• 0:04
  Speaker 1: NFL Game Deview is a production of the NFL in
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, welcome to Game Deve you. Patrick Claybound here
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: with not just these gifts, but these two gifts Greg
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Rosenball and Cynthia Freeland here to get you every bit
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: of information you need to properly decide how you feel
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: about these football games.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Hey guys, hey bus, this was this the like the dance.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: I just don't like that he's trying to butter us
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: up with these gifts before he just quietly sticks the
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: knife in with these great picks every week.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: I know he's crushing us.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Well, here's gift us some picks with full context. Greg
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: led last week in the Picks he went eleven and five. However,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I still reluctantly wear that crown.
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: I did mind not reluctantly.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Well, my thoughts on monarchy are perhaps complicated.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: As on this show. You can have a monarchy.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, there it is one and seventy seven on the season,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: just a few games, I think four. My math is
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: properly which is always a problem. I had to sit
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: through freely. Hey, Greg closing winning two consecutive weeks. Let's
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: discuss some football folks. It was just two weeks ago.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: The Bears and the Packers met up in Green Bay.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Less than thirty seconds ago. Driving to tywer win the game,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams was picked off by Keishaw Nixon. The Packers
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: won twenty eight, twenty eight to twenty one. It feels
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: like a lifetime ago because since then the Bears stopped
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the Browns, the Packers lost Micah Parsons for the season.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: A lot has transpired since then, to the extent that
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: next Gen Stats is finally believing in the Chicago Bears.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: They have them at forty three percent probability to win
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the division, just behind the Green Bay Packers there at
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: fifty one percent. Packers haven't lost in the division all season.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Good, you see, that is one of the reasons why
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: you gotta like the Packers.
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: Here four and oh the Bears are one in three.
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: It's ridiculous.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: It's okay. Well, the Packers Bears rematch was Saturday in Chicago.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Romo Dunes and Luther Burden are out for Chicago. Do
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the Bears. Although it feels like you're not leaning that way.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Get some rum I like to spoil my picks, but First,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I want to spoil something that happened in the offseason.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: You have to remember Ben Johnson's press conference when he
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: took the job in Chicago. I think laid the groundwork
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: for what's going to happen on Saturday. And to be
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: quite frank with you, I kind of enjoyed beating Matt
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Lafleur twice a year.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: Oh you dirty dog, Ben.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: It was so big.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he like paused, he said it, and he was
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: practiced so many times. And look, I'm sure he did
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: like beating it. But he had Dan Campbell by his
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: side this time, and the first time they met, he
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: did not get that victory. Matt Lafleur then gave the
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: drive by handshake heard around the world and Ben Johnson,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna talk your your game, you gotta deliver.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: And I think this is a big moment for Matt lafle.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: It really was.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Matt Lafleur has been in this division for seven years.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: It is the third year with Jordan Love as his quarterback,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: and I think their program, their organization is further along
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: than Ben Jonson's.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: It's not a fair fight.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: So even without Michael Parsons, I like the Packers getting
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: it done.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It did become one point closer for me, but I
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: still have the Packers as well, twenty four to twenty two.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I think when you look at Josh Jacobs, who has
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: been you know, a little banged up and take its
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: rest in terms of not practicing, I don't really care.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: That was the talk last week as well.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: When I'm looking at his verse sight, this team wants
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: to run first and then pass off of all of
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the different run concepts.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: So he's a straw that starts to drink.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Here the Bears defense, there are a very high interception
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: team leading the league. Well, what is the best way
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: to not turn the ball over through the air?
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Run the dang football.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: So ultimately, to me, the opportunity to keep Josh Jacobs
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: going and keep him ahead of a six, like just
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: keep that positive momentum going and like momentum, but keep
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: that positive trajectory going in that case, But Josh Jacobs
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: is the difference maker.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can make the case. He was the best
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: offensive player on the field for the Packers against the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Denver Broncos. Great offensive team and a solid defense. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: believe in the Chicago Bears, I've got one point for
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the Bears. Yes, we're barking here, and I'm gonna pay
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: off on a promise that I made a couple of
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: weeks ago. I said close game. The next time I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: picked this game, I'm gonna take the home team and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that. And the playoff highlighted when we
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: discussed that game was Michael Parsons. This time it's DeAndre Swift.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: He has an explosive run rate of seventeen percent. Since
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the Bears came back from the bye, they have more
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: explosive runs than anybody in the NFL. I think they
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: ride that run game to a great win for the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Chicago Bears and get the inside track in the North.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: It's time for the feel good story of the Week,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: presented by Geico. The winner of this game takes sole
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: possession of first place in the North Cynthia. Which quarterback
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: more likely to throw for over two hundred and twenty
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: five yards?
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Is it Jordan or came it's Jordan?
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Do I know who exactly? It goes to?
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: No, because it seems like every so often it's like, hey,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: this is the robo dabs game, Okay, this is Christian
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Way whatever. So there's some injuries there. I don't care
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: who it is. I think that it is going to
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: be Dan. I know I just talked about not turning
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the ball over, But.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Do you know what Jordan Love does. Oh, just a
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: thirty eight to.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Five touchdown interception ratio, which is the best in the league.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: So it's not really so much of a concern in
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: this one.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the other quarterback, Kayleb Williams, has given his
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman marvel comic nicknames. He calls Drew Dolman Hulk
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and speaking of a very large and various like that name,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: maybe you know Bruce Banner is also very smart? Uh.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Dk Metcalp also big, strong, and on a bit of
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a hot streak.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: Right now, one in the plate clock gets a snap
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: Dolphins bringing pressure throw over the middle. It is completely
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: dk Metcalp pearls aside. One defender chick arm another hit
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: the hand zone bit at Pittsburgh standers touchdown.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: What an effort my dk Metcalp. Physicality on full display.
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: Dk Metcalp caught that in traffic, had a man on him,
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: pushed them aside, sidestepped another guy, and waltzed into the.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Like he owned the place, which he does here at
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Act Forshure. Congratulations on the purchase of a new in zone.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: We're talking real estate before this year, so tell you something.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: DK is in possession of that in zone. Steelers' Lions
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: in Detroit this week. Pittsburgh currently on top of the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: AFC Northwall. Detroit is in must win mode if they
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: want to make the playoffs. Do they get the win
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: that they need?
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: They get the win in what I think is going
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: to be a score fest. So if you're looking at
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: that number, I like it to go over. But I
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: like the Lions to get thirty points in this game.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Twenty six for the Steelers because Jared Goff is playing
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: his best football of the season, even while they're losing games.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: I've been really impressed. For instance, they're watching this Rams performance.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: He was under pressure. He delivered a lot of dimes,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: including that one to Jamison Williams. You think about some
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: of the tougher moments they lost, that game they lost
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: on Thanksgiving. I think he was up for the challenge
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: in those weeks, a leader for this team stepping up.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: And then you think about the matchup this week without
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: the Steelers as healthy. TJ what nick herbig If you
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: don't pressure Jared Goff. You are going to lose, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: this Steelers defense has been getting by I don't think
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: they will this week.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Well, you have four points, I have six points. I
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: have twenty nine to twenty three in this matchup.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Listen, I'm a Lions fan. I can tell you this.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: All Lions hands will tell you this is not the
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: week that they break your heart. It is either next
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: week on Christmas when they should win the game, or
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: the following week just to kind of keep your hope
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: really just at the penultimate hope. But look at Jamier games.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: You talk about who the best player on the field
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: has been. I agree that Jared Gos's been great, but
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: but for zero, things would not be in this spot
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: where they're even considering the playoffs given all of the
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: injuries to the defense, et cetera.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Now you also talked about those missing pieces of the
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Steelers defense with TJ. Watt and maybe Nick Herbig.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Well, what is the best way to just not even
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: worry about pressure. I'll run right at it, run right
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: where the vacancy left by TJ. Water Nick Herbig happens
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: to be, which is actually a pretty good spot for
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Jamiir Gibs to run and this is very fund success.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: And then compound that with the fact that the Steelers
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: over their past three games have given up five yards
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: per rush. I think this is a nice, big get
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: right moment for Jamier Gibbs, Jamior Gibbs fantasy owners who
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: were very mad at him last week in what wasn't
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: his fault.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we have an entire segment on NFL Fantasy I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: have called chillbro where we try to get people to
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: understand that the player would like to score points as well.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I think Jamiir Gibbs is great, and as Greg pointed out,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: JG's playing really good football right now. So whyn't want
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to take the guy that JAG's throwing the ball to
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: a lot and that's Jamison Williams. It's unanimous, folks. I
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: also have a six point win for the Detroit Lions
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Jamison Williams. You know, they've got some guys who've played
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of football in that Steelers secondary, and I
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: envisioned Jamison running past them a significant amount of time.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: He got shut out back in Week twelve. Since then,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: he's had three or more games, excuse me, three games
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: with more than seven catches two of those games yet
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: north of one hundred and thirty yards. So yeah, if
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: you're a Steelers fan who watching want to chronicle or.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Choice of all life, of course, we love yins.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Feel free to photograph this image and send it to
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: us in the event that we were wrong. We don't
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: necessarily think so Vegas expecting fireworks in this one. They've
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: got it projected as the highest scoring game of the week.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Why don't we take a look at the rest of
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the highest totals according to our friends at Caesars Chargers
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Cowboys featured once again and containing the streak. The Cincinnati
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Bengals defense on the spoard once again even against Quinn.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: You were it's wild that game above the Bengals. It's
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a game that we're pretty focused on. The Patriots and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the Ravens. The NFL Daily Bowl, Poor Game Day View Bowl.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: Bengals bringing four Jackson towards the m.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Zone and it is cut Flowers for the Ravens touchdown.
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: Lamarde Jackson surgical with that pass.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Patriots Rayvens on Sunday Night Football. Baltimore looked significantly better
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: last week in Cincinnati, but are still looking up at
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: the Steelers in the division. New England blew a twenty
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: one point lead to the Bills last Sunday. Do they
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: exercise those demons, Gregg?
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: I think they do.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I think they do it in a way that you've
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: been talking about all season. Patrick explosive plays Patriots are
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: the new Ravens move aside, Lamar Jackson, you're athletic, You're fine. Hey,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Drake may was scrambling and making some plays with his
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: legs last week too. But these are the types of
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: throws of why I'm picking them in this game. Traveon
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Henderson and the explosive passing game has been consistent all season,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: and for a while I didn't quite believe it. Can
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: you really build an offense out of Kayshawn Boody deep shots?
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: Ah?
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah you can.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: How about maccollins making plays down the field like Kyle
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Williams has about four catches and half of them are
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: long touchdowns. And it's really about this man number thirty two,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: who yes, already leads the Patriots franchise all time in
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: fifty yard plus touchdowns four already this season. I think
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: he could do it again and beat the Ravens at
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: their own game with big time touchdowns.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: When you talk about beating the Ravens at their own game,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: what comes to mind for me mobile quarterback, which is
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: what Drake May is, Which is why I have New
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: England winning twenty four to twenty three. Last week, he
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: got Josh Allen and he learned something from that. Right
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: he in the first half, Josh Allen was not Josh Allen.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Then something happened at halftime. He put on the cape
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: and in the second half Josh Allen turned back into
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the superhero that we all expected. Drake May has many
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: of the same attributes as Josh Allen, so I think
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: what we're gonna see here. Even though his offensive coordinator says,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I want to get the ball in the hands of
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Trevion Henderson more, I still think it is Drake May's
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: ability to make things happen. Throwing on the run, just brushing, scrambling,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: you know, whatever it needs to be. This man is
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the guy who's up for anything that the defense could
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: give me.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I like it when the Model goes for a three
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: point on your dog. It's like the model woke up
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: feeling frisky.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Model's very frisky.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: The model is an ever present the circumstance, we're constantly
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: watching to see what it does. I'm going against the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: model here. I'm going to the Baltimore Regular with a
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: got twenty seven to twenty six win, and what I
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: do think will be a score fest, both teams going
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: up and down the field, but in those types of matchups,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: as Greg points out, with teams that make explosive plays,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: making the big play, having those big moments. And there's
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a former Patriot that had a big moment last week
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: in cal Vanoyd, that I think has a solid game.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: In fact, cal Vanoy is third on the team in pressures,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: but he has seventy seven and one hundred and three
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: fewer pass rushes than the two guys who are in
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: front of him. And how about just plays like this,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: We're I think tournovers are gonna be big in this game.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: The chunk plays great, great TV for Chris Collinsworth from
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Mike Turrico and everybody watching at home about the Ravens
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: get one more than than the Patriots and get a win.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Shout out to Bill Belichick for saving Kyle van Noy
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: from the Detroit Lions franche time and career around and.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Also deciding to move on from him, and so now
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: you can play for a couple of other teams. It's
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: time for Who's Eating Good? Presented by Applebee's. Lamar had
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: two touchdown passes on just twelve attempts in last week's win.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Will we throw for over or under a one and
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a half touchdowns against the Patriots?
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: And I think he throws for at least two passing touchdowns.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: I know there was a streaker he didn't throw for
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: any and it was crazy and people were like, what's
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: wrong with him?
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Is he broken?
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I don't necessarily need them to be these deep shots
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: like you're seeing on your screen. I think that they
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: could be shorter passes to tight ends. Let's just go
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: with the higher probability situation. Lamar Jackson, although he looked
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: great last week, he hasn't necessarily looked like himself all
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: season long.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Shorter passes just get in the end zone. I think
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: at least two.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: Outside in the Franklin in motion, bo takes a snap
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: four man pressure, Bow climbs the pocket, throws the.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Ball to the end zone, touchdown, Denver try.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: Franklin bow Knicks's fourth touchdown pass of the game. Great
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: anticipation on that one, Franklin goes high above his helmet
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: with two hands to snag the ball four yards deep
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: from the south end zone, and Denver is in front.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Twenty seven to twenty three verses the season for cent
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: of by Seasons book. As we look at the first
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: touchdown score odds in the big AFC matchup between the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Jags and the Denver Broncos, it's Etn and R. J.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Harvey leading the way, with Portland Sutton and the trade
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: deadline acquisition Jacobe Myers rounding out that top four. Let's
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: talk some more about this mega matchup at Mile High.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: The Broncos the hottest team in the league. They've won
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: eleven straight. Trevor Lawrence coming off a six touchdown performance.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Who wins this potential playoff preview?
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Cynthia, I mean, I love what the Jags have been
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: putting together, but I have Denver winning this one twenty
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: five to twenty one. I'm looking at Boonix and all
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: the ways that he has improved.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: The defense was.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Really bolstering this team to begin the season, and now
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: we're starting to see a lot of different types of
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: passes in tight coverage on the We always know he
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: throws on the run, but on the run into tight coverage.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Okay, we're adding to your game. So look at this
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: one right here.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: You know Courtland Sutton got opened for that, but ultimately
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: you're looking at the Packers defense, who for the majority
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: of the game was with Micah Parson, so it's not
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: like this is happening without him. You have a really
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: good opportunity in this matchup not to just have screen passes,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: but to really overcome a Jags defense is not bringing
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: anywhere near the amount of pressure that the Packers were
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: working with last week.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I am with you, Cynthia. I've got a one
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: point win for the Denver Broncos twenty four to twenty three.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Somebody has to lose this game between really good teams.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I will take the team that always plays at two
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty feet versus the team that plays at
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: four feet above sea level for the Jacksonville Jaguars long
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: road trip.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Did you google that?
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I googled the average elevation of Everbanks Stadium. For this
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: lead in, A key part will be you got to
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: cover all these talented Jags and tal no Hufunga is
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: going to be a piece that dvance Joseph can deploy
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: at fifteen weeks the season. Through fifteen weeks, he had
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: the lowest yards per target in the league among safeties.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: And yeah, so many guys catch passes for the Jags
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: involved in the run game. I think they need a
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: big ufunga game and I think they get a great Okay.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: So there was a moment in last week's Jaguars game
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: where I became a believer. And it was a moment
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: after Trevor Lawrence had an incredible touchdown and you know
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: what he did to the sideline.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: He did this and they might think that it's the
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: Michael Jordan's shrug, but it was.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Actually the just Greg that was coming this week Jaguars
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: over the Broncos.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be the ambush. What do they call it?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: The uh?
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Sure? Back when Mark Brunell and the Jaguars okay.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: One back in the nineteen ninety six playoffs against the
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Broncos team, very similar score here, a three point win
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: in a score fest. And this time, instead of Brunell
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: and John Elway, it's Trevor Lawrence and Bo Nick And
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: you know what, they're playing like a couple Hall of famers.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: At least the last couple of weeks. This is the
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: best Trevor.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Lawrence has ever looked, and he's doing it to the
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: intermediate part of the field. They are really spamming these
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: throws from ten to nineteen yards and you see some
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: of the dumpoffs here. That's great because of the weapons,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: but it's really about those intermediate throws. And I do
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: think if there's anywhere pick on in the Broncos defense,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: that's it against some of those linebackers in safeties.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Let's go Trevor looking forward to.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: This matchup between Lawrence and Knicks, who are twenty six
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and twenty five, respectively. They were both less than six
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: years old when Philip Rivers threw his first career touchdown.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Now it's twenty twenty five and the literal grandfather still
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: doing it. Two by two formation for Rivers looking over
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: that defense full on the play, Cup takes a step
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: three step drop, looking grows inside the five, touchdown for
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the Colts and it's toudowns across the goal line.
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: Touchdown.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I E. D.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Why and the Colts now are on top twelve to
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: three man. Philip Rivers came off the couts. It came
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: out here throwing dimes, Hutchdowns, goes across the field, he
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: sees them, gets the ball to him. I love how
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: he gets it to him for six Rivers and the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Colts playing host of the Niners on Monday Night football.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Rivers coming up just short last week in Seattle, Indie
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: in must win mode to keep the playoff hopes alive.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Do they maintain that liveliness.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Card they do not win this week, they will not
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: be eliminated though this week, and they will keep it
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: closer than that big number indicate twenty two to twenty.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I liked the defensive effort from the Colts last week,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: but I also liked what I started to see from
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Philip Rivers.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Okay, now everyone this week was like, Hey, I hate
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: to be the spoil sport, but I got to be
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: the truth teller. He actually didn't play that well last
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: week in this guy like no kidding.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: They had a lead late in the game where he
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: led the offense to a leading field goal, so they
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: could have won that game. He was managing. You know what,
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: He might actually get better at forty four years old
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: with another week to get it going, and they can't
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: rush the passers. So I think Phil plays well this week,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: But ultimately I do love that forty nine ers offense
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: and they win by.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Just a little I don't know how to follow that
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: because I don't know who you were impersonating, but it
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: was just a.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Lot of people like great.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: They I'm really sorry to point out Philip Rivers didn't
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: play that well.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Thank you, truth teller, bold troof color voice.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think the truth teller is actually George Kittle,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: who he sums up pretty much this whole Niner season
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: for me with one tweet. Have a look at it,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: so it says he's just that Jesus Christ lizard running
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: on water, no ball security, fake pitching.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: It at the end of a forty yard rum. Absolutely
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: just diabolical behavior. Bry ur qb one, I love it.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Let's look at the play here, because you do need
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: to have to watch us. Okay, so obviously he drops back,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: he's looking to throw, and nothing's open. He scrambles to
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: the left.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Oh I'm gonna faked you again, And now what's gonna happen?
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no, no, you can't bring me down.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Oh sorry, sorry, Cody Burton, I apologize for Biffy and
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: then he walks up to revers like, I don't know
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: what I did, man, so he told everyone after he apologized,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: look at this you Nope. My point is is they're
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: quietly a very very fun team and a very like
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: they're doing it with players.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: We some of their defensive players.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: I have a hard time pronouncing their names because they
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: weren't in that thing they give us at the beginning
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: of the season with the pronunciation guy.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: And yet they're still in a position where they could
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: easily at least I.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Mean, they're going to make the playoffs, but they could
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: even potentially be the one seat still, which is bananas,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: if they.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Win in the division. So I'm looking at them.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: I just think it's a lot more fun than maybe
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: we've been giving it credible. I don't know what a
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ lizard is, but I'm in.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: I'm in.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: I don't know what it is, but I'm in.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I'll get the full taxonomy for you, which you know
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: my predilection for looking things up. Yeah, it's running, and
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: of course it doesn't have the necessary weight to penetrate
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: the waters either way, No.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Got it, got it. It's going so fast that it
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: doesn't sink.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I understand now, It's just just like brop party and
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: the team managing to not sink despite all of those
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: injuries that they've had this season, including for Juwan Jennings.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I've got the forty nine Ers winning twenty three to eighteen,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and he scored a touchdown. Jennings has in four of
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: his last five games. He had two against the Tennessee
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Titans last week, and he trails CMC by thirty four targets.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Because you know, the amount of they rely on Christian
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: is on slipananas. But if you'd like another Niner who's
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: at the team on his back when he's able to play,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: look no further than Juwan Jennings. Just eight again, a
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: team that's gonna be around, gonna be in the postseason
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: depending on how things go.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: I really might be playing for that one seed.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: They truly could be.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is all available because we can do the math.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: So let's do some more math. Jonathan Taylor has slowed
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: down for the past few weeks. Cynthia. Does he go
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: for over ninety four yards in this one?
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I do think he does not, because I think it's
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: gonna look great. But we are missing a ton of
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: pieces from the forty nine ers defense. We are seeing
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: a lot of volume to Jonathan Taylor, that is a
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: smart way to you know, put to rest some of
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: those guys who to be the truth to I love
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: that person. That voice needs to call me and just
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: like hang out with me later. So I think Jonathan
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Taylor does.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Have a big day.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: It's not for the reid presented by Microsoft co Pilot.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Microsoft Copilot, your AI companion for NFL Game Day and
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: every day, we ask Copilot to pick the one player
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: that could thick flip the momentum of the Bucks Panthers
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: game and co pilot with Baker. Mayfield Likes's ability to
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: extend plays and make clutch throws under pressure. Worth noting,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: it's a revenge game for Baker who played for a
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: hot second in Carolina. Things didn't necessarily go well, Matt
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: rules coach, and that would be the Baker revenge game.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Bucks and Panthers battling from the top spot in the
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: NFC South. These teams played twice in the next three weeks.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: So how does round one go, Cynthia, I think the.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Bucks take this one twenty five to twenty one. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: want to point out something here that you don't see
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: this very often, and this is from their coach.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: So just have a look here.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: You can't sugar coach that was in the excusable and
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: he has no pansom for it.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: There are ten bleeps, ten explatives. I believe they all
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: begin with the same letter. And I'm looking at that
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: and that is not normal Todd Bowles behavior, which is
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: it's just strange, and either is what's going on with
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: their defense specifically. So I believe that when you have
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: a leader like Todd Bowles and you have him say
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: publicly so many swear words, you're gonna get the.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Best out of the player going forward.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: This is a situation where like, I don't want to
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: mess you.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Put that in the model like Todd bow swear words
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: divided by I.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: Mean, I should Todd.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: But when you act out of character like that in
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: a very passionate way, it's kind of like new coach syndrome,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: right like where you get like this fire lit under
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: your bump. Also, it helps that you know, Mike Evans
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: all the players could be back. That's very helpful as well.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: So I'm looking at the bucks and all those swear words,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: and I think that they managed to get it done
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: by four points.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, Cynthia. I've got a two point
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Buccaneers win here. I would like to pick the Carolina Panthers.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: There's just a couple of things that are pushing me
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: away from that circumstance, and they both involve this Bucks
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: defense and the Panthers offense. Bryce Young When he throws
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: the ball against the Blitz, the results have not been good.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: It's been a seventy nine passer rating, six touchdowns, five interceptions.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: That combined with the fact that Jamel Dean is probably
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: considering the sides of the field they normally play on
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: gonna be lined up over Tetoroa McMillan, and you've got
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: to go back to twenty eighteen to find a guy
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: with a lower passer rating when targeted downfield. I've got
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: the Bucks winning and making Todd Bowles feel a little
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: bit better for I.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: Do as well.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: This concerns me because just when you think the Panthers
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: are gonna lose, that's when they figure it out. But
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: I got the Bucks winning twenty one to seventeen in
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: par Because what are the Panthers.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: I don't know what they are.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: I thought they were a good running team, like that's
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: their identity. Right, offensive line and running over the last
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: month plus since they're by they are twenty ninth in the.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: NFL and EPA per rush thirtieth in success.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Right, I'm showing you a negative running game Carolina snuff
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: film right now, and they just can't.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: Get anything done.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: If football guys have taught me one things over the years,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: it's like, you need to run the ball, you need
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: to stop the run. And the Carolina Panthers are bottom
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: five in both categories over the last month, and I
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: just think that they would be tougher upfront.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Dude, he just had another character Telly voice and tough
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: guy voice, sun It tough.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: Guy voice and then football guy voice. I mean, we've
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: got so much.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Going very the tough guy voice very similar like Mark Schlareth.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: You know you got you gotta run the ball, you
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: got stop the run.
• 25:06

  Speaker 2: the Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card let's make some
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: quick picks here on game debut Raiders and Texans in Hetown.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Houston has won sixth straight. Greg Rosenthal famously makes a
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: statement sometimes with scores, I'm interested to know what score
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: you have for this.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: This statement here is by the Raiders defense who picks
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: up a safety as part of a twenty six to
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: five loss. Only three points on offense, But good job
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: by Max Crosby. Unfortunately, the Texans offense is playing too
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: well to really for the Raiders to deal with.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: How about this play from Nicocollins and CJ. Stroud right
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: out the gate last week.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: If you had the Texans like Cynthia did, winning big,
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: you felt good.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: Nico Collins one of the best receivers.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: How many yards you have on that?
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Over fifty fifty two?
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: But if it was seventy five or more, that's more
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: than the Raiders had in their entire.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Game less well, and it's absolutely outrageous. And Nico did
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: go over seventy five gone the game. He is playing
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: elite ball. And it is so great to see c J.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Stroud with some protection looking like one of the best
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the league.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: They went easy.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go in to the Bengals and Dolphins, with
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: the quarterback situations not necessarily great for the Dolphins to
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: a talk about Little getting benched for quinn Ewers, both
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: teams out of the playoff race. Who feels a little
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: bit better after this?
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Cincinnati feels better? Twenty eight to twenty one is my
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: final score. I'm looking at Joe Burrow, and last week
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: was a weird one. All these fantasy people getting mad
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: in my playoffs.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Joe Burrow let me down, boob, it doesn't matter. It's
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: gonna be fine.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Now now I've added another character like the very youthful
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: fantasy player. But I'm looking at Joe Burrow's ability to
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: diagnose and figure out the defense.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: It seems like there's potentially I'm gonna call it a fire.
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: Sale in Miami.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: Let's who's like some finance terms. It's maybe it's not great.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Things aren't don't feel great there, vibes aren't strong. So
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I think Joe Burrow has a strong game.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Oh and yet her I thought my season was gonna
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: be then he came back, and he looks so good
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: when you get on the playoffs.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: The voice episode of Game debut, Let's go to a
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: bird Fest in the desert, the Falcons and Cardinals. I
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: will ride solo here with the Atlanta Falcons. I think
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: they win by two twenty five for twenty three Airzon Cardinals.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Folks have given up the most rushing yards in the
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: NFL since Week ten. They're playing against John Robinson, who, yeah,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: is one of the top running backs in the NFL.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you're pretty familiar with his game. And also,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins is doing what he does and that set
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: himself up for the best payday available. That's why Todd
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Bowles was stringing expletives because once again Kirk Cousins is
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: dis en up his defense. And yeah, it's Kirk tom
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: It's that time of year.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Here comes pressure Minshew Stance Tall throws downfield Turwit James
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and the game derwin, and the game.
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: Derwin second consecutive week.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: The Chargers end the game on an interception.
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: For all intents and purposes, the Chiefs are not going
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: to be part of the postseason for the first time
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: since twenty fourteen.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Now it's the Chargers in Cowboys and Arlington. Dallas has
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: a one percent chance to make the playoffs. According to
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Next ten sets, the Bolts just beat last year's Super
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Bowl teams and back to back weeks. Do they beat
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: the other team that beat last year's Super Bowl teams
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: and back to back weeks? Are there this season?
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Whatever answer means that the Bolts win by one point
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: is the answer that I'm going with.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Twenty six to twenty five is my score in this one.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: I just want to talk about lad McConkie because if
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: you look at the opportunity against this Dallas defense, especially
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: if they're missing any pieces up rn, of course they are.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: You know, we don't know if Quinn Williams will play.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: He's been in the concussion protocol, but things get better
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: first quarterback if he doesn't have to deal with that pressure.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: We know justin Hert's been under just a ton of pressure,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: the most hits, the most pressures in.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: The league, and tied to most sacks.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: But lad McConkie will create separation in a secondary that
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: has been some games on a milk card. So I'm
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: looking for a big game out of the second year receiver.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I think this will be a fun one if you're
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: a Chargers fan, perhaps a little frustrating if.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: You are a Dallas Cowboys fan.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: So often you know you focus on the negative them
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: giving up a lot of pressure. How about the pressure
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: that the Los Angeles Chargers are creating on defense.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: This is a defense first team.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: I like the Chargers to win this game twenty three
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: to twenty one in part because of Khalil mack A,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Dafeoay Tully, Tully Polow two.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Good job.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Look the first two names I said there rather Mac
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: and Tully Polow two. They are among the top ten
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: pass rushers in a number of metrics in terms of
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: tackles for loss, pressures, sacks like it's as good a
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: duo as there is basically in the league. And then
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: you add Oay in and a lot of times last
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: week they're just rushing those three players and no one else,
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: and Oway is rushing in the interior. You're dropping eight
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: into coverage, and they're creating pressure just the three of them.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Consider the mathematical advantage that is creating, and I think
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: they could do it on Sunday against a Cowboys team
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: that is not protecting Dak Prescott as well.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Right now, Yeah, that would be four straight wins for
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: the Chargers, which I also have them getting in the offense.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: We do have some concerns about the Chargers offense, but
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: those concerns all drift away when you face the twenty
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: twenty five Dallas Cowboys d They've given up more passing
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: yards than anyone else, despite being eleventh in terms of
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: number of attempts that they've faced from opposing quarterbacks who
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: have a passer rating of one hundred and nine. The
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: film thirty one touchdowns to only six interceptions, essentially like
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven Brett farv numbers by the quarterbacks that
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: have played against the Dallas Cowboys defense, except the Cowboys
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: haven't gotten any of the interceptions that far have, like
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the toss to the other.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: Teams Ranny drive by for five.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: No, well, maybe he's earned it. The Cowboys loss last
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: week provided the Eagles the inside track to the NFC
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: East Crown Philly has had their struggles recently, but they
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: got the hottest gift of the holiday season on the schedule.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: The Raiders hurts calling for the football. He's back again,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: he looks, he fires, and it is complete touchdown. Hey
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: J Brown twenty seven yards.
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: Boy, that's just such harmony, the rhythm, the timing, the
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: placement of the football.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: It's a play you can't even stop Philly, heading to
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: the Nation's Capitol and take on the Commander's Saturday. Washington's
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: shelf Jayden Daniels earlier this week, so Smarcus Mario starting
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: once again for Washington. They've been in some games, Greg,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: are they in this one?
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: They are not because I think the Eagles defense is
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: so good. They keep the score low. It's thirty to nine.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: But it's the offense of the Eagles that I really
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: like lately. If you saw what Jalen Hurts did against
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: the Raiders, and yes it is the Raiders, but let's
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: be real, the Commander's defense isn't that much better. They
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: got under center and that can help open up the
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: run game, but it really opened up Jalen Hurts and
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: the passing game in terms of the diversity of what
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: they can do. The top three games this year, Cynthia,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: I'm which they were under send it you want to
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: know which three offensive performances were the very best. Yes,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: in terms of EPA per playoff season, the three where
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: they were under center the most. It's a one to
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: one correlation causation. I think we can make the combination
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts, get him out of the shotgun we're gonna
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: do it against Washington.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Causation correlation combination. We have like a full news segment here.
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: I love it.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: I too have the Eagles winning. I have it a
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: little bit closer twenty six to twenty though.
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: Why.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's like some weird thing where it's
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: a very close fuck game. I think it's like one
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: of those last minute strange things that happen. I want
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: to see Saquon Barkley continue to be effective and useful
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: for this team.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: I know he had a stinger.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: I think he's off the injury report as of this recording.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: I think he's going to play. So I'm looking at
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: his opportunity to kind of be the guy in the
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: playoffs that this team needs him to be. They need
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: to figure it out, especially with Lane Johnson out yet
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: again in this matchup, they're going to need to figure out, Okay,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: what are the.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: Run principles that were to look at? This offense has
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: been weird, They've had some weirdness.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Things have been odd, But I think the thing that
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: is a stabilizing force would be getting sake one Barkley going,
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: especially as they look towards the postseason.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I also it's unanimous. I have the Philadelphia Eagles. I've
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: got one more point than Cithy. I do have that
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: number of seven twenty six to nineteen. And yeah, it's
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: the Eagles defense and a big part of it being
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Quenyon Mitchell. So I'm gonna talk Quenyon Mitchell because you
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: could watch five Eagles.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Games and never see him exactly.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: He's given up seven completions since the week nine. By
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: that's as many past defend that passes defended as he
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: had nine. When you throw the ball at Quenyon Mitchell,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: equal likelihood, he's gonna get the ball. His anthem the
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: ball as the player call. It's good.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: It's a great, great defensive. You come up with that stat?
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: Or was that next gen? Because that's pretty next.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: That's a next gen stat that's insight from NFL pro
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Because yeah, I just wanted to talk to Quenyon Mitchell
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: confirmed my priors. So which one I need from statistics
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: to make me feel good about the things I already feel.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I don't look now but nine and the Vikings have
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: won two games in a row.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: J J.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: McCarthy has he officially turned the corner? He said, well,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: he's got a fun match up with Jackson Dark and
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: the g met Our picks for Vikings, Giants, and the
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: rest of this weekend slate. Coming up next on game debut.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Sh.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: In Stride and a Beauty, What a Row? What a Cat?
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: Shiney, And that's Philip Rivers with a touchdown pass Man
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: Knocks has a newborn beyonditary, beyond guitar.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: But hay to the barn.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Folks. This Christmas unwrapped all day football with the NFL
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Holiday Games featuring Cowboys versus Commanders and Lions versus Vikings
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: on Netflix, then a primetime showdown on Prime Video Broncos
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: versus Chiefs, three games, one epic Holiday. For the full schedule,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: visit watch dot NFL dot com. Here on our show,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: it's time for quick picks. Let's start with the Vikings,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: who beat those Dallas Cowboys and the Giants. It's nine
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: versus Dart should be a fun one. Minnesota's won two
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: in a row. Do they make it three cent.
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: In they do?
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of surprising my model picking just a two
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: point win for Minnesota in this one twenty to twenty.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: But let's talk about nine here for a second, because
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: he's had some really interesting Now, I don't know if
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: I really like this move because he was trying to
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: get the top down to Justin Jefferson to do the
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: actual greedy but like it did work. But ultimately what
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: we're seeing is the thing that does matter as in
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: scoring the touchdowns. That is what he is able to do. Also,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: I saw CJ. Ham score a touchdown for them in
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: the red area this week. So if you're looking for
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: a quarterback that potentially could be a good fantasy pickup for.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: You, maybe JJ McCarthy runs it in on this one,
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: because if you're looking at CJ.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Hamp, I'm thinking maybe they're going to be creative in
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: the red area with runs in and you know you
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: can run on. I promise the Giants defense that I
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: would talk about how bad their run defense is until
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: they fix it.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: They're not fixing it.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: So I have to mention it.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, promise kept and we all oddly enough having the
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Giants with exactly twenty points. The Bills and Browns Buffalo
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: came back from down twenty one last week to beat
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: your patriots. Greg, do they roll here?
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: They do?
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: And they do it because of the ground game against
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: a good Browns defense, And I think Josh Allen is
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: quietly building that case. He's in the MVP conversation Patrick
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Claybon is adding points week after week, and I think
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: you should get extra points by taking out one of
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: the best defenses in the league. He has just put
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: his cape on. They've been pressing the button. In that
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: game against the Bengals, it was an incredible comeback against
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: the Patriots, and I just feel like, end of the season,
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen is the best player in the world and
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: if he just keeps doing that week after week, forget
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: the narratives.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: Maybe they just give him the award at the end
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: because he's just that kid.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the Jets and says, don't look now,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: but New Orleans has won two in a row. Do
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: they make it three in a rows?
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: Of they do?
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I actually really like this one this week. I have
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: a five point win for the Saints twenty four to nineteen.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: I think Tyler Shuck is really making the case that
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: he's the quarterback for them to build around for next season.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at his ability to just really make things
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: happen with his legs. He's finding receivers with a lot
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: of open grass in front of them.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: To run.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: They beat the Panthers, who don't know who the Panthers are,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: but at least Tyler Shuck does because they beat them
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: both times this season.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: So I'm looking at Tyler Shuck and saying, you.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Know, he started like really maybe when we were doing
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: like our draft evaluation, I like, I liked his ability.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: We look at his Louisville film and map it out here.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: Perhaps that's something we're next season. They can make it
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: even better for him, give him more, surround him with
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: more to work with.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: I didn't like him much, and I'm taking that l early.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: I thought he would struggle against pressure. He had all
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: the injuries. He's an older rookie quarterback.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Old people are cool, and you know what, he looks.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: Like, a very athletic, ready to go quarterback who's not
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: afraid to make throws at the tight windows.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: And also direct the same situation, because watching the Louisville take,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: you see a guy who was dealing with those injuries.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe he was still dealing with them because he's moving
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: around really great, running the ball very well here down
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: the stretch for the Saints. Let's go to the Chiefs
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: and Titans case eliminated from playoff contention last week, Patrick
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Mahomes has been placed on IR. The surgery is pending,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: and I think Tennessee actually gets the win here by
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: a score of nineteen seventeen. I am fine being by
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: myself because I wonder just how much are we gonna
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: invest in these veteran Chiefs players playing late into the
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: season where they've been eliminated from playoff contention. You're watching
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: this ground game and how it's operated with Patrick Mahomes
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: were the most explosive runner for the Kansas City Chiefs,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: was wearing fifteen, the MVPs, the Super Bowl MVPs, everything
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: that Patrick Mahomes has been able to do, he was
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: doing all of it for the Chiefs this season. I
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: don't know if Gardner Minshew duplicates that, and I understand
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: it's against the Titans. I'm fine.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: There's been a lot of new ground, a lot of
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: low moments for the chief this season. I think being
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: the very last game mentioned in the E block of
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: this show with Patrick taking the two win Titans over
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: them like that is that is new territory.
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: The Chiefs have not been here.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: I think the Chiefs defense is still the best unit
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: in this game, so that's why I think a lower
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: scoring game.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: But the Chiefs sneak it out.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Min I'm on Mitch Hols. This's list of dollars and
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: disrespectors in the Kansas City Chiefs, So I don't think
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: it's anything. It's strange with regards to that coming up.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Shout out to the simmy side. It's not for the
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: final blow. Well, write this down a segment featuring our
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: favorite prop bets of the week. I know who I
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: want to take me home? Take me home, Greg Rose, Adalph.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: That's some picks for write this down. Our game debut
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: coming up next on NFL No.
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: One.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Time for us to write this down as into our
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: favorite PROMP predictions for Week sixteen that leadoff Grid.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, Justin Herbert this week against the Dallas Cowboys. I
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: think he's been playing like an MVP, but the numbers
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: haven't been there lately. This week, it all happens. Not
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: much of a pass rush for Dallas. I think Herbo
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: goes god mode. He goes over three hundred yards, so
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: he definitely goes over two forty four and to me,
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: he's on my MVP ballot, not the winner, but you
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: vote one through five. He's in my top five, and
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: I think he puts some numbers behind him.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: I'm glad I get a vote. Anyways, I'm looking at
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Jamar Chase. He doesn't see the end zone.
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: A while.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: We had that weird game from Joe Brow. I don't
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: care he's gonna score a touchdown against the Dolphin. I
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: know last week Joe Brow's like, I don't know if
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: I want to do this, blah blah blah blah blah.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: It doesn't matter. Merry Christmas. Get in the end zone
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: for Uno.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: Now this is the big one because Patrick Clayban is
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: twelve and four, let's gotten write this down this year,
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: and seventeen and nine on Stray Bond.
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: So this is the big one. Here we go.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, they're all big, they're all important, and
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: I think that Filks have been given an opportunity because
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: you go back, it hasn't happened since the game against
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys. That's Devonsa Smith going ohy receiving yards,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: and because it hasn't happened since then, the number gets
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: all the way down the sixties. So I think it's
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: a great opportunity for you to get another chance. For
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Debonza Smith, I guess another secondary that's had its share
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: of problems.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: Here in problematic things.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Things haven't necessarily gone great, but it's been great for
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: you to spend time with us here on game debut.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: For Cynthia and Greg, I'm Patrick. We'll see you next week.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Enjoy the games, everybody.
