• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome to game debut, Patrick Clay, I'm back here
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: with Greg Rosenthal and Cynthia Freeland, who is back in
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the lead. Still in our picks, but we've learned recently, Cynthia,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the games matter more now and Greg Rosenthal would like
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to change the system.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: So okay, let's come up with We'll come up with
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: a rubric here. So what happened with everything before a
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: week nine or week ten didn't matter?
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, it all counts, but what is it?
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: Bill Parcells used to say, you know, three or football
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: starts at Thanksgiving, So that's like our picks. Let's really
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: start focusing and dial in now.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: So we've got a couple of weeks because Thanksgivings in
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: two weeks.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So Coach Parcells not currently viewing our show,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you don't know that, perhaps, Coach high here's our picks,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the majority of which came way before Thanksgiving.
• 0:56
  Speaker 6: Suck is what we're saying.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: That's why our Queen Sea is right there with five
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: straight weeks picking ten or more games. Dan Cynthia is
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: still in first place.
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: Been making game picks like an MVP lately.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford has been playing like one.
• 1:14
  Speaker 7: Matthew has it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 8: Throws down in the LNS tunnel screen poop and Akuak
• 1:17
  Speaker 8: gets one block, now another, He's clean touchdown. Pooka.
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: Stafford into daylight, hits.
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: The sideline, click to the back.
• 1:25
  Speaker 9: HiT's caught for a touchdown and that's career touchdown.
• 1:29
  Speaker 10: Pass number four hundred.
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: Helmut high snap look he left, throws that way. It's
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: cot for a touchdown. He throws no look left side
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: belong Parkinson. He can walk right in. Matthew Stafford and
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: the Rams are.
• 1:44
  Speaker 10: Stopping on San Francisco.
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: You can see what that shimmy there. Matthew Stafford's been bawling.
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: He's got a monster matchup right over there at.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Zofar Stadium against the Seahawks. The winner will claim sole
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: possession of first place in the division.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: So who is able to do that after.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: The game sent I think the Seahawks are able to
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: do that by one twenty four to twenty three in
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: this matchup. It really comes down to this is a
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: like probably the best game of the week, I think,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: And when I'm looking at this I'm like.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: What's the difference.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Well, the defense for the Seahawks, they've been getting better, healthier,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: creating more of the disruptive and nasty kind of pressure,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and just doing things that we are seeing make teams
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: extremely uncomfortable.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: And doing it at a very high level.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, they have the most different players who are
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: causing quarterback hits, the most different players with double digit pressures.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: They're doing all of these things for a lot of
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: different directions that you're like, oh, I don't even know
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: who's gonna come at me with this pressure this time.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: It's kind of all of them.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: So that's the type of defense that Mike McDonald is
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: used to coming from the Ravens, and he's kind of
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: it's really like all come together this season.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I think these are the two best teams in the NFL.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I think it's the game of the forget the week,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: maybe the game of the year so far.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I was about to say, I can't tell if the
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: year's just started or if it's over yet, Like all
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: of these things.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: You're saying, this game does matter even though it's at
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: four h five E. I mean, come on, NFL, they
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: didn't see this coming as the game of the year.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: You know what else people didn't see coming the Seahawks
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: running game last week against Arizona. Everyone had turned the
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: channel by then because they were up twenty five points.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: They had a drive that lasted thirteen plays. They did
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: not throw the ball on one of those plays, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: I saw an improvement in terms of their blocking. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Arizona's a good defense overall, and even though they're without
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: their center this week, I think their running game has
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: gotten more consistent.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: It was one of the heaviest.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Run pass scripts in the entire season by any team,
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: and yet they were very effective fifty eight percent success right,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: And I think that's important this week because you want
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: to keep those Rams pass rushers from just going into
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: the backfield. I think they can be more balanced than
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: they have been. I'm taking the Seahawks to win this game.
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: I agree with both of you.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: This is a great game with two of the best
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: teams in the NFL right now.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: You can make a case. I would make it the
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: Seahawks have been playing the best football.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I've got the Rams by four twenty six to twenty two.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Amid all the trends of throwing out a heavy personnel.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Both teams are really good at it. And I know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: as Gregs has undermined me here by pointing out this,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks were run on the ball pretty well last week.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: One week does not a season make the Seahawks number
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: thirty in rush efficiency.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: Right now, the Rams number four.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Styles make fights, and I fear the Seahawks might be
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a bit one handed, and I lean on Los Angeles
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: in this one, So yeah, I'll be the straight bout.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I'll be all by myself, so one of us will
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: be right regardless unless there's a tie in the Game
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: of the Year, which is not something that we're looking
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: forward to. Stop for Who's eating good presented by Applebee's,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: it is Matthew Stafford leading the NFL with twenty five
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: passing touchdowns. Cynthia will we have more or less than
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: two and a half against Seattle.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: So I mean it would be smarter to say that
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: he'd have less than he'd have too. But if you're
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: looking at the run that he's been on, as in
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: like four more passing touchdowns and consecutive games, I think
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: you're fine saying more. I think there's going to be
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: some situation here where the run game does matter. But
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: this is going to be an uncomfortable game for both
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: quarterback so I think that both will have to lean
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: on the pass game. Just you know, if our Seattle
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: ZeVA is just triple team Pooka to cook, You're fine,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: That makes me feel better about my thick.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: With Matthew Stafford going over two and a half touchdowns,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: he has the Rams offense humming, as does Dan Campbell.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: All in plays with the Lions.
• 5:26
  Speaker 10: The five four yards, Sir Samer gets putting together a
• 5:32
  Speaker 10: day punch up the middle, then telling about Toulson, then
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: on the edge, and once you get them out on
• 5:37
  Speaker 10: the edge, sonic is gone.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: The Troy's heading the Philly for a potential playoff preview
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: with the Eagles. The Lions crushed the Commanders last week,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: while the Eagles hung on to win in Green Bay.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: We know what you want, Cynthia. What does the model
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: have to say about this game?
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: The model hates my heart and it's picking Philadelphia too,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Although there's some like it's okay because the Eagles were
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl for me, so I kind of.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Win both ways.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: But Philadelphia wins twenty four to twenty three in this
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: matchup in my model because Jalen Hurts is able to
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: target one of the deficiencies that the Lions still have,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: which is their deep passing threat, mainly that they're still
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: missing pieces in their secondary, and that's going to be
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: a problem when you have the diversity of pass catchers
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: like I don't know, aj Brown, DeVante Smith, Dallas like
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: need I say more.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: It's just too many different.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Options against a defleated secondary, and that makes just the
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: smidge of difference that causes a one point win for
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the Eagles. It's gonna be a great game. I kind
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: of wish that I wasn't a fan. I could just
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: be like, watch this one. But I like that Lions
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: fan of me is like, well this is this is
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: gonna be a bad Sunday night, we promise.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: The Lions fan within Cynthia is a little more passionate
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: with the roar there on that one. I'm on the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: same page with the model. I've got a two point
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: win for the Birds. The Lions twenty four to twenty
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: six fall to Philadelphia.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: They love to play man.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Only four teams have seen more pass attempts while they're
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: in coverage, and Jalen Hurts has some pretty good options.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: When the other teams are in man coverage.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Like that guy, I know that there's a lot of
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: questions about a j Brown's frustration breaking news area receiver
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: would like to contribute to offense more at eleven. Sometimes
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: it's the Jimmy's and the Joe's. Jalen Hurts has thirteen
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: touchdowns of one pick against man coverage. So yeah, eleven
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and six, I think, get healthy in this one in
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Birds win.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Greg, it's not about the Jimmy's and the Joe's. It's
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: about Dan Dan Campbell. And if you looked at their scores,
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: by the way, look at the bottom of the screen.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: You see how you know Cynthia by one, Patrick by two.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: They say the Lions are going to cover anyways, go
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: the whole way and just.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Get Greg with like God, that's doo with me. That
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: was all Dodger style.
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: That's Greg there.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Dan Campbell made a decision and he is calling plays
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: this week, I think and forever, I'm never doing that again.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: You know what I was doing, Jamison Williams bigger part
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: of the Lions offense now that Dan Campbell's is calling plays.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: It was just spamming something that worked, which was Jamison wins,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: and I know it's gonna be much harder this week
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: when you're not playing the commander's defense. But I thought
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: he made a lot of smart moves, including not leaving
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Jamir Gibbs in in pass protection. You see David Montgomery
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: here on a pass play, was in more often on
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: third downs, and in more in general on passing plays.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: And look, Dan Campbell's had to overcome.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: A stereotype his whole career.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: I get it, like he's a big, strong guy and
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: people don't think he's that smart. I face that my
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: whole life too. He's also smart, not just strong.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: And that's why he puts the play color glasses on.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I just feel like, like that is everyone who's aging
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: a little bit. He puts him down his nose, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: he's like looking over the top and then looking down
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: over the top and down.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: It's just it's it's perfection. It's perfection.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: It's intimidating.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to like if somebody's calling plays and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: they don't have glasses on.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the glasses on. I'm ready to execute. The Eagles
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: and lines currently in great position to make the playoffs.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: Let's go to the AFC West.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Where we could see three teams make the postseason. As
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: we look at the odds according to season or sportsbook,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the Broncos at plus one fifteen ahead of the Chiefs
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and then the Chargers and yeah, if you you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: if you'd like to, you can get the loss makings
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Raiders a plus seventy five thousand.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: The Chiefs got a problem out of Broncos.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Call the hotlan immediately squag off Sunday, Denver currently three
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: games up on Casey in the division.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: What happens Grect?
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: I think the Chiefs come out of the by looking
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: their best. I've been saying I think the Chiefs are
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: still the best team in the AFC, but they gotta
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: start making it happen. Twenty four to twenty is my
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Chiefs win, partly because of that by situation. It's one
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: of my favorite annual traditions. Forget about Thanksgiving, it's the
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: bye weeks that let's trot out that old canard, Oh
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Andy Reid, I hope you're around forever so I don't
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: have to do my homework whatever.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Whenever I talk about the Chiefs coming off of bye
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: what's the record now?
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Two and twenty two and four Mahomes also thirteen and
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: one against Denver all time.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: That's a good one.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Mahomes, by the way, only has one loss coming off
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: of Buy in his career. And I do think that
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: it gives this time to reset for the Chiefs and
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: what they want to do offensively, hopefully fix that running
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: game against the Broncos.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: I mean I to have Kansas City. The model's like
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: a little drunk this week because lots of close scores
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: twenty three to twenty two in this matchup. Why what
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: is the difference? What makes that tiny shred of difference? Well,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: it's the different number of pass catchers that Patrick Mahomes
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: has at his disposable. They can find a lot of
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: different mismatches. Andy Reid over the Buy studied where he
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: wants to do the mismatches. You know, Patzertan has not
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: been playing.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: The front is really good. So what are you gonna do?
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Get away from that front, get the ball out quickly.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: That's why Patrick Mahomes has not been under a ton
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: of pressure. Oh you know, Oh see, that's such Travis
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Kelcey did you see him? Did you see Rashi Rice earlier?
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: How about literally anyone else? The Xavier Worthy, anyone want
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: to go real fast.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: There's just so many different options, which makes the oh,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: don't keep it in there.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: You get a fine for that, sir.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: But ultimately you're gonna want to take all of these
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: different pass catchers and figure out which mismatch you want.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: And he said to buy, so you know he's gonna
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: you're gonna be able to figure that out.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, congratulations to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes who we
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: are good. Not just after the five, it's just generally good,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: which is why I think that after the vice stat
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: falls and I've picked a lot of games incorrectly when
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I take the Chiefs to lose, so why don't we
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: run it back one more time. I'll take the division,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: leading Denver Broncos by one point twenty one to twenty.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I couldn't help but notice, much like Greg did in
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the other game, you guys have some pretty close close scores.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I went over the number, I went Chiefs out of
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: the way.
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: Well, okay, I think it drove close.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: The model has the model has a problem.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, me and the model are not similar
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: in that capacity. I am fully unimpaired when I make
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: these bad decisions.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: But the Broncos have been in some rock fights.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I think that they can muddy up the picture a
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: lot like the Buffalo Bills did against Kansas City with
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: that talent and get into a close game and then
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: have one of the better scrambling quarterbacks at twenty twenty four,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: start to scramble a little bit more, only justin Herbert
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: has more yards per carry on scrambles. They've been throwing
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the ball laterally, a lot of screens and draws for
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the Broncos.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: Watch coach Peyton, not hide bo Nicks.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Let them go out there and make some decisions and
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: get some scrambles in and beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: It's time forget more with Geico Cynthia. Who's more likely
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: to have four more receptions in this game? Travis Kelcey
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: or Courtland Sun.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Well, we talked about the variety of different pass catchers here,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: so for me, it's Courtland Sutton. On the other side,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: who's the coach Sean Payton? What's he in the mold
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: of Bill Parcell?
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: What does that mean?
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Big body guys who have an opportunity to absolutely just
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: body the hetch out of the defensive backs.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Are going to be the formula.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Now, these could all happen in the fourth quarter because
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Boenix doesn't seem to really come alive until the end
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: of the game, but ultimately I think more likely to
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: have four or more receptions.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton Time for Seas the Season presented by Caesar
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Sports Book.
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: As we look at the first touchdown score odds in.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: The Big Time match up between the Buffalo Bills and
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: He got a couple of Bills at the top, followed
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: up by Rashad White, Ameka Buka and Kean Coleman.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Let's dive more into this mega matchup between the Bucks
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and the Bills. Both teams dropped games last week. Who
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: walks away with a win here?
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Grect, I think the Bucks pull off the big upset,
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: at least according to the number. I mean it's five
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: and a half, six and a half, whatever it is.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: I don't think it should be that big of an upset.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: The Bucks are a good team, and I think they
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: have the right personnel to stop the Bills offense because
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: they can do what the Dolphins did a week ago,
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: but do it better. Here are some of the mistakes
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: that Josh Allen was making, forcing the ball into coverage.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: The Dolphins basically copied what the Patriots did and they
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: loaded up up front, and they dared Buffalo to win
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: their one on one matchups. And you know what, Kean
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Coleman couldn't do it, even against guys who just got
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: on the roster like Juju Brents.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen. I don't think was patient enough.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: And I think this is a better Buccaneers defense than
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: they've been in previous years, so they can load up
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: to stop the run. It's one of the best Todd
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Bowles defenses of the Buccaneers Bulls era, and I think
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: they get the win because Buffalo's limited right now on offense.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm with you, Greg.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I have a five point win for the Tampa Bay
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Buccaneers twenty five of twenty. I think the Bills have
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: great matchups throughout the AFC, but sometimes the strength and
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: weaknesses play out funny. And we just saw, like Greg
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: pointed out, the Bills not able to separate against the Fins.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: And now the matchup is even worse against the Bucks,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: where teams are outright avoiding Antoine Winfield, except of course,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the Patriots on four down last week, and maybe it
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: should be avoiding Jamel Dean, who has held opposing quarterbacks
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to a passer rating of.
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: Twenty two point eight. It's the lowest sense, at least
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: twenty eighteen.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the Bills get it figured out
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: in one week, Cynthia, I've got the Bucks.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: Here are you guys?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: You guys need to call some sort of number because
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: you're giving me the bills. Okay, fine, I'll take the
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: bills twenty seven to twenty three bleed mode. Give me
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: that prime number I feel very good about at home.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Can we get double Can we get double points for
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: me getting.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: We should get double double wins if we will, we're
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: picking the big opposite. We're not taking oh, the safe
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: little prime number, you know, safe little truck.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: The safe little prime number right here. Well, listen, when
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: do you talk about a Todd Bowles defense?
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: Maybe in the.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Power No, it's the fastest one, or it's the it's
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: the best one.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: You how about I've other run the Patriots out.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: These are the only too successful good not.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: A great rushing team, the Patriots.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: And you know who rushed really well against the Bucks?
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: All the people this.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Is this is not a normal Todd Bowles rushing defense.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Usually when you think Bulls, you think just some sort
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: of wall against the run.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: That's not what's happening this season. Especially in the middle.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Even though they have Vitavea there, they're able to.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Get a bunch of yards, a bunch of yards before contact,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: a bunch of yards after contact.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: In the interior. James James Cook is still on the
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: team last.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: I checked, right, Yeah, I don't know. I didn't see
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: him last week.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: Much.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, well, all right, fine, okay, Bills fans, I'm
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: sure we'll hear from you.
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: Well, we got spicy Greg today, folks.

  Speaker 9: Eight so old tiptoes in touchdown in the blue peg.
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: Caleb Williams seventeen yards took care of business himself.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: The Chicago Bears have won six of their last seven games.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: They've got JJ McCarthy and the Vikings who stole one
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: from Chicago way back in Week one.
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: Does Caleb get revenge, Cinthia?
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a whole one point revenge.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: I have Chicago winning this game twenty five to twenty four.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: I want to maybe I usually avoid saying hard things
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: on TV, but maybe Ben Johnson is the blitz whisper. Huh.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: I nailed it right there there.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a hard one to say because Caleb's opportunity
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: against the Blitz this season kind of has the same
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: trajectory that Jared Goff's had for the Bears, as in,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: he's very very good against the Blitz. And there's like
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: only few things guaranteed in life, right, death taxes, and
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Ryan Flora is blitzing you, So you know that's going
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: to happen, especially if they try to take away the run,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: which the Bears have been very strong in the run game,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: and so if they try to do that, then it'll
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: be like Philadelphia style, and what's gonna happen? Caleb Williams
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: little does pass it right over their heads, but ultimately
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: he's great against the Blitz. Caleb Williams is doing a
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: very nice job quarterbacking this team. The Bears are playing
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: for a play they're looking to try to make the
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: playoffs here, so they're going to want to get that
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: one game back against the Vikings.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: I agree with you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I've got a Bears win even more handily twenty one
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: to seventeen. And yes, they have a plan against the Blitz,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: and sometimes when the plan doesn't go round.
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: It doesn't look right.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: And Caleb Willis is back there running around doing a
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: bunch of different stuff that works out too. The plan
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: for the Minnesota Vikings, the execution hasn't necessarily been great.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy had the whole field to throw to, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: he threw to Marlin Humphrey. They're maybe predetermining some throws
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: and even when he's making the right decisions in this game.
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: Again, things will get better for JJ McCarthy.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: But just like Caleb had to go through those growing pains,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: JJ's going through them now. I'll say he's a rookie.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: This is his first NFL season. He's a rookie quarterback,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: and I think it's.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: A rough one here, Greg.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: That was where my gut was going to.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: And then I got to the meeting today I saw
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: everyone was picking the Bears. That didn't feel right. The
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: Vikings are favored. I'm going with the Vikings. I'm going
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: with maybe my heart more than my head here, let's.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Just scrag it up.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: I'm not doing that thing again ever again.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: Maybe just one more time.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: No, Look, Aaron Jones is running the ball fantastically since
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: he came off the bike. Sometimes you just got to
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: use your eyeballs. And JJ McCarthy is very unpredictable, I
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: will admit it. I do not feel confident in him,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: but he has had made some good plays. When I
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: look at these two teams, there's just more talent on Minnesota,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: like Aaron Jones out of the backfield, Aaron Jones as
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: a runner has looked fantastic, justin Jefferson Jordan Addison. Like
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: they are a better group overall in terms of the
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: skill position, talent.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: And then we know that the defense.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: Is more experienced, I think, more versatile than Chicago. So ultimately,
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: even though the vibes seem horrendous right now, in Minnesota,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: I'm going with the Viking.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Owen would change those vibes because it does seem
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: to directly correlate.
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: A Pisco back pitches. Arry go, He's caught twenty ten five.
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: That's not Miami. Ay Chad have a day. Oh my gosh, Touns.
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: I don't think you ever. He never got the full
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: speed on that way.
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: He didn't need to snooze off.

  Speaker 7: Bottle some help.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Every game is so close this week I double triple
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: quadruple checked it. But I'm looking at this one and
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: dan Quinn calling the defense does make a difference. Now
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: doesn't make a difference necessarily against Jalen Wattle. We shall see,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: because where has this maners defense been especially vulnerable? Well,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: passes in general, deep passes, passes of ten plus air yards,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: just basically anything that's a downfield pass, like are you
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: going to pass the ball? We've got a problem stopping
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: that in Jalen Waddle, this speed, the route running. This
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: is a guy who has really helped to a tongue
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: of Bailoa out quite a bit. I'm thinking in this
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: game dan Quid will be able to help. But he's
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: not playing. He's not going to go out there and play.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe he should, you know.
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: I mean the video we saw in last Bump where
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: it's like his giant.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Head looking at that was hilarious.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: You get him out there, it can make some changes.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: I agree.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I've got a ten point win twenty two to twelve,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and I'm glad to be in this position to facilitate
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: my agenda.
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: And that's Meetings may be a touch overrated.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: When you schedule a meeting, sometimes the schedule is more
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: important than the meetings.
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: And I think that's what happened for the Miami Dolphins.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: The schedule is a little less itchy right now, and
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: we're not talking about meetings. We're discussing football. And when
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: they play football and they get the ball to Davon
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: a chan thing, go well, he's got four hundred and
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: eleven yards after the catch this season.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: It's a great number. His average depth of target is negative.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: He's getting the ball in the backfield on passes and he's.
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: Still getting a whole bunch of yards. He's carrying the
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: franchise right now. I think he does it for a win.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: Greg There is a path for the Dolphins to get
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: back at least into the In the Hunt graphic, you
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: got this game, you got the bye, you got the
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Jets and the Saints. I think their defense is playing
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: better because nobody's watching it lately. On Sunday, we'll all
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: learn Bradley Chubb. Watch this sack that he had late
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter. He shoves Dion Dawkins off him
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: with his left hand and then he launches himself through
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: the air.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: This just fired me up watching it, and I thought
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: this defense.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Is playing with a lot of energy. Pay no attention
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: to the celebration penalty they gave him after. I don't
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: care about that. This is a quality left tackle that
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: he just threw off them. And then Jordan Brooks, I think,
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: playing like a pro bowler. They're better in the back
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: end with Mika Fitzpatrick playing slot.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Are eighth in the.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: NFL in success rate over the last month. That's a
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: pretty good sample size of a good defense.

  Speaker 2: the Wells Fargo Active Cash credit Card. Let's make some
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: quick picks here on our show, we go to the
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Packers and the Giants.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: The g Men fired.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Brian Dabole earlier this week, Jackson Dart dealing with an injury.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Jamis Winston has been named the starter. All of that
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: leading up to Greg Rosencal's pick, which.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Will be It will be the Giants covering that seven points. Okay,
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: the Packers aren't gonna lose this game. They gotta win.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: But Jamis Winston back in the lineup, and you got
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: the new coach bump in terms of Mike casp you
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: know I'm at least going Giants to cover. Look, Jamis
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Winston has been around for a while and he always
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: raises the team that he joins for a few weeks,
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: and then sometimes it gets a little stale.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: He's only thirty one years old.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: I don't like his situation this week because Darius Slayton's
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: her obviously, no Malik Neighbors or Scataboo. There's too many
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: injuries for him to overcome. But I think Jamis plus
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: the new coach at least they keep it close.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to the forty nine Ers and
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals brought party is expected back for the Niners.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Does he get a win in the long awaited returns?
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: The long national nightmare is over who will be the
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: starting quarterback for the Niners? Every week it's up until
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: ninety minutes before the game, And yes, I have a
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: win for them. Twenty four to twenty two. George Kittle's
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: impact can't be understated. When he's on the field. What happens, well,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: they can play a lot more twelve, they get over
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: one yard more per rush, and they haven't been great
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: at rushing so far this season. They're actually much better
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: in the passing game. And George Kittle in general just
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: super valuable. So even if he's not lighting it up
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: for your fantasy team as maybe we had hoped at
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: the beginning of the season, given everything that's going on,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: he is the X factor on this offense, and I
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: think it's going.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: To be very helpful for him against the Cardinals defense.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: All Right, we'll keep it going to the Ravens and
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: the Browns, Baltimore nipping at the Steelers Heels in the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: AFC North, and I think they get their fourth straight
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: win here a score of twenty three to ten.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: And you know, my brother did so much for me.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: As little brothers, you always want to give back and
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: shout out to little brother.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: For sending over a Looie Gilman in.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: The trade to big brother, because the teams have been
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: a lot better on this Baltimore defense since he arrived.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: He got targeted three times against the Minnesota Vikings allowed
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: no catches played one hundred percent of the snaps. Quality increases,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I appreciate your coach Jim for the trades.
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: Let's take a look at the odds to win the
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: NFC going into League eleven.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: According to our friends at Caesar Sportsbook, it.
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: Is the Eagles at the top.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: We're tied with the Rams, the Lions, Seahawks, and Packers
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: rounding out the list.
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: As we get to more or less the.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Four teams with the best odds to win the conference
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: just so having to be playing each other this weekend. Eagles,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: the Lions, Seahawks, and Rams tons of star power.
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: So let's talk about some props.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: For these games as we got the foam fingers out.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: So let's begin with the leader in receiving yards in
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: the National Football League, Jackson Smith and Jig but more
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: or less than ninety nine yards against.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: The way Okay, so we're gonna go with less than
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: ninety nine, but he scores a touchdown. My reasoning for
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: this one is about slowing the pace down, run the
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: football more, rely on a bit more balance so that
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: you can control the narrative a bit more. You don't
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: really want to give Matthew Stafford a bunch of opportunities
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: to come back against you. So it's just about pace,
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: it's not about anything.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: To do with him.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: He scores a touchdown, just a slightly lower than one
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: hundred for senior yards.
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: All right, let's go to Greg Roosevelt.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: We'll Pooka Nakula have more or less than seven catches
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: on Sunday.
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: It's a lot.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: If I've learned one thing covering the NFL, it's that.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Pooka Nakula rules. He's going over seven and a half receptions.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: He was high volume early in the season. I know
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: he's been battling some injuries over the last few weeks,
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: but he looked great last week. And look, I don't
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: think the Seahawks are going to give up much deep
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: down the field, so I think it's gonna be a
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: lot of the shorter routes to Pooka Nakoula. And yeah,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Davante Adams is great, but he's a little banged up
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: this week. And ultimately, when it's winning time, it's Puka time.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: It's going to Jamiir Gibbs, who's We've had a lot
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: of Gibbs time this season. He went off last week
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: for one hundred and forty two yards two scores.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Does he go over sixty two yards against the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: it's sixty two yards for Jamiir Gibbs. I think he
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: will discussed his success, the explosiveness. Look at this game
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: against the Tampa.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Bay sixty two plus right there.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: It happens right there.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: There was there was a time where the longest rush
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: for Jamiir Gibbs was was.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: Fiend Family from Cynthia Freelis on this show. And yeah,
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: I think he'll have a big one. He'll have the opportunity.
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: And as Greg pointed out, maybe he's not playing as
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: many passing down plays.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: But cards are there for the Eagles, Lions, Rams, Seahawks
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: all very likely to be in the playoffs coming up.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: No red teams. Isn't that funny There were no red
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: teams on that graphic.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: It's interesting. Pay attention, folks, taking note. Another team that's
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: making a push for January, the Bolts.
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: They rushed for Herbert FROs.
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: Cat touchdown Chargers Lad mcconckey sixteen yards on what DJ
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: you called.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: It, the cuttings.
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: Everything's going to the outside, just got to give a
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: couple of hard steps and you're gonna be able to
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: win in the middle of the field.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: And he was wide opened.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: It's sounding from the Reid presented by Microsoft co Pilot.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Microsoft co Pilot, your AI companion for NFL Game Day
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: and every Day, we asked which matchup would decide the
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Chargers Jags game, and co Pilot highlighted the Jags running
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: backs against the Chargers linebackers and run defense. ETN had
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: only eighty eight rushing yards on the ground last week.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: If Jacksonville can't establish the run, might be tough sledding
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: for the Jags offense.
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: So that's co Pilot's view. Let's talk more about this
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: matchup down in Duval.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: As Liam Goldman say, the Chargers have won three in
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: a row, Jacksonburne coming off an epic collapse against the Titans.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Could this be a trap game? For excuse me, they
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: lost to the Houston Texans. For the folks in Los Angeles, I.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: Mean, I get what's a trap game some days?
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Draguars have a winning record this year, so I don't
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: think they can be trapped.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know what a trap game is, but why
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: I do have the Chargers winning twenty three to twenty one.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: What I'm looking at this game, I just want to
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: give a little love to Justin Herbert. Why because the
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: poor man has been getting clobbered. He's gotten hit more
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: than anyone else, and yet he is still dealing.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: He's delivering deep passes.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: This is a pass first offense, something we did not
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: think we would be talking about when it comes to
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: a Jim Harbaugh offense.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: But just look at all these different ways.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, the man has been doing this with like
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: all of the pre sure in the world coming against him,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: and he's still delivering.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: So I just want to give a little bit of
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: love where love is due.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: And you know, I've talked a lot about how this
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: old line can be improved. But Justin Herbert he's dealing
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: with it. He's being He's very.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: Mature that one.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: He is making it work without a lot of help.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: That's something that should put him in the conversation the MVY.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: What conversation for trap get I was the conversation game?
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: You know what could I be help his case in
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: the How about a last second drive against a defense
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: that is making a habit of giving up last second
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: drives to much lesser quarterbacks. Remember back in Week two
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: when Jake Browning went down the field with a chance
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: to win the game and stole a win. How about
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Gino Smith? Oh, you might say, oh the Raiders lost
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: that game. Well, they needed touchdowns on their last three drives,
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: and they got touchdowns on their last three drives. The
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: Jaguars couldn't get a single stop late. And then last week, Oh,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: it's the Coup of grad It's one of the best
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: games of the entire season. It was twenty six to
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: nothing in the fourth quarter. All the Jags got to
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: do is stop Davis Mills once. They couldn't stop him
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: one time, and he gets in by a neck.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Let's go. I think the Chargers can beat the Jaguars.
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: We are all aboard, So folks down there and duvall
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: hit us up. This is a meme alert. I've got
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: a three point Chargers win twenty three to twenty. Because
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: the passing game in Jacksonville is not so hot right now.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence has struggled against zone coverage this season. He's
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: got the second lowest completion percentage against zone and also
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: he's only one of only three qualified quarterbacks who has
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: not thrown a touchdown number one against split safety coverage.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: There was a struggle, but everybody struggles against the Houston
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Texans and their defense.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: I want to see how that Chargers team that really got.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: After Aaron Rodgers last week goes up against tred We
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: are all on the Chargers and coming up what a
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: forty year old been like. There's a joking there somewhere
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: nineties hip hop Craft beer, which is I guess some
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: people like that in fast.
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: Cars, but not these old guys. These guys love slinging touchdowns.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: We're talking Rogers against Flacco the old man bow, which
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: is weird.
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: Because I'm older than both of them. Coming up next
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: here on games.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: Name and I don't like Kraft beer or carres like nineties.
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: Forty year old Joe Flacco ready to take on forty
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: one year old Aaron Rodgers.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Rogers fires out to you a talk on treld Crazy
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: the West Sideline.
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: I want to fly sixty eight yards Rogers with the
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: lead magics.
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: Flacco throws a fade and it is call and going
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: into a slide. His T Higgins money Mack is ready.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: They can't get his up in God the Bengals have
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: a two point lead with seven seconds left on Laclown.
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: Rogers heard any launches it into the end zone and
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: it broken up. Did complete half the Bengals half knocked
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: out the Steelers on Thursday.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Night, It's Not for Once Ahead presented by Credit One Bank.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: That Week seven game was an as they were seven.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Passing touchdowns between Rogers and Flaco. Big rematch Sunday. Who
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: gets a win or something?
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it's only fair if they split the series,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: So I have Pittsburgh winning twenty five to twenty three is.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: Just what the model picked. The five points is kind
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: of crazy to me. But I want to talk about
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers because.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Last week against the you know, Chargers, it was he
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: did look a little maybe a little tired, like not
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: necessarily like what we're used to seeing from him.
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: When you shut your eyes and think Aaron Rodgers.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: But one way to knock off the rest is to
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: play the Bengals. And when you're looking at the opportunity
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: to just absolutely sling it will start to see good form.
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: This will be a question, is Aaron Rodgers back?
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: Is Okay?
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Guys, it's gonna matter. It's gonna matter you know it's
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: it's okay if he's not Aaron Rodgers of you know,
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: several years ago in every single game. But I think
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: we see a good version of him and Joe Flacco.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a significantly better version because the opponent is kind
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: of struggling on defense. I have a thirty to twenty
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: eight win for the Pittsburgh Steelers here because, as Greg
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: ross All pointed out a couple of years ago, if
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: you get the ball to Jalen Warren, Yep, good things happen.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: Here's one thing.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Tackle.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: When Jalen Warren gets the ball, thirty one percent of
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: the time he forces a mistackle somewhere. What better opportunity
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: for him to force miss tackle than against the Cincinnati
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Bengals defense, who are doing it at a generational clips
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: in this generation.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: To force it or are they just gonna let him
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: run it?
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: He just saw it happen, I'm understand.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: But are they even gonna try to force it?
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: Maybe we'll see.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: We'll see what al Gold squad has has in store
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: for Jalen Warren and the Steelers are maybe just anybody
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: who has football is moving in a general direction opposite
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: to them.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: Greg right, Usually coming off the bye week, it's like,
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: oh Andy Rito cook some good stuff up in the lab.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: I actually think the opposite happens for the Bengals. They're
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: worse coming out of the by They have worse ideas.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: The Steelers win this game by ten the second time around.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: It was a great story. He was one of the
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: games of the year. Flacco having that night like it
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: never happens again two times. And why it won't happen
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: for Flacco in this game is because of the Jimmy's
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: and the Joe's upfront, or more specifically, the Tjs and
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: the Nates.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: And the Alexes and the Cams.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: Those are some of the pass rushers for this Steelers
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: team that I just think are a mismatch for this
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: pass rush and Joe Flacco, if you look at his
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: numbers against pressure this year, is one of the worst
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: two or three quarterbacks in the league. He's just been
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: able to avoid it. I don't think he can avoid
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: it this week.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: I got closest to the sixty plus points that we
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: got the last time they played.
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: We don't think they're gonna get that close.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Vegas still thinks the game is going to be high scoring.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: The second highest total of the week.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: The highest totals leader right now the Dallas Cowboys at
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: the Las Vegas Raiders, ahead of the Bengals, Steelers for Denis, Cardinals, Seahawks,
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: and Rams.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the Bengals after the buyer back on this
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: graphic where they belong.
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: As we get to some quick picks.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Here on Game Day View, the Cowboys and Raiders Monday night.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Dallas traded for Quinn and Williams last week.
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: How's this one?
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Doesn't? I think we see more than the points total
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: that we saw projected there. I have twenty seven to
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: twenty four in favor of the Cowboys in this one.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about Cede Lamb because Dak Prescott
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: has just been dealing and we have documented it pretty
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: much every single week on this show. But don't forget
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: fantasy players. This is going to be a big CD
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Lamb week. Why because this is the opportunity against a
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: secondary that is very generous to opposing wide receivers to
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: not have Dak have to make these tight window catches.
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: So there'll be some more space for CD to work with.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: So that's an even better opportunity to not just catch it,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: but catch and run which is what Ceedee Lamb does best.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Go to the Falcons and the Panthers. Atlanta has lost
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: four in a row, both teams looking forward spark what
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: happens to him.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Third, I have the Falcons winning this game by six.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: I think their defense is the best unit in this game,
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: and that's ultimately why it's twenty three to seventeen. But
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: I want to talk about the quarterbacks in this game.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: You know, quarterback development is not linear, and I think
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: we're at a big moment for both Michael Pennox and
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: Bryce Young. You remember, after Bryce Young was benched last season,
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: played much better, aggressive down the stretch.
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: I think the last couple of weeks.
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: Have been the toughest performances for him individually that I've
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: seen out of him for a while. Michael Pennox right
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: now really struggling against man coverage and opposing defenses are
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: figuring out what he can't do. So young quarterbacks are
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: gonna go up and they're going to go down. I
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: think they're both at critical moment. Bryce Young potentially to
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: ensure that he is the guy there next year, and
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: then Michael Pennox, I think he wants to show development
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: within this season and kind of improve on some of
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: his weaknesses, especially against man coverage.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Long term implications there in that one. Let's go to
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: the Texans and the Titans, another divisional matchup. Houston pulled
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: off a comeback for the Ages last week against the Jags,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: and I think they win here without necessarily needing to
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: come from behind eighteen to sixteen. And I would like
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: to issue an apology to one Davis Mills, who I doubted,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: but he's got the second fastest time to.
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: Throw this season.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Defense maybe with an opportunity to get after him not
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: a problem for Davis Mills, especially late against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: So yeah, Greg was right, I was wrong.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: May this David meaningless hail Mary?
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: That helped Nico Collins fantasy owners whine their games.
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but that helped get over to that was a.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: Dime they were There was like five dimes in this game.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: This is a very nice past two here to assaults
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: on a third line. They don't win the game without that.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: That starts that game winning drive.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can pick out any of those players late
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: in the game, but the slot of green Grass throwing
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: too or rough one for the defense when come back
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: It's time to write this down, and we have been
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: on fire lately, the whole squad three and oh, Greg
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: and I have been flawless for nearly a month. Some
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: of our favorite player props of.
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: The week are coming up next right here on game debut.
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: Stick around.
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: You do not want to miss it, like the fenders
• 39:16
  Speaker 11: have been missing them.
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: It is time for write this down.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: As we got some prop predictions for a week eleven.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Greg Rosenthal crushed last week with this Davis Mills passing prop,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: so considering that kick us off.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: Though I've hit four straight of these, I might be
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: losing to Cynthia and Patrick by a lot, but I'm
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: nailing these.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: Here we go.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: It's gonna all end for Joe Flacco the storybook season.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: What I'm ending it here, I hate it to go
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: under two hundred and fifty eight yards. I just mean
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: he's not gonna have a great game. I just mean
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: it's been a fairy tale. And at some point I
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: think talent matters, and I don't think the Bengals offensive
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: line is very good, and I do think the Steelers
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: are in every other composition sometimes and this week their
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: defense dominates this game and the Bengals ultimately aren't getting
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: those ws to matter for when Joe Burrow does come
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: back on Thanksgiving.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Today, does write this downcount double after Thanksgiving? How are
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: we going to We're going to figure this out anyways,
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: But mine is that brock Bowers is going to score
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: a touchdown on Monday Night against the Cowboys. Quentin Williams
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: may have been added to the roster, but the secondary
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: still has a bunch of issues. And when they play
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: twelve personnel will things go well for brock Bowers.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: We also saw.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Against the Jags he was able to get into the
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: endzone three times. The defense does have problems still, I
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: think brock Bowers capitalizes on them.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I am going to go to the receiving game where
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: a Mecca Abuka will have over sixty two receiving yards
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: against the Buffalo Bills. You look back this season on
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: what the opposing number one has done against Buffalo. Big
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: back to the Saint Flowers in Week one going for
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: one hundred and forty two Jalen Waddle a couple of
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: weeks ago getting eighty four yards.
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: And a touchdown.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I think the matchup leads towards Abuka playing well like
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: he wasn't started the season when he was completely healthy.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you for spending time with us here on game debut.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: We're going to sort out what actually matters in terms
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: of our season long picks for Cynthia Freeman and Greg Rosenthal.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: I'm back with Claybond. We'll see you coming up next week.
