Where do we even start, bro? I just.
Taylor
Yeah, yeah.
Clay Matthews
Fired up for you, Delaney.
Delaney Walker
I take that clap too.
Taylor
Dude. It's unbelievable. Your start this year, there was like, there's no way this man's coming back from the depths of hell. And you've done it in the week.
Will Compton
What was it before? Maybe right before week 14. Somewhere in the middle, it's like, Delaney, you would have to go, whatever this number is just to get back above 500.
Taylor
We were crawling into Spooktober, crawling into it. And you were dead done. The whole world was like, delaney Walker might be the worst gambler in the history of gambling.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Yeah.
Will Compton
And now you're the hottest name in the game.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, you know, that's how it works, man. You know, that's. That's just how it works. You know, I came in. I came in early. You know, defeat sucked. It started to sink in. But, you know, I always look past it. You know, I look past the noise because that's what I do. Well, I always, you know, and then I start seeing the playing field. I remember you saying, man, I want to see what you're seeing, you know? So I started doing. I started double watching. I'm like, let Me, double watch.
Will Compton
Double watch.
Taylor
Double watching film.
Delaney Walker
Double watching film. I'm like, okay, let me see what Will think I'm looking at. And then I started looking at being like, let me be Will and see what he sees. And I'm like, well, Will don't see the field, right? So let me keep going. Let me keep going.
Will Compton
Let me get beyond that level.
Delaney Walker
Let me get beyond that level and just start calling him, man. You know what? I was really leaning on a pro, you know, he was leading me one way, and I thought since he was the top 17 gambler in Nashville, I should, you know, follow structure. But, you know, at the end of the day, he was leading me down the wrong path.
Will Compton
You had to cut ties.
Delaney Walker
I had to cut ties with him, man.
Will Compton
Believe in your own instincts.
Delaney Walker
I believed in my own instinct. And as you see, I just start hitting. But, you know, it brings me. I had a story, man. I was thinking about this when I was, you know, texting you guys and just knowing that I was about to be number one end of the season, going into the playoffs. It brought me back to that time when I went to Africa. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm African, but I ain't that kind of African. You get what I'm saying? So, like, I'm like, damn, this ain't me. Let me get back to my old self.
Will Compton
That's deep.
Delaney Walker
I started getting back to my old self, man, I realized I'm American. Yeah.
Taylor
Some might say African American, huh? African American, you got to see. And then you went back and you're like, no, like.
Delaney Walker
Like I said, I'm African, but I hate that kind of African.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Right.
Delaney Walker
You know what I'm saying? Then I'm walking around Africa.
Clay Matthews
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
And I'm seeing hyenas. I'm like, God damn, they keep hyenas as pets.
Clay Matthews
Hyenas.
Taylor
Hyenas as pets.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Taylor
So you realized I'm American?
Delaney Walker
I was like, yeah, I'm tough, but I ain't that tough. You know what I'm saying? So I had to go back to my roots. That's what that means. Like, and my roots is American.
Clay Matthews
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
So I. I, you know, I went back to that American roots, and I started five, and now, hey, I started seeing the field. I started seeing the field, you know? You know, I thought I should have been back to the motherland, but that. Nah, that didn't work out for me.
Clay Matthews
When I went back, where should I take a trip? Cause this one in five weekend, I had Poland.
Taylor
Poland, Poland, Germany, Switzerland.
Clay Matthews
Just somewhere where all the whites are. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Taylor
What's happened to Clay? Matthew Matthews became a thing.
Will Compton
He was riding high, but it was.
Taylor
Really like one week. Oh, one week.
Clay Matthews
One week.
Will Compton
And then the second week was the song. But it was just. I don't know.
Taylor
You know what? He reminds me of the Chiefs last year. Like, yeah, he was winning, but, like, it was. There was something. There was something flawed in that foundation. He started six and, oh, there was a whole bunch of back and forth about money lines, moving the line and stuff like that. Then, okay. Then the next week he goes like 2 and 4, and the next week was 3 and 3. But then he hits a 15 leg parlay. Okay, I guess, like, everybody's cheering. People forget about this. This little piece right here that me. Everyone's looking at the bread now. We keep moving on. And now we seeing one.
Clay Matthews
First of all, it was week 18, and I want my picks back because everybody sat their starters, and I'm over here thinking they're playing for the love of the game. Like I played with. You know what I'm saying? I went out there week 18. I was trying to get that 23rd sack. It might have been 13, it wasn't 23, but that's what I was playing for. We got resting starters, we got teams taking weeks off. It threw all. I want my money back, to be honest with you. I want. I want to. I want to redo on this week 18. It's not fair. It's not right.
Will Compton
Point the finger.
Clay Matthews
Yeah.
Will Compton
Since the NFL, since we did the Moneyline Matthews song. Clay Matthews is 19 and 24.
Taylor
Hey, we did a song. Since we did a song.
Clay Matthews
You didn't do a song. You were against it. My guys over here, we put together the song.
Taylor
All right, guys busting we. Because as much as you want to separate yourself as an individual, we're a team.
Delaney Walker
After week 10, after week 10, the lady was 20 and 34. Who, me is now 57. That's me.
Clay Matthews
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
That's terrible.
Clay Matthews
So what you're saying is there's room for me to improve. Like Delaney, you gotta go to Switzerland.
Will Compton
You're gonna have to. It's playoffs.
Clay Matthews
I gotta go to Switzerland.
Taylor
You have to travel abroad if you want to do what Delaney just did. Delaney just gave us the opposite of what the movie Roots is about. While claiming roots, going to Africa, saying, these are real Africans, and then decided.
Clay Matthews
He, maybe I would just go back and watch Vikings or something like that, just to help out. But it's Been tough. I'll tell you what. I think a little bit of it has been just kind of being a pacifist, trying to smooth things over. Ever since the episode where I went Moneyline, went six zero, we had a crash out Taylor. We had the boys laughing their ass off. So I've been kind of playing middle ground. I've been teasing the spreads a little bit here and there, and that's not what I want to do. Okay. I just want to get back to making money, to wins and making money, and that's with the money line. All right? So I'm kind of disappointed in myself. Like, I put my foot down, but I was like, I mean, it is their show. Let me play along. You know, I pulled it back a little bit. Like, hey, you know, so that. That's what's up. If you're asking me what's up, I'm.
Will Compton
Hearing a lot of excuses. In the three minutes that you saw.
Taylor
For me, in the three minutes of you talking, I fully figured out what kind of teammate you were.
Clay Matthews
A great teammate. Hey, this type of teammate. Did you ever wear Marcus?
Taylor
I did my job. Hey, I got a sack today. Why don't we score more points? Will, why'd you miss that tackle?
Clay Matthews
Yeah, it's Claire Matthews.
Will Compton
I'm just, you know, I'm listening to him.
Clay Matthews
No, you're saying, yeah, like, you agree.
Will Compton
He'S over those three minutes. You do hear a lot of excuses. And I was saying it sucks for me. I looked up to you.
Clay Matthews
I looked up to you.
Taylor
Here's the good news. Like, you went 1 and 5. Will went 3 and 3, and you're still a game ahead of Will. But with this big thing football has is momentum. Right now, you are lacking a lot of momentum.
Clay Matthews
That's okay. I'm feeling good. You see this shirt? This shirt? Because I got a pick that's going to surprise everyone this week. You guys.
Will Compton
I don't think it's going to surprise you.
Taylor
I think it's even the Steelers.
Clay Matthews
I'm going be honest, though. I bought this shirt, like, a couple months ago, waiting for the right time to wear it. Steelers beat the Packers. Didn't happen. A roth, though, for 4,000. Didn't happen. But now with that big win over Baltimore, with a little bit of momentum that the Steelers have taken on the. The. The Texans this week. We'll talk about it when we get to that game. This is the type of teammate I am.
Will Compton
If you're crazy, you're wearing a Steelers shirt when it's Chicago hosting the packers this week?
Clay Matthews
Yeah. Am I supposed to wear a Jordan Love shirt? I didn't play with Jordan Love.
Taylor
But you paid for the package. You'd be wearing a 52. There's about a dozen of them.
Clay Matthews
I did wearing a 52.
Taylor
I really see one right next to Ryan right now.
Clay Matthews
Hey, they need me back out there. That's all I'm saying. They almost called me.
Taylor
They almost called you?
Clay Matthews
They almost called me.
Will Compton
They almost called me.
Taylor
It was a 920-number.
Clay Matthews
Hey, for real. 920 number came through my phone. I thought, you know, and it was just one of those credit. $50,000 credit calls, so I said, damn. I thought I was going back.
Will Compton
Clay probably reached out. You think everybody's gonna reach out to me, so just keep your phone close, man.
Clay Matthews
Yeah.
Taylor
Please be up the phone calling somebody who's three steps away from the gym. Be like, let them know I can actually do something.
Clay Matthews
I could probably give you a good three plays, but that.
Taylor
That ain't. Hey, is that three sacks?
Clay Matthews
It could be.
Taylor
It could be.
Delaney Walker
You got to pick and choose three plays.
Clay Matthews
I mean, I need a couple. It's like we talked about weeks ago. I need a couple weeks to.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, you got to get prepared.
Clay Matthews
But I'm not. I'm not. Okay? It was a credit call, so don't even worry about it.
Taylor
Can I tell you something? I don't know if your wife has told you this. It's over, man.
Clay Matthews
Oh, I know.
Taylor
You can't go back.
Will Compton
No, no, no. He can give you a good three plays.
Clay Matthews
Hey, yeah, I can't.
Taylor
No, stop.
Clay Matthews
I could give you a couple of.
Taylor
The same conversation a couple years ago. Hey, it's done.
Clay Matthews
It is done. But a couple good plays. Give two plays, you don't think you're lessening.
Will Compton
You said a couple. I said three. You said couple.
Clay Matthews
A couple could be two or three.
Will Compton
All right, three. He get three.
Taylor
A few is three. A couple is two. I guarantee you several is more than three.
Clay Matthews
Because of my. Because of. Hey, if you put me on the edge, I guarantee you. And it was like, stretch or something. I could hold that damn edge every. See, I'm getting fired up on a run play. Yeah. Hell, yeah. Okay, now, I'm talking about, like, realistically, if I'm looking at myself like I pull a muscle, pop an Achilles, something like that, but I hold that damn edge. You put me in a nine technique, I'm gonna cobra strike you with this brow right here. Get those hands inside. And, bro, there's cornerbacks. Excuse me. Running back's Gonna have to cut back. That's all I'm saying, is one good play, I could do it for 30 plays.
Taylor
Oh, you could do that for 30 play.
Clay Matthews
I'm not talking rushing the passer. I'm not talking setting the edge for 30. I'll show you what I can do on the edge. I want you to go put your helmet on and I'll show you how I set the edge. But come at me just so I can show you. This is the.
Delaney Walker
The doubt.
Clay Matthews
The doubt.
Delaney Walker
Guard, though, on punt.
Will Compton
Hey, hey, hey. Don't get it twisted. I'm locking him up on.
Clay Matthews
Three time specialty player of the year.
Will Compton
I don't care. What's that mean?
Clay Matthews
I seen. I've seen your special teams highlight tape they put out there.
Will Compton
Never, never, never. He wouldn't block a punt.
Clay Matthews
Nobody blocks a punt anymore. Okay, I'm not trying to block a punt, all right? I'm just. Hey, I'm like a great white. I'm circling back and I'm trying to you up and be like, oh, 15 yards. But you're over there in the. In the blue tent, in the medical tent going out.
Will Compton
I'm begging for the 50. You saw what he did.
Delaney Walker
Where we play. You can't play like that no more.
Taylor
I'll tell you this. Everything you just said sounded phenomenal. There's some. There's a Packers fan watching this show. That's like.
Clay Matthews
That's all I need.
Taylor
Six to midnight right now, by the way.
Clay Matthews
That's all I need.
Taylor
I'm letting you know this cobra strike technique you're thinking of, that edge is grabbed, bro. That edge is. You're to go in there like this, realize, oh, they're faster because I forgot.
Ryan Seacrest
No, now the edge is taken.
Clay Matthews
So easy to set an edge. It's so easy to set an edge.
Taylor
It is not. I mean, I literally made Ryan watch some of me yesterday.
Clay Matthews
It's technique. You're playing against bombs who don't know how to use their face and hands.
Taylor
Gotta. Gotta know.
Will Compton
Hey, I'm with you.
Taylor
I'm catching you on that shoulder. Somebody else is catching you on that shoulder.
Clay Matthews
Oh, you're not.
Taylor
Oh, I'm losing.
Will Compton
Contain.
Taylor
I gotta widen. There goes the inside. You're out of there. No, 88, not the gate.
Clay Matthews
B gal. See, it ain't happening.
Taylor
Catching nevers.
Clay Matthews
It ain't happening, brother. I used to have Chris Johnson try me on the edge, and I went, hey, used to.
Taylor
I had to. Once upon a time. Like, this ain't a fairy tale, brother.
Will Compton
Hey, don't. Don't be mean.
Taylor
I'm not being mean.
Clay Matthews
I'm not being mean. Listen, I'm not. I'm.
Taylor
Just let my man know it's over.
Clay Matthews
This is doubt, though.
Will Compton
Yes.
Clay Matthews
See, I don't take. I don't take well to doubt.
Taylor
So go play.
Clay Matthews
So I'll always bet on myself.
Taylor
I'll tell you.
Clay Matthews
I'm done playing. It's over.
Taylor
Listen, how about this? How about this? The Nashville Cats.
Clay Matthews
I'm good.
Taylor
They train and they have a spring league. Why don't you go play a game?
Clay Matthews
I'm good.
Will Compton
You weren't really known as a run defender, though.
Clay Matthews
Yes, I was. Don't listen to the. The narrative just because I got so many sacks. You saw me as the sack guy, but I was stopping the run.
Will Compton
Yeah, you're a pass rusher.
Clay Matthews
I was a pass rusher because I did it so well, but I also stopped the run. No, no, no. You just say you don't watch film sometimes.
Taylor
Let's talk about.
Clay Matthews
Delaney knows.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, he wasn't. He was a run stopper, too.
Taylor
Bills were at the.
Delaney Walker
We played them a lot.
Will Compton
Get off your knees, bro.
Delaney Walker
I mean, we played them a lot. It was a 49ers and the packers was a thing.
Taylor
But what happened when we play the Titans? Titans.
Clay Matthews
I wasn't even out there.
Taylor
Clay Matthews at the flute. Yeah, we beat the shit out of him.
Will Compton
How many times captures.
Taylor
Hey, I was so stoked.
Will Compton
We needed to play.
Taylor
I was like, oh, my God.
Delaney Walker
We ran.
Taylor
You were like a late scratch, right? Yeah, like 90 minute clock hit.
Delaney Walker
He would always. Safety. Friday would be the two tight ends. So it just.
Clay Matthews
Hey, I was just like, straight pop. I was like, oh, no, it was.
Taylor
But did they say you weren't playing? Until I remember us playing. And then like the Clay Matthews in my mind, I'm like, oh, I have to go against Clay, who gave me my welcome to NFL.
Delaney Walker
We had a guy wearing your jersey.
Taylor
You were on the injury port. You were. You were not active for that game. And I remember being like, what a day. We're about to.
Delaney Walker
Oh, we took it. First play.
Taylor
First place. Yeah. And I had an Emmy on that play.
Delaney Walker
What a day.
Clay Matthews
You were out. You were. Yeah, you. You played almost just as many plays as I did. Three games. Two to three good plays.
Taylor
I played three plays. I was in there for 65 of our rush yards that game. And then Jake, Matthew's acl.
Clay Matthews
That game. Jake Matthews. Jake Ryan.
Delaney Walker
Ryan.
Clay Matthews
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
Jake.
Clay Matthews
Boy.
Taylor
So I went in the lock room with him.
Will Compton
Oh, backer.
Taylor
Backer.
Clay Matthews
Michigan.
Will Compton
Yeah, Michigan Boy.
Taylor
Michigan boy. Yeah. Had the long hair. Clay Matthews.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Yeah.
Taylor
He's like, dude, I can't wait to meet him. He said he were. You said you were a good teammate regardless of everything you just said on the show.
Clay Matthews
Hey, it's funny because he texted me the other day. He goes, hey, I guess I know he's a Michigan guy and perhaps you guys are boys. He goes, hey, how you liking the show? I was like, it's cool. And he's like, what's Taylor's deal? And I knew immediately what he was doing. He's like, the boys are. He was trying to set me up to say something because you got all your little birds whispering over here. So I got to be careful.
Taylor
We are boys.
Clay Matthews
Everybody talks about socks. Yeah, I gotta keep it to myself.
Delaney Walker
What's his deal? I'm like, what?
Taylor
We talked about momentum. We talked about you being one of five. Will, although he's behind you, is three and three. The little bit momentum difference.
Will Compton
This show is brought to us by Jim Bean. The postseason is upon us and there's really nothing like it. But the postseason can be stressful.
Taylor
That's correct. Will Compton crushing losses Wild upsteps your unhinged six game parlay falling apart. The literal last second. Things can get rough and it can leave you feeling a little bit sour.
Will Compton
But you got to look on the bright side. Once your team is out and headed to decompress, you can finally relax. And now you can actually enjoy the post season without all the heart palpitations.
Taylor
That's why we're partnering with Jim Beam. We want to help you turn your lemon of a loss into delicious, tasty Jim Beam and lemonade because it is.
Will Compton
The perfect bevy for the offseason. It's refreshing, it's got that perfect sweetness. A little bit of tang on your tongue. And it's best paired with stress free watching when your team is out.
Taylor
So gather the boys, grab some Jim Beam and lemonade to make the rest of this postseason just a little bit sweeter. Refresher season with Jim Beam and lemonade best enjoyed together.

Will Compton
Vermont Kentucky the bills are playing the Jags.
Taylor
They're at the Jags.
Clay Matthews
Starting with that, Bills are favored at.
Taylor
One and a half. Total points in the game is 52 and a half. We talk about momentum. Jags are on an eight game winning streak right now. Yes, Momentum in the playoffs. Will Compton back in. I think it was late September, early Spooktober he goes. Keep your eye on the Jags. Sneaky team. I'd love to know where Clay Matthews is going.
Clay Matthews
I'm just saying, hey, without Mahomes, Joey B. And Lamar Jackson, Trevor Lawrence's time, you might. You just ruin my setup, man. You might find it might be hard.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
That's my.
Clay Matthews
It's all good.
Taylor
Do you see the accountability, though?
Clay Matthews
Because I like that. Like, I like that. There's no hotter team right now than the Jacksonville Jaguars right now. I think just because those aforementioned quarterbacks are not in the playoffs does not mean this is Josh Allen's year. I think their, their team, their defense especially there's. There's. They're just missing pieces and they play from behind. I don't think it's going to work well for them there. I see the Jaguars getting this. I like the money line here. They're also thin at cornerback. Maxwell Hairston was injured and I don't with who they Sat in week 18 with Bosa and who's the safety? Poyer, you know, like who's playing, who's not. I think their defense is a liability right now. Josh Allen is going to have to put on his, his, his cape and make something happen, but I just don't see it happen. I think Jags are just too hot. You saw Trevor Lawrence in the locker room putting on the grill after the game. Like, it just looks like it's coming together. Liam Cohen's got something special going down there. And I think the winner of this game is going to represent the afc.
Delaney Walker
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Taylor
That's a nice.
Delaney Walker
That's a nice take on that.
Taylor
That's a nice take. So you're taking the Jags, I'm taking. The Jags. Are going to be the super.
Clay Matthews
I'm taking the Jags money line.
Delaney Walker
The one and a half.
Clay Matthews
We'll reassess after this week, but I believe.
Taylor
I love it. I love it. You're going Jags as well.
Will Compton
You already know. I know sneaky Jacksonville Jaguars no longer sneaky. No longer sneaky. But they are. They are the hot team right now. And I feel like Bill's. They got a medge out anywhere. It's at quarterback and running back. Not, you know, not by a whole lot knowing what's around Josh Allen. But the rest is the Jacksonville Jaguars and Jaguars got a game at home. The culture giving the grill to Trevor Lawrence.
Delaney Walker
Oh, what the. The crowd about to be crazy up there.
Will Compton
How much are you Believing in a white boy. If you on your own terms, go.
Delaney Walker
Out of the grill at quarterback. Yeah, fucking a lot. I mean, a lot indeed.
Will Compton
He's at the cookout.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, he had the cookout for sure.
Clay Matthews
He.
Delaney Walker
He, you know, he be doing his whole little he dance. He do his TikTok stuff.
Taylor
He.

That dude.
Delaney Walker
You know what I'm saying? I put him. I put him and Mac, all those dudes in the same. Like, I fuck with them. Like, you know, we can ride, you.
Clay Matthews
Know, not all white boys.
Delaney Walker
Not all of them.
Clay Matthews
Not all.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, we can ride and there'll some dirt go down. I know they ain't gonna say nothing. Who's the white boy you're not rocking with? That's a tough one. I don't think I ever really found a white boy. I feel like gonna snitch on me.
Will Compton
And if so, you're never probably getting close enough with him to even think about who that would be. Yeah, yeah.
Taylor
You see him from a distance, seeing how he acts. That's not what I wanna be around. Don't even learn his name.
Delaney Walker
Nah. Yeah. Cause I've even been around police. I like Jeb. Like, that's the homie.
Taylor
Jeb's not a real police officer.
Delaney Walker
He was a real police officer.
Will Compton
That is the homie, though.
Delaney Walker
That's the homie.
Taylor
Jeb, you over. You're like, all right, all right.
Will Compton
Hey.
Taylor
Hey.
Delaney Walker
Good.
Taylor
See you. I can't tell you how many times he's been pulled over. And the police officer has been like, listen, I. You were speeding. I should give you a ticket. But I don't want Jeb to call me. I was like, okay, so just slow down.
Delaney Walker
Every time I got to. I brought it to J. He like, oh, I know him. I'll give him a call. I'm like, oh, thanks, man. Take care of it.
Clay Matthews
Sh.
Will Compton
Jeb Horn.
Delaney Walker
Oh, yeah.
Taylor
Okay. Jags, Jags.
Delaney Walker
I mean, I'm going Jags. You just gotta look at it. If you look at history between the Bills and the Jags, the Jags have not rolled over easily for the Bills. And I think the Jaguars may have the top figure on win losses against the Buffalo Bills. So I look at it one and a half. This is a coin toss. Jaguars are hot. They bent hot. They got home field advantage. Buffalo got to go into Jacksonville. I'm sure it's going to be around 70 to 80 degrees there in Jacksonville.
Taylor
Can we get a weather check on that Club 80s nuts for January, maybe mid-60s. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say no. Higher than 70.
Clay Matthews
70.
Will Compton
80. 90 degrees.
Taylor
Yeah. It's gonna be 104 this week. Sunday. 69.
Clay Matthews
69.
Will Compton
Hey.
Delaney Walker
70.
Will Compton
You did say 70.
Delaney Walker
I said 70.
Will Compton
80 degrees.
Taylor
Whoa.
Delaney Walker
See, I know that humidity kicks in, that shit hits in.
Taylor
We should have never doubted you. Five and one.
Will Compton
Never. When he said Jacksonville, I'm like, okay.
Taylor
He understands the process. So all of us are going to Jacksonville.
Delaney Walker
Money line.
Taylor
Wow.
Clay Matthews
Love it.
Will Compton
Yeah. Jacksonville, money.
Taylor
I'm gonna go to Bill. I'm gonna go the Bills. I like the Bills. I love the fact that the Jacksonville Jaguars are hot right now. Trevor Lawrence, the Grill, all of those things play for me. I. I'm a big fan of that. Eight wins in a row. That's huge. Buffalo Bills have the most yards per game in rushing. What happens in the playoffs? What's your rush like? How do you move the chains over and over again? That's a big deal for the bills. They're also 66% in the red zone. All right. They're the third most efficient team in the NFL. When they approach the red zone, and that includes touchdown, they get touchdowns, not three. That's what matters most in the situation. People are going to say, there's going to be a stat that comes out there. Josh Allen's 0 and 4 in playoff games on the road. That's going to be a set. That scares you a little bit. The three of those.
Will Compton
That one that doesn't scare you?
Taylor
Three of those were Patrick Mahomes. The other one was his first. I love the fact that Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes are not in this. I said in the beginning of the year, the Bills are going to be in the Super Bowl. We're now in January. I believe I'm taking the Bills to cover one and a half points since we're all doing Moneyline stuff. So I'll cover.
Will Compton
It's one and a half. You go money like you want to.
Taylor
Well, no, it's the same. It's literally a pickle.
Delaney Walker
I mean, it's a pickle. I mean, that's why we just.
Taylor
Yeah, Bill's. Bill's one and a half is minus one or two by one.
Will Compton
You're gonna be sick. You're gonna be sick.
Taylor
All right, I will take.
Clay Matthews
You're right.
Will Compton
I'll take the Bill.
Taylor
Yeah, yeah. It's a five point difference.
Clay Matthews
Don't get bullied. You bullied me out of my pick last week. Who was.
Will Compton
I know you're upset about that. Hey, I know you're.
Taylor
You saw something happen and that Was just enough to scratch that scab. Let you bleed again.
Will Compton
Yeah.
Taylor
But I will say he was trying to help me out there because if they win the game by one, I'm. If they win the game.
Will Compton
The Panthers, they lost by. They lost by two by two. Listen, but you want to be Moneyline Matthews. I'm trying to help you identify.
Clay Matthews
It's not.
Will Compton
I had to learn the hard way.
Clay Matthews
Money line is not six money lines. It's when the Rams are ten and a half point favorites. Money line because you need guarantees. You're not stressing about it was plus three.
Will Compton
You didn't feel bad about going Money line and you just eight that they lost by 2000.
Clay Matthews
I hate it. I would. I should have just.
Will Compton
You had to learn the hard way. And that's all right. Not listen to you.
Clay Matthews
That's how I learned.
Ryan Seacrest
Chump.
Will Compton
I just wanted to see money line back.
Clay Matthews
Can't play it if we're losing. What we got next?
Will Compton
We got Chargers going out to the Patriots. Patriots favored by three and a half. The over under on this game is 46 and a half points. What's the pick?
Delaney Walker
This is a tough one. I'm gonna let y' all talk though. I gotta go talk.
Will Compton
What's the pick? You're the hottest hand in the game.
Delaney Walker
I know.
Will Compton
Like in the league, bro. It's the leaning people got the mule poster hanging over.
Delaney Walker
Don't give a pick until I talk. So give y' all opinion on the game and then don't give y'. All. Don't give y' all pick until I talk.
Will Compton
Damn. He just said something.
Taylor
That'S a wild. So you want us to talk about the game?
Delaney Walker
No. Here, I'll go. So when you look at this game, this is a tough one. Both coaches, man. Both coaches, right?
Taylor
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
I love them both dearly. I love them both dearly. And it goes to who's going to perform at the highest level. Who's fresher. Right now I look at the Patriots playing they starters getting on the ground, getting it out of them. Right. They got the play. They didn't get no rest. So they still active. I believe in being active. I believe the players who are fresh active and still playing the dudes who took a break. I don't know why. I feel like you always got to motivate yourself to get going again. And that's what scares me about the Chargers. All the starters took a break against the Char last week game. So none of the starters played. I am very scared about that because the Patriots are on fire. Their players are hyped. They got a great coach that's going to get them ready for this game. And in New England, it's. In New England, it's going to be cold. La Alt plays in the dome. They not used to the cold weather. They can't even. They can't even simulate the cold weather in Los Angeles. So I just feel like this is going to be a tough game. It's going to be a low scoring game.
Clay Matthews
Hey, I like that last line you said. Delaney, you want to go under at 46 and a half because I'm with you on that. It's going to be a low scoring game. The Chargers defense is playing like a top five defense right now.
Delaney Walker
True.
Clay Matthews
I think this is a tough matchup. I think in my little world that I live in, the Chargers resting their stars, not only is going to help them as far as maybe not getting it back up, but also they perhaps wanted to play New England because they saw something that was easier, dare I say easier matchup, a better matchup for them. So I think, think I like the under here. I think the Patriots are going to win, but I like the under at 46 and a half.
Delaney Walker
And everything you said is great because.
Clay Matthews
The Chargers beat the.
Delaney Walker
The Patriots 40 to 7.
Clay Matthews
Charges beat the Patriots.
Delaney Walker
Yes.
Clay Matthews
When they.
Delaney Walker
The Chargers. Remember what the Chargers did? They beat the Patriots 40 to 7.
Taylor
You read an article.
Clay Matthews
Was this like 2023?
Delaney Walker
I'm reading my notes.
Clay Matthews
I don't think they played this year, did they?
Taylor
Oh, you had a note that tells you remember.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Clay Matthews
I'm gonna let you check that.
Delaney Walker
Is that. Look that up?
Taylor
Yeah. They didn't play this year. Yeah. I don't know if they played this year.
Clay Matthews
Sometimes. Sometimes. Chat GBT gets it messed up.
Taylor
Chat GBT does.
Will Compton
Wait.
Taylor
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
Week 17 last year.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Right.
Clay Matthews
Okay.
Taylor
There are four and 12. Week 17, you're five and one. Stand up.
Delaney Walker
That's why I'm taking the over on 46 and a half.
Clay Matthews
Because they got a new coach, a new quarter, they're feeling good.
Delaney Walker
Y' all just let me spin. Y' all can't let me spin. Look, I got a point with all this, man.
Will Compton
What is it?
Clay Matthews
It's gonna be a High School of the Year.
Delaney Walker
Seven last year, and they got a different coach. I see it's a whole different mindset. They gonna put points on the board.
Will Compton
You're seeing the numbers within the numbers.
Delaney Walker
Yes.
Will Compton
The over under on this game is 46 and a half.
Delaney Walker
I'm taking the over.
Will Compton
Last year's score was 40 to 7 47. That's kind of foreshadowing that this is an over game.
Delaney Walker
This is an over game. See what I see, V?
Will Compton
Hey, I'm sorry for laughing at you. Damn. I didn't think about it like that.
Delaney Walker
That's how I look at things, man. That's why I had to know. Remember what happened last year?
Will Compton
Yeah.
Taylor
No, we don't. But I'm starting to see a little bit. I like where your head's at. Chargers defense, they play. They a great defense, but they also play zone. Yeah, 80 over 80% of the time. And when they do that, if you just look over on the other side of the ball, Drake maybe when he has zoned defense against him is 72 and a half percent completion.
Will Compton
I mean he's the man. He's the man in every situation.
Taylor
Which is number one.110.5 passer rating against zone. I like the over. I like the Patriots more. The more you look into it. This is Patriots all the way defenses. They put up 34 and a half points per game since December while their defense is only giving up 18.8 points per game. Like they are a complete team With a team as young as they are too. Yeah, them having that two seed is the best seed for them because they get to host home games. But also I think a break would be more detrimental to them than it would be good for them. With how young they are. You have to young and immaturity kind of go hand in hand. So for them just to keep their foot on the gas after losing the Bills a couple weeks ago. I like Drake May. I like the Patriots. I like them beating the Chargers in New England.
Will Compton
So are you taking them to cover?
Taylor
I'm taking them to cover. Unless we're all doing money lines, then I'll take them. Money line.
Delaney Walker
I mean that three and A. I.
Clay Matthews
Mean I'll get under under.
Will Compton
Hey, I like the money line. You want to do a Patriot money line?
Taylor
I'll go Patriot money line. When you go in the playoffs, brother, it's kind of like money lines.
Will Compton
Like it's neck and neck. We talk.
Taylor
We've thrown the trash of the way trash way in the NFL like now it's good teams with good defense is a good playmakers enough besides the Panthers. And so you just got to look at and be like, yo, we got to go. These are money line games because I like the option.
Will Compton
I could see over, I could see under. But the one I feel most confident about is the Patriots are going to.
Taylor
Win when the clock strikes Zero. The Patriots season continues. That's what I can see. How much I can't see that I'm not seeing that clearly. What I do see is the Patriot in the divisional round.
Clay Matthews
Do you think there's a world where Herbert carries this Chargers team to the next level because New England does not have. Because what's the one weakness, the Achilles heel of the Chargers? This whole year it's been that their offensive line has been out and it's been. Herbert's been under duress and he's had to do things on his own and taking hits, breaking his hand.
Will Compton
Yeah, injuries.
Clay Matthews
The Patriots have a middle of the road defense or at least pass rush. That is, I think they're. They're middle as far as sacks are concerned. So is there a world in which we live in where Herbert just sits back there, is comfortable and can do his thing that he's done when he's not under duress, but he hasn't done.
Will Compton
It in the playoffs?
Clay Matthews
What, last year, they might want to get that taste. Was that last year when he threw.
Will Compton
They lost to the Texans last year.
Delaney Walker
Right.
Taylor
They end up losing that in the second half. You're right. Like they're. At some point Herbert has to get the playoffs off his back and to keep building on that. Like Chargers have both their tackles hurt. They're on their like 4th and 5th tackles at this point. And the Patriots don't generate a whole lot of pressure unless they're doing simulated pressures. So I'm with you on that LA.
Will Compton
Team going out to Foxborough at this point.
Taylor
First off, Drake May is less injured than Justin Herbert. Justin Herbert had himself a thumb injury. He willed his team into a win. Playing Philly after that injury. Was he going to play? Was he not going to play? Is that enough time after a surgery gets it done? I just look at Drake May and the numbers he's putting up that will eloquently put on the bus earlier this week and those are really hard numbers to ignore, especially against a great defense. Chargers have a great defense, but because they play zone so much and then you just look on the other side of the ball like, okay, how's this cat do against zone? Everything's kind of tipping to the meter of we got Drake May, we got the Patriots and they're going to be in the divisional round.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, two good coaches. I think they're going to prepare these teams well. So that's why I didn't pick a game.
Will Compton
Drake May is him too, bro.
Clay Matthews
It's his first time in the playoffs. So how can we say he's him if he hasn't even played the playoffs? Y' all want to shit on Herbert? Because I am watching. But I'm just saying, if we can shit on Herbert for, you know, a bad game last year and all those.
Will Compton
Interceptions, I'm not shitting on him. I'm just saying to me, he's like in the mental box of like a Lamar Jackson, right?
Taylor
There's a sample size of Justin Herbert, where you go, can he get it in the playoffs? Drake May, he's sitting there post game interviews like, hey, how do you feel about the MVP race? He's like, that's a team award. If I win, it's because he's saying all the right things. He's doing the right things. The mentality process. And we don't know, does it. Does he change? Does he. Does he kind of get a little tighter in the playoffs? I don't know that. I'm willing to bet he doesn't.
Will Compton
Yeah, it is. A wife brings big goods to the squad.
Taylor
Oh, for real?
Clay Matthews
Wow.

Yeah, They've done well. They've like, they've covered it on a couple games and I've kind of seen some articles. I've dipped my toe in there.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.

Will Compton
Stop lying.
Delaney Walker
Cats. They may have. Yeah. And dogs.
Will Compton
And, hey, Klump's wife brings stuff in all the time and you eat it.
Taylor
I only, I only ate the pecan pie sometimes.
Delaney Walker
And you believed it? That's because it was a pecan pie. I like, I ate the pecan pie. But who did I tell somebody when they first put it? I said, I don't eat snacks. Somebody was in there. I was like, I don't eat that. And then he. I said, who brought this? And he. That's when I asked him about pecan pie.
Clay Matthews
He knew what he was talking about.
Will Compton
What'd you say to me then? What'd you ask me about my wife?
Delaney Walker
Well, she black.
Clay Matthews
Is she?
Will Compton
No.
Taylor
She'S as white as can be.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, she's super white as can be, sweetheart.

Form energy. We do the work. Back to the episode. Texans. Yeah. Texas Steelers. We got Houston at Pittsburgh. Steelers are. Texans are favored by three points in this game. The over under on this game, a whopping 39 and a half.
Taylor
Clay Matthews, you have the shirt, you have the floor.
Will Compton
Surprise us with this one.
Clay Matthews
Hey, I think the easy pick here is the Texans. Just because of how poor the Steelers have played this year, specifically on offense. But you look at, it was like weeks 14 to 16, the Steelers were top 10 in points scored, passing yards, in yards per game before DK Metcalf's suspension, which obviously you throw everything out the door because he's their only true number one threat. I just can't bet against a rod. Let me go back. The Texans offense, they do not generate a lot of points. Their defense is what keeps them in games. The Steelers, I mean, there's very few games that they've been blown out. They have not lived up to expectations or what they envisioned they saw with dk, with Aaron, with their running game, whatever it may be. But I really like Aaron in this situation to get it done here. I think with DK coming back, he's going to have a big game. I don't believe he has to. That run game has gotten better. I think defensively they can do enough to get it done against, you know, a Texans offense that. That isn't putting up points at will. So I just. I like this. I'm not taking the money line here, but I like the Steelers. They're at plus three. I. I like them at plus four and a half.
Taylor
Oh, yeah.
Clay Matthews
So I'm teasing it up a little bit.
Will Compton
To Steelers plus four and a half.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor
That's what you like?
Clay Matthews
That's what I like. I do think the Steelers get it done, but I'm leaving myself a little buffer. I thought you were leaving myself a.
Will Compton
Little bit there, like a big surprise.
Clay Matthews
Yeah, the surprise was I got a reason to wear.
Taylor
I think we started the show with I gotta pick today. That's gonna blow your thousand.
Clay Matthews
Well, let me hear what you notice.
Will Compton
All I'm saying is not only did you not hit the Steelers plus three, still with the capability to lose.
Clay Matthews
I'm trying to win a little bit more. I'm trying to win. So no matter what I say, it's up to these guys. To bring it home.
Will Compton
I hear you.
Taylor
That's a Josh Payson right there.
Delaney Walker
The Texans on a nine game winning streak right now.
Taylor
Momentum, momentum coming in.
Clay Matthews
Steelers 1 and oh, momentum. They just sealed whatever division they're in.
Will Compton
It's hard to go against the Texans defense. I know the offense struggles, but I feel like even coming off a game too where they allow Riley Leonard to have some success against that defense, I. It's bro, this is. It's so hard to go against. Yeah, it's so hard to go against this Texas defense. I feel like Houston's going to be the team here. Steelers, they have these like there's just so much inconsistency. And then at the end of the year, what'd they go in their last five? Was it four and one? Was it four and one? Something like that. They dropped the one of the Browns, but they ended up taking care of business against the Ravens and winning games that you weren't assuming that they were going to win. Even last week, Ravens, they just missed the field goal just wide right. And there's just nothing that I can hang my hat on with the Pittsburgh Steelers because if I go Steelers, say I'll go Steelers plus three here. If Houston wins and they cover and all this stuff, it's like, yeah, that was the obvious pick the entire time. So you're right, it is the easier pick. And I'm going with the Houston Texans.
Taylor
Okay, I like, I got two notes here. Here. Texans defense along the fewest yards per game and they have the second fewest points per game allowed. That's the Texans defense. Steelers defense. Top eight in both sacks and interceptions. Was it 39 and a half. That's an under game. This is a 1310 game. This is. That's exactly what this game is. Is on onward.
Delaney Walker
Okay. You know, I'm looking at this.
Will Compton
This is 1310.
Delaney Walker
Houston do have a great defense. Great defense. But I see it as an over over 39 and a half.
Clay Matthews
Who do you think is going to win?
Taylor
Two top dogs going on it, right?
Delaney Walker
I really don't know who's going to win this game. Be honest with you. I felt like the Steelers showed up and put some offense together for the first time against the Raiders.
Clay Matthews
Second half, they looked good.
Delaney Walker
They looked good. But then you got Houston. They're starting to. They offense is starting to move. They starting to put points on the board. You look at Indianapolis, they put up 38 points against Indy. Yes, we can say how good can indie defense be at first in the beginning of the season? Indy defense Was a good defense at the time. So if they can put up 38 points against Andy. I just really feel like they gonna put up points against Pittsburgh Steelers. But I think the Steelers will be able to score points as well too. So I'm gonna take this as an over game. 39 and a half.
Taylor
Love it. Next game.
Clay Matthews
Love it.
Taylor
Rams at Panthers. Rams are favored by -10 and a half. Total points in the game is 46 and a half. I want to go back in time when these two teams played Matthew Stafford, clear front runner for the mvp. That is still the same now that we see it in the present time when he played the Panthers. Three interceptions. Panthers were 7, 7 for 15 on third down, but 3 for 3 on fourth down. Yeah, it was a game that the Rams sit there and they're like, you got some.
Clay Matthews
No, I was gonna say he's got some. No, two of those four, two of those fourth down conversions. Touchdowns by Bryce Young. Yeah, you go back and watch the game. It took a near perfect game by Carolina for them to win. I mean because I remember watching it real time. It was, it was just Bryce Young, Matthew Stafford back and forth. You're thinking yo, is, you know, is Bryce Young for real? But the Rams moved the ball at will that game and it wasn't for those two interceptions. One was in the red zone, it was tipped caught. The other one, Mike Jackson, you know, stepped in front of it, ran it back for a touchdown. But Kyron Williams and Blake Corm had over 150 yards rush in. Devonte had two touchdowns. I believe it was a rough game for Forbes, cornerback for the Rams on those fourth down plays. I just think the Panthers had the game exactly where they wanted to with the lead. They managed the clock. I just don't see the Rams make. They lost a turnover margin this game. I don't see that happening again. And like I said, the Panthers had to play a near perfect game. The Rams are built to win on the road. I don't like the Rams at minus ten and a half. I like it at minus six and a half. That's only a minus 210 change. So give me the, give me the Rams at minus six and a half.
Taylor
I'll take that exact same bet. I like exactly where you're sitting. I think the Rams probably do cover this insurance policy.
Clay Matthews
There you go.
Taylor
Insurance policy.
Delaney Walker
Well, I mean the Rams are going to win this game, but I don't think the Panthers are going to lay down like everyone is thinking they're getting to the playoffs, having this Opportunity. Don't Swandle away. At least make it a competition game. Like, go out there, compete your ass off and keep it close.
Clay Matthews
They didn't even win to get in. They lost. I know they're backing their way in.
Delaney Walker
Trust me. I.
Clay Matthews
Their run game hasn't been the same in recent weeks. Rico Dowdle hasn't done much.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, he's falling off a little bit once you start figuring it out. But again, I think it's the playoffs. I just think they may have a chip on their shoulder. Panthers. No one expected the Panthers to be in this situation that we're staring at right now. So, yes, they may come out there with a chip on their shoulder and play a little, play better football. Can they win this game? I don't know, but if they do, I'm gonna take the Panthers.
Clay Matthews
If they win the game. You'll take the Panthers?
Delaney Walker
No, no, I'm just saying. I'm taking the Panthers just in case they end up winning this game. But if they end up losing, I feel like ten and a half is crazy.
Clay Matthews
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
I just feel like ten and a half is crazy. If they blow these boys out the water, then. Yeah, we know now the Panthers should have never even been in this situation anyway, so.
Will Compton
But the Rams are falling in all cylinders.
Delaney Walker
Like, that's not a. I know, I know.
Will Compton
It's not an egregious line.
Taylor
It really took the last time because to Clay's point.
Will Compton
Yeah, to Clay's point, too. It's like, do you think the Carolina is going to win the turnover battle in this? And the two. The two touchdowns on fourth down is nuts. Like, you actually see that happening again?
Delaney Walker
I don't know what I see happening. I'd see them taking chances. They have nothing to lose. So. Yes, they gonna go for it on fourth down. Yes, they gonna make. They gonna have plays out there they probably have never put out there just to see what happens, because they. They know going into this game, the Rams is the toughest team in the NFL right now, and they know that. They're talking about, what can we do to make ourselves better? What can we have in our back pocket that they may not seen before this. This year? So, I don't know. I just. I always like the Panthers and I'm gonna stick with them.
Clay Matthews
All right.
Will Compton
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go under 46 and a half. I see the Panthers kind of laying the dud. I see this could be where, you know, Rams sit here and cover the line at minus ten and a half. I don't see the Panthers generating a whole lot of offense. So I'm going to take the under. I think the Rams went handedly but the line. 10 and a half. Scares me.
Delaney Walker
Scares you.
Taylor
Negative momentum with the Panthers.
Will Compton
Negative momentum.
Taylor
Negative momentum.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Will Compton
Weird momentum.
Delaney Walker
Weird.
Taylor
Weird. Hey, we lost, but we're in.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Taylor
It's a weird deal.
Delaney Walker
That's weird.
Clay Matthews
You put.
Taylor
Yeah, you put. You don't control your situation. You got to watch another game and be like, I hope you got it.
Will Compton
We got to play the Rams again.
Taylor
Yeah.
Will Compton
Are we going to be able to generate the two touchdowns.
Delaney Walker
Once they've seen that? To play the Rams again? I don't know. They was like. And then now.
Will Compton
But you believe in them. You believe in them more than you believe in themselves.
Delaney Walker
I believe that they're not going to get beat more by 11 points. I just don't see it happen. I see a touchdown.
Clay Matthews
It's the playoffs.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, it's the playoffs. Every playoffs I've been in been close.
Taylor
I mean, the Bills mopped the Panthers earlier this year. Huh?
Delaney Walker
I said playoffs.
Taylor
I don't even talk playoffs. I'm just saying like ten and a half. I don't think. Is that crazy? Crazy.
Delaney Walker
If you look at all the other lines and then you see ten and a half.
Taylor
I'm six and a half.
Delaney Walker
You don't usually see a ten and a half line in the playoffs. Like, that's crazy. Yeah.
Taylor
Right off the panthers, like they're G5. Yeah.
Delaney Walker
They like the Panthers shouldn't even be here. That's literally what Vegas is saying.
Will Compton
Well, yeah.
Taylor
What do we feel about the 49ers? 49ers are at the Eagles. Eagles are favored by four and a half points. Total points in that game is 44 and a half.
Delaney Walker
Before we get into this game, I believe Clump has presents for y'.
Clay Matthews
All.
Taylor
Now I know I struggled with my. My white elephant gift, so I. I.
Will Compton
Decided to give you guys a gift before you pick. Eagles fan Clump. Can't wait to see this. Went to the local Costco here in.
Taylor
Nashville and I just wanted to show.
Will Compton
You who's on the Wheaties box.
Taylor
Wow.
Will Compton
What do you guys think?
Delaney Walker
Is this like old or new?
Will Compton
These are brand new. Right now in your local Nashville supporting.
Clay Matthews
Wow.
Will Compton
Quarterback.
Taylor
Before you pick.
Delaney Walker
I mean. Yeah. I mean, I saw the heat we was taking on social.
Will Compton
Do you ever.
Taylor
Growing up and seeing kids in the weedy box being like, it'd be so.
Delaney Walker
Sick to be on a Wheaties box.
Clay Matthews
Definitely.
Delaney Walker
Weren't you on a Wheaties box before?
Taylor
Yeah, yeah.
Delaney Walker
Clay was on.
Clay Matthews
I was always like, I was on the sugar one, the one one that had all the extra sugar on it. Maybe that's that energy that you hit. It's the good taste in the one. Hey, thanks, Clump. I appreciate that.
Will Compton
Kids will love Eagles favored by 4 1/2, 49ers. What's up? Oh, do we want your clumps? Just want to make a bet that the Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl. I don't know what you want me to do, but my. My proposition is, if the Eagles win the super bowl, you have to pay for my wife and my. And myself to go to the Eagles super bowl parade to celebrate in Philadelphia when they win.
Taylor
Hey, first. First class.
Will Compton
First class. Nice hotel.
Taylor
I was gonna say Bill Compton's credit card.
Will Compton
Will Compton's credit card. You have to pay for us to go to the parade. Hook us up. Make it fun.
Clay Matthews
You don't even need tickets at a parade.
Will Compton
You don't.
Delaney Walker
You gotta get them there. You just gotta get them there.
Clay Matthews
But what can you get?
Will Compton
Yeah, right. If the Eagles don't win the super bowl, you can. You can kind of come up with what you want. I don't know what you're thinking. You guys got any ideas?
Taylor
Well, I. I know there was a rumor floating around a couple days ago about him in Nebraska and tattoo on his ass. Like, oh, that sounds like a fair trade to me.
Clay Matthews
That's crazy. Just do the top comment 1. You know, like, when people post something, they say, I'll do the top comment. And that's what you.
Delaney Walker
No, no, don't do that. Not with the fans. We have.
Taylor
We had this conversation, too. I have enough tattoos to tell you. Like, I have about two dozen dumb tattoos that are like, these look ridiculous. You don't even think about it.
Delaney Walker
You can blend them. Yeah, you can blend it.
Taylor
An ass tattoo's funny, too.
Delaney Walker
Oh, no, just get a.
Clay Matthews
Hey, stay pure, buddy.
Delaney Walker
Tell him, get a little ant.
Taylor
We can get Joey to do it right there at the shop.
Clay Matthews
A little.
Will Compton
I ain't getting nothing on my.
Delaney Walker
No, no, no. He said no.
Clay Matthews
You got to get your ears pierced. Like something other than a tattoo.
Will Compton
Let's. You could just. We can do.
Clay Matthews
Got to get his ears.
Will Compton
20 minutes.
Clay Matthews
He's gotta. He's got to get his ears pierced.
Delaney Walker
Like, are you doing anything like that? You doing anything?
Will Compton
Get. We could take it out looking like Jalen hurts.
Clay Matthews
Looking like Jalen hurts you.
Delaney Walker
You got anything going in Nebraska? Make them do some stand up. Just for a day.
Will Compton
Everybody at the live just for a day.
Taylor
Here's Pierce and he's got to go. Robert Downey Jr. From Thunder.
Clay Matthews
Black dude.
Will Compton
Something simple that's coming through my head is just what I went through when I lost with the bus and bowl. You gotta shave. You gotta shave your head. You gotta shave your face.
Taylor
That's easy.
Will Compton
Yes. Just my face.
Delaney Walker
No, your head and your face.
Will Compton
He said shave my head in my face. Don't win the Super Bowl.
Taylor
You're leaving a lot of meat off.
Delaney Walker
The bone with that. But like, hey, he will look totally different.
Clay Matthews
You gotta get your chest waxed to win.
Taylor
But I'm telling you, like the tattoo thing. 40 year old virgin do that. Like he, he, he.
Will Compton
I do the tattoo.
Taylor
No, that's fake.
Delaney Walker
You have any tattoos?
Will Compton
I have two tattoos.
Delaney Walker
Oh, man. You'll do a tattoo.
Taylor
Do tattoo.
Delaney Walker
He got two tattoos.
Taylor
Small little cute ass. Little times New Roman, Nebraska end.
Will Compton
We can talk about it. We can follow up.
Clay Matthews
I like to hear.
Will Compton
I thank you for the gift.
Taylor
You're welcome.
Delaney Walker
Thank you.
Will Compton
Big dog in the the game again. The Eagles here by four and a half. I think the answer is right here on the box, fellas.
Clay Matthews
What does it say?
Will Compton
100 toasted.
Delaney Walker
Hey, that was good. That was good. Niners plus four zero.
Clay Matthews
I'm sorry, I thought that was so good. Oh, I thought you were going with the Eagles here, brother.
Will Compton
No, no, he.
Delaney Walker
That was his trick. He said they tell us.
Clay Matthews
Okay, okay, tell me how.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Toast.
Clay Matthews
No, I liked it. It was really good. I was kind of mad. I didn't think of.
Delaney Walker
Was good.
Clay Matthews
Hey, tell me how. Boys trying to do a show. Okay, tell me how, tell me how the 49ers are going to beat the Eagles here. Because we saw what happened when they played a good defense defense and you saw what happened when they play the.
Taylor
Texans, the Rams and the.
Clay Matthews
The Seahawks. The 49ers cannot generate much, if anything on offense and now they're going against a. Against those teams, Texans, Rams, Seahawks. And now they're going on the road to Philadelphia. And what's the one thing they do well?
Will Compton
Defense.
Delaney Walker
Defense.
Clay Matthews
Vic Fangio, former head coach, he's going to have it dialed up for these boys. I like Philadelphia right here. I like them. I ain't taking the. The. What do I have up here? Give me the. Give me the egos at minus two and a half.
Will Compton
You're right.
Delaney Walker
You are correct, my man. Yeah, you. You made. That's.
Taylor
I'm just personal.
Will Compton
Yeah, it is. It is a little personal. The emotional tie I'm feeling toward the Niners is just imagine yourself when you were on that roster, because there's several guys, staff included, that was on that roster when they. When they went out to Philly a couple years ago. I'm just assuming this feeling that they're going to have when they just step into that stadium, and obviously they're. They're the underdog, back against the wall. They're going to have to go out there. The question marks around offensive and everything else, but I just believe in the boys, man. I believe in CMC Purdy. I'm just rooting for the 49ers. So I'm taking that. That personal feeling, that emotional feeling, and that's what I'm bringing out to Philadelphia. Not a lot to hang my hat on.
Clay Matthews
Right?
Will Compton
But I'm going with the 49ers moneyline. I'll take money line.
Clay Matthews
That's what he took.
Delaney Walker
You gave a clear point about.
Will Compton
I know. Trust me.
Taylor
Because it has. I know everything is like. I mean, besides, you know, the three teams, you said, like, they're scoring 32.5 points per game. Brock Purdy, when he got back from injury. They're the most efficient team on third down. Like, there's a lot of things you look at and go, all right, the thing that makes me the most nervous, Trent Williams, Ricky Pearsall, done. Those two guys are on the injury report. Don't know. I was actually looking it up while we were. While Klopp was not doing a bet, and I just. It just was a thing of Shanahan being like, we'll see what happens. I don't know what's going to happen. I assume if they can play, they will play. And if they do play, I'm with you on all that. The Eagles are the number one team in efficiency in the red zone. That's the. That's another thing that scares me. They're a better. They're a better roster than the 49ers. They're healthier than the 49ers. Something about that stadium and that NFC championship and Brock Purdy, having them on their heels and getting injured and having CMC have to run over the yard, play backyard football. That taste is in their mouth. As much as, you know, the Eagles win the super bowl the next year, there's. The expectations are through the roof. They're well below expectations. And I just think about that halftime when it's a close game and maybe the 49ers are even up by, you know, three points or so. The stadium's loud. The nerves start to Hit where they're no longer being like, hey, it's week 14. It's week 13. We can. Let's figure it out. We can get things going. There's not a whole lot of pressure there. Now the stadium's booing your home team. The pressure sets in. If we don't win this game, we're one and done. And we know how loud it gets in Philly. I like the 49ers. I like the 49ers for hope. I like the 49ers the same way I like the Ole Miss last week. There's a level of hope and a level of like. There's a get back coming with the 49ers and the Eagles. And I like George Kittle and the boys getting it done. And the idea of Fred Warner taking the field eventually, if they can keep going.
Delaney Walker
Oh, yeah, they said post.
Taylor
They were talking about him doing a. I think evil next week.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, next week.
Taylor
I would love nothing more.
Delaney Walker
I would see that man come back.
Taylor
After a dislocated ankle.
Delaney Walker
Don't play too many snaps, though. Dang it.
Taylor
The safe bet is the Eagles.
Delaney Walker
Safe bet. Don't play that boy.
Will Compton
Safe bet. The Eagles.
Taylor
Say betsy Eagles. I'll hit the 49ers with the points. You know what, dude? I'll do money line. I'll stand in solidarity.
Delaney Walker
I'm taking the under 46 and a half.
Taylor
He's gonna hit, too.
Will Compton
That's a good pick. Honestly.
Taylor
That's a good one.
Delaney Walker
This everything, y'?
Ryan Seacrest
All?
Clay Matthews
Is it 46 and a half? Is this old?
Will Compton
We might have to change.
Taylor
Yeah, under 46 and a half.
Will Compton
Yeah, it's a good pick.
Taylor
Yeah, I'm gonna go under.
Will Compton
I got caught up again. Personal, emotional feel of everything.
Delaney Walker
I'm looking at scoring defense, defense, defense. Both defenses has been playing good right now. The 49ers has been clamping down. Every once in a while. Every once in a while, I see them coming.
Clay Matthews
They didn't clamp down against the Bears. They gave up.
Delaney Walker
No, they didn't clamp down against the Bears. I don't know what the hell that game was. It was just slugfest.
Taylor
Look at your fingernails. They didn't know what it was.
Will Compton
Yeah, she go opposite of Queenion Mitchell.
Taylor
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Delaney Walker
If you go opposite, you'd be all.
Taylor
Right, but if Pierce on Williams plays. I felt real good about the 49ers all of a sudden.
Delaney Walker
I'm still gonna take that under, though, I should say.
Taylor
Yeah, I'm with you on the under. Yeah, I've changed Everything I just said, we can literally just wipe it off the face of the earth. I'm going under with you. Oh, that's the move. You're going Eagles minus two and a half.
Clay Matthews
Yeah. Yeah.
Will Compton
He feels good about that. You can see it in his eyes.
Taylor
I like it. Game of the week.
Delaney Walker
Game of the week.
Will Compton

Taylor
Doesn'T matter I got True Classic having my back let's get into the True Classic Game of the Week.
Will Compton
Every weekend's got games, but only one fits just right. This is True Classic's game of the week. We got the Green Bay packers and Clay Matthews going out to The Chicago Bears. Third time this season.
Clay Matthews
I love it.
Will Compton
Packers favored one and a half over under on this game 45 and a half. The Green Bay legend himself.
Clay Matthews
I love that it's come to this. I love after those first two games where the packers win on interception in the end zone and then an overtime loss to the Bears that they get a chance to meet up again. I think this is what both NFL teams wanted. The packers and the Bears, I think is what both franchises, the fans, excuse me, wanted. And I think this is good for the NFL to speak on behalf of the Packers. You throw away that week 17, you know, Minnesota game because they rest their starters. You look back at the Ravens game and it just leaves you with a terrible taste in your mouth with what Derek Henry and they were able to do. But you go back to what Jordan Love was doing before he got knocked out of that Chicago game game, even back to the Denver game. I mean, they were rolling until Christian Watson got injured and even Micah, obviously it deflated, you know, their sales. But getting Jordan Love back, I believe they get Zach Tom back on their offensive line, they're going to put up points. I know that. But the defense needs to understand they were a top five defense last year without Micah Parsons. They need to buy back into that. I know it's it's like you brought him in to get you over the hump, but it needs to get back to that. And they outplayed the Bears for the majority of both those games. It came down to a, you know, a fumbled onside kick, a beautiful pass by Caleb and a myriad of other things to make it happen. So I don't see why not. Why can't the packers go and do this. But the real reason why I'm sticking with the packers, besides my loyalty and bias, is I think the Bears peaked. I think they overachieved. I think they're tired. If you would have told me or anybody that the Bears would win the NFC north and be the number two seed, they out. You know, they overachieved. And so at this point, as opposed to before the season, when the packers had all the pressure on them going into the season, now it's like nobody's betting on the packers to win this game. I know they're, you know, at minus one and a half right here, but the Bears having a home game, I think all the pressure's on them. So I see the packers going in here and getting it done. I don't. I don't have anything down. I'd love to hear y', all, all three, as far as, you know, what you're going to take, as far as the spread the money line and whatnot. But I just think, you know, the packers are primed to upset the Bears here in their house. And if there's any rallying cries, like I told you, it's that 2010 team that I was a part of to go be some road dogs, go on the road and get it done. So even if the packers are limping in, I think they have more than enough talent to get it done. And I just don't think the Bears. I think they, they. They're done. You know, they. They. They achieve more than they set out more, and then they're just, you know, you saw what happened last week against the Lions. I picked, you, said, you know, Dan Campbell and them, but I didn't believe it. And then I saw the lions put up 440 yards against them. They're just toying with the Chicago's defense. They have their starters out there. Maybe they were looking forward to the playoffs, but I think it's over for them. Think the packers get it done.
Will Compton
The packers are going to let everybody know that the Bears still suck.
Clay Matthews
Yeah, exactly.
Will Compton
I'm looking at that camera and said, tell them that.
Clay Matthews
What would you like me to tell them? The Bears still suck?
Will Compton
The packers are going to go in.
Clay Matthews
No, I'm not.
Taylor
I'm not.
Clay Matthews
I mean, you're gonna tell me what to say into the camera.
Will Compton
The Bear still.
Clay Matthews
When we come back next Wednesday, I'm gonna come in here, okay?
Taylor
Let them know what's what.
Will Compton
That's just what I was hoping. Because you were going through that incredible monologue. I was like, he Going to end this.
Clay Matthews
I, I just. A lot of notes, but I'm trying to put it all together. I just, I feel confident about it, but I don't. I don't know how. I don't know if it's going to be high scoring affair, low scoring. I just, I see the packers putting a point.
Delaney Walker
This going to be the biggest game of the week for sure.
Taylor
That's why it's game of the week.
Delaney Walker
We made it. That I'm saying in general, it will be.
Taylor
No one's talking about this game but us, but it's going to be the best.
Delaney Walker
Historically. Historically, these two teams are like, known for a rivalry. And they only played, what, twice in the playoffs before. I want to say this may be the third time. Right. So everyone is looking for this game. You saying the Bears suck. Going on national tv, getting a letter from Donald Trump.
Clay Matthews
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
And telling everybody the Bears still suck. This is a game that everyone's gonna have their eyes on. And we gonna get a lot of comments. A lot of comments.
Clay Matthews
Hey, but I need to know what are your thoughts? All right.
Taylor
Cause everybody else. All right.
Clay Matthews
I need to know.
Delaney Walker
We get a lot.
Clay Matthews
Yeah.
Will Compton
You got the painted nails.
Taylor
People are gonna watch this game.
Delaney Walker
They gonna watch this game.
Taylor
When you sit down, you watch this game.
Clay Matthews
What do you think?
Taylor
Are you wearing cheese on your head or a cheese grater on your head?
Delaney Walker
I mean, I'm already bared down. I'm already bared down. So with that being said, he Daddy bear. We can get him Daddy bear.
Taylor
He bait baby bear.
Delaney Walker
I'm gonna take the Bears plus one and a half.
Taylor
You know who daddy Bear is.
Delaney Walker
Only just because Kevin Byer came on busting with the boys. Shout out busting with the boys and talked about the boy now. So, you know, I mean, I gotta ride with that.
Clay Matthews
That's it. That's all it took.
Will Compton
So you go on Bears one and a half or Bears money line?
Delaney Walker
Bears money line.
Taylor
All right, Come.
Will Compton
I gotta roll with my dog. This is Green Dot, gang. I will say this. I, I agree with that. I agree with a lot of the sentiment that he's saying. You look at the, you look at this matchup. The, the, the hype and the celebrating that the Bears have gotten, like, over all the things that they've overcome. The fourth quarter wins and everything else. The juice that this place has had. You, you also would, you also wouldn't even think that they just lost the last two weeks in a row. You just feel like they got. They have a lot of momentum going into the playoffs and Then you look at the packers, the way they kind of ended. They got. What was their overall record?
Clay Matthews
97 and 961 or something.
Will Compton
97 and 1. I. I feel like everybody's sleeping on Jordan Love coming back. Not necessarily talking about the Packers.
Taylor
The.
Will Compton
The idea of Ben Johnson going out there to shake lafleur's hand after the game in Chicago. Chicago's gonna be on fire. And I'm just. I'm getting in the foxhole with my guy. But I will say, if the Bears win, we gotta. We gotta burn our Clay Matthews jerseys.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Damn.
Will Compton
Hey, we gotta burn them.
Delaney Walker
I didn't even. I didn't even.
Taylor
I love to. You know what I'll do? I'll kind of sneak one to this.
Clay Matthews
Thank you. You gotta burn my jerseys.
Will Compton
Yeah.
Clay Matthews
I'm not even a part of the team anymore. I'm just a fan.
Taylor
But you talking about being biased. We're talking. He talking about foxhole. I'm also in foxhole with you. So it's like, yeah, this is a put up or shut up game for Clay Matthews. I mean, okay, as much as you've been out of the league, you're right.
Will Compton
Because KB coming on. It's like, I'm. I've enjoyed watching the Bears season unfold. I'm like, I don't have, like, skin in the game on who I'm room for to win this game. I'd love to see it for the city of Chicago. I'd love to see the packers get back in the fight and be like, oh, is this going to be a contender now to be the representative for the nfc? So I'm just putting it all on.
Taylor
Clay Macy, but we killed.
Delaney Walker
I hate to bust y' all bubble. They playing in Chicago.
Clay Matthews
And what do you. What do you always tell us? Hey, what do you always tell us about the Packers?
Delaney Walker
They cannot play away. I rest my case.
Taylor
Hey, I tell you what the Bears have done, though. You brought the Lions and how they gave over 400 yards of offense last three games. They give it up over 1300 yards.
Clay Matthews
Oh, on the offense, the defense is.
Taylor
Giving up 1300 yards.
Clay Matthews
No, they lost two and they won, which was absurd.
Taylor
Pull back the bail a little bit. Let's go back to 2010. Let's even go back a year earlier, 2009, the packers are 30 and 7 against the Bears. In that time, Jordan Love win healthy. When he starts a game and finishes a game, he's four. Zero against the Bears.
Delaney Walker
When the Bears were guac.
Taylor
I'm letting you know we have to get flowers like Caleb's 58 yards away from having a 4,000 yard passing.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Yeah.
Taylor
The Bears have never had that before. He's clearly going to hit that. Unless something crazy happens in the beginning of the game, he's gonna hit that. So give him flowers on that. But I see the packers walking away.
Clay Matthews
It's over. You can't hit for it. They don't count playoffs.
Delaney Walker
They don't.
Taylor
Oh, it's over.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, it's done.
Clay Matthews
You gotta do it again.
Taylor
Walk away with.
Clay Matthews
Yeah, yeah.
Delaney Walker
But it's close.
Will Compton
That guy.
Taylor
Dude, that sucks.
Will Compton
I know.
Clay Matthews
You knew that like after the playoff.
Taylor
Actually found that out on the show this moment just now.
Clay Matthews
Now.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor
Sucks, bro.
Delaney Walker
Well, because then you got playoffs. So now your playoffs. That start.
Taylor
Yeah, yeah. Damn, that sucks for him. But I got the Packers. I got the Packers. As much as things change, they also stay the same. And the packers have owned the Bears for a long time. I love the back and forth. I love the story. I love the. The rich history rivalry that you just brought up a little bit. All well said. I think when it comes down to it, this would be a high flying game. This is probably going to be an over game. But just for the sake of this being the true classic game of the week that some people may not watch, but a lot of people are going to watch, I'm going to take the packers here.
Clay Matthews
Packers money line.
Delaney Walker
We'll go watch this.
Taylor
At the end of the day, Clay Matthews is gonna let you know that.
Clay Matthews
What The Bears still suck.
Taylor
That's right.
Will Compton
Packers money line.
Delaney Walker
Wait, y' all taking packers money pack on me.
Will Compton
One, two, three. I got the big dog better today.
Delaney Walker
You do.
Will Compton
You bet. The boys parlay four touchdown scores. Taylor, would you like to start it off?
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Can we?
Taylor
Let's say what the total is. When you hear all four names, that's going to be plus 2,620.
Clay Matthews
All right.
Taylor
You put $10 down.
Will Compton
Big game hunting this weekend fell.
Taylor
You're making $262. And don't forget the seven cents at all. Also come with it. Listen, I got Christian McAffrey, 49ers get in the end zone.
Delaney Walker
Delaney, James Cook. Buffalo Bills versus the Eagles Bank.
Taylor
Don't say yours yet. Don't say yours yet.
Delaney Walker
Jaguars.
Clay Matthews
Hey, let me get Trayvon Henderson to get a touchdown this week.
Taylor
I love it. All three are like, people are probably watching that going okay. Yeah, obviously.
Delaney Walker
Easy.
Will Compton
Drake. Drake May. May anytime. Touchdown this weekend against the Chargers.
Taylor
I love, I love our group chat being like, let's. Clay Matthews puts in Hendrickson hey, let's make sure we all do different games next Tech. You said text. You said Drake may. I'm like it, dude.
Clay Matthews
It's over.
Taylor
That's a hell of a parlay. And we had a. For those who don't know, we did a show last night at Zany's. We didn't. Jared Demon, Beeman. Let's give him a round of applause. He actually crushed it. He was unbelievable. After he finished his set, we took some questions. A couple of people said, hey, what's. What's the touchdown score? We told. I told him what it was based on our group chat. And then one guy in the corner was like, they never hit him. Little does he know, basically, we are way better this year than we were last year. So kindly that guy. Hell of a show though, right? Hell of a show.
Clay Matthews
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
How do the quarterback situation work, though?
Will Compton
He gotta run it in.
Delaney Walker
That was.
Taylor
That was offhanded. Compl or comment?
Will Compton
Drake. Drake.
Delaney Walker
Gotta run it in. I thought he can throw it in too.
Taylor
That's passionate.
Will Compton
So we need the running back in the QB to get.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, that's crazy.
Taylor
Walk in with the.
Delaney Walker
How many. How many times have you scored a rushing. Dudel.
Taylor
When he played the Bill. When they played the Bills. He had, I think the first two drives.
Clay Matthews
Trayon, right? Oh, you talking about Drake. Drake, yeah, but Trayon had that.
Will Compton
A few.
Clay Matthews
That huge, like 60 or 70 yard. He ran for over 200 that game or something. It was a lot.
Will Compton
I'll find it. I'll find it. I'll find it.
Delaney Walker
Four Russian tds. Oh, that's actually good. That's actually good.
Will Compton
We got a shot.
Delaney Walker
We got a shot.
Will Compton
The tough part is we need two guys on the same team. Qbn, running back.
Delaney Walker
Well, that's why you didn't read.
Will Compton
Especially when we. A little guy. He didn't read. But I was already locked in.
Delaney Walker
Oh, okay.
Will Compton
I kind of knew where I was going because right here it could be easy to throw in an etn.
Taylor
Jared standing up. He's clearly ready for the show to end. Let's end this show. We feel good. Is there anything you wanna say before we go, Jared?
Will Compton
We'll get it.
Delaney Walker
No. No offense to Africa.
Clay Matthews
Just the whole. The whole.
Taylor
I'm gonna. Hey, I'm real with you.
Delaney Walker
Cut out my cup of tea.
Taylor
Conquer with you. Not a big part of our demographic is the country or the whole fucking deal about it.
Delaney Walker
I mean, I know that. I'm just saying, no offense.
Taylor
Just letting you know you're probably safe.
Delaney Walker
All right.
Taylor
Big hugs, tiny kisses.
