Welcome in What Driving Nick Great Episode three ninety six. This episode, as always, is presented to you by our friends at Boost Mobile on this holiday week, So a little bit of a different schedule this week. Today's show obviously as normally planned. However, this will be a two show week, not a three show week. Because of Thanksgiving. We will have our pick show that will come out Wednesday.

So Wednesday we will drop our week thirteen picks after a very successful Week twelve pick show that got us above five hundred on the year, demands back to five hundred. With the teasers, we were this close to Were we this close to a three and oh weekend? I think we were. I'm gonna double check. Uh yeah, I mean this close to a three and oh weekend or a five and oh weekend. Pardon me? We ended three one and one. We'll discuss that on the PIC show. Demonse's

teaser covered easily. So all that coming to you Wednesday, and I will be flying out on Wednesday to Los Angeles and to see Demanse, to see baby Mila, and maybe as early as next week, Demonse could be back to the pods, certainly before the stretch run of the NFL season, but a ton to do today, and unlike last week, the Chiefs are not coming off a devastating, heart wrenching, keep me up at night loss, So we will start with the Chiefs instead of with the NBA.

I know that it annoyed some of you last week. I want to make this clear. It's totally legitimate that it annoyed some of you last week. It would have annoyed me too. But you know what to my damn show Straight to voicemail brought to you by boost Mobile. Luca not megging old man Kevin Love. Can somebody get Kevin Love out of Utah and get him on a

team that has a pulse? Please? Actually, Utah, to be fair, has a bit of a pulse, but on a team that could maybe you know, at least he could have a little more fun on Jamis has the play of the year catching a touchdown pass and the Pistons shout out Greg Jennings he needed to win. This week, the Pistons match their franchise record win streak at thirteen. A remindered all of you in this holiday season, the single best gift you can give us is subscribing to the show,

whether that be on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify. Honestly, best case scenario for us subscribe on YouTube and then also whatever your favorite audio platform is. We do greatly appreciate that it's just an added bonus if you like, rate, or like or rate the show, but really the subscriptions do

help us out. So we start with the Chiefs saving their season, because while they would not have been mathematically eliminated, and I probably would have even convinced myself, well, if they just go six and zero down the stretch, they'll make the playoffs, which what is true, by the way, eleven wins almost assuredly will get am Man and five and six they would have still been alive. For eleven wins,

that would have been a season ending loss. Dominating the time of possession, dominating the yardage battle, and just not making championship plays would have signaled that this Chiefs team simply doesn't have the juice of Chiefs teams in years past. Thankfully, however,

they are the Chiefs. They do still have Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones and Andy Reid, and despite fumbling inside the five yard line while trailing by eleven in the fourth quarter, they then played perfect defensive football good but not great offensive football, and it was enough to potentially derail is probably too strong, but really throw a wrench in this magical indie season and give Kansas City a chance to in forty eight hours be for the first

time or just the second time all year two games above five hundred really have their head above water and be able to have them any by. Take a deep breath before a very difficult stretch run of final five games, two of which are cupcakes the Titan and the Raiders, and three of which are teams fighting for exactly what the Chiefs are fighting for, AFC playoff spots and AFC playoff seeding with games against the Texans, Chargers, and Broncos. So how did they do it? Because right now they

are still the ten seed. They went into the week the nine seed, but they come out of the week despite the win the ten seed because every because the Texans won, the Chargers were off, the Jags won. We'll get to those games later. So how did they do it? They did it because the defense absolutely shut down start to finish. Jonathan Taylor in one of the most impressive

defensive performances any team has had all year. They allowed twenty but seven of them were on a drive that started at the three thanks to Patrick's interception, and so to essentially hold the highest scoring, highest yardage, most efficient offense in the NFL to thirteen points without forcing a turnover is just a remarkable job by that Chiefs defense.

And for the Colts to have the ball up eleven and go run, pass pass, and then have the ball up three and go pass, pass pass, and then have the ball up three again and go pass pass pass before you go to overtime and you go pass run, It's just it is a testament to the fact that the Chiefs defense was able to convince the Colts by the fourth quarter of this game, you're simply not going

to get Jonathan Taylor going. But it also and it also was a testament to the fact that the Chiefs defense, right or wrong, simply said Daniel Jones, go ahead and beat us. We don't think you can, and he couldn't.

And that gave the Chiefs offense and Patrick just enough bites at the apple that they were able to overcome a really sloppy game, not just the turnovers, but the red zone inefficiency, the missed open guys and the hurky jerky name of the offense and Rashi Rice in the second half of that game, really, for the first time, maybe since his suspension, certainly since his first game back from the suspension, looked like the player that we saw at the end of his rookie year and the beginning

of last season before he got injured, which is just a dynamic, elite yard after catch player. Xavier Worthy made a huge play. Noah freaking Gray made a catch while unconscious, which is still one of the more remarkable feats of this NFL season, and the Chiefs offense did just enough against the Lounarumo Colts defense to where they're now stabilized. By the way that is now four consecutive wins by Patrick against lou Anarumo, his alleged kryptonite four wins in

a row. After losing the first three games he faced against him, he's now one four straight. But the story of the game is the defense. The fact that the Colts had thirteen to three and outs all year going into that game, which is remarkable, and I don't know how many they had total in the game, but I do know they had four straight to end the game. And Chris Jones, who has been I think it's fair to say underwhelming this year. Picked a hell of a

time to make his biggest impact. And listen, I know I was watching the game with Danny, and Danny was you know, we were talking about the Chiefs and whether or not, you know, I think they have another gear and just why I think the offense hasn't looked quite as good. And I made the point and this maybe this is an excuse, maybe it's a justification, but there's

just not a lot of comparisons for it. I made the point of I do think the Chiefs, and this can apply to the coaches and the players have to play a different style and a different brand of football than every other team in the league because they are going on what they hope is their eighth consecutive twenty game season and the ability to peek at the end of the year, to have your key guys healthy at the end of the year, to have enough juice left

in the tank. And I bring that up with Chris because it is totally fair to say Chris Jones has not lived up this season to his reputation, to his contract, to you know, all of those things. But also, and I know this is not apples to oranges. But when you see the impact one twenty game, super high usage season has on a guy like Saquon Barkley and more on him and a bit. And you see the Lions, it's like, man, couple really good years and now they

seem to be scuttling a bit. The Rams, who have been unbelievable, had a you know, in the midst of from when they won the Super Bowl to right now where they are, you know, the Super Bowl favorites, they had a year where they won what six games where it all came apart for a season, And so listen, maybe Chris was just not playing well, or maybe there is a level of Man, I'm a thirty something year old d tackle that's played the equivalent of eight seasons in the last seven and I need to make sure

I have a gear that I can get to come Thanksgiving time. I don't know, I just do know that by year eight of the Patriots run, So the Patriots initial run one through eight, they had a year in there where they missed the playoffs. They had another year in there where they lost in round their first playoff game. They had another year in there where they lost in Round two, and then eight they missed the playoffs entirely

when Tom gets hurt. Nine to ten are disappointing short playoff runs, don't make a conference championship game, and then from eleven to eighteen they go on their eight straight conference championship appearances, five Super Bowls, three victories, which is, you know, the Chiefs have done the five Super Bowls three victories in seven years. And by twenty eighteen that team was leaking Sam oil. And by twenty nineteen they were done, just done, losing to Ryan Tannehill at home

in the playoffs type of done. And so I just I think it's very very difficult to watch the Chiefs and determine are they just not as good or you know, have have the games caught up to them, or are they likely as they have to be fair every other year of you know, as this dynasty has gotten to year five, six, seven, simply have an extra gear for the playoffs and for the late in the season. Now for Kansas City, the playoffs really have started. It's not

single elimination, but it's damn close to double elimination. And the Cowboys game is gonna be really hard. I don't think the Cowboys defense is quite as good as it has looked the last two weeks, but it's obviously improved, and that Cowboys offense is exceptional and really good. Pocket passing quarterbacks have given Kansas City some trouble as far as the inability to get off the field the inability to generate a pass rush, so I don't think that

Cowboys game is anything close to a cinch. However, I do think that if both the Cowboys and the Chiefs are coming off season saving for the time being, stirring home comebacks, and then a very short turnaround to what will be the most watched regular season game in the history of professional football, Cowboys Chiefs on Thanksgiving, I do think the Chiefs are more likely to handle the jubilation of the win and the short week and the stage.

They're more likely to handle that game with professionalism and attention that it deserves than Dallas's. And I also think that while the Chiefs offense has been uneasy or uneven, I should say when they have played bad defenses, they've looked exceptional thirty seven on the Ravens, twenty eight and should have been thirty eight on the Jags, thirty on the Lions, thirty one on the Raiders, twenty eight on

the Command. Now you can say the Bills have a bad defense, but the Bills bad defenses, it's run defense, and the Chiefs aren't really built to take advantage of that. So should be a great game. Cowboys barely holding on to any playoff hope. The Chiefs have real reason for optimism, but they gotta win Thursday. But it all would have been moot had they lost to the Colts. And the Colts, on the other hand, I called them the twenty twenty four Vikings early in the year, and I'll go ahead

and stand by that. And I think the Colts. I think they'll be fine. But what I do know is their final six, and they have my opinion. The Colts started looking three weeks ago. They lost to the Steelers. They got very fortunate to win against the Falcons in Berlin in overtime. They lost to the Chiefs, and now they go Texans, Jags, Seahawks, Niners, Jags, Texans. Six straight games against teams playing for something, four divisional games, three

total road games. Colts Colts need need a win on Sunday against a Texans defense that's going to be extra arrested and feeling the best it's felt all year, and they should have CJ Stroudback.

Gambling problem called one eight hundred gambler in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, or Virginia. All Right, the Eagles blew it against Dallas. There's no other way to put it. And the Eagles here is my takeaway honestly from that Eagles game. AJ Brown is not wrong. There is something wrong with Phillies offense. Philly's

offense this year has eight halves. They've played twenty four. Obviously, No, actually that's not obvious, and I think it's wrong because they've already had a buy. So they've played twenty two in eight of their twenty two halves, so more than a third they have scored seven or fewer points. They have three scoreless halves of football. Only the Titans are worse, and there are They do not have Saquon to save them this year. I know he's on the team, he

ain't saving them. And this was the most predictable year over year decline imaginable. Literally every running back save one in NFL history that has had Saquan's type of workload last year saw a significant drop the following year. A lot of guys that their production dropped by half. That's what we're staring at with Saquon. And while the passing game at times looks dynamic, they just can't string together

a whole game. And right or wrong, Siriani consistently shows us with his decision making that for some reason or another he does not fully trust Jalen and the end of the half was bizarre. You have eighteen seconds, you have the ball in the thirty and in today's NFL

you're twenty five yards away from field goal range. We know you think Jake Elliott's got a big leg because later in the game you was shoot a fourth and five attempt to kick a field goal, and Sirianni's explanation after the game was, well, the Cowboys kicker is such a big leg, we don't want to leave them time. There was eighteen seconds. There was no scenario at all except for a turnover where the Cowboys were gonna touch

the ball, much less kick a field goal. Even if you just threw four consecutive incomplete passes, that takes eighteen seconds. So that didn't make sense. And Philly is obviously in good shape because of the division they're in, so they're going to be a good seed, they're going to be a division champion. They still have three games left against the Commanders and Raiders. They're going to finish with a gaudy record. I'm not worried, honestly about any of those

those things. But the flashing siren that's been what is up with this offense continues to go off and now getting Lane Johnson back. If you get him back in a month or so, that should help. But he's only been gone one game. And if I'm Philly, here's the other thing that I hate about this loss. My path to the one seed is now so much trickier. In fact, I'm gonna look the wild has got me going to this is my go to But and I've always kind

of actually liked this. But I used to use Football Outsiders or Aaron Schatz's But the New York Times Playoff Predictor they have the Eagles at twenty six percent for the one seed, the Rams up to fifty seven percent. That's a big deal. The extra playoff game plus not having the huge edge of potentially a warm weather contender having to come to your building. And right now, the you know, projected playoff field of the Eagles being the two seed and hosting either the Lions or the Niners.

I would love either of those spots if I were Philly. And by the way, speaking of the Niners, just real quick, I have never been proven more right more times than every time the Niners trot out either mac Jones or Brock Purty or all of last season for what was once such a controversial hot button. Take that Brock Party is not a force multiplayer and is a Kyle Shanahan

Niners amazing skill position player creation. The last year seeing him without those great players, this year seeing Mac Jones outplay him, and then last night seeing him throw three picks. It's just every single time. And I know the arguments I've won because they start becoming less and less prominent

on the TV show. I'm like, Okay, the cost of being the annoying guy is when you just smoke, You're too much more likable co hosts in a multi year argument, you just have to you have to take the win, but take the win graciously, which I'm not always great at. So Philly, I I don't know. And here's the other piece. It can't all be on the offensive coordinator in Philly. I'm not saying Patullo is doing a great job, but if he's doing that bad of a job, then Sirianni takeover.

But you have an offensive minded head coach, you have a quarterback that carries himself like Michael Jordan. Figure it out. You have too much talent on that offense. That's an awful loss. And Dallas on the other hand, I right now the Quinn Williams trade is aging great. He's been excellent. I was not a fan of that trade. I still am not a fan of that trade, but right now it is looking really good. But the story for Dallas is Dak's been the second best quarterback in the NFL

this year. It's been Stafford one, Dak two. And it is as simple as that. He's been that good. And he has a legitimate second team All Pro case. And in that game Sunday, he became the Cowboys all time leading passer, which sounds about right. Hey, guys, you ever notice how everything keeps going up? Rents going up, streaming services are going up. Even your favorite Brio spot suddenly thinks they need to charge extra for Salza. But with boost Mobile, you and your phone bill don't have to

play though, will this go up soon? Game? Why? Because boost Mobile has unlimited talk, text and data plan at a price that will never go up. In fact, it's the same price you will pay for life. So switch now for unlimited wireless at a price that will never go up. Only at boost Mobile. After thirty gigs, customers may experience lower speeds. Customers will pay twenty five dollars per month as long as they remain active on the

Boost Unlimited plan. All right, Shure Sanders got the win and was named, at least for the time being, the starter. I thought it was noteworthy that they said Gabriel is cleared concussion protocol, but Shoudor is still the starter. That is obviously the right call, and I don't I find so much of the Shadore commentary to be disingenuous and idiotic that I try not to swim in those waters, even though, man oh man, if you are trying, if you are basing your Chadore takes off what gets engagement.

It's it's a very hard flame to avoid. So if you just I mean, this is anecdotal, obviously, but yesterday's uh First Thing's first clips on Twitter, if I'm just looking at it by retweets or comments, see and I'm not gonna say what the topics were, but just see if you can guess which one was the Shtore topic.

Number of retweets in comments total on the First Thing's First clips from yesterday's show Clip one one hundred and ninety nine, Clip two twenty six, Clip three forty four, Clip four forty nine, Clip five thirty six, Clip seven eighty five, Clip nine thirty three, Clip twelve or clip ten sorry thirty two, Clip eleven one thousand, one hundred and fifty eight, Clip twelve sixty five, Clip thirteen thirty seven,

Clip fourteen one hundred and seventy two. One of those stick out to you, guys, get the people go it, And so I also think part of that the reason that that commentary has gotten so snake eating its tail ish is there are a lot of folks who they're only outlet is their social media feed, and so all they have to go on is reaction to things they put out on social media, and so because of that, they they're like, well, this is what people want and

this is what people have strong opinions on. The Chador thing to me is very very simple, and I will do it as efficiently as possible. Shardour the player compared to Gabriel, and why shoudor should be the starter. There is absolutely no chance, none, that Dylan Gabriel is ever an above average NFL starter. It would be delightful if Dylan proves me wrong. If you know Dylan Gabriel's friends or family, see this clip he uses it for motivation, grows a few inches and gets a lot better, and

then you be like, Nick, you idiot, that's fine. I think it's zero percent that he's ever an above average NFL starter, and I think it's close to zero percent that he's ever even just a full time starter. It doesn't mean that's a bad draft pick. If he can just be a competent backup, stop gap quarterback, that's worth a third round pick. So that's Gabriel. Shador has just enough traits and just enough collegiate pedigree and just enough

Oh wow, look at that play that. I give him a five percent chance five percent one in twenty of being a plus starter and a ten to fifteen percent chance of being a full time starter for somebody. The Browns are otherwise that and that alone is enough to say, all right, let's use these last half dozen games to see what Shador has before we make massive decisions this offseason with our multiple first round picks. So in that regard, I I greatly prefer Schador to Gabriel for the Browns

right now, with what they're trying to do. Let's take one, take two. What did I think of Shador's game? I thought it was fine. He had one really nice chunk play over the middle, another potentially really nice chunk play to Jerry Judy that was a really nice chunk play until Judy started celebrating early and fumbled. He had one grisly interception and then two swing passes, one of which went for a sixty yard touchdown, the other of which

damn near got the Raiders back in the game. A bit of a mixed bag, and he was fine, but that being fine was the most important thing. What he couldn't be was awful or in way over his skis, and he wasn't, and so that's positive. And then there is the third point, which is Schador's disposition or personality or comments before and after the game. And I don't think that Shadoor means any harm. And I do think he is a very likable guy and from all accounts,

a really good guy. And I think he is handled growing up very rich and very famous better than most young people would. I believe that. I also think that while I always encourage confidence, particularly in athletes, particularly and guys that want to be starting quarterbacks, some of Shadour's comments have butted up against what I believe to be and maybe you'll prove me wrong. Delusion. So Shadoor really harping on, imagine what it'll look like when I have

a full off season. Imagine what it will look like when I have all the practice reps. Assumes to get a little litigious for a moment, some facts not in evidence, most notably that at any point in the near or even distant future, but certainly near future, that you're going to be a team's unquestioned starter, which the only way you're getting all the off season reps, all the practice reps is if you are the unequivocal QB one for a team. And I do not think that Shadoor is

on the doorstep of that. And I also think if I had to crystal ball it and say ten years out, is it more likely or than not that there will ever be a season where Shadoor is simply a team's incumbent, un no competition involved starting quarterback. I don't think that's going to happen chardor clearly does, and good for him for believing it. I I don't. It's not that I didn't like the common he made before and after the

game because I thought they were arrogant. I didn't like the comments he made because I thought he it showed that he hasn't come to grips with where he is in the NFL quarterback hierarchy. So like, unless he just absolutely balls out in a way that would be truly unprecedented for a fifth round rookie and would be top five percentile for any rookie of any round at that position over the final six weeks, he is not going to enter next year as the clear cut starter for

any team. And it is going to take a some really special performances over this last six weeks for the Browns to decide we are not spending a first round pick on a quarterback next year, and we are not trading for Kyler Murray or bringing in you know, this

year's version of Daniel Jones, whatever it is. And so I I, while I find Shador's biggest detractors to be typically bad people, and I find Shudore's biggest supporters to be typically very annoying people, I am rooting for him, but I think, I mean, we'll see all these this next month goes. But I I think that he would

serve himself well, if at least internally and psychologically. He reset his own personal expectations to where man next year, I'm going to go into camp as the clear cut number two somewhere, and then maybe by year three there I will be able to compete eat for a starting job somewhere. That to me is a far more realistic and achievable path than imagine when I'm getting all the reps as the starter, buddy, I don't know that that's happening ever. And then, of course, the story of the

game was the ten sacks from the Browns. I listen, I said that I thought Miles Garrett might break the sack record against the Raiders in their effort to make sure he didn't. Everyone else you know it got gino. He had three. He's gonna break the record. And I the fact that he's only minus eight point fifty for Defensive Player of the Year surprises me. I think there's I actually think there is value in that because I think he could get hurt next week and still win it,

all right. The other news of the weekend was John Morant calling Klay Thompson a bum. And they're back and forth, and I have two takes here before we get to the other NFL games that we'll do in quick hit or fashion. Take one is this if you think John Morant was a better player than Klay Thompson. I don't respect your basketball opinion. It's an IQ. It's a basketball IQ test. First of all, I'm not the only way you could have that opinion is if you're basically being like,

who would win a one on one game? And I'm not certain that peak Jaw against peak Clay that Peak would win. He probably would because of the athleticism, but Clay's defense, shooting, and size would have him right there. But there is but who gives a shit? Who would win a one on one game? Klay Thompson was the more complete player, obviously, the more mature player, understood how to play winning basketball, was the better teammate all of

the above. So that's just about the the the children and fools on the internet that are like, well, Jah has a point, You guys don't know what you're watching. The second point is this, we are approaching Defcon one for Jaz's career in a way, I cannot remember a player his caliber because he was a great player, great player.

That the only guys who have his caliber who have blown it up like this, like he appears to be trying to do it was because of drugs or injury, Like this is a clumsy cump, but I'll stand by it. He is barreling towards a poor man's version of the Derek Rose trajectory, except it'd be instead of blowing out your knee. You're just an asshole like Derek Rowe, who won an MVP, by the way, who made a conference finals, who was on a sixty win team.

Speaker 2

It it his career got derailed because he blew his knee out, and before he blew his knee out, ran into Lebron at his apex.

Speaker 1

Jaws. Just being a fool, and it's a damn shame. And I don't know that I have much of a comp for it. Across sports, usually drugs or injury. This is neither. This is rank immaturity. All right, let me quickly get to these other games and then we're gonna we'll do our pick show tomorrow. Rams beat the Bucks, Baker's injured, My beloved Bucks are in tro and Stafford has won MVP. I mean, it's too early to say he's one MVP. It would be shocking if he doesn't

win MVP. I don't know what those odds are, but right now I would if you could do it. I'm not sure if our friends at hard Rock Bet allow this, but if you could parlay Stafford MVP plus Miles Garrett Defensive Player of the Year and get you know, plus anything on it, I'd like that a lot. Patriots beat the Bengals in one of the Patriots least impressive games of the year and only scoring nineteen on that Bengals defense not great. You might be like, well, they won

twenty six to twenty. There was a May pick six and the later there was a Flacco pick six the Bengals man, I'd be so Jamar Chase had a very nice apology letter that seems sincere, but I'd be so mad at Jamar Chase farvar a Bengals fan, because I think they can win that game if he's there, and then you're four and seven about to play the Ravens and potentially just be a game out of the playoffs.

Packers beat the Vikings twenty three to six. JJ McCarthy legitimately might be the single worst player in the entire NFL. Packers defense is unbelievable. Packers offense still a little shaky and Lions beat the Giants in a bad win. Great job by Jamar Jamier Gibbs. Jamis probably should have been the Giants starter week one, not Russell Wilson, and Jamis should be a starter somewhere next year. But the Vikings

they might. You know, the last time a super high first round pick only got one year was Josh Rose and his team replaced him with Kyler Murray. That's the last time this happened. It might happen again getting only one year because he didn't play last year, because he might get replaced by Kyler Murray again, because he could Kyler could go to the Vikings the other quick hitters. Monday Night Football, we talked about a bit the Panthers. Good job, good effort on the season. You were competitive,

but you're done. And the Niners are frisky. As long as Christian McCaffrey's healthy and Kyle Shanan's calling plays and Bob Solo is calling the defense, they're frisky. Purdy is concerning the Oh we didn't talk about Texans bills and listen, I know how we all know the rules. Guys. When Josh Allen's great, he's the most talented quarterback ever, and when he's bad, it's Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott's fault

bad against the Texans. That that Texans defense is also ferocious, and that's another that's a scary team down the stretch with the defense playing that way. Seahawks beat the Titans thirty to twenty four in a game that was not nearly that close. Cam Ward actually played well. I thought that was one of the better cam Ward games of the year. Seahawks had full control, Jackson Smith and Jigba maybe stealing the offensive Player of the Year from Jonathan Taylor. Possibly.

Ravens beat the Jets twenty three to ten and a game the Jets were in a ridiculous fourth down call by Aaron Glenn when the Ravens offense had done nothing, combined with a Breezehall fumble, made it to where the Jets, you know, squandered where what could have been a close fourth quarter. Something's wrong with the Ravens offense. And Lamar has him been Lamar Bears beat the Steelers. I knew Aaron Rodgers was idiotic for him to play. He didn't play.

Steelers scored twenty eight twenty one on offense seven because of a terrible Caleb fumble and the Bears get to eight and three. Jags beat the Cardinals twenty seven to twenty four in a game that I don't want to talk about for two reasons. One is Trevor was terrible, but more importantly I I don't want to get into the full details of this, but had the Cardinals won that game, I would have won thirty four thousand dollars, and watching how that game ended was difficult to deal with.

God that that's still a little pit. I didn't lose all, I lost less than a grand, but I add I did a very foolish multi leg moneyline parlay that when that game went to overtime, every other leg was already in and you guys know, I'm on team never ever cash out under any circumstances. So we let that sucker ride and that was a painful one. Falcons beat the Saints twenty four to ten in a game I didn't watch one second of. So that covers Week twelve in the NFL. We will do our pick show that will
