Hey everybody. How are you? Thanks

0:07

for watching and or listening. Hi My

0:09

name is Chris and I'm here with

0:11

you Mccormick and Gym and I are

0:13

here to talk about Conference Championship Weekend

0:16

Gym Mccormick you old so and so.

0:19

How. Are you. Good.

0:22

What? I do is I. I take

0:24

off the divisional round to prepare for

0:26

the championship round. It's like it's like

0:28

I had to buy weeks so we

0:30

should get you in the Eagles The

0:32

Eagles both lots of by weeks in

0:35

interspersed into December and January and so

0:37

yeah our our goal is to forget

0:39

last week last week's results were were

0:41

not. Not. Great! I went one

0:43

in three and the games against the

0:45

spread jubilant own for in the games

0:47

against the spread I went i think

0:49

two and one in props and gym

0:51

went to Into and Props to get

0:53

a little better and the prop area.

0:56

but yeah we we we met. Here's

0:58

the thing: gym. I would be willing

1:00

to cut us some slack on our

1:02

divisional round results because I felt like

1:04

honestly, Tampa gets that two point conversion

1:06

that Mike Evans doesn't fight for on

1:08

a fade route he gets an interference

1:10

clearly if he just fights were. Little

1:12

bit and suddenly with sex and we win

1:14

that bet it were in the right side

1:16

There it's fine. The Bills Chiefs there was

1:18

no right side. It was a dumb big

1:20

fun stupid golden retriever of a game and

1:22

will and like the kicker mrs it and

1:24

then you know than Josh Allen doesn't make

1:26

the throw in. I still feel like that

1:28

was fine. We both said the time we

1:31

didn't love it either side. I would be

1:33

willing to give ourselves all sorts of excuses

1:35

except for the two of us got older

1:37

she who has to week and said everything

1:39

else is totally influx Put the one thing

1:41

you can count on. Is for sure the

1:43

Niners are going to cover against the Packers

1:45

and that was never the right side the

1:47

entire day. Moved. Know

1:49

now that was that was. There.

1:53

Was a come up it's it was the come up and it

1:55

was the wrong with that with the wrong come up and though

1:57

it was the wrong one is was to be Green Bay Com.

2:00

I mean in the end they got it, but not the

2:02

way we expected. Yeah. I

2:04

mean, we're going to talk about the NFC game second, but

2:07

just the lingering stink that comes

2:09

from that game, I

2:11

have to assume anybody who is thinking

2:14

about the NFC championship game has to

2:16

have the lingering stink of the 49er

2:18

offensive performance in their nostrils. Yeah,

2:21

and the thing is, is that there's a part of me

2:23

that, like, I watched that game again,

2:28

which was difficult for me because once

2:30

I abandoned my betting predictions, I

2:33

went into full anti-49ers mode. And

2:38

you knew the outcome. Greg Olson was just refusing

2:40

to accept what was happening in front of him.

2:42

He was like, he's playing incredibly. I was like,

2:45

in the circumstances. In the circumstances of his own

2:47

creation. But yeah, there were just so many plays

2:49

that should have, like, the savage play, right? There

2:56

were just so many plays that should

2:58

have turned into costly mistakes.

3:00

But in the

3:03

end, I had no idea what was going

3:05

to happen, I guess, because I was like,

3:07

there's no way they come out in 12 personnel. There's

3:09

no way they're able to run on them. And the

3:11

first drive, Aaron Choate is getting what he wants. And

3:14

so I was like, maybe I'm wrong. But

3:17

again, it really didn't have to do with the packers'

3:19

offense is nice. It had nothing to do with that,

3:21

really. Our assumption was that... Also,

3:24

they would just forget Christian McCaffrey existed for every

3:26

once in a while. So long! And the game

3:28

that strategy coming out was not to use McCaffrey

3:30

running the ball. So weird. Especially

3:33

when Devo goes down, I'm like, okay, okay. And they're

3:35

like, no, Jawaan Jennings reversed. Okay,

3:37

it's like, what is this? Michael Hardman

3:39

disease? Come on. Weird

3:41

bits. All right, so I feel like I set us

3:44

off on the wrong path, because we're not going to

3:46

talk about that game first. We'll get

3:48

to it. We'll get to it, folks. We

3:50

promise. But let me congratulate the viewer slash

3:52

listener last week who was better at this

3:55

than us. Night fiend! Congratulations.

3:58

Pick the packers. Packers

4:00

money line looked pretty good for a while in

4:02

that game to be honest and again if you didn't

4:04

have a licker it up Kicker, I don't think

4:06

he's liquored up, but kind of kicked

4:08

like he might be better if he had a couple drinks That's

4:11

the Vander jet right? That's the Vander

4:13

jet. Yeah reference But yeah, this guy

4:15

probably wasn't born when Vander Joe was

4:17

kicking because we're old And

4:20

yeah, the which Carlson is it

4:22

for Green Bay doesn't matter doesn't matter which

4:24

Carlson. Yeah under I mean and yeah by

4:27

the time our bets were done. I was

4:29

like yeah, go ahead Green Bay. Just win.

4:31

It's fine I don't care so

4:34

alright So night fiend first

4:36

of all, congratulations. Let's thank draft Kings for sponsoring. I'll talk

4:38

about them in a second And and you

4:40

know if you a Marvel character by the way nineteen

4:46

If draft Kings if you don't have draft Kings

4:48

count It'd be a nice little thing to

4:50

do here towards the end just to say thanks for them

4:52

making this show possible all the way through but

4:55

we're gonna start talking about the AFC and You

5:02

know in retrospect based on kind of how

5:04

I felt on Saturday watching the two games

5:06

I'm now surprised at myself that I didn't

5:08

have Baltimore as my best bet and I

5:11

wouldn't probably have been Crowing a

5:13

bit like this for my one correct

5:15

point spread bet from the entire weekend

5:17

at halftime when it was tied But

5:20

I even then felt like oh that you know

5:22

cuz it was a punt return, right? I just

5:24

never felt like the Texans offense Was

5:27

really gonna do anything and I like CJ Stroud,

5:30

but in the end they really they really just

5:32

didn't and so now It's

5:35

obvious what the test is here for Baltimore

5:37

like can't see defense is good Lamar

5:40

Jackson has some issues like there's there's stuff that's

5:42

gonna happen on that side of the ball But

5:45

what's what are we all really paying

5:47

to see in this AFC championship game?

5:49

It's Patrick Mahomes against that defense and

5:52

That defense comes out of that game Pretty

5:55

much smelling like a rose wouldn't you agree? Yeah,

5:59

yeah You're saying the bottom or defense? Like,

6:01

when it came out of the game, right? Yeah. Yeah,

6:03

yeah, exactly. I mean, I suppose I just have, like,

6:06

a goldfish memory about how, like,

6:08

dynamic they looked. And again, I guess it

6:10

was difficult to tell because it was that

6:12

Miami team. But just, like, the varied looks

6:14

they gave and, or actually even

6:16

going, like, even prior to that,

6:18

like, I guess it was

6:20

the MVP debate against the 49ers, that

6:22

game as well, like, now that doesn't look

6:24

maybe quite as dynamic because Purdy maybe on

6:27

that swoon again, or meaning it seems more

6:29

of a trend that he's had a couple

6:31

of bad games. But my point is really

6:33

that Baltimore has a real argument

6:35

to be what I thought Cleveland was on defense.

6:38

Like, the team that actually imposes his will on

6:41

every level. And yeah, like, I

6:43

just think, saying, like, I don't know

6:45

so much about football, but I can try to predict what's going

6:47

to happen based on the formation of stuff. And clearly

6:50

I think Patrick Mahomes reads defense just a little bit better

6:52

than me. But but

6:55

they do a lot of deception is what I'm

6:57

trying to say, like, like in this league of

6:59

single high, in this league of of kind

7:01

of not vanilla defenses, but that like a lot

7:03

of common trends, they're bucking that. Also, I think

7:05

it helps that they have like two superstar safeties.

7:07

But my main point is just that they are

7:10

going to be really fun against this team. It's

7:12

like, as if we've talked

7:14

about it, but that builds defense as well

7:16

as they've tried to keep it together. Like

7:18

they've been in, like, they've been in like

7:20

demise all year, erosion, rather not demise. They've

7:22

lost so many players that I think it's

7:24

really fun because we're seeing a full strength

7:26

defense against Patrick Mahomes. That's I

7:29

just think that is the funnest challenge of this game and reading

7:31

this game. Yeah. Yeah. Like, and

7:33

believe me, my framing the

7:36

topic that way doesn't mean that therefore

7:38

Mahomes can't do it. Right. I mean,

7:40

he very much clearly can. He is

7:42

very clearly the best quarterback left. Very

7:45

clearly the best quarterback usually wins the Super Bowl.

7:47

Like there's a great case to be made that

7:49

Mahomes will rise to this challenge. The

7:52

challenge, I mean, Kansas

7:55

City came out against Buffalo in three

7:58

tight end formations, right? They basically. said go

8:00

ahead AJ Klein you have to use AJ Klein okay guess

8:02

what we're gonna do you know and in

8:04

the end they they especially in

8:07

the first half the Buffalo's defense just lost

8:09

track of Travis Kelce the touchdown he's blown

8:11

coverage but he's completely wide open and in

8:14

watching it live my thought is not like gosh

8:16

those two guys sure were confused my thought was

8:19

why are you not why is it one guy

8:21

why was there redundancy why wasn't there a second

8:23

guy on Travis Kelce he's the guy through the

8:25

air who's going to beat you of

8:28

all like with Kyle Hamilton Hamilton on Baltimore's

8:30

defense of all the scenarios I imagine happening

8:32

that's not one of them exactly

8:35

yeah they have the personnel to match it you

8:38

know that's what's fascinating is

8:40

that you wouldn't expect those gaps to occur and

8:42

you'd like there is a personnel thing at some

8:44

point you can scheme everything you want but AJ

8:47

Klein is the Joe Flacco of Joe of linebackers

8:49

you'd like this guy just brought off all things

8:51

brought out of his couch I

8:54

think it was in his couch bring

8:56

him out bring him out of the couch

8:58

yeah where's AJ been and he was in

9:01

that folding couch just for screaming but the

9:03

real point is is that this team has

9:05

all of those things they also have like

9:07

good coverage linebackers like I mean Rokhan isn't

9:09

the best linebacker and Patrick Queen Shirley has

9:11

his issues but it's not speed is one

9:13

of them right yeah which direction to go

9:15

to apply that speed can be an issue

9:17

but what I'm saying is I just I'm

9:19

really fascinated it's also you know Marcus

9:21

Williams was 72 million dollar

9:23

safety like he was Jesse Bates

9:26

the year before in the sense of like

9:28

the game-changing safety and I don't regret at

9:30

all that the Eagles took Jordan Davis over

9:32

Kyle Hamilton I never think about that but

9:36

this is what the living really love it the most is that

9:38

there's an ace card and an ace card like it's it's it's

9:41

it's that terrible percentage calculator on a poker you

9:43

know on poker TV like meaning they're gonna have

9:45

to go to Kelsey and they're gonna have to

9:47

play Hamilton so it's a best on best thing

9:49

it's not like a there's

9:53

just not any obvious fix and that's what I'm

9:55

that's why this is one of the tougher games

9:57

for me to read and I Love we'll talk about

9:59

it but I love. The line because it's. Did.

10:02

It, it's it's they got. This one is

10:04

essentially tricky. And

10:06

we will say Marlon Humphrey

10:08

practicing info should be back.

10:10

Best corner that Baltimore has

10:12

and. I mean to

10:14

some degree do need a corner against the like.

10:17

What what matters is the middle. the feeling institutes

10:19

of their if you can get the chiefs throwing

10:21

outside the numbers as great as mom says you're

10:23

gonna win because those receivers are bad when and

10:26

the Mbs me to catch the let's be honest

10:28

he Mbs that he made that one could dump

10:30

your kids who was a big way. It was

10:32

big play like the it's context matters right? like

10:34

you know. I will go

10:37

agree that but I will also say you know you,

10:39

you aren't going to travel more moral humphrey but you

10:41

are going to play a lot of man cause that's

10:43

what Baltimore does and you're going to try to muddy

10:45

the middle of fields and your i don't know like.

10:48

You've. Said this before and I've kind of

10:50

learned from you, the Ravens really aren't the

10:52

Rams anymore as far as wink Martin Del,

10:54

as far as blessing like they're going to

10:57

stare, going to try to model looks with

10:59

seven Guys and coverage and you're not gonna

11:01

like confused mom's anymore than you're going to

11:03

confuse Tom Brady. but you can. Give.

11:06

Your yeah, you can. Maybe. Give your

11:08

pass rush an extra second or two to

11:10

get there. There's potentially I think we're pretty

11:12

sure there's no joke you're tuning in this

11:14

game now. The best guard for said he

11:17

likes. There's a lot of stuff here. Again,

11:19

I've only focused on one side the ball. There's a lot

11:21

of stuff here that makes me think at least. The.

11:24

Relative ease with which more homes. Was able

11:26

to move last week only running like fewer

11:28

than fifty place on offense. Buffalo have the

11:31

bottle nights but with of mom's made no

11:33

mistakes just never made any mistakes that. To.

11:36

Meet at as it to me things are building up

11:38

where it's not going to be as easy for moms.

11:41

Yeah that's true and then also what you said

11:43

like the it doesn't have the winters in space

11:46

that he had prior to like years ago I

11:48

was has no. There's. No Diaries Hill

11:50

I think less access, but yet not

11:52

just like that. Like you're right, they're

11:54

relying on his side stepping is creating

11:57

time, amassing even cover forever under sake

11:59

of anything. can win in man in a

12:01

different situation, it's this Baltimore roster. So it's

12:03

just, it's strength on strength, which we don't really

12:05

get that often in this NFL. You

12:08

know, so. So in the other direction. That's true.

12:11

It just sounded good. It sounds cool. In the other,

12:13

okay. So in the other direction, it's important and

12:15

it will be fun. And Lamar Jackson is a stud. It

12:18

isn't to me the marquee part of the game,

12:20

but it's like going to be obviously super, super

12:22

important. You

12:25

know, you know Spaggs, you know, the defensive coordinator in

12:27

Kansas City and you know, he usually

12:29

has a really good plan. What's

12:31

the plan for Lamar Jackson? Nobody's

12:34

going to say you're not going to, you

12:36

know, Lamar Jackson is going to account

12:38

for 250 offensive yards, no matter

12:40

what you do. It's just, that's the fact. Counting

12:45

stats don't really capture. I mean,

12:47

Josh Allen got stopped when he

12:49

needed to get stopped. Spaggs rose to the occasion.

12:52

What's the, what's, what will you do different against

12:54

Lamar than you did against Josh Allen if you're,

12:56

if you're Kansas City? That's

12:59

a great question. Pray

13:01

a little bit? I don't know. No,

13:03

it's like, honestly, it's, I think it's that they

13:05

can, they can blitz with corners like maybe not

13:07

with corners, but they can blitz and still retain

13:09

some coverage between, you know, McBride

13:12

and why am I implementing this? He's

13:15

been there forever. Great,

13:17

great cornerback. Either way, on the,

13:19

on the, You mean McDuffy, right? The slot guy?

13:22

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So

13:25

the guy that they drafted last year. Yeah. And

13:27

they had the ability to send the pressure and still retain some sense of

13:29

coverage, which the bills didn't

13:31

like when the bills, they didn't

13:33

list that much. But when they did, they

13:36

were going to eat it. Like they were going to

13:38

get a big gash. It was good. Something

13:41

was going to be left available. They were going to lose the

13:43

numbers game. I don't think you're going to lose the numbers game

13:45

as much with this, with this bill, with this, with this chief's

13:47

defense. Did I say that right? No, I didn't. I mean, here's

13:49

the thing. I don't care about the bills.

13:53

I'm talking about the Kansas city, the game plan

13:55

against the bills as opposed to the Kansas

13:58

state defensive game plan against Baltimore. And

14:00

what I'll say is there's probably a

14:02

lot of overlap. There probably is. But

14:05

I actually think you were, I'll say

14:07

meandering, through the part of this that I

14:10

think is right, which is that Kansas City kind of brought

14:12

some heat. Like, kind

14:14

of confused, like from weird places,

14:17

McDuffie Kid, who's awfully good,

14:19

like he's, isn't he the first team

14:22

All-Pro slot corner? Like, he came

14:26

probably high single digit times, and that's not

14:28

expected. That's not always what he's done all

14:30

year. It's

14:33

just, I wonder to some degree if now Baltimore's

14:35

seen it. Yeah,

14:37

I mean, I think it helps that they also,

14:39

they can create some interior pressure. Ed Oliver was

14:42

terrible last week. Like, meaning winning his reps, and

14:45

with regards to the guard being out, like they're an interior offensive

14:47

line. All right, but I'm on the other side of the ball

14:49

though. I'm on- No, no, no,

14:51

but I'm babbling here, I'm wrong. I'm

14:55

actually thinking about Chris Jones. I don't know why I brought up,

14:57

I keep doing this. Why did I talk about the Kansas City

14:59

offensive line? I'm talking about the, like, so what I'm really saying

15:02

is that Chris Jones can win in places

15:04

that the, that the Bills, the Bills, keep

15:06

seeing the Bills, that Chris Jones

15:08

can win against the Ravens in ways that

15:10

other teams can't, and I think that's gonna

15:12

be the key, because they're terrible against zone

15:15

Reed. Like, they did run like the Chiefs,

15:17

so like 28th in EPA against like zone

15:19

quarterback, like zone Reed quarterback plays. So

15:22

that does have something to say about, like Allen

15:24

did have the running game, it's just that the

15:26

off, the passing was, like

15:29

four point whatever yards per attempt, it

15:31

was gross. They made up for it with

15:33

his running. So I think that's

15:35

where the key is. The key is that he's gonna run,

15:37

Lamar's gonna be able to run. I guess the question is,

15:39

and maybe it's best to use, like how do you stop

15:42

Lamar when he buys that time? Like, and

15:44

then does any throws. Like, and also it's

15:46

not the best receiving court he's, special receiving

15:48

court he's probably ever had though in terms

15:50

of the collective, so, of weapons, because Mark

15:52

Andrews, are we assuming Mark Andrews is back?

15:54

I think so, yeah, I think

15:56

so. I think he's practicing in full all

15:58

week. Okay, well that's

16:00

big too. That is big too. You know

16:03

if he's fully himself and if he's fully

16:05

you know cardiovascular, you know all that stuff

16:07

it isn't 100% to just assume you're throwing

16:11

down a full full-strength Mark

16:13

Andrews into the team but it matters for sure it matters.

16:18

Yeah, I think you

16:21

can run on Kansas. I think everybody's been running on Kansas City.

16:23

James Cook ran on Kansas City like and

16:27

certainly Josh Allen you're right ran on Kansas City. I

16:30

think you're gonna have a hard time throwing on him. I

16:33

think if you're Baltimore you're maybe

16:35

you might be right maybe Andrews completely changes

16:37

this equation in the same way that Kelsey

16:40

you know to a lesser extent Andrews

16:42

probably but so maybe I'm wrong

16:44

about this but I'm you

16:47

know Zae Flowers hasn't really

16:50

been consistent and I don't know

16:52

what's wrong with Odebekem but he catches one

16:54

pass a game and it's essentially like a

16:56

three-man weave at the non-Zae Flowers receiving positions

16:59

and I don't trust Rashad Bateman. I don't trust

17:01

freaking Nelson Aguilar you know so

17:05

you know I'll tell you if Kansas City finds

17:07

a way to score early and and

17:09

the run game is less important for Baltimore

17:11

I think that's big trouble for Baltimore. Yeah,

17:15

because then what's their outlet like what what do they

17:17

do? They gotta throw. Yeah, they gotta throw

17:19

and that's not great for them. Right. Yes,

17:22

there are like their styles make fights we've talked

17:25

about. Yeah, there's a lot of ways that Spaggs

17:27

can do this and then they're not the same

17:29

player like but there are there are

17:31

some things to learn about how

17:33

they cap like Josh Allen that's

17:35

interesting. And like if you're

17:37

gonna be if you know the Baltimore didn't do

17:39

much wrong in the game against Houston but if

17:41

you're gonna have special teams like that and give

17:43

up just a random punt return for a touchdown

17:46

like yeah that's a

17:48

I think against Patrick Mahomes that's a total game changer

17:51

you know that's it didn't turn out to be against

17:53

the Texans because you were just a lot better than

17:55

them but you're not a lot better than Kansas City

17:57

if you are better at all. I

18:00

don't know. I'll say like,

18:03

Willy Gay left that game

18:05

with a neck injury. He's a really good player. I

18:07

think we underestimated how we talked kind of a little

18:10

bit of smack about him to start the year, I

18:12

think. He's pretty

18:14

damn good player. And Mike Edwards, who I

18:16

think is fine at safety, but he was

18:18

out of the concussion. As of our recording

18:20

this, I don't know the fate of either

18:22

one of those guys. I think Tuni's going to be

18:25

out. But I don't

18:27

think, you know, Edwards, I'm

18:29

sure he's a nice man. That doesn't bother me as much.

18:31

But if Willy Gay were out, that would legitimately be a

18:33

problem. Yeah, particularly, like

18:35

we're not even just talking about Andrews,

18:38

but even like the way they use likely, like it's

18:40

something they do. And there's something to be said about

18:44

the time that he buys, that Lamar buys, it's

18:46

going to put those guys in having

18:49

to cover the space. And one of Willy Gay's best thing is he's

18:51

one of the best side to side guys. Now

18:54

I think he's

18:56

queen with a smarter

18:59

queen. Queen with GPS, Patrick Queen with

19:03

GPS. Or GPA. Yeah.

19:06

So yeah, I mean, as of our recordings,

19:08

we just don't know the line. As of

19:10

our recording, this is three and a half.

19:12

Ken's Baltimore three and a half. Now, I

19:15

think they're rightly so is going to be some

19:17

people looking at this game and saying, wait, wait,

19:19

wait, you're giving Patrick Mahomes points.

19:21

I'm going to take them again and laugh at you.

19:24

And I have no rebuttal for

19:26

that. I

19:28

have no rebuttal. I mean, to be honest, we

19:31

both took Buffalo last week. We both said, yeah,

19:33

but there's an easy way this gets ruined. And

19:35

it's because Mahomes is awesome. And he was

19:38

absolutely awesome. I

19:40

think this is a harder challenge for him. But so

19:42

what? He'll just rise to a harder challenge. Of course,

19:44

I understand why anybody wants to take Kansas City here.

19:46

And you may. I completely

19:49

understand why just because it's

19:51

the Brady theory like, oh, you're gonna have

19:53

Tom Brady points. Rock on, you know, and

19:55

frankly, Lamar as a favorite of

19:57

more than like a field goal stinks isn't that doesn't cover

19:59

like it. isn't good. So like if you if

20:01

people just want to take that tack and kind

20:03

of disregard the last 15 minutes of

20:05

us talking about this game, I completely understand.

20:09

That's where I'm going. I completely

20:11

understand. I just talked up

20:13

Baltimore and how dynamic they are. But the reason

20:15

I prepped this like how they got

20:17

the line perfectly was, you know, I had it at

20:20

two and a half. And that's obviously it is actually

20:22

fairly big gap when when the games are this good,

20:24

the teams are this good, right? It's not a normal.

20:26

So it's a point. But I

20:29

just couldn't feel myself giving more than that.

20:31

Like I could understand three. I still

20:33

want to take the Chiefs given how

20:35

I choose

20:37

my games. But I'm

20:39

taking the Chiefs because it's the

20:42

defense. Like Mahomes is amazing.

20:44

He's already the factor. He's the reason. I don't know why somebody

20:46

said he. He they are the

20:48

differentiating factor between the gap. Like they're so good

20:50

that I think what I'm trying to say is

20:52

there's a way that Mahomes can

20:54

just have to make a few of his big plays

20:56

as opposed to carrying the whole load, like making this

20:59

particular place. I just think that defense

21:01

and spags particularly is having a great year. And

21:04

for all the for all the the watered how

21:06

like watered down, they made their skill group. A

21:09

lot of that resource went towards defense and like

21:12

if Willie Gay is active, but we know the

21:14

cornerbacks are going to be active. Sneed is who

21:16

I meant. Sorry. But like I just came

21:18

to my brain. But like they have

21:20

good corners and they have

21:23

a better cornerback group than these guys have

21:25

receivers. So if it comes down, it comes

21:27

up to Lamar. It comes down to Lamar

21:29

being what like going super Lamar, which is

21:31

completely possible. But I'm going to guess the

21:33

other guy goes super regularly. Like

21:35

meaning the 99 percentile dude, you know, like last

21:37

week, you know, I saw some counters to Alan's

21:40

game, which wasn't a great game. But his his

21:42

the EPA he created, even if like

21:44

EPA is not important, it's it will just be a measure.

21:47

Like, meaning it is important, but it's not a single factor.

21:49

But the factor is that

21:51

he like a 92nd percentile EPA. But

21:53

Moses 99. Like he's just

21:55

running on a different tier than everybody else. And

21:57

I just don't see why I would doubt that

21:59

right now. now so I'm

22:01

gonna go with the Apache Prose.

22:03

I want Baltimore to win but I'm going

22:05

into Kansas City. I'm doubting it. I

22:10

mean I'm gonna I'm gonna take

22:12

the same tack that I took last week which is

22:14

that I grant you I agree

22:16

that if it comes down to Baltimore

22:20

needing to throw and the back

22:22

seven of Kansas City against

22:24

the receiving score of Baltimore I know Mark Andrews is back

22:26

I wouldn't like Baltimore in that case would not like it

22:29

if we get something funky we get a fumble return for

22:31

a touchdown if we get a Chiefs lead I'm gonna feel

22:33

dumb I'm not gonna like it at all because I don't

22:35

think that's the come I don't think that's the mode Baltimore

22:37

can succeed in but I just think they're a lot better

22:40

and and I'm not gonna disregard all the

22:42

stuff that we know we thought we learned

22:44

all season long about the Chiefs about okay

22:46

their floor is high but my god their

22:48

ceiling is low and I mean

22:51

let's face it there are plenty of ways that

22:53

ball Buffalo still could have won that game last

22:56

week if they weren't Buffalo absolutely you know absolutely

22:58

and we would be like we would be saying

23:00

Mahomes didn't make a single mistake Mahomes didn't even

23:02

take a sack I mean I think he's got

23:05

three playoff games in a row with no sacks

23:07

and no turnovers like the guy's insane he's amazing

23:09

his his I mean just the craziest stat is

23:11

his first road playoff game that's just a seasonal

23:14

accomplice just the accomplishment thing but his his 16

23:17

games of playoff performance are like better than

23:19

any MVP season in the last 10 years

23:21

right so and so like I'll I'll

23:24

I'll grant all that but

23:27

if if Buffalo had done like one or two

23:29

non-stupid things Stefan Diggs could catch a ball like

23:31

the field look icker wasn't a right

23:33

of jittering mess like yeah any

23:36

of those things happened we'd be saying man

23:38

the Chiefs really should be ashamed of themselves

23:41

Mahomes submitted that performance and they lost like

23:43

we would be spinning it around completely so

23:45

even in the context of that performance right

23:47

so I'm just gonna I'm just gonna I'm

23:49

trusting my eyes even though I understand I don't

23:51

feel confident about it all cuz that Mahomes is

23:53

just great he's just great alright so we'll get

23:56

25:02

right I lied we're not talking

25:04

about NFC right away because there's news as of

25:07

our recording this that I'm not positive Jim McCormick

25:09

even knows because it happened pretty quickly right

25:12

as we right before we started which

25:14

is that the

25:16

Dolphins have part company with Vic Fangio

25:18

were you aware of this Jim McCormick

25:21

I was not no I mean I

25:23

feel like he's going to Philadelphia you

25:25

are correct that is the rumor as

25:27

of our recording this Vic Fangio is

25:29

slated and maybe by the time people

25:31

are listening to and or hearing this

25:33

already is the Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator

25:36

I don't need to ask the question cuz I know

25:38

that suddenly it became harder for

25:40

you to sit let's put it that way you

25:43

are probably very excited about this well

25:46

I mean only in the context

25:48

of the fact that we interviewed Ron Rivera we always

25:51

say we let's go with it we interviewed Rod Rivera

25:53

last week right Riverboat Ron just to see I don't

25:55

know what his tarot card said I have no idea

25:57

why would you want to talk to him but here's

26:00

I do have this little piece of information. I

26:02

sat next to Vic Fangio at

26:04

the Nuggets game The Sixers

26:06

Nuggets game in 2019 the day he was

26:08

announced like his first public appearance and I sit next to him

26:10

and I had a I swear to

26:12

God seven throw and I'm like you couldn't get

26:14

better seats big and he was laughing and then

26:16

he's from Philadelphia So I said dude, you

26:19

know, you're rooting for the Sixers. He was don't tell anybody

26:21

and that's all my story Also, here's the other story Fangio

26:24

and it's all about the accent. Yeah, Fangio

26:26

Yeah, Fangio. I just want to say that.

26:28

I mean he's your favorite defensive coordinator in

26:30

the league And now he's going to be

26:33

rooting He's gonna be calling defensive plays probably

26:35

for your NFL team I'm assuming you're rather

26:37

happy from a football perspective and not just

26:39

a seven throw perspective. Yeah Yeah,

26:42

it'll also be cool like to get players who

26:44

are better, but that we'll see we'll figure that

26:46

out like we look this The

26:50

career arc of 31 year old corners we just

26:52

let's just not forget let's not let's not Okay,

26:55

right And so it's

26:57

hilarious that you frame it that way because before you came

26:59

on and I was talking with Dave Piper before we hit

27:02

Record I said, you know,

27:04

this is great and Jim's gonna be excited But the first

27:06

thing he's gonna say is the court the corners are terrible.

27:08

We need different people Yeah,

27:10

of course you're 100% right, but it I mean

27:13

it break, you know Fangio brings what

27:15

he brings like I wouldn't even call him

27:19

Super aggressive he plays a lot of cover to like

27:21

it's a lot of cover too But yeah, well he

27:23

will just offensive backs. Yeah. Yeah, he mixes it up

27:25

in the middle of field a lot That's

27:28

what it is. Yeah, and then again, we're gonna do

27:30

we again. I'm just going with it Just

27:34

fill up the Eagles separate from my lifestyle

27:36

my life. They don't consult me you'd be

27:38

surprised They

27:41

they I can't believe I said they they

27:43

are gonna have to Really focus

27:45

on not just offensive backs at the

27:47

top of defensive back desk But he like exposes five

27:49

or six and Miami it worked until it didn't when

27:51

Xavier Howard was like, hey I just don't want my

27:53

football anymore But you know the Jevon

27:56

Holland they had things that the Eagles don't have

27:58

things people what I meant by saying But

28:01

yeah, like I'm more excited because it's not

28:03

Matt Patricia, which is cool I

28:06

don't know what you're talking about The best

28:08

was the treat that Tom Pelis that Tom Pelis

28:10

arrow put out like with no editing from the

28:12

agent that was like Matt

28:14

Patricia is is is still has a lot of

28:16

ways to help a team and he's gonna be

28:18

one of the most coveted defensive coordinators I was

28:20

like Show us the

28:22

text show us who's text to do this Yeah,

28:25

if and when Bill Lechek becomes a coach we'll

28:27

find that out So

28:29

yeah, I mean I will

28:32

also add that the Dolphins lost all their pass

28:34

rushers, right? Very

28:37

bad injuries Achilles and an ACL. Yeah, I

28:39

like coming right back right there All right.

28:41

So let's let's now Jim Jim

28:43

can still sit that's good to know you can

28:45

still sit you don't just walk it off We're

28:48

gonna talk about the NFC and we teased off

28:51

the top with the Brock Purdy experience This

28:53

is Lions at 49ers I

28:56

wouldn't say either one of these teams set the world

28:58

on fire in their divisional round I don't think eat,

29:00

you know, whereas Kansas City and Baltimore Came

29:03

out of those of their respective games

29:06

like oh damn, you

29:08

know, they're they're they're really good And I would be

29:10

scared of them Of course Detroit

29:13

and San Francisco are both really good

29:15

But neither burnished their images in their

29:17

NFC Divisional round games and

29:20

I'll since we started with it before off

29:22

the top of the show. I'll get right back to Brock Purdy

29:25

He makes people crazy on social media because

29:28

there's no he either has to be terrible

29:30

or amazing. There's no middle ground. It's not

29:32

possible It

29:34

was either a wet ball or he's awful at

29:36

football and probably the truth is somewhere in the

29:39

middle Yeah, I

29:41

mean he's doing a lot for mom jeans everywhere. I

29:44

mean Whatever he's wearing like

29:46

no belt just jeans. He's just incredible. He's a

29:48

brave guy. He's a brave guy I'm not sure

29:50

what his look is the bugle boy or something.

29:52

Whatever it is. That's an old reference. I Got

29:55

it. Our producer Dave was a beautiful model. That's what

29:58

I brought it up Like

30:00

he was in the Jeep couldn't drive just like what's

30:02

it what the 12 year old doing in Jeep? You

30:04

know probably stole it nice. She but here's the thing

30:06

nice jeans. Yes. That's what I'm focusing the jeans Yeah,

30:08

well you know you know let's just focus on the

30:10

fact that that Rock

30:13

pretty has been volatile this year the

30:15

whole idea that there's this like one

30:17

version. He's the steady game manager He

30:20

almost threw a Jimmy pic. That was a Jimmy

30:22

pick. Oh, baby The the Darnell's have a Jimmy

30:24

pick didn't see it didn't see it at all

30:27

just trusted the Calculated

30:29

that said Shannon says press button here,

30:31

and it didn't work and uh he

30:33

didn't pay for his sins last week

30:36

the one thing that gives me some some Reservations

30:39

is that Detroit? It's not like that Detroit has

30:41

this like This dynamic

30:43

secondary right yeah, so it's but they what

30:46

they do have is a better pass for

30:48

us naturally I mean look Kenny Clark was

30:50

an animal he was like oh He's

30:53

like what Jordan Clark supposed to be he's running

30:55

all over the field punishing people But

30:57

on the edge like we're trying Gary was okay,

30:59

but like I just believe like hutch is is

31:02

really playing well The

31:04

defensive line in general is playing well I

31:07

just have concerns about and I use this word a

31:09

lot because it's ridiculous, but the back seven seven

31:11

people who play in the back Now

31:14

the seven in the front are fine. We're okay

31:16

with those seven seven in the family. Yeah Look

31:19

it's a Venn diagram okay And

31:23

in the middle is Alex and alone who had beautiful

31:25

hair But he's not very good at football So I

31:27

have some concerns about that and I have a prop

31:29

that related to that that I can share at some

31:31

point It should do it now. I mean. I know

31:33

yeah, I think my cat I think I didn't go

31:35

over 33 and a half receiving yards so

31:37

all right Well we'll get to all

31:39

the pride forgot to do the props for the kit

31:41

We'll do all the props later. Yeah, well we'll do

31:43

all four props at there the props for both games

31:46

at the end Sure Yeah,

31:48

I mean the truth about Brock Purdy

31:51

is that he does have a

31:53

horseshoe lodged in his posterior a lot of the

31:55

time And there's a way for that game to

31:57

have Gone badly like

31:59

a real early and not in

32:01

a non recoverable sort of way and

32:03

exactly for three quarters he was another

32:06

jittery mess he was off

32:09

he was not seeing it he over

32:12

through just pop balls over guys heads like

32:14

it was awful and that that's

32:16

great because if he if he stayed that way

32:18

for the fourth quarter he'd be Mack Jones and

32:20

no one would have any questions but the fact

32:22

is his team stayed close his

32:25

defense didn't play great but they did enough and

32:27

when they needed it it's true of Jared Goff

32:30

to Jared Goff was better didn't I mean Jared

32:32

Goff also should have thrown interception maybe not a

32:34

pick six but should have thrown a pick early

32:36

in that game but in each case both teams

32:38

needed drives at the in the fourth quarter and

32:41

both quarterbacks who are probably fairly

32:43

maligned in some cases both

32:45

came up nails like it's okay to

32:47

say that every so often a player

32:49

that you're not convinced is Hall of

32:51

Fame worthy can find

32:54

his way through to making a few great

32:56

throws that's the party throw on that last

32:59

drive to IU you couldn't

33:01

do better brain go do better was amazing

33:03

it was awesome it was awesome it was

33:05

awesome I did see somebody frame it as

33:07

like this is exactly how Joe Montana played

33:10

I was like okay calm down Joe

33:13

Montana puke on himself for three

33:15

quarters yeah no but you're right

33:17

they put like they stayed in

33:19

the position the team has the

33:21

best of things there

33:24

you mentioned the Chiefs have this high floor and

33:26

and a cap ceiling but like the scary thing

33:28

about the 49ers is they do have a high

33:30

floor because they're able to survive such things with

33:33

with McCaffrey taking off and making that play with

33:35

with Deebo before he was hurt he was

33:37

doing what he wanted with kill like you

33:39

know it's and then even like Drake Lee

33:41

Greenlaw like your second best linebacker would

33:44

be the best linebacker for like 25 teams

33:46

that's that's a good thing and

33:48

so they just have a high floor and they

33:50

have the ceiling because those flash plays change games

33:53

and I know they're volatile they're

33:55

not predictable at the time like turn of a

33:57

creation or splash plays on offense but this team

33:59

generates a of them because they scheme them and they

34:01

actually have the personnel for it. So I

34:03

hate to say it, but they're built for, they're

34:06

built to survive those things. So the question is,

34:08

is what's happening to Brock Purdy being coerced

34:11

by, by, by scheme and defense? Because it didn't

34:13

exactly seem like that to me last week. It

34:15

seemed like he was off from the jump. Like

34:19

everything was off re it wasn't just, you know,

34:21

I'm not mechanics or anything, but everything seems strange

34:24

to him. Like his feet were patterned. Whereas

34:26

before this year when he was at his

34:28

best in the weird mirage of MVP consideration,

34:30

which was worthy and physically he

34:33

just like stepped him through. And that did not seem like

34:35

where he was this week. So I

34:38

guess my question is the question is

34:40

can Detroit create stress for that guy

34:42

beyond a few, a few flushing

34:47

him a few times? Can it be like relentless?

34:49

Cause I feel like they have to be relentless.

34:51

I think the defense, the Detroit defense has to

34:53

do something spectacular. I

34:56

would agree with you in theory, except for, I

34:59

don't know that Green Bay did anything all that

35:01

spectacular defensively. No, but

35:03

I suppose the weather was bad and the

35:05

hand size is real and you know, like

35:07

I get it. It could just boil down

35:09

to Brock Purdy. Like there's

35:11

a Cleveland game, right? There's the, there's this,

35:13

this Green Bay game. Maybe

35:16

that's all. Isn't it Green Bay offense better than Detroit? I

35:18

mean, at least how Love was playing until the end, he

35:20

was off schedule at the end, but he was playing

35:23

a pretty optimal game himself. Sure. But I

35:25

mean, you, you asked me. Yeah.

35:28

But you asked me like, can, can, can

35:30

Detroit do enough to get Brock Purdy off

35:32

his game? And my question is, well, I

35:35

don't think Detroit's defense is great, but I, Green

35:38

Bay after this amazing defensive run fired their

35:40

defensive coordinator. So, you know, I don't think

35:42

their defense was that great either. Um,

35:46

I asked you a question about defense and I was like, what

35:48

about the quarterback? So that's, that's

35:51

yeah. Um, Like

35:55

I think at, at, at base I'm with you.

35:57

San Francisco is going to score points in a

35:59

game. More broadly didn't play very

36:01

well. They score points like sits the

36:03

Niners have a lot of. I'll say

36:06

this though like ah, Depot.

36:09

Samuel. We.

36:11

Don't know at all. I mean I guess

36:13

I'll tell you that I've my suspicion. but

36:15

as of a recording this efficiently fifty fifty

36:17

to be able to play. I think in

36:19

the Nfl in the playoffs, fifty fifty means

36:21

ninety ten that he's gonna be out there

36:23

was of. But I also think the i'd

36:25

the idea that he's gonna have ten carries

36:28

is not on the take on Zama docket.

36:30

You know you, you have one more game

36:32

after this one And so it's fair if

36:34

people want to say even if even if

36:36

we have depot. oh it's not full depot

36:38

and. That's a problem because you're

36:40

the splits don't you know the splits When

36:42

Depot plays a windy was play as if

36:45

that's the only variable rates. We always played

36:47

the same opponent and there was play this

36:49

exactly the same way as as the does

36:51

the Cowboys home record saying yes they play

36:53

the Patriots it all as as whites are

36:55

mixed. Tom Brady's Terrible without Brickhouse me right

36:58

as I get that as egg as so

37:00

and so like But Depot Matters is good

37:02

player. I don't think it matters. Three points.

37:04

I don't think it's like when people see

37:06

this line and say wow the release the

37:09

line. Is Seven Rights and and when

37:11

people saw that line there were like

37:13

wow, that's an assumption that he was

37:15

definitely playing. I'm like wow, Okay I

37:17

mean. Unless on a lot I

37:19

saw like. I. Saw you know, national

37:21

people on T V saying well this line. obviously

37:23

they know something we don't know. Depot symbols deathly

37:25

playing and I'm if it only depots out. I

37:28

do like what's a slime seven like I don't

37:30

I don't know that. I think it changes that

37:32

much. Nah! Don't think

37:34

so either. Like that. it's that it feels

37:36

a bit looked at the project and spread.

37:39

they do this for before the game for

37:41

the for the protests or with senator have

37:43

right? So like so there there was. Another

37:46

didn't I guess bacon the depot thing. but

37:48

my point is there are those me some

37:50

heavy favorite situation here. Also like they're people,

37:52

there's a return to the larger sample size

37:55

whatever disco like just they've been really good

37:57

all year. So,

38:01

so, yeah, me

38:03

too. Let me, let me talk about the other side

38:05

though, because, uh, you know, Jared Goff on the road,

38:07

it's not a dome. Uh oh. I mean, the weather's

38:10

supposed to be fine. But if

38:12

he plays bad, no one will remember the

38:14

weather was fine. They'll just say, see Jared

38:16

Goff on the road. That was

38:18

my, that was my deck voice. Here we go. I

38:20

did a little deck there. Um,

38:24

you know, I, I don't think conditions are going

38:26

to be the point here. Let me ask you

38:28

this question. I saw some Bosa in that game.

38:31

Um, and I know I was told

38:33

by the people who know these things that San Francisco

38:35

had a 40% pressure rate

38:38

against Jordan Love and the Packers last week.

38:42

And all I can say is it sure didn't feel like it. I

38:44

don't, I don't know who counts pressures because it was

38:47

zero sacks and I

38:49

felt like Jordan Love had plenty of time. Am I, did

38:51

you, do you see a different game? I

38:54

did not feel to rest. Actually for a while,

38:56

like at the end, Bosa had some, he had

38:58

a couple of penetrations, but I thought that they

39:00

did really well in keeping them at bay.

39:03

Um, he didn't hear Jevon Hardgrave's name. Chase Young,

39:05

he didn't hear anything about it. Dude,

39:08

I was about to say, do Chase Young and Eric

39:10

Armstead still play on that team? I

39:12

said, I mean, it's incredible. Um, yeah,

39:16

to tell you the truth, I

39:18

don't know what a pressure is. Is it like a

39:20

mental thing? It's like he felt stressed because like,

39:22

it doesn't seem like a physical manifestation. Like he didn't

39:25

flush, like he wasn't running. It wasn't like, this wasn't

39:27

some, this wasn't some bootleg game all day. He was

39:29

operating from the pocket, stepping up. Maybe

39:32

I have to go back and look at more nuance there, but

39:34

um, I guess pressure is like beating your guy. I mean, that's

39:36

a pass rush win rate or whatever. So it doesn't even mean

39:38

you got there. It just means you got by him. I

39:40

don't know. First of all, quickly, so we'll see. Smart

39:42

people know these things. I'm not smart, but like,

39:46

here's what we say about Jared Goff. If you

39:48

blitz him, he will, he will, you know, be

39:51

bad. And oh my God,

39:53

against Tampa, all they do is blitz.

39:55

So for sure, they're just gonna blitz him and he's

39:57

gonna be bad. And then Todd Bowles, who you said

39:59

last week. week not trying to light you up

40:01

I agreed like he does what he does and all

40:03

he's gonna do is blitz they didn't blitz at all

40:05

and he sat back he's that back yeah like

40:08

that seems like a very stupid decision but

40:10

here's the thing I know the Niners aren't

40:12

gonna blitz the Niners don't blitz the Niners

40:14

don't you know every so

40:16

often but the whole point of getting 7,000

40:18

superheroes and the defensive line

40:20

is that we don't have to blitz anymore so

40:23

it's I guess yes I agree

40:25

that if it's Jared Goff under blitz like

40:27

pressure from four guys with seven guys in

40:29

coverage that's not a bet that I

40:31

want it particularly take like I get that I

40:33

get that that would be not

40:36

not the time where you want to back what

40:38

we know of Jared Goff like he would have

40:40

to rewrite who he is pretty significantly but

40:43

but I go back to I didn't

40:45

see it last week I

40:48

didn't see that rush I didn't see that much pressure from

40:50

with four I know it

40:52

didn't like the havoc to me was created

40:54

by the linebackers I thought they were everywhere

40:56

like Fred Warner was in every play like

40:58

meaning in the but in the coverage but

41:01

no right I mean meaning meaning like I

41:03

felt their presence I didn't feel it I

41:05

didn't play last week but I saw their

41:07

presence felt like on the side-to-side

41:09

miss it felt like like

41:12

a classic like linebacker duo it felt like

41:14

a Kuechly and his

41:17

friend the guy you know so like they looked they

41:19

looked like they were all over the field but

41:22

the defense it didn't seem like the pressure was

41:24

the issue for Jordan honestly Jordan love didn't seem

41:26

like having issues till he started throwing free feet

41:28

behind people at the end right so I agree

41:30

so he played really well and then the last

41:32

drive he had a legitimate chance and his first

41:34

throw was like running towards the right

41:36

sidelines throw all the way back of answer body in

41:38

the middle of field like I mean that that pass

41:41

you knew was intercepted the second he decided to throw

41:43

it no chance I mean it was like I

41:46

mean Brett Favre not only has the power

41:48

to like you know collapse like

41:50

like public funding he can also

41:52

enter like it was it

41:54

was like it was like one of those like it

41:57

was like Travolta and and and Nicholas Cage

41:59

and he was face-up Like he became Jordan

42:01

Love for a couple of minutes. Yeah. So

42:03

the last thing I'll just say about the details of this

42:05

game and going in this direction is I want

42:08

to piggyback on something you said to

42:10

start, which is Aaron Jones, which

42:13

is, I guess you can run

42:15

on the Niners because we both said

42:17

last week, well, our problem here is that

42:19

Aaron Jones ran on the Cowboys and I

42:21

just don't, and people have been

42:23

running on the Cowboys and nobody runs on the

42:25

Niners. So did, I

42:28

mean, there's no way to really answer this question intelligently. We're

42:30

going to know when we know, but going

42:32

into last week's game, I would have said that

42:35

that was way more about the cowboy defense and

42:37

the Packers aren't gimbaled around the Niners. And

42:40

now having seen Aaron Jones go absolutely bananas on

42:42

the Niners, I go, am I missing, have

42:44

the Niners like, I don't see any personnel that's different,

42:46

but like, oh,

42:49

like if you can run, if suddenly Detroit,

42:51

a pretty good running offense can run like

42:53

that changes things. Yeah,

42:55

absolutely. It does. And I mean, yeah,

42:58

like Jones is just amazing right now, but it was blocked

43:00

up. Like, it's not like he just was making, it wasn't

43:02

just magic. Like he just had to lane. I

43:04

was really surprised by that. It's the number one thing that I

43:06

said wouldn't happen. Yeah. Yeah. I

43:10

mean, I asked him credit to Green

43:12

Bay for just like imposing its will on a team

43:14

that I didn't think he could do that again. So

43:18

totally agree. But like, if you don't, if you asked

43:20

me three weeks ago who had the better offensive line

43:22

between Green Bay and Detroit, I'd say, look, Green Bay's

43:25

young and improving. Exactly. Like, Detroit

43:27

is the best in the world. Like, I mean, okay,

43:30

it's one of these places for San Francisco, but like, as

43:33

a group, you know, and they might not be

43:35

fully healthy on the offensive line either. Rag now

43:37

probably play, but in the left guard got hurt.

43:39

But yeah, I go, I give them a chance

43:42

to run. All right. So we've danced around it.

43:44

And actually you haven't really tipped your hand how

43:46

you're leaning rather. We

43:49

got the San Francisco's minus seven home. Detroit, what do

43:51

you think? Yeah, I'm

43:53

giving the point, even though like, Perdy

43:55

could just throw gelato everywhere. I

43:57

don't know if that's like a thing. From

44:00

your life in the new Assistant Attorney

44:03

fees of nothing has go people with

44:05

good life of a nicer than maybe

44:07

sorbet race Ronin. Because. They're

44:10

putting his as I do. we don't need

44:12

that like of terrible made like just like

44:14

other guy jersey the guards cream cheese some

44:16

for yeah I think the same has a

44:18

high floor, the high ceiling to have it

44:21

all and my biggest concern with with is

44:23

just the linebackers as is really not very

44:25

good for Detroit and they're going to really

44:27

make it better effect They're going to get

44:29

those guys and space they're going to get

44:31

those guys by Alexander alone is just gonna

44:33

have the rely on has been we're here

44:36

because he's making is utterly thousand grit and

44:38

I think my last. Week. We had with Mccaffrey.

44:40

I think this is the Mccaffrey weeks where he just

44:42

admit the game. Maybe if they realize that he's on

44:44

the team. Solid on he went over. I had him

44:46

as a proper needed over but it was. we did.

44:48

It was very nervous. It was the end of the

44:50

game as I got this. And

44:53

we're on opposite sides and both of these

44:55

and out really feel good about either one.

44:57

I'm just gonna like rely on. Of

45:00

course I think if to score wins like of

45:02

coursing through the better team of course I think

45:05

they should be favored and money line that's the

45:07

bad like I've since the wins this game yes

45:09

but do I think the lions are seven points

45:11

worse? I

45:14

guess I'll say no based on this whole

45:16

body work out. I'll say. There's

45:19

there's a lot a really good players who play for

45:21

Detroit and they've had a really good season and there's

45:23

a way for them to score a bunch of points

45:25

here. I honestly agree with you simply school going to

45:28

put up a number and then it comes down to

45:30

whether Detroit. Can. also put up a number

45:32

and i can't believe i'm saying that i secured

45:34

golf is good enough to do it but i

45:36

write in a less we can scared me and

45:39

and i i couldn't make myself do it again

45:41

i guess with the with the niners ling ling

45:43

a bunch gamma equivalent is with also own like

45:45

as a mechanic january bet that were my my

45:48

my endorsement rather but like there is to be

45:50

said at the same so year is that like

45:52

to terms with corners or were going to beat

45:54

them beat them on the outside going to get

45:57

to the the problem is the past residents of

45:59

it since young prior to this that you didn't

46:01

get to that point. You didn't get to the point.

46:03

I'm just saying, they schemed guys open to the point

46:05

where it's like, you know, just, Jayden Reed was just

46:07

waiting for the ball. And so that

46:09

is all a possibility, but I think it's just a,

46:11

I just think it's gonna be a race. This is

46:14

gonna be a, I think it's gonna be a really

46:16

offensive friendly game. Me too. Me too,

46:18

in fact, that's, and my best bet is gonna wind

46:20

up being neither of the sides. I'm not gonna pick,

46:22

my best bet is something else related to what you

46:25

just said. Okay. So

46:27

let's do props. There's no reason to explain them

46:29

because we've talked through the games all the

46:31

way through. But what's your favorite

46:33

of the ones that you picked? Okay,

46:36

McCaffrey over 37 and a half receiving yards. Like

46:38

one, you have the Debo factor, but that's not

46:40

even that important to me. He could be completely

46:42

healthy and this would still apply to me. I

46:45

just think he doesn't even need that much volume

46:47

to get there. The way he can create and the

46:49

way that they scheme him. But it's particularly against, we

46:52

didn't say to explain too much, but it's about those

46:54

linebackers. I think they get them in space. Yeah, no

46:56

explanation needed. We'll just get, just say it. Go for

46:58

it. I got you. I

47:01

don't know if this is my favorite, but it's

47:03

dovetails of the same thing. I'm gonna do Ayuk

47:05

over 80 and a half. And I know you

47:07

have beaten PTSC because you had Ayuk over last

47:09

week and he did not come. He didn't do

47:11

half over. There wasn't even a possibility

47:14

for half over, but it's 80

47:16

and a half and no Debo, yes

47:18

Debo. I like Ayuk an

47:20

awful lot against the secondary. What's your

47:22

next favorite prop? It's

47:24

actually, speaking to the thing we did, it gives

47:27

over 44 and a half yards rushing. Okay. They're

47:29

gonna have to lean on that

47:31

and it's gonna, he can gash, so yeah. All

47:35

right, I only have one other. I'm gonna do Rachie

47:38

Rice over 59 and a half because

47:41

I just don't see

47:43

anyone else. And like there's,

47:45

you know, these are all three yard passes.

47:47

So I'm not, it's not like a Marlin

47:49

Humphrey problem. I just, I see

47:51

that continuing for Rachie Rice over 59 and

47:53

a half. Do you have any other props?

47:57

I'm clapping. It's gonna be weird. Listen, this is gonna

47:59

sound weird. because I'm gonna cough. Excuse

48:02

me. Lamar Jackson. I don't know what happened

48:04

here. I'm beclimbed.

48:06

Lamar Jackson over 57 and a

48:09

half yards. Running. Running.

48:11

It's not 57 and a half. It's a lot more than that, isn't

48:14

it? 59

48:16

and a half? Looking in

48:18

real time as of our talking

48:20

about it. It was... That's

48:25

a rush of 10. It's 63 and a half. 63 and a half.

48:28

63 and a half. I used an old line. 64

48:30

and a half. 64 and a half actually. Still

48:33

over? Yeah, I'm not gonna play that anymore. No.

48:37

Sorry. Old line. Old line.

48:40

All right. So there's the about

48:42

face right there. It was 63 and a half. Jim

48:45

McCormick was on it. But 64 and

48:47

a half. Forget it.

48:50

Go ahead. I have one that actually wasn't from last week. It

48:53

is packed over homes over 241 and a

48:55

half passing yards. I think he's gonna

48:57

do that. Wow. I

49:00

kind of don't, but yeah. I guess

49:02

that describes our respective sides. My best

49:04

bet... Okay, so we're gonna ask you

49:06

your best bet. I'll list viewers on

49:08

YouTube. Please leave down the comments. But my best

49:10

bet is the over. It's

49:12

the over in Lions 49ers. It's over 51. It's

49:15

a big number, but I feel okay. The

49:17

Niner defense scared me a little bit last week, so

49:19

over 51. That's a good

49:21

one. I'm taking the over in the Kansas City game.

49:25

As your best? As your best? Yeah,

49:28

44 and a half points. I think it's gonna go over.

49:30

I think these teams will both score. I don't think it's

49:32

gonna reduce. It's gonna be tight. It's gonna be somewhat of

49:34

a rock fight. But I still think it's gonna... There's

49:37

just so many playmakers in the pocket. There's so many

49:39

playmakers at quarterback that I think it's gonna go over.

49:41

So, yeah. I

49:45

think there's only two. But that is a lot. Two

49:47

is a lot. Playmakers are quarterbacks, that is.

49:50

Two? Yeah, there's two. There's a

49:52

lot of them, so there's two of them. There's more than one. Fair. I'm

49:55

already backing you up. This is me having your back. DraftKings

49:57

has a special. One and a half... super

50:00

quarterback tonight that

50:03

is that is generosity and rapping sport uh...

50:06

that's it but tell us down the comments what

50:08
