Hutton & Withrow: MLB Playoff Format Is Broken, Derrick Henry vs. Titans & SEC Week 5 Picks | Hour 2 · Hutton & Withrow Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It is Hutton and Withrow. We are presented by Hard
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Rock Bet and through Sport and State, owned by Clay Travis.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Same thing with, you can tell, Clay Travis Law. Accidents
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: don't wait for great timing, one bad moment, a wreck,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a fall, a doctor who wasn't paying attention, and suddenly
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you're fighting an insurance company that does this every single day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: And that's why Clay started Clay Travis Law. He's a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt Law grad, and he built a firm around the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: idea that people deserve someone willing to pay attention, ask
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the hard questions, push back when things don't add up.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: experienced trial attorneys on your side who bring the fight
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to corporations and insurers based in Nashville, trusted across the country.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Car and truck wrecks, rideshare accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: product liability. If you were wrong, they want to hear
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: about it. Here's what they promise.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Honesty.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: They don't sugarcoat your case. You'll hear what it's actually worth,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: not what you want to hear. Case evaluation is free.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: It's a great charge.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: No charge, no pressure, no hassle. Just tell them your
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: story and go to claytravislaw.com or call 877-222-4444.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: That's claytravislaw.com. No case is too big or too small.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I've been told that multiple people have some Crockett coffee
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to discuss. We'll have that later as well. Makes me
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: want to order some as well right now. Chad, my
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: wife is.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Actually delivering me a new cup of Crockett coffee as
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: we speak. What great timing. So I reach out to
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: get it. Here's the new cup. I'm going with a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: dark roast today, fellas. And it's terrific.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It's fabuloso. That would be King Mountain, and it's David
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Crockett for the record. Yes, yes. On this show.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: On this show, it's David Crockett. We honor his God's
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: name and not Davey.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: David Crockett. Chad, so Major League Baseball's got this weird schedule.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I asked Jason about it yesterday whenever he joined us
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: about the three games at home or whatever and the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: scheduling where they don't want things to push much into November.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: What do you make of it? And, I mean, what
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a comeback, the way that game ended with Philly against Atlanta. Yeah.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So, look, here's what I make of it. And I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: posted this. I want to read it because the response
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to what I posted is amazing. I said, I will repeat.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: This is something I've said on this show. I've said
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: it before. They play 162 games to decide division champs.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: MLB cannot have a system in place where a division
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: champion season is is decided in a three-game series. The
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: MLB postseason format is broken. I firmly stand behind this. Now,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I post this while the Houston Astros are losing in
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: two games to the Chicago White Sox. So immediately, people
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: are like, F you. Astros suck. They didn't even deserve
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: to be in the playoffs. The Astros, Hutton, were 81-81.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: They were 500, and they won a terrible AL West
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: this year as a 500 team, okay? I still believe
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: if you are the division champ, you should not play
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in a round that is called the wildcard round. Wildcard round.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Try to follow the logic here, everybody, on what I'm saying.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: The wildcard round. should feature wildcard teams. If you want
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: to make it, go back to a one-game playoff.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: One-game deal. Wildcard teams.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Have some elevator format where you have two teams at
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the bottom that play a one-game playoff. They go wait
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a team that's waiting for them to play in a
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: three-game playoff. It's not going to take up that much
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: more time. And if we go into November, so be it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: If you need to start the season in late March,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a week early, go ahead and do that if you
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: need to.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Don't care. What I don't want to see is my
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Who finished six games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: 26 games over.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: 500.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Not a.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: 500 team like the Houston Astros. To everyone online, by
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the way, please, Brooks, by God, clip this. I am
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a Braves fan.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I don't give a damn about the Houston Astros.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And that tweet was not in support of the Houston
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Astros or their. 500 record that won them a division.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: The Braves finished 26 games over. 500. They finished six
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: games ahead of the Phillies. This is a 162-game season.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Baseball is not meant to be decided in one game.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: It's not meant to be decided in a three-game series.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Five games is stretching it. This is a sport built
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: for seven-game series to decide it. If you win four straight, great.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Tip your cap, shake their hand.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Move on, okay? This is BS.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: The way the Braves are treated in this format, the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: way other division champions are treated. No division champion, even
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the Astros, should be forced to play in the wildcard round.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, now they're about to have a lockout.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: They need to tweak this and figure it out where
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: this isn't happening. And here is what people will say. Man,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I love postseason baseball. I love the drama it brings.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I love what it does. Here as a fan is
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: what I freaking hate, okay? Yep.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Three things in yesterday's game that just really bothers me.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Michael Harris, who is very fast, hit into three double
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: plays all season.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: The dude hit into two yesterday.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Two. He almost doubled his season total after 162 games.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Two.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Awful timing.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: One with bases loaded, one out. Hits into double plays.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Did not happen all year. Dylan Lee, great lefty reliever
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: for the Braves, had not given up a home run
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to a left-handed batter all season. Within three pitches, he
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: gave up moonshots to Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: tie the game.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: That is not, man, postseason baseball. It's just different.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: To a fan of that team, that is excruciating to watch.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Things that have happened all year and have never happened
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: to happen in that game and then to lose in
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: extra innings. And to know now you're going to face
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Zach Wheeler, the ace for the Phillies.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: With your bullpen.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: In game three. And basically what is a split starter
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: bullpen game for the Braves. It's going to be, I
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: don't even know who's starting right now. Martin Perez, Grant Holmes,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and then a collection of good relief pitchers for the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Braves that will pitch this game. It's all hands on deck, obviously.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Do or die game for both teams. But that is excruciating.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Here's also what I hate about yesterday's game. Walt Weiss,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: who I love and has done a great job this year,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: pinch hits Dom Smith with a game on the line.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Runners on first and second, two outs, bottom of the 10th.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Braves have a chance to tie it or win it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: And the dude sees three pitches and strikes out. He
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: has seen a total of six pitches in this series,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: two strikeouts so far, and not even close. I mean,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: complete anticlimactic. I like to call him Uncle Dom, Uncle
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Dom Smith. I have no idea why Uncle Dom is
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: put in that spot. Just a miserable– experience for me
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: as a fan yesterday in that game. All it does
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: is make me more angry that Major League Baseball has
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: created a system where a division champ that finished six
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: games ahead of the team they're playing in the first
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: round has to go head-to-head with that team to start
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the playoffs in a three-game series. I'm not bitching because
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: it's the Phillies. I respect the Phillies. They're a great team.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: They are more clutch than the Braves, typically. Those superstars
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: are the Phillies. That's why I didn't want to play them. Also,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: if it's a five-game series, I'm fine with it. It's
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a seven-game series.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind, the Braves had to face the Phillies
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: like nine games out of the last 21, and they
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: were beating them in those games to win the division.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: So they've also had to face them a ton late
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in the season, and they went through this marathon to
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: win that division and now to turn around and Major
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: League Baseball to say, by the way, you've got to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: beat them in a three-game series to move on.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Good luck. I hate the whole thing. And what is
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a marathon of a season? Why the rush to just
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: speed things up in the postseason? Three games at home.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: If you make the playoffs, you should host a damn game.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: That's the other part of this. They just want to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: get through the rounds and hit fast forward to where
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you end up with the National and American League. championship.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know, though, why the rush. Like this thing
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: where we don't play in November. Then don't play in November.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: There are ways to do this where you don't have
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to play in November. Used to, they were able to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: pull this off, you know, until we saw Jeter become Mr.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: November.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I'm Why the rush if you're going to have the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: longevity of the season.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: As it is?
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. Amen.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Amen to all that, Hutton. And then we're going to
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: go from three to five. I'd still like to go
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to seven. When you get to the final four in
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: each league, have a seven-game series to decide those also.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know why we've changed it to this level.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I think it's completely broken. Also, the Braves didn't find
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: out until late, late last night, middle of the night,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: that they're going to play at 7 o'clock today instead
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of 1 o'clock. that's also crazy because everybody else lost.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: So now they need a primetime slot. So Braves-Phillies game
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: three is going to be on television in primetime. But,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, you get Red Sox-Yankees as a great example
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: to what you're saying. We're done in two nights with
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the Yankees blowing them out in both games.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: How about Sonny Gray? Cubs-Padres. Sorry, JT. Cubs get blown
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: out in two games.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Done.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: The Astros that everybody thinks I'm a fan of. losing
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: two games to the White Sox. By the way, I
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: was rooting for the White Sox in that series because
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I liked that story better than the Astros.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Mattress Mack is pissed off at you. Yes, yes.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Mattress Mack will never speak to me again. John McClain
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: may not speak to me either. But yeah, I mean,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: it's broken. Hopefully we can tweak this. And just on
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: its face, the wild card round should not feature a division.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Champion yeah I totally agree did you see Sonny Gray
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: props to him for just saying it like it was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: where he's like do I think I should have been
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: pulled after 70 pitches no I'm the best American League
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: pitcher when it comes to going through the lineup for
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a third time no I don't think I should have
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: been pulled in this game I love it he said
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I gave up a solo homer and a couple singles.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love the guy, Smyrna High School, Smyrna
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Bulldogs finest, Sonny Gray. And he's right. I mean, it's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: a total mistake in hindsight. I'm sure the manager does
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: not like getting called out for that decision based on
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there was some strategy involved into why he
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: did what he did last night.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: But it definitely did not work out. How's the chat?

  Speaker 2: guy jake.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Oh 100 percent edge and black black uh when i
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: was coaching it you know i've it's probably what's gonna
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: kill me at the end of the day but i
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: can't i cannot function without and my wife has 19
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: different flavors of creamers it's like what what you what

  Speaker 3: up straight uh straight out of.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: The bean hey jake when how long were you coaching.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Man, I coached for a totality of 11 years. I
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: did six in Division I. I did one in NAIA.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I actually did one in high school when my dad
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: passed away. And then in JUCO, I was 3-0 on
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: last chance to use.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: So the story with the insider, whatever, Don Julio. The
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: info that clearly no one wanted to even try to
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: use because they probably already had it. Did you just
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: laugh at that? Was that just like a mundane story
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to you that was happening in your era? Or is
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: this like the new era where everyone wants to be
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a coach?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure it's like shrinkage at a grocery store.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Sometimes the Cheerios fall off the shelf and bust open,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: but it's just one thing. They're going to be fine. Now,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: there's levels to it, obviously. It's one thing if you're
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: a spy to tell somebody, War plans, it's another to
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: tell exactly where the spies are. So to me, I
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: don't think it's kind of– it's just such a shocking
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: thing for people to find because you really don't hear
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: about stuff like that. Even when it happens, it really
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: doesn't leak. But again, trade secrets, it's just– Kind of
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: funny if you put it that way, because we're talking
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: about player evaluations or injuries or something like that, as
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: opposed to, guys, we just put in a double reverse
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: pass that's definitely going to work this week. Those are
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: different levels of, are we going to ever let you
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: out of prison again? If it was me, it'd get
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: medieval real quick, but it's not me, thank goodness.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Everyone's a friend of someone like this, Chad. We know
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a guy named Ryan Mudd. This guy reminds me of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Ryan Mudd. He's just so into whatever his hobby is.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: He made this his mission to help out whatever team.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: He's got all this intel on Auburn. And no one
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: wanted it. I mean, I feel bad for the guy.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I also, and like you were just saying, I mean,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: this is recruiting evaluations and not, this is when we're
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: going to run this trick play. We're tipping someone off
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: during a game about, hey, we're running right on this play.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Different levels of espionage involved here. I actually got some
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: insider information on this guy. Oh, nice.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Jenrath or Don Julio. Yeah.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: He was fired from Williamson County Parks and Rec for
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: being just very odd.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Uh, in his job there. Uh, so this happens.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: And Jake, that's what I want to get to is,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: is this a cautionary tale also of there are way
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: too many cooks in the kitchen on these college football
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: staffs right now.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: You were in coaching for a while. These staffs are
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: so bloated. I'm looking at this dude and thinking, how
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: did this guy even get a part-time gig at Auburn university?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: One of the top programs in America, a big time
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: sec school. And I'm looking at him and seeing what
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: he did and thinking, this dude was one of your
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: employees at one point.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I'm a Tennessee guy. I'd be pissed. I know he's
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: at UT. But if he was working for the Tennessee
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: football program, I'm thinking, why are we hiring these guys
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to do anything for the program?
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, the arms race isn't just for facilities, right?
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: It isn't just for NIL money. Now that we have
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: the transfer portal and, you know, you talk to any GM,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: you talk to Jim Nagy at Oklahoma, you talk to anybody,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: you've had to build a new wing. basically of the
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: program uh so you want to have as many people
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: i mean you remember how many people nick saban had
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: at practice like so many that they had a change
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: they had like a the the assistant to the assistant
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: defensive ends coach and he only helped with certain pass
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: rush downs like so you're trying to get as many
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: people as possible but when you allow that type of
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: access see that's you know again it's just like anything
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: it's like in government institutions Typically, you compartmentalize access, and
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: it seems that that really wasn't done here. They trusted
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: this guy with a lot of information, and I guarantee
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: it doesn't happen again because now when you are allowing
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: that many people in there, it's why I still can't
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: believe they got away with the Manhattan Project the way
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: they did for so long, even though that one guy
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: tried to cook us, but we know how that worked out.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: But no, look, you need an army now, but you
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: need to vet that army for sure.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Yes. So Tennessee-Auburn this weekend, I don't know what it
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: means to Alex Golish with the short time he spent
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: in Knoxville. I can tell you this means a lot
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: to Josh Heupel at home to handle business against a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: guy that since he left, everyone's saying the offense hasn't
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: been as good, and it's not been in many ways
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: since Alex Golish was the.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator at Tennessee.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: What do you think about this matchup and how meaningful
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: it is on both sides of this with Heupel going
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: against his former apprentice in Alex Golish.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, you never want to let your kid
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: beat you in the driveway because the minute they beat
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: you in the driveway, you're probably never going to beat
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: him again. It's like my father used to have to
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: show me every now and then we'd go out and
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: he'd have to remind me until that one day he didn't.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: And then I never lost again. So, yeah, from a
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: personal standpoint, yes. But just more from a macro sense
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: on the Tennessee side, after what happened against Texas last
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: You fought back. I love the drop kick, onside kick.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Just make sure you drop it in the right place.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: You want to give your fans something to go home
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: and feel good about against a team that you're better than. Tennessee,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: from a roster standpoint, is better than Auburn. I think
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: they're better than Auburn on the line of scrimmage on
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: both sides of the ball. The way that Auburn's been
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: playing right now offensively doesn't really make sense to the
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: personnel that they have. If you're unwilling to run a
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: running quarterback, don't get a running quarterback. That's why God
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: invented pocket passers. uh you know you don't drive you
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: don't buy a lamborghini to just drive it around your
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: neighborhood i'm taking that thing out in the city and
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: putting the top down and there's probably a baddie next
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: to me which is my wife which is my wife
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: um but uh on the on the tennessee side again
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: you're coming off that loss you want to get back
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: in the race you want to get phase on some
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: confidence and then on the auburn side This is another
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: big opportunity in year one for goalists to show that
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: things are different. Auburn has won two one-score games, which
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Auburn couldn't win a one-score game in the spring game
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the last four years. Winning those two against Baylor and
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: then against Vanderbilt. you know, now that I say that,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: that doesn't really inspire a lot of confidence, but it's
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: still a one score game. So yeah, it means, it
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: means a ton to both teams. And man, if you
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: look at both these schedules, including Auburn's in October, go
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: through Auburn's October schedule. Um, it's basically you having to
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: fight one of the guys from mortal combat for.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: A whole month. Man, that brings up a great game.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: That's an old school reference right there. Uh, with the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: names there. Hey, um, Are you on board with Mississippi
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: State the way Chad and I are on board?
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: How on board with, like, are we going to play
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: off on board?
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to beat Alabama.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And I said in the preseason, I could see them
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: being the Oklahoma of this year, the surprise entrant into
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: the college football playoff as an SEC team.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Look, I think when you... And everybody talks about Camario,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: and they should. I mean, he's a freak. And the
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: craziest thing about Camario is he's not as good as
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: he's going to be once he gets his intermediate passing
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: game where it should be. We know he can flick
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: the wrist and the ball go 80 yards, and he
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: can saute him a little bit. I mean, he can
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: drop it in the bucket. He's just not up there.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: throwing two seamers and hoping you can't catch up to it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: But I think the most impressive part of Mississippi State
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: is the pieces around him. That's what I've been impressed with.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: And Lebby does a lot of great things on offense.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: That kind of delayed inside zone where he gets the
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: quarterback's hands up to try and get the linebackers to drop.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: That's worked out. But along the line of scrimmage, you know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State's always had a couple, but it feels like
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: they've got some more. So, yeah, I mean, I wouldn't
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: be shocked if this Mississippi State team did anything, but
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I will say they may have the worst five-game stretch
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: in all of college football.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's brutal.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: So here's the thing. If you can go 3-2 over
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: that five-game stretch, you can for sure go 10-2, but
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: you'd have to beat Ole Miss on the road at
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: the end, which can happen. But, you know, Trinidad's a— Camario' s
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: a monster. Trinidad's a witch.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Is Florida the team we've seen, or do you think
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: we see the gauntlet come up with them as well?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: And is this a weird matchup for them, kind of
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: similar to the way Ole Miss had to come off
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: an emotional win? They just throttled Ole Miss. Now they're
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: playing Missouri.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what we talked about when we did
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: our prediction show yesterday. Here's the thing about Florida, though.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm a... I said when Summerall got the job,
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: and look, I wanted Summerall at Auburn. I like Gullish.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I think Gullish would be fine, but there's a reason
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I wanted John at Auburn. I think it takes a
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: certain type of archetype of mind to have success at Florida.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Who are the two guys that have had success at
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Florida that we can remember? It's Steve Spurrier and it's
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Urban Meyer. Huge egos. And they'll tell you about it.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: John's the same way. John may be more nuts than
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: both of them. And I mean that in like a
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: good way. So I say that to say, I think
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: this Florida team is going to stay hungry. I don't
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: think this is a mirage. I don't think people patting
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: them on the back saying, man, y'all are doing so good, man.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: We're so proud of y'all is going to have any effect.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: So I, I do think Missouri is going to shorten
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: the game. I think this is going to be a
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: tight game. But as long as Florida can keep running
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: the ball like this, it takes so much pressure off
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Aaron and, And Buster's just doing a geometry with proofs
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: class in front of everybody pre-snap, and nobody knows what
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: to do. Kind of reminds me of being in geometry
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: with proofs class. I can't even say it anymore. With
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Miss Bray. Shout out Miss Bray. But how I got
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: a C- in that one? You want to talk about
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Don Julio?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: I had a Don Julio sitting next to me, thank God.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Man, I prayed for a C-minus in some of those, though.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I feel like I had a Miss Bray also in
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: school at some point, too.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Did every school in the South have a Miss Bray?
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I had a Miss Bray at some point.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: She was Belgium. She was from Belgium. I don't know
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: if we're talking about the same lady, but it's the
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: only chick I ever met from Belgium.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I think mine was Dutch.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, if so, facto.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Could you give us the Cliff Notes version of John
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Sumrall in Auburn? And the history there or why he's
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: not at Auburn.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: The short version of it, because I'm having a hard
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: time connecting all the dots as to why there's some
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: animosity there.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Well, and again, I mean, this comes from, you know,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: straight from the source. I'm not going to say their
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: name and I'm not one of those people that. you know,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: makes up anonymous sources. Like I can tell you what
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: happened basically was Summerall's wife, okay, is an Auburn girl, okay?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, John also coached at Troy. It was just
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: a really good fit. Summerall at Auburn is a really
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: good fit. I know he wanted the job. Um, but
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: he didn't want to have to keep DJ Dirk. And I,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: I can, this is the best when you're going to
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: take the head coach, just your first big shot at it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: I'm bringing my guys. I'm not sorry that you didn't
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: want DJ Dirk and to be the head coach, but
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: that doesn't mean I have to keep them as defensive coordinator.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: And John Dirk, thought, if the person who I know
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: is correct is correct, that the AD, Cohen, had talked
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: to Durkin and told him that there's not a guarantee
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: he will be retained if Summerall gets it. But then
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Summerall gets wind of Cohen's doing a contract extension talk
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: with DJ Durkin about the new coach that's coming in,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: which was the opposite of what Summerall was told. So
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: obviously Summerall gets pissed off, and it kind of blows
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: up from there, and he goes to Florida. See, Auburn's AD.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Is, and again, I'm trying to say this the nicest
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: way possible. I think if you put his brain in
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: a dog, it'd walk back. I really believe that. That
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: is the most childish little league.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Junior varsity thing I've ever seen in my life. Like you,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I'm the head coach. I'm, you're going to tell me
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: what defensive coordinator I'm going to bring in. What are
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: you going to do next? Go to the, go to
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: the Pentagon and tell me the next general should be right.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Like it just, it is so asinine and stupid. And look,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I hope goalish works out. I think there's a chance
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: that it does. It's just unfortunate because you blew a
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: big one because you're just not good at this.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: So, higher concern level right now, Texas A & M
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: or South Carolina, based on what you've seen in the
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: early going in the SEC?
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Well, I would say Texas A & M because I
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: think South Carolina fans knew this was probably the swan
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: song year for Beamer anyway. I don't think there's some
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: collective gasp in Columbia that South Carolina's not very good.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: A & M, however... just went to the college football playoff,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: returned all these guys. Elko is the monster supposed to
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: still being created. And all of a sudden now you realize,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: you know, you forgot to give it arms. So like,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: is this a, you know, just anomaly kind of rare
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: thing with Elko that's going to happen? Or are we
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: starting to see maybe what Texas A & M is
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: going to be, which is the opposite of what a
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: lot of people, including myself, thought this team was going
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: to get better. I think Marcel Reed's a microcosm. of
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: what this team is right now. It's a regression when
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: we thought it was going to be a progression.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Man, it's always great to catch up with you. Enjoying
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the show on your end as well with On3. Got
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: some great stuff rolling there. Biggest upset of the week
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: in the SEC. Do you have one? Chad's going Mississippi State.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's not crazy. I would say, and it's
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: not a big one, I think Kentucky beat South Carolina.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I think they were a two-and-a-half, three-and-a-half point dog last
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: time I saw it. Um, that'd be the one I'd take.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: I just don't trust Auburn, uh, against Tennessee. Cause they're
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: going to try and, you know, uh, turn Byron Brown
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: into drew breeze. I don't see a huge upset this weekend.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Does he hang on to the football too long?
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Well, well, it's here's the thing. It's a mixture of
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: both because if you're, if you're deficient on the offensive
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: line anywhere, but especially on the interior and, And you
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: have a running quarterback. Byron Brown is just as good
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: running as he is passing. He's a really good runner.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: He's a good passer, but he's not a pocket passer.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: So if you watch the way he played at USF,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: this is not the way he's been played at Auburn.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: It's like somebody told him, hey, if you want to
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: be in the NFL, you've got to stay in the pocket.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: That's not who you are. I want to be shortstop
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: for the Braves. I'm never going to be shortstop for
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: the Braves. That's not who I am. So why don't
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: I do what I'm best at? And again, if you're
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: worried about the quarterback getting hurt running, don't have a
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: system where the quarterback runs or don't bring a running
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: quarterback in. So that's why.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Always pissed off for greatness when it comes to Auburn.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: It's Jake Craig. Good to see you, bro.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Hey, great to see y'all, man. Happy for y'all. And again,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: anytime y'all need me, Blaine, or Arconi, just hit us up.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Tell them all we said hello. Thanks, brother.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Y'all be good.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: See y'all. Always great to catch up with Craig and Cone.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And certainly we highly recommend checking out their show. And
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: he knows Auburn as well as anyone. Oh, yeah.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: So I wanted to get to the bottom of the
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: whole John Cohen, John Sumrall thing. And you could tell
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: it was way more personal for Sumrall based off everything
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: he said.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. After that win. Absolutely. Coming up, one big thing

• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I feel like this spot's a good time to give
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: you my limited knowledge of the WNBA playoffs at Everyday Hutton.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Here's my update.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Some girl for Dallas broke the playoff scoring record last
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: night in a game. with 45 points. And I'm not,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not exactly even sure who it was. So there's
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: our daily WNBA update from Chad.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Did she get upset when asked a question by a, like, um,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: a reporter that is normally not covering the league?
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably said something like, I'm not about all the BS,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: but let me tell you why I am about the
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: BS right now. Like, the one who went into the
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: stands the night before in Indiana. Yeah, that's my knowledge.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: You should just ask me anything about the WNBA, and
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what little I've seen on the periphery.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I know something, but I don't have full details on
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: the story.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Chad is one, though, can find eye on, which is
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: very unusual. Yeah, it's way down my scroll list on
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: YouTube TV.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: You know, there's no numbers associated with the channels, but
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: you can order them in any way.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I had to go way down when I found that
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: game on ION. I can tell you that. I have
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: in my hand 16 games across the National Football League
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: for Week 4. They will not be playing on ION,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: but you can find them practically anywhere else. Time for
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: one big thing on every NFL game. Just a quick note, Carolina,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: New York, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, and Baltimore, those are the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: home teams with an over 50% chance of rain. So
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: if you're playing these games, keep that weather in mind
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: for those margins. Thursday night football, Steelers and Browns, 2-1
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: against 2-1. Steelers favored by three. Over under at 38.5.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Primetime AFC North rivalry here. A surprise that both teams
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: are 2-1, of course. Aaron Rodgers wanted to thin the playbook.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: And this is the offense we thought we would see.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: It resulted in multiple first quarter touchdowns. Chad, it's 123 games.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: The Steelers had gone 123 games without two touchdowns or
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: more in the first quarter. They snapped that just by
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: thinning the playbook. Who knew? And Mason Graham for the Browns. Currently,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: right now, one of only three players with a sack
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: in each of the first three weeks.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has the clout and is the type of
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: quarterback that's done it long enough in this league that
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: he can tell reporters after a game, I need to
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: do a better job of telling the coaches what plays
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: don't work. And the very next week, plays start working.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: And it did work after he said that. Bob's over Baghdad, man.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Sunday night football, Detroit and Carolina. Lions favored by 3.5
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: over under at 48.5. Sunday night football here in Charlotte.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: The Lions know how to move the football, man, and
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: they do it on early downs. Play action, great with
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Jameer Gibbs. He does everything well. He had two touchdowns
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: rushing and another receiving last week. Carolina's going to be
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: able to tackle in space, and they need to protect
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young. He was pressured on 51% of his dropbacks
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: last week, and the Panthers are going into a bye
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: week in week five along with Kansas City. Atlanta and
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: New Orleans sticking with the Carolina division there. they're commemorating
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: the 20th anniversary of Katrina and reopening the Superdome. I
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: remember going down there, Titans Radio. Larry Stone sent me
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: down there, Chad. And there was this guy. I went
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: down a week early for the Titans Saints Monday night.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: It was Mr. Monday night with Bullitt. And I talked
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: to this guy who survived by tying an extension cord
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: around his waist and then hooking the other end to
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: a tree so he didn't drown. I mean, I was like, wow. Wow.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is just the street right beside Bourbon Street.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget that, what people went through during that.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Also, R.I.P.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Mike Atelier in this matchup. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Rest in
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: peace to one of the greats. Atlanta's offense found its footing,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: 35 points against Green Bay. Michael Penix Jr., your guy.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: He wasn't great throughout this entire game, but, I mean,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: points matter. They now face a Saints secondary. that gave
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: up a ton of plays to the Raiders. So maybe
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: take a flyer there if you want. Chad's guy, Michael
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Penix Jr. That's Penix, P-E-N-I-X. P-E-N-I-X.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: There's no S in Penix. And there's only W's when
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Michael takes the field. So bet accordingly. Sunday, 425 Eastern,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Chiefs and Raiders. 3-0 against 3-0. A 4.5 spread here,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: 47.5 over under.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Over the last 35 seasons, since 1990, 75% of teams
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: to start the season 3-0 end up making the playoffs.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: The Raiders came away with four takeaways in the fourth
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: quarter against the Saints last week. And it's the first
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: time in five years that we have high-octane offense like
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: this in matchup, which is crazy to think about with
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the Raiders involved, at week four or beyond a season.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: It's a matchup of unbeaten teams going into week four,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: each averaging over 30 points per game. And we haven't
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: seen this since the Rams and Cardinals played years ago.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: And I think they played in Mexico or something. The Raiders, Chad.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: The freaking Raiders.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: You said 70% of teams that start 3-0 make the playoffs?
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Since 1990. I'd like to say, welcome to the 30% club.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: You're Las Vegas Raiders. They will be in that 30%.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I love the story. I love the start. But this
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: team ain't making the playoffs.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Broncos, I would tend to... I would roll your way there, too.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: 49ers favored by three here as the Broncos visit San Fran.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Brock Purdy leads the league in passer rating and with
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: nine touchdown passes. The Broncos just beat the Rams, but
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: they still have things to work out in offense. Bo
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Nix completed four of 11 passes when he was pressured.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: It's the first time in 36 years the San Francisco
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: 49ers have started a season, consecutive seasons, at 3-0. We
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: have an overseas game. We have a European matchup here
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: in London. London. Colts and Commanders, Colts by 3.5. This
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: is in Tottenham, for those that care. Indy had three
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: turnovers last week, zero takeaways, still won that football game.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: The Commanders protected the football in their win in Week 3.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, crazy stat from NFL Research. Marcus Mariota threw
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: for three touchdowns without an interception last Sunday. It's the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: first such game for Mariota since Week 4 of 2019.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: 61 different quarterbacks had at least one game in which
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: they threw for three touchdowns without interception between Mariota's last
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: time and last week. That's insane.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: That is crazy. Also insane. Not insane to me, though.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: They're not selling tickets to this game. There's a lot
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: of reports out that they're having a hard time at
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Tottenham Hotspur selling tickets to this, to which I say, Yes,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: there can be too many international games, and we've reached
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: that point now with the NFL.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: This is the first time I've heard of the game
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: not selling well. That's something to follow. Rams and Eagles
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: are matching up Sunday 1 p.m. Philly, they know how
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: to score. The Eagles get a touchdown in 81% of
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: their trips inside the red zone. The Rams gave up
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: a 16-point halftime lead in Denver last week. I would
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: say battle the trenches. Again, watch for the weather in
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: that game. New England and Buffalo, Chad. Six and a
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: half points spread for Buffalo. 48 and a half over under.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Here's Brady, Joe Brady, with the Buffalo hunting a 4-0
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: start in back-to-back seasons for the first time. I take
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that back to the second time in franchise history. They
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: did it in 91 and 92. Drake May, seven turnovers
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: in his first three games. You ask, is that a lot? Yes,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: that's the most by a Patriots player. Not a quarterback,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Patriots player in 30 years. And he set out the
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: final eight minutes of the game against Jacksonville. Brable just
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: sat him and put in the backup.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: When Diana Rossini gets her vote back, when she rejoins
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the media after this season, she will vote for Drake
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: May for Comeback Player of the Year a year from now,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: based off his performance so far this year. So 2027,
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Comeback of the Year, by Diana Rossini, will be Drake May.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Mark my word. Okay. She's going to announce that on
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: her new podcast whenever that comes out, too. Yes. Jaguars,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: speaking of the team that beat the crap out of
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: New England, Jaguars on the road in Cincinnati. Jacksonville bidding
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: to start 3-1 or better in consecutive seasons for the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: first time since 1997-99 when the Titans owned them. Travis Hunter.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: He actually plays in the NFL. He made history in
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Week 3. He recorded his first career interception. He's one
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: of only four players to have an interception and a
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: touchdown catch within the first two seasons of his career.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Special teams doomed Cincinnati last week in Pittsburgh. A lot
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: of great play by Aaron Rodgers, but Two big turnovers
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: on special teams, really, lost on the game. Dallas and
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Houston is an interesting one. Urgency for Dallas, desperation for Houston.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: And the Cowboys' run defense has surrendered 140 or more
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: yards on the ground in consecutive weeks. Houston's trying to
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: find their run game. And I would say only 17
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: since 2023 have started 0-2 and made the playoffs. That
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: includes the 2023 and 2025 Houston Texans. They're used to
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: this spot. For whatever reason, they can't start fast. Vikings
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: are hosting the Dolphins. Ten and a half point spread here.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Vikings lead the NFL with 14 sacks. And they have
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: four sacks and multiple takeaways in each of their first
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: three games. That's getting it done. Miami has a minus
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: 36 point differential. Guard the point spread with care there.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Still better than the Titans. Still better than the Titans. Absolutely.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: They're more competitive, you're right. Cardinals and Giants. Cardinals favored
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: by a point and a half, over under at 44.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: The Giants were banged up on the defensive front. So
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: can they get Malik Nabors going downfield against the Arizona secondary?
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: The Arizona secondary allowed eight for 12 on conversions on
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: third down in week three. And maybe it's just about,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: is it good Jameis or bad Jameis that shows up?
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: If it's bad Jameis that shows up, We might have
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: good J.J. McCarthy that shows up the next week for
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: the New York Giants. So get ready for that switch.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Jets on the road against the Bears. Chicago's defense had
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: a signature Bears defensive performance on Monday Night Football. They
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: controlled the trenches with their front seven. The Jets' offense, meanwhile,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: remains lifeless in scoring position. They have touchdowns on just
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: two of their seven red zone tries. That's pathetic. But
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: not as bad as the Tennessee Titans, which we'll get to.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Chargers and Seahawks, Chad. Line here is seven. The Chargers
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: have failed to cross 80 yards on the ground three
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: straight weeks to begin the year. Mental errors for Mike
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: McDonald's crew lost the game last week in Washington for Seattle.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: It's unusual. The Chargers played well for two quarters in Buffalo.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about your upset pick. I'm like, Chad's
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: going to nail this. And then they start committing penalties
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: and they don't finish drives. They turn it over twice
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Yeah, quarterbacks in love. That's all
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: we can say. It's also anti-Jim Harbaugh with the Chargers.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Totally agree.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Going back to the ground game and what they're doing,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: this is not him. This is not his style or personality. No.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: This is bad for L.A. Also bad is Tampa Bay's offense.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: They turned the ball over on more than 20% of
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: their possessions so far. They're 0-3. They're hosting Green Bay,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: so it's Green Bay at Tampa Bay. 3.5 is the
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: spread here, 39.5 over-under. That's because it's going to be
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: scattered thunderstorms and humid. It's going to be 86, but
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: it's going to feel like 97. That's going to be
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: a miserable game to attend. Tampa was a part of
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: a game last week, Chad, that featured 17 punts and
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: combined with the Vikings to go four of 32 on
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: third down attempts. That is NFL offense at its worst.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: Or is it?
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Because finally, Tennessee Titans. They're traveling to Baltimore. 50% chance
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: of rain. Plenty of cloud cover. Wins at 10 miles
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: per hour. This is your Dayton, Ohio of the NFL
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: this coming weekend. Jesse Minter's got the Ravens rolling. And
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: here's Derrick Henry. Already 66 carries on the season. Six touchdowns.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: 4.6 yards per carry. He's averaging 100 yards rushing per game.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: For the entire game, the Titans ranked dead last in
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: total offensive plays in time of possession. And the one
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: standout player has been Jeffrey Simmons. He had 10 tackles.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Two tackles for loss, a sack, a quarterback hit or
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: so last week. But here's where it gets detailed. So
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: you have Cam Scadaboo generated a season-high 74 yards after
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: contact last week. Derrick Henry averages three yards per carry
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: after contact this season. He has 10,391 career yards after contact.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: That is insane to me. No other player is within
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: 4,000 yards of that mark. So, you know what? Double
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: the spread. It's 11.5. This is going to be boat
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: race city in what is going to be a miserable game.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: The Titans can't score. I think Henry scores multiple touchdowns.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: And Baltimore rolls. And Cam Ward doesn't answer questions postgame.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Tease that thing up to 20 is what you're saying.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: 20 is a good tease up for that one. Yeah,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: take the under. Take the under and take the Ravens.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Never more. That's a big thing on every NFL game. Yes.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Edgar Allen Poe would hate this game to watch it even.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: No one's going to enjoy watching Ravens-Titans. But I don't
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: think the Ravens will enjoy watching what's going to take
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: place as they watch this game.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: No, the Ravens want nothing to do with it. Keep
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: an eye on what's going on with Lamar Jackson. He
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: didn't practice yesterday. I think it's just rest. Bye weeks
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: begin next week. Panthers and Chiefs, so watch your fantasy
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: football teams.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Just mind games from the Ravens, too. We don't even
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: need our quarterback to practice this week. Just set out
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: with no explanation. No, he just didn't practice.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Well, why? Is he hurt? Is it a concussion protocol? No. No,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: he just didn't want to practice. We didn't really need it.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: We're good. Oh, I mean, it's so bad. I've enjoyed
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: watching this now. You know, just the death march, the
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: march for arch, as you like to say, Chad. Well, remember,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: there was a year, like, 07, I want to say.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: It was one of those years of the Titans where
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: they were really bad but really entertaining when Billy Bullock
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: took over and they were scoring points.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: It went crazy. Remember, like, every game, though, was a shootout.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, boy, this is bad, but it's entertaining.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: These Titans aren't even entertainingly bad. His spleen ruptured.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Remember that? Yes. Bullock. What happened to Billy Bullock? Let's
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: get that guy on the show. Let's effort Billy.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Let's ask Billy what it feels like to have a
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: ruptured spleen. Hey, Billy. First question. We'll get his take
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: on the name.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: From experience, I can tell you former NFL guys do
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: not love it when you ask them about their injuries
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: that are visible. Because I asked Ronnie Lott about his
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: finger one time and I thought he was going to
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: punch me.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's weird. Sorry. He was pissed off. I was there.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: He was pissed off about that. Yeah, he was mad. Chad,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: we are going to give... our locks of the week
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: straight ahead. It's time to win with hard rock bet.

• 46:33
  Speaker 1: the Week.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Hutton, I am undefeated on the season with my locks,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: and I want to remain undefeated this week.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I am going to the ACC.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: There is a new verb called brahming that is happening
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: in Louisville. And when you brahm or you're brahming... It's
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: when you lose at least one game a year that
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: you absolutely should not off of a big performance. Louisville
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: beat SMU in a big performance. They come back as
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: a two-touchdown favorite at home and lose to Wake Forest
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: a week ago. That is the definition of brahming. There's
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of adjectives, adverbs, verbs to describe NC State
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: and what happened to them against Vandy. NC State is
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: not a great football team. I think that we have
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: overcorrected the loss to Wake Forest. to make Louisville only
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: a 3.5-point favorite at NC State. Hutton, give me the
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Cardinals to cover the 3.5 points on the road in
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Raleigh against NC State this week.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: That is my lock. I will be following that. I
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: am curious if you'll be following me. My hard rock
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: lock this week, give me the under. Under 55.5, Tennessee
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: and Auburn. Do I think that the Vols' offensive slump
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: and woes just get magically better? No, I don't. I
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: don't think the weather helps this at all. Chad, I
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: think this is going to be a fast game. Both
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: teams want to run the football, possess the football. I
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: think Tennessee starts fast. This is Auburn's first true road game,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: like a hostile environment. I don't see them pulling the
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: upset by any means, and I don't see this being
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: a very high-scoring game given the forecast and really just
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: given the offense and how both teams just want to
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: ground and pound throughout this. I'm taking the under 55.5.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I added a point to what's available right now at
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Hard Rock Bet. Hutton, I love this play. It's what
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: I would do. I think it's going to be an
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: ugly game for both teams.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Tennessee also, news came out last night, Wendell Moy Jr.,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: they're starting left guard out for the season. So there's
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: going to be some shuffling on the offensive line, which
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: already just gave up 10 sacks to Texas. Yeah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I think Tennessee probably wins. I agree with
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Jake Crane.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: I think they're better than Auburn, but I think it's
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: going to be an ugly game. So if I'm betting
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: this one, I would definitely bet the under, and I'm
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: not comfortable Tennessee minus seven, and I'm definitely not comfortable
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Auburn either in this game.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: So I like the under. I tend to think it's
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: a fast start that becomes a slog. I think the
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: rain is coming later in the day. But it's a
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: percentage chance. I mean, I wouldn't want to sit out
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: and watch this game is basically what I'm saying. I
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: would be from the comfort of my own home. The
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: best seat in the house, Chad.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got a softball tournament on Saturday that we're
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: trying to see if we're going to play it or not.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: But it's one of those days where it's like a 95%
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: chance of rain at some point. It's not going to
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: rain all day, but it's going to hit at some point.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: How long does it last? How bad is it? You know,
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: it could just be a quick shower and you're done
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: and the conditions are totally fine. Or you could be
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: playing in a monsoon. That's what Tennessee and Auburn could
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: look like on Saturday too.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, roll with us. Chad's taking Louisville minus three and
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: a half, and I've got my hard rock lock of
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the week. Tennessee, the under 55 and a half total
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: points as they take on Auburn. Thursday night football tonight,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Steelers and Browns. Again, that line, Steelers favored by two
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: and a half on the road, over under at 38
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: and a half. I was fooled last week, Chad. I
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: was fooled last week by the Falcons. If the Browns
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: pull this off, Are they going to cheer Watson? We'll
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: find out. Hey, fun show today, man. We're back at
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: it tomorrow morning, 8 a.m. Eastern, right here at Sporting State.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: It's Hutton and Withrow, presented by Hard Rock Bet.
