RIP Mike Ditka | Bears EMBARRASSED by Green Bay | Mike Evans Best Diss Ever | Week 6 NFL Picks · DadBodSportsCards Podcast

• DadBodSportsCards: Welcome to the Dad Bot Sports Card Podcast. We are into week six. So we'll give our week six NFL picks, but we will talk about week five notes. We didn't do an NFC unfiltered episode this week, not because the Bears lost, it's just the schedule and everything. Everybody's busy, everybody's tired. so it's like we didn't do that, but we'll talk about a little a little bit in our week five notes and everything. so let's start off with Aaron. Do you got any week five notes, buddy? FlintTown: OCD. Aaron: Patriots, they look good. Drake Mays balling out. That that was a huge turnaround between the earlier in the season where he was like what one first six or touchdown interceptions. We're not gonna talk just about the Steelers just yet. But I have a question for you guys, right? So how do we feel about the Rams defense? DadBodSportsCards: I mean it's okay. Aaron: Like just like it's okay, it's an okay, you know, they can be good. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Aaron: Yeah. How do we feel about the Texans defense? It got better. Yeah. Now how d yeah, they play Tennessee. Now, DadBodSportsCards: I mean it got better, but the buttons but but they played Tennessee. Right? That's who they played? Yeah. Yeah. FlintTown: Yeah. Aaron: how do we feel about the Lions defense? FlintTown: They need to get better. They DadBodSportsCards: I mean it's it's awful. Yeah. Aaron: They need to get better. FlintTown: showed up this game, but they DadBodSportsCards: Ari Arizona. Yeah. FlintTown: still need to do some moves. Aaron: Yeah. Alright, two more teams. How do we feel about the Patriots defense? DadBodSportsCards: They're they're they're solid. Aaron: I I think they're one of the better defenses. Like last year they're one of the better. This year than one of the maybe not one of the best, but one of the better ones. And the Chargers defense. DadBodSportsCards: They're I mean they're okay. They're not great. They're but they're not awful, but they're like, yeah. Aaron: Yeah. I think they're FlintTown: average. Aaron: I think they're a good defense, their offense just posed them down. Alright. And that'll be important later. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. he's prepping it. Look at that. Okay. So Aaron: Yeah. That'll be that'll be important later. DadBodSportsCards: I forgot to introduce everybody. We got Aaron. We Flinttown. And then we got our special guest who's doing the chat picks tonight. We got Dom, who's a Chicago fan, FlintTown: Mm-hmm. DadBodSportsCards: obviously. But he's gonna be doing the special guest picks tonight. Whatnot is having like their whatnot nine show tomorrow. Usually I run on Wednesday nights, but I pushed it back to tomorrow because I'm doing the whatnot nine show. It's nothing special, it's just it's just a title and everything. But you got anything else for week five, Aaron? Aaron: no. DadBodSportsCards: No. All right, Flint, what you got for week five? FlintTown: lions showed up when, the coach told them that they got to, and, I still think we need to do some trades. I think they need to get a corner back or two for that because like the rest of the defense looks pretty good. The defensive line looks really good. They're like. the highest in the NFL with sacks. The linebackers are decent. It's a good linebacker in core. there's some young guys making some plays that's on the back end of that defense that I'm excited for, but they're young. They're going to make mistakes. So it would be better to have a veteran leadership. That's a good player to get traded in. But, we're back baby! DadBodSportsCards: One win after after beating the Cardinals. Thank they're back. All right, Don, our special guest. You got any week five notes? Dom: not a whole lot. appreciate the invite. it's first time on here. the unfiltered one, so I've been on a couple times, so appreciate being on the main show here. as far as last week goes, I mean I was mainly focused on the Bears and that absolutely atrocious football game. So I would choose to forget that if I could. outside of that the Monday night game was incredible. the Rams and Bills should go a long way in this season. By the season's end they I mean they may face off again, who knows? but yeah, that's really it. The Bears game just kind of destroyed my weekend, so that's all I got. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. And as it should. Like it was an awful game. So my week five notes, first we'll start off with rest in peace to Mike Dicka. that was a huge loss for the Bears family and everything. So I got I got the I got the sweater vest on and and the tie. I'm not really happy with this tie, but we'll get we'll get a better tie because this will be my Halloween costume as well. but yeah, week five notes. I mean, as much like I Everybody, there was a lot of people texting me this weekend about Green Bay kicked your ass, whatever, whatever. And like I didn't get angry this weekend. I think when we talked about it last week leading up to this week, and I know I did it with with Dom in the text, we didn't like the way the week was going. It felt weird. It was like a weird feeling, like because we were the favorites, and it just didn't like the week didn't feel right without getting any kind of pushback from Green Bay Packers fans. Like I didn't get any. All week. They were quiet all week. And as and maybe that was the right w thing to do. They've been waiting for this game ever since we knocked them out of the playoffs last year. So it was a big game for them. It's a big game with all the talk with the Bears and the national media and then Ben Johnson, how wonderful and great he is. And we'll get back to that. but yeah, like like when we lost, it's like, okay, like, I mean, it sucks that we lost to Green Bay, but normally I'm not the bigger picture guy. Usually that's Dom. Yeah, I'm not the bigger picture guy. Dom: That's true. DadBodSportsCards: But I knew we lost when Caleb was in the pregame throwing jump passes and they made him inactive. When they made him inactive, it showed me that the Bears didn't want to win. Like if you have your best player, and granted, he might be 80%. Maybe he wasn't maybe he's not 100%, but no football player is 100% right now. And maybe he's at 80%. But as we saw, 80% of Caleb is 150 times better. than Tyson Bajent. And I'm glad finally Bears fans got to see the true Tyson Bajon. The past we went two and one with a with backup quarterbacks. That's all we can ask. Like that's that's above 500. You know, that's what 66%. And hopefully we get Kayla back for the Atlanta game this weekend. But went two and one, look at the bigger picture. Like it could we could have went and three, but we didn't. And our run game you know, disguised a lot of our weaknesses, especially at the quarterback position. I mean, if we're our run game's kicking, like, you know, like we could beat you with our backup quarterbacks. But if we're not kicking on our run game, as you saw, we have a quarterback problem and we need a playmaker like Caleb to go above and beyond because we've we talked about it all the time. Like he has it. So he he might not have beaten Green Bay if he was playing because of how bad our defense was playing and how bad our run game was without Monungai. But maybe it would have been closer, but who the fuck knows? Congrats to Green Bay. You whooped our asses. Hopefully it humbled Ben Johnson. But bes beside all that, because we didn't have the unfiltered show. I mean, Detroit won. Detroit had a huge win. Their defense stepped up. I know it's Arizona and I keep saying it's the Cardinals, but the Cardinals offense isn't bad. Now they were able to hold down Michael Wilson. Trey McBride still blew up, I think. And then I believe he had like the catch of the year so far. Like like he Aaron: Yeah, that was a crazy catch, yeah. DadBodSportsCards: tipped it to himself when the guy, like he was. Pretty much hugging the Detroit Lions player, defender on him. And then, you know, but like that offense, Goff played perfect. G I mean, and and we'll we'll talk about that. There's been 10 touchdowns for the Lions since that podcast with Amonra and his brother and Goff. And that's none of those touchdowns, none of those touchdowns FlintTown: Fuck yes! DadBodSportsCards: have gone to Amonra. And we will probably say Amonra's probably the second best player on that team. We'll go Gibbs as first. Gibbs probably the best player on the team. And then we'll probably go Amonra, the second best player. You're telling me you scored 10 touchdowns and Amonra doesn't have one? Then I mean we'll FlintTown: Hey, he wasn't open. DadBodSportsCards: I mean he was, he was. And then he kept he was saying, feed me. Cause so now you got the wide receiver telling the offensive coordinator, feed me, get me the ball. He had six catches for like sixty something yards, because I have him in fantasy. and then they did give him a couple like on first and goal passes, but golf kind of threw those passes like really bad. I don't know if he did on purpose because he's not feeding Almanra. I mean, it's just something to think about because Detroit's on a bye this week, so we can't talk we're not talking about him this week. So we'll bring it up now. That could be something going on. And Yahoo Fantasy did report. And that's how I got the numbers. How that's how I knew it was 10 touchdowns. But that podcast was a little weird. Like Amandra called him out. You don't eat with a team. And then, you know, Goff write it back and say, hey, you don't come in early to eat with me. And then they don't hang out. And then they talked about and FlintTown: whatever. DadBodSportsCards: then and then they talked about then the I don't know if you saw the rest of the podcast. I've only seen clips of it. I don't I don't watch their podcast. Maybe I should start watching it because there's gonna be Detroit drama that's gonna be happening, especially if they especially FlintTown: I watched it. DadBodSportsCards: if they trade Amonra. But FlintTown: They're not trade them. DadBodSportsCards: but like they also talked about like Goff doesn't even play video games with them. He's like, and then and Right FlintTown: Yeah, cause he has a newborn baby! DadBodSportsCards: and then but he said he's like but but then he but then he big brothered him. He's like, Well, once you have a family, then you'll understand that you can avoid so there's a little riff there, I think. I mean it Sometimes the little riffs start small, like me and Strat, me and Gambit. They all started small and then it just blew up, right? It just fucking FlintTown: Yes! DadBodSportsCards: blew up. And maybe that's where we're at with Amonra. Amonra, Amonra wants to score. And 10 touchdowns. That's a lot of touchdowns. But the biggest upset of the week, FlintTown: It'll get us time. DadBodSportsCards: the biggest upset of the week was obviously Tampa Bay beating Dallas, Aaron: Beating Dallas. DadBodSportsCards: which is fucking crazy. And I want to say, like, FlintTown: Yes. DadBodSportsCards: Dak Prescott got a lot of heat for that fan saying embarrassing to him and how Dak looked back. And then it was a driver. It was a driver. And then eventually this driver got fired. but Dak, but FlintTown: That's crazy. DadBodSportsCards: Dak did look back at him and the guy didn't say anything. And then when Dak looked away, he said he's Yeah, that was me. And Dak looked back again and the guy didn't say anything. If you're gonna say something to a professional athlete and they look back at you, man up and say it again. FlintTown: Say it. Say it. Yup. DadBodSportsCards: Like, FlintTown: Yup. DadBodSportsCards: I will always defend athletes because they always hear a lot of shit during the game and I'm sure it's lot of bad stuff. And, you know, they have to learn to ignore it because they're professionals and everything. But sometimes, you know, like I mean, emotions get the best of you. And him looking back and that guy got quiet. Don't get quiet. Like just keep saying it. You know, keep saying it. I mean, you have your right to say it. And then he's not it's not like he's gonna confront you. He just looked back to see who was saying it and then you got quiet. But I mean it sucks for because I I like Dak. I th I think I think he's a good dude. He didn't get the guy fired. It was just it was just something that I mean, they were probably pissed that they lost against the Bucks and the management was like, All right, get this fucker out of this building. He doesn't be talking to our our quarterback that way. All right. I'm trying to think. Anything else from that was the most surprising was the Bucks beating Dallas. I'm trying to think if there's anything else surprising. I'm looking at the at the notes here. the tie between Dom: The end that Yeah. That was ridiculous. DadBodSportsCards: The tie between the commanders and giants. Like all the memes have been hilarious because it was week five. So it's like in honor of JD five, neither of us are gonna win in week five. Or it's like, five seconds left, no one's gonna score. Like in in honor of JD five. All the memes were great, but that that was just that was just awful. That was that was awful. That that was Eberdouche. That was Eberdouche time management, is what that was. Like Dan I don't expect that from Dan Aaron: Mm-hmm. DadBodSportsCards: Quinn. I don't know what happened there. I I think it's more Jane Daniels' fault. He should have threw the ball away rather than just like going down. Like maybe he thought he had maybe he thought he had a timeout. But either way, you have to know that in that situation, especially be trying to beat a division opponent. Like that game was going back and forth that whole game, especially in overtime as well. All right. So you guys got anything else for week five? Time to move on. All right, let's go, let's go to the the standing. So You will see the standings pop up. Flint did not do so well last week. He went six eight and one. Chat went seven, seven and one. And Aaron and myself, bless you, Aaron and myself went eight, six and one. So n even at eight, six and one wasn't great, but that tie, like I mean, the tie could either help or hurt, like, cause I picked the commanders and I think Chat picked the commanders and the other two picked the Giants. I don't I don't I can't remember. Well, I gotta listed, but I'm I have it covered now. You picked the commanders because JD5 was playing. Yeah, and so did I. I said either FlintTown: I picked the commanders. DadBodSportsCards: way, I'll pick the commanders. so on the season, we got chat that's two games above 500 at 24, 22, and one. Aaron is in second place at 44, 34, and one. Flint is in third at 40, 38, and one. And I'm at the top at 49, 29, and one. So I got a five-game lead on Aaron, and Aaron's got a four-game lead on Flint. But again, it's a long season. any given Sunday. all right, so let's get into week six, the Thursday night football game, which tonight is Wednesday night. So t tomorrow's game and then during the I'll I'll also we'll also have a feeler with what some of the people in the whatnot chat. But Dom's gonna speak for the chat tonight to see if he can get them above just two games above five hundred to to to make a run at this. Dom: I got this. DadBodSportsCards: and then we'll and then and then yeah we'll we'll we'll do something when Flint comes in last like maybe we'll have him go streaking or something. So FlintTown: I can't! DadBodSportsCards: Just like it, just like his lines. All right. So let's go to the FlintTown: Mm-hmm. DadBodSportsCards: Thursday night football game. It's I think it's gonna be a good game. Even though this week's picks, I think, were a little bit easier. So if this is the week to go undefeated on your parlays, this is the week to do it, I think. But this one is gonna be one of the tougher games. we got the Seattle Seahawks at Denver. We'll have we'll have our special guests go first, then Aaron and Flint, and then myself. So Dom, our special guest speaking for chat, who do you got between Seattle Sea Chickens and the Denver Broncos? Dom: Yeah, so this one I agree is the most difficult one of the week. well, there were a couple, but this one's tough. I'm going Seattle. I just think they're a more complete team right now. Denver without their cornerbacks, Bo Nicks, who knows what he actually is. I mean, it's been a roller coaster. Now Sam Darnold hasn't been great either. So this I anticipate being a really close game. possibly going down to the last couple minutes of the you know, to decide it. you know. I I don't see this being more than like a three point win for either team, but I'm gonna take Seattle. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. Aaron, who you got? Aaron: I got Seattle. I don't have any faith in Denver whatsoever. Just not I don't think they're a good team. Like I think they have a good defense, but that offense is not good at all. Bonex is not good quarterback. Jalen Waddell has been dropping a lot of passes. and I just think Seattle, they have a more consistent offense and that's what's gonna get DadBodSportsCards: Yep. All right. And then we'll go back. Dom Hoot, you a player to watch? Dom: it's a good question. I would say JSM, but he's banged up, so I don't know. I I'm gonna say Sam Darnold. I I wanna see if he can kind of write the ship and and get back on track to the Sam Darnold he was last year. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Aaron, who's your player to watch? Aaron: Jalen Waddle, there's been a rift between him DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Yeah. Aaron: and Bonex. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. I think overall that passing game, 'cause even Sutton's not catching who's who's been catching the balls then? 'Cause Sutton hasn't been having a great year. Waddle's not having a great year. So I guess maybe he's just spreading it around like amongst all them. Yeah, okay. All right, Flint, who you got between Seattle and Denver? FlintTown: I also think this is going to be a close game and it is at mile high, which DadBodSportsCards: Mm-hmm. FlintTown: that is a factor. A lot of teams don't do great at Denver, but I'll go with them. Same as them guys give me Seattle and Sam Darnold as my player to watch because like Dom said, he hasn't been. He hasn't been the same darn old since last year. And he's been about average, so DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Yeah. FlintTown: we'll see if he can pick it up. I think Seattle is a really good team if they can pick it up. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. So Seattle coming off the tough loss against San Francisco. which by far Mike Evans has probably like the biggest diss in the history of dissing a player. Like what which digs is it? Which dig w Aaron: Trayvon. DadBodSportsCards: Trayvon digs was talking smack to him and Evans is like, he knows him. He just can't recognize him through the helmet or whatever, and then he Pulls his shoulder to see the name on the back of the jersey, which is by far the greatest this ever. And I believe Mike Evans. If you heard him in the postgame talking about, he's like, I don't know who it was. He's like, he's like, I know Diggs was on a team, and I know Diggs. He's like, we've gotten to it before. He's a, he's he pretty much called him a buddy, too. But he's like, but at that time he didn't know because he couldn't tell because of the helmet. And don't know if he had like a visor on or whatever. So that's why he did it. And it wasn't like to be like That much of a dick, you know, and everything. But I I thought that was great. And all my TikToks are coming out with like stickers for it, just like the Caleb Robes. Fucking love it. I want to buy it, but I want to buy I want one more than one sticker. Just see his shirt. Yeah. It is by far FlintTown: I was gonna buy the shirt. I was gonna buy the shirt! DadBodSportsCards: one of the best, the best disses I've ever seen. But I'm FlintTown: Yo. DadBodSportsCards: right there with you guys. I'm with the the Seattle Seahawks. I think they could be I think they could beat Denver. It Denver will have the home field at mile high, but I think enough of Seattle's defense will play well. to keep them in the game. And even if Sam Darnold makes a couple mistakes, they have a better running game right now. Even if it's with a no name right now, well Emmanuel Wilson, who's a former Packer. But that that dude's been playing pretty well filling in for Jadarian Price, who's an overrated Notre Dame player who's awful. Who's FlintTown: He he he he he. DadBodSportsCards: awful, awful, awful. But he's on the injured reserve. but again, the bet the best availability or the best ability is availability. So maybe maybe he can get things back on track when he's off of IR. But yeah, Seattle, my player to watch is gonna be it's gonna be Bo Nicks. Bo Nicks, you need a big Bo Nicks game in order for Denver to win this game. like we just talked about Waddle, Sutton. They haven't really gotten a lot of a lot of catches this season. Their passing game for Denver hasn't been doing well. I think to keep up with JSN and Seattle, you're gonna have to put some points on that team. And Bo Nicks is my player to watch. All right. So the first Sunday game, it is in London again. And we have the London Jaguars who are the home team this this time. And it's at nine thirty in the morning. And we got Houston traveling to London for this game. So we got the Houston Texans at the London Jaguars. Who do you got, Dom? Dom: So this one this one I picked pretty quickly and I took the Jags. them being out there for a second week, I think they're settled in. but Houston is desperate. So, you know, I think they'll put up a fight. I still like the Jags though. I just think they're a more complete team. They have an offense where, you know, Houston, you know I'm I'm not a big CJ Stroud guy, but he hasn't played better than DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Dom: I so I gotta give him credit, but I still think the Jags have too much more firepower. so and my player to watch is I'm gonna say Marv. I think he's playing, right? After the trade. So I'm DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, yep, he's playing. Dom: curious to see how that works and see if he's got any anything with CJ Stroud like back in the day in college. See if they still have that chemistry. DadBodSportsCards: Yep. Yep. What about you, Aaron? Aaron: So my original pick was Houston, but I didn't realize that it was in London and Jags are staying there for the second week in a row. So I'm gonna pick Jacksonville. Reason why I wanted to pick Houston was because I think Marvin Harrison he will I think he'll bring another step to the offense. Just because of that connection that he has with CJ Stroud. And that defense, I get they played the Titans, but D'Amico Ryan's just calling plays now and they played a lot better. But Because it's in London, I'm gonna pick Jacksonville. They're already there, so that they're not traveling so far. And Jacksonville is still a good team. They have a good defense. Their wide receiver room is iffy just because I don't like Myers or BTJ that much. But Parker Washington's really good. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. He had a huge game last game too against Philly. Aaron: Yeah, so my player watch is probably gonna be Parker Washington. He's probably gonna be the number one receiver for the Jags. DadBodSportsCards: All right. Okay. What about you, Flint? What you got? FlintTown: I also got Jags and it is because they've been there for two weeks and that is their home, right? That's their second home. Houston is interesting with getting Marv. I think that's going to be. a good like watch for the next couple of weeks because if like Dom said, if he can connect with CJ, that offense could be dangerous because he, him and CJ in college work, it was crazy good, but it's the NFL. It's all different level. So I know he didn't look good in the Cardinals. So that could, that could tell. be a big bust for a draft pick. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, they were able to get a second forum, weren't they? Yeah. Aaron: Mm-hmm. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Which I thought was crazy. But All right. So I'm right there with you guys with Jacksonville. I think Jacksonville in the NFL, it's probably one of the most complete teams. They have they have a decent running game. They have a good quarterback. their wide receiver core isn't bad. Like I know Aaron said he's not a fan of Jacoby Myers and BTJ. Like, I'm not a fan of BTJ either, but I think Jacoby Myers is a fine number two to go along with Parker Washington, who has shown that he's Trevor Lawrence's favorite target. And their defense is pretty good. And they might have one of the best kickers in the game too in Cam Little. So that's a c really complete team and they got good coaching. So I think I think they're gonna make a run this year. they made one last year, but I think this year they're winning close games, so they know how to win at the end of these games. Now, could they have just been lucky beating Philly last week with that? But I mean, th they got the kick return back in field goal range with one second left. I mean, I know that's a little bit lucky too, but you know, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. And I think I think they have a mix of both right now. I do want to touch on the Marvin Harrison thing. I think this is a good thing for him. Like Flint talks about like I always I say that Cam Ward's a bust, but Flint says maybe he just needs a different environment. He needs more players around him, and maybe that's what it is with Marvin Harrison in this case. there's a lot of pressure that goes if you're a top five pick, especially if you're a son of a Hall of Famer, even though that Hall FlintTown: Thank DadBodSportsCards: of Famer is also a gangbanger and shoots people at the car wash, apparently. But FlintTown: You hear that? DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, yeah, yeah. FlintTown: You see it? DadBodSportsCards: So there's a lot for him to live up to. He's got a gangster dad who's in a hall of fame, and he was a top five pick in the wide receiver, right? So there's a lot to live up to in that. And maybe the pressure got to him. I mean, the h he's been highlighted probably ever since elementary school. And then he definitely was highlighted when he was at Ohio State with CJ Stroud and everything. So maybe he just needs an environment. He needs a quarterback. I'm not a big CJ Stroud fan either, but CJ Stroud's better than any quarterback that the Cardinals have put out in Harrison's career. So, and then him being a number two now behind Nico, and then, you know, eventually take Dell will get back. So there's not going to be so much pressure on him. Pressure's on that team, though, because they're 0 5. this is a 1 4. Okay. So 1 Aaron: Mm mm. One and four. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: 4. that's right, because they beat, they beat the Titans last week. but they don't really have a running game, and Montgomery's out. it's gonna be the Woody Mark show to see if he can carry this running game because they haven't been running the ball well at all. But I'm right there with you guys, Jacksonville. I want to see what Marvin Harrison could do. I think it's I think they're gonna showcase him to show, like, hey, this is why we got a second round pick for him, and he's not as bad as what everybody says. So, yep, same, same as you guys. All right, next, next game. and we're we're getting right to it. It's the Chicago Bears in Atlanta. And I checked the reports before this game. It does look like Penix is gonna play. So he got hit in the ribs in the last game. he's probably got some like maybe some broken or cracked ribs. He's probably just really hurting. FlintTown: bruised. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, brute bruised. So I mean, the rib injury, especially for a quarterback, you're moving around that area a lot when you throw, so it's it's probably very painful. I would have loved to see Tua, but we got into this debate last week about. it was it a coincidence that Atlanta's offense started kicking because Penix is back, or was it just you know just a coincidence? Aaron and Flint think that Penix, Penix is a game changer, a game breaker, whatever you want to call it. I don't see that. And I think last week's game showed that. because who who did they lose to again? Who did Atlanta lose to? Aaron: Baltimore. DadBodSportsCards: Baltimore with a backup, which the Bears did last year. But that backup, I mean, he's a good backup. Huntley's a good backup. But Aaron: Yeah, hunt need to go back up. FlintTown: to to the loss at game Aaron: Yeah. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: I mean it sh it should have never got FlintTown: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: you okay, you could blame Tua. He was in for like four plays. You could blame him, maybe not even four plays. It might have only been like two or three plays. But you could blame all you want, but they were in that position because Penix didn't get that offense going and Bijan didn't have a he didn't have a great like what we're accustomed to, like a great game, Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: especially at a primetime game. But let's let's start off with Dom. We got the Chicago Bears at Atlanta Falcons. Who you got, Dom? Dom: Alright. It pains me to say it. but I'm taking Atlanta. I know. DadBodSportsCards: Jesus. Dom: Here's why. I hope Caleb I hope Caleb's back, but Caleb being back doesn't fix Kalmanungay's injury, who may or may not play, and even if he does, won't be a hundred percent. DeAndre Swift is not a hundred percent. We're gonna see a whole lot of Roshan Johnson. Gross. defensively you have Dio may not play, Sweat's not gonna play, TJ Edwards probably isn't gonna play, and then Stevenson is also banged up. That's four starters on defense. That's not a great defense to begin with. I see Bijan close to two hundred total yards in this game. I don't know that there's a whole lot Caleb's gonna be able to do. If they can't stop them, they're gonna control the clock. I I hope I'm wrong. I hope I hope I look like a fool when this is done, but I feel worse DadBodSportsCards: You will. Dom: about this game than I did last week going into that game. So we just gotta get through this one and get on to the Thursday night against the Patriots, but I think this one I think we take the L. DadBodSportsCards: All right. Who's your player to watch? Dom: I I'd wanna see what Caleb looks like, so he'll be my player to watch for sure. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. All right, Aaron, who you got? Aaron: I'm torn on this pick. DadBodSportsCards: Jesus Christ. Aaron: Because Atlanta has a good defense. And I think they also have a good enough offense to expose the Bears' defense. Caleb is back, probably, most likely. Haven't DadBodSportsCards: We haven't heard officially yet, yeah. Aaron: heard officially. But I'm gonna because guess how close he was to being back last week. I'm gonna make my pick as if he's back. I don't know what his mobility is gonna look like. I'm not saying he's a bad pocket passer, but his specialty is running out the pocket and on the move. And that could be limited because of his hamstring. So I'm gonna pick Atlanta. I think Atlanta's offense is good enough to expose the Bears defense, especially like you said, all those guys being out. And then Atlanta's defense is not bad. Atlanta has a a solid defense. Yeah. They got some DB's DadBodSportsCards: They had a good pass rush and they got some D they got some D B's too. Yep. Aaron: too. FlintTown: There you go, yeah. Aaron: And I just don't know if like like I said, like the Manungai's missing, that run game takes a hit, their wide receiver room, Adunze, he's not bad, but he can have bad games. DadBodSportsCards: He's bad. He's bad. Yeah. Aaron: He's not top ten pick good, but I wouldn't say he's bad. Nah, I don't know, I don't think DadBodSportsCards: He's not even first round pick good. Yeah. Aaron: so. yeah, so I'm gonna pick Atlanta. My player to watch is gonna be Penix. If he can stay healthy the whole game. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Aaron: And just because if he gets hurt and they have to put Tua or Cooper Russian, Chicago's winning that game. That offense is not doing anything. So FlintTown: You're absolutely right. Aaron: if Panix can stay healthy and that bear's pass rush just does not get to him, that lane's gonna win that game. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. All right, Flint, who you got, buddy? FlintTown: I also have Alana. DadBodSportsCards: Thank God. Thank God you dumb you dumb fucks. Thank God. FlintTown: Because I just looked it up about Penex. I was wanting to see if he was in. I don't know if Caleb's gonna be in. I know you guys said he probably will be in. But like Dom said, know, is his mobility gonna be there? And it's probably not gonna be 100%. And Atlanta's defense is good. You know, they're going to take control on the ground and run the ball as much as they can. Even if Penex is healthy enough to throw, I think they're going to try to run the ball as much as they can and tick down that clock and just play the ground game. But Bijan is my player to watch. DadBodSportsCards: I mean, everything's pointing to Bijan's gonna have a monster game, right? Everything's pointing FlintTown: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: to that. It it is in Atlanta, so I think they'll they'll roll the roof open. So it'll be I think it's nice weather gonna be in Atlanta. So it's gonna like it's gonna be perfect weather. You got you got Penix coming back off that rib injury. He's apparently gonna be great because you guys think he's this big ass game breaking fucking quarterback in the NFL, which I think he's trash. FlintTown: I'm hoping. Aaron: No one's say like DadBodSportsCards: right, right. Aaron: you're you're phrasing it like we're saying he's a top quarterback. No one's saying he's FlintTown: No. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: No, but you but you but you think you think the success of their offense was because of him and not because Bijan was just blowing up the teams that he was playing against. FlintTown: I think he has a huge dimension to that offense to make it. Aaron: Yeah. I think he's the final puzzle piece. DadBodSportsCards: Maybe. FlintTown: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. I I then how then how do they lose against Huntley and the Ravens? Aaron: Because Tua came in and threw a pick in he threw a DadBodSportsCards: Tua came in it was overtime, right? Aaron: pick in overtime, yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. But FlintTown: Dude. DadBodSportsCards: what about regulation when Penix was fine? Aaron: He was fine. I'm not saying that's I FlintTown: How- when- when- Aaron: that's why I'm saying he's not a he's not a top tier quarterback where he's gonna win him every game. Like if Bijan's not having a good game, I'm not saying he's gonna win him that game. I'm saying he's gonna have that offense clicking. That offense was not clicking with Tua as we saw it in overtime. And we saw it, well, I think they only had like two plays last year. DadBodSportsCards: That offense wasn't clicking in it during even regulation with Penix in that game. Aaron: They were clicking a lot better. DadBodSportsCards: Well yeah, because two a sucks. Yeah, so that's obviously a lot better. Aaron: Yes, that's this my point. He FlintTown: When did PENIX get hit in the ribs? DadBodSportsCards: It was like in the Aaron: It was like DadBodSportsCards: f Aaron: their second to last drive. DadBodSportsCards: yeah, yeah, in the in the game. Yeah. FlintTown: Alright. DadBodSportsCards: All right. I'm picking the Bears. Because the one thing that the Bears do good at is after they lose, they come back and kick ass. Last year they lost. well, we started off 0-2, then I think we won like four or five straight games. Maybe it was four straight games. Then we took another loss to the Ravens, I believe, against Huntley. And and then we I think we won five games after that. So after a loss, the Bears do pretty well. This year. We lost to Minnesota, then we won our next two games. We're backup quarterbacks. If Caleb's not playing, I'm still gonna pick the Bears because it's gonna be Case Keenum. Because I don't know who's worse, Bajan or Tua. I think I might rather have Tua than Bajan. Because at least Tua can at least throw the ball on time. Bajan is over here trying to do jump passes. One, barely getting off the ground. And two, it went to fucking nobody. Like they went to nobody. I've seen that play over and over on fucking X and slash Twitter or whatever you want to call it. Awful. He's been watching Caleb too much. And that's you know, I don't see Case Keenum doing that. So Keenum understands what kind of player he is. Bajan's trying to figure out what kind of quarterback he is. So I hope if Caleb is not playing, we have Case Keenum as our as our quarterback. Either way, Case or Caleb, the Bears are gonna blow out Atlanta. Penix, he ain't it. I understand our defense is hurt. Our defense was hurt all last year. It's next man up on that defense. And maybe we don't have the depth like we what we did last year, but at least we have a healthy Jalen Johnson. But but Jalen Johnson was hurt all last year, right? So London's gonna eat up all over Jalen Johnson. I don't know if we get Kyler Gordon back. I don't really like Kyler Gordon, but if he's back, that's gonna help. But I I think London will have a a pretty big game because Penix will be able to find him. Bijan will probably have a big game. but that's it. I think the Bears are going to put up points. Caleb doing jump passes in pregame last week tells me that he's as close to 100% as he can be. And he wasn't doing it on turf last week. He wasn't doing it in, I mean, weather in Green Bay was nice last week, but he was also doing it on natural grass doing that. And I don't know. I think Caleb's ready to go. He's ready to show. that this offense missed him. And like, let's start putting up points, right? We still have we still have playmakers on offense. Swift is there. Yes, I get it, Menungai, Manungai is not a starting NFL running back. Like we talked about Jalen Warren, who I gotta eat my I gotta eat shit on that one because I was wrong about Jalen Warren. Yeah. I Aaron: No, you're gonna hear it. Yeah. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: I was wrong about that last week. But I firmly believe Kyle Menungai isn't a true starter running back in this league. I think he needs a one two punch. With like a DeAndre Swift. I don't know if Swift is hurt. He could be, but Swift has always been fine, even his banged up. There's something going on with Ben Johnson and Swift right now, is the reason why Swift is not getting a lot of carries. That has to change. If and Ben maybe got humbled. Roshan Johnson sucks. I was kind of a little excited to see him get his opportunity, and he's he fucking shit the bet on that one. I don't even think Roshan Johnson's gonna get a he might get two carries this game. We might call up who Britton Brown. Like, I don't know. And I if if we we're gonna call up a running back from the practice squad, I think. And so I think our offense is gonna be on point this week. We got Rome, we still got Loveland, we got Burden, we got Kamet, who's you know, can make a player here. We still got Swift, and then we're gonna have Caleb back with that offense. I think our offense will will be okay. I think our defense would do enough. I hope to God that Dennis Allen goes to a cover two. That way Thieneman isn't lost out there. And I'm not, I don't want to blame him too much because he's a rookie, right? He was at that spot where Christian Watson was in the end zone on Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: that third and 22. He just made a rookie mistake and didn't look up to see where the ball was. He didn't read Watson's hands. And maybe Watson, I gotta re see it, rewatch it. Maybe Watson at the last second put his hands out that way not to tip Thieneman off that the ball was coming that way. I mean, there's a lot of things wide receivers do to kind Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: of kind of hide that. So I'm not gonna blame Thiederman too much. Theterman was where he was supposed to be. He just didn't finish the play. And he's a rookie. So I mean that's gonna happen. rookie mistake. So I'm FlintTown: Rookie mistake. That happens. DadBodSportsCards: I I don't want to blame. And like I mean, those those plays that Jordan Love was throwing, everybody was talking about how great Jordan Love. Jordan Love plays great against the Bears because for whatever reason, Dennis Allen lets those wide receivers get behind our safeties. I don't understand it. Like, just play cover two against them. Let make Jordan Love like. Slice and dice you apart. Yeah. Yeah. FlintTown: Try to beat you. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Like let him do the Tom Brady six, seven yard passes, and then eventually he's gonna make a mistake, right? Jordan Love was throwing up Hail Marys that game and they were catching him. All right, because none of our DBs were where they were where they were supposed to be. And we could Golden had a great game. you know, he and he burnt the fuck out of Jalen Johnson. But then I saw the replay on that. Golden made a good like head turn. To kind of like the just little subtle things that wide receivers do that fuck up DBs because they know where the ball is going and the DBs don't. So defense is awful. Cornerbacks are awful right now, but I think we I think we can hold London. I mean, watch where as I say this, watch Kyle Pitts is gonna fucking beat us this game. Kyle Pitts might have the fantasy football career and that everybody's been waiting for him to have FlintTown: you DadBodSportsCards: the past six seasons. Aaron: Ha ha ha. DadBodSportsCards: Maybe he blows up this game. FlintTown: You DadBodSportsCards: Because we don't because if Edwards is out too, but Edwards is not really a good we need I don't know. I know I'm rambling, but we need to go to multiple cornerbacks because our we play better in the nickel than we do with with only four D Bs out there. So let's get next What what you got? Dom: What one one thing I want to add about about the corners really quick is our corners struggle more with speed than they do with size. So I'm not super DadBodSportsCards: Yep. Yeah. Dom: concerned about London this week. Just like Justin Jefferson never seems to have great games against the Bears. He does fine for s but for a superstar, he doesn't put up superstar numbers. it's the speed guys that absolutely torch Jalen Johnson and Tyreek DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Dom: Stevenson. They don't really have that threat like Green Bay. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, because London's slow as shit. He's Aaron: Bundan is slope, yeah. DadBodSportsCards: slow. Yeah. But but Kyle Pitts is fast, so who knows? I don't know. Maybe Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Kyle Pitts. My that's my player to watch Kyle Pitts because in order for them to win, for FlintTown: Good player to watch. DadBodSportsCards: and he started getting a couple catches last game. I think he actually got a touchdown pass too last Aaron: He did. DadBodSportsCards: game. Yeah. So you get Kyle Pitts going, working up that middle, then it's gonna open up things for maybe Branch as a speed guy on the Falcons FlintTown: you Aaron: Mm-hmm. DadBodSportsCards: and and everything. Also, I think someone's gonna have a huge game is probably gonna be Jeron Dexter, because he wants to show the Bears you should have never traded me. And he got his big contract with Atlanta and he played pretty well on that Sunday night or Monday night game, whatever it was for Atlanta last week. But I'll pick the Bears. Player to watch is is gonna be Kyle Pitts because he's gonna have to have a huge game and he probably will against this Bears team because this season's so unpredictable. But I don't know. I think that I think the Bears are gonna put up thirty-eight points and maybe Atlanta will be around FlintTown: you DadBodSportsCards: twenty-four. Because Bijan is gonna have Bijan's gonna be you're right, maybe close to two hundred total yards in in this game. They gotta utilize him against his Bears defense. Cause he's fast and he's he's a great player. So two two things that the Bears have a hard time hard time defending. All right. Next game, we're gonna go with the Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns. Who do you got? Dom. Dom: this one's pretty easy. I'm taking the Ravens. the Browns have literally no running backs. They're signing Audric Estime from other practice squads. Like that I mean, I don't know what we're doing there. Casey Concepcion's not gonna play. He's got a concussion. I d I just I don't I don't see it with Cleveland. I also I don't understand how they have as many wins as they have currently, but hey, good for them, DadBodSportsCards: Right, right, yeah. Dom: but I d I don't see them beating Baltimore. DadBodSportsCards: And we don't know we don't know if Lamar's back either. Yeah. I mean he might he I think he's trending playing, but we're not a hundred percent sure either. Yep. Dom: Yeah, I player to watch I guess I'm curious to see how Watson will play against Baltimore's defense, but this game does not excite me at all. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. Aaron, who you got? Aaron: I got the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson is trending upwards. They said he's most likely to play. So it seems like he's coming back. Cleveland, they suck. I don't care. They beat the Steelers. DadBodSportsCards: Ha ha ha. Aaron: They suck. Deshaun Watson sucks. They have an over run game, like he just said. They're going to be down one of their good wide receivers. And FlintTown: Okay. Aaron: I think Baltimore is just a better team. Like I said, Lamar Jackson is most likely going to play. So that's my player they're going to watch. It relies on him. Because with these AFC North matchups, Lamar Jackson can struggle in these games. Like he struggled against the Browns before. He obviously struggles a lot against the Steelers. And he usually plays well against the Bengals. But this, I mean, it could be an upset because again, AFC North, you never know who's going to win that game. But I think Baltimore, they're the better team, and they're not as injured. So I think I'm going to go out there and DadBodSportsCards: Is Juggins hurt? he is? Okay. Okay. All right. Aaron: I think it was something like that, yeah. Dom: Yeah, I don't remember what the injury is, but it's a lower body. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. All right, Flint, who you got? FlintTown: Yeah, it's easy one for me. I have Baltimore and like these guys said, you know, their top wide receivers injured. They don't have a run game. They're signing people off practice squads. Like it's a good story for Cleveland, but I knew there's, they're going up. They still have a lot of pieces to get to go over that hump. So. I feel for Cleveland fans, because I know the herd. As a lion's den. DadBodSportsCards: Who's your who's your player to watch? Yeah. FlintTown: Really? Lamar if he comes back maybe. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. Yep. All right. So Lamar Jackson does have a ten I just looked it up, ten ten and five career record against the Browns. So he doesn't he doesn't necessarily struggle against them. I mean there are five losses against the Browns, but you know, he's Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: still got ten wins. he has a left ankle sprain, so maybe that might you know, he might have a mobility issue if he does play. so he's gonna have to play within the pocket, which he which he should be fine to do. I'm like Aaron, I don't I wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland wins this game, because one, I think they have one of the top ten defenses in the league. they still they're still gonna have their best wide receiver, Denzel Boston. Like Conception's Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: hurt, but Denzel Boston is their top wide receiver. And if they can keep this game low scoring, make it a defensive struggle, you know, for both teams, Cleveland I can see coming on ahead. Like Deshaun Watson, I think, can just do enough. To get them over the hump. But I'm still picking Baltimore. I I'll pick Baltimore. My player to watch is going to be Derrick Henry. If Lamar's not playing, it's going to be all Derrick Henry again, just like it kind of was last week. Aaron: Mm-hmm. DadBodSportsCards: Derrick Henry, FlintTown: you DadBodSportsCards: I think, I mean, he's just a monster. Like they couldn't Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: stop him last week. I think he only scored two touchdowns last week, but he was there for key plays, especially on two point conversions and everything when he just runs over people for the two points to get that game to go to overtime last week. But yeah, Baltimore and Derrick Henry to watch. All right, next game we got the Tennessee Titans with Cam Ward being the bust at Indianapolis Colts. Who do you got, Dom? FlintTown: That's it. Dom: All right. I really want to take the Titans here. I really want to see Cam get one, but I'm taking the Colts, but I'm not gonna be surprised if if the Titans take this one. They're due for a win and these are two pretty terrible teams, both of them. but the Colts have Jonathan Taylor and the Titans don't have anybody even close to that. So that's why I'm taking the Colts and I'm I Cam Ward's my player to watch. One of these days it's gonna happen. I have faith. I have faith. DadBodSportsCards: All right, Aaron, who you got? Aaron: Got Andy. They put up not a good performance against the Steelers, but it was okay enough where I can say, okay, they're a better team than the Titans. Jonathan Taylor, only forty five rushing yards last week. But also the same thing last year against the Steelers. Steelers, they know how keep top tier running backs like him down. Sometimes. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Aaron: Cause there was that James Cook game last year. But I think Jonathan he's gonna come back and he's gonna explode against the Titans. I don't think the Titans stand any chance, you know, maybe of a running back duel this week. You know, last year was J sorry, last week it was JT Warren. Now this year it or this week is Pollard and Jonathan Taylor who's the better running back. I mean we'll we'll find out. DadBodSportsCards: Aaron loves his pollard. Aaron: I I love Tony Pollard. Even though I benched Dobbins for him and I lost by point zero five points. DadBodSportsCards: You did. You did. Aaron: And a meas my kicker. Now it comes out he's a pedophile, so DadBodSportsCards: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I mean he's got a lot of Instagram models on his page. I Aaron: One of and one of them was a high school girl. DadBodSportsCards: He yeah. FlintTown: What? Aaron: Nah. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, they went through his Instagram follow list and Aaron: And they they found they found like Snapchat sc screenshots, like s he was he DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Aaron: was doing the stuff like Carson Beck. If you guys remember all that stuff. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Yeah. Aaron: Not a good look. DadBodSportsCards: And Josh Giddy, like, you know. Aaron: He we none of that stuff yet. None of that stuff yet. But FlintTown: That's wild. Aaron: anyways, I got indie. I think JT will win the running back battle, but yeah, so that's my player gonna watch. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. All right, Flint, who you FlintTown: Easy one, Andy. Still what Cam Ward to do good. So Cam Ward is my player to watch. DadBodSportsCards: All right. So I'm gonna write there with you guys the Colts. I think this is gonna be an easy win for the Colts. Player to watch Jonathan Taylor. Cam Ward's a bust. He's not gonna be able to they might be lucky to score ten points. He is a bust. He is a bust. Yeah. FlintTown: No he's not. Aaron: Ha ha ha. DadBodSportsCards: I mean, right now his record's showing that he's a his NFL record, he's a bust. I think Jamarcus FlintTown: I know. DadBodSportsCards: Russell has more wins than Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Cam Ward. And we all we all will agree that Russell is a bust. And FlintTown: John Marcus Russell, he probably does. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: I think he has more wins than Cam Ward does. All right. FlintTown: But he was on the lean. He was drinking the lean. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. All right. Next game, we got the New York Jets at New England Patriots. Who you got, Dom? Dom: I know it's a division game, but this to me seems like an easy one. I'm I'm taking the Patriots. the Jets defense is solid. I think they could give Drake May some issues, but I just I don't know, I have a tough time believing that they have the offense to keep up. So I'm taking the Patriots and my player to watch is is gonna be Ramondre. I know he's gonna have the backfield to himself, it sounds like so FlintTown: Thank Dom: it'll be interesting to see what he can do against that defense. DadBodSportsCards: Yep. Aaron, who you got? Aaron: Got Patriots. They look a lot better than previous weeks and Jets. They look like the Jets. So gonna pick the Patriots. My player to watch is gonna be May. Back to back great weeks. I wonder if this is gonna stay as a trend, or if it was just maybe a couple of fluke games. DadBodSportsCards: All Flint, who you FlintTown: I also have the Patriots, Bob. I think Drake May is my player to watch. or Breeze Hall still is her and he's weak to weak. So I just DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. FlintTown: don't see the Jets. You know, if you can't get your run game going, it's hard to. Gino Smith isn't like the guy to get you over. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, I'm I'm right there with you guys. The Patriots. who did the Jets play last week? That was they played the Browns. Aaron: Seventeen twelve. DadBodSportsCards: and they and they actually won. That's right. Aaron: Yeah. Minko Fitzpatrick knocked out Casey Concepcion. DadBodSportsCards: And then Allen, Bra Braylon Allen, I think. He had he had Aaron: Had a great game. DadBodSportsCards: over a hundred yards. yeah, but I think New England's on fire right now. Drake May is after crying on the sideline. I think he FlintTown: you DadBodSportsCards: has like eight or nine touchdowns since that game. because he had five last game. I think four passing Aaron: Mm. I think it th DadBodSportsCards: or three, maybe it's four. I don't know. He's got eight or nine touchdowns since then. Aaron: You say. DadBodSportsCards: it's not to the ten touchdowns that the Lions have had and haven't given any to Monra. But it's it's close. And Drake May is the reason why they've been winning their past two games is because he's been playing lights out and everything. I think it continues. They're playing in New England. So my player to watch is gonna be let's go somebody different. I don't know. Ramondre was a good one because he's gonna have the backfield all to himself. We'll we'll we'll we'll we'll we'll tap on with with Dom on Ramondre Stevenson of the player to watch. All right, next game. New Orleans Saints with the twenty seven year old Tyler Shuck at New York Giants and Jameis Winston. Who you got, Dom? FlintTown: Thanks. Dom: Okay, so this one I went back and forth on. I had a bit of a tough time with it. I'm gonna take the Saints here. and the only reason being is the Giants had to play overtime on the road. and that was a pretty tough, tough game for them. so I I'm not real confident on it, but overtime teams coming off in overtime, I usually tend to fade. FlintTown: you Dom: Kinda depending on the circumstances. So I'm taking the Saints here and obviously I I wanna see if Shuck can kinda get back on track. DadBodSportsCards: All Aaron, who you got? Aaron: This is the hardest game of the week for me. I'm gonna pick the Giants. I just don't have enough faith in the Saints defense overall. I think obviously with Jameis they're gonna probably get an interception, but Jameis might just go off and go for like three hundred yards and three touchdowns. Especially with neighbors how he's playing. And likely two, likely's been amazing. Saints have no run game at all. Kamara's not good, their backup running back, Conja Miller, however you say his name, he's not good at all. So Saints are gonna rely on their passing game and if it's a miss like like it was last week, you know, they played the Vikings, but it was a miss. So I'm gonna pick the Giants. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. Flint, who do you FlintTown: I'm picking the Saints Like I said Tyler Shuck man, he's the real deal so I gotta go with them DadBodSportsCards: All right. So I am picking the Giants. Minnesota tore up New Orleans offense FlintTown: you DadBodSportsCards: last week. Tyler Shuck, I think, had under a hundred yards passing last week, which is ridiculous considering like what he started off the season with, FlintTown: Thanks. DadBodSportsCards: like over 300 yards. I think he even had a 400 yard game. And that Minnesota defense was able to keep him under a hundred. but he's had back to back bad games against Atlanta. Well, he played okay at Atlanta, but he was running for his life. But he still Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: threw for like two sixty that game. He didn't have that that bad of a game against Atlanta. But then Minnesota's defense kind of kind of showed him like, hey, you're you're still this young 27-year-old, even though 27's old for a second year player. Aaron: Yes. DadBodSportsCards: but I'm right there with Aaron. Like there's no run game in New Orleans. And I think the Giants offense can do enough against this defense where like they win this game 27. Sh let's say they are able to get a field goal off within five seconds left, and they win this game twenty seven, twenty-four. my player to watch is gonna be neighbors. Neighbors have been lighting it up. I mean, the Giants coach coaching matters. And that that's a big thing that we learned in Chicago with with Ben Johnson is coaching does matter. It actually makes a difference. And I think what Harbaugh's doing with this Giants team, he's bringing a winning culture here, even though they tied last week and they probably should have lost. But they had opportunities in that over time to win the game as well. so I think the Giants keep rolling, their defense is playing well enough. Their offense, I mean, they got playmakers on that offensive side, and Jameis is a gunslinger. FlintTown: Thank you. DadBodSportsCards: Yes, he'll throw a pick. I think the Saints might try to distract Jameis Winston with bringing some Krabs from Louisiana. But the problem is, FlintTown: Hehehehehe DadBodSportsCards: the problems isn't kryptonite for Jameis Winston. It's it's like his spinach for fucking Popeye. So they're gonna try to distract him with Aaron: Hmm. DadBodSportsCards: Krabs, but he's gonna eat it up and he's gonna be FlintTown: Okay. DadBodSportsCards: eating that W. Gonna be eating that W this week. Yeah. All right. So next game. Next game, I thought like I had to think about it for a second, but then I'll I'll stick to how I feel about a certain team. But we got the Carolina Panthers at the Philadelphia Eagles. Who you got, Dom? Dom: this one I thought this was an easy one, honestly. I'm taking Carolina. coming off the bye. The Eagles are in disarray. everyone's hurt. I don't know if Saquon's gonna play. He might, he might not. They're coming back from London. you know, that catastrophe for them at the end of that game. That's a heartbreaker. Like I this the Eagles thing, it just feels like it's fallen apart completely. I don't see Siriani making it to the end of the season. I don't know how good of a quarterback Jalen Hurts is. I think he's okay. I but I don't know if he's good enough to carry a team. so I'm gonna take I'm gonna take the Panthers and let's you know, let's see if the Tet can do what he did against Detroit again. Cause that was incredible. DadBodSportsCards: Yep. Yep. Yep, and Detroit's I mean not Detroit. Carolina's coming off a bye week. So they had last week off and then you're right, Philadelphia's coming back from London and everything. All right, Aaron, who you Aaron: Got Carolina, this to me was an easy game as well. Like you said, Eagles coming off a loss and they're going on No, they're at home, sorry. But it's still it's coming off a loss from London. I don't think they'll be able to bounce back from that immediately. Panthers, like you said, Tet is an amazing player. Jalen Coker might be back, and we all know how he can flip a game. FlintTown: Yes. Aaron: So Guess what player they're gonna be watch in case he is playing is gonna be Jalen Coker. yeah, but yeah, I have the Panthers. That offense is too much DadBodSportsCards: Alright Flint. Aaron: for the Eagles offense. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. All right, Flint, who you got? FlintTown: I thought this was a hard game kind of to pick DadBodSportsCards: I'm I'm right there with you. Yep. FlintTown: because Philly is a disaster right now, right? We all know Sarayani. I think like Dom said, I think he's going to be gone at the end of the year. don't, either him or someone in that coaching staff is going to be the fall guy, but something's going to happen. I think they're kind of. Trying to do a rebuild on the fly if you kind of watch what's going on But I'm going with Carolina Just cuz they're younger. They have some playmakers Tet is a great wide receiver. I like Bryce Young and I just don't see enough with Philly to get over You know, like they haven't been playing good at all. So let me go with Carolina. Bryce Young is my player to watch. DadBodSportsCards: All right. I 100% agree with you guys. I do think the reason why I thought it was a harder game, like it wasn't just a for me, like, hey, obviously it's Carolina. I'm gonna pick Carolina because I like Bryce Young. I like that offense. I think their defense can do enough. But Philly Philly was toe to toe with Jacksonville last week in London. And if it wasn't for that long kickoff return, I mean, who knows what could have happened in in overtime. I mean, Philly was in that game, and we all feel like Jacksonville's a really good team. And I get it. It's every g any given Sunday. I I disagree. I think Jalen Hurts is a good quarterback, but they're just a fucking mess with this coaching staff. Like there's no direction, there's no rhythm. Dom will know this, like as being a Bears fan, especially when we had Iberflus and then and Shane Waldron as our offensive coordinator. There just wasn't a flow in the offense, right? Like there wasn't it wasn't making sense. And then I learned more about like wide receivers and like the depth that they run their routes and everything and how important that is for the Bears and like, you know, in a Ben Johnson system. I think Jalen Hurts could be a great quarterback and he's shown that he's can win a Super Bowl. He's a Super Bowl winning quarterback. And it wasn't because like, I mean, yeah, their defense was good, but he showed up in the Super Bowl twice in both Aaron: In both of them. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: of them. And they lost one and then they won one. So I think there's something that I've always I've always been a Hertz fan. Like I've always been a Hertz fan ever since college and everything. How he took that benching in Alabama says a lot about his character. And maybe he's like Russell Wilson two point and everybody hates that. Like, you know, being that just a good guy and saying the right things. And I know that gets annoying. but you know, I love Russell Wilson, even though when he was Mr. Unlimited or all this other stuff that he had. Like I still I still like Russell Wilson. When the Bears were rumored to tr possibly trade for him, I was all for it because I was a believer in Russell Wilson. And I think Jalen Hurts is kind of in the same, the same mold. I will still go with Carolina because I think they're an overall better team. They got better coaching as of right now because I know their coach was on the hot seat coming into this season. but yeah, Philadelphia's a mess. I think next year Jalen Hurts will be able to prove himself once they have a new coaching staff. And who who knows? Who knows? Maybe it might be. Jim Harbaugh there next year because Harbaugh's having an awful time in the charges and they might need to move on from him. but give s give Jalen Hurts a coach like Jim Harbaugh who made Kaepernick look awesome. So, you know, Jalen Hurts isn't as fast and he doesn't run as much, but maybe he's got to get back to that to be that threat to leave something open for those wide receivers. Like when you have when you don't have to count for the quarterback scrambling, That gives you an extra defender back there to go against. And I think he needs to go back to scrambling to tie a linebacker or tie a safety to him. That way it opens up for something because Mikhail Lemon's not doing shit either. Dontavian Wicks is their well, no, that Cooper guy, the one that they signed off some pract the practice squad or whatever. That Cooper guy who's had two s pretty good games ever since Devontae Smith's been out. But yeah, that's I mean, I spent a lot of time in Philly, but it I don't know. I think there's something there with Hertz. It's just it's just bad coaching. All right, next game we'll have Aaron go last. And we'll start Dom and then Flint and then myself and then we'll have Aaron go last. And I know I'm gonna hear it for this one. We got the Pittsburgh Steelers at Tampa Bay Bucks. Who you got, Dom? Dom: I'm taking the Steelers. they're playing significantly better than I thought they would. I I'm like you, I I kinda like Mike McCarthy. I think he's a solid coach. I mean he's I don't think he's a great coach, but he's a right the ship kind of guy. And just like you, I I was fine if he was the announced as the Bears coach if Ben Johnson didn't want the job. So I think he's doing a great job. other than their Awful, awful quarterback that I hate forever and ever. I won't Aaron: Yeah. Dom: even say his name. yeah, I mean their defense has been great. They're looking good on offense. Jalen Warren, RB1. DadBodSportsCards: Ha ha. Aaron: Yeah. Dom: so anyways, I'm taking the Steelers, the Bucks with their backup quarterback. I just I know they had the big win against Dallas and they're coming off extra rest, but I just don't see it. DadBodSportsCards: Yep. All right, Aaron, who you got? no, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Flint. Yeah, we're going with Flint. I'm sorry. Flint, who do you got? FlintTown: Me yeah Aaron I'm sorry I didn't take your Pittsburgh Steelers last week you showed me I was warm I was wrong and You do have a running back one I'm gonna take Pittsburgh Tampa Bay. think it's a mess And I think that coach will be on the hot seat, which I don't think should be, but I think there's a lot of injuries with Tampa Bay and that. Aaron Rodgers is my player to watch. DadBodSportsCards: All right. So I did pick I did pick Pittsburgh last week because I knew that they could beat Indianapolis. I just wasn't a believer in Jalen Warren. And this week, my pick, this week my pick is Pittsburgh. And I'm still not a believer in Jalen Warren. I think Jalen Warren will get less than a hundred total yards this week. Aaron: Mm. DadBodSportsCards: I th I think the Bucks defense will be able to control him. So I mean, Jalen Warren's not even my player to watch. And My player to watch is going to be Aaron Rodgers. Dom won't say his name, but Aaron Rodgers is playing lights out the past two games. I didn't see him having a huge game last week or any like like I don't think he can consistently play to this level, FlintTown: you DadBodSportsCards: but he's got something clicking right now with Mike McCarthy, and that offense is playing pretty well. Maybe it's because of Jalen Warren, but you take Jalen Warren's stats last week. He had an 80 yard receiving yard yard touchdown, 80 yards receiving, right? On that one play, and he scored on it. Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: And then he had a fifty yard rushing touchdown. I Aaron: Mm-hmm. DadBodSportsCards: think he only had sixteen, seventeen carries last week. And that's what I said. He needs to fifteen. So Aaron: Fifteen, yeah. Mm-hmm. DadBodSportsCards: that's where he needs to be because he's not gonna be your true running back that can carry the load right that. He's gotta be like a one two punch. he didn't have to carry a lot last week because I mean, I mean, well, Indy did start coming back a little bit, right, towards the end of that game. Aaron: Mm, not really. No. DadBodSportsCards: No, it was okay. The point is, I will double down and say Jalen Warren is not a top fifteen running back. He'll get less than a hundred yards. If he gets over a hundred total yards this game, I will sing the praises of Jalen Warren next week. I think the Bucks defense will be able to keep him at bay, and this is gonna have to be an Aaron Rodgers game. I don't think Tampa Bay will be able to keep up, but I also didn't think they be able to keep up with Dallas and they they played what pretty well against Dallas, but Dallas is a fucking mess. But Pittsburgh, it's my team to win this week and then player to watch could be Aaron Rodgers and Jalen Warren under a hundred twenty yards. So floor is all yours, Aaron. Aaron: Aaron Rodgers, last three games, three touchdowns, each one of those games. Last time he did that was in 2021, which I believe he won MVP that year. So maybe he won't MVP this year. Anyways. So we got some stats for you, right? So DadBodSportsCards: That would be crazy. That would be fucking crazy. Okay. Aaron: with and this is I'll put it in context with the missing of Kenneth Walker, you know, because he only played four games. So some of these stats are a little bit skewed. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, by weeks, by yeah. Aaron: Jalen Warren is top three in scrimmage yards, only behind Bajan and Gibbs. DadBodSportsCards: You're talking about for running backs or total? Like even with wide receivers? Aaron: Total. Yes. DadBodSportsCards: Okay, okay. Aaron: Cause I mean I just they're not carrying a lot. So maybe JSN, yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Well I know, but JSM is had has expl explosive games. Aaron: Or it it should be 'cause I looked it up, it should be just running backs. Or sorry, it should be total, but it could have been it could've DadBodSportsCards: Okay. Aaron: just given me. Anyways. He leads the Steelers in rushing yards and receiving yards. So he's probably our best receiving threat. DadBodSportsCards: I mean what I to back you on that, because Kenneth Gainwell last year was a top we was a but yeah, he had seventy something to catches last year. Yeah. Aaron: Was our best receiving threat. Yeah. Yes. Yes. And Jer Jeremy Bernard looks great. Like he had a couple drops, but he's a rookie. Rum Wilson's out for a couple weeks. Michael Pittman's on the IR. So we had to bring up I can't even remember his name. Someone. But we mean McMuth and Darno Washington, they're both good tight ends, so they'll be more involved this week. and it was more stats. Top two in yards per carry. Pretty sure Kenneth Walker's the only one ahead of him for running backs. He's top two risk running back receiving yards. Number one is Gibbs. Gibbs averages like nine yards of catch. Jalen Warren averages 12 yards of catch. Jalen Warren has had 20 touches in the last four games. And he's had over 125 total yards in each of those games. So I don't want to hear it anymore that he's not a running back one or that he can't take he can't be the Bell Cal. Because he can. And I don't know what it is, maybe because of his size, maybe because Najee was there and then he split last year. I don't know what it is. But he can be the running back that gets 20 carries a game. And like he can do this consistently, and he is a running back one. I know last week I said maybe in fantasy he's not a running back one. DadBodSportsCards: Right. Aaron: But he's running back seven right now in fantasy. So DadBodSportsCards: Do you know where he's listed at for touchdowns for running backs? Aaron: Probably low. He only has two on the year. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. How many receiving Aaron: Two DadBodSportsCards: touchdowns? Aaron: just one. His two touchdowns last year was only touchdowns of the year. Last week, yeah. Sorry. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: You mean last week? so it's the first time he scored all season. okay. So he's got two total, one rushing and one receiving. Okay. Okay. Aaron: Yep, one rushing one receiving. He's better than Jonathan Taylor. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. Well stats stats wise, yeah, sure. Aaron: Anyways Anyways, enough about Jalen Warren. Steelers offense has been looking amazing last three weeks. Maybe not so much against the Browns, but it has been looking a lot better. And there's rumors that they might trade for a wide receiver. Who knows who we could trade for? A lot of people I can't remember his name. A lot of people want us to trade for BTJ, which that would be nice. But our defense. I would say it's iffy. Our pass rush the last couple weeks have been not the greatest. Our run defense has been amazing. has played better. But yeah, I just want to go over the Steelers. Say that Jalen Warren is a top running back in the league. I'll say top five. This year, I'll say top five this year. Still early. I'll say top five this year. DadBodSportsCards: Oop Okay, still early. He's got two touchdowns on the season. Aaron: Yeah. That's just. how the Steelers are. It's 'cause it's cause Mouth gets all those red zone touchdowns. DadBodSportsCards: That's what I'm saying. He's that true definition of varsity blues. He had to get an eighty yard touchdown pass and then a fifty yard touchdown run. They're not giving him the ball in the red zone. Yeah. Aaron: Yeah, he's not yeah, he's not like the greatest red zone back. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Aaron: That's where Gainwell was good last year too. DadBodSportsCards: Mm-hmm. Aaron: but yeah, I got Steelers, Bucks, I don't like that team. They're they're not a good team on around. I wanted to go with this game. My player watch is gonna be Jalen Warren. DadBodSportsCards: Who's your player to watch? Aaron: He's gonna go over two hundred yards this game. DadBodSportsCards: He he could. He could. So Aaron: And he will. DadBodSportsCards: yeah, I mean, you'll double down on Jalen Warren. You'll put him over two hundred yards. I'll double down saying he's not an RB one in fantasy. And then he'll get less than a hundred yards. So what of us is gonna come out ahead this week? Is it is it is it Aaron or is it gonna be myself? We'll s we'll we'll see. Everything's trending towards Aaron being right on this one. And anything that has been trending this year a certain way has not happened. Because that's just how this fucking football season has been crazy in it. All right, you got anything else about your Steelers? Okay. I do want to say, so with the Steelers, Bernard is a good pickup if he's available in your fantasy leagues. Aaron: Yes. DadBodSportsCards: I know in some of my leagues, some people put in waivers for him. But because Pittman's out, Bernard got like I think he got 10 targets. He has six Aaron: Yeah, he has six catches. I know he dropped a DadBodSportsCards: catches. I think he had like nine or ten targets. So Aaron Rodgers, keep an eye out on him. And then previous game, Philadelphia, keep an eye on Damian Pierce. So because Shipley's out. If Saquon's out, like and now we're going to Damian Pierce, who used to be what? He used to be a Texans running back back in the day. So he got eleven carries in that in that game against Jacksonville. He did okay, but he's gonna be like your front runner for especially on waiver. So if he's still available, pick him up because if Saquon's not playing, that's your starter right there. All right. Next game up, we got the Arizona Cardinals at LA Rams. Who do you got, Dom? Dom: Right, so I know I said earlier I typically try to fade a team coming off of an overtime game, but the Cardinals are so bad. Arizona just absolutely DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Aaron: Yeah. Dom: stinks out loud. FlintTown: You Dom: the Rams have pretty good cornerbacks, so I don't expect much from you know Michael Wilson. I think Trey McBride could have a nice game, just 'cause he's you know, he's a top one or two tight end in in all of football. and Jacoby Brissett's not afraid to throw him the ball. So I do like that matchup, but Jeremiah Love's still banged up. He's still not recovered from his ankle injury. and that's unfortunate because I think the Rams can be run on. but you know, Arizona just doesn't have it. They I mean they they're terri they're so bad. so I'm taking the Rams, even though I don't like them coming off overtime. I think the point spread was twelve and a half. I don't I don't DadBodSportsCards: Jesus. Dom: think it's gonna be that. I I think this is gonna be under seven point difference, but I still like the Rams. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Divisional game. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Aaron. Aaron: I got the Rams. Arizona, they can't push the ball down the field. And I see a lot of people saying with the absence of Marvin Harrison, yeah, he wasn't good, but he was a distraction. And Michael Wilson and Trey McBride, they both, you know, benefited from that. And then last week they were getting doubled. And Trey McBride didn't have a good game until like the fourth quarter is when, you know, when a team starts playing like prevent defense. So I got I got the Rams. Like I said, I'm iffy on them. I don't know if it's a coaching thing. I don't know if it's just like you remember how like other the Nets were a few years ago. They had KD, Harden, Kyrie. They didn't win anything. Maybe it's just a team. They can have all these stars, but they don't click with one another. I don't know what it is. But I mean they're they're gonna beat the Cardinals. So I have the Rams. My player to watch. It's gonna be Michael Wilson. Like I said, he was using, you know, his abil you know, his status as a wide receiver two to produce more, but can he produce as a wide receiver one? Yeah, he did. I DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, he disappointed against Detroit last week. Yeah. Yep. Aaron: know. DadBodSportsCards: All right. yeah, because you have him fantasy. Yeah. All right, Flint, who do you got? FlintTown: Kind of piggyback off of Aaron, LA Rams have been defensively a disappointment to the beginning of this season. Like, I know everybody was like, they're going to be the best defense. We're going to, you know, we've even said it. Like they might not lose a game. They've looked horrible. You know, Aaron: Especially that run defense. Yeah. FlintTown: yeah, like. You have two of the best to ever play the game. And I know they're hurt now. So Donald's back, right? DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, he played last game. Aaron: Yeah, he he did. FlintTown: Yeah, he played, but he doesn't look like Donald of, you know, a couple of years ago. But even with that being said, Arizona's ass. I think LA Rams will beat them, you know. I don't know if it's going to be a blowout, but just keep your eye out on LA. I don't think they're going to make as big as a splash that we all thought. DadBodSportsCards: All right. I I will pick the Rams. I'm right there with you guys. there are a couple things that I do disagree about. I think the Rams are good. I think they're really good. They might be a top three NFC team. I mean they've had they've had a rough schedule there. They played Aaron: They have. DadBodSportsCards: they played the forty niners a week one all the way in Australia and they fucked that up. and then they just played against Josh Allen and the Bills. And they were right there in that game until Aaron: I it's special teams. It's always been the problem. DadBodSportsCards: I mean, yeah, they're they're they're thicker kicker. Like, I mean, he just got cut, but he missed the game winning field goal. I mean, if if Aaron: They got blocked. DadBodSportsCards: if yeah, it got blocked, but like it still missed. If the Rams would have won that game and beat Buffalo, we might be singing a different tune because they Aaron: Mm-hmm. DadBodSportsCards: beat one of the best teams in the NFL, right? So I think the Rams are okay. The reason why I think the Rams will be okay is because Miles Garrett will come back. That defense will be better. Like no, but I mean I'm talking about in the season he'll be bad. Aaron: Is he back this week? okay. Okay. DadBodSportsCards: Like in the season he'll be back. Aaron Donald just got fucking pancaked against the Buffalo Bills by the guy by that lineman that I believe who got who what what lineman punched the player? Okay, Aaron: There was Lion Ben that punched someone, I can't remember his name. DadBodSportsCards: on the Rams, right? but Aaron Donald got pancaked that last game. I don't think I've ever seen Aaron Donald ever get pancaked in his career. So he's obviously not. Aaron Donald than what we're used to seeing. But it's also his third game back since being retired for three years. It's a long season. Like we've been always saying, I think by the end of the season, that team's gonna be clicking as long as as long as any team goes, as long as they can stay healthy. but they're still in it, they're still gonna be in playoff contention. They have one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Stafford is, I mean, he's it. Like he's he's gonna keep you in games. 'Cause you got Devontae Adams who can have a huge game. You got Puka that could have a huge game. And you have a Notre Dame running back, Kyron Williams, who is probably the best Notre Dame player in the NFL since Tim Brown. So it's been a very long time. Maybe even he maybe he might be as good Aaron: Mm. DadBodSportsCards: as Man Taiteo. I don't know. Aaron: Kyle Hamilton went to Notre Dame. DadBodSportsCards: Okay, Kyle Hamilton will give it because that dude's a stud safety. Aaron: That yeah. DadBodSportsCards: But it he's just not like I mean everybody don't they don't you don't think of Kyle Hamilton when you think Notre Dame. You think of all the FlintTown: Blake Corum's been looking good too. DadBodSportsCards: I I guess. I mean, he's a good backup. I mean cool. He might have twenty yards rushing. I mean, okay, cool. So now he's Jalen War in status. He's Jalen Warren status. Here we go. Aaron: okay. FlintTown: He's getting passes. He's getting passes. DadBodSportsCards: But but Kyron is is the number one in the running back on that backfield. I disagree with Dom. Yeah, Joe Jeremiah Love is hurt. I think what hurts him the most is that he came from Notre Dame because he's not a good NFL football player. I watched I watched that Detroit game because one, I was hoping Detroit would lose. But Detroit's defensive line showed up in that game, especially McNeil played really well against the against the Cardinals. But watching Jeremiah Love, and this is like probably one of the first games that I actually watched like him actually play, the dude is slow as shit. He I thought he was gonna be like, cause they say he could be also a wide receiver, cause like how good he can catch the ball and everything. And maybe it's because his ankle injury and he's not starting his NFL career the way he wants, because maybe he is hurt. But watching him, he's not fast. He's not fast. He reminds me, and he will never get to this level. He reminds me of Derrick Henry. His size is big, but he doesn't play like he's gonna run you over like Derrick Henry. And that could be because he's coming from the Midwest, and Midwest people are nice, and Notre Dame is in the Midwest, and they're just not gonna pummel you. Yes, I was born in Chicago, but I was pretty much grew up in Florida, so I'm an asshole. Dom is. Badom was born in the Illinois area in the Midwest. He's still there. He's like one of the nicest guys I know. Flint is just crazy because they go to party stores, which is a gas station. So, like, my point is: Jeremiah Love is not good. If if there's a here, I'm gonna I'm gonna, this is a hot take. Hot take. I think Jeremiah Love is more of a bust than Cam Ward. That's how I feel about Jeremiah Love. FlintTown: Ohhhh Aaron: Woof! DadBodSportsCards: Watching my eyes are telling me watching him play against the Detroit Lions defense, which is awful. But they they they stepped the FlintTown: No, that front, that front is good. DadBodSportsCards: front play the front played well, but your defense is still awful. I mean, it's fair to say FlintTown: Bad Cat. DadBodSportsCards: they're still awful. Yeah. What defense is defense is still awful. But Jeremiah Love couldn't do anything. And again, it could be injury, but he just looks slow. He doesn't have like the speed that I think of running back. Kyron Williams isn't the fastest. But he looks like a running back. Like you look like the way he runs, like it's fluid. He'll hit you and then he'll fall forward. Jeremiah Love looked like he didn't even want to be there. And I don't know, maybe it's the Cardinals culture because they got rid of Marvin Harrison. And maybe that's just not a good team to go to when you're a a young player like that. And maybe it's that's what's going on with him. But I don't know. He d he doesn't look like when I saw Tyler Algier run the ball, totally different. look like an NFL running back when Tyler Algier was in there. But Jeremiah Love, I don't know. It it did not look good. It did not look good. I'm hoping it's injury. but I don't yeah, I think it's just 'cause he went to Notre Dame and FlintTown: You were kinda right, like, he didn't look good. DadBodSportsCards: He didn't. FlintTown: He didn't. He did look slow. DadBodSportsCards: It it looked like when the f when somebody touched him, he was like, All right, plays over. Like go ahead and tackle me. Like that's that's what it felt like. And that's not what you're supposed to be, especially when you're a rookie running back like that. Because you have you have the youth, you have all that energy and everything. And maybe he just maybe just didn't have it because he's hurt and it could be the culture there, the coaching as well in Arizona. And he's just like, Fuck it. Rookie season's done. FlintTown: Like, remember last year with Gentie? Like, Gentie, you could tell, like, this dude's gonna be good. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, but that, yeah, but even but he struggled he struggled too. He just had a shitty offensive line. And then Aaron: Mm. DadBodSportsCards: he had a great game against the Bears. Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: But then even Genty, even though I think Genty finished like top eight or nine, or maybe top twelve in r fantasy running backs. But there was really not any game that you can remember Genty except for the Bears game that he blew up in. He was just solid over the year. But Oakland, I mean the Vegas Raiders, they fixed their offensive line. He's having a better year. Not a great year, but he's having a better year than he. And maybe that's what I don't know. I I like to get on Dom about Notre Dame and when I see players like Jeremiah Love play like that, it's like it's like Notre Dame Notre Dame's overrated. Dom: Well, th this is why this is why terrible teams should not draft running backs in the top ten. They they have no offensive line, just DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. Aaron: Yeah. FlintTown: Yeah, you're absolutely right. Dom: like Vegas didn't last year. Those picks should DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Dom: be spent on more premium positions. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, that that's true. One hundred percent true. Yeah, yeah. Or if there's like a FlintTown: Offensive and defensive line. If you're a bad team, offense and defensive lines. That's what you need to draft. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, or or like the premium positions, like what he's talking about. Like you got offensive defensive line, and then you got the you got cornerbacks, not safeties, but like the FlintTown: Mm-hmm. DadBodSportsCards: the cornerbacks and everything. I mean, and then obviously a quar a a quarterback. But they they but they did get their quarterback potentially with Carson Beck later in the rounds. But I don't know, man. It it it didn't look right on Jeremiah Love, and it could be because the injury. I didn't watch any Notre Dame football, so but college is totally different than the NFL because college players look so FlintTown: You're absolutely DadBodSportsCards: much faster than the other. The other people, because you're playing against people like Aaron's age that, you know, like Aaron Aaron's 19. You got 19 year olds out there that's getting blown away by Jeremiah Love, who could be a superior athlete, but everybody in the NFL is a superior athlete. Even like, even though, even though I say Cam Ward sucks, and we say all these other fucking players sucks, the only true player that really fucking sucks is Valis Jones and Sam Rausch. Fuck those guys. Fuck them. They will never be NFL players. But every other NFL player actually looks like you know, they they can they look like an NFL player compared to everybody else. All right. We spent way too much I spent Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: way too much time in Arizona. So let's go. Next game we got Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs. Who do you got, Dom? Dom: this is a no-brainer. I'm taking the Chiefs all day. I'll make this quick. the Chargers look absolutely lost. I don't know if Harbaugh makes it to the end of the year. Mike McDaniels' offense isn't clicking. my player to watch is gonna be Kenneth Walker. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. Aaron. Aaron: Same thing, Casey, Kenneth Walker, I heard there was rumors that Mike McDaniels is very much on the hot seat right now if he doesn't get anything together. DadBodSportsCards: You you really think they will fire him in six games? Aaron: I don't know if they'll fire him but I heard that he's on a really like hot seat right now. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. All right. Who you got, Flint? FlintTown: I got something to add with that Mike McDaniels thing because I heard on the radio, Mike McDaniels, when he was on Miami, Tua, he had Tua doing drop back, quick passes. Like Tua is a different quarterback than Herbie. Herbie's a long, sit in the pocket, take a few seconds, get the ball out. And that might be the problem with Mike McDaniel's offense and how the Chargers need to play. Because he's used to like, quick passes, get it out fast, you know. Because they had Tyreek Hill and stuff. Tyreek Hill was fast. Chargers don't have them kind of wide receivers. So, yeah. Aaron: Yeah. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, we talked about that last week. They don't have the personnel. Yeah. Yeah. FlintTown: So that might be the problem, the big problem. I think the major problem is their offensive line. I think they're starting four new offensive linemen, which is, if you think about that, that's crazy. Like DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. FlintTown: you have one guy that's the normal guy. So, right? Yeah. Yeah. One guy. DadBodSportsCards: Yes. FlintTown: Stop. But. But that's a thing to look out for. And I think Mike McDaniels is on the hot seat. Aaron: about McDaniels. I just read it. If he does get fired, you know who the interim offensive coordinator is gonna be? Adam Gase. DadBodSportsCards: Adam Gase? Yeah. Aaron: That's gonna be DadBodSportsCards: So, I mean, Gase gets a bad name, but he was a he was a good coordinator. He was Peyton Manning's coordinator. And then I believe he was a coordinator for the Bears. I don't can't remember what quarterback he had when he was. But what Adam Gase is known for is when he was the Jets head coach and his eyes were freaking the fuck out at the press FlintTown: What? DadBodSportsCards: at the press Aaron: Mm. DadBodSportsCards: conference. That is what he's known for. That the bright lights of New York City got to him. And if you ever see that video, his lights are I mean, his eyes are popping out of his eyes because there's way too much for him to handle with all the lights and all the reporters asking questions and all the lights on him. It you you gotta see it because it's a definition of it's a defin it's a definition of yeah. Aaron: I'm looking at it. There it is. Wow. He looks like Ben Johnson. FlintTown: I'm gonna have to watch it now. Dom: A little bit. Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: It's a definition, it's it's a definition of, fuck, I'm not ready to be a head coach, Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: especially in this city, right? Dom: Some of the greatest memes I've ever seen came from that press conference. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Yeah, from Adam Gase. but I I'm I'm gonna I'm obviously gonna pick the the Kansas City Chiefs. I think they're just a better team. And maybe we're all starting to realize because we were told that Justin Herbert was a generational talent. We were told that Justin Herbert could be like a top five quarterback in this league. Maybe he's just not good. I mean, maybe he's just middle of the pack, like what how I feel about the Chargers. And right now the Charters aren't even middle of the pack. They're just a dysfunction. I don't FlintTown: No, they're bottom. DadBodSportsCards: I I think it's a personnel issue. Like two is a total like what you said, Flint, two is a totally different quarterback. You got to play with timing with him because he's he's that's FlintTown: Yep. Yep. DadBodSportsCards: that's his that's his advantage. So when I when I when I think about that, it's like okay, if Mike McDaniel can make him look good, that means he can adjust to the what your quarterback's capabilities is. I don't know what you it we're not seeing it with Herbert. And it could be because they don't have good wide receivers They don't really have good rent they don't have good anything, right? And Aaron: Mm-hmm. FlintTown: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: that's and whatever is gonna be good, they're gonna be offloading to rebuild that team. And I think end of the season, they might re Harbaugh be gone, which means the coordinators will be gone. And maybe McDaniel will go to I don't know, like a I mean, I don't I don't know what what team he could go to to help their offense out. But I don't know. Let Kansas City Chiefs, my player to watch is always gonna be Taylor Swift. So Travis Kelsey. FlintTown: I didn't make my pick, Kansas City. Kansas City and K9. DadBodSportsCards: my bad. you got Kansas City. Okay. My bad. Yeah. But I mean, but you're a hundred percent right about no personnel with the Chargers. They they just don't look good. It's not clicking. I I I don't want to blame it on Mike McDaniel because I don't know. I I like him as a coach. I th FlintTown: Kinda. DadBodSportsCards: he's from the Shanahan tree, I believe, right? He's from the Shanahan tree, I'm pretty sure. So I believe in that system. Like all the other coaches, a lot of the coaches that came from that have and he had and He had success in Miami for a little bit when he had the players. and I don't know, maybe it's a hardball issue. Who who the fuck knows? I don't know. All right, next game. Yeah, yeah. Next FlintTown: Both weird. DadBodSportsCards: game next game, we got the Buffalo Bills at Las Vegas Raiders. Who you got, Dom? Dom: Alright. I have a feeling I'm probably on the opposite side of this one than you guys. Bills coming off of short rest. Monday night they played overtime. West Coast traveled twice. I'm taking the Raiders. I might look like a fool for that, but I just don't like the way things have lined up there for Buffalo. they might be riding a little too high. so yeah. DadBodSportsCards: Can I interrupt you real quick? So, because I I I don't know if this changes your pick. Buffalo is staying on the West Coast this week because of that. Because of that. Yeah, so Dom: okay. Well that's smart. DadBodSportsCards: like, so I don't know if that changes your pick because they don't have to go back to the East Coast and back to the West Coast. So they're staying out on the West Coast. So just I just want to give you that heads Dom: I appreciate it. I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with my pick though. Just I wanna be different anyways. Hopefully we can pick up a game here and not fall further behind. But yeah, I just I also like what the Raiders are doing in general. They obviously they got blown out last week, wasn't great, but since Bowers has been back, that offense has just you know kind of found a a new new level. so yeah, I'm gonna take the Raiders and my player to watch is gonna be Bowers. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. Aaron, who you got? Aaron: So remember in the early an hour and a half ago when I asked you guys about five different teams, we all agreed Rams pretty good defense. Texans not good defense. You know, last week was better. Lions not good defense. Patriots good defense and Chargers. You know, good defense, but the offense brings them down. Those are the teams the Bills played. Josh Allen has nine touchdowns against the Texans and the Lions defense. Since then Two passing touchdowns and five turnovers. Now, he does have more rushing touchdowns, but those are all tush pushes, so I don't care. People don't care about DadBodSportsCards: Ha ha. Aaron: Jalen Hurts Tush pushes. I don't care about Josh Allen's touch pushes. So, with that being said, earlier in the season, I was like, man, I can't hate on him. Nine touchdowns, zero turnovers. But now we're seeing what he's going back to. He's not this. Well, I'm not gonna say he's not elite. He's not playing that good. Didn't really play that good. I mean, he ran well last night, but unless we're gonna start calling him a running back like everyone did with Lamar DadBodSportsCards: Mm-hmm. Aaron: and everyone did with Jalen Hurts, even though he's not. He's better as a runner than he is a passer. So with that being said, now I'm still gonna pick Buffalo. I don't like Vegas. The whole turnaround the whole turnaround after all that. Josh Allen no, Josh Allen's DadBodSportsCards: After all after all after all that I really th you had me going. You had me going. Aaron: not gonna win in the game. James Cook is probably gonna win him that game because James Cook is amazing. He does have a pummeling problem, DadBodSportsCards: He has a fumbling problem right now. Yeah. Aaron: but he's still a good runner. He's still a really good runner. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, yeah. Aaron: but yeah. I want to say about Josh Allen wanna put it DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Aaron: I wanna put it out there. He is not this quarterback that even I even I was fooled in the beginning of the year. then I remember seeing again five turnovers in the last three games, three of them coming against the Chargers. It's not been playing good. I know last no, not last night, against the Rams, he had two hundred and ten passing yards on twelve completions. A hundred and ninety six of that was yards after catch. It's not a good look. So with that being said, still gonna pick Buffalo. I think they're the better team all around. And Vegas just got blown out by the Patriots. But Josh my player to watch is gonna be Josh Allen. He's not gonna have a good game. He's gonna struggle. And I don't think Vegas' defense is that good, but he's not Josh Allen's also not playing good. DadBodSportsCards: All Flint, who do you FlintTown: Unlike Aaron, I think Josh Anlin's probably the best QB in the league. All QBs have the sometimes rough spot. It's a long season, but the guy produces, he wins games. He's done it for years. Aaron: Yeah, he's produced two passing touchdowns the last three games. FlintTown: Hey, and then he's coming out and he goes unzips his pants and slaps it down on the table and throws five touchdowns this game. So. Give me the bills. And Josh Allen is my player. DadBodSportsCards: I so I I do like this I do like this debate. Aaron totally threw me off. I thought he was gonna go with the Raiders and then all this shit talking about Josh Allen and then he's like, Hey, Josh Allen's gonna win. So that that Aaron: Didn't Josh Allen was gonna that Bills are DadBodSportsCards: Yeah, the Bills are gonna win, but that's pretty much Josh Allen. So And the reason why I say that is because he could not have a good game and he could still be the best player on the field. So we saw that against the Rams. He didn't have a good game. You're right. He was he only had 12 completions, and Shakir had a lot of those yards on one of the receptions. He doesn't have playmakers except for James Cook, who has a fumbling problem right now, right? DJ Moore's out, which he's always DJ Moore's always banged up. We know that as a Bears fan. He's always banged up. And then he's, I mean, sure he gives a hundred percent on the field, which I don't think he does, even though they say that all the time. I mean, we saw that in last year's playoff when he didn't finish that route and Caleb threw an interception. So DJ Moore, I was happy that we moved on from him. And he's showing the season why we moved on from him because he's always banged up. And then in this case, it's taking him out of these games for the Bills. He has to be that number one wide receiver on that team because Keon Coleman ain't it as much as Flint wants him to be, and as much as Dom wants his card to sell. FlintTown: Come DadBodSportsCards: After that he bought for a dollar. That case hit. And well, I always bring that up. Anytime Keon FlintTown: on! DadBodSportsCards: Coma comes up, I always bring that up, right? But but Josh Allen is the reason why they win. Yes, James Cook. Last year you I remember Aaron brought up the Bills won every game that James Cook rushed over a hundred yards. And that was a stat. But also you have a great running back like that on top with Josh Allen. Like, Josh Allen is just gonna find a way to win. And they got lucky because the they blocked a field goal in overtime. But at any point in that game, I never thought that okay, the Bills are gonna lose this game. Like 'cause I still think Josh Allen will keep them in the game close enough. Cause what we can what we do see in those games against like the worst defenses, like D Detroit and what he did in in in week one and everything. So my Buffalo, I think, is gonna win. I like what the Raiders are doing. I think this will be a closer game because I I do like the Raiders defense. I think Max Crosby can't get to him. But the problem is Max Crosby probably won't get any sacks, but he'll get pressures on Josh Allen because it's hard to get a sack on Josh Allen because the way he is, how he's built and everything. but yeah, give me give me Buffalo. even without DJ Moore, I don't know if DJ Moore comes back. I think Buffalo has enough between Josh Allen and James Cook. to w to win this game. And side note, Mendoza played last week, but I think it's because it was a blowout. And Mendoza and he could be playing against more prevent defenses because it was a blowout. But he he played well. And I haven't heard any rum rumblings in the news like, hey, let's have Mendoza start it starting over Kirk Cousins right now. I don't think that's going to happen. I think Kirk Cousins is going to be the starter for the rest of the year because I think they're going to be in playoff contention for the majority of this year and everything. All right. Next game up it I mean I'm really curious who you guys are gonna pick in in this game, especially after last week. Because if you go by it based on last week, then I might know what you guys are picking, but we'll see. We got the Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers. Who do you got, Dom? Dom: Alright, so this one was another tough one. Cowboys with extra rest off of that egregious loss. Packers riding high after a blowout of a division rival. I'm taking the Packers just simply 'cause they're still home. I could see this going either way. I could see this being a blowout either way. so DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Dom: you know, maybe the maybe the Packers figure something out, or maybe they just took advantage of the absolutely awful secondary the Bears had on Sunday. who knows? I I hope I'm wrong. it's always FGB. player to watch is Christian Watson. DadBodSportsCards: Yep. All right. You got it? Yeah. Chris Watson, yeah. Aaron, who you got? Aaron: Dallas, I'm not moved by Green Bay's offense. I mean, what three straight drives for the Bears through an interception, you're gonna score more points off of that. Like, Bears' offense was bad. I think what we saw with the Bears is like, yes, we know their defense isn't good, but it was playing better, it was playing fine. But when your offense is so bad it brings your defense down, I think that's just what it partly was with the Bears. Obviously, yeah, they could just throw it deep and there's a fifty percent chance Christian Watkinson catches it. Like that that's a thing. But I don't think they're gonna be able to do that that well against Dallas. Dallas doesn't have a good secondary either, but I don't know. Like, last week it was just Jake Ferguson's show. Like, he was dropping as much passes as he possibly could. He looked like Deontay Johnson up there. Like, that DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. Aaron: man was garbage. He drops the last interception. I think the other interception he bounced off of receiver's hands. Not a good performance by the skill positions. I mean, and that can just happen. That can just be a bad week. You know, it was a short week. So I'm gonna go with Dallas. They have enough offensive firepower. And like I said, I don't trust Green Bay's offense even after last week. My player to watch is gonna be it's gonna be Pickens. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. All right. Aaron: Or any wide receiver. DadBodSportsCards: So since Flint isn't there FlintTown: Alright, no! DadBodSportsCards: he is. okay, okay, he's he's he's all shirtless. okay here we go. Here we go FlintTown: We have a special guest! DadBodSportsCards: here we go. FlintTown: Here's GNG for the pick! GNG for the fic! DadBodSportsCards: We got our we got our g and g look alike right now. Here we go. Where's where's where's the pepperoni? Where's the pepperoni? FlintTown: let's make some pepperonis. There we DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. FlintTown: go. DadBodSportsCards: For people that don't know, and if it's possibly your first time listening, we got a buddy who has pepperoni nipples that falls out of his tank top. Every time we Yep. FlintTown: Yep, pepperoni nipples. DadBodSportsCards: We we record a podcast with him, but his Green Bay dial up internet couldn't upload it. So nobody ever got to saw it. But Flint and I had the privilege of seeing those pepperoni nipples falling out of his tank top and everything. FlintTown: So with the pick today, GNG says, DadBodSportsCards: Ha ha. FlintTown: go Green Bay. DadBodSportsCards: Nice. FlintTown: Let's, love is my player to watch. So, DadBodSportsCards: Love is your player to watch. FlintTown: yeah. DadBodSportsCards: All right. Thank you for the pick, G and G. I I'm glad, I'm glad you took the time. I'm glad you took the time on not tucking your kids in tonight and actually doing what men do and and and FlintTown: You DadBodSportsCards: talk about football. but yeah, I'm picking the Dallas Cowboys. I I'm in the mindset that Dom could be right. Like it could go either way this game. did Green Bay's offense did the Bears play so bad that it helped Green Bay get their rhythm back and maybe Jordan Love is back on track and maybe their offense will start looking better than it has in the beginning of the season, the first four games of the season, and maybe the Bears are that doing. You got your you got your your rhythm back after after playing a game like that against the Bears and destroying the Bears 31 to seven. But I I I don't think so. I I think Green Bay's still going to struggle because they can't run the ball. They I mean they ran the ball on the Bears, but like they still had 100 yards of rushing for like from a a a primary running back. Marshawn Lloyd destroyed Jalen Johnson and then called him Little on that one. but I I think the problem is since Green Bay doesn't have a running game, they're not going to be able to keep up With Dallas's offense. We all and I'm gonna pick I'm just gonna pick the better quarterback in the NFL. I think Dak is a better quarterback than Jordan Love. The Dallas Cowboys offense has more weapons than Green Bay, and I and I think their weapons are a step up. Christian Watson's playing great, but he just looked great against the Bears off O defense, right? And then he did look good in week one against Minnesota's defense. But that was a division rivalry game, but he hadn't been able, he hasn't been looking that good since in between those division rival games. CeeDee Lamb is is is a guy, right? He's a number Aaron: Yeah. DadBodSportsCards: one wide receiver that we all know. Christian Watson could like right now, he's a number one on Green Bay, but could he be a number one on any other team? I don't I I don't know. Just depends on the team. Pickens, awesome game last week against the Bucs. They he blew up, had over 140 to 160 yards receiving that game. So he's a true number two. Matt Golden is on his way to being possibly a number one or number two. But they also have a better running back with Javante Williams. Like the Cowboys offense is on point. Their defenses, Green Bay and Dallas, is probably about the same. they both have some pass. I mean, they both have decent defensive line. I think Green Bay has a better defensive line because they do can get to the quarterback. and I think it's a push on the D Bs and the safeties, because the Cowboys have Caleb Downs, and then I think the Packers have, I think his name's Evan Williams, like who's who's actually pretty good. So I'm gonna give a pick a better quarterback. I think it could be a shootout. If Jordan Love is in his rhythm and Matt LaFleur isn't just calling screens and he's actually throwing the ball downfield, this game could be a shootout, and it could be actually a good game to watch, even though as much as we fucking hate Green Bay, like for us. but yeah, give me give me the Cowboys. My player to watch is gonna be CeeDee Lamb. CeeDee, I think, got hurt last game, but I don't I think he went back in. But he only had two catches last week after his monster 17 catch game. So I think CeeDee's gonna have a good game against this defense. I I'd say let's go, let's go 34 31 the Cowboys in this game. I I think the weather's gonna be nice. So it's yeah, I th I I just think it's gonna be shootout. let's see. And and like what Dom says, as always, fuck Green Bay. All right. Last game of the week as a Monday night football game, we got the Washington Commanders at San Francisco forty Niners. Dom, who do you got? Dom: N another easy one. This is Niners. Commanders again coming off of that stupid overtime game where they ran out of time. The Niners are just they're rolling, they look good. So this one's easy. player to watch is Purdy. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. Aaron. Aaron: Got Niners, just like Dom, player to watch his MV purity. DadBodSportsCards: All right. All right. We're we got Flint back here now. G and G's gone. So Flint. Flint, who do you got? FlintTown: Yeah, G &G ran away. I'm with you guys, the 49ers and Purdy. Like, that team's rolling. DadBodSportsCards: Okay. This is the first time that you haven't said anything about the commanders and Jane Daniels and how good they looked. So you must really like the 49ers in this game for you not even to mention that. But I'm I'm with you guys. I still think the 49ers a little overrated. that that game against Seattle, that was a really good game. It could that game, I mean, JSN missed the ball at the end. Like, and he never drops a pass, but But the 49ers won that game. They were able to keep up with Seattle's offense and defense and everything. Fort Niners are clicking right now. What they're five and right? So, I mean, they they should be six and after this game. I'm I'm I'm right there with you. CMC's not having a good season. Like he's he's like, I think fantasy wise, he's number 10, number nine, number nine to twelve for as far as fantasy running back. We're not used to seeing that. We're used to seeing him being the top five. But he's not even playing top five running back style. And this team is still winning like the way they are. so Purdy Purdy is hot right now. Mike Evans is a is a good pickup for them. He's been dominant at wide receiver FlintTown: huge. DadBodSportsCards: one for them. And then Kittle. Kittle didn't have a great game last game, but he's always he's always a threat. So that team, Shanahan, has done a great job. This is what this is what happens when you have the right personnel for the system. And like what the Chargers don't have. so yeah. All right, so that is week six picks. You guys got anything else for this week? Thank you, Dom, for coming on tonight. Dom is an hour behind us because he only lives by central time. So Dom: The best time zone. DadBodSportsCards: and yeah, the the the best time zone for Loter FlintTown: What about G &G? DadBodSportsCards: G and G, I think, is still I think he's on East Coast time still, 'cause Flint, you're East Coast, right? Yeah. FlintTown: No, he's eased, yeah, he's eased. DadBodSportsCards: Yeah. FlintTown: No, G &G for the special guest. yeah, yeah. DadBodSportsCards: yeah. it G and G thank you for showing up. You well, you didn't have the glasses on, so it threw me off. but yeah, but thanks again to Dom and the fill in for a couple picks. G and G filling in for Flint. yeah. I don't have anything else except for rest in peace to Mike Dicko. Hopefully the Bears come back again and honor Mike Dicko well this next game. but we'll we'll we'll see if Caleb's back. Aaron. We'll we'll see if Aaron's right about Jalen Warren over 200 yards. We'll see if I'm right under a hundred yards. the bye week teams this week is Cincinnati, Detroit, Miami, Minnesota. So it's a good week for Detroit's defense. They don't have to play against anybody this week. So who do you guys FlintTown: Yeah, not give up 400 yards. DadBodSportsCards: have next week? Are you guys playing Green Bay next week? FlintTown: Yes. DadBodSportsCards: okay. Okay. So that's gonna be a big game. So I w so we'll find out we'll find out what time that game is. I don't know if if it's a primetime game, we'll live stream that. Detroit and Green Bay if we can get enough people. I'm down to live stream if you guys are. So we'll figure well except for Aaron. He's not NFC North. So Aaron will probably be yelling all day this Sunday. So like I heard him last week. Aaron: I don't forgot this now. DadBodSportsCards: That's how I know to look at my phone or to change it to the Pittsburgh game is when he's screaming upstairs. And then it was an extra loud because it was Jalen Warren this week. So all right. Well thank you to all three of you that listen. And hopefully, well, one of them's here. So all two of you that listen Aaron: Mm-hmm. DadBodSportsCards: and everything. But thank you for tuning in. please like and subscribe and everything. That helps. And you know, we're 48 away from 100. So that's the countdown now to try to get to 100. But thanks again, everybody. Peace out. Aaron: Yes.
