Speaker 1 (00:00):
Me this afternoon at three for Bengals pep Rally on
the official home of the Bengals, Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.
Cincy three sixty is back on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's
sports station.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh yeah, we got picks to Megan Friday. It's our
three thanks to Penn Station. Thanks for listening to the
Friday football Frenzy. We disagreed on what the overall record
was from week one. I know you're about five games
ahead of me.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I'm going to go with what you said, which was
thirteen and six yep. For me, yep, and you were
what thirteen and six, that's nineteen. I think I had
eight wins. It pushed me at eight and eleven. Eight
and eleven, okay, so you've got the early lead if
I'm not mistaken. I was perfect in the high school.
You are five and oh you were all right, Well,
(00:50):
let's get it started. I'm eventually going to have to
start picking out the high school level with my head
and not my heart. But thus here we are again.
That's what led me to perfect lead.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Things off on a Friday, and they call them Purple
Fridays on the West Side Alta Aura. But this is
a battle on North Bend Road. Elder travels to Lasal
they take on the Lancers. Elder Lassal who you got?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I was talking with some people in the office this morning.
These are Westsiders, These are Purple Friday guys. These are
elder people. I was talking with and they said, tonight
maybe the last chance for Elder to get a win
for a while. Oh, because of that schedule. So for
that reason, I say, Elder understands the significance of what
is at stake. And they go on the road and
(01:35):
beat less oal.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Do Ramsey, the Panthers chug Ramsey and the Panthers stay perfect.
How about this the Fox nineteen game of the week
at the high school level? Three and oh Lebanon at
three and oh Anderson. If I'm not mistaken, We've said
this before. I think Anderson's coach is the one that
never punts.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It could be like fourth and thirty backed up on
their own ten yard line and they go for it.
They never punt. And I believe they kick on side
kicks exclusively. Okay, interesting with that, what you want, I'll
take Anderson. I think they're the Raptors now. Maybe the Raptors.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I was gonna say, I'll take Dan Campbell and Anderson
if that's the case. But more than anything, because I
once played a game at Lebanon when Sydney came down
to Lebanon to play a game and I made a
tackle and they announced tackle made on the play by
number seventy one, Austin Elmer.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Oh that's not my name, gimme Anderson. I like that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I like that good reasoning. Ye, Princeton is at Lakota West.
Princeton the Vikings at Lakota West. Yeah, what do you
think I got Lakota West. Okay, now who are you taking?
This is a tough one for me because Princeton at
the start of the year, they jumped out all over
(02:51):
Moller Moeller, came back and eventually wins the game. They
dominate cole Rain, which everyone's doing right now. They had
a good win on the road forty seven to nothing
at sick Of. I think this one's close. I just
think Lakota West is a little bit better in this one.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Tonight. You're following me around a board so far, yep,
here's well.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We probably won't differentiate here because uh, Sydney takes on
Butler tonight. Yeah, And I did my research, uh huh.
And last week Sydney was beaten down by Stebbins like
a Grand Canyon mule. Butler beat down Stebbins yep vs.
Av Yeah, Butler beats down Sydney. Butler got a decent
(03:30):
team this year. I was, I said last week, I expressed,
I expressed my doubts about the Yellow Jackets and the
regime change over there. And a source told me that
one and nine is less likely than er and ten
for the Yellow Jackets this year. So I'm gonna take
the Aviators at home, which is a beautiful stadium, beautiful stadium.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I'll take Butler at home.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
And then the right next door to the Sack by
the Way Activity Center, friendly confines of Deer Park High
School with my dear friend right down the hall, Willie Cunningham.
We've been going back and forth all week. We have
a double or nothing hot fudge Sunday bet on this
game tonight. I've said it once and I'll say it again.
You won't find a better zero to three team in
(04:17):
the Tri state area than the Reading Blue Devils. They
have been tested many times this year already. They played
a good Williamsburg team. They played a very good Batavia team.
They took Aiken to the ropes last week. Deer Park.
Not so much Belmont Schroeder, nor would they've not played anyone.
(04:40):
Reading has beaten Austin deer Park seven.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Years in a row.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Seven straight times have the Blue Devils beat the deer
Park Wildcats. Go ahead and mark it up. Make it eight.
Reading goes and gets some road kill. They beat the
deer Park Wildcats for the eighth straight year.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
My sources inside both organizations tell me In will play
a role in the availability of key players tonight, and
for that reason, I'll take deer Bark to end that streak.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Unbelievable. Let's get to the college game.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Number twelve, Clemson at Georgia Tech. Some are asking Austin,
is Clemson fraudulent? Is Dabo fraudulent? I don't think they are.
Because of the quarterback play. I'll take Clemson. They're only
laying three and a half. Give me the Tigers. Yeah,
this is a number that surprises me. I think Clemson
(05:29):
is better than three and a half, even if they're
on the road at Georgia Tech. I think this is
a get right game for the Tigers. They win comfortably.
Give me Clemson. What about the Crimson Tide. They're gonna
host Wisconsin. Yeah, and they're gonna lay twenty one and
a half for Luke Fickle squad. They're not good in Madison. No,
are they good enough to cover twenty one and a half?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Alabama will win this game running away. Kaylin de Boor
will quiet the doubters at least for a week. They'll
dominate Luke Fickle and everything will be good to go.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
This is classic late score lose by twenty. Bama wins
Wisconsin is the team that covers. Okay, Now, we have
a friend in the sales department that is a diehard
South Carolina fan. They're number eleven in the country. They
host the Diego Pavia, Pavia Pavia. He runs his mouth
(06:20):
a lot, he do be talking, but my goodness, has
he backed it up. It's a good football team and Vanderbilt,
but it's a really good South Carolina team. The number
is four and a half. I'm comfortable laying four and
a half with the game being at South Carolina. Give
me the game, cos yeah, I'm right there with you.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It's tough to go into the House of the Cocks
and come out victorious. I got South Carolina winning that
game and covering that four and a half and shutting
up Diego Pavia, Pavillo, whatever you want to call him. Yeah,
shut out Trey from Sales.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I do think those two teams do have a common opponent,
South Carolina, I believe. Have they already played Virginia Tech.
I believe they open season was forty four to eleven.
Van Dey dominate him forty four to twenty on the road.
There is a common opponent. But you and I both
agree South Carolina gets to win. How about Florida? The
(07:10):
gauntlet of the schedule just getting started. LSU not overwhelming
last week in their win Florida. Is there any chance
of a bounce back here? LSU is laying a little
more than a touchdown at seven and a half.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Two weeks into the season, the Florida Athletic director had
to issue a vote of confidence for Billy Napier in
a statement. The beatdown that he is about to receive
at the hands of Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers
in Baton Rouge is going to be so bad that
Florida has no chance, no choice but to fire Billy
Napier after this performance. LSU in a route.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
LSU's got the best quarterback in the country. They're at home,
they knock off the reeling Florida Gators Godigas. LSU wins,
and they cover Texas A and M at Notre Dame.
Austin the line of six and a half have not
seen Notre Dame since that disappointing opening loss. I think
they use the week off, they figure out that they
(08:05):
are a run first team. They pound the rock, they
beat Texas A and M, and they cover the number.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
To be honest with you, I thought that this game
was at Kyle Field, But you're telling me it's in
South Bend. Oh do you want me to double check?
Can you double check that for me? Let No, You're right,
I see it right here. It's at Notre Dame Stadium.
Damn it. I had already taken Texas A and I'm
so I'm gonna stick with Texas A and M.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
All right, how about this one early good SEC matchup,
at least on paper. Georgia, who I feel like I
don't know anything about against Tennessee. The volunteers are playing
host to Georgia and the line is three and a half,
getting three and a half for the home team, What
do you think.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Georgia is going to smoke these dudes. Tennessee doesn't deserve
my love after switching to Adidas.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I think the environment's going to be awesome. I think
Rocky Top's going to be rocking through that field. But
I think at the end of the day, Georgia easily
covers three and a half. I was shocked it was
just three and a half. I think Tennessee's still breaking
in a new quarterback. Give me the Bulldogs South Florida.
Impressive resume so far, Boise, they beat Florida, They're not
(09:17):
gonna sneak up on anyone anymore. They go to number
five Miami. I was a little surprised at this being
seventeen and a half, so much so Austin that I'm like, well,
that number is way too high. And then I remembered
our good friend Dan Horde, and he said, if you're
surprised by a spread, someone knows something that you don't.
I'm surprised at seventeen and a half. That's why I'm taking.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Miami all right, I'm gonna take South Florida because it's
never easy with the Hurricanes. They always find a way
to make it more difficult than it's supposed to be.
And I think there's a chance USF knocks him off
and becomes the story of college football more than they
already are. But if they don't, I think it's a
close game. Okay, the Bobby's versus the BUCkies. Oh you
(10:01):
at number one Ohio State Bobby's BUCkies thirty and a half?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Is that too many points? Austin?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
At first I said yes, I really did. But I
still believe in Ohio State. And it's gonna be a
night game, a night atmosphere at Ohio Stadium. Buckey's fans
only get one or two of those a year, usually
only one. They're gonna go nuts for This atmosphere is
gonna be awesome. Buckeyes will cover that. They're gonna win
by five touchdowns. At least that would be good for
(10:28):
thirty five points.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Don't think it's gonna be an easy game.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I wouldn't be surprised if at the half Ohio is
hanging in there.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I do for what it's worth, Like the over in
this game, because I do think, oh, you will score
some points. Finally, this number just came up. Okay, I
just checked with DraftKings. Northwestern State at Cincinnati forty three
and a half. Ooh, forty three and a half. I'd
take it up to sixty three and a half if
I had to give me the Bearcats to run rampant
(10:56):
on the Demons tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, you said that the expectations should be to win
this game by fifty, and I stick with that. Sanderfield's
a bunch goes cuckoo for Coco puffs at Uppert Stadium
in a blackhouse, all right, for the Bearcats, gimme uc oh, oh,
you see there it is.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Let's get through. The NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Bears at Lions minus six and a half. I think
the Lions bounce back, and I think they have something
for their former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Ben Johnson knows them too well. Bears cover.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
They lose the game, but they cover six and a
half in a close one in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
All right. Bear Bills at Jets. For whatever reason, I
feel like the Jets always played pretty well against the Bills.
I don't think the Jets win the game. I do
think they cover six and a half at home.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think this line is an overreaction to a bad
Buffalo defense and a good Jets offense in Week number one.
Water finds its level, Buffalo covers the number, dominates a Jets.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I like this some separation here. Seahawks at Steelers. Super
impressed with that Steelers offense. I think their defense finds
their level and I think they care the Seahawks at
home and cover the number.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I do have the Steelers covering, but I do think
there's a good chance Seattle wins this game. I think
it's a low scoring game. I think the defenses kind
of start to show up a little bit here. I'm
a big fantas Seattle's defense. I'm gonna say Seattle keeps
it close, but Pittsburgh wins twenty four to twenty and
covers at number.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Broncos at Colts, I think I already know where you're
leaning in this one. Colts were very impressive in Week one.
I just need to see more of it. I think
bo Knicks and Denver they need a rebound from their
Week one, albeit a win was not pretty. Give me
the Broncos to cover one and a half as the
cults of the home doging. I'm right there with you,
uh Bucks at Texans. I put this on there because
(12:40):
I think it's an interesting one. Because the Texans start
zero to one, Bucks come from behind and get a
win in week one. Texans do not want to start
zering two. But I also think that the Bucks are
going to be a team that people think can go
the distance in the NFC. These are exactly the types
of games you go on the road and win, and
for that reason, I'll take the Bucks minus two.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And a half.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't know what you've chosen as your win Schulers
cheesy spread of the week, but this one is the
one that jumped off the paper at me. It stinks
to high Heaven give me Tampa to crush this number.
Did you take the Texans? You took the Bucks. I'm
with the Bucks. I don't get that. I don't understand
why the Texans are favorite.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
What about the Browns and the Ravens. I always throw
the AFC North games on here, but the numbers eleven
and a half. I know Cleveland played well last week.
I know the Ravens had the absolute melt down at
the end. I think the Ravens get right I'll lay
the eleven and a half.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, I'm right there with you. Thirtieth anniversary. I just
saw that they painted the end zones the way they
did originally thirty years ago in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
It's gonna be sick. Give me Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Eagles at Chiefs Super Bowl rematch. Chiefs feel like they're
reeling a little bit. I saw earlier in the week.
Does anyone fear the Chiefs anymore? That's a great question.
I don't think the Eagles do. I think they go
in as a one and a half point road favorite
and they win the game and cover the number.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
This is a voodoo magic, evil Chiefs victory. They find
a way to win that they're not supposed to and
they cover that number. I got Kansas City winning.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Now, normally it's one thing just to do it because
it's local, but I think nationally this is one of
those games you got to keep an eye on. So
let's make this Austin our win Shualers Spread of the weekend. Okay,
can we do that?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Thank you to our friends at win Shulers. They're delicious
cheese spreads. Don't ask why they're so delicious, Just go
taste why they're so delicious. Make sure that your whether
it's a watch party, your holiday parties, whatever it may be,
there it is, make sure you have win Shulers. Head
to the dairy section your favorite grocery store while supply
still meets demand. Elevate your taste, game and your party
(14:45):
with win Shulers. Bengals Jags three and a half point favorite,
usually two and a half three points for just being
the home team, which I think makes this almost to
pick them. I think the Bengals make a statement. I
think the Bengals for the first time under Zach Taylor,
winning weeks, for the first time under Joe Burrow, they
go to and zero. Give me the Bengals to knock
off the Jags and cover the number.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
A lot of people didn't hear this earlier this week
when Zach Taylor met with the media, but when he did,
he dropped the Marvin Lewis line. Oh, he said, I
see better than I hear. Those were the exact words
that came out of the mouth of Zach Taylor, and
I stand by those words. I see better than I
hear when it comes to the Bengals defense, I saw
(15:26):
a little bit of it against the Cleveland Browns, but
I didn't see enough of it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I'm not confident enough.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I've said all summer that this is a trap game
and the Bengals need to watch out for it. I
don't want to do this, but I think Jacksonville wins
the game, and so for that reason, I think they
cover the number.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I'll take the Jags here it is.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
That's our picks. If you agree or disagreed, let us
know at Tony Underscore Pike fifteen at Audiellmore a quick
touch and go when we come back, and then we
will open it up for quick hits. Still to go
Friday Football, Friends of ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Lowegar. Reality is they're probably not good enough. He dissects
the local sports scenes. They're not consistent enough.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
The way a fourth grader dissects across not reliable.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Moeger Today at three on ESPN fifteen point thirty
Me this afternoon at three for Bengals pep Rally on
the official home of the Bengals, Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.
Cincy three sixty is back on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's
sports station.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh yeah, we got picks to Megan Friday. It's our
three thanks to Penn Station. Thanks for listening to the
Friday football Frenzy. We disagreed on what the overall record
was from week one. I know you're about five games
ahead of me.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I'm going to go with what you said, which was
thirteen and six yep. For me, yep, and you were
what thirteen and six, that's nineteen. I think I had
eight wins. It pushed me at eight and eleven. Eight
and eleven, okay, so you've got the early lead if
I'm not mistaken. I was perfect in the high school.
You are five and oh you were all right, Well,
(00:50):
let's get it started. I'm eventually going to have to
start picking out the high school level with my head
and not my heart. But thus here we are again.
That's what led me to perfect lead.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Things off on a Friday, and they call them Purple
Fridays on the West Side Alta Aura. But this is
a battle on North Bend Road. Elder travels to Lasal
they take on the Lancers. Elder Lassal who you got?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I was talking with some people in the office this morning.
These are Westsiders, These are Purple Friday guys. These are
elder people. I was talking with and they said, tonight
maybe the last chance for Elder to get a win
for a while. Oh, because of that schedule. So for
that reason, I say, Elder understands the significance of what
is at stake. And they go on the road and
(01:35):
beat less oal.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Do Ramsey, the Panthers chug Ramsey and the Panthers stay perfect.
How about this the Fox nineteen game of the week
at the high school level? Three and oh Lebanon at
three and oh Anderson. If I'm not mistaken, We've said
this before. I think Anderson's coach is the one that
never punts.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It could be like fourth and thirty backed up on
their own ten yard line and they go for it.
They never punt. And I believe they kick on side
kicks exclusively. Okay, interesting with that, what you want, I'll
take Anderson. I think they're the Raptors now. Maybe the Raptors.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I was gonna say, I'll take Dan Campbell and Anderson
if that's the case. But more than anything, because I
once played a game at Lebanon when Sydney came down
to Lebanon to play a game and I made a

number seventy one, Austin Elmer.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Oh that's not my name, gimme Anderson. I like that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I like that good reasoning. Ye, Princeton is at Lakota West.
Princeton the Vikings at Lakota West. Yeah, what do you
think I got Lakota West. Okay, now who are you taking?
This is a tough one for me because Princeton at
the start of the year, they jumped out all over
(02:51):
Moller Moeller, came back and eventually wins the game. They
dominate cole Rain, which everyone's doing right now. They had
a good win on the road forty seven to nothing
at sick Of. I think this one's close. I just
think Lakota West is a little bit better in this one.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Tonight. You're following me around a board so far, yep,
here's well.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We probably won't differentiate here because uh, Sydney takes on
Butler tonight. Yeah, And I did my research, uh huh.
And last week Sydney was beaten down by Stebbins like
a Grand Canyon mule. Butler beat down Stebbins yep vs.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
I'll take Butler at home.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
And then the right next door to the Sack by
the Way Activity Center, friendly confines of Deer Park High
School with my dear friend right down the hall, Willie Cunningham.
We've been going back and forth all week. We have
a double or nothing hot fudge Sunday bet on this
game tonight. I've said it once and I'll say it again.
You won't find a better zero to three team in
(04:17):
the Tri state area than the Reading Blue Devils. They
have been tested many times this year already. They played
a good Williamsburg team. They played a very good Batavia team.
They took Aiken to the ropes last week. Deer Park.

a friend in the sales department that is a diehard

host the Diego Pavia, Pavia Pavia. He runs his mouth

a lot, he do be talking, but my goodness, has
he backed it up. It's a good football team and Vanderbilt,

I do think those two teams do have a common opponent,
South Carolina, I believe. Have they already played Virginia Tech.
I believe they open season was forty four to eleven.
Van Dey dominate him forty four to twenty on the road.
There is a common opponent. But you and I both
agree South Carolina gets to win. How about Florida? The
(07:10):
gauntlet of the schedule just getting started. LSU not overwhelming

of a bounce back here? LSU is laying a little
more than a touchdown at seven and a half.

To be honest with you, I thought that this game
was at Kyle Field, But you're telling me it's in
South Bend. Oh do you want me to double check?
Can you double check that for me? Let No, You're right,
I see it right here. It's at Notre Dame Stadium.
Damn it. I had already taken Texas A and I'm
so I'm gonna stick with Texas A and M.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
All right, how about this one early good SEC matchup,
at least on paper. Georgia, who I feel like I
don't know anything about against Tennessee. The volunteers are playing
host to Georgia and the line is three and a half,
getting three and a half for the home team, What
do you think.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Georgia is going to smoke these dudes. Tennessee doesn't deserve
my love after switching to Adidas.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I think the environment's going to be awesome. I think
Rocky Top's going to be rocking through that field. But
I think at the end of the day, Georgia easily
covers three and a half. I was shocked it was
just three and a half. I think Tennessee's still breaking
in a new quarterback. Give me the Bulldogs South Florida.
Impressive resume so far, Boise, they beat Florida, They're not
(09:17):
gonna sneak up on anyone anymore. They go to number
five Miami. I was a little surprised at this being
seventeen and a half, so much so Austin that I'm like, well,
that number is way too high. And then I remembered
our good friend Dan Horde, and he said, if you're
surprised by a spread, someone knows something that you don't.
I'm surprised at seventeen and a half. That's why I'm taking.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Miami all right, I'm gonna take South Florida because it's
never easy with the Hurricanes. They always find a way
to make it more difficult than it's supposed to be.
And I think there's a chance USF knocks him off
and becomes the story of college football more than they
already are. But if they don't, I think it's a
close game. Okay, the Bobby's versus the BUCkies. Oh you
(10:01):
at number one Ohio State Bobby's BUCkies thirty and a half?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Is that too many points? Austin?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
At first I said yes, I really did. But I
still believe in Ohio State. And it's gonna be a
night game, a night atmosphere at Ohio Stadium. Buckey's fans
only get one or two of those a year, usually
only one. They're gonna go nuts for This atmosphere is
gonna be awesome. Buckeyes will cover that. They're gonna win
by five touchdowns. At least that would be good for
(10:28):
thirty five points.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Don't think it's gonna be an easy game.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I wouldn't be surprised if at the half Ohio is
hanging in there.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I do for what it's worth, Like the over in
this game, because I do think, oh, you will score
some points. Finally, this number just came up. Okay, I
just checked with DraftKings. Northwestern State at Cincinnati forty three
and a half. Ooh, forty three and a half. I'd
take it up to sixty three and a half if
I had to give me the Bearcats to run rampant
(10:56):
on the Demons tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, you said that the expectations should be to win
this game by fifty, and I stick with that. Sanderfield's
a bunch goes cuckoo for Coco puffs at Uppert Stadium
in a blackhouse, all right, for the Bearcats, gimme uc oh, oh,
you see there it is.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Let's get through. The NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Bears at Lions minus six and a half. I think
the Lions bounce back, and I think they have something
for their former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Ben Johnson knows them too well. Bears cover.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
They lose the game, but they cover six and a
half in a close one in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
All right. Bear Bills at Jets. For whatever reason, I
feel like the Jets always played pretty well against the Bills.
I don't think the Jets win the game. I do
think they cover six and a half at home.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think this line is an overreaction to a bad
Buffalo defense and a good Jets offense in Week number one.
Water finds its level, Buffalo covers the number, dominates a Jets.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I like this some separation here. Seahawks at Steelers. Super
impressed with that Steelers offense. I think their defense finds
their level and I think they care the Seahawks at
home and cover the number.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I do have the Steelers covering, but I do think
there's a good chance Seattle wins this game. I think
it's a low scoring game. I think the defenses kind
of start to show up a little bit here. I'm
a big fantas Seattle's defense. I'm gonna say Seattle keeps
it close, but Pittsburgh wins twenty four to twenty and
covers at number.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Broncos at Colts, I think I already know where you're
leaning in this one. Colts were very impressive in Week one.
I just need to see more of it. I think
bo Knicks and Denver they need a rebound from their
Week one, albeit a win was not pretty. Give me
the Broncos to cover one and a half as the
cults of the home doging. I'm right there with you,
uh Bucks at Texans. I put this on there because
(12:40):
I think it's an interesting one. Because the Texans start
zero to one, Bucks come from behind and get a
win in week one. Texans do not want to start
zering two. But I also think that the Bucks are
going to be a team that people think can go
the distance in the NFC. These are exactly the types
of games you go on the road and win, and
for that reason, I'll take the Bucks minus two.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And a half.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't know what you've chosen as your win Schulers
cheesy spread of the week, but this one is the
one that jumped off the paper at me. It stinks
to high Heaven give me Tampa to crush this number.
Did you take the Texans? You took the Bucks. I'm
with the Bucks. I don't get that. I don't understand
why the Texans are favorite.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
What about the Browns and the Ravens. I always throw
the AFC North games on here, but the numbers eleven
and a half. I know Cleveland played well last week.
I know the Ravens had the absolute melt down at
the end. I think the Ravens get right I'll lay
the eleven and a half.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, I'm right there with you. Thirtieth anniversary. I just
saw that they painted the end zones the way they
did originally thirty years ago in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
It's gonna be sick. Give me Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Eagles at Chiefs Super Bowl rematch. Chiefs feel like they're
reeling a little bit. I saw earlier in the week.
Does anyone fear the Chiefs anymore? That's a great question.
I don't think the Eagles do. I think they go
in as a one and a half point road favorite
and they win the game and cover the number.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
This is a voodoo magic, evil Chiefs victory. They find
a way to win that they're not supposed to and
they cover that number. I got Kansas City winning.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Now, normally it's one thing just to do it because
it's local, but I think nationally this is one of
those games you got to keep an eye on. So
let's make this Austin our win Shualers Spread of the weekend. Okay,
can we do that?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:22):

(14:45):
with win Shulers. Bengals Jags three and a half point favorite,
usually two and a half three points for just being
the home team, which I think makes this almost to
pick them. I think the Bengals make a statement. I
think the Bengals for the first time under Zach Taylor,
winning weeks, for the first time under Joe Burrow, they
go to and zero. Give me the Bengals to knock
off the Jags and cover the number.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
A lot of people didn't hear this earlier this week
when Zach Taylor met with the media, but when he did,
he dropped the Marvin Lewis line. Oh, he said, I
see better than I hear. Those were the exact words
that came out of the mouth of Zach Taylor, and
I stand by those words. I see better than I
hear when it comes to the Bengals defense, I saw
(15:26):
a little bit of it against the Cleveland Browns, but
I didn't see enough of it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I'm not confident enough.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I've said all summer that this is a trap game
and the Bengals need to watch out for it. I
don't want to do this, but I think Jacksonville wins
the game, and so for that reason, I think they
cover the number.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I'll take the Jags here it is.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
That's our picks. If you agree or disagreed, let us
know at Tony Underscore Pike fifteen at Audiellmore a quick
touch and go when we come back, and then we
will open it up for quick hits. Still to go
