Ladies and gentlemen, it is week 18 of the NFL season. A lot of games don't matter at all. Today we will be talking playoff scenarios. Bengals, can they get in? Only time will tell. A lot of little dominoes have to fall for that to happen. Massive game in the NFC North. Vikings taking on the Lions. The winner of that game will get the one seed. The loser will get the five seed. A lot of implications there. A lot of upset alerts. We got some ballsy picks involved. Do us a favor, subscribe, unsubscribe or resubscribe. Hit a couple comments in there, too. And we have playoffs. Also, playoff season is here. So fan collins infobustinwtb.com little selfie video could be NFL. Well, college is about to be over, so just NFL parlays. Bing, bang, boom, find yourself on there. We're going to have a hell of a day. Delaney Walker is here. Will Compton is here. Let's have a hell of a show, boys.
Will Compton
Welcome to another episode of the Locker Room. The locker room is presented by Fireball Whiskey. So many things make football great, but you know what the best thing is? Kicking the living shit out of your rival. And there's absolutely no better feeling as an athlete or fan. And Fireball Whiskey is here to give you the spark to ignite that rivalry all season long. Grab your football buddy, buy a round, and reignite that rivalry flame.
Taylor Lewan
Boys, before the show started, we're having a fun talk.
Will Compton
We were?
Delaney Walker
Yeah, we were.
Taylor Lewan
Because I asked you as a. Hey, did you have. You have a thousand tackles? You laughed in my face and I was like, well. And you said, that's like having 100 tackles 10 seasons in a row, which is great math.
Will Compton
I appreciate the respect I really thought.
Taylor Lewan
I had for me. Yeah, for some reason, I thought like 10,000 tackles was a big deal.
Will Compton
Did you have a thousand? No, bro.
Taylor Lewan
We were also talking about just holding the football in your hand and how awkward it is.
Will Compton
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
And you were saying you never sniffed the end zone.
Will Compton
Yeah. My thought is, I never sniffed the end zone because I would get tackled. But in your head, you were saying, like, if you pick the ball off, you have an opportunity to score. And in your head, like, the. The one I remember is when I picked off Kellen Moore against the Cowboys, and I returned, I think hall of Fame.
Taylor Lewan
Kellen Moore.
Will Compton
Yeah, yeah.
Delaney Walker
Who tackled you? That's the key.
Will Compton
But I remember getting on Keenan Robinson after because he's, like, waving to me to come back to the middle of the field. He could have blocked, old boy.
Delaney Walker
Oh, yeah, yeah. He doing this.
Will Compton
He's like, bro, put your hands on somebody. I'm trying to get in the end zone.
Delaney Walker
I hate that.
Will Compton
But, yeah. And then Delaney's. He's joking us because he's like, defensive players always look so awkward.
Taylor Lewan
So awkward.
Will Compton
It's like, bro, we never stumble in, never carrying the ball, don't know how.
Delaney Walker
To juke, Know the other joke. But then run to the end zone.
Taylor Lewan
Relax. They hold that ball like DeAndre Hopkins.
Delaney Walker
He know.
Taylor Lewan
He doesn't give a. Yeah.
Delaney Walker
He'd be like this.
Taylor Lewan
I know. And you watch and you're like, man, he's gonna have better ball security. But then you think about it, like, the few times in my life that I have at the ball in my hand, it feels so. I feel scared. I'm worried. I feel uncomfortable. For DeAndre Hopkins to be running around the field with the ball in his hand like, that is Sean McCoy was like that. He didn't have it.
Will Compton
Yes.
Taylor Lewan
Oh, yeah.
Delaney Walker
Oh, my go will. He will put it up here and shake you.
Will Compton
Coaches would say like, he's a fumbler. He just doesn't know it yet and still never fumbles.
Delaney Walker
Oh, yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Hit the ball and doesn't know it yet.
Will Compton
But the confidence you got to have just having the football in your hand. Because on the NFL level, too, like, everybody's coming out.
Delaney Walker
Everybody's coming. Everybody.
Taylor Lewan
The whole punching at the ball thing, how do you not hurt your wrist?
Delaney Walker
I know they be hitting me in the helmet. I'm like, I know that hurt. I know that hurt.
Taylor Lewan
But they don't. Dudes that go in there and, like, perfectly, like, time that thing up.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Is incredible.
Will Compton
Peanut punch. The peanut punch.
Delaney Walker
The peanut punch.
Taylor Lewan
We were playing Houston in Houston one time, and Derek was going off. And who's that? The skinny linebacker 41.
Delaney Walker
We had him on our team.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, Cunningham. Cunningham. He's getting blocked by Roger Saffold. And he's coming through the line. And he spins, spins out and hits the ball out perfectly.
Will Compton
Gets the ball on the ground.
Taylor Lewan
It was incredible.
Delaney Walker
That happens all the time.
Taylor Lewan
There comes.
Will Compton
Not that one. Not the backhand spin.
Taylor Lewan
Not the back.
Delaney Walker
But it was because he thought he was blocked. So when you. When you think someone blocked, you kind of. You don't think about that person and do. That's when the ball game.
Will Compton
Did you ever carry like this?
Delaney Walker
Oh, yeah.
Will Compton
No.
Taylor Lewan
Delaney was high tight.
Delaney Walker
I was high tight.
Taylor Lewan
But Delaney, they bring him up in the.
Will Compton
He trying to.
Taylor Lewan
You see, they have the coaches.
Will Compton
Oh, yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Oh, yeah, they have the coaches. Hey, Delaney, show them how Delaney has the best ball security in the league. Go and show him five points of contact. Show me Delaney.
Will Compton
He just stand up and hold it.
Taylor Lewan
You see that? Can't get it out there. They pull it on a little bit. And Delaney just fucking flexed the whole time. All right, Glenn, go ahead and sit down.
Delaney Walker
Well, I used to hate when they wrapped me up. I used to be like, clean the fucking pal, because, like, I'll be in the pound. They be. And bro, your hands start hurting because you be holding the ball. Somebody you start catching cramps. And I'm in the pile and they all taking out. I used to get up, hey, clean that up. Taylor was good at it. Until they start calling penalties, like just. I don't care if you hit me. Knock. I don't want to fumble a missile rock. That used to be a thing.
Taylor Lewan
I love diving head first in the piles. Always paid for it at the end.
Delaney Walker
I'll see you. Coming. I start leaving.
Will Compton
Isn't that when you and Kirk Herbstreet had some beef?
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, because we played the Raiders.
Will Compton
And was that on a pile or was that just you going after.
Delaney Walker
It was a pile.
Taylor Lewan
It was a pile. What's funny about that play? No, no, no, no. So we were. It was like the second. First or second game of the season at home.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Against the red 2016. And I don't know who caught the ball, but it was one that Andre Johnson, he ended up catching and they called him for a push off, but there was like this big scrum and one. It might have been you even, but, like, kind of getting held up. And me and Ben are running and we hit and me and Ben hit and Ben hits the pile. I miss. I hit demarco Murray and, like, kind of. He cussed him.
Will Compton
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
And he's like, he was, like, wobbly a little bit after. And they call a flag on me, and I didn't even hit anybody else. And that's when Kirk Herbstreet sent that tweet.
Will Compton
He had a tweet. What was the tweet?
Taylor Lewan
I don't know.
Will Compton
But you being a dirty player, I don't want to.
Taylor Lewan
I don't want to bring it up, because Kirk has caught a lot of the last couple of weeks, and I'm team Kirk.
Will Compton
I am.
Taylor Lewan
I'm team Kirk.
Will Compton
So was Kirk right about the tweet? No, no, I remember it.
Taylor Lewan
That was a thing that was like. That wasn't. I don't know why we started doing that, but it was really like, that's gonna be our arcade. We're gonna hit every single pile.
Delaney Walker
Hit every pile.
Taylor Lewan
So me and Ben really did that a lot. And Kirk was like. I was like a fake tough guy that was always with me. There's the fake tough guy comments, but.
Delaney Walker
That'S what we was.
Taylor Lewan
They always were like, this guy, Bill O'Brien. Ben came over. Anybody who came over from Texas would be like, yeah, Bill. Be like, you just got to get in this guy's head. He's a fake tough guy. Like, he'll fold. He'll fold. I'm thinking, I don't do that, do I? In my head.
Will Compton
Paul Gunther for the Raiders. He said that, too, on the breakdown.
Taylor Lewan
Did he?
Delaney Walker
About Taylor?
Will Compton
Yeah. I'm just sitting back there grinning.
Taylor Lewan
Hey, you know what they said about too when we put the Raiders? They said about Max Crosby.
Will Compton
Oh, really?
Taylor Lewan
This guy's a fake tough guy. He's gonna talk, but he doesn't. He's not gonna do.
Will Compton
Yeah, that's like the statement. I'll be sitting there talking. You're always on the other side.
Delaney Walker
Look at this, not me. I'm sitting there like he about to smack. They tripping. Coacho. He a fake tough guy. I done watched him play all week. Nah, that motherfucker ain't fake.
Taylor Lewan
Keep it real, right?
Delaney Walker
He talk a lot, but you get.
Taylor Lewan
The guys like Luke Keakley when you play the Panthers and you're like, listen, here's the deal. You block him, you're going to get yards. Oh, you don't block him, you're not going to get any yards.
Delaney Walker
He ain't going to say nothing.
Will Compton
I was the same with Z.
Taylor Lewan
Same thing with Cunningham.
Will Compton
41. Just block 41.
Taylor Lewan
Literally. Let all the guys go. Block 41, you'll get yards.
Will Compton
And old buddy from the Colts, the linebacker, who is Darius Leonard, Darius Leonard?
Delaney Walker
Yeah. Now him, Shaq Leonard.
Will Compton
Darius change his name back to Shaq Leonard. Right?
Delaney Walker
Did he?
Will Compton
I think he went to Shaq Leonard.
Taylor Lewan
He kind of just disappeared him and Cunningham. Because when we got like contract situation got rid of him, Cunningham had a situation too where he was like not really like doing all like he was like being late and stuff like that. And Texans want to leave him, but when he came to the Titans, we're like, bro, we are going to be so fucking good. He really didn't do nothing for us.
Will Compton
And he got paid.
Delaney Walker
It was, I think it was the.
Taylor Lewan
And he's a Vanderbilt kid too. It was the defensive crazy.
Delaney Walker
Yeah. I think he didn't like the defensive scheme. He was in here.
Taylor Lewan
Here's what's fucked up about Cunningham is he was so tall and lanky. You don't think this guy's going to hit like he's going to dip around and he would, he would back. Back door you. All these types of things when you're trying to block him. But if you squared him up, bro, he would you up. Yeah.
Delaney Walker
He'll bull rush your ass.
Taylor Lewan
You would go up on like to, to the linebacker level.
Will Compton
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
He'd be standing there like, oh, I'm about to smack this kid. Then all of a sudden, like he had the ability. Some linebackers just have the ability. They'll be standing there and they can still like kind of give it to you without even doing nothing.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, yeah. Because he didn't turn his shoulders. I love the ones who turn their shoulder because I just get skinny. You get skinny?
Taylor Lewan
Yes.
Delaney Walker
Got you.
Will Compton
Guys like Cunningham and Shaq Leonard, they had the long arms.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
They knuckle dragging, dude.
Delaney Walker
Push you in.
Taylor Lewan
Yes.
Delaney Walker
I hate it.
Taylor Lewan
Fingertips.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, I hate those.
Will Compton
Those guys who could like make dive board tackles.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah.
Will Compton
Kind of be outside their body and just reach. And Darius Leonard would just get the ball out.
Taylor Lewan
Just crazy.
Delaney Walker
But you gotta pancake them. If you. Once he start reaching, you was good at that. Soon as they start reaching. Taylor used to just dump them. I try to get them sometimes, but that dirty to me. So I like. Taylor can do that dirty shit. I can't do that.
Taylor Lewan
But yeah, dump is dirty. It's just.
Will Compton
Cause like Taylor can do that dirty.
Delaney Walker
Because literally you put your helmet right into. They stern like bam. You know, they go down.
Will Compton
It's a man's game.
Taylor Lewan
It's a man's game.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, that's true.
Taylor Lewan
You see the Arkansas. I don't know if it's a defensive lineman or an offensive line, but he was number 55 and they were playing in their bowl game. He stepped on that kid's ankle.
Will Compton
Oh, yeah, I've seen that.
Taylor Lewan
To me last night. And she's like, can you believe that? Like, what would you do?
Delaney Walker
And I go, honey, you used to do that.
Taylor Lewan
That might have. That probably was me.
Will Compton
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
You did definitely type of stuff.
Taylor Lewan
Intentional. Took a lot of violence to become this calm boy.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Onwards.
Delaney Walker
You definitely did shit like that.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, I was a playoff scenario. Playoff scenarios.
Will Compton
You got the paper, you want to run.
Taylor Lewan
And it's always. You know what the thing is? It's like. It's always me who starts to sewer myself. Like, I could easily avoid this. Yeah.
Will Compton
Once you open up the jar, it's.
Delaney Walker
Like, all right, yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah. Let's find out what else.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, let's see how fun you did that.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, but dumping guys, though. That's not dirty.
Delaney Walker
That's not dirty. You finish it.
Will Compton
But like.
Delaney Walker
But damn.
Taylor Lewan
When you were a 49er, you probably. You probably.
Delaney Walker
I did 49er. I was. I was tough on block, but when I got to the Titans, it was more like I just. When they start reaching, I just push them.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
You know what I mean?
Taylor Lewan
And you also, like. And you also stopped caring about blocking.
Delaney Walker
No, no, I didn't stop caring.
Taylor Lewan
No. Once you realize you were a passing threat, you're like, oh, this is way better.
Will Compton
Once you realize he's a passing threat.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
He saw.
Taylor Lewan
He got paid. He got paid that receiver time.
Delaney Walker
No, you get. You get hurt in the pile ups.
Taylor Lewan
All right.
Delaney Walker
Hey, I gotta take the asset. I gotta suit up next week. That's 30 bands.
Taylor Lewan
There is nothing worse. There's nothing worse than, like, going to get on a block and the ball's behind you and you just get kind of, like, stalemated. Yeah, Please, God.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Don't get tackled in the back.
Delaney Walker
No. That's why I love having Derek. But you wasn't here when we had Chris Johnson. If you got stalemated, it didn't matter. He gone. I used to love him. I used to get jacked. Oh, he gone. I'll be holding him up. Like, I got pushed back seven yards.
Taylor Lewan
I got pushed back seven yards. Playoff scenarios. You want to talk AFC or NFC first, Paul.
Will Compton
Whichever's on that paper.
Taylor Lewan
Well, first is afc. Baltimore Ravens. Pretty clean cut here. They gotta win. And if they lose, they need Pittsburgh to lose against Cincinnati to clinch the division. Clinch the division.
Delaney Walker
Clinch it. Yes.
Taylor Lewan
Clinch the division. The Bengals are the juiciest thing. We talked a little bit on the podcast yesterday. They Gotta win this week versus Pittsburgh. They gotta win. And Denver has to lose against Kansas City, who's sitting a bunch of guys. And Miami also has to lose versus the Jets. The thing that's crazy. Obviously the fates out in their hands, but if they get into the playoffs, that might be the most dangerous team in the playoffs.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, they got an opportunity.
Will Compton
They'll be the team that everybody's watching.
Taylor Lewan
Like, they'll be the team everyone's low key, afraid of.
Delaney Walker
Well, they got, they got opportunity. Miami quarterback not playing. Kansas City quarterback not playing. You got. I mean, you need Kansas City, you.
Taylor Lewan
Need him to play quarterback. Is also Patrick Mahomes for those of you watching who don't live under a rock.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, so I just look at it now. I looked at that wrong. Denver needs to lose. So damn, that may be tough right now.
Will Compton
They're favored by nine and a half points. We'll obviously get into that or I think it's eight and a half now.
Delaney Walker
But yeah, that's going to be tough.
Taylor Lewan
Dolphins are in a tricky situation too because they need Denver to lose against Kansas City as well. And they need to win versus the Jets.
Will Compton
So Miami's in the exact same situation as the Bengals, but they don't need, they don't need anything from the Bengals. They just need a win and then Denver to lose.
Taylor Lewan
Yes, yes, yes. Because there's tiebreakers all around.
Delaney Walker
Yep.
Taylor Lewan
And I don't think, I mean, I look at those teams you look at like Miami Broncos and Cincinnati. If you're in the. If you're in the AFC and you're looking at these three teams, the team you don't want to see is the Cincinnati Bengals. They're a team that refuses to die. Joe Burrow throws for 420 yards. Last game, three touchdowns.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Guy's insane. Yeah, he's going. He's the epitome of the most valuable player. He's taking a bad team and putting on his shoulders and saying, we're gonna. Hey, we're still gonna try to go to the playoffs.
Will Compton
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah.
Will Compton
He does still have Jamar Chase and T. Higgins.
Taylor Lewan
No doubt.
Will Compton
He's got insane.
Delaney Walker
He's gonna sieve for a defense 131, three tubs.
Will Compton
They went after our boy Riley Moss killed him. Group chat was blowing up. Hey, cop, you see your boy out here?
Delaney Walker
Come on.
Will Compton
Riley. He just came back from a back injury.
Delaney Walker
I know. Yeah, that's why you go at him.
Will Compton
Back tight.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, he's back tight.
Will Compton
Yeah, back tight.
Taylor Lewan
With that being said, game of the week, will you Want to go first?
Will Compton
The nfc.
Delaney Walker
Oh, backside.
Will Compton
You want to hand me the sheet?
Taylor Lewan
I know it's two sided. All right.
Will Compton
We got the Atlanta Falcons. How the Atlanta Falcons can clinch the NFC South. They need a win versus Tampa Bay. They need a win plus a Tampa Bay loss versus New Orleans. For Tampa Bay, how they can clinch the nfc. How the NFC South. You need a win or tie or Atlanta to lose or tie versus Carolina. And then you got the final matchup, which is the Detroit Lions and the Vikings, which we will get into. They're fighting for the number one seed in home field advantage. Whoever wins gets the one seed in home field advantage. And whoever loses would drop to the fifth seed.
Delaney Walker
Wow.
Will Compton
That's the playoff scenario.
Taylor Lewan
Atlanta's or Tampa Bay is sitting in a good spot. Yeah, Tampa Bay sitting.
Will Compton
And they, they really bounced back after that abysmal performance versus Dallas. And I'm so pissed off that I ended up going Panthers last week.
Taylor Lewan
That is them though. The, the Bucks kind of do that where they have this like roller coaster type of vibe where they, they play games. You're like super bowl contenders. Baker Mayfield, we're literally in, I think weaker, four or five. We're like, Kate could be an MVP guy.
Will Compton
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
And then they go down for a couple games and they come back up for a couple games that, that I don't. When it goes, when it comes to playoff, you have obviously consistency matter. Win the rest of them. You can't have up and down games from a team perspective. So, I mean, I'll be stoked for them if they make the playoffs. Love Baker Mayfield. Love, love his personality. Goes to Cleveland, has a bad, has a bad deal there, bounces around a little bit, finds a home in Tampa Bay, gives himself a $100 million contract. So I love it for him. But from winning a Super bowl standpoint, I don't know about that.
Will Compton
I mean, everybody, once you get in the tournament, it's everybody's game. Everybody's game.
Delaney Walker
They're week to week.
Will Compton
All right, games of the week this week. Should we kick off Chiefs and Broncos?
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, we can go Chiefs and Broncos.
Will Compton
Chiefs and Broncos. You got Chiefs at the Broncos. Broncos favored by eight and a half points. The over under on this game is 39 and a half. This is Taylor's pick of the week.
Taylor Lewan
This is my pick of the week. And I bounce back and forth because I think the Chiefs are going to cover. Yesterday was at minus ten. Now it's at eight and a half. I think the Chiefs cover this game. They have a lot of Talent all over the place. They're going to sit guys, they're going to sit Patrick Mahomes, they're going to sit Travis Kelsey, they're going to sit Chris Jones. But Noah Gray, decent tight end and the backup quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs is Carson Wentz. Like, we forget that this guy was an MVP caliber type cat. He's a Super bowl champion. Obviously he tore his ACL before the super bowl, but this is a dude that. There are players that have done podcasts saying this guy does not listen to coaches. So even if there is some whispers of like, hey, we don't need this one, this one really doesn't matter to us if that conversation would never happen in the franchise. He's going to go out there and show some teams, you know, show 31 other teams. I can still do this. DeAndre Hopkins will probably sit a little bit. But this is a game and you and I were talking about this before the show. Kansas City, when they've been in situations where they sit guys, they're two and two in those games. You're sitting your star guys. They're going for a three peat. You know, it's an in conference game, it's an in division game. I can see Kansas City pulling this one off and winning it to help the Bengals get in. But I definitely think the Kansas City Chiefs are going to cover this game. They're definitely. I believe they'll cover. Their defense is strong. Xavier Worthy's going to play. Yeah. Kareem Hunt and Pacheco, both those guys are going to be in the backfield. Hollywood Brown, he had that collarbone on September 14th. He's now played for the last couple of weeks. They're going to keep him motoring and going, so there's going to be talent on the field. And then that DC for Kansas City is their gem right now.
Will Compton
Spags.
Taylor Lewan
Spags. I like it. I like Kansas City covering and I feel a little bit about them winning. I feel some type of way about them winning.
Delaney Walker
I mean, I wouldn't put it past them.
Will Compton
This is what I'm staying away from. But I have the Broncos winning in the Chiefs covering. I'm probably not going to bet this game, but at the end of the day, the Broncos have to have this game. If they can't go in and beat a Kansas City Chiefs team without Mahomes. They should have beat them the first time, but they got their field goal blocked.
Taylor Lewan
Right?
Will Compton
But they have to win this game again like they've had every opportunity to clinch a playoff spot within the last couple of weeks and they've dropped them. They have to to win this game.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah. And you bring that. They had to win one. They had to not lose their. Their last three games and they've lost the last two. Momentum's a big thing. Chargers momentum is a big thing. When it's good, it's great. When it's bad, buddy, you better hold on and stop the bleeding.
Delaney Walker
Really bad.
Taylor Lewan
They have a chance to make it right.
Will Compton
What's your pick, D?
Delaney Walker
Man, I think. Damn, this is just a tough one right here, man. I think the Chiefs cover.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, I think the Chiefs cover.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think the Chiefs cover.
Taylor Lewan
Chiefs cover. Chiefs cover. Good defense. Strong defense. Under game, too.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Under nine and a half points. Still in. Under who?
Delaney Walker
The quarterback for the Chiefs right now.
Will Compton
It'S gonna be wince. Oh, yeah, yeah. What's your game of the week?
Delaney Walker
My game of the week is going to be the Giants at the Eagles. And you know, you look at it, the Eagles already, they clinch. But you know, Berkeley is on a. Berkeley Barkley, he's on his. He's on a. A landmark to break. Walter Payton's records ain't been broke since 1984. This is something that he can do. And I think it's going to last forever and decades going on for the Eagles organization if he break this record. So, you know, you look at it, you think guys are going to sit, but I don't think that's going to happen. I think guys want to see this man get that record. And they came out and said, you got guys like AJ Brown, Lane Johnson saying that they want to see him break this record and they all want to be a part of that moment. So these guys, I think these guys are going to play. This is going to be an easy game for the Eagles if they come out and play their game. Obviously they beat the Giants. Well, October 20th, they beat the Giants 28 to 3. That was victorious. They always pounce, those dudes. For decades they've been beating them, boys. Fifteen wins against the. Four wins against the Giants saying that the Eagles won 15 times over the decade. Giants only won four. This is another game. Giants is in shamble. The Eagles can come out and play a great game. Don't sit your starters because I feel like they start late. If these guys can come out and keep that performance going and going into the playoffs fresh, that'll help them. They got a quarterback that's hurt. I think he got a concussion, but he gonna come back from that concussion sitting out one more week. Getting to the playoffs, that's going to help him come out there and be, be explosive against in the playoffs, whoever they got to play and see, too. So I'm going with the Giants to take this game. I think that.
Will Compton
Going with the Giants, I mean, I'm.
Delaney Walker
Going with the Eagles.
Taylor Lewan
Sorry.
Will Compton
All right, I also need another 30 seconds. I miss the record.
Delaney Walker
No, no, I was looking. I looked at this.
Will Compton
Eric Dickerson.
Delaney Walker
Yes.
Will Compton
Yeah, Eric Dickerson. And I, I honestly, I love that Eric Dickerson does not want him to get the record. And he's public.
Taylor Lewan
Wait, did he say that he's rooting.
Will Compton
Against Saquon to not get it?
Delaney Walker
Yeah, I mean, you only need 101 yards.
Will Compton
No, I don't want him to break my record.
Taylor Lewan
Right. And that's back when they played less, less games than they did.
Will Compton
You think so?
Delaney Walker
That's us, bro.
Will Compton
Think about this. If you're Eric Dickerson, you're watching. Say you're watching the league now. And all these guys make so much money. Like they didn't make close to what these guys are making now. So Eric Dickerson is a single season rushing record holder. The king.
Delaney Walker
For decades. For decades.
Will Compton
Paid appearances.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Will Compton
Be the single season rushing record. Saquon gets his record, he's going to hurt his money.
Delaney Walker
No, he's still.
Will Compton
He don't want.
Delaney Walker
He don't want him to get Eric Dickinson.
Will Compton
No doubt. But he's still a few years out here. If Saquon gets it, when Saquon retires.
Delaney Walker
It'S going to be Saquon Barkley, both of them.
Will Compton
I love, I love the competition right now.
Taylor Lewan
Walking into places being like the single season rushing record king is here.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
But Saquon gets 102 yards. You're going to be like the guy who's second place is now here.
Delaney Walker
They'll never say that, bro.
Will Compton
Yeah, they will, bro.
Delaney Walker
No, they won't.
Will Compton
This next generation won't even know who Eric Dickerson is.
Taylor Lewan
True.
Delaney Walker
As long as the face masks or made, they're going to know who Eric Dickerson is. Eric Dickerson face mask is famous.
Will Compton
You say these kids playing Fortnite's gonna know who Eric Dickerson is.
Delaney Walker
These kids that's playing Pop Warner know where Eric. Little kids be like, I want an Eric Dickerson. They already know what the face mask is.
Taylor Lewan
What the fuck are you talking about? No, I never heard a kid go, I want the Eric Dickerson.
Delaney Walker
He had Eric Dickerson, didn't you?
Taylor Lewan
Will is 35.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, that's Eric Dickerson.
Will Compton
No, bro.
Delaney Walker
Yes, it is.
Will Compton
I called it the Eddie George or the Sanders.
Delaney Walker
Deion Sanders.
Will Compton
Eddie George Rock.
Delaney Walker
I promise you I never said Eric Dickerson.
Will Compton
When I was one of my Irishman in the rjfl, I never said Eric Dickerson. It was prime time and it was Eddie George.
Taylor Lewan
Delaney. Delaney.
Delaney Walker
Who is Eddie? George wore.
Will Compton
He wore like a. Eddie was the man.
Delaney Walker
But he wore like a face mask like that. Like Walter Page.
Will Compton
No, he didn't.
Delaney Walker
He didn't have a. He didn't.
Will Compton
He had the two ball running back. He had the two ball running back.
Delaney Walker
We have to see it.
Taylor Lewan
Thank God there's the Internet to prove that.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, we have to see. Eric Dickerson started that face mask though.
Taylor Lewan
Who is the second in single season rushing right now? All time.
Delaney Walker
Walter Payton.
Will Compton
The all time list.
Delaney Walker
Walter Payton. Bo Jackson.
Taylor Lewan
No, exactly. You don't.
Delaney Walker
You don't know.
Taylor Lewan
Exactly.
Delaney Walker
That's what I'm saying.
Will Compton
Looking around. Ain't nobody here to help.
Taylor Lewan
Just saying names. Just saying names.
Delaney Walker
I said a great running back.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, saying great running back.
Will Compton
Barry Sanders.
Delaney Walker
Barry Sanders. Yeah.
Will Compton
Emmett Smith.
Delaney Walker
Do any of you know who it is? Is it Marshall fault?
Will Compton
No, not Jim Brown.
Delaney Walker
Who is he? Hang on, hang on.
Will Compton
Give me a minute.
Taylor Lewan
I'm not gonna know.
Will Compton
We're talking about O.J. simpson.
Delaney Walker
The single season rushing record. Is that what. Yeah.
Will Compton
Eric Dickerson, number two.
Delaney Walker
Number two. You're not. No, you're in the wrong generation.
Will Compton
Derek Henry.
Delaney Walker
No, no, wrong generation. This is like what, 1930? No, this is Emma Smith. 15 years.
Taylor Lewan
Adrian Peterson.
Delaney Walker
Yeah. Oh, good job. We was naming dogs though.
Taylor Lewan
What's that?
Delaney Walker
He finished with 2098 yards. Damn, bro.
Taylor Lewan
In 2001.
Will Compton
06.
Taylor Lewan
Right.
Delaney Walker
He was a monster until he got hurt.
Will Compton
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
Once he got hurt.
Taylor Lewan
God damn, bro.
Delaney Walker
Damn.
Taylor Lewan
I know, but he. AP is the epitome of the acl. Anytime someone tears an acl, you're like bro. Be like ap. He came back.
Delaney Walker
He came back with an mp, right? Yeah. Mvp. He was a dog.
Taylor Lewan
Crazy.
Delaney Walker
He was a dog.
Will Compton
I'm with you on the Eagles though. Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
They didn't.
Will Compton
Let's see him break the record in the first half.
Delaney Walker
I want to see him break the record.
Taylor Lewan
He's got. I feel like.
Will Compton
And the spreads three. And let's see Tanner McKee. Even if he has to go out there. Let's see him win a start. Let's see him get his first start.
Delaney Walker
I think they're going to hand it off. Hand it off. And then they're going to get the record and they're going to sit all the starters.
Taylor Lewan
Watch. They could Nothing's bigger than the team and the aspirations of a Super Bowl. And he's got to get close in the first. He's going to have, like, 40, 50 yards in the first quarter.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, he's got it.
Taylor Lewan
He's got to. You got to get motoring.
Delaney Walker
I mean, it's a giant.
Taylor Lewan
If I'm the head coach of the Eagles, I'm sitting there being like, brother, I want you to have this record, but I also want a Super Bowl. So I need you to get this as fast as possible and get the fuck out.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Because if you get one guy, Lane Johnson, you get him rolled up.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
And now he's out for the first game because you're not getting a bye. No, he's out for the first game.
Delaney Walker
They playing right away.
Taylor Lewan
You're in a tough spot.
Delaney Walker
He want to play, though. He.
Taylor Lewan
I know they want to play, but sometimes you got to save the player from themselves. Yeah, I know you weren't like that, but a lot of guys were.
Delaney Walker
But imagine being on. Imagine being on that team where that guy set that season, right? You. You going to always be that on that lineman that helped him set that record. Like, you going to be talked about, too. You may get appearances, too, with him just to show up. We're going to get you because you was out here blowing shit up.
Taylor Lewan
Ladies and gentlemen, someone who helped get the single season roaster record, please welcome. Nobody. You don't get appearances, like, hey, she's a big white guy.
Delaney Walker
I was there. Hey, I was there. I helped. I blocked.
Taylor Lewan
That's something you, like. Sit down with your boys. 20 years from now, one of your guys is like, hey, you know, so and so, help Saquon Barclay get the single season rush record back. Crazy year, man. It was awesome. Ups and downs.
Delaney Walker
No, it'd be like, kids gonna be.
Will Compton
Like, man, how do I get out of this conversation? Yeah, exactly.
Delaney Walker
That'd be like, all half the whole line. Got hall of Fame running back. That one old lineman didn't make it.
Taylor Lewan
Because he only played like, Lane Johnson gonna make it?
Delaney Walker
No, he gonna make it. Yeah, I'm not talking about Lane. I'm talking about just who. The. Who. Who's the slap?
Will Compton
Jurgens.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, Jurgen's a beast, though. That entire offensive line room, even. Not the guys that aren't the starters. They want this probably more than Saquon wants it. This is something you want forever.
Delaney Walker
You want that?
Taylor Lewan
Yes.
Delaney Walker
I'm sure that's a tag you can always have.
Taylor Lewan
When Derek got 2,000 yards, I only played the first five games. I'm like, I helped Derek get that 2,000 yards.
Delaney Walker
You helped?
Taylor Lewan
Yes, absolutely. Which he had like 600.
Delaney Walker
And I'm sure he brought you some 80%, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah.
Taylor Lewan
2K chains.
Delaney Walker
That's what I'm saying.
Will Compton
Got my safe in that little video game.
Taylor Lewan
Oh, yeah, the arcade.
Will Compton
The arcade.
Taylor Lewan
We put some miles on that game.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, you see?
Will Compton
All right, my pick of the week. I'm going Bengals. I think everybody wants to see the Bengals.
Taylor Lewan
I love it.
Will Compton
Look, Steelers. I feel like the Steelers are playing. They're in the mentality. They haven't scored a touchdown, I think, in the last six games. They haven't scored one time in the first quarter in the last six games. So they're starting slow. If you watch them, they've only had two field goals in two different games in their last six. They're playing. To me, it looks like they have the mentality that when they don't get something going in those first two series, they're starting to say, like, here we go again. They're kind of limping into the playoffs. Whereas the Bengals, they had that playoff mentality. They were 4, 8. They've won the last four in a row. The defense is a big question mark for them, but they're playing well enough to win. I'm taking the Bengals. And again, Russell Wilson, he's only in the last four games, he's averaged 170 yards throwing the ball. Like, I think the Steelers are struggling, and I hate to see it because they were rolling there for a second, but they're going to be a team that's kind of limping into the playoffs. Everybody's going to be calling for Tomlin's head. I think the Bengals get this one. I'm taking them minus one and a half against the Steelers at Pittsburgh.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, I like that.
Taylor Lewan
I love it.
Delaney Walker
It's going to be a battle.
Will Compton
It's going to be a battle because, again, it's like, Tomlin, he's a dog at home again, like they are. They're having those conversations this week to where they got to look at themselves in the mirror and figure out, hey, what type of team do we want to be as we go into the playoffs and you got a hot Joe B. Coming in.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, a hot job.
Will Compton
Every player. You know, there's not a lot of conversation, like, being had outside of the meetings because everybody knows, like, hey, we've got to lock our in or we're about to be one and done in the playoffs.
Delaney Walker
I mean, it's going to Add up. It's going to all come down to Joe. Literally. He's got to take this game and run with it. He's going to have to make those plays he's been making. It's going to come down to him to get this in.
Will Compton
Like, if you're on the Steelers, it's going to come down to Russ facilitating the ball. Hey, and your Russ.
Delaney Walker
I'd rather put Fields in. I'll put Fields in if I was the coach. We have better opportunity to win.
Will Compton
All right, Delaney.
Taylor Lewan
We'd have a better opportunity to win, Russ.
Will Compton
Yeah, but don't to me, don't overthink.
Taylor Lewan
Russ on the show. Who, us?
Delaney Walker
We have after he balled out, but now he.
Taylor Lewan
Now two couple weeks have gone by. Now you're ready to take it back, throw interceptions.
Delaney Walker
Just throwing shit up. Yeah. Put feels back in.
Will Compton
Since they played the Bengals when he had that 400 yards, he really hasn't done a whole lot.
Delaney Walker
He haven't done a whole lot.
Will Compton
That's in a tough spot, man.
Delaney Walker
I'm telling you.
Will Compton
But as far as betting, do not overthink Joby vs Russell Wilson as of late. You got to go with the hot hand.
Delaney Walker
Right. I'm going Bengals for sure.
Taylor Lewan
And I think it's an over game, too. I mean, Joe's gonna have to put up a lot of points and the Steelers are gonna try to keep up the best they can.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, I don't think they gonna put a lot of points up, though. I think Joey the is Joey Will for sure.
Taylor Lewan
He's got. Dude. He is a man on a mission after their overtime win. And him going up the tee. Higgins, that look he gave him and whatever he said to him, it's like, bro, this guy is truly putting on a mission for this entire franchise.
Will Compton
Oh, yeah. They need other things to happen again. They need the Broncos to lose and Miami to lose, which is gonna be hard.
Delaney Walker
Hard.
Will Compton
But at the end of the day, it's like, hey, control. We can control. If this is our last game, we're going out on the sword.
Taylor Lewan
We're going to get in these. These ballsy picks, and you're going to see that we're very pro. Joe Burrow in the show today.
Will Compton
Yes. Yes. Ballsy picks brought to us by Fireball. Fireball, the ballsy pro pick of the week sponsored by Fireball. And Fireball is the perfect shot for game day. Whether you're buying those sneaky little shoes before going into the stadium or going big with the Fireball keg for your tailgate, whether it's a pregame shot in the tailgate lot or a celebratory touchdown shot at the bar. No matter what, it is guaranteed to ignite your game day. Taylor, do you want to kick off the first ballsy pick of the week?
Taylor Lewan
Ballsy pick of the week is going to be Dolphins at Jets. This is a Delaney Walker ballsy pick because the line's only at one and a half. Jets are underdogs by one and a half. The reason why I'm picking this game is Aaron Rodgers last week versus the Buffalo Bills. They get, they get destroyed. It really wasn't as bad as you think it is. The game was in reach. It was a two score game until 5 minutes and 13 seconds left in the third quarter when Aaron Rodgers throws a bad, bad interception. He had two interceptions in those games. One was tipped. Jordan Phillips picks that thing off. But Aaron Rodgers looks at the coaches, hey, let's put the backup in. When it was like 330 at one point. Not a great look right before.
Will Compton
Wait, wait.
Delaney Walker
He literally told the coach but the.
Will Compton
He said it on the McAfee Show. Yeah, he said on the Mac.
Taylor Lewan
It's a terrible look. It's a bad, It's a bad look.
Will Compton
Who's the bad, who's the backup?
Taylor Lewan
Tyrod.
Will Compton
Yeah, he's like, hey, we thinking Tyrod Taylor here? 33 nothing. Then Bill scored again, made it 40 to not nothing. But yeah, Aaron did.
Delaney Walker
He did say that. I only saw the press conference where they was like, if he come back, I don't want to be here.
Taylor Lewan
If this was any other quarterback, if this is any other quarterback for any other team, I would think, okay, there's no shot they're going to win this game. But Aaron Rodgers has prided himself since 2020, since the whole vaccination thing of becoming kind of like the villain of the NFL.
Delaney Walker
Oh, yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Doing things the way he wants to do it and still somehow being successful. The jets season has been anything but successful this year. But they're playing a team that's in their division. That team they're playing has playoff hopes. This is the perfect scenario for Aaron Rodgers to be the villain. Their defense isn't bad. I mean, their top five in yards per game, they're top five in passing defense and their top 10 in total yards. So it is. Their defense is solid. Aaron Rodgers has not been great this year. He's had some, he's had some really good games and other ones has just fallen by the wayside like this past week. I like Aaron Rodgers being a villain.
Will Compton
This week I saw a tweet too, to where it was like, aaron Rodgers on the jets is, like, banging your high school Crush that's now 40 with two kids.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah.
Delaney Walker
Worse Be the worst, bruh. That dude is the worst villain ever, bruh. I just.
Taylor Lewan
I like him.
Will Compton
Who? Bro, you gotta see his documentary on Netflix.
Delaney Walker
What, the parents is true with his brother? No, I watched a little bit of it. I don't. I don't like that family talk. That kind of made me mad in his situation that his family kind of.
Will Compton
Went out in the reality show.
Delaney Walker
Yeah. Having the two open seats and didn't even invite him.
Taylor Lewan
What happened?
Will Compton
You have to watch it. Oh, you got to watch. You got to watch.
Taylor Lewan
Is this the. His show?
Will Compton
The documentary.
Delaney Walker
The documentary on him and his fam.
Taylor Lewan
I have to watch that.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Will Compton
Yeah, yeah. We got to do a vlog, and it's hit an ayahuasca trip.
Taylor Lewan
I would love to do a vlog. That would be crazy. Could you imagine JP filming us on ayahuasca? That would be nuts.
Delaney Walker
I don't even want to see y'all on that. I don't know what the hell he be taking, bro.
Taylor Lewan
I heard Ayahuasca. Like, some people do it, and they're, like, different forever. He completely changes them chemically.
Delaney Walker
Look at him. He's different from forever. He ain't gonna never be the same. Yeah, but if he's happy, is he happy? Is he happy? He going dark places. He gotta go to retreats and fucking sit in the dark for days.
Taylor Lewan
Yes, dude, that's happy.
Will Compton
Hey, I feel you watch the show, too, and you see Jordan Poirier, and he's just on the side beating this little drum, humming. I'm like. I mean, is that the route we want to go?
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, man. Sometimes you gotta open up your mind. True serial adversity. You gotta extend yourself further than you want to. You have to be comfortable being on.
Delaney Walker
If he wasn't rich, he may be suicidal.
Taylor Lewan
Will you. You know, Aaron, you could.
Will Compton
Like that. You could have some demons in there that you just don't know about.
Delaney Walker
I definitely have demons.
Taylor Lewan
No doubt.
Delaney Walker
But those demons is.
Will Compton
You figured out a way to control.
Taylor Lewan
But there's always, like, in the Brian Callan dude, there's always somebody knocking in the back of that door saying, hey, I'm here.
Delaney Walker
No, true.
Taylor Lewan
That small piece of anxiety you have.
Delaney Walker
Sometimes he be there. I'd be like, go away, Gus.
Taylor Lewan
Don't get me in trouble. He said some Mike Tyson, give me the jets. Give me the jets. Give me the Jets.
Will Compton
I want the Jets. Just because I want to see this Bengals scenario. I want to see the Bengals.
Delaney Walker
I'm going to follow suit with y'all. I want to see what the Bengals can do in the playoffs for sure.
Will Compton
I'm taking the Vikings battle for the 1 seed Minnesota Vikings at the Detroit Lions. Right now the Lions are favored by two and a half. The over under on this game is 50. I'm going Vikings. Look, the Lions, they're going to score. They've scored all year long. The big question mark for them has been the defense because they have so many injuries. When you look at their IR list on D line, you got Hutch, McNeil, Wingo, linebackers, all of them, Rodriguez, Anzalone, Barnes. They still got Jack Campbell out there. He's putting his face on people. But you got, you got the backup, Trevor Nowski out of Sigonal Valley state, undrafted in 2023. He plays well. He's an undrafted cat. Of course I love him. Do I think he can handle Aaron Jones out of the backfield? Do I think he can handle DJ Hawkinson? My heart says yes, but my mind says no. I think no matter what, the Vikings are going to come to play. They're so efficient on offense. You see Justin Jefferson even when routes, even when plays are breaking down. The speed that this man has and the effort that he shows to continue to get open. And then you have who else you got? Addison.
Delaney Walker
Addison.
Will Compton
I mentioned Aaron Jones, C.J.
Delaney Walker
Atkinson, Jalen Naylor.
Will Compton
Jalen Naylor. Like these boys are playing at a high level. Sam Donald, the way that they've embraced him. You see him coming in the locker room and everybody's fired up. They're doing beer celebrations and everything else.
Taylor Lewan
The video, Kevin O'Connell just sitting back watching guys shoulders being like, look at the culture I've created.
Will Compton
It's awesome. And it's two of those cultures going at it for the one seed. Like the Lions have the same, exact same culture and they're both battling for the one seed. Loser goes to five seed. But Kevin O'Connell in one score games, he is in, he is in a group of 25 game minimum one score games. Guy Chamberlain went 22 7, John Madden went 40 and 14. And Kevin O'Connell is now 24 9. He's 81 this year in one possession games. He's going to be the coach of the year. I like the Vikings, man. I like the Vikings winning this game. I like the Vikings as my ballsy pick.
Taylor Lewan
Who was the one they lost to? Ayden. Well, he said, they're eight one this year and one scorecake.
Will Compton
I think it was the Lions.
Delaney Walker
The Lions.
Taylor Lewan
Give me the Lions.
Will Compton
I think it was the Lions.
Taylor Lewan
And the Lions was healthier in Detroit. They have a lot of guys in IR. Little sneaky, little sneaky speed guy coming off IR. Actually, Khalif Raymond.
Will Compton
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
He's been in that 21 day window. They were thinking about getting him back in San Francisco. They said, let's hold the boy back.
Delaney Walker
Hold him back.
Taylor Lewan
Love, Clee Freeman.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
You wanna talk about a guy that probably does ayahuasca trips. You walk into his locker, there's crystals everywhere, everywhere. That dude's got the fingers up. He's doing the meditation. He's sitting there crisscross applesauce locker, getting ready to go. And then runs for 60 yards, catches one of the end zone. 20, 20, 19 versus the Ravens. I love the Lions. Dan Campbell sits in a press conference. He goes. And they go, hey, why don't you arrest guys for this game? He goes, this is what we do. This is how we operate. This is the team. We are all of Detroit will be at this game. If they're not in the stadium, they'll be surrounding the stadium.
Delaney Walker
Oh, they're gonna have TV everywhere.
Taylor Lewan
It'll be an insane environment. That entire. What was it? It was a factory right before. That place will be shaking. It will have the decibel reading, will be top five of all time. It is going to be an environment like no one's ever seen. Vikings lose a close one before in October when they played the Lions. Unfortunately, they lose a close one again, they become the 5 seed. I can't wait to see them play again.
Delaney Walker
It only makes it tough because it's a short week and they had a tough game against the 49ers yesterday. Coming back to win that game was incredible. But I got to go with the Lions. I just think that all around team of destiny. Yeah, they.
Will Compton
Yeah, they got a squad.
Delaney Walker
They got a squad.
Will Compton
They're both what, 14 and 2. What's up?
Delaney Walker
Yeah, the hook and ladder.
Will Compton
Ben Johnson is in his bag, bro.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, he really.
Will Compton
The Bears don't get.
Delaney Walker
Second time. They scored on that. Second time, bro. They scored on the Bears.
Will Compton
Don't get Ben Johnson or Rabel. The Bears are fumbling the bag.
Delaney Walker
You think, you think Rabel will go to the Bears?
Will Compton
I don't think.
Taylor Lewan
I think. I think. I don't think Caleb Williams and Mike Vrabel is a tough combination. Yeah, that's a tough.
Will Compton
Bears have to be doing it with Ben Johnson.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Will Compton
And just again, like the organization overall, the people that they brought in, how much they failed. Like, it seems like a brutal organization to be a part of. Part of me doesn't feel like Verbal even goes into something like that.
Delaney Walker
Well, Ed. John Robinson, he went and interviewed for the GM job. So I don't think those two guys, if he gets the GM Job at. With the Browns, I don't think with the Bears. I mean, I don't think Brable goes there even.
Will Compton
Because you don't think J. Robin Bray.
Delaney Walker
Mixed after what happened with the AJ Trade? No, I just don't think AJ Was.
Taylor Lewan
The beat at the end.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, I think that broke they whole little chemistry right there.
Will Compton
Yeah. It depends on who would have control on making those final decisions.
Delaney Walker
You think J. Rob, But I'm saying J.
Will Compton
Rob probably had those call. J. Rob.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, he had those calls.
Will Compton
I'm saying if Rabel. If they mesh. Variable would have like 51, 49.
Delaney Walker
I think it's 51. J. Rob. 49. Variable.
Taylor Lewan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Will Compton
Both of them probably thinking that. Yeah, both of them.
Delaney Walker
Oh, both of them want that. You're right. On the. On the bus, Jon Gruden said the Bears is a spicy little situation. He might. He might throw his hat in the fire. Oh, this morning, really?
Will Compton
John Gruden. One other guy. It wasn't Ben Johnson. Maybe Liam Cohen from the Bucks. He's had a hell of a year as an oc. Gruden would be good because that's a. That's an offensive mind. That's a quarterback style.
Delaney Walker
But wait, what about his deal with Barstool Can. He will have to break his contract if he come and be a coach.
Will Compton
Yeah, yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Should he be able to work through that? I'm sorry. I'm gonna go be a head coach for an NFL football game.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
You sure?
Will Compton
Yeah. Dave's like, not in this language. Language. Yeah. No trade clause.
Delaney Walker
Yeah.
Taylor Lewan
Right here with the NFL still.
Will Compton
He ain't going.
Taylor Lewan
He's. This is not the year. He's not going to the Bears. It'd be sick. It would be sick. But this is not the year.
Delaney Walker
No, it is ain't the year if you're the Bears.
Taylor Lewan
Give me the lines.
Will Compton
You have to go after somebody offensive minded.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, I gotta go.
Will Compton
I don't know how we got.
Taylor Lewan
When are we gonna find a world where there's an OC who's so dominant like Ben Johnson is, that just says, I want to be an OC And I'm good with not being the head. Head coach. Of a team because if he stays with the Lions, they could be awesome forever.
Will Compton
Yeah. I think it just depends. Like he made that decision last year. Like there wasn't a job that he wanted to go take, so he stayed at home with Detroit. But I feel like everybody who is an oc, anybody in the coaching world, everybody wants to kind of climb and be the head man always with Nebraska. JP Knows what I'm talking about.
Delaney Walker
What?
Will Compton
All right, who else do we have? Who's your ballsy pick, D?
Delaney Walker
My ballsy pick? My ballsy pick is going to be the Seahawks versus the Rams. And the reason why I'm going to make this pick, you got to remember the Rams, is they possibly going to be a third round seed. They clinched already the NFC West. They possibly going to be a third round, third seed in the playoffs. McVay came out on Monday, yesterday on his show and said that he's going to sit all his starters like he did in 2017 and 2023. He feel that's the best bet to get those guys rested to get to the playoffs. And then the Seahawks, they've been eliminated. So right now they got to get that get back. They gonna play all day. Starters, they've been eliminated despite their favorite two point in their Week 18 match against the Rams. Playing in a division of rival wrestling starters provide Seattle with an opportunity to win this game.
Taylor Lewan
Had to double back on that.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to double back.
Will Compton
Computer programming.
Taylor Lewan
You had to reset the teleprompter?
Delaney Walker
Yeah, I had to refresh.
Will Compton
So Rams are facing Seattle this week.
Taylor Lewan
Even though the Rams are sitting all their starters from 17 and 16. Let's see.
Delaney Walker

We're going after trying to hit more than one.
Will Compton
Yeah, but we haven't. We. We've stuck to like old reliables all year long and we haven't hit.
Delaney Walker
We don't hit.
Taylor Lewan
No, because we had four or five weeks, we were like, hey, I know we haven't hit one yet, but let's get rid of all reliables.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, I know we did that. For some reason I'm like, okay.
Taylor Lewan
We just. We went from being over to like now let's put a. Let's put a of a handicap on where we can't do at all. I get it. Hey, I get it.
Will Compton
But if we hit, give me a quarterback. Lamar Jackson ain't got a touchdown.
Taylor Lewan
I like that.

Patrick Mahomes doesn't run like Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz is a psychopath.

Evan here. I got time today if you're looking for that New Year's resolution. I want to throw this parlay in.
Delaney Walker
Here we go.
D
Giants coming to Philly. Give me Saquon Barkley anytime. Touchdown. He's currently 100 yards short of Eric Dickerson's record. You already know Saquon. He's going to be on demon time. He wants it, especially against the Giants. Serrani will keep feeding him the ball and he'll end up in the end zone. Next we got Bill's at New England. Josh Allen still making his push to mvp. Does he deserve it? I'll let you decide. I feel like Josh Allen's gonna light up the score. Give me the over 38 points. Next we got Chiefs at Denver. You might be thinking Chiefs are gonna be sitting guys out. Denver, you got Bo Nix. They're looking good, right? No, I think the Chiefs are gonna win. Give me Chiefs moneyline. Chiefs guys, chief guys on the bench. They want it just as bad as those starters. Carson Wentz. Let's go.
Will Compton
I don't mind it. I like that parlay.
Taylor Lewan
I like it. That's actually Chiefs moneyline move.
Delaney Walker
It's a good parlay.
Will Compton
Season two betting on like, you know, Saquon won the rushing record. Get him anytime. Touchdown. Josh Allen fighting for the mvp. Give me the over of them in New England.
Delaney Walker
Yeah, I like that parlay. That's not gonna be a high.
Taylor Lewan
Good work, Evan.
Delaney Walker
Well, they saw the money line right now.
Will Compton
Broncos are favorable.
Delaney Walker
Well, oh, yeah, with the money line, that'll help. The money line will help.
Taylor Lewan
