Speaker 3 (00:41):
In, Shane.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
They're all here, they're all waking Brady Bunch. Yeah, I
know right, No, it's not the Brady Bunch. You know
it gets white people. I'm just saying this his but
you know what it is though. You know what it
is now?

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Though?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (00:52):
What is? It is?

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Week twelve of the NFL. Ah, We're gonna get you your.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Picks because Vegas is acting crazy, so why not be
a little fanatics on our picks. So we're gonna kick
off with the newon Games. We'll finish it with the
Cowboys Eagles.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
We'll talk a little bit more about the Cowboys Eagles
after this. Uh, but first up, you've got the uh
Jake E. Te Yes Jets, Jets Jets flying down to Baltimore.
Is this a game, Shane?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
It is for Baltimore because I don't know if you
saw Tyrod Taylor, he's gonna he's gonna be starting. Also,
Garrett Wilson's on IR and really there's really right now Baltimore,
even though they have an easier schedule, they're also just
playing better on both sides of the ball.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
I gotta give them the credit, what credits due? Baltimore
wins it.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Do you ever think that like Baltimore, you know, when
you played pick up basketball, I'll spotch of fifteen points,
like the Baltimore Ravens at the beginning Season's like, oh
I scotching four losses and.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Now now we're gonna come play is teasing about being bad?
Baltimore wins this one big time.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
In Chicago, you've got the Bears hosting the Aaron Rodger
Liss Pittsburgh Steelers as Rudolph will be guiding their way.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Did you see his mustache?

Speaker 1 (02:10):
They were showing them in warm ups earlier? Who you
got Steelers Bears?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I don't like how the single mustache myself was making
a comeback.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
I like it is weird, especially because that's that was
a tech thing first.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
But regardless, even though Okahma State once again is trying
to copy Texas tech, I think in this game, I
think the big difference in it is obviously going to
be Pittsburgh front seven versus.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Chicago's offensive line. The offensive line has.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Been playing better this year, but Pittsburgh, as you saw
against the Indeapolis Colts, they know how to cover all
the gaps with their front seven. I think even though
the Bears by far the better offense, Caleb Johnson and
Ben Johnson, Sorry Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson a match made
in Heaven.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
I actually like Pittsburgh in an upset.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
In this one. Wow, I'm gonna pick the Bears. You
know why? I don't like Williams and like ay the
Pittsburgh quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
No, I don't know, because that's Oklahoma State and.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
You don't know what's weird you know nothing against Will Howard,
but you can find a.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Reason, though, I can find something.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
After that, You've got the Cincinnati Bengals, who are three
and seven and on life support, having the hottest team
I think in the AFC, the New England Patriots, and
Drake May has made the conversation hand has entered my
chat as an MVP candidate.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Who do you got?

Speaker 4 (03:18):
I mean, I think, Rightfley, you should.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Right now, I would say Matt Stafford should be the
lead candidate for MVP. But somehow, someway, the Colts, the
Broncos and the Patriots are all tops in their and
their division.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
That weird and well not if it's twenty thirteen.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
But in this case, I would say the problem with
the Bengals is they're hurt, they're beat up. Joe Burrow's
not gonna play until Thanksgiving, and so I ain't given
the Bengals the bandmit of the doubt.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Give me Patriots, dude, Give me the Patriots all day
on this when they're just gonna blast out of Cincinnati,
they're gonna have some skyline Chile and just go back
home to New England for that New England play shouda
after that You've got the Detroit Lions hosting the New
York Giants and always saying the Giants were back after
their second win of the season, and all is lost

(04:01):
now in Giant Land. And what do you have in
this one? Should we even ask you?

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Shane?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
No Jackson, Dart, numb blink, neighbors, no camp Scattabooz, no
head coach, no way, Yeah, give me the Lions after
this one.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
I think this is gonna be an interesting one. In
Green Bay, you've got the Minnesota Vikings, who were kind
of like that spaismatic group. You don't know what you're
gonna get each week, right, And then you've got the
Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Look, they ain't reliable.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Don't put a win on the shelf because if it's
a crappy team, they might just lose it. This is
gonna be an interesting afternoon matchup Bikings, Packers.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Who do you have?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I don't disagree that Minnesota is kind of a Hodgepodge team,
because there's some weeks the offense under Jjim McCarthy looks effective.
He's getting the ball out to Addison and Jefferson and
he's actually.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Able to run the ball well with his legs, but
the offensive.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Line has been has been kind of beat up, even
though the center, by the way, Ryan Kelly starting center.
He's back from my r so that'll help a little bit.
And Green Bay their offenses look kind of bad the
last couple of weeks. And the problem is like each
team's weakness is also a from this game. So just
based on advantage of being at home, I'm gonna pick
the Packers.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
But I think it might be one. It might be
a one or two point game.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
You could be wrong, though, you know, look, man, it's
a divisional game. Vikings are sitting fourth, Packers are sitting second.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
You know, you just can't afford to lose something.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
But I just think the home crowd, and I think
the weather comes into the factor because obviously Minnesota they
don't play in the weather anymore, they'd.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Haven't in a long long time. Give me Green Bay
in this one.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
But I'm with you, I think it's gonna be a
one to two point.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Game after that.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
If I said this two years ago, this is an
easy pick.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
The Colts versus the Chiefs, I'm saying it now.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
The Colts flying into Kansas City for some KC barbecue today,
what do you got in this one?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Just based on desperation, I feel like the Chiefs need
to win this game. I like that they got their
starting tackle back, justin Josh Simmons back.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
That's helped the blindside. The offense has been kind of stale.
Travis Kelce I think is I think questionable for this game.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
OK.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
But even still, the receiving corp has been kind of
reluctant in recent weeks. It started off well, guys at
tackwon Thornton, We're getting deep, Xavier Worthy came back where
she Rice came back like they were getting guys out there,
and now recently they've been kind of met to put
it at best, I think what's gonna help this is
obviously gonna be their defense.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
I don't expect to be a lot of points.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
It might be like a twenty one or twenty four
to seventeen type of win, but I'll take Kanness City
at home.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I mean, you could be right, you know, tomorrow morning
we could all be talking about how Kansas City is
this team, because I think everybody.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Wants to push the Colts.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Off the ledge every week, and the Colts keep coming back.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Their owner is doing something amazing there.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
You know what else?

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Huh, the state of Indiana is Michael Jackson territory and
they did not take kindly to people comparing Taylor Swift.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
To Michael Jackson. Oh, that also factors into it.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Oh so we got a Michael Jackson Taylor Swift battle.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Unfortunately. I don't think tayl SWFs should begins aaron to
Michael Jackson.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
But it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Guess what, pick Kiss, give me the Colts to beat
the Chiefs today, because I think the Colts are legit
and you better start taking the real And guess what Texans.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Fans, that's who's going to win your division, not you.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
After that, you've got the Seahawks and the Titans, oh dear, which,
by the way, the Texans barely won.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
We all know the Seahawks are gonna win this one.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I still hope for cam Wore, but they need to
get him a new offensive coordinator, a new coach, and
some more weapons.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
There's not a lot for him there.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Chris cast in here, by the way, he's saying Colt's thirty.
One's Chiefs thirty. He's putting down the numbers like that.
I like that.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Keep the numbers coming on Facebook Live.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
After that, you've got the Arizona Cardinals and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Look,
Jacksonville impressed me last week, Shane. We both picked them
to lose to get in Ellen du.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah they didn't. They beat the crap out of them Chargers.
Today they have the Cardinals.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
What do you got the Cardinals for some reason, they're
bottoming out right after the Cowboys game, even though they
start off the season strong despite close losses.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
I wish the Cowboys could have played them this Cardinals team.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Because I feel like this Cowboys team would beat them.
But the Cardinals right now are on maybe the biggest
downwards up of any team not named Las Vegas Raiders,
which we get to here in a second.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I got Jacksonville.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, I've got Jacksonville in this one. Again.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
They're gonna be sticking around. You know that AFC South
Besides Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
It's anybody's race right there. And in the worst game
ever this Sunday burst the Browns and.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
We've all said that we've dropped the Browns off at
the Super Bowl before.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
It's also the Raiders. Who do you have in this one?
And do we care I got the Browns.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
I think that in nothing else, the Browns still have
a really good defense. And even though I still have
questions about Shador, I don't like the way you played
the last week, I'm gonna give him the benefit of dow.
I'm just gonna assume they minimize the game planform in
his first start, hand the ball off to Quinn Shawn
Judkins and quick passes outside to David and Joku. By
the way, nineteen straight quarterbacks have made their first start.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
You know what the record is for those games?

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Huh oh in nineteen.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
I think that ends today because the Raiders, to me,
are worse.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
First of all, if you're watching this game one eight
hundred gambler, you have an issue, I think, and the.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Issue is you're out of money.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
I don't even I don't even want to give a
pick in this one. I'll be honest with you. But
you know what, I'm gonna go with ties team. I'm
gonna go with the Browns. I don't know you times.
You know after that.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
You've got the three twenty five games, and of course,
like I told you, we'll come back to the Cowboy Eagles.
But you got the Saints Falcons This one is actually
interesting just because their records are very similar.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
It's a rivalry game. It's in New Orleans, and who
do you.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Have and no Michael Pennick Junior, he's out for the years.
Frank London, number one receiver, he's out for this game.
I like a lot of the defensive editions that they
made through the draft of the Falcons, but they have
almost nothing on offense left. You know, they're gonna just
hand the ball off to be John Robinson and New
Orleans for what they have.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
They could key up and at least stop him. I
got New Orleans in this.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Game for the first time this season. I will now
do this.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Who that who that?

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Who?

Speaker 3 (09:49):
That they gonna beat? Damn Saints.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Saints win this one because they just hate the Falcons
in New Orleans and that's a party down there.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
So give me the Saints to win. Under said, underrated.
It is dirty.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
There's a statue outside in New Orleans attributing and contributing
this rivalry.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
This is huge. This is for the Saints, This is
for Saints Nation. Give me the Saints.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
After that, you've got a good old Baker Mayfield visiting
his friends who gave him a shot a rebirth in
the NFL on Sunday Night Football.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Now here's the guy. You've got the Rams and the Bucks.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Can the Bucks kind of get out of this rut
lately they've been losing some games. Here is Baker gonna
get revamped again.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
And I love LA. Who do you got?

Speaker 4 (10:36):
First of all? I love I love that song. You
just did whatever I get call that.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Sean McVay actually has one of the highest winning percentages
among primetime games. He's only lost one time, by the way,
on Thursday. For those that didn't know, not only that,
it's in La, It's in the Dome. Matt Stafford. Matt
Stafford is right now. I think the league MVP twenty
seven touchdowns to two interceptions, completing almost seventy percent asses.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Give me the Rams.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I like it too, But you know what, Baker in No,
give me the Rams in this one. They're gonna win
that one after that. In Monday Night Football, we're traveling
to San fran where you've got the Bang Bang Niner
Gang taking on the surprise surprise here Carolina Panthers. Huge
kind of here in the UH divisional race between the

(11:25):
Panthers and the Bucks. Because if the Bucks lose the
Panthers wish oh oh.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
We got a change in momentum? Uh oh? Who do
you got in this one?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
The problem with this one is that I feel like
the Niners have been have been overcoming a lot of
injuries and.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Stuff like that, and they've been able to get past it.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
But in this game, in this game, I'm gonna go
with the upstar team.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
I'm gonna go with the upset. I'm gonna go with Carolina.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I'm gonna go with Bryce Young, the reigning offensive and
the offensive player of league four hundred forty eight yards
and three touchdowns. I'm gonna go with Rico Doable average
over one hundreds per game. I'm gonna go with the
number seven rushing attack in the NFL against against the
seven sco defense, which, honestly, the spite me beat up
has overachieved. I don't care that it's in Candlestick. Give
me Carolina.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I like this. And here's the thing. Both of these
teams I've picked against you a lot. I'm starting to
believe in the Panthers.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
I'm all in.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
What's going on with me? They're gonna key Monday night
Prime Time? How long has it been for you. How
long has it been? Give me Carolina to win this
game and of course the game that's coming down this
afternoon and you can catch me by the way on
the Trending with Trudy Show Live podcast over at the Hollow.
Please come out support you get some we're giving away
for something. We're giving away a lot of things, show something.

(12:39):
If you know your trivia, you should come on out
pack the Hollow. It's a great time. Come on out
there today. But you've got the Eagles the Cowboys, and
be careful. It looks like the Eagles are wearing their
old school green. Who cares chew the dome. You got
the Cowboys who kind of impressed everybody, I guess because
you beat the Raiders.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
But this is your true test, Shane, who do you have?

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Nine to five That is Dak Prescott's career record as
a start against the Eagles, twenty four and eight. So
that's his touchdown interception ratio in his career against them.
The Cowboys with six new editions, and by the way,
I do count the loss of Mazzie Smith and now
Kyrie Elam as an addition, a one whole edition plus
the return of Mollie Cooker, plus the return to marvinoversh

(13:23):
And plus the emergence of Shabonnabil, plus the addition of
Quentin Williams and Logan Wilson. This Cowboys team two weeks ago,
I would say they're not beating the Eagles. This Cowboys team,
they are beating them. Then. Fun fact, fun fact, the
last time that Dak Prescott actually lost a home game
against the Eagles, you know when that was.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
Twenty seventeen.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, So I'm not being against Dak and the Cowboys
at home against the Eagles. The Cowboys win and they
going to Thanksgiving still after the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I think it's smart. I think the experts see this game.
I think you go back to Game one in Philly
and I get it.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's Week one, know what you're talking about? No, no, no, no, no,
They're up for this game. Pickens seed.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
He's not gonna have the same performance he did in
Week one.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Trust that. Now.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Thankfully there's no clubs out there and they won't be suspended.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
But I like Dallas today.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
I like it because you know why, of the pickups
that we've gotten, Jerry has done stunt under the raidar
that we have not seen yep. Now, is it gonna
be a blowout? No, it's not. Does the defense need
to step up? Yes, it comes down to running today. Look,
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles they're not really getting along

(14:37):
too well.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Make them buckle. That's what you do.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
This is November football, remember November, and.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
You've gotta get this win today.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Give me the Cowboys twenty seven, give me the Eagles
twenty four.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Okay, you got the score in there.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
And by the way, the Eagles offensive line Cam Jurgens
is gonna play, but he's dealing with injury.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Lannon Dickerson, he's gonna play.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
He's dealing with injury.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Lane Johnson Yokahoma Center, he is out.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
So eat pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, And like Chris Caster says,
cry Eagles, Cry go Cowboys.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
And we're talking Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
No, that's it.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
That's Week twelve of the NFL.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
So coming up next, we're going to little basketball, right,
are we going basketball? Here? We go a little basketball here,
We're gonna go a little basketball. And the bantering that's
going on in the NBA and the NBA Cup. There's
a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Going on in the NBA. I don't like it, we'll
talk about it. Fanatics take it. Seven sixty
