1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,240 Let's get it on. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. It's the Get Sunday Covered podcast. 2 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:12,700 It's Wednesday, December 18th, and congratulations to everyone that is still alive. I'm joined 3 00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:17,920 as always by Brandon and Jordan. But today, as you can see, we have a very special guest. 4 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,920 This has been a long time coming, and what a better time than round two of the playoffs, 5 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,240 baby. Please help me to welcome my arch rival, my sworn enemy, and our very, very good friend, 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,560 the number two seed in GSC, Maine. What's happening, Joe? 7 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,680 Yay. 8 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,880 I appreciate that, Jordan. 9 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,400 Sound less excited, Jordan. 10 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,400 Brandon's a... 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,400 How are you, butter? 12 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,360 I'm doing good, doing good. I appreciate being here. It's exciting. Ready to get this match 13 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:54,440 going, try to knock you out and take on to the championship, hopefully. 14 00:00:54,440 --> 00:01:00,320 Mama said, knock you out. It's good to have you on, man. We've been trying to make this 15 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:08,000 happen for a long time, so thank you for joining us. I'm excited about it. You can ask Brandon 16 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,120 how she wants the D-Town experience goes, and you can maybe stew on that for the next 17 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,720 couple of days. 18 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:21,160 I was watching that matchup. It looked good. You guys were going back and forth. 19 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:27,400 It all came down until Keenan Allen scored a touchdown last night, and then it was over. 20 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:33,200 I mean, on that first shot when you had Drake, let him go down, catch that touchdown, I was 21 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,200 like, go shit. 22 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,200 They're interesting. 23 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,920 Cody texted me right away and was like, oh, I panicked. 24 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,920 I'm telling you. 25 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,080 I wasn't doing much at that point, and I was like, man, it was within one point at that 26 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,840 time. And I was like, man, if Brandon pulls us off with two guys against four, Cody fucking 27 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,840 sucks. 28 00:01:52,840 --> 00:02:01,360 I texted Cody on Sunday and I was like, dude, we're tied. It's 2v4. It's a wrap. Congrats. 29 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,360 Yeah. 30 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,400 I mean, we should be no way. 31 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,160 We have all played fantasy long enough to know that that does not matter at all. And 32 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,040 that's exactly how I felt last night. Yes, I had a little bit of confidence, but as soon 33 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,640 as Drake London caught the first touchdown in the game, I was like, nope, I'm turning 34 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,440 it off. I'm not watching this bullshit. 35 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,840 I set my phone on the table and then every time little. 36 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,800 Don't look at your phone. Don't look at your phone. Just like, don't look at it. 37 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,800 I looked at it. 38 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,800 Of course you don't. 39 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,640 So scared, man. I'm not going to lie. 40 00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:45,360 After all that shit that you were talking, I may not have shown up today, man. So Joe, 41 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:52,360 you're lucky because this wouldn't have happened if Brandon won. I would have shut it down. 42 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,360 Cody was at his Christmas party today. 43 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,360 Yeah. 44 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:04,600 Oh, I have to bail. My Christmas party is going on too long. 45 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,600 Yeah. 46 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,600 Yeah. 47 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:17,400 But Joe, congratulations, man. Hell of a season. Number two seed just barely, man. You were 48 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,480 riding that number one for like, what was it? Like 10 weeks almost, nine weeks, something 49 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:31,200 like that. Either way, you got the buy. I honestly, man, as much as I hate playing you 50 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:37,600 in fantasy, I'm super stoked for you, dude. You, hell of a year, a lot of really good 51 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:43,400 wins. It's nice to see a new face up at the top with a buy week. I'm looking forward to 52 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,480 this, dude. I don't know how you're feeling, but I think it's going to be good. 53 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,480 Oh, I feel fantastic. Honestly, after barely squeezing in the playoffs last year and coming 54 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,800 in just dead even at seven and seven, I feel much better about this year's draft and I 55 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,680 was hoping that not a lot of my players were going to get killed along the way, but I only 56 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,960 had a few hiccups to deal with Jordan got the best of me towards the end. So we'll see 57 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:16,480 how that works out. We ended up in the championship, but I'm hoping to see how things go. 58 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,200 Jordan just needs to go lay down somewhere. Take a nap, Jordan. 59 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,840 Jordan, we don't need that for each season. Jordan should be a little worried because 60 00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:31,280 one seeds are, you know, oh, and five in the second round. 61 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:41,680 But you want to do are going for a back to back championship. Can't be that way. How 62 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:53,920 do you have anything to say to that? Like, yeah, that's true. I feel more confident about 63 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,640 my team this year. Maybe then any other fantasy league I've ever played in. I probably made 64 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:06,880 more trades this year than I ever have any league before. I was in a lot of trade talks 65 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,440 with a lot of people. Me and Joe had a lot of trade talks trying to make trades come 66 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,440 through and that's when Cody swooped in. I couldn't get George Kittle. It is what it 67 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,600 is. I ended up getting Kelsey could add in a joku. It's kind of, it's just so up and 68 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,120 down for tight ends this year. So it is what it is when it comes to that position. Like, 69 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,200 but yeah, I just feel like I've had a lot of good luck on my side this year. Like I had 70 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,280 a lot of good players that I was able to trade and trade for guys that I needed. And I feel, 71 00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:38,000 you know, it's, I think we even talked about it last week that like, man, it's like, you 72 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,800 look at my bench most weeks and my bench is putting up between 10 and 20 points, like 73 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,400 every guy and it's like, how do I make the right call? Like sometimes it sucks. Like, 74 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,680 I don't know. You're going to make me throw up, dude. I just, I love it. I'm already tired 75 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,800 of you today. 76 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,080 Under the next, you know, like, because you know, you're in my league, dude. And I look 77 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,640 at my league and I'm like, Sunday mornings, like I'm going, I'm going in the waiver wire. 78 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,360 Like, is there anyone else that I could pick up that might have a better chance at running 79 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,040 back this week than what I'm playing right now? Because guess Edwards might have been 80 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,960 the biggest mistake and pickups in the career history. He's going to be dropped tomorrow 81 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,040 morning. You'll see that in my league, Cody. But yeah, so it's just like, I just try to 82 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,240 pick up Jerome Ford because I'm putting in for that. 83 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,800 Oh, dude, I put in for him, Craig Reynolds, I'm going for everybody. I told him, all the 84 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:40,920 running backs. Yeah. So it's like, you know, I have Kyron Williams. I don't know. I don't 85 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,800 have much confidence in my team, but after you beat Tim, our number one seed in GSC, 86 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:51,920 Colorado, I believe anything is possible. Like, anything is possible. 87 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:58,080 So, I don't know. I'm excited, man. Like, I don't know. Yeah, I'm excited for you guys's 88 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:04,600 matchup. I'm playing Steven, I guess the next round. Me and him have a little bit of history. 89 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,800 I want to beat him because I tried to get safe one earlier in the year and it was kind 90 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,400 of banner back and forth. And I just told him, I was like, that's fine. I don't need 91 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,440 to say one. I'll just ride my team in the championship. So it's kind of funny that I'm 92 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:25,440 running in him in the playoffs now. So I really kind of wanted to fucking him shameless to 93 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,600 beat him so I could play shameless and I just rub it in the shameless his face even more. 94 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,360 Like, I don't know. Like, I don't, shameless knows I don't like him. I don't think a lot 95 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,960 of people like him. Like, he's just a different type of human being. He thrives on it, man. 96 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,280 Maybe he has something going on with those drones on the East Coast right now. I don't 97 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,000 know. They're out there doing fantasy research. 98 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,720 Doing something for him. I don't know, but I'm excited for a man. I think it's going 99 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,040 to be a, it's going to be a good final for I think, realistically, if me and Cody were 100 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,920 to meet in the finals, I think might be the best just because Cody was the highest scorer 101 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,960 I almost caught you at the end of the year right there. There was like a 20 point difference. 102 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,800 You got me, but no, I'm excited. 103 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,800 A little more than 20. 104 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,800 All right, we go look it up. It was like 20 points. 105 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Hey, I don't want to look at the same thing. 106 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,680 Just for reference, points for don't matter in the playoffs. It's about who shows up. 107 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:29,320 I learned that last year and I mean, I set the highest point total ever in GSC in the 108 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,240 regular season and still didn't get me. 109 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,280 So you do seem to be quite the student, Brandon. What did you learn this year? 110 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,080 Not to drop down tomorrow again. 111 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:48,040 Hey, he had a good game. That's not, that's not fair. 17 and he left like early. 112 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,520 Yeah. There's one good game. Honestly, Brandon, one of the last six or seven games. 113 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,520 Yeah. 114 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,880 It's cause Jason, it was taken all of his such sounds. 115 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,240 So yeah, if I would have, if I would have squeezed up to that five seat, it would have 116 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:09,640 made it quite interesting, I think in mine and Steven's game. 117 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:15,000 But I mean, I was surprised like I knew where he was going to have some decent games. So 118 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,120 I picked him up when she was dropped him. 119 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,440 And he went off this week when it mattered. 120 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:31,080 I mean, it's just so tough. I think the biggest thing that's that killed me was losing J.K. 121 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,080 Dobbins. 122 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,080 Yeah, that's not how it was. 123 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,440 And honestly, like, 124 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:43,560 And he had such a favorable playoff schedule, like their playoff schedule for the charge 125 00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:47,360 was Broncos was all green. 126 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,160 And that's what hurt. 127 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:54,440 Like, yeah, no disrespect to your fantasy team, but like that hurt the chargers in real life 128 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,440 too. 129 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,440 Oh yeah. 130 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,720 That's a big part for them. And it's like, you can honestly tell, since he's gone down, 131 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,720 like their teams kind of 132 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:07,720 Yeah, I mean, just a big drop off from him to go said words. But yeah, that's, that's 133 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,040 tough thing. Like, honestly, like, you know, knock on wood. I didn't even bring that up. 134 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,000 But like my team's been really good with injuries this year. That's just one thing you can never 135 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:23,640 account for, whether it's running back or wide receiver you draft in the quarterback 136 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,920 goes down, look at the Miami Dolphins, like, though they go down and it's like Tyreek 137 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:34,520 and Jaylin Waddle stock, like, immediately tank, you know, so I don't know, it's just 138 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,520 kind of 139 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:41,120 And one of those things, man, you never think that's why everyone just loves fantasy and 140 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,360 why we all do this is just because you never know, dude, it's almost like gambling. You're 141 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,800 gambling every week. Like, is my is this team I put up going to be better than the guy I'm 142 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,480 playing against? No one knows, dude, that's why it's like, it's so enjoyable. You don't 143 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,400 know week to week who's going to get injured, who you're picking up on waiver. 144 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,000 The suspense value of that is just through the roof. 145 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,280 Yeah, you know, every year there's hype for new players, you know, Caleb Williams this 146 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:13,680 year, Jayden Daniels, you know, I think Bo Nix has come on big time. I think I would, 147 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:19,920 I don't know the numbers, but I bet that he wasn't drafted in 95% of leagues, you know, 148 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:26,040 I'm sure he was. Maybe some dynasty leagues, some 16 man leagues or something. But I think 149 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,000 he's one of those guys that what property after week seven or eight, Joe, you might know a 150 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,880 little bit better than me watching the Broncos. But like, I feel like when he came on and 151 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,560 he started using his legs a little bit more and started throwing the ball to God damn 152 00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:44,120 court when Sutton like throw that man the ball. And I feel like he's come on and he's 153 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,720 become kind of a fantasy factor as far as using his legs, man. That's feel like that's 154 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,480 one of those things with, you know, especially Josh Allen or Hertz or Lamar Jackson, those, 155 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,880 you know, if a quarterback can run and get you 50 yards a game, that's five extra points 156 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,960 right there. Like, I think like running from a quarterback is huge. Like, obviously not 157 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,840 even for fantasy, but for their own teams value to get players around them, you know, 158 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,520 a little bit more open space and something for the defense to focus on. So I'm excited, 159 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,880 man. I think this is, you know, the time of year where everyone kind of gets nervous and 160 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,680 excited at the same time, but it's, this is what we play for all year. I think you even 161 00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:29,960 sent that that meme last week, Cody of the week before is week one, you know, and he's 162 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,280 blanking and then all of a sudden, you know, here we are week 14, week 15 playoffs are 163 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,440 starting and it's like, damn, they really did go. I felt like so. 164 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,640 Yeah, absolutely. 165 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:45,480 Awkward talking because I'm the only one Ram went on right now. 166 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:51,560 You're good, man. And obviously he made some really good points about Bo Nix and I think 167 00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:55,640 he's come along the way and that actually would bring kind of a second topic in for 168 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:02,600 me. As the rookie of the year, I still think it's up between Brock Bowers being a tight end 169 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,720 of catching just about anything that comes out of Las Vegas. He's the only bright spot going on 170 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:13,480 right now there. Bo Nix has come a long way. Caleb Williams has definitely tried to 171 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,440 head his ups and downs, but I still think he's got an opportunity once they get that head coaching 172 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:24,200 and offensive line figured out. And Jaden Daniels has just been an absolute freaking nature when it 173 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,960 comes to it. I think a lot of that has to do with his video game training that he did, but I think 174 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,440 he's absolutely stepped into a place of his own. Again, once that defense gets fixed, 175 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,440 probably it'll be a lot better off. 176 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,200 Who would be your vote right now? Like, like gun to your head who you got? 177 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:43,800 Like those three? 178 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,560 I'm taking Bo Nix all the way. I don't care. Broncos, man. All the way. I don't care. 179 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:50,040 Let's go. 180 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:55,080 Yeah. The others who were overhyped. Caleb Williams had his hard knocks moment. That's great. 181 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,920 I don't know. I like your take on those rookies because I feel like 182 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,480 you made the good point about Brock Bowers because it's like, man, 183 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,360 that dude should give more respect because he's caught passes from three different quarterbacks 184 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:14,120 this year, right? Three, four different quarterbacks. Three shitty quarterbacks? No. Trash. 185 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:20,360 Trash. Yeah. Like, so it's like, it's rough and like he broke Sam LaPorte's record this year 186 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:27,400 that Sam LaPorte just broke last year for receptions by a rookie. Yeah. Brock Bowers, man. I think 187 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,040 is it one of those things he falls off next year? I don't know. I mean, I feel like 188 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,400 Vegas needs to figure out a quarterback situation. It's like, I feel like their team is decent. I 189 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:44,840 think I feel like Chicobe Myers. They're going to get one next year. Mr. Sanders. 190 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:53,400 He or Giants. But I don't think so. Yeah. I don't. I like Shade Orbs. But I don't like him in the NFL. 191 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,080 Navers was already catching passes from Shade Orbs. If he doesn't have, if he doesn't have Deon. 192 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:09,000 I feel like he's a smaller James Winston. Like he's not very fast. He ain't, he's not running the 193 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,400 fucking, he's not going to outrun anyone. He's not running faster for 40 than anybody. 194 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,880 He's not going to break tackles. Like maybe like Caleb Williams, you know, 195 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,200 Caleb Williams, like he ain't fast. You know, he's got a little bit of swagger and movement, but 196 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:28,360 like Joe said for him, dude, that offensive line is horrendous. Caleb Williams is playing, 197 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,480 like he's a button smasher for somebody that's playing Madden for the first time. 198 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,800 Dude, that offensive, he doesn't know what's going on. 199 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,440 He's got maybe two seconds, if that before someone's in the backfield already on him. 200 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:48,360 So I, yeah, I don't know. I, I like bone X. I mean, out of all those guys, it's, you know, 201 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,680 none of them are like big market. Obviously, I think the NFL wanted Caleb Williams to win it. 202 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:58,600 Like there's no reason like he shouldn't at this point. So I feel like it definitely is going to 203 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:05,320 come down to bone X, Daniels and Bowers. I think the end of the season will probably help determine 204 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:12,360 that what these guys do. These next three games here, but obviously if you're a fan of any one 205 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,920 of those guys or any one of those teams, it's your, the future is looking good for all those, 206 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,480 those teams. I think, I think the Raiders only can get better. And obviously the Broncos like 207 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,360 been looking for a quarterback forever and feel like same with the commanders. I feel like those 208 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,600 two teams have felt that void at quarterback. 209 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:38,600 100% agree. 100% agree. Brandon, what do you got next for us, man? We got anything, 210 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,040 uh, anything boiling on the, on the burner this week? 211 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:53,000 Oh yeah. Who's who you guys think is the best team in, in the NFL right now? You guys got the 212 00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:06,120 bills or the Eagles? That's tough. I mean, Joe, I take, I take the Eagles only because of say, 213 00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:14,600 Juan. I mean, I was a James Cook owner in fantasy. I think say, Juan has far surpassed any type of 214 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,160 rushing record, including the one Derek Henry tried setting a few years back when he was with 215 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:26,360 Tennessee. So my, my best bet is with the Eagles, especially now since they show that they have a 216 00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:35,000 a magical passing game that everybody focused in on. Cody was talking shit about it last week and 217 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:43,240 decided to go against the Eagles and pick them. And I, I'm, I will say, I'm shocked. I'm gonna show 218 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:50,040 you up. And I'm glad they did. I really am. I'm glad they did. And Joe, I think that's a 219 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,520 fantastic take. Like I, I can't argue that 220 00:17:54,520 --> 00:18:05,640 that both offensively and defensively, and might take the Eagles here. Honestly, 221 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:13,800 I don't want to, I want it to be the bills, the bills, the lions are 222 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:22,920 shredded right now. I mean, Josh Allen, man, he's 223 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:30,680 he's an alien dude. Josh alien. I think like I told you, like that with the whole stuff on 224 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,960 sleeper in the comments, like I survived the Josh Allen experience this week in my league, like 225 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,800 dude put up 42 points against me. Bless Devonte Adams. I had him on my team. 226 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:47,080 So I figured Josh Allen, but Josh Allen, man, right now. And I feel like, 227 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,200 you know, like they said, he's playing just with more like, 228 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,640 obviously like it's not even brought up anymore about Stefan Diggs. Like this team is better 229 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,040 without Stefan Diggs. Like, because there's so many people he throws the ball to, no one's forced 230 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:05,080 the ball. I feel like James Cook has had some big games. Like I feel like he's probably not even 231 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:11,240 used enough. Like, just cause Josh Allen is just look at that dude. He's like a, he's a white 232 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:17,240 Derek Henry. Like he is a, he is a large human being running the ball at you. And like, I feel 233 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:23,480 like he doesn't mind contact. I don't know, man. I mean, shit, that'd be a hell of a Super Bowl. 234 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,640 If we got those two teams in the Super Bowl, I probably wouldn't complain about that. 235 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,280 It's just one of the things, man, if you watch that Steelers Eagles game, like the Steelers 236 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,200 spun in the ball with like 10 minutes left and they didn't get the ball back to the Eagles, 237 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,520 just control that ball the rest of the game and won the game on that drive. And like, 238 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:50,520 that's what you want to do. I don't know, man. I really like the bills, man. I really like Josh 239 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:56,120 Allen. I really like, I feel like especially if they get that number one seed and people have to 240 00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:01,800 go to Buffalo, like Josh Allen doesn't care if it's a Blizzard and it's 30 mile prior wins. 241 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,000 He's going to still throw the ball for 250 yards, probably two touchdowns, 242 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,040 going to run two in. I'm taking the bills, man. I think if I get that number one seed, 243 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:19,080 I think they're the team to beat in the NFL. I like the Eagles, but touching on the bills, 244 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:27,000 I just want to say, Amari Cooper, you're a fucking bum. And thank you for doing shit this week. 245 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:37,400 Who's, who's worse? Him or a homeboy for Baltimore? What's his, you got, baby? 246 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:47,880 No, Johnson, Johnson, Johnson. I was so excited. I had him in my league for Carolina. He's doing 247 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,800 great. And then I'm like, I don't want him to get traded to Baltimore. They don't need him. 248 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,200 And he's gone to Baltimore and done nothing. Amari Cooper has gone to Buffalo and has done 249 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:03,480 nothing. But you got down to Andrew Hopkins. He's, I think he's being consistent, 34 year old man for 250 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,040 Kansas city. Like, I don't know, just weird how that works for some guys. They just go to other 251 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:15,160 teams and it just Johnson been asked to leave. He's no longer even, he's no longer even allowed 252 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:22,200 to practice with the team, but it was mutual. Oh, quote unquote, it was, maybe we'll go back. 253 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:28,520 You've had three teams in less than a year. That's mutual, right? Yeah. Find the common denominator. 254 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,840 Something about the player. What is it with the Steelers, man, that just pick out like the 255 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:38,520 knuckleheads of all the receivers they can get? They get rid of them right away. Let me squeeze 256 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:48,040 out any kind of like productivity I can from this guy and then bye. Bye. Thank you. Next. 257 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:54,040 How long before George Pickens is gone? Oh, honestly, they start doing antics like that, 258 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,840 dude. Everyone you think about, dude, they're gone. Plexigirl, good burris, gone. Santonio 259 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:05,240 Holmes, gone. Like all these guys that do something. Antonio Brown, gone. Like all these dudes. 260 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:12,840 Antonio Brown is gone on multiple levels. Well, beyond that. And all these dudes did great for 261 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:17,160 the Steelers. I'm not complaining about their time with the Steelers, but like no one wants that 262 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:22,440 diva type attitude. And it's like, man, it's, you know, not every player's Larry Fitzgerald, 263 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,440 you know, which is unfortunate because it's like, man, they're just your professional 264 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:31,560 like act like one sometimes, man. Like you're getting paid millions. Like, come on, dude, just 265 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,440 be a professional sometimes. Like, I don't get, it's like, oh, we got an interception. The whole 266 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,760 defense seems to go down. We're throwing up gang signs and we're going to be cool. And it's like, 267 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,640 have you ever gotten a turnover before? Get to the sidelines. Like, geez. 268 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,440 I know. Fuck that, man. Let's wear a chain. Let's get a gang. 269 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,560 Hard disagreement in there. Dude, this is our reality show. 270 00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:01,080 Let them be excited. 271 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,560 As much of a clown as you want to be. Go out there. Give me something to talk about next Tuesday. 272 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,120 Get high. 273 00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:08,760 For our podcast, dude. Go nuts. I don't give a shit. 274 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,120 As long as you don't screw up my fantasy team, I don't care. Go out there and go streaking like 275 00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:20,280 Antonio Brown. I don't care. So what? So they're doing all that, but Colin Kaepernick or Tim Tebow 276 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,120 taking the knee for different reasons and they're both not allowed to do it. Like, 277 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,480 I never said they weren't allowed to do it. I'm not saying you are. I'm just saying how the NFL is 278 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:35,560 such a what's going to bring us money type thing. It's no fun league, bro. It's all entertainment. 279 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:41,880 Like it is what it is. I get it. Like why watch it. Watch it. I don't have to go there. Like, 280 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,880 it's only fun until it hurts somebody's feelings. Exactly. 281 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:48,920 It is what it is. 282 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,000 But okay. So we touched bills. We touched Eagles. 283 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:03,400 There's a couple others in here that are kind of, they have me a bit perplexed, right? The Chiefs 284 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,000 by some miracle. I don't even know if you can call it a miracle 285 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,920 because it's scripted or it's staged or whatever it is. They're still up there and they're going 286 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:23,640 to they're going to be up there at the end of the season, right? The Lions loved them. They're 287 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:29,640 my darling. This Cinderella. I love them. I want to see them go. They're beat to shit right now. 288 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,040 They're too beat up, bro. The Vikings. 289 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:41,720 I think the why is nobody talking about the Vikings right now? How are they 12 and 2? 290 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,920 I think the Vikings, I'm going to say it now. I think the Vikings might win the North. 291 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,440 Dude, defense. They were. Is it though? I mean, 292 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,320 go ahead, Jordan. I know respect and I'm here to give them respect, dude. They were, 293 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:09,080 they were for the game was it might have been Sunday night, the Packers game or might have 294 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,480 been the game last night. They were talking about it too, but they were showing me odds for NFC North 295 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:19,160 and the Vikings were still plus 1000 Detroit was first Green Bay was ahead of Minnesota, 296 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,880 which I thought was interesting because I'm like, man, I don't, I don't know why Minnesota is 297 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,280 not getting the respect. I'm guessing it's because of Sam Donald. Do I think he can step 298 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:34,280 up and up in a big time? I don't know. I feel like he's got so many guys around him that like 299 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,840 I look at, I always tell people, I'm like, look at Joe Burrow, dude. You know, 300 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,360 he's throwing the ball to Jamar Chase. It's one of those things like four years ago, 301 00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:49,800 the opposite makes me sick. Like, you know, like the Kansas City Chiefs, like the other team knew 302 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,360 the ball was going to Travis Kelsey Kansas City, no, no ball was going to Travis Kelsey. 303 00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:58,120 And somehow the ball still got the Travis Kelsey. So it's one of those things in Minnesota. 304 00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:04,040 You have Justin Jefferson, like comes down to it. Like it's third and five, it's fourth and five. 305 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,080 You're throwing the ball to Justin Jefferson. I don't care if there's a dude right on him. 306 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:12,200 Like you live or die with him, but it's like they have so many other guys with Hawkinson 307 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:19,000 and Addison and Aaron Jones, man, that defense has been like in top three all year. No one's even 308 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,960 talking about him. And it's like, I feel like Minnesota probably feels good about that. Like 309 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,440 go Minnesota. They never won a Super Bowl. Like let's go Minnesota and Detroit. Like 310 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,800 my team's won six. We don't need to win another one right now. Like let another team win. Let 311 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,600 another team that's never won. Like that's why like Buffalo. I feel the same way about our fantasy 312 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:47,240 league douchebag. We're not making millions. Like I'm sure we can figure out something. 313 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,640 I think a couple hundred bucks to make sure that you don't win another one. That's fine. 314 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:58,280 Something to rig it a little bit. But yeah, they don't see Northman. 315 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,400 It's tough division. There's three teams coming out of that that are making the playoffs. It's 316 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:10,600 I don't know. It's I don't know. It's it's going to be wild. The chiefs who knows what my homes and 317 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,400 how his ankle is. They sit out a couple of games. They don't go for the number one seed. 318 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:21,960 Is that hurt them? I don't know. I think either way, I think Buffalo is going to pass them somehow 319 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:28,840 to get that number one seed. I don't agree. And I hope I hope at some point, Kansas City has to 320 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:36,120 play Denver, which they do one more time. And I hope they lose and knock some rain to the cheese bar. 321 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:46,360 Yeah. The Broncos. Yeah. The cheese. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For bills. Yeah. Chiefs on the one-mile division. 322 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,800 What about wildcards? I mean, 323 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,360 anybody going to sneak in there? 324 00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:07,640 I mean, from the NFC right now, it's looking pretty dicey. AFC is pretty much, I would say, 325 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,840 locked up. I don't see the bangles squeezing in that defense is terrible. They're probably going 326 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:22,440 to lose at least one more game out of the next three. Beyond that, Miami is pretty much toast as 327 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,480 well. We saw how well they got handled by the Texans. Nobody thought the Texans were even that good 328 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,680 of a divisional leader to begin with. Who are the three wildcards? Do you know right now, Joe? 329 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:40,520 Baltimore, Denver, Indy. Denver. Or the Chargers. Sorry. Yes. I was going to say San Diego. I don't 330 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:47,160 know if we get fine a dollar for that. I know that's the thing. Indy. San Diego. Yeah. You got to go on the 331 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:54,040 MLA Chargers. When the baseball, when the Tampa Bay Rays, they changed from the Devil Rays. Every 332 00:28:54,040 --> 00:29:00,840 time they said Devil Rays on the station, had to donate a dollar or some charity. So you had to say 333 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:08,840 that it's not Devil Rays. Awesome. It's one of those things. So it's like ridiculous. Well, in that 334 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:14,200 case, you owe me a dollar for saying San Diego Chargers. It just sounds better. I feel like they 335 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:22,920 still should be in San Diego. It was just like Oakland Raiders. I mean, I feel like every 336 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:29,240 time you go to the St. Louis Rams. Yeah. I mean, I feel like Vegas is obviously a hot spot for 337 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,880 sports. I lived in Vegas when I was younger and that was just one of those things where I never 338 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,960 thought, no one ever thought professional teams would be in Vegas because of the gambling, but 339 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,920 obviously with all the apps and everything you have, you don't need to go to a casino to bet 340 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,960 or gamble. So it's like, I feel like that had a lot to do with it. But yeah, I feel you there, Joe. 341 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:53,800 But yeah, I like the old school teams and teams are moving. So yeah, the Oakland, I just feel 342 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,040 like they needed a new stadium because like you watch the game there and it's like, what do they 343 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,360 do when playing on a baseball field? Well, this is how like half the teams used to play. And then 344 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:07,960 teams got wealthy and built their own stadium, but Oakland's poor. So they're still sharing a stadium 345 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:13,800 from the 1970s with their baseball team. Yeah. I don't think anybody wants to travel to Oakland. 346 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:22,920 Yeah. Indy, I think losing this week pretty much. Yeah, they're done solidified them being done. So 347 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:31,160 really it's Baltimore, Denver and the Chargers in the NFC right now. You have Minnesota, Green Bay 348 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:37,720 and Washington. And then I mean, you look at, I mean, there's so many teams in it because that 349 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:44,360 NFC South, like Joe was mentioning about the NFC, like NFC South is pretty garbage. Like Tampa Bay 350 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:50,280 should win that. It's Tampa or Atlanta. And then you also going to look at the NFC West. 351 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:56,840 Yeah, same situation. Everybody's still involved. Everyone's still in. I don't think Seattle is the 352 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:06,360 best team. I think, I think the Rams, I think are the best team that Thursday night game last week was 353 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:13,160 garbage. That was almost worse than, I don't know, which was worse that Monday night game last night, 354 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:19,480 the Falcons and the Raiders. Like, yeah, no one was watching that compared to the other game. But 355 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,200 yeah, the NFC, man, there's, there's a lot of teams still in it because of those two divisions. 356 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:30,040 Like, I don't know if you guys remember, it was like back to like mid 2010s when Seattle was hosting 357 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:35,000 a playoff game, one in that division at like seven and nine. So how the hell are you hosting the game? 358 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,240 So you're hosting the game. You straight have a losing record. That's been like the, 359 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:45,400 that was like, that was the NBA East, like the whole Eastern Conference for like 20 years. Like 360 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,960 the bottom three or four teams have a losing record and making it into the playoffs. Like, 361 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,440 you got teams in the West with 50 wins. Sorry, you don't make the playoffs just because the West 362 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:59,400 is loaded. It's just one of those things where it's like, should you take the best teams or, 363 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,600 hey, a team won their division, man, like they should be in it, right? Like, that's how it goes, 364 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,320 just because that division was pretty garbage, but they won it. They were the most garbage. 365 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:16,280 They get the host. That's how we do it. Yeah. So it's just like, I get it. Like, 366 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,360 I don't know. Yeah. Life isn't fair. Sometimes sports aren't fair when it comes down and play 367 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:27,400 off and what teams make it in. Cause I don't think it's really that situation this year, 368 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:34,360 especially with the AFC. Obviously, I feel like the AFC is pretty strong at NFC though, man. Like, 369 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:39,080 yeah, like we already talked about, there's just so many teams that are still involved and still 370 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,240 have a chance to, you know, either team goes out and runs Wednesday straight right here. You can 371 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,840 easily win your division and host a playoff game and go on a run, man. Like it's happened with 372 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:55,000 teams before. So just make the playoffs. Anything can happen. I'll see if you look at it right now. 373 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:02,920 Most of the teams haven't even locked up their own division within the NFC. You still got Vikings 374 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:10,200 in Detroit and possibly Green Bay fighting for the North. Washington and Eagles having their match 375 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:21,480 up this week, possibly determine if they get the NFC ease. So let me ask you guys this. I, 376 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:31,080 because I think we both play both ways. Sorry. I'm trying to figure out how to phrase this. How 377 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,240 do you guys feel about the divisions in our fantasy league? Right? Because we talk about, 378 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,520 you know, you got a garbage team, but they won the division. So they deserve to be in, right? 379 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,960 We've seen this happen in our team a couple, or in our league a couple of times where, 380 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:50,840 you know, the winner of the division obviously gets in, but then the two seed could be 381 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:58,440 the four seed. Yeah. You know what I mean? So how do you guys feel about the divisions in GSC main? 382 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:06,920 I'll go first if you guys don't mind. I'm actually going to change mine next year, Cody, to what I'm 383 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:12,840 going to do. I'm not a big fan of the divisions. I think it makes the most sense if I think if you 384 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:20,760 have 12 teams, I think 12 teams makes it a balance six and six. I think, you know, you're in my league. 385 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:27,240 We have 10 teams. The top eight teams make the playoffs. No, but it's wild to me. Yeah. Yeah. 386 00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:34,600 Top eight teams make the playoffs. No buys. I almost want to do next year. All 10 teams make it, 387 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,880 and the top two teams get a buy. That way it gives you something more to play for the regular 388 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:45,400 season to where you're, you have a, you get a buy on the first round, but maybe because you didn't 389 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,600 have the greatest year, you still get to make it in the playoffs and have a chance. Like, 390 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,880 I don't know. I just feel like, you know, everyone's trying, everyone's trying to win, 391 00:34:53,880 --> 00:35:00,440 but I feel like if we were to do it in GSC, main, get rid of the divisions, do top eight teams make 392 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:07,960 it, top two teams get a buy and then four other teams play it. So low key. I was kind of thinking 393 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:16,920 the opposite where get rid of the divisions, but only the top four teams make it. No buy. 394 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:27,240 Oh, I don't like that. No, I think you got to leave it at top six. And that's not saying 395 00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:35,240 you would. But no, I think you got a reward. I think you have to reward those top two seeds, 396 00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:40,760 being able to be automatically in per se the money rounds. 397 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:48,520 Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point. Joe, what do you think about it? 398 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:56,120 I would say take out the divisions and yeah, let it still be top six teams make it in. 399 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,760 That way you don't have to worry about who's lining up in divisions on 400 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,040 how you want to play your team in the last week. That way nobody's really having to 401 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:14,040 get screwed out of it. I agree with Jordan. I think the divisions, it's kind of pointless anyway. 402 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:23,160 We really just go buy head to head and points for before we go divisional. So it is kind of 403 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,800 pointless, but mark it down. We'll talk about that in the off season for our league. I think it 404 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:36,360 does make more sense for a larger league, but it's also very difficult to get 10 people 405 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:44,520 to be engaged for 17 weeks of the year, much less 12. So that's interesting. I like that 406 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,480 convo. We'll definitely have to follow up on that for sure. 407 00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:54,200 All right, Jordan, you're up, my guy. What do you got? 408 00:36:55,240 --> 00:37:02,360 Well, coming down to the wire, obviously, I think most games are, as we talked about with 409 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:08,600 these divisions and everything coming up with some teams in wins to make it in the playoffs. 410 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:14,600 So we're going to go into our games the week this week. I feel like maybe I'm always being a 411 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:19,880 homer and always picking the Steelers, but I feel like they're, they've just been in big games lately 412 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:25,080 with the other teams, especially last week. They already brought it up them against the Eagles. 413 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,200 The hats off to the Eagles man. They played good. They looked good. They controlled the ball. They 414 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:35,960 ran the ball. Playoff football. Like we already talked about them in the bills. Like they're 415 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:40,920 going to be hard to beat their hard team. But Steelers come off the tough loss, man. They 416 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:49,640 got to go to the Ravens divisional game. This pretty much kind of makes the makes or breaks 417 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:55,240 the division for the AFC North right here. Steelers win this. I think they win the division. 418 00:37:55,240 --> 00:38:03,800 They lose it. It's still up in the air because it'll be one in one with the Ravens. I don't know, 419 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:09,160 man. Steelers are going to Baltimore Ravens coming off the pretty big game. Steelers coming off the 420 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:15,880 loss. Russ not looking good. Russ not looking good without George Pickens. He's a, didn't think he 421 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,640 made that big of an impact, but they're passing games just gone downhill without Pickens. 422 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:26,680 Yes, it has. Yes. I mean, I don't know. We've already talked about this thing off the off of 423 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:33,720 before we came on air here about just Lamar Jackson just struggles against Steelers. I don't know why. 424 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,840 I hope this is the week he does it for me fantasy, but I'm taking the Steelers with the W still. 425 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:50,840 I, so listen, I, you mentioned that to me that Lamar really struggles against Pittsburgh. 426 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:58,600 You told me to look it up and I did. And I was actually really shocked by what I saw 427 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:05,400 because as an MVP candidate for this year, which I think he still is personally for me, 428 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:11,400 I think my vote would go to Josh Allen right now, but I do think Lamar is an MVP candidate. 429 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,880 Seeing his stats against Pittsburgh over his career. 430 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:26,920 Scary. It's scary, man. I do feel enlightened by that information. However, 431 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:39,240 I don't see Pittsburgh making a deep season run. Maybe, maybe one win in the playoffs. 432 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:47,000 Baltimore, I do. And I think they know that. And this is a must win game for them in my mind 433 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,080 at home. I'll take the ribbons. 434 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:58,440 I'm going to agree with Cody on that. I'm going to take the Ravens at home. 435 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:09,560 Joe, you got that. I would have to actually agree with Brandon and Cody on that one. 436 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,680 Honestly, with Derek Henry's way he's gone this season. 437 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,720 You mentioned George Pickens being out, TJ Watt getting hurt last week. 438 00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:23,000 There's a lot of things going up against Pittsburgh. I'd possibly don't even really see them making 439 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:31,880 out of wild card round if they do have to play in it. So, yeah, I'll take the Ravens. 440 00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:43,160 Derek Henry probably for over 125. Wow. Wow. One step further. They just shut down 441 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,720 that one. They're going to shut down Henry this week. Lamar is going to have to throw it, just 442 00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:51,640 like hurts had to. And I think Lamar has a big game for that reason. 443 00:40:54,600 --> 00:41:01,560 We'll see. Yeah. Yeah. When is Pickens coming back? Maybe this week. 444 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,320 Did you just say that? I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe this week. 445 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:17,320 Okay. But not for sure yet. So obviously I think if he all depends on how much or if he practices 446 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:25,480 this week. But I think that's why they're out was for this game. Coming down in his last three weeks, 447 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:34,760 they got two divisional games. So yeah. I'll go next. My game of the week. I'm going to take Minnesota 448 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:49,240 in Seattle. Seattle tough loss this week against Green Bay. Playing another NFC North opponent. 449 00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:55,320 I think this is going to be another. I think this will be a good game. I think this is a big game 450 00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:05,400 for Seattle just to kind of stay in the conversation with winning the West. But I do like Minnesota 451 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:14,120 in this matchup. I'm not going to go against Donald in Jettus. Go ahead, Joe. 452 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,600 I actually will go ahead and agree with Brandon on that one as well. Just because of Geno Smith 453 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:26,120 being injured last week, that's going to put a struggle in their passing game. Kind of Walker's 454 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:33,080 been out recent weeks as well. That puts a struggle on the run game. And they just got 455 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:41,240 select by Jordan Love and Romeo Dobbs for two touchdowns. So I will go ahead and absolutely 456 00:42:41,240 --> 00:42:51,800 take Vikings and I'll take another one step further and say Jettus for over 100 yards. Jordan. Yeah, 457 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:57,960 I like all that. I as we were just talking about the NFC West, I don't think Seattle's the best 458 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:04,760 team in that division. Geno Smith's put up a lot of big numbers. He's thrown a lot of big time 459 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:11,880 in receptions in the red zone. The Vikings, man, I think they're the shock the NFL this year. 460 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,320 Probably supposed to be in a rebuild getting Sam Darnold as your quarterback. You've used your draft 461 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:26,920 pick quarterback. Vikings are looking good, man. I don't know. I think I want Seattle to be good 462 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,320 because I have Kenneth Walker, but I think I've already talked myself out of it that 463 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,320 even if Kenneth Walker is healthy this week, I'm starting to re-codabble over him. 464 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,560 Just because the way Dallas is playing, he's ran for over 100 yards for straight games. 465 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:46,760 But I think the Vikings go into Seattle and stomp them, dude. Like I'm putting up 40 points type 466 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:55,000 thing. I think it's a big game for Addison and Jefferson. I think Darnold has a big game. I think 467 00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:01,800 Minnesota comes out and makes a statement. They run all over Seattle, so I'm taking Minnesota. 468 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:08,200 Yeah. Consider it four votes for Minnesota. I won't spend too much time on it because you guys 469 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:16,280 really nailed it. I'll take the Vikings here. I think this is a chance for the Vikings to jump 470 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:21,080 into that conversation. We talked about it earlier in the show. Nobody's given them respect. No one's 471 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:27,800 given them the talks about how well they're playing. And don't forget Sam Darnold's playing for a bag 472 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:33,000 right now. Like he's likely going to a different team next year. They got JJ McCarthy coming in. 473 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,240 They want to invest in this player. Sam Darnold's going to go somewhere and get frigging paid. 474 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,280 So he's got a lot to play for. The Vikings have a lot to play for. I'm with you, Jordan. 475 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,520 I think they stomp them. Give me Minnesota. 476 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:56,440 Clean sweep. I'll go next. I love this divisional matchup here. And I think there's a lot at stake. 477 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:04,120 Give me Broncos at Chargers. Bonix looked rough this last week, but they still pulled out the 478 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:15,400 dub. Thanks in part to the defense for sure. However, I think they clean that up this week. 479 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:22,760 And I think this is a statement game for them to go on the road and win in LA as 480 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:30,840 you know, the kind of we're getting over that hump. You know, you know, I'm a Broncos fan, 481 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:37,960 Joe, you are too. I think the Broncos get it done here, man. I love both of these coaches, 482 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:45,880 Harbaugh and Peyton. I think they're, you know, up there with some of the best for sure. 483 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:53,000 But I really like the Broncos to come in there and get it done. They're already one game up on 484 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,840 the Chargers. I think they're going to make a statement. I think that I'll go one further. I 485 00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:01,320 think they're going to beat the Chargers and I think they're going to beat the Chiefs in two weeks. 486 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:06,600 I like it. 487 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:17,240 Yeah, I think as we were talking earlier about the Chargers, man with Brandon, with JK 488 00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:21,000 Dovens, I feel like ever since he's gone down, my team's kind of gone down. They haven't played 489 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,400 as good. That defense hasn't been as good with JK Dovens doesn't play defense, but 490 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:31,320 I feel like we've just kind of gone down since then. I feel like the Broncos are 491 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:38,520 trending upwards like for like the past like eight, nine weeks now. I feel like a game like last 492 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:43,080 week, you have a bad game and you still come out with a win as a good sign of your team where your 493 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:48,200 offense isn't always going to carry you. Your defense, mental team helps out. I'm pretty sure 494 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:57,640 you got a big punt returning that game too. For the Broncos with Mims, I think that I think the 495 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:04,200 Broncos defense is going to come out and show out this game on two or three interceptions on Herbert. 496 00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:10,040 I think he's going to be forced in the ball to lad a little bit too much. I don't know. Yeah, 497 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:15,560 I see the Broncos going in here. So the Thursday night game, by the way, I think the Broncos go 498 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:23,880 in there and beat the Chargers. Like Cody said, I think they might just roll off four straight wins 499 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:28,680 right here, make it into the playoffs and you make the playoffs man. Anything can happen. You 500 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:34,280 have a big game, your defense shows up. Also takes a couple picks, a couple of turnovers to win a 501 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:41,160 game in the playoffs. So I'm going to take the Broncos in this one. Yeah, just like you said, 502 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:49,800 Jordan Dobbins, that injury really took out a lot of the Chargers offense. I'm going to roll with the 503 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:59,320 Broncos on this one. I don't think too much needs to be said with the Broncos on the back 504 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:06,840 of the corner. Yeah, they're going to Broncos. Nick Bonito's interception last week was glorious, 505 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:13,640 even though he got flagged for it, but that's okay. He'll take that fine any day. Yeah, hands down, 506 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:22,440 give me the Broncos. Love it. No sweep here. Joe, who you got? I guess that brings me into 507 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:28,280 an our final game of the week, which is another divisional matchup between the Eagles and the 508 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:35,160 commanders. I talked about Jayden Daniels earlier. I think he's having a phenomenal year as a rookie. 509 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:39,960 I just don't think that D-Chance is going to hold up any. Saquon's going to run all over them for 510 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:47,640 days and probably put up another 150 per game. Sorry, Jordan, I know that's probably not something 511 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:52,680 you want to wish for, but I'm going to go ahead and definitely take the Eagles on this one. 512 00:48:52,680 --> 00:49:02,440 Yeah, I'm playing against Saquon this week in GSC Maine. Stephen has him. 513 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:10,200 It's always scary, man, because Saquon's one of those backs. I can put up 200 total yards, 514 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:16,200 a couple touchdowns to have a monster game. These are just one of those games where I'm just hoping, 515 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,200 man, it's a divisional game. I feel like the commanders really need this right now. 516 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:24,440 This would be a huge win for the commanders. So I'm hoping it's one of those games where it's 517 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:30,680 like a nine to six, like just field goals, like only like divisional. Somehow the defense just 518 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:37,640 steps up. Like the weather is just bad. It's something just hoping for something. But I, 519 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,880 like I said, man, the way the Eagles looked against the Steelers last week, the way they've 520 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:48,680 looked, what, eight, nine straight wins, whatever they're on. I feel like they're just, they're a 521 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:53,640 hard team to stop right now. Cause it's, who do you focus on Saquon? Like, all right, shot him 522 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:58,360 down like the Steelers did. And then you got AJ Brown and DeBonte Smith just tearing you up behind. 523 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,080 It's hard for me to pick against the Eagles. I ain't picking against them. I'm taking the Eagles 524 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:11,480 for sure. I feel like they're going to dominate this game from start to finish. And I hope it's, 525 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:17,320 like I said, a nine to six game, but I'm expecting like a double digit type win from the Eagles in 526 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:25,720 this game. I don't know if it's necessarily going to be nine to six, but I do anticipate this to be 527 00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:31,640 a close game. And honestly, I'm just, I'm going to go against the grain here and hope for something 528 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:38,280 wild out of this. I'm going to go with the commanders in this one. They're at home. I just, 529 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,280 I don't know, I feel it's one of those, those weird feelings. You know what I mean? You got to go 530 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:49,960 with it. I think obviously the Eagles, I think are definitely the better team. But, but I see a 531 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:56,760 surprise coming out of this one. I think Jane Daniels makes some wild stuff happen. Terry 532 00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:04,360 McClaren, three touchdowns this week, not two. What's up, Joe? I like it, man. I'm going to take 533 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:14,600 the commanders here. I like the upset. I'm rolling with Eagles. They showed that they can pass. 534 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:24,120 That game is, you know, a division game. I think Seyquan is going to have a solid game, but 535 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:30,040 Eagles showed that they can pass the ball. They're one of the top offenses in the league for a reason. 536 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:37,640 I'm going to roll with Hertz and the Eagles. All right. All right. 537 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:44,920 I really hope I didn't make a fool out of myself with that take. I hope I get to come back next 538 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:55,960 week and say, I told you so. There's one. Yeah, I like it. Sweet. Well, just so everyone knows, 539 00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:03,800 CFP brackets are officially in the group. Go ahead. Follow the link. You'll fill out a bracket. 540 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,560 Oh, that was going to be my question. I'm glad you said it. 541 00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:13,720 Guess you guys will find out when 542 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:20,040 Oh, come on. Come on. I want to hear you say it right now. 543 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:33,080 I'm probably I don't know, man. I'm indecisive, to be honest. I'm stuck between Georgia and 544 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,160 to be honest, I 545 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:47,480 I see Georgia winning their side of the bracket. It's either going to be Texas or Oregon. Yeah, I know it. 546 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:55,000 And I feel like it's either going to be I don't see Georgia winning it. So whoever I 547 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,320 pick between the Oregon and the Texas game, that's who my champion is going to be. 548 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:12,680 I hate that because I agree, dude. I agree. I feel like it's going to be Oregon or Texas. 549 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:17,480 I honestly, I just I don't know. I 550 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:27,960 I think George has an easy route to the final. I think the only team that could maybe 551 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:35,960 play with Georgia is going to be even if Georgia's let's say Georgia's quarterback doesn't come back. 552 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:43,400 I think even with that being the case, I still think they make the semifinal and maybe play 553 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:51,720 Penn State and still I think they beat Penn State. I'm excited for it. I really think Oregon has an 554 00:53:51,720 --> 00:54:01,080 easy path to the final. No. I thought that's what you just said. No, Georgia does. Oh, okay. 555 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:08,360 Yes, I would agree with that. Oregon does not. No, they've got like the hardest path to the final. 556 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:13,560 Yes. But I feel like it's going to be funny either way. It'd be cool first year for the 557 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:19,560 12 team playoff. The exciting that's new for everyone. We'll have some changes next year, 558 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:24,840 I'm sure, but I'm excited for it. I like it. You guys picking Cody, Joe, you got any 559 00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:31,640 pot takes for college? Go ahead, Joe. I'm not. I don't watch college all that much, 560 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:36,200 even though I'm wearing a Foulton shirt. I don't watch college all that much. I probably would 561 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:43,960 say just going based off of what I've seen. I like Oregon. I've heard good things about SMU, 562 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:50,760 Boise State, Texas. I definitely give it to probably one of those teams for sure. 563 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:55,960 Most likely Oregon just because of the Knicks. We'll go with that. 564 00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:03,640 Oh yeah. I like that. That's fair. I will start by saying that I would love to see 565 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:08,680 Oregon and Boise State play in the championship. Not happen. 566 00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:13,960 Well, and hear me out. The only reason why is because that's Boise State's only loss this year 567 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:21,720 and it took some magic, some witchcraft to make it happen. I watched that game. I remember it. 568 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,880 It was one of each other over the years for a long time. It's one of those games and Boise State 569 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:33,480 used to play Oregon State too. When it was all part of the Pac-12 and they were mid Mountain West 570 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:39,240 like they are now, but that would be that'd be a wild game. There'd be a lot of upset people in the 571 00:55:39,240 --> 00:55:45,960 South if that was the college football final. Oh yeah. A lot of people in the Northwest 572 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:54,520 praying for sunshine and no more rain. But that'd be a crazy game. I don't know. Like I said, 573 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,200 I feel like there's going to be a couple of upsets. Something's going to happen, man, 574 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:02,600 where it's college football. Well, that's not who I'm picking. Just so you're aware. 575 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,640 I'm just saying that's who I would love to see. I would love to see that happen. 576 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:11,240 All right. What do I think is going to happen? That's give me Texas versus Penn State. 577 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,320 I'd like to see that. But Penn State chokes like 578 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,720 I don't even know when in our league and playoffs because look at look at their path. 579 00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:27,720 Look at their championship. They have that's what I was saying. Penn State's path is so easy to the 580 00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:35,240 semis. But I didn't say they're going to win it. Then say never wins the big game. So like I'd like 581 00:56:35,240 --> 00:56:42,120 I'd like to see it. I love the state of Pennsylvania, but Penn State just give me Texas for the ship 582 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:48,920 this year. Arch Manning for the Heisman next year. Many transfers to UNC to play with Bill Bowichick. 583 00:56:55,560 --> 00:57:03,480 Oh, I'm excited for Joe football. Buddy, thank you so much for joining us this week. We're about 584 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:11,800 to wrap it up. Any final thoughts? I just after this week, I don't know if I'm ever going to hear 585 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:18,200 from you again. I just feel like I'm hoping definitely not to that you won't have to worry 586 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:23,480 about that when I go ahead and battle during for the championship and let you deal with everything 587 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:31,640 else. But no, man, it's been good. I like this is great. But it's our third time this year, 588 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:37,240 man. We're one and one. The first one was pretty close. Second one, not so much. You got the best 589 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:45,080 to me on the second one, but point to French or about the same. I will see how how your tight end 590 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:54,920 holds out this week. No, no, no love for Steven in this. By the way, everybody's just counting Jordan 591 00:57:54,920 --> 00:58:01,560 into this championship game. Let's give some love to Steven here. Come on, man. Let's go. 592 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:10,440 Cortland Slutton, man. Give me the upset, Steven. Let's go. Sorry, continue the nobody thinks. 593 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:18,520 Oh, that's what we all want. But we all just have seen what happens. Sorry. Everybody wants that. 594 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,960 I've been saying it all all of the last two weeks. One seeds are over in the second round. 595 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:29,240 I just want to make sure that that that never been a one seed before. So 596 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:36,280 he's never been good enough. That's fine. Sorry. I didn't have to be a one seed to win my two 597 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:48,040 championships. Kind of walked in that one. Didn't I boys screwed yourself. But everyone keep an eye 598 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:56,680 on socials for updates with the Champions League.
