NFL Week 5 Preview & Picks: Can the Vikings Go 5-0?! Ravens-Falcons SNF + More · Banter with the Boys

0:00
Get laced up. Let's go. It's time for Banter
0:04
with the Boys. Welcome back to Banter with the
0:14
Boys. Gridiron updates for our week five preview
0:19
and picks for the Vikings. We'll go 5 -0 this
0:21
week. We have Jake here with us. That was a good
0:27
point. Yeah. We have Jake here with us. He is
0:30
our local in -house Ravens fan. Yeah, that's
0:35
right. That's it. That's right. That's right.
0:37
Flock, yeah. Flock, yeah. Roberto, our other
0:43
co -host here, the fellow Viking fan. It sucks
0:47
he didn't do it because it's his thing, so I
0:49
was doing it with him, and he didn't do it. He
0:51
left you out to dry. That was on purpose. I'm
0:53
busy over here sitting on top of the little stage
0:57
up here. Number one, it's the tour de NFL, NFC.
1:03
Top wearing the yellow jersey. You know what?
1:06
I like the bicycle reference. I appreciate that.
1:08
That was nice. Yes, I love that. It's in the
1:11
one seat right now. Feels good. Right on. Guess
1:14
who we're going to start with? Oh, Kev is behind.
1:17
There he is. Hey, Kev. Oh, yeah, and I'm smelty.
1:20
I don't know if I said that. What are we going
1:21
to talk about? I might have missed that. What
1:22
are we going to say? The old preview and picks.
1:24
I definitely said that one. Okay. For week five.
1:28
Week five. The Vikes. Travel to the New Orleans
1:32
Saints. Again, another place we know, as we like
1:36
to say, as I like to say, I guess, not we. Tough
1:39
place to play. Just took one on the chin last
1:42
weekend, if you're the Saints, unfortunately.
1:45
Hard. Yeah, steamrolled. And unfortunately, I
1:50
don't think they're going to get steamrolled
1:51
this week, but I do anticipate the Vikings going
1:55
to 5 -0 because... It's truly, for me, excuse
2:02
me. First off, I think Tyler Shuck might throw
2:05
all over the Viking secondary. The Viking secondary
2:08
is super sus to me. Harrison Smith, I love you.
2:10
One of the lowest ranked safeties in the league
2:13
right now. And don't get me wrong, no camp, no
2:15
nothing. Just getting his legs back going. I
2:18
fully anticipate him at least continuing to contribute
2:22
to our squad at a higher level than he is now.
2:26
Is Shuck going over 250? Yes. And that's a concern
2:31
for the Vikings. Is it, though? I think for the
2:36
Vikings offense, yes, 100%. If Shuck goes over
2:39
250, I think that's concerning for the Vikings
2:41
offense to stay in the game, which we still haven't
2:44
seen a whole lot from yet. But, again, you watched
2:47
all 22. You said Kyler Murray, huge improvement.
2:50
KFC has came out and said huge improvement, trending
2:52
in the right direction. Those are my two trusted
2:56
guys right there. So, I mean, obviously, I got
2:58
to go with that. So, but no, I think, where was
3:02
I going with this? I think that the Vikings defense
3:04
is going to absolutely shut down the little bit
3:08
of run game the Saints even have. So, that's
3:10
going to be the difference, I think, for me.
3:12
It's going to be Shuck's passing game versus
3:14
the Vikings secondary. Like, who gets the best
3:17
there? You know, I think if Shuck goes over,
3:20
like, 350 or something, the Vikings lose the
3:22
game. But I'm hoping. That 250, I think that's
3:26
100%. You think that's easy? I think he gets
3:29
the 250, but the Vikings win. Vikings win. And
3:32
stay perfect. But I think it's going to be closer
3:34
than people want it to be for Vikings fans. I
3:36
think this is another seven, maybe seven -point
3:38
game or less. I mean, it's going to be tight.
3:40
It's going to be tight. Well, Vegas has them
3:42
at one and a half. So Vikings, it's tight. But,
3:46
I mean, in New Orleans. Yeah, Saints fans got
3:52
to be really disappointed about their teams.
3:55
prime time game this last week so i think the
3:58
saints are gonna come very aggressive in this
4:01
game so the vikings need to weather the storm
4:04
and i'd like to see them just you know get a
4:08
running game against obviously the saints defenses
4:10
they're difficult so we're jones had a nice game
4:15
we still need to get uh Claiborne going, we just
4:18
need a little more help. I want to continue to
4:20
see Murray. I mean, if we can get JJ back, but
4:23
it doesn't look like he's coming back. So, I
4:26
mean, that's another Addison. So, I mean, the
4:29
secondary of the Saints, they have a couple players
4:32
back there. So, I think it's definitely going
4:37
to be a tight game. I still think the Vikings
4:39
defense will confuse the second year, second
4:43
rounder. Tyler Schock enough where he makes a
4:46
mistake or two to keep the Vikings definitely
4:51
in this game. And I think they're going to squeeze
4:52
it out. But it's going to be down to the last
4:54
minute style game, I have a feeling. So get ready
4:57
to grow out your fingernails because there's
4:59
going to be some biting on them and sit at the
5:01
edge of your seat. Great. Nice. That's how I
5:03
spend every Sunday. Is it? Yeah. Oh, okay. What
5:08
do you think there? I think a lot of things.
5:14
What we do know is that the Vikings lead the
5:17
league in sacks. They do. With 16. They currently
5:22
lead the league in turnover differential, plus
5:25
five. Whereas the Saints are minus five in turnover
5:29
differential. No good. To your point, Justin
5:32
Jefferson's probably questionable if he does
5:35
actually play. How much of an impact is he really
5:39
going to be? Is he just going to end up being
5:41
that decoy for Addison? I'm fine with that. And
5:45
then, I mean, if that is in fact the case, I
5:48
think New Orleans will figure that out real quick.
5:52
You mean him not running Rousdownfield? Yeah.
5:55
How many plays does that take? Yeah, just a couple.
5:59
A couple jogs. But I still do worry about that
6:02
Vikings offense. They're second to last in total
6:04
yards. They don't move the ball well at all.
6:07
Not yet. But like Brian Flores, probably the
6:13
second best defensive coordinator in the NFL
6:15
right now behind Steve Spagnuolo. That was quick,
6:22
too. He was ready for that. So what I see happening,
6:26
because... As you've alluded to, New Orleans
6:28
can't run the ball really well or effectively.
6:30
I don't think that improves at all against the
6:34
Vikings. And I think it's going to be, it's going
6:39
to come down to Brian Flores and that front seven
6:43
and his blitz schemes. And how can he mask them
6:47
versus Tyler Shuck's ability to decipher that?
6:50
So my money is on Brian Flores. I'm picking Vikings
6:54
here. Yeah, boy. I do think it's going to be
6:56
close. But I think it's Brian Flores is going
7:03
to be or the Saints are going to be in a position
7:07
where they're just going to have to throw the
7:08
ball. advantage brian flores there it's like
7:11
hey we're gonna we're gonna send we're gonna
7:14
send four we're gonna send five we're gonna send
7:15
six we don't we're not telling you which ones
7:18
are coming ever and you have to figure it out
7:20
so a hundred percent advantage brian flores there
7:23
and i don't think um um kellen moore and shuck
7:28
will be able to work through that over the course
7:31
of the entire game But it'll be close. I think
7:33
it's going to be a really good game. Hey, I love
7:35
it out of there. We're out of Flock Nation here.
7:37
Winning stage five on the tour day NFL. We're
7:41
still on top. All right, let's hear it there,
7:45
Coach. Already did. Oh, did you? I opened. Yeah,
7:48
he picked Saints. I did not. With this, let's
7:53
move into our second game here. The old Ravens.
7:57
The other purple team. Traveling to the Atlanta
7:59
Falcons. Primetime football. Primetime football.
8:04
Roberto, why don't we start with you? Well, definitely.
8:08
I mean, this is all coming down to stopping Bijan
8:11
and the both Robinsons actually at this point.
8:14
Lamar, big question whether he plays. Ravens
8:18
obviously are a completely different team. We
8:20
record this on a Tuesday, so we don't know exactly
8:23
how it plays out. This will be the interesting,
8:27
because Pennix really, I think, playing his first
8:30
two games against the Green Bay Packers. I mean,
8:33
they got up big quickly. And then this last game
8:37
against New Orleans, he had to throw what he
8:39
threw like 12, 15 times. 20. He's 15 for 20.
8:44
And so, like, if he can keep his numbers down
8:46
to that, definitely the Falcons have an opportunity.
8:50
So it's whether the Ravens and Smith, they have
8:53
the linebacker that is very effective. We'll
8:56
see whether he still has, maybe he still has
8:59
the speed to keep up with the Robinson. Oh, it's
9:03
going to be a really fun game, but I think Tyler
9:05
Lupa is going to redeem himself from missing
9:08
that field goal for me on my fantasy team, but
9:11
I still got the dub, and I'm going to take the
9:12
Ravens. I think this is going to be a weird one,
9:16
though. I think it's going to be lower scoring
9:18
than Vegas has it for Sassata. Three and a half
9:23
is the spread for Baltimore, so I'm taking them
9:26
under the three and a half. Right on, under the
9:30
three and a half. Okay, right on. Yeah, this
9:34
is the toughie here. Obviously, Falcons had a
9:37
great game last week, but the Saints are not
9:39
the Ravens. True. You're playing at home in Atlanta,
9:44
which is a plus for you. But, I mean, again,
9:48
it does kind of all come down to whether or not
9:50
Lamar Jackson can play. If he can't, I'm going
9:52
to assume – I am going to assume, if I can learn
9:56
how to speak, that he will not be playing and
9:59
that Tyler Huntley will be getting all first
10:01
-team reps all week. He's going to be set to
10:03
go. Not comparing Huntley to Jameis Winston here,
10:06
but Jameis looked better when he had that full
10:10
week with the ones, and I anticipate Tyler Huntley
10:14
will as well. But if Huntley's in the game...
10:20
I'm concerned they're not going to open up the
10:22
playbook for them. I'm concerned they're going
10:24
to just try to pound the rock, pound the rock,
10:26
pound the rock with Derrick Henry. I'd like to
10:27
see some screen game maybe, but pound the rock,
10:29
pound the rock against the number one rush defense
10:32
in the NFL right now. I think that is not the
10:35
answer this week. I think the Atlanta Falcons,
10:39
two -headed monster in their own backfield right
10:42
now, is going to be too much to handle for that
10:44
Ravens defense, and the Falcons are going to
10:46
win a close one at home. Falcons get fired up.
10:49
Wow, that's crazy. Since 2002, the Falcons, I
10:53
hopefully have seen in your notes, have not beaten
10:56
the Ravens at home. No time like the present.
10:58
It is. Since Michael Vick. Thought process. Right
11:02
on. All right, here we go. The purple. Give it
11:06
to us. Let me see. I don't have a lot of notes.
11:09
A lot of it, though, is just basically injury
11:11
concerns. You're just trying to figure out where
11:13
you're going to sit for the Super Bowl parade,
11:15
right? Well, of course. Yeah, Lamar questionable.
11:20
We're going to assume Lamar's not going to play.
11:23
Take the extra week. I mean, even if it means
11:26
you run the risk of taking an L for the team,
11:29
you've got to think about the long -term goal.
11:34
The O -line continues to be banged up. Losing
11:37
Voorhees, another starting offensive lineman.
11:40
Marlon Humphreys, secondary depth, or at least
11:44
has been playing nickel primarily. It's really
11:47
important. Generally speaking, Durham's Smythe
11:52
primary blocker or blocking tight end for that
11:56
run game, that run attack. So all of these injuries,
11:59
they compound, they add up. It's an opportunity,
12:02
though, for Zay Flowers to show that he can.
12:06
make a quarterback better and that's one of those
12:09
things that you're looking for in your wide receivers
12:10
a lot of times is like are they going to be able
12:13
to put up numbers regardless of who's throwing
12:15
them the football like deandre hopkins was really
12:17
good at it agreed um i'm sure there's other ways
12:21
for sure yeah but you so it's an opportunity
12:25
for zay flowers to prove i can run routes i can
12:28
get open any quarterback can throw it to me and
12:29
i can still be a dynamic playmaker for this team
12:32
um we're also looking at it because it's because
12:37
it's Snoop Huntley. Snoop Huntley, love it. Snoop,
12:40
that's his nickname. Snoop, Snoopaloop. Where
12:46
we do still want to continue to run the ball.
12:48
That's the identity, run the ball and try and
12:51
then open up big plays down the field to like
12:54
Zay, Rashad Bateman, Mark Andrews, whatever that
12:58
is, or whoever that may end up being. But I do
13:02
still have concerns about that. That Falcons
13:06
rushing attack, the two -headed monster of the
13:09
Robinsons. The big Rob. Yeah, and keeping up
13:12
with the Robinsons is going to be very difficult.
13:16
We've been seeing over the past couple of weeks
13:19
that Ravens have been missing tackles. You mentioned
13:23
that. Giving up a whole bunch of yards, a lot
13:29
of penalties. I'm worried and nervous that the
13:34
Ravens aren't going to be able to stop this rushing
13:36
attack. I'm going to be 100 % honest with you.
13:38
Yes, I'm picking Falcons. Oh, I couldn't take
13:42
this. That's so weird. That's what we were waiting
13:44
for. Dirty birds, you've converted him. Just
13:47
for one game. Just for one game. It didn't go
13:50
well for me when I picked against the Vikings.
13:51
I would rather pick against the Ravens and have
13:54
them beat the Falcons than... Fair. Of course,
13:57
naturally. But you take the pod serious. But
13:59
you're being honest with the cards you're dealt.
14:02
You're starting quarterbacks out. If Lamar's
14:05
in the game, does that change it for you? 100%.
14:06
So then it's a W if he's in. Yes. All right.
14:11
You don't got to send him hate mail. I have to
14:14
officially go Falcons. Thinking he's not playing.
14:18
That's right. Right on. Let's see. Third game.
14:23
Already. Third game. One, two, three. Pretty
14:25
good. One of our other undefeateds looking to
14:30
stay undefeated, but they're traveling to a very
14:34
tough location. They're playing the Seattle Seahawks,
14:37
who are also three and one. The 12. That's right.
14:41
Jake, you haven't gone first yet. All right.
14:43
This one's for you. Sweet. This could be a great
14:46
game. Yes, I agree. I think we picked it. Right.
14:50
Well, the next game might not be a great game
14:52
that we're going to cover. It might be great
14:53
for its own reasons. Yeah. Anyway, no. Yes, this
14:58
game is going to be amazing. The NFC West in
15:00
and of itself in terms of its competitiveness
15:03
between three great teams. I just love this.
15:09
You don't like the Cardinals? No, I don't like
15:11
the Cardinals. Not right now. Fair. Brock Purdy
15:18
isn't being talked about. for MVP consideration.
15:23
He's thrown 11 touchdowns, one pick. He's been
15:26
playing super clean, super smart football. He
15:29
gets the ball around. There's not one receiver
15:34
that's like taking all of the targets or all
15:37
of the receptions. So he's just like, whoever's
15:40
open, that's where the ball's going. there's
15:45
just so much talent there on that offense with
15:47
Kittle. Kittle had an amazing game against the
15:49
Broncos this past week. Boy can still run. Yeah.
15:53
Debo still aggressive. You've got Christian McCaffrey
15:56
and Mike Evans, like between them, you've got
15:59
16, 17, 14, and 16. So it's just like, he's just
16:02
going to like give the ball to somebody. He doesn't
16:04
care who it is. He's not going to not try and
16:07
force feed anyone. I do worry about, and we didn't
16:11
bring this up. Kyle Juszczyk, their fullback,
16:14
one of the few teams that actually rosters an
16:17
official fullback, is out. Suspended. Knee. Knee.
16:23
Suspended for swearing at refs. No. No. For simulating.
16:27
Oh. That was fine. That was fine. The juice.
16:32
The juice. A little gin and juice there. So I'm
16:36
interested to see how the absence of Juszczyk
16:40
is going to impact the. excuse me, the run game
16:43
and kind of like their, their past game, or at
16:46
least their running backs out of the backfield.
16:49
Cause use check is predominantly used in those
16:52
instances is one of those, like, Oh, he's going
16:54
to just go out and we're going to dump it off
16:56
to him and he's going to get some yards. But
16:59
yes, they're at home in Seattle or the Seahawks
17:03
were at home there. And the 12. Yeah. The 12.
17:07
They do reside there. Yes. That defense is. Still
17:10
really solid. They have the most interceptions
17:14
this season. I think they'll probably scheme
17:18
well enough against Purdy that they end up sneaking
17:21
one in. I don't know that the Seattle offense
17:28
is there 100%. Mostly it's in that running game.
17:34
That's really questionable at best. If Wilson
17:36
can get going again like he did at the end of
17:38
the game last week. I think that they stand a
17:42
really good chance. So I'm picking Seattle because
17:45
they're at home. I guess in a really tough matchup,
17:48
it's probably come down to, I think it's going
17:52
to be less than three. Less than three. Vegas
17:56
says we're at three and a half, four. The team
18:00
that you picked, the Seattle Sea Chickens, as
18:02
Coach once referred to every time. The Sea Chickens,
18:04
yes. I haven't done that in a long time. Won't
18:07
you give us the Sea Chickens versus the old?
18:09
So wait, you took the Sea Chickens? Yeah, I'm
18:11
taking the Sea Chickens. Right on. Gosh, I think
18:15
that's actually a really good pick because it
18:20
is going to come down to the defense. It's going
18:23
to come down to Seattle's defense for me. whether
18:28
or not they can get after Purdy enough to make
18:30
him make those mistakes. I agree with you. I
18:33
think they could sneak INT out of there. But
18:36
what does make Purdy so great is he is able to
18:38
spread it around so well. But no use check. That
18:42
is huge. But everyone else seems to be healthy.
18:44
And in general, the Niners seem fairly healthy
18:47
across the board other than the ones that started
18:49
the season on IR. They seem to be healthy other
18:53
than Nick Bosa. He's also questionable, right?
18:55
I think he's actually out now maybe, but this
18:59
is a toughie right here. This is a burner. This
19:02
is a toughie right here. I do think this is going
19:06
to be close, just division battle. Man, as much
19:11
as I want to go see chickens here, actually,
19:14
because I don't feel like I don't want the Niners
19:19
to stay undefeated. I don't. But with the way
19:22
Kittle played last week, you're going to really
19:24
need Kittle this week for sure. You're going
19:27
to need some of that CMC magic this week to win.
19:30
I mean, you're going to need a little magic in
19:32
that environment. Oh, my God. I think it's just
19:38
crappy because Seattle's pass defense is just
19:40
outstanding. That's the tough part. doesn't have
19:45
that one guy like you're saying. I mean, I think
19:47
that's the key point for me. I got to go Niners,
19:50
but by like three. I think it's going to be freaking
19:52
close. Yeah, I mean, this is the classic NFC
19:56
West. You know, between them and the Rams, we
20:00
all kind of predicted they'd be battling it out.
20:03
For sure. San Francisco, I guess, kind of surprised
20:06
me. I kind of forgot. how good that defense was
20:10
before all those injuries kind of decimated last
20:12
year, especially when Warner went down. They
20:15
definitely, and they still were a playoff team.
20:19
So now you see the 49ers, but this is the classic
20:21
game. I was just kind of looking through the
20:23
last few years. The teams are pretty much the
20:25
same. Not a lot of different personals, maybe
20:28
on the receiver side of the 49ers, but that doesn't
20:31
really come into my thing. They both split on
20:34
opposite fields last year. I have a feeling that's
20:37
how it's going to go out this year, too. So I'm
20:39
going to take the 49ers. But I think it's going
20:43
to be a game just like the 49ers played against
20:45
the Broncos last week. Very low scoring. You
20:48
know, we're looking 17 -13 style type of game.
20:52
I just think San Francisco's defense is humming
20:54
enough right now to give Seattle enough with
20:57
that running game. A little questionable. Put
21:00
a lot of pressure on to Sam to deliver. And it's
21:05
going to be a good, fun game. But I'm going 49ers
21:08
to edge this one out. 49ers to edge this one
21:10
out. Right on, right on. Let's head to our final
21:13
game here. The final. The old Broncos traveling
21:17
to the L .A. Chargers. Broncos coming in 2 -2.
21:21
Chargers coming in as one of those winless teams
21:23
we've been talking about these last couple episodes.
21:27
I guess I'll start on this one. You know, since
21:30
I'm also a Chargers fan. We know who you're picking.
21:32
Man, what a great trap game for the Broncos,
21:34
too, huh? It is. Yeah. Tell us why. But I'm not
21:38
picking the Chargers to win this game, unfortunately.
21:40
I'm very, very concerned about their injuries
21:43
on the offensive line to protect a guy who hasn't
21:48
looked great this year. So now we're just not
21:49
going to protect him. So that's not great. What
21:53
I will say is at least the whole line when they
21:56
were in there. You know, there was at least some
21:58
sort of run game that was starting to spark up,
22:00
a little bit at least for the Chargers, but the
22:04
defense hasn't got necessarily any better as
22:07
the season has gone on. They only have maybe
22:09
an injury or two back there, and they're still
22:11
not looking great. You know, on the other side,
22:16
the Broncos have also not necessarily looked
22:18
great, but they do have those two wins they have
22:20
are pretty quality wins, to be honest. Yeah,
22:24
they had the opening season dud, complete dud
22:27
against the Chiefs. Then they got it kind of
22:29
together, and I can't remember who they lost
22:30
to last week. 49ers. Oh, duh. Right, right. So
22:35
I got to go Broncos here. I think just unfortunately
22:41
with the Chargers injuries and the way they've
22:42
been playing, I think Chargers would be a really
22:45
tough pick here. Now, when the Chiefs play the
22:47
Chargers next week, talk to me next week. All
22:49
right. Because clearly that must be the win.
22:53
I don't know. Right now the Chargers are tracking
22:55
to continue losing. It sucks. It sucks. But it's
22:59
really interesting that Vegas has this game only
23:01
at two and a half. Yeah. See, it's a trap game.
23:03
So and Patrick's is tan out. Yeah. Yeah. Bo Nix
23:13
and that offense has not been the same. Hasn't
23:17
really been moving the balls. If I remember from
23:20
an earlier episode, the Vikings. have scored
23:23
more points than the Broncos. And Mike McDaniel's
23:28
job, I feel like, is on the line this week. I
23:32
guarantee he's probably studying right now on
23:36
this Tuesday night. Division game. Yeah. Something
23:43
weird's going to happen. Chargers get their first
23:45
win. I really wanted to do that. I was like,
23:48
on some goofiness, last second field goal. I
23:53
hope so. Along the jakes of I picked the other,
23:56
but I hope the other. But, yeah, I just got a
24:01
weird vibe about this one. Broncos just have
24:04
been playing wonderful, a ton of injuries, and
24:07
it should be fun. It's that division game. That's
24:11
when the weird stuff happened because they know
24:13
each other so well, and the Broncos just aren't
24:17
the same team quite as they were last year right
24:21
now. So they're not going to. I mean, their defense
24:25
still is humming a little bit, but that Patrick
24:27
Sedan injury on the backside is huge because
24:29
he eliminates half the field. And Quentin Johnson
24:33
needs to step up. And I just have a feeling a
24:35
weird game that this is the game that he finally
24:38
showed up. And then everybody picks him up in
24:40
fantasy football the following week. And then
24:43
he doesn't do anything after. So there you go.
24:46
That's my take for the day. Just randomness.
24:49
And I think the Chargers are going to squeak
24:51
one out at home. Both starting corners down is
24:55
tough. Yes, that is tough. It's a tale of two
24:59
struggling offenses. They're both just not good
25:02
right now, right? But there's some positives
25:08
in those struggles. When you look at the Chargers,
25:11
like you alluded to, they were starting to figure
25:13
out a run game. So, Maureen Hampton, Keaton Mitchell,
25:16
they're averaging over four yards a carry. That's
25:19
a big deal. Yeah, I'll take that. Yeah, Justin
25:23
Herbert's just not, he's not grasping this Mike
25:29
McDaniel offense at all. They have to look at
25:34
simplifying that playbook and really going back
25:37
to, like, we have to run the ball. Establish
25:41
a run game. It's going to be painful to watch
25:43
with a banged up old line. You hear that, Vikings
25:46
fan? Painful to watch. Sorry. But you take the
25:51
W. And, yeah, get some pressure off of Justin
25:56
Herbert so that way he can start making some
25:59
easier throws. But Davis Webb and Bo Nix, they're
26:05
still figuring it out. It's taking time. It kind
26:09
of sucks that it's taking this long. We're going
26:13
into week five. How have the two not been able
26:16
to, like, figure out how to operate together?
26:18
Correct. And you hear rumblings that Sean Payton
26:22
should or may be taking over play calling in
26:24
the near future if things don't continue to get
26:27
better offensively. I'm not worried necessarily
26:30
about the Broncos' defense in that secondary
26:34
based on what we've been seeing from Herbert.
26:39
Turning the ball over, making poor decisions.
26:43
But the Broncos have a more talented roster overall.
26:48
especially on the offensive side. And that's
26:52
where, like, Bo Nix is going to be able to still
26:54
find a couple of players, make a couple of big
26:57
plays down the field. Broncos are going to get
27:00
a W. Broncos getting the dib. Getting the dib.
27:04
Yep. Right on. Right on. Well, that's it, fellas.
27:08
I do not have, you know, because let's just say
27:12
I'm extremely busy all the freaking time. So,
27:14
of course, I don't have the. The old picks updated
27:16
for us. I think I went three and one. Ditto.
27:19
I can't remember. You might have went four and
27:23
all. No. He would have remembered that. Would
27:26
I, though? I don't know if I would. But you went
27:30
Vikes, Ravens, right? Who did the Ravens play?
27:34
The Titans. Oh, yeah. And then he took Falcons
27:38
over Saints. Yeah. Yeah. Congratulations. I don't
27:43
know. I don't believe you guys. I'm going to
27:44
have to go back and look now because I don't
27:47
think that's true. I mean, if you don't want
27:49
the four, then that's fine. Listen, no, I'll
27:51
take it. I'll take it. Don't worry. Don't worry.
27:52
I'll take it. Yeah, well, that's the wrap. Oh,
27:57
I did put it in there. I took the Titans. What
28:01
an idiot. Oh, you ruined it for yourself. I ruined
28:04
it. I went three and one because I was like,
28:07
the Titans are going to be able to beat the flock.
28:10
Ah, thanks, Kev. I didn't even know I put those
28:12
in there. That's how behind I am. And then Kev's
28:15
rendition there. Thanks, buddy. That's not on,
28:21
right? That's good. Yeah, we'll leave it that
28:23
way. Anyway, thanks for being here, fellas. Thanks
28:27
for having me. That puts a wrap on our week five.
28:30
Podium. Kind of. Yeah, week five. That's right.
28:33
Podium preview. The week five podium preview.
28:35
That's right. You already know. Hey, drop the.
28:39
Drop the like if you like the podium thing with
28:41
the yellow jersey. I like that. But I have a
28:44
bicycle podcast, so that makes sense. Jake, thanks
28:47

28:49
