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

  Speaker 1: in partnership with iHeartRadio.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Everybody Wellhome. The Game Deview presented Ony Mercedes Ben's Packer
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Claybon back here with Greg Rosendald Cynthia Freeland here to
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: get you set for the majority of the Week fourteen schedule.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: As playoff time is nearing, Greg, we're in that push.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: I love this time of year. It's fantasy push. It's
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: our picks push like we're hot right now. Cynthia's picks
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: are going wild.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: I want that giant red bow. I was just thinking
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: about that, like from the can we get like a
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: giant red Mercedes bow, like from the car? Who doesn't
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: want that?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so fun.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: It could go right on this table.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yep, we'll put it up. In fact, you can send
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: a car with it because things are going that kind
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of way. Cynthia went fourteen in two. I was able
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to pick up a game on Greg. As we look
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: at our standings, I am miird in a giant black
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: hole of sadness and destitution at one hundred and twenty
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: eight and sixty seven. But Greg in fifty nine with
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Cynthia Nippin at his hill heels. Excuse me, Greg, I'm
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: on a hill.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: He's gonna die on that hill. I'm nipping at that hill.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, on both Greg, the MVP of our picks thus far,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen might end up being the MVP of the league.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Buffalo winning seven in a row and Allen is playing
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: like Superman. Allen and the Red Hot Bills heading to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: LA to take on the Rams. Buffalo chasing the top
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: seed in the AFC, the Rams still in the playoff hunt.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: But Cynthia, could this be a letdown game for the Bills?
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: No, I mean it could be, Absolutely it could be.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: But I project a six point win for the Bills
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: twenty seven to twenty one out here at SOFI Stadium.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Why because matchups make four fights and this one does
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: not bode well for the Los Angeles Rams. In terms
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: of what happens when this Bills defense sees motion, The
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: answer is bad things for posing offenses. And you know
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: who likes to use motion ahead of the snap? Who's
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: that the Rams? See how that works. But ultimately, when
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: you're looking at some of the places of this Bills defense,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: which I will admit I was a little bit of
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: a skeptical person, about this defense ahead of the season.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: They have exceeded expectations. They're getting healthier. Greg Russo's awesome.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: And when I'm looking at the options here for what
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: happens when this Rams offense tries to use motion, they
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: just get shut down.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Ooh, I like that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: And it's one of the reasons they're so good against
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: motion is because Sean McDermott's been there so long, Like
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the system is good, and he's got his guys, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: he's got the guy Matt Milano back in the lineup.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I know he didn't make a lot of splash plays
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: in his first game back, but he is the quarterback
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: of this defense. And I don't think McDermott gets enough
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: credit for maximizing what his players do well. He puts
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: them in situations to succeed. This is a rematch of
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: a game just a couple of years ago. Is the
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: opening game, remember the kickoff of the Rams defending their
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl title, and that Bill's defense did a great
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: job holding down preventing big plays. And Matt Milano is
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: one of the best coverage linebackers in the league, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: that's where the Rams like to win over the middle
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: of the field.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: I think that's the difference.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I think it's close, and I think the Rams cover
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: because they're at home and the Bills are coming all
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: the way across the country.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Two good teams, but the Bills win.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I to do a great college that, Matt Malone.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying, Boston Girl.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Greg makes a lot of great points, the Bills having
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to travel across the country, the Rams keeping it close.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I agree. I think the Rams cover in this one
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: because I think the Rams win this football game.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: I see and.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, give me a stray bound here as it's just
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I wrote it. I wrote it down, Pukainakua. It explains,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: it explains the whole situation. This is the reasoning for
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: me making this pick because the last time the Buffalo
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Bills played a real number one that was playing good
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: football with a healthy quarterback, it was CJ. Stroud throwing
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the ball to Nico Collins, who actually hurt himself on
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a long touchdown running away from these Buffalo Bills. And
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: then they go on a stretch where I guess Tyreek
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Hill and Jalen one of the best receivers that they played,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: where it's it's just different. And so five Stadium, late
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: in the season with not just Pooking a cool but
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Cooper Cup And I think the Rams have a puncher's
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: chance in this one, and I'm gonna take that chance
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and take a loss.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: This is a pixel bald.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: They move this game all the way up to first
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: this stray bond, wondering.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Which which is really saying something? For a guy who's
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: lasting the fix on the shows, we get this is
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the old this guy or that guy. Starting with the quarterbacks,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I think which quarterback will have more than one passing touchdown?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Is it Josh Allen and Matthew.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Steph I think it's both. However, I'm going with Josh
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Allen here as the higher probability guy. I'm looking at
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: these deep passes.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Do you know what?
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: He doesn't have a touchdown on yet a twenty plus
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: air yard pass, and I think that changes this week.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: It's kind of wild because there's twenty six quarterbacks who
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: have thrown a deep touchdown pass this season. Josh Allen
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: is not one of them. So it's wild. That is
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: that is a wild stat. So I'm looking at this
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: and I think he gets that this week.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: All Right, let's go to the running back on the ground,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Greg which running back goes for over sixty seven yards.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Is it James Cook or is it Kyen William.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I love me some James Cook this season because he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: playing behind an offensive line that has an attitude. They
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: were bragging after last week's game, saying like, we did
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: whatever we wanted against this forty nine Ers front, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: they just kept calling the same play over and over again.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: And I do think that's the weakness of this Rams
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: defense is at the linebacker level. Even the young guys upfront,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: who are great rushing the passer over time over the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: course of the game, might struggle to stop James Cook.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: All right, Buffalo Bill's chasing the Chiefs for the one
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: seed in the AFC casey with a big matchup with
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the Chargers on Sunday. These teams played earlier this year.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: For a quick look back, it's time now for Active
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: mic presented by the Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: How about him the rematch in Arrowhead? Justin Herbert won
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: six in his career against Patrick Mahomes' defense. Does he
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: get that elusive second win here? Cynthia, no no no.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I have a three point win for the Chiefs in
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: this one, twenty four to twenty one. I do want
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: to point out something that I will be keeping a
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: huge eye on, and that Isatrick Mahomes getting sacked. For
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: the past two games, he has tied his career high
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: in terms of number of sacks in the game five
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: five far. That's a wild situation. In two games in
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: a row. The left tackle situation is a problem for them.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: They need to figure it out if they want to
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: go from a team that has a nice playoff situation,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: like he said, situation like eight times just now, and
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: if they want to actually play in that game that
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: happens in New Orleans, They're going to have to figure
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: out the left tackle because Patrick Mahomes cannot be under
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: this type of pressure, especially if they're not a team
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: that is crushing teams by you know, huge margins one
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: possession games. They lead the entire league in them. But
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: if your quarterback is under duress constantly, it increases your
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: opportunities for turnovers. The whole thing is scary.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: So, like Cynthia, I'm gonna say that the Chiefs are
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: gonna win, and then I'm gonna say something kind of
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: negative about them and positive about the Chargers. It's eighteen
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: to seventeen. I have the Chiefs winning this game. I'm like,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Justin Herbert. I think I picked the Chargers every time
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: they play this Chiefs team, and they're one and six,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: so I got to take the Chiefs to win. But Tar,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: he's still and this Chargers defense, they're going to keep
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the score down. I really like the number to be
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: under that forty three. So that's key to me. And
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I like the Chargers to cover because of this young
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: kid and the way they're playing defense. That cornerback and
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: that coverage right there shows such a next level understanding
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the match coverage that they do. They really communicate well
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: between the secondary and the linebacker level. And it's a
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: young player that was drafted in the fifth round and
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: he's playing like a defensive Rookie of the Year candidate.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: He was Defensive Player of the Week last week after
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: these interceptions, but he's been great all year. He actually
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: leads the NFL and EPA per play allowed when he
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: is in coverage, So forget about where he was drafted.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: It's like the rest of this Chargers defense, they're better
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: than the some of their parts. We know the Chiefs
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: offense isn't explosive, so it's going to be a low
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: scoring game in Arrowhead.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Shocking that, you know, a front office that came over
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: from the Ravens knows how to pick a later round cornerback.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Shocker right there. I don't know about you, but I'm
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: totally shocked.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And also similarly, they they're a little bit thin at
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: wide receiver. Up front, there's issues. Because Cynthia was talking
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: about the problems protecting Patrick Mahomes, it's a similar situation
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: for these Chargers. In the past couple of weeks were
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: for the Chiefs. You know, Max Crosby was getting to
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. The Atlanta Falcons had ten sacks on the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: season coming into the game against Herbo and the Chargers.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Now they have fifteen. That's thirty three percent of their
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: sacks on the season. And then a Ravens defense that
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: really wasn't able to get a lot of pressure on
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the passer got home a ton in that game. In
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: so far, so, I think it's an opportunity for Spags's
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: defense to get healthy. And yeah, Greg, I've got exactly
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: forty three points and a three point Chiefs win. We
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: were all on the trend of Herbo against KC. Although
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Greg has some perturbations.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Well just you know.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Well, also, the Chargers social media is the best in
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: the entire.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't Doug come hit us?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Welcoming Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota Like I'm on psychedelics.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: That's how I feel.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: I kind of wish I run psychedelics.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: It would be I've finched myself. What is the what
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: this is real right now? Well, it's real that Kirk
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Cousins is taking on the Vikings, his Falcons on a
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: losing streak. The Vikings was one of the longest streaks
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: in the league. Right now, what happens in this.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Greg What happens is Kirk Cousins plays a Kirk Cousins games,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: which means it's going to be crazy and seeing things
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: will happen.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: And in the end, the Minnesota Vikings win.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Twenty seven to twenty three, so the Falcons cover that number.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: But we remember all the Kirk moments back in Minnesota,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: and there were a lot of great ones.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: There were a lot of.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Bad ones, okay, but what they all had in common
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: were that they were Kirk Cousins games.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: They just feel like they're all the same.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: If you can go back to Washington, you can go
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: to Minnesota and now it's happening in Atlanta.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Now. For a while in Minnesota, they were all ending well.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: He was on a streak where he was playing really
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: well in the fourth quarter. But when I looked at
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: this game, I did not want to imagine this is
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Kirk cousins last NFL start, because I think that's on
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: the table. If he threw four interceptions in this game,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I think Michael Pennix is coming in and it's over.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen. He's got to keep men. It's
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: gonna be back and forth. Insane things will happen, and
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: it will come down to the fourth quarter and they
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: will cover that number. But in the end, I just
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: don't think the Falcons can get it done defensively, but
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Kirk will play well enough.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Why are you laughing?
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Because my point is about Kirk's interceptions, So it seems
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: like I'm saying, well.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Career disagree.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: That's fine.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: No, No, we agree, Which is why I think it's funny,
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Because am I basically calling for Michael PENNI'X sure, why not?
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I have a Minnesota win twenty six to nineteen. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: want to talk about Kirk Cousins interceptions because they're real.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: He's had six of them in their losing streak, and
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: then before that he had to two game win streak
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: where he had seven touchdowns zero interceptions. He totally reversed
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: that trend zero and six. This is a big problem.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Fumbles too, Fumbles.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: He has fifteen giveaways this season. He leads the league
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: in them. So am I calling for Michael Pennitt's No,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: that would be Greg Rosenthal, ladies and gentlemen, not me.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: I'm saying I'm not calling for it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I'm recognizing where he's at in his career. Whatever he's
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: looking into the mirror or something like, it's not working
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: right now, this torn Achilles recovery.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Well, it could be a big spinny chain that's ultimately
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: going to reveal the future and like show the secrets
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: of the universe. Maybe you could take a darkness retreat.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I've got a Vikings win as well.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Mine's a significantly lower score, nineteen to thirteen, because, like
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Cynthia and Greg, I've been watching Kirk Cousins and this
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Falcons offense the past few weeks and now in a
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: game that could potentially wrap it up for Kirk Cousins.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: They go up against this Vikings defense that has veterans
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that are crafty. It can do so many different things,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: and that's all embodied in a man who has over
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: one hundred snaps as a pass rusher, over one hundred
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: snaps dropping in the coverage, over one hundred snaps as
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: a run defender. Yeah, folks, we're looking at Andrew Van
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Ginkel highlights, who embodies this defense so much. We saw
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Brian Flores step to the post rocking an AVG T shirt.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Defense dominant in this one, and the Minnesota Vikings continue
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: their win streak, and perhaps we're showing some Michael Pennock
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: junior highlights. Next week, we are all on the Minnesota
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Vikings here. We're gonna keep it in the NFC. The
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Seahawks in first place in the West. Last week, they
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: were down big then Leonard Williams delivered a game changing
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: thick six. So let's look over after that game the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: odds to win the NFC West. The Seahawks in the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: leading in the league, in the lead in this as well,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: with the Cardinals right behind them, the Rams and the
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers, who are a long shot at this point,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: but it's the Seahawks and Cardinals facing off Sundays. Seattle
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: shut down Kyler's crew just a couple of weeks ago.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Who comes out on top this time.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Around, Well, the Seahawks do. Of course, we all have
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: our biases. I can admit that, you know, I would
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: like the Seahawks to win this game, but I believe
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: that that number is too big and Seattle covers it
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: and they win straight up because they blitz well and
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray's not handling the blitz well. And that Leonard
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Williams interception made me think about this play as well,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray and the pick six. Each week Seattle is
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: giving us a magical play that Devin Witherspoon play, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: then the pick six on Kyler.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: It was the Gino Smith touchdown against forty nine ers.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: There's something a little you can't put in the numbers
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: in the model that the Seahawks have Right now, they're
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: on a winning streak and these two teams are very
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: similar to me, where the defenses are starting to outplay
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: the offenses, but the differences. I think Mike McDonald can
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: cook up Kyler against the blitz. It's close, but it's
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: twenty four to twenty three, and it's okay, Cynthia, I
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: can recognize my biases. Your model doesn't have any biases.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: But I'm I'm just a man. I'm a man with
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: emotions and human feelings.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't really have any emotions. I've decided to
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: not recognize. It took the chip out, it was done.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: My score is very similar to Greg's twenty three to
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: twenty one, A two point one.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Oh you got the Seahawks, Yes, go.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Seattle as well. I do actually have emotions. The model doesn't,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: but I do. And when I'm looking at this, I
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: wonder what DK Metcalf is going to look like. Because
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: we know Jackson Smith and jig but draws a great matchup.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: We've seen a lot of vulnerabilities for this Cardinals defense
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: to the slot and against short passes. But Dk, I
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: think this is where we see a massive decay day
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: because now we're gonna see the Cardinals try to adapt
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: to stop Jackson Smith and Jigba, who had a big
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: game against them just a couple of weeks ago. So
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: then you've still got number fourteen out on the edge.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I think this is gonna be a big difference maker.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: I think if I'm looking for a guy to have
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: a big day, he's one who I think I'm circling
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: him twice. Yeah, And I'm feeling good about it because emotionally,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I really want to see this happen. I'm I'm very
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: happy as a.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Creature also in possession of emotions. I will go solo here.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I will take the home team that goes on the
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Cardinals by a point twenty three to twenty two, which
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I feel I'm very confident that's the exact same inverse
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: of the score when I picked the Seahawks the one
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: by when I think these two teams are very, very
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: similar and it's gonna be a classic. And I think
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: that we've seen the Seahawks make some huge errors Greg
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: talk about the big We seen them make some catastrophic
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: errors where they're losing forty yards this season. But one
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: thing that has been consistent, it's the Arizona Cardinals generating
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: pressure from all sorts of different places. I thought they
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: would have trouble doing so in Seattle a couple weeks ago.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: They didn't. Guys like Mac Wilson having career years where
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: his season high in sacks for a season was three.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: He had two last week against the Minnesota Vikings. They
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: had a fifty eight percent pressure rate last season. I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: love this defense, I love the search bar, and I
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: will take the Arizona car.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I love that you picked them because I've been noticing
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: some of the comments and Cardinals fans think we disrespect them.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: They were mad when we memed them a couple of
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: weeks ago, and you know what, we were right. You
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: lost that game. But this time I'm glad that you
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: took it.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I have an affectionate nickname for them. Everything's great.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Shout out to the Arizona Cardinals. Let's do some math, though,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Cynthia Well, Gino Smith throw for more or less than
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty five yards in the football time.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm giving you more.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Number one.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: This team is the one that has the longest yards
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: to go on third down. That is why you're seeing
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: some of those pressures. So I think what they try
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: to do is on earlier downs they say, well, if
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: the run isn't gonna work, let's just throw it a
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: little bit more here. So I actually have Gino Smith
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: with something like two hundred and seventy five yards, which
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: for me, you know, I'm a conservative modeler. That means
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: that's like a significant difference from two hundred and fifty five.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Well, now that I know that, I feel that great
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: about my pick, that's a big number for Genoa. I'm
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: because the defense coming up. Folks have got a huge
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: rematch between the Steelers and Brown's ross has been cooking.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: But you know famous Jamus my House tricks up the sleeve. Well,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the quarterback who instantly makes memes shock the Steelers for
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the second time this season. Find out next on game debut,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: It's time to Seize the Season, presented by Caesars Sportsbook
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: First Touchdown Score, Odds on the Way, Najie Harrison, George Pickens,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: and Nick Chubb at the top, Jaalen Warner and Jerry
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Judy rounding out that top five. As we get into
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: this matchup in the division, we saw it a couple
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: of weeks ago in the snow. Will Jameis Winston go
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: into Pittsburgh beat the Steelers for the second time in
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: three weeks something?
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Nope?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I mean he could, but I have twenty five to
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: twenty in this matchup. This game actually has a lot
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: of implications because the Pittsburgh Steelers schedule gets very difficult
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: from here on out, so they need this one. When
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at this matchup, though, it is all about
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Jamis throwing past the sticks, which is something he does
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: the second most often in the league. This is a
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: sampling of what happens. Sometimes it's not good and it
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: results in a turnover.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: This has been a.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Characteristic that he's had for quite some time, like his
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: whole career. But sometimes it goes really really well. So
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: the deep passes connect, but so to do the ones
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: that result in pick six. So when you're looking at
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: the sampling, I mean it is no stretch. Last week
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: on the broadcast, they were saying we've got the full
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Jameis Winston experience here, but really it's those past the
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: sticks throws and putting them there are higher probability throws
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: for him to be picked off, just because the further
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: you throw, the less accurate it becomes. But ultimately that
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: is what will be the difference maker in this matchup.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the Steelers in this game. I don't
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: think it's gonna be close. I have them winning by
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: thirteen thirty to seventeen, so way over that number because
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: the Avengers are being reformed here with Pittsburgh.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: That's their pass rush.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: You get Alex Heismith back, and suddenly this group is
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: just one of the best pass rush groups I've ever seen.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Alex Heismith is a top twenty pass rusher in the
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: NFL by the numbers. Nick Herbig actually has been a
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: better pass rusher than TJ. Watt this year, who's a
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Defensive Player of the Year candidate. Herbig is so good.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, you have Hayward in the middle,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: reckon shop. So it's an offense in Cleveland that can't
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: run the ball right now, they're gonna have to be
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: so pass reliant that I think the negative plays are
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: gonna come, whether it's the sacks or the turnovers. The
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Steelers just lost this game. It's a good coach where
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: you play twice in three weeks. I think Mike Tomlin
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: gets some revenge here. And look, it's too early for
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: write this down, but write this one down. The Steelers
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: are covering this seven points.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I love you. You just stopped the Steelers fan in
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: their tracks where you were, like the numbers say, there's
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: a better rusher than DJ Watt, It's like, oh, it's
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: her big It's like, oh, I don't know how to
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: feel now. I think the difference in this game is
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: what Cynthia talked about. One team is going to throw
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: the ball because they have to the other team gets
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: to throw the ball in the situation that puts Jamis
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: and the Browns offense in so much trouble. It's a
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: beneficiary for the Steelers as Najie Harris in the run game.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Haven't count on a Najie Harris season. It's around four
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: yards of carry, but his yards for reception up over
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: two yards for his career. Because Russell Wilson gives this
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: offense something it hasn't had in a long time, and
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: that is space that they're number of their top fifteen offense.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: You have to go all the way back to one
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: of those Roethlisberger seasons and not one of the last
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: two for the last time that they did that. It's
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: been a while since they've had this amount of success
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: on offense in Pittsburgh. I think, as well as Greg
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: and Cynthia, it's another Pittsburgh Steelers win. Let's take a
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: look at the highest over unders for Week fourteen, according
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to the Deer Folks at Caesars Sports Fop Bengals Cowboys
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: at forty nine and a half. Bill's Rams also with
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: the same number paying thirds at the Eagles, phil They
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: think a lot of that is Philadelphia forty six. As
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: we get into quick picks here on game debut. Speaking
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: of that Bengals Cowboys game scoring off Monday night in Dallas,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: what do you think takes place, Cynthia, Well, we.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Saw Jamar Chase on the injury report late in the week,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: but we're gonna look at him right now because just
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: in case he doesn't play, I want to remind you
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: that this passing offense is the difference maker when it
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: looks when it comes down to Joe Brow and his
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: top pass catcher as in Uno. When he's on the field,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: his parents call it Uno time. So just so you know,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: you can be part of the Chase family and say
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: uh no time. Every time it is the offense for
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: the Bengals. It is just a terrible matchup for this
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Cowboys defense. Joe Burrow hasn't been under pressure, Jamar Chase
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: been getting opened. The man wants to earn his money.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Pay him. I mean, maybe don't, because then the longer
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: I guess the longer you wait, the higher than Mike,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: the price goes so okay, then don't pay him. It's
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: up to you.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, number goes up every single day, especially with the
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: success that he's had the Raiders and the BUF in Tampa,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas, al those knocked off the Chiefs on Black Friday?
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Do they spoil the Bucks attempt to catch the Falcons?
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Gret they make them sweat a little bit, but the
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Bucks win. They just don't cover the number twenty six
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: to twenty one. That Raiders offense has been better lately.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: And Baker Mayfield just when I'm in I'm believing in you,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: like maybe not as an MVP candidate like Patrick wants
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: to throw out there, he just starts me making crazy plays. Now,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: give Baker Mayfield credit for playing his best at the
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: end of that Panthers game, but if you watch the
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: first three quarters of that game, he was the big
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: part of the reason they were trailing. A lot of
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: bad decisions, just kind of going like creation Baker mode,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: and it wasn't going well. Some inaccurate passes, some mistakes.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: He got banged up unfortunately in the middle of that game.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: And so I just want to see the week to
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: week consistency out of Baker Mayfield. This should be a
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: matchup where they have too many weapons on offense between
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: the running game and Mike Evans being back that they get.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: It done all right, and based on our picks, they
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: would leap frog the Falcons. Let's go to the Jets
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and Dolphins, both mathematically still in the wildcard race somehow,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: but in the race for my belief, who wins this game?
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I've got the Fins twenty one to seventeen. Maybe John
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Smith gets his own Netflix documentary. His explosion has opened
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: things up.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: For Jalen Waddle last couple of weeks, He's had thirteen targets,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: caught twelve of them for one hundred and ninety seven yards,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: and against the Packers had an average separation of four
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: point eight yards. Problem for the Finns is struggling against
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: good teams. Not an issue this week as we all
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: have the Miami Dolphins. We've got more show on the
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: way here. Because some awards are complicated, you have to
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: count for storylines and personal politics. It's MESSI what about
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: the odds for the most passing touchdowns to finish the season.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Joe Burrow leaned the way at negative three point fifty
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: because he's got thirty passing touchdowns Lamar Baker, Mayfield, Sam Darnold,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen rounding it out, it's kind of right in
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: line with the number of past touchdowns they currently have.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: So Greg, five weeks left are gonna I'm gonna put
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: it on you to not be chalky here. Who's going
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: to finish the regular season with the most touchs?
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm not chocking.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can be a basic bro and takes
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: so Brady, I mean Joe Burrow rather is like negative
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: three p fifty. What's the fun in that? Let's go
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson plus two hundred. His mom got on him
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: for not running enough. But there's a reason why he's
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: so high in the passing touchdowns. He is dealing from
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: the pocket, That's how he wants to play.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: And he's got more weapons than ever.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: He is in the mix to try to get this
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: number one seed division title, and he's got more weapons
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: than he's ever had, even without Deontay Johnson.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: You know, when he comes back from the suspension.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: One thing to think about here too, is there an
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: outside chance Joe Burrow could sit down the last week
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: of the season, or there's some minor injury that comes
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: up that they just don't want to play him and
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: risk it. We know Lamar Jackson's going to be out
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: there because they're going to be gunning for that seed
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: he gets the title.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: And maybe many Mom's trying to work some defenses as well.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: She wants them to change the way that they're doing things.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Who knows. Let's take a look at some rushing odds
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: as the most rushing touchdowns to finish the season. Up. Yeah,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Derek Henry's currently leading the way, leading the way in
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: the odds. Right behind him the cornerback Jalen Hurts and
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: then his teammate Saquon Barkley. So either way, Oddsmaker cy
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: touchdowns scored in Philadelphia, Cynthia, who do you think ends
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: the season with the most rushing scores?
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: You're gonna give me Saquon Barkley at the third shortest odds.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna take it. Why because I think they want
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: him to be the MVP as well this campaign. This
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: week against the Carolina Panthers, he could have two rushing touchdowns,
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: easy peasy right there and get right up into the
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: lead with Derek Henry point being. If you're going to
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: give me that kind of value and that kind of
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: potential return on investment, I think you should run away
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: with it, just like Saquon Barkley runs away with that football.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: All right, let's flip things over to the past catchers.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: As we look at the odds for the most receiving
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: yards at the yards no Buccaneers on this list, Mark
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Chase leading the way at forty two yard. He's currently
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: leading right behind him his college teammate Justin Jefferson. So, Greg,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: we got two former Tigers leading the league and receiving
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: ones currently playing for a team that has a Tiger
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: mascot who finishes the year with the crowd.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: I'm going Justin Jefferson once again? Do you want to
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: be basic? It's minus three hundred for Chase, Like, what
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: kind of return is that?
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: It's not fun? He's down one hundred yards.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: If I'm just choosing who's the best football player, not
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: even just the best receiver in the NFL, I think
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson is still my pick.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: I think the cream rise in the top.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Not that Jamar Chase isn't fantastic, of course he is,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: but with those odds, he all he needs is a
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: two twenty type of day, and I think he can
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: do that in one of these games down the stretch.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Then he's tied with Jamar Chase. He's got Sam Darnold
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: throwing it to him down the stretch. And yes, Joe
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Burrow and Jamar Chase has made a lot of magic.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: But I could see the Vikings trailing a little more
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: often down the stretch and you got some justin Jefferson.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I just believe in this guy as one of the
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: best players I've ever seen.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: He gets it done.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Okay, But here's my question. What if they really want
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Joe Burrow to be the comeback player of the year
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: so they don't sit him down, and that means that
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: they need you March. I'm just saying, I'm just playing
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Devil's advocate.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: It's not a thing like you try to get Saquon
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Barkley touchdowns, for sure, but no one's in the locker
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: room like, let's go get the comeback player of the year.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: No.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for saying, come on, you never know.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: It's like, what is even if you try to win it,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: then you have to like befall something misfortune. It's like
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: it's not worth it. Let's move on to a thing
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: that Cynthia doesn't want to say, but I'll say it
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. This is the odds for winning Super
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Bowl fifty nine in terms of the division, with the
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: NFC North leading the way, AFC West and NFC East
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: at the top. So I'll ask both of you which
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: division do you think the winner of Super Bowl fifty
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: nine comes from? You are not obligated to say the
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: name of the games.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I recognize that the shortest odds in this
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: are for a division that could give three potential playoff teams,
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: which is the North. But I'm not going there because
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: I don't like boring odds. I like high returns on investment.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: I bought bitcoin. These guys were making fun of me,
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: but I did it a long time ago at like
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: seventeen thousand, so you guys can I'll laugh all the
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: way to the bank. But ultimately I'm at the NFC
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: East in this matchup. I told you I liked the
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Eagles ahead of the season to actually win the division.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: So if I'm looking at odds here and returns on
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: investment for twenty five, that's looking pretty tasty for me,
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: especially with the fact that you look at their schedule,
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: four more home games for this at.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: What costs though a broken heart of Cynthia Friedland.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: Listen, I'm hedging. My emotions would be happy either way here.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Either I win with my investment or I win with
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: my heart, except for if it's the Vikings or anyone
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: else that's a green team, in which case, boo boo
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: to that.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going with the AFC East, and I am
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: going with my heart.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very hard.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: The season started, I had the Bills over the Lions
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl, and my Bills pick is looking fantastic.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Let's go AFC East. I like how long those odds are,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: it's plus four to seventy five. I know we got
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: no other help in the AFC East. Jets and Patriots
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: long gone. It's not happening with the Dolphins. But this
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Bills team have been knocking on the door year after
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: year after year. I do not think it's the chief season.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: I think this is the toughest Bills team in terms
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: of their offensive line that they've ever had, and I
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: think they're gonna make it all the way there.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Now. That said, when they put up that board in
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: the AFC North was plus six hundred.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: You're getting multiple teams there too, that got a shot
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I think to make it in the Steelers, in the Ravens,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: and that's.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: A little changing your mind.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I like the AFC East the most, but I'm just
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: saying the longest odds on that board were maybe my
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: second favorite AFC North because I don't think the Chiefs
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: are making it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun. If we're talking heart my team's in there.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Cynthia was saying we made fun of her for crypto investments,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: you know, questionable there. She's perhaps fearing a rug pull,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: which is why she did not select the NFC North.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Because you won't even say the name of the game
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be played in the world. We're mole Superbowl. Hey, folks,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: coming up, we got a new head coach, Cale Williams.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Does well, the Bears get a new result. After the break,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: we're diving into Chicago and San Francisco now or never
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: for the Niners. Who's gonna win? We'll try to tell
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: you coming up next. Yeah, sorry, Bears fans, they haven't
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: seen that. Pat who was fired shortly after that, spoke
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: twice in between on Thanksgiving Day, they're taking the forty
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: nine ers on Sunday. San Francisco put CMC and Jordan
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Mason on IR this week, Cynthia who wins the football game?
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: The Chicago Bears win the football game twenty three to
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: twenty two. It feels like bad news all around for that,
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: except it is good news for Caleb Williams. We have
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: seen a dramatic uptick and a couple of really notable
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: things for him, one being how he's faring against the Blitz.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: He's doing better. These passes, they look a lot better. Sure,
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: we've seen Dj Moore use behind, you know, going behind
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, so potentially needing yak to complete passes.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Who cares, it's still working. It's giving them the opportunity
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: to win. He's had the two best games of his career, obviously,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: it's a young career in the past few games, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: I just think that this is an opportunity to take
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: advantage of the San Francisco forty nine ers, who are
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: kind of reeling from so many injuries and just so
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: much misfortune this season.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you stack those second halfs on top of
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: each other. Gaile Bows has had an amazing game as
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: long as you can add them together. I thought for
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: sure I was going to be alone on this one.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I have the Chicago Bears as well by one point,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: and looking at Keenan Allen the past three weeks has
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: been incredible. It's like the Keenan Allen that we've seen
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: for his entire career, thirty one targets at over ten
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: yards a catch with just so many losses on this
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: forty nine Ers team where it's Brot Perdy and George
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Kittle have got to carry the team on their back.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: The defense has fallen off, not seeing the type of
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: explosion and disruption from Bosa as well, and poor Fred
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: is just back there having to try to make all
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: the plays, which has been a theme as the season goes. Yeah,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: it's a lot wrong, Greg, How could anybody pick the
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: forty nine?
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Well, oh, there's a lot going on in this game.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: First of all, we got the fired coach principal, right,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: you know, you get the bump when you fire the coach,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: And that's why I have the Bears covering Like you guys.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: It made a lot of good reasons and arguments.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: But then you also got the feeling of when you
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: find out your co hosts picked a four point underdog
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: on the road.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: You just can't go mean, you.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Got to go just Greg, You got to take that favorite.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you got to just play the game. And I
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: do believe in the vibes in San Francisco being as
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: down horrendously as any vibes in the country.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: Look, Kyle Shanahan's not happy.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: He's gripping that play sheet real type. Remember remember a
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago in that Green Bay game and
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: they had a couple of twelve men on the field penalty.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: This was the moment where I actually believed that maybe
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: the season was over for them because he was.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: So furious in that moment.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: And yet I think about all the competing vibes in
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: what's going on here, and this is where.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: He really loses it.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: The Chicago Bears will find a way even to lose
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: to this man. I mean, that has given me nightmares
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks, Like this is how the
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Bears play. So they cover fired coach principle, but they
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: don't find a way to win.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, So the fired coach principal, which has carried several
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: teams this season. Greg no longer a believer in you.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: He's got the forty nine ers on it, just Greg,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Let's get some more quick picks here on game debut.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: The Panthers and Eagles, Bryce Young and Carolina have been
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: feisty lately. Can they pull off a shocker? Good?
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: They can pull off covering again? Twenty seven to nineteen.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: I think it's a little closer than that number would
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: indicate because Bryce Young is playing well. You look at
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: the score nineteen, you say, well, that's not a lot.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: The Ravens didn't have that much until the deep parts
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: of garbage time last week. I think the Panthers can
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: hang in this game. This story for Bryce Young has
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: gone from this is a nice story. He's playing better.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: He's gonna have an NFL career too. This guy's playing awesome.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: He's playing with a lot of anticipation, making really good decisions.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: I actually think he's the type of quarterback that can
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: excel against a Vic Fangio defense, which asks you to
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: be very patient. So I see a lot of long
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: drives from both these teams and a closer score than
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: the number would indicate.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: Let's go Bryce Young a little letdown.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Game two by the wa Yah, I've been fun to
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: watch the Saints and the Giants at MetLife Drew Locke
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: starting again for the g Man. What do you see
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: going on, Cynthia.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Well, I see the Saints winning twenty three to nineteen.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: No Taysom Hill obviously, and the fact that the Giants
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: are the only team in the NFC that have been
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: mathematically eliminated from the postseason. I think they're playing with
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: kind of house money, so making it a nice just
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: just a four point win, I think that'll keep things
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: a little bit more interesting. But I want to talk
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: about Alvin Kamara right now. He has sixty rushing touchdowns
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: and twenty four receiving. If he gets one more, he
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: joins a club that only four other guys are in
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: to have more than fifty rushing touchdowns and twenty five
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: or wow receiving touchdowns. So there's something fun we can
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: all cheer four in this matchup.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Also top five in the NFL right now in yards
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: from scrimmage. I don't think people other than his fantasy
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: owners and Saints fans realize that he is having that
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: kind of season, one of the best running backs in
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: the NFL, and he didn't have to change teams because
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: his team give the Saints some credit valued him and
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: gave him a nice contract during this season.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: And really the embodiment of this franchim. They loved him
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: down in New Orleans and we love Alva Kamara as well.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Guy, I want him to join the club.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, get in the club. In fact, get in the club.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: There's another club in Kanton, Ohio. I think he could
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: go to coming up in a few years. Last one,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Jags and Titans in Nashville, Mac Jones versus Will Lennis.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Someone has to win, well, maybe not. I like tennesseee
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: in this one, though narrowly winning it seventeen to sixteen,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: because I think Tony Pollard gets things back going after
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: a slow performance for him and his standards that he
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: set up this season. Against Washington, Tony Pollard has faced
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: the most loaded boxes in the NFL on a per
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: carry basis. They have to considering the way things have
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: gone in Nashville for the Titans this season, Tony Pollard
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: is the thing have to stop but outside on the outside,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: on outside tackle runs. He's one of the best. So
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: let's get him out there against the Jags, who I
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: thought were gonna have a strong performance against the Houston
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Texans in that offensive line a week ago, they did not.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Let's get some balance from the Titans, who get a
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: win against the Jags. Sunday at nine am Eastern. Rich Eisen,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Kurt Warner, Coach Mariucci, Cynthia Freelan, and the whole gang.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Get you set for kickoff with NFL Game Day Morning.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold joins them live ahead of his matchup against
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins and the Falcons. Plus the guys discuss if
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: the Bills are the best team in football all that more. Sunday,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: nine am Eastern.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: I am not shorter than Colleen. However, Lil Wayne is
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: shorter than Colleen. Oh yeah, just so we're clear. He
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: was here last week.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: A very appropriate moniker. That's great to write this down.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Some predictions for Week fourteen.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Start us off, Greg okay, so am I righte this?
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Downs are finally on a winning streak two weeks in
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: a row. It's time to push my chips into the table.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: We're doubling up. It's on the doll they are going
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: to go over twenty five and a half points. I
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: asked for the team total of points. I thought it
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: must be like thirty four thirty five against the Debts
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: because they put up thirty four against the Raiders, thirty
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: four against the Patriots home. No, it's only twenty five.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: They're gonna top that with ease. And that was so easy.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: I decided to up the degree of difficulty. Let's go
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: over one and a half touchdowns for Tua Tongoailoa. Their
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: run game has stunk. They're not a good red zone
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: team running the ball. They're a great red zone team
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: throwing the ball. So we get both to and the Dolphins.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: I'm keeping my streak alive and I don't need to
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: push any chips, and I'm just going to keep winning
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: because he never, you know, go broke taking a profit,
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: but I have Jalen Hurts. Scoring a rushing touchdown seems
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: kind of like a given right, push push against a
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: team that's not so great when it comes to defending
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: the run. Well, I just want to point out that
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: if he does get one more rushing touchdown, he will
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: pass both Josh Allen and Cam Newton for the most
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: rushing touchdowns by a quarter back through their first six seasons.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: So it's a fun wow.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take a kind of a career long one
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: as well, because Mike Evans needs to average about ninety
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: five yards for the rest of the season to hit
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: one thousand yards. Once again, it's an incredible start to
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: his career, but the number is just sixty eight and
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: a half in this matchup against the Raiders. So yeah,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Mike Evans is going to have more receiving yards than
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: that because this is the mission, not to make it
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: to the playoffs or catch Atlanta. Get Mike Evans one
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: thousand receiving yards. Thanks for watching game debut for Cynthia
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: and Greg, I'm Patrick. We'll see you next week. Enjoy
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: the game.
