Will Jets keep it close with Buffalo? Can Brady defeat 49ers defense?

to get to those in runal momentum. But first things first, I believe let me just look here new later alert who has climbed the charts here? Definitely not me. We're we have a new leader, a top the standings. Greggy out of nowhere snatches the crown from Cynthia and Patrick. I don't know how I feel about this. Actually I do know a nut kid. Yeah, if you thought I was obnoxis before this, do not keep this crown on my head. Don't let it happen. Jets Bills. Bills are

favored by ten this one. Can they keep it close? And we'll start with you, I mean closer. I have twenty seven to nineteen in this matchup. There's a number of question marks about who's playing necessarily in this one. Obviously no Von Miller is not. But one person who has really turned into a bona fide number one receiver is Garrett Wilson. Sebrety of him his just do here, especially if you look from the wide alignment. I mean one two of his one hundred and sixty two yards

last week came from that alignment. Two touchdowns against the Bears wide alignment. He's really commanding defense is to give him the number one treatment, which makes everyone else is more open. Last game is Corey Davis. Maybe this time it's I don't know, Elijah Moore. Who knows, but it's going to be an interesting one. And this secondary has been targetable for the Bills. And plus again keep your

eye on the injury report there as well. But I think to nighteen, yeah, it's crazy to think the Jets have matchup advantages on the outside on offense. I'm with you. I have the Bills winning, but I haven't even closer to three, and I feel strongly that the Jets are keeping this thing closer than ten. I feel strongly going over forty three and a half and I feel strongly that Mike White is not who we think he is. Everyone said, Oh, he's like this little safe point guard.

You know. I'm like, who do we think he is? Love him here? Just like, let's take the chick quick check downs and let's not take any chances, and let's kind of be Andy Dalton out there. No Mike White six ft five, sneaky tall, Hall of Fame here. He's got a big arm. He takes chances. I actually think he'll give the Bills defense some chances to make turnovers like they did a year ago. But I think he'll make big places. He's not the safe quarterback we were told.

He's a little more toolsy, he's a little more fun. Pack is a good thing. He brings it all to the table. I don't have a fun score it's but I agree with you guys. The Jets are able to keep this close. They've been asking the defense to do a lot all season, not asking them to do as much with the toolsy, fun quarterback and Mike White. But I want to look at the guy who's clearly he's

not sneaky athletic. Everybody knows athletic. It's Josh Allen. He was fired Let's go back to this November six game where Josh Allen was taking all of these deep shots against the Jets and not really completing them. Eighteen of his thirty four passes were only his only completions. He had a quarterback rating of forty eight. I think Josh is just gonna take his medicine in this game. I know he likes to take risks, but against his defense, the easy completions and the Bills just grind out. Greg.

I'm with you score wise and take wise. Let's talk about Mr Toolesy for a second. Okay, literally everybody in his life is probably telling him right now, don't think about the game from last year from where he played the Bills and you threw florid receptions and then you didn't play any more football after that for the rest of the season. Don't think about that. That's probably what everyone is saying me. Nay, think about it, think about it all day long, think about it. Okay, this is

an amazing chip on the shoulder. Sin Be always talking about the revenge factor. How fun is this? He isn't a different place in his life. He didn't play any more fun ball after that game. That's gotta hurt. That's gotta sting. Somebody asked him this week, how about the game last year's and what game? No? No, no, you know what? You know what game? Mike White? Mr Toolzy, bring it on so win. I'm not crazy. Okay. Let's move on to another divisional game. Vikings Lions. They met

back in week three. UM The Lions held a ten point lead going into the fourth quarter, but with forty seconds left, k J Osborne caught the go ahead touchdown to give Minnesota a twenty eight to twenty four victory. Cynthia, the ten and two Vikings are road underdogs. You're a Michigan girl. You locked the Lions last week, which is something I don't think I've ever seen you do on game day morning, but you did it. Are you doing

it again? I'm so glad we're starting with me because I am picking the Vikings I've favored, So that doesn't mean that they're going to win. I think that the Vikings win this one. It's not a convincing score to twenty seven in that first matchup. Justin Jeffrey Pson was shut down in this second matchup. Check the injury report. Guess who's on it? Good old jeff Acuda. He's the lions best corner. You know what happens when you're down defensive backs and you play Justin Jefferson. Lots of gritty,

lots of gritty in the end zone. Maybe there's a euro thrown in with that gritty, or perhaps one of the many various sausages you can get it forward field, all of which are going to Justin Jefferson, who should have a huge game. I do think that this is a very high scoring game. I think both quarterbacks and number one receivers are good picks for fantasy. But I just think this is the Vikings. Unfortunately. I love the Lions.

My dog is named after a Detroit sports legend. I clearly want the Lions to make but they're not going to see I feel like the Vikings stole the Lions mojo when they came from behind a couple weeks ago a week three at the beginning of this season, and this this week, the Lions steal it back to four. Let's go Lions. I leave in you because of your defense. Sometimes you look at all that numbers and the Lions

defense has improved since the bye week. Depending on what metric you want to look at there, a little below average, they're a little above average. Cynthia's model doesn't have them that high. You know what, they're not dead last in the league, and that's what they were before. And sometimes you gotta trust the old eye test. They came out of that bye week like they had just gotten the best hard knocks speech from Dan Campbell you've ever heard,

and they've been flying around the field. You don't see that out of the Vikings defense. The Lions defense has the better defense in this game. Put it in the rafters worst defense for the Lions. That stealing the Lions mod. It's a little too far because I'm thinking about on the road at Buffalo at home against the Jets. This Vikings team continues to deliver, and that's why I'm taking Kirk and the Vikings, who kind of sneakily carried me

twenty nine on the picks this year. And the reason is Dalvin Cook looking at this Vikings run game and what they were able to do, he has something in common with Devin Singletary Tony Pollard. They averaged over five yards to carry against the Lions, and again, I know they've improved since then, but looking back at what he did in the first game. I can't a good conscious ignore that. The Vikings do it again and another fun game. I'm I'm not saying the Lions are fun, but the

Vikings eke one out yet again. The Lions are fun. However, you know, every week we send in our picks, and along with our picks, we ask like what we want to show tape wise, and all I requested this week was just sorry, Greg, show me bad Lions defense. I want to see it. I want to see them messing up and not good because let me tell you this, Greg, bad Lions defense. Bad defense? Is Kirk Cousins corrypt in that? Okay? He is, Oh, let's go in his career in games

against the last ranked total defense. Why I don't know, Maybe like a challenge. I don't know what is going on here, but for some reason, Kirk Cousins oh and three against the last ranked total defense. Have a day Lions right now in the middle. Yeah, he hit it again, folks. An amazing comeback from Tom Brady on Monday night football out there looking like an old Baker Mayfield if I may He's going up against Brock Bartie, who was four months old when Brady got drafted in two thousand. Uh

Sin one team as Tom Brady. The other has um not Tom Brady. Who are you going with? Well, I mean the other has a really good defense of everything else. Right, there's a lot of other things in addition to not Tom Brady. So actually have the forty one sixteen So forty Niners still take this one. Why because the forty Niners ability to earn yards after the catch is really

really important. They also are really good at yards after contact and yards after contact after the catch, because it really all matters the way that they run this offense and how Kyle Shanahan architects the run to kind of predicate everything really creates the opportunities for shorter passes to turn into longer gains and that YAK will make a big difference. We've seen some interesting performances from the secondary for the Bucks, So I think that there are avoidable

holes and I think pl Shanahan's got this one. I am with you on this one, Cynthia. It's not about the quarterbacks. It's never been about the quarterbacks in San Francisco. It's about the defense. And Nick Bosa shout out to Nick Bosa, I mean, maybe the best pass rusher in the league right now, and also a viewer of game debut, I love just like seeing him get these early sacks and then him letting America know, yeah, just Greg, you know. It's like I'm with you, I got you, I see you.

Nick Bosa, quick around the edge, quick in the mind too, and a good, good fan. So the defense shuts Tom Brady down here. I don't think Tom Brady is thanks for watching name. I love the idea that quarterbacks don't matter. I'm there. We should clip that. I think in this game though, that they actually do because we're kind of neglecting the Buccaneers defense a little bit when we talk about this defensive matchup and what Todd Bowles squad has been able to do a top ten d v O

A defense on the season. And I know what they did on Monday night was against Andy Dalton and a Saints team. That's kind of maybe it's and people thought had checked out, But I still believe in Kyle Shanahan, the Debo and company. I think styles make fights, though, and I think this is a bad tough ask for brock Party, who's a great dude. He gotta do what you picking is he taking the books? What are you doing? Six confident? That's the same scores last night? Yeah, seven,

make it a stray bond, Baby, I'm going for to seventeen. Um. I don't think that we should like in the Tom Brady come back to Baker Mayfield. Okay, what Baker did was amazing. What Tom did the the entire game was the offense did not look good and then he just was Tom Brady and made an incredible past the seal the deal at the end of the game. But whatever, it doesn't matter because he got there on Tuesday. Patrick,

he got there on Tuesday. Um. But no, I just feel like the scurety Niners team Brock party just has to show up looking at his offensive weapons. I liken it to us on this show. Okay, you think we look like this every single day. No, we got an entire team around us doing our hair. Greg's got a little lip gloss on. Okay, really, because we surround ourselves with, all we really do have is have to show up. And that's what Brock Purtty has to do with all

those offensive weapons and the defense uh surrounding him. So I'm going seventeen. Okay, back into The Dolphins had a decision to make with the fifth overall pick. They chose to Uh. The Chargers wasted no time with the next pick, taking Justin Herbert. I think both teams are probably pretty happy with how things turned out. They're both doing pretty well as far as how they'll turn out on Sunday, Patrick,

who do you like in this one? Oh? Well, here's the We've got good news for the Chargers run defense, because we talked bad about it a lot. They have their five hundred team when they've allowed a hundred and fifty five or more rushing our yards. The bad news is that applies to half of their games. And there comes a Dolphins team that doesn't really run the ball

very well, but they can when they need to. I think the Dolphins Jeff Wilson Jr. Has been getting the most action and run game, so I'll spotlight him here. But he's yet to have a game in Miami like he did back in Week two with the Niners. But with the Chargers up, considering how teams have been able to stay on the ground, I think it's a good opportunity he does it right here on Sunday. I have a confession to make when you picked your last game.

I'm color blind and I thought you picked the other team, and my color blindness is gonna be a problem on Sunday night. To this Dolphins Chargers matchup is a mess. All you gotta do is just focus on the end zone. There's lots of points. It's gonna be forty to thirty three. I'm pretty forty Burger for two a tongue of violo and Justin Herbert to get off. But here the defense just has to make a couple of plays, and I

think the Miami defense is more likely to do. I'm not saying quarterbacks don't matter, but I am saying if you put Justin Herbert on the Dolphins, he'd be doing what two is doing. And more. Two is supported by a great supporting cast, a great coaching staff, and also a good looking front seven. They're getting after the quarterback. Jalen Phillips is playing really well, Melvin Ingram's playing well,

Zack Seeler is playing well in the middle. And I know they give up a lot of points, but they all also create a lot of turnovers and create havoc. I think that's what they'll do at the end of this game. It'll be like a Arena League game. This like a Melvin Ingram revenge game. Maybe we're always looking for revenge around here always. I'm picking a two point win, just a two point win for the Miami Dolphins in this matchup. Why will you talk about that Chargers run defense?

It's really very not good, great, not wonderful. What I'm looking to see the ability for them to stop and limit first downs. I don't even care about the actual number of yards, but stopping and limiting first downs. It is the worst that I've seen in any team in my model since the other Chargers, which another year. Charges is actually the second worst in eight years. Okay, that's it. That's really I have to say about that. Sad, so sad. You know, I was saying it's bad. That's the numbers.

The numbers are. What the numbers are? They give up first downs? Yeah, are sad. I thought it's interesting I've picked the Chargers as my team this season by the way that went well. Charge was in primetime on Sunday Football specifically, I've kind of struggle. I thought that this was interesting. This is going to be their third sign Sunday Ight Football game since Week ten. That involved the Chargers. They lost in out San Francisco and week ten they

lost versus Casey in Week eleven. Both games they were leading at halftime, but by six plus points and they were outscored and they lost both of those games. So primetime, no bueno. I am going Dolphins. What is my score over the Chargers? Okay, coming up after the break, we got Jalen Hurts taking on the Giants and you know what, Jalen Hurts, I love you. Get out of here. We want to see the real deal. Where's the hand time?

Can we just have this every single week? Please? Joy beautiful Eagles Giants On Sunday, Philly is favored here by seven points. Grag team. You think the Giants can keep question? No, I don't even think. I think you know, you play all this rivalry stuff, It's not going to be close. The Eagles are so good their backups could beat the Giants, and I really think they're probably will be at the Giants because they play all their backups. They have a

luxury their defense. Brandon Graham and the rest of them don't even play starters snapps. Brandon Graham, having a great year, played eighteen snaps last week. Josh Sweat on a fifteen million dollar contract, one of the best ed dressers, played twenty seven snaps last week. Fletcher Cox on a big contract, eighteen snaps last week. They rotate them in and out to keep them fresh, and you don't even need to

be on the field their backups. And it's not just on the defensive line, it's on the offensive line, it's at the skill positions. Put Gardner Minshew out there. I think they could beat the personally, love to see that. Let's do that. That would be super fun. I only have a six point win, twenty six to twenty. I agree with you at the caliber of the team overall, but this rivalry is really interesting. And when I look to see what could happen, I think Miles Sanders will

run the ball a lot. Why because, like you talked about, I think that the Eagles will get up to a nice lead. But then you know what happens when you run the ball a lot and the other team needs to run the ball a lot to you kind of slow down the possession so you don't get the opportunity to score. Like this wildly different number right, fourteen is a little bit too much for me. So just six in this matchup. But Miles Sanders deserves a lot of nice things to be said about him. Maybe we don't

talk about him enough. All of his ability to run, especially inside the tackles is a really nice way, a nice area where he contributes. Yeah, Chotan mele Sanders because at the start of season and he's like, fantasy people don't draft me. They had a great year. So Miles Sanders great. Also great, the Philadelphia Eagles not great. Uh. The Giants offense, it seems like the Washington the Commanders

kind of became the Giants. Everything we said about the Giants earlier in the season is what we're saying about the Commanders now. But this overtime loss from a week ago kind of highlights the inability of the Giants offense to really do anything, especially make explosive plays in the

passing game. I think this is the Eagles kind of getting out in front and Greg, like you mentioned, maybe checking it down and that's the only reason it's not a blowout from Yeah, Patrick and I picking against the Giants each and every week is finally single week I have a closer game too. I just have a seven

point win. Uh, So we're breaking even here. I feel like in these kinds of games, it's hard to say that there's going to be a blowout because people always step up for these games when you got that much history. Kind of it's one of those games that you circle on the calendar every single year and you never really know what is going to happen. Also, the Eagles were winning the entire season. They then they dropped one, and I feel like things were a little bit shaky here

and there. But I feel like they've gotten back on tractive and putting up some big scores against the last few teams. So I'm going Eagle over the Giants. Time for a quick picks, Patrick, you have picked the Ravens every single It'll be Tyler Only show on Sunday. Are you did this graphic get here confident? Oh my god, it's like you hacked to the show. Are you so confident in Baltimore to get it done? Based on seeing

the rainmaker appear, I'm breaking the street. I'm not going to pick the Baltimore Ravens because I don't think number eight is playing. The Number eight is the reason I have such an affinity for the Baltimore Ravens. And he's the reason that I've picked them every single game this season. And now I'm looking on the other side of a defense that is playing Marlon Humphrey in the slot and they've had real trouble with outside receiver. So let's talk

about George Pickens. The Steelers could have been getting him the ball a little bit more. We saw Za Jones absolutely go off. We saw Chris Olave have those seven catches in New Orleans on the Monday night game. I just think it's a big game for George Pickens and the Steelers when at seventeen fifteen. This is one of those me milerts. Though, don't you are you worried now that we're all on the Steelers. Yes, I just picked the Steelers because I wanted to hear that those beautiful voices.

Cynthia and I have a nice little warm up that we like to do before shows. Would you like to demons right, pick it to Pickens, pick gets Pickens, pick it to Pickens, Pick it to Pickens's like picking Pickens. Okay, about the Texans and Cowboys, all they have in common is they both play in Texas. Spread at seventeen and app on Sunday which feels disrespectful in the NFL, but it is the Texans, and I'm just going to pile right on top of that because I have eighteen points.

This is a nice, big win for the Cowboys for me because of their defense when I look to see what's going on with this offense. Yeah, look, David Pearce is a nice story and all, but like outside of that, it seems like I don't know, a lot of confusion, a lot of question marks. Kyle Allen, They're just it just got Davis Mills back. Come on, I was about to say I didn't work out. Are you sad? I

mean you wanted more? No, I think Davis was should send like a handwritten like beautiful Christmas presents of Kyle Allen. It made who made Davis Mills look better than Kyle Allen? Well, you know who's gonna make a often look bad. The Cowboys defense a nice eight team point win. I love them. Like McCarthy was like, don't take the cheese. What did you call this like a cheese game? That sounds cross but because this bread is so big, he was like, no,

don't fall for it. This is cheese game. That's definitely not what he called it. I'm gonna look it up on commercial and I will clarify on the other side. It's a perfect obviously loves cheese. Okay, the time for the Drive to Excellence presented by Mercedes Benz. The Bengals have looked like the team we expected them to be entering the season. Since losing in the Browns back in Week eight, they have won four in a row. Greg,

can they keep it rolling this week? I believe they can and I don't think it's going to be close. I have the Browns twenty seven to four. Joe Burrow the Bengals of know what, I don't know. If something happens when the when the Bengals all the Browns play like weird things happened. The Bengals suddenly turned into a bad team. They've lost five street. But Joe Burrow told me that Bengals were a great team two weeks ago

when they beat the Titans. He said, that's the type of game that great teams win, and that spoke to me. I I kind of agreed with him. It was a playoff atmosphere is physical. The next week they beat the Chiefs. Only a great team can beat the Chiefs. Three straight times. You know what great teams don't do is lose to the Browns six straight times. And you might think like, oh, there's different players. No, they beat them last year with Baker Mayfield forty one to sixteen. They beat them earlier.

This year the Browns did thirty three to fourteen. But there's been a downgrade at quarterback in Cleveland and that's going to help. I have the Bengals winning this one too. I have twenty one, the maybe the most normal football score I've ever pretty normal. No one can say anything to me about this. I want to talk about lu on a Rumo and this Bengals defense in Week thirteen. You know what we saw pressure? You know what we else? We saw defensive backs getting back and coverage. You know

what else we saw turnovers. These are really good things for defenses, and these are things that are susceptible areas for that Brown's offense. We saw the Brown's offense have an interesting outing last time. This defense is going to be able to capitalize that on that and make sure that they stay nice and pole position here. Even if a few people are missing on their offense. I still think big Jamar Chase Day, big te higginsteon big running

back day. It's gonna it's great. Interesting is a nice way to describe the Browns offense last week, Like stank could be another way nasty, and it was. It was a regret for me because I picked the Chiefs last week, and like, like you said, Joe Burrow just came to me in a vision and he was like, just like that, so good. We will dominate you. We are world destroyers, and your distinctiveness will be added to that of our own. Resistance is futal. It's all Bengals. I'm not picking the Bengals,

picking against the Bengals. I'll add one point to Cynthia's score for the Browns. But I would also like to talk about this defense, Cynthia, specifically Trey Hendrickson. You saw at the end of that Chief's clip him chasing around Patrick Mahomes where he does that weird dad run thing that nobody can seem to stop. Trey Hendricksson did that, and he's got nine quarterback pressures and his last three games just a big part of this Bengals defense and a big part of the reason they maybe the best

team in the NFL right now. Rachel that's that's a big statement. I love that I actually picked the Bengals last week. Thank you doing it again, okay, and I got a huge win. Thirty one is seventeen. Like we said, like Greg said, they haven't been the Browns, but this has got to be one of the more confident times that they have walked into this game and said, you know what, we can do this off of the heels of a win against the Chiefs again and you're facing

the offense that is rusty at best. They still have not clicked in, And I don't know if it's happening this weekend seventeen for the Bengals over the Browns. Okay, two playoff teams from a year ago meeting in the desert this week this year. You probably not so much. The Cardinals have had a week off to think about the way their game ended against the Chargers. Probably still doesn't feel good. Time doesn't heal all. The Patriots are slight favorites in this one. Patrick, do you agree should

they be the favorite? I do not agree. I've got the Arizona Cardinals winning this one to twenty two, because you know, the Cardinals are a consistent team. The offensive spotty, but that also describes the New England Patriots. And the thing about the Cardinals is they've got everybody playing now for the first time this season. You've got Hollywood Brown, You've got Kyler Murray, James Conner, and New Hopkins all on the field. I think there's too much talent for

them to be underachievers. Vance Joseph was saying that the Patriots called plays like a defensive coach was calling the plays, which is true, and it wasn't like a snide remark. If people wasn't saying that derisively. It's just the state of the Patriots offense. And I agree it's it's not fun. I've got the Cardinals winning man, it's rough out here for the Matt Patricia Patriots advanced Joseph's taken shots. I'm still taking the Patriots. I don't feel good about either

of these teams. How could you? But I do feel good about Bill Belichick's ability to scramble bad offensive lines. And that's one thing hasn't been talked about in Arizona this year. Josh uch A and Matthew Judean will pick on this offensive line. They have been missing three to four starters upfront all year, and Kyler Murray really struggles against pressure. How about bet in the edge, They're making a big play against Josh Allen. He's finally stepping up

in his third year. Judan has been fantastic, and they really pick on mismatches on their defensive line, and they get Jude on in spots where he can make sacks. And I just think this offensive life for Arizona is their kryptonite, and the Patriots are really good at beating flawed offensive Let's get it done. I'm with you on the fact that their offensive line is their kryptonite. But I definitely think the run game is specifically the joint effort of Kyler Murray. Oh Mac Jones can do whatever

to say whatever he wants. I have the Cardinals winning in this match one. In this matchup, Kyler Murray and James Connor together both have the ability to get the heck away from Matt Judean and from Josh Uch. I don't think that they're fun to play against. I don't want to try to have to have them sack anyone, but I think they're outside rushes and the ability to scramble and get away from that little book leg that he's like Kylin Murray does and then he like somehow

gets it to James Conner. Anyways, people don't talk enough about James Conner and his ability to shape and change this game to impact the outcome. James Conner and he's, like Loki, one of my better players, maybe top ten running back for the rest of the season. So this is a it's a big gif it to me. The model always loves the Cardinals, the model of Cardinals to Cardinals coming off. But I know, I didn't know that

Van's Joseph had said anything. I didn't know about that talking trash bit, but I don't like that of the Patriots best offensive player, they're speaking of trashock. As soon as you said run game. It just made me flashback to Mac Jones freak young out on the sideline, and maybe there's some expletives there, but I'm with Gregg. Maybe he's a little bit fired up. The Cardinals have been letting people put up some points here, folks, and since it's the Patriots and it is Mac Jones, I still

have what we got here. Fourteen to ten, not a lot, not a lot, but so I trust we talked about, you know, trusting the Cardinals. I trust Bill Belichick's I trust you, Rachel. I think we're aligned on everything. I think, so I think interesting. There you go, there you have it. Okay, coming up next? We were talking, uh Patrick Momes taken on let's rad Broncos. Oh boy, here it comes anyway. I don't know she could save the Brons and a Sunday football. Oh yeah, we'll see, right and early, only

a couple of games left to talk about. Week fourteen, Seahawks are three and a half point favorites at home against the Panthers. Greig, who I like the Seahawks. I'm not that confident because of other aspects of the team that are not Gino Smith. But Gino Smith is still there. It's twenty so we're threatened the needle here. And I want to give Ben McAdoo a shout out. Ben McAdoo and I have a lot in common. We've always believed in Gino Smith. We've both put our careers on the

line with our belief in Gino Smith. Ben mcado actually lost his job, so I guess more at stake for him. Remember when he played Gino Smith back in two thousand and whatever it was was seventeen, Gino Smith goes in starts a game against the Radar. The next week they fired Ben McAdoo. They apologize to Eli Manning so much that they waste another year and a half starting him. And here's Ben McAdoo and his career has changed, and now he's in Carolina talking up how he knew Gino

Smith was great all along. He paid the ultimate price, but he was right. And it does feel good to be right, Ben McAdoo. But it's not going to feel good on Sunday because he's gonna beat the Panthers. Yes, I love that. I love that. Sound might okay, we'll have the Seahawks a little bigger. I have eighteen over the Panthers because of both DK mecalf and Tyler Lockett. And I look at this secondary for Carolina. They have some good pieces and their safeties are good, but I've

also seen some weird things in coverage. And when you give these guys space, that is not a really good thing to do, because Gino will find them, and especially if there's space, Gina, we'll find them and then they'll end up in the end zone. Like good luck stopping them. Once those freight trains start running, especially with how big DK Metcalf is. So I'm watching to see if these corners can do anything that I think is going to be even a little bit scary to me. It's like,

which one are you going to pick? Maybe a slighter better chance for Tyler Lockett to score touchdown, but I mean six of one half margin from you, Yeah, it's a it's a pretty margin. I have the Seahawks covering as well twenty three to nineteen. And I also I'm looking at this Panthers secondary because the defense has played pretty well in the past few weeks, but look at who they played. They played the Broncos, uh, the struggling offense of the Ravens as well as the Atlanta Falcons.

I think the Seahawks cover here mainly because, like Cynthia said, the the issues in that secondary dealing with K as well as Tyler Lockett, but mainly DK Metcalf because as good as J. C. Horne has been in coverage this season, coming up and making tackles has been a problem. And Gina is absolutely willing to feed the ball to DK and have him try to push people over. It's very consistent. It's why he leads the team and catches as well. Tyler Lockett fills them in yards. But Gina is gonna

feed DK Seahawks cover and went in home. I got another huge way. This point might be one of my bigger wins of the week. I've got the Seahawks thirty to fourteen. It's supposed to be thirty to fourteen. Uh you know, I paid really close attention to that Seahawks Rams game. What was that last weekend? The Rams put up a fight against the Seahawks, specifically Bobby Wagon. That was a Super Bowl game right there, and the offense kept going. They grinded it out and they got that win,

that hard fought win. Okay, that's time for quick picks. Enough of this, enough of these Shenanigans. Jackson Titans, both teams coming off embarrassing losses. Greg who gets back on track? I think it's the Titans because the Jaguars defense is second most expensive defense in the league, is quietly one of the worst defenses in the league. So I think the Titans get a lot of points. Seven seventeen. So much money spent, so much wasted money spent in Jacksonville.

It's almost like they have a GM in Trent Valkey that shouldn't have kept his job the same. I think, Wow, he's got almost as many a's in his name as you have. Maybe and he says waste in this nice Trevor Lawrence season. Hopefully Trevor Lawrence plays in this game. He's questionable, but I think he'll play. But either way, t A win. Okay, San The Broncos are so bad. The NFL flex Patrick Mahomes out of prime time. That's so bad. It's gotten Chiefs win. But by how much? Well,

right now, I have to twelve. Twelve is an awfully low score. That's not a good score. It rarely happens to be that low because you know, you aggregate lots and lots of outcomes. Twelve is a very rare score for me to have. So when I'm looking at this, I think that means good things for the run game, specifically Isaiah Pachecko. When I look to see how these

Kansas City running backs have evolved. In Pacheco's evolution in this rookie season, it's really important that they keep him kind of learning how to look at different things in navigating different situations. You can also run against this Broncos defense. So for me, it doesn't get any higher, any more lopsided than that, because I think that this is going to be a ground and pound. A lot of run game situation for the Chiefs are real good. Outing for

Isaiah Pacheckoday's giving. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. I mean, that's all points from the Broncos that improved. That's average score for it would take it down just a bit, it would almost be close to average. That's why I put fift. Like how many how many points do we give the Broncos? Like, right, you give him seven? You know what, the Chiefs defense isn't very good this year. I am a little confend about the Chief's defense. And if you watched, you squinted real close, you actually saw

Russell Wilson played like a little better last week. I know you only scored n I know that Courtland Sutton is not playing. I know that just Ut can be a little upset this week. You know, I have a podcast. It's called Bench with Banetta. You should listen sometime. We record on Thursday afternoons. Okay, so we can't ever time. We're always like wow, that game, sure it was crazy, but not this week. I said, we record on Thursday. After days, let's make some bold predictions, and we predicted this.

We said, Hollywood Baker, welcome to Los Angeles. Uh. In the entire game, we were sweating it out because we're wrong, and it's time to write this down in week fourteen. This is another thing that I am predicting. Rock Party does a great job. He goes over a hundred ninety seven and a half passing yards. I believe he had over two hundred last week against the Dolphins. So that's

what I like. I love it. Oh, well, I'm next, and I'm looking at Travis Kelsey because every time Andy Reid's players have something weird happened, he gets them back on track. So seven receptions check it off, seventy one and a half yards more than that. Both of those things are going to happen because last game did not end the way that you usually see Travis Kelsey and games with Patrick Mahomes. So let's get the rust stuff. Figure it out early in the Isaia Pachecker runs the

ball for the rest of the game. Yes, my write this down is that there will be assinine conversations about two of versus Herbert no matter who wins. Kidding umte down Murray. That's going on right now. Latavius Murray goes over fifty rushing yards against Kansas City when he gets the ball. Generally, when he's gotten the ball seventeen two more times he's hit that number. So I think he hits that number for the people this week, Like, Wow, what a NATS pick? My I write this down is

about our friend Rachel over here. Actually, and we've been on the same page in terms of our picks this week. But not all your takes are good. You've been in the take industry too long, and no you didn't end. Here's here's the problem. You're turning into skip bayliss here with your take. And this is your Lebron James came down from Canada one way and yourself and James. But I'm saying, like this takes James. He's saying is Lebron,

which Lebron should have a feeling about. I mean he should feel great because soup is are single cuisine or do I gotta walk it back? I will be on it. I gotta come clean about something. After I tweeted this out, got a little sick. The next day. I learned some months ball soup. Oh did you like it? It was good? That makes you feel better. Okay, it was fine, but I still don't think you should beating soup in the summer. It's not every cuisine everything. It's got any things to

dip in it. I had a piece of bread. It was fine. It was fine. I take it back, it wasn't good. It was fine. I feel better getting that off my We'll see you guys next week.
