  Speaker 1: NFL Game Deview is a production of the NFL in
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome to Game Debut, Patrick playbound here with Greg
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Rosendalt and Cynthia Freeland.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: It's already here. It's week fourteen, and this week.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Could determine a whole lot about the rest of the season.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: That's always true, but it's extra truth.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: No, it is extra true. This is the best slate
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: of the season. The first two blocks of the show
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: have the biggest games that we've talked about all year.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you say so, then it must be true.
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: I'm just still trying to figure out if the games
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: count double after Thanksgiving.
• 0:37
  Speaker 6: But whatever, we lath leverage, it's a little higher high leverage.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Again, it's still one win and one lost every single week.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: But you know, like the scene and Terminator too, where
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: they're driving away from the machine and it's on foot,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: but it keeps getting closer and closer. That's what it's
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: like for me trying to stay ahead of Cynthia Freeland.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: But I have gotten away.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: The model got its claws on the hood, but I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: have pulled away in sole possession of first place. But
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Greg ros last week picks up twelve wins.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: A nice little pat on the head. You had a
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: good week thirteenth. Still that one did not matter more
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: than the other weeks because I'm still buried.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Well, well, they counted double, then I don't.
• 1:18
  Speaker 7: I'm not really sure how that math works, but we'll
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: figure it out.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Folks are counting. They're going back upstairs in the control room.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: They wanted to see Greg Rosenthal side by side with
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the legend himself, Arthur Fonzarelli.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, this says a lot that the control room has
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: cultural references from like fifty years ago.
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: Do better. You know Spotify, I don't even know who
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: that is.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: Their Spotify rap is very culturally relevant and they're telling
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: people they're like seventy years old these days.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: So you know what, I got a lot of compliments
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: in the makeup room.
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: You do it great.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I was one of the people who you never know
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: what to expect. On this show.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: We got Greg's side by side with Henry Winkler and
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: also the Bears with the number one seed in the NFC.
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: Ah this brisk afternoon in Philadelphia, we have a premium
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: matchup Williams the Swim Touchdown.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: What a drive.
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: Here's ma Mungai in he goes for the touchdown. They
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: kid stop him. The tush push. You gotta fumble him.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: There's right going forward to football right there. He did.
• 2:18
  Speaker 9: He got it out, he freed it away, got it
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: away from Jalen Hurts.
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: Well, he was really throwing often making the grab touchdown.
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: One of the evil fans are heading to the parking lot.
• 2:31
  Speaker 9: And his Bears team should be fired up. It's a
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: huge win for him to come on the road in Philadelphia.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Darlas take our starts on the free hot dogs for everybody.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: N see North standings right now.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Check out the probability according to next gen Stats, thirty
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: seven percent of the Bears to win the division, but
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: fifty seven in favor of their opponent this week from
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. I would ask next ten stats,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: what was the probability of the Bears having the number
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: one seed in Week fourteen. It's an interesting question for
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that win. The Bears and the Packers meeting up Sunday
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: in Lambeau. Chicago's won fire straight. Green Bay has won
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: three in a row. Who cleans the North for right now?
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: On Sunday the Packers take the division lead. I think
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: those next gen Stats actually knew what my pick was
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: gonna be, and they work that into the account. And
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: you look at what Jordan Love does when he doesn't
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: get pressured, and you look at what the Bears don't
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: do well this season, and that's get pressure. They are
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: bottom five in the NFL in terms of pressure rate.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: And when you watch these clips, one thing you will
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: not see is Jordan Love getting a lot of heat.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: And when that happens, he's the best quarterback in the league.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: He is leading the NFL in EPA for drop back
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: from clean pockets by a big margin. The difference between
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: him and number two is the same as number two
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: and number eight on the list. And I just think
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: even when the Bears send pressure and they do blitz
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: a lot, they don't get home enough, and I think
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: that's asking for trouble against this Packers.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: I agree that the Packers win. I have an eight
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: point win for them. Twenty seven to nineteen is my
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: final score.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: I want to give some love to.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Romeo Dobbs because last week on Thanksgiving he was electric
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: against the Lions, and this week passing against the Bears
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: is not going to be the probable thing to do.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Why well of course, because the Bears lead the league
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: in taking the ball away, but also because this offense
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: you never know who is going to catch the ball.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: They don't really have the identity that I've been looking
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: for from them all season. This game at forecasts to
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: be maybe the run game a little bit more. However,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: we got to give Romeo Dobbs some love because we
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: don't usually get to.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: Talk about him on this predictive show.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: So I'm not predicting him to have a big game,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: but you know, hats off to you for last week.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a very talented group. He's a big part of it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I've also got the Green Bay Packers winning here, but
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: by a small margin twenty three to twenty one, a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: lower scoring game than Greg and said think because I
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: think these defenses are really good. Chicago's secondary up there
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: nearing Texans territory in terms of talent. But the Packers
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: have something that nobody else has, and that is Micah Parsons,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: who is rocking out number one, and it makes it
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: very difficult for Caleb Williams to have these extended long
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: pass plays where he's rolling and running away and.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Doing all these great things.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Ben Johnson had his shirt off because he entered the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: flow state as a run game play caller in that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: game against the Eagles. I think they need the work
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: from the pass game in this one, and Michael Parsons
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: makes that difficult. So yes, Bears fans me miss away.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: But I believe. I do believe in the Chicago Bears.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: So don't get too weak.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, if you believe in I mean you pick them.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna lose a game. I don't think
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: they're gonna win every single game. Doesn't mean I don't
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: believe in them. It's sound for the feel good story
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: of the Week, presented by Geico Caleb and the Bears
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: put the league on notice last week in Philly, Cynthia
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: will Caleb throw for over under one hundred and ninety
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: two yards against Green Bench.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: I thought you were to talk about the field good
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: story being Ben Johnson's.
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: Shirt take it off.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that feels great.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Well, I think Caleb Williams has a day bigger than
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: one ninety two point five. I have one ninety seven
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: fore cast for him. But I think you know Ben
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Jhonson's shirt stays on. These are going to be shorter
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: passes the Packers do not give up big plays. They're
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: gonna have to be quick passes in rhythm. Really help
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Caleb Williams out because we've seen under pressure that that
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: passer rating things aren't They don't quite connect on that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: So just get the short stuff going, stay in rhythm.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: But Ben Jonson, let's keep the shirt on.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: This time that was I was a little like, oh no,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: I don't know why I had that reaction.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: A peek inside the psyche of the number one seed
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: right now in the NFC, the Bears and the Packers
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: have one of the most storied rivalries in the NFL.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: We'll go from the NFC North to the AFC North,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: which features another classic rivalry.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: They don't like us.
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: We down for so I don't like them.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: They by coming to that house, take it down with
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: no time, go.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Come on, what.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Trucks down? Fooler?
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Ben puts the ball right out.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: The money sucks. Time got a free here.
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: It is a first time starts or Lamar Jackson against
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: the Steeler.
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: Jackson is unbelievably gifted, ch raven, unbelievable plastic raven Steelers.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: All kind of hitting was tough the whole bout.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Indeed, there's a hitting, there's.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: Some jog, there's everything we've thought there would be.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Definitely been a physical game.
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: The Steelers are spelling blood.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: He got fairy, fought fucking man.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: He got two teams. They're respect one another, putting gold
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: like one another.
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: Everything Stittsburgh and Baltimore.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: You don't have to say a whole lot more.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: How about the AFC North winning odds according to Caesar's
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Sports Book, as the Baltimore Ravens the favorite, the Steelers
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: right back there at plus two seventy five, and then well, sorry, Cleveland,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that number is bats plus thirty thousand the Steelers.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: I even bother the Ravens square.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I was not expecting that. Squaring all Sunday in.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Baltimore, the winner takes sole possession of better vibes and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: also first place in the North.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Who gets both of those things? Greg?
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I think the vibes are with the Baltimore Ravens because
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the most consistent group in this entire game lately has
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: been the Ravens defense of all things. Really, over the
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: last month, they've taken over. And when you think about
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: the matchup against the Steelers that will be low scoring.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: I have the Ravens winning eighteen sixteen, So I think
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: that's too many points for the Ravens. I look at
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: how much Aaron Rodgers has struggled against pressure this year.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: He is dead last out of all qualifying quarterbacks in
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: terms of success rate when he's under pressure. I mean
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: I looked, there was not anyone below him. If you
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: want to extend it out. Russell Wilson was a little
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: worse than him, but he doesn't qualify anymore. And when
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: he's under pressure, also struggling and basically of every other
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: step blitz rate when he's pressured like it's not happening
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: for him, I think the Ravens send the house and
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: that they get after him.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: Also, I'm fairly sure that he turned another year older,
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: So now I mean he's just dying if you're forty two,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: because that's what happens. So Baltimore wins this one for
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: you by seven twenty six to nineteen. I'm looking at
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Derrick Henry and I'm looking at Lamar Jackson maybe not
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: being one hundred percent. We've seen two games now where
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: he hasn't passed for a touchdown.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: And I'm just saying give it to twenty two.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Don't even mess around with like an angry Cam Hayward,
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: which was pretty fun.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: It was kind of funny to watch that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea what's going on,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: but I enjoyed the feistiness. Right, But stay away from
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: the guys who are going to run at your quarterback.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: I just think this is going to be where we
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: see Derek Henry have a nice game where Baltimore takes control,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: shorter passes, stay away from any pressure, leverage the fact
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: that the Steelers defense can get got, and you know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: then deal with funny press conferences later.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a sweep.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I've got Baltimore as well, twenty to seventeen, three point
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: win and hopefully get Kyle Hamilton back playing around a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. He played slot corner for the most
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: snaps he's played all season on Thanksgiving. I don't know
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: if you guys remember it was a rough night for Baltimore.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: So you get the best athlete there in the box
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: where the Ravens what are the best of this season
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: having him down there around the football, and that's where
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: you need him against this very compact Steelers offense. And
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I say this as somebody who's just a couple of
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: weeks older than Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, it is a line
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: of demarcation and we've.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Started to shuffle our way off this mortal coil. Just kidding.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Everybody's doing great. Let's move from the AFC North to the.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: AFC South, where it's another tight race for the division title.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: How about the next Gen Stats probability for the AFC.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: South and it's got the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: How right now.
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: With whatever we can talk about. Me and next Gen
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: Stats will have a chat later.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: It's the numbers, and the numbers say the Jags are
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: going to win the AFC South forty two percent of
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the time. It's time for What's ahead, presented by a
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Credit One Bank. The Colts and the Jags squaring off
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Sunday for the first place spot in the division. Jacksonville
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: has won three in a row, INDI has lost three
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of their last four. The Colts upcoming schedule gets very,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: very difficult. It's already right now, Greg, what happens.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: I think that schedule might explain the percentage for what.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: I'm talking about Houston. I think Houston wins the division.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I'm with you, and a part of that equation will
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: be actually the Colts winning this week, because then the
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Texans can get this week later. So I got the
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Colts winning, And it's partly because of what I saw
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: last week out of Daniel Jones. If you just saw
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: the final score, you would have thought he struggled in
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: that game. But I think the Colts offense are ready
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: to explode once again. A lot of good third and
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: long plays from Daniel Jones in this game that was
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: against the Texans, and I was worried about his mobility,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: but I don't know. He's got some magic thing around
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: his calf that is healing a fractured bone. I don't
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: know how that works, but in general, it made me
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: more confident that he's going to be okay moving forward.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: And you know what that means. That means he can
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: be the demon slayer. That means he can be the
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: curse breaker. The last time the Colts won a game
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: in Jack Barrows was two thousand and fourteen. Blake Bortles
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: was the starting quarterback for the Jaguarts.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Chad Henny came into this game.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson was the leading rusher for the Indianapolis Colts,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: and yes, future Super Bowl champion Chad Henny eventually came
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: in because it was a blowout. Andrew Luck did a
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: lot of work. I mean, this is ridiculous. I love
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: watching this footage, but it's time to end that streak.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Like Daniel Jones ended the streak of the Colts losing
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: in Week one for all those years in week one,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: so he's going to do it here too.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: I do have the Colts winning, but just by one
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: point twenty four to twenty three. There are some confounding things.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: I'm not a doctor. That is what I've learned this week.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: There are so many surgery slash miraculous bone healing situations
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: that I don't understand, including Daniel Jones. But I want
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: to flip over to why Jacksonville peeps it closer?
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: Can we give some love to Brenton Strange please?
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: The tight end who is probably maybe the most underrated
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: that I've seen across the league at the position I
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: was doing little work to see, like who's valuable this
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: season that maybe we aren't talking about enough. These are
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: clips that you're going to see right now of him
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: catching the ball. You should watch what happens on run plays.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: You should watch what happens when he is not the
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: subject of a pass. He's out there, chipping, blocking, doing
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: all the things that you need him to do. So
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: we're gonna give some love to him here. I think
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: he catches at least four passes. There's a little rite
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: this down here, additional write this down. But I really
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: think we don't give him enough credit and nationally. So
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: here we are on this show. You're not an underdog
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: on our show. We see you full dog on this show.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got that dog in us. In fact, why
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: don't we get a dog barking right.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Here, because I will be all by myself if he
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: goes down and do ball. Twenty four, twenty two Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: The Jags defense has the task, the tough task of
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: stopping Jonathan Taylor fun fact Wood he marks sixty three
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: yards back in Week ten. That's the most anybody's run
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: all season against Jacksonville, and so that frees up Josh
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Heines Allen to be a problem in the past game.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Since Week eight, no one in the NFL has more
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: pressures than Josh Heines Allen. I think they bring him
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: in on some stunts, get dime off of his spots,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: because yeah, we don't we don't necessarily, He's just dealing
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: with it like bones are broken.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: You don't know.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: His buddies from Duke figured out something that makes your
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: bones not break.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Let me he's got bone grow since at Hogwarts.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: First to goal at the seventh straut of the gun,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Marks to his left plus formation left.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: CJ takes the snap and they hand it to Nico
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: on the end around, running left, Nico to the goal line.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: He's got it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: Nico takes it in for six. From the seven.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Caesar Sportsbook.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: As we look at the first touchdown score odds for
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Houston at Kansas City, Rashid Rice and Kareem Hunt leading
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the way, but right there with him is Woody Marks
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and then Nico Collins, followed up by Travis Kelcey. So
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: let's dig into this matchup between the Texans and the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Chiefs on Sunday night. Casey is six and six on
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the season. A loss here could crush their hopes for
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the postseason. Houston can still win the AFC South. In fact,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Cynthia thinks that they're going to do it. So how
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: does this one go?
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Gret Well, then Houston better win this game with a
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: big time upset and they will do it nineteen to seventeen.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: It's a defensive game, and yet I want to talk
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: about the offense for the Texans because the upset, Yeah,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: the Texans winning this game, that'd be an upset, like
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: they did last.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Week in St.
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: Colts.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: But the real upset here is that this Texans offensive
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: line has looked average over the last month, and that
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: normally would be an insult or they've been mediocre.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: No mediocre is a huge upgrade. That's all.
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: C J.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Stroud and Nico Collins and Woody Marks ever want to
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: just give us normal. And if you look at all
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: the different offensive line metrics, certainly the offensive metrics, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: this goes back to when Davis Mills was in the lineup,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: they just look okay, like not great, and that's good enough,
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: especially against this Chiefs defense, which is really struggling to
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: create pressure when they blitz. They're at the bottom of
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: the league in terms of creating pressure. So you give
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: c J. Stroud some time. He was in a groove
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: in the second half last week. I think he keeps
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: it going.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: I agree with you, Gren.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I also got the Houston Texans, and considering the way
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Kansas City has.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Gone, I don't know if I.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Feel like it's that much of an upset, although it
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: is a one point victory from me twenty one to twenty,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: because you're just asking Patrick Mahomes to do so much.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: He lives off extending dropbacks.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: This season, he has.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Four hundred and two more yards than anyone else will
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: either scrambling or making a play when the play breaks down.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: But did you see the protection against the Dallas Cowboys.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: He got pressured thirty five percent of his dropbacks. Meanwhile,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Will Anderson Daniel Hunter a big part of the reason
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: that Texans folks have given up only seventy five yards
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: passing all season on extended dropbacks. It's a lot to
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: ask Patrick Mahomes to do, Cynthia yep.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Okay, well here we go, give me the prime number.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Do do do me and the Chiefs prime number.
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: Here, get excited about it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: It's gone so well for me this season twenty two
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: to eighteen.
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: That is what the model says.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: A couple of things here are wonky data points for
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: the Chiefs, as in how many penalties they're getting, especially
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: offensive holding calls.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: That is not great, especially.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: With two maybe three of their offensive linemen not one
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: hundred percent we're playing one of the two things will happen.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: We'll know ninety minutes before kick. But here's the thing,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes' ability to extend plays using his like. So
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: you talk about extended dropbacks, that priest opposes that you're
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: going to.
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: Throw the ball right, you have to throw the ball there.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: But Patrick Mahomes on explosive runs, that is where you
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: can get this Texans defense while it's asking fifteen to
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: be you know the thing, the thread on first down,
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: the thread on second down, third, heck, maybe even fourth down.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: I still think this is what he lives for. These
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: are the time where the cream rises.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: To the top.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: So I would expect eighty seven to have a big game.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: I would expect where she writes to have a big game.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: And Patrick Mahomes that rushing number is going to be
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: very high because he's going to have to get out
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: of the way, stay away from Daniel Hunter, Will Anderson Junior,
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: et cetera.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: So we disagree. We'll see how the prime nard goes
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: as folks see. That season is brought to you by

• 18:29
  Speaker 2: the tell injury.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, welcome back, Joe.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Here is what things have looked like, including the playoffs
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: for Joe Burrow and Josh Allen, although they play on
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: opposite sides of the ball. QB wins wise, Joe Burrow's
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: got him two and oh his.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Team scoring more points.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: He's got more yards per game and has thrown four
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: touchdowns and not had any interceptions because Josh Allen.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Is stuffy huge sample size there, guys, huge and out there.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: All the numbers on the board, Cynthia are correct. As
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: time for the read presented by Microsoft co Pilot. Microsoft
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: co Pilot, your AI companion for NFL game and every
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: day we ask co Pilot for the key storylines to
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: watch in this.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Huge game between the Bengals and Bills.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Of course, Scott Allen and Burrow, as well as going
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: throw for throw and that one Cincinnati's receivers against Buffalo's
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: secondary and how the Bengals O line will hold up
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: against Sean McDermott's defensive front. Let's dive into this matchup
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: a little bit more as human beings. The Burrow and
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the Bengals need to win out plus get some help
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: to sneak into the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Bills currently hold
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the number seven seeds. So which way are you leaning, Cynthia.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I have a pretty sizeable win for Buffalo thirty to
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: twenty three, slightly higher scoring than you might imagine. I
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: know that the run game and you know James Cook
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: is a big deal, but I want to also talk
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: about Khalil Shaker because I feel like it's always this
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: throwaway line, like, oh yeah, the Bills are run, run, run,
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: run run, and then sometimes Khalishaker will catch up. But
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: you know what, Khalil Shakira has actually been extremely viable.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: Also, we talk about Dalton Kindate helping out there too, but.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Ultimately he has been more than just a throwaway line.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: I'm going for who needs a light shine on them
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: this week?
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: And I want to shine that late right on Khalil Shaker.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: It's not like this Bengals defense is a real scary
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: one when it comes to stopping the bouts. No, there
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: are they going to get after Josh Allen. They only
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: have eighteen sacks on the season. So I'm just looking
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: at this and saying, hey, let's give a little love
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: to the receiver.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: I think he sees the end zone this week.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Khalil shak Hear is deserving of love. I
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: also have a Bills win. It's twenty seven to twenty four.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I think they limit the opportunities for Burrow and Chase,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: especially considering the way the t Higgins is going to
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: be back as well. And yeah, they do it the
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: way they did it last week against Pittsburgh Steels. They
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: hand James Cook, who could be leading the league in
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: rushing by the end of the week.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Shout out to all those Oh.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, can't pay running backs, but then they don't try
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: as hard guys out there.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: You're having a rough one there.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: The Steelers were powerless to sound like again, oh oh yeah,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: can't pay people.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: If you pay people, then you.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Gotta have the kids in the factory wanting to ink food.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: So considering the way that Joe Brady will willing to
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: give the ball to James Cook, I think they keep
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: that thing going and have Cook leading the league and rushing,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: especially twenty two personnel. He's got more yards than anybody
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: else and that's where the majority of his yards come from.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: It's gonna get a lot of carries Sunday, Greg.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: The whole rest of the show to be hosted by
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: the guy who doesn't want James Cook to get paid.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: I have the Bills winning, but you know what, I
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: like the Bengals to keep it closer than five and
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: a half in this game, so I will talk about
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: one of the reasons they will do so, Chase Brown
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: and this Bengals running attack. Since that magical night when
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Joe Flacco entered the lineup, which is now at seven
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: games ago, the Bengals are fourth and rushing epa third
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: and success rate. I think this offensive line is underrated.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: No Joey Bosa in this game in terms of the
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: pass rush too, so that helps out. But I really
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: think it's the ground game because as Patrick said that
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Bill's defense good against the pass.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: I think you can run on them.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: I think it's a good close game that's gonna be
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: lighting up the scoreboard early on Sunday.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Right, we all have Bill's wins. It's sign for Who's
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Eaten Good?
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Presented by Appleby's two superstar quarterbacks going at it Sunday
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: in Buffalo. Which guy is more likely to throw for
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: over two hundred and fifty yards?
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Is it Joe or Josh?
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: Both, but more likely would be Josh Allen for me
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: in this one. I told you I like the James
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Cook factor in this, but I also think you can
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: target downfield against the Bengals. I want to see a
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: few of those deeper passes. I'm pretty sure that people
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: will be a little you know, Joe Brady's maybe not.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: The favorite there in Buffalo right now.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: I think this is a chance to show how the
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: passing eight can really come together.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Gentlemen, this is not going to be a discussion.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: This is going to be a rage bomb.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: What is DoD Dame?
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: It's Nick Sirianni doing.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: There's no freaking way we should come out looking like
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: they the frequent culture bro.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: They're just a really like unacceptable product to put on
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: I'm sick and tired, you know what.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: Some is broken.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: I don't want to see this head coach anymore.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see this offensive coordinator anymore.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: You allow what it was, an.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Old school, old fashioned wolf.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: That's what the Eagles got.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're eight and four. The sky's falling in Philly.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: The Eagles have lost two.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: In a row, and they've got a Monday night matchup
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: with the Chargers. Jalen Carter is out, while Justin Herbert
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: is hoping to play after having hand surgery.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Other than those folks hopefully getting the help they need,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: what do you think happens, Cynthia, I'm.
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: A little stunned. Twenty two to twenty Philadelphia.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: I hope that that man is okay after this one,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: but I have just a two point win. Again, I'm
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: a little disturbed. AJ Brown has a bad matchup in
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: this one, and that is typically where we see.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: Some sort of magic from him.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: The Chargers have been good at limiting these downfield receptions,
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: but I think we have to see.
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: Something happen here.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not going to talk about he shall
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: not be named because I don't want to inflame whoever
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: that man is. And hopefully, you know, he gets a
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: xanax or something. But you know, ultimately I'm thinking that
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: you know, we'll see a little bit more creativity from
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: this offense. And both Saque and aj Brown. The Stars
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: will come out and do what the Stars need to do.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've also got a Birds win here twenty eight
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: to twenty one. I think the Philly defense does take
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: it obviously a significant hit Without Jalen Carter. The Chargers
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: score in the twenties with the Eagles score more because
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: protection has forced Justin Herbert to play hero ball. The
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: last time a decent pass rush came up against me
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: out his worst game against the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: The Chargers have had fourteen different offensive line combinations. I
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: know this Bird's pass rush can get after him. They've
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: given up pressure on forty one percent of Herbo's dropbacks.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Good, well, the fourteenth is going to be the magical number.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: They found one that works. It's Jamari Sallier at left tackle.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: I love the Chargers in this game. I think they
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: match up well. Give me that, just Greg and give
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: me a big comeback on King Patrick because I feel
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: good about this Chargers defense. I really mean it. I
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: like them in this game. I'm going to this game.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: They prevent a big pass. Like Cynthia mentioned, they're healthy.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: I actually don't have tickets yet. But I am planning
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: to go. Look, they are one of the best defenses
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: in the league at making you work your way down
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: the field play by play. They kind of play that
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Fanjo style. But you know who's not built for that,
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: The Philadelphia Eagles. All they do is hit big plays.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: The running game is basically gone. And since they traded
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: for Adapiowa up front, they are healthier. And it's guys
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: you don't know, to tierre it Tart to Shawn Han
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: who are healthier.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: They're healthier in the back end.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: And there's only one Justin Herbert, and he played pretty
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: well with a freshly broken wrist last weekend, So now
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: it's a week recovered, he'll be fine.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: Does he have the magic boom stuff from Daniel Jones?
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: All I'm saying is he does this heaven.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: He won a game in the NFL last week where
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: he had to hold his hand with just that.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: Was the Raiders. That's a fair point.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I just I don't know. It looked
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: pretty broken to me. I'm just saying we didn't see
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: him once under center after that.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, SkELL A grow sales all the way up here
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: at the NFL Our Game, expected to be low scoring
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: according to our friends at Caesars. Why don't we check
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: out the rest of the lowest totals as the Titans
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: and the Browns leading the way at thirty four Broncos Raiders,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: and then that Eagles Chargers game that we just discussed.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: So it's time for a two minute drill presented by
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: the Wells Fargo Active Cash Credit Card. Let's make some
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: quick picks here on the show, the Rams and the
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Cardinals and the Desert La. Coming off of shocking loss
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: in Charlotte, do Sean mcvay's squad founce backwards?
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: I think they do, and I think they even get
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: over that big number because of the running game. I
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: don't think the average fan really realized how good this
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: running game is. They are at first in the league
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: in success rate by a lot and that is not
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: just Kyrid Williams, that is Blake Korum. And I really
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: love the push that I saw out of their offensive line.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Even last week in Carol it was not the running game.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: They're going over seven yards per carry and that's what
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: you need to do against Arizona because Arizona's actually given
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: the Rams some problems. They held them to twenty three
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: total points last year, and that's because they're good stop
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: in the past. I think the vulnerability for Arizona is
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: on the ground, and that's where Quorum especially will roll.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: All Right, we are all on the Rams there, the
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Seahawks and the Falcons. Seattle trying to keep up with
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: the Rams in the west. Atlanta has lost six of
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: their last seven games. Maybe Cynthia the Model has seen
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: something regarding coal stock fluctuations.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Is their hope for the Birds.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know if Cyber Monday went so well for them.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: I think Seattle wins this one going away. Twenty seven
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: to nineteen is me score. I just wanted to remind
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: everyone that despite not catching a single downfield pass so
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: ten plus yarder last week, Jackson Smith and Jigbust still
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: leads the league by over three hundred yards in such receptions.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: Just remember they're very good in.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Aj Terrell, who is the best corner for the Falcons
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: other than Ttero McMillan. He doesn't really travel with teams one,
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: so there's going to be a lot of space for
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: JSN to keep getting those downfield targets and turn them
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: into touchdowns.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: I just like Greg's score.
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's thirty thirty two eleven. That's a Kirk Cousins
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: type of store. Thirty eleven.
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: There's like a coupon for that.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: It's the hell of an opportunity right now, off for.
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: One and what mo?
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: What delay on alert?
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Just guess unbelievable? Excuse me, sir?
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, dos Daggs climing it? You disrespect one
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: of my passes like that again, We're gonna have a problem,
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: right y'all.
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: Better get that boom out of my face.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: My bad, I.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Designed it's in the face, my bat.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: It's okay, Dad, Take a sip for your sippy cup.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Why do you say that?
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: Cooks right here by free By.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: Bay Taco toast Ivaca.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: We're good.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the world.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: You like that.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: So let's take a look back at some of the
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: picks we have in these huge games. The only little
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: bit of difference is Cynthia's got the Kansas City Chiefs
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: winning against the Houston Texans and I have the ride
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: with the.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Folks in all Todd for some more or less.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: As we've got some star pack matchups this weekend, let's
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: dive into player props for these big games, So the
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: bone fingers that they're very on the shelves. We'll start
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: with the Bengals and the Bills. Joe Burrow twenty three
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: and a half completions. What do you think in relation
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: to that number?
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Well, I do know that it is harder to pass
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: on the Bills than it is to run on them. However,
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: this is Joe Burrow we're talking about here, and Jamar
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: Chase is there, right, So there we go.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: I have more than that now.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: I think that in this game in general, the run
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: game is a smarter option for both teams, meaning I
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: don't think there's going to be as many passing opportunities.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: So twenty three, but don't go crazy with it like
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: twenty four twenty right, keep it in the twenty six
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: twenty seven range.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: Show Courny higher than that?
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go over to the other quarterback, Greg
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Well Josh Allen have over two and a half total
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: touchdowns passing rushing. However, you want to get there more
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: than two and a half.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's cute how people have broken out. Oh the
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Bengals Deepen, it's a little better. Yeah, better than the
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: worst defense I've ever seen. You think they're keeping him
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: under two and a half touchdowns, No way, Josh Allen.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: You're getting the rushing touchdowns by the way, here that
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: either one's count, it's total touchdowns total. And so I
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: think in the red zone you could see him, you know,
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: running the ball quite a bit because they're pressing that
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: Nash Allen. But and you're going up against a couple
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: rookie linebackers. And yes, the Bengals defense has been better.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: That's a two games sample size. How about the one
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: hundred and thirty six games sample size that is Josh
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Allen's career to.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Go over to the Bengals offense. Jamar Chase went over
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: one hundred yards last week in Joe Burrow's return more
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: or less than eighty four and a half yards receiving
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: against the Bills, And I'm gonna go with he's tied
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: with Pooka Nakoula for the most receptions out as a
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: wide receiver. We know how dangerous he can be after
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the catch as well. I think the Bills would be great,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: they would feel spectacular. Oh, we held Jamar Chase to
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: eighty four and a half yards. I think he goes
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: over that number, albeit in a loss for Theseti Bengals.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: So let's move to the Texas Chiefs game on Sunday
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: night in arrow hit.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Lots of star power there.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Let's start with the biggest one, Patrick Mahomes Cynthia more
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: or less than two hundred and thirty seven yards in
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: this game.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: I want him. How you're making me be mean? Oh wow,
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying it's bad. I have them winning. No
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: one else on the screen does so. Chiefs fans yell
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: at them, not me. I just think that this is
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: a run first situation. They need to use the run accordingly.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: This is a really really good defense, lowest passer rating
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: in the league allowed, number one total defense, number one scoring.
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: Like, we get it. They're a very good defense.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: So do the smart thing and keep the ball on
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: the ground a little bit more.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: There were two wide receivers who reside in the state
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: of Texas that the Chiefs have problems with last week, right,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Nico Collins, Is he get more than.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Sixty eight and a half receiving?
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: You're glad he brought that up because some of these
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Chiefs cornerbacks they are a little undersized, and that lets
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: me honk about my guy, Nico Collins because this things
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: happens when a guy breaks out like of Collins, He's
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: going over sixty eight and a half, no problem that
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: you recognize the breakout, then you stop talking about him.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: And yet he is as good as he has ever been.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: I put him in the top ten wide receivers in
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: the entire NFL, and I don't think that the Chiefs
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: will have the horses to stop.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: The other wide receiver in this game. On the other
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: side of the field is Rashid Rice. He had over
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: ninety yards and two touchdowns against the Cowboys last week.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Does he get more than sixty six receiving yards on Sunday? Yeah,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I think he does. And I know this Houston Texas.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Houston Texas defense is good and the secondary.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Is very good.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: But Rashid Rice, the way they use him in this
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Chiefs offense is nonstandard.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: There's opportunities for him to get the ball on plays
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: like this, on short.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Passes as well, that he gets a chance to not
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: just punt the ball into the stands, but get some
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: yards as well. And I think he clears that sixty
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: six yard number.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: You know who's really good against zone defensive Who is that?
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes? You know who plays a lot of zone
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: is it the Texans?
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: Huh?
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: You know who catches a lot of passes in zone
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: against zone defense?
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: For Patrick Mahons, Rashia Wright.
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, so I'm with you. I'm with you, all right.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: So a positive there.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: It's twenty four hundred, about twenty four hundred yards against zone.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: It's a lot.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: It's the third most in the league. Let's go.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: She's feel great.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: You feel great about Cynthia's pick because she feels great
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: about it, and we feel great about more or less,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: and we also feel great about the Pro Bowl. The
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six NFL Pro Bowl Vote, presented by Jersey
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Mike's is open and the Ross Moos is up to
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: you now through December fifteenth. Castre ballot and honor of
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: the players who dominated this season. Don't wait, go to
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Pro Bowl dot com slash vote today. Let's make some
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: quick picks here on Game Davie, the Commanders and the Vikings.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy on track to play from Minnesota. Jayden Daniel's
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: status is still uncertain.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: What do you think happens?
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: I don't care who's playing quarterback for the Commanders. I
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: still think that they win this game twenty three to
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: twenty oh one. Why I saw Washington beat the Broncos
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: blitz They beat the Broncos pressure.
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: They held the Broncos to the lowest pressurey of not
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: just this season but since twenty twenty three. Last week.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Why because they figured out how to use zach Ertz.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: They figured out how to.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: I don't know, use Jayden Daniels and stay committed to
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: the run game. Excuse me, Marcus Mariota, and use his
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: ability to stay committed to the run game, which if
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: it's Jaden Daniels, he's an even higher percentage scrambler. But
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: it's really the ability for zach Ertz to be this
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: ultimate X factor against a team we know. You know
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: what's gonna happen the blitz is They're gonna blitz guys.
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: And that's gonna be the blitz bee.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Also, dan Quinn said last week in the locker room
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: they have may have, may have lost, but they are
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: no longer lost.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: That he needs to want to go to the Church
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: of dan Quinn.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: That's and also the Vikings favored in this game, but
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: not on this show. We're all aboard the Commanders, the Saints,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: and the Bronx. Tampa ended a three game skid with
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: a win last week against the Cardinals.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Does Baker make it two in a row.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: I think he does.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: I think he played a better game last week, which
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: was good to see. It always helps to have your
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: old friends Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving back, so I
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: have them covering that big number. And it's not just
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: that Chris Godwin was on the field. It's that he
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: was on the field and he looked like Chris Godwin
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: early in the season didn't seem to be moving as well.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: You see him there make a play after the catch.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: There's another deep reception that he makes, nice crossing route here,
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: and it's just the type of throws and the type
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: of catches you're used to seeing out of Chris Godwin.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: And then Bucky Irving was absolutely electric with the ball
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: in his hands, one of my favorite running.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: Backs to watch it.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: I liked that they were conservative the Buccaneers usually are
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: with these injuries. They waited till he was fully back,
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: ready to go. He's back, and I think their offense
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: is going to be a lot better.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: For it, especially considering the way that Bucky Irving contributed
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: down the stretch last season. Excited about that and excited
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: the Baker Mayfield who is you know things have been
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: going the other direction.
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: He's I think what I think? He's Baker.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: So you're okay with Justin Herber playing with like a
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: broken hand, but you're like worried about Baker who played
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: through a Listen.
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: I'm not a bit doctor. The eye test said he
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: played pretty well last week.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: But the eye tests famously not medically advice.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: When we come back, Bow and the Broncos on a
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: nine game heater, but the Raiders nearly beat them just
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: a few weeks ago.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Does Denver need to be on upset alert in Sin City?
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: Our spoiling Raiders, Our picks for things that are.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Not the Raiders coming back coming up next, All the.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: Games not a spoiler. The Raiders are bad.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Tom for some more quick picks back here on our show,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: the Broncos and the Raiders. Denver barely hung on to
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: beat the Commanders last week. They still won nine straight.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: There's no way. There's no way that the Raiders make.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: This a game, right, So.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: There's no way. But I don't see that happening. I
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: have twenty five to sixteen. In this matchup, bo Nicks
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: has some underlying metrics that forecast him to improve the
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: production in the passing game, and this is a great
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: place for it to start.
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: Not only is the opportunity here.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Against a Look, I love Max Crosby, let's just say
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: he's let's just take him out of this. But the
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: defense is extremely susceptible in the passing game. In fact,
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: Max Crosby very good at stopping the run. Let's just
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: give him credit where credits due. But apart from that,
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: this is a Bonix probably Troy Franklin, Courtland Sutton like,
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: maybe we even see, like, you know, an Evan Ingram
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: touchdown for an olden as well.
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: No drops there.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Well, let's go to the Dolphins and the Jets. Miami
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Is won three straight and when things were laughable, Greg
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Rosenthal said, there's still a path.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, does the path continue?
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Grid, I My picks are not consistent because I'm taking
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: the Jets in this game. You know, Tyrod Taylor has
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: upgraded this offense and he is absolutely a member of
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: just scrag nation.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: Let's do it.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Tyrod and Aaron Glenn are getting it going. Aaron Glenn
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: talked all year that they just got to stay together.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: And if you look at the first year I was
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: in Detroit, we lost all those games early, and at
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: the end of the year, we're playing hard still and
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: we start winning game.
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: It's starting to happen here for the New York Jets.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: You can't tell me that the Dolphins are so great
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: that they're gonna sweep a team that to me has
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: a little more something indefinable, a little juice right now.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: And Tyrod likes to throw the deep ball. He's added
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: a little bit to the running game to Breiscee. Hall
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: is playing fantastic and just look at that man. That's
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: a man that deserves to win another game.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: I love the Aaron Glynn pointing at things Burol the Titans.
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: And brown the tap. It's great.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: It's camp Ward against Jador Sanders.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I am gonna go with the Cleveland Browns here winning
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: this one twenty to sixteen, purely based on the idea,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: the hope, the sum nation that maybe they just give
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: the ball to Quinn Shawn Jenkins and have a normal game.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Noe weird stuff on the offensive line, like everybody plays
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: to an assignment and they don't dive randomly onto the
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: grass like they did on fourth and one against the
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers. Yeah, a solid win and we all
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: have shador in the Browns getting the.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Win there coming up, folks.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Somebody called the fire department because Greg Rosenthal is on fire. No, Thomas,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: don't actually do that. Greg is fine, he's sick for now.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: It's fake. It's fake leather.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's not safe to go against Greg Rosenthal.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: I'll write this down.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Seven weeks in a row, he has been successful in props.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: What does he say this week?
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: We have to wait and find out when we come
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: back on game debut. It's time to get a pin
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: out and go to write this down. Our favorite prop
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: predictions for week fourteen.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Seven is half of fourteen.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: Greg is on fire right now?
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: What is it? Greg?
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: So I think you know, the people who make these
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: lines know that I keep winning, and so they try
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: to raise the stakes and raise that ad Mitchell line
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: to forty six and a half. You'll raise it. I'll
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: raise it over the top of that. This guy is
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: going deep. He is their number one receiver. Who's gonna
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: stop them on Miami Roswell Douglas, I don't think so, Jack,
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Jones Jo not stopping him a d Mitchell is going
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: way over forty six and a half and he's bringing
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: us an eighth straight win.
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: Wow, Ady Mitchell again, I'm going back to the well.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: I'll get to say.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: I wish I could think of the fawns like like
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: some fawns like statement to say to that, But I
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: love it. I have Blake Koram to rush for more
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: than thirty three and a half yards against the Cardinals.
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: We talked about Korum before, but here's something that you
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: also need to know. Eighteen percent of his carriers have
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: resulted in ten plus yard games, which is the highest
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: rate in the National Football League. Those are traits that
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: Sean McVay loves.
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: Plus, I think kind of William's just a little banged up.
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: So let's go Korum spire up free. I didn't I
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: didn't make the market. I just found it.
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: Actually, our researcher crounded, but I have him find it.
• 41:01

  Speaker 3: Has how things have gone this season.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: But Saquon Barkley goes over seventy and a half rushing
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: yard against.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: The Chargers' money.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: I think back to that game against the Jags where
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Basial Tootin and Travis Etn went off. I think Saquon
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: has a nice game, and I think the folks upstairs, well, one,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: they love doing this show, but also they love this
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: split screen how Arthur fawns Arelli and Greg Rosenthal.
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: So there it is now by the fus up.
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: This joke has jumped the start.
