Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Pre-Game Banter, Costumes, and Halloween Vibes

• The show opens with Halloween fun—hosts and guests poke fun at each other’s costumes, referencing horror films like 30 Days of Night and Late Night with the Devil (06:00-08:30).
• The group reveals their classic vs. new horror movie preferences and even chat about recent TV like "Chad Powers" on Hulu (06:30-09:40).
• Notable quote:
  • “Spooktober always fucks me up because there’s only 31 days of fright and I like to get myself a little bit in every single night.”—Will Compton (07:48)

---

2. Nostalgic Stories & Locker Room Mentality

• Lively banter about college life, sharing logins, and “shopping” (aka pilfering frat houses for gear and snacks) (10:11–12:29).
• Debate over who would help out a broke walk-on—highlighting the camaraderie and gentle ribbing that defines football culture.

---

3. NFL Week 9 Game Picks & Analysis

a) Broncos @ Texans

Picks:

• Will: Broncos ML
• Jake: Broncos ML
• Delaney: Broncos ML
• Clay: Texans -1.5

Analysis:

• The Broncos’ defense and pass rush (leading the league in sacks) is set to challenge Texans QB C.J. Stroud, especially given Houston's struggling offensive line (23:12–24:24).
• Counterpoint: Clay likes Houston, noting their recent offensive improvement and their ability to sustain long drives (24:08–25:54).

Memorable stat (25:54):

“At one point the 49ers had 10 plays and the Texans had 10 first downs.” —Will Compton

---

b) Vikings @ Lions

Consensus Pick: Lions -8.5

Analysis:

• J.J. McCarthy starts for Vikings; Lions’ culture, health, and Dan Campbell’s influence make Detroit overwhelming favorites (27:19–31:42).
• The Lions' defense gets healthier, run game is clicking, and the Vikings are viewed as rudderless.

“This is a put-your-foot-on-their-throat type of game.”—Will Compton (27:46)

• Delaney: “Lions is here to stay. Hopefully it can get to the ship.” (31:42)

---

c) Colts @ Steelers

Consensus Pick: Colts -3 (except Clay, who likes the over 50.5)

Analysis:

• Colts praised for balance across all phases; offensive line, run game, and “Indiana Jones” (Danny Jones) at QB are all clicking (32:41–35:00).
• Colts defensive and offensive lines are healthy and dominant, facing a Steelers squad with key injuries and communication issues (33:17).
• Delaney jokes about Colts owner’s energizing presence:

  "They probably got some fire ass cocaine out there, but my man is out there playing on fire, bro."—Delaney (34:42)

---

d) Seahawks @ Commanders

Consensus Pick: Seahawks -3.5

Analysis:

• Commanders “magic is gone,” while Seahawks’ defense and secondary are healthy and improving.

“I think this is it for the Commanders this year.” —Jake (39:21)

• Noted Seahawks’ 10-1 record in their last 11 road games (39:40).
• Only caveat: Long West to East travel, but it’s a Sunday night game, so travel is less of a factor.

---

e) Cardinals @ Cowboys

Picks:

• Delaney: Over 53
• Clay: Cowboys -3, also loves George Pickens anytime TD
• Jake: Cardinals ML +130 (“I just feel this one, I don’t know why… Not in on Cowboys’ defense.”)

Talking Points:

• Kyler Murray’s unpredictable play vs. Jacoby Brissett’s game management skills; is Dallas due for a bounce back? (41:46–43:57)
• Cowboys defense at home performs better, but have lost 7 of last 8 against Arizona.

  “Since high school, Kyler Murray at AT&T Stadium: nine and oh. I know, oh. How we feeling?” —Jake (44:01)

• Will uses high school dating as a metaphor for his unreliable trust in the Cowboys (45:31–47:02).
• Quote: “Last week I sat there and I’m like, bro, if this defense can just be average, they’re going to be great… but then I get punched in the dick a little bit.” —Will (46:33)

---

f) Chiefs @ Bills (Game of the Week)

Picks:

• Will: Chiefs
• Delaney: Chiefs
• Jake: Chiefs
• Clay: Bills

Analysis:

• Chiefs healthier, Mahomes looking “like MVP Mahomes,” Bills D decimated by injuries (48:36-50:39).
• Bills strong in regular season record vs KC, but have playoff struggles. Chiefs favored by 1.5; Buffalo's run defense is a liability.

  “There’s two reasons why the Chiefs are gonna win... Because Mahomes is playing like Patrick Mahomes... and because of that Buffalo defense—right in front in the 31st slot of Rush defense, just terrible.”—Jake (49:46)

• Arguments about Monday’s game logistics, TV coverage, and why game time matters.
• Will is playing the long game: “I need the Chiefs to win this game so the Bills can get to the Super Bowl this year in the playoffs.” (49:24)

---

4. Bet the Boys Parlay Picks (57:17–61:39)

• JSN (Seattle) anytime TD
• Jonathan Taylor (Colts) 2 TDs
• Jameer Gibbs (Lions) anytime TD
• George Pickens (Steelers) anytime TD

“This is a juicy four.”—Clay Matthews (61:08)
“When we lose, the fans go, ‘damn, Will, damn Clay, you killed my...’”—Delaney (60:43)

(Conversation about parlays, odds, and the pleasure/pain of missing out by one leg. Agreement to “ride the train” with Jonathan Taylor.)

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On College Days:
  “We called that in college – shopping.” —Will Compton, on raiding frat houses (12:18)
• On NFL Locker Room Culture:
  “There's a negative connotation of being a walk-on... but I kinda rocked with everybody.” —Clay Matthews (17:04)
• On Vikings QB Troubles:
  “It gets worse for the Vikings... they're going to be fighting with the Bears for that last place in NFC North.” —Jake (31:08)
• On Week 9 Betting:
  “This is candy. This is Halloween. This is Colts minus three. This is as responsibly as you can hammer this.” —Will Compton (33:49)
• On Chiefs vs. Bills:

[Dr. Dennis Black]

Greetings Naturopathy Dr. Dennis Black here, founder of Rough Greens. And if only dogs could talk. I think a lot of them would say, hey, thanks for the love, but this food, it's not working for me. The truth is, they'd be right, because most dog food, wet or dry, is cooked at such high temperatures that every live nutrient in it is destroyed and what you're left with is dead food bulked up with fillers and sprayed with artificial flavors. That's not what dogs need. But when you add back in the live vitamins, omega oils and antioxidants are in Rough Greens. Your dog would say something different. Like they'd say, wow, this is delicious. Or sluggish Dogs might say, hey, let's go for a walk. Older dogs might say, I feel like a puppy again. It's not magic, it's biology. Don't just imagine it. See it in your dog. I'll send you a free Jumpstart trial bag for your dog. You just cover the shipping. Go to ruffgreens.com use discount code talk that's R U F F Greens Discount Code Talk. If your dog could only talk, they'd say, thank you.

Just go to fanduel.combussin and get ready for a fun spooky holiday weekend before.

[Will Compton]

First off, I absolutely love your costume. And you did something in the last show. The caller show that we just shot a little bit ago where you put 18 milligrams in of nicotine. I did the same thing I did it for. I just put it in and I'm fired up to see how I feel about 25 floaty. I wish there was an Aladdin costume around here. Dude. I want somebody to show me the world.

[Clay Matthews]

Have you seen. Wait, are you.

[Delaney Walker]

Are you.

[Jake]

You. Pete. Pete.

[Clay Matthews]

You ain't about to get me.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm just asking. What are you dressed up?

[Clay Matthews]

Lumberjack?

[Delaney Walker]

Oh.

[Will Compton]

Oh.

[Delaney Walker]

Hey.

[Will Compton]

Did you play with that?

[Jake]

Here we go.

[Will Compton]

Linebacker for San Francisco went to Ole Miss.

[Jake]

Patrick P. Willis.

[Will Compton]

Will this dick fit in your mouth? Let's start the show, boys. How do you feel?

[Delaney Walker]

That's why I said Patrick.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, man. Probably smart to put that on there. Hell of a show we got for you guys. We got a whole slate.

[Clay Matthews]

Clay knew something was. Here we go.

[Jake]

I knew something was.

[Delaney Walker]

I know who it is. And Michael Myers.

[Will Compton]

Hey, shout out, clump.

[Clay Matthews]

Who'd you get yesterday?

[Jake]

That's why the mask was off.

[Will Compton]

Got mad with that.

[Jake]

You got Clay. You didn't get Michael Myers, though.

[Will Compton]

No one ever gets Michael Myers.

[Jake]

No, they don't.

[Will Compton]

Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees might be the two most difficult people to get.

[Clay Matthews]

With a dick joke.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, of course.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

They don't speak.

[Clay Matthews]

What is your. Do you have a character named Here.

[Will Compton]

We go with the fucking Grill again, man.

[Clay Matthews]

Has the camera zoomed in on Delaney?

[Jake]

Wesley Snipes from Blade. Good one. Good one.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm the black guy from Twilight.

[Will Compton]

There's a black guy in Twilight.

[Delaney Walker]

It wasn't. He should have been one.

[Clay Matthews]

That's what it sounds like running through my brain right there.

[Delaney Walker]

It wasn't, but it should have been one.

[Will Compton]

Hey, weren't you a Twilight guy?

[Clay Matthews]

Love it.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, the dreads. He got the dreads shout out. And he was sick, too. He was sick, too. Yeah, I'll take that.

[Will Compton]

This girl is way better than your other grill.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, I can talk with this one.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, you can talk with that one. Big.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, Yeah, a little bit.

[Delaney Walker]

Well, when you got both of them in, it's like.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

You like when I was looking at you in your eyes? Because it's kind of hard to keep eye contact with you because it is pretty scary. But I was thinking of those eyes.

[Will Compton]

Just.

[Clay Matthews]

I see them in 30 days a night when the girl's just on the ground praying, like, she's like, God or please God. And he's like. He, like, bends down and looks at her. He looks up at the sky, looks back down on her and just shakes his head, no, God.

[Delaney Walker]

That was.

[Jake]

Oh, yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

30 days a night's a.

[Delaney Walker]

That's a good movie.

[Clay Matthews]

That's a creepy movie right there.

[Will Compton]

30 days a night.

[Jake]

Was that Josh Hartnett?

[Will Compton]

That's in Alaska, right? That movie's in Alaska.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Okay. Yeah, I've seen that.

[Delaney Walker]

Cause it's night for 30 days, and.

[Clay Matthews]

The vampires get after it in there.

[Will Compton]

Like 28 days later, 28 weeks later. Now they're doing 28 years later.

[Delaney Walker]

It just came out.

[Will Compton]

Have you seen it?

[Jake]

I saw it.

[Delaney Walker]

I'll look that in.

[Will Compton]

How was it? You're.

[Clay Matthews]

You know what?

[Will Compton]

You are my movie guy.

[Jake]

All right, it's good, but it's not. It's less about the zombies. It's more about the emotional connection between a father son and a mother son. She's battling an illness. You know, they venture out a little bit. So it's more about. It's more of a Hollywood flick, less of. Kind of suspense still has to do with the virus and whatnot and what they have to do to survive. But I think it's more kind of tugs on your, you know, your heart in regard to the relationship with your parents.

[Clay Matthews]

Did you tear up?

[Jake]

No.

[Delaney Walker]

Was it a cure involved?

[Jake]

There is not a cure. No cure. They just have to be smart about how they, you know, they don't get infected.

[Delaney Walker]

So we're going to go 28 years years later.

[Jake]

28 decades.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, decades.

[Dr. Dennis Black]

Okay. Yeah.

[Jake]

Colonize Mars.

[Will Compton]

What? What's you been your favorite spook this year. You're my B rated film fella. You like the fucked up stuff you introduced me to. Who's the fucked up Terrifier?

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, terrifier. Right now I really haven't been watching any newer films that came out. I've just been watching. Oh like I'm a fan of the Living Dead.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

So I've been watching all of those. I've just been going back, just rewatching those just because I feel like those are horror cult films that you cannot miss and you always got to go back and just check them out. So I've been watching the Living Dead just pretty much all of every. Every season, every episode. Because they got TV shows and they got the movies out.

[Will Compton]

Spooked over. Always fucks me up because there's only 31 days of fright and I like to get myself a little bit in every single night.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

But when I'm going, I'm like, do I want to take a risk at this newer movie or do I want to hit my classics like I always do? And I always lean back on the classics. The classics one I saw last year, man, it was about the talk show. It was like late night with the devil.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, with the devil. Yes.

[Will Compton]

And that movie was good for. If it's two hour movie. The first hour and 45 minutes are incredible. Super original. Well done. That last 15 minutes lost me though where I was like fucking kind of ruined it for me.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

It was like he sold his soul to the devil.

[Will Compton]

No spoilers.

[Delaney Walker]

No spoilers.

[Clay Matthews]

No spoilers.

[Will Compton]

No spoilers.

[Clay Matthews]

Have you guys watched this is. This is off the. The horror stuff. Have you guys watched Chad Powers?

[Delaney Walker]

Not yet.

[Will Compton]

Oh, you guys need to watch that show. It is like Hulu came and like they bought Advertisement with us and gave us access to watch a little bit early. And I was kind of. I saw the first couple episodes that I kind of ran through to the. Before the last one. I'm telling Will, bro, you've got to watch the show. It's awesome. We got on the plane last week. Will finished the. The finale. Which Jack. Have you seen it?

[FanDuel Announcer]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

We'll talk tonight. Show's incredible.

[Jake]

How many episodes?

[Clay Matthews]

Six.

[Jake]

Six. They each an hour long?

[Will Compton]

No, they're shorter. I think the finale is 35 minutes.

[Jake]

27.

[Will Compton]

They're not long.

[Jake]

You just power through them.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

And it's really good. Are you Familiar with the Chad Bowers bit?

[Jake]

I am. Can I get your Hulu login?

[Delaney Walker]

You don't have Hulu. You got Disney Plus.

[Jake]

I might have Hulu. Cause I got ESPN plus.

[Delaney Walker]

Then you got it.

[Jake]

So I can lose money on ufc. You got it. Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

It's all three bundles. Yeah, they all bundled that way.

[Clay Matthews]

And it'd be crazy if I just give you my login for you, Hulu.

[Jake]

What do you mean?

[Clay Matthews]

Like, that you can get.

[Jake]

Oh, like take care of your boys.

[Clay Matthews]

Like, I mean, I would take care. I'd take care.

[Delaney Walker]

Are you saying that.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm just thinking perspective wise, zoom out. It's like just, you know, you get a seven day free trial.

[Jake]

Just knock it out, make sure I don't do anymore.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, and also like, taking care of your boys. I'm always down to take care of my boys. But I'm not worried about the three of you. I got a lot of other boys I need to take care of before.

[Jake]

I. I just want a trial run. I just want a trial run. See, you know, see if it's worth it. Hulu's worth it. And you're over here like, bro, high school Will. Like, you would have done that?

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, absolutely.

[Jake]

What happened?

[Will Compton]

So you're telling me stories I heard about this man.

[Delaney Walker]

Not in college.

[Clay Matthews]

Hang on. Just, just. You're right. But I'm in the camp of, you know, the addition of Logins. I. I was Clay asking for Logins.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, he was that.

[Will Compton]

But you. Yeah, okay, that might be correct. But you're not the guy that's like, looking out for your boys.

[Clay Matthews]

If I had a subscription in Mon.

[Will Compton]

MO and he's got his four boys with him, one of them forgets their lunch money, they go, will, can you give me this burrito? Well, I was like, dog, wow. You gotta get your own burrito.

[Jake]

Oh, you're the type of guy who.

[Clay Matthews]

Call me my burrito.

[Will Compton]

I'm the guy that was like, yo, can somebody buy me this burrito?

[Jake]

Will seems like the type of guy, if somebody had asked him for a ride home, he'd say, no, get an Uber. You know what I'm saying?

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, no, you're not that guy.

[Will Compton]

Weren't you charging people to come over?

[Jake]

Oh, that's wild.

[Clay Matthews]

If I'm say, say, say Clay, and I say, I'm the one who had the subscription in high, like high school or college. And Clay wanted to be on it. And it's just us too. I'd be like, hey, let's, you know, let's go 50, 50 on this subscription, bro.

[Jake]

You had a scholarship. I was a walk on. Like, I didn't even have it like that. I couldn't eat with you boys at the mess hall. Like, I was just like a nobody.

[Clay Matthews]

And you wouldn't take care of me. You'd start to tug on my heartstrings by telling me that. And then I pull up the wig.

[Jake]

I'm Mr. Missouri.

[Clay Matthews]

I'd be like, buddy, I know. I get this, bro.

[Jake]

The money was different back then. Daddy had to play 19 years to support five kids. This isn't. This isn't Aiden Hutchinson getting paid 45 million a year. Congrats, by the way. That was awesome.

[Clay Matthews]

Shout out, Aiden Hutchinson. But you'd invite me over to a barbecue or something. Then I'd find my way to soil you with your parents to where Then it's like, oh, Will, you don't need to be doing that.

[Delaney Walker]

Will.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah. Thank you.

[Will Compton]

If I could live in.

[Clay Matthews]

We were trying to mooch off his boy.

[Jake]

You should have seen how I live in college is all I'm saying. Took. No, no, no hand me outs from daddy other than. Other than tuition needed those first two years.

[Will Compton]

$50,000 a year.

[Jake]

I would have put you on 47.

[Delaney Walker]

I would have put you on at my school. Yeah, I would have put you on at my school. I would have been like, look, this is how we do it. We going to steal backpacks. We're going to take those books.

[Jake]

Free bikes.

[Delaney Walker]

And we don't run them back.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, sell them back.

[Delaney Walker]

Repaint that bread. I'll make sure you got money. I would have gave you the hook. I would have been like, that's what we doing. That's why we look so good.

[Will Compton]

You know what we called that in college? What? Shopping.

[Delaney Walker]

That's what y' all call.

[Dr. Dennis Black]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

We go over the frats and we see all these kids and be like, bro, these kids, man. And we go up to their rooms and find stuff. Like, this is ours now. I would never, like, pawn it off, but I just.

[Clay Matthews]

That's crazy.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm gonna take it, but I ain't selling it.

[Will Compton]

I know. I never sold. I never Cam Newtoned.

[Clay Matthews]

I. I just.

[Will Compton]

I. No, I just would get stuff from me. Oh, there's a shirt in there. Oh, is that double X? Let me snipe.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, but we went to a frat one time. Hey, hey. These guys. Let's go up in there.

[Will Compton]

So we go upstairs, we're at this frat party, and we're all kind of doing whatever. And the frat guys were kind of like posturing on us a little bit. And so we go upstairs and they have this like big room. There's a bunch of bedrooms, but at the end of the hall there's this massive room, like kind of like a den. And we took a fire extinguisher to the whole thing.

[Jake]

Damn.

[Will Compton]

And I went to the piss. I came back and there was one frat guy by himself. He's like, did you do this? I was like, I was like, do what, bro? They did that. He goes, I gotta clean all this. I'm a freshman. I was like, man, did he think.

[Delaney Walker]

You was in the frat?

[Clay Matthews]

No.

[Will Compton]

Oh, no, I was red shirting.

[Jake]

Do you think that's why you might have slipped to the second tackle picking.

[Will Compton]

Third tackle picking draft? Greg Robinson was before your cousin then your cousin was before me.

[Jake]

That's what I'm just saying. But like, Jake would have never done that.

[Will Compton]

No. And actually, you know what's funny? 2019, those are the teammates.

[Clay Matthews]

You feel a little uncomfortable. You're like, ah, yeah, I gotta.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 2018, the staff that was there at the Falcons, they were like working somewhere else and they came and they're like, hey, we want you to know the reason why we took Jake in front of you was because of the off the field stuff. But at this point, Jake's obviously still playing. The game continuously goes, like, looking back on it, we should have got you.

[Jake]

That's what they said.

[Will Compton]

Jake's still playing at a very high level. At a very high level. This is just 2018. This is seven years.

[Clay Matthews]

They just got dummied by the Dolphins.

[Delaney Walker]

I mean, dummy.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, but dude, I'm telling you, Jake is still playing high level ball.

[Delaney Walker]

Now when I, when they told me about Taylor, they just said he was a knucklehead. But that's what we wanted though. But that's what we wanted because I like guys who will punch you in the face. And clearly Taylor was that. I didn't know that at first, but.

[Jake]

That dude, he earned your respect.

[Will Compton]

To get some of the pressure off of me and my character being driven away from being 21 years old. I love to live in a twilight zone. Going back to you being a walk on and you being a scholarship athlete. I love to be in a twilight world where you guys are at the same school, bro. And like walk on scholarship guy and.

[Jake]

Comp like Mr. Missouri. No, we'd have been boys five star athlete, bro. You would not have been boys with me. I'm trying to get my microeconomics homework done. I'm riding my bike to and from campus. I didn't party, didn't drink, didn't smoke. I wasn't any good at football. Nobody wanted anything to do with me. So you know what I did? I just lived in the weight room, just grinding, you know what I'm saying? Just film study. Nah, nah.

[Clay Matthews]

Well, hang on. What's your. What's your perception of me in college?

[Jake]

Yeah, probably like the man. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, yeah, without getting mean, like, you're the man.

[Will Compton]

Hey, we're on a show. Good old man. I want to hear. I want to hear some of the nasty things.

[Jake]

No, I'm just saying, like, you probably, like, that was like, that's why you love going back. Like, those are the prime years of your life. Like, you were the man for four or five years, whatever you were doing there.

[Guest]

So are you saying Will peaked in college?

[Jake]

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, like, he'd be wrong.

[Clay Matthews]

He said the prime years of your life, he'd be wrong.

[Will Compton]

Cause what.

[Clay Matthews]

He'd be wrong because I peaked in high school.

[FanDuel Announcer]

No, I'm just.

[Jake]

I just. I got it. Like, I'm just. That's the type of guy I think you were, like, came. Did you, like, I don't even know your college. Like, did you start three years, four years? I know you went undrafted.

[Clay Matthews]

I started a couple games my freshman year, a few my sophomore year, and then started junior and senior.

[Jake]

Where did you. Did you get any awards? Junior and senior year, like, defensive MVP of what?

[Clay Matthews]

The blue bottom for the team.

[Jake]

What about, like, you talking about awards? No, no, no.

[Clay Matthews]

Second team, all Big Ten.

[Jake]

I was second team, Pac, Pac 10, buddy. By the end, we were saying, yeah, you know, maybe he wouldn't. We would have been boys, you guys, for sure.

[Will Compton]

Like, hearing you be like, I didn't drink, didn't smoke, didn't do nothing.

[Clay Matthews]

Like, I wasn't. I wasn't perfect like that, but I didn't drink. I didn't do a whole lot of that shenanigans stuff.

[Jake]

Okay.

[Clay Matthews]

We'd have been in the way where we'd have been grinding.

[Jake]

You would have spotted me.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Guest]

Because he was a walk on.

[Jake]

Yeah, we would have been in the same room.

[Guest]

Do you think you would have treated. You would have treated Clay any differently because he was walking.

[Jake]

How'd you treat the walk ons there? Can we. Can we go? I don't know.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm in the place of how I treat. Like, we'd have been boys.

[Jake]

We don't get treated. We don't get treated real well. Walk ons. Yeah, there's a. There's a negative connotation of being a walk on. I mean, you think about Delaney, the way he talks to free agents.

[Delaney Walker]

There is.

[Clay Matthews]

There is.

[Jake]

I'm glad I don't answer.

[Delaney Walker]

I didn't do that in college, though. In college, I loved everyone, even the walk on.

[Will Compton]

You were a Missouri South, But I was. Instituted technology.

[Delaney Walker]

I was the biggest person there, so I could have treated people like shit. Like, I knew I was going somewhere after here.

[Clay Matthews]

I mean, I wasn't carrying the connotation with walk ons, like, to the walk on. Like, I kind of rocked with everybody. Like, I would have been the guy where you guys are. You guys are embracing the suck of being a walk on. And if we're walking by the equipment room, like, I'm busing the equipment room, I'm busting their balls because they're not hooking you up when you guys need some socks. Or if you're like, hey, if you say you were a young walk on and I happen to be a junior senior, and you're like, dude, we can't even get extra socks. Like, I'll be. I'll go get you some socks.

[Jake]

That's nice.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Jake]

Best friend was the kicker, guaranteed.

[Clay Matthews]

You talking about Maher? Yeah. Audi.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

I was cool with everybody.

[Jake]

All right, that's good to hear.

[Clay Matthews]

I was cool with everybody.

[Dr. Dennis Black]

Just checking.

[Clay Matthews]

You just. You're just checking that because the. The Hulu login thing, huh?

[Jake]

Well, I just want to know what type of guy you are, that's all.

[Will Compton]

Okay.

[Clay Matthews]

Great week of games coming out.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, great week.

[Jake]

Thanks, David.

[Will Compton]

Good boys. For sure.

[Jake]

Oh, maybe there's like, some tension.

[Clay Matthews]

Oh, yeah. It is a USC Nebraska week.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Jake]

I forgot about that.

[Will Compton]

Usc, Nebraska is playing this week.

[Clay Matthews]

Hey, good luck, man.

[Jake]

You flying out there, running the team out of the huddle, planting the flag.

[Clay Matthews]

These are my greatest years.

[Jake]

All black, going to your own funeral. That's why we're already wanting this shit.

[Delaney Walker]

He keeps saying it like, you didn't have no good years in the NFL.

[Will Compton]

All black. Going to your own funeral is a great line.

[Clay Matthews]

In 2015 when he got the Pro.

[Guest]

Bowl, y' all gotta make it bad for the.

[Delaney Walker]

So it was his name, huh? It was his name.

[Clay Matthews]

It was his name.

[Delaney Walker]

It was his name.

[Clay Matthews]

It was his name. What's the bet?

[Guest]

Yeah, y' all gotta make it.

[Clay Matthews]

The bet is Nebraska wins. He has to concede, is Pro bowl in 2015. And I am now slotted as a Pro Bowl Wikipedia.

[Jake]

Don't slide it on over to yours. How many votes did my man get in 2015 for Pro Bowl? Let's look it up. Damn. Okay.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, thank you, J.P. because J.P. was voting over and over.

[Will Compton]

I'll tell you what, man, being a Matthews must have been a pretty easy life.

[Jake]

Wow.

[Delaney Walker]

Wow.

[Will Compton]

Must have been pretty easy, huh?

[Jake]

You think it just comes easy, right?

[Will Compton]

Who's that? Chael Sutton. You think we only had a cleaner come three times a week? What do you think we were doing those other four days? Yeah, I had to clean it.

[Jake]

My dad barely made six figures. But, you know, we didn't get married back then, bro. I was being Chael son. And I'm. But you're right. The salary wasn't the same. Daddy had to keep playing. You know what's interesting? My dad played a year 19 in Atlanta, and then year 20, Baltimore Ravens, reached out to him and said, hey, we got a young linebacker out of Miami, number 52. We'd love for you to, you know, to kind of show the ropes and whatnot. Oh, Ray Lewis. But dad had five kids. My sister was a sophomore in high school. That's how long he played. He was 40 years old. He had to shut it down. Had to shut it down. But he was still moving. Still moving. I think he led the team in Saxon at 39, 46.

[Delaney Walker]

That's crazy.

[Clay Matthews]

40 years old.

[Jake]

But it comes easy, though. You know what I'm saying? Like, we just fall into plays, get money. You know what I'm saying? Scholarships everywhere. No scholarships, no burn. I did. I had to earn it on special teams, prove myself versus Michigan in the Rose Bowl. 2007 versus Nebraska. I had to find these games to, you know, elevate myself. Oh, that was already there. We sold that. Yeah, done that. We moved out to Nashville. It was big. 14,000 square feet, you know, saying. I see the show, though.

[Will Compton]

How about this show? You want something with the games?

[Delaney Walker]

Let's do it.

[Will Compton]

Let's talk about the games. Broncos. All right. Texas Texans are favored by 1 1/2 against Will Compton's Denver Broncos. Total points. That game is 39 and a half points.

[Jake]

Who's leading it?

[Will Compton]

Clay, you've been talking a lot. This show. What do you got?

[Jake]

Yeah, well, let's keep it going. Broncos look good. Broncos have been rolling five in a row. Bo, nix those. For four touchdowns. Who's this? RJ Harvey. Yeah, I had to.

[Delaney Walker]

I had to come out of nowhere.

[Jake]

Yeah, where he came from, but him and J.K. dobbins run for over 150 yards. They account for three touchdowns and their defense forces MVP Dak in two two interceptions in two sacks. I don't know where I got my information from last week thinking that the Cowboys could outgun out duel the Denver Broncos. I'm going to learn from that and you'll see in a couple picks from now who I picked between the Cardinals and the Cowboys. So my bad in that regard. But I'll tell you who doesn't play like the Cowboys. That's the Texans defense. They look good, they look real good against the 49ers. But what I will say is I think they had the success they did offensively strictly because of the attrition and the injuries. The 49ers have no Nick Bosa, no Warner, no Huff. C.J. stroud looked incredibly comfortable in the pocket, made every throw he needed to, completed a lot of those third and shorts. But I think that's the difference in the game this week. I think the Broncos pass rush gets after CJ in their I think their 30th ranked pass protection, whatever it is, whatever metric it is to measure that old line and they get the dub right here. Now listen, Stroud has only been. I know, I know you love my stats. Stroud has only been sacked 15 times this year, which is for middle of the pack. But the three games where he's been sacked at least three times. 03. And what team Delaney leads the league in sacks?

[Delaney Walker]

The Broncos.

[Jake]

The Broncos. So give me the Broncos money line at +110.

[Clay Matthews]

I like that pick.

[Will Compton]

I love that pick. Yeah, and you're right about those Cowboys. We'll get to the Cowboys in a little bit.

[Jake]

We'll get to them.

[Will Compton]

But Bo Nix and the Broncos usually start slow first quarters, always had the roughest time and then they throw a pick in the first drive of the game against the Cowboys to where you're thinking, hey, maybe that guy that was talking to the Cowboys is pretty smart. Bad throw ends up being their best start in the first quarter they've ever had after they hold the Cowboys to three points. Who has a high flying offense because their defense is that good. I love their run game. I love their defense for the two things that travel, run game and defense. I'm taking the cow, I'm taking the Broncos and I'll take a money line as well.

[Jake]

Love it.

[Delaney Walker]

I mean y' all have said pretty much everything. One thing y' all didn't speak on was the Texans O line and that's the concern right there. The Texans online, you said something about Texas a little bit 30th. Oh yeah, they're very terrible. Like you said, the Broncos lead. They lead in the leading sacks. They're fifth in the fewest points yards allowed. I just don't see the Texans winning this game. I'm going to follow suit and take money line with you boys.

[Clay Matthews]

I think I'm going Houston. I think I'm going Houston. I was watching that game against the Niners last week and their offense in totality they're the 17th offense in the league. They kind of started slow the first half of the year, but their last three games they're fourth in the league in total offense. And when you watch like Niners, they come, they're prepared, they're urgent. Like dudes still fly around. I know that they have a lot of injuries going on, but still the Niners have been playing salty top to bottom and looking at Houston. Fourteen plays they held the Niners to in the first half. Fourteen total plays in the first half. Four plays punt three and out three and out four plays that started at the Houston 35 was the touchdown that the Niners had where Kittle had that great catch in traffic. The Houston defense was for real. I do think that they will the Broncos problems and outside of that they gave up a 12 play drive for a touchdown and another eight play drive that ended in an interception. Like they're very opportunistic. And the Houston defense, let me see here. The Houston offense, my apologies. 16 play drive in the first half, 9 play drive, 10 play drive, 11 play drive and they had a 12 play drive for a touchdown, 10 play drive for a field goal. They only punted one time and then they iced the game. I think their offense is coming along. I think C.J. stroud, he's looking a lot more comfortable that you were alluding to. They're getting a lot more creative on offense. I think they're coming alive. I think that they get this one out at home in Houston. Houston -1 1 1/2 is what is what your boy's going with. I love the Broncos. I think the Broncos are still going to win that division. I just think Houston's kind of catch is kind of catching a stride right now. Their defense is legit and I think they give problems to the to the Broncos offense.

[Will Compton]

A crazy stat that happened in the first half was at one point the 49ers had 10 plays and the Texans had 10 first downs. That's how much time position they took over yeah, dude.

[Delaney Walker]

Their defense 14.

[Clay Matthews]

The Niners offense 14 plays in the first half.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

And complemented with that, the Houston offense having all those double digit play series, getting points out of it. Like they're good, man.

[Will Compton]

And the 49ers had like two or three more defensive linemen hurt to the point where they got dudes coming off.

[Delaney Walker]

The street right now.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, they're about to call Clay.

[Clay Matthews]

Broncos defense is nasty. I love watching them play.

[Delaney Walker]

I mean, they're missing. They're missing a key point. Patrick is not going right.

[Clay Matthews]

Certain is not in out there.

[Delaney Walker]

So I mean, that front end go. I feel like they'll keep CJ office marks and, and give the, the DBs who's coming out there time to cover. But you, when you lose a Pro bowl all Pro, the corner like that, it's. It's tough.

[Will Compton]

It's tough. But you also see like he went.

[Jake]

Out early in the game and they still.

[Will Compton]

Lamb, George, Pickens, Ferguson, and they still did a great job of scheming up and all that. Like it was. It's impressive what that defense can do.

[Delaney Walker]

No, definitely. I mean, that's Sean Payton. Y' all know what time it is.

[Will Compton]

And he gets. Only gets better.

[Jake]

November. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Next game, vikings at Lions. J.J. mcCarthy starting for the Vikings this week, Carson Wentz. My God, like I had playing on a broken shoulder.

[Delaney Walker]

Jesus Christ.

[Will Compton]

Lions are favored. Spooky line. Eight and a half. And the total points in that game is 48 and a half. I think this is Lions all the way. It's a division game. There's no, like, hey, this team is down. Like the Lions, you know, this is a put your foot on their throat type of game they're playing. They just paid their defensive end whatever, $2 billion. This is a game for them. They're going to cover. They're going to win this game by multiple touchdowns. This is a Dan Campbell football game right here.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, I love Lions minus eight and a half. Yeah, this is. It's a big line. But again, it's like J.J. mcCarthy starting. Carson Wentz was playing on a broken shoulder. J.J. was medically cleared to play. I feel like there's a sense there, like, hey, if he was ready to go and Wentz is out there looking the way Wentz was, it was almost just sad to watch. Yo, get this dude. Just get him off the feet.

[Guest]

Do you think he was forced to play?

[Delaney Walker]

Of course.

[Will Compton]

He's a Dakota kid. He's one of the Dakota kids.

[Delaney Walker]

Can you play? Yes, I can play. But sometimes, deep down, sometimes we need to sit out and understand that if we let one more week to let this injury heal, we'll be better off doing that. But it's football. If the coach come and be like, can you play?

[Jake]

We need you.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm there, Coach.

[Clay Matthews]

You gotta protect the player. I don't know. Yeah, but I did that before.

[Delaney Walker]

You did that before, right?

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, but I'm not. I'm not buying the. Them coming in with the. With an urgency of like, hey, you can go, right? Like, can you play? Like, this is on you? Yeah. I think that they're like, he's a quarterback.

[Will Compton]

This is in Varsity Blues, where they, you know, go into the training room, they got a needle put up to Carson Wentz's shoulder.

[Clay Matthews]

Like, they might simply lay it up like, hey, how you feeling today? But he's just so. He's going to play. Like, the opportunity that Carson had in front of him, it's like the starting cue goes down. Here's your spot to kind of like, get back in all conversations of creating value for yourself. Whether or not you're going to stay with the Vikings or go somewhere else, you're absolutely going to be blinded to. I need a. You know, I need to kind of rest myself. You're going to.

[Dr. Dennis Black]

You're going to.

[Clay Matthews]

You're going to be demanding to play.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, I know you're a backup quarterback.

[Guest]

I think if. If JJ was medically cleared to play, they're that not confident in him, that they put Carson out there with his shoulders.

[Clay Matthews]

That's how I'm feeling about them going into Detroit and getting their ass whooped by Detroit is if JJ McCarthy was fully ready to go. And they're still going off of Carson Wentz, just him being like, I can play. I can do this. I can do this. And you're kind of. You're kind of questioning it, and then you're not going to. The guy that you're going to be starting in the future. That's where it's like, I feel like they have. They have some doubts still with JJ McCarthy.

[Jake]

I think it gets worse for the Vikings there. I think it's worse with McCarthy. I know we only have a short 8/4 to judge him off him, but Taylor, as you always say, everybody says, the greatest ability is your availability. He wasn't there his rookie year. He just missed five, you know, whatever weeks it was with an ankle injury.

[Clay Matthews]

He just played well. What, two quarters against the Bears opening week?

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

Who knows?

[Jake]

If that's just, you know, the Bears, we can't figure out what type of team they are. But nonetheless, I think, I think they got a problem on their hands. I think organizationally they are going to take a step back and if they had a do over, I think we can all agree that they would have re signed Sam Darnold, which made sense at the time based on the way he played. But as you continue to look at the way Sam Darnold develops and JJ McCarthy doesn't, I mean they had 14 wins last year and they'll be lucky to have half that this year. I think they've got a big problem on their hands. I love the Lions to cover here and then if we're strictly talking strategy rather than, you know, how we're feeling about the quarterback. Vikings are bottom 10 run defense. Jameer Gibbs is having a, or had a career day of lines from 200 yards, scrimmage yards. I look for him and that speed to just get off. He's going to be my anytime touchdown score. We'll talk about that later. But. And on top of that, the Lions defense gets their whole secondary back. Brian Branch off suspension. Kirby Joseph, D.J. reed, Terrion Arnold. I think this is bad for the Vikings and I think this is, this is. They're going to be fighting with the Bears for that last place in NFC North. Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

And they're coming in this weekend. It's like the Detroit Lions like that defense, like even if they had the backup secondary, like they played their ass off when they were all in, everybody was replaced on the back end. Like they're coming in to Detroit where they are hitting their stride defensively. We know what that offense can do. Aiden Hutchinson getting a huge payday. You're just seeing the on the outside, seeing the Halloween party that they had. Jameer Gibbs like the vibe is just there in Detroit. Yeah, Minnesota is, I agree with you look to be in trouble for the.

[Jake]

Rest of the year.

[Will Compton]

The only thing you question with lines like this is culture. And you're not going to find a better culture than the Lions.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh definitely. Especially with their coach and Dan. I mean you look at the Vikings, they injured, inconsistent offensive play. The Lions just getting healthier like you said the bye week they getting some of them DBs back in that back end. So I just feel like the Lions is here to stay. Hopefully it can get to the ship.

[Clay Matthews]

So let's go.

[Delaney Walker]

Lions minus eight and a half.

[Clay Matthews]

Did everybody go Lions minus eight and a half.

[Jake]

Everyone went Lions.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Lions rolling.

[Clay Matthews]

Tune that. I mean that scares me, but I.

[Will Compton]

Don'T think it should. I think that's One of the it's kiss method.

[Clay Matthews]

Keep it simple. Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Michelob Ultra superior is worth playing for. Superior light beer. All the things I'm 4 and 6 or your. Yeah, our record's 4 and 6 roughly. Resistors, are you ready?

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, I'm ready. Superior light beer. Superior bragging rights.

[Will Compton]

It down to 1 Michel of ultra superiors worth playing for.

[Clay Matthews]

Colts at Steelers. Colts favorite in this game minus three. Steelers once again dogs at home. The over under on this game is 50 and a half.

[Will Compton]

I believe the Colts are contenders.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

And the Colts in all three phases of the game are fantastic. They are the number one rusher in the league. They have an offensive line that's given up seven sacks this entire year. Indiana Jones playing incredible like. And then you look at the Steelers side and it's like, okay, you lose a game on Thursday night football versus the Bengals. You should have won with Joe Flacco has been there for eight days at the time. Then you go against the packers and for three quarters of that game it is competitive.

[Delaney Walker]

It was competitive.

[Will Compton]

It's very competitive. The wheels fall off. The biggest thing for the Steelers is they have all the money in their defense and they are not playing up to their standard from a defensive front standpoint. They're not getting pressure on the quarterback like they should be with how much money they have in that and that the back end. There's so many communication errors to where if they just played man and say, hey corners, you guys are seeing those guys, they could probably do that. But when they're passing guys off and Patrick Queens is trying to say something and looking back and no one's relaying the same hand gesture as he is.

[Clay Matthews]

Then they're getting caught off guard too.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, huge issue.

[Delaney Walker]

It's going to get worse.

[Will Compton]

This is it. This is a line. This is. This is candy. This is Halloween. This is Colts minus minus three. This is as responsibly as you can hammer this. That's how confident I feel about Colts -3 in this game.

[Delaney Walker]

It's going to get worse on the back end of Steelers too. They missing Elliot. That's the key. He makes most of the calls for the DBs in the back as a strong safety. They missing him. A D tackle is not going to be out there as well. That's a key factor on that defense. So I mean, I think you said it. The inconsistency on that defense, the injury concerns with the Steelers and the Colts just look fucking phenomenal. I hate to say that just because I played against him so many years, but Dan Jones has just regenerated himself. I mean, we all thought he was out for the count. The boy goes to the Colts and just. I don't even know what he doing. They probably got some fire ass cocaine out there, but my man is out there playing on fire, bro.

[Jake]

He just like go, let's get this dub Danny White.

[Delaney Walker]

That's what he doing.

[Will Compton]

He got the eyes too.

[Delaney Walker]

He got the eyes. I mean, the owner got the eyes. I want. I don't want to be first to say. I guess I am for.

[Jake]

She's the daughter. Oh yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

She scared me. She be out there like, I'm like, is something wrong with her or what?

[Jake]

People's as big as yours, right?

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, yeah, pretty much. No. But she's awesome. I'm glad that that's. Everything is working out for the Colts. They firing off of her being out on the field getting that, getting that energy. You can see it. So, I mean, I think the Colts is definitely going to be the AFC champs.

[Clay Matthews]

Are we allergic to totals in this?

[Will Compton]

No.

[Clay Matthews]

Can I go over 50 and a half?

[Jake]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You could take the total now.

[Jake]

Are these 40 of them by the Colts? What are we thinking?

[Clay Matthews]

I think Pittsburgh can keep up as a. With an Aaron Rodgers game here. I think points will be scored. I like over 50 and a half. Because if the Steelers do somehow make this game happen, it's going to be just on, on that offense. Because I think the Colts, Pittsburgh is just, what, out of their, what, seven games? What are they, four and three?

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Other seven games, defense has only showed up twice. I do think the Colts continue to play at a really high level offensively. But I still, like, I just can't get off. I can't get off some Aaron Rodgers games. Him tossing the rock.

[Jake]

Learn from my mistake. Last week I came on here, I said, a Rod's gonna throw for four touchdowns, 300 yards. They're gonna upset the pack.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, but we knew that that was a dumb call.

[Jake]

No, but you know. Cause what we just said, for two quarters, maybe three, it was close. A Rod had that. A Rod had that big throw on the first drive. But I'll tell you what, when they came out in those 1930s ugly gold jersey, I knew it was over at that point. Like those are.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, people say these jerseys are fire.

[Jake]

I'm like, Denver. No, Denver's are all time.

[Will Compton]

That's a pumpkin.

[Jake]

Fire. But listen, give me the Colts at minus three. I just think I learned. I learned the hard way. A Rod's a dog. He's Been everything the Steelers have wanted from. But they do not have an O line that can protect for them a mediocre run game. Aside from dk, there's nobody in there who can catch and their defense is 32nd in pass yards allowed, whereas. Oh, who's third in the league and throwing right now? Indiana Jones. So, okay, let's take away the pass. Well, guess who's leading the league in tutties? My man Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

[Clay Matthews]

That old line is awesome.

[Jake]

Now, now listen, the only thing that can that that might play in the fact is that the Colts have only played one outside game. So I'm not sure what the temperature is supposed to be. You know, the elements are supposed to be in Pittsburgh, but I just don't see it happening with that good of an O line, that good of a run game or with how well Danny Dimes is playing right now.

[Delaney Walker]

You know what I always say about element and outside. If you have a strong run game, that shit don't matter.

[Will Compton]

Don't matter.

[Jake]

Yeah. Okay.

[Will Compton]

Well, I do like your over and what I think is you saw going everyone going Colts and you're like, let me figure out a way to be different here also.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah, I don't want to be across the board. And again, I love points. This game over 50 and a half.

[Will Compton]

Yeah. Weather's gonna. You know what the weather is like? City? Utah. It's really nice.

[Delaney Walker]

Apparently that's gonna change if you watch.

[Will Compton]

The college football portion. You understand what I'm saying?

[Delaney Walker]

Stops the Steelers from having.

[Will Compton]

Not in the northeast though. Northeast gonna be tough. Especially on Thursday.

[Clay Matthews]

You could see under. You can easily see under.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah. If it's. If it's a bad weather game.

[Clay Matthews]

You see Colts winning 30 to 10.

[FanDuel Announcer]

If the.

[Clay Matthews]

If the Steelers win, you could just see them winning by field goal. That still being under. But let's just root for some points here. Year for points all the weekend.

[Will Compton]

That might be a nice little parlay though. Point the over plus Colts minus three in there. Minus three. People want to say half. Maybe. Maybe.

[Guest]

Commanders, the weather In Pittsburgh is 52 and partly cloudy.

[Dr. Dennis Black]

Oh.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, that's perfect.

[Clay Matthews]

Perfect. Great football weather.

[Delaney Walker]

That's football right there, boy.

[Will Compton]

Sunday night football. Seahawks at commander. Seahawks are favored minus three and a half. Total net game is 46 and a half point. Don't overthink it. This is Seahawks.

[Delaney Walker]

Should we even talk about Sam Donald?

[Will Compton]

This is McDonald. This is the defense. Commanders.

[Delaney Walker]

Well, he may be competitive with the.

[Will Compton]

Chiefs for the first half.

[Delaney Walker]

They may get they guy back. They may get they got back. It's talks that he may play this week.

[Clay Matthews]

I don't think it matters.

[Delaney Walker]

He haven't been that great this year. Obviously it's the sophomore slumps. We talked about it earlier in the show. Not earlier in the show, but prior in the show. I don't know.

[Jake]

Yeah, I think the magic's gone.

[Delaney Walker]

You think the magic's gone?

[Jake]

I think the magic's gone. You look at last year, they converted like 25 of 28 fourth downs. Like obviously he just exploded on the scene. We thought he was Lamar Jackson 2.0. But it obviously helped getting Deebo back and scary Terry. I mean those were two of the most amazing catches I've seen all year.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Jake]

But I just don't think they have enough horsepower, firepower, whatever you want to call it. And especially on defense, they're not getting pressure on the quarterback. They're just not doing enough. I think, I think this is it for the Commanders this year. I think they don't have a real chance at even playing for a wild card spot. And I see the Seahawks playing too well. 101 record in their last 11 road games for those who love these little nuggets.

[Delaney Walker]

And they're getting healthier.

[Jake]

They're getting. Seahawks will have the entire secondary back as well.

[Clay Matthews]

And their defense is just coming alive with their head coach McDonald like that defense, like we talk about Sammy D. JSN the run game and everything else. Like they're. They're nice on offense, but I think their defense complements them really well. And again, it's like the commanders, it sucks. But 0:3 in their last three against the Bears, Cowboys and Chiefs and just looking at their schedule because I hate that it's scary hours out there in Washington because their defense as well as they play, especially front seven wise, like getting after the quarterback a little bit, stopping the run. They had some promise, like they made some big progress since last year, but now they're very much kind of getting back to what the defense was last year, which is bottom in the league in a few categories. But you got the Eagles twice, you got the Broncos, you got the Lions next week. You get the Lions next week after Seattle. For this line to be three and a half in Washington, I think Seattle will travel well. And again they're playing defense at a high level. And I love me some Sammy D. I like Seattle minus three and a half.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, the only issue is going from west to east. I travel. But it's Sunday night football game too, so you have plenty of time.

[Delaney Walker]

So they'll have plenty of Time to rest.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, man, it's love. Sunday night.

[Will Compton]

So we're across the board on Seattle.

[Dr. Dennis Black]

Yeah.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

Y' all know I'm going to Seattle for sure.

[Will Compton]

I think we'll be different on this one. Cardinals at Cowboys. Cowboys minus three total points. That game is 53 and a half.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm taking the over 53.

[Will Compton]

Over 53, which I think is a great pull. I think that's fantastic.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, I just scared of this game. I don't really know who to choose. And they getting Kyler Murray back, too.

[Jake]

So you think Kyler Murray's that guy? Like, as opposed to Jacoby Brissette?

[Delaney Walker]

They're two different types. I think Jacoby throwing the ball and controlling offense is a lot better. But Kyler is the type of dude, he can make stuff happen with his legs. He's unexpected. You never know. Like, he will get in the end zone every once in a while, but he will throw some, too. So it just. I don't know. The Cowboys are playing great. They putting a lot of points up, but I feel like the Cardinals is going to put some points up as well, too. So I'm going to just take the.

[Jake]

Over 53, I think.

[Clay Matthews]

I think Arizona kind of falls apart in the back half of the year. I mean, obviously they've had close games and their record's not very good right now, but they've lost like a total combined. Total of how many points?

[Will Compton]

13 points, I think.

[Clay Matthews]

13 points or at least we know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 13 points. I like Dallas here. Dallas minus three. And I also love George Pickens anytime. Touchdown. We'll get into the bet the voice parlay later. But I love some George Pickens here. I like Dallas in a bounce back spot at home.

[Jake]

I. I can see that. I can see.

[Clay Matthews]

I know you can see.

[Delaney Walker]

You want to. You.

[Clay Matthews]

You ready to sell the Dallas stock?

[Jake]

Well, yeah, I want to play devil's advocate about Kyler Murray, but I could see the Cowboys bouncing back. They play incredibly well at home. They just scared me. This past week I had the Cowboys circled as my money line, but then I switched it to the Cardinals. And I think there's a lot going on in Arizona right now, specifically with the quarterback position. Kyler Murray, I think, has not done enough to warrant another year of play out there. I think they move on from. From him. And you look at how well Jacoby Brissett is playing in these past two games against two very good teams, the Colts and the Packers. 600 yards passing, four touchdowns, whereas Kyler Murray has not thrown for over 220 yards, has six touchdowns, three interceptions on the year. But they're invested in him. Gannon has kind of alluded to the fact, hey, he's the guy. He's going to come back in there. So I. I think that's. I think that's something to look into. But more so than that, I think Dallas just showed defensively third. They're getting up a league worst 31 and a quarter points per game. I see Kyler Murray coming back. Kind of hearing the noise. Friend. Is he a friend of the show? Because he might hear the noise coming from Kyler Murray.

[Will Compton]

He's not a friend of the show. I'm sure he watches the show.

[Delaney Walker]

Definitely watches.

[Jake]

So he's. He's hearing it. He's hearing the detractors. Hey, little stat, though, since high school. Kyler murray at @t stadium, nine and. Oh, I know. Oh, how we feeling?

[Delaney Walker]

I got a stat for you, too.

[Jake]

Okay, well, hey, I'm going with the Cardinals. Give me the money line at +130. I just don't think the defense. I think they're going to do enough. The Cardinals. I don't know why. I don't know why. You just feel this is like when the Bucks beat the Seahawks. I just feel this one. I feel this one. I'm not in on the Cowboys defense. I know Dak plays incredibly well at home, but just give me the Cardinals. Enough explaining.

[Clay Matthews]

What's your stat? What's the stat?

[Delaney Walker]

To come back, Cowboys has. Has lost seven out of eight last matchups against the Cardinals. Seven out of eight. So they only won one so far. So, I mean, he may be. He may. May have something going on.

[Jake]

Saying he's going back to Texas.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Jake]

You know what I'm saying, Mr. Mr. Texas.

[Delaney Walker]

Best player they played in Texas. I want to say three out of the four out of those times. Out of that six, eight times they played in Texas.

[Jake]

So.

[Will Compton]

Can I be honest with you? That stat was better than I expected it to be. I thought this was gonna be like a four.

[Delaney Walker]

Crazy.

[Will Compton]

I thought it'd be some crazy.

[Delaney Walker]

I had that at first, and I'm like, yo, that ain't relevant.

[Will Compton]

It's good for you to ask yourself that question.

[Delaney Walker]

But, you know, I like throwing stats out like that. I like the people to start thinking about what I just said.

[Will Compton]

Speaking of, do you guys remember being a freshman in high school? Like going 8th grade? Everyone's kind of on the same playing field. You get to become a freshman in high school, and you're like, Kind of starting to go through puberty. You're seeing all the girls that are a couple of years older than you, and they're starting to develop a little bit more. And there's that one sophomore that's kind of like a little bit more developed than the rest of them. And you're like, yo, who's that girl? All the boys like, listen, man, you got no chance.

[Jake]

No chance.

[Will Compton]

And also toxic, got daddy issues type of thing.

[Delaney Walker]

She don't talk.

[Will Compton]

But for whatever reason, second semester after Christmas, maybe you get a couple inches taller and she starts batting her eyes at you a little bit. And you heard all the, hey, watch out for that girl. But she's batting her eyes at you now. So you take her on a date and you get what you want. But then after that, you see all the things kind of going on. Like, okay, I can see she's a little more toxic. She's outside my house in the middle of the night, throwing rocks in my window, telling me she's crazy, she's pregnant. All these things.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

And you realize, oh, I understand. So you kind of back away from that. And then a couple weeks later, you're like, I do kind of miss her a little bit. That's where I stand with the Cowboys. Because last week I sat there and I'm like, bro, I'm telling you, if this defense can just be average, they.

[Clay Matthews]

Are going to be great.

[Will Compton]

Then I watch the Broncos, incoming. I have my little fun with them. I get punched in the dick a little bit. And how to go looking at this. And I got the Cowboys, who score 42 points a game when they're at home. They're a completely different offense when they're at home than when they're away. I should have seen it. They didn't beat the Broncos since 1996 Cardinals. All their losses, if you took all the points they've lost combined, it's 13 points. But here I'm again looking at the hot girl, looking at the star, and I'll be going, cowboys minus three and a half or whatever it is.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, that cookie must be good.

[Clay Matthews]

He said, did you say minus 13 and a half?

[Will Compton]

No. Minus 13.

[Jake]

I said, you know, you're low.

[Clay Matthews]

Gotcha.

[Delaney Walker]

That could be.

[Will Compton]

You know what I'm talking about, though, right? You know. You know, the exact girl, when I was explaining that story, she can't quit him. I remember her.

[Delaney Walker]

I quit him.

[Clay Matthews]

I know you didn't.

[Will Compton]

You weren't a hopeless romantic like me.

[Delaney Walker]

No, I'm a pimp. I need multiple fuck that one.

[Jake]

Okay.

[Will Compton]

We are brought to you by True Classic. You can find True Classic at Amazon and Costco, Sam's club, Target nationwide. You can find them online trueclassic.com Bussin look good, feel good, play good. I got the pants on right now. I'm wearing a little pirate outfit. This is not that. But you get the little Pima T shirts. Dude, I'm telling you that the curve on the side. Grab his chest, grab his shoulders. Just kind of make you feel better. Holiday season is upon us. We'll have a lot of candy this weekend. Then you're going to get. Hey, listen, Thanksgiving's right there. I might as well just kind of keep spoiling myself. Thanksgiving there and then you get to Christmas time. Now you put in two and a half months of woof, right? You want to feel boof. Instead of woof, you're going to put the True Classic T shirt on. Let's get back to the episode True.

[Clay Matthews]

Classic game of the week. Every Sunday's got games, but only one fits just right. This is True Classics game of the week and it's the Kansas City Chiefs at the Buffalo bills. Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen. Bills underdogs at home by one and a half points. Chiefs favored by one and a half. The over under on this game, 52 and a half. Bills, Chiefs. Bills, money line. Chiefs, Bills, money line.

[Delaney Walker]

Chiefs getting healthier. Bills is getting injured. They got what Ed Oliver, Matt Maliano, Daquan Jones, what Taylor rap. They all injured. These is key guys who make plays for the Bills. I just don't see them beating the Chiefs right now. Chiefs is healthy.

[Clay Matthews]

They look good.

[Delaney Walker]

They fine on all cylinders.

[Clay Matthews]

What's the regular season record?

[Will Compton]

Three and O. Josh Allen.

[Jake]

Wait, four is it four and oh, right, four and they played the last six years and I think the last four years.

[Clay Matthews]

I thought there was one that the Chiefs got four, zero.

[Dr. Dennis Black]

I thought it was like 4, 040.

[Will Compton]

Regular season for the bill.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Bills are one and three in the playoffs. In the playoffs was the Chiefs.

[Dr. Dennis Black]

Yeah.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm still taking the Chiefs 4 and 1.

[Clay Matthews]

That's why.

[Will Compton]

4 and 1.

[Delaney Walker]

4 and 1.

[Jake]

Okay.

[Delaney Walker]

It was last year, right? That one, the one was last year. Correct.

[Guest]

The Bills won last year.

[Delaney Walker]

Okay.

[Guest]

It was the year before and it's in Buffalo too.

[Will Compton]

Last year when this, when this game came up, I had to do the locker room by myself and I had the same stat. Yeah. And I threw a whole spiel about how like we need the Chiefs to win this game in order for the Bills to Win this game in the playoffs. Time has gone by, but my opinion still stays the same. I need the Chiefs to win this game so the Bills can get to the super bowl this year in the playoffs. So give me the Chiefs.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm taking the Chiefs.

[Jake]

Let's just talk facts, though, about this game, all right? There's two reasons why the Chiefs are going to win the game this year, okay? It's because Mahomes is playing like Patrick Mahomes. He is looking good right now. MVP Mahomes. Okay? And when they win this game, he's only going to propel himself to his second or third mvp. But I'll tell you why he's going to do it. Not only the way in which he's playing, but it's. It's mainly because of that Buffalo defense. They are right in front in the 31st slot of Rush defense. Just terrible. Okay. When you got Andy Reid on the other side, who's just going to. Game plan. He's going to exploit that with the Pacheco.

[Delaney Walker]

No, no, no. Pacheco. Kareem Hunt. He's out.

[Clay Matthews]

Pacheco's out.

[Delaney Walker]

Pacheco's out.

[Jake]

I'm gonna give him a game time decision.

[Clay Matthews]

Okay. They've been struggling to run the ball, too. The Chiefs have been struggling to run the.

[Delaney Walker]

I think they're gonna be better with Kareem Hunt, though.

[Jake]

Passes is an extension of the run game. I'm not worried about that. And Rasheed Rice is playing like a dog right now. It's opening up. I talked about this last week. It's opening up that underneath routes for Kelsey and Mahomes has been so great at that quick game, just getting rid of it. But he was playing backyard ball on Monday night against the Commanders. Four seconds back there. Just looking around, just slinging it all over the field. He's playing incredibly well. I like the momentum of them right now. I like them taking advantage of the Bill's defense. Obviously I can listen. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills win. But. But give me the Chiefs. It's definitely minus one and a half.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm gonna have to. I'm gonna take the Chief's money line. It's gonna be close. I'll take the cheese.

[Dr. Dennis Black]

Money on. Hold on.

[Clay Matthews]

Chief's your favorite.

[Will Compton]

She's your favorite.

[Delaney Walker]

Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm gonna just keep the cheese. I didn't see that. My eyes.

[Will Compton]

You got bills.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm taking Bills. I'll sit in the pocket. I'll sit in the pocket. I'm sitting in the pocket for what? Bills and the Texans.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Will Compton]

You're in a good spot.

[Jake]

Separation Sunday, it's a 325 game, so we got time. No, what I'm saying is, like, it's.

[Will Compton]

We got time till the game starts.

[Jake]

We do have time. I'm just saying I don't think it's not gonna be the atmosphere like a Sunday night. No, that's just what I'm looking at.

[Will Compton]

What's the weather?

[Jake]

Well, later in northeast doesn't matter for both teams.

[Delaney Walker]

So I was on the NFL call yesterday and they said the earlier game. So every game that play at noon, less cameras. Right. Because there's more games playing at noon. So the later games, you get more cameras, more attention to that game. So I'm assuming since this is a 3 o' clock game, we gonna have a lot of action going on with this Bill's Chiefs game. So I think it's going to be a big, big game.

[Guest]

49 and cloudy in Buffalo.

[Delaney Walker]

Perfect weather, beautiful football, man.

[Will Compton]

I kind of want to take Josh, but it's Josh.

[Clay Matthews]

It's James Cook. Like, they. They're running the ball. They run the ball really well, but.

[Will Compton]

Spags is defense and they're healthy.

[Delaney Walker]

They're healthy.

[Will Compton]

Karloftis. Karloftis. He's playing well. Like, did I say they got anybody? Yeah, honestly, I'll stay with the Chiefs because I want the Chiefs to. This is a longer play. This is my January play. It's when they meet again, I won't even have to explain myself. I'll be going Bills.

[Jake]

That makes sense.

[Will Compton]

Oh, that's smart, given the Chiefs win.

[Clay Matthews]

If not, that game will be at Kansas City.

[Delaney Walker]

Yep.

[Will Compton]

Good.

[Delaney Walker]

I mean, you can win in Kansas City. We've done it multiple times. You can win in Kansas City.

[Will Compton]

Multiple times.

[Delaney Walker]

Multiple times.

[Will Compton]

You probably never even played the Chiefs, dude.

[Jake]

Nah, we played him a few times back with Jamal Charles, Alex Smith. They had a good team.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, they still had a good team there.

[Jake]

I think this game.

[Clay Matthews]

Did you play back when they had Priest Homes?

[Delaney Walker]

No, no, no, no. Maybe I was there.

[Jake]

You was in the league what year.

[Delaney Walker]

You was in the league?

[Jake]

My first year was 2009.

[Guest]

I think he probably. I think he may have retired like 2010, 2011.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah. You already didn't play against him, but he was in the league in that.

[Jake]

Was first couple years. He's trying to keep your head. Like, I don't even know who I was playing against until I look back and I'm like, damn, I played against so and so. I think just in regard to this game, it's not about. At this point, I'm not talking about who's going to win. I think they're both in the AFC West. The Chiefs are third right now. They're, you know, they're trending upwards. The Bills are obviously right behind the Patriots. I think the loser of this game is playing for a wild card birth. Wild card seed, which is fine. This game usually determine who's going to be the number one seed in the afc, who's going to have home field advantage. So it's just. Doesn't mean a whole lot. It's just something to think about moving forward. I don't think either of these teams would be scared to go on the road versus Pittsburgh or actually the Ravens. I'm telling you, I told you they were going to go one in five. I didn't change. I didn't change.

[Delaney Walker]

My.

[Jake]

My pick last when Lamar, when they played a little funny business and Lamar didn't show up. They still beat the Bears. I'm telling you, they're on the way up to the number one.

[Will Compton]

That small sample size is a genius. People forget that you also took every single favorite during our future show, bro.

[Jake]

And who always wins? The bank, Vegas, the sportsbook.

[Delaney Walker]

That's true.

[Jake]

I'm a winner. What do you want?

[Will Compton]

You're a winner.

[Jake]

I side with the winners.

[Will Compton]

Yeah, with that UFC parlay this first weekend, bro.

[Clay Matthews]

No, hey, I didn't even touch the. He sent in the UFC parlay, bro. I told you I can't do this.

[Jake]

I told Sam. Hold on, hold on.

[Will Compton]

Saying I saw, I saw. And I was like, nice of cl.

[Jake]

Hey, these boys don't know about the ufc. I hit the first two. Don't hit.

[Clay Matthews]

You don't either, bro.

[Jake]

No, what are you talking about? I had.

[Clay Matthews]

You're what? On a three, you're. You're cold.

[Jake]

UFC parlay, mma, you can't bet before the fight. Parlays, you have to live bet. I'm telling you. There's so many things that move around, but I was first of all. It wouldn't have mattered anyways because it was, you know, with the eye poke that Cyril Gone had on Aspinall, who, hey, Cyril Gone looked great in that first round. I'm talking Aspinall, nose all bloody, get poked in the eye, suffered a little bit of adversity. I don't know if he really wanted it. Okay. That's all I'm saying right now. But yeah, I've come up a little short. I'm just Trying to help you out. I'm trying to give you something for your fans to eat on, some fodder. But y', all, you think like you know everything. You can't even pronounce the names of the guys who are fodder.

[Will Compton]

You're right about that. That's the first smart. That's the first right thing you said. I don't know the names. I can't say the names.

[Jake]

So you come to me.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm not saying I know everything about the ufc. I'm just saying when you shot the parlays, I rode with you on the last two blindly, bro.

[Jake]

It's like the Laney's and got beat.

[Clay Matthews]

So then when you sent this one.

[Jake]

I'm like, bro, it's like Delaney said, it's not my fault, it's the fighter's fault for not doing what I want of them. It's too much.

[Clay Matthews]

It's a four leg parlay, jp. First one hits, he texts. Second one hits, he texts with the green check mark.

[Jake]

Hey, third aim.

[Clay Matthews]

Don't hear from him again.

[Jake]

No, third. Hey, first of all, Mackenzie Darren came out of nowhere, okay? She beat the Brazilian. Like, it was just. I mean, and then it was. Like I said, it was a push at the end. It wouldn't have mattered anyways if I hit those three. They would have been like, hey, you get your money back. So that's why I wasn't really stressing about it.

[Delaney Walker]

And you'll see, fighting any kick hit, one knockout, I mean, yeah, that's hard to bet on.

[Clay Matthews]

I just need my man to win one of these ballets so that way I can feel like I'm back in. We are also brought to you by Form Energy.

[Jake]

Bet the Boys Parlay.

[Clay Matthews]

This week's Bet the Boys Parlay.

[Will Compton]

No guarantees, but I feel good about this one. JSN versus the Commanders. Boys, this. That must have been a bit. That was a victory toot.

[Jake]

No.

[Will Compton]

Oh, my God. J. Hey, it, man. JSN.

[Jake]

Bro. JSN hey, JSN Bye week. Last week, still leading the league and receiving yards by a hundred. And who Delaney? Who? Who you got?

[Delaney Walker]

Come on. Y' all know the legend himself, Jonathan Taylor.

[Jake]

Hey, should we go? Hey, two touchdowns this week because you know they're gonna.

[Delaney Walker]

I know he gonna get it, but I don't even want to.

[Jake]

They're gonna start feeding him for mvp.

[Will Compton]

You gotta make up for Clay.

[Jake]

I get.

[Delaney Walker]

Look, my man right now, I think he. I think he's the first player to ever have three rushing touchdowns in one game. No, the three games against the same team. No, he had.

[Clay Matthews]

He's.

[Delaney Walker]

Why is it going.

[Jake]

Yeah, it's three.

[Guest]

Three straight games with three touchdowns.

[Clay Matthews]

And you're right.

[Will Compton]

Two rushing and one receiving.

[Jake]

Okay, we understand the sentiment. He's good.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Are you.

[Clay Matthews]

Are you gonna. Are you jumping in, going, Jonathan Taylor time.

[Delaney Walker]

No, no, no.

[Clay Matthews]

He can do that.

[Jake]

He didn't want me.

[Clay Matthews]

Why can't he do that?

[Will Compton]

You can do that.

[Jake]

Hey, but you know who I like better than Bijan is Jameer Gibbs.

[Clay Matthews]

Yes.

[Delaney Walker]

That's why I like your pick. That's why.

[Clay Matthews]

Okay.

[Jake]

Hey, hey, listen, listen. The Vikings at home, where he's coming off a career day. Vikings bottom.

[Will Compton]

I just always get nervous about backs that split carries.

[Jake]

Well, last week, he didn't split a lot of carries with Montgomery.

[Will Compton]

Last week. It's the week nine.

[Jake]

He didn't. All I'm saying is he didn't.

[Delaney Walker]

Jamar Gibbs is a mother, a dog. He's the second best back in the NFL.

[Will Compton]

Hey, do you kind of want to go Jonathan Taylor to no shots?

[Jake]

Maybe we could put parlays together.

[Clay Matthews]

My whole thing is when Delaney's reacting like. No, no, no. It's like, bro, this is a parlay for all of us. Just because he takes Jonathan Taylor every week doesn't mean.

[Delaney Walker]

No, no, no.

[Clay Matthews]

I'm not saying Delaney's, like, undefeated. Like, this part of this leg of our parlay is undefeated.

[Will Compton]

Right.

[Clay Matthews]

Like we ever. Somebody would have Jonathan Taylor.

[Delaney Walker]

Either or. I try to give it to Will, but no one's taking it.

[Will Compton]

But. Yeah, I know.

[Delaney Walker]

I mean, Jonathan Taylor's for one touchdown.

[Guest]

Is probably going to be close to minus 300.

[Jake]

What's two? Give me.

[Guest]

Last week it was plus 130 for two times.

[Will Compton]

We can take two Wednesday, so it's probably not.

[Clay Matthews]

All I'm saying is Delaney carries it. He carrying himself like he's superior because he's got Jonathan Taylor every week.

[Will Compton]

Oh, yeah.

[Guest]

Jameer Gibbs is minus 210 to any time. I'm sure Jonathan Taylor's gonna be like minus 300.

[Delaney Walker]

No, it's like four something. It's gonna be like four something.

[Guest]

So these odds are gonna be pretty.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah. So if you want to do. Let's do. If you want to go right? Like the. The train. Ride the train.

[Clay Matthews]

I know, but I really like George Pickens. George Pickens just in, like, prime time. Like, I'm saying. I'm saying these are going to hit, and then we get to sit back and watch Monday Night Football. George Pickens.

[Jake]

Is he going to get it or.

[Clay Matthews]

Is it going to be CD Lamb? Is it going to be Javante?

[Delaney Walker]

Let's do it.

[Clay Matthews]

You're kind of in a. Yeah, you're kind of. It's like with Tucker Craft, if all of them would have hit, we would have been sitting there Sunday Night Football. Like, is it going to be. Is it going to be Tucker Kraft? Is Josh Jacobs going to have two tuddies? Is it going to be one of the receivers? Like, it kind of puts it up in the air. It's not like a lock the way we feel like Jonath Taylor is. That's why I, like, if Jonathan Taylor times two was just in the parlay.

[Delaney Walker]

Let's do it times two, then I'll take that hit.

[Will Compton]

Jonathan Taylor is a team sport.

[Delaney Walker]

No, because when people. When we lose, the fans go, damn, Will. Damn, Clay, you killed my. So I'm going to take that hit because I'm going to be the one that's going to be going back at him. Like, look, you know, they talked me into it.

[Clay Matthews]

So are we talking. Hey, it's not my fault.

[Will Compton]

They told me to do it in the show.

[Clay Matthews]

Let me put this out there. Are we talking jsn, Jonathan Taylor times two, Jameer Gibbs and George Pickens?

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it.

[Jake]

I like that.

[Delaney Walker]

I like it.

[Clay Matthews]

Four leg, but, yeah, it's a juicy four.

[Will Compton]

It's a super.

[Jake]

It's at home. Don't like it. They can just. They can take it back down to one.

[Will Compton]

But if you don't want Tabby, that'll bust with the boys. Tabby, it'll be there.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Jake]

Huh?

[Clay Matthews]

What do you mean, record?

[Will Compton]

There's no record in this.

[Clay Matthews]

That's what I'm saying. That the parlay that we built together.

[Will Compton]

This is a team thing. We all win.

[Delaney Walker]

If he don't score. If he don't score two, it's done. We lose it.

[Jake]

Right?

[Will Compton]

Put it on the tab.

[Jake]

Over there.

[Delaney Walker]

Crying, but I just start watering.

[Will Compton]

You gotta Be in hell.

[Clay Matthews]

It just started. I don't know what it was.

[Will Compton]

My ball, man, gets you emotional.

[Delaney Walker]

I'm like, damn. What the. My eyes just start watering out of nowhere.

[Clay Matthews]

So there we go. Jsn, Jonathan Taylor, two touchdowns, Jameer Gibbs and George Pickens. Monday Night Football.

[Delaney Walker]

Hey, that's gonna hit.

[Will Compton]

Can we kind of get back to late last year? We're making like eight, nine leg parlays. And just maybe come, like, maybe you bring two, we all bring two, and we put it together just like a little fun one.

[Clay Matthews]

We were like 0 for 17, right?

[Jake]

No, but did we have fun?

[Clay Matthews]

We had fun, but then we had.

[Jake]

What's the show about?

[Will Compton]

And that parlay is not about hitting all the legs. It's about hitting like 8 out of 10.

[Delaney Walker]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Oh, look how close we got.

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

You know?

[Clay Matthews]

Yeah.

[Will Compton]

Something to think about.

[Clay Matthews]

Something to think about.

[Will Compton]

The show's gonna end. We're gonna hang out for a little bit. We can talk about that.

[Clay Matthews]

Okay, sounds good.

[Jake]

So we doing that. We bring in something in, we'll talk about it possibly.

[Will Compton]

And I want you to look over your left shoulder and I want you to apologize to that sign.

[Jake]

You see, Hey, I woke up a couple days ago, my neck was in spasm, bro. Like, I can't really move.

[Will Compton]

Yeah.

[Jake]

What am I looking at?

[Will Compton]

Say sorry.

[Clay Matthews]

Big hugs, tiny kisses. We will see you next week. Let's win them all this weekend.
