NFL Game Debut is a production of the NFL in partnership with I Heart Radio. Game Debut presented by Mercedes Benz is back, and we are almost halfway through the season. We had so many mental areas and mistakes. Speaking, we're doing great and so are the Eagles. Looking to stay on beating against the Steelers and the Jets going for five in a row against whoever playing quarterback for the Patriots. Guys who are making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing.
Is he talking about Matt Jones or Billy's Anny and maybe guys who aren't playing like Sam Ellinger in Indy. He is making his first start against the Commanders and oh yeah, Packers, Bill surtday night. When the players really take old, you're going to see the possibility of us making a run. Does anyone know what are you talking about? Sydia my the only one hearing this game debut starts
right now. Everybody, welcome to game debut. Something that you don't know about me, Richel, But as they just walk around hearing Aaron Rodgers in my head at all times, Gregs knows that happened to you? That sounds like a terrible existence. Oh that's not so bad. Old times is some fun, weird things. Braylan Patrick Clay, guys, I don't know if you guys are keeping track, but things are getting tight in the picks contest. Oh it took me
I've wasted to get hip, but I'm that baby. Patrick still wears the crown with Greg and Cynthia right behind, and then yeah, I'm in last. It's never been closer. But as Aaron Rodgers said, like when people aren't performing, they're gonna have to need to be benched. That cut you're cutting me, according to Aaron Rodgers is Aaron take it back? Okay, a game. I think we're all probably an agreement on Bill's Packers. This is not a mistake. The words I'm about to say are correct. The Packers
are a ten and a half point underdog. Okay, Aaron Rodgers is a ten and a half point under rock. And you just say that again. I don't think it's ever happened to him in his life ever, or a double digit underdog. Greg surely he covers that purely. I don't think he does. I think it's gonna be more likely it's a big Bills victory. I have him thirty four to twenty over the Packers. I don't think the Packers offense has enough answers to take care of things here.
Matt Milano, I know he doesn't get talked about a lot of the Buffalo Bills as a linebacker is a running back stopper running back in tight ends. He gets out on the edge. He makes sure they don't get good, big place to the outside. He shuts them down in the passing game. Why that's so important this week? Aaron Jones is really the only offensive player that Aaron Rodgers trust that I trust. Alan Lazard is not playing in this game. If you shut down Aaron Jones, I think
you shut down the Packers offense. And I think Matt Milano is shutting down Aaron Jones. Cynthia, do you have a big win here? I have a ten point win here, which is pretty big. Twenty nine to nineteen is the final score per the model. When I'm looking at this, it's kind of feeding off of what you said. Aaron Jones. Let's give him his just due. In fifty two point eight percent of his rushes, he exceeds at spectations. That is a very fun number, meaning that a normal running
back would run for X number of yards? Will he runs for more than that on over half of place most in the NFL with the Bills, they stop runs the best by a wide margin, partly because of Matt Milanna. More about Boston College, Matt Milano. You know, we like to get that in here, but realistically, it's all about that run defense and stopping Aaron Jones, because that's really all that we have seen. Aaron Rodgers. His yards per attempt and his time to throw both down this season considerably.
I don't love this old line. So it seems like it's that this is now. Aaron Rodgers is gonna throw for like four hundred yards and five touchdowns and seen that this year now. But honestly, you guys have a positive view of the game. You've got them more than their current output in terms of points per game, where they're in the eighteen point per game range. And honestly, I was surprised to find out that this team is has only committed nine turnovers considering how bad the offense
has been throughout this season. It is Aaron Rodgers. He has taken care of the ball. Still, maybe takes some risks twelve take a few more do something. I do think ten and a half points is far too much, but that that's about it. I was trying to discuss with my wife, Hey, what reason can I say that they'll do better than ten and a half points? And she's like, well, maybe the weather, low pressure, who knows,
But yeah, tend and have points is too much. But I just haven't seen enough to feel confident in the packers of this game. I'm going bills across the board, obviously, and I have them by I think eleven points thirty one to twenty. Listen, we were hearing them in this intro of Aaron Rodgers talking about his teammates. That's not a good vibe. We do a vibe check on the show often, Bill's great vibe, packers terrible vibes. Right now,
he's talking about his offensive weapons. He's like, some of these guys shouldn't be playing like as an offensive weapon. Are you gonna be stoked to hear that? Absolutely not. Maybe they need to play a little more call of duty. Maybe they need more call of duty in their lives. They need something other than Aaron Rodgers just talking trash all the time? Okay, is Giants Seahawks a revenge game. Okay, hear me out. Remember five years ago, I take you back.
Eli Manning had started two second games until the one and only Ben McAdoo called on Greg Gene. No, he was a believer before Greg was didn't play poorly, but the Giants lost. Eli was back next week. Real weird situation, Okay, But like I said, could be a little bit of a revenge factor in here, or at least we're going to pretend there is Cynthia. You haven't picked the Seahawks all season, people, that's fild I didn't actually even know that you won four times? Does that change this week?
Have you convinced the model? Well, let me look, Nope, I'll change this week. I actually have the Giants winning this game. I have twenty four too, so not an overwhelmingly convincing win, but I still think that the Giants edge them out. When I'm looking to see what Daniel Jones does with se Kwan Barkley, it's really interesting because those two are both in the top twenty in rushing yards overexpected because the opportunity for both of them on
the field creates a mismatch against defenses. Obviously, the Seahawks have two great corners, they're young, they're really interesting to Kobe Bryant, great names, fun to say. Let's throw out between the hashes, the middle of the fields where Daniel Jones has been successful when he has gotten the ball out of his hands. So that all taken together means advantage Giants. I heard that all and I just heard hater come after twelve? Now what am I doing? I'm sorry?
Thank you for inciting that. They will they recognize this is the sweet and innocent version. Maybe maybe not. Things go wrong once Rachel gets to her. I consent that you mentioned Toquilla and Kobe Bryant. Also, let's throw boy Afe into this as well. This is a team that's starting a whole bunch of rookies, especially on defense, and we saw the start of the season the results weren't
so great. But take a look at what the Seahawks defense has done recently, especially considering they held the Chargers under a hundred yards rushing. That was the well, that's the thing. That's the thing. People improve, they get better, and this defense has gotten better. And that's why I don't think the Giants are gonna crest twenty one points. I think Gino and company, who I believe. Stop that
and the shriek is over. The Seahawks will eventually be picked by Okay, so the Seahawks have the best quarterback in this game. We can all agree they also might have the best running game in this game. Kenneth Walker is playing that well right now. I'm not saying he's better than se Kwon Barkley, but he has a better matchup. I talked last week, how do you attack this blitz heavy Giants defense? You run straight through those blitz is. The Jaguars did that well, but they didn't throw it
well enough. Kenneth Walker can bust off big runs. He's second among running backs in the league at six point one yards per carry. You know what defense is the very worst in the NFL giving up yards per carry. It's the Giants. I know they've overcome it. They're not going to overcome it this week. And Rachel, you've mentioned Ben McAdoo believed in Gino even before me. That's not true. I wrote a whole article about it. You can check up. It's still up there. I love that, guys. I'm disappointed
I spent too much time with Cynthia this week. I was all on the Seahawks. She came on my podcast the other day bench within that make sure you listen, and I was like, Seahawks, you know, defense is improving, DA and she just made some valid points and unfortunately pull up my score. Look what I did? Look what I did? I saidcombed to the Cynthia pressure. I've got the giants. Now we's done it. I like that. I
like it when we're split. It's twenty four, I will say, Okay, there's lots of lots of things to be scared of this weekend. It's Halloween weekend. I don't know what Greg's going to show up as, but I'm sure it's gonna be weird and frightening. You know, it's really scary. Take one Barkley against that rushing defense. I know that they've improved, but they're still almost the worst rushing defense in the
league in Seahawks. What are you think going to be I'm gonna be, uh like a small adult that people confuse for a child when they bring their children into the door. Isn't know what happens Toona mac Jones is back, which is good, right right? Good? Pats on the other side of the break, Oh, I look forward to this one every time it goes down. Niners RAM San Francisco has won seven straight regular season games against the Rams.
I don't know how they are doing it. They're slightly favorite against l A in so FI BT Dubs, Cynthia. Who do you like in this one? I, even though I don't like the injury report, I still like the Niners in this matchup. I only have a two point when in this one, though, twenty two to twenty is my final score when I'm looking at this one. It all comes down to that old line and Matthew Stafford. He's not just been under pressure, He's been under the
bad kind of pressure. Like when I'm looking at this matchup. Apart from like Cooper Cup, I'm not even playing fantasy players in this one. I don't know what's going on Monday. No, no debo. That's a big deal. No, because a deep But I'm not on the Ram side other than Cooper Cup. Nope, No, I don't put it as the Rams like to figure things out. They did just have their bye week. Yet I'm picking the forty Niners too. I just can't trust uh Sean McVeigh in this matchup. Those regular season games
means something. It doesn't work for them. I think what they need to do for the Rams is go back to Stafford under center. Before the bye week, you saw him playing against the Panthers a little differently than they had played for most of the season. They've started to simplify things. I know that's a dirty word, that's what Aaron Rodgers started to say, but it was a little more of the Jared goff Ram's offense, where it's play action and your backs to the defense, and you simplify
it for your offensive line too. You get your center back because the whole Stafford just figures it out. When he's in shotgun that's not working. He's not throwing the ball well even when they are protected. I just trust
the Rams have less talent. Like it's weird to say that you think of them as this crazy talented I know, but I'm saying it's crazy to say that, Yeah, because I know they get Van Jefferson back, But defensively, offensively, I think the forty Niners have more players ultimately and they win. They do, and getting Van Jefferson back, I think is huge. When you come into the game in the season with Matt Stafford having that injury. I also think that's huge and as you mentioned, Greg rest helps,
doing high knees doesn't necessarily heal things. But Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson both got shots in this game. I didn't do it big target big shots that they happen. But honestly, I am picking the Rams in this game and the reason I am starting fantasy wise Allen Robinson
because the time off. In the time away, Cynthia mentioned the law of Joe note Boom for the remainder of the season, I think perhaps things get paired down a little bit more where you're not trying to do all of the things that clearly Joe not Boom was having trouble doing. Our health or not, this offense gets a knittle more simple things get back to the basics and no debot. I don't see looking back. He's got almost
seven yards in his career against this one team. I just have trouble imagining this team doing a whole lot of things considering the recent games that have been played between these two. Well, it is officially a stray bon. You are going so low, no low, I have the fourty niners as listen, I know things change and players change and everything, but the fourty niners being seven and oh against the Rams in the regular season, you've got
to kind of pay attention to that. Like he's I know that the two Shanahan and McVeigh, they're like best buds. Shouldn't figured something out and like gotten in mcveigh's head that he just cannot figure it out in the regular season. I don't think that we should ignore that. I think that it's going to happen. And then Christian McCaffrey is added. I know last week we were expecting some big things
from him and didn't really happen. I hope that he snaps this week and put some some points on the board. Speaking of let's do the math like that little Seguae Cynthia, Christian McAffrey had a season high a hundred and fifty eight yards from scrimmage when he was with the Panthers earlier this season. Will he get into the end zone through the air and ground both pulling double duty? Well, it did get better with no Deebo Samuel playing the
chances for both. I think one will happen. I mean, he's averaging four point nine yards per rush outside the tackles. We know those outside runs or what Kyle Shanahan likes to cook up. That's a career high for Christian McCaffrey. I think one on the ground is really a really nice opportunity to happen. But I don't know about both to ask. Sean McVeigh was asked about what do you think c mc getting out of the point Narrows had to bleep his answer, that's amazing, was like, no, I'm
wearing my head band. San Francisco is the place. It's amazing. I love it. Okay, Well, some familiarity for McCaffrey against l A this week in a familiar face back under center for New England for the whole game, maybe the most popular man in New England. Bailey Zappy is Zappy manio, isn't it you toll? It's a low call? Why not? Would you call me? Bers? Who makes a twisting TV
catch touchdown? Patriots girl screen perfect to catch twenty There he goes said, nobody's gonna touch them hend zone touchdown bears so interesting, up embarrassing. The fans knew they were losing that game, right, Okay, Well, sorry, Bailey Zappy, it's Mac Jones on Sunday. Actually until it's until it's not.
Patriots have won twelve in a row against the Jets. Patrick, you are first, what are you thinking, Oh, I'm thinking that it's not only just embarrassing, but it's it's like the people in uh Pompei chanting for Mount Vesuvious and the just clothes. And then I think not Jones clearly the choice. And that's a part of the reason, because I do think Mac Jones has a bounce back game.
But I'm looking at this Patriots defense the way that they have made plays, excluding this past Monday Night, but they still even made plays against Dustin Fields on Monday Night, especially the rookie corner. I gotta pick six off of Aaron Rodgers. Just the way things have gone in the past few weeks for Zach Wilson. I don't see the Jets offense having enough to contend even at home, even
as well as they've been playing. I've got the Patriots here. Interesting, Yeah, I've got the Patriots winning almost the exact same score because they have the better quarterback. Patriots, what are we doing here? You're embarrassing yourself. Mac Jones did things last here. He was the number twelve ranked quarterback in the entire league according to PFF. He made the Pro Bowl and did the gritty there. He was accurate, he went through his reads. You don't think the Jets would trade Zack
Wilson for Mac Jones right now. This is the guy who has the higher ceiling. It's the guy who I think can do more to this Jets defense. Even though they have a good pass rush in a great secondary. They have better weapons in New England this year than they did a year ago. For Mac Jones, and I think he's the guy long term, and I think he's going to be the guy this week. You're not attend, no, like, what what are we doing to it? Well? I have the Jets winning, so twenty one to twenty is my
final score. And whenever I can work in special teams, I'm gonna work in special teams because the Jets have the best special teams in the National Football League. You heard that, right, Usually say that about the Patriots. That bothers Bill Belichick know what, don't. That's why I'm bringing up best gunner duo, fourth best starting field position. Thanks Braxton Burrios, You're crushing it. He has the highest yard return average, like this is an unsung hero of this
Jets team. Yes, we don't have Reestall, which stinks, but it's going to be an interesting It's going to be an interesting matchup because, Sauce Garter, you're gonna let your guy Mac Jones or your guys and then comes I'm going with you because I'm for this one. St I'm feeling saucy as well. J E T s Jet, Jets, Jets. I'm going Jets twenty four New York New York teams in October right now we're eleven and oh I am not touching any other team right now. I'm going Jets.
They're a fun team there on fire. Also talk about Mac Jones. Do you think that he's still young and impressionable? They're yelling zappy hour at him. I think he's going to be stuck to go out. Why it's good a few time and the works. I actually think it is. It is a better thing. They're away from Foxborough and those meat those means. Do you think that you think New York people are? There are guys here thirty thousand
feet in the air. It's time to do some stretching, time to do some high knees Russell Wilson versus the Jags in London. We are talking about that doozy coming up. I am excited for Sunday. I'm getting him hearing me about. Think for a what are you gonna be? I can't tell you, guys, By the way Earth sitting down with Kirk Cousins. I mean, hannot wait. Two of the most electric personalities we've got. Cannot wait. Kirk Cousins. Who's taking on the Cardinals on Sunday? Greg, The Vikings are three
and a half point favorites. Can they hold off Arizona? I think they can't. I have them winning twenty four to twenty. I was trying to think, like, what's special about this team? The only thing they're really great at is field position. But we can't make a video of field position. So I'm gonna talk about their pass rush. Zadarius Smith and Dannell Hunter got it going right before there By now they were going up against a banged
up offensive line. I've been watching these two guys all You're kind of waiting for them to really break out, and it happened against Miami. Guess what they're going up against a very banged up offensive line this week to the Cardinals are down at least three starters and their left tackle is also questionable for this game. And what Zadarius Smith showed against Miami is that he can beat up on your backups. And sometimes that's what the NFL
is all about. Can you take advantage of a matchup when the other team doesn't have their best players And that's the Cardinals offensive line this week. I think the Vikings get it done because of their pass rush. I'm with you on the Vikings getting it done. I also want to point out they have their best player, just and Jefferson will be on the field. I have twenty seven to twenty three in this matchup, a four point when I love the opportunity Justin Jefferson wants to be
the best receiver in the league. He wants the best numbers, he wants the most touchdowns. I love it. We need to see him gritty when you look at the matchup between pretty much anyone of their corners. We love Buddha Baker, We're gonna put an asterisk there, but apart from him, it is a mismatch by big, big, big proportions. When it comes to Justin Jefferson versus the rest of them, so I expect him to reach the ends of what are you looking at the same score twins, Patrick Moses.
I also have the Minnesota Vikings. I do not have the same score because I like points. I like points, and I think we get a score fest here, mainly because I see the run game of the Minnesota Vikings and the progression this season even though they're playing a top ten rushing defense. In the Arizona Cardinals, I love the opportunity to have Dalvin Cook coming off of a bye he dealt with the shoulder injury earlier in the season.
Cynthia already mentioned Justin Jefferson. Of course that's going to be the focus. Too much focus on Justin Jefferson will at leaves some opportunity for Dalvin Cook in the run game. I love this matchup. I am taking the bikes as well. Across the board. I have a name like Patrick six. I feel like this is the This has the vibes of something weird could happen. We actually saw like a pulse from the Cardinals. We saw Paul. They put some points up on the board. I can see. I'm not
ready to trust them. I feel like they've been a mess otherwise this season, but de hoppit back Kyler Marie's certainly not messy when he's yelling at his coach. I mean feeling less like we could get in trouble here. This is the one where I think it could be weird. Want to you want to do it? Oh? I love that chaotic that's like for knows okay, not even anymore. There you go, Carnis fans, you can think is awesome. Okay, exclusive shot here Russell Wilson expensive four hours annoying all
of his teammates on a trans atlantic flight. You know, um, do hig knees on an airplane next to me while I'm sleeping. You're spending the rest of the flight in an overhead bin. That's what's going to happen to you. Not a threat, just facts. I am way stronger than I look. Greg. Don't try me, Okay, Um, what do you like? I would like you try to put me in the overhead but I think, no problem. I think it's possible I can lift t pounds, No problem. I'm picking.
I wish I picking the jags here. I haven't fifteen to twelve, which just feels like a London game type of score. I hope that's not the case. The London Jaguars fans is a real thing, actual, So it's all field goals either way. And I think Trevor Lawrence and Travis CTN are getting it going with their what's going on over there? What happened? Why share with the class teacher? The score is objectively funny because you're like, it's like
there's always a lot of field goals in London. Don't check test by facts and you get a lot of field goals when you have a good running game that can't quite finish it off. That's what the Jaguars are right now. They're so close there. RPO game with Travis ETN and Trevor Lawrence is starting to get going. And I think you can run the ball on the Broncos.
It's a really good defense. But it's easier to run on it on them than it is to pass on them, and you're using Trevor Lawrences athleticism and his movement skills. I think it's why they felt comfortable trading James Robinson because it's all about the r P. Oh, it's all about E t N. Maybe Trevor Lawrence. Even if he's not going to be the guy we thought he's gonna be, maybe he could be a bigger, more athletic toa that
that would be fun. Just be a little more accurate. Okay, well I have twenty one to nineteen in favor of the Jags in this one. I want to talk about Travis e t N because he has one hundred and sixteen and that number means rushing yards over expected against a light box. So you know what's been going on
with light boxes. That's what Austin Ekeler had success with, That's what BREECEE Hall had, Like there's a lot of examples of where the Broncos have been giving a light box to posing running backs and they just make most of it. So e t N. There's no James Robinson to share the load. You really want to play him in all formats of like a really fun daily Fantasy pick as well. So that's the difference maker for me. And I don't care for Ussel's back. We've seen that
he's not or whatever. Mr Woman, it doesn't matter. I was laughing mainly at Greg's score because my score is also objectively funny because I have the Broncos winning the seventeen to sixteen I look back at Jerry Judy's last three games. He had seven targets, eight targets and then eleven targets. They are force feeding Jerry Judy, and simply based on the odds, I think Jerry Judy catches a
long touchdown from Russell Wilson or from from Brett Rippon. Yeah, Brett Rippon, He's rippon you right either unless he gets hurt one way or the other. It's it's just too difficult. I want to pick the Jags here, but Trevor Lawrence has missed so many throws in the past couple of weeks. I've been burned in picking them, and Patrick certain certain is going to make him pay for one of them.
I'm going Broncos as well. Seventeen to fourteen, the Broncos defense has only allowed seven touchdowns, which is the fewest in the NFL. No other team with a losing record has fewer than thirteen. This Broncos defense is just hanging on for dear life, and Russell Wilson just needs to do something. Cynthia made a genius point this week. I think that Russ is starting to play in to all of this chaos going on in the outs, messing with us.
He knows that people are going to go all in, like everyone's just piling on, and he's gonna filip a switch. I think maybe he's gonna people didn't get to it, like there's gonna be more you know, fast food commercials. He's going to be doing more things and this, this is gonna be this is gonna be long. I think he's playing into it. I think I think he's playing into it too, for sure, Greg, I don't know. First of all, we were already robbed on Carson Wentz against
the Colts. Now all of this going down in Indie, what's going on? Well, that's true, we don't get the rematch, but we do get a Commander's victory at least if I'm right, I have them nineteen sixteen, and I just don't know what to think about c. M Linger, But I do know what to think about the Commander's running game. It's fun to watch. I'm telling you. They're pretty dynamic.
What Scott Turner's got going on. Uh, since they brought Brian Robinson back the way that they're using him in Antonio Gibson and Curtis Samuel, I think is having a really underrated year. You got Heinick out there blocking. Sometimes you got Heinik as a runner. They just throw a lot at you defensively, and I think this is a game where the better running team is gonna win. And weirdly, the Cults are not a very good running team, even
though they have Jonathan Taylor. It's because of the old line. I trust the Commanders more. I'm with you. I have the Commanders as well, but only have a one point win in this matchup. Let's talk about Terry McLaurin. He's kind of like an unsung hero. Last week he got the better of Gyor Elex Sander, which doesn't happen very often. But when you're scoring touchdowns against a corner of this caliber, you're gonna end up on my list and you're gonna
get a nice little highlight reel of yourself. On this one. I think you saw Taylor Heinekey rely on him and use him as his outlet. This is an opportunity here against the Colts for the Commander to show us something I think they do. I think the Colts are going to show score, but I have the Bolts on the other side of that, getting the wind because I think the offense has been limited in Indianapolis. There are some things that could not be done with Matt Ryan as
the starting quarterback. He was struggling to throw on the run. But now you can get some tight ends involved in the game. You can get more mole Ali Cocks, you can get more Gilani Woods. Because Sam Elliger had sixteen rushing touchdowns his junior year at Texas. I can't show you any Sam elligor NFL highlights because there aren't any, but I think we'll have that. He played really well in the preseason touchdown running in the preseason. I support
the preseason. I just didn't. I couldn't bring myself to put preseason highlights on the shows. Also the two tight ends, because I think they get more involved in this win. Well, if you won't read preseason highlights, let me tell you what he did. Scored four touchdown, four passing touchdowns. By the way, he had the highest pass A rating of any quarterback with a minimum of fifteen passing attempts. Completion percentage was up there. He can do something seventeen. They
don't have a lot on them. They're not really going to know what to expect except for preseason footage. That's kind of defense, like a young here we go stepping up that That was Mike Vick two thousand one. They're gonna score thirty points. Look, Sam, I know you're watching. If you need encouragement, just look at Andy Dalton. He threw two pick sixes last week, and guess what, He's still starting this week. So you can do it too, all right, Donald's given it ago again this week against
the Raiders. Saints are one and a half point dogs. Patrick, Do you believe in the red rifle? Yes, I firmly believe Andy Dalton exists. I do not believe Andy Dalton will win this football game. I'm looking over at this Saints defense and they have struggled here in two especially considering that Marshawn Lattimore he's been injured. He's out of this game. And I watched Paul sen Nadibo struggle against mar Chase, which, yes, he's a human being, most people do.
But now it's Davante Adams, and Davante Adams has had a solid run in terms of his accomplishments this season. I forget the step that I was just about to tell you, but Davante Adams is good. I wish he could have dunked there. That rule change is bad, but yeah, Davante huge game. Raiters want it. I got a problem with with everyone putting on in Dalton. Maybe that's you know, you contributed to them rifle. We do a whole package of the pick six. Dalton's played pretty well. It's been
the defense for the Saints. That's why they missed Sean Payton. I don't think it's because the offense. All their offensive numbers are up across the board. It's their defense that it's falling apart. So you get rid of Sean Payton and suddenly you lose Dennis Allen, who's a great defensive coordinator, a top five defense. The last three years now there were the worst defenses in the league. They give up big place. He's the head coach, but he's not good
at being the head coach. We've seen that in Vegas, and he's not good at doing both jobs. Uh. Their run defense used to be great, not great anymore. And their communication in the secondary you mentioned Latimore is out this week. They don't have their safeties. Their replacements at safety is not working. I just don't trust the defense. I do trust Dolton weirdly to score Okay, well, I trust a Dalton to score two, but not enough to score more than the Raiders. I have twenty six to
a very close one in this matchup. But I think the emergence of Josh Jacobs has been a real difference maker. When I think of the Saints defense, I think, oh, there, you're not able to run on the Saint Steve that well. But then you look in the numbers and between the tackles, Yeah, they're giving up just a bunch of yards per carry, and that is also a function of many pieces being
missing from that safety cores, et cetera. But when I'm looking at what Josh Jacob's devils to do and Josh McDaniels figuring it out for him, I like this opportunity. I think he's also a really strong play for Daily Fantasy as well, not that we have to play daily if you're out of it for your season long already. But ultimately I love and that's the difference of me and I love him in this matchup. So Greg, let me get this straight. You're like Rachel so mean and dune.
He was just like a video for Raiders. Anyways, Well, you know who's not picking the Raiders and who is going to believe in? Yeah? Gal, right here, I am taking the Saints twenty seven and twenty four any GOALM I know the picks. I know, Okay, I get it. Four touchdowns, three hundred and sixty one yard. Who wasn't that caught the interception and flipped into the end zone. He gave this man the best moment of his life. Fun football, and I stand by that interceptions. I don't
care you're playing fun football. Get into it, Greg low Netta, I love it, and I love the Celine Dion, my girl, my girl. Alright, couple of games we haven't hit on yet. And here's why we're all in agreement, all of us taking the Cowboys, Eagles, Titans, Bangles, and Dolphins. But Cynthia has the Texans keeping it kind of close, the Steelers not so much. And a late change, sneaky Greg Alar changing his pick from the Falcons to the Panthers. I
had to do it a little, just Gregg. Here, Jess, Greg's five and two on the here it's in this show and p J Walker was dominant. A week ago. He really played great, and they're missing in Atlanta their two best cornerbacks and a starting safety. So this really came down to the wire. This happened like what an hour ago. I felt it all week. I was like I wanted to take the pick. Just lingering playing right, Okay,
just nature. All right, let's see the math. Patrick Mahomes is your passing leader, but the Chiefs are off this week. Here are some of the other guys in the top fifteen. And Cynthia, you are higher on Jail and Hurts than some others this week. What do you think. I think it's gonna be a closer game between the Steelers and the Eagles than one might think, given that the Eagles are undefeated, So I think they're going to have to
stay passing longer. And I also think the opportunity to pass on these defensive backs is just a much greater one, and maybe they don't need to do and Hurts to run as much. I think he is a great runner, but let's do some passing instead, all right, switch it up? Well? Speaking of Jale and his Eagles are favored by ten and a half points, one of three teams favored by
over a touchdown this season, and how about this? In six of the seven weeks so far, a six and a half point underdog has not only covered, but won the game. Haul right, it is time for write this down before we make our predictions for week eight. Anyone got any predictions about how many push ups Greg can do? What is happening? Interesting? We have a clip moriy Stones do Yeah said that. I said mac Jones was coming back into this game, and we decided to put four
push ups on it. But then I just go and look at a counter are doing great? Wow? I said, twelve, good job. I'm looking at I'm talking to I'm like giving analysis. It was supposed to play out. This is embarrassing. No, like, there's this. You're the one that had to keep you can Did you tell them to play this because you did so many? Of course not. No, he totally did. I got the email this morning saying Greg, please, this is what I'm saying. This is actually I feel deep shame.
That is the biggest lie. You're totally Russell Wilson up. Totally Russell Wilson us. Why does it fill you with shame? Because that's that shouldn't feel like anytime you see yourself on camera just doing something goofy thin you should try and break your record right here. I was thinking I can't. I very seconds, I am not doing we're writing this down. We're writing this I no, I think we've totally nuts it,
right this down because we watched right down out. We're not gonna have enough time to uh we didn't actually thank you and do it next week, Oh come.
