- 3:54let's see me and. Not to join.
- 3:57In Joel have our picks and I saw you got on there.
- 4:00Each Yeah. And you know one thing that I
- 4:02want to bring up because I'm still doing this thing for Katie
- 4:05man real quick, but check this out.
- 4:07So the the the Super Bowl conspiracy is in the Super Bowl
- 4:15logo for the next Super. Bowl.
- 4:17Oh, I saw it. Came out.
- 4:20I saw it. And I I totally send that
- 4:23picture. Let me let me get this stuff
- 4:26first though. HG, you'll be happy, man.
- 4:29Passer Tan was in the front as far as AFC players go, But I
- 4:34think it's kind of up to debate for who is going to be up there
- 4:39for the NFC because it kind of looks like on the far left in
- 4:44that front row, it looks like Brian Burns is in the front.
- 4:50On the Giants. But it looks like Brian Burns
- 4:54and Passer Tan are the 2 closest players.
- 4:58Is that the theory? Right?
- 4:59The two closest guys were in the Super Bowl is.
- 5:03Is this it? No, no, that's that's last one.
- 5:07Maybe just click images up there?
- 5:10Let's see yeah, cuz I know what you're talking about cuz this
- 5:14was. That was last year.
- 5:15For Vegas and you could see Drake May and and somebody else
- 5:18up there. I'll send you the picture KB but
- 5:21I'm I'm trying to. OK, we're we're trying to.
- 5:24Get this stuff. We'll we'll examine that later.
- 5:27When we, when we. Get.
- 5:28I'll bring it up when I got it. Is the very front.
- 5:30In the middle is Trevor Lawrence, but next to him is
- 5:34Patrick Sir Tan, who looks like he is a few steps forward than
- 5:38Trevor Lawrence. And then on the very far left is
- 5:42Brian Burns and Oh my gosh, now I'm now I'm just blanking on who
- 5:50else is in it. It's Dak Prescott.
- 5:53Brian Burns and Dak Prescott are on the far, far left.
- 5:56Oh my God. But Brian Burns looks like he's
- 5:59in front of Dak Prescott. So it looks like the the
- 6:02farthest players to the actual like Super Bowl thing where
- 6:07where the Broncos Pastor Tan and Brian Burns.
- 6:10And he's still on the Giants. He is.
- 6:12Broncos, Giants, Super Bowl. That would be something else.
- 6:16That would be a rematch of Super Bowl.
- 6:21I don't remember which one it was exactly because the Broncos
- 6:23lost it pretty badly, but. Oh, you sent me a just a
- 6:26screenshot of the guy in the video.
- 6:28Well, no. I've sent you a screenshot of
- 6:31the logo so that people could understand.
- 6:34Oh, this is just the logo with the colors, right?
- 6:37OK, we're talking about a completely different thing.
- 6:40Yeah, so check this out. The Super Bowl I I forget what
- 6:43the number it is, but the Super. Bowl.
- 6:44It's like when it has the NUM, the Roman numerals, number
- 6:48logos, what Joel's talking about.
- 6:49I know how to do cursive. I can't do Roman numerals.
- 6:52Come on now but anyways, check this out.
- 6:55So this logo came up yesterday and The thing is is they're
- 6:59talking about they think it's going to be the Miami Dolphins
- 7:04for the Chicago Bears. Now come on now.
- 7:07Come on now. That color is not Chicago Bears
- 7:10that. I'm not no bears, bears, no, I
- 7:13could see the dolphins, but I, I get what you got.
- 7:16That's Bronco. I just said orange.
- 7:18My take, and I told DMAC this yesterday, my take is the Denver
- 7:22Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks because it is going to be, it is
- 7:28going to be played at Levi Stadium.
- 7:32I was at Levi Stadium last year. Yeah, it was in San Francisco.
- 7:38It's at Sofi this year. And still in California.
- 7:43Yeah, still in Cali. Well, let's while we're talking
- 7:47football. I mean we have our first game
- 7:49tonight. I've got the Seahawks taking
- 7:52home the West on my on the pick em pool, but it's going to be a
- 7:58a boosted or bolstered Patriots offense going into a a going to
- 8:02be a rowdy Seattle crowd. The twelves will be out.
- 8:07Dude, none of these the Haggis teams got worse.
- 8:09Yeah, they found ways to improve.
- 8:14I'm liking the Patriots receiver core.
- 8:17I'm looking forward to seeing what Romeo Dobbs is going to do
- 8:21over there. A.J.
- 8:22Brown as well. Yeah.
- 8:24I don't think the Seahawks defense is going to be as
- 8:26historically dominant as they were, but they were still
- 8:28they're still going to be a force to be reckoned with.
- 8:31It'll be interesting to see Kenneth Walker out.
- 8:34No, Clint Kubiak as the offensive coordinator.
- 8:37Yeah, Jadarian Price, Zach Charbenet, who's going to take
- 8:40over as the main back in that backfield?
- 8:43My money's still on Price. They did use the the first round
- 8:47pick on him. I think he's going to be the
- 8:49more, but I think Charbenet will see more in the red zone.
- 8:52He is more of the power back. There's short yardage guy that
- 8:55Price is going to be. He's healthy again.
- 8:58Charbenet is not not injured anymore.
- 9:02Because I thought, I thought that's why they drafted Price in
- 9:06the first round, because Charbonnay had ended up getting
- 9:09hurt again. He is.
- 9:13ACL. Oh, that's right, he is out
- 9:15still. So it's it's going to be a
- 9:17Jadarian price season. If you went ahead and drafted
- 9:20him in fantasy, that is a sneaky pick because he's going to be
- 9:23getting starting carries. Yeah, Emmanuel Wilson is the
- 9:27back I'm thinking of. That's that they also they
- 9:30picked up in free agency to fill in for Charbonnet.
- 9:33But yeah. Wilson it he's a bigger body,
- 9:36he's kind of like that bowling ball back build.
- 9:39He can, he can get good carries for them in the red zone, but
- 9:43it's going to be Price this season.
- 9:46I do think it's like a three-point spread.
- 9:49That sounds about right for me, 3 1/2 point spread in favor of
- 9:53Seattle. So I could see a bit of this
- 9:55being like a field goal game. Yeah.
- 9:58So Seahawks winning it on the last second field goal or up
- 10:02three and then holding the Patriots on the final, their
- 10:05final drive. But yeah, Drake May has got some
- 10:08new weapons. They added some guys to the
- 10:11offensive line. Caleb Lomo.
- 10:14Tell me when you guys want that that clip, and tell me when you
- 10:19guys want that Super Bowl thing. That you will will do.
- 10:23Oh, yeah? Well, I guess you can put up the
- 10:25Super Bowl picture while we're kind of talking.
- 10:27We can let people debate that in the comments, OK?
- 10:30We can let them. Let them see.
- 10:32All right. Because I thought you were
- 10:33talking about the graphic where it has all the players walking
- 10:37on the like in the parking lot of the stadium where the where
- 10:43the Super Bowl is going to be played, because that graphic,
- 10:46that graphic just recently dropped as well.
- 10:49There we go. Let's see.
- 10:53Yeah, OK. His face is kind of blocking it,
- 10:55but you can see the yeah, this has been out, but the the light
- 10:59Blues and you've got. That conspiracy there.
- 11:03From lighter orange. I mean, yeah, the Broncos would
- 11:06make sense. I think that's more of their
- 11:08orange then, right? It's close.
- 11:09It could be the Bears, too. How could it be the bears?
- 11:13But the the reason that like the Bears dolphins theory we we know
- 11:17for a fact is incorrect is because the dolphins are
- 11:20absolute dog crap and are definitely.
- 11:26Not. Dolphins.
- 11:27No, the dolphins are dog crap. They're 100% tanking.
- 11:30I mean, they Malik, they have, they made Malik willister
- 11:34quarterback and then gave him absolutely nobody to throw the
- 11:37football to. Their offensive line is putrid
- 11:40besides Jordan Brooks. They have absolutely nobody on
- 11:44that, that defense like it's bad, OK, it's really bad.
- 11:50So we just the Dolphins are not, yeah, they're not making it to
- 11:53the Super Bowl. Their wide receiver one is 22
- 11:57Atwell. They, well, I know the Chicago
- 12:00Bears, The thing, I mean, the Super Bowl.
- 12:02When he said that, I was like, come on, man.
- 12:04But I do see where it's like that green is really only kind
- 12:08of matches the Dolphins. But yeah, we might have to put
- 12:12that conspiracy to bed because I just don't think that the blue,
- 12:18the Aqua, like kind of light blue, sort of the green is
- 12:23really only matches the Dolphins.
- 12:26I think we got to go with the player graphic more.
- 12:28That would make more sense. Dang it dude, I can't find that
- 12:32one. We'll, we'll try to find it by
- 12:35the end of the show. The game on Thursday night, the
- 12:39Rams and the 49ers in Aussie land.
- 12:44That's going to be an interesting match up there.
- 12:47Really. It's going to be interesting
- 12:48just how each team adjust to, I mean, you're like a day ahead of
- 12:52everyone. They have the travel they
- 12:56they're already out there. From what I know, they left on
- 13:00September 2nd and then technically because they lost
- 13:02the day got there on September 4th.
- 13:06So they've been, I think each team's been out there for about
- 13:09the week is practicing, getting a cut, acclimated to the time
- 13:13zone change and everything. So it should still be a pretty
- 13:16good matchup on paper. We're going to see, you know,
- 13:19that Ram super team, are they the the statue that we all think
- 13:24they are? I mean, I'm going to say yes.
- 13:27No, Aaron Donald, he's he's going to be he's hanging out
- 13:32back in the the United States. So it's just going to be Miles
- 13:36Garrett and the rest of that good pass rush.
- 13:40Brock Purdy. Don't know if George Kittle's
- 13:44going to be ready for this one. I don't think he look at the
- 13:48injury report. Yeah, he's still questionable.
- 13:51You've got a couple of guys on the defensive side of the ball
- 13:54questionable for the 49ers quote, including Alfred Collins.
- 14:03We know is confirmed out. So something to OK, something to
- 14:09watch. My phone's about to die.
- 14:13Look at that. You see Pat Sir Tan looks like
- 14:15he's kind of in front of T Law, but maybe T Law's kind of in
- 14:18front of him. You got Dak look at Brian Burns
- 14:22looks like his shoulders past Dak Prescott there and then the
- 14:26only other player on that side is Jonathan Taylor.
- 14:29So it. Well, we know the Colts aren't
- 14:31going to the Super Bowl. Ouch.
- 14:34Hey man, I like, I love Danny Dimes, but I don't think he's
- 14:37taking a chance at the Super. I hate the Colts, so all right.
- 14:42Yeah, Joel, the the Indiana native, not a big Colts guy.
- 14:45I hate the Colts. I can say the same thing.
- 14:48I'm not a Broncos fan and I'm from Colorado.
- 14:51I I understand. I hate the Colts because even
- 14:55though the guy died, God rest his soul, I I didn't, I didn't
- 15:00like the ownership. I didn't like the ownership.
- 15:04Jimmy Boy or say fan? No, dude, because when I when I
- 15:07came back from Russia, he screwed me.
- 15:09He screwed me when I tried to do a a fundraiser in Indiana so
- 15:15Dang, I know the guy personally. He's a prick.
- 15:18Ah, OK. Dang, they have it.
- 15:22Unfortunate news. So who do you got in this one?
- 15:24Caveman Rams or for the Niners? I still got to go with the the
- 15:27the Rams. Yeah, I'm going with the Rams.
- 15:31It's probably going to be a better game at least than it
- 15:34would have been last season like.
- 15:36Those Rams are for the Niners games.
- 15:38They were. They were pretty.
- 15:39Nuts. I won on Thursday Night Football
- 15:40was was crazy. You know, ever since the whole
- 15:44like we well, I'll call it the COVID Super Bowl, OK, ever since
- 15:48the COVID Super Bowl, I have seen the Los Angeles Rams get
- 15:53more calls for them than any other team.
- 15:57Like they are NF LS favorite and I don't know why but they get
- 16:01they get away with so much shit it's not funny.
- 16:06I would say that the cheese started we're the favorites for
- 16:09a little bit, but I mean, we do this is before the COVID Super
- 16:13Bowl. But the the no call pass
- 16:16interference, that was a pretty big one for the Rams.
- 16:19That was their favor. I think that was that that
- 16:25really sucks because like we could have had a a breeze Brady
- 16:28Super Bowl. We never got that would have
- 16:32been that would have been sick, would have fed families.
- 16:35All right, let's get into some of these Sunday games.
- 16:38Bengals and the Buccaneers. Things I'm watching for in this
- 16:43game. How's that Cincinnati offensive
- 16:45line look looking? Who on that Bengals roster can
- 16:50step up on the defensive line and be a disruptive pass rusher,
- 16:56something that they're they're going to be in desperate need of
- 16:58now that Trey Hendrickson is gone on the Buccaneers side?
- 17:04You know, how good is Reuben Bayne?
- 17:07I'm interested to see that. And then Baker Mayfield was off
- 17:14to a hot start last year and then really, really fell off and
- 17:20and struggled down the stretch to carry the load for that Tampa
- 17:24Bay team. They finally came to his
- 17:27extension. It's like $165,000,000 deal that
- 17:32he got. I am going with the Bengals in
- 17:35this one. I think there's a little bit of
- 17:38dysfunction. Tampa Bay with that contract.
- 17:43Vida Vea requested trade. I think there's just a little
- 17:47bit of a little bit of issues going on over there behind the
- 17:50scenes. I don't think anything's wrong
- 17:52with their roster though. They got a good team going with
- 17:56the Bengals. I'm hoping for a full season of
- 17:59Joe Burrow because me too. Who doesn't like to see the best
- 18:03players play? That would be a very fun season
- 18:06as well. We've got the Saints and the
- 18:09Lions. Saints all day.
- 18:13Hey, man's going with the Saints.
- 18:14No surprise there. Dude, no Tyson though, that
- 18:18sucks. Yeah, don't hate me, but I'm
- 18:20going to go with the Lions in this one at home over than the
- 18:25season it'll be we're. Going to surprise you.
- 18:31I wouldn't. I mean, I don't think that Lions
- 18:33defense is all too great, so I wouldn't be surprised if they
- 18:37kept this close. But yeah, I think the Lions are
- 18:43just they they are. They have too much firepower
- 18:46offensively. As long as Brian Branch and
- 18:49Kirby Joseph stay healthy, that is a pretty serviceable unit.
- 18:53And Aiden Hutchinson, yeah, off the edge.
- 18:57Could be could be problematic. Really to take some key points,
- 19:04like things to look at for me for the Saints, like is how's
- 19:10Tyler Shuck looking after a full offseason with the team and with
- 19:14Kellen Moore with this new offense?
- 19:17I mean, how's our how's our interior of our offensive line
- 19:20going to look now that we've got Ruiz back healthy and we picked
- 19:25up David Edwards? It's really like how's our
- 19:29online progressing and how's Tyler Shuck looking?
- 19:32Because I have no question for Chris Olave.
- 19:35His productivity is is going to be the same.
- 19:38Even when he was getting to hospital balls thrown, he was
- 19:40still a pretty productive wide receiver.
- 19:43One, can we get our run game going?
- 19:46The Lions are like the same exact team as they have been for
- 19:49the last three years. So they.
- 19:51Kind of know what you're going to get like they're going to be
- 19:53able to put up a lot of points. It's going to be difficult to
- 19:58stop all the playmakers, Gibbs, Jameson Williams, Almond Raw,
- 20:03Sam Laporta. So I want to see, I really want
- 20:08to see the Saints try to establish the run with Travis A
- 20:10Chan because that that that was their biggest Achilles heel was.
- 20:15Couldn't run the ball they. Just, yeah, couldn't run the
- 20:17ball for for anything. I was.
- 20:20We randomly found some magic with like when we put in Audrey
- 20:24Guesstimate and Devin Neil last year.
- 20:28Everyone just wanted to get hurt.
- 20:30I don't know what it was. Everybody went down last year.
- 20:33There was a bug, a bug in the air.
- 20:36But I'm gonna, I'm gonna have to still go with the Lions on this
- 20:38one. The more little bit of a more
- 20:40experienced team. Look, I still got the Saints
- 20:43winning the NFC South. But the the Lions, that's a
- 20:45tough ask. And I think they're going to win
- 20:46the NFC North. I under a next match up that
- 20:50we're looking at here, the Titans and The Jets.
- 20:53I think I had Tennessee, yeah, I think the Titans winning this
- 20:57one. They got the home field
- 20:59advantage. I think their rosters just a bit
- 21:01more complete than New York's. This is I think this will be a
- 21:05closer game though. I wouldn't actually be surprised
- 21:07if The Jets pull this one out. I don't think The Jets are going
- 21:10to be like as terrible. I don't think they're going to
- 21:14win a ton of games, but I feel like their offense is going to
- 21:18be a little more consistent as long as Bruce Hall and Garrett
- 21:23Wilson stay healthy. Gina Smith, some other
- 21:26quarterback than Justin Fields or Brady Cook.
- 21:29So which is, I mean, I know that's not a high ball, but but
- 21:33it's it is true. And they have a pretty good
- 21:38offensive line, a solid defensive unit.
- 21:41So they're they'll probably be able to hang around in a lot of
- 21:45games. I'm going to lean just go with
- 21:48the Titans on this one, though. I'm just kind of I'm really back
- 21:52and forth. I'm sort of just going with the
- 21:54home team on. This one, this is one of those
- 21:58game. It's really two young teams.
- 22:01I I just want to see the Titans win, to see that team actually
- 22:06progressing. That's one one roster.
- 22:09I really see having a future because Cam War is definitely
- 22:12going to be their guy just based off the plays he made last year,
- 22:18some off platform throws. He's got the arm strength.
- 22:22He made some insanely throw, insanely good throws against the
- 22:27Saints in that game. And I want to I want the end
- 22:31zone boys to be happy. Those Titans fans that get end
- 22:35zone seats to every game and they it's by the opposing teams
- 22:38tunnel and they just trash talk people during the warm ups.
- 22:41The end zone, boys. Yeah, Tennessee, I think they
- 22:45got Cam Ward some some weapons. Their their offensive line is
- 22:53better. I don't know if it's great still
- 22:56and the defense there's still some question marks there.
- 22:59So while I I am I'm in I'm seeing a jump from them.
- 23:03I don't know how how big of a jump it's it's going to be.
- 23:08I don't think, you know, they're going to suddenly turn like turn
- 23:10the the core there and be the the newest playoff team.
- 23:14I think they still probably come closer to last in this, in their
- 23:19their, their division. Rebuilds take time you.
- 23:23Know, but I do think we're going to start to see the the
- 23:26beginnings of what could be a special team and Cam board's a a
- 23:28good player and they just got they'll this is a good season to
- 23:34find some things that they do really well and to work on that
- 23:39and develop this team for the future.
- 23:43But I don't it was just such a talent that fleeted roster last
- 23:47year and even though they made some really nice moves, I just
- 23:50don't see it. Can't fill every hole with one
- 23:53offseason. Can't.
- 23:55Can't take every gap. Yeah.
- 23:58Put a Band-Aid on it one offseason.
- 24:00You got to take some time. All right, Ravens, Colts, Here's
- 24:05an interesting match up here. Colts hosting the Baltimore
- 24:09Ravens. I do think I went with the
- 24:10haptic Baltimore in this one A-Team that could potentially be
- 24:18the one seed. I really think Jesse Minter,
- 24:21great defensive minded coach, is exactly what a a talented Ravens
- 24:26defense that just has really underperformed the past couple
- 24:30years needs. It'll be interesting to see how
- 24:35that line looks minus Tyler Lindenbaum, but you know, you
- 24:39still have Lamar Jackson, one of the most explosive and dangerous
- 24:44quarterbacks in the league, Derrick Henry still back there.
- 24:48Jacoby Lanes had a really good camp to go along.
- 24:51Pair up with Zay Flowers. This should be a very good team
- 24:56again. I I see one seed potential with
- 24:59them. I that's that's definitely their
- 25:02ceiling, their floor. They're still probably like a 10
- 25:06and seven team. I'm going with the Ravens too.
- 25:09They're good team. Still can't can't sleep on Lamar
- 25:15end. I wanna the Colts, the big thing
- 25:17I'm watching for in this game. How is Daniel Jones going to
- 25:20look off of the was it an Achilles or an ACLI?
- 25:23Can't remember which one. I was with him.
- 25:25I think it was an ACI. Think it was an ACL for him.
- 25:29No, it wasn't an Achilles. I think it might actually might
- 25:32have been his Achilles. Yeah, I think it was his
- 25:35Achilles. It's a.
- 25:38Slower start for him. I mean, we know Jonathan
- 25:42Taylor's going to be great. Michael Pittman junior is gone.
- 25:45Like who's going to be kind of take the new new wide receiver
- 25:50one in that offense, you know, I'm looking at?
- 25:53No, they gave Alec Pierce the bag, remember?
- 25:56Yeah, that's true. But Alec Pierce, he's like a,
- 25:59he's just, he's a very like he's a deep threat guy to me.
- 26:01You know, I just like, I'm not super sold on that, but I guess
- 26:08I have a lot of faith in him. He's a great jump ball, like
- 26:12throw it down the field type of guy.
- 26:14But I just wonder how effective he is going to be in the short
- 26:18and intermediate, you know, But that's what they got Tyler
- 26:22Warren, they got Josh Downs, a couple of guys I think could be
- 26:25very big for them. And that that aspect and maybe
- 26:28Alec Pierce will prove me wrong. But I just think he was, he was
- 26:32a jump ball guy to me, you know, a, a deep threat type of
- 26:36archetype. The prove it, prove it year for
- 26:39I think a lot of people would agree with you there on his his
- 26:44play style as well. So that's kind of what I think.
- 26:48Ravens by 6:00 on that one. The one possession game close
- 26:57one still all. Right, we got Steelers, Falcons
- 27:00our next match up here. I can't believe the spread
- 27:03didn't get high after two of us named the starter.
- 27:06I know I'm I'm thinking like Steelers by 17 points right
- 27:10here. I got the the Steelers as one of
- 27:13my survivor picks. Solid pick right here.
- 27:17Yeah, that's how you get a team out the way early.
- 27:20At home, at the against the Atlanta Falcons, Falcons got a
- 27:25ton of offensive talents, no doubt, but it's Pittsburgh's a
- 27:32good defensive unit. Kind of the last year for Aaron
- 27:35Rodgers. I'm not sold on how good that
- 27:39offense is going to be. They did bring in Michael
- 27:40Pittman. Mike Tomlin's not there anymore.
- 27:44I don't know if Mike McCarthy is going to, you know, find a way
- 27:49to coach you into a 500 record on the season, so.
- 27:54Yeah. I do think they win this game,
- 27:56but just because Tua's really struggled in camp and I think
- 28:01he's going to struggle in this game and that's going to really
- 28:04hold the Falcons back. But I don't have a lot of high
- 28:10hopes for the Steelers after this, I'm not going to lie.
- 28:14Now I'm pretty sure they have Drew Howler behind.
- 28:19Drew Howler or Will Howard, I guess.
- 28:22They also have Mason Rudolph. They decided to keep 4, what's 4
- 28:28quarterbacks on the roster, which was kind of crazy.
- 28:31But yeah, I got to go with Steelers on this one.
- 28:34I don't think the Falcons are going to be all too dangerous
- 28:37with TO as much as you know, seems like a great guy, but I
- 28:41don't. I just think his days being a a
- 28:44serviceable quarterback are far behind him.
- 28:48That the 70 to 20 game did some detrimental things to people's
- 28:52career, whether it was good or bad.
- 28:54Yeah, a 70 to 20 game did. It's like an Omen was broke in
- 29:00the NBA, in the NFL. It's like the two teams have
- 29:02gone in complete opposite directions.
- 29:05Then from what that the score of that game showed, you know, like
- 29:09it was we got their asses kicked and now we're like a contender
- 29:14in the AFC again. Just a few years later and the
- 29:17Dolphins are are tanking with one of the worst rosters in the
- 29:22NFL. I'm paying a ton of guys that
- 29:25don't play for their team anymore.
- 29:27A bunch of. Malik Willis, though.
- 29:29Hey, Malik Willis, Come on. So.
- 29:34Steelers going to get this victory over the Falcons.
- 29:36We're going to go on to the Bears and Panthers here.
- 29:41This is an interesting one. Who did I end up taking for
- 29:45this? I got 1.
- 29:48I did go with Carolina. I went with Chicago.
- 29:53It's kind of a trap game for the Bears first game of the season.
- 29:58And so Panthers team has been been pretty promising.
- 30:02They're actually rebuilding, made the playoffs last year, had
- 30:05to host the Rams. This will be close.
- 30:09This is going to be a close one because I think the Panthers,
- 30:14they made some, they made some good improvements.
- 30:16That defense, which was already a solid enough unit last year
- 30:20brought in Devin Lloyd, which was huge.
- 30:25And this could be a match up where Bryce Young plays pretty
- 30:28well. I mean, the Bears, I just don't
- 30:30see that defense being very good.
- 30:32They still gave up a lot of points last year.
- 30:37They just thrived on taking the football away.
- 30:40That's not super sustainable. They had thing to do.
- 30:43They had the guy who led the NFL in picks and then they had the
- 30:48guy who is in second place in picks and their secondary,
- 30:53right? And it wasn't not like it's a
- 30:55bad thing at all, but they were really just thriving on jumping
- 30:58routes. It wasn't really like lockdown
- 31:03coverage, it was more just really aggressive plays on the
- 31:07ball by your deep safeties that got it generated him a lot of
- 31:13picks last year and it was there really successful.
- 31:16I do think the Bears and the Panthers is going to be a close
- 31:21one. But yeah, they like it's going
- 31:23to come down to probably a final drive or close to it.
- 31:26And you know what, Just give me, give me the ice man in that
- 31:30situation. Yeah, who?
- 31:33I mean, who else Who does? Oh my God, Playoffs last year.
- 31:39I can't wait. I'm glad there's football on
- 31:41tonight because this is awesome. We got the Browns and the Jags.
- 31:45I mean the Browns quarterback situation as a total joke.
- 31:49They lost their best defensive player, their best wide
- 31:53receivers, a rookie. So man.
- 31:56If you're playing against Jacoby Meyer in fantasy or against
- 32:00somebody with with the with Parker Washington, just just be
- 32:04careful in week one. Yeah, because this is rough.
- 32:08So, I mean, I don't think the Browns defense is necessarily
- 32:12terrible. They did just lose their best
- 32:14player. But yeah, now I think
- 32:17Jacksonville's Deshaun Watson cannot play quarterback anymore.
- 32:22He's so washed. But they they're paying him a
- 32:26ton of money, so they have to, they've got to start them.
- 32:30So he's going to get, he's going to be out there, but.
- 32:32Just start Shadour. I get that they're paying him a
- 32:35bunch of money and like you might as well plan but like come
- 32:39on dude. It's just so clear at this
- 32:41point, like that's just not what are you doing?
- 32:43You don't have any hope for the future there with them.
- 32:45Like you're just trying to get. Out of the.
- 32:47Situation like just give Shadour a shot, maybe he's good, maybe
- 32:52he isn't. And then I mean, if if he's you
- 32:56think you got something there, great, he's got plenty of
- 32:59experience and you can build the roster around them or if not,
- 33:01just get you get a new quarterback in the draft next
- 33:04year. Like just start one of the two
- 33:08that you drafted the year before like 2 years ago.
- 33:11Like what the heck are they doing?
- 33:13Gonna go with the Jags by a lot in this one.
- 33:17All right, this is a This will be the best 11:00 game.
- 33:20We've kind of got a unstoppable force versus an immovable
- 33:24object. Bills versus Texans top.
- 33:27What could be the top offense in the league versus the top?
- 33:31What could be the top of defense?
- 33:32OK. In the league come into the
- 33:34season, I let's see who did I end up taking this one.
- 33:40I've got the Bills eek in and out on the road.
- 33:44OK. Again, because I'm just I'm a
- 33:47little unsure of the Texans offense, like how is CJ Shroud
- 33:53going to play? They really don't have any big
- 33:56pass catchers outside of Nico Collins.
- 33:58So I wonder, I think they're going to struggle to move the
- 34:00ball. Still got woody marks Woody
- 34:04marks David Montgomery, which isn't like a.
- 34:06Bad. Oh yeah, they got Montgomery
- 34:07too. That doesn't necessarily like
- 34:09strike fear and to me if I'm a a defensive coordinator.
- 34:14It's like a it's like if Sonic and Knuckles was like, you know,
- 34:21if Knuckles was teaming up with just some random guy, it's just
- 34:26a random Anchidna chilling with, with Knuckles.
- 34:29It's. Like knuckles and tails.
- 34:32Yeah, no, nothing against Woody Marks.
- 34:36I actually, I drafted him in our league.
- 34:39But I'm not for that reason, I'm going to go with the Bills.
- 34:42I feel like they, I mean, they'll be able to move the ball
- 34:47even against this good Texas defense.
- 34:49So, and I think, yeah, they'll they'll, they'll have learned
- 34:55some things from last year. Joe Brady still running the
- 34:59show. They're offensively.
- 35:00So that I'm going to go with the bills on that one.
- 35:03Raiders, Dolphins don't want the Raiders to to get the win here.
- 35:10Like I said, Dolphins are tanking their their rosters
- 35:14really bad. First time in a long time that
- 35:17I'm picking the Raiders. We want to know.
- 35:20Yeah, let's do it. I I don't think that's, it's
- 35:24that bad of a team. The lines gotten better.
- 35:29They kind of besides Brock Bowers, they're still a little
- 35:32lacking on the elite pass catchers, but I think I like
- 35:36what they did on the defensive side of the ball.
- 35:40Like, I just want to show you some of the guys in that
- 35:42defensive roster. It's like you.
- 35:47Did prove it here for their offensive line too, because that
- 35:49was a good point of evidence in their offseason.
- 35:52Like the Kobe Dean? Awesome signing.
- 35:55It's been a lot of money in their offense.
- 35:57Clay Walker. Broad and Clay Walker.
- 36:01Still got Max let's. See, there was something in the
- 36:03secondary like as well. Yeah, they got Eric Stokes.
- 36:08They extended Eric Stokes, Jermont.
- 36:10Jermont McCoy was the steal of the draft.
- 36:13They brought in Terry and Johnson.
- 36:17Yeah, yeah, old man Jeremy Chin out there still.
- 36:23Dude was a part of the freaking Patriots dynasty still around in
- 36:28the NFL. Look at him go.
- 36:31Yeah. So I think the the, I think the
- 36:36Raiders made some solid improvements.
- 36:38Jalen Naylor also I thought was a good a good signing.
- 36:42Kirk Cousins, well, I don't think he can necessarily throw
- 36:47the ball like he he was doing back in like.
- 36:50They only got him for one mil. Minnesota.
- 36:52Kirk Cousins is cheaper than Fernando.
- 36:54Yeah, that's crazy. And I think he's still very good
- 36:58quarterback or or at least I can one that can make your team
- 37:01competitive Atlanta mils. For a mil I've taken Kirk.
- 37:05Yeah, Atlanta was. Atlanta was kind of cooking with
- 37:08Kirko there in the final stretch of the season.
- 37:11So, yeah, and the Dolphins, there should be a team that they
- 37:15could easily beat. All right, We got a little NFC
- 37:18North rivalry at the beginning of the season in the afternoon
- 37:22window. Packers, Vikings.
- 37:25I'm going with Minnesota. Open the season with here.
- 37:29OK. That defense is still nasty.
- 37:31And I think I have high hopes for Kyler Murray.
- 37:33He's in the best situation he's been in his whole career behind
- 37:36one of the best offensive lines. He's got tons of weapons and
- 37:41he's I think he's going to get to just throw it all over the
- 37:44yard. The Justin Jefferson, Jordan
- 37:46Addison, TJ Hawkinson. It's going to be a good year to
- 37:51be Kyler Murray, good year to be a Vikings fan.
- 37:54This is going to be a really. I'm feeling Minnesota here too.
- 37:58They won nine games with 9 as they're quarterly back for most
- 38:02of the year. He is not.
- 38:04Unless. Unless Lafleur and the Packers
- 38:08and their offense came up with some nasty plays to get through
- 38:12the zone blitz game, your RB one is gone.
- 38:16Establishing the run just got that much harder.
- 38:19You might not have Tucker Craft, who's an exceptional run
- 38:21blocker, pass blocker and route runner, just an all around
- 38:26offensive threat for the Packers.
- 38:29I think this, I think they're just going to get after George
- 38:31Love and they're going to be in the backfield on the on the
- 38:35second string guy. I also just don't think Green
- 38:38Bay's defense is going to be that good until Micah gets back.
- 38:41It's true. Like that was he really he was
- 38:45really carrying that defense and making them a lot.
- 38:49They they really struggled after he got hurt.
- 38:52So yeah, give me the Vikings to get the the week one win.
- 38:56Eagles, commanders I've got It could be an exciting year for
- 39:00the Commanders, but I got to go with the Eagles here.
- 39:03Yeah. That's still very, I mean, even
- 39:06though they lost on the defensive ball, they lost the
- 39:08Kobe Dean, they lost Reed Blankenship and AJ Brown's gone.
- 39:15Still got some it. Feels like a a bit in a way a
- 39:18reloaded offense like their wide receiver room got a little bit
- 39:23more dynamic. Yeah, I mean, Devante was the
- 39:27best, arguably the best wide receiver to in football.
- 39:30He absolutely be the wide receiver one you get Makai Lemon
- 39:34that with your A draft your first round draft pick.
- 39:37Dantavian Wicks has been having a really good camp.
- 39:40I mean, he might be the wide receiver too to start the
- 39:42season. It gives you like, it gives you
- 39:44like a little like pack. They pack in a little bit more
- 39:47of a punch. Now it feels like they're more
- 39:49they're able to, they're going to be able to take the top off.
- 39:53Plus, I think that commander's defence is still pretty old and
- 39:56slow, and I'm not, yeah. I do like, I do like Sonny
- 40:02Styles, but I don't think he's going to immediately make that
- 40:06defense. Yeah.
- 40:08That's right again. So I'm going to go with the
- 40:12Eagles in this one. Philly.
- 40:15All right, then we got the Chargers and the Cardinals.
- 40:19I've got the Chargers winning this one.
- 40:22Pretty big spread. I can't wait to see what my
- 40:26offense looks like under Mike McDaniel.
- 40:30Jacoby Rusett's going to be starting for the Cardinals.
- 40:34Vladney Conky owners, this is going to be your week.
- 40:36Yeah, you might go off. Right, I don't.
- 40:40Think Joku owners too. I only the Cardinals defense is
- 40:44all too great. I would have loved like to see
- 40:47them either bolster their trenches or go for a disruptor
- 40:51on the on the defensive edge. But they will with Jeremiah
- 40:54love. We're going to get to see him in
- 40:57action. That'll be exciting.
- 41:00He's going to be looking like Ashton Gente last year.
- 41:03Yeah, most of his yards will come after contact.
- 41:06Yeah, can, what's his name, Marvin Harrison Junior.
- 41:11Take that, finally, take that next step.
- 41:13We've seen the flashes, but he's just been so inconsistent.
- 41:16Is it weird to say I'm more interested in Michael Wilson
- 41:19after he just got the bag? Yeah.
- 41:21No, that's that's I. Feel wrong for saying that.
- 41:24That's wide receiver won in Arizona, Man, I I'm telling you,
- 41:26he's just a better player. It feels weird to say that cuz
- 41:30that like that's, that was Maserati Marv man.
- 41:33That's the guy that I wrote. He was hyping out like Cam Ward
- 41:35said, like Cam Newton said, that's Maserati Marv man.
- 41:39Look what happened to him. A lot of there's just a lot of
- 41:45expectations on him and it's going to be a prove it here for
- 41:48him for sure. I want to see, I'm interested on
- 41:53how that Chargers defense looks minus Jesse Benter.
- 41:57I think they'll still be good. There's still plenty of talented
- 42:00players over there, but I think that he really elevated them to
- 42:04an elite level with his defensive scheme.
- 42:06So. It could be an Achilles heel
- 42:08this season. Because I wouldn't be shocked if
- 42:10they take a a step back. Their line play is definitely
- 42:13going to improve and their their offense as a whole is going to
- 42:17take a leap, which is hard to say because like they really
- 42:22worried. Not, not a bad team by any
- 42:24means. Last year, yeah, charges were
- 42:27decent. They just had the worst one of
- 42:30the worst offensive lines in football, like maybe the worst
- 42:33it was. It was really bad at some
- 42:35stretches, but we got, I think this should be a good easy week
- 42:39one win for for the Chargers. Oh yeah.
- 42:42All right, our our prime time games.
- 42:45On Sunday Night Football this week 1.
- 42:47I love it. Cowboys, Giants, I I'm going
- 42:50with Dallas on the road and MetLife.
- 42:54I'm, I'm excited about the Giants, but I think that they're
- 42:58still like going to be the 3rd place team, maybe the 4th, still
- 43:01last in the NFC East. You're going to have to score
- 43:05like 30 plus points to beat the Cowboys, just like last year.
- 43:09New head coach, still a very young team.
- 43:13I just don't think that they're going to be ready to score that
- 43:17many points. I think they're going to get the
- 43:19opportunities, but they're just going to come fall just a bit
- 43:22short. It's an improved Cowboys
- 43:24defense. I I don't have a lot of faith in
- 43:27the giant secondary. I think they're the defensive
- 43:32lines, all right, But the Cowboys have a great offensive
- 43:35line. They have so many weapons.
- 43:37Yeah, I think it'll be tougher. And, you know, you still got a
- 43:41young quarterback out there. It's a new head coach, a young
- 43:44team, lot of a lot of new pieces and new parts on this team.
- 43:47I just think the Cowboys there have the benefit.
- 43:49There's a lot of consistency from last year that this year
- 43:53going into that. And I think that's going to be
- 43:55that'll be a big thing to their advantage, too.
- 43:58I don't know if I said this in our bold predictions, but I
- 44:01think the Cowboys win the NFC East.
- 44:04That's yeah, we both said that last week.
- 44:06That was so first day back in the studio for me.
- 44:10That was our, that was our prediction that we made.
- 44:13Then finally, Monday Night Football Broncos Chiefs Broncos
- 44:192 1/2 point Underdogs going in. That's only because you're on
- 44:24the road. I think if this is in Denver,
- 44:27Bronco Broncos got a three, got a three-point spread up there,
- 44:32Denver 3 and a. Half.
- 44:36You know what? I think we get this done.
- 44:38I think we win. They beat you guys in Denver or
- 44:43you guys are sweeping them this year, I think.
- 44:45What sweepers? OK.
- 44:46I don't think the Chiefs are all that improved.
- 44:49I mean, like, I like the Kenneth Walker signing, but you lost.
- 44:52So they lost so much in their secondary with what's his
- 44:59Mcduffie getting traded to the Rams, and then Jaylen Watson
- 45:02left and went to the Rams as well.
- 45:04It's a different Chiefs team. It's not the same as it's been
- 45:07I. Just don't have too many.
- 45:10It's the same pass catchers. Really, though, they're they're
- 45:13you know, it's it's Rasheed Rice, it's it's Xavier worthy.
- 45:18It's Taekwon Thornton. It's it's the rookie serious
- 45:21Allen Kelsey's just another year older and slower the lines.
- 45:27That that phone booth, that plane in the phone booth, really
- 45:31tight bunch and a lot of mesh stuff that the Andy Reid is
- 45:35having him run. It's they really got figured out
- 45:37last year because how many times her she Rice got blasted and how
- 45:42many times Xavier Worthy got blasted going across the middle
- 45:46last year. Because the offenses are seeing
- 45:50that now it's they're going to have to, if the Chiefs are going
- 45:54to have to really show that their offense has gotten newer,
- 46:01at least developed into into something different.
- 46:06I still think that they could be, they'll be competitive in a
- 46:09lot of the games. But I I got them finishing third
- 46:12in the NFC rather the AFC West again.
- 46:16And I think we're, yeah, we're better.
- 46:18We're better than them that we we're good enough to sweep them.
- 46:21I I honestly agree with you, especially if you win this game,
- 46:26I'd be it's only going to be harder for them to beat.
- 46:28You I don't if they if they were to get one though, it would be,
- 46:31I think it would be more likely at home.
- 46:33So I got a lot of confidence in my team.
- 46:36So I'm taking them to win. But I'm also I'm not going to
- 46:40freak out if we lose this game against the Chiefs because
- 46:43they're they're they are improved, but I don't think that
- 46:46they're a lot of their big issues are they're not like
- 46:53major issues for them anymore. But they are still problems that
- 46:57will make it difficult for them to be successful, successful to
- 47:02the standard that they've kind of become accustomed to.
- 47:04It'll be still a bit of a struggle for them, but it's
- 47:09still in, you know, 8-9 games. All right, that's going to do it
- 47:14for the week one NFL predictions.
- 47:18We're going to go ahead and we'll take a quick music break
- 47:22here. Should we can I stole our play
- 47:25of the you know, we'll do it after the break.
- 47:27We already we already hit the the music.
- 47:30When we come back, Caveman's got the play of the day.
- 47:34We'll take a look at the little the the MLB playoff picture just
- 47:38a bit, and then we're going to jump into week one of the
- 47:42college football season, break all of that down.
- 47:45Football's here. A lot of controversy, a lot of
- 47:47star star stars showing out. So we, we got it all for you.
- 47:52Coming up here on the final time.
- 47:53Now football, if Let our.

- 51:37about the navigation of their. I only knew how to draw flies
- 51:40before MBR. Now I know how to create design
- 51:43cartoons with my words and now I hi my name is Quacker.
- 51:47Before I knew nothing on 3D printing.
- 51:49Now look at me, I'm making boats and key chains for my family.
- 52:01Back. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 52:05it's about that time last night. The Dodgers newly acquired Tariq
- 52:11Schuble pitched the Dodgers past the Reds 3:00 to 2:00, but not
- 52:16before Ellie De La Cruz could make some sparks fly top of the
- 52:20third inning. Dane Myers single to left field
- 52:23down two runs in the third inning.
- 52:25And next came Ellie, who blasted A2 run bomb 444 feet versus
- 52:31Tariq Schuble to tie up the game.
- 52:33And in the bottom of the third did the show did not stop for
- 52:38Ellie T Oscar Hernandez found the gap in center field that
- 52:41tripled while some dangerous base running.
- 52:44Hernandez wanted to take the lead And that leads us into our
- 52:48play of the day. Check out the clip oh 00 And
- 53:00that leads us through our play of the day.
- 53:03My. Bad guys.
- 53:05You're all good. You're good.
- 53:07My bad. This time, this is sent to
- 53:13center. Myers coming.
- 53:14On 105 miles, then shoots up to second from center field.
- 53:16Look at this. Story.
- 53:18Motoring for 3rd the way he was on De La Cruz from center to the
- 53:20plane it's. There.
- 53:27He's on. He beat him down the line, De La
- 53:29Cruz from center field, from like mid center field and he
- 53:33got. Him in the whole plane statcaps
- 53:37says he threw that ball to home plate from medium shallow center
- 53:41at 105.3 miles an hour a. 105.3 That's crazy.
- 53:49Holy crap, yeah, that's that's insane, man.
- 53:57Insanity from Ellie de la Cruz. Insane in the membrane.
- 54:03That's right. He.
- 54:06Reds lost, but Elie De La Cruz made he got one of the hottest
- 54:09players in baseball. Yeah, he really bailed out his
- 54:12his outfielder too. That missed that.
- 54:15He It was really the perfect gap from Hernandez.
- 54:18Like that shallow center field, like low to intermediate center
- 54:25field, right where the guys really got to run hard.
- 54:28Like most of the time you got to die for that if it's going to
- 54:31drop into that gap and it bounced all the way to the
- 54:33warning track. Yeah, I was just great outfield
- 54:37defense and then Allie just firing a missile.
- 54:44Let the cannons. He got greedy, remember this
- 54:47guy? Greedy cost him.
- 54:49He. Wanted the lead back.
- 54:52Unfortunately for Cincinnati, Dodgers ended up getting that
- 54:56one red lead back and they they couldn't come back.
- 54:59Yeah, All right. Well, Speaking of baseball,
- 55:03dude, we got the the postseason picture starting to take shape a
- 55:07little bit here. We're on themlb.com.
- 55:11We've got our predicted bracket or what the bracket would look
- 55:15like if the season ended today in the AL, Tampa Bay and the
- 55:21Chicago White Sox would be your one and two seed.
- 55:25How about the White Sox? Shout out the White Sox shout
- 55:28out Jimmy covers. Yeah, dude, they were so bad for
- 55:33like the past couple of seasons. But yeah, I love what that team
- 55:38has just been doing this year. You're like you said, your
- 55:40economy is a beast and very well deserved.
- 55:45I would love to see them be the the one the one seed or get at
- 55:50least one of those first two buys.
- 55:52We won't be asking where, what team is Murakami going to be
- 55:56traded to that will be contending next to me covers.
- 56:00We're going to be asking which star is going to be helping the
- 56:04contending Chicago White Sox try to go after a World Series
- 56:09title. I mean, look at this.
- 56:11And then the and now you've got the Brewers and the Dodgers as
- 56:15your one and two seed. But I keep them in the city of
- 56:19Chicago. The Cubs are having a really
- 56:21great season. Very they're they're sort of
- 56:26lost their the heat they had on the Brewers.
- 56:30That was a closer race for the NL Central just a few weeks ago.
- 56:34But still, you know, 80 plus wins.
- 56:37They're at 81 right now. I mean, they're just in the
- 56:41wrong, wrong league. If they weren't an NL team, they
- 56:45would be, well, they'll probably be first place in in a lot of
- 56:51other than the other two American leagues outside of the
- 56:54East because the the Rays and Yankees are both having pretty
- 56:57good seasons. But yeah, that the AL West is
- 57:01just disgusting. Like that's just, it's kind of
- 57:03crazy that like a team is going to get in from there and we're
- 57:07going to have to leave out like it's probably maybe an 80 plus
- 57:11win Red Sox team or something like.
- 57:15That. Right now they are currently
- 57:19projected as the five seed. They're the. 5.
- 57:22They would be, they're just ahead of the Guardians, who are
- 57:2874 and 72. Yeah.
- 57:33But I am thinking like if we go over to the the NL, so like a
- 57:38team from the AL West is going to get in.
- 57:41Right now the Padres who how 77 wins, which is 3 more than the
- 57:47the best team in the AL West, would miss the playoffs.
- 57:52Wow. Stuff it's brutal out here, man.
- 57:57So yeah, our our projected first round matchup should the season
- 58:01end today where you'd have the Astros and the guardians as your
- 58:0536 Yankees Red Sox. I mean that would be a crazy
- 58:10first round series, that rivalry there and in the wild card round
- 58:15as your 45 matchup. At this point in the year, it's
- 58:19really just making the playoffs. You just got to be in the top
- 58:24six teams on either side is any anything can happen at any given
- 58:30moment in one of these series. Like even last year, the Dodgers
- 58:34were in some tough moments, even though they look dominant.
- 58:37The Brewers were such a dominant team last year, they got
- 58:40eliminated in the second round. Like it's really, really
- 58:45anything can happen here. You just got to make it there.
- 58:48It's such a close race, though, for these last final spots, so
- 58:52three-game difference. And the NL, what the wild card
- 58:57matchups are would be if that's if the season ended right now
- 59:00with the kind of projecting to be as you've got the
- 59:03Diamondbacks and the Braves, it would be your 36.
- 59:08And then Chicago Cubs and the Philly, Philadelphia Phillies
- 59:13would be your 4-5. That would be a that'll also be
- 59:18really good 45 match up right there.
- 59:21How do you think the Braves would probably sweep the
- 59:25Diamondbacks? The Braves are pretty good team.
- 59:28They're let's see whether they had 85.
- 59:31So I mean, the Dodgers have been there.
- 59:35They sort of snapped out of that like losing trend that they have
- 59:39where they were losing more games and they were winning.
- 59:41They're 7 and 10 or 7 and three in their last 10, but they only
- 59:46got 3 games on Atlanta L as just got to make sure they finish the
- 59:51season stronger. They could be looking at
- 59:53potentially having to play in the wild card round.
- 59:57That's true. But we actually they also have
- 1:00:00the tightest races that we have going on right now.
- 1:00:05And so yeah, like even in the wild card in, in, in a couple
- 1:00:10of. Different divisions.
- 1:00:11There's there's a couple of teams that nothing's guaranteed.
- 1:00:16So the NL wild card right now, the Diamondbacks have just a
- 1:00:20half game lead over the Padres for the final berth.
- 1:00:24That is I think the tightest margin right there.
- 1:00:26It's San Diego and Arizona who is going to get the victory and
- 1:00:33get in there. And then in the AL wild card,
- 1:00:39the Guardians, who are also in the race for the AL Central,
- 1:00:44they're just behind the White Sox by two games.
- 1:00:47But if they don't win that, they also are in danger of just
- 1:00:51missing the playoffs entirely because the Blue Jays have are
- 1:00:56just one game behind them for that final berth there.
- 1:00:59Wow, that is insane. Yeah, that's really.
- 1:01:02Close and I want that like you know how like that's just how
- 1:01:06bad like the overall American League is.
- 1:01:09Is that like there's a potential that just four teams from the AL
- 1:01:13East make it and then just the top two from the Central and
- 1:01:17West get in? Like what?
- 1:01:20What happened? Like why?
- 1:01:23Why are all the good? Why are all the good teams just
- 1:01:25in the AL East? It's pretty tough, Yeah,
- 1:01:30Honestly, American. League.
- 1:01:31If you had to pick right now, what team in this bracket are
- 1:01:36you going with to or at least pick pick a favorite and pick a
- 1:01:42sleeper team My. OK, you go.
- 1:01:45You go first. I guess a favorite for me.
- 1:01:51Both my teams are coming from the NL, obviously the Brewers
- 1:01:56obviously being the favorite. Got Mizrowski going now.
- 1:01:59Young pitcher almost throwing 120 miles an hour.
- 1:02:04It's insane. But if Atlanta keeps playing the
- 1:02:08way that they have been, Ronald Lacuna just recently got to 1000
- 1:02:12hits, Michael Harrison's having a really good season.
- 1:02:16Matt Olson is their home run leader this year, almost has 40
- 1:02:21and he has 80. RB is there.
- 1:02:24They really could be a team like Shock LA in the second round.
- 1:02:29I agree. I wholeheartedly agree.
- 1:02:32Like, I mean, the Dodgers have this huge payroll, so like you
- 1:02:35bought like and they brought in all these stars.
- 1:02:38They get scuba. I mean, it was the one dude from
- 1:02:42whom I think of Kyle Tucker. Is that his name that they got
- 1:02:46in the offseason? Yep.
- 1:02:47OK. Yeah.
- 1:02:50Like they just they bring in all these star players.
- 1:02:53So it's hard to say like they they shouldn't be the favorite,
- 1:02:56but I think Atlanta, but there's a team that could be them
- 1:03:00because I don't know if the Brewers are as like this is
- 1:03:05still pretty similar team to the team that LA took down last last
- 1:03:09season. I think Atlanta, man, when that
- 1:03:13offense gets going, like, I don't care how good your bull
- 1:03:15pending is. Like they're when their bats are
- 1:03:17hitting like it's they're just so hard to stop.
- 1:03:20And they still got an elite pitcher and Chris Sale there as
- 1:03:24well. Yeah, it's, I think Atlanta
- 1:03:27could definitely be the favorite to come out of the the NL, the
- 1:03:32NL right there. The last two years, well, it's
- 1:03:34been their issue. They got to be healthy and for
- 1:03:39those two seasons in a row that the real issue was the injury
- 1:03:43bug. It happened.
- 1:03:45This is the one year that they've really made it through
- 1:03:47the entire season with all their guys 80 plus win team like
- 1:03:52they're still it's still got their championship window here
- 1:03:56with some of their vets. Who's your who's your sleeper
- 1:04:01team? If if this is what the our
- 1:04:03current playoff bracket is looking like.
- 1:04:06Sleeper team, you know, watch out, also watch out for Houston.
- 1:04:16They are coming in out of three seed just like just like
- 1:04:20Atlanta. But as far as far as the sleeper
- 1:04:23team from the AO, Houston plays good baseball all year.
- 1:04:28They were on the radio a lot in Louisiana because there's no pro
- 1:04:31team closest closest city to Lafayette's Houston.
- 1:04:36So yeah, the all the Lafayette sports stations play Houston
- 1:04:41Astros games late at night. Yeah, we get when we have MLB
- 1:04:47games at my work, like all the the Louisiana stations, like if
- 1:04:50there's a a Texas team playing, Orlando's playing like.
- 1:04:55That it's on it, yeah. They got they get them on the
- 1:04:57like the Fox games. The interesting thing there,
- 1:05:00there's no pro team. So if you're a baseball fan from
- 1:05:03Louisiana, you're like LSU Tigers fan, and that's pretty
- 1:05:07much your pro team. Or you just like Light.
- 1:05:09You're just a fan of a random MLB team.
- 1:05:13It was kind of cool. One of our Baton Rouge
- 1:05:16affiliates, they every Friday night when the tax the Rangers
- 1:05:20Sports Network broadcast Texas Rangers games, they put the the
- 1:05:25Rangers games on that one on WBRL in Baton Rouge and.
- 1:05:31That's only it's only what, about 7 hours from Baton Rouge?
- 1:05:35So it's like. It's not too far.
- 1:05:37It's really not too bad. Are my sleeper team, I'm going
- 1:05:40to give also get some favourites in the AL, but my sleeper out of
- 1:05:44the NL is got to be the Chicago Cubs.
- 1:05:47I don't even know if you could really call him a sleeper like I
- 1:05:49think they have. I mean, they're just the
- 1:05:53unfortunate they they're just the unfortunate circumstance of
- 1:05:57having to play behind every Milwaukee, the best team in the
- 1:06:01but record wise in the league. But this is like AI got a really
- 1:06:05good roster PCA man, that guy's just super sick to watch.
- 1:06:10So yeah, they've they've got the star power.
- 1:06:14I think they've got the the depth to potentially shock some
- 1:06:19teams, maybe pull off an upset, go on a deeper one.
- 1:06:22If I got to go with a favorite out of the out of the Ali mean,
- 1:06:27I'm going to go with Tampa Bay. They've just been the most
- 1:06:29consistent team in the AL all year.
- 1:06:34Wouldn't expect that to to change at all.
- 1:06:38But if I'm going with the sleeper, give me the Red Sox.
- 1:06:41OK, we've seen. Them at times this year when
- 1:06:44they get hot, they're really hot.
- 1:06:45I mean they had the longest winning streak in baseball.
- 1:06:49It was like the longest winning streak in pro sports like over
- 1:06:52the past two years, like the 16 game one and then they went on
- 1:06:55like another like that got broken because they had to do
- 1:06:59like a double Heather in one day.
- 1:07:00But then they went on like a like as like 8 or 9 winning
- 1:07:03game-winning streak. I mean, early in the season,
- 1:07:06this team looked like they were dead in the water.
- 1:07:08I think at one point they were dead last in the AL like early
- 1:07:11on. And I mean, they've just really
- 1:07:13heated up. They found the rhythm.
- 1:07:18Can't forget. About the.
- 1:07:19Trades too, yeah, if you asked me in June if this team was a
- 1:07:23playoff team, all that told you, no way.
- 1:07:25But here they are. They've gotten.
- 1:07:29I mean, they just, they found the great rhythm, so.
- 1:07:32There's FATAL when you trade for guys like Adly Rushman, yeah, at
- 1:07:36the deadline and you just get guys that are just record
- 1:07:40changing players. You know it's been.
- 1:07:43So sick for them. They got rid of dead weight when
- 1:07:47they moved on from, I forget who it was, their first baseman last
- 1:07:54season, he said. He didn't want to play first
- 1:07:56base for them and the second that they traded him to another
- 1:07:59team, he's like, I'll do whatever we have to do to win.
- 1:08:01Like they got, they got through the the bumpy waters, man.
- 1:08:05They got through the waves, survived it.
- 1:08:07Now they're now they're back. They just got to keep on
- 1:08:10fighting. Yeah.
- 1:08:12And like guys like Contreras, Jared Duran, Jared Duran have
- 1:08:18been killed Durbin evenly. A lot of those guys have just
- 1:08:24been playing out of their minds. So like I think if this team
- 1:08:29like again, if they just hit like they just be hitting these
- 1:08:34random like streaks where they're really locked in there,
- 1:08:37they're playing and they play really high level baseball.
- 1:08:40Like I wouldn't be surprised if they get like super hot again
- 1:08:44and just go on a crazy run and shock a lot of people in the
- 1:08:48postseason. But that would be that's a
- 1:08:50sleeper out of the aisle. That's why we call him a
- 1:08:52sleeper. You.
- 1:08:53Know, I like it. I like it.
- 1:08:56All right. Well, I think we'll we'll wrap
- 1:09:00up our our MLB coverage there. Joel, why don't we go on a
- 1:09:04quick, just a little commercial break.
- 1:09:06We'll we'll do some show commercials.

- 1:10:45a talk about because Michigan got bailed.
- 1:10:49Why? Why are we storming the field
- 1:10:50where you're playing against the freaking school for the blind?
- 1:10:53What are you guys doing? The Bale Mary, what are you
- 1:10:55doing? The Bale Mary will go down in
- 1:10:57history as one of the worst calls ever.
- 1:11:00And we also got to talk about Rutgers.
- 1:11:02What a disgrace to the Big 10. Oh, my goodness.
- 1:11:05Then in Michigan, really bringing a lot of disgrace to
- 1:11:08what is overall a fantastic Football Conference.
- 1:11:11But we'll get to them. We'll be.
- 1:11:12Storm in the field, playing against the school of the.
- 1:11:14Blind I'm not gonna come on like I'm not gonna take Western
- 1:11:17Michigan disrespect. They were they're an elite Mac
- 1:11:20team. They're they're really good.
- 1:11:22OK, that's. Saint Mary's School of the
- 1:11:25Blind. They're no, do not.
- 1:11:27I'm not gonna. I won't hear it.
- 1:11:28All right. Western Michigan is a good.
- 1:11:31They're a good group of 16. They're a really good team.
- 1:11:35Do not disrespect them. I'm getting.
- 1:11:38Shout out to the Broncos man. The Western Michigan maybe only
- 1:11:42only proud team Rep in brown and yellow, Yeah.
- 1:11:45They wear it well, They wear it well, I'll give you that.
- 1:11:48All right, so Thursday night, couple of top 25 teams in
- 1:11:53action. Utah just eviscerated Idaho.
- 1:11:56I think they ran for like 600 or not 364 yards and four
- 1:12:03touchdowns, 66 to, excuse me, 66 to 14.
- 1:12:08Should have played this in. I don't know, that would have
- 1:12:10been cool to watch the the Alamodo.
- 1:12:13But now they wanted to. Well, you thought about going to
- 1:12:16Idaho. Then you have Missouri playing
- 1:12:19Arkansas, Pine Bluff also on Thursday night, Austin Simmons,
- 1:12:23you see, I know you see a stat line there, 17 to 19252 yards, 4
- 1:12:27touchdowns. Did all of that in the first
- 1:12:30half. Yeah. 50 for the 14 win for the
- 1:12:34Tigers. I haven't heard anything on the
- 1:12:36Simmons kid. He was he played last year, he
- 1:12:40got replaced by Chambliss because he was that old miss and
- 1:12:43he got hurt. Oh, you're right.
- 1:12:45And then Chambliss came in and just poured it up and.
- 1:12:48Said. He just had to ride the bench.
- 1:12:51He still in the SEC. Yeah, he tranced.
- 1:12:54I mean, like with how Trinidad played last year, I mean, you
- 1:12:56just can't not go with him, especially if he's coming back.
- 1:12:59But yeah, you Simmons, he, he's going to this Missouri team
- 1:13:06could surprise the people in the SEC Friday night some more top
- 1:13:1125 action going on Miami. We got to see Darian Mensa in
- 1:13:15action against Stanford, him and Malachi.
- 1:13:18Tony did not disappoint. Mensa only three incompletions,
- 1:13:23401 yards and five touchdowns. More touchdowns, then
- 1:13:28incompletions. He was 27 to 30, absolutely
- 1:13:33dialed in. And then Malachi, Tony, his
- 1:13:36Heisman stock has shot through the roof.
- 1:13:39He had 12 receptions for 234 yards and three touchdowns.
- 1:13:45Miami routing Stanford 45 to 6. That's like they didn't just do
- 1:13:50this against like some, you know, FCS school.
- 1:13:53I mean, like, it's Stanford, I'll give you that.
- 1:13:55But Stanford's still a power conference team, and they just
- 1:14:01destroyed them. I mean, they did whatever they
- 1:14:03wanted. Tony literally scored the
- 1:14:05touchdown twice on one of his. The catch?
- 1:14:09Catch in the end zone, Juked out the end zone and just hopped
- 1:14:12right back in. He was like a Bunny.
- 1:14:14He's like a jackrabbit. And he made two defenders just
- 1:14:16run into each other and they scored again, like other
- 1:14:20disrespect. We got to give.
- 1:14:22We got to give Sarkeesian some props on his portal work because
- 1:14:27he's one of the he. He's not that.
- 1:14:30He just goes and gets the best talent like Mensa, one of the
- 1:14:33best available. He went out and got a guy like
- 1:14:36Cam Ward. You're thinking that
- 1:14:39Sarkeesian's the Texas coach. What is?
- 1:14:41Oh yeah, you're right. But no, I know Rick, why am I?
- 1:14:45I'm now. We got to give some props to
- 1:14:46him, the head coach of Miami. Miami's head coach's name.
- 1:14:50They've lost, yes, they've lost some big moments, but they're
- 1:14:53recruiting and their transfer portal moves have been huge.
- 1:14:58Is it? Hold on.
- 1:15:02This is this is going to bother me.
- 1:15:04I need, I need to know. I cannot.
- 1:15:07I can't remember his his name. Who who you who who who are you
- 1:15:11trying to I'm? Not.
- 1:15:14Are you trying to remember what's?
- 1:15:15The Miami Hurricanes has coach Mario.
- 1:15:17Cristobal. Yeah, we got to give Mario
- 1:15:20Cristobal a needs props on his Portal game.
- 1:15:22I wanted to say Mario Chalmers. I know that's.
- 1:15:27Close enough. That's close enough.
- 1:15:28OK. There we go.
- 1:15:31See, I know Ball. I just I was thinking of a
- 1:15:33different ball player. Yeah, Mario well and also yeah,
- 1:15:37like he always get like no matter like how good or bad in
- 1:15:41Miami is. Like when Chris Ball has been
- 1:15:42there like and just as his in his career as a coach, he really
- 1:15:46gets his teams prepared for big games.
- 1:15:48Like they don't like they don't go into a big game.
- 1:15:52Unprepared. Yeah, like.
- 1:15:54It's always a good game at least.
- 1:15:55Even when they lose, it's like, I mean, they they were in it,
- 1:15:58you know. Yeah, just one or two things
- 1:16:00then go their way like it's ever like they just go and get
- 1:16:02embarrassed in the in the big moment.
- 1:16:04All right back to breaking down our top 25 report.
- 1:16:08We got Oklahoma. There's we're still on Friday
- 1:16:12just destroying UTEP 51 to 0. The surprise there, Jacob
- 1:16:17material back for another year and.
- 1:16:21John, his boy. John Matthew, not Jacob, he has
- 1:16:23his dual thread ability is going to be he didn't even really run
- 1:16:26the ball that much with the 225 three touchdowns.
- 1:16:32Yeah, no, I think Oklahoma going to be a fun team to watch this
- 1:16:37season as well. We're all Sooners fans next
- 1:16:40week. We'll explain why.
- 1:16:43Then USC actually playing their second game of the season and
- 1:16:48they shut out. If Fresno stay 39 to nothing.
- 1:16:52They got 2 safeties in this game.
- 1:16:54Like how often do you see like a safety is rare enough to get a
- 1:16:58safety twice is is crazy. It's like you're playing on.
- 1:17:01Rookie mode again. Jaden Myalva locked IN23253493
- 1:17:07touchdowns. Another game where yeah, more,
- 1:17:10more, more touchdowns and then completions.
- 1:17:13That's my Heisman favorite. I know he's on a lot of people's
- 1:17:18Heisman favorites, but I think USC, they were one of the best.
- 1:17:22I think they were the best offense in the country last
- 1:17:24year. They're going to be top five
- 1:17:26again in my opinion. I think the defense has been
- 1:17:29improved. They'll be a big threat in the
- 1:17:31Big 10 and I think my Alva wins the Heisman and then ends up on
- 1:17:36the New York Jets. The Jets, They say the third
- 1:17:39time is a charm on USC quarterbacks.
- 1:17:42You know, that's The funny thing.
- 1:17:45Is this QB class is really at least just from these few weeks
- 1:17:50of the season and from last season, this QB class and the
- 1:17:53next, is it be pretty freaking solid, dude.
- 1:17:56Dante Moore, Julian Sane, Jaden Mayava, and then we got Arch
- 1:18:02Manning in there. Trinidad, Chambliss.
- 1:18:04Trinidad, Lenore. Seller John Matir's going to be
- 1:18:07ready to go. Mensa, Darian Mensa.
- 1:18:09Yeah, we were just talking about Mensa.
- 1:18:11Maybe John Stockton, Josh. Yeah, there's going to Sam
- 1:18:17Levitt potentially. Yeah, there's going to be a lot
- 1:18:19of there could be a lot of talent.
- 1:18:21All right, now we get to the Saturday games.
- 1:18:23Ohio State, number one team in the country, eviscerating Ball
- 1:18:28State 56 to 3. Julian Sam, as we just
- 1:18:30mentioned, 21 to 25323 touchdowns.
- 1:18:34Jeremiah Smith, a Heisman hopeful, 8 grabs for 151 yards
- 1:18:39and two touchdowns. Yeah, I think he wants the
- 1:18:41Heisman. He he's definitely hungry for
- 1:18:43it. Dominated him and he's only 19.
- 1:18:46Holy crap. Oregon got into a bit of a dog
- 1:18:50fight with Boise State. I know there's some doubts cast
- 1:18:55on Oregon. Definitely I will say, I mean,
- 1:18:57like they're playing like a top five group of 16.
- 1:19:01Boise State's going to be a problem in the big in the PAC
- 1:19:0612. They could be in playoff
- 1:19:08contention. I mean, even though this is a
- 1:19:10loss to them, this this just helps them in the overall when
- 1:19:14it when it comes down to the end of the year, maybe making one of
- 1:19:17those group of 6 bids to go into oxen and only lose by 7 points.
- 1:19:22Oregon escapes 34 to 27. Dante Moore did have a good
- 1:19:26game. He threw for 378 and 3
- 1:19:28touchdowns, but there were some points in this game where he was
- 1:19:31bad like and he just he missed some just some uncharacteristic
- 1:19:36open throws from him. So there's a lot Oregon needs to
- 1:19:41tighten up, but they got out of there with the victory.
- 1:19:44I will give them like they did, even though it's not like a,
- 1:19:48it's still a group of 16. It's a really good team.
- 1:19:51So I'll give them the benefit of the doubt there.
- 1:19:52Boise State's done this to teams in the past too.
- 1:19:56Like they they, they're kind of the the power conference killer.
- 1:20:00They've they've taken down teams.
- 1:20:01Before you can't sleep on them. It's not.
- 1:20:03It's not the Ashton Gente Boise State Broncos, but they still
- 1:20:07have the same QB they got Maddox Madison still they still they're
- 1:20:12a veteran team in the Mountain West now that's been building
- 1:20:17ever since the transfer portal has been available is really
- 1:20:20when we saw Boise start to flourish again the the 12 team
- 1:20:24playoff and the transfer portal is making them a better team
- 1:20:28like them. They were just in the playoffs
- 1:20:30when they had Ashton Gente 2 years ago.
- 1:20:34This team is really not that much different from them from
- 1:20:36two years ago other than the fact that Ashton Gente was a
- 1:20:39first round draft pick the very next year.
- 1:20:41Like not that much has changed with the roster.
- 1:20:44Still a good team. Absolutely, absolutely.
- 1:20:48It could be a playoff team again this year like so I don't think
- 1:20:51it's we need to panic as much with organ necessarily.
- 1:20:55They just, you know, it was also the first game of the season.
- 1:20:58This is a win that you want. I'd say you played a good team
- 1:21:01early. Yeah, your defense might have
- 1:21:04allowed a lot of points at home. It tested you early.
- 1:21:06That's yeah, you get an early test.
- 1:21:08You know, and it could be a good thing, a, a blessing for them
- 1:21:13because like, OK, well, we didn't, we, we were lucky to get
- 1:21:16out of there with the win, but we didn't necessarily play to
- 1:21:18our standard. And then when you get into some
- 1:21:20of those tougher matches in the season, you know.
- 1:21:22It's like the same team it was two years ago.
- 1:21:24It'll be like not even that much different over Boise team.
- 1:21:28You've got, we're going to move on to the next one.
- 1:21:31We got Georgia the number. You know, and the only reason
- 1:21:34why I'm bringing it up is because you guys are talking
- 1:21:36about college football. Earlier yesterday, Victoria
- 1:21:40Lombardi did a a reel real quick for his station.
- 1:21:44Yeah. And did you see it?
- 1:21:46Did you see it? I mean, it, it, it was, it was
- 1:21:48pretty good. He was explaining to them that
- 1:21:51like the NFL is totally different than college.
- 1:21:54College they could be shitty one year and then the next year they
- 1:21:58could be championship caliber team.
- 1:22:01It depends on your recruiting class and just what guys you
- 1:22:04have. Right.
- 1:22:05And Victoria Lombardi said. You know, now it's hard to rank
- 1:22:11these colleges based on all the stuff because it's a new team
- 1:22:16compared to last year. I just wanted to bring that up
- 1:22:19and, and, and get some feedback from you guys.
- 1:22:22I agree some teams stay the same, some some teams completely
- 1:22:27flip their entire identity and you can do it now.
- 1:22:31They basically have a free agency period.
- 1:22:35That's the transfer portal. And you, it opens up before the
- 1:22:40season's even over. You could still be in the
- 1:22:43playoffs and be a playoff contending team and have half
- 1:22:47your roster hit the transfer portal.
- 1:22:50You know, like, hey, coach, when the season's over, thanks for
- 1:22:53everything. I'm out.
- 1:22:54Gone. I'm gone.
- 1:22:55I'm going to go to a conference rival and a school, a school
- 1:23:00rival because they're paying me 6 million in NIL deal.
- 1:23:03Yeah. It's a wild, it's it's just a
- 1:23:07wild landscape these days. The number three team in the
- 1:23:10country, Georgia, handled their match up against Tennessee State
- 1:23:1563 to three. Yeah, no surprise there.
- 1:23:18It's a Kirby Smart team. They look disciplined.
- 1:23:21The offense ran the ball really well, got Nick Frazier, had
- 1:23:24three touchdowns. The defense was dominant.
- 1:23:28That defensive line is going to be great.
- 1:23:29Again, probably going to win the SEC.
- 1:23:31They're not my national championship favorite.
- 1:23:33My there's a different SEC that's.
- 1:23:35My I have a question. With your hand up.
- 1:23:38Yes, you in the back. Yes, yes.
- 1:23:40So talking about I guess it was the Ohio Buckeyes against was
- 1:23:46the LSU this weekend. Clemson played.
- 1:23:49On Clemson, the the the the team that rushed onto the field after
- 1:23:55the win, some people are calling that like a a clown move, some
- 1:24:00people or. So you're thinking of the
- 1:24:02Michigan playing Western Michigan.
- 1:24:05Michigan. Yeah, Michigan played Western
- 1:24:07Michigan. Yeah, they stormed the field
- 1:24:08after they got a bailed, bailed out in an extra second to
- 1:24:12attempt another Hail Mary, and then converted that Hail Mary.
- 1:24:15OK, Yeah, talk about that. Not fully yet.
- 1:24:19We kind of established with side Ron.
- 1:24:21HG is kind of on. I'm on the side of why you store
- 1:24:24them in the field. HG is like, hey, don't sleep on
- 1:24:28Western Michigan. Yeah.
- 1:24:30I mean, I think Western Michigan still shouldn't be.
- 1:24:34Why so many people hate them? They shouldn't because they
- 1:24:36swore in the field. Because why you're playing
- 1:24:38against the school of the blind, why you storm in the field,
- 1:24:41you're freaking Michigan. They're.
- 1:24:43Not the school of the blind, but again, they still they still
- 1:24:46probably shouldn't beat. Them OH isn't really a school of
- 1:24:48the blind. I know, I was kidding.
- 1:24:51They're. Listening to be out of blind
- 1:24:53football team Western. Michigan is the best team in the
- 1:24:55Mac. They are the best Mac team.
- 1:24:58They won 10 games last year and they're relatively still the
- 1:25:02same team. They're gonna win.
- 1:25:03Blind. No, they're not okay.
- 1:25:06So it's the third game, yes. Nobody's blind.
- 1:25:10You shouldn't have nobody's deal.
- 1:25:11Because you were a 27 1/2 point home favorite, you should have
- 1:25:15won that game by three touchdowns and it took literally
- 1:25:19the most. Better win is a win.
- 1:25:21That's what David Brockham fans say.
- 1:25:23It took the most corrupt. This isn't the NFL.
- 1:25:26OK, there are there are tears. There are tears to global and
- 1:25:30program. There's levels.
- 1:25:32When you like I, I love a little matching, but a Big 10 school,
- 1:25:36especially one like Michigan, should not be losing to a Mac
- 1:25:40school. And they they essentially did
- 1:25:45they. Got pretty they pretty much they
- 1:25:46got. Bailed out They should.
- 1:25:48That's nothing to storm the field about.
- 1:25:52OK. Don't.
- 1:25:54This is clipping. You got to clip this.
- 1:25:56Far stop disrespecting Western Michigan.
- 1:25:58They are a dog in the Mac. OK, they're winning the Mac.
- 1:26:03They're going to win like 10 games again, OK.
- 1:26:05I'm going, I'm going 11 and 2. Yeah, they Is there any other
- 1:26:10NFL team that says hey, wins win every NFL?
- 1:26:15Team Yeah, Everyone. Everyone.
- 1:26:17There's also reason it's called Any Given Sunday, because it
- 1:26:19doesn't matter. You could be.
- 1:26:21It doesn't matter how terrible the team's been all year and how
- 1:26:24good the team's been all year. They could.
- 1:26:26It's not that surprising if they lose because everyone's a
- 1:26:30professional, everyone's good. There's they're all good enough
- 1:26:34to make it to the NFL. There's levels to it, though.
- 1:26:36In college, it's a little different.
- 1:26:40Oh man. You are here.
- 1:26:41Thank you. Thank you.
- 1:26:43For the I'm a pop up blood vessel.
- 1:26:46Thank you for the education. Stop disrespect.
- 1:26:49In Western Michigan, OK, back to Texas team I think could win the
- 1:26:55national championship. They're they're the team I'm
- 1:26:58riding on actually. Arch Manning looked good, 305
- 1:27:02yards, 4 touchdowns. Ryan Wingo with 67 grabs for
- 1:27:051/21 and a touch. They just blow the brakes off of
- 1:27:08Texas State, a new PAC 12 team, 59 to 7.
- 1:27:14Indiana taking on North Texas. Overall looked really good.
- 1:27:19That Kirk Signetti team, Josh Hoover, he threw for four
- 1:27:24touchdowns, only had three incompletions.
- 1:27:26I got to give North Texas some credit, but you lost your coach,
- 1:27:29you lost your quarterback, you lost your best wide receiver.
- 1:27:32There were a lot. There were some points in this
- 1:27:34game, they ultimately ended up losing 50 to the 16.
- 1:27:37But there were some points in this game where that offense was
- 1:27:39really giving the Indiana defense some problems.
- 1:27:42So North Texas, a team that we thought was going to take a step
- 1:27:45back because of all the people they lost in the transfer portal
- 1:27:49that followed their coach to Oklahoma State.
- 1:27:52But I don't know the culture they're still getting like they
- 1:27:58were you going to probably upset Indiana now?
- 1:28:01But I mean, they gave them some problems at points.
- 1:28:03There was some, there's some really great flashes there that
- 1:28:06when you get into more Group of 6 play and conference play in
- 1:28:10the American that you can build on and and potentially be a team
- 1:28:16in the in the conversation for the American Championship.
- 1:28:23There was some points in this game where it was pretty close.
- 1:28:26You can see in the box score, Indiana had a 21 point fourth
- 1:28:30quarter that really took away the lead.
- 1:28:34But like you were saying, North Texas offense was kind of
- 1:28:36flowing for a bit. There they were.
- 1:28:38They had some pressure on Josh Hoover as well.
- 1:28:41He took a shot, it got a huge cut right across the bridge, was
- 1:28:46nose bleeding all across his face before halftime.
- 1:28:50I mean they they had some positive moments still in this
- 1:28:53game even though they lost by a certain amount.
- 1:28:56I'm not panicking on Indiana cuz like there were some points
- 1:28:58where they didn't look super great, but you don't really have
- 1:29:01a preseason. So they could have just been,
- 1:29:03you know, those first get first game problems and the, you know,
- 1:29:07some things that you still need to work out that you just you
- 1:29:09can't practice when you don't have like a real game speed.
- 1:29:13But ultimately, at the end of the day, they showed that like
- 1:29:15the discipline of a Cignetti team and like the like the
- 1:29:18toughness of the player. Hoover bleeding down his face,
- 1:29:21throwing the strike to Charlie back and back, took a huge shot,
- 1:29:25held onto the ball for a touchdown.
- 1:29:27But they're like a lot of those moments where it's just like the
- 1:29:30toughness, the discipline and the desire, the wins for that
- 1:29:33Indian team. So they'll still be a problem.
- 1:29:37Ultimately, they did take over this game and and when it
- 1:29:40handily. You described exactly what they
- 1:29:42were. They're they're signetti team.
- 1:29:46Keeping them we'll keep moving here.
- 1:29:47Texas and them shut out Missouri State 50 to nothing.
- 1:29:53We'll see I don't know I'm still I'm still not sure how I feel
- 1:29:58about Texas A&M this year. I really need they their
- 1:30:01schedule ended up kind of being easier than one of the easier
- 1:30:05SEC teams, so I'm not. We'll see how they look when
- 1:30:10they get into SEC play. But yeah, 50 to nothing wins.
- 1:30:12Still 50 to nothing win. LSU beat the brakes off of
- 1:30:16Clemson. I thought Clemson was going to
- 1:30:19be a little bit better this year, but I don't.
- 1:30:21I guess not. People, I mean, if there was a
- 1:30:24game for Clemson to come and show that they were a different
- 1:30:28team, this was it. You go to Death Valley and you
- 1:30:32get a dub on a new coach, a controversial head coach,
- 1:30:36controversial team. There's already a pretty big
- 1:30:40rivalry between these two schools.
- 1:30:43The ex NFL guys going lot of questions on Sam Levitt.
- 1:30:48I mean, people saying that he came into LSU not having a lot
- 1:30:53of tape. It's absolutely crazy to me.
- 1:30:56I mean, the guy had one he had a first round pick wide receiver,
- 1:31:00obviously in a in an NFL running back on his team in Arizona
- 1:31:04State. How's how's going to LSU where
- 1:31:07there can they have enough money to fill you up with talent at
- 1:31:10every single position? I mean, the the tigers got a 67
- 1:31:14tight end. The guy's a freak, like they
- 1:31:17have a trade as Green is an athletic monster.
- 1:31:21Winston Watkins, guy that you just clicked on his, He was a
- 1:31:24beast in this game, Yeah. 7 grabs for 110 yards and a
- 1:31:29touchdown. Levitt I mean, this guy took a
- 1:31:32the Arizona State into the College Football Playoff and.
- 1:31:37His his running game alone against Texas in the College
- 1:31:41Football Playoffs gave him a huge run for their money, Yeah.
- 1:31:44We'll never forget that ASU run man.
- 1:31:46They were, they were special. Dude.
- 1:31:50His dual thread abilities just absolutely insane.
- 1:31:52He threw for 230 yards in the touchdown he had.
- 1:31:55He had that early interception where it was like, Oh well.
- 1:31:58Did you see that pick though? The wide receiver dropped the
- 1:32:01ball in a slant and oh, it's just a give me a birthday
- 1:32:06present for the DB right there. Maybe you could have put a
- 1:32:09little bit more on his receiver, but I mean that's still, I mean
- 1:32:13you should catch that. Yeah, it was right.
- 1:32:15It was right in his. Hands on 12 attempts he ran for
- 1:32:18113 yards and two touchdowns. LSU as a team ran for 309 yards
- 1:32:24and four touchdowns. Dylan Jones also had $1.13 on
- 1:32:27the ground and two touchdowns on 23 attempts.
- 1:32:31Yeah, I'd say LSU is going to be pretty good wit weeks.
- 1:32:36I'm saying that they are. Defensive Player of the Year
- 1:32:38Potential Yeah 1 1/2. I'm thinking that LSU Tigers win
- 1:32:44out in the SEC. Wouldn't it shock me at all the
- 1:32:48SEC needed another team to kind of jump up and and be like a
- 1:32:53national title contender? They absolutely looked the part.
- 1:32:57They looked like a College Football Playoff team.
- 1:32:59And that's kind of that's got to be the expectation with all this
- 1:33:02drama all around Kiffin coming there.
- 1:33:04Like you got to kind of you got to show out.
- 1:33:07You got to make it to the College Football Playoff.
- 1:33:10But yeah, they were living in the backfield. 4 sacks, 1010 1/2
- 1:33:14tackles for a loss. Like it was just.
- 1:33:17Clemson had to go to their backup QB in this one.
- 1:33:21Christopher Vezina started. He only had one start last year
- 1:33:26when Klubnik went down for only only one game.
- 1:33:30He got the start and I mean, is that going to be your option
- 1:33:36moving forward? In 10 for 16, didn't even break
- 1:33:40100 yards. I got to say the coaches on the
- 1:33:44hot seat that Dabo Sweeney. That was.
- 1:33:48All I got to be looking at, man. One of my predictions early in
- 1:33:51the season, just because my brother is a Clemson Tigers fan,
- 1:33:54I wanted to troll him a little bit.
- 1:33:56I saw that the Boer is going to get fired mid season.
- 1:33:59If it keeps on going like this. He might be gone before him.
- 1:34:04That he might be gone like week 3.
- 1:34:06LSE, the dominant 51 to 10 victory.
- 1:34:10They're going to be a yeah, they look like they're going to be a
- 1:34:12problem. We got Texas Tech.
- 1:34:17What's going on here? You did they?
- 1:34:18Struggled against Abilene Christian.
- 1:34:20This is the school of the blind, and they did not beat them by
- 1:34:24enough points. They're only a 33 to 10 victory.
- 1:34:28Kind of expect like to just eviscerate this team.
- 1:34:32They threw a pick against them. Yeah.
- 1:34:34No dude, I. I just think I don't, I'm not as
- 1:34:38high in Texas Tech. I know they have a ton of money
- 1:34:41and yeah, they they reloaded a bunch of talent, but I just
- 1:34:45think the whole Brendan Sorsby thing threw a wrench into their
- 1:34:49plan. Will Hammond was was good
- 1:34:52overall, but I think that was that was a big and then they got
- 1:34:59into the legal dispute. They were suing to try to get
- 1:35:02them back in here. I think that was just a big
- 1:35:06distraction that really made it difficult for this team to
- 1:35:09prepare and look and it showed they just did not look sharp
- 1:35:13week 1. I mean, this was it wasn't the
- 1:35:16usual like, ah, there was some operational things where it's
- 1:35:19like you just when you don't have a preseason to practice is
- 1:35:21like now they just like there were some moments where they
- 1:35:24just look straight up like bad and like if you're like looking
- 1:35:29bad against Abilene Christian. That's not OK.
- 1:35:32When you get in the Big 12 play, Utah looks really good this
- 1:35:35year. BYU is going to be really good
- 1:35:37this year. Houston should be really good
- 1:35:39this year. Remember, we looked at their
- 1:35:41schedule. Their hardest their hardest game
- 1:35:44this year is Houston for Texas Tech.
- 1:35:47They're just they're. That's their.
- 1:35:49Best. But they they got the benefit of
- 1:35:52not having super. Difficult at Colorado trap game,
- 1:35:56could be Yeah, trap game. Colorado, Colorado can run the
- 1:35:59ball with the success that they had and maybe just Julian Lewis
- 1:36:02pass it a little bit better that.
- 1:36:05Their toughest game on schedules is right now is ranked 22
- 1:36:09Houston, and that's only because they have the ranking next to
- 1:36:12their their name. So a lot of questions around
- 1:36:16Texas Tech, not the not as dominant as the wins you would
- 1:36:19expect. Alabama, plenty of domination,
- 1:36:23dominance here. Keelan Russell getting his first
- 1:36:25start, He's 256. Had a Russian touchdown on 86
- 1:36:31yards rushing. Yeah.
- 1:36:33I mean, Bama just cruised through this one.
- 1:36:35They have a couple of defensive score as well, 48 to 10 there.
- 1:36:39Yeah, I think. Maybe.
- 1:36:42It was against Eastern Carolina, so I'm not still not sure what
- 1:36:46my verdict is on Alabama. I want to see them.
- 1:36:49They play Kentucky next week. Kentucky looked a lot better.
- 1:36:52So we'll see how they look in that game before I really have a
- 1:36:58a verdict on them. A BYUA lot of return and talent.
- 1:37:01Bear bar Brockmeyer back there as well.
- 1:37:04He threw for three touchdowns. They ran, I think they ran all
- 1:37:08over Utah Tech, though. Yeah, 308 rushing yards on 46
- 1:37:12attempts and five touchdowns. It's that same Smash Mouth BYU
- 1:37:17football. They want to beat you in the
- 1:37:18trenches. You got another Taysom Hill on
- 1:37:21your hands with this Bachmire dude.
- 1:37:23I really do, because it's like another Taysom Hill with just a
- 1:37:28little bit more arm talent because he's slinging it like
- 1:37:32Taysom Hill. You could kind of tell with the
- 1:37:34arm strength issues in college. But he's got the arm, he's got
- 1:37:39the velocity, got the dual thread ability.
- 1:37:43It's really, it's like Taysom Hill two point O yeah.
- 1:37:46And. BYU I, I think they win the Big
- 1:37:5012 this year. Really good team.
- 1:37:54They got a great defense. They run the ball super well.
- 1:37:57Bachmeier is a talented quarterback.
- 1:38:01The born in church literally intervened and to keep make sure
- 1:38:04their coach stayed at the school and then go to Penn State.
- 1:38:07So like they're, they're all in they they're going to be a
- 1:38:10playoff team. They're going to win the Big 12.
- 1:38:12I think they're, they got the most, they've been the most
- 1:38:16consistent over the past few years aside from like Texas
- 1:38:19Tech, who's got all their these offseason problems.
- 1:38:22BYU didn't have that just a little.
- 1:38:24I mean, there was like, oh, maybe our coach is going to
- 1:38:26leave. And then the crumble cookie CEO,
- 1:38:30some supplement company CEO, and the freaking Mormon church were
- 1:38:33like big dog. Hold on.
- 1:38:35Stay in Utah. Hold on.
- 1:38:37They get a dominant 63 the seven wing over Utah Tech.
- 1:38:41Because when this, when the sports teams are good, you got
- 1:38:45to think about how much money that they're also going to be
- 1:38:48getting back. Like it these big companies are
- 1:38:51not just some alumni donor that wants his old favorite team to
- 1:38:55be good. It's it's like they're getting
- 1:38:59they're getting millions. Yeah.
- 1:39:03All right. I think we've we've talked about
- 1:39:05it enough at nauseam, like Michigan did not deserve to be
- 1:39:08Western Michigan, but they did. They're 1313 to 12.
- 1:39:13What What? We're going to just keep it
- 1:39:15moving. The Matt Campbell.
- 1:39:17We'll get back to that game. The Matt Campbell, I just I
- 1:39:20don't know if I got anything else to say.
- 1:39:21Like I mean, Western Michigan good back team still probably
- 1:39:26shouldn't have gone in there and won if Michigan was actually
- 1:39:30deserving of a top 25 ranking. But.
- 1:39:34I guess we should. They they played that game.
- 1:39:36If anyone doesn't know the situation, I guess the last
- 1:39:39thing we could do is just break down what happened there.
- 1:39:43The final seconds of the game, Michigan has A1 possession, lead
- 1:39:4912 to six. In a very defensive and really
- 1:39:53methodical game that Michigan got, they got smacked in the
- 1:39:56mouth. They weren't ready for it.
- 1:39:58They were down the whole game. They couldn't get a drive
- 1:40:00together. So punt after punt for both
- 1:40:03teams really. But Western Michigan had the
- 1:40:05lead. Final seconds on the clock,
- 1:40:07Bryce Underwood fires a Hail Mary pass.
- 1:40:12That's incomplete. You think the game's over?
- 1:40:15No, no. Michigan's sideline and their
- 1:40:19players are calling for an interference from the defense,
- 1:40:23saying that one of their players was out of bounds.
- 1:40:25The player that touched the ball to break up the pass was out of
- 1:40:28bounds, which obviously it is a penalty, but the clock had
- 1:40:34already struck 0 at this moment. The referees and officiating
- 1:40:38crew at this moment had decided that that would be awarded and
- 1:40:44more time would be added onto the clock for Michigan, giving
- 1:40:46them another chance at a Hail Mary.
- 1:40:49Bryce Underwood's able to drop back pass this time it's
- 1:40:53completed, and the game-winning Hail Mary pass is completed
- 1:40:58after what was an just a scandal here, really, it's become a
- 1:41:02scandal in sports in the last few days.
- 1:41:05Like the Big 10 says that they're the stadium clocks are
- 1:41:09synced with the broadcast clocks.
- 1:41:11I don't remember what the technology was called with their
- 1:41:14official statement. The ball was at 0 when it was
- 1:41:17like at its highest arc in the past from Bryce Underwood on the
- 1:41:21Hail Mary, like it was still flying in the air.
- 1:41:25What they're trying to say is that like the, the ball
- 1:41:27immediately comes dead when the player that was out of balance
- 1:41:30touches it. So they they said that he
- 1:41:33battered the pass with a second left on the clock.
- 1:41:36But I mean, from what we saw in the the the broadcast replay,
- 1:41:41the ball looked like it was still clearly in the air before
- 1:41:44he he hit Terry Mclaury, the rules analyst was like, not even
- 1:41:49he was like, I, I'm not really sure.
- 1:41:50Like he's like our clock should be the clocks that the big 10s
- 1:41:55working with should be synced with the broadcast clocks.
- 1:41:57Like what we are seeing on the broadcast should be pretty
- 1:42:01accurate. But they have that apparently
- 1:42:03there was that side by side of the stadium clock and when the
- 1:42:07thing was the ball was touched. I the whole thing just is
- 1:42:13doesn't feel feel shady feels like they're pulling things out
- 1:42:17of their ass with this. So I don't yeah, we're not a lot
- 1:42:22of people happy about it and rightfully so.
- 1:42:24That should have been a statement.
- 1:42:26And I mean, one of the biggest wins in Western Michigan program
- 1:42:29history and it. Got huge.
- 1:42:31And I think it's just like, you know, it's you're like, why
- 1:42:36didn't you just defend the Hail Mary again to give them their
- 1:42:39credit? I mean like the that emotional
- 1:42:41swing of going from thinking that you had won the game and
- 1:42:46you're you're celebrating to all of a sudden they.
- 1:42:49You're back on. The they're reversing it and you
- 1:42:51just don't like, you don't get a lot of time to prepare and get
- 1:42:55your Hail Mary defense ready again.
- 1:42:57It just, it's such a quick swing that I, I understand why it they
- 1:43:03they didn't defend it the second time.
- 1:43:05It's just, yeah, it's just a tough turn around to.
- 1:43:12And I don't think they got enough time to prepare for that
- 1:43:15second Hail Mary. So, yeah, absolutely, Rob.
- 1:43:19That's why we're all rooting for Oklahoma next week.
- 1:43:22Take, take against Michigan, destroy Michigan, please,
- 1:43:26Oklahoma, destroy him. All right, Penn State versus
- 1:43:31Marshall, first game of the Matt Campbell era is Rocco back?
- 1:43:36Follow them over from Iowa State, threw 4 touchdowns.
- 1:43:39They shut out the Thundering Herd 45 to nothing.
- 1:43:44Tennessee again, I think they're just, they're so overrated, but
- 1:43:49they're they're in the top 25 again.
- 1:43:51They beat Furman 56 to 9. I mean, we'll see when they play
- 1:43:55some actual competition how good they actually are.
- 1:43:58They're kind of in that situation like Missouri where
- 1:44:03once the conference play kind of starts, they don't really look
- 1:44:08all that great and they get put up into on the big stage because
- 1:44:13they have the opportunity they're in that they're in that
- 1:44:16big time conference. They just fall short.
- 1:44:21I really think Missouri has a chance to to prove some of that
- 1:44:24wrong this year, like we were saying earlier.
- 1:44:27The Iowa Hawkeyes shut out Northern Illinois Huskies 42
- 1:44:33zero. They gave up just a grand total
- 1:44:37of 7 rushing yards due to all the yardage lost on sacks.
- 1:44:42The Northern Illinois leading rusher had 16 total yards.
- 1:44:47So the defense, still pretty good for the Hawkeyes, shut out
- 1:44:54Kamari Moulton, ran for 183 yards and two touchdowns on just
- 1:44:5911 carries, which is kind of insane.
- 1:45:02All right, maybe Iowa has a receiver.
- 1:45:05Tony Di. Diaz I I'm just.
- 1:45:08Hawkeye fans are optimistic about this guy, and they're
- 1:45:10never optimistic about any of their offensive players.
- 1:45:13So there you go. Hank Brown had a good game.
- 1:45:18I mean, they were playing against, they're playing against
- 1:45:21Northern Illinois, but that's the Northern Illinois team that
- 1:45:25beat Notre Dame. Come on.
- 1:45:27Yeah. So Hawkeye, I mean, they're
- 1:45:31still going to be a defensive football team, but they might,
- 1:45:34maybe they'll be some offense in these games.
- 1:45:37But I wouldn't, I wouldn't hold your breath on that too much.
- 1:45:40Houston beating Houston beat Oregon State 33 to 20.
- 1:45:48I don't think this is a bad game out of Houston.
- 1:45:51I just think Oregon State's a much, much improved team from
- 1:45:55last year. So this is a good gutsy win.
- 1:45:58Early test for the Cougars I got.
- 1:46:01I think it's a good thing for them cuz were they favored by a
- 1:46:05little bit more? Sure.
- 1:46:06But like Oregon State I I'm blanking on the dude's name
- 1:46:10bring out They brought in the new head coach.
- 1:46:12They're in for 370, OK, They had 376 yards passing from Braden
- 1:46:18Atkinson. He was.
- 1:46:20He was slinging the rock. 26 rushing yards.
- 1:46:24Yeah, they only had 26 rushing yards, so he's did a great job
- 1:46:27of controlling the line of scrimmage in that sense.
- 1:46:29But the secondary didn't really play too well, obviously. 71
- 1:46:35yard touchdown that Jesse Lagree 5 catches 136.
- 1:46:41Gosh. But yeah, Connor Wayman, not the
- 1:46:45best game from him. So yeah, I think Guy.
- 1:46:50Hughes back, He was injured, Yeah, lost a fumble in it.
- 1:46:57I think like overall, like good win by Houston, They they
- 1:47:01really, you know, bat, they really toughened it up down the
- 1:47:05stretch. They played a lot, played some
- 1:47:07better defense there. That's crazy that he's still in
- 1:47:11college. He he was on Alabama,
- 1:47:14transferred to Tulane, was injured, and now he transferred
- 1:47:17over to Houston. It could be a sneaky running
- 1:47:20back over there. The big. 12 I think it was a a
- 1:47:24game where Houston kind of, they ran into a tougher opponent than
- 1:47:27they were maybe expecting. Oregon State I do think has been
- 1:47:31more improved and yeah, they they ultimately, they really had
- 1:47:35to to gut it out to get this win.
- 1:47:36But I think that's a good early season test for them.
- 1:47:39You know, it's a game you can look back on the big, you know
- 1:47:41what, I'm kind of glad we got into a dogfight here because
- 1:47:45this is still going to be a good team in the Big 12.
- 1:47:47So they just got they, they ran into, I think steeper
- 1:47:52competition than they were expecting.
- 1:47:54That's not a knock on Houston. I just think Oregon State's
- 1:47:56better than maybe a lot of people watch out.
- 1:47:58Yeah, watch out for Oregon State.
- 1:48:00Credit for him. Then we get to some Sunday
- 1:48:03games. Notre Dame smoked Wisconsin.
- 1:48:07It was close in the first half so.
- 1:48:10Wisconsin freaking blew it though.
- 1:48:12Their second-half possessions all were crap.
- 1:48:16Yeah, they just fell apart in the second-half.
- 1:48:18They threw a pick 6, which just, I mean, completely flipped the
- 1:48:22momentum of that game, and Notre Dame just took over.
- 1:48:25It all started in the second quarter.
- 1:48:27That's where they're they're late.
- 1:48:29They're like 2 minute drill possession in the second quarter
- 1:48:33was bad. They got the ball twice in the
- 1:48:36last five minutes of the second quarter.
- 1:48:38They could have taken the lead or tied the game and they were
- 1:48:41down 10 to 13 still. Yeah, 10 to 13.
- 1:48:45And they only scored three more points after that.
- 1:48:47So it was. It was ugly.
- 1:48:50We had the the battle for the Apple Cup, Washington versus
- 1:48:53Washington State. Huskies come out on top.
- 1:48:56And that one, they got a 24 to 10 victory.
- 1:49:01Yeah, well, they're the 17th ranked team in the country.
- 1:49:05Washington State I think also much improved.
- 1:49:07So this was a good against, you know, a bit you're in state
- 1:49:10rival to open the season, good early season test for the
- 1:49:15Huskies. But I think we have our
- 1:49:17absolutely 2 best games at least in the top 25 this week was
- 1:49:24Louisville old. It's our only top 25 match up.
- 1:49:28And then Florida State SMU was also a very good game.
- 1:49:32Well, where which one did we start with?
- 1:49:34Because I mean, these were both fantastic games.
- 1:49:36This Louisville mess game. Oh my God.
- 1:49:40The best one for me was Louisville, Ole Miss.
- 1:49:44Let's start there. This one, Louisville blew it and
- 1:49:47they got the lead late in the game.
- 1:49:50Left Ole Miss too much time on the clock though, and they got
- 1:49:54into field goal range. Their defense held up a bit on
- 1:49:57that final drive, but Trinidad, Chambliss and the rest of the
- 1:50:01guys just. That was.
- 1:50:03Got that distance they needed. They I think that they tied it
- 1:50:07up late a really good drive from link Lincoln King Holtz, who
- 1:50:11that was a big question mark for this Louisville team.
- 1:50:13You're like the rest of this team's got a ton of talent.
- 1:50:16I mean, K John Brown didn't have a great game, but like, you
- 1:50:18know, a lot of hope for him at the back.
- 1:50:20Guys like Trey Richardson, Trey Sean hurry, even Lil Wayne
- 1:50:26McCoy. It'll all be really good this
- 1:50:28year for him. But it was kind of like, you
- 1:50:31know, how is Lincoln King Holtz going to play?
- 1:50:32I think he really stepped up to it.
- 1:50:34He was their leading rusher with 69 yards.
- 1:50:36He threw for three O 7 was super was actually fairly accurate, 18
- 1:50:42and 29. So this is just it was a tough
- 1:50:46one. Jeff Gold Golding was just
- 1:50:50pissed at his his defense because they were getting beat
- 1:50:54on some big plays. I mean, there was some bad
- 1:50:57tackling in this one. Oh yeah.
- 1:51:02But Chambliss, end of the day, man, he just put the the
- 1:51:06superhero Cape on. He left that great drive.
- 1:51:09He threw for 336 and three touchdowns.
- 1:51:12He had 6 yards rushing for total touchdowns on the game.
- 1:51:16Duce Alexander, this guy's going to be sick. 5 craps 159, two
- 1:51:21touchdowns. A lot of big plays in this one.
- 1:51:24Let's see Trey Richardson 62 yard touchdown.
- 1:51:27You had the Wayne McCoy, the 54 yard touchdown, Deuce Alexander
- 1:51:3162 yard touchdown. I mean these Keith Holtz with a
- 1:51:3541 yard run. I mean people ripping off big
- 1:51:38plays left and right here. 41 to 30 year old miss got the win.
- 1:51:46Both of these teams deserved. I mean I think Louisville might
- 1:51:50drop out of the top 25 because the loss but they both deserved
- 1:51:53honestly the move up even though Louisville was a good loss.
- 1:51:56There's a good loss from Louisville, right?
- 1:51:58There best match up of the at the beginning of the season.
- 1:52:01So just some elite talent going back and forth.
- 1:52:04Prime time window on on Sunday. It was it was awesome.
- 1:52:09It was really awesome to watch. Good to see him get to play in
- 1:52:13that moment too. And.
- 1:52:14So, I mean, I still got Miami as the best team in the ACC, but
- 1:52:19after this, Louisville's the second best.
- 1:52:23Yeah, it's good. I was thinking this conference
- 1:52:25was going to be wide open for one of those top teams to take
- 1:52:28it like like Miami, just run away with the conference, but
- 1:52:34maybe some good ACC plays and be good.
- 1:52:37Hey SMU, it could be a bit of a problem there.
- 1:52:42They did not play a very good game though, but they this game
- 1:52:46got delayed an hour and 40 minutes against Florida State
- 1:52:48because of a trans trans. What's it called?
- 1:52:55Fuse something in the fuse box blue and.
- 1:52:58Oh, like the transformer? Transformer.
- 1:53:00That's the word. I didn't even know it got
- 1:53:02delayed. Oh yeah, it was.
- 1:53:05Kick off was an hour and 40 minutes late.
- 1:53:09Yeah, it was a weird game. LSU was also it was the
- 1:53:13lightning delay. Had that one like 2 1/2 hours.
- 1:53:16SMU, they turned the football over 4 times.
- 1:53:19Kelvin Jennings, well, he did throw for 430 yards and three
- 1:53:23touchdowns, also 2 interceptions.
- 1:53:27And then there, you know, there were some bad picks, like he
- 1:53:29kind of just like threw like a tuna melt up into like double
- 1:53:33coverage just down the field, like just trying to force it.
- 1:53:36Tuna melt. But then the other thing like
- 1:53:41for the state, especially in the second-half, could not throw the
- 1:53:44ball and they were O for 10 on 3rd down until they until they
- 1:53:49finally converted the first one. I mean, this was a game for the
- 1:53:55state. Like another guy who's going to
- 1:53:58be on the hot seats, Mike Norville, because you force all
- 1:54:00these turnovers and you just can't but you can't throw the
- 1:54:04football. You just you don't capitalize on
- 1:54:08these mistakes and a chance to really get a a big win against
- 1:54:12the ranked opponent on your home field.
- 1:54:15You blow that and end up losing by three points.
- 1:54:18Mustangs escaped, but they did not play very good.
- 1:54:25They couldn't really stop the run.
- 1:54:26I mean USA, USA man, Chroma was just running all over that team.
- 1:54:31But like I mentioned in the the second-half, like going into the
- 1:54:36fourth quarter, the Seminoles have attempted 21 runs and four
- 1:54:42passes and completed one of those.
- 1:54:46Yeah, this I think they completed 4/5 passes total in
- 1:54:51the second-half. Like it was bad.
- 1:54:52It was really bad. This is a time in the game where
- 1:54:55you got to have that ability to pass in certain scenarios.
- 1:55:00You have to have that ability. So SMU needs to clean up the
- 1:55:05turnovers and just be a little more sound operationally.
- 1:55:09So I mean, because like without all those turnovers, they
- 1:55:12probably beat for the state by 3/4 touchdown, something like
- 1:55:15that. Like they should have blown this
- 1:55:17team out of the water, but it was a three-point game because
- 1:55:22they kept, I mean, were like a muff punt was one of them.
- 1:55:25You got to look up before the state, What's his name?
- 1:55:29Johnson Lopez. But they're not Daniel Hughes.
- 1:55:34He does the the the tornado. It was that was what it just.
- 1:55:41Is a kind of one of those punts that like lands and bounces
- 1:55:43back. Now you gotta look it up because
- 1:55:45it looks like a Shank, but then it gets like a really good
- 1:55:48bounce and it but it bounces weird.
- 1:55:50So the guy tried to like pick it up off of the bounce and it just
- 1:55:54it like went off of his hands because he could it confused.
- 1:55:58It kind of came out of the confusing angle.
- 1:56:00He wasn't able to drop grab it and it just like flew off of him
- 1:56:05And then for the state recovered.
- 1:56:07OK, I'll have to check that. Out the for the state tornado
- 1:56:10punt. Yeah.
- 1:56:11Then he did it again. And the the the return man just
- 1:56:13saw it kind of he just walked to the sideline.
- 1:56:15He's like, I'm not even going near that.
- 1:56:18And like where they were able to down inside the 20s because it
- 1:56:23it looks like a Shank, but he's doing it intentionally.
- 1:56:26It's it's really interesting. That makes sense.
- 1:56:30It's kind of, it's like a little little bit of a fake.
- 1:56:32Yeah. All right, we'll get to the end
- 1:56:35of the show. Why don't we take a quick look
- 1:56:38at what's coming up next week, though?
- 1:56:41Any notable matchups? I mean, Miami's got a cupcake
- 1:56:44matchup. It's Florida.
- 1:56:45And them, Florida, Louisville, they got to keep their 24
- 1:56:49ranking. They didn't move down at all.
