home against Denver, but at some point it's going to happen.
22:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope gold fans aren't thinking he's a franchise quarterback.
22:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope so.
22:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope not either.
22:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope not either.
22:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So we gave you something new, now we're going to give you something that you should be pretty used to now, and that's the five teams most likely to win the Super Bowl.
23:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want to know what you think as far as your five, and I want to see how it matches up with mine really quick.
23:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Buffalo, Baltimore, Green Bay, Philadelphia, and again most likely is different than what I'm predicting because the Eagles, I don't think are going to be in FC Champions, but when you phrase it most likely, if everything went well, they've got the best for Austin.
23:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
23:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, could win it again.
23:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
23:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to make it another NFC team because I think Baltimore
23:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's the third NFC team?
23:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I guess I'll give you my list and we'll see.
23:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we match up pretty well, so my fifth most likely is Green Bay.
23:53
[SPEAKER_00]: They looked really good.
23:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I put them third.
23:57
[SPEAKER_00]: My fourth most likely is the Bucknears.
23:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I forgot the Bucknears.
24:02
[SPEAKER_01]: The Bucknears are...
24:03
[SPEAKER_01]: probably number three.
24:04
[SPEAKER_00]: For whatever reason that the Falcons in Atlanta just pose something to.
24:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm in love with this fucking earsteem.
24:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how I forgot him.
24:15
[SPEAKER_01]: You talk about winners.
24:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Then finding a boooka as we talked about the night of the draft we all were saying how is no one draft in this guy.
24:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And that re-vitalized that entire organization, that one guy who's a rookie, not even a first rounder, wait, it was the late first round pick.
24:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, late first round.
24:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
24:36
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people passed them up, even other receivers were taken ahead of him.
24:40
[SPEAKER_01]: He and Tyler Warner, the front runners for offensive rookie of the year.
24:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I like Baker Mayfield.
24:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I'd like him enough to take him to win the NFC.
24:52
[SPEAKER_00]: What he's on, he's on.
24:53
[SPEAKER_00]: When he's on, he's on top five quarterback.
24:55
[SPEAKER_01]: But the Buccaneers have an easier schedule than the Packers if they can get home field.
24:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
24:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to put, I'm going to say Baltimore, Baltimore's number one to me.
25:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they lost that game.
25:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Buffalo, Tampa Bay, Green Bay, Philadelphia.
25:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
25:09
[SPEAKER_00]: My three is Baltimore.
25:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I said that I like Buffalo more.
25:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I just like Buffalo more as a team.
25:17
[SPEAKER_01]: You have them number two.
25:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's that's just how I feel.
25:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they're a really good football team.
25:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that you I talked about I talked about the grit Like but there's just a grit about that Baltimore team and what Josh Allen has that they're just winner.
25:33
[SPEAKER_00]: They just they went in one that game.
25:34
[SPEAKER_00]: The ravens didn't even go lose.
25:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So that football.
25:37
[SPEAKER_00]: They did a little bit like Josh Allen just went out there and won a football game.
25:42
[SPEAKER_01]: That's that's what happened he was so it reminded me of Peyton Manning went Every time he got the ball I expected in the score and every time on Sunday night Josh Allen got the ball.
25:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he was scoring.
25:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
25:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree my number two, Philly Because I think it's gonna implode.
26:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think AJ Brown's getting traded.
26:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think that it looked that good on
26:06
[SPEAKER_00]: on Thursday.
26:06
[SPEAKER_00]: They've lived their C game and still won, they put a C game and still won.
26:10
[SPEAKER_00]: That against the divisional rival on, we might find them in eight and nine at the end of the year.
26:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying it's possible.
26:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, I think it's possible, but they, they play the C game and still won.
26:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And I, I just, I just have this gut feeling that AJ Brown's going to get traded.
26:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I think that they're kind of getting tired of his, of his, of his antics a little bit.
26:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Devontay Smith, I've, I've said for years, he's the better wider receiver.
26:31
[SPEAKER_00]: AJ Brown's the better football player.
26:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Their drop-off of having Devontay Smith as your number one receiver is not enough to justify dealing with whatever AJ Brown is.
26:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not often number two receiver though.
26:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, perhaps, perhaps, but maybe they feel convicted Nehondotsan.
26:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they feel convicted as far as their run game is going to carry their team with their offensive line.
26:53
[SPEAKER_00]: You really need to pay both AJ Brown and Devontay Smith if one of them is causing an issue.
26:57
[SPEAKER_01]: No, and he, again, AJ Brown is the one you point out.
27:04
[SPEAKER_01]: the could think that lock a room at any time.
27:08
[SPEAKER_00]: It could absolutely happen, but I think they have good leadership.
27:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I think jail in Hertz is not that player.
27:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He's definitely not.
27:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just, I have faith that they're, they're gonna be there.
27:16
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't think jail in Carter is.
27:18
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I think he got caught in the bad situation.
27:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure.
27:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he is.
27:22
[SPEAKER_01]: One of those guys.
27:23
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's, he had the risk and he could be.
27:27
[SPEAKER_00]: He is so good though.
27:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He's, yeah.
27:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And just think he didn't play that game.
27:32
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
27:33
[SPEAKER_00]: and they still won.
27:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So, that, you know, immature for sure, for sure.
27:38
[SPEAKER_01]: But he's also a guy that I think the Eagles can count on.
27:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
27:44
[SPEAKER_00]: My number one team, Buffalo.
27:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And I should, I shouldn't even, my number one's Josh Allen.
27:49
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I should say.
27:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
27:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He's that good.
27:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Lamar Jackson's better.
27:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I really do.
27:56
[SPEAKER_00]: it's close you cannot what you cannot in your right mind watch that game on Sunday watch both of them play with the talent that Baltimore has on their off Josh Allen was for sure the better quarterback on Sunday night Of course Lamar Jackson and that offense.
28:11
[SPEAKER_01]: They took their foot off the gas a little and that cost him Not on him necessarily.
28:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying I think Lamar Jackson Give me a fc championship.
28:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking Lamar Jackson.
28:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just telling you if they play each other in the fc championship
28:25
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot.
28:26
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like 20 weeks between Mal and then I could change my mind.
28:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I said I said myself I think that those two teams are are so good.
28:33
[SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be really hard to beat them twice I think now I I got a I also have to give the edge to Baltimore if I'm playing Vim in the AFC championship because I just think that the script will be out.
28:45
[SPEAKER_00]: They've seen what Buffalo can do But you're making my argument No, all the more is number one.
28:50
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I know because Josh Allen
28:54
[SPEAKER_00]: he is the end all be all he is the good he is the best quarterback I've watching with my my eyes he is that much better man Lamar Jackson is so good he was so good they have Josh Allen is not playing so concerned about him that they're not even touching Derek Henry don't ten yards down the field I'm convinced of that
29:18
[SPEAKER_00]: That's great.
29:19
[SPEAKER_00]: It's awesome, but I just Josh Allen legitimately just play Superman.
29:24
[SPEAKER_00]: He just doesn't make any mistakes.
29:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I'm going to take Lamar Jackson I get your argument.
29:29
[SPEAKER_00]: When Ever Lamar has had the opportunity to be a winner in a big stage, he's lost.
29:34
[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't as good as he is now, and last year was not on him.
29:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to defend Lamar Jackson to the end well.
29:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's great.
29:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you should feel convicted, but you watch that game and Josh and has a bigger impact.
29:52
[SPEAKER_00]: But he, it's not just Sunday.
29:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It's every Sunday.
29:56
[SPEAKER_01]: It's every single Sunday.
29:57
[SPEAKER_01]: He don't think he has a bigger impact.
29:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't.
30:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he's the most valuable player.
30:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Lamar Jackson also has been twice.
30:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh, how can't win it again this year?
30:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you can.
30:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Lamar Jackson's going to.
30:11
[SPEAKER_01]: It's making a picture.
30:13
[SPEAKER_00]: He was also my MVP picked this year as well.
30:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So now your bases are covered.
30:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, because it's going to be one of those two, I think.
30:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
30:19
[SPEAKER_00]: It would have a question.
30:20
[SPEAKER_01]: They're so good.
30:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Those two teams are so good up.
30:23
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a chance that they only have three losses between them between now and the next time they play.
30:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
30:28
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how good they looked the other night.
30:30
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of teams look good though, and week one can fool us as you know Speaking of which, let's get to some picks.
30:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Thursday night.
30:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Just about to get going is Washington at Green Bay Vegas says Washington is Vegas's Green Bay is a three and a half point favorite at home.
30:51
[SPEAKER_01]: The game is on prime video.
30:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody cares because that games already passed
30:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And will the way this game is played every game is worth 10 points.
31:00
[SPEAKER_01]: The favorite is worth fewer points than if you pick the underdog.
31:05
[SPEAKER_01]: So the underdog has the higher value.
31:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And in this one will I have Washington worth 6 points.
31:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Green Bay worth 4 points.
31:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's your pick and why?
31:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Packers.
31:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's some better team than our roster.
31:20
[SPEAKER_01]: As people listen to this, they will already know if you are right or wrong.
31:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm also taking the Packers so far only Kate Hampton of the Star Press has taken Washington.
31:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and I know I think that there's that you could see an avenue where Washington is sure.
31:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sure.
31:34
[SPEAKER_00]: When's that game?
31:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Washington was still a dinner roster.
31:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Really good quarterback, but kind of magical type quarterback.
31:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Parsons is going to play more this this week I see him I think their goal would probably be to get them around the 75% of the snaps I just think it's a difference.
31:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that Josh Jacobs controls the run game The floor is a winner and I just really like where Green Bay looked in week one and I like him at home on Thursday
32:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we go to the Sunday one-to-clock games.
32:03
[SPEAKER_01]: We start with the one-to-clock games, but we're also going to start with the cults every week.
32:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I made the Broncos worth four points, making them the favorites, the cults worth six.
32:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Vegas says that the cults at home are a one-and-a-half-point underdog.
32:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Will?
32:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Here you take him.
32:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me the Broncos.
32:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the cults look good.
32:27
[SPEAKER_00]: but I think they lose a close cagey affair.
32:31
[SPEAKER_00]: If this were played on a neutral side, basically the one and a half line to me means that a neutral side dinners of four and a half point favorite usually usually three points goes to the home team.
32:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So I see I see that kind of being around where it's at.
32:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they win by a field of bull.
32:48
[SPEAKER_01]: The next closest game to central Indiana being played on Sunday is the Jaguars at the Bengals.
32:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the Bengals are three and a half point favors.
32:58
[SPEAKER_01]: That surprises me a little bit.
33:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought they might be a little more.
33:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Vegas is onto the Bengals.
33:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I made the Jaguars verse six and the Bengals were four.
33:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the Jags going to Cincinnati and getting a big win.
33:12
[SPEAKER_00]: They've played the Bengals historically well.
33:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the bingles looked pretty rough in week one and I do see I think if there's a way that Cincinnati wins it's because I think Jacksonville's second areas week.
33:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't they they didn't look great in a week one.
33:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the secondary if there's there are a lot of open receivers that we're not getting.
33:36
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, hitting the hands of the ball.
33:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but I think I just think Jacksonville wins.
33:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why.
33:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I do know why.
33:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that Lawrence is historically played the bingles well.
33:47
[SPEAKER_00]: They're often looked really creative in week one.
33:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And the bingles defense is still bad, still really bad.
33:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they keep lords upright, which is the offensive line looked pretty good.
33:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And that week one victory over the Panthers, I think that's the key.
34:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
34:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Jacksonville wins and I think they went handily.
34:06
[SPEAKER_01]: These Chicago Bears are in Detroit.
34:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Both teams coming off disappointing losses.
34:12
[SPEAKER_01]: The Bears are six and a half point underdogs.
34:16
[SPEAKER_01]: FPI says that the Lions have a 61.6% chance of winning.
34:20
[SPEAKER_01]: But I made the Bears were seven points and the Lions were three.
34:24
[SPEAKER_01]: You take the Bears in the upset.
34:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
34:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Lions come back and rebound from week one.
34:29
[SPEAKER_00]: They still have a really good roster.
34:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that that just kind of gives them the upper hand in this game.
34:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Ashakago's roster is weak.
34:38
[SPEAKER_00]: This feels to me like it's a game where it's really close.
34:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's with it.
34:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the bear's cover or the spread.
34:45
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think the Lions win and get right the ship a little bit.
34:50
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just the roster's too good for them to be bad.
34:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that coaching makes a huge difference.
34:55
[SPEAKER_00]: But you can't tell me that the Lions aren't still a top.
35:00
[SPEAKER_01]: six probably top four roster in the league and they would have been right outside of my top five most likely all though The lion so as I said all year last year Yeah, the chances are zero for the last but I think they're one of the best teams in the NFL still the bears do play the lion's tough I just don't think they they haven't enough to get it done So we're both taking the lions.
35:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes producers Susie took the bears.
35:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay
35:25
[SPEAKER_01]: The New York Giants are in Dallas, Dallas is a five and a half point favorite and a 65.8% chance to win.
35:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I made the Giants were seven points and the Cowboys were three were the Giants were seven.
35:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so this week.
35:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they're issue still.
35:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Russell Wilson said I don't think he's gonna play well.
35:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think he's gonna play well And I like that the Cowboys the Cowboys played the Eagles tough.
35:50
[SPEAKER_00]: What not about the Cowboys historically play well at home It's a it's a huge home-peeled vantage It will be very loud.
35:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure thunder struck will get the crowd rolling and Jerry World just has a magic about it the Cowboys just figure out a way to win this ball game.
36:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Dax also still a pretty good quarterback He is he's got some pretty good weapons as well
36:13
[SPEAKER_01]: The Los Angeles Rams are in Tennessee to face the Titans.
36:18
[SPEAKER_01]: The Rams are six point favorites, 70% chance to win the game.
36:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I made the Rams were three the Titans were seven.
36:27
[SPEAKER_01]: We took the upset.
36:27
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I like the favor here again.
36:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think the Rams are a different class than the Titans defense, typically travels.
36:34
[SPEAKER_00]: The Rams defense looked incredible in week one, and I see them going on the road and Matt Staff or just willing his team to victory.
36:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this game's a two touch young game.
36:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Rams go in there and beat them handedly.
36:49
[SPEAKER_01]: rams are dealing with injuries.
36:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't believe that the Titans are.
36:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that Cam Ward, his first home game, gets his first home win and Jeremy Gigi of WCSI in white river communications agrees with me.
37:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody else has taken the rams.
37:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Titans are worth the gamble in seven points.
37:09
[SPEAKER_01]: If you took it straight up, I'd probably take the rams, but I like the Titans' chances.
37:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
37:15
[SPEAKER_01]: The 49ers come eastward and have to play a one-to-clock game.
37:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I never understood why they do that.
37:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Why not just play it for, why play all the games at one and then just a couple.
37:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll never understand that, but whatever, the 49ers are three and a half point favorites in New Orleans, despite the fact that they are really dealing with injuries in San Francisco.
37:37
[SPEAKER_01]: the win probabilities is 53% chance that the 49ers win.
37:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I have the 49ers worth three the Saints were seven.
37:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I am going to take the upset in this one.
37:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Saints are
37:51
[SPEAKER_00]: bad, but I think the $400 might just be worse with Mac Jones under Senator, he's going to have a week of prep, but Mac Jones is a capable starter, but I just don't really like the $400 weapons that much.
38:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they kind of looked into a victory on Sunday for a lack of better term.
38:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if Sam Donald's hands aren't the size of pennies, you know, might hold onto the ball and score a touchdown there and win on that last drive.
38:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Rattler to Chris Alava connection develops, it gets stronger, Alava goes for a couple scores, Cameras good enough to keep a minute, and their defense is gritty, so why not?
38:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me the upset in this way.
38:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.
38:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like the 49ers, and I especially don't like the 49ers when they're this banged up.
38:35
[SPEAKER_01]: also another good home field advantage is very loud in the New Orleans good point not a good home field advantage is the Miami Dolphins still there one and a half point favorite over the Patriots are you surprised by that first of all after the week one performance.
38:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I didn't have no eye, they look horrible.
38:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the Patriots at least looked okay.
38:56
[SPEAKER_00]: It's I wouldn't say they look like a Worldbears, but they looked okay.
38:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, give me the Patriots here.
39:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I think variable goes in and wins one on the road.
39:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, here's the reason you're wrong.
39:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been reading Vegas lines for 40 years, and they are begging people to take the Patriots.
39:11
[SPEAKER_01]: They know that this is a matchup that the dolphins are gonna win and I agree, I'm taking Miami.
39:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Producer Susia Big Dolphins fan was very discouraged by last week and took the Patriots to win this game.
39:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Bills jets on a little surprise is a one-to-clock game on CBS, but the Bills are in a ton of National Spotlight, so I guess isn't that big of a surprise.
39:34
[SPEAKER_01]: The Bills are a six-and-a-half-point favorite in New York.
39:38
[SPEAKER_01]: They have a 66% probability of winning.
39:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I have the Bills worth three the jets worth seven.
39:47
[SPEAKER_00]: give me the favor here.
39:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you could read in the tea leaves and talk yourself into jets at being the other dog, but I could definitely talk and talk into the spread, but I am not taking them to win.
39:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I, I just think the bills are, are that good.
40:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I do too, and I love Justin Fields.
40:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been telling you about him for two years now.
40:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he is a real NFL quirk.
40:08
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks really good.
40:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me him over Bonix all day.
40:13
[SPEAKER_01]: the seahawks are in Pittsburgh and this surprises me too.
40:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Pittsburgh only a two and a half point favorite.
40:19
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I have Seattle worst seven and Pittsburgh were three.
40:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Seahawks went in Pittsburgh.
40:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
40:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
40:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Because historically teams at start the year O and two have a 12% chance of making the playoffs and the seahawks are a playoff team.
40:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And Pittsburgh's defense was less than to be desired and I just think that the seahawks take care of it.
40:41
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a good
40:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that you can look and look at last week's performance and say, okay, well, the C-Ox art is very good.
40:49
[SPEAKER_00]: This is still a good roster, it's still a good team, and I'm still not convinced on the paint.
40:54
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a classic Steelers lose this game, classic Steelers lose this game.
41:02
[SPEAKER_01]: The Browns are in Baltimore.
41:05
[SPEAKER_01]: This is our game that we expect to be the least competitive.
41:08
[SPEAKER_01]: A 12 point favorite is Baltimore.
41:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I made the Browns worth eight.
41:11
[SPEAKER_01]: The Ravens worth two.
41:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Any Monday night hangover.
41:16
[SPEAKER_00]: No, not this week.
41:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Once again.
41:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's spread maybe.
41:19
[SPEAKER_00]: At the Ravens team, like the Ravens aren't going on to start in the year.
41:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're going to win their winning a football game this week.
41:26
[SPEAKER_01]: The Ravens are winning a football game this week.
41:29
[SPEAKER_01]: The Panthers are in Arizona, one of two four-clock kickoffs.
41:35
[SPEAKER_01]: The other one being the cults, both are on CBS, Fox has the national game of the week, which we will be getting to real soon, which is pretty good one.
41:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
41:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Cardinals are 6.5 point favorites at home and have a 65.9% chance of winning this game according to ESPN.
41:57
[SPEAKER_01]: You're taking will cardinals or the Panthers.
42:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to take the cardinals.
42:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think the Panthers are bad.
42:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And the cardinals, they didn't convince me in a game.
42:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think that New Orleans is
42:12
[SPEAKER_01]: better than probably thank it that's a reason why but I I see the cardinals their home opener I think they win this one sorry people about the cicadas we we're out early enough that they weren't gonna be a big deal but now they're out yes it's not that big of a deal don't go away
42:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And now to the 425 game, the defending World Champion Philadelphia Eagles are at the three time defending AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs, the last three champions and what for the last seven, the Eagles and the Chiefs, the Eagles are a one and a half point favorite in Kansas City.
42:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm surprised it's not more according to ESP and the Chiefs have a 53% chance of winning this game.
42:59
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to bet against Andy Reed, Patrick, my homes, are you going to do it?
43:03
[SPEAKER_00]: No, the chiefs are starting the year O and 2.
43:05
[SPEAKER_00]: They're winning a football game this week.
43:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just, my Patrick, my homes will find the way.
43:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't know what the point is at 55.
43:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that your score?
43:15
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to mention that.
43:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you should give the chiefs a six, but don't be out there dog.
43:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Let him be.
43:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But that would be mine.
43:21
[SPEAKER_01]: A bit of an underdog.
43:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me, give me the chiefs.
43:26
[SPEAKER_01]: the cheese are going to start o and two and they're going to be below 500 by the end of the season.
43:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
43:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Two minigames.
43:32
[SPEAKER_01]: They just have played so minigames, something has to give one of these seasons.
43:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Now to Sunday night and then two Monday night games will Sunday night, the Atlanta Falcons are in Minnesota, the Vikings are three and a half point favorites.
43:45
[SPEAKER_01]: In according to ESPN, I have a 65% chance of winning this game.
43:50
[SPEAKER_01]: The Falcons are worth seven.
43:51
[SPEAKER_01]: The Vikings are worth three who you take it.
43:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking the road underdog.
43:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the Falcons in this game.
43:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Pinnocks looked good.
43:58
[SPEAKER_00]: They lost a tough home opener against the the bucks.
44:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think B. John goes nuts in this game and
44:06
[SPEAKER_00]: JJ McCarthy while he looked great in that fourth quarter let's not forget that the first three he looked pretty horrible and I think that's gonna be an issue So I while I do think JJ McCarthy and in the end result is going to be a very good starting NFL quarterback I just think yes Yeah, I think you saw the intangibles.
44:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I Like the Falcons I like the Falcons and this came a lot.
44:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I did too
44:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And the first Monday night game is Tampa Bay in Houston.
44:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I have both teams worth five points, according to the Vegas odds makers.
44:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Houston is a two and a half point favorite, but 50, 50 according to ESPN.
44:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I have both teams worth five points.
44:53
[SPEAKER_01]: No one's gonna be surprised by who we're taking.
44:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Taking the bucks.
44:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely.
44:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I take the bucks and I take the bucks going away in this one.
45:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And the last game of the weekend will, the Los Angeles Chargers are in Vegas to take on the Raiders, two of the coolest uniforms in the NFL, just, I'm a uniform guy, well, and man, those Raiders are just classic, I can't stand that team, but I have the Chargers worth for the Raiders, the Underdog worth six, the Chargers are a four point favorite.
45:28
[SPEAKER_01]: have a 61% chance to win the game according to ESPN.
45:31
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you think will I'm taking home underdog.
45:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think the Raiders are kind of in.
45:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they're better.
45:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Pete Carroll.
45:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I love a Pete Carroll Jim R. Ball matchup.
45:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is going to be a coaching.
45:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Um.
45:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Snaps and clubs on his face again.
45:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that they won.
45:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that they won that game in Kansas City.
45:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, not in Kansas City in Brazil against Kansas City.
45:57
[SPEAKER_00]: They're I think they're they're bet begging you to take the chargers in this game is what I think Vegas is doing I think Vegas is is playing on the hype that the chargers are super good football team And I think that's true.
46:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the chargers are great and I think Maybe I made a mistake in leaving them out of the playoffs with that being said.
46:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Raiders win this week
46:18
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, well, thank you so much for your time.
46:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And for doing the show every week.
46:24
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, we're going to do it twice on Monday.
46:27
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to get together and recap the weekend.
46:30
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think we're going to start talking a little baseball as well.
46:32
[SPEAKER_00]: We might have to.
46:33
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting hot.
46:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't believe the Reds are back with them.
46:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Two games of the playoffs.
46:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Then that's just continue to stumble.
46:39
[SPEAKER_00]: They've had every opportunity to go and and seal this up and write the check that they're on their way to October, but they just can't do it.
46:47
[SPEAKER_00]: twice a week you get well-run for thanks everybody.
46:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you guys, appreciate it.
49:09
[SPEAKER_01]: This central Indian sports report is a product of ITG media, and I love Susie.
