His opinion from the heart.

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,280
He can never show you fake.

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,280
If you winning or you losing, he gonna tell it to you straight.

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,280
How do you talk in basketball without enjoying the brine to be?

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,280
If you got the hottest takes, you better come and make your case.

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,280
If you win a couple games, he might even show you grace.

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,280
JCS on every platform, we growing adaptation.

27
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,280
Numbers going up the charts, we create the separation.

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,280
Louisiana, till I die, is where I'm from, I can't replace it.

29
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,280
Some people minds are obtuse, but I like to be adjacent.

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,280
Giving my opinion like I'm Nick Bright or I'm Jason.

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,280
ESPN, better watch out, cause I'm coming for the spaceship.

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,280
We even tweeting on Twitter, you can meet us in the spaces.

33
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,280
Highlight clips of sports news, yeah, you got it in recent.

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,280
We never had it easy, we just came from the pavement.

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,280
It can be controversial, but I like to make my statement.

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,280
This is just a time sports, come and get your weekly takes.

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,280
His opinion from the heart, he can never show you fake.

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:03,280
Look, if you winning or you losing, he gonna tell it to you straight.

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,280
This is just a time sports, come and get your weekly takes.

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,280
He gonna tell it to you straight.

41
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,280
Welcome into the show.

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,280
Welcome, welcome, welcome in.

43
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,280
I'm recording this on Wednesday evening.

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,280
By the time you guys hear this, it'll be Thursday morning.

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Welcome into the show.

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,280
I'm gonna be talking with you guys, planning on this being a shorter show.

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,280
I know I've said that the last three shows.

48
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,280
But I am planning on this being a shorter show.

49
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,280
Trying to get right into the meat of the information.

50
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,280
You'll hear more of the fluff and stuff, always from the YouTube show.

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,280
So make sure you guys subscribe to that if you want a little more banter.

52
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,280
But the audio shows more of your hard hitting facts, more of your my opinion.

53
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,280
The YouTube shows more of the back and forth banter with Jai from the H.I. Podcast.

54
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,280
Both shows are produced by IMS Productions.

55
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,280
Now, let's get right to the thick of it.

56
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,280
We had NFL week 13 last week, just wrapped up on Monday night.

57
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,280
We had our Thanksgiving trio of games.

58
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,280
The Cowboys keep finding a way to win.

59
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,280
Again, they played the Giants.

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,280
We're not gonna sit here and pretend like it was this world life changing win.

61
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,280
And oh my God, the Cowboys have figured it out and they're gonna go on this run.

62
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,280
No, no, no, no, no, no.

63
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,280
Because we're adults.

64
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,280
So we're not gonna do that.

65
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,280
We are adults.

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,280
We're not gonna do that at all.

67
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,280
We're not gonna sit here and say the Cowboys have faded out.

68
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,280
Their quarterback is still Cooper Rush.

69
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,280
So their head coach is still Mike McCarthy and their owner is still Jerry Jones.

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Ultimately, they have solves nothing.

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:44,280
However, they did get a pretty important win over the New York Giants who were going through their own weird turmoil thing.

72
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,280
Post Daniel Jones, no Tommy DeVito.

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:56,280
You know, I mean, the Giants were in a weird space and they ended up having to start, what's his name, Drew Locke.

74
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,280
Because Tommy DeVito had a forearm injury.

75
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,280
If the game was Sunday instead of Thursday, maybe DeVito gives it a go.

76
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,280
Instead, ultimately, it ends up being on Thursday.

77
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,280
So Drew Locke plays.

78
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,280
He doesn't play awful.

79
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,280
It's just the Cowboys.

80
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,280
You could tell if lack of first team reps were there.

81
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,280
Just certain timing throws weren't there for Drew Locke.

82
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,280
And Michael Parsons made a couple of big plays.

83
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:18,280
And he had a couple of plays in the secondary.

84
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:23,280
And you had one of the greater kick returns in Cavante Turpin.

85
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:30,280
And so when you have all these things mixed together, you have Dottle who Mike McCarthy is a huge fan of Rico Dottle.

86
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:35,280
I'm a huge fan because I stole him in fantasy off the scrap heap because nobody picked him up.

87
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:37,280
I just grabbed him.

88
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:47,280
Like literally, I traded for him a day or two before Mike McCarthy has a press conference and Dottle is running back one.

89
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,280
So great grab by me.

90
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,280
And all in all, great win for the Cowboys.

91
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:56,280
Hopefully, they're trying to build momentum to at least make the NFC wild card spot interesting.

92
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,280
The division is locked. It's going to Philly.

93
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:02,280
And so Washington, to me, is going to get one of the wild card spots.

94
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:07,280
But if you look at the NFC South, and I always do this, the NFC South is only putting in their champion.

95
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,280
The NFC North, I think Lions and Packers.

96
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:13,280
The NFC West probably is only putting in their champion.

97
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:22,280
So that means the Cowboys still have a shot realistically at making the 7C in the NFC, which would be huge for them.

98
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:29,280
Although it's probably best for them if they lose and get a better draft pick and get aggressive in free agency.

99
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:33,280
The Miami Dolphins froze on the frozen tundra.

100
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,280
What's new?

101
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:37,280
Miami Dolphins goes North.

102
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:38,280
It's below 40.

103
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:42,280
They look like they've never played outside before.

104
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,280
And then the Packers are masters at it.

105
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:46,280
The Packers, two things you never want to see in the cold.

106
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,280
You never want to see the Packers in the cold.

107
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,280
And you never want to see the Bills in the cold.

108
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:56,280
Both of those teams have mastered what we would consider outrageous weather.

109
00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:00,280
Whether that any logical human you bet the underarm like crazy.

110
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:03,280
And then they go put 40 and you're like, how?

111
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,280
But again, they're just used to it.

112
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:07,280
And the Dolphins look like they froze.

113
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,280
Two was record under 40 degrees.

114
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,280
Absolutely awful.

115
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:13,280
The Mike McDaniel era.

116
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:15,280
I don't recall them ever winning a game.

117
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:21,280
When the weather is cold, it's under 40 degrees because they froze in Kansas City.

118
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,280
They froze in Green Bay.

119
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:26,280
They just freeze.

120
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:31,280
And you're kind of like, you're trying to wonder how the teams up north prepare.

121
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:33,280
Because it's still the same cold, right?

122
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:36,280
But if you think about it, when you go out in it every day,

123
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:38,280
when you got to go to your car to go to practice and you're in it,

124
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:40,280
when you got to go to Walmart, you're in it,

125
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:42,280
when you got to walk to your home, you're in it,

126
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:44,280
when you got to walk to a facility, you're in it.

127
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:48,280
When you're in it two, three, four weeks, playing in it is whatever.

128
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,280
I'm sure those teams have an outside practice or two during the week

129
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:55,280
to get your body used to taking the hits and the movements and the cuts in the cold weather.

130
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:59,280
When you're in Miami, games on Sunday, you flew in Friday night.

131
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:00,280
You know what I'm saying?

132
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:02,280
Like you fly in Friday night.

133
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:05,280
So you're in, well, that kind of game, you might be stuck.

134
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,280
They might have you fly in Sunday morning or something when it clears up a little bit.

135
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:13,280
So you really have no time to adjust to the weather and then you're in it.

136
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,280
It's definitely a major home field advantage in the frozen tundra Green Bay.

137
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,280
If they're ever going to leave Lambeau Field for the sole purpose of or if they do build,

138
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,280
it's going to be an open top because that is their major advantage is the cold weather.

139
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,280
And they absolutely froze the Dolphins.

140
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,280
Not a really great offensive game from the Packers.

141
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:36,280
It's just when the other side is so putrid, it definitely shows.

142
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,280
And the Chicago Bears.

143
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,280
I'm not going to sit here and long wind about it.

144
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,280
It's been talked about, talked about heavily.

145
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,280
The end of that game was probably the worst clock man I've ever seen in my life.

146
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,280
There is no way on God's green earth.

147
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,280
Kayla Williams gets sacked.

148
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,280
He's a rookie, so I'm not going to say he shouldn't take a sack.

149
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,280
He shouldn't have, but I'm not going to bash his head in.

150
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,280
He's trying to make a play.

151
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,280
There's no reason on God's green earth.

152
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,280
Kayla Williams gets sacked with about 34 seconds left in the field goal range.

153
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:17,280
And the Chicago Bears not only never get a field goal off, they leave with the timeout.

154
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,280
It was so bad, in fact, that Kayla Williams ultimately is the one who called the play

155
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,280
on the last play of the game because he was sitting there waiting on his coaches to call the play.

156
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,280
That never occurred.

157
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:34,280
So he takes it to his own hands and go, well, I guess we got to go.

158
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,280
And ultimately, he said, I guess we got to take a shot at the end zone to try and win the game.

159
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,280
And that is how the game ends.

160
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:53,280
Or as I call it, an abject disaster of epic proportions, emphasis on the E, as in Matt Eberflu.

161
00:08:53,280 --> 00:09:00,280
Then immediately when that happens, I go, he can't ever be the coach again.

162
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:07,280
And it's just it's not even like one situation where it's like he literally can't go back.

163
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,280
You can't send him back in that locker room.

164
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,280
Like, it's just plain and simple.

165
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:21,280
You can't as an owner, even though the Bears are basically run by their CEO,

166
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:29,280
because the owner isn't very present, apparently, you can't send him back in there

167
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,280
in an effort to try and lead that team.

168
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,280
When you've got guys like Ken Allen said, I feel like the players are enough to win.

169
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,280
When you've got Kayla Williams openly admitting like, yeah, I had to call the last play.

170
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,280
We have a situation where every fan in the world is going, I can't believe that just happened.

171
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,280
We are already in the losing streak.

172
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,280
The confidence is already waned.

173
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,280
You have to remove the problem.

174
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,280
And that's what they did.

175
00:09:54,280 --> 00:10:01,280
So kudos to the Chicago Bears for being willing to do it, because some teams are not.

176
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,280
The Bears have never fired a coach in season in their entire history.

177
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,280
Matt Iberflu, congratulations, you were the first.

178
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,280
So with that being said, we're moving on Thanksgiving.

179
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,280
A little bit of breaking news into the show.

180
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:21,280
Trevor Lawrence, he went on injury reserved earlier.

181
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,280
Not really, you know, I thought it was concussion based.

182
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:32,280
It turns out he is undergoing surgery on his AC joint.

183
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,280
So remember the AC joint that he set out with for a while.

184
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:50,280
He is going to undergo surgery on the AC joint in his left shoulder in the next few weeks.

185
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,280
And that is why he ended up going on IR.

186
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,280
Mix that with the concussion.

187
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,280
You have the perfect recipe for injury reserved.

188
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:08,280
So Trevor Lawrence is headed to injury reserved due to a significant AC joint injury in his left shoulder

189
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,280
that he will undergo surgery on the next couple of weeks.

190
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:17,280
So major news into the NFL landscape for one of the young gunslingers in the league.

191
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,280
And of course, that's where I'll post all of our Just In Time Sports social medias

192
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,280
with the social media handle at JTimeSports.

193
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,280
Anyway, back to our scheduled show.

194
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,280
So the Cincinnati Bengals defense is an absolute joke.

195
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,280
It is a travesty. It is a disaster.

196
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:38,280
Seriously, I'm honestly only talking about this because A, they've been ruining some of my bets.

197
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:47,280
And B, they have somehow, someway, the propensity to continue to, I don't know,

198
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:53,280
let's see here, not be ready to play football games.

199
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,280
Wonder who that falls on.

200
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,280
Oh, it's Zach Taylor.

201
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,280
It's only the guy that I've been screaming should be fired for weeks now,

202
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:08,280
continuing to allow his team to not be ready and continue repeatedly in order to not have themselves

203
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,280
in the best position to win games.

204
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:18,280
At this point, I'm almost simply because the owner doesn't like winning games.

205
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,280
Like his buyout can't be that substantial.

206
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,280
Like it's to the point where I'm like, does he have photos?

207
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,280
Is he in league with the owner?

208
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,280
Is the owner trying to lose games?

209
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:40,280
I mean, like, what is the benefit of keeping Zach Taylor on that roster?

210
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,280
And leading that roster rather?

211
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,280
I would love to know.

212
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:54,280
I honestly would love to know why he continues to be employed as a head coach in the NFL.

213
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:59,280
I talked about the head coach of the Chargers, Brandon Staley.

214
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:06,280
Honestly, I honestly felt bad at certain point for Brandon Staley because he was inexperienced.

215
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,280
Some of that they gave him a job way too early and when he couldn't do it, everybody was mad he couldn't do it.

216
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,280
Or he's never been a head coach at anything.

217
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,280
Not middle school, not high school, not college.

218
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:24,280
He gets a head coach job of the Los Angeles Chargers, honestly, while barely being a coordinator.

219
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:32,280
Because when you're an officer, according to Sean McVay, that's more of you may run the meeting if McVay's busy.

220
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,280
But if it's an offensive install meeting, McVay's the coach.

221
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,280
He's the offensive play caller. He's going to do the install.

222
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,280
If it's a quarterback meeting, it's probably going to be McVay again.

223
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,280
During game day, you're in the booth probably counting the eligible.

224
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:52,280
So having that job to then being the head coach of the Chargers is a jump.

225
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,280
Being bad at it is not surprising. Sorry I asked to feel more bad for Staley.

226
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,280
But back on track, Zach Taylor is an experienced head coach. He just sucks.

227
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:06,280
So I would gladly love for him to no longer be the head coach of the Bengals.

228
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,280
The Kansas City Chiefs key finding ways to win ugly.

229
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,280
They're on a hot streak-ish. Buffalo mismanaged with them.

230
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:21,280
But they got a win last week against the Raiders. It was ugly. Like all their wins.

231
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,280
We spoke about it last week, how they're just not built to blow you out.

232
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,280
They're not designed. It's just not in their DNA right now.

233
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:34,280
The Lions are designed to absolutely wreck you. That's what they're trying to do.

234
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:39,280
The Chiefs are trying to win the game and they're usually winning it very, very ugly.

235
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,280
They're not trying to win it ugly. That's just how this team shakes out.

236
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:48,280
They win games very, very ugly. They survive one against the Raiders.

237
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:54,280
It took a snap off the chest of the Raiders in order for the Chiefs to win the game.

238
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,280
That is how close the Chiefs got to losing because Brock Bauer seemed unguardable.

239
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,280
The MVP race seems to be narrowing.

240
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:08,280
Usually around this time of year we get a clear cut winner or a couple of clear cut candidates.

241
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,280
Those candidates are Saquon Barkley and Josh Allen.

242
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,280
I don't think anybody has a chance at it.

243
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,280
I think if Joe Burrow had any kind of support he would be in this race.

244
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:29,280
Considering that he is 4-7, you kind of can't put him in the MVP race.

245
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:36,280
I would, but logically, seriously, you honestly can't put him in the MVP race.

246
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:43,280
Therefore, that leaves you with a few options.

247
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,280
The options are incredibly few.

248
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,280
Again, in my opinion, Saquon Barkley or Josh Allen.

249
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,280
Honestly, I would go with Saquon Barkley.

250
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,280
Josh Allen is playing really well.

251
00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:05,280
If Saquon Barkley wins not only the NFL Russian Crown, but he has triple threat, carries yards and touchdowns,

252
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:11,280
and breaks Eric Dickerson's yards record, there is no way Saquon Barkley is not the MVP.

253
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:17,280
That's just plain and simple. As a fact, they are going to win 13 games, 14 games.

254
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:27,280
If he breaks ED's 2105 rushing record, he has to have the MVP and Josh Allen golf as a player of the year.

255
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,280
Usually it's reversed. Usually the best quarterback gets MVP and the best player gets to play as a player of the year.

256
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,280
We are going to flip that if Saquon makes history.

257
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:49,280
Lastly, Jameis Winston gave us the full experience.

258
00:16:49,280 --> 00:17:07,280
I say all the time, I'm like, Jameis Winston is the only quarterback that honestly, and I do mean honestly, every single throw your brain does one of two things.

259
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:25,280
This is either going to be the greatest thing, the greatest pass you've ever seen in your life, or you are going to be, and I do mean entirely flabbergasted at the idea of the thought that he tried that pass.

260
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:33,280
And that's pretty much what happened. On Monday night, he had some throws that were just spectacular.

261
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:41,280
I mean, you can look at the guy, he was going for over 200 yards. Jerry Judy goes for over two bills, I think 235 or something like that.

262
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:49,280
Absolutely spectacular. Jameis Winston throws for 497 yards on 58 attempts. The QBR of 76.

263
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:56,280
The problem is he throws two pick sixes, but he has four touchdowns and he throws another interception.

264
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:06,280
Like that was full blown Jameis Winston experience. It's heart racing and nerve pounding until the very last throw.

265
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,280
And it always seems to come down to the very last throw.

266
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:40,280
Up next, we're going to shift into NFL week 14.

267
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,280
Welcome back into the show.

268
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:52,280
And now we're jumping into NFL week 14. And we're going to start off with our Thursday night preview. We have pack at Lions.

269
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:59,280
Big game. It is in our Jax pack, so we're not going to pick it. But it is a big divisional game. The Lions win this game.

270
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,280
They have all but moved the Packers out of the way as far as winning the NFC North.

271
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:10,280
And the only team they'll be in the running with is the Minnesota Vikings. So this is a big game for the Detroit Lions.

272
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,280
The Lions are 11 and 1. If they get to 12 and 1, they'll have a two game lead on the Vikings with five to go.

273
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,280
I'm not sure if the Packers and the Vikings play again this season. Pretty sure they do.

274
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:27,280
But this will go a long way to eliminating the Packers out of contention.

275
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:35,280
Because if they can get rid of the Packers, because right now they are, it doesn't tell me.

276
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:42,280
Right now they are two games up on the Packers. They win this, they'll be three games up while owning a tiebreaker.

277
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,280
So that would be huge considering that they've already played and the Lions have already beat them.

278
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:52,280
So if the Lions beat them again, they'll be three games up with five games left. And they will own the tiebreaker.

279
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:57,280
With four games left, they'll be three games up plus the tiebreaker.

280
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:04,280
All but sealing the Packers out of the division. And the Lions and the Vikings do play on the last week of the season.

281
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:10,280
Which very well could decide the NFC North. And this is a huge game.

282
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,280
If you're the Packers, this is your only chance to win your division.

283
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:19,280
And it's rare you get one of these games. The NFL is doing a really good job with the scheduling.

284
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:27,280
They're kind of forcing these games in. Because the Packers have the Vikings again.

285
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,280
Because the Packers beat the Vikings earlier this year. No, the Vikings beat the Packers.

286
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:38,280
So the Packers have the Vikings again on December 29th. They have a chance at them.

287
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:44,280
But the Lions get the Vikings on, well it's a flex week, so week 17.

288
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,280
They get their chance at the Vikings, but they can all but seal the Lions out.

289
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:54,280
Because earlier in the season, the Lions beat the Vikings.

290
00:20:54,280 --> 00:21:01,280
So they can all but seal the Lions out. And it may come down to both teams entering with two losses maybe.

291
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:08,280
And then, you know, winner of week 17 gets the division. Loser is the Wild Card team.

292
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:14,280
Because that winner could very well be the team that has to buy. Because on the team, really in contention for the buy, besides that, it's Philly.

293
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:21,280
So, a lot riding on this game. One of the bigger Thursday night games you'll see in a very long time.

294
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,280
Probably one of the better Thursday night games you're going to see in a very long time.

295
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:30,280
You've got golf and love. You've got two teams that, like I said, Packers win. They open the division all the way up.

296
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:35,280
Lions win. They seal the Packers completely out of the NFC North crown.

297
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:42,280
So absolutely humongous game. We'll pick our winner. We'll talk about the winner in Jack's Pack.

298
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:48,280
Falcons at Vikings. Another game in our Jack's Pack. So we won't talk about it.

299
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:53,280
This is a game, huge game. Remember I said Minnesota can keep pace in their division.

300
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,280
This is a game that Minnesota has to win. Because they're a game behind the Packers.

301
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,280
Technically a game and a half because they've already lost to them.

302
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,280
They have to continue to win and keep pace to where they can get it to week 17.

303
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,280
Kind of a win and you get your division type game.

304
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,280
Because the Packers, you can play it. That game could be the one seed game.

305
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,280
Forget winning your division and host the playoff game.

306
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,280
That game could very well be a one seed type game.

307
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,280
So you could go from the one seed with the buy and then hosting all the way to the Super Bowl.

308
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,280
To the fifth seed on the road and you're on the road possibly all the way to the Super Bowl.

309
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,280
I mean that's the kind of game that Packers Vikings week 17 game could be.

310
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Oh 18 game, I'm sorry. Could be.

311
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,280
And then this kind of game the Vikings has to win.

312
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,280
If you're the Atlanta Falcons, you have to keep, you have to say in front, you have to pace the NMC South.

313
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,280
You have the advantage right now.

314
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,280
Tampa, I think is one game behind you.

315
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,280
But you have to continue to pace the NMC South.

316
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,280
Getting a win like a Vikings win may be huge to come back later.

317
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,280
In the course of tiebreakers, so on and so forth.

318
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,280
So if you're Atlanta, you've got to get this win.

319
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:06,280
If you're the Vikings, you've got to keep pace with the Detroit Lions.

320
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,280
The Seattle Seahawks at the Arizona Cardinals.

321
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,280
Keeping up with the theme. Another game without Jax Pack.

322
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,280
So we're not going to pick a winner here.

323
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,280
But the Seahawks and the Cardinals are fighting for the NMC West.

324
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,280
The jumbled mess of NMC West.

325
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,280
The 49ers are finally in the Super Bowl hangover.

326
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,280
Stretched part of the thing.

327
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,280
Injuries are killing them. You have Trent Williams off personal reasons.

328
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,280
All prayers to his family dealing with the loss of their infant baby.

329
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,280
Newborn baby.

330
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,280
Christian McCaffrey with the PCO injury.

331
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,280
He's out probably for the rest of the year.

332
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,280
Brock Purdy was going to be with a shoulder.

333
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,280
They only as of this morning had one healthy running back.

334
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,280
They've since signed to Ayuka Zardy.

335
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,280
Kettle's getting beat up.

336
00:23:52,280 --> 00:24:02,280
It's like they're finally at a point where a team hits the wall.

337
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,280
And then they hit it again.

338
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,280
And then they hit it again.

339
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:10,280
And they just continue to ram their head into this what appears to be never ending wall.

340
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,280
An impenetrable wall.

341
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,280
And eventually they just fall apart and they can't get through.

342
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,280
And it's kind of what the 49ers are feeling like.

343
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,280
This iteration of the Niners is done.

344
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,280
Now they have some of their pieces.

345
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,280
They're going to have Bosa probably for another 2-3 years.

346
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,280
You're going to have Kettle another 2-3 years.

347
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,280
You're going to have CMC probably another 2-3 good years.

348
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,280
You'll have Deebo.

349
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,280
You know Purdy's young.

350
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,280
Like you'll have some of your base but Trent Williams is going to be around very much longer.

351
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:45,280
A lot of that Fred Warner probably got two years of prime left.

352
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,280
So they're going to have to start retooling some of their top guys.

353
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:55,280
And that's where it gets dicey as far as continuing to sustain the success.

354
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,280
I also think their coaching quality has gone down.

355
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:05,280
I think Robert Sala being reunited with the Niners could be something that the Niners look to do.

356
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:12,280
But they're going to have to figure something out because they are just absolutely falling apart.

357
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:18,280
Because of which the Seahawks and the Cardinals have their shot to take control of the division.

358
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,280
The Niners are beat up.

359
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,280
The Niners are faltering.

360
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:30,280
If you're the Seahawks, this is your chance to push the Cardinals and everyone else back two games away from you with four to five games left.

361
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,280
And that's all you can ask for.

362
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,280
I have a two-game lead with four games left to host the first round of the playoffs in Seattle.

363
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,280
If you're Arizona, you have a chance to not only close that gap.

364
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:52,280
You have a chance to sit side by side with the Seattle Seahawks, top of your division, potentially two games clear of the Niners and the Rams.

365
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,280
And you're just sitting there going, we raced Seattle.

366
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,280
Winner gets home field.

367
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,280
Loser may not even make the playoffs.

368
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,280
So that's something that it has to be immense pressure on both sides.

369
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,280
We'll see how they respond.

370
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,280
Chargers and Chiefs.

371
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:13,280
A game where, in my opinion, the Chargers cannot allow the Chiefs to win ugly.

372
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,280
The Chiefs have a mental thing over the AFC West.

373
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,280
It reminds me of the Patriots who was in the AFC East in Dominant.

374
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,280
They won like 19 of 20 divisions and they didn't win.

375
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,280
It's because Brady gets hurt.

376
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,280
Matt Castle finds a way to go 11 and 6.

377
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,280
They don't even make the playoffs.

378
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,280
And then the division winner is the Jets, I think at 12 and 5 or something like that.

379
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,280
Or 12 and 4, you know, back in those 16 games.

380
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:43,280
And it's just, you are, the Chargers, you cannot allow the Chiefs to win ugly.

381
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,280
The Chiefs are not going to blow you out.

382
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,280
That has been proven.

383
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,280
They're not going to do it.

384
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,280
Against the worst teams in the league, they weren't blowing them out.

385
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,280
Especially the way the Vegas thought they should have.

386
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:59,280
So, if you're the Chargers here, this gets down to the Chiefs up three with eight minutes left.

387
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,280
And the Chargers have the ball.

388
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,280
You have to put together a touchdown drive.

389
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,280
You have to bleed the clock and put together that drive.

390
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:14,280
Like, it is crazy how the Chiefs are, it feels like every week, inventing ways to win football games.

391
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,280
But I think the Chargers, they're going to be taken seriously as a contender in the AFC.

392
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,280
If Jim Harbaugh is going to be taken seriously as the NFL head coach,

393
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:27,280
if Justin Herbert wants to be taken seriously as an elite quarterback, not just elite talent,

394
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,280
elite quarterback, you're going to have to win this game.

395
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,280
Preferably, you win it convincingly.

396
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,280
I don't think you can win it convincingly.

397
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,280
But if it's possible, you win this game by 14 points.

398
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,280
And then that will really show the NFL that you mean business.

399
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,280
It is not in my Jax pack.

400
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,280
I do think the Chargers get it done.

401
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,280
I think the Chargers escape maybe on the last second.

402
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,280
Field goal, touchdown about 10 seconds up.

403
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,280
Something where the Chiefs don't have a whole lot of time to come back.

404
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,280
But I do think that the Chargers ultimately escape.

405
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,280
And a few quick hitters.

406
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,280
Trevor Lawrence, we talked about that.

407
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,280
His AC joint surgery came out.

408
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,280
Micah Hyde has returned back to Buffalo for his eighth season in Buffalo.

409
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,280
He will retire after this season.

410
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,280
He's on their practice squad.

411
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:24,280
The Boston Ravens Yanate Johnson has been suspended for one game due to conduct

412
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,280
before refusing to enter a game when called upon.

413
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,280
And there's some kicker injury situations.

414
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,280
The Kansas City Chiefs are making another switch.

415
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,280
Scott Schrader has been injured.

416
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:43,280
He's headed to injury reserve, which means that Cade York won the cooking

417
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,280
competition at practice with the other kicker.

418
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:51,280
And so he will be the kicker for the...

419
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,280
I'm sorry.

420
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,280
I'm so sorry.

421
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,280
McPherson's out for Cincinnati Bengals.

422
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:02,280
That is how Cade York came to be in Cincinnati.

423
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,280
The Kansas City situation is that Matthew...

424
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,280
Is it Matthew Wright?

425
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,280
I think Matthew Wright...

426
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,280
Yes, Matthew Wright is stepping up for Kansas City after Schrader has gone down

427
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,280
and gone to injury reserve.

428
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:24,280
So Matthew Wright's in the kicker in Kansas City, and Cade York is a new kicker in

429
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,280
Sensi.

430
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,280
So that is all I have for your NFL Week 14.

431
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:52,280
And now we move into our NFL betting segment, Jax Pack.

432
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:57,280
Welcome back into the show.

433
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,280
And now we're going to talk about our NFL betting segment, Jax Pack.

434
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,280
Our pretty successful NFL betting segment, Jax Pack.

435
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,280
As of right now, we're sitting at 54% on the year, 35, 28, and 2.

436
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,280
We're sitting at 54%, which some people don't count ties because you get your

437
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,280
money back in the tie.

438
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,280
I mean, it could depend on what you do.

439
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,280
Some people get your money back in the tie.

440
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,280
Others say you didn't win, so you lose.

441
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,280
So we're going to count it as a loss.

442
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,280
We're going to count it against ourselves.

443
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,280
It's a tie.

444
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,280
We're going to count it against ourselves.

445
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,280
I do think ties, though, you get your money back.

446
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,280
I think it is one of those no-bet moments.

447
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,280
But we're going to count it against us.

448
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,280
So 54% on the year.

449
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:40,280
We're going to get that up a little higher to 56%, 57%, so we can get into that

450
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,280
professional betting range.

451
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:48,280
Because again, I said that before, but 57%, 56% and up covers all of your juices.

452
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,280
So you really, that's what professional bettors want to get.

453
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,280
Professional gamblers want to get in order to be deemed successful.

454
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,280
We were 2 and 3 last week, in my opinion.

455
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,280
One of those weeks where I think the process is right.

456
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,280
I love the numbers.

457
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,280
And it just didn't come together.

458
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,280
The Bears number looked great, and the Lions stopped scoring on the second half.

459
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,280
And then instead of getting four touchdowns on the first half, they had three field goals on the touchdown.

460
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,280
We had 18 points.

461
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:15,280
They win that game.

462
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,280
Cincinnati had the, the Bengals had the worst defense on planet Earth.

463
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,280
The Houston Texans, I don't know what they're doing right now.

464
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,280
And that was my three misses.

465
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,280
So, again, I thought the process was great.

466
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,280
It just didn't come together.

467
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,280
But I'm feeling good about the numbers this week.

468
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,280
Vegas is starting to auto-correct.

469
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,280
I didn't love any number at any point.

470
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,280
It was kind of hard putting these, putting these five together.

471
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,280
But looking at them, I think I'm on the right side of these bets.

472
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,280
So honestly, that's getting right to it.

473
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,280
Our first number is Eagles minus 13 versus the Panthers.

474
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,280
Take the Eagles, hammer the Eagles.

475
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,280
The way the Eagles play football, it's not conducive to a bad team.

476
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,280
If you're a bad team, you want to be spread out.

477
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,280
You want, you want passing concepts because you want to be able to peel off to the quarterback.

478
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:10,280
When you're bad, and the Eagles can lean on you and say, go on, and lean on you with Jaylen.

479
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,280
You know what I'm saying?

480
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:17,280
And lean on you with, ah, can't think of his name, but the other, but the smaller running back.

481
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,280
And they can just continue to lean on you and lean on you and just push you and sweep and lean and lean.

482
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:27,280
Eventually being a bad team, you're going to look up and you're down 24 to 10, and you're going to tap out of that game.

483
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,280
And the Eagles are designed to run the ball down your throat.

484
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:41,280
So it is to me going to get very, very ugly in the link, which is perfect for Philadelphia Eagles fans.

485
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Our second number is Bills minus four at the Rams.

486
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,280
Take the Bills.

487
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,280
The Bills have been thrashing everyone.

488
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:54,280
It's going to effectively feel like a Bills home game as the Rams just don't put butts in seats.

489
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,280
It's usually the other team.

490
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,280
And so it's going to feel somewhat like a Bills home game.

491
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:04,280
It's going to be a little warmer than they're accustomed to this time of year.

492
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:13,280
And, you know, it is absolutely in huge game for the Bills.

493
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,280
And like I said, the Rams, man, we talked about them a couple minutes ago.

494
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:21,280
They are enthralled and that NFC East make win the division or go home.

495
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:29,280
They are permanently embattled in that battle.

496
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,280
But the Rams just have to win this game.

497
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:40,280
They plan on any chance, in my opinion, of winning the NFC West and hosting a playoff game.

498
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,280
The Seattle Seahawks plus two and a half at the Arizona Cardinals.

499
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,280
This was a game that if it's even, I stay away from.

500
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:52,280
And I'm not even sure that the Seahawks are going to cover the two and a half.

501
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,280
I just don't, again, Arizona, just don't understand.

502
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,280
I don't think they're built to blow people out.

503
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,280
I think they're getting three points for home field.

504
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:05,280
If they were in neutral field, it'd be minus point five points to Seattle.

505
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:11,280
But it is a problem that Seattle's getting plus money.

506
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:23,280
I honestly thought that since Arizona and Seattle basically wasn't what I just thought that they would go, you know, neutral point here.

507
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,280
But what and what with home field advantage is a plus three.

508
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,280
So it makes sense. It makes sense.

509
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,280
As far as the betting side, I've got Seattle.

510
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,280
I just don't think they're going to get Kyle and Mary a lot of time.

511
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,280
I think they're going to have an interception sack party.

512
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:45,280
I think going to be a great time in the greater Northwest upon the Seahawks return.

513
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,280
Lions minus three over the Packers.

514
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,280
The Lions or the post-chopper blow somebody out.

515
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:56,280
I mean, they attempt to do it every single game.

516
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:02,280
And while I don't know if it'll happen fast against the Packers or slow against the Packers, but it's going to happen.

517
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,280
It's happened to every single opponent that they have had so far.

518
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:16,280
Sands the Bears, but the Lions are going to ramrod the Green Bay Packers.

519
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,280
But speaking of Green Bay Packers, they have a guy in Jordan Love.

520
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:25,280
They have a guy in Josh Jacobs who a lot of people are beginning to believe in those two specifically.

521
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:31,280
And if those two can set the tone, Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs, one by air and one by ground,

522
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,280
looking at potentially an upset with the Packers.

523
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:39,280
However, I just don't think there'll be enough to contend with the Lions.

524
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,280
And then lastly, Falcons plus six at Vikings.

525
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,280
Take the Falcons.

526
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,280
You get nearly a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings.

527
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:55,280
I mean, that, you know, while the Vikings defense has been really, really good,

528
00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:05,280
they have had their moments of, you know, just they've had their moments of just terrible defensive work.

529
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:11,280
And I think that it'll be helped a little bit by their offense with the Vikings.

530
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:17,280
I think if they get some offense going, it'll help their defense because you're not feeling like you have to be perfect

531
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,280
because you have a little bit of point cushion.

532
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,280
Or, you know, like if I'm not the best, I can get it to my offense and they're going to help.

533
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,280
And that helps their confidence.

534
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,280
So again, the numbers are Eagles minus 13 over the Panthers,

535
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:35,280
Bills minus four over the Rams, Seahawks plus two and a half over the Cardinals,

536
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:44,280
Lions minus three over the Packers and Falcons plus 10 over the Vikings.

537
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:49,280
I'm sorry, Falcons plus six over the Vikings.

538
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,280
Up next, we're going to shift to the Association, talk about what's going down there.

539
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:29,280
Welcome back into the show.

540
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:34,280
And now we're going to talk about the NBA and what is going down with the Association.

541
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,280
Really quickly, not a whole lot of NBA talk.

542
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,280
Talk about, we'll save that for the at football season.

543
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,280
You guys know that.

544
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,280
But I do want to get into some of these headlines going down.

545
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,280
So we have injuries in the NBA and feel like what's new.

546
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,280
Kevin Durant is out one or two weeks due to a left calf strain.

547
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,280
He'll be reevaluated in one week.

548
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,280
He just came back from a lower leg injury.

549
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,280
That's the issue when you get older.

550
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,280
For LeBron James, it looked like he hit a wall.

551
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:05,280
I don't think JJ Reddick finally was like, yeah, the whole 82 game thing feels unsustainable.

552
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,280
And it was like LeBron James hit a wall.

553
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,280
For Kevin Durant, he's up with lower leg injuries.

554
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,280
For Steph Curry, the explosions aren't there.

555
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,280
He can summon the greatness when he has to.

556
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:21,280
But it's just the big explosive moments aren't there as much.

557
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,280
For some of our legends, and like I said, you're getting injuries from Kevin Durant.

558
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:33,280
You're getting just over his last 23 from LeBron James and starting shooting three ball.

559
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,280
So that's just, it's just a hard time to watch.

560
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,280
But Kevin Durant is out with a left calf strain.

561
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,280
I love ankle sprain. I'm sorry. I love ankle sprain.

562
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:50,280
Zion Williamson is expected to miss at least another two more weeks due to his hamstring injury.

563
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:59,280
Sham Sharanya and the local Pelicans people have been in a beef because Sham Sharanya reports one thing and then local Pelicans report something else.

564
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,280
And it looks like Sham Sharanya has been right.

565
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,280
And so Sham says he's not close. He's months away.

566
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,280
Then Sham says the Pelicans announced he's out at least two more weeks.

567
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,280
Sham is saying that he's getting injections in the hamstring.

568
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:21,280
I just seen a recent video of him. He was at Trey Murphy's event.

569
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,280
It looked like he was heavier and it looked like he was like wobbling more.

570
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,280
Like he was like he was like trying to like not limp but limp.

571
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:34,280
So if he's limping, he is a long way away.

572
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:40,280
And if he's gaining weight, that means he's not really training that hard and he's even longer away.

573
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:45,280
I'm hoping both of those things aren't true. I'm hoping just a big green sweat suit.

574
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:52,280
And I would and he's not, you know, we're hoping for the eyes of March for his return date.

575
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,280
Like, you know, so hopefully that's not the case.

576
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,280
Hopefully it is two to three more weeks.

577
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:03,280
He's right. He's practicing for a hard week and he's on the court by New Year's Day.

578
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:08,280
And then Paul George and Joel Embiid, the most disappointed due on a very long time,

579
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,280
probably since Paul George and Corey Leonard continue to be out for games.

580
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,280
Embiid has only played, I think, in four games. He was Elza before.

581
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,280
Paul George may have been six.

582
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:26,280
I mean, these two have just, I mean, they're doing to the sixes worse than what Paul George and Corey did to the Clippers.

583
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:31,280
Took a lot of money, got a lot of get a whole lot of expectations, whole lot of eyes.

584
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:37,280
And then just don't show up, whether it's willingly or unwillingly.

585
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,280
They just don't show up.

586
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,280
The NBA Cup has reached the knockout round.

587
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:47,280
The final four in the East is Hawks versus Knicks, Magic versus Bucks.

588
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,280
And in the West, it is Mavs versus Thunder, Warrior versus Rockets.

589
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:57,280
The winner of each game will play in the semifinals in Vegas.

590
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:02,280
The winner of the semifinal game plays the bonus eighty third game,

591
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:11,280
which would be the NBA Cup championship that apparently doesn't count to his regular or postseason.

592
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,280
So there's that.

593
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,280
But that is what's happening in the NBA.

594
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,280
And then, of course, the Los Angeles Lakers look all over the place,

595
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,280
although they seem to have found something in rookie Dalton Connect.

596
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,280
And if you tell LeBron James no longer looks like he's an 80 year old man,

597
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:35,280
they are going to continue to struggle because he's going to play a lot of minutes while looking like said 80 year old man.

598
00:41:35,280 --> 00:42:00,280
What up next? We're going to shift to college football and talk about our two minute drill.

599
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:05,280
Welcome back into the show.

600
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:12,280
And now we are going to the college football two minute drill.

601
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,280
Now, you know, standard protocol, like we've been doing the past few weeks,

602
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,280
I have a list of topics I want to get through in college football.

603
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:25,280
But college football's newest obsession, something I'm sure we're going to see in the conference championship weekend,

604
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:31,280
along with the playoff, the two minute drill will come into effect at some point.

605
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,280
And so we're going to practice it now.

606
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:39,280
Two minutes haven't placed on the clock and my timer starts now.

607
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,280
Early signing day was today at the land of the flips.

608
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,280
I'm an LSU fan and I'm also running for Deion Sanders.

609
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,280
I'm keeping my eye on those two recruiting boys mostly.

610
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,280
LSU netted most of what they wanted to, lost Derrick Meadows to Alabama,

611
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:57,280
flip Solomon Thomas and Florida State. Of course, they already lost Brian Bryce Underwood and DJ Pickett,

612
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,280
Bryce Underwood and Cade Phillips, Underwood to Michigan Phillips to Texas.

613
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,280
Brian Kelly was very open about it.

614
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,280
Basically, your brand is going to have to have a financial backing.

615
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,280
You're no longer going to just be able to recruit on just your brand.

616
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,280
If you want to do this, you're going to have to have your finances,

617
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:18,280
which is why I think Deion Sanders is a huge fan of the portal because he can get kids out of the portal.

618
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:24,280
Yes, you have to pay kids out of the portal, but he feels he can prove it better with a proven kid out of the portal.

619
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:31,280
I can go to my boosters, I can go to my fundraisers and raise money for a kid they've seen play just to post some high school.

620
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,280
They would just tell them it's good.

621
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,280
So I think that's going to be the next big thing.

622
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:43,280
Championship weekend is having to have massive implications on the college football field.

623
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,280
You're looking at Boise State.

624
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,280
They're trying to play their way in and Ashton Jennings solo showcase.

625
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:54,280
Travis Hunter is not playing along with Ken Ward.

626
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,280
Neither are playing on championship weekend.

627
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,280
Ashton Jennings is.

628
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,280
This year's hand is show up.

629
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,280
You're looking at Texan, Georgia, two teams that are in.

630
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,280
Penn State, Oregon, two teams that are in.

631
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,280
Clemson, by way of winning, could knock Alabama out of the playoff.

632
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,280
And the winner of Iowa State, Arizona State picks up the big 12 slot.

633
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,280
So that could be a huge all around moment there.

634
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,280
The transfer portal is going to be very interesting.

635
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,280
No monster names running yet.

636
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,280
That quarterback from Liberty is going to command a very high paycheck.

637
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,280
Slotter, I believe, is his name.

638
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,280
He's going to command a very high paycheck in the portal.

639
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,280
LSU, like I said, turned out pretty fine.

640
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,280
We netted two of our cornerbacks.

641
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:32,280
We flipped in Solomon Thomas.

642
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,280
We are going to be fine there.

643
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,280
Colorado did a very good job with their freshman crew.

644
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,280
They're going to murder the portal.

645
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,280
And the Cosmoplayoff is fixable.

646
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,280
But we will talk about the playoff probably after the last ranking.

647
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,280
Next time.

648
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:46,280
Whew.

649
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,280
That's a heck of a two minute drill.

650
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,280
The ball was in the air when I got that last thing off.

651
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,280
It's not the ball.

652
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,280
But that is all I have for you today.
