Speaker 1 (00:04):
This week, we have a very unique week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We are off Thursday and Friday for the New Year's holiday. Wednesday,
we've got a whole bunch of play by play stuff
utsa basketball ut football, the Spurs, among other things. So
we're juggling some things around, and the men's basketball game,
normally on ticket on Wednesday, will.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Be on the Bowl ninety three to three.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Then this weekend both the men and the women play
in Philadelphia, and we're going to start at ten thirty
Saturday mornings. So after Shane helps David out with the
golf show, he can just stick around and call and
have a basketball game with us.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I just need to like bring a pillow at some point,
just stay the night.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, there's a couch in here here.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It feels like whenever I'm here, it feels like I'm
here more than I am at home, which feels crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Joined the club.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah you are, well, you're on the road when you're
here anyway. Yeah, well, this time of the year, for sure.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
September to March, you're on the road of lap From
marsh September, you're a lot more where you're.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm here, Yeah, I'm firmly, firmly here we'll see if that. Yeah,
that's kind of the that's kind of the deal U then.
So anyway, because there is no show on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
And which is our reward for having to coming on.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Friday exactly, and Shane and Sam will be here tomorrow,
we got to get to our NFL picks for Week eighteen,
even though Week seventeen's not done yet.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
So here we go NFL picks.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yes, and the first game on the docket is Tampa
Bay and Carolina and I have been on the Baker
Mayfield bandwagon all.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Year long and I'm gonna stick with it.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I know they're one of their last eight games, but
they got to win sometime. They're at home, They've got
the Panthers divisional matchup. I think I'm gonna go with
Tampa Bay to win the South. Now, they're not gonna
last very long when they get to the playoffs, but
they're gonna they're gonna win this game.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You're right, Andy, they do need to win some time,
and that time is next season because I think Carolina
goes in at they run the ball down, this defensive
line which is beat up, and once again, Rice young
A untalked about success story in in I guess would
be his third year here in the NFL. I don't
think it's I don't think it's a particularly highest score
in affair, and I think they probably would lose the
first round because I like all the wildcard teams better
(02:16):
than I like them. But I think they win this game,
and they advanced them into the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
All right, Seahawks are taking on the forty nine Ers.
It's basically the number one seed is up for grabs.
The winners. I think it's going to get it, yep.
So I'm I am surprised at how well the forty
nine ers have played this year without Ayuk, without Deebo, Samuel,
without Bosa, without Eric Williams for a lot of their games.
(02:44):
Fred Warner, Yeah, Fred Warner, I just think they're playing
with polis gold. I'm taking Seattle to win on the
road now. I think that goal is shimmering. I love
San Francisco. I love them at home. I love the
way they brought party.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
By the way ten total touchdown last two weeks to
the touchdowns. Granted, Seattle is one of the most complete
teams in the NFL, and Sam Donald last year he
bled his career and I was playing a Seattle team
that's worked well offensively for him with coach McDonald. But
this San Francisco team, and one thing I talked about
with Puman, I'll tell you right now, Andy, the teams
you want to trust the most in the playoffs are
(03:15):
the most experienced ones. There is maybe no team in
the NFC in the rams more ready, more prepared, and
more more likely to win these games than San Francisco
under Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
They're playing a lot better than I want them to play.
But I need to sit Seahawks to bring him back
down to earth a little bit, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
The Saints are at.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The Falcons in a who cares game, and since I
don't care, I'll just take the Falcons.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I've been a personal Tyler.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Shuck and that is coming to the guy trying. I mean,
so both teams get a better draft pick if they lose.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, I'm just saying. Jawan Johnson, the tight end for
the Northern Saints is close to one thousand yards that
Chris Olave his first one hundred reception thousand yard season
of his career. The Saints have played really well that
Tyler Schuck behind a brand new a really good untalked
about offensive line has been doing really well. Kellen Moore
gave I'm gonna give his flowers have done a good
job with a second the second round quarterback who I
had no hope for. I think they need some obviously
(04:06):
new pieces on defense. They need a few more weapons
on offense. But this Saints team going to the nature
of the team to watch out for. I think the
Saints win this one all right.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The Browns and Bengals.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Joe Burrow has proven that he can play again, even
though it's kind of a mop up part of the season.
I'm gonna take the Joe Burrow Bengals when he's healthy.
They play well, and Shador may be or may not
be the quarterback next year, but right now, the better
the better of the quarterbacks is Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
A couple of things to watched for in this game
is that, obviously Miles Garrett needs one more sack to
get the all to get the all time single season
sack record against a bait up Bengals offensive line. I
think he might get in up like getting three or four.
To be honest, I I the thing about the Cleveland
game they're saying it is Pittsburgh is Pittsburgh was the
better team, but they had known a throw to they
couldn't find anyone to get open. That's like, that's on you,
DK Metcalf And obviously Calvin Awesome is out for that.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
He's not there.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
And I think in a in a realistic game, the
Steelers win that game nine times. Cincinnati I think wins
this game as well. And I think this is also
gonna be a game also for the Browns to analyze
shador as if they give him another year advanced, because
remember he's a fifth round rookie, so his leash isn't
as long. This is game. This game is more about
his future than the Browns.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Packers are taking on the Vikings. I'm gonna take the vikings.
They're like, they're liking to play the role of upset specialists.
They're liking to play the role of spoilers. Not that
it's gonna matter the Packers, they're probably gonna be the
seventh seed anyway, but they may not even play their
main guys. Yeah, Jordan Love is still banged up. I'm
gonna take the vikings.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah. The Packers are apparently are likely to sit a
lot of their key players in this game because the
way they're sitting in the schedule, they can't move her
up or down the playoffs. Detroit's eliminated and it's gonna
come down to either the Rams, Niners or Seahawks for
the five to six spots. So the Packers are firmly
playing in the seventh seed. Likely what's gonna happen is
they're gonna set all other starters the Vikings right now,
I was playing more for Pride, and they're gonna have
more of the best players out there, so I'll take
(05:55):
the Vikings as well.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Cowboys are taking on the Giants. The Cowboys are probably undefeated,
and games that don't matter. I'll take the Cowboys in
another game that does not matter.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I mean that matter if if you're paying for playing
for those paychecks.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
But the Cowboys one of they still get the same
paycheck if they win or lose.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Cowboys one of the few teams in NFL history. By
the way, Andy to have the number one scoring offense
and the last place scoring defense. That is absurd, but
it's also it's all. It's also appropriate that they would
end the season five hundred and eight to eight and
one against the New York Giants. I think the Cowboys
win this game, but it's primarily because the Giants are
beat up.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Titans are taking on the Jaguars. The Jaguars need this
win to make sure they win the South and host
a playoff game. The Texans need to win against the
Colts and need the Jags to lose.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I don't think they will.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm I'm going to be rooting heavily for the Titans
because I'd like to see Houston win the division. I
just don't think it's gonna happen. Give me Sunshine in Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Sunshine, Sorry, I mean, I'm gonna give credit what cuiters
due in the last four you know, in the last
four weeks, Andy Cammore eight touchdowns, one interception. They are
two and two in that in that timeframe. Unfortunately, though
they're not. They're playing a Jags team that actually has
something to play for, who's playing really well on defense.
Sunshine has done solid on offense. I'm gonna give him
his credit. He looks more like the twenty twenty two
(07:09):
version of himself. The Jags win this game, and it's
at home, it's gonna be big, probably like like another
twenty point blowout like.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
This, get up half a get up by thirty at
half time and the rest of the guys for the
second half.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Colts are taking on the Texans.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The Colts are just to beat up football team, and
the Texans need to get away. Now here's the thing
the game with what time is the Texans game, is
that it's a noon kick. It's a noon kick, and
so they're gonna know what's going on with Jacksonville. You're
gonna see at the same time, right if Jacksonville gets
out to a big lead, and and it doesn't matter,
(07:43):
but it does matter whether you're the fifth, sixth, or
seventh seed. I think the Texans are gonna play hard.
The Colts are just out of bodies. I'm gonna take
Texans to win at home.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Okay, So Texans is gonna are likely gonna win this game,
like you said, just because it's the Colts are beat up.
And I felt like it was a disservice to Riley Leonard, who,
by the way, was born around the time that Philip
Rivers was still in college. For those who know about
the age disparency. There By the way, this Colts team
started up so strong and the like injury after Injests
passed up for them, and right now the Texans are
(08:16):
one of them. Not the hottest team in the NFL.
We talked about earlier, like the deficiencies they might have
on offense. Obviously the defense has been carrying them. I
don't know how far they're going to go in the playoffs,
but they're definitely gonna win this game.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
So you got the Texans, all right. Jets at Bill's Bills.
Next Lions, HT Bears. Lions are out of the playoffs,
the Bears still need to get the best seed they can.
They're playing at home. It's arrival. I think Chicago wins
relatively easily.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, not only do the Bears have something to play for,
but Andy we talked about this last week. Caleb Williams
needs two hundred and seventy yards to be the first
four thousand yards passer in Bear's history, and five touchdowns
against a beat up secondary like Detroit. He has a shot.
I think he's gonna get the four thousand yard mark
the first time in Bear's history. Watch out for the
touchdown mark as well, because they've never had a thirty
touchdown season either.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
How many yards is he behind now?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
He needs only two hundred and seventy passing yards. He
got three thirty last night.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
He's gonna give it.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
He's gonna all right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Chargers are at the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Jim Harbaugh said most of the starters are not going
to play, so the Broncos wanting to make sure that
they stay number one with a number one seed. I
think they win this game, and they'll play their starters
until the game's decided and then hopefully for their sake,
it is in the third quarter and the bench can
play the rest of the way.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
But I've got Denver.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah. I mean, if the Chargers had anything to play for,
I would probably give them credence because the Charges have
looked pretty good in the last couple of weeks. But
if they're making the which is a typical Harball move
to sit your star as he did the same thing
in San Francisco, then go ahead and just call this
game a wash and just give it to Denver. In
it's in Colorado, it's in Denver anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It is.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Chiefs are taking on the Raiders, neither team making the playoffs,
Raiders trying to get the top seed in the draft.
I think the Chiefs win this game, just they have
a better roster than the Raiders do right now, Gent's
probably the only player that will play, if he plays
at all for the Raiders that the Chiefs would like
to have on their roster.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I just think Kansas City will go out with a win.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I am gonna go with the upset here. I am
taking the home team, the Las Vegas Raiders for three reasons.
Andy Number one, no offense to Chris Aludukun. This ain't
South Florida, I don't. I don't think he played very
well at all the other night. Number two Ashton GenZ.
We're starting to see the emergency of him better late
than never, but I think we're starting to see where
he's supposed to be where he was a boy state
come into this year. And number three because it would
(10:29):
be typical Raiders to have the number one pick locked
up and then to win a meaningless game and to
get knocked away from it to take the best quarterback
prospect possible. So I think the Raiders are going to
do themselves at the service win this game and get
knocked out of the out of the first pick.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Overall, Cardinals are taking on the Rams Rams' Rams next Dolphins, Patriots, Patriots.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Next, that's a bunch of next games.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Cowboy Commander's Eagles. I think you're gonna see the Eagles
sit a bunch of players in this game. They're gonna
it doesn't matter whether they're two or three, they're not
gonna be four.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
And I just kind of think that they want to
make sure they're as healthy as they can be going
into the next week in the playoffs. I'm gonna go
with the Uh. I'm gonna go with the Commanders here
just because I think the Eagles will kind of mail
in the game.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, because I'm looking at it right now. If the
Bears were to lose and the Eagles were to win,
then the Eagles would technically jump the Oh wait, no, wait,
it's because the I forgot. The Bears actually have the
tie breakers, so the Bears have to lose and the
Eagles have to wins. If the Eagles even have the
second seed overall, but based on the time difference, oh no,
they played at the exact same time, so actually the
Eagles might not sit. There's Mike Keepers starters, and yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Doesn't matter if you're the two seed or the three seed.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It depends on if you would rather play, If you'd
rather play the Packers or potentially the Rams.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, but you're gonna get them at home?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah you are. But would you rather put the Packers
the Rams? That's the difference once one has the MVP
and one is a team that's beat up. Uh. I mean,
Philadelphia is still gona win the game, but I was
checking to see if they had anything to play for
out of this one.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
The Commanders are I got I got Philly? You got Philly?
All right?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Uh. The last game, though, is the one that matters
the most on Sunday nights. It is the Ravens and
the Steelers. Now, I had the Ravens in the Super
Bowl at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
How's that looking.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Uh, it's not looking very good.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Too many injuries, too many injuries early where they had
that four game losing streak. I'm gonna take the Steelers
in this game because they're playing at home. I would
not be surprised if the Ravens upset them. But the
question is if the Ravens do beat the Steelers, is
Mike Tomlin the coach on Monday?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
If if the other way, If if it happens the
other way around. Is John Harbaugh the coach?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I think John Harvard is the coach regard yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I think unfortunate my now Pittsburgh and Baltimore in the
same scenario, where like they have coaches that are living
on on Super Bowl's past. I like Baltimore in this
game just because a couple of reasons Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's offensive
line is obviously beat up. We saw that yesterday with
the Browns game, with no DK Metcalf and likely no
Calvin Calvin Austin, Aaron Rodgers was forced to throw it
to guys like uh, the guys like Pat Fryar move
(13:10):
and uh and uh Darnell Washington like he hated all
on a lot of his tight ends, and that offense
is not thrive well. You can only throw two tight
ends and your running backs offenton lines beat up. He
has no one to throw it to Baltimore if nothing
else had ran the ball really well the other day,
even though Tyler Huntley was the starter.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And with all the love, Jackson's questionable for this week too.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Even still Andy, despite that, I would go with the
Ravens because I can't trust what's left of this Pittsburgh offense.
From health or from suspension, whatever else does the reason.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
The metcalf makes a difference.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I like Baltimore to go win and win this game
and and then we then that.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
So that's our pick. So I was.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
We were both eight and seven this past week. So yeah,
you you picked a couple of wild games, and so
did I.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't mind picking the wild game if if i'm
if I'm filing, I don't pick upsets just to pick upsets,
I will pick them.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
If you had the Lions, you lost that one you had.
We both had the Chargers beating the Texans. I didn't
see that coming. We both had the Steelers over the Browns.
We both had Tampa Bay and let's see, you know
I had I actually picked the Dolphins. You had the Bucks.
So that was one that I won, but I lost some.
(14:17):
We both were eight and seven. What's the standings right now, Well,
it's very much in favor of you. It's taking to
playoffsright one hundred yoh yeah, one hundred and fifty four,
one and one, and you're one seventy one eighty eighty
three and one.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
It's a seventeen game.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Oh wow. So at some point during the playoffs it
could be set because if it's only a one game swing. Yeah,
like this week is pretty much's pretty I mean I
basically have.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
To sweep the wild card, sweep the second round, sweep
the third round, and pick the can maybe pick first
before you pick no, I'll pick who over. I think
it's gonna win. But I also need a little bit
of I probably need to have a three or four
game spread this week. And honestly, we don't have that
many teams that we picked differently.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
This week.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
We got forty nine ers, Seahawks that are that's that's different. Oh,
we've got Saints Falcons different and.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I picked the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You picked the Chiefs Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah, a lot of these are pretty much like teams
are gonna rest of starters or it's like it's such
a one sided game, like no offense to the Cardinals,
no offense to.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
The Dolphins, Commanders, Eagles, we've dot we we're disagreeing on.
So we are. You picked the Commanders, I picked the Commanders.
We both picked the Patriots to win. So nothing you
and I picked. Yes, we have five games that we
have a difference in. All right, let's get into some
Spurs discussion. They lost a game to Utah on Saturday night.
(15:37):
That's next five, sixteen on the ticket.
This week, we have a very unique week.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We are off Thursday and Friday for the New Year's holiday. Wednesday,
we've got a whole bunch of play by play stuff
utsa basketball ut football, the Spurs, among other things. So
we're juggling some things around, and the men's basketball game,
normally on ticket on Wednesday, will.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Be on the Bowl ninety three to three.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Then this weekend both the men and the women play
in Philadelphia, and we're going to start at ten thirty
Saturday mornings. So after Shane helps David out with the
golf show, he can just stick around and call and
have a basketball game with us.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I just need to like bring a pillow at some point,
just stay the night.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, there's a couch in here here.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It feels like whenever I'm here, it feels like I'm
here more than I am at home, which feels crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Joined the club.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah you are, well, you're on the road when you're
here anyway. Yeah, well, this time of the year, for sure.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
September to March, you're on the road of lap From
marsh September, you're a lot more where you're.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm here, Yeah, I'm firmly, firmly here we'll see if that. Yeah,
that's kind of the that's kind of the deal U then.
So anyway, because there is no show on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
And which is our reward for having to coming on.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Friday exactly, and Shane and Sam will be here tomorrow,
we got to get to our NFL picks for Week eighteen,
even though Week seventeen's not done yet.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
So here we go NFL picks.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yes, and the first game on the docket is Tampa
Bay and Carolina and I have been on the Baker
Mayfield bandwagon all.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Year long and I'm gonna stick with it.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I know they're one of their last eight games, but
they got to win sometime. They're at home, They've got
the Panthers divisional matchup. I think I'm gonna go with
Tampa Bay to win the South. Now, they're not gonna
last very long when they get to the playoffs, but
they're gonna they're gonna win this game.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You're right, Andy, they do need to win some time,
and that time is next season because I think Carolina
goes in at they run the ball down, this defensive
line which is beat up, and once again, Rice young
A untalked about success story in in I guess would
be his third year here in the NFL. I don't
think it's I don't think it's a particularly highest score
in affair, and I think they probably would lose the
first round because I like all the wildcard teams better
(02:16):
than I like them. But I think they win this game,
and they advanced them into the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
All right, Seahawks are taking on the forty nine Ers.
It's basically the number one seed is up for grabs.
The winners. I think it's going to get it, yep.
So I'm I am surprised at how well the forty
nine ers have played this year without Ayuk, without Deebo, Samuel,
without Bosa, without Eric Williams for a lot of their games.
(02:44):
Fred Warner, Yeah, Fred Warner, I just think they're playing
with polis gold. I'm taking Seattle to win on the
road now. I think that goal is shimmering. I love
San Francisco. I love them at home. I love the
way they brought party.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
By the way ten total touchdown last two weeks to

But I need to sit Seahawks to bring him back

Speaker 1 (03:32):
The Saints are at.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The Falcons in a who cares game, and since I
don't care, I'll just take the Falcons.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I've been a personal Tyler.

gave I'm gonna give his flowers have done a good
job with a second the second round quarterback who I
had no hope for. I think they need some obviously
(04:06):
new pieces on defense. They need a few more weapons
on offense. But this Saints team going to the nature
of the team to watch out for. I think the
Saints win this one all right.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The Browns and Bengals.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Joe Burrow has proven that he can play again, even
though it's kind of a mop up part of the season.
I'm gonna take the Joe Burrow Bengals when he's healthy.
They play well, and Shador may be or may not
be the quarterback next year, but right now, the better
the better of the quarterbacks is Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
A couple of things to watched for in this game
is that, obviously Miles Garrett needs one more sack to
get the all to get the all time single season
sack record against a bait up Bengals offensive line. I
think he might get in up like getting three or four.
To be honest, I I the thing about the Cleveland
game they're saying it is Pittsburgh is Pittsburgh was the
better team, but they had known a throw to they
couldn't find anyone to get open. That's like, that's on you,
DK Metcalf And obviously Calvin Awesome is out for that.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
He's not there.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
And I think in a in a realistic game, the
Steelers win that game nine times. Cincinnati I think wins
this game as well. And I think this is also
gonna be a game also for the Browns to analyze
shador as if they give him another year advanced, because
remember he's a fifth round rookie, so his leash isn't
as long. This is game. This game is more about
his future than the Browns.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Packers are taking on the Vikings. I'm gonna take the vikings.
They're like, they're liking to play the role of upset specialists.
They're liking to play the role of spoilers. Not that
it's gonna matter the Packers, they're probably gonna be the
seventh seed anyway, but they may not even play their
main guys. Yeah, Jordan Love is still banged up. I'm
gonna take the vikings.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah. The Packers are apparently are likely to sit a
lot of their key players in this game because the
way they're sitting in the schedule, they can't move her
up or down the playoffs. Detroit's eliminated and it's gonna
come down to either the Rams, Niners or Seahawks for
the five to six spots. So the Packers are firmly
playing in the seventh seed. Likely what's gonna happen is
they're gonna set all other starters the Vikings right now,
I was playing more for Pride, and they're gonna have
more of the best players out there, so I'll take
(05:55):
the Vikings as well.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Cowboys are taking on the Giants. The Cowboys are probably undefeated,
and games that don't matter. I'll take the Cowboys in
another game that does not matter.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I mean that matter if if you're paying for playing
for those paychecks.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
But the Cowboys one of they still get the same
paycheck if they win or lose.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Cowboys one of the few teams in NFL history. By
the way, Andy to have the number one scoring offense
and the last place scoring defense. That is absurd, but
it's also it's all. It's also appropriate that they would
end the season five hundred and eight to eight and
one against the New York Giants. I think the Cowboys
win this game, but it's primarily because the Giants are
beat up.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Titans are taking on the Jaguars. The Jaguars need this
win to make sure they win the South and host
a playoff game. The Texans need to win against the
Colts and need the Jags to lose.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I don't think they will.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm I'm going to be rooting heavily for the Titans
because I'd like to see Houston win the division. I
just don't think it's gonna happen. Give me Sunshine in Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Sunshine, Sorry, I mean, I'm gonna give credit what cuiters
due in the last four you know, in the last
four weeks, Andy Cammore eight touchdowns, one interception. They are
two and two in that in that timeframe. Unfortunately, though
they're not. They're playing a Jags team that actually has
something to play for, who's playing really well on defense.
Sunshine has done solid on offense. I'm gonna give him
his credit. He looks more like the twenty twenty two
(07:09):
version of himself. The Jags win this game, and it's
at home, it's gonna be big, probably like like another
twenty point blowout like.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
This, get up half a get up by thirty at
half time and the rest of the guys for the
second half.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Colts are taking on the Texans.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The Colts are just to beat up football team, and
the Texans need to get away. Now here's the thing
the game with what time is the Texans game, is
that it's a noon kick. It's a noon kick, and
so they're gonna know what's going on with Jacksonville. You're
gonna see at the same time, right if Jacksonville gets
out to a big lead, and and it doesn't matter,
(07:43):
but it does matter whether you're the fifth, sixth, or
seventh seed. I think the Texans are gonna play hard.
The Colts are just out of bodies. I'm gonna take
Texans to win at home.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Okay, So Texans is gonna are likely gonna win this game,
like you said, just because it's the Colts are beat up.
And I felt like it was a disservice to Riley Leonard, who,
by the way, was born around the time that Philip
Rivers was still in college. For those who know about
the age disparency. There By the way, this Colts team
started up so strong and the like injury after Injests
passed up for them, and right now the Texans are
(08:16):
one of them. Not the hottest team in the NFL.
We talked about earlier, like the deficiencies they might have
on offense. Obviously the defense has been carrying them. I
don't know how far they're going to go in the playoffs,
but they're definitely gonna win this game.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
So you got the Texans, all right. Jets at Bill's Bills.
Next Lions, HT Bears. Lions are out of the playoffs,
the Bears still need to get the best seed they can.
They're playing at home. It's arrival. I think Chicago wins
relatively easily.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, not only do the Bears have something to play for,
but Andy we talked about this last week. Caleb Williams
needs two hundred and seventy yards to be the first
four thousand yards passer in Bear's history, and five touchdowns
against a beat up secondary like Detroit. He has a shot.
I think he's gonna get the four thousand yard mark
the first time in Bear's history. Watch out for the
touchdown mark as well, because they've never had a thirty
touchdown season either.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
How many yards is he behind now?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
He needs only two hundred and seventy passing yards. He
got three thirty last night.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
He's gonna give it.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
He's gonna all right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Chargers are at the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Jim Harbaugh said most of the starters are not going
to play, so the Broncos wanting to make sure that
they stay number one with a number one seed. I
think they win this game, and they'll play their starters
until the game's decided and then hopefully for their sake,
it is in the third quarter and the bench can
play the rest of the way.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
But I've got Denver.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah. I mean, if the Chargers had anything to play for,
I would probably give them credence because the Charges have
looked pretty good in the last couple of weeks. But
if they're making the which is a typical Harball move
to sit your star as he did the same thing
in San Francisco, then go ahead and just call this
game a wash and just give it to Denver. In
it's in Colorado, it's in Denver anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It is.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Chiefs are taking on the Raiders, neither team making the playoffs,
Raiders trying to get the top seed in the draft.
I think the Chiefs win this game, just they have
a better roster than the Raiders do right now, Gent's
probably the only player that will play, if he plays
at all for the Raiders that the Chiefs would like
to have on their roster.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I just think Kansas City will go out with a win.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I am gonna go with the upset here. I am
taking the home team, the Las Vegas Raiders for three reasons.
Andy Number one, no offense to Chris Aludukun. This ain't
South Florida, I don't. I don't think he played very
well at all the other night. Number two Ashton GenZ.
We're starting to see the emergency of him better late
than never, but I think we're starting to see where
he's supposed to be where he was a boy state
come into this year. And number three because it would
(10:29):
be typical Raiders to have the number one pick locked
up and then to win a meaningless game and to
get knocked away from it to take the best quarterback
prospect possible. So I think the Raiders are going to
do themselves at the service win this game and get
knocked out of the out of the first pick.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Overall, Cardinals are taking on the Rams Rams' Rams next Dolphins, Patriots, Patriots.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Next, that's a bunch of next games.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Cowboy Commander's Eagles. I think you're gonna see the Eagles
sit a bunch of players in this game. They're gonna
it doesn't matter whether they're two or three, they're not
gonna be four.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
And I just kind of think that they want to
make sure they're as healthy as they can be going
into the next week in the playoffs. I'm gonna go
with the Uh. I'm gonna go with the Commanders here
just because I think the Eagles will kind of mail
in the game.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, because I'm looking at it right now. If the
Bears were to lose and the Eagles were to win,
then the Eagles would technically jump the Oh wait, no, wait,
it's because the I forgot. The Bears actually have the
tie breakers, so the Bears have to lose and the
Eagles have to wins. If the Eagles even have the
second seed overall, but based on the time difference, oh no,
they played at the exact same time, so actually the
Eagles might not sit. There's Mike Keepers starters, and yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Doesn't matter if you're the two seed or the three seed.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It depends on if you would rather play, If you'd
rather play the Packers or potentially the Rams.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, but you're gonna get them at home?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah you are. But would you rather put the Packers
the Rams? That's the difference once one has the MVP
and one is a team that's beat up. Uh. I mean,
Philadelphia is still gona win the game, but I was
checking to see if they had anything to play for
out of this one.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
The Commanders are I got I got Philly? You got Philly?
All right?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Uh. The last game, though, is the one that matters
the most on Sunday nights. It is the Ravens and
the Steelers. Now, I had the Ravens in the Super
Bowl at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
How's that looking.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Uh, it's not looking very good.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Too many injuries, too many injuries early where they had
that four game losing streak. I'm gonna take the Steelers
in this game because they're playing at home. I would
not be surprised if the Ravens upset them. But the
question is if the Ravens do beat the Steelers, is
Mike Tomlin the coach on Monday?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
If if the other way, If if it happens the
other way around. Is John Harbaugh the coach?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I think John Harvard is the coach regard yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I think unfortunate my now Pittsburgh and Baltimore in the
same scenario, where like they have coaches that are living
on on Super Bowl's past. I like Baltimore in this
game just because a couple of reasons Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's offensive
line is obviously beat up. We saw that yesterday with
the Browns game, with no DK Metcalf and likely no
Calvin Calvin Austin, Aaron Rodgers was forced to throw it
to guys like uh, the guys like Pat Fryar move
(13:10):
and uh and uh Darnell Washington like he hated all
on a lot of his tight ends, and that offense
is not thrive well. You can only throw two tight
ends and your running backs offenton lines beat up. He
has no one to throw it to Baltimore if nothing
else had ran the ball really well the other day,
even though Tyler Huntley was the starter.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And with all the love, Jackson's questionable for this week too.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Even still Andy, despite that, I would go with the
Ravens because I can't trust what's left of this Pittsburgh offense.
From health or from suspension, whatever else does the reason.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
The metcalf makes a difference.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I like Baltimore to go win and win this game
and and then we then that.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
So that's our pick. So I was.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
We were both eight and seven this past week. So yeah,
you you picked a couple of wild games, and so
did I.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't mind picking the wild game if if i'm
if I'm filing, I don't pick upsets just to pick upsets,
I will pick them.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
If you had the Lions, you lost that one you had.
We both had the Chargers beating the Texans. I didn't
see that coming. We both had the Steelers over the Browns.
We both had Tampa Bay and let's see, you know
I had I actually picked the Dolphins. You had the Bucks.
So that was one that I won, but I lost some.
(14:17):
We both were eight and seven. What's the standings right now, Well,
it's very much in favor of you. It's taking to
playoffsright one hundred yoh yeah, one hundred and fifty four,
one and one, and you're one seventy one eighty eighty
three and one.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
It's a seventeen game.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Oh wow. So at some point during the playoffs it
could be set because if it's only a one game swing. Yeah,
like this week is pretty much's pretty I mean I
basically have.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
To sweep the wild card, sweep the second round, sweep
the third round, and pick the can maybe pick first
before you pick no, I'll pick who over. I think
it's gonna win. But I also need a little bit
of I probably need to have a three or four
game spread this week. And honestly, we don't have that
many teams that we picked differently.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
This week.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
We got forty nine ers, Seahawks that are that's that's different. Oh,
we've got Saints Falcons different and.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I picked the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You picked the Chiefs Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah, a lot of these are pretty much like teams
are gonna rest of starters or it's like it's such
a one sided game, like no offense to the Cardinals,
no offense to.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
The Dolphins, Commanders, Eagles, we've dot we we're disagreeing on.
So we are. You picked the Commanders, I picked the Commanders.
We both picked the Patriots to win. So nothing you
and I picked. Yes, we have five games that we
have a difference in. All right, let's get into some
Spurs discussion. They lost a game to Utah on Saturday night.
(15:37):
That's next five, sixteen on the ticket.
