Coming to you on Wednesday morning, a little 10 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,440 bit earlier than normal. You guys used to be on a weekend show. We will be coming out 11 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,360 mid week in order to try and take advantage of the NFL calendar for pretty much the remainder 12 00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:01,040 of the NFL season. So welcome in to the show. So excited to be talking with you guys. They 13 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,040 said last time you guys heard from me was Sunday. So just four days later, feeling like 14 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,800 I'm a Thursday night football team. You guys are hearing from me again. We're discussing 15 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,200 the NFL. We're pretty much most of the show. We're about Jack's hot take, which is going 16 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:23,200 to be a doozy. So stay prepared for that. But we are jumping right into NFL week one 17 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,000 about what's going on with the shield in the NFL. And of course, I have to start off with 18 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,080 the biggest news that happened. I'm recording this Tuesday night. So if I say things like 19 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,800 last night, just be aware of that. The biggest thing that happened last night. And that was 20 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,080 four plays into his New York Jets career. Aaron Rodgers popped his Achilles tendon and 21 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:52,360 it's out for the season and potentially his career is over. Watching it happen. It was 22 00:02:52,360 --> 00:03:00,160 one of those things where he went down, right? And I said, Oh, he got sacked. And then I 23 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:06,600 saw some stuff people were tweeting or posting, I guess these days. Rodgers is down. I'm like, 24 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,480 that's weird. Like it was pretty, pretty normal tackle. There was no pain. It wasn't like 25 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:22,000 the guy immediately called over. It was like a regular tackle. And so see it, he stands 26 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,440 up and there's a few telltale signs of an Achilles injury. One of which is when a guy 27 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,800 stands up, you can stand up especially with the help of like help him up. He can line 28 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:43,200 me up and help him up. He takes a step with a non injured foot and then he tries to step 29 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,960 with the second one. His foot never comes off the ground and he sits right back down. 30 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,000 And I think at that moment he knew. It was one of those things where like there's a certain 31 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,820 pain. That's a specific area for pain. When that Achilles tendon disconnects from the 32 00:04:00,820 --> 00:04:07,880 heel or you know, separates itself or injures itself and the heel and the calf no longer 33 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:13,600 connected. It's a very targeted level of pain. So I think when he had that level of pain 34 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:21,760 and the unresponsiveness from his foot, that pretty much he knew at that point. Also another 35 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,440 telltale sign of an Achilles injury. There was a close up video that came out and it 36 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:34,880 got right up. It zoomed in four or five times the size. And when he steps and gets the guy 37 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,880 jumps on him and is about to tackle him, you watch his calf shutter. And the reason why 38 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:46,700 that happens is the Achilles tendon is like a old pair of curtains. When you pull the 39 00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:53,560 curtains up, well when you release that stress, because the Achilles tendon runs from the 40 00:04:53,560 --> 00:05:00,480 back of your heel, top of your heel, you can kind of feel it go into your calf. So that 41 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:07,040 is pretty much what's holding your heel to your calf. So once he pops and he rolls up 42 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,840 like an old lamp shade, it literally shutters. The force of it shutters because it releases 43 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:19,240 the calf muscle. Kevin Durant had a shutter. You know, there was a guy named Timmy Turner 44 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,800 a few years ago. I can't think of his name right now. His calf shuttered. When I saw those 45 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,320 things I immediately at that time tweeted, it's an Achilles. It has to be because that's 46 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,600 what happens. And then the third sign of course is you look back. Like someone kicked you. 47 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:40,080 A lot of DeMarcus Cousins famously ran down the court. Kevin Durant I think famously ran 48 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,720 down the court and looked back like someone had kicked him. And there was no one there 49 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:53,840 of course. And he was an Achilles tear. So absolutely devastating for New York. And I 50 00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,960 am going to take this in twofold. I'm going to take this from a New York perspective and 51 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:05,320 look at this from an Aaron perspective. Start off with the New York perspective. New York 52 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:13,680 spin since Aaron Rodgers was rumored to want to go to the Jets. They have spent the entire 53 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:20,800 off season and the preseason assembling players to fit Aaron. I started talking a certain 54 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:29,480 way to fit Aaron. Started adjusting the schedules to fit Aaron. In literally every single way 55 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:35,080 the Jets look a picture. I mean they got Allen Lazar. They signed Ramacob. They signed Down 56 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,240 a Good. The offensive coordinator of course is Nat Hackett. I mean he was literally settled 57 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:46,600 to be Green Bay East. Or Denver East if you want to take it that far. But it was literally 58 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,600 settled to be Green Bay East. All of Aaron Rodgers friends are going to have jobs. His 59 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,560 offensive coordinator is going to be somebody he can easily manipulate and trust and move 60 00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:04,920 over. And his fellow teammates will be guys that he at least tolerated for year one. And 61 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:11,960 so Aaron was in such a good faith that he gave back like $35 million to the organization 62 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:18,200 saying you know you keep this. Guarantee me my two years 35 and let's go in the Superbowl. 63 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,680 And then the attitudes around the Jets began to change. From an organization standpoint 64 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,600 to a fan standpoint to a media standpoint. People legitimately began to believe in the 65 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,520 viability of a New York Jets Superbowl. I mean it all started of course with Aaron at 66 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,680 his introductory press conference saying he was touring a building in a facility that 67 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:43,720 Joe named the Superbowl 3 Trophy looked lonely. You had people discussing it from all different 68 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,640 angles. You had Robert Sala saying we're not running from my expectations. Daven Cook when 69 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,720 he gets signed said we know we're going to try to get a Superbowl. Ownership management. 70 00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:00,840 They all fans of course media began to fall head over heels for the Jets saying they're 71 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,360 going to win a Superbowl. They were elite defense last year. They had the weaponry. 72 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:14,520 They were just a quarterback away. And so the night could not have started off in a 73 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:22,240 more perfect manner for New York. It's 9-11. Granted the stadium is in East Weatherford, 74 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,480 New Jersey but it's right across the water from lower Manhattan which is where the attacks 75 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:35,480 happen. It's 9-11. Your new savior at quarterback, let's be honest, he was looked at as a football 76 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:45,000 savior. Your new football savior at quarterback is running out with the American flag in New 77 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:52,960 York. It's his first game as a Jet. And he's running out with the American flag. I mean 78 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,640 it could not have gotten louder in that arena, in that stadium. Then when the Anrizer came 79 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:05,680 out with that American flag. And then you go and you get a stop on defense. Perfect. 80 00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:11,560 Let's see the Anrizer show right now. Let's just see it. He jaws off on the field. Crowd 81 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:21,840 is abuzz. Crowd is raging. And then four plays later. He's Achilles' torn. And it's seasons 82 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:31,920 over. And the air literally left the building. There has been some epic quiet downs. The 83 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:39,120 cheering even became hollow. It kind of felt like why are we doing this? It definitely 84 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:50,080 felt like, well this is the same old Jet. So I kind of feel bad for the fans. Ultimately. 85 00:09:50,080 --> 00:10:01,200 But the situation is, the situation is dire to be kind in New York. That's for the organization. 86 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,920 Because now Aaron and Scott Chief are saying if I made it I was guaranteed. And now I'm 87 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:12,760 flipping to Aaron's side. Aaron, let's take him at his word. Let's take Aaron at his word. 88 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,240 Let's take him at his word and say let's believe everything he says. He's been contemplating 89 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:25,040 retirement for the past couple of off seasons. He's been engaging in some alternative solutions 90 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:32,000 to medicine. Including that he was immunized against COVID which raised a whole big stink. 91 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:43,640 Ayahuasca. That was his past off season. He dabbled in Ayahuasca. Which is a hallucinogenic. 92 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:54,720 He was on Instagram Live and crossed out the word Moderna. And he's IG post. He was in 93 00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:00,520 a darkness retreat this past off season. Contemplating if he wanted to continue playing football 94 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:08,040 or not. He had become the very thing he wanted to avoid which was Brett Favre Jr. And now 95 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,800 he was looking to move on. He was going to move on in terms of his career choice. He 96 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,280 was going to move on to his team. He comes out of that darkness retreat and says he's 97 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,920 going to play for the New York Jets. Until he gets to the New York Jets and Nant Hacker 98 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,440 is already there. So they're already starting your version of the offense. And then you 99 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:34,240 get there and you kind of just fall into place. And yet you have good moments and you had 100 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,960 a good game in the preseason. The one you played in. First one in I think five or six 101 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:50,400 years. You threw an absolute beautiful back shoulder pass to Gary Wilson in the preseason. 102 00:11:50,400 --> 00:12:00,440 And on the fourth play in the regular season. Your Achilles pops. And so not only did you 103 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:07,720 give back $35 million that you could have during your recovery. All your build up and 104 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:14,880 your escape and everything is now clouded and it's burned to the ground by an Achilles 105 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:26,040 tear. Which has retired better athletes. So I wonder. I wonder if he considered retiring. 106 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:33,920 And the reason why is that your recovery from an Achilles is going to be long and strenuous. 107 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:39,200 Your season is already over for Aaron. He only has one more year left on his contract. 108 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,120 So what does Aaron do if the doctors say it will be 18 months for your full recovery. 109 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:50,960 That's the end of next season. Or as all of this season. You know so I say the doctor 110 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,000 says 12 to 18 months for your full recovery. That's the whole two year life of the contract. 111 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,480 Does Aaron just say forget it. You know like I just forget it. Just don't even worry about 112 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,880 football anymore. And he walks through when he retires. Or does he attempt to come back 113 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:21,960 from the Achilles. Steal a Super Bowl ring. And then ride off to the sunset. It's just. 114 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:30,680 It's such an unfortunate situation. If you're an Aaron Rodgers. Because you two are your 115 00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:37,000 kids. Jordan and Love look great. They started to kind of feel that the Packers nor the Jets 116 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,160 need you. You know Saus Gardner saying that Aaron told him sorry kid. That she was being 117 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,800 carted off. I mean we're looking at a situation here where the Jets are the Jets. That it 118 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,680 kind of doesn't matter what happens. It doesn't matter how they do it. It doesn't matter how 119 00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:57,800 fancy they get. How many Pro Bowl players they sign. They're the Jets. And so now all 120 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,600 the momentum they spent all summer building has come crashing down because they're back 121 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:10,360 into the Zach Wilson business. Robert Salas said there will be no QB competition regardless 122 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:17,280 of who they bring in. That it is Zach's team. So that's going to be very interesting to 123 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:26,080 keep our eye on for the rest of the season. The NFL had a lot of up and down quarterback 124 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:32,160 play over the past week. The money men who combined for a little over a billion dollars 125 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,880 with the contracts. About 1.3 billion dollars with the contracts. All struggled. Joe Burrow 126 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:43,360 had a career low passing yards of 82 yards. Patrick Mahomes visibly struggled. We touched 127 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:54,080 on him on Thursday. Visibly struggled with the Detroit Lions pass rush. And Josh Allen. 128 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,040 His third best receiver was Jordan Whitehead. The problem was Jordan Whitehead plays on 129 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:04,120 the Jets. The good news for Jordan Whitehead is he's got a $250,000 incentive for catching 130 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:11,800 three in Inceptions. His best bud Josh Allen made sure he got that all last night. You 131 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:17,880 know Josh Allen hit Jordan Whitehead so well with passes I actually began to take in a 132 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:24,440 group message. I mean all caps who is he throwing the ball to. Because there was poor decision 133 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:29,080 after poor decision after poor decision after poor decision after poor decision for Josh 134 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:34,640 Allen. I was legitimately curious at a certain point who was he throwing the ball to. And 135 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,920 then Lamar Jackson had the best numbers out of the group. However they were playing the 136 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:43,800 Houston Texans and it was not a down-knitting passing attack like I was expecting considering 137 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:54,360 that it is grambling. And now just for a few categories. Worst winners of the week. Bucks, 138 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,600 Eagles and Raiders. The Bucks did not look good. For most of that the Vikings pretty 139 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,120 much shot themselves in the foot which kind of allowed the Bucks to get back into the 140 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,280 game and ultimately win it. The Eagles struggled with the New England Patriots especially on 141 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:17,680 defense. Mack Jones was very decisive, very smart with the ball. No complaints about how 142 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,720 he handled himself in the slightest. And so you got a defense like the Eagles was supposed 143 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,560 to be this dominating force. Yes they did take the ball multiple times but you also 144 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,840 have an Eagles offense that was supposed to be a dominating force and they didn't do much 145 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,720 of anything the entire game. And then of course the Las Vegas Raiders battled out against 146 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:44,480 the Denver Broncos. I think the Denver Broncos would end up being ultimately a better football 147 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:50,960 team overall and have a strong chance at the wild card. However I just think Las Vegas 148 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:56,240 had their number that night. But the Raiders did not look impressive at all. And then we 149 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:06,520 have our best losers. We touched on the Pats earlier. But again Mack great decision making. 150 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:13,400 That's pretty much the gist of the Patriots game. Good decision making. You don't want 151 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,320 to throw too much on the film so you're going to relax on some of the other stuff. But doing 152 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:25,760 too much. Not doing enough. Not understanding all that stuff has to end. This week this 153 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:31,760 game all that stuff has to be no more. And then the Chargers. Same old story with the 154 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:38,400 Chargers. Different OC. Justin Herbert when his defense gives up 27 less points is like 155 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:50,200 some ridiculous number in 7. He doesn't lose if your defense is alive. He's not asking 156 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,080 you to ask for 2,000 Ravens. He's asking you to not give up 27 points because in games 157 00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:00,520 where his team does give up 27 points and it happened in 27 in his 50 starts teams are 158 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:11,120 6 and 23. When the team lost less than 27 points the Chargers are 19 to 4. So that could 159 00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:17,040 definitely kick start the movement in Los Angeles to try and get a better defense in 160 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,720 there. Now Brandon Staley is the defensive head coach. He was the defensive coordinator 161 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,720 for the Rams. They were the top defense I believe his last year. I don't know maybe 162 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,840 Aaron Donald makes everybody look good. I have no idea. But I mean Prime Aaron Donald, 163 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:37,640 Prime Van Miller, Aaron Donald, Leonard Floyd I believe, Prime Bobby Wagner, Prime Jalen 164 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:44,640 Ramsey. Maybe he was a product of his players. But they have a defensive head coach in the 165 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:50,640 Chargers and Brandon Staley. And the defense is obviously the issue as Justin Herbert can 166 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:57,840 continue to break records to start a career. And then of course my last category which 167 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:03,480 is the QBs that are over category is Ryan Tanahale and Justin Fields. Ryan Tanahale 168 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,560 looked cooked against the Saints. He threw multiple horrible interceptions trying to 169 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,080 force the ball to Deandre Hopkins. Marshall Adam will make him pay and a couple of other 170 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:19,560 people ended up making him pay severely for those poor decisions. So Ryan Tanahale I think 171 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:25,280 to me is over. I think the Titans need to get Malika Willis ready, Will Levis ready 172 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,640 to start because I don't think Ryan Tanahale is going to start very long. I don't think 173 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:37,360 he's the right man for the job at this point in time. And Justin Fields. I was on Trevor 174 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:41,320 Lawrence is better than Justin Fields in college. I was saying Trevor Lawrence is better than 175 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:46,360 him in high school. Trevor Lawrence is better than him in the NFL. I was called in St. Justin 176 00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:57,120 Louis when the most popular people bet on. I just. Some of Justin Fields decision making. 177 00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:01,560 I scratch my head a lot. And what's going on because multiple years in league and his 178 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:08,920 best assets, those legs. I struggle to figure out what's going on with the Chicago Bears. 179 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,480 I don't know if they're tanking, if they're not tanking. If they're tanking I take up 180 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:21,160 Caleb Williams. They aren't taking, tanking rather. I don't understand what's going on 181 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:49,840 with the Chicago Bears. But up next we're going to shift into our NFL week 2. Welcome 182 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:59,000 back into the show. Now we're going to dive into NFL week 2. We're discussing some interesting 183 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,800 match ups we have on the dot kit. Of course we have Thursday Night Football. And you guys 184 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,960 know if it is a game I discuss I would not pick a winner. If it is in my Jax pack, it 185 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:15,160 was our NFL betting segment. Vikings and Eagles is not in my NFL betting segment. I have the 186 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,920 Eagles. Look the Vikings are coming off a game where it was a noon game and they struggled 187 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:25,320 against the Bucs. Thursday night, prime time, Kirk Cousins is the quarterback. That's a 188 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:30,920 bad mixture. But on the other side it's not like Philadelphia had the world's best game 189 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,360 against New England. They struggled in multiple areas including protecting in the middle of 190 00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:40,280 the field which N'Kobe Dean is down. And they had an issue when they got spread thin with 191 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:46,120 something they can't just fix on the fly. That has to be something that they fix with 192 00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:51,640 the person that they have. So that is going to be incredibly interesting there with the 193 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:56,120 Eagles and the Vikings. I've got the Eagles relatively close by about 6. I don't know 194 00:21:56,120 --> 00:22:01,640 what the point spread is but I've got the Eagles by about 6. And so the Eagles will 195 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:08,520 move to 2-0 and the Vikings to 0-2. Up next it will be Ravens at Bengals. I have this 196 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:15,520 game on Jax Pax. I would not pick a winner. But this is the battle of the two AFC North 197 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:24,520 pillars as far as quarterback play. So Lamar and Burrow are going at it once again. Burrow 198 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:32,240 has owned Baltimore for a vast majority of his career. And so I don't see why that changes 199 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:39,240 today. And so the Bengals and Ravens will be a physical knockdown drawn out. Whichever 200 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:46,760 one of us makes the long pass first will definitely get the victory. 201 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:56,960 Patrick Mahomes goes to the Prince that was promised. This game is not in my Jax Pax but 202 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:03,960 I've got a strong feeling that the Chiefs will go into Duval against the Jaguars and 203 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,160 take another L. I just think that the Jaguars are going to dice the Chiefs up. I'm not sure 204 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,920 how you fix hands over the weekend whether it's a confidence thing or what. But whatever 205 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,600 it is it's going to be hard to do in a week. And so the Chiefs have a confidence issue 206 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:23,600 heading into Jacksonville and Duval. I've got, make sure it's not in my Jax Pax, I've 207 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,840 got Jacksonville win this game by about 6 points. They're going to make a play or two 208 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,120 on defense. They're going to take advantage of some less than 100% confident receivers. 209 00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:36,120 And I just think that they don't have the defense enough to stay with Jacksonville right now. 210 00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:41,240 Trevor Lawrence had a rough game against Indy but I expect him to bounce back to our offensive 211 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,800 bounce back. And they're not going to much well or unit than the unit we saw in the second 212 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:51,800 half of last year and not in the first half. And then Tuwa Atmak, the battle of the Alabama 213 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:58,360 quarterbacks. Also again, 9-9 Jax back. Tuwa Atmak is a huge game. I'm going to join those 214 00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:04,240 games where there's a lot of storylines in this game. Alabama quarterbacks, they went 215 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:11,240 in back to back. Tuwa then proceeded into Mack Jones. Both of them with a lot of questions 216 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:17,360 entering the NFL. Honestly Tuwa's carried most of his questions. Max kind of shed a 217 00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:21,280 couple of his. But for the most part they pretty much got their same exact questions 218 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,920 they got from when they were younger. Two quarterbacks from 9-9 SA, that's physically 219 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:32,480 gifted but has a lot of ability in this league and is being able to play in this league for 220 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,480 Tyree. For Tuwa, talking about low up, you've got the track team. You've got Tyree. You've 221 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,000 got David Aiken who was the fastest runner back at the combine. You have Jalen Watto 222 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:51,480 who was one of the top five fast people ever at the combine. When you have a situation 223 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,720 like that, this game has so many storylines, it is going to be incredibly interesting to 224 00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:01,040 watch. Again, a game also 9-9 Jax back. I am going to pick it. I've got the New England 225 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:06,920 page to buy for 27-23. I think it's going to be a little bit too much. Tyree's here 226 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,800 usually does not go off against New England. Bill Belichick has had a lot of practice against 227 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,240 him when he stayed on the Chiefs. Nice had him multiple times when he was in Miami in 228 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,520 the division. Tyree Hill usually doesn't go off on the Patriots. It is the others. Jalen 229 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:25,920 Watto gets a big catch. Anybody else who possibly showing around trying to just free up Tyree 230 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,240 Hill. I think Belichick is going to really focus his efforts on Tyree Hill and do his 231 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:36,840 best to take him out of the game and not remain coverage. Then if you look at it, what could 232 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,480 possibly cause the New England slip is the new offense, new continuity. They looked like 233 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,720 a team that hadn't played the preseason together or hadn't played it all together. It was just 234 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:51,280 small stuff that could be corrected that a good team in Miami Dolphins could go into 235 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:57,040 New England and beat them despite what I was saying it would be a 6 point game. 236 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,280 Now with some quick hitters. Lyle Collins has been released by the Cincinnati Bengals 237 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:06,080 from the physically unable to perform list. He has been connected to the New England Patriots. 238 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,800 He's had a very up and down tumultuous career. But now he's looked to find a home. He's 239 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:16,360 had to be on the PEP list. He is now a free agent and it appears he's ready to go. If 240 00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:23,920 that is the case, he immediately becomes a top target for the New England Patriots along 241 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:30,200 with anybody else who needs a legitimate tackle. Deontay Johnson of the Pittsburgh Steelers 242 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:35,840 along with Cam Hayward of the Pittsburgh Steelers will be out multiple weeks due to their respective 243 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:44,520 injuries. So the Steelers will be out two starters on defense before the foreseeable future. 244 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:54,360 And Carolina Panthers cornerback J.C. Horne is out multiple weeks with his injury as well. 245 00:26:54,360 --> 00:27:16,920 So now we're going to transition into our NFL betting segment, Jack's Pack. 246 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:44,440 Welcome back into the show. And now we're going to be discussing our NFL betting segment, 247 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:52,680 Jack's Pack. Our successful NFL betting segment, Jack's Pack last week. We went positive three 248 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:59,240 and two with our picks including nailing our lock. I thought our lock was pretty obvious. 249 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:06,200 It turns out it wasn't to most people. But we nailed our lock last week. Let me pull 250 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:12,480 that note back up. Our lock last week was Packers plus one at the Bears. Absolutely 251 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,560 nailed it. The Packers dominated the entire game. So we nailed our lock last week and 252 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:24,040 we went positive three and two in our selections. But now we're going to try and keep that trend 253 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,440 going. So the first game again, these games are in the order list. We're doing this off 254 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,600 the app, the ESPN app when I did the numbers. So I got them Tuesday night. Again, they're 255 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:40,600 not in order of favorite. The only thing that is a favorite game is of course the lock game. 256 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:45,560 So on the docket we have number one, Raiders at Bills. Bills minus nine and a half. Take 257 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,840 the Bills. Josh Allen struggled severely on Monday night football. He was summarily embarrassed. 258 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:57,680 He had four turn of turnovers including three picks to Jordan Whitehead. The entire world 259 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,160 is questioning his quarterback ability. It's questioning his team, questioning his organization, 260 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:07,080 questioning whether Stefan Diggs even wants to be there anymore. So many other things. 261 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:12,120 The Raiders is not a program that is currently used to success. And so they're going to struggle 262 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:18,840 in my opinion, handling their new foul success. Having done a number, not done a number on, 263 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,240 but having successfully taken down the Denver Broncos, an intro division opponent. Now they 264 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,320 have to deal with success and they get to go at the Buffalo Bills who will be looking 265 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:34,640 to give a measure of revenge against the NFL for their general ineptitude on Monday night 266 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:42,520 football. Losing to the Aaron Rodgerless, New York Jets and Zach Wilson. Field goal 267 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,880 return, punt return touchdown. Absolutely insane ending in that Bills and Jets game. 268 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,600 But I think the Bills absolutely rolled the Las Vegas Raiders here. I think Josh Allen 269 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,200 is going to have one of his 35 to 40 point games, which means that the Raiders would 270 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,840 have to get anywhere from 10 to 17, we'll have to get anywhere from 25 points or higher 271 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,240 in order to win, in order to keep the points ready to write. I don't think that happens. 272 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:13,120 And so I have strong faith in the Buffalo Bills winning this game by more than nine 273 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:20,000 and a half points. So again, the bet is Raiders at Bills take the Bills minus nine and a half. 274 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,760 Chargers at Titans. You get the Chargers minus three, take the Chargers. They don't watch 275 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:30,120 the Titans play. Now I get it. Now I get it. The Saints defense, one of the best defensive 276 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:35,440 in the league. They are completely and totally as advertised when they came into the league, 277 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,520 came into this season. A lot of people thought they were going to be one of the best defenses 278 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:45,480 and they showed up and showed out. I just don't believe in Ryan Tannehill and the Citus. 279 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:51,960 And I'm also looking at, I think the Chargers are going to get 30 points in this game. The 280 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,400 Titans have a pretty good pass rush, but I just don't, they don't have the corners to 281 00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:01,400 keep up with the Chargers. Now it's at Tennessee. So cross country travel could be advantageous 282 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:07,440 Tennessee. But I just don't think the Chargers have the ability to be slowed under 30 points, 283 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:14,920 especially by the Titans not having the corners required to really try and compete with the 284 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:23,200 Chargers defense, or Chargers offense rather. And so Chargers minus three, hammer the Chargers. 285 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,640 Ravens plus three and a half at the Bengals. Now I'm not picking the Ravens to win this 286 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,720 game. I am picking them to cover three and a half, but I'm thinking it's going to be 287 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:37,080 a field goal game. I think in the Bengals I'm going to win this game like 27, 24, 24, 288 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:45,880 21, 23, 20, somewhere in there. The Bengals are going to win this game very closely. I 289 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,000 just don't, I don't see the Ravens lose by more than four points. I just don't. It will 290 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:59,880 have to be 27, 23. Some weird shocking surprise for that to happen. But I've got the Cincinnati 291 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,680 Bengals winning the game. All right. But I have a Baltimore Ravens covering the three 292 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:09,720 and a half. So Baltimore plus three and a half over the Bengals. Commanders plus three 293 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:19,120 and a half over Denver. This is my lock. This is my lock. I don't understand this one sprint. 294 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:27,320 I mean, again, cross country travel is potentially at play here, but Denver looks flat out inept 295 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,360 against the Las Vegas Raiders and they're a less put together organization than the 296 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:40,080 Washington Commanders. And so I think that Denver struggles continue. I think the Airbnb 297 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:46,320 enemy gets a couple of big plays off and around Rivera maybe gets a turnover or two and the 298 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,720 route could be on for the command. I actually would pick the Commanders to win this game 299 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,360 outright on the money line if I was doing that sort of thing. And I am not just picking 300 00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:04,960 the point spread, but all kudos to the Commanders for going to be ready for this football game. 301 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,120 They're going to be coast well, they're going to be strategized well, they're going to be 302 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:12,000 fired up. Meanwhile, Denver is kind of still looking around like what happened to us. We 303 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,960 went in with a lot of anticipation, a lot of godliness, a lot of hype because Russell 304 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:24,000 Wilson was there, Sean Payton was there, and then they laid an egg against Las Vegas Raiders. 305 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,560 So that is going to be something to keep our eye on for sure. But it is my lock of the 306 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:34,920 week. Washington plus three and a half at Denver. And lastly, but certainly not least, 307 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,080 Browns minus two and a half at Pittsburgh. Did anyone see what Miles Gere was doing to 308 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:44,680 Cincinnati Bengals offensive line? Literally doing crossover moves before getting down 309 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,240 and sacking Joe Burrow. Pittsburgh is already going to be down a couple of players. Deontay 310 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,440 Johnson is going to be down Cam Hayward, which means they're going to be scrambling for larger 311 00:33:53,440 --> 00:34:00,600 bodies in the game. And that's what's going to take our advantage. If you are a Cleveland 312 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:05,400 Browns fan, you're going to have the advantage up front on both sides of the ball. And so 313 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,000 bikini picket not being in the world's most athletic quarterback. Also not necessarily 314 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,080 knowing what to do and pressure folding around him. This could be a potentially rough start 315 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:22,240 to Mike Tomlin's effort of non-losing seasons going 0 and 2, which means he has to go 9 316 00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:30,040 and 6 to secure a non-losing season. Possible, but it just makes it a lot harder to get done. 317 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:36,240 So run through these picks one more time. Bills minus nine and a half over the Raiders. 318 00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:42,360 Chargers minus three over the Titans. Ravens plus three and a half over the Bengals. Commanders 319 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:48,220 plus three and a half over Denver. Cleveland minus two and a half over Pittsburgh. Now 320 00:34:48,220 --> 00:35:13,000 up next, we're going to go to Jack's hot take, which is going to be take on USA basketball. 321 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:20,920 Welcome into the show. And now we're going to jump into our final segment, which is our 322 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:29,400 rebranded final segment, Jack's hot take. Now recently, and let me make sure I get this 323 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:36,000 correct. I don't want to do that. I don't want to be that person. I want to get information 324 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:45,480 together. Recently, as of one day ago, the news I reported to me and Sean Charani reported 325 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:52,240 that LeBron James was interested in committing to Team USA in 2024 for the Olympics. He was 326 00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:59,160 also leading a group that includes Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant in his group about 327 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:05,240 probably committing to play in 2024 for Team USA. Later, we learned that Draymond Green, 328 00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:09,840 Aaron Fox, Anthony Davis, Damien Lillard, Jason Tatum, Devin Booker, Kyrie Irvin, and 329 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:17,240 Bam Adebayo have also all been linked to wanting to commit to Team, thinking about strongly 330 00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:28,720 committing to Team USA for the 2024 Olympics. Where is, I know the world comes out the Olympics. 331 00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:32,280 I totally understand that. I totally get the world comes out the Olympics. Personally, 332 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:37,080 if I had a choice, I'd only play the Olympics too. But the fact that we went from Anthony 333 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:48,240 Edwards, Jaren Jackson Jr., Austin Reeves, Jaylen Brunson, to LeBron, Katie, Steph, A.D., 334 00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:53,680 Dange. If this team does come together, it has an argument for the greatest team ever 335 00:36:53,680 --> 00:37:00,560 assembled. It's just, it's one of those moments where it's like, wow, the full force of American 336 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:05,680 basketball could be barreling down on the world, in the world stage of the Olympics 337 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:14,160 in Paris. So, I mean, it frustrates me because, and my take is this, because I'll back up, 338 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:20,800 my take is this. The USA will win gold if that team comes together by a larger margin 339 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:28,160 of victory than the original Dream Team in 1992. That's an angry team. That's a team 340 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,920 where they say, we're going to shoot you out the gym, we're going to dunk on you, score 341 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:36,800 a pass, you lock you up. Like that's a team where they're going to blow out everybody. 342 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:42,560 It's one of those teams, it's a reminder team. Like, no, you have not caught up. You are 343 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:48,320 not in the same tier as us. That was our C players. Let's bring out the A guys and let's 344 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:55,880 play basketball. And so I just think that they're going to have such an advantage just talent 345 00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,680 wise. I mean, the 12th guy on the bench might be bam in a bio. I mean, he's going to start, 346 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,040 but I'm saying the 12th guy on the bench may end up being, I'm not saying Andy Davis 347 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:08,040 to blame, may end up being, Andy, Andy, Andy, make it on the team. He may be the 12th guy 348 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:13,560 on the bench and barely play. Like that's the level of talent that's coming in the 2024 349 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,920 Olympics. If those guys truly do commit and actually follow through on their commitment 350 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:24,160 and play for Team USA. But I think that, again, this team will blow out people by a bigger 351 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:31,680 margin of victory than the names you dreamt of. But that is all I have for you guys today. 352 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,680 Hope you guys enjoyed the rest of your week.
