Speaker 1: NFL Game Deview is a production of the NFL in
0:06
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
0:12
Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome to a game deaveut, Patrick Clayboud here with
0:14
Speaker 2: Cynthia Freelan. You may be asking where's Greg Rosenthal. He's
0:17
Speaker 2: in Dublin for the Viking Steepers. Next. Yeah, fear not
0:20
Speaker 2: Greg Nation or wherever he calls you guys. We'll get
0:23
Speaker 2: all of his picks for you today on the show.
0:26
Speaker 2: Last week a rough one for a lot of folks,
0:29
Speaker 2: specifically me. I went seven to nine, Cynthia and Greg
0:31
Speaker 2: went aid to eight. But that means that she maintains
0:36
Speaker 2: that crown upon her head. Thirty one and seventeen on
0:42
Speaker 2: the season. Speaking of good records, what about the head
0:46
Speaker 2: to head record for Patrick Mahomes against Lamar Jackson including
0:49
Speaker 2: the playoffs five to one. There. Now, there are those
0:54
Speaker 2: who may note that they play against the opposing defense, and.
0:58
Speaker 3: Not necessarily I'm one of those.
1:00
Speaker 2: I'm as well. But we give you this because this
1:03
Speaker 2: is what the people care about. Look at the fresh
1:05
Speaker 2: edition of Lamar Versus Mahomes Sunday and Arrowhead. One of
1:08
Speaker 2: these teams is going to be one in three After
1:09
Speaker 2: Sunday Grant picked the Baltimore Ravens. What are you picking? Simple?
1:13
Speaker 4: I too am picking the Baltimore Ravens, but just by
1:16
Speaker 4: one point twenty four twenty three. It turns out having
1:20
Speaker 4: Justin Mattabika not there nom the Matta bk excuse me
1:22
Speaker 4: not there is a big problem. And that's why it's
1:25
Speaker 4: just a one point win. But I'm looking at Derrick
1:27
Speaker 4: Henry and I know some people have had some questions,
1:29
Speaker 4: what's going on these fumbles? What's going on with Derrick Henry?
1:32
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you that he is going to be
1:35
Speaker 4: a much better spot. And Mark Andrews is also going
1:38
Speaker 4: to help. We saw him return last week against the Lions.
1:41
Speaker 4: He was there on Crusil Down's third down in the
1:43
Speaker 4: red area when they needed to get another first down,
1:46
Speaker 4: they relied on Mark Andrews. All of whatever happened in
1:49
Speaker 4: that game against that other red team that we're not
1:52
Speaker 4: going to talk about, that is all over with now
1:54
Speaker 4: and Mark Andrews opportunity and this.
1:56
Speaker 3: One is massive.
1:58
Speaker 4: It is a big deal to target this defense with
2:00
Speaker 4: multiple pass.
2:01
Speaker 3: Catchers, and Mark Andrews' contribution will be massive.
2:04
Speaker 2: It was odd to see Lamar back there waiting for
2:07
Speaker 2: guys to come open, not necessarily able to get away
2:09
Speaker 2: from the Lions rush. I'm looking at this matchup against
2:12
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. I've got a one point win for the
2:14
Speaker 2: home team, the Kansas City Chiefs getting a win against Baltimore. Yes,
2:18
Speaker 2: I'll take a stray band against my team, and Philip
2:20
Speaker 2: will accuse me of a reverse jinx. But I'm thinking
2:23
Speaker 2: back to Labar in that game, not necessarily having anywhere
2:26
Speaker 2: to go, waiting for guys to get open. The guy
2:27
Speaker 2: on the other side, Patrick Mahomes, He's not waiting for
2:30
Speaker 2: guys to get open because the Kansasity Chiefs aren't getting open.
2:33
Speaker 2: He's having to do it all by himself. He scrambled
2:35
Speaker 2: on fifteen point three percent of his dropbacks this season.
2:38
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have nine explosive rushes all season long. Seven
2:42
Speaker 2: of them are Patrick Mahomes scrambling. He's got the team
2:46
Speaker 2: on his back, and I think that's good enough for
2:48
Speaker 2: him to maintain a streak of not having three losses
2:52
Speaker 2: in September something.
2:53
Speaker 3: That's there's eleven players on offense.
2:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're asking number fifteen to do like seventy five
3:00
Speaker 4: percent of everything.
3:01
Speaker 2: Consistently, and it hasn't worked.
3:03
Speaker 3: Out but a lot. So let's ask of anyone.
3:06
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna work out. Tom for Who's Eating Good?
3:08
Speaker 2: Presented by Applebee's Cynthia Well. Derrick Henry run for more
3:12
Speaker 2: or less than eighty four and a half yards against
3:14
Speaker 2: Kansas City.
3:15
Speaker 4: I am a Derrick Henry fan for so many reasons,
3:18
Speaker 4: but taking my fandom out of it, the answer is more.
3:20
Speaker 4: I haven't projected for ninety three yards. Why because he's
3:24
Speaker 4: facing light boxes at a higher rate, so more light boxes. Sure,
3:28
Speaker 4: he's been stuffed more often this season. Teams are ready
3:31
Speaker 4: for him in a very different way. Father time, we
3:34
Speaker 4: get it. He's undefeated over time, blob.
3:36
Speaker 2: I don't care.
3:37
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry is still the man. I'm looking at these
3:39
Speaker 4: explosive rushes. There is a reason that Baltimore leads the
3:41
Speaker 4: league in explosive rush rate.
3:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, King Henry, the Ravens, everyone else though, all chasing
3:46
Speaker 2: last year's champions of Philadelphia Eagles and Philly came back
3:50
Speaker 2: to win in dramatic fashion a week ago against LA
3:54
Speaker 2: Have they blocked us? Had they fussed us?
3:58
Speaker 5: Then?
3:59
Speaker 2: He hasn't missed the season other than the block. Well,
4:02
Speaker 2: this will be a good time. This is for the game.
4:06
Speaker 2: Hold your breast. The Bulls spotted. The kick is a
4:11
Speaker 2: way block. It's block expected, not by the Eagles. Won
4:15
Speaker 2: me what it is? Davis? Thirty twenty ten fine touchdown
4:21
Speaker 2: Dave O George Davis? Are you jagging me? What come
4:25
Speaker 2: my gun? Are you? Jannick Walk?
4:27
Speaker 1: Oh my god?
4:28
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen anything like this? As a final score,
4:32
Speaker 2: it's thirty three to twenty six, Pandemonium and Philly and
4:38
Speaker 2: just a no sell from Jalen Hurts. The Philly now
4:40
Speaker 2: heading to Tampa, both squad sitting at three and oh,
4:43
Speaker 2: Mike Evans is out for the Bucks, but there is
4:45
Speaker 2: a chance Chris Godwin's playing, Greg is taking the Birds.
4:49
Speaker 2: What about you something?
4:50
Speaker 4: I am also taking the Birds, but just by two
4:52
Speaker 4: points twenty four to twenty two. And it isn't on
4:55
Speaker 4: last minute heroics life last week, but it is on
4:58
Speaker 4: something that happened in the second half, and that's the
5:00
Speaker 4: return of the past by Jalen Hurts.
5:02
Speaker 3: Is specifically the past that traveled at least ten yards.
5:05
Speaker 4: This is something that for the first ten quarters of
5:08
Speaker 4: the Eagle season, they were just two of seven attempts
5:11
Speaker 4: on any pass that was over ten air yards.
5:14
Speaker 3: That's a pretty crazy, ridiculous number.
5:17
Speaker 4: Now it's back. The mojo is back there flowing. Now
5:20
Speaker 4: you can run, now you can pass. Both things will
5:22
Speaker 4: be elevated because of the past being back, So the
5:25
Speaker 4: run will get better from that as well.
5:27
Speaker 3: The touch push. We get it. It is infallible pretty much right,
5:30
Speaker 3: but now we have the pass game to go along
5:33
Speaker 3: with it.
5:33
Speaker 4: This is good news against the Bucks, who again, without
5:35
Speaker 4: Mike Evans, things are different. So perhaps all the whole
5:38
Speaker 4: game plan complimentary football is different without him.
5:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, not just Mike Evans. The Bucks have had to
5:42
Speaker 2: overcome a whole bunch of injuries, so many are here
5:44
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. I have the same exact court
5:47
Speaker 2: Cynthia does twenty four to Twitter plan twin no conversation,
5:52
Speaker 2: just matching, matching the whole way through. I think there's
5:55
Speaker 2: more points than some people might think. Shout out to
5:57
Speaker 2: al Michaels. But you know the theme of the show.
6:00
Speaker 2: I don't have to be a tongue in cheap with
6:02
Speaker 2: regards to that because the necond Buka has huge opportunity
6:05
Speaker 2: with no Mike Evans and maybe no Chris Godwin there.
6:09
Speaker 2: But the problem is with the Eagles Quinyon Mitchell has
6:12
Speaker 2: such a significant impact. He's moving around more, and I
6:15
Speaker 2: Buket just isn't as good in the slot this season,
6:18
Speaker 2: He's only had twenty seven yards, whereas out wide he
6:21
Speaker 2: has a lot of success. But out wide you're gonna
6:23
Speaker 2: run into twenty seven. I still think there's a lot
6:26
Speaker 2: of points, perhaps more points than some people might think.
6:30
Speaker 4: I was gonna do an Al Michael's impersonation, but I
6:32
Speaker 4: will save.
6:32
Speaker 3: Everywhere from that.
6:33
Speaker 2: No cympion. It's vegetable, so we can't do that. Our
6:35
Speaker 2: next matchup takes us to lovely Dublin, Ireland.
6:41
Speaker 5: The Minnesota Vikames and Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, ironlandc.
6:50
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
6:52
Speaker 6: Rogers fire doesn't even.
6:57
Speaker 2: Jim Son, you are not big enough to ride this
7:00
Speaker 2: right teaching walk with the sack whoa c in Dublin,
7:11
Speaker 2: My brother snooze off game on Sunday Morning Football kicks
7:16
Speaker 2: it Off in Dublin, presented by Madden. NFL twenty sixth
7:19
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson and the Vikings versus Aaron Rodgers and the
7:22
Speaker 2: Steelers Sunday nine thirty Eastern, only on NFL Network and
7:26
Speaker 2: streaming with NFL plus subscript from required for NFL plus
7:29
Speaker 2: visit plus dot NFL dot com four terms. This should
7:34
Speaker 2: be a good one for the fans there in Dublin.
7:36
Speaker 2: The Vikings rolled the Bengals last week, while Rodgers has
7:39
Speaker 2: the Steelers sitting at two to one. Let's send it
7:41
Speaker 2: over to our dear friend Greg Rosenthal, who's in Dublin
7:44
Speaker 2: for the game.
7:47
Speaker 6: I'm here in front of the National Concert Hall in Dublin,
7:51
Speaker 6: and you thought I wasn't gonna get a good shot. Well,
7:53
Speaker 6: I also got to pick for this game. I am
7:55
Speaker 6: going Vikings nineteen seventeen. Aaron Rodgers is dead last in
8:01
Speaker 6: the NFL this season in terms of completion percent under pressure.
8:05
Speaker 6: And you know who loves to send pressure and get pressure.
8:08
Speaker 6: It's Brian Flores and this Vikings defense. He sent Aaron
8:11
Speaker 6: Rodgers home crying last year from London. This year he
8:15
Speaker 6: will be drowning his sorrows in some guinness after the game.
8:19
Speaker 2: Thanks Greg. Also thanks to the man in the hat
8:21
Speaker 2: who walked behind Greg at the finish there. Do you agree?
8:23
Speaker 2: Do you have the Minnesota Vikings?
8:24
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad Greg could take away time from his
8:27
Speaker 4: busy guinness drinking schedule to join us, but I do
8:29
Speaker 4: have the same winner as him, but just by one point.
8:31
Speaker 4: I have twenty two to twenty one in this matchup.
8:34
Speaker 3: And it's really interesting about the run game for Minnesota.
8:37
Speaker 3: Greg brought up a great point about the Minnesota defense,
8:40
Speaker 3: but defense plus run game equals wins.
8:43
Speaker 4: And Jordan Mason is a guy who came in in
8:45
Speaker 4: relief of Christian McCaffrey last season, averaged more than ninety
8:48
Speaker 4: four yards in those starts over the course of those starts.
8:51
Speaker 3: And last week he picked up kind of where.
8:53
Speaker 4: Aaron Jones left off after he left. So I'm looking
8:56
Speaker 4: at this and then you look at the Steelers defense.
8:57
Speaker 4: They've allowed twenty eight missed tackles. They've missed twenty eight tackles,
9:01
Speaker 4: so they did twenty two of them in weeks one
9:03
Speaker 4: and two. Just last week against the pass but that
9:05
Speaker 4: game was full of weirdo turnovers and odd things. So
9:09
Speaker 4: I'm thinking that Kevin O'Connell will get Jordan Mason the
9:12
Speaker 4: ball in space, both in the catching game as well
9:15
Speaker 4: as on the ground.
9:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, the designs work out for the Minnesota Vikings in
9:18
Speaker 2: this one, and against the Steelers defense that's given up
9:21
Speaker 2: thirty points per Game two, everybody that didn't turn the
9:23
Speaker 2: ball over five times. That's an official stat from my statistics.
9:28
Speaker 3: Good job.
9:28
Speaker 2: Your model says, yeah, my model says the Vikings win
9:31
Speaker 2: at twenty eight to twenty four because Aaron Rodgers, yes,
9:34
Speaker 2: mem Us away Steelers fans has to deal with the
9:37
Speaker 2: blitz coming from Brian Flores and this veteran defense. They
9:41
Speaker 2: can do so many different things. You could see Mattellus
9:44
Speaker 2: in the box showing blitz and then he's the deep
9:47
Speaker 2: safety in like a cover three on the sideline where
9:49
Speaker 2: guys are moving around. They get Andrew ben Ginkle back
9:52
Speaker 2: for his second game back. There's just a lot to do,
9:55
Speaker 2: and in terms of which quarterback is gonna have to
9:57
Speaker 2: do more, it feels like Aaron Rodgers needs to do
10:00
Speaker 2: a whole lot more than Carson Wentz against the much
10:03
Speaker 2: better defense. But we do feel comfortable with the Minnesota
10:06
Speaker 2: Michael get getting a win for a great crowd in Dublin.
10:09
Speaker 4: They would move to five and oh internationally as well.
10:11
Speaker 4: They're four and oh right now, five wins abroad.
10:13
Speaker 2: They just can't be stopped.
10:16
Speaker 1: I bought to Dallas Cowboys with a handshake, handshak.
10:19
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones said, that handshake deal with Michael Parsons. That's it.
10:24
Speaker 6: He'd be the highest guaranteed player on defense, and then
10:27
Speaker 6: we were going to send it over to the agent.
10:30
Speaker 2: The agent, so it was to stick it up. Same
10:34
Speaker 2: way did Jerry Jones take care of their family? The
10:36
Speaker 2: same way I need to take care of my family.
10:39
Speaker 2: We really got three years to work this thing. Ow
10:41
Speaker 2: I did that with stat you, me and Mike have talked.
10:44
Speaker 2: I don't have the full answer for it. I think
10:46
Speaker 2: all of mine would have been done a lot earlier
10:48
Speaker 2: than they were playing. His media game with Jerry is
10:50
Speaker 2: not fun. But I do want Michael to get paid.
10:53
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons requested a trade away from the Cowboys.
10:57
Speaker 5: Jerry, are you considering trading Michael Parsons negotiation talk?
11:02
Speaker 2: That's where I put that if they don't want me
11:05
Speaker 2: to hear, they don't want me to hear, well, if
11:07
Speaker 2: this is dead, this is dad.
11:09
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers forty seven million
11:13
Speaker 4: dollars per year.
11:14
Speaker 2: It came quick, but that's the way things go.
11:17
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Micah don't want.
11:19
Speaker 2: Him to have success, want to play the Cowboys. I
11:21
Speaker 2: do want him to have overall success. Oh, like the
11:26
Speaker 2: Sands in the hour glass, time first seized the season
11:28
Speaker 2: presented by Caesar's Sportsbook. As we look at the first
11:31
Speaker 2: touchdown score odds according to our friends over there at
11:34
Speaker 2: Season sports Book, Josh Jacobs negative two thirteen, javontey at
11:37
Speaker 2: plus one thirty five, George Pickens at plus one forty five,
11:40
Speaker 2: Romeo Dobs and Jake Ferguson rounding out the list. It
11:44
Speaker 2: is going down Sunday night in Dallas, Michaeh Parsons versus
11:47
Speaker 2: Jerry and the Boys. Although Jerry's not playing, Greg is
11:50
Speaker 2: riding with the Green Bay Packers. Are you leaning into
11:52
Speaker 2: particular directions? India?
11:54
Speaker 4: As much as I like the drama and shout out
11:56
Speaker 4: to whoever our editor is, who got the cdee lamb
12:00
Speaker 4: tackling the Sideliner raphtics that was I mean, that was masterful.
12:03
Speaker 4: But I still have Green Bay winning. It's not a
12:05
Speaker 4: dramatic one for my finish year twenty eighth to twenty.
12:08
Speaker 4: In this matchup, I agree with Caesars.
12:10
Speaker 3: I think Josh.
12:11
Speaker 4: Jacobs finds the end zone in this one perhaps first, sure,
12:14
Speaker 4: why not? It doesn't matter when in my predictions, but
12:17
Speaker 4: I look at the opportunity here from against this defense.
12:21
Speaker 4: I know that we talked about or Jerry Jones talked
12:23
Speaker 4: about fixing the Cowboys run events that seems to have
12:27
Speaker 4: yet to have occurred. And when you're looking at the
12:31
Speaker 4: opportunity to kind of keep Jordan Love in the situation
12:34
Speaker 4: where he gets to exploit the fact that this defense
12:36
Speaker 4: plays only zone like seventy four percent of the time.
12:39
Speaker 3: It's through run and pass.
12:40
Speaker 4: And we know that Josh Jacobs, he just broke his
12:42
Speaker 4: streak of having eleven touchdowns in eleven games. Last week,
12:45
Speaker 4: he did not have one. This week he starts the
12:48
Speaker 4: new streak touchdown.
12:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, mister Jones would like the team to improve against
12:51
Speaker 2: the run. I think they should also improve against the pass.
12:53
Speaker 2: If only they were a very talented edge rusher that
12:56
Speaker 2: they can employ against the opposer.
12:58
Speaker 3: Here would you find one of that?
12:59
Speaker 2: I guess you find them in Green Bay, Wisconsin. But
13:01
Speaker 2: he's going to be coming into Jerry World where they
13:03
Speaker 2: will be playing a tribute video for Micah Parsons. But
13:07
Speaker 2: maybe they could show some of this on tape. The
13:10
Speaker 2: opposing team averaging nine point five air yards per attempt
13:14
Speaker 2: against the Dallas Cowboys. That's the fourth most in the NFL,
13:18
Speaker 2: and I know they're happy to get Treyvon Diggs back.
13:19
Speaker 2: He has not forced a single tight window throw on
13:22
Speaker 2: any of his eight targets faced in twenty twenty five.
13:25
Speaker 2: It's been a rough go for Matt Eberfluse and for
13:28
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys defense. But I'm projecting them score twenty
13:31
Speaker 2: eight points because I think there may be some garbage
13:34
Speaker 2: time involved. Just a lot of points here. Not all
13:37
Speaker 2: of them are gonna necessarily matter, but you know, people
13:42
Speaker 2: like scores, people like fantasy season. The season is brought
13:44
Speaker 2: to you by Caasars Sportsbook. New users can bet one
13:47
Speaker 2: dollar to boost their next twenty bets by one hundred percent.
13:49
Speaker 2: Must be twenty one or older. See Caesars dot com
13:52
Speaker 2: slash promos in order to get the full terms the
13:57
Speaker 2: highest over unders of the week for Week four, The
14:00
Speaker 2: Colts and the Rams leading the way at forty nine
14:03
Speaker 2: and a have just ahead of the Ravens and the Chiefs,
14:05
Speaker 2: the Saints and the Bills, Bears, Raiders and Packers Cowboys
14:09
Speaker 2: rounding out this group. The Caesars has the Colts in
14:13
Speaker 2: the Rams again projected as the highest scoring game of
14:15
Speaker 2: the week, and he's still undefeated Rams coming off a
14:18
Speaker 2: rough one, that heartbreaker we saw earlier to the Eagles.
14:20
Speaker 2: Greg is taking the Rams here, and I agree, I've
14:23
Speaker 2: got a twenty six to twenty four win for Los Angeles,
14:26
Speaker 2: although a lot hinges on the health of one Devonte
14:30
Speaker 2: Adams in this Rams passing attack miss practice a couple
14:34
Speaker 2: of days this week, and Matthew Stafford very very good
14:38
Speaker 2: as he's traditionally on play actions, completed twenty eight of
14:41
Speaker 2: his thirty eight pay play action pass attempts for three
14:44
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty nine yards that's the second most in
14:47
Speaker 2: the league and four touchdowns, which is the most in
14:49
Speaker 2: the league. The Colts have allowed one hundred and twelve
14:52
Speaker 2: passing yards and a thirty six seven percent drop back
14:55
Speaker 2: success rate the quarterbacks on play action now, is that
14:58
Speaker 2: because the quarterbacks they've played have been like Tua in
15:01
Speaker 2: a bad year, cam Warden is very first year or
15:05
Speaker 2: bo Nick's having a rough start to his twenty twenty
15:08
Speaker 2: five or are those guys having rough starts because they've
15:10
Speaker 2: played the Colts? We will see something.
15:12
Speaker 3: My answer is both.
15:14
Speaker 4: Because I have the upset here give prime number here.
15:18
Speaker 4: That's a lovely little noise that we'd played there twenty
15:21
Speaker 4: five to twenty four, just a one point upset for
15:24
Speaker 4: the Colts.
15:24
Speaker 3: We've been talking a lot about Daniel.
15:26
Speaker 4: Jones this season for very good reason, but who is
15:28
Speaker 4: helping him out Jonathan Taylor, who is absolutely crushing it.
15:32
Speaker 4: One of the stats that really stood out to me
15:34
Speaker 4: in this matchup is the fact that on third down,
15:37
Speaker 4: guess which team has the lowest yards to go in
15:40
Speaker 4: the National footballing game?
15:41
Speaker 2: Is it the Colt It is?
15:42
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, you know why this is happening because
15:45
Speaker 4: they're using diversity of play calling on first and second down,
15:48
Speaker 4: and Jonathan Taylor is doing craziness madness like this.
15:52
Speaker 3: He's doing it against good defense as too.
15:54
Speaker 4: That was just the Broncos defense in that last highlight
15:57
Speaker 4: here it is again that's a good defense right there,
16:00
Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen.
16:01
Speaker 3: He is getting open. This scheme is working, the past
16:04
Speaker 3: game works with their ready. It's almost like these things
16:06
Speaker 3: go together, guys. You know, it's just a good opportunity
16:09
Speaker 3: for both. So Jonathan Taylor, let's give him.
16:11
Speaker 4: I feel like we know we talked about like all
16:13
Speaker 4: these other ruddy where's Jonathan Taylor in this discussion?
16:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the better players in the NFL this season,
16:18
Speaker 2: and yeah, when Cynthia's got a prime number this season
16:21
Speaker 2: that has been deep blue bloo peep wearing that crown.
16:23
Speaker 2: Still to come to Caleb and the Bears really figured
16:25
Speaker 2: things out last week or was it just a mirage?
16:28
Speaker 2: The Cowboys defense is a little shaky. Ben Johnson's squad
16:31
Speaker 2: heading to Sin City to take on Gino and the
16:33
Speaker 2: Raiders are picks for that one and more coming up
16:36
Speaker 2: next on Game Davut one safety back deep. Here's the pitch.
16:48
Speaker 2: The swift passes it back to Caleb Williams looking deep
16:51
Speaker 2: down the left side.
16:52
Speaker 5: Go through the part of the ten five ten zone touchdown, touchdown, Bears,
17:01
Speaker 5: Ben's bag of tricks.
17:05
Speaker 2: That's number one Thing's bag of tricks.
17:08
Speaker 5: Fans are going to serve they loved it.
17:11
Speaker 2: I hope to mean that Alaminaezikias just gets left out
17:14
Speaker 2: of every celebration this season because the Bears are having
17:17
Speaker 2: some fun. Last week, Kayla finished with four touchdowns, wasn't
17:21
Speaker 2: sacked for the first time in his NFL career. Chicago
17:24
Speaker 2: heading to Vegas to take on the Raiders. Greg is
17:26
Speaker 2: all aboard the Bears hype train. Are you aboard with him, Cynthia.
17:30
Speaker 4: I am nuts, I am I will said voting, but
17:34
Speaker 4: my model Joes, they're Raiders twenty four to twenty three
17:37
Speaker 4: in this one last week, I want to point out
17:39
Speaker 4: something about these.
17:40
Speaker 3: Tree Tucker touchdowns. There were three of them, by the way,
17:42
Speaker 3: in case do you miss them.
17:43
Speaker 4: They were all on off coverage against off coverage, and
17:46
Speaker 4: they were all on you.
17:48
Speaker 3: Know, really kind of more difficult us.
17:50
Speaker 4: But the other thing they were all under like the
17:52
Speaker 4: same circumstances.
17:53
Speaker 3: Was no pressure for Gino Smith.
17:55
Speaker 4: And what is the difference between Washington and the Bears. Well,
17:58
Speaker 4: high pressure rate from Washington not so high as in
18:01
Speaker 4: fourth lowest for the Bears.
18:03
Speaker 3: So Gina Smith will have a ton more time.
18:05
Speaker 4: Meaning maybe it's not necessarily to trade Tucker. Perhaps the
18:08
Speaker 4: Jacobe Myers, perhaps a Rock Powers. I don't really care
18:10
Speaker 4: about that, but I'm looking at the opportunity for Gino
18:13
Speaker 4: Smith to stay clean, which means better results in the
18:15
Speaker 4: pass game.
18:16
Speaker 2: It's a similar theme I have the Las Vegas Raiders,
18:18
Speaker 2: and nobody can accuse me of looking on Cynthia's paper
18:20
Speaker 2: because I have a totally different score. Twenty four twenty two,
18:24
Speaker 2: and as much fun as we're having with the Bears offensing.
18:26
Speaker 3: Yes, just gragnation.
18:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, just great nation, Let's go Bears. The problem is
18:32
Speaker 2: for just Amo out of the country. Is the Bears
18:34
Speaker 2: defense still kind of frightening me a bit? As Cynthia
18:37
Speaker 2: pointed out, number twenty nine in the league and pressure rate,
18:40
Speaker 2: and when Eugene Cyril Smith isn't pressured, there's a lot
18:44
Speaker 2: of points. He finished twelve or fifteen for two hundred
18:46
Speaker 2: and fifteen yards and three touchdowns. They all came when
18:50
Speaker 2: he didn't have people flying at his feet. And this
18:52
Speaker 2: is just a look what it's looked like when Dennis
18:55
Speaker 2: Allen squad hasn't gotten pressure. Here in twenty twenty five.
18:58
Speaker 2: Still we've all got close games. Looking forward to seeing
19:02
Speaker 2: that one between the Bears and the Races. Gino and
19:04
Speaker 2: Caleb both trying to find their stride. There's one guy
19:06
Speaker 2: who already has and is just bawling as Justin Herbert.
19:11
Speaker 5: Shucking down in ships Herbert to the air, Pipkins the
19:15
Speaker 5: block at.
19:15
Speaker 2: The right jacket, got away from now Purple to the
19:18
Speaker 2: the pro.
19:21
Speaker 4: Touchdown.
19:24
Speaker 2: He's got a clean shot at him.
19:26
Speaker 5: Herbert step took at the pocket and throws him away
19:28
Speaker 5: with one arm.
19:31
Speaker 2: Oh one of the best throws we've seen thus far.
19:33
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert and the three No Chargers taking on the
19:35
Speaker 2: g Men at MetLife. Jackson Dart has been named this
19:38
Speaker 2: Giant starting quarterback. Will the rookie save New York?
19:43
Speaker 4: Maybe, But I don't necessarily think it's this particular week.
19:47
Speaker 4: I have the Chargers winning twenty four to nineteen. This
19:50
Speaker 4: is a really tricky matchup. But I think the thing
19:53
Speaker 4: that everybody who is a Giants fan is looking for
19:56
Speaker 4: is hope. It's the opportunity to see what Jackson Dart
20:00
Speaker 4: could potentially be. Yes, the defense is hard, We're gonna
20:04
Speaker 4: the circumstances, not the best, not the easiest.
20:07
Speaker 3: This is a team, though, that has only won one
20:09
Speaker 3: of their past nine home games.
20:10
Speaker 4: They've thrown seven total touchdowns in those ten games. This
20:14
Speaker 4: is a team who's looking for hope passing touchdowns.
20:18
Speaker 3: Let's have Malik Neighbors look happy. Hey, what's that?
20:21
Speaker 4: It's kind of like when I come to work and
20:22
Speaker 4: I see you, I'm just so happy.
20:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, God forbid, they like working together.
20:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's we're not just having such a great
20:29
Speaker 2: time because Greg's not.
20:30
Speaker 3: We love Greg two.
20:31
Speaker 2: But yeah, we love Greg we all have picked the
20:35
Speaker 2: Chargers here. I've got twenty eight to sixteen Justin Herbert
20:39
Speaker 2: and the Chargers have been great on offense, but the
20:41
Speaker 2: Chargers defense has forced quarterbacks to make plays, and I
20:44
Speaker 2: think that's a rough situation to make your first start
20:47
Speaker 2: at home in MetLife. I know people are going to
20:49
Speaker 2: be like, well, yeah, to play try extra hard because
20:52
Speaker 2: the New York media is gonna I think people ask
20:54
Speaker 2: tough questions everywhere. The number eight passing defense in terms
20:59
Speaker 2: of efficiency is this Chargers team. They've got great veteran contributions,
21:03
Speaker 2: getting Tony Jefferim to come in and play as well
21:05
Speaker 2: as he has, and Derwin James is having a great season.
21:08
Speaker 2: A rough opportunity. It's going to be a long road
21:10
Speaker 2: for Jackson Dart. The problems with the franchise are a
21:13
Speaker 2: whole lot more and vast than just at the quarterback position.
21:17
Speaker 2: So yeah, we're all taking the Chargers and mem Us
21:20
Speaker 2: away those who believe there's a big change coming in
21:23
Speaker 2: New York. Tom for two minute drill presented by the
21:26
Speaker 2: Wells Fargo Active Cash credit Card. Let's do some quick
21:29
Speaker 2: picks and rapid succession. The winless Saints taking on the
21:32
Speaker 2: unbeaten Bills in Orchard Park. We had upsets last week.
21:36
Speaker 2: Do you believe, Cynthia.
21:37
Speaker 3: I believe in the Bill. I believe there.
21:40
Speaker 2: It is.
21:41
Speaker 4: Thirty two to sixteen is my score in this matchup.
21:44
Speaker 3: Bonus.
21:44
Speaker 4: Actually, both running backs here have a good opportunity.
21:47
Speaker 3: But James Cook reaching the end zone. That feels like
21:51
Speaker 3: a little chucky. But I like it. I like it
21:53
Speaker 3: no matter what.
21:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, we like chaw. The little hanging fruit still taste
21:57
Speaker 2: just as good. Let's go to the Bengals and Broncos
21:59
Speaker 2: Monday night. Jake Browning is down five picks in two games,
22:02
Speaker 2: and I see the Broncos bouncing back in a big
22:04
Speaker 2: way here, winning twenty seven to twenty two. I would
22:06
Speaker 2: like to discuss one Courtland Sutton is having a solid
22:09
Speaker 2: start to a season. He's maybe four passes away from
22:12
Speaker 2: having one hundred more yards this season. He and Knicks
22:14
Speaker 2: have missed on some big opportunities. And when the Bengals
22:17
Speaker 2: play zone, the opponent has a success rate above fifty
22:21
Speaker 2: one percent. That's in the bottom third of the league.
22:24
Speaker 2: And I will say once again, justice for Lou.
22:27
Speaker 4: Exactly, justice for Lou to the command. Maybe it wasn't
22:30
Speaker 4: his fault wasn't that Colts are doing pretty darn well.
22:33
Speaker 2: Certainly Commanders and the Falcons were still unsure if Jade
22:36
Speaker 2: and Scary Terry are going to play. Atlanta got waxed
22:39
Speaker 2: last week against the Panthers. Did the Falcons bounce back here? No?
22:43
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they a little bit. They score points, Okay,
22:46
Speaker 3: they don't get puss love.
22:47
Speaker 4: I have twenty five to twenty one in a game
22:49
Speaker 4: where it's scorecasts to be closer, but so it's not
22:51
Speaker 4: as close as whatever, not as close as forecast. But
22:54
Speaker 4: I'm looking at this one and talking about that pressure
22:56
Speaker 4: rate fifty point four percent that leads the league. There's
22:59
Speaker 4: only two teams that are pressuring over fifty percent.
23:02
Speaker 3: It's them and the Broncos.
23:03
Speaker 4: And they're getting sacked, they're getting home, they're disrupting quarterbacks.
23:06
Speaker 4: That doesn't look fun. I don't want to be sacked
23:08
Speaker 4: like that. No any quarterback coming out of this. And
23:11
Speaker 4: Michael Pennock Junior, he has some bad under pressure statistics.
23:15
Speaker 3: So let's just say advantage Commander's defense.
23:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna learn a whole lot about all of
23:21
Speaker 2: these teams involved in considering how last week and how
23:24
Speaker 2: bad it was as the Falcons have had some rough
23:26
Speaker 2: ones against the Panthers.
23:28
Speaker 3: They had to fire one of their coaches.
23:30
Speaker 2: We'll see how they adjust. Speaking of those Carolina Panthers,
23:32
Speaker 2: they got the Patriots and Carolina right and high after
23:35
Speaker 2: last week's beat down to the Falcons. I think they're
23:37
Speaker 2: victorious again on Sunday, winning twenty three twenty. I will
23:41
Speaker 2: take the strayband as I'm looking high and low for.
23:45
Speaker 4: The researcher is fist pumping about this? So yeah, right,
23:48
Speaker 4: perhaps you're not Panthers.
23:50
Speaker 2: I'm just searching, but like combing through all sorts of
23:53
Speaker 2: statistics to try to find the thing that the New
23:56
Speaker 2: England Patriots have done that was more impressive than what
23:59
Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers did in Charlotte Against the Falcons, the
24:02
Speaker 2: franchisees first shutout since back in twenty twenty, held Michael
24:05
Speaker 2: Pennix Junior to one hundred and seventy two yards two interceptions.
24:08
Speaker 2: Could be one of the best games this weekend. I
24:11
Speaker 2: think it will be close, in fact, we all do,
24:13
Speaker 2: but I will take the Panthers by three, and I
24:15
Speaker 2: don't mind time for more or less here on game debut,
24:21
Speaker 2: as we talked some player props for this Steelers Vikings
24:24
Speaker 2: matchup in Dublin. Why don't you start us off, Cynthia
24:28
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz more or less than one and a half
24:31
Speaker 2: touchdowns more or.
24:32
Speaker 3: Less more more one and a half touchdowns.
24:35
Speaker 4: You can target this Steelers defense in the passing game.
24:39
Speaker 3: We've now seen it for three weeks.
24:41
Speaker 4: They get Jordan Addison back, that sounds good. Justin Jefferson.
24:44
Speaker 4: He's averaging kind of a career low in terms of
24:47
Speaker 4: receptions per game. So I'm thinking Jettis needs to do
24:51
Speaker 4: the gritty in Ireland. Just make sure they get to
24:53
Speaker 4: see it up close and personal. And also, do you
24:55
Speaker 4: think someone's going to make the Aaron Gobra reference, like
25:00
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers get it.
25:01
Speaker 2: Speaking of a run over under two hundred and four
25:05
Speaker 2: passing yards for Rogers on the Emerald Isle, And I'm
25:08
Speaker 2: going more. And if you're thinking yay, it's because the Steelers. No,
25:11
Speaker 2: I think the Steelers is going to be trailing and
25:13
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is going to have to throw the ball,
25:16
Speaker 2: and he's gonna have to throw the ball early, which
25:18
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers traditionally does get rid of the ball quickly.
25:21
Speaker 2: And I think he's gonna have to against the blitz.
25:23
Speaker 2: But sometimes Brian Flores will elect to do the thing
25:26
Speaker 2: that you think he's not going to do. Ultimately, I
25:29
Speaker 2: think advantage Vikings either way. Next oneth Cynthia, more or
25:31
Speaker 2: less than seventy six receiving yards for the aforementioned justin Jefferson.
25:35
Speaker 4: Okay, so I said I'd like to touchdown, So we're
25:37
Speaker 4: good with that. The seventy six it's a little much.
25:39
Speaker 4: Oh no, less than that, just a little bit less.
25:42
Speaker 4: Seventy three is the projection. I told you Jordan Madison's back, TJ.
25:46
Speaker 4: Hopkinson's there. I already told you that I like Jordan Mason.
25:49
Speaker 4: At some point. That's a lot of mouths defeat. So
25:52
Speaker 4: I think about seventy three yards, so just a titch
25:54
Speaker 4: less Okay.
25:55
Speaker 2: I will go back to the Pittsburgh Steelers. DK metcalf
25:58
Speaker 2: at three and a half receptions, and again I'm saying more,
26:02
Speaker 2: not because it's good news. I think the Steelers will
26:04
Speaker 2: be trailing and this one get lore catches for DK
26:08
Speaker 2: late or perhaps in situations where the Vikings are backing up,
26:11
Speaker 2: willing to give up yards late just to get out
26:13
Speaker 2: of there and get on the plane and celebrate. On
26:15
Speaker 2: the way back to the United States. Let's go to
26:17
Speaker 2: the ground game for the guys in Purple. Jordan Mason
26:21
Speaker 2: had a great start for the Vikings this season. Eighty
26:24
Speaker 2: one or more rushing yards.
26:26
Speaker 3: We're gonna go already, I believe it. Say it's all
26:29
Speaker 3: about those miss tackles.
26:30
Speaker 4: Ninety fours has averaged from when he was starting for
26:33
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers when Christian McCaffrey was out.
26:35
Speaker 3: He had a great showing last week.
26:38
Speaker 4: That game was a little wonky with all of those
26:40
Speaker 4: turnovers on defense and scoring on defense.
26:42
Speaker 3: And he still had two trips to the end zone.
26:44
Speaker 4: So I'm not worried about the yards topping eighty one
26:47
Speaker 4: and a half in this one.
26:48
Speaker 2: More Yeah, career highs for Jrdon Mason. The problem is
26:52
Speaker 2: Isaiah Rodgers ate up all the yards that the Vikings
26:55
Speaker 2: could have potentially gotten. And so yeah, it was the
26:59
Speaker 2: Jordan Mason game. It was probably one of the best
27:01
Speaker 2: games of his career. It grew high in touchdown as
27:04
Speaker 2: well as yards. I'll take the last one. Will Greg
27:08
Speaker 2: Rosenhal have more or less than three and a half
27:10
Speaker 2: pints of guinness during his trip to Ireland? And I'm
27:13
Speaker 2: actually gonna know if less here Greg not noted for
27:17
Speaker 2: you know, consuming a lot of particular substances. But if
27:21
Speaker 2: we're gonna ask, will people raise pints of Guinness in
27:24
Speaker 2: honor of Greg Rosenthal, I'm gonna go way way up.
27:29
Speaker 4: And I was thinking about this a little bit, and
27:30
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna try to split the G because
27:33
Speaker 4: when you have that many g's in your name, and
27:35
Speaker 4: splitting the G is so popular, it's harder to do
27:38
Speaker 4: than you might think. So I think he's gonna have
27:40
Speaker 4: to do more just by virtue of trying to split
27:42
Speaker 4: that darn G right on.
27:44
Speaker 2: The glass like r egg after the big time for gs.
27:48
Speaker 2: Just a reminder, you can catch the game Sunday nine
27:50
Speaker 2: thirty am Eastern on an NFL network and NFL Plus.
27:53
Speaker 2: Check out the rest of the upcoming international slate as
27:56
Speaker 2: we get a chance to see these vikings internationally once
28:00
Speaker 2: again at Tottenham Hotspur, the Broncos and the Jets coming
28:04
Speaker 2: up on October twelfth, the Commanders and the Fins, the
28:07
Speaker 2: Falcons and the Colts, and we get to see the
28:09
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars at Wimbley again as they will be the
28:13
Speaker 2: home team against the Los Angeles ring golf, takes turns,
28:19
Speaker 2: gives to Montgomery two hands on that football. There he
28:21
Speaker 2: goes over the right time twenty five, twenty cut to.
28:23
Speaker 5: The right, fififteen down to the tent, down to the
28:25
Speaker 5: time to the end zone, touch down. Detroit Lions demo
28:29
Speaker 5: to the house thirty one yards and the Lions have.
28:32
Speaker 2: Put this game on ice. What a night for the
28:36
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions.
28:37
Speaker 5: What a statement by this football team.
28:40
Speaker 2: Browns and the Lions Detroit put the league on notice
28:43
Speaker 2: Monday night in Baltimore, while the Brownies shocked the world
28:46
Speaker 2: last week. How do you feel about this matchup for
28:49
Speaker 2: your Lions.
28:50
Speaker 3: I still have a little tear in my eye. I
28:52
Speaker 3: was tearing up watching that last one. I have a
28:54
Speaker 3: ten point wind mark. I'm sorry, it's been twenty years.
28:58
Speaker 3: That's a long time.
28:58
Speaker 4: In nineteen seventy seven the last time they won in Baltimore. Anyway,
29:01
Speaker 4: I have a ten point win twenty six to sixteen
29:03
Speaker 4: in this.
29:04
Speaker 3: Matchup in favor of the lines.
29:06
Speaker 4: The quote from Johnny Morton is quote, I don't think
29:09
Speaker 4: they've seen a run game like hours yet. And while
29:11
Speaker 4: that might be true, I don't necessarily think if you're
29:13
Speaker 4: a fantasy manager, that you want to expect this kind
29:16
Speaker 4: of rushing from David Montgomery. I do think it matters,
29:19
Speaker 4: but I don't think he's going to have this crazy.
29:21
Speaker 3: Type of situation. This is a Browns defense that.
29:24
Speaker 4: Allows fifty seven rushing years per game. That's the best
29:26
Speaker 4: in the league. There's so they haven't allowed one rush
29:29
Speaker 4: over twelve yards yet, that's pretty crazy. And nine first
29:32
Speaker 4: downs in the run game fewest in the NFL. So
29:34
Speaker 4: if you're looking at the opportunity here for fantasy managers,
29:37
Speaker 4: perhaps what you're going.
29:38
Speaker 3: To look at is maybe a tight end or perhaps
29:40
Speaker 3: a pass catcher.
29:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, the opportunity going up against this Browns defense is very,
29:46
Speaker 2: very limited. I would expect that they will have another
29:49
Speaker 2: solid performance. But Jared Goff already played against a very
29:52
Speaker 2: good Packers defense. He completed a ton of passes thirty
29:55
Speaker 2: one to thirty seven. I know the Lions didn't win
29:57
Speaker 2: that game, but but not just celebrate Jared Goff for yeah,
30:00
Speaker 2: I guess man. This season, he's completed nineteen of twenty
30:03
Speaker 2: three pass is for one hundred and sixty eight yards
30:06
Speaker 2: and three touchdowns. His completion percentage over expected is twenty
30:10
Speaker 2: one percent. And there are those out there who would
30:12
Speaker 2: malign JG. Not not on this show. We respect to JG.
30:17
Speaker 4: Do you know that all of the colleges in Michigan
30:19
Speaker 4: they do a Jared Goff chant, like even the directional
30:21
Speaker 4: colleges in Michigan and Michigan State, but like Western Michigan
30:24
Speaker 4: East Jared Goff.
30:27
Speaker 2: I mean you have to. I'm glad. I'm glad they're
30:30
Speaker 2: showing up.
30:31
Speaker 3: The Westerns are the best Midwest.
30:33
Speaker 2: Lionsen in two and one. One team that's ahead of
30:36
Speaker 2: them in the NFC standings, the undefeated forty nine Ers.
30:40
Speaker 2: So be a thirty five yard try for Pinero. It's now, the.
30:45
Speaker 5: Kick is on the way and is done, Enny Pinner,
30:51
Speaker 5: what's it for the forty nine ers? What a game
30:56
Speaker 5: under the circumstances, Kyle Shanahan in this mass unit of
31:01
Speaker 5: players with all the injuries, and you could say it
31:04
Speaker 5: on both sides of the ball, My god, is that inspiring?
31:09
Speaker 2: Still yet to figure out why and if Panniero hates
31:11
Speaker 2: Seris on the Cardinals, the Jags and the forty nine
31:14
Speaker 2: ers in Sanni, he was very adamant after that game
31:17
Speaker 2: winning field goal, there's a chance Brock Purdy plays. He
31:20
Speaker 2: smiled and said we'll see. When asked how his toe felt,
31:24
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan says, if he progresses, then he could be
31:28
Speaker 2: able to play.
31:28
Speaker 3: If he progresses, then he could.
31:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see. There's a lot of caveats there.
31:32
Speaker 2: Greg is taking the folks out of Duval and I
31:35
Speaker 2: agree with him, although it is dependent on whether or
31:37
Speaker 2: not Rock Party plays, which is something we won't know
31:40
Speaker 2: until the game starts. I got twenty two twenty one
31:43
Speaker 2: Jags on the virtue of a very very good defense
31:46
Speaker 2: led by a very very good player in Josh heinz Allen,
31:49
Speaker 2: six and a half pressures a game and Jags wins
31:52
Speaker 2: this season. He had the game winning play last week
31:54
Speaker 2: against the Texans, getting the CJ. Stroud right as the
31:57
Speaker 2: ball was released. He's got nine quick pressures for the
32:01
Speaker 2: against the quarterback already the season, well ahead of the
32:03
Speaker 2: pace that he was on in his last Pro Bowl
32:06
Speaker 2: season of twenty twenty three. Again, a lot depends on
32:09
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers circumstances that we will get no
32:12
Speaker 2: actual advance notice on what will actually happen. But as
32:15
Speaker 2: of right now, I'm taking the Jacksonville.
32:17
Speaker 4: Jaguar check back ninety minutes before the game, and then
32:20
Speaker 4: we'll know a little bit more. I don't care, though
32:22
Speaker 4: I know Nick bos is not there, I know everyone
32:25
Speaker 4: is potentially not playing for the Niners. I still have
32:27
Speaker 4: them winning twenty three to twenty one.
32:30
Speaker 3: You're giving me another undefeated team that's a president. Seems
32:33
Speaker 3: smart whatever.
32:35
Speaker 4: I'm taking them because of Christian McCaffrey, who is there
32:37
Speaker 4: and isn't on the injury report.
32:39
Speaker 3: This is good news when you're looking at McCaffrey.
32:41
Speaker 4: It's so wild to think that the Niners are the
32:44
Speaker 4: only team in the NFL without a rushing touchdown yet
32:47
Speaker 4: wild right, Yeah, it's curty, but it's because he's doing
32:49
Speaker 4: all this damage in the pass catching game.
32:51
Speaker 3: I don't care if it's Mac Jones. I don't care
32:52
Speaker 3: if it's brock Purty.
32:53
Speaker 4: In fact, it would be a little poetic if it
32:55
Speaker 4: were Mac Jones, who could go against his former team
32:57
Speaker 4: and have Christian McCaffery dash their hearts.
33:00
Speaker 3: Out right at the end.
33:01
Speaker 4: I like the drama, but when I'm looking at the
33:03
Speaker 4: most realized able player on this offense, he has consistently
33:06
Speaker 4: been there and been open in space. Not sure why
33:09
Speaker 4: that's happening, but doesn't even matter because Christian McCaffrey is
33:12
Speaker 4: a difference maker in this one for me.
33:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, eleven targets for the running back, got a lot
33:16
Speaker 2: of action through the airline.
33:17
Speaker 3: Is he a running back?
33:19
Speaker 4: Was to call him like a Swiss army knife like
33:21
Speaker 4: we have like silly, silly, like he's a running back
33:24
Speaker 4: slash wide receiver, not the other way around.
33:27
Speaker 2: All the different facets on this multi tool that is
33:30
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey. Still to come. We got two big matchups
33:33
Speaker 2: of winless teams Titans Texans and Jets Dolphins. Somebody's gotta win.
33:40
Speaker 2: Maybe who's getting the first dub of the season and
33:44
Speaker 2: perhaps turning their season around. To borrow some phrases from
33:47
Speaker 2: Kyle Standinghan, our answer is coming up next with the

34:18
Speaker 2: Terms and conditions apply. Let's thinking about playing football. Somebody wins,
34:23
Speaker 2: somebody loses. These teams have lost every game the Dolphins, Jets, Texans, Titans, Giants,
34:28
Speaker 2: and Saints. But there is good news. Some of them
34:32
Speaker 2: play each other. We'll start with the winless Jets and
34:34
Speaker 2: Dolphins on Monday night. For more on this game, let's
34:38
Speaker 2: send it out to Gangreen's number one fan, Greg Rosenthal
34:41
Speaker 2: in Ireland.
34:44
Speaker 6: Okay, So everywhere I go in Dublin, people are coming
34:47
Speaker 6: up to me in the airports, on the streets, gregor,
34:50
Speaker 6: are you gonna do it? Are you gonna pick the
34:52
Speaker 6: Jets four straight weeks even though it's completely ruining your
34:56
Speaker 6: pick season? I am gonna do it. This Dolphins team
35:00
Speaker 6: doesn't have nearly as much fight as the Jets. And
35:03
Speaker 6: to paraphrase Bill Parcells in the locker room after winning
35:07
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl, they can never tell me that you
35:10
Speaker 6: couldn't do it, man, because you did it. You picked
35:12
Speaker 6: the Jets four straight weeks, and this time they're coming through.
35:16
Speaker 2: It's honorable for Greg to continue to pick the Jets.
35:19
Speaker 2: Are you going to join them and pick the Jets
35:21
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five to win their first game?
35:23
Speaker 4: Well, they've been leading with two minutes left in two games,
35:27
Speaker 4: So yes, I'm gonna do it. I have twenty four,
35:29
Speaker 4: two twenty three in this matchup. Can we talk about
35:32
Speaker 4: how Garrett Wilson isn't really being talked about enough.
35:35
Speaker 3: I know the Jets aren't.
35:36
Speaker 4: Necessarily lighting it up in terms of passing yards per game,
35:39
Speaker 4: but Garrett Wilson is top ten in the NFL amongst
35:41
Speaker 4: wide receivers and receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns, So
35:45
Speaker 4: pretty darn good receiver despite having two different quarterbacks. And
35:49
Speaker 4: this is going to be an interesting situation because we've
35:52
Speaker 4: seen the Dolphins secondary give up quite a few yards,
35:56
Speaker 4: quite a few receptions, and quite a few touchdowns.
35:59
Speaker 3: So I think it's gonna be a big Garrett wilsoning.
36:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of attention going to the Dolphins problems
36:03
Speaker 2: on offen but the problems on defense. And there's things
36:07
Speaker 2: floating around on the internet for years talking about the
36:10
Speaker 2: definition of insanity being trying the same thing over. That's
36:13
Speaker 2: not true. They intrude it to Albert Einstein just because
36:15
Speaker 2: it's Albert Einstein, so south starts. He never said that.
36:18
Speaker 2: It's not the definition of anything.
36:20
Speaker 4: You've been lied to for so many years.
36:22
Speaker 2: And I am going to pick the Dolphins because I too.
36:24
Speaker 2: Am trying something that I've tried over and over again,
36:27
Speaker 2: and I will take the stray bonn here and I'm
36:29
Speaker 2: taking it because it's been a nice start to the
36:31
Speaker 2: season for Jalen Waddell. He's gotten back in the end
36:34
Speaker 2: zone a couple of times, and he's caught all but
36:37
Speaker 2: three of his targets this year for one hundred and
36:39
Speaker 2: thirty seven yards. It's been shaky for the Jets in
36:43
Speaker 2: coverage at times. And so yeah, again, Albert Einstein never
36:48
Speaker 2: said that. Just like a lot of things on the
36:50
Speaker 2: Internet that people say, Albert Einstein said, well, yeah, I
36:54
Speaker 2: am taking the Miami.
36:55
Speaker 3: You extremely lied to you right now.
36:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens, rrect a very solid chance. I regret
37:00
Speaker 2: that decision, but I think the Fins win. I could
37:03
Speaker 2: probably use some help. So it's time for the read
37:05
Speaker 2: presented by Microsoft co Pilot. Co Pilot, your AI companion
37:09
Speaker 2: for NFL Game Day and every day Big AFC South matchup. Sonight,
37:14
Speaker 2: we ask Copilot one of the key storylines to watch
37:16
Speaker 2: in Titans Texans, As co Pilot notes, it's the battle
37:19
Speaker 2: of the winless teams. Both teams zero to three quarterback
37:22
Speaker 2: pressure of problem for both cam Ward and CJ strout
37:25
Speaker 2: the teams having trouble on offense, and co pilot noting
37:29
Speaker 2: that the Titans gave up play calling duty, the head
37:32
Speaker 2: coach gave up play calling duty, and now Bo Hart
37:34
Speaker 2: agree is calling plays this week.
37:38
Speaker 3: I wonder who co pilot would pick.
37:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta ask. We'll figure it out. What copilot
37:43
Speaker 2: says here will break down one more, both squads looking
37:46
Speaker 2: for their first wins of the season. Who finally breaks
37:48
Speaker 2: through here, Cynthia.
37:49
Speaker 4: Well, the Houston Texans at twenty four to sixteen.
37:52
Speaker 3: Is what my model says.
37:54
Speaker 4: Why, Well, I'm looking at cam Ward and look, I'm
37:57
Speaker 4: going to say that cam Ward has.
37:59
Speaker 3: Had a rough start. It's not necessarily his fault.
38:01
Speaker 5: Though.
38:02
Speaker 4: He's been sacked fifteen freaking times, which is third most
38:05
Speaker 4: in the modern quarterback era. Like only two guys have
38:08
Speaker 4: been sacked more often. So I'm looking at the strength
38:11
Speaker 4: of the Texans defense and what is it. It is pressure,
38:14
Speaker 4: It is getting to the quarterback and affecting him. But
38:16
Speaker 4: I want to give a little bit. I want to
38:18
Speaker 4: stick up for my gag, cam Ward because some coaches
38:21
Speaker 4: and some people believe that taking sacks is something that
38:24
Speaker 4: you can't train a guy to not do, and I'm
38:26
Speaker 4: arguing I went back and watched all fifteen of those
38:28
Speaker 4: sacks that it is not actually his fault on all
38:32
Speaker 4: of them. So the numbers should really the ones that
38:34
Speaker 4: are on him are more like seven or eight, not
38:36
Speaker 4: necessarily fifteen, which is wild. So I'm defending my guy,
38:39
Speaker 4: even though I'm picking against his team.
38:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, context matters for Sas for those who are purely
38:44
Speaker 2: in the box score, it's you know, ball Noor's like
38:47
Speaker 2: Cynthia Frieland will delve into more of that. I am
38:49
Speaker 2: also taking the Houston Texans twenty one to eighteen, and
38:52
Speaker 2: if the Texans have an offense at all, it goes
38:55
Speaker 2: through Nico Collins. He has over thirty percent of the
38:57
Speaker 2: Texans total receiving yards this season, and teams are doing
39:01
Speaker 2: what they can to try to disrupt them. At the
39:02
Speaker 2: line of Scrimagy's facing press the line at one of
39:05
Speaker 2: the highest rates in the league. They'll go up against
39:08
Speaker 2: Lagerius Snead here. Again, the Texans defense does have the edge,
39:12
Speaker 2: So I as well as Cynthia and Greg are all
39:15
Speaker 2: aboard time for write this down, which is something that
39:19
Speaker 2: you do and not necessarily that we do. Because Cynthia
39:22
Speaker 2: and I don't have a writing intensal at the moment.
39:24
Speaker 2: Let's get the prop predictions for a week four. Why
39:26
Speaker 2: don't that lead off something?
39:27
Speaker 3: Okay?
39:27
Speaker 4: So I have a little theme going here, okay, and
39:30
Speaker 4: my first one is Ashton Genty to rush for more
39:33
Speaker 4: than sixty five and a half yards.
39:34
Speaker 3: Against the Bears. It isn't a great situation.
39:38
Speaker 4: When your O line is holding you back the way
39:41
Speaker 4: that he's been held back. However, the opportunity against the
39:45
Speaker 4: Bears is the best he's had so far.
39:47
Speaker 3: Chip Kelly knows it.
39:48
Speaker 4: We see some of these explosive runs. They will happen
39:52
Speaker 4: in this matchup, and I think this is where Ashton
39:53
Speaker 4: Genty surpasses that number.
39:55
Speaker 2: It'll be great for the rookie, great for Raiders fans,
39:57
Speaker 2: and of course fantasy managers who have been waiting for
40:01
Speaker 2: Ashton gent to get an opportunity to get in the
40:02
Speaker 2: ball some space. I will take Romeo Dobbs to go
40:06
Speaker 2: over forty two and a half receiving yards against the
40:09
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys because the Cowboys have played a few games.
40:11
Speaker 2: They played three games and see four players have over
40:15
Speaker 2: forty two receiving yards on one play. Against the Dallas Cowboys.
40:19
Speaker 2: I think that the packer that over the years has
40:22
Speaker 2: the most targets, the most red zone targets, gets the
40:24
Speaker 2: most opportunities, gets there on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys.
40:29
Speaker 3: My second one also a rookie, that's me. Oh and
40:31
Speaker 3: it's a worrying him to just score a touchdown.
40:33
Speaker 4: Just kidding, but ask you to write that one down
40:35
Speaker 4: to it's Travon Henderson to rush for more than forty
40:37
Speaker 4: five and a half yards against the Panthers.
40:40
Speaker 2: Yep.
40:40
Speaker 4: The Panthers defense was out of this world against the Falcons,
40:43
Speaker 4: but for two games prior to that, they were very
40:46
Speaker 4: vulnerable to the run, even with Derek Brown back.
40:48
Speaker 3: So looking at the opportunity here.
40:50
Speaker 4: I know there were tons of turnovers, there's tons of penalties.
40:53
Speaker 4: Do you know what way is a surefire tud and
40:55
Speaker 4: tryway to tried and true way to get that turnover
40:58
Speaker 4: number down?
40:59
Speaker 3: Run the football with Trevan Henderson.
41:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, and running the football with not Travyon him and
41:04
Speaker 2: there's some kinving fumbles is probably what gets Trayvon Henderson
41:07
Speaker 2: a more opportunity This week. I'll take another running back
41:09
Speaker 2: and decidedly not a rookie as Alva Kamara been doing
41:12
Speaker 2: it for a very long time at a very high level.
41:15
Speaker 2: I think he gets over forty nine yards against the
41:17
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills because he's on the field like at a
41:20
Speaker 2: top ten rate. Right now, he's playing over eighty percent
41:23
Speaker 2: of the snaps for the Saints. I do think the
41:25
Speaker 2: Saints will be playing from behind, but there's something about
41:28
Speaker 2: that number that makes me believe.
41:30
Speaker 4: You know what happened last time he faced a bottom
41:32
Speaker 4: run defense?
41:33
Speaker 3: What one hundred and fifty five yards?
41:35
Speaker 4: It was the last season feilve yards one hundred and
41:36
Speaker 4: fifty five, So it's like one hundred more than you need.
41:38
Speaker 2: I'm thinking back to that moment where al Kamara could
41:41
Speaker 2: have had the single game record from touchdowns, but Sean
41:43
Speaker 2: Payton gave the ball to Taysom Hill instead. Enjoying the
41:46
