  Speaker 3: Welcome to Game Debut, present by Mercedes Men's Patrick Clavon
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: here with Greg Rosenthal and Cynthia Freeling Gods.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Week two is here ton for us to take all.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: The things that we learned from week one, crumble it up,
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Greg and throw it out the window.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: I learned so much. Mostly I learned that my hot
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: streak with making the picks it's continuing. Let's take a look.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna I just can't wait to see it.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: I want to suck right now.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Alight there, we don't really care how you're a week with.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Let's look at Greg's making the face and in the
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: crown as Greg goes thirteen and three, Cynthia twelve and four,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: and I, yeah, I dropped the game eleven and five,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: so we're trying to make a comeback.
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: Cynthia, I just made him to roll the dice like that.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, it's like, oh, let's talk about how
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: happy we are. This is what makes me happy. Look
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: at this, and there's like gonna be a spot in
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: my head that a crown is making an.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so we're gonna get a new chapter here.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Speaking on rivalries is Greg Greg makes one with us
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Burrow Mahomes rivalry this weekend. Joe's one of the only
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: humans on earth to a vested Patrick Mahomes consistently.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: He started his career three and zero against him.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: At one point, folks were even calling Arrowhead Burrowhead stations. However,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: the last time they met, the nickname did not work
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: out case.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: We'll go on to beat the Eagles in the Super
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Bowl that year.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Now we're getting the next edition of Burrow Mahomes since
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: he trying to avoid yet another zero to two start
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: after losing to the Patriots in Week one, Greg, do
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: they bounce back against the Champs?
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, in a manner speaking, yes, they play better,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: but they still lose. That's what matters to them. They
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: lose by three, twenty seven, twenty four, so a better effort,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: but they're still going against Patrick Mahomes, who somehow keeps
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: getting better. How can the greatest quarterback of all time
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: through his six seven seasons starting get better. It's because
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: of his pocket movement. Now, I mean he always was
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: great at this, but now his feel of how to
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: avoid that first rusher, stay in the pocket and make
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: a great throw to me is getting to Tom Brady level.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: So of course, yeah, he can make all the crazy
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: arm angles and the arm strength and all of that,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: but his way to stay in the pocket and avoid
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: rushers to me is better than it's ever been. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: when he gets, you know, a ball batted back in
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: his face, he can make a big play like that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: That's just outrageous too. So it's it's everything that you want.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I think the Bengals defense comes out and makes him
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: work for it. But twenty seven to twenty four, you
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: just did an.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Entire thing on Patrick Mahomes and then you said it's
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: gonna be a close cheam.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: You're like, what the Bengals are gonna do better?
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: And I agree in one particular area, how are my score?
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: Twenty seven nineteen means Patrick Mahomes will absolutely reign supreme.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: But here's the thing we're not going to see this weekend.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: They gave Patrick.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: Mahomes single high safety covers.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: What are you doing? Fourteen times?
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Guess how many he completed. The answer is twelve for
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty one hers. I just wanted to
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: put it on your screen because the chances of lou
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: Anarumo rolling out with single high are like almost nothing,
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: like very close to zero. So let's just watch and
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: behold the beauty of the yack that can be earned
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: when you give Patrick Mahomes single high cut Rich say,
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: she writes seventy like seventy nine of his whatever hundred
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: yards were all, yeah, it was gorgeous.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: We're not gonna see it this week.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, gorgeous for Chiefs fans especially, But I think things
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: were especially bad for fans of the Cincinnati Bengals in
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Week one against the New England Patriots, where.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: It did not go well.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I think things will go significantly better, but I still
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: have a one point loss for.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: The Cincinnati Bengals. But hey, Tanna.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Hudson is not gonna have the ball punched out on
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the one inch line by Kyle Dugger.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: That doesn't happen.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: The game is entirely different the play before that, Mike
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Getsicki had a touchdown bounce out of his hands when
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: he hit the ground in the corner of the end zone.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: And then there's special team's mistakes where the ball gets
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: coughed up. The Patriots take over at the twenty five
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: yard line. All of these things happened, we would feel
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: so much different about Joe Burrow the Cincinnati Bengals have
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: they not happened, But we still feel the way we
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: do about the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: That's why it is a meme alert.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Come get us Cincinnati Bengals, who have started back to
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: back seasons according to this.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, little more than that one and eight.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not good. It's not good. Earth.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: And So, while Mahomes and Burrow renegotiate their rivalry, Dak
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Prescott just finished with his negotiation with the Cowboys, then
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: stepped out in the field took care of business. Last
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: weekend in Cleveland, he threw for one seventy nine and
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a touchdown. Dallas rolled thirty three seventeen over the Browns
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: in the opener of The Cowboys now play host to
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: the Saints Sunday. They've won sixteen straight at home New Orleans,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: coming off of forty seven to ten destruction.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Of the Panthers.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Does they do they carry the momentum Cynthia in.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And beat the Dallas Cowboys.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: No Saints, No Dallas.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Dallas's momentum reigned supremier. What we don't know about momentum.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: Ask Patrick about that later. Here twenty five to twenty one,
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Dallas wins this game. We're gonna learn a little something
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: both about the Saints offense, which we got kind of
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: not great data on, and also the Cowboys defense, not
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: great data on them as well. But I want to
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: point something out. Derek Carr, congratulations, my friend. He had
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: exactly three passes under pressure completed, all three of them.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: One was a quick pressure, by the way, one was
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: a touchdown. It was amazing. Do you know what his
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: passer rating was on under pressure passes last week?
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: One fifty eight point three perfec's pop perfect.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: Not gonna happen this week, but I wanted to point
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: that out because it was fun. I liked his swagger.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: The whole thing was great. Not gonna happen. We're gonna
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: actually see who both of these offense and defense, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: they have new coordinators, so we'll get actual data this
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: week on them. But fun to look back at those
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: three passes.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I look at their offensive line. The Saints they
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: played so well, Like will they be able to protect car?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but I trust the Saints defense this week.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: That's why I got it close again. I keep talking
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: about the team I predict to lose, but Cowboys twenty
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Saints seventeen. This Saints defense came to play, and yes,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be a much tougher matchup, but this is
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: a veteran crew. I'd love to know how healthy their
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: secondary is. But Tyron Matthew practice on Thursday, and that's
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: a good sign for them. Their pass rush is going
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: to be better this year with Chase Young who had
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: a great first week, Alonte Taylor playing great in coverage.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: They're also using him as a blitzer. It is a
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: veteran he has three.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Defense He's on pace for fifty six sss.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: It's ridiculous time.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: For the league lead in sacks and he's a defensive back.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: It's one of the defenses that's great on every level.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: So I feel bad for Dak Prescott. I think he's
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: having to play two of the best defenses in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: league back to back Browns and Saints. So the Saints
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: keep it closest is one of my favorite picks of
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: the week. And it's a close game.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: One of the things that people could feel feel bad
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: from Dak Prescott about was just how easy the Packers
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: ran over the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs. A real
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: need at linebacker, and a lot of that was because
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: in the second preseason game, the Marveon Overshawn they drafted
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: him out of Texas, believed he was gonna do a.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Lot toward his acl.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Well, he comes out in the opener and he's spectacular.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: He only had one actual pass rush, but he had
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: multiple pressures because he was spying Deshaun Watson and he
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: was so fast that he got to Deshaun Watson before
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: he crossed a lot of scrimmage, so he gets pressure
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and sacks on those plays.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: He was incredible in the middle of the field.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I think it's gonna make Dallas' defense in the Mike
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Zimmer defense, a whole lot better coming into.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four. So that's why I've got a twenty
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: six to twenty two win for the Dallas Cowboys.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: We're all on board, and if if we get memed
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: by folks in New Orleans, it means that they've won
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: the team.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: I'm a fan, picked you all the cover. We meme
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: us for that too.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we believe, and we know that you want to
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: believe as well. We got another monster matchup this weekend,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: the Bucks and the Lions.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: These teams met last year's NFC Divisional round. Jared Goff
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: toss two touchdowns, Baker threw a few.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Picks, and Cynthia's Lions came out on top thirty one
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: to twenty three. Baker is coming off of four touchdown
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: performance of his own last week against Washington, the Lions
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: squeaking one out against the Rams. How do you feel
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: about your Lions in this game, Cynthia?
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, why are we going through and having the
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: redo of the playoffs again in exact same order. It
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: just doesn't necessarily feel fair. But I think they're gonna
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: win one again. It's gonna be closer, though I have
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: twenty far ferocious twenty seven to twenty one.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Do it again? Can you do that?
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Give us the limelight again?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: A really hungry line.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Maybe need to change my score a little bit, but
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: I'm looking at the opportunity here for a guy who
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: we saw the electric coach said that he knows how
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: to handle success.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: He knows that it's going to be okay. Well, you
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: know what, we also know that Jamis and Williams is
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: going to be Okay.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: He watched Xavier Worthy run the football on Thursday end
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: and they're like, hey, you know what, I see your
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Xavier Worthy, and I'm gonna give you Jamison Williams. And
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: I'm actually going to have him more run faster miles
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: per hour than Xavier Worthy in this one particular week,
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: which is a highly scientific study over twenty one miles
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: an hour. Look, I'm just saying he's arrived. He should
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: be talked in that speedy ilk. Perhaps the Lions have
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: found something here.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: He's the man. And if when you watch the tape
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: on him, he gets out and blacks too even for
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: a small guy like as a receiver, he blocks you
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: know who else blacks well, Tristan Wurfs. I'm going to
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: be watching this Tristan wors versus Aiden Hutchinson matchup. I
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: have the Lions winning this game thirty to twenty four.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: But one of the reasons I have the Bucks scoring
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: so many points in this game and keeping it close
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: enough is because they have a great offensive line and
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: a great left tackle in Tristan Worse. Aiden Hudginson, one
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: of the best pass rushers in the league coming off
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: just an absolutely fantastic performance. He actually did quite well
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: against worse in the playoff game in this matchup a
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: year ago, and yet I just think it's gonna be
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: top notch football. These are two teams that have a
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: lot of continuity. I think, two of the best teams
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: in the NFC. At first, I had the Lions covering
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: and I thought, you know, that's disrespectful. This Bucks team
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: looked awesome a week ago. I think it's back and
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: forth a lot of points in this game.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: My belief has shifted as well because coming in even
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: when we had our meeting today, guys, I had the
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning this game, but then I realized, no,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Antoine Winfield, Junior. It's just so tough because Todd Bowles's
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: defense was a good reason that I made this pick originally,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and what they were able to do,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: especially in the run game, because Detroit's run game was
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: so good down the stretch against the Los Angeles Rams.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: But it's hard to just wipe away one of the
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: best safeties in the entire NFL. And the fact that
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: he's out now, potentially for multiple weeks, it caused me
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to reconsider and it's just tough to take a team
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: that lost to this team in the playoffs back in
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: January to come in and get an upset in Detroit. Well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, how disappointed can we really be?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: We're all wanting to pick up a game on you.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: I didn't see that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Greg is ruth almost as ruthless as are.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Also said that talks smacked to the viewers. Oh yeah,
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: well yeah.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Like, okay, okay, he's unruly.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Coming up, we got more unruly Greg picking games, including
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Sunday nighter between CJ. Stroud and Caleb Williams. Are the
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Bears ever going to score an offensive touchdown? Find out
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: if we think so? Next on game debut, it is
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: time from the Drive to Excellence presented by Mercedes Bens
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Bears Texans. On Sunday in h down, we got this
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: year's top pick in Caleb Williams taking on last year's
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year in CJ.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Stroud. How do you see this quarterback battle going on
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Sunday night?
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a fun one. I think
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: the Texans win twenty seven twenty. Both quarterbacks play well.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Caleb Williams bounces back and gets a couple of touchdowns,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: but he did struggle a week ago. What concerned me
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: most were the missthrows when he was protected. He was
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: three of thirteen when he had over two and a
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: half seconds to throw, and so sometimes he saw open
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: receivers and he didn't hit him, and it's him figuring out.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: I think at the pro level, when do I get
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: rid of the ball on time? That's what we want
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: to do more often, and when do I just hold
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: on to it and try to make a play. The
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: interior pressure was a lot last week from the Tennessee Titans,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: and so the Bears offensive line needs to be better
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: in front of Caleb Williams so that he can make
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: more places. I think he does this week, but it's
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: not enough.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it was a great start and that
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: defense was absolutely electric. So I'm giving the Bears defensive
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: respect here too. With my model, I have twenty five
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: to twenty as my final score. Houston takes this one
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: because CJ. Stroud has such varying results against pressure. He
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: can handle a little bit of volatility. So he got
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: sacked four times, but he also completed seven of nine
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: under pressure for over one hundred yards, so we know
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: that he has this opportunity to kind of take the
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: next play, even after being pressured, and make it into something.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: But the other thing that was really nice was Joe
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: Mixon really showed up and that helps mitigate some of
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: this volatility. The best formula to win is to have
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: a strong defense and a strong run game. So the
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: advantage here goes to the Texans on both of those regards.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I agree, I've also got a Texans win.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Are we all memes so far?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all memes. This is a meme.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Addition, were the same person, I promise turning it to.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Greg, it'd be a great looking person.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: We're gonna separate in just a bit.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: But speaking of separation, Stefan Diggs got all of his targets.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: All six of his targets from CJ. Stroud were within
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: ten are yards. He had two touchdowns out of that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying all steph out Diggs is old and
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: bad now, but I think his ability to read the
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: zones and find the gaps and be kind of possession.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Is not a bad word in this instance.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: While Nico Collins and Tank Dell can be on the
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: outside doing all those explosive things, Stefan Diggs provides an
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: opportunity to gets that Barry Good Bears defense, who I
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: do think keeps it close. But the Texans just really
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: good right now again, meme away as Caleb and CJ
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: former number one overall as well as number two overall picks.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: What about a number three overall pick? That's ballin' right now?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald Gregg, well, what about him?
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Alan is now in the Donald hive, buzzin' in Greg's
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: ear right now?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: So far enough after what he did against the Giants?
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Will they be able to slow down the forty nine
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: ers juggernaut Sunday though, Cynthia, how slow slows?
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: I have kind of a significant San Francisco wins eight
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: to nineteen. I love Sam Darnald. I feel bad I
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: just took all the air. I deflated the Sam Donald balloon.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: I still love him, but I want to talk about
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: the lying lie.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: Who lies?
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: That is the coach of San Francisco forty nine ers.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: Oh man, it is to make every running back. He
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: is the mightest touch for running backs. We thought it
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: was gonna be Christian McCaffrey until literally the last minute
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: before they had to tell us who's inactive and who's active.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: But you know what, you know, it didn't matter who
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: was running the ball because Jordan Mason had just an
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: electric day. He made the Jets defense look like they
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: had never played run defense before. This was just such
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: a really really clinic on how to all the different
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: types of runs.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: It wasn't even just.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: One run where they were exploiting. It was kind of
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: all of the entire menu of runs was available to them. So,
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: you know, look, Kyle Shannan doesn't know us anything. So
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: it's a joke when I call him a lying liar
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: who lies, but he never tells us anything ahead of time.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: So the liang liar who lies strikes again, and yet
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: might's touched on the running back one time.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: My favorite Kyle Shanahan is he like, I don't know
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: if any of us are going to be here Sunday,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: but I have an idea.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: It doesn't know. That's actually not, that's true.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: One person who will be there.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Because we thought Jordan Mason played great, the defense played great,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: but eighteen eighteen forty nine ers points on that win
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: against the Jets came off of the foot of Jake
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Moody six field goals, six for six for.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Jake Moody, which I think is such a weapon. And
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: now this era of the.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Kickoff changes that we've had the dynamic kickoff, the word
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: escaped me unlike Jake Moody's field goals finding between the crossbars.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Here the field position change is going up.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: And if you can get in Jake Moody's range and
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: he's gonna hit field goals, Greg, it becomes even tougher
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: for even Sam Donald in this revenge game to come
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: in and get the hive buzzin it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, what a bunch of upsets today. We first
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: we have claybn talking momentum, and now we got him
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: talking kickers. I like, second block of this show, we
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: have forty nine ers winning, but it's not by that much.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Oh I would actually like to make it even closer.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Now that line was moving. Bikings keep it close because
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: of their run game in Aaron Jones, Sam Darnald, just
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: don't make mistakes and hand the ball off to Aaron Jones.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I can't believe the Packers let this guy get away
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: from them five to ten yard runs last week. So
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Jordan Mason was great, you know who was even better?
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Aaron Jones second in the NFL in rushing yards over
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: expected a lot of tough runs like this one where
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: he's carrying those giants in their khakis. I mean, you
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: knew they were gonna lose when they put those uniforms on.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Give me a break. Aaron Jones was incredible, though, and
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I think that's the way you can keep it close
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: against the forty nine Ers Beirs.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: They were celebrating the existence of the franchise.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Greg, I mean, you invited all those legends. You're gonna
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: watch Lawrence Taylor, watch this team stink it up. I mean,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: give me a break.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe Babe LT.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Got out of there by there was the pick six
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: by Andrew Ginkles. Monday night, Kirk Cousins and the Falcons
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: head to Philadelphia. Atlanta's offense looked like it was stuck,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: rendering the loss of the Steelers with absolutely nothing to
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: gain in the second half last week.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Do they bounce back against the Eagles?
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Greg, they do not. I mean, the Eagles are Cynthia's
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl pick, which I love. I have them winning
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: twenty six to fourteen. But I'm gonna go negative here.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: It's like an attack ad during political season. Kirk Couttins
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: couldn't move last week. I can't pick a guy who
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: can't move. This was a guy who played his very
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: best using the play action pass like thirty plus percent
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: when he was in Minnesota. They didn't do it once
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: last week because he couldn't move. Now, I'm sure this
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: week they hear the chatter they'll get him outside the pocket.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Maybe it'll be proven wrong, but last week he looked
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: like a quarterback that shouldn't have been playing. They have
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: another quarterback on this team, Michael Pennix. Maybe they should
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: be playing him until I see something better. I'm not
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: taking the Falcons any week, much less against a good
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: team like the Eagles.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: It would just make a lot of sense to have
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: the young guy play until the veteran who's coming off
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: of a severe injury.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: And a repair on it until he could actually play.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I also have the Philadelphia.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Eagles, and because of it, it's a lot of the
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: same thing that the reason we weren't picking the Eagles
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: late last season, and that's because they've got answers to
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: the blitz.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: The Packers didn't necessarily overwhelm Jalen Hurts with a lot
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: of double A gap stuff but when they set four,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: five times six a couple times, guys in pressures Jalen
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Looketalm Cool had quick answers to everything. That is something
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: that we did not see last year as the offense
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: kind of fell apart. I think that he can handle
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: the pressure and I've got a seven point win for
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the bird.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: Cynthia, Well, I think I'm probably the biggest different thing here. Mate. Yes,
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: Philadelphia wins this one. Twenty seventy eighteen. Still getting used
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: to this new way of talking, you know, it's really interesting.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: I want to talk about Saquon Barkley, not just because
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: he ended up in the end zone three times, but
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: we did see some problems on that center to quarterback exchange, communication,
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: et cetera.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: However, when you have a guy like Saquon, you can.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: Mitigate some of those kind of learning curve issues as
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: the O line settles. So if you're an Eagles fan,
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: and I know all Eagles fans are the most passionate
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: humans on the planet, they will tell you they're Eagles
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: fans from miles away.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: You're gonna be okay with that on line.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: I know it's you're not gonna replace Jason Kelsey, but
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: things will be okay. Maybe not so much with a
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: tush push, but it is going to be okay because
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: you've got squads there instead.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Where those folks, it's echoe.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you there.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: You can hear them down the hall, around the corner
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: twelve miles from here.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: It's all just bouncing off the canyon walls.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: It's time for quick fix here on game day you
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: the Browns and the Jags, both looking to bounce back
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: after disappointing week ones.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Ohen one against Owen one. Who becomes one in one great.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: The Jacksonville Jaguars and their offensive Rookie of the Year candidate,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Brian Thomas Junior. This kid was robbed. They gave Jaden
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Daniels didn't even have a good week. Rookie of the
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Year this week, I would have given it to Brian
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Thomas Junior. Four for forty two in a touchdown. Also
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: had a long pass interference, also opening it up for
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: his teammates. He just moves different. Sometimes you don't need
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: to be an expert when it comes to the scouting.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: This guy is bigger and faster and more agile than
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: almost anyone on the planet. I think he's going to
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: have an outstanding season.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Our locks up solid trend continues for the show. Lets
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: see if we switch it up Cynthia, the Raiders and
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: the Ravens Baltimore eight and a half, the biggest spread
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: of the week. Is there any chance that Gardner and
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: company come in there and wipe that off the board.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: There is always a chance. This is a National Football League.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: But I have twenty seven six to seventeen, so I'm
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: not saying the chance is very strong. I we usually
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: save our you know, write this down for the end
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: of the show, but write this down. Derek Henry's gonna
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: end up in the end zone. Why because of the
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: way he runs and how much yards after contact he delivers.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: I understand that Max Crosby is the best edge rusher
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: against the run edge.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Just run to the other side.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: That's the strategy right here, run away from Max Crosby.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: But realistically speaking, get in the end zone. We're going
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: to see it all right.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: This keeps happening, And let's go to Jim Harboll's team.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: They took care of business last week across the street.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Now they head to Caroline, picking Carolina. You I'm not
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: taking the Carolina Panthers I've got the Chargers winning by
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: just one because I think they keep the ball on
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: the ground as they should if you saw the Panthers
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Saints game. But the thing that I want to talk
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: about is pressure. Iky Akwanu gave up six of them,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: six of them against Chase Young in the opener.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: That is a huge issue.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Now that because we've got Bosa and Mac coming in,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: it does.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Not look good. We are all on the Chargers.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I have at eighteen to seventeen win at Bank of
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: America Stadium coming on both.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: We should have talked about Lad McConkie, by the way,
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: who also gets in the other I'm writing everything down.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: Lad McConkie. Another trip to the end zone in this one.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: I think it justin Herbert looks a little better throwing downfield.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Just say, oh, an improvement because past ten yards it
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: was not good in Week one.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: But that's real change.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: It's time to seize the season presented by Caesar Sportsbook.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: As we're looking at some first touchdown score odds between
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: that Patriots and Seahawks matchup that's going to be going
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: on in Foxborough.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Kenny Walker the third is the favorite.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Ramandre Stevenson right after that then DK, Tyler Lockett and
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Jackson Smith in JIGBA. Let's discuss the Greg Bull Gino
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: against the Patriots. It puts Greg in the dilemma between
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: what he he loves and what he believes.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: How do you discide?
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: How about it's between what I love and what I love.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, I love Geno, I love the Patriots, but
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: they're at different stages of development. I'm making the Seahawks
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: in this game twenty to thirteen because there's two great
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: defenses in this game, but there's only one great quarterback.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: That's Seattle. So let's talk about the Seahawks defense a
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: ton of pressure last week because of the guys in
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: the back end playing so well. Bo Nicks looks up
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: and he doesn't see anyone open in this game. Tarik
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Woolan had seven throws against him last week. He gave
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: up seventeen yards and had that interception. Everything I heard
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: about their training camp was he was on a mission.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: You put him and Devin Witherspoon in the same secondary
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: and you're just not gonna find enough open receivers. I
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: think it makes the Patriots offense very one dimensional. The
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Seahawks stopped the run and they get a close ugly win.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Not revenge for Malcolm Butler, but something.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: This is like choosing between which child you like best
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: and you just have it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: You can't do that. They just better on different days.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Got it? Okay, Well I.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Don't have that problem my math, says Seattle wins this
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: one twenty two sixteen.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: I want to point out a difference something.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: We were seeing a new trick in Geno Smith's bag,
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: and that's pre snap motion.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: We saw the most pre snap mode.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: I thought you were going to talk about that, because
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: I know you love Gino and you love pre snap motion.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: Ten different ten different pre snap motions, three different guys
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: did that. Also about seventy percent of plays we saw it.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: It made the O line look like all world O alignment,
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: which I love that, you know, that's my favorite. And
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: we saw a lot of new wrinkles unfolds, so it
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: really makes the offense just totally different. We didn't know
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: what we're going to see from Ryan Grebb. I think
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: we're starting to see what that is going to be,
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: pre snap motion, play action fun stuff.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: Wrinkles and folds be modern.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: They are it.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: One thing that kept them from looking modern was the
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: fact that they gave up two safeties in the first
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: half of the Denver Broncos. It could have been an
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: ugly loss for the Seattle Seahawks in the opener if
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: not for the efforts of one Kenneth Walker the third
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: who were keeping an eye on because this week he.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Was dealing with an oblique injury.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: But five point two yards per carry when things weren't
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: necessarily working well, Kenny Walker came out, goes down the.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Sideline, flies with the d N zone there and it
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: was no looking back.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Is that to burst the explosiveness?
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Such a fun football player to watch, looking forward to,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: say in the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Yet again, we're all on meme watch here. My gosh,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: everybody's taking were the Seattle Seahawks were triplets?
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Yep, mimous kids, and not one of you is better,
• 24:35

• 24:38

  Speaker 2: The Jets and the Titans.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers coming off a disappointing game against the forty
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: nine Ers. Meanwhile, the Titans blew a seventeen point lead,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: just the calamity of eras last week against the Bears.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: I like the Jets to rebound here, but only by
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: one point twenty one to twenty. We saw it in
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: the first half against the San Francisco forty nine Ers,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: the pairing of Garrett Wilson and Aaron Rodgers that finally
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: came into fruition as Aaron Rodgers was able to play
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: more than a few snaps and he had the ball
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: down the sideline over diomed or no, It's like, oh wow,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: this is gonna be all game. It turns out was
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: only a drive. I know the Fantasy World. There's some
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Allen Lazar Troopers out there. One of those touchdowns was
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: absolute garbage tub. This is Garrett Wilson's passing offense. But
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: the Titans at home a scrapping team. The defense played great.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: That's why I've only got a one point win for
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: the Jets.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Wasn't the other one on a free play too? Where
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: and Rodgers just like a monster? Anyways, I have the
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: Jets winning this one to twenty four to nineteen. Will Levis,
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: we love those deep passes, they're fun to watch. However,
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: they create a ton of volatility. This is an area
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: where you're not gonna be able to target the Jets
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: defense over the passes. The beginning of last season, so
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: last season plus one game, they've allowed exactly ten twenty
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: plus air yard passes. So it takes away one of
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: the things that Will Levis like makes him so volatile.
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: It doesn't it's just not going to work in this game.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: So my score is largely derived from the fact that
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: this is not going to be the game where we
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: see Will Levis just to connect and look like that
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: first time out last year when he just had his
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: first game, and we're.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: Like, well, we're all wrong about Will Levis.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: I think it's going to be something where the defense
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: has an advantage.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think both defenses end up playing well in
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: this game. But uh, I'm just going just Greg, just GREGA. Finally,
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: let's go Titans twenty three to twenty. Let's put the
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Jets on fraud watch. Just Greg got it right last
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: week with the Steelers. Gotta be right once again because
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: of the running game for the Titans. Hey, how did
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: the forty nine ers beat the Jets last week? I
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: run it down their throat? What did Bill Belichick say
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: this week on one of his many media appearances. I
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: can't remember which one. He said, they'd always try to
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: make plays when Jonathan Franklin Myers and Bryce huffword on
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: the field. Two great players for the Jets that are
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: no longer there. Maybe they're not as good upfront. You
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: know who's better uprunt? The Titans. They inherit this Callahans.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: You know, Brian brings his dad Bill there, and suddenly
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: you got a really cohesive running game. Tony Pollard looked
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: out standing, looked like he had more burst than he
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: had before. And there were holes there. So I think
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: they run it down the Jets throat to and Ozer.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Y're zeroing too rather for the Jets.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: So and people slept on Tony Pollard was hurt last year,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: saw the burstls there, but the Norad radar tracking Santa
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Frog flying to Florin Park for Greg Rosehal Let's do
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: the math Cynthiya for on this particular game. Aaron Rodgers
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: threw for one hundred and sixty seven yards in Week one?
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Will he throw for over or under two twenty five against.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: The Titan on Sunday?
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: Okay? So the Titans secondary is where we thought there
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: were some questions, and we saw Aaron Rodgers not necessarily
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: look like himself last week.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: How does the math that out?
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: The number is two sixteen, that's the number I have
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: forecast for him, which is lower than two twenty five.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: Why I think they have to run the ball to
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: control the football. I think both teams are far more
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: proficient in the run game. This one stays on the ground.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: It stays a lower game, which means not enough opportunities
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: for Rogers to throw.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: To hit that number?
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Right when? If the Titans end the running the ball
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: as well as I think they will, that's just one
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: of them. I thot Aaron Rodgers looked fine last week.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: But you know who else look fine? Lagarius Snead and
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Chadobie Uzie, the two veteran corners for the Titans. They've
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: been banged up, but they look pretty good.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Out there, all right. So we gotta pick.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: We got one pick that's separated all of us here
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: our game debut.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: When we come back, we're going to the Desert.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: The preview of the Rams and Cardinals, both squads coming
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: up just short in week one on the road. Who's
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: the first to get their dub on Sunday? We'll tell
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: you right after this quick break, we're back on game
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: day view. Election Day is coming up and we all
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: need to be ready to show up big our country.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Make sure you know your state's voter registration deadline as
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: well as requirements. For more resources and information, visit NFL
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: dot com slash votes. Let's look over at some of
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: the highest over unders for Week two according to Caesars Sportsbook,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: fifty one and a half points in that playoff rematch
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: between the Buccaneers and the Lions, and then the Rams
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: and the Cardinals in the Desert at forty eight points, second,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: leading the way ahead of the Bengals in chiefs. So
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: let's discuss that Rams Cardinals matchup Vegas expecting fireworks in
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: that point total. There both squads coming off narrow losses.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Is it a score fest in the desert where it's
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: a narrow game? Greg, who wins?
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: I have the Rams winning it. I kept looking at
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: that number. The Rams are an underdog in this game.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Give them to me because they only have the most
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: undestructible quarterback in the league, Matthew Stafford. He got hit
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: a lot last week. Their tackle situation is a problem.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: We're not sure if they're gonna get Rob Hanstein back
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: or not for this game. But Sean McVay has a
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: week to prepare, and I think the schedule makers did
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: him a favor. The one team on their entire schedule
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: that I think they could hold up against in terms
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: of pass protection is the Arizona Cardinals. They just don't
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: have any pure pass rushers. So if you can get
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford time, they have enough weapons even without Puka Nakua.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Look at Tyler Johnson, his replacement, Jordan Winnington make it
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: to play, so they have enough playmakers. I think they
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: get the win, Sean McVay. In this Rams team beat
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals by forty combined points in their two matchups
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: I'm completely with you. I think the wrong team is
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: favored in this one. I have a one point win
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: for the Rams twenty six to twenty five in this matchup.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: Run the football and you know who does that really well, Sean,
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: the Rams. They're gonna figure this one out. They have before.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: This is a puzzle they are uniquely suited to solve. Yes,
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: I don't love the fact that the tackles are on
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: the injury report and not playing.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: That's not great for any team.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: However, they're figuring out how to make the looks just
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: enough different to keep through Stafford, who potentially is the
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: most underrated, like first round pick ever in terms of
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: a quarterback like most underrated ever. If that's what I think,
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: Rams and Lions fans would both agree on that one.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: But they're gonna run the football and they're gonna win.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Verdy, the Cardinals are favored for a reason,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: and they're also not favored on this show for several
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: reasons that we have just outlined. I have a three
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: point win for the Los Angeles Rams as well, because,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: as Greg mentioned, we're not sure where the Cardinals pass
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: rush comes from.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: The Rams were.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Already good with a set of good young pass rushers,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: and then they go out and they draft Jared Verse
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: in the first round.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: They add Braydon Fisk.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Jared Vers equaled Will Anderson jun the defensive rookie of
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: the year's first game numbers. He comes out, he gets
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: a sack against Jared Golf against the Lions offensive line
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: at home in Detroit.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: He was very good right off of the bet.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I just don't know where the pressure comes from from
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: the Cardinals. All love to Marvin Harrison Junior.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I think he'll be better.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: And Kyler Murray, who will look great in spots against
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: It's just hard to take this Rams defense. It's so good,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: so early, mean the way children we are all on
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Tom to make some quick picks here on game debut,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: the Steelers and the Broncos and what would have been
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: We were so close to the Russell Wilson revenge game
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: discuss they played with his money a bit, Greg, But
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: now you're the only one to take the Steelers.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Last week, yes, were taking the Steelers again.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Of course I am. I believe in you justin Fields.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: You can tell who didn't watch the game last week
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: when they dog on Justin Fields. He played well in
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: that game. Okay, they didn't score a touchdown, but he
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: made a lot of winning football plays, good throws down
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: the field, smart times to run. One of the best
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: running quarterbacks. I believe that the game has ever seen,
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: and I think he's getting more and more comfortable in
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: this offense. They don't score a touchdown this week either.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: That's six field goals eighteen to twelve. They don't give
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: up any touchdowns either. It's a field goal fest in Denver.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: You don't even really need touchdowns if you got this defense.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: But I do want to point out that George Pickens
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: is again having the same trend carry over from last year,
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: which is those deep outside the numbers passes. So if
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: you're a fantasy player and you want to beat your opponent,
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: go for a guy like this who's boom or bust meeting.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: He's either going to catch those like insane bombs outside
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: the numbers really deep, or you know, he's not gonna
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: get anything. But it's fine, we'll go to the upside.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Here, and at least they get to look at justin
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: fields in practice, so like, see a quarterback that moves
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: because Kirk Cousins definitely didn't move that well in the
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: opener for the Atlanta Falcons.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Bonix can get around as well too, but we're.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: All late in the show. Stray for Kirk Cousins ray he.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Would like to move better to Let's get to the
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Colts and Packers in Lambeau. Malik Willis starting Jordan Love
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: dealing with that mcl sprain.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: How do you see this one going?
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: Cynthia Indianapolis wins this one twenty two to eighteen. Let's
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: just talk about Anthony Richards in here. It's interesting to watch.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Because we all know, yes, by the way, he's a
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: running threat too.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Everyone knows everyone knows, including the Packers defense, including last year,
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: last week, the Houston Texans defense. But he still manages
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: to make it look pretty easy here. I think it's
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: going to be a nice week to target Alec Pierce
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: again in fantasy if you're looking for someone that he
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: could connect with. But the threat of he and Jonathan
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Taylor is just too much for the Packers without Jordan Longe.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: There's something about this though. We all picked the Colts
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: and I'm sticking with it that I don't feel comfortable with.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Agree.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: No, it's at Lambeau. The Packers are a home underdog.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: That's worrisome. It's the first time we've seen Malik Willis
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: as a starter. The Colts defense gave up a lot
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: of yards on the ground last week to Houston. And
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: you can imagine Matt Lafler, who's a really good coach,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: coming up with a good running game where it features
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs, features Malik Willis. I'm just this would be
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: a stay away from me. But we have to pick,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: and I picked the Colts.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: By the way, another free write this down. Josh Jacobs
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: gets in the end zone.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Easy one there.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Jacobs played well in the opener. It's just hard to
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: not pick Anthony Richardson. There were contrails coming off that
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: ball to Ashton Doolan on the reverse angle. Just an
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: incredible thrower of the football.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Last one.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: The Giants and the Commanders surprising straight out here. I'm
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: the only one taking the Washington Commanders after the way
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: the New York Giants looked against the many Sloa Vikings
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: at home and the opener where they're honoring all these
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Giants greats. Aside from that, Jaydon Daniels got pressured a
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: whole lot by the time Bay Buccaneers, but.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: What he was able to do was get away with
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: it with his feet. And yet the performance wasn't that
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: great for the Commander's defense.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: But I just think, considering the offenses that are going
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: to be on the field, I believe more in Jayden
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Daniels than I do and dimes in the Giants.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: Can we talk a little bit about Malik Neighbors though,
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: because he very quietly leads all rookies and receiving yards. Okay,
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: come on, it was a little bit of love for
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: a guy on it. That was a tough outing, but
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: he still had the most yard.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: My hardest game to pick it. I think I wound
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: up taking the Giants because the Washington game was the
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: last one I watched, and the Bucks could have put
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: up about fifty five points. There were just receivers streaking
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: wide open all game long. And there's something about the
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Giants are in year three of this program with brand Deeble.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: If they can't win this game in game two of
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: this Washington program, where I just don't think they're very talented.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: They're in deep trouble. So you think Dexter Lawrence knew it?
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: Can we call him dex he watches the show. I'm
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: sure of it.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Dexter Lawrence had a really good game last week. Let's
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: I mean, we got to give some love here, Dexter
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: Laurence's bleak neighbors. Come on, those are those are the
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: positive reasons here?
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: All love And I probably should not do this because
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: I do not Greg and Cynthia to change their picks.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: But let's throw up some dimes footage. There's the a
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: VG pick six. He's done that call.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: So sometimes things, you know, you hold onto the ball
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: a little bit too long, you try to have the
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: time behind your tackle. You guys feel that the Harrison Smith,
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: so he's got a lot of folks. But all these
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: things happen in the same game.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Does they won't be wearing these uniforms though. That is
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: worth three points? Maybe Moore.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: The uniforms, I mean, I love it.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: I love the historic giants like I want like the
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: strayhand version. I just I like those uniforms best that
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: I'm with you here.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: If you're right, Daniel Jones may never play again.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: For the Giants Sunday, nine am Eastern. Rich Eyes and
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Kurt Warner, Steve Maryucci, Jerald McCoy.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Freely wait now you're not as small as smaller.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Looking forward to game day morning, Kurt explains what Rogers
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: needs to fix to get his first win of the season.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Live reports from stadiums all across the league, Sunday at
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: nine a m.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Eastern.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: As for us, it's time for write this down as
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: we get some predictions for Week two.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Greg's already been bold a couple times, so which got grit?
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if this is bold, but
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: it's Taj Spears. It's gonna be right over twenty three
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: and a half rushing yards. I mentioned how the Titans
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: ground game is gonna grind the Jets to dust, and
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: they're not just a one back backfield. Tony Pollard has
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: a big game. Taj Spears has a nice game. Two
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: more carries this week, not just receptions, and I'm so
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: big on this type them to Dust's.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Thunder and lightning when you got mortar and pestle.
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: I think mine's a little bit spicier than that one.
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: I have brock Bauers entering the end zone and scoring
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: his first NFL touchdown this weekend. Why he ran nine
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: of the routes on the route tree last week, which
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: means they already trust him. This guy has been on
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: the field for at least twenty six snaps on offense.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: That means that this is gonna be the opportunity. They
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: need some pass catchers, They need something to get going
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: here against the Ravens Black Bauers touchdown spicy.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: I also gave you some other ones that were less spicy.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: But that's a spicy.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: But there were several things that you could write down
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: for Cynthia Friella.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: I met a lot of writing today and.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: You need them because on the show we were in
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: lockstep for a lot of the time. We may be
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: on here. Let me know if you guys agree with
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: me on this.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: I think Derrick Henry is over seventy one rushing yards
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: against the Raiders on Sunday. In six of the last
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: seven games that Dereck Henry has played for eighteen when
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: they have one, he's gone.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Over this number.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: And I think the game script allows for more Dereck
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Henry to not necessarily in the opener, as the Chiefs
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: went out a couple touchdowns, they had to try to
