Let me just turn me camera to the side.
0:49
Uh, welcome to the Audible. Um, wow.
0:52
It's it's it's been a bit of a mental
0:53
week for us. Um, we we'll go through
0:56
that later. Um, we're only on YouTube.
0:58
For [snorts] some reason, Facebook's
0:59
kicked us off. Um, so I've just shared
1:02
on my YouTube. I'm sure Lee's going to
1:03
do that right now.
1:05
>> Um, how are you, mate? Happy New Year.
1:08
All that jazz.
1:09
>> Happy Happy New Year. Merry Christmas.
1:11
All that jazz. Yeah. Do
1:12
>> you know what, mate? I've eaten enough
1:14
turkey this this this Christmas.
1:16
>> Do you know what? that diet, that diet's
1:18
gone right out the window, isn't it?
1:20
>> So, obviously I I lost quite a lot of
1:22
weight last year. So, like for me, it
1:23
was like, you know what, I'm going to
1:24
going to full on enjoy myself. Um,
1:27
>> I'm the same. I I lost I lost nearly
1:29
five stone last year as well. So, it's
1:31
it's it's been a mad year for weight
1:33
loss
1:34
>> in the most in the most PG way ever. I
1:37
can see my manhood without a mirror now.
1:38
It's great.
1:41
>> Oh, that's impressive.
1:43
>> Did you get that? That was a funny joke
1:44
and you didn't laugh. It's okay. Don't
1:45
worry.
1:46
I got it, mate. I got it.
1:48
>> I got it. I got it. [laughter]
1:50
>> We're having a bit of glitching here.
1:53
Ste, we're hoping Steve joins us at some
1:55
point.
1:56
>> I don't I think there's a bit of a
1:58
delay. Can you hear me?
2:00
>> I can hear you good, mate.
2:01
>> Okay. Okay. Um, but what a week for for
2:05
American football. Um, I mean, football,
2:07
we don't call it American football, we
2:09
call it football. We were just talking
2:10
before we went on the show. There were
2:12
there was um there was there was some
2:14
some crazy results. Um I I mean there
2:17
was some predictable results, don't get
2:18
me wrong. Um there was some embarrassing
2:20
results, but should we uh should we get
2:23
into it?
2:24
>> Let's jump into it.
2:26
>> Let's How do we add these comments?
2:27
There we go. So people, you can all put
2:29
your comments in there. You can ask any
2:30
questions that you want. We'll get them
2:32
answered. I've shared it on my Facebook
2:33
le if if you can me that'd be great. So,
2:37
um, first game of the week was the
2:39
Commanders and the Cowboys.
2:43
>> There was really nothing to play for.
2:45
>> Um, I thought the Commanders gave a good
2:47
account of themselves. I think it's
2:49
mental how far they've fallen from the
2:51
grace since last season. Cowboys still
2:54
doing Cowboys things. Um, but 30 points
2:56
to 23. Um
2:59
I I was quite
3:03
the problem I had with the fixtures for
3:04
this week was the C Commanders Cowboys
3:08
nothing really to play for Vikings had
3:11
Lions
3:15
it they were good games they were good
3:17
games to watch but for me it wasn't
3:20
well the commanders Cowboys let's talk
3:22
about that one first it I there was no
3:24
interest and that's where it's hard at
3:26
this point in the
3:27
Yeah. So, I I think you're absolutely
3:30
right. You know, we we got to that point
3:32
of the year where, you know, Jaden
3:33
Daniels, the quarterback of the
3:34
Commanders, were was was probably
3:36
healthy to play, but they're looking at
3:38
it going, "Do we really want to injure
3:39
him anymore?"
3:40
>> Yeah.
3:41
>> You know, there's nothing there's
3:42
nothing to play for. you know, there's
3:43
when when you're in that sort of
3:44
situation, you know, do you you know,
3:47
just put a a fighting group out there
3:49
and just hope that, you know, next
3:51
year's draft picks will will fall in
3:53
your favor and you can uh you know, you
3:55
can you can walk away for for another
3:57
day and see where you were at next year
3:59
because I mean, like you say, last year
4:00
they were in the playoffs. You know,
4:01
they were a strong team of the season. I
4:05
>> I've seen something about like the
4:06
amount of teams that made playoffs this
4:07
year compared to having this this year.
4:10
It's crazy. Look, we've got other games
4:12
we've got to talk about. Let's go
4:13
through the uh the foder, as we say.
4:16
Let's go through that and then we can
4:17
get through to some of the good bits
4:18
because I'm sure you're gonna want to
4:19
talk about your beloved Eagles. We're
4:22
certainly going to want to talk about
4:23
that awful Jets game. Um but let's go on
4:25
to the next one, which was the Vikings
4:27
and the Lions. Um Vikings won 23-10.
4:32
I'll be honest, I had the Lions down on
4:34
this one. Um
4:35
>> yeah,
4:36
>> great game.
4:37
>> Yeah, it was Do you know what? It was
4:39
just the lines just couldn't get the
4:40
ball moving.
4:41
>> Oh my god.
4:42
>> You know, Dan Dan Campbell was was, you
4:44
know, I mean, it was it was it was a
4:46
turnover heaven really, wasn't it? I
4:48
mean, I know Jared Goff wasn't having
4:49
his best game. He threw some
4:51
interceptions. You know, there was some
4:53
fumbles.
4:54
>> You know, the the Vikings defense turned
4:56
up and they stopped Detroit in their
4:58
tracks and
5:00
>> JJ McCarthy was was it JJ McCarthy was
5:02
playing? I think it was. No, no, it
5:03
wasn't. Who was their backup?
5:05
>> At this point, mate, I was about 15
5:06
bombs in. So, um,
5:08
>> so it was it was actually the the
5:10
undrafted rookie that came in and and
5:12
saved the day. He was just absolutely
5:14
balling.
5:15
>> Um, and it was it was it was it was a
5:18
great game. It really was a great game.
5:20
And um,
5:21
>> we've got a high
5:23
>> in a
5:26
[laughter]
5:27
that's not copyright something [snorts]
5:28
copyright.
5:30
It was it was it was a disappointing
5:31
game because I I like it like like I
5:32
said it was it was the Lions game, you
5:37
know, to to walk away with and they
5:39
ended up losing. I mean, fair play, it
5:41
was in Minnesota and it was it was a
5:43
rowdy crowd that they were playing up
5:44
against, but you know, come on, you
5:46
should be winning these games,
5:47
especially, you know,
5:49
>> a third string QB, you know, it's
5:51
absolutely crazy.
5:53
>> Well, talking about first string QB,
5:54
let's talk about the next game. Uh
5:56
Broncos against the Chiefs. I thought
5:58
Chiefs held themselves in a really
6:00
really really accountable really you
6:01
know thought they did well considering
6:03
um Broncos with a win. Um one I'd say
6:09
one hand maybe both hands now holding on
6:12
to that number one spot because you
6:14
don't see Chargers putting out the main
6:16
squad. What for? What for?
6:19
>> Um but Broncos won 20 to 13. I thought
6:22
Chief's defense did really well um in
6:24
this game in a game that they had to you
6:26
know show up on. Um Steve first game of
6:29
the season he's pic picked the Chiefs to
6:31
um to get beat and and you know we all
6:34
did on that one. He was right. Um you
6:36
got any thoughts on this one mate? Um
6:38
football better. Oh my god.
6:41
Do you know what m I want to say this? I
6:44
I I I love football. I love what we call
6:46
players or play and watch as American
6:49
football. Um, but I don't comment on
6:52
like Liverpool streams because I follow
6:54
this Irish guy by the way. He's
6:55
hilarious when you know, especially when
6:56
we can see the goal. What's going on?
6:58
Anyway, um, I don't comment on that
7:00
going American football is better. For
7:02
me, American football is the best sport
7:03
in the world. It's the most technical
7:05
sport and I love it. I'm a Liverpool
7:07
fan, mate. I I love Liverpool. But we'll
7:10
get back to it. As you were, mate.
7:11
>> As we were. As we were. Do you know
7:13
what? Yeah. Let's talk about the Chiefs
7:15
and the and the Broncos because it was a
7:18
it was a lot tighter game than than we
7:20
were both anticipating. I think we can
7:21
fairly say
7:22
>> yeah,
7:23
>> you know, the the the the Chiefs defense
7:25
really did show up and I think you can
7:28
tell by the box score, you know, it
7:30
wasn't a high-scoring game and
7:32
>> you know,
7:34
do you feel do you feel both teams took
7:36
the foot off the gas was just completing
7:38
the fixture? Bearing in mind it was
7:40
Christmas Day as well, which I find
7:43
flabbergasting that games happen on
7:45
Christmas Day because if if I played I'd
7:47
be like, "No, I'm not playing Christmas
7:48
Day. Don't want to be in my family." You
7:50
know.
7:51
>> Yeah. I mean, it certainly seemed that
7:53
way on the offensive side of the ball
7:55
defensively. I think they were, you
7:57
know, they were looking for stats
7:58
everywhere. You know, people want that
8:00
sack. People want that forced fumble or
8:03
the interception. So, you know, Spags
8:05
and Kansas City's defense, you know,
8:07
they they were still hunting, you know,
8:08
and they were still grinding away and,
8:11
you know, and I know, you know, there
8:13
was a there was a an offside, wasn't
8:15
there, for for the Chiefs that gave you
8:17
guys a first down which kept the ball
8:19
moving. Yeah.
8:20
>> You know, and that was that was by the
8:21
veteran, you know, um, Jones, wasn't it?
8:24
Stone Cold Jones.
8:26
>> You've got to play you've got to play
8:27
your luck though as well. like um like
8:30
one thing that Broncos aren't doing
8:32
themselves any favors on is is penalties
8:34
from stupid stuff off sides holding
8:36
stuff like that. Um so that's that for
8:39
me that's one big thing that's going to
8:41
affect the Broncos in the playoffs. Um
8:44
but but no you're spot on right but
8:46
again Broncos are there it's not it's a
8:49
game that didn't really m I think that's
8:50
the problem this week.
8:51
>> Yeah.
8:52
>> However
8:55
a win to win for the Broncos next game.
8:57
Let's have a look at the next game.
8:59
>> Chargers and Texans. What a game this
9:01
was. Uh Chargers, Texans. Texans. My
9:04
favorite defense apart from obviously
9:06
the Denver Broncos. Um just unreal. They
9:09
seem to be clicking. I think the last
9:11
team that beat the the Texans. Who is
9:13
it? The Denver Broncos. They've been on
9:16
a phenomenal run and they won 20 points
9:19
to 16. Chargers are in the playoffs. I
9:23
don't think they can get a homefield
9:24
advantage. So, what you're going to find
9:25
is that their next game, which is
9:26
against the Broncos, rest.
9:29
I thought this was a great game, a good
9:31
game for football. What did you think,
9:32
mate?
9:33
>> Again, defense. It was it was a
9:36
defensive game, you know, and
9:38
>> yeah, it just it just seemed like the
9:41
Chargers just couldn't get anything
9:43
moving, you know, to only put 16 points
9:46
on the board, you know. I mean, I think
9:48
a lot of those were were field goals or
9:50
two of them were field goals. I think it
9:52
was three field goals in total, wasn't
9:53
it? it was just
9:54
>> they they just could not get the ball
9:56
downfield and you know Justin Herbert
9:58
was just not what we've seen him in in
10:02
weeks past. Um and on the flip side of
10:05
that, you know, we look at the Texans
10:06
and they're they're they're looking
10:08
good. They are looking really good and
10:11
you know the fact that they are you know
10:14
I think they're they're still fighting
10:16
out for the division with with the Jags.
10:18
you know, there's I mean, we we we've
10:21
rewinded. You know, eight weeks ago we
10:23
were saying, "Oh, it's the Colts. The
10:24
Colts are going to win the division."
10:26
And then now the Colts have faded into
10:29
the background and we've got the Texans
10:30
and the Jags are at the front runners
10:32
and it's just absolutely bizarre. So, I
10:36
think if if if the Texans do get that,
10:39
they do get the automatic uh the win the
10:43
division, I think they'll have a a
10:44
better run. Um, and I I I don't think
10:48
they're they're making the AFC final,
10:50
but I think, you know, they could get to
10:53
the championship game.
10:55
[sighs]
10:56
>> See, when they get to the playoffs,
10:58
anything.
10:59
>> It is. It is. And, you know, it's that's
11:02
what we that's why we love football,
11:03
isn't it? You know, it's any given
11:04
Sunday. And I think it's that's that's
11:06
what makes it exciting for me.
11:09
>> Um, next up, we had the Packers against
11:11
the Ravens. I'll be honest, this result
11:13
shocked me. Um the green um the Ravens
11:16
won 141 to 24.
11:19
>> What?
11:19
>> Derek Derek Henry just woke up.
11:22
>> Woke up woke up.
11:24
>> He was like Stranger Things. He was like
11:26
vecking it on everyone. He [laughter]
11:29
just spoiler alert. We're not going to
11:32
do that. Don't worry. No. Um I'm already
11:35
in enough trouble for that. Um no, I I
11:40
the Ravens all they got to do is win.
11:42
What a game that that is game of the
11:44
week next week. Obviously, we'll get to
11:45
that later, but there's no other game
11:47
that that beats that.
11:48
>> No, there's I mean, there's there's
11:50
literally,
11:51
>> you know, I know every there there's
11:53
going to be 16 games at the weekend, but
11:55
only three games matter um in in terms
11:58
of, you know, who actually goes through
12:00
to the uh you know, to to the playoffs.
12:05
Um and this this game is is going to be
12:07
wild. um you know the the Ravens have
12:10
been so hot and cold and I think that is
12:12
that's that's been their their weakness
12:15
um for these you know for the whole of
12:18
this season.
12:19
>> Yeah.
12:20
>> Um you know they'll they'll absolutely
12:22
destroy a team like the Packers there
12:24
and just you know run up a a you know a
12:27
40 burger on on a on a on a playoffbound
12:31
team. Um and then the week the next week
12:34
they'll get beaten by the Browns. It's
12:36
they're just inconsistent.
12:39
>> But it proves one thing. It proves one
12:40
thing. When they are when they are, you
12:42
know, on fire, they're on fire. And
12:45
>> um I don't think they're going to make
12:47
make it far into the playoffs if they do
12:48
get there. [gasps]
12:50
>> But, you know, they're going to put on a
12:52
hell of a show on on the I think it's
12:54
when it on Saturday night or Sunday. No,
12:56
Sunday night I think they're on or
12:57
Monday.
12:58
>> Should we should we talk about an
12:59
absolutely horrendous game?
13:02
>> Dolphins.
13:03
>> Dolphins. Buccaneers. What has happened
13:05
is
13:06
>> what what has happened?
13:10
>> I wish I could tell you.
13:12
>> Um
13:13
>> that is that is because they were up.
13:15
They were up. They were up and it's not
13:17
a case that they've gone down down down.
13:18
They've literally gone
13:20
>> Yeah. Yeah. I mean I think it's that
13:23
whole injury bug, isn't it? You know,
13:25
they lost a lot of wide receivers.
13:27
>> Everyone has injuries. Look at Chargers.
13:28
Charges online on the 12th string goal
13:31
line. the water boy is gonna step up and
13:33
play right tackle next week like
13:36
>> nah
13:37
>> everyone has injuries
13:39
>> I I completely agree with you there um
13:41
you know and it's it's how
13:43
it's how the the coaching staff rally
13:45
around the team and keep them pushing
13:47
forward and I think that's perhaps where
13:49
where they've fallen down you know it's
13:53
it's been it has been rocky and and I
13:56
think that the difference in coaching
13:57
styles between Jim Harbaugh and um is Is
14:01
it Todd B? Todd BS is it? Yeah, Todd BS
14:03
is the uh
14:04
>> uh is the box man box coach, you know,
14:07
and their coaching styles are completely
14:10
different, you know, when when things
14:12
get low, you know, how'd you pick the
14:14
team up and say, look, okay, we might be
14:16
missing our star wide receiver or left
14:18
tackle or all the above,
14:20
>> but we'll make it work. Um, and I think
14:23
that's where the the Bucks have have
14:25
struggled. You know, they've they've
14:26
they had a a couple of hard games to to
14:28
beat. Um, and then they seem to be
14:31
losing the games that they should be
14:33
winning. Um,
14:35
and you know this, we shouldn't be
14:36
taking anything off the Miami Dolphins
14:37
here. You know, they've they've come out
14:39
fighting. You know, they obviously you
14:41
got your
14:42
string back in there.
14:44
>> Do you know the Buccaneers have still
14:45
got a chance of making a playoff?
14:47
>> They have. They have. Yeah. So, they've
14:48
got to they've got to beat um the
14:51
Panthers.
14:52
>> That's going to be another great game.
14:54
>> Yeah. And that's that's one of the three
14:56
that I'm tell talking about. you know,
14:58
there's there's there's not many out
14:59
there now
15:00
>> um that actually have implications on
15:03
who makes it into the playoffs, and this
15:04
is definitely one of them.
15:05
[sighs and gasps]
15:06
>> Wow. Um let's get on to the next one,
15:09
cuz there's some great games. This one
15:11
was this one was I cancer. This one was
15:15
hell. This one was
15:17
worse than my college football team,
15:20
CSU, who are falling apart like quicker
15:23
than Humpty Dumpty. Um the Jets and the
15:26
Patriots. The Patriots won 42-10 I think
15:28
at Halime it was 30 odd nil. Um
15:31
embarrassing like if there was ever if
15:34
there was ever a call for a team to be
15:35
relegated the only way we doing like in
15:37
normal football soccer whatever you want
15:39
to really call it the the Jets are the
15:41
the reason for it like they are
15:44
absolutely
15:46
awful. I [snorts] seen a post some guy
15:49
>> said I took my daughter to my first ever
15:51
game and when we we were a bit late and
15:53
we got there for the second quarter and
15:55
we half time we left because it was that
15:57
bad.
15:59
>> Yeah. [clears throat]
16:01
How do you like how do you even fix
16:03
that? Did you watch this?
16:05
>> Do you know what I was watching watching
16:06
it on red zone? It kept flashing up and
16:08
it was just it was just you know the
16:11
Patriots have got the ball. The Patriots
16:13
have scored. The Patriots have got the
16:14
ball. The Patriots have scored. And it's
16:16
just it was just incredible to to see
16:19
how dominant they looked against the
16:21
Jets.
16:22
>> Yeah.
16:22
>> And you know, I I said to I said to
16:25
somebody somebody who I had over who was
16:26
watching their game with me, I said, you
16:27
know, by the looks of this, they're
16:29
going to pull Drake May off and and put
16:32
in the second string
16:34
QB and, you know, the wide receivers and
16:37
everything and just coast this game out.
16:39
But they kept him out there for until
16:41
the third quarter and then I think they
16:43
pulled him in the last quarter.
16:44
Otherwise, this would have probably been
16:45
a 50 burger for sure.
16:47
>> In terms of the NFL power rankings,
16:49
there's only one team below the Jets. Do
16:52
you know who that is?
16:55
>> Raiders.
16:56
>> You got it. Um, no,
16:59
>> they are trash. [laughter]
17:00
>> Yeah, they they're awful. Um, honestly,
17:04
it's just
17:06
it's it's awful. It's awful on every
17:08
aspect. And on that note, let's move on
17:10
to the next game. Um,
17:12
Browns and Steelers. Wow. No one's seen
17:15
this coming. Um, Browns 13, Steelers
17:17
six. The Steelers the most inconsistent
17:19
thing I've ever seen in my life. Um, I
17:22
know Rogers is going for that. He wants
17:24
it one more, you know. Well, he's never
17:26
had it before, you know, but Wow. How
17:29
can they just be one week not great but
17:32
good and then the next week tire?
17:35
[sighs]
17:36
>> Do you know what I mean? when when when
17:39
you are division leaders, which they
17:42
are, you know, they're they're nine and
17:43
seven at the moment, you know, they've
17:46
not even hit double digits and they
17:48
potentially going to be going into the
17:51
playoffs.
17:52
>> Yeah,
17:53
>> that whole entire league is is not doing
17:56
very well. You know, the the Ravens are
17:58
obviously, you know, slightly behind
17:59
them and then you got the Bengals and
18:01
then the Browns.
18:03
you know, we thought, you know, at the
18:05
beginning of the season it was going to
18:07
be,
18:08
you know, Ravens and Bengals running
18:10
away with a division. Steelers, a lot of
18:13
people were unsure about them and the
18:15
Browns were just going to be trash. Um,
18:18
it turns out all four teams have been
18:20
kind of trash this year. uh there's no
18:23
consistency as you said just they they
18:25
have a really great week and then the
18:26
following week they're just falling off
18:28
the edge of the cliff and
18:31
again get beat by the Browns you know
18:33
the team that shouldn't be winning are
18:35
winning and still Miles Garrett doesn't
18:38
have his sack that's going to give him
18:40
[laughter] the record
18:43
>> who are they playing who are they well
18:44
we'll get to in a bit who they're
18:45
playing but it's all pressurees on him
18:47
this weekend I tell you
18:50
>> next up we had the Colts and the Jags
18:53
>> [sighs]
18:53
>> I really wanted the Colts to do well
18:55
with um with the QB coming back. Um
18:59
there's a lad who I play used to play
19:00
American football with. Uh Brandon his
19:03
name is um and he's just announced that
19:05
he's having another kid and um I think I
19:07
put on a group chat um give me one
19:10
minute because it was a belt of a
19:11
comment. I put it where is it? Um no I'm
19:15
getting grief on that one. Philip Rivers
19:17
of Stafford Surge you are mate
19:19
[laughter]
19:20
because he's just got loads of kids
19:23
didn't go down too well that coming um
19:26
but um no
19:30
it was a good game this one um Jags get
19:32
Jags look brilliant they really do um
19:35
what they've tweaked and done this
19:36
season it's working it absolutely is
19:39
working 23-7 against um the Colts u
19:44
Rivers has said he's not coming back
19:46
which I would have liked to maybe seen
19:47
one more season, but I get it. You know,
19:49
he's just done it. Uh,
19:52
go on, mate. You're up. Yeah. I mean, do
19:55
you know what? Well, I think the Jags
19:56
are a prime example of a team that just
19:59
make those fine tweaks in, you know, the
20:02
sort of the transfer window and then all
20:05
suddenly they're a good team, you know,
20:07
cuz you know, everyone remember
20:08
beginning of the season, you know, when
20:10
they come to London and, you know, the
20:12
the Rams just absolutely steamrolled
20:15
them and we were just like, "Oh, it's
20:17
the same old Jags, you know, probably,
20:20
you know, top 10 pick in this next next
20:22
year's draft." And then kind of since
20:24
that point there and the transfer window
20:27
kind of opened up, they got um you know
20:31
another wide receiver and a few other
20:32
players on the defense and all suddenly
20:35
bam, you know they're they're heading
20:37
towards the the playoffs and you know
20:40
having a really really good year. So
20:43
yeah, another [sighs and gasps]
20:46
there's a few uh implications that could
20:48
happen this weekend. Um it'll be
20:52
interesting to see how they get into the
20:54
playoffs.
20:55
>> I mean it seems the playoff pitcher the
20:57
Jags are ranked third. Um if the Pats
20:59
get beat then they'll be ranked um I
21:03
don't I don't
21:04
either second or third. I think
21:07
>> I think they still I think they stays
21:08
third. I think the the implication is if
21:11
they lose and the Texans win, then the
21:14
Texans go into third and the Jags go
21:20
through as a wild card.
21:21
>> The Titans are already out.
21:23
>> So, you imagine you imagine the Jags are
21:25
still going to play a decent team
21:27
because they'll want that homefield
21:29
advantage. Um it's it's honestly I'm
21:32
still really looking forward to to this
21:34
week's games. Um, up next, um, it's not
21:38
one I really want to talk about, but
21:39
we'll talk about it. Um, this the the
21:42
Titans against the Saints. The Saints
21:44
pull another win out the bag, win 34 to
21:46
26. Um,
21:49
two teams you've not really had the best
21:51
of seasons. Did you catch this, mate?
21:53
Did you pour vodka in your eyes after
21:55
watching it? Do
21:56
>> you know, I was I was I was kind of
21:59
cheering for the for the Titans on this
22:01
one. you know, they've [sighs]
22:03
[gasps] they looked like they were going
22:05
to win at one point and then all of a
22:07
sudden the the the Saints pulled out the
22:10
bag. Um, you know, they they they look
22:15
like a fairly decent team again. Um,
22:19
yes. [clears throat and laughter] So,
22:19
the Saints are
22:22
they're a team I just don't know how to
22:24
feel about right now.
22:25
>> Yeah.
22:25
>> You know, I I I want to hate them, but
22:27
they they're looking okay,
22:29
>> you know. Are they gonna are they going
22:31
to roll with you know Tyler Shook next
22:33
year?
22:35
How far are they off from, you know,
22:37
from getting a winning team again? I I'm
22:40
not too sure. So, I'm I'm up in the air,
22:42
but this game was, like I say, it wasn't
22:44
the most exciting game. Um, but they the
22:48
Saints pulled a win out of it. It means
22:51
nothing. Um,
22:53
yeah, I think it's just that's that's it
22:56
for me really on that one. It it it
22:57
that's why I said let's let's chat about
22:59
it as possible. Let's move on. Um right.
23:02
Okay. Panthers Seahawks. This was a game
23:04
for me that showed Seahawks can go all
23:05
the way and win the whole thing because
23:08
look, Panthers are still in it. To be in
23:09
it at this point, you've got to be a
23:10
good team, but this performance showed
23:12
why a the Panthers haven't qualified yet
23:14
and b Seahawks are are where they are
23:16
for a reason. Um 27-10.
23:19
Um look, I like the Panthers. I I picked
23:22
the Panthers because Panthers this
23:24
season have won games against really
23:26
good teams, then lost against really
23:27
poor teams. It's been a bit of a mental
23:29
season for them. Um but that being said,
23:33
they're still in with a chance. They've
23:34
just got to beat the Buccaneers who've
23:36
been awful. Um
23:38
where what they have like a percentage,
23:41
you know, of So if the Panthers win,
23:44
there's a 99% chance they're going
23:45
through. How are they not going through
23:47
if they don't win? I don't get that.
23:50
Um
23:50
>> yeah,
23:51
>> unless they get beat by like they win by
23:53
like hard any points. I don't know. But
23:54
anyway, um
23:56
>> yeah,
23:59
Seahawks brilliant. They've lost three
24:01
games this season. Um people get Bronco
24:05
singing about, you know, there's games
24:06
they've only just won and that Seahawks
24:08
have won games convincingly a lot this
24:10
season. [snorts]
24:12
>> Yeah. I think the only the only thing
24:14
for me is is how they started that game.
24:17
Yes,
24:17
>> they started very very slow. You know,
24:20
the the Panthers took, you know, a
24:22
seven-point lead on them. Um Seahawks
24:25
then kicked a field goal. Panthers
24:27
kicked a field goal and then it was just
24:29
a bit stalemate for a bit and then the
24:31
Seahawks woke up. Their defense woke up
24:34
>> and then turned into a game.
24:36
>> If they do that against the Bears,
24:37
Eagles or the 49ers, heck, even the
24:39
Rams, it's not going to end up well for
24:41
them if they have a slow start. So that
24:43
that can't happen again. Um they are
24:46
guaranteed that top spot. That's it. So
24:49
I imagine everyone's having a rest week
24:53
um getting themselves ready for whatever
24:54
they're playing next. Um
24:56
>> so yeah, interesting that one. Uh let's
24:59
move on to the next result, mate, which
25:01
was the Bengals against the Cardinals.
25:04
Wow. Um Bengals won 3714. Um Cardinals
25:08
were absolutely awful. They they've been
25:10
pretty bad all season, let's be honest.
25:12
Again, it was one of them games where
25:15
it's not as bad as the next game we're
25:16
going to talk about in terms of,
25:18
[laughter] you know, trash, [snorts]
25:20
but it was pretty trashy.
25:22
>> Yeah. I mean, the only good thing that
25:24
came out of this game was, you know,
25:27
uh Trey McBride getting a uh getting a
25:32
record of some sort. I can't remember
25:33
what it is. Receiving receiving catches
25:36
within the first few years or something.
25:38
He's he's past some some stat somewhere
25:41
down the line. I'm I'm sure if Steve was
25:42
here he'd be able to tell us exactly
25:44
what it is. Um apart from that it was a
25:46
pretty dominant game um from [snorts]
25:49
you know Jamar Chase and T. Higgins and
25:52
and the rest of the Bengals just looked
25:54
really dominant and it was you know this
25:56
is kind of what we expected to see from
25:57
the Bengals from you know from the whole
25:59
season.
26:00
>> Unfortunately you know with the injury
26:02
to to Joe Burrows I think that's that
26:05
kind of took away the shine of the the
26:07
season. And it'll be interesting to see
26:09
how the Bengals
26:11
navigate the off season and come back
26:14
next year. Um because there is talks,
26:17
you know, there there is whispers that
26:19
Joe Burrows isn't happy where he is
26:21
right now.
26:22
>> Do you blame Do you blame him though?
26:24
Like do you know what I always try and
26:26
compare it to to me and that and
26:29
everyone does that. You'll do that when
26:30
you were playing so on and so forth.
26:32
Like am I happy? Am I happy with this
26:34
current setup? So like when I left the
26:38
the team I left to join Lancaster
26:40
Buccaneers was a great team. It was a
26:42
great team. They have one team really
26:44
good team and there was a lot of people
26:46
in that team who I loved and I'm still
26:48
mates with them now. But there was too
26:51
many people on that team that I was just
26:53
like I don't like you and I'm never
26:54
going to like you. So that's why I moved
26:58
him and and one of my mates at that very
27:01
same teams he said to me these are the
27:03
best days of your life. Do not do this
27:05
if if you're not happy. Do this
27:06
somewhere where you will be happy. And
27:08
that was great advice. Um one second,
27:11
two sec.
27:13
Uh anyway, um so he's most probably
27:17
thinking, am I going to win something
27:18
here?
27:20
No. But where who do you think would
27:23
snatch him? Who do you think would take
27:24
him?
27:26
>> I mean, look, Jets have got two first
27:29
round picks next year. you know they
27:33
would they would they be up for you know
27:35
negotiating there you then perhaps
27:39
>> but then what I just stay where it was I
27:42
know two first round picks
27:44
>> but
27:46
[snorts]
27:47
yeah you know when you're trying to
27:49
think who wants because he's a solid QB
27:51
there's no denying he's a solid QB but
27:54
>> so I I think it it it all falls down to
27:58
who is going to be the head coach
28:01
So, you know, you look at OC's and who
28:03
what OC's are going to be perhaps
28:06
promoted to be incoming head coaches.
28:09
You know, Joe Burrow's um offensive
28:12
coordinator back when he was in LSU was
28:14
uh Joe Brady who's currently the OC at
28:17
the Bills.
28:19
Is he due a promotion? Is he going to
28:21
become a head coach somewhere?
28:23
>> Will Joe Burrows want to go where he's
28:24
going?
28:26
>> You know, that's that's going to be the
28:27
question. And I think wherever Joe if
28:29
Joe Borrow
28:31
if uh Joe Brady does get a a role
28:34
somewhere,
28:35
>> please don't tell us that. Hello.
28:37
>> Hello, mate. Still hear you? Yeah, I can
28:39
still hear you.
28:41
>> Can you hear us?
28:42
>> Um Oh, crap.
28:45
[laughter]
28:46
Well, it's just me then. I'll uh I'll
28:48
just talk on my own whilst Matteo sorts
28:50
his his phone out and rejoins the the
28:53
link. Obviously, he's he's messing
28:54
around there and decided to lose lose
28:57
the stream. So, and there he is. He's
28:59
back. We're all good [laughter] now.
29:01
>> Do you know what? Do you know what?
29:02
Someone's called me from this stream.
29:05
Most of me going because he only
29:06
comments on the Facebook. I'm so sorry.
29:09
And I know why he's called me. He's
29:10
like, "Why isn't your stream on?" Oh,
29:12
mate. Oh, I'll tell you about this
29:13
later. That That's hilarious. But he's
29:15
ringing me. I'm like, "Oh my god, he
29:16
doesn't even know what he's doing." Yes.
29:18
Sorry about that, folks. As you were,
29:20
mate. [laughter]
29:22
>> Yeah. So, I said, I think wherever Joe
29:25
Brady lands, I think Joe Burough may be
29:27
interested in, you know, that team as as
29:29
as his potential landing spot.
29:33
>> It's mad. It's mad because in Brit
29:36
people are always constantly chopping
29:38
and changing like um Nighthawks got a
29:41
good chunk, sorry, let me rephrase that.
29:43
Nighthawk got a chunk of players from
29:44
Titans and when they settled in, you
29:47
seen Nighthawk's results turn around,
29:49
but that set click of players go from
29:52
one club to another club. Do you get
29:53
what I mean? Um, but it worked. It wor
29:56
it worked for them. Um,
29:59
it's it's a mad one because like Lee Lee
30:01
Miners, by the way, great logo. Just
30:03
seen it. Um, I'll send you later, mate.
30:05
It's actually pretty strong. They lost a
30:07
lot of players, but they're recruiting
30:08
them back. Um, and coaches have such a
30:11
big impact on that. Um, when I joined
30:14
the Buccaneers, I really wanted to get
30:15
Dave Porson in and it was only till I'm
30:18
totally true story this. I was on the
30:19
toilet and I was like, "Oh, I've got a
30:21
great idea,
30:22
>> Dave." blah blah blah. Got it sorted.
30:24
Um, you know, touch he brings a touch of
30:26
class to the team. He's a great guy, you
30:28
know, stuff like that. But let's get
30:30
away from it. But let's go back to it.
30:31
Let's talk about the um the turd bowl.
30:33
We're going to call it that. That's very
30:34
PG. The Raiders against the Giants. The
30:38
Giants gave up their number one pick
30:39
next season and beat the Raiders 34 to
30:43
10. This was a awful game. It was an
30:47
absolute toilet.
30:48
>> Toilet bowl. That's what we're calling
30:49
it. The toilet bowl.
30:52
Did you watch this?
30:53
>> And I'll be honest, I I I didn't even
30:55
entertain it.
30:56
>> I thought it was just going to be it was
30:57
that rubbish. It just didn't I didn't
31:00
want to put my effort into even remotely
31:03
watching it.
31:05
I think this was most probably the worst
31:08
game of football I've seen for a while.
31:09
Now, Giants got the win. Giants can only
31:11
do you know what they did, but it
31:12
Raiders were really that bad. And you
31:14
know what the mad thing is? Do you know
31:15
one of the Raiders wins are this season?
31:20
>> Patriots.
31:23
Yeah. The
31:24
>> what?
31:25
>> The parody the parody of the NFL.
31:29
>> Honest to God, mate. You know, it was
31:32
the first game of this first game of the
31:33
season. Patriots are trying to find
31:35
their foot in and the Raiders Raiders
31:37
managed to sneak in a win at Chillet
31:40
Gillette Field as well, which is just
31:42
absolutely bonkers.
31:44
>> And then from there, all downhill,
31:48
>> mad.
31:50
>> Mad. Um, let's go on to the next one,
31:52
which was a great game. Uh, Eagles
31:54
against the Bills. Eagles won 13 to 12.
31:57
I'm going to let you go all on this one,
31:59
mate. Off you Oh my god. So, [gasps]
32:04
you know, I used to have a real good
32:06
head of hair when I was a youngster, you
32:07
know, and [laughter]
32:10
it's is games like this where I just
32:12
realize, well, I don't have a head full
32:13
head of hair anymore. Uh, it was so
32:16
stressful. You know, the Eagles seemed
32:20
to just dominate the first half. It was
32:22
just incredible to watch. You know, the
32:24
the offense just take command and and to
32:27
move down the field. you know, there was
32:28
a couple of mistakes, you know, a few
32:31
fumbles and interceptions, but overall
32:33
the the Eagles looked like they were in
32:34
control. The defense were half asleep.
32:38
Um, but then come the second half, the
32:41
Eagles defense woke up, the Eagles
32:43
offense went back to sleep and we
32:45
stopped scoring. And it wasn't, you
32:47
know, it was it was the the dying
32:49
seconds, you know, when the Bills scored
32:53
a touchdown and they just they decided
32:55
to go for a for a two-point conversion
32:57
instead of a the field goal to tie it
33:00
that the defense stepped up and and uh
33:04
and Josh Allen overthrew his wide
33:07
receiver and the Eagles walk off the off
33:10
off Orchard Park with a win. You know,
33:13
it was a it was a real messy win, but it
33:16
was a win nonetheless. Um,
33:20
what have we learned from that game?
33:23
The Eagles need to be more consistent
33:24
with their offense and their defense
33:26
need to wake up sooner.
33:29
>> Yeah. Um, this is the part of the season
33:32
where you guys raise your upper level,
33:35
you know.
33:35
>> Yeah. PE people ask [snorts] questions
33:38
all the time about like um like like if
33:41
the Chiefs would have got to the
33:42
playoffs, people would have put on good
33:43
money no matter how bad they've been
33:44
this season. You you've kind of got that
33:47
same vibe. Um don't hit me. Um but no um
33:52
really really really
33:54
interesting one. It's going to be for me
33:55
it's going to be a good good end to the
33:56
the season on that one and it'll be
33:58
interesting to see what you do next
33:59
week. Let's have a look at the playoff
34:01
picture with you guys. So you need a win
34:03
to stay guaranteed home. Am I right in
34:05
saying that?
34:06
Uh, no. So, we we'll be probably the
34:10
three seed. So, we'll still have the
34:12
home advantage. Okay. Probably we'll be
34:14
playing Rams, I think.
34:16
>> Um,
34:17
>> you'll be playing the fifth seed, would
34:19
you?
34:19
>> The Rams or N.
34:21
>> 49ers, a fifth seed at the moment.
34:23
>> You know, which one do I want?
34:25
>> Either either or, mate. Either or.
34:28
>> Either or. It's going to be a tough
34:30
game. It's It's going to be a tough
34:32
game. So, I think it's, you [snorts]
34:34
know, I think the Eagles are going to be
34:36
well, I already know the Eagles are
34:37
resting their starters. They've already
34:39
announced all over their socials that
34:41
Jaylen Herz isn't starting. You know, a
34:43
lot of their their key key players that
34:46
I'm going to be starting. Um, so, you
34:49
know, win or lose against the
34:51
commanders, it's it doesn't matter. It
34:53
doesn't affect us. It's everyone around
34:54
us. So, it's how how the other games
34:56
finish and who we actually play where
34:59
they're in us. So, it's [gasps]
35:02
we need to come in we need to go into
35:03
that into the playoffs with a with a
35:06
with a plan cuz right now what we
35:08
performed against the Bills didn't look
35:11
like a plan. That just looked like we we
35:12
were struggling.
35:14
>> No, definitely.
35:15
>> Um right, going on to um the 49ers and
35:19
the Bears. Um 49ers won 4238. I thought
35:23
this was a brilliant game.
35:24
>> Oh my god.
35:25
>> It wasn't just a brilliant game. It was
35:26
an elite game. this along with um the
35:30
Chargers and Texans is you got to be up
35:32
there for game of the week. Um 49ers
35:35
putting themselves in great contention
35:37
for the playoffs. Obviously the
35:38
qualified, that's it. You know, we know
35:40
the qualified, but the Bears are second
35:43
seed. The 49ers are fifth seed. It's
35:47
going to be a brilliant finish to the
35:48
season.
35:49
>> [sighs]
35:49
>> I, you know,
35:53
you know, come week, come come week five
35:54
of of this season, I was so confident in
35:57
the Eagles, you know, that we were going
35:58
to, you know, get to the Super Bowl and
36:01
and win the Super Bowl and we were going
36:03
to become champions again. And, you
36:06
know, like I said, we know the the the
36:07
playoff pitch for the Eagles is looking
36:09
like is the Rams or or the the Niners.
36:11
And after seeing that performance at the
36:14
weekend, I really hope it's not the
36:16
Niners cuz they are looking strong.
36:19
Their offense is
36:21
like you say, elite. Uh and and so are
36:24
the Bears. Oh my god, it's just they are
36:28
looking so good. Uh you know, the only
36:30
thing the only takeaway you can get from
36:32
this is because it was such a high
36:33
highscoring game.
36:35
>> Yeah.
36:35
>> Can we can we question their defense
36:37
maybe? Um,
36:40
but go blime me, it was it was an
36:42
exciting game, wasn't it?
36:44
>> I honestly I'd understand why you say
36:46
that. Um, but for me that time of the
36:50
year. Oh, we got Nathan. Nathan, you
36:53
just RANG ME. NATHAN. NATHAN JUST rang
36:55
that rang. Nathan, you absolute spine.
36:58
I'll call you back as soon as this is
36:59
done, mate. I'll tell you all the news.
37:01
Yeah, it was Nathan who rang me. I was
37:03
just like, be funny if he goes, it
37:05
wasn't me. [laughter]
37:07
Um,
37:09
Um, yes, mate. Sorry about that, Ali. I
37:11
was doing this and you cut it off, but
37:12
you'll see it later. Yeah. Um, no. Um,
37:16
brilliant game. I think we move on.
37:18
We've We've got so much to talk about as
37:19
well cuz I really really want Hang on.
37:21
Wait there. We've got, um, let's say
37:23
that um, Bears if win Sunday host Dirty
37:26
Packers. If we lose, host loser of 49ers
37:28
and Seahawks.
37:31
>> Yeah, it's a tough it's a tough way to
37:33
go through. I think they'd want the
37:35
Packers because the Packers have dipped
37:37
in form.
37:38
>> Um, in this sport, momentum is
37:41
everything. Um, let's get let's get on
37:43
to the next one. Um, and for some reason
37:46
I've lost me um thing. [snorts]
37:48
>> This one this one was the shock of the
37:49
week again, I think.
37:51
>> Yeah. Two seconds, mate.
37:52
>> Um,
37:54
>> so we had Do you want me to say what it
37:55
is? [snorts]
37:57
>> So, it was the the Falcons against the
37:59
Rams.
38:00
27 Rams 24.
38:04
This was the This was it. This This was
38:06
the shock of the week. Oh my god. You
38:09
know where?
38:12
>> Right. Right.
38:13
>> Be John Robinson.
38:14
>> Falcons.
38:14
>> Be John Robinson.
38:15
>> Falcons have been that bad as you think.
38:17
They're seven and nine for the season.
38:19
However, they were six and nine before
38:21
getting kicked off. So, the Rams should
38:22
win. But
38:25
myself included have said that the Rams
38:28
aren't what people think they are and
38:30
this this game proved it. However, um
38:33
they've got a good game against Atlanta.
38:35
Um I don't think they can climb a
38:38
position.
38:41
Can he?
38:42
>> No.
38:43
>> Um
38:44
>> I don't think they can.
38:45
>> But it
38:48
rest everyone against the Falcons. More
38:49
than likely. If you're guaranteed your
38:50
place, you'd be stupid to put on who in
38:53
the hopes of they're going to get beat
38:54
and you can [snorts] climb position. But
38:57
it was a shocker, but that's football
38:59
and that's why we love it. And that was
39:01
week 17, folks. Boom. [clears throat]
39:04
Um, are you in any fancy football
39:06
finals? I'm in one.
39:08
>> Uh, well, we I we've had our finals last
39:11
week. So, I came second in one final,
39:14
third in another one, and uh I came 10th
39:17
in my other one. So, uh, I did I did
39:20
fairly good. Two, three, and 10.
39:22
>> I won my game last week and it's saying
39:24
I've got a final this week, so I'm you
39:26
know, it's it's a league I won't be in
39:28
again anyway. But, um, Seahawks win, NFC
39:31
West 49 runners up and Rams miss
39:33
playoffs. You'd love that, wouldn't you,
39:35
mate? Um,
39:37
>> but folks, um, the Audible is going to
39:40
carry on as normal. Um, the Audible will
39:42
not stop. Um, we absolutely love what
39:45
Sport Tank have done for us and given us
39:47
our platform and educating us and on and
39:49
how to do this and look, we only want
39:51
to, you know, grow the sport of of
39:53
American football. Um, so it will carry
39:56
on. We will we will carry on next
39:58
season. We'll carry on off season. Had a
40:00
few messages. Um, but we're all going to
40:01
be carrying on. We're really looking
40:02
forward to it. Um, but should we go on
40:06
to week 18? Cuz if we don't, we'll just
40:08
we'll end up talking Stranger Things
40:10
spoilers. Eddie returns. and he returns.
40:13
Um, could you imagine? [laughter]
40:16
Right. Um, so we've got most one of the
40:19
interesting games of the week. First up,
40:20
books against the Panthers. Um, I'm
40:23
going for the Panthers. It's the first
40:24
time I picked against the Books. No, the
40:26
second time I picked against the books
40:27
this season. I'm going for the Panthers.
40:30
>> Oh, that's interesting. Oh, see, I'm I'm
40:33
thinking again,
40:35
>> home field. Sorry.
40:37
>> Happy New Year, too, mate. Yeah. Um, I
40:39
think the only thing that I've got going
40:41
here is is all the home teams are going
40:44
to win. So that's that's my that's my
40:47
sort of
40:49
caveat to this to every pick that I'm
40:51
going to do is is every home team's
40:52
going to win. So for my my pick this
40:54
week is going to be the Buccaneers. I
40:56
think they've got the homefield
40:57
advantage and
40:59
I'm just hoping Baker's Baker's pulling
41:01
>> 21 books 18. That's a good prediction
41:04
that mates. Um, okay.
41:07
49ers against the Seahawks. I'm I'm
41:10
going to go for the 49ers because the
41:11
Seahawks aren't playing anyone.
41:13
>> The Seahawks aren't playing anyone,
41:15
mate. [laughter]
41:17
>> Again, again, it's homefield advantage.
41:19
I'm exactly with you.
41:20
>> You know what? I'm I'm glad you said
41:22
that because the Raiders are home to the
41:24
Chiefs and we'll get on to that in a
41:25
bit. Um, so you're going for the 49ers,
41:27
correct?
41:28
>> Okay.
41:29
>> Yep. Yep.
41:30
>> Texans against the Colts.
41:32
I am picking the Colts
41:36
>> again. Home field. I'm going Texans.
41:38
>> Do something different. Bengals against
41:40
the Browns.
41:43
>> Uh, I'm going Bengals cuz Bengals are at
41:46
home. [laughter]
41:48
>> I think I I genuinely think this is
41:50
going to be a good game. I think the
41:52
Bengals Miles Garrett is going to be on
41:54
the field. Miles Garrett is going to be
41:55
on that field. He wants that final sack
41:57
and he's going to get it against
41:59
whoever's playing QB there.
42:00
>> Falcons [snorts] and things.
42:02
>> So, Nathan Nathan's there saying Seahawk
42:04
28 n is 24.
42:06
>> I don't think I don't think the Seahawks
42:08
are playing anyone mate. I think
42:10
>> I think they'd rather um um anyone play
42:14
QB for them right now. Um anyone play
42:16
any any of their starters. They're going
42:18
to be watching from the sideline. Yeah.
42:21
Um I would be picking the Bengals. I'll
42:24
agree with you on that one. Falcons and
42:25
Saints, I'll be going for the Falcons.
42:29
>> Uh which one we got? Falcons, Saints.
42:34
Uh, yeah, Falcons as well. Homefield
42:36
advantage.
42:37
>> Okay. I Yeah,
42:39
>> this next one, the Vikings against the
42:41
Packers.
42:44
>> I've gone Vikings on this one.
42:45
>> I'm going to agree. Yeah, because
42:46
they're not playing the starters. And
42:47
this is what the map part of this season
42:49
is.
42:50
>> Yeah, this is it. This is This is what's
42:52
going to be crazy is, you know, if
42:54
Minnesota's still going to be playing
42:55
their QB3 because they've got no other
42:57
QBs to play. Um,
43:00
you know, and I think Justin Jefferson
43:02
and everyone else is going to want to
43:03
put the points up before they put their
43:05
second strings out. So, yeah, Minnesota
43:07
in this one.
43:08
>> Jaguars and Titans.
43:10
>> Yeah,
43:11
>> I'm going for the Titans.
43:14
>> They're not Jags. Jags are playing their
43:16
starters, mate. They they have a home
43:17
field game.
43:19
>> Um,
43:20
do do you really want it? Their QB is
43:23
such a big asset. Are they going to risk
43:25
that for
43:27
>> No, no, they're not. They won't be
43:28
playing their starters. What do
43:30
Tennessee do? That's my going to be my
43:32
my question in this game. Are they going
43:34
to are they going to play their QB1
43:38
[clears throat] or are they going to be
43:38
putting out their second string? Um
43:42
because again, it's just going to be a
43:43
toss up. If they put their first string
43:45
out, then Titans are going to get this.
43:47
[snorts] Um if they if they're putting
43:49
their second string out, then for sure
43:50
it's it's going to be it's going to be
43:52
the Jags to win.
43:54
And your answer is
43:57
>> the Jaguars are going to win this one.
43:58
Homefield advantage.
44:00
>> Have you got your Giants shirt on?
44:04
>> Uh, no. That's still uh still sitting
44:06
around the toilet.
44:06
>> You got Giants against Cowboys. Are you
44:08
picking me?
44:10
>> Uh, again, Giants in this one. I think
44:12
the Gi
44:14
Dallas are falling apart at the at the
44:17
seams. You know, they're trading Trayvon
44:19
Diggs. They they've they're given up. So
44:22
they
44:23
>> I'm I'm going for the um Cowboys in this
44:25
one. Sorry, Coach Ross, if if you're
44:26
watching. Titans cuz wife's a Jags fan.
44:29
My wife hates the sport, I think. I
44:31
don't know. Um so yeah, I'm going for
44:34
Cowboys. You're going for Giants. Uh
44:36
Rams and Cardinals.
44:39
>> Uh Rams in this one.
44:41
>> Rams
44:43
home.
44:44
>> Homefield advantage again,
44:46
>> right? Raiders against the Chiefs.
44:50
I think Raiders will win, too.
44:51
>> I think the Raiders I think the Raiders
44:53
are going to win this one.
44:54
>> I think they're going to win. Giants
44:56
fork as in fork. Spoon and fork. The
44:58
Cowboys. I like that. Thank you. Even a
45:01
BJ. Uh yeah, I I think that the Raiders
45:03
will be the Chiefs. Um which would be
45:06
mental because could you imagine with
45:07
even if they win and the Giants get
45:10
beat, they'd still get the number one
45:11
pick, wouldn't you?
45:13
>> Yep. Mental.
45:14
>> Mental.
45:15
>> Eagles and Commanders.
45:18
uh Eagles on this one even though
45:20
they're going to be putting their second
45:21
string out. I think Commanders will be
45:23
doing the same thing.
45:23
>> I'm gonna go for Commanders in this one.
45:25
Um
45:26
just just because I think I don't think
45:28
Commanders will
45:31
>> um Patriots and Dolphins.
45:34
Pats.
45:35
>> Uh Pats. Yeah, Pats are going to win
45:38
this one.
45:39
>> Even though they're second strings are
45:40
going to be out there, but yeah, Pats
45:42
again.
45:42
>> Do you think the second strings will be
45:43
good?
45:43
>> Dolphins are traveling up. Yeah,
45:46
Dolphins are traveling up to a very cold
45:48
Gillette stadium. It's they they never
45:50
perform well in the cold. They're going
45:53
to buckle.
45:53
>> Okay.
45:54
>> Bears and Lions. Nate, we all know
45:56
Nathan's going to pick here. Bears or
45:58
Lions?
46:02
>> Oh, this is this is an interesting one.
46:04
Who's who's at home? Bears, Lions. Which
46:06
ones? Which ones? Which ones? Why can't
46:08
I see the Bears Lions?
46:11
Oh, there it is. Uh I think the Bears on
46:13
this one. Bears a nice one.
46:17
>> Hang on. Right. Let's look at this
46:18
playoff picture. The Bears are
46:20
guaranteed a home game, aren't they?
46:23
>> Yeah. Yeah, they're they've they've
46:25
clinched the division. So,
46:28
>> on that note, I will be picking the
46:30
Lions cuz I imagine the Bears are going
46:32
to rest the players. These are some
46:34
random picks, by the way, folks. Um,
46:36
Broncos and Chargers. Who are you
46:38
picking here, mate?
46:39
>> Home team.
46:40
>> Broncos. Yeah.
46:42
The better team. I think the Broncos
46:44
will win. Um, do you think Caleb
46:46
Williams stays in to hit 4,000 yards
46:48
this season? Then he's
46:49
>> I mean, that's that's an achievement,
46:51
isn't it? But then again, we look at
46:52
Saquon Barkley were the same as last
46:54
year. He had the chance to break the
46:55
record and the overruled him and the
46:58
coaches overruled him and said, "No,
47:00
you're not."
47:01
>> Um, and I know he begged him to go in.
47:04
Um, so I don't think uh I don't think
47:06
Ben Johnson is going to let Caleb go in.
47:10
>> Charges. Are you mental? I'm not even
47:12
calling you back. I'm definitely not
47:13
calling you back now. Are you mental?
47:16
Charges arresting the players. Broncos
47:18
aren't. No. No chance. Whatever drugs
47:20
you're on, stop. Drugs are bad.
47:23
Um, and then we got the Bills against
47:25
the Jets. It's the Bills. I don't care.
47:26
The Bills could rest the team. The The
47:28
Bills could have the under 19s. The
47:29
Bills could have the C team, the the D
47:32
team, the the Jets are just awful. So,
47:34
I'm going to go for the Bills in this
47:35
one.
47:35
>> Yeah, it's last game in Orchard Park, so
47:37
it'll be a good
47:39
>> last last game. They move to their new
47:41
stadium next year. So
47:43
>> interesting to see how they um how they
47:46
close the season out.
47:47
>> And then
47:49
the game of the week, Steelers against
47:52
the Ravens. I'm going to let you go
47:54
first.
47:56
And if you pick homefield advantage, I'm
47:57
going to re reach through this screen.
48:00
So, I'm I'm I'm picking this team
48:03
because I've heard rumors that Lamar
48:05
Jackson is still questionable whether
48:08
he's
48:08
>> Did he train?
48:10
>> He's been training, but that's no I
48:12
mean, I know the Ravens did this earlier
48:13
on in the season, didn't they? There's a
48:15
whole scandal about it.
48:16
>> Yeah.
48:17
>> Um but I think
48:19
>> I think Aaron Rogers is is going to come
48:21
out firing on this one and he's going to
48:23
>> he's going to put it against he's going
48:25
to put it against the Ravens.
48:28
which which does complete my homefield
48:30
advantage streak. [laughter]
48:34
>> I'm I'm picking the Ravens on this one.
48:36
Um I would love for football for for
48:40
Baltimore for everyone. I'd love for the
48:43
Ravens to to do and look I like Aaron
48:46
Rogers but that whole being five and one
48:49
and five whatever you want to call it
48:51
and to come back would be phenomenal.
48:54
To be fair, I'd rather play the Steelers
48:57
than the Ravens in the playoffs. Um,
49:00
>> yeah,
49:02
>> we'll see. So, that's that. Have you got
49:04
any plans this week, mate?
49:06
>> Um, [clears throat and cough] no,
49:08
nothing this week, actually. Uh, got
49:09
back to work tomorrow, so
49:12
had a nice couple of weeks off.
49:13
>> I'm back in Paul, ain't you? You've been
49:15
a bit
49:16
>> Oh, mate. I'm I'm I'm full of it, mate.
49:17
I'm full of it. I'm um I'm over the most
49:19
of it. I've had two lovely hot baths.
49:22
Um, but no, busy December back into
49:25
2025. I My aim in 2020, sorry, 2026 is
49:29
to sell 500 cars.
49:32
So,
49:33
>> that's like two cars a day.
49:34
>> No, no, no. Hear me out, bro. Hear me
49:36
out. So, um, I started selling in my
49:38
place in March. So, they put me on
49:40
training for two months, you know, to
49:42
make sure I'm selling selling to their
49:43
standards. Great company. And um I was
49:46
the number one seller by 40 free cars
49:48
even though I had a twomon
49:51
they had a two-month head start. I
49:54
>> you just got the gift of the gav. Yeah.
49:55
That's
49:57
do you know what it is? So so it's just
49:59
got to be an enjoyable experience. If
50:01
you're not enjoying the whole process of
50:03
of buying a car and even buying anything
50:04
like like of that amount, it's not being
50:07
done properly. So you know I like to get
50:08
to know me customers. I have a good
50:10
laugh. Try and relate to something with
50:12
them. any guy who's above 6'2 and 20
50:14
stone, I try and get him to join the a
50:17
football team and and all that.
50:19
Literally, you you ever played American
50:20
football? No. You ever thought about it?
50:21
You know, you get it. You get to do all
50:23
sorts and get away with it, you know,
50:24
mate. And they're like,
50:27
you know. Yeah. Um but but no. Um MV
50:31
What's MVP of Stream Games gets a car?
50:35
