coming out all over the place. 47 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,480 The last 24 hours have been kind of juicy in the news cycle. 48 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,480 We're going to have an NFL betting segment, Jax Pack, that we barely missed out on having an amazing week. 49 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,480 We still had a good week, but we barely missed out on having an amazing week. 50 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,480 We will have the WNBA as they're in their playoffs. 51 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,480 They're in the thick of their playoffs. 52 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,480 They're in their Final Four. 53 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,480 We will have Jax's hot take, which of course this week and we started last week. 54 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,480 We're going to continue that going, which would be the college football two minute drill. 55 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,480 But let's jump right into the NFL week four. 56 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,480 Talk about what's happening last week. 57 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,480 The Minnesota Vikings are real. 58 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,480 I said it in week two. 59 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,480 I said it in week three. 60 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,480 I'm saying it again in week four. 61 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,480 The Minnesota Vikings are real. 62 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,480 Sam Darnold is real. 63 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,480 This looks to be a positive situation. 64 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,480 Look, we know what the defense is going to represent with Brian Flores. 65 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,480 Every star Brian Flores has been in the NFL. 66 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,480 His defense has been spectacular, whether it's been a head coach or a defensive coordinator. 67 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,480 He has had a high level defense. 68 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,480 You give him guys who are smart, who are physical, and he is going to put together an amazing defense. 69 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,480 I mean, there's one play that I know they showed on Speak For Yourself, I think on FS1, 70 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,480 where Acho shows the pre-snap look. 71 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,480 He shows it to Lashon McCoy and he shows it to James Jones. 72 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,480 We're talking about Lashon McCoy, who in his pick of Philadelphia, like the NFL and rushing, 73 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,480 who shaded McCoy in one of the most dangerous backs over a 10-year span in the league. 74 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,480 James Jones was a very long time NFL receiver, very high level wide receiver, too. 75 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,480 Incredibly high level wide receiver, three. 76 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,480 Player, they both said cover zero man. 77 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:46,480 They said at best it turns into two high man, but then it turns into the thing. 78 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,480 Both said man coverage. 79 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,480 It morphed into a cover two with your safety at the bottom. 80 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,480 Like it was the most insane thing. 81 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,480 They both were going, holy crap. 82 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,480 Like that's what they were throwing at CJ Stroud. 83 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,480 And it's like, T.S. comes in line and he goes, okay, cool. 84 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,480 I see the safety at the bottom. 85 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,480 I see there's no safety in the middle. 86 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,480 It's got to be cover zero. 87 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,480 Worst comes to worst, it morphs to a one high man, but it's man concepts. 88 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,480 And I'm looking at my man beating routes on this play, and it turns into cover two with the safety at the bottom. 89 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,480 And it's like, I beg your pardon. 90 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,480 Like, I mean, so, you know, that is the level of gamesmanship. 91 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,480 Brian Flores is playing with the Minnesota Vikings and the offense looks great. 92 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,480 Sam Donnell looks great. 93 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,480 This is the best touch of football he's played in his NFL career easily. 94 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:43,480 This is the kind of football that you saw, that I saw and that others saw from him being able to play when he left USC. 95 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,480 The reason why he was drafted so high by the New York Jets. 96 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,480 Now, it's the Jets. 97 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,480 The Jets tend to mess that quarterback thing up, as they so often do. 98 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:04,480 The Jets and the Panthers tend to screw up quarterbacks, again, as they so often tend to do. 99 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,480 However, the Minnesota Vikings has, with Kevin O'Connell as their play caller, 100 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,480 they have really shown what Sam Donnell is capable of. 101 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,480 This is the Donnell's fourth team. 102 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:21,480 Now, if you guys remember correctly, people in San Francisco spoke very highly of Sam Donnell. 103 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,480 And I do mean very highly of Sam Donnell. 104 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:35,480 They spoke of him saying that, you know, pretty much one of the reasons why Trey Lance was ultimately moved was because you had Sam Donnell in the building. 105 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,480 He looked a lot like Brock Purdy. 106 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,480 He was smart. He threw a great deep ball. He was accurate. 107 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,480 You know what I'm saying? 108 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:49,480 And it was one of those things where, oh, that's why he was picked second or third in the NFL draft. 109 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,480 This is the player. It's not the player that we saw in New York. 110 00:06:53,480 --> 00:07:00,480 It's not the player that we saw, I can't think of his second stop right now, but it's not the player that we saw even in Carolina. 111 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,480 I mean, you saw it in spurts in Carolina, but it's not the player we saw in Carolina. 112 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,480 It's the player that we saw in Spurs in San Francisco, and it's the player we're seeing now in Minnesota. 113 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:18,480 You know, Sam Donnell right now is 69% completion percentage, 8.8 yards of completion. 114 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:24,480 He's throwing over 233 yards a game, modest numbers, 11 touchdowns, three picks. 115 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:30,480 And he has a passer rating of 118.9. 116 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:38,480 Now, 233 yards is in nothing. Here's a QBR. His QBR is third in the league at 73.5, with 50 being average. 117 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,480 Look, 233 yards a game, it's not lighting the league up. 118 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,480 But also you've got to understand passing yards is down. 119 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,480 Passing yards is way down in the league this year. 120 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,480 Passing touchdowns is way down in the league this year. 121 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:59,480 Mostly, I would attribute it to too high safety looks, because if you look at him right now, he's ninth in the league in passing yards. 122 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,480 He's first in the league in passing touchdowns. 123 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,480 As I said, he only thrown three picks, and he's third in the league in QBR. 124 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,480 So he's having one of the best five seasons in the league, if you look at the numbers. 125 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,480 They're also undefeated. He's keeping that defense out of trouble. 126 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,480 Now, he had a couple, he had a bad pick against the Packers that he can't have. 127 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,480 And that was one of those, ah, is this the Sam Donnell of old returning? 128 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,480 But he's looked great. Minnesota's rolling. 129 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,480 They said they didn't bring back, they didn't even look at Dalvin Cook again. 130 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,480 You know, they're rolling with who they got at running back. 131 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,480 The defense is playing spectacular, and Sam Donnell's being efficient, and he's being effective. 132 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,480 And if that's going to be the case, that's going to make J.J. McCarthy's life hard. 133 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:50,480 And this is projecting, oh God, 10 months into the future in terms of right now the Vikings are 4-0. 134 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,480 I think the Vikings are going to win that division. 135 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,480 I think the Vikings are going to win that division. I just don't. 136 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,480 The Bears are no threat right now. 137 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,480 Who's up team in that division? Oh, the Lions. 138 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,480 Okay, so the Vikings and the Lions, to me, are going to fight over that division. 139 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,480 I don't think, I think the Packers are going to finish in third. 140 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,480 I think that division is going to put three teams in. 141 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,480 There's going to be one team out of the NFC's. 142 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,480 Right now it's looking like the Commanders. I think it's going to be one team out of the NFC's. 143 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,480 I think the NFC West is going to put one team in as well, and it's looking like the Niners or the Seahawks. 144 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,480 So I think Niner and Seahawks is two spots. 145 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,480 The South is going to put in one. I think it's going to be the Saints. 146 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,480 The East is going to put in one. Right now, looking like the Commanders. 147 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,480 So those are four spots, and I think that the North puts in three. 148 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:38,480 I think the Packers, the Vikings, and the Lions make it. 149 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:45,480 And I think whoever ends up third team is battling the second place NFC East team for that spot. 150 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:51,480 Whether that is, like I said, either Washington or Dallas, I think gets in. 151 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,480 Rays from the division winner. 152 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,480 I think the other one is fighting the third NFC North team to get into the playoffs. 153 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,480 But I think the Vikings get in, and they're going to be hell to beat. 154 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,480 Once they get in because of that defense and because of how you fished and Sam Darnold's playing. 155 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,480 But let's just, let's just hypothesize. Let's just jump way out into the ether. 156 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,480 Let's make, you know, let's make a few assumptions here. 157 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,480 Let's just say Darnold keeps up 80% of his play. 158 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,480 So maybe not 13 QB, maybe he falls to seventh. 159 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,480 Maybe not first in touchdowns, he falls to fourth or fifth. 160 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,480 Maybe not, you know, 13 yards, he goes to seventh or eighth. 161 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,480 But he's a consensus based on the numbers this year, top eight quarterback. 162 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,480 What do you do with J.J. McCarthy? 163 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,480 And, you know, and they're, and the Vikings are 12 and five, you know, third. 164 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,480 They go 12 and five, they win the playoff game, they lose the second playoff game. 165 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,480 It's the NFC. 166 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,480 Let's say they either lose the second playoff game close or they get blown out of conference. 167 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:55,480 What do you do with J.J. But if they lose that playoff game, it's not because of Darnold. 168 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:06,480 He's, you know, 22 or 30 for 255, three touchdowns, one tip pick, QBR of like 74. 169 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,480 But you can clearly say it's not Darnold, the defense had a bad night in the office or something. 170 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,480 What do you do at quarterback? 171 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,480 Do you say open competition? 172 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,480 You drive to McCarthy ninth overall. 173 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,480 Darnold's cheap as hell. 174 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,480 So do you just say open competition, whoever gets it gets it. 175 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:30,480 But then if that's the case, let's say you do do that and you say McCarthy wins the job and he comes out and loses his first two games. 176 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Do you put Darnold back in there? 177 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,480 Do you trade Darnold in the offseason to not have issues? 178 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,480 I mean, McCarthy is the point where do you call a team and say, hey, McCarthy is really cheap. 179 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,480 We'll pay half the guarantees. 180 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,480 We'll ship them over to you all for an exchange for a third round pick. 181 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,480 We're just recouping some of the assets. 182 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,480 Like, what do you do if you are the Vikings? 183 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,480 Because Darnold right now is making J.J. McCarthy's pick look irrelevant. 184 00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:00,480 Now, what you could have gotten in number nine, you could have gotten several good players at number nine. 185 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:06,480 If you were the Minnesota Vikings last year, because let's say you skipped. 186 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:12,480 Let's say you decided to skip J.J. McCarthy at number nine. 187 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:18,480 And again, this is one of those situations where this is playing with hindsight. 188 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,480 And it's doing didn't matter. 189 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,480 You were going to go quarterback either way because you let her cousins go. 190 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,480 Right. So you were going to go quarterback. 191 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:31,480 There was no I'm sorry, 10th J.J. McCarthy because a doomsday went nice. 192 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,480 There's a left tackle from Penn State. 193 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,480 Who's not who you swap picks with. 194 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,480 Brock Bowers is there. You didn't have an elite tight end. 195 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,480 Brock Bowers is right there. You don't have a guy at tight end. 196 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,480 There's multiple and defensive guys are irrelevant. 197 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,480 But like Mims isn't playing for Cincinnati. 198 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:56,480 Fouaga is playing really well for New Orleans, so that could have helped on the offensive line. 199 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:03,480 But like I said, probably Brock Bowers would have been the pick if you didn't pick J.J. 200 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,480 McCarthy there, you picked Brock Bowers and his offense is even more explosive because 201 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,480 Brock Bowers is playing like a top three tight end league right now. 202 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,480 And so that would have been a situation there. 203 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,480 But I mean, so that's something that you look at as if you're the Vikings because of the way 204 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,480 Donald's playing very, very well. 205 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,480 But shout out to the Vikings. I'm going to keep my eye on you guys definitely for sure. 206 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,480 I was a Donald guy when he came out of school. 207 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,480 It may have taken four teams and you know to get it right. 208 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,480 But hey, if he got it right, he got it right. 209 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,480 So let's see how this goes. 210 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,480 But speaking of another high draft pick that I love coming out of school, 211 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,480 Jaden Daniels and the Washington Commanders. 212 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,480 And we spoke about them in our last thing about how they're playing really, really good football right now. 213 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:53,480 The three and one, they're playing really good football and Daniels right now has led more scoring drives than he has in completions. 214 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,480 The Commanders have scored on 23 drives this season. 215 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,480 Jaden Daniels has 19 incompletions this season. 216 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,480 Through the first four games of the year, he has an 82.1% completion percentage. 217 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:11,480 That's the highest by several percentage points in NFL history through the first four games of any season, 218 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:23,480 not just the rookie season of any season. We're talking he beats 07 Brady's efficiency mark coming out of the gate in his first four games of his career. 219 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,480 The Washington Commanders often scored 42 points last week. 220 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,480 It's the first time he's scored 40 points in multiple seasons. 221 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:35,480 I mean, this is what this was the dream that many people in Chicago had for Caleb Williams. 222 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,480 Maybe not the efficiency because Daniels thing was the efficiency, Caleb Williams thing was playmaking. 223 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,480 And his thing of just making plays and scrambling around and being awesome. 224 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,480 This is what many people in Chicago wanted to see out of Caleb Williams. 225 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:53,480 I thought you would see out of Jaden Daniels pretty early and that's what you're seeing. 226 00:14:53,480 --> 00:15:03,480 And I spoke about it in the pre-drive process and my co-host on the YouTube show, my co-host on the YouTube show, Jai, was speaking about it. 227 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:13,480 And his whole thing was Daniels has one of the highest floors, but his ceiling isn't all that through the roof. 228 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,480 You know, we both said Caleb Williams had the highest ceiling on the lowest floor. 229 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:23,480 Either he could be the best quarterback in the league and challenge Mahomes or he could be out of the league in three years kind of thing. 230 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:31,480 And we took Daniels with a higher floor, Bowen Nicks having the highest floor, Bowen Nicks having the lowest ceiling, lowest floor probably, one of the lower floors. 231 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,480 But Daniels wasn't going to be bad. 232 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,480 Now whether he was great was a whole different conversation, but he was never going to be bad. 233 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:46,480 If he ended up as the 15th best quarterback in the league, one of those guys you think of, man if we have an off year and could get a top quarterback in the draft, great. 234 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,480 We'll replace him, but we're never going to get drafted out the middle of the round. 235 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,480 We're never going to get a guy out of agency because he's better than those guys. 236 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,480 But right now Daniels looks like the best quarterback in the division. 237 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:05,480 Now Daniels is given as the worst, but right, but Hertz is making $250 million, Dac is making $260 million, $240 million, something like that. 238 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,480 Jayden Daniels looks like the best quarterback in the division. 239 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,480 He's easily the most efficient, right? 240 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,480 He's easily the most efficient quarterback in the division. 241 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,480 He is the most athletic quarterback in the division. 242 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,480 He throws the best deep ball in the division. 243 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:23,480 And let's be honest, he has to do what he's doing because he doesn't have that great of a defense. 244 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,480 The Washington commander's defense is awful. Now they played well against the Arizona Cardinals, so I don't know what happened with the Cardinals there. 245 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,480 But the commander's defense historically has been awful. 246 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,480 But they have Dan Quinn as the head coach. 247 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,480 So, and I kind of like how they're set up. 248 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,480 Now I spoke about Kingsbury, I've talked about it previously, how he always tends to fail up. 249 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:47,480 Where, you know, he gets effectively fired at Texas Tech, or he gets fired at Texas Tech, lands as a USCOC. 250 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,480 And then before he gets effectively firing there, he lands the Arizona head coaching job. 251 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,480 And he gets fired from Arizona, has tons of immediate offense coordinator offerings in the league. 252 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,480 Then goes to like Thailand or something, goes no contact. 253 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,480 And then comes back and he lands as the Washington commander's OC under Dan Quinn. 254 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,480 Which effectively means he's the head coach of the offense because Dan Quinn is going to head coach the defense. 255 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,480 So you've got Dan Quinn head coaching the defense. 256 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,480 That unit's looking better. 257 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,480 You've got Cliff Kingsbury head coach in the offense. 258 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,480 That unit's looking better. 259 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,480 You have a lot of the frustrations you saw early from a Terry McLaurin. 260 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,480 You're not seeing that right now. 261 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,480 He's smiling, they're smiling, everybody's laughing and having a great time. 262 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,480 Daniels is cheesing from ear to ear. 263 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,480 Now I will caution commander's fans on this. 264 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,480 And even me as a J and Daniels supporter, I'm going to caution myself on this. 265 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,480 Cliff Kingsbury has a history of this. 266 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,480 He has a history of the first month to two months of a season. 267 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,480 First month to a month and a half of a season. 268 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,480 His offense is blazing. 269 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,480 They're tearing people apart left and right. 270 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,480 They can't be guarded. 271 00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:02,480 If you play a game with them and you're holding the 26 points, you're like, huh, man, we got a great game defensively. 272 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,480 And then that second half of the year, it starts to get a little cold. 273 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,480 And he doesn't adjust well. 274 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,480 So people are adjusting to him. 275 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,480 And so the offensive numbers drop off. 276 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:21,480 You saw that every year in Arizona, they would blaze out of the gate and then they fall off a map. 277 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,480 And then you saw like with Texas Tech, they would hit people 50 and 60 and 70 points. 278 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,480 And then when those conference opponents get a look at them, they fall off a map. 279 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,480 You saw the USC fell off a map. 280 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:39,480 So it's not abnormal for Cliff Kingsbury teams to run out of the gate offensively. 281 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,480 It is also not abnormal for them to fall off a map. 282 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:53,480 So that is what they're going to have to caution against is just like I said, going off the deep end once defenses began to adjust a little bit to them. 283 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,480 The Kansas City Chiefs continue to find ways to survive. 284 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,480 I don't know how long it's going to last. 285 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:05,480 You've got Rashid Rice out with what talk about him, but he's out with a knee injury. 286 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:10,480 You've got Hollywood Brown out for the year with a knee or out for the regular season with a shoulder. 287 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,480 Travis Kelsey before last game was like he was on the wrong side of the retirement home. 288 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,480 You have a spectacularly good defense. 289 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,480 That defense was good in young last year. 290 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,480 Now they've all developed a year older. 291 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,480 They're just as good. 292 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,480 They might even be a little better. 293 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,480 You have a running back room with no Isaiah Pacheco, no Clyde Edwards, no Leir. 294 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,480 It's a bunch of fill in guys. 295 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,480 You're tight in the room behind Travis Kelsey. 296 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,480 Your pass catcher room in general is not one that instills a ton of fear and anxiety. 297 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:47,480 And so the face of coordinators because the best one in the room at this point might be Juju Smith Schuster after Travis Kelsey. 298 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:53,480 Like they're not instilling a bunch of fear into you from a skill position room. 299 00:19:53,480 --> 00:20:01,480 Like I said, besides Travis Kelsey and before that game against the Chargers, he looked like he was on the wrong side of the retirement home. 300 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:07,480 But despite all that, the four and a and they're still favorite in the Super Bowl. 301 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:15,480 And this is significant because they haven't played their A game or even their B game. 302 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:22,480 Some may argue not even their C game all season and their four and oh, including a division win on the road at the Chargers. 303 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:28,480 Who, yes, Herbert was on one ankle, but Jim Hobbob has that looking like a different Chargers team. 304 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,480 And they went in there and beat them. 305 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:38,480 So, you know, despite all that, they're still one of the they're still the Vegas favorite to win the Super Bowl and it complete that three. 306 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,480 Pete, they are still a force that nobody wants to see coming into their building. 307 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,480 They are still one of the top teams in the NFL. 308 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,480 And like I said, they haven't even played what most would consider a C game by them. 309 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,480 They continue to survive. Now, at a certain point, and this is why three beats are hard. 310 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:03,480 You got that with the Aces in the WNBA segment. But at a certain point, extended seasons catch up with you. 311 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,480 That's what made LeBron's run through the East so marvelous. 312 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,480 He went to the finals nine straight times. 313 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:18,480 So every year for nine straight years, his season didn't end until you were in June. 314 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:26,480 If he decided to play an international play his season, he would say he would just basically take a week off and then start shooting the international ball. 315 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,480 Play through the summer and then take a week off. 316 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,480 And then 45 days later, he's back on the NBA court for game one. 317 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,480 And he did this for nine consecutive years or ten consecutive years, something like that. 318 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:45,480 And it's just like at a certain point, the lack of an offseason, the lack of real rest, the lack of whatever, 319 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:52,480 the increase in mileage and intensity and so on and so forth, eventually that catches up with you. 320 00:21:52,480 --> 00:22:00,480 And that's what's going on with the Chiefs. So you have these seasons where you're playing it to February every single year. 321 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,480 Well, like many camps were starting like March or April. 322 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:09,480 So how much are you really working before that first like spring camp? 323 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,480 Like, you know what I'm saying? Like right after the draft, there's like the intro camp. 324 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:18,480 So how much are you working two and a half months later off a football ring? 325 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,480 Like how hard are you really going and how often are you doing it? When did you start doing it? 326 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:29,480 So these are all, you know, these are all things that factor into the fact that it's hard to repeat to win championships. 327 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:39,480 Also, you lose players, you lose staff members, you lose your position of one of two, the best team in the league. 328 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,480 And everybody's looking at you and how to beat you. 329 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:48,480 And everybody's figuring out kind of putting their heads together like, man, how do we dethrone the Chiefs? 330 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,480 Because they're the back to back football champion. 331 00:22:51,480 --> 00:23:00,480 How do we remove them out of their comfort zone and into a space where they are vulnerable? 332 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:07,480 So that is something that people are trying to figure out. And as of now, they have not cracked it. 333 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:16,480 The Baltimore Ravens absolutely rolled this past week over the Buffalo Bills, shot out the Ravens. 334 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:22,480 That was one of those wins that it's like, all right, I've not been the big proponent of Derek Henry signing in. 335 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:29,480 To be honest, I'm still not. However, that was a game where it's like, OK, I get it, right? 336 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,480 Like first play, he slips through a hole 87 yards, the longest rush in Baltimore history. 337 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:40,480 He's hitting his head off the goalpost. And it's OK. That is where like the average player can't do that. 338 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,480 Right. Like, but that was a game where Derek Henry was important. 339 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,480 But and I still stand by the fact that it wasn't that fruitful. 340 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:57,480 But that game against the Bills was a game that if you wanted to point to Derek Henry being a great signing, you point to that game. 341 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,480 And so it was absolutely rolling on the ground. 342 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,480 Henry is finishing with one ninety nine on 20 some odd carries. 343 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,480 He was physical. He was dominant. He was stiff on him. He was running over. 344 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,480 He was running by the Buffalo Bills defense. 345 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,480 At one point, I got to, you know, correctly tackle him in the leg and hurt himself. 346 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:23,480 Like, Derek Henry is a freak of nature. He's an absolute monster. 347 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,480 They are figuring out what schemes he like and how often he hit the ball. 348 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:34,480 So that can make defense even more in pain trying to deal with him. 349 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,480 But congratulations to the Ravens. 350 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,480 Like I said, it was 0 and 2. Panic was ensuing. 351 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,480 People were considering, you know, how would Bill Belichick look coaching this team. 352 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:51,480 And now they have improved the 2 and 2. And look, we'll talk about their next week game, actually, in our next segment. 353 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,480 And then lastly, shout out to the Detroit Lions for having an offensive explosion. 354 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,480 Shout out to the Detroit Lions for having an offense. 355 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,480 Shout out to the Detroit Lions for not being the Bums anymore. 356 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,480 Shout out to the Detroit Lions for honestly just not stinking. 357 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:11,480 But kudos to them. They ran the ball at will for a majority of this game. 358 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,480 They were physical. They were dominant. 359 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:18,480 I mean, it was, you know, it was parts of the game, especially early, where they were like, man, we're just going to run the ball. 360 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,480 We're going to run the ball all the way down the field and we're going to punch it in on the ground. 361 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,480 And then we're going to dare you to come up. 362 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:30,480 You're in a bad, bad spot for people who can't play football, which the Detroit Lions can. 363 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,480 But up next, we're going to shift into NFL Week 5. 364 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:58,480 Welcome back into the show. 365 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:04,480 That was a long A block. Is this is just me? Was it just me? Was that a really long A block? 366 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,480 I wasn't anticipating that long of an A block. 367 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,480 We won't. That'd probably be our longest block of the show. 368 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,480 But we're going to get into NFL Week 5 in the B block. 369 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:20,480 We're going to start off with the biggest news that has broken over the past 24 to 48 hours. 370 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,480 Devontae Adams has had enough. He wants out of Vegas. 371 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,480 All right. So let's talk about it here. 372 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:36,480 Devontae Adams has had a tumultuous five years in the NFL. For a reason, look, we had longer than Roger's been going from the Packers. 373 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,480 Three years. This is year two with the Jets. He played a year without Devontae. 374 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:47,480 So the past three years has been incredibly interesting in Devontae Adams career. Four off seasons, really. 375 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:55,480 He goes into the Packers. He's with the Packers. He goes, hey, I'm worth this. The Packers goes, no, not really. 376 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,480 So there's a big contract dispute with the Grand Bay. 377 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:05,480 Ultimately, according to Devontae, he said he was willing to play it out and renegotiate the next year or go to a franchise or whatever. 378 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:14,480 He wasn't trying to put on a franchise side. He ends up basically the Packers say, OK, if you can go get that contract, we'll help you get to the team. 379 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:20,480 You know how certain teams do it. We don't believe that money's out there. You can go find it. We'll help you. 380 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,480 He goes and finds it in Vegas. Vegas conveniently also has Derek Carr. 381 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:31,480 Derek Carr was Devontae Adams college quarterback at Fresno State. 382 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,480 So this is looking like a match for Devontae Adams and his head. OK, it's perfect. 383 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,480 I go get my money. I go to Vegas. He spoke about it with Shannon Sharp. 384 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:48,480 You know, his daughter is now not looking at her playset in like November because it's too cold to go outside or like late October. 385 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,480 You know, November is too cold to go outside in Green Bay for a little free time for a little child. 386 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:59,480 So she's looking at her playset going like, dang, like, you know, I'm saying, like, I can't even do nothing. 387 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,480 He says it's a saddest. It's one of the saddest photos in his life. 388 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,480 You know, that's not a thing anymore in Vegas. 389 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,480 You know, it gets cold in Vegas. Sure. 390 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:14,480 But it's not Green Bay, frozen Tundra, like 10 degrees cold. 391 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,480 It's like, oh, you want to go outside for a little while. It's bundle up really, really tight. 392 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,480 You got like 30 minutes and get you back inside kind of thing. 393 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:28,480 And then that's only probably for a few months out the year at nighttime. 394 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,480 Because I went to Vegas in December. 395 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,480 I went to Vegas in December. Christmas lights are out during the daytime. 396 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,480 It's 65 degrees, the wind blowing 70 degrees with the wind blowing at night. 397 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,480 You got to use the desert. So at night he gets to your 40s. 398 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,480 And it's really, really cold because the desert and there's nothing out there. 399 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:50,480 But in the daytime, it's, you know, people walk around in, you know, shorts. 400 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,480 I was in shorts. I was in sweatpants and a T-shirt. 401 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,480 And like, you know, another daytime in December. 402 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:02,480 So, you know, he doesn't have the problem with his kid not being able, his children not being able to play outside. 403 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,480 He's with his college quarterback. He's in a warm environment. 404 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,480 And he's gotten his money and the Raiders at that time were on the upswing. 405 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,480 Then the Raiders fall off the map, their car is gone. 406 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:19,480 OK, so now every benefit besides the money and the family lifestyle that he wanted is now gone. 407 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:26,480 It's over with. OK, so he said, OK, I'm going to stick it out. 408 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:34,480 Basically, I like I like Antonio Piers. I like, you know, I like Antonio Piers. 409 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,480 I like kind of what they're doing organizationally. 410 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,480 I don't like the lead the Derek Carr situation, but I get it. 411 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,480 OK, it is what it is. I'll stick it out. 412 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,480 It was a crap show last year for him towards the end of the year. 413 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,480 They kind of figured out the they had to start the playoffs late, but ultimately don't make it cool. Cool. 414 00:29:54,480 --> 00:30:03,480 All right. So you this time you get Antonio Piers the full off season. 415 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,480 You make no move at quarterback, which is frustrating for him. 416 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,480 You don't really make a move to help him out at any point. 417 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,480 And he's staring at his contract going the guarantee money is almost out. 418 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,480 We've got to figure something out. None of these things were moved on. 419 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:25,480 Get into this season. It starts off speculation when he moved in the off season. 420 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,480 He says, no, I'm not going anywhere. He says I'm not going anywhere. 421 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,480 So on and so forth. OK, so now he is in the year. 422 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,480 The frustration is visible. 423 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:40,480 The only time he was smiling was when they beat the Ravens like Devontae Adams wants to win. 424 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,480 His money is there. His lifestyle is there. 425 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:49,480 That's fine. He wants to win games or at least be with the quarterback. 426 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,480 He tries to get the ball and I get him killed. 427 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,480 Remember on the receiver show on Netflix, he was like, man, they don't kill me. 428 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,480 Like they throw me these hospital balls as I call them. 429 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,480 I call them hospital balls. They're throwing me these dangerous balls like they're going to kill me. 430 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,480 I'm already beat up and they keep throwing me into these routes like they're going to kill me. 431 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:12,480 And so that's what he's looking at. 432 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,480 So Devontae Adams finally said, I'm out. Get me out of here. I want out. 433 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:23,480 And the two teams that shot to the top of the list were the New Orleans Saints and the New York Jets. 434 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:28,480 One has his old college quarterback. One has his longtime pro quarterback. 435 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,480 Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, they could use another weapon. 436 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,480 Just being honest, Jerry Wilson and who? 437 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,480 Exactly. It gets very Alan Lazardi really fast. 438 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,480 No disrespect to Alan Lazardi, but you're not on that level. 439 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:48,480 It gets real Alan Lazardi real fast. 440 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,480 The New Orleans Saints. 441 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,480 You have Clay Kubiak, who's a very smart offensive coordinator. 442 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,480 You have Derek Carr, who's a quarterback he trusts. 443 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,480 You have Alvin Kamara. 444 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,480 You have a warm environment still in New Orleans. 445 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:13,480 So if you want to buy the children the playset, you have a warm environment still in New Orleans. 446 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:18,480 And you have a very, very vulnerable division and you have a great defense supporting you. 447 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,480 I mean, the Saints last week didn't allow an offense touchdown against the Falcons. 448 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,480 They lost the game, but they have a great defense supporting them. 449 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,480 They have a great fan base. 450 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:33,480 They are still in a warm environment. You have a quarterback you're familiar with. 451 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,480 And I talked about the Jets, that once you get past the number one receiver, 452 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:46,480 once you get past Chris Alave, ironically from the same school as Gary Wilson Ohio State, 453 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:52,480 it gets very Rashid Shahidi. No disrespect to Rashid Shahid. 454 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:58,480 But you're not Devontae Adams, you're not Chris Alave, you're not Gary Wilson, you're very Alan Lazardi. 455 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,480 Like, it is what it is, right? 456 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:07,480 So let's just say, and you know, okay, I won't go that far, but he wants out. He's asking out. 457 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:13,480 Devontae Adams, in a situation, if he goes to the Jets, 458 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:18,480 let's just say, because the price has been reportedly a second round pick plus more. 459 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,480 So I think a second and a fifth, you probably get Devontae Adams, 460 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,480 or a second and a fifth, maybe a wide receiver, four, you get Devontae Adams. 461 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,480 Let's just say, you do, if you're the Jets, you make the move, you get Devontae Adams, 462 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,480 you drop Devontae Adams into New York City. 463 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,480 He's back with Aaron Rodgers, a quarterback that he said he was openly about. 464 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,480 I don't have to get back to Aaron. 465 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:44,480 I would be open to playing with Aaron again. He said it. 466 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,480 He gets back to Aaron. Now, on one side of the field is Devontae Adams, 467 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,480 on the other side of the field is Gary Wilson. 468 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,480 If I'm a defensive coordinator, I don't know who I roll to. 469 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,480 Do I put the number one corner on Devontae and roll to Gary Wilson? 470 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:01,480 It's probably the answer, but in that case, now it's one on one with Devontae Adams and Aaron Rodgers. 471 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:07,480 That killed people for years. It didn't matter who the corner was. 472 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:12,480 And if you're the Jets, now it backs people off. You can run the ball more. 473 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,480 You see what I'm saying? You can't hurry up and just say, 474 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:20,480 okay, I'm going to send hell at everybody. Rodgers gets the blitz with Devontae Adams and Gary Wilson. 475 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,480 Yeah, good luck. 476 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,480 So that's a situation that I could open up your offense a little bit more, 477 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,480 give Nathaniel Hackett, Jesus Nathaniel Hackett, give him a little bit, give him, excuse me, 478 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,480 some more options in the passing game. Also that play action now, 479 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,480 you got to make choices because now a Breeze Hall coming, if he's got space to operate, 480 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:43,480 now Breeze Hall is now instead of seeing a seven man box, he's might see a six man box at times, 481 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:49,480 space style boxes because you have the close off these passing lanes for Devontae and Gary Wilson. 482 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,480 So definitely a move there that could be made. If you're the New Orleans Saints, 483 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,480 this is a big move for you as well. So he spoke about how we talked about earlier, 484 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:04,480 the Saints scoring 45 points a game that has come down. Um, their cars come a little bit down the earth. 485 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:11,480 They put up, I think 10 against the Eagles and then they gave you 23, 486 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:17,480 I think it's the Falcons or something like that. 20, 24 against the Falcons. Um, 487 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:23,480 you went from 45 a night to 17 a night. That's a 20, that's a four touchdown difference. 488 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:28,480 So clearly something has changed here. They're figuring some stuff out. 489 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:34,480 Okay. Devontae Adams is your other receiver. It's Devontae on one side. It's Gary Wilson on the other side. 490 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:41,480 Of course, Alavi, I'm sorry, on the other side. Raheed Shaheed is now your third receiver. 491 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,480 Alma Camaras in the backfield, Tayson Hilser, you're totally the guy. 492 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,480 Okay. Now you've got real offensive personnel here. And you're also, like I said, 493 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,480 you're also dealing with the fact that you have a good defense in New Orleans as well, 494 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,480 that they will be able to support you at any and all times. 495 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,480 So that may be a situation that I, if I'm Devontae Adams, I may be looking at New Orleans. 496 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:06,480 I have a warm environment still. I have a smart office coordinator in Clint Kubiak. 497 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:12,480 I have a quarterback I love in Derek Carr. I have a legit option guy across from me in Chris Alavi. 498 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,480 I have a damn good running back in the backfield and Alma Camara. 499 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:20,480 And on top of that, I have a system towards offense for dummies. 500 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,480 I know for a fact I'm going to get 12 targets, not I'm going to be catches. 501 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:30,480 If I'm feeling good, 11 catches. But I'm going to get anywhere from 10 to 13 targets. 502 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:36,480 I'm having from 7 to 11 catches, anywhere from 75 to 110 yards on a touchdown. 503 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:41,480 Like that's, I know that's my night. And I know we're going to be in this game in the fourth quarter 504 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,480 with three minutes left either having the ball up or having the ball closely down. 505 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,480 And that's all I can ask for. And I'm going to win my division to play a playoff game. 506 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,480 Like that's, you know, that's what's in front of him. 507 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:59,480 And if I'm Devontae Adams going to New Orleans, I don't see many other situations being beneficial. 508 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,480 There's no way on God greener to be the chief. I'm the Raiders. 509 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,480 I'm not going to send him to the chiefs. He can torch me twice. He'll patch up my homes. 510 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,480 I'm good, right? He's not going to the chiefs. He's not going to the Chargers. 511 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,480 Now you're going to touch me with Justin Herbert. I'm all right. 512 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:18,480 Baltimore, maybe easy. I'm going to block 30 times, 35 times a game. 513 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,480 That's a different conversation. Plus that puts you back into the cold weather. 514 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:26,480 And that puts you in a scenario where you're not the focal point, the focal points, the quarterback, 515 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,480 the second focal points, the running back. Is that a choice for you? 516 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,480 The bills, that's really, really cold weather. 517 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,480 But that's an environment where you have you have a quarterback and Josh Allen who would love you. 518 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,480 The problem is they don't have the money to pay you. 519 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:51,480 And so as I said, New Orleans is looking like the spot here to kind of check off as many boxes as possible for Devontae Adams. 520 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaking of those jets, I'm going to hit them quickly because we talk about the jets a lot here. 521 00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,480 Aaron Rodgers and Robert Sala. It's clear that there's a power struggle. 522 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:06,480 Sala, obviously, is his fourth year as the coach there. I thought it would get better. It hasn't. 523 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:18,480 Now you get Rodgers in there who he's willing to capitulate and to not bend the knee, but step aside for Robert Sala when he's injured and can't play. 524 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:27,480 But now that Rodgers is there, he's the quarterback, he's healthy. It's his show, especially on offense. 525 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:38,480 It's going to be hard for him now to even consider stepping aside as far as authority and figure and power. 526 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:46,480 The Orange Show will be hard to bend the knee. He's battling with Sala. Sala will say one thing. 527 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,480 Rodgers say something. Sala starts walking back. 528 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:56,480 Whatever comment he said to kind of match what Rodgers is saying, it's just it's a mess in New York. 529 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:02,480 Not surprising. It's New York, but it's an absolute mess there right now. 530 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:10,480 What's going on? They're not winning games. They just lost to a quarterback who at halftime had negative passing yards. 531 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:17,480 That's a problem. And what makes it more of a problem is Sala's defense. 532 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:27,480 Sala's defense is holding up. It's the offense led by Hackett and Rodgers. 533 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:33,480 So that's a problem in the building. It's a lot going on in New York. 534 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:40,480 And it was why I would say Devontae Adams might not want to take his talents to East Rutherford, New Jersey at one Jets place. 535 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:52,480 It may not be the best scenario. You still have the Hassan Reddick situation that he's at this point punting his season in an effort to get his money. 536 00:39:52,480 --> 00:40:00,480 He's got to get a contract, but I think he has to play so many games for it to vest. 537 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,480 To have a vest that he has to be an arm and rise to so many games for it to even count to his agency. 538 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:10,480 Otherwise, he just does this whole dance with New York again next season. You still got that in the building in New York. 539 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:18,480 It's a lot of issues going on in New York. So maybe not the best place for Devontae Adams to land. 540 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:31,480 Rashid Rice of the Kansas City Chiefs. They have not given us an update, which could be a good thing. Could be a bad thing. 541 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:42,480 For one, people were saying that it's a positive because if it was an ACL, that would be known early. 542 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:54,480 They would be already discussing his ACL injury. And that would be that, right? 543 00:40:54,480 --> 00:41:04,480 An ACL injury would be known and it wouldn't even be a lot of discussion about it. It would just be an ACL injury as known. 544 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:12,480 And so he'd be out for the season already. But the fact that they haven't ruled him out could still be an ACL. 545 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:21,480 But it could be some other things. Trying to get as much imaging as possible to try and get a full and complete picture regarding Rashid Rice's injury. 546 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,480 And then some quick hitter news before we jump into the games of this week. 547 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:31,480 Demarcus Lawrence has been officially placed on injury reserve. He is out for at least four games. 548 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:37,480 The old man just won't quit. Jason Peters is back. He signed to the Seattle Seahawks practice squad. 549 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:43,480 He is trying to play in his 21st NFL season at age 42 at tackle. 550 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:51,480 David Andrews of the New England Patriots will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. Brutal for the Patriots. 551 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:56,480 Brutal for the Patriots locker room and the offensive line that hasn't been great to begin with. It's going to get a lot worse. 552 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:05,480 And Brandon Cooks has suffered a right knee infection following an operation he had in New York after the win against the Giants. 553 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:11,480 He is out for this week with the potential that he misses several weeks in the not so distant future. 554 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,480 Alright, but let's jump into these games. Let's go. 555 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:20,480 Alright, so Thursday night preview. Bucks at Atlanta. I won't spend a ton on any of these games. 556 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:25,480 We'll discuss some of these games a little bit further in Jack's Pack. 557 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:30,480 And actually I'm skimming my notes. None of these games are in Jack's Pack. 558 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,480 So I take back everything I just said. We're going to spend a couple minutes. 559 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:39,480 We're going to spend about 90 seconds on each of these games. Kind of give you how I'm feeling about the side and what this game looks like. 560 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:44,480 Alright, so again, back to Thursday night preview. We're going to have Bucks at Atlanta. 561 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:52,480 In this game, I am taking the Atlanta Falcons. When there's a Thursday night game, I tend to lean towards the home team. 562 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,480 Unless the home team is way worse than the real team. Like when it was Jets-Patriots, the Jets were the better team. 563 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:06,480 So unless the real team is just considerably better, I will always lean on short rest games to the home team. 564 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:13,480 Now, Atlanta didn't have the world's best game. The Bucks were rolling. But the teams are close. 565 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,480 I think you look at quarterback, Cousins and Mayfield, the way they're playing this year. 566 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,480 If you want to lean Baker-Mayfield, I wouldn't be upset. But to me, they're pretty close. 567 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:30,480 The head coaching battle is pretty close. You look at skill positions. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Drake, London, B.J.R. Robertson, Kyle Pitts. 568 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,480 That's pretty close. You look at the defensive personnel. You know what I'm saying? 569 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,480 So these are two close teams. These are two very similar ownership styles. 570 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:44,480 These are two very similar head coaches in terms of their ability and their level on the head coaching ranks. 571 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:49,480 So because of the short rest and the home field, I'm leaning Atlanta in this game. 572 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,480 Although I do expect it to be a pretty good game. 573 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:59,480 Jets versus Vikings. It's in London. The London games are always weird. 574 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,480 If this was a game in Minnesota, I would have hammered the Vikings here. 575 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:09,480 But because the game is in London, the London games are always weird. They're never normal. 576 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,480 Like stuff we've never seen tends to happen in the London games. 577 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:18,480 In the international series in general, it's a different time zone. It's a weird start time for your body. 578 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:25,480 It'll be 8.30 local time. It'll be 8.30 American time. It's a weird start time for your body. 579 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:32,480 It's weird shadows and Wembley. It's just weird. It's not normal football. 580 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:38,480 It's not normal football environment. So I kind of always give credence to the London game as being a weird one. 581 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,480 Although I do expect the Vikings to be the team that wins. 582 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,480 Because what is one thing people always say travels? Defense. 583 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,480 And the Vikings have one of the hottest, most creative defenses in the league right now. 584 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:55,480 Like I said, led by Brian Flores and what he's doing schematically. It always travels. 585 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,480 I'm going to lean Vikings here to take this W. 586 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,480 I think it'll be closer in the fourth quarter and then kind of space out. 587 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,480 I think the Vikings may do a dagger drive with four minutes left kind of thing. 588 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,480 But I do expect this game to be a good game in London. 589 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:17,480 Ravens at Bengals. This is a game of desperation for the Bengals. 590 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,480 But it's also a game of opportunity. So remember we spoke about this division? 591 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,480 I said Pittsburgh's 3-0. But who cares about Pittsburgh, right? 592 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:31,480 We know they're a 9-1 team at best. Even with a 3-0 start, they're a 9-1 team. 593 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:36,480 So I kept saying, if Cleveland gets their act together, or Cincinnati strings three or four games together, 594 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,480 you could be technically one game behind or so in the division. 595 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:49,480 But being in the driver's seat, in the catbird seat, into being the division winner and winning this division. 596 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,480 Cincinnati has an opportunity this week. 597 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:57,480 Because I'm not sure who Pittsburgh plays. Oh no, Pittsburgh plays the Cowboys. 598 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:02,480 And we'll talk about that game in Jack's Pack. Pittsburgh plays the Cowboys. 599 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,480 So the Cowboys beat Pittsburgh. Now the Pittsburgh's deal is a 3-2. 600 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,480 The Bengals turn around and beat the Ravens. Now they're both 2-3. 601 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,480 And you're only one game behind the team with Justin Fields at quarterback. 602 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,480 And you're a division and the whole season is in front of you. 603 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:24,480 And it's awful as you started, as rough as it was early. Me, people, me. 604 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,480 Calling for Zach Taylor's job. All of it. 605 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,480 You currently are up on the Ravens because you're on the tiebreaker. 606 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,480 And the only team in front of you is Justin Fields and the Pittsburgh Steelers. 607 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:41,480 And all is right in the world. Everything is in front of you with 12 games left. 608 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:46,480 I mean, that is what the Bengals are facing. That's what the Bengals have to work for. 609 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,480 If you're the Ravens, this is even more of a critical game. 610 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,480 Because you could be 3-2 with Pittsburgh playing the Cowboys. 611 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,480 And be tied for first after an 0-2 start. 612 00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:02,480 And do the common opponents actually technically be in first place. 613 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:12,480 This is huge. This is the biggest game standing wise in the NFL this week. 614 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,480 Because it directly affects an entire division. 615 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,480 Cleveland is a joke. So it directly affects the entire division. 616 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:23,480 You could either be Cincinnati, one game behind Pittsburgh going, what's up. 617 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,480 Or Ravens tied with Pittsburgh after this week. Huge game. 618 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:32,480 There's more desperation than to me on the Bengals side. And it's in Cincinnati. 619 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,480 I've got the Bengals. 620 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,480 Bills at Texans. This is a game of elites. 621 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,480 So when I talk about those games, you're trying to figure out a way to be. 622 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:46,480 I think this is a game, a playoff preview level game. 623 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,480 The Texans are going to win the AFC South. 624 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,480 The Jaguars haven't won a football game. 625 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,480 The Colts have Anthony Richardson at quarterback. 626 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,480 And who else in the AFC South? 627 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,480 Colts, Jags, oh Titans. 628 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,480 Tavuil Levis. 629 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,480 Alright, so I think the Texans are going to win a game and hide with this division. 630 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,480 The Bills get a lot of breaks in their division as well. 631 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,480 The Jets are the Jets. The Patriots are bad. 632 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:19,480 The Dolphins don't have two. And without two, Mike Medeiros is the one to win one game as head coach. 633 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,480 So the Bills, these are two teams that are going to run away and hide with their divisions. 634 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,480 Probably clinch their divisions by week 13 or 14. 635 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,480 You know, so let's just Jets make it interesting. 636 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:34,480 But by week 13, 14, no later than week 15, both of these teams should have their division spots locked up. 637 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,480 And at that point they'll be fighting for seating. 638 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,480 So this is a big game, relevant seating. 639 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,480 This could be a second round playoff game. 640 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,480 In which case one of them has to go to the other. 641 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,480 So this is a huge game. 642 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,480 Like I said, Bills had Texans. Two teams, Texans. 643 00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,480 You kind of got smacked a little bit, but then you bounced back. 644 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,480 Bills, you just rolled. 645 00:48:54,480 --> 00:49:03,480 So now you're looking at two teams that are dealing with pressure. 646 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,480 It's going to be a pressure game on both sides. 647 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,480 You got two MVP candidate quarterback. 648 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,480 And he said, we just saw what the Bills did. 649 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,480 What Josh Allen did was spectacular. 650 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,480 I said, you got two MVP level quarterbacks. 651 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,480 And they're coming off in adverse situations. 652 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:26,480 Texans get throttled by the Vikings. 653 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:27,480 And then they come out and win last week. 654 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,480 The offense looks pretty good. 655 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:35,480 The Bills puts up what Josh Allen probably defaults himself into the MVP conversation against the Jaguars. 656 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,480 And then they get throttled by the Ravens. 657 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:42,480 So you're looking at teams kind of both in the last two weeks. 658 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,480 Don't know how to feel about themselves. 659 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,480 And now they're going to square off in Houston. 660 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,480 I'm going to take the Texans here close. 661 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,480 I think it's going to be a Stephon Diggs game. 662 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:52,480 I think Diggs is waiting for this game. 663 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,480 I think this is going to be the Stephon Diggs game. 664 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,480 You traded me. 665 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:57,480 Look what you got now. 666 00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:58,480 And he goes off. 667 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,480 That has a big game. 668 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:05,480 So this is the week I think it's going to be great for Stephon Diggs. 669 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,480 Texans win. 670 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,480 And then Monday Night Football, Saints at Chiefs. 671 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,480 I think the Saints win this game. 672 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:19,480 And it's one of those situations where the Saints have a good defense, then so do the Chiefs. 673 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:20,480 The Chiefs have beat to hell. 674 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,480 The Saints are not offensively. 675 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,480 A little trouble with O-line. 676 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,480 Chris Jones could wreck this game for the Saints. 677 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,480 But ultimately, I think that the Saints win it close. 678 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,480 I think Derek Carr puts a drive together when he has to. 679 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:34,480 And then my home's looks around. 680 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,480 There's nobody left to throw the ball to. 681 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:42,480 And I think the Saints do win this game close and air ahead for a huge win for the New Orleans Saints. 682 00:50:42,480 --> 00:51:10,480 But up next, we're going to shift into our NFL betting segment, Jax Pack. 683 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:14,480 Welcome back into the show. 684 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,480 And apparently, I have no idea how long these blocks are going to go. 685 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:23,480 Because I thought the A block was going to be like a 10-15 minute block, ended up being a 23 minute block. 686 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:28,480 I thought the B block was going to be like a 15 minute block, ended up being a 26 minute block-ish. 687 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,480 25 minute block. 688 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,480 Alright, I promise Jax Pack won't be that long. 689 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,480 And I'm a little frustrated on Jax Pack. 690 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,480 I should have been 4-1 last week. 691 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,480 I ended up 3-2. 692 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,480 I had Saints minus 1.5. 693 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:44,480 And I thought all week I had them at plus 1.5. 694 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,480 And I thought all week I had them at plus 2.5. 695 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,480 And I would have hit it if it was plus 2.5. 696 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,480 But it was plus 1.5, so I lost about half a point. 697 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,480 That's frustrating. 698 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:59,480 Or had they played defense and kept them out of field goal range, I still would have won that bet. 699 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:00,480 But whatever. 700 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,480 I went 3-2 last week. 701 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,480 Improves us to 12-8. 702 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:05,480 Which is 60%. 703 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,480 And again, the goal of the year is 57%. 704 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,480 Because 57% means I can be a professional gambler. 705 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,480 That is a professional gambler standard. 706 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,480 Is anywhere from 54% to 57%. 707 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,480 57% covers your juices. 708 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,480 So it doesn't matter what the juices are on your lost bets. 709 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:22,480 You win. 710 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,480 If you bet the same unit on all your bets. 711 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,480 54% you may end up being a positive winner. 712 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,480 But a negative net money. 713 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,480 Because of juice. 714 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,480 So if you just bet all the same units. 715 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,480 I am currently at 60%. 716 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,480 And we're going to continue to roll this week. 717 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,480 I love most of these numbers. 718 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,480 Like a couple of them. 719 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:46,480 But I love most of them. 720 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,480 The first number I love is Jags minus 3 versus the Colts. 721 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,480 Anthony Richardson is a little beat up. 722 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,480 Joe Flacco came in and played well. 723 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,480 But remember that desperation I spoke about with the Bengals? 724 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,480 The Jaguars are actually ultimately desperate. 725 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:01,480 The Jags lose this game. 726 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,480 Fall to 0-5. 727 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:04,480 The season is over. 728 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,480 And it's over. 729 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,480 And you're just getting Trevor Lawrence questions. 730 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,480 You're getting Doug Pederson questions. 731 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,480 Doug Pederson may end up being fired. 732 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:18,480 It's one of those situations where they have to win against the Colts. 733 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,480 No ifs ands or buts about it. 734 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,480 And the ironic part is if the Texans lose. 735 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,480 You're only two games back in your division. 736 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,480 You're one and four but you're two games back. 737 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,480 With a chance to play the Texans again. 738 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,480 So this is a situation where the Jaguars have to win. 739 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,480 I do think they win by more than a touchdown. 740 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,480 Therefore they definitely cover the minus three. 741 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,480 Take the Jags. 742 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,480 Commanders minus three versus the Browns. 743 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,480 Hammer the Commanders here. 744 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,480 So remember how I talked about how I was going to be on the bus for the Jane Daniels. 745 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,480 They're probably going to end up driving the bus. 746 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,480 I'm officially in the driver's seat. 747 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,480 Commanders to the moon. 748 00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,480 They're going to destroy the Browns. 749 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:05,480 And what you don't want is a Dan Quinn team with confidence. 750 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,480 That's a bad combination. 751 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:11,480 Remember that Atlanta roster that went to two bowlers with 23 on Brady. 752 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,480 Name me some playoff that roster. 753 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,480 Don't worry. I'll wait. 754 00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,480 It wasn't a very amazingly talented roster. 755 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,480 They just had a lot of belief in themselves. 756 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:26,480 And they believed in the scheme and Dan Quinn's a hell of a schematic person on defense. 757 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:34,480 So now you've got a team that's playing a Browns team that is all but setting up to trade Amari Cooper. 758 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:43,480 You have a Browns team that has Deshaun Watson who is whatever left of him. 759 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,480 And Deshaun Watson, you know what I'm saying? 760 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:54,480 Like he's just whatever is left of him, I guess, is what they have in Cleveland. 761 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,480 No David and Joku still. 762 00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,480 Your offensive line is a little beat up. 763 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:03,480 And like I said, you've got a Dan Quinn team who's excited to be there. 764 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,480 And on the other side, Cleveland have a great defense. 765 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,480 Guess who's coming into town? 766 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:12,480 Cliff Kingsbury in the most efficient quarterback in the first four games of any season in NFL history. 767 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,480 Yeah, I've got the Commanders here. 768 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,480 Yeah, by a couple of touchdowns probably. 769 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,480 If this is one of those big numbers, I would have went with the big number anyway. 770 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,480 But minus three stealing to the commanders. 771 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,480 Cowboys plus two and a half at Pittsburgh. 772 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,480 I don't understand the line. 773 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,480 If it was minus two and a half, I probably stay away. 774 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,480 Plus two and a half easily take the Cowboys here. 775 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:37,480 This is such a number. 776 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,480 This is a gimme number. 777 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,480 You could tease this number. 778 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:53,480 Probably to almost even money and you'd still get positive money. 779 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,480 Like I don't understand this line at all from Vegas. 780 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,480 Not even a little bit. 781 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,480 Take the Cowboys here. 782 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,480 Plus two and a half at the Pittsburgh Steelers. 783 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:08,480 So those were our three love numbers. 784 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,480 These are my likes. 785 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:11,480 I don't hate them. 786 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,480 I just like them. 787 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,480 So Patriots minus one versus the Miami Dolphins. 788 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:19,480 Take the Patriots. 789 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,480 I don't trust either of these teams. 790 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:25,480 I think the Patriots currently has a better infrastructure than the Dolphins. 791 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,480 It's a home game for the Patriots. 792 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,480 Snoop Huntley is probably the opposing starting quarterback. 793 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:37,480 I've got to believe that the New England Patriots can stop Snoop Huntley more than the Miami Dolphins. 794 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,480 Can stop Chikurubo Berset in the run game with Ramon J. Stevenson. 795 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,480 I've just got to believe that the Patriots win this game alright. 796 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,480 They win about more than a point. 797 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,480 Take the Patriots. 798 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,480 And then the number that I battled on a little bit. 799 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:51,480 I like it. 800 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:52,480 Don't love it. 801 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,480 Braiders plus two and a half at the Broncos. 802 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,480 And the only reason why is because it's a Broncos home game. 803 00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,480 You get into that mile high air. 804 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,480 Sean Payton slows the game down. 805 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:02,480 Tires your defense out. 806 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:06,480 And all of a sudden you're looking at the fact that you're down seven somehow. 807 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,480 And you really don't know how you got there. 808 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:14,480 But I would take the Raiders here plus two and a half. 809 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,480 I just have a little bit more belief in the Raiders right now. 810 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:19,480 And what they're doing. 811 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,480 Just opposed to what the Broncos are doing. 812 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:27,480 Even with how well Bo Nicks didn't play against the New York Jets. 813 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,480 So I have the Raiders here. 814 00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,480 Now they're dealing with stuff with Devontae Adams. 815 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:32,480 But it's always weird with the Raiders. 816 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,480 It feels like the more turmoil they have. 817 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,480 The more drama they have. 818 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,480 They play better and they win games. 819 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:41,480 I don't get it. 820 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,480 Well they've got Devontae Adams drama right now. 821 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,480 They've got a mess right now with him. 822 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,480 I don't expect him to play this week. 823 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:51,480 I don't expect him to ever put on the silver and black again. 824 00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,480 But I do think, despite all that. 825 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,480 That the Raiders win this game. 826 00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:57,480 Outright. 827 00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,480 But definitely cover the plus two and a half. 828 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,480 So again, run through the numbers one more time. 829 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,480 Jags minus three over the Colts. 830 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,480 Commanders minus three over the Browns. 831 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,480 Cobb Woods plus two and a half over Pittsburgh. 832 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,480 Patriots minus one over the Dolphins. 833 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,480 Raiders plus two and a half over the Broncos. 834 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,480 But up next we're going to shift into the WNBA. 835 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:40,480 Talk about what's going down there. 836 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:44,480 Welcome back into the show. 837 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,480 After about an hour of NFL talk. 838 00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,480 We're going to move on to the WNBA. 839 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:54,480 As they are roaring towards the conclusion of their season. 840 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:55,480 Sadly. 841 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,480 The WNBA always feels is way too short. 842 00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:58,480 We need more teams. 843 00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,480 I'm so excited for the expansion teams. 844 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,480 The Golden State Valkyrie and the Portland team. 845 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,480 And then, oh, I forgot the other team already. 846 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,480 Toronto. 847 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,480 They are coming into the WNBA. 848 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:12,480 I'm so excited. 849 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,480 And then we need, I think either a Houston team. 850 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,480 That'll be fun. 851 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,480 Because remember at the comments. 852 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,480 I wouldn't mind a team in Miami. 853 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,480 That'll be cool. 854 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,480 But I like how they're spreading out their footprint. 855 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,480 Through the country. 856 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,480 But anyway, to the teams that exist. 857 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:32,480 To the teams that are current. 858 00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:33,480 We're in the Final Four. 859 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,480 We have the Minnesota Lynx. 860 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,480 Battling the Connecticut Sun. 861 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:38,480 And then the New York Liberty. 862 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,480 Battled in Las Vegas, Asis. 863 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,480 In a series that many people wanted to be the WNBA Finals. 864 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:44,480 Liberty and Asis. 865 00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,480 We just got it early. 866 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,480 Which under the old system. 867 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,480 These are two teams from each side. 868 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,480 It would have been Lynx, Asis, Sun, Liberty. 869 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,480 Under the East-West old configuration. 870 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,480 But because they unconferenced the playoffs. 871 00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:04,480 You get East versus the West in both series. 872 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,480 Minnesota. 873 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,480 Start off with Minnesota and Connecticut. 874 01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,480 They're going to go to Connecticut. 875 01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,480 With it being a 1-1 series. 876 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,480 The Sun stole home court in game one. 877 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,480 Minnesota came out and handled business game two. 878 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,480 But it felt like, and you see it a lot in the NBA. 879 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,480 It felt like one of those games where Connecticut came out with the mindset of. 880 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:25,480 We got to steal. 881 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,480 Once they stole. 882 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,480 I won't say they backed off. 883 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,480 I won't dare accuse the Connecticut Sun of that. 884 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,480 Because they have championship level players. 885 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:36,480 They have championship level team. 886 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,480 But I think a certain level of comfortability kicked in. 887 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:43,480 I think a certain level of. 888 01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:44,480 What's the word I'm looking for? 889 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:45,480 Comfort. 890 01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:46,480 I think that's the word I'm looking for. 891 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,480 But a certain level of not complacency. 892 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,480 Complacency kicked in. 893 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:51,480 Or resolve. 894 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,480 So like once. 895 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,480 Minnesota gets out. 896 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:56,480 And they start to roll. 897 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:57,480 The first half was pretty close. 898 01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,480 Once they get out rolling the third quarter. 899 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:00,480 Early fourth quarter. 900 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:01,480 You make that push. 901 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:02,480 And then you go. 902 01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:03,480 All right. 903 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:04,480 We did. 904 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:05,480 We came here to do. 905 01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:06,480 We split. 906 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:07,480 Let's go back to Connecticut and take care of business. 907 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,480 And so I think that's what happened there. 908 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,480 I had the Minnesota Lynx before this series. 909 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:13,480 Making it to the finals. 910 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,480 I still have the Minnesota Lynx after this series. 911 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,480 Making it to the finals. 912 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,480 Nafisa Calliers is too good. 913 01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,480 And so when you have a balanced series. 914 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:24,480 Like this is. 915 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:26,480 The best player by a lot. 916 01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,480 Usually makes the difference. 917 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,480 Nafisa Calliers is the best player in this series. 918 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:31,480 By a lot. 919 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,480 I think the second best player in this series. 920 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:34,480 Probably Alyssa Thomas. 921 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,480 She's not on Nafisa Calliers level. 922 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:37,480 Right. 923 01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:38,480 And again. 924 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:39,480 Connecticut has a bunch of dogs on it. 925 01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:40,480 Alyssa Thomas. 926 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:41,480 Don't want to Bona. 927 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:42,480 Dejane Carrington. 928 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:43,480 Just to name a few. 929 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:44,480 Marina Mabry. 930 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,480 Nafisa Calliers is the best player in this series. 931 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,480 By a lot. 932 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,480 And so. 933 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,480 I think that. 934 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,480 That being the case. 935 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,480 I think that it's going to be hard. 936 01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,480 For Connecticut to win this series. 937 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,480 Because the teams are fairly balanced out. 938 01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:03,480 I think Cher Reeves is the better coach. 939 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,480 Evidence she wasn't coached for the Coach of the Year. 940 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:06,480 I think she's the better coach. 941 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,480 And I just think that Nafisa is just going to. 942 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,480 Ultimately dominate this series. 943 01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,480 They won game two with her playing not great. 944 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,480 So she goes into Connecticut. 945 01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,480 She was going crazy. 946 01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:19,480 In round one. 947 01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:20,480 She goes into Connecticut. 948 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,480 I think they steal home court back. 949 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,480 I think it goes back to Minnesota 2-2. 950 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,480 And then it's a game five. 951 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:27,480 In Minnesota. 952 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,480 Nafisa Calliers one game away from the WNBA finals. 953 01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,480 It's going to be hard to deny her. 954 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,480 Just going to be honest here. 955 01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:38,480 I think she's just the best player in the series. 956 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,480 Flipping to the other series. 957 01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,480 A series that many people wanted it to be. 958 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,480 The WNBA finals. 959 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:45,480 Myself included. 960 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,480 Liberty and ACES. 961 01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,480 You've got a series with currently. 962 01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:50,480 It's 2-0. 963 01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:51,480 It's 2-0 Liberty. 964 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,480 What's the old NBA adage? 965 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,480 A series doesn't start until the home team loses. 966 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,480 So technically this series hasn't started yet. 967 01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,480 Liberty take care of business. 968 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,480 I think if the ACES were going to steal. 969 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,480 It was last night. 970 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,480 And if you're an ACES fan. 971 01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:06,480 I'm an ACES supporter. 972 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:07,480 I like Aja Wilson. 973 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:08,480 I like the ACES. 974 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,480 That last night hurt. 975 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,480 Because you went down. 976 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:13,480 You were down all game. 977 01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,480 You charge it to take the lead. 978 01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,480 And then Aja Wilson. 979 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,480 She misses a bunny. 980 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:21,480 She misses a layup. 981 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,480 And then Liberty get up. 982 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:25,480 Two, three possessions. 983 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,480 And then you play the free throw game. 984 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:28,480 And the Liberty don't miss. 985 01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,480 And then ultimately you end up with a situation where you could. 986 01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:33,480 They do miss the free throw. 987 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:34,480 And again you miss an easy one. 988 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,480 Kelsey Plum doesn't catch the ball from Chelsea Gray. 989 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,480 For some reason you don't call a time out there. 990 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:41,480 And you say Kelsey. 991 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:42,480 He bounced off her shoulder. 992 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:43,480 And then you end the free throw game again. 993 01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:44,480 And you lose. 994 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:48,480 And it is just a situation where that was your game to steal. 995 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,480 That was your game to get it back to Vegas. 996 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,480 And you're in the whole plane ride home. 997 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,480 You're saying the next time we get on the plane. 998 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,480 It's going to be in the NBA finals. 999 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,480 And instead you know for a fact. 1000 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,480 In order to win this series. 1001 01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,480 We have to go back to New York. 1002 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:08,480 And so it's a mindset of its desperation in Vegas. 1003 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:12,480 They have a chance to be the first team since the comments to win three championships in a row. 1004 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:16,480 Joining the comments is the only team in the WNBA history to win three titles in a row. 1005 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:22,480 Joining a very short list of American professional sports teams to win three in a row. 1006 01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,480 It's never been done in the NFL. 1007 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:25,480 The Chiefs are trying this year. 1008 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,480 It's only been done once in the WNBA. 1009 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:32,480 The comments did it. 1010 01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,480 The first three titles all went to them. 1011 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,480 You're looking at the NBA. 1012 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,480 You've got Russell Celtics. 1013 01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,480 Jordan's Bulls. 1014 01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,480 That's it. 1015 01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,480 Russell did it a few times. 1016 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,480 Jordan's Bulls did it twice. 1017 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:51,480 No one since Shaq and Kobe's Lakers. 1018 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,480 That's it. 1019 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:59,480 You're looking at maybe three or four three-peat champions in the NBA. 1020 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,480 No one did it in the 80s. 1021 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:02,480 Bulls did it in the 90s. 1022 01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,480 Shaq and Kobe did it in the 2000s. 1023 01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,480 No one's done it since. 1024 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,480 Yeah, so you're looking at three or four in the NBA. 1025 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:12,480 I'm not as versed on hockey history. 1026 01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:18,480 But I think it's been done one time in the NHL and twice in baseball. 1027 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,480 So you're looking at less than 10 teams in the history of American professional sports. 1028 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:25,480 To have it went through in a row, and that's what the Aces are trying to join. 1029 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,480 And now all the pressure in the world is on you because you can't lose another game. 1030 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:32,480 The next time the Aces can afford to lose another game is in the WNBA Finals. 1031 01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,480 Otherwise, they don't make it. 1032 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,480 And if you're the Liberty, you're saying we've got to win one of these next two. 1033 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:41,480 If the Aces come out and it's just the Aces or Willsons show, 1034 01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,480 and you look up and you're down 15 to 20 points at halftime. 1035 01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,480 All right, take this and we'll go to game four. 1036 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:53,480 For the Aces, you have to be incredibly desperate here for the rest of this series. 1037 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:56,480 And I do honestly, I'm not abandoning ship. 1038 01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,480 My head is saying Liberty, but I've been with the Aces all season. 1039 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,480 I've been supporting them on a three P roll. 1040 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,480 I think they're going to ultimately get this done. 1041 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,480 This is an amazing rivalry, though. 1042 01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,480 Aces and Liberty, Brianna Stewart, Asia Wilson. 1043 01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:13,480 Because last year Brianna Stewart wins the MVP, Asia wins the title. 1044 01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,480 This year over Brianna Stewart. 1045 01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,480 This year Asia has the MVP. 1046 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,480 It's looking like Brianna's going to keep Asia off the title. 1047 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,480 So this is going to be an amazing rivalry, hopefully for years to come. 1048 01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,480 But I say I'm not abandoning the Aces. 1049 01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,480 I do think they get it done. 1050 01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,480 Hey, you want to win three straight titles, you got to win three straight games. 1051 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:39,480 That's about as plain and simple, straight to the point as it can be done. 1052 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:43,480 If you are, let's say, if you're the Aces, Asia Wilson is the best player in the world. 1053 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:45,480 She's got to win this game. 1054 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,480 But, but on other news, expansion. 1055 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:49,480 We started with expansion. 1056 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,480 We're going to end with expansion. 1057 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:57,480 The WNBA announced some key information for the expansion draft for the Golden State Valkyries. 1058 01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:02,480 It will take place on December 6th on ESPN. 1059 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,480 They will begin playing 2025, so next season. 1060 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,480 Golden State, I'm going to read the key information. 1061 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:15,480 Golden State will select from a designated pool of available players as determined by each of the current 12 teams. 1062 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:26,480 Each of the existing teams will be required to submit to the league office a roster list that includes every player to whom the player has rights. 1063 01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:36,480 So this is including a lot of rookie draft rights, but this is including hold rights, including draft and sash people like every player that you have rights to. 1064 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:42,480 You have to submit to the league every single person that it is. 1065 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:51,480 The deadline for submission of the roster list will be determined at a later date, but it will be expected to be approximately 10 days prior to the day of the draft. 1066 01:07:51,480 --> 01:08:04,480 So end of November, for instance, each team submitted roster list will be required to designate a max of six quote unquote protected players who will not be available for the selection in the expansion draft. 1067 01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:11,480 All of the players on each team's rosters will be available for the Valkyries to pick from basically. 1068 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:16,480 And so that is huge. 1069 01:08:16,480 --> 01:08:18,480 And then, of course, I wonder how many pairs they have to pick. 1070 01:08:18,480 --> 01:08:23,480 They haven't reached all the details like do I have to pick all vets? 1071 01:08:23,480 --> 01:08:28,480 Can I pick, you know, five vets, seven unsigned rookies? 1072 01:08:28,480 --> 01:08:34,480 Can I pick, you know, six and then have six draft picks? 1073 01:08:34,480 --> 01:08:44,480 Like, I wonder how they're going to have them build their roster or they're going to make them do 12 people, then you draft, you know, three and then so on and so forth. 1074 01:08:44,480 --> 01:08:59,480 So it'll be very interesting to see how this draft goes because it will set the precedent for Portland, Toronto and the 16 franchise whenever that gets approved, probably for the year 2027 or 2027. 1075 01:08:59,480 --> 01:09:14,480 All right. But up next, we're going to have our Jax high take, which will be our college football to Minidrill. 1076 01:09:29,480 --> 01:09:41,480 Welcome back into the show. 1077 01:09:41,480 --> 01:09:47,480 And now we're going to run our college football to Minidrill. 1078 01:09:47,480 --> 01:09:54,480 And we'll discuss as many topics in the college football world as in depth as possible in two minutes. 1079 01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:59,480 So let's get started. 1080 01:09:59,480 --> 01:10:03,480 All right. So we are into the era of the NIL transfer. 1081 01:10:03,480 --> 01:10:25,480 And the fact is, about the quarterback of UNLV, Sluka, he decided to take his redshirt and transfer immediately or into the transfer portal due to the fact that the NIL obligations were not met at the time or he felt like were not going to be met through UNLV. 1082 01:10:25,480 --> 01:10:35,480 So Chris Cross all over the place. Some were saying that they agreed on basically 50K up front, 50K by week three. The school was trying to do like installments, whatever. 1083 01:10:35,480 --> 01:10:47,480 I don't know what happened. Regardless, he wanted out. They ended up winning their game without him with one of the fans in the crowd having a sign that read this is UNLV, not UNILV. 1084 01:10:47,480 --> 01:10:50,480 Clever. 1085 01:10:50,480 --> 01:10:59,480 But all in all, I think we're going to see this more and more. It actually started a trend where a couple other players dropped out due to that as well. 1086 01:10:59,480 --> 01:11:06,480 The Pac-12 and the Mountain West are still in an ongoing battle to become the fifth of the power fives and to hold themselves. 1087 01:11:06,480 --> 01:11:10,480 The Pac-12 has picked up schools like Gonzaga along with a couple other schools. 1088 01:11:10,480 --> 01:11:13,480 The Mountain West is pulling people up as well. 1089 01:11:13,480 --> 01:11:22,480 Sacramento State is doing their absolute best to get to the Pac-12 as soon as possible, but they are in a battle for that as well. 1090 01:11:22,480 --> 01:11:27,480 Alabama and Georgia was an exciting game that had many different twists and turns, especially towards the end. 1091 01:11:27,480 --> 01:11:32,480 You had Mammoth going up 30 to 7, then you finish with a Georgia absolute run to take the lead. 1092 01:11:32,480 --> 01:11:41,480 And then Ryan Williams at 17 years old does one of the craziest moves in the history of college football with the dead legs spin between two Georgia's players causing them to hug each other. 1093 01:11:41,480 --> 01:11:48,480 As he runs into the end zone, Ashton Gentey is everybody's favorite player at Boise State on the blue grass. 1094 01:11:48,480 --> 01:11:53,480 He's averaging 10 yards a carry, 83 carries over 100 yards, 13 touchdowns through four games. 1095 01:11:53,480 --> 01:11:59,480 He has a chance to win the Heisman and if the Heisman Trophy is not Travis Hunter, change the name of the award. 1096 01:11:59,480 --> 01:12:18,480 And we get it in just under two minutes. And the two minute drill is probably going to be our college football update. If college football is not a big topic this week, we'll do our college football two minute drill to make sure you always have the most updates on college football. 1097 01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:29,480 But that is all I have for today.
