  Speaker 1: NFL Game View is a production of the NFL in

  Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Game Review for about Mercedes Benz, Patrick Claybund back here
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: with my dear friends Greg Rosenthal and Cynthia Freeland, who
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: it's very difficult to kind of get differences in picking
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: once the season goes on, because we learn more, we're
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: starting to make the same picks. But we've still managed
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: to differ just a little bit.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Greg, I mean we tried to the last couple of weeks.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: I had a perfect week two weeks ago. Let's put
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: up the standings for last week. Is that what you're
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: trying to set me up for?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: No, I just wanted you to say that you guys
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: are my friends and we occasionally have So here's here's
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: what goes on. Greg has a one game lead now
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: on Cynthia, who has a three game lead over me,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and we're battling back and front.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I think the important part is all of us have
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: great records over the last two weeks.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: How about that?
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, we'll give you a diplomatic thing to say.
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: For a guy who was literally being chased by security
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: through the halls of NFL Network had to say.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Let's cut that out.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Oh so, Cowboys Niners a classic rivalry, much like the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: rivalries on this show. Lately, San Franz has gotten the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: best of Dallas. They've won the past three matchups, including
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: last year when they dismantled the Cowboys forty two to ten.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: In Week ten, George Kettle had himself a day, grabbing
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: three receptions for three touchdowns the Randy malstat line against
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys. Teams meet up again Sunday night in Santa Clara.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: The forty nine Ers lost Brandon Ayuka last week to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: a torn acl Deebo Samuel statuses in the air.
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: Did the Cowboys get it done coming off the bi Greg.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: I do not think so.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: You want to buy week to restart your program, but
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I think the forty nine Ers win this game twenty
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: six to twenty. It's a familiar matchup because of the
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: coaching situation in Dallas. Mike McCarthy had to be asked
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: during the week in a public press conference, Hey, what
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: do you think about your boss saying that you designed
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: bad plays and that you have a bad scheme.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: I have never heard that from an owner.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: During the middle of the season, it started making me wonder,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: like if they don't win this game. With all the
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: bad memories that they've had against the forty nine ers,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: they had the playoff loss, they had the blowout loss
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you mentioned last year. Patrick, I worry about what's going
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: on here. They're not getting healthy on defense, the offense
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: is stagnant. I think the forty nine ers still have
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: enough talent and certainly enough scheme. I think they can
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: overcome their injuries on offense with a week to prepare
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: against this Cowboys defense, which has really been struggling.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: You have six points, I have seven points.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: I have twenty eight to twenty one, a few more
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: overall points projected for me as opposed to you from
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: Greg in this matchup. Why Well, I'm looking at this
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: Cowboys defense, and I'm looking at their ability to give
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: up Yak in.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: The passing game.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: They're just allowing guys to have tons of yards after
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: the catch. This has been an interesting stat about brock
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Perty this year. He actually ranks last in terms of
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: the yardage coming the percentage of his yardage coming from Yak.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: Where's for the past eight seasons that was a San
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Francisco thing. So I think that trend reverses in this matchup.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: And start to see that catch and run thing that
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: we're totally used to from this offense come back big time?
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: George Kittle? Sure?
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Deebo Samuel Sure?
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Everyone?
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: The answer is yes, anyone that's playing, They're gonna have
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: a good yacht day.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: I believe that they will have a good yack day.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I don't necessarily see the high scores that you guys do.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I have a lower scoring game, a slower pace game
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: because the Dallas Cowboys still.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: Cannot stop the run. Greg mentioned the bye week.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: They had an entire offseason to figure out how to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: approach the opposition running the ball.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: Here's what they've done.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: They are dead last and rushing efficiency, dead last against
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: under center runs, and dead last thirty two in three
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: categories in design runs. Jordan Mason second in the league
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: in yards and carries. Again, if they couldn't do it
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in an entire offseason, I don't know what the bye
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: week is going to do. We are all aboard on
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the forty nine ers against the Dallas Cowboys. Nemaus get
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: us Cowboys.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: There are no Cowboys fans left anymore, so they can't
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: meme us.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Both considered Super Bowl contenders coming into the season as
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: where the Bill who made a new acquisition last week
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: who had an.
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: Immediate impact not pictured in there was a celebration. Ever,
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: I going to hug Mark Cooper.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Him like feeling uncomfortable at all the love coming from
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: his teammates. The Bills are the Seahawks at Luomenfield, Josh
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Allen against Gino Smith Seattle coming off a big win
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: Do they keep that going at home?
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: Cynthia, I think they keep it closer, But I still
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: have Buffalo winning this matchup twenty five to twenty three.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: When I'm looking at Josh Allen this season and what
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: he's been doing, let's just say the number two hundred.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: And eighty six.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: That's how many consecutive passes that Josh Allen has thrown
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: without that other thing that happens. I know sometimes Buffalo people,
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: we are Midwesterners.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: I'm a Midwesterner. They're Midwesterners.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: There.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: That's the highest compliment I can give you. You can't
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: jinx it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: So that thing that's the opposite of completing a pass
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: but not incomplete anyways, that hasn't happened. It is the
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: longest current streak in football. It is the longest streak
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: in Bill's history.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: That has been a.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Huge reason why this team is so great. And the
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: quick passes that is where they've really gotten things going,
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: especially on first and second day. That's going to continue
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: because that is a one way to really target the
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Seattle defense.
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't want to do that thing that hasn't happened.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: To quote my dad, that thing.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: There's three things that can happen when you throw the ball,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and two of them are bad, and one of those
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: is the thing that Cynthia is talking about that.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: We're not talking about.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I also have a close Bills win twenty six to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: twenty five because of Josh Allen. The Falcons offense was
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: an issue for the Seahawks in the run game, but
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: in the passing game they were kind of limited because
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins isn't necessarily the most mobile.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: So you go from defending Kirk Cousins to.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Having to deal with this guy out on the edge
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: where he's number two in the league in passing yardage
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: on the run that's running at over eight miles an
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: hour and throwing the ball. He's also in the top
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: ten in terms of scramble yards. I think that's tougher
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: for Seattle. So I've got a Bills win here.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Great, man, this is messed up because the Seahawks were
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: three point underdogs last week.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: I picked them. I got it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I know that's how you got up on them.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I just figured one of you guys would take him. Here,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: we have the same type of score, thread in the needle,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: A close Bills win twenty nine to twenty seven. Yeah,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: because it's like, kill your darlings. I love both these teams.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I picked the Bills to win the super Bowl this year.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: It's partly because of the pass rush. So let's look
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: at what Greg Russo and Ed Oliver and this whole
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: group as a team is doing. They have a team passer.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: What we all have two point scores.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I just thought that you were gonna like third person.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Let's look at what Greg has said about Yeah, I'm not.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: If I win the picks competition for a third straight year,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I might start going third person all the time.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: But for now, I want to talk.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: About this defense because I do think against the Seattle
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: offensive line, that's the difference. It shows that we don't
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: feel that strong because we have the Seahawks covering all
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: three of us the three point spread, and yet we
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: don't have them winning.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I think the biggest factor there is DK Metcalf's health,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and yes, and if that was the other way, I
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: would have been comfortable same picking the Seattle Seahawks instead
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Seattle Meme Away.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: Moving to the Eagles, they've been able to win two straight.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Last week, Sinquan got some sweet revenge against his old team.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: He's done it again. The Eagles and Bengals.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Once upon a time long ago, Burrow and LSU bested
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Hurts and Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl. They haven't met
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: in the professional ranks yet, so this is their first
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: time since.
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: He's won three of their last four games. Who's winning
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: this one.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: Cynthia, You know, I was a little surprised when I
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: saw the outcome of my model in this one. But
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: I have the Eagles just the one point win, twenty
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: four to twenty three, in part.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Because of that guy who we just saw. Do I
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: think it's going to be one hundred and seventy six
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: yards and a bajillion touchdowns in this game? I mean,
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: it could very well be.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: However, I think it's more about the consistency on early
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: downs so that Jalen Hurts has a chance to really
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: do the thing that he does best, which is figure
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: out all the different pass catching options that he has
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: on every single down.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: I know that Trey Hendrickson is there. I know there
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: are some o line questions in terms of health.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: However, Saquon running to the other side gives a lot
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: of help to Jalen Hurts and the offense. So for me,
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: it's the run game, in the stability in the run
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: game that tips the scales in the favor of the Eagles.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: And we have a similar difference in terms of one
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: point and a similar win in the Philadelphia Eagles. And
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: it's side a similar reason because the Bengals run defense,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: while it has improved over the last few weeks, during
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: this run not enough. I got the Eagles twenty one
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to twenty because I went to see just how much
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the Bengals run defense had improved over the past few weeks, considering.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: The fact that Saquan is coming to town.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: So weeks one through four they were dead last in
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: rush defense success rate, and since then they've climbed all
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the way up to still being in the bottom ten.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: They've gone from the opponent being.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Successful forty nine percent of the time to forty six
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: percent of the time. I don't think that's enough against
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Saquon and company.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Correct, I love me some home favorite, Just Greg, let's go.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: It has been a couple weeks actually since I had
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: to do it, Just Greg, But I have the Bengals
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: winning this game. I have them covering this game twenty
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: four to twenty. I'm not feeling comfortable about Jalen Hurts
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: in this Eagles offense right now because Jalen Hurts isn't
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: feeling comfortable. I know they won twenty eight to three,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: but Fred Johnson, who's out there playing left tackle, is
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: not starter level at the NFL level. This is a
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: good Bengals pass rush. Even when Jalen Hurts has been
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: protect lately. He's just kind of sitting there and waiting
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: and you said, like trying to make a decision, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: then he throws it to AJ Brown and that works
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: pretty well.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: AJ Brown is just amazing.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: But I look at these two teams and I thought
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the pointspread was going to be higher in this game
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: because I just think the Bengals are a better team
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: right now than the Philadelphia Eagles, So I like them
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: to win and maybe even buy more than four points.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: We'll see. All right, let's go from there.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: This guy or that guy Cynthia, which star more likely
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: to have over seventy four receiving yards in this game?
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: Is it aj Brown or is it Jamar Chase?
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: It's both, but of the two, I think that Jamar
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Chase has more yards in general. While I'm looking at
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: this opportunity here against the defense, and yes the Eagles
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: they have upticked that sack number big time, I still
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: think that this is Jamar Chase's yack. I mean, he
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: said it himself this week. He's like, you know, he's
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: gonna let let all of his performance do the talking
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: for him for how valuable he is.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Right, he answered it. You should google it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: It's very funny, meaning pay the man, which is what
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: they absolutely should and will do. But in this case,
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: I think it's going to be around night yards. So
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: I have a lot more than seventy four.
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot of great receivers in this game. I
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: think they should pay Jamar Chase.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I think they should pay t Higgins because it's fun
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: to see these guys on the field. At the same time,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Bears are the commanders. Jayden Daniels has been dealing with
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a rib injury. If he can't go, Barcus Mariota gets
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the start. Who do you like in this potential battle
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: of top picks?
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Grew Well, I like them both, but I like what
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Caleb Williams is doing with the up tempo Bears passing attack.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I have the Bears winning this game twenty to seventeen.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I'm operating under the assumption Jaden Daniels isn't playing. I
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: would flip it if he is. But let's talk about
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: that up tempo game. Caleb Williams in the last couple
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: of weeks, including the game in London, was playing so
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: fast and this is the part of the game where
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: maybe a younger quarterback isn't having to think quite as much.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: You're dictating the matchups, and he's showing that he's very
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: good at the line of scrimmage, being able to figure
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: out and go fast, fast fast.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Our friend Steve Weisch on the NFL.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Daily podcast talk to someone within the organization and they said,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: it really took a few weeks to figure out what
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: he likes to do.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: And Caleb Williams, he likes to go fast.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: We know he's accurate I mean, just look at that
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: seamball there to Cole Comet, the weapons are all healthy
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: coming off of a bye week, So yes, if there's
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: no Jayden Daniels, I think it's a lower scoring game.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: And I like the Bears to win in that scenario.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: A similar situation where I agree, I appreciate Caleb's contributions. Again,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: a surgical magician literally doctor strange in that capacity, I've
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: got a Bears win as well by two points for me,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: mainly because of the Bears defense. I recognize Caleb's playing better,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: but considering what this defense has done, and I think
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: they'll be even healthier after the buy. Now, there was
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Nojakwan Brisker, Kyler Gordon as of Thursday, but rotational guys
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: like Jacob Martin and Zach Pickens full participants as well.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: The lowest opposing quarterback rating allowed in the league, whether
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it's Marcus or Jayden. I think the Bears defense makes
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: it tough and that gives me a confidence in a
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: two point edge.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Cynthia Well, I'd like to have a surgeon that's magical
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: as opposed to a magician that's a surgeon. Anyway, either way, here,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: I'm taking Washington here twenty four to twenty three. I
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: am operating under the assumption that we will see Jade
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: and Daniels. I do believe that I understand that this
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: is a rib injury, and I understand that's very painful.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: But I also know that he's got this one circled since,
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: like last.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: You know, the very minute you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: Walk down, like whenever we schedule released in.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: May, Revenge game not Revenge.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: But they doubted me.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: They doubted me. They thought I was number two. I
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: thought all the world one. I felt, oh no.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: But I do think that this is an important one
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: for him, probably emotionally. His coach has nothing but good
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: things to say about him. When I'm looking at his
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: ability to connect with Terry McLaurin specifically, I know you
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: talked about how great those offensive backs are for the Bears,
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: but you also talked about they're not practicing. They weren't
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: practicing this week for Kyler or Gordon, for Jakwan Brisker.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: So Jalen Johnson is just one man.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: He can't patrol the whole field. And I do understand that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: You know, the other guys have been great and stepped
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: up in replacement, but This is a prime number, baby,
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: and probably won't be by the time it starts, because
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: I imagine it's gonna change a Ruski it. But you know,
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: I think it's Washington unfortunately for Bears.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: All right, congratulations to the commanders. You get the first
• 13:06

• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Terms and conditions apply. Colts and the Texans top two
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: teams in the AFC South. When they met back in
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Week one. Houston won it by two, twenty nine to
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: twenty seven.
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: It feels like forever ago. What happens this.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: Time in Week A, Cynthia a Begger win for Houston
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: is what I have forecast twenty six to nineteen in
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: this matchup.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: I want to say something about how CJ. Stroud has
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: been playing.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: I did a lot of homework on Stroud specifically, and
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: he's kind of been like quarterbacking two point Oho.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: There's like three steps one. Step one, be really good.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: You don't necessarily need to be offensive rookie of the
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: year good, but you do need to be really good.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Step two.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: Then maybe what you're gonna do is you're gonna have
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: defenses try to really have things that they do against you.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: Specifically, we saw it last week with the Packers.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: They didn't even blitz it, but they brought the heat
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: with four or fewer pass rushers and that got to him.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: All right, now we learn something. Now it's c J.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: Stroud's turn to evolve into his next iteration of him.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: So all these bad things are seeing happen that is
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: not gonna be the case in this matchup.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I love that, and I love the Texans in general.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I didn't like seeing all that negative c J.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Stroud.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: You know tape, let's put something positive about the Texans.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: They win thirty three to nineteen, and it's partly because
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: c J. Stroud's gonna hand the ball off to Joe
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Mixon and the offensive line that's so bad at pass
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: protection doesn't have to worry about it as much.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: This is the biggest.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Boom or bust offense, and especially boom or bust running.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Game in the entire league.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: But when it's boom or bust, Patrick, what do you
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: think happens against the Colts defense.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's the boom, it's boom.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I mean Joe Mixon.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: He can have one, one, negative one and then he'll
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: have forty And I think that's what's gonna happen in
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: this game.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Three or four different times.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: They end up racking up big rushing yards with those
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: quick hitting runs where it really gets up the seam
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: and I'm going thirty three to seventeen.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: It's a get right game for the Texans offense.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: All it's unanimous. I've got the Houston Texans as well
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: in this game. A bounce back game, not just for CJ. Stroud,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: who had eighty six yards passing, but for Tank Dell
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: as well, because when I think about the Colts, I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: think about Gus Bradley's defense going out there and having
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: a similar type scheme and plan week after week after week,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and Cynthia outlined you got to be a little bit
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: different to get c J. Stroud off the edge and
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: back in week one, there was a lot of Tank
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Dell getting involved. He also had two carries in the
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: game seven targets. I know it's been a slow start,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: but I think without Nico Collins, this is the game
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: for TANKDLL to come out there and have a big
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: game against a division rival.
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: More to come here on game debut. Up next to another.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Big matchup for the top spot in a vision going
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: down in Tampa. Baker in the Bucks versus Kirko Chains again.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: They scored a billion points last time. Who's ready to
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: claim the South? Our answer right after this, Oh, that
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: was the most fun I've had on a Thursday night
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: since Baker Mayfield's epic win across the street at so
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Far Stadium a couple of years ago.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: That was a walk off win.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: In Week five for the Falcons against the Bucks. We
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: got a big rematch Sunday for first place in the South.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Tampa will not have Chris Godwin unfortunately, or Mike Evans
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: who gets it done here.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Cynthia Well, that shifted my score completely. I have at
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: Landa winning this one twenty three to twenty. It's not
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: great when you have to say, like these two guys
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: who are everything to your offense are gone. But on
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: the other side, you need to sit down for the
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: stat I know drew our producer really likes it too.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: Do you know that last week was the first time
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: in Bajon Robinson's career as a pro that he had
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: one hundred or more rushing yards and a rushing touchdown
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: in the same game that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: I had no idea.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: That's wild, Like, I don't that's that's how a good
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: mic drop thing.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Anyways, he had security should be going after Arthur Smith
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's ridiculous.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's a wild stat It's pretty incredible.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: But this is the difference maker in this game.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: I think both defenses have some big question marks, but
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: with all of those pieces missing on offense, the run
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: game and the stability the run game can give you
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: the ball control. It just means maybe he has another
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: one hundred yard and one rushing touchdown.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Wild that's the first one.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: It's something that we've been saying for most of this
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: season that this is not the traditional run.
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: Stopping Todd Bowles defense.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I have Atlanta winning this one mainly again, it's a
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: lot to overcome with the injuries, and the Falcons.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: Had that big win.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: With the entire facility available for Tampa Bay and now
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: they go back in and this offensive piece is just
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: hurt and including Darnell Mooney is back. Folks, you want
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: to talk about a stat line on Thursday Night football,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney had sixteen targets. He had nine catches. This season,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: he has thirty two catches. Eleven of them have been
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: on third down, third and Darnell is on the way
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: for Tampa.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Bayker, Okay, I think this is a tough one.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: I don't like when they play their whole season series
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: within just a couple of weeks and it's over this
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: the biggest game, and yet there's something about me. It's
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: just a hunch that the Bucks get this wrong. And
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: you might say you want more than a hunch, but
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: let's go just Greg Nation, My hunches have been like
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: one or two games better than these two over about
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: a two hundred and eighty games sample size. So this
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: is a pick against the Atlanta Falcons defense.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Let's go to that. Let's go to the tape for
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: some bad Falcons defense. They don't have anything.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the point, Like, it's not really much
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: of a difference that I get like one or two
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: games up on you guys, but I like to brag
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: about it. The numbers are ridiculous for how bad this
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: pass rush is dead last in the league in pressure rate,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: despite the fact that they blitz at the tenth highest
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: rate in the league. So they're sending extra guys and
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: they still get no pressures.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: You know how many sacks they have this season.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Six, that's like a light day's work for Aiden Hutchinson.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Give me a break with this pass rush. I think
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: the scheme for the Bucks is good. Baker Mayfield's up
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: and down. We're due for an up. Let's go Trey Palmer,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Let's go Bucks defense. And I just think it. They
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: don't deserve to win the division this early.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: The Falcons catch us stray. Why go to remind me
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: that A Hudginson isn't playing?
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Oh sorry, yeah, that was well. He he's the guy
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: with five or six sex in game.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Just me worked.
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we're gonna sort everything out here and make sure
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: everybody's okay.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: The team everyone looking up at.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Right now, the Chiefs, of course, Kansas City the only
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: remaining unbeaten. If you're wondering VIT's seeing Jack Jones going
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: to the end zone. This is the last time they
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: haven't lost a game since Christmas, and it was against
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: the Raiders back in December, Antonio Pierce's squad win an
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: arrowhead sucker punched. The Chiefs went in twenty to fourteen
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: to Spight am O'Connell throwing for sixty two yards. Since then,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: mahomes squad has won twelve straight games, including a game
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: where they hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. So that gets us
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: too quick picks here on game debut, A big rematch,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: well big for one day between the Raiders and the Chiefs.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: A and O'Connell out with a thumb injury, so incomes Gardner.
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: Will Gardner shock the world?
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Greg he will not.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Chiefs win this game twenty four to thirteen with their
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: new wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins getting it done for Patrick Mahomes.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's not a huge package of plays, although the
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: way he's been.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: In different offenses throughout his career.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I would expect he's out there thirty forty STAPs and
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: certainly in the red zone. Patrick Mahomes needs someone that
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: can catch a ball in tight windows where he knows
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: he can be accurate, and just his receiver is gonna
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: make a play. Justin Watson nice player, not that guy.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins definitely that guy. They get it done and
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: they remember that loss to the Raiders. They do not
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: want to let it happen again.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: So there it is Raiders fans, although maybe you feel
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: the same way we do it this point, the Packers
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: and Jags down in do ball.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: Green Bay has won three in a row. The Jags
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: to play back to back games in London. They flow back.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: They don't have no buy Cynthia. Can they overcome that?
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: No. I actually have a closer game than maybe you
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: might think. Twenty six to twenty two for Green Bay.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: I'm looking at Jordan Love and how well he does
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: when he doesn't get blitzed. I mean, the numbers are staggering,
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: like one hundred and fourteen passer rating, eleven touchdowns.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: He's right up the top of the league when nobody
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: blitzes him.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: And it's very unlikely that this team, because they're really
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: The strategy for the Jags has been to sort of
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: protect a lot of their secondary so you can't blitz.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: You can't leave them on that like less number situation
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: when you got all these.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Different pass catchers.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: So they're likely to not blitz a lot in this one,
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: which means we're gonna get good Jordan Love not interception.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Jordan Love. Packers win all.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Right, Gregson got the score getting really SOLDI he's thirty
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: seven to seventeen. They're the passers at the Broncos at
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: mile high. Bryce Young starting for Carolina. A rough one
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: as the youngster has to go against the number one
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: passing efficiency defense in the league. That's why I've got
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the Broncos here eighteen to ten. But let's talk about
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: that Denver Broncos offense, mainly Javonte Williams, who didn't get
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: to finish an incredible performance against the Saints because they
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: got the garbage time so early backups came in. So
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: here's another chance for the tackle breaking monster Javonte to
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: go up against a bad rushing defense in the NFC
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: South for him to try to feast upon them. Time
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: for us to seize the season presented by Caesars Sports Book.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: As we are looking at the Jets and the Patriots
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: first touchdown score odds, it's three gents at the top
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: breasts Davante and Garrett Wilson, followed by Ramandre Stevenson's not
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: getting a lot of carries in the red zone specifically,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: and then Antonio Gibson. So let's discuss this big in
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: some places. Matchup in Foxboro, Aaron Rodgers and the Jets
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: have lost four straight.
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: Do they turn it around? Cynthia?
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Is it a turnaround?
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: Do they beat the Patriots?
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: They beat the Patriots twenty five to seventeen. It's a
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: pretty big win by eight points. But I want to
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: talk about DeVante Adams because when you trade for someone
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: and you make this much noise about it, we absolutely
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: need to break down his first game and he lined
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: up in the slot on fifty what he played ninety
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: six percent of snaps, so I guess his hamstring's okay.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: And he lined up in the slot fifty one percent
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: of the time. That is actually the highest for him
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: since twenty sixteen. Back we were all just children and
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: he was playing in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers. What
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: happened there, Well, he didn't really make much noise on either.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: He did get a bunch of a decent amount of
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: targets in this game. However, I think that it takes
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: a minute for all the chemistry to come back. And
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: when you're looking at this defense, I'm sorry they're banged up.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: I don't think they're soft. I just think that they're
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: banged up.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes things take tom sometimes they take longer than
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: two and a half seconds, which is how long it's
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: taking Aaron Rodgers to get rid of the football, especially
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: when he plays the team with a decent pass rush.
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: He is not playing one. This week.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: The New England Patriots bottom ten in terms of pressure percentage.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: And you look back at these few games, look at
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: the pocket for Trevor Lawrence to throw this deep ball
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: to BTJ and Christian Zalis played a solid game, but
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: it's hard to cover. Quarterbacks are able to just stand
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: back there and throw the ball like this, and imagine
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers doing that. I don't have a big Jets
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: win because I don't necessarily trust the Jets or think
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: they're a very good football team eighteen seventeen, but I
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: do think if you can't rush Aaron Rodgers, then it's
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: going to be hard to beat Aaron Roch.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Okay, so we seventeen's hilarious.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: We do have a memeller.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: It feels like eighteen seventeen, that's the last time the
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Patriots were good. But I have the Patriots covering, so
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: you got that go And for you Patriots. Two of
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: the three of us have you covering it's twenty four
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: to twenty. Let's just talk about Drake May because I've
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: heard talk in New England like, yeah, Drake May's playing well,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: but everything else is a disaster.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Don't lose the forest for the trees.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Like this organization, the defense, the head coach, everything's disorganized.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: None of it matters.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Drake May is the only thing that matters about this
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: entire organization. This season is a full on success. If
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Drake May is a real dude. I think he's a
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: real dude. Through two games, he is looking like a
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: real dude. Whether the coaches last or the teammates last,
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter because finding a franchise quarterback is the
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: only thing that matters.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Drake May. I love you.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: I would like to put up a little meter of
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: how many times do you sort of accidentally throw shade
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: at me as a Lions fan who actually hasn't had
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: a team that's been good in a long time. Eighteen
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: seventy you're a Patriots fan. Okay, you got like all
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: these rings on your finger from whatever that is?
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Two for you, sir.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: They literally won the Super Bowl like six years ago.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: So that's a fair point.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so there it is. It's meme alert and
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Greg once again it gets to bemoan. Oh the troubles
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: that he has seen as a fan. Oh, I'm sorry
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: for the New England Patriots that sees the season. Presented

• 25:33
  Speaker 2: in Miami to take on the Dolphins to a tongue
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Valoa expected to play, and that's the main reason I
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: think he gets the Fins back on track with They
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: win it by one, twenty one to twenty just because
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: the offense looks so much different, guys, when it's to
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: a tongue of Valoa back there playing quarter. In fact,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: let's remind everybody just how quickly he gets the ball
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: into the hands of his playmakers. And yes, the reason
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: that I didn't necessarily believe the Chargers were going to
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: beat the Arizona Cardinals last year. Last week was because
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the Chargers don't make big plays. Well, I think Jalen Waddle,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Raheem Moster, Tyreek Hill. I know it hasn't been this year,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: but traditionally those are three guys that can make big
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: plays at Devon han In.
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: I think it's a Finns win break.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I have gone back and forth on this game more
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: than any game all season long, and yet somehow I
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: ended up on the Dolphins winning by ten points. I
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: just feel like it's like a blowout either way. I
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: think the Dolphins running game is why I kind of
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: believe in Tua's return, because everything else about the Dolphins
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: has been getting better. Let's to show the running game.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Please don't look at me anymore. You guys are laughing
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: that I made it a ten point win. Someone's gonna
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: win this game in a blowout. They just feel like
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: teams that are gonna collapse if they fall behind. But
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: this running game over the last two weeks has been awesome.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: The last couple weeks, over one hundred and seventy five
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: yards one ninety three against the Pats, one to eighty
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: eight against the Colts, and the Cardinals rush defense is
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: one of the worst in the league. So if the
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: running blocking is getting going, everyone's healthy. Raheem Moster is back,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Jalen Wrights playing great eight chan is there. I think
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: that supports to a tugbailoa where he doesn't need to
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: be the hero, and it's a great matchup against the Cardinals.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Well, you have a huge win for the Dolphins and
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: you have a very narrow win for the Dolphins. I
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: will be Goldilocks and go right in between. I have
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Miami winning twenty five to twenty one in this one,
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: and sneakily, this front for the Miami Dolphins has had
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: a lot of pressure. Now it hasn't always resulted in
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: a sack, but it's like almost forty four percent of
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: the time they're getting after the opposing quarterback. Kyler Murray
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: is a special type of different sort of dude back there.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: But I want to give this this defense a little
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: bit more credit. And I also want to talk about
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Chop Robinson. I love his name, and he has the
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: second highest pressure.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: Rate among rookie so that's fun.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: And when I'm looking at what could potentially happen in
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: this matchup, I do think like we have, potentially, at
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: least the season so far because of some other weird stuff,
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: we've forgotten that the defense has gotten significantly better.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: And they needed Chop Robinson to hit because he was
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: seen as that developmental guy where you come in and
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: work on things.
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: Well, he's getting product, so shout out to him.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: Maybe he's a surgical magician.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: He could be the best kind of magician.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Tyreek said earlier this week, with Tua back, it's Thomas,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: strike up the band, start him in fantasy. We've been waiting, Tyrek,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: So let's do some maths, Cynthia. Will the cheatah have
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: over eighty three receiving yards on Sunday?
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. I don't know what noise cheatahs make, but I
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: think it's like a lion. They'll were rorish cheatah kind
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: of like chirpish. Okay, well they'll chirp. The cheetah will chirp.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: But ultimately, here I looked to find something that I
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: could could kind of put my wrap my head around
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: about this defense, and there aren't a lot of defensive
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: backs who are doing things that would stop him.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: How about that, right, the yards after the catch.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: The speed, all of it, all the different locations that
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: his coach gets him in. This feels like a big
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: cheetah chirping game.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: So I was told by the producers I could chime
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: in here. I'm going to use this time to ask
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: for some fantasy help from the experts. It is my
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: two quarterbacks in this game, Tua and Kyler Murray. I've
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: been starting Kyler all year.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Who do you go with?
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: I would start Kyler for the rushing ups.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: I feel like, well, it's just the way that I guess.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: It would depend on how your scoring goes.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: But it is six points. Okay, we're getting too deep.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Kyler Kyler. We like them both, but we like them both.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: They're both startable.
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: Hey, joined me and Cynthia for NFL Fantasy lest coming
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: up on Monday.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: From this room.
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: Lamar and the Ravens looked amazing Monday night in Tampa.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Will they keep it rolling Sunday against Jameis Winston now
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: and the Browns or.
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: Should they be on upset alert? Find out what we
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: think after a quick break.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unless you've been I don't know if having a
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: good time during the fall of the past eight years,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson's arm does exist.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: The Ravens and Browns.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Jamis Winston starting for Cleveland with Deshaun Watson out for
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: the year. Baltimore won five straight of these matchups in
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: the division. Do they make it six, Cynthia, they do?
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: They make it six by seven points? Twenty six two
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: nineteen is what I have in this matchup. I just
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: want to take a moment for Lamar Jackson's arm. Just kidding,
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: I mean, I am actually talking about that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: But the play action.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: Passing has been a thing of beauty for him. And
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: I know when you look at the stats, you're like, wow,
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: you know the Browns defense is actually pretty good against
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: play action. Oh no, no, this is not Lamar Jackson
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: play action that they've faced to create those stats. So
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: this is probably the last week that you're'd be able
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: to get in on any good value for Lamar Jackson
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: to be the MVP, if you know what I'm saying,
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: and that knocking on what did happen? But if you
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: want to get the value, it's probably the last week
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: you'll be able to do that. A win seven points
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: a good Lamar Jackson game, especially on play action.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I love a good agreement between Cynthia and I. We
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: both have a seven point margin which means we have
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Jameis Winston and the Browns covering the spread baby steps
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: here that they keep it close.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: And it's because of Jameis Winston that I think it's
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: going to be close.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: He comes in last week and he executes what I
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: thought was the best offensive drive I really saw from
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: a Browns quarterback all season. Let's his playmakers like David
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: and Joku make a great touchdown and throw that was
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: not a throw Watson was even gonna make on time
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: to the outside there, getting Cedric Tillman involved, just ball
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: out of his hand quickly. We haven't seen a lot
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: of Jamis Winston, and we know that he's going to
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: be aggressive. You said your model indicates that that adds
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: some volatility. Might get really good, he might be really bad.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: At least it gives him a chance for a quarterback
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: that's really good, which they didn't have a chance for
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: for before.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: I miss Joe Flacco. I mean, I'm being a brown
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: that was really fun last year.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: I think Jameis Winston actually can do a pretty good
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: absolutely imitation of late career Joe Flack.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Abolutely yeah, we do think it's a better quarterback situation.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think that the Cleveland Browns are going
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: to win this game. I do have them scoring over
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: twenty points for the first time this season and getting
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: a twenty five to twenty one Baltimore Ravens win. The
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: reason I think they will score those points is because
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: we could celebrate hal great Lamar and the offense have
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: been Lamar's throwing for nine yards per attempt, But another
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: good quarterback this season has been the quarterback that's playing
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: They're giving up eight point three yards per attempt.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: The second most passing yards in the league, and dealing
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: with the other teams one is a huge issue.
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Of course, it's not my Kevin's or Jamar Chase or
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: DeVante Adams.
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: Those guys.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Jerry Judy, Yeah, but it is Jerry Judy, and we'll
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: see David and Joku.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Because we Marlin Humphrey injury status, they get Jalen Armor
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Davis perhaps back this week, Arthur Maulette back as well.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: But I'm gonna need to see it from the Ravens
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks where I have a dominant win.
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: Over any team in the NFL. We're not done going
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: international quite yet here as we celebrate this meeting live
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: for Munich.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: The Giants square off against the Panthers on NFL Network, Rive,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Shine and watch Sunday, November tenth at nine thirty am
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Eastern only on NFL Network and NFL Plus. Subscription required
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: for NFL Plus Premium.
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: Is to get to another round of quick picks.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Speaking of the g Man, they got the Steelers Monday night,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Russ was cooking against the Jets.
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: What happens here?
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Greg, I think the Steelers win this game.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: I think the Giants keep it closer than the points
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: spread would indicate. But it's partly because Russell Wilson got
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: so much credit last week for his wide receivers just
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: making out rageous plays.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: It was almost annoying because I'm a I like Justin Fields.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: I was surprised they made this move, and I do
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: think the offense maybe has a higher upside here if
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Russell Wilson keeps testing deep down the field in a
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: way and using play action like Justin Fields wasn't. But
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: let's be real, George Pickens making outrageous grabs. The tight
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: ends are making nice catches. Friarmuth had that one hander,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: it would be perfect.
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: If this is a nice ball.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Hearing is no, that's a little nice ball.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: It's a nice ball, but it's like deflected and he
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: kind of has to slow down. There's a lot of
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: good balls. This will just mean it's a team sport.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Here's the Friarmuth one hander. Just give some love to
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: the receivers. Maybe this group is a little better than
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: we taught.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, celebrate all all the success there. Titans and Lions
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: coming up in Motown. Cynthia squad winning four straight? Are
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: they making it five?
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: I have a ten point win for the Lions twenty
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: eight to eighteen in this matchup. I need to give
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: a little love to Brian Branch and Kirby Joseph. We
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: don't necessarily talk about kind of safeties and defensive backs
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: on teams who are picked to win by ten points
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: or more, but I'm going to because this team, there
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: are four guys in the NFL with has at least
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: four interceptions, rarely only two that are on the same team. So, huh,
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: put that in your pipe and smoke at Greg.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I mean he might be a Defensive Player of the
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Year candidate right now. Brian, I mean you we also
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: that was for.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Taking shots at my Lions earlier.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Y all support your line. I didn't take a shot
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: at the well find that you place me in. Hutchinson
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: is a great place, and then.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: You were like, oh, it's so hard being good Patriots man.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: The roar again. Restore it as it has been for
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: a few years now. The Saints and the Chargers.
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: Over there at so Far Stadium.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Spencer Rattler expected to start again if Derek Carr can't
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: go for New Orleans.
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: I don't necessarily think that matters.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: I like the Bolts in this one by the grand
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: high score of sixteen points to fifteen points, because we've
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: saw Sean Tucker show up become the RB one in fantasy,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Javonte Williams having a huge game, eventually able to sit
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: out for most of the fourth quarter. And now this
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Saints run defense is going to have to see JK.
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: Dobbins and the Chargers.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I think you're gonna get some Kamani videll in this
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: game as well, and they're gonna run the ball a
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: ton and there's not gonna be a lot of possessions.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: But Greg and Cynthia have barn burners compared to me.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what hilarious scores?
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: This week.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: You know what, though, I like what you're what you're
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: putting out there, Patrick, that it's under one score.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: That seven and a half points is a lot.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: The Saints are getting back five or six starters this week.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: They have the extra rest coming off through, so.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: They don't ever see Shaheed. You think MVS is gonna
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: be like, all right, let's go.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: They got a couple offensive linemen their defense. Come on,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: I think I think the Chargers invite close games.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: With all due respect to Super Bowl champion Marquez Valdez Scantling, He's.
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: Not Rashid Shaheed, but who is? Yeah, nobody not me.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Sunday at nine am Eastern, Rich Eyes and Kurt Warner,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Steve Mariucci, Cynthia Freeland and the rest of the crew
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: get you set with NFL Game Day Morning. The guys
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: tell us which NFC powerhouse has the tools to turn
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: their season round. Plus Higgins and Raheem Moster joined the
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: show live. Probably two best guests on that show. Sunday,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: nine am Eastern, right here on a NFL network. Time
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: for write this down here on game debut. Some predictions
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: for Week eight. Why don't you kick it off for
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: the people?
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, sometimes there's a pick. There's a game that I
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: feel so strong about. We got to bring it back
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: during write this down, and it's Packers Jaguars. Actually, that
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: was a quick pick for you, so now I get
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: to talk about it. I feel so good about the
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Packers in this game. Thirty seven to thirty seventeen is
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: the number that I have, So that's twenty points.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: The spread here is only four. This is one of
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: my favorite picks of the whole year.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: People thinking that the Jaguars are suddenly competent just because
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: they played the Patriots. No, this is the thirty second
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: defense in the league in total defensive efficiency.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Matt Lafleur is gonna look.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: At these linebackers and look at these safeties, and he's
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: gonna help Jordan Love pick them apart. I put the
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: over under on Packers points around forty in this game.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: They're just gonna score so much they win by way
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: more than four.
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: All Right, Well, I'm gonna go to the game in
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: Denver between the Panthers and the Broncos, and I'm gonna
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: talk about bo Nix's rushing yards. He's gonna have more
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: than twenty six of them. This guy's his EPA on
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: scrambles is point nine to eight.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: That is a lot.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: So what's gonna happen.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: Actually, this could happen in the first quarter, ladies and gentlemen.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: So I'm looking at his opportunity in this game.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: And even though I don't necessarily think it's gonna be
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: something where he's running late in the game to do
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: anything crazy, I just think it happens in the beginning
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: early often have his before halftime happiness.
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: You can move on.
• 37:32
