Speaker 1: Two one. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome back to another episode,
0:06
Speaker 1: episode number fifty nine of the so called sports Chandelist. Josh,
0:09
Speaker 1: How you doing.
0:11
Speaker 2: You know, I'm doing pretty good besides the fact that
0:14
Speaker 2: our last pods audio was off so we couldn't create
0:17
Speaker 2: no more reels or TikTok TikTok's for this for that
0:20
Speaker 2: last podcast, and then I wasted three hours of my
0:24
Speaker 2: life watching the worst fantasy football draft of my entire existence,
0:31
Speaker 2: and that happened in Fonzo's backyard because we were gonna
0:33
Speaker 2: do some cool type of some cool like pod that
0:35
Speaker 2: we haven't done where we react to a fantasy football draft,
0:39
Speaker 2: and it didn't work out that way. So stay tuned
0:43
Speaker 2: for a hopefully a pod that works out a lot
0:45
Speaker 2: better where me and Funds were actually drafting in the draft. Well,
0:49
Speaker 2: and we'll review everyone else's picks also, so let's hope
0:52
Speaker 2: it's not as ass as that other one was.
0:56
Speaker 1: Hey, you're just calling that everybody to me?
0:59
Speaker 2: It was to be clear, to be clear.
1:01
Speaker 1: I was working. I was working. I wasn't in this draft.
1:04
Speaker 2: I was the guys, real quick, real quick. Let me
1:07
Speaker 2: let me just spring up some of these picks. I
1:09
Speaker 2: took notes on the pard like I was like so
1:11
Speaker 2: ready to talk about let me go to pull it up.
1:14
Speaker 1: Let's go. He has the receipts.
1:15
Speaker 2: He does have the receipts. Legion of Doom, Fantasy, no wonder.
1:19
Speaker 2: Fonso's dad wins that shit. Five have won that thing
1:22
Speaker 2: five times. Let's see. There has to be some wild pick. Okay,
1:28
Speaker 2: so Breese Hall fell to the seventeenth pick, let's just
1:31
Speaker 2: get that out there. That is crazy. I understand Travis
1:36
Speaker 2: Kelsey is my boy, but drafting him fourteenth overall this year,
1:39
Speaker 2: that's a little bit insane.
1:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of crazy.
1:43
Speaker 2: All right, let's let's look at this. There has to
1:45
Speaker 2: be oh oh, guys, Trey McBride was the sixth tight
1:49
Speaker 2: end taken in this draft. Just think about that. He's
1:52
Speaker 2: going as to possibly the tight end one and he's
1:54
Speaker 2: went tightened six in this draft. And then bro, there's
1:59
Speaker 2: this is where is it? When does it start getting interesting?
2:01
Speaker 2: This is when like Chris started getting this.
2:04
Speaker 1: When Tony Pollard he went like in the fourth round, right, yeah, bro?
2:09
Speaker 1: And like what wasn't a J Dillon drafted?
2:11
Speaker 2: Tyler Conklin got drafted in this draft? Guys in round
2:14
Speaker 2: nine Tyler Krocklin got drafted above Kyle Pitts. He got
2:19
Speaker 2: drafted above Tray McBride. Tyler Higbee got drafted in round ten.
2:24
Speaker 1: That's crazy, that's crazy.
2:28
Speaker 2: Let's see. Oh there was Patterson drafting in this one.
2:34
Speaker 2: I think. Let's see. No, I stopped taking notes, guys,
2:39
Speaker 2: there was a lot in here. If I could publish this,
2:41
Speaker 2: I would and be like, don't do this, don't do whatever.
2:44
Speaker 2: These guys.
2:45
Speaker 1: Let's let's just clap it up real quick. Just give
2:47
Speaker 1: him a quick clap clap, quick clap, clip clap.
2:50
Speaker 2: How you doing them? How you doing them?
2:54
Speaker 1: On the worst fucking draft ever. Okay, I'm sorry we're cussing.
2:58
Speaker 1: It's already five three minutes to the pod, but to be.
3:01
Speaker 2: Fair, this is a pretty late podcast, Like it's sorry
3:03
Speaker 2: about it. Yeah, you said we weren't gonna cuss anymore.
3:08
Speaker 2: We would do like a swear jar, but we're pretty broke,
3:10
Speaker 2: so we're not gonna do that. I just bought Becky
3:13
Speaker 2: g Oh, guys, clap it up. Clap it up, guys,
3:16
Speaker 2: clap it up. Yeah. You know how I shouted out
3:19
Speaker 2: my wife on the pod last week, Becky g. Well,
3:23
Speaker 2: she she heard the podcast, and she decided to come
3:26
Speaker 2: to have come to Middle in Texas and have a
3:29
Speaker 2: and have a concert just to see me. Guys. You know,
3:32
Speaker 2: it's it's just great to know that our popularity is
3:35
Speaker 2: getting out there to the stars of the world. And
3:37
Speaker 2: now my wife is coming to perform for West Texas
3:40
Speaker 2: and so I got tickets. I'm I'm gonna propose to
3:42
Speaker 2: her that night. I already made the decision.
3:45
Speaker 1: All right, I believe in you, Josh. I believed you.
3:48
Speaker 1: But let's go and get this pot cracking. So you guys,
3:52

3:55
Speaker 1: hundred and underscore fons of zero three. You could listen
3:58
Speaker 1: to us, So watch us under Twins YouTube, Instagram, Discord, TikTok,
4:03
Speaker 1: under tsc SA, ts CSA or the so called sports Tittleist.

Speaker 1: And whether you're listening to this live or another day,
4:11
Speaker 1: we appreciate it and make sure you share this to
4:14
Speaker 1: anybody that likes sports. But like we always do, Josh,
4:17
Speaker 1: before we get into our real topics, we're gonna start
4:20
Speaker 1: off with the news across the sports world. So first
4:24
Speaker 1: thing in news, including your chiefs Creed Humphrey four year,
4:28
Speaker 1: seventy two million, highest paid center in the league. So
4:32
Speaker 1: does he deserve this money right here?
4:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no, There's no question about it. The best
4:39
Speaker 2: center in the game gets paid like the best center
4:42
Speaker 2: in the game. And it happened, and he's never I
4:46
Speaker 2: think this year was the first year he didn't make
4:48
Speaker 2: All Pro team in his career so far, but Jason
4:51
Speaker 2: Kelsey was gonna get it retirement. I couldn't remember who
4:54
Speaker 2: the All Pro second team was, but you know, it's
4:56
Speaker 2: much deserved. He had a little rocky year last year.
5:00
Speaker 2: People were kind of coming like, if you're on Chiefs Twitter,
5:03
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, Creed Humphreys hikes aren't aren't what they
5:06
Speaker 2: used to be? Their little wobbly mahomes just having trouble
5:08
Speaker 2: dealing with it. We'll deal with this. He's the highest
5:10
Speaker 2: paid center in the NFL. He's getting ready for that
5:12
Speaker 2: three peat. So yeah, we just lock up our guys
5:15
Speaker 2: and pay them, and we know who's good for us.
5:18
Speaker 2: Like some tea. I'm sorry, I'd like to say.
5:20
Speaker 1: I wish our team, my team could do that.
5:22
Speaker 2: But your team's cheap, man.
5:25
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't feel like wearing this
5:27
Speaker 1: hat right now, but all right, next bit of news
5:30
Speaker 1: right here is the Steelers quarterback job is still un known.
5:34
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin he said he still hasn't decided whether Justin
5:37
Speaker 1: Fields or Russell Wilson is going to be the starting
5:40
Speaker 1: quarterback week one, and they're both playing in this last
5:43
Speaker 1: preseason game. So my question to you here is, Josh,
5:46
Speaker 1: who's gonna win that starting job? Here?
5:48
Speaker 2: They both don't look good, So I have no idea.
5:50
Speaker 2: Like I think what I would do. I would go
5:54
Speaker 2: with the younger, with the younger guy. I would go
5:56
Speaker 2: with Justin Fields and give give him the shot. I
5:59
Speaker 2: would go. I don't think he's given the opportunity that
6:01
Speaker 2: he should have been given in Chicago with the team
6:03
Speaker 2: around him. He has a little bit of a better
6:05
Speaker 2: squad here in Pittsburgh. No, I'm not saying George Pickens
6:07
Speaker 2: is a good receiver Breckon Thompson, But other than that,
6:13
Speaker 2: I think that he has the defense around him and
6:15
Speaker 2: he has two good running backs. I think you should
6:18
Speaker 2: let him cook with what he has in store there,
6:21
Speaker 2: and then if it doesn't work out, you still have
6:23
Speaker 2: a veteran in Russell Wilson who's been there before. He
6:25
Speaker 2: just doesn't look like the same Russell Wilson that we
6:27
Speaker 2: saw three years ago.
6:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, these guys, especially in this last preseason game, what
6:34
Speaker 1: did they have in the first half? Negative three yards
6:37
Speaker 1: total yards?
6:37
Speaker 2: It was bad, Yeah, it was it was terrible.
6:40
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I'll still give the nod to Russell
6:42
Speaker 1: Wilson because if justin Fields, he starts this year, this
6:46
Speaker 1: could potentially be his last year, because it's gonna just
6:49
Speaker 1: kill us confidence. True, you can let him sit a
6:51
Speaker 1: year where it's like, Okay, you could fix this, you
6:54
Speaker 1: could fix that. Just ride whatever Russell Wilson has left
6:57
Speaker 1: and you see what happens because he still is a
7:00
Speaker 1: solid quarterback. He's not great like you were saying, but
7:03
Speaker 1: still a solid quarterback. But this next bit of news,
7:06
Speaker 1: these last two things of news right here, they kind
7:08
Speaker 1: of go hand in hand together. So Johan Dotson he
7:11
Speaker 1: gets traded to the Eagles for a third round pick.
7:14
Speaker 1: And now it looks like the Commanders they're in the
7:16
Speaker 1: Brandon Nyuk sweepstakes, which we still don't know if he's
7:19
Speaker 1: going to Pittsburgh staying in San Francisco. So there is
7:23
Speaker 1: a connection. Jaden Daniels and Brandon Nyuk. They both went
7:27
Speaker 1: to Arizona State, so there is some connection there. They
7:29
Speaker 1: did play one year together. So first off, is this
7:34
Speaker 1: move from the Eagles smart? And what does this say
7:38
Speaker 1: about the Brandon Nyuk news right here?
7:41
Speaker 2: I think along the Eagles side of the side of
7:44
Speaker 2: the coin, I think adding another receiver, especially a guy
7:48
Speaker 2: that was first round talent not even two years ago
7:51
Speaker 2: and who did have a good rookie year, kind of
7:53
Speaker 2: fell off this last year. I was expecting a lot
7:55
Speaker 2: of big things. I drafted him highly last year in Fantasy.
7:58
Speaker 2: It didn't work out, but year before that he showed
8:01
Speaker 2: promise and he he is a speed threat. I think
8:03
Speaker 2: he's a little bit better than what's it, dude, slip
8:08
Speaker 2: my mind? He just left them this Ques Watkins. I
8:12
Speaker 2: think he's a little bit better than Quees Watkins. And
8:14
Speaker 2: I think adding that to your depth along with Paris Campbell,
8:17
Speaker 2: and like you said when we were talking earlier, Johnny Wilson,
8:20
Speaker 2: I think that's a good wide receiver corpse, especially having
8:23
Speaker 2: guys that can fill in play the slot because Davonta
8:26
Speaker 2: and aj Brown like to play primarily on the outside.
8:29
Speaker 2: Having guys that can be those speed demons that it's
8:31
Speaker 2: gonna do a lot for the Eagles offensively, especially already
8:34
Speaker 2: having sequon that offensive line, and it will allowed Jillen
8:37
Speaker 2: Hurts to do a lot more things. Adding a guy
8:39
Speaker 2: like Johan Dotson. I'm not saying he's this great receiver,
8:42
Speaker 2: but I do think he can be a good receiver
8:44
Speaker 2: if we're gonna look at the Brennan and I you
8:46
Speaker 2: part of this. I don't know anymore. It's just taking
8:50
Speaker 2: too long. I feel like there has Okay, it would
8:52
Speaker 2: kind of beat the actual trade deadline, but there has
8:55
Speaker 2: to be a deadline like set now, like we're players
9:00
Speaker 2: can show up to show up to practice, yeah, because
9:03
Speaker 2: it's happening too much every year, Like if you don't
9:05
Speaker 2: show up at this certain time, you're just not getting paid.
9:07
Speaker 2: Like there has to be a set rule. Because we've
9:10
Speaker 2: seen it with Chris Jones last year, we saw we
9:13
Speaker 2: see it with CD this year, Brandon and Aiyuk. We've seen
9:16
Speaker 2: it time and time before, and it kind of gets
9:18
Speaker 2: annoying as the as a fan because you want to know,
9:21
Speaker 2: where is this guy going, where is the where is
9:23
Speaker 2: our team direction with a certain player? How is this
9:26
Speaker 2: going to impact our team going into the season? And
9:29
Speaker 2: right now, I'm pretty sure, the forty nine ers are
9:30
Speaker 2: fed up with it, and whoever's in the trading trying
9:33
Speaker 2: to trade for Brandon Andyuk is fed up with it.
9:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely is frustrating. Then, So the last thing that
9:39
Speaker 1: I heard is that the Niners they offered a contract
9:41
Speaker 1: to Brandon Nayuk somewhere over thirty million, and he hasn't
9:44
Speaker 1: accepted it. He's basically saying, I went out and the
9:47
Speaker 1: Niners are like, well, you're not going anywhere. We have
9:51
Speaker 1: all the rights to you. You still have a year
9:53
Speaker 1: left on your contract, so you're going to have to
9:55
Speaker 1: play it out. So I don't know what's going to happen.
9:57
Speaker 1: We haven't seen somebody sit out. Le'Veon Bell, that's the
10:01
Speaker 1: last guy who actually sat out an entire season. But
10:04
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll do that because we saw what
10:06
Speaker 1: happened to Le'Veon Bell. He went down just his terrible path.
10:10
Speaker 1: He still got paid. But I don't know. It's definitely
10:13
Speaker 1: up in the air. But as far as this Eagles
10:15
Speaker 1: team right here, I just saw you change your name.
10:19
Speaker 1: But as far as as far as with the Eagles
10:23
Speaker 1: right here, I think that it is a really nice move.
10:26
Speaker 1: I know, I was just joking about Johan Dottson earlier
10:29
Speaker 1: saying he's trash, but him going up against a third
10:32
Speaker 1: best corner or the slot cornerback, it's a mismatch problem
10:37
Speaker 1: because you're most likely gonna double A J. Brown or
10:40
Speaker 1: double Davonta Smith and Saekwon Barkley. He's back there now.
10:44
Speaker 1: So you have two of the most dynamic rushing or
10:48
Speaker 1: people with the ball in their hands in the backfield.
10:50
Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna hard, it's gonna be hard to stop.
10:53
Speaker 1: There's nowhere where you could take advantage of. If that
10:57
Speaker 1: makes sense.
10:57
Speaker 2: Well then even with that, they have Dalla's daughter there,
11:00
Speaker 2: so like and he's obviously the third option after yeah,
11:04
Speaker 2: after aj Brown and DeVonta Smith. So adding another guy
11:09
Speaker 2: just that, that's just another weapon to this already stacked
11:11
Speaker 2: equals team. I think it makes them a lot scarier.
11:15
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I know we'll getting into prediction soon,
11:18
Speaker 1: but Nick Sirianni, I feel like you're on the hot
11:21
Speaker 1: seat here. You have all this talent here offensively defensively.
11:25
Speaker 1: If you have another bad year. Yes, I know you
11:28
Speaker 1: made the playoffs these past two years and you did
11:31
Speaker 1: start undefeated, but all this talent this arguably the most
11:35
Speaker 1: talented locker room in the NFL. If you disappoint, I'm sorry,
11:39
Speaker 1: you gotta be gone. I don't know how you feel
11:41
Speaker 1: about that, but I just think there's just too much
11:44
Speaker 1: talent in this damn room for you to disappoint or
11:47
Speaker 1: have another disappointing year.
11:49
Speaker 2: Well, me and you both know that being in Philadelphia,
11:52
Speaker 2: your time is is always up, your time is always
11:56
Speaker 2: on the countdown. I mean, we saw Andy Reid. Andy
11:59
Speaker 2: Reid never missed, never had a losing season in Philadelphia.
12:02
Speaker 2: I don't think he ever missed. I think he'll maybe
12:04
Speaker 2: miss the playoffs once as the head coach in Philadelphia,
12:07
Speaker 2: even made it to a Super Bowl as the head
12:08
Speaker 2: coach in Philadelphia, and they still got rid of him.
12:09
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson wins the Super Bowl, has a bad year,
12:12
Speaker 2: gets fired the next season. So it's the time. The
12:16
Speaker 2: time frame in Philadelphia for any Philadelphia sports team in
12:19
Speaker 2: general is slim, So you better win now. And I
12:23
Speaker 2: believe he's on the hot seat. I just want to
12:25
Speaker 2: ask you this question, who's more on the hot seat?
12:27
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy or Nick Sirianni. That's the real question right there,
12:31
Speaker 2: Because Dion and Shadeer are coming. I'm just saying, like
12:34
Speaker 2: there's a there's money for Jerry Jones to have right there.
12:39
Speaker 1: First off, pause, but second off, Oh, I gotta say
12:45
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. I gotta say Mike McCarthy because he's on
12:51
Speaker 1: a one year deal. He's on his last year of
12:53
Speaker 1: his contract. DA's on his last year. So I feel
12:58
Speaker 1: like Nick Sieriani, he can disappoint. I'm not saying he
13:00
Speaker 1: should keep his job, but you could argue saying, okay,
13:03
Speaker 1: well he deserves another shot because he didn't make the
13:06
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Then he made it to the playoffs consistently
13:09
Speaker 1: with Mike McCarthy. They we're talking about getting rid of
13:12
Speaker 1: him two years ago. So so yeah, like you said,
13:15
Speaker 1: Dion and Shader Sanders, they're there waiting for this job
13:19
Speaker 1: to open up. So I gotta say Mike McCarthy. I
13:22
Speaker 1: gotta say Mike McCarthy here. But as far as with
13:26
Speaker 1: any other NFL news or any other news, did you
13:29
Speaker 1: want to talk about anything else before we get into
13:31
Speaker 1: our topics.
13:33
Speaker 2: I feel like that was all the main, main, important,
13:35
Speaker 2: important things that I can remember right now.
13:38
Speaker 1: Okay, Josh, it's officially time we've been mentioning this for
13:43
Speaker 1: the past month pretty much. So this is the most
13:46
Speaker 1: exciting time of the year. We are two weeks away
13:48
Speaker 1: from football, so we have predictions time. So we're gonna
13:52
Speaker 1: start off with the NFC. Here, we're locking in our
13:56
Speaker 1: division leaders and who's gonna make the playoffs? Here, we're
13:59
Speaker 1: locking it in. I know we talked about East Division
14:02
Speaker 1: breaking it down. You guys should go check that out
14:04
Speaker 1: if y'all haven't. But we broke down and gave a prediction.
14:08
Speaker 1: But this is set in stone what we're leaving on
14:10
Speaker 1: the table here. So first division that we're gonna talk
14:14
Speaker 1: about right here is the NFC East, which features the Cowboys, Eagles, Giants,
14:22
Speaker 1: and Commanders. So, Josh, what is your standings for the
14:27
Speaker 1: NFC East?
14:28
Speaker 2: Number one the Washington Commanders. I'm just joking. I'm just joking.
14:34
Speaker 2: Don't joke that. Check to clip that so we can
14:37
Speaker 2: confuse people. Bring you viewers, bring you viewers and they
14:40
Speaker 2: actually see my real prediction where I put the Giants first.
14:43
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding, all right. So so number four is
14:47
Speaker 2: the Commanders. Obviously, I don't think there's much to be
14:50
Speaker 2: debated there. I think I think, uh, there's a I
14:54
Speaker 2: think Jayden Daniels, he's shown me a little bit in
14:57
Speaker 2: preseason that makes me a little bit more I say
15:01
Speaker 2: hyped for his for his debut in the NFL. It's
15:05
Speaker 2: just I'm not completely sold. H he has good weapons,
15:09
Speaker 2: Scary Terry, oh, actually just scary Terry and Diami Brown now,
15:12
Speaker 2: so I don't know. And then it's just Brian Robinson,
15:18
Speaker 2: Austin Eckler's cooked. So I yeah, this team just isn't
15:22
Speaker 2: the same. I feel like there's always a little hope
15:24
Speaker 2: for the Commanders in years past, like hey, maybe they
15:27
Speaker 2: might make that jump, maybe they might they might have
15:29
Speaker 2: a little bit of a chance this year. I don't
15:31
Speaker 2: think that. I think this is the rebuild. I think
15:33
Speaker 2: this is where we're restarting with Jayden Daniels and hoping
15:36
Speaker 2: something good comes out of it. I put I have
15:38
Speaker 2: the Giants three. I think the Giants still have the
15:41
Speaker 2: better head coach of the two, and Brian Dable. I
15:43
Speaker 2: believe he is a good football coach, especially a good
15:46
Speaker 2: offensive mind. I think if you start Tommy Devido, you
15:49
Speaker 2: may win the whole division, but that's probably not gonna happen.
15:51
Speaker 2: We're gonna We're gonna roll with Daniel Jones. I I like,
15:54
Speaker 2: I think I'm I'm becoming more believer in Elik Neighbors
15:58
Speaker 2: the more and more as it goes on, and I
16:00
Speaker 2: kind of believe in the defense a little bit more.
16:01
Speaker 2: They brought in Brian Burns, they have Cao Deontay Banks
16:06
Speaker 2: is there, so I kind of believe in them just
16:07
Speaker 2: a little bit more.
16:08
Speaker 1: So.
16:08
Speaker 2: The Giants will be third for me. But here's where
16:11
Speaker 2: the debate is always gonna is always gonna be the
16:13
Speaker 2: debate because today the Eagles got a lot stronger. Yeah,
16:17
Speaker 2: but does that mean I'm taking the Eagles above the Cowboys.
16:18
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean I am so. The Cowboys are still
16:20
Speaker 2: number one for me in this division and the Eagles,
16:25
Speaker 2: I believe, Hey, it's gonna be close. It's gonna be
16:27
Speaker 2: like last year where they're racing to the end. Well,
16:29
Speaker 2: actually know the Eagles did fall off, but I mean
16:31
Speaker 2: usually usually where they're racing to the end, it comes
16:34
Speaker 2: down to the last game of the season, who's the
16:36
Speaker 2: first seed in this division. That's what it is gonna
16:38
Speaker 2: be this year. I believe the Eagles may have the
16:41
Speaker 2: better roster if you look at it up and down,
16:43
Speaker 2: But the Cowboys always tend to be at the top
16:45
Speaker 2: and pull it out regular season wise at least. And
16:49
Speaker 2: I think, a man, it's gonna be tough. I think
16:53
Speaker 2: the Cowboys they're gonna be a lot better than people think.
16:56
Speaker 2: I don't think. And hey, Zeke's looking skinnier. Man Zeke
16:59
Speaker 2: looks like he's on a mission right now. He looks
17:01
Speaker 2: he looked like he's outady to prove that I'm still him.
17:05
Speaker 2: I don't think he'll be like what he used to be,
17:08
Speaker 2: but I do think if he shows a little bit
17:10
Speaker 2: more like he did in New England, just on a
17:13
Speaker 2: consistent basis, kind of like that, I think that's a
17:15
Speaker 2: good running back that you're gonna have in the backfield, especially.
17:17
Speaker 2: I think it's better than twenty Powlard last year.
17:19
Speaker 1: Okay, so before I get to the Cowboys. In Eagles part,
17:23
Speaker 1: that's pretty obvious. I'm gonna have the Giants finishing last
17:26
Speaker 1: place in this division h and I have Commanders three.
17:31
Speaker 1: And the main reason why I say that is because,
17:34
Speaker 1: for in case one, Daniel Jones, I'm not gonna cuss,
17:38
Speaker 1: but Daniel Jones is you know what. I'm not gonna
17:40
Speaker 1: say it, but we know what it is.
17:42
Speaker 2: Two pick six is good looking.
17:44
Speaker 1: Against Yeah, let's let's just say that two pick six
17:50
Speaker 1: in the second preseason game against backup backups. The reason
17:54
Speaker 1: why I happened is because Jaden Daniels. I feel like
17:58
Speaker 1: there's gonna be just games where he just takes over
18:01
Speaker 1: where I feel like Jayden Daniels he might already be
18:04
Speaker 1: a better quarterback than Daniel Jones. I'm not gonna lie.
18:07
Speaker 1: The Giants may have the better roster, but the quarterback's better,
18:11
Speaker 1: which I value more what you're gonna see throughout these standings.
18:15
Speaker 1: So I have Giants four, commanders three. I have the
18:19
Speaker 1: Eagles two as well, and I have the Cowboys one.
18:22
Speaker 1: And like I mentioned, the main reason why is because.
18:25
Speaker 2: Of Dak bias podcast.
18:26
Speaker 1: Yeah we're a bias podcast. We should know this by now.
18:29
Speaker 1: Somebody clip that, damn it, you know what, Make that
18:31
Speaker 1: another clip. But the reason why the Cowboys are gonna
18:36
Speaker 1: win the division over the Eagles is because Dak Prescott
18:39
Speaker 1: is better than Jalen Hurts, plain and simple. He is
18:42
Speaker 1: better than Jalen Hurts. He is a better thrower, he
18:44
Speaker 1: is a better accurate passer. He's better as far as
18:48
Speaker 1: precision passing. So there's nothing that Dak press or there's
18:52
Speaker 1: nothing that Jalen Hurts does better than Dak Prescott other
18:55
Speaker 1: than running the football. Let's be real here, if you
18:57
Speaker 1: want to turn on the tape, it's just clearcut. As
19:01
Speaker 1: far as offensive line, I think the Cowboys often Cowboys line,
19:06
Speaker 1: Yeah I am, I'm talking, I'm talking.
19:09
Speaker 2: But as far.
19:12
Speaker 1: As this Cowboys offensive line, I feel like this offensive
19:15
Speaker 1: line is gonna be a top three unit in the league.
19:18
Speaker 1: Cooper BB, Cooper BB and Tyler Guiden. What they've shown
19:22
Speaker 1: so far in training camp and in the preseason, they're dominant.
19:26
Speaker 1: And you already have Todder Smith and Zach Martin there,
19:29
Speaker 1: so that's clear cut. So I don't want to say
19:32
Speaker 1: much more because there's a lot more to get into.
19:35
Speaker 1: But yeah, I have the Cowboys one, Eagles two, the
19:39
Speaker 1: Commander's three, and then the Giants four. So let's go
19:44
Speaker 1: ahead and get onto this next division here, which features
19:47
Speaker 1: one of your favorite teams, the NFC North, which it
19:51
Speaker 1: features the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, and
19:55
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. So I feel like there's gonna be confrontation
20:00
Speaker 1: in this division right here. I think you may know why,
20:03
Speaker 1: but what are your standards looking like for this division?
20:07
Speaker 2: Number four for me is gonna be the Minnesota Vikings.
20:10
Speaker 2: I think their their defense didn't get a whole lot better.
20:14
Speaker 2: They still have the weapons there. We don't know Jordan
20:16
Speaker 2: Addison what the deal is going to be. And he's
20:19
Speaker 2: also I believe he I believe he even also got
20:22
Speaker 2: hurt recently. So ye, it's that's that's that's a question
20:27
Speaker 2: mark in itself.
20:28
Speaker 1: T J.
20:28
Speaker 2: Hawkinson's is not going to come back to I believe
20:31
Speaker 2: maybe around week ten. I think even even if he
20:33
Speaker 2: does come back this season, that's something that we'll have
20:36
Speaker 2: to wait and see for. So it's just Justin Jefferson
20:39
Speaker 2: and Aaron Jones, and I think Sam Darnold. I believe
20:43
Speaker 2: he's a good feeling if you've still had a young
20:46
Speaker 2: quarterback behind him. And but JJ McCarthy's also out, and
20:49
Speaker 2: I'm not even a big believer in JJ McCarthy. So
20:52
Speaker 2: I think this team has a lot more question marks
20:54
Speaker 2: than answers, and outside of Justin Jefferson, I believe that's
20:57
Speaker 2: the only answer. So for me, that's why they're four
21:01
Speaker 2: for third. I'm gonna go with the Chicago Bears. I
21:03
Speaker 2: think the Bears are gonna have a good season this year.
21:05
Speaker 2: Based off what I've seen in preseason. Kayler Williams is cooking,
21:08
Speaker 2: and I'll be here to admit that Romo Doonesa is
21:10
Speaker 2: also cooking. So it's gonna be cool to see. I
21:15
Speaker 2: think their defense is pretty underrated. Montes Sweat played really
21:18
Speaker 2: well last year to end the season when he got traded.
21:20
Speaker 2: There they still have Jalen Johnson. And then on the
21:23
Speaker 2: flip side, they rebuilt the offensive line. DeAndre Swift is there,
21:26
Speaker 2: Khalil Herbert is there. I think that's a good one
21:28
Speaker 2: to two punch to have in your backfield. And then
21:31
Speaker 2: also the wide receiver corps there they have DJ Moore
21:35
Speaker 2: and Rumo Dunday. Keenan Allen I believe there's a lot
21:37
Speaker 2: of there's a lot of reports that he's not he's not.
21:39
Speaker 2: He hasn't looked the same as he usually does. But hey,
21:42
Speaker 2: having Keenan Allen as your three, I think that's a
21:43
Speaker 2: good receiver. So and then Cole Kmets also there, and
21:47
Speaker 2: I believe they Broughton Gerald Everett this season also, so
21:51
Speaker 2: the roster is there. They for sure have set up
21:53
Speaker 2: Kayler Williams to succeed. I just think this division is
21:56
Speaker 2: just really tough, and for me, number two is obviously
21:58
Speaker 2: gonna be the Green Bay Packers, because who thought I
22:00
Speaker 2: would have put the not put the Lions at one.
22:02
Speaker 2: So number two is gonna be the Green Bay Packers,
22:05
Speaker 2: and I do think they're gonna build a lot off
22:07
Speaker 2: of what they did last season. I believe they became
22:09
Speaker 2: they came one drive short of beating the forty nine
22:11
Speaker 2: Ers last season when Jordan Love just kind of made
22:14
Speaker 2: a young man's mistake when he threw a cross body
22:15
Speaker 2: across the field and got picked off. If he just
22:18
Speaker 2: ran for a first ran out of bounds, maybe maybe
22:20
Speaker 2: the Packers are in the NFC Championship. But I think
22:26
Speaker 2: they have a good wide receiver corps. I don't know
22:28
Speaker 2: who's gonna be the complete number one there, but they
22:30
Speaker 2: have enough guys that can get the job done. And
22:33
Speaker 2: then bringing in Josh Jacobs, that's just that's just a
22:35
Speaker 2: piece that that elevates them a little bit higher. So
22:38
Speaker 2: I have a lot of hopes for them. I believe
22:40
Speaker 2: that they can even make the playoffs. And Number one
22:42
Speaker 2: for me is the Detroit Lions. I think they're the
22:43
Speaker 2: most complete team in the NFC outside the forty nine ers, maybe,
22:48
Speaker 2: but I think the Lions are are gonna get over
22:51
Speaker 2: that hump this season and they're gonna be the best
22:52
Speaker 2: for sure.
22:55
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I saw my dad's comment to throw another
23:00
Speaker 1: frisbee edge.
23:02
Speaker 2: Bro, that boy did hit me in the face. I
23:03
Speaker 2: had a bruise on my face for like a week.
23:06
Speaker 1: Bro, okay, so quick.
23:08
Speaker 2: The worst teammate, Bro, there's no worst teammate. There's there's
23:12
Speaker 2: Alan Iverson, There's Owens, There's there's Mellow, there's there's there's
23:20
Speaker 2: all these guys that are terrible teammates. And your D
23:24
Speaker 2: four is in that conversation, and your dad is on
23:27
Speaker 2: top of all those guys. He is he is the
23:29
Speaker 2: number one worst teammate to have. I don't know that
23:32
Speaker 2: little guy be doing some crazy shit sometimes. So yeah,
23:37
Speaker 2: he he hit me in the face, and he blamed
23:40
Speaker 2: the whole game on me, like he wasn't throwing the
23:42
Speaker 2: frisbees all the way around the freaking yard. Bro.
23:48
Speaker 1: All I gotta say about that is just shout out
23:50
Speaker 1: to Mario for being a great cam jam partner. I
23:52
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
23:53
Speaker 2: I have the other commentary. The commentary was legendary.
23:57
Speaker 1: It was legendary. We're not going to bring that up.
23:59
Speaker 2: We can't. We can't on this product, but the commentary legendary.
24:03
Speaker 1: But all right, as far as with this division right here,
24:07
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, I agree with you, they're gonna be
24:09
Speaker 1: last in this division here, Sam Donald being your starting quarterback.
24:13
Speaker 1: Whether you believed in JJ McCarthy or not, there's some
24:16
Speaker 1: upside there, Sam Donald.
24:18
Speaker 2: We know what he is.
24:19
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of interceptions in this offense.
24:22
Speaker 1: It's gonna just be justin Jefferson and you can't win
24:24
Speaker 1: games by himself.
24:26
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
24:27
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this. The Detroit Lions, they're gonna finish
24:30
Speaker 1: first in this division right here. They're gonna finish first. Oh,
24:35
Speaker 1: they're gonna just build off what they did last year.
24:37
Speaker 1: But I think it's gonna be close. As far as
24:40
Speaker 1: who I have finishing third right here, I have the
24:43
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers finishing third right here, and this Caago
24:47
Speaker 1: Bears finishing second. So the biggest reason why I am
24:52
Speaker 1: saying this is because the Chicago Bears have the third
24:56
Speaker 1: easiest schedule in the NFL. They have a bunch of
24:59
Speaker 1: easy wins on their schedule. The only tough games that
25:04
Speaker 1: they have are the Texans Rams. Then I have to
25:08
Speaker 1: keep scrolling down and then you have obviously the Packers.
25:11
Speaker 1: Then you have the Lions and Niners. So that's six
25:14
Speaker 1: game six to seven games at most, where potentially you
25:18
Speaker 1: lose all of them. Worst case scenario, you're ten and seven,
25:21
Speaker 1: which should get you in the playoffs compared to the Packers,
25:25
Speaker 1: who have a top ten as far as hardest strength
25:29
Speaker 1: of schedule. So yes, Jordan Love looked good. The Packers'
25:32
Speaker 1: offense did look good last year, But it also depends
25:35
Speaker 1: on who you're playing the following year, if that makes sense.
25:39
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be nip and tuck. But
25:42
Speaker 1: I think this is going to really come down to
25:44
Speaker 1: the last game, which they are playing the last game
25:46
Speaker 1: Week seventeen, and I think the Bears are going to
25:49
Speaker 1: find a way to pull that game out us and
25:53
Speaker 1: they're gonna finish second.
25:55
Speaker 2: You need to go like clear that mind the second
25:59
Speaker 2: in the division.
26:00
Speaker 1: Hey, it's a late pod. Forgive me, it's a late pod.
26:02
Speaker 1: Forgive me.
26:03
Speaker 2: Dude. Your son is going insane. Fonso. I agree with you.
26:07
Speaker 2: I agree with you.
26:08
Speaker 1: The Bears are finishing second, in this division, and the
26:10
Speaker 1: Packers are finishing third, but I both have them finishing
26:14
Speaker 1: the same record, if that makes sense. So Packers don't
26:17
Speaker 1: have the leg up, but the Bears they win the
26:19
Speaker 1: last game. They win the last game to get that
26:21
Speaker 1: second seed.
26:22
Speaker 2: Are they gonna split games or to do the Bears
26:25
Speaker 2: went twice to get Okay, Okay.
26:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they split. I think they split. It's
26:30
Speaker 1: just that strength to schedule. That's where it's tough here.
26:33
Speaker 1: But I don't want to talk about the Bears a little.
26:37
Speaker 1: I'll talk about them a little bit later, but all right,
26:39
Speaker 1: I'm sure will This next division right here, the NFC West.
26:45
Speaker 1: So it features the La Rams, San fran forty nine Ers,
26:50
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks here, So who's finishing first in
26:56
Speaker 1: this division here?
26:57
Speaker 2: First, it's gonna be the San Francisco forty nine ers.
27:03
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're gonna be offensive. I think
27:07
Speaker 2: they're still gonna be great offensively with or without Brandon Ayuk,
27:10
Speaker 2: but having him puts them over the top, for sure.
27:13
Speaker 2: But they've done it before where it's just been Deebo,
27:15
Speaker 2: where it's just been George Kittle, But now they have
27:18
Speaker 2: they've added and now they have CMC, so that just
27:21
Speaker 2: adds a whole nother element to this. I I think
27:23
Speaker 2: this is probably gonna I don't wish injury on anyone,
27:26
Speaker 2: but I think this is the year's CMC kind of
27:27
Speaker 2: slows down a little bit. I think all the all
27:31
Speaker 2: the touches he's gone over the last two seasons, and
27:33
Speaker 2: even not withstanding injury, the last time he did this,
27:37
Speaker 2: he got injured the next season. So it's just I
27:41
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of optimism to if he can
27:46
Speaker 2: hold up this whole season because he's he's been He's
27:49
Speaker 2: been a workhorse for them ever since he's gotten there.
27:52
Speaker 2: But if he does stay healthy, this team is gonna
27:54
Speaker 2: be right where they were last year, right in the
27:56
Speaker 2: position that they kind of were last year, where they're
27:58
Speaker 2: competing to get out of it and for a Super Bowl.
28:01
Speaker 2: But the defense, I do think they took a little
28:04
Speaker 2: hit with Drake green Law, but I do think they
28:06
Speaker 2: have enough people around around Frederick Warner that that they'll
28:09
Speaker 2: be able to get the job done. So the forty
28:10
Speaker 2: nine ers for me, remain at the top spot.
28:12
Speaker 1: Okay, so I know I said, what was it a
28:15
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago when we when we did the
28:17
Speaker 1: West the West Division, right.
28:18
Speaker 2: It was a couple of weeks ago, right, Yeah, he
28:20
Speaker 2: picked the Rams.
28:21
Speaker 1: So no, I don't have the Cardinals here, but I'm
28:28
Speaker 1: official changing my prediction. That's what I'm saying. This is
28:31
Speaker 1: the official clear cut. I gotta go with the Niners here.
28:34
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Rams, even if Brandon Ayuki's
28:38
Speaker 1: traded somewhere else, I think that the Niners they're just
28:41
Speaker 1: too dominant everywhere, and I think they're gonna just dominate
28:44
Speaker 1: this entire NFC. I don't care if Christian McCaffrey he's
28:47
Speaker 1: been hurt all training camp in preseason. They have so
28:50
Speaker 1: many pieces around there. And Kyle Shanahan is the best
28:53
Speaker 1: offensive mine. So well, that being said.
28:57
Speaker 2: Whoa whoa he is? You're crazy? He knows the best
29:04
Speaker 2: offensive mine. Who has three Super Bowl rings on his finger?
29:07
Speaker 2: That's who I know. The best offensive mine in the
29:09
Speaker 2: NFL is and you.
29:10
Speaker 1: Also have the greatest quarterback in Patrick Mahons.
29:13
Speaker 2: He was still doing these things with Michael Vick, with
29:15
Speaker 2: Donovan McNabb. He was still doing wins and they were
29:19
Speaker 2: consistently at the NFL. Did Kyle Shanahan, Hey, Hey, Kyle
29:24
Speaker 2: Shannan ain't won. That's the thing. He ain't never won one. Okay, Okay,
29:30
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know about best offensive mine.
29:32
Speaker 2: I'll give him top three, I'll give him top three,
29:34
Speaker 2: top two, top.
29:35
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I'll say this, Andy Reid, he was exactly
29:40
Speaker 1: what Kyle Shanahan was when he didn't have Patrick Mahomes.
29:43
Speaker 1: Can you agree to that?
29:46
Speaker 2: No? I will never agree to that shit. I'll never
29:48
Speaker 2: agree to that.
29:49
Speaker 1: Because obviously, if you look at right now, I'm not
29:52
Speaker 1: okay all time, Andy Reids better. But as far as
29:55
Speaker 1: offensive mind, does that make sense as far as just
29:58
Speaker 1: in this current state to what you have and what
30:01
Speaker 1: you as far as with the pieces, as far as
30:05
Speaker 1: what you have less, if that makes sense we've seen with.
30:08
Speaker 2: I would argue he has had better offenses than the
30:12
Speaker 2: Chiefs have had. He has better he had better quarterbacks. Hey,
30:15
Speaker 2: I didn't. We weren't talking about quarterbacks. We're talking about
30:18
Speaker 2: offense position. No, No, okay, now you want to pick
30:21
Speaker 2: and choose where we where we are? I don't know, bro,
30:28
Speaker 2: all right, I just I can't do the same take
30:32
Speaker 2: that you just took.
30:32
Speaker 1: I just had Top three, Top three, worst case scenario,
30:36
Speaker 1: top three.
30:37
Speaker 2: Alright, I'll take that. Okay, I'll agree with you on that.
30:40
Speaker 1: Top three. Okay, So I have the Niners one, I
30:44
Speaker 1: have the Rams two, the Cardinals three, and the Seahawks four.
30:49
Speaker 2: So what's your two through four? Okay? So two, I
30:52
Speaker 2: had the Rams h and I believe, I mean, I
30:56
Speaker 2: think the Rams will finished. Second. They got Pookah Cooper,
30:58
Speaker 2: Kyrine Blake, Corn, Matthew Stafford still there. I believe their
31:01
Speaker 2: offensive line gott but better, their defense got a little
31:03
Speaker 2: bit better. And there they were a lot of them
31:05
Speaker 2: were rookies last year, so they're getting they're getting more
31:07
Speaker 2: acclimated to the NFL. Now. The Seahawks and Cardinals were
31:11
Speaker 2: tough for me. I think you're splitting hairs. Really. The
31:15
Speaker 2: thing is, I'm gonna give the Seahawks that I didn't
31:18
Speaker 2: give them the last I'll give them a little bit
31:20
Speaker 2: of a nod, a little bit of a nod. I'm
31:21
Speaker 2: not saying, but this isn't set in stone. These last
31:24
Speaker 2: two spots for me in this division aren't set in stone.
31:26
Speaker 2: I believe the Cardinals are gonna be a whole lot
31:28
Speaker 2: better than they've been, especially with Jonathan Gannon, who is
31:31
Speaker 2: a good defensive coach. And then plus having Kyler Marv,
31:34
Speaker 2: Michael Wilson, Trey McBride, James Connor is usually good when
31:38
Speaker 2: he's healthy. So I and I believe there's something. I
31:41
Speaker 2: think Trey Brinson is gonna play a big role in
31:43
Speaker 2: this team. So and on the flip side of the Seahawks,
31:46
Speaker 2: they have a good defense, they have they have good
31:49
Speaker 2: they just have a good team. They have a good
31:51
Speaker 2: football team. And from every position there's there's really not
31:55
Speaker 2: beside maybe the defensive line where there's a weakness, a
31:58
Speaker 2: complete weakness, but other than not like they're solid all
32:01
Speaker 2: the way around. So I'm putting the Seahawks just slightly
32:04
Speaker 2: above the Cardinals, but it could flip. I believe it
32:06
Speaker 2: could flip flop. But I believe that season in the
32:08
Speaker 2: Seahawks will be above the Arizona Cardinals.
32:11
Speaker 1: Okay, so I agree with you. I just have one
32:14
Speaker 1: game difference between the Cardinals and Seahawks. But quarterback play.
32:20
Speaker 1: It comes down the quarterback play. That's the biggest thing.
32:23
Speaker 1: In my opinion. I feel like quarterbacks they determine wins
32:27
Speaker 1: and losses, no matter how damn good your talent is.
32:30
Speaker 1: Around you. That's how you win three super Bowls, even
32:33
Speaker 1: though who cares, It doesn't matter who your head coach is.
32:36
Speaker 1: But that's why. That's why Brock Purdy when he gets
32:40
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, he struggles because he's going up against
32:42
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. The better quarterbacks always win in the bigger moment.
32:46
Speaker 2: Jenny's tried his hardest, bro hardest.
32:50
Speaker 1: Start with that again, with that a good But that's why.
32:54
Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying the Cardinals are going to finish
32:56
Speaker 1: third because Kyler Murray is light years ahead of you know,
33:00
Speaker 1: Smith and Sam Howe combined. I'm saying that comfortably. Yes,
33:03
Speaker 1: they may have the better roster, but Kyler Murray is
33:07
Speaker 1: much better and he's gonna have a bounce back here.
33:09
Speaker 2: I'm not disagree. If anyone disagrees that Kyler Murray is
33:15
Speaker 2: you need to be medicated, like you need to be
33:17
Speaker 2: medicated if you don't think if you think Geno Smith
33:19
Speaker 2: or Sam how is better than Kyler Murray.
33:22
Speaker 1: Well that's what I'm saying. That's why i have Cardinals
33:25
Speaker 1: finishing above the Seahawks here. That's that's my reasoning right there,
33:29
Speaker 1: Not because roster just quarterback play. But all right, this
33:33
Speaker 1: last division right here, which we did cover last week,
33:37
Speaker 1: the NFC South, So it features the Bucks, Falcons, Saints,
33:42
Speaker 1: and Panthers.
33:43
Speaker 2: Here.
33:44
Speaker 1: Who is finishing one through four in this division?
33:48
Speaker 2: Well, number four for me, I have the Carolina Panthers.
33:50
Speaker 2: I think they just need a little bit more. I
33:51
Speaker 2: believe they're gonna be better than they were last season. I
33:54
Speaker 2: think Bryce Young is gonna come into a little bit
33:56
Speaker 2: more of his own this season, with a little bit
33:57
Speaker 2: better weapons around him and just a better head coach.
34:02
Speaker 2: So and then I think the Saints will finish in third.
34:05
Speaker 2: The veterans are still there. They they'll know how to
34:07
Speaker 2: get the job done in certain situations in certain games.
34:09
Speaker 2: They're gonna be in a lot of close games. I
34:11
Speaker 2: believe it's just they're not the same team that I
34:14
Speaker 2: once viewed them ass. I believe that they there, they
34:17
Speaker 2: should have committed to maybe a full rebuild because they
34:20
Speaker 2: have one of the highest They have one of the
34:23
Speaker 2: highest paid teams in the entire NFL, if not the
34:26
Speaker 2: highest paid team in the NFL with other players combined,
34:29
Speaker 2: and I believe it's come back to bite them and
34:32
Speaker 2: they're kind of stuck in like a little no man's
34:34
Speaker 2: land right now where they're good enough to compete with
34:37
Speaker 2: the playoff teams, but they're also bad enough to where
34:39
Speaker 2: they could miss the playoffs entirely.
34:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:42
Speaker 2: And then now at number two, I have the Tampa
34:45
Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers. They showed a lot last season with the
34:49
Speaker 2: connection of Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield. Chris Godwin took
34:54
Speaker 2: a step back, I believe it, but I believe adding
34:57
Speaker 2: Jalen McMillan will will kind of feel that little void
35:01
Speaker 2: that was left there. The defense is still kind of
35:03
Speaker 2: the same. Vita Vea, Antoine Winfield, Jamel Dean. It's it's
35:08
Speaker 2: just I believe the Falcons are gonna be better this season,
35:11
Speaker 2: and they added they they made sure that they got
35:14
Speaker 2: better this season, Kirk Cousins, Matthew Judon, Justin Simmons. They
35:18
Speaker 2: just paid Aga Traill one of the biggest contracts in
35:20
Speaker 2: cornerback history, making him not giving him the highest paid
35:23
Speaker 2: guaranteed money over four years. So they're gonna come there.
35:27
Speaker 2: They already know what their direction is gonna be, and
35:29
Speaker 2: it's gonna be win now. I believe Kyle Pitts is
35:31
Speaker 2: looking a lot He's looking a lot better playing with
35:35
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, Drake Lindon, I don't think he'll ever be
35:37
Speaker 2: this great receiver, but I believe he'll be a solid
35:39
Speaker 2: piece and I think he's gonna he's gonna have a
35:41
Speaker 2: bigger year this year. And I think Jon's currently I
35:44
Speaker 2: know we're gonna talk about later, but he's gonna be
35:46
Speaker 2: playing for Offensive Player of the Year this year. I
35:48
Speaker 2: think he truly is. And so that's why they're gonna
35:52
Speaker 2: finish number one for me.
35:54
Speaker 1: So again, this is another division where I'm changing my mind.
35:59
Speaker 2: Uh.
35:59
Speaker 1: I actually look down that sat down, looked at the
36:02
Speaker 1: schedules and everything. I'm gonna have the Falcons. Yeah, I
36:06
Speaker 1: tucked in my shirt if you know, you know that's that's.
36:09
Speaker 2: From the start out, that's from the Boys.
36:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. But number one, I have that Atlanta Falcons here.
36:17
Speaker 1: When I looked at this schedule, they have the easiest
36:20
Speaker 1: schedule in the NFL, easiest strength to schedule in the NFL.
36:24
Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna pay dividends. And even if
36:26
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins he does get hurt, I feel like Michael Pennix,
36:30
Speaker 1: he's more than capable enough to step up in this
36:33
Speaker 1: situation because he is an older quarterback, and he's and
36:37
Speaker 1: he's more experienced, he's more seasons. He's not one of
36:40
Speaker 1: these true rookie quarterbacks like a Caleb Williams or a
36:44
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels or Drake may somebody like that. So I
36:47
Speaker 1: think he could step in perfectly fine. So I have
36:50
Speaker 1: the Falcons won the Bucks just a game behind the
36:53
Speaker 1: Falcons in second. I have the Saints third, and then
36:56
Speaker 1: the Panther's fourth. But honestly, I was thinking about the
37:00
Speaker 1: Panthers and Saints here. I think the Panthers they may
37:03
Speaker 1: take a jump, obviously not a playoff jump, but as
37:07
Speaker 1: far as from being that last team in division for
37:10
Speaker 1: sure to being that third trying to battle for that second.
37:14
Speaker 1: I feel like Bryce Young he really can make this
37:16
Speaker 1: jump this year. I really do think so, because there
37:18
Speaker 1: has been some flash in the flashes in this preseason.
37:22
Speaker 1: But all right, I don't know if you have anything
37:25
Speaker 1: else you want to say about the South or do
37:27
Speaker 1: you want to go and enlist your seatings here?
37:30
Speaker 2: Now let's get into let's get into these seedings.
37:34
Speaker 1: Okay, you list your one through seven here of how
37:36
Speaker 1: you think the playoff picture is gonna look.
37:39
Speaker 2: So okay, So number one I have the Detroit Lions.
37:43
Speaker 2: I think the Detroit Lions are gonna finish first place
37:45
Speaker 2: in this entire conference. I think they're gonna have a
37:47
Speaker 2: great season this year. Number two for me is gonna
37:50
Speaker 2: be San Francisco forty nine Ers. I believe the saying
37:52
Speaker 2: Like I said, I think they'll be right back to
37:54
Speaker 2: where they were, especially if they are able to bring
37:56
Speaker 2: Brandon and I back. Right now, it's we don't know,
37:59
Speaker 2: but I still think they have the talent to finish
38:01
Speaker 2: right there. Number three for me is gonna be the
38:03
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. They're gonna They're gonna be close. I think
38:06
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a three way race, like a
38:08
Speaker 2: three way race like it was last season. It's not
38:10
Speaker 2: gonna be like where the Lions are just this complete
38:14
Speaker 2: dominating team where they just run through the whole NFC.
38:17
Speaker 2: I believe that it's gonna be Lions, Niners, Cowboys coming
38:20
Speaker 2: down to the last two games of this season. Hopefully
38:22
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell was a little bit more conservative and he
38:25
Speaker 2: secures he secures a couple wins.
38:27
Speaker 1: Just to lose to the Cowboys.
38:30
Speaker 2: Stop stop, stop, go ahead. Number Number four is gonna
38:33
Speaker 2: be the Atlanta Falcons and then number five I have
38:36
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles, number six Los Angeles Rams, and number
38:41
Speaker 2: seven the Green Bay Packers. And my honorable mentions, I
38:44
Speaker 2: believe that well that still have the good opportunity to
38:47
Speaker 2: make it are gonna be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and
38:48
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears.
38:50
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So we kind of have a similar picture,
38:54
Speaker 1: just in different orders here. So number one, I'm gonna
38:57
Speaker 1: have the San Francisco forty nine Ers here I think
38:59
Speaker 1: it does matter if they get Brandon Ayuk back or not.
39:02
Speaker 1: You have Christian McCaffrey, Deebo, Samuel George Kittle, one of
39:06
Speaker 1: the best defenses in the league. So Niners are finishing one.
39:10
Speaker 1: This is where it kind of changes up. So where
39:13
Speaker 1: it was Cowboys Lions last year, I have a Lions
39:16
Speaker 1: Cowboys this year. I feel like the Lions are gonna
39:19
Speaker 1: just be a little bit better, and I think Cowboys
39:22
Speaker 1: they have a couple more games where they're gonna stumble upon.
39:25
Speaker 1: So the fourth team right here, we both agree right here,
39:29
Speaker 1: this Atlanta Falcons. And as far as five, six, and seven,
39:33
Speaker 1: I have the Rams, Eagles, and then I have the
39:35
Speaker 1: Bears getting that last spot right there against the Packers
39:39
Speaker 1: kind of like I mentioned, the winner go home situation.
39:42
Speaker 1: The teams that just missed out are the Packers and
39:46
Speaker 1: then the Buccaneers and then another team and the Arizona Cardinals.
39:52
Speaker 1: I think the Arizona Cardinals they could make a late
39:54
Speaker 1: push as far as for getting this playoff spot, and
39:58
Speaker 1: they have a softer schedule towards the back end. And
40:02
Speaker 1: that's the only reason why I'm saying that if a
40:04
Speaker 1: couple of these couple of these teams, like the Bears,
40:06
Speaker 1: they lose games they shouldn't, the Bucks, the Falcons, then
40:11
Speaker 1: maybe they could creep into this last spot right here.
40:14
Speaker 1: But all right, now that we listed our seedings here,
40:18
Speaker 1: how do you think this NFC playoff pichure is gonna get?
40:22
Speaker 1: So get all the way up to your Super Bowl
40:24
Speaker 1: contender or who's making the Super Bowl?
40:27
Speaker 2: Alrighty, well here we go. I have the Detroit Lions
40:30
Speaker 2: on BUI. Obviously, they finished number one for me divisional,
40:33
Speaker 2: so it's gonna be forty nine ers versus the Packers.
40:36
Speaker 2: I believe the Packers come away with this game. I
40:38
Speaker 2: think the forty niners are gone in the first round
40:40
Speaker 2: this season. I think the Packers will finish the job.
40:44
Speaker 2: This season, I believe they were, Hey, they were one
40:46
Speaker 2: drive away from beating them. Last season, they were literally
40:48
Speaker 2: right there. If Jordan Love didn't make a young man's
40:51
Speaker 2: mistake at the end of the game, and I said
40:52
Speaker 2: it on the pod last season, he made a young
40:55
Speaker 2: man's mistake throwing across his body and not taking the
40:58
Speaker 2: easy dump off to Aaron Jones or just running for
41:00
Speaker 2: a first down or throwing out of bounds, he would
41:02
Speaker 2: have had time. They still had a minute thirty left.
41:03
Speaker 2: I believe with two timeouts, they had all the time
41:06
Speaker 2: in the world to run that clock down and get
41:08
Speaker 2: their score touchdown to win the game, or even kick
41:10
Speaker 2: a field goal. So because I can't remember the exact score,
41:13
Speaker 2: so I don't know what the scoring format was, but
41:15
Speaker 2: I know they could have wasted time to score. So
41:18
Speaker 2: for me, this year, the Packers the Packers. Packers fins
41:21
Speaker 2: the job versus the San Francisco forty nine ers this year.
41:25
Speaker 2: Then the next game, Cowboys versus Los Angeles Rams, and
41:29
Speaker 2: I believe the Dallas Cowboys shut down a high powered
41:34
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams the offense and secure a win and
41:39
Speaker 2: they move on to the next round, the wild card round.
41:42
Speaker 2: Then this next game Eagles versus Falcons, and I think
41:46
Speaker 2: this is gonna be the the probably the funnest game
41:50
Speaker 2: to watch of the NFC. Of the NFC divisional games,
41:53
Speaker 2: I believe it's gonna be a back and forth battle,
41:55
Speaker 2: but I think the experience and the high power just
41:59
Speaker 2: the team overall, the Philadelphia Eagles is gonna outlast the
42:02
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons and move on to the next round. So
42:05
Speaker 2: now in the wildcard we have two divisional matchups Lions
42:09
Speaker 2: versus Packers, Cowboys versus Eagles. Oh and if you thought
42:13
Speaker 2: I was gonna pick the Packers over the Lions, you
42:15
Speaker 2: are mistaken, because the Lions are gonna move on to
42:18
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship and they are gonna I think this
42:22
Speaker 2: is gonna be a really close game there. It's gonna
42:24
Speaker 2: be the third time meeting. But here's the thing. I
42:26
Speaker 2: think the Detroit Lions win all three and they're gonna
42:28
Speaker 2: go three to zero versus the Green Bay Packers in
42:32
Speaker 2: this next season. So the Lions move on to the
42:35
Speaker 2: NFC Championship. But here we go Cowboys versus Eagles. Dude
42:41
Speaker 2: does Dak Prescott and the Cowboys make it to the
42:43
Speaker 2: NFC Championship for the first time since nineteen ninety five.
42:50
Speaker 2: And yes, they're gonna beat the Philadelphia Eagles and they're
42:52
Speaker 2: gonna move on to the NFC Championship. I think it's
42:56
Speaker 2: gonna be a really good game. I think these both
42:58
Speaker 2: these teams are gonna go at it. It's just gonna
43:00
Speaker 2: be whoever has the ball last. And I believe Dak
43:02
Speaker 2: Prescott is gonna lead the fourth quarter drive to win
43:05
Speaker 2: the game. And that's what's gonna happen here. We get
43:08
Speaker 2: to this who who's gonna make it to the Super Bowl?
43:11
Speaker 2: The Detroit Lions versus Dallas Cowboys. And to to Alfonso's pain,
43:16
Speaker 2: to all of Texas's paying, to America's paying to the
43:20
Speaker 2: most popular team in the entire world's pain that Dallas
43:23
Speaker 2: Cowboys come up short once again. Hey hey, but getting
43:27
Speaker 2: to getting to NFC Championship is something you haven't done
43:29
Speaker 2: in a long time. There has to be a consolation
43:31
Speaker 2: prize here, ladies and gentlemen. And I'm taking the Detroit
43:34
Speaker 2: Lions to make it to the Super Bowl, and so
43:36
Speaker 2: that those are That's that's my NFC Playoff prediction right there.
43:40
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So I don't know how to feel about
43:44
Speaker 1: that Cowboys, I'm not I'm not gonna lie. It kind
43:47
Speaker 1: of feels good for them to reach the conference championship.
43:51
Speaker 1: But honestly, just me, coming as a Cowboys fan, I
43:54
Speaker 1: don't know how you'd feel about your team. I know
43:56
Speaker 1: your team's won, but I'd rather my team lose an
44:00
Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs then get to the
44:02
Speaker 1: conference championship or super Bowl and lose, because I feel like,
44:06
Speaker 1: not that I've been there or not that I've seen
44:08
Speaker 1: my team go there, but I feel like it'd be
44:10
Speaker 1: much worse, if that makes sense, just coming from a
44:13
Speaker 1: fans perspective here. But all right, So I have two
44:19
Speaker 1: division division or indivision matchups here in the wild card round.
44:24
Speaker 1: The first one is a Detroit Lions versus the Chicago Bears,
44:29
Speaker 1: and I think that the Lions are gonna dog walk
44:32
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears here. I think this where Caleb Williams
44:36
Speaker 1: he'll end up being inexperienced in the rent or in
44:39
Speaker 1: Then the Lions, they're just gonna be on a different level.
44:41
Speaker 1: They're just trying to take care of business here. Then
44:44
Speaker 1: this next divisional matchup I have right here, just around
44:47
Speaker 1: earlier from you the Cowboys versus the Eagles are three
44:51
Speaker 1: versus the six seed. Again, Dak Prescott is a better
44:54
Speaker 1: quarterback than Jalen Hurts, and I feel like it's going
44:57
Speaker 1: to be proven throughout this game. Matchup I have is
45:01
Speaker 1: a four to five that Atlanta Falcons versus the LA Rams.
45:06
Speaker 1: This one, I this is one thing we can agree on.
45:09
Speaker 1: I feel like that Atlanta Falcons game that's gonna be
45:12
Speaker 1: the most fun fun one to watch because this team
45:16
Speaker 1: could just score at will, and they.
45:18
Speaker 2: Have the Rams. The Lions game was electric this last season.
45:22
Speaker 1: So yeah, exactly. And then like you were saying, not
45:25
Speaker 1: even mentioned the Rams side Poka Nakua, Kiren Williams, Cooper
45:29
Speaker 1: Cup and I think the Rams they take care of
45:32
Speaker 1: business here. I just think, again, just experience, it matters,
45:36
Speaker 1: it matters here. So the matchups I have right here
45:39
Speaker 1: in the divisional rounds, I have the San Francisco forty
45:43
Speaker 1: nine Ers versus the Los Angeles Rams and the Detroit
45:47
Speaker 1: Lions versus the Dallas Cowboys. First first, I'm gonna start
45:53
Speaker 1: with the Rams and Niners here. Honestly, I thought that
45:58
Speaker 1: the Rams. Like I was looking at it, I was
46:00
Speaker 1: trying to find every every reason, every logical reasoning to
46:04
Speaker 1: give it to the Rams here why they should win.
46:06
Speaker 1: The better quarterback blah blah blah. The Niners are gonna
46:09
Speaker 1: just win this game. They just have a different type
46:11
Speaker 1: of physicality in the playoffs, and it's gonna be in
46:14
Speaker 1: San France because I have them as the one seed here.
46:17
Speaker 1: I think the Niners they take care of business and
46:20
Speaker 1: get back to the NFC championship. The Lions Cowboys the
46:24
Speaker 1: second game. I know there was some controversy last year,
46:31
Speaker 1: but but I feel like the Cowboys with the jump,
46:36
Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna have as far as offensive
46:38
Speaker 1: line wise, defensive line wise, some of the moves they had.
46:42
Speaker 1: I feel like the Cowboys they take care of business here.
46:45
Speaker 1: And another reason why Dak Prescott is better than Jared Goff.
46:49
Speaker 1: I feel like quarterback play is really gonna matter in
46:52
Speaker 1: this NFC.
46:52
Speaker 2: Here, not with.
46:56
Speaker 1: Golf, not this time.
46:57
Speaker 2: And I feel like no, and I.
47:00
Speaker 1: Feel like we'll shut those critics critics up. As far
47:03
Speaker 1: as the game last year, well, I know we're gonna
47:05
Speaker 1: play them this year, but in the playoffs. So it's
47:08
Speaker 1: Niners versus Cowboys in the conference championship game.
47:13
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do, brother, What are you gonna do?
47:16
Speaker 1: It's a rivalry back to the eighties in the nineties,
47:19
Speaker 1: even even.
47:20
Speaker 2: Though living off the past, you know, living.
47:23
Speaker 1: Off the past pretty much. But as much as I
47:29
Speaker 1: want the Cowboys to win, I just don't think we
47:32
Speaker 1: beat the Niners here, Dang, I don't. I don't think
47:35
Speaker 1: we beat the Niners.
47:37
Speaker 2: Yet's talk about it. Let's talk about her. Are you
47:39
Speaker 2: feeling feeling right now?
47:42
Speaker 1: I'm already feeling disappointed with the season. I'm not gonna lie.
47:46
Speaker 2: I'm already. I'm already. I'm already mad.
47:49
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be a realistic Cowboys fan here, realistic.
47:55
Speaker 2: But I'm trying to give you.
47:56
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give real analysis here.
47:59
Speaker 2: Hey, are better? Man?
48:00
Speaker 1: Fuck that you really thought I was gonna pick the Diners.
48:03
Speaker 2: You really thought I was gonna pick the Dinners Bias partners.
48:09
Speaker 1: Josh, I got a question for you. What are we?
48:12
Speaker 1: What are we?
48:14
Speaker 2: Mexicans?
48:18
Speaker 1: We are We.
48:18
Speaker 2: Are a biased sports podcast, baby, and we don't go
48:23
Speaker 2: back I picked the Lions for a reason. You thought
48:25
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna go backwards. No, we only go forward.
48:29
Speaker 2: Just wait till we get to the AFC.
48:32
Speaker 1: Like I said, we are a bias podcast here. The
48:35
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys are making the damn super Bowl here. I'm
48:39
Speaker 1: calling it right now, Dak Prescott is better than Brock Purty.
48:42
Speaker 1: Brock Purty is trash. I'm trashing brock Party right now.
48:45
Speaker 1: I usually don't brock Party, he is asked, And we're
48:51
Speaker 1: going to the damn super Bowl.
48:52
Speaker 2: Here, Brot, I've never said anything that hurtful to you
48:55
Speaker 2: in my entire life, bro.
48:58
Speaker 1: But a right, So, yeah, Cowboys, they're my super Bowl
49:02
Speaker 1: representative in the NFC here, So we're not gonna We're
49:06
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the NFC a little bit later again,
49:10
Speaker 1: but let's go ahead and move on to this AFC here.
49:12
Speaker 1: Let's move on to this AFC here, which I know
49:15
Speaker 1: you're excited to talk about here. But first we're gonna
49:19
Speaker 1: talk about this AFC East here, which features Miami Dolphins,
49:25
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's, New York Jets, and New England Patriots. So
49:30
Speaker 1: how is this division gonna look at the end of
49:31
Speaker 1: the year.
49:32
Speaker 2: I think I think we can both agree the Newland
49:34
Speaker 2: Patriots are gonna probably finish last in this division. Yeah,
49:37
Speaker 2: I think Drake may may have a little bit of them.
49:42
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have some games where he shows that, oh,
49:44
Speaker 2: this is probably the right pick, and then it's gonna
49:47
Speaker 2: be a struggle kind of this season. I think they're
49:50
Speaker 2: figuring out their wide receiver situation. Who's gonna be the
49:52
Speaker 2: guy to merge, who's gonna be the guy to take
49:54
Speaker 2: over Jalen Polk, Kendrick Bourne, Javon Baker, the Mario Douglas
50:00
Speaker 2: like they have good they have good pieces. Is I
50:03
Speaker 2: think Kishan Budi, I think he's he's a really good receiver.
50:06
Speaker 2: So they have good pieces. Is just how are they
50:09
Speaker 2: gonna come together in jail? Ramondre Stevenson good running back,
50:13
Speaker 2: but the defense isn't the same. It's something to see
50:16
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick held these health this team in games. This
50:20
Speaker 2: defense was consistently at the top. How are they gonna
50:22
Speaker 2: fare this season without Bill Belichick? No Matthew Judah, no
50:25
Speaker 2: more matt Christian Zalez is coming back from injury. So
50:27
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to see what they really are. And
50:29
Speaker 2: I think it's just gonna be too much. So they're
50:31
Speaker 2: gonna finish last for me. Number three for me is
50:34
Speaker 2: gonna be the Buffalo Bills. And it's weird to see
50:36
Speaker 2: them at number three in this division because they've dominated
50:38
Speaker 2: over the last what six seasons, five seasons on this
50:42
Speaker 2: division and it's just the same. There's too many question marks.
50:46
Speaker 2: I believe Josh Allen is gonna hold them in a
50:48
Speaker 2: lot of games. He's gonna take a lot of chances
50:50
Speaker 2: that that is end up good for them or end
50:53
Speaker 2: up bad and losing Matt Mulano doesn't help, Tardevius White,
50:56
Speaker 2: Jordan Ployer is gone, It's gonna it's a whole new
50:58
Speaker 2: look on that defensive side. So there's there's there's gonna
51:01
Speaker 2: be a lot to learn about this team defensively. Offensively,
51:05
Speaker 2: I think we know Josh Allen's gonna do do his thing.
51:07
Speaker 2: I believe that the running back core. I'm not a
51:11
Speaker 2: big believer in James Cook. I think he's a good
51:13
Speaker 2: running back, not a great running back. Some people are
51:15
Speaker 2: higher than I am on him. I would think they
51:17
Speaker 2: have some good guys behind him with Ray Davis, Frank
51:19
Speaker 2: Gore Junior, two rookies that can maybe step up a
51:23
Speaker 2: little bit. Dalton k k is gonna play a big
51:25
Speaker 2: role or just gonna have to wait and see if
51:28
Speaker 2: is keyon Coleman gonna emerge as that number one that
51:30
Speaker 2: they drafted him to be, or is he gonna take
51:32
Speaker 2: a back seat to Curtis Samuel this season. So there's
51:36
Speaker 2: there's what that's that's the question mark. How is Josh
51:39
Speaker 2: Allen gonna do with what's around him? So they're gonna
51:41
Speaker 2: finish third for me. Number two is the Miami Dolphins.
51:45
Speaker 2: I think some me and you may probably disagree, but
51:48
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins, for me, I think they're gonna be
51:54
Speaker 2: great offensively, There's no question about it. But I think
51:57
Speaker 2: those games when it gets cold, when it gets into
51:59
Speaker 2: the into December into February one weather, teams don't make it.
52:04
Speaker 2: And I think this is where the other teams in
52:06
Speaker 2: this division out last them when I think it's gonna
52:08
Speaker 2: be close between them and the Jets, and the Jets
52:10
Speaker 2: are gonna with Aaron Rodgers healthy asterisk. With Aaron Rodgers healthy,
52:15
Speaker 2: this team will finish first in this division. And I
52:18
Speaker 2: think they're gonna They're gonna be what they've been waiting
52:21
Speaker 2: for for a couple of years now.
52:24
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna just start off from the very beginning here.
52:28
Speaker 1: I do think that the Patriots they're gonna finish last
52:30
Speaker 1: in this division, Drake May there's gonna be ups and
52:33
Speaker 1: downas because he's a true rookie and it's a very
52:37
Speaker 1: shaky team already as it is. So they're definitely finishing last.
52:41
Speaker 1: They're definitely finishing last. But I do agree as far
52:45
Speaker 1: as number one here, the New York Jets, they're gonna
52:49
Speaker 1: finish first in this division. And the main reason why
52:52
Speaker 1: is that Aaron Rodgers he's not gonna have to do
52:55
Speaker 1: what he normally did in Green Bay. He has a
52:58
Speaker 1: definitely revapped offensive line. And you got Olufshan who, You've
53:01
Speaker 1: got Tyron Smith, Elijah Vera Tucker he's coming back, so
53:04
Speaker 1: you have three solid pieces there, and you have one
53:07
Speaker 1: of the best running backs who may be contending for
53:10
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Year Brisaw. He had a great
53:13
Speaker 1: year last year. So I think this is just just
53:16
Speaker 1: gonna be a dominant year for the defense. Offense are
53:20
Speaker 1: gonna do more than enough. So there, I feel like
53:23
Speaker 1: they're gonna just take care of business in this division
53:26
Speaker 1: fairly easily in my opinion. But as far as second
53:30
Speaker 1: and third here, I have the Miami Dolphins three and
53:33
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills too. I wanted I wanted to count out.
53:38
Speaker 2: The Bills, Josh Allen winning MVP. If you're saying that
53:41
Speaker 2: it's Josh Allen or are we gonna get to that later.
53:45
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that later. We're gonna get into
53:47
Speaker 1: that later.
53:47
Speaker 2: We're gonna get into that later. If they finished two
53:50
Speaker 2: in this division, I don't know.
53:53
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that later. I think Josh Allen
53:56
Speaker 1: he's gonna superman this Buffalo Bills team here. And I
54:00
Speaker 1: do think Keon Coleman he can become that star. But
54:03
Speaker 1: people they like you mentioned Dalton Kinkaid, he's gonna be
54:07
Speaker 1: the number one receiving threat there. Keon Coleman he could
54:10
Speaker 1: be that number two. So quarterbacks they elevate wide receivers
54:14
Speaker 1: or pass catching players, and I think Josh Allen's gonna
54:17
Speaker 1: do exactly that. And as far as why the Miami
54:20
Speaker 1: Dolphins there are three, they're having a bunch of injuries.
54:24
Speaker 1: They had a bunch of injuries late in the year defensively,
54:28
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna kill him. I really do
54:31
Speaker 1: think that's gonna kill him. I feel like they're gonna
54:33
Speaker 1: get off to a late start and maybe mid season
54:37
Speaker 1: they'll be back to full form. On defense, and by
54:39
Speaker 1: that time, I think the Bills they'll already have a
54:42
Speaker 1: couple of games ahead of them, so they're gonna have
54:44
Speaker 1: to make up ground on the Bills, and I think
54:46
Speaker 1: it'll just be too late. So I have the Jets won,
54:49
Speaker 1: Bills to Dolphins three and Patriots four. So this next
54:54
Speaker 1: division right here for you, Josh, it's your division right here,
54:58
Speaker 1: the division you'd.
54:58
Speaker 2: Love to follow.
55:00
Speaker 1: You see the AFC WES, which features I'm gonna say
55:04
Speaker 1: the two time Super Bowl champs back to back Kansas
55:08
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, the Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos, and LA
55:13
Speaker 1: Chargers here so or you know what, go ahead, the
55:17
Speaker 1: floors yours, Josh, go ahead.
55:19
Speaker 2: Did my rent last week? I did my rant, I
55:21
Speaker 2: did my rent two weeks ago. I'm not gonna do
55:23
Speaker 2: too much here. So Broncos are gonna be four for me.
55:26
Speaker 2: I don't think there has to be an explanation. The
55:28
Speaker 2: Broncos are gonna be a terrible football team because I
55:30
Speaker 2: don't believe in Sean Payton. And like most people do,
55:33
Speaker 2: most a lot of people, they do. They believe in him.
55:36
Speaker 2: Not me, not this guy, not this guy sitting in
55:38
Speaker 2: this chair right here. He believes. I don't so. Quarterback situation,
55:43
Speaker 2: don't like it. Wide receiver situation, don't like it. Running
55:47
Speaker 2: back situation, don't like it. Defensive situation. I like Patrick Retain,
55:51
Speaker 2: how you're doing, keep moving. Broncos are finishing in fourth.
55:54
Speaker 2: Number three. Number three for me is gonna be the
55:59
Speaker 2: Lost Angeles Chargers, and I understand that their defense still
56:03
Speaker 2: has quite a few weapons on that side. And then
56:07
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert is still there. I Wide receivers, question marks,
56:10
Speaker 2: running backs, question marks. That's what it is. This offense
56:13
Speaker 2: isn't going to be the same. I think I think
56:14
Speaker 2: they're gonna take a little bit of a step back,
56:16
Speaker 2: and Justin Herbert's gonna be caught doing too much. Number
56:19
Speaker 2: two for me is gonna be the Las Vegas Raiders.
56:22
Speaker 2: I think we saw last year what Gardner minshe can
56:24
Speaker 2: do if you do give him the reins, and he
56:26
Speaker 2: had the Colts they're fighting, he had them fighting for
56:29
Speaker 2: a playoff spot, and I think this season, I think
56:31
Speaker 2: he has a little bit better of a defense over
56:33
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas, led by Max Crosby. And then
56:36
Speaker 2: this offense, there's still DeVante Adams, There's Jacobe Myers, there's
56:39
Speaker 2: Michael Mayer, there's Brock Bowers, and I believe Zamir White's
56:42
Speaker 2: gonna have a big season this year. I'm hoping because
56:45
Speaker 2: he's so far on every single one of my fantasy
56:46
Speaker 2: football teams. So Samir White, I need you to come through, bro.
56:50
Speaker 2: But except for against the Chiefs. You can do absolutely
56:53
Speaker 2: terrible against the Chiefs. Real life means more to me
56:55
Speaker 2: than fantasy. So just do terrible against the Chiefs and
56:58
Speaker 2: we'll be okay. But yeah, the Las Vegas Las Vegas Raiders,
57:03
Speaker 2: I believe they're gonna have a good season this season,
57:05
Speaker 2: and I believe they're gonna finish in second and number one.
57:07
Speaker 2: For me, guys, I'm not gonna get into it too much,
57:09
Speaker 2: but it's gonna be the three peating Super Bowl champions
57:12
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs that are gonna finish first in this division.
57:17
Speaker 1: Way to give away your Super Bowl pick?
57:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, who would have thought? Yeah? Well, my bad, guys,
57:24
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit. I'm just I'm just full of surprises.
57:29
Speaker 1: Just full of surprises here, but no surprise here for
57:33
Speaker 1: this one. Denver Broncos, they are finishing fourth. I do
57:36
Speaker 1: agree with you, even though Bo Nicks he did look nice,
57:40
Speaker 1: and he is gonna be starting. I feel like it's
57:42
Speaker 1: just in this AFC, there's too many damn good quarterbacks,
57:46
Speaker 1: no matter how good you do, start off third or
57:49
Speaker 1: second and third. I have right here, I have the
57:51
Speaker 1: Raiders third, and then I have the Chargers second. I
57:55
Speaker 1: really am buying that the Chargers are gonna have a
57:57
Speaker 1: better year than what people think, not that they're gonna
58:00
Speaker 1: gonna be close to the playoffs, but as far as
58:03
Speaker 1: second in this division, because justin Herbert, I feel like
58:07
Speaker 1: he could make up for some of these mistakes or
58:10
Speaker 1: some of the liabilities compared to the Raiders. And now
58:13
Speaker 1: you have an offensive line, you have Rashaun Slater, you
58:16
Speaker 1: have Joe Alt, you have your two tackles, and that's
58:19
Speaker 1: really the most important on the offensive line. So you
58:23
Speaker 1: have that, You're gonna stay in a bunch of games,
58:25
Speaker 1: and I feel like you're gonna win half of those.
58:27
Speaker 1: So they're gonna finish second, Raiders are finishing third. And
58:31
Speaker 1: as far as with the Kansas City Chiefs, I really
58:35
Speaker 1: do think that how it's been looking in the preseason, honestly,
58:40
Speaker 1: they probably they probably lose two three games here. Really realistically,
58:46
Speaker 1: I think I I was thinking there was gonna be
58:49
Speaker 1: more games. I thought that that was gonna be maybe five,
58:51
Speaker 1: maybe six. I think that the Chiefs are gonna dominate
58:54
Speaker 1: this year.
58:55
Speaker 2: And I guess I'm really critical of them. I'm like,
58:59
Speaker 2: I understand I went on my rant twenty and o
59:00
Speaker 2: last week, but I am overly critical. Like if we don't,
59:04
Speaker 2: I get we win games, but I want perfection, like
59:06
Speaker 2: I I I get pretty mad when we and the
59:09
Speaker 2: preseason has been disappointing. I understand our offense isn't out
59:11
Speaker 2: there like our main but dude, it's been I understand
59:15
Speaker 2: it's Ian Book screwing it up for us, but Ian
59:17
Speaker 2: Book like, what the heck? Bro Like, I don't know,
59:20
Speaker 2: my bad bad they've been pissing me off.
59:23
Speaker 1: You gotta remember there's a difference between Ian Book and
59:26
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes.
59:27
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
59:30
Speaker 1: You know you know what You're right. If Andy Reid
59:32
Speaker 1: was that good, he'd be making the offensive so much better.
59:35
Speaker 2: Hey, you quiet, you shut your mouth.
59:37
Speaker 1: Hey, that that's all I'm saying. That's that's all I'm saying.
59:40
Speaker 2: But all right, as starts for you this season, oh.
59:45
Speaker 1: My goodness, Yeah, no, we're don't wish that upon me,
59:48
Speaker 1: that's worse than bad luck. That's worse than you.
59:51
Speaker 2: Take that back, Ricky Bobby on me.
59:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chiefs won. Chargers to Raiders three, Broncos four.
1:00:04
Speaker 2: Okay, I want your opinion on the Raiders. What do
1:00:06
Speaker 2: you think the Raiders are gonna look like this season?
1:00:08
Speaker 1: I feel like the Raiders. I feel like at times
1:00:11
Speaker 1: they're gonna look good. They're gonna look like a team
1:00:13
Speaker 1: that could make the playoffs. But I feel like the
1:00:16
Speaker 1: quarterback play is gonna really hold them back.
1:00:18
Speaker 2: Yep.
1:00:19
Speaker 1: And they have pieces around, like you're saying, Samir White,
1:00:21
Speaker 1: Jakobe Myers, DeVante Adams, brock Bauers, Michael Meyer, and then
1:00:26
Speaker 1: the defensive line, Max Crosby, Christian Wilkins. You even have
1:00:29
Speaker 1: Jack Jones as dB, Trevon Morig. There's pieces there, but
1:00:34
Speaker 1: you don't have a quarterback. You don't have a quarterback realistically,
1:00:39
Speaker 1: it's more of a bridge quarterback that you have. I know,
1:00:41
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, he looked good last year, but let's be real.
1:00:45
Speaker 1: Shane Stikeen, he's known to put quarterbacks in the right situation.
1:00:50
Speaker 1: Antonio Pears, He's more of a defensive and energy guy,
1:00:54
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. He's not this quarterback whisper and
1:00:58
Speaker 1: we saw with eight and o'c connell last year. I
1:01:01
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna make this jump. But yeah, Raiders,
1:01:07
Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna have seven eight wins here.
1:01:10
Speaker 1: They're gonna have seven eight wins here. But Okay, we
1:01:14
Speaker 1: talked about this division last week, and I know there
1:01:17
Speaker 1: was some controversy, well at least for me and you.
1:01:20
Speaker 1: I know there wasn't no clips of it. But if
1:01:22
Speaker 1: y'all watch that, y'all know why. And the division we're
1:01:25
Speaker 1: talking about is the AFC South here that features the
1:01:29
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans, and Jacksonville Jaguars. So, Josh,
1:01:35
Speaker 1: how is this division playing out here?
1:01:38
Speaker 2: I'm standing on business still, Buddy. Number one is me
1:01:41
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans. Number two the Jacksonville Jaguars. Number three
1:01:47
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts, and number four is gonna be the
1:01:50
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans. And I believe in Doug Peterson. That's why
1:01:54
Speaker 2: I'm putting them second. Because I like Doug Peterson. He's
1:01:56
Speaker 2: a great guy, all right, He's a really cool dude.
1:01:59
Speaker 2: If you really ask me, I think he's really cool. No,
1:02:03
Speaker 2: but I think I think Sunshine Lawrence over there is
1:02:06
Speaker 2: gonna have a resurgence. I think having Christian Kirk as
1:02:10
Speaker 2: his number one again is gonna create that rapport. Evan
1:02:13
Speaker 2: Ingram had a good season last year. Brian Thomas Junior,
1:02:16
Speaker 2: I believe can take a step forward. He's looked pretty
1:02:18
Speaker 2: good so far. So I think I believe in this
1:02:20
Speaker 2: Jaguars team a little bit. Josh Joshua Hines Allen just
1:02:23
Speaker 2: got paid, so he's gonna he's gonna be there to
1:02:26
Speaker 2: prove that he can do the job. Andre Cisco I
1:02:28
Speaker 2: like him a lot, so I believe the Jacksonville Jaguars
1:02:31
Speaker 2: were finn a second For me, I don't. I don't
1:02:32
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be this big old gap between them
1:02:35
Speaker 2: and the Indiapolis Colts. But I just believe in the
1:02:37
Speaker 2: Jaguars just slightly little bit more. I understand they fell off,
1:02:40
Speaker 2: but they've been to the They've been in tough situations before,
1:02:44
Speaker 2: and I believe they can bounce back this season. The
1:02:48
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts along their side. I think aar is gonna
1:02:53
Speaker 2: have a good season. I hope he stays healthy. I
1:02:55
Speaker 2: hope he's learned from last season of what he can
1:02:57
Speaker 2: and can't do. I don't know. I just the Colts,
1:03:02
Speaker 2: the Forest Buckner, Kennymore, They're really good. It's just this defense,
1:03:06
Speaker 2: I believe in the Jaguars defense is a little bit
1:03:08
Speaker 2: more than any Outis Colts defense, and that's the separator
1:03:11
Speaker 2: for me.
1:03:12
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well I could see that. So first thing
1:03:15
Speaker 1: and only thing we agree on is the Tennessee Titans
1:03:18
Speaker 1: finishing last in this division. But I feel like Will Levis,
1:03:21
Speaker 1: he is gonna make a jump. Yeah, if that makes sense, Yeah,
1:03:24
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna make a jump.
1:03:26
Speaker 2: Yeah. Clap it up for Will Levis, shout out to him.
1:03:30
Speaker 2: But yeah, Will cool Will.
1:03:33
Speaker 1: Yeah. That honestly, that is one of the bad or
1:03:37
Speaker 1: let me not cuss, that's one of the best nicknames
1:03:41
Speaker 1: so far. As far as from these young quarterbacks, I'm
1:03:43
Speaker 1: not gonna lie other than ar fifteen, which I'm gonna
1:03:46
Speaker 1: talk about. I'm gonna talk about it in a second.
1:03:49
Speaker 1: But yeah, Titans are finishing fourth. I have the Jaguars
1:03:52
Speaker 1: third here. And I know last week I was saying
1:03:57
Speaker 1: that Texans are gonna finish second in the the division
1:04:01
Speaker 1: and after looking at it, after looking at all the
1:04:04
Speaker 1: schedules and everything, I still have the Texans side.
1:04:07
Speaker 2: How did I know? How did I know?
1:04:09
Speaker 1: How do I know?
1:04:10
Speaker 2: How did I know You're gonna real our viewers in
1:04:13
Speaker 2: and then just disappoint them at the end. How did
1:04:16
Speaker 2: I know you're gonna do that? You what?
1:04:19
Speaker 1: What can I say? Like you said, I'm full of surprises.
1:04:22
Speaker 1: I have the Colts one, I have the Texans two,
1:04:26
Speaker 1: the Jaguars three, Titans four.
1:04:28
Speaker 2: And like I said, you're you're just like my dad
1:04:31
Speaker 2: when he used to be around. He was just realis say, like,
1:04:33
Speaker 2: do all this cool shit and you think, like, dang,
1:04:36
Speaker 2: he's really about to make a turning point and then boom,
1:04:39
Speaker 2: he just disappoints you. That's what you just did to
1:04:41
Speaker 2: our viewers right now, and it kissed me off.
1:04:45
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I don't know how to respond to that.
1:04:50
Speaker 1: But I think I think Anthony Richardson is gonna make
1:04:55
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback jump. He's gonna be up there
1:04:58
Speaker 1: with C. J. Stroud at the end of year, in
1:05:00
Speaker 1: my opinion. And I feel like this Colts, this Colts
1:05:04
Speaker 1: team versus the Texans team. I don't want to bring
1:05:06
Speaker 1: up what we brought up last last week, really, but
1:05:09
Speaker 1: I just feel like, there's not that much of a difference,
1:05:12
Speaker 1: and ar I just feel like he's gonna be the
1:05:15
Speaker 1: better quarterback at the end of the year. So yeah,
1:05:18
Speaker 1: Colts won, Texans two, Jacks three, Titans four, and yes,
1:05:23
Speaker 1: the Jaguars they're gonna have a bounce back year. But
1:05:26
Speaker 1: I think or you know what, I don't want to
1:05:28
Speaker 1: give away the playoff picture yet, So that's all I'm
1:05:31
Speaker 1: gonna say. So this last division in the AFC here
1:05:35
Speaker 1: which is notoriously known as one of the toughest divisions overall,
1:05:41
Speaker 1: which we're talking about, the AFC North, which features the
1:05:44
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cincinnati Bengals. So
1:05:50
Speaker 1: who's finishing one through four in this division here?
1:05:53
Speaker 2: Number one for me is gonna be the Baltimore Ravens.
1:05:55
Speaker 2: I believe that their offensive weapons, receiver wise, I think
1:06:02
Speaker 2: can be a lot better. I think that's that's the
1:06:04
Speaker 2: biggest issue. But I think the Ravens, if they run
1:06:06
Speaker 2: a lot more twelve personnel and bringing Isaiah likely more
1:06:09
Speaker 2: on the field, they kind of they can kind of
1:06:10
Speaker 2: make up for that, and if they do that, it'll
1:06:12
Speaker 2: be good. Derrick Henry is there now, so it ads
1:06:14
Speaker 2: them a more of a reliable option in the backfield
1:06:17
Speaker 2: for Lamar Jackson. Defensively, I believe they're still gonna be
1:06:20
Speaker 2: that team. They're still gonna be those dudes, and they're
1:06:22
Speaker 2: gonna finish within the top three top five of entire
1:06:25
Speaker 2: defenses in the entire NFL. Number two for me is
1:06:28
Speaker 2: gonna be the Cleveland Browns and the biggest there's no
1:06:30
Speaker 2: question marks besides the quarterback position. I believe the Cleveland
1:06:34
Speaker 2: Browns probably have the most complete team in all of
1:06:37
Speaker 2: football if we really sit there and look at every
1:06:39
Speaker 2: position by position, and the only thing that that you
1:06:41
Speaker 2: strike a question mark is is Deshaun Watson gonna turn
1:06:44
Speaker 2: back the clock? And I think that that's the biggest thing.
1:06:47
Speaker 2: If Deshaun Watson even is sixty five percent of what
1:06:51
Speaker 2: he used to be, that's enough of a quarterback to
1:06:53
Speaker 2: get you through a season and possibly be a contender.
1:06:57
Speaker 2: Because Deshaun Watson in his prime was a completely different baller.
1:07:01
Speaker 2: He was a baller. So if he can turn back
1:07:03
Speaker 2: the clock a little bit, then this brownce team is
1:07:06
Speaker 2: gonna be pretty scary for me. Number three I have
1:07:09
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bingle. I hate that word. The Bengals are
1:07:12
Speaker 2: here at number three. The Bengals are number three. You know,
1:07:18
Speaker 2: if they like we were talking if they was life
1:07:20
Speaker 2: or death and they asked me to say that word,
1:07:22
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna get I'm just gonna shoot me. Bro
1:07:24
Speaker 2: like to shoot me. I'm not I'm not making it
1:07:26
Speaker 2: like like so the Bengals from You're gonna finish three?
1:07:30
Speaker 2: And you know what they're Their offensive line I still
1:07:34
Speaker 2: think is a question mark. Is that's their biggest question
1:07:36
Speaker 2: mark year in and year out. And is Joe Burrow's health.
1:07:41
Speaker 2: Is he gonna be the same guy, because when you
1:07:43
Speaker 2: hurt your hand the way he did, the grip on
1:07:44
Speaker 2: the football becomes tough to restore. I wonder if how
1:07:48
Speaker 2: much he has changed going into this season, and we'll
1:07:52
Speaker 2: just have to see if he can stay healthy. I
1:07:55
Speaker 2: believe that they found a replacement for Tyler Boyden, probably
1:07:57
Speaker 2: possibly T Higgins because the way Jermain Burton's playing in
1:08:00
Speaker 2: this preseason, he is balling right now, and I think
1:08:02
Speaker 2: they're feeling comfortable with that third spot for sure, especially
1:08:05
Speaker 2: if T. Higgins doesn't show back up. So and then
1:08:10
Speaker 2: I think Chase Brown's gonna emerge as the top running
1:08:12
Speaker 2: back over Zach moss By seasons in and that's gonna
1:08:14
Speaker 2: be a good weapon. The question mark for me as
1:08:16
Speaker 2: I understand this defense, Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard, they
1:08:21
Speaker 2: kind of show they show out when they need to.
1:08:24
Speaker 2: I just think everything else around them is going to
1:08:26
Speaker 2: have to come together for this team to be completely successful,
1:08:29
Speaker 2: because I believe, ever since they lost Jesse Bates that
1:08:31
Speaker 2: back in in the safety position has been a little
1:08:33
Speaker 2: bit tough for them to restore their their quarnerbacks even
1:08:36
Speaker 2: to get the job done. But I believe, I just
1:08:39
Speaker 2: believe this division is so tough that they'll have to
1:08:41
Speaker 2: have a lot more answered than they do it right now.
1:08:44
Speaker 2: And as far as the Pittsburgh Steelers, the quarterback position
1:08:47
Speaker 2: and I believe the wide receiver position isn't strong. I
1:08:50
Speaker 2: get George Piggins has the potential to be a number one,
1:08:53
Speaker 2: but he hasn't completely shown it to me yet. And
1:08:56
Speaker 2: then outside of that, who's getting the ball Wilson rookie
1:09:02
Speaker 2: will have to wait and see Calvin Austen Like, it's
1:09:05
Speaker 2: just a lot more question marks for me than there
1:09:07
Speaker 2: is answers at that wide receiver position. And then the
1:09:10
Speaker 2: running backs the running backs are splitting carries right now.
1:09:12
Speaker 2: We don't know who the true number one is and
1:09:14
Speaker 2: maybe that's that's that is what's gonna be this season.
1:09:17
Speaker 2: And the defense is always gonna be good. The division
1:09:19
Speaker 2: is slim pickens like you you have to be perfect
1:09:23
Speaker 2: to make it out of this division. And the Steelers,
1:09:24
Speaker 2: if if they were in any other division they probably
1:09:26
Speaker 2: make they probably be at the top or competing for
1:09:29
Speaker 2: that second spot. But since they're in this one, I
1:09:31
Speaker 2: think the Ravens and Browns are gonna run through it.
1:09:34
Speaker 1: So I'll agree with you on this one. Who's finishing
1:09:37
Speaker 1: last in the division is the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think
1:09:40
Speaker 1: justin fields, Russell Wilson, whatever that combination, whoever's gonna start,
1:09:44
Speaker 1: I feel like it won't be enough, and there's gonna
1:09:46
Speaker 1: be inconsistent quarterback play. They're gonna be in a bunch
1:09:50
Speaker 1: of close games. I don't feel like they're ever gonna
1:09:52
Speaker 1: get blown out of the water, but I just think
1:09:55
Speaker 1: they won't be able to seal the deal, especially in
1:09:57
Speaker 1: the AFC, where quarterbacks it's a cream of the crop.
1:10:01
Speaker 1: You have quarterbacks the lower you have at least two
1:10:04
Speaker 1: to three in each division here But who I have
1:10:08
Speaker 1: third here is the Cleveland Browns, and like you said,
1:10:11
Speaker 1: they have one of the best rosters, but the biggest
1:10:13
Speaker 1: question mark is Deshaun Watson. And in my opinion, I
1:10:17
Speaker 1: feel like Deshaun Watson, even if he does take that
1:10:20
Speaker 1: next jump, I feel like he can't he can't make
1:10:24
Speaker 1: up for what Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow do. That's
1:10:26
Speaker 1: why I have those two teams ahead of the Cleveland
1:10:29
Speaker 1: Browns here. So who I have second in this division
1:10:34
Speaker 1: is the Baltimore Ravens. I feel like the Baltimore Ravens
1:10:37
Speaker 1: they're gonna take a little step back, a little step back,
1:10:41
Speaker 1: because now they're facing one of the toughest schedules in
1:10:44
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I'm not saying it's gonna be a
1:10:47
Speaker 1: bad jump or a bad step back. It's just tougher games,
1:10:51
Speaker 1: tougher schedule, and there's naturally a digression or degress when
1:10:58
Speaker 1: your defense was playing at this all time level pretty
1:11:02
Speaker 1: much last year. So I think they'll go from being
1:11:05
Speaker 1: historically one of the greatest defenses ever to maybe a
1:11:08
Speaker 1: top three, top five if that makes sense, which will
1:11:11
Speaker 1: lose you a couple more ballgames, which means I have
1:11:14
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals finishing first in this division. Yes, there
1:11:17
Speaker 1: is concerns about Joe Burrow and his health, but from
1:11:23
Speaker 1: what there has been as far as with camp and everything,
1:11:26
Speaker 1: it looks like it hasn't been a problem. So I
1:11:30
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna finish first in this division. And
1:11:32
Speaker 1: their strength to schedule is pretty good. They have a
1:11:36
Speaker 1: top ten easiest schedule in the NFL. So there's gonna
1:11:39
Speaker 1: be some games where it's just easy wins and the
1:11:43
Speaker 1: biggest or you know what, let me not get into it.
1:11:45
Speaker 1: Let me not get into it. That's what I have.
1:11:48
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about them in a little bit. So, yeah,
1:11:51
Speaker 1: Bengals won. Ravens two, Browns, three, Stellers four. But now
1:11:56
Speaker 1: let's get into our seedings here as far as one, three, seven,
1:12:00
Speaker 1: go and enlist your seedings in the AFC.
1:12:03
Speaker 2: Number one for me is gonna be the Kansas City Chiefs,
1:12:05
Speaker 2: Number two the Houston Texans. Number three will be the
1:12:09
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens, number four, the New York Jets. Number five
1:12:14
Speaker 2: for me will be the Miami Dolphins. Number six the
1:12:17
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns, and the number seven sneaking in will be
1:12:20
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills, I think. Okay, honorable mentions, Jags, Bengals, Raiders.
1:12:27
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, oh interesting, So number one I have the
1:12:31
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs as well. Number two I have the
1:12:35
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Three, I have the Colts, four, Bengals.
1:12:40
Speaker 1: Then for my wild or the teams that get in Texans, Ravens,
1:12:45
Speaker 1: and Bills. Who I have missed in the playoffs, Dolphins, Browns,
1:12:50
Speaker 1: and Jacks. Those are the ones who barely miss.
1:12:53
Speaker 2: So Dolphins are missing. That's crazy.
1:12:55
Speaker 1: I know, I know you're signing to I just feel
1:12:59
Speaker 1: like I don't, like I said, I feel like they're
1:13:03
Speaker 1: gonna get off to kind of a shaky start, and
1:13:06
Speaker 1: the Bills they're gonna just have that ground or they're
1:13:08
Speaker 1: gonna have that advantage at first, so they're gonna have
1:13:11
Speaker 1: to make up ground. So all right, now, let's talk
1:13:15
Speaker 1: about this playoff picture here, So going unless your playoff
1:13:18
Speaker 1: picture and who's making the super Bowl in the AFC.
1:13:22
Speaker 2: Well, for me, the the Chiefs have the buye. So
1:13:25
Speaker 2: they're gonna wait one more week. It's gonna be Texans
1:13:27
Speaker 2: versus Raiders, and I think the Texans win this game
1:13:29
Speaker 2: pretty decisively. I don't think it's gonna be a pretty
1:13:31
Speaker 2: close game, so I think I think they escape with
1:13:34
Speaker 2: that one pretty easily. Ravens versus Browns is gonna be
1:13:37
Speaker 2: a crazy matchup, but I'm taking the Cleveland Browns in
1:13:41
Speaker 2: this one. I think the Browns are gonna gonna outlast
1:13:43
Speaker 2: the Ravens in this game and they're gonna move on
1:13:45
Speaker 2: to the next round. It's gonna be a nasty, ugly,
1:13:48
Speaker 2: defensive affair. It's gonna be a boring game for casual watchers.
1:13:53
Speaker 2: So I think this is gonna be the Browns game
1:13:57
Speaker 2: and they're gonna win it. Jets versus Dolphins, So we
1:13:59
Speaker 2: have two divisional matchups in the divisional round, so Jets
1:14:03
Speaker 2: versus Dolphins, and I think the Jets are gonna win
1:14:05
Speaker 2: this one because it's gonna be in New York. It's
1:14:06
Speaker 2: gonna be cold, it's gonna be sleety, it's gonna be icy,
1:14:09
Speaker 2: it's gonna be nasty, and the Dolphins suck in the
1:14:11
Speaker 2: cold and Tua can't throw to save his life. So
1:14:14
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the New York Jets. And a Ross
1:14:16
Speaker 2: played nothing but cold in his entire NFL career, and
1:14:19
Speaker 2: he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna walk through the Dolphins
1:14:21
Speaker 2: in this game. So wild Card chief versus Browns. How
1:14:25
Speaker 2: you're doing, Keep moving? Chiefs win this one. Texans versus Jets.
1:14:30
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a fun game. It's gonna be a
1:14:31
Speaker 2: high scoring game. It's it's gonna it's gonna be dope
1:14:34
Speaker 2: to watch. And I'm gonna take the New York Jets
1:14:37
Speaker 2: in this one to make it to the AFC Championship.
1:14:39
Speaker 2: Like I said in our earlier pod over the the
1:14:45
Speaker 2: the East over the AFC East Podcast, And yeah, I
1:14:49
Speaker 2: think the Jets are gonna win this one. I think
1:14:51
Speaker 2: will have to wait another year for C. J. Stroud
1:14:53
Speaker 2: to get to that conference championship. And I think Aaron
1:14:55
Speaker 2: Rodgers is gonna be have that veteran, that veteran movement.
1:14:59
Speaker 2: And I think the Jets defense shows up big in
1:15:01
Speaker 2: this game. And so we have the Chiefs versus the Jets.
1:15:05
Speaker 2: How you're doing? Keep it moving? Okay, Ken City Chiefs
1:15:08
Speaker 2: are gonna win this game and we're gonna go to
1:15:11
Speaker 2: another super Bowl baby.
1:15:13
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, not a shocker, but I like the way
1:15:17
Speaker 1: that it played out as far as with the other teams.
1:15:20
Speaker 1: So who I have. In the first wild Card matchup,
1:15:23
Speaker 1: the Jets versus the Bills two versus seven. I think
1:15:26
Speaker 1: that the Jets they take care of business here. This
1:15:29
Speaker 1: defense is just gonna dominate and just better overall team,
1:15:32
Speaker 1: and the quarterback can match up as far as Aaron
1:15:35
Speaker 1: Rodgers can play just as good as Josh Allen. This
1:15:38
Speaker 1: next matchup the Colts versus the Ravens. Here, as much
1:15:42
Speaker 1: as I am high on Anthony Richardson, I feel like
1:15:44
Speaker 1: this experience, it will matter.
1:15:46
Speaker 2: And this defais Indianapolis.
1:15:49
Speaker 1: Yeah I forgot about that. Yeah, both were Colts at
1:15:52
Speaker 1: one point. But I feel like Lamar he's been there
1:15:56
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and he'll find a way to get
1:15:58
Speaker 1: it done.
1:15:59
Speaker 2: Yeah my bad.
1:16:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're good. Ravens. They beat the Colts, I
1:16:03
Speaker 1: feel like, not handily, but I feel like ten fourteen
1:16:07
Speaker 1: points something like that. Next game, which I feel like
1:16:10
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the best game out of the
1:16:12
Speaker 1: entire entire wild Card the Cincinnati Bengals versus a Houston Texans. Here,
1:16:19
Speaker 1: very high scoring game, very very high scoring game going
1:16:22
Speaker 1: back and forth. But I think the Bengals they take
1:16:25
Speaker 1: care of business here. Okay, so I have the Bengals
1:16:28
Speaker 1: moving on to the next round. And I have a
1:16:32
Speaker 1: rematch of the AFC Conference Championship last year, Chiefs versus Ravens.
1:16:37
Speaker 1: Chiefs State, they win this game, they win this game.
1:16:40
Speaker 1: I like that they're making it to the conference championship.
1:16:45
Speaker 1: Next game right here, the Jets versus the Bengals. This
1:16:50
Speaker 1: game will be very interesting right here, Jets versus Bengals
1:16:54
Speaker 1: right here. But I feel like, you know, there's just
1:16:57
Speaker 1: some players that just turn it on in the playoff
1:17:01
Speaker 1: and one of those guys is Joe Burrow. And Joe Burrow,
1:17:04
Speaker 1: he's gonna reach his third conference championship and go up
1:17:09
Speaker 1: against arrival that's been brewing on for a while, the
1:17:14
Speaker 1: Chiefs versus the Cincinnati Bengals here. So I hate to
1:17:21
Speaker 1: say it, Josh, I hate to say it. The Cincinnati
1:17:25
Speaker 1: Bengals are gonna take care of business here and beat
1:17:28
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead. There hasn't been many
1:17:32
Speaker 1: teams that could go into Arrowhead in the playoffs and
1:17:35
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs, but the Bengals are one of them,
1:17:38
Speaker 1: and they're gonna take care of business here and they're
1:17:41
Speaker 1: gonna So I have the Bengals going on to the
1:17:49
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and they are going to play the Dallas Cowboys.
1:17:54
Speaker 1: So I believe you have the Lions versus the Chiefs.
1:17:59
Speaker 1: If I'm right. For the people listening on audio, gestured
1:18:07
Speaker 1: off his camera.
1:18:10
Speaker 2: That was the most absolute dog shit take I have
1:18:14
Speaker 2: ever heard on this podcast in my entire life. And
1:18:17
Speaker 2: I heard some dog shit ones in my lifetime. And
1:18:20
Speaker 2: if you think the Bengals are gonna walk in to
1:18:25
Speaker 2: a team where Mahomes has had his best wide receiver
1:18:29
Speaker 2: core in his entire career, you're mistaken, buddy, and they're
1:18:33
Speaker 2: gonna win this. They're gonna win that game, and they're
1:18:35
Speaker 2: gonna win it by a lot. Let me tell you
1:18:39
Speaker 2: and Holmes, Okay, first first Conference championship, if Mahomes didn't
1:18:43
Speaker 2: have his worst collapse, his worst game of his entire career,
1:18:47
Speaker 2: where I guess we can Buccaneers slashed that out because
1:18:51
Speaker 2: he was bawling and just the rest of the team
1:18:53
Speaker 2: sucked that game. But if we're gonna do Bengals versus Chiefs,
1:18:58
Speaker 2: first game, we were up twenty eight points he collapsed,
1:19:01
Speaker 2: I will say that he absolutely did not show up
1:19:04
Speaker 2: in that second half, worst game. What happened the next
1:19:06
Speaker 2: season dub Skis baby. You know what happened, Skis Baby,
1:19:10
Speaker 2: That's gonna happen again this season. It's gonna happen again
1:19:13
Speaker 2: this season, and we're gonna go to another super Bowl,
1:19:17
Speaker 2: no matter what you have to say, Alonso.
1:19:20
Speaker 1: It's a coin, it's a it's a pick them game.
1:19:23
Speaker 1: It's a pick them game. It was tough, tough.
1:19:26
Speaker 2: And you're picking wrong. You're picking wrong. I'm telling you,
1:19:29
Speaker 2: you're just picking wrong.
1:19:31
Speaker 1: Okay, before we give away our super Bowl picks here,
1:19:35
Speaker 1: let's go in and list our awards.
1:19:37
Speaker 2: Here, Okay, because I want to. I want to spoild
1:19:40
Speaker 2: our super Bowl.
1:19:41
Speaker 1: Picks here because we already know which teams are making
1:19:43
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But Josh, go and list your MVP here.
1:19:49
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be your MVP?
1:19:52
Speaker 2: All right? If I can't pick the Glorious King Patrick
1:19:56
Speaker 2: Levaughn Mahomes, I'm gonna pick. So he's first for me, obviously,
1:20:01
Speaker 2: So I'll go ahead, an I'll go to another person for
1:20:04
Speaker 2: the sake of the podcast.
1:20:05
Speaker 1: Stand on business. If you think it's Mahomes, say it's Mahomes.
1:20:10
Speaker 2: You know, I always think it's gonna be Mahomes. But
1:20:13
Speaker 2: I just gotta give another answer, just so you can
1:20:15
Speaker 2: see where my other mindset is. Like if I was,
1:20:19
Speaker 2: if I was, if I was stupid, this is what
1:20:22
Speaker 2: I would pick. You know, this is what I would pick.
1:20:25
Speaker 2: But I'm not stupid. My brain does not is not stupid. Okay,
1:20:29
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give another opposite universe of stupidity where
1:20:34
Speaker 2: someone else wins MVP. Okay, and it's gonna be Josh Allen.
1:20:38
Speaker 2: I think Josh Allen is gonna win MVP. And I
1:20:40
Speaker 2: hate to say, I do not like that guy. I don't.
1:20:43
Speaker 2: I don't like anything he stands for. I don't even
1:20:46
Speaker 2: like the way that he looks. Okay, I don't like
1:20:48
Speaker 2: I don't like that he plays football good. Sometimes I
1:20:50
Speaker 2: don't like. I like it when he plays football bad.
1:20:53
Speaker 2: I really love it. I love when he plays football terribly.
1:20:56
Speaker 2: I really do love it when he plays football terribly.
1:20:59
Speaker 2: But he's gonna do a lot of good this season
1:21:02
Speaker 2: because he's gonna have to do a lot of good.
1:21:03
Speaker 2: And I think, I think the voters, I think the
1:21:05
Speaker 2: league is gonna realize it that what he's working with,
1:21:08
Speaker 2: and if he's gonna finish lead this team to the playoffs,
1:21:12
Speaker 2: I think Josh Allen wins MVP this season, and he
1:21:14
Speaker 2: has his best year of his entire career so far.
1:21:17
Speaker 2: If I was in a stupid universe, if I was
1:21:19
Speaker 2: in a stupid universe where Mahomes doesn't win MVP, I
1:21:22
Speaker 2: would pick Josh Allen.
1:21:24
Speaker 1: So I was debating between Josh Allen and this other
1:21:28
Speaker 1: guy right here, and I end up choosing this other
1:21:31
Speaker 1: guy here. Yeah, exactly in the pot. No, But so
1:21:37
Speaker 1: I was debating between Josh Allen and this other guy
1:21:39
Speaker 1: right here, and I picked this other guy. I really
1:21:41
Speaker 1: do think that he's gonna ball out this year, and
1:21:44
Speaker 1: just the way it's shaping up, it's gonna be the
1:21:46
Speaker 1: perfect storyline because obviously there's some narrative that goes into
1:21:50
Speaker 1: the MVP. And this guy that I'm talking about is
1:21:53
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I think Joe Burrow he's gonna win the MVP.
1:21:57
Speaker 1: They're gonna be throwing the ball like crazy. We saw
1:22:00
Speaker 1: with this backfield that they have. They may have Chase
1:22:02
Speaker 1: Brown and Zach Moss there, but it's gonna be Joe
1:22:05
Speaker 1: Burrow dependent and I feel like that's gonna get the
1:22:08
Speaker 1: job done and he's gonna get this MVP. But I
1:22:10
Speaker 1: can see Josh Allen winning this MVP, But as far
1:22:14
Speaker 1: as Offensive Player and Defensive Player of the Year, who
1:22:18
Speaker 1: are these two guys for you? Who's winning this?
1:22:22
Speaker 2: Okay? I struggled with this one a little bit because
1:22:26
Speaker 2: Tyreek's getting up there in the age. Who knows if
1:22:27
Speaker 2: he can withstand a whole nother season doing the same
1:22:30
Speaker 2: workload he's been getting. So I didn't. I didn't. I
1:22:32
Speaker 2: didn't put him to win Offense Player of the Year.
1:22:34
Speaker 2: I had Justin Jefferson. I haven't released it as number
1:22:37
Speaker 2: one right here, but after thinking about it and pondering it,
1:22:40
Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough when you're the main assignment, when
1:22:43
Speaker 2: people are gonna be double teaming you. Sam Donald is
1:22:46
Speaker 2: Sam Donald is gonna we don't know, we don't know,
1:22:50
Speaker 2: we don't know. So I'm taking Justin Jefferson out out
1:22:53
Speaker 2: of the equation right here. And I was gonna say
1:22:56
Speaker 2: B John Robinson. I was gonna say B Jon Robinson.
1:22:58
Speaker 2: I really was gonna say B John Robinson. But you know,
1:23:05
Speaker 2: it's just hard out here for a player when you
1:23:07
Speaker 2: have to pick almanaras Saint Brown to win Offensive Player
1:23:10
Speaker 2: of the Year and also get the Triple Crown. Because
1:23:13
Speaker 2: he's just that good of a football player. He's just
1:23:16
Speaker 2: that No, he's not gonna get that many touchdowns. So
1:23:18
Speaker 2: I think he can lead the league in yards and
1:23:23
Speaker 2: chards a lot too. Receptions, for sure, he can lead
1:23:25
Speaker 2: the league in receptions, That's for sure. That is the
1:23:28
Speaker 2: sun God will lead the league in receptions. Put that
1:23:30
Speaker 2: on a map, put that on the statistical boarding. At
1:23:33
Speaker 2: the end of the season, Almanroe Saint Brown will lead
1:23:36
Speaker 2: the league interceptions. But I think he gets a cool cool,
1:23:39
Speaker 2: a cool fifty hundred, a cool fifteen hundred and twelve hutters.
1:23:44
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have a good year. I think
1:23:45
Speaker 2: he'll finish OFFENSI Player of the Year because you know
1:23:48
Speaker 2: what said it. My brain said it, and that's why
1:23:50
Speaker 2: Almanas Saint Brown is gonna win Offensive Player of the Year.
1:23:53
Speaker 1: Okay, So I had a tough time debating between this one.
1:23:57
Speaker 1: There was five different guys that I had one, one
1:24:01
Speaker 1: of them being Ceedee, Lamb, a'm Nra, Jamar, Chase Brisall
1:24:05
Speaker 1: and Bijon.
1:24:07
Speaker 2: You didn't pick any of them, did No.
1:24:11
Speaker 1: I was trying to be I was trying to be
1:24:14
Speaker 1: unbiased here. I wanted to go Ceede Lamb.
1:24:17
Speaker 2: Do you think what do you think I was doing?
1:24:19
Speaker 2: What do you think I was doing? Bro?
1:24:21
Speaker 1: I wanted to go ceedee Lamb here? But last year?
1:24:24
Speaker 1: What he If he didn't win Offensive Player of the
1:24:26
Speaker 1: Year last year, then I feel like he's not gonna
1:24:28
Speaker 1: win it this year because there's gonna be even more
1:24:31
Speaker 1: attention on him. I think, I really do think that Brisall,
1:24:35
Speaker 1: He's gonna win Offensive Player of the Year this year.
1:24:38
Speaker 2: Wow, I really do think so.
1:24:39
Speaker 1: I feel like he's gonna have another great year behind
1:24:43
Speaker 1: a fully helped or a great offensive line in my opinion,
1:24:46
Speaker 1: top ten, and he's gonna show why he was one
1:24:50
Speaker 1: of the best running backs in the league last year.
1:24:52
Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna win Offensive Player of the Year.
1:24:55
Speaker 1: And you could argue, you could argue any of those
1:24:58
Speaker 1: four guys like I mentioned cd, A'm, Jamar and bijon
1:25:01
Speaker 1: them being offensi Player of the Year. But I think
1:25:03
Speaker 1: Breese as far as reception wise and as far as
1:25:06
Speaker 1: rushing the ball, it's just a different dynamic. But all right,
1:25:11
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year for you, who's winning this award?
1:25:15
Speaker 2: For me, this was the toughest one. I don't know
1:25:18
Speaker 2: which way to which way I'm gonna go. I think
1:25:20
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go back to back Defensive Player of the
1:25:22
Speaker 2: Year for Miles Garrett. I think he's gonna he's He's
1:25:25
Speaker 2: I don't I feel like there's four right answers here.
1:25:30
Speaker 2: I think there's legit four right answers. My five, there's
1:25:34
Speaker 2: five right answers. Miles Garrett, Chris Jones, Nick Bosa, T
1:25:37
Speaker 2: J Watt, Michael Parsons. I think those five are always
1:25:40
Speaker 2: gonna be at the top. I mean, yeah, So for me,
1:25:43
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Miles Garrett. I think he's gonna
1:25:45
Speaker 2: he's gonna repeat what he did last season. I think
1:25:47
Speaker 2: he's gonna lead that defense to being one of the
1:25:50
Speaker 2: top defenses in the NFL. He could even I think
1:25:52
Speaker 2: he can get close to twenty sacks this season. And
1:25:56
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just think he's he's too consistent.
1:25:58
Speaker 2: He's too much at the top every single year. All
1:26:01
Speaker 2: these guys are. I mean, I have Chris Jones second,
1:26:04
Speaker 2: and that's not even being biased. I really do think
1:26:06
Speaker 2: what he does on the defensive side of the ball,
1:26:08
Speaker 2: wreaking havoc on the interior, still still being up there
1:26:12
Speaker 2: in sacks every single season while being double teamed and
1:26:15
Speaker 2: then just all the pressures he gets. But I think
1:26:17
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett just is so good at football that he's
1:26:20
Speaker 2: just gonna win another Defensive Player of the year.
1:26:22
Speaker 1: Okay, that's hard to disagree with, but Michah Parsons winning
1:26:26
Speaker 1: this damn defensive Player of the Year here, He's finally
1:26:28
Speaker 1: gonna get these to He's finally gonna get the job done.
1:26:32
Speaker 1: And he's increased his number of sacks every single year.
1:26:35
Speaker 1: He went from eleven and a half to twelve and
1:26:37
Speaker 1: a half to thirteen and a half. I think he's
1:26:39
Speaker 1: gonna get fifteen plus this year because you actually have
1:26:43
Speaker 1: linebackers around him, You actually have the defensive tackles around
1:26:47
Speaker 1: him that are gonna cause some attention. So Michah Parsons,
1:26:50
Speaker 1: he's gonna get more of those one on ones, which
1:26:53
Speaker 1: he shouldn't get those one on ones, but he's gonna
1:26:55
Speaker 1: get those. And that's why I think he's gonna get
1:26:57
Speaker 1: fifteen plus sacks and end up winning the Defensive Player
1:27:00
Speaker 1: of the Year right here. But like you said, real
1:27:03
Speaker 1: real talk here, Miles Garrett, Nick Bosa, TJ Watt, these guys,
1:27:09
Speaker 1: they're just so dominant and if you would have picked
1:27:12
Speaker 1: any of those five in my opinion, then it's like
1:27:15
Speaker 1: you said, it's not a wrong answer. But coach of
1:27:18
Speaker 1: the year here. Coach of the year. This one's a
1:27:21
Speaker 1: little bit different because it doesn't go to kind of
1:27:24
Speaker 1: like the NBA, It doesn't go to the best or
1:27:27
Speaker 1: the best team. It goes to kind of a team
1:27:30
Speaker 1: that was a little bit of a shocker here, you
1:27:32
Speaker 1: know what I mean, or a team that made an improvement.
1:27:35
Speaker 1: So do you want me to list my coach of
1:27:37
Speaker 1: the year first or do you want to go.
1:27:40
Speaker 2: You go first? You can go first.
1:27:42
Speaker 1: Okay. So the coach of year that I have right here,
1:27:45
Speaker 1: he was kind of on the hot seat last year.
1:27:46
Speaker 1: I have Matt Eberflus, Matt ebra Flus. The reason why
1:27:49
Speaker 1: I have him there, the Chicago Bears head coach is
1:27:52
Speaker 1: because I think the Bears are going to make this
1:27:54
Speaker 1: jump and go into the playoffs here with Caleb Williams
1:27:57
Speaker 1: and his rookie year. So this team I've slowly been
1:28:00
Speaker 1: building up because last year they got up to eight wins.
1:28:03
Speaker 1: If I believe so, I think they're gonna get the
1:28:05
Speaker 1: double digit mark. And that's what's gonna make him Coach
1:28:08
Speaker 1: of the Year.
1:28:12
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, for me, we're in a stupid universe where
1:28:15
Speaker 2: I can't pick Andy Reid after he goes twenty and
1:28:17
Speaker 2: oh to be coach of the Year. I'll have to
1:28:20
Speaker 2: pick someone else, obviously, if I'm in a dumb universe,
1:28:22
Speaker 2: and if I'm in a universe it doesn't make any sense.
1:28:25
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick Rob Sala to be my coach of
1:28:28
Speaker 2: the year because I believe the jump that the Jets
1:28:31
Speaker 2: are gonna take is gonna be I don't understand Aaron Rodgers.
1:28:36
Speaker 2: That jump is gonna be mainly because of him. But
1:28:39
Speaker 2: Rob Sala is a good football coach. He's a good
1:28:41
Speaker 2: defensive coach bar Nunn and I believe he I don't think.
1:28:45
Speaker 2: I think the situations he's been given offensively I've hurt
1:28:47
Speaker 2: him quite a bit. But I think it's all gonna
1:28:50
Speaker 2: come together this season and he's gonna be recognized for it,
1:28:53
Speaker 2: and he's gonna win Coach of the Year.
1:28:54
Speaker 1: Okay, I really do like that pick there. But as
1:28:57
Speaker 1: far as let's go in and get into in.
1:29:00
Speaker 2: A stupid universe, guys, in a stupid universe, just so yo.
1:29:04
Speaker 1: In a universe that's made believe. But as far as rookies,
1:29:08
Speaker 1: here we have Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive
1:29:12
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. Who are your two guys for
1:29:15
Speaker 1: these two awards?
1:29:17
Speaker 2: So Offensive Rookie of the Year, I have Caleb Williams.
1:29:20
Speaker 2: I think being a quarterback and having Remodens and the
1:29:23
Speaker 2: team around him, he's just set up to succeed. And
1:29:26
Speaker 2: plus he has the talent, So I think for him
1:29:28
Speaker 2: it's gonna be the easiest route to win Offensive Rookie
1:29:31
Speaker 2: of the Year. And I think he will run Offensive
1:29:33
Speaker 2: Rookie the Year because I think the Bears are gonna
1:29:35
Speaker 2: be a lot more, a lot better than they were
1:29:36
Speaker 2: last season, and they're gonna make a jump and it's
1:29:40
Speaker 2: gonna be because of partly mainly because of his play.
1:29:43
Speaker 2: And I think he's gonna he's gonna win Offensive Rookie
1:29:45
Speaker 2: of the Year. As for me, Defensive Rookie of the Year,
1:29:47
Speaker 2: it was a little bit of the hardest one. I
1:29:50
Speaker 2: could have said Jaden Hicks, but I didn't. Yeah, so
1:29:53
Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I think I'm gonna go
1:29:57
Speaker 2: with Dallas Turner. I I think he's he I think
1:30:02
Speaker 2: he's gonna play a big role on Minnesota's defensive side
1:30:05
Speaker 2: of the ball, and I think he's gonna be one
1:30:08
Speaker 2: of the bright spots on this defensive team. And I
1:30:10
Speaker 2: think he'll have sort of like the Will Anderson type
1:30:12
Speaker 2: of play last season.
1:30:15
Speaker 1: So, like you're mentioning offensive Rookie of the Year, I've
1:30:19
Speaker 1: been high on this guy. It's gonna be Kaller Williams,
1:30:21
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. I feel like he's gonna just dominate. But
1:30:24
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Jaden Daniels he kind of
1:30:27
Speaker 1: makes a late push this year because I feel like
1:30:29
Speaker 1: he has that upside. I don't see Drake may Bo
1:30:32
Speaker 1: Nicks and these other guys. But as far as defensive
1:30:36
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year right here, this one's kind of
1:30:38
Speaker 1: just a flyer here. I think lotso Lats from the
1:30:41
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. I think that he's gonna make a push.
1:30:44
Speaker 1: He fell down in the draft because of injuries. He
1:30:47
Speaker 1: has all the talent and tangibles there, and I think
1:30:50
Speaker 1: that's gonna show With the Indianapolis Colts. I think he's
1:30:52
Speaker 1: gonna be one of their key pieces and he's gonna
1:30:55
Speaker 1: win that defensive Rookie of the year.
1:30:58
Speaker 2: But this last award that we.
1:30:59
Speaker 1: Have right here is Comeback Player of the Year award,
1:31:02
Speaker 1: and I think we may agree on this one. So
1:31:04
Speaker 1: who's your Comeback Player of the Year.
1:31:07
Speaker 2: If it's not Aaron Rodgers, And I don't know who
1:31:09
Speaker 2: else is gonna win comeback player there, Nick Chubb, maybe TJ.
1:31:12
Speaker 2: Hawkins and if they go scorch Earth when they come back.
1:31:14
Speaker 2: But if we both have the Jets making it pretty deep,
1:31:18
Speaker 2: making a playoff run, and then I'm finishing fresh in
1:31:20
Speaker 2: the division, It's easily gonna be mister Aaron Rodgers.
1:31:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Nothing else say, Like, I think.
1:31:25
Speaker 2: He probably has probably like the lowest odds and like
1:31:27
Speaker 2: comeback Player of the year history besides Alex Smith. Maybe
1:31:31
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like he probably has to have the lowest.
1:31:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure. But all right now we
1:31:38
Speaker 1: got our awards out of the way. Josh, you have
1:31:41
Speaker 1: the Lions versus the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't know
1:31:48
Speaker 1: why I'm asking this question. Who's winning the Super Bowl
1:31:51
Speaker 1: this year?
1:31:53
Speaker 2: Let me cook?
1:31:54
Speaker 1: Okay, cook, let's see you cook.
1:31:56
Speaker 2: In a matchup where Alman Rol Saint Brown plays exquid.
1:32:00
Speaker 2: Is it great football? Just good football? In general, it's
1:32:03
Speaker 2: gonna be a matchup of generations between him and Trim McDuffie.
1:32:06
Speaker 2: It's just gonna be some of the most beautiful one
1:32:09
Speaker 2: on one wide receiver versus cornerback play that we've ever
1:32:14
Speaker 2: seen in the history of the NFL. It's just gonna
1:32:16
Speaker 2: be so amazing that you put it up there with
1:32:19
Speaker 2: Moss and and and whoever else was he was guardian,
1:32:23
Speaker 2: I don't know, but we put up there with Dion
1:32:25
Speaker 2: Sanders and Jerry Rice. You put it up there with
1:32:29
Speaker 2: Michael Irvin and Dion Sanders. You put it up there
1:32:33
Speaker 2: with Calvin Johnson and Champ Bailey. You put it up there.
1:32:35
Speaker 2: You put up there with those likes of individuals that
1:32:38
Speaker 2: have met up across each other and balled out. Darrell
1:32:41
Speaker 2: Reeves versus Calvin Johnson. You put it up there, and
1:32:44
Speaker 2: you just admire ball. You admire football. But sadly and happily,
1:32:54
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs are gonna beat the Detroit Lions
1:32:57
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl and they're gonna win. They're gonna
1:32:59
Speaker 2: complete something that no team has ever done before. And
1:33:03
Speaker 2: Mahomes is gonna win yet another Super Bowl MVP, and
1:33:06
Speaker 2: they're gonna walk away champions and Mahomes is gonna have
1:33:10
Speaker 2: four super Bowls in six seasons. It's gonna be it's
1:33:14
Speaker 2: gonna be magnificent. It's just gonna beautiful to watch. Not
1:33:17
Speaker 2: that Bengals bullshit you're about to bring up here.
1:33:19
Speaker 1: In a minute, but like realistic they're talking about if
1:33:27
Speaker 1: the if the Lions and Chiefs they do match up,
1:33:31
Speaker 1: if Patrick Mahomes wins that four super Bowl in six years,
1:33:34
Speaker 1: this is some unprecedented stuff. As far as three pete,
1:33:38
Speaker 1: this would be something where honestly, if Patrick Mahomes wins
1:33:43
Speaker 1: the super Bowl this year, I'm not I'm not gonna yeah,
1:33:46
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna wait to say it.
1:33:47
Speaker 2: I think he's the greatest of all time.
1:33:50
Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm talking about. No, but yeah,
1:33:58
Speaker 1: I think Patrick Mahomes, if he does that, he's the
1:34:01
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback of all time. I know Tom Brady, they're
1:34:04
Speaker 1: gonna say seven is more than four, but don't do that.
1:34:08
Speaker 2: The tape.
1:34:10
Speaker 1: The tape exactly, and nobody has ever threepeed in the NFL.
1:34:14
Speaker 1: And if Mahomes does.
1:34:15
Speaker 2: That, tom Brady behind the back pass.
1:34:19
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. But all right, so my super
1:34:24
Speaker 1: Bowl matchup here. The Dallas Cowboys versus the Cincinnati Bengals
1:34:30
Speaker 1: don't do it in the Superdome, in the Superdome in
1:34:34
Speaker 1: New Orleans, so kind of Southern, kind of favoring the
1:34:38
Speaker 1: Cowboys here. So obviously Bengals Cowboys quarterbacks that kind of
1:34:44
Speaker 1: do matchup receiver see Lamb, Jamar Chase, they match up.
1:34:48
Speaker 1: They do, They really do. As far as coaches, it's
1:34:52
Speaker 1: kind of a wash in my opinion. Zach Taylor, Mike McCarthy.
1:34:56
Speaker 1: I feel like the Bengals, they're they're really gonna get
1:34:59
Speaker 1: out to strong lead here against the Cowboys. But it's
1:35:04
Speaker 1: not gonna matter. It's not going it's not going matter.
1:35:09
Speaker 1: It's not.
1:35:13
Speaker 2: That's what the Bengals are. They ain't nothing.
1:35:16
Speaker 1: And this is this is the first time I'm saying
1:35:21
Speaker 1: on this pod on business, Cowboys are going to win
1:35:26
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals.
1:35:30
Speaker 2: If it was a stupid universal.
1:35:32
Speaker 1: And the Super Bowl MVP is going to be Dakota
1:35:37
Speaker 1: Rain Prescott. He is going to win it, and he's
1:35:41
Speaker 1: gonna get damn eighty million dollars after this year on
1:35:45
Speaker 1: a contract year ceede. Lamb's gonna get paid a lot.
1:35:48
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to cuss here. Michael Parts is gonna
1:35:50
Speaker 1: get paid a lot, and so.
1:35:52
Speaker 2: I was gonna happen, but the Bengals pissed me off.
1:35:55
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen.
1:35:56
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen this year, Yep, yep, and I'm gonna
1:35:59
Speaker 2: be there for it. I'm a rock dead Brian Jersey
1:36:00
Speaker 2: that day. I'm a Rockert dead Bryant Jersey that day
1:36:03
Speaker 2: if it happens. I hate the Bengals. I hate the
1:36:07
Speaker 2: Bengals like I hate looking at him. I hate looking
1:36:10
Speaker 2: at him. They're just they orange and orange and black.
1:36:15
Speaker 1: Like, Oh, I thought you were gonna do it all right.

1:38:21
Speaker 2: my left back. My linebackers are gonna be Frederick Warner,
1:38:25
Speaker 2: Rokwan Smith, and I believe Patrick Quinn is gonna murder
1:38:28
Speaker 2: as the top linebacker in the NFL after his season
1:38:31
Speaker 2: with the Pittsburgh Sailers being a number one there for me.
1:38:35
Speaker 2: My cornerbacks are gonna be Sauce Gardner and Patrick's certain
1:38:39
Speaker 2: and my slot cornerback is gonna be none other than
1:38:41
Speaker 2: the best in the game, Trip McDuffie number two two,

1:39:14
Speaker 1: I have Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow obviously, I have him
1:39:17

1:39:27

1:39:35
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm not mad at mister Tray mcbreezy here.
1:39:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're t This is a trade McBride fan club here,
1:39:43
Speaker 1: Trey McBride park.
1:39:44
Speaker 2: I could have put Jared whiley I could have put
1:39:46
Speaker 2: Jared Wiley.
1:39:47
Speaker 1: You should have put Jared wide.
1:39:49
Speaker 2: The coronation hasn't happened yet. The coronation hasn't happened. Okay,
1:39:53
Speaker 2: you're right, you're right, you're right.
1:39:54
Speaker 1: As far as my three receivers here, I have I'm
1:39:58
Speaker 1: on Ross Saint Brown, Jamar Chase and CD Lamb here,
1:40:02
Speaker 1: so pretty much the same lists other than Jamar and

Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson left, left tackle, Tyler Guidon, left guard, Tyler Smith, center,
1:40:11
Speaker 1: Cooper Beebe, right guard, Zach Martin, right tackle Terrence Still

1:40:27
Speaker 1: right guard, mis Reliable Zach Martin, and right tackle Punna's Seul.
1:40:31
Speaker 1: As far as my defensive ends, I got Micah and
1:40:34
Speaker 1: TJ here DT's I got miss so reliable always gets
1:40:38
Speaker 1: all pros here Chris Jones and Dexter Lawrence. As far
1:40:42
Speaker 1: as linebackers, we agree with the first two, Fred Warner,
1:40:46
Speaker 1: Rokwan Smith. Then I have a little bit of a
1:40:48
Speaker 1: sleeper here, Zaire Franklin from the Colts. I feel like
1:40:52
Speaker 1: you can give first team All Pro kind of a
1:40:53
Speaker 1: dart throw there. Then cornerbacks, I do have Sauce Gardner
1:40:57
Speaker 1: and Trim McDuffie. But this this last one I'm kind
1:41:06
Speaker 1: of conflicted on with these two. And it's Jalen Johnson
1:41:09
Speaker 1: and Travon Diggs, and I was thinking, oh, this is
1:41:14
Speaker 1: a Bias podcast. So we're going with Trevon Diggs here.
1:41:17
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a bounce back. Even after that Sel,
1:41:19
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a bounce back.
1:41:20
Speaker 2: We are the business standards. We're business standards here. We
1:41:25
Speaker 2: stand on our business.
1:41:26
Speaker 1: We stand on business here, sir, all right, safety is
1:41:29
Speaker 1: here and Twine Winfield. He was the highest paid safety
1:41:33
Speaker 1: in the league for a little bit for a reason.
1:41:35
Speaker 1: Then my other safety it's gonna be Kyle Hamilton as well.
1:41:39
Speaker 1: And as far as the kicker here, I'm gonna go
1:41:42
Speaker 1: Brandon Aubrey. Obviously a sixty six yard field goal. He
1:41:48
Speaker 1: could have made it from seventy two. All I'm saying.
1:41:51
Speaker 1: All I'm saying, I haven't seen Harrison Butker do that.
1:41:54
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.
1:41:55
Speaker 2: And as far as he kicked sixty four yarder.
1:41:59
Speaker 1: That's two. That's two less yards, just saying, just saying.
1:42:03
Speaker 2: It also has three Super Bowls. What does Brandon Harbrey
1:42:05
Speaker 2: have not ship? Not ship on his finger? He also
1:42:08
Speaker 2: isn't getting paid like Harrison Booker, just saying, oh, you're you're.
1:42:12
Speaker 1: Right about that. He's probably about to get paid soon.
1:42:15
Speaker 1: But as far as punter, I'm not gonna lie I
1:42:17
Speaker 1: didn't put down punter, so I'm gonna disagree with the
1:42:19
Speaker 1: unput matter rising. He must be called the punt guy.
1:42:23
Speaker 1: So yeeah. But all right, that's our all pro team
1:42:27
Speaker 1: right there. I don't know if you have anything else
1:42:29
Speaker 1: left to say from this entire episode right here, any
1:42:34
Speaker 1: last words? Really? No?
1:42:36
Speaker 2: I know we have so called m vps.
1:42:38
Speaker 1: No, we have.
1:42:39
Speaker 2: That's it, all right, that's it. So I named my
1:42:44
Speaker 2: sol called MVP.
1:42:46
Speaker 1: Okay, oh no, we'll so called MVPs do him every week.
1:42:49
Speaker 1: Who's yours?
1:42:50
Speaker 2: Josh Becky G. That's my so called MVP. Hey, I
1:42:54
Speaker 2: got her be G's husband. You know she's coming. She's
1:42:57
Speaker 2: coming to see me, you know, in Middland exactly. That's
1:43:01
Speaker 2: why she's the MVP exactly.
1:43:04
Speaker 1: But all right, my so called MVP here, it's gonna
1:43:08
Speaker 1: be Brandon Aubrey. Like I was mentioning, sixty six yard
1:43:10
Speaker 1: field goal could have made it from seventy two. What
1:43:13
Speaker 1: a dog gonna be the greatest kicker of all time.
1:43:16
Speaker 1: I'm lying, don't quote me on that, but dude's a dog.
1:43:20
Speaker 1: And honestly, I think that Mike McCarthy he may send
1:43:24
Speaker 1: him out there from sixty plus after after that, realistically,
1:43:29
Speaker 1: But all right, Josh, we listened.
1:43:31
Speaker 2: Are so called MVPs.
1:43:32
Speaker 1: You have any last words to say before we end.
1:43:34
Speaker 2: This now, y'all just be smart in y'alls fantasy drafts.
1:43:39
Speaker 2: Don't do anything dumb, don't be dumb, don't reach. Don't
1:43:43
Speaker 2: draft players you love unless they're really good and they're
1:43:48
Speaker 2: they're okay to be. But other than that, do not
1:43:55
Speaker 2: make bias picks. We are a biased sports podcast, but
1:43:57
Speaker 2: we are not biased fantasy football drafters. We are not
1:44:01
Speaker 2: those people in this podcast. We are smart drafters. Let's
1:44:05
Speaker 2: make smart decisions and not look like dumbasses. Okay, guys,
1:44:09
Speaker 2: that's all. That's all this advice i'm gonna give y'all.
1:44:11
Speaker 2: Do your research, do it.
1:44:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great way to end it off. You
1:44:15
Speaker 1: know what, Clap it up, Clap it up that is.
1:44:19
Speaker 1: That's that's a perfect way to end it there, Josh.
