You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak no text Out's got a hundred trucks out there, Brian and away the freeways that they will have, I don't know if they're doing it now one hundred. Don't they have like two trucks. I saw a hundred trucks. Really, That's what I've been seeing on the news. So they're ready, yeah to getting We're ready this time. Get some Brian out there on the road to try
to make it a little easier again. Doesn't look it's going to be a problem until Monday, and Monday and Tuesday, I think there's going to be our issues. First part of the cold front hit here, going wan back up into the forties today and then get any cold and it'll be cold, you know, undred thirty degrees on you know, Sunday morning and things like that. We know he told us it's going to be good times. You
know, people just tune in and out all day. You know, if you spoke as passionately about the weather as you do bottle caps, I know, I know people would take your projections more seriously. Dude. We start show at six am and we podcast every segment after the show, so you can have that if you can get to it within twenty four hours. I'd give you a pat on the back if I could. That'd be cool. We've such a lot all week. I've had super wild Card pump sessions with
Cowboys win. Next week we'll have divisive divisional round pump sessions hopefully. But we wanted to do a betting card. He's back to bet and have a little fun and talk about these other games. I've talked about the other games too, and I mean, the NFL is the one thing we all watch,
you know, as a community. So two one four or eight one seven seven eight seven one nine seven to one, if you'd like to call in and join us and pick a horse here and we'll bet these games with you, because this is gonna be, as Mike was saying earlier, the most insane NFL Wildcard weekend ever in terms of weather. Yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, every outdoor game right on. The outdoor games are at Kansas City, at Buffalo, and at Tampa, and the other three at Detroit, at Dallas, at Houston obviously controlled environments, but the three outdoor ones are gonna be fun to watch, and that includes the Tampa game on Monday night eighty eight percent chance of thunderstorms eighty eight those models are high. That means it's gonna rain. Now oftentimes with the rain, you know, if
you just get a little bit, you can barely tell on TV. It doesn't affect the game all that much. But they're expecting thick boys, big thunderstorms that night, muddy, muddy, and they won't stop a game due to rain, but they will do to lightning. Yeah, you know, muddy might be good for the Eagles. Yeah, if you think about it. Maybe we'll get to that in a minute. When we start picking these games and things like that. So I put on then a little ballot here.
I put the lines on there so we have them, and basically, do we have do we have three colors? If we don't we have we have two? All right, we'll play for two, but we got two. One more so someone else calling you jump and right now and you go into a sap and they're just picking who they want at us three and then we're making our picks and then if they win, if we win, they win. I will say this real quick about the domes, like do you
have an opinions? I heard Jeff and Mike Reiner yesterday on the Speakeasy and Julie going at it yeah about I can't believe how much they hate each other on that show. Finally weird. It's NonStop between those But there was like something about the h they were talking about. Jeff does not like football games playing the elements the exactingly should be in the dome, and I disagree. I think there's a good balance of teams that have domes and teams that don't,
you know, just kind of the way it is there. I kind of like how it is the random of nature that we we're gonna get some uh sat first a Saturday, we're gonna get a dome game in an outdoor game. I love that and I kind of want all of that action. But you guys have a thought on that, do you like? I don't have a strong opinion. I guess I don't think, but I know I like it when there's chaos weather games. Yeah, means for like fun viewership.
But I wonder if you know now because they're still building new open air stadiums and it's just regional. It's a good balance, but it is odd that like Buffalo New England, New York are all open air stadiums and we have a dome. Well, we have a dome because of the heat, the heat dome because to avoid the heat. Yeah, but that's only a couple first couple of weeks of the season that it we have. They to
milder weather than they do from the months of September to February. Yeah, because it doesn't rain a bunch down here, not a lot, right, And like Kansas City, Denver all open air seattle like most of every in Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, I mean northern teams with domes is just Minnesota, Detroit, Indianapolis. Well also like yeah and Detroit and Minneapolis. There's the Bears are about to build a dome, I think, are they field? I think because they're going to get rid of that and they get a
new stadium plan or whatever. I think they'll probably put it at least a roof on it, which I hate like that. The Southern like Dallas, Houston, Arizona, is retractable. I guess. Yeah, New Orleans, it's all about hosting games, hosting super Bowls. That's what the events. It's the multi purpose stadiums, right, Yeah, No, I get I get it, and it makes the year round. You know, you can do anything at at AT and T but obviously Miami and Tampa are open air.
Yeah, Rose Bowl. You know they still host Super Bowls? Yeah? Do they? Well they know they don't, but it's because everyone is going to started the rat race of a new stadium. Yeah. So yeah. I don't have a I don't think it should be uniform, but I wonder if in fifty years every game will just be played inside. Let's get our callers here. We got three? Uh jj, who we got? First year? Hi? What's your name? Hey? Michael Grayball? What's there? He is? Hi? Mike and Grapevine. Choose your horse,
Mike, Danny or Kevin? Oh well, I do like all of your horses and horse options, but I'm gonna have to go with otisel KT All right, fool. I won't let you down, Mike. If me and you win these, nobody gets more butt hurt about not getting picked first than the sea cat. All we do is hang w's, we hang banners. We send people to see Luke Bryan and disturbed and helmet and helmet and they just don't want to win stuff. Well, Mike, I got you buddy.
You're my dude, and I'm gonna I'm gonna pick these games with the integrity that you want, and then we'll see if if we do well, we'll send you off to Luke Bryan, let's seek go to our next callar here. Hello, you're on the freak. What's your name? What? Fart Man? Hey? Fart Man? Hello? Hi, what's your name? Hey? Boys? Brody, did you just rip a gas mom when you picked up the phone? My seatbelt off? This is our Brody,
our wrestling expert. He's been in studio to preview what wrestle wrestlem WrestleMania Summer Slam. We did a little Terry Funk tribute. You know, I'm a jack of all trades as long as that trade is wrestling. I wonder who Brody's going to pick. It's gonna be a tough decision. I do love you, Daniel, because you do look like Sergel Simpson. But we're going shale all the way, my guy. I just strapped a couple of plates of coconut shrimp to my tires. We should be good for Monday. Late.
Brian is Brian is the secret to safe travels during the winter storms. Brody, You've made a wise decision and you need to get ready to either go to see Luke Bryant or give the tickets to someone who wants to go. And don't forget the shredded coconut adds extra traction on slick roads, also delicious. I'm sorry I interrupted you. What were you saying? I said that we're going to pay that as forward. There's no way I'm going to Luke Bryant. Well, the option will be yours, my friend. May
many gun through chest slaps greet you in the near future. God, it's got chobbed up here in that thank you? All right, all right, we gotta put Danny. Just leave him on. Hi. What's your name? You're on the freak? Hello? Hi? Are you tending sheet? What's going on out there? Oh? We got another collar? Have we got another one? Good morning? Hi? Hey, how you're on the freak? Don't yell? Well, be patient. I'm just trying to get the damn thing going here. Okay, Danny's playing for God? Is there
anyone else they have? Danny? Yah? Yeah, and put them on because I want them to make the picks. I don't want to do this. All right, let's go. I want to talk about these games. You want to go in order? Yeah, Saturday three thirty NBC number wild Card Pump session number five Cleveland at number four, Houston and we have Houston favored or Houston getting two and a half points. Yes, the first rookie quarterback and head coach combo in Houston. Let's see J Stroud and Dimiko ryans
Uh. I kind of love I'll go first. I have a pick and I love it here. And I don't know, maybe I'm falling into the public here, but I am all over c J. Stroud. He might be the dude. Like his last two big boy stage games were last year's college football semifinals Ohio State and they lost to Georgia, but it was he was flawless in that game. And then he gets picked super early and then lead must win against Indy last week. Dude, I think he's the dude.
And much like the Cowboys, the Browns kind of suck on the road. They're really good at home, but they're not that good on the road. I'm all over Houston getting points here. Give me the okay, I'm on the Stroud wagon too. If you want to get my pick, yep, yep. I'm taking them. I at home in a dome, let's go. Yeah. I always pull I watched this game. I'll be pulling for them. But I think I'm going to go with Cleveland because there's something
weird going on with Joe Flacco and Amari Cooper as well. The last time they played three weeks ago, Mary Cooper had two hundred and sixty five yards against the Texans, and I don't know that they're gonna be able to stop that. I think it could work out. I mean, this is like two hundred and sixty five yards receiving. The Houston past defense is bad,
and Joe Flacco and the Browns have basically said screw it. We're playing aggressive and we're just launching the ball since Nick Chubb got hurt, and that's kind of the way they play. I'm going Cleveland minus two and a half. That's a good team who lost their quarterback and then their second and third quarterback and got a couch guy and they're kicking ass. Cleveland mist two and a half for me, good luck, good luck. Now, the prop that we have on this one, though, will Joe Flacco have a pass of
more yards than his age he's thirty nine years old. Will he have a pass of more than thirty eight yards? Because he's thirty eight? He will be uh turning thirty nine next week, so he's thirty eight. Will he have a pass of more than thirty eight and a half yards? I think it'll be fairly high scoring. And I'm gonna go with over his age on Joe Flacco's longest pass, Danny under Under. I'm gonna go over Mary Cooper the Bombski where we do it Saturday night, we got a Peacock one.
People will worked up about this one. Yes Peacok, I'm so pissed, So you're not gonna watch it now. I'm gonna download stupid Peacock and then cancel the next day. Okay, I've already seen it again. This is interesting. I looked up a little bit on the peacock angle out like I shouldn't even do it right now, But anyway, you can't get Peacock for
a day. You have to get it for the month. That'll be six bucks if you want to watch this game, which yes, if I could hang you six dollars, and it's worth it, I mean obviously me, I'm already have it, but I would do it anyway. Yeah, it's
interesting, man. They're hoping this has a chance to become the most streamed sports event in history, that currently is held by the November thirtieth Cowboys Seahawks game, which is on Amazon. I don't think it's gonna beat that because they'd have to get a lot of one month subscriptions for this bad boy to work. But I think NBC essentially paid one hundred and ten million dollars to
do this game. Yeah, and the NFL did reward them with a pretty good game over the weekend, and they could have dumped a Houston Cleveland on them, you know, in three old guard games. Yeah, and they'll get one next week two right, so pretty good. Yeah, it works out the enough for NBC. But it's just very very interesting that this damn game is streaming. It's the first of any of the major sports to air
a playoff game only on a subscription streaming service. I saw tweet get it tweeted into the timeline, and it was like someone had retweeted and his own bitch, and now you're just gonna go to the bar to watch the game, and can even watch it at home and it's like, well, if you go to the bar, you'll probably spend more than six dollars at the bar right than he would spend it at home. And I just think you
should watch every episode of Saturday Night Live that ever existed. Yeah, that I'm thinking about doing that because next year they're fifty years or so off seasons. Bro, you've never seen I'm sure woe all right? Dolphins at Chiefs. What's the line currently to have Dolphie plus four and a half dude projections right now? Model show three degrees is going to be the game time temperature when chill approaching minus thirty? That is so stupid minus thirty geez. Dolphins
have lost ten straight games when kickoff temperature is forty degrees or below. So, as much as we know they're not all from Miami, you're not born and raised in Dade County, there's still something there when it's forty or below. Now, granted, I guess you're playing a lot of those at Buffalo and that's just a good team, but they do not perform well because it's all you have to factor in. If they're playing and it's below forty degrees, it's a road game. So you have to factor in that. It's
a little bit, but still ten straight ye. Dolphins already played the Chiefs this year, Chiefs one in Germany. There are a lot of factors. I'm a Dolphin fan, but Dolphins face this year Buffalo twice, Philadelphia, Dallas, Kansas City, and Baltimore. That's six games against playoff teams, one in five with a minus ninety one differential in those games. Dolphins are annihilated by injury right now. Xavian Howard is out, Bradley Chubb is out,
Jalen Phillips is out. Even Andrew van Ginkel, who's a no name but he's really good for them out. Waddle and Moster are back, but they're not. One hundred per weather injuries history to him making his first playoff start, coaching experience, all point to Kansas City. Give me the Miami Dolphins plus four and a half efort. Yes, let's go. But I highly recommend you guys and everyone else betting with your heart. Wow, your
corroded Asshart. I don't care. I don't care man. I wanted to take I don't care about Brody. I wanted to take Miami with the points because I was thinking man, they'll they'll win by a field goal. The Chiefs will but not cover. But dude, everything that you just said, it would be a fool not to take Kansas City. So I'm going to take Casey smart Well, and you take the people who know how to play on that field. Tyreek Hill might be the one guy for the Dolphins that
does not to play in that field. You know what's in bad conditions. Homes does what to do there. Travis Kelsen knows what to do there. Their wide receivers are so bad and probably are gonna have some drops and it probably is gonna be close. I think the Dolphins have enough to keep it close, especially if they can run the ball effectively. That Chiefs defense is good, and I remember watching that game in Germany back in the regular season.
I'm gonna have lean Chiefs here because they've just got the edge on defense, and that's what's gonna kind of matter in this game. The chief four and a half. But what will be shown first, Tyreek Hill with the Chiefs or Taylor Swift up in the press box video of tire Hill playing for the Chiefs or Taylor Swift yes, like you mean on the field, or just him like jumping up and down on the sidelines. Does that count like an old No? Like a clip? I'm dominating as a chief? Oh
okay, okay, I got you. Is this with the Chiefs? My bad? My bad? Is this kick kick to whistle? Or is pre game kick to whistle? Because I'm not gonna I'm watch pre game. You know what, Give me Taylor Swift. This is the damn playoffs. This is peacock hell. They are hoping some people will get it. Just look at Taylor Swift. Yeah. I think you'd probably be pretty deep into the
game before you started seeing any Tyreek Hill highlights with Kansas City. So give me Taytay, I too will say Taylor Swift, especially given the news that Danny reported in Dingha's Morning News, the breaking news the Travis and Taylor are allegedly going to get engaged this summer. This summer, might go ahead and do the deal. Let's do a Steelers and Bills, and then we'll take a brief respite and come back with Cowboys Backers. Okay, Pittsburgh at Buffalo
noon CBS on Sunday, Buffalo minus nine and a half. I told you the weather on every outdoor game is gonna be nuts. And as much as the Chiefs and Dolphins playing at a minus thirty wind chill is crazy, this one might be work just as as bad because they're saying a high of twenty four degrees, which fine, wind's gusting near fifty miles an hour piece, Louise, Oh my god, fifty and nothing impacts a game more than a
wind. That over under started at forty three. I think it's down to thirty five in this game, and that's the game with the fairly high powered Bill's offense. So I'm thinking, let it blow, let it blow, let it blow, trash weather, clunky game. Bills win. But if the over unders thirty five, I'll take nine and a half points. So'll give me the Steelers plus nine and a half. I have a feeling that's
going to be all of our mindset. With an over under at thirty five, you said, and you're expecting Buffalo to cover nine and a half right room there? Yeah, there's not a lot of room. I think the logical choice is Pittsburgh. I wanted to go different than you guys, but I'm gonna do the same. Because Mason Rudolph also played some games in Oklahoma State, and he is just a big wing it throw a deep guy whenever
he can. He's not a good quarterback at all, but they can get the explosive plays, slippery field George Pickens play could see that happening and then having enough, Buffalo is gonna win though. Is he still wearing helmet on a helmet? Yeah? He is? Is he really? I don't think so? Remember their plus nine and a half? Yeah? All of us? Yeah? Will a player do the snow angel touchdown celebration? That's hard touchdowns celebrations. See if you what about your turnover run to the end zone
snow angel. Okay, it's not a touchdown, I would say no, it's gotta be a tou touchdown celebrate. Okay that I'm saying no. If you were a angel touchdown celebration, Okay, I'm going no Angel because there
might not be any touchdowns. Yeah, I'm gonna say yes. I love it because even a guy Breeze Hall scored for the Jets the other day, tiptoes into the end zone and was gonna do his normal and then he realized, oh yeah, it's a snow game, and that after like three seconds of doing his normal celebration goes oh, and then he fell to the around and started doing it because it's you have to. So I'm gonna say, yes, can I have one hundred and one odds on the snow Devil?
Oh? What would that be? It's like an angel, but you don't put your arms out near as far. You make it tighter like he's wearing. Like you're in a cape and you have to put your hands above your head and slice horns above where the head was, and it'll be called the snow devil under to one odds snow Jesus. You just hold your arms straight out and then do a circular like snow hello over your head. I was like the Crosstres on the Cross. He's Kevin Turner, that's Dandy Baylists.
My name is Mike Siroy. We're sort of in the midst of a Super Bowl or a Super wild Card Super Pomp session. We're gonna kick off the next segment with I guess officially what we think is gonna go down in Green Bay Green Bay Cowboys on Sunday afternoon, and we'll cover the other two games rams Detroit. I'm telling you got a hot one there, and then we'll get to Philly and Tampa Bay Monday Night. It's football for a reason. On ninety seven to one, the Freak
