• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Heybody, Welcome to game debut, delivered by Little Caesars, the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: official pizza sponsor of Super Bowl fifty eight. Patrick claibn
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Here where Greg Rose at all, Cynthia Freeland and our
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: pizza themed items, and uh it's it's been a great season.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Let's let's do a postseason gun.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, this is how I feel about that.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: They're gonna keep us on air. Let's go thumbs.
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: Up, thumbs up piece, It's all great.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: The thumbs up goes to our regular season picks. Champ
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: sad to say it is not Cynthia, nor it is myself.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: One of us finished the season really well last year,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and that was this mass. Go ahead and put that
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: crown along Greg Row's thought.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: That crowd's gonna get molded into my head. It's been
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: on there so long. We're not mailing anything in. We're
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: not like, not in it for the playoffs.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: We're here, okay, but I've been holding all about holding
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: that lead. You guys, catch up, hold back ahead, let's go.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: It's not our jobs to catch Greg, because you've both
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: we both have to catch Greg. We just need to
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: bring him down. It does matter which one of us
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: does it. That smug little smile in that crown.
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: All right, let us see it stopped.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: I don't like this beginning part where we talk about
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: my good records.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Well, instead of a picture of your actual face, will
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: go to a picture that you love so much with
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: with you rocking the crown.
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: One hundred and sixty one and ninety five.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: There it is. What a season. But nothing, nothing could
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: stop Greg Rosenthal.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: You know they say, you know, repeating is the hardest thing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: You know, it didn't bless me with great genetics sitting
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: next to these two, but they've blessed me.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: With back to back seats with great luck. I'm going
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to enjoy it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Well, there's kind of serving looks. I took several swings
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to try to catch up to Greg. It did not
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: work in Week eighteen. But you know what we have.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: We have a second season.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Whole new season.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: We have an opportunity. So let's talk to all the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Browns and Texans. Met Back in week sixteen, Joe Flaccow
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and Company more or Less Blue Houston out of Mary Cooper,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: had a huge day setting a franchise record with two
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five receiving yards. He put him back
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: end so he could break the record. Shout out to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Josh Gordon. Also worth noting CJ. Stroud missed that game
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: due to an injury. Stroud will definitely be there Saturday
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: for the rematch. Joe Flacco five and zero in his
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: career in the wildcard round? Does he make it six?
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: And oh, Cynthia, he does.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Oh, and he's actually tied with Tom Brady for seven
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: postseason wins and he's gonna make it eight, so he'll
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: be the solo leader. Okay, so enough of my singing.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Twenty four twenty three is my final score.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: A very narrow win.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Notice there's a lot of points here why they get
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: to play inside the only AFC team that is going
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: to AFC teams that are going to play inside. But
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: I want to talk about a Mariy Cooper one more time.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: If you look at what happens when you're not targeting
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: the Derek Stingley side of this secondary, well, they're.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Stinging right there and he still caught a touchdown.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: But if you're looking at what happens on the other side,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: it's still an area where the Houston Texans will look
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: to develop this offseason. I say that diplomatically enough. Other
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: than Stingley, they got some questions in that secondary, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Amari Cooper exposed that last time Joe Flacca with the
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: deep passes. If you saw those downfield routes, of the
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: two hundred and sixty five yards, two hundred and fourteen
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: of them run downfield route. So it's gonna be an
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: issue for the secondary.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no question for the best player on the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: field that day was that was Amari Cooper. Incredible performance.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: But there's gonna be a theme with the picks that
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I make here this wild card round. I'm gonna take
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the best player. I think the best player. You can
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: make a case that Miles Garrett has been the best
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: player on the field in all of the NFL this seaar.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I think he's gonna win Defensive Player of the Year.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: He rushed from the left side a season high sixty
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: percent of the time against the Texans in Week sixteen.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: He's on the right edge eighty percent of the time
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: everywhere else according to Next Gen Stats, and George Fitt
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: actually finished things at right tackle for Houston in Week eighteen.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: He played well against the Colts. But this isn't Samson
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Iwcamp all right, this is Miles Garrett. Glad he was
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: able to get a week off because he's been playing
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: with that injured shoulder for the past seven weeks. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: think a healthy Miles Garrett creates real problems for Houston.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I've got the Browns winning as well, twenty four to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: twenty one.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: See that makes sense.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: And it was dominant the first time around in the
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: way this Browns defense is playing.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: They're the best group in this game.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: And so all week my head said Browns, but my
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: heart and my gut said Texans. And this week it's
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: not just gonna be just Greg. We're gonna bring in
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: someone to help me out here. It's gonna be just
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Greg and Walker. It's my son's favorite team here, the Texans.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: In the playoffs, they get to win twenty two to
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: twenty one.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: He's kind of adopted the Texans this year because they're
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: fun to watch. It's not just about the offense, it's
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: about the defense too. Jonathan Grenard and Will Anderson. So
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: on your birthday, buddy, happy birthday, I'm picking your new
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: favorite team because the Patriots are trash you know who
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: else is isn't trash Will Anderson, Jonathan Grenard, these two players,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: and you don't think about their defense first, but as
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: an edge duo, they rank in the top five in
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: terms of quick pressure, so that's under two point five seconds.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: You look at the matchup against these tackles that the
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Browns have third fourth stringers. I think they can get
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: enough pressure on Joe Flak o'flacco will give you a
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: chance and let's start the postseason strong with it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Just they could have the O Roy and Deroy team
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: yet again, just like the Jets did.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: But a lot more positivity when the quarterback is the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: offensive rookie of the year and really good as opposed
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: to the Jets. Sorry, wait, at least the Jets get
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to mention here on the postseason. Yes, Dave, you're staying
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: in the AFC. The Dolphins and Chiefs met in Week
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: nine in Frankfurt, Germany, the first ever NFL game played
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: in Germany, the first in Frankfurt, Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: only scored nine points in the week before the second
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: fewest in the Mahomes era. And there goes Patrick Mahomes
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: suit Jerick McKinnon open field in front of him, seventeen
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: yard touchdown. It was fourteen to nothing Chiefs at that point.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Mahomes hit nine different receivers in the first half, and
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: we were all so excited about Tyreek going up against
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: this old team, so he had celebrations planned. He did
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: not get to use him because trit McDuffie gets the fumble.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Mike Edwards recovers it laterals to Brian Cook goes all
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the way back for AKC touchdown. It was twenty one
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to nothing. Another look at just Trent McDuffie making a play.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Is Tireks maybe trying to do too much there?
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Guess that's your slot cornerback on the All Pro team.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Tret McDuffie.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Congrats to Miy McDaniel talking it out with the Folks.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Largest halftime definit of the season for Miami. Third quarter,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: trailing twenty one to seven. Raheem Moster cuts it up
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and we've got, as people like to say, a ball game.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I say it's a ball game when the game starts.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But whatever does Dolphins trail twenty one to fourteen. He
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: had eleven rushing touchdowns at that point. He would finish
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: close to the lead in the League Dolphins trailing twenty
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: one fourteen more were he Moster another big game, nineteen
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: yards into Chiefs territory.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: One last time they gave him the ball though, that
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: was it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Come on, Mahomes is watching like, don't give the ball
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: to Moster.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: They did not. Four plays later, it's fourth and ten.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Tua can't take the bad snap. Connor Williams has the
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: ball go wide left. Tua finished with one hundred and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: ninety three yards and a touchdown as that ball goes
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to the dirt. Dolphins lose their third game of the season,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: all to team's over five hundred and at that point,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: we had a lot of football left to play, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: we've got these teams back at it again in the
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: wild Guard Round. The rematch Saturday night in kc Tyreek
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Hill's first trip back since being traded to the Dolphins.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Temperatures expected to be negative thirty with the windshield yanks.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Would you go to this game and how do you
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: see the game going?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I would not go to this game.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I mean it's too much like it's more fun to
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: just watch at home, especially when it's going to be
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: a defensive struggle like that game. The first tip I
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: have the Chiefs winning this game twenty to seventeen. But
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: I feel better about the Dolphins threading that needle, maybe
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: even getting the win and the number being below that
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: forty four, than I do about either of the team.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: It's partly because of these highlights we just watched. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: want to show you again. You see right here this
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: long score by the Chiefs. Yeah, the Chiefs haven't had
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: any scores this long on offense this year. They've only
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: had two scores over twenty five yards since Tyreek Hill
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: left the team. They also didn't score any points in
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: the second half. This was a defensive dominated game, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: these two defenses are really sound. You think, Okay, the Dolphins,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: they're not the same defensively as they were back then. Well,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: they just gave up fourteen points to the Bills last
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: week there were seven on the putt reser. They give
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: up fourteen points to the Chiefs. Here, they do not
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: give up big plays. I went back to watch this game.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: They really made the Chiefs earn their yards, and then
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I think the Chiefs defense will be enough to get
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: the win. They can stop the running game just enough,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: get the blitzes going, and they win a close game.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I just can't pick against Mahomes at home in the playoffs.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: But defense wins either way.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: I'm with you on that, and also, Dolphins don't like
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: to swim in really icy water. I have Kansas City
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: taking this one by more than a needle thread. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: have twenty six to twenty five in this matchup in
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: the cold. I do want to point out Miami has
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: kind of reached this threshold of injuries and one era
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: that will show up with maybe even one of their
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: best players still in the field, meeting Jalen Ramsey. I
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: still think the secondary is going to have a hard
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: time in this one. Why because the front's not going
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: to be there to be able to really get that
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: pressure on and figure out a way to stop them.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: So I'm sitting here being like, what do they do before? Okay,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: well you had the split safety shell. That's how they
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: slowed down Tyreek Hill. Then you had the ability for it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: So just watching this and you're like, Okay, there's just
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: too many things on this side of the ball. Kansas
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: City secondary, it's gonna be too important for that.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: And I'm also going to take the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I do have the Miami Dolphins being closer than that
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: four and a hell points's twenty seven to twenty five.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: The weather is going to make things very, very tough,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: and it depends on the way things look before the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: game in terms of the actual score, precipitation wise and
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: all that sort. But I'm looking at the difference in
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks for these teams because the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: only reason that the Chiefs had their best defensive player
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: out on the field was to make himself some absolute money.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Was Chris Jones looking for one point twenty five million
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: dollars in Week eighteen and he got it. He only
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: played fifty five percent of the snaps. Compare that to
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Melvin Ingram playing his third game of the season, his
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: most snap since twenty twenty. It was just a lot.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: The Dolphins defense is so hurt, and look at this,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: like Travis Kelcey's over there celebrating. You can see Patrick Mahomes,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the be all these guys that aren't playing, Like the
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: only thing that they did in Week eighteen was come
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: dap up Chris Jones after he got paid. So it's
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: just it's tough to pick the Dolphins considering the wave
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: of injuries, especially to Jaalen Lodel and Tyreek playing through that.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: It's it's tough. Let's go listen to this or that guy.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Starting with the two quarter two passing touchdowns. Who's more
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: likely Tua or Patrick Mahomes more.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Likely as Patrick Mahomes, I believe in this game, if
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I had to choose, I would say neither but Mahomes
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Against this Dolphins secondary, they are without big time starter
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Xavi and Howard in this game, Javon Holland, their safety
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: has been banged up at Andy Reid comes up with
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: great red zone play calls.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: And I know it hasn't been smooth this year, but.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: If I was going to pick one or the other,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: I think the Dolphins are going to score on the ground,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: and I think Andy Reid, with a little extra week
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: he was watching that Dolphins game last week, will come
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: up with some good red zone plays for Patrick Mahomes something.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Who's more likely to have six receptions Tyreek Hill or
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: his old team met Travis Kelsey.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: It's a trick question. Oh, They're both going to have
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: at least six receptions in this matchup. We saw Travis
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: Kelcey do something that really is like a good team move,
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: meeting he didn't play last week to get those extra
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: sixteen yards to get to a thousand yards, which means
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: they'll probably feed him a little bit more, especially in
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: the red area. We talked about how decimated the defenses
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: for the Dolphins. On the other side, Mike McDaniel knows
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: that Travis Tyreek Hill, he can run really fast even
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: if it's super cold. He's actually played in Arrowhead before.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: There's some footage there.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: If you're looking for it, you know, So when you're
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: looking at the opportunity there, put your best player in
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: the opportunity to catch the most balls and get to
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: the end zone. So I think both coaches are the
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: reason why each person will be fed.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Both little Jalen Ramsey Travis Kelce matchup though that could
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: make it tough.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: We'll see worried about that and depending on because like,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: do you want a whole lot of Jalen Ramsey on mvs?
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know the Chiefs are looking for that. So
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I think both teams won't want to run the ball,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: so sixty five or more rushing yards. I will take
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Pacheco in that one over Devon Han because the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Chiefs have ran the ball and they ran the ball
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: very successfully with Isaiah Pacheco, and when the ball is
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: about as firm as a rock or diamond again in
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: negative thirty, perhaps win Hill. I think the run game
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: is going to be important to both teams coming up
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: in this game that we're very much looking forward to.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: We got more games because still to come. Matthew Stafford
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: returns to Detroit for the first time since being traded
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: to the to the Rams for draft picks and for
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Jared Golf which former number one pick is gonna send
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: their squad through to the next round. We're talking Rams
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Lions next on game debut. It's Matthew Stafford going back
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: to Motown for the first time since being traded to
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the Rams. The Lions haven't won a playoff game again.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe this will be the last time you hear before
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the game since nineteen ninety two. Something's got to give
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: in this one great.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I want both of these teams to win. Some of
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: these are my two favorite teams in the playoffs.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Eight.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: You gotta choose one, and I'm gonna choose the one
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: with the better quarterback.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: It's Matthew Stafford. There's a reason why they gave up
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: all that to get them thirty three to thirty for
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the Rams.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: But I'm gonna talk about the defense because sometimes in
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: a game that's dominated by offense, it's about the defense
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: that can get one or two big plays.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I think you get it from Kobe Turner and Aaron Donald.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Interior pressure is what bothers Jared Goff more than anything.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: The Detroit offensive line is great. Frank Ragnow think he
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: got second team All Pro at center. He's great. But
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: if there is any weakness in this line, it is
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: probably at the guard positions. Kobe Turner finished the season
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: so strong, has a chance to win Defensive Rookie of
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: the Year. Has numbers next to Aaron Donald. No defensive
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: tackle has ever had. Aaron Donald still the guy number
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: one Pro in terms of the All Pro. Ten sacks
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: for him, nine for Turner. I think they get after
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Jared Goff and it's a really well played offensive game.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Golf has been so much better than the throw in
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: for this trade, but it's the defensive tackles who make
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: the difference.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I also have the Rams winning all right this one,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: twenty six to twenty five in a very very close game,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: and it kind of highlights the folly of sports discussion
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: where only one team gets to be happy, only one
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: team gets to celebrate. But this Lion's team is still special.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: But also again, we've made Cynthia.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: We're on her bad list now.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: But I mean, I've been wrong plenty of times this season,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: in fact, But let's just discuss a really good Rams
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: player that we might have forgotten over the course of
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: the season because he was playing hurt. And that's Cooper Cup.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: But check the check the numbers, folks. In the past
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: few weeks, Cooper Cup has been playing much better. In
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: weeks fourteen through seventeen, he caught twenty six of his
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: thirty six targets for over three hundred yards. Sixty of
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: those yards were over expected. They remember just how good
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: everything was once Cooper Cup got going, and then in
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the playoffs Odell got well. Kouka and Naku has been
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: playing spectacular all year. I just think that duo makes
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: it very tough. I've got the Rams, listen.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: I love both of you very much, but screw you.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: I'm taking the Lions here. The math and the heart
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: there on one side. Yeah you guys, yeah yeah, make
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: that little prime number. I'm glad to get it on
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: my Motor City Kitties twenty nine to twenty five. They're
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: gonna nice cozy blanket because they're covered. Anyways, I want
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: to talk about Aman Rossain Brown. Do you listen to
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: any sort of broadcast about the Lions you hear you
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: know what that Inbreaker to Alman Ross Saint Brown is
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: really where Jared Goff makes us. Hey, let me tell
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: you they're not lying when they say that seven hundred
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: and forty one yards on inbreaking routes ranks number three
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: in the NFL this season. And by the way, you
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: know who ranks ninth in them. They're rams defense and
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: giving them up. So if you're looking for a little
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: bit of fun here, look for Aman Ross Saint Brown.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: And you talked about you know what, is the interior
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: pressure being the thing that Jared Goff hates the most?
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: I think the thing he hates the most is.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: All said it not me.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say people underestimating his ability and maybe
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: trading him away.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, you guys went with the full name.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying the opportunity here, and you know who
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: loves a narrative, Good old Danny Boy. Sorry, Kyle, we'll
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: probably have to name our next dog Dan to go with.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: There it is.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Kyle, this is I feel like the five years
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: of doing game debut has led to this moment.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Cynthia. I hope you can stick it in our eye
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: next week.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Also breaking news, Gordy, you're gonna get a sibling. He's
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: apparently getting another dog top. Some player props coming up
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: for this game more or less Greg one and a
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: half passing touchdowns for the man in the Ultimate Revenge
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Game Jared.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, I'm just gonna hold this up for more.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Why not, Let's go Jared Goff. I think look at
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: my score has got to be thirty three to thirty.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: I think Jared Goff's gonna play well in this game.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Sean McVay talked this week about his real regrets of
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: how he handled the Jared Goff departure as a human,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: as a man, as a relationship. These two guys accomplished
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: so much together, and I think McVeigh has regrets about
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: how he handled it, but they also might have regrets
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: about like, Wow, Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson are getting
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: more out of Jared Goff, and I think having him
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: play at a better level than they ever did. So
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: that's impressive from the Lions, and I got to give
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: credit to Goff for really adding to his game a
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: few more second reaction plays out of GoF He used
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: to just kind of be a statue back there.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: All right, So Matthew Stafford more or less than two
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy two passing yard.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: I've been going to go with less on this one.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Not because I don't like Matthew Stafford and I don't
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: think that Puka Nukol will get in the end zone,
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: because I absolutely do, but I think they'll run the ball.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: Kyron Williams has been exceptional. So this isn't an anti
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: Stafford take or a pro Lions defense take because you
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: know I'm not going there, but I am going for
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: the fact that Kyen Williams will take some of those
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: yards away.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: From the passing. They're not going to boost Stafford in Detroit, right,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: every single.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Lions fan became a Rams fan for that Super Bowl.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: So now we're like, can't you just like love us
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: back for a little like let us along?
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Thirty two years is a long time love us back.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I'll take Kyin Willims. Speaking of Kyen Williams, I think
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: he will have more than one hundred and two total yards.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: It's a very nice position to beat the single back
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: in a Sean McVay offense. And speaking of Sean v
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: revenge games, Jared golf a huge way cam Aker has
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: had was looking forward to an opportunity. Hopefully he gets back.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Speaking of ruined relationships in Los Angeles, but I think
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Kyra Williams has a big game as well in what
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: might be a RAMS win, but it could also be
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: a line I've got. I've got a close game. Cynthia's focused,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: she's locked in, gonna get this.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Lines with Please tell me any sort of I don't
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: believe in like doing weird things, but I'll try that
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: for this game.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: I'll try anything.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Sitting in different spots, wearing a different shirt, I don't
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: even care. I don't believe that they're true, but I
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: gotta try.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: Long, you gotta try.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I don't believe in weird things, but I'm gonna try.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Moving on to the Cowboys and Packers, these teams have
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: had epic playoff matchups. Who could forget their meeting in
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: twenty fourteen.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: First playoff beating between the Cowboys and the Packers. Since
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: December thirty first, nineteen sixty seven.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I nobody, you're coming up.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Anything. You've got sixty cowboys those street what do Waits
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: pumps steps up, fires the income touch step and the
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Packers on the board first not a my droop.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: Play action fake throws at the clutch in the right
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: flat and Toddler Klutz catches it and walks in.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: For the Cowboys touchdown. They blitz up the middle.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: He throws right. Williams caught it and broke a tackle
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: at the thirty turns left twenty five getting the downfield block.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: He's going all the way touchdown. Terrence Williams take down
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: a baby takedown and off Murray and left guard. He
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: walks the dog right in the door back to throw
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: pressure coming throws it over the middle. Tot Adam's thirty
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: first down twenty makes the right turn to the tent
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: to the five touchdown Green Bay.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Fight.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Here's the snapping first and tent and Rogers.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: Escapes left fos the left side of the endside. He's
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: touchdown looking bluffs to.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: The left side and it is cut to the end
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: by des Bryant.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy throwing the challenge flag.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Did the ball come out after view. It has been
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: determined that the receiver did not maintain.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Oh my God, prayer answered.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: SoC for winning moves present Abody into it TurboTax Cowboys
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: fans eight. About five years later, the NFL did rule
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: that that was a catch and doesn't necessarily help you out.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: But the Packers and Cowboys scoring all Saturday in Dallas.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: The Cowboys haven't lost a game at home since September
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: twenty twelve. Who this the streak continue, Cynthia.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: I guess my question is do they have any thoughts
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: about calls potentially being.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Different than the ones we saw?
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: No, I'm just kidding. We're going to win this game.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Twenty nine to twenty one is my score in this
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: pitch of a nice, healthy win. Why Because I don't
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: know who this Green Bay defense is. If you look
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: at their past three win streak games, you're like, wow,
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: you can.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Stop the run. Who knew?
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: But then if you dial back and you look at
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: what's happened since Week ten, they've allowed one hundred and
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: eighteen rushing yards over expected. That rings twenty fourth in
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: the league. They have different characteristics for different games, and
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: now you have the situation where Ceee Lamb is going
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: to try to eat your lunch, and then you got
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: to try to stop Tony Pollock, and then you're going
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: to try to figure out like what happens with any
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: of the other receivers and maybe even the tight end.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: So I just don't think that this is going to
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: end very well for them.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: I'm with you. I think we do know who they're
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: what their defense is.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: It's not good and that's why they're gonna lose thirty
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: four to thirty one. It's gonna be a score fest.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: The Cowboys get the victory. I'm gonna talk Packers, but
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I am giving the same score as the last time
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: these teams played in the playoffs, the divisional round where
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers broke Dak Prescott's hard as a rookie. It's
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: revenge for the Cowboys, but it's gonna be close because
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: of the receivers in Green Bay. So I feel very
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: good that Green Bay can keep it closer than seven
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: and a half. And it's because of these rookies.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: People just don't know.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Dantavian Wicks and Jayden Reid are those dudes. The more
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: I watched Ontavian Wicks, I realized like he can do
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: it all. We're at a point here in the playoffs
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: where even if Kristin Watson is healthy, there is no
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: doubt in my mind he is the third most talented
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Packers wide receiver.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: That is crazy. They hit two home runs. Like Wicks
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: is physical, he has great hands.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: He can run any route, and a lot of these
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: routes you're seeing from Jayden Reid especially, are over the
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: middle of the field. And you look at the linebackers
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: and some of the safeties and coverage for Dallas and
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: the way Jordan Love is playing a little more on
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: him later, and I think they are gonna cook. I
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: think it's gonna be a classic, just like the one
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: I saw. What was that eight years ago? Now seven
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: years ago? But this time the Cowboys win at thirty
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: four to thirty one.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got a high scoring game as well, and
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I also we can make it unanimous. Got the Dallas
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Cowboys winning this one twenty eight to twenty four. I'm
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: just looking over because the Bears offensive line could not
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: protect justin fields towards the end of the game, and
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: that's what got the the in this game. And I
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: really think that Dak Prescott and the Dallas front are
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: going to have a much better game against Green Bay.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: But Cynthia mentioned CD Lamb. It's been very difficult to
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: cover CD Lamb. CD all season long. He's got more
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: yards over expected against man coverage than anybody ever since
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: we started tracking that in next Gen stats. That's seven
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: years of data, number one. But he also had over
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: one hundred yards against zone in Week ten against the Giants.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Week two against the Jets went over one hundred and
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: thirty yards against zone coverage. News flash, it's difficult to
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: cover ceede Lamb and this Packers defense has had difficulty
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: covering us when the pressure doesn't get there late this season.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Unanimous from the folks here on game debut still become.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: The Eagles have lost five of their last six.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Will Jalen and the Birds right the ship on Monday Night?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Will they run right into the cannons in Tampa? Are
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: picks for Eagles? Bucks?
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Next?
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't get a debut.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: It's not for pizza.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: Pizza.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Pregame predictions delivered by Little Caesars as is our show.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: The Eagles and Bucks meet again. They met back in
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: week three. The Eagles have lost five of their last
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: six games. They're very hurt, but can they turn it
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: all around and get a playoff win in Tampa?
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Munday, I mean they could. This is a show of probabilities.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: They never want to speak in absolutes, but I don't
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: think they will. I have the Bucks winning this game
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: twenty to seventy. And sometimes it's not about logic or
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: which players are better. Sometimes it's about vibes and something
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: bigger than football. Something's rotten with this Philadelphia team. So
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: I feel like they just are going to find a
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: way to lose it. And it reminds me of a
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: couple of years ago when these two teams played in
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: the wildcard round then, and it's just thinking back. It's
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: funny how we go full circle sometimes. Jalen Hurts really
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: struggled against the Blitz in that game, and we got
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: a whole annoying offseason about like can this guy really
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: go through his progressions be the quarterback that they need?
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Because Todd Bowles cooked him up pretty good for a
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: young quarterback. He responded had an incredible season a year ago.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: I think he's had a very good season this year.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Top ten.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: He is not the problem in Philadelphia, but he has
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: struggled with blitzes in general. He's faced last week more
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: big blitzes than any team in the league. He struggled
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: last week against the Giants and Todd Bowles when they
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: played each other. The first time sent blitz is seventy
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: five percent of the time, and I know the Eagles
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: won that game easily. Jalen Hurts had one of his
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: worst games of the year. So I think they get
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: enough help from their defense in Tampa, and we know
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: the defense in Philadelphia just doesn't exist. I mean, it's
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: been a disaster. That's the reason why they've been falling apart. Sorry,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: they just very frustrating.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I agree with that.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: I also agree with the winner. I have twenty four
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: to twenty three in this Tampa Bay taking this one
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: at home. The interesting part for me is what's happens
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: as Matt Patricia took over. Well, they're not pressuring the
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: quarterback anymore. So what's different for Baker Mayfield in this matchup?
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: The deep pass?
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: It's gonna work out a lot better. Last time the
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: deep passing, he was three of ten, sixty two yards
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: in interception on passes of ten plus arears. I don't
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: forecast that to be the case, and this one, I
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: told you, less pressure with Matt Patricia coordinating means a
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: little bit more time for both Mike Evans to get
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: down the field.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: Maybe my little Chris Goodwin, let's throw.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: That in there, whatnot.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: And also Dave Canallys has really figured out throwing the
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: ball to Rashad White. So all of those things combined,
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: shake him up, put him on the field, and you
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: get a nice win for Baker Mayfield, who's just exceeded
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: expectations at every turn of the season.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, succeeding expect Congratulations on a great season, Baker Mayfield.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: It is not unanimous. I will take the Eagles, the
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: defending AFC champions, to win this game on the road
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: in Tampa. And a lot of it comes down to because, yes,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: the Eagles have struggled down the stretch, but things necessary
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: haven't necessarily been great for Tampa coming down towards the end.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Remember last week, Baker Mayfield playing in Carolina, he was
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: over and passes ten yards down the field, did not
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: complete one in the entire game. Yes, there were win
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: gus up to twenty nine miles an hour during the game,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: but Baker Mayfield has been dealing with an ankle injury.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: He's been dealing with rib injuries. Did not practice all
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: week until Friday, where he was a limited participant. That
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: is enough for me to give the Eagles this win
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: and revenge for that game Greg talked about before they
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: went on their Super Bowl run. Let's get some props here.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Notable props for Eagles bucks and Super wild Card weekend.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Baker at one and a half passing touchdowns, Mike Evans
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: at sixty seven and a half receiving yards, god Win
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: at four and a half catches, DeAndre Swift at fifty
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: nine and a half rush yards, and Rashad White at
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: ninety two and a half yards from scrimmage. Let's do
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: some math on Mike Evans. Cynthia Fandel hasn't projected for
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: sixty seven and a half receiving yards.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: Well, I looked at the opportunity when less pressure has
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: been on Baker Mayfield, and you know what happens. He
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: gets down the field about four or five more yards
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: in between. So that means that for each reception you
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: think he's going to get, add four or five yards
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: to that deep pass. That drives his number up less
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: pressure from the Eagles, more opportunity for Mike Evans. I
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: think the thing that could slow him down would be
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: the end zone because they also have him getting a
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: touchdown that could limit his total yards. But I still
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: think that it's more than sixty seven and a half.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: You know what's crazy.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: They have seven defensive starters still from that Super Bowl team,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: and then they got Mike Evans and Chris got.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: A lot of Super Bowl Championship experience here still.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Oh the experience. It's God. They won their game. It's
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: time for winning Moves presented by Intuit Turbo Tax and
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: that win against the Dolphins is the reason the Bills
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: get to host a playoff game against the Steelers, the
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: number seven seed. This is Highmark Stadium covered in snow.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: The Bills asking for shoveling volunteer Saturday night to get
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: the stadium ready for Sunday, offering twenty dollars an hour,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: so shovel slowly, free flood as well, and shovels to
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: those eighteen years or older interested in helping some go
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: don't dig out the stadium so they can play a game.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh coming into Buffalo having won three straight with Mason
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Rudolph under center, but they will be missing TJ. Watt.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: That enough of a factor, Cynthia, It sure is.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: I have Buffalo.
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: Now I'm looking at this twenty five to eighteen. That
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: number feels quite high, but I'm gonna stay with the
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: margin because I really care about that a lot. I'm
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: looking at the opportunity here for the Bills. By the way,
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: here's a fun fact to watch. Whenever the Bills kick
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: it off. The man who comes to get the tee
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: after they time him so in the snow. It's gonna
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: be really funny to see. It's a big Twitter thing.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: It's very funny. So look out for that. But on
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: the other side of the ball, I want to give
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: some love to Najie Harris. I feel like I haven't
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: said enough nice things about the Steelers this season, and
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: Naji Harris is back to back games of one hundred
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: plus yards. He actually has one thousand yards first third straight,
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: third straight season and he's only Steeler to have done that,
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: so it's a really special moment. And he also has
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: five plus receiving yards over expected on twenty seven rushes
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: this season, which is tied for the third most in
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: the NFL. He'll be a big factor this one. I
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: don't necessarily think it's going to be enough, but I
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: want to give him as props because he had a
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: excellent end to the season.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: You just made Patrick so happy. And I've been a
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: bit of a doubter. I have to admit last week
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Naja Harris is like, this guy is a mutter. This
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: is where you need a little Naja Harris. You know
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: who else is great in rough conditions running the ball?
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen. He's the best runner in this game. I
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: don't care about James Cook or Jalen Warren or Naja Harris.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: It's Josh Allen running season.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Last two weeks have been his two highest carry totals
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: of the season, fifteen and eleven. When it gets cold,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: he realized it's winning time. It's time to run. You
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: remember his rookie year. Actually it was at the very
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: end of it. He just started running like rookie year
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Cam Newton. Now he's still Cam Newton running the ball,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: and he's Brett Favre passing the ball. And sometimes it
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: gets a little crazy, but we don't really recognize that
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: as a runner, he is one of a kind. Number
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: one in terms of value as a runner in QBR
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: from twenty twenty one twenty twenty three, So it's not
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: even close. Part of that is Lamar's been injured, but
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: he is the most valuable running quarterback in the NFL.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Being said about Josh Allen, They're not in this game
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: if not for the defense and the way that they
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: played towards the end of the season. Let's talk about
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: playing the secondary, because the Bills have been very, very good.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Let's go back since Week ten. They've given up eight
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: passing touchdowns ten interceptions. Quarterbacks have been forced to scramble
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: on eight percent of the dropbacks. It's the second highest
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: in the league since Week ten. I'm imagining the snow
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: blowing around and Jason Rudolph trying to throw on the run,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: something he hasn't necessarily had to do during this three
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: game win streak. I think it's just tough to ask
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers to go in here against this Buffalo
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: defense at home again, a game that they would not
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: maybe not even be playing, especially not at home, if
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: not for a herculion effort. Shout out quick word against
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins. Let's do more or less Quarterback Edition,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Greg more or less than one and a half passing
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: touchdowns for that man, Josh Allen.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: So I am gonna go less because I think he's
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: gonna get it on the ground. He ran for fifteen
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: rushing touchdowns this year. We know, Oh, the weather's not
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: going to be bad. The totals that we had up there,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: I do wonder if they're a little too high. But
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know what to say about weather, like, yeah,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: it probably is going to hurt, especially if it's windy.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: It'll hurt the passing game. And so I think in
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: the red zone you want to run.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: But what more can you say about whether other than
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: like the great Michael Irvin once said that when when.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: We played it, it was cold, cold was cold. That
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: was it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: I met that up so boch old is cold, but
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: you got the essence of it. Let's go to another
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: quarterback for some passing numbers. Dak Prescott more or less
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: than two hundred and seventy five passing.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I have more.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: They play inside Ceedee Lamb is there. We don't know
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: if jyr Alexander's going to play. Even if he does,
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: he hasn't been looking like himself this season. That's their
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: best quarter they traded a waiver school Douglas. He's going
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: to be in the snow in Buffalo if he's playing,
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: if he's not injured. I mean, there's just too many
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: things here where they're gonna get like everyone of all.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: This could be even a game where you see like
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: a like a really fun like Brandon Cook's like ninety
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: yard or something crazy like that.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: This is a perfect Sunday afternoon. Yeah, this touchdowns all
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: over the place.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Game and we'll be able to see the game and
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: the players evolved all the field because it's I love.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: A snow game.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Though I'd love to be an arrowhead. I'd love to
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: be like all these things are fun. I don't know
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: what you crazy people are talking.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I like, I just like to see the game.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: I go shovel. I like seeing the best players being
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: able to play at their best, and it's fun.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: You have to be able to deal with the elements.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Sure, or you can be Tom Coughlin and your face
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: can oh yeah, that was scary.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Keep those warmers and don't put them directly on your skin.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: C J.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Stroud one and a half passing touchdowns. I've got more,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: even though I've got the Texans losing this game. I
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: do not think that they will ever stop throwing sp
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: and why would you when you got CJ. Stroud as
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: your quarterback. They they did manufacture some points against Cleveland.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: It's like a kick return as a defensive score. It's
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: this is not case, keenu.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: C J.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Stroud is going to have more other one and a
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: half passing touchdowns against the Browns. Coming up, we're diving
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: into our favorite over unders for Super wild Card weekend.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Which stars are about to bring the pain and light
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: up the school board? Find out as you're watching game
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: debut delivered by Little Caesars. All right, so let's look
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: at some over unders on Super wild Card weekend. Folks
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: are expecting a score fest between Matthew Stafford and the
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Rams against the Lions. Maybe not so much at Hallmark
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Stadium down there at thirty three and a half, the
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Packers and the Cowboys almost coming for that number one
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: spot with fifty and a half points. So, speaking of,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: let's do some over under and talk about some of
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: these matchups that we're looking forward to on Wildcard. We
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: get started with Super Wildcard. We get started with the
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Rams and the Lions at fifty one and a half.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: I am going to take the under here. That's a
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: lot of points, and I do think there are some
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: defensive plays made as well as a lot of action
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: on the ground, maybe not as much opportunity. So I've
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: got fifty one, a lot of points, but not quite
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: the number.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Of the thing I am going over here.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: The only concern would be here if the Rams slowed
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: down the game with a lot of these long drives,
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: a lot of running, and that takes the time away
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: from the lines. But either way, there's not gonna be
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: many stops. I'm gonna say total number of stops in
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: this game three.
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: I don't have as many stops as you, but I
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: have more points than I have. Fifty four total points
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: in this matchup, I think both Puka Nakua and Amine
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: Rossi Brown get into the end zone. I don't know
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: why I'm talking like that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: But yes, there it is.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the Packers and the Cowboys. That is
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: set at fifty and a half, and I have got
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: the over here as we because I think up and
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: down the field both teams. I will go at some point,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: maybe a defensive score as well. But Joe Barry's defense,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: despite a solid performance in the final week of the
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: season has been very welcoming to opposing offense.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: So I peeped your score and he goes over fifty two,
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: I'm topping him over sixty five.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: I don't mess around with my overs.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: You're gonna be, you know, relaxing and enjoying this one
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: in the late third quarter when they get to sixty points.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I just don't trust the Cowboys defense either. Their success
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: rate in terms of stopping the pass has been terrible
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: over the last two months.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Let's go points.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: I'm going with fifty points, which is less than fifty
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: and a half. When I'm looking at both teams opportunity
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: to run the football, it is high, which means fewer
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: points because that takes the time off the clock, so
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: you have fewer total points.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the lowest over under of
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: the week, thirty four and a half in high Mark Stadium.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, thirty thirty three and a half points. And
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: as that number kept declining along with the projected temperatures,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I couldn't I couldn't get low enough. I've got the
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: over here and this one just barely thirty four points
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: for me twenty one to thirteen. It doesn't feel like
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: It's kind of crazy.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: I'm going over as well. I'm gonna go double over.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Is that allowed the running games can rip off some
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: big games? You know, it wouldn't be fun in the
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: cold tackling Josh Allen or Josh Nase Harris, Like you
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: can see some long runs in this game.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: I have the over as well.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: I just think that sometimes when you have slop weather
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: like this, the defensive score touchdowns too, and that counts
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: for six points.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: So over, yeah, those count. It's time for write this
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: down because we got some notes and some predictions for
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Super wild Card weekends. Start us off gren Rope.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: I feel so good about this one. I asked, what
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: is the number for touchdowns for Jordan Love this week?
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: It must be two and a half four. This guy's
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: maybe the best quarterback league. It's only one and a half.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: Let's go way over that. I looked at the league
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: as a whole, and I think, who is playing better
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: at quarterback, like, for sure than Jordan Love right in
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: your pizza hill right here, A big fat zero, Like
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: there's other people in the area code, but that's how
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: well Jordan Love is playing right now. He is seeing
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: the field in slow motion. And this Cowboys team, they
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: give up a lot of yards and they give up
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: some points. They're not unstoppable. They forced turnovers. But I
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: love me some Jordan.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: Loveche's head, cheese pillow.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's all the same. I love it. Okay.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: So my dad told me that you never go broke
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: taking a profit, and you know what, I think that
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: is really served me well getting here to this week.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: Jamiir Gibb his longest rush. I think he's gonna rush
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: for at least nineteen yards in one play. It's really
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: all that simple. Why Because this guy's explosive and this
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: O line has really set themselves up for success. They've
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: had a whole bunch of like David Montgomery here, Jamier
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: Gabbs is there. They're all gonna run and sometimes maybe
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: even the offensive lineman. How about but Jamior Gibbs explosive
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: play at least nineteen on.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Like my game, picks have been solid, but nothing has
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: been more successful than Armor game.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: He told me they pick never go broke, take it
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: a profit.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: The minute Cynthia saw it, it was on. It's a
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: love affair that oh it ten ues to this today
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I've got one. It's another love affair that continues to
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: the say Travis Kelcey.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: And Patrick Mahomes, that relationship still.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Go, it still works. He only had four targets against
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Miami in that win over in Germany. I think that
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: number goes up. I think we'll have more than sixty
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: receiving yards. Some spots that number is at fifty seven.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: So look, have no idea, take take yards, enjoy them
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: because Travis kelce I think, has a big game, but
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: also looking forward to Cynthia's Lions playing.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Lion win. That's my big write this down, Lions win.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: So there, please Lions win. The last thing you write down,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: we'll see it next week here on game Debut.
