Speaker 2 (00:27):
Let's give this.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Oh what is going on?
Happy Monday to you. We wish you a pleasant Labor day.
We are broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios
and Jeff, you know, licking my wounds today as a
diehard Notre Dame fan. Tough loss from the Irish. But
to help me feel better, Oreo is in the building, Jeff.
(00:53):
She was just meowing at the door the neighborhood cat.
Oreo is here for the final hour of the show.
Very excited about that, feel bad about last night already.
With Oreo being here, we.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Leave my dog at a friend's house when we go
out of town and they have the same situation where
joy is the neighborhood cat and the joy just comes
to their house and basically lives. Yeah, same situation you
were in, except you your cat's Oreole but has no white.
It's just all black. That that I need, I need,
(01:24):
I need a rule on that one.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I guess it's, you know, the kind of like the
alternate think about like the alternate NFL jerseys. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I guess you have like the alternate Oreo flavors where
it's just you know, like, uh, you know you have
like dark chocolate. Yeah, so that's kind of Oreo because
it's Oreo thing right there.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, fair enough, Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, your tiniest patch of white on No, there is
totally black, no touch of white.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You don't know who oreos owner is. Our friends know
that the cat is next door.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, we know where she lives because my girlfriend had
a conversation with somebody else. Apparently Oreo makes the rounds
like from like unit to unit in this apartment complex,
so she'll she'll visit other places and maybe the other
place's feeder as well. But there was a guy who
he said, oh yeah, she comes over and visits me
(02:24):
as well.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And you feel jealous.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
No, No, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Okay, it's funny too because we bought her, like the
scratch pad. She's tearing up the scratch pad right now,
which is good. You know, she's got to get it
out of her system. Do you just try to make
your house the best so that you know she wants
to come there at any other house, like you have
the wet food out for her, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, no,
it's uh, we just try to make it comfortable for her.
(02:50):
I'm not in competition with the other people. We just
love Oreo. She's amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So you thought about getting your own cat?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
No? No, I would love to adopt Oreo. But I
don't know how to go about that conversation other than like, hey,
we've nicknamed your cat another name, and can we just
keep her too. That sounds pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But what if you go to their house and you're like, hi,
we have called your cat Orio and they're like, actually,
cat's name is Kathy, right, Like that would ruin That
would ruin you if we found out that the cat's
real name and it was just like some some just
like what what that that's the name of the cat.
It would that would that would crush your soul.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Brian, It really wouldn't, because I guarantee you, whatever the
real name is, i'd be like, oh, Oreo is way better.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It would be better. But like it would be funny
if it was again like some like a human name.
I love. I love animals with human names. Yeah. I
had a funny who had a great day name named Larry,
and it was just like you imagine a great a
full grown great day named Larry. Right, be your best friend.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
No, it's an awesome name. Yeah, get off the couch.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah exactly. Yeah. My dog's name is oh that was
his name. That was what his name from the farms.
I mean, it's a good name. I love Foe like
it's not Larry.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It grew on you because I knew you were thinking
about changing it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, we were thinking about its foes. It's just it's
like whatever man who cares in the end, that's he would.
He came from this Germany. He probably don't even know
his name when we got him, so we could have
just made it whatever we wanted to, but we just
we kept the Foe and we're fine with it.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
That's cool. That works, very nice. Before we get to
the Super Bowl odds with the major twist. Yes, just
a minute on the Irish if you will. I'm curious
what you thought, because as an ex offensive lineman, right,
former offensive lineman, I know you watch the battle in
the trenches very closely. And there you go. It's my ringtone.
(04:44):
By the way, I thought I was getting a phone call.
I thought I didn't silence my phone for a second there,
you know, But.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Gee, do I not like organ enough? It's not my
ringtone is not the organ Ducts fight song.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Your text tone is Jeff Schwartz Oregon. Like, that's what
it says everything. It's like your Sunday night in trove
it so much. Yeah, that's what it says when it
when I get a text from you. But I could
switch it to the Notre Dame fight song if you won.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
No, No, I hope. I wish it was like Jeff
Schwartz wnba something wnba, like another layup missed right there?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, right, we could make something like that happen for sure,
But man, Notre Dame. No pass rush at all in
the first half. They got it cranked up, provided a
little more heat in the second half, nothing to speak of.
In the first half, and then the final drive when
Notre Dame was down by a field goal, they just
their offensive line was a turnstile. It was brutal. I
(05:40):
don't know what got into Carter Davis, this Miami kicker
who is not good, Like he just booted a forty
seven yarder to give him a lead in the final minute.
It was like, where did that come from? This freaking guy?
I thought his first field goal was very shaky, and
then he stepped up and just drilled it. That was
a great kick by him. Pressure situation, and then Notre
(06:01):
Dame z old lines has forgot to block at the end.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
There college triggers man no explain that this is the
thing about college sports, right that I think that that
just there are people that say all the time, I
like walking college sports better than than pro sports, and
the reasons they give are just are ludicrous. But the
reason why is what makes college sports so unique is
that it is played by you know, eighteen to twenty
(06:26):
two year olds, and there is so much unpredictability in
college sports and so much chaos, and to be honest,
it's like kind of poorly played at times. Yeah, that
that is what we love about college sports is the
chaos and then predictability. Professional sports is pretty predictable. I
could tell you pretty much. I think how we're going
(06:49):
to have games on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. This will
be Sunday and Saturday. But Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday. Yeah,
I feel pretty comfortablebout what we're going to see from
most of the teams. So you know there'll be some
some surprises, some some poor plays every now and then,
but like we know we're getting from the NFL, right,
every game is between three hours and three hours and
ten minutes, sort of played the same same formations, same idea,
(07:10):
same concepts. College football, man, it is unique because everything's different.
Team a team, play to play, kicker to kicker, right,
like one kick is just like atrocious, the next one
is right down the middle. You never know. Like that
to me is what is why we talk about college
sports because it's so unpredictable. And you see that from
play to play quarter court, Like how many times in
(07:32):
college football it's just a team can't move the ball
for three courts and then just has three drives over
this score, Like you're like, what what it happened with
your name, mystery, couldn't move the ball, couldn't move the ball,
come to move the ball, blown coverage, sixty five yard pass,
tie game, and it's just you just don't get that
as much in the NFL or the NBA or or
(07:55):
Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You got a little bit of that with Georgia Tech
against Colorado right where they had three turnovers right away
and then all of a sudden, you look up and
they're running the ball down Colorado's throat. They rush for
three hundred and twenty yards. Yeah, you're like, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
All right, yeah, and you go minus three and turnovers.
In the NFL, you're not game wrap. Yeah, especially on
the road, and Colorado is just is I'm on in
Colorado fade this year. I just don't like what their
personnel right now. I don't think that. And Georgia Tech,
would you Georgia starts the game with By the way,
Georgia I had three turnovers that were that were just
(08:30):
unforced airs by Colorado. It wasn't like Colorado's forcing the
fumbles that they fumbled exchange in exchange and they fumbled
a snap and an interception on a tip pass, and
you got I think I got seven points out of that.
That was it. You're like, oh boy, I bet Georgia
Tech pretty hard. As soon as that happened, I got
pretty lucky. Haynes Kin actually just gone down there and
(08:51):
not trying to score at the end.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, yeah, you do. He thought about it. You could
tell he kind of slowed up a little bit. And
here I'm just going.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I'm going to get that when you were when the
game is tied, you go for the touchdown.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yeah. I don't have a problem with it at all. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Also when I Georgia duck Manus four, I appreciated the
effort to score there at the end as well.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
The only thing is if you could if you went down,
you know, it's like say inside the five and you
can run the entire clock out and just kick a
chip shot field goal. I get that. I can understand.
It's just you know, going down and going for the three,
because even in college, that should be a layup. That
(09:33):
should be you know.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It should be a layup. I'm with you. There would
d n have used any time out stop the clock
probably not right. They roll over to next week if
you don't use them. Is that that's what I heard?
Five five next week in the first half. Is that
how that works?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You gotta you gotta use a couple of Look, obviously.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I think Organ does things the right way. I'm an
Organ Duck fan, of course. But I was talking to
some of the coaches. For those who missed, I was
in Organ this past weekend. It was so much fun.
Thank you Organ for for being so generous, uh and
hooking us up with a bunch of stuff. They're they're
just the best. Dan lanne is is We're gonna win
a championship one day. It's gonna be with him. It's
(10:17):
gonna happen eventually. But I was talking to one of
the coaches, like they have a guy who's just like
analytics guy, like he's in he. I was talking Tom,
he's just like in the coaches. Here, everything that is planned,
like plays before, right, here's what we're doing here. Here,
here's a thought process. Okay, oh see here's the plan. Right,
it's third and seven, we're going for a fourth down. Uh,
(10:38):
call plays according with Like all this stuff is sort
of set up right, And that's the way most programs
at the top are run. You have to have a plan.
No when to call timeouts, no one to know what
to do this and that, and it feels like Dion
and this I said earlier. I thought Dian would be
better prepared for situations and Brandy's not. It's three years
running now, same problems game management. You have these timeouts,
(11:02):
you have to use them. You should have used it
after the the the and you have a new quarterback,
by the way, who's not been in the system before,
who have not done a two minute drow before. You
have to be able to do these things to have success,
and they just they're not preparing those moments, and that
those moments are what wins and loses you games. And
your quarterback ran sideways for like twelve seconds together, right,
(11:25):
stuff like that. We're just that should have been practiced.
You know what a personal grap of mind to about
two minute drill. So at the end of games, obviously
you're you know, you're called two minute drill, right two
minutes left trying to make a play. I think should
coach your quarterback Brian all the time to never take
a completion under under it basically like seven yards.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
You know, I think I'm glad you said that because
I think you should coach your receivers if you're gonna
catch the ball and get yeah, just don't catch it.
It's a two year two yard gain and you're going
down immediately. Don't catch it. He shouldn't have thrown it
to you. So it's partially on the quarterback, but I
think the receiver's got to bail their quarterback out sometimes
(12:05):
where it's like you're not gonna be able to get
out of bounds, You're not gonna be able to get
away from the defender. You're just gonna cost us time.
This is not good in any way. It's way better
to drop it.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And I think that that's not that's not Thoughts has
not done enough, but the game management to mean, let's
look for Belichick tonight. I think Belichick can still coach.
I do. I'm not sure he can pick the players,
which is this sports about picking up? I mean, he's
alex quarterback tonight is from South Alabama. I don't feel
great about that for his success tonight. But I do
(12:36):
think he can still coach. And that's what I'm really
curious about tonight. It's like game management. Game management situations
is like do we come away like because Matt Patricchip,
by the way, who's like, oh, it was the DC
for Ohio State. I think had a great game here.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It's this great job, awesome job.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And I was a little surprised because I think it's
really difficult to make that to make that jump from
from you know, from the NFL the college when you've
never done college before. He's never done college before, and
so Belichick tonight, like game management always been a positive
in New England. How's it in college?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, I'll say two things real fast. The first thing
with Matt Patricia, I'm very glad you brought him up.
That was again another trendy thing that didn't make sense.
It was very trendy to be like, oh man, Ohio
State went from Jim Knowles to this hack named Matt Patricia.
And it's like I compared to him. I said, he's
the nickelback of coaching right now. You know, Jeff is
(13:29):
just fashionable to talk trash and say this guy's the worst,
this band's the worst, YadA YadA. And if you really
walk through Matt Patricia his resume, he was a good
defensive coordinator coordinator who won three Super Bowls with the Patriots. Okay,
he was a good DC in the NFL. And then
he became a head coach and it was a disaster
(13:50):
with the Lions. And then somehow he's calling offensive plays
with the page ridiculous. That was absurd, But okay, fine
bash him for that. But as a defensive coordinator, he's fine,
and he proved that against Texas, had a great defensive
game plan, did an awesome job disguising coverages. If we're
giving Brian Flores all this credit as the Vikings defensive coordinator,
(14:12):
as we should, we should give love to Patricia. He's
disguising looks, he's changing it up. He's giving you one
picture pre snap and one picture post snap. He did
a fantastic job. I didn't buy that. It was it
was so fashionable to bash, you know, the hire of
Matt Patricia's if he wasn't gonna be good on the
college level when he was good in the NFL. It
(14:34):
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I think for me, the thing that that I was
interested is just with new coordinators, I always just sort
of take a step back and evaluate, like whether I'm
gonna put my money on those guys or like I
just think that that's fair to do. Be like, you know,
we sure, and it's gonna first scheme. Looks it work out.
It worked out well.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
He was great, It worked great. And one thing I'll
say real fast is going back to your Dion Andrews point.
I think it's one thing to mess something up, and
it's another thing to justify what you messed up. It
makes me think of the Chicago Bears. Remember last year
was at the Thanksgiving game where I can't remember which
(15:15):
game it was at Detroit, but their clock management was
a disaster at.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The right like it was.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
It was that they ran out of time completely. It
was awful, and after the game, Matt Eberflus was like, no,
it's what we're going for. That's the kind of what
we wanted to do. And it's like, dude, are you
serious right now? You can't just on me. It starts
with me, starts with me. But Deon Sanders that was
(15:47):
bad clock management. And there were clips afterward where he's like, well,
you know, we thought we were getting out of bounds
and we thought he's just justifying it. It's like no, no, no, no,
that's even worse. Just say, hey, listen, it's got to
be better. Like, I don't expect any coach to be perfect,
any team to be perfect, any player to be perfect.
But as soon as you start justifying, like I thought
(16:10):
it was a great idea to throw it in a
triple coverage on that, they're like, no, that's a mistake.
Like just just own the mistake instead of trying to
justify it. It makes it way worse.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I also think when you when you have these continual mistakes,
to then not take ownership of it, it's it's kind
of the issue that I that I see right where
you know, we all make mistakes. We accept the mistakes
are going to be made. Yeah, but Dealons have this
problem for three years now where he just game managed
situations are not great. I mean, and this is what
(16:41):
I was most interested to see about this year, is
like Shradure and and Travis Hunter made up for a
lot of coaching mistakes and they're not there anymore. Right,
it's not it So it's not it's not the same.
Their quarterback now is just not it's not it's not Sudeur,
he's not Travis. Travis is not there to make up
(17:02):
for the mistakes. And so that to me is what
I was looking forward to seeing with with Colorado, and
I think I'm on the right side here. With with
how I feel about them this season, and I'm curious
to see obviously how this season goes. I will say, though,
Dion ever ever the showman to get that that that
essentially portable urinal sponsored by depends like what brilliant job, buddy,
(17:24):
Like absolutely brilliant lead into it. Obviously, you know, we're
glad that he's he's much healthier now, but what what
I mean just a brilliant And it looks all these
little portable pop up medical tents are sponsored obviously by
by the you know in heire Charlotte, like atriam Health
right is my wife's company. But they they do, you know,
(17:45):
they do at least uncc right. The pop up ten
would say Atriom Health on it, right, like that's what
it would say. His pop up ten for himself says depends.
It's like it's so good, lean into it, be honest
about it. Maybe it helps someone out there that you're
honest about it. But just like I loved it so
much due that he just went full like steam ahead
with with with you know, bleeding into obviously having a
(18:08):
new bladder.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yeah, no doubt, I thought that was great as well.
And uh, listen, I love Deon Sanders. He's great for
college football, but hey, man, if you make a mistake,
he would own it as a player, you know what
I mean? Like, that's the weird thing. I don't understand
how Deon Sanders, the what do you what.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Do you own it as a player? I think I
don't think you ever made any mistakes though that's probably
never made a lot of mistakes.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Not making like dramatic mistakes like that. But that's what
I don't understand, is you know, just it's just move on, no.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Doubt he's not. And so that's okay. Just I think
people like ownership of mistakes and sports obviously in real
life as well, and we just want some times, ye know,
it's it's me, it's me, talk with the problem, starts with.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Me, starts on the problem absolutely, all right, Uh, coming
up next week, get to the Super Bowl odds with
a major twist. Okay, these aren't as common conversation about
Super Bowl odds as a major curveball. Come in your
way right around the corner. He's Jeff Schwartz, I'm Brian No.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
I know that that Deren studio. I believe the morning
guys right together. Yeah if we did like a webcam
of us three on the weekends.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
See when I'm at home and I have things in
front of me like screens, I am just like I'm
eighty d d out. I just have like film running
football highlights YouTube, I'm just like watching something the entire time.
I think it would be a terrible watch now. In person, obviously,
it's much different studio, Like I like doing a radio
(21:14):
person is a rarity for me and just don't get
to do it very often. It's like so much fun
because you're just with the person. It's a lot different.
Like if we're in studio, you're like you're locked in
the person you're working with, right yeah, yeah, But it
feels like even when we're on YouTube on Sundays. I
know they're only putting up I mean on Zoom one,
I know, the only putting up like three segments we do.
So I'm my best in those three segments obviously, But
I feel like a show of us on YouTube on
(21:35):
the weekends would be rather interested be crack just like
looking at his screen making wagers. It would be Oreo
interrupting you. And it just me just like my eyes
darting all over the place looking at all the things
I'm looking at the same time, like I've I've watched
them film this morning, I've done something, I've done some
research on teams ready for week two. Like I'm I'm
just like I'm all over the place. Mentally, I can
still talk obviously cleary, clearly, but I know that I
(21:58):
know there are radio hosts that are very much like me,
where they're just like constantly have to look at something
the entire time. Some just lok in if they get
one interruption, they can't deal with it. I work from home,
like I got kids like about to pop on my
door anytime of the day. You never know when my
daughter's going to walk in and ask me, like, hey,
can you order me sushi? I'm like Darling, I'm on
the radio. It's four thirty in the afternoon. I'm literally
(22:19):
working right now. I cannot like when I'm on camera too,
They'll walk in and just start talking to me. I'm like,
do you see that I'm working right now? Just no
regard Brian whatsoever. You have to work through those things.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Sometimes, Oh absolutely, I might make it better, you know,
it might be more entertaining that way. It's not your
standard radio show where you know, any moment, some family
member can ask for sushi when she worts. Yeah there.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
When I'm out of town on Wednesday and Thursdays, She'll
get home from school and text me, Dad, I want sushi.
I'm like Emerson, but I love you a lot. You're
you're you know I love but like, no, I'm not
ordering you. I'm not paying the delivery fee for one
roll of sushi.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
By the way, wait, can I can? I can? I
lose points with probably everybody on today's show.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You don't like sushi. I hate sushi, okay, I can
see that take comes a mile away South Bend. Bryan
just meating potatoes.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
That's pretty much. I lost a bet one time and
had to eat sushi. I love seafood love.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
It was so good.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I hate sushi.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Sushi.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Sushi is a punishment. I don't understand why it's so popular.
I don't get it. I get how some stuff is
super popular. I don't get out sushi is popular at all.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Can I tell you why I think it's popular. Well,
I think it tastes.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Good, okay.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
But two is that you don't make it at home.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Okay, I think that makes sense. That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Easily made it at home, right you? Like we now,
I bought Emmy and my daughter, I bought her like
a sushi making kit last year and we made sushi.
I was like, I'm not ording you sushi. I will
buy you sushi crede salmon, I mean, which is just salmon. Look,
let's be fair, and I'll get to the rice, and
like we got seaweed and we bought us a little
like suh, she's making kid And we did it for
(24:01):
a couple of days. But it's just a lot of work, yeah,
to do everything, and I have to keep rice like
ready to go and handy and all this stuff. And
you're just like it's just easier to order it. I
think that's a big part of it. It's just you don't.
You can't make it home. Like when I go to steakhouse,
I don't order stakes. Un let's come with you guys
where we were a bunch of Peter Luger stakes. But
like I would love to order like lamb chops or
(24:22):
or like things, I don't make it home very often.
I got a great stick at home.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I don't need to go out for a steak. So that,
I think is why Sush's so popular is because you
just don't. You don't make it at home.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
That makes sense. I got you on that. Okay, let
me taste good by the way it tastes horrible, I
don't understand it. I just whatever. Hey man, different strokes
for different folks, I guess. But let me get to
these Super Bowl odds here. Let's pay this off. Super
Bowl odds with a major twist. What is the major twist?
Maybe I'm over selling this a little bit, But instead
of just picking a team that you think is the
(24:55):
best shot to win the Super Bowl, YadA, YadA, I
think it's more interesting to look at the teams that
are slotted at the same odds. Okay, yeah, and then
just not necessarily to win the super Bowl. But which
of those two or three teams that have the same
odds to win the Super Bowl? Who do you think
(25:16):
is going to have the best season of that group? Okay,
fire away, So we start at the top. All these
teams is bet MGM. All these teams are seven to
one to win the Super Bowl. Do you think the Ravens, Bills,
or Eagles will have the best season of those three?
Who your money?
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Will you?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Bills? Okay? Soft division? You like Josh Allen that sort
of thing.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I think they're really good. Yeah, and the soft division
is certainly helpful. That's a big part of it. I mean,
you're to at worse. You're winning five division games. You
know there are teams just have a much tougher division
and obviously makes a big difference in win loss record.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
By the way, quick side rant and we'll get right
back on track. These people that love to take credit
away from the Patriots, who it wasn't advantage to be
in a soft division. They're winning super Bowls left and right.
Did the Bills play in this gauntlet division last season?
Jeff was the AFC East just killing it with the Dolphins, Jets,
(26:12):
and Patriots last season? No, what did the Bills do
when the posts they win a super Bowl last season?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Uh? I think the answer is no.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
The answer would be no. So it's not just as
easy as playing in a soft division and boom, you're
just printing rings left and right. It doesn't work like that.
So it drives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I know people want, you know, they want to discredit
Tom Brady as much as they can. It's ridiculous, and
that makes it a lot easier to do that.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
It does. Okay, right back on track. Super Bowl adds
with the twist. The Lions and the Packers are both
at twelve to one to win a Super Bowl. Who
do you think has the better season? I know you
mentioned the Packers before you like them better than the
Lions this year?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I think I do, But I don't know if that
means the Packers are that much better the Lions schedule,
which is so difficult this season that a come postis
in time. I might actually lean toward like the Lions
winning a postison game over the Packers. Okay, but I
think the Packers have a better season because it's the Lions'
schedule is just hillatious this year.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah, it's really really tough. And it's funny, right because
you would think it wouldn't differ as much with two
teams in the same division, but it does. The difference
of playing a first play schedule or a third place schedule,
I'll give it to you right now. So the Lions
the three games that are different than the Packers, right
in their same division. The Lions first play schedule at
(27:33):
the Chiefs on Sunday night, hosting Tampa on a Monday
night at the Rams. That's pretty tough, those three games.
The Packers, they're three games at the Cardinals, at the
Steelers on a Sunday night, hosting the Panthers. I'm sorry,
it was sorry. One of those is not right, faulty information.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I think that's not right.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
That's not right. So no, that one is. So at
the Cardinals hosting the Panthers, at the Broncos. That's their
third place schedule. So a little lighter, a lot lighter.
You got the Panthers, Cardinals, Broncos. That's more favorable.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
But also to like, it's also the lines. It's where
they're playing.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
These games, absolutely, and they're playing these.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Games on the road road, which obviously is a lot
tougher to manage. Yeah, than at home.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Some of these primetime games right where it's at the
Ravens on Monday night, at the Chiefs on a Sunday night,
at the Eagles on a Sunday night. They play at
the Vikings on Christmas Day. So these are primetime games.
That's even tougher when you're going on the road in
primetime standalone places are going to be rocking right there. Okay,
(28:48):
these three teams are twenty to one, all right, Jeff
to win a Super Bowl? Do you like the Bengals,
the Rams or the Niners the most this season?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
II?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
The Bengals are not a playoff team.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Okay, it's not the Bengals, all right, So Rams are Niners.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
If I told you, Brian Queenland, the Bengals, if I
told you that, I give you a bottom five defense,
a bottom five offensive line. M hm. I mean Joe
Burrow's incredible. We all agree on that. But like it's
not great to have the other two things not very good.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah, it isn't. But man, I hate Stafford in the
back end, so.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
To me, that the backs of problems. So it would
be the Niners and I just stay healthy. Look, they've
they've just won a ton of games when they're healthy,
and of course that's a big that's a big factor here.
I do I'm healthy. It is interesting, like with the
trade for Brian Robinson Jr. Does that mean they're not
it's confident that McCaffrey's healthy. They just just want to
have someone in case he is not healthy.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
That's an interesting move, right, And they traded for sky
More as well, and that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
More stinks, I.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Get it, But you're just banged up. They're banged up,
and you know, DeMarcus Robinson is suspended for the first
three games, Jordan Watkins banged up, Juwan Jennings banged up.
Obviously Ayuka is banged up. So their receivers, they're healthy
receivers right now are Ricky Piersoll, sky Moore and Russell
Gage Junior. That that's pretty much what they're working with
(30:18):
right now.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, So the.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Beginning of the season with Purdy and what he has
to work with throwing wise, is is it gonna be interesting?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I would have said the answer for me was the
Rams until Stafford's back then, yeah, became a problem. So
I think that the correct answer would probably be nine
ers as of right now, for that, for that grouping of.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Team, you might be right. I'm gonna go Bengals actually
because listen you mentioned it, Joe Burrow is special and
like the Bengals defense was a wreck last season and
it could be again this season. But I go back
to last year and a couple of these games they
should have beaten the Ravens at home. They had a
(30:57):
couple of like the Chiefs loss on the road was
ridiculous where it was fourth and forever and somehow the
Chiefs like wiggled off the hook. You get a couple
of those games, even with an atrocious I don't think
they could be worse defensively, and they're still almost taking
down the big boys of the AFC. So I think
some of those coin flip games go their way this year.
(31:19):
Is sometimes that happens from season next. Okay, the Bengals,
I'm sorry. The Broncos and the Vikings both are priced
at twenty five to one to win the Super Bowl.
Which team do you think has a better season? Broncos
are Vikings.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I would put my money right now in the Broncos
because I know what I'm getting for bow Nicks. I
don't own to get from j McCarthy.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Yet fair enough, It's totally fair. I can't wait to
see what JJ McCarthy does this season. Man, there's probably
not much you could say that would surprise me. If
you're like, all right, here's the I have a crystal ball,
here's what happens he has a really solid season, I'd
be like, Okay, I see a lot of talent around him.
(32:01):
Or you're like, I got a crystal ball. Really struggles
first year starting quarterback, insanely high expectations, he just struggles.
I'd be like, I'd buy that too. I think he
has a huge range.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I think I think I'm with you a lot here.
The Vikings I think can be as good as winning
division or as bad as being fourth of division.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Isn't that wild? Yeah? All right, last one for fun.
Both these teams are priced at three hundred to one.
We've got the Browns, we got the Saints. Who do
you think is going to be better or not worse?
That's probably the better way to put it.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Oh, I mean, if the if Flacco can give him
a little something, it's the Browns will be much better
than the Saints.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Yeah, okay, so you.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Are have a much more talented team.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Yeah, well I should I should have reminded you before
this because Brianna is with us, who's a diehard Saints fan.
She's filling in as the producer today, so you know,
the Saints slander goes right to her heart right there.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Jeff, you know, I feel like let's have an honest
discussion about the sayings tak going to stink because I
think we all understand. I think we can be honest
with him.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
In the league though, Jeff, worst team in the league,
that's what people are saying.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
They're going to be the worst team in the league.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Okay, can you can you name me a team with
the worst quarterbacks?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
The cults?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Look, Daniel Jones is much better than anything you have
in Spencer Ratler.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
And you think Daniel Jones is better than Spencer Ratler. Okay,
I'll take your word.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I mean, I'm I don't want to. I feel like
I'm being really mean right now. You seem like I'm
sorry if you feel.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Like it's the bet MGM call all over again.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
But like, but like, I'm sorry, I I Brian is
well aware I'm not Daniel Jones Stan, but this yes,
the answer is yes.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Okay, guys, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Look, here's the thing about the NFL's kind interesting about quarterbacks.
So Ratler was what a third round pick, fifth round pick? Pick?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, Okay, think about the starry quarterbacks the NFL. I
think twenty seven of them are first round picks.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
There are a lot of first rounds, and.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
That doesn't include like like Russell Wilson right now, who's
gonna be eventually will be replaced by Dart, right like,
at some point Dart will take over. There. It's a
sport dominated by first round picks in that position, and
if you have someone who's not a first round pick,
they often have to be like something special, right, like
obviously a Brock party, which is an odd situation, right,
that's not normal. You know, Dak Prescott's a fourth round pick.
(34:24):
You know you have Jalen Hurd second a second round pick,
Like I just don't know if again, like I don't
think that's Spencer Rattler. And the offensive line there is
is Okay, the weapons are fine, I think, but the team,
I just think the team gets sort of worse every years.
The cat kind of takes us toll on the team.
So that's my that's my concern with the Saints.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yeah, hey, I get I think it's going to be
close between the Browns and the Saints. Who's the worst?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Are we running our thing back? Brian? Have we decided yet?
Are we to do this on Sunday?
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:52):
We Yeah, we able to figure it out on Sunday.
I'm I'm for running it back.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I don't want to you look at game or something.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, like a game or maybe two or something. I
don't know, like games Maybecau's what their win totals are at,
you know, for anybody who doesn't know. Jeff and I
have bet for years now. I don't even know how
this began, but I bet on the Saints. He bets
on the Panthers. Whoever wins more games wins the bet,
and it's been obnoxious the last couple of years. How
(35:20):
close it is. It's down to the like Jeff wiggled
out last year, I had a couple of game lead
with the Saints and some they stopped winning games. The
Panthers won a couple and tied it up. We had
a push it last season. So I don't know. I
don't know the fairest way. We'll figure it out on Sunday,
you know, We'll run it back somehow, someway. It's tradition.
(35:41):
You can we how can we stop tradition? Over here?
Hopefully Brianna's Saints come. They get ready, They're ready for
business this season. Okay, coming up next, we close it
down in style, Jeff, you'll love this. A couple of
prop bets for week one, A couple of things that
caught my attention when I'm looking around the league last night,
(36:02):
so I'll share them with you. Coming up next, He's
Jeff Schwartz. I'm Brian, No, we're in for two pros
and a cup of joe right here on it is
Fox Sports Radio. He's Jeff Schwartz. I'm Brian know we're
in for two pros and a cup of Joe. So, Jeff,
I was perusing the prop bets for Week one in
the NFL, and I thought this was pretty interesting. You
(36:24):
tell me if you think I'm you know, overreacting or
it makes sense. So a couple of the quarterback passing
yards right the prop bets for week one, It's what
you think it would be, but a couple other quarterbacks
in comparison, I'm like, man, that might be a little
bit high. Maybe all right. So you think about Justin Fields,
(36:47):
the Jets quarterback taking on the Steelers in Week one,
his passing yardage prop bet is one of the lowest
of the entire week. It's one seventy and a half.
All right, He's facing a Steelers defense. Makes sense, right.
You compare that to Spencer Rattler. We're just talking about
the Saints. So it's at one eighty four and a half.
(37:07):
They're at home against the Arizona Cardinals. Okay, so the quarterback,
the opponents, all that stuff matters. You compare that to
JJ McCarthy. All right, Vikings quarterback making his first NFL start,
It's at two twenty two and a half. Jeff, that
does that not seem a little bit high, especially in comparison.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Look, the best answer is to take everyone's under every
single week, and I'm passing it when it comes to
you know what me, I'm gonna give you an ugly
and ugly under for quarterback every single week. There's a
reason why these numbers are set so low. You can
make the case. I think sometimes that garbage time he
kind of can kind of get you, which might be
(37:51):
the situation here. But there are times when players are
it doesn't matter two minute. You're not gonna complete pass this.
It's that simple. And so that might be a factor.
And who's the last guy you.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Mentioned, JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah, it's kind I was looking at cam Ward's numbers
as you were talking to you, look at I think
the thing with McCarthy is is that the maybe the
ease of offense sometimes with them where they can get
some easy yards and Jefferson breaks a couple of tackles,
and you have some numbers. But I you know me, man,
I'm under under under under all these guys.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah. You ever go over on these passing yards props
from week to week?
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Uh? No? Never? Wow, I do, I'll do in game
I'll do in game overs.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Yeah, okay, yeah, how about a first game of the year,
So Dak Prescott against the Eagles defense? Is that two
forty six and a half? Jalen Hurts taking on the
Cowboys two seventeen and a half?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
You like you're going under average like one hundred and
like some absurdly low numbers last year, like one hundred
and eighties, Like you'd be like, what, here's one hundred
yards passing a season last years?
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Insane?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I again, I think the way the Eagles play offense,
and they're going to be up in this game, I
think that I would take the under forhears.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Okay, yeah, it's more of a game script type thing.
I get, it makes sense. I'm so curious what type
of season Saquan Barkley has. You know, the amount of
touches that carries, the receptions, such a workload last season,
so I want to see if you know his season
long rushing yards is set at fourteen hundred and a half.
(39:38):
You got to have the half in there, but he
had over two thousand yards rushing last year. Jeff Right,
he's at fourteen hundred. That's six hundred last.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
But that but the hell thing, right, like that was
absolutely the first year he was played all the games.
That's the concern, right, is like the weird tear of
last year bleeds into this year. Is he going to
be as good? Will he play as long? Essentially as
the question, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
I don't know if you can hear Oreo in the background,
she's tearing stuff up. She's having a great time right now.
But yeah, before we go, fun hanging out with you
on a labor day here, Jeff TCU unc what's your
official prediction for Bill Belichick's debut.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
You've got a text from someone who said that tcu'd
be very disappointed if they didn't win this game.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
So that's good enough to what lay the three and
a half? What do you think here?
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I'll see if the three pops today. I would take three.
If I get a three.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
I can't wait for it.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Man.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
I'm excited for Belichick and all that comes afterward. You
know there's gonna be a lot of reaction, all that
good stuff. All right, Shout out Loraina, Shout out Brianna.
Fun hanging out with you all. All. Have a great
Labor Day.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Oh what is going on?
Happy Monday to you. We wish you a pleasant Labor day.
We are broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios
and Jeff, you know, licking my wounds today as a
diehard Notre Dame fan. Tough loss from the Irish. But
to help me feel better, Oreo is in the building, Jeff.
(00:53):
She was just meowing at the door the neighborhood cat.
Oreo is here for the final hour of the show.
Very excited about that, feel bad about last night already.
With Oreo being here, we.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Leave my dog at a friend's house when we go
out of town and they have the same situation where
joy is the neighborhood cat and the joy just comes
to their house and basically lives. Yeah, same situation you
were in, except you your cat's Oreole but has no white.
It's just all black. That that I need, I need,
(01:24):
I need a rule on that one.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I guess it's, you know, the kind of like the
alternate think about like the alternate NFL jerseys. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I guess you have like the alternate Oreo flavors where
it's just you know, like, uh, you know you have
like dark chocolate. Yeah, so that's kind of Oreo because
it's Oreo thing right there.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, fair enough, Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, your tiniest patch of white on No, there is
totally black, no touch of white.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You don't know who oreos owner is. Our friends know
that the cat is next door.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, we know where she lives because my girlfriend had
a conversation with somebody else. Apparently Oreo makes the rounds
like from like unit to unit in this apartment complex,
so she'll she'll visit other places and maybe the other
place's feeder as well. But there was a guy who
he said, oh yeah, she comes over and visits me
(02:24):
as well.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And you feel jealous.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
No, No, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Okay, it's funny too because we bought her, like the
scratch pad. She's tearing up the scratch pad right now,
which is good. You know, she's got to get it
out of her system. Do you just try to make
your house the best so that you know she wants
to come there at any other house, like you have
the wet food out for her, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, no,
it's uh, we just try to make it comfortable for her.
(02:50):
I'm not in competition with the other people. We just
love Oreo. She's amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So you thought about getting your own cat?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
No? No, I would love to adopt Oreo. But I
don't know how to go about that conversation other than like, hey,
we've nicknamed your cat another name, and can we just
keep her too. That sounds pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But what if you go to their house and you're like, hi,
we have called your cat Orio and they're like, actually,
cat's name is Kathy, right, Like that would ruin That
would ruin you if we found out that the cat's
real name and it was just like some some just
like what what that that's the name of the cat.
It would that would that would crush your soul.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Brian, It really wouldn't, because I guarantee you, whatever the
real name is, i'd be like, oh, Oreo is way better.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It would be better. But like it would be funny
if it was again like some like a human name.
I love. I love animals with human names. Yeah. I
had a funny who had a great day name named Larry,
and it was just like you imagine a great a
full grown great day named Larry. Right, be your best friend.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
No, it's an awesome name. Yeah, get off the couch.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah exactly. Yeah. My dog's name is oh that was
his name. That was what his name from the farms.
I mean, it's a good name. I love Foe like
it's not Larry.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It grew on you because I knew you were thinking
about changing it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, we were thinking about its foes. It's just it's
like whatever man who cares in the end, that's he would.
He came from this Germany. He probably don't even know
his name when we got him, so we could have
just made it whatever we wanted to, but we just
we kept the Foe and we're fine with it.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
That's cool. That works, very nice. Before we get to
the Super Bowl odds with the major twist. Yes, just
a minute on the Irish if you will. I'm curious
what you thought, because as an ex offensive lineman, right,
former offensive lineman, I know you watch the battle in
the trenches very closely. And there you go. It's my ringtone.
(04:44):
By the way, I thought I was getting a phone call.
I thought I didn't silence my phone for a second there,
you know, But.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Gee, do I not like organ enough? It's not my
ringtone is not the organ Ducts fight song.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Your text tone is Jeff Schwartz Oregon. Like, that's what
it says everything. It's like your Sunday night in trove
it so much. Yeah, that's what it says when it
when I get a text from you. But I could
switch it to the Notre Dame fight song if you won.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
No, No, I hope. I wish it was like Jeff
Schwartz wnba something wnba, like another layup missed right there?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, right, we could make something like that happen for sure,
But man, Notre Dame. No pass rush at all in
the first half. They got it cranked up, provided a
little more heat in the second half, nothing to speak of.
In the first half, and then the final drive when
Notre Dame was down by a field goal, they just
their offensive line was a turnstile. It was brutal. I
(05:40):
don't know what got into Carter Davis, this Miami kicker
who is not good, Like he just booted a forty
seven yarder to give him a lead in the final minute.
It was like, where did that come from? This freaking guy?
I thought his first field goal was very shaky, and
then he stepped up and just drilled it. That was
a great kick by him. Pressure situation, and then Notre
(06:01):
Dame z old lines has forgot to block at the end.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
There college triggers man no explain that this is the
thing about college sports, right that I think that that
just there are people that say all the time, I
like walking college sports better than than pro sports, and
the reasons they give are just are ludicrous. But the
reason why is what makes college sports so unique is
that it is played by you know, eighteen to twenty
(06:26):
two year olds, and there is so much unpredictability in
college sports and so much chaos, and to be honest,
it's like kind of poorly played at times. Yeah, that
that is what we love about college sports is the
chaos and then predictability. Professional sports is pretty predictable. I
could tell you pretty much. I think how we're going
(06:49):
to have games on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. This will
be Sunday and Saturday. But Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday. Yeah,
I feel pretty comfortablebout what we're going to see from
most of the teams. So you know there'll be some
some surprises, some some poor plays every now and then,
but like we know we're getting from the NFL, right,
every game is between three hours and three hours and
ten minutes, sort of played the same same formations, same idea,
(07:10):
same concepts. College football, man, it is unique because everything's different.
Team a team, play to play, kicker to kicker, right,
like one kick is just like atrocious, the next one
is right down the middle. You never know. Like that
to me is what is why we talk about college
sports because it's so unpredictable. And you see that from
play to play quarter court, Like how many times in
(07:32):
college football it's just a team can't move the ball
for three courts and then just has three drives over
this score, Like you're like, what what it happened with
your name, mystery, couldn't move the ball, couldn't move the ball,
come to move the ball, blown coverage, sixty five yard pass,
tie game, and it's just you just don't get that
as much in the NFL or the NBA or or
(07:55):
Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You got a little bit of that with Georgia Tech
against Colorado right where they had three turnovers right away
and then all of a sudden, you look up and
they're running the ball down Colorado's throat. They rush for
three hundred and twenty yards. Yeah, you're like, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
All right, yeah, and you go minus three and turnovers.
In the NFL, you're not game wrap. Yeah, especially on
the road, and Colorado is just is I'm on in
Colorado fade this year. I just don't like what their
personnel right now. I don't think that. And Georgia Tech,
would you Georgia starts the game with By the way,
Georgia I had three turnovers that were that were just
(08:30):
unforced airs by Colorado. It wasn't like Colorado's forcing the
fumbles that they fumbled exchange in exchange and they fumbled
a snap and an interception on a tip pass, and
you got I think I got seven points out of that.
That was it. You're like, oh boy, I bet Georgia
Tech pretty hard. As soon as that happened, I got
pretty lucky. Haynes Kin actually just gone down there and
(08:51):
not trying to score at the end.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, yeah, you do. He thought about it. You could
tell he kind of slowed up a little bit. And
here I'm just going.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I'm going to get that when you were when the
game is tied, you go for the touchdown.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yeah. I don't have a problem with it at all. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Also when I Georgia duck Manus four, I appreciated the
effort to score there at the end as well.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
The only thing is if you could if you went down,
you know, it's like say inside the five and you
can run the entire clock out and just kick a
chip shot field goal. I get that. I can understand.
It's just you know, going down and going for the three,
because even in college, that should be a layup. That
(09:33):
should be you know.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It should be a layup. I'm with you. There would
d n have used any time out stop the clock
probably not right. They roll over to next week if
you don't use them. Is that that's what I heard?
Five five next week in the first half. Is that
how that works?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You gotta you gotta use a couple of Look, obviously.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I think Organ does things the right way. I'm an
Organ Duck fan, of course. But I was talking to
some of the coaches. For those who missed, I was
in Organ this past weekend. It was so much fun.
Thank you Organ for for being so generous, uh and
hooking us up with a bunch of stuff. They're they're
just the best. Dan lanne is is We're gonna win
a championship one day. It's gonna be with him. It's
(10:17):
gonna happen eventually. But I was talking to one of
the coaches, like they have a guy who's just like
analytics guy, like he's in he. I was talking Tom,
he's just like in the coaches. Here, everything that is planned,
like plays before, right, here's what we're doing here. Here,
here's a thought process. Okay, oh see here's the plan. Right,
it's third and seven, we're going for a fourth down. Uh,
(10:38):
call plays according with Like all this stuff is sort
of set up right, And that's the way most programs
at the top are run. You have to have a plan.
No when to call timeouts, no one to know what
to do this and that, and it feels like Dion
and this I said earlier. I thought Dian would be
better prepared for situations and Brandy's not. It's three years
running now, same problems game management. You have these timeouts,
(11:02):
you have to use them. You should have used it
after the the the and you have a new quarterback,
by the way, who's not been in the system before,
who have not done a two minute drow before. You
have to be able to do these things to have success,
and they just they're not preparing those moments, and that
those moments are what wins and loses you games. And
your quarterback ran sideways for like twelve seconds together, right,
(11:25):
stuff like that. We're just that should have been practiced.
You know what a personal grap of mind to about
two minute drill. So at the end of games, obviously
you're you know, you're called two minute drill, right two
minutes left trying to make a play. I think should
coach your quarterback Brian all the time to never take
a completion under under it basically like seven yards.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
You know, I think I'm glad you said that because
I think you should coach your receivers if you're gonna
catch the ball and get yeah, just don't catch it.
It's a two year two yard gain and you're going
down immediately. Don't catch it. He shouldn't have thrown it
to you. So it's partially on the quarterback, but I
think the receiver's got to bail their quarterback out sometimes
(12:05):
where it's like you're not gonna be able to get
out of bounds, You're not gonna be able to get
away from the defender. You're just gonna cost us time.
This is not good in any way. It's way better
to drop it.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And I think that that's not that's not Thoughts has
not done enough, but the game management to mean, let's
look for Belichick tonight. I think Belichick can still coach.
I do. I'm not sure he can pick the players,
which is this sports about picking up? I mean, he's
alex quarterback tonight is from South Alabama. I don't feel
great about that for his success tonight. But I do
(12:36):
think he can still coach. And that's what I'm really
curious about tonight. It's like game management. Game management situations
is like do we come away like because Matt Patricchip,
by the way, who's like, oh, it was the DC
for Ohio State. I think had a great game here.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It's this great job, awesome job.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And I was a little surprised because I think it's
really difficult to make that to make that jump from
from you know, from the NFL the college when you've
never done college before. He's never done college before, and
so Belichick tonight, like game management always been a positive
in New England. How's it in college?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, I'll say two things real fast. The first thing
with Matt Patricia, I'm very glad you brought him up.
That was again another trendy thing that didn't make sense.
It was very trendy to be like, oh man, Ohio
State went from Jim Knowles to this hack named Matt Patricia.
And it's like I compared to him. I said, he's
the nickelback of coaching right now. You know, Jeff is
(13:29):
just fashionable to talk trash and say this guy's the worst,
this band's the worst, YadA YadA. And if you really
walk through Matt Patricia his resume, he was a good
defensive coordinator coordinator who won three Super Bowls with the Patriots. Okay,
he was a good DC in the NFL. And then
he became a head coach and it was a disaster
(13:50):
with the Lions. And then somehow he's calling offensive plays
with the page ridiculous. That was absurd, But okay, fine
bash him for that. But as a defensive coordinator, he's fine,
and he proved that against Texas, had a great defensive
game plan, did an awesome job disguising coverages. If we're
giving Brian Flores all this credit as the Vikings defensive coordinator,
(14:12):
as we should, we should give love to Patricia. He's
disguising looks, he's changing it up. He's giving you one
picture pre snap and one picture post snap. He did
a fantastic job. I didn't buy that. It was it
was so fashionable to bash, you know, the hire of
Matt Patricia's if he wasn't gonna be good on the
college level when he was good in the NFL. It
(14:34):
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I think for me, the thing that that I was
interested is just with new coordinators, I always just sort
of take a step back and evaluate, like whether I'm
gonna put my money on those guys or like I
just think that that's fair to do. Be like, you know,
we sure, and it's gonna first scheme. Looks it work out.
It worked out well.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
He was great, It worked great. And one thing I'll
say real fast is going back to your Dion Andrews point.
I think it's one thing to mess something up, and
it's another thing to justify what you messed up. It
makes me think of the Chicago Bears. Remember last year
was at the Thanksgiving game where I can't remember which
(15:15):
game it was at Detroit, but their clock management was
a disaster at.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The right like it was.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
It was that they ran out of time completely. It
was awful, and after the game, Matt Eberflus was like, no,
it's what we're going for. That's the kind of what
we wanted to do. And it's like, dude, are you
serious right now? You can't just on me. It starts
with me, starts with me. But Deon Sanders that was
(15:47):
bad clock management. And there were clips afterward where he's like, well,
you know, we thought we were getting out of bounds
and we thought he's just justifying it. It's like no, no, no, no,
that's even worse. Just say, hey, listen, it's got to
be better. Like, I don't expect any coach to be perfect,
any team to be perfect, any player to be perfect.
But as soon as you start justifying, like I thought
(16:10):
it was a great idea to throw it in a
triple coverage on that, they're like, no, that's a mistake.
Like just just own the mistake instead of trying to
justify it. It makes it way worse.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I also think when you when you have these continual mistakes,
to then not take ownership of it, it's it's kind
of the issue that I that I see right where
you know, we all make mistakes. We accept the mistakes
are going to be made. Yeah, but Dealons have this
problem for three years now where he just game managed
situations are not great. I mean, and this is what
(16:41):
I was most interested to see about this year, is
like Shradure and and Travis Hunter made up for a
lot of coaching mistakes and they're not there anymore. Right,
it's not it So it's not it's not the same.
Their quarterback now is just not it's not it's not Sudeur,
he's not Travis. Travis is not there to make up
(17:02):
for the mistakes. And so that to me is what
I was looking forward to seeing with with Colorado, and
I think I'm on the right side here. With with
how I feel about them this season, and I'm curious
to see obviously how this season goes. I will say, though,
Dion ever ever the showman to get that that that
essentially portable urinal sponsored by depends like what brilliant job, buddy,
(17:24):
Like absolutely brilliant lead into it. Obviously, you know, we're
glad that he's he's much healthier now, but what what
I mean just a brilliant And it looks all these
little portable pop up medical tents are sponsored obviously by
by the you know in heire Charlotte, like atriam Health
right is my wife's company. But they they do, you know,
(17:45):
they do at least uncc right. The pop up ten
would say Atriom Health on it, right, like that's what
it would say. His pop up ten for himself says depends.
It's like it's so good, lean into it, be honest
about it. Maybe it helps someone out there that you're
honest about it. But just like I loved it so
much due that he just went full like steam ahead
with with with you know, bleeding into obviously having a
(18:08):
new bladder.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yeah, no doubt, I thought that was great as well.
And uh, listen, I love Deon Sanders. He's great for
college football, but hey, man, if you make a mistake,
he would own it as a player, you know what
I mean? Like, that's the weird thing. I don't understand
how Deon Sanders, the what do you what.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Do you own it as a player? I think I
don't think you ever made any mistakes though that's probably
never made a lot of mistakes.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Not making like dramatic mistakes like that. But that's what
I don't understand, is you know, just it's just move on, no.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Doubt he's not. And so that's okay. Just I think
people like ownership of mistakes and sports obviously in real
life as well, and we just want some times, ye know,
it's it's me, it's me, talk with the problem, starts with.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Me, starts on the problem absolutely, all right, Uh, coming
up next week, get to the Super Bowl odds with
a major twist. Okay, these aren't as common conversation about
Super Bowl odds as a major curveball. Come in your
way right around the corner. He's Jeff Schwartz, I'm Brian No.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
I know that that Deren studio. I believe the morning
guys right together. Yeah if we did like a webcam
of us three on the weekends.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
See when I'm at home and I have things in
front of me like screens, I am just like I'm
eighty d d out. I just have like film running
football highlights YouTube, I'm just like watching something the entire time.
I think it would be a terrible watch now. In person, obviously,
it's much different studio, Like I like doing a radio
(21:14):
person is a rarity for me and just don't get
to do it very often. It's like so much fun
because you're just with the person. It's a lot different.
Like if we're in studio, you're like you're locked in
the person you're working with, right yeah, yeah, But it
feels like even when we're on YouTube on Sundays. I
know they're only putting up I mean on Zoom one,
I know, the only putting up like three segments we do.
So I'm my best in those three segments obviously, But
I feel like a show of us on YouTube on
(21:35):
the weekends would be rather interested be crack just like
looking at his screen making wagers. It would be Oreo
interrupting you. And it just me just like my eyes
darting all over the place looking at all the things
I'm looking at the same time, like I've I've watched
them film this morning, I've done something, I've done some
research on teams ready for week two. Like I'm I'm
just like I'm all over the place. Mentally, I can
still talk obviously cleary, clearly, but I know that I
(21:58):
know there are radio hosts that are very much like me,
where they're just like constantly have to look at something
the entire time. Some just lok in if they get
one interruption, they can't deal with it. I work from home,
like I got kids like about to pop on my
door anytime of the day. You never know when my
daughter's going to walk in and ask me, like, hey,
can you order me sushi? I'm like Darling, I'm on
the radio. It's four thirty in the afternoon. I'm literally
(22:19):
working right now. I cannot like when I'm on camera too,
They'll walk in and just start talking to me. I'm like,
do you see that I'm working right now? Just no
regard Brian whatsoever. You have to work through those things.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Sometimes, Oh absolutely, I might make it better, you know,
it might be more entertaining that way. It's not your
standard radio show where you know, any moment, some family
member can ask for sushi when she worts. Yeah there.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
When I'm out of town on Wednesday and Thursdays, She'll
get home from school and text me, Dad, I want sushi.
I'm like Emerson, but I love you a lot. You're
you're you know I love but like, no, I'm not
ordering you. I'm not paying the delivery fee for one
roll of sushi.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
By the way, wait, can I can? I can? I
lose points with probably everybody on today's show.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You don't like sushi. I hate sushi, okay, I can
see that take comes a mile away South Bend. Bryan
just meating potatoes.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
That's pretty much. I lost a bet one time and
had to eat sushi. I love seafood love.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
It was so good.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I hate sushi.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Sushi.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Sushi is a punishment. I don't understand why it's so popular.
I don't get it. I get how some stuff is
super popular. I don't get out sushi is popular at all.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Can I tell you why I think it's popular. Well,
I think it tastes.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Good, okay.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
But two is that you don't make it at home.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Okay, I think that makes sense. That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Easily made it at home, right you? Like we now,
I bought Emmy and my daughter, I bought her like
a sushi making kit last year and we made sushi.
I was like, I'm not ording you sushi. I will
buy you sushi crede salmon, I mean, which is just salmon. Look,
let's be fair, and I'll get to the rice, and
like we got seaweed and we bought us a little
like suh, she's making kid And we did it for
(24:01):
a couple of days. But it's just a lot of work, yeah,
to do everything, and I have to keep rice like
ready to go and handy and all this stuff. And
you're just like it's just easier to order it. I
think that's a big part of it. It's just you don't.
You can't make it home. Like when I go to steakhouse,
I don't order stakes. Un let's come with you guys
where we were a bunch of Peter Luger stakes. But
like I would love to order like lamb chops or
(24:22):
or like things, I don't make it home very often.
I got a great stick at home.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I don't need to go out for a steak. So that,
I think is why Sush's so popular is because you
just don't. You don't make it at home.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
That makes sense. I got you on that. Okay, let
me taste good by the way it tastes horrible, I
don't understand it. I just whatever. Hey man, different strokes
for different folks, I guess. But let me get to
these Super Bowl odds here. Let's pay this off. Super
Bowl odds with a major twist. What is the major twist?
Maybe I'm over selling this a little bit, But instead
of just picking a team that you think is the
(24:55):
best shot to win the Super Bowl, YadA, YadA, I
think it's more interesting to look at the teams that
are slotted at the same odds. Okay, yeah, and then
just not necessarily to win the super Bowl. But which
of those two or three teams that have the same
odds to win the Super Bowl? Who do you think
(25:16):
is going to have the best season of that group? Okay,
fire away, So we start at the top. All these
teams is bet MGM. All these teams are seven to
one to win the Super Bowl. Do you think the Ravens, Bills,
or Eagles will have the best season of those three?
Who your money?
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Will you?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Bills? Okay? Soft division? You like Josh Allen that sort
of thing.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I think they're really good. Yeah, and the soft division
is certainly helpful. That's a big part of it. I mean,
you're to at worse. You're winning five division games. You
know there are teams just have a much tougher division
and obviously makes a big difference in win loss record.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
By the way, quick side rant and we'll get right
back on track. These people that love to take credit
away from the Patriots, who it wasn't advantage to be
in a soft division. They're winning super Bowls left and right.
Did the Bills play in this gauntlet division last season?
Jeff was the AFC East just killing it with the Dolphins, Jets,
(26:12):
and Patriots last season? No, what did the Bills do
when the posts they win a super Bowl last season?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Uh? I think the answer is no.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
The answer would be no. So it's not just as
easy as playing in a soft division and boom, you're
just printing rings left and right. It doesn't work like that.
So it drives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I know people want, you know, they want to discredit
Tom Brady as much as they can. It's ridiculous, and
that makes it a lot easier to do that.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
It does. Okay, right back on track. Super Bowl adds
with the twist. The Lions and the Packers are both
at twelve to one to win a Super Bowl. Who
do you think has the better season? I know you
mentioned the Packers before you like them better than the
Lions this year?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I think I do, But I don't know if that
means the Packers are that much better the Lions schedule,
which is so difficult this season that a come postis
in time. I might actually lean toward like the Lions
winning a postison game over the Packers. Okay, but I
think the Packers have a better season because it's the Lions'
schedule is just hillatious this year.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah, it's really really tough. And it's funny, right because
you would think it wouldn't differ as much with two
teams in the same division, but it does. The difference
of playing a first play schedule or a third place schedule,
I'll give it to you right now. So the Lions
the three games that are different than the Packers, right
in their same division. The Lions first play schedule at
(27:33):
the Chiefs on Sunday night, hosting Tampa on a Monday
night at the Rams. That's pretty tough, those three games.
The Packers, they're three games at the Cardinals, at the
Steelers on a Sunday night, hosting the Panthers. I'm sorry,
it was sorry. One of those is not right, faulty information.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I think that's not right.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
That's not right. So no, that one is. So at
the Cardinals hosting the Panthers, at the Broncos. That's their
third place schedule. So a little lighter, a lot lighter.
You got the Panthers, Cardinals, Broncos. That's more favorable.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
But also to like, it's also the lines. It's where
they're playing.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
These games, absolutely, and they're playing these.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Games on the road road, which obviously is a lot
tougher to manage. Yeah, than at home.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Some of these primetime games right where it's at the
Ravens on Monday night, at the Chiefs on a Sunday night,
at the Eagles on a Sunday night. They play at
the Vikings on Christmas Day. So these are primetime games.
That's even tougher when you're going on the road in
primetime standalone places are going to be rocking right there. Okay,
(28:48):
these three teams are twenty to one, all right, Jeff
to win a Super Bowl? Do you like the Bengals,
the Rams or the Niners the most this season?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
II?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
The Bengals are not a playoff team.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Okay, it's not the Bengals, all right, So Rams are Niners.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
If I told you, Brian Queenland, the Bengals, if I
told you that, I give you a bottom five defense,
a bottom five offensive line. M hm. I mean Joe
Burrow's incredible. We all agree on that. But like it's
not great to have the other two things not very good.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah, it isn't. But man, I hate Stafford in the
back end, so.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
To me, that the backs of problems. So it would
be the Niners and I just stay healthy. Look, they've
they've just won a ton of games when they're healthy,
and of course that's a big that's a big factor here.
I do I'm healthy. It is interesting, like with the
trade for Brian Robinson Jr. Does that mean they're not
it's confident that McCaffrey's healthy. They just just want to
have someone in case he is not healthy.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
That's an interesting move, right, And they traded for sky
More as well, and that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
More stinks, I.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Get it, But you're just banged up. They're banged up,
and you know, DeMarcus Robinson is suspended for the first
three games, Jordan Watkins banged up, Juwan Jennings banged up.
Obviously Ayuka is banged up. So their receivers, they're healthy
receivers right now are Ricky Piersoll, sky Moore and Russell
Gage Junior. That that's pretty much what they're working with
(30:18):
right now.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, So the.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Beginning of the season with Purdy and what he has
to work with throwing wise, is is it gonna be interesting?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I would have said the answer for me was the
Rams until Stafford's back then, yeah, became a problem. So
I think that the correct answer would probably be nine
ers as of right now, for that, for that grouping of.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Team, you might be right. I'm gonna go Bengals actually
because listen you mentioned it, Joe Burrow is special and
like the Bengals defense was a wreck last season and
it could be again this season. But I go back
to last year and a couple of these games they
should have beaten the Ravens at home. They had a
(30:57):
couple of like the Chiefs loss on the road was
ridiculous where it was fourth and forever and somehow the
Chiefs like wiggled off the hook. You get a couple
of those games, even with an atrocious I don't think
they could be worse defensively, and they're still almost taking
down the big boys of the AFC. So I think
some of those coin flip games go their way this year.
(31:19):
Is sometimes that happens from season next. Okay, the Bengals,
I'm sorry. The Broncos and the Vikings both are priced
at twenty five to one to win the Super Bowl.
Which team do you think has a better season? Broncos
are Vikings.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I would put my money right now in the Broncos
because I know what I'm getting for bow Nicks. I
don't own to get from j McCarthy.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Yet fair enough, It's totally fair. I can't wait to
see what JJ McCarthy does this season. Man, there's probably
not much you could say that would surprise me. If
you're like, all right, here's the I have a crystal ball,
here's what happens he has a really solid season, I'd
be like, Okay, I see a lot of talent around him.
(32:01):
Or you're like, I got a crystal ball. Really struggles
first year starting quarterback, insanely high expectations, he just struggles.
I'd be like, I'd buy that too. I think he
has a huge range.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I think I think I'm with you a lot here.
The Vikings I think can be as good as winning
division or as bad as being fourth of division.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Isn't that wild? Yeah? All right, last one for fun.
Both these teams are priced at three hundred to one.
We've got the Browns, we got the Saints. Who do
you think is going to be better or not worse?
That's probably the better way to put it.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Oh, I mean, if the if Flacco can give him
a little something, it's the Browns will be much better
than the Saints.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Yeah, okay, so you.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Are have a much more talented team.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Yeah, well I should I should have reminded you before
this because Brianna is with us, who's a diehard Saints fan.
She's filling in as the producer today, so you know,
the Saints slander goes right to her heart right there.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Jeff, you know, I feel like let's have an honest
discussion about the sayings tak going to stink because I
think we all understand. I think we can be honest
with him.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
In the league though, Jeff, worst team in the league,
that's what people are saying.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
They're going to be the worst team in the league.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Okay, can you can you name me a team with
the worst quarterbacks?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
The cults?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Look, Daniel Jones is much better than anything you have
in Spencer Ratler.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
And you think Daniel Jones is better than Spencer Ratler. Okay,
I'll take your word.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I mean, I'm I don't want to. I feel like
I'm being really mean right now. You seem like I'm
sorry if you feel.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Like it's the bet MGM call all over again.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
But like, but like, I'm sorry, I I Brian is
well aware I'm not Daniel Jones Stan, but this yes,
the answer is yes.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Okay, guys, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Look, here's the thing about the NFL's kind interesting about quarterbacks.
So Ratler was what a third round pick, fifth round pick? Pick?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, Okay, think about the starry quarterbacks the NFL. I
think twenty seven of them are first round picks.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
There are a lot of first rounds, and.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
That doesn't include like like Russell Wilson right now, who's
gonna be eventually will be replaced by Dart, right like,
at some point Dart will take over. There. It's a
sport dominated by first round picks in that position, and
if you have someone who's not a first round pick,
they often have to be like something special, right, like
obviously a Brock party, which is an odd situation, right,
that's not normal. You know, Dak Prescott's a fourth round pick.
(34:24):
You know you have Jalen Hurd second a second round pick,
Like I just don't know if again, like I don't
think that's Spencer Rattler. And the offensive line there is
is Okay, the weapons are fine, I think, but the team,
I just think the team gets sort of worse every years.
The cat kind of takes us toll on the team.
So that's my that's my concern with the Saints.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yeah, hey, I get I think it's going to be
close between the Browns and the Saints. Who's the worst?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Are we running our thing back? Brian? Have we decided yet?
Are we to do this on Sunday?
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:52):
We Yeah, we able to figure it out on Sunday.
I'm I'm for running it back.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I don't want to you look at game or something.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, like a game or maybe two or something. I
don't know, like games Maybecau's what their win totals are at,
you know, for anybody who doesn't know. Jeff and I
have bet for years now. I don't even know how
this began, but I bet on the Saints. He bets
on the Panthers. Whoever wins more games wins the bet,
and it's been obnoxious the last couple of years. How
(35:20):
close it is. It's down to the like Jeff wiggled
out last year, I had a couple of game lead
with the Saints and some they stopped winning games. The
Panthers won a couple and tied it up. We had
a push it last season. So I don't know. I
don't know the fairest way. We'll figure it out on Sunday,
you know, We'll run it back somehow, someway. It's tradition.
(35:41):
You can we how can we stop tradition? Over here?
Hopefully Brianna's Saints come. They get ready, They're ready for
business this season. Okay, coming up next, we close it
down in style, Jeff, you'll love this. A couple of
prop bets for week one, A couple of things that
caught my attention when I'm looking around the league last night,
(36:02):
so I'll share them with you. Coming up next, He's
Jeff Schwartz. I'm Brian, No, we're in for two pros
and a cup of joe right here on it is
Fox Sports Radio. He's Jeff Schwartz. I'm Brian know we're
in for two pros and a cup of Joe. So, Jeff,
I was perusing the prop bets for Week one in
the NFL, and I thought this was pretty interesting. You
(36:24):
tell me if you think I'm you know, overreacting or
it makes sense. So a couple of the quarterback passing
yards right the prop bets for week one, It's what
you think it would be, but a couple other quarterbacks
in comparison, I'm like, man, that might be a little
bit high. Maybe all right. So you think about Justin Fields,
(36:47):
the Jets quarterback taking on the Steelers in Week one,
his passing yardage prop bet is one of the lowest
of the entire week. It's one seventy and a half.
All right, He's facing a Steelers defense. Makes sense, right.
You compare that to Spencer Rattler. We're just talking about
the Saints. So it's at one eighty four and a half.
(37:07):
They're at home against the Arizona Cardinals. Okay, so the quarterback,
the opponents, all that stuff matters. You compare that to
JJ McCarthy. All right, Vikings quarterback making his first NFL start,
It's at two twenty two and a half. Jeff, that
does that not seem a little bit high, especially in comparison.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Look, the best answer is to take everyone's under every
single week, and I'm passing it when it comes to
you know what me, I'm gonna give you an ugly
and ugly under for quarterback every single week. There's a
reason why these numbers are set so low. You can
make the case. I think sometimes that garbage time he
kind of can kind of get you, which might be
(37:51):
the situation here. But there are times when players are
it doesn't matter two minute. You're not gonna complete pass this.
It's that simple. And so that might be a factor.
And who's the last guy you.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Mentioned, JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah, it's kind I was looking at cam Ward's numbers
as you were talking to you, look at I think
the thing with McCarthy is is that the maybe the
ease of offense sometimes with them where they can get
some easy yards and Jefferson breaks a couple of tackles,
and you have some numbers. But I you know me, man,
I'm under under under under all these guys.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah. You ever go over on these passing yards props
from week to week?
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Uh? No? Never? Wow, I do, I'll do in game
I'll do in game overs.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Yeah, okay, yeah, how about a first game of the year,
So Dak Prescott against the Eagles defense? Is that two
forty six and a half? Jalen Hurts taking on the
Cowboys two seventeen and a half?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
You like you're going under average like one hundred and
like some absurdly low numbers last year, like one hundred
and eighties, Like you'd be like, what, here's one hundred
yards passing a season last years?
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Insane?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I again, I think the way the Eagles play offense,
and they're going to be up in this game, I
think that I would take the under forhears.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Okay, yeah, it's more of a game script type thing.
I get, it makes sense. I'm so curious what type
of season Saquan Barkley has. You know, the amount of
touches that carries, the receptions, such a workload last season,
so I want to see if you know his season
long rushing yards is set at fourteen hundred and a half.
(39:38):
You got to have the half in there, but he
had over two thousand yards rushing last year. Jeff Right,
he's at fourteen hundred. That's six hundred last.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
But that but the hell thing, right, like that was
absolutely the first year he was played all the games.
That's the concern, right, is like the weird tear of
last year bleeds into this year. Is he going to
be as good? Will he play as long? Essentially as
the question, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
I don't know if you can hear Oreo in the background,
she's tearing stuff up. She's having a great time right now.
But yeah, before we go, fun hanging out with you
on a labor day here, Jeff TCU unc what's your
official prediction for Bill Belichick's debut.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
You've got a text from someone who said that tcu'd
be very disappointed if they didn't win this game.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
So that's good enough to what lay the three and
a half? What do you think here?
Speaker 2 (40:27):
I'll see if the three pops today. I would take three.
If I get a three.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
I can't wait for it.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Man.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
I'm excited for Belichick and all that comes afterward. You
know there's gonna be a lot of reaction, all that
good stuff. All right, Shout out Loraina, Shout out Brianna.
Fun hanging out with you all. All. Have a great
Labor Day.
