Lets take a look at the standings for a moment,

(00:20):
money line. Matthews still sitting at the number one spot,
forty seven. Respect to my boy Kenny, put him back
in high school. I'm sitting there in the second place.
I'm sitting now just bat in five hundred right now,
all right, Hall of Fame career for bat in five
hundred and now. A crazy turn of events is taking place.
A couple of weeks ago, we looked at Delaney and go,
ain't no way he's coming back. And he's just every
week in the last month has just been going up

(00:41):

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Delaney.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Just last week we were talking about a guy about
to take you out in the parking lot at the
time facility.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, yeah, you know, you know I've been doubted my
whole life, man, you know, but don't start. I put
on my shoes one foot at a time to.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Say everybody else, just like I make my bets one
day at a time.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
And you're making six today and as you see, I
don't fall last.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Did you take it personal when you saw the world
clamoring about moneyline Matthews and all the success he was
having moving the lines and stuff like that, thinking I
was your original guy of that and now you've come
back into the fold.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I mean that that crossed my mind. That cross crossed
my mind. But he's so, he actually made it him,
so I'm happy for it. You know. Some fans even said,
do you used to take all money lines? I'm like, no,
that's Matthew.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Money line militia. I feel we're sitting at like a
two boxers about the fight and just being ably complimented
to each other. He's great less a great competitor what
he's doing out there.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah yeah, until you you know, we get on stage
and knuckle it up. No, no, no, no, I'm not Jake Paul,
Jake Paul.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
I can't fight that I am white. No.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I think me and Matthew have been on the same
page all all year. Be honest with you, well way,
I mean our bets are similar, we uh make the
same points. Yeah, we kind of page all to be
honest with y'all. We were even talking about getting our own.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
I respect, I respect the client that you have, but
you're still sitting me.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
You're right, You're right. I'll mean, it's heard in December,
it's fourth you got playoffs?

Speaker 4 (04:14):
All right, dude, fuck it. You know I'm stoked for you.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
You know, good people.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
How do you feel about your picks this week?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Great, getting your first six.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
In a week.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
You know.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
I don't want to jinx it, but it smells like it.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Biggest winners of the weekend were the ones who faded
really see you fader rely see you're six.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
And oh yeah yeah yeah, Hey what took place here?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
I look at oh and six right there, and I
think to myself, sometimes great success comes.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
With great sacrifice.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
My goal of mine. I've been telling people for years
how the Kansity Chiefs were going to make the playoffs
in twenty twenty five and for me to do that,
I realized last week that I had to pick. I
had to pick the Chiefs to see it, to see
it fall for good. And now I'm realizing that going
oh and six was also necessary, a necessary sacrifice for

(05:12):
everything to kind of align and for the Chiefs to
be knocked out of the playoffs. So that is how
I've wrapped my brain around this oh and six start.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
The greater good in your opinion, the greater good, your
vision of NFL America is coming to light. And it
just took you.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Having to go like, Yeah, if I asked myself, will
would you go winless in all of your bets for
the Chiefs to stay out of the playoffs, And my
answer is yes, so I would do. I would have
that same record again if it meant keeping the Chiefs
out of the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
How do you feel sitting there right now? Says fourth,
But you're tied with Delanny for last place. Delanne's been
on a heater and you just went oh and six.
Is there a fear starting to creep in the back
of your head that, oh, maybe I end up at
the bottom of this when it's all said and done. No, No,
there's no fear at all. No, there's a lot of
ball left. Yeah, but it's also the fourth quarter, according Delaney.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah, yeah, we're in the fourth quarter, fours up, like, hey,
look around, ain't nobody coming to save you. Either you're
the problem or you're the solution. Right now, we're solution oriented.
So there's a lot of ball up. There's no time
for fear or doubt. Okay, it's attack, it's kill mo.
Yeah on this on this board this weekend.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Have you been on six before?

Speaker 3 (06:24):
No? I think this is my first, whether it be
undefeated or winless. I think, yeah, we made history this weekend.
Chiefs are out and six. It's harder to.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Go the first time some one went on and six.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
It's harder to go oh and six than it is
five and one.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Man, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
He said the same thing to me when I went six.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
I think you went on. No, he said, it's the
first time.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
History has been made. I'm talking about Delaney's five to
one record made history this weekend.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
No, I've been five and one multiple times. Yeah that
ain't you ain't record win six then five and one? Yes, Yeah,
you're right.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
I had to think about that.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
How are you feeling here to sweater on?

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Yeah, feeling you sent a little parlay to the group
chat before the show starts.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Looked at it. A lot of money lines in there.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Hey three for three last week. I don't even did I.
I think I might have picked the Chargers money line.
The money line is always hit from me. So we're
getting back to the bread and butter.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Did the parlay the money line? Did the Matthew's parlay
hit last week?

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Packers?

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Packers?

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Bugs? Means we was having momentum with this money line militia.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Now we still got momentum because my I bet the spread.
I didn't bet the money line. So when I bet
the money line.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Then you also fit the audience your parlay. You're like,
this is I'll pack the spreads for the show. And
you're like, I still got the parlay, lose it all.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Said, oh yeah, but.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
That's my Packers.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Man.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
They had it twenty four to thirteen.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Hold on, man, you had no problem going against him
a few weeks ago.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
I didn't go against him. I bet this spread. Remember
I said they went to win, but I'm betting the spreading. Guests, No,
I went you went over.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
You ended up checking your no, but you was going
Chicago plus six and a half or something, and then
you realize looking at your note. But y'all, you know what,
I took the over in this game.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
I'm glad.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
I'm glad I looked at my notes because I had
to think about it at home. But uh, I feel
good about this week. I got a I got a
nice little five leg money line I'm gonna send out
to America just to make a little money. It's a
little plus five hundred nothing, big nothing, big crazy money.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Conservative parlay conservative. Yeah, like you your holiday parlay.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
These are the closest thing to guarantees that I can guarantee,
are these money lines. So I can't wait. But for
the show's sake, I'll bet the spread. Well, I will laugh.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
We'll have a good time. But if you want to
win money, boys, which is what we're on here to
do money, should we get into it? Let's get into it.
First game? Who are we talking about? This first one?

Speaker 1 (09:12):
The first game we're talking about is two teams that
will confidence is very high on winn up this episode
to bring you form Energy. Form Energy delivers best in
class taste with natural flavors and zero sugar form Energy
has natural caffeine derived from green tea. Form comes in
a variety of flavors. They have streaming Freedom, rocket pop inspired,
grape smashed, blueplits, orange Fury. It's perfect for those who
put in the work form Energy. We do the work

(09:35):
and tough spot. The Jaguars, that's number one, are playing
at the Broncos. Broncos are favorite minus three told points
in the game is forty five and a half points.
I kind of set it up this way. This is
Will sneaky AFC team versus AFC West, which seems like
but it's pretty much locked up at this point. Yeah,
they're winning the West.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Broncos are gonna win the worst.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, so we'll give it to you.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
I'm going I'm going under under.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
I'm going under forty five and a half.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
What you lying at?

Speaker 4 (10:12):
But what do you hey, but Trevor.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Lawrence, Trevor bawling, this was this one screams over.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
That was like you told me with the Bears doctor's pick.
He said, Oh, it screams under and guess what it
went over? So you're reverse psychology here.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Or possibly maybe, but I'm also in six. Maybe this
is what the people need, like all right, fade Willie c.
You know what I mean? Do you know what I mean?
Because I'm in the same I'm in the same predicament menally.
But thinking about Trevor Lawrence and bow Knicks, bow Knicks
coming alive, bow Knicks playing some really good football. Uh,
Trevor Lawrence, he has been bawling. Nobody wants to talk
about the Jaguars right now. Everybody refuses to just bring

(10:50):
up the Jaguars. They want to talk about, Oh, Justin
Herbert putting up sixteen points, the Chargers defense, the Buffalo Bills.
Who who's another team? The Houston Texas is in their defense,
Broncos massive win over the Packers, all these AFC teams.
But everybody forgets that Jacksonville right now is sitting at
ten and four and they're playing great football. Like their defense,

(11:10):
They're they're top in the run game. Their defense is
nasty turnover, they're opportunistic. Trevor Lawrence is bawling like nobody's
bringing up. Everybody's talking about you know Shanahan, it was
stiking at one point time. Another bring up more Coaches
of the Year, Vay Bowl, Ben Johnson, him and his
first job as a head coach his first year with
the Chicago Bears. Nobody's peaking nothing. Nobody's talking about Liam Cohen.

(11:36):
Like Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence like they're locked in
right now. I want to say ETN came out. I
was like, I won the national title with Trevor Lawrence
and he's this is a different level that I'm seeing
with Trevor Lawrence right now. Liam Cohen's tapping in to
Trevor Lawrence's potential, which is a high potential. Everybody's talked
about how he's big, he can throw it, he can
do all these things. He has a high ceiling, but
he hasn't really tapped into it over the years. He

(11:57):
goes in Liam Cohen, who was the OC for the
Buccaneers last year. Baker Mayfield is in every MVP conversation
because statistically he was at the top of the charge.
Everywhere you see kind of what's happening this year. I
know a lot of injuries have been played, I have
been plaguing the Buccaneers, but the common denominator between both
of these situations has been Liam Cohen. So it's hard
to pick this game on who's gonna win out of

(12:18):
Jacksonville and the Broncos. My heart's getting kind of tugged
at because the Jaguars have been the sneaky AFC team
for me all year. Broncos. I've always loved bow Nicks
and what the Broncos are doing. So I'm gonna go
with under under forty five and a half when everything
screams over, go under. Defensive just went up to forty
six and a half. Under forty six and a half. Wow,

(12:40):
And I don't think that's gonna.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Hit I just.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
What I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Listen when you get in in this fog with the
O and six and I'm like, man, everything kind of
says over right here, like a lot of good offensive
ball coming along. I just got on the pedestal to
Bowe Nicks four touchdowns, Liam Cohen, Trevor Lawrence like this,
all these offenses are operating a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Now. What about their defenses though?

Speaker 3 (13:07):
But what about them defenses?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
It's just a defense, and especially Denver being at home
with that defense, but.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Your top ten defenses going at it.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
I trust your eyes, just like when you played inside backer.
You can't get fooled by all the fugazi from all
the smoke and mirrors. You gotta believe it. You've done
it a thousands times, you've seen it, you repetition, you've
done it in practice. So bet how you want to
bet and believe it. Don't start saying, Oh, they're gonna
hit over and I'm going under. What do you feel
like it's gonna be lob.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
That was incredible. Well, we were just watching was.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
We were just.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Watching a guy fall apart in front of her eyes
and you took him and pulled him up. That's leadership.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
That's what That's what leadership leaders do.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
The subordinates what expected me like that?

Speaker 4 (13:57):
That was just like you know, I mean will linebacker, Mike.
I'm just bringing it.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
If we were together, listen the times that you had
to play inside backer Willy c was on that team,
you would have got to keep your hand in the
dirt and you'd be having more of a resume for
this Hall of Fame career because you would have got
to continue to rush the past. You wouldn't have had
to put on the green dot. Willy See would have
had your back.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
You're absolutely right, brother, we should have brought you in.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
No, no applause there, I love you.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
He was a Green dot as mentioned, Will just gets this.
I think I put a bowl.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
There was the supportinate words, supporting, supporting it, support it,
supporting way better than supporting.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Well get back.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (14:51):
I just feel like after watching this game, especially with
my interest in the Packers this last week and then
playing the Broncos, watch bow Knicks what he was capable
of doing. I think if he can continue to play
like that, they're the best team in the NFL. And
as much as I have given him flak as well
as the Jaguars, two teams, so I'm waiting, and I'm

(15:12):
guilty that's been waiting for them to flop a little bit.
I mean, Jaguars ten to four and now Broncos are
on eleven game win streak. But I just feel like
they are going to Denver as you stayed at Delaney, like,
I just think they have so much momentum, They have
so much belief, the defense is playing incredible, and now
you got bow Knicks and you beat a great Packers team, Like,
I think, momentum is sky high. Go wrap up that

(15:34):
number one seed, and I think they get it done
with this. I think they cover this game at minus
three over the Jags.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Okay, yeah, I like that. I mean, I mean, I
like that. You know, the Broncos, Yeah, they are favored,
but if you look at against the spread, Jacksonville is
way better than the Broncos. The Broncos haven't been consistent.
He gets the spread, so that gives me value right
now with the Jaguars, they're going up there and upsetting them,

(16:04):
taking to win because I may swing that money line,
but I may not.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Oh so by the end of the show.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, no, we'll circle back.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
So look, the Jags right now, it's gonna be tough,
because I'm sitting out here. If you feel like the
Broncos is gonna get it done, which they're a very
good team, go out there and play their very best
game against the Jaguars and the Jaguars don't, or the
Jaguars will play the very best game. Take Jaguars plus
six and a half because that's what I will be doing.
But if you don't believe in that, take the Broncos

(16:36):
three plus minus three and you will have a safe
bet there. But if you following this guy right here, units,
because that's what I get is unit unit, You're gonna
take the Jaguars six and a half.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Plus all that the Broncos are ten to two in
one score games. Nope, they have a seven game home
winning streak right now. That's what I've said, six and
a half.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Six, and that's just one. Let's on up the seven
that if you're gonna.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
I should have listened to you the last time. I
should have listened to you last time. Seven and a half. Yeah,
Matrios Patriots, I should have listened to you the last time.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Look at that coming together.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
That's the ladies leader I'm taking.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
He's zag wires plus seven and a half.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Hey, he just greened outed the hell.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Out of you know, I'm taking Jaguars.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
What you told?

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, I should have listened to my man. He gave
me an ali and I didn't take it last week.
And if I did, I would have been six and
oh giving me another one. See y'all don't see it
that way. I feel it.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
I love the way you said, man. I love hell
every value I'll put the over here. I don't even
give a ship. There's no depth that's talking about the Jaguars.
And I think for most of the everyone's looked at
the Broncos and like they've been just like quietly winning games.
You know, when they lost to the cultures a crazy call.
But after the Broncos beat the Packers, I think if

(18:04):
they've now like come into the light or everyone's like, oh,
is this a real contender? Is bo Nicks? Is he
the guy that's gonna take them in his second year
to go win a Super Bowl? And everyone's kind of
getting on the Broncos train, which can be seen as
rat poison in my opinion. Jaguars are still in that
world of no one's really talking about us. The AFC
South is kind of like the fourth of the four
divisions in the AFC.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Well, AFC South comes up, It's all Houston Texas, right,
It's all Houston Texans, are you right?

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Trevor wins his bond like he's had ten He's kind
of for ten touchdowns and zero zero interceptions in his
last three games, like he is. He's hitting a new level.
And I love I love the idea of the Jaguars
coming in quietly to Denver when it might be a
foregone conclusion to most that the Broncos are just gonna
win this game because they handle the great Packers team
and they were able to get into a shootout mode,

(18:49):
which we could. We didn't think that the Broncos really
do ended up winning. That's why I kind of like
the Jags here to cover. I like the Jags to
quietly come in, silent assassin, go into Mile High state
them and handle business. So I'll take them plus three.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Smart guy, very smart guy.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
We got to talk about this one Steelers at the Lions.
I Clay, I need you to break down some of
this Steelers stuff to me with your Yeah, yeah, Lion's favorite.
This game minus six and a half. The over under
on this game, it's fifty one and a half Detroit.
It's at Detroit. I don't know what to think about
this Dan Steelers team, Bro.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
But you know what to think about the Lions. We
said last week there was gonna be a shootout. They
travel out West. Yeah, they start fast off, looks good.
I'm and Ross ain't Brown. They get out to a lead,
but then second game in a row, they give up
five hundred yards the Rams take off, they give up
twenty unanswered points. We talked about the defense being the
liability with the injuries they have back there, So I

(19:49):
think you know what you're getting from the Lions. They're
going back home. Steelers traveling to them. So now that
I know what the Lions give me over here, which
is amazing offense production and points, especially at home, it's
the Steelers. They they looked good. They looked good versus Miami,
but they should have looked good. Miami looked terrible.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
TJ.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Watt had to have been sick in his hospital bed
with his collapse lung just watching to a give up Sacks.
I watched that from home, saying, shit, I can get
off the couch like Philip Rivers and go go get
me a couple of sacks, maybe just one.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
But I don't know.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
I mean, like you heard Aaron after the game talk
about there's beliefs starting to set in.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
They're stacking these wins.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
They got another big one the Ravens coming up, that
they can separate themselves.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
But I just I don't see him getting it done
this week.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
I just I think the Lions are too much offensively,
and the Steelers, outside of DK Metcalf, they don't they
They only rush for like thirty three yards on the ground.
Now he was a dog on that one touchdown he
had DK, But for the most part, I just I
don't think they have enough offensive firepower to keep up
with the Lions. So I like the Lions covering at
minus six and a half.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
It's also bizarre too, like the Steelers shutting down the
run game of the Miami Dolphins. They're like a top
three rushing attack and they just shut it down. All
of a sudden, the Steelers, the steel curtain shows up
and shuts down a run game, and I just I
don't know what to think when it comes to the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Now now I'm thinking in my head they've
rattled too in a row, two big wins for them,
when a few weeks ago we're talking about Tomlin, the

(21:22):
fire conversation that happens every year. Now that they're two
in a row, the music is like the spot where
now they drop a bad game, they perform bad and
then the conversation comes back up. You know what I'm saying.
I'm like, just with the I'm saying, just the Pittsburgh Steelers.
They always seem to win games when they're just fully
counted out, like when everybody's off the train with the

(21:43):
Steelers and then the Tomlin stuff comes up. Then they
rattle off wins and it's like, man, we should have
ever been talking about that, and then they lose a
game they're not supposed to lose, or they lose in
a fashion on which they're not supposed to lose it
Because obviously the Lions are a good football team.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Good football team, but also five and five, yeah, in
the last ten, Like they're a team that I think
we have this thought because the last two years they're
both double digit, had double digit wins under their belt
at this point in the season and twenty three and
twenty four and we're still kind of waiting for that
to show up. But like they're five hundred in their
last ten. So the inconsistencies we're seeing with the Steelers
the same inconsistencies that we're seeing with the Lions. And

(22:18):
me personally, I think if I'm looking at both teams
that are inconsistent right now, who would I Who am
I gonna lean on? It's gonna be Dan Campbell, It's
gonna be the Lions. Like yeah, you know Steelers, Like
as inconsistent as they have been on the defensive side
of the ball, they have twenty four takeaways, that's third
in the NFL, and they have the potential to be
one of those great defenses. But I like, this is

(22:38):
one of those games to me that I like I
look at on my sports when I kind of like
lean back and stay away from because the line is
big and both teams have been inconsistent. But since we're
on the show, like I sit there, I'm like, well,
the Lions are going at home. They said, I devastating
loss to the Rams. So let me take the Lions
or let me take the let me take the lines,
take the line. Sorry, sorry, I'm gonna lie mine sex six.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
This feels like this feels like a moneyline game.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
I saw your parlay and I'm like, I'm messed with
It's a good par Let me actually double check because
there's one.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I want to make.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Sure the Texans in there, just to sprinkle sprinkle, lots.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Of sprinkle sprinkle.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
It's only games. We'll get to that.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
At the end, I'm put out there. Maybe maybe the
handle could put it out there for the viewers.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
I mean, you saw with the Steelers that against the Dolphins.
I feel like you can see Arthur Smith doing a
little bit more in the offense, getting John new back
in the backfield that he had them in Atlanta, that
he was doing and he finally started to do it
in Pittsburgh. He had a rushing touchdown. I think it's
just them starting to do different things. Give people the ball,
give them chances to make plays in their hands, and

(23:47):
I see that being exciting for the Steelers. Right now, man,
I'm I'm actually taking the Steelers this game, Steelers, Steelers
for six and a half. I'm gonna go Lions to cover.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
Cover cover, cover, stealing Steelers.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
But that's the man right now. It is. Let's going man.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Nicole Bultro.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Superior bragging rights for Superior Light Beer.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Now what is the record right now? Eight and seven?
I'm mating seven. I believe I'm mating seven.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
I think we're tied.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
You think we're tied.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Let's just go with.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Superiors with Superior week. The week changes though, uh Bucks
at Panthers Bucks your favorite minus three total points. They
gave us forty five and a half points. People don't
want to say it, but this is the Panthers man.

(24:48):
People don't want to talk about, like these two teams
play each other twice in the next three weeks, like
maybe split, maybe not. But you watch at what the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers is put on the field, Mike Evans
comes back, everyone get takes. They're up against the Atlanta Falcons.
Kirk Ook Duggins goes in handles businesses third and fourteen
and they end up converting that. They end up winning

(25:08):
the game when they're down two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
I love Baker Mayfield. I love his moxie, his attitude,
everything he does. But this Panthers team just has quietly
like put together great wins throughout the season, and they
run the ball efficiently, They're good enough on defense, and
I like the Panthers here. I kind of like the

(25:29):
Panthers who win the South?

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Are we just going to forget about this? Last week
the Panthers in the same up seventeen seven.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
This is super this is Super Troopers. You guys got
the bulletproof cup on. He's like, how youre you shooting today?
He's like pretty good, And he's one of the nets
like what about that? Don't worry about that. Don't worry
about that one.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
But it did.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Finally kind of do some weird show.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
There's four wins on the season, two of them against
the Panthers. Neither of these teams want to win the
NFC South here. I'm disappointed in the Buccaneers, especially their
defense not being able to close out that game. Was
awesome to see Mike Evans come back and you know,
try and finish out his career in epic fashion. Baker
for the last eight games has not been playing what
we saw in the early half.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
And pick at the end of the game.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
MVP consideration that the Panthers, I mean they're up and
down too, but yeah, they have looked better this year
with Canalis. But I just I don't think I don't
feel comfortable picking either of these teams. So that's why
I'm going with the over at forty five and a half.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
I might have to follow my green Dawd on that one. Oh, Subordinate,
you're taking it over, cause, like we're sitting there watching
the stream last Thursday, I mean Demon Demon cooked up
to this nice little parlay where we had, like the over,
we had who is the touchdown score? Fuck Irving B
Jehn Robinson, B Jehn Robinson, B John Robinson. We had

(26:50):
the over and then Demon goes all line and takes
goes all line and takes the Bucks to cover seven
and a half, move the line up to minus seven
and a half they should have, and then Baker Mayfield
goes up there and throws that crazy interception and just
ruin those things. Because vibes were high when we got

(27:12):
everything was hit and everything was right there. We just
needed Baker to drive down field just protect the football.
It didn't happen. For those reasons. I'm out on the Bucks.
I'm gonna go Panthers. I know, I know, but I'm
gonna go Panthers plus three. Heard that's aboording word again.

(27:34):
You just had no, no, no, no, I'm sitting there
talking through that. For those reasons, I'm out on the Bucks.
So I'm like, just go Panthers. Really see, So I'm
gonna go Panthers plus.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Would Yeah, you know, I'm just lucky you. I'm pretty
much spelled all the ship. I was gonna say, not bad.
I'm actually gonna go with the Panthers too, but I'm
gonna move that line to six and a half. The
Panthers right now is a team. I know they lost
to the Saints last week, but they are a team
that is fighting Rico. They got to lean on Reco.

(28:06):
If we can run that ball and get this man
as many touches as possible. This is gonna be a
good game. I don't see them losing by a touchdown.
I think the Broncos may win this game, but I'm
gonna take the Panthers to cover.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Hold on what the Broncos win this game? The Panthers
a cover.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
And a half.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Ye good doubleheader this week.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Hey, we got some Papa warnership going on. Hey, boys,
get your juice boxes, get your orange slices. We got
another game in an hour and a half after that.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Oh yeah, the Buccaneers. I'm tripping the Buccaneers. So you're
taking Panthers plus three plus six and a half. Okay,
y'all know what the I'm talking about. Bro was looking
at my notes and we just like to get I
trust me, y'all know I don't take y'all know I
don't take nothing serious, except except for Buddy. We just

(29:06):
have a parking lot. Oh no, they taking him siu.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Oh, looking back on it, probably should have.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
He was the homie. It's just you know, he was
say that he was the homie, you know what I mean?
And at locker room he was the homie. Outside of
the locker I can't say what he was, but inside
of lock he's the homie. I'm the leader on the team.
That stuff you just you just let that stuff just
wash off, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Hell yeah, hell yes. Let me ask you this, dude,
how you feel about the Patriots at the Ravens. Ravens
are favored last two and a half and the told
points four to seven hals.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Which is crazy. The Ravens is only favorite because they,
I guess analysts feel that they're playing at home. The
Ravens are going to be stronger at home. The defense
usually play better when they're at home. But y'all already
know what I'm gonna do. I'm Underdogan this week. I'm
taking Patriots. Look, history shows Rabel knows how to beat

(30:03):
the Patriot beat the Ravens. And with that's all it
has to be said. If Mike Rabel is the coach,
I'm following Mike Rabel. I am taking this guy to
go as far as he possibly can, and that's maybe
the Super Bowl. So the Ravens are getting.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
Beat unless they have to play the Bills. What happened
the Bills was that was that was Josh.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
I'll guarantee if they got to play again, the Patriots.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Win guarantee, guarantee, guarantee. It's a mule guarantee right there.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Guarantee the Patriots.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
So you're going Patriots money money line.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
No, I'm taking the spread.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
I like I like, I like the Patriots. I like
the Patriots money line. I love everything I saw about
the way they started the game. Obviously they couldn't finish.
We saw some some holes on the defense. Josh Allen
put on the Superman cap. They couldn't stop the run game.
I think it was five possessions in a row that
they scored. But I think there's a refocus. They still

(31:02):
have this opportunity to win the AFC East here, but
Ravens owing to at home in prime time this season.
I know they're coming off a win, feeling good, but
I'm surprised that as well as the Patriots play and
scoring twenty nine thirty points, whatever it is, that they
don't feel like that they are the underdogs here.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Now.

Speaker 5 (31:23):
If I'm the Ravens, I'm looking at the game plan
from last week with the Bills. I'm just I'm handing
it off heavy to old buddy Dere Derek, and we
both got something going on, and I'm having Lamar's got
to pick and choose when to make his plays, you know,
to make his plays. But I like the Patriots money
line here despite it being primetime being flexed in Baltimore.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Give me the Pats.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Yeah, this show is a meeting of the minds. It
takes all four of us to curate something here. I
love the Patriots. I love the Patriots money line this weekend.
I think what happened against the Bills, the best thing
that's gonna happen for the Patriots season is blowing that lead,
blowing that twenty one point lead. Everybody's gonna be tight
this week. Everybody knows, like what's his sake? And Vrabel
we've been in the rooms where he sits there and

(32:09):
breaks down like the formula to beat the Ravens. I
think the Ravens are a lesser team than they have
been in years past. Lamar, he hasn't been the same
Lamar Jackson that we've known in the past. He's playing
better football. But again, I love the Patriots in the spot.
Love him going to Baltimore kind of being the underdog, Like, hey,
everybody thinks now that we had our week schedule, Bills
came back Josh Allen. He superman, He's this that everybody's

(32:30):
not even talking about the Patriots anymore, and they're gonna
go into Baltimore and they're gonna.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Get a doube.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
The way that Patriots lost his game is the perfect
way for them to lose his game and to really
crank it up for the rest of the season. Rabel
was undefeated going into coming off of bio weeks. I
would tell this last game. You go into at halftime
up three scores and then lose a game like that,
that's the perfect reset. You're never gonna be able to
just suit up on Sunday and beat a team. Conversation

(32:56):
that Rabel's gonna put on the boys there, there's gonna
be a new sense of urgencyking place this late in
the season for the Patriots. I like them going and
I like the money line.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Against against the Ravens money line, money line.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
You like the spread?

Speaker 5 (33:08):
Still, Yeah, I'm taking Why don't you go go against
us and just go Ravens.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
What's why would I do that?

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Go Ravens money line? But if you're sitting the spread.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
I'm just taking the spread. I'm taking the spread because
Vegas knows something we don't know. Obviously there's Vegas.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
We know Rebel Baby, but you know.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Something, Huh, you go ravens Pluster and a half.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
I wouldn't go ravens Pluster and a half. I'm just
telling y'all.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
I'm on a hot streak right now. I'm just I'm
gonna let chat GBT keep me on the right street.
Oh so that is who I ain't say. Jack Gibt
gave me his information. You know, I've been talking to him.
You can get therapy from chat GBT, right, and they've
been They've been keeping me on the right narrow.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
So yeah, the right.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Narrow indeed, any of the minds. I love that, by
the way, because it does take all four colts forty
favorite minus six and a half to the points. That
game is forty six and a half points. First off,
I love the storyline Philip Rivers, the clip of the
kids and whatever restaurant watching him throw that touchdown in

(34:32):
the game, like this is a there's a movie taking
place with Philip Rivers.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
I was pulling for them so so hard.

Speaker 5 (34:38):
I wanted to win for him, and then I was
hoping he would just leave, just leave one game and
just be.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Done, get it, get his health insurance back for five
more years.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
See how much did it make you think after watching him?
Like if you got to put yourself in his shoes,
if they're like, hey, whomever it is, Titans, you know
they reach out, forty nine ers packed, like we need
you back.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
Like I felt it. I felt it.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
I put myself in his shoes, and I was like, man,
I hope he gets it done for us, for all
of us, for the old heads who retired they said
you couldn't do it anymore. You got commentators who are
up in arms because you know they didn't.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
They didn't.

Speaker 5 (35:16):
Maybe they wanted him instead of somebody else or whatever
it might look like. So I was I was disappointed
they didn't get to win, but I was happy to
see him have a little bit of success.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
That he had. And I hate to cut you off,
but I think that's where it stops. I think that's.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Where it stops.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Listen from that Seattle Colts game. It was the ultimate
trap game.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
It was a trap game because they're playing the Rams
coming up on Thursday night. They're looking past saying, oh no,
they got this, you know, forty four to forty five
year old quarterback coming back who hasn't played in four
or five years, Like, this is gonna be easy. But
they get the dub. I know, we're nothing about the
Seahawks here. I think there's tape on Philip now. I
think they you see what you know the game plan
they're gonna run in the forty nine ers. I mean,

(35:59):
is there team that's talked about less than at ten
and four forty nine ers and howas? But yeah, has
them coached up? Brock Purty looked unbelievable. His movement looks
fully healthy, Kittle looks awesome. Their old line has been
playing well lately. Defense is still you know, it's still
going to be their liability in the long run. But

(36:21):
I think this is a I think they covered handedly
at minus six and a half in this one. I
just I just don't think it's going to be too close. Yeah,
I mean, obviously Colts they kept it close with fuel position,
controlling the clock, running the ball. I just think you know,
now that it's out there, now that's put out there.
I just I don't see it being a problem.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Especially Robert Slady, that DC, He's going to know exactly
what to do. You see some of the throws that
Rivers was making, how they just kind of tail off
towards the sidelines. It's like they hit a brick wall
and just fell down a couple of times. I love
the storyline. I'm with you on all of that forty
nine ers recovery in this game. Let's not take away
from Philip Rivers. Absolutely, I love everything about it.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
No, he's a grandmother.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah onward, I mean it's all spot on.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Are you going Colts? Mhm, what are you going here?
He said? He like he laid it up perfectly. Let's
not take away from Philip Rivers. I think that last
weekend was a moment where it's like they let the
family come in the room, they say they're goodbyes. We
got to get some words and have a good exchange.
But it is it'll be the end of the road
for Philip Rivers.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
And listen, nothing but respect, nothing but respect for the game.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
But you see him, like, you know, he's still got,
you know, whatever form of juice she says he can have,
he's still you know, out there kind of like dishing
it from and everything that. Yeah, a couple of ducks
dunk defense. Yeah, but just see it come out sputter

(37:45):
a couple of times, the whole slipping and falling thing.
The Niners will have at least some type of film
of what and get a sense of a game plan
that's going to be happening with Philip Rivers. He's not
gonna be chucking it deep, he's not gonna be doing
all that stuff. They're going to suffocate him and the
Niners are going to cover this game.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
Yeah, I got Niners covering, no brainer.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Christian McCaffrey, guys.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Christian Daffer in the ball, Yeah, just goes crazy.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
I mean, that's the only thing that can change that.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
I'm done. Philip Rivers is like, yeah, back that can
run the ship out of the ball.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
This the thing. He hasn't been the same since Daniel
went down. He is kind of tampered awful lot. I
mean he's still consistent, but I don't know, thet ain't
been the same.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
It's hard to it's hard to keep that level of
consistency he was playing with. Yeah, it was crazy, got
high a level all season long, and it's yeah, so
interest taking place.

game of the week. But shout shatout Philip Vers. We
got the True Classic game of the week. Every weekend's
got games, but only one that's just right. This is
true Classics game of the week. We got the Green
Bay Packers at the Chicago Bears. Spread on this game,
Packers are favored by one and a half Jordan Lovers

(39:22):
Caleb Williams. The over under on this game is forty
six and a half.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
This is the game, and this is the game.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
This is the game, the game.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
What time is this?

Speaker 5 (39:32):
This is the game Saturday night? This is I've been
waiting all day for Saturday night. But this is the
Packers destiny right here right destiny. Hey, I'm a little
work for the Packers. I'll tell you why not a
talent standpoint, I just think of the psyche of that team,

(39:52):
your team MVP, and Micah Parsons goes down who they
traded for before the season, saying, this is the piece
we need to get over the hump to get us
to the super Bowl. Christian Watson comes back. He's playing phenomenally.
I think five touchdowns and four games Jordan loved. There
was a beautiful deep ball and the Packers are up,
what twenty four to thirteen or twenty three to fourteen.

(40:13):
They got this in hand on the road and certain
defensive mvp A just picks it off, lands on him.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
He's hurt.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
So let's get back to the psyche. You got one
of your best offensive players. Go down your team MVP,
and now you're playing the Bears, who were coming off
a big win, and you're in the same position you
were two weeks ago when you played them. Bears are
half a game ahead. You need this to stay obviously
ahead in the NFC North. But as a coach, I

(40:42):
used to hate when coaches would you know, extra meetings,
practice would be a little bit more physical, longer, longer,
because you'd sense this panic in the air, you could
sense it means more, but players, we don't. We just
wanted to be business as usual. So for me, I
worry about that, and especially with you looked at last week.
The Rams win, the Seahawks win, the Bears win, and

(41:03):
the forty nine Ers win. The loser of this game
is quite possibly doing the seventh seed in the in
the NFC, which is drastic from being you know, maybe
the number two seed here.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
But I can't bet against my Packers, you know.

Speaker 5 (41:18):
And I think one of the stats I wrote down
here from the first time they played that doesn't show
up in the box scores. The Packers averaged six and
a half yards per play against the Bears. Bears did
a great job in the second half making adjustments. Caleb
looked awesome in the second half, being elusive.

Speaker 4 (41:37):
I'm sorry, we just had a little spill right here.

Speaker 5 (41:39):
He was awesome in the second half. But I think
he's gonna be a close game. But I like the
Packers winning this based on talent, based on they did
this before Michael was here. They did this Wayne Christian
Watson was hurt, and I looked for them to get
a big win at Soldier Field prime time to take
a a man in lead in the NFC North about

(42:02):
half a game. That's my passion speak playing Soldier Field. See,
I think the Bears have all the momentum right now.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Bro Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
Put it on the Browns.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Caylen Williams, I.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Mean Green Bay. I'lmost stick to this. They cannot play
well at a way. I'm just that's just my that's
my motto.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
He said, I much stick. I haven't lost the Soldier
fields and seen that.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
It's a whole new year. Hold more years, That's what
I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
And they only have what to two road losses this year.
They had one going in the last week when Dulane
was like this team time, I told y'all, man.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
If you look at it, they're very close to on
the way road games very close. They may win, but
they're close. They don't play as well as they play
in Green Bay. I'm just saying you can see it.
I've been right. The scores is telling you.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
Is it the weather, because the weather should be the same.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
I don't know, because it was a tough loss against
the Broncos at Denver.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
Andros Are, but yeah, we know who The.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Broncos look good in the beginning, because the Broncos play
trash in the beginning and then they step up and
they have a great second half.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
We know that.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
So I've sat there and watched that game, Like turn
the first. We're not watching the first. We'll come back
in the second half. It will be a whole different game, man,
like it was so. But at the end of the day,
just I like Green Bay. I like the Colors. You know, yeah,
the city is not much there, but uh that's why
when they're there, they play great because everyone comes to

(43:37):
the stadium and cheers for them, make them feel so special.
But then when they go away, they get booze to
get the turn of the heads. They don't like that.

Speaker 4 (43:47):
They just get rattled.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
The rattled they need the cheers, see they That's why
I wasn't good during COVID because y'all need fans.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
MVP, and didn't they go to the NFC Championship thing.
They might know they.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
Weren't good on the road though.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
It was not good on the road. No, uh no,
I'm going you know, come on, man, y'all know I'm
taking the Bears here. But the thing is, I have
to move that line. I have to move the line.
Reason why I moved the line because the first the
first time they played well was twenty one, twenty eight. Yeah, yeah,
so I'm gonna move that line to seven and a half.

Speaker 5 (44:31):
So Bear plus seven and a half yeah, or pack
Wait if the Packers, it should be Packers plus seven
and a half? If there because you don't think they
play well? Right, No, it's not. It's the Packers are favorite.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Packers don't play well. They're not good away. They live
by the cheers and then die by the booze. So
for that reason, he's gonna take the Bears to only
lose by seven.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Yeah, they gonna win, but if they don't, they won't.
It was morning.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
But it's a little insurance. That's a little insured.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
That's gambling. That's gambling. That's why Vegas does it, why
I can't do it and Vegas can do it.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
I love this, Yeah, I love this.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah, at least.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Come back to are you going six and a half old?

Speaker 3 (45:19):
He's still picking some of.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
The S's like me three weeks.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Ago that that's gambling.

Speaker 4 (45:28):
We're all trying to win.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
I think Bears gonna win, but if they lose.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
I need seven. That was a good impression.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Where'd you go?

Speaker 3 (45:46):
I'm taking the packers to me, like I hear, I hear,
since the the subtle fearing clay for the package.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
I don't think that's awareness.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
I know, but you're you're saying that the psyche I
know what happens and goes on. I don't necessarily think
it's a bad game. Like if you're practicing harder or
you you know, if you feel like you're head coach
or whoever it is, you feel the missing pieces from
one of your better offensive weapons, and obviously you're the
the MVP pass rusher in Michael Parsons, I don't necessarily
mind the urgency or the harder practicers because at the

(46:18):
end of the day, you do got to lock in
and find different and find ways to win without those guys.
Like that level of urgency heightens across the board for
the other ten guys on the field. The guy who's
going to be filling in, he knows what he's gotta
not necessarily live up to. You don't try to go
out there and be Superman. You know, you have to
rally around as an offense to have a strategy, and
then you get to kind of like lock the doors
focus in a little bit more and I see it.

(46:40):
I see it more as like a like a I
was gonna say positive thing. Obviously you want Watson and
Michael Parsons out there, but for the team as a whole,
like that feeling of urgency, feeling like you can't have
any goals. We do have to come out and come
on the field and go a little bit harder practice
with that much more urgency. When you feel that, I
feel like the team will show up more because they
feel like they are. They're going in there. Everybody's got

(47:02):
a soldier field. Chicago Bears, they're in the race. Who's
gonna win the North? Here you lose, They're not. They're
not worried about them being able to fold the seven seed.
But it's more of like this is a must win game.
Our back is against the wall. So I see the
Packers again. They a tough loss out in Denver, but
it was the Denver Broncos and Packers have still been
playing well, you know, outside of losing those pieces. I
think they continue to play well and they beat they

(47:24):
beat the Chicago Bears.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Yeah. The problem for me is like both these guys
like it's so it's catastrophic them losing losing those two
guyscau Obviously, Michael Parson speaks for himself right like you.
If he's out now as an offensive line, as an
optic corner, as a head coach of Ben Johnson, you
can now scheme against your best pastors, which is Rashaun Garry.
Skiming against one good pass rusher is way easier than
be like, oh, we got two aliens on both sides.

(47:47):
Now we're not so sped up, and how we have
to go through our progressions what we've no capabills have
struggled with throughout the season. He's have more time to
sit in the pocket, you know, and they don't necessarily
rely on him completing the ball. He's won eight games
that can leation percentage lower than sixty. And then you
look at the receiver. His biggest asset was being a
deep threat. So you have all the entire secondary having

(48:09):
to back up, which allows completions you know, inside ten yards,
inside fifteen yards, and so Jordan Love fits. It's more
comfortable because when Jordan Loves sacked one or less times
in a game, he's seven to one and one. If
he's two and three, he's I think he's a little
less than five hundred that way. So now when you
don't have the deep threat, it condenses the field at
fifty three and a third kind of comes down to

(48:29):
like forty eight forty seven. It's where you have to
make decisions. But the pockets are way tighter to throw into.
So now that allows more pressure to get into because
some second guess he can take place. So there's a
lot of dominoes that happen. And you know, seeing the
defense when they when you're throwing in a tighter windows
like this is the most opportunistic defense in the entire NFL.
They they have a turnover margin of plus twenty. So

(48:53):
I see all those things and it's like, yeah, we
can get a rising tight lifts all ships. Hey we
have these two guys are down. Someone's got to who's
going to carry the boats in the situation. But I
think the Bears are sitting in a more advantageous spot
of winning this game and getting getting a W for
the first time in since twenty eighteen.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
So the Bears, they've been playing well. I feel like
Caleb Williams is right there ready to break through.

Speaker 5 (49:15):
They're a playoff team, like they deserve way they play,
the way they're designed, the way Ben Johnson has them
running the ball, playing opportunistic defense.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
Caleb not phased by you know, his balls, his passes, you.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
Inaccurate he's had Yeah, yeah, that's part of the that's
part of his growing process and knowing that he hasn't
wavered confidence level. He hasn't waivered mentally. Dude, he can
sling the rock. I think he's going to be a
hell of a quarterback once he gets all that stuff down.
In the game continues to slow down for him. They're
stacking wins, he's getting momentum. Bears been playing awesome football.
I just feel like the Packers, it's gonna be a

(49:51):
close game. I just feel like Green Bay gets it
done in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
Yeah for good.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
Yeah, there's Bears, Packers, Packers.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:03):

a guy has a game like that, I don't know

Speaker 5 (53:41):

games where he scores one touchdown eight to no, games
where he doesn't score oh and five last week, didn't
score oh and six. Now he's got a score for
these Lions.
