Let's get it on.
That's it.
That's all.
Let's get it on, baby.
It's playoff time on the Get Sunday Comfort podcast.
It is Wednesday, December 11th.
Brandon Jordan and Cody here to talk about that is to come.
Guys, how'd we do?
Give me a quick breakdown.
Tell me about the leagues you made it in.
The leagues didn't.
Maybe some brief thoughts on those respective teams.
How we doing, fellas?
I'm doing good.
I'm still getting over the sickness I have.
Welcome back, Jordan.
Good to have you back.
Glad to be back.
You sound like a predator, man.
My voice, man.
I'm telling you, it's like a three-day span there where the only way I could talk is if
I whispered is kind of a thing where you were almost like going through puberty and sick
at the same time.
Your voice was cracking and you couldn't like, three words.
So it was tough.
But I'm feeling better.
Feeling pretty good about fantasy, too.
I have the number one seed in the GSC main league.
So I have a buy.
The first time I ever had a buy.
I feel really good about my team in that league.
I've made multiple trades this year.
I don't know if I hurt or helped my team, but I feel good.
We were talking before we came on about it's kind of one of those things where I'm kind
of at a position where it's like, man, I don't know who to start.
I have quality guys on my bench and it's just a good problem to have.
So I feel a lot better in that league than I do my own league.
I'm a six seed in my league going up against the number three seed.
I was actually seeing comments.
I sent you a picture about this, Cody.
I thought it was a good explanation of it that he has Josh Allen and I do not want to
go through the Josh Allen experience this next week.
So he also has Jaylin Hurts.
So hopefully he plays the wrong guy against me this week and my team has another big week
like we did this week and we can get an upset and move on the playoffs.
But that's what it's all about, right?
Just making the playoffs and hope for the best at that point.
Just give yourself a chance, man.
Yeah, big shout out to you, man.
I would expect nothing less.
I am stoked for you, but I am coming for you.
So I'm hopeful that I can at least give you a challenge, but that's good shit, man.
Brennan, what about you?
I feel like you probably have a little bit more to report than Jordan did.
Yeah, so of my seven leagues, I made six of them for playoffs.
Two leagues.
I'm the sixth seed, which is one of which is the main two leagues.
I'm a three seed, one seed.
I'm the four seed.
And then in the mountain west, I got the two seed.
So in my own kind of division, I'm happy to have that by this week.
Definitely those six seed games are those three V sixes are going to be some battles
for sure.
But yeah, foreshadowing there, but a little just a smidge, a little foreshadowing.
Okay.
All right.
I mean, all in all, I mean, the one league I didn't make playoffs in was a best ball
league, so I got plagued with injuries pretty bad in that league.
So I don't know you got duped in Best Bar.
Yeah, I got that, bro.
I had some weeks where I had like three games where I lost by like less than five points.
So I got pretty screwed in that league.
Injuries really killed me.
And then I mean, I didn't I drafted a Hollywood Brown and didn't even get him for a single
game this season.
So kind of got screwed.
That's a mistake.
Yeah, but all in all,
I mean, Hollywood Brown was waived today.
No, excuse me.
No, I was cadarius.
Cadarius Tony.
Yeah.
He was with the relevant.
Yeah.
But no one wants it anyway.
But yeah, no, I mean, I can't be mad, make in playoffs in all the leagues where I'm able
to actually kind of control my team's destiny.
So I'm I'm satisfied with that.
Good shit, man.
Good shit.
You guys obviously Jordan.
Not terrible.
Not great.
I've got the one seed in two of my leagues.
Only one of them matters.
I've got a three seed, a four seed and eight seed and I was eliminated in three of them.
But I'll I'll go into the first round of the playoffs with some positivity.
I won our second chance survivor league.
So I'll put that in my pocket and rub it like a little rabbit's foot, I suppose.
I'm gonna need some help.
Runs out real quick.
Hey, dude, I'm gonna need some help.
I do know that.
But the two leagues that I have the one seed in.
I'm destroying everybody in points four.
So I don't know, either I did something really right or everybody else is just not on par.
But it is a it is a little nerve wracking going into playoffs.
And I'm sure you guys can relate and I'm sure you guys that are listening can relate.
It doesn't really matter what seed you are.
Brandon, I think you may be able to argue that a little later.
But as long as you make it into the playoff bracket, you have a chance, right?
And here's what I want to talk about with you guys today.
Let's go over some players that scare you.
Coming in to fantasy playoffs.
And the reason I bring this up, let's talk about Josh Allen.
This last weekend, dude.
The most points in, I don't know how long, how long has it been?
Like maybe ever fantasy points, three rushing touchdowns, three passing touchdowns.
Dude went off.
If you had Josh Allen and you lost, I feel, I feel real bad for you.
And if you have Josh Allen going into the playoffs, I'm real scared of you.
But the reason I bring this up is because this is the part of the year where I start
freaking out about obviously matchups and, you know, the start situation, but are some
of these big, like huge point scores for your teams?
Are they going to start, you know, toning it back?
Or are they still playing for incentives, et cetera?
Like you look at some of the division winners and the teams that are, you know, officially
out of it.
How do you guys feel about players that scare you for fantasy playoffs?
So are you, do you mean as far as like with Josh Allen, am I scared to play him?
Or is it?
No, I mean as, I give you a stock of Josh Allen, are you, that you have on your team?
Or say that one more time.
Excuse me.
So if you have some of these players that are, are pocketing you huge points up until
this point, you're worried about that.
We've got three weeks.
We've got three weeks to get through.
Are you confident in these guys to continue to produce the way that they are?
Or are you a little bit nervous that maybe just maybe they don't know it back.
Like, like look at some of the division winners, Josh Allen for prime example.
Is he going to keep, you know, throw in the rock or is he going to tone it back because
they already won in the division and they're in.
At least for Josh Allen for me, I think he's going for an MVP.
He's going for a special season.
So the type of player he is, I don't think he's still in their back.
If I had Josh Allen right now, I would trade Josh Allen for the Marjaxon right now for,
and I throw Zay flowers with it to get Josh Allen the way he's playing right now.
I think he's going to put the bills on his back and I mean, they're a, I feel like it's
crazy to even talk about him having that type of game and they lose, you know, that's the
scary thing.
They have a game like that and you lose.
That's what, you know, yeah, obviously he would prefer the win, but it's a huge game
for him.
I think Josh Allen is one of those players that's going to turn it up.
I feel like the guy on his team that you might be hurting if you got James Cook.
I feel like Josh Allen obviously took away from James Cook big time this past weekend.
And I think that's only going to continue.
I think they're just realizing Josh Allen is, is the man just give the ball and keep
the ball in his hands.
Let him decide.
You know, there's other guys, you could be worried about Travis Kelsey.
I think he's still consistent.
He's not getting those big fantasy point games like he has cause I know a gray and I think
the chiefs offense, I mean, the chiefs are winning ugly games, man.
They're a wins a win.
You know, this isn't the 2020, 2021 chiefs when my home was just splitting up between
40 and 50 touchdowns.
I don't know.
And then on the, you know, the flip side of that, what do you, you know, some of these
guys you'd like look at like the check, are we coming back from injury?
I don't feel like he's done much since he's come back from injury, but that falls back.
Once again, I just feel in the chiefs, they're not playing offensively too well right now.
Um, I don't know.
You got, you know, the guys on Detroit, um, two running backs.
I think I don't know if I was talking with you, Cody, about this, I think I was talking
with Rob.
Um, cause, you know, obviously if you have Gibbs or Montgomery, one or the other, you
wish the other guy gets hurt or you don't want him to play like you want something to
happen where your guys, the main guy, but I was even telling Rob, I said, if I had both
Detroit running backs on my team for some reason, I'm starting them every week.
Like at this point, but how Detroit is how they run the ball and their offensiveness
with their team.
Um, same thing.
I don't think Dan Campbell's, I think if anything with some of these teams, um, it's
why fantasy, if you're your championship game should be the week before the final week in
case guys, teams do rest players.
So I think all these teams will be playing up until that point.
And then maybe the last week of the season, um, obviously you might be worried with guys
sitting and stuff like that.
But I think for the most part, man, this year, I think, I think teams are still, uh, bad,
bad on it out, you know, especially with the bills and the Steelers, like they still have
a chance at that one seed if Kansas city falters down here at the end.
So some of these teams are still playing, you know, Baltimore, we're trying to get the
division over, over Pittsburgh.
So I don't know, I don't know.
I, I feel like I'm playing everyone with full confidence.
A lot of these games coming down at the end of division.
Yeah.
So, so nothing's changed for you.
Like you got these guys on your, on your lineup, you're just going to keep playing them.
Yeah.
I'm going to keep, keep rolling them.
Um, there might be the exception, you know, where whatever someone gets injured for, for
instance, the San Francisco, uh, they lost both their running backs with CMC and, uh,
Jordan Mason, Jordan Mason.
Thank you.
Um, and that Gurendo kid came in and played awesome and then he went down out.
Patrick Taylor.
I just think anyone who's running in that offense is going to do good.
So, um, maybe a situation like that where you have a team where someone gets injured
is Zach Sharpen a type thing and he's on waivers.
Like maybe I'm going to plug and play him over someone just cause I know he's going
to get the ball so much.
But other than that, no, I'm rolling with the guys I rolled with all year and the guys
who got me here.
It's, it's, uh, Brandon, I'll let you go here in just a second, but I just wanted to chime
in like it's funny that you say that like, well, like maybe he's available on waivers.
I wish I played in a league where some of these guys were available on waivers because
you're usually I listened, I listened to fantasy football today and the fantasy football
or just stuff like that.
And for our leagues, especially the ones that I play in with you two, no chance.
Like these guys have been owned for or rostered for a couple of weeks at least.
I'm looking at our waiver wire tonight and I'm like, I don't really have anybody that
I'd rather give up for the guys that are on the waiver wire right now.
Like I kind of just have to roll with it.
But it's interesting that you bring that up.
Brandon, what are your thoughts on that?
So I think all in all, I'm okay with everyone right now week 15 and 16.
I think the question is where do things line up week 17 in terms of K does Detroit lock
up the NFC number one seed because the Eagles are right behind them.
Then you and you also have Minnesota right on their tail too.
Yeah, I mean, that's going to be the question if you have any Lions players.
Then you're looking at the AFC.
Yeah, Kansas City's two games up on Buffalo right now.
Kansas City loses a game and Pittsburgh makes things interesting in those terms for that
one seed.
So I think it's going to come down to least probably the end of week 17, seeing where
kind of these guys are.
I don't think anyone's really going to rest until week 18, which is normal as usual.
Plus, I don't think as a player, you want to take a rest week 17 and week 18, because
then that scares me going into actual NFL playoffs because if you're not playing for
a month, I don't know, man.
I just I don't think it's needed.
And I mean, if I'm someone like Kansas City, I'm playing everyone at least till week 18
the end of the first half, because you're going to have a bye week.
So you're going to have a you're going to not play your team week 18 and your starters
week 18, and then you're going to have a bye week.
So you're going to have three weeks of rest.
I don't know, man.
I think everyone's in the way and I think, you know, I think things will be just fine
all in all in fantasy.
I think that's a great point.
And it's kind of interesting to me when you when you think about everything that you just
said, plus like player incentives.
Yeah, like I wish I was a little bit more educated on that.
But I know a lot of these guys are, you know, playing for, you know, a couple million dollars
more if they hit these certain incentives.
And that that gives me, I guess, hope.
But at the same time, I'm like, shit, man, if if you've got players like, you know,
marquee players that are really in this and you're risking them getting injured going
into the playoffs, like I overanalyzed this.
That's the story I'm really trying to tell right now.
And I think that's honestly my my crutch.
What it comes to fantasy football is when it gets to this point, I really start to overanalyze
it because I get scared of some of these things.
If it's like, I have to hear fumbles the bag.
Okay, you know, fumbles the bag.
I didn't need that brand.
It thanks.
You're right.
It does.
And I think that's part of it.
That's that's what I'm saying.
Like I, I get scared of some of these players.
And if I'm being honest, I think rightfully so.
Like I look at some of these guys that are essentially out of it.
Right.
And speaking as a Brock Bowers, Jacoby Myers manager, I'm terrified, dude.
They're not going to give me the championship.
And I, I say that knowing what's at risk, but what am I supposed to do at this point?
You know what I mean?
Like I had a couple of different trade offers for Brock Bowers throughout the season.
I said, absolutely not.
Jordan, what did I tell you?
I'm going to ride Brock Bowers.
Yeah, I'm glad I didn't trade over here.
Now I was a third string quarterback, throw into him.
So Jacoby Myers, they've gotten me through the last few weeks.
They got me the three seed.
All right.
How do you sit him?
You don't sit him.
You're not sitting.
You can't.
You can't perform like, I mean, Michael Mayer out performed him last week, but yeah, you
just can't.
Yeah.
I mean, that's, that's, and that's what I'm saying.
This is, this is where I start to overanalyze everything.
Like who am I going to pick up on the waiver wire for Brock Bowers?
Like there's nobody.
Look at our league.
Jake Ferguson, Dalton Kincaid, Hunter Henry, maybe the good thing about, I'd rather take
the upside of Bowers.
Yeah.
I agree.
And usually with backups, they're always looking for short passes and usually going
to a tight end or running back for a dump out.
So right.
So that's what I'm saying.
Like you get to this point in the season and I just wish I could be on the fly, a fly
on the wall for some of these teams and understand exactly what they're doing is can we get this
guy his incentive?
Do we tone this guy back?
Cause we don't want him hurt for next season.
You know what I mean?
God forbid they go out next week against the bucks or excuse me, the Falcons, Brock Bowers
tears his ACO.
He's going to miss eight weeks next year, nine weeks next year.
But you ain't, why would they do that?
You're not, you're not shutting guys down at this point in the season.
If you're out of it, you're, you're still a professional team.
You still want to win games.
Like, I mean, I hope so.
Yeah.
These guys do have incentives.
I mean, I look at say,
I would be worried about guys being sat.
Your situation, I'm playing Bowers.
I'm probably playing Myers too.
I mean that, the Riddler kid, I don't have any faith in him.
I didn't think I, I think Aiden O'Connell is bad and I think this kid is like 10 times
worse than Aiden O'Connell.
So it's,
Don't say that.
It's, it's not good.
Like, we can go back to whatever it was like episode three when I was so hyped on Zemir
White, like this all goes back to Zemir White.
Every podcast goes back to Zemir White and the Raiders about how terrible this season
is.
Like Brock Bowers is some sort of light in the desert there.
So yeah, you don't sit him hard to sit Myers.
Um, I mean, some of these losing teams man, like, uh, like the bangles, like they still
have an outside chance.
If they went out, they need some teams lose, they could still make it.
Um, which is embarrassing.
Like look at that offense man.
Jamar Chase is the number one wide receiver.
Burrow's got to be a top five QB.
Burrow would probably be an MVP candidate if the bangles record was flipped.
Um, I don't know, but yeah, you know, you're not sitting Joe Burrow or Jamar Chase going
in the playoffs for no reason.
Like I don't see that happening.
Playing with the Browns.
Um, but I don't know if you guys have the schedule, man.
I don't know if it's like this every year, but a lot of these games coming down at the
end are all divisional games.
Like there's maybe one game where it's like not a divisional opponent.
So it's like I'm scared with Lamar.
I think it's weeks 16 or 17, 17.
They played the Steelers.
Like I could be in the championship with Lamar Jackson planning against Steelers.
What do I play Caleb Williams?
And I think he's playing.
You don't play Caleb Williams.
I'll tell you that.
Hey, he outscored the Mar two weeks ago.
I don't know.
So it's just, it's one of those things where maybe you look at the matchup too, but some
of these guys you're just, you're playing no matter what jets.
I think they're in the same boat.
Aaron Rogers wants to play.
He looks like he wants to win just cause that he wants to.
It's not happening on the field.
Um, the volunteer Adams had a great game for me last week.
Derek Paul had a great game.
So dudes are still putting up numbers on these losing teams.
So I'm, I got no other options in my other league.
So you just got to ride with some of these guys.
Yeah.
How do you, so you mentioned at the top of the show, Jordan, that you've got a lot of
options on your bench, which is great for you.
Cause I don't.
So.
Seriously, when it comes down to this, how much do you invest into like the matchup and
are you considering any of that?
Are you just going based off of projections?
I guess this question is for both of you.
Honestly, since, since we're all on the playoffs and most of our leagues, how do you make that
determination?
I don't know.
I don't know, I usually, I'm usually never really looking at projections.
Um, maybe the one thing that might sway me a little bit is if one of these games in Pittsburgh
or Cleveland or Buffalo, whatever, whether, whether it's just going to be terrible.
Um, definitely influence me.
Um, if I had a receiver or something, if I had a running back, obviously I'd probably
still play the running back cause the running game would be heavy.
Um, but as I was just talking about, like I am kind of scared with Lamar, um, obviously
I'm me being a Steelers fan.
Lamar has struggled mightily against Steelers for some reason.
So that might play in, but it comes back to one of those things.
Like you were saying, like you're looking at the waivers.
Like, who are you going to pick up?
Who am I going to pick up and play over Lamar Jackson and Lamar puts up 35 against Pittsburgh.
You know, so it's just like, I just think you just have to play the upside on these
guys to where, you know, the guys that you've been playing all year that have been getting
you these points.
Obviously you have weeks where you start the wrong guy, the guy on the bench puts up 20
and the guy you played puts up seven, you know?
Um, it's just one of those things.
I don't know.
I said, I don't really look into matchups too much, um, especially divisional games.
Man, I feel like they could be low scores, high scores or kind of just middle of the
road game, but I don't know.
It's just, you know, I'm sure you guys do the same thing.
Pretty much anyone that plays fantasy is, you know, looking at stuff Sunday morning before
the game starts seeing what weather is, seeing how players are, if they had any type of injury
report, you know, um, and then just going with your feel.
I don't know.
It's kind of how I go.
I just look at it and hope you made the right decision at the end of the day.
You're 90, 10 rule.
What about, what about you, Brandon?
Are there any decisions that you're going through right now?
What are you trying to figure out with your teams?
I'm just figure trying to figure out the best lineup to put together possible.
They even have a remote chance.
I mean, I barely squeezed into playoffs in Maine.
Uh, shout out seven.
Thank you.
Can we, can we talk about that for a second?
I'm walk us through how this happened.
So I'll go through how you made it into the playoffs for GSC main.
Uh, I had a great.
It was crazy.
I was six and four dropped the last four games of the season, but thanks to my points
for six and two.
I got that.
Finish the season six and eight.
And yeah, I mean, I got lucky.
I said it full blown on the podcast last week.
I had zero hope of actually making playoffs.
I got lucky.
I, uh, shout out seven seven beat Stefan and the tiebreaker is points four.
And that's how I got my way.
Super wild the way that that panned out, um, for those of you that are listening, uh,
check out our YouTube go back.
You can get a little bit of, um, personalism to these players.
Uh, the episode is titled Drax them's clowns.
He's no longer, he's war daddy now.
We're all talking about thunder cloud.
The way that this panned out was Brandon and Stefan essentially both needed a win to get
in, right?
But Brandon needed to score more points.
No, I just, I was already, I was already ahead by like, I think I was up by like 50
points somewhere around there going into the week.
If you won, you were in if Stefan won and you lost.
He was out.
Yeah.
Exactly.
So essentially two upsets this week gave you the playoff bid because of points for
it.
Yep.
It's wild.
I've dropped her straight.
I'm growing into playoffs and I'm like, I'm, I'm, my, my team is on E right now.
I think the best game I've had over the last four weeks was this last week.
You're going up against the highest four in our league.
Yeah.
I almost caught you.
Cody was close.
Almost caught you.
It was close.
I'm like 90 points or something like that.
And I'm going against Cody this week.
So I close it to 50.
Yeah.
I'm 173 point week.
All I can do is hope you guys can perform like he did this week.
Yeah.
Honestly, the underachiever of the week.
Only chance I have.
I'll let you guys know that I had kind of the opposite experience in the Pacific Northwest
League. I was sitting at the five spot and I had one game up on the two people behind
me, one of the gals shout out Calso babe.
She pretty much did me in.
She also beat me this year in the head to head.
I had one game up.
She had a tie on her record.
All I needed to do was win.
That's all I had to do.
But if I lost, I needed her and this other guy to lose as well.
And I would still be in fantasy football happened.
Both of them won and I lost.
And I dropped from the five to the eight.
Missed the playoffs one week.
And you were just like the second seed in Pacific Northwest.
Yeah, just just just a few weeks ago.
Yep.
So now I got a hope for for my wife to pull it out.
She is the number one seed.
She's got the buy.
So she's sitting.
I'm going to keep my mouth shut because obviously I don't know what I'm doing.
Yes, she's doing good.
She's doing good, man.
But I don't know, it is it is a stressful time of year.
And when it comes to playoffs, I think that it is important to know your league and who
you're playing.
And maybe, you know, if you've been playing in this league for a while, know some of the
history of that league.
Because there are some telling factors, are there not?
Yes.
Just taking a look at some of GSC mains history since we switched to sleeper back in 2019.
Looking at the history of the four versus five, the four seed is three and two.
Looking at the history of the three versus six, the number six seed is three and two.
So the four seed seems a little bit more better in the four, five and the six seed seems a
little bit better in the three, six matchup.
Cody, however, digging through some of the history, you've had three losses to six seeds.
Yeah.
Thanks.
And I was, as I was doing my digging in all of those.
One of those, one.
So you've lost to the six seed in three out of four seasons of the last five.
So one year you did not make it.
Yeah.
So that's six seed tends to kick you out and I'm hoping to keep that train rolling.
At least I'm consistent, right?
Keep me that three seed, baby.
I'm there.
One of which I think you were the two seed and you lost in the second round to the six
seed.
Yeah.
That was a few years ago.
That was 2021.
2021.
Yeah.
Jordan's first championship.
Yes, sir.
I was just about to say that.
And then something kind of crazy that stood out to me today as I was doing some of the
history digging in, you know, a little bit of that, the one seed in our league is 0 and
five in round two.
They have not.
Shout out, Stefan.
They have not managed to get passed round two into the championship game.
And then the two seed is one in four in the second round.
The only person to win out of the two seed myself.
And that was last year.
I changed the one seed narrative this year.
We're going to put that to one in five in the second round.
There you go.
Well, and then looking at the four out of the last five championships are either the
four or five seed.
So looks like that's where a majority of our champions come from.
We'll see what happens this year.
It sounds like next year only four teams need to make the playoffs is what you're telling
me.
I don't know how that'll go down with everyone in the league.
You got to have it at six at least.
Hey, I actually saw again, I was listening to a fantasy football today and I want to
get your guys's opinion on this because Adam Azer shared something on their podcast that
I thought was interesting and I wanted to bring it to you to just to get your opinion.
I'm not saying we should do this.
I'm not saying this is right or wrong, but his leagues give an automatic playoff bid
to the highest scoring team in the league in the regular season.
So you know, we've all seen it.
We've played in it.
We've been there.
We've experienced it.
Your team is crushing it, but we can and week out you lose to the second highest or the
first highest scoring team.
You're the second highest scoring team, right?
We've all been there.
Highest scoring team in the regular season gets an automatic bid to the playoffs.
So in our league, it would be the six seed.
What do you guys think about that?
I mean, are you talking highest points for a team that doesn't make playoffs?
Correct.
Yes.
Let's say you're the highest scoring team, but you go like four and 10.
Then who gets taken out of the playoffs?
Whoever's next up?
Well, here's, I guess here's where the line kind of falls.
What if you're the highest points for a team and you're already in the playoffs?
But like, are you, this is where I'm trying to just draw where this is because if I'm
the highest points for a team and I'm in playoffs, I'm going to stay where I'm sitting.
But are you talking like the way it is the highest point for a team that isn't in playoffs?
Yes.
Correct.
So no, so like if you're the highest scoring team and you just get shit on all year with
all the matchups, you get an automatic bid to the playoffs.
See and this is something I want to try and incorporate maybe into the Reaper next year.
I want to do the League median in the Reaper League next year.
I agree, dude.
I don't think we should do it in GSC main.
No, I want to do it in the Reaper.
I want to do it in the Reaper.
That's the one league I would put it in.
Dude, League median leagues are, they're fun.
I mean, we did one, I think all three of us did one last year, right?
Yeah.
Yep.
The, the Bros one.
Yeah.
That's probably.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm all for that.
That would be, I want, that's, I think something that I think we're going to experiment within
our experimental league, which is the Reaper League.
Here's how I look at this.
And I guess I kind of dog walk you guys into this question, but I think that the, you know,
getting the second highest scoring team and still taking an L, I look at that the way
that Kansas city is 11 and one right now or whatever they are.
You got to be lucky, man.
You got to, you got to get these games to roll your way.
And if you don't, it is what it is.
Period.
Like.
I think, I think it's an interesting concept, but if you're going to have a competitive
league where people are paying to play and they're engaged and, and you know, a league
like ours where we've been playing together for a decade.
Sucks to suck, man.
Like I know it sucks to be the highest scoring team and miss the playoffs, but.
It is what it is.
And especially, especially with ours too, because we have the divisions, which I think
will be a topic of conversation in the off season this year, but you got to kind of win
to get in, man.
Period.
Yeah.
Look at the bangles right now.
They're putting up crazy points and they've got five wins on the year.
Like, come on.
That's how I feel about it.
And they don't, the NFL don't get no favors to.
Scorn a shit ton of points.
Shouldn't say much.
Any favors to anybody but the chiefs.
Let's turn this into a conspiracy theory podcast.
Taylor Swift.
It's all scripted.
Taylor Swift did.
Oh, yeah, I hope you lose this week and we continue your over streak against the six
seeds.
So yeah, just straight behind that.
And I'm just going to implement it into your head every single day this week.
Listen here, man.
We were supposed to have a wager last time that we played.
And we didn't do it.
Jordan, you're back.
Where's your nails?
Speaking of.
Oh, yeah.
What the.
I had one nail painted.
It's not any longer.
But it was the thumbnail was.
He's lying.
That's a lie.
You guys are watching.
Do you see that?
No, I took a shot.
That's a lie.
Monday.
That was the real reason I was sick.
And that's why I faked actually getting my voice messed up and everything because I
didn't want to paint one nail.
You know, one of my best friends in the world told me something a long time ago that I think
will really resonate with you.
He said, excuses don't make champions.
Paint your fucking nails.
I ain't doing all right.
There was no bad on doing all of them.
I'm too straight for that.
Okay.
All right.
Move along.
We shall find the like most elegant, sparkled glitter in Kennedy's nail polish and I'm going
to bring it to you.
I'll paint one now.
You know what I'm more excited about than the painted nails?
Honestly, if I don't win the championship this year and Jordan does, I can't wait to
watch him get 90, 10 tattooed on his chest.
Yeah.
Or if you win getting a tattoo as well.
90, 10 tattooed.
What's that about?
This is, hey, he's gaslighting us, Brandon.
Don't buy into this.
He no, he's acting like he doesn't remember.
It's on camera, Jordan.
You can't get away from this.
What is it?
We said if you win it again, if you go back to back and get your third championship, you're
going to get 90, 10 tattooed on your chest.
Yeah.
And your ass, I don't care.
You know, when it comes down to like when you're doing bats like these, it's, it's got
to be because all's that to do is put a little 90, 10 and they could be a half an inch long.
So that's fine.
I don't care.
I got some concepts for you.
I'll send them over.
Maybe, maybe, maybe how confident are you, Jordan?
In your team this year?
Because maybe we should have our listeners and our league vote on what this 90, 10 should
look like.
How confident are you?
I'm not that confident to bet on putting a tattoo on my body.
That's going to be not of my choice.
That's how confident I am.
I got some good mockups for you.
What?
I'll make you a deal for the size.
If you win this year, we'll make some options.
One inch or one and a half inch.
Yeah.
I mean, that's all right.
I mean, yeah, I'm not trying to put a dog life to park across my chest.
90, 10.
Yeah.
See, like that'd be cool.
Something like that.
I don't know.
Like I would do it just because that is my saying and that's what how fantasy football
is.
Like it truly is.
Brand incoming clutch.
Yes.
Yeah.
We'll figure something out.
I'm never confident going into the end of the season that I'm for sure going to you.
You never can be.
Your team is and you shouldn't be confident now, man, because there's no way you're going
back to back and getting your third championship.
So I guess we could just move on.
I think if you could swap me teams right now, you would, but I certainly would.
I certainly would.
But well, we'll move on from from all the all the seat.
Jordan Jordan doesn't want to talk about that anymore.
We'll figure something out.
I'll do it.
90, 10.
That was on camera.
I do remember that.
But we'll move on to the games of the week.
Some big games this week.
Teams need wins like this.
It's an hour and ever for some of these teams, man.
They, you don't win this week.
This might be it for playoffs for some of these teams.
So teams we already talked about bangles and stuff like that that have slim slim and no
hope, but you got those divisions like the, the NFC South, which is just, I think Carolina
is still, I think they're still mathematically able to win that division somehow.
If everyone else loses out and they went out trash division.
So it's kind of like the NFC or this, yeah, the NFC West, same thing.
That's kind of up in the air with, you know, Seattle, Arizona, Rams, 49ers.
That's, I don't know.
So you got a lot of teams that are still in the mix, even though they might have bad records,
that division still up for grabs.
So you win the division or still in the playoffs.
But with all that said, I'm not going with one of those trash games.
I'm going to go to top teams here.
I'm going to go Steelers at Eagles.
This is big for both teams for implications of trying to get the number one seed Steelers
are only two games behind the chiefs and Steelers and chiefs meet up on Christmas day.
Shout out to Netflix for ruining that for everyone.
And you got to say with the Eagles, man, it's a big game.
The Lions kind of fall through down here.
Any couple of games, Eagles can get the number one seed.
So it's a big game for both.
It's insane game.
I don't even feel like it's a rivalry as much really, you know, it's just everyone knows
Eagles fans are kind of assholes and I don't know.
So we'll see though.
It's in Philadelphia.
I know they're going to try to run the ball obviously a lot.
They're trying to get it to take one, but Steelers defense is good this year.
The run defense is good.
So I think Jalen Hertz is going to have to win this game if the Eagles are to come out
on top.
But I'm taking the Steelers man.
I think I think they're rolling right now.
I think Russ is just doing enough and he's throwing when he has to and that defense is
they're looking really good man.
And get Pickens back.
I think Pickens is huge that offense.
Obviously helps with that pass game.
But I'm taking the Steelers.
I'm going to take the Eagles in that matchup.
Is that it?
I think Pickens is out.
So I'm already rolled out again this week.
Yep.
Yeah he is.
So I'm going to take the Eagles.
I do think the Eagles are going to have to throw the ball this week, especially after
all the crap that just went down with AJ Brown and Jalen.
But I think they'll get exactly what I was just going to say.
I think they're going to get back on track there.
I think Jalen's going to have a good week connecting with AJ Brown.
And yeah, I think that's going to be the way it goes there.
Jordan, I'm going to roll with you on this one.
I'm going to take the Steelers and I'm going to piggyback off of what Brandon just said.
I agree that AJ Brown kind of made a stink of sorts for the Eagles.
And I think I listened to Jim Rom and Bill Ryder and I watch all of these social media
pages and stuff.
I think that is going to play a factor into the game plan for the Eagles.
And I think they're going to get away from what they do best.
And that's letting Saquon eat and letting Jalen eat.
And they're going to start trying to force feed AJ Brown and Devontae Smith.
I don't know, man, I don't like it.
I think there's a lot of drama surrounding that team right now.
A lot of people are surprised that they've rattled off nine in a row.
Give me the Steelers, dude.
I like the Steelers.
I think they're going to come in, upset them, and it's really going to throw a wrench into
the plans for the Eagles postseason.
What's your game of the week, Cody?
For me, I went Packers and Seahawks.
This is another one that I think has a lot of implications on it because Packers had
a tight one with the Lions.
And I think they showed that they can play at that type of level.
But I want to see him go on the road in Seattle in cold weather and throw the fricking ball,
man.
You can't.
Josh Jacobs is going nuts.
And I love it.
If you're a fantasy owner of Josh Jacobs, good for you.
But you're not, you're not going to run your way to the Super Bowl like that.
And Jaden Reed last week, with a big fat goose egg for anybody, I had him in three different
leagues, man.
One of them being the Pacific Northwest League that I got booted from.
You were texting about it because I asked you.
I was like, who do you like?
And you were like, oh, I like Jaden because I was like, do I play Jordan Love and Jaden?
Or I don't remember what the other one was, but yeah, you had neighbors, D hop.
Yeah.
I had like neighbors, D hop, Jaden Reed or it was like pick two and sat D hop, which
yeah, but Jaden Reed putting up a dud did not help.
What I want to see in this game because Seattle waltzed into Arizona and humbled the shit
out of the Cardinals.
I want to see them at home, really give it to the Packers.
You know what I mean?
Let me see what Jordan Love can really do.
Throw the ball.
Obviously, I hope Josh Jacob does his thing.
But show me that you belong up there that the close game with the Lions wasn't a fluke.
That's what I want to see.
I think it's going to be a great game.
I don't know that it's going to be super high scoring.
I am going to take the Packers, but I think it's going to be a fun game to watch.
Jordan.
Yeah.
I'm a I love Josh Jacob.
It's the past couple of weeks, obviously being an owner of him.
He's done great.
I obviously were not in that locker room.
We don't know what's going on, but I think that was probably a big talk with Jordan Love
can injured at the beginning of the season him turning the ball over a lot.
Probably a talk said, Hey man, we brought this dude over to get the ball up.
Let's get him the ball will pass when you need when you need to pass the ball.
I think it might, you know, this is just me speaking on it personally, but it might be
Matt before.
So you say Aaron Rogers not turning that ball over with him that he doesn't like Jordan
Love turning that ball over because it's just ruins the whole game plan and they just
want to control the ball, run the ball, throw when he needs to.
Yeah.
Chaden Reed.
That was, I mean, I just feel that like, you know, for, I had court, I even had a court
on something on my point at one point on my team this year.
And after he threw up zero that one week, I dropped him and he's been like the number
three wide receiver since I'm a huge mistake by me.
But I was just so mad like, because it's like when, when you have a number one guy, how
do you not get him the ball?
I tell people last night, like I made so much money on Jamar Chase last night because I
knew every drive Joe Burrow was going to throw in the ball.
It doesn't care.
It doesn't matter if there's three guys over him.
He's throwing the ball to him.
He's going to get the ball to him.
It just, you force it to your best guy.
If it gets intercepted.
Oh, well, their guy beat your guy.
But throw to your best guy.
He's your playmaker.
He's your number one guy.
So I don't see that happening again for him.
I think they're going to make it a point to get him involved, whether it's CD lamb, like
how they use him for with jet sweeps and try to get people involved in the game, at least
get the ball in their hands.
DJ more, you know, short little passes, stuff like that.
Let them run with the ball, you know, I don't think the Seahawks, I don't know.
I just don't see them doing anything for real.
Like you said, they did hand tears on this week.
They're at home.
Um, Gino Smith, I, if he doesn't turn the ball over, man, they could run the ball, control
the ball and beat the Packers.
But I don't, I think the Packers are good.
I think there's three teams coming out of that NFC North making it to the playoffs this
year.
So I'm going to take the back.
Yes.
Gino Smith leads the league in pass yards.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
He has since like week four or five.
He's been rolling it off.
Got a lot of interceptions though, I bet he leads the league in red zone, their exceptions.
Yeah.
Kenneth Walker, and he likes to throw the ball instead of handed the ball to Kenneth Walker,
but somehow they did with Zach Charbonnet last week.
Let's put the backup in and we're going to hand the ball off more than we have all year.
We just don't like Kenneth Walker.
I don't know.
I don't get it.
Like good for him, but we're on the damn ball.
Maybe that opened their eyes last week.
So maybe Kenneth Walker is going to explode for 40 points for me in the championship against
Cody.
Cody's got to get through the six seed and he doesn't do that.
So yeah, I'm going to roll with you boys.
Like Green Bay in this matchup, I think just Green Bay's dominance over teams.
I just don't really think Seattle has enough to really, I mean, does anyone know the spread
in this game?
Cause I'm curious what it is.
Let's see.
Tell me much.
I don't.
Spread is three.
I would gladly take Green Bay three minus three.
I take that all day.
I might even take it up to four and a half.
I think Green Bay is going to dominate Seattle.
So I'm going to roll Green Bay in this one.
My game of the week this week, boys, pretty, pretty big game.
I think at the top of the board, I'm going to, I'm going to roll with, I think this is
really the highlight game of the week outside of Pittsburgh and Philly, which is going to
be Buffalo and Detroit.
Buffalo needs a win.
Detroit needs a win.
Otherwise, they're tied with the Eagles for the one seed.
So some big implications here for both teams.
Buffalo loses.
They dropped to the three seed possibly, depending upon the outcome with the Eagles and Steelers.
So it'll be interesting to see what happens here.
I think I love this time up here.
I think this is a bounce back game.
I think, I mean, it is in Detroit, but I, I think Josh Allen exposes the Detroit defense
this week.
They're injured.
I, I think Josh Allen goes off and has another big week.
I don't know if I can argue that, man.
I, I think I said that before earlier this season, I'm all aboard the Detroit hype train,
man, but I don't know if I can argue anything that you said.
I think Detroit's just too injured.
And I think, and again, their defense is, is wrecked.
Yeah.
Their defense is destroyed right now.
And I think Josh Allen just is going to absolutely just rip them to shreds.
I agree.
Give me the bills.
On with Detroit now.
You both went Buffalo.
I don't know.
I was, I was thinking the whole time you guys were talking like, who'd even picked in this
game and I mean, it's tough.
Like, I mean, it's hard not to see Josh Allen not having a big game.
I don't know, man.
I just think the Lions, they're just, they're something about them this year with, with
Gibbs and Montgomery, Jared Goff, you know, looks like a top five QB, you know, I don't
know.
They look really good.
I think they're, they're going to make enough plays.
I'm going to take Detroit at home and this one, something about Dan Campbell, something
about that team.
Like, I don't care for Detroit, but man, I wouldn't mind Detroit if they won the Super
Bowl this year.
I think a lot of people in this football nation and country wouldn't mind if that happened
for the Detroit Lions.
I don't know.
I think it's going to, I think it's going to be a high scoring game.
Be, be close, but we're going to go with Detroit.
We're going to get another 80 point game from the bills.
Like we, we did this last week because the Rams kind of made them look silly on defense.
Yes, they did.
That's what I mean.
That's what I'm saying with Detroit.
I'm on Ross going off for two touchdowns, 150 yards.
He catches.
Yeah.
I mean, if anyone's going to have a big week, it's going to be a Mari Cooper, please.
I love it.
Well, guys, Brandon, did you have anything else you wanted to add before we start closing
this thing out?
If you're in playoffs, congratulations, if you're not, there's always next year.
See you next year.
Cool.
All right.
That's it for me guys.
Well, boys, I know a college football bracket just got announced.
I think we're going to post a bracket challenge within the club.
So keep your eyes out on that.
We'll get that rolling here this week so you guys can get kind of your picks in.

college football playoff, it'd be kind of fun to do, see what happens.
