Transcript
- 0:003 lifelong friends, 6 trusty balls and endless NFL.
- 0:04Takes. Welcome to three guys 6 balls
- 0:06NFL. Podcast.
- 0:08Welcome to episode 38 of Three Guys 6 Balls NFL Podcast.
- 0:11I am your usual host Joel. I'm back after a week off Thank
- 0:16you. Become a man in that week.
- 0:17Holy heck, you're still sick. Yeah, OK.
- 0:22Taking care of my wife who had foot surgery and my two children
- 0:25and that just makes you sick. Just make this take.
- 0:29So you guys are just going to have to excuse my voice today
- 0:32because I sound horrible, but I'm here.
- 0:35So thank you to Avery for filling in as Co host.
- 0:38But before we get started. Did you like half of that
- 0:40episode? Yeah, yeah.
- 0:43I was going to say, before we get started, I have to mention
- 0:46I'm gone one time. And for for everybody who
- 0:50listened to last week's episode, you might be wondering why it
- 0:52was so short. It was like 27 minutes.
- 0:54And usually it's a it's an hour plus it was 27 minutes because
- 0:58we had a guest on last week. And if you listen to the
- 1:00episode, you're probably like, no, you didn't.
- 1:03But we had a guest. It was Averys cousin.
- 1:05But right when they started recording, Avery even says it
- 1:09while during the recording he's like, oh, it says that Gavins
- 1:13doesn't have any storage. It says like he's running at
- 1:16his. Record his thing and and Avery's
- 1:17just like, oh, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine.
- 1:20And then turns out it wasn't fine.
- 1:22It didn't record any of his footage.
- 1:25And so I just had to piece the episode together and make it
- 1:27seem like it was just Avery and Will the whole time.
- 1:30So that's why it was 27 minutes long.
- 1:32Because it said like, oh, he's running out of storage.
- 1:35And I'm like, I don't know why that even matters.
- 1:37Like is that like, is that because then later we found out,
- 1:40oh, it's because it records natively to your device and then
- 1:43uploads it from there. The problem was that his device
- 1:46actually like it gave me the notification that it was like
- 1:49out of space with like 5 minutes remaining and then it just
- 1:55decided to upload nothing. So he was here, I promise.
- 1:59But you'll never know. We literally wasted an hour and
- 2:04a half of his life. With no.
- 2:06And he was, he was excited too. He was telling me that like his
- 2:09girlfriend was going to watch it, his like parents were going
- 2:12to watch it and all that stuff. And I'm like.
- 2:15We gave him the full on shaft. Hey buddy, you've actually been
- 2:18cut from the whole episode. Sorry, we reviewed the footage.
- 2:21You didn't make a cut. There were three of us and
- 2:24somehow you reversed. It was a good episode.
- 2:27He knows his stuff. Yeah, for sure.
- 2:30He. Had a great time so we'll have
- 2:32to have him back on sometime when he clears up some space.
- 2:36Yeah, well, you can figure out how to use a computer.
- 2:38He was on. That's why that was the problem.
- 2:40It was like the first guy we've had that has his phone.
- 2:43That's. Why I couldn't miss another
- 2:45episode? Yeah, all my family here.
- 2:49Yeah. All right, well, to get us
- 2:54kicked off here this week is Thanksgiving and so Will
- 2:59actually had this suggestion to talk about which which
- 3:03Thanksgiving food is our favorite.
- 3:06So, Will, since it was your suggestion, you want to kick us
- 3:08off. Turkey.
- 3:09Oh sure, I'll take the easy one here.
- 3:11It's for sure the mashed potatoes.
- 3:13But if there's not at least one full stick of butter and that
- 3:18those mashed potatoes throw them out, you need to make them
- 3:21right? And if they're not, if they're
- 3:23not full stick of butter. At minimum, mashed potatoes.
- 3:28And if you're not going to provide gravy, they better be
- 3:31lowly mashed potatoes. Put garlic salt, put some flavor
- 3:34in those bad boys. Nobody wants to eat dirt.
- 3:37OK? I don't want dirt and butter.
- 3:38If you're not going to give me gravy, make me some real sick
- 3:42and creamy mashed potatoes. Let me ask, Let me ask the
- 3:45consistency of the potatoes. Are you more of a thick guy?
- 3:49Do you like them a little more? I don't want to say runny.
- 3:51That sounds dumb. Or do you like leaving a like
- 3:54chunks or parts of the peel in it?
- 3:56What's your? What's your type?
- 3:57So I don't depending on the type of potatoes, if we're using red
- 4:00potatoes, leave the peel on if we're not using red potatoes.
- 4:03If we're using the russet or Yukon gold, actually golds
- 4:06aren't bad. But if we're using a russet
- 4:08potato that are brown, real earthy potato skin, those bad
- 4:12boys. And I don't want any potato
- 4:15trunks in that bad boy. I want it to be smooth.
- 4:17I want a nice smooth. Puree.
- 4:21Exactly. We're not having potato salad
- 4:23out here. Mash those bad boys.
- 4:26It's mashed potatoes. It's not trunk potatoes.
- 4:28It's mashed. I will say as an aside, I
- 4:32thought I loved mashed potatoes up until we went to Vegas and
- 4:37there were a couple places, nicer restaurants that we went
- 4:39to and I realized I didn't know anything about mashed potatoes,
- 4:44those mashed potatoes and each one of these, mind you, that was
- 4:47this was at Hell's Kitchen and prime, the one at Bellagio,
- 4:53Don't go to the prime one. That one's just for bougie
- 4:55people. The food isn't anything extra
- 4:57special, but at both places, $20 for a thing of mashed potatoes,
- 5:05and that sounds overpriced until you taste it.
- 5:08And I asked the waiter at both places, I'm like, what is
- 5:11special about this? And they both like, like, this
- 5:14is a script, like the person at Caesar's Palace when you ask,
- 5:18does Caesar actually live here? And they look at you and say,
- 5:20yes, because that's what they're told to do by management because
- 5:23everyone that's watched the Hangover comes in an asset.
- 5:25I asked what what did you guys do to these mashed potatoes?
- 5:29And they just looked at me and they say butter, butter.
- 5:33But it was, it was just, it was just potato flavored butter, I
- 5:38guess. Yeah.
- 5:40Anyway, that's. All I want.
- 5:41Vegans beware. That's all I want.
- 5:47Oh, was that too far? Vegans beware, was that too
- 5:48much? I'm so sorry.
- 5:50The butter, if that's what? I'm not sorry.
- 5:56All right, how about you, Avery? What's your favorite
- 5:57Thanksgiving food? Oh, I'm actually making it
- 6:01tomorrow actually. Can you guys?
- 6:03Guess is it pretzel salad? It is pretzel.
- 6:08Oh dude that's mine too. That's mine too.
- 6:11I never. Heard of this food?
- 6:12Talk to me about. It OK, OK, No, no, you have.
- 6:15It, I promise you. Yeah, OK.
- 6:16But Will, I don't think Will's ever had Thanksgiving with you
- 6:20and I, Avery. And our families invited to the
- 6:22Divining Deering grass, the Cool Kids Thanksgiving.
- 6:26Yeah, yeah, I've heard people. I was expressed that they're,
- 6:30they're jealous that they never got to go to those.
- 6:32I know Noel got to go to 1 and he's like, dude, I want to go to
- 6:361 so bad. I'm like, the last time you
- 6:37came, you knocked over Carl's plate.
- 6:41Stop everywhere. And then I think there was one
- 6:44more where he kicked a window. I think these have all happened
- 6:46at Thanksgiving. Yeah, 'cause, you know, window
- 6:47was at your house that wasn't this.
- 6:48Is how you kick a window. No, but.
- 6:50We've done. We've done Thanksgiving it.
- 6:51It was some sort of holiday. Maybe not.
- 6:54Yeah, we have for sure. Yeah, for sure.
- 6:57Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was actually going to give a
- 7:00shout out to Avery's mom for making the best.
- 7:04All the time. Yeah, Sorry, Dwayne.
- 7:06Shout out to Dwayne, shout out to Mona.
- 7:08You guys are awesome. And Mona, I love your pretzel
- 7:10salad. If you're watching this, I love
- 7:12your pretzel salad. I am very sad that I don't get
- 7:15to have it every year anymore. So, and I want to dox a little
- 7:18further here. My mom's name is Mona Grass.
- 7:24That's not that. That's true.
- 7:26That's not a joke. That's not a joke.
- 7:32My dad didn't even realize it until after he married her.
- 7:37I mean, he knew her name. He didn't realize how that
- 7:40connected. Watching this too.
- 7:45Let's flip this on its head. Least favorite Thanksgiving?
- 7:47So Joel, least favorite. OK this is going to sound very
- 7:52UN American of me because. You are not American.
- 7:55Not American. I actually don't really like
- 7:58Thanksgiving food that much Like I know the traditional like like
- 8:03Turkey, you know, I would rather have ham.
- 8:06I know some people have ham. I would rather much rather have
- 8:09ham than have Turkey on Thanksgiving.
- 8:12I I don't this. Isn't even an unpopular opinion
- 8:14amongst Americans. I think there's a lot of people,
- 8:17yeah, that are just like. I mean, no one's saying it's bad
- 8:19food. They're just like.
- 8:21Yeah, it's not bad. It's not bad.
- 8:23I just like there. To me, there's nothing like
- 8:25special about it, except for the pretzel salad.
- 8:28That's it. Yeah, I think it's the fact that
- 8:30you prepare a massive Turkey. Like, yeah, I think a lot of
- 8:35people don't, if you've never been around a Turkey, don't
- 8:39understand how much larger a Turkey is than a chicken.
- 8:43Those things are massive. I think that's like the whole
- 8:46thing is just that you went through that extra effort and
- 8:49that we called the Turkey population for a season.
- 8:53Yeah, So I don't think it's like anything special.
- 8:56So I don't really. I mean, I, I hate pumpkin pie.
- 8:59I I hate it. Are you kidding me?
- 9:03No, I don't like it at all. It's disgusting.
- 9:10I got to go. I'll.
- 9:12See you. I'd much rather have some like
- 9:13Vegemite or something, you know? OK, OK, OK.
- 9:17I was willing to put up with it for a second, for a second, but
- 9:20you started piling on with that Vegemite horse crap.
- 9:24You put Vegemite. Is it a Vegemite Sarah Pie now?
- 9:28I knew. I knew a crush.
- 9:29With Vegemite. You might as well put, like,
- 9:32iodine on it, just like, just this black.
- 9:34The stuff that just like cleans an injection site.
- 9:37That's basically what it is. It's bitter, it's foul.
- 9:42All right, They put it on toast. Everybody else, go.
- 9:45Least favorite? If Vegemite was included in
- 9:48Thanksgiving food, that would be it.
- 9:52I'm not a I'm not a huge fan of stuffing.
- 9:55Not a big. Fan of homemade or stove tap?
- 9:59I'd say any of it. I just, it's just not my thing.
- 10:02Also, whatever we're using green beans in, whatever green beans
- 10:09are touching can do without that.
- 10:13You guys are listing all of my favorite foods.
- 10:16Green casserole. Absolutely love it.
- 10:18It's toughening. It's going to be half my plate.
- 10:21Pumpkin pie. I need a new plate for pumpkin
- 10:23pie. What's your least favorite Will?
- 10:28Listen, if if somebody's opening up cranberry sauce, right,
- 10:32homemade cranberry sauce is OK. But if you show up to my house
- 10:37with canned cranberry sauce that just slopes out of the can and
- 10:40you leave it whole and you use the can lines to cut, that is
- 10:44nasty. Quit bringing that crap places.
- 10:47If they don't provide it, if the homeowner doesn't provide who
- 10:49you're going to, it does not need to be on your table.
- 10:52It doesn't need to be there anyway.
- 10:53Cranberry sauce is the worst and no food actually needs it.
- 10:57Wait, wait, did we did? Do you know?
- 10:59Did we explain? What pretzel salad was to you?
- 11:03No, you didn't. OK, I know this right now
- 11:07because I've looked up the directions and I have all the
- 11:09ingredients now, so I'm making it tomorrow.
- 11:11Basically you get a whole bunch of pretzels and you crush them
- 11:13up and then you put a bunch of butter and sugar and mix them
- 11:17up. And then you put them in a glass
- 11:1913 by 9 pan and you put it in there and then you bake it for a
- 11:24bit until it becomes like crunchy, like crystallized.
- 11:27And then you get whipped cream and cream cheese.
- 11:31And you like mix that all up. And then you make a layer of
- 11:36that and you make sure it's completely sealed because then
- 11:38you get strawberries or raspberries and you get jello.
- 11:42And you make the jello and you put the strawberries and
- 11:43raspberries in there and you mix that up.
- 11:45And then you pour it in, make sure it does not go through the
- 11:48cream cheese because it will mess up the pretzels.
- 11:50I learned that last year. And then you put it on top and
- 11:53then you let it sit in the fridge.
- 11:55And it's this heavenly concoction of salty on the
- 12:00bottom, tart on the top, and sweet in the middle.
- 12:05Oh, it's got no business being. Called a salad, Yeah.
- 12:11There's there's enough butter. There's butter.
- 12:13It's a real Midwest salad. Yeah, it's got no business being
- 12:17called a salad at all. I remember the first few years
- 12:20I'm like, can we get some of that pretzel dessert stuff?
- 12:23And my mom's like, it's called pretzel salad.
- 12:25And I'm like, don't call it a salad.
- 12:28That's a dangerous game. Don't call it a salad.
- 12:31It has to have another name. It can't be a salad.
- 12:35Yeah, it's fantastic, Fantastic. All right, well, well, why don't
- 12:41you go ahead and get us going here with your Week 12 wrap up.
- 12:45Will do. All right, let's start it off
- 12:48Thursday night, Bills at Texans. Hailee Steinfeld wasn't the only
- 12:51one getting dropped out and sacked this week as the Texans
- 12:53got 8 sacks and it wasn't even the most of the weekend.
- 12:57Texans win big against the Bills, Colts at Texans, Colts up
- 13:01early and same old Chiefs. Wait a minute, hold up, I wrote
- 13:06Colts of Texans. It was Colts of Chiefs closely
- 13:09up early in the same old Chiefs win big and a huge set have come
- 13:12back. Chiefs are hanging in there.
- 13:14They're trying to make the playoffs for those are trying
- 13:17not to from week to week. Seahawks at Titans.
- 13:20The Seahawks stop playing football early as well.
- 13:23Good thing they were going up against the Titans or else we
- 13:25had multiple Kim Kardashian level comebacks this week.
- 13:28Vikings at Packers. JJ McCarthy sucks he's Tim Tebow
- 13:32with a bad attitude and he's wasting good QB.
- 13:36He is a he's excuse me Tim Tebow has a bad attitude wasting the
- 13:40years of All Star players the Packers remember Jordan Levis a
- 13:43good either hit it down the ground even without Jeff Jacobs
- 13:47Jets at Ravens Statistically The Jets were better in this game,
- 13:51but there's a Jets and they lost anyway.
- 13:53The Ravens took first place in the AFC North this week after
- 13:55starting one in five, started the season one in five and then
- 14:00they're now first in the AFC North.
- 14:02Giants at Lions Jameis Winston is an animal and is must watch
- 14:06TV. It's too bad Jamir Gibbs is the
- 14:08best player in the NFL and this Giants team is the best bad team
- 14:12around, right? If you're not watching Jameis
- 14:14Winston play football, you're doing yourself a disservice.
- 14:17Steelers at Bears Bears finally get a win against a team with a
- 14:21winning record. All it took was their starting
- 14:23quarterback full time MVP to be out with an injury and they
- 14:26still only won by three points. Patriots at Bengals, Patriots
- 14:30Hall to bank with late post to win.
- 14:33Joe Burrow comes back this week for Thanksgiving and the Bengals
- 14:36could actually still win the division.
- 14:38AFC North is real weak right now somehow with three wins going
- 14:42into week 13. I think right as week 12 wrap
- 14:45UPS going into week 13, a three win Bengals could technically
- 14:49still win the division. Chances are low but not 0
- 14:52Patriots at Bengals. Patriots hold up to Bengals late
- 14:54push. Oh I just did that one.
- 14:56Let's go Browns and Raiders. Raiders let up 10 sacks, 11 if
- 15:00you can't ship Kelly getting fired.
- 15:02Shudor Sanders wins his debut game with 11 completions.
- 15:06Again Shudor Sanders won with 11 completions.
- 15:10That's all it took. Jags at Cardinals nose tackle
- 15:14Walter Nolan with a better catch.
- 15:15The most receivers in NFL this year and if you have not seen
- 15:18that play, you need to go back and watch that play.
- 15:20Walter Nolan. It is technically a thumble
- 15:23recovery, but if you type in Walter Nolan 66 it's going to
- 15:27come up. This dude was Pat in the middle
- 15:29of his pass rush. Trevor Lawrence gets hit from
- 15:32the side, ball flips up, he catches it with one hand,
- 15:37releases from the from the block and then spins off.
- 15:40Gets like a 15 yard touchdown fumble recovery.
- 15:43The ball never touches around, He has one hand catches it.
- 15:45Honestly, it's the best play of the weekend.
- 15:47Jags following to win in overtime though.
- 15:49Jacoby percent. Let's talk about this guy for a
- 15:51second. Absolute gunslinger.
- 15:52He has only started six games. He's played in eight.
- 15:56He has thrown passes in seven. One of those games he only threw
- 16:00one pass. This is important to note.
- 16:03So in his six starts and one additional pass and another
- 16:07game, he has thrown 262 attempts this year in six games plus one
- 16:15pass, 262 attempts. That's 44 per start, by the way,
- 16:20almost 44 attempts per start. Absolutely slamming it.
- 16:24Now the problem you got to feel. Really bad if you're the running
- 16:26back on that team. Well, all of the running backs
- 16:29got hurt, so they're they're. Playing at the background.
- 16:32Yeah. The.
- 16:35Practice squad guy in there is like man, if you can't give.
- 16:38This back there's to. Not play me.
- 16:41Bam Zovian Knights and he's doing OK.
- 16:44The problem is is that the only game that he has won this year
- 16:47was against the Cowboys where he threw the least in mind of
- 16:50attempts. So it's kind of a a weird
- 16:53balance there. Eagles at Cowboys Woof Eagles
- 16:58fans just absolutely woof. Eagles kept playing for.
- 17:02The Super Bowl, they're going back to the.
- 17:04Super Bowl not only the Super Bowl champion, Year 2.
- 17:07They're going back next year 2. They're going three people
- 17:10playing football early in the second quarter, Dallas
- 17:13remembered. Dallas remembered they were
- 17:16actually a professional football team and had a 21 point come
- 17:19back. Something's going on with this
- 17:21Eagles team, though, like hit something's off with them.
- 17:24Then they ran the ball like 20 times, something like that in
- 17:28the whole game. Wasn't that many.
- 17:30Maybe Lane Johnson, he's been out, maybe he does make that big
- 17:33of a difference. But good golly, rushing got them
- 17:35to the Super Bowl and they've just kind of walked away from
- 17:38it. That's A and then the later part
- 17:41of the season is it is a weird thing going on there.
- 17:44They felt bad for A.J. Brown.
- 17:47He. Should have two touchdowns but
- 17:49he got robbed. Falcons at Saints, Kirko showing
- 17:51flashes of their good old days. Good thing the Saints are bad.
- 17:54Falcons also bad and they need to keep losing to the Rams to
- 17:57get a better draft pick. But Falcons going to win over
- 18:00the Saints. Bucks at Rams.
- 18:04Sorry guys, I'm so sorry. OK, OK.
- 18:07I didn't. Let's just skip this one.
- 18:10No, yeah, we're going to win, but that's it.
- 18:11But I did. Say I did say that I was willing
- 18:14to lose this game so that the Eagles would not be the one
- 18:17seed. I honestly don't even care.
- 18:20I honestly don't even care that we lost.
- 18:22I honestly don't even care that we lost because the Eagles are
- 18:24not in the one seed position right now.
- 18:25I don't even care. Don't even.
- 18:27Care that's. True, and also if the Panthers
- 18:30play the Rams this next week and they're going to lose again so
- 18:33it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
- 18:37Go Bucks. Well Rams win big and Stafford
- 18:42general MVP moving on. Andrew's at 49ers.
- 18:46Brock Parking needs to take his contract and sign it over to to
- 18:49Matt Jones. That's what needs to happen.
- 18:51This Niners team looked bad yesterday.
- 18:53It's a good thing CMC is able to carry the team.
- 18:56I don't know how his back's not hurting from carrying the loads
- 18:59as much, but some blood. Sacrifices on their team that
- 19:03have allowed him to. Yeah, I I would not be surprised
- 19:07if I was actually surprised they didn't go back to Matt Jones
- 19:12after his third terrible pick. And it wasn't even like like
- 19:16they were tip balls, like he was missing wide open throws and it
- 19:20was like Jimmy GJ in San Francisco.
- 19:22It. Was also because Bryce Young was
- 19:24throwing picks too. It was like, well, you and for
- 19:26every pick that Bryce Young throws, we'll just give you one
- 19:28more pick. Right, it worked.
- 19:31That was an ugly Monday Night Football game, but the Niners
- 19:34won and that's all I guess that really matters in the end.
- 19:36So that's Week 12. Looking forward to week 13,
- 19:40Thanksgiving this week, four games on Thanksgiving.
- 19:42How does? Too many games in my opinion.
- 19:46Wasn't it just two when we were kids?
- 19:49Three. It's always been three.
- 19:51It's normally three. It is 4 this week.
- 19:55Wait, who else was it? I know that the Lions and the
- 19:57Cowboys. Who else plays Thanksgiving
- 19:58games? Oh.
- 20:01It's only three, so yeah, there's only three.
- 20:04I was like, what are you? Talking about oh, it's only
- 20:06three, all right. They keep showing, they keep
- 20:07showing the the Black Friday game as part of the.
- 20:10Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 20:11Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my bad guess.
- 20:12Is that how bad new that? Is that new or have they done
- 20:16that? Yeah.
- 20:17This is second year. Second year, yeah.
- 20:20Wait, who's the other? Is it the Vikings?
- 20:21Wait who? Who else is the other team that?
- 20:23Plays so so there's the Lions and Cowboys that always play,
- 20:26but I think they just switch it up.
- 20:27They just switch it up. They just.
- 20:29Throw just a random other game, OK?
- 20:31Yeah, and and why the Cowboys always host Thanksgiving.
- 20:35I actually don't mind having three games.
- 20:37They're spaced out right? Or is there one over?
- 20:4013530 by time morning after the night, although I I do
- 20:46appreciate them putting the worst game on at night.
- 20:48Although if you think about it, that game starts at 5:30.
- 20:52Here's where it starts at 8:00. Well, I guess 730 your time,
- 20:56right? So you're going to be sitting
- 20:57down and having dinner or at the middle of dinner.
- 20:59At most Americans watch the TV while we're eating, so.
- 21:04Damn. It's kind of an American
- 21:05tradition. Even on Thanksgiving.
- 21:08Who talks to their family when football's on?
- 21:14Only if we're talking politics or ICE raids.
- 21:18Oh wait, sorry, I'm done. I'm done.
- 21:23I forgot what I was going to say completely.
- 21:28All right, well, let's go ahead and get started with our one and
- 21:33only topic of this week. Actually, yes.
- 21:36So there's some very crucial Week 13 games coming up.
- 21:43And so we're going to go through some of these games that we
- 21:45picked out. I picked 5, and we're going to
- 21:48talk about which team needs a Week 13 win more, so the Packers
- 21:54or the Lions. Which team needs a Week 13 win
- 21:57more, Packers or Lions? Oh, I mean, it's a Lions for
- 22:00sure, right? The the Packers beat the Lions
- 22:03already this year and the Lions are you know, the Packers are
- 22:07currently ahead of the of the Lions in second place for of the
- 22:12AFC or NFC North is where it goes Bears, Packers, Lions.
- 22:17And so the Lions need to get this win to Are they even in the
- 22:21playoff picture right now? They are not.
- 22:23They're in the eighth seed right now.
- 22:25Yep. So they're they're behind the
- 22:2649ers currently, who are in the seventh spot.
- 22:30I'm assuming the with their stupid tie, the Packers, Yeah,
- 22:33in the sixth spot. So yeah, I need the Packers.
- 22:39Packers need to win to hold on. But these Lions if they want to
- 22:41make the playoffs. Word.
- 22:44Bill Belichick, how would you say football starts after
- 22:47Thanksgiving? And it's it's going right now
- 22:50like it is about to start and be real.
- 22:52But this Lions team can't let up now.
- 22:55I was going to say I, I feel like out of all the matchups
- 22:58that we're going to be talking about, I feel like this is one
- 23:00that kind of gets split down the middle.
- 23:03Like, I mean, this is, I mean, if you ask a Lions fan, I know
- 23:06what they're going to say. If you ask a Packers fan, I know
- 23:08what they're going to say. I mean, there's certain teams
- 23:10that are like vying for different things, but I feel
- 23:12like both of these guys are just embarrassed that the Bears are
- 23:15ahead of them. I mean, I guess I would give the
- 23:18edge to the Lions, but I feel like both teams are like, why
- 23:23are we not first? Actually, I would say
- 23:25Minnesota's probably asking that.
- 23:26Yikes. No Minnesota knows what are.
- 23:31You doing 9? Last year, last year.
- 23:33This is a derailment here. I'm sorry.
- 23:35Last year the Vikings had on their roster Sam Donald and
- 23:40Daniel Jones and let them both walk.
- 23:43And we're in legitimate talk to get Aaron Rodgers.
- 23:46Let him walk. No, no, we're going with JJ.
- 23:49He's our guy. That's a Browns level fumble
- 23:51right there. That is, that's a, that's a Mark
- 23:54Sanchez butt fumble, bubble fumble.
- 23:58Now, there's not Mark Sanchez currently, but like when he was
- 24:00on The Jets, we don't need to talk about him currently.
- 24:04Wait, so Avery, if we're splitting this game down the
- 24:06middle, does that mean they're going to tie?
- 24:07If the Packers tie twice, they don't deserve to be in the
- 24:09playoffs. No, I don't want to tie on
- 24:12Thanksgiving. No, they're playing the Lions.
- 24:14The Lions would not go for a tie, guaranteed.
- 24:17There's no way. There's no way.
- 24:19We always vote for the Warren man.
- 24:21I love his turn. Yeah, yeah, I agree.
- 24:25The Packers and the Cowboys. They're not American.
- 24:31I get so irrationally upset by a tie.
- 24:33I feel like I that that to me feels like the refs came out and
- 24:38just cancelled the game all of a sudden.
- 24:40Like actually, you know what? No one wins.
- 24:42You can go home. I hate it.
- 24:44I hate it. It's.
- 24:45Nobody wins. That's like kind, I'm kind of
- 24:48joking about it, but genuinely, I I wouldn't, I would not be.
- 24:54I would understand it if they if they started a riot in one of
- 24:57those NFL stadiums, if we were at the Jags and Raiders game and
- 25:03they call a tie, if there was a riot that started, I would at
- 25:08least consider participating. I hate it.
- 25:15OK, Deep Lions need to win. That's what I'll say, Yeah.
- 25:18I agree it's the Lions. I think the Lions need to win
- 25:20more because as Will mentioned, they are in the third spot in
- 25:23the division right now. They're not in playoff position
- 25:26and the Packers right now are two and O in their division
- 25:30games. The Lions and the Bears are both
- 25:34one and two in division games. And with as close as these teams
- 25:37are with their records right now, I feel like whoever wins
- 25:40this division is going to be the team that wins the most division
- 25:43games. And the Packers already have a
- 25:46game, one more game than both the Bears and the Lions.
- 25:50So I feel like the Lions have to win this game more than the
- 25:52Packers do because the Packers already have two division wins
- 25:56and the Lions only have one and they have two division losses.
- 25:59So they need to catch up in the division if they want a chance
- 26:02to not only make the playoffs, but to win this division and get
- 26:05a home playoff game. So I feel like it's the the
- 26:08Lions for that reason. All right, so next game here,
- 26:12who needs to win more, the Chiefs or the Cowboys?
- 26:18Chiefs. It's the Chiefs.
- 26:21I feel like the Cowboys are just like, whoa, we won, this is kind
- 26:24of cool. And the Chiefs are like, why
- 26:26aren't we winning? Both teams, both Cowboys and
- 26:29Chiefs, are sitting in a Tennessee right now.
- 26:31I don't mean to sound rude about this to Cowboys fans, but only
- 26:34one of them has any real hope of making the playoffs at the not
- 26:37the Cowboys. It was hard to have that be of a
- 26:43monumental collapse. I could see the chart.
- 26:46Well, who is or the Broncos? Well, how's the user team is
- 26:50actually making the plans at this point, man 65.
- 26:54It's possible to choose to make the playoffs, but they they need
- 26:57to win here to keep going. And the Bills have looked bad
- 27:00recently, and I mean bad as in like they got beat down by the
- 27:03sections and they were not as convincing as they should have
- 27:07been. And maybe I'm just talking to
- 27:08Mckeester here. Why can't?
- 27:11I usually do. I do a lot.
- 27:14I like. It I mean the Patriots all but
- 27:16have that division wrapped up. But.
- 27:19But. Yeah, they they beat the
- 27:24Buccaneers, but it didn't look pretty.
- 27:26Last week they lost the Dolphins.
- 27:28Before that, they barely beat the Chiefs soon as since Week 9,
- 27:33they have not played convincingly good football and
- 27:36they and so the Bills are are wavering right now.
- 27:40I know we're not talking about the Bills, but the Chiefs seem
- 27:42to pounce on that when they can. And the Cowboys, I don't want to
- 27:46just scrap the season, but at 5, five and one and pure Jason
- 27:50Garrett style, you are just right in the we're going for
- 27:54average. I don't, I don't know.
- 27:58Cowboys have no real hope this year and the Chiefs too.
- 28:02So it's Chiefs. Avery.
- 28:07Yeah, the Chiefs got to win. I mean, they won't and they
- 28:11won't make the playoffs because I have deemed it such.
- 28:16But yeah, they got to win mainly.
- 28:19I'm really honestly, my main focus has nothing to do with
- 28:22either of these teams or their record.
- 28:24It's really just I don't want Kenyan Sadiq to go to the
- 28:27Chiefs. Well then you should want the
- 28:28Chiefs to make the playoffs. I know, that's why I'm
- 28:31conflicted about this whole thing.
- 28:33Either that or Sadiq needs to like, yeah, I don't know, get a
- 28:38DUI or something real quick to like, push them further down.
- 28:41One of the two somethings got to give.
- 28:43Maybe the Rams. Maybe the Rams will just pick
- 28:45them with their top ten pick and they'll just have 6 tight ends
- 28:47on the field at all times. No.
- 28:50No, I would not be mad about that.
- 28:52Oh, you wouldn't be mad about every kid?
- 28:54Yeah. OK, All right.
- 28:56Yeah, The Chiefs got to win. I don't think the Cowboys care.
- 28:58They probably do. I guess they want to win.
- 29:00But I thought this season was already over before it started,
- 29:04and I thought they should be vying for a better draft pick.
- 29:06Everything. Every time they win now, it's
- 29:08just making their future a little bit worse.
- 29:11Except that Jerry Jones is getting older every day, so
- 29:14that. Did you see how bad he looked in
- 29:17their game? No.
- 29:19They, they kept showing him and he looked so mad.
- 29:25I mean reasonably so. They were down 21 to 0.
- 29:27He was sitting there with his glasses down in his nose,
- 29:31looking at Mino Santa Claus up there.
- 29:34It's like, bro, this is you. You did this.
- 29:36You who? Are you mad?
- 29:38At this is your team. I would like to see Dallas win
- 29:43this game now as a as a fan of Thanksgiving, I think it's fun
- 29:48that the Cowboys are playing Indian based team again on
- 29:50Thanksgiving and I just want the Cowboys to win because America,
- 29:55right? That's that's not what I should
- 29:56say, but I did anyway. America.
- 30:00It used to be Cowboys, Redskins every Thanksgiving, and then
- 30:03they quit doing that because, you know, social justice.
- 30:07And then then the Red Reds can change her name and change it
- 30:10again. And now we're back to the
- 30:12Cowboys and Chiefs. So it's going to compromise,
- 30:15right? Yeah, well, I'm actually going
- 30:19to go with the Cowboys need to win more on Thanksgiving because
- 30:24if the Cowboys win, they'll be 6 five and one, but they'll still
- 30:28be behind the Lions, who could either be 7:00 and 5:00 or 8:00
- 30:32and 4:00. They'll be behind the 8 and 4
- 30:3449ers, they'll be behind the Seahawks, who will be 9 and 3
- 30:38based off who they play, and they'll be behind the Packers,
- 30:41who will either be 8, three and one, or seven, four and one.
- 30:44So they'll still have some ground to make up.
- 30:46They only play one of those teams, which is the Lions, the
- 30:50remainder of the season, so they only have the chance one time to
- 30:54knock off a team that is ahead of them in the playoff race.
- 30:58The Chiefs have the opportunity to play two teams that are ahead
- 31:02of them right now in the playoff race because they play the
- 31:04Texans the following week after this week and then the Chargers
- 31:07the week after that. So they have a chance to knock
- 31:10off 2 teams while the Cowboys only have the chance to knock
- 31:12off one. Other than that, the Cowboys are
- 31:15just hoping that the other teams lose and hoping that the teams
- 31:19that are playing them beat them because they don't have any
- 31:21control over if those teams lose.
- 31:24They only have control over if the Lions lose.
- 31:26So I think the Cowboys need to win more because they only have
- 31:31control to beat one team that is currently ahead of them and make
- 31:35up that ground. Now really the answer here is,
- 31:38is both. It's really both because both
- 31:40teams are in the 10 spot, as Will mentioned.
- 31:43So they have a lot of ground to make up just regardless.
- 31:46But I just feel like the Chiefs have just a little bit more
- 31:49control than the Cowboys do, and so that's why I'm picking the
- 31:52Cowboys. Oh, nevermind.
- 31:56Texans are on our list. Oh, wait.
- 31:59OK, sorry. I'm a part.
- 32:00I'm a part of this show. I I know what I'm doing.
- 32:04All right, so the next one, who needs to win more, the Bears or
- 32:07the Eagles? The Beagles.
- 32:09Why is it the beagles? Because they need a little love.
- 32:12I'm going to say the Eagles. I think they're slipping.
- 32:15I think they're falling apart. Also.
- 32:17I just don't want the Bears to win.
- 32:18Actually, no. What?
- 32:19No, I do. I like this.
- 32:22Everything I just said before was a lie.
- 32:24I want the Bears. The Bears need to win this.
- 32:28They need to show Green Bay, Detroit and Minnesota what's up.
- 32:32And I like that Caleb Williams is doing it.
- 32:35Specifically. I like that Caleb Williams is
- 32:38showing Green Bay, Detroit and Minnesota what's up.
- 32:41I think this is good for the country.
- 32:43I think it's good for those cities.
- 32:45I did not realize how much I hated Caleb Williams until.
- 32:49You did. It's not just kidding wins, it's
- 32:53the whole Bears team. When they came back to win, I
- 32:57was legitimately mad as if I were a fan of another AFC New
- 33:00York team or whoever they beat. This week.
- 33:02I remember who? Oh, the Steelers.
- 33:04That's right. It's like I was a Steelers fan.
- 33:07That's how mad I got about it. It's like, are you kidding me?
- 33:09This is absolute trash. I did not use the word trash,
- 33:12but in respect of Dwayne I won't say something.
- 33:14He said garbage. I just, I don't know, I, I was
- 33:21not man. The answer is the Eagles, right?
- 33:24Like, like the Eagles, although they are the two seed in the, in
- 33:28the NFC, they play the bears this week for the two seed spot,
- 33:32right? I, I that's who the winner gets
- 33:35the two seed and the loser gets the three seed, right?
- 33:38Bucks are so in the four seed at 65.
- 33:41But looking at playoff playoff probability, the Bears currently
- 33:44still only hold a 61% chance to make the playoffs.
- 33:47Eagles hold a 99% chance with the division lays out.
- 33:50And I just really hate the Bears.
- 33:51So the Eagles need to win just for my own.
- 33:54And I don't like the Eagles. I really don't like the Eagles,
- 33:57but I hate the Bears even more. And there's no real reason, but
- 34:00I just don't like them. OK, well I have AI have a
- 34:03question for you I'm. Listening.
- 34:04I'm listening. So when I wasn't here last week,
- 34:09you guys talked about was it time to take the Bears
- 34:12seriously? And both of you guys said no.
- 34:14But specifically, I could feel the hate from Will and.
- 34:18That's fair, I can feel it right now in my clones.
- 34:22OK, so will if the Bears beat the Eagles, are you going to
- 34:26take them seriously? No, Say no.
- 34:35I don't know. I don't know, right?
- 34:37Because the Dallas Cowboys just beat the Seagulls team, OK?
- 34:39The Dallas Cowboys are not good. I I guess I'm going to have to,
- 34:42but it depends on the game, right?
- 34:44Like if Jane Carter gets hurt in the first corner and the bears
- 34:46going to win, that win gets an asterisk.
- 34:49Yes, it's a win, but you took the best, one of the best
- 34:52invented players in the game out and he didn't he didn't get to
- 34:54play at all. But like, if it's if it's the
- 34:57full Eagles roster and the Bears still win.
- 35:01Yeah, OK, You did good. Good job.
- 35:04Congratulations. He beat the Super world
- 35:06champions. So have three other teams this
- 35:09year. Good job.
- 35:12So I can't I can't tell if that was a yes.
- 35:14Or a no or yes stroll. Yes.
- 35:20OK, All right. So I went with, I went with the
- 35:27Bears need to win more here because to Will's point, the
- 35:30Eagles have more of a lead in their division than the Bears
- 35:34do. So because the Cowboys are 5,
- 35:37five and one right now. Even if the Cowboys win, they'd
- 35:39be 6, five and one. And if the Eagles lose, they'd
- 35:42be 8 and four. They still would have to lose 2
- 35:44more games after that for the Cowboys to move ahead of them in
- 35:48the division. And I just don't see that
- 35:51happening. Like I don't see the Cowboys
- 35:53winning the rest of their games and the Eagles losing two more
- 35:57games after losing to the Bears. Like I just I don't see that
- 36:01happening. So the Eagles just they put
- 36:04they've pretty much locked up their division already.
- 36:06And so because of that, I feel like it's the Bears needing to
- 36:09win more because that division is so close.
- 36:12And also the Bears are one and two, as I mentioned before, in
- 36:15their division and I know this isn't a division game, but they
- 36:20still need to win those other games outside of their division
- 36:22if they want to have a chance of winning their division.
- 36:25So for this game, I'm going with the Bears just because the
- 36:28Eagles just have their division locked up already and the Bears,
- 36:31it's not even close to locked up because those teams are just so
- 36:34close to each other. Well, and on that point, if the
- 36:38Bears lose, whoever wins from the Packers or Lions will be
- 36:42first thing. ANSI N, the Bears will drop down
- 36:44to the 5C if they don't win this week from 2:00 to 5:00.
- 36:48So I know it's still early. No, it was probably.
- 36:52It would probably be lower than 5 because the Seahawks are at
- 36:545:00. Oh, you're right.
- 36:56It might be two to six. And I know it's only week 13 and
- 36:59there's 18 weeks in the season. So we are not even close to like
- 37:02needing to worry that much about playoffs eating at this point.
- 37:06But it's important and it matters and, and we are, excuse
- 37:10me, and we are right in the thick of it and it's not going
- 37:12to be, it's not going to be any less of a tight race as as the
- 37:16season keeps moving on. So additionally on that, the
- 37:20Bears schedule moving forward is Eagles, Packers, Browns,
- 37:25Packers, Niners, Lions. So they only play 1, then they
- 37:30play one team that's not currently in playoff contention
- 37:34right now. Now the Lions are not
- 37:35technically in the playoffs right now, but they are they are
- 37:38right there. And if they win this week, they
- 37:40will be that. That's how tight that race is.
- 37:42If they win this week and and the Bears lose, then like I
- 37:46mentioned that the Lions will be the two seed in the AFC, NFC,
- 37:50excuse me. And so the Bears need to get
- 37:52every win they can moving forward through the rest through
- 37:54the last six games. And so stealing one against the
- 37:57Eagles at the Eagles is going to be big, especially moving
- 38:00forward because if both teams win and have similar divisional
- 38:05records because they the Eagles right now, they're sitting at
- 38:08two and two new division and seven two new conference.
- 38:12The Bears have not played as many conference games, but a
- 38:15head to So it's important stuff coming down the road here.
- 38:23For sure. All right, let's move on to the
- 38:26fourth game. The Bills or the Steelers?
- 38:30Who needs to win more? I mean, it's, it's a, it's the
- 38:34Steelers. They, they need to win more,
- 38:37right? They're not in, they're not
- 38:38currently in the playoffs, losing this week, dropped in
- 38:40five spots. They're no longer leading the
- 38:42AFC North. They need to keep winning
- 38:45because the Ravens are probably going to keep winning to the
- 38:47Steelers last games. They've got Bills, Ravens,
- 38:50Dolphins, Lions, Browns, Ravens, and so they play the Ravens
- 38:54twice and this last six weeks of the season just so they're going
- 38:58to need to get everyone they can.
- 39:00The Bills are currently sitting in the playoffs right now and
- 39:04they don't really have an easier schedule, but they do have the
- 39:06the Bengals, Browns, and Jets three of their final six games.
- 39:11The others are the Steelers, Patriots and Eagles.
- 39:14So the Bills have opportunities to get easier wins, right?
- 39:19Nothing's easy in the film but easier wins.
- 39:22And so this game means a lot. I mean, it's especially at home.
- 39:26This game means a lot more to the Steelers because they're
- 39:28they're trying to get back in the playoffs whereas the the
- 39:31Bills are are in it currently. Yeah.
- 39:36Neither will did and and the Steelers can still win the
- 39:38division. The Bills aren't going to win
- 39:40the division now. The Patriots haven't even had
- 39:42their bye week yet. I don't know if you that knew
- 39:44that or not. Patriots have yet to have their
- 39:45bye week, and so they're about to have, I think it's next week
- 39:48is there by week. So this week is next week is
- 39:51there by week. And then so they're going to get
- 39:53a week of rest right before we're going into the final
- 39:55stretch before playoffs. It's almost just not even fair,
- 39:58honestly so. You stole the answer to the
- 40:01question I was going to ask you guys.
- 40:04I was going to ask if you guys thought the Bills still had a
- 40:06chance to win their division or do you think the Patriots have
- 40:08it locked up already? I mean, I don't the Patriots are
- 40:12three and only division. They still have three division
- 40:14for games to go to end the season.
- 40:17The way they've looked, especially with our bye week
- 40:19coming up next week, I don't think there been any danger of
- 40:22losing first place in the AFC or first place in NFC Northeast.
- 40:27Yeah, East, East. I'm looking at it now.
- 40:32Yeah, I know what I'm talking about.
- 40:34I know football. What do you think, Avery?
- 40:38Do the Bills still have a chance to win the division, or do the
- 40:40Patriots have it locked up? I mean, they have a chance.
- 40:43I just don't think it's going to happen.
- 40:45I agree with you. I think the Patriots have got a
- 40:47pretty easy road and set up to go into the playoffs really
- 40:51nicely. Yeah, so the Patriots actually
- 40:54have a three and O record in the division right now, and the
- 40:57Bills have a two and two record in the division.
- 41:00So the Bills would have to not only have the same record as the
- 41:04Patriots when the season ends, but they would have to have A at
- 41:08least the same division record. And so the Patriots would have
- 41:12to drop three division games, and one of those is to the
- 41:17Bills. Or if they have the same record,
- 41:19they'd have to drop two. One of those is to the Bills.
- 41:21So the Bills can't hand them a loss, but they'd have to have
- 41:24either The Jets or Dolphins beat the Patriots.
- 41:27And I just don't see that happening.
- 41:30So yeah, I think, I think the Patriots pretty much have their
- 41:33division locked up already. Well, and and the Patriots final
- 41:36five games, they sell their buy a week.
- 41:38They've got the Giants this week.
- 41:40They must have been a buy this week.
- 41:41Actually, I might just be completely wrong.
- 41:43What is Sunday? Sunday is the 30th.
- 41:46Yeah, they're on their bye week this week.
- 41:47Excuse me? They've got Thanksgiving off.
- 41:48How nice for them. So they're on their bye week
- 41:50this week, and they've got the Giants and then Bills and then
- 41:54Ravens. SO2 hard games to roll with
- 41:56Bills and Ravens, but they've got the Giants, Jets and
- 41:59Dolphins and three of their last five games.
- 42:02And so chances are, worst case scenario, they're going, what,
- 42:0513 and 513 and 4? Excuse me, what's that?
- 42:10And can the Bills even get there anymore?
- 42:1313 to 4 if they were if. If they were to win out, they
- 42:15could. Get they'd have to win out.
- 42:16Yeah, yeah. But they would.
- 42:18That does not put them in first place.
- 42:20But they would need the Patriots to lose to The Jets and Dolphins
- 42:25specifically. Yes.
- 42:28Which I don't see happening. I don't see that happening.
- 42:32Yeah. All right.
- 42:33So back to the Bills versus Steelers.
- 42:35Avery do you think it's the Bills or the Steelers that need
- 42:37to win more? Probably the Steelers.
- 42:42Tomlin is at risk, man, not making the playoffs.
- 42:47Well, his his his record isn't isn't consecutive years making
- 42:51the playoffs though, it's consecutive years with a winning
- 42:54record. Oh, that's right.
- 42:56Yeah, that's right. So.
- 42:58He doesn't. He doesn't even really care.
- 42:59He doesn't really care about making the playoffs.
- 43:01As long as he goes nine and eight, he's good do.
- 43:03You think if they don't make the playoffs, they don't bring him
- 43:06back? I thought he owned the team.
- 43:08I thought he was the team. I didn't know that someone else
- 43:10made decisions over there. I just want to point out real
- 43:14quick because I just looked this up, the first team to be
- 43:18eliminated from playoff contention had the number one
- 43:22easiest schedule this season. Yep, just want to.
- 43:27Put that out there. Now their team also has been
- 43:30wriggled with like, like their three best players.
- 43:35Yeah. Also, the team with the third
- 43:39hardest strength of schedule is currently the top team in the
- 43:44NFL right now. The Pats.
- 43:46Wild stuff, I was. Wait, is that just, is that just
- 43:50based off of, is that just based off of like the beginning of the
- 43:52season schedule? The beginning, yeah, I I wanted.
- 43:55To make sure. It wasn't 'cause.
- 43:56If you look at it now. Yeah, Oh.
- 43:58Yeah, if you look at it now, I was looking at this yesterday, I
- 44:01think the Patriots have either like this.
- 44:04It's not the, I don't think it's the worst strength of schedule.
- 44:06I think it's like the second worst.
- 44:08It was either strength of schedule or strength of victory.
- 44:10That was like either the bottom or it's like second to last.
- 44:15Interesting. So as Will has said many times,
- 44:18the before the season schedule strength of schedule means
- 44:21nothing. It's an absolute joke all.
- 44:24Right. So I agree that it's the
- 44:26Steelers and Will said it basically.
- 44:29There's not really any reason to say anything else other than
- 44:32this. The Steelers were leading their
- 44:34division and the Ravens were one in five, and now the Steelers
- 44:37are not winning their division. But there's not much else to
- 44:40say. The Steelers need to win more
- 44:42than the Bills do just for that reason.
- 44:45You let the one in five Ravens come back and they are now
- 44:48leading the division. The Steelers need to win more
- 44:51than the Bills do. So all right, let's move on to
- 44:55the last one here. Who needs to win more, the
- 44:57Texans or the Colts? I want to say the Texans, but I
- 45:03also feel like the Colts, I mean, like the Texans are in
- 45:07like fight or flight mode and the Colts are more like, hey, we
- 45:11started off so well. We need to like finish this
- 45:14strong. I'm usually in the camp of, you
- 45:17know, teams when it gets to the end of the season, this point of
- 45:19the season. I mean, I understand tanking is
- 45:22not fun and it's not good. But around this time is when
- 45:25you're trying to figure out all right, all right, all right,
- 45:28what are we doing here? We trying to make the playoffs.
- 45:30Are we actually going in for a run or are we looking to rebuild
- 45:33for next season? And I feel like the Colts are in
- 45:35contention and they know it and this is a very nice season for
- 45:39them. And I feel like them winning is
- 45:42a big deal. Also.
- 45:44I just feel like the Texans are always in this mediocre world
- 45:47where they win some games and they lose some games and they
- 45:50don't draft very high and they don't win any playoff games and
- 45:53they just sitting there in purgatory.
- 45:56So I'd say the Colts. I agree.
- 45:58I think it's the Colts and what? I'm sorry, just no, I just, it's
- 46:05talking nonsense, but. You know what?
- 46:10It made sense. It made sense in an Avery kind
- 46:14of way. Yeah, yeah.
- 46:16Yeah, yeah, in only a way that Will and I can understand.
- 46:21Let me tell you. In a way that normal human minds
- 46:24can't comprehend. We we got it.
- 46:26We understand what he was getting.
- 46:27Exactly. I got you.
- 46:28I knew what you were saying. All right, so yeah, I think it's
- 46:32a Colts that need to win more because I you know, the Texans,
- 46:36they do need to win because they want to make the playoffs.
- 46:38But I just don't think I love the Texans defense, but their
- 46:41offense is just not it. Like their offense just isn't
- 46:45going to win you a playoff game. Their defense can, but they're
- 46:48off like that team. I don't see that team going far.
- 46:51If they did make the playoffs, the Colts have a chance to go
- 46:53far. But I feel like the Colts need
- 46:55to get home field advantage throughout the playoffs in order
- 46:59to truly go far. Because if you look at all of
- 47:01their losses, they have come on the road.
- 47:04On the road they are two and three.
- 47:06At home, they are undefeated. So if the Colts want to make a
- 47:10deep, deep playoff run, their best chance to do that is to get
- 47:13home field advantage throughout. And it sucks that they lost to
- 47:16the Chiefs because they're at a disadvantage now.
- 47:19But if they want a chance to get home field advantage throughout
- 47:22the playoffs, they have to win. They have to win the rest of
- 47:25their games if they want a chance to get that home field.
- 47:28Because I feel like for the Colts to be truly, truly scary
- 47:32in the playoffs, they need that home field advantage more than
- 47:36these other teams do because they're undefeated at home.
- 47:39So that's why I'm picking the Colts.
- 47:43I'm also pregnant Colts for a different reason.
- 47:45The Colts and Texans play twice between now and the end of the
- 47:48season and you need to win this one at home since your other
- 47:51game, your other, the Colts have 4 divisional games left to
- 47:55finish the season now, like Texans twice and the Jaguars
- 47:58twice in the last six weeks of this season.
- 48:01And so you need to win at least those two divisional games at
- 48:05home. Not that you want to lose them
- 48:07away, but you have to win these ones at home.
- 48:10They are right in the middle. There's they're still violent
- 48:13double for the number one seed and especially because, you
- 48:17know, I, I felt like 8 Times Now, but especially because this
- 48:20one's at home, they just have to win this one.
- 48:22They saw what the the Texans did to the bills last week with or
- 48:27this week. I guess it just happened sacking
- 48:30drop challenge 8 times. And so they they know that
- 48:32they're going to be under pressure and they know they know
- 48:34what's coming. But this is a big game.
- 48:38The Colts have got to win it. The Texans have a bit easy,
- 48:42well, I don't know if it's an easier schedule, but they play
- 48:44the Colts and then the Chiefs. I'm really excited for that
- 48:46Texans, Chiefs game and then Cardinals, Raiders, Chargers,
- 48:50the Colts, again, they have a bit of an easier schedule than
- 48:53the Colts do. And so they're able to drop 1
- 48:56and still potentially get their way back up to it.
- 48:58That's what means it means a lot to the Colts.
- 49:00There should mean a lot to the Colts, at least.
- 49:02Yeah, it does. It does.
- 49:04All right. You guys got anything else to
- 49:06add before we close out here? I was.
- 49:08Hoping. No, you go.
- 49:12See, if Matt Stafford stays healthy and doesn't win MVP, I'm
- 49:15going to riot. That's just all I meant to say.
- 49:19What if you stays healthy and socks the rest of the time?
- 49:22Are you still going to riot? That's that's improbable.
- 49:24It is improbable. That's true.
- 49:27It is improbable out I we need to get to a point where we can
- 49:32have clips like little YouTube shorts loaded up and play them
- 49:37on the thing. Because after we all talked
- 49:39about the Colts, I really thought it would be nice to play
- 49:42that video of that dude, the Colts fans hype video where he's
- 49:48like, this is our. Team.
- 49:49What is his name? I watch him every week.
- 49:56Is it shot? Shoot, Really.
- 49:58I watch that. I watch that guy every week.
- 50:01So just pull him up on YouTube real quick.
- 50:03Share your screen. What is this guy's name?
- 50:09YouTube. Let's see.
- 50:14Yeah, that would have been great.
- 50:15Fan. I found it.
- 50:17All right. I'm going to.
- 50:19Share with this. I'm going to share with this.
- 50:22Oh, it's set. It's not showing.
- 50:23It's set. Share screen.
- 50:28Oh yeah, here we go. Oh yeah.
- 50:35This is our code. This is our.
- 50:37Team we bleed. Blue, Yeah.
- 50:41This is our cults, whether win or lose.
- 50:45We lose. For the show, the Jacks let the
- 50:50world hear us now. This is our team.
- 50:55Go colds. Wow, wow, wow, wow wow wow.
- 51:01How many times have you done this video?
- 51:03This isn't even the one. No he doesn't.
- 51:05Every week. Where was the nay?
- 51:12No one's even bringing it up. No one cares.
- 51:16This goes hard. There was no nay.
- 51:20This is the guy. Hold on, hold on.
- 51:23Stop sharing your screen. That's him.
- 51:24That is him. He's just done this multiple
- 51:26times. I can't him, yes.
- 51:27Stop sharing your screen, Avery. Let me share my screen.
- 51:30Let's keep this week 12. So that was week one.
- 51:33OK, you just saw week 1. Now this is week 12.
- 51:37Oh he re records this every week?
- 51:39I thought I'd been seeing the same video circulating.
- 51:42It's better have the nay. I hope he didn't get cyber
- 51:45bullying out of doing it, that would be a shame.
- 51:48Oh, this is it. This.
- 51:54Is our cults. This is our team.
- 51:57We bleed blue. He looks like Glenny balls.
- 52:03We love them for the shoes. Beat the Chiefs.
- 52:09My homes will beat us. This is our team.
- 52:13Go cold. I love legend.
- 52:22Legend. The Colts had him on the field.
- 52:25They brought him in the anthem before a game one time.
- 52:28No way. Yes, this is a real thing.
- 52:32I want to. He's we need to start doing that
- 52:36for the Bucks and Rams. Colts fans and actually,
- 52:40honestly, not even Colts fans. If you watch it was Instagram
- 52:44and see his Instagram reels. I mean, the comments are like,
- 52:48I'm a I'm a chiefs fan this week.
- 52:50I'm a chiefs fan. But you know what?
- 52:52Go Colts this week. This song we love this guy Santa
- 52:54has a huge fall of it. It's wild that it goes from like
- 52:58you do it and it's cringe and it's like until it becomes viral
- 53:03cringe and then the wholesome like mist comes in and then
- 53:08they're like, you know what? I hated you at first, but now
- 53:11man, I see that you're a non threatening, slightly soy boy
- 53:16guy and now I can get behind this because I realize this is
- 53:19just good fun and that nay is wild.
- 53:23Now I'll be honest, a little inside baseball here when
- 53:27choosing the teams. I did see this video and this
- 53:31definitely was the nail in the coffin for choosing the Colts.
- 53:34Like it wasn't a close race there, but this was one where
- 53:39I'm like, all right, well, I know for sure now I'm like, I
- 53:42don't want to be. I don't want anyone sending me
- 53:44this. But just like now, now I'm now
- 53:47I'm a little more sold on it now that I can see that everyone
- 53:50that the Colts organization has given him his flowers.
- 53:54I think that's cool. All right.
- 53:58Well, I got two things for you guys before we close out here.
- 54:03First, just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to everybody who is
- 54:06listening to all of our followers, our supporters, our
- 54:10family and friends, and again to Dwayne and Mona because they're
- 54:13the only set of our parents that actually watch or listen to this
- 54:16show. So happy Thanksgiving to you
- 54:19guys. And the second thing is I got
- 54:22you boys a little Christmas present that's on the way.
- 54:26Oh no. And so I just.
- 54:29Like to my house. To your house.
- 54:31Oh. No.
- 54:35So it is supposed to be here within the next week, but I
- 54:38think Avery's is going to be here after our next episode.
- 54:42And I wanted you guys to open it on the episode.
- 54:45So will if you get it before, don't open it until the episode.
- 54:49Just don't know. I will, I will wait.
- 54:50I will wait until we're ready. Ross is gonna open it.
- 54:56No, not that kid. I love that kid, but not that
- 55:00kid. The other one.
- 55:03Not her either. Listen, listen, listen.
- 55:07All right, You went some inside baseball.
- 55:09Russell pissed in my bed last night.
- 55:11All right, My five year pissed in my bed and my daughter, my 3
- 55:15year old daughter blessed her, sweetheart, because I'm in her
- 55:18room right now, I probably should be kind to her.
- 55:20Clearly this is not my decor. My daughter.
- 55:24It went, it went me in the bed. It went me, my daughter kicking
- 55:28me in the in the spleen, my wife and my son pissing in my bed
- 55:33last night. All right, my kids aren't
- 55:34getting any gift. Said I ain't coming this year.
- 55:39Good golly. Someone, someone 10 years from
- 55:45now was going to show him this video.
- 55:50I woke up in the West Ball. My blanket?
- 55:52You mean to say it wasn't mine? All right.
- 56:00All right, well, that's where we got tired for today.
- 56:02It's. So fun to have kids.
- 56:03Avery, go ahead and pop a couple out.
- 56:07I'm sure. Virginia, whatever your
- 56:09girlfriend's name is, I'm sure she's pleasant.
- 56:11Doesn't ever happened to her. Virginia.
- 56:23What's her name? Virginia.
- 56:28Pull that out of nowhere. You wouldn't let her.
- 56:36You wouldn't let her meet us or us meet her in Vegas.
- 56:39I don't blame you for that. I've met me.
- 56:41I wouldn't want my girlfriend to meet me either.
- 56:43Instead, she went to go see strippers.
- 56:46Yes, she did. She thought that was better than
- 56:47meeting us. For some reason it it.
- 56:50Is I've met a couple? I mean what?
- 56:54Better than us, They're cooler than us.
- 56:59All right, well, let's close the things out here.
- 57:01That's what we got time for on today's episode.
- 57:03And as always, guys, don't forget to keep your balls played
- 57:06with. We'll see you next time.
- 57:08Back on y'all, happy Thanksgiving.
- 57:10Also, Mark Davis's haircut still sucks.
