00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:03.250
Well, if it's very difficult if you're Bryce Young, it's difficult.

00:00:03.250 --> 00:00:05.586
It's difficult to deal with those expectations.

00:00:05.586 --> 00:00:06.490
But no.

00:00:07.201 --> 00:00:08.948
OK, so they are the same prospect.

00:00:08.948 --> 00:00:10.365
Ok, they're the same.

00:00:10.365 --> 00:00:12.227
He has a slightly better team.

00:00:12.227 --> 00:00:15.449
They will be solid, but they will not be a playoff.

00:00:16.224 --> 00:00:19.059
OK, chicago, stand up, shot down, all right.

00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:20.626
I think you may become a Bears fan.

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:22.600
Bears finishing higher than the Packers.

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:24.422
I've got the Bears finishing higher than the Packers.

Man, let's get to it.

We got a fun show today.

00:01:42.525 --> 00:01:43.881
We're gonna get into that.

00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:53.870
And then we have our Pick'em Pro Fantasy League first Pick'em Pro League that we're starting and we are going to draw the names for the draft.

00:01:53.870 --> 00:02:01.576
So we've got 13 teams We've got lucky, 13 teams in our league and we're going to draw 13 through one.

00:02:01.576 --> 00:02:04.108
So we're going to finish with that.

00:02:04.108 --> 00:02:04.996
So you gotta watch till the end.

00:02:04.996 --> 00:02:05.822
Uh, don't fast forward.

00:02:05.822 --> 00:02:07.846
You gotta watch till the end to see the draft order.

00:02:07.846 --> 00:02:10.162
All right, there's gonna be a lot of smash talk.

00:02:10.162 --> 00:02:14.371
Uh, desmond clark, former tight end of the chicago bears, will be joining us.

00:02:14.371 --> 00:02:18.626
Uh, my dad, we got summer, we got silas.

00:02:18.626 --> 00:02:19.968
A lot of people joining us, man.

00:02:19.968 --> 00:02:21.472
So it's gonna be fun, all right.

00:02:21.472 --> 00:02:25.008
Well, let's get into our nf picks first.

00:02:25.008 --> 00:02:26.685
Man, why don't you start us off.

00:02:26.685 --> 00:02:29.008
We'll go north, south, east and west.

00:02:29.008 --> 00:02:39.026
Let's go ahead and go through that and tell us one through four for the NFC North man All right, so NFC North, so one through four.

00:02:39.769 --> 00:02:40.430
Oh, four to one.

00:02:40.430 --> 00:02:40.991
Yeah, let's go.

00:02:40.991 --> 00:02:41.432
Four to one.

00:02:41.432 --> 00:02:42.221
All right, four to one.

00:02:42.241 --> 00:02:42.923
Yeah, let's go four to one.

00:02:42.923 --> 00:02:43.585
All right, four to one.

00:02:43.585 --> 00:02:51.532
In FC North, Number four, I got the Minnesota Vikings, Of course, their rookie JJ McCarthy, out for the year with his torn MCL.

00:02:51.532 --> 00:02:54.330
I think it is, but I don't think that's really the reason.

00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:56.243
Him and Sam Darnold.

00:02:56.243 --> 00:02:58.911
I don't think Sam Darnold's going to be the best QB this year.

00:02:58.911 --> 00:03:02.563
I just don't think the Vikings are going to be all that great.

00:03:02.563 --> 00:03:07.009
I just don't think the Vikings are going to be all that great, and the division also has three great teams that are ahead of them.

00:03:07.009 --> 00:03:10.974
So, yeah, I think it's going to be hard for them to finish above last.

00:03:11.294 --> 00:03:11.556
All right.

00:03:16.219 --> 00:03:25.605
Number three I got the Bears Chicago Bears with their new rookie QB, Caleb Williams, adding Keenan Allen and Aroma Dunzay to the receiving core, cole Kmet tied in.

00:03:25.605 --> 00:03:37.210
They got some really good weapons and I still think, since the division's so stacked, they're going to finish third and some issues with their defense and O-line.

00:03:37.941 --> 00:03:39.627
But, I still have them finishing third.

00:03:39.627 --> 00:03:47.007
Number two I got the Packers Made a pretty deep run last year beating the Cowboys getting to the divisional round.

00:03:47.007 --> 00:03:48.546
A lot of people didn't expect that.

00:03:48.546 --> 00:03:58.069
I expect them to make the playoffs again and be second in this division with Jor and Love and adding Josh Jacobs and all that.

00:03:58.069 --> 00:04:02.361
So number one I got the Detroit Lions Detroit Number one.

00:04:02.361 --> 00:04:05.170
Best team wins the NFC Championship.

00:04:05.170 --> 00:04:08.268
Got pretty much the same team so I think they'll run it back.

00:04:08.909 --> 00:04:10.554
Okay, I think they're going to run it back.

00:04:10.554 --> 00:04:12.362
All right, so NFC North.

00:04:12.362 --> 00:04:17.774
I agree with some of what you put down and disagree with a little bit, man.

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.490
So before I agree with you, man, I've got the Minnesota Vikings finish last.

00:04:21.490 --> 00:04:23.944
I think everybody knows that Minnesota Vikings finished last.

00:04:23.944 --> 00:04:39.009
I think everybody knows that it's funny because Roy, who's in our fantasy league, he messaged me earlier today asking between Caleb Williams and who was the other one the quarterback out of with the commanders out of LSU McDaniels.

00:04:39.009 --> 00:04:47.201
He was asking who, if he was taking a quarterback late, who he should pick, and I told him go with the sleeper mccarthy.

00:04:47.201 --> 00:04:56.105
Uh, since he's in our league, like I, gave him some great advice make sure you take mccarthy as your quarterback, you won't regret it.

00:04:56.826 --> 00:04:58.851
Um, and yeah, that that'll help us out a lot.

00:04:58.851 --> 00:05:04.490
Go ahead and take mccarthy man but anyway, yeah, vikings, what got last number three is gonna surprise you.

00:05:04.490 --> 00:05:05.980
Man, I actually made a change.

00:05:06.401 --> 00:05:12.482
I'm going green bay packers, wow number three yes, yes, I think the packers actually take a slight step back.

00:05:12.983 --> 00:05:14.466
Uh, jordan love got paid.

00:05:14.466 --> 00:05:16.810
Um, I think that's a bad sign.

00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:20.863
Again, he there was questions before if he was the guy.

00:05:20.863 --> 00:05:27.725
He started the season off slow and then finished strong and very strong and he finished very, very strong.

00:05:27.725 --> 00:05:31.720
But that's a small body of work for the amount of money that he got.

00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.805
I think he's going to have a lot of pressure.

00:05:33.805 --> 00:05:37.641
It's receiver by committee and I don't know.

00:05:37.641 --> 00:05:41.192
I like what the Bears and, of course, what the Lions are doing.

00:05:41.192 --> 00:05:45.250
I've got the Packers finishing third in the in the division.

00:05:45.250 --> 00:05:47.845
I think people are maybe a little too high on the packers.

00:05:47.845 --> 00:05:51.512
I'm going uh them through number three, number two.

00:05:51.512 --> 00:05:53.084
I've got the chicago bears.

00:05:53.084 --> 00:05:55.192
I'm a little higher on the bears this year.

00:05:55.192 --> 00:05:58.122
Uh, caleb williams is looking great.

00:05:58.944 --> 00:06:00.990
Uh that receiving play dj.

00:06:01.151 --> 00:06:02.093
Oh yes, he demanded.

00:06:02.093 --> 00:06:04.721
Did you see those couple of snaps in the preseason game?

00:06:04.721 --> 00:06:08.067
Everybody's losing their mind over caleb williams man.

00:06:08.168 --> 00:06:09.190
Yes, yes, he's the.

00:06:09.190 --> 00:06:19.386
You know how many people have got a couple of good snaps and end up being bad uh, yes, daniel jones did, yeah, so they were talking about how great, he looked at first.

00:06:19.706 --> 00:06:22.011
So but again patrick mahomes.

00:06:22.011 --> 00:06:26.680
Hey, patrick mahomes, look look really good, so you know, could be one of the other.

00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:31.932
He could be um you know daniel jones or he could be bryce.

00:06:31.932 --> 00:06:33.053
Now how did bryce look?

00:06:34.201 --> 00:06:37.730
bryce was solid I mean I don't know about, I can't remember how it wasn't.

00:06:37.850 --> 00:06:39.920
You can't you wipe that out of your memory back?

00:06:40.141 --> 00:06:41.783
I don't know why I don't watch the preseason.

00:06:41.783 --> 00:06:44.625
I watch regular games, all right.

00:06:45.365 --> 00:06:47.867
Well, so I've got Chicago Bears number two.

00:06:47.867 --> 00:06:51.971
I mean, with the weapons they have, bears are going to finish second.

00:06:51.971 --> 00:06:54.194
And then number one come on Detroit Lions.

00:06:54.194 --> 00:07:00.663
Everybody knows how I feel about the Lions and Detroit you might have to explain why you have them.

00:07:00.663 --> 00:07:01.487
Well, they have my guy.

00:07:01.507 --> 00:07:02.389
Amon Ross St Brown.

00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:04.065
Okay, they've got a great coach.

00:07:04.065 --> 00:07:06.548
They have the great tight end.

00:07:06.548 --> 00:07:08.440
He's in all the positions, man Defense.

00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:11.511
There's just no weaknesses with the Detroit Lions.

00:07:11.511 --> 00:07:13.125
They should have won the Super Bowl last year.

00:07:13.648 --> 00:07:16.187
Whatever Jamison Williams, he's going to have a good year.

00:07:16.187 --> 00:07:20.091
He was a first-round pick from Alabama.

00:07:20.091 --> 00:07:23.610
He started to come around last year, so I think this year he's going to come around last year.

00:07:23.610 --> 00:07:26.702
So I think this year he's gonna have a big year watch out for him.

00:07:26.923 --> 00:07:33.199
Definitely, yeah, so let's go to uh nfc south who you got nfc south, number 14.

00:07:34.062 --> 00:07:38.093
I have the new orleans saints um derrick carr.

00:07:38.093 --> 00:07:39.096
I don't know about him.

00:07:39.096 --> 00:07:40.060
There's a lot of questions.

00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:42.404
The team, the coaching, isn't looking so great.

00:07:42.404 --> 00:07:44.488
Alvin kamara is always hurt.

00:07:44.488 --> 00:07:46.312
Michael thomas is gone.

00:07:46.312 --> 00:07:48.406
Uh, chris olave, he's a.

00:07:48.406 --> 00:07:49.550
He's a good receiver.

00:07:49.550 --> 00:07:51.536
They're replacing michael.

00:07:51.536 --> 00:07:52.156
Oh, he's not.

00:07:52.156 --> 00:07:59.860
Not michael thomas, not prime michael thomas, but replacing him um michael thomas is gone, so it's just a lot of chance.

00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:01.946
A lot of changes um their defense.

00:08:01.946 --> 00:08:04.252
I think got worse, so it's just a lot of change.

00:08:04.252 --> 00:08:08.108
I'm not expecting to finish last in nfc south okay, all right number three.

00:08:08.127 --> 00:08:12.228
I have the atlanta falcons, uh, kurt cousins, uh coming off the achilles.

00:08:12.228 --> 00:08:18.588
I don't know how he's gonna respond, especially early in, earlier in the season, um, so I'm kind of worried about that a little bit.

00:08:18.588 --> 00:08:21.012
Um, kyle pitts has an injury history.

00:08:21.012 --> 00:08:24.665
Bijan robinson I don't think he's going to live up to expectations.

00:08:24.665 --> 00:08:29.812
Yeah, and that's pretty much it, like I said, darnell Mooney they got him.

00:08:29.812 --> 00:08:31.595
I think he's overrated.

00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:34.244
So, yeah, just a lot of bad things.

00:08:34.244 --> 00:08:35.793
So they may have a lot of overrated moves.

00:08:35.793 --> 00:08:38.519
A lot of people love the moves that the Falcons have made.

00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:45.985
I think some and it's not even really that Like a few, like not really really that Like one or two people you can say are overrated.

00:08:45.985 --> 00:08:48.846
But I just think mainly it's more about injuries.

00:08:48.846 --> 00:08:49.508
You know what I'm saying.

00:08:49.528 --> 00:08:51.109
Like injuries is part of it All.

00:08:51.109 --> 00:08:53.211
Right Gotten hit by injuries a few times.

00:08:53.211 --> 00:09:02.496
And number two I have the Tampa Bay Bucks, baker Mayfield coming off his big year divisional playoff appearance.

00:09:02.496 --> 00:09:08.866
They still got Mike Evans, chris godwin, um, they got a pretty solid team, good defense.

00:09:08.866 --> 00:09:16.269
So I expect them to finish second in this vision, behind the number one team, which is going to be the carolina panthers I expect.

00:09:16.389 --> 00:09:23.366
I expect bryce young to have a big year this year with the receivers, yes, and and the head coach, dave Canales.

00:09:23.366 --> 00:09:33.630
The last two years in 2022, he went to Seattle, helped Geno Smith get to the playoffs and have his best year.

00:09:33.630 --> 00:09:35.226
Pro Bowl, Geno Smith.

00:09:35.226 --> 00:09:37.868
That's when Dave Canales showed up.

00:09:37.868 --> 00:09:46.601
And the year after that he went to Tampa, got Baker Mayfield and then Baker had a Pro Bowl season, took his team to the divisional round.

00:09:46.601 --> 00:09:47.982
Now he's in Carolina.

00:09:47.982 --> 00:09:50.104
He's going to do the same thing with Bryce.

00:09:50.104 --> 00:09:57.587
He's going to help him have an amazing year and, with Deontay Johnson coming in, he's a great route runner.

00:09:57.587 --> 00:09:58.947
You know what I'm saying.

00:09:58.947 --> 00:09:59.788
He's very speedy.

00:09:59.788 --> 00:10:05.351
Adam Thielen was statistically the best slot receiver in the NFL last year.

00:10:05.351 --> 00:10:07.173
You know what I'm saying.

00:10:07.173 --> 00:10:09.293
They got Xavier Leggett, the first-round receiver.

00:10:09.293 --> 00:10:10.094
You know what I'm saying.

00:10:10.094 --> 00:10:12.835
Built like DK Metcalf, Great defense.

00:10:12.835 --> 00:10:14.775
Jc Horn the corner coming back.

00:10:14.836 --> 00:10:17.337
Okay, you're just naming the roster.

00:10:17.337 --> 00:10:21.663
Come on man, good gracious, nobody thinks the Panthers are going to do anything.

00:10:21.724 --> 00:10:24.831
Jc Horn was a first-round cornerback a few years ago.

00:10:24.831 --> 00:10:28.865
He's been injured, but when he's played he's been a Pro Bowl-level player.

00:10:28.865 --> 00:10:29.729
Look it up.

00:10:30.471 --> 00:10:34.259
Okay, man, you're wasting entirely too much time on this show, derrick.

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:38.525
Brown, everybody, man Guys, this is ridiculous Okay.

00:10:38.645 --> 00:10:39.226
Panthers.

00:10:39.226 --> 00:10:41.649
Homer Simpson, Once again Homer Simpson.

00:10:42.552 --> 00:10:44.298
How I'm stating real facts.

00:10:44.691 --> 00:10:52.879
Yeah, you're just naming the roster, you're just running off the roster and they're good players, that's the thing, and a good coach, it's a very important key.

00:10:53.230 --> 00:10:54.456
The O-line got better too.

00:10:54.456 --> 00:10:56.629
We added a few really good O-line.

00:10:57.433 --> 00:10:59.384
Okay, you're going to name the whole offensive line.

00:10:59.384 --> 00:11:00.370
I'm not going to name.

00:11:00.649 --> 00:11:04.839
I named a lot of people already, so I'm just gonna, I'm gonna chill okay, thank you appreciate that.

00:11:04.859 --> 00:11:09.138
All right, so nfc south man, we got the new orleans saints.

00:11:09.138 --> 00:11:09.860
I agree with you.

00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:11.105
There they're number four.

00:11:11.105 --> 00:11:14.437
I've got carolina panthers what at number three.

00:11:14.437 --> 00:11:21.076
Number three most people probably have the panthers last okay, I'm being nice and the carolina panthers have a great running game.

00:11:21.336 --> 00:11:24.172
Miles sanders plays great when he has good old linemen.

00:11:24.172 --> 00:11:25.756
Chubba I'm sorry I'm going on.

00:11:25.756 --> 00:11:27.542
Chububba Hubbard was really good last year.

00:11:27.542 --> 00:11:37.234
He had almost 1,000 yards, 900 or something, and they got the first, the best running back in the whole draft, or the number one taken running back in the whole draft, jonathan Brooks from Texas.

00:11:37.234 --> 00:11:39.902
So just saying Running game's good too.

00:11:40.090 --> 00:11:43.000
I've got Carolina Panthers number three being very nice.

00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.250
Number two, I've got the Tampa Bay Bucs Baker.

00:11:48.250 --> 00:11:49.596
I think they'll run it back, have a solid season.

00:11:49.596 --> 00:11:50.658
I've got them number two.

00:11:50.658 --> 00:11:57.057
But come on, the class of the afc south everybody knows is going to be the atlanta falcons.

00:11:57.057 --> 00:12:00.650
Oh man, they're going to be so nice, why they've got name me?

00:12:00.691 --> 00:12:02.153
give me a reason, they've got.

00:12:02.193 --> 00:12:05.679
Give me a reason they've got running back, they've got receivers.

00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.504
Now they've picked up defense who.

00:12:07.504 --> 00:12:09.730
They've picked up defense, name them.

00:12:09.730 --> 00:12:10.884
I don't have to name them.

00:12:10.884 --> 00:12:11.269
Defense who?

00:12:12.250 --> 00:12:14.239
Who have they picked up outside of Kirk Cousins?

00:12:14.330 --> 00:12:16.730
I don't have to sit here and just rattle off the entire roster.

00:12:16.730 --> 00:12:17.779
Who have they picked up outside of Kirk?

00:12:17.779 --> 00:12:19.952
I don't have to sit here and rattle off the entire roster.

00:12:20.033 --> 00:12:28.412
Atlanta Falcons are going to win the AFC South.

00:12:28.432 --> 00:12:29.174
You can book that.

00:12:29.174 --> 00:12:29.738
That's easy.

00:12:29.738 --> 00:12:31.517
I'll bet anything you want to bet on that.

00:12:31.517 --> 00:12:33.075
That's a done deal.

00:12:33.075 --> 00:12:34.816
Wardrobe.

00:12:35.565 --> 00:12:41.519
Wardrobe change Looks like a bandwagon wardrobe Literally has world champions right on the side.

00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.817
Why do you have to get the championship hat?

00:12:44.630 --> 00:12:45.172
I can't help it.

00:12:45.172 --> 00:12:46.696
If I'm a champion, all right.

00:12:47.017 --> 00:12:47.597
What about you?

00:12:48.299 --> 00:12:50.072
All right NFC.

00:12:50.172 --> 00:12:51.256
East who you got All right.

00:12:51.256 --> 00:12:55.020
Number four I got the New York Giants Daniel Jones.

00:12:55.020 --> 00:13:00.239
I heard he's looked very bad in training camp, and so I don't expect a good year from him.

00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:11.988
The only bright spot is Malik Nabors, the receiver, but it doesn't really help if you can't have a QB to throw it to him or an O-line to block for the QB and get the receiver open.

00:13:11.988 --> 00:13:14.817
So yeah, I think they're going to finish.

00:13:14.817 --> 00:13:17.658
Last Number three you have the Washington Commanders.

00:13:17.658 --> 00:13:24.201
They got the first number two overall pick, jay and Daniels Heisman winner.

00:13:24.201 --> 00:13:26.014
He looked very good in a few snaps.

00:13:26.014 --> 00:13:27.220
He got in the preseason game.

00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:30.422
Um heard good things about him so far, so that's good.

00:13:30.422 --> 00:13:32.629
They got austin eckler in the backfield.

00:13:32.629 --> 00:13:33.592
Um.

00:13:33.592 --> 00:13:36.803
Now you got terry mclaurin at the wide out, so they got.

00:13:36.845 --> 00:13:42.479
So they got a pretty, pretty solid offense actually so um, but I don't think it's good enough to get past.

00:13:42.479 --> 00:13:45.333
Get past number three spot okay, and number two.

00:13:45.333 --> 00:13:46.980
Have have the Dallas Cowboys.

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:51.259
They have a lot of bad things going on right now.

00:13:51.259 --> 00:14:01.860
Micah Parsons, ceedee and Dak all want to get paid, but I do think CeeDee will have a big year, since he's still fighting for that deal.

00:14:02.974 --> 00:14:04.820
It's exactly how the Cowboys want it.

00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:06.428
It's exactly how they want it.

00:14:06.932 --> 00:14:11.317
But people haven't been getting a lot of reps and the team has been bad.

00:14:11.317 --> 00:14:14.798
Well, they finished disappointingly last year.

00:14:14.798 --> 00:14:17.798
And they got Zeke as their running back, so I don't know.

00:14:18.077 --> 00:14:22.600
Yeah, well, true, they are in the news, which is what they want.

00:14:23.110 --> 00:14:23.511
All right.

00:14:23.511 --> 00:14:24.817
Well, it's not going to win games.

00:14:24.817 --> 00:14:27.017
Number one I got the Eagles.

00:14:27.017 --> 00:14:34.658
They're stacked this year on offense with Jalen Hurts, Saquon, of course, AJ and Devontae outside.

00:14:34.658 --> 00:14:39.576
Their defense is good, so I just think they're going to finish first in this division.

00:14:39.937 --> 00:14:42.995
Okay, All right, yeah, yeah, well, hey, I agree with you.

00:14:42.995 --> 00:14:45.071
I have the exact same order.

00:14:45.071 --> 00:14:45.792
I agree with you.

00:14:45.792 --> 00:14:49.635
I have the exact same order Giants, four Commanders, three Cowboys, two Eagles, one.

00:14:49.635 --> 00:14:52.477
I've got the exact same order for the NFC East.

00:14:52.477 --> 00:14:56.721
I think that's pretty predictable, so no need for me to elaborate there.

00:14:56.761 --> 00:14:58.923
I'll go ahead and lean on you for that one man Light work.

00:14:59.565 --> 00:15:00.725
All right, okay, who you got?

00:15:00.725 --> 00:15:01.466
Nfc West.

00:15:02.570 --> 00:15:05.397
All right, nfc West number four I have the Arizona Cardinals.

00:15:05.397 --> 00:15:18.076
I think they are going to be a little bit better this year with a healthy Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison to fold in the mix, but the other three teams in the division are all good teams so it's going to be hard to get past them.

00:15:19.390 --> 00:15:22.760
That being said, my third team is the Seattle Seahawks.

00:15:22.760 --> 00:15:24.096
Of course they got a solid QB Geno, seattle Seahawks.

00:15:24.096 --> 00:15:25.977
Of course they got a solid QB Geno.

00:15:25.977 --> 00:15:34.085
They got DK and Tyler Lockett outside and Jackson Smith and Jigba, the second-year first-round receiver.

00:15:34.085 --> 00:15:36.846
So I think they're a solid team.

00:15:36.846 --> 00:15:41.418
The top two teams are very good, so not going to put them ahead of those teams.

00:15:41.418 --> 00:15:43.738
Number two I have the LA Rams.

00:15:43.738 --> 00:15:46.432
I expect them to make the playoffs Healthy.

00:15:46.432 --> 00:15:51.301
Matt Stafford, kyron Williams, who was a really good rookie running back last year.

00:15:51.301 --> 00:15:55.801
They got Puka Nakua and Cooper Cup healthy Cooper Cup on the outside.

00:15:56.269 --> 00:16:01.892
So, I think they're going to have a solid season and make the playoffs Number one.

00:16:01.892 --> 00:16:04.440
I have the San Fran 49ers.

00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:06.933
I think a little bit.

00:16:06.933 --> 00:16:18.143
I don't think they're going to be quite as good as last year, but I do think it's going to be good enough to finish first in this division because they do have a stacked roster, despite the few problems they have.

00:16:18.509 --> 00:16:23.649
Yeah, I think they have a Super Bowl hangover, but I'm going to give you my NFC West.

00:16:23.649 --> 00:16:24.895
I've got number four.

00:16:24.895 --> 00:16:26.195
I've got Seattle Seahawks.

00:16:26.195 --> 00:16:28.618
I think they're going to miss Pete Carroll.

00:16:28.618 --> 00:16:31.578
I think that is a move that they'll regret.

00:16:31.830 --> 00:16:33.998
So I wish they still had him.

00:16:33.998 --> 00:16:37.173
I think that's going to bump them down Arizona Cardinals.

00:16:37.173 --> 00:16:39.936
Kyler Murray I think he has a solid season.

00:16:39.936 --> 00:16:42.719
Needs to start showing what he can do again.

00:16:42.719 --> 00:16:46.251
Marvin Harrison Jr defense is stepping up.

00:16:46.251 --> 00:16:47.813
I think they surprise people.

00:16:47.813 --> 00:16:49.514
Finish third Number two.

00:16:49.514 --> 00:16:51.716
I've got the San Francisco 49ers.

00:16:51.716 --> 00:16:52.177
That Super.

00:16:52.197 --> 00:16:54.779
Bowl hangover Bumps them down to two.

00:16:54.779 --> 00:16:58.403
Yep, yep, I think that's the surprise, but I know I'm right about that.

00:16:58.403 --> 00:17:01.426
And then, number one, I've got the LA Rams.

00:17:01.426 --> 00:17:02.966
Yes, think McVay.

00:17:02.966 --> 00:17:05.191
Mcvay's a solid coach.

00:17:05.191 --> 00:17:06.855
He's going to cook up some great schemes.

00:17:06.855 --> 00:17:08.140
You've got Cooper Cup.

00:17:08.140 --> 00:17:10.999
He's going to be back to his triple crown form.

00:17:11.411 --> 00:17:13.220
Oh, that's going to be hard, yeah, man.

00:17:13.309 --> 00:17:16.339
I think the Rams are going to have a good season.

00:17:16.339 --> 00:17:19.880
I've got them winning the division and making a strong run this year.

00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:20.602
La Rams.

00:17:20.602 --> 00:17:21.733
Yes, you heard it here first.

00:17:22.296 --> 00:17:23.118
All right.

00:17:24.063 --> 00:17:24.826
Pick the pros.

00:17:24.826 --> 00:17:30.672
All right, pros, all right.

00:17:30.672 --> 00:17:31.714
Well, let's quickly get into the wild card.

00:17:31.714 --> 00:17:36.170
And then a moment y'all been waiting for at least the people in our fantasy league, the vip, the vip subscribers for pick and pros.

00:17:36.170 --> 00:17:40.980
We have our inaugural pick and pro league and we are picking the draft order.

00:17:40.980 --> 00:17:43.532
The draft is next week, august 24th.

00:17:43.532 --> 00:17:49.535
We're drafting uh, and then we'll actually film that and that will be our show the following week.

00:17:49.535 --> 00:17:50.778
But can't wait for that.

00:17:50.778 --> 00:17:51.740
Oh, it's going to be so fun.

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:53.854
So we're going to pick it's 13 teams.

00:17:53.854 --> 00:18:01.720
So it's going to be tough to draft, but we're going to pick the draft order so those in our league will know where you're picking it.

00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:08.030
Just a little bit, but all right, so we know.

00:18:08.030 --> 00:18:09.654
For the division, you've got the lions, panthers, eagles and 49ers.

00:18:09.654 --> 00:18:10.557
They are locks, they're in the playoffs.

00:18:10.557 --> 00:18:12.181
Who are your three wild card teams?

00:18:12.741 --> 00:18:14.173
all right, my three wild cards.

00:18:14.173 --> 00:18:19.567
Number three my third wild card is the rams um last wild card team.

00:18:19.567 --> 00:18:28.571
Think they have a good season, sneak into the playoffs and with with everything I said about him earlier okay number two have the dallas cowboys.

00:18:28.571 --> 00:18:38.446
Don't think they're going to be quite as good as last year, but of course they'll find a way to get into the playoffs and then embarrassingly lose fox will make sure they get in.

00:18:38.647 --> 00:18:39.790
Yeah, they'll get in.

00:18:39.790 --> 00:18:41.294
Okay, all right number one.

00:18:41.314 --> 00:18:42.596
I have the green bay packers.

00:18:42.596 --> 00:18:44.501
I like the run they had last year.

00:18:44.501 --> 00:18:46.243
Um, I like their running game.

00:18:46.243 --> 00:18:48.636
I think their running game is going to be more reliable and better.

00:18:48.636 --> 00:18:53.394
So, yeah, that's my wild card teams, man okay, you got no solid picks.

00:18:53.473 --> 00:18:57.750
I think most people would agree with those picks, uh, but I've got slightly different.

00:18:57.750 --> 00:19:04.971
So again, I've got detroit lions, atlanta falcons, philadelphia eagles, and la rams is my four division winners.

00:19:04.971 --> 00:19:07.960
Those are my locks, my, my wild cards, okay.

00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.815
Third spot I've got the Dallas Cowboys.

00:19:10.815 --> 00:19:13.560
I've got the Cowboys squeaking in, okay.

00:19:14.021 --> 00:19:17.855
Oh, wow the commissioner, uh no.

00:19:18.017 --> 00:19:23.855
I've got um, I've got Eagles, I got Eagles win, but the Cowboys get in there and they get in there in the final spot.

00:19:23.855 --> 00:19:27.690
That second spot, I've got Chicago bears there.

00:19:27.690 --> 00:19:28.853
They get in there, the final spot, that second spot.

00:19:28.873 --> 00:19:30.115
I've got chicago bears, the bears getting to the playoffs.

00:19:30.134 --> 00:19:38.961
Bears kate caleb williams the next the next, patrick mahomes uh is going to do his thing I think the bears have a resurgence, is a thing and are in the playoff.

00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.413
Shout out it's hard for first year.

00:19:41.413 --> 00:19:51.558
It's hard for first year um, first year number one overall quarterbacks to do well because expectations are very high and, yeah, he does have a pretty good roster.

00:19:51.558 --> 00:19:56.877
So I think he should be solid but make to be that high in the playoffs Wow.

00:19:56.998 --> 00:20:00.255
It's difficult, that's very difficult If you're Bryce Young.

00:20:00.255 --> 00:20:03.201
It's difficult, it's difficult to deal with those expectations.

00:20:03.402 --> 00:20:06.554
No, okay, caleb Williams, they are the same prospect.

00:20:06.554 --> 00:20:07.036
They're the same.

00:20:07.036 --> 00:20:10.676
He has a slightly better team they will.

00:20:10.676 --> 00:20:19.160
They will be solid, but they will not be a playoff okay, oh, chicago, stand up, shot town, all right I think you may become a bears fan.

00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:20.890
Bears finishing higher than the packers.

00:20:20.890 --> 00:20:21.290
What are you doing?

00:20:21.290 --> 00:20:22.251
The bears finishing higher than the packers.

00:20:22.251 --> 00:20:22.991
See, I am objective, I'm objective.

00:20:23.011 --> 00:20:24.653
and then, in that first spot, I got the san finishing higher than the Packers.

00:20:24.653 --> 00:20:26.655
See, I am objective, I'm objective.

00:20:26.655 --> 00:20:30.219
And then, in that first spot, I've got the San Francisco 49ers.

00:20:30.219 --> 00:20:33.541
So they will have a Super Bowl hangover, but not that much of a hangover.

00:20:33.541 --> 00:20:38.826
Okay, they'll sleep it off by midseason and they'll be able to get into the playoffs.

00:20:38.826 --> 00:20:39.750
Jeez.

00:20:39.830 --> 00:20:41.113
And maybe make a little noise there.

00:20:41.252 --> 00:20:46.382
All right, so, man ready to determine who our draft, what the draft order is going to be.

00:20:46.461 --> 00:20:47.423
Yeah, man, all right.

00:20:47.443 --> 00:20:48.005
All right, let's do it.

00:20:48.005 --> 00:20:52.561
So we have Miss Keisha, who works here Pick'em Pros headquarters.

00:20:52.561 --> 00:20:55.699
Well, she's going to come on and she is going to draw the name.

00:20:55.699 --> 00:20:56.580
See, we're being fair.

00:20:56.580 --> 00:20:58.517
So we have all the names in a bowl.

00:20:58.517 --> 00:21:03.057
She's going to join us and actually pull the names and then that's going to determine the draft order.

00:21:03.057 --> 00:21:07.750
We couldn't think of any other, uh, fairer way, more fair way to do this.

00:21:07.750 --> 00:21:11.761
So that's the way we're gonna do it all right, cool, let's do it all right, all right.

00:21:11.849 --> 00:21:18.595
So this is the moment that everybody in our fantasy league has been waiting on we are determining the draft order, all right.

00:21:18.595 --> 00:21:20.661
So we've got miss keisha here.

00:21:20.661 --> 00:21:39.519
She is one of our number one fans, number one subscribers of pick'em pros, works here in Pick'em Pro headquarters, all right, and she's going to, so we can be non-biased and whatnot, okay, although I did say she works at Pick'em Pro headquarters, so I don't know how non-biased she is, but we've got the jar right here of the names.

00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:40.955
She's going to pull the jar.

00:21:40.955 --> 00:21:44.174
We've got 13 teams in our league, lucky 13.

00:21:44.174 --> 00:21:46.019
So we're going 13 through 1.

00:21:46.019 --> 00:21:49.084
So the first one you pick is going to have the 13th pick in the draft.

00:21:49.084 --> 00:21:52.607
The next one is going to be 12th, so we're going to go 13 to 1.

00:21:52.607 --> 00:21:52.808
All right.

00:21:52.808 --> 00:21:54.315
So she's not looking.

00:21:54.315 --> 00:21:55.278
The names are here.

00:21:55.278 --> 00:21:58.298
She's going to pull them and we're going to write them down.

00:21:58.298 --> 00:22:01.675
So just pick the first one out, and this is the 13th.

00:22:01.675 --> 00:22:12.616
This one has Okay, dc Nation.

00:22:12.910 --> 00:22:14.476
Okay, yep, yep, that's David.

00:22:14.476 --> 00:22:16.532
That's DC, dc Nation.

00:22:16.532 --> 00:22:18.961
You have the number 13 pick 12.

00:22:18.961 --> 00:22:23.640
Oh, okay, state Farm Okay, that's Smitty.

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.701
He's the commissioner in our other league, fantasy football guru.

00:22:27.701 --> 00:22:29.596
He's got the number 12 pick.

00:22:29.596 --> 00:22:31.277
I know he'll know what to do with that.

00:22:31.277 --> 00:22:34.938
Okay, number 11 pick.

00:22:42.130 --> 00:22:42.652
All right, oh, hey, hey.

00:22:42.652 --> 00:22:43.695
Hey, that's yours truly all right.

00:22:43.695 --> 00:22:44.619
You're gonna get a receiver man, okay.

00:22:44.619 --> 00:22:52.281
