Yeah, do you know who's playing?

00:01:02.901 --> 00:01:04.304
We got a Notre Dame in Indiana.

00:01:04.504 --> 00:01:05.126
Oh, okay.

00:01:05.206 --> 00:01:06.207
Okay, that's impressive.

00:01:06.248 --> 00:01:06.888
That's impressive.

00:01:06.888 --> 00:01:09.414
Well, hey, we've got a fire show for you today.

00:01:09.414 --> 00:01:12.206
We've got Brianna joining us once again.

00:01:12.206 --> 00:01:16.402
She's going to school us on who the best team in the NFC is right now.

00:01:16.402 --> 00:01:20.707
We're also going to dive into all the picks this week.

00:01:20.707 --> 00:01:25.375
We have been battling the last few weeks, so Diego has won this season.

00:01:25.375 --> 00:01:27.787
He's won this season, so we give him that.

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.826
And so we decided to start another challenge for our NFL picks.

00:01:31.826 --> 00:01:34.569
So we've had a competition.

00:01:34.569 --> 00:01:37.465
It's not just for me to win, it's just to get Brianna involved.

00:01:37.465 --> 00:01:38.349
She's new to the show.

00:01:38.349 --> 00:01:42.480
Chris just came on board, so we wanted to let them get involved in our picks.

00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:43.222
You know what I mean.

00:01:43.222 --> 00:01:45.430
So you won the head-to-head battle for me.

00:01:45.430 --> 00:01:50.569
Now we've got Chris and Brianna here, so we want to have a little battle with them for four weeks.

00:01:50.569 --> 00:01:51.885
So we're halfway in.

00:01:51.885 --> 00:01:54.046
Okay, you two are in the lead right now.

00:01:54.046 --> 00:01:56.126
You're like 23-7.

00:01:56.126 --> 00:01:57.906
So congratulations to you.

00:01:57.906 --> 00:02:04.742
But you're on notice, okay, because Brianna and myself are three games back and we're coming.

00:02:04.742 --> 00:02:09.347
Matter of fact, chris, I think you had a big defeat last night, didn't you?

00:02:10.287 --> 00:02:10.828
Oh yeah.

00:02:10.828 --> 00:02:14.250
So I picked the Broncos over the Chargers.

00:02:14.250 --> 00:02:17.151
Ok, I had a good reason.

00:02:17.151 --> 00:02:20.294
The Broncos were hot and the Chargers were falling apart the last few games.

00:02:20.294 --> 00:02:24.177
It was a very disturbing trend for them and I thought I was right in the first half.

00:02:24.177 --> 00:02:32.165
And then I fell asleep but I was like, ah, they had just.

00:02:32.165 --> 00:02:34.432
I weirdly have justin herbert on my tvd at 22 points.

00:02:34.432 --> 00:02:35.576
So, matthew stafford, I need you to show up.

00:02:35.597 --> 00:02:35.978
So please, please do.

00:02:35.978 --> 00:02:37.542
We're definitely trolling you on that.

00:02:37.542 --> 00:02:39.066
Well, let's, let's get into the week.

00:02:39.066 --> 00:02:40.049
Uh 16.

00:02:40.049 --> 00:02:42.581
Let's preview this week here as we go.

00:02:42.581 --> 00:02:50.187
So, diego, I believe you were like, were like me and picked that game correct last night the Broncos and Chargers.

00:02:50.187 --> 00:02:52.649
I believe you picked the Chargers as I did.

00:02:52.649 --> 00:02:58.346
I think you may have copied me on that one, but tell us about that game and why did you pick the Chargers?

00:02:58.346 --> 00:02:59.825
A lot of people pick Broncos.

00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:13.568
I picked the Chargers because they're at home and they really needed that game, to have the true tiebreaker over the Broncos, yeah, and to get a little closer to the Chiefs.

00:03:13.568 --> 00:03:18.647
Well, even though the Chiefs clinched it, never mind, but still just to help their playoff chance and try to clinch a spot.

00:03:18.908 --> 00:03:23.562
Okay, all right, okay, yeah, yeah, well, yeah, man, this was very clear to me.

00:03:23.562 --> 00:03:35.469
Again, you said the Chargers at home and whatnot, but the Chargers have been so up and down this year and coming off that loss, I knew that they were primed for a win.

00:03:35.469 --> 00:03:37.191
Right, it was just the cycle.

00:03:37.191 --> 00:03:39.312
And then the Broncos won about four in a row.

00:03:39.312 --> 00:03:45.556
Everybody was high on the Broncos getting a little too high on the Broncos, so it was the perfect setup.

00:03:45.997 --> 00:03:47.078
Perfect setup there.

00:03:47.078 --> 00:03:48.519
I would have been better.

00:03:50.002 --> 00:03:59.490
The perfect setup game, Should have put a little something on it, but that's okay, Because I did here the Bills.

00:03:59.490 --> 00:04:05.729
I did put a little something on the Bills game Because I saw that one coming from a mile away.

00:04:05.729 --> 00:04:10.127
This was my Island game last week and I snatched that one from you guys.

00:04:10.127 --> 00:04:20.189
You know it's interesting because I actually won last week, Even though we tied last week and we all went 12-4, I think I went from the tiebreaker from having that game.

00:04:20.189 --> 00:04:21.360
Y'all got to give that to me right?

00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.442
Yeah, we had the same record?

00:04:22.541 --> 00:04:24.605
No, we're not getting a D, no, okay.

00:04:24.605 --> 00:04:32.129
Well, it's not what we do over here.

00:04:32.129 --> 00:04:34.127
We celebrate winners, we win.

00:04:36.391 --> 00:04:43.307
Well, all of our Buffalo Bill fans out there, we got a lot of new subscribers in Buffalo because they see how I'm repping for them.

00:04:43.307 --> 00:04:45.627
So, yeah, you know what I mean.

00:04:46.524 --> 00:04:47.146
Growing the channel.

00:04:47.146 --> 00:04:55.699
Buffalo fans, you should be scared that this man right here is picking you a lot, because whenever that happens, that team seems to lose.

00:04:56.122 --> 00:04:57.307
Hey man, I've been on it.

00:04:57.307 --> 00:05:08.660
I've said for weeks now they were the best team in the AFC, and I said for about a month that Josh Allen is the MVP, and now everybody else is just seeing that it's becoming clear.

00:05:08.660 --> 00:05:09.742
I've been saying that.

00:05:09.742 --> 00:05:15.170
You know what I mean, been saying that, but anyway, I'm not going to beat you guys down with that too much.

00:05:15.170 --> 00:05:18.711
I'm going to beat you guys down on some of these other topics that we'll get into later.

00:05:18.711 --> 00:05:22.483
Merry Christmas to y'all, and we're going to give you a great fire show today.

00:05:22.483 --> 00:05:25.767
All right, so let's get into our no-brainers, all right.

00:05:25.767 --> 00:05:28.670
So we've got 11 no-brainers here.

00:05:28.670 --> 00:05:31.713
Diego, why don't you start us off with the first one?

00:05:31.713 --> 00:05:33.557
These are the games that we all agree on.

00:05:33.557 --> 00:05:38.906
We'll get to the Island games and bring Bree on and talk about the games we disagree, but start with the first no-brainer.

00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:44.531
Yeah, this one Texans going into kansas city to play the chiefs we all got the chiefs in this one.

00:05:44.531 --> 00:05:46.685
Uh, they're an arrowhead at home.

00:05:46.685 --> 00:05:52.024
Even if patrick holmes doesn't play, I'm gonna pick them, just because I don't like how the texans have played this year.

00:05:52.024 --> 00:05:59.821
Yeah, I just think like they haven't played that well against the good teams, I guess, and they just they haven't even had to play that well against the bad team.

00:05:59.821 --> 00:06:02.165
So I'm just thinking we can't say no matter what.

00:06:02.745 --> 00:06:09.187
Okay, man, that seems like a shot at another, shot at CJ, that's not just a shot at CJ.

00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.550
It definitely is, but it's a shot at the whole team, including CJ.

00:06:13.550 --> 00:06:17.043
Okay, it wasn't just CJ.

00:06:17.122 --> 00:06:19.749
Wow, okay, all right, all right, interesting, interesting.

00:06:19.749 --> 00:06:20.971
Let me see that comment there.

00:06:20.971 --> 00:06:25.055
Tell the truth, diego Buddy, I saw that out of the corner of my eye.

00:06:25.055 --> 00:06:27.016
I had to check and see what that was.

00:06:27.016 --> 00:06:30.975
Texas, please be funny.

00:06:30.975 --> 00:06:37.779
Okay, alright, chris man, I mean, it's probably not much on this one yeah, chiefs and Arrowhead in December.

00:06:38.021 --> 00:06:40.682
It's, you know, this is starting to be the tune up for the playoffs.

00:06:40.682 --> 00:06:41.848
They're gonna lock in.

00:06:41.848 --> 00:06:44.019
Mahomes is gonna do the whole warrior spirit.

00:06:44.019 --> 00:06:45.014
My ankles and his ankles gonna be magically be fine, and they're gonna, you know, for the playoffs.

00:06:45.014 --> 00:06:45.238
They're going to lock in.

00:06:45.238 --> 00:06:47.163
Mahomes is going to do the whole warrior spirit, his ankle's going to magically be fine.

00:06:47.163 --> 00:06:50.192
They're going to do their thing.

00:06:50.192 --> 00:06:56.449
Texas already clinched the playoffs, so they're already going to be comfortable probably being a four seed, so I'm not even too worried about that.

00:06:58.440 --> 00:06:59.064
Let's move on.

00:06:59.064 --> 00:07:00.461
Not much else to say on that one.

00:07:00.461 --> 00:07:02.261
Let's get to our second one here.

00:07:02.261 --> 00:07:03.726
Who we got in this one?

00:07:03.726 --> 00:07:04.088
Diego.

00:07:05.779 --> 00:07:06.658
This on that one.

00:07:06.658 --> 00:07:06.899
Let's get to our second one here.

00:07:06.899 --> 00:07:07.021
Who we got in this one, diego.

00:07:07.021 --> 00:07:13.386
This one we got Giants traveling to the ATL to play the Falcons and we got the Falcons, michael Penix, starting.

00:07:13.386 --> 00:07:17.151
This is the perfect game to throw a quarterback in.

00:07:17.151 --> 00:07:21.447
They're playing the perfect team, so I think he's going to play great and they're going to win.

00:07:21.447 --> 00:07:22.906
That is a great point.

00:07:23.108 --> 00:07:24.113
Yeah, that is a great point.

00:07:24.134 --> 00:07:27.125
Yeah, that's a great point I'm just really excited to see michael pennix's debut.

00:07:27.125 --> 00:07:34.120
Kirk cousins has, you know, left a lot to be desired, and the fact that they're playing him 92 million dollars to sit on the bench is kind of crazy.

00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.447
But you know what it's atlanta, so you know they always do something crazy.

00:07:37.447 --> 00:07:42.887
So we just see how michael pennix does and I hope he balls out, because I loved how he played at Washington.

00:07:42.887 --> 00:07:44.529
So I hope he has a great week this week.

00:07:45.110 --> 00:07:48.206
He was a beast at Washington, so we'll see how they play.

00:07:48.206 --> 00:07:52.168
That'll be the only reason to watch somebody play against the Giants.

00:07:52.168 --> 00:07:54.026
We'll see what he does there.

00:07:54.026 --> 00:07:55.985
Okay, let's move on to the next one.

00:07:55.985 --> 00:07:56.749
Next, no-brainer.

00:07:57.922 --> 00:08:00.723
Next, we've got the Lions traveling to Chicago to play the Bears.

00:08:00.723 --> 00:08:02.795
We all got Detroit in this one to play the Bears.

00:08:02.795 --> 00:08:03.519
We all got Detroit in this one.

00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.524
Detroit's just a beast.

00:08:05.524 --> 00:08:09.805
Chicago, they've lost eight in a row and I think the streak's going to continue.

00:08:09.805 --> 00:08:13.247
My gosh, I don't believe in them.

00:08:13.802 --> 00:08:14.658
I don't believe in them at all.

00:08:14.658 --> 00:08:16.985
Do you believe in Caleb?

00:08:16.985 --> 00:08:18.168
Caleb Williams?

00:08:19.791 --> 00:08:21.725
Yeah, he's not bad.

00:08:21.725 --> 00:08:24.449
He's not bad, he's solid.

00:08:25.081 --> 00:08:34.687
I feel like Caleb again we've talked about it previously is in the situation that Bryce was, where you had an inept coach, you didn't have a good coordinator, there was so much turmoil going on.

00:08:34.687 --> 00:08:35.610
They're still going to lose this game.

00:08:35.610 --> 00:08:36.745
I'm not going to like it for them.

00:08:36.745 --> 00:08:41.586
All of a sudden it'll be the Lions, but I do think that Caleb is.

00:08:41.586 --> 00:08:43.671
You know he's going to improve next year.

00:08:43.671 --> 00:08:45.934
They get a good coach, we're going to see.

00:08:45.934 --> 00:08:52.547
But you know, I feel like this is going to be the hey, let's put on good tape, like that's basically the testament for the rest of the Bears season.

00:08:52.547 --> 00:08:52.807
Right?

00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:54.591
Okay.

00:08:54.631 --> 00:08:55.092
Yeah, I agree.

00:08:55.114 --> 00:08:58.326
All right, yeah, and the Lions are coming off a loss.

00:08:58.326 --> 00:08:59.951
As I begin, love the Lions.

00:08:59.951 --> 00:09:01.844
That's the hometown, that's the fam right there.

00:09:01.844 --> 00:09:03.648
Shout out Much love to Detroit.

00:09:03.648 --> 00:09:10.006
But again, this is picks, not personal, and again, when you know something's going to happen, you have to call it how you know it's going to happen.

00:09:10.006 --> 00:09:12.649
So, again, I knew the Bills were going to win that game.

00:09:12.649 --> 00:09:16.888
But, with that being said, I know that the Lions are going to win this game.

00:09:16.888 --> 00:09:22.926
Coming off of that loss and going into Chicago, caleb Williams will get his ninth loss in a row.

00:09:22.926 --> 00:09:34.517
But again, like we like to say here in Carolina, it's the O-line, it's the defense, it's the coach, it's the owner, it's the stadium, it's everything.

00:09:34.517 --> 00:09:34.897
But him.

00:09:36.980 --> 00:09:42.489
Our quarterback has literally shown up and we've literally lost like maybe three games because somebody else on our team screwed up royally.

00:09:42.489 --> 00:09:47.366
It was the defense versus the Chiefs, it was Chubab versus the Bucs, and then it was A-Rail again versus the Eagles.

00:09:47.366 --> 00:09:49.346
Now did we get destroyed by the Cowboys?

00:09:49.346 --> 00:09:53.230
Absolutely, but the three games prior, bryce, it's no longer Bryce's fault.

00:09:53.640 --> 00:09:56.990
Caleb was like I didn't hear anything about the O-line before the year.

00:09:57.110 --> 00:10:01.634
Neither did I, or the fact that he has three great wide receivers and everybody.

00:10:01.634 --> 00:10:05.436
There's about at least 20 teams in the NFL who would want that wide receiver room.

00:10:05.436 --> 00:10:06.437
All of a sudden they can't play.

00:10:06.437 --> 00:10:08.538
I find it a little weird, just saying.

00:10:10.462 --> 00:10:11.969
They had three amazing receivers.

00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:13.308
Okay.

00:10:13.490 --> 00:10:14.340
Did Des say that?

00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:14.841
Yes, he did.

00:10:14.902 --> 00:10:19.788
He said they had three amazing receivers Okay, but Caleb Williams is not a bust.

00:10:19.788 --> 00:10:20.690
No.

00:10:22.162 --> 00:10:30.990
I think with our team we've kind of proven like hey't, don't immediately, you know, throw, throw people out right before, like we, just you just gonna wait and see.

00:10:30.990 --> 00:10:32.702
I'm again gonna give him next year.

00:10:32.702 --> 00:10:39.354
I feel like with bryce, again it's gonna be like hey, we gave him this year, he's shown improvement, now he needs to build on this bryce is different.

00:10:39.374 --> 00:10:42.423
Bryce is just yeah, yeah, bryce is different.

00:10:42.423 --> 00:10:46.972
Yes, that is true, 5 inches shorter.

00:10:46.972 --> 00:10:50.188
Ok, let's move on to the next one.

00:10:50.188 --> 00:10:52.389
We got an hour show, so we can't stay on that one too long.

00:10:52.389 --> 00:10:56.019
Alright, cleveland Browns, I'll let you take my man.

00:10:56.702 --> 00:10:59.534
Cleveland Browns traveling to Cincy to play the Bengals.

00:10:59.534 --> 00:11:00.818
We all got the Bengals.

00:11:00.818 --> 00:11:02.210
The Browns are.

00:11:02.210 --> 00:11:08.269
No one cares about them anymore because Jameis is on the bench and the Bengals are fighting for a spot set.

00:11:08.269 --> 00:11:09.731
They should be pretty exciting at least.

00:11:10.201 --> 00:11:24.475
So we're all going with them because they're they're hungry and uh yeah, yeah, the bangles have a very slim chance of making the playoffs, but a chance nonetheless, so I figure they're gonna try to come out and play their best football, hopefully if dtr DTR lights up this defense.

00:11:24.475 --> 00:11:32.708
We got to have a serious conversation about the Bengals' defensive coordinator and that whole system right there, because there's no way the DTR should come in and light them up.

00:11:32.708 --> 00:11:38.142
I hope that the Bengals win this game, but knowing that it's probably going to be a stressful nail-biter to the end.

00:11:38.142 --> 00:11:38.964
So we'll see.

00:11:38.984 --> 00:11:43.932
Okay, yeah, yeah, I think it's another uh game I got right.

00:11:43.932 --> 00:11:48.136
You know, picking the bangles last week, I think I did you guys pick the bangles last week, I don't think it is.

00:11:48.177 --> 00:11:48.976
That was probably just me.

00:11:48.976 --> 00:11:50.104
Did they play?

00:11:50.163 --> 00:11:50.645
the bangles.

00:11:50.645 --> 00:11:51.568
I can't remember.

00:11:51.870 --> 00:11:53.876
I remember I got that right.

00:11:53.876 --> 00:11:55.341
Oh wait, they played tennessee.

00:11:55.501 --> 00:11:56.384
Yeah, they played tennessee.

00:11:56.423 --> 00:11:59.231
Oh yeah, for sure oh no, you know what I'm thinking.

00:11:59.231 --> 00:12:02.846
The week before that, when they played the cowboys uh, yeah did, yeah, we did.

00:12:03.025 --> 00:12:04.067
We'll have to fact check.

00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:11.208
Okay, let's go on to the next one.

00:12:11.229 --> 00:12:11.591
What do we got?

00:12:11.591 --> 00:12:21.089
Oh boy, we got the Tennessee Titans going to Indianapolis to play the Colts, and we all have the Colts in this one.

00:12:21.089 --> 00:12:21.797
They're at home.

00:12:21.797 --> 00:12:23.225
Anthony Richardson has come back.

00:12:23.225 --> 00:12:24.681
Since his binging, he's played okay.

00:12:24.681 --> 00:12:25.162
So that's home.

00:12:25.162 --> 00:12:26.003
Anthony Richardson has come back.

00:12:26.003 --> 00:12:27.485
Since his binging, he's played okay.

00:12:27.485 --> 00:12:29.929
That's good, even though he has thrown some picks, still playing good.

00:12:29.929 --> 00:12:30.772
We're just going with them.

00:12:30.772 --> 00:12:32.235
I think Tennessee's just tanking.

00:12:34.721 --> 00:12:35.565
In complete agreement.

00:12:35.565 --> 00:12:36.688
Tennessee's an upstart fire.

00:12:36.688 --> 00:12:39.970
Let's get to the next season for Tennessee as well.

00:12:39.970 --> 00:12:42.461
Another let's put on good tape so we don't get fired.

00:12:42.481 --> 00:12:44.607
Anthony Richardson trying to put on some good tape.

00:12:44.827 --> 00:12:46.741
Oh, for sure, For sure.

00:12:47.163 --> 00:12:56.059
Well, it looked like the Colts were trying to tank with the running back, throwing the ball behind his back before he scored a touchdown, I remember.

00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.187
Jonathan Taylor and crazy conversations.

00:12:58.187 --> 00:12:58.567
That's off.

00:12:58.567 --> 00:13:01.725
He's the best running back in football.

00:13:01.725 --> 00:13:05.248
Okay, all right, and I think we can put those to bed.

00:13:05.248 --> 00:13:06.785
We can definitely put those to bed.

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.751
Although I do have a fantasy football championship due to my man, jonathan Taylor.

00:13:11.751 --> 00:13:13.320
So big shout out to Jonathan Taylor.

00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:14.803
I appreciate that championship.

00:13:14.803 --> 00:13:17.532
Yes, yeah, we're going to speaking of fantasy.

00:13:17.532 --> 00:13:27.248
We are going to talk about fantasy football a little later, because we have the Pickham Pros Fantasy League that I happen to be in the final four of, and we have the trophy here, on set.

00:13:27.419 --> 00:13:28.802
I'm not going to reveal it just yet.

00:13:28.903 --> 00:13:32.772
You are, I am, you are Okay, okay, wow, shocker, I didn't know that.

00:13:32.772 --> 00:13:34.581
All right, we'll talk about that in a minute.

00:13:34.581 --> 00:13:36.322
Okay, let's hit the next game.

00:13:36.783 --> 00:13:39.865
Next one Rams going to New York to play.

00:13:39.865 --> 00:13:41.648
And we all got the Rams here.

00:13:41.648 --> 00:13:48.174
I mean they need each win they can get and the Jets are just bad, they're just a dumpster fire.

00:13:48.174 --> 00:13:53.220
And you know the Rams, they're a high-power offense looking for wins, we're going with them.

00:13:57.054 --> 00:14:03.297
Yeah, as a person who has both Pukunukuwa and Matthew Stafford on his fantasy team this week.

00:14:03.297 --> 00:14:08.087
Hey, la, if y'all don't win any games, if y'all don't win any games, if y'all don't ball out any game, I need y'all to ball out this one.

00:14:08.087 --> 00:14:09.091
So please, you know, turn up for me y'all.

00:14:09.110 --> 00:14:14.043
So shout out to the rams yeah, yeah, rams and dangerous, very dangerous team in the nfc.

00:14:14.043 --> 00:14:15.248
So we will talk about them.

00:14:15.248 --> 00:14:18.942
Is anybody bold enough to have them as their top team in the nfc?

00:14:18.942 --> 00:14:22.666
We'll find out as we talk about that a little later today.

00:14:22.666 --> 00:14:28.774
All right, hey, somebody might have them as their top team.

00:14:28.774 --> 00:14:30.056
Who knows they're balling out.

00:14:30.076 --> 00:14:31.596
I actually like the Rams.

00:14:31.596 --> 00:14:32.438
I actually like the Rams.

00:14:32.438 --> 00:14:33.058
They beat Buffalo.

00:14:33.058 --> 00:14:33.379
I like them.

00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:38.184
Okay so, if you're good enough to beat the Buffalo Bills, you're an amazing team.

00:14:38.567 --> 00:14:41.505
Yes, didn't the Raiders beat them?

00:14:43.001 --> 00:14:43.745
No, they didn't.

00:14:43.745 --> 00:14:44.701
No way, no way.

00:14:44.701 --> 00:14:46.323
But the Raiders did beat the Ravens.

00:14:46.323 --> 00:14:47.105
Oh, they did.

00:14:47.105 --> 00:14:48.909
Yeah, go All right.

00:14:49.831 --> 00:14:50.693
Stay quiet on that.

00:14:50.693 --> 00:14:51.861
Moving on All right.

00:14:54.940 --> 00:14:57.988
Eagles going to Woff DC to play the Commanders.

00:14:57.988 --> 00:14:59.532
We all got the Eagles.

00:14:59.532 --> 00:15:08.009
Yeah, they beat them pretty bad in the first game and their defense is going to be too much for Jayden because they sacked him, I think, eight times in the first game.

00:15:08.009 --> 00:15:09.966
So yeah, it should be something.

00:15:09.966 --> 00:15:17.645
If it's something similar, then Commanders aren't going to have a shot and they're not going to be able to get Terry McLaurin the ball, and that's the only way that they can win.

00:15:19.260 --> 00:15:26.722
So Philly is peaking at the right time, and I also need to win a bet that I have, like season rushing guards, with one of my friends.

00:15:26.722 --> 00:15:29.249
So, saquon, do your thing, man, let's.

00:15:29.249 --> 00:15:35.091
Let's have another game, like you did the first time versus washington, so I can put this to rest all right, yeah, yes, let's.

00:15:35.130 --> 00:15:36.221
Let's fatten those pockets.

00:15:36.221 --> 00:15:37.663
We've got to do that for sure.

00:15:37.663 --> 00:15:43.171
Yes, all right, so let's, uh, let's move on to the next one all right.

00:15:43.191 --> 00:15:49.788
Next one we got uh, we got the Vikings going to Seattle to play the Seahawks and we all got Minnesota in this one.

00:15:49.788 --> 00:15:53.188
They're really good 12-2.

00:15:53.188 --> 00:15:57.331
And they're still trying to stay there with Detroit.

00:15:57.331 --> 00:16:03.668
And, yes, seattle, they're coming off a loss and Minnesota they're just looking to get their wins.

00:16:05.712 --> 00:16:17.283
I'm thinking minnesota definitely wants to keep pace with detroit because the only week 18 matchup I'm really excited to see is them versus the lions to basically see who can win the division if the record still holds.

00:16:17.283 --> 00:16:20.693
So I definitely have minnesota in this one I agree.

00:16:20.734 --> 00:16:23.802
Yeah, I came close to choosing seattle in this one.

00:16:23.802 --> 00:16:27.110
They they seem like they're primed for one of those upset wins.

00:16:27.110 --> 00:16:27.952
They're at home.

00:16:27.952 --> 00:16:32.490
You know, geno Smith, I can see this being one that he pulls out.

00:16:32.490 --> 00:16:34.886
This smells upset to me, yeah.

00:16:34.886 --> 00:16:39.530
I can see it, but I just wasn't brave enough to go ahead and pull the trigger on this one.

00:16:39.530 --> 00:16:40.481
But I really wanted to lose.

00:16:40.501 --> 00:16:41.784
You have nothing to lose, wouldn't be?

00:16:41.804 --> 00:16:43.107
surprised you have nothing to lose.

00:16:43.107 --> 00:16:45.192
Wouldn't be surprised you have nothing to lose.

00:16:45.192 --> 00:16:47.639
I have a lot to lose you have nothing to lose, because I need my cause.

00:16:47.820 --> 00:16:50.706
I need my cause to get the funds, I'm only three games.

00:16:50.726 --> 00:16:51.347
That's nothing.

00:16:51.347 --> 00:16:53.572
That's nothing, that's nothing.

00:16:53.572 --> 00:16:59.782
And by you being, mr Conservative, not being on the island for any games, I'll probably overtake everybody.

00:17:00.143 --> 00:17:00.923
I don't need to make.

00:17:00.923 --> 00:17:04.106
I've already built up a cushion for myself where I don't need to pick crazy.

00:17:04.106 --> 00:17:04.646
That's that.

00:17:04.646 --> 00:17:05.769
That's a different competition.

00:17:05.788 --> 00:17:07.529
That's not this competition Now.

00:17:07.529 --> 00:17:09.712
Now we have, we have we have the great.

00:17:09.712 --> 00:17:13.155
Rihanna, we have the great Christopher Davis, we have more competition.

00:17:13.155 --> 00:17:22.491
Now I mean this this, this isn't just me playing pity pat with you, going easy on you.

00:17:22.491 --> 00:17:23.654
I mean now we got other people.

00:17:23.654 --> 00:17:24.999
Pickham Pros has grown the brand.

00:17:24.999 --> 00:17:28.982
Look at the gear, look at, look, we got retro.

00:17:28.982 --> 00:17:29.683
You know what I'm saying.

00:17:29.683 --> 00:17:30.266
We've been out so long.

00:17:30.266 --> 00:17:30.826
We've got retro designs.

00:17:30.826 --> 00:17:32.171
Now, like you know what I'm saying, that's right.

00:17:32.171 --> 00:17:32.551
I like that.

00:17:32.551 --> 00:17:32.813
All right.

00:17:33.233 --> 00:17:36.000
Okay, let's move on to the next one, all right, uh, oh boy.

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.481
Next one.

00:17:36.481 --> 00:17:40.369
We got uh patriots traveling to buffalo to play the bills.

00:17:40.369 --> 00:17:42.320
Uh, this one should be ugly.

00:17:42.320 --> 00:17:44.366
Um, yeah, we all got the Buffalo.

00:17:44.366 --> 00:17:45.471
Nothing should be said.

00:17:45.471 --> 00:17:48.101
Yeah, I feel bad for Drake.

00:17:48.101 --> 00:17:50.443
May, I'm not going to lie, I don't even like UNC.

00:17:50.463 --> 00:17:55.928
I feel bad for the guy the guy playing quarterback for the Bills had five touchdowns on the Lions.

00:17:55.928 --> 00:17:58.808
I worry what he's going to do to that poor Patriots team.

00:17:58.808 --> 00:18:05.450
Josh Allen's probably going to go get his numbers and we're going to see a great blowout.

00:18:05.450 --> 00:18:07.451
So shout out to the Bills.

00:18:07.451 --> 00:18:10.268
But yeah, New England and us are in the same position.

00:18:10.268 --> 00:18:11.786
We're all trying to get Travis Hunter.

00:18:11.786 --> 00:18:13.865
So, let's see how it goes.

00:18:14.969 --> 00:18:15.349
Agreed.

00:18:15.349 --> 00:18:17.707
Nothing else needs to be said on that one.

00:18:17.707 --> 00:18:18.348
Just move on.

00:18:21.002 --> 00:18:24.104
Yeah, next one Jags going to the Raiders in Las Vegas.

00:18:24.104 --> 00:18:27.988
And we all got Jags going to the Raiders Las Vegas and we all got the Jags in this one.

00:18:27.988 --> 00:18:32.070
But, yeah, they actually have some solid players in their team.

00:18:32.070 --> 00:18:39.190
They got some solid receivers, decent running game and the Raiders I just don't really know about them.

00:18:39.190 --> 00:18:41.685
So, yeah, we're just going with the.

00:18:41.705 --> 00:18:43.310
Jags Shador Sanders.

00:18:43.310 --> 00:18:48.303
Yeah, shador Sanders, that's what we know about the Raiders.

00:18:48.303 --> 00:18:49.707
Yes, they are tanking for real.

00:18:49.747 --> 00:18:51.874
yeah tanking for a specific player.

00:18:52.174 --> 00:19:03.607
So yeah, absolutely yeah, uh, this is one of those ones where you got to do an eeny meeny, miny moe, and which one hurts your stomach a little less so I'm gonna go I'm gonna stick with the jags.

00:19:03.607 --> 00:19:08.644
Uh, yeah, just I believe that they're better team with more talent.

00:19:08.644 --> 00:19:19.011
And again, the raiders outside of brock bowers, they don't necessarily have anybody worth of note, so yeah, yeah, we can just skip past this one, sanders.

00:19:19.173 --> 00:19:21.001
Yeah, let's get past this one for sure.

00:19:21.001 --> 00:19:26.413
Yep, jags, we got the jags and a Thriller Alright, last no-brainer.

00:19:26.721 --> 00:19:28.267
Yeah, we got Monday Night Thriller.

00:19:28.267 --> 00:19:31.384
Saints traveling to Lambeau to play the Packers.

00:19:31.384 --> 00:19:36.165
Yeah, it should be pretty bad Packers all day.

00:19:36.165 --> 00:19:39.425
They're at home, one of the last games for Christmas.

00:19:39.425 --> 00:19:44.108
The Saints just completely injured Chris Olave out.

00:19:44.108 --> 00:19:47.646
Kamara's banged up Derek Carr not starting.

00:19:47.646 --> 00:19:50.547
So yeah, definitely Green Bay.

00:19:51.769 --> 00:19:56.823
Yeah, shout out to Green Bay, shout out to Jordan Love during Toyota.

00:19:56.823 --> 00:20:06.228
I don't know if you've seen those jokes, but he weirdly balls out during the season where Toyota sells cars really cheap and all of a sudden he looks like he doesn't throw interceptions.

00:20:06.228 --> 00:20:08.501
It's actually a weird statistical thing.

00:20:08.722 --> 00:20:09.285
But Chad's a.

00:20:09.305 --> 00:20:09.726
Jordan Love.

00:20:09.726 --> 00:20:12.990
He's doing his thing Doing his thing.

00:20:13.273 --> 00:20:16.067
He got his money and he's balling, so shout out to him.

00:20:16.067 --> 00:20:19.645
All right, we'll see where the Packers fall in our NFC.

00:20:19.645 --> 00:20:21.325
Who's the best in NFC discussion?

00:20:21.325 --> 00:20:24.029
Okay, so those are our no-brainers.

00:20:24.029 --> 00:20:28.048
So we're going to touch on fantasy football and then we're going to get into our island games in a minute.

00:20:28.048 --> 00:20:30.729
But let's touch on fantasy football.

00:20:30.729 --> 00:20:33.829
So, pick'em pros, we have our league.

00:20:33.829 --> 00:20:37.106
We are down to the final four.

00:20:37.106 --> 00:20:38.971
Okay, final four.

00:20:38.971 --> 00:20:41.907
Get the hardware out here.

00:20:41.907 --> 00:20:43.727
We've gone ahead and picked this up.

00:20:43.727 --> 00:20:45.767
So, yes, check that out.

00:20:45.767 --> 00:20:47.205
Oh man, look at that.

00:20:47.205 --> 00:20:50.769
That is a nice piece of hardware.

00:20:50.769 --> 00:20:52.265
It definitely looks like the Lombardi.

00:20:52.265 --> 00:20:53.269
I'm just going to see.

00:20:53.269 --> 00:20:54.603
I'm blocking Diego's hair.

00:20:54.603 --> 00:20:55.625
I'm going to put it here.

00:20:55.625 --> 00:20:56.006
You know what?

00:20:56.006 --> 00:20:56.627
I'll just hold it.

00:20:56.627 --> 00:20:58.070
I'll just do this, you're trying to block it.

00:20:58.111 --> 00:20:58.913
Because you know what?

00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:07.160
I, I'm going to win it anyway, so I might as well just sit here and hold it like this I keep receipts.

00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:10.184
Hey, keep all the receipts.

00:21:10.204 --> 00:21:14.753
you want you, better hit the Kobe pose you know, Diego, Jason Tatum Just a little history.

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.163
So again, the Final Four.

00:21:16.163 --> 00:21:21.929
You are in the Final Four and we're in opposite brackets, so we could possibly meet in the championship.

00:21:21.929 --> 00:21:22.830
So that would be interesting.

00:21:22.830 --> 00:21:25.627
But I'm playing David Cook.

00:21:25.627 --> 00:21:37.133
Okay, he's a great fantasy football player and we made a trade, a huge trade that involved Josh, Allen, Connor, neighbors.

00:21:37.133 --> 00:21:38.727
It involved a lot of people.

00:21:38.727 --> 00:21:41.308
So we made a great trade, benefited both of us.

00:21:41.308 --> 00:21:45.170
So it's only fitting that we're playing each other in the semifinals.

00:21:45.170 --> 00:21:50.265
So, David, looking forward to going against you this week, man Can't wait for that showdown.

00:21:50.265 --> 00:21:52.986
And then, Diego, you are going against Silas.

00:21:52.986 --> 00:21:57.088
So Silas represents Canada, Canada.

00:21:57.088 --> 00:22:00.307
Silas is a big, big supporter of picking pros.

00:22:00.307 --> 00:22:09.207
Silas had the number one pick and I believe he picked McCaffrey like most people did with the number one pick, but shout out to Silas.

00:22:09.700 --> 00:22:22.868
He clearly recovered from that and is here in the semifinals and is going against you, but our guy Silas has a special message for you, so let me go ahead and play this message.

00:22:22.868 --> 00:22:27.291
Got about a 45-second message for you, diego, specifically.

00:22:27.291 --> 00:22:29.163
Let's pull this up here.

00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:32.403
Honestly.

00:22:35.097 --> 00:22:39.153
Diego Thompson, I don't think you're ready for this.

00:22:39.153 --> 00:22:54.164
I don't think you're ready For the greatest team in this playoffs To destroy you, dismantle you, beat you by 100 and after that, after I dismantle Diego, it's on to the next, the finals.

00:22:54.164 --> 00:22:55.505
I've never lost in the finals.

00:22:55.505 --> 00:22:56.130
I'm like Michael Jordan.

00:22:56.130 --> 00:22:56.815
I've never lost in the finals.

00:22:56.815 --> 00:22:57.440
I'm like Michael Jordan.

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:58.085
I've never lost in the finals.

00:22:58.085 --> 00:23:00.012
I've also never been to the finals.

00:23:00.012 --> 00:23:01.351
So it's time to win.

00:23:01.351 --> 00:23:06.775
Derek, david, after I beat Diego, you guys need to watch out.

00:23:06.775 --> 00:23:15.345
I may be 5-7, but my team, my team is ready, my team is battle tested and my team is ready to win it all.

00:23:15.345 --> 00:23:16.991
I am taking home that trophy.

00:23:16.991 --> 00:23:18.689
Good luck to everyone out there.

00:23:18.689 --> 00:23:21.396
Good luck to Diego, good luck to Derek, good luck to David.

00:23:21.396 --> 00:23:23.126
You will need it.

00:23:28.116 --> 00:23:31.011
Hmm, all right, thank you, silas, for the message.

00:23:31.011 --> 00:23:33.090
Diego, do you care to respond?

00:23:33.132 --> 00:23:33.432
to that.

00:23:33.432 --> 00:23:36.074
As I said a few minutes ago, I keep receipts.

00:23:36.074 --> 00:23:42.634
I remember that I'm going to deliver a message to my team and we are going to beat them.

00:23:42.634 --> 00:23:45.027
I got confidence in my team Cooper Cup.

00:23:45.027 --> 00:23:49.209
As long as he doesn't score zero like he did last week, I think we're all right.

00:23:49.229 --> 00:24:00.819
Okay, and you know, shout out to you, man you had a receiver in Cooper Cup score zero points and you still managed to get by and make it to the semifinals.

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:06.998
But you know again, man, you know every league that I've ever played in, I've won the title in that league.

00:24:06.998 --> 00:24:08.588
Okay, so that is a fact.

00:24:08.588 --> 00:24:11.913
So this is a brand new league.

00:24:11.964 --> 00:24:21.910
This is the first year of this league, so I have to, it is my right, I think it just like bait may fall this way, because I have never won a fantasy football championship.

00:24:21.910 --> 00:24:22.352
That's right.

00:24:22.352 --> 00:24:25.648
It would be fitting for it to be in the Pickham Pro League.

00:24:25.648 --> 00:24:28.369
I just think that would work it would be pretty good.

00:24:28.390 --> 00:24:30.813
You want to hold this thing but, like I said, this thing is heavy.

00:24:30.813 --> 00:24:34.492
This is that's like the Lombardi for real.

00:24:34.492 --> 00:24:35.876
You know what I mean?

00:24:35.876 --> 00:24:37.548
The Lombardi for real.

00:24:37.548 --> 00:24:49.175
Yeah, yes, sir, yes, yes, all right, that's as close as you're going to get to it.

00:24:49.175 --> 00:24:53.154
Otherwise you'll see it in my room and in my office.

00:24:53.154 --> 00:25:02.113
But you know what, Just like when we drafted before, I'll have it sitting next to me when we draft next year and you'll get to see it and you'll know what to aspire to.

00:25:02.113 --> 00:25:04.417
So, all right, that's enough of that.

00:25:04.417 --> 00:25:08.015
Just wanted to pause and talk about our fantasy league.

00:25:08.015 --> 00:25:09.471
So, hey, you guys got to get in it.

00:25:09.471 --> 00:25:11.968
Brianna, I know you'll be joining us in a little bit.

00:25:11.968 --> 00:25:14.029
You've got to get in on this with us.

00:25:14.029 --> 00:25:16.574
We'll expand the league so we can get you in.

00:25:16.574 --> 00:25:19.817
Chris, we'll have to get you in and expand the competition.

00:25:19.817 --> 00:25:21.519
But again, there were a lot of doubters.

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:26.855
One other thing, diego, did you say when we drafted, when I drafted my team, and you said what?

00:25:26.855 --> 00:25:29.974
Tell everybody what you said to me after the draft.

00:25:31.246 --> 00:25:34.232
Didn't I say something like it was the worst team you ever picked?

00:25:34.232 --> 00:25:35.115
Yes, yeah.

00:25:35.115 --> 00:25:36.176
Yes, yep.

00:25:36.176 --> 00:25:38.652
Well, you're going to lose.

00:25:38.652 --> 00:25:41.145
So, I mean, I still stand by it.

00:25:41.508 --> 00:25:43.515
I mean, if you don't win that's not going to mean anything.

00:25:45.387 --> 00:25:45.751
Already.

00:25:45.751 --> 00:25:48.452
I've already proven the doubt is wrong Already.

00:25:48.452 --> 00:25:53.444
Okay, you haven't won anything, alright, alright, I basically have, basically have.

00:25:53.444 --> 00:25:53.945
Alright.

00:25:53.945 --> 00:25:59.669
Well, let's, man, are we ready to go on in and get to these island games?

00:25:59.669 --> 00:26:05.151
This is where we earn our money and raise money for good causes and we're in a tight battle.

00:26:05.151 --> 00:26:07.573
We ready to get into these island games where we disagree?

00:26:07.573 --> 00:26:08.432
Yeah, I'm ready.

00:26:08.432 --> 00:26:13.154
Okay, all right.

00:26:13.154 --> 00:26:21.839
Yeah, yeah, time to go to the island man.

00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:23.141
Okay, let's go.

00:26:23.141 --> 00:26:27.482
So the first island game.

00:26:27.482 --> 00:26:30.767
I know my accent's perfect, I know it's spot.

00:26:30.767 --> 00:26:32.589
On the first island game.

00:26:32.589 --> 00:26:38.640
My man, chris, who's tied for the lead in the second season of Pick'em Pros.

00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:45.452
Here We've got Miami as a one-and-a-half-point favorite, but it looks like you're going with the underdog.

00:26:45.452 --> 00:26:45.814
My man.

00:26:46.526 --> 00:27:02.476
I'm picking San Francisco mostly because you've got to do a morale thing After the whole—I think it's because of the whole Drake-Reylon situation and the whole thing with Devondre Campbell that it might inspire the team to show like, hey, we're performing as a united front.

00:27:02.476 --> 00:27:11.454
Because I feel like after last week and that loss, it left a bad taste in everybody's mouth and they definitely want to come out and give their best performances.

00:27:11.454 --> 00:27:16.104
Now my concern is going to be like like is the locker room divided after that?

00:27:16.104 --> 00:27:20.901
But it didn't seem like anybody was in disagreement on how they felt about that situation.

00:27:20.901 --> 00:27:25.356
So I definitely feel like they want to put their best foot forward towards the end of the season.

00:27:25.719 --> 00:27:31.057
And yeah, I understand it's miami and they're like it and they're like at home.

00:27:31.057 --> 00:27:38.088
But I I don't trust mike mcdaniel for some reason, like after the seeing them like almost come back versus the texans, I don't trust Mike McDaniel for some reason, After seeing them almost come back versus the Texans, I don't think they got it.

00:27:38.088 --> 00:27:40.251
I got San Francisco in this.

00:27:40.251 --> 00:27:41.628
I know Summer's cooking me right now.

00:27:41.669 --> 00:27:47.126
So this is not going to be great, but I got the Niners in this one Okay.

00:27:47.146 --> 00:27:52.733
All right, I was also laughing because my wife's comment about my accent.

00:27:52.884 --> 00:27:54.650
She said it was an interesting blend.

00:27:55.932 --> 00:27:56.213
Summer.

00:27:56.213 --> 00:27:57.396
Can you pull that back up?

00:27:57.396 --> 00:28:02.628
Why does my hubby's island accent sound like an African-India blend?

00:28:02.628 --> 00:28:07.036
Lord, Okay, I'm sorry, oh man.

00:28:07.036 --> 00:28:11.750
So where did we go from there, Diego?

00:28:13.088 --> 00:28:14.032
Yeah, the Dolphins.

00:28:14.032 --> 00:28:17.433
I just think that Niners there's a lot of drama with them.

00:28:17.433 --> 00:28:24.270
Debo, he's been choking teammates and been dropping passes and hasn't been playing that great.

00:28:24.270 --> 00:28:29.309
And then the Campbell stuff, that's not great either.

00:28:29.309 --> 00:28:35.307
And I just think the Dolphins they're just trying to make a final push for the playoffs and Tua's playing well.

00:28:35.307 --> 00:28:37.732
I just think they're going to try that final push.

00:28:38.575 --> 00:28:42.972
Yeah, yeah, I agree, chris man, I think you're reaching on this one.

00:28:42.972 --> 00:28:47.115
You got that Tua-Tyreek combo.

00:28:47.115 --> 00:28:47.876
They're at home.

00:28:48.826 --> 00:28:49.890
How well has that.

00:28:49.910 --> 00:28:51.094
Tua-Tyreek combo been all year.

00:28:51.907 --> 00:28:55.796
Am I tripping Because I ain't seen no Tyreek deep shot highlights all season.

00:28:56.505 --> 00:28:58.006
I all year Am I tripping Because I ain't seen no Tyreek deep shot highlights all season.

00:28:57.930 --> 00:29:00.048
Tyreek's had a wrist injury all year he's been questionable every single game.

00:29:00.048 --> 00:29:02.250
He's had a wrist injury, like your boy Leggett.

00:29:03.755 --> 00:29:05.923
Alright, at least he's had the wrist injury.

00:29:06.665 --> 00:29:11.227
He's still been balling Not really, but he's still had the wrist injury.

00:29:11.227 --> 00:29:12.392
But Leggett's just been.

00:29:13.689 --> 00:29:22.157
Alright, so yeah that's what we've got, and well, since you stopped them from catching anything, so you know, we'll see, but this should be a close game.

00:29:22.178 --> 00:29:23.829
This should be a close game.

00:29:23.829 --> 00:29:30.731
Uh, miami being at home and having a still somewhat being in the playoff picture, I think they'll pull it out.

00:29:30.731 --> 00:29:33.704
But uh, this, this will probably be settled by by a field goal.

00:29:33.704 --> 00:29:35.486
So we'll see what happens here.

00:29:35.486 --> 00:29:38.669
All right, let's go on to the next island game.

00:29:38.669 --> 00:29:42.011
Oh man, ooh, I feel so confident about this one.

00:29:42.011 --> 00:29:44.294
This is one where I am on an island.

00:29:44.294 --> 00:29:47.057
I love being on an island because this is where I gain ground.

00:29:47.537 --> 00:29:52.240
Okay, and you guys are set up, just like last week with that Buffalo Bill Detroit game.

00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:54.833
You were set up there, you got caught up.

00:29:54.833 --> 00:29:55.278
It's like a magician.

00:29:55.278 --> 00:29:55.805
You know what I'm saying?

00:29:55.805 --> 00:30:00.173
He's putting his hands over here, you're looking over here, but he's diverting your attention.

00:30:00.173 --> 00:30:03.150
That's the same thing that's happening here with the Baltimore Ravens.

00:30:03.150 --> 00:30:07.209
Right, the Tomlin does not lose two games in a row.

00:30:07.209 --> 00:30:09.811
All right, they've got hard knocks following them.

00:30:09.811 --> 00:30:12.111
There's no way, way, he's going to lose this game.

00:30:12.111 --> 00:30:13.555
This is the perfect game.

00:30:13.555 --> 00:30:16.323
When they're the underdog, this is the game that they win.

00:30:16.323 --> 00:30:18.987
When nobody thinks they're going to win, then they go in there.

00:30:18.987 --> 00:30:20.553
This is the game they're going to win.

00:30:20.553 --> 00:30:25.109
Russell Wilson's going to cook and that defense of Pittsburgh.

00:30:25.109 --> 00:30:31.026
They know Lamar Jackson inside and out, so he will struggle mightily against this defense.

00:30:31.026 --> 00:30:32.007
That'll be the difference.

00:30:32.007 --> 00:30:35.811
I'm going gonna put a little something on this one and have a very merry christmas.

00:30:36.313 --> 00:30:42.626
Yes, take it first my guy uh yeah well, did you not know that tj watt is uh questioning?

00:30:42.626 --> 00:30:47.027
He has a high ankle sprain oh really yeah, he's, he's actually, he's actually probably gonna play.

00:30:47.027 --> 00:30:50.819
He said, but uh, still he's gonna be very limited, okay.

00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:56.836
So so see, some, some people can play with an ankle injury but they also have their best wide receiver.

00:30:57.625 --> 00:30:59.070
And George Pickens is out too.

00:30:59.070 --> 00:31:00.434
He's got a hammy, he's out.

00:31:00.434 --> 00:31:03.292
Two of their best players are out.

00:31:03.292 --> 00:31:07.410
Russell's top target's out, Best player's out.

00:31:07.410 --> 00:31:12.452
Well, actually Lamar is bad against Steelers.

00:31:12.452 --> 00:31:13.935
I'm not going to lie.

00:31:13.955 --> 00:31:14.798
Yes, he is, he is.

00:31:17.671 --> 00:31:21.094
But they need this and they just need it in their home.

00:31:21.094 --> 00:31:23.952
I just think that he's got to win it.

00:31:24.967 --> 00:31:42.412
I feel like for this game, just for Lamar's whole narratives for this year, he's got to win at least one of these big games because, again, how they played against the Steelers previously was already very alarming because they were like high-flying offense, you know lamar's back, mbp lamar, and then we get to the sealers game.

00:31:42.412 --> 00:31:44.644
They completely forget how to play football for the first three quarters.

00:31:44.644 --> 00:31:53.551
So somehow, some way I feel like this might be a turn of fortunes for them and they lock in and be the super bowl contending team that we've seen.

00:31:53.551 --> 00:32:00.234
And because I'm only picking the Ravens, because I was very concerned on how that Steelers offense looked without George Pickens last week.

00:32:00.234 --> 00:32:04.873
So that's my only caveat, and you know I could be wrong.

00:32:05.184 --> 00:32:14.049
And yet again the Ravens can completely forget how to play football versus the Steelers and they somehow lose by a game-winning field goal, which I wouldn't be surprised by.

00:32:14.049 --> 00:32:15.374
But that's the thing.

00:32:15.374 --> 00:32:20.169
I'm trepidatiously picking the Ravens.

00:32:20.169 --> 00:32:21.309
That's my real take.

00:32:21.309 --> 00:32:28.439
I'm not as bad as what your next take is going to be, but this one right here I'm kind of like yeah, we go see.

00:32:28.798 --> 00:32:30.421
Oh, yes, yes, okay, all right.

00:32:30.421 --> 00:32:37.009
Well, let's move on to the next Island game.

00:32:37.009 --> 00:32:37.775
I'm on the island for one more here.

00:32:37.775 --> 00:32:39.545
Okay, this one is the Arizona Cardinals are traveling.

00:32:39.545 --> 00:32:40.871
They're coming here to Carolina.

00:32:40.871 --> 00:32:43.944
Man, I bet they got some really good price tickets for this game.

00:32:44.507 --> 00:32:46.294
In Charlotte we play the Panthers.

00:32:46.294 --> 00:33:03.951
The Cardinals are only a four-point favorite and this again is a total setup game, just like that Panthers-Cowboy game was a setup game because everyone was high on the Panthers because they had those close losses and they were coming home and the Cowboys weren't looking good.

00:33:03.951 --> 00:33:12.096
They're having an offseason, so everybody was on the Panther bandwagon all of a sudden, although they were trashing them earlier in the season.

00:33:12.096 --> 00:33:13.419
Now it's the opposite.

00:33:13.419 --> 00:33:16.691
Now, oh no, panthers are awful again.

00:33:16.691 --> 00:33:22.911
They're tanking, cardinals are still in it, and this is the perfect setup trap game.

00:33:22.911 --> 00:33:30.371
Bryce will look as good as he has ever looked in this game and the Panthers are going to get a victory.

00:33:30.371 --> 00:33:34.038
And you two guys, I am very disappointed in you two Up here.

00:33:34.038 --> 00:33:36.311
Panther, we got all this Panther paraphernalia here.

00:33:36.311 --> 00:33:42.045
You're wearing the Panther-themed hoodies and now ye of little faith what happened to you guys?

00:33:42.708 --> 00:33:43.571
You think you're Shakespeare.

00:33:47.067 --> 00:33:48.173
What happened to you guys?

00:33:48.173 --> 00:33:49.545
I am so disappointed.

00:33:50.326 --> 00:33:54.196
I believe in Bryce, but I don't know about the whole team.

00:33:54.196 --> 00:34:00.355
Xavier Leguette has made me lose a lot of hope in our offense.

00:34:00.355 --> 00:34:05.114
It's very sad, but yeah, I just can't.

00:34:05.114 --> 00:34:13.835
Also, part of me wants us to tank to get Travis Hunter, but yeah, I just can't pick this right now.

00:34:13.835 --> 00:34:16.835
The Cardinals are hungry and we have nothing to play for.

00:34:16.835 --> 00:34:19.474
Bryce has already put his good tape out, so he's good.

00:34:19.474 --> 00:34:21.670
It's just about everyone else.

00:34:23.829 --> 00:34:26.655
I mean, I just don't want us to lose competitively again.

00:34:26.655 --> 00:34:29.695
Plus, they are a team with playoff expectations.

00:34:29.695 --> 00:34:35.487
Listen, it's very bad for you to say, oh, you want your team to lose, so you can get the best player available.

00:34:35.487 --> 00:34:43.148
It's very bad for you to say, oh, you want your team to lose, so you can get the best player available however however, uh, I don't know if you've seen how travis hutter plays football like listen.

00:34:43.989 --> 00:34:50.969
We need a wide receiver and we need a defensive back so let's just uh, well, my god, if you're gonna tank, then tank.

00:34:50.969 --> 00:34:52.692
Go ahead and tank and get Shador.

00:34:52.692 --> 00:34:53.534
We already suck.

00:34:53.534 --> 00:34:55.056
Go all the way with it.

00:34:56.550 --> 00:34:57.425
Go all the way with it.

00:34:58.146 --> 00:34:58.969
Nobody wants Shador.

00:34:59.585 --> 00:34:59.907
We are good.

00:34:59.907 --> 00:35:05.635
I saw Bryce almost take down the Eagles with a 99.

00:35:05.635 --> 00:35:14.652
If Xavier Luget does have butter figures, Bryce Young has one of the greatest drives we've probably seen in a minute NFL history that I've ever seen in my life.

00:35:15.666 --> 00:35:17.137
I'm sorry.

00:35:17.157 --> 00:35:20.710
I'm sorry I saw that third quarter throw out the end zone.

00:35:20.710 --> 00:35:21.452
That gave me hope.

00:35:21.452 --> 00:35:23.376
That gave me faith.

00:35:23.376 --> 00:35:24.358
I'm cool.

00:35:24.358 --> 00:35:27.429
I'm good that bought him an extra year for me.

00:35:27.429 --> 00:35:28.534
He good, he good.

00:35:29.487 --> 00:35:40.509
Well, we are going to bring in Brianna from Arizona to come in and shed some light on this game and then we'll go to her island game.

00:35:40.509 --> 00:35:46.188
So let's go ahead, put your hands together and let's bring in miss brianna.

00:35:46.188 --> 00:35:47.210
What's going on?

00:35:47.210 --> 00:35:50.777
All right, all right.

00:35:50.777 --> 00:36:01.291
So you, you know, represent although you represent a couple of teams here, but you, but definitely one that you rep they're playing the big bad Carolina Panthers.

00:36:01.291 --> 00:36:02.315
We're in Carolina.

00:36:02.315 --> 00:36:06.655
I'm feeling all the energy from this game.

00:36:06.655 --> 00:36:07.697
I am on the island.

00:36:07.697 --> 00:36:08.990
I've got to get back in it.

00:36:08.990 --> 00:36:14.056
Do you disagree with me or do you agree with me?

00:36:15.965 --> 00:36:18.512
I have the Cardinals winning, so I definitely disagree.

00:36:19.193 --> 00:36:20.195
Okay, okay.

00:36:20.195 --> 00:36:23.070
Well, why do you have the Cardinals winning?

00:36:24.646 --> 00:36:26.036
Well, what Chris said?

00:36:26.036 --> 00:36:27.244
It's not a competitive game.

00:36:27.244 --> 00:36:29.693
The Cardinals are way better than the Panthers.

00:36:31.585 --> 00:36:33.351
You're going to say it like that, but God no.

00:36:35.686 --> 00:36:48.143
Shots fired yeah um, but lately the offense with kyler murray he's been doing really well, which is kind of surprising because he's not the best um and the panthers they struggle in their offense.

00:36:48.143 --> 00:36:50.934
They're not very consistent with it, as the chronos have been lately.

00:36:50.934 --> 00:36:57.088
Um, and I think the I think that kyler is going to go off with Marvin Harrison Jr and they're going to play really well.

00:36:58.050 --> 00:37:00.175
Okay, all right, all right.

00:37:00.215 --> 00:37:00.818
And the Panthers.

00:37:02.190 --> 00:37:02.945
And all the Panthers.

00:37:02.945 --> 00:37:07.114
Oh, man, and you know, see, that's the national narrative, but you know what.

00:37:07.114 --> 00:37:10.454
That's okay, because, bree, this is a perfect segue to you.

00:37:10.454 --> 00:37:19.867
It's just that you're not as familiar with Carolina, so we've got to get you out here, okay.

00:37:19.867 --> 00:37:22.376
And I think your feelings might change a little bit, because nationally, people are down on the Carolina Panthers, so we're going to know yet.

00:37:22.376 --> 00:37:25.313
So we're going to get you down here for our show at Kings.

00:37:25.313 --> 00:37:30.208
All right, our Superbowl show the night before Saturday at Kings, february 8th.

00:37:30.208 --> 00:37:32.311
So we can't wait to have you here for that.

00:37:32.893 --> 00:37:43.898
And you know we can't wait to have you here for that, and you know, yeah, yeah so once you get here, you know you may, uh, may, it may start to change a little bit, but and we'll see.

00:37:43.918 --> 00:37:45.822
All right, cool, all right.

00:37:45.822 --> 00:37:49.231
Well, brie, you are on the island for a game.

00:37:49.231 --> 00:37:51.556
Uh, let's go ahead and go to that one.

00:37:51.556 --> 00:37:54.230
You know you and I are tied, so we got to chase these guys down.

00:37:54.230 --> 00:37:59.231
We we're three games back, but we still have time the rest of this week and next week to chase them down.

00:37:59.231 --> 00:38:03.211
So we've got the Tampa Bay Bucks traveling to Dallas.

00:38:03.211 --> 00:38:12.208
Tampa is a four-point favorite and we all have Tampa, but you're on an island on this one with the Dallas Cowboys.

00:38:12.208 --> 00:38:13.190
Why do you have the Cowboys?

00:38:13.190 --> 00:38:13.911
Well, with the Dallas Cowboys.

00:38:13.931 --> 00:38:14.472
Why do you have the Cowboys?

00:38:14.472 --> 00:38:16.217
Well, they're pretty similar teams.

00:38:16.217 --> 00:38:21.568
When they play, they definitely both struggle with their rushing.

00:38:21.568 --> 00:38:23.596
They're not very consistent with rushing both of them.

00:38:23.596 --> 00:38:38.052
So I think it will be a challenging game and they both rely on their offensive, like people that are really good, like CD Lamb, dak Prescott and the Bucs definitely rely on Mike Evans and Chris Good goodwin.

00:38:38.052 --> 00:38:41.005
So I think with that like they're, it's gonna be a good game and they're really similar.

00:38:41.005 --> 00:38:49.713
So I think, with those aspects, I think the cowboys will come out and do really well, like they should be okay, all right and hey.

00:38:50.074 --> 00:38:54.650
now nobody picked or very few people, I should say picked the cowboys last week, they won that game.

00:38:54.650 --> 00:38:55.032
Very few parsons.

00:38:55.032 --> 00:38:56.505
Pars should say picked the Cowboys last week, they won that game Very few.

00:38:56.505 --> 00:38:58.311
Parsons is back.

00:38:58.311 --> 00:39:02.634
The defense is playing better, they're getting some people back and they are at home.

00:39:02.634 --> 00:39:05.793
This is what the Sunday night game, I believe.

00:39:05.793 --> 00:39:09.114
So it's another Jerry Jones special primetime game.

00:39:12.856 --> 00:39:13.139
Real quick.

00:39:13.139 --> 00:39:18.034
What's the Cowboys' home record and have we seen how they played at home versus very good teams?

00:39:18.034 --> 00:39:29.775
Let's see Blown out by the Texans, blown out by the Ravens, blown out by the Packers last year in the playoff, blown out by good choking teams in this injury world this year.

00:39:29.775 --> 00:39:30.998
The Bengals game was close.

00:39:31.646 --> 00:39:33.338
Oh it was close, okay, okay.

00:39:33.338 --> 00:39:34.726
Versus the Bengals Okay close.

00:39:34.726 --> 00:39:36.518
Oh, it was close, okay, okay versus the bagels.

00:39:36.538 --> 00:39:36.920
Okay, it was close.

00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.148
Every other game, though it's not big, it's not been great for them.

00:39:39.148 --> 00:39:40.150
I am so sorry.

00:39:40.150 --> 00:39:46.106
I listen they're, they're at home, I'm not I don't know.

00:39:46.106 --> 00:39:49.996
It's a weird year for them at home, like last year it was like oh, they're world beaters at home.

00:39:49.996 --> 00:39:50.666
Right now it's.

00:39:50.666 --> 00:39:52.769
It's looking a little.

00:39:52.769 --> 00:39:53.492
It's a little.

00:39:53.492 --> 00:39:56.518
Look, it's looking a little dark for a place that has very blinding lights.

00:39:56.518 --> 00:39:58.753
Weirdly enough, it's kind of annoying.

00:40:00.284 --> 00:40:01.108
What are you thinking?

00:40:01.128 --> 00:40:01.510
Diego.

00:40:03.809 --> 00:40:09.291
Yeah, you know the Bucs running game is a little more reliable than Dallas's because they got Bucky Irving.

00:40:09.291 --> 00:40:13.856
He's had some good games and they still got the other running back.

00:40:13.856 --> 00:40:16.172
I forgot his name, but at least they got Bucky Irwin.

00:40:16.172 --> 00:40:17.567
Yeah, I got.

00:40:17.567 --> 00:40:20.873
I believe their running game and their passing game is a little more reliable.

00:40:21.034 --> 00:40:22.438
Believe in them, ok, all right.

00:40:22.438 --> 00:40:25.876
Well, hey, this is, this is where we separate ourselves, bree.

00:40:25.876 --> 00:40:31.914
So you're on the island for that one, I'm on the island with the Steelers and we're going to see where this shakes out.

00:40:31.914 --> 00:40:39.532
We'll be back next week, uh, for the the finale of the regular season as far as uh picking and we'll.

00:40:39.532 --> 00:40:47.255
We'll see where things shake out and see, uh, who's gonna uh whose cause will benefit from this uh showdown that we've got here, all right?

00:40:47.255 --> 00:40:49.186
Well, let's move on to our next topic.

00:40:49.186 --> 00:40:54.793
We are going to talk about the top team in the nfc.

00:40:54.793 --> 00:40:58.659
So we've got a number number of teams here.

00:40:58.659 --> 00:41:00.487
Um, chris, you're looking perplexed.

00:41:00.567 --> 00:41:05.789
There's something, there's something odd on the screen you know there's a big old polar bear in texas.

00:41:05.789 --> 00:41:15.494
I'm just saying what is going on with uh, not with the rams, okay, packers, fine you know, but, what about Darnold?

00:41:15.494 --> 00:41:20.112
And the Vikings, we're missing a couple people.

00:41:20.172 --> 00:41:21.809
You want us to put the whole NFC on screen.

00:41:22.306 --> 00:41:25.355
I'm not saying put the whole NFC, I'm just saying we could have put one team over.

00:41:25.375 --> 00:41:30.614
Put the teams that are actually in the playoff picture on there, the Rams aren't even in the playoff picture?

00:41:31.106 --> 00:41:34.351
Yeah, but everybody knows how dangerous the Rams are.

00:41:34.351 --> 00:41:35.815
Do you want to face the Rams?

00:41:35.815 --> 00:41:42.652
I don't want to face the Rams, but at least put someone in the playoff, the Rams just beat the Buffalo Bills.

00:41:43.367 --> 00:41:47.969
All right, let's remember that they let Jay and Daniels get in the playoff.

00:41:48.030 --> 00:41:52.934
Oh no, oh no, no, no, mr Lucky Hail, mary, no way, all right.

00:41:52.934 --> 00:41:55.954
So, bree, give us your take.

00:41:55.954 --> 00:41:58.492
You see we're clearly in rare form today.

00:41:58.492 --> 00:42:01.313
So the NFC there's a lot of teams.

00:42:01.313 --> 00:42:03.313
Again, detroit's been running away with it.

00:42:03.313 --> 00:42:08.172
They, you know, had one loss for a while now, just took another L.

00:42:08.172 --> 00:42:09.911
The injuries are piling up.

00:42:09.911 --> 00:42:14.449
We weren't concerned at first, but now I think the concern is starting to rise.

00:42:14.449 --> 00:42:18.719
Who would you say right now is the top team in the NFC?

00:42:19.744 --> 00:42:21.311
Yeah, so I always love my Lions.

00:42:21.311 --> 00:42:38.259
They're in my heart always, so I think they're definitely second right now just because of all the injuries they have and losing the Bills and an onside kick also by Dan Campbell not a good idea or plan by him kind of mad at him.

00:42:38.259 --> 00:42:43.097
But so I think I would have to say the Eagles are the best right now.

00:42:43.097 --> 00:42:45.411
I feel like they have the best stats right now.

00:42:45.411 --> 00:42:47.032
Jalen Hurts is amazing.

00:42:47.032 --> 00:42:50.331
He has over 2000 passing yards right now.

00:42:50.331 --> 00:42:55.851
Yeah, barkley, I mean, he has over a,000 yards also.

00:42:55.851 --> 00:43:02.594
So I feel like their whole team combined just makes it really well for them to perform and go out there and win every time.

00:43:02.594 --> 00:43:04.835
It's the times that they want.

00:43:06.028 --> 00:43:14.855
A lot of people are saying the Eagles are very balanced, so you can make a strong case that they're the most balanced team, so definitely not mad at that.

00:43:14.855 --> 00:43:15.938
That selection there.

00:43:15.938 --> 00:43:18.226
Um, where where would you have?

00:43:18.226 --> 00:43:21.775
Did you say you'd have the lion second, second right now, and then the eagles first?

00:43:21.775 --> 00:43:22.567
Okay, all right.

00:43:22.567 --> 00:43:27.179
Okay, um, diego, who's who's top team in the nfc right now?

00:43:27.641 --> 00:43:29.105
I still believe in detroit.

00:43:29.105 --> 00:43:32.789
After all the injuries, uh, still I still believe in them.

00:43:32.789 --> 00:43:34.692
I just believe they got the juice.

00:43:34.692 --> 00:43:38.235
You know they're, they're just locked in right, they had that loss.

00:43:38.235 --> 00:43:46.012
You know teams that are 15 and 1, 6, 16, 1, 9, 17 games, teams are 16 and 1 scare me a little bit because of the panthers.

00:43:46.012 --> 00:43:46.994
How they lost.

00:43:47.416 --> 00:43:55.407
I don't like, I don't like that number, I've got at least two losses at least two or three losses, so that makes me more comfortable with them.

00:43:55.467 --> 00:43:58.909
So, uh, yeah, I I do not that actually makes me more confident.

00:43:58.909 --> 00:44:00.333
I do not believe that at all.

00:44:00.393 --> 00:44:16.032
You are just trying to kiss up to the family in detroit I'm giving them hope it is giving them hope because every team I picked when the sewer bowl wins it like I've, I'm undefeated in that category so like I'm just, I'm just trying to help the family out, but it's been three.

00:44:17.005 --> 00:44:18.873
Okay, so it's not like you've picked 40.

00:44:19.748 --> 00:44:20.873
How many have you picked?

00:44:20.873 --> 00:44:22.251
You got one right.

00:44:22.945 --> 00:44:26.110
Yeah, over the course of my life I've gotten more right than you.

00:44:26.110 --> 00:44:28.873
Over the course of Pick'em Pros, that doesn't matter.

00:44:28.873 --> 00:44:30.833
That's not what we're talking about right now.

00:44:30.833 --> 00:44:32.130
See, you're changing the narrative.

00:44:32.130 --> 00:44:33.112
You now, See, you're changing the narrative.

00:44:33.112 --> 00:44:34.755
You're moving the goalposts, Moving the goalposts.

00:44:34.755 --> 00:44:37.097
So no, but it's Christmas time.

00:44:37.097 --> 00:44:40.592
I think you're trying to kiss up, make sure you get some Christmas presents.

00:44:40.592 --> 00:44:42.885
So I don't know if you really believe that.

00:44:42.885 --> 00:44:44.452
All right, Chris.

00:44:44.452 --> 00:44:46.331
Who's number one?

00:44:46.905 --> 00:44:47.389
Number one.

00:44:47.389 --> 00:44:54.375
I have the Philadelphia Eagles mostly because they're peaking at the right time and I don't like all the whole locker room controversy.

00:44:54.375 --> 00:44:57.748
Oh, aj Brown doesn't mess with Jalen Hurts, he's not getting the ball.

00:44:57.748 --> 00:44:59.192
I completely get that.

00:44:59.192 --> 00:45:07.789
However, we just saw last week they at least for the first time in forever, they won a game throwing the ball, with Saquon not necessarily playing at his absolute best.

00:45:07.789 --> 00:45:09.635
So that's the thing that they had to show me.

00:45:09.635 --> 00:45:11.869
Can you win a different way versus a very good team?

00:45:11.869 --> 00:45:15.978
Because again, this has been a Saquon and our defense showing up at Jalen Hurts.

00:45:15.978 --> 00:45:21.813
You know, touch push here, big third down conversion there, but it hasn't been Jalen Hurts really dominating the whole game.

00:45:21.813 --> 00:45:24.653
So actually actively seeing that gives me more hope in them.

00:45:25.050 --> 00:45:30.976
Because, I'm not going to lie, detroit's defense looks like food, regardless of how good that offense has been.

00:45:30.976 --> 00:45:38.737
The fact that it's been like they got 34 put up, 31 put up on them by the Packers and then 48 by the Bills.

00:45:38.737 --> 00:45:40.440
I'm very concerned about their defense.

00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:47.164
And then I would say a tie, for second would be the Vikings and the Lions, because the Vikings' defense has played very well.

00:45:47.164 --> 00:46:03.871
Now, again, minnesota sports curse aside, that's the only thing that I feel like could stop the Vikings from all their potential because, again, sam Darnold is having an all-time great Cinderella story, justin Jefferson and Jordan Edison are playing at their best and that defense shows up to play every single time.

00:46:03.871 --> 00:46:21.233
I think that if Detroit doesn't get a favorable path, they have to play either the Vikings or the Packers in the round, because if they get the one seed it's going to get a little rough because of the familiarity and how close those games have already been between those two teams.

00:46:21.353 --> 00:46:30.054
Okay, Okay, good, take, good, take, diego, you have something else you were going to add yeah, no, the Vikings are not in the same categories of lines.

00:46:30.815 --> 00:46:32.670
Okay, they really have the same record.

00:46:32.670 --> 00:46:33.373
What do you mean?

00:46:33.373 --> 00:46:34.275
They they really have the same record.

00:46:34.275 --> 00:46:34.777
What do you mean?

00:46:34.777 --> 00:46:35.400
They do have the same record.

00:46:35.882 --> 00:46:39.143
They do have the same record and believe you said they face off week 18.

00:46:39.264 --> 00:46:42.936
Week 18 for the division is most likely going to happen, so we're going to see.

00:46:43.284 --> 00:46:44.490
We will definitely see.

00:46:44.490 --> 00:46:50.351
Oh, I've got to give mine, so none of you guys have said this.

00:46:50.351 --> 00:46:53.998
But again, as usual, I see beyond.

00:46:53.998 --> 00:46:56.393
Just like I told y'all about the Bills.

00:46:56.393 --> 00:46:57.869
I saw it weeks in advance.

00:46:57.869 --> 00:47:01.614
Let me tell you guys, you guys can get on board this train later.

00:47:01.614 --> 00:47:05.858
It's the Green Bay Packers, and I don't know how y'all don't see.

00:47:05.858 --> 00:47:07.972
It's just clear.

00:47:07.972 --> 00:47:09.175
They're balanced.

00:47:09.175 --> 00:47:10.931
Jordan Love is balling out.

00:47:10.931 --> 00:47:14.311
My goodness, they're like a 14-point favorite this week.

00:47:14.331 --> 00:47:16.096
They lost to both the Eagles and the Lions.

00:47:16.096 --> 00:47:20.612
That was earlier in the season.

00:47:21.065 --> 00:47:23.454
They have gotten better and the Lions have gotten worse.

00:47:23.454 --> 00:47:25.588
You'll see.

00:47:25.588 --> 00:47:26.414
Check with me.

00:47:27.306 --> 00:47:28.289
Check with me in a couple weeks.

00:47:28.771 --> 00:47:29.956
Check with me in a couple weeks, yeah.

00:47:32.969 --> 00:47:33.612
I'm leaving you alone.

00:47:33.612 --> 00:47:37.380
That's Mr Interception waiting to happen.

00:47:37.380 --> 00:47:37.945
I'm sorry.

00:47:37.945 --> 00:47:39.650
I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop with him.

00:47:40.092 --> 00:47:45.130
And then Now I will say Detroit.

00:47:45.130 --> 00:47:47.195
If Detroit can get healthy, they can overtake.

00:47:47.195 --> 00:47:49.389
So this is a snapshot, this is a moment in time.

00:47:49.791 --> 00:47:50.052
All right.

00:47:50.425 --> 00:47:53.710
So if they get a little healthier, detroit can come back and overtake.

00:47:53.710 --> 00:47:55.233
They can still win the Super Bowl.

00:47:55.233 --> 00:47:56.215
But this is right now.

00:47:56.215 --> 00:47:59.739
Green Bay Packers, green Bay Packers, all right, bree.

00:47:59.739 --> 00:48:02.873
Well, bree, we love having you on.

00:48:02.873 --> 00:48:07.036
We're so excited to have you here for the Super Bowl.

00:48:07.036 --> 00:48:08.130
So that's going to be fun.

00:48:08.130 --> 00:48:15.173
I know we're going to have you at King, so we'll be in front of a live audience and then we'll also do a little something here in the studio.

00:48:15.173 --> 00:48:22.047
So can't wait to see you then and show you some Southern hospitality here in Carolina, show you how we do it.

00:48:22.829 --> 00:48:23.791
Perfect, I can't wait.

00:48:23.791 --> 00:48:24.673
Thank you so much.

00:48:25.215 --> 00:48:26.987
All right, okay, we'll see you next week.

00:48:27.809 --> 00:48:28.030
Yep.

00:48:28.692 --> 00:48:32.271
Okay, all right, that is Brianna.

00:48:32.271 --> 00:48:38.331
So, man, you guys ready to talk about a little bit of NBA here?

00:48:38.331 --> 00:48:40.704
Okay, let's get into some NBA.

00:48:40.704 --> 00:48:45.452
And then we've got Brandon joining us at the end to school us on the college football playoffs.

00:48:45.452 --> 00:48:52.525
So when we first put our agenda out there, brandon got it straight and said oh man, you're not going to talk about the college football playoffs.

00:48:52.525 --> 00:48:59.572
I said, oh yeah, we definitely need to talk about that and he's very efficient in that, so we'll have him come on and school us on that a little bit.

00:48:59.572 --> 00:49:05.637
But, man, it's our weekly Laker Chris check-in time.

00:49:05.637 --> 00:49:11.771
Man, lebron and the Lakers and Bronny and Bronny, yes.

00:49:11.985 --> 00:49:13.108
He's in the G League.

00:49:13.108 --> 00:49:14.152
Yo, what are we doing?

00:49:15.724 --> 00:49:16.980
I think they just moved him back up, yeah that's probably.

00:49:16.980 --> 00:49:17.364
He scored 30.

00:49:17.364 --> 00:49:18.730
Yes, he scored 30.

00:49:18.730 --> 00:49:19.873
He scored 30.

00:49:19.873 --> 00:49:20.927
That's probably part of.

00:49:20.927 --> 00:49:22.813
The problem is that they don't have Bronny.

00:49:22.813 --> 00:49:24.070
They started off hot.

00:49:24.070 --> 00:49:29.748
We look at it they started off very hot, sent him down to the G League and they have not been the same ever since.

00:49:29.889 --> 00:49:31.010
So what a fact.

00:49:31.010 --> 00:49:32.793
What are we doing?

00:49:32.793 --> 00:49:34.416
It's like, hey, we need a morale boost.

00:49:34.436 --> 00:49:41.293
No, listen, okay, I'm just being completely real about this team.

00:49:41.293 --> 00:49:44.681
We it's.

00:49:44.681 --> 00:49:50.567
Either we look like world beaters and we look like we're the best team in the west, or we look completely inept and we don't know how to play basketball.

00:49:50.567 --> 00:49:52.740
Plus lebron taking his time away.

00:49:52.740 --> 00:49:56.190
I and everybody was kind of in a panic about that, like is he okay?

00:49:56.190 --> 00:49:57.052
What's going on with him?

00:49:57.052 --> 00:50:02.090
I'm like like I feel like you know, the wheels are starting to come off like let's.

00:50:02.090 --> 00:50:07.688
Uh, I'm not saying the retirement tour is starting, but I will say next year it definitely looks like this is gonna be over.

00:50:07.688 --> 00:50:16.452
So the one thing that it sucks to be in the nba and I've said this before in our season preview the worst thing to be in the nba is the in the middle.

00:50:16.634 --> 00:50:25.123
You either need to be contending or you need to be tanking so you can get good players, and we are perpet have been perpetually in the middle since the 2020 championship.

00:50:25.123 --> 00:50:30.472
So my I mean, my best guess is we're gonna make it.

00:50:30.472 --> 00:50:42.385
We're probably gonna be a playing team, win the playing game, probably get dusted by either the one team one really good young team or buy the nuggets if we ever play them again, because you know we can definitely never be the nuggets.

00:50:42.405 --> 00:50:44.333
They got something real nice waiting for you.

00:50:44.393 --> 00:50:51.764
Yeah, every time oh no, I've never respected a player more than nicola yokich, because I used to be like, how is he this good?

00:50:51.764 --> 00:50:52.666
And I saw him play the lakers.

00:50:52.666 --> 00:51:00.036
I was like you know what you got it, bro, like it's, yeah, yokich is different, so I think that it's it's.

00:51:00.036 --> 00:51:01.842
It's about quitting time with this team.

00:51:01.842 --> 00:51:03.485
You know, jj is still gonna have his job.

00:51:03.485 --> 00:51:04.369
He's been a great coach.

00:51:04.369 --> 00:51:07.565
But we kind of gotta, I'm gonna say, start the retirement tour.

00:51:07.565 --> 00:51:15.246
But but let's have the fond memories, have the LeBron lob next year, start the retirement tour, so we can take everybody out to pasture and we can just start rebuilding.

00:51:15.246 --> 00:51:17.206
Because I can't watch this team sometimes.

00:51:17.206 --> 00:51:18.708
It's frustrating.

00:51:19.501 --> 00:51:20.987
It's been a little frustrating.

00:51:20.987 --> 00:51:23.427
Anything to add, Diego, we're going to leave it there.

00:51:23.659 --> 00:51:29.291
Yeah, I mean they actually have had two back-to-back wins against the Kings and the Grizzlies.

00:51:29.291 --> 00:51:30.753
Ooh, okay, so that was good.

00:51:30.753 --> 00:51:35.528
Grizzlies are up there, one of the best teams, so, yeah, you don't write them off just yet.

00:51:35.528 --> 00:51:36.724
They're on a little hot streak.

00:51:37.141 --> 00:51:39.929
Is LeBron looking better since coming back from the break?

00:51:39.929 --> 00:51:40.760
I?

00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:48.411
believe so, but I'm getting more concerned because that 10-point game scared me.

00:51:48.411 --> 00:51:58.344
I was like, okay, yeah, this is not looking great and hopefully whatever he needed to do or get fixed, he sorted that away.

00:51:58.344 --> 00:52:01.311
So we could I don't know, I don't know.

00:52:01.311 --> 00:52:07.646
I feel like we're going to be another middle pack of the team in the West and we're going to lose to a really good young team in the playoffs.

00:52:07.646 --> 00:52:08.610
We'll see.

00:52:10.643 --> 00:52:11.291
We'll leave it there.

00:52:11.291 --> 00:52:13.766
I'm sure we'll come back and touch on them pretty soon.

00:52:13.766 --> 00:52:15.451
Are they playing Christmas?

00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:17.505
Yes, we play the Warriors on Christmas.

00:52:17.505 --> 00:52:17.704
It's the.

00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:20.826
Broncos on Christmas.

00:52:21.460 --> 00:52:22.425
Olympic showdown.

00:52:22.425 --> 00:52:26.028
Yes, the old man bowl with that one.

00:52:26.028 --> 00:52:32.244
Okay, is Steph Curry or Draymond going to score in that game Because they didn't get a field goal in the last game?

00:52:32.244 --> 00:52:33.108
We'll see.

00:52:33.108 --> 00:52:36.367
Okay, all right, we'll see if somebody can score in that game, all right.

00:52:36.367 --> 00:52:40.851
Well, let's move on to our last NBA topic here.

00:52:40.851 --> 00:52:42.686
Jimmy Butler, hit me.

00:52:42.686 --> 00:52:45.920
Jimmy, jimmy Buckets, is it time to move on?

00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:46.963
It's time to move on.

00:52:46.963 --> 00:52:55.094
So he's been coasting through the regular season for several years now and Pat Riley and the Heat did not re-sign him.

00:52:55.094 --> 00:53:09.989
Now it's controversy on if he did or did not put a list of teams out there that he'd like to play for, and I think some of those teams are with the Spurs, the Rockets, mavs, suns, golden State.

00:53:09.989 --> 00:53:13.025
So do you think he's going to leave?

00:53:13.601 --> 00:53:14.364
Do you think he'll?

00:53:14.384 --> 00:53:15.025
be traded.

00:53:15.025 --> 00:53:15.969
Where do you think he'll end up?

00:53:16.340 --> 00:53:17.887
It sounds like he wants to go to the West.

00:53:17.887 --> 00:53:23.246
Yeah, all those teams in the West, but yeah, I think he should go to the Warriors.

00:53:23.246 --> 00:53:27.708
I just think he'd be a good fit and fit with everyone.

00:53:27.708 --> 00:53:31.949
Just give us some star power to like.

00:53:31.949 --> 00:53:37.952
Give us one Someone else I can help stuff, at least towards playoff or in the season time.

00:53:37.952 --> 00:53:41.724
Yeah, that's really all I got to say on him.

00:53:41.784 --> 00:53:47.449
All right, all right, I'm not going to get on a cell box or diatribe.

00:53:47.449 --> 00:53:58.168
Just understand that Jimmy Butler takes me off because how are you an eighth seed in the West, not in the West in the East repeatedly right, repeatedly in the play-in and all of a sudden you turn into Superman in the playoffs.

00:53:58.168 --> 00:53:59.384
It is very frustrating.

00:53:59.384 --> 00:54:00.648
And now him wanting out.

00:54:00.648 --> 00:54:11.257
Okay, let's hope you go to a good team and I hope that you could turn on the jimmy butler playoff superpowers when you get to that team I hope he goes to golden state just because I want to see staff.

00:54:11.277 --> 00:54:21.768
You know, have another good co-star, but it's he frustrates me every single time because like seeing him play up to his potential and he looked like a top 10 player.

00:54:21.849 --> 00:54:28.409
He's amazing in the playoffs but then during the regular season you barely, you hardly hear him make any noise and they're always scrapping and fighting.

00:54:28.409 --> 00:54:28.610
It's.

00:54:28.610 --> 00:54:35.126
I feel bad for miami because it's like dude, if you just play up to your potential in the east we could at least be a top five, top four seed.

00:54:35.126 --> 00:54:42.740
But you know that's the one crux and caveat I have with him and he can't do that in the west because you have a couple bad games.

00:54:42.740 --> 00:54:44.284
Then all of a sudden you in the 10th seed.

00:54:44.284 --> 00:54:48.391
So hopefully you know he gets a new change of scenery.

00:54:48.391 --> 00:55:01.650
You know he gets with a team that, like, has the competitive fire that he has, because I I do respect how competitive he is, how hard he works, but I don't like how it seems like he close in the regular season.

00:55:01.690 --> 00:55:08.847
So we'll see how it goes absolutely, yeah, definitely, coast, um, yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing him on any of these teams.

00:55:08.847 --> 00:55:17.536
If I had to pick, I'd say Phoenix, just because that would be the most interesting sideshow of KD and all that.

00:55:17.596 --> 00:55:22.126
Another super team man, I would just like to see that.

00:55:22.166 --> 00:55:24.753
for the entertainment standpoint that would be interesting.

00:55:24.753 --> 00:55:26.525
So hey, maybe we can.

00:55:26.525 --> 00:55:27.844
Another mid-range guy.

00:55:27.885 --> 00:55:28.407
Yeah, yeah.

00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:28.867
Another mid-range guy.

00:55:28.867 --> 00:55:29.659
We yeah, Another mid-range guy.

00:55:29.659 --> 00:55:31.626
We can recreate the Brooklyn Nets.

00:55:32.963 --> 00:55:34.789
I remember what happened with that Brooklyn Nets team.

00:55:34.789 --> 00:55:37.025
That was not great.

00:55:37.065 --> 00:55:39.431
Not great at all, not at all, not at all.

00:55:39.431 --> 00:55:40.313
All right.

00:55:40.313 --> 00:55:42.726
Well, let's move on to our last topic.

00:55:42.726 --> 00:55:45.844
We are going to talk about the college football playoffs here in a minute.

00:55:45.844 --> 00:55:55.248
We're almost at time, so we just have about two, three minutes left, but we've got to bring on our man, main man, brandon Bean, who's been commenting throughout the show.

00:55:55.248 --> 00:56:00.559
We've got to talk about the college playoffs, so let's bring in our guy from Texas.

00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:01.422
What's going on?

00:56:01.422 --> 00:56:02.003
Big dog?

00:56:02.003 --> 00:56:12.601
Hold on, brandon, I think you're on mute, my man, there we go, okay, go, is that better?

00:56:12.601 --> 00:56:13.764
Hey, oh, yeah, yes, we can hear you.

00:56:13.764 --> 00:56:14.144
How you doing?

00:56:14.144 --> 00:56:30.402
Man, I'm good, good, good, yes, so, uh, brandon man, uh, we were into the college football playoffs, got two main questions for you and then we're going to go around the room here, but two main questions are one is 12 teams too many?

00:56:30.402 --> 00:56:33.809
And number two who's going to win the championship?

00:56:33.809 --> 00:56:36.561
So those are our two main questions going around.

00:56:36.581 --> 00:56:48.510
So we'll start with you, my man, I have oregon winning the national championship championship and 12 I think 12 is good enough.

00:56:48.510 --> 00:56:56.762
It kind of like I mean, it was like it gives you balance.

00:56:56.762 --> 00:57:07.126
I think it balances out, spreads out all the the contenders out to where like it makes it like harder for you know, it makes it fair.

00:57:07.126 --> 00:57:14.871
It makes it harder for the actual contender teams to actually like to win more than just one game.

00:57:14.871 --> 00:57:17.920
And oh, you're in the national championship game.

00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:27.083
Now it's like, okay, you have to win at least two games, maybe three, depending on what seed you're in to get to the national championship.

00:57:27.083 --> 00:57:39.230
So it it's like now, like you know, it kind of mirrors the NFL playoffs a little bit, where it's like you win one game and you're out.

00:57:39.230 --> 00:57:48.079
So like the first round is, I think, on campus, and then after that it's just neutral site.

00:57:48.079 --> 00:58:03.688
So it's a unique uh format this year and I this is the first time that you know it's not no, like a no brainer, it's like it's a pick them.

00:58:03.708 --> 00:58:05.981
That's true, it is definitely so.

00:58:06.103 --> 00:58:07.266
That's the good thing about it.

00:58:07.266 --> 00:58:09.889
That is no like foregone conclusion.

00:58:09.889 --> 00:58:17.268
Now we can just go out there and see who the best team is and like enjoy this ride For years to come.

00:58:17.268 --> 00:58:18.440
It's like this is probably going to be.

00:58:18.440 --> 00:58:26.384
It was the best way to do it since, like, this is the best version of parody in college football since like 06, 07.

00:58:26.384 --> 00:58:30.172
So I'm happy they do it.

00:58:30.172 --> 00:58:35.398
I'm hoping that it stays permanent and they don't add more teams.

00:58:36.139 --> 00:58:38.947
Yeah, I definitely hope they don't add more.

00:58:38.947 --> 00:58:40.572
All right, okay, thank you.

00:58:40.572 --> 00:58:44.646
So you like 12 teams, think it's perfect where it is and you have Oregon winning.

00:58:44.646 --> 00:58:48.969
So, diego, 12 teams, is it too many, and who do you have winning?

00:58:49.434 --> 00:58:50.762
I think 12 teams is good.

00:58:50.762 --> 00:58:58.521
Four teams is definitely too little, because you had some teams that win a conference championship and still not make it in.

00:58:58.521 --> 00:59:00.769
I think it was kind of weird.

00:59:00.769 --> 00:59:05.224
Then the contending teams only have to win one game and be in the conference championship.

00:59:05.224 --> 00:59:06.844
That whole format I think that was too little.

00:59:06.844 --> 00:59:08.090
I think 12 gives the harder teams a road and also not too championship.

00:59:08.090 --> 00:59:08.742
So right, that whole format, I think that was too little.

00:59:08.742 --> 00:59:13.469
But I think 12 it gives a harder teams a road and it's also not like too many as like an overload.

00:59:13.469 --> 00:59:16.943
Okay, and I got oregon winning oregon oregon, that's.

00:59:16.943 --> 00:59:19.349
That's my team, that's my college football team.

00:59:19.349 --> 00:59:21.583
It's been my team for a few years actually.

00:59:21.583 --> 00:59:25.260
So just because they're number one seed, you know, people don't think I'm a bandwagon.

00:59:25.260 --> 00:59:28.288
Real ones know that I'm a day one Oregon football fan.

00:59:28.288 --> 00:59:29.652
My friends know, everyone knows.

00:59:29.652 --> 00:59:33.030
So yeah, I'm going with Dylan Gabriel in Oregon, okay.

00:59:33.219 --> 00:59:34.523
He's keeping his seats from not winning.

00:59:34.523 --> 00:59:36.385
The Heisman also Should have went.

00:59:36.806 --> 00:59:42.246
Ooh, ooh Should have went Ooh, all right, all right, threw a lot in there, diego.

00:59:42.246 --> 00:59:43.521
Okay, all right.

00:59:43.521 --> 00:59:47.548
I believe you have a backup team too, because, in typical Diego style, you have a honorable mention.

00:59:47.568 --> 00:59:48.471
Smu is my backup team.

00:59:48.471 --> 00:59:49.914
I like SMU, of course.

00:59:49.914 --> 00:59:51.963
Yeah, ryan Wenten is my backup.

00:59:52.184 --> 00:59:53.969
Okay, all right.

00:59:53.969 --> 00:59:54.791
What about you, chris?

00:59:54.980 --> 00:59:57.300
Wait, did you seriously say that Dillard Gabriel should have won the high school?

00:59:57.681 --> 00:59:58.384
I was kind of trolled.

00:59:58.443 --> 01:00:09.414
You had to be Okay, cool, ashton Gentry should have won, and I'm not even going to argue with that, because I did want Jensey to win because he did have a great season, but shout out to Travis.

01:00:09.414 --> 01:00:12.630
Anyway, I think the 12 teams is perfect.

01:00:12.630 --> 01:00:17.911
As a fan of SEC teams, I've seen how much parity there was.

01:00:17.911 --> 01:00:29.851
I kind of see teams kind of cannibalize themselves towards the end of the season and there was so much debate about who's going in, who's going to do this, and it made every game more interesting, especially in the SEC realm.

01:00:29.851 --> 01:00:35.148
I'm not picking an SEC team to win it, though, because again, Georgia's without Carson Beck and I don't trust Texas.

01:00:35.148 --> 01:00:37.226
So I'm picking Oregon in this one.

01:00:37.226 --> 01:00:46.726
And it sucks because again, growing up in the South, going to high school and watching Georgia play, I've developed an SEC bias.

01:00:46.726 --> 01:00:51.592
So I definitely want a team from that conference to win, but I don't think it's our year this year because of the injury to Carson Beck.

01:00:51.592 --> 01:00:55.829
So I definitely have Oregon winning this Okay.

01:00:56.150 --> 01:00:56.490
All right.

01:00:56.490 --> 01:00:59.646
Yeah, I would say you know what?

01:00:59.646 --> 01:01:05.507
I thought it was too many at first, but you guys have convinced me, you guys have changed my mind.

01:01:05.507 --> 01:01:19.346
I was prepared to say it was too many and they need to be eight, but you know, I wasn't losing my mind over it and the fact that you know, you guys, it's christmas time and you guys seem to be so excited about it.

01:01:19.346 --> 01:01:20.809
So if you like it, I love it.

01:01:20.809 --> 01:01:22.512
So 12 teams, it is.

01:01:22.512 --> 01:01:23.141
That's good.

01:01:23.141 --> 01:01:23.902
I'm fine with it.

01:01:23.902 --> 01:01:28.333
As far as who's going to win the championship, this is again clear.

01:01:28.333 --> 01:01:30.800
I'm seeing the owl instincts.

01:01:30.800 --> 01:01:36.380
I'm seeing it way far out in advance Georgia, georgia's going to win the championship.

01:01:37.186 --> 01:01:38.557
I don't know why y'all looking for players.

01:01:38.557 --> 01:01:40.059
They don't have their starting quarterback.

01:01:40.059 --> 01:01:42.708
That was the only thing, that stopped me from picking.

01:01:42.708 --> 01:01:43.050
Georgia.

01:01:47.407 --> 01:01:51.134
I may or may not have known that, but it doesn't matter, I'm sticking with it.

01:01:51.134 --> 01:01:55.126
I'm sticking with Georgia.

01:01:55.126 --> 01:01:58.168
Matter of fact, I'm going to put maybe $5 on it.

01:01:58.961 --> 01:01:59.947
So I'm going to Georgia.

01:02:01.541 --> 01:02:03.088
And yeah, we got it we got it.

01:02:03.088 --> 01:02:05.811
So there we go.

01:02:05.891 --> 01:02:06.632
So let's go dogs.

01:02:06.632 --> 01:02:07.494
All right, here we go.

01:02:07.494 --> 01:02:08.034
That's all you got.

01:02:08.034 --> 01:02:09.355
It's ready after that.

01:02:09.815 --> 01:02:10.356
So let's go.

01:02:10.356 --> 01:02:11.762
Dawgs, all right, here we go.

01:02:11.762 --> 01:02:12.927
Cool.

01:02:12.927 --> 01:02:17.507
Well, brandon, my man, hold on, let me adjust the camera here.

01:02:17.507 --> 01:02:20.947
Brandon, merry Christmas to you, man.

01:02:20.947 --> 01:02:23.764
Love engaging with you, really appreciate it.

01:02:24.199 --> 01:02:27.340
We've got a little something coming your way, as we talked about before.

01:02:27.340 --> 01:02:28.101
So keep an eye out on the mail.

01:02:28.101 --> 01:02:29.195
A little something coming your way, as we talked about before.

01:02:29.195 --> 01:02:29.237
So keep an eye out on the mail.

01:02:29.237 --> 01:02:36.699
Got some gear coming your way, man, and we can't wait to talk to you as we continue to go through, uh, these seasons here in the playoffs.

01:02:36.699 --> 01:02:42.224
So we'll see if you write on Oregon, my man, all right, man, all right, all right.
