B
This year just, you know, I'm all over the place.
A
I would love us to look back in the last three weeks.

I didn't say this. I said, this year I haven't been hitting.
A
Okay. I would love us to look back.
E
But you usually hit.
B
I usually hit.
C
I'm listening.
A
I would love us to look back at these last three weeks and see how many times Delaney goes, good, perfect, after all three of us in the same game and it goes the opposite way. And how many times it's worked out for him because you just.
B
Because I'm 50.
C

A
You got that. Can't get that neck around.
B
I'm talking about fading, you guys. But let me. Let me tell you this story real quick about the Titans before we get into this.
A
Yeah, you said. You said something happened last weekend.
D
Just.
B
It's quick. So, look, I get to the stadium, I don't have a ticket. Never do go up in there. They're like, oh, Delaney, I'm hugging people because I know I ain't got a ticket. So I gotta hug everybody, right? To get in this stadium. So I get in there, they go, oh, but wait, the Titans front office people looking for you. And I'm like, for what?
D
Why?
B
They're like, we don't know. Let us. Let us radio em in. So they radioed a front office person. This lady comes. I don't. I've never seen her before. She take. Oh, my name. Nadia. You remember Nadia?
A
Maybe, yeah.
B
So she goes, do you remember?
E
Probably, yeah. Stay in flow state. So she goes, do you remember y' all talking? Whoop.
B
No, no. She comes up to me and go, hey, do you remember me?
A
Whoop, whoop.
B
I watched the show. Taylor, a good friend of mine. So I'm like, really? So I'm like, damn, what do you do? She's like, I work in the front office. You don't remember coming up there with Taylor? And I'm like. So I'm like, taylor, do you remember Nadia?

Nice try. Good one. Yeah.
D
Dude.
A
Damn, you almost got me, too. I got you almost got me.
C
Damn.
A
She's like, nadia. I'm thinking I probably wouldn't remember anyway. Too many shots in the head.
B
But damn. I thought I was gonna get you.
A
That was a good try.
C
That was a good setup.
A
Yeah. Cause you even came in the shot. This crazy thing happened to me. So I'm ready to hear your story.
B
I didn't think he was gonna say. Yeah, I remember.
C
Wait, I think he said maybe.
B
I think you had it.
A
Yeah, I think he did. Cause if we said no, he could have got us, right?
B
No, he gotta go.
C
Who?
E
Nah, he just. I. I think he said Nadia out loud.
B
Yeah.
E
And that's where he.
B
No, he didn't.
A
Did you could.
B
Yeah, I said it the second time. He said Nadia. I should have got him.
A
Yeah. Hey, that's all right. Hey. That's reflective of your record this year.
E
All the story of the season.
D
Yeah.
A
Story of the season. Clay, you brought gifts.
C
Yes, I did bring gifts. Listen, boys, as you're well aware, it was a great day, a great weekend for Southern California sports teams, all right? Starting with the LA Dodgers. Back to back World Series. Just an unbelievable game. Hopefully you watch game nine, but let's move forward because it was also. It was a great Saturday night for the USC Trojans. They defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers. And I think, you know, it was. It was a hard fought match game. And I just want to bring some gifts and some items just to smooth things over, you know, like no hard feelings. Kind of like when we beat the Wolverines at home. So first off, I know you guys love your. Your black balloons. You released them. But my son, I blew them up. Stayed up late last night. My son comes down, he goes, dad, some of your balloons deflated. And I said, I know, son. Much like Nebraska's playoff hopes, they just deflated overnight. And then he goes, well, what are these for? And I say, well, they're remembrance balloons. You know, when somebody passes away, he goes, well, who died? I go, did somebody die? I go, yeah, a program did die. So I brought these for you because I know you love your black balloons. Okay? Just a little, little accoutrement here. I also brought you this. This Trojan helmet. I was hoping maybe you could just harness some of that power and just put it on real quick. Just put it on and I'm see the whole thing. I'm gonna have you open a gift here, okay? See if it fits. It doesn't fit my big brow, but let's see if it fits your head. Is it. Oh, you look good.
B
Yeah. Look good, look good.
A
I wouldn't even want to fight him.
C
The boys put together a card for you. Thoughts and prayers. Just keep your head up, kid. That's all. I just wanted to let you know. Right here. Wow. But, yeah. So I just. I got you one last gift. Now, listen, most people call Penn State linebacker you, but we all know USC is linebacker you. You would have made a hell of a Trojan. So I. I'm gonna spoil things. I got you your number 51. Actually, it's cut already. Don't worry about it. I think of everything. I got you Your own number 51 USC Trojans. Compton. Because you would have been a great linebacker.
B
Wow. Inside.
C
Wait a sec.
B
Wait, hold up.
C
Wait.
F
Hold that up.
C
That's not a 51 jersey. Whose is that?
B
Simpson.
A
Oh, no.
C
No, that's.
A
Oh, no.
C
That'S not what I ordered.
A
Dude, you gotta believe me.
C
I ordered you a 51 Compton jersey. Who did they send?
E
We got O.J.
C
Simpson. This is outrageous. I can't believe.
B
Wait, did NGO go to Nebraska?
C
What? Did you go to Nebraska, O.J. no, I ordered a 51 Compton jersey.
A
I'm starting to get nervous about the lady, man.
B
You know what that was saying, though, right?
C
Yeah, I'm sorry. We gotta send that back. That's not what I ordered. You gotta believe me, guys.
A
You're saying it. That's not what I ordered.
C
Like, buddy, I ordered a 51, not a signed 1968 Heisman OJ jersey. I wouldn't like. You believe me, though, right?
E
Look, man, y' all got lucky.
C
Sorry?
E
Y' all got lucky. Our starting quarterback went down. Y' all got lucky. Okay, big win for you guys. Our first blackout. Thank you for the gifts.
D
You're welcome.
E
But y', all, you know.
C
We should probably start the show, though, right? I mean, that was just kind of, like, threw things off. That's not what I ordered.
A
Will is this close, man.
C
You said you were over it, though. We just met and you're like, I'm over. It's good.
E
No, I said, oh, here comes front running, Clay Matthews. Y' all got lucky. Y' all got lucky with that. That game. Dylan Railo goes down in the third quarter. We had that one in the bag. We brought the fight to you guys. You guys weren't able to travel.
C
Well, I don't want to be negative, okay? I'm going to tell you this. That atmosphere looked electric. I will give you that. So for SC to overcome that playing on the road blackout, there's something to be said about that. And then also, you are a better fan of Nebraska than I am of usc. I just want you to know that. So you can call me a front runner.
E
Completely disgusting.
C
You can call me a Front runner, whatever it is. And you are like, I listen to you and I say you are a better fan than I am. But we're two and oh. Against boys on the show. And we don't play Central Missouri, so we can't make it three and oh.
B
Y' all blow us out.
E
Hard fought game.
C
It was hard fought game. And enjoy the gifts. I'll send that one back.
E
Enjoy Lincoln Riley while you got him.
A
You know he doesn't care.
C
About that call in, baby.
B
He don't.
C
All right, cool.
A
Let's get into the show. This was fun.
C
This is great.
A
We got to look into some stuff for you, but go ahead. We. We had a guy. Rainy gallery. We're going to get you, right?
B
Who?
E
What's up? You said what?
C
Did you ask Robert Gallery? Did you ask if he went to.
E
Yeah.
B
No, I said, did Nicole go to Nebraska?
C
Okay. All right. Hey. Fool me once, shame on me.
B
You don't get it.
C
Fool me twice, can't get fooled again.
D
No, I'm not.
B
I'm not doing a joke right now.
C
Oh, no, you're not trusting.
A
You started the show, but I'm doing a joke.
C
That's what you had said afterwards.
A
Yeah, it was too clever. I'm still over here.
E
Yeah. Delaney might be playing 5D chess right now. Hey, how y' all feel about the.
B
Y' all don't get that?
A
I get it now. And now I'm starting to worry about my brain.
C
Yeah.
A
All right, let's get to the game.
E
Will, aside from the games, what'd y' all think about trade deadline? Some great chaos out there.
B
Oh, my gosh. The sauce trade.
E
Sauce trade was crazy. Just because they extended him big this past. Yeah, big.
C
Oh, I'm sorry. I think the Colts extended them, but no. Yeah, you're right.
E
Yeah. No, the jets just paid him big time in the offseason.
A
Now they're trade cleaning house. Like jets are. Like, we're getting this first overall pick. I don't know what they're going to do. They got rid of everybody.
E
I kind of loved what the jets did.
A
Yeah. He said, but, dude, like, four first.
E
Round picks next year, like, you just sell apart.
B
You're shitty. Three years, four years maybe. He said, I'm going to do it the way I want to do it. So he's going to start fresh, get the guys. He feel like, yeah, if they believe.
E
In Coach Glenn, who, like, I feel like outside looking in. He just seems like a big culture guy. You have all this draft capital for young cats to come in, build up the organization you want to build up, like you suck. Like the team is shitty. So they are just selling away parts and moving their best players for all this draft capital.
C
Yep.
A
I just worry. I get nervous about the draft. I love like, I love the Rams when they were able to use their draft capital, go get guys and go in the super bowl that one year. Like that's the kind of shit that.
E
Maybe they'll be in a spot to potentially do it in a couple years. Like with. Because again, again, it's like think of it from a culture standpoint. You just paid a guy all the money in the world this past offseason. You're trading because you're not thinking we need all the draft capital. But there's gotta be something that they weren't aligned on with Sauce.
A
Yeah.
E
You know what I mean? Just culture wise with Aaron Glenn being a DC minded cat and the culture. So they're just purely building for the future.
B
Well, they moved mostly defensive players, didn't they? They got ready.
C
Yeah.
E
Quinn and Williams. He went to the Cowboys. Cowboys still like that's confusing.
A
Yeah. I mean they're. You can put whatever you want there. You can trade for everybody. It's not going to happen this year. It's over for you if you're with the Cowboys. I like the Colts doing that though because if you're using a first round pick, it's like Colts are one of the few teams in the NFL that you don't look and be like, okay, they have a glaring hole here, here, here. They're a pretty well put together team regardless of what happened this past week against the Steelers. So I love them. Just getting a tried and true all pro caliber corner that you can put by himself. Now your defensive scheme can get completely secondary gets better.
E
Just like that, overnight.
A
Just like that, overnight, dude.
E
My favorite one and I tweeted about it yesterday, but is it Rashid Rasheed Shahid.
A
Rashid Rasheed.
E
Rasheed Shahid.
C
Yeah.
E
Ra. Shaheed. Shaheed. That's my favorite move. Him going out to Seattle.
C
Yeah.
E
Cuz he's a baller, bro. He's like four. He's fourth in the league in targets. Like dude plays in the slot. He's going to open up JSN over top even more. Like their passing attack just got way better because Shaheed is a baller and he can return.
A
What they give up on a third or fourth.
C
That's not bad.
A
Yeah, I, I had a question for you too. With Sauce, him coming to the Colts, how quickly does a corner have to get integrated into a defense? Or can you just basically put him out there and be like, hey, run, man, run cover two here. Like, is it pretty easy for him just to go in and play this week and play a significant amount of snaps?
C
I think absolutely. I think when we talk. When you talk about the blitzes and whatnot, like, yeah, he'll have to pick that up. But when it comes to whether it's man 2, 4, 3, whatever zone or man coverage they're running, like, I feel like he can pick that up. And they're obviously bringing in him. Bringing him in now to throw him into the fire. They're obviously, like you had mentioned. Okay, we got our quarterback of the future. We got our running back, tight end, offensive line, defense. They add him, I think. Yeah, I think he starts. I think he starts this week.
B
Yeah.
E
If there's. If there's any positions you can train right away, it's like, it's. It's D line and it's the corner.
A
That's what I thought.
B
They played the Jags right this week. I think they got the Jaguars. Do they got Jaguars this week?
E
No, Texans and it's Texas and Jazz.
A
Jaguars are actually a team we're talking about this week in London. London to join the team.
E
God, that's crazy.
B
Oh, my God.
C
Business. Germany.
D
Yeah, Germany.
E
Germany.
A
They got to go over there. They got to go over there.
B
It's. It's. That's crazy, though.
A
Not America. Not America. And that's all you really need to be said. Let's get into the games. Let's rip. Let's rip it apart. I love the trades. I want to dive more into it, though. But I saw the Juice and the. Quinn Williams is crazy. Ravens, they're at the Vikings. J.J. mcCarthy. Boys, J.J. mcCarthy. Ravens are favored, minus four and a half. Total points in the game is 47 and a half. Does anybody want to take this one?
E
I'm just. I'm taking Ravens. I think they're. They're going to surge and try and take over. The North Steelers had a massive win against the Colts. Vikings like JJ McCarthy, he showed up in big moments that you want to see, but he still took for what, 140, 150. Like, I'm not buying the juice. I can't believe that the Vikings went into Detroit and beat him.
B
Beat him.
E
But I'm not going to. I'm not going to start. I'm not, like, convinced of the Vikings because they had, like, one of their better defensive performances all year, too. I'm just taking the Vikings. I'm taking their juice. They're in playoff mode the rest of the way. Four and a half points, Ravens.
C
I'm with you on that. I think you meant to say you're taking the Ravens. I take the Ravens too here. I think this is their march to the top of the AFC North. Steelers did have a huge win. I did not predict them beating the Colts, but they put them. The Ravens put the Steelers on notice. They come up with a big win, but their defense has fallen short for the majority of this year. But you look at the last three games, one of those games was against the Rams, holding the opponents to an average of 13 points and 315 yards per game. Their defense is at least I like to believe, based on those stats ascending and making that push. Like you had said, I took the juice. I drank the juice. After that Week 1 win, Vikings over the Bears. And then they just laid an egg against the Falcons the very next week. I'm not doing it again this week. So give me the Ravens. I think it's gonna be a close game. Give me the Ravens money line.
E
Doc, you can't do that. They're favored by four and a half.
C
It might be a three point game.
E
You gotta go Vikings with the points then.
C
Says who? Well then why wouldn't fanduel just give me. You know what I'm saying? Like what are you saying? I'm scared.
B
You can do it, but it's.
E
You're definitely scared.
B
The odds is crazy. That's what they saying.
A
I mean, we ran into this a couple years ago.
B
Yeah, Yeah, I used to do this.
E
Delaney. Be taking money lines at any point.
C
Delaney. You got bullied and I was winning. You got. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You were winning. Now you're getting bullied into a los boy's fault.
A
There's two. There's you can do. There's. There's three options. You can take Baltimore, who's favored by four and a half. You can take Minnesota. And if they lose by less than four point or four points or less, they win.
C
Give me Ravens minus four and a half. Because you think it's going to be a close game just going to the Jews? No, because I believe I'd rather go down. I'd rather die on this hill than. Than the other one.
A
Okay, you don't want to jump into the same problem. You ran into week one versus week.
E
Two Ravens about to win this game by three points.
C
He's got to be sick.
B
Why are you going to say that?
A
He's going to be sick. I love Chaos Delaney.
C
Are you, you going Ravens, man?
B
You know what?
C
Checks, notes.
B
It'S tough, man. I know the Vikings beat Detroit and you know, I was sitting here thinking about that. What kind of Vikings team is going to play against the Ravens. But I feel like Detroit played to the Vikings level. Sometimes that happened when you come in, you're a high power team. You also play to the team's level. That ain't doing so well. So I see the Ravens as a, a better Vikings team. So I, I see that this is going to be a close game, but I think the Ravens going to come out on top. Getting Lamar back healthy, getting Derrick Henry that ball. And I just think the Vikings offense is inconsistent. They got a young quarterback that's going to be calling the plays if they can put pressure on them. I, I just see it's going to be a rough day for the Vikings. So, yeah, I'm taking, I'm going with the Ravens, man.
C
Tell us why J.J. mcCarthy, Michigan's J.J. mcCarthy is going to beat the Ravens.
A
I got nothing for you on that. I'm more pissed off that I'm sitting here looking at you three. I had the same kind of thought process. Like Baltimore Ravens, they're in the playoffs right now. Like when you start the way they did the first six games and going their bye week, it's like we have to win every single one. And the Steelers start to teeter a little bit. They lose two in a row, then they come back and win the Colts. Their defense looks incredible. We're not talking about them right now. It's like Derrick Henry splitting carries. Lamar Jackson is. Has the highest success rate against the blitz in the entire NFL. Who blitzes the third most in the NFL? The Minnesota Vikings. And then I go back to that week one, week two, where it's like, yeah, J.J. we all kind of get hyped up. He had a similar stat line. He looked like he understood the game for four quarters. As opposed to that Bears game where I was like, this kid's completely lost and had a wild 180 in the middle of that third quarter. I'm still going to go Baltimore minus four and a half. But I hate the fact that they were all sitting here and saying the same thing.
E
You got a real opportunity, especially when Delaney goes Ravens real opportunity.
C
This is at Minnesota. They're going to have the skull chant going and the, the giant horn. Do it, do it.
A
It's all right.
C
All right. Give me, give me Vikings plus four and a half.
E
Yeah. Hell yeah. That juice me up.
A
That means you're gonna win.
C
I hope so.
E
I think you got it.
C
Hope I don't get that or Will.
A
And I just die.
B
Out of you.
E
I think you got it.
B
But they still taking the Ravens. Think about that.
C
Yeah, no, I think the Ravens are gonna win. But Maybe it's a 2421 game or something.
A
It could easily be 2421. You can bet that exact score if you want the FanDuel sports book. Are you excited for this, Will? Because Superior is worth playing for Michelob Ultra.
C
Yes sir.
A
Are we five and five right now when it comes to playing for an Ultra five and six? I'm down one. Okay, I'm down one for a Michelob Ultra.
E
Will Compton Superior Bragging rights Superior Light beer for for the Ultra.

Here's a total for you. Over under 38 and a half. That's what we're looking at with Jaguars going out to Houston playing the Texans. Texans favorite in this game. One and a half just said what the over under is. This is going to be a low scoring battle. Maybe a look at what we just saw with them in the Denver Broncos.
C
Hey, tell me where you heard this line before. Texans would have won if their starting quarterback didn't get hurt.

Wow.
B
Wow.
C
Maybe if those. Maybe a C.J. stroud would just slide earlier or maybe if that other team would just protect their quarterback from those pass rushers, things would be different and they would have been different. The Texans would have won if C.J. stroud was healthy. So I'm going to borrow that line from you here. I think the Texans, well, first off, they did a phenomenal job against the Broncos. They limited bo nix to 175 passing yards. Only got after him. Well, excuse me, only had one sack but got after him all game. Did a great job covering in the secondary. I think they're going to feast against this Jaguars team who has a rash of injuries. I don't know who's coming back. Obviously Travis Hunter to IR. Is Brian Thomas Jr. Playing Devin Lloyd? Is he back?
E
They went out too and got Jacoby Myers from, from the Raiders, which I think Jacoby's now in a better spot.
C
It is, but that's a harder position than defensive back to come and make an immediate impact. I like, I like. Well, here's what I'll say. C.J. stroud plays. I like the Texans getting this win. This is at Houston if Davis Mills plays. I think Jaguars win another close game. They won the first game 17 to 10. Just, just for a little, little reference. So give me C.J. stroud's Texans. Not Davis Mills, Texans.
E
Okay, okay, I'm going with the Texans. I just. Something about that defense. I just can't give up on the Texans right now. And you know, I like the Jags too, but I see this being a low score. I personally, I kind of love the under here. Under 38 and a half parlayed with the Texans money line just to get the one and a half off the board. But I'm going Texas Texans minus one and a half. Love the defense, bro. Jaguars the way, the way this, this game will come down to the final drive. And that's where I'm just iffy because the Texans just haven't gotten it done when it comes down to it. But I'm going Texans here. C.J. stroud, Davis, Mills, doesn't matter. Give me the Texans minus one and a half. That defense shows up in a big way because they're not out of it three and five. They've had tough losses. They can make it interesting here with The Jags being 5 and 4 and I just can't quit the Texans right now. Something about defense. Something about defense.
B
You said. Are you doing taking the Texans?
E
I'm going. Texans minus one and a half.
B
Yeah.
A
Well, do you want me to go?
E
Do you want to go?
C
You can go.
A
Okay, I'll go. I believe. I believe in the Texans defense. I don't believe in the quarterback for the Texans. I think with the CJ Strapping touching protocol that I don't know what to expect from that offense. What I did see in that game against the Broncos is their run game, although, like, statistically not the best in the world. They were able to move the change and take care of the time of possession. Jacksonville's offensive line early in the year were doing a great job protecting Trevor Lawrence as the year kind of progressed, kind of went. When they went overseas, that's when you start to saw. You saw two games in a row of seven sack games, and they haven't really gotten better since then. I see the Texans defensive line feasting in this game. Absolutely feasting. But I don't. The. The quarterback is the part that scares me. And that's where I look at this number of 38 and a half. And I think a lot of people look at 32. Like, that's not a lot. I'm going under 38 and a half in this game. That's my most confident bet when I look at this, this slate right here, because I don't. I think the Jags are too consistent at the wide receiver position. I think Trevor Lawrence is way too inconsistent. He's gonna be running for his life all day. And so, yeah, with Little and Cleveland on the left side of that line, they've had a couple of tough weeks. It's gonna. It's. It's gonna be ugly. It's gonna be boring. No one's gonna really care about this game. And at the end, I think we're looking at less than 38 1/2 points.
E
Solid pick.
B
That was a good pick. Because I think it's gonna be a defensive game. We talking about the Texans. The Texans just showed signs of being competitive, but again, it' and then them being able to protect and being disciplined. I just think the Jaguars defense is getting better week by week, man, the ability to take away, take away with passes and interceptions, man, I'm going Jaguars that. Hey, I like it though.
C
Texas 05 and 1score games this year and right now with the spread, when.
E
It comes down to it, I'd just easily be a field goal game for Jags right there at the end.
B
I'm taking Jags.
A
You take the quarterback too. I like that pick. I like that pick a lot. Rams at 49ers. Rams are favored minus three and a half. Total points in that game is 50 and a half points.
E
Who's taking the west, boys? Who's taking the NFC West? Like it glaringly to me it's Seahawks. I know it's Seahawks or Rams, but the Niners just sitting there six and three like the injuries that they've had. The coaching job that Kyle Shana has done. Mack, Mac, the way Max played.
C
Mac Jones, five wins as the backup quarterback, which is just a testament to Shanahan. But as you mentioned. Yeah, I think it's going to come. I, I don't think they can weather the storm against the seat. This is the Rams I'm talking about against the Seahawks. Again, sorry, I'm talking about the 49ers. Yeah, weather storm against the Seahawks in the Rams. And I. You look at that Rams team and for whatever reason they have just been flying under the radar. I don't know if it was because of the, the Dodgers, I don't know if it was just because of lack of. Of primetime games, but Stafford, the last two weeks, five touchdowns against the Jags, four more against the Saints. Puka picks up right where he left off with 100 yards. Sounds like he's good to play this next week. Kyron Williams rushes for over 100 yards. Blake Corum has over 50 in their defense. You couple that with a defense that is young. You know who's. I know verse gets all, all the praise but.
B
Oh, buddy, buddy.
C
No, no, no, no. The sack. This is number zero or number ten. The, the third rounder. Oh, why am I blanking on?
B
I know.
C
Well come back to me on that. He had another sack but they called a rough in the passer on him. I mean it was just like he was getting after it all day. Really impressed with him. But I think they're the most well coached and disciplined team that is just flying under the radar right now. I don't see. And now listen, I believe I bet the Rams to beat the 49ers the first time around.
A
We all did.
E
We all did. Thursday Night Football. That Fumble. That happened on the goal line. I know.
A
What a shoulda they gave up.
C
I think Rams defense gave up 400 yards. I just don't see that happening again. It's. It's in San Francisco. I don't think that matters. I just see the Rams continuing to get better, continuing to stack wins and the 49ers just hanging on. Listen, like I said, it's a testament to Shanahan, Mac Jones, what they've been able to do. But you know, they get Kittle back. McCaffrey is a dog, but you know there's a certain point where you just can't overcome all the injuries, specifically on the defensive side.
A
You thought about that two weeks ago, Giants this week, they looked unbelievable. Mac Jones has been like, I know the whole conversation has been about like Purdy and all that. Like who comes, when he comes back, who's going to play like Mac Jones has handled the podium correctly. They were doing it without George Kittle. George Kittle's then come back. Your offensive line is looking a little older, but their oldest guy, Trent Williams has looked incredible. I think for the Rams. This is, you're putting on the same tape from that Thursday night football game a few weeks ago. And this is a, this is a get back game. I got the Rams minus three in this one. Puka, Adams, Stafford, Corum, onward.
B
It's tough for me to go against the 49ers. Y' all know how much I love Mac and what he's been doing right now, you know what I mean? But that defense and that vulnerability on that defense, I just think that the Rams is going to exploit that. Especially with the momentum and offensive firepower that they have right now with Matt Stafford back there controlling that offense and getting all those guys back. Those receivers making plays, the running backs, you got two double headed running backs back there getting ball, getting yards. Man, this is tough. I really don't want to go against the 49ers, but I'm gonna have to take these Rams.
A
Damn.
E
Damn Rams. But it's going to be a field goal game. I'll take the Niners plus three and a half. I feel like we, you know, it's like when's the tide going to turn? When it catches up to them. It hasn't yet and I just, I believe that they can cover this game. I do think the Rams win it. It's going to come down. Field goal, last drive. They're going to get out of there with a win. But I'm taking the Niners to cover this game. Take a Niners.
B
Even with that defensive line getting at their. I mean, we see Mac get up after time, getting hit and hit, but I just think those pants falling, hands falling, throwing up, bad body balling. But I think those raps is gonna get after that boy.
C
Yeah, I just.
B
I just think they.
A
They did the last game. They still won.
D
True.
A
McCaffrey, bro. So we got Rams.
E
Yeah. I'm so low. I'm so low on the Niners. Niners plus three and a half.
A
You put yourself in a good position there, Willie.
B
Thank you for taking that.
E
Yeah, I got you, D. Sunday Night Football.
A
Steelers at Chargers. Chargers are favored minus three. Total points in the game is 45 and a half.
E
Joe all out.
C
Yeah.
B
Out for a year.
A
I mean, and Joe's been, like, in and out a couple of times. We have a nice little sample size when he's not in the game. They're completely different team.
B
They lose.
A
Justin Herbert is one of the most hit quarterbacks, if not the most hit quarterback in all the NFL. And the Steelers defense, when you put on the film versus the Steelers and the Colts, like, what is the biggest difference between that defense besides Jalen Ramsey playing safety? It's the defensive line. It's Highsmith, it's Watt, it's Hayward. Those guys were getting after a very good Colts offensive line. With Joe Alt not playing like they. The Steelers have the recipe to be successful like they. They showed against arguably one of the best teams in the NFL this past week that if you play like this, you have an opportunity to be contenders in this league. But they've been so inconsistent. I think they see that. Okay, this is what we can do. Highsmith, I thought, played incredible along with Wallach. Both those guys slipping under blocks, getting these tackles to start backing up a lot, getting in their chest, bringing them back to the quarterback. The inside of that pocket getting condensed like there was nowhere for Daniel Jones to go. And with Joe Walt being out. Slater's been out the whole entire year with a leg. They're on their, like, fourth, fifth, and sixth tackles. It seems like I just.
E
In running back.
A
Yeah, I see the Steelers taking this one. It's gonna make the AFC north look crazy. Yeah, because it's.
E
And what about old Peyton Wilson now at the second level?
B
What about.
A
Oh, yeah, buddy. That kid was incredible.
C
No, okay, but he.
A
I mean, up in a pick, east, west, ripping around like the kid can run. And then Ramsey at the safety position, dude, like, he's out there, these little bubble screens. He's playing, like, seven, eight yards off the ball and he is flying in there.
C
There.
A
He just seems like kind of like Derwin James a little bit where he can kind of do what he wants in the field and he's got. He's got a nose for it. I'm in this position where I don't want to get excited about the Steelers because they showed a little bit of consistency earlier in the year. We all kind of got on them and then they've shit the bed. But I like the way they stand against this Chargers offensive.
E
I think it's all justified, though, defense. We say it all the time, $179 million on that defense. They did show up last week against a good Colts team. Yeah, I was calling the Colts overrated not too long ago. I do. I like the Steelers here just because, like, they're leading the north. But you can't tell me that they're not hearing all this noise about the Ravens and the doubt that's kind of creeped in when they dropped a couple weeks ago. Going on the road how almost said in San Diego going on the road at the Chargers. I'm taking Aaron Rodgers here with three points no matter what. Even if they don't get out of this game with the win, with having three points, it being a close cover. Like, I like the Steelers here. I like them hearing the noise. I like them embracing the noise. I. And turning on the tape and showing how well everybody ran around last week defensively because that's where their big question mark's been. Because Aaron Rodgers is going to be Aaron Rodgers. I think as we get closer to playoff time and just owning the north, owning the AFC north because everybody's talking about them. Ravens are going to be coming. Because they are going to be coming. But I like the Steelers here on the road.
C
Yeah, I agree with everything you guys had said. I'm just curious, did you think there was a possibility for the Steelers to trade for a wide receiver? Because I'm not going to say it wasn't. You know, I wasn't surprised that they didn't, but I would have. I would have liked to have seen that. Because you know what you have on defense, you've just been. It's either feast of famine and their two biggest wins of the year against the Patriots and the Colts, 11 takeaways. But on the offensive side, I guess you know what you are. But they're having trouble running the ball. Jalen Warren ran for like 40 yards last week. He did score two touchdowns. But a rod's gonna throw for 200 to 250. He's not going to turn it over, give you a touchdown or two. Super efficient. But I would have liked to have seen them add another weapon on offense to continue that lead in the AFC North.
E
They were in a lot of conversations about trying to get a receiver there.
C
I don't know how serious they were. But yeah, I like Pittsburgh here. I just hate how up and down they are in defense. But I think we just have to understand and perhaps the team does and the defense understands like hey, we're only going to go as far as our defense takes us. And man, I played in the Coliseum when I was with the Rams and the SOFI is just an extension of that. These Pittsburgh fans are going to travel. It's going to be like a home game for them. A rod going back to California. And just like you had said, hearing the noise of how well Baltimore is doing and just continue to keep that lead in the AFC North. So I like the Steelers with this one.
E
And as inconsistent as the Steelers defense has been like going on the road like the veteran leadership is in the locker room to where to your point that we're only going to go as far as the defense as well as the defense plays like they got the cats in there, they got the old heads in there to know that the pressure is on them.
A
Yeah, Chargers.
B
That I'm going Chargers.
A
Hell yes.
C
How are they going to win?
B
Justin?
C
Herb Moxie.
B
Oh, top five.
A
Hey, top five quarterback.
C
I was gonna say, if there's a quarterback who needs to be in the MVP discussion is Justin Herbert. His numbers are great and everything but what he does single handedly for that team, he's leading all quarterbacks and rush yards. He's some dual threat. Lamar Jackson, it's just because he's running for his life out there, making Kelly.
D
Out of his life.
B
He's stiff farming, he trucking, catchy, getting up, dropping the ball like come on now. My man out there, he trucked. He trucked the linebacker, I mean trucked that boy and then was like first.
E
Damn were you putting him at in the MVP conversation though?
C
So right now I think my short list is down. It changes every week.
B
Every week, homes.
C
Last week it was Dan, but right now, now it's, it's between Stafford and Josh Allen and then that's the first tier.
E
Josh Allen, Drake May.
B
I know Drake May.
C
Drake you saw last week. Drake May. We'll get to that. He played well.
A
Sam Darnold.
B
Sam Darnold. It's so many cats.
C
336 and 4 I think we're starting to enter that real discussions of not just whoever's playing hot. And you know how it is. It's not what you do in the first half of the season. It's. It's how you finish that November December ball. So you're right. Absolutely. Sam Darnold. So I'll put him on the short list too. But now I think Herbert. It depends how he finishes. There's like legit five people who could separate themselves and win this thing. The top six in odds right now is Josh Allen at plus 150, Drake May at plus 400, Mahomes at plus 450, Stafford at plus 550, Sam Darnold at plus 1200 and Justin Herbert at plus.
B
Perfect. That's a good list.
C
They all deserve.
B
That's a good list right there.
A
You know who needs to be on that list besides his last game? Jonathan Tate.
C
Taylor. Joe Flacco. No.
B
Jonathan Taylor.
E
Joe Flacco.
A
Joe Flacco.
C
Why?
E
I know why.
B
It's always really just quarterbacks.
A
That's what it's turned into, man. It's what it's turned to.
E
Offensive player, Jonathan Taylor.
C
Offensive player.
E
Jonathan Taylor's potential, I mean, it's not dead, but he was. He was setting up to start getting in that conversation for real. Because last week before that game where he didn't score a touchdown for us, we had him two plus in the parlay. He was on pace for 30 touchdowns for a season, which would have been the record.
B
The record.
A
The record.
C
Jonathan Taylor's 12th right now at +3512.
E
Yeah, a lot's got to happen. And even, even Danny Dimes was starting to get in the conversation. But then you throw three picks, it's five.
C
How many yards does he have right now?
A
One of those pictures on him, though.
C
Yeah. He's got to get over 2000. He's got to score 20 plus. Yeah.
A
In 2006, he won the MVP and he only. He had 26 touchdowns.
C
How many yards?
A
26 or 28. I can't remember.
B
I think he was shy of 2000.
A
But Jonathan Taylor, he was on pace for. For 30.
C
Yeah, he just.
A
The running back room.
C
We need to bet the boys again. They're back on. 895 yards with 12 touchdowns.
B
895 yards.
C
Offensive games.
B
Jesus Christ.
E
Yeah. Offensive player.
C
Nah, injury. Missed the game.
E
The way some of these quarterbacks are playing, like, statistically, like if you remove the names, it's the quarterback in Seattle, it's the quarterback for the Patriots. It Is who. Who. That's what I'm saying. If you remove the names, they statistically like said the quarterback for the Rams, like they're all playing better football.
A
They slowed down.
E
Yeah, Baker slowed down. Yeah, Baker slowed down, had a buy.
C
But he's going to bounce back.
A
I know this MVP race buy after also. It's going to be those four you said. You're right. If you take the names away and just look at the like. Like the Seattle's quarterback. Yeah, yeah. Patriots quarterback.
E
Because Drake may quarterback first in the.
C
AFC or NFC is most likely going to. It's going to come down to week 17, week 18, whatever it is, as far as who's going to separate truly earn those last couple votes to. To win the mvp. I believe so. There's. There's no clear front runner like you said. You take away those names, they're all just.
E
I don't see how it's.
A
There is a clear front runner. It always gets muddy like we're.
C
It's still Lamar last year with eight more weeks.
B
Who you say you was winning in the future.
C
Did. Did we pick one?
B
Yeah.
C
I said Lamar.
B
You said Lamar.
E
I can't even remember. Joe Burrow.
A
Okay. Yeah.
B
Oh, you don't remember? I say James.
A
Josh Allen.
C
Josh Allen. Yeah.
B
I'm really.
A
What'd you say?
E
Oh, I mean Joe Burrows.
B
Yeah.
C
I said Jalen Eagles can still win it.
B
Where is he? He's number eight. He's still in it.
C
Okay.
E
Hey, I don't see how you don't give the MVP to Drake May when the freaking Patriots win the AFC East.
A
With the numbers he's putting up and their coaches up for coach of the year.
B
Number two. He deserves it.
E
Shannon Stichen, VRA Shanahan. Yeah, those are the cats right now.
B
Rabel May pull out on top, though.

A
Can I ask you a question?
B
Yeah.
A
Who you got for the Eagles at Packers? Packers are favorite two and a half total points in the game is 44 and a half. Get the notes out.
B
I'm actually taking an under 44 and. Okay, I'm taking it under.
A
You got a hold of that top 17 gambler in Nashville, huh?
B
Yeah, I'm taking it under on this one. 44.
E
You got a feeling?
B
I got a great feeling.
A
I got a great.
B
Let me tell you, I got a great feeling.
C
I don't. I don't like your under. Listen, I think this packers loss was. It's just a terrible loss. And I think a lot of that stems from the fact that they are a very young roster. We saw this earlier. They. They show up like gangbusters against the Lions. The commanders, they drop on to Cleveland. Okay, 12 o' clock game. They got a really good defense. They show up against Pittsburgh. Jordan Love looks like an mvp. And then they drop the ball again to the Panthers. I think that falls on coaching, falls a little bit on Jordan Love.
E
Leadership.
C
Leadership. I'd like To. They need to be able to manage to. That's authentic.
H
Yeah.
B
You losing Tucker Craft, though.
C
Yeah, no, they lose. I. I agree. But that's only. They got another tight end. What's Buddy's name? Help me out. We don't know he was drafted before. Yeah, he's gonna have to Mercedes. But no, I just think like it was a bad loss for them, I think. I mean, you got to tip your hat to Carolina and how they played the game. Rico dowdle running for 130, just churning up clock. Not letting the offense on the field. Limiting the packers in the red zone to. Oh, and for. Excuse me. You know, the first four trips, six points in a missed field goal. Like they played as great of a game. You could play to play the Packers. It still was trash. I mean Bryce young threw for 100 yards. Rico obviously ran incredibly hard, made it dirty. He'll be my bet the boys parlay this week. But, but, but what are the packers always done after a letdown? They always get back and I think this is their get back. Is this a Monday.
A
Versus the Cowboys?
C
You're right, that was. But they still played well on offense.
B
Eagles off of Cowboys defense.
C
Hey, listen.
E
And trade too. Jalen Phillips. Jalen Phillips, bro.
C
Yeah. Yeah. Eagles didn't even play last week and somehow came out on top with all these losses. Moving up to the top of the nfc, increasing their distance in the NFC East. Now they're. They're playing for.
A
Well, the NFC east is over.
C
Yeah. They're playing for a number one, number two seed right now. So they have to be feeling good, especially with some of these trades. But I just, I like the pack. I like that atmosphere at night. I like them getting back. You know, I think LaFleur needs to just hand the keys over to Love and just let him do his thing. Like they want to run the ball. I understand that, but they. Josh Jacobs has not run for over 100 yards this year. He scored in five consecutive games. Something to think about here. But. But I just think you just gotta. You gotta. You gotta let Jordan Love do his.
A
Thing, you know, you're taking the Packers.
C
I'm taking the Packers. What's the Alexander revenge game?
E
Yup.
B
He on the Eagles right now. You know, cuz about to go.
C
Yeah. All right.
B
It's different squad though. The Eagles need.
E
But he's been like a healthy scratch all year.
C
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's been on.
B
Cause he different though. I don't think he fit in with the Ravens over there. He just.
E
But what I'm saying too, just to like game reps he's had all year. Like he's been a healthy scratch for a lot of the season. And going into the Eagles, not like he's just going to go off, like just be locking dudes down.
B
So. Yeah, I don't know. We'll see. I just think he playing the Packers. I think he playing the Pack. Oh, I'm taking under.
C
Under.
A
Oh, that's right.
D
My fault.
B
Yeah, I'm taking under.
A
I'm Packers, I'm Eagles. They win the bye week. Everybody else in the NFC east has lost. Going into the bye week. They did a much better. This is a Dan Orlofsky under center run game. Got a whole lot better. They had addition by subtraction with A.J. brown. A.J. might see that and be like, okay, listen, they could do it without me. You do a couple of the trades. I see this team now picking up, picking up steam. They're like, it's not worried about the NFC East. It's the first seed, it's the second seed. When it comes to the packers, like they're put together, they're one of the best rosters in the entire NFL and they drop an early one in the season to the Cleveland Browns, which to me it's like no one's ever going to go undefeated. Like you're one of the, you're one of the better teams in the NFL. You do that, they're going to have a massive get back versus the Cowboys. Yoda gets that horrendous defense. Their offense is what they're supposed to do. But their Defense also allows 40 points put up in them and they end up in a tie. And it's like, all right, I guess we'll just move on from that. The Micah Parsons, like Heat conversation has kind of slowed down. Then we get to the Panthers who just dropped the game like 40 to 7 or whatever it was, versus the Bills who also came up a buy. And I just think at this point it's like Bryce, Bryce Young is not giving you that many points. I don't understand like how from a leadership standpoint or coaching standpoint, like you have so many dogs. How are you not able to like recognize the mistake you made earlier in the season? And I think the Eagles, this, this bye week couldn't come at a better time. They started to figure it out offensively, especially being under center. The offensive line played much better last week. The addition, like Jordan love when he is not pressured. He's like a top five Quarterback in every statistic. When he is pressured, he's a bottom five quarterback. So I think adding Phillips is a key. Having a week and a bite of rest, getting the offensive line to play more consistently, being under center, all of those things equal.
B
I got the Eagles and losing Tiger Kraft.
C
Fuck.
E
You trust through the body of work throughout the year. You trust the Eagles offense more than you do the packers offense.
B
Definitely.
A
I would say I would trust the team more than I trust, but I'm saying offense. Yeah, but I think that's too much of a like the sample size itself. It's like, well, advance would be no, but if I look at the entire team and how like they don't really care about your feelings. They just keep winning. That's the Eagles and they had their fumble against the Giants, the Packers. It's like the whole fool me once thing. Like you lost to a really bad Cleveland Browns team that was already dubbed one of the worst teams in the NFL other than their defense. Then you go do it against a Panthers team who's not much better than the Browns. From a whole team getting a whole week to sit, rest, figure out some of these therapy sessions. Watching everybody else in the NFC east lose while you get to sit there while looking at your offense and being like, look at the step we took from a passing standpoint in the last two weeks run game, in the last game we played under center. I just think I feel much more confident about looking at the Eagles and the defending, the national, defending super bowl champs than I do at this packers team. It's like, you guys are great, but you need to do it consistently. That's where I sit.
B
I like it.

Is a New England Patriots traveling down to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Bucks favored two and a half in this game? The over under is 48 and a half. Drake May continues to elevate his MVP run. He had an off half second half last week, had an incredible first half. I think he threw for three touchdowns. He was right around 250 yards in the first half. I'm taking them to cover against or I'm taking them to beat upset. I'm taking Patriots money line, Patriots money line against the Buccaneers.
C
I like the Bucks. I like Baker Mayfield. They're coming off a bye week. We will see if Godwin comes back and Bucky Irvin. But yes, Drake May looked incredible in that first half once that sack caused fumble right before the at the end of the first half he kind of looked a little, you know, like he had happy feet in the pocket. I don't know what that that means but I think losing K Sean Booty. He's got a hamstring injury. Doesn't sound like he's going to play like who's going to step up at that wide receiver position and Kind of fill that void. I, I just see the Bucks with too much firepower coming off a bye week Mecca Buka is just. Tess Johnson's really stepped up. Like I, I just. And their defense too. The LA, they've held their last three opponents to 15 points per game. So it's not like it's just Baker's had to carry this team has had to carry the load for, for some time now with all these injuries. But I like, I like the Bucks. Here, give me the. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two and a half.
B
That was. Everything you said was good. It was great, man. But those Patriots.
E
Hey, tell them it don't matter. Booty shooty doesn't matter. This is the variable culture. This is next man up mentality.
C
Man up off the street, brother. They should have lost to the Falcons. What type of culture is that?
A
Falcons are the most interesting. Like Falcons are the greatest team in the world. Yeah, maybe they're the greatest team in the world. The Patriots have happen to be better.
B
Yeah, you never know what you're going to get with the Falcons any day they show up. They may not. But the Patriots and that Rabel culture, man, it's just you, he's the type of coach you sell out for. I, I, you know, he, he, he can be an asshole. Love that. But he, he makes you sometimes hate that, huh? I love it.
E
Yeah. I love it. Sometimes hate.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he know how to get guys fired up. I don't know what it is about Vrabel and getting guys to go out there and give it all he got. Even if it's a guy he just got off the street that week and put him in the lineup and that dude go out there and make plays and so he's able to go be on another team just because Vrabel inspired him to be great and he's inspiring me right now.
C
Well, listen, Brable's not going to be out there playing for him. But you know, Falcons might not show up every week, but you know who does? Baker Mayfield.
B
He does.
C
Probably gonna throw for like 400.
B
He does.
A
Hey, Will, who throws the Patriots?
C
I'm just trying.
E
Drake May. Does he or Sammy D. Either. They're both pretty.
B
Yeah, they pretty. They both pretty good.
A
Dude, I love the Patriots. I love the story of their season. They like, they kind of started, started off shaky. They've won what, six in a row now?
E
Yeah, it's six in a row.
A
They've won and they, yeah, they kind of get away with one against the Falcons. It goes it doesn't go their way in the second half, they still end up being able to pull it out. I love Drake May. I love his attitude. People are talking about MVP race when he's sitting there with the post game press conference, and everyone's like, everyone's talking about mvp. They're chanting mvp. And he's like, I'm just excited that our fans are excited. Like, he is handling the noise correctly. That team is handling noise. The culture of that team is absolutely incredible.
B
Incredible.
A
It's November.
D
Yes.
A
Weather's broke.
E
Yeah.
A
New England. It's a little frigid out there.
B
Yes, it is.
A
You get in the morning, you gotta sit there, you gotta put the defroster on a little bit because it's like 35 in that thing, right? You go down to Tampa, those are the worst games. It kind of shocks your system a little bit. I can't really breathe out here. Baker Mayfield is playing incredible. He's had all the injuries in the world, and one thing that stayed the same is he's a fucking gamer. He goes in the Houston game, gets hurt on a run. Guy standing over him, not for him. He stands his little ass up, dude starts getting his chest. They're getting a little healthier. They're coming off a buy. The last three games they do holding their opponents 15 points. I like the Buccaneers minus two and a half here. I like them. And it's not taking anything away from the Patriots. I just don't think you're going to win the rest of them. Right. And this is one of those games. I think this is a perfect game for them to drop. It's, you know, they're playing away. You got Baker Mayfield, you got that defense a little shaky in the second half of their last game. Like they're playing awesome football. We're going to get down and we're not going to know who the winner of the AFC east is until I think they play like January 4th is the Bills and the Patriots. I think that is going to be the decider of that. Of this. That division. But I think you got to drop one, and I think this is that one. So I'll take the Bucks minus two and a half. Bet the boys parlay.
E
Yeah, Bet the boys parlay.
B
Oh, you already went.
E
Yeah, I'm taking. I went Patriots money line.
B
Oh, yeah, that's right.
E
And the whole weather thing, that kind of got me second guessing.
B
Me too. Once he starts at the Wild. But you know what? We did it with Rabel. We went out there and smack cats in Tampa Florida, you know, everyone always says.
A
Everyone always says the Northeast and Nashville, Tennessee, same exact climate. Yeah, you're absolutely right, brother.
C
I'm telling you, when you go from Green Bay, Wisconsin, or even Tennessee for that matter, and it was like 17 degrees and you go play in 70, guys be getting IVs at halftime, falling out of the game. People think, oh, it's going to be great. You're going in this warm weather, it's. It's the worst. I'd rather go. I'd rather be Tampa. Going to play up in New England, cuz. Whatever. You just.
A
You.
C
You put some. You can't take warm skin. Yeah, you're good.
B
No, we was the IV mother pouch, dude. Me and him, we in line. Ivy, before the game, IV at halftime, we in line. Hey, pump that fast.
A
This is looking puffy after all that.
C
Saline in our body out there.
A
Like a little balloon. Violet, you're turning violet. Bet the boys probably like Jalen Hurts. Who was the number one team that wanted to ban the tush push?
E
That was the Green Bay Packers.
A
And it's probably going to get banned. However, they're going to get their ass one more time.
C
I mean, how Delaney, how poor is the officiating lately, Bro, they need to call us now. I mean, that tush push where. Who was it? Burns or Thibodeau? He took the ball away.
E
Just crazy.
C
Crazy horrible. But. But you think they're going to run it ad nauseam? They're going to run it 10 plus times.
E
Let's break the record. What was the game when they ran.
A
It five times in a. I think they're looking forward to running it.
B
Hey, but you gotta look at it. When they do the tush push, they have to move those judges. So the judges that's usually sitting over the linebacker in the middle of the line, he's not there anymore. And then the back judge, he gotta be too far back. Cause it's a push play. So they can't see anything. So we depending on the line judge that's sitting all the way on the edge to give us an offsides. They can't call it. It's like it's bang, bang.
C
Why did New York do it? New York jumps in and.
B
I know, I know.
C
At their own discretion. All right, Sorry, we got off topic. Yeah, yeah. No, yeah.
A
He's a tosh bush. He hates tough football.
C
I hate poor officiating silver spoon when he's a kid.
A
Guy, you know, I went all the way up to Gold Easy path guy.
C
Guy, who's never mowed. His grass before talking about silver spoon.
A
Arizona, kid. Arizona.
C
All right. All right. Delaney, who you got?
B
I'm going Gibbs, man.
E
I'm going.
B
Gibbs. And they playing in Canada against the Commanders. That's a for sure. Come on, Gibbs. Give it to me, baby.
E
Kamani Vidal.
A
That's the mayor of New York, right?
E
Something like that. I got him scoring a touchdown against the Steelers.
C
Mondani or something.
E
Yeah.
B
He's Muslim.
A
No, no, no. My name sounds similar. That's crazy. I kind of think they sound kind of similar.

E

D

E
He stepped in nice. He had a rough game last week. But you know. This a get back. This a get back. Just to get in the end zone. We need you in the end zone. I still need Pittsburgh to cover. Yeah, that's it.
C
Give me Rico Dowdle versus Saints. The Canalis. Finally. You know. What's the word when you move someone back? You were asking about this. Relegated. He moved Chuba Hubbard back. Rico's getting the Rock. Now he's RB one Hot hand.
B
Where's Rico from? Asheville. Is he. Yeah. Yeah. He went to the same high school as Caleb Presley. Dope. I don't give a fuck. I'll just message you.
E
I heard that was an addict joke. Why y' all think I'm about to.
A
Do dick where he's from? Are you just. You're on a show. You're just going to ask that? Like.
B
I thought he came off the street. I thought he came.
C
No. Rico was with Dallas. Right?
E
Yeah.
C
He was in Dallas. He had like a thousand yard. He played well. I think he was right under th.000 yards there. But he got over.
A
Where was he before?
C
Dallas.
B
That's what. Yeah.
A
University of South Carolina.
E
It always comes back to the game cost.
B

Spooktober is over and so is your season. It's done. This is the Eagles from here on out. Do I love it? No. Is it just what's going to happen? Yes. It's not personal, just business. You lose Camp Scatterboo, you lose Jaden Daniels, you lose to the Cardinals, it's over.
B

A
Zesty Buffalo sauce.
E
Underdog Steelers. I'm gonna say they're gonna get a win. Steelers remain at the top of the north and starts divvying up the conversation that the Ravens are gonna come back in the fold. Steelers go out to la, upset the Chargers.
C
Usc, who do they they got? Northwestern, Southwestern. Well, I think they play Oregon, so let's be realistic here. They, I think they win the remainder of their games. Sands Oregon. So three losses, I don't know where that puts them in the Big Ten. Probably not playing maybe in that large bid in the playoffs.
E
So you're saying something to chew on USC getting out. USC get knocked out of the playoffs?
C
No, no. Something to chew on. Possibly a 12 seed.
A
You gotta beat Oregon.
E
You're saying as a three loss team, you lose three games.
C
Yeah, but it's gonna see like you just, it's like name brand, you know what I'm saying? Like they don't, you know what I'm saying? I'm just, you know what I'm saying?
B

B
Is a McDonald's hot take double cheeseburger, no pickles. Add back sauce if you ain't had it, try. It's the best, bro.
