  Speaker 1: Everybody long in the Game Debut President of Mercedes Benz
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Patrick Claybun Glad to be back here with Greg Rosenthal
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and Cynthia Freeland, where we had a great week last week.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We almost would have had the same record, but Greg
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: saw a pick that Cynthia and I had him was like, no, no, no, no, no,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I've got to make a change. So he beat us
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: by one.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I made the right change.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I took the forty nine ers and if you put
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: those standings up, you guys do not want to have
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: me three p If I do what has never been
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: done before three straight years, like the Chiefs, you will
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: never hear the end of it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I will never.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Step on We haven't heard the end of the two feet.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, it'll be even worse.
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: I don't have anything to say. I just need to
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: get back to picking better games.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Really.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, We've got an opportunity because there are some differences
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: are here in ours today, which we will reveal to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you as we continue this edition of Game Debuts. We
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: get to Josh Allen coming off across the street game
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: for the Ages last week in Los Angeles, six total
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and three rushing first player in NFL history to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: do that in a regular season game. I'm sure Josh
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: would have preferred to get a W. But pretty incredible stuff.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So things don't get any easier for Josh and the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Bills this week. They've got Cynthia's red hot Lions and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a potential Super Bowl preview that we.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: All need to know who wins the football game.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And Detroit Lions.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Do I feel like a jerk after that opening Segmently,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: my wife's gonna be like, you just come off so unlikable.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: But what if you pick the Lions the most likable
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: team in the league because of their running game. Their
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: explosive run rate since about Week six is right there
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: near the top of the league. It's not because of
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: David Montgomery for the most part, it's because of Jamiir Gibbs.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: And when I look at the Bills defense, their biggest
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: problem is giving up explosive runs. They're actually bottom five
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: in the league in terms of their explosive run rate.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: They're pretty good overall, but they've tended to give up
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of long runs.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It's a lightweight group. You saw last.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Week the Rams leaned on them a little bit in
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the running game, and so to me, that's where the
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: biggest advantage comes is Detroit on the ground. Even if
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: they're not getting consistent five six yards, I think Gibbs
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: maybe Montgomery gets a forty fifty yarder. And I actually
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: not only have the Lions winning, I have the Lions covering.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So hopefully you like me better.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, try to get back on Cynthia's good grace.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I don't have as much as a comeback as Greg
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: does because he did come off as unlike them.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I'm just we love Greg Rosenthal.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I also have a Detroit Lions win three points for
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: me where it's twenty nine to twenty six, and we
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: all love the idea of a potential score fest.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: But it's actually the reason picking the Lions is their.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Defense, because if you zoom into a specific spot on
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the field, we discuss all the guys that they are missing.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But Brian Branch and Karby Joseph have played every game
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: this season and around nine yards away from the line
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage all the way back to the end zone.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: They are top three in terms of completion percentage allowed.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And the reason for that is Brian Branch and Kirby
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Joseph are typically he lined up around nine yards awayt
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of Malanda Scrimmage.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: They're just so good. Throw Carlton Davis in the mix.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: These guys make plays and all they need to do
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: is just make a couple to get a Lions win.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Here, Cynthia, I love you guys. I appreciate you guys.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Du I hope you're both right. And my model, the
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: model picks the Bills. It's a prime number twenty eight
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: to twenty seven.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: So I guess we all agree high scoring.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: But when I'm looking at this game, let's make a
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: list of the players that are not going to be
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: playing for the Lions. It is very long, so you're
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: gonna be seeing some mixtape that includes a lot of
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: people like Malcolm Rodriguez, Aiden Hutchinson, Alexanzeloni, Derek Barnes. You know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: there's other people who may or may not be coming back.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Maybe only McNeil plays. Maybe we get Zach Pascalbek, maybe not.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: You never know.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: The problem is, and when you have that level of
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: the defense not really playing. And Josh Allen it's not
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: like he's making these deep passes and deep touchdown passes
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: this season. That's the area of the field that he
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: likes to talk target. So your big hole is right
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: where the Josh Allen sized plug is. It's going to
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: be problematic, but I fully I admit Number one, I
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: now wear boots when it's fifty degrees.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: This is terrible, and I'm picking the Bills. I'm going
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: to have.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: To revoke my Michigan card at some point here.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: Hopefully I can earn it back.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: The computer model has taken over. It's become Stynthian and
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: is overpowered in your heart.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Says no, my heart is with my heart. I love
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: both teams, in fact, but my heart is with the Lions.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: It's just the model is with the Bills.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And I think most people know that you want the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Lions to win. There's certainly a team that's hot on
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: their trail in the NFC, the Eagles, that does not
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: want them to.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Philly has won nine straits.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It's coming off of their bi although you probably wouldn't
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: know if you listen to Philly sports talk radio. They're
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: playing hosts to Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers. George
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Pickens is doubtful who wins the Battle of Pennsylvania.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: The Eagles do, and I actually think they get over
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that number.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I saw it at first. It's five and a half. Wow,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: that's big. That's disrespectful to the Steelers. They're trying to
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: trick us. I think the Eagles defense comes out, plays well,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: and the squeaky wheel gets the grease on offense. That's
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Aj Brown. He said the passing game wasn't working. He
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: was absolutely right. Their passing game has been in a
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: steep decline over the last month of the season. I
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: have them winning twenty four to seventeen. We're seeing some
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: better days out of AJ Brown. I believe him and
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts still can get it going down the field.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts said the deep ball will never not be
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a part of this offense. Well, it hasn't been for
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the last month. He hasn't been a man of his
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: word there. So I think they're going to really stress
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: getting the ball to Brown this week. But the reason
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: really that I think they're going to win is this
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Eagles defense is so good. They're going to keep the
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Steelers in the teams.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I think Greg though the deep ball is still a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: part of their offense. Jalen Hurts can still throw it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: They just haven't necessarily been doing it. But they still
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: make explosive plays because one of the easiest things in
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the NFL to do to get an explosive play is
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to give the ball to the potential I would say
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: front runner at least if I'm voting, Saguon Barkley is
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the MVP because he makes explosive plays happen. And then
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: over on the other side, George Pickens is responsible for
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: sixty percent of the Steelers plays that are thirty six
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: yards or longer. If he's not playing, it just becomes
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: so much difficult to drive the ball down the field
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: against seventeen times Super Bowl. A part of winning defensive
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: coordinator Vic Fangio, who's just like the butterfly effect of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Right, he won seventeen Super Bowl.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: He's played a hand in them.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Trust me, He's just gonna have to follow the show
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: long term and we'll go through all of them. But Cynthia,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I've got the Eagles in this one. I'm just messing
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: around with Vic fan Joe. But the Eagles defense is playing.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: All of Eagles defense is playing well.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: And that's actually my point and what drives my win
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: in this one. I have the Eagles maybe bigger than
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: you guys know, not as big as Greg six points
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: twenty six to twenty meme alert away when I'm looking
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: at the opportunity in this one, it is stopping the
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: deep pass. And that's where the Eagles have been very good.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: We know that Russell Wilson, we saw that crazy old
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: video a couple weeks ago with the moonball.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Remember that one.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, an astronaut like, there's all this as it
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: was on the head how space, That's not how footballs
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: would in space. Doesn't matter because in this one, Cooper
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: de Jean's got something to say about that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Quinjon Mitchell he does too. If you are a coder,
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: you sing songs when you code. Cooper to Gen.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Cooper to Gen, he is kind of mean every time.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: That's what I hear in my ear every time I
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: code for this defense.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: But they are great at defending the deep pass.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: And especially with George Pickens being banged up, this decreases
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: the thing that is a huge wind. And by the way,
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: in modern football, do you know that the only team
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: the Steelers haven't won against on the road.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: Is the Eagles. Keystone State belongs to the Eagles.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Well, a fun fact they're and something for Eagles fans
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to celebrate if they can't celebrate all of these wins.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: The Eagles currently sitting in first place in the NFC East.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Now let's go less to where we found another bird
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: sitting atop their division. Holy catf there's still a top
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: ten call for me. The NFC West leading the Seahawks
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: have one four straight. They're playing host of the Packers
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: on Sunday night. How does this incredible matchup look to you, Cynthia?
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Why can somebody explain to me how the Packers are
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: favored by two and.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: A half points in a row. This is an using one.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Maybe I'm taking the cheese in the wrong way, as in,
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: I'm throwing the cheese out because I'm picking the Seahawks
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: in this one twenty four to twenty two.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: I have the home team winning.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Why because we saw something from Zach Charboney that we
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: haven't really been seeing. Kenneth Walker is a great running back.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: He's actually very good at nice elusive runs. But Sharboney
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: is great at breaking tackles. The yak has been wonderful
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: from him. And yes we know that the Packers they
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: can get into their opponent's backfield, doesn't matter as much
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: when you have the explosive power of Charbonay.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: So those wrinkles and folds were really helped. What are
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: you laughing at the.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Explosive power of charboney because it's like it's pressurized and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you could pop.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: The cork.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Exactly that sharbon A cork is coming for you, Green Bay.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I love this pick. I love when the model gets
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: a little spicy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: The model's angry this week.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I mean it's got two upsets in the first three picks,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: and I love being on the same side of the
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: model in this one. When it's got my Seahawks winning,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I have him in the upset as well. It's in
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: part because they're so diverse on often. Yes, you can
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: throw it to DK down the field, but you have
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jigba over the middle, who is probably
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: as important as DK metcalf is in this offense. Right now,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: when Gino Smith needs a play on third down, he
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: looks to JSN. It's a reminder with all the rookie
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: wide receivers like Roma Dunesa, you're Marvin Harrison, that people
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: maybe aren't.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: That thrilled with.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Think about what people were saying about Jasn at this
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: time of year ago, he was struggling. Oh what's happening?
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I thought this guy was gonna be safe. He has
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: turned into a dynamic playmaker. They move him all over
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: the field. He really sets up what their passing game does.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Their offensive line has been playing better. You saw that
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: with some of those Charbonnay runs. But they've also been
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: protecting Gino Smith better and Green Bay does not get
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on the passer. So I think
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: there's going to be time to find jsn As the
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: season has gone along, he's gotten more important Seahawks get
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: to win.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I am going to go opposite of you guys in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: take the Green Bay Packers in this one.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's a.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Stray bond, and a lot of it has to do
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: with looking at the way that the Seahawks were able
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to run the ball zach Scharbonney going up against a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: defense I affectionately called the search bar in Arizona where
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: they have to scheme up exotic pressures.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: They use those to get to Gino Smith.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: But they just caught them in some bad spots last
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: week where the Packers rushed defense a little bit better
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: top seven in terms of yards per carry defense since
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Week seven, and then on offense, it's Josh Jacobs being
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: very consistent and not in like a predictable fashion. He's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: just had seven touchdowns over the past three games, which
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: is the most in a three game stretch since Jonathan
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Taylor back in twenty twenty one. So it's the consistency
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and not the high, low variants running attack of the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: I think the Lions won that game. Whetherwise, I'd hate
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: that footage.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Cynthia's wiping away the footage, like, get Josh Jacobs going
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in that was in a win. Slowly becoming like a
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Eagles Lions fan.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: Not an Eagles fan. I'm a Lions fan.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins and Texans in h Down, both teams fighting
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. He saw the Texans on that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: graphic there. What do you see taking place, Cynthia.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Well, see CJ.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Stroud looking really good in this one and winning the
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: game twenty six to twenty two. I know that the
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Dolphins need it, but I'm looking at the opportunity here
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: to watch CJ. Stroud not be under as much pressure.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: The Dolphins are not bringing the heat, and what we've
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: seen from CJ. Stroud in this offensive line is a
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: bunch of jumping off sides not great, a bunch of
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: issues in terms of keeping him protected not great. And
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: then people are like, is CJ. Stroud broken? My answer
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: is no. I think this will be the game where
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: we see the strategy come together.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: They've had a week off.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Now, they can watch even more of the film than
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: they would in just a regular week.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: They can regroup.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Nico Collins's back, let's Namas stay here and get a
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: nice win at home.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're coming off the buy and it's like a
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Laramie Tunsel revenge game.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Remember that trade from Miami.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: But is he mad about that?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: No, he's happy he got to move to Houston. He
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: got paid very well.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: But I think it's a couple other guys who are
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: getting paid well. Will Anderson because he's a top draftick
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: and Danil Hunter on the edge getting after to a
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: tongue of I looa. He might not have his left
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: tackle Toron Armstead for this game, and that's such a
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: massive factor when Armstead has not been on the field.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: The on off splits are alarming for this Dolphins offense
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: over the last couple of years, and this is the
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: worst week for it. Anderson had an injury, He's gotten
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: to get healthier, he's practicing fully. Hunter's been as consistent
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: as any team in the league. So Cynthia mentioned the
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: pass protection that CJ. Straud could get on the other side,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think Tua is gonna get it. I think
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: this game is won in the trenches by the Texans.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: They get a win and maybe kind of win the
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: division this week.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: Like Anderson's fingers no no no no.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: No no no no no, rest in peace, the kim
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Bi m tumble, the fingerwag, standing, and a lot for
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a long time. As we look over this, I see
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it's a close game. But I also have used texansam
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: winning because, as Greg mentioned the pass rush from Hunter
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: as well as Will Anderson, you want the run game
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to kind of help end that capacity.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Thirty nine and forty four yards.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: That's the total run total of the last couple of
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: weeks for the Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, Joe Mixon has seven
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: games with one hundred yards of a touchdown this season.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I think it would like sleep on the fact that
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: this is one of the best free agent acquisitions. Yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley have been incredible. But Joe
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Mixon has also been very good for the Houston Texans.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: He's only played in ten games, seven of them have
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: been one hundred yards with the touchdowns. We all agree
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the Houston Texans maybe knocking the Miami Dolphins off of
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the AFC playoff picture a late push from Tua that's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: not gonna work out. So no surprise that Tua and CJ.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Stroud have their teams at least in playoff runs. What
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: is surprise though, by Bo Nicks and how he and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos have been playing the eight and five
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Broncos and the thing of the wild card race. They're
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: playing host to the Colts, who are also in the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: wild card hunt. I think Denver is going to scratch
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: out a twenty four to twenty three win here, scratching
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: out that that one point there, just out of respect
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to what Anthony Richardson and the Colts have been able
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to do late this season. But it's the defense that's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the issue for me here, where Gus Bradley's defense plays
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the most zone in the entire league. It's been that
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: way for a few years now. I foolishly picked the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Jets a few weeks ago because I believe that there
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: was going to be a tendency switch and Gus Bradley
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and cover are going to play more man.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: It did not happen, and bo Knicks is a top five.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Quarterback in the NFL in terms of completion percentage against
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: zone since Week seven.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: We know the Colts are going to be in there.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: They're going to play the zone, and he's.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Gonna have an opportunity to get the ball to Courtland
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Sutton as well as the Fan Valley and all of
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: these Broncos receivers.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I have a Broncos win.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, looking at the score, it's very similar to you.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I have the Colts covering, but the Broncos winning in
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: this game because I think they win the battle of
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage again. This time it's on the
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: defensive side, getting after Anthony Richardson. It's been a consistent
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: pass rush. They've gotten better with their four man pass
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: rush as the course of the season has gone on.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Nick Benito getting some heat on the opposing quarterbacks and
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson's pass detection has been okay this year. But
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I think the Broncos have a better offensive line. The
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Colts put a lot of investment into their pass rush.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: But I think the Broncos have a better defensive line.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: So with a great coach like Sean Payton, he's putting
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: money into that offensive line.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: The defensive line is getting after it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I think it's enough to get the win and basically
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: punch their ticket to the playoffs. If these results are
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: right in terms of what we're picking, it's Broncos, it's Texans,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: and this thing's over with three weeks to go.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: No, I think that that is what happens, and I
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: have a much more convincing win than you guys. I
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: have twenty four to eighteen in favor of the Broncos.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: I didn't realize we would all be picking the Broncos.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: So I actually do want to point out and give
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: a little love to Riley Moss who's had a great season,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: but his injury scares me for their long term viability
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: in this game. I don't think it's going to be
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: as much of a factor. Obviously, the secondary will be
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: bigger in games where there's more of a threat of
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: too many different pass catchers.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Anthony Richardson, that's not quite the threat there, and you
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: just throw the deep ball up.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: But there's a little bit more volatility on his side.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: But Moss is an a really good example of how
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: this team has grown since last year. And they're really
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: navigating the Russell Wilson money situation well with their rookies contributing.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: They're making the playoffs kind of way before anyone thought
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: they would. And this is a thing where now they
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: paid their left tackle, so they're not going to have
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: to take a tackle in the draft. They're giving themselves
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: a lot of different options. So this is good for
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: this year and it's good for going forward.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I remember an analyst by the name of Cynthia Freeland
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: before the season who said over on the five and
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: a half win total for the Broncos was the pick
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: of the year.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: And you hit that. You know, before December, you.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Got another division championship for the Kansas City Chiefs. They've
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: got the Browns in Cleveland. Should they be an upsidal lerger.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: They should be every week because every week comes down
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: to the last second. But they're gonna win again. It's
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: twenty four to nineteen and they actually cover the number
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: this time. They are in a seven game losing streak
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs against the number while winning. That's almost impossible
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: to do. So I think it's time to finally start
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: zagging and believe that they can get it done. We're
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: watching how all of these crazy endings happened to favor
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs, and a lot of times it's because they're
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: earning it. It's Patrick Mahomes making plays on third down
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: like they did against the Panthers. It's their field goal kicker, yes,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: you know, kissing one off the upright. I actually think
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: this is going to be a normal game. It's a
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: much worse team this week against the Browns, and it's
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: something like twenty four to thirteen. The Browns get a
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: late score to make it look close, but it's actually
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: not close.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: The Chiefs win comfortably.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: For one, I disagree Greg.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I agree that the Chiefs win the game, but I
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: think they squeak by once again because we saw them
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: make a change at tackle. And there was improvement in
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: protecting Patrick Mahomes against the Los Angeles Chargers in the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: game where they win the division, but that improvement was
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Mahomes get sacked three times, getting pressured on thirty eight
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: percent of his dropbacks. Like it hasn't been that much better,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and they still can't protect them. So now Miles Garrett
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: comes in. Yes, they win, but it's because like a
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: fumbled snap gets kicked through the uprights or something, and
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Mitch Holtis is chiding us for not believing in them,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: for not having the win.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: But either way, Chiefs win somehow.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Again something I have the.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Chiefs covering their number as well. I have twenty six
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: to twenty. Look out for snow in this one. It
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: is in the forecast yet again, so I actually think
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: the pass rush and the ability to defend it become
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: more impactful. So in this case, let's look at what
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: the Chiefs have or maybe have not done. They actually
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: rank bottom eight or worse in both pressures and pressures
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: that are being disruptive and also sacks like this is
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: not a Chiefs pass rush that we're necessarily used to
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: that could favor Jamis Winston.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Now here's the thing. The snow though kind.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Of negate some of that because if there's snow and
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: he tries the pass, things could get messy.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Just watch the weather forecast Ohio, the state with the
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: most snow per square foot.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Wow, you get fun.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: So many facts pure logical facts here on game debut
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: neurologists right here.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: Hey, you know other shows. That's my main job.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Let's move on to a team that is play does
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: play where it's cold, but they play inside. The Minnesota Vikings.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: They've won six straight and Sam Darnold is bawling. The
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Vikings play host of the Bears on Monday Night. I
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: think the Vikings win. I'lbeit in a close one twenty
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: to eighteen. These two teams played back in week twelve,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and the Bears able to score seventeen points in the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: final a bit of the game to send it to overtime.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessarily that level of push this
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: time around, because it's hard to keep pace with Sam
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Donold making all these great throws on the run. If
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you go back to the last couple of weeks, what
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: has Sam done on the run? He's completed seventy five
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: percent of his passes at seventeen yards per attempt. It's yello,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Sam fully engaged.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: I think the Vikings winning well.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: I have a different score than you.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: I mean I have the same winner, but I have
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: a ten point win for the Vikings twenty seven.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: I do have them scoring seventeen points the Bears.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Hey, they we're talking about seventeen points, but a ten
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: point win for the Vikings. I just want to remind
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: people that Justin Jefferson is in that upper tier, that
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: upper echelon with the Jamar Chases of the world, with
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: the Saquon Barkleys of the world, with the Derrick Henrys
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: of the world. Sometimes I think, because maybe the Lions
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: are in the lead in the division, we kind of
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: forget like the Vikings.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: Are right on their tail.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Week eighteen could be for all of the marbles in
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: the North.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: And why.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: It's not just because of Justin Jefferson when he's the
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: subject of a target. It's also what he does when
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: he's not the subject of a target. Look at him
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: stiff arming people, shoving dudes out of the way. I
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: wouldn't want to press him. No, thank you, get away
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: from me, sir. So that is something that I think.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: I just don't feel like we talk enough about how
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: he is right up there. If you're gonna say MVP
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: for those other guys, you get at least consider that
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: this team who's they're.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: Right up there.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: They're eleven and two.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: That's a good most score.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Years.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Of course you'd be leading the division last year at
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: this time, you'd have the best record in the entire NFL.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: So put more respect on the Vikings.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Give him a big sixteen point win for me, and
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: put some more respect on Matt Eberflus.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: The only team where when you fire their coach they
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: actually get worse is the Chicago Bears.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Was this defense together? If he was watching last week,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: he's probably saying, Hey, how you like me? Now? The
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: one thing I gave you was a sound defense.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: It wasn't as good as we expected this year, and
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: you kind of spent all these resources and we were
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: just average. But you would have loved average in Santa
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Clara a week ago. They were average when they played
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: the Vikings about a month ago. When two teams in
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: the division played twice in about a month, I really
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: favor the better team the second time around, you, miss
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: eber Flews, the defense is.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Getting Are you trolling our producer?
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: No, our producer.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: He's a Bears fan and he is trolling.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Took Fus out of the mix and the defense.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: I guarantee you hide them nor.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I can't think of any Bears fan that's like, yeah,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Gred come back.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I say it come back. I'm just saying their defense.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Matt still to come justin.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Herbert and the Chargers came up just short last week
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. How will Jim Harball's squad respond Sunday
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: when Baker and the Bucks come to town.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: The playoffs are on the line.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Our picks for the Bolts and Buckaroos coming up next.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: It's time the season season percent about Caesars Sports Book.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: As we take a look at the first touchdown score
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: odds between the Bucks and the Chargers across the street
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: where it was Sean White leads the way at plus
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: four ninety. So let's dig into this matchup between two
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: teams in the thick of playoff hunts. The Tampa is
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: in first place as of right now in the South,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: while la is holding on to an AFC wild card spot.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Who feels good about their chances after the game?
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Chargers do love this performance in terms of their defense responding.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: When you add a defense that turns the ball over
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: a lot and you put Baker Mayfield into the mix,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I think it's bad news for the Buccaneers offense.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Quietly, over the last four games.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield kind of come down to Earth in terms
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: of being able to not make mistakes. Five touchdowns, four interceptions,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: and another four fumbles and the ball security just hasn't
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: been good. And you have that against very sound Chargers
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: defense who's making plays on the ball. Just imagine the
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Chargers uniform at home and they will have a home
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: field advantage. I see you Chargers fans lately making it loud.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Tar Heep still gets a pick Baker struggle.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I thinking not necessarily Baker Mayfield struggles because I have
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: a one point Chargers win twenty four to twenty three
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: in this game. I think they score those points and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of it depends on the injury status of
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: their best receiver, which is the rookie Lad McConkie, who
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: has eighty one targets on the season. He has twenty
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: six targets more than any other Charger and that's with
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: him missing the entire game last week. It significant portions
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: of the previous few games where so much of the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: passing game goes through him. Justin Herbert playing through some
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: things as well. I may change this pick later and
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: does it gives me some pause here because Baker Mayfield,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: while he does struggling, If anybody can get hot and
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: score some points, Cynthia, it's probably Baker.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm going with full Baker, so you can with
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: them covering this bread.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: I will go with taking the bucks in the upset
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: twenty four to twenty three. Here this is how I
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: catch Greg. This is how I catch Greg. Spicy Model Week,
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Spicy Model Week.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: But I'm looking at the opportunity to run against the chargers.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: What you say that sounds banana, Cynthia.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: But when you're looking at how Baker Mayfield does when
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: he hands it off to his running back out of
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: the shotgun, things are good between Bucky Irving, who hasn't
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: practiced so far this week, so we're go a questionable there,
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: but also Rare Shad White.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: The average is six point seven yards.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: This has been an area that over the past few
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: weeks runs two shotgun aligned running backs or quarterbacks. At
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: handis running backs. They are vulnerable to them. So arrow up,

  Speaker 4: Do they snap that streak and get a win? Cynthia.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: They do, but.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: I don't feel super great about it. Twenty four to
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: twenty two is my final score. Let's give some more
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: love to Bejon Robinson please over their four game skid.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: He has had four touchdowns and three games with at
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: least ninety two rushing yards. That's just rushing, not even
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: scrimmage yards. We aren't talking about how well he's doing
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: because the team is not winning. This is a great
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: opportunity to target the Raiders run.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: What do you I mean? Greg doesn't like mark a
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: disrespectful score.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: The Raiders are playing better Desmond read or revenge game potentially,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Sure go you have them covering.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: I have them, I have them covering and I think
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: you should play since here McCormick if you have fantasy,

  Speaker 1: Daniels and the Commanders coming off of their bye week
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: to face the Saints down in New Orleans.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: How do you feel, Gret I feel like the Commanders
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: are going to cover this big number Jake Hayner starting
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: at quarterback for the Saints. But it's more important what's
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: happening on defense for the Commanders. Yes, it's the Marshawn
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Lattimore revenge game. Now, I don't know if he really
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: needs to take revenge on a bunch of Saints teammates
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: that he enjoyed playing with. In Dennis Allen, who might
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: be the guy he wasn't happy to work for, is
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: no longer there. But Marshawn Lattimore is one of the
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: top five to ten cornerbacks in the entire NFL. So
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: you're adding him to a defense that's gotten its act
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: together and it's going up against an offense that frankly
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: isn't that talented at quarterback Jake Hayner. That's a lot
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: to ask, not great receivers for Hayter to work with.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Go Commanders.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Cowboys and the Panthers
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: in Charlotte for the first time all season. I am
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: taking the Carolina Panthers. I think they win here twenty
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: three to sixteen. And it's not just me. We are
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: all on the Carolina Panthers going up against Cooper Rush
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and this Dallas Cowboys offense that we saw kind of
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: come apart late against Coach Low's squad on Monday night.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Cooper Rush though in the end zone that excuse me,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the red zone interceptions.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: There were some spotty spots where they almost win the
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: game but then things go wrong.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers no stranger to that, but I think
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: their team playing better right now and they beat.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: The Dallas Cowboys. Let's go Panthers. Time for more or
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: less here on game debut.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Bill's Lions could potentially be a Super Bowl preview. So
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: let's get our foam hands out and talk some player
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: props for this game, starting with you, mister Rosenthal, more
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: or less than two hundred and ninety four yards for
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: one Josh Allen totally yards.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Ah, that was an easy one. I mean I might
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: take them more than ninety four through the air. But
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: when you give me his rushing total, absolutely, I think
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: this is going to be an offense dominated game. Ultimately,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: both offensive lines are gonna win the matchups against the
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: opposite defensive line. And we've seen with these play callers
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: and these quarterbacks, if you protect them.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: They are gonna score. They're gonna go up and down
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: We've seen in Detroit's like most important games this year,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: they've tended to be score fest.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Let's go Josh Allen more.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: All right, this one going to Houston. Deal, will Jared
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Golf throw for more or less than one touchdown?
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Yeh?
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: I like that one a lot more than one passing touchdown?
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: Because it counts when you throw the ball to Jamiir Gibbs,
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: doesn't it. Yes, So when you're looking at the opportunity
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: to target some of the things that the Bills defense
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: doesn't like to defend as well, well, that is where
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: that guy Jamiir Gibbs and also Sam Laporta like to operate.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Ah, the Porta has been very very solid and also
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: very very solid his entire career. A'man ros Saint Brown.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: The question post to me, will we have over sixty
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: six receiving yards.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he will.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I think that there's gonna be a significant number of
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: points scored in this game. And we saw what Puka
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Nakua did to this Bill secondary a week ago. Two
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: very different players with very different styles. But Aman Rob
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: will have a chance to be successful because there's gonna
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: be a lot of possessions, a lot of points in
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: this game. So let's get back to you, Greg as
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: we're on a more streak. Well, James Cook have more
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: or less than forty eight rushing yard.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Let's just keep the mores going. I think there's value
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: and more. If someone asks you more or less and
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: you say less, you're not having any fun.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: James Cook goes more.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: This was the hardest one for me though, because the
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Lions rush defense is quite good, but James Cook coming
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: off one of his worst games of the season. As
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I mentioned, I think it's a mismatch offensive line defensive line.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: And I listened to what Cynthia was saying when she
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: was saying the Bills are gonna go ahead and win
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: this game, and it's all about the linebacker level for
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: the Lions struggling, and so maybe it doesn't.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Need to be consistent. James Cook, but.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: A couple big runs, they miss tackles at the second level.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: It's James Cook. He's the best Cook in the league
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, significantly better than the historical James Cook. It was
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: a horrible person. Let's go to Cynthia.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I meant, you know, more than his brother. I don't
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: know why I was taking a shot at Dalvin Cook.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: That's just rude.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Awesome player, both solid players for their time that we've
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: been able to see them play footba Cynthia.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Let's go what better than Jared Cook too? I'm not reallyable.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Just Jared Cook somewhere dodging fire. Let's go to Jamiir
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Gibbs more than ninety one total yards from scrimmage more.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: We are now cursing this game to be like a
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: thirteen to fifteen thriller, But ultimately, when I'm looking at
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: the opportunity, like we all mentioned, it is about those
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: wins at the line of scrimmage for both offensive lines.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: That includes Jamiir Gibbs.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Jamiir Gibbs has been the guy that has helped keep
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: Jared Goff great when he's facing pressure. So even if
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: Taylor Decker isn't a full go, doesn't matter, They'll just
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: throw it to the Gibbs.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: You know what better than Jared Jamiir Gibbs rather in
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: a normal week is Jamir Gibbs with four extra days rest.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: This guy's the most rested running back in the league.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: David Montgomery helps him rest. The NFL schedule makers help
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: him rest.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: That means big plays.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Now we've had big plays. We've had some big names.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: And again a name that more people are paying attention
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: to this season is Khalil Shakir fifty four and a
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: half receiving yards.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: I'm not breaking this more street. We're just gonna keep
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: the moors going now.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: There's not gonna be this plays like this incredible touchdown,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: which was a great play. Calisal care is great after
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the catch. The Rams secondary clearly needs some help. I
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: think they're a little bit better on the back end
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: in Detroit, but more because again, a lot of throwing
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: in this.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Game, a lot of points.
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: I feel like we have now just absolutely cursed everything
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: again fifteen thirteen.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: I'm not gonna have it. I don't know, it doesn't
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: feel like too much more.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just more of this game. But we're not gonna
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: have more of this game. We are going to get
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: to the rest of the games, even though we appreciate
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: all the points that could be available between the Bills
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: and the Lions.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Let's get back to some.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Quick picks and we'll go to the Baltimore Ravens, who
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: had a chance to rest. They're coming off of the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: buye and after that buy it's Tommy DeVito and the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: g Men.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: How is it going to go?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: It's gonna go so well.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: If you like the Ravens forty four to six in
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: one of the beatdowns of the year, Tommy cutlets, like,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: you're not gonna want to eat these cutlets.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Derrick Henry, it's.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Gonna get some major yards and probably rest the second
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: half of this game. The Giants have one of the
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: worst offensive lines in the league. The pass rush is
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: better for the Ravens and this defense. They're not playing
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: for anything. It's basically a home game for the Ravens.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: The Giants fans are all depressed. They didn't get Bill Belichick.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: We could show Justice Hill. I might like whatever the
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: over for Justice Hill is in this game, He's gonna
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: get it too, because they won't even need Derek Henry
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: by the end, Lamar Jackson, You guys hurt him when
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: they lost that game. How angry he was. He was
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: gonna come back. They finally got their bye weekend. Now
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: they play the worst team in the NFL.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I just want to know when do they get that
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: second field goal? Is it like a sad field goal
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter?
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: It's funny you mentioned that it's actually six to six
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: and everyone's singing, Oh, this might be interesting, and then
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: they go on a thirty eight point streak.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Bengals and the Titans.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati still has a three percent chance to make the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: playoffs according to Next Gen Stats.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Do they keep Hope alive and maybe see that number
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: go up?
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: You know, hope is not a great investment thesis. But
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: the Cincinnati Bengals still win this game. Twenty five to
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: twenty one is my score. Chase Brown, don't forget to
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: start him. I know that sometimes you look at the
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Tennessee defense and you're like, how should I play this?
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: Seems like they're more susceptible to the past. There's two
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: good pass catchers. You also want to play Chase Brown,
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: and you also want to play Tony Pollard play everyone
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: in this matchup. I think both defenses have some vulnerabilities.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: That man wants to get paid. Didn't you see he
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: just did the little paid thing.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, here you go, Chase Brown, don't forget Yeah, get some.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Money on the way. Let's go to the Patriots and
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Cardinals out West. Arizona has dropped three in a row,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: but I think they write the ship here winning by
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: three twenty to seventeen, a late scare by Drake May.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: But it's another rookie that I'd like to discuss, and
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: that's Marvin Harrison Junior, who has over the past three games,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: got a load of targets. They're all very, very deep targets.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Just find a way to incorporate Marvin Harrison in the
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: different parts of this offense because he's such a talented
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: football player, and I believe that he and Kyler Murray
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: and this offense could get a little bit better and
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: maybe keep some of their playoff hopes alive. In the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: NFC Last one, Jets and Jags and Duvall well Gang
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Green get a win here, Greg.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: I believe they will. Twenty six to sixteen is my score.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: If you saw it, you know Aaron Rodgers in Miami
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: last week. That's where old people like to go and
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: really live out their best life. He played well against
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: the Dolphins, and now he's gonna be in Jacksonville. We
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: finally saw the DeVante Adams and Garrett Wilson combo that
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: we had been hoping to see for months. They both
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: looked outstanding. Garrett Wilson, to me, is the one. He's
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: the guy who can beat your best cornerback like Jalen Ramsey.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers getting rid of the ball pretty quickly.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I actually think they're gonna play their best football, at
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: least offensively down the stretch, and it's certainly in this
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: matchup the healing powers of the Florida Sun.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, you just said old people liked in Florida.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: So ye at all that.
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: There's nothing I can say, nothing I.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Can say, I can't call it. We're the same age.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Shout out to all of your accomplishments, Aaron Rodgers. This season,
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: maybe not so much.
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: We weren't a Patrick.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: It's time to write this down. I'm gonna say here
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: as long as I can. We're talking some of our
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: favorite prop bets for the week. Grab a pin and
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: a pad because last week we were undefeated.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: We're a fire Boomshaka laka, speaking of dated references, we'll
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: be back. We're back on.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Game Day you loand Sunday at nine am Eastern, Rich Eisen,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, Steve Mariuci, Cyndia Freeland in the whole gang.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Get you set for a kickoff with NFL Game Day Morning.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Gerald McCoy goes well on one with his former teammate
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Bucks wide receiver Mike Evans. Plus the guys tell us
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: if Lions Bills is a Super Bowl preview, all that more.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Sunday, nine a m. Eastern. Congratulations Cynthia taller than DJ.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: In the yep, yeah that time, at that time, it
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: was an inaccurate in your favor.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I'm definitely not taller than DJ.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: We're working up our way off to Cynthia eventually being
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the tallest person on that graphic. Let's get some predictions
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: for week fifteen.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: For write this down. What should the people take note of, Greg?
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: They should take note of me hitting a double banger
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: last week in terms of my picks, combining a quarterback's
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: passing yards and his yardage and his touchdowns and a
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: team let's go Vikings this week. Twenty six and a
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: half points. That's their team total. I feel great with
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: them against the eber fluse less Bears, and then Sam Darnold.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: You think he's gonna get through a game without at
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: least two touchdowns?
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I love this.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: You can smash them together, just like I did with
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Tua and the Dolphins points last week.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: This time it's Donald and the Vikings.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: It's going to it a time trying to catch it. Cynthia,
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: what are you writing though?
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: I'm just gonna go slow and steady. That's what win
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: the race.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: And I have Vonicks to run for more than seventeen
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: and a half yards against the Colts.
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: On Sunday. You said that they play what kind of defense?
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Zold?
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: You know what you can do against the zone defense?
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Run?
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so Bonix likes to run as well.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I would like to add one more thing onto the
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: pile of overs that we have for the Bills game
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: against the Lions, Jamison Williams going over fifty two and
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: a half receiving yards against the Buffalo Bills. Because unlike
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Cynthia's model, I have high, high hopes and belief in
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: the Detroit they will come out.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Can I tell you.
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: Something crazy here?
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Yes, Danny Rodgers, the Lions reporter, just reported that Jamison
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: Williams and Kien Williams first cousins.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: Did anyone else know that?
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I that's all.
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: About facts, all about facts here.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Thanks in the Williams family. It's just you watching football,
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: seeing guys score a whole bunch of points.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Thanks for watching game debut with our family here, presented
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: by Mercedes Bens.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Enjoy the games. We'll see you next week
