[Assistant] It's easier because I can, I can just do MetLife Stadium and actually look at the weather there. I think it's supposed to be like, it's just supposed to be like a ton of wind on Sunday and you know, just something that like is going to create a problem for two quarterbacks who like, you know, look love. I love, I love Sam Howell. We talked about our love for him on this game or the show a bunch, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Daniel Jones, same hell, not afraid to turn it over. Yeah. Wind, uh, 20 mile per hour, 50 degrees going to be, I mean, just like, this is just going to be a case where like, you could see some balls floating in the air here, right? RG. I wouldn't, I wouldn't be shocked if like this total went over, but like based on defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, he, like, they, well, just because like he's dealing with like these lower body injuries and it's like, like, they're like, dude, you got, you got Kwanzilla going, like, just like lose some, like shed some weight up top. It's going to be a little bit lighter. Like he's gonna make you come back quicker. And he was, he was, I'm not saying he was thinner, but he wasn't big before. He's just like, he wasn't as like bulky and like strong. He looked like a different player. I thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I like that. Um, having said that I'm on the box is the best bet. Uh, but, but it's not like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this was like four and a half, I wouldn't touch it, right? I mean, the bucks minus two and a half, you get both teams have a bad loss in terms of the Falcons losing at home by eight to the commanders, Desmond Reuters first home loss in college or the pros, which is just an insane stat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baker Mayfield, I didn't realize this, but Peter King was on Pro Football Talk live, I think, and it's before the Bucks got...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lose 26 to the Lions, but it really felt like kind of a, it's like a stiff arm, like the Lions were like, nah, we're here. And dude, how many Lions fans were in Tampa paid for that game? My goodness. Uh, it, it, if Peter King was-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four feel south. Peter came with someone how like maybe the bucks are getting a little concerned about his Baker, the guy, et cetera, et cetera. And I think you lose the lions like that. You're embarrassed at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a great bounce back spot for this passing offense with Baker and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. The Falcons are a massive, uh, pass funnel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are good against the run. They force teams to pass. They're the number three pass funnel, I think in the NFL right now. And on the other side, you have like Atlanta, who's going to want to run the crap out of the ball. It's just what they do. And Tampa is great against the run. Like one of the best teams in football against Iran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think we see much success for the Atlanta offense on the ground. I think it forces Desmond Ritter to throw and you've got an opportunistic, aggressive Todd Bowles defense. I like the bucks to win this one. Um, but I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like most Atlanta games, it's probably going to be pretty close. Uh, on the road, you feel a little bit better on the grass and, and Tampa's comfortable there. But, um, so like I don't mind RJ's teaser at all. I think that's a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two and a half and the eight and a half is probably a pretty good window from where this game ends up, but I'll take the bucks as a best bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's been, he's just mad on the road. And, um, you know, if you think about it, there's all kind of dovetailed together too, like a Ritter pick over Drake London. Um, you know, it's like, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just not going to be able to run the ball. They're going to have to pass it a bunch and it might not go well for Dez Ritter, but certainly well enough where they can say, we can actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think in theory we could sweep, we could all win a bet on this, even though we're like, not everybody's on the same page. Like we go four for four on this, on this Falcons bucks game. Can't wait to watch that. That's an NFC. So it's my own Fox. I don't really care about watching. Um, just kidding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recently, I actually picked, uh, I've got a best bet here and I'm head to head against RJ, which is never a comfortable spot to be, but I got the bills laying the eight and a half on the road against the Patriots going to Foxborough land. I mean, eight and a half points of the road in a divisional matchup with a total of 40 and a half. Uh, here's the thing though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven meetings between the bills and the Patriots since Tom Brady flew the coop and headed south for Tampa Bay. The pats or the bills are six and one in those games straight up. The only loss by the bills was the 14 to 10 win game. Famous win game where Belichick showed up. I was like writing this down last night too, in the best bets. And it was like, I was like, Bill Belichick showed up in a Navy mask. I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lost, Belichick ran the ball a ton. Uh, but they're five and two against the spread. The Bills are in those seven games. Um, the only time they didn't cover the first one, week eight, 2020, the first meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's so pretty decent. Uh, cam Newton too, I think, uh, 24, 21, the bills won as a four point favorite. Uh, and then they didn't cover as well in that, in the wind game, they've covered minus seven at new England in 2020. They've covered, uh, minus seven and a half. Most recently they've covered bigger spreads and that includes a playoff game. So I just think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sean McDermott sees Belichick down bad and is not afraid to run up the score and just put him in a choke hold and snuff him out and really make the Patriots suffer. Uh, RJ, I assume you believe this is just too many points for a home team and a desperate Belichick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minus 168. Yea, the Rams is going to be my first choice there as well. Um, if I mean, yeah, see, I mean, like the Seahawks are a good pick. They're great pick. Fantastic pick. Tremendous pick. Um, I was going to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, no, I was going to go. I like, so the two leg partly we got so far pays out just even money and we're going to have a dog built into there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And get like some, uh, like I don't know if we need two dogs, but I think we add, if I had the bucks in there and I like the bucks, you guys feel okay about the bucks? I don't care. I'm taking the bucks at my best bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minus 136. That gets us to plus 247. And then Katie, who's got dogs for days apparently. Dogs for days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, without the line moving, obviously we're not, I mean, Justin feels is doubtful, which basically we're not feels any plan. I would be shocked if he plays. Um, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, it's probably a backup quarter. It's just interesting that the line jumped up a full point like that. I mean, that really would indicate that they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, RJ, what would you, how would you handle like the Jimmy G situation in terms of, uh, what you do with the, like this, this line and this turtle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool, uhm, yeaah, I think we can kind of move, I mean, just, you just don't know, this game is going to be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think RJ is 100% right. That's what you do with this game. You're not going to see a bunch of props because you got these backup quarterbacks in there and it's just a hard game to pick because it's two teams with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Katie's lions. My lions. What are we talking about? These are my lions. Our lions. Look, I love this. I love this lions team. I mean, like, I, I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I could go back in time and change my, if I could go back in time, I would make my Super Bowl pick the Lions versus the Dolphins. Cause like that, it just, it's like, I like, I didn't have concerns about the Dolphins and Lions hype was too big, but like, man, I mean, they are just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, they're like, they're America's new team. Move over Jaguars. Browns, you had one, one, one year with Baker Mayfield in 2018. You're done son. Move over Jaguars. You were, you were the team last year. Now it's the Lions. This is, this is Dan Campbell, Jared Goss redemption story. Like I see these Lions fans traveling around the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, I can't help but think about this stupid college football team that I root for and how we've just lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want the lions plus three. Uh, they are a worry a little bit about the injuries with David Montgomery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, not likely out. Jameer Gibbs is limited to Greg Reynolds is on the injury report. So I think it's going to have to be the Jared golf show, but Jameson Williams is back and caught that long touchdown. He, he stretches the field for them. I want to say Brown. Fantastic. Sam Laporta. They have a really good passing game, really smart offense. And yeah, the, the Ravens are a very good football team, but I think getting three,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the hype train is heavy, RJ, but I'm gonna take the lions plus the three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Protocol purposes, you probably just take the plus three, I think for the, cause like, cause we don't, I mean like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, just for like, for the best bets, like you, you won't get like 1.3, you know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. No, I agree with you. Like that's the play if you like it. And we've got it in the parlay, but for, uh, for purposes of your record, you would want the three points just because like you're basically getting like the might like 40.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just wanted to make sure that, yeah, you got, like, the lions lose by two, and it's like, I get a win, and you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, bills, bills, uh, bills, bills minus 42 and a half at the page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think so. And, um, I, I got the Rams is the best bet. I love, I love LA in the spot. I, you know, DVO a wise, they're the 12th best team in football and the fifth best offense checking in at 18th in terms of the defensive ranking. The, uh, Steelers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not like terrible, but their 20th and 28th on offense, 11th on defense. And as RJ pointed out, uh, that Steelers past defense, not quite as, uh, you know, the past rush can be certainly dangerous for TJ White and Alex I Smith, but you know, and they can, they can stifle the run as well. But the thing about like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really hard to like overstate how effing good Cooper Cup looks coming back from his injury. He is just 2021 Cooper Cup when he was like had the all time, you know, like the greatest, like arguably the greatest year in receiving history. And then you have the development of Pooka Nakua and all of this. And then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You also add in 2-2 Atwell. So now 2-2 Atwell can actually be the third option who gets deep and they use them on that pre-snap motion where he like motions back into the formation. It makes it easy for him to get, he doesn't have to battle physically with a cornerback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who could, could work and could do his thing underneath without being the focal point for defenses and Cooper Cup just wins even when he is being, when he is the focal point. Yeah. Tyler Higby in there as well. Um, you know, they, uh, they brought a Darryl Henderson off the street. I saw somebody note that the last time Sean McVeigh signed a mid season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, street free agent running back was CJ Anderson, who, friend of the podcast, by the way, who loves Sonic the Hedgehog, um, who went nuclear. Yeah, no, weird, right? Went nuclear down the stretch, um, and for the Rams in the postseason. I, I don't know that Henderson is going to be like the guy, but he has experience in that system and this offensive line playing much better. I think, I think we see a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A very, very nice game from Matthew Stafford here. Maybe a couple of touchdowns and the Rams win fairly handily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the Matt Canada offense, RJ, not built to come back against anybody. Don't, don't, don't tell him he said that though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And makers might just stink. Like he had that one run last year after he got traded, but that's about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, everybody good on the Seals and Rams because we are going to take a break. We have another actually have an NFC West matchup on the other side. But first,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunday, an NFL on CBS Doubleheader features rivalries from coast to coast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The frisky frisky Arizona Cardinals headed to Seattle to take on Eugene Cyril Smith, the third and an explosive, I think sneaky Seattle offense plus the Seattle defense. It's number one in the league against the run right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, I'll be honest, Seahawks easy best bet. Love seeing that, uh, someone else on this podcast is also on the Seahawks. And here's the here's the basic gist of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cardinals are still being treated by the public and by the market as the frisky


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cardinals who were like coming out to cover. They went 3-0 against the spread their first three weeks. They won one of those two games. They could have started the season 3-0 legitimately. They could have been 3-0 and they have gotten absolutely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We saw the, uh, 49ers put it on them. They had a chance to cover like 14 and a half late. The Bengals took care of business against them, uh, pulled away late and Joe Burr had that much more chase at that massive game. And then, um, the Rams took care of business and just sort of snuffed them out. And I think injuries are piled up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you get through that initial three weeks after you try hard the preseason to try hard to start the year and you're just playing these good teams and just, it's just tough for them to keep up with good teams. Seattle at home in a divisional matchup, the Seahawks are a underrated team that are not getting enough credit because they just lost that game in since the 1713.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love the Seahawks here, RJ. I'm best bet easily minus seven and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's like ha- the Chargers play one score games every single week. The Chargers and the Vikings just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, it was, somebody had a good, somebody had a good joke. Tell them out. It was like Jeff Schwartz. Uh, okay. It was like Jeff Schwartz about like on the, uh, the bear, uh, the, with the bear Chris Felico, their podcast over at Fox sports. It's like, somebody was like, just fast forward to the two minute warning. One of the Cowboys are the chargers are going to be up three points and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then someone's going to have a chance to go down the field and either Dak Prescott or Justin Herbert's going to throw an interception, a backbreaking interception that's going to cause America to freak out and debate whether or not Dak can be the quarterback of the star or whether Justin Herbert is clutch or not. And that's literally what we did on the podcast yesterday. Um, they're still about like, is Justin Herbert anti-clutch? And so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only concern for me is that the chiefs have this really good defense and the ability with Isaiah Pacheco, um, and Clyde over to layer and then Jared McKinnon, some especially in third down spots to just melt clock in the second half and keep this game way under if they have a double digit lead. But the charges play so many one score games, it's hard to get away from that five and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just really quickly, I was just gonna say on, uhm, just looking at Justin Herbert, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kellen Moore is supposed to like cause this offense to open up and take a ton of downfield shots. And there's some, ain't that many though. Interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's fascinating because like, Kelly Moore, Kelly Moore's offense RJ in Dallas was vertical. And like the whole point was like Joe Lombardi kept him, his A-dots so low and he still, it still just hadn't changed all that much. Maybe Mike Williams is the problem. I'm not sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aaron Schatz with DVO- DVOA, which is now over at ftnfantasy.com. If you want to check that out, uh, the Denver Broncos coming into week six had the worst defense in history, the history of DVOA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through five, the first five games of the season. Now, when we say first six games, instead of six weeks, it's because the, uh, 1998 Bengals had their bye in their first five weeks, or first, or maybe week six. Their sixth game, they lost to the Titans 44 to 14.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, Denver lost and was okay on defense against the Chiefs, but because the Bengals got blown out so badly by the Titans in 98, they actually jumped the, the, the, the Broncos, who now just have the second worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defense historically, uh, by DVOA through the first six games of a team season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. I mean, AJ Dillon, like Aaron Jones could go ballistic here. AJ Dillon is a kind of sneaky too, where like he finally has a good game running the ball. They never can't stop anybody moving along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the slate, 40, 37, 36 is the turtles. And we get a little 51 and a half with the Philadelphia Eagles, Jalen Hurts hosting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a tongue of Aloha and the Miami Dolphins, Tyree kill in prime time. And Katie, you love the fans here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think those two guys are on the same team. It's wild. Uh, and by the way, Lane Johnson, uh, they have not released a practice report for Thursday, but he and Devontae Smith both returned to practice, uh, according to reporters who were at the Eagles practice. That makes a pretty big difference. I don't know. You get three, but I don't know RJ with Lane Johnson, Devontae Smith, if they play, you might get three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just noticed as I was going to look at the Eagles injury report, the Eagles have a whole thing. It's Kelly Green Sunday night. That's fun. Dolphins. Dolphins better wear. Dolphins better bring their A game with the jerseys because that is a aesthetically


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, very pleasing. Kelly green, plus the dolphins, maybe a little orange, ooh la la la.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got the Buccaneers minus two and a half, the Bills minus eight and a half. I got some big favorites here. Uh, but also Detroit plus three, the Rams minus three and Seattle minus seven and a half. How about you, Katie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's cause I do my best best article on Wednesday night and I'm like just been doing five picks against the spread week and I'm like to like, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] RJ, RJ right now is like, you know when you play NBA Jam?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I told you, I mean, this is a thing I told you would happen too. And uh, Alex, four in one, strong week with the props. Mr. I- I only get hot early in the season and then uh, seems like, I mean, everybody, well, Katie is below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, here's a fun fact about this. Mark has vowed his scantling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, told Brian Diardo of cbssports.com. He said, I'm not even, I'm not entirely sure why Diardo got a one-on-one with MVS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, obviously it sucks that we have to travel nine hours for our home game when Arrowhead is right down the street, but we do have other fans. I know we got a lot of Germany fans, uh, but it does suck for the players to have to be away from their families or I've got to find a babysitter for my dog for a couple of days. Thank you for taking care of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually searched Chief's Travel in the first because I was going to see, do you guys know when they went over?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks Harry. Chiefs for flying in. Of course Harry knows he's a Dolphins fan. And producer Harry is obviously like on top of stuff anyway. Uhm, actually he's very on top of everything. Very meticulous with his notes too. We appreciate that. Uhm, the Chiefs are flying in today. So today is Thursday. That means the Dolphins, I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I don't know, that's like three whole days to adjust. I think I like the Dolphins. I think the, my home's all, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not featuring offenses that are quite as enticing. The Rams at the Packers, uh, a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Packers, cause I think that Jordan love is problematic. I mean, is there GM came out and questioned him, uh, this week. It was asked about, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, asked about like, he's like, Brian Goodenkunst was asked, is Juno, do you think you'll be able to figure out if Jordan Love is the guy, uh, by the end of the season? He was like, I certainly hope it doesn't take longer than that. But I mean, over the last few weeks, he has been erratic as hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to trust. And yet I just have a hard time believing that Matthew Stafford is going to go into Lambeau field in November and be himself with a banged up hand RJ. So I definitely am leaning towards just not having anything on this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just clicked, uh, went to sportsline.com, um, wanna congratulate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I just was going to sportsline.com to see if RJ had jumped up to number one on the NFL leaderboard. He has, and, uh, I gotta say, it's a lot of, uh, a lot of mocks on the old sports line page. Look like somebody's got her pics in. Your face is all over the top banner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two extra picks from Katie Mox on that one and then one extra pick, uh, on Brown's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, Brown's Cardinals, which we'll get to in a minute, but first, uh, I got nothing on this one. I do lean towards the Buccaneers as well. It feels like, um, and by the way, Tampa Bay, uh, Tampa Bay Texans and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like that old line from, uh, baseball, it's like, uh, the, the lake, the, the, uh, the oilers moved to Nashville where they have, or Tennessee where there's no oil, the Los Angeles Lakers, the LA, the Lakers moved to Los Angeles where there are no lakes and the Jazz and the Jazz moved to Utah where they don't allow music of any kind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, I mean, I really draw on the good games here. Like they, you guys really locked me in on the marquee superstar games here. The, the Washington commanders, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just dealt both Chase Young and Montez Sweatt at the trade deadline, uh, severely dampening their, their pass rush and their defense as a whole, which may be why this line is, this is the total is over 40, 40 and a half little juice the over and New England minus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three in this one, uh, prop, you got a, uh, a reception.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, or Alex, you have a perception prop that you, uh, you're gonna give out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have, uh, two questions before we move to the next game. One, uhm, it's two, it's, it's New England minus two and a half on the cbssports.com pick'em leagues. Would you, would you still lean towards Washington?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you think I get to, I mean, cause like, I could, I could really give you the way on this one. That was, and so it's sort of like, you know, week nine, you started kind of thinking about game theory a little bit just in terms of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you get some leverage on the field if nobody wants Washington because they're selling, et cetera, et cetera. So I might go Washington. And then number two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I dreaming or did, I think somebody put this in our Slack chat, but uhm, did Mike Florio lob out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the radio that like Washington might trade for Bill Belichick this offseason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that if this season ends as poorly as it's going for the Patriots, that Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick are gonna have a talk about whether Bill Belichick is gonna remain the GM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or whether he needs to bring somebody else in for player acquisition, Bill Belichick is not going to be down with that. And that Josh Harris, who wants to make a splash in Washington.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Bill Belichick's from Annapolis, you know, like it's not like he, I think going, like going back to Washington and like reviving the Washington commanders would like be a thing he would be into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Stop that crazy. Weirder stuff is happening in the NFL. That would be a big one though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, the state's offense is not very good. Uh, it's about, it's about, it's about time for Crystal Lave to get going here, prop. Um, I actually think I, I picked up Derek Carr, my fantasy league. I'm stacking him with a lobby this week. So I think, I think we could, I think we can see some action against the, uh, against the bad bears defense. And look, Chicago, that first game with a secret pageant man. That was fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the, the Cinderella story's over. I mean, they got polistered by the chargers and the Saints are a better defense than the chargers. Um, even if the, in their, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you're going to see New Orleans completely lockdown this Bears offense. There's no chance of Justin Fields playing. He's already been ruled out, I believe. And as such, you're just not going to, the Bears are going to be able to do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Alva Kamara, like I don't think the Saints offense is good, but it's good enough to score on a bad, bad Bears team. So saints might say half an hour. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh sorry, before you go prop, can I, am I allowed to like tack on the teaser? Your teaser is the best bet since I have both of those bets or is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh boy. Harry, Harry with the announcer jinx. RJ's weekly teaser has yet to miss. Great stat there, Harry. Um, okay, I won't jump on that teaser then because I don't want to be-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, sure. Uh, prop, what were you gonna say? A lave?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me, uh, I just want to look and see what, um, so, uh, sorry. Uh, I was going to see, look and see what he is for, um, offensive player of the year. Like I don't think that's going to happen. Is that even worth like even considering?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually, I actually think that like Tyreek is not a terrible


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're gonna take a break and allow Katie to regain her sanity about a running back winning a VP. Just kidding, he'll be involved, he'll get a vote or two. More than Matthew Stafford. More than Matthew Stafford. And when we come back, more games plus the pick six parlay! Next!

[Assistant] It's time for the pick six parlay, where we each select a game for a four leg moneyline parlay, but there are some rules. First, the person with the best record the previous week is to add the first leg, second place, second, and so on. So I'm last? Yes, you are last. Uh, ties are broken by this, by season record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Second, we must, we have to have at least one plus money pick in there. That's right. We must bet one underdog. Anybody can bet it. But if you, if, if like, if the three of us bet favorites and the Katie is forced to take a, a, uh, an underdog last, this pick six parlay segment is brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. Make every moment


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I saw you blush a little bit, RJ. You can't believe that you cost us the parlay with the Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes and his upshot Widow Tommy caused him to lose to the Broncos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course he was going to beat the lowly Broncos and somehow that's the one that lost it for us. Uh, I don't begrudge you, RJ. One of us would have picked it if you hadn't. Eagles get there, Ravens get there, Eagles barely got there, and Panthers barely got there. Denver doomed us. Alright, RJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five in one last week, you get to go first, followed by Harry, then me, uh, Harry, followed by Alex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I could just wait to talk. I'll wait to talk about the Panthers till we get to that game. But I've got an angle. You might have an idea of what my angle is for the Panthers as well. Alex, what's your pick here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is very interesting now. Am I going, who's going last? You're me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no, since week six? Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm just messing with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm waiting this right now on the board. There are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's only one more favorite of a touchdown or more. Alex did the correct thing and took the Saints as the best money line bet. The question is, am I a gentleman?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can leave you the Browns. Or do I take, no, I'm not a gentleman. I'm taking the Browns. Give me the Browns minus, uh, they're minus eight and a half, um, against the Cardinals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't feel great about it, but the Cardinals are starting, uh, it's like somewhat a character from who framed Roger Rabbit, Clayton Toon, uh, at quarterback this week. And, uh, I trust that Brown's defense to do enough to keep Clayton Toon in check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they're all, no, no, I think, I think they're all really hard. That's what I'm saying. Like all the games are like difficult to pick. I think that's why. So we've got, uhm, Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Panthers plus 120 and Bills plus 108. I plugged this in on sportsbook.fandual.com. Gives us a plus 624 moneyline parlay. So you're getting, uh, over 6 to 1 if all four of these games hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's that? Yeah, you do a full, you get the first three and then you come back, you put a full unit on the bingles at minus 125 or something like that. And you're guaranteed not to lose money with a chance to win five units. You're welcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, that's it. That's the uh, that's the pi- I'm sorry, you were supposed to recap the parlay and I didn't read the rundown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This Pick Six Parlay segment has been brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. Make every moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More. Yes. Vikings at the Falcons. Falcons minus four and a half. My god. Two new quarterback changes here. The Atlanta Falcons are rolling with Taylor Heinecke. Desmond Ritter was like sort of pinched, but not really. Like Arthur Smith was worried about his health and him as a person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I guess, I don't, like, I guess it has to do with...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marcus Mariota, like, leaving the team last year or something? I'm not, I'm not really sure, but, uh, Taylor Heinecke is starting now for the Falcons, and of course, with Kirk Cousins going out for the year. Uh, Josh Dobbs in for Minnesota, but won't start this week. Jaren Hall, the rookie starting for the Vikings, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unsurprisingly, nobody has a best bet here. Can't imagine there are any props. RJ, any thoughts on what to do with your, um, uh, your power ratings with these two teams and the changes they're making with your quarterback?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the Falcons inability to win anything by more than three points, except for I think the Panthers in week one, or like, not to like, it's every week with the Falcons, it's a field goal at the end. Uhm, and Minnesota's defense really has been playing a lot better. I think that's something to watch for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alex, I see you nodding your head. Any sort of future thoughts on the Vikings defense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sort of the general thinking for people is that the Vikings are pretty easy defense to throw against, run against, et cetera. But they, as RJ mentioned, top 10 yards per play, they're playing a lot better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got the over is the best bet. Uh, and I just remember where it was. We did, um, we recorded our, uh, uh, what do we call them? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. Yeah. Pick six pod on Instagram. Pick six prime picks. Say that five times fast. Harry all over it as usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh, remember, I remember I, I was like star, I had to do like three takes to get it right. Cause the first one I was like trying to find what the line was for that total. I was like, I love this over. Uh, and I guess since I gave them out of the pick six prime plays, it's going up two points. Uh, a lot of P's in there, but, uh, yeah, I think this is, um, a spot where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, both, both defenses can, are, are good. I mean, I think, and probably better against a run, and I think both teams would like to run, but this just feels like this could be like, like 70 points in this game where it's the highest scoring game of the week, and you see this sort of back and forth between,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where like Lamar takes some shots down the field, say Flowers gets involved and then Gino starts to throw and it's just with the Seahawks, you saw it against the Lions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a good, but much improved Lions defense. Like the Seahawks are just one of those teams where if you can get them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they just will turn into like a shootout and it's hard to, they're hard to run against. I think the top five run defense in the league, if not even the top run defense in the league, depending on which metric you're looking at. So I think this turns into a shootout. We get a ton of points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, big time DFS spot with everybody else, especially with like, um, you know, the main slate with the Chiefs of the Dolphins and then the Bills and the Bengals off into prime time. Um, this is probably a game that a lot of people focus on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arizona Cardinals at the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are minus eight and a half. We touched on this briefly. Uh, over under 37 and a half. And Katie, you've got a best bet on this stanky game between, um, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait is, I just saw that, um, Tom Pellicera reported.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Jonathan Gannon, I don't know why Pellissier, or maybe Pellissier was talking about, I just saw a headline. It's like, Jonathan Gannon is, quote, says Kyler Murray is, quote, fired up, end quote, about the possibility of playing weeknights. Kyler playing? I thought it was a gun dealer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I would, if I, if I thought that Kyler Murray was playing this game, I would want to switch out to Atlanta on the Moneyline versus the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should we, should we swap the Browns out of that parlay then? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I need to get my sanity back, so we're gonna take a break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after the break, we'll have the rest of the Sunday slate. But first Sunday, the NFL is on CBS and we can't wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where I can't miss week nine slate headline by an inter conference showdown and charm city between the Seahawks and the Ravens. It all gets started at noon Eastern with JB and the guys on the NFL today. All hail Sunday. The NFL is on CBS and streaming on Paramount plus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was the, uh, the Devin Whitman quote. Good for you, Katie. I thought that was a, I thought you were working your way towards, uh, uh, I'm running in the marathon humble brag. It was just simply, I'm on, I'm on, I'm on television, humble brag via the marathon. Very nice. Very nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel like this may be sort of like my magnum opus, my opus, whatever. Harry can put it up. He knows what it is. Whatever the phrase is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Mr. Brinson's opus is what this is. Because Frank Reich, who I love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was fired by that clown, Jim Ursay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Magnum Opus, yeaah, that's what I meant, thank you. Uhm, I started to say it and I was like, is that the wrong word?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, probably got anything, anybody else got anything on this? Or you just want me to go to uh, Cowboys at Panthers? Cowboys at Eagles, how about that? Cowboys at the Eagles, uhm, I gotta tell ya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This line's a little fishy because I saw it was like, man, the Eagles are a stone cold lock and I've gone the other way. I think that I think I like the Cowboys now having dug into it and looking at, um, the sort of the, the scores and the, and the, and the results when, um, when Mike McCarthy and, and, uh, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Nick Sirianni square off, but I don't have it as a best bet. RJ, I believe you do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had five best bets in my column that publishers every Thursday on cbsports.com. One of them is for tonight's game. I'm taking the Steelers as a best bet, uh, which I don't really feel great about either. I need to put that into sports. I'm going to get done here. Um, like backing Matt Canada. That seems like a good idea. Um, but, uh, anywho.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neither here nor there. I couldn't use that for this one. I was going to go Cowboys, but I saw RJ just sending the Cowboys and so I was like, I don't want to, I don't want to RJ to feel like I'm, he already sent it in. I want to feel like, you know, like you're looking over his shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? I got, I got one revenge game. This is if you want to do the Brinson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Princeton narrative parlay, Panthers and the Raiders on the Moneyline. This is the quintessential dead cat bounce game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're going to be motivated for Antonio Pierce. Uh, we heard Dues, uh, talk to, talk about it. He said he played with him as a rookie. Uh, you should check out the podcast from yesterday. Called him the smartest football player he's ever played, smartest teammate he's ever had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, says that Pierce will do a great job motivating these guys. I don't know if he's going to be great. I think, but we do think we get, uh, a rich Passatia, uh, style dead cat bounce from the, uh, from the Raiders here and a little success to the Antonio Pierce in this week. First game against the Giants at home, very winnable, regardless of who's a quarterback and who's the head coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love it. All right. Uh, and finally,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bills at the Bengals. What a game on Sunday night. As Katie pointed out, this is the first regular season matchup between these two teams since the tomorrow Hamlin, uh, class on the field. Although this one is in Cincy and you see, uh, Bengals minus one and a half shaded a little bit with the juice, uh, to Cincinnati minus one 15, a total of 49 and a half. Um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horrible start to the season is completely forgotten and there may be like, like look at the driver's seat to chase down the number one seed, uh, overall in the, like in the AFC and maybe be the best team in football. So I will take the Bengals here at a prime time spot and prop you've got, or Alex, you've got a prop as well here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got the Saints, minus eight and a half, the Seattle Baltimore over 44 and a half, Carolina plus two and a half, the Raiders minus one and a half, and the Bengals minus one and a half as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, nothing on this game. I know RJ has a best bet or a prop that I saw from this game that I actually like quite a bit. RJ, are you giving that out on the show today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this is a good buy low spot for a lave. I think the market would agree as well. Put him out on the sports line site yesterday at 58 and a half yards. He has ballooned up to 65 and a half yards out presently. So some good closing line value there if you are a sports line subscriber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just the more exposu that offense looks to be New Orleans offense with the field definitely looks all cylinders. I think the in this game. I will take


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it has not been the case. I've been certainly getting better week to week. I was listening to an interview with Harrison Smith recently, uh, just talking about really buying into Brian Flores and you obviously see, uh, the results on the field, uh, each week get better and better. Highest blitz rate in the NFL by a significant margin. By a wide margin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buy a wide margin, but, uh, yeah, defensively they look really good. It's a shame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be interesting to see what this offense looks like without him. I think, uh, a lot of the Kirk Cousins detractors will have some crow to eat when they see this Minnesota offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so yeaah, I think Josh Allen in these prime time spots tends to really play a little bit of hero ball as well. Uh, you see him run a lot more on prime time frankly. So, uh, getting the discount here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, of the snaps in this game, the game obviously has a high total shootout potential. I always talk about getting cheap pieces when you have a guy as good as T Higgins, in my opinion, in a contract year with the amount of attention that Jamar Chase commands opposite of him, getting him under 50 yards is just a tremendous value. Can't pass it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's go. Jahan Dotson over three and a half receptions. Yandre Swift over 56 and a half rushing yards. I also really like his attempts over 13 and a half. Josh Allen over 26 and a half rushing yards. T Higgins over 49 and a half receiving yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Happy Tuesday, people. This is the Pick Six Podcast. I'm Ryan Wilson. That's John Breach. And that, of course, is the reason we're all here today. Mr. Pete Prisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, Breach, as you are well aware, and Harry, just so you know, Princeton had a hair plug emergency, so he is on temporary IR. We will see him tomorrow. In the meantime, if you're watching us on YouTube at NFL and CBS, hit the old like button and make sure you subscribe. And while you're at it, give us a five star review.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wherever you get your podcasts, on Monday's show, Katie Mox, Princeton and Emory Hunt took a look at early odds for week eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before you put any money down this week, give that a listen breach to make sure you're making good choices. Speaking of making good choices, B!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also making money. I'd encourage you to make your way over to the CBS Sports Expert page because yours truly had a record weekend. And Pete, I know you've been happily spreading the word around the office while I'm out there about my exploits. So why don't you announce it to everybody what I exactly accomplished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you took great glee in this. I got a text from Jamie Eisenberg making fun of me because you were


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure he did. Did you, how, how much did you enjoy texting me at 11 o'clock on Sunday night?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunday was an especially terrible day. Like I don't, I'm terrible at bedding clearly. We all know that. But even for sharps, I think they had a tough afternoon, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, luckily I don't want to, I'm not going to tell anyone I was trying, I'll tell you that much, but it is Breach because he's the positive force on this show, Notes. I did win the experts straight up the last, or I guess the spread the last two years, Pete, much to your dismay because you got angry down the stretch, if I recall correctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, a terrible spot. We talked about that on Sunday night's show. All right. Enough making fun of me. At least specifically, you can do that at your leisure. Uh, if you're listening or watching or whatever. Oh, and 13, I own it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These things happen. Probably won't be the last time Breach, let's be real. All right, today we're gonna run through Prisco's week eight power rankings, uh, play buyers and sellers at the deadline and then blind rank the best NFL uniforms. But first,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minnesota Vikings surprised the 49ers and me on Monday Night Football. And, uh, it's Halloween season, Pete. And if I recall correctly, you and I were in Nashville for the draft and we were just shooting the bull. I think you're a Halloween guy, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what the, that's what the text I thought I was getting on Sunday night and said you were just making fun of my pics. But let's go here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Breach, we make fun of him for being a closet serial killer and cat lover. Turns out Prisco's a cat lover, but Pete, let me ask you this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rank your five, three to five scariest movies, and you can go back as far as you want, because I think the movies used to be scary when we were younger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you dressed up for Halloween because you have a little girl. Did you, were you a Halloween person prior to that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's, that's eighties. Let me throw this one at you. And Breech, you can weigh in too, although this was a lot of your age bracket, I would think, but maybe you went back. The exercise was legit scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Breach, so you can throw the extras in there if you've seen it. I'm gonna give you three other movies and then you can throw in others if you so choose. The Shining?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the ring, I'll mention the ring. So any of those get your attention or does something scare your breach? Have you even seen the ring? No. Yeah, you can't turn the television on or that little girl comes and gets you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seriously, so why did I put this in a rundown? Hey, I don't scare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't scare. You don't scare. I will say quickly, and Harry, you didn't see this, but I will send you the clip since I've been getting dumped on this show. At the Los Angeles Super Bowl a few years ago, we were outside on top of a hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breach and Brinson almost fell off the top of the hotel in one of the big, uh, sort of sunshades, almost fell on them, and it would have hurt them pretty badly. I didn't flinch, and Pete didn't flinch when he was up there, so that's how tough we are, Breach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta start off with the old 49ers on your power rankings this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think they lost on purpose so I would go 0-13, but whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kurt Cousins, to his credit, ballin' out. Jordan Addison, to his credit, without Justin Jefferson, had a fantastic game, the rookie wide receiver. Uhm, but they only fell one spot to 49ers. So what's your, what's your math there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quickly, so this, but, that's where I'll say, send me a text that said Ryan Wilson and the O was replaced with a zero, because I'm a loser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eh, bleh, bleh. Breach, what do you think about Purdy? Cause I thought he came out firing, looked better than he did obviously last week and then the wheel sort of fell off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but he was pressing his last year at Iowa State. He seemed to be pressing this game without Devo Samuel, without Trent Williams. So, we'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we go. Moving on. The real question, according to what I'm reading in front of me, according to producer Harry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why aren't the Eagles number one? Because the Eagles beat up on Harry's Miami Dolphins team. It was close till the end and it kind of got away from Miami, but why do you have the Eagles number two as we sit here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about it on the Sunday Night Show, that defense is playing really well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm tired of defending Brandon Staley, so I don't want to talk about that game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he were making CBS Sports Esports picks, he would have gone 0-13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last few games, I think he's better for Justin Herbert, but I think that team, like the Browns, I feel like they're just cursed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 100%. Like, Jim Breach had to raise an entire, like, it was like Brady Bunch over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright Pete, you sorta touched on it here, uhm, the Chiefs are number one. But!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As producer Harry notes, they've lost to the only above 500 team they played so far week one against my Detroit Lions. So how can you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When do they beat Jacksonville? Week two. Oh, week two, okay. Alright, maybe they weren't above 500 at the time. Either way, you have the Chiefs here, they haven't really played any one. You okay with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, yeah, Breach, uh, Pete's using my, my neutral field argument. So, alright, Breach, I'll ask you, Chief's on a neutral field, and by the way, Breach's wife is from Alabama, so it may favor the Bengals. Uh, Chief Seagull, see you taking, Breach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, absolutely. I'm taking the ratings. Alright, I'll mention one more. Chiefs, Dolphins. Everyone's at Full Hill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a good look. They're gonna, well, I don't know if they're gonna win the division. They need to win the division. That was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look man, I'll stand up for the Steelers as much as anyone, but I'm struggling with 11 spots up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just him, everybody. But they played better late. TJ White had to get the interception to get the ball down the seven yard line and they went from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I mean, I'm not going to complain about it, I get it, but I take Breach's point for sure. Alright, not a lot of followers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say, I enjoyed week 7. Like I thought those were a lot of good games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I love, and you probably heard this story too, Breach, but I love Pete, back in the day when he was coming to Jaguars driving Tom Coughlin crazy. He'd be hanging out in the parking lot trying to get quotes from players, uh, trying to, while trying to evade Tom Coughlin, keeping an eye on him. Little frisky Pete Prisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna take a quick break here, and when we come back, we're gonna talk about the New York teams. All three of them. Coming up next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. We're going to move away from the old Pete power rankings here and onto something that might sway power rankings for weeks to come. The old trade deadline, uh, last year, Chris McCaffrey, Bradley Chubb and Calvin Ridley, uh, were trading new squads. Who will be the teams looking to plug some gaps this year? It's buyers and sellers. Let's start it off with who is buying. And after last night, do you think the 49ers will be looking for help Pete?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's true. I don't know if you played it all last night. I think you had a handful of snaps the week before as well. But I mean, Daniil Hunter's out there, Patrick Sertian, I don't know if he's available or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about, this sounds weird to say, and maybe it's just a function of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Josh Allen only throwing the ball to Steph Dix, but Gabe Davis has not been involved recently. Are you looking at wide receiver help or are you just going to start getting Gabe Davis involved?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand, and they're, I mean, the defense, Milano and Daquan Jones as you mentioned, and Trey White for that matter are huge losses, but you have no business losing to the Patriots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have so many rules. Uh, alright. At the beginning of the season, everybody thought Tony Pollard was going to be the next big Cowboys. Running back, he is not. They have Rico Daddle on the roster. Uh, they have Deuce Vaughn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's undersized and hasn't been getting a lot of looks. Are they thinking about running back here? And if so, who might it be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a whole other can of worms. I don't know what's going on there. It's very weird to me, but whatever. I mean, that's not my thing. It does say a lot about Dorian Thompson Robinson, who you liked last spring. I loved over the summer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you talking about the Browns or me? I'm fine with them. Yeah, the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DTR play with PJ Walker's confidence, he'd already be in the Hall of Fame because there's not a throw PJ Walker will not make no matter how bad I use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright Pete, before we go to break here, you mentioned, you and Breach both mentioned that the Vikings are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, in the think of it, they ain't selling anyone anymore. Who are some players that are potentially going to be on the market? I'm thinking primarily everyone on the Broncos, but are there other guys that you have your eye on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I told you that this fact last week when we talked about him, four drop backs or five drop backs, four sacks. That's like a record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me throw a couple names at you. Let me throw a couple names at you, Pete, and you tell me where they stay or go and maybe potentially good landing spots. You mentioned Derek Henry, Jerry Judy? Stays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He needs to pick it up. He needs to be not worried about what, what's his face is talking about and he needs to focus on football. Um, Brian Burns at Russia Carolina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about Patrick Sertane? I mentioned him earlier as potentially maybe San Francisco. He's the best player on that team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just throwing it out there at this trade deadline. Day is approaching, uh, wait, a week from now? Alright, gonna take a quick break when we come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got a live power rankings where we pick who looks the best on the field. Look good, feel good, play good. Right after this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright people, I'm gonna put five minutes on the clock cause you got things to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna do an on the spot blind power ranking. We make it up live on the air and Pete doesn't know what five things we're gonna give him or in what order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Week seven showcased the best of uniforms. The old Eagles busted out the Kelly greens and perhaps something a little less than that. Producer Harry wasn't crazy about the Colts and those Heather blue numbers. I actually sort of liked them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you with Harry. Alright, fair enough. Alright Pete, this segment is all about you. Asking to rank the best NFL jerseys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First up, and you know how this works, right? We're gonna give you the names, you have to put them in places one through five, and you don't know what's coming next. Okay, go ahead. First up!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1968. Make sure I'm on the right page here. Yep. Uh, chargers, powder, blues. One.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and you moved this team of 11 spots in the Power Rings. The 1933 Pittsburgh Steelers Bumblebees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smarter than he looks. Uhm, before I give you the team I'll give you a hint. Do you remember what John McKay's favorite


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His little famous line was when talking about the execution of his team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let me ask you this though. So, rank these. The Seahawks OGs with Kurt Warner and Zorn. Uh, the Earl Campbell Oilers, which is a fun one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then like the, let's do the, the Denver and the Packers throwbacks, like to the teens where those just wear like just, unicolors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, the Penn State jerseys, those are nice. Notre Dame jerseys are nice. Browns, that color, I just don't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peas is sneaking to the polo grounds. I think that's where they played the polo grounds back in the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I think that's, that's going in on making fun of Breach. And uh, remember folks, I went 0-13 this week, just in case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, that's a wrap. Join us on Wednesday for Tuesdays with Brady. Bristol will be joined by Brady Quinn and Lije Dusselwald. We'll go over the biggest stories of the week. And before you go, give us a like, hit the old subscribe button on YouTube. Leave us a five star review wherever you get your pods. For breach. For beat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Repeat. Excuse me. For Producer Harry, I'm Owen13Wilson. See you guys later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and Pete text every day, so Pete, Pete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What year was that? Is that the 90s or the 80s? Or 60s? 90s. Had to be the 90s, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This will be a weekly topic, I'm sure. Pete likes to come at me because Matt Crowell is my number one quarterback in my 2020 class. Pete's number one quarterback and the quarterback of my Pittsburgh Steelers looks like Joe Burrow out there, Breach, like he is struggling. And the difference is Joe Burrow only has a half a leg, so there's an excuse there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what Kenny Pickett is doing. They were fire Canada chants all throughout the crowd last night and you can blame part of that and you can blame the offensive line Pete, but at some point Kenny Pickett has got to step up and play a lot better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I mean, you're not gonna get a pushback from me. I agree 100%. I said from day one when they spent all that money to get them. And by the way, I've heard that the Haslams wanted to stay with Baker and clearly they didn't and they had to give that weird


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of conversation explained to fans in the media why they went in this direction. Awful stuff aside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last night was an accumulation of that. And one of the things I took away in,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched a lot of, spent a lot of Saturdays watching college football. Spencer Rattler is one of my new favorite players because he is so tough and he takes a beating and keeps getting up. And I say that because Deshaun Watson looks like he's getting frustrated. The two face mask penalties breached. When's the last time a quarterback got two personal foul penalties, let alone a game in an entire


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing I would say, and Breach, you can answer this if you want, I don't think, uh, Nick Chubb being worth one game is that outlandish. He might be worth more than that. He's the best player in that offense and Deshaun Watson needs Nick Chubb way more than Nick Chubb needs Deshaun Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone was trying to sell on Deshaun Watson this summer. The defense is much better. They've had a ton of injuries and that's been unfortunate. Nick Chubb is obviously the big one, but Darius Smith limped off. Uh, they lost one of the cornerbacks. Newsome went out with an elbow injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Emerson was the guy that didn't try to tackle, uh, George on the, on the slant 71 yarders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but every year Cleveland finds a way to Cleveland it up, and this year is no different. That's all I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Niner of the Saints, one spot ahead of them are the Commanders. I actually like- Well, they started high in my ranking, so- That's fine, you're high and I'm coming into the season. I was-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a little concerned. I wanted to see how things sorted themselves out, but new ownership, the fans are rejuvenated. Sam Howell, my QB2 from that draft class, worth noting, have to reiterate that, uh, to cover up for number one there. He seems like he's coming along. Seems like he's putting things together. Brian Robinson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Breach, let me ask you this though, because the top 10, it's like one of these things are not like the other. I get the commanders there, they're sort of an upstart, uh, plucky group. Bill's offense, Raven's chiefs up top and then the Jaguars attend and then smack dab in the middle or the sink. So you have any comment about what's going on there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even on national television. So, uh, Breach, quickly I'll ask you this. Where is the Breach-O optimistic meter on the Bengals probability of making the playoffs? Not high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't, I can't even do it. I love the charges. I want Brandice Haley to, it's like when you have your, your kid and he keeps doing the same stupid thing. You tell him not to do. And at some point like, all right, just get out of the house outside and figure it out and then come back when you have it figured out. So when Brandice Haley has it figured out, he can come back in and we can eat dinner together and talk about, I'm going to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have hope. This team has no hope. That team feels like on the outside looking in, like the players have quit on, especially the office of coordinator who calls Matt Canada and says, I'm worse than you are at my job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He averaged 6.4 yards per carry last- What's his yardage numbers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are we missing from? Let me give you three defensive names and you can pick one, two, three, or zero. And these are random order, but the order that I love the most. TJ White, Fred Warner, Chris Jones. Chris Jones came back and immediately made an impact by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fred Warner's been brushing it too. What's that? Fred Warner's been playing out of his mind too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the most valuable. Who? Bossa? Yeaah. I think I'm going to say Hefanga. I like him too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah, well I mean that's, that feels like it's not even controversial, is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Schwartz is actually, I like Schwartz being there. I think he's one of the highlights of that, that, uh, organization as they currently are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing in particular, obviously some great individual performances. Uh, as you mentioned, Katie, I was just watching CJ, CJ Stroud, uh, just methodically pick apart a pretty good Tampa Bay, uh, defense was extremely impressive. Uh, Noah Brown citing of all players making a big impact in the three wide receiver sets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've just been so impressed by CJ Stroud, uh, and that offense and they just have not had a running game all of the year. It's not like we're talking about a super balanced team, uh, that's keeping the defenses honest. They've been one of the least efficient running teams in football. So yeah, continue to be impressed by Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six rushing touchdowns in the last three games, so Lamar Jackson certainly deserves


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, nothing quite yet, obviously, but I am interested in the matchup. I thought Emory hit the nail on the head regarding breaking down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacksonville's offense versus San Francisco's defense. They have been very vulnerable in the back end. We've seen some receivers with a lot of production. So I look at some vertical threats like Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, you know, running snaps out of the slot could potentially feast against the San Francisco secondary. That certainly hasn't been as good as they have been in years past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just Will Levis has made some super impressive throws. I know obviously the last drive where he was kind of forcing some passes. But yeah, just over the course of the game, he's just showing some


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upside some passes that Ryan Tannehill incapable of making. So even if Tannehill returns, which there is some speculation he could be back soon, uh, this is definitely going to be the Will Levis show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's going to continue to be impressive. I think he's adding a lot of juice to this offense, helping everything, everyone from Derrick Henry and then especially, you know, someone like DeAndre Hopkins who is still playing some outstanding


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna take a shot at Baltimore here, minus five and a half, playing against the Cleveland Browns. Look, I think Cleveland's performance are all impressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defense certainly played well, but that was against Clayton Toon and this Cardinals offense that has obviously created, uh, just lacking a lot of talent. So as a result of that, you know, shut out victory, I think Cleveland may get a little more credit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they frankly deserve offensively, just wasn't very impressed with the Browns offense. They possessed the football for the entire game. Didn't get much going on the ground, uh, and just I'm not really seeing it with Deshaun Watson, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if we see the Baltimore team that we saw yesterday against Seattle or we saw against Detroit, they could potentially win by double digits. I wouldn't be surprised if this line ended up closes at six and a half years. So I think it's a good spot of five and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been impressed with the Ravens. No J.K. Dobbins, no problem. Gus Bus, Keaton Mitchell. I do want to say that I remember like seven, eight weeks ago, I want to say a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two or week three, Emory, you said keep an eye, and this is when, uh, Keaton was obviously on injured reserve still. You told everyone to keep an eye on Keaton Mitchell. Uh, so yeaah, impressive call. Certainly looked great. Add another dimension of speed, uh, to that Ravens backfield, uh, that they've been missing. So, good call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prior to this year and now all three are just absolutely balling out. Robert Woods with the injury. Brown just steps in and just immediately just popping off with triple digits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Double team more than any wide receiver in the NFL. So when you have someone like T Higgins, opposite of him, who's playing at a high level, able to get loose down the field, obviously gives them another number one wide receiver in that offense. So, uh, both these guys is playing at a high level. Can't wait for this matchup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real quick, I did want to point out though, as far as, uh, Aaron Jones is concerned, Matt LaFleur talked about turning him loose and he did give him a large workload and he did start to resemble the Aaron Jones we all know and love. So I think the hamstring injury might finally be, uh, in the, in the mirror, the back mirror. And yeah, it looks like he's fully healthy finally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's going on, but yeah, it's not turning around and it's not changing that much. Uh, I think it's fair to, fair to assume at this point. Yeah, just Bijan's usage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only do they have elite talent at the position, but they've invested three top 15 picks in consecutive years in these guys and just not utilizing them whatsoever to me is just, uh, unforgivable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the lines quite a bit as well, Brince, and I definitely completely agree with your assessment regarding jumping on them sooner rather than later based on what happens tonight. I do want to say I think the under is also going to play, as Emory mentioned, this Chargers run defense has actually been fairly solid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the last five weeks, I definitely have to give some credit there. One thing I am interested to see is Lions coming out of the buy, likely with a healthy David Montgomery. Jameer Gibbs looked absolutely fantastic and dynamic in his absence. How are those backfield touches?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allocated, uh, cause Jameer Gibbs needs to have a significant role on this offense for them to reach their potential.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need the sports news anywhere. We've got breaking news to bring you. Then get your sports anytime you want them. Big trade news overnight to discuss. Because we know you need sports all the time. A lot of movement in the rankings this week. A legend adds to their legacy. We're bringing you that breaking news right here on HQ. CBS Sports HQ, anywhere, anytime, all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four, three to four minutes left in the game because it's such a blowout. We started the show early and uh, Sunday night football is focusing on three minutes left in the game. Sunday football is focusing on John Lynch, high-fiving everyone on the bench because he already got down to the sideline is the 49 to 49 GM. Obviously Kyle Shanahan still grinding out there, but it's 42 to 10. This is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, to me, what this game is, isn't about a failure of the Cowboys offense or the Cowboys defense. It's about the 49ers letting the Cowboys know that there's an upper echelon of NSC teams and that you're going to need to stand in the line and give the bouncer $20 if you want to come in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause the only people allowed in otherwise from a, from the VIP, from the VIP line where you bypass the bouncer, you bypass all the jabroni standing up front, trying to get in the club. The only teams allowed in are the Niners, the Eagles and the Detroit Lions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two real quick follow ups here. One, um, I mentioned that this was, well, I, in my quarterback tears, I did this all season. I had, I got caught so much crap for putting Dak below Daniel Jones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like the whole thing was you had to read the tears. I didn't think Dak was worse than Daniel Jones. I just put Dak in the same ceiling as the other guys who had like a ceiling. Like you were not going to get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you just know who Dak is, and you know what Dak's gonna be, and you know what Dak is gonna do for the entire season. Like, but you, you, you don't feel like there's some untapped upside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like for, for instance, like with Daniel Jones before the season, we didn't know what Daniel Jones would be. He might stink. He might take a, he might take a leap. Similarly, like, but, but Dak, Dak is like decent for decent ceiling. And that's where we are. And I also think like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the other thing I was going to mention too that I forgot was that this was like a sneaky Kyle Shanahan revenge game against Dan Quinn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause like Kyle Shanahan took all the blame for that Falcon Super Bowl loss. And like, he definitely believes that Dan Quinn's defense coughed up enough points to let the Patriots come back. And he just dropped a 40 burger on Dan Quinn's face. But I think if you're the Cowboys, you were, you were very much in pick up the pieces method. You're three and two. You're fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you do feel like you're a playoff team because the NFC is such is just, you know, sort of staggered in a way that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You feel like you're in a good shape, but there are some surprising teams popping up with the Buccaneers or the Rams. And at the same time, you, you're like, okay, we're a playoff team, but how, how are we like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I think that you walk away with this game as a, as a member of the Cowboys wondering, are we good enough to compete with the best teams in our conference and actually make it to the Superbowl, which is the goal we had before the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, by the way, if you told Cowboys fans before this game, you held, uh, Chris McAfee to 2.7 yards per carry and 27 receiving yards. Do you think that they'd be like, Oh, that's cool. We lost 42 to 10. I mean, my God, it'd be thrilled. They'd be like, what do we lose?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess, I guess the score is like 13 to 10 us. Like, no, you actually scored 10 and they scored 42. Rock party, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's just, he might be Tom Brady 2.0. Like, I mean, like where, I don't mean that in the sense of like, he's gonna be the greatest quarterback ever to play football, just that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has this innate ability to hit the throws he needs to hit. He understands Kyle Shanahan's offense perfectly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only, the only question we had about the 49ers coming this season was can Brock Purdy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be a good enough quarterback. And the only reason we asked it was we have a small sample size result of what he'd done and he suffered a UCL injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the issue was like, that's Tommy John. We don't know what's going to happen with that. Um, we don't, we just don't know. Like there were a lot of interceptable passes last year and he's still been lucky this year, but he just has this like a nosh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, he has like the it factor and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he plays the way he's played for the first five weeks of the season over the course of an entire year, um, he will one be in the MVP discussion and two like, yes, they could run the table, but I don't think they will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, I'm curious to see how the Jaguars look after two weeks in London.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adjusting to being in London and then coming back to America with no bi-week and trying to readjust to that, that time, that time schedule. And I think it's in Indy. So that, that'll be, uh, I was in Jacksonville. Sorry. Yeah. So that's, that's better. I guess by from a, you get home, you don't have to travel somewhere else schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but that, that game to me will be interesting, especially Gardner mentioned revenge game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Following the science according to Sean. I mean, Harry, toss a graphic up again of the last two times that the bills have been in London.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying it's like, look at this. You lose nine to six against the Jaguars in 2021, Allen's 31 to 47, zero touchdowns, three picks this year. You lose 25 to 20, Allen's 27 to 40, throws three touchdowns and has a pick. And like, I don't know that I, but I think that like watching this game, my takeaway was Buffalo


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks like, Buffalo looks like a team. It'd be like if, it'd be like if you're like, are the Bills and Jaguars are playing on a neutral field, but the Bills have to take Thailand LPMs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the, and the Jaguars just looked like a team that was well adjusted to it. I was thinking the Jag, look Tuno in London is huge for the Jaguars. They're in a really good spot. We'll talk about the AFC Southmoor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think that for me the big takeaway is I'm not going to panic on this, but I do worry about some of the Bills injuries on defense that are sort of mounting up because that defense has been the number one defense by DVOA according to, uh, FTN fantasy, I guess, which is where Aaron Schatz is now, uh, throughout the first four weeks of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's, that's, that's, and Michael Hyde's banged up, Trudevius White, Achilles injury. I mean, like, that's some major, major injuries for a Bills defense that is like, that defense makes it, the Bills, one of the best teams in the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I think that's the positive spin that you put on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you, you as a three point road favorite beat Josh Dobbs and beat the Cowboys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The brinson verse coach where i'm representing the pick six podcast and currently getting my ass kicked and he had the cardinal so that's a good flip i'm i think i love i like the bingles this week a lot i had them in one of my best bets on the on the bet show on thursday i'm just saying that like i think here's my concern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bengals railroaded the Rams a few weeks ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was a job where they were owned to and Joe burrow goes, we have to win this game is a must win game. We cannot lose this game. And he comes out, they play great. And then what happened the next week? They got dog stalled by the Titans. And then this week they're playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This week they're playing, they're playing the, they're playing the Cardinals, by the way, who are supposed to be the worst team in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're starting Josh jobs, lose James Connor, really don't have a whole lot in terms of their roster. And the Bengals win 34-20 on the road. Look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Burrow also said the same thing. We cannot lose this game. This is a must win game. We have to win this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my concern is, is there a letdown versus Seahawks? And if there is, do the Bengals then fall to two and four going to the buy? Like this is good. You won, you look good. Optimism reigns supreme. But if you lose to the Seahawks in week six and go into your buy two and four with the Niners and the Bills coming out of the backside, you kind of in a bad spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So currently as it, as it stands, the Steelers are in first place in the North.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ravens are a wild card. See the six seed is a wild card at three and two. The Colts at three and two are the fifth seed and the bills are three and two is a seventh seed. Cleveland, LA, Houston, Tennessee, the jets, and then the Bengals. Yeah, they're right in the mix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the issue I have with the Ravens is that it feels like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What they're doing on offense is purposely intended to get away from Lamar Jackson running the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that's what Greg Roman did and try to be this Todd Monkin air raid system without incorporating. Like so Todd Monkin's brother, Jeff Monkin is the head coach at army and runs a triple option. Like, why aren't you running like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some triple option and running some aerate and just blending them together like aerate is basically a passing version of the triple option because the you have one guy who has three decisions to make with like in the in the in the triple option is handoffs in the area and it's the same routes that you're running every single time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that they are like so focused on Lamar Jackson not being a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not being a running quarterback because they hired this new OC and gave them all this money that they're like kind of limiting themselves offensively instead of like, like make Lamar Jackson this massive threat as a run, as a runner. So teams creep in and then you can go up top on them. Like it, I just, I think that they're like, it's like a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Accidental hampering of their offense. And yeah, like credit the Sears defense. They kept him in this man. I mean, I think CBS, I think it was iron eagles on this call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we cut to Matt Canada more times than NBC cut to Taylor Swift on Sunday night. He just kept going to these Matt Canada, like office, like coaching box spots. And he's just like rubbing his forehead, bald forehead. And I just, he's like, ah,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is really can't figure out what to do. And then lo and behold, the Steelers block a punt, get the ball back. Uh, and, and all it could have been a touchdown. I mean, Kenny Pickens clutch. I didn't steal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. I think, see, I think he, there's a gamer who like, it's not going to be the throw pickings are sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think the odds, and I'm looking up right now, so I don't know the exact answer, but I'm gonna check. What do you think the odds are for, uh, to win the AFC North?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dog and breach for the bingles not being very good. Five to one of the bingles who are game back in first place. Give it, gimme, gimme. With a buy coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I wouldn't, I don't, if the big ones are minus 125, I wouldn't bet it, but five to one, and they like beat the Seals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think, I think that they should be somewhere, I think it should be like plus 250, not five to one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's saying, uh, why don't we, you know, let me, I got, I, I'll, I'll take this with Wilson, the Patriots, not only, and I said this on a short that we created.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dynasty, if it wasn't dead, it's dead now. It is six feet in the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bill Belichick has lost four games in his career as Patriots coach by 30 points or more. Two of them have it in the last two weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen so much Bailey Zappi. He might as well be young Sheldon on CBS at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, Mac Jones is pressing, Bill O'Brien is not calling good plays. There's a bunch of injuries to guys like Matt Judon, et cetera. And the Patriots defense, they like, dude, it's one thing you go to, you go to Dallas and you get your ass kicked by the Cowboys. All right. That's a good team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you bring Derek Carr with a busted wing back to New England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And get skunked 34-0 by the Saints who everyone was like, well, are we sure that this Saints team isn't terrible? This is the largest home shutout loss in Patriots history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the largest shout out loss in Bill Belichick's career as a head coach. This is my question for you. Ryan is Bill Belichick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The head coach of the new and the Patriots in week one, 2024.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, he can, do you, when you, of that 80%, what percent is he's retired and what percent is he's currently?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh dude, what if Belichick coaches the Chargers? Like he goes against Herbert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's like, he's like, do you know what I will do with this defense? And he's like, and I'm going to bring in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I would leave Kellen Moore there. I mean, but yeah, that's, I think that's, I think that's very interesting. Um, I, I tend to agree with you that there's a very good chance that Belichick is not the coach of the Patriots in 2024. Um, I think everybody involved wants him to break


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Don Sula's record with the Patriots, but if he, if he, if Belichick took over the Chargers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next year, he would break Don Zula's record in two years, with a patronage of maybe five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hiring like, like dumping their coach to hire Bill Belichick if he left the Patriots after this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. So let's say, let's say hypothetically that Andy Reed is like, you know what? I am just tired of coaching Patrick Mahomes in this offense. I kind of want to go like open a mac and cheese shop, like an artisanal mac and cheese shop in, uh, Piscataway, New Jersey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He leaves the Chiefs, he goes to Piscataway, he opens up the Artisanal Mac and Cheese shop. The Chiefs have an open job. Everyone wants the Chief's job because Patrick Mahomes is the quarterback. He's locked down, you got Kelsey, you got a pretty good defense, you got enough weapons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bill Belichick, Mike Tomlin, and Mike Vrabel all put their applications in breach. Who did the, who did the Patriots pick? I mean, who did the Chiefs pick?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Break, break, break. Let's take a break and when we come back, Wilson will tell us what's next!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do agree with the, the idea that the offense hasn't been great. Like you feel like the, the Hertz passing attack hasn't been what it was last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you know, you look at the stats though, and then you're like, well, that's weird. Uh, AJ Brown, 127 receiving yards Dallas got 117, um, on 14 total targets. Got it. Had a touchdown as well. And then Hertz was their leading rusher. 15 carries, 72 yards. Uh, Deandre Swift, 17 for 70. And they came with game well, seven for 17, nothing like the right home about, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One, I think this Rams team is better than people give them credit for. And two, I don't know, this, this felt like the Rams brought their best effort for this game at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And were they leading it? Were they leading it? Half? Yeah, they were up 14, nothing, no, excuse me. The Eagles had that touchdown. Oh man, this is a crazy, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Eagles were in field goal range down 14 to 10. And we're clearly going to kick a field goal, but with seven seconds left, the way that the things played out, they get the ball with the first down first and goal on the like seven or eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With seven seconds left. Throw it in the end zone, get past interference. There's two seconds left, so you have one play remaining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Greg Olson and Kevin Burkhardt are completely agreed. There's no chance they don't do the brotherly shove slash tush push right there were two seconds left at the half to go up 17 10. And it feels like that kind of flipped the game because they got it. Obviously it's an unstoppable play at this point with what they do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's like, I feel like the Rams brought their a game and the Eagles still just had too much for them. You know, it felt a little bit like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Niners Cowboys where you've got this team that's like, yeah, yeah, we're involved in this NFC battle too, but they show up and then they're like, we just don't have enough firepower to play with these guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the next tier is like Lions, Cowboys, Seahawks. But way down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They did, they did win today without Fletcher Cox though, which is pretty impressive. Jordan, Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real, real quick, we'll just, I think we should move on because we're like halfway through. We said we were moving faster, but shout out to Howie Roseman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Jason Kelsey is going to retire. They're going to have, it won't be as good, but they will have a succession plan for him. Linda Dickerson can move over. Uh, the guy behind him, Kelsey talks about is really good and the coaching, the offensive line is excellent. And then defensively Fletcher Cox is going to retire. They're going to have Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter. Like those two dudes are a problem in the middle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. Here's my lion's hot take. I think if I were repicking it right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lions, we've talked about this at length, are built in Dan Campbell's image. They're built through the trenches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The offensive line is stout. The defensive line is stout. Aiden Hutchinson is a freak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like talk about it all the time. Like, Hey, Trent Bocchi, maybe you shouldn't have been so mad at Jim Harbaugh and just drafted the best player. Uh, it just happened to be coached by him at number one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The offensive, the run, David Montgomery is like a revelation for this team. Josh Reynolds is playing awesome. Sam Laporta is making people forget that they traded TJ Hockinson, who's a stud, and Jared Goff, were it not for Jalen Hurts, would be the best quarterback in the NFC right now. And I think- He's better than Jalen Hurts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could argue that Jalen Hurts is the best quarterback in the NFC right now. That would not, that maybe that's the hot take. Uh, this Detroit Lions team, like let's think about their season here. They have, uh, week one, pretty Kansas city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With all the expectations, you're playing the defending Super Bowl champions, there's really no reason that you, you know, you're not, you're a seven, you're a touchdown underdog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. They take care of business against the chiefs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe this is the real Detroit Lions. Well, they buckle right back down and stomp the Falcons a week three. Like not really stomp, like snuff the Falcons out.
