This time 00:02:29.110 --> 00:02:30.849 on a Wednesday morning by the time you guys hear 00:02:30.849 --> 00:02:32.689 this.

But 00:02:44.449 --> 00:02:48.250 I am over the moon excited to be back in the 00:02:48.250 --> 00:02:50.590 studio talking to you guys, the Justin Time Sports 00:02:50.590 --> 00:02:53.370 family, whether that be you listen to the show 00:02:53.370 --> 00:02:55.710 and only follow Instagram or you follow on Twitter 00:02:55.710 --> 00:03:00.409 or Facebook or threads or you just listen to 00:03:00.409 --> 00:03:02.550 the podcast.

And also shows when you guys 00:03:10.460 --> 00:03:12.439 are supporting, right? Because if you guys rate 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.479 an episode that's about basketball or lower, 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.099 I know you guys want football. If you rate a 00:03:18.099 --> 00:03:20.379 football show lower than a basketball show, I 00:03:20.379 --> 00:03:22.099 may think you like basketball. Maybe I'll talk 00:03:22.099 --> 00:03:25.439 about your team. Who knows, right? But regardless, 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.780 I want you to like, rate, subscribe, review, 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.740 and share honestly your honest opinion on that, 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.360 right? Because it helps us at JTS when I get 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.900 that feedback. But you guys want to hear about 00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:41.620 feedback. You guys want to hear about what's 00:03:41.620 --> 00:03:43.580 going to help me. You want to hear about my thoughts 00:03:43.580 --> 00:03:47.639 on a wild and wacky NFL week. This is why you 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:49.419 love NFL, man. This is why you love football, 00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:52.759 why you love the NFL. When it comes down to professional 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.620 teams, most games are decided by three -ish points. 00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:57.879 Anywhere from three to about four and a half 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.740 is most of the games in the NFL. And we've had 00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:05.439 a wild and wacky weekend. Let's get started off 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.629 in Philly. So Philly comes out there, and we've 00:04:10.629 --> 00:04:16.709 been hearing seeds of dissension lately in Philly. 00:04:16.810 --> 00:04:20.069 It's popped out in A .J. Brown's Instagram. It's 00:04:20.069 --> 00:04:23.990 popped out privately with Devontae Smith. It's 00:04:23.990 --> 00:04:28.129 even showed up in Saquon Barkley. And the complaints 00:04:28.129 --> 00:04:31.720 are the offense isn't good. Like, yes, we're 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.899 winning games. Yes, we're finding a way. But 00:04:33.899 --> 00:04:35.920 the offense is unproductive, and it's unproductive 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.939 for everybody. It's not like last year when passing 00:04:38.939 --> 00:04:40.720 attack was down and Jalen Hurts didn't go for 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.959 3 ,000 yards, so on and so forth. But Saquon 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:47.199 Barkley darn near breaks the NFL rushing record. 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.639 He said, okay, I can see where the offense is. 00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:52.459 We're still scoring a bunch of points. I get 00:04:52.459 --> 00:04:55.079 my opportunities when I get them. You know, timely 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.600 passes, timely completions, whatever. But it's 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.360 set up to where, you know, We are still pretty 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.540 productive offense. Well, the NFL is loaded up 00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:07.040 and decided, Saquon Barkley, you're not going 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.899 to beat us this year. So a lot of teams are taking 00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:14.399 Saquon away. When that happens, two Pro Bowl, 00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:16.600 all Pro level receivers and a Super Bowl winning 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.879 quarterback should be able to take advantage 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:21.819 of one -on -one coverage, so on and so forth. 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.139 And they are not. I mean, out of, oh my God, 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.300 I don't know the exact number of halves. But 00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:33.060 this season in the NFL, just five weeks, you 00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:36.199 get two halves a game, 32, 64 times five. What's 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:42.500 that? 320 -ish halves of quarterback play has 00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:45.639 happened in the NFL this year. Jalen Hurts probably 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.779 has the two worst ones. He was 0 for 8 two weeks 00:05:49.779 --> 00:05:51.439 ago, and they found a way to win the game in 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.110 the second half. And then in another game, he 00:05:55.110 --> 00:05:59.170 was absolutely terrible as well. And again, same 00:05:59.170 --> 00:06:00.689 thing. They found a way to win it. They blocked 00:06:00.689 --> 00:06:02.610 field goals and all kinds of stuff and found 00:06:02.610 --> 00:06:04.730 a way to win the game. Well, they played the 00:06:04.730 --> 00:06:07.670 Denver Broncos. In another one of those, the 00:06:07.670 --> 00:06:10.550 offense is off. Now, they gave a concerted effort 00:06:10.550 --> 00:06:13.029 to pass the ball to Devontae Smith and A .J. 00:06:13.050 --> 00:06:16.310 Brown and really, truly abandoned their strength 00:06:16.310 --> 00:06:19.910 with this run on the ball. And it started off 00:06:19.910 --> 00:06:24.970 decent early. You know, nothing real, nothing 00:06:24.970 --> 00:06:31.829 real nervous. Nothing real concerning at all. 00:06:32.149 --> 00:06:35.529 Run game could have been better, but they were 00:06:35.529 --> 00:06:37.790 getting the ball to their stars. And you saw 00:06:37.790 --> 00:06:40.810 happy A .J. Brown and happy Devontae Smith and 00:06:40.810 --> 00:06:45.410 so on and so forth. Right. And then when it got 00:06:45.410 --> 00:06:48.009 to the crunch time, it got down to the nitty 00:06:48.009 --> 00:06:50.350 gritty. And the Eagles just couldn't put the 00:06:50.350 --> 00:06:52.379 Broncos away. One of the better defenses in the 00:06:52.379 --> 00:06:56.560 league. Several high -paid players on it. They've 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.879 got a good defensive coordinator. And the Broncos 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.139 just couldn't put the Broncos away. Ultimately, 00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:06.939 the Broncos win the game 21 -17, and it was like 00:07:06.939 --> 00:07:12.199 the floodgates opened. Now, earlier that day, 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:21.790 a report came out by Diana Rossini. So Rossini, 00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:27.750 Diana, she puts out a report basically lambasting 00:07:27.750 --> 00:07:32.410 the Philadelphia Eagles offense. And it also 00:07:32.410 --> 00:07:37.189 had several points of frustration from their 00:07:37.189 --> 00:07:40.410 best two receivers in A .J. Brown and Devontae 00:07:40.410 --> 00:07:43.449 Smith. Now, Devontae Smith is an Alabama Nick 00:07:43.449 --> 00:07:45.649 Saban kind of guy. He's not going to say a word 00:07:45.649 --> 00:07:50.910 publicly. Excuse me, A .J. Brown has let multiple 00:07:50.910 --> 00:07:55.350 things slip publicly. Interviews, Instagram stories, 00:07:55.730 --> 00:07:59.509 anything to get his point across. He has let 00:07:59.509 --> 00:08:05.250 it be known. I think that there's a offensive 00:08:05.250 --> 00:08:10.629 problem in Philly that has been masked or perfumed 00:08:10.629 --> 00:08:15.620 by winning. that the problem is there the organization 00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:17.519 knows the problem is there everyone knows the 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.439 problem is there but it has been masked or covered 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:26.839 or perfumed by winning because what's the first 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.939 thing everybody went to where you're complaining 00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:31.540 but you're winning oh yeah you don't get your 00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:33.480 you're not getting your numbers but you're winning 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.600 oh you're not getting 10 12 targets a game but 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:40.570 you're winning that was everyone's kind of Everyone's 00:08:40.570 --> 00:08:42.529 kind of thing. Well, if I'm getting more and 00:08:42.529 --> 00:08:44.269 more frustrated, more and more frustrated, regardless 00:08:44.269 --> 00:08:48.250 of how much winning we do, the second we don't, 00:08:48.250 --> 00:08:52.149 that veil is gone. And it's pure frustration. 00:08:52.210 --> 00:08:55.909 I think that's where A .J. Brown is currently. 00:08:56.129 --> 00:08:58.350 It's just the veil of winning is gone. Yes, they 00:08:58.350 --> 00:08:59.950 won a Super Bowl. Yes, they hadn't lost since 00:08:59.950 --> 00:09:01.350 week eight or something like that of last season. 00:09:01.409 --> 00:09:05.929 So, great. The veil was gone when they lost to 00:09:05.929 --> 00:09:08.789 the Denver Broncos. following in and up second 00:09:08.789 --> 00:09:13.549 half offensively. And just the pattern continue. 00:09:14.149 --> 00:09:16.309 If you're an A .J. Brown, if you're a Devontae 00:09:16.309 --> 00:09:18.950 Smith, the pattern of just not being good enough 00:09:18.950 --> 00:09:21.230 offensively continued in that game. Now, granted, 00:09:21.289 --> 00:09:23.009 Denver, like I said, is one of the best defenses 00:09:23.009 --> 00:09:26.929 in the league, but it happened again. And so 00:09:26.929 --> 00:09:29.370 something's going on in Philly. I think a move's 00:09:29.370 --> 00:09:31.110 going to have to get made. I can see A .J. Brown 00:09:31.110 --> 00:09:33.490 being traded. I don't know to where. I would 00:09:33.490 --> 00:09:34.970 love it to be New England, but I don't know to 00:09:34.970 --> 00:09:39.240 where. And kind of getting resolution on this 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.960 situation in Philly because right now it is toxic 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.080 for everybody. I don't think anybody's having 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:48.779 fun right now in Philly. And so that is a major 00:09:48.779 --> 00:09:53.679 problem. But going from bad offenses to great 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.220 offenses to otherworldly offenses and otherworldly 00:09:57.220 --> 00:09:59.240 uniforms, the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.759 Bay Buccaneers have one of the best quarterback 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.519 games. I mean, probably the best quarterback 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:08.059 game you'll see. All season. Also, two of the 00:10:08.059 --> 00:10:10.980 coolest uniforms. Tampa with the white throwback 00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:13.879 to the swashbuckler days. Not the creamsicles, 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.320 but the white version. And the Seahawks flashback 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.480 to the Steve Largent era. Baby blue, sky blue, 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:26.799 bright green uniforms they sported. I mean, probably 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.960 it was the best uniform combination battle all 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.539 season. And it was one of, if not the best, quarterback 00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:36.649 game. all season. At one point, Sam Darnold and 00:10:36.649 --> 00:10:40.730 Baker Mayfield, it was early fourth quarter. 00:10:41.110 --> 00:10:43.830 Not quite mid, early fourth quarter. They had 00:10:43.830 --> 00:10:46.230 seven total incompletions. They were combined 00:10:46.230 --> 00:10:52.649 like 60 of 67 or something like that. Early in 00:10:52.649 --> 00:10:55.629 the fourth quarter. It was insane. This is a 00:10:55.629 --> 00:10:57.210 battle of the number one overall pick in Baker 00:10:57.210 --> 00:10:59.330 Mayfield and the third overall pick in Sam Darnold. 00:10:59.429 --> 00:11:02.029 Both guys have gone through the ringer in their 00:11:02.029 --> 00:11:05.480 respective original franchises. Baker, in cleveland 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.240 uh sam in new york and it's kind of what i was 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.639 saying last week and i kind of circled this game 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:16.159 last week i said you know these guys had the 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.559 opposite paths in college right donald was the 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.659 high level prospect that went to usc was on scholarship 00:11:22.659 --> 00:11:25.440 and was the man sophomore junior year and what 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.379 came out and was the number three overall pick 00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:30.019 and right and got dropped into new york media 00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:33.289 baker Came up the rough side of the mountain. 00:11:33.429 --> 00:11:36.850 He chose to be a walk -on twice. He wins the 00:11:36.850 --> 00:11:40.549 Heisman Trophy. He becomes, I don't think Baker 00:11:40.549 --> 00:11:43.730 went one. I can't think of right now. But he 00:11:43.730 --> 00:11:45.370 becomes a first -round pick. I'm pretty sure 00:11:45.370 --> 00:11:47.850 it wasn't one. He becomes a first -round pick. 00:11:48.009 --> 00:11:50.529 And where does he get dropped off into? Cleveland. 00:11:51.149 --> 00:11:53.870 To come back up the rough side of the mountain 00:11:53.870 --> 00:12:01.240 again. I mean, and so. However, oh yeah, he was 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:02.340 number one. Okay, yeah, he was number one in 00:12:02.340 --> 00:12:07.139 2018. However, I say once they got to the NFL, 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:13.279 their careers have looked awfully similar. They 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.559 both go to, one go to New York, one go to Cleveland, 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.279 two poverty franchises. At one point, they're 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:21.620 on Carolina together. Both started games for 00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:25.519 Carolina. They leave Carolina. Donald ends up 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:34.559 in Minnesota. Baker ends up in Tampa. Both have 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:38.559 their resurgence. Darnold in Minnesota. Baker 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:43.100 in Tampa. And then both go get fairly comparable 00:12:43.100 --> 00:12:46.419 NFL contracts. Darnold got his from Seattle. 00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:50.659 Baker got his in Tampa. And Sunday they met. 00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:55.200 And they met. I mean, it was a quarterback masterclass 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.860 on both sides. To Darnold late. gets bumped on 00:12:58.860 --> 00:13:01.460 a pass, he goes short, Tampa picks it, and he 00:13:01.460 --> 00:13:04.080 went in on a field goal. 38 -35, I mean, it was 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:08.120 a master class of quarterbacking. It showed why 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.200 both of them were top three picks. It showed 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:12.799 why Baker has a Heisman. It showed why Sam McDonald 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.940 was, you know, one of them, not the top quarterback 00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:20.299 in his high school class. I mean, it was an absolute 00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:24.019 show to put into context. What this game was, 00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:27.539 and it ended up being 4 -1 Tampa against 3 -2 00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:34.519 Seattle. Baker Mayfield went 29 of 33, 379 yards, 00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:37.879 two touchdowns, and a QBR of 90, and a passer 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.480 rating of 134 .7. So QBR has a max score of 100, 00:13:41.700 --> 00:13:45.669 passer rating has a max score of 158 .3. Darnold 00:13:45.669 --> 00:13:50.450 was 28 of 34, 341, 4 touchdowns, that pick we 00:13:50.450 --> 00:13:54.610 just mentioned, a QBR of 95 .8 out of 100, and 00:13:54.610 --> 00:14:01.549 a passer rating of 135 .4 out of 158 .3. Combined, 00:14:01.549 --> 00:14:08.299 they had 10 incompletions on 77 attempts. I mean, 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.000 we're talking otherworldly numbers. I mean, they 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.879 were the first quarterback duo to go for 350 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.759 and four touchdowns. I mean, they were just going, 00:14:15.940 --> 00:14:18.399 I mean, all kind of completion and yard and touchdown, 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.500 you know, first time ever. That game was a quarterback 00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:26.720 masterclass between Sam Donald and Baker Mayfield, 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.440 and I was glad we had the opportunity to watch 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.409 it. The Arizona Cardinals won't spend a lot of 00:14:33.409 --> 00:14:35.309 time on this, but the Arizona Cardinals made 00:14:35.309 --> 00:14:37.389 the wave, made the headlines whenever they lost 00:14:37.389 --> 00:14:41.309 to the Tennessee Titans. The reason why, A, Titans 00:14:41.309 --> 00:14:43.990 first win, B, the Arizona Cardinals lost that. 00:14:44.070 --> 00:14:46.429 The Arizona Cardinals found a way to pull defeat 00:14:46.429 --> 00:14:49.350 from the jaws of victory. They were up 21 -7. 00:14:49.549 --> 00:14:52.350 Running back breaks a long run. He drops the 00:14:52.350 --> 00:14:55.789 ball on the half yard line, leads to a touchback. 00:14:55.889 --> 00:14:58.669 So instead of the Cardinals going up 28 -7, probably 00:14:58.669 --> 00:15:02.100 killing the will. of the Tennessee Titans it 00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:05.500 ends up being Titans have new life and then they 00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:07.740 make it interesting so interesting in fact that 00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:11.700 at one point Cam Ward throws a pick the Arizona 00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:16.100 Cardinals fumble it fumble the pick kicks it 00:15:16.100 --> 00:15:19.360 around it ends up in the end zone for the Titans 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.639 to fall on it for the touchdown so an interception 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.559 thrown by Cam Ward results in a touchdown for 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:30.500 the Titans on the same play Like I said, the 00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:34.340 Cardinals found a way to pull defeat from the 00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:39.379 jaws of victory. So much so that Jonathan Gannon, 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:41.559 and we're going to talk about this in our news 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:45.480 section, ends up fined $100 ,000 for his outbursts 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.860 and physical contact with the running back who 00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:49.559 dropped the ball that would have all but ended 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:54.299 the game 28 -7. The Arizona Cardinals, I mean, 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.860 after starting out pretty decent, have kind of 00:15:56.860 --> 00:16:00.559 slid in a little bit. They're on a snide. The 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.240 Arizona Cardinals, as we sit here today, is now 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:08.820 2 -3. And again, they're currently on the snide, 00:16:08.940 --> 00:16:15.360 not having, you know, won a game that many, myself 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.179 included, not even penciled in, chiseled in as 00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:21.679 a W, especially when the running back was breaking 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:27.059 in the open field to go up 28 -7. So very interesting 00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:31.429 in Arizona. And to our primetime games, our Sunday 00:16:31.429 --> 00:16:34.090 night and our Monday night, my New England Patriots, 00:16:34.090 --> 00:16:36.889 also Jai's New England Patriots. You'll see him 00:16:36.889 --> 00:16:40.070 on the JTS YouTube show and the Hey Jai podcast. 00:16:40.870 --> 00:16:44.789 Jai and my New England Patriots defeat the Buffalo 00:16:44.789 --> 00:16:48.889 Bills in Buffalo 23 -20 in what's being named 00:16:48.889 --> 00:16:53.149 the Stephon Biggs Revenge Game. It was Diggs' 00:16:53.250 --> 00:16:55.590 first time being in Highland Park, I think it's 00:16:55.590 --> 00:16:57.250 Highland Park or High Point Park, whatever it 00:16:57.250 --> 00:17:02.509 is, Highmark Park, who cares, since he was traded. 00:17:02.570 --> 00:17:06.250 Because even when he went to Houston, he didn't 00:17:06.250 --> 00:17:07.930 play them and he had a 20 sale and so on and 00:17:07.930 --> 00:17:10.390 so forth. Anyway, it was his first time being 00:17:10.390 --> 00:17:13.069 back and it was a Stephon Diggs legacy game. 00:17:13.650 --> 00:17:16.410 Drake May looks spectacular. Welcome to the Top 00:17:16.410 --> 00:17:20.539 10 Club, kid. I mean, he was making a play all 00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:22.559 over the field, very similar to what Josh Allen 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.480 was doing on the other side. Ultimately, Drake 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.259 May made the plays that he had to make, and his 00:17:29.259 --> 00:17:33.960 defense didn't get the blunders that Buffalo's 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.339 defense got at certain moments. But kudos to 00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:40.319 Drake May. Kudos to Mike Vrabel. Kudos to the 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.180 entire Patriots organization, staff, and fan 00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:45.940 base. We have our guy at quarterback and head 00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:49.869 coach for the next seven, ten years. It's a great 00:17:49.869 --> 00:17:54.109 feeling. And then lastly, the Kansas City Chiefs, 00:17:54.109 --> 00:17:56.450 or should I say the Jacksonville Jaguars, fall 00:17:56.450 --> 00:17:59.089 their way into victory against the Kansas City 00:17:59.089 --> 00:18:01.569 Chiefs in a game that was pretty wild, actually. 00:18:01.609 --> 00:18:04.390 Another one of those topsy -turvy games. Chiefs 00:18:04.390 --> 00:18:09.029 get a lead, 14 -0. Jaguars bring it back. At 00:18:09.029 --> 00:18:10.789 one point, you think there's a big kickoff in 00:18:10.789 --> 00:18:13.470 Kansas City. Turns out there's a kickoff violation. 00:18:15.049 --> 00:18:20.720 And then... What an absolute show by Trevor Lawrence 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:23.859 late. He managed the clock perfectly. Even though 00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:27.539 he stumbles, gets stepped on, falls, and doesn't 00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:29.559 have the prettiest, most graceful game -winning 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.460 touchdown, it still was a game -winning touchdown. 00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:36.220 And the defense ended up holding the last few 00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:40.619 seconds. Travis Hunter was used more as a two 00:18:40.619 --> 00:18:44.099 -way player. He played... About 60 -ish total 00:18:44.099 --> 00:18:46.680 snaps, 30 -something on offense, 20 -something 00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:48.680 on defense, 30 -something on offense. Regardless, 00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:53.140 it was slightly leaned one direction. He made 00:18:53.140 --> 00:18:55.480 a couple of highlights. He got a deflection, 00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.339 and he had the crazy catch on offense when he 00:18:58.339 --> 00:19:00.519 ends up being dropped on his back. Pretty high 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.720 up, but he gets up and continues the game, of 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.660 course. He had an injury scare on point, but 00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:10.950 he came back in and finished the game. But shout 00:19:10.950 --> 00:19:12.990 out Jacksonville, 4 -1 for the first time in 00:19:12.990 --> 00:19:16.710 a very long time. Shout out Liam Cohen, the Baker 00:19:16.710 --> 00:19:18.630 Mayfield's old offensive coordinator. He's the 00:19:18.630 --> 00:19:21.089 head coach in Jacksonville. So shout out him 00:19:21.089 --> 00:19:26.369 for, you know, having that team be 4 -1. And 00:19:26.369 --> 00:19:28.369 then a little quick hitter news. We already discussed 00:19:28.369 --> 00:19:31.630 the $100 ,000 fine for Jonathan Gannon for his 00:19:31.630 --> 00:19:34.470 contact on the sideline. The NFL is fining Jerry 00:19:34.470 --> 00:19:38.420 Jones, owner of the Cowboys, $250 ,000. Due to 00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:40.940 his actions regarding flipping off fans at MetLife 00:19:40.940 --> 00:19:43.640 Stadium, Jerry calls the incident unfortunate. 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.700 Odell Beckham was suspended by the NFL for illegal 00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:52.240 use of PEDs last season. He would not be eligible 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.579 to sign with the team or participate with the 00:19:54.579 --> 00:20:02.339 team for another six weeks. Trades. A couple 00:20:02.339 --> 00:20:06.960 of trades went down. So, Joe Flacco. And a sixth 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.200 -round pick was traded to the Cleveland Browns, 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:13.160 or sorry, Cincinnati Bengals, rather, for a fifth 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:15.420 -round pick. And the Bengals are trying to get 00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:17.759 Joe Flacco ready to play on Sunday. They are 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:22.640 officially moving on to Joe Flacco. And Owe. 00:20:23.259 --> 00:20:25.839 Of the Baltimore Ravens was traded to the Chargers 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.779 in exchange for a safety or DB whose name escapes 00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:31.220 me right this second. And speaking of Baltimore, 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.680 TJ Garner Johnson has signed a deal to be on 00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.619 the Baltimore practice squad with a plan in place 00:20:37.619 --> 00:20:41.319 for elevation to the main roster. But up next, 00:20:41.420 --> 00:21:03.110 we are going to talk about NFL week six. Welcome 00:21:03.110 --> 00:21:09.309 back into the show. And now we are going to jump 00:21:09.309 --> 00:21:12.490 into NFL week six. We're going to get started 00:21:12.490 --> 00:21:15.069 off with a Thursday night preview, kind of talking 00:21:15.069 --> 00:21:17.650 about those Eagles. So those Eagles are playing 00:21:17.650 --> 00:21:20.390 the Giants, right? And we're Jackson darts a 00:21:20.390 --> 00:21:24.150 little beat up and it's a short weekend. I remember 00:21:24.150 --> 00:21:27.309 on the YouTube show. we were kind of talking 00:21:27.309 --> 00:21:29.109 about the jackson dart thing and i was like it's 00:21:29.109 --> 00:21:31.069 gonna be after this stretch because there's a 00:21:31.069 --> 00:21:34.410 stretch where it's like philly somebody else 00:21:34.410 --> 00:21:36.769 i think philly niners philly again i think for 00:21:36.769 --> 00:21:39.829 new york oh and i was looking at man that's gonna 00:21:39.829 --> 00:21:46.589 be tough for jackson dart if he has to get dropped 00:21:46.589 --> 00:21:50.349 in anywhere near that mix you know the quote 00:21:50.349 --> 00:21:53.250 -unquote landing spot is the saints but then 00:21:53.250 --> 00:21:58.450 after that it's Philly on a short week. Broncos. 00:21:59.109 --> 00:22:03.609 Back to Philly. Niners. Bears, kind of a soft 00:22:03.609 --> 00:22:09.950 spot. Packers. Lions. Patriots. Commanders. Vikings. 00:22:10.430 --> 00:22:15.769 You ended with the Raiders and the Cowboys. I 00:22:15.769 --> 00:22:19.910 would have waited until after Eagles won because 00:22:19.910 --> 00:22:22.710 then you get the 10 days before Denver. To kind 00:22:22.710 --> 00:22:24.690 of get them ready and have them ready to go. 00:22:25.089 --> 00:22:27.410 And that was my point. I said, there's no easy 00:22:27.410 --> 00:22:29.569 spot there. But I said, if you're going to do 00:22:29.569 --> 00:22:32.250 it, do it after Eagles won. Because you have 00:22:32.250 --> 00:22:36.769 the 10 days before you play Sunday. So you basically 00:22:36.769 --> 00:22:38.589 get them a two -week prep period for Denver. 00:22:40.509 --> 00:22:43.190 They didn't. He's on the field already. But now 00:22:43.190 --> 00:22:45.210 he gets to play an Eagles team that's probably 00:22:45.210 --> 00:22:47.970 coming apart. Hopefully not. But potentially 00:22:47.970 --> 00:22:49.890 coming apart at the seams. But if they aren't, 00:22:49.910 --> 00:22:52.190 they're pissed off and they're united. And they're 00:22:52.190 --> 00:22:54.490 going to play you, Jackson Dart, who's beat up. 00:22:55.609 --> 00:22:58.849 Very interesting that a QB was traded, Joe Flacco, 00:22:59.069 --> 00:23:02.390 intra -division trade, juxtaposed to Cleveland 00:23:02.390 --> 00:23:04.589 or Cincinnati, rather making a phone call to 00:23:04.589 --> 00:23:07.549 New York for Jameis. I find that very interesting, 00:23:07.690 --> 00:23:11.089 the fact that Jameis Winston and a sixth didn't 00:23:11.089 --> 00:23:18.750 go to Cincinnati. for a fifth. I find that very 00:23:18.750 --> 00:23:20.630 interesting that that didn't happen. It was Joe 00:23:20.630 --> 00:23:25.589 Flacco in a six to Cincy for a fifth. But that's 00:23:25.589 --> 00:23:28.829 interesting. But nonetheless, that is kind of 00:23:28.829 --> 00:23:30.410 the game there. I expect the field to come out 00:23:30.410 --> 00:23:33.049 and roll here. New Orleans handled New York. 00:23:33.769 --> 00:23:36.509 The first thing was they got in front. The first 00:23:36.509 --> 00:23:39.109 snap that New Orleans had all season with the 00:23:39.109 --> 00:23:43.440 lead offensively happened in that game. And so 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:50.019 New York, like I said, losing 31 -19. New Orleans 00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:52.400 took control and handled New York the rest of 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.019 the way. I expect Philly to come out. Pound the 00:23:56.019 --> 00:23:59.099 ball, get some quick throw, easy money throws 00:23:59.099 --> 00:24:01.099 to Devontae and A .J., kind of keep them at bay. 00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:03.720 But I expect one of those Saquon Barkley games 00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.299 where it's, you know, 20 carries for a buck 35, 00:24:06.420 --> 00:24:10.000 couple of touchdowns. Jalen Hurtspring is going 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.759 to push two passing touchdowns. You're looking 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:17.299 at 35 -10 Philly. It's kind of what I'm expecting. 00:24:17.339 --> 00:24:19.480 I don't expect much out of the Giants here. I 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.119 expect this game to be, quote -unquote, over 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:24.339 relatively quickly. And that is kind of where 00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:27.410 I'm at. All right, but let's get into some games. 00:24:27.549 --> 00:24:30.210 I am interested in a whole heck of a lot this 00:24:30.210 --> 00:24:33.750 week. Cardinals at Colts. Colts are six and a 00:24:33.750 --> 00:24:35.950 half point favorites. Now this kind of goes back 00:24:35.950 --> 00:24:39.670 to my sentiment of the Cardinals pulled defeat 00:24:39.670 --> 00:24:43.849 from the jaws of victory. They were up. They 00:24:43.849 --> 00:24:48.430 were running into the end zone to go up 28 -7. 00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.539 and instead they drop it, immediate 14 -point 00:24:52.539 --> 00:24:56.700 swing, and momentum is killed, and sideline kerfuffles, 00:24:56.700 --> 00:25:01.099 and so on and so forth. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis 00:25:01.099 --> 00:25:04.779 Colts, led by Indiana Jones himself, Daniel Jones, 00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:11.180 Danny Dimes, they are one of the NFL's best teams. 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:13.819 They're 4 -1. Jonathan Taylor looks like a legitimate 00:25:13.819 --> 00:25:16.200 player, Officer Player of the Year candidate. 00:25:16.990 --> 00:25:19.650 They are absolutely exciting to watch right now. 00:25:19.730 --> 00:25:22.190 The resurgence of Daniel Jones is something to 00:25:22.190 --> 00:25:25.390 behold. Another quarterback that has escaped 00:25:25.390 --> 00:25:28.430 the situation looked a lot better. So, Donovan 00:25:28.430 --> 00:25:30.410 and Baker both escaped Cleveland, New York, and 00:25:30.410 --> 00:25:35.869 Carolina, respectively. Daniel Jones has escaped 00:25:35.869 --> 00:25:37.650 New York, and we talked about that on the YouTube 00:25:37.650 --> 00:25:41.690 show as well. Saquon Barkley, after New York, 00:25:41.710 --> 00:25:44.569 was a different player. Daniel Jones, after New 00:25:44.569 --> 00:25:47.039 York, was a different player. Brian Day will 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.500 be his offensive guy. The two best offensive 00:25:49.500 --> 00:25:52.440 guys he's had since he's been in New York both 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.880 have looked better after leaving New York. Which 00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.019 is saying something. Which is saying something. 00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:01.420 Maybe he laid the foundation? I don't know. But 00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:03.680 I do know whenever they are no longer on New 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:05.420 York, they are one of the best players in the 00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:08.720 league. And, you know, the six and a half points 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:12.569 reflect that. I think Arizona covers. But I think 00:26:12.569 --> 00:26:14.710 Indianapolis wins the game. I think it's closer 00:26:14.710 --> 00:26:16.650 than six and a half. I think it's about four. 00:26:16.809 --> 00:26:21.509 I think it ends about 28 -24. But I still think 00:26:21.509 --> 00:26:26.589 Indiana finds a way to win the game late to go 00:26:26.589 --> 00:26:31.890 at 28 -24 and to keep it that way. The Seattle 00:26:31.890 --> 00:26:35.430 Seahawks at the Jacksonville Jaguars. So Seattle 00:26:35.430 --> 00:26:39.509 just battled against Tampa. Now they go at Jacksonville. 00:26:39.769 --> 00:26:43.109 Jacksonville is on cloud 100 after beating the 00:26:43.109 --> 00:26:47.950 Chiefs. They are 4 -1. I believe there are two 00:26:47.950 --> 00:26:51.710 games clear now of Kansas City. So absolutely 00:26:51.710 --> 00:26:54.930 spectacular weekend for Jacksonville and the 00:26:54.930 --> 00:26:57.589 Seattle Seahawks, who probably feel like they 00:26:57.589 --> 00:26:59.210 should have beaten the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 00:26:59.210 --> 00:27:02.150 And if they want to make that case, I would second 00:27:02.150 --> 00:27:05.440 it, honestly. uh tembe buccaneer they should 00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:09.140 have beaten them um but they didn't right and 00:27:09.140 --> 00:27:11.319 so i think that is reflected in the points parade 00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:13.680 it's only one and a half points now there is 00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:15.799 a long way to go from seattle to jacksonville 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:21.059 but jacksonville had a roaring home crowd um 00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:25.700 on monday night for the team against the Chiefs. 00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:27.859 If they get similar, it's going to be hard for 00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:29.759 Seattle to win the game. Now, Seattle is used 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:33.700 to the Thunderdome, basically. In Seattle, that's 00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:36.059 curved and desire to bounce sound waves off, 00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.740 so on and so forth. But it's different when it's 00:27:38.740 --> 00:27:43.180 against you and when it is for you. So, that 00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:44.440 is definitely something to keep your eye on there. 00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.500 With Seahawks at Jags. Jags are one and a half 00:27:48.500 --> 00:27:52.559 point favorites. I'm going to lean win and point 00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:55.420 spread, of course. To Jacksonville. It's really 00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:56.779 hard to win a game by a point. It's possible. 00:27:57.099 --> 00:27:59.660 But it is incredibly difficult. So I'm going 00:27:59.660 --> 00:28:02.799 to give point spread. And win to Jacksonville. 00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:10.880 The San Francisco 49ers. At the Tampa Bay Bucks. 00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:14.740 So the other half. Of that epic QB duel. He faces 00:28:14.740 --> 00:28:16.779 the San Francisco 49ers. Ironically in the same 00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:20.480 division as the Seahawks. So, obviously, the 00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:23.720 Niners cannot match that explosiveness. Yes, 00:28:23.819 --> 00:28:26.579 they've been throwing their ball around all over 00:28:26.579 --> 00:28:30.140 the yard, you know, with 50 pass attempts or 00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:31.299 something like that in their last game. They 00:28:31.299 --> 00:28:35.400 can send it all through the ball 49 times. Absolutely 00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:38.019 insane amount of throws in the game, especially 00:28:38.019 --> 00:28:40.779 in the NFL. That's an air -raid college number. 00:28:40.900 --> 00:28:43.839 49 attempts, that's an air -raid college number. 00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:45.960 They got that done in the NFL. That's not really, 00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:48.930 like I said, the NFL's style or technique. But 00:28:48.930 --> 00:28:51.089 they were able to do it, execute it, and win. 00:28:51.690 --> 00:28:54.869 Regardless, if the Niners were to come out in 00:28:54.869 --> 00:28:57.349 that heavy pass stuff, you may get another historical 00:28:57.349 --> 00:29:01.230 performance. It'll be another guy on the resurgence, 00:29:01.289 --> 00:29:04.730 Mack Jones versus Tampa Bay this time, which 00:29:04.730 --> 00:29:07.410 of course will have Baker Mayfield. So absolutely. 00:29:09.819 --> 00:29:12.480 Absolutely awesome matchup in front of us, especially 00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:14.180 quarterback -wide. I think Max Jones is going 00:29:14.180 --> 00:29:17.099 to be the starter still, which means that a lot 00:29:17.099 --> 00:29:19.099 of those quick, efficient throws that the offense 00:29:19.099 --> 00:29:21.880 had are going to continue to be there. I think 00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:25.079 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in response to the loss 00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:28.779 they suffered, is going to win. Oh, no, Tampa, 00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:32.559 I'm sorry, won. In continuation of that win. 00:29:33.230 --> 00:29:35.509 Tampa Bay, I think, is going to continue on that 00:29:35.509 --> 00:29:36.869 path. They're two -and -a -half -point favorites. 00:29:37.190 --> 00:29:39.170 I have them winning the game, all right, to, 00:29:39.190 --> 00:29:42.130 of course, take the points. But Tampa Bay is 00:29:42.130 --> 00:29:44.549 going to win that game probably about four points. 00:29:44.589 --> 00:29:49.910 I can see a 31 -27 situation going down. All 00:29:49.910 --> 00:29:53.509 right, Sunday night football. The Lions are at 00:29:53.509 --> 00:29:58.140 the Chiefs. Jared Goff, Dan Campbell. Sam Laporta, 00:29:58.259 --> 00:30:01.839 Amon Ron St. Brown, Aiden Hutchinson, Panay Sewell, 00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:08.240 Terry and Arnold, and the rest of the crew are 00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:10.279 headed on the road against Patrick Mahomes and 00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:14.480 Travis Kelsey and Xavier Worthy and Andy Reid 00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:17.460 and the rest of that crew and the Hunt family 00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:20.539 at Kansas City. Kansas City right now is two 00:30:20.539 --> 00:30:25.339 and a half point favorites. I don't know. Legitimately, 00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:29.000 I don't know if Kansas City has what it takes 00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:31.380 to win this game defensively. And it's not from 00:30:31.380 --> 00:30:33.559 a talent perspective. It's not even a scheme 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.640 perspective. Detroit is going to be Detroit. 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:40.220 They're going to run the ball right at you and 00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:41.960 dare you to stop it. If you don't, they're going 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:44.680 to continue to find ways to run the ball right 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:47.599 at you. I actually have the Detroit Lions winning 00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:50.319 this game, which will put Kansas City behind 00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:53.019 the proverbial eight ball as far as making the 00:30:53.019 --> 00:30:57.180 playoffs. That NFC loss wouldn't kill him, but 00:30:57.180 --> 00:30:58.740 it does count on the record. So it could be a 00:30:58.740 --> 00:31:00.660 situation they end up in a tiebreaker they don't 00:31:00.660 --> 00:31:07.059 want to be in. But the Lions, in my opinion, 00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:08.460 are going to defeat the Chiefs. I just think 00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:11.720 they have a little bit too much defensively right 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:13.500 now. And I don't know what's going on with the 00:31:13.500 --> 00:31:16.579 Chiefs offensively. So I am going to go with 00:31:16.579 --> 00:31:21.180 the Lions. And then the doubleheader. On Monday 00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:24.440 Night Football, you have Bills at Falcons, Falcons 00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:27.819 plus three and a half, and Bears at Commanders, 00:31:27.819 --> 00:31:30.619 Commanders minus four and a half. I think the 00:31:30.619 --> 00:31:34.079 Falcons win the game outright. Watching the Buffalo 00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:37.380 Bears closely, as I was being a Patriots fan. 00:31:37.980 --> 00:31:41.579 I thought there were a lot of lapses in either 00:31:41.579 --> 00:31:44.759 focus or preparation against the Patriots. I 00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:46.680 feel like a lot of things that happened in the 00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:48.640 game maybe shouldn't have. And I think they're 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.460 either going to be coasted out, allowed, or removed. 00:31:52.819 --> 00:31:55.059 And I think the Buffalo Bills have to kind of 00:31:55.059 --> 00:31:57.079 figure out what they want to do about those problems. 00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:59.440 But first of all, IDing those problems and then 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:02.250 kind of working them out. I think it's a bad 00:32:02.250 --> 00:32:04.230 week to do that against a good Atlanta team. 00:32:04.349 --> 00:32:06.470 Now they're struggling. They've had their struggles 00:32:06.470 --> 00:32:08.569 in the passing game, but that's a pretty good 00:32:08.569 --> 00:32:11.130 defense to get right against in Buffalo. But 00:32:11.130 --> 00:32:13.289 they've had their struggles in the passing game. 00:32:14.730 --> 00:32:18.549 in atlanta and so i'm just curious to watch this 00:32:18.549 --> 00:32:20.710 game atlanta is three and a half point favorites 00:32:20.710 --> 00:32:24.730 i say take the um bill side of it maybe i think 00:32:24.730 --> 00:32:27.269 the bills i think atlanta wins by a field goal 00:32:27.269 --> 00:32:28.910 when a field goal is less than three and a half 00:32:28.910 --> 00:32:32.130 so um that's kind of where i'm at with it gambling 00:32:32.130 --> 00:32:35.289 wise i would lean to the bill side however football 00:32:35.289 --> 00:32:41.170 wise i would lean to atlanta And then, I'm sorry, 00:32:41.269 --> 00:32:42.250 the Bills are three and a half point favorites. 00:32:42.329 --> 00:32:43.609 So the Bills come in by three and I'm still ahead. 00:32:43.750 --> 00:32:46.569 So take the under three and a half. My apologies. 00:32:47.029 --> 00:32:51.170 And then the Bears at the Commanders. The Commanders 00:32:51.170 --> 00:32:53.430 are four and a half point favorites. On that, 00:32:53.490 --> 00:32:58.910 I'm taking the over. But you have a situation 00:32:58.910 --> 00:33:02.329 with the Bears. I just know, I know the Bears 00:33:02.329 --> 00:33:04.490 ain't got enough right now. Ben Johnson does 00:33:04.490 --> 00:33:06.650 not have the horses to run his scheme the way 00:33:06.650 --> 00:33:09.440 he would like. And Washington is pretty set up. 00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:10.720 I mean, the quarterback's there, the running 00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:12.500 back's there, the tight end's there, the backup 00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:14.640 tight end's there. The offensive line is, I mean, 00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:19.720 it is crisp in Washington. Right now the Bears 00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.079 trying to iron some stuff out. So I'm going to 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:23.880 go with the commanders here. I'm going to even 00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:25.400 eat the four and a half and say they're going 00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:27.900 to win by more than that, which would be anti 00:33:27.900 --> 00:33:31.099 -conventional NFL wisdom. However, it is what 00:33:31.099 --> 00:33:36.569 it is. But. Up next, I'm going to shift into 00:33:36.569 --> 00:33:39.430 college football and talk about their big weekend. 00:34:00.470 --> 00:34:05.930 Welcome back into the show. And now we're going 00:34:05.930 --> 00:34:08.969 to jump into college football. So last week, 00:34:08.969 --> 00:34:12.250 kind of a down week in the sport or was anticipated 00:34:12.250 --> 00:34:15.190 to be a down week in the sport. And then winless 00:34:15.190 --> 00:34:19.369 UCLA beats Penn State. It wasn't the only upset 00:34:19.369 --> 00:34:22.469 of the weekend, right? Yeah, Alabama taking care 00:34:22.469 --> 00:34:27.139 of their business. You had Texas falling to Florida. 00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:30.380 The preseason number one and number two teams 00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:33.199 in Texas and Penn State are both unranked. It's 00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:35.039 the fastest it's ever happened in college football 00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:39.039 history. I mean, it is a topsy -turvy season 00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:42.920 already. A lot of questions, not a lot of answers. 00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:47.239 A lot of wants, not a lot of definitiveness happening 00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:51.260 right now at the college football level. But 00:34:51.260 --> 00:34:53.440 let's get right into this weekend's slate of 00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:57.800 games. So you have number eight, Alabama at number 00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:01.559 14, Missouri. So the SEC is packed right now 00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:04.500 with ranked teams, a lot of ranked teams in the 00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:07.719 SEC. Texas is no longer one of them, but there's 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:10.599 a lot of ranked teams right now in the SEC. Very 00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:12.559 conveniently, the Big Ten lost one at the same 00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:15.130 time. Those are the two premier. college football 00:35:15.130 --> 00:35:18.409 conferences easily in the nation, the Big Ten, 00:35:18.429 --> 00:35:20.989 the SEC. They kind of mirror each other in how 00:35:20.989 --> 00:35:23.250 they act, how they move in their rankings. And 00:35:23.250 --> 00:35:27.409 so very ironically, there's a sinking submarine 00:35:27.409 --> 00:35:30.610 of a team in both conferences in Texas and Penn 00:35:30.610 --> 00:35:35.190 State. But back to Bama, Missouri. Alabama's 00:35:35.190 --> 00:35:36.550 looking good right now. I think they've got the 00:35:36.550 --> 00:35:39.090 Heisman frontrunner at quarterback right now 00:35:39.090 --> 00:35:41.590 in Ty Simpson. I think Kalen DeBoer's kind of 00:35:41.590 --> 00:35:45.099 leveled the ship. He's kind of playing. differently 00:35:45.099 --> 00:35:48.039 now he's run this proctor package where uh the 00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:50.840 offensive tackle proctor has gotten the ball 00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:52.800 a couple times he's gotten thrown to him he's 00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:56.920 gotten handed to him um and so they're kind of 00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:58.599 playing that way and then defensively they woke 00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:01.940 it up is it the alabama defense of old no but 00:36:01.940 --> 00:36:04.500 it also can't be based on rules legislation play 00:36:04.500 --> 00:36:07.559 time play styles it won't be right but they're 00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:10.699 playing a lot better sec level defense i think 00:36:10.699 --> 00:36:12.079 the board's kind of gotten this thing figured 00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:16.469 out On the other side in Missouri, you've got 00:36:16.469 --> 00:36:20.610 a team that's quietly having a really good season, 00:36:20.710 --> 00:36:25.769 right? So Missouri is ranked 14th, right? And 00:36:25.769 --> 00:36:28.510 so Alabama is ranked 8th. So you're not looking 00:36:28.510 --> 00:36:31.769 at a school situation that's a massive gap. Because 00:36:31.769 --> 00:36:34.150 if you look at it, Missouri is undefeated. Missouri 00:36:34.150 --> 00:36:39.409 is 5 -0, right? Missouri is 5 -0. The quarterback, 00:36:39.809 --> 00:36:42.500 Pribla. If I mispronounce his name, I'm sorry, 00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.460 but Priebus, nine touchdowns, three picks. They've 00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:50.260 got Hardy at running back. He's got a 730 yards 00:36:50.260 --> 00:36:55.760 on nine touchdowns. And so they have one of the 00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:58.239 better offenses in the conference. They're undefeated. 00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:01.500 It's at home for Missouri, and I'm picking Alabama. 00:37:02.539 --> 00:37:04.900 I just think Alabama right now is starting to 00:37:04.900 --> 00:37:08.139 figure it out. I don't know the level of competition, 00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:11.550 rather, that Missouri has played. I think pressure 00:37:11.550 --> 00:37:19.590 matters. Missouri so far has beaten Central Arkansas, 00:37:20.010 --> 00:37:24.210 Kansas, not bad, ULL, South Carolina, and UMass. 00:37:25.829 --> 00:37:29.829 So no one in South Carolina, effectively. And 00:37:29.829 --> 00:37:31.250 so they haven't faced a level of competition 00:37:31.250 --> 00:37:33.590 like Alabama is going to provide them. It's a 00:37:33.590 --> 00:37:36.650 lot of pressure. I believe College Game Day is 00:37:36.650 --> 00:37:39.650 there. I think, no, College Game Day is in Oregon. 00:37:41.649 --> 00:37:44.110 But maybe SEC Network, our nation's going there. 00:37:44.210 --> 00:37:47.150 This is a big game. It's the biggest game in 00:37:47.150 --> 00:37:51.269 the SEC this week. Probably a top five. I have 00:37:51.269 --> 00:37:54.150 it a top four biggest game of the weekend. It's 00:37:54.150 --> 00:37:55.849 going to be an absolute show. I've got Alabama 00:37:55.849 --> 00:37:58.829 here squeaking it out. Point spread's about two 00:37:58.829 --> 00:38:00.510 and a half. I've got Bamba about a field goal. 00:38:00.690 --> 00:38:02.329 So I think the point spread's right on the money. 00:38:02.429 --> 00:38:05.610 If you get it somewhere, three and a half. on 00:38:05.610 --> 00:38:08.250 Missouri. Take Missouri there, but anywhere three 00:38:08.250 --> 00:38:11.590 or less, I'd lean towards the Alabama side of 00:38:11.590 --> 00:38:17.230 the bet. The Red River shootout between sixth 00:38:17.230 --> 00:38:21.269 -ranked Oklahoma and unranked Texas. Again, Texas 00:38:21.269 --> 00:38:23.670 was the number one team in the country preseason. 00:38:23.849 --> 00:38:26.510 They have fallen to Ohio State, and they have 00:38:26.510 --> 00:38:29.409 since fallen just recently last week to Florida, 00:38:29.489 --> 00:38:32.949 and they are now unranked. Arch Manning seems 00:38:32.949 --> 00:38:37.530 to be disaster right now um 2a level football 00:38:37.530 --> 00:38:40.869 in louisiana is not the stiffest level of competition 00:38:40.869 --> 00:38:43.329 especially in the district he was in not the 00:38:43.329 --> 00:38:45.469 stiffest he usually got knocked out fairly early 00:38:45.469 --> 00:38:48.369 in the playoffs um and never did the national 00:38:48.369 --> 00:38:52.130 camp circuit had a very protected recruitment 00:38:52.130 --> 00:38:54.949 uh under the advisement of the mannings which 00:38:54.949 --> 00:38:58.869 hey smart decision right don't show them your 00:38:58.869 --> 00:39:00.980 faults if you ain't if you don't have to Ultimately, 00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:03.079 he ends up at Texas. He gets his money with NIL 00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:05.079 and he got his football and all that stuff, right? 00:39:05.900 --> 00:39:09.699 But he's struggling. I mean, he's looked bad 00:39:09.699 --> 00:39:13.360 in most of the games except for UTEP. Meanwhile, 00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:17.420 on the other side, Oklahoma doesn't have their, 00:39:17.500 --> 00:39:19.019 what would have been a front -running Heisman 00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:23.139 quarterback of their own in Mateer. Absolute 00:39:23.139 --> 00:39:26.079 gamer. Reminds me a lot of Baker Mayfield. Absolute. 00:39:26.510 --> 00:39:29.769 baller of a dude he's a gamer he is going to 00:39:29.769 --> 00:39:32.329 try to rip your throat out and tell you about 00:39:32.329 --> 00:39:37.989 it I love that kid uh but but Mateer he's all 00:39:37.989 --> 00:39:39.789 right and he's trying to push for Red River he's 00:39:39.789 --> 00:39:41.829 trying to get back for the game but it could 00:39:41.829 --> 00:39:43.409 be a situation where Oklahoma starting their 00:39:43.409 --> 00:39:47.190 backup quarterback again against Texas um there's 00:39:47.190 --> 00:39:51.639 a lot of issues there right now in Texas in Austin, 00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:54.420 there are problems right now that I'm sure Steve 00:39:54.420 --> 00:39:56.280 Sarkeesian is trying to get it figured out. He's 00:39:56.280 --> 00:40:00.579 trying to get it legislated. I mean, he beats 00:40:00.579 --> 00:40:04.199 Oklahoma. He's back in the top 20, and then he's 00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:06.460 got to win out to have a chance at the at -large 00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:08.539 bid in the playoffs, with your two losses being, 00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:10.460 I think, the current number one team in Ohio 00:40:10.460 --> 00:40:13.400 State and Florida. Not great on the Florida loss, 00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:16.800 but he's on the road at the Swamp. Many, many 00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:22.300 of team has fallen victim to the Swamp. Speaking 00:40:22.300 --> 00:40:24.159 of a team that has fallen victim of the swamp, 00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:26.480 well, two teams actually. Before, South Carolina 00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:30.840 at LSU. LSU was off last week, so they actually 00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:33.780 fell to 14 and then due to people losing, come 00:40:33.780 --> 00:40:37.440 back up to 11. In a week, they didn't play football. 00:40:38.500 --> 00:40:41.139 But South Carolina comes into LSU. LSU's a 9 00:40:41.139 --> 00:40:44.519 .5 point favorite. Now, I'm not sure what offense 00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:47.619 that's supposed to get 9 .5 point favorite because 00:40:47.619 --> 00:40:51.159 LSU has the worst good team offense. in college 00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.039 football right now. And I don't think it's close. 00:40:53.139 --> 00:40:55.820 I mean, it's Garrett Nussmeyer was injured, then 00:40:55.820 --> 00:40:57.659 he was healthy, then he played bad again, so 00:40:57.659 --> 00:40:59.900 he was injured again. Now he's back healthy, 00:41:00.019 --> 00:41:04.280 or he's healing, or whatevering at this point 00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:07.719 with Garrett Nussmeyer. They can't run the ball. 00:41:07.820 --> 00:41:09.960 They have one of the worst rushing attacks in 00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:12.539 the country. Just a conference in the country. 00:41:14.439 --> 00:41:16.059 And they're going to deal with South Carolina, 00:41:16.260 --> 00:41:19.219 man, who has electric playmakers all over the 00:41:19.219 --> 00:41:20.900 field. Of course, everyone in the world knows 00:41:20.900 --> 00:41:23.219 about Nick Harbour. If you play EA College football 00:41:23.219 --> 00:41:25.800 at all, you know about Nick Harbour. They also 00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:30.400 have Lenora Sellers. They also have an offensive 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:34.559 firepower that can give LSU some trouble, especially 00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:37.760 if the game stays close. So what you don't want 00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:39.840 to have happen if you're LSU is that this is 00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:41.639 a three -point game in the fourth quarter, and 00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:46.139 now you're a play away. You're not a drive away. 00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:52.119 You are a play away from being in a world of 00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:55.179 trouble. And that's something that you want to 00:41:55.179 --> 00:42:00.460 try your best to avoid. But again, if it's a 00:42:00.460 --> 00:42:05.159 situation where it's close late, a Lenore Seller 00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:07.840 scrambles for six could change the entire fate 00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:10.280 of the game. Now it's in Death Valley, which 00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:12.550 is. The real Death Valley, which is hard for 00:42:12.550 --> 00:42:15.349 anybody to go in. I've got LSU winning, but I 00:42:15.349 --> 00:42:16.309 don't think it's going to be nine and a half. 00:42:16.369 --> 00:42:17.690 I think it's going to be a six -point game at 00:42:17.690 --> 00:42:22.050 the buzzer. And then the big one. College game 00:42:22.050 --> 00:42:27.869 day. The big one. Number seven, Indiana at number 00:42:27.869 --> 00:42:30.369 three, Oregon. So, Oregon feels like in just 00:42:30.369 --> 00:42:33.070 as many weeks they had number three Penn State 00:42:33.070 --> 00:42:36.469 in Happy Valley. Now they get number seven, Indiana 00:42:36.469 --> 00:42:42.380 in Eugene. Huge, huge game. for the program of 00:42:42.380 --> 00:42:46.139 Oregon and Indiana here. Indiana, last playoffs 00:42:46.139 --> 00:42:49.219 with the Cinderella team and got smoked in the 00:42:49.219 --> 00:42:51.460 first round. This is kind of their first big, 00:42:51.500 --> 00:42:55.079 big test since that point to see just how far 00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:58.260 if... any they've closed the gap on those national 00:42:58.260 --> 00:43:01.360 powers oregon is a lot of people's trendy national 00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:04.099 championship pick them in ohio state a lot of 00:43:04.099 --> 00:43:06.079 people's trending national championship pick 00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:08.619 there's going to be a big game for them again 00:43:08.619 --> 00:43:11.360 if they can crush indiana sends indiana back 00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:15.340 down but also another feather in the hat uh for 00:43:15.340 --> 00:43:16.960 this football team they would have beaten number 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:19.440 three on the road and number seven at home so 00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:22.829 another feather in the cap for Dan Lanning and 00:43:22.829 --> 00:43:27.710 his Oregon crew led by Dante Moore at quarterback 00:43:27.710 --> 00:43:30.389 who is a lot of people's Heisman favorites usually 00:43:30.389 --> 00:43:34.070 Dante Moore Ty Simpson these days as your Heisman 00:43:34.070 --> 00:43:38.090 favorites but absolutely congratulations to Oregon 00:43:38.090 --> 00:43:40.449 on just looking the way they've looked but Indiana's 00:43:40.449 --> 00:43:41.969 no slouch right the number seven in the country 00:43:41.969 --> 00:43:44.730 for a reason I think this is going to be a whale 00:43:44.730 --> 00:43:47.150 of a game I just think Dante Moore makes one 00:43:47.150 --> 00:43:50.110 more play and Oregon escapes it it's seven and 00:43:50.110 --> 00:43:52.409 a half point spread I actually take the under 00:43:52.409 --> 00:43:54.510 there I've got this thing playing about three 00:43:54.510 --> 00:43:56.909 or four I just think Dante Moore makes one more 00:43:56.909 --> 00:43:59.269 play late whether it's the first down to ice 00:43:59.269 --> 00:44:02.289 it or the throw for the touchdown to win it or 00:44:02.289 --> 00:44:04.769 something I just think Dante Moore man that has 00:44:04.769 --> 00:44:08.969 a moment he makes one more play to win the game 00:44:08.969 --> 00:44:14.179 but up next We're going to shift to our best 00:44:14.179 --> 00:44:15.599 for last, which is going to be a talk about the 00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:34.880 WNBA Finals. Welcome back into the show. And 00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:37.440 now we're going to jump into best for last, which 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:40.360 is going to be a talk on the WNBA Finals. More 00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:43.820 of a quick update. As you guys may or may not 00:44:43.820 --> 00:44:48.519 know, the Las Vegas Aces have taken a commanding 00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:52.059 2 -0 lead over the Phoenix Mercury. This is a 00:44:52.059 --> 00:44:54.920 showcase moment. I've said it before and I'll 00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:56.420 say it again. Asia Wilson is the best player 00:44:56.420 --> 00:44:59.420 on the planet. Now, I've also said that you can 00:44:59.420 --> 00:45:01.480 have the three, either of the three you want, 00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:04.320 Nafisa Collier, Brianna Stewart, or Asia Wilson. 00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.300 I won't argue. If one of your answers is that, 00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:10.760 I won't argue. For me personally, it's Aja Wilson, 00:45:10.980 --> 00:45:13.059 and she's about to cap off one of the greatest 00:45:13.059 --> 00:45:15.880 seasons in WNBA history. Her team was dead in 00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:19.920 the water with about 16 -ish games left. They 00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:22.239 were dead. I mean, they were scraping the playoffs. 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.699 I mean, right around 500, they rip off like 18, 00:45:24.780 --> 00:45:27.719 19 straight. She wins her fourth MVP, the first 00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:30.539 lady ever to have four MVPs in WNBA. The WNBA 00:45:30.539 --> 00:45:36.880 is only 26 or 27 years old. She has four MVPs 00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:40.539 already. She won't be her last MVP, and she's 00:45:40.539 --> 00:45:44.099 about to bring her team to the WNBA championship, 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:48.019 cementing herself as arguably the GOAT of the 00:45:48.019 --> 00:45:52.360 WNBA. She's not even 30 yet, so huge moment in 00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:56.659 time, huge moment in history, rather, for the 00:45:56.659 --> 00:45:58.460 Las Vegas Aces. However, now they got to go to 00:45:58.460 --> 00:46:00.679 Phoenix, right? Now they got to go to Phoenix, 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:02.840 and Alyssa Thomas is seeking her, I think, her 00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.800 first WNBA championship. If she were to win that, 00:46:05.860 --> 00:46:08.599 she puts herself on a very, very short list of 00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:11.380 greatest players ever. Considering her prowess 00:46:11.380 --> 00:46:13.380 for the triple -double, she's the greatest triple 00:46:13.380 --> 00:46:16.380 -double person of all time. She's the utility. 00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:21.400 She is the engine. I mean, she is flat out one 00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:23.880 of the greatest players ever. Winning a championship 00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:27.780 submits that and puts her at a level that few 00:46:27.780 --> 00:46:29.840 have reached in the women's game. She would have 00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:33.199 her own lane in history, which is rare. um in 00:46:33.199 --> 00:46:36.159 sports anything really to have your own lane 00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:38.280 in history which is where she's at right now 00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:40.280 but i mean the mercury have to win some games 00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:44.559 because obviously the aces are looking to close 00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:47.679 this thing out sooner rather than later um sure 00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:49.619 they'd love a sweet sure they love it even better 00:46:49.619 --> 00:46:54.420 if they win it uh in vegas um but Absolutely 00:46:54.420 --> 00:46:57.800 great series so far. Great, you know, wrap up 00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:01.199 to the WNBA. A great conclusion, a great climax 00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:04.579 to the WNBA season. And I'm excited. I think 00:47:04.579 --> 00:47:06.760 the A's are going to win this thing. I kind of 00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:09.440 went into it a week ago saying the A's are going 00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:11.519 to win. A's is the best player on the planet. 00:47:12.030 --> 00:47:15.050 The only people I thought could have stood to 00:47:15.050 --> 00:47:17.309 her was either Nafisa Collier or Brianna Stewart, 00:47:17.510 --> 00:47:20.329 both of which are not in this finals. Although 00:47:20.329 --> 00:47:23.289 Nafisa Collier is making her waves. Both of which 00:47:23.289 --> 00:47:26.869 are not on the court during this finals. I think 00:47:26.869 --> 00:47:29.659 age is too much. I think Jackie's too much. I 00:47:29.659 --> 00:47:32.460 think Chelsea's too much. I think Jewel Lloyd 00:47:32.460 --> 00:47:35.239 is too much. I think there's just too many people 00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:38.679 on the Las Vegas Aces. And no slouch to the Phoenix 00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:40.280 Mercury. They've got Liz Thomas. They've got 00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:42.860 Dawana Bonner. They have Satu Sabale. They have 00:47:42.860 --> 00:47:46.159 Kalia Copper, right? Because there's no slander 00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:49.019 as far as talent there. I just think when the 00:47:49.019 --> 00:47:53.360 talent's close and you have that person, you 00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:56.630 have her, which is Aja Wilson. That's going to 00:47:56.630 --> 00:47:58.829 put you over the top here. I think the Aces are 00:47:58.829 --> 00:48:03.429 going to win the WNBA championship. But that 00:48:03.429 --> 00:48:06.469 is all I have for you guys today. I'm glad you're 00:48:06.469 --> 00:48:08.329 able to join me, listen to this show a little 00:48:08.329 --> 00:48:10.190 bit shorter than last week, which is expected 00:48:10.190 --> 00:48:12.150 considering that last week we had so much to 00:48:12.150 --> 00:48:14.090 get through because we missed multiple weeks. 00:48:14.190 --> 00:48:18.050 However, we should be back on track for regularly 00:48:18.050 --> 00:48:20.289 scheduled episodes probably once a week. I can't 00:48:20.289 --> 00:48:22.329 guarantee what day of the week, but we're back 00:48:22.329 --> 00:48:25.829 on track for regularly scheduled episodes and 00:48:25.829 --> 00:48:28.809 release episodes. But this is your host, Justin 00:48:28.809 --> 00:48:29.809 Jackson, signing out.
