• 2:35
  Speaker 2: we are most excited about from that Week one.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Graphics, Cynthia, what's your look at it?
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: I Am going to start where it all starts Thursday night, Arrowhead.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: What is better than seeing Patrick Mahomes take on the
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: reigning League MVP. It is just a second time we've
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: had this situation, meaning the Super Bowl champs and the
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: raining Super Bowl MVP against the League MVP. Last time
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: it was your Patriots, and by the way, the Patriots
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: they did win after you know, winning the Super Bowl
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: just prior. But this is a great one. This is
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: what we've all been looking for. It's a rematch of
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: a game that Patrick. Did you pick the Ravens.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: In that one?
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: I did pick the The result was a little disciplined.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: It's okay, It's still like you can pick the We
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: can already just tell you that you're gonna pick the
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Ravens week one.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Now block that in.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: It's just it's pretty much a known already. But it's
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: gonna be a great way to start.
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: I love starting strong like that. It's Week one.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: I think it's the best football week of the year,
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: and now we're adding a day to it. My favorite
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: game in Week one is on Friday. It's in Brazil.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: What what is happening? The Green Bay Packers and the
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Philadelphia Eagles. I'm really excited for this one, uh because
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: I want to see what the Eagles are doing schematically
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: now with a new offensive coordinator. Are they gonna be
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: as much into the touchbush? Are they gonna use Jalen
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: Hurts in the same way running? You know, first week
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: you kind of break out all the bells and whistles.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: They're going up against a new Packers defense dude, defensive
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: coordinator Jeff Halflee. He's in our lives now, like we
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: don't know what's gonna high life.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: And I went to Boston College. He's been in my
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: life and.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: You know what, he's a good defensive goath.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: Jordan Love to me is a box office, just one
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: of the best pure throwers of the football that we've seen.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: And then finally it's the Brazilian fans in just a
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: setting that we haven't seen.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: Brazil's been watching these games.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: I know we have a huge audience in Brazil, in
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: Germany and in England, and everyone's like, oh, the crowds
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: are so great there and they're like just wait, like
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: we laugh at the energy you're bringing.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: Brazil is gonna make it okay crazy.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: The best time zone of all of the international games
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: as well, time zone perfection, well multo.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Something that we can enjoy, and I think the newness
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: plays into that. And that's why my game features a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: little bit of newness as well, because you could get
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a couple of playoff teams. Of course, there's some rematches,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we're gonna go over those in just a second, but
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: what about a team that just got in and a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: team that just didn't get in. And that's the Falcons
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Look at Kirk Cousins showing up there in Flowery.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: Branch laughing at your pick.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Well he could be laughing, but there's Russell Wilson, super
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Bowl champion Russell Wilson. And how about Arthur Smith besmersed
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: not just by Jamis Winston and the Saints, but by
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Atlanta subsequently before that, then he gets fired.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Now he's got a team, if.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Not one, but two fully operational quarterbacks in an offense
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: where he can construct his vision.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I think that's an exciting game.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And we get to see Kyle Pitts with a quarterback,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: maybe two quarterbacks.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Is Kurt gonna play? Is it? Michael Pennock Junior. There's
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: so many storylines that we can overreact to. That's what
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I love.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: You're already drafting Kyle Pitts as your tight end number
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: one as well.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: We've locked in Patrick's.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: This game is a very Patrick selection. But I gotta
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: give it to you, it's the right one. You actually
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: were right on the seas.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: See, there we go. We start with a win for me.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Everything of course is going to start though with that
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: AFC Championship game rematch.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: That won't be our.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Loan opportunity to see Kansas City on the big stage.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: They ended the season with that Miko Hardman walk off touchdown.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: The Chiefs are gonna have plenty of games, in fact,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: five games in prime time up next season. They trying
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: to win their ninth straight AFC West title. Andy Reid
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: squad also has a big matchup on Black Friday against
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: their rival Raiders, the last team.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: To beat them. So this is a look at their
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: full schedule.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: We get a really fun start against a couple of
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: AFC North teams.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And the Ravens and the Bengals.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But Cynthia Casey has won at least ten games for
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: nine straight seasons.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Do they do it again?
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: So it's may meaning the win totals are closer to
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: that half way mark. However, the best win total projection
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: in the entire AFC Chiefs ten point nine wins, so
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: that rounds up to eleven by the time the season starts.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Look for that number to creep up closer to twelve.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: The lucky thing for the Chiefs in general is that
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: they get.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: To play the NFC South.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: That's a little bit of shade to the South, but
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: it's also not really because that's just the way the schedule.
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: Look at that NFC South.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Hey, you know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, not sorry.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Getting the division on it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Win just the Ultimately, they're tied for the sixteenth hardest
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: schedule in twenty twenty four based on last season's opponent
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: win percentages.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: So let's check out who's got.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: The roughest schedule ahead of them Rougher than the Chiefs.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: It's the Browns, the Ravens, and the Steelers.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: If you can figure out the commonality there, it's pretty obvious.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: And in the Texans and the Packers woea tied the
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: twenty four New York Giants tied for sixth in terms
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of roughest schedule.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: A team just feels mean.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah then and the Patriots, I guess in the Raiders
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: not even really close to the playoffs last year.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: So those are the numbers.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: But in your mind, Greg Rosenthal, in your mind and
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: your perception, who has the toughest schedule in twenty Yeah.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: I don't really buy into the strength of schedule. So
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: many things have changed. So I'm picking a team not
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: even on that entire board. It's the Detroit Lions. So
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: what I look at is your division schedule first of all.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: So to me, the hardest schedule has to be.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: A team from the AFC North or the NFC North,
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: which I believe are the two best divisions. It's crazy
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: the NFC North can now be put in that category.
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: It's four tough games now seven playoff teams from a
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: year ago. Then I go out of division.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: They got to play the NFC West in the NFC
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: out of division. I think that's very difficult. Then I
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: look at the first place schedule. What's different than the
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: rest of your teams. The Lions, for instance, have to
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: play the Cowboy. That's a tough one. And then that
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: seventeenth game, which is really like an X factor when
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: looking at the schedules. What's their seventeenth game?
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: Just the fun game the NFL wants to throw them.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: The Buffalo Bills always consistently good. I think it's a
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: tough schedule for the Lions and a lot of primetime,
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: a lot of pressure on your team.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Oh listen, everyone needs Honolulu blue in primetime. It's just
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: such a beautiful color. We can all agree. Another team
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: with a beautiful color, the Jacksonville Jaguars, of course, tied
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: for eighth on that list we saw before from last year.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: But let's just talk about how they start this year
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: at Miami, yuck against Cleveland at home, double yuck at Buffalo,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: woof at Houston.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: That's the first four games.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: That is a really interesting Welcome to twenty twenty four.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Are you made of what we thought you were or not?
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: It's gonna start real strong, It's gonna start real heavy.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Did they do enough in free agency? That's a really
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: tough schedule and by the way, there by isn't until
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: late week twelve.
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: So yeah, don't question Trevor around Patrick, It's.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Safe to question literally everybody because all of these games
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: are gonna be tough, and that's why the schedule is tough.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: But I'm looking at the Detroit Lions, who were Greg's pick.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: They believe in their quarterback. I think the Jags believe
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: in their quarterback. I'm going to take the Browns here
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: because one part of having a tough schedule is being
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the team that plays that schedule. They go in with
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson returning a quarterback, and you just saw the
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: tough schedule graphic. Yes, those teams in the AFC North
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: are good. But here's a stretch for the Cleveland Browns.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: This season they played the Ravens. Of course, they have
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the Eagles, Bengals.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: And Ravens in one stretch. The next stretch later on.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: In the season is Steve Deelers, Chiefs, Bengals, Dolphins consecutively
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: for the Browns. I believe in the Browns defense, but
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: we've seen what the Browns can do and cannot do,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: and I just feel like that's.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: A very, very difficult schedule, but we will see that
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: the time comes.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Because this is the consummate team sport. We got eleven
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: guys working together, We've got one hundred and fifty plus
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: support staff. But it all comes down ultimately when we
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: talk about these games, Hey, which quarterback is playing against.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: The other quarterback? So let's do that, shall we.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: There is some quarterback matchups. Of course, We've got the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: MVP and the Super Bowl MVP. We got the trade
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: number one overall pick Rams Lions Battle. We've got the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: number one overall pick going against the number two overall picks.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: So many possible quarterback storylines. Despite the fact that these
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: guys are on the field at the same time. So
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: what let's talk about some quarterback not necessarily matchups, but
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: games we're looking forward to seeing both quarterbacks playing in
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: one particular game, Greg, what's your.
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: Favorite for by it's two particular games.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: It's the AFC South matchups with Anthony Richardson and CJ. Stroud,
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: And one of them is in Week one, which, like
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: I said, is football Christmas.
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: You unwrap it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: And you know what I enjoyed as a present back
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: in twenty twenty three, the one hundred and twenty minutes
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: of the two complete games we saw out of Anthony
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: Richardson because they were electric. He was as good a
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: combination of decision making, arm strength and running ability as
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: I've seen in a while. And who's he going up against?
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: One of the best rookie quarterbacks of all.
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: Time in CJ.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Stroud now improving into year two, and this is a
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: matchup we get to see twice a year. They played
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: last year and they both played really well. And yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: I get excited about the quarterbacks. As you mentioned, I'm
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: excited about the young quarterbacks. And you're usually better in
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: your second year. That's when you improve the most.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: There's so many takes right about young quarterbacks, and we've
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: seen a lot of them directed at two in the
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: AFC East, particularly Tatonga Barloa as well as Josh.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Allen, and those are the games I'm looking forward to.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I would like to see both of those as well as.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: We get the Week two game, but it's really that
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Week nine game, that late season matchup between the Bills
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and the Dolphins that always seems to have so many
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: implications playoff wise.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Of course, the takes.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Are gonna mean that only one of these quarterbacks can
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: be good and have a viable career and all sorts
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: of things.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: But the games themselves are fun.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: They inspire conversations about who can play in cold weather
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and all of that.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I'm just really looking forward to seeing it. Yet again,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: what about you, Cynthia.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: I legit thought you guys were gonna do some like
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: petty party stuff like.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins and Minnesota.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Or even Derek Carr against the Raiders. These all happen
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: this season, but we still have the Brady Manning rivalry
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: of our generation, so I'm always gonna pick that whenever
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: it happens. Of course, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes who
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: match up in Week eleven until.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: They're not in the league anymore.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: This will you can slate that in for next year.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: What is my favorite matchup if there are to play
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: each other?
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: That is Java's watching this thinking like, how come I
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: camp be in this.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Little Sorry Joe, sorry, honey, you gotta stay healthy. This
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: is the game that everybody wants to see.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Are the Bills gonna be.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Okay with their remade pass catching situation? What does Joe
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Brady their offensive coordinate now? What does he have in
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: store for them?
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: And of course.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes and they trained Xavier Worthy.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: His draft pick was the Bills. There's so many storylines and.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: It's Mahomes and it's the Brady and Manning of our time.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: It's two guys who could throw the ball really far,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and we're really looking forward seeing them yet again, speaking
• 13:29

  Speaker 3: Get to see renews and rematches.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: A lot of them do feature the Kansas City Chiefs,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: but also the Eagles at the Buccaneers, the Lions at
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: So much to look forward to.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Infect Let's get some marquee matchups presented by Verizon and
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: get to some of these juicy playoff rematches.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Greg, what do you want to see the absolute most?
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: I'm not gonna try to be cute here, Okay, I
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: mean I am cute that you can't help.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: The actually forty nine Ers Chiefs like go to the obvious.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: It's the Super Bowl rematch, and it's the two teams
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: that have been most consistently great in their conferences.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: This game was on NFL Network a couple of weekends ago.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: I may or may not have allowed my son to
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: watch it because it's like, hey, it's sports. You can
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: watch that all day long if you want. This game
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: was crazy if you think about it. The Chiefs only
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: scored six points in their first nine possessions and had
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: two turnovers. The forty nine er should have won this
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: game like nine times out of ten. They were leading
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: this game ten to nothing. They had a second and
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: four at the nine yard line in overtime. They gave
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: this one away. We talk about revenge games all the time.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: It's not gonna make up for it winning a regular
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: season game. But go win a ballgame at home against
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: the Chiefs and at least feel better on that day.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, go win a bush, win a ball game.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: How about win two halves of the ballgame, not just
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: the one half. My choice is obviously A week seventeen,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: the Detroit Lions the San Francisco forty nine Ers. Let's
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: see if the Lions can play two halves of football huh, how.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Are we doing on that? They did do.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: A lot to address the secondary, both in free agency
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: and drafting, but I'm gonna tell you it doesn't get
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: easier because the forty nine ers also address some of
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: their issues. So in my estimation, if they had to
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: redo it again, Dan Cambill probably wouldn't have kicked the
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: field goal in the end of the first half. He
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: probably would have went for it because that was his identity.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: It's not an analytics choice. It was an identity choice.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Perhaps everything could be different. So the butterfly flaps the wings,
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: maybe this time everything will be different like this.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: In Week seventeen too, So many good games early, but
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: you got to save.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: It's a really good way to ring out twenty twenty four,
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: you know, like one day before Newyear's Eve.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I think before we get to all of those things,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: we have to go with what happened when the butterfly
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: initially flapped. It swaps, and we go all the way
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: back to the Lions playing host of the Rams in
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, and leading up to that game, the thought was, hey,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: you know the Rams are resurgent. They're a late team.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: You know, we don't know if the Lions are they were,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: The Lions were ready, and Jared Goff is fresh off
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: of getting.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Paid with another chance to stick at the Shawn and revenge.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: As Dan Campbell said, he's good enough for Detroit. Another
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: chance for him to show it in the very first
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: week of the season. And it's like Greg said, it's
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: unwrapping the Christmas present. It's opening things up and we
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: will see what the Rams look like without a first
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: ballot Hall of Famer and we get to see the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: line the new look Lions with the new secondary. I
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: can't help but be more excited about the first chance
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to see it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: In your Lione seat. They could have lost second.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: I will always believe that Rams team, like a call
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: or two different, could have been in the Super Bowl.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Butterfly flats hypothetical ifs and buts. So let's go because
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: none of those teams we just mentioned have a chance
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: to do what the Houston Texans did last season.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Let's go from worse to first.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: The Texans made the playoffs last year after finishing at
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the division in twenty twenty two.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Three rins the season prior to that. CJ. Stroud is
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: a rookie not only led them.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: To the division crown, but they got to win in
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, becoming the most recent team to go from
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: worse to first in their division. So here are the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: contestants for the twenty twenty four edition of Worse the
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: first the Patriots, Bengals, Titans, Chargers, Commanders, Bears, Panthers, and Cardinals.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Which team will go from worse to first?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: From this graphic, Cynthia, who's most likely?
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: As Marcus says, sometimes a low hanging fruit tastes just
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: as good.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Nine to eight.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: That was the Bengals record, and you get Joe Burrow back,
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: and those other three teams in your division all have
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: the three hardest strength of schedule based on a metric
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: that Greg thinks is garbage. But what that at least
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: has to point to you as one point whatever. But
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: ultimately you get Joe Burrow back, they added to their
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: O line. There's a lot of goodness that goes on
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: in that situation alone.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Then you kind of get some new.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Pieces for you know, on defense and also like the
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: running back position. So I'm excited to see what these
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Bengals have in store this season.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: But it's the easiest one. They already were over five
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: hundred last year.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: And ultimately because I agree with you, Cynthia, like we
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: saw lou Anroumo back with almost an all new secondary
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: last year, they were still contenders and this time around
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: this pure basic math, I can envision the Bengals getting
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: four more wins much easier than I can envision, say,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the Patriots getting seven more wins more purely based on that.
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: But we see math is math.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Cam Taylor Brick going into another season, he got really
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: hot late on last year.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Of course they go on.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: They get Geno Stone from across the division coming over,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: you get add another veteran to the second and yes,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the obvious thing, having Joe Burrow for more of the
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: season is going to be better. So I just think
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: it's more realistic to think the Bengals than whoever Greg's about.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: I mean, that's an easy answer.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: It's like you can just do whatever is easy, or
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: you can wake up its men, attack the day, you
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: can attack the show, you can attack the schedule release
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: with an energy unknown to mind and pick that Chargers
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: and you can look at, Okay, the Chiefs are in
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: that division a bit of a problem. It's hard to
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: be how many three peats have we seen in the NFL.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: You can't come up with that any in the Super
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: Bowl era, So that's hard for the Chiefs. Then do
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: you think about the Chargers. They got some work to do.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: But here's what they do have. They got Jim Harbaugh,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: great coaching staff, they got Justin Herbert, great quarterback, and
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: then after drafting Joe All I think they have a
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: great offensive line. That is a foundation with which, surprising worse,
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: the first teams have been built on much less than quarterback.
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: Coach, offensive line.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go Bots, all right, Yeah, you go out and
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you get a hot name rman coming over from the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: offense that Greg Roman was leading.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Lest I feel excited Greg.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: I'm excited about Jim Harbough having him in our lives
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: like he is a big yes nobody.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Coming up, we're running through the full slate of primetime games.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: In twenty twenty four.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Which teams deserve to be playing the most under the lights?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: We will discuss that, plus some win totals for some.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Of the year's most intriguing squads.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Which ones you'll find out when we come back on
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Game Debut schedule release presented by Verizon.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to Game deview.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Schedule release NFL Network kicks off. It's international slate Week five,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: the Jets and the Vikings in London, Aaron Rodgers squad
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: taking on Justin Jefferson and company at Tottenham Stadium. Could
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: we see the rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy in this one.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: We're looking forward to a lot of games coming up
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: on NFL Network. Here's a look at the schedule. That
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: game in London, and then Jags Bears Week six, Patriots
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Jags in Week seven, and the Giants and the Panthers
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: in Munich. And we also got the Week seventeen triple header.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: But which game, Cynthia.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: If you look at our NFL Network schedule, are you
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: most excited to see.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Week six Bears and Jags. It's going to be six
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: weeks in which means we'll.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: See Caleb Williams be good.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: It's not his first start, He'll have had a month
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: in the league already, so this is going to be
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: a fun matchup. Plus, just for fine, it's the first
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: of the Jaguars two in a row across the Pond.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: I kind of hate when people say that, but I
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: went with it anyways.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: But ultimately I think this is.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Going to be a really fun one because remember the
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: Bears last season only they had six to one possession losses.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Their defense was pretty banged up to start the season.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: So well, now we'll see full Bear mode activated, Full
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Bear mode Monsters of the Midway, but only in London.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: It also works, and I like the billboard for the game.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Caleb Williams is ready to be good now because it's not.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: Also, the Bear's very popular overseas because they like all
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: the good eighties things.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Obviously also very popular here in Ustato. Sounidos is Sunday night.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: There we'll go.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's look forward to it. So many great games
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: on Sunday Night. As we said, we're winning all day
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: for them. How about the Bills at the Ravens in
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: week four. Get a chance to see the Bengals taking
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: all the Giants. Look about the week seven, and how
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: about the Packers at the Seahawks week fifteen. So many
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: great games on Sunday night football, including one across the
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: street from us, the Eagles Rams Sunday Night Football week twelve.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: But Greg, what Sunday night football game stands.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Out to you?
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: I had to just keep it real and we're going
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: back to Caleb Williams. It's the Bears, it's the Texans,
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: it's weak two. I just want guys that can spin
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: it in my life. And it as great as Caleb
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Williams is. I feel like, just because we knew he
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: would go number one overall, it almost hasn't gotten enough
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: hype and attention of just what an unbelievably electric talent
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: he has. I can't think of a rookie quarterback since
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: I've been doing this that I'm more excited to see
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: enter the league, Like Andrew Luck was up there, but
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: I still think Caleb Williams is more dynamic, more exciting
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: than he even.
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: Was spit spin it. I was like, and I like,
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: he's so excited. I didn't even mention c J. Stroud
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: also in this game one of the most beautiful.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: And honestly like looking at that video of Matt Uberfluce
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: in slow motion, he's got a little more pep in
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: this stuff.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Just being adjacent beard also makes him look cool.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that is, you know, like good bearded fellows around
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: these parts.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Cynthia couch Stubble. Hey, how about Monday Night Football?
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: We like beards and Monday Night football. The Jets forty
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: nine ers start us off in week one.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Get a chance to see Cynthia's Lions play host to
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks in Week four, Saints at the Chiefs week five,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: and then over at the second half of the Monday
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Night football schedule, a couple of games jumping out?
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: What about Week eleven the Battle.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Of Texas the Texans again, looking forward to that. But Cynthia,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: if we're breaking down this whole Monday Night football schedule,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: we got three pages of it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: What speaks to you?
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: You pointed it out?
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: It's Week eleven, Texans at Cowboys. I think the storylines
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: in this one are really going to right themselves.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: I mean c J.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: Stroud coming off that insane offensive Rookie of the Year campaign,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: is Texas up for grabs?
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Texans.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: Did a whole bunch of this offseason. The Cowboys brought
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: back Ezekiel Elliott. That was pretty much all that they've done.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: But ultimately this could be like that? Is it the
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: passing of the torch from like.
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: The fans, this not like each other. They don't play
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: that often, but the fans they don't like it.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: But this is gonna be a good one. I mean
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: the Texans.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Like that's a and I think maybe like we'll see,
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: like will there be like there's always a lot of
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: scrutiny around Dak Prescott right around that time of the
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: year too, So was like, we want CJ, we want Jack.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: I love it. I love the drama.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: I think I have to ask for waiting until this
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: part of the show to talk about the Cowboys.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, we've waited.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: You know, as as Cyndia mentioned, perhaps being all in
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: means that you were already all in and there was
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: no more chips, So yeah, you.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Bring it back. Ezekiel. Well, let's go to the Thursday night.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Let's look at the Thursday night schedule.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: That's what the people want, that's what they need is
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: these games on T and F. And we got the
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: forty nine Ers at the Seahawks NFC West Battle coming
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: up week six, Week nine, Aaron Rodgers, you know, we
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: think playing host the Houston Texans and then the Packers
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: at the Lions a week fourteen. That game is fun,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: it's a great so many games to look forward to,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: but we can only pick Greg in this scenario.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: One game your favorite.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: I'm going Week three Patriots at Jets.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: You'll see a theme.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: I like the young quarterbacks you do and er doing
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: I'm, you know, like a young quarterback.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: I'm saying he'll be back from his achilles and they'll
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: be getting better and better. Drake May another dynamic playmaker
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: who has just preposterous physical gifts, like some of the
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: throws he made at UNC were incredible. I think he'll
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: be starting by then. I think he'll be starting by
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: week one because he is that talented. And I see
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: what you did, NFL. You only gave the Patriots one
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: primetime game. You put it early because you thought they
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: were going to be losers.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: But Drake May's got something else for you. He's gonna
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: be like c. J. Stroud last year. He's gonna be boxing.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Patriots have been pushed to the back burner, but.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: You know, you know, whenever he gets that voice, oh,
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: I see what you did.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: Like that like Jake Cutler, but with a better attitude.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Right if we didn't devote multiple weeks to his old
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: quarterback having discussion across the street at the form. Either way,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: people are gonna be excited about the Bears this season.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Of course, the number one overall pick that plenty to
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: be excited about. With the first pick wore NFL Draft,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Chicago Bears select Caleb william quarter back of the Caliburnia.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: DA Studio Washington.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is absolutely a ludicrous.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Really nice pick be select j Whi receiver Washington Room.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Jas what over do ja, dude?
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: It's time for over under here on game debut and
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: that is why these lovely foam fingers have made their returns.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about win totals for twenty twenty four,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: So let's kick it off with Caleb Williams and the Bears.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: The number for them sitting at nine wins. And this
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: is not a commentary on Caleb.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: But I think it's under.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I'm just looking at the schedule. You need wins over
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: the Packers and the Lions. Uh, they're at San Francisco
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: at Houston. Just under examination of the schedule, to get
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: to that number means some wish casting for me.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: So therefore I'm gonna say under.
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: Okay, So nine is a problem to me.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: It's a mistake. Should be at nine and a half
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: or eight and a half. When you put it at nine,
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: you give me a chance to do this it's a push. Oh,
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: it's right at nine. That's perfect nine and eight. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: it's not about Caleb because I think that offense is
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: going to be great. It's about expecting the eber Flus
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: defense to be that good. Like just because they finished
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: last season on a hot streak, they're not going to
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: be that good.
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: They're a little thin up front.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: What did you say was the one of the hardest
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: division in the NFNFC North. Yeah, it's not a commentary
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: on Caleb. But by the way, just they know you
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: heard it here. The commissioner had back surgery. Like prior
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: to that, all the hugs on the stage, so every
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: time I saw Huggis cringe from it because back surgery
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: is real.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Though, the Jets hope Aaron Rodgers plays more than one
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: series in twenty twenty four under sitting at nine and
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: a half, and I think it's under road games against
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: the Niners, Steelers, Dolphins, Bills tags.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: I'm going under trick, I'm gonna go over.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: I like their team build this year. I think the
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: offensive line makes sense. I think there's depth that wide receiver.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: It's a good looking Jets roster.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: I'm actually we match here.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: I also think that for your fantasy purposes, like Freese Hall,
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: you're gonna want to draft him very high this year.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: I think they're going to use him a ton. I
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: ultimately think that this is really a function of more
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: health this season. I think they got sort of digged
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: for health last year.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Now they'll be healthier this year.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: That's kind of how like what love of averages maybe
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: works out.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: So as long as I stay healthy, they're good.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: All right. Let's go to the Dallas Cowboys.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: They have nine games against twenty twenty three playoff teams.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: They're total sitting at ten and a half, and if
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: those games were in the playoffs, I would probably say
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: something different. But because these are regular season games, I'm
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: going to take the Dallas Cowboys just based on the division.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I think they get four wins right there, starting off
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: against the Giants at the Commanders.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: I've got the Cowboys.
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: I disagree because the Cowboys are a lot like me
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: after back to back picks titles champions on Game Devue,
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: I'm high on my own supply. I don't have my
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: eye on the ball, and I don't handle success well
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: under for the Cowboys.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: I own your own supply.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: I also agree with the assessment in large part because
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: I'm still concerned about their all line. What is going
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: on with this on line? And now you have even
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: bigger questions in the run game, and your old line is.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: A big question mark. It's just that's gonna be an
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: under for me.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Get pump football fans.
• 30:18

• 30:38
  Speaker 2: the schedule has been released and analyze, let's get into
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: some division winner predictions. Will start out in the NFC West. Greg,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: the forty nine ers projected.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Do you project them? I do?
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: This was difficult for me, but I consider the RAMS,
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: I consider the CX.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's a runaway, but I love that
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: the forty nine ers wound up keeping Debo, Samuel and
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: Brandon Ayuk, and it has the feel of like a
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: one last time together before we have to pay some
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: other contracts. Maybe than Debo's not, but they're just so
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: consistent on offense that any decline that they have in defense,
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: I have some questions about the secondary.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: I think won't be that big of a deal.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: They win the division, all right, Let's go to where
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs have won the division of billion times in
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: a row.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Does anything change.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: A billion and one? No, it does not change.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: In this one.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: We've talked a lot about the Chiefs, and for a
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: good reason. In large part there's this guy's name is
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes. As long as he's there, they're always going
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: to be a contention. That defense last year was the
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: heart and soul of the team and that actually made
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: it even easier for Patrick Mahomes to succeed.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: So play it forward, ad Xavierworthy.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: All right, so things stay the same. Let's go over
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: to the NFC South. The Bucks have won the division
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: last year. The Falcons are the favorites, and I actually
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: agree with that, considering how close the Atlanta Falcons were
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: to being in the playoffs last year. In Income's kir Cousins.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: They also get Michael Pennix Junior. They didn't necessarily have
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: a quarterback that they trusted. Now they might have two.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I think that gives the Falcons the advantage, and that's
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: why I've got them picked.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Let's go to C. J. Stroud and the Texans. They
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: went from worse to first. They won on the AFC South.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Will they run it back?
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: Brick, I say no, just because I kind of like
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: that plus three twenty there with with the Colts, I
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: think this is a three way race that's about equal.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: So I'm taking the team that's predicted to go in third.
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: I really like their line play. If you're just adding
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: up the offensive line Lexi and the defensive line. In
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: my heart of the Colts, they might have one of
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: the best O line D line combinations in the entire to.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: The line talk.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: The line talk always works out. Let's go from line
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: talk to lion talk. We go to NFC North where
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Cynthia's Lions won the division last year. Running it back, Cynthia,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: let's say it in May four.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Yes, the Lions are running it back.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: Why because of their line. They pay their oh line.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: They figured it out. I know they lost the guard
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: he's out here in Los Angeles.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: That's gonna be a problem. But they drafted really well.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: And this is another year of continuity between the majority
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: of the pieces on this offense.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: So run it back, Lions. I'm really excited for this.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: I'm really happy about it.
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: Again, favor I like that.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: Now this is a nice it's a nice moderate favoritism,
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: moderate favorite, which is what people of homerism.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: It should be clarified as moderate favoritism. And I say
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: that because we're gonna talk about the AFCs. I am
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: going to pick the Baltimore Ravens to win the AFC
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: nor And the reason not just the fact that they
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: returned with the reigning MVP, but the fact that if
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: your concerns are about them not running the ball with
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Derrick Henry is there, you can get rid of that concern.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: This is it. You got the head coach of the
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: GM who.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: They're signing and running back because this signing is a
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: little bit different. Yes, the years have piled up, but
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: the guy has continued to pile on the yardage and
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: he's just difficult to forget.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: When he's in the backfield with the MVP. I do
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: think that means something.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: Let's go to the.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: NFC East, the Cowboys taking home the crown last season, Cynthia,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: did they run it back? You didn't think they were
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: going to get to ten and a half wins.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Fly Eagles Fly the road, Fly Eagles Fly. I think
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: it's back to being the Eagles to lose. Not only
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: do they improve both offensive and defensive coordinators, but.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Look at their stinking draft.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: How on earth did the other thirty one teams allow
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: them to get two of the three best corners in
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: the league.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Somebody tell me how that even happened. I don't even know.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: People don't like defensive players.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: Always done it again.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Okay, but let's be honest. It's also Jalen Hurts he's
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: going back. It's kind of a big deal, the whole
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: thing Eagles.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Let's go all right.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Speaking of good quarterbacks, the Bills currently favorites to win
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: the AFC East because they have a giant, mechanized throwing
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: machine a quarterback who can also run the ball.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: But do you agree with that?
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: I do?
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: I look at them four straight years, not the Patriots.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: The AFC is going for you, No plus twenty eight?
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: We hear you, Greg, doubting the Patriots.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, so people are misunderstanding what happened in Buffalo this offseason.
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: Everyone's talking about what they lost, How about what they kept?
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: This guy Josh Allen, how about the continuity on.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: The rest of the roster though John Dawkins baby nineteen
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: of twenty two players that I project to start this
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: year for them, we're on the roster and actually haven't
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: changed that much. Stefan Diggs, they will miss him, but
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: I think it's a committee approach. A really good offensive line.
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: We know Sean McDermott can get it done defensively. I
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: think they should be bigger favorites than that over the
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: Dolphins and the Jets.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: All right, so we feel it's a deal. Yeah, it's
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: a deal.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Right now.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: You got the numbers. Greg Rostal's giving you surper.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: As you said, consecutive picks championships for this man coming up.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: It might be made, but it's number two early for
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: some Super Bowl predictions, especially because.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Well I know mine is gonna be right. Are the
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Chiefs gun in three p Do any of us again
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: not pick the Chiefs? We'll find out coming up.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Next on Game Davit Schedule release presented bib Rice because
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: it's time for SEZ the season presented by Caesar's Sportsbook.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: The Super Bowl Odds.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: According to the folks at Caesars Sportsbook, they have a
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: rematch who.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Both plus five to seventy five? Are the Niners and
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs and.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: The Lions in that first column, and yeah.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: The Lions sharing their odds with the Bengals and the Texans.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: And then you have to add some numbers to get
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: to the Bills, Eagles, Cowboys, and the Packers. But ultimately,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: because we're all looking forward to Super Bowl fifty nine,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: played next February in New Orleans, so let's make some
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: early super Bowl predictions.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Cynthia, who's gonna win the sum I thought.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: You were talking to yourself and you're like, well, we're
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: not done, Patrick, And.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: I was like, what, okay, let's talking to the Super
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Bowl MVP.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: If there's one thing I can tell you is that
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: coding in may is not really sound math.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: So why not go with my heart?
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: And my heart says the lines are within striking distance,
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: which means for the purposes of this show.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: There it is.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: Jered go, Jered go.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Can't get tired of that?
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Sorry, never get tired.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: Never get At some point, though, is it, like, I
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: don't know, is it almost like condescending that he's the
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: only quarterback that gets his own It's almost like patium
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: on condescending.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: You know he was treated a little before something anymore.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Though we do have some some other number one overall
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: picks who have this no body believed in me story,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: but Jared should be able to tout that.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: What do you think, Greg, I am also going for value,
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: and I'm also going for a pick you can't hold
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: me to. It's it's may. So let's go a big
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: ish Buffalo Bills. I want to pick a team that's
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: there year after year in the final eight, a coaching
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: staff that I trust, who added the bissing piece, what
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: wide receiver made more big catches in the big moments
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: When Patrick Mahomes needed a play in the playoffs the
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: last couple of years, who do you look to?
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: Marquez Valdus Scanting.
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: So what Marquez Valdus Scanty MVS is gonna do is
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: give you about three hundred and seventy five yards in
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: the regular season, and then when you get to the playoffs,
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: Josh Allen's going to look for someone He'll just go
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: I guess I'll just throw it up to MVS and
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: they'll win some big time ball games. They'll get off
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: the schneid, and I think they have a great defense.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: They win Super Bowl, that's.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: An incredible super Bowl. We'll stop their shows over a
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: good job.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it will be fun.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I am picking surprise, surprise the Baltimore Ravens because ultimately
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: for them not to be in the Super Bowl, it
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: took a sequence of circumstances. And I know people are
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: gonna think, well, the Ravens could have run the ball more.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: The Ravens had three drives late in this game. They
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: got one hundred and sixty plus.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Yards and three points out of them.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, this punch out by Lugerius Snead, ultimately, I think
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: is the play that kept the rape. That's what it
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: took to keep the Ravens out of the Super Bowl
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: last year. Fractions of an inch. The ball's not round, Cynthia,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: what do you see?
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: I think that's the exact moment the Titans were like,
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: we're gonna pay him a bunch of money to come here.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: We've isolated it.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Because the value is not just getting him on your team.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: He's not playing for the Kansaity Chiefs and ruining my life.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Download the Caesar sportsbook Gap using code TV one thousand.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Place your first bet.

• 38:51

• 38:53

• 38:57
  Speaker 2: It it's time for you to get ready to write
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: this down because we are gonna talk about some can't
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: miss games for the upcoming season, and which matchup do you.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Have your eyes on the most? Greg? Where is your
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: eye lingering?
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: I can feel the manic energy from the harbor coming
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: at me already. It's gonna be great. John Harbaugh, Jim
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: Harbaugh across the street at SOFI, Ravens and Chargers. I
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: was at the weird press conference they did before the
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl in New Orleans. Do you remember that when,
