What happens when the weather throws a curveball and the NFL Wild Card games are on the horizon? Join us, the Pick'em Pros Father/Son duo Derrick and Diego Thompson, as we bring the action from our cozy home studio, featuring special appearances by Christopher & Bryanna. We're diving deep into electrifying matchups like the Steelers vs. Ravens, and spotlighting gridiron giants such as CJ Stroud. Christopher's anticipation for the Ravens' showdown adds an extra layer of excitement, sparking debates on whether Lamar Jackson has what it takes to clinch MVP status and if Derrick Henry can tip the scales in Baltimore's favor.

Expect more than just predictions; we're stirring up passionate discussions around key games and unexpected outcomes. Will the Chargers be surprised by the Texans, or can the Eagles fend off the Packers amidst injury woes for Jalen Hurts? As we dissect playoff dynamics, we also ponder whether Kansas City will benefit if both the Bills and Ravens stumble. Our banter is as crisp as the winter air, especially when it comes to those nerve-wracking predictions where referees' favoritism might just make all the difference.

As NFL fever spikes, we pivot to the college football championship between Ohio State and Notre Dame, with the NFL playoffs casting a long shadow over the collegiate stage. And let's not forget a bold Super Bowl forecast—could the Lions really roar their way to the title over the Bills? From unexpected upsets to Coach of the Year contenders, we deliver a thrilling narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat, hungry for the next play in this unpredictable football saga.

00:00:00.281 --> 00:00:01.084
That's crazy.

00:00:01.084 --> 00:00:07.767
I'm on the island man with the Green Bay Packers, so the Packers will go ahead.

00:00:08.422 --> 00:00:09.606
You haven't learned your lesson, man.

00:00:09.606 --> 00:00:12.148
You haven't learned how to make smart picks.

00:00:12.148 --> 00:00:20.446
This is what dug you into a hole in the regular season and why you lost by about 20 games, and you just haven't learned.

00:00:20.446 --> 00:00:21.187
You just haven't learned, man.

00:00:21.187 --> 00:00:21.288

All right, this is where I shot.

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:27.567
This is when it matters.

00:00:27.567 --> 00:00:29.920
I pick him like a pro global trial ball.

We're gonna up the score.

00:00:32.521 --> 00:00:33.122
Touchdown.

00:00:33.122 --> 00:00:35.029
This is not field goal.

00:00:35.088 --> 00:00:36.465
We, the winning team champions.

00:00:36.465 --> 00:00:41.125

Haven't been at the house in a while.

00:01:17.983 --> 00:01:32.105
We've been in the beautiful studio in Cary, north Carolina, that Joe runs for us, and then today we were supposed to be at King's, where you can bowl and dine and have a bunch of fun, but had some inclement weather here in the North Carolina area, so we're doing it at the house.

00:01:32.105 --> 00:01:40.591
But we've got our fire guests Christopher Davis, brianna joining us, so we're really excited about that, but we'll bring them on in a second.

Yeah, we got some good ones coming up.

00:01:57.072 --> 00:02:06.924
We got the hopefully the worst one out of the way, uh, so, uh, yeah, it looked like the chargers were going to run away with that, but now the texans are doing their thing.

00:02:06.924 --> 00:02:08.768

00:02:08.768 --> 00:02:10.251

Like all these number two draft picks are man so're just getting bailed out.

00:02:24.430 --> 00:02:26.372
What happened, that's all right.

00:02:26.372 --> 00:02:33.131
That's all right, though, because next year, bryce is going to show why he's the true best quarterback in that class.

00:02:33.491 --> 00:02:34.614
Okay that's what's going to happen.

00:02:34.614 --> 00:02:36.826

Some I can't even name yet, but we've got.

00:03:25.353 --> 00:03:31.932
I'll just say we've got verbal commitments from someone from our local news station that should be there.

00:03:31.932 --> 00:03:36.409
We've got Tyler Jones from NC State, who's currently a recruiter.

00:03:36.409 --> 00:03:41.550
We've got Brianna, who's going to be flying in from the West Coast, and some more that I'm working on.

00:03:41.550 --> 00:03:42.480
So it's going to be great.

We'll be actually all the way in the back in the private VIP area for the entire show and then we'll have a Kings for a couple hours after that where we plan on filming a little video for the song, and Tavares Jordan, the producer, who's got the hit song out right now that he produced, he will be flying in, probably from the West coast, to be there with us as well, so it's going to be action-packed, all right.

00:04:08.306 --> 00:04:09.710
Well, man, let's get into it.

00:04:09.710 --> 00:04:12.784

Um, are they going to win 70?

00:04:21.629 --> 00:04:23.581
My gosh, they've only lost four games so far.

00:04:23.581 --> 00:04:23.877
I don't know about 70.

00:04:23.877 --> 00:04:24.817
Yeah, you don't know about 70, okay, well, we're going to win 70?

00:04:24.767 --> 00:04:24.838
My gosh.

00:04:24.838 --> 00:04:25.274
They've only lost four games so far.

00:04:25.274 --> 00:04:25.788
I don't know about 70.

00:04:26.341 --> 00:04:27.505
Yeah, you don't know about 70?

00:04:27.505 --> 00:04:29.247
Okay, well, we're going to get into that.

00:04:29.247 --> 00:04:31.608
We're going to talk about the college football playoffs.

00:04:31.608 --> 00:04:33.848
We finally have our matchups here.

00:04:33.848 --> 00:04:42.829
We've got Ohio State and Notre Dame, so we'll dive into that and we are going to give you our picks for who is going to play in the Super Bowl and who's going to win the Super Bowl.

00:04:42.829 --> 00:04:44.132
So we'll end with that.

00:04:44.132 --> 00:04:45.053
All right, man.

00:04:45.053 --> 00:04:59.430
Well, let's go ahead and bring our guy who I know can't wait for the next game the Steelers Ravens, because he's got his MVP playing and I know he can't wait for that, so I know he's waiting for a thrilling game.

00:04:59.430 --> 00:05:03.331
Let's bring in our guy, Mr Christopher Davis.

00:05:03.331 --> 00:05:03.961
What's?

00:05:03.982 --> 00:05:10.223
going on, man, what's up up y'all, how y'all been doing good, how you doing, man?

00:05:10.223 --> 00:05:11.065
Oh, I'm a little stressed.

00:05:11.065 --> 00:05:14.533
You know I just need lamar come through, listen.

00:05:14.533 --> 00:05:17.088
This is this is put up or shut up time.

00:05:17.088 --> 00:05:19.255
You know everybody's been giving you the peyton manning.

00:05:19.255 --> 00:05:22.187
You know, seven years excuse until you break through.

00:05:22.187 --> 00:05:23.732
This is the breakthrough year, man.

00:05:23.732 --> 00:05:25.524
Last year it should have been.

00:05:25.524 --> 00:05:28.745
This year it's got to be Again.

00:05:28.745 --> 00:05:32.369
You know how these Steelers-Ravens games get over these past couple years.

00:05:32.369 --> 00:05:35.468
I'm a little nervous.

00:05:35.468 --> 00:05:36.154
I'm a little nervous.

00:05:36.154 --> 00:05:36.740
I'm not going to lie.

00:05:38.548 --> 00:05:40.800
We know how these Steelers-Ravens games can get.

00:05:41.221 --> 00:05:42.584
We brought the terrible tell.

00:05:42.584 --> 00:05:44.562
I'm just cold.

00:05:44.584 --> 00:05:46.281
I'm just, I'm cold and then I might.

00:05:46.281 --> 00:05:47.968
Then you know I'm hot, cold.

00:05:47.968 --> 00:05:50.221
It's been a little interesting here, so I'm just preparing.

00:05:50.221 --> 00:05:54.322
If it gets hot, I just need a towel in case I start sweating.

00:05:54.502 --> 00:05:55.586
So that's all it is.

00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:57.824
It's just a towel, in case.

00:05:57.865 --> 00:05:58.608
I start sweating.

00:05:58.608 --> 00:06:01.867
Yeah, it just happens to be.

00:06:02.047 --> 00:06:02.689
I just grabbed.

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:04.524
That don't even look fake.

00:06:04.524 --> 00:06:05.668
Yeah, that look a little real.

00:06:05.668 --> 00:06:09.987
All right, see the yellow and the black Like oh, it seems, color coordinated.

00:06:09.987 --> 00:06:11.103
Well, chuck.

00:06:11.122 --> 00:06:13.891
Global is a shout out to my guy because he is from Pittsburgh.

00:06:13.891 --> 00:06:15.663
So you know I'm repping him.

00:06:15.663 --> 00:06:22.107
You know, shout out to him with the song, and then, you know, I just need a towel, you know, in case I start sweating.

00:06:22.507 --> 00:06:23.307
All, in case I start sweating.

00:06:23.307 --> 00:06:25.331
All right, shout out to him we ain't going to sweat, though.

00:06:25.331 --> 00:06:28.235
We're going to do this, we're going to do this.

00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:29.641
All right, man.

00:06:29.641 --> 00:06:32.826
Well, let's get into these games.

00:06:32.826 --> 00:06:40.024
We're going to finish up before the thrilling game here, so we got less than an hour to go ahead and knock this out here.

00:06:40.024 --> 00:06:44.601
And, yeah, zay Flowers is out for that game, so we'll definitely get into that.

00:06:44.601 --> 00:06:49.529
But before we do that, we had the Bengals.

00:06:49.529 --> 00:06:52.935
The Bengals did not make the playoffs.

00:06:52.935 --> 00:07:07.449
They did everything they could at the very end of the season to make the playoffs but they ended up getting bounced because the Kansas City Chiefs just so happened to lose to the Denver Broncos, and it wasn't even close, it was a blowout.

00:07:07.449 --> 00:07:14.973
And I know, you know, kelsey was emphatic that they're not ducking any smoke and, you know, seemed to really had his chest out about that.

00:07:14.973 --> 00:07:18.810
But the game and the score kind of said otherwise.

00:07:18.810 --> 00:07:21.560
And yeah, we see, somerset, you know they lost on purpose.

00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.968
So, diego, were they concerned about that?

00:07:24.968 --> 00:07:25.750
That smoke?

00:07:26.572 --> 00:07:30.687
um, I think they're very concerned about the smoke.

00:07:30.687 --> 00:07:32.331
Uh, you know the Bengals.

00:07:32.331 --> 00:07:34.483
They are the only team or the only court.

00:07:34.483 --> 00:07:40.793
Joe Burrow is the only quarterback currently in the NFL that's beat my homes in the playoffs, because Brady was the only other person.

00:07:40.793 --> 00:07:42.300
He's he's gone, he's retired.

00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:56.247
So, yeah, I think they're, I think they're definitely scared of the bangles and that's why, uh, that's why they sat everyone and proceeded to lose 38 to zero wow yeah right what do you think about that, chris?

00:07:57.170 --> 00:08:04.603
uh, the team that lost to the patriots week one and then to the chargers late in the season, and every every game they came up short to the Ravens.

00:08:04.603 --> 00:08:12.750
This is the same team, right, like I'm sorry, I'm not saying Kansas City was dug in, but like we got to call a spade a spade.

00:08:12.750 --> 00:08:15.673
Zach Taylor's coaching in that defense was abysmal.

00:08:15.673 --> 00:08:19.697
Nobody was really everybody's just more worried about Joe Burrow and Jabbar.

00:08:19.697 --> 00:08:21.300
The defense is food Like.

00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:24.208
Nobody was really like stunned Cincinnati's defense like that.

00:08:24.208 --> 00:08:27.024
So I don't even I mean shoot Bo' Nick.

00:08:27.024 --> 00:08:34.623
The reason why the Broncos were almost the Broncos were putting themselves in a position to get in the playoffs was the fact that Bo' Nick was torching that defense.

00:08:34.623 --> 00:08:35.605
Everybody.

00:08:35.605 --> 00:08:39.265
Ad Dalton was having his way with the defense.

00:08:39.265 --> 00:08:41.004
He's not even our starting quarterback anymore.

00:08:41.004 --> 00:08:44.629
I don't understand what this whole fear of the bagels is.

00:08:44.629 --> 00:08:48.548
A fear of joe burrow, yes, but that defense, nobody was scared of them.

00:08:48.868 --> 00:08:51.360
And again they lost to the patriots week one.

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:56.500
This is not necessarily like an intimidating phone like, oh, they're getting hot, oh, they're gonna sneak in.

00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:58.908
They lost to good playoff teams.

00:08:58.908 --> 00:09:06.873
Their record is their record because again in the big moments, even versus teams like the Chargers currently have six points in a playoff game.

00:09:06.873 --> 00:09:11.292
This is, and they want the Bengals lost to them.

00:09:11.292 --> 00:09:12.000
So I'm not.

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.946
I would hear like you know they should.

00:09:14.946 --> 00:09:18.772
If they wanted to get in the playoffs they should have tried to win when.

00:09:18.772 --> 00:09:20.634
Just win the games you needed to win.

00:09:22.822 --> 00:09:23.144
OK, ok.

00:09:23.144 --> 00:09:37.086
So so the fact that the uh, you know burrows thrown for 5 000 yards, um things, the only qb to do that, even though you know guy that they say is gonna win his third mvp, didn't do that and it's about stats, but that doesn't matter.

00:09:37.086 --> 00:09:44.028
Um, you know, thrown for 5 000 and okay, but they're not not scared of him.

00:09:44.048 --> 00:09:52.469
Drew Brees threw for 5,000 yards every other five out of his 20 seasons and he's only won one MVP.

00:09:52.469 --> 00:09:56.245
No, he didn't even win an MVP, he just got the Super Bowl MVP so what are we doing?

00:09:56.264 --> 00:09:56.426
here.

00:09:56.426 --> 00:09:59.120
There is a precedent for this before.

00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:05.990
A guy on a great team that has a sucky defense doesn't go to the playoffs because said terrible defense he throws for 5,000 yards.

00:10:05.990 --> 00:10:07.765
He has a wide receiver again.

00:10:07.765 --> 00:10:15.192
Drew Brees never had a wide receiver like Jamar Chase, so I'm not even going to do that, but we've seen this precedent before.

00:10:15.192 --> 00:10:16.984
It's just I don't want that for Joe Burrow.

00:10:16.984 --> 00:10:20.504
I want him to get a ring, but in this conference it's like who's really going to get a ring?

00:10:20.504 --> 00:10:22.607
I think Justin Herbert just threw another pick.

00:10:22.607 --> 00:10:23.048
Again.

00:10:23.048 --> 00:10:25.192
This is the same team that they lost to.

00:10:26.053 --> 00:10:29.908
Alright, we just wanted to ask the question.

00:10:29.908 --> 00:10:30.827
Just dive into it.

00:10:30.827 --> 00:10:32.522
We seem to be split on this.

00:10:32.522 --> 00:10:35.888
Some of the fans say that they are scared.

00:10:35.888 --> 00:10:37.565
Some say that they're not scared.

00:10:37.565 --> 00:10:38.524
They have no reason.

00:10:38.524 --> 00:10:50.024
Tell us in the comments are the Chiefs ducking that smoke the only team, the only current squad, the only current quarterback to beat them in the playoffs in the last several years?

00:10:50.024 --> 00:11:01.373
Or are they just simply resting and going to have multiple weeks going into the playoffs, which we know that can be a bad sign when you have a little too much rest going into the playoffs.

00:11:01.373 --> 00:11:06.778
So we will see, but let's go ahead and move on to the next topic here.

00:11:06.778 --> 00:11:09.044
Let's go ahead and go into the game.

00:11:09.044 --> 00:11:11.091
So we currently have the Chargers versus Texans.

00:11:11.091 --> 00:11:15.508
Diego looks like the Texans are going to probably pull this off.

00:11:15.508 --> 00:11:17.852
It's early fourth quarter.

00:11:17.852 --> 00:11:21.345
Texans are up 20 to six with the ball.

00:11:21.345 --> 00:11:23.889
So, yeah, it looks like they're putting this away.

00:11:23.889 --> 00:11:28.327
It did not look like this early on, but they've totally turned it around.

00:11:28.327 --> 00:11:30.164
The Chargers are not able to score at all.

00:11:31.909 --> 00:11:37.090
Yeah, I had the Chargers in this one, but the Texans are getting carried by their defense.

00:11:37.090 --> 00:11:40.288
Nico Collins is having a really good game.

00:11:40.288 --> 00:11:45.317
Shout out to those guys, they're going to sneak away with another win here.

00:11:45.317 --> 00:11:47.936
Game Shout out to those guys they're going to sneak away with another win here.

00:11:49.441 --> 00:11:51.187
You're going to beat them by 20, dude.

00:11:51.268 --> 00:11:51.769
Yeah.

00:11:54.227 --> 00:11:57.884
If it was the first half.

00:11:57.985 --> 00:11:58.947
I got you bro.

00:12:00.051 --> 00:12:04.586
Yeah, diego, I don't know if it's a sneak CJ should have two picks.

00:12:04.532 --> 00:12:05.043
Yeah, diego, I don't know if it's a sneak.

00:12:05.043 --> 00:12:05.534
Let's look at CJ's game.

00:12:05.534 --> 00:12:12.889
Cj should have two picks and he had a slant route touchdown to one of the best receivers in the NFL.

00:12:13.288 --> 00:12:13.669
Okay.

00:12:14.552 --> 00:12:14.893
All right.

00:12:14.893 --> 00:12:25.969
Well, yeah, this is a tough watch, even though now Houston is starting to put up a lot of points, but it's still not the best game to look at, and that's hard to say for any NFL game.

00:12:25.969 --> 00:12:30.270
But let's go to the good games that we have here.

00:12:30.270 --> 00:12:36.528
Let's go ahead and move on to the Steelers and Ravens, because this is the one we've been waiting on here.

00:12:36.528 --> 00:12:39.068
It's going to start in about 45 minutes.

00:12:39.068 --> 00:12:42.009
Baltimore is a nine and a half point favorite.

00:12:42.009 --> 00:12:44.826
Nine and a half point favorite.

00:12:44.826 --> 00:12:49.428
Lamar, you know, three time MVP pretty much got it signed, sealed and delivered.

00:12:49.428 --> 00:12:54.206
So you know, diego, you're rocking the Ravens jersey.

00:12:54.206 --> 00:12:56.888
Is there any way the Ravens lose this game?

00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:16.368
Yeah, you know, I figured I'd try to give the Ravens all the help they can get so they can win this playoff game and so that when Lamar wins the MVP unanimously, that it's not going to get, you know, it's not going to get discounted due to this, due to them losing the first round.

00:13:16.368 --> 00:13:28.186
So I'm just trying to do my part and help them, help them win and, with that being said, I do have the Ravens winning this one All right, and oh and Eric, I want to respond to Erica in a second.

00:13:28.446 --> 00:13:30.027
So, Subber, pull that back up.

00:13:30.027 --> 00:13:38.312
But the other thing is, I believe the votes were due yesterday, I believe for MVP.

00:13:38.312 --> 00:13:41.235
I think they had to turn those in already.

00:13:41.235 --> 00:13:50.585
So the votes are cast and they're in, so the actual votes will have no bearing on the game today.

00:13:50.585 --> 00:13:52.187
So Erica said no on the Steelers.

00:13:52.187 --> 00:13:53.490
All right, thank you.

00:13:53.490 --> 00:13:59.470
But see, I haven't made my pick yet, so we don't know who I just like I said you know I've got this, just in case.

00:13:59.470 --> 00:14:01.120
You know, start sweating.

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.888
I got the towel and I'm prepared, just in case.

00:14:03.888 --> 00:14:10.528
So it has no indication on my pick, all right, so Mr Chris man Ravens.

00:14:11.410 --> 00:14:11.731
All right.

00:14:11.731 --> 00:14:15.110
So this is again my favorite player in the league.

00:14:15.110 --> 00:14:16.826
This is time to shine.

00:14:16.826 --> 00:14:20.711
You know it's been a great season.

00:14:20.711 --> 00:14:26.682
Listen, at this point I just want Lamar to be carried by Derrick Henry Screw.

00:14:26.682 --> 00:14:27.967
I'm happy with the MVP.

00:14:27.967 --> 00:14:30.207
I don't care as long as we get listen.

00:14:30.207 --> 00:14:34.106
Listen, if we can just ride Derrick Henry all the way to the Super Bowl, I don't care.

00:14:34.106 --> 00:14:37.466
We got the third MVP, I just want the Ravens to win the Super Bowl.

00:14:37.466 --> 00:14:40.107
At this point and again, we understand that.

00:14:40.107 --> 00:14:42.741
I understand Lamar Jackson great player, you know.

00:14:42.741 --> 00:14:47.866
And again, I had to just push that narrative of like Derek Henry, you know he's helping him out.

00:14:47.866 --> 00:14:51.649
Yes, unfortunately it is playoff time, but I've seen Derek Henry put up 200 yards before.

00:14:51.870 --> 00:14:54.111
We just need to do that and then we're going to win.

00:14:54.111 --> 00:15:12.687
So yeah, as a Lamar fan, it's like, hey, you know, this is put up or shut up, time the Steelers I mean shoot, like even the 34-17 game, like that wasn't the balance of, like if Marlon Humphrey didn't get that pick six.

00:15:12.687 --> 00:15:17.293
So it's like I don't know, I'm a little nervous, as you can tell.

00:15:17.293 --> 00:15:25.745
I think that nine-and-a-half spread is a little too crazy, because the Steelers have that kind of magic where, like, they can either get a turnover or something.

00:15:25.745 --> 00:15:32.687
So hopefully, hopefully, it doesn't come down to a Justin Tucker kick this year, because, lord, I'm not kidding, oh, that's right.

00:15:32.727 --> 00:15:33.591
Justin.

00:15:34.333 --> 00:15:44.167
Tucker can't take it oh, that's right we're starting the journey to the Super Bowl and, yeah, and if the Bills win tomorrow, that Ravens-Bills game is going to be hard for me to call.

00:15:44.167 --> 00:15:56.931
I'm not going to lie, but currently I think I like what I've seen from the Ravens after the bye and all their improvement, lamar, just how he's improved towards the end of the season.

00:15:56.931 --> 00:16:06.464
The Browns game was a little discouraging because I definitely wanted them to like, you know, not have as many penalties and like have as much of like mental errors and losing Zay, that does hurt a little.

00:16:06.464 --> 00:16:17.231
So because we lost Zay, hey, derrick, henry, isaiah, likely Rashad Babin, come on, that needs to be the game plan and the Ravenship win.

00:16:17.231 --> 00:16:20.315
But again, I am very scared.

00:16:20.335 --> 00:16:24.357
I'm not going to lie, it's not about this team with the Steelers man, I don't know.

00:16:24.880 --> 00:16:25.125
I don't know.

00:16:25.125 --> 00:16:26.301
Oh, very scared, very scared.

00:16:26.301 --> 00:16:34.788
So so the three-time mvp needs to lean on the running back and, um, not throw, okay, but that's okay, but it is cold, it it's gonna be cold.

00:16:34.788 --> 00:16:37.256
It's nighttime, it's gonna be in the 20s.

00:16:37.256 --> 00:16:40.423
Uh, it's gonna be a good afc north battle.

00:16:40.423 --> 00:16:51.128
Um, you know, teams that have very good defenses and that are tough and gritty, um, typically do very well in in in these types of games.

00:16:51.128 --> 00:17:07.096
Um, you know teams that have teams that have amazing coaching, um, and are just balanced, you know, are able to grind it out, do very well in this situation.

00:17:07.096 --> 00:17:12.423
So it looks like you guys are on the record for the Ravens, I believe I.

00:17:12.423 --> 00:17:13.645
You know what.

00:17:13.746 --> 00:17:16.393
I'm a go ahead and be on an island.

00:17:16.393 --> 00:17:20.827
I don't have my hat.

00:17:20.827 --> 00:17:22.009
I'll switch my hat.

00:17:22.009 --> 00:17:24.001
Bring that out next time I'm on an island.

00:17:24.001 --> 00:17:26.830
I'm a go ahead and officially go with the Steelers in this one.

00:17:26.830 --> 00:17:29.788
So we'll see what happens.

00:17:29.788 --> 00:17:32.367
Hopefully I can go ahead and get a game up.

00:17:32.367 --> 00:17:33.809
We'll see who Bree has in this one.

00:17:33.809 --> 00:17:39.913
But, um, we agreed on the other game, but I'm going with the Steelers in this one, all right.

00:17:39.913 --> 00:17:43.109
So let's move on to the next one.

00:17:43.109 --> 00:17:44.365
We'll come back to this later.

00:17:44.365 --> 00:17:46.688
Let's move on to the Broncos' Bills.

00:17:46.688 --> 00:17:51.628
I think we all might agree on this one Buffalo is a nine-point favorite at home.

00:17:51.628 --> 00:17:53.425
Diego, take this one away, man.

00:17:54.340 --> 00:17:55.405
Yeah, I got the Bills.

00:17:55.405 --> 00:17:57.480
Yeah, they're at home.

00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.884
You know Josh Allen getting ready to make a big playoff run.

00:18:00.884 --> 00:18:04.907
So, yeah, I'm going to go with the Bills here.

00:18:05.407 --> 00:18:11.373
Should be pretty obvious, okay obvious they're at home Nine-point favorite.

00:18:11.373 --> 00:18:12.594
The Broncos are dangerous.

00:18:12.594 --> 00:18:15.096
Broncos have been playing well.

00:18:15.096 --> 00:18:21.641
It took Cincinnati all they had at home to knock them out and then they totally blew the chiefs out of.

00:18:21.641 --> 00:18:23.204
The chiefs didn't play any starters.

00:18:23.204 --> 00:18:26.071
They still, uh, were impressive in that game.

00:18:26.071 --> 00:18:31.862
So, you know, could be a little closer than what people think, but, uh, the bills are the overwhelming favorite in this one.

00:18:31.862 --> 00:18:32.964
Who do you have in this one, chris?

00:18:33.567 --> 00:18:39.328
yeah, y'all know what kelly says about crescent 300s of phantoms, so I'm just just going to leave it at that.

00:18:39.328 --> 00:18:41.492
The Buffalo Bills are definitely going to win this one.

00:18:41.492 --> 00:18:55.288
I would be surprised if they didn't, purely because the whole narrative around this team has just been like oh, josh Allen needs to be Superman, he needs to be carrying this more abundant team.

00:18:55.288 --> 00:18:56.905
Then they post on social media.

00:18:56.905 --> 00:18:58.746
They're like oh, nobody's an All-Pro.

00:18:58.746 --> 00:19:06.910
I'm like, well, he kind of said, hey, the rest of our team sucks, even though James Cook is like one of the better running backs in the NFL.

00:19:06.910 --> 00:19:11.811
So you know, I just I want the Bills to win, just because I would.

00:19:11.811 --> 00:19:23.284
I would find it hilarious if they didn't, because I'm like, really, y'all are, so next, y'all people, after all the whole.

00:19:23.284 --> 00:19:23.785
You know, josh is like.

00:19:23.785 --> 00:19:24.307
Josh is like motivated.

00:19:24.307 --> 00:19:27.217
This is his year to get an mvp and he's gonna be the best quarterback in the nfl.

00:19:27.217 --> 00:19:30.565
Now it's like going outside to the brockers would be terrible.

00:19:30.846 --> 00:19:46.750
So I work for bill's fans also well, chris, if the ravens just so happen we know there's no way the Ravens lose tonight, there's no way that happens, but for some reason, if they happen to lose, the only thing that would save you is if the Bills lose as well.

00:19:46.750 --> 00:19:47.131
Yep.

00:19:48.663 --> 00:19:59.272
And then we can just wrap this up and just say that Kansas City is going to you know, do their thing, we're just going to, it's going to be unfortunate, because it's like, okay, well, now we know who's going to win the AFC.

00:19:59.272 --> 00:20:05.146
Because you know, yeah, ladman Conkey just had like a touchdown on the third and 26.

00:20:05.146 --> 00:20:08.967
So, yeah, yeah, the Chargers are back in it apparently.

00:20:08.967 --> 00:20:10.462
We will see how that one goes.

00:20:12.127 --> 00:20:12.528
Sell them.

00:20:12.528 --> 00:20:14.113
Cj might sell another one.

00:20:15.705 --> 00:20:16.971
He just missed the extra point.

00:20:16.971 --> 00:20:19.220
Oh they did, Now they're running, they ran.

00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:20.020
He just missed the extra point.

00:20:20.020 --> 00:20:21.481
Oh, they did, now they're running.

00:20:21.481 --> 00:20:23.143
Messed up, they ran it back.

00:20:23.143 --> 00:20:25.265
So yeah, yep, all right.

00:20:25.265 --> 00:20:28.067
Well, let's move on to the next game.

00:20:28.067 --> 00:20:30.548
Here We've got the Packers and the Eagles.

00:20:30.548 --> 00:20:33.410
The Eagles are a five-point favorite at home.

00:20:33.410 --> 00:20:36.313
Diego, who you got in this one?

00:20:37.192 --> 00:20:39.115
I'm going to go with the Eagles in this one.

00:20:39.115 --> 00:20:43.538
They're at home, and the Packers, they've just been a little banged up this year.

00:20:43.538 --> 00:20:49.740
And Christian Watson, they don't have him.

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:51.323
Yeah, they've been without.

00:20:51.323 --> 00:20:55.440
They've just been without a lot of their starters this year and I just think I just don't know if they have enough to win this game.

00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.964
It's a very tough Eagles team.

00:20:57.646 --> 00:21:03.862
Okay, okay, and it looks like josh has the eagles.

00:21:03.862 --> 00:21:04.343
Uh, yep, josh has eagles.

00:21:04.343 --> 00:21:05.144
Summer you go.

00:21:05.144 --> 00:21:05.926
Oh yeah, summer.

00:21:05.926 --> 00:21:13.751
We know you're going with uh the, uh the eagles, so that's no question there all right, many reasons, we know you're going there, all right.

00:21:13.751 --> 00:21:16.042
Uh, chris, who you got I?

00:21:16.063 --> 00:21:20.732
like the eagles in this one um again seeing them like rounding the form.

00:21:20.732 --> 00:21:28.428
The Packers again with Jordan Love I don't know how good he's going to be after his arm injury, so we're going to see how that goes.

00:21:28.428 --> 00:21:33.506
But I mean, to me it's going to be like Philly and Detroit in the NFC Championship.

00:21:33.506 --> 00:21:43.654
So I'm not even and with that I think that's when it's going to be a coin toss, but I'm excited to see what happens and how, basically how the Eagles do.

00:21:43.654 --> 00:21:49.615
I'm not going to say the Packers aren't going to put up a fight because, for whatever reason, matt LeFleur's teams are always scrappy.

00:21:49.615 --> 00:21:51.808
So we're going to see.

00:21:52.361 --> 00:21:52.883
I don't have the.

00:21:52.903 --> 00:21:53.546
Eagles in this one.

00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:56.640
Okay, so you guys both have the Eagles Again.

00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.523
Jalen Hurts is coming off of that concussion.

00:21:59.523 --> 00:22:01.346
Hasn't played since then.

00:22:01.346 --> 00:22:08.815
All reports are that he is sharp, but still, the last time we saw him they were losing to the Commanders.

00:22:08.815 --> 00:22:12.887
I told y'all about the Packers before.

00:22:12.887 --> 00:22:18.204
I'm going to stick with them, All right, so I am going to be.

00:22:21.681 --> 00:22:23.826
I'm going to be on my hat.

00:22:24.288 --> 00:22:25.070
That's crazy.

00:22:25.070 --> 00:22:31.747
I'm on the island, I'm on the island mountain with the Green Bay Packers, so the Packers will go ahead.

00:22:32.402 --> 00:22:33.606
You haven't learned your lesson, man.

00:22:33.606 --> 00:22:36.128
You haven't learned how to make smart picks.

00:22:36.128 --> 00:22:44.425
This is what dug you into a hole in the regular season and why you lost by about 20 games, and you just haven't learned.

00:22:44.425 --> 00:22:45.167
You just haven't learned, man.

00:22:45.167 --> 00:22:45.268
Okay.

00:22:46.801 --> 00:22:48.306
So this is a new season.

00:22:48.306 --> 00:22:51.553
All right, this is where I shine, this is when it matters.

00:22:51.553 --> 00:22:53.386
All right, this is when it really matters.

00:22:53.386 --> 00:22:54.554
So I got it.

00:22:54.554 --> 00:22:55.460
I got it, man.

00:22:55.460 --> 00:22:57.848
Like I said, I got the Packers.

00:22:57.848 --> 00:23:02.548
I stand by the pound on the island with the packers, although we'll see.

00:23:02.548 --> 00:23:03.452
Brie might be with me, so we'll see.

00:23:03.452 --> 00:23:06.542
We're gonna get hers in a minute, although I see her head moving in a certain direction.

00:23:06.542 --> 00:23:09.108
So maybe now, so I might truly be on the island.

00:23:09.108 --> 00:23:10.291
And then the steelers.

00:23:10.291 --> 00:23:15.161
You know, I'm on the island with that and I have a feeling I'm gonna be on the island possibly with another one.

00:23:15.161 --> 00:23:24.480
So I'm, I'm either a genius or the refs will rob me One or the other, one or the other, that's all, it is All right.

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:27.208
What or the other?

00:23:27.469 --> 00:23:28.432
All right.

00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:38.589
This is why you got to also pick like ref favorable teams, because these are the times of year where that's going to like count more, you know.

00:23:39.673 --> 00:23:40.950
Yeah, yeah, that is true.

00:23:40.950 --> 00:23:42.863
So that definitely you got to take that into account.

00:23:42.863 --> 00:23:44.266
With the cheese, what's up, johnny?

00:23:44.266 --> 00:23:45.911
Oh, hope you're doing well.

00:23:45.911 --> 00:23:49.105
My man can't wait to see you'll be at kings as well.

00:23:49.105 --> 00:23:50.788
That's our guy, okay?

00:23:50.788 --> 00:23:53.473
So, uh, yeah, that's that game.

00:23:53.473 --> 00:23:59.471
Let's go ahead and move to another game I think we're going to disagree on, but it may be in a slightly different order.

00:23:59.471 --> 00:24:01.394
We've got the Commanders.

00:24:01.394 --> 00:24:05.790
Commanders are traveling to the Bucs.

00:24:05.790 --> 00:24:08.208
The Bucs are a three-point favorite at home.

00:24:08.208 --> 00:24:11.528
So, diego, give us your rundown on this one.

00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:14.567
I'm going to go with the Bucs in this one.

00:24:14.567 --> 00:24:17.906
Just the Commanders they've had a great year.

00:24:17.906 --> 00:24:19.090
I mean 12-5.

00:24:19.090 --> 00:24:27.092
And they have won a lot of close games, but they haven't beat a lot of really good playoff-level teams.

00:24:27.092 --> 00:24:32.311
And then the Bucs, on the other hand, they haven't had the best year.

00:24:32.311 --> 00:24:33.564
They're 10-7.

00:24:33.564 --> 00:24:34.949
They've had some injuries.

00:24:34.949 --> 00:24:39.529
They still do have some injuries, but I believe in Baker Baker's shown that he can play well in the playoffs.

00:24:39.529 --> 00:24:40.498
Baker baker's shown that he he's played.

00:24:40.498 --> 00:24:41.982
He can play well in the playoffs.

00:24:41.982 --> 00:24:45.031
Every single playoff game he's played and he's played really well in.

00:24:45.602 --> 00:24:59.964
So I'm confident that he'll play well again against a rookie who've never seen the playoffs before in this game yep yep, yeah, yeah, uh, josh, uh, so, um, you know what, chris, we're going to have you go last on this one.

00:24:59.964 --> 00:25:03.627
So Josh has the Bucs, brandon has the Bucs.

00:25:03.627 --> 00:25:06.048
So yeah, we all definitely.

00:25:06.048 --> 00:25:11.792
And then Johnny O said Commander's on fire, but he agrees, diego has the Bucs and I have the Bucs.

00:25:12.333 --> 00:25:14.714
So we all got the Bucs here.

00:25:14.755 --> 00:25:20.218
So you know, depending on Bree, you know, I think man you might be, I have a feeling you might be on an island.

00:25:20.218 --> 00:25:23.743
Man, let me go ahead and fire it up here.

00:25:23.824 --> 00:25:32.807
I might be on an island with this, but there's something about Jaden Daniels man, I'm sorry, I think that you know for me again.

00:25:32.807 --> 00:25:39.340
Again you can see, with this commander's defense that's secondary, a little shaky, a little shaky sometimes.

00:25:39.340 --> 00:25:48.928
But again I know A with the Marshall Attaway or Mike Evans thing somebody might get ejected, so like somebody might lose their best wide receiver.

00:25:48.928 --> 00:25:51.509
If you know somebody like tries to throw hands.

00:25:51.509 --> 00:25:53.632
So I'm factoring that into my decision as well.

00:25:53.632 --> 00:25:56.273
So yes, I am choosing the commanders.

00:25:56.653 --> 00:26:05.869
I believe in Jay Daniels just coming up and having another clutch moment and kind of showing like really putting a stamp on his rookie season.

00:26:05.869 --> 00:26:06.250
We'll see.

00:26:07.782 --> 00:26:11.109
When was the last time Marshawn Lattimore played in a football game?

00:26:12.897 --> 00:26:14.766
The Eagles game.

00:26:14.786 --> 00:26:18.388
So that was about three, four, three months ago.

00:26:18.911 --> 00:26:20.234
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see.

00:26:20.234 --> 00:26:21.558
It was a while ago.

00:26:21.558 --> 00:26:27.131
No not the Saints-Eagles game, the Eagles game where, well, he did have a bunch of penalties on AJ Brown.

00:26:27.131 --> 00:26:28.305
So that's where I'm kind of like ugh.

00:26:28.305 --> 00:26:36.549
The one thing that scares me is that secondary in him and Mike Evans, you know, going to like coming to blows and stuff.

00:26:36.549 --> 00:26:37.583
So that's the one concerning thing I have.

00:26:37.583 --> 00:26:38.385
I don't coming to blows and stuff.

00:26:38.385 --> 00:26:39.770
That's the one concerning thing I have.

00:26:39.770 --> 00:26:45.211
I like this Commander scene for some reason, I don't know We'll see.

00:26:47.260 --> 00:26:47.925
They have another number two pick.

00:26:47.925 --> 00:26:50.006
That's had no pressure that the whole world is crowning.

00:26:50.006 --> 00:26:51.380
I see a lot of similarities.

00:26:51.380 --> 00:26:54.906
There Was his clutch moment.

00:26:54.906 --> 00:26:57.265
The Hail Mary, is that it?

00:26:57.265 --> 00:26:58.285
I guess so.

00:26:58.820 --> 00:27:01.490
Hail Mary, Atlanta, and then the Eagles drive All three.

00:27:04.585 --> 00:27:05.749
Atlanta is not a playoff.

00:27:06.663 --> 00:27:10.019
The bad call in the first quarter when Atlanta was beating them down.

00:27:10.019 --> 00:27:13.868
And then that call that kept that drive alive, that totally turned the game around.

00:27:14.391 --> 00:27:14.791
That one.

00:27:17.201 --> 00:27:17.382
And.

00:27:17.402 --> 00:27:18.728
Atlanta is not a playoff team.

00:27:18.728 --> 00:27:25.202
The Eagles were when Jalen Hurts got concussed and, and the Bears when.

00:27:25.202 --> 00:27:35.807
The Bears are just horrible, they're 4-11 or 4-13, they're just horrible that's not really signature yeah, chris.

00:27:36.784 --> 00:27:39.944
But Chris, you're saying his signature moment is going to be this right?

00:27:39.964 --> 00:27:42.111
now I'll be honest.

00:27:42.111 --> 00:27:50.246
If there's a signature moment tomorrow, please just believe the memes and jokes I will be sending to all of you guys will be electric.

00:27:51.202 --> 00:27:53.210
And they don't have to be Go ahead and post them.

00:27:53.210 --> 00:27:55.277
Post them on Instagram, put them out there.

00:27:55.277 --> 00:27:58.090
No no, no.

00:27:58.520 --> 00:28:04.123
I'm going to let this take parody, I've let it Verity, I've let it sit Because I believe, I believe in this Team man.

00:28:04.123 --> 00:28:05.743
We go see All right, all right.

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:08.544
So Chris has.

00:28:08.544 --> 00:28:17.759
Chris is on an Island with his Commanders, okay, so we got one more here, and then we're going to bring Bree on and get her take on these games.

00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.366
The last one here.

00:28:19.366 --> 00:28:25.404
Yeah, see, somerset Somers said to send them to her Chris, it's so awesome.

00:28:25.404 --> 00:28:28.609
And see, summer put a little sauce on them as well.

00:28:28.609 --> 00:28:33.032
So add a little something on top of them.

00:28:33.032 --> 00:28:33.760
Okay.

00:28:33.760 --> 00:28:37.111
So, last one, we've got the Vikings versus the Rams.

00:28:37.111 --> 00:28:39.900
The Vikings are two-and-a-half-point favorite.

00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:44.082
This game has been moved due to the tragic fires on the West Coast.

00:28:44.082 --> 00:28:48.563
Thoughts and prayers to everybody out there dealing with that for sure.

00:28:48.563 --> 00:28:58.061
First and foremost, the game has been moved to Arizona State Farm Stadium, diego man.

00:28:58.061 --> 00:28:59.222
Who's going to win this one?

00:29:00.625 --> 00:29:02.346
I'm going with the Rams in this one.

00:29:02.346 --> 00:29:07.250
The Rams, they, I just like the Rams' style.

00:29:07.250 --> 00:29:09.573
You know, the Rams I just like.

00:29:09.573 --> 00:29:11.134
They're just a very dangerous team.

00:29:11.134 --> 00:29:12.777
You know they won a Super Bowl.

00:29:12.777 --> 00:29:18.873
You know they're the only team other than the Chiefs that you know has a quarterback that's won the Super Bowl recently.

00:29:18.873 --> 00:29:21.709
So, yeah, that's a big advantage.

00:29:21.709 --> 00:29:23.086
They got the experience there.

00:29:23.086 --> 00:29:25.666
And the Vikings, they have Sam Darnold.

00:29:25.666 --> 00:29:31.612
Okay, and Sam Darnold, you've seen Sam Darnold in the big, big games.

00:29:31.612 --> 00:29:34.207
See, troy, he just folded.

00:29:34.207 --> 00:29:39.067
He was just throwing the ball over the receiver's heads and could not convert in the red zone.

00:29:39.067 --> 00:29:42.849
And Matt Stafford has a Super Bowl winning quarterback.

00:29:42.849 --> 00:29:48.742
They just got lots of experience there and lots of firepower with the receivers, so I got them.

00:29:49.625 --> 00:29:51.630
Okay, you got them All right.

00:29:51.630 --> 00:29:52.551
What about you, chris?

00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:54.385
I'm picking the Rams as well.

00:29:54.385 --> 00:29:59.150
Yeah, I trust Stafford and McVay in these big moments.

00:29:59.150 --> 00:30:03.171
Also, the Minnesota sports curse still exists out there.

00:30:03.171 --> 00:30:06.044
So I don't necessarily think that.

00:30:06.044 --> 00:30:12.535
I don't think Sam Darnold will necessarily make that better, because again we saw him in literally the biggest moment.

00:30:12.535 --> 00:30:15.865
Like all the marbles.

00:30:15.865 --> 00:30:21.401
You know you've got to win this game in order for your team to secure the one seed.

00:30:21.401 --> 00:30:22.243
You get the confidence.

00:30:22.243 --> 00:30:25.602
And then the Lions was literally like their backup.

00:30:25.602 --> 00:30:28.325
Smack-ups are like stopping you in the red zone.

00:30:28.325 --> 00:30:31.946
Like that's where I was like okay, this is a this 14 and 3 thing.

00:30:31.946 --> 00:30:34.826
We might have been looking through that with Rose-tinted glasses.

00:30:34.826 --> 00:30:36.605
So we gonna see.

00:30:36.707 --> 00:30:39.844
Okay, alright, sounds good, sounds good.

00:30:39.844 --> 00:30:44.372
Well, you guys are going to be how many?

00:30:44.472 --> 00:30:44.772
islands.

00:30:44.772 --> 00:30:45.413
Is this man?

00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:47.023
A lot of islands.

00:30:47.465 --> 00:30:48.348
It's like three.

00:30:49.641 --> 00:30:54.208
That's a boy over there man, come on, not the islands man, not the islands.

00:30:54.339 --> 00:30:58.039
Hey, so you guys are going to be in a three-game deficit.

00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:01.980
So you're going to be in an unrecoverable deficit.

00:31:01.980 --> 00:31:04.940
We might as well not even pick the rest of the playoffs.

00:31:04.940 --> 00:31:06.150
Let's just enjoy it.

00:31:06.150 --> 00:31:14.185
We'll have shows, we'll talk about what's happening and all that, but don't even worry about picking anymore for the rest of the playoffs after this one, because I'm going to be up so much.

00:31:14.185 --> 00:31:16.644
I can't believe y'all don't see that.

00:31:16.644 --> 00:31:21.012
Yeah, josh, so man, the Vikings, I'm afraid they're the favorite here.

00:31:21.012 --> 00:31:27.112
Sam Darnold, that game against Detroit, that was his playoff game.

00:31:27.112 --> 00:31:29.259
Okay, that gave him the experience.

00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:30.506
And you saw how he looked.

00:31:30.506 --> 00:31:31.964
You saw how he looked.

00:31:31.964 --> 00:31:34.823
That wasn't even a playoff game he totally pulled it.

00:31:34.843 --> 00:31:35.746
That got him ready.

00:31:35.746 --> 00:31:36.950
They were in a dome.

00:31:36.950 --> 00:31:38.261
The conditions were the same.

00:31:38.261 --> 00:31:40.685
Him ready, they were in a dome, the conditions were the same, the defense was very similar.

00:31:40.685 --> 00:31:43.030
It's a lot of similarities in that game.

00:31:43.030 --> 00:31:54.325
They are very well coached, they have a great coaching staff, they've got the weapons on the outside and they're going to fix all their mistakes and they're going to take it to the Rams they're going to get.

00:31:54.325 --> 00:31:55.522
Thanks, mom, appreciate that.

00:31:55.522 --> 00:31:56.005
Love the hat.

00:31:56.005 --> 00:31:58.727
They're going to get this one man.

00:31:58.727 --> 00:32:02.289
Yes, I will snag another one from you guys.

00:32:02.289 --> 00:32:04.987
Like I said, don't even worry about picking for the rest of the playoffs.

00:32:04.987 --> 00:32:11.047
Let's just have fun, talk about the games and whatnot, maybe at the Super Bowl, because I'm sure all of our stuff is going to be wrong.

00:32:11.047 --> 00:32:15.347
We'll then just pick at the Super Bowl show at Kings who we're going to win.

00:32:15.941 --> 00:32:37.490
Don't worry about picking anymore after this end, but don't worry about picking anymore after this all right, all right, all right.

00:32:37.651 --> 00:32:43.355
I just hope you get one, so you don't embarrass yourself, don't come back here over three.

00:32:43.855 --> 00:32:47.116
Oh, there's no way, there's no way, no way, no way.

00:32:47.116 --> 00:32:48.038
I I will.

00:32:48.038 --> 00:32:56.202
I will at least have an amazing batting average, or, you know, decent three-point average, a good enough three-point average to play in the nba.

00:32:56.202 --> 00:33:05.450
So here we go, yeah, because you only got to shoot about what 18 to play in the nba at this point a little bear game.

00:33:05.470 --> 00:33:09.405
Man don't do that, all right chris.

00:33:09.445 --> 00:33:12.151
Well, we're gonna bring you on back on in a minute.

00:33:12.151 --> 00:33:15.683
We're gonna uh bring brie on and then we'll see you in a little bit, all right, all right?

00:33:15.683 --> 00:33:22.737
All right, my man, let's bring brie on for brie's picks.

00:33:22.737 --> 00:33:25.061
All right, what's going on?

00:33:25.061 --> 00:33:25.461
Brie?

00:33:25.461 --> 00:33:35.300
All right, and brie, I think you are on me yeah, I was no worries, no worries, what's up?

00:33:36.102 --> 00:33:42.692
nothing much, just lots of allergies over here oh, oh well, hope those pass soon.

00:33:42.973 --> 00:33:51.473
Uh sound great and uh great to have you love the shirt thank you thank you oh yeah, oh yeah, so all right.

00:33:51.614 --> 00:33:53.045
So it is playoff time.

00:33:53.045 --> 00:33:54.048
We are excited.

00:33:54.048 --> 00:33:59.566
We can't wait to have you here in about a month for the super bowl show, but now the playoffs are finally upon us.

00:33:59.566 --> 00:34:03.794
So so we've got, you know, the game here Texans Chargers.

00:34:03.794 --> 00:34:10.929
I think we all felt that the Chargers would come out and get this one, but it's looking like the Texans are going to pull this one out.

00:34:10.929 --> 00:34:15.612
But let's move on to the Steelers Ravens.

00:34:15.612 --> 00:34:18.989
So are you joining me on this island?

00:34:18.989 --> 00:34:22.141
Are you with everybody else, with Lamar and the Ravens?

00:34:22.601 --> 00:34:24.226
No, I will not be joining your island.

00:34:26.130 --> 00:34:26.652
Good choice.

00:34:27.333 --> 00:34:29.699
Yeah, right, no, seriously, I don't know.

00:34:29.699 --> 00:34:34.670
I just feel like the Ravens, like Lamar Jackson, he's just too good.

00:34:34.670 --> 00:34:39.967
I feel like the Steelers don't really match up to them and Derrick Henry has been really good.

00:34:39.967 --> 00:34:46.889
So, yeah, diego's yeah, but the Steelers have a really good head coach.

00:34:46.889 --> 00:34:51.692
So I think if the Steelers do win, I wouldn't be surprised either way.

00:34:52.019 --> 00:34:54.847
So yeah, it is going to be cold.

00:34:54.847 --> 00:34:56.112
You know the conditions.

00:34:56.112 --> 00:35:01.333
The conditions favor the Steelers to a degree as far as their defense and whatnot.

00:35:01.333 --> 00:35:03.989
Of course you know like you said they've got Derrick Henry.

00:35:03.989 --> 00:35:08.280
You know, if they run the ball they, you know, should be in good shape.

00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:09.824
But you know you never know.

00:35:09.824 --> 00:35:17.525
If they want to try to prove that Lamar should be the MVP and throw it a little more than they should, then it could get a little dicey.

00:35:17.867 --> 00:35:26.710
Yeah, yeah, with the wind and the cold and everything, yeah absolutely okay, so you're on record for the ravens for that one, all right.

00:35:26.710 --> 00:35:28.373
What about, uh, broncos bills?

00:35:29.255 --> 00:35:34.579
Okay, as much as I like the Broncos, I really like what Bo Nix has been doing, but I really just have to go with the Bills.

00:35:34.579 --> 00:35:37.101
The Bills, josh Allen.

00:35:37.101 --> 00:35:56.981
I really think he's gonna win MVP, but anyway, he's just really good and I feel, like the Broncos, it is Bo Nix like first playoff game, so I feel like there's gonna be like a lot of pressure on him and he's gonna like fold under that pressure that he has to like fold under that pressure that he has um and the bills.

00:35:56.981 --> 00:35:59.251
They just have josh allen he has really good passing and rushing, like techniques and everything.

00:35:59.251 --> 00:36:09.840
So with that I'm definitely gonna have to pick the bills, even though I like the broncos because of bonics yep, yep, so we all agree on that one for sure, for the same reasons that you are okay.

00:36:10.322 --> 00:36:13.025
All right, so, uh, let's see the fourth one.

00:36:13.025 --> 00:36:17.378
We've got the green bay packers traveling to philly to play the eagles.

00:36:17.378 --> 00:36:19.543
Uh, looks like I'm on the island.

00:36:19.543 --> 00:36:21.867
So far with the packers on this one.

00:36:21.867 --> 00:36:24.202
Uh, what side do you want for this one?

00:36:25.166 --> 00:36:29.858
um, you know, I like what the packers have been doing lately, but I don't think it's enough to beat the eagles.

00:36:29.858 --> 00:36:31.483
I mean that's.

00:36:31.483 --> 00:36:33.086
I feel like that's not a fair match.

00:36:33.086 --> 00:36:34.170
Like the eagles are so much better, that's my.

00:36:34.170 --> 00:36:34.623
I feel like that's not a fair match.

00:36:34.623 --> 00:36:37.045
Like the Eagles are so much better that's my dad's team, the Packers.

00:36:37.045 --> 00:36:38.067
So I feel bad for this.

00:36:38.067 --> 00:36:44.782
Sorry dad so um, and Jordan Love might fold under that playoff pressure as well too.

00:36:44.782 --> 00:36:49.179
So with that, it's just really a no brainer to me to pick the Eagles.

00:36:49.318 --> 00:36:52.126
So okay, yeah, the Eagles are there.

00:36:52.126 --> 00:36:53.409
That's a tough place to play.

00:36:53.409 --> 00:37:01.373
Uh, even riding by and looking at the stadium, it's intimidating, like it's yeah it's intimidating place, the fans, everything.

00:37:01.753 --> 00:37:03.778
So it's gonna be a tough, tough place.

00:37:03.778 --> 00:37:06.744
But, um, yeah, hurts, hurts.

00:37:06.744 --> 00:37:12.902
Not playing a little bit concerns me, um, and you know the weather conditions and whatnot, but uh, they've got.

00:37:12.902 --> 00:37:23.266
Hey, saquon sat out and didn't go for Eric Dickerson's rushing record, so he should be fresh and as long as they hand him the ball, that should give them a big advantage.

00:37:23.266 --> 00:37:25.059
So, yeah, what happens there?

00:37:25.059 --> 00:37:26.143
Okay, all right.

00:37:26.143 --> 00:37:29.085
So then we've got the commanders going to Tampa.

00:37:29.085 --> 00:37:34.460
So let's see, let's see Brandon's comment Christian Watson out for this game.

00:37:34.460 --> 00:37:35.217
Jordan Love banged up.

00:37:35.217 --> 00:37:37.101
Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely.

00:37:37.101 --> 00:37:39.007
That's the case right there, brandon.

00:37:39.007 --> 00:37:40.257
Thanks for checking us out, my man.

00:37:40.257 --> 00:37:42.985
So commanders are traveling to Tampa.

00:37:42.985 --> 00:37:46.181
Tampa won their division narrowly over the Falcons.

00:37:46.181 --> 00:37:48.768
Diego and I both have the Bucs.

00:37:48.768 --> 00:37:50.617
Chris has the commanders.

00:37:50.617 --> 00:37:53.402
What side are you on for that commanders Bucs game?

00:37:53.884 --> 00:37:54.947
Chris has the Commanders.

00:37:54.947 --> 00:37:57.512
What side are you on for that Commanders-Bucks game?

00:37:57.512 --> 00:37:58.554
I'm going to have to agree with Chris on this.

00:37:58.554 --> 00:38:00.516
With the Commanders, I know Diego was surprised.

00:38:00.516 --> 00:38:07.108
I know Mayfield, he is really experienced and he has really good arm strength because he knows how to play these games.

00:38:07.108 --> 00:38:15.442
But I feel like the Commanders, they've been doing really well with their offense and their defense, but they need to limit turnovers and then I think they'll be good because they have a lot.

00:38:16.103 --> 00:38:19.067
All right, yeah, that is a toss.

00:38:19.067 --> 00:38:21.809
So I think command bucks are a three point favorite.

00:38:21.809 --> 00:38:29.068
That's going to be a close one and that's one of the most narrow margins that we have here as far as favorites.

00:38:29.068 --> 00:38:32.737
So, and of course, us, you know picking pros, we're all split on this one.

00:38:32.737 --> 00:38:37.862
So so, and for us, you know picking pros, we're all split on this one, so we're two and two, so we'll see that this one might end up deciding.

00:38:37.862 --> 00:38:40.224
You know who's in the lead here, so we'll see what.

00:38:40.224 --> 00:38:41.967
What happens with this one.

00:38:41.967 --> 00:38:43.528
Ok, and then the last one.

00:38:43.528 --> 00:38:51.856
I'm really curious to hear your take on this, because I don't know what your pick is, so I'm excited to hear this one.

00:38:51.856 --> 00:38:56.027
We've got the Vikings at Rams this is in your neck of the woods, um, diego and chris have the rams.

00:38:56.027 --> 00:39:04.521
I am on the island so far with the vikings, and though the vikings are, uh, like a two and a half point favorite, who do you have in this one?

00:39:05.161 --> 00:39:07.146
I'm gonna agree with you and your crazy takes.

00:39:07.146 --> 00:39:19.898
I'm gonna go with the vikings all right I like I love mat Matthew Stafford, obviously because he was a Lions quarterback for so long, but you know he has a lot of experience.

00:39:19.898 --> 00:39:23.579
But I just I don't know the Vikings when they play the Lions.

00:39:23.579 --> 00:39:29.277
They didn't really play that well, but I feel like they played well enough to where they could potentially beat the Rams.

00:39:30.018 --> 00:39:31.945
I think I'm thinking, but I guess we'll see.

00:39:31.945 --> 00:39:42.125
But if the Rams win win again, like with the other teams I wouldn't really be as surprised, but I really think the vikings are gonna win, even though I don't really want them to, but I think they will what, the what the right?

00:39:42.144 --> 00:39:45.860
yep, I understand that and see, that's where you know picking these games.

00:39:45.860 --> 00:39:59.356
A lot of times when we pick a team, they think you know they're our favorite team or we're fans of them and whatnot, and and you know, a lot of times we are picking against the team that we want to win because we're predicting what we think is truly going to happen.

00:39:59.356 --> 00:40:00.958
So you know, that's that.

00:40:00.958 --> 00:40:02.242
That's part of this business.

00:40:02.621 --> 00:40:11.938
Yeah, yeah, you yeah, you have to pick against the Panthers a lot because, uh yeah, sometimes you truly don't think they were going to win.

00:40:11.938 --> 00:40:13.262
What, what did you say, Bree?

00:40:13.262 --> 00:40:14.284
I think we cut you off.

00:40:14.894 --> 00:40:16.400
Oh, I just said it's hard to do.

00:40:17.284 --> 00:40:17.565
Yeah.

00:40:17.954 --> 00:40:18.998
Like kind of what Diego said.

00:40:18.998 --> 00:40:20.364
Just because of my Cardinals too.

00:40:20.364 --> 00:40:22.001
They were not good either.

00:40:23.255 --> 00:40:26.445
Yes, yes, yes, for sure.

00:40:26.445 --> 00:40:26.947
Okay.

00:40:26.947 --> 00:40:29.963
Well, bree, we're going to have you back on at the end.

00:40:29.963 --> 00:40:31.550
All four of us are going to be here together back on at the end.

00:40:31.550 --> 00:40:32.148
All four of us are going to be here together.

00:40:32.148 --> 00:40:41.958
Yeah, brandon, playoffs are a different animal, but we're all going to be together to give our Super Bowl matchup predictions and who we think is going to win the Super Bowl.

00:40:41.958 --> 00:40:43.376
So we're going to end the show with that.

00:40:43.376 --> 00:40:46.842
So we'll see you in a few minutes, okay.

00:40:47.355 --> 00:40:52.257
Okay, all right, thank you, all right, cool, cool.

00:40:52.257 --> 00:40:54.623
So all right, diego man.

00:40:54.623 --> 00:41:07.199
Well, we're going to bring Chris back on and we are going to go ahead and talk a little bit of college football, nba, for a second, and then we're going to finish up here with our Super Bowl predictions.

00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:16.231
So let's bring Chris on and let's get into the college football championship.

00:41:16.231 --> 00:41:18.599
Okay so, chris man, welcome back.

00:41:19.121 --> 00:41:19.603
What's up?

00:41:20.224 --> 00:41:20.525
Okay.

00:41:20.525 --> 00:41:23.483
So we've got Ohio State, the Buckeyes.

00:41:23.483 --> 00:41:31.108
The Buckeyes have, you know, made their way into the championship after that embarrassing loss to Michigan.

00:41:31.108 --> 00:41:34.885
They've, you know, righted the ship and made their way there.

00:41:34.885 --> 00:41:37.663
But then we've got Notre Dame.

00:41:37.663 --> 00:41:41.545
Notre Dame has made their way to the championship as well.

00:41:41.545 --> 00:41:45.981
See, josh is saying 32-12 Texans.

00:41:45.981 --> 00:41:48.983
Yeah, the game is getting out of hand for sure.

00:41:48.983 --> 00:41:51.664
So we're not even paying attention to that one anymore.

00:41:51.664 --> 00:41:54.563
Does Notre Dame Diego, we're going to start with you?

00:41:54.563 --> 00:41:55.094
Does that one anymore?

00:41:55.094 --> 00:41:55.974
But um, does notre dame diego, we're gonna start with you.

00:41:55.974 --> 00:41:57.804
Does notre dame have a chance?

00:41:57.804 --> 00:42:00.878
Ohio state is the overweight, overwhelming favorite, clearly.

00:42:00.878 --> 00:42:03.289
Uh, everybody's predicting them to win.

00:42:03.289 --> 00:42:07.518
They're probably a double digit favorite at this point.

00:42:07.518 --> 00:42:10.804
Um, everybody, um, does notre dame have a chance?

00:42:12.186 --> 00:42:12.367
chance.

00:42:12.367 --> 00:42:13.708
Notre Dame definitely has a chance.

00:42:13.708 --> 00:42:16.360
I mean, they've they play really well these playoffs.

00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:21.260
They've had, uh, some good wins against Georgia, even though Georgia didn't have Carson Beck.

00:42:21.260 --> 00:42:42.722
Um, that was still a good win, you know, to beat, to be a team of that caliber and then to beat Penn State in a clutch, in the clutch like that, um, yeah, I just think I think Notre Dame's a good team and and they definitely have a shot I'm going to pick Ohio State because they just have too much firepower, but Notre Dame definitely has a shot.

00:42:42.722 --> 00:42:43.626
It's going to be a good game.

00:42:44.530 --> 00:42:46.155
Okay, All right.

00:42:46.155 --> 00:42:47.061
What do you think, Chris?

00:42:47.815 --> 00:43:03.822
Yeah, I got Ohio State in this one mostly because they've won in so many different ways, because I think the first two games it was again like the offensive explosion and then their defense you know coming through and just like you know being dominant.

00:43:03.822 --> 00:43:11.047
But this last game versus texas it was like it got a little gritty towards the end and again that goal line stand was crazy.

00:43:11.047 --> 00:43:15.880
And then the whole touchdown that jack square had had, like that was, that was a cool moment for him.

00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:18.844
You know, after the whole Michigan fight thing getting that touchdown.

00:43:18.844 --> 00:43:22.061
You know I like a good story like that, like that was kind of cool.

00:43:22.061 --> 00:43:24.563
So I want Ohio State to win this.

00:43:24.563 --> 00:43:29.545
Also, ryan Day, great job, save my man because, ooh, it was looking bad for him.

00:43:29.746 --> 00:43:30.889
Yeah, yeah.

00:43:37.155 --> 00:43:37.757
He was in trouble.

00:43:37.757 --> 00:43:38.659
So, hey, I'm glad for this.

00:43:38.659 --> 00:43:39.945
You know, extended playoff for us getting to see these.

00:43:39.945 --> 00:43:42.677
You know somebody tweeted like, oh yeah, upstart programs, you know counted out.

00:43:42.677 --> 00:43:46.746
You know ohio state, notre dame, you know just two smaller programs, you know they're.

00:43:46.746 --> 00:43:50.769
And it's like, you know we, we know it was going to be marketing.

00:43:50.769 --> 00:43:54.824
We know that ohio's like they're the biggest brand, so I'm just, yeah, I'm excited to see the ratings of, like, how big this was going to be marketing.

00:43:54.824 --> 00:43:57.554
We know that Ohio, they're the biggest brand, so I'm just starting to see the ratings of how big this is going to get.

00:43:57.554 --> 00:44:01.125
And then, yeah, it's just Texas.

00:44:01.514 --> 00:44:03.903
I don't even want to say anything about Quentin Ewers right now.

00:44:06.038 --> 00:44:07.083
Now, that's interesting.

00:44:07.083 --> 00:44:09.302
And you see, josh has got Ohio State.

00:44:09.302 --> 00:44:19.563
Yeah, I'm interested to see the ratings with this because you know, state yeah, I'm interested to see the ratings with this because myself, personally, I'm not as excited about these college football games right now.

00:44:19.563 --> 00:44:24.585
To me it's because the NFL playoffs are here.

00:44:24.585 --> 00:44:36.237
Watching Ohio State, notre Dame or any of these teams is like watching the Chargers and the Texans Okay, nothing else on, okay, I'll watch it.

00:44:36.237 --> 00:44:38.865
But I'm not really all that excited about it.

00:44:38.865 --> 00:44:44.775
Now, if it's New Year's Day or a couple days after, you know, yeah, you know.

00:44:44.775 --> 00:44:47.525
And Brandon, yeah, you know the ratings will be high.

00:44:47.525 --> 00:44:51.025
But I mean the ratings will be high because nothing else is on.

00:44:51.025 --> 00:44:52.722
But, okay, ratings are high.

00:44:52.722 --> 00:44:57.681
But how excited are y'all really, you know, I mean, about that game.

00:44:57.681 --> 00:44:59.786
Are you really all pumped up about?

00:44:59.806 --> 00:45:05.556
me at this point the only narrators are really like marcus freeman being like first blackhead coach to win championship.

00:45:05.556 --> 00:45:08.744
And then you know ryan day, you know silencing all of his doubters.

00:45:08.744 --> 00:45:23.557
So that's like right, the only entry if you want to watch Jeremiah Smith, cause, like I'm not really like a big fan of Will Howard, but Jeremiah Smith is cold, so you know that's kind of yeah, what's your thoughts on that, diego?

00:45:23.577 --> 00:45:24.420
I mean, are you really?

00:45:24.420 --> 00:45:42.836
I mean, to me it's kind of like, okay, let's let's go ahead.

00:45:42.918 --> 00:45:45.161
And then you had the national championship before the NFL playoffs.

00:45:45.161 --> 00:45:55.414
I kind of like the format, because the national championship was around like week 18, where the teams are kind of where teams aren't really playing, playing.

00:45:55.414 --> 00:46:14.168
So, yeah, yeah, if they move the season a little earlier to where they would have the playoffs and then have these big games, um, before the play, before the nfl playoff start, I think that would be the best thing, because because I'm not that excited for this national championship game, more excited for the, you know, the divisional round and yeah that's where, kind of where the, the energy and the focus is.

00:46:14.188 --> 00:46:19.847
So yeah, like I said, gonna watch it, but not not all that you know, keyed up on.

00:46:19.847 --> 00:46:20.809
You have those storylines.

00:46:20.809 --> 00:46:24.380
Actually, I'm more intrigued to see what deon sanders is going to do.

00:46:24.380 --> 00:46:32.304
You know, that's kind of got more about digit, you know, and and the draft and what's going to happen there.

00:46:32.384 --> 00:46:36.943
I thought he was going to the Raiders, but then like, oh, justin Herbert just threw another pick.

00:46:36.943 --> 00:46:42.614
Ah well, that's all folks you have to go low key, you have to go.

00:46:43.856 --> 00:46:45.260
Yeah, they might have to.

00:46:45.260 --> 00:46:51.936
They might have to, yeah, yeah now, brandon, yes, you wish the national championship game you know would finish in January 1st at the Rose Bowl.

00:46:51.936 --> 00:46:54.077
Yeah, that would have my attention.

00:46:54.077 --> 00:46:56.378
I would be excited about that.

00:46:56.378 --> 00:47:07.344
The championship really needs to be that week, but for it to start to bleed deep into the NFL playoffs, it just starts to lose a little bit of its luster there.

00:47:07.344 --> 00:47:09.144
So, yeah, great point, brandon.

00:47:09.425 --> 00:47:17.449
All right, well, let's move on to a little bit of NBA here before we finish off and bring Brie back on and give our Super Bowl picks.

00:47:17.449 --> 00:47:20.492
Man, we haven't talked NBA in a while.

00:47:20.492 --> 00:47:22.753
Cavs have been killing it.

00:47:22.753 --> 00:47:31.119
They're on pace to win 70, maybe even a game or so more than that.

00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:32.641
They only have four losses, are beating everybody.

00:47:32.641 --> 00:47:36.528
Boston beat OKC, who's looking fantastic.

00:47:36.528 --> 00:47:39.081
They're starting to get.

00:47:39.081 --> 00:47:44.414
A lot of the pundits are starting to say that they actually have a chance to make the NBA finals.

00:47:44.414 --> 00:47:56.221
So, diego, two part are the Cavs going to beat 70 and be better than your Golden State Warriors were, and do they have a chance to get to the finals and maybe even win a title?

00:47:57.876 --> 00:47:59.603
No, I don't think they're going to be better.

00:47:59.603 --> 00:48:01.884
I don't think they're going to go 74-8.

00:48:01.884 --> 00:48:05.443
And I don't think they're going to get 70.

00:48:05.443 --> 00:48:10.804
I think they'll definitely get in the 60s, but not 70s like elite, elite category.

00:48:10.804 --> 00:48:12.802
I think they'll start to fade just a little bit.

00:48:12.802 --> 00:48:18.682
They have proved that they're the top team in the East right now as it comes to regular season play.

00:48:18.682 --> 00:48:25.677
They folded too many times in the playoffs for me to believe in them to get Pat to get to the NBA Finals.

00:48:25.677 --> 00:48:28.635
But to get to the Eastern Conference Finals definitely.

00:48:28.635 --> 00:48:38.675
I think they have what it takes to get there, even though it's not going to be easy, because you still got the knicks and the south is, of course, in the knicks, but um, but yeah, but I think they're.

00:48:39.217 --> 00:48:48.905
They're eastern conference finals, I would say for them right now eastern conference finals and finishing in the 60s and brandon the brandon agrees with that as well.

00:48:48.905 --> 00:48:49.807
Uh, what about you, chris?

00:48:50.637 --> 00:48:52.706
I would say the same, um, mostly.

00:48:52.706 --> 00:49:00.206
Again, one thing that we saw with the 73 not the nine warriors, is they kind of like ran out of gas, like towards the end of that run.

00:49:00.206 --> 00:49:07.420
So more teams like, hey, let's just win the 60 games, so like a franchise record, just like you know, wind it down around playoff time.

00:49:07.420 --> 00:49:11.467
So I think I'm very excited to see what this team does.

00:49:11.467 --> 00:49:15.626
However, the celtics championship experience cannot be forgotten.

00:49:16.376 --> 00:49:35.898
And then the fact that Cat is just pooping, like we grossly underrated, like the trade between the Knicks and the Wolves, because we're like, oh yeah, julius Randle is going to Deva, chenzo is more shooting, it's like no, they actually got what they needed, which is a shooting center who can rebound.

00:49:35.898 --> 00:49:40.275
You don't need, you don't need Cat to be like a great defender, you just need him to be solid.

00:49:40.275 --> 00:49:46.335
So that I think that the addition of Cat makes the Knicks feel very interesting.

00:49:46.335 --> 00:49:57.663
But I again, I think the Celtics championship experience it really depends on like who like's seeding and who faces who and how all that goes down.

00:49:57.663 --> 00:50:01.800
But I, I don't know the Cavs are making me nervous about playoff time.

00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:07.739
I'm not going to lie Donovan Mitchell, he got one good playoff series in him, and then it's like ah, what's?

00:50:07.780 --> 00:50:09.005
happening.

00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:14.521
You know he's going to little boy Darius Garland, because Darius Garland has been playing great.

00:50:14.521 --> 00:50:17.563
But when playoff time comes it's going to be spider time.

00:50:17.563 --> 00:50:20.260
Garland's going to take the back seat.

00:50:20.722 --> 00:50:21.003
Yep, yep.

00:50:21.003 --> 00:50:28.594
He's going to start scooping his head and he's going to start LeBron Jamesing him and, yeah, they're going to be battling.

00:50:28.594 --> 00:50:32.907
He's going to be extra bow-legged in the playoffs and doing all types of stuff.

00:50:32.907 --> 00:50:37.400
So, yeah, they are not, um, going to be sharing the ball the way that they are now.

00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:39.123
So, yeah, one of those teams.

00:50:39.123 --> 00:50:53.900
Now, as far as the knicks go, love, you know what they've got going on, but tibideau is going to find a way to run them into the ground before the uh playoffs come especially having cat, because with yeah, yeah, yeah so you can write the knicks off of that.

00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:55.786
So people are going to start getting hurt at the end.

00:50:55.786 --> 00:50:58.449
So the Celtics again.

00:50:58.449 --> 00:51:04.221
Everything is going to fall right into place for them to just go on and coast and walk right in.

00:51:04.914 --> 00:51:05.914
How's your rematch pick looking man?

00:51:05.914 --> 00:51:09.577
Because Luka's been missing time, kyrie's been missing time.

00:51:09.577 --> 00:51:11.384
How's your rematch pick looking man?

00:51:12.797 --> 00:51:19.342
I was so curious about that I kind of want the thunder to win my body yeah, how's your rematch looking?

00:51:19.362 --> 00:51:22.818
could you say like the maps and celtics are gonna like have their rematch?

00:51:23.780 --> 00:51:27.748
yeah, I said that, right, yep, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, that's.

00:51:27.748 --> 00:51:28.409
Oh, that's done.

00:51:28.409 --> 00:51:29.239
Oh, you can book that.

00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:30.222
Oh, that's definitely.

00:51:30.222 --> 00:51:31.789
Yeah, that's definitely all right.

00:51:31.789 --> 00:51:34.777
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, yeah, that's gonna.

00:51:34.777 --> 00:51:36.119
Because again, the definitely All right.

00:51:36.119 --> 00:51:51.498
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely yeah, that's because again the Celtics are going to walk there, because again the Cavs are going to have infighting as far as who the man is, the other team, they're going to start to self-destruct.

00:51:51.498 --> 00:51:52.820
So the Knicks are going to start to be hurt.

00:51:52.820 --> 00:51:54.403
So, yeah, that's, that's the done deal right there.

00:51:54.403 --> 00:51:58.811
And then the, the mavs are just waiting for playoff time and they're going to turn it on.

00:51:58.811 --> 00:52:01.641
So, no, my, my rematches is looking good now.

00:52:01.641 --> 00:52:04.606
Josh had a question um, let's pull that back up.

00:52:04.606 --> 00:52:07.920
Uh, do you think kenny will win a coach of the year?

00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:09.884
He, he is doing a phenomenal job.

00:52:09.884 --> 00:52:11.606
Is this a pretty much a no-brainer?

00:52:11.766 --> 00:52:15.333
uh, diego, yeah, I think so right now.

00:52:15.333 --> 00:52:16.577
Yeah, it's a no-brainer right now.

00:52:16.577 --> 00:52:19.742
Okay, okay, I say he's in the running.

00:52:19.742 --> 00:52:20.664
But yeah.

00:52:20.664 --> 00:52:21.907
Kenny, he's got it.

00:52:21.907 --> 00:52:24.179
He's a front runner right now, yeah you.

00:52:24.398 --> 00:52:29.818
You got to say, kenny, I mean you doke is doing a great job, but yeah, I mean four losses with the Cavs.

00:52:29.818 --> 00:52:39.496
Nobody saw that coming and um, and a lot of us questioned the firing of the other coach, but he's come in and has done a fantastic job.

00:52:39.496 --> 00:52:45.175
So yeah, for sure, chris, did you have something?

00:52:46.139 --> 00:52:47.356
on that, I definitely think it's Kenny.

00:52:47.356 --> 00:52:52.739
He has the best team in the league right now For sure.

00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:58.864
Now, summer, I know you backstage and I can see your face, so this was for you.

00:52:58.864 --> 00:53:02.028
So with the game, right now, game is out of reach.

00:53:02.028 --> 00:53:05.172
Houston is now blowing the Chargers out.

00:53:05.172 --> 00:53:10.239
Justin Herbert is throwing picks left and right.

00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:17.304
So Aaron, our videographer, just sent me a text and said Herbert's looking like Jameis Winston tonight.

00:53:19.697 --> 00:53:40.844
Yeah, man, we got to have discussions about who we have in top five, conversations after the playoff meltdown versus the Jaguars, like, two years later hitting in the top five, and then we have, you know, losing to yeah, losing to the Texans.

00:53:40.864 --> 00:53:41.626
CJ Stroud.

00:53:43.295 --> 00:53:44.742
Hey, texans got a good defense.

00:53:44.742 --> 00:53:46.853
You're not going to do that.

00:53:46.853 --> 00:53:48.079
You're not going to.

00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:50.079
Cj did not play his best game.

00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:51.257
We're not saying that you know?

00:53:51.257 --> 00:53:53.289
Yeah, man, I think two playoff wins for CJ Str play his best game.

00:53:53.289 --> 00:53:53.934
We're not saying that yeah, man.

00:53:53.934 --> 00:53:56.340
I think two playoff wins for CJ.

00:53:57.199 --> 00:53:59.695
Yeah, that's right, brandon, that's right.

00:53:59.695 --> 00:54:02.601
You had one job, you were a good flag Odo.

00:54:02.601 --> 00:54:04.579
Playoff wins.

00:54:04.579 --> 00:54:05.181
Yeah, man.

00:54:05.181 --> 00:54:08.445
That goes a long way, y'all man.

00:54:10.059 --> 00:54:11.304
I don't want those conversations.

00:54:11.304 --> 00:54:13.878
Cj and Lamar have the same playoff win.

00:54:13.878 --> 00:54:15.699
Lamar tonight, uh-uh.

00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:16.760
Ooh, that's right.

00:54:16.760 --> 00:54:18.423
That's how to mess around bro.

00:54:18.623 --> 00:54:22.427
That's right, that's right Three, four, five and six.

00:54:22.427 --> 00:54:23.710
We got to do this, man.

00:54:26.875 --> 00:54:28.601
CJ has just had the perfect, just kind of row.

00:54:28.601 --> 00:54:31.960
You know, it's been perfect, perfect fall the way it's fallen.

00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:33.186
It it's been perfect, perfect fall the way it's fallen.

00:54:33.186 --> 00:54:34.753
It's been perfect for him.

00:54:34.773 --> 00:54:34.875
Okay.

00:54:34.875 --> 00:54:37.543
Now what if?

00:54:37.543 --> 00:54:40.297
Okay, super, super hypothetical.

00:54:40.297 --> 00:54:43.342
Okay, since you're not going to give it to him yet, at least Diego.

00:54:43.342 --> 00:54:45.061
I'm not talking about you, chris, but Diego.

00:54:45.061 --> 00:54:51.623
But if the Ravens take care of business, then the Ravens and Bills take care of business.

00:54:51.623 --> 00:54:53.179
They'll be facing each other next week.

00:54:53.179 --> 00:54:54.505
That's going to be amazing.

00:54:54.505 --> 00:54:58.766
But if that happens, then the Texans will have to go up the arrowhead.

00:54:58.766 --> 00:55:01.561
What if the Texans win that game?

00:55:05.664 --> 00:55:09.293
It's not going to happen, why are we even talking about stuff we're not going to?

00:55:09.293 --> 00:55:12.083
This is CJ Stroud versus Patrick Mahomes.

00:55:12.364 --> 00:55:13.106
Are we serious.

00:55:14.518 --> 00:55:15.896
Why is this even like being mentioned?

00:55:16.297 --> 00:55:17.721
you, you might as well.

00:55:17.721 --> 00:55:25.378
Oh my gosh man, cj, cj, cj will be, cj will not have to win another game Patrick Mahomes.

00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:27.422
What we're just gonna forget about that?

00:55:27.422 --> 00:55:34.885
That Bryce basically beat him, but when they really get us in big drops and a bunch of stuff happened we will.

00:55:35.226 --> 00:55:40.804
We will If that had, if he goes up there and wins that man anyway, okay.

00:55:40.804 --> 00:55:43.260
Well, we got, uh, we got to get on out of here.

00:55:43.260 --> 00:55:49.766
So let's get to our final segment, let's bring Brie back on and let's get into our Superbowl predictions, all right.

00:55:49.766 --> 00:55:54.101
So here we go, brie, what predictions?

00:55:55.103 --> 00:55:55.764
All right, so here we go.

00:55:55.764 --> 00:55:58.869
Brie, what's up, brie?

00:55:58.869 --> 00:56:00.652
Oh, I was muted again.

00:56:00.672 --> 00:56:06.115
I'm good, all right, oh cool.

00:56:06.115 --> 00:56:06.918
So, uh, let's see I'll bring that up.

00:56:06.918 --> 00:56:07.460
Uh, summer, please, let's see.

00:56:07.460 --> 00:56:13.684
Brandon's love Lamar, but Buffalo's going to be love Lamar.

00:56:13.724 --> 00:56:14.465
Buffalo is tough.

00:56:14.485 --> 00:56:15.708
Yeah, that's definitely gonna be tough.

00:56:15.708 --> 00:56:22.969
Okay, all right, so let's go ahead and get our final predictions here.

00:56:22.969 --> 00:56:24.478
Super Bowl right now.

00:56:24.478 --> 00:56:28.135
Let's go ahead and start with Diego.

00:56:28.135 --> 00:56:32.936
Diego, who do you have matching up in the Super Bowl, and then, who do you have winning?

00:56:32.936 --> 00:56:33.456
I got the bills versus the, versus the Lions.

00:56:33.456 --> 00:56:34.197
Diego, who do you have matching up in the Super Bowl, and then who do you have winning?

00:56:35.155 --> 00:56:40.021
I got the Bills versus the Lions in the Super Bowl and I got the Lions winning.

00:56:41.936 --> 00:56:42.838
Oh, okay.

00:56:43.059 --> 00:56:43.460
All right.

00:56:44.322 --> 00:56:47.047
So Diego, all right, okay, we're on record here.

00:56:47.047 --> 00:56:52.784
Diego's got the Bills and the Lions and he's got Detroit winning the Super Bowl.

00:56:52.875 --> 00:56:59.230
I got them getting their revenge, because you know the team that loses in the regular season usually gets the revenge in the playoffs.

00:56:59.230 --> 00:57:09.076
And yeah, I just believe in detroit they got what it takes okay yeah, all right man, okay, all right, all right, okay, um, let's switch up.

00:57:09.115 --> 00:57:10.840
Brie, who do you have?

00:57:12.164 --> 00:57:15.375
um, so I definitely have the bills and the lions going to the super bowl.

00:57:15.375 --> 00:57:24.867
No surprise there, I don't think, but um, but I think the lions are definitely gonna win too because, like diego said, they are gonna get the revenge.

00:57:24.867 --> 00:57:31.684
That game was just a preview, so, and we'll have touch back, we have montgomery back, so it's a no-brainer to me.

00:57:32.365 --> 00:57:33.648
All right, all right Okay.

00:57:35.956 --> 00:57:36.657
Chris, who do you have?

00:57:36.657 --> 00:57:38.059
I have the Lions and the Ravens.

00:57:38.059 --> 00:57:40.643
You know I'm sticking with it.

00:57:40.643 --> 00:57:42.947
Listen, I'm running.

00:57:42.947 --> 00:57:44.389
I got to stick on a little more.

00:57:44.389 --> 00:57:49.208
I'm trying to get the wheels to fall off.

00:57:49.208 --> 00:57:49.789
I got the Ravens.

00:57:49.789 --> 00:57:54.775
I don't know how they could possibly win that game if they actually played the Lions.

00:57:54.775 --> 00:58:02.119
I'm not going to lie, but somehow, if everything breaks right and the Ravens remain hot, I will say that the Ravens could win the Super Bowl this year.

00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:12.585
So they're my Super Bowl pick, because I just want Lamar to, you know, encapsulate this great season with, finally, you know, capturing this elusive championship.

00:58:12.585 --> 00:58:16.226
That's kind of what I want to see, man, and I love Detroit.

00:58:16.226 --> 00:58:21.608
You know, jameer Gibbs, you carry my fantasy team, so if you see this, don't hate me, bro, please don't.

00:58:21.608 --> 00:58:25.231
But I'm right with Lamar.

00:58:25.231 --> 00:58:27.431
So the wheels fall off and you know, we're going to see.

00:58:27.431 --> 00:58:28.371
We're going to see.

00:58:28.371 --> 00:58:31.833
All right, man, all right, ok, ok.

00:58:39.076 --> 00:58:42.485
Ooh man all right, okay, okay, oh man interesting um hmm, y'all are making me thinking about it.

00:58:42.505 --> 00:58:47.099
Hey, like I'm not even knocking their choices, because that can legitimately happen yeah, I'm.

00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:49.748
I'm thinking of uh, all right, drew, what's up drew.

00:58:49.748 --> 00:58:51.534
Okay, pick is gonna pop off tonight.

00:58:51.534 --> 00:58:52.617
All right, we're gonna.

00:58:52.617 --> 00:58:55.099
We're to be looking for it, we're going to be looking for you.

00:58:55.099 --> 00:58:59.199
You see that, chris, all right, drew said Pickens he's going to do his thing tonight.

00:58:59.340 --> 00:58:59.882
All right.

00:59:00.777 --> 00:59:05.001
So, man, this is an interesting season.

00:59:05.001 --> 00:59:11.898
I'm going to man okay, call an audible.

00:59:11.898 --> 00:59:14.523
I'm going to say Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

00:59:14.523 --> 00:59:15.028
Man, okay, call it audible.

00:59:15.028 --> 00:59:18.619
I'm gonna say chiefs in the super bowl.

00:59:19.041 --> 00:59:22.045
nobody said that that was my backup.

00:59:22.045 --> 00:59:31.981
I was thinking about having the chief it's my backup, just because you know the disrespect on this panel is just outrageous you know, if the chief, I can't do another, another straight year.

00:59:31.981 --> 00:59:34.175
This man, no, no one can't on this panel is just outrageous If the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl.

00:59:35.278 --> 00:59:37.436
I can't do another straight year in this man.

00:59:37.496 --> 00:59:38.420
No, no one can.

00:59:38.420 --> 00:59:38.943
I can't do it.

00:59:41.916 --> 00:59:44.463
I'm going to say Chiefs Lions.

00:59:46.590 --> 00:59:46.951
Okay.

00:59:47.552 --> 00:59:48.215
In the Super Bowl.

00:59:48.635 --> 00:59:49.840
I'm glad we all picked the Lions.

00:59:49.840 --> 00:59:50.302
I'm glad.

00:59:51.476 --> 00:59:59.280
The whole world is going to be picking the Lions on that one oh man, they're going to make history.

00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:00.485
Here we go.

01:00:02.733 --> 01:00:04.320
I might wait till the show on the 8th.

01:00:05.016 --> 01:00:08.161
Give my pick, oh so we got to give our picks.

01:00:10.682 --> 01:00:11.284
No one cares.

01:00:12.936 --> 01:00:16.360
Yeah, what the heck, oh man no one cares about you?

01:00:16.380 --> 01:00:17.041
What are?

01:00:17.402 --> 01:00:18.724

01:00:18.884 --> 01:00:21.788
Oh man it's a cold game man.

01:00:21.827 --> 01:00:23.050
We know you want to save a lot, it's okay.

01:00:23.050 --> 01:00:27.864
He's going to get it wrong regardless, that's fine.

01:00:29.697 --> 01:00:30.581
And you know I might.

01:00:30.581 --> 01:00:32.914
We'll see what happens.

01:00:32.914 --> 01:00:39.824
We'll see who we have in the Super Bowl at the very end, but right now I'm gonna go ahead and say Detroit.

01:00:39.824 --> 01:00:44.016
I'm gonna go ahead on record and say Detroit, but we'll see.

01:00:44.016 --> 01:00:56.300
You know, if we may have the bills because I have no shame we may have the bills versus the Chiefs in the AFC championship game and I might go with the Bills, who knows?

01:00:56.300 --> 01:01:00.420
Right now I'm going to say Chiefs-Lions and I'm going to say Lions are going to take it.

01:01:00.420 --> 01:01:03.105
That's what we're going to go with.

01:01:03.105 --> 01:01:06.057
Can't wait.

01:01:06.057 --> 01:01:09.898
Looks like they're going to go ahead and start pretty soon.

01:01:09.898 --> 01:01:14.918
Chris, yeah, we're pulling for you, man.

01:01:15.802 --> 01:01:16.304
Fares up.

01:01:16.304 --> 01:01:18.402
Fares are up.

01:01:18.402 --> 01:01:20.000
Right now I am very scared.

01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:22.822
Yeah, you know we're going to see.

01:01:22.822 --> 01:01:25.556
