[Assistant] I mean, we'll get the Packers in a minute. Anyway, uh, whatever. I think the Lions probably win, but it wouldn't shock me if Carolina pulled an upset here. Two, two back-to-back road games in nasty weather for the Lions. You just blame that dumb Texans at the Titans, Titans minus three, another robust total over under 35 and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hatton's getting a little bit of steam here. Ryan Tanahoe reportedly, I don't think it's official yet. It's reportedly out for the year. It's expected he's done for the season. Malik Willis the rest of the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is a Titans defense of Derek Henry special, Pete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got Titans minus three is the best bet too, sorry RJ. Uh, just such is life. Look, I like the Titans, I like the Bengals this week. Here's the deal. Derek Henry. Career stats. Against the Tennessee Titans. Or excuse me, against the Houston Texans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 11 games, 202 carries, 1,254 yards at 6.2 yards per carry, 11 touchdowns, 114 yards per game. And that is if you include that's including


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He destroys his team. They are horrible against the run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They know, you say it doesn't mean anything to them. I think it does mean something to them. Like they got it. They're on a skid, man. Four straight losing games. You know, you fired your GM, you know, you lose your quarterback. There's one guy you can, you can, you can do, you've heard Mike Rabel say it in the locker room. He's like, we have something that no one else in this league has. Derrick Henry. This is a Derrick Henry explosion game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think he has 200 plus rushing yards. Take the over on his rushing yards all the way up to 200 and then we buy people presents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I'm just trying to get there. If you look at who they, who they played this year, it, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, uh, like, sorry, I should bring it up. It's, they lost the giants in the bills early on. They beat the Raiders, Colts, Commanders, Colts again, Texans, Broncos, and then they, they, they beat the Packers, which is like, that's basically their best win. They haven't beaten anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a playoff caliber team yet this season. They're, they're secretly like, we thought they were good and very well doing a great job coaching him and maybe he is, but like, they're not a good team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patrick Mahomes laid 10 points against Pro Bowl caliber quarterback, Jena Smith. Whaaat? Next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Chiefs, minus 10. Okay, it's the Seahawks. Geno Smith. Congrats Geno. Eugene Cyril Smith III.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Made his first Pro Bowl. Pumped for him. Good for him. Good for the voters. A shame on the Pro Bowl voters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not putting Christian McCaffrey in. That's my only real complaint, I think. Oh, and, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's somebody for the, oh, James Bradbury maybe for the Eagles deserves to be in, but, you know, we're nitpicking here. Um, yeah, just saying. Eight Eagles in there on the Pro Bowl teams. Uh, Chiefs laying ten, and this is a huge number, Pete. Total forty-nine and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tense, tense too much. Not a best bet or anything for me. And I, I tend to like the over as well with Pete's thumb up, but I mean, I think it's one of those lines where it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think in 2022, especially if you've got weather concerns, you just have to take the 10 points. Like, I mean, you just don't see that many blowouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And why did they miss extra, or did the Rams miss an extra point too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I mean yes, to the disturbance of many TFS players and fantasy players with Aaron Jones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of those games, Chiefs, up 27-0 at halftime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, this team is not, the Divin's not playing the way that they need it to. Uh, they will let Gino sling around. Uh, my dad has a fantasy, uh, question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not, he's not in the chatter. He just asked me, I'm curious what you guys think. Ken Walker or David Montgomery?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does Walker need to practice on Thursday? Cause the game is Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, but I mean, I mean, and you're talking about Pete Carroll who's just not afraid to run the football. But I mean, Walker, Walker's pretty involved in the passing game too, like relatively speaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, okay, cool. Thank you. Commanders at the 49ers. Niners minus seven. Get a little juice on the, uh, the commanders there. Over under 38 for us. It's dipped down to 37 and a half. I can't imagine that the bomb cycle is getting all the way out to San Francisco. This is just a game between Brock Purdy and Taylor Heinecke and two pretty good defenses, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they're unbelievable. They really are unbelievable. And Heineken, the way that Heineken plays too, like he said, he could, he could steal something on the back door, but he's also like completely unafraid to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give the ball up and the Niners will flip it on you very quickly in terms of return over. I'll pass in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got leaned. I leaned commanders plus seven just cause again, seven points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this, in this league, hashtag this league in 2022, uh, just feels like the, the move to make. Raiders and Steelers! Golly, these games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steelers minus two and a half, a total of thirty eight and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your car, is this a weather game, RJ? So it has to be a weather game, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, give me a Pittsburgh as well. Cole. I mean, look, Cole, I'm not Cole weather, Derek Carr. I said auto like the, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to think Jerry golf was the same way and I don't, I still not totally sold that he's not, but I mean, it makes sense. Like you grew up playing in California in the, in high school and then you play in college in California and then you spend your pro career playing in California and moved to Vegas. Like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you just, you know, you don't see that many of these cold weather games. And as we point out, his record of the cold weather is just terrible. And there's nothing you can do about it. It's tough to play in the cold weather. And when you're a Cali boy. Pittsburgh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Emotionally charged, blue collar town against a Cali boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that place would be loud, dude. Packers at the Dolphins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stinky, stinky line here, Pete. Dolphins minus four, a total of forty-nine and a half that has actually creeped up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aaron Rodgers pointed out he is very excited about playing in Miami on Christmas. And he has, to me Pete, a little glint, a look in his eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says, I know if I go down to Miami and win, I got two games at home against division rivals that I have dominated for the past decade plus to get into possibly get into the playoffs. You see the same look?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Rogers, you, you heard me in the press, in the press conference, like both of them, Lisa, he's talking to Lisa Salter. She's like, you know, your last three opponents all above 500 goes, one's at, one's 500. She was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was like, wait, what? And he's like, he's like, like distinctly talking about the lions. He gets up to the podium after that and he's like, you know, some of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, maybe like to look ahead when you get to buy a little time off, you're checking out the standings. He's like, you see a little path that way. And then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This article comes out from Kaelin Kahler of the Atlantic talking about Air Rogers signals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how it's difficult to be a rookie wide receiver with the Packers and how Rogers, like, I don't, I don't, I want to litigate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He called, right. Exactly. I'm not trying to, I'm not, I'm not trying to litigate whether or not it was a, anything about the article about Rogers, but Rogers goes on Pat McAfee show calls it a nothing burger and horse bleep. And.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mac, if he actually like did like a breakdown, like video by like video breakdown of like reading it out loud, um, the point being is like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You made Aaron Rodgers mad and he was already like motivated anyway to try and sneak in the playoffs. I just think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that we're not supposed to say, well, it's just, when Rogers is acting like this, the Packers are winning games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I concur. And I think he knows that. And it's Christmas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's got a little swagger about him. Give me the Packers plus four, best bet. Rockers minus two and a half at the Rams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one's getting a little steamed up. Might get to three Broncos minus two and a half Pete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, Pete, do you know how awesome it would be if Russell Wilson plays in this game and having never gotten an MVP vote, having definitely not getting one this year, despite the fact that it's expanded to five names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a totally meaningless fashion, I feel like he might like decline the MVP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You win the Super Bowl. This is probably the worst record ever post Super Bowl, but you take it if you win the Super Bowl. 2-2 at well game. I do think it could be a 2-2 at well game. It's supposed to be on. Freaking that pass interference probably cost me in showdown, man. Come on. Go back and catch the ball, 2-2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bucks minus seven and a half at the Cardinals over under forty and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom Brady. Tom Brady in the below 500 bucks lane. More than a touchdown on the road against Trace McSorley. Welcome to week 16 everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I have to at this point, just for like brand awareness, cause I've been beating this drug. Wilson, Ray Wilson's been like thrashing me every week on the podcast. He's like, let me guess, you're going to tell me how Tom Brady can win? I'm like, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's get through some quick. There's Bills and the Bears over under 40 grips. Actually ticked up half a point. Uhm, this could be a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same, no best bet here. I, I want, I got Josh Allen MVP futures from before the season and I added some more recently. So I would like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Allen to have a monster game here. I think he can. Bears defense not good. I also think, do you think with the, with the jail and hearts injury that the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it make them more cognizant about trying not to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean look, battle for the number one seed. This game's at one o'clock, man. Same time, I'm telling you, them and the Chiefs and the Bengals, somebody's going to pull ahead in that MVP race, especially if Jalen Hurts doesn't play. Speaking of Hurts, Eagles at the Cowboys, Cowboys minus five, up to five and a half now, total 47, up to 47 and a half. Um, Gardner Mention Pete, I know you want to back him. Mention Mania returns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every action. I'd like to get, if you'd like to get like the seven that was out there before it came flying back, uh, you know, I'd probably wait on it if it creeps up a little bit just because of, uh, you know, like once cause hurts officially out. I think Billy said he is officially out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Okay. He's officially out. All right. So, um, yeah, maybe just say it's a five and a half, five and a half, five and a half is fine. This team is just good. The team is loaded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she was fine. I mean, she was capable. They can do some stuff that they do with hurts. They can pound mile Sanders. They'll stay. They'll stay with the Cowboys. Nothing would be a bigger slap in the face to the Cowboys who had looked ahead past the Jaguars for this game. Then beating them with their backup quarterback and really sending Jerry Jones into a Christmas tailspin Chargers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minus four and a half at the Colts. Over under 46. That total has dropped down a half a point. Looks like the chargers might creep up to five here, Pete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you're getting booed because you're, you're, you're fading the Colts and Nick Foles. Can we get, can we get over Nick Foles? This guy, I mean, by the way, the, uh, have you watched New Heights at the Kelsey podcast or listen to New Heights and Kelsey podcast? It's really good. Um, they were doing like super like who's the best, like all types of Superbowl MVP and like Jason Kelsey proceeded to make like a 30 second Nick, uh, big


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way that he made the joke, you're like, okay, I see. This is, that is not a, uh, not an urban legend, Mr. Kelsey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would lean charges too. You know why? Because Nick Foles is Nick Foles. He ain't winning anything on Monday night. Get out of here. Boo me away. Or don't boo me. Whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't have anything for revenge parlay. Got to be lookaheads for next week, OJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dig it. Alright. Pete's best bets. Packers plus four. Chiefs. Look at that. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, if you're so inclined to do that, youtube.com slash pick six, all episodes there streaming live all the time. RJ's best bets, Tennessee minus three since he minus three Detroit minus two and a half Pittsburgh minus two and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saints Cleveland under 32 and a half, Baltimore team total under 21 and a half, a T three teasers, New Orleans plus Tampa Bay, the Rams plus this New Orleans. So the, so the saints plus the bucks, the Rams plus the saints, the Rams plus the bucks, a little round. Is that a round Robin teaser technically? Pretty much. Yeah. Can you, can you make that? Can you put that in like a, in a way that would turn into like a multi-level parlay round Robin parlays are fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disrespectful to the Panthers, but okay. And Sully, I do appreciate the fact that you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I'll give it, I'll give that one an A. That's, that's an A worthy. I'll say A minus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sully, it's pretty, it's good thing you're not a lawyer because you would, we would all be guilty of whatever you were trying to defend us from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go, and I always get horrible grades because mine are too conservative according to you numbnuts. Uh, so Sully, that's a subtle hint that you have to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great on a curve here. Uhm, Gino, or as I call him, Eugene Sealsmith III.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against the best defense probably over the last 75, 80 years in the, in the San Francisco 49ers is going to throw for 300 yards. He's going to run for 50 yards and he's going to combine for three touchdowns, pass plus run. So just a little backstory before you guys start whinging this season, Gino Smith's MVP season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four times he's thrown for over 300 yards. None against the 49ers. One against Atlanta, terrible. One against the Lions early on, they were terrible defensively. One against the Raiders, terrible. One against the Rams, who had no players on the field at that point in week 13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he has scored combined more than three touchdowns on four occasions. Uh, those same games except one game, not against the Falcons, instead the Saints, Andy Dalton's team of the future. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going against the 49ers, they're gonna be in the road. Gino has played the Seahawks exactly twice in his career, those both came this year, in which he averaged 200 yards passing and a half a touchdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, 300 yards, throwing, run for 50 more, 3 combined touchdowns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's rushed for 50 yards just so to complete this, this season exactly one time. He's run for 49 and 48 as well, ran for 51 in week 18.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the difference is Eugene Cyril Smith third is better than all those guys combined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sully, just so you know, this is Breach's MO, like you'll give him a prediction that's pretty bold and he'll undercut the prediction with something stupid like 185 versus 200. So, Brinson, are you legit D-ing it? Yes. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just going to be objective Breach and I'll give you a B minus. Cause I, like in a vacuum, that's not terrible, but clearly you're cheating off Sully's paper and I should fail you, but I'm feeling magnanimous today. Uhm, and Breach, I would allow you to grade yourself cause you're, you're going to fail this class, but I'm not going to let you do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't hate that. I like the out of the box thinking for the bowl prediction. Breach, you go first because you're angry. Let's see what you say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't hate it. I'm giving it a B as opposed to Breach's B- that I gave him for that stealing off of Sully's flavor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, here's the bowl prediction. And again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you guys will think this is bold enough. I think it's pretty bold. Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence will combine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For 600 passing yards and 6 touchdowns. Now just a little background before you get angry, Breach. Justin Herbert of the course of the season threw for north of 300 yards 5 times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he threw at least three touchdowns. He's ever thrown more than three touchdowns this season. He did it on three occasions. Trevor did it on four times north of 300 yards and he, uh, had three touchdowns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Combined and by touchdowns run and throw. He did that five times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's happened this year, but this is the biggest game of the season for both players, uh, both teams. Uh, Justin's year three, Trevor's year, year two, neither has played, did Justin play, they didn't play, no, they didn't go to playoffs last year. So this is the first playoff game for both teams. So combined 600 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Combine six touchdowns. And look, Justin Herbert can play one play and get benched for Chase Daniel and Trevor Lawrence can do the heavy lifting and throw for five, you know, 599. Either way, 606.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teacher, I copied off his paper. I'll just take the B+. Don't worry about grade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is your bowl prediction or are you going to do another one? I wasn't clear on that. 400 each is my bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we'll grade that one in a second. Uh, I'll take it. Thank you. I wrote that down in ink. Sully, what do you think? I'll give you an A. That's great. Oh, Breech, it sucks to be you, man. Unless you're going to F me up, what are you going to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my gosh, I was, I was about to call you will actually ask her from the office, but since you said that, I won't, I won't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, uh, Britson, let's, let's grade yours. 400, so 800 total is what you're saying? 400 each. Yeah, I think the math works out where that's 800 total.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, you're right. Alright, so, well, look, I mean, again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reciprocity being what it is, I'll give you, I'll give you a B on that one. Alright, Breach, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, Breach, I will give you, I gave you a B for the last bowl prediction. I will give you a B plus. And also I would like to say that my bowl prediction for Devin Singletary in the Bills is that he rushes for 185 yards, so Breach can't steal that one. Uh, Brenton, what do you want to give Breach on this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just uh, just the official rule is you can't retroactively change, but I did give him an F and I added a minus to it, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you, and by the way, D and F don't average that great. So it's not, you're still going to get grounded, Breach. All right, Sully, what do you got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm talking to Sully. Uh, alright Breech, he gets an A from Brents and Sully does, what are you giving him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a trick question because they play in LA, which is sideways outdoors. They also play in an outdoor stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Breach, when you're driving down the street in that little car you picked me and Brinson up in it and the windows are down and it's raining. Are you indoors or outdoors? You are in the car. Getting wet. You are not outside. Because the window, there are no windows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, next game is, Miami and Buffalo, 1pm. Brayton, why don't you go first? So you can, uh, so you can't steal other people's papers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where is uh, to, I mean, where's Teddy B in his progress?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so legit, you're going with your boy, Glennon, throwing you a TD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm sure Breach will check quickly, but I'm not sure the last time Mike Linden was a starting quarterback and threw touchdowns in the game. So he just has a play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't misunderstand, I think the A-minus part is reality based in terms of Glenn and playing, but you also have to add in the part about the two touchdowns. Breach, did you want to add something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I, I, the thing, this happened to me last year as I go through this, I, I, I do a column of names and a column of names with the grades, and I forget which direction I'm going halfway through the grading process. I'm going up and down. Alright, so A minus, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll give it a, I'll give it a C. I mean, it's bold, but it ain't happening. If it has happened, then I'll have to get a Mike Clinton tattoo, of course. We know how that works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's another bald head on me. What's that gonna do? All right. Wilson, what you got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, this one's awesome. And if this doesn't elicit three A's or north of that, there's gonna be an A. We're already talking down your grave right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike Lennon throws eight interceptions. Uh, no, here's the great. Dawson Knox has more yards and touchdowns than Tyreek Hill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now listen to this, because I looked it up and it's quite amazing. Tyreek has played, uhm, the Bills five times. And in those five games,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's had north of 60 receiving yards just twice, never more than 69. Shout out to Gronk. And he's had 41, 20 and 33 receiving yard games. He's had exactly one touchdown in those five games, which is crazy. So he's averaging 45 yards a game and you know, two tenths of a touchdown if you want to do the math that way. Dawson Knox, meanwhile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the last game against, uh, Miami, early this season, back in mid December, he had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you have? Six catches for 98 yards and a touchdown. So previous to that, he's had basically Tyreek numbers. He hasn't been necessarily setting the world on fire against the Dolphins, but I do think that they're going to try to stop Steph Diggs and maybe Gabriel Davis doesn't have quite the game that he would like to have. So Dawson Knox is next up. So more receiving yards and touchdowns than Tyreek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I was gonna take the, I was gonna take the, the, uh, A minus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would be insane, but I couldn't believe how poorly Tyreek has played against Buffalo, historically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're such a tough grader. I'll take it. My prediction came true that I would get at least three A's. So there we go. I'm rolling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, Brynston's gone, I've gone, uh, Selly go this time so Breach can't snak you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so single digits for, for Miami. Yeah. Breach, it's the first time it's happened all season. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll give it a B. Cool. Brinson, Sully's bowl prediction that the Miami Dolphins don't score in double digits for the first time all year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Breach, I'm gonna give you, like I gave, uh, well I gave Silla B+, I'm gonna give you a B for copying, like I did with, I had to knock you for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breach, go f- oh no, you can go first in the Cincinnati game. So you can't complain about that. Brinson, why don't you go ahead and lead us off of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Giants Minnesota. Giants Minnesota.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did the giant sign him eight days ago or has he been there for two years? He's been there for two years. It's just checking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This sounds a lot like what I was talking about yesterday when you two numbnuts were bought in on Tom Brady and the Buccaneers and you're going to buy in on Russ Wilson. You're talking yourselves into kidney gala day. All right, Sully, what's, what's your grade on this monster?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to give him an A, because, uh, my bowl prediction is breechy and fashion will be quite similar to Sully's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sooo. Hit the eject button Bryson and come back. I'll, I'll leave it there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, alright, so, let's see. Brunson will be back in a second. Breach wanna- no, I'm gonna go Breach, because I think so, Brea- Brunson said his pick is similar to mine, so let me beat him to the punch for each battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, right. Yeah, sorry. Okay. So mine is very similar to Sully's and this is going to affect my grade. This is my fault for letting Sully go first. Daniel Jones puts up more yards and total touchdowns and fewer turnovers, big caveat there, than our boy Kirby Cutsons.

[Assistant] Lit man, I'll run out of this class with a B+.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Uh, shout out to Brian J in the comments. He's been with us all season, bless his heart, but he is a huge Vikings supporter and we have been giving the Vikings the business for the entirety of this off season. So I get a D minus from Brian J for being too predictable, presumably talking about the Vikings, uh, or in this case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Brent, someone need grades for my bowl prediction. Daniel Jones puts up more yards and total touchdowns and fewer turnovers than Kirby and Breach's bowl prediction. Kirby is sacked eight times. Eight? That's what I just said, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, how many snow angel dances? Three. Three. Okay. So Brits and what do you got grade wise?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A minus, alright. Alright, we'll do this and then you can circle back to my Daniel Jones prediction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'll take it. I won't ask any questions. Uh, Sully, what do you think of this 8-sack performance that we're about to witness?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's new. Uhm, I'll give it a B plus, Brent, uh, Breach. That's all I'm gonna say about it. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, we're on to Cincinnati.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is just wild card weekend bull predictions. Well, that's my bull prediction. Okay, Breach, you can grade that one first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gave a B plus from you. I gave him a B minus because he didn't follow the rules. Sure. Alright, you wanna go next, Breach? That's all you got. Oh, Sully, sorry. Go ahead. What do you got, Sully?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, again, not exactly following the, the tenor of the conversation, but, but more so than Brinson. I'll give that a B+. This is Lamar playing the game. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I don't think he does that. That's actually bold that he played. You should have still led with that part. I'll give it an A minus then if he plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are the odds Sully and or Brinson that Joe Burrell, forget the yardage, throws five touchdowns though? Like would you take...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not asking to change it, I just want to know for when I give them this F here if I can justify it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta give you a C. I mean, I appreciate what you're trying to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Counterpoint, that same Steelers defense lost to some goober named Mack Jones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, alright, here's my bold prediction, which isn't going to be bold now because it breaches


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ridiculously bold prediction in the previous game. Uh, I will just channel


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone mentioned this in the comments, so I want to give them a shout out because it's bolder than mine. Uhm, their bolder prediction, and this is, uh, Jake Dooley, Josh Dooley, excuse me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Burrow gets sacked 9 times, which is more than the prediction you had of 8 for Kirby. My bowl prediction was that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Raven sacked Joe Burrow six times. And I thought I was saying something. He obviously was sacked seven times in the opener against the Steelers. Um, that, that was, you know, hard to watch at times, of course. And I say that because no Lyle Collins, no Alex Kappa. So they're going to be starting, uh, Adona J and Sharpeen on the right side, which probably I would imagine is troubling to Breach and probably, um, Joe Burrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10 years ago against the Cowboys. And since then, since week...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since early November, he's not been sacked more than twice. So a lot has changed, but the injuries are concerned. Six sacks felt like a lot. It's not a record, obviously, because Breach thinks that's going to happen with our buddy Kirby Cousins. But uh, so six, that's where we're at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not how Jinx works. Jinx is like you say 10 and then he doesn't get sacked at all and throws for five touchdowns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, where, oh, there it is. So the final game, Monday night, by the way, worst news of the season for me is realizing there's a Monday night playoff game. I was like, Jesus, I thought we were done with midweek, uh, end week, uh, weekday games. Uh, Dallas?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My Dallas Cowboys at Brinson and Breach's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Monday night. Uh, who wants to go first?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let Breach go. Breach go first since this will be your, this will be your day Breach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree, I give it an A-. Like, I don't hate that one. And I do not like a lot of things about Breach. That actually is one of the things I do like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is your curvy cousins for me. You can't not continue to badmouth that poor man. Um, Britson, do you want to go? Do you want Sully to go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I literally just wrote down A+. Alright, before you said that. Breach, what do you want to give him for that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Princeton, did you catch Sully's bowl prediction? We thought you got angry and just left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got two, he got A plus and A and a D plus from Tom Brady's Biggest Fam. Okay. Fair enough. All right, Brenton, go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Kenny Pickett takes 25 snaps. I mean, don't forget, Breech said 450 and 5 for his dude, Joe Burrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, he added, he added that part slowly. Okay, uh, that, if you add 404, I'll change my, what do you want to say, Breech? You want to vote?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's recap. First it was four touchdowns that Tom throws. Then it's 400 yards plus the four touchdowns. No one heard. Edward, Patrick, Brady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Sully will need an addendum to his bowl prediction in that Mike McCarthy will play so poorly that Brandon Staley will get fired even if Brandon Staley wins. That's how, if they lose by 28 in Tampa, my, uh, Mark, what's his name? Mike McCarthy is walking home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he parties with Len Kiffin too and they have a good time in Tampa. Sully, what do you want to give this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but the 28 point winning by four touchdowns, that's where you lost me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That said, I did see the way the Cowboys played last week, so maybe that's actually the least bold of those predictions. Alright, here's mine. Again, I don't expect much. I think, Breech, the takeaway is you can't go last because you just end up no one impressed. Unless you make up some story like, uh, Britson just weep. Dak Prescott and Tom Brady. This might be bold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Combined for nine touchdowns, pass and run though. We know Tommy can sneak from the one yard line and fourth and one is his jam. Dak can run, you know, running from 10 yards or in. And then, um, I should also include pick sixes by Dak Prescott if you want to get crazy. Um, so nine touchdowns combined. So Brenton said four that Tommy's going to throw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means five have to come from somewhere else either with your legs or with the arm of Dak Prescott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, uhm, Brenton's wind difference gets you halfway to that. At 28. I mean, you're fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not from lack of trying, I'll tell you that much. Alright, now I gotta do the math real quick on these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breach, you gotta see on the first game combined. That's not good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my gosh. So, so Breach, uh, as I go through these grades, your Chargers, Jags, Bowl prediction, whatever it was, you got a B plus from me and, uh, B minus from Sully, B plus from me, F from Brenton. I don't remember what you said, but I don't think it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that didn't, that didn't come out in the wash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's uh, quickly before we go, 10 seconds each. I think I know Sully's already, but pick an upset. Sully, do you want to go with Dallas over Tampa? Yeah. I like that one. That's not an upset. Cowboys are favored by three. Sully would like to pick the Giants over the Vikings. Pick six podcasts. I will do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My pick six podcast upset is Chargers Rolled Jags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's an upset. You're an underdog, it's an upset. Pick six podcasts upset. The ones over Wilson is Tampa minus 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Wendover-Wilson system is broken if it's Tampa minus 10. Could be. Could be. Brinson? Then we'll get out of here. Boxer or Cowboys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up everybody? Welcome to the Pixix Podcast. CBS Sports Daily NFL Podcast. I'm Will Brinson. I'm your host.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Betting, trends, odds, look ahead lines, picks, all of it. Joining me as he powers through his own personal flu game. You're going on for like a week, Breach. Hello, it's Todd Breach, everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, breach, you know how, uh, the NFL is a $15 billion business and they can't like figure out how to spot footballs correctly. It's like Google is like a $40 billion business and they can't make Chrome not crash. Just cause like, I mean, come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really cool the NFL to have an 8-15 Christmas Eve game too. My god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patriots, Patriots are like 19% chance to make the playoffs and if they win that game, they are, they're like, what are they, uh, seven and eight and six and they're just right there with the chance. That is, it's a really, really tough loss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something exciting happened while we were talking? Who's to say? Uhm, just kidding. Something exciting happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this. And this is neither, this is really not about, like, I think I, I have a hard time taking the Patriots in this spot. Do you, especially given their, um, I believe they're.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven and two against their seven and three now against non playoff teams and just can't beat any good teams like own four or five. Bengals are a very good team. They're playing the best football right now. Joe Burrs not scared of anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At what point are we going to say, stop saying, and when I say we, I mean me. At what point are we going to stop saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Bill Belichick or it's Tom Brady. Cause I feel like, I feel like I've been burned a lot by this lately and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This feels like a spot where it's like Belichick getting three and a half at home against Zach Taylor. Like, I mean, this is a free, not a free square, but it's like, I'm going to be, I'm going to take the sharp side and take the Patriots. The Bengals are just a much better football team right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you look at the, the two other wins that you mentioned, so the Bengal, I mean, so the Steelers, excuse me, are two and eight in their other games. There are other two wins outside of the interstate South or week one, that really super weird, bizarre overtime game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chase McDaniels, what am I, Evan McPherson, who is Chase McDaniels? I called Dexter Lawrence, Dexter Williams earlier. This is, who knows what this recap pod is going to sound like. But Evan McPherson, the biggest kicker, was missing his holder in that game, right? What did he, didn't he like shank it, like he missed a bunch of kicks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And their other win, again, outside of the NFC South is against the Indianapolis Colts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe at that point in time, coach by Jeff Saturday, right? Sure. Yes. Coach by Jeff Saturday. So yeah, Steelers are not very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moving on, I agree with you, I think you cannot take the stealer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is the first one that matches up with one of my line moves that we'll talk about after the break. Uh, but we'll go ahead and mention this one now. Um, I don't see how this doesn't come down. I don't, I don't think it gets below seven because the chiefs are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A very good football team and they're playing great football and they have Travis Kelsey who looked pissed off on Sunday and Patrick Mahomes is right there in the MVP race and the defense is better than people think, but 10 points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] TK Metcalf Tyler lock. It's going to miss this game. He's out for the rest of the season more than likely, I believe with a broken finger. Cheetah Smith has had two bad games as we argued about on the Thursday night podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This CLX team has enough firepower and juice to stick with the Colts and stick with the Chiefs. Good lord. I'm, I'm, I can't say anything right tonight. Um, and we'll, we'll keep it, I think within the 10, I think this line comes down. It's almost like nervous, like nerve wracking that it's like, you're like 10?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bizarre line, except for maybe one of the ones that we'll get to in a minute. You got one more best bet. What you got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Arizona, uh, not playing exceptional football at the moment down to, you know, clearly you got Copa Coyhart, Kyler Murray's out for the year. Uh, Trace Rick certainly evolved. And I think one of the other things too, is that, um, Cliff Kingsbury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, and we'll talk about this more in the recap and we'll also talk about why the Buccaneers did look actually pretty decent on, on Sunday. Uhm, I'm sure Wilson will yell at me like, why don't you think about your Buccaneers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cardinals are checked out, but Cliff Kingsbury feels like his job might be safe now because of the way that things have unfolded with that organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even, unless they lose out, obviously anything's on the table, but Tampa Bay playing, fighting for the playoff lives. It's eight 20 PM Christmas night. Tom Brady is going to come in angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, I'm with you, I think he lights him up and I like Brady in this spot. Like a Christmas tree? Like a Christmas tree. Yes. Like a wreath with lights on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's right. Well, yeah, will you be okay? You know, we talk about this later. Let's take a break. We come back. We'll talk about some more lines that might move between now and kickoff next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Browns minus three is one that I, I already mentioned Seahawks, uh, plus 10, I think moves down. I just, I don't think it gets past seven or anything like that. Like that would be a crazy move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if this line starts ticking up or it's like chiefs minus 12, I'd be absolutely panic stricken. I think it comes down a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to feel like happy about backing to Sean Watson. And if you want to fade him, by all means do it. I think this line takes up there because the Saints just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, it's just kind of running out of steam, it feels like. I know they want to get the Falcons, but they just, they don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't have a lot going for them in terms of that offense and a little banged up. I think Cleveland gets the job done here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like I'm not even like, I don't even like feel, I feel great. This is not your game. Right. Uh, next up, I think I've been to the Seahawks. I think the Cowboys might just one and a half against the Eagles Christmas Eve, four 25 Eastern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jerry Jones, huge game for them. We mentioned it. It did feel like the Cowboys might be looking ahead with the Jaguars. Micah Parsons talked incessantly about it. Uhm, I think this line ends up with the Eagles being favored. I think that's how much it moves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also included the dolphins in Miami.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dolphins away from the cold weather. I actually thought they, uh, you know, quit it themselves pretty well against Buffalo in what was a fun, insane game on Saturday night. It feels like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have so much to talk about like in regards to Saturday and Sunday, fun two days of NFL football. Um, minus four and a half against the Packers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Packers are playing on Monday night, how they do against the Rams. And this is sort of more of a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Aaron Rogers looks awful and they're just like, we're going to Jordan love. Then you could see this line tick up, I think because the dolphins will be in hot pursuit of a playoff spot. Packers don't have a lot to play for. If they win, they're still in the hunt, but I think this line could move up a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, this is a sort of a Monday night situation where the Rams are playing the Packers. If the Rams were to come out and beat the Packers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're a pick-up against the Broncos. Do we know if Russell Wilson is going to play? Of course not. Uh, do we?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we think that the Broncos might be looking around going, oh, goodness gracious, we scored like almost as many points as any game in Russell that Russell's played with Brett Riven this week. Oh crap. What is this contract? Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think though that the Rams, a good performance by the Rams, a try hard performance with all their stars down, ticks this line in the favor of the Rams. A pick up is a pretty good look this early in the week, I think. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Russell Wilson, and so like, this is the first year we've talked about, this is the first year that the, uh, associate press has expanded the ballots for the awards. Pete Prisco and the rest of his, uh, cognizante, to quote the great Dave Hansus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll have five names they can list for possible MVP votes, right? In order of your one, two, three, four, five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Line that I think could move Colts plus three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against the Chargers, I think that could tick down a little bit and it's not so much a Colts thing as it is a Chargers thing. Maybe it's both. I mean, I just think Chargers on the road, Monday night football, India will be rocking. Maybe I just, I think, I think it's, I would lean towards the Chargers in this game, but I do think it comes down a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, that'll do it for us. Early week 16, betting trends, odds, picks. We'll be back after Sunday football for the recap show. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening from Reach Out Britson. See you guys later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, uhm, I don't think that they will. I kinda think that they'll let James Bradbury walk. Me and Sully talked about that earlier this week, how I just feel like, you know, he made it clear that he wants to get paid and I don't see Howie Woseman giving him the money that he's asking for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a guy like Javon Hargraves or a guy like CJ Gardner Johnson will get the tag. If you look at Javon Hargraves, you might.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wanna tag him actually instead of CJ Gardner Johnson, you know, reports are that CJ Gardner Johnson will get the tag, but you know, he played at a high level this year and you look at the top tier defensive tackles, they're all making 25, $30 million a year. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're trying to save some money on the back end and maybe keep more of the guys that got you to the Super Bowl this year, you may want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You try and, you know, fork over a deal with CJ Gardner Johnson, who's a safety. You can probably get him for around like 13, $14 million a year over a long-term contract. And you can push that money off to later years. So you have more money to play with this off season to rebuild your roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if you look at the Eagles organization as a whole, offensive and defensive line is where their main focus is over the last 15 to 20 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you know, you can go get guys in free agency to, you know, fill certain holes, but you're, you gotta remember, you're gonna lose Fletcher Cox this year. Like he's not, he's, he's, he's not gonna play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we brought him back, we actually released him last year and then brought him back later on in the season for a one year deal. So you're going to lose a guy like that. You don't know what's going to happen with Brandon Graham. And so, I mean, I just feel as though, like, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Financially, it may be a better move to go Javon Harvey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up everybody? Welcome to the Pixix Podcast, CBS Sports Daily NFL Podcast. I'm Will Brinson. I'm your host. What a freaking game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We look like we're gonna have a serious dud of a wild card, super wild card weekend Saturday to kick things off. And we got a 27 point comeback by the job by my Jacksonville Jaguars against Brandon Staley, Justin Herbert and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Los Angeles Chargers, who apparently got a pregame speech from Philip Rivers before this game. We can talk about that part later. Joining me to break down the first of two games. First two games of wild card weekend. Brian Wilson and John breach. What's up, fellas?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've, I've got, I'm a pretty experienced chargers, uh, backer, right? I've, I've picked the chargers. You were on the bandwagon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've ridden that bandwagon off a cliff a bunch. Uhm, as I mentioned, Phillip Rivers did the, uh, did the, uh, apparently did the pregame speech. I don't really think that matters, but like, it, to me it felt like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know Wilson, I think you had a point. I said inside, I said, and I tweeted this out too. It was like at 27, nothing in that first half. It felt like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had started the red zone three times in the first half thanks to turnovers from Trevor Lawrence, uh, and the, and the Jaguars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got a two touchdowns in a field goal. I'm not, I'm not knocking with the chargers did. It just felt like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With about three minutes left and 27, nothing like everything had gone against the Jaguars in that first half. The Chargers had gotten like every possible break. You know, they're picking up flags for DPI. Uh, you know, balls are popping up in the air off, off, off like, you know, off, off hands of defensive lineman's hands and they're being picked off by the Chargers, picking them off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was it? Um, uh, Antoine Woodfield Jr. had three picks in the first half. Trevor Lawrence had never thrown a pick in the first quarter and he threw four. Santi Samuel. Santi Samuel Jr. Sorry. Yeah. Love both of them. Um, and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, even like a punt hits a Jaguars player on the head and land and it goes to the charters. Like everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, but then it was like, okay, the Jaguars could get something before half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get a touchdown 27, seven Doug Pearson, by the way, passing, taking a kick and field goal there and went for the touchdown. They get it. It's 27, seven when they go to half and it felt like charters getting the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I've been there and I knew, I knew how I would feel if we were up 27 nothing and suddenly it was like 12 minutes left in the third quarter. It is 27 14. You're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Destroyed this team and we're left less than two touchdowns and sure enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, the Chargers completely. I mean, they just, it's just, it's hard to win when you're up that many points because you're trying to be conservative. You're trying to milk clock. You try not to do anything too crazy and the Jaguars are playing with nothing to lose. We've seen it all year in the NFL. They relaxed the rules to the point where teams could easily come back. Wilson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I was, uh, I've gotta, George the dog is loosened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I had to run out of there. But uhm, the, if you said a breach, I apologize. It wasn't because I wasn't listening. I was watching this psychotic talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Staley's made this, it's weird. Like I feel, I feel bad for the guy because he made this, you know, he, he wanted to be aggressive with the fourth downs and he really was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it feels like somebody came like ownership or management or somebody came to us like, look, dude, it's just too much. And he sort of got in his own head about it. When Doug Peterson, Doug Peterson declined that penalty, the holding penalty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, oh my God, if I'm Brandon Staley, I'm going for it. I'm trying to go up 17 points and the game is over. And instead he kicked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, yada, yada, yada. I, I think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, you know, that NFL stage after that week 18 game against the, um, you know, against the Titans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And some of that's on Doug Petersen, I think, you know, that's, that's coaching to a degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mean, I think I pointed out in the chat, it's like, that's maybe we need to hammer this over in the second half. And sure enough, there were a bunch of points scored in the second half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, uhm, what percentage chance does Brady ceiling get fired?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sean Payton has aggressively, you know, flirted with the Cardinals and flirted with the Broncos, but you know, he knows what he's doing. He's, you mentioned, you know, maybe I'll go back to coaching. Maybe I'll go to broadcast. Like he's, he's trying to make himself value, like, you know, that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number one, I want to point out Pete. Pete Priscoe just texted and said that Brandon Staley's press conference is a guy who knows what's coming. Apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll say 75. Let me ask you this. I'm going to run through some coaches real quick and uhm, you stop me when we get to somebody you, I mean, okay, Bill Belichick or Sean Payton starting like next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, three straight years of seven and nine for the two thousand and uh, seventeen draft when they got all those guys, Kamara, Ramchak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that changed everything. And Jeff Ireland was a big hit. Jeff Ireland came in before that draft. I believe big part of that draft. So the two things for me with Sean Payton and the Los Angeles Chargers are one,

[Assistant] Will he come off the reported price of $20 million per year that he wants? Because I don't think the Chargers will fire Brandon Staley and pay him and also pay Sean Payton $20 million a year. That's just too much. You're also firing Tom Telesco, who's got a lengthy contract potentially. Um, and then I think Telesco is the other factor is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Sean Payton comes, will he be willing to work with Tom Telesco who is very much liked by the Spaders family or will they decide to just part ways and say, Sean, do what you want. Now, I mean, I tend to think that as aggressive as it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if I get a, if I'm, if I'm the Chargers and I get a chance to pair Sean Payton with Justin Herbert, I'm doing what I need to do to make it happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Justin Herbert has been incredible three years into his career in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he has not been fully unlocked by a guy in an offensive mind like a Sean Payton who could really do some special stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he gets a hold of, I mean, Sean Payne and Herbert would smash, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's also add to the Brandon Staley thing, like the Mike Williams week 18 stuff is not going to help his case either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just didn't need to play as starters. Mike Williams get hurt, can't play tonight. If Mike Williams plays tonight, the Chargers probably win the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying like, it's like the back to back weeks, you lose your number two wide receiver who just got a huge contract in the off season straight into blowing a 27 point lead in a road wild card game where you were gifted. No, it's not great. It's not, it's not a great run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it also too, like, let's not forget, and look, they didn't have, they didn't have the totality of their weapons for much of the season. But when you, you know, if you're saying, and I don't disagree with Wilson, like Joe Lombardi didn't do a great job calling plays, especially when they didn't have microwaves because they just check it down most of the time. But the argument you're making is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coaching is the problem for Justin Herbert, which is to me an immediate, if you can get Sean Bain, then you go for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, man. I mean, look, that's totally possible in that division. If you give, to me, if you give Sean Baton, you know, Rashawn Slater at left tackle, Justin Herbert, Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, Jared Everett, really good run there. Austin Eckler, like that team is going to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the defense has enough pieces where it's not going to be those early Saints teams that couldn't stop anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I can sorta go back to your point about the Cardinals, where it's like, just rip the Band-Aid and just get the best possible option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Frank Grax has been the hostie with the Chargers before. A lot of missed calls in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we think that the missed calls, I feel like the refs did a pretty terrible job in general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeah, Frank Wright was the OC for the Chargers. He was a quarterback coach from 14 to, excuse me, quarterback coach in 13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then became the OCE from 14 to 15 and then jumped to the Eagles to join his buddy Doug Peterson in 2016 birthday, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know I do this too much, and I apologize in advance for it. But since you mentioned it, if I may. Okay, remember last year in the Raiders and Bengals game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And couldn't tell me stepped out or not or whether it was like a catch or something. Like I can't remember the exact details, but like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, call has been ruled incomplete. Everybody's like, wait, what, what do you mean further discussion? You didn't talk to anybody. And then, uh, Mike Tariqa, of course, that's the new expedited replay that no one knows about that the NFL is now using. And so later that game, Zach Taylor was like, didn't know if he should challenge something or not. Cause he's waiting on the replay to come in. Like Doug Peterson didn't challenge a clear incompletion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the NFL is going to do this and like the one thing we've seen is that when they use the expedited replay, it's almost only used on island games or in primetime games. This is a primetime playoff game. If you're going to use it, this is the type to use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's that for the woman. Al Michael's like, well, uh, you know, you got to decide here and it's like Doug Peterson's already calling the play. Like, like no hesitation whatsoever to be gutsy in the big spots. That's what you love about Doug Peterson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Largest blown lead in playoff, in chargers, not playoff, in chargers. It's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's take anything else on Chargers Jaguars. I mean, I should point out really quickly that the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the Dolphins were to beat the Bills, the Dolphins would go play the Chiefs no matter what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. So if the chalk holds Jacksonville's headed to Kansas City, what do we think that line will? And I mean, look, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't want to rush, we don't want to jump to conclusions because by the time some people listen to this podcast, the games may have already happened, but uhm, both Cincinnati and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buffalo are pretty big favorites. Would be, would be pretty massive upsets if they lost. What do we think the line will be Jacksonville or Kansas City?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you don't want to read too much into the narrative of it, but I mean, there is something like this is sort of a slingshot style win where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody's talking, wow, this would be, it'd be a huge upset if the Seahawks took down the 49ers. Niners are the favorite to get to the super bowl before the playoffs began. And then the domination began.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, sort of, you know, not similar to the Jaguars game, but like, you know, surprising first half and then it just an onslaught in the second half. The Niners scored, I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seahawks got a garbage time touchdown from Gino Smith to DK Metcalfe late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't want to get hurt in that spot, the game was over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a such an impressive second half from the 49ers brought pretty settled down. He had a fantastic game overall. When you look at it, he's really shaky early on that to be expected. Um, if you guys had to pick one weapon,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offensive? Defensive? What do you want to do? One weapon for the 49ers vast array of toys. To, uh, to paraphrase, or to quote, uh, Jack Nicholson in the, in the original, the best Batman. Where did he get these wonderful toys? Like, the diamond is calcium and it's basically Batman with all these toys. Uh, what, what Wilson, what would you, what would you be number one choice? You have first choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I was going to be mad that you took McCaffrey, but I don't even care. I'll take George Kittle. Like those three guys are three like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFL is like a, you know, all NFL players are really free Catholics. I mean, you just have to be to get to this level, but dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so perfect for Kyle Shanahan's offense, and they're all on the same roster. It's crazy. It's why even with Brock Perry, they were the favorite to get out of the NFC. The second half of this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, look, do you, do you, okay, I guess I should ask, do you, does the first half were you at all, Wilson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or do you think that it was more like settling in for a rookie quarterback and now all of a sudden you have this like this is the second half is the Niners team that is going to be really, really dangerous for the rest of the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say he doesn't win a Super Bowl. I think that's key too. Like, cause you can't replace the guy who wins the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, then you're, then you're, then you're having conversations about what, can we do anything with Trey Lance? Will anybody actually give us anything for him? And I think you have a competition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where it's like, you know, I'm fine if you say Brock's a starter. He's earned it right. That's I wouldn't have a problem with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a couple of things here. Just, I saw some stuff in the comments. Uh, Felix asks, shanahan coach of the year. If I were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on my straw poll of, of voters, I think that Shanahan would probably, if you can find, if you can find it out there in the market, I don't know if the coaching markets are out there. Um, that would be a really good bet. Um, I don't know that he got, I don't, I don't want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, he's, he's got, he's on some list for sure. And I think he would, I think he'll probably end up winning. Uh, Nathan points out Doug PC get consider just for winning this game. Not a crazy suggestion, but the votes are all in before, uh, the playoffs begin. And so a couple of people mentioned Brandon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was not a knock on Brandon. Are you to not mention him with those three weapons? Only three of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's only three of us. He's a, he's a legitimate number one wide receiver in another offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but he's also not like, he's not a freak or he's not a unicorn. You know, I mean, he, you know, he's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a Justin Jefferson's draft class. I mean, you know, he's, he's not even the best one. He was draft class where it's like CMC, Devo and George Kittle are just very, very different animals and really make that offense her, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just the Kyle Shanahan system. I mean, even the early throws where he missed a couple of them, like dudes were running wide open. That's just how the 49ers offense works under Kyle Shanahan. He has great weapons and they, his system and his play design gets them open. And it's really more about, it's not such a, it's not like everybody's a system quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you have to be a certain type of, a certain type of, you have to have a certain type of mindset and a certain ability to, uh, make quick decisions and make good decisions quickly to operate in calisthenics and offer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, do I just keep up the tree? Let's see if we get out of here in 40 minutes because.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Versus expectations. It's hard not to call the Seahawks season a, a, a stunning success given that the Broncos are handing them the number, uh, five pick, I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wilson, his latest mock draft had him taking a defensive lineman out of Clemson. Uh, do you think, were there holes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Eugene Cyril Smith III, great season. I mean, like, this is a great season for the Seahawks. It took all the pressure off Pete Carroll, John Snyder, and sort of let them, you know, reinvigorated them too, especially with Russell Wilson sucking over Denver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it's like, look, this is just simply the going rate for quarterbacks. It will be eclipsed immediately. And if you start to look at the quarterback salaries, then you have Matthew, or Dak Prescott, excuse me, is the lowest at $40 million of the 40 club. And then you have down to Kirk Cousins at 35, Jergoff at 33 and a half. That's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's, that's just the going rate for quarterbacks. The guarantees won't be insane. It'll look splashy and be all that, but it'll really probably be like a three year deal with minimal guarantees that the Seahawks can get out of sort of like a Derek Carr deal. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't mind. I take it back. I think that's fine. You give Gino 35. He was great for you this season. Got you to the playoffs. There you go. And you can potentially use one of your first round draft picks if you like a guy. Only if you like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You did the, uh, you did the schedule. What are the possible matchups for the 49ers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breach, I am doing great, even though my Steelers lost. That didn't lose. They didn't make the playoffs. They did win a huge game against the Terrell Browns team, but I am extremely excited because you're looking at what has two thumbs in one, the CBS experts against the spread for two years in a row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rich, who is the biggest Jared Goff homer on this podcast? I've been talking up Jared Goff for months now. I love my man, Jared Goff. And here, here's the sort of a fun story. There are a lot of fun stories from, from week 18, but one of the fun stories for me is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Retread Jared Goff saves the season, not only for the Lions because they finished on eight, but for also Eugene Cyril Smith, the third, by beating the Packers that allows Gino Smith to get into the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you go back to August, we all thought that none of those guys would be quarterbacks, uh, at this point in the season, Jerry Goff and Geno Smith. So shout out to both of them for the way they finished. And I think you're right, Breech. It's not an exaggeration to say that Jerry Goff outplayed Aaron Rodgers on Sunday night and he outplayed him for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Large chunks of this season where these teams met in week nine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you guys know, without looking, what the Lions record was? And they swept at the Packers, so you'll get a hint. They won a game in week 9. But what was the record in week 9?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's fine. I was just watching you argue with yourself, which I sort of enjoyed. Yeah, so they were one and six and they finished nine and eight. And the Packers had that rough stretch in the middle of the season, then they got hot towards the end there. But it wasn't necessarily because Aaron Rodgers was lighting people up. It's because the defense was playing well and it's because the running game got working. And, um, here on Sunday night, after the first half,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was quite interesting that I thought that the, the Packers blew some opportunities. Now the Lions came down and missed the kick. Mason Crossley was one of the best players on the team for the Packers, which is also interesting, but then Aaron Jones fumbled. So it took what could have been a six or 10 point swing and just left it at nine, nine to six at halftime, I think is what it was. And then Jerrick off got used to cold weather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the second half was a different story. And then as you mentioned Breach, Aaron Rodgers threw two interceptions, only one counted, both went to Kirby Joseph, who becomes the first person in human history to intercept Aaron Rodgers three times in one regular season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let me ask you this, Brent, so quickly, uh, just a 10 second answer, a breach you can follow if you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is the favorite to win the NFC North next year? Just 10 seconds, we'll move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I should say, I've said all along that I don't know if Dan Campbell could coach, but I'd run through a wall for him. To your point, Preston, my man can coach. And he, some of the plays that he okayed, I don't know if he called them, but the ones that he okayed, like the, uh, the one late in the game, sort of the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lovey Smith had said, no, I get it. Lovey Smith had said during his game that they were, they had nothing to lose. Basically admitting that we play differently when the point, when the games doesn't matter. I feel like Dan Campbell would, Dan Campbell is who he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, he's, uh, he faked left breach. There he is. But let me ask this about Cory Walker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was just a weird thing. And what's weirder is that this is the second time this season, I think he's the first person also in human history to get kicked out of two games for things, for those sorts of penalties that can get you kicked out of games for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, I mentioned a moment ago, it is crazy that Jared Goff and Geno Smith are two of the biggest talking points in week 18. And if I had asked you that in August, you would have said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, one pushed a trainer and the other one actually was a trainer at this point in the season. And it turns out one helped the other get to the playoffs and Gino helped the Seahawks in a big way get to the playoffs too. But uhm, yeaah, it's wild man. And I think we can't take that a ton of fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fun things happen. Steelers didn't make the tournament, but that's okay. A lot of things happened otherwise that we'll get to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought, even though the Lions, quote unquote, had nothing to play for, and this was the final game of the regular season, I love the fact that it was, uh, as Brentson likes to call it, an island game because we got to see, uh, Dan Campbell, who would anyone argue that Dan Campbell did not out coach Matt LaFleur tonight?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I think it should be a serious conversation for coach of the year. I mean, he probably won't get it, but he should get some votes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did, I didn't see it Breach, what did the Joe, what did the uh, Joe Burrow coin toss celebration look like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Breach, were you at any point thinking, please get the starters out? Because there are a couple teams that we'll talk about that didn't have that conversation until late in the process and they were beating the crap out of the Ravens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, T Higgins got the win. That wasn't a dirty hit, but he came back and dropped a touchdown pass, which he probably, his stomach hurts. Um, but yeah, I was wondering that myself because, um, you know, Joe Burrow is, the window is open while he's upright, but you didn't want him, you know, not to be upright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the first one they lost to the Steelers because Joe Burrow weighed 185 pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't save it. Just save the save the Princeton postage and just we'll save it for later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why you mean? I thoroughly enjoyed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you can just say that since people are listening to the audio podcast, but yeah, it was a fantastic moment. It was even better when he did it again. And you know, sadly for me, Mack Jones had one of the best games of the season and it did not matter because the Bills are a really good football team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I do wonder, Breach, is that the bigger bills take away, and again, they're one of the best teams in the NFL, are you at all concerned, uh, again, uh, about the sort of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Allen turnovers, especially in the red zone. And we saw that again, it didn't matter on Sunday against an overmatched Patriots team, but it could matter once you get to the playoffs where every team conceivably should be pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but my question of reach was are you at all concerned about the turnovers from Josh Allen because he's had 19 interceptions this season, eight times the bills have turned the ball, the bills have turned the ball over inside the red zone and Allen has five red zone interceptions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing? Yeah, I mean, I mean, it's not great. Okay. That's why, that's why I'm just asking about how does that manifest itself once, uh, we get to play a football because play a football starts in a few days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one more thing before we move on, more concerned about the Bills run defense because they got shredded or the red zone turnovers on the offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought you were going to finish with Mike McDonnell. Mike McDonnell, keep calling Mike McDonnell. Mike McDaniel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Following into the playoffs. I thought he earned it. They, they won that football game. It wasn't a fun game to watch. I'll watch every snap of it in part because it was on locally, but also I wanted to see how it affected the Steelers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's what I learned, uh, Breach. You can't put all your eggs in the Joe Flacco basket if you need Flacco to win you a football game for your, for your team, which isn't quarterbacked by Joe Flacco to, to make their way into the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that's right. And credit to Mike McDaniel for actually leaning on the running game because he was forced to. We've seen, uh, in recent history where they've been airing the ball out because of, of Jalen and Hayarik. Hayarik had an ankle injury and he, he was on and off throughout the game. Um, so, you know, you have Raheem Mostert, let Raheem Mostert do his thing. And we saw glimpses of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And look, Skyler Thompson ain't the answer, but to your point, Breach, I thought he did as well as, as you could have hoped for someone not named Brock Purdy to go in there and ball out. So he was 20-31, only 152, didn't throw an interception.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and the running game led by, uh, Mostert and Wilson, who in my mind are basically the same person, which is funny because one rush for 72, one rush for 71, uh, do their thing. And again, Flacco is, the offensive line was banged up for New York and the defense was, you know, a bit, and then eventually broke. I mean, it was six to 11 for Christ's sake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but again, not a fun game to watch, even though I, I fork myself to do it for, for strictly selfish reasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Breach, tell me what you think about this. I thought this was an important game for Jalen Hurts to get back out there to knock the rust off, because they're gonna have this week off now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's important. And he didn't need to go out there and throw for 500 yards, uh, hit an interception, didn't throw a touchdown, didn't run, which was smart. You don't want him running. Uh, and you let the starters play and they had to play longer than perhaps they wanted to. And everything, you checked every box, everything's fine. And you won the game, get them one pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bigger story for me was the difference between this Giants team and 2022 as opposed to 2021 pre-Brown Day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing, and we'll talk about this in a little bit, but you watched this game, this Giants game, and again, I don't even put this on the Eagles so much. I put it on Brian Dable getting the most out of the second and third teamers, including Davis Webb, who I didn't even know was still in the league. And then you look at what the Cowboys did with their starters out there, just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, stinking that place up against Sam Howe, who last played for UNC, uh, I would be very concerned if I was Jerry Jones. I'd be very excited if I were the Mars and the Tish's, uh, the Giants owners because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the toughest thing to do is get a franchise quarterback. Maybe the second toughest thing and maybe it's close. Maybe there's a gap between these two, but get it, get the right GM and right coach in there. And I mean, Brian Dable feels like an absolute grand slam in the ninth inning of the world, game seven of the world series. He has been an absolute game changer. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was fun to watch in part because I, what was the spread? 14 and a half at one point? Cause I, I, that this was part of my, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead and pat yourself on the back. Go ahead. My run to first place. I need the Giants to come back. I didn't want them to win because I wanted the Eagles to get the number one seed. So that was fun to watch, uh, for strictly, um, non-playout purposes. But, um, oh, and by the way, not to call people out, but Reed Blankenship, you might not want to check social media after you got steamrolled by my man Davis Web with a touchdown run. Haha! Hey-o!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you said it was the dable fear of God. He said, look man, cause the one time he came off the field after a mistake and he looked scared after dable gave him the glare after they gave him a little side eye. And I think that, that, that set him straight. But, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not worried about the Eagles here. I don't know if you are, Breach, and I'm very encouraged. Sort of like the Lions, uh, about the Giants' future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I didn't think it was possible. Uh, I'll be honest with you. It was absolutely, there were three and seven, I think at one point and they were playing some truly God awful football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm fine that they didn't go to the playoffs. I mean, it would have, the same thing happened last year when they, when they back toward the way in the playoffs, had to go to Kansas City and get the doors blown off or whatever. I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't need to say through that, but it was a good end to the season. They, they won, uh, against a terrible Browns team who've set themselves back, uh, what feels like decades, even by Brown standards with what they've done to, to get to their quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, there's hope for Kenny Pickett. That was fun. George Pickett's awesome. Um, hopefully they'll fix the, uh, the office coordinator situation and somehow some way breach Tomlin finished nine and eight, which is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the list of improbable things that happened this year actually isn't that high on the list because a lot of crazy things have happened, including the Lions game we just talked about, but it's pretty crazy given where this team was, you know, a month and a half ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also worth noting to, to call Brinson out, he was huge on the Chase Claypool deal. The Steelers now have the number 32nd pick. Basically two first rounders. Thank you, Brinson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad I could make your social media dreams come true as a middle-aged man who's on Instagram.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they weren't going forward because the trade deadline is in November.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lost, they lost like four games after giving up a double-digit lead. You're not getting coached here for that. That would be outrageous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete Carroll is a great one. Pete Carroll would be even better if Russ Wilson had to present it to him at the honors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, a win's a win. A win is a win. Congratulations on your new podcast called Numero Dos. Can't be worse than with the first pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you would have to imagine that he had this conversation with Tom Telesco, the GM and presumably the owner. So while you may disagree with it and I disagree with it, I don't think he was out there as a loose cannon just doing whatever he wanted to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Several players on the Chargers agree with Staley's decision to start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't disagree, I don't agree with it. I'm just telling you what he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, absolutely. I was watching that game, that steaming pile of a football game and thinking exactly what you're talking about. I've been, uh, dookie talking Tom Brady for, for weeks, even months now. And then Mike McCarthy goes out there, turns his Jason Garrett headset off.

[Assistant] You can yell and scream about Brayden and Staley, and rightly so, but at least the Chargers competed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what the Cowboys are doing out there. Like the Cowboys were not playing. They got absolutely embarrassed by Sam Howell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that crew, I would have much bigger concerns if I'm Jerry Jones. I'm sure Jerry Jones is, is, you know, racking his brain about what, what his coaching plans are going to be. If the, uh, cowboys go two for two in terms of going one and done in the playoffs, because the way it ended last season, what was, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Embarrassing to say the least in this game right here in week 18 was, was equally as embarrassing. And if things go sideways, uh, against old Tommy Brady in, in Tampa, uh, Lord help my carpet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice. Four and five. What a time to be alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My two favorite- Fingers won that game by three touchdowns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jaguar's Chargers is actually a really good game. I mean, uhm, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not necessarily if Lamar comes back and then the Bengals, all the stuff swirling around the Bengals with the coin flip and all that. And then if Tua comes back or Teddy B has to play. Yeah. I mean, it's not Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning every week, uh, in every matchup, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's a compelling storyline for all these games. Yeah. I'm, you know, I was going one to 10. I'll give it a seven and a half or an eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let me ask you this. Who starts for the Dolphins? Mike Glennon. Who starts for the Dolphins, Breach?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teddy. I think it's Teddy. Alright, Teddy starts. So here's the wins over Wilson line. Bills minus five. Who you taking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, who's starting for the Ravens? I think Lamar plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, bingles minus, I'll say minus four and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Winsover Wilson doesn't take into account fandom. So, uh, I love the Chargers in that game. So we'll, we'll see what happens, but they're all close. I think Bryson, you're right. The bill spread should be larger depending on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's funny before we move on? A year ago, and you know, going back to Brinson's hatred of my guy, Brandon Staley, if they tied that game, the Chargers go. Uh, they don't tie the game. Derrick Carr has a chance to beat the Bengals in Cincinnati in that first round. And Derrick Carr has not played in two weeks because he got benched for Jared Stidham. Here we are. Crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I got the Chargers winning. Uh, but the Bengals and, and, and Bills are definitely going through. Not definitely going through. I feel like they're, they have a very, very good chance to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they, they very well could, especially if Teddy's still banged up to a, I think probably doesn't play, just speculating here. And if you go with Skylar Thompson, you're going to lose by 50 points. No disrespect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, quickly, uhm, our guy Stephen Oh just sent out these simulations. So, what do you think the Jaguars chances are percentage-wise to beat the Chargers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 57. Breach wins. Uh, Brenton wins, excuse me. Buffalo. What? Then they're wrong if Brenton wins. Buffalo's chances against the Dolphins. Now we don't know anything in terms of quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't hate it. I'm sure Breach is worried about Anthony Brown throwing for 5,000 yards, but that makes one of us on this podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One first round pick out of these six teams. And that one first round pick is Daniel Jones. You have a six round pick, two fourth round picks, Mr. Irrelevant and Gina who went in round two and he was so angry. He didn't go around one. He left radio studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So alright, quickly, here we go. Uh, Winsor and Wilson for 49er Seahawks. Uh, I'm gonna make that minus nine and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's ten, it's ten. You're right. I'm not, this is just me, I'm not looking, I'm just, this is my gut feeling. Good call, good call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've always been really good at guessing lines, I don't know how to, gambling is strictly luck, but I sort of have a knack for lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But nine and a half, I'm picking the 49ers and you know, we know the talking points, Kyle Shanahan, Office of Playmakers, defense, and then Brock Purdy in that order. Although Brock Purdy has been really good. Any rebuttal, pushback on that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Breach, I'll ask you this. If you had to set up a scenario where you're going to be starting a rookie quarterback, can you think of a better situation than the one that Brock Purdy currently finds himself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking about that during the Sunday night game and I, I'm not, that's not even a heartache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that the problem with those Seahawks isn't Geno Smith or Tyler Lockett or Ken Walker or DK Metcalf, it's the defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, I, I was like, okay, I don't know. I was poo poo in the CMAC thing. That, that's the right trade, especially when Debo went down. Debo came back on Sunday, so that's great. Uhm, and it says a whole lot to Breach's point that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brock Purdy is like the fourth or fifth thing you mentioned about this team. Cause you're talking about Kyle Shanahan, you're talking about all the offensive weapons, you're talking about the defense. And if they score 20 points, they're winning this football game, I feel like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my God, I'm thinking about the Colts game last year in the monsoon bowl where Carson Wentz actually won that football game against the 49ers. That's how long ago it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the, the follow up to that is hope, if that's what you're hoping for, if you're the Seahawks, hope it isn't a plan. So you better have something else to make that up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think, you know, if you put Gino on the 49ers and put Brock Purdy on the Seahawks, this game is minus 15 and a half. Maybe more. So the point is that this isn't about Gino and Brock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. So Vikings giants, the ones over Wilson stinks. I'm doing, if you've not seen the lights, no, I'm doing minus two and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have yet to, well, that's not true. I wish they were more consistent about putting together 60 minutes of football. Usually they do like 48.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes it's 36, sometimes it's 54, sometimes 30, sometimes 30. But again, then you have games like that Bill's game where they fumbled at the one inch line and that was just bonkers crazy and those things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I thought you meant the giants were lucky. I thought, I think the giants are not lucky. I think they've actually, they're who we thought they are.
