What if the Kansas City Chiefs owe their success to more than just raw talent?

Join our father-son duo as we debate the Carolina Panthers' quarterback situation and Bryce Young's future in the NFL. And don't miss our special shoutout to high school athletes, a nod to our exciting new feature on the horizon.

We also tackle the high-stakes world of the NFC, where the San Francisco 49ers are feeling the pressure to make a Super Bowl run this year. With financial challenges looming, can they rise to the occasion? Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints are looking sharp with Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara leading the charge. Our analysis of the Dallas Cowboys reveals some ongoing struggles, and we speculate whether their performance against the Eagles could be their true measure of success this season.

00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:13.324
Not much, not much.

Just, you know, ready for this exciting week of football.

00:00:15.868 --> 00:00:18.850
You know, hopefully Panthers quarterback change.

00:00:18.850 --> 00:00:20.484
Let's see if we can get a win this weekend.

00:00:21.228 --> 00:00:26.260
All right, all right, we're going to weekend.

00:00:26.260 --> 00:00:27.903

Uh, it's gonna be, uh gonna be fun to see.

00:00:29.027 --> 00:00:36.112
We got a full slate of games 16 games and we'll get into all those picks at the end of the show, but before that we've got some fire topics to talk about.

00:00:36.112 --> 00:00:51.707
Today, of course, we uh have uh two carolina panther, uh, homers, i'ma say, and I say that I, I, I say that affectionately logical fan you're, you're a logical fan.

00:00:51.707 --> 00:00:52.069
What about?

00:00:52.109 --> 00:00:53.851
you, chris, rain, slater, snow.

00:00:53.851 --> 00:00:58.106
I'm just saying you know I'm I'm along for the ride this season.

00:00:58.106 --> 00:01:00.814
Honestly, I definitely.

00:01:00.814 --> 00:01:05.400
These past two weeks our expectations have been a little disappointed, not going to lie.

00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.930
But I definitely feel like you know, quarterback change.

00:01:08.930 --> 00:01:15.290
Hopefully we have a more confident Andy Dalton just slinging it back there and we can see what happens.

00:01:15.671 --> 00:01:17.634
Okay, all right, we're going to see.

00:01:17.674 --> 00:01:18.355
We're going to see now.

00:01:18.355 --> 00:01:23.347
Now, if he does come in there and sling it, what does that say about what Bryce has done?

00:01:23.347 --> 00:01:24.706
But don't answer that just yet.

00:01:24.706 --> 00:01:25.841
We're sling it.

00:01:25.841 --> 00:01:27.326
What does that say about what bryce has done?

00:01:27.326 --> 00:01:27.989
But don't answer that just yet.

00:01:27.989 --> 00:01:29.896
We're gonna get to that in in the fourth segment, so we're gonna talk about that.

00:01:29.896 --> 00:01:30.799
We gotta tease that.

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:31.682
We're gonna talk about that.

00:01:31.981 --> 00:01:36.680
Shout out to dc david cook on instagram uh, say we got him right where we want him.

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.746
That was famously said on our uh show.

00:01:39.746 --> 00:01:41.489
Uh, about some other topics.

00:01:41.489 --> 00:01:46.165
So maybe, maybe that's the panthers plan, maybe you actually have the nfl right where you want them.

00:01:46.165 --> 00:01:54.628
Uh, as you are cooking up some plans and strategies that you know we're not aware of, all right, all right.

00:01:54.628 --> 00:01:56.632
Well, hey, we've got a fire show again.

00:01:56.632 --> 00:02:01.816
You can see the topics below we're going to talk about hey, who's the best team in the afc right now?

00:02:01.816 --> 00:02:02.920
Uh, the saints.

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:04.965
They're off to a hot 2-0 start is.

00:02:04.965 --> 00:02:07.010
Is that a fluke or are they for real?

00:02:07.010 --> 00:02:08.644
The Dallas Cowboys?

00:02:08.644 --> 00:02:10.710
You know, they took a dive last week.

00:02:10.710 --> 00:02:13.229
Week two, once again after a big week one.

00:02:13.229 --> 00:02:15.587
Same old Cowboys, same old story.

00:02:15.587 --> 00:02:16.925
We're going to dive into that.

00:02:16.925 --> 00:02:26.143
Bryce Young again, we've got two Carolina Panther guys here, so we've got to talk about Bryce, you know, is he going to get a second chance?

00:02:26.143 --> 00:02:26.844
If he does, what will he do with it?

00:02:26.844 --> 00:02:28.911
And then, of course, we're going to make our week three picks.

00:02:28.911 --> 00:02:32.829
So we've got a great, great show planned for you here today.

00:02:32.868 --> 00:02:35.445
Thanks for everyone that makes us put this show together.

00:02:35.445 --> 00:02:37.455
Thank you, summer, for behind the scenes.

00:02:37.455 --> 00:02:38.580
Summer is managing the comments.

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:40.163
Shout out to you, I see you there.

00:02:40.163 --> 00:02:42.789
Thanks for everybody checking us out.

00:02:42.789 --> 00:02:44.112
Much love, all right.

00:02:44.112 --> 00:02:45.052
Thanks for everybody checking us out.

00:02:45.052 --> 00:02:45.473
Much love, all right.

00:02:45.492 --> 00:02:47.713
And hey, we will be at King's two weeks from today.

00:02:47.713 --> 00:02:50.414
We'll be back at King's October 5th.

00:02:50.414 --> 00:03:00.538
That is going to be a great show, a lot of special guests, and we will be kicking off our weekly high school athlete feature.

00:03:00.538 --> 00:03:05.860
Okay, so we're going to be featuring a high school athlete weekly, uh, starting on that show.

00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:07.405
So you don't want to miss that.

00:03:07.405 --> 00:03:13.171
So, hey, all you high school athletes out there, step your game up and hopefully you can be on pick them pros.

00:03:13.171 --> 00:03:13.854
You know what I mean.

00:03:13.854 --> 00:03:16.181
All right, all right, all right.

00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:17.122
Well, let's get into it.

00:03:17.122 --> 00:03:22.454
Let's start with the AFC and let's see who the best team is.

00:03:22.454 --> 00:03:32.995
So now, as we talk about this guys, about the best team in the AFC, I'm not talking about who's won Super Bowls OK, we're, we're.

00:03:32.995 --> 00:03:33.837
We're not talking about history.

00:03:33.837 --> 00:03:34.379
We're talking about today.

00:03:34.379 --> 00:03:36.605
Ok, we're talking about right now.

00:03:36.605 --> 00:03:41.021
If you are a team in the NFL, ok, who do you not want to see?

00:03:41.021 --> 00:03:41.622
You know what I mean.

00:03:41.622 --> 00:03:41.703
Who?

00:03:41.703 --> 00:03:42.144
Who are you afraid?

00:03:42.144 --> 00:03:42.685
Who do you not want to see?

00:03:42.685 --> 00:03:43.085
Who's I mean who?

00:03:43.085 --> 00:03:43.725
Who are you afraid?

00:03:43.725 --> 00:03:44.826
Who do you not want to see?

00:03:44.826 --> 00:03:47.250
Who's the best team right now in the afc?

00:03:47.670 --> 00:03:58.942
diego, kick us off, man so, um, the best team in the afc is still the chiefs, and I know you said you know don't talk about sewer bowls and all that, but this is for a different reason.

00:03:58.942 --> 00:03:59.463
I promise this.

00:03:59.463 --> 00:04:06.703
For different reasons, okay, uh, every team should be scared to face the chiefs in the afc because of the refs.

00:04:06.703 --> 00:04:17.170
The refs are always going to be on the Chiefs side and in the first two games, you know they could easily be 0-2 right now, but the refs, kind of you know, bailed them out a little bit.

00:04:17.170 --> 00:04:28.468
So, because of the refs, I would not want to see the Chiefs, and the refs are going to make sure the Chiefs get a high seat in the AFC to see the Chiefs and the refs are going to make sure the Chiefs get a high, high seat in the AFC.

00:04:28.507 --> 00:04:29.610
Wow, I did not see that coming.

00:04:29.610 --> 00:04:31.293
That, that's a that's an interesting take.

00:04:31.293 --> 00:04:33.182
What, what's your take on that, chris?

00:04:33.583 --> 00:04:38.682
honestly, I agree mostly with the Chiefs, kind of scratching the surface of the team that they are.

00:04:38.682 --> 00:04:43.661
I do understand that the ref ball last game was a little crazy, just a little much.

00:04:43.661 --> 00:04:49.391
Some stuff wasn't called evenly, but you know, I really feel like that's what we can see with the Chiefs.

00:04:49.391 --> 00:04:56.240
But the one thing that I've noticed with this team is you have to turn Mahomes over and you also have to play perfect.

00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.649
It's like playing the Patriots back in the day.

00:04:58.649 --> 00:05:01.646
You have to play perfectly.

00:05:01.646 --> 00:05:08.968
You got to make sure your offense is on the field and not Patrick Mahomes when it comes down to the refs having to make a judgment call.

00:05:08.968 --> 00:05:14.966
Now, I do think a team in their division is sneaking up, though, with how well the Chargers have been playing.

00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.709
And the thing is they've been running the ball really well.

00:05:18.709 --> 00:05:33.026
I really think that Harbaugh has them boys really locked in and I really think that Justin Herbert really hasn't had the Justin Herbert game yet, where you see him throw 400 yards, you see him throw three touchdowns and the defense has also played very well.

00:05:33.026 --> 00:05:35.348
Granted, they have played the Raiders and Panthers.

00:05:35.348 --> 00:05:42.389
So I really feel like we really are going to judge them when they play the Chiefs, but I do think they're having a great beginning to the season.

00:05:42.389 --> 00:05:44.064
So I think the Chargers are a bit interesting.

00:05:44.064 --> 00:05:45.949
I still think the Chiefs are the best team.

00:05:46.610 --> 00:05:58.471
Okay, yeah, and the Chargers, I agree they're interesting and, you know, by week five we'll have a much better feel of the teams because, you know, some teams are 2-0, some teams are 0-2.

00:05:58.471 --> 00:06:01.584
A lot of that may have something to do with who they played.

00:06:01.584 --> 00:06:05.269
We're finding that out week to week, so we're not quite sure yet.

00:06:05.269 --> 00:06:06.029
But I do agree.

00:06:06.029 --> 00:06:07.531
I believe in the Chargers.

00:06:07.531 --> 00:06:09.495
I definitely have them this week.

00:06:09.495 --> 00:06:14.942
I believe in Harbaugh and how he coaches.

00:06:14.942 --> 00:06:16.345
He just instantly turns teams around by focusing on the fundamentals.

00:06:16.345 --> 00:06:17.588
So you're seeing that yet again.

00:06:17.588 --> 00:06:19.391
So it's interesting.

00:06:19.391 --> 00:06:26.192
I don't know what type of big numbers we'll really see from Herbert, because of the style of play that they're playing.

00:06:26.192 --> 00:06:32.269
I do feel like the Chargers will continue to win and that should be a great game when they play the Chiefs.

00:06:32.269 --> 00:06:33.404
So I'm looking forward to that.

00:06:33.404 --> 00:06:37.540
But I feel that his numbers are they're already taking a bit of a dive.

00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:39.988
I think they'll continue to stay where they're at.

00:06:39.988 --> 00:06:44.343
However, I think they will be a winning team and be a playoff team.

00:06:44.343 --> 00:06:45.904
So that'll be interesting to see.

00:06:45.904 --> 00:06:58.396
But I'd say right now, I go with the Buffalo Bills, I think the Buffalo Bills, the Buffalo Bills and shout out to Finn Warrior we see your comments on IG, so keep those coming.

00:06:58.396 --> 00:07:01.463
Thank you, I would want to play the Bills.

00:07:01.463 --> 00:07:02.624
They're more balanced.

00:07:02.624 --> 00:07:04.324
I love their defense.

00:07:04.324 --> 00:07:07.187
They are putting up great numbers.

00:07:07.187 --> 00:07:11.031
Right now they have a 13-point differential.

00:07:11.031 --> 00:07:13.615
They're averaging 32.5 points a game.

00:07:13.615 --> 00:07:15.456
Defense has gotten three picks.

00:07:15.456 --> 00:07:17.440
They're playing solid.

00:07:17.440 --> 00:07:21.372
It really made the Dolphins look a lot worse than what they are.

00:07:21.372 --> 00:07:23.204
I mean, even before Tua.

00:07:23.204 --> 00:07:27.206
They picked Tua off three times before the concussion, so that game was already over.

00:07:27.206 --> 00:07:35.906
It was over so much to where we already posted a celebration pick in the third quarter on Instagram celebrating the fact that we got that one right.

00:07:35.906 --> 00:07:37.867
So I'm going with them.

00:07:37.867 --> 00:07:46.728
However, the Texans we all know the Texans are coming, but I think the Texans are still early, so they still have a little work to do.

00:07:46.728 --> 00:07:48.545
They only have a four-point differential.

00:07:48.545 --> 00:07:56.129
Love their defense, I love the weapons, I love what they've added, but I think the Texans are still a year away.

00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:57.285
The Chiefs are the Chiefs.

00:07:57.285 --> 00:08:00.209
The Chiefs are obviously the gold standard.

00:08:00.209 --> 00:08:03.290
However, I believe that luck is going to run out.

00:08:03.290 --> 00:08:05.588
They remind me of the Steelers.

00:08:05.588 --> 00:08:08.369
They definitely remind me of the Patriots, like you said, christopher.

00:08:08.369 --> 00:08:09.886
So there's no doubt about that.

00:08:09.886 --> 00:08:12.425
They're very Patriot-esque.

00:08:12.526 --> 00:08:14.930
To where you have to beat them.

00:08:14.930 --> 00:08:15.833
You have to bury them.

00:08:15.833 --> 00:08:27.346
You can't leave any doubt because, if not, there's going to be a call or a Mahomes amazing play that will put them over the top, so you can't leave it to chance.

00:08:27.346 --> 00:08:37.200
At the end, however, they remind me of the Steelers how, with Big Ben, with Ben Roethlisberger, they used to win a lot of games like that and have all these miraculous comebacks.

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:47.767
And then, all of a sudden, one year, they were having that drive and everyone thought they were going to win, and they didn't, and they were never that drive, and, and, and everyone thought they were going to win, and they didn't, and they were never the same since.

00:08:47.767 --> 00:08:56.240
Um, and at some point, the chiefs are going to have to get out of this, these tight games, and start actually beating people the way that they uh, the way that we feel they can.

00:08:56.743 --> 00:08:59.732
So you know they're going to do it in the playoffs.

00:08:59.732 --> 00:09:04.162
They're going to well, they're going to play their potential in the playoffs.

00:09:04.222 --> 00:09:04.982
Let's talk about that.

00:09:04.982 --> 00:09:06.946
I believe that they're going to try.

00:09:06.946 --> 00:09:08.267
They certainly will.

00:09:08.267 --> 00:09:11.692
They definitely will hit that switch and try to flip the switch.

00:09:11.692 --> 00:09:14.455
But will they be able to flip the switch in the playoffs this year?

00:09:14.455 --> 00:09:15.196
What do you think, Chris?

00:09:20.380 --> 00:09:28.606
I truly believe that what we've seen, they're going to flip the switch because every single year I think last year proved to us even when they didn't have the strongest receiving core, they still managed to win a super bowl.

00:09:28.606 --> 00:09:40.951
I truly think that travis kelsey's lack of involvement in the offense is a bit of concern early on in the season because again, one of the greatest tight ends ever and you're not seeing him be as productive as he typically is.

00:09:40.951 --> 00:09:46.530
So hopefully they get that squared away and they can really lock in.

00:09:46.530 --> 00:09:53.429
But honestly, everybody is not worried about the Chiefs until playoff time and we definitely will see how they play.

00:09:53.429 --> 00:09:57.109
But I really think they're just going to lock in and just definitely make a push.

00:09:57.610 --> 00:10:01.448
Yeah, yeah and hey, the fact that they started off two with O is great for them.

00:10:01.448 --> 00:10:13.148
That gives them a little bit of cushion, that gives them some breathing room and I will give them credit for, you know, really taking the preseason seriously enough to try to get off to that good start.

00:10:13.148 --> 00:10:14.880
You know they play their players in the preseason.

00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:21.082
They have a hard training camp, so they do everything possible to try to get off to a good start and then that gives them some breathing room.

00:10:21.082 --> 00:10:25.568
So, and they've gotten off to the start that they need all right, well, great.

00:10:25.568 --> 00:10:26.529
First topic man.

00:10:26.529 --> 00:10:29.354
Let's transition over to the saints.

00:10:29.354 --> 00:10:31.081
Let's go to the saints now.

00:10:31.142 --> 00:10:37.966
Yes, travis is uh, hurting the lords, he's hurt, he's hurting my team because I I went off of my typical.

00:10:37.966 --> 00:10:46.970
I normally go receiver first and then I got caught up, um, because I had a low draft pick this year so I couldn't get a top tier receiver.

00:10:46.970 --> 00:10:59.480
So I had to go with a different strategy and so I actually picked up Kelsey early in one of my leagues and, yeah, that definitely impacted me, but it won't impact me enough to lose to Josh.

00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:12.553
So, josh, you're in the Pick'em Pro League and Josh, you're going to get beat down and and, josh, I tell you what if you somehow get lucky and win, we'll send you a Pick'em Pro shirt, but unfortunately you're going to have to buy it because I'm going to beat you.

00:11:12.553 --> 00:11:14.296
So I just wanted to say that to you, josh.

00:11:14.296 --> 00:11:19.932
All right, now we got a question here, so it's from Chase.

00:11:19.932 --> 00:11:21.302
Thanks for the question.

00:11:21.302 --> 00:11:28.148
So do you guys think this will be the 49ers last year to win a Super Bowl before losing their superhero roster?

00:11:28.148 --> 00:11:28.789
What do you think?

00:11:28.830 --> 00:11:29.130
Diego.

00:11:29.130 --> 00:11:38.292
I think their window closed last year because you know now they've already paid everybody, they overpaid.

00:11:38.292 --> 00:11:40.267
I think they overpaid IUK.

00:11:40.267 --> 00:11:45.414
Iuk is definitely not a $30 million a year receiver and everybody's been holding out at camp and then because of that there's been a lot of injuries.

00:11:45.414 --> 00:11:49.799
I definitely not a $30 million a year receiver and and everybody's been holding out of camp and then because of that there's been a lot of injuries.

00:11:49.799 --> 00:12:00.087
Debo McCaffrey and kill are all going to miss the next game and Trent Williams he just he had had like what A few two days of practice before his game.

00:12:00.087 --> 00:12:02.645
Yup, and Brock Purdy is going to want some money.

00:12:02.866 --> 00:12:04.110
Oh yeah, after this year.

00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:06.381
So he's going to get paid.

00:12:06.381 --> 00:12:08.067
Yeah, I think their window is already closed.

00:12:08.107 --> 00:12:09.885
Yeah, what do you think, chris?

00:12:10.780 --> 00:12:21.067
I believe that this year probably has to be the year that they break through, because Brock Purdy is going to get at least $60 million, and that's seeing the quarterback market.

00:12:21.067 --> 00:12:26.990
I feel weird about saying that because I've seen brock ford play quarterback like listen.

00:12:26.990 --> 00:12:31.421
Him getting 60 million a year shows how broken the quarterback market is.

00:12:31.421 --> 00:12:34.888
Anyway, I truly believe that they're a good team.

00:12:34.888 --> 00:12:44.828
They they've come out struggling this season, though I definitely the vikings game showed a little bit of issues and I don't know.

00:12:44.828 --> 00:12:49.775
I truly believe that the Eagles and the Lions are definitely more.

00:12:49.775 --> 00:12:55.048
They're more complete at the moment and they're not dealing with the injury bug as badly.

00:12:55.048 --> 00:12:57.027
So I don't know.

00:12:57.027 --> 00:13:01.505
I feel like if the Niners get healthy towards the end of the season, maybe they can make a push.

00:13:01.505 --> 00:13:07.201
But this year has to be the year because next year they got to start breaking it up.

00:13:07.744 --> 00:13:09.809
yeah, yeah, I agree with you, chris.

00:13:09.809 --> 00:13:15.485
Uh, this, this if they're going to do it, it would have to be this year, but I I think it's closed on them.

00:13:15.485 --> 00:13:26.152
Um, just because of the even, just the injuries, the, the attrition you know, playing those long Debo, he continues to stay nicked and stay hurt.

00:13:26.152 --> 00:13:28.400
Five years, that, yeah.

00:13:28.400 --> 00:13:33.013
So I don't see them getting over the hump and winning it this year.

00:13:33.013 --> 00:13:41.994
I think the window is closed and then I believe, as we go into next year, it's slammed shut, as they start to have to, you know, pay Brock and do those types of things.

00:13:41.994 --> 00:13:43.767
And, finn Warrior, thanks for the support.

00:13:43.767 --> 00:13:46.884
Make sure you stay with us, my man, you, miami Dolphins.

00:13:46.884 --> 00:13:48.107
See, you're a Miami Dolphin fan.

00:13:48.107 --> 00:13:51.606
You'll definitely want to see our picks this week, because I got a surprise on that.

00:13:51.606 --> 00:13:53.567
So stay with us, all right.

00:13:53.567 --> 00:13:57.620
So let's go to the Saints here, as we have here.

00:13:57.620 --> 00:14:01.625
So the Saints have gotten off to a 2-0, start blowing teams out.

00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:10.500
Although one of those teams was the Panthers, but hey, maybe that actually shows the Panthers aren't that bad because they blew out the Cowboys.

00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:11.745
The exact same way.

00:14:11.745 --> 00:14:14.508
And that was in Dallas.

00:14:14.508 --> 00:14:18.368
Maybe the Panthers are just as good as the Cowboys, who knows?

00:14:20.690 --> 00:14:26.288
Well, the Dallas Cowboys are coming to Carolina this year, I believe, if I have my facts straight on that.

00:14:26.288 --> 00:14:29.428
So hey, maybe that'll be a Super Bowl preview.

00:14:29.428 --> 00:14:30.150
We'll see.

00:14:30.150 --> 00:14:34.230
But hey, man, go ahead and give us your take on the Saints.

00:14:34.230 --> 00:14:36.869
Are they for real or is this a fluke?

00:14:37.541 --> 00:14:38.785
I actually think they're for real.

00:14:38.785 --> 00:14:46.802
This year it was just like a perfect scenario of a bunch of things coming together that I missed before the season.

00:14:46.802 --> 00:14:49.150
Uh, derrick carr, of course he.

00:14:49.150 --> 00:14:50.916
He's coming with the saints.

00:14:50.916 --> 00:14:56.028
He, this is his prove it year, or else they're gonna move on from him if he doesn't play well this year.

00:14:56.028 --> 00:15:12.299
And um and and alvin kamara, you've seen him get off to the hot start and, and I actually saw today that his contract situation he only has two years left in his contract and this, this is one of the two years and he has zero guaranteed money left.

00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.147
Yeah, so he's he's balling out to get that money.

00:15:15.147 --> 00:15:16.350
That's the formula.

00:15:16.429 --> 00:15:24.221
He hasn't been healthy and I don't I can't remember last time alvin camaro was healthy and their receiver, chris olave he's coming up, his rookie deals ending soon, so he's willing to.

00:15:24.221 --> 00:15:24.698
He's willing to get his money.

00:15:24.698 --> 00:15:27.488
And their receiver, chris olave, he's coming up, his rookie deals ending soon, so he's going to, he's going to get his money.

00:15:27.488 --> 00:15:29.510
And their defense is always good.

00:15:29.510 --> 00:15:33.565
Anyway, they're, you know mercedes, but not mercedes anymore.

00:15:33.565 --> 00:15:45.707
Caesar superdome, that's a uh, um wow place to play, so I think I think actually for real this year they're gonna contend in nfc yeah, here's some stats for you guys on why I think the Saints are for real.

00:15:46.500 --> 00:15:48.528
Look, derek Carr is throwing five touchdowns and a pick.

00:15:48.528 --> 00:15:55.089
They're 13 yards per game with 405.3 on offense, and they're seventh in yards allowed 273.

00:15:55.089 --> 00:15:58.730
So they're getting yards on you and they're stopping you.

00:15:58.730 --> 00:16:00.746
So I really think they're for real.

00:16:00.746 --> 00:16:08.027
This year they're plus 62 on the point differential and shout out Clint Kubiak man for basically revitalizing Derek Carr.

00:16:08.027 --> 00:16:12.591
I was talking to my friend who's a huge Saints fan and we were talking about Pete Carbuck.

00:16:12.591 --> 00:16:17.355
He was like look, it's the exact same offense, same staff, same players.

00:16:17.355 --> 00:16:26.446
They just needed a new voice in the room and a new offense to revitalize them.

00:16:26.446 --> 00:16:33.355
So I don't know, as a Panthers fan, having a great team in your division it kind of hurts because you're a team with that offense cooked like this.

00:16:33.355 --> 00:16:40.030
Oh okay, this is new, but I'm definitely excited seeing Kamara's resurgence.

00:16:40.030 --> 00:16:41.706
He's one of my favorite running backs.

00:16:41.706 --> 00:16:47.173
Seeing him get back to his know rushing and receiving ways it's.

00:16:47.173 --> 00:16:47.841
It's crazy.

00:16:48.023 --> 00:16:52.759
So I definitely think they're for real yeah, I, I agree, I think we're all in agreement here.

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:54.849
It's hard to not think they're for real.

00:16:54.849 --> 00:17:04.922
You know, it'd be one thing if they went two and oh, okay, then you could easily call that a fluke, especially the way they've uh, the way their record has been the last few years and not having Sean Payton anymore and all that.

00:17:04.922 --> 00:17:11.067
But the way they beat the Cowboys down in Dallas, that's like okay.

00:17:11.067 --> 00:17:22.174
And the numbers they're putting up again, you rattled a lot of them off already, but averaging 45.5 points a game, that is just absolutely ridiculous.

00:17:22.174 --> 00:17:28.363
I've had seven sacks so far, so that defense is still falling out.

00:17:28.363 --> 00:17:37.434
Derrick carr is doing his thing, and I also love the fact that chris olave he's not even a leading receiver, so he's their number one, but he's, he's like.

00:17:37.434 --> 00:17:41.724
Third, I believe in receiving right, right, yeah, he he's.

00:17:41.724 --> 00:17:46.473
He's um been the most yards, which means they're spreading the ball around, which I love.

00:17:46.473 --> 00:17:55.035
So that all speaks volumes and I believe we have them to win this week in a tough game that we probably would never pick the Saints to win.

00:17:55.035 --> 00:17:59.332
But the way they're starting, yeah, I definitely believe in them.

00:17:59.332 --> 00:18:03.592
So looking forward to seeing how that, how that unfolds, all right.

00:18:03.592 --> 00:18:07.107
So, hey, let's move on to a lot.

00:18:07.127 --> 00:18:08.432
A lot of people talk to cowboys.

00:18:08.432 --> 00:18:13.452
We don't talk it as much as other people, but we do have somebody on this show that speaks fluent cowboy.

00:18:13.452 --> 00:18:17.671
So if you want to get your Dallas Cowboy news, you should get it from Pickham Pros.

00:18:17.671 --> 00:18:21.746
All right, but the Cowboys in true Dallas Cowboy fashion, you know, look great.

00:18:21.746 --> 00:18:24.549
The Cowboys in true Dallas Cowboy fashion, you know, looked great.

00:18:24.549 --> 00:18:27.815
That first week went on the road, wow.

00:18:27.815 --> 00:18:37.392
Then, of course, all the talk started up and you know Michael Parsons' podcast got going again and everything.

00:18:37.392 --> 00:18:39.119
And then they went home and got blown out by the Saints.

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:39.520
Again.

00:18:39.520 --> 00:18:43.692
We believe in the Saints, but that was still an atrocious beatdown.

00:18:43.692 --> 00:18:49.212
So, diego, with the Dallas Cowboys, are they the same old Dallas Cowboys?

00:18:49.212 --> 00:18:51.748
What's going to happen this year with the Cowboys?

00:18:52.579 --> 00:19:04.367
Yeah, I think the Cowboys they're still the same old Cowboys and I was saying this and people were saying this before the season, that the Cowboys they were going to be the same because they didn't really make any off-season additions.

00:19:04.367 --> 00:19:05.131
They got Zeke.

00:19:05.131 --> 00:19:15.384
I mean Zeke looks okay, he looks okay, but everyone else they didn't really change anything else with the roster I think Zeke is.

00:19:15.484 --> 00:19:20.233
I'm sorry I'm going to cut you off, but I know Johnny O from Hole Shots is watching, who took a shot at the Panthers.

00:19:20.233 --> 00:19:25.309
But, johnny man, we apologize for talking so much junk about Zeke.

00:19:25.309 --> 00:19:27.383
We know he's your favorite cowboy ever.

00:19:27.383 --> 00:19:29.768
So we apologize for that, but go ahead yeah, well.

00:19:29.888 --> 00:19:35.788
Anyway, as I said earlier, zeke looked okay and uh, their roster um was stopped.

00:19:35.788 --> 00:19:41.527
They didn't change anything, their roster yeah, and uh, I was wasn't really expecting anything.

00:19:41.527 --> 00:19:54.578
And then they have that one win against the Browns, week one, and everyone's like rah the Cowboys, you, you picked them to win the division, and then they no, I picked the eagles no, and then you're like yeah, I'm changing that well with the cowboys.

00:19:54.659 --> 00:19:56.202
That was just a statement, just.

00:19:56.202 --> 00:20:03.082
You know, in the in the man cave after the game we have footage I might have had a sip of yak or something.

00:20:03.082 --> 00:20:06.806
I I mean that was not on record, that was an off-record statement.

00:20:06.806 --> 00:20:08.768
You're supposed to keep home business at home.

00:20:09.147 --> 00:20:11.029
Okay, that was a home statement, all right.

00:20:11.029 --> 00:20:12.771
No, I didn't say that on the show.

00:20:12.771 --> 00:20:14.794
Yes, you said it on the show, did I?

00:20:14.794 --> 00:20:15.114
Yes?

00:20:15.634 --> 00:20:16.215
I don't remember that.

00:20:16.215 --> 00:20:17.317
You're going to have to show me that.

00:20:17.317 --> 00:20:21.987
You're going to have to show me that I pull that up.

00:20:22.007 --> 00:20:23.410
Then, of course, they get blown out.

00:20:23.410 --> 00:20:26.422
Now it's the same old Cowboys.

00:20:26.422 --> 00:20:28.128
I think they're going to be the same Cowboys.

00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:37.636
Honestly for me I'm not going to lie they struggle versus the Kubiak Shanahan offenses anyway.

00:20:37.636 --> 00:20:40.594
I mean, that's how they got whooped by Green Bay last year.

00:20:40.594 --> 00:20:45.057
And then we see the Saints blow them out basically with that same offensive philosophy.

00:20:45.057 --> 00:20:54.244
And what worries me is just seeing Micah get taken out of the game like that because, like he is a true game wrecker.

00:20:54.244 --> 00:21:02.413
And then the Saints' plan was just, was just hey, we're gonna run stretch and we're just gonna run at the corners and basically say, hey, stop this.

00:21:02.413 --> 00:21:03.234
And then they couldn't.

00:21:03.234 --> 00:21:05.826
So I just I don't know.

00:21:05.826 --> 00:21:11.097
I truly believe that the saints game plan versus the cowboys defense was really good.

00:21:11.965 --> 00:21:19.575
Dallas, their offense leaves a lot to be desired because outside of cd, who's that wide receiver to and deck?

00:21:19.575 --> 00:21:23.671
You know he looks like a superstar one week and then he's inconsistently max.

00:21:23.671 --> 00:21:29.751
So, honestly, I really judge their games on how they play the eagles league during the year.

00:21:29.751 --> 00:21:31.958
That's how their season goes.

00:21:31.958 --> 00:21:34.155
It's a good barometer for success.

00:21:34.155 --> 00:21:37.347
If they beat the eagles, they're probably going to gonna go to the playoffs a little good.

00:21:37.347 --> 00:21:39.592
If they don't, it's gonna be a rough year.

00:21:39.592 --> 00:21:45.788
So I truly believe that they're gonna still be a team that's present in the nfc.

00:21:45.868 --> 00:22:08.071
But as far as winning the division and, you know, looking like they're world beaters, like they did towards the end of last year, I don't I don't think it's um, it's going to be same old cowboys as far as making the playoffs and, you know, having an exit before the nfc championship game.

00:22:08.071 --> 00:22:11.159
So it will be the same as far as that goes.

00:22:11.159 --> 00:22:15.053
Um, you know, are they as bad as they look last week?

00:22:15.053 --> 00:22:20.548
No, but they are too one-dimensional to make it to the NFC Championship game or get to the Super Bowl.

00:22:20.548 --> 00:22:21.550
Like you said.

00:22:21.550 --> 00:22:23.194
It's way too much CD.

00:22:23.194 --> 00:22:27.573
They're not able to spread the ball around, they don't have a running game.

00:22:27.573 --> 00:22:29.778
They have no speed coming out of the backfield.

00:22:29.778 --> 00:22:32.089
Those were things that they needed to address.

00:22:32.089 --> 00:22:37.848
They need to get a solid number two and they need to get some world-class speed coming out of that backfield.

00:22:37.848 --> 00:22:41.295
If they could have addressed those two things, they could have had a shot.

00:22:41.295 --> 00:22:50.167
But without that, when they, when they face the higher end teams, of course they'll beat up on the smaller teams and put up big stats and everyone will get excited.

00:22:50.167 --> 00:22:59.955
But when it comes time to playing the, the uh, the elite teams, that's where they'll struggle and again, that is the definition of same old Cowboys.

00:22:59.955 --> 00:23:04.744
So yeah, I think we agree on that, but let us know in the comments.

00:23:04.825 --> 00:23:06.211
We've got a comment here on IG.

00:23:06.211 --> 00:23:09.515
I'll just read out here from David cook said Dallas is good.

00:23:09.515 --> 00:23:11.471
Every team has weeks.

00:23:11.471 --> 00:23:12.253
They lay eggs.

00:23:12.253 --> 00:23:18.557
Jake Ferguson makes a big difference and the difference will, and the defense will get it together under Zimmer.

00:23:18.557 --> 00:23:20.307
Okay, we will see.

00:23:20.307 --> 00:23:26.406
Now, dc, that's what we call you that's spoken like a true cowboy fan.

00:23:26.406 --> 00:23:29.732
Now, my man, I do have to admit so I don't know.

00:23:29.732 --> 00:23:33.992
You sounded like Chris and Diego when they talk about the Panthers.

00:23:33.992 --> 00:23:36.791
You sounded like that about the Cowboys.

00:23:37.294 --> 00:23:39.951
You told us this episode, man, I know really.

00:23:40.553 --> 00:23:48.176
I've got to hey be happy Dez isn't here, because Dez, oh man, when he's on here with us, it'll be two on two.

00:23:48.176 --> 00:23:51.634
Speaking of Dez, dez is hiding again, man.

00:23:52.045 --> 00:23:53.211
Yeah, I think it's because I won.

00:23:53.211 --> 00:23:54.730
He's scared to face me.

00:23:56.807 --> 00:24:03.152
It happens a couple times every year we have to, we have to call the authorities to find Desmond Clark.

00:24:03.152 --> 00:24:08.557
You know, whenever he, and especially when he loses to you I think that's what he has trouble with.

00:24:08.557 --> 00:24:22.988
You know he can kind of stomach losing to me, losing to an adult, you know we were about the same age and whatnot, but yeah, when he loses to you it seems to really hurt him to his core and we don't, we don't see him for weeks.

00:24:22.988 --> 00:24:25.373
So you know, we apologize to the audience.

00:24:25.373 --> 00:24:26.675
Uh, for that.

00:24:26.675 --> 00:24:30.153
You know he is, you know, pick and pro with us with the show who you got.

00:24:30.153 --> 00:24:34.886
But he, you know, does have some emotional issues when he loses to diego.

00:24:34.886 --> 00:24:37.211
So we do want to just, you know, mention, mention that.

00:24:37.211 --> 00:24:42.990
But we have his picks, he's represented, but he's in hiding, so we'll find him pretty soon.

00:24:43.491 --> 00:24:49.758
All right, now let's move on to the Carolina Panthers and Bryce Young.

00:24:49.758 --> 00:24:51.684
Okay, we've had some comments already.

00:24:51.684 --> 00:24:57.214
I already know we've been chomping at the bit to talk about this before we make our week three picks.

00:24:57.214 --> 00:25:01.953
So Diego, bryce young was pulled.

00:25:01.953 --> 00:25:05.406
His record is, uh, I know he's won two games.

00:25:05.406 --> 00:25:06.710
How many?

00:25:06.710 --> 00:25:07.952
14, 16.

00:25:08.093 --> 00:25:19.538
I don't know six oh my goodness, 16 losses yeah, yeah, yeah yeah his record has been atrocious, but um, there's been a lot of blame going around.

00:25:19.538 --> 00:25:25.076
This is kind of a two-parter of number one will Bryce get another shot?

00:25:25.076 --> 00:25:30.897
And number two, if he gets a shot, will he be successful?

00:25:30.897 --> 00:25:32.529
Will he be a starter in this league?

00:25:32.529 --> 00:25:33.614
Your turn?

00:25:34.465 --> 00:25:37.335
I believe that Bryce Young will get another shot.

00:25:37.335 --> 00:25:41.414
The Panthers didn't give up Caleb Williams.

00:25:41.414 --> 00:25:51.054
Well, the pick that ended up being Caleb Williams, dj Moore, a few other things to get Bryce Young, then throw him away after two years.

00:25:51.054 --> 00:25:53.392
Bryce Young will get another shot.

00:25:53.392 --> 00:25:57.630
This is just a learning moment, so you can learn.

00:25:57.630 --> 00:26:08.337
Andy Dalton's had a lot of experience, had some success and he did play well on the one start that he did play in last year.

00:26:08.337 --> 00:26:12.194
Okay, and I think he's just going to learn.

00:26:12.194 --> 00:26:23.419
He's going to take in everything and have something to prove coming in and maybe, when the offense is, when things are a little better, we'll bring, we'll, we'll bring Bryce young in and he will succeed.

00:26:24.144 --> 00:26:28.051
Okay, now we're going to give it to Chris in a second, but I just have one comment back.

00:26:28.051 --> 00:26:31.335
I don't sense much base in your voice.

00:26:31.335 --> 00:26:37.272
Your chest doesn't seem to be out too much, it seems to be in a little bit.

00:26:37.272 --> 00:26:41.109
Yeah, but I don't, I mean again, you seem kind of melancholy, you seem kind of sad.

00:26:41.109 --> 00:26:58.460
I I just I don't sense, I mean I don't know we haven't led, we haven't like led in the fourth quarter okay in like years okay actually we only games we won they were like last second uh thing, last field goal.

00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:15.490
We haven't like actually like had a true lead in like two years okay so it's pretty sad man there's not much to be excited about well, I I might have to, I may need them to lose one more, so ticket prices can continue to come down did cj stroud head to head.

00:27:15.510 --> 00:27:18.816
That was a very big win and yeah, okay all right.

00:27:19.497 --> 00:27:20.980
Yeah, it was two wins.

00:27:20.980 --> 00:27:23.450
So, chris, what you got, man all right.

00:27:23.630 --> 00:27:27.577
So I feel like, as a panthers fan, we did it in reverse.

00:27:27.577 --> 00:27:29.288
We could have had andy dalton start.

00:27:29.288 --> 00:27:32.999
Let him sit behind bryce, you know, probably sucked a little.

00:27:32.999 --> 00:27:47.131
They got a high draft pick, that would have been fine, but instead we threw Bryce out there with out an offensive line, 37 year old, adam Thielen, miles Sanders, who all of a sudden forgot how to run the football, and a bunch of other stuff went wrong last season.

00:27:47.131 --> 00:27:51.528
So I feel like his confidence got broken and we saw that in the first two games.

00:27:51.528 --> 00:27:59.613
Now I truly believe that he's a great player and he just needs to build that like belief in himself again.

00:27:59.613 --> 00:28:02.145
And you, we've seen what.

00:28:02.165 --> 00:28:08.127
The two quarterbacks who left carolina with baker mayfield and sam darwin, we saw their confidence get shaken.

00:28:08.127 --> 00:28:08.851
When they got there.

00:28:08.851 --> 00:28:12.704
They got in the right situation, right team, right scenarios.

00:28:12.704 --> 00:28:14.212
They look like they're falling.

00:28:14.212 --> 00:28:16.545
I mean, baker mayfield looks like an early mvp candidate.

00:28:16.545 --> 00:28:19.355
Nobody thought we'd be saying that at the beginning of the season.

00:28:19.355 --> 00:28:23.573
The way he's been playing for Tampa is supposed to be falling.

00:28:23.573 --> 00:28:24.729
That's crazy.

00:28:24.729 --> 00:28:26.930
Okay, I'll stand on that.

00:28:28.429 --> 00:28:28.974
Baker looks good.

00:28:29.826 --> 00:28:30.710
Baker looks good.

00:28:30.710 --> 00:28:33.071
I'm like okay, you're showing something.

00:28:34.826 --> 00:28:36.692
Baker wasn't even that good in Cleveland.

00:28:36.692 --> 00:28:39.659
I just think Tampa is a good.

00:28:39.659 --> 00:28:41.487
That's not saying much about the pant.

00:28:41.507 --> 00:28:45.356
That's like what the panthers is saying yeah it was the perfect situation.

00:28:45.457 --> 00:28:46.586
He wasn't even good in cleveland.

00:28:46.607 --> 00:28:56.837
Yeah, well, you know, and see, I, I, I wasn't gonna do this, but you know it's funny because diego gets excited whenever the new quarterback comes in.

00:28:56.837 --> 00:28:58.635
So you know he's excited.

00:28:58.635 --> 00:29:01.332
He was excited about Bryce still holding on.

00:29:01.332 --> 00:29:04.925
He doesn't want to admit, you know, uh, but you know it's looking a little shaky.

00:29:04.925 --> 00:29:10.296
You know, um, when Sam Darnold came, he was super excited, pumped.

00:29:10.296 --> 00:29:12.445
Oh, man, everyone, you know, pump, pump, pump.

00:29:12.806 --> 00:29:17.410
And then, after a couple games, you know uh, then man, he stinks.

00:29:17.410 --> 00:29:18.631
Oh, yada, yada, yada.

00:29:18.631 --> 00:29:19.372
You know.

00:29:19.372 --> 00:29:22.775
And then you know what?

00:29:22.775 --> 00:29:23.996
I don't have it.

00:29:23.996 --> 00:29:25.397
Wait, wait, do I have it?

00:29:25.397 --> 00:29:28.119
Hold on, let me see, I don't think I can show it.

00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:29.582
I'm going to have to show it.

00:29:29.582 --> 00:29:33.909
You know what, diego, you're getting off the hook.

00:29:33.909 --> 00:29:35.990
Wait, wait, wait, hold on, let me see if I have it.

00:29:35.990 --> 00:29:41.518
Darn, I don't think I have it.

00:29:41.518 --> 00:29:45.853
Okay, anyway, I have a clip.

00:29:45.853 --> 00:29:47.108
I'll just explain.

00:29:47.108 --> 00:30:00.195
I'm not going to embarrass him, but I just remember, with the junk you were talking when Baker came to Carolina and it was all bravado, bravado, bravado, and then by the end of the season it was doom and gloom.

00:30:00.684 --> 00:30:03.453
Yeah, but see, I see things in Bryce Young Wish.

00:30:03.513 --> 00:30:04.155
I had that clip.

00:30:05.567 --> 00:30:12.467
See, I gave up on Baker and Sam Darnold after I saw that they weren't doing anything but Bryce.

00:30:12.467 --> 00:30:13.971
I think he's going to be solid.

00:30:14.112 --> 00:30:14.492
Bryce.

00:30:14.492 --> 00:30:16.664
Okay, but have you guys seen?

00:30:16.664 --> 00:30:21.756
Okay, so I want to be be.

00:30:21.756 --> 00:30:22.837
I like the Panthers.

00:30:22.837 --> 00:30:29.828
I've spent thousands of dollars on tickets to go see the Panthers play about, to spend some more money to see them play next week Okay.

00:30:29.828 --> 00:30:35.026
So I want the Panthers to win and I want Bryce to be successful.

00:30:35.026 --> 00:30:38.392
But I'm sorry y'all, I just don.

00:30:38.392 --> 00:30:43.579
I just don't see it because at least with the other guys we saw flashes.

00:30:43.579 --> 00:30:47.432
You know you might see a play here or there and you go.

00:30:47.432 --> 00:30:48.734
Oh, okay, man, all right.

00:30:48.775 --> 00:30:53.894
I see that I've seen plays when they played the Packers that one week do you?

00:30:53.894 --> 00:30:54.336
Remember that.

00:30:56.730 --> 00:30:57.732
That was my blind belief.

00:30:57.732 --> 00:30:58.454
I'm not going to lie.

00:30:58.454 --> 00:30:59.277
I was on a high train.

00:31:01.550 --> 00:31:03.215
And then they were spiking the ball.

00:31:03.215 --> 00:31:07.255
Then the time ran out and they were about to kick the game-winning field goal like 20-yard line.

00:31:07.255 --> 00:31:09.472
That was going to be Bryce's third win.

00:31:09.472 --> 00:31:11.711
And then again CJ and the Texans.

00:31:11.711 --> 00:31:14.905
He balled out and then I forgot what the other win was.

00:31:15.105 --> 00:31:15.666
But did he?

00:31:16.126 --> 00:31:20.169
I mean, we got to, I mean, okay, he actually balled out against Green Bay.

00:31:20.169 --> 00:31:22.611
He was actually really good, he was showing out.

00:31:22.971 --> 00:31:25.913
Chris, did he ball out against Texans, against Green?

00:31:25.932 --> 00:31:26.532
Bay.

00:31:26.532 --> 00:31:28.693
The Packers game is what gave me hope.

00:31:28.693 --> 00:31:33.076
That's what made me be like okay, we get some pieces around him, we're going to look good.

00:31:33.076 --> 00:31:39.280
Now, sometimes the Packers defense is a little shoddy, so I'm like I'm not going to work.

00:31:39.340 --> 00:31:42.782
Packers made it to the divisional round almost the NFC championship.

00:31:43.123 --> 00:31:45.146
Yeah, it can't be that bad.

00:31:45.146 --> 00:31:48.636
And again now my guy Cam Newton, on his show Fourth and One.

00:31:48.636 --> 00:31:52.714
He said he was like y'all.

00:31:52.714 --> 00:31:55.654
He said Bryce will be okay, but you got to give him help.

00:31:55.654 --> 00:31:57.491
You blamed it on the organization and all that.

00:31:57.491 --> 00:32:00.771
But he literally said he pulled his hand out.

00:32:00.771 --> 00:32:07.772
He said all you have to do is give him an offensive line, give him running back, give him a tight end, give him a defense.

00:32:07.772 --> 00:32:09.029
I'm like, well, good God.

00:32:09.029 --> 00:32:16.651
He doesn't need all that he just needs a solid O-line and a better defense.

00:32:17.112 --> 00:32:17.534
That's it.

00:32:18.586 --> 00:32:20.532
He lost five starters on defense.

00:32:20.532 --> 00:32:25.332
So like it's not like, that side of the ball wasn't affected during the offseason.

00:32:25.332 --> 00:32:30.972
It's just that there was so much focus on Bryce and like getting better and being like in the redemption arc.

00:32:30.972 --> 00:32:34.875
Like we lost Yitzir Gross-Machos, brian Burns, jeremy Chen.

00:32:34.875 --> 00:32:38.573
Like we lost Ricky Luver we lost some of our best defenders.

00:32:38.573 --> 00:32:42.913
So like there, jones jeremy chan, like we lost we lost some of our best defenders.

00:32:42.933 --> 00:32:45.020
so like there's a lot work, other things that's like wrong with the panthers?

00:32:45.040 --> 00:32:45.864
that's not just bryce young.

00:32:45.884 --> 00:32:48.692
So okay, all right, let's answer.

00:32:48.692 --> 00:32:52.984
So this is a great question, uh, from chasing great great point, uh, christopher.

00:32:52.984 --> 00:32:59.659
So, uh, diego, do you think if bryce young in CJ Stroud's position, he would have performed better?

00:32:59.659 --> 00:33:01.332
So if he was in Houston, you think?

00:33:01.352 --> 00:33:06.676
so, most definitely, I think the Texans could have, maybe could have won.

00:33:06.676 --> 00:33:14.377
Well, actually, no, I'm not going to go that far they probably would have gone the same, because they ended up playing the Ravens and they probably weren't going to beat the Ravens.

00:33:14.377 --> 00:33:16.593
I think they would have gone the same, the same amount.

00:33:26.265 --> 00:33:26.951
They would have gone the same, the same amount, they both, they would have gone second.

00:33:26.951 --> 00:33:27.752
What do you think, chris, I mean?

00:33:27.675 --> 00:33:29.133
look, you have a great offensive lineman.

00:33:29.056 --> 00:33:29.740
Are we talking like last year or this year?

00:33:29.740 --> 00:33:31.683
Because last year, last year, I really feel like it's a much better situation.

00:33:31.683 --> 00:33:34.917
D'amico Ryan's obviously the better head coach than Frank Reich.

00:33:34.917 --> 00:33:39.134
You have a solid offensive line Nico Collins and Tank Dell.

00:33:39.134 --> 00:33:44.227
Nico Collins is one of the most underrated receivers in the league.

00:33:44.227 --> 00:33:45.290
He's something special.

00:33:45.290 --> 00:33:48.273
Tank Dell was having an amazing rookie year before he got injured.

00:33:48.273 --> 00:33:51.692
Dalton Schultz is a very solid tight end.

00:33:51.884 --> 00:33:56.930
There's a bunch of stuff that Houston has that Carolina we just didn't.

00:33:56.930 --> 00:33:59.039
I think we overrated the coaching staff and we grossly underplayed how good that.

00:33:59.039 --> 00:33:59.152
Like Carolina, we just didn't and like I don't think.

00:33:59.152 --> 00:34:05.251
I think we overrated the coaching staff and we grossly underplayed how good the situation in Houston was.

00:34:05.251 --> 00:34:08.947
We didn't realize that, like they low-key, have a foundation, they have a good.

00:34:08.947 --> 00:34:12.472
They had a good running game the year before CJ Stroud got there.

00:34:12.472 --> 00:34:15.728
Nico Collins performed, but it wasn't at a high level.

00:34:15.728 --> 00:34:16.733
He showed some flashes.

00:34:16.733 --> 00:34:29.351
I truly believe that, like that situation in Houston, everybody grossly underestimated how good of a coach D'Amico Ryans is and how great of a player CJ Stroud was, and it was just a perfect score.

00:34:29.351 --> 00:34:30.449
It was lightning in a bottle.

00:34:31.905 --> 00:34:35.811
Yeah, my only thing, and we're going to move on to week three picks here.

00:34:35.811 --> 00:34:42.809
But you know, I hear you know, the situation in houston was so much better, so much better, so much better.

00:34:42.809 --> 00:34:56.556
But y'all, the situation was so bad in houston that deshaun watson, facing criminal charges, refused to play for the Houston Texans.

00:34:56.556 --> 00:34:59.021
That's how bad it was.

00:35:00.231 --> 00:35:01.398
There was a year in between.

00:35:01.398 --> 00:35:03.311
There was a year in between.

00:35:03.753 --> 00:35:04.054
Okay.

00:35:04.385 --> 00:35:05.652
And then they got better.

00:35:05.652 --> 00:35:08.333
They added Dalton Schultz to your CJ Godwin.

00:35:08.333 --> 00:35:10.472
They drafted Tank.

00:35:10.472 --> 00:35:14.956
They had Nico really show that he was the guy.

00:35:15.115 --> 00:35:15.376
Okay.

00:35:16.626 --> 00:35:18.251
And then they got a great head coach.

00:35:18.572 --> 00:35:28.815
So they had an amazing year in between, so that that that transition they built around in between okay built in between, like they were bad for like a year okay then they were built.

00:35:29.335 --> 00:35:39.914
They built some good stuff, okay I truly believe it's a testament to coaching, more so than anything, it's coaching and an organization in lockstep with each other.

00:35:39.914 --> 00:35:41.692
I feel like what the Panthers.

00:35:41.692 --> 00:35:45.135
Sometimes the coach's decision ain't the same as the owner's decision.

00:35:45.585 --> 00:35:47.130
If you know what I mean.

00:35:47.130 --> 00:35:52.494
Listen, tapper, I just look at him like I don't know what you're doing, man.

00:35:52.494 --> 00:35:53.527
It's like.

00:35:53.527 --> 00:35:56.213
It's like we have.

00:35:56.213 --> 00:36:03.108
We have a good I don't know.

00:36:03.108 --> 00:36:09.106
It feels like we have like a great concept, so we have great beliefs, but on the field and on the on-field performance of the players, it's just not there.

00:36:09.106 --> 00:36:10.590
Nobody feels inspired.

00:36:10.590 --> 00:36:12.193
Yeah, that was kind of.

00:36:12.193 --> 00:36:15.327
It would be different if we were like losing close games.

00:36:15.327 --> 00:36:20.838
We're getting blown out out Like this is not it is bad, Like it is bad.

00:36:21.298 --> 00:36:35.108
They're like you should subjugate your fans too, like your fans should turn on the TV every week as soon as you see the you go to red zone and unfortunately that's what we're all seeing.

00:36:35.108 --> 00:36:36.414
So I just believe it's a lack of stability in the go to run.

00:36:36.414 --> 00:36:38.764
So this cannot be what the industry is going through and unfortunately that's what we're all seeing.

00:36:38.764 --> 00:36:43.965
So I just believe it's a lack of stability in the organization.

00:36:44.168 --> 00:36:52.226
But Bryce isn't necessarily making it better, because of his lack of confidence what they may need and we're going to give this to them.

00:36:52.226 --> 00:36:53.925
So the last time.

00:36:53.925 --> 00:37:02.244
So Pick'em Pros have not been in the building in years I think you said like six years, which sounds crazy to Bank of America Stadium.

00:37:02.244 --> 00:37:10.199
We haven't been there to a game and the last time we were there, they won and they were looking great before.

00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:13.014
Then Cam got hurt and then things kind of went downhill.

00:37:13.014 --> 00:37:20.565
So we will be, we will be back next week and perhaps that'll be the spark that's needed and things will turn around.

00:37:20.565 --> 00:37:26.994
So if the Panthers just start to miraculously start winning, it has nothing to do with the quarterback change.

00:37:26.994 --> 00:37:28.351
It has nothing to do with any of that.

00:37:28.351 --> 00:37:33.871
It's simply because Pick'em Pros showed up and gave them the mojo that they needed.

00:37:33.871 --> 00:37:35.876
So remember that, remember that here.

00:37:36.344 --> 00:37:39.331
All right, let's move on to our week three.

00:37:39.331 --> 00:37:41.538
Week three, picks man.

00:37:41.538 --> 00:37:43.128
We've got a full slate of games.

00:37:43.128 --> 00:37:49.530
We've got 16 games in week three before the buys hit and we had that first game.

00:37:49.530 --> 00:37:57.824
The Jets played the Patriots Thursday night and while that was a blowout, aaron Rodgers seems to look a lot better.

00:37:57.824 --> 00:38:06.947
He was looking all of his age with the torn achilles in that first game and now looks like moving a little better and they're starting to move the ball and whatnot.

00:38:06.947 --> 00:38:15.693
So I don't know if that was um, you know shows how good the jets are becoming, or if that's just you know an indictment on the patriots.

00:38:15.693 --> 00:38:17.485
Again, we still don't know these teams yet.

00:38:17.485 --> 00:38:21.856
So that's the the kind of the beauty of this as we work through the first few weeks.

00:38:21.936 --> 00:38:34.905
But what's your take on that game Thursday night, man, that you uh got correct yeah, well, uh, the Patriots aren't that good and it was a home opener, so you know Aaron Rodgers going to try and show out and uh, the pages they're just.

00:38:34.905 --> 00:38:37.512
That was a good team to have your home opener against.

00:38:37.512 --> 00:38:39.617
They just didn't play that well.

00:38:39.617 --> 00:38:43.853
Aaron Rodgers was able to show out against that bad team.

00:38:44.496 --> 00:38:44.657
Go.

00:38:47.646 --> 00:38:50.552
Honestly, yeah, vintage Aaron Rodgers performance.

00:38:50.552 --> 00:38:57.338
You see him being Mr Cerebro with offense, just controlling everything.

00:38:57.338 --> 00:39:02.047
I wish Gary Wilson had more production.

00:39:02.047 --> 00:39:05.697
He's not on my fantasy team but you know I want gary wilson to start showing out a little bit more.

00:39:05.697 --> 00:39:12.246
But really, raylon allen and bruce hall are my surprises of the jets, because they're the way they're running the ball.

00:39:12.246 --> 00:39:14.893
It's um is is really impressive.

00:39:14.893 --> 00:39:19.425
So I feel like the jets they they could make things interesting.

00:39:19.425 --> 00:39:22.510
You have a wily veteran quarterback.

00:39:22.510 --> 00:39:24.735
You know when he's on he's on.

00:39:24.735 --> 00:39:25.898
I mean, he won two.

00:39:25.898 --> 00:39:28.534
He won two MVPs the past like four years.

00:39:28.534 --> 00:39:40.688
I don't know I posted kill easy, that's the same dude, but it looked like we were getting some shades of those old performances they had back during those back-to-back mvp performances.

00:39:40.768 --> 00:39:47.085
So yeah, yeah, it definitely, definitely looked like they turned the corner.

00:39:47.085 --> 00:39:48.851
I see some comments and some chatter.

00:39:48.851 --> 00:39:56.612
There seems to be a lot of curiosity, um, and slander on my name, which I don't appreciate on my, my pick for thursday.

00:39:56.612 --> 00:39:58.456
Okay, see, see, you guys.

00:39:58.456 --> 00:40:00.346
You guys never want to focus on the positive.

00:40:00.346 --> 00:40:11.898
You just want to focus on the very few games that I happen to get wrong, so that that may have been a game that I got wrong okay, but did you win the picks in the first two weeks?

00:40:11.958 --> 00:40:12.425
did you win?

00:40:12.425 --> 00:40:14.771
Did you win a set or was it me?

00:40:15.632 --> 00:40:20.523
um, I've not won a set, but the thing is so, see, it's slow and steady.

00:40:20.523 --> 00:40:22.186
Slow and steady wins the race.

00:40:22.186 --> 00:40:28.688
It's not a sprint, it's a marathon, it's a long season there's 18 weeks and it's all about winning it at the end.

00:40:28.688 --> 00:40:39.318
Okay, so I finished second last week, all right, I'm just in my position, okay, I'm analyzing, all right, and I will chase you guys down and easily win this at the end.

00:40:39.318 --> 00:40:40.927
So I am not concerned at all.

00:40:40.927 --> 00:40:49.148
So I'm not gonna get uh, emotional or, um, you know, I'm not gonna cry about one loss.

00:40:49.148 --> 00:40:50.050
It's just one loss.

00:40:50.050 --> 00:40:54.148
We all, we all know my record what's your uh?

00:40:54.309 --> 00:40:55.490
take on the game.

00:40:55.490 --> 00:40:56.653
Uh, chris, you're 0-1.

00:41:02.166 --> 00:41:02.626
What's your take?

00:41:02.646 --> 00:41:08.846
on the game, chris, the Just Patriots game, yeah, okay, oh.

00:41:08.846 --> 00:41:09.266
Closing thoughts.

00:41:09.266 --> 00:41:13.978
Honestly, patriots, y'all punt the season.

00:41:13.978 --> 00:41:23.655
Let's see, we got to get Drake all together because we don't drake to get ruined and have his confidence shaken.

00:41:23.655 --> 00:41:26.224
Um, jacoby, you know he tried his best at offensive lines.

00:41:26.224 --> 00:41:33.496
Looking a little shoddy, so it's, it's looking real I honestly think that.

00:41:34.778 --> 00:41:38.489
I really think that the jets this is their time to surprise everybody.

00:41:38.489 --> 00:41:42.876
You, everybody is on the hot seat in some way or fashion.

00:41:42.876 --> 00:41:44.920
There's a bunch of pressure, that's true.

00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:45.847
I'm happy.

00:41:45.847 --> 00:42:05.835
The defense actually like I don't know what to take stock of the Jets' defense, though, because they performed poorly against the 49ers and they made it a pretty close game with the Titans, so it's a little rough, but I definitely, definitely would say the Jets are going to make things interesting towards the end of the season.

00:42:07.405 --> 00:42:08.347
Yeah, yeah, they're.

00:42:08.347 --> 00:42:10.554
They're now going to make a push for sure.

00:42:10.554 --> 00:42:13.050
Again, they can't hang with Buffalo.

00:42:13.050 --> 00:42:21.353
As I've declared, they're the best team in the AFC, but you know, as far as some playing some of these other teams, they'll have a chance, especially at home.

00:42:21.353 --> 00:42:22.916
I think they'll be a good home team.

00:42:22.916 --> 00:42:26.619
New York is a great crowd, so I think they'll definitely perform there.

00:42:26.619 --> 00:42:28.385
All right.

00:42:28.385 --> 00:42:31.757
Well, let's get to our no-brainer game.

00:42:31.757 --> 00:42:33.733
So we've got 13.

00:42:33.733 --> 00:42:37.507
We actually have 12 because I've changed my pick on one of these games.

00:42:37.507 --> 00:42:41.311
All right, so I'm on the island for, I believe, three this week.

00:42:41.311 --> 00:42:53.201
But, diego, man, go ahead and kick us off and let's run through these games that yourself, des and I agree on, and then we'll see if Chris agrees with our take on these.

00:42:53.201 --> 00:42:54.362
So why don't you start us off, man?

00:42:55.304 --> 00:42:55.485
All right.

00:42:55.485 --> 00:43:11.117
So the first no-brainer game is the new york giants traveling to cleveland to play the browns, and we all have the browns, and this is just mainly because the giants are so bad that, you know, I just don't know if they can win a game against a team like that.

00:43:11.177 --> 00:43:13.148
So we got the browns.

00:43:13.148 --> 00:43:14.391
Okay, yeah, we got the browns.

00:43:14.391 --> 00:43:15.554
Man, what do you think on that, chris?

00:43:15.996 --> 00:43:18.228
I agree browns defense is gonna lock in.

00:43:18.228 --> 00:43:27.695
Honestly, it might just be like a low-scoring slugfest with how both of those offenses tend to perform sometimes, but the Browns have the better defense.

00:43:27.695 --> 00:43:29.070
I definitely have the Browns in this game.

00:43:29.565 --> 00:43:29.967
All right.

00:43:29.967 --> 00:43:31.132
So we all agree on that.

00:43:31.132 --> 00:43:32.210
You want to take the Browns.

00:43:32.210 --> 00:43:46.206
They're a six-and-a-half-point favorite home.

00:43:46.206 --> 00:43:46.228
All right.

00:43:46.228 --> 00:43:46.230
What's the next one?

00:43:46.230 --> 00:43:47.233
Diego, all right next no-brainer game.

00:43:47.123 --> 00:43:48.402
We got the bears traveling to india to play the colts and we all have the colts in this one.

00:43:48.402 --> 00:43:48.634
Um, no, we have the.

00:43:48.634 --> 00:43:50.858
Uh, I think we got the bears, the, the, the, the colt.

00:43:50.858 --> 00:43:51.342
The colts are the uh favorite.

00:43:51.342 --> 00:43:58.842
The colts are the favorite by one, yeah, but, but, but, we have the bears, yeah we all have the bears in this one Caleb going on the road.

00:44:00.186 --> 00:44:01.632
He went on the road Sunday night.

00:44:01.632 --> 00:44:08.211
Didn't look that great, so I think he's going to want to get his revenge on the Colts and get a win in Indy.

00:44:09.744 --> 00:44:11.230
Honestly, this game's a toss-up for me.

00:44:11.230 --> 00:44:12.112
Guys, I'm not going to lie.

00:44:12.172 --> 00:44:12.755
It is close.

00:44:15.045 --> 00:44:16.771
Chicago's offensive line scares me, man.

00:44:16.771 --> 00:44:25.070
I don't want another situation with, you know, our team with Caleb Williams having like a great generational prospect and he's having to run for his life.

00:44:25.070 --> 00:44:33.552
So, close to call, I think AR is going to like flip a switch and I think he's going to lock in.

00:44:33.605 --> 00:44:37.596
So I actually have the Colts in this one Okay, okay, we got the Colts, so he's going with the the Colts in this one.

00:44:37.596 --> 00:44:39.157
Okay, okay, we got the Colts, so he's going with the favorite Colts.

00:44:39.177 --> 00:44:43.289
The favorite the Bears were getting all these receivers when really they just needed to get their own line set.

00:44:43.289 --> 00:44:47.389
You know that us, that that's what they had to do and everyone was supposed to.

00:44:47.389 --> 00:44:50.153
Ooh, they have Keenan Allen and DJ and like yeah.

00:44:51.226 --> 00:44:52.967
Keenan Allen's miss.

00:44:53.007 --> 00:44:53.608
Yeah.

00:44:53.768 --> 00:44:55.048
He's hurt, missed two games.

00:44:55.048 --> 00:44:58.771
I stupidly took him in fantasy, so that was my bad on that.

00:44:58.771 --> 00:45:00.012
Yeah, those are your bad.

00:45:00.012 --> 00:45:07.179
Yeah, I normally don't make that mistake, so that was a rarity, so take note of that one, all right.

00:45:07.179 --> 00:45:08.400
Okay, so Chris is.

00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:09.521
So we disagree on that one.

00:45:09.521 --> 00:45:10.621
Love that, all right.

00:45:11.545 --> 00:45:12.065
What's the next one?

00:45:12.065 --> 00:45:18.173
Next no-brainer game is the Texans traveling to Minnesota to play the Vikings, and we all have the Texans in this one.

00:45:18.173 --> 00:45:21.599
This should be pretty well, this isn't easy.

00:45:21.659 --> 00:45:22.681
No, that's a tough one.

00:45:23.085 --> 00:45:24.411
Minnesota's a tough place to play.

00:45:24.411 --> 00:45:35.224
They just beat the 49ers there last week, but I think the Texans they're going to go in there and get a win with all their great weapons around CJ, so yeah.

00:45:36.045 --> 00:45:40.146
Yeah, that's a tough one again that we had a comment on there saying that was the babe.

00:45:40.146 --> 00:45:42.878
I think that is debatable, especially since it's in Minnesota.

00:45:42.878 --> 00:45:44.666
Minnesota is playing well.

00:45:44.666 --> 00:45:47.530
Minnesota is very well coached.

00:45:47.530 --> 00:45:51.538
Uh, I love the um, the coaching that they have there.

00:45:51.538 --> 00:45:53.887
Um, they put it together Well.

00:45:53.887 --> 00:45:55.871
I mean again with, uh, justin Jefferson.

00:45:55.871 --> 00:46:00.971
Uh, now they've got my guy Aaron Jones running back.

00:46:00.971 --> 00:46:01.855
They look really good.

00:46:01.855 --> 00:46:05.452
Houston's strong.

00:46:05.452 --> 00:46:09.371
I love the way Houston is grinding these games out.

00:46:09.371 --> 00:46:11.893
I think this is another game that they grind out.

00:46:11.893 --> 00:46:13.831
It's going to be close, it's going to come down to the wire.

00:46:13.831 --> 00:46:14.889
It can go either way.

00:46:14.889 --> 00:46:15.952
What's your take, chris?

00:46:16.646 --> 00:46:28.268
I believe the key matchup that we're gonna see is the houston texans offense versus brian flores crazy defense, because that's if they were able to stop the 49ers.

00:46:28.268 --> 00:46:29.934
I I really think that they got.

00:46:29.934 --> 00:46:34.387
They got the horses to definitely, definitely make some trouble for the texans.

00:46:34.387 --> 00:46:39.797
Now I do think the texans are gonna win because they do have the better defense.

00:46:39.797 --> 00:46:47.407
The key thing for the texans is k you shut down the bad man, justin jefferson, because that's my favorite receiver in the league.

00:46:47.407 --> 00:46:49.672
He's you know he's gonna make some plays.

00:46:49.931 --> 00:47:06.565
So I think, honestly, what I'm hoping for is a showcase between justin jefferson and stefan diggs yeah almost like even the balanced trade and like nfl history yeah I don't want to see both of them just go to war and just yeah, I want to see that too, I was.

00:47:06.646 --> 00:47:07.907
I was about to bring up dig.

00:47:07.907 --> 00:47:09.331
So yeah, you brought that up.

00:47:09.331 --> 00:47:11.275
Yeah yeah man.

00:47:11.275 --> 00:47:15.751
Yeah, yeah, that that's interesting because you know we think of him with buffalo now.

00:47:15.751 --> 00:47:17.585
But yeah, you know he wants to do his thing.

00:47:17.585 --> 00:47:20.494
That's indoors, it's in turf, it's going to be a track meet.

00:47:20.494 --> 00:47:23.052
Yeah, very, very interesting.

00:47:23.052 --> 00:47:25.753
So that's going to be a must-see game, all right.

00:47:26.333 --> 00:47:26.956
What's the next one?

00:47:26.956 --> 00:47:29.072
Next game is the oh wow.

00:47:29.072 --> 00:47:32.648
Next game is Philadelphia Eagles traveling to New Orleans to play the Saints.

00:47:32.668 --> 00:47:32.989
Yes.

00:47:33.409 --> 00:47:35.572
And we all have the Saints in this one.

00:47:35.572 --> 00:47:37.815
This shouldn't be a no-brainer game.

00:47:37.815 --> 00:47:41.619
We all agree, we all agree on it, but it's not like we just Right.

00:47:41.619 --> 00:47:42.601
You know what I'm saying.

00:47:42.601 --> 00:47:44.972
We all have the Saints in this one.

00:47:44.972 --> 00:47:54.016
I'm confident in the Saints and their home field advantage is going to be loud for the Eagles to work or function there.

00:47:54.016 --> 00:47:57.233
And then I don't know about AJ Brown's health.

00:47:57.755 --> 00:47:57.936
Yeah.

00:48:01.045 --> 00:48:01.586
Yeah, there's that too there.

00:48:01.586 --> 00:48:03.132
And then, uh, I don't know about aj brown's health, yeah, yeah that's big.

00:48:03.132 --> 00:48:08.086
Their defense is definitely struggling and and you know how saints have been scoring the last two games they're gonna definitely take advantage of that.

00:48:08.086 --> 00:48:13.956
Yeah, we, we all got the saints what do you think, chris?

00:48:14.918 --> 00:48:15.800
this is toss up.

00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:19.369
Um, honestly, I'm gonna ride the wave.

00:48:19.369 --> 00:48:21.052
New orleans they're definitely.

00:48:21.052 --> 00:48:22.896
They definitely look serious.

00:48:22.896 --> 00:48:33.989
Um, philly, their inconsistencies on offense is what concerns me, because the moments they look amazing and like they look unguardable without aj brown.

00:48:33.989 --> 00:48:35.996
Who's that other threat outsider?

00:48:35.996 --> 00:48:42.516
Dav Devontae Smith, you know, and the Saints have a really good secondary, so I do think that the Saints pull this one out.

00:48:43.056 --> 00:48:46.233
Yeah, all right, All right, so we all agree on that one.

00:48:46.233 --> 00:48:47.717
What's our next one?

00:48:47.739 --> 00:48:47.838
man.

00:48:47.838 --> 00:48:57.858
All right Next no-brainer is the Broncos traveling to Tampa to play the Bucs, and we all have the Bucs.

00:48:57.858 --> 00:49:04.916
Baker Baker's going to dominate MVP Baker, oh, definitely not hey he's looking good man.

00:49:04.916 --> 00:49:09.835
Not there yet, but yeah, still going with the Bucs.

00:49:09.835 --> 00:49:11.802
They're looking good, so stick with that.

00:49:13.574 --> 00:49:15.119
Yeah, I'll say Tampa as well.

00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:18.317
I do believe that they're going to do their thing, they're going to handle business.

00:49:19.619 --> 00:49:19.960
Yep.

00:49:20.481 --> 00:49:20.963
All right.

00:49:20.963 --> 00:49:25.942
Next no-brainer game is the Packers going to Tennessee to play the Titans.

00:49:25.942 --> 00:49:28.157
We all have the Packers in this one.

00:49:28.157 --> 00:49:37.722
Tennessee, they haven't been looking that great, Will Levis has been looking a little out of sort in the first two games.

00:49:37.722 --> 00:49:45.641
And Green Bay even though they don't have Jordan Love, they were able to get that win against the Colts, which is a solid team.

00:49:45.641 --> 00:49:47.989
So all going with the Packers.

00:49:48.672 --> 00:49:52.942
That Will Levis rookie card that we pulled on Crackin' Packs about a month ago.

00:49:52.942 --> 00:49:53.996
Yeah.

00:49:54.137 --> 00:49:55.429
I think that's losing its value.

00:49:55.429 --> 00:49:57.257
Yeah, the value of that car has gone down.

00:50:01.271 --> 00:50:03.411
Well, Malik Willis revenge game.

00:50:03.411 --> 00:50:05.038
Honestly, I got Green Bay.

00:50:05.038 --> 00:50:06.253
They're going to run the ball.

00:50:06.253 --> 00:50:07.277
They're going to do their thing.

00:50:08.672 --> 00:50:09.836
I forgot he played there.

00:50:11.233 --> 00:50:14.275
All right, oh man, the next one, oh boy All right.

00:50:14.335 --> 00:50:18.539
Next game is the Carolina Panthers traveling to Vegas to play the.

00:50:18.619 --> 00:50:19.001
Raiders.

00:50:19.530 --> 00:50:20.534
And we all have the Raiders.

00:50:22.751 --> 00:50:23.835
You're going against your team.

00:50:24.369 --> 00:50:25.315
It's in Vegas.

00:50:25.315 --> 00:50:26.976
You know it's in Vegas.

00:50:26.976 --> 00:50:41.248
You know the Raiders home and you know Devontae Adams is a great receiver, and Devontae Adams, he's a great receiver going against the awful defense that we have, so he's probably going for at least a buck fifty and two touchdowns.

00:50:41.248 --> 00:50:43.597
So, yeah, I'm going with the Raiders.

00:50:45.213 --> 00:50:46.117
Y'all see the flag.

00:50:46.117 --> 00:50:49.038
Unfortunately, I'm not picking this team, listen.

00:50:52.434 --> 00:50:53.217
I want to be right.

00:50:53.217 --> 00:50:54.996
I mean, this is getting really intense.

00:50:54.996 --> 00:50:56.996
I'm trying to get all the wins I can.

00:50:58.030 --> 00:51:05.041
Listen, the way that JC Horn has been playing and he's our top cover corner and he's been getting cooked by everybody.

00:51:05.041 --> 00:51:07.856
Quentin Johnson put two touchdowns up on him.

00:51:07.856 --> 00:51:10.878
I'm not going to lie, this is one of the best receivers in football.

00:51:10.878 --> 00:51:12.528
It ain't looking good.

00:51:12.528 --> 00:51:18.251
I got the Raiders in a close one because, you know, still a team that's figuring it out.

00:51:18.733 --> 00:51:33.414
but yeah, we'll see davante adams on your fantasy team, then you are definitely winning this one, yeah yeah, man, oh man, and big shout out to the raiders man for that road win in baltimore last week.

00:51:33.414 --> 00:51:36.619
That was, wow, that huge, that was a huge win.

00:51:36.619 --> 00:51:40.554
Devontae really willed them on that.

00:51:40.554 --> 00:51:41.197
Big props to him.

00:51:41.197 --> 00:51:45.998
I want to definitely give him a shout out on that one.

00:51:45.998 --> 00:51:53.744
This next one is not a no-brainer anymore because I've switched my pick, but go ahead.

00:51:54.045 --> 00:51:56.356
Congratulations for that.

00:52:00.938 --> 00:52:02.181
So you want me to take this with this.

00:52:02.181 --> 00:52:03.503
This is technically an island game.

00:52:03.503 --> 00:52:04.331
Yeah, you got it All right.

00:52:04.331 --> 00:52:06.759
So this was technically an island game, so I called it Audible.

00:52:06.759 --> 00:52:15.619
As I was doing my research and preparing for the show the show that millions of people were watching I had to get this one right.

00:52:15.619 --> 00:52:24.695
So I changed my pick and I'm going with the miami dolphins.

00:52:24.695 --> 00:52:29.005
So I know seattle is favorite with this uh miami, uh seattle game, but seattle, I feel, is overrated.

00:52:29.005 --> 00:52:32.253
Okay, seattle, beat um man this last, the patriots which you pick.

00:52:32.293 --> 00:52:34.177
You pick them back, yeah, back.

00:52:34.318 --> 00:52:35.280
Yeah, yeah, I know.

00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:44.936
But see, you know what I typically get on a team and then I'll just kind of stick with it, you know, and that's what happened here.

00:52:44.936 --> 00:52:48.581
So with Seattle, I think they are definitely a little overrated.

00:52:48.581 --> 00:52:51.398
They beat the Patriots what was that?

00:52:51.398 --> 00:52:52.514
That went in overtime, didn't it?

00:52:52.514 --> 00:52:54.949
That went like in overtime.

00:52:54.949 --> 00:53:00.661
They barely beat the Patriots and then they had another win over a team that turned out to not be that good.

00:53:00.661 --> 00:53:04.460
So they're not as good as their record says it is.

00:53:04.460 --> 00:53:08.621
And the Dolphins, I feel, are going to put a great game plan together.

00:53:08.621 --> 00:53:14.092
They still got Tyreek, they still have Waddle, they still have speed in the backfield.

00:53:14.092 --> 00:53:18.195
Most of it's not going to play, but they still have everybody's a track star in the backfield.

00:53:18.195 --> 00:53:23.199
They're going to come out with a lot of desperation and really try to prove people wrong.

00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:28.103
So I feel that this is going to be an upset that folks are just not catching yet.

00:53:28.103 --> 00:53:29.905
So I switched my pick.

00:53:29.905 --> 00:53:32.226
I'm going with the Dolphins on this one.

00:53:32.226 --> 00:53:33.789
What do?

00:53:33.811 --> 00:53:36.873
you think, chris, you almost convinced me, you almost did Listen.

00:53:36.873 --> 00:53:40.518
I'm sorry, the way Geno's been balling.

00:53:40.518 --> 00:53:53.559
You know I believe that, mike, I think it's going to be closer than a lot of people think, but you know you win who's in front of you and, honestly, without Tua, I truly don't think that the Dolphins are going to look the same.

00:53:53.559 --> 00:53:58.391
On offense, I gotattle in this one.

00:53:58.391 --> 00:53:59.655
Sorry, I can't go with the go with audible.

00:53:59.675 --> 00:54:02.681
I'm sorry, man all right, all right, ah, thank you, thank you.

00:54:02.722 --> 00:54:15.059
Thank you, delores, on that, uh, so, uh, you didn't get to give your take on this one yeah, uh, I um, yeah, I'm going with the um, I'm going with the seahawks and uh, yeah, se, seattle's a tough place to play.

00:54:15.059 --> 00:54:17.264
They got the win last week.

00:54:17.264 --> 00:54:23.472
Tyler Thompson, he hasn't played a football game in two years.

00:54:23.472 --> 00:54:28.817
You're going to throw him into that hectic environment in Seattle with all the fans.

00:54:28.817 --> 00:54:30.155
It's just a crazy place to play.

00:54:30.155 --> 00:54:32.094
I don't know how good Miami is.

00:54:32.094 --> 00:54:33.639
I don't think Miami is going to play that good.

00:54:34.510 --> 00:54:36.217
They're going to win this for with Seattle.

00:54:36.217 --> 00:54:37.663
They're going to win this one for Tua.

00:54:37.663 --> 00:54:40.117
They're going to be ready, man.

00:54:40.271 --> 00:54:41.889
They're going to come out and get this one.

00:54:41.889 --> 00:54:43.818
I think they'll give it their effort and play hard.

00:54:45.110 --> 00:54:46.438
I don't know if they'll win.

00:54:46.438 --> 00:54:50.713
All right, the next one Arizona's looking good.

00:54:50.713 --> 00:54:53.074
I don't know if this is a no-brainer, but we happen to agree on it.

00:54:53.074 --> 00:54:53.815
What's the next one, man?

00:54:54.295 --> 00:54:59.981
Yeah, this is the Detroit Lions going to Arizona to play the Cardinals and we all got Detroit on this one.

00:54:59.981 --> 00:55:23.059
I know I have Detroit because I think they're the best team in the NFC and they had the loss last week and I don't think they're going to want to have two losses in a row this week and they're going to play as hard as they can, going to Arizona and make sure they show Arizona who's the real bosses in the NFC, kyler looked great last week.

00:55:23.150 --> 00:55:24.295
Who do we look like, old Kyler?

00:55:24.295 --> 00:55:27.235
What's your take, chris?

00:55:28.190 --> 00:55:30.418
I think it's going to be a lot closer than people think.

00:55:30.418 --> 00:55:33.215
I want to pick Lobson.

00:55:33.215 --> 00:55:35.722
I think I got Arizona surprises for people in Detroit the way Kyler before Marvin Harrison Jr.

00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:40.039
Okay, I want to pick the upset I think I got arizona surprises people and actually troy the way kyle before marvin harrison jr.

00:55:41.840 --> 00:55:43.063
As good as advertised.

00:55:43.063 --> 00:55:46.132
I truly think that this is this might be the upset.

00:55:46.172 --> 00:55:55.137
I got arizona winning this one okay, all right, all right, yeah, not, not mad at that at all, because they look, you look really good, he looked really good fun to watch.

00:55:55.277 --> 00:55:57.119
Yeah, so fun to watch.

00:55:57.179 --> 00:56:07.943
Yeah, kyler running around and connor running like hard oh man, yeah, james connor man, he's like yeah, two touchdowns he, he's become the iron man.

00:56:07.943 --> 00:56:10.309
Yeah, he's so, so steady and consistent.

00:56:10.309 --> 00:56:12.875
So, yeah, big shout to them all.

00:56:12.875 --> 00:56:14.559
Right, uh, what's next one?

00:56:14.818 --> 00:56:18.733
So this next game is the Battle of the Injuries, and this is the San.

00:56:18.733 --> 00:56:23.615
Francisco 49ers traveling to LA to play the Rams and we all have the Niners.

00:56:23.615 --> 00:56:24.934
That's not saying much.

00:56:26.492 --> 00:56:57.860
They are going to be without McCaffrey, Debo and Kittle in this game, Going against the Rams who are playing about Puka Nakua Cooper Cup slightly banged up, Stafford and I think a few other injuries yeah, and this is going to be a home game for the 49ers, because we know how it is in SoFi the 49er fans that live in Southern California you're going to see more red than anything in so far.

00:56:57.860 --> 00:57:00.378
So, yeah, they're going to pack it out and they're going to be pumped up.

00:57:01.610 --> 00:57:03.697
Yeah, I got the Niners in this one.

00:57:03.697 --> 00:57:07.057
Rest in peace to everybody's fantasy team everybody.

00:57:07.057 --> 00:57:20.074
Oh my gosh, I'm a puka so I know this hurts especially, but I really think that San Francisco is going to win big in this one yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely agree with that Summer.

00:57:20.094 --> 00:57:23.230
Can you put that last comment up back on the screen?

00:57:23.230 --> 00:57:24.394
I didn't catch that one.

00:57:24.394 --> 00:57:28.817
It looked like it was said Miami to Seattle second longest road trip in the NFL.

00:57:28.817 --> 00:57:31.672
Oh, okay, okay, great, great, take Michael.

00:57:31.672 --> 00:57:33.331
Yeah, thanks for your comment on that one.

00:57:33.331 --> 00:57:37.418
That is a long trip, for sure, that definitely is a long trip one that is a long trip, for sure.

00:57:37.438 --> 00:57:38.420
That definitely is a long trip.

00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:39.242
It's cross country.

00:57:39.242 --> 00:57:40.748
Uh, yeah, yeah that that is a long trip.

00:57:40.748 --> 00:57:42.293
All right, what's the next one, diego?

00:57:42.635 --> 00:57:42.876
all right.

00:57:42.876 --> 00:57:48.253
Next game is a sunday night football game, the chiefs traveling to atlanta to play the falcons.

00:57:48.253 --> 00:58:02.335
And we all have the chiefs in this one and I just think you know atlanta they're, they're a solid team, but Kansas City, that's a different animal and yeah, I just think they're going to pull it out just because they're the better team.

00:58:03.150 --> 00:58:04.072
Yeah, this one is.

00:58:04.072 --> 00:58:06.139
I think this is Sunday Night Football, right?

00:58:06.139 --> 00:58:09.773
Yes, yeah, well, huh huh, sunday Night Football.

00:58:09.773 --> 00:58:11.018
They're in ATL.

00:58:11.018 --> 00:58:17.059
You know it might be jumping man, but yeah, I still have the chiefs though all right.

00:58:17.119 --> 00:58:18.411
Who's playing in prime time?

00:58:18.411 --> 00:58:19.996
Patrick mahomes.

00:58:19.996 --> 00:58:23.362
Who's the guy playing out playing opposite of him?

00:58:23.362 --> 00:58:24.552
The guy who does it before?

00:58:24.552 --> 00:58:25.634
Well, prime time.

00:58:26.074 --> 00:58:29.943
Oh, I didn't even think about that one monday night was a fluke.

00:58:30.389 --> 00:58:32.958
We, we all know the eagles should have won that game anyway.

00:58:32.958 --> 00:58:42.670
You know, I believe that, yeah, he's gonna win this one and they're gonna roll, they're gonna be all right okay, all right, okay, what's the next one?

00:58:42.690 --> 00:58:43.592
all right, next game.

00:58:43.592 --> 00:58:51.000
Well, there are actually two monday night games, so this is the one of the monday night games jacksonville, traveling to buffalo to play the bills.

00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:52.710
Now, we all have the bills in this one.

00:58:52.710 --> 00:59:00.202
I mean that they're at home and the bills mafia and it's gonna be tough for trevor to play well in that hectic environment.

00:59:00.242 --> 00:59:04.737
So we all got the bills yeah, yeah, we definitely all have the bills in this one.

00:59:04.737 --> 00:59:06.961
Uh, man, man, we, I've got to get.

00:59:06.961 --> 00:59:09.456
We got to get the buffalo and get to a game.

00:59:09.456 --> 00:59:14.998
Got it, although they've got that new stadium that they're building, so I don't know if we wait for that, but got to to get up there and get to a game.

00:59:15.038 --> 00:59:19.391
Got to jump on some tables, I think the old one would be dope, though, because it would be like one of the last years.

00:59:19.411 --> 00:59:19.914
That's true.

00:59:19.914 --> 00:59:21.934
Yeah, that's a good point.

00:59:21.934 --> 00:59:23.996
Yeah, it'd be good to see the old one too.

00:59:23.996 --> 00:59:25.472
What's your take on this one, chris?

00:59:25.994 --> 00:59:31.677
Yeah, I believe the Bills night game.

00:59:38.490 --> 00:59:41.561
It's the Commanders traveling to Cincinnati to play the Bengals.

00:59:41.561 --> 00:59:48.722
Yeah, I got the Bengals winning and they're definitely going to score more than that spread says seven and a half.

00:59:48.722 --> 00:59:50.456
This is going to be a blowout.

00:59:50.456 --> 00:59:53.338
And you know, everyone's talking all about Jay and Daniels.

00:59:53.338 --> 01:00:03.188
Even though he had all those last second points, all those running plays that they were getting, they were losing and then he just gained a bunch of yards last second.

01:00:03.188 --> 01:00:09.090
To me it looked like he played a really good game, but I think the Bengals are going to win, and win big Mm.

01:00:09.090 --> 01:00:09.893
Hmm, how do you?

01:00:09.914 --> 01:00:10.315
get a win?

01:00:10.315 --> 01:00:11.639
Yeah, absolutely.

01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:16.070
And Michael, with the comment, let us know, hey, have you been to Bill's games?

01:00:16.070 --> 01:00:17.855
I know you said epic food, which I know.

01:00:17.855 --> 01:00:19.259
I know that's epic food.

01:00:19.259 --> 01:00:21.934
Oh, my goodness, the wings and just everything.

01:00:21.934 --> 01:00:24.902
But yeah, let us know if you've been up there and if you're in the area.

01:00:24.902 --> 01:00:28.119
Hey, we'll have to hit you up when we come up there and get to Buffalo.

01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:33.797
But OK, so, yeah, yeah, the Bengals, bengals blow them out in this one.

01:00:33.797 --> 01:00:36.842
They they owe into shouldn.

01:00:36.842 --> 01:00:38.646
Yeah, yeah, the Bengals blow them out in this one.

01:00:38.646 --> 01:00:39.688
They 0-2, shouldn't be 0-2.

01:00:39.688 --> 01:00:42.097
They definitely going to have all hands on deck and blow them out in this one.

01:00:42.097 --> 01:00:42.719
What do you think, chris?

01:00:43.309 --> 01:00:45.097
Yeah, bengals are going to play with desperation.

01:00:45.097 --> 01:00:46.715
They have to at this point.

01:00:46.715 --> 01:00:50.619
It's this, or the season slips away.

01:00:50.619 --> 01:00:52.637
So I definitely believe they're going to win this one.

01:00:53.150 --> 01:00:54.856
Yeah for sure.

01:00:54.856 --> 01:00:56.199
Okay, all right.

01:00:56.199 --> 01:01:02.112
Well, those are our no brainers.

01:01:02.112 --> 01:01:04.398
We've got about 10 minutes left here before we have to run, so we've got two island games to go into.

01:01:04.398 --> 01:01:07.487
That's where Diego does and myself disagree.

01:01:07.487 --> 01:01:08.733
One of us are on the island.

01:01:08.733 --> 01:01:17.222
So we've got two island games to discuss and then we'll wrap up with uh talking about chris's uh show and we're gonna talk uh.

01:01:17.222 --> 01:01:23.996
We're gonna switch gears for a couple of minutes and talk music and the uh, the generational uh gap with, uh, some of the music coming out.

01:01:23.996 --> 01:01:25.282
So I can't wait to dive into that.

01:01:25.282 --> 01:01:27.911
But let's hit these island games real quick.

01:01:27.911 --> 01:01:32.516
We've got the chargers uh, versus the steelers uh.

01:01:32.516 --> 01:01:34.079
This should be a tight game.

01:01:34.079 --> 01:01:39.626
I think the spread on this one is the Steelers are favored by three at home.

01:01:39.626 --> 01:01:42.918
Diego, you're on an island by yourself on this one.

01:01:42.918 --> 01:01:43.639
Who'd you pick?

01:01:44.711 --> 01:01:52.579
I picked the Steelers in this game and you know, being at home that's going to be a nice advantage, because that's a tough place to play all the fans and everything.

01:01:52.579 --> 01:02:08.534
And LA Chargers, they're making a long trip, they're on the road, uh, and justin fields feel like he's gonna just feel the starting right yeah, I think yeah, yeah, yeah, so justin fields is gonna play well and it's just gonna be hard for the chargers to win in that tough environment like that.

01:02:08.554 --> 01:02:12.081
So going with steelers yeah, man, I'm going to charges.

01:02:12.081 --> 01:02:14.672
Man, I believe in harbaugh, I believe in the steel iers.

01:02:14.672 --> 01:02:15.695
I mean, the Steelers look solid.

01:02:15.695 --> 01:02:22.284
I think the Steelers, you know, will definitely beat up on any lower tier or mediocre team.

01:02:22.284 --> 01:02:27.021
But the Chargers, I think the Chargers are a mirror image of the Steelers.

01:02:27.021 --> 01:02:30.114
You know they're a team that's going to, you know, hard hat lunch bucket.

01:02:30.114 --> 01:02:31.534
Play good defense, you know going to be fundamentally sound.

01:02:31.534 --> 01:02:34.418
It play good defense, you know going to be fundamentally sound.

01:02:34.418 --> 01:02:41.166
So I don't think that the things that the Steelers do great are not going to cause them to eat this one out.

01:02:41.166 --> 01:02:42.817
I think the Chargers get this one.

01:02:42.817 --> 01:02:46.260
Harbaugh and his return to the NFL starts off 3-0.

01:02:46.260 --> 01:02:47.974
That's my take on that.

01:02:47.974 --> 01:02:49.574
I know Dez also has the Chargers.

01:02:49.574 --> 01:02:50.798
What do you think, chris?

01:02:56.030 --> 01:03:00.197
Yeah, the way the Chargers have been playing, the way they've been running the ball, I definitely got the chargers in this one.

01:03:00.197 --> 01:03:02.784
Uh, don't think the steelers are this.

01:03:02.804 --> 01:03:18.710
They concern me on offense and the chargers have been playing really good team defense these past few weeks, so yeah, yeah, and another thing about the steelers, because we've been there, uh, to a game, uh and all that, and it's not what you think.

01:03:18.710 --> 01:03:29.518
Um, you know they have a huge fan base, it's rabid and all that, but the Steelers fan base is more of the fact that Steeler fans just live everywhere.

01:03:29.518 --> 01:03:34.713
To me, the Steeler fans that are in North Carolina are more passionate than the ones there.

01:03:34.713 --> 01:03:37.237
Like, being there it wasn't.

01:03:37.237 --> 01:03:41.585
It was, it was nice, but it wasn't what you would think of.

01:03:41.829 --> 01:03:46.862
Oh, my goodness, going to a Steeler game in this amazing, you know, home field advantage and all of that.

01:03:46.862 --> 01:03:52.041
Like, I don't think they really have that big of a home field advantage right now, especially with the team that they have.

01:03:52.041 --> 01:04:00.635
So, again, they've got a rabid fan base, but it's more of the global fan base that they have.

01:04:00.635 --> 01:04:03.443
So, um, again, they've got a rabid fan base, but it's more of the global fan base that they have.

01:04:03.443 --> 01:04:05.248
I, I think their road fans are way more wild than the home fans.

01:04:05.268 --> 01:04:14.539
They're actually in pittsburgh, so that was something that really shocked me when we were there and michael made a good point that, um herbert, he he's questionable slash.

01:04:14.539 --> 01:04:20.996
Oh good point Him being out or or hobbled during the game that's going to be big big, big.

01:04:20.996 --> 01:04:21.338
Thing.

01:04:21.518 --> 01:04:23.492
Great, great point, and thanks for your comment too, man.

01:04:23.492 --> 01:04:25.378
Thanks, thanks for supporting us, michael, we appreciate you.

01:04:25.378 --> 01:04:29.498
Um, yeah, so I just wanted to mention that, all right.

01:04:29.498 --> 01:04:32.550
So, hey, let's move on to the final Island game.

01:04:32.550 --> 01:04:33.472
Let's move on to the final island game.

01:04:33.492 --> 01:04:36.833
Oh man, ravens, cowboys, Woo, this should be big.

01:04:36.833 --> 01:04:43.038
It's in a primetime spot, well, four o'clock, and so you know that primetime Ravens are desperate.

01:04:43.038 --> 01:04:50.362
They are desperate going to the Cowboys, but then I feel the Cowboys are also desperate, you know, coming off of that big loss last week.

01:04:50.362 --> 01:04:54.284
If they go one and two, you know that's just going to be the talk of everything.

01:04:54.284 --> 01:04:57.726
So I am on the island with with this one.

01:04:57.726 --> 01:05:00.166
Yes, that's right, the new fans are soft.

01:05:00.166 --> 01:05:07.652
I'm on an island with this one.

01:05:07.672 --> 01:05:08.434
I have the Cowboys winning this game.

01:05:08.434 --> 01:05:11.804
Actually, as you all know, I speak fluent Cowboy, so you can definitely take this one to the bank.

01:05:11.804 --> 01:05:14.215
The Cowboys are going to get this one.

01:05:14.215 --> 01:05:15.840
The Ravens, I know they are desperate.

01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:21.617
They started off 0 and2, but they're starting to concern me the way they lost that game last week.

01:05:21.617 --> 01:05:38.614
Their offense is not clicking the way that it needs to be and I just don't know if they're going to be able to score enough to be able to beat the Cowboys, and with the Cowboys being at home and being desperate, I think that will end up being the difference.

01:05:38.614 --> 01:05:40.235
What's your take on this, diego?

01:05:40.715 --> 01:05:43.739
You know what the Saints did to the Cowboys?

01:05:43.739 --> 01:05:49.344
That's just like bad, that's really that's really bad, and that's something you can't forget about.

01:05:49.344 --> 01:05:53.306
So the Ravens going in there, derek can't see.

01:05:53.949 --> 01:05:54.731
They need a win that is their own to.

01:05:54.731 --> 01:05:55.393
The Ravens are in there.

01:05:55.413 --> 01:05:55.693
Derrick Henry.

01:05:55.693 --> 01:05:56.134
See, they need a win.

01:05:56.134 --> 01:05:56.655
Right, it's a good stat.

01:05:56.655 --> 01:05:57.135
They're 0-2.

01:05:57.135 --> 01:05:57.836
The Ravens are 0-2.

01:05:57.836 --> 01:06:01.123
They've been really saving Derrick Henry mainly for the playoffs later in the season.

01:06:01.123 --> 01:06:05.454
But Derrick Henry is going to make a big difference this game.

01:06:05.454 --> 01:06:14.802
He's going to ball out, run all through the Dallas Cowboys defense and with him, and then Flowers and Lamar, I just think they're all really going to lock in in Dallas and get a win.

01:06:14.842 --> 01:06:15.903
I love those guys, though.

01:06:15.903 --> 01:06:18.856
Yeah, what did you say, chris?

01:06:19.496 --> 01:06:20.338
I got the Ravens.

01:06:20.338 --> 01:06:22.402
You know this is it's desperation time.

01:06:22.402 --> 01:06:24.914
Look, they got it.

01:06:24.914 --> 01:06:27.400
It's the same thing with the Bengals they don't win this one.

01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:31.452
This season slips away and it gets very very difficult.

01:06:31.452 --> 01:06:46.179
You know, I don't know what's the stat with like, oh, with three teams coming and going to the playoffs, but I don't know what the stat on that is, but this is definitely proven weak, like they have to close this game.

01:06:46.179 --> 01:06:49.724
It's going to be a close game, but they have to close it.

01:06:49.724 --> 01:06:50.670
They have to win this one.

01:06:50.909 --> 01:06:53.398
Yeah, and so that just makes for a great clash.

01:06:53.398 --> 01:06:55.132
So I can't wait for this game.

01:06:55.132 --> 01:06:57.673
Definitely got to get the food ready and be ready for this.

01:06:57.673 --> 01:06:58.835
So, summer, great question.

01:06:58.835 --> 01:07:02.798
So for Fantasy, wow, does she play Baker or Lamar?

01:07:02.798 --> 01:07:07.643
So Lamar, he's on the road going against the Cowboys, the Bucs.

01:07:07.643 --> 01:07:10.907
I think the Bucs were a pretty big favorite, so I think they had a favorable matchup.

01:07:10.907 --> 01:07:14.014
Who do the Bucs play?

01:07:14.014 --> 01:07:15.157
Yeah, the Bucs play the Broncos.

01:07:15.157 --> 01:07:18.677
Yeah, woo, but Lamar is definitely your starting guy.

01:07:18.677 --> 01:07:19.440
What do y'all think?

01:07:20.150 --> 01:07:21.072
I'd go with Lamar.

01:07:21.313 --> 01:07:22.255
You'd still go with Lamar yeah.

01:07:22.275 --> 01:07:22.896
I'd go with Lamar.

01:07:23.217 --> 01:07:26.762
Yeah, okay, all right, still go with Lamar I don't know how long this Baker.

01:07:26.762 --> 01:07:27.690
Thing will last.

01:07:36.123 --> 01:07:38.467
So you're still salty man, come on, man, drink some water.

01:07:38.467 --> 01:07:39.916
Man, take a double cup.

01:07:39.916 --> 01:07:41.043
Man, Get you some water.

01:07:41.043 --> 01:07:47.335
Man, all right, oh man, all right.

01:07:47.335 --> 01:07:48.085
Well, hey, those are the topics.

01:07:48.085 --> 01:07:56.400
I know we got about five minutes left, but hey, chris man, we are so excited about what you've got coming up and if you have any questions, go ahead and put those in.

01:07:56.400 --> 01:07:59.269
We'll try to address those before we sign off here in a few minutes.

01:07:59.269 --> 01:08:09.302
But talk to us about your show and let's maybe dive into a question on the state of music with the generation.

01:08:09.322 --> 01:08:15.096
Okay, so I'm coming out with a show starting next month Generational Debates.

01:08:15.096 --> 01:08:16.978
So I'm coming out with a show starting next month Generational Debates.

01:08:16.978 --> 01:08:18.319
Basically talking sports and music.

01:08:18.319 --> 01:08:22.466
Four topics about sports, news of the week, four topics on music.

01:08:22.466 --> 01:08:30.932
I want to basically bridge the gap.

01:08:30.953 --> 01:08:48.275
Younger generation it feels like all of us are arguing and nobody, nobody's like sitting down, like willing to like have open dialogues about different eras and how different things are consumed, how players are even like, how their bodies are treated differently, how like all the medical advancements, all that stuff.

01:08:48.275 --> 01:08:51.490
So I definitely want to like have like a healthy debate, because I'm not.

01:08:51.490 --> 01:08:58.582
I'm gonna be honest, music I defer to people, Y'all music by and large for a minute.

01:08:58.582 --> 01:09:03.277
Way better, way better than what we have currently, but they're still good artists.

01:09:03.277 --> 01:09:04.997
It's just you got to find them on playlists.

01:09:04.997 --> 01:09:08.680
But the athletes I'm sorry I'm not going.

01:09:08.680 --> 01:09:21.082
There's some athletes who I've grown up with and seen who I'm like listen, they are the greatest at their current sport and you know, I don't want it to be a whole oh, lebron, michael, jordan, tom ready homes thing.

01:09:21.082 --> 01:09:31.640
I just want us to have open dialogues and have great debates and combos about these things, because there's something that's very near and dear to my heart I, I love that, I love that concept.

01:09:31.981 --> 01:09:40.418
Uh, that is, uh, yeah great and you know we definitely want to support you your upcoming show and, you know, have you on here as much as possible.

01:09:40.418 --> 01:09:50.600
You know you're one of the few people you know outside of Dez, who's one of the pick and pros, to be on for an entire show, and I see that happening often.

01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:55.840
So we love your takes, we think you're a natural and I'm happy that we're able to meet.

01:09:55.840 --> 01:09:59.780
So it's definitely a pleasure and looking forward to growing this with you.

01:09:59.780 --> 01:10:01.818
So that's a fantastic concept.

01:10:01.818 --> 01:10:13.305
I know we've got a couple of general questions, but do you want to touch on anything either generationally, between athletes or music today?

01:10:14.091 --> 01:10:16.529
I just want to touch on music for this person.

01:10:16.529 --> 01:10:34.274
So for me, I feel like the whole thing right now with finding artists that fit what you guys want because I hear a bunch of older people they will always hit us with oh, there's no real lyrics, all the beats are like this there's no true soul.

01:10:34.274 --> 01:10:38.636
You have to find the artist in playlists or go on music discovery.

01:10:38.636 --> 01:10:46.176
It's a lot more difficult because so much of what's pushed in the mainstream isn't as good or it's like it.

01:10:46.176 --> 01:10:48.740
Really to me, it just gets watered down.

01:10:48.740 --> 01:10:50.671
There's great, soulful artists.

01:10:50.671 --> 01:10:52.078
There's still people who can sing.

01:10:52.418 --> 01:11:01.029
Because I'm one of those people who I'm like listen, I need my r&b singers to sing, not all this cursive stuff like no, like you have to, you gotta have some vocals to you.

01:11:01.029 --> 01:11:03.074
So there's still great artists.

01:11:03.074 --> 01:11:10.161
Unfortunately, the radio doesn't push them or you have to go to concerts or you just find them through other, bigger artists.

01:11:10.161 --> 01:11:12.448
So I definitely want to.

01:11:12.448 --> 01:11:23.145
I want my show to be like a gap, bringing light to those artists who I feel like fulfill that, like that like spirit and true, like testament of like what rap and R&B truly was.

01:11:23.145 --> 01:11:33.083
I love that.

01:11:33.083 --> 01:11:34.286
Yeah, I would love.

01:11:34.627 --> 01:11:55.797
And basically, with the four topics I eventually wanted to grow where I have two, I have me and a co-host, an older artist and an older well, an older artist, younger artists, older athlete, younger athlete, and then like a or a journalist, older and young, and we all just kind of sit around and just debate and like kind of just sit down and talk about it.

01:11:55.938 --> 01:11:58.220
so yeah, yeah, love that.

01:11:58.220 --> 01:12:32.355
So, um, yeah, in terms of the music, and I agree with you, the um radio stations, uh, both satellite and locally, play the same songs over and over and over, and you know it's funny, I I now, and to the point now, you know I'm older I really only hear about newer artists through, like Diego or through, you know, the younger generation, because you're more in tune with you know, um, with that, I rely more on the radio, so I'm just hearing what's fed to me and I'm not hearing.

01:12:32.355 --> 01:12:35.119
You know a lot of the, uh, the, the new artists.

01:12:35.119 --> 01:12:36.162
So how do you?

01:12:36.162 --> 01:12:43.900
I guess my question to you, before we get out, would be how do you go about finding new artists?

01:12:44.430 --> 01:13:03.060
So, weirdly enough, the best resources that I've had is just Instagram, tiktok and then just going on playlists and like going through like music discovery, because the one thing that you can use in your app features is you can find artists who have like a.

01:13:03.060 --> 01:13:10.631
You can go select a station, be like this artist station or like go to your discover station on like apple music or spotify.

01:13:10.631 --> 01:13:18.042
You can definitely find artists that way, but but Instagram and TikTok has definitely helped me find artists who I really like.

01:13:18.101 --> 01:13:19.042
Okay, all right.

01:13:19.042 --> 01:13:20.564
No, that's good, good take.

01:13:20.564 --> 01:13:22.695
That was a great question.

01:13:22.695 --> 01:13:29.302
There's a couple of questions we're going to take, but do you have anything you want to say real quick about just the music game and the generational divide?

01:13:29.302 --> 01:13:33.060
You want to talk about how awful the music is today and how great it was back in my day?

01:13:37.210 --> 01:13:39.796
Yeah, well, it's a little um different because the radio I feel like the radio music isn't as good.

01:13:39.796 --> 01:13:40.818
As you know.

01:13:40.818 --> 01:13:45.515
Music that you can find on your own, yeah, um see, I agree, I agree with that.

01:13:45.515 --> 01:13:54.355
And uh, yeah, I find a lot of the art music that I listen to I just find on my own and not really on the radio or on instagram or you know something like that.

01:13:54.376 --> 01:13:56.998
But yeah, oh yeah.

01:13:56.998 --> 01:14:00.363
No, I really excited to to talk more about this.

01:14:00.363 --> 01:14:02.546
So, um, chris, tell you what.

01:14:02.546 --> 01:14:10.878
What we'll do is we'll, we'll come back next week and, um, we'll cut a segment or two.

01:14:10.878 --> 01:14:12.726
I will talk about the music a little more and spend a little more time on that.

01:14:12.726 --> 01:14:13.430
So, yeah, let's definitely do that.

01:14:13.430 --> 01:14:16.018
I think our crowd would love that.

01:14:16.018 --> 01:14:16.720
Summer.

01:14:16.720 --> 01:14:19.231
I think there were some questions that you were going to pop up.

01:14:19.231 --> 01:14:21.059
I know there's a question about the championship.

01:14:21.059 --> 01:14:27.994
Yes, so Josh, shout out to Josh out of Cleveland man, appreciate you, don't take the butt whooping tomorrow personally on fantasy.

01:14:27.994 --> 01:14:30.376
You know we're going head to head, so don't take that personal.

01:14:30.376 --> 01:14:31.189
It's much love.

01:14:31.189 --> 01:14:32.011
It's much love my man.

01:14:32.011 --> 01:14:32.671
Who Much love.

01:14:32.671 --> 01:14:33.692
It's much love my man.

01:14:33.692 --> 01:14:35.153
Who you guys got winning the title?

01:14:35.153 --> 01:14:45.881
Man, I know Dolores had chimed in, I think she said the Lynx, but man, I don't know who you got Diego, I got the Indiana Fever winning the championship.

01:14:46.240 --> 01:14:54.287
They have been red hot in the second half of the season, Kaitlyn Clark's been losing her mind and I think they're going to carry it all the way to the championship.

01:14:55.289 --> 01:14:57.345
Okay, well, mind, and I think they're gonna carry it all the way to the championship.

01:14:57.345 --> 01:14:58.650
Okay, well, I'm rooting with the mvp.

01:14:58.650 --> 01:15:01.136
I got the aces man, I got the aces.

01:15:01.136 --> 01:15:03.680
I really think asia is gonna ball out.

01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:08.780
They rounded out the season a little bit better than I thought it was.

01:15:08.780 --> 01:15:16.220
It was looking a little rough in the beginning, but I believe they were coming in for him around playoff time and that's you know.

01:15:16.220 --> 01:15:17.783
It's all about the team that gets the hottest.

01:15:17.783 --> 01:15:26.199
So, honestly, but I'm not going to lie the way Kaelin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell play it's going to be real quick.

01:15:27.230 --> 01:15:28.395
They're looking really good.

01:15:28.395 --> 01:15:32.954
I'm going to go with Dolores, I'm going to go with the Minnesota Lynx, I'm going to go with them.

01:15:32.954 --> 01:15:41.497
But it's tight, man, it's going to be a great story, no matter who wins, there's a big storyline all out.

01:15:41.497 --> 01:15:45.711
I'm really excited about the attention that the WNBA is getting.

01:15:45.711 --> 01:15:50.141
It's exciting and, yeah, this is going to be a lot of fun, so I can't wait to watch that.

01:15:50.141 --> 01:15:53.837
All right, well, hey, we've got to get on out of here.

01:15:53.837 --> 01:15:56.483
We've got dinner to get to.

01:15:56.483 --> 01:16:02.082
Hey, chris, christopher, it's been a pleasure, man, you bring a lot to the show.

01:16:02.082 --> 01:16:03.453

Thank you for all the comments.

01:16:06.850 --> 01:16:07.912

01:16:08.555 --> 01:16:09.377
Thank you, summer.

01:16:09.377 --> 01:16:11.162
