Speaker 1: NFL Game Deyview is a production of the NFL in
0:06
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
0:12
Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome to Game Deview, presented by Caesar Sportsbook Patrick Claib.
0:15
Speaker 3: I'm back here with Greg.
0:16
Speaker 2: Rosenthal and Cynthia Freeland. This is a smile because it
0:20
Speaker 2: happened thing, because this is the final one of the season,
0:22
Speaker 2: because we're all got one football game left, Guys.
0:25
Speaker 4: I am excited for it though.
0:26
Speaker 5: It's the two best teams and we also get to
0:29
Speaker 5: celebrate the best of the best when it comes to
0:31
Speaker 5: picking games. Here she is the Kansas City Chiefs of
0:35
Speaker 5: Game Deview, Cynthia Freeland, wearing her Champagne colored shirt to
0:40
Speaker 5: celebrate and dunk.
0:41
Speaker 4: On us didn't. I just like the shirt, guy, it
0:44
Speaker 4: is great. I just thought it was cool.
0:46
Speaker 2: It's a nice shirt that the glass metaphor does a
0:49
Speaker 2: whole true for Cynthia in the playoffs because she is
0:52
Speaker 2: rocking the crown.
0:53
Speaker 3: I guess Greg. Greg went double.
0:56
Speaker 2: Like swings for the fences in conference championship week, so
0:59
Speaker 2: that's why he is currently sitting at six and six.
1:02
Speaker 2: So roll fifty seven wasn't eight games, So glad we
1:05
Speaker 2: get to run it back for the rematch, we'll start
1:06
Speaker 2: by talking about our players to watch on the Chiefs offense,
1:09
Speaker 2: and I don't kick it off and discuss the oft
1:12
Speaker 2: non discussed factor Patrick Mahomes, because sometimes he seemed like
1:16
Speaker 2: a given, like the tides.
1:17
Speaker 3: And their connection to the moon.
1:19
Speaker 2: But the fact that we have a planetary sized object
1:22
Speaker 2: orbiting us that's the perfect distance for solar eclipses is
1:26
Speaker 2: totally locked.
1:26
Speaker 3: It's cool.
1:28
Speaker 2: Just like a quarterback playing in his fifth Super Bowl
1:31
Speaker 2: before he turns thirty years old.
1:33
Speaker 3: What are the differences? Though?
1:34
Speaker 2: In the playoffs hes scrambled on fifteen percent of his
1:37
Speaker 2: dropbacks compared.
1:38
Speaker 3: To just five in the regular season.
1:40
Speaker 2: It's so difficult to just dial it up and be
1:42
Speaker 2: a different football player in a different circumstance, But year
1:45
Speaker 2: after year he doesn't.
1:46
Speaker 3: So yeah, he's the player to watch because he's Patrick Mahomes.
1:49
Speaker 3: He feels obvious.
1:50
Speaker 6: Well, you talk about him scrambling in the postseason. Some
1:52
Speaker 6: changes we see from the regular to postseason. How about
1:55
Speaker 6: Xavier Worthies opportunity here? Not only is he now the
1:58
Speaker 6: motion man, the guy we see running ahead of the snap,
2:01
Speaker 6: but also they've adjusted his average depth of target down,
2:04
Speaker 6: so they're asking him to use a lot more yack.
2:07
Speaker 6: That's where they're leveraging Xavier Worthy's speed. Before it was
2:10
Speaker 6: like over eleven air yards per attempt that was the target.
2:13
Speaker 6: Now it's like less than half of that. So let's
2:16
Speaker 6: see him in motion. Let's see what happens with the
2:18
Speaker 6: ball in his hands. Let's see all that yak in
2:20
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl.
2:21
Speaker 5: I don't think people realize how good Worthy is that
2:24
Speaker 5: he could be to me as good of a player
2:25
Speaker 5: as let's say, DeVonta Smith is like a future number
2:28
Speaker 5: one type of guy.
2:29
Speaker 4: So she stole the guy I wanted.
2:30
Speaker 5: But when I was watching Xavier Worthy, I kept seeing
2:33
Speaker 5: this other blinding light running down the field and his
2:36
Speaker 5: name was Hollywood Brown, and it occurred to me for
2:39
Speaker 5: the first time. All season, this Chiefs team was fast.
2:43
Speaker 5: They were the slowest team in the NFL. They really
2:47
Speaker 5: were all season long. And people are like, oh, the
2:49
Speaker 5: Chiefs were playing Oki dok all season. We'll get into
2:52
Speaker 5: it throughout the course of this show. No, they're a
2:55
Speaker 5: different team now than they were before. You have two
2:59
Speaker 5: really fast receivers testing downfield coverage, and Marky sprown is
3:04
Speaker 5: going to really determine this game.
3:06
Speaker 4: Because Patrick then of the Ravens.
3:09
Speaker 3: That's a dangerous situation.
3:10
Speaker 4: It could be up, it could be down. He could
3:13
Speaker 4: have a big drop.
3:13
Speaker 5: As a Ravens fan, he was there watching sometimes when
3:17
Speaker 5: Marky's Brown didn't make that catch. But I'm telling you
3:19
Speaker 5: he has been getting open and his speed, combined with
3:22
Speaker 5: worthy speed, has transformed this offense from a station to
3:26
Speaker 5: station group to one that has a lot of explosion.
3:28
Speaker 2: Let's flip it over to the defensive side of the ball.
3:30
Speaker 2: Who do you have your eye on Cynthia as the
3:33
Speaker 2: player to watch on defense?
3:34
Speaker 6: Well, there's a lot to watch, but I'm looking specifically
3:36
Speaker 6: at Justin Reid in this matchup, we know they're going
3:39
Speaker 6: to have to account for sake one, we know that
3:41
Speaker 6: they're going to have to account for outside the numbers
3:43
Speaker 6: passes to aj Brown.
3:44
Speaker 7: Well, what about the middle of the.
3:46
Speaker 6: Field, what about where Dallas gutter might potentially be? We
3:50
Speaker 6: know that this is the best tackling defense in the NFL.
3:53
Speaker 6: If you're looking at the next gen stat that's how
3:55
Speaker 6: many missed tackles or missed tackle rate, It is the
3:57
Speaker 6: lowest for any team. It's like ten point seven percent,
4:00
Speaker 6: so sub eleven percent. Now, what kind of holes and
4:04
Speaker 6: what kind of sacrifices will you have to make?
4:06
Speaker 7: Are you going to blitz a lot?
4:07
Speaker 6: Are you going to drop back a little bit more hurt?
4:09
Speaker 7: Are you going to stack the box? What's going on?
4:10
Speaker 6: Well, you're going to need the guys in the back,
4:12
Speaker 6: so you're going to need the safeties, you need the
4:13
Speaker 6: course to really be playing chess when everyone's playing checkers.
4:16
Speaker 7: And Justin Reid also won the chess championship this year,
4:18
Speaker 7: so I'm just.
4:19
Speaker 4: Saying, wait, what chess championship.
4:21
Speaker 6: Chess dot com does a chess championship. Every Drew Tranquill
4:23
Speaker 6: won last year, Justin Reid ran won this year.
4:26
Speaker 7: So they're fast, best checkers.
4:28
Speaker 5: They're smart, and he was a guy who missed some
4:30
Speaker 5: time this year too, So that's another reason why they're
4:32
Speaker 5: better now than they were. Another reason is that Chris
4:35
Speaker 5: Jones is playoff Chris Jones. We talk about Patrick Mahomes
4:38
Speaker 5: and Andy Reid and Spags is kind of the three
4:41
Speaker 5: weight buried walls of the Chiefs. You got to put
4:44
Speaker 5: Chris Jones in that mix. I'm not saying he's doing
4:46
Speaker 5: an okie doke, but I do think Chris Jones in
4:49
Speaker 5: the playoffs and Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs are even better.
4:52
Speaker 4: They're breaking out things he didn't see.
4:54
Speaker 5: And what we saw from Chris Jones in the first
4:56
Speaker 5: half of that Bills game was a game changing, game
4:59
Speaker 5: winning performance. He helped get them that lead.
5:02
Speaker 4: And he's so.
5:03
Speaker 5: Rare because he's out there on the edge beating tackles
5:07
Speaker 5: like Spencer Brown, who's a great player one on one,
5:09
Speaker 5: so he'll be inside, he'll be outside.
5:12
Speaker 4: He's the rare guy who can make an Eagles offensive
5:14
Speaker 4: lineman look bad as good as they are.
5:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's one person on this show that we refer
5:18
Speaker 2: to as a person who doesn't occasionally tell the truth.
5:20
Speaker 2: I'm calling on the entire Chiefs roster when they talk
5:23
Speaker 2: about all we don't think about the three feet To
5:25
Speaker 2: be able to have this level sustained success, you have
5:27
Speaker 2: to prepare your bodies and be willing to change things
5:30
Speaker 2: up to be here in the playoffs. Chris Jones, Patrick Mahomes,
5:33
Speaker 2: I'll fall into that. A guy who made a big
5:34
Speaker 2: play in the last Super Bowl, Nick Bolton. We think
5:37
Speaker 2: about the Eagles and the Chiefs flying up and down
5:39
Speaker 2: the field in the second half, it was Nick Bolton
5:41
Speaker 2: picking up that ball. Of course, as Andy Reid said,
5:43
Speaker 2: don't open any night.
5:44
Speaker 3: Ball's not round.
5:45
Speaker 2: They bounced sometimes they bounced directly to Nick Bolton. I
5:47
Speaker 2: think if Nick Bolton playing against this Eagles run attack,
5:50
Speaker 2: not just Saquon, but all of the connections that they
5:52
Speaker 2: play with up front.
5:53
Speaker 3: If they are wrong a couple of times.
5:55
Speaker 2: Twenty six is run into the end zone by himself,
5:58
Speaker 2: they have to have an A game. If they have
6:00
Speaker 2: a B game, I think the Chiefs don't have an
6:02
Speaker 2: opportunity here.
6:03
Speaker 3: So I think Nick Bolton is is my player to watch.
6:05
Speaker 2: Let's move on, take a peek at the Super Bowl
6:08
Speaker 2: leading receiver odds. Travis Kelcey, of course, had the big
6:12
Speaker 2: one last time out. AJ Brown the odds on favorite
6:16
Speaker 2: at plus one pint eighty to lead the game in
6:19
Speaker 2: receiving the Xavier worthy a Hanse Smith down there. So
6:21
Speaker 2: let's discuss Cynthia Who's going to be the game's top
6:25
Speaker 2: pass catcher.
6:26
Speaker 6: Well, I'm gonna go a little chalky here, and I'm
6:28
Speaker 6: going to say that it is in fact AJ Brown
6:30
Speaker 6: in large part because of what we've seen outside the numbers,
6:33
Speaker 6: especially in recent games, those outside of the numbers passes
6:36
Speaker 6: have been where Jalen Hurts has been on a freaking heater,
6:39
Speaker 6: and that's where aj Brown will have a huge physical
6:42
Speaker 6: mismatch against pretty much anyone in the league that tries
6:44
Speaker 6: to match up against him, but especially if number twenty
6:47
Speaker 6: two Trent mcdohughey isn't on him, that's where he'll had
6:50
Speaker 6: a chance to absolutely eat. But again, outside of the
6:52
Speaker 6: numbers passes, that's.
6:53
Speaker 7: Going to be a difference maker in this one.
6:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going Xavier Worthy because he's the guy catching
6:58
Speaker 5: the passes from Patrick Mahomes and he's the clear one
7:01
Speaker 5: right now in his number is one that tud It's true,
7:05
Speaker 5: he's just gonna get a lot of targets. They really
7:09
Speaker 5: scheme their offense up to specifically get Xavier Worthy looks
7:13
Speaker 5: in a way that I don't think they will for
7:16
Speaker 5: any other player on that team.
7:17
Speaker 4: He is making contested catches, he.
7:19
Speaker 5: Has the faith of his head coach and his quarterback,
7:23
Speaker 5: which I don't think he had early in the season.
7:25
Speaker 4: And even though nobody asked me, just.
7:27
Speaker 5: Like for a little underdog pick, Dallas Goddard's kind of
7:30
Speaker 5: sneaky in there at plus eight hundred. If you were
7:32
Speaker 5: going to go on the other side, I think that
7:33
Speaker 5: would be like a fun underdog.
7:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about the guy who was the leading receiver
7:38
Speaker 2: for the Philadelphia Eagles in this game in Super Bowl
7:41
Speaker 2: fifty seven back in Glendale. Now DeVante Smith is in
7:45
Speaker 2: his home state of Louisiana. He probably has a similar performance,
7:48
Speaker 2: going for over one hundred yards. He's played against the
7:51
Speaker 2: Spags chief defense three times in his career, one of
7:53
Speaker 2: the being in the Super Bowl. The totals are three
7:55
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty one yards in those three games. I
7:59
Speaker 2: think DeVante Smith is a leading receiver.
8:01
Speaker 3: It's a surprise. We're not going to tell people.
8:03
Speaker 2: Let's die been to some fun prop bets with some
8:06
Speaker 2: quick picks here on game Dave, you first won, Cynthia.
8:08
Speaker 3: Will the opening coin toss be heads or tails?
8:12
Speaker 7: Well it's tails?
8:13
Speaker 4: Why?
8:13
Speaker 6: Well, just so you know, in fifty eight Super Bowls,
8:15
Speaker 6: thirty times it's in tails, twenty eight, it's been heads.
8:18
Speaker 6: In the past six it's gone evenly heads and tails.
8:20
Speaker 6: I don't actually have any reason other than I just
8:22
Speaker 6: prefer tails him fails. It's a lot of fun. But
8:25
Speaker 6: you can tell your friends thirty tails, twenty eight heads.
8:29
Speaker 4: There you go.
8:30
Speaker 7: You'll be the hit of your party.
8:31
Speaker 2: It's like those people staring intently at the history on
8:33
Speaker 2: the Roulett wheel.
8:34
Speaker 3: What do we think about the first Goddess? Core? Greg?
8:37
Speaker 3: Will his jersey number be higher than ten and a half?
8:40
Speaker 5: I'm saying no, we Gonta Smith, we got Zavier Worthy,
8:44
Speaker 5: Xavier one, Jalen Hurts.
8:46
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts was what did it for?
8:48
Speaker 7: Twenty six?
8:49
Speaker 4: Though? Is twenty six is a high number?
8:51
Speaker 5: But you know who scored more rushing touchdowns than twenty
8:53
Speaker 5: six this year?
8:54
Speaker 4: Who?
8:54
Speaker 7: Number one?
8:55
Speaker 5: Does it count if it's a passing touchdout? I guess
8:57
Speaker 5: not either receiver? Do we have any receivers under other
9:01
Speaker 5: than well?
9:02
Speaker 3: It's six? But then I think becomes a problem.
9:05
Speaker 7: Yeah, eleven becomes a really big problem.
9:07
Speaker 6: I went with the numbers here, eleven, twenty six, eighty seven.
9:12
Speaker 6: I just went with how many people I think could
9:13
Speaker 6: catch a touchdown, and that's why I went with more higher.
9:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Greg, Greg's got Hollywood good.
9:18
Speaker 4: I'm going to number five, Hollywood Brown tig.
9:21
Speaker 2: Play love it, make it as painful as possible. Who's
9:24
Speaker 2: gonna go for to Cynthia? Will there be a successful
9:27
Speaker 2: two point conversion on Sunday in New Orleans?
9:30
Speaker 6: The answer is Yes, this is the year of two
9:33
Speaker 6: point conversions. This is the year where the analytics says,
9:37
Speaker 6: actually just means we're going forward on I don't know,
9:39
Speaker 6: fourth down two point conversions, all of these things. I
9:41
Speaker 6: think the two point conversion will be a strategic point.
9:45
Speaker 6: We all agree across the board meme alert us away
9:48
Speaker 6: you anti two point conversion people, We are.
9:50
Speaker 7: Saying yes to this one.
9:51
Speaker 4: Yeah.
9:51
Speaker 5: Shout out to the production crew, hight them and everyone
9:54
Speaker 5: back there for bringing back these great memories of all
9:56
Speaker 5: the influential two point conversions, right which led to that Patriots,
10:00
Speaker 5: Falcons come back and some big ones obviously in Chiefs Eagles.
10:03
Speaker 5: I think there's some analysis to be made here, which
10:05
Speaker 5: is that these are two teams that have found the
10:08
Speaker 5: religion on fourth down and to be two point conversions
10:11
Speaker 5: very close to similar down.
10:12
Speaker 4: You're gonna go for it.
10:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're very good at it as well. It helps.
10:16
Speaker 3: It can't be bad. It just go for it.
10:17
Speaker 2: You have to be good at it, yeah, because you're
10:19
Speaker 2: probably not scoring the touchdown in the first place. If
10:20
Speaker 2: that's the case. On the gatoray bath, fantastic tradition. We
10:23
Speaker 2: love it. We're powered by it.
10:25
Speaker 3: Greg what color is it going to be for the
10:27
Speaker 3: winning car?
10:28
Speaker 5: Well, every year I picked green. This year they didn't
10:31
Speaker 5: even give me an option as green.
10:33
Speaker 4: I'm colorblind.
10:35
Speaker 5: Another way of the NFL really doesn't think about our
10:37
Speaker 5: color blind people out there.
10:39
Speaker 4: I'm going blue, though, we're going blue.
10:41
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's the freeze blue or it's
10:45
Speaker 5: just blue. They have a couple of different shades of blue,
10:47
Speaker 5: so that gave is blue an advantage.
10:49
Speaker 7: So here's the thing I need.
10:50
Speaker 4: To tell you.
10:51
Speaker 6: The last time the Eagles won, it was yellow. The
10:53
Speaker 6: past two seasons it was purple for the Chiefs.
10:56
Speaker 7: Does that change anything for you, Greg.
10:58
Speaker 4: No, this is a ridiculous question.
11:01
Speaker 6: But orange, if you really think about fade orange, it's
11:05
Speaker 6: not gonna be orange.
11:06
Speaker 5: Drop things if like you really drilled down to it.
11:08
Speaker 5: Because I hear someone say like, oh, Mahomes has hit
11:11
Speaker 5: his rushing prop five out of six. I mean, there's
11:13
Speaker 5: probably not any more indicative than yellow or blue size.
11:16
Speaker 6: I think people are superstitious and the orange. Then the
11:19
Speaker 6: next year when they lost the Super Bowl, I heard
11:21
Speaker 6: a rumor it's orange there too.
11:22
Speaker 7: So I'm thinking fade orange.
11:24
Speaker 4: But yellow was.
11:25
Speaker 7: The Eagles last time.
11:26
Speaker 6: Different regime, But if you really think it's the cheese
11:28
Speaker 6: probably purple superstition.
11:29
Speaker 4: Three year old.
11:30
Speaker 2: Maybe get some insight in what the player said on
11:33
Speaker 2: their favorite Gatorade flavor, because the one that gets dumped
11:36
Speaker 2: on the coach is the one that didn't get consumed.
11:38
Speaker 3: During the game.
11:39
Speaker 2: So something considered last year's Super Bowl went to overtime,
11:43
Speaker 2: Well this year somethingle no oh.
11:44
Speaker 6: I mean, look, we've had a couple recently, but I
11:47
Speaker 6: think in this game it's gonna come down to a
11:50
Speaker 6: game winning drive. But I don't necessarily think it will
11:54
Speaker 6: be extra football. I think we are ending with sixty
11:57
Speaker 6: minutes of regulation.
11:59
Speaker 5: I like the the no, the no right there for
12:02
Speaker 5: New Orleans. It's style lies, It's beautiful. We got a
12:05
Speaker 5: lot of work to do here. It's a central time
12:08
Speaker 5: zone game. We're gonna have postgame coverage, We're gonna do
12:11
Speaker 5: an NFL Daily podcast. Let's have a great game in regulation.
12:14
Speaker 5: We don't need any overtime.
12:16
Speaker 2: That's like those rules, sixty minutes for the rest of
12:18
Speaker 2: our lives. Before we go, we gotta go backwards, we
12:21
Speaker 2: gotta go way back. In Week one, one of us
12:24
Speaker 2: nailed their Super Bowl prediction. The other two not so much. Well,
12:29
Speaker 2: we did see them before because you said they were
12:31
Speaker 2: going to happen, so they happened.
12:33
Speaker 7: Congratulation, Blind girl finds a nut wining the picks.
12:36
Speaker 5: If you had actually put down that that prop of
12:40
Speaker 5: this exact matchup, you wouldn't even be watching right now
12:43
Speaker 5: because you'd be so rich.
12:45
Speaker 2: We's forty five hundred at the start of the season.
12:47
Speaker 4: I'm bad, not bad, A pretty solid pick.
12:50
Speaker 2: Time for home field advantage presented by Zillow DeVante Smith's
12:53
Speaker 2: hometown of Amy City, just an hour outside of New Orleans.
12:57
Speaker 3: A fun fact, it's.
12:58
Speaker 2: On the Amy River, which they call it the Emit
13:01
Speaker 2: River in Mississippi, so the name changes as it goes
13:03
Speaker 2: through Louisiana.
13:05
Speaker 3: It's Amy. So it's going to be.
13:07
Speaker 2: A homecoming for Smitty, the Heisman Trophy winner.
13:11
Speaker 3: But what's his number going to be?
13:13
Speaker 2: Cynthia Well Davonte Smith have over or under fifty one
13:16
Speaker 2: and a half receiving yards on Super Bowl Sunday.
13:19
Speaker 7: Oh, I really like that one. My model has like
13:21
Speaker 7: fifty six. You know, I'm a conservative modeler.
13:24
Speaker 6: I think this could be one where we see one
13:26
Speaker 6: of these deep catches for at least nineteen and a
13:29
Speaker 6: half yards all in one play.
13:31
Speaker 7: In fact, I really.
13:32
Speaker 6: Like that if you're picking up what I'm putting down,
13:34
Speaker 6: but ultimately over fifty one and a half total yards,
13:37
Speaker 6: foh show.
13:38
Speaker 5: I think one difference between this Chiefs team now in
13:42
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago is the questions at the
13:45
Speaker 5: outside cornerback position. You know McDuffie's good there, but he's
13:50
Speaker 5: better in the slot. So when he is in the slot,
13:53
Speaker 5: then Jalen Watson, who's returned, I just don't think they're
13:56
Speaker 5: maybe as strong as they were a couple of years
13:58
Speaker 5: back when it was Lagarious Snead out there each and
14:01
Speaker 5: every day.
14:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, having a couple of options definitely helps. So it's
14:04
Speaker 2: going to be a lot on McVey. Speaking of Devonte Smith,
14:06
Speaker 2: let's talk about some more guys on this Eagles offense
14:09
Speaker 2: to watch.
14:09
Speaker 3: Who do you have your eyes on?
14:11
Speaker 4: Greg Well?
14:11
Speaker 5: Why not start with the quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is
14:14
Speaker 5: coming off his best game I thought of the season
14:17
Speaker 5: in the Conference championship game. So let's just remember his
14:20
Speaker 5: best game of his career I believe was in the
14:21
Speaker 5: Super Bowl. His best game of this season is in
14:24
Speaker 5: the Conference championship game. That's a big game player and
14:26
Speaker 5: he is the biggest X factor in the entire game
14:28
Speaker 5: because when he's getting rid of the ball quickly and
14:31
Speaker 5: his time to throw in that NFC Championship was the
14:34
Speaker 5: second fastest since Week eight. In making quick decisions, He's
14:38
Speaker 5: an accurate thrower, He's a very talented thrower, especially outside
14:42
Speaker 5: the numbers, and he has good players around him.
14:45
Speaker 4: They're going to be very difficult to stop.
14:47
Speaker 5: But when he's holding on to the ball and he's
14:50
Speaker 5: not making quick decisions, and maybe Spagnolo confuses the offensive
14:54
Speaker 5: line or him, then things get a little hairy.
14:57
Speaker 4: But if you get that Jalen.
14:58
Speaker 5: Hurts from the NFC Championship game, like watch out Eagles offense.
15:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean what happens with Jalen Hurts. The best
15:04
Speaker 6: thing is the combination.
15:05
Speaker 7: Just kind of like us, right, we need our teammates together.
15:08
Speaker 7: Patrick's are O lying, You're Jalen Hurst.
15:10
Speaker 6: I'm Saquon Barkley, and that's who I'm looking for in
15:12
Speaker 6: this matchup. Obviously, I told you before the Chiefs are the.
15:16
Speaker 7: Best tackling defense. But this guy is the yuck guy.
15:20
Speaker 6: This guy is the guy who's taking the ball to
15:23
Speaker 6: the outside, taking the ball to the inside.
15:24
Speaker 7: Catching the ball.
15:25
Speaker 6: He's kind of the do everything guy, and now they're
15:27
Speaker 6: giving him all of these yards before contact.
15:29
Speaker 7: Have you seen those quads?
15:30
Speaker 6: Do you know what happens when he gets a full
15:32
Speaker 6: head of steam and then runs into you much harder
15:34
Speaker 6: to bring down.
15:35
Speaker 7: There's so many.
15:36
Speaker 6: Great stats about Saquon Barkley and so many fun things
15:39
Speaker 6: that you could say, but the one that I'm looking
15:41
Speaker 6: at specifically in this matchup is how many times, once
15:45
Speaker 6: he's reached his full speed that he's been able to
15:47
Speaker 6: get at least.
15:48
Speaker 7: Five yards more after contact.
15:50
Speaker 6: And news alert, spoiler alert, it's even more than Derek
15:54
Speaker 6: Henry this woo. It's by far and away the most.
15:56
Speaker 6: That's why those explosive players are working. That's why he's
15:59
Speaker 6: getting those extra you know, really long rushes.
16:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, he almost doubles his yards before contact best season ever,
16:06
Speaker 2: like double what he was able to do in his
16:09
Speaker 2: best season against UH playing for the New York Giants.
16:13
Speaker 2: I've got another piece of this offense, one that we
16:15
Speaker 2: kind of sometimes forget, and that's Dallas Goddard and what
16:17
Speaker 2: he brings for the Philadelphia Eagles.
16:19
Speaker 3: Now.
16:19
Speaker 2: Perhaps had the worst performance on Super Bowl Opening Night
16:22
Speaker 2: when he was asked what his favorite Taylor Swift song,
16:24
Speaker 2: and he said, don't go chasing waterfalls, Dallas. The name
16:26
Speaker 2: of the song is just Waterfalls. Is a TLC song.
16:28
Speaker 2: It's legendary. I'll give him an excuse because maybe we
16:31
Speaker 2: show our age a little bit, but he is.
16:34
Speaker 7: He clearly thought of that one ahead of time.
16:36
Speaker 4: That's wrong in so many different in.
16:38
Speaker 2: Many aspects, Taylor did cover unpretty one time if we're
16:42
Speaker 2: talking about TLC songs. But either way, when Dallas Goddard
16:46
Speaker 2: is running crossers, when the Philadelphia run game is going,
16:49
Speaker 2: when DeVante is opening on the outside, AJ has options.
16:52
Speaker 2: There's just so many options for Jalen Hurts to hurt you.
16:55
Speaker 2: And you often forget about Dallas Goddard, but I think
16:58
Speaker 2: he is a key aspect to the offense in this game.
17:01
Speaker 3: Let's flip it over to the Eagles defense. Correct.
17:03
Speaker 2: So many guys can make plays. Which one are you
17:05
Speaker 2: watching the most?
17:06
Speaker 5: I'm gonna watch Milton Williams on the defensive line. He's
17:09
Speaker 5: the defensive tackle next to Jalen Carter. We know Jalen
17:12
Speaker 5: Carter is a difference maker and is gonna get double teams.
17:15
Speaker 5: We know the edg Rushers have really improved. What I
17:17
Speaker 5: think is getting missed is that Milton Williams has made
17:21
Speaker 5: as much money as any player in the NFL with
17:25
Speaker 5: his performance in these playoffs and really throughout the course
17:28
Speaker 5: of the season. I think you might have been the
17:30
Speaker 5: best defensive player on the field in the NFC Championship game.
17:33
Speaker 5: He was dominant, had a ton of game changing pressures,
17:36
Speaker 5: really blowing up the backfield on passing downs and on
17:39
Speaker 5: running downs. And if you're a great interior rusher and
17:43
Speaker 5: you're getting one on ones, I think there could be
17:46
Speaker 5: mismatches here against the guards of the Kansas City Chiefs.
17:50
Speaker 4: So keep an eye on Milton Williams.
17:51
Speaker 5: There's bigger names around him, but he could be that
17:54
Speaker 5: game wrecker, And this happens in the Super Bowl, the
17:57
Speaker 5: guy you didn't see coming, forcing Patrick Mahomes and that
18:01
Speaker 5: running game to really have to speed up what they
18:04
Speaker 5: want to do.
18:05
Speaker 6: Well, you're talking about a guy who we you know,
18:08
Speaker 6: he's kind of really taking a step forward this postseason.
18:11
Speaker 7: Well, now I'm talking about two guys.
18:12
Speaker 6: Who they don't even maybe know how important this moment
18:15
Speaker 6: is because they're both rookies. And that's Quinnon Mitchell and
18:18
Speaker 6: Cooper Dejen these defensive backs have totally changed that. They're
18:22
Speaker 6: the difference makers to me in this matchup between what
18:25
Speaker 6: happens two seasons ago and now. If you look at
18:27
Speaker 6: Quinyon Mitchell, just don't throw the ball to him in
18:30
Speaker 6: the playoffs. Specifically, you're way, way, way better off throwing
18:33
Speaker 6: the ball into the ground where you get to a
18:34
Speaker 6: thirty nine point six passer rating than into his coverage.
18:36
Speaker 7: It's like three. It's like something like three, something crazy
18:39
Speaker 7: like that.
18:40
Speaker 6: And then if you're looking at what happens in Nickel
18:42
Speaker 6: whenever Cooper de Jean's been in, so when he came
18:44
Speaker 6: in after week seven, Oh, it's just the fewest yards
18:48
Speaker 6: allowed per attempt in the league when they're a Nickel.
18:51
Speaker 4: No big deal.
18:52
Speaker 6: But I think we were talking about, you know, all
18:54
Speaker 6: the different ways Jade Deal's might not realize how hard it.
18:57
Speaker 7: Is to get to where he's going.
18:58
Speaker 6: I don't know if these two guys know how hard
19:00
Speaker 6: it is to get where they're going. And if you
19:02
Speaker 6: can get that pressure up front and back it up
19:04
Speaker 6: with these guys in the back, that's going to be
19:06
Speaker 6: really hard on the Chiefs.
19:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially considering Patrick Mahomes attempted a career high, almost
19:11
Speaker 2: league high in terms of passes behind the line of scrimmage.
19:14
Speaker 2: I think it's big for Cooper Degen in that aspect.
19:16
Speaker 2: You got a couple of rookies. I'll take a second
19:18
Speaker 2: year guy in Nolan Smith, and we saw the type
19:21
Speaker 2: of trouble that the Eagles made for the Commanders on
19:23
Speaker 2: the edge with Jadon Daniels, who know what he was
19:25
Speaker 2: able to deal with on the edge all season long.
19:28
Speaker 2: I think you have to be able to make the
19:30
Speaker 2: decision process a little bit quicker for Patrick Mahomes win
19:34
Speaker 2: he's out on the edge making plays, especially late in games.
19:38
Speaker 2: And Nolan Smith has that speed and that ability to
19:41
Speaker 2: cause that fraction of a second that I think can
19:44
Speaker 2: lead that secondary to make some play. So Nolan Smith
19:47
Speaker 2: will be my field of the Eagle defending.
19:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jaden Daniels shoe off during that game, that's how fast.
19:51
Speaker 3: That's tough. Pull his flag much. Let's get a shoe
19:55
Speaker 3: off up next.
19:55
Speaker 2: We're putting the biggest stars in Super Bowl fifty.
19:58
Speaker 3: Nine head to head.
19:59
Speaker 4: Love it.
19:59
Speaker 3: They don't get to do that on the field.
20:01
Speaker 2: Mahomes versus Hurts, Kelsey versus Goddard say Quadi is literally
20:05
Speaker 2: anybody who's ready to light up the scoreboard, we'll tell
20:08
Speaker 2: you when we come back on Game DEVIUT it's time
20:15
Speaker 2: for Expert Playmakers, presented by Intuit Turbo tex As we
20:19
Speaker 2: discuss some player pops.
20:20
Speaker 3: So some big.
20:21
Speaker 2: Quarterback show down between Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. Greg
20:26
Speaker 2: which quarterback is going to throw for more touchdowns on Sunday.
20:29
Speaker 5: I mean, I've got a lot of Eagles choices here,
20:31
Speaker 5: but what are we doing?
20:32
Speaker 4: It's Patrick Mahomes.
20:33
Speaker 5: It's the greatest player I've ever seen enter the league,
20:38
Speaker 5: and he always plays his best in these games. And
20:41
Speaker 5: it's just much more of a pass first offense. It's
20:44
Speaker 5: more passing touchdowns Mahomes or Hurts. Now, if it was
20:47
Speaker 5: more total touchdowns, that's a different prop, and that one
20:51
Speaker 5: I might go in a different direction because of what
20:53
Speaker 5: Jalen has done on the ground. But one of the
20:55
Speaker 5: things I've loved to see out of Mahomes in this postseason,
20:57
Speaker 5: I think he's been more willing to go for big
21:01
Speaker 5: plays and go for the kind of jaw drop been
21:04
Speaker 5: big time throws that made us love him when he
21:08
Speaker 5: first was coming up and won his first Super Bowl.
21:11
Speaker 5: And it's not that he's not trying in the regular season,
21:14
Speaker 5: but I do think he's a little more willing to
21:16
Speaker 5: try some things and take some risks in the postseason
21:19
Speaker 5: that he doesn't in the regular all Right.
21:20
Speaker 3: So as for who those risks are going to?
21:22
Speaker 2: Who has more receiving yards in the game for the Chief,
21:25
Speaker 2: Cynthia Hollywood Brown or Nuke Hopkins.
21:28
Speaker 6: I know this is gonna sound crazy, but my answer
21:30
Speaker 6: DeAndre Hopkins. Wow, large part because I think what Andy
21:34
Speaker 6: Reid does is he finds those little plays here and
21:37
Speaker 6: there all throughout.
21:38
Speaker 7: The season that he hasn't used in a long time.
21:40
Speaker 6: DeAndre Hopkins hasn't had the loudest postseason of any one
21:43
Speaker 6: catch team.
21:44
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know what that means. Andy Reid knows
21:47
Speaker 7: that too.
21:48
Speaker 6: So ultimately, I'm looking at the opportunity for DeAndre Hopkins
21:51
Speaker 6: and his ability to come down with contested catches. His body,
21:55
Speaker 6: the way his body type works, He's always along the perimeter,
21:58
Speaker 6: He's always up in a ton of traffic. Do you
22:00
Speaker 6: remember a game against the Bills once when he was
22:02
Speaker 6: a you know, playing for Arizona.
22:03
Speaker 7: That a pretty nice catch.
22:05
Speaker 6: Those are the types of things I think that they'll
22:06
Speaker 6: be looking for in this matchup.
22:08
Speaker 2: All right, So he hasn't necessarily had a historic postseason
22:11
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley has. He's been on a historic run. So
22:14
Speaker 2: the question is, what do you even compare for Saquon Barkley?
22:17
Speaker 2: Who do we put head to head for Saquon the
22:19
Speaker 2: entire Chiefs offense? Who will have more rushing yards? I
22:22
Speaker 2: still think it's going to be Saquon Barkley, who is
22:25
Speaker 2: two yards away from having the most pre Super Bowl
22:27
Speaker 2: yards in playoff history. He was two yards behind John Riggins.
22:30
Speaker 2: Remember he checked one down, could have had that way
22:33
Speaker 2: out of the way. He's thirty yards away from where
22:37
Speaker 2: Sorell Davis was with the most yards in postseason history.
22:41
Speaker 3: I think he gets that.
22:44
Speaker 2: I believe in the Eagles defense, I think it's not close.
22:46
Speaker 2: I think Saquon's going to outrush the entire Chiefs team.
22:49
Speaker 2: So let's go back to Greg here. Who has more
22:51
Speaker 2: receptions in the game? Travis Kelcey or Dallas Goddard.
22:54
Speaker 5: Okay, I know Travis Kelsey always shows up in the
22:57
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, but the numbers tell me it's Dallas godd Or.
22:59
Speaker 5: What did the chief struggle to do more than anything
23:03
Speaker 5: on office defense? Or special teams. It stopped the tight end.
23:08
Speaker 5: It's one of the only things that they are truly
23:10
Speaker 5: bad at. One of the worst teams in the league
23:13
Speaker 5: in terms of success rate EPA per play up the
23:16
Speaker 5: middle of the spine where Jalen Hurts can find Dallas Godder,
23:20
Speaker 5: and it's not just gonna be on those post routes.
23:23
Speaker 5: It's gonna be on some of those screens. They love
23:25
Speaker 5: to use Dallas Godder.
23:26
Speaker 4: After the Cats.
23:27
Speaker 5: Heck, they had him in the backfield in the Conference
23:30
Speaker 5: championship running the ball.
23:31
Speaker 4: That shows how much they trust them.
23:32
Speaker 5: So I'm going Dallas got it with a big one
23:34
Speaker 5: on Super Bowl Sunday.
23:35
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to some defensive player, Cynthia.
23:38
Speaker 2: Which linebacker has more tackles in this game? Nick Bolton
23:41
Speaker 2: or Zach Bond.
23:42
Speaker 6: Well, what did we talk about when you said it?
23:44
Speaker 6: You mentioned it the short passes behind the line of
23:47
Speaker 6: scrimmage that Patrick Mahomes is doing out a historic rate
23:50
Speaker 6: also runs. So my answer here is going to be
23:52
Speaker 6: Zach Bond, especially with Nikobe Dan not playing. I like Ornbrooks,
23:56
Speaker 6: let me be Cleary, and he's had a great postseason,
23:58
Speaker 6: But I still think Zach Bond is extra. I mean,
24:00
Speaker 6: there's a reason that he had the accolades he's had
24:02
Speaker 6: all season long. But if you're talking about offending stuff
24:04
Speaker 6: in front of him, sorry, not going to get past him.
24:07
Speaker 6: So I think it's I think it's Zach vond here
24:09
Speaker 6: for more.
24:09
Speaker 5: Tech got up to oron Burks or for him. He
24:12
Speaker 5: was sneaky huge in that Super Bowl in a negative
24:16
Speaker 5: way for the forty nine ers. So I just hope
24:18
Speaker 5: that doesn't happen this time.
24:20
Speaker 6: What we're talking about Zach bond here, I believe it
24:22
Speaker 6: got a little shit.
24:22
Speaker 4: The guys there.
24:24
Speaker 2: I'm just oran Burks came in, made a huge play
24:26
Speaker 2: in the NFC Championship.
24:27
Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's opportunity. Revenge is always there.
24:32
Speaker 2: Last one who has more sacks in this game two
24:35
Speaker 2: very good interiorty lineman Chris Jones or Jalen Carter. I
24:38
Speaker 2: am going to go with Jones here because it's so
24:40
Speaker 2: difficult to get fifteen on the ground. Jalen Hurts might
24:45
Speaker 2: hold onto the ball a little bit lead to a sack,
24:47
Speaker 2: maybe too, maybe a.
24:48
Speaker 3: Sack and a half.
24:49
Speaker 2: Either way, I do think it's easier for Chris Jones
24:52
Speaker 2: to get on the board, than it will be a
24:53
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter who's going to have to deal with those
24:55
Speaker 2: double teams. I mean, they both will, but I think
24:58
Speaker 2: it's Chris Jones the guy who should have a Super
25:01
Speaker 2: Bowl MVP. I try to say it every chance that
25:03
Speaker 2: I am. Look at some totals in these Super Bowls
25:07
Speaker 2: since twenty nineteen, the over has only hit once, but
25:12
Speaker 2: it was when the Chiefs played the Eagles in Super
25:14
Speaker 2: Bowl fifty seven. They're in Glendale, so the total for
25:17
Speaker 2: Super Bowl fifty nine is forty nine points.
25:22
Speaker 3: It's time to discuss over under.
25:25
Speaker 2: We've got some foam fingers to dictate how we feel,
25:29
Speaker 2: not dictate, to indicate how we feel about the scores.
25:32
Speaker 3: And in this game, I've got the over.
25:34
Speaker 2: I've got fifty six points, and that feels that that
25:38
Speaker 2: feels a little like relatively like conservative, but no easy
25:43
Speaker 2: over for me.
25:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you. I've got sixty three points.
25:47
Speaker 5: And you look at the last time these two teams
25:49
Speaker 5: played in the Super Bowl, and then you just look
25:51
Speaker 5: at the last games that these two teams played, the
25:54
Speaker 5: Chiefs and the Bills. They got to sixty one and
25:56
Speaker 5: that was freezing cold weather. The Commanders in the Eagles,
26:00
Speaker 5: I actually can't even count that high. You gotta go
26:02
Speaker 5: to Cynthia to figure out what like the total that
26:04
Speaker 5: they got in this These are two offenses that I
26:07
Speaker 5: think are playing their very best offense wins championships. Don't
26:11
Speaker 5: let anyone tell you differently. I think it's going to
26:13
Speaker 5: be a high scoring game.
26:14
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm the most conservative amongst the three of us,
26:16
Speaker 6: and I'm at fifty five, so I.
26:18
Speaker 7: Too believe that it is.
26:19
Speaker 6: More than the total number with forty nine, whatever it is.
26:22
Speaker 6: So I think this is going to be an interesting
26:24
Speaker 6: one though, because both defenses are something.
26:26
Speaker 7: That we talk about.
26:26
Speaker 6: However, it's the masterminding of the offenses that really drives
26:30
Speaker 6: us one.
26:30
Speaker 2: For me, all right, let's keep more or less going here.
26:35
Speaker 2: As we get into some player props. Patrick Mahomes ran
26:38
Speaker 2: for sixty six yards in last year's Super Bowl, Cynthia.
26:41
Speaker 2: Does he run for over thirty yards on Sunday?
26:44
Speaker 7: Yes, he does.
26:46
Speaker 6: The model says at least thirty two and fifty percent
26:48
Speaker 6: of simulations. If you look at just the year number
26:50
Speaker 6: we've been talking about it, it's tripled threefold increase in
26:55
Speaker 6: terms of number of rushing attempts, be they scrambles or not,
26:57
Speaker 6: who cares. They all come as the same thing for
26:59
Speaker 6: our purposes here. So I think this is going to
27:01
Speaker 6: be a really good opportunity. Whenever his offense line, especially
27:05
Speaker 6: on the left, is under a little bit of pressure.
27:07
Speaker 6: Run to the right, my friend, Run to the right.
27:09
Speaker 5: You know they got those three and a half weeks off,
27:12
Speaker 5: and people wonder, well, is that going to be rust
27:14
Speaker 5: And then I've watched Patrick Mahomes running faster than he's
27:17
Speaker 5: run all season long.
27:18
Speaker 4: I've seen Kareem Hunt look.
27:20
Speaker 5: Like you just had a long vacation, which he essentially did,
27:22
Speaker 5: and looking fresher. This is what happens when you're the
27:25
Speaker 5: one seed and you only lose one game. Patrick Mahomes
27:28
Speaker 5: actually picks up speed.
27:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, rest is good breaking news. Let's go to receiving arcs.
27:34
Speaker 2: Because AJ Brown is a spectacular wide receiver. The question
27:37
Speaker 2: is only have more or less than seventy one and
27:39
Speaker 2: a half receiving year.
27:40
Speaker 4: I had to go yes.
27:41
Speaker 5: Here I mentioned the outside advantage that I think Philadelphia
27:45
Speaker 5: has in the passing game. I just don't think the
27:48
Speaker 5: Chiefs are at their best covering those deep passes down
27:51
Speaker 5: the field. Ultimately, aj Brown for much of this season
27:55
Speaker 5: was a first team All Pro. To me, it was him,
27:58
Speaker 5: it was JJ, it was Jamar. Chase got a little
28:01
Speaker 5: banged up, had some slow moments in the playoffs. We
28:05
Speaker 5: needed assistant coach Brandon Graham to set things right for em.
28:08
Speaker 5: Jalen Hurts, but he is smoking now. Coming into the
28:11
Speaker 5: Super Bowl with a week off and coming off a
28:14
Speaker 5: great af NFC championship game, I think he has a
28:16
Speaker 5: big day.
28:17
Speaker 6: I think if you kind of it makes sense, right,
28:19
Speaker 6: logical sense. We all think a lot of points, we
28:21
Speaker 6: all think a lot of scoring. If you're an under enthusiast,
28:24
Speaker 6: that could be the one that I think maybe you
28:26
Speaker 6: switched the Devonte Smith number for. But that's only if
28:28
Speaker 6: you're an under enthusiast and who likes that Deander's no fun.
28:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, take that, under enthusiast, I'll take the last one.
28:34
Speaker 2: Will Travis Kelce's longest reception in the game be over
28:37
Speaker 2: nineteen and a half yards?
28:39
Speaker 4: Greg, I say, under.
28:41
Speaker 2: I think it will be, And I'll tell you exactly.
28:43
Speaker 2: I'll tell you exactly how it's going to happen. It's
28:45
Speaker 2: going to be a second and seven. Travis Kelcey is
28:48
Speaker 2: going to curl up about twelve yards away from the
28:50
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. He's going to catch the ball, He's
28:52
Speaker 2: going to do what appears to be a glacially slow turn,
28:55
Speaker 2: which is going to cause a defender to fall down,
28:57
Speaker 2: and he's going to go for twenty two yards. That
29:00
Speaker 2: is my prediction, because like taking the other side of
29:04
Speaker 2: this feels like something I would do at my peril.
29:07
Speaker 2: But you know, as an under enthusiast, that.
29:09
Speaker 4: Move has never not worked.
29:11
Speaker 5: It ever, every time Travis Kelcey just puts a little
29:14
Speaker 5: bit of a fake to the right.
29:16
Speaker 4: And then Carlson left, it works.
29:17
Speaker 5: I don't know his nineteen and a half yards though,
29:20
Speaker 5: It just takes a little longer than it used to.
29:23
Speaker 4: So I'm thinking about.
29:25
Speaker 5: The regular season, and maybe I shouldn't when there wasn't
29:28
Speaker 5: a lot of explosive plays from Kelsey.
29:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the fast people were chasing him. But now
29:33
Speaker 2: theyve as you pointed out, they've got more fast people
29:35
Speaker 2: on the field that are more of an issue to cover.
29:38
Speaker 2: When we come back, folks, we're gonna finally make our picks.
29:40
Speaker 2: So who's gonna actually win Super Bowl fifty nine?
29:43
Speaker 3: What do you think?
29:44
Speaker 2: Have you been tracking each decision to say, well, I
29:47
Speaker 2: think Cynthia's going with the Chiefs, or I think it's
29:49
Speaker 2: the Eagles.
29:50
Speaker 3: Is Casey Dustin forward?
29:51
Speaker 4: Three?
29:51
Speaker 3: P is never revenge for Philly? All that, plus who's
29:56
Speaker 3: gonna win the MVP.
29:57
Speaker 2: That's coming up next on game debut. Oh, what a
30:05
Speaker 2: beautiful opportunity and a beautiful play. Shout out to New Orleans, Louisiana,
30:08
Speaker 2: the Caesar super Dome site of Super Bowl fifty nine,
30:12
Speaker 2: and how appropriate it's Tom for us to seize the
30:14
Speaker 2: season presented by Caesar Sportsbook. As we're looking at the
30:19
Speaker 2: first touchdown score odds on Sunday, Saquon and Jalen Hurts
30:24
Speaker 2: leading the way, followed up by Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelsey
30:27
Speaker 2: and Xavier Worthy.
30:29
Speaker 3: Is we finally made it? Guys, it's Tom for us
30:33
Speaker 3: to make You.
30:34
Speaker 6: Looked at me with some consternation there, Greg.
30:35
Speaker 5: What was I'm still trying to decide what my pick
30:38
Speaker 5: is going to be?
30:38
Speaker 3: Like?
30:38
Speaker 7: Oh got it?
30:39
Speaker 4: Okay, He's like looked over like moment, Yeah, I.
30:41
Speaker 3: Mean, we gotta run down.
30:42
Speaker 2: But Greg's a wildcard. He can make a change at
30:44
Speaker 2: any point. As we get to our picks, the Chiefs
30:47
Speaker 2: looking to become the first team in history to win
30:49
Speaker 2: three consecutive Super Bowls, Jalen Hurts and Saquon trying to
30:52
Speaker 2: get their first winning rings.
30:54
Speaker 3: Who is winning Super Bowl fifty nine? Greg Rosenthal?
30:57
Speaker 4: It has to be the Philadelphia Eagles.
31:00
Speaker 5: Thirty three to thirty is the score. When you think
31:03
Speaker 5: about the NFL lately, maybe you're thinking it's all a
31:06
Speaker 5: little too similar. Four of the last six years in
31:10
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl, it's been either forty nine Ers Chiefs
31:13
Speaker 5: or Eagles Chiefs.
31:14
Speaker 4: So what do you do to change that up?
31:17
Speaker 5: You add a new player to the dynamic, and that
31:20
Speaker 5: player has defined that season this season, and that player
31:23
Speaker 5: is Saquon Barkley. In the same way that Patrick Mahomes
31:27
Speaker 5: came into our lives and won that MVP back in
31:29
Speaker 5: twenty eighteen and then won the Super Bowl in twenty nineteen,
31:32
Speaker 5: Saquon Barkley has come to this Eagles team and he's
31:35
Speaker 5: changed the entire landscape. They are the most talented team
31:40
Speaker 5: in the NFL if you go through the rosters at
31:42
Speaker 5: most positions, I'm taking Eagles over Chiefs, but they haven't
31:47
Speaker 5: been able to match them in terms of their best player.
31:49
Speaker 5: And I know It's a running back, and running backs
31:51
Speaker 5: don't matter as much as quarterbacks. But this running back
31:54
Speaker 5: plus this offensive line in this season does matter just
31:58
Speaker 5: as much as Patrick Mahomes and Saquon Barkley has had
32:01
Speaker 5: a season we will be talking about for the rest
32:04
Speaker 5: of our lives. And the only way that that season
32:07
Speaker 5: can finish is with him up on the podium winning
32:09
Speaker 5: that MVP Award. With like one hundred and seventy total
32:12
Speaker 5: yards from scrimmage thirty three to thirty.
32:14
Speaker 4: The Eagles get it done.
32:17
Speaker 7: I don't know how I can follow that.
32:18
Speaker 6: However, I do have a one point win for the Eagles.
32:21
Speaker 7: My model a little bit surprised me. I guess if
32:24
Speaker 7: I'm picking with my gut, I would have gone with
32:26
Speaker 7: the Chiefs.
32:26
Speaker 6: However, the model has twenty eight to twenty seven. Same
32:29
Speaker 6: model that got me here, same model that went about
32:31
Speaker 6: seventy two percent for the season. So I have to
32:34
Speaker 6: trust it here.
32:34
Speaker 7: On this one. I had to get that in. They're
32:36
Speaker 7: just in the one.
32:37
Speaker 4: And that got you Eagles Chiefs before this season.
32:39
Speaker 7: Hey, you know, But ultimately to me, Dallas.
32:41
Speaker 6: Goddard is one of the biggest difference makers. Greg talked
32:44
Speaker 6: about it earlier this is an area where the Chiefs
32:47
Speaker 6: have a weakness. And if there's one thing that I
32:50
Speaker 6: think is going to be hard, it's picking your poison.
32:52
Speaker 7: Which poison are you going to pick?
32:53
Speaker 6: You to pick the aj Brown poison, take one, to
32:56
Speaker 6: take one Barkley poison that Ivanta Smith that you're.
32:58
Speaker 7: Gonna have to pick one.
32:59
Speaker 6: And Dallas Goddard to me, has the best opportunity to
33:02
Speaker 6: be in the spot right where Jalen Hurts needs him
33:04
Speaker 6: at the moment that he needs.
33:05
Speaker 7: Him, with just enough time.
33:06
Speaker 6: And I mean, if they're going to give him that
33:08
Speaker 6: much separation, then maybe it's a lot of Dallas gotter,
33:10
Speaker 6: but ultimately that's going to be a different surprise.
33:12
Speaker 4: The model won't with the Eagles. Now you gotta go
33:14
Speaker 4: Chiefs here.
33:15
Speaker 5: Well, I mean we cannot be given a Memeler against
33:18
Speaker 5: the best team of all time.
33:20
Speaker 2: It's important to have differences, and I think a lot
33:22
Speaker 2: of things are different than the last time the Eagles
33:24
Speaker 2: played the Chiefs, but we're not different in our picks.
33:29
Speaker 2: Winning a wow Argan than Cynthia and Greg. I've got
33:33
Speaker 2: thirty two to twenty because Vic Fanjo isn't coming in
33:36
Speaker 2: as a consultant he's actually coordinated this defense. Quinnon, Mitchell, Cooper, Dejean,
33:43
Speaker 2: all these guys were not Eagles. But it's Nolan Smith,
33:46
Speaker 2: it is Jalen Carter. It's a couple of dogs, and
33:48
Speaker 2: I think are the reason that the Eagles are winning
33:51
Speaker 2: this game because, as Greg pointed out, there's just a good,
33:53
Speaker 2: solid team positioned by position all across the board. And yes,
33:58
Speaker 2: like there is samness, the Chiefs are good. Patrick Mahomes
34:00
Speaker 2: is still a rare and good quarterback. But sometimes you
34:03
Speaker 2: lose games. So sometimes we lose games because there's an
34:05
Speaker 2: overwhelming talent differential, and I think.
34:08
Speaker 3: That talent differential.
34:09
Speaker 2: Who favors the Philadelphia Eagles NFL Game to View is

Speaker 2: to get the full terms. Now there's a secondary question
34:33
Speaker 2: the Eagles win the Super Bowl. As we all selected
34:36
Speaker 2: who's going to win the MVP, here are the odds.
34:38
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes of course the far and away favorite, and
34:41
Speaker 2: then Saquon and Jalen Hurts. So let us make our
34:44
Speaker 2: picks for the Super Bowl fifty nine MVP.
34:46
Speaker 3: Who is yours? Greg Wilson.
34:48
Speaker 5: I just made a whole big speech about how saquin
34:50
Speaker 5: and Barclay is going to be holding the the MVP,
34:52
Speaker 5: But actually I'm going to Jalen Hurts for this question.
34:55
Speaker 4: He's the quarterback. I like the odds better.
34:57
Speaker 5: It's more about the value you have a running back
34:59
Speaker 5: there as a pretty heavy favorite to be the MVP.
35:02
Speaker 5: I do think people get into narratives. Barkley would be
35:05
Speaker 5: a great narrative. But if Jalen Hurts puts together like
35:08
Speaker 5: a two hundred and fifty yard two touchdown type of game,
35:11
Speaker 5: I think everyone would really get on board with. Hey,
35:14
Speaker 5: let's give this quarterback his shine. He has been so
35:17
Speaker 5: important for this team. Quarterbacks almost always win this award.
35:21
Speaker 4: Let's go Jalen.
35:21
Speaker 2: And you know, Jalen Hurts already has like a rolodex
35:24
Speaker 2: of very hard quotes that people are gonna put on
35:26
Speaker 2: Instagram if he gets that award, which Cindya generally goes
35:30
Speaker 2: to quarterback, Like you have to do something really special
35:32
Speaker 2: to win this award as a not quarterback.
35:34
Speaker 6: Thirty three quarterbacks, eight wide receivers, seven running backs, only
35:37
Speaker 6: ten total defensive players. Ever, but I'm thinking Jalen Carter,
35:40
Speaker 6: might you are eleventh in these MVP. Why Well, we
35:44
Speaker 6: know that the old line is an issue, and I
35:45
Speaker 6: know Jalen Carter kind of lines up not in the
35:47
Speaker 6: area on the left side, he'd be on the offensive right. However,
35:50
Speaker 6: he can be such a huge wrecking ball that he
35:53
Speaker 6: could even make Creed Humphrey look like not as good
35:55
Speaker 6: as a player as he is, and Humphrey is electric.
35:58
Speaker 6: So when I'm looking at the opportunity here to go
36:00
Speaker 6: a little off menu, to go a little bit value shopping,
36:03
Speaker 6: to go a little bit of upside looking, I'm going
36:05
Speaker 6: for Jalen Carter because we know the quarterbacks probably are
36:08
Speaker 6: going to get it sake one probably after.
36:10
Speaker 7: That, but why not be fun? We like fun. Jalen Carter?
36:13
Speaker 2: All right, So we got two quarterback picks there, myself
36:15
Speaker 2: and Greg and Cynthia going off the board with a
36:17
Speaker 2: defensive lineman. Thanks for watching Game debut presented by Caesar
36:21
Speaker 2: Sportsbook All season. We hope you enjoy Super Bowl fifty
36:23
Speaker 2: nine for Cynthia and greg I Patrick, See you next year.
