[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I would say he would be one that I would definitely, uh, lean into. Um, it's, it's a shame because I feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the way people talk about Leatu Latu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they act as if he's not going to be a top 10 pick. So is, is the football side of me is glad to see the odds very small. Cause that kind of says, okay, maybe he's in play for Chicago or someone like that. Um, or even Tennessee who needs a pass rusher as well. Uh, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, the best odds would either be Foshanu or Fataanu, uh, Fashanu or Fataanu right there, um, at tackle. Cause whoever starts, whoever takes the first receiver, we'll see a run on receivers, right? Whoever takes the first tackle, we'll see a run on tackle. So if we're banking on a guy going fifth and Joe out, that means


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tennessee needs a tackle. Giants, you could convince them they need an alignment, they need a lot of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the Falcons can get younger and a little bit more talent, uh, at, at tackle. You know, that, that's a case to be made there. Uhm, and the Jets could potentially use a tackle. So we'll probably see a run on maybe one or two tackles after ult is taken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a SAGs driven award, man. And I feel like what's also unique about it is that it's a sense of timing type of award too. Cause people are creatures of habit. We tend to, you know, remember what we saw last. And if you remember only big moments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In prime time games, I'm thinking Jared verse will have those splash plays because he had them at Florida state. And so even though I'm a big fan a lot to use my number one edge rusher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Burst has better value here because he has a great sense of timing of knowing when to make the big play. And we all know how we all are watching prime time games and watching everyone, the moments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This dude always sends us show up in the moments and I feel like that's going to give him, even though he may have lesser sacks than a lot to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the moments are what people are gonna remember and they're gonna lean on that when they vote for work of the year. So I think he'll get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like the football side will, will, will reign, will get itself right and stop overdraft in quarterback. So I feel like the over is a good value here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Minnesota at 11, if they value him as the 11th best player in the class, they won't have to move because anything higher than


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my opinion, second round is, is way overpriced. Uhm, so I will say over. I, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Folks will have to understand that, or will have to let cooler heads prevail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And draft first round talents in the first round. I'm hoping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think his, obviously there's that trio of, of, of stack that need quarterbacks that right now as they sit, Vikings, Raiders and Broncos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that would be his floor within 11 to 13. Um, because I can't see, uh, I mean, when you talk, I'm old school. When you say top five, I always reference the 1989 draft of Aikman, Barry Sanders, Dion Sanders, Derek Thomas. You don't want to be the Tony managers in the situation, but when you look at those, uh, those four, those five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, that's a top five. I don't feel like McCarthy is of that caliber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, specifically he fits the Raiders. So that's what pick 14.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get a team that tries to, you know, play both sides of the fence, double dip like the giants. Hey, we're at six. Let's take an elite level receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's double back in the first round to get a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we can see help us out at QB that can get him the ball down the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's an option, like him, somebody trading back into the first round. I think Penix goes around pick 28.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To 31, not to the teams that are currently sitting at 20 to 31, but I feel like that's where we'll see Michael Penn. It's almost like a Lamar Jackson situation where Baltimore jumped back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at pick 32 and robbed him. So I will go over here cause I feel like he'll go first round, but it'll be late and somebody will trade back into the first to get him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't and I think he, I think the over is super juiced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because of it, but I just, I would probably stay away from this one. I think he's more of a second round talent and that's fine. Listen, Andy Dalton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Colin Kaepernick, we've seen second round quarterbacks, you know, get drafted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I think that's where, you know, we've seen way too much of Bo Nicks at Auburn to try to, you know, forget where we just watched that at Oregon. It's a different situation with Michael Pennix at Indiana. We saw him be a reason why Indiana was in a lot of those games. They're not a football factory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But being a football factory at Auburn and seeing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why they was losing some of those games is hard to erase that. I think teams will kind of still, you know, penalize Bo Nicks for that. So I see him as more of a second round guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Team to keep an eye on is a team we hadn't seen in the first round in a while, and that's the Rams. Stafford can't play forever, so that would be one tricky spot where a quarterback can go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What makes it tricky is the fact that we don't know what the Cardinals are going to do. We, we are under the assumption that the, I mean not the Cardinals, the Chargers. We under the assumption that the Chargers will, I mean the Cardinals will take a receiver. Cool. But Chargers need a receiver. The Giants need a receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Tennessee kind of, even though they need offensive line help, there's never a downside to add more talent around your young quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Falcons could even double dip and get another receipt like so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could literally see the run on receivers start right after the third quarterback or fourth quarterback is taken. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a tough one, man. It seems easy on the surface. I agree with RG. I feel like the Jets are ideally the spot for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I mean, it puts it, it puts it tough in play. This was probably one pick. I would probably lean more him being a top 10 pick than, than decide whether or not to go over or under eight and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I've been sending all along that Harbaugh is a wild card. He could take him at five. I would also keep an eye out for Tennessee. You know, I know they have Chigga Conquo, but again, the best friend to a young quarterback is another safety valve at tight end, especially one that can take a short pass a long way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they need another playmaker. Daniel Jones is not the deep vertical threat passer. Uh, Drew Locke is. We'll see if they're giving them honest, uh, honest competition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But man, this is, this is another tough one because you can see hardball taking him at five, doing a hardball thing. Um, and you could also see him going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a, is, is one of the odds. I will take that as opposed to trying to pick where he's going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a lot too, absolutely. For Turner, your question is whether or not he's better than Jared Verst. And I think a lot of teams may have Verst ahead of Turner. So I will take the over, even though it's juice at minus 135. I feel like Verst will catch some steam and make some grounds, especially stacking back to back strong years at Florida State.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Emory, do you view that same way? I view it the same logic, but I'm going to the other side. I feel like because you have a defensive minded head coach and special teams will be the focus, coverage units is going to be huge. So I will go linebacker plus 700. Okay, Proppy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, Katie, if you, uh, watch the show, listen to the show, you'll know that we have been down on the beautiful Bellagio sets all week long out on the fountains. Uh, we're not there right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're basically technically in the Eiffel Tower. Uhm, we're near the Eiffel Tower I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, uh, during, uh, we had a, we had a Tuesdays with Brady show that we, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was supposed to sign off for Joe Biden. Okay, see if I was curious. Just to confirm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna, I was gonna, I was gonna throw out one, one more thing just before we get started. Uhm, I do a, you know, Super Bowl squares, very popular. Uhm, I'm in a Super Bowl squares thing with a group of my friends where, uhm, instead of the traditional, you know, in the first quarter you get X, in the second quarter you get X, it's for every second,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, as the clock is ticking, so like, in other words, if you get zero zero,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the part that bugs me, and this is whatever, because ultimately it doesn't matter who's on what side. It's the Super Bowl. Everybody's betting it. If you see betting trends like, uh, this percent of the public money's on this, or this, that doesn't matter. It's the Super Bowl. Billions of dollars are wagered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they have the better roster. I think that if you, if these two teams played, uh, once a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they probably don't win two of the last three because the Niners aren't playing as well as they did early in the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Kyle Shanahan's game plans have been very questionable the last two weeks. Uh, you know, he came out, he had Devo saying he was leaning into Devo Samuel against the Packers. Devo gets hurt, has to completely readjust. And then he was really trying to force Christopher Caffrey last week. Now, maybe they come out with a Devo game plan and Devo's healthy and it works. I think they can score points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have the best offensive play caller, maybe, maybe in the history of football. If Andy Reid, I mean, Andy Reid's tracking that way. And.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I just think that Mahomes is going to do Mahomes stuff and the Chiefs are going to find a way to win. So I'll take the Chiefs, uh, plus two and a half, uh, to be safe. But I think I would take the Chiefs money line as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ain't Demyka Ryans, he ain't Robert Salah. And that defense is not the same as it was four years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All turtles allowed here. We're just going to pick one, your full game alternate, half turtle, quarter turtle, team turtle, whatever you want. Um, I will start, I think I will not be alone in this one and I'm going to take the first half under.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really care what the number is. I think, I think it's a slow starting game. I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one concern that I have about this is that you see both coaches script really well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that the teams come out and execute early. We saw Mahomes start 11 over 11 against a great Ravens defense. Excuse me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, since other people have the first half under, I will, I will, I will foot this and say, I'm going to take the second half under and then I'll let you, Katie, take the first half under if you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would take first half and I think the reason why is that if, and this is predicated on the idea that the Chiefs, no, no, no, I would take, I think there's gonna be more points in the first half than the second half. I think it's a low scoring game. I really do. And I think, dude, the Chiefs second half unders are money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. I'm going to do the polar opposite of what we talked about not doing. I'm going to try and get back into this thing. I'm going to chase and I'm going to, I'm going to go against that. This is not correlated to any of the other stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patrick Mahomes. Exactly 5 touchdowns. 5 passing touchdowns. 48 to 1. That's where we're going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking at it on FanDuel right now, exactly 5, 47 to 1, I see exactly 4 at 11 to 1. So, uh, whatever, yeaah, whatever, it varies by state, like you get different odds by state, so obviously shop around. The FanDuel, whatever the FanDuel I'm looking at, says 47 to 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just me even, me even looking at it, cause it to drop from 48 to 1 to 47 to 1. This could be down to 5 to 1 by the time the game kicks off for all we know. Uh, it's probably not going to happen. It's a long shot. It's a Super Bowl. Have fun. If it hits, I get 48 units and leave you suckers in the dust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's also correlated to my bold prediction of, uh, Travis Kelsey having three receiving touchdowns and, uh, performing three Taylor Swift related touchdown celebrations. So, uh, all of these things go hand in hand. We got the heart. Uh, he's going to do a one and a three or a one and a three, and then he's going to do the kissing the bicep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five touchdowns. Certainly. And obviously if you bet that, go ahead and take him to Winn-D-T. Might get there if you would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you, I mean look, you are nothing if not on brand, you love the NC State Wolf Pack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're taking former NC State standout receiver Markins Bowden Scantling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, there's diamond. He has a diamond MBS. And then a diamond heart, like, I don't know what the necklace is. I mean, they're like, they're not, they don't hang lower. They hang right here. You open it up. Giant MBS in all diamonds. Beautiful stuff. Uh, RJ, what do you have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going, uh, over Christopher Caffrey receptions, four and a half. It's minus one 22 now. I think it was actually three and a half earlier in the week, which was crazy to me. If you believe that the chiefs are going to win and I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and, and you believe that Chris Jones can, can cause problems, uh, and that Steve Spagnolo, who by the way, blitzed 50 plus percent of the time last week against Lamar Jackson. I don't think he'll do that this week per se, uh, because you know, this Divo can kill you and, and, and, but I mean, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clearly prefer three and a half to four and a half, but I like the over on Christian McCaffrey receptions here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kyle loves to run the ball in the red zone and down by the goal line. Christopher Caffrey, number one in red zone carries this year. Uh, top, I think number two in carries inside the 10 and then top five and carries inside the five. But if, if the Chiefs are stacking things up, you may see them sort of switch things up and, and dump it off to McAfee down by the goal line as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christian McCaffrey anytime touchdown because it's minus 230. However, you are a clever person. You found a way to get a Christian McCaffrey anytime touchdown that I frankly, I'm not even mad. I'm amazed to quote the great Ron Burgundy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of which, since my name is Will, I will go ahead and throw mine out. I'm taking Travis Kelsey. Anytime. Touchdown. Minus 105. This is my favorite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta say like this year for whatever reason, like I've done a bunch of radio hits and people are like, what's your favorite prop that I'm like, it's not very sexy. It's just Travis Kelsey to score a touchdown at any time at minus 105.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen even money in some spots. Um, you know, five cents here, five cents there, yada, yada, yada. Uh, look, Travis Kelsey is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's one of the two best offensive skill position guys in this game, between him and CMC. And he's maybe the greatest tight end of all time, when it's all said and done. He's trending that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christian McCaffrey, method of first touchdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, it's no touchdown. If he doesn't score, you lose the bet because no touchdown is plus 150, but rushing touchdown method of first touchdown, Christopher Caffrey minus 115. I don't hate that. Like, I feel like they're going to give him the ball, you know, running the ball down by the goal line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're, I think they will attack Chris, Chase Sean and that they will make sure that Nick Bosa doesn't beat him. The other thing about Bosa, if he sacks you, he is pretty likely to strip that ball out and they do not want that to happen. So I will say Bosa, no sack for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the biggest game of the year. Super Bowl 58 on CBS. Two legendary franchises square off. When the unstoppable 49ers take on the Chiefs. We have their sights set on back to back championships. Live coverage begins at 1130 a.m. Eastern. Right up to kickoff. Super Bowl 58, February 11th on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus. More props.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the, uh, that was the, uh, that was the, uh, Tom Brady beat, uh, the, uh, leading in the Super Bowl. Um, RJ and I were doing a prop show the day of the Super Bowl and I was, uh, I was sweating 200 grand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds good RJ. I was like staring off at the waste management. Uh, Sunday action. I'm going to go with Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes. The first player to reach


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, it's not like it happened. These are long shots. But my home's taking off and running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That George Kendall first touchdown score though, 11 to 1 is a really good number for him. Uh, particularly like, you know, how, how much focus would be on Debo and Christian McCaffrey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two to one. Isaiah Pacheco, 30 plus rushing yards in each half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up, podcast surprise. No, this is not Will Brinson with a slightly deeper voice and a Boston accent. It's Tyler Sullivan as your host will under the weather from Vegas and or still getting the hair plugs of the Nickelodeon slime out of his hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will be driving the bus for you today. And alongside, I have some great, great co-pilots, Brady Quinn and Leejay Doosable. Doosday's with Brady. I think I'm contractually obligated to say what's going on guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like the slime bounced off his head a little bit, I thought it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, brinson hair, slime apparently do not mix, but let me tell you this episode of the pick six podcast is presented.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do want to give the NFL and CBS a nice little pat on the back as we look back on this Super Bowl one last time. It was the most watched Super Bowl of all time. And not only that Super Bowl 58 was the most watched television show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'll tell you this real quickly. You mentioned the Swifties. It was a huge increase in women that watched the game. It was plus 9% year over year. And then when you go from women age 18 to 34, it was about a 6% increase year over year. So that, that certainly at least had to play a factor. One other thing that I thought was interesting was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was multiple different streams of this game. Obviously it was on CBS. You could watch it on Paramount Plus and we had a Nickelodeon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alternative broadcast and those alternate broadcast didn't seem to cannibalize each other at all, which Brady kind of made me think. Obviously we have other alternative broadcast. Do you think we're going to see even more of that now that we are seeing that it's not really hurting the overall main product?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it is kind of crazy though, you know, there's so many, like you guys are mentioning, there's just so many different things to watch nowadays that it does feel like the Super Bowl though is still that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tempol moment in a calendar year where everybody or at least most people sit down and watch something, which I, it just grows increasingly more rare as we go along because there's just so many other options that other people watch. We don't really have that opportunity to sit down and watch something as a community, as a culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I still try to put my finger on what exactly, why the Superbowl still has that staying power. Do you guys have any sort of theory as to why that is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that there was one where I think there was a theory out there that if they go to another week's schedule, if they go to like an 18 game schedule,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you could push it out to maybe like, what is it, President's Day? And you give that everybody the day off or something along those lines. But that's always been kind of floated around. But you know, next year, the Super Bowl is in New Orleans. It's on Fox. That is going to be, again, New Orleans is a great host city. Vegas was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well, but how does the NFL top itself? How, you know, can it's, it's tough, right? Because the NFL has to hope for a great matchup like they got this year and nobody saw the Taylor Swift thing coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I think you're right. I think if, if Kansas City's going for like a three-peat or something like that, then sure, I think that's probably a boost. But, and I was curious too, and, and real, just real quickly, we'll put a pin in this, but I thought that it was going to be interesting in terms of fatigue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we're going from the Thanksgiving to Black Friday to Sunday football to Monday night football, I did kind of feel it a little bit, but I don't know if it was enough for, to get a real good sense of all that, but that, that remains to be seen. I do want to touch though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we look forward to this off season, we're going to go in a couple of different angles, but I do want to look at one possible rule change. And LeJay, I think you're going to be a great resource for this is the hip drop tackle. I think that that's something that owners are going to look at and it's been a hot button issue and it could be a potential rule change this year. Could you tell us kind of take a step by step?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is a hip drop tackle? Why is it being talked about as this dangerous play? And just give us your quick thoughts on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's a great point and it's something that kind of reminds me of what happened this year and it's something that's kind of been highlighted recently. It's tough for defensive players already. And then when you start to implement these types of rules,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just has you think about 50 other different things other than making the play. And one thing that I noticed this year was the quarterback almost faking like they're about to slide and then stay up. Like Josh Allen did it. I know Kenny Pickett did it at Pitt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kind of the example that I keep going back to here to be like, okay, you can alter these rules so much, but then all of a sudden these offensive players might start to take advantage of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's the league stuff. You know, I think it's going to be interesting to see how all those things kind of play out, but we gotta take a quick break. When we come back, we're going to go a little bit more into player movement and all of that stuff that could change the NFL by the time we get there in week one of the 2024 season coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the pick six podcast and we just touched a little bit upon, you know, defensive players versus offensive players. We're going to transition now into more of the offensive side. Cause we, we do know that this league is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take the temperature about what these situations could actually unfold. First up, we're going to go to Denver. We're going to look at Russell Wilson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] End of his season was bench for Jared Stidham. It was, it was contract related because there was a clause in his deal where if he got hurt, they'd owe him some guaranteed money and all of that. But now we're starting to wonder whether or not, will he get cut? Will he get traded? Will he stay with Denver Leger? We'll start with you. What do you think the fate is for Russell Wilson this offseason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Week one, Russell Wilson is the starting quarterback for blank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I think, you know, Russell Wilson, Atlanta or Pittsburgh. I think those are two really intriguing landing spots. I think it's a great one. But now you talked about the NFL draft there. Let's just go all the way up to the number one overall pick with Chicago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should they draft Caleb Williams at number one or build around Justin Fields? It's, it's probably one of the most talked about questions going into this off season. Luje, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, it's a great point because, I mean, just look at the team that's number two overall in the Western Commanders. Their new offensive coordinator, Cliff Kingsbury, obviously was with him at USC. That would make a lot of sense. One thing that I do think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we don't necessarily know with these quarterbacks. I mean, we, we saw the 49ers trade up for Trey Lance thinking that that was going to be a great thing. That was the swing and the miss. It's such, it's so hard to figure out what these quarterbacks are going to be. Are you ever surprised that you don't see like a team like Chicago take Caleb Williams and just keep Justin Fields and have them Duke it out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the last quarterback that I want to touch on here is Tuatanga Bailoa. He's obviously up for a contract in, I think he's a quarterback that's going to kind of be in a hairy situation a little bit, it almost feels like. Especially last year, there was questions that whether or not they were even going to pick up his fifth year option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LeJay, what do you think is a reasonable contract? Is this just the, is he just the next man up so he gets the highest paid contract or is there a little bit more nuance to it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I would, I would agree with that. And even if he does land a huge extension, I think it's going to be, like you said, north of Daniel Jones, north of Gino Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I almost feel like you'll hear a huge number and then like the two days later when the actual numbers come out and the guarantees and all of that, you'll say, okay, they can actually maybe get out of this in two, three years and with, with certain maneuvers and all of that. But I want to put a pin on the quarterback talk because again, there's other stuff that we want to talk about here. This obviously doesn't as well. Uh, first and foremost,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Kansas City Chiefs. They just won their third Super Bowl in five years. They are the team that clearly has the target on their back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who do you think is their biggest challenger and who do you think, or I should say, how do you topple this team? Like, you know, is it even possible to take this team down, Brady?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if we do open it up to the NFC, I'm curious to see your guys opinion on the Eagles because it's an off season where it felt like for a minute that Nick Sirianni was certainly on the hot seat and obviously they redone the coordinator positions. How do you feel that that's going to impact them this season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sticking with coaching, obviously the head coaching cycle is done. Real quick, one word answer, you just pick the guy, you tell me which new coach is going to have the most success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's, that's where I would go as well. All right. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we're going to give you some storylines that could be flying under the radar that will highlight. And also of course it's Valentine's day. So we got to, you know, tis the season, give you some, some treats that we'll get into as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the Pick Six Podcast and we're going over some big storylines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I love, I love the Kurt Cousins angle. I mean, you know, this is a 49ers team that was looking into Tom Brady last offseason. Obviously different circumstance because he didn't know what the status of Brock Purdy was going to be. But I think that that would be, you know, a fascinating addition. But I do think that there's some salary cap implications and that, that one just kind of goes into what I was going to bring up. And I think what's going to go under the radar


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or at least right now is going under the radar. I think this offseason could be dominated by wide receivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Off season, you have Mike Evans hitting free agency, T Higgins hitting free agency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you mentioned Lee Jay, you know, we don't know what's going to happen with AJ Brown, uh, Brandon IU. You have Stefan Diggs possibly getting traded. Justin Jefferson is a great one to point out because he wants to see what Kirk Cousins does reportedly before he makes a decision on a long-term extension. I just think that that position could see some fireworks over the next couple of months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I think that's totally true. I'm really intrigued to see what that team looks like with that defense, with those skill positions, healthy Rogers. I think that they're going to be a legit sleeper in that division. Okay. The pick six off season storyline prediction segment has been brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. Make every moment more. And before we get out of here, of course,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Valentine's day, so we have to do something Valentine's day related. So what we're going to do here is kind of stick to the theme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mine will be Derrick Henry landing with a Super Bowl contender. He's going to hit pre-agency potentially obviously could be hit with the franchise tag with Tennessee, but more likely than not could hit the open market. If he could have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] a Christian McCaffrey like arc where he ends up with a legit Super Bowl contenders, a key cog with that team, whatever it may be. I just think he's a phenomenal player that hasn't been able to shine as bright as he could. And if he gets to a Super Bowl contender, I think the sky's gonna limit for him. I've got one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like all three of those. I think all of them would be a phenomenal development going into 2024. Fellas, thank you for letting me...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six six podcast, and we are coming to you live on tape. I think that's what they used to say in the nineties. Uh, we're in our various hotel rooms. Just got back from opening night, Allegiant Stadium. If you were watching us on TV Sports Stage Q, thank you. Uh, we're gonna do a little quick recap, spin it forward, and that will be it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tomorrow, Tuesday, we'll be live on CBS Sports HQ. 8pm, 9pm Eastern. Just check that out. Will Branson, John Breach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Ryan Wilson, Breach, unfortunately, took off his jacket, take a quick peek there, my monitor's over there. He's not wearing his jacket, so you have to go check Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll watch a replay of opening night. Breach, I think stole the show, Brinson, would you say that? Or our buddy Jordan Bajani, who we work with, won the, uh, the prize for best suit at opening night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's start there, Breach. Let's start with the atmosphere. Things we sort of talked about in HQ. Uhm, so why Jack?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, go watch us on the YouTubes, you can see Devo put up a clip, or go check it out on Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's start here, Breach. Let's start with the fact that when the Chiefs...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 28,000 fans in the stands by the time it was all said and done. Uh, heavily leaning towards the 49ers. What is your explanation, sir, for why that was the case?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, one side of the state of the chief side, if you want to call it that, seemed to be pretty much close to empty by the end, but I will say our set was set up right on the other sideline next to a bunch of 49ers fans who were incessantly loud, uh, to the point that producer Debo wouldn't let his podcast air, but that's something you can, you can tweet Debo at personally. Uh, I'll say this, I'll push back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the same, the same reason I pushed back when we did HQ Brinson about not the apathy, not the disdain as you talked about it, but what about the influx of Swifties now that Travis Kelsey is a part of a Swift nation? Is that a thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is Taylor Swift going to be there? First off, Breach, lay out the logistical concerns and then you and Brits are going to answer whether she's going to be there or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, lens number Wilson, uh, has the number that just came in. You mentioned 44 seconds of your time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the, uh, the last round of the playoffs, the winds over Wilson for air time for Taylor Swift. And you guys have to go over under one minute, five seconds, Brenton over under.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, related storylines coming out of opening night right after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright boys, the 49ers were also there. Uh, we spent a lot of time talking about Taylor Swift because that's uh, that's what we do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I paced the bills, as the kids say, but the 49er fans were certainly considerably louder. Brenton put it at 80-20. I actually had it at 81-19, so it was close. Uh, Brenton, I'll ask you this. How concerned should you be if you're a 49ers fan, and even Kyle Shanahan, about the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stench of not being able to get it done in the biggest moment. She mentioned 1994, last time they won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Shanahan was a ball boy maybe for the Broncos back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so it's been a minute, as the kids say, since the 49ers were able to win a Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was distracted momentarily because I was looking through some pictures and this is one of the ones that I took at first night. Look at this, that's the Jack and John breach head on. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go check it on YouTube, it's insane. And also in the corner there, look at this handsome devil like, hey, where's everybody?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Breach, let me ask you something. I think you told me on the Uber ride back here, or the, we got the ride back here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Princeton, any comments stuck out to you? Funny, weird, unfortunate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breach, what about, uhm, Travis Kelce? I don't know if he told me the punchline when he was asked about the ring situation. What was, what was that exactly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I bring, I bring both those up because we, we know the Chiefs have been to the Throwball frequently, uh, in the Patrick Mahomes slash Andy Reid era. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or as great as it is to get to the sewer bowl, I would imagine...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I get it. All right, we'll wrap on this. Breach, give me your favorite moment from opening night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on one second, Breeze. I'm not done. I'm not done going after Devo. That's two strikes on Devo and we're on a Monday. Keep it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep it up. By the way, and Breach, the words you used I think was musty to describe Casey Wolf, which I think was incredibly accurate. He smelled like a pair of gym socks. So that was all over this year. Go ahead, Breach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and Breach, you get an F- for your biggest, uh, the best thing you saw tonight because it should have been... Suck. Sourdough Sam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well, Brinson, again, this is on the YouTubes or you can check it out. Breach tweeted it out, but I mean, they're spitting image of one another. Same size head. Brinson's head's actually a little bit bigger than sourdough Sam's, but that's a conversation for another time. All right, boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is it, Long Less Brothers. Tomorrow, Tuesday, we will be on CBS Sports Day's Q at 8 p.m. Eastern. So check that out. Me, Brinson, Breach, what are we talking about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bold predictions. I think we joined by Petey Prisco. So check that out. Thank you guys for watching and listening. We will see you guys tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up everybody? Welcome to the pick six podcast, CBS sports NFL podcast. We have an emergency podcast, second hire the coaching cycle and Tony appears to the Las Vegas Raiders. Joining me to break


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Antonio Pierce, interim head coach for the Las Vegas Raiders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hired on a full time basis as of Friday night or Friday afternoon should say it was about four o'clock PM while we're recording this producer Harry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yourself, I, I've, you know, I'm, I'm sitting at home with Robbie and I had to do some TV things, but you and producer Harry rallied you, you threw your kid in the closet, Harry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put his life on hold as well. Shout out to everybody for doing that on these interims and, uh, or excuse me on these emergencies. And now we have Antonio Pierce full-time head coach for the Raiders. I think this is a smart move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Max Crosby, their, I mean their franchise player, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the most important player to their franchise right now, a guy who, uh, is an all pro caliber pass rusher defensive player of the year caliber guy had an insane season once again, flies under the radar a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you don't, you don't see that happening ever in sports where somebody's like, if you don't hire this guy, I'm demanding a trade. And we also had the, you know, really, I think there's the Versace stuff at play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of Joshua Daniels, the team responding to the appears played great. Frankly, if they played like that the entire year, they would have been in the playoffs or in the playoff hunt, like very much in the playoff hunt. And


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Additionally, the Harbaugh, the specter of Jim Harbaugh was lingering out there because Mark Davis did not commit to Antonio Pierce wanted to go through the full search. Um, Jim Harbaugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been talking to the chargers. We'll sort of delve into that more later, but generally speaking, it felt like the Raiders were the other team in on Harbaugh and Mark Davis loves to make a splash higher. Jim Harbaugh would be a big splash higher. Whoever lands him, you're going to think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that team has a big time shot at immediately turning things around based on his track record. And so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do wonder if some of this is finding out in back channels at Harbaugh, like it wouldn't be surprising if Harbaugh got hired by the Chargers in the next 48 hours, 72 hours, whatever it is, maybe Monday, something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying they're settling for Antonia Pierce because I think they're doing the right thing here and hiring the right guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's definitely a little bit reactionary to I think what's happening with Harbaugh and almost certainly what happened with Rich Versace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So look at attorney appears is a career trajectory. It's whole. I mean, I'm not, I'm not one for media media crime here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think Adam Schefter is really good at his job and I'm not trying to dog Adam Schefter or Seth Markman, who's also good at his job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But ESPN, this is a, this is an actual tweet from Schefters. ESPN has become an unofficial training ground for future head coaches. Those who left ESPN for coaching jobs include Bill Parcells. Okay. Uh, Herm Edwards. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Left for Arizona state where you hired Antonio Pierce, actually Kevin O'Connell, very good coach now, but he was there briefly, Jeff Saturday disaster. And now Antonio appears like that's not, I don't know if that's the list I want to be on per se, but I do think, you know, Pierce played from 2001 through 2009. He was undrafted, uh, played at Arizona.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drafted, undrafted, signed to the, signed to the, at the time, the R skins. He is a player with the Giants and I believe, is that word?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, point being is like, I think dudes played with him and do said he was the smartest teammate he's ever had. He coached at long beach poly high school for three years, went and took a job at Arizona state with Herm Edwards and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the time, and I don't know the real, the specifics of this entirely, but in 2021, he was the associate head coach of 2020, 2021 associate head coach and defensive coordinator and was in line to replace Herm Edwards as the head coach of Arizona state. And then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before that could happen, there was some NCAA stuff that went down and he ends up getting hired by the Raiders in 2022. He's there as the linebackers coach and takes over as the interim head coach. Clearly there was some stuff going on with him and Josh McDaniels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think that this is very much a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With smart coaches at the coordinator positions in the coordinator coordinator, defensive coordinator, office coordinator and the position coaches and they can find a quarterback. I don't know. I think the Raiders are really interesting team and I like what he brings through the identity of the Raiders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another chapter in one of the NFL's most epic rivalry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. So breach, I threw a bunch of ifs out there about Antonio Pierce. If they can find a quarterback, if he can hire the right people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, here's the comp I would throw with the Marvin Lewis stuff. Sean McVeigh and Wade Phillips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Sean McVeigh got hired by the Rams, he brought in Wade Phillips as his defensive coordinator so he could...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically say, I want you and I don't, we don't know if Marvin Lewis is going to be the DC or if Marvin Lewis is going to be the senior associate, senior analysts, whatever Marvin Lewis is going to be, but Sean McVeigh brought in Wade Phillips because he was like, I don't know what I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't know how to be a full-time head coach and to deal with all of that that comes with being a CEO. And I don't know how to run a defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so Wade Phillips is the goat, like one of the, one of the greatest of all time defensive coordinators. I'm going to bring him in, let him run the defense. And then, you know, Sean McVay changed how he approached that at that, at that court. But you know, he's had British daily had Raheem Morris, like to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're, if you're in Tony appears, you get this job. You don't need to be like, who's the hottest young name? Who's my buddy who can run the defense? Go get somebody. You know, you trust who's a veteran guy. Marvin Lewis was the coordinator for the Ravens team that won the like the all time great rave, right? Or was it? Hey, was he gone then? And Rex was the coordinator for that one. I can't remember. Anyway, he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marvin Lewis's Defensive Coordinating Chops and Defensive Coaching Chops. 2000 Ravens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Louis Marvin was the DC under Brian Billick, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean like his defensive chops are unquestioned no matter what you think about a stint with the Bengals. And so I think that's a really smart move to bring somebody in who has head coaching experience with, like you said, a family run organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Raiders finished eight and nine, and I believe, I'll give you the fire McDonald's after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow. Okay. Yeah. So they fired after the loss of the Lions, right? So it was mid season. I'm sorry. I said early season. Made it felt a lot earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Yeah. So yeah, he was probably on Halloween. That's right. Good call, Harry. Harry remembers these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harry remembers these emergency podcasts fondly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you're right. He was fired on Halloween cause they lost. They lost on Monday football of the lions. He was fired the next day. Uh, the Raiders would then go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, including get beating the snot out of the chargers are getting British daily fired, losing a one score game to the dolphins, uh, losing to the chiefs at home, beating the chiefs later on the road, losing a three point game to the Colts and, uh, losing a three, nothing game to the Viking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, but now I pointed that out because he goes five and four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were only not in one of the games. I was against Kansas heavy and then they made it up by being the chiefs later. The re the problem is, and I know I haven't looked at Ryan Wilson's latest mock draft, but I saw Daniel Jeremiah of NFL network, put one out today and he has quarterbacks going one, two and three, right? So, um, uh, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The success that Antonio Pierce had as interim coach over nine games, unfortunately allowed them to finish eight and nine, which means that they only have the 13th overall pick. You also have, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Atlanta, Tennessee, the giants. There's just a lot of like, it's going to be really hard to go get a quarterback in the draft. Now they could still do something in free agency. They could run it back with a no Connell and see what they can do. Um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's a, that's a, that's one of the big ifs it's going to be, I think, I don't think this is a, and this is where it gets really interesting with Mark Davis and what you expect out of Antonio Pierce. I don't think this is a, Hey, let's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like let's win big next year, Antonio. I think, I think there, there's definitely some rebuilding that goes into this, you know, with a new GM, new head coach again, there's some rebuilding that goes, that is in play with this, this, this hire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that this is a, I'm not going to say this is an un-serious question, but this is a, I'm asking you this seriously. Is there any chance that they bring in Hugh Jackson too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Kevin Gilbride's probably too old. I'm looking at old offensive coordinators for Antonio Pierce when he played. Drew Jackson was on those, those Washington teams with Marvin Lewis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He traded two first round picks after Al Davis died for Carson Balmer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say, I would, I would say that just on the horrible stuff, I don't want to dive deep into this, but I thought it was notable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jim Harbaugh completed, they did the interviews and then there were several tweets. Schefter and Albert Brewer both tweeted that the chargers had completed an interview with David Shaw and we're now Rooney rule compliant. Like they both had that in the tweet, which is a little interesting because one David Shaw has not made


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It appears if he has any interest in coaching in the NFL or coaching anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the fact that the charters interviewed him and then there were tweets from national reporters saying they're Rudy rule compliant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. It's all the, I'm just saying the timing of that coupled with, okay, we're hiring Antonio Pierce full time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you would want to hire, if you were in the, if you were in the gym hardball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you were the Raiders, you would not want it to leak out. You would not want the Chargers to hire, in the division, the Chargers to hire Harbaugh and have it leak out that Raiders were interested, but the Charger, but Harbaugh picked the Chargers and then they're like, Oh, I guess we'll hire Antonio Pierce. If you're going to, if, if,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you were pursuing Harbaugh at all through back channels, whatever it was, and he ended up going to the chargers and you were in your fallback was into Tony appears. You have to hire Antonio appears before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Chargers announcement is made, which I think is kind of, the whole timing of all this just has my rabbit ears up a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, especially after we had a, was it last off season where it was like literally just Caucasians got hired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or is it, maybe it's two off seasons ago, but you know, it was, it was very much like there are, there were like, there were articles like Peter King wrote an article about it and how it was a problem. Um, and now they have, you know, I think, look, it's good. I mean, you want, um, diversity in hiring policies and, uh, Gerard Mayo and Tony appears look like two good hires to kick off the coaching season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just like the pick six podcast, just like you, me, you wouldn't take Ryan Wilson into battle, but you take producer Harry to battle with you. Um, we're gonna take you out of battle, call the dogs off on this one. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. That's it for the attorney appears has been hired emergency podcast. We're back every time there's a coaching hire or any firings that occur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breach says Gurreners apparently for Breach. I'm Brinton. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. See you guys later.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bell button. If you're listening on any pod various podcast platform, make sure and give us a five star review in the feed. We actually have an emergency podcast from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monday night when breach and I talked about Brian Callahan being hired by the Titans, the Bengals OC, former Bengals OC, and of course our early liens for the championship week. Today we're going to do a divisional round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna look at our division around bowl predictions and do conference championship bowl predictions. But first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers reportedly quote within striking distance on a deal, Pete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this a good move? If this happens and the early buzz is that Greg Roman would be his OC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is an interesting fit with Justin Herbert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Busted out this offense for Lamar Jackson and same thing when he busted out, you know, the Colin Kaepernick offense for the 49ers back in the day and he was there when Alex Smith had his turnaround too. So it's not outrageous to suggest that hardball and Greg Roman could make it work really well with Justin Herbert. But I do think it's fair to like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got it right in front of me, which, uh, so, uh, I was, I mean, I was looking up the, um, first year, 56.3% completion percentage, 2,575 yards, 13 touchdowns, four interceptions as a freshman in 12 games, second year, sophomore, of course. Did he miss a year for injury?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's weird. They haven't listed a sophomore than senior. Bizarre. Um, anyway, he was only there three years, right? Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So second year, 13 games, 70.7% completion percentage, 3,338 yards, 32 touchdowns, eight interceptions. And then his final year, 13 games, 71.3% completion percentage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 3,517 yards, 37 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, um, yards per attempt went down a snug or a smidgen that at 8.7 from 9.0. But I mean, you know, aside from the completion percentages first year, just outstanding stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I would, the only thing I would push back to is that, um, while he does have short shelf lives in most of the spots he's been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The San Francisco, he would have stayed and say, he wouldn't, I mean, he only got pushed out of San Francisco because of Trent Bocchi who has been shown and you've, you've talked about it on this show and elsewhere, Pete. I mean, it's been shown like that, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A different GM, maybe Jim Harbaugh is in San Francisco a little bit longer. And he, hey, he has been in Michigan for nine years. That's a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the 2020, the COVID season, they asked him to take a pay cut and that's why many people think he's fine leaving now. I think he also really, really, and this is kind of a no bleep Sherlock thing, but like he really wants to win a Superbowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's talked about this and obviously winning a national championship for his alma mater is freaking awesome. But I think Jim Harbaugh is wired in a way that that means that that if he was a Super Bowl next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The national championship at Michigan wouldn't even compare to winning the Super Bowl. Like I think it drives him nuts that his brother has a Super Bowl and he doesn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's done that? Jimmy Johnson and... Pete Carroll did it. Pete Carroll. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right, that's right. Pete Carroll, Jimmy Johnson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the only four guys to do it. So Harbaugh would join that club. And I got to tell you, you know what I am here for. If Jim Harbaugh goes to the Chargers, Jim Harbaugh and Sean Payton twice a year, we will get some like Sean Payton, like

[Assistant] Like she like, she's like choking himself, like to make fun of, like to some, we can get some fights at midfield and I'm here for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] End up being second and third place. That's the only thing about that division, man. Like, dude, good luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was it that said, what did somebody say yesterday? Did you say this breach of the AFC? Somebody said that some division could be the best division in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think I would rather, if you're doing a head to head,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would take, I mean Raven's chiefs find out on Sunday on AF on CBS and on Paramount plus. Um, and then you would definitely take the Browns and Bengals over Browns, Bengals and Steelers over the following three. But I think if you add Harbaugh and give Sean Sean Payton, a quarterback, maybe that changes right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would he have, would he have to make him, he'd have to make him like OC for him to leave, which I don't really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you'd also have a pretty disgruntled offensive line coach. If you were like, sorry, dude, you can't, you can't go coach with your son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be a bad look at the Browns block that because you're talking about a pretty small window for bill Callahan and Brian Callahan to coach together and that having that opportunity to do it as your son is the head coach and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, who knows, you're probably not going to win a Super Bowl or anything like that, but you know, you could surprise some people anyway. Moving along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete had an incredible wild card round three of six on his bowl predictions. 50% bowl predictions. Great. He made four bowl predictions in the divisional round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a ton of yardage for, uh, it means Lamar Jackson is slinging it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's crazy, 327 combined passing yards. The crazy part is that CJ Stroud threw the ball 14 times in the second half for 44 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next up packers, 40 diners. You said that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, do you think that there's a case to be made? You talk about the Lamar slow start and then how San Francisco played and maybe having that, like you clinched the first number one seed and don't play anybody. It's tough because like you don't want to play everybody in week 18. They got hurt and you look like an idiot. We've seen that before, but it did feel like both teams were a little sluggish out of the gate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, maybe Detroit. Detroit's got a good blocking team. Hmm, interesting. All right. Buccaneers and Lions, you said that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. The, uh, Baker Baker was great. Um, he's back in Tampa Bay, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has to be. Has to be. They want him back. Of course, yeaah. He should want to be back. Yeaah, he wants to. Although, I will say, I think that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, with Dan Morgan being hired as Carolina's GM, there's a non-zero chance of uh, Dave Canales going to Carolina. Hot, just a hot take. Maybe we're together in Seattle. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. Who do you think gets hired by the Panthers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe you. That seems like a smart move and something you would do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what's like the scene from Silicon Valley when, um, they bring, uh, they bring the guys from Pied Piper and they're like, yeah, we want to acquire you. So you can tell us, uh, tell us about, uh, middle, middle out, middle, middle out compression. And they're like doing it on the whiteboard. They're like, no, keep going. Keep going. Yeah. Um, all right. Finally you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, this is a shame. You know, it's a shame because actually, no, there's no real reasons to shame, but you said this about the chief said the bills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just really, um, spread out. Both teams were in terms of like, in terms of receiving, you know, you had Kelsey 75 MVS 62 Rishi rice 47.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody had more than 50 receiving yards for the bills. That's wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that Stefan Diggs is on the Buffalo Bills in 2024?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having the number one seed is pretty, pretty, pretty important, by the way. New season of uh, Curb Your Enthusiasm. The final season of Curb coming. Um, new playoff system was introduced in 2020.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50% of the Super Bowl teams that span have been the one seed in this year. Both the Ravens and the 49ers can get there. I feel like honestly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to think what the last example of a team, you know, we said this year might be a crazy year. We got both one seeds and both three seeds making it to the playoffs. So once he just has to win one game, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that we're just actually, I guess, uh, what do we have? We had a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which of the number one seeds are more likely to go down this weekend? Wait, what is it? What am I?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, wait a minute, what am I? Yeah, you think, you think the ravens are more likely to go down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breach. Chiefs. I mean, uh, Ravens are 49ers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who'd you, who'd you rather go to a concert of, Pete? Taylor Swift or even them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I didn't, I didn't buy him. My wife got him. And I know, but you, you, you mentioned that you said, but when she was like, she's going to buy him, you're like, I might tell her to sell him no matter what. Well, she's all into, she's all into selling them too though. Don't get me wrong. Interesting. All right, let's take a break. When we come back, more ball predictions for the NFL conference championships next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, for those not watch, for those not watching on YouTube, you can watch on YouTube, youtube.com slash at NFL and CBS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find the, uh, the, the Tommy Tran, the Tommy Tran and Musso Joe Musso are pals watching. I think the, the photo shoots of those two guys in suits by the Falons are pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's get two ball predictions from each game because we only have two games. We need four ball predictions in total. Pete, we will start with Chiefs and Ravens. Give us a bold prediction from the AFC Championship game on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although you can beat them on the ground more than you can beat them through the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the idea of like Isaiah Pacheco and Roquan Smith meeting each other like right at the hole. That's violent. That's violent. Yeah. Fun. Violent. I love Roquan Smith, man. What a player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, lions and 49ers lions at 49ers that game. Wait, which one is the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we forgot to grade the first one. Breach, we gotta grade the grade pizza predictions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, total of 51 in that game, which is pretty robust. Uh, Niners currently favored by seven points, although that went down to six and a half back up to seven, uh, some juice on the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back to the Ravens and the Chiefs. Bolt prediction number two from you, Pete. You want another one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Taylor Swift is not shown once on the broadcast. How about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest concern is that people would lament the fact that she was using a private jet just to come back for a football game, but there's plenty of private jets being used to go to a football game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on. Alright, let's take a break when we come back. Blind Ranking, next!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. That time of the year golf is firing up and it's that time of the show when we fire up a blind ranking. Breach and I will give Pete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five items. People rank them blindly one through five. It's conference championship weekend. So, you know, we're going to give you some conference championship games. We'll start in the greatest year in the history of the world. 1981 year I was born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chargers, bangles, the Frieza ball in 81, Pete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. Two thousand and six Patriots and the Colts Peyton's revenge game. That wasn't fourth in Jackass. Was it? That was during the regular season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, that is correct. 17 seconds left. I was there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Colts would then beat the, um, down in Fort Lauderdale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would beat the, uh, the Bears after Devin has to return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember Mike Freeman always telling us how he was like hiding up underneath the thing, uses his laptop or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately for Breach, he didn't get this one because of how things shook out, but Bengals Chiefs 2021 Borough Out Duels Patrick Mahomes to take the, uh, Bengals of the Super Bowl and lose to my Rams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'll do it for us. Those are the best conference championship games. The blind ranking. Would you change anything if you were doing your not blind? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you have one Patriots cult, two the catch, three the drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'll do it for us tomorrow. We got, uh, Tuesdays with be back. Brady's not going to be there, but Brian McFadden and leisure docible. Plus myself will be there to talk all things football. Give us a like, comment, subscribe, rate and review for Pete for breach. I'm Brenton. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. We'll see you guys later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brinton, you gotta drag me out here to watch my offensive player get stolen and then he's probably gonna move next door to me and just rub it in my face the whole time that he left the bangles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, maybe he wants to live out in the suburbs though. Maybe he doesn't want to live in a five million dollar home. You don't know. You don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the double sided, I live in Nashville, bangles fan edge and you know, reading the local stories about the Titans every day. And it really feels like Amy Adam Strunk went into the search and was thinking, I want to hire the opposite of Mike Frabel. I do not want the next Mike Frabel. I want


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, Mike Frable is a defensive, mighty coach who wants a lot of control and, uh, wants...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and so now you bring in, oh I've got this offensive minded coach now, uh, he's gonna work well with this front office. If you can work with the Bengals front office, you can work with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is part of the thing that drew Amy Adams Trump to Brian Callahan. And then obviously you look at what he's done. His track record is just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting because I think that he kinda got lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up until probably December when Jake Browning came out and, and we'll talk about this more. And you know, he went off and people are like, wow, the Spangles offense is functioning without Joe Burrow. What's going on there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and so really I think that Jake Browning run is what turned everyone's head and got them all these interviews and here we are. So I think Amy Adam Schunk wanted someone who was opposite of Ravel and that is what she's getting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got it. It brings back our never ending debate. Zach Taylor, good coach. No, the Bengals have been bracing for this since 2021. They thought they were going to lose Callahan. They thought they were going to lose their defense corner. They thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that both those guys lasted till this season, I think blew Zach Taylor's mind. So this team was absolutely bracing for this. I think that Bengals QB coach Dan Pitcher will get promoted to offensive coordinator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, he's familiar with Joe Burrow cause he's been there. He's familiar with Zach Taylor. So I think from a Bengals end, they're good to go. But I think the Titans part of this is where it's interesting. Cause as you said, this does feel like it's a little bit out of left field. I mean, why do you feel that way besides that? He doesn't, he's not as imposing as a Mike Frable type hire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that wouldn't be surprising at all if you're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You look at who he's worked with. First I'll say that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Bill Callahan does end up in Tennessee, that's a great get for Brian. It should be easy because you call up your dad and say, Hey, why don't you come down here? And we talked about how smart it was for Antonio Pierce to bring in Marvin Lewis. You bring in someone with all this football knowledge as a first time head coach. That is a huge thing. It takes some weight off your shoulders, takes a little your own pressure off of you because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't know what you don't know. And when you have someone who's been an NFL head coach to kind of lean on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and probably just stay there the rest of his, you know, the rest of his coaching day. So I think obviously, uh, bringing in Bill Callahan would be very smart if, uh, Bill wants to do that. And then the other part of this is this to me is a giant vote of confidence for Will Levis because what has


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took him eight years for him to get this head coaching job. And so you look at, you name the Lions, that's Matthew Stafford, the Raiders with Derek Carr. Now, uh, one year with Andy Dalton and then four years with Joe Burrow. And that's it. He's going to develop Will Levis and that's what they want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, they were not, they were not gonna get, yes, they were not gonna get another Vrayboy, like we said. Yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of those things that we talk about, uh, I just came in from hanging out with my daughter, so I was straight up on the playground, I have playground hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told me I have a booboo and now I'm wearing a princess bandaid. I do not have a booboo. Uh, so, but you look at, again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where this, where, uh, Callahan's coming from and you look at who he has coached under, you know, he started with Gary Kubiak in Denver. He's coached under John Gruden, as we just mentioned coach under Zach Taylor. We're talking about coaches who have been to the super bowl. So he's got to learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the best and kind of digest all that and he's going to create his own system. Now it's going to be interesting to see what he does offensively because you already mentioned Brenton and as bangles fans know


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was not calling the plays in Cincinnati. He was the guy, but he was Zach Taylor's right hand man. This is the guy that handles a lot of the game planning. Uh, so when you see Jake Browning have a breakout, it's, oh wow, this is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta give the, the offensive coordinator a lot of credit for that. And so that's where I think Brian Callahan, uh, can be really good for the Titans, but it is, and we've talked about this before, if he calls plays for the Titans, you are putting a load on you that you don't know until you get to week one when you're trying to be the head coach and call plays for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, absolutely, but you know what, I won't be surprised because he was in Cincinnati for the past five years if he sets up a dynamic that he had similar, similar to what he had with Zach Taylor. So if he says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. I am going to call plays because I've always wanted to do that in the head coach now. Nobody can tell me I can't. So I'm going to call the plays, but I'm going to bring in, I'm going to bring in an offensive coordinator that I'm absolutely going to lean on. I'm going to let him handle the brunt of the game planning. Then I'm going to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Head coach. And so maybe he gets through the first year and decides, you know what? That was a lot. I'm going to be the head coach. I'll let my offensive coordinator call plays. Cause I think we both agree there is zero chance Brian Callahan is one and done in Tennessee. They are going to do a total rebuild. I think this hire symbolizes that guys like Deandre Hopkins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Derek Henry are gonna be gone. I think that they're gonna get rid of as much of the, the, clear the salary cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make the team younger and try and thrive under a first-year head coach. So I think they're just going to do, it's an experimental year. You do what you want. And, uh, yeah, so I won't be surprised if he ends up calling plays and has a similar setup to what he hadn't since I was at Taylor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and again, this goes back to kind of what I was saying about how many people he's coached under. I mentioned those guys, uh, and also John Fox and you look at,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What he has done, uh, Callahan was on two coaching staffs in Denver that went to Super Bowls and then obviously the Bengals coaching staff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in 2021 that went to a Super Bowl. So he sees kind of the cohesiveness, kind of what you need to do to build a Super Bowl team. So you're talking about a guy who's been at least an assistant in the NFL since 2010.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and 14 years, he's been to three Super Bowls. So I think that's an advantage for the Titans to have someone so seasoned and also so young. I mean, this guy has 14 years of experience and he's not even 40 years old yet. So you never see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the NFL, except when it, uh, I think what Kyle Shanahan got his first offense coordinator job with the Texans when he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super young. So the fact that he has got to kind of learn and grow under multiple coaching staffs that have, for the most part, all been successful, uh, I think that he'll be very open to making whatever he hire he needs to. He doesn't seem like a control freak where, well, I can't bring in someone who might


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make me look bad or who offensive coordinator who wants to call plays or I think he's going to hire. I think he went up with a good coaching staff. You know who can end up with this coaching staff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is anyone going to hire Jay Gruden after his?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tit tat with RG3? I think RG3 is the wrong there, but that's just me. We need to have a separate off-season podcast on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and you know what, I'm going to mention this because, uh, old Jordan Dejani in the comment section, he pointed this out and I meant to point it out at the very beginning, but this hiring comes on the two-year anniversary of Brian Callahan's Bengals beating the number one seeded Titans in the AFC division round of the playoffs, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wonder if, uh, Callahan brought that up during his second interview. Take that, Titans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that the Saints have been pretty serious with John Gruden, so I think that would be the one thing that holds them back. But as you said, Calhoun's are tight with the Gruden, so who knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, and I'm just gonna stick with whatever you just said, only to add that, look, it's David Tepper, you never know, because he has ultimate control, and if he thinks you make a dumb decision, he'll just veto it. Or if he doesn't like someone you're gonna hire, he'll just say, go to the next candidate. So I can't imagine working for someone like Tepper, because you actually ever have any control. He is not a hands-off owner, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one non-Panthers thing I will say, when I said I thought Dan Pitcher would likely get the job with the Bengals, one thing I did not know, uh, this is something Rapshee tweeted out about 30 minutes ago, is that Dan Pitcher is actually interviewing for three different offensive coordinator jobs this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One with the Raiders, one with the Saints. So he is a hot commodity, but I have to think if you're Dan Pitcher and the Bengals say, Hey, you want to be our offensive coordinator?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stay in Cincinnati or go to New England, go to Vegas or go to New Orleans. Uh, I think your best chance at success is certainly staying in Cincinnati with someone you're familiar with and a quarterback who has


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I know that Titans fans probably got a little tired of the old 1973 offense that Vrabel was running the old three yards in a cloud of dust with Derek Henry getting all the carries and then it was one of those things where if you jumped out


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a lead on the Titans, you got up to nothing. You felt pretty comfortable. You were going to win because the team that runs the ball all the time, uh, wasn't built to make a comeback. And you know, you forced Ryan Tannehill to throw it a lot. Remember there was a playoff run. I think it was the year they beat the Patriots in 2019 Brady's last game when they won two games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got the AFC title game to play the Chiefs and Ryan Tannehill threw the ball less than 15 times in both of those wins. And that was like classic Mike Brable football that we're just going to run the ball and win with defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will not be dealing with that with Brian Callahan. He will absolutely modernize the offense. I think Titans fans, your mind will be blown. You'll be like, wait, these are the things that other NFL teams run. These are the concepts I see the Dolphins run. We're running them? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and real quick, I was just gonna say, the last time, I'll grade in a second, the last time the Titans hired, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ken Wisnott was an offense coordinator, right? Yup. Offense coordinator with the Cardinals. Uh, that one didn't work out so well, but I think the expectations were much higher with Michael Arkey. I give it a B plus. I think it's smart. It's gonna, he's gonna change what they do in Tennessee. He's gonna change their offensive philosophy and I think it's something that can absolutely work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. If they both announce their retirement on Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's a tough, you're not having a big enough impact on the game even though he is the best fullback in the game right now. I'm not sure that's gonna get me in Britain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that right there is the key. If he does it for several more years and he keeps putting up this kind of production, absolutely he's going to get in. But the thing is, if you're running back, you've got to stay healthy. It is very hard because you're getting hit all the time. And the crazy part about him maybe getting in is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello everyone and welcome back to the fake six podcast today. It's finally the playoffs, baby. The super wild card weekend is coming up. I'm Katie Mox joined by Will Bronson. I always want to call you Bronson. I don't know why I do that. Will Bronson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it? We had a family friend, uhm, the Bronsons growing up, so maybe that's what happened. Will Brinson is here, MrPic6 himself, and we're joined by Sportsline's finest, RJ White and Alex Selsnick, aka PropstarsFellas. Thanks for hanging with us.

[Assistant] In the last episode on the feed, we'll Brinson, Brady Quinn, and Li-Jay Beasible discussed sub-zero football and debating whether revenge games are real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's interesting. Check it out on our YouTube channel and anywhere that you get your podcast. That sounds like a good one. Week 18, fellas, was hands down the best of the season for each of us. We all got four wins, prints and mocks and white. Uh, and then of course, Propstars went 2 and 0 on his props.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I can't believe I'm only down 81 units considering I had so many, um, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Jets props in there, but that was a really fun competition as well, RJ, and that's still heating up for some players, not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, absolutely. Alright, we are going to get into uhm, the first weekend of the wild card. I guess the only weekend of the wild card, first weekend of the playoffs. Uhm, but we're doing these a little bit differently, yes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which honestly, I appreciate it. I'd rather it be super. Uhm, but RJ came up with this incredible, uhm, game for us to play. We're doing bingo cards, but I'm gonna let you, uhm, tell us what we're doing, RJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well I, well look, it's a good thing that I won the last round, because I've already screwed up this first round, and mine are all 49ers, so we will just, I don't know what to do with me. Oh no, yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, good. Yes. All right. So then I didn't do anything wrong, actually, which makes me very happy. Okay, so we're starting with these playoff specials, uhm, and Saturday games. So the most playoff passing yards, uhm, for this season, RJ, that you like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not advancing there, Brinson. That's the problem. Yes, they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the exposure for the 49ers. All of my bets are 49ers. And Harry can attest to this. I typed in Matt Stafford first and I had it in there for a second and I was like, no, they're not getting past the 49ers. I do think that they beat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Lions, but I'm going pretty for all the reasons that everybody said, I mean, you look at his weapons, I, you could kill and Devo had 1300 yard games between them. It's just insane. And I do think that the 49ers have a good chance to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the way. Alright, the most playoff rushing yards. I go first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With my 49ers full exposure, Christian McCaffrey, really chalky here at plus 180, averaging almost 92 yards per game this season, the second most in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, like RJ said, Niners are minus 130 favorite to win the Super Bowl, so you gotta think that Christian McCaffrey is going to get a lot of work over the next couple weeks. Having two weeks off too, because he's got a little bit of that calf strain, so hopefully he is feeling good. But I am not afraid of the exposure. Prop stars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just, I'm giggling because what if, and I don't think, what if you hit this bet and then you also hit the, you know, staffer getting the one and you're going to be the most insufferable human on the face of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a bad weather game, so it's gonna be a lot of rushing coming up in this first game anyways. Alright, most playoff receiving yards, prop stars.

[Assistant] I love it and I will continue my overexposure of the 49ers, but I will say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a lot of 49ers on my fantasy team and I won my league this year. So it's not exactly bad to be overexposed on the 49ers. I love Ayuk as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that's getting a lot of those first looks certainly downfield and outside the numbers and he just takes off like crazy. So I love him as well. RJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's, let's throw up the playoff specials here. You can see what everyone is doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brinson is very exposed on the Rams with a very long shot with Josh Allen. I'm of course all over on the San Francisco 49ers. Uhm, I feel like you're pretty spread out, uh, RJ. You actually were pretty smart that way. And uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prop stars, you're kind of exposed on the 49ers as well, and I like that about you. I'm glad that you've come over to the dark side. Uhm, alright, so now we're going to play our pick six bingo card game, which RJ explained at the top of the show. We each get a spread, a total, a passing yards prop, a receiving yards prop, a rushing yard prop, and then a wild card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a half. Uhm, I'll go first. I'm taking the points with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Texans because CJ Shroud is not your average rookie. He is six and three versus teams entering with a winning record this season. Nine and four in his last 13 starts and the Browns struggle away from home just three and six and I do think that at some point this fun little thing we're seeing with Joe Flacco is going to fizzle out. So give me the points with the Texans at home. That is my spread bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, football? It's not like lightning or anything. I mean, uh, but apparently it's going to be a wild card weekend game. Yeah, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do, but it's for a running back. It's Pacheco over 18 and a half receive yards. Like you said, cold weather game here. Uhm, my home's isn't gonna be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chuck in the ball down the field, uh, because it's freezing and that's going to be one hard rock. And then also, you know, his receivers tend to drop things. So I do think that Pacheco is going to be utilized in the screen game. A lot of check downs to Pacheco, especially because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the Miami Dolphins have been vulnerable to running backs in the receiving game. So I do think this number is a little bit too short. He had 35 yards, uh, versus Sensi last week. So I'll take Pacheco over on his receiving yards. RJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait wait, Popstars has one more pick on this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so Brinson, hold a place, yeaah, hold a place for Brinson's wild card, cause that is coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later. Oh, my vet is calling me. Uhm, alright, we are going to take a break right here. More Sunday games when we come back. You're watching pick six. Don't go anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the Pick Six Podcast. Uhm, that was such a fun music that played in that commercial if you were watching the YouTube channel. Moving on to the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Buffalo Bills. Bills laying 10. This total 36 and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Game, uhm, when I was looking it up, it's like gusts of wind up to 41 miles an hour, 80% chance to participate or precipitation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be snow, it's gonna be freezing, uhm, and so I'm thinking that a lot of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rushing yards are going over in this game. Uhm, I'm gonna go ahead and look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] best, but into moving the field. So I'll take them


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] R.J., you just reminded me, that bad weather game between the Patriots, I took the over on the punts in that game and that hit. I wonder if this is another game where you may be actually taking a wild card and looked at the punts in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do. Well, first of all, I think the fact that this line has dropped to seven from seven and a half. I think a lot of betters have a little bit of recency bias. Yes, Jordan Love looked really good last week, but this is the Cowboys at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna lay that seven with them, but I already used that for this game. So I am taking Cowboys team total over 29 and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's high, but again, the Cowboys at home have been absolutely dominant. 8 and 0. They averaged 38 points per game. They haven't had less than 33 points per game in four of their last five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Home games, I think they absolutely roll in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Packers, congratulations on making the playoffs your first, uh, season removed from Aaron Rodgers. But the buck stops here. Y'all about to get rolled by the boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, oh yeaah, you're doing that. Uh, one thing I will say about JR Alexander, where he has excelled, his post-game interviews have been quite entertaining over the last few weeks, although I think he's gonna be taking things a bit more seriously now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I got suspended for that. And then he said he was going to take things more serious. He's just been hilarious to me. I absolutely enjoy watching him. Uhm, now for Brinton's favorite game of the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I gotta be honest, I hate myself for how much I like the Rams in this game. On my podcast earlier today, I gave out so many Rams bets that I thought that I was having an identity crisis, but I am gonna take Matt Stafford over 272 and a half passing yards.
