Speaker 2 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome in Side hour two Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon. Friday, Baby, it's football weekend.
Kind of a kind of a glass half full day
for the state of Kansas. Kansas on national television. I mean,
if you if you have ESPN, they lose Kansas State
on National TV. Everybody's got whoah.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
But if you didn't get to see it, does the
wind count doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You can just say you won. If no one saw it,
you could just say you want.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Just in general, I mean, you know, going back to
that philosophical but aren't we all. I mean, the fact
that you're able to have the conversation you've won in
some respect.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That's why they're not gonna televise Colorado games because if
they keep losing that's bad. But you can easily watch
a press conference and not really think or know if
they won or lost. And if you say, Dean, didn't
you guys lose by four touchdowns? Did you see the game?
Did you see the game? Do you believe? Do you
think that happened? Well, no, I don't. I don't, so
you don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I would say this if you listen to Shaduur. He
he's got a lot of tells. The poker playing side
of him is not there yet in terms of, you know,
keeping calm and moving forward. Big battle tomorrow though we
talked a lot about smack talking yesterday at the NFL
level and collegiate that's one of the games. We'll have
our eyes on Colorado State, a seven and a half
(01:41):
point dog in that one. Shaduur Sanders and seeing what
the offense can do, whether he gets rid of the
ball quickly enough and they stop blaming their offensive line. Meanwhile,
his brother broke his arm last week. I know, I
know it's gonna be out like three four weeks. Crazy
how it goes.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So again, big weekend ahead of us in college football,
We're gonna preview more of the big games coming up
big night in baseball as well, Diamondbacks and Padres trying
to keep pace with the Mets and the Braves, who
both won earlier tonight. So we're getting there.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Aaron Judge finally at a home run I know, came
in on August twenty fifth.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
No, I think I think it's the last time one
was like July said, now now he's now, he's now.
It's like, oh he's oh he's he may not get
to whoa, whoa, he may not. Oh oh yeah, that
that big home run season might have happened Faron Judge anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Didn't they make fun of like he was on did
a voice thing for some cartoon and and that was
the the curse that.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Came on him? Oh oh maybe did he do it
like Late Night with the Devil like that shit the
movies there, that's a good movie I enjoy. Yeah. All
of a sudden, like it's like, hey, Judge might top
out it like fifty eight home runs. Suddenly that sixty
five home run season's gone. It's not happening. That's just it.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
We get all excited about the potential for these big numbers,
like yeah, it didn't quite do Yeah, wait a minute,
he was he was in a Pall Patrol.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Spin off fall Judge. Yeah, okay, and ever since that aired,
he didn't hit a home run. Oh the Paul Patrol Power,
Andy Grimmace or somebody from McDonald's family. I think this
dog took it. I mean he's a handsome little son
of it.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Okay, all right, but I think I mean, look at
that smile, like he knows it's a happy dog.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
He's Judge next to it, next to a not happy dog.
Why wouldn't you? Why would you do that? He's fierce,
not gonna do that to Aaron Judge. Why I'd put
him next to a big dog? Look at Aaron Judge.
He's next to a big dog.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So he can ride like a shetling poet, you know,
like a dalmation. No, they can jump on and ride
to the rescue.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It looked like Game of Thrones, like here's like here's
a big knight on a dragon. You know this we
just took another spin off of Paul Patrol and a
whole other dres. I got a baseball bat instead of
a lance and like can come back to him like
it's a boomerang, and we do it like, yeah, the baseball.
That's like you used to have that, you'd throw it
on the string.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, and the dog can breathe fire, because you know,
of course you gotta have that, right, little nikky, Fire
and ice. The dog can do both fire and ice.
Yeah yeah, see that's to show ice. That's a whole
other weapon. That's I don't think we use enough. You know,
let's have the dragons, but you know, I've seen enough
of dragons with five about dragons with ice. Let's do
that instead, because.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You get the frozen face of fear, where as opposed
to just disintegrating a guy. I mean, you can only
do so much with that.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah no, no, sure, yeah, yeah I know. But here
now we got frozen guys. Well one's his expression. And
if you kill a guy, eventually you can fall him out.
I always gott to thaw him out. And now he's
a bad guy. We've walt Disney out of I'm just oh, whoa, whoa,
you went over the line, over the over the line,
over the line. Just jump say you thaw out a
fictional character. Okay, fictional character. Oh but they want to
(04:40):
go down a rabbit hole. Why they named the frozen frozen?
Why Doesney name the movie that. Yeah, you want to
go down a rabbit hole, you know exactly. But they
is about minute. Let's go with week two in the
NFL upon us. How about Mike and I give you
some pics. We take a look at some of the
biggest games on the docket on Sunday and tell you
how it's gonna go. And let me say this first.
(05:02):
I'm gonna make you feel good. Tell you I'm gonna
say this first. I just want to say let me
let me say because you're gonna say, you're gonna be
mad at me, You're gonna be upset. No, nothing, he
hurt me with his word. No, no, no, that was
jerky boys. Initially I was hurt by his words and
(05:23):
then I suffered an injury. Oh okay, okay, mister Rosenberg,
mister Rosenberg, mister yes, yes, I'm sorry. Yes you say
thirty five seventy eighth Street, Yes, mister Rosenberg. Yeah, this
is where people went full pharmacist.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
In the Simpsons, Jack tours to r uh huh or
family guy, family guy.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, this is where people will start believing. Fully wait in.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
The Bears, whoa whoa Sunday is a big game, right,
Bears in the Texans time time.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Everybody expects, oh the Texans look offensively. They had no problems.
Week one. It was a great game. That Indianapolis game
was a phenomenal game. What a great back and forth
to Fon Diggs is showing that I still love stuff
left in the tank. You have a lot of talented
receivers in Houston to for the point where all right,
maybe Dalton Schultz is gonna be the guy left out
because Tank Dell's gonna get the tank. Dell's gonnaet ball.
(06:17):
Nico Collins, you know, is gonna get balls, and Stefan
Diggs because like I think he hasn't his contract. You
absolutely have to throw to him a certain number of
times in the game or you have to give a
million dollars. So I think that's part of his contract.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Did they just put the million dollars on the sideline
under glass and then there's a security guard standard.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's a million dollars, Like you have to throw him
at least eight times, and if you throw to him
four times, that's four million dollars. You know, what's the count?
What's the count? Get those fours up? Why are we
throwing the ball we gonna do is kneel on the
ball to win. We gotta throw to them. We got
I don't want to pay four million dollars. What are
those signals between c J. Stroud and the OC. It's
him telling him how many more times he has to
throw it to Diggs. But I am obviously I'm more.
(06:57):
I'm higher on the Bears than a lot of people
after last week. Caleb Williams is going to be fine.
He's first game in the NFL. Guess what he won.
A lot of guys don't win their first game. A
lot of top draft picks don't win. Could he have
played better? Absolutely, But this is a guy who I'm
watching him play Game one.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I go.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
He just has to let it fly. And once he
lets it fly and he trust his instincts, he's going
to be fine. It was an okay game for him
to get in and play. And I'm sure the game
plans a little bit close to the vest because the Bears,
and this is where it's going to turn for the Bears,
because the Bears know, hey, our defense is going to
be able to control a lot and so we can
slowly open things up for Caleb Williams. A little bit more.
(07:36):
He's going to be just fine. I know if you
start him in fantasy in a two quarterback league. Look
I did, You're not happy, you seven, But here's the
thing you're gonna see on Sunday night. Caleb Williams will
play better. But the story of the game is going
to be the Bears defense. What did I tell you?
Was the only thing that I was worried about them
being a top five unit? Well, only one thing. No, look,
the Bears. The only thing was will the defensive backs
(07:59):
be really good out of the gate because they haven't
had enough time to play together and that and that's
a big thing with guys being out newside. Everything else.
That was the only thing. Because this is a top
five defense after last week, I'm pretty happy with what
I saw from the Bears.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Well, no, I am pretty happy. Well, I tried to
lay your fears on that side. For me is when
and if the offense clicks right, because you got a
lot of names, like a lot of name and star power.
The thing that really look as the Chicago guy Bears fan,
whatever you want to do, but taking it objectively, I
didn't like their play calling out early downs in terms
(08:34):
of trying to create and push the ball a bit, right,
you're looking at the run game was stymied, so you're
getting into a lot of second and longs, and for
for a rookie quarterback that that's not winning football, right.
You gotta gotta give him some easy opportunities and set
him up for you know, second and short. Let a
couple more design runs, right, he's elusive, don't let him
(08:57):
run backwards like he did. That was your welcome to
the NFL speed moment of Well, I can't turn because
that guy's already heat.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Normally I would have eight yards of separation, way more
time for that now that I've destroyed.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
But between Stevenson who had the big return, and of
course you know Jalen Johnson who's pissed off that he
didn't wasn't in the top one hundred players, right, that
carried all off season.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Sure, I don't know that it like other.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Than video game ratings, this is the most somebody will
ranking that.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Anybody's other people that are upset about not being where
they are in the top hundred. It at I know.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
So he's really salty about this, But defensively, I felt
pretty good, you know, A well quaffed E refluced that
side of things and with Eric Washington that they were
going to be fine offensively. It looks like a doonsday
is going to be able to go. Keenan Allen, even
with the heel injury, looks like he's going to be
able to go. I would expect more from the other
(09:54):
running backs. Swift will have his breakout opportunities, but I
think you're going to see more of Roshawn Johnson and
Khalil Herbert to where you play a little more battering
Rams style, try to soften up the underbelly of the
Texan defense. Yeah, I think this is a good one.
Texans six and a half point faired. I'll take the
Bears at the point. I'll think they win this all.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Take the Bears on the field, and the story of
the day is going to be hang on. This Bears
defense is really Forget about the Jets. We've talked about
them in the Nines. This Bears defense is absolutely outstanding.
Who can slow down c J. Stroud and these wideouts?
This is gonna be the story of the game Bears
(10:33):
went on the field. I would take the points too,
but dig that Bears win on the field. In a shocker.
How about that?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, yeah, our guy Ian Roddy in for Justin Prossberg
tonight as executive producer in our I watched Flex podcast
that was the streaming d They were available at a
little over fifty percent of leagues in week one fifty points.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, not available anymore. No, no, no, no,
shouldn't have been anyway. There's lots of leagues where you know,
everybody has one defense and there's fifteen or sixteen defenses
depending on because every plays the matchups now defenses like
no one, I'm gonna keep rolling out this team every
I'm gonna stream and do that.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
How many of you thinks streamed against the Jets.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
New Orleans and Dallas? This is gonna be the definition
of an artificial bump, right, Like we see that when
we go through We've been going through that with politics
this last year. Hey, is Trump gonna get an artificial
bump from the RNC? Is Kamala Harris gonna get an
artificial bump from the DNC? What kind of bumps are
coming to? And they're all artificial because it's Hey, it's
(11:34):
about excitement. And then the bump comes back because okay,
this is about policy and different things. And this is
the definition of this game because the Cowboys are gonna
get such an artificial bump after they beat the crap
out of the Saints, because the Saints are no good. Okay,
the Saints are terrible, make no mistake about it. But
it's just that the Panthers are absolutely worse. Like this
(11:56):
was that moneyball line. Here's all the rich teams like
the Cowboys. Here's where most other teams are like the Saints.
Then there's fifty feet a crap and then under we
got the Panthers. Right, that's what it was. The Saints
are terrible, make no mistake about it. It looks great
because they were playing a team that is absolutely awful
and I can't believe they lost that bet. The Cowboys
are on that that high to begin the season of
(12:19):
Ceedee Lamb gets paid, Dak Prescott gets paid, they win
Week one. Hey, it's good feeling. I said from the beginning.
Dallas is gonna start out the season fantastic. Right, They're
gonna be pissed because of the contract situation, and they're
gonna start out big. Hey, the contract's got sold, but
Dallas will start out big. They'll be two and oh
and it's gonna be maybe the Cowboys are better, maybe
(12:39):
Jerry Jones is all in its improvements the Cowboys made
from within. It's none of that. This is the Cowboys
being two and oh playing a team that's no good,
that beat a team that just happened to be worse.
Cowboys will win big and they'll get that artificial bump.
But still it's good for the Cowboys. They'll be two
and oh. Were talking about them. Hey, we're in the conversation, Dak.
I want to be the MVP. I want to win
to and the Cowboys stay top of mind. But it's
(13:02):
an artificial bump win for them because that's where that's
the that's the reality of their win, what they'll have
this week.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
This was a curiosity in terms of the line total
is forty seven. Cowboys are only a six or six
and a half point favorite currently. And look, I put
it on our board that we have here in the
Fox Sports radio studios. We always pick Super Bowl teams
and winners and and something. You know, you go out
on a limb and make the Bowl prediction. I didn't
(13:30):
take the chalk of the Panthers. Panthers are currently five
hundred to one to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
By the way, I think you missed a couple of zeros. No,
it's just five hundred hit again plus fifty thousand. I'm
telling you they missed them. They missed them too. Patriots
are three hundred one. They missed a couple of zeros
there too.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Okay, yeah, yeah, anyway, but with the idea, Look, they're
trying to get you to lay down your dollar. They
know they're taking your dollars, so they at least have
to make it moderately entice. It's not like saying, hey,
you got a one in a billion shot of winning
the lottery. But the Cowboys, I guess the only question
you still have on this team is the run game, right,
(14:11):
passing the ball move they'll move the ball. Defensively, they'll
get after it. And the kicking game. Obviously, you've got
one of the big legs in the National Football League
where you'll be able to trot him out Aubrey whenever
you need to. So all of that to say, you know,
we watched in Week one as that offense went to
(14:31):
work against Cleveland, a defense that we expected much better from,
and Brandon Cook steps up they lose Ferguson, which I
think is a bigger loss long term, but again it
happens early in theory. He's back and ready and rested
and back for the stretch run when you're gonna need
him most as a as a dump off option against
(14:51):
better defenses. A little concerned about the run game. But
I picked the Saints to be the worst team in football,
and because I take because I you know, like we
basically said in the AFC, we've got to have some
fun outside the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Same thing here.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I can't take the Panthers just because I mean, it's
it's just there waiting on you. But I fully anticipate
that they make life miserable for Derek Carr captain checkdown
comes back, He's not able to look down the field
to Shaheed and make those big connections, and that it
is a miserable slog for them, and this becomes a
(15:27):
thirty one ten kind of finish.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
WHOA look at you. There we go. So there's our looks.
A couple couple of big games in the NFL this weekend.
We have more big game previews coming up, and straight
ahead we'll take a look at the slate in college
football tomorrow, we got Milrow, we got Top twenty five action.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
You get podcasts. Fox Sports Radio. It is The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, let's
go big day in college football tomorrow. Just what kind
of issues does Notre Dame really have. It's Colorado season end?
What about the big nude kickoff? Nobody better to talk
(17:53):
to Ben, longtime front of the show. College football Insider extraordinaire,
owner proprietor grand puba of the greatest college football website.
There is college Footballnews dot com all the predictions, analysis,
prognostications you could possibly want. It is your one stop
shopping for everything college football. Pete Feutech joins us. He's
(18:16):
on Twitter at Pete feu Tech and Pete, let me
congratulate you as the brand new commissioner of the new
PAC twelve. Congratulations getting all those also ran schools to
start the PAC twelve again.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Let's go.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
I well, hey, look they've got money somewhere. Yeah, so
they they're doing something. I mean, well, look, you don't
do this unless basically how much how bad is the
Mountain West when it comes to payoffs? I mean, because
like you've got the there's the Big ten, there's about
one hundred feet, then the SEC and there's another one
(18:50):
hundred feet. Then like the AEC and Big twelve, we're
going to pay out. Then that brought the same over
the next ten years, and then there's a drop and
that seems to be where the new PAC twelve is
going to kind of fit into this mix, and there's
gonna be another drop of everyone else, but you know,
you can do stuff with it. I kind of think that,
first of all, the big story here is tonight and
(19:11):
with this UNLV obviously they're holding out for the Big
twelve because you don't do the new PAC twelve without
trying to lock up Vegas because you want that whole market,
you want the city, you want the stadium. You just
want UNLV.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And the other part of.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
This too is they're an expansion. There's nothing happening. You know,
it's not about college basketball at all. But if the
PAC twelve can like figure out how to do like
Gonzaga and then say, you know, travel schmabol Hey, you Cott,
you want to be a part of you could create
one heck of a basketball conference with this thing from
those Mountain Westerns. So there's a lot of ways around it,
(19:47):
but yeah, interesting stuff to drop it like two in
the morning the other night.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That was fun.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That's why Pizza Commissioner commissionerly to PAC twelve, PZ, he's
got ideas.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
I got something, Yeah, I I could come up with it.
I actually I wunt have packed teb apologist. They actually
had a good deal in place with this whole thing
with Apple. They actually would have turned out to make
these guys a good jillion dollars, but they just didn't
want to do it. It's just become burd in hand.
So they kind of be graduating left for the Big twelve.
But that's for another day.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Like a phoenix rising once again. We'll see how many
more teams sign up and what the deal's become. But
Big noon kickoff tomorrow. They're outside in you know a
Wisconsin and Alabama. Wisconsin a sixteen and a half point
dog vandyke re reconstituted offense. Is this an Alabama role situation?
Or can the Badgers actually put up a fight?
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Well, the party line is that they they've been holding
something back. There's still long ago offense. They haven't they
haven't shown anybody anything in the first two games against
Western Michigan and South Dakota. It's like, well, you're not
that good, you know. I mean, you're the whole point
of scheduling South Dakota and Western Michigan. So you can
(21:02):
figure out how to do that offense and how to
get the timing down and how to make it all work.
And the problem with that is it's sure a shoot
did not look like they had it, and so if
you're that good, then you should be able to just
run your offense, figure it all out, and then you
know who cares this, you know, then beat out, go
out there and beat Alabama. I don't think Wisconsin has it.
(21:24):
I'll be shocked if things don't Alabama. It might take
a little bit, but man, the explosion on that team.
I'm right there and thinking that it's Ohio State and
Georgia and then there's like a little there's a drop
and then Alabama. Texas are next. But I think Alabama
will tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Oh I think Jalen Melroe announces his candidacy for Heisman
this year with a flourish a national game, the big
nude kickoff. Any wait, we forgot about this guy. I
think he has a huge game tomorrow for Alabama.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
I've been preaching it. I have approached it last year,
even though she had to kind of give it to
Jadon Daniels, I said, last year, you you could make
the case he had the game of the year, the
play of the year. He you know, if not for
who is the MVP of the season yet played Daniels
in the LSU Alabama game. In every heisman possible checked
(22:13):
box way except for the gigantic stats of Daniels, Milroe
should have won the Heisman last year. If we really
hammered this down and now he's got to what does
he do really well? He throws the deep ball? What
is this kune the bar offense plate to do? Explode
with the passing game. I think his stats are going
to be fantastic, and certainly Alabama's gonna be front and
(22:35):
center in a lot of big teamers year.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
All right, well stay stick big ten bound looking at
Purdue and no Tree, damn kN Riley Leonard rebound or
is this an opportunity for a rare Boilermakers win against.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
I don't know how healthy he is. I mean that's
that was kind of the thing with the so far,
the Nordiam offense hasn't been good. It wasn't good against
Texas A and m wasn't good certainly against Northern Illinois.
I think tomorrow, I do think Notre Dame does bounce
back a little. I don't think there are anything fantastic
that defense is gonna stuck for do it. That gonna
(23:10):
allow this thing to happen tomorrow. But that said, can
this offense finally do so?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
What?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
The best thing that this offense did all year was
at the second half layer the Layton against Texas A
and M and that heat, they were able to line
up and just bash away on the aggies and that worked.
I don't know if you you know you can do
that from the start. They kind of forgot about the
running games. Strangely enough against Northern Illinois. I think they
just don't even mess around at place. It's not gonna
(23:37):
be anything scintillating, But I think the Irish get through
this in a little bit of a fight.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Here. Ah, there's the next where we're gonna get to scintillating.
Pete fu Tech College football inside with us here the
Jason Smithson with Mike Carbon. Okay, how scintillating is Deon
Sanders press conference tomorrow following what against Colorado State? How
does that go? I until proven?
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Otherwise, you just keep going, keep betting. That's a slot
machine that keeps saying off. Just keep going against, just
keep it until. Look at this point, if you're not
so far ahead betting against Colorado that you can earn
yourself the money back. If this doesn't work, you know,
just keep riding it because they're not good at college football.
I mean, at some point, look, you know not to
(24:24):
go there with this, but you know, obviously with the
twist situation from there, these guys don't have the longest
shelf life going. You can only take so many hits.
How long you let Shador Sanders keep getting hit game
after game because they do not protect him at all.
He throws for a million yards. They have they literally
have actually the worst running game in college football. They
(24:46):
don't run it, their defense can't do much of anything.
But other than that, everything else is great. Uh, Colorado
State hasn't been sharp yet though. I mean they haven't
been able to throw yet. I think this is the
game they finally do. But man, they don't have a
pass rush quite there yet, but it'll show up tomorrow.
But this is one of those games where you know,
if you're Colorado, you win this and all of a sudden,
(25:07):
you know it hasn't been too great, but two and one,
all of a sudden, your season kind of gets off
and running. But I still proven otherwise, I'm still going
against Colorado. I now think they're gonna lose, but it's
only seven right now. I think color Else keeps this close.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know, it's funny to beat when you mentioned that
and thinking back to how long we've known each other,
how long you've been on the show with us as
you said that, and I just flashed back to Todd
Gurley's final year in Georgia, right and he had that
huge opening game. You came on the air with us
after that and I said, Pete, Todd Gurley, and you
just jumped in and said, stop playing. There's nothing else
(25:43):
you can prove. Go to the NFL. Stn't play the
rest of this year, go right to the league.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Yep, it's it's my to Davey and Clowney argument, it's
my you know, all these guys. I know what, if
you want it's the Bill Parcell's life. If you want
to go to the NFL, go to the n FELL
and you know, get there already. And if you're sure Sanders'
money is never going to be a problem again for
him or anything like that. So that's not the issue.
But if you want to play in the league, what
(26:09):
are you doing hanging around Colorado? Just save yourself. I mean,
get out, stop playing, and stop ticking. He gets hit,
not just like like Sacks. He gets free shots on
him all game long, and eventually these guys are going
to break down because of it.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, blitz pick up would be a good thing every
once in a while. Even if you can't run the ball,
someone's got to be able to stand in and take
a little bit of pounding every now and again. He
also needs to get rid of the ball sometimes, you know,
as bad as that offensive line is some of the
abuses on him. But the rest of the slate, we
got a couple of other top twenty fives, but anything
really catch your eye in terms of an upset in
(26:47):
the making that we're wagging our tongues later on tomorrow night.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
I can't see the Northern Illinois and Notre Dame thing
out there, but there are lies. It's not a great
day of games all the way around. There's nothing killer.
There's a lot of interesting things that I am really
interested in seeing. Boston College at Missouri, Uh, Missouri kind
of like Florida State of last year. Everyone loves them
because great wrecord and they look good. They didn't beaten anybody.
(27:14):
They hadn't beat anybody last year either. They beat a
bunch of pretty good teams and then they beat you
know how State once they were down to their fifty
string quarterback. But they lost the two games they had
to win last year. And you know, Boston College under
Bill O'Brien, they're running really, really well. That was going
to be the party line on them early on is
that offensive line's really good. And they bashed away against
(27:35):
Florida State and they ran I believe it was again
Sucane the next week. But they they're running just fine.
I kind of think Boston College gives Miszoo a little
bit of a fight. And the other one, speaking of
the new PAC twelve, the new and improved Jan Brady,
the PAC Clobe, We're about to get here.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
What happens.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
It's rivalry week in you know for a lot of
these teams here, it's Oregon going to Oregon State, it's
Washington hosting Lazoo. These are you know, one, dude's been
playing pretty well so far. Washington's have been just okay
against mediocre teams. Oregon's been playing like that, and Oregon
State is you're gonna be jack. You know, they shut
(28:14):
out San Diego State last week, no big whoops. But
this is going to be at another level. I'm not
exactly sure which one, but if we're talking next week
and there's at least a split between those two big
four PAC twelves on PAC twelve, we'ret morey games, I
will not be shocked at that one.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
And right now Oregon and Washington are playing Marsha Brady saying, sure, Jan,
We're gonna lose these games. Sure Jan, exactly, Well.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
But that would be huge for the new PAC twelve.
You know, look, you know, if you those two are
gonna be the you know, the tenth pole, you know,
anchors in the mall. You want Washington State and Oregon
State to be really good right now because that all
of a sudden takes that new conference up those steam
notches in a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
The website is College Footballnews dot com. You're one stop
shot for everything college football. The man making me feel
really good about my Boston College upset special pick this
week getting seventeen it is Pete feu Tech. Check them
out on Twitter at Pete feud tech. Again all the analysis,
all the preview, all the coverage you could possibly want
of everything college football is there for you. Pete. Enjoy
(29:17):
the games, my friend, we'll talk to you next week.
I got see there goes Pete. Feud Tech time. How
to find out what's trending in the wide world of
sports where with such a big weekend we're involved in
so much football happening right now. Clearly the Mets winning
eleven three is the biggest story of the night.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Steve Desay, that's what's trending, or may not get to that,
but it's good to hear all about the PAC twelve
because that's going to be very exciting that.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
The new Jan Bray is going to be a smash.
Sure Jan back twelve. Sure Jan.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
By the way, you UNLV with this late touchdown to
win at Kansas technically in Kansas City, Kansas today, twenty
three to twenty and yeah, believe it or not, a
forcing goal. They ran from the one and it got
them the TD and the win. Un l V last
year in football started nine and two and the two
losses were at Michigan at Fresno State. They wound up
(30:12):
in the conference championship game. They wound up playing Kansas
in a bowl game and lost to them. So the
rematch was tonight. Ever since I saw Boise State first
game of THEIRS this season, I can't wait till UNLV
plays Boise State. We're about a month away from that.
But first the next two weeks, well bye next week,
(30:33):
and then the next two games I should say for
the rebels of un l V are against Fresno State
on f S one and then a Friday night hosting
Syracuse in Vegas on FS one.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
We can handle. Kyle McCord will throw four touchdowns. We
can We're gonna handle UNLV. The masolutely gonna.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Be busy losing the first week in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
That night you're gonna in the playoffs that you admit
that working like Mets are going to be in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Yes, By the way, the Mets were eleven three winners
at Philadelphia. Tonight's short stuff Francisco Lindor left as a
precaution with the sore bag. Don't go nuts on this,
they said, if it was a close game, he probably
would have stayed in. What is great is to see
sometimes the MLB Network ballpark cam. You're aware that every game,
every Major League stadium that channel has a camera just
(31:24):
going during the whole game, and it was going during
the Yankee game tonight when they were trailing Boston, bases
loaded for Aaron Judge. The game was in the seventh inning.
That was the actual sound of his Grand Slam at
Yankee Stadium for the lead home run number fifty two.
(31:49):
He has one hundred and thirty RBIs. Aaron Judge and
the Yanks get a w five to four over Boston.
And meanwhile Baltimore loss got shut out one nothing at Detroit.
Gunner Henderson broke up a combined no hit bid with
two outs in the top of the ninth with a triple,
So the Yankees first in the AL East, three games
ahead of the Orioles. The Met's still a game ahead
(32:10):
of the Atlanta Braves. For the final NL Wild Card.
Atlanta beat the Dodgers six to two, Kansas City and
Tampa Bay with road wins. Cincinnati as well. Red's won
at Minnesota eight to four. Li de la Cruz at
Grand Slam Cubs lost Colorado over the Cubbies nine to five,
as Hunter Goodman had two home runs seven RBIs, including
(32:30):
the go ahead Grand Slam bottom of the eighth.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
A wait I listened to Hunter Goodman on the eighties channel.
You got Alan Hunter and they're both on together.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
You also listened to Benny Goodman on a front channel.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Nice, that's on the forties channel.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
But this guy, Hunter Goodman was batting one seventy nine
going into tonight. He winds up being the hero of
the game in the Al West Mariners four and a
half games behind first place Houston. How are they doing?
Houston's win four to three and Anaheim bottom of the eighth.
Mariner's getting shut out at home Texas three nothing over
Seattle bottom of the fifth. Jacob de Gram in his
(33:08):
season debut, FA.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Stop stop, lot of people stop.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
It happened and it was spectacular. Pitched into the fourth inning,
no runs allowed, four strikeouts and no walks.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Back to you, I really think Hunter Goodman. It's Alan
Hunter and Mark Goodman, That's what it is. It's the
old Major.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, it's like you know, like like like Tim Flannery
and Jerry Royster, like when they would you know, they
used to platoon at second base with the Padres. They're platooning,
so it's one person they're put together.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Alan Mark Goodman says, we'll be back with more videos
in a moment, but first Tabitha with your latest political news.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Kurt Loader. Sure he's there as well, Serious Stevens. The
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon coming
up next, speaking of the eighties. Uh, Mike and I
give you our upset Special picks in the NFL this week.
We each have two picks sure to hit. I'm feeling
pretty good coming off an undefeated two and oh week
(34:04):
Week one. Who do we like? That's coming up next Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live from the
tire Rag dot Com Studios. And we are smack dab
in the middle of another big football weekend. We got
upset special picks. Now we're gonna break down the game
of the week in the NFL coming up in about
ten minutes. This is what we call Football Friday, So
let's kick things off here for upset Specials. I'm feeling
(34:37):
pretty good coming off my two and oh week last
week with the upside, I'm feeling pretty good, feeling pretty good,
feeling good, looking good, Billy Ray, feeling good. We already
have a couple in the hopper that we did too. Yeah. Yeah,
but but these are the official upseticial ones. Okay, you
want me look at the big games, but these are
the official upset special So.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
What you're saying is I can just put a giant
blanket and just double down. Sure prior ranting, let's go,
So I'll kick things off. And I know that there's
been a lot today about the injuries and some of
the players they'll be missing on Sunday, but I will
take the Bucks getting seven and a half against.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
The Lions pretty happy line. Look, if the Lions win
this game going away, there should be nothing to make
you think, boy, they're not gonna go that they might
be the favorites in the NFC, because what they've done
is take a team that was really good last year,
shore up their big deficiencies, and win a game opening
week against a team that played better than them in
(35:37):
the second half. If they do this again to the Bucks,
boy the sky is limit for them again. But I
don't think that's happening. The people are sleeping on how
good the Bucks are. They'd a big dominant week Week one,
and yes they are gonna be missing some players. It's
hard to know exactly what the mix is. Todd Bowles, Hey,
we could get some guys back. We might be missing
some guys. But the Bucks offense looks good. They're running
(35:59):
the ball away. Well, it's not gonna be just Rashad
White in his one point two yards per carry. Bucky
Irving is pretty good. Maybe Sean Tucker gets in the
mix at some point. But Baker Mayfield is legit now.
He is more legit than he's ever been in his career.
But people don't want to see it, or they just
ignore it because I'm s a good time to talking
about Baker Mayfield. This is the best he has played
in his NFL career, and seven and a half points
(36:22):
is a lot of points, all right now, I'm gonna
take every one of them. Sure I could. I think
they're gonna win on the field. Would it surprise me though?
If the if the Lions squeak out a field goal, win, Yeah,
but again, seven and a half points give me the Bucks.
I'll take every single one of those points.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I mean, remember, the Lions also took advantage of the
gifts given to them by McVeigh and Stafford when they
threw on second and five, stopping the clock when Kyri
and Williams ran out of bounds.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah, yeah, little.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
You know, nuanced things that you know maybe only a
dope like me, you know, the talking head, dope, basket case,
whatever else you said I might find. I am taking
your guy, your former guy. You cast him off.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Take Sam? Are you really? Sam Donald? Plus five at home?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Forty six and a half the total Aaron Jones in
the backfield. You've got balance, You've got definition, and you've
got a defense with some teeth, maybe maybe making life
difficult for Brock Party in company rock fight kind of game.
I'll expect the under here, but I'm gonna take Sam
Donald to win and to go to and O on
(37:26):
the air.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Okay, I told you there's only one thing about Sam
Donald that bothers me. He stinks. He had one game
against one of the three worst teams in the NFL. Okay, Okay,
let's see step let's say let's say, let's say if
he doesn't this one tough guy. I'm just saying you
went after me though, yours a personal attack on me
because you all you said was your guy. It's the
(37:48):
first filthy mouth you love. I'm taking your guy.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
How many hours did I have to deal with Fox
Sports Radio? Let me when you assaulted me by going
Sam's let me get the iPad out, and I'm taking
that personally. Damn.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Now, it doesn't matter how many points you are underdog by,
I will still take you. Give me the Rams plus
one against Arizona. I don't know why this is a
one point spread. I don't know why Arizona is favored.
It feels like a gift, which means it's probably a
trap game. But the Rams are so good. Yes, they
lost in Detroit in a game they could have pulled out.
(38:28):
They played incredibly well. No Puka nakua, it doesn't matter.
They just roll through skill guys and they still play well.
The defense was good enough. They got tired at the
end and into overtime. But they get this w against
the Arizona Cardinals and they go to one and one
and it's not particularly close. Give me the Rams in
this one getting a point.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
I would like to see the Cardinals go you like
that and run James Connor like he's David Montgomery.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
We're gonna do it again and again.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
They don't have the same personnel, so that will work.
I'm gonna look down the board a little bit. I
already took Sam Darnold, so that's one. Give me the
Raiders plus eight. I don't know that they win this
game outright, but I think Gardner Minshew, after all of
the Las Vegas scribes started making fun of the squad
that they come out and they just start winging it around.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Minshe's throwing the ball thirty eight times here in the
first half. A low right. You got a decent running game.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
You got a two headed monster there, Devontae Adams, Jacobi Myers,
the duel tight end.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
I think they can put up some points. All right,
there's our upset special Picks of the Week in theft.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
It's a magic number, man, I could lose by a
full touchdown.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
DJ, like Dick Van Patton told us a long time ago.
Eight is enough for this game, right, Fill our hearts
with love. Coming up next, we preview the game of
the week and talk about a quarterback that may not
be nearly as good as you think he is. This
is Fox

Speaker 2 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome in Side hour two Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon. Friday, Baby, it's football weekend.
Kind of a kind of a glass half full day
for the state of Kansas. Kansas on national television. I mean,
if you if you have ESPN, they lose Kansas State
on National TV. Everybody's got whoah.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
But if you didn't get to see it, does the
wind count doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You can just say you won. If no one saw it,
you could just say you want.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Just in general, I mean, you know, going back to
that philosophical but aren't we all. I mean, the fact
that you're able to have the conversation you've won in
some respect.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That's why they're not gonna televise Colorado games because if
they keep losing that's bad. But you can easily watch
a press conference and not really think or know if
they won or lost. And if you say, Dean, didn't
you guys lose by four touchdowns? Did you see the game?
Did you see the game? Do you believe? Do you
think that happened? Well, no, I don't. I don't, so
you don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I would say this if you listen to Shaduur. He
he's got a lot of tells. The poker playing side
of him is not there yet in terms of, you know,
keeping calm and moving forward. Big battle tomorrow though we
talked a lot about smack talking yesterday at the NFL
level and collegiate that's one of the games. We'll have
our eyes on Colorado State, a seven and a half
(01:41):
point dog in that one. Shaduur Sanders and seeing what
the offense can do, whether he gets rid of the
ball quickly enough and they stop blaming their offensive line. Meanwhile,
his brother broke his arm last week. I know, I
know it's gonna be out like three four weeks. Crazy
how it goes.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So again, big weekend ahead of us in college football,
We're gonna preview more of the big games coming up
big night in baseball as well, Diamondbacks and Padres trying
to keep pace with the Mets and the Braves, who
both won earlier tonight. So we're getting there.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Aaron Judge finally at a home run I know, came
in on August twenty fifth.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
No, I think I think it's the last time one
was like July said, now now he's now, he's now.
It's like, oh he's oh he's he may not get
to whoa, whoa, he may not. Oh oh yeah, that
that big home run season might have happened Faron Judge anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Didn't they make fun of like he was on did
a voice thing for some cartoon and and that was
the the curse that.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Came on him? Oh oh maybe did he do it
like Late Night with the Devil like that shit the
movies there, that's a good movie I enjoy. Yeah. All
of a sudden, like it's like, hey, Judge might top
out it like fifty eight home runs. Suddenly that sixty
five home run season's gone. It's not happening. That's just it.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
We get all excited about the potential for these big numbers,
like yeah, it didn't quite do Yeah, wait a minute,
he was he was in a Pall Patrol.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Spin off fall Judge. Yeah, okay, and ever since that aired,
he didn't hit a home run. Oh the Paul Patrol Power,
Andy Grimmace or somebody from McDonald's family. I think this
dog took it. I mean he's a handsome little son
of it.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Okay, all right, but I think I mean, look at
that smile, like he knows it's a happy dog.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
He's Judge next to it, next to a not happy dog.
Why wouldn't you? Why would you do that? He's fierce,
not gonna do that to Aaron Judge. Why I'd put
him next to a big dog? Look at Aaron Judge.
He's next to a big dog.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So he can ride like a shetling poet, you know,
like a dalmation. No, they can jump on and ride
to the rescue.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It looked like Game of Thrones, like here's like here's
a big knight on a dragon. You know this we
just took another spin off of Paul Patrol and a
whole other dres. I got a baseball bat instead of
a lance and like can come back to him like
it's a boomerang, and we do it like, yeah, the baseball.
That's like you used to have that, you'd throw it
on the string.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, and the dog can breathe fire, because you know,
of course you gotta have that, right, little nikky, Fire
and ice. The dog can do both fire and ice.
Yeah yeah, see that's to show ice. That's a whole
other weapon. That's I don't think we use enough. You know,
let's have the dragons, but you know, I've seen enough
of dragons with five about dragons with ice. Let's do
that instead, because.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You get the frozen face of fear, where as opposed
to just disintegrating a guy. I mean, you can only
do so much with that.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah no, no, sure, yeah, yeah I know. But here
now we got frozen guys. Well one's his expression. And
if you kill a guy, eventually you can fall him out.
I always gott to thaw him out. And now he's
a bad guy. We've walt Disney out of I'm just oh, whoa, whoa,
you went over the line, over the over the line,
over the line. Just jump say you thaw out a
fictional character. Okay, fictional character. Oh but they want to
(04:40):
go down a rabbit hole. Why they named the frozen frozen?
Why Doesney name the movie that. Yeah, you want to
go down a rabbit hole, you know exactly. But they
is about minute. Let's go with week two in the
NFL upon us. How about Mike and I give you
some pics. We take a look at some of the
biggest games on the docket on Sunday and tell you
how it's gonna go. And let me say this first.
(05:02):
I'm gonna make you feel good. Tell you I'm gonna
say this first. I just want to say let me
let me say because you're gonna say, you're gonna be
mad at me, You're gonna be upset. No, nothing, he
hurt me with his word. No, no, no, that was
jerky boys. Initially I was hurt by his words and
(05:23):
then I suffered an injury. Oh okay, okay, mister Rosenberg,
mister Rosenberg, mister yes, yes, I'm sorry. Yes you say
thirty five seventy eighth Street, Yes, mister Rosenberg. Yeah, this
is where people went full pharmacist.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
In the Simpsons, Jack tours to r uh huh or
family guy, family guy.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, this is where people will start believing. Fully wait in.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
The Bears, whoa whoa Sunday is a big game, right,
Bears in the Texans time time.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Everybody expects, oh the Texans look offensively. They had no problems.
Week one. It was a great game. That Indianapolis game
was a phenomenal game. What a great back and forth
to Fon Diggs is showing that I still love stuff
left in the tank. You have a lot of talented
receivers in Houston to for the point where all right,
maybe Dalton Schultz is gonna be the guy left out
because Tank Dell's gonna get the tank. Dell's gonnaet ball.
(06:17):
Nico Collins, you know, is gonna get balls, and Stefan
Diggs because like I think he hasn't his contract. You
absolutely have to throw to him a certain number of
times in the game or you have to give a
million dollars. So I think that's part of his contract.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Did they just put the million dollars on the sideline
under glass and then there's a security guard standard.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's a million dollars, Like you have to throw him
at least eight times, and if you throw to him
four times, that's four million dollars. You know, what's the count?
What's the count? Get those fours up? Why are we
throwing the ball we gonna do is kneel on the
ball to win. We gotta throw to them. We got
I don't want to pay four million dollars. What are
those signals between c J. Stroud and the OC. It's
him telling him how many more times he has to
throw it to Diggs. But I am obviously I'm more.
(06:57):
I'm higher on the Bears than a lot of people
after last week. Caleb Williams is going to be fine.
He's first game in the NFL. Guess what he won.
A lot of guys don't win their first game. A
lot of top draft picks don't win. Could he have
played better? Absolutely, But this is a guy who I'm
watching him play Game one.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I go.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
He just has to let it fly. And once he
lets it fly and he trust his instincts, he's going
to be fine. It was an okay game for him
to get in and play. And I'm sure the game
plans a little bit close to the vest because the Bears,
and this is where it's going to turn for the Bears,
because the Bears know, hey, our defense is going to
be able to control a lot and so we can
slowly open things up for Caleb Williams. A little bit more.
(07:36):
He's going to be just fine. I know if you
start him in fantasy in a two quarterback league. Look
I did, You're not happy, you seven, But here's the
thing you're gonna see on Sunday night. Caleb Williams will
play better. But the story of the game is going
to be the Bears defense. What did I tell you?
Was the only thing that I was worried about them
being a top five unit? Well, only one thing. No, look,
the Bears. The only thing was will the defensive backs
(07:59):
be really good out of the gate because they haven't
had enough time to play together and that and that's
a big thing with guys being out newside. Everything else.
That was the only thing. Because this is a top
five defense after last week, I'm pretty happy with what
I saw from the Bears.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Well, no, I am pretty happy. Well, I tried to
lay your fears on that side. For me is when
and if the offense clicks right, because you got a
lot of names, like a lot of name and star power.
The thing that really look as the Chicago guy Bears fan,
whatever you want to do, but taking it objectively, I
didn't like their play calling out early downs in terms
(08:34):
of trying to create and push the ball a bit, right,
you're looking at the run game was stymied, so you're
getting into a lot of second and longs, and for
for a rookie quarterback that that's not winning football, right.
You gotta gotta give him some easy opportunities and set
him up for you know, second and short. Let a
couple more design runs, right, he's elusive, don't let him
(08:57):
run backwards like he did. That was your welcome to
the NFL speed moment of Well, I can't turn because
that guy's already heat.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Normally I would have eight yards of separation, way more
time for that now that I've destroyed.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
But between Stevenson who had the big return, and of
course you know Jalen Johnson who's pissed off that he
didn't wasn't in the top one hundred players, right, that
carried all off season.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Sure, I don't know that it like other.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Than video game ratings, this is the most somebody will
ranking that.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Anybody's other people that are upset about not being where
they are in the top hundred. It at I know.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
So he's really salty about this, But defensively, I felt
pretty good, you know, A well quaffed E refluced that
side of things and with Eric Washington that they were
going to be fine offensively. It looks like a doonsday
is going to be able to go. Keenan Allen, even
with the heel injury, looks like he's going to be
able to go. I would expect more from the other
(09:54):
running backs. Swift will have his breakout opportunities, but I
think you're going to see more of Roshawn Johnson and
Khalil Herbert to where you play a little more battering
Rams style, try to soften up the underbelly of the
Texan defense. Yeah, I think this is a good one.
Texans six and a half point faired. I'll take the
Bears at the point. I'll think they win this all.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Take the Bears on the field, and the story of
the day is going to be hang on. This Bears
defense is really Forget about the Jets. We've talked about
them in the Nines. This Bears defense is absolutely outstanding.
Who can slow down c J. Stroud and these wideouts?
This is gonna be the story of the game Bears
(10:33):
went on the field. I would take the points too,
but dig that Bears win on the field. In a shocker.
How about that?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, yeah, our guy Ian Roddy in for Justin Prossberg
tonight as executive producer in our I watched Flex podcast
that was the streaming d They were available at a
little over fifty percent of leagues in week one fifty points.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, not available anymore. No, no, no, no,
shouldn't have been anyway. There's lots of leagues where you know,
everybody has one defense and there's fifteen or sixteen defenses
depending on because every plays the matchups now defenses like
no one, I'm gonna keep rolling out this team every
I'm gonna stream and do that.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
How many of you thinks streamed against the Jets.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
New Orleans and Dallas? This is gonna be the definition
of an artificial bump, right, Like we see that when
we go through We've been going through that with politics
this last year. Hey, is Trump gonna get an artificial
bump from the RNC? Is Kamala Harris gonna get an
artificial bump from the DNC? What kind of bumps are
coming to? And they're all artificial because it's Hey, it's
(11:34):
about excitement. And then the bump comes back because okay,
this is about policy and different things. And this is
the definition of this game because the Cowboys are gonna
get such an artificial bump after they beat the crap
out of the Saints, because the Saints are no good. Okay,
the Saints are terrible, make no mistake about it. But
it's just that the Panthers are absolutely worse. Like this
(11:56):
was that moneyball line. Here's all the rich teams like
the Cowboys. Here's where most other teams are like the Saints.
Then there's fifty feet a crap and then under we
got the Panthers. Right, that's what it was. The Saints
are terrible, make no mistake about it. It looks great
because they were playing a team that is absolutely awful
and I can't believe they lost that bet. The Cowboys
are on that that high to begin the season of
(12:19):
Ceedee Lamb gets paid, Dak Prescott gets paid, they win
Week one. Hey, it's good feeling. I said from the beginning.
Dallas is gonna start out the season fantastic. Right, They're
gonna be pissed because of the contract situation, and they're
gonna start out big. Hey, the contract's got sold, but
Dallas will start out big. They'll be two and oh
and it's gonna be maybe the Cowboys are better, maybe
(12:39):
Jerry Jones is all in its improvements the Cowboys made
from within. It's none of that. This is the Cowboys
being two and oh playing a team that's no good,
that beat a team that just happened to be worse.
Cowboys will win big and they'll get that artificial bump.
But still it's good for the Cowboys. They'll be two
and oh. Were talking about them. Hey, we're in the conversation, Dak.
I want to be the MVP. I want to win
to and the Cowboys stay top of mind. But it's
(13:02):
an artificial bump win for them because that's where that's
the that's the reality of their win, what they'll have
this week.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
This was a curiosity in terms of the line total
is forty seven. Cowboys are only a six or six
and a half point favorite currently. And look, I put
it on our board that we have here in the
Fox Sports radio studios. We always pick Super Bowl teams
and winners and and something. You know, you go out
on a limb and make the Bowl prediction. I didn't
(13:30):
take the chalk of the Panthers. Panthers are currently five
hundred to one to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
By the way, I think you missed a couple of zeros. No,
it's just five hundred hit again plus fifty thousand. I'm
telling you they missed them. They missed them too. Patriots
are three hundred one. They missed a couple of zeros
there too.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Okay, yeah, yeah, anyway, but with the idea, Look, they're
trying to get you to lay down your dollar. They
know they're taking your dollars, so they at least have
to make it moderately entice. It's not like saying, hey,
you got a one in a billion shot of winning
the lottery. But the Cowboys, I guess the only question
you still have on this team is the run game, right,
(14:11):
passing the ball move they'll move the ball. Defensively, they'll
get after it. And the kicking game. Obviously, you've got
one of the big legs in the National Football League
where you'll be able to trot him out Aubrey whenever
you need to. So all of that to say, you know,
we watched in Week one as that offense went to
(14:31):
work against Cleveland, a defense that we expected much better from,
and Brandon Cook steps up they lose Ferguson, which I
think is a bigger loss long term, but again it
happens early in theory. He's back and ready and rested
and back for the stretch run when you're gonna need
him most as a as a dump off option against
(14:51):
better defenses. A little concerned about the run game. But
I picked the Saints to be the worst team in football,
and because I take because I you know, like we
basically said in the AFC, we've got to have some
fun outside the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Same thing here.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I can't take the Panthers just because I mean, it's
it's just there waiting on you. But I fully anticipate
that they make life miserable for Derek Carr captain checkdown
comes back, He's not able to look down the field
to Shaheed and make those big connections, and that it
is a miserable slog for them, and this becomes a
(15:27):
thirty one ten kind of finish.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
WHOA look at you. There we go. So there's our looks.
A couple couple of big games in the NFL this weekend.
We have more big game previews coming up, and straight
ahead we'll take a look at the slate in college
football tomorrow, we got Milrow, we got Top twenty five action.

go big day in college football tomorrow. Just what kind
of issues does Notre Dame really have. It's Colorado season end?
What about the big nude kickoff? Nobody better to talk
(17:53):
to Ben, longtime front of the show. College football Insider extraordinaire,
owner proprietor grand puba of the greatest college football website.
There is college Footballnews dot com all the predictions, analysis,
prognostications you could possibly want. It is your one stop
shopping for everything college football. Pete Feutech joins us. He's
(18:16):
on Twitter at Pete feu Tech and Pete, let me
congratulate you as the brand new commissioner of the new
PAC twelve. Congratulations getting all those also ran schools to
start the PAC twelve again.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Let's go.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
I well, hey, look they've got money somewhere. Yeah, so
they they're doing something. I mean, well, look, you don't
do this unless basically how much how bad is the
Mountain West when it comes to payoffs? I mean, because
like you've got the there's the Big ten, there's about
one hundred feet, then the SEC and there's another one
(18:50):
hundred feet. Then like the AEC and Big twelve, we're
going to pay out. Then that brought the same over
the next ten years, and then there's a drop and
that seems to be where the new PAC twelve is
going to kind of fit into this mix, and there's
gonna be another drop of everyone else, but you know,
you can do stuff with it. I kind of think that,
first of all, the big story here is tonight and
(19:11):
with this UNLV obviously they're holding out for the Big
twelve because you don't do the new PAC twelve without
trying to lock up Vegas because you want that whole market,
you want the city, you want the stadium. You just
want UNLV.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And the other part of.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
This too is they're an expansion. There's nothing happening. You know,
it's not about college basketball at all. But if the
PAC twelve can like figure out how to do like
Gonzaga and then say, you know, travel schmabol Hey, you Cott,
you want to be a part of you could create
one heck of a basketball conference with this thing from
those Mountain Westerns. So there's a lot of ways around it,
(19:47):
but yeah, interesting stuff to drop it like two in
the morning the other night.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That was fun.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That's why Pizza Commissioner commissionerly to PAC twelve, PZ, he's
got ideas.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
I got something, Yeah, I I could come up with it.
I actually I wunt have packed teb apologist. They actually
had a good deal in place with this whole thing
with Apple. They actually would have turned out to make
these guys a good jillion dollars, but they just didn't
want to do it. It's just become burd in hand.
So they kind of be graduating left for the Big twelve.
But that's for another day.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Like a phoenix rising once again. We'll see how many
more teams sign up and what the deal's become. But
Big noon kickoff tomorrow. They're outside in you know a
Wisconsin and Alabama. Wisconsin a sixteen and a half point
dog vandyke re reconstituted offense. Is this an Alabama role situation?
Or can the Badgers actually put up a fight?
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Well, the party line is that they they've been holding
something back. There's still long ago offense. They haven't they
haven't shown anybody anything in the first two games against
Western Michigan and South Dakota. It's like, well, you're not
that good, you know. I mean, you're the whole point
of scheduling South Dakota and Western Michigan. So you can
(21:02):
figure out how to do that offense and how to
get the timing down and how to make it all work.
And the problem with that is it's sure a shoot
did not look like they had it, and so if
you're that good, then you should be able to just
run your offense, figure it all out, and then you
know who cares this, you know, then beat out, go
out there and beat Alabama. I don't think Wisconsin has it.
(21:24):
I'll be shocked if things don't Alabama. It might take
a little bit, but man, the explosion on that team.
I'm right there and thinking that it's Ohio State and
Georgia and then there's like a little there's a drop
and then Alabama. Texas are next. But I think Alabama
will tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Oh I think Jalen Melroe announces his candidacy for Heisman
this year with a flourish a national game, the big
nude kickoff. Any wait, we forgot about this guy. I
think he has a huge game tomorrow for Alabama.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
I've been preaching it. I have approached it last year,
even though she had to kind of give it to
Jadon Daniels, I said, last year, you you could make
the case he had the game of the year, the
play of the year. He you know, if not for
who is the MVP of the season yet played Daniels
in the LSU Alabama game. In every heisman possible checked
(22:13):
box way except for the gigantic stats of Daniels, Milroe
should have won the Heisman last year. If we really
hammered this down and now he's got to what does
he do really well? He throws the deep ball? What
is this kune the bar offense plate to do? Explode
with the passing game. I think his stats are going
to be fantastic, and certainly Alabama's gonna be front and
(22:35):
center in a lot of big teamers year.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
All right, well stay stick big ten bound looking at
Purdue and no Tree, damn kN Riley Leonard rebound or
is this an opportunity for a rare Boilermakers win against.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
I don't know how healthy he is. I mean that's
that was kind of the thing with the so far,
the Nordiam offense hasn't been good. It wasn't good against
Texas A and m wasn't good certainly against Northern Illinois.
I think tomorrow, I do think Notre Dame does bounce
back a little. I don't think there are anything fantastic
that defense is gonna stuck for do it. That gonna
(23:10):
allow this thing to happen tomorrow. But that said, can
this offense finally do so?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
What?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
The best thing that this offense did all year was
at the second half layer the Layton against Texas A
and M and that heat, they were able to line
up and just bash away on the aggies and that worked.
I don't know if you you know you can do
that from the start. They kind of forgot about the
running games. Strangely enough against Northern Illinois. I think they
just don't even mess around at place. It's not gonna
(23:37):
be anything scintillating, But I think the Irish get through
this in a little bit of a fight.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Here. Ah, there's the next where we're gonna get to scintillating.
Pete fu Tech College football inside with us here the
Jason Smithson with Mike Carbon. Okay, how scintillating is Deon
Sanders press conference tomorrow following what against Colorado State? How
does that go? I until proven?
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Otherwise, you just keep going, keep betting. That's a slot
machine that keeps saying off. Just keep going against, just
keep it until. Look at this point, if you're not
so far ahead betting against Colorado that you can earn
yourself the money back. If this doesn't work, you know,
just keep riding it because they're not good at college football.
I mean, at some point, look, you know not to
(24:24):
go there with this, but you know, obviously with the
twist situation from there, these guys don't have the longest
shelf life going. You can only take so many hits.
How long you let Shador Sanders keep getting hit game
after game because they do not protect him at all.
He throws for a million yards. They have they literally
have actually the worst running game in college football. They
(24:46):
don't run it, their defense can't do much of anything.
But other than that, everything else is great. Uh, Colorado
State hasn't been sharp yet though. I mean they haven't
been able to throw yet. I think this is the
game they finally do. But man, they don't have a
pass rush quite there yet, but it'll show up tomorrow.
But this is one of those games where you know,
if you're Colorado, you win this and all of a sudden,
(25:07):
you know it hasn't been too great, but two and one,
all of a sudden, your season kind of gets off
and running. But I still proven otherwise, I'm still going
against Colorado. I now think they're gonna lose, but it's
only seven right now. I think color Else keeps this close.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know, it's funny to beat when you mentioned that
and thinking back to how long we've known each other,
how long you've been on the show with us as
you said that, and I just flashed back to Todd
Gurley's final year in Georgia, right and he had that
huge opening game. You came on the air with us
after that and I said, Pete, Todd Gurley, and you
just jumped in and said, stop playing. There's nothing else
(25:43):
you can prove. Go to the NFL. Stn't play the
rest of this year, go right to the league.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Yep, it's it's my to Davey and Clowney argument, it's
my you know, all these guys. I know what, if
you want it's the Bill Parcell's life. If you want
to go to the NFL, go to the n FELL
and you know, get there already. And if you're sure Sanders'
money is never going to be a problem again for
him or anything like that. So that's not the issue.
But if you want to play in the league, what
(26:09):
are you doing hanging around Colorado? Just save yourself. I mean,
get out, stop playing, and stop ticking. He gets hit,
not just like like Sacks. He gets free shots on
him all game long, and eventually these guys are going
to break down because of it.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, blitz pick up would be a good thing every
once in a while. Even if you can't run the ball,
someone's got to be able to stand in and take
a little bit of pounding every now and again. He
also needs to get rid of the ball sometimes, you know,
as bad as that offensive line is some of the
abuses on him. But the rest of the slate, we
got a couple of other top twenty fives, but anything
really catch your eye in terms of an upset in
(26:47):
the making that we're wagging our tongues later on tomorrow night.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
I can't see the Northern Illinois and Notre Dame thing
out there, but there are lies. It's not a great
day of games all the way around. There's nothing killer.
There's a lot of interesting things that I am really
interested in seeing. Boston College at Missouri, Uh, Missouri kind
of like Florida State of last year. Everyone loves them
because great wrecord and they look good. They didn't beaten anybody.
(27:14):
They hadn't beat anybody last year either. They beat a
bunch of pretty good teams and then they beat you
know how State once they were down to their fifty
string quarterback. But they lost the two games they had
to win last year. And you know, Boston College under
Bill O'Brien, they're running really, really well. That was going
to be the party line on them early on is
that offensive line's really good. And they bashed away against
(27:35):
Florida State and they ran I believe it was again
Sucane the next week. But they they're running just fine.
I kind of think Boston College gives Miszoo a little
bit of a fight. And the other one, speaking of
the new PAC twelve, the new and improved Jan Brady,
the PAC Clobe, We're about to get here.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
What happens.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
It's rivalry week in you know for a lot of
these teams here, it's Oregon going to Oregon State, it's
Washington hosting Lazoo. These are you know, one, dude's been
playing pretty well so far. Washington's have been just okay
against mediocre teams. Oregon's been playing like that, and Oregon
State is you're gonna be jack. You know, they shut
(28:14):
out San Diego State last week, no big whoops. But
this is going to be at another level. I'm not
exactly sure which one, but if we're talking next week
and there's at least a split between those two big
four PAC twelves on PAC twelve, we'ret morey games, I
will not be shocked at that one.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
And right now Oregon and Washington are playing Marsha Brady saying, sure, Jan,
We're gonna lose these games. Sure Jan, exactly, Well.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
But that would be huge for the new PAC twelve.
You know, look, you know, if you those two are
gonna be the you know, the tenth pole, you know,
anchors in the mall. You want Washington State and Oregon
State to be really good right now because that all
of a sudden takes that new conference up those steam
notches in a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
The website is College Footballnews dot com. You're one stop
shot for everything college football. The man making me feel
really good about my Boston College upset special pick this
week getting seventeen it is Pete feu Tech. Check them
out on Twitter at Pete feud tech. Again all the analysis,
all the preview, all the coverage you could possibly want
of everything college football is there for you. Pete. Enjoy
(29:17):
the games, my friend, we'll talk to you next week.
I got see there goes Pete. Feud Tech time. How
to find out what's trending in the wide world of
sports where with such a big weekend we're involved in
so much football happening right now. Clearly the Mets winning
eleven three is the biggest story of the night.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Steve Desay, that's what's trending, or may not get to that,
but it's good to hear all about the PAC twelve
because that's going to be very exciting that.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
The new Jan Bray is going to be a smash.
Sure Jan back twelve. Sure Jan.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
By the way, you UNLV with this late touchdown to
win at Kansas technically in Kansas City, Kansas today, twenty
three to twenty and yeah, believe it or not, a
forcing goal. They ran from the one and it got
them the TD and the win. Un l V last
year in football started nine and two and the two
losses were at Michigan at Fresno State. They wound up
(30:12):
in the conference championship game. They wound up playing Kansas
in a bowl game and lost to them. So the
rematch was tonight. Ever since I saw Boise State first
game of THEIRS this season, I can't wait till UNLV
plays Boise State. We're about a month away from that.
But first the next two weeks, well bye next week,
(30:33):
and then the next two games I should say for
the rebels of un l V are against Fresno State
on f S one and then a Friday night hosting
Syracuse in Vegas on FS one.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
We can handle. Kyle McCord will throw four touchdowns. We
can We're gonna handle UNLV. The masolutely gonna.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Be busy losing the first week in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
That night you're gonna in the playoffs that you admit
that working like Mets are going to be in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Yes, By the way, the Mets were eleven three winners
at Philadelphia. Tonight's short stuff Francisco Lindor left as a
precaution with the sore bag. Don't go nuts on this,
they said, if it was a close game, he probably
would have stayed in. What is great is to see
sometimes the MLB Network ballpark cam. You're aware that every game,
every Major League stadium that channel has a camera just
(31:24):
going during the whole game, and it was going during
the Yankee game tonight when they were trailing Boston, bases
loaded for Aaron Judge. The game was in the seventh inning.
That was the actual sound of his Grand Slam at
Yankee Stadium for the lead home run number fifty two.
(31:49):
He has one hundred and thirty RBIs. Aaron Judge and
the Yanks get a w five to four over Boston.
And meanwhile Baltimore loss got shut out one nothing at Detroit.
Gunner Henderson broke up a combined no hit bid with
two outs in the top of the ninth with a triple,
So the Yankees first in the AL East, three games
ahead of the Orioles. The Met's still a game ahead
(32:10):
of the Atlanta Braves. For the final NL Wild Card.
Atlanta beat the Dodgers six to two, Kansas City and
Tampa Bay with road wins. Cincinnati as well. Red's won
at Minnesota eight to four. Li de la Cruz at
Grand Slam Cubs lost Colorado over the Cubbies nine to five,
as Hunter Goodman had two home runs seven RBIs, including
(32:30):
the go ahead Grand Slam bottom of the eighth.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
A wait I listened to Hunter Goodman on the eighties channel.
You got Alan Hunter and they're both on together.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
You also listened to Benny Goodman on a front channel.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Nice, that's on the forties channel.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
But this guy, Hunter Goodman was batting one seventy nine
going into tonight. He winds up being the hero of
the game in the Al West Mariners four and a
half games behind first place Houston. How are they doing?
Houston's win four to three and Anaheim bottom of the eighth.
Mariner's getting shut out at home Texas three nothing over
Seattle bottom of the fifth. Jacob de Gram in his
(33:08):
season debut, FA.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Stop stop, lot of people stop.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
It happened and it was spectacular. Pitched into the fourth inning,
no runs allowed, four strikeouts and no walks.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Back to you, I really think Hunter Goodman. It's Alan
Hunter and Mark Goodman, That's what it is. It's the
old Major.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, it's like you know, like like like Tim Flannery
and Jerry Royster, like when they would you know, they
used to platoon at second base with the Padres. They're platooning,
so it's one person they're put together.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Alan Mark Goodman says, we'll be back with more videos
in a moment, but first Tabitha with your latest political news.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Kurt Loader. Sure he's there as well, Serious Stevens. The
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon coming
up next, speaking of the eighties. Uh, Mike and I
give you our upset Special picks in the NFL this week.
We each have two picks sure to hit. I'm feeling
pretty good coming off an undefeated two and oh week
(34:04):
Week one. Who do we like? That's coming up next Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live from the
tire Rag dot Com Studios. And we are smack dab
in the middle of another big football weekend. We got
upset special picks. Now we're gonna break down the game
of the week in the NFL coming up in about
ten minutes. This is what we call Football Friday, So
let's kick things off here for upset Specials. I'm feeling
(34:37):
pretty good coming off my two and oh week last
week with the upside, I'm feeling pretty good, feeling pretty good,
feeling good, looking good, Billy Ray, feeling good. We already
have a couple in the hopper that we did too. Yeah. Yeah,
but but these are the official upseticial ones. Okay, you
want me look at the big games, but these are
the official upset special So.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
What you're saying is I can just put a giant
blanket and just double down. Sure prior ranting, let's go,
So I'll kick things off. And I know that there's
been a lot today about the injuries and some of
the players they'll be missing on Sunday, but I will
take the Bucks getting seven and a half against.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
The Lions pretty happy line. Look, if the Lions win
this game going away, there should be nothing to make
you think, boy, they're not gonna go that they might
be the favorites in the NFC, because what they've done
is take a team that was really good last year,
shore up their big deficiencies, and win a game opening
week against a team that played better than them in
(35:37):
the second half. If they do this again to the Bucks,
boy the sky is limit for them again. But I
don't think that's happening. The people are sleeping on how
good the Bucks are. They'd a big dominant week Week one,
and yes they are gonna be missing some players. It's
hard to know exactly what the mix is. Todd Bowles, Hey,
we could get some guys back. We might be missing
some guys. But the Bucks offense looks good. They're running
(35:59):
the ball away. Well, it's not gonna be just Rashad
White in his one point two yards per carry. Bucky
Irving is pretty good. Maybe Sean Tucker gets in the
mix at some point. But Baker Mayfield is legit now.
He is more legit than he's ever been in his career.
But people don't want to see it, or they just
ignore it because I'm s a good time to talking
about Baker Mayfield. This is the best he has played
in his NFL career, and seven and a half points
(36:22):
is a lot of points, all right now, I'm gonna
take every one of them. Sure I could. I think
they're gonna win on the field. Would it surprise me though?
If the if the Lions squeak out a field goal, win, Yeah,
but again, seven and a half points give me the Bucks.
I'll take every single one of those points.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I mean, remember, the Lions also took advantage of the
gifts given to them by McVeigh and Stafford when they
threw on second and five, stopping the clock when Kyri
and Williams ran out of bounds.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah, yeah, little.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
You know, nuanced things that you know maybe only a
dope like me, you know, the talking head, dope, basket case,
whatever else you said I might find. I am taking
your guy, your former guy. You cast him off.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Take Sam? Are you really? Sam Donald? Plus five at home?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Forty six and a half the total Aaron Jones in
the backfield. You've got balance, You've got definition, and you've
got a defense with some teeth, maybe maybe making life
difficult for Brock Party in company rock fight kind of game.
I'll expect the under here, but I'm gonna take Sam
Donald to win and to go to and O on
(37:26):
the air.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Okay, I told you there's only one thing about Sam
Donald that bothers me. He stinks. He had one game
against one of the three worst teams in the NFL. Okay, Okay,
let's see step let's say let's say, let's say if
he doesn't this one tough guy. I'm just saying you
went after me though, yours a personal attack on me
because you all you said was your guy. It's the
(37:48):
first filthy mouth you love. I'm taking your guy.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
How many hours did I have to deal with Fox
Sports Radio? Let me when you assaulted me by going
Sam's let me get the iPad out, and I'm taking
that personally. Damn.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Now, it doesn't matter how many points you are underdog by,
I will still take you. Give me the Rams plus
one against Arizona. I don't know why this is a
one point spread. I don't know why Arizona is favored.
It feels like a gift, which means it's probably a
trap game. But the Rams are so good. Yes, they
lost in Detroit in a game they could have pulled out.
(38:28):
They played incredibly well. No Puka nakua, it doesn't matter.
They just roll through skill guys and they still play well.
The defense was good enough. They got tired at the
end and into overtime. But they get this w against
the Arizona Cardinals and they go to one and one
and it's not particularly close. Give me the Rams in
this one getting a point.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
I would like to see the Cardinals go you like
that and run James Connor like he's David Montgomery.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
We're gonna do it again and again.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
They don't have the same personnel, so that will work.
I'm gonna look down the board a little bit. I
already took Sam Darnold, so that's one. Give me the
Raiders plus eight. I don't know that they win this
game outright, but I think Gardner Minshew, after all of
the Las Vegas scribes started making fun of the squad
that they come out and they just start winging it around.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Minshe's throwing the ball thirty eight times here in the
first half. A low right. You got a decent running game.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
You got a two headed monster there, Devontae Adams, Jacobi Myers,
the duel tight end.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
I think they can put up some points. All right,
there's our upset special Picks of the Week in theft.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
It's a magic number, man, I could lose by a
full touchdown.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
DJ, like Dick Van Patton told us a long time ago.
Eight is enough for this game, right, Fill our hearts
with love. Coming up next, we preview the game of
the week and talk about a quarterback that may not
be nearly as good as you think he is. This
is Fox
