0:00
[SPEAKER_02]: You are listening to strictly bias with Will Rutherford is NFL Week 18 Previews and Predictions And it's only on the central Indian sports report
0:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back everybody to the second edition of the Central Indian sports report strictly biased with the orstually will read it for this week.
0:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Greg and I have decided that we wanted to talk through some important NFL storylines and also briefly mention the pick competition that has ran throughout the entire season.
0:40
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like it's a three-headed race, basically at this point, producer Susie Elijah Poe and Kate Hampton are all with in-stacking distance.
0:48
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, Elijah Poe of the Ball State Daily News, Kate Hampton of the Mudsy Star Press.
0:56
[SPEAKER_01]: and that's about it.
0:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I am in fourth place.
1:00
[SPEAKER_01]: My bridge follows me with the Pacers report and then Greg unfortunately has found himself in last place after last place.
1:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Well being in first place for majority of the year we go into week 18 with a lot of skepticism on guys that are going to play or teams are going to rest their starters, teams out of
1:26
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's difficult right now just to kind of put a feel around what teams will do.
1:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I think some teams play differently based on how games go even Saturday, how early games go at one o'clock on Sunday.
1:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we will be left with the 430 slate and Senate football, but the 430 slate is massive too.
1:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, well, before we get going, I wanted to say that I got to text from you the other day that there's no such thing as a meaningless NFL game.
1:54
[SPEAKER_02]: You are absolutely right.
1:57
[SPEAKER_02]: There is no such thing as a meaningless NFL game to a lot of people, but what I meant was meaningless in the standings, meaningless as far as the draft goes, either teams making the playoffs or one team has made the playoffs and can't move position the other team isn't in the playoffs.
2:14
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I referenced as meaning.
2:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to let you know that and the listeners.
2:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
2:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
2:20
[SPEAKER_01]: We kind of had a conversation with Sam regarding the cults and just kind of players may not be playing as hard because they're not playing for something.
2:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And my response was more or less to do with that because players are going to play hard.
2:33
[SPEAKER_01]: They're on the field.
2:34
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not going to put bad tape.
2:36
[SPEAKER_01]: out there for teams to potentially look at and pick apart in the office and they're playing for contracts, they're playing for practice squads, they're playing for extensions.
2:47
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just NFL players are not going to go out there and not give it 100%.
2:50
[SPEAKER_01]: They're competitors.
2:51
[SPEAKER_01]: They want to win regardless of where the standings are.
2:54
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, this cold team in particular, like they're still going to got there and perform because the truth is, the truth is, it's not a meaningless game to anybody who's playing in it, who's watching it, who's watching it on television or takes the time to know, of course, it's not meaningless, especially the NFL, but I'm pro sports.
3:12
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no such thing as a meaningless game.
3:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I just met in this play,
3:22
[SPEAKER_02]: to be fair to Sam you do get some lethargic play.
3:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
3:28
[SPEAKER_02]: And a lot of teams look like they quit late in the season at times.
3:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's kind of contagious at times.
3:34
[SPEAKER_02]: And so there can be some of that.
3:36
[SPEAKER_02]: But you're right, unprincipled.
3:39
[SPEAKER_02]: These guys are playing a win of football game.
3:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only that, I think when you play with argic when you play slow, it's an injury risk.
3:45
[SPEAKER_01]: When you're not playing 100% you're going to get hurt.
3:48
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just the way this took all is played.
3:51
[SPEAKER_01]: To be quite honest with you, play hard.
3:53
[SPEAKER_01]: You play physical.
3:54
[SPEAKER_01]: You play the right way.
3:55
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to stay as healthy as possible.
3:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Another are situations that go beyond that with ligaments and muscles and just strains in general wear and tear on the body, but when you play with argic and when you play
4:10
[SPEAKER_01]: That's when injuries happen because your head down the swivel and all the sudden where you avoid that blind side hit, you run right into it and then you play a little bit of play with hard to can play hard.
4:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe you're not playing as difficult to the whistle you give up an extra yard.
4:25
[SPEAKER_01]: You let somebody get out of bounds where you would try to keep them in the playing field in a two minute drill situation.
4:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I understand that, and I think that Sam is right.
4:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that you can get, and you are.
4:37
[SPEAKER_01]: You can get some lithology.
4:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think, like I said, on general principle,
4:41
[SPEAKER_01]: their professionals that they get 17 game the year to put tape on film to guarantee job security for next year, they're not going to compromise that just because they have a vacation that they're flying out for on Wednesday.
4:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember I was about 10 years old and I went to a cult's game with Jeff Cotton, who had played football at San Diego State and was my neighbor growing up and
5:07
[SPEAKER_02]: The gold's all they had to do in this game.
5:08
[SPEAKER_02]: The last game of the year was loose, and they got Vinnie Test of Verdi as their quarterback.
5:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I asked Jeff why wouldn't they just lose on purpose then?
5:16
[SPEAKER_02]: And he said, you think any of those guys out there care about Vinnie Test of Verdi?
5:19
[SPEAKER_02]: There's not a single player out of them not field who cares about Vinnie Test of Verdi.
5:22
[SPEAKER_02]: They're putting the win, they're playing for their jobs.
5:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything, I'm you take a field.
5:27
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm talking about.
5:28
[SPEAKER_02]: You are playing to win the football game.
5:30
[SPEAKER_01]: The people that care about tanking and those are the upper management in the owners, that's who cares about the tanking and the draft stock and the draft position.
5:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, NFL player doesn't want their job security to be questioned, but they're rookie.
5:45
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't want a team to draft somebody in their position because that's scary.
5:48
[SPEAKER_01]: At the end of the day, they're teammates, but they're competitors.
5:51
[SPEAKER_01]: They're competing for 53 spots on a roster.
5:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And then 12 practice squad, guys, that's all you get.
6:00
[SPEAKER_01]: a thousand people that can play net in FL football in the world in the United States right now at this given moment.
6:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And that number may be off.
6:09
[SPEAKER_01]: That was just thrown off the top of my head.
6:12
[SPEAKER_01]: regardless, they care about the opportunity to blaze their career in a sport where your average career is three years, the five years.
6:23
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all you get to maximize your earning potential and then you move on to the real world.
6:29
[SPEAKER_01]: But by the way, it's two teams.
6:33
[SPEAKER_02]: That went over the bills that day that I went to the game.
6:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Over Jim Kelly and the bills move the cults from the first pick to the second pick and it worked out really well.
6:43
[SPEAKER_02]: They drafted Cornelius Bennett and traded him for our Dickerson.
6:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.
6:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So look at that.
6:50
[SPEAKER_01]: They would have traded many test of air day.
6:52
[SPEAKER_01]: That's sure.
6:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Another thing I wanted to bring up before we start talking about the games is the MVP race because I keep hearing that it's between Matthew Stafford and Drake May, but the MVP of this league is clearly Josh Allen guys, come on.
7:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think it's the most valuable player.
7:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that that's true.
7:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's always a most deserving award.
7:18
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not usually the most valuable.
7:20
[SPEAKER_01]: It has been the last couple years.
7:21
[SPEAKER_01]: They also have the most.
7:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's up for debate.
7:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this point, I think Drake May has performed well enough to be considered the MVP.
7:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I also think Trevor Lawrence deserves to be in that conversation in terms of most valuable to his team and most valuable to their turnaround in this season.
7:40
[SPEAKER_01]: He's played excellent the last eight weeks.
7:43
[SPEAKER_01]: They've gone on this one street.
7:44
[SPEAKER_01]: They're having opportunity to be the two seed.
7:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I didn't have any quarterback in your team on the Super Bowl run.
7:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Who would you what who would you want?
7:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I would want Josh Allen.
7:54
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think it's fair.
7:55
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
7:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Easy.
7:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if it's, but that's also looking at a career as a whole and not necessarily a year and under the most valuable player in the league and the most valuable player in the league is Josh out.
8:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the debate in every sport.
8:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Who was more valuable to their team's success last year?
8:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it Calarolli or Aaron Judge when it came down to what they actually did in terms of their team's performance?
8:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you could make an argument.
8:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Calarolli was was the most valuable, but the best player was Aaron Judge.
8:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And Aaron Judge did win the MVP and I thought that he should because when you're batting average is a 100 points higher that you can pettitor, I just don't think you're going to be too well, then where's James Cook and that conversation because you could say that he's just as valuable to the bill success.
8:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you can't.
8:46
[SPEAKER_02]: James Cook's success comes in large part because people have to shadow Josh Allen in the run game.
8:53
[SPEAKER_02]: He's getting holes other running backs wouldn't get because his running back is such a threat.
8:57
[SPEAKER_02]: You know that.
8:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
8:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't know the reason that engine runs, you could plug in any top level running back and it would be the same.
9:07
[SPEAKER_01]: You're you're not wrong.
9:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying that.
9:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you could.
9:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I think a triple crown Russia is pretty valuable to a team.
9:14
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good.
9:14
[SPEAKER_01]: He's he's going to lead the league in rushing yards.
9:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that's just because of Josh Allen.
9:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Josh Allen, that rain for 1,600 yards.
9:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm close to the best running back in the league.
9:25
[SPEAKER_02]: He stopped.
9:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he is.
9:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a top five best running back in the league.
9:29
[SPEAKER_02]: No way.
9:30
[SPEAKER_01]: And the only I'm only taking.
9:32
[SPEAKER_01]: He's your mirror gives Johnson Taylor and Christian McAfrey probably before I'm taking James Cook.
9:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say he is the fifth best running back on the league.
9:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Derek Henry is is up there in conversation.
9:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I think those six.
9:48
[SPEAKER_01]: This one are the six best.
9:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been there, but he is was the MVP last year or essentially the player that you're last year.
9:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying he's six, seven, eight somewhere, he's good.
9:59
[SPEAKER_02]: but he's not, it's because of Josh Allen.
10:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think that while that is true, he's put enough tape on the last two years to prove that on his own, his value without Josh Allen is still
10:12
[SPEAKER_01]: It's still awfully high, you know, we could pull up the numbers.
10:17
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been incredible this year in terms of what he's been able to do.
10:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Even when teams have really done a pretty good job of trying to make sure he isn't as impacted and make Josh Allen throw the ball to win with the receiving car.
10:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, James Cook, over 1,600 yards, 5.2 per carry and 12 touchdowns, that's, um,
10:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Josh Allen is the MVP period.
10:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's not going to be so he can be the central Indiana sports reports MVP, but he's not going to be the NFL MVP.
10:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, see, here's the problem with that.
10:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the central Indiana sports report MVP might be Jalen Carter, because we don't look at it has to be somebody getting yards or something like that.
11:09
[SPEAKER_02]: The best player in the entire league.
11:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I still think I would, if I had to pick one of them, I would take Josh our own.
11:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so what I, but, but it's close.
11:21
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a perfect, getting double triple teamed every week, still putting up amazing stats.
11:26
[SPEAKER_02]: That defense is a reason the Eagles can win the Super Bowl.
11:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I think so.
11:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I think well, and then they have to all pro corners to help.
11:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Just set it on to.
11:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
11:37
[SPEAKER_02]: And one draft by the way, and you know how you have those mock drafts that you can do the cults mock draft online, I took those two and almost every single one of the mock drafts that year, it was Mitchell in the first round to Jean in the second round because the cult had defensive back problems and those two in college really stood out to me, that's why the Eagles are just, they stayed on top.
12:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
12:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I think their defense has definitely been the backbone to that team, where they've really struggled to find their footing the whole year, essentially, offensively.
12:14
[SPEAKER_01]: They, I don't know if there's change coming.
12:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I have to think that there has to be just with with the talent this offense has, they have to be better.
12:25
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you can't have AJ Brown to volunteer Smith, Dallas, God or Sequon Barkley, Jalen Hurts and a top five
12:33
[SPEAKER_01]: and struggle to put points on the board weekend a week out.
12:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if it's just changing play call or I don't know if it's maybe developing a better scheme or advancing your scheme.
12:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if last year they just had to they had to run so many plays that people have gotten used to the formations and their tendencies and are able to gain play against that.
12:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever happens, though, I think you have to still respect Seria on his leadership for having this defense ready to go play week and a week out as the head coach, I know is not the defensive coordinator, but the leadership that he has helped provide this team, whether it be a little volatile through the media or not, he has been an excellent head coach for this Eagles team and this organization in the franchise.
13:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Greg, I also failed to mention Vick Fangio's important test with the offensive coordinator to the Eagles.
13:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that we have a transition recording.
13:37
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, he's been up in the booth.
13:39
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been absolutely incredible for this team.
13:42
[SPEAKER_01]: They have an incredible scheme and they bully teams up front.
13:46
[SPEAKER_02]: But they were going to fall apart this year and that defense is so good.
13:50
[SPEAKER_02]: They still have a chance to repeat.
13:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree, I think that if the on paper they're the best team in the NFC, now whether that translates to a suitable win is, I don't know, but on paper they're the best team.
14:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Greg, let's get started with this week's slate.
14:07
[SPEAKER_01]: On Saturday we have two games, the first of which is played at 4.30, the Carolina Panthers are visiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, both teams are worth five Greg, what are your thoughts?
14:18
[SPEAKER_02]: My thoughts are the reason I went from first place, the last place in the PIX competition is I stayed on too many sinking ships and one of them was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
14:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm gonna stay on it one more week, I guess.
14:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I think I'm gonna stay on it one more week, I guess.
14:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I think I'm gonna stay on it one more week, I guess.
14:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm gonna stay on it one more week, I guess.
14:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I know they had one good win on the road somewhere I can't remember, but.
14:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, you're not going to get on the road, the buckiniers are usually pretty good at home.
14:45
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to be.
14:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
14:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I could see it going either way, but given the buckiniers, I think I'm going to take the buckiniers too.
14:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I think McMillan kind of exploded last week.
14:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I think using him as your wide receiver three as crazy as that sounds.
14:59
[SPEAKER_01]: They have a just a.
15:02
[SPEAKER_01]: a treasure trove of riches at this point, offensively, if they could just figure out a way to use them.
15:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Their run game has to be better with buck-yurving.
15:09
[SPEAKER_01]: It's why they got beat in the first matchup with Caroline a couple weeks ago.
15:12
[SPEAKER_01]: They couldn't get buck-yurving going.
15:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he only had 70 yards that week.
15:16
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got to find a way to get him the ball and space more.
15:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they figured out this week.
15:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Todd Bull still gets fired because there's a chance that the Saints beat the Falcons and the
15:30
[SPEAKER_01]: the playoffs.
15:31
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, regardless of the outcome of this game.
15:33
[SPEAKER_01]: So I see this going the books with all right.
15:38
[SPEAKER_01]: The eight o'clock game, the late game is a huge one for seating and the NFL.
15:45
[SPEAKER_01]: The second game of the day tomorrow on Saturday is at eight o'clock.
15:51
[SPEAKER_01]: The 13 and 3 Seahawks travel to the 12 and 4 49ers both team here with five Greg.
15:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the 49ers a lot in this game.
16:00
[SPEAKER_01]: What are your thoughts?
16:02
[SPEAKER_02]: The winner is the number one seed.
16:04
[SPEAKER_02]: The loser falls all the way down to number five.
16:08
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's a big one.
16:11
[SPEAKER_02]: My thoughts are I like the 49ers a lot too, but I like the Rams against the Seahawks a couple of weeks to go to and the Seahawks won it.
16:19
[SPEAKER_02]: They've been pretty good in big games.
16:20
[SPEAKER_02]: They've been surprising me all year, but give me the 49ers.
16:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I do think that they beat them in a week.
16:26
[SPEAKER_01]: One, parties playing lights out.
16:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm interested to see what kiddo's injury status is.
16:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the 49ers just score a lot of points and force Donald and do a turnover or two.
16:37
[SPEAKER_01]: The Seahawks probably keep it close, keep it within a touch.
16:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the 49ers pulled out.
16:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I think the 49ers off instantly are the better team, and that's going to play a huge part in display off run for them.
16:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it gets them number one seed.
16:52
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, moving on to the Sunday one, a clock slate.
16:55
[SPEAKER_01]: The first game we will talk about as a game that means a lot to us, but also means nothing.
17:00
[SPEAKER_01]: The 188 cults travel to the 11 and five Texans, cults were seven Texans were in the division?
17:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
17:09
[SPEAKER_02]: So, not meaningless to them as much as to us.
17:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate the Texans.
17:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So, the Texans are worth three, though.
17:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is one of those sneaky cults winds
17:22
[SPEAKER_01]: do it and they're, I don't know, that that's just what this cults and they'll win a meaningless guy.
17:28
[SPEAKER_01]: They did it last year.
17:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
17:29
[SPEAKER_01]: You're exactly right.
17:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to get on the cold swim.
17:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Texans struggle offensively.
17:36
[SPEAKER_01]: The colds forced route and do a couple of overthrowns across the middle by them as a pick.
17:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe a tipped ball, a fumble, the colds.
17:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I think just scraped this one by 23, 16.
17:46
[SPEAKER_01]: And the Texans have no way to win the division, but they still can play in the playoffs.
17:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how to seating.
17:56
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to work buffalo and the chargers are both sitting their quarterbacks.
18:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me the call to nine to eight.
18:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Three fio goals for the calls to fio goals in a safety for the text nine to eight.
18:12
[SPEAKER_01]: The second game in the AFC South that means a lot the three and 13 Titans travel to Jacksonville who is 12 and four.
18:21
[SPEAKER_01]: and has the opportunity to win 13 games and clinch their division.
18:24
[SPEAKER_01]: The Titans are worth eight and the Jags are worth two.
18:27
[SPEAKER_02]: We said, this is the cold to win.
18:30
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the exact kind of game the Jag war's lose man.
18:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Through their history, this is the exact kind of game they lose, but they're not going to lose this game.
18:38
[SPEAKER_02]: This Jag war seems a little different.
18:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so too.
18:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm regardless of the the eight points I gave us the Titans.
18:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the Jags here.
18:47
[SPEAKER_01]: They beat him 25-3 in the first meeting in Nashville.
18:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the Titans have stuff to play for.
18:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this Jack's team is just kind of rolling.
18:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't see the Titans as a force that can stop them.
19:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the game stays closer to the third quarter than you would like.
19:05
[SPEAKER_01]: You might even see Jacksonville trailing for a while, but in the fourth quarter, they pull away with the game.
19:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Jaguar's constructed the number one seed, right?
19:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
19:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I think New England has to lose and Denver has to lose, but yes, I think that they, the jacks can still be the one seed.
19:24
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to play everybody.
19:25
[SPEAKER_01]: They're, they're only my guess is that if they're up 14 in the fourth quarter, under eight minutes left to go, they probably bring moans out and sit Lawrence, but outside of that, I think the jacks are going to be fit to gas the whole
19:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't say the Jaguars have a great home field advantage, but it's certainly better than going to New England Buffalo, Pittsburgh, any of those places than playing in Jacksonville.
19:52
[SPEAKER_02]: You would think they would, that was possible.
19:55
[SPEAKER_01]: The only thing to in the playoffs that you see is like, Miami would be hard because of the heat.
20:00
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of these northern teams coming south, having to play in the oppressive heat.
20:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the southern team is going north.
20:06
[SPEAKER_01]: The problem with Uax and Ville, that's kind of one of those perfect football climates right around this time of year, we're going to be like 65 and sunny, and it's going to be perfect weather.
20:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So that does neutralize that a little bit.
20:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Same thing for Florida.
20:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think they do have an opportunity to to be a good home feel.
20:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they show up when when it matters a lot that game a few years ago, where they hosted the chargers in the playoffs was an electric atmosphere.
20:34
[SPEAKER_01]: That's one of the best NFL games I've watched in my life.
20:38
[SPEAKER_02]: So in any NFL stadium in the playoffs, but yeah, absolutely.
20:43
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't think of Jacksonville as a huge home field.
20:45
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but it's definitely better than playing in Buffalo.
20:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
20:49
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, moving on to these four in 12 Browns, visit the six and 10 Bengals, the Browns are worth seven.
20:57
[SPEAKER_01]: The Bengals are worth three.
20:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe Burrow is not playing in this game, so I'm just going to say Bengals and move on.
21:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say Browns because of that and I don't know why Browns are going to come to play from time to time, give me the Browns and the seven points.
21:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think fan and or, I mean, Judge Kim's already is on IR with the, the tibia issue, but Harold fans, not going to play.
21:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they have any playmakers to win.
21:22
[SPEAKER_01]: So it'll stay close, but the Browns don't travel very well.
21:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe the Bengals are 13 and I have point favorites or whatever.
21:31
[SPEAKER_02]: That's nuts.
21:33
[SPEAKER_01]: That's nuts.
21:34
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, to be nine six and one Packers travel to the eight and eight Vikings, Packers were three Vikings were seven Greg.
21:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll keep it short.
21:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of like the Vikings on this one.
21:48
[SPEAKER_02]: What if I told you, I just saw the headline that JJ McCarthy started to change things?
21:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I still like the Vikings.
21:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're playing well.
21:57
[SPEAKER_02]: That changes me the Packers.
22:00
[SPEAKER_02]: He's so bad.
22:05
[SPEAKER_01]: You're right.
22:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious what are the Packers going to do because I think they're locked into the seven seed no matter what so I'm I don't know who's going to play.
22:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's going to sit the Vikings can finish about 500 that would be huge considering where the season has gone.
22:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they want to get just in Jefferson to a thousand receiving your odds are going to force feed them the ball when they do that it it works out for them.
22:25
[SPEAKER_02]: You're probably right.
22:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go to the Packers anyway.
22:29
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, moving on, a game that actually has some implication crazy enough, the six and 10 Saints travel to the seven and nine Falcons, both teams were five Falcons have an opportunity to remove Tampa Bay who has kind of been there on the thorn and the side of the Falcons getting in the playoffs last few years.
22:50
[SPEAKER_01]: They have a chance to get the Panthers in with a win.
22:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Greg, who do you like?
22:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me ask you a question, Will.
22:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Is this a game between the best two teams in the division?
23:03
[SPEAKER_01]: The best team in the division right now is playing in the game, but there was another player.
23:07
[SPEAKER_02]: There was another player.
23:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Better to.
23:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Falcons win because Chris O'Lave is not going to play, but if Chris O'Lave was playing, if the season started five weeks ago and went to now, the Saints would win this division.
23:21
[SPEAKER_02]: You're right.
23:22
[SPEAKER_02]: They would because they got the best coach.
23:26
[SPEAKER_02]: or give me the same.
23:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is the first time I've taken them all year.
23:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, I said, I failed to jump off of ships.
23:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I also failed to get on some as well.
23:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think I'm going to take the Falcons because B. Jean and Chris O'Lave is not going to play.
23:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to go Falcons, but I like where your heads out with the Saints.
23:44
[SPEAKER_01]: We both agree this team is much better than their record indicates right now.
23:50
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Greg another meaningless game.
23:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Glad it's not the American game of the week.
23:54
[SPEAKER_01]: The seven eight and one Cowboys visit the three and 13 Giants, both teams were five Cowboys move on.
24:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
24:04
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
24:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Stun day.
24:13
[SPEAKER_01]: 425, the 7 and 9 Dolphins travel to the 313 and 3 Patriots.
24:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Dolphins were 7 Patriots were 3 Patriots.
24:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me the Dolphins.
24:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
24:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean this is an important game for the past because they can clinch up the number one seed.
24:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they are the
24:39
[SPEAKER_02]: 1999 Indianapolis Colt to started winning a little too early and at the end of the year got exposed I can start to write here.
24:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
24:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how Darren Waller's injury is going to impact them.
24:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I still I just like the pads.
24:56
[SPEAKER_01]: They still have a lot to play for.
24:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think the Stalfon's team with Ures is bad.
25:00
[SPEAKER_01]: They obviously won last week.
25:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be difficult for them to
25:10
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Greg, the 3 and 13 New York Jets travel to the 11 and 5 Buffalo Bills.
25:16
[SPEAKER_01]: The Jets are a 7.
25:17
[SPEAKER_01]: The Bills are worth 3.
25:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Josh Allen may take a 1 snap to keep the consecutive starts record impact, but I don't think he plays much more than that.
25:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Who are you taking?
25:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking the Bills.
25:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see how many touches James, now I don't care if the Bills are going to win.
25:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, I really, I really like Aaron Glenn as a head coach.
25:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I think he's fired because he's supposed to be a defensive coordinator and defense head coach and their defense is horrible.
25:50
[SPEAKER_01]: They were better with Bob Sala.
25:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, as a football mind, how about that?
25:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I like him as a defensive coordinator.
25:57
[SPEAKER_01]: He is clearly shown his ineptitude as a head coach.
26:02
[SPEAKER_00]: There are guys that came in with less and figured it out.
26:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, I'm going to go in now.
26:09
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're listening to this, I just think that your ass is fired already.
26:13
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'd like to get on my team.
26:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Patriots went and fired Gerard Mayo because they thought they had a better option last this past year in Mike's label.
26:25
[SPEAKER_01]: That paid off.
26:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the jet should do the same thing.
26:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if they think there is somebody out there that they view as a difference maker, a game changer that could position Aaron Lynn is never going to be a
26:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Then I would catch a very ingrained landed with the goals.
26:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's going to be one that's going to be a great head coach.
26:47
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll save.
26:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I still, I'm still hasn't been.
26:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I get what you're saying.
26:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Very, but I don't, I don't believe it enough to call you a knuckleheader or anything like that.
26:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
26:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
26:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I will, if I really believe you're being a...
27:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
27:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, let's move on.
27:03
[SPEAKER_01]: The six and 10 chiefs face the two and 14 Raiders in Vegas, both teams are worth five.
27:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the chiefs are going to try to lose the game.
27:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Raiders are going to try to lose the game.
27:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's going to have better job of that?
27:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Who can sit the most players?
27:25
[SPEAKER_01]: As long as Geno Smith is playing, I think the Raiders cannot win.
27:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So give me the chiefs.
27:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Mario, you took the G, so I'm going to take the raiders.
27:38
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how simple that was.
27:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the raiders will just be absolute fools to win the game.
27:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolute fools to win the game, but wait, let me ask you your question.
27:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, are the raiders absolute fools?
27:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they are.
27:52
[SPEAKER_02]: There they go.
27:53
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
27:54
[SPEAKER_01]: The 11 and 5 charger visits the three and three Denver Broncos charger with six Broncos with four.
28:03
[SPEAKER_01]: The Broncos are playing for the number one.
28:05
[SPEAKER_01]: See the chargers are resting, Herbert, and other starters.
28:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is a pretty easy Broncos here.
28:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I agree.
28:17
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, that was easy, spun when we agree, like that.
28:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, by the way, this is kind of a meaningless game, too.
28:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I know the Broncos, you know, get the number once you eat the chargers on your arm when I'm up there out there to probably keep them from doing it.
28:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's no, I'll make so I know.
28:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Broncos, their goal is they want to get up three scores in the second quarter and sit down next down and.
28:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Let Jared Stadium go out there and sling the pillar around, get his, whatever contract escalator he has or if he placed 2% of the staffs, he gets an extra $50,000, they'll get victory against that money.
28:54
[SPEAKER_01]: For a job well done carrying the clipboard all year, right?
28:57
[SPEAKER_01]: He's done a hell of a job.
28:58
[SPEAKER_01]: You can hit.
28:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Flipboard G's is Charlie Whitehorst walked so Jared Stadium could run.
29:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll play with, I mean, Carson went to the Super Bowl champion.
29:13
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
29:15
[SPEAKER_00]: That count for something.
29:17
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
29:18
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
29:20
[SPEAKER_01]: The eight and eight lions visit the 11 and five bears, lions are with six bears with four.
29:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't climb to win this game, because I think there's the better team.
29:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to go this way now, that's easy.
29:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, crazy.
29:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't believe they're crazy.
29:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I, the, the lines of beaten in a set of the bears the last time they played.
29:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it happens again.
29:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the bears, it's kind of the same situation as the Patriots.
29:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you see the foundation crumbled a little bit in the facade of the bears being an elite NFL team kind of thing.
29:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Ben Johnson's the coach of the year because of his effect on two different teams, I think.
30:09
[SPEAKER_00]: he's a good one.
30:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's good once might be a good one too.
30:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not completely convinced yet.
30:15
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks like his instincts are good and when your instincts are good, that's 85% of being a quarterback.
30:22
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't turn the ball over a lot.
30:23
[SPEAKER_01]: That's something usually kind of have to coach out in a quarterbacks.
30:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he already has that if they could just get his eyes to be higher.
30:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even think the highs have to be higher when he makes plays that nobody else in the world can make.
30:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you just need to bring the low up like you need to bring the bad plays and kind of a short and that leash a little bit and that's what young quarterbacks do.
30:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
30:45
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Greg.
30:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Another game I don't know how much it means, um, well, seeing it could be important is the
30:55
[SPEAKER_01]: 4 and 12.
30:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Washington football team visits the 11 and 5 eagles.
31:04
[SPEAKER_01]: The Eagles can still play for a higher seed.
31:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they win this game.
31:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Josh Johnson started for Washington.
31:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, good luck to him.
31:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Eagles.
31:16
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, moving on, the three and 13 Cardinals visit the 11 and 5 Rams.
31:23
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, well, the Rams are the perfect example of leather G when you have very little play for.
31:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
31:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're absolutely right.
31:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Cardinals were seven Rams were three Greg Rams.
31:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Rams win.
31:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that if you think your team is a decent quarterback away from winning a playoff game or getting to the playoffs, I think the color marries the guy you go get.
32:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Kirk Cousins is probably going to start the year and Atlanta and a quite frankly, I think that the last five games have shown why he should have started the whole year.
32:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this team's a playoff team if Kirk hasn't placed the whole year.
32:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I really do.
32:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that he's performed that well.
32:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it would be hard not to be better than Pinnock's was.
32:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
32:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that it's just, it's going to get where he more aspired, I think.
32:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
32:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And to be quite honest, I think he probably, he probably disarmed it.
32:36
[SPEAKER_01]: He's earned getting fired.
32:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's another one I keep thinking.
32:40
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to be a really good one.
32:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not worked out in two spots now, getting a third chance is this difficult.
32:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's looking less like he's, what I find he might be outside of that.
32:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I don't really know if there's a team to me that fits like the mold of needing a Kyler Murray.
33:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Colts is, that's a good strong option.
33:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, obviously you could make an argument that the jets could be a landing spot form.
33:13
[SPEAKER_01]: but just be so just career way.
33:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, I need to see what the contract structure looks like to see what the dead money is for the cardinals, how much money the coals have open, whether they want to pay him, what he's worth, how much draft capital would take to get him.
33:30
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just a lot of question marks to me of how the whole situation will work.
33:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think if you have to go get draft capital or get it in the cardinals for Tyler Murray, I don't think you do it.
33:42
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
34:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think so, it's not a bad fit.
34:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Steelers are another option depending on what Rodgers does.
34:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And think about that one.
34:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Steelers fans would hate him.
34:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they would.
34:28
[SPEAKER_00]: They would.
34:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not their kind of quarterback.
34:32
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not.
34:33
[SPEAKER_02]: But they worst can't be choosers.
34:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and he might, he's a good one.
34:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's not.
34:40
[SPEAKER_02]: number one pick where the guy but he's a good quarterback.
34:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, he's for a lot of other starting quarterback.
34:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
34:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I think a staff or decision could make a difference if I was going to say that, too.
34:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
34:56
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're cool.
34:57
[SPEAKER_02]: What about a Joe Burrow decision?
35:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Is Joe Burrow going to ask to be moved out of Cincinnati because he's earned the right to do that.
35:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it would be just a hilarious evolution of the NFL if he demanded a trade because he lobbied so hard for them to resign both Higgins and Chase.
35:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, publicly, just kind of went at the franchise and said figure out a way to pay him.
35:25
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems like it's something brewing though, doesn't it?
35:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Seems like a lot of frustration for a top end to quarterback.
35:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, sure, but I think if I'm the bingles, I'm looking at Joe Burrow and saying, hey,
35:36
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of need to stay on the field a little bit to.
35:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
35:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, awfully difficult to make the playoffs when your ass is hurt for two weeks at their two months of season.
35:46
[SPEAKER_02]: And his retort would be protect me.
35:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I don't think the offensive lines not been completely atrocious at Joe Flacco played well, but I'm not offensive line.
35:56
[SPEAKER_02]: You're absolutely right.
35:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes the quarterback that makes the quarterback, the offensive line looked back.
36:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I think it would be, I think it would be really selfish for him to say I won out.
36:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it would be really just not professional.
36:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that they can win with him.
36:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they can win a super bowl, but when you go out and you say, hey, let's, you know, go and and resign two number one receivers.
36:23
[SPEAKER_01]: One of which I don't necessarily know is worth number one receiver money and
36:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And the injuries and stuff, I know it's bad luck, but, you know, I just think that you got that got to replate you so, and he fought for this.
36:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think now you got to stay with the ship.
36:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Going to be interesting to see what happens in the quarterback market in the off season.
36:52
[SPEAKER_02]: People think the gold's are sunk because they don't have a first round draft pick, Daniel Jones is not
37:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that's true at all.
37:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I can tell you one thing, Greg.
37:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I watched that Ole Miss George a game last night, and I can tell you the different Trinidad Chamberless is there for the quotes to get in the second or third round.
37:13
[SPEAKER_01]: You'd be an absolute fool not to go again because that dude's a gamer.
37:17
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think this is a draft in particular where you're gonna get as good a broccoli.
37:23
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to get as good a quarterback in the second or third round as you might in the first this year.
37:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it could be recently biased for sure I've just watching him play and watching him perform for this old mis team, but I mean, he's one two national championships at Ferris State is division two quarterback.
37:40
[SPEAKER_01]: He's 23 years old.
37:41
[SPEAKER_01]: He's played a lot of football.
37:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I know that the size of the bit of a concern, he's listed at six one, probably closer to six foot, but.
37:49
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they're Maria.
37:51
[SPEAKER_01]: He's taller.
37:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Colomaries is shorter than me, which is why I say I don't trust a quarterback shorter than myself.
37:59
[SPEAKER_01]: don't Gabriel also applies to that as well.
38:02
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's neither here nor there.
38:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I just look at that Chamberless style is like this is kind of the archetype of what you want to bring a guy that's maybe a little undersized.
38:14
[SPEAKER_01]: He kind of has very Brock Purdy feelings to him where it's like smaller.
38:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Not going to be highly sought after draft prospect.
38:22
[SPEAKER_01]: He played a ton of football though.
38:23
[SPEAKER_01]: One
38:26
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the type of guy you go get.
38:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I saved you.
38:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you throw that second or third round or see if it sticks.
38:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Russell Wilson, to me, he gives a lot of Russell Wilson in him.
38:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Bragg, of the game that America just should be pissed off to know and about having to watch on Sunday night football.
38:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that might be a reaction.
38:53
[SPEAKER_01]: The A&A Ravens play the nine and seven Steelers.
38:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Both teams are worth five.
39:00
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in Pittsburgh, Greg, who do you like and why?
39:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know who I like and why.
39:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I like Mike Tomlin, making the playoffs every single year and here we are.
39:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have a great comeback against you for that statement.
39:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think Lamar was gonna win this game.
39:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope so.
39:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope so I love Lamar.
39:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I have not seen it at all this year will.
39:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
39:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm in the Steelers are historically good against Lamar.
39:33
[SPEAKER_01]: They do a good job of bottling them up.
39:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I'm wrong.
39:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate the Steelers.
39:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to see them in the playoff.
39:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to have to turn on the game.
39:44
[SPEAKER_01]: They're playing where they'll get blown out by 20 because their teams not good enough to compete with any of these playoff teams.
39:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's just a shame that we're forced to go through this.
40:00
[SPEAKER_00]: You understand why, though, right?
40:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
40:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I have two huge markets, big fan bases, two legendary coaches.
40:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
40:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, neither coach really should be considered legendary, but great rivalry through the years.
40:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
40:23
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a great rivalry.
40:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, they're playing for a division championship all that, but you're right, those teams think man.
40:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the, the former version of the Baltimore Ray Rayman's and the Cleveland Browns found a way to beat the Steelers and I think the new version of the Baltimore Ravens find a way to beat the Steelers.
40:43
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, it's people like you or the reason we're watching this game.
40:47
[SPEAKER_02]: people who say, oh, we need to keep the divisions the way they are, blah, blah, blah.
40:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Just one big conference.
40:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, and we get the best one.
40:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Keep regional rivalries and get rid of the division.
41:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I like this game.
41:01
[SPEAKER_01]: If it's too fun and frisky, eight, eight, nine, sevens.
41:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, hey, like, you know, you have a lot of points playing in the playoffs.
41:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Defenses are very good, but hey, we love football.
41:12
[SPEAKER_01]: We love, we love offense.
41:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I like those, that the Panthers buffs.
41:16
[SPEAKER_01]: fun and frisky game that has a big importance.
41:21
[SPEAKER_01]: This game is going to be gross nasty and disgusting.
41:23
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be 16 to 10.
41:25
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be the final score.
41:26
[SPEAKER_01]: You'll be left wondering how many times the team can hunt and still win.
41:30
[SPEAKER_01]: You'll be looking at up on Google is what you'll do.
41:33
[SPEAKER_01]: How many times can a team hunt and still win?
41:37
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the record for punts in the game?
41:39
[SPEAKER_01]: You'll be asking yourself
41:41
[SPEAKER_01]: because both these teams are competing for that spot.
41:44
[SPEAKER_01]: They want to be left in the record books and something.
41:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not going to come from being a good football team.
41:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And either one of their respective cases.
41:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully Lamar turns into Lamar and can make the playoffs and make it a little run.
41:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Because as much as I hate the ravens and they are in my bottom three franchises as far as hate.
42:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I like Lamar Jackson that much.
42:07
[SPEAKER_02]: And I got to cover him through college and
42:10
[SPEAKER_02]: enjoyed it and I am for him.
42:13
[SPEAKER_02]: And I hope he wins, but I don't believe in him at all right now.
42:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he's the same one, Mar Jackson.
42:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think you're right.
42:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Someone telling me I'm right is always the perfect way to end a podcast.
