02:11.065 --> 02:13.228 [SPEAKER_01]: My number five is decardinals. 02:13.478 --> 02:40.836 [SPEAKER_02]: There was on Cardinals, which I just saw a notification that it looks like Kyler Murray's not going to be playing quarterback this year, and that's why they're number five because I mean they stayed with the Packers, but they lost to the Titans, so Their team just all around so they're no longer in that playoff spot right now, like they're no longer in a hunt, I guess in your opinion in the West and to try to get them out like two and seven 02:40.816 --> 02:42.639 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but they could still, they could still rebound. 02:42.659 --> 02:44.762 [SPEAKER_01]: They could still, I'd turn things around here. 02:44.782 --> 02:48.207 [SPEAKER_01]: Without James Conner for the rest of the year, I don't think they're there now with Kyler. 02:48.448 --> 02:48.708 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 02:49.109 --> 02:49.309 [SPEAKER_02]: All right. 02:49.509 --> 02:50.010 [SPEAKER_02]: Number five. 02:50.310 --> 02:51.252 [SPEAKER_02]: All right. 02:51.272 --> 02:53.415 [SPEAKER_01]: Why don't we, let's, let's, let's go to your number four. 02:53.976 --> 02:54.577 [SPEAKER_01]: My number four. 02:54.677 --> 02:54.877 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 02:55.138 --> 02:55.739 [SPEAKER_01]: Is the Raiders? 02:56.480 --> 02:56.981 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 02:57.101 --> 02:57.982 [SPEAKER_02]: Want some eggs, Raiders? 02:58.102 --> 02:58.383 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 02:58.483 --> 03:00.927 [SPEAKER_01]: The, like you said, the vibes, they're really down. 03:01.668 --> 03:03.390 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I don't think anyone on this team is happy. 03:04.352 --> 03:07.577 [SPEAKER_01]: And they're just, not good. 03:07.837 --> 03:09.760 [SPEAKER_01]: Those Pete Carroll make it past this season. 03:10.448 --> 03:30.543 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but what do you think you think like a live like I definitely the key survives You know like That's wishes to be Carol Pete's not dead, but he But does he survive this job? 03:30.663 --> 03:34.650 [SPEAKER_02]: I guess after this season The range of kind of getting what they expect 03:38.022 --> 03:47.490 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a very competitive division and you've got the oldest encotion football coming back And you got genus mentally. 03:47.510 --> 03:48.671 [SPEAKER_00]: Any a genus now. 03:48.691 --> 03:49.072 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 03:50.113 --> 04:01.823 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, okay, that's fair Okay, I'm gonna give you now my number five Okay, and this is really this is where we're gonna get the ball still rolling here the Minnesota Vikings. 04:01.963 --> 04:06.527 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay Entering the bottom five for the first time this season 04:07.351 --> 04:16.365 [SPEAKER_02]: Mostly because I was I was believe or at the beginning of the year Especially with the way JJ looked in that first game in that second half against the bears I'm running at football week one. 04:16.385 --> 04:17.466 [SPEAKER_02]: It looked like okay. 04:17.486 --> 04:20.751 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, maybe this team can Swing some things and then it was like, all right. 04:20.771 --> 04:34.692 [SPEAKER_02]: You just kind of got a ride around in game Your pass off offense obviously could could have potential to be elite the defense of the defense can just play their game and then special teams looked like one of the better special teams We'd seen it a long time a minute, so yeah 04:35.650 --> 04:42.498 [SPEAKER_02]: Then JJ is in hurt, maybe question mark, and then Carson Lens is the quarterback. 04:43.519 --> 04:47.503 [SPEAKER_02]: He was sacrificed this week. 04:47.523 --> 04:53.029 [SPEAKER_02]: For the sake of JJ's alleged high ankle sprain, Eric was going on in Minnesota. 04:53.530 --> 04:54.871 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you hit it, injuries. 04:55.512 --> 04:56.033 [SPEAKER_02]: Entry. 04:56.133 --> 04:56.633 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 04:56.994 --> 04:59.076 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the starting five offensive linemen. 05:03.764 --> 05:07.208 [SPEAKER_00]: Indianapolis over the year, two Pro Bowl tackles. 05:08.229 --> 05:10.652 [SPEAKER_00]: That starting five is not played together this season. 05:11.593 --> 05:15.618 [SPEAKER_00]: Both tackles of this time, they've had four different starting centers. 05:16.840 --> 05:24.409 [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, the starting center, last week against the charters, was their backup right guard to start the season. 05:25.970 --> 05:31.577 [SPEAKER_00]: So, you start with that behind the line, then you've got your quarterback injuries. 05:32.030 --> 05:47.153 [SPEAKER_00]: then you got your defensive injuries where you've had a bank ankle, a cashman, pace, granard, I've all misgames this year, it does, it feels like a lot of season, I think you're going to be talking about the Vikings a lot here in the 05:49.782 --> 05:50.784 [SPEAKER_00]: not doing them any favors. 05:51.104 --> 05:54.790 [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of the pack there, bringing, we are famously chargers fans. 05:54.870 --> 05:58.276 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, do you want to address the offensive line injuries that he brought up here? 05:58.997 --> 06:09.274 [SPEAKER_01]: There, I mean, if you have a good enough quarterback, you could try to stay afloat, but Carson once is not the quarterback you'd want with an injured offensive line. 06:09.294 --> 06:09.394 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 06:11.517 --> 06:12.959 [SPEAKER_00]: Did he have to be sacrificed? 06:13.961 --> 06:15.784 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm not very happy about that. 06:15.944 --> 06:16.365 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 06:16.525 --> 06:18.448 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's no reason that he should have been out there. 06:18.628 --> 06:19.229 [SPEAKER_02]: Correct. 06:19.530 --> 06:23.296 [SPEAKER_02]: I remember during the game, we were texting, and it's like, you're like, I'm done with these guys. 06:23.316 --> 06:24.818 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, put the rookie in, like, let him play. 06:24.858 --> 06:31.028 [SPEAKER_00]: No, well, I mean, just, I mean, even, it was only those last, like, two drives that they put the rookie in, but do that. 06:31.008 --> 06:33.231 [SPEAKER_00]: What place did they draw out for the rookie? 06:33.632 --> 06:39.560 [SPEAKER_00]: They drew up some quick passes that weren't screens, but that they were two yards, slants. 06:39.720 --> 06:40.702 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. 06:40.742 --> 06:41.823 [SPEAKER_00]: And he was able to hit him. 06:42.685 --> 06:51.557 [SPEAKER_00]: And they did not try to do that at any point with Carson Wentz and that or he was bypassing those to try to get the 1015 yard passes to JJ. 06:52.058 --> 06:54.822 [SPEAKER_00]: But you need two and a half, three seconds to do that. 06:56.658 --> 06:58.383 [SPEAKER_00]: him two and a half three seconds. 06:58.624 --> 06:59.366 [SPEAKER_02]: No, they weren't that. 06:59.386 --> 07:01.793 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was, it was pretty sad night. 07:01.813 --> 07:06.708 [SPEAKER_02]: What concerned me, obviously, the health and safety of Carson West? 07:06.808 --> 07:10.178 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you can argue whether or not he should have been playing. 07:10.732 --> 07:35.052 [SPEAKER_00]: even healthy you know what I mean but that was that was the problem like he's sitting or grimacing like writing on the ground in pain they go commercial break yeah they come back from commercial with smiley smiling and yucking it up with macaam the the quarterbacks coach so it's just like okay like what what's going on here right yeah there's there was a point there and there's a 07:38.812 --> 07:51.943 [SPEAKER_00]: fourth and two they converted a 13-yard pass got to the 50-yard line fourth and two once takes a big hit the wall throwing the 13-yard pass and looks you know just 07:53.054 --> 08:07.340 [SPEAKER_00]: if I can send a planet and that was the one that really upset me because the punt the commercial break and then he's smiling and it's just like you know that if he wasn't like rolling on the ground like they would have went for it like they would have to go for it. 08:07.620 --> 08:11.547 [SPEAKER_00]: This is the first time you've had any success like you need to go for it on 4th and 2th. 08:11.647 --> 08:17.678 [SPEAKER_02]: And then that's the thing the game didn't really get away from them until later in the second half like they're like out to your point. 08:17.658 --> 08:24.127 [SPEAKER_02]: you're down 14, you could go forth there, you know, and try to get a score to get back, you know, within a score. 08:24.568 --> 08:30.536 [SPEAKER_02]: But, um, what with that being said, J. J. McCarthy, is he really, was he really hurt? 08:31.237 --> 08:33.000 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I do think that he was hurt. 08:33.280 --> 08:34.442 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 08:35.123 --> 08:40.391 [SPEAKER_00]: I think that they probably really are leaning into the, they want him a hundred percent. 08:40.671 --> 08:41.072 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 08:41.092 --> 08:42.113 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's been started to 08:48.083 --> 08:49.626 [SPEAKER_00]: they were just like, hey, we don't want to. 08:50.007 --> 08:50.789 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, ruin him. 08:51.250 --> 08:55.058 [SPEAKER_02]: Because that's like the timeline that it was originally put out there was two weeks ago. 08:55.138 --> 09:00.650 [SPEAKER_02]: And then he's practicing and he's the emergency third quarterback and, you know, and he's moving around on the sidelines. 09:00.710 --> 09:01.010 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 09:01.552 --> 09:03.696 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you definitely thought. 09:04.233 --> 09:06.856 [SPEAKER_02]: He was a guy that could, I just go back to that game. 09:06.876 --> 09:07.677 [SPEAKER_02]: They said he got hurt. 09:07.737 --> 09:10.040 [SPEAKER_02]: He's still running the football in the last play of the game. 09:10.261 --> 09:12.664 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, yeah, it's just a weird situation. 09:12.924 --> 09:15.307 [SPEAKER_00]: And it is strange to take into account. 09:15.407 --> 09:20.754 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, when he starts this Sunday, he will be the youngest starting quarterback in the NFL. 09:20.974 --> 09:22.296 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 09:22.316 --> 09:26.582 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you know, Jackson Dart, like, all these guys, like, they're all older than him. 09:26.882 --> 09:27.142 [SPEAKER_02]: Yep. 09:27.262 --> 09:29.245 [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, I wonder how much that's. 09:29.562 --> 09:31.765 [SPEAKER_00]: like them protecting them from himself. 09:31.906 --> 09:37.534 [SPEAKER_00]: But if you need to protect him from himself, then was he worth the number 10 pick in the draft? 09:37.554 --> 09:37.935 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah. 09:37.995 --> 09:39.557 [SPEAKER_00]: He's worth selling off. 09:39.577 --> 09:39.858 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 09:40.038 --> 09:43.143 [SPEAKER_00]: That's darn old and Jones to go for him. 09:43.343 --> 09:47.509 [SPEAKER_02]: And not bringing in anybody basically to be a legit backup to him. 09:47.529 --> 09:47.770 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 09:47.790 --> 09:48.370 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 09:48.390 --> 09:48.611 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 09:48.631 --> 09:49.813 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, they're back up that they brought in. 09:49.853 --> 09:51.315 [SPEAKER_00]: They traded before the season started. 09:51.335 --> 09:53.218 [SPEAKER_00]: They will get the point to know. 09:53.238 --> 09:54.179 [SPEAKER_00]: Like they had how? 09:54.199 --> 09:54.560 [SPEAKER_00]: Like. 09:55.000 --> 09:55.401 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 09:56.360 --> 10:10.707 [SPEAKER_02]: well Vikings debut number five uh... bottom five like you said we're probably gonna hear more about them here in the in the upcoming weeks uh... my best better this week they're playing at Detroit new kick on sunday 10:11.530 --> 10:13.132 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, you've got JJ going. 10:13.232 --> 10:16.556 [SPEAKER_02]: I like Detroit to cover the eight and a half. 10:16.576 --> 10:27.668 [SPEAKER_02]: I also like this game to hit the over Because I do think JJ is going to be able to sling it a little better than maybe we've seen here in the last few weeks So Minnesota is going to we got hungrier water severs there. 10:28.309 --> 10:39.020 [SPEAKER_02]: I do think they're going to put up some points Detroit certainly is going to put up their share of points So I like if you parlay the eight and a half and the over it's plus 240. 10:39.181 --> 10:40.542 [SPEAKER_02]: That's my best bet that's week there 10:42.715 --> 10:44.520 [SPEAKER_00]: some injuries in that secondary. 10:44.680 --> 10:49.373 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so like they're going to get to JJ a whole times there's going to be some big sacks. 10:49.413 --> 10:52.260 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's also some potential for big plays. 10:52.321 --> 10:59.239 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, and that's where even if you listen to WTL, where's the line that sports bedding, broadcasts. 10:59.219 --> 11:05.145 [SPEAKER_02]: one of my top player props of the week was JJ McCarthy over one and a half touchdowns. 11:05.405 --> 11:09.149 [SPEAKER_02]: That was a plus one four five because I do think they're going to sling it. 11:09.349 --> 11:21.461 [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's healthy as he's been this season probably and like you said with that Detroit secondary there's some good opportunities there and and he was yeah he's going to play two games. 11:21.501 --> 11:24.484 [SPEAKER_02]: He was averaging a touchdown a game so it was like all right. 11:24.970 --> 11:27.212 [SPEAKER_02]: we could we could definitely see that happening. 11:27.232 --> 11:27.553 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 11:28.033 --> 11:28.393 [SPEAKER_02]: Anyways. 11:29.555 --> 11:30.315 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, okay. 11:30.355 --> 11:33.298 [SPEAKER_02]: Number four, the Washington Commanders. 11:34.500 --> 11:35.020 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah. 11:35.521 --> 11:41.367 [SPEAKER_02]: After the big loss of the Kansas City Chiefs 287, certainly didn't have Jane Daniels then. 11:42.268 --> 11:47.092 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, have Jane and Daniels back now, but don't have scary Terry. 11:47.553 --> 11:48.514 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, ever so. 11:48.534 --> 11:49.635 [SPEAKER_01]: So you got that contract. 11:49.655 --> 11:50.556 [SPEAKER_01]: He's been injured. 11:50.536 --> 12:08.244 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I do, and they're coming off of three straight losses, there's season appears to be, they do appear to be one of those teams that you see every season where it's like, all right, you made the playoffs, but then the next year you don't, even though the expectation was to make a jump forward, that seems to be one of those teams this year. 12:09.887 --> 12:14.434 [SPEAKER_02]: So anyway, I've got Washington at number four, they play Seattle. 12:14.414 --> 12:17.017 [SPEAKER_02]: on Sunday night football. 12:18.159 --> 12:18.779 [SPEAKER_02]: Seattle's hot. 12:19.120 --> 12:19.380 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 12:19.941 --> 12:21.843 [SPEAKER_02]: Like Seattle's Seattle's pretty freaking good. 12:22.644 --> 12:25.207 [SPEAKER_02]: My best bet here was to take the under. 12:25.227 --> 12:34.819 [SPEAKER_02]: And that's because Washington not only are they missing one of their key playmakers, they got Jane Dango's coming back, maybe still dealing with the hamstring a little bit. 12:35.701 --> 12:38.584 [SPEAKER_02]: They've hit the over at home only once this season. 12:39.185 --> 12:42.469 [SPEAKER_02]: I see Seattle just taking care of business and it's it's no go. 12:42.950 --> 12:44.151 [SPEAKER_02]: So there's your best 12:44.131 --> 12:45.033 [SPEAKER_02]: All right. 12:45.133 --> 12:47.216 [SPEAKER_02]: Number three three. 12:47.918 --> 12:48.559 [SPEAKER_01]: I have the jets. 12:49.420 --> 12:50.482 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that makes a lot of sense. 12:50.722 --> 12:58.596 [SPEAKER_01]: I would have put the jets at one probably, but I mean they just beat the bangles and it come back when so I think the vibes are a little higher 12:59.909 --> 13:08.001 [SPEAKER_01]: Even if they are probably going to trade away all their players by the trade deadline, I think Aaron Glenn, it's probably pretty happy with what put it to the chargers. 13:08.641 --> 13:28.009 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Breeze Hall So my team three is pretty similar to yours in that my three is the Cincinnati Bengals The jets for the first time in a bit are not going to be in the bottom five as we head into the week and here's why 13:29.440 --> 13:35.968 [SPEAKER_02]: They took the pressures of their, what their owner was saying that the, the Justin Fields isn't the right player. 13:35.988 --> 13:36.109 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 13:36.129 --> 13:36.229 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 13:36.409 --> 13:48.985 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, there was all this talk about him, you know, he, maybe if you had a quarterback who could throw or, you know, whatever, you know, the owner of himself is the one saying it paid the 30 million guarantee, you know, whatever, it worked. 13:48.965 --> 13:52.330 [SPEAKER_02]: They could have easily folded the season. 13:52.390 --> 13:53.672 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a lost season for the jats. 13:54.233 --> 13:55.855 [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of these guys aren't going to be there next year. 13:56.777 --> 13:58.319 [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of them might be here this year. 13:58.479 --> 13:59.240 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, 10 this year. 13:59.381 --> 13:59.861 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 13:59.881 --> 14:09.075 [SPEAKER_02]: But they did rally back when the game, they lost one of their legends right before kickoff and their former center. 14:09.816 --> 14:13.842 [SPEAKER_02]: He died of the liver disease. 14:13.990 --> 14:22.322 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but they rallied and be a Joe Flacco-led Bengals team, yeah, that I didn't think was beable. 14:23.604 --> 14:26.008 [SPEAKER_02]: Joe Flacco is playing on another level. 14:26.108 --> 14:29.432 [SPEAKER_02]: He rushed for a touchdown, that's the first rushing touchdown. 14:29.953 --> 14:35.982 [SPEAKER_02]: He's had in like 13 years or something like that, um, was pretty impressive. 14:35.962 --> 14:39.068 [SPEAKER_02]: And I think it just has more to say about where the bankals are. 14:39.268 --> 14:46.121 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which is why they're at number three that big comeback lost to the jets 3938, the defense continues to struggle. 14:46.782 --> 14:53.394 [SPEAKER_02]: Joe Flacco not only could they not win despite what he was producing now this week, he's dealing with that AC joint injury. 14:53.614 --> 14:55.658 [SPEAKER_02]: It does look like he's gonna play. 14:55.638 --> 15:00.687 [SPEAKER_02]: But now you've got Joe Flacco and an A.C. joining Jerry Hedgehog, that's true. 15:01.889 --> 15:06.016 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but they are at home, uh, Verschicago on Sunday. 15:06.056 --> 15:08.420 [SPEAKER_02]: My best bet is Chicago minus three. 15:09.101 --> 15:12.927 [SPEAKER_02]: Chicago is actually four and one and they're last five games against the spread. 15:13.348 --> 15:14.510 [SPEAKER_02]: The Bengals are two and four. 15:15.071 --> 15:21.662 [SPEAKER_02]: So when you put in all the factors, they are actually like Chicago to come up and win this football game and cover. 15:22.621 --> 15:23.763 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, number two. 15:23.823 --> 15:26.127 [SPEAKER_01]: Number two, I have the Saints. 15:28.311 --> 15:28.732 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 15:28.752 --> 15:37.288 [SPEAKER_01]: Last time, I put them in my honorable mentions because I kind of had a little bit of faith, but it's kind of all gone now that they bench Spencer Raller. 15:38.112 --> 15:40.215 [SPEAKER_01]: So you had faith and Spencer out there. 15:40.235 --> 15:41.296 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're the guy. 15:41.316 --> 15:42.618 [SPEAKER_01]: He looked you look kind of good. 15:42.738 --> 15:45.442 [SPEAKER_01]: He's the guy That didn't say it was the guy. 15:45.482 --> 15:56.277 [SPEAKER_01]: I said you shouldn't bench him for Tyler show or obviously he's last in house Yeah, okay Number two, I've got the Baltimore Ravens. 15:56.878 --> 16:04.909 [SPEAKER_02]: Now you might be thinking these guys just beat the bears 30 to 16 Lamar's back They've got things rolling right now. 16:05.149 --> 16:05.790 [SPEAKER_02]: I think 16:06.935 --> 16:09.819 [SPEAKER_02]: They've been dealing with some things all season long. 16:09.839 --> 16:11.662 [SPEAKER_02]: Number one, they've been dealing with big losses. 16:12.403 --> 16:14.266 [SPEAKER_02]: This is a team that's been scoring a ton of points. 16:14.306 --> 16:15.568 [SPEAKER_02]: It's still losing football games. 16:15.628 --> 16:20.335 [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't look quite like the Baltimore Ravens of Older or the Defense, it's usually where they hang their hat. 16:20.355 --> 16:28.527 [SPEAKER_02]: Number two, they are dealing with the Lamar injury and just because he's back doesn't mean he's not going to be maybe running not as well as he was previously. 16:28.947 --> 16:32.993 [SPEAKER_02]: Number three, if you remember when they came out of the buy just before this week, 16:32.973 --> 16:39.041 [SPEAKER_02]: They famously got their ping-pong tables and all their gaming stuff pulled out of the locker room. 16:39.862 --> 16:47.131 [SPEAKER_02]: I believe this win, this 30 to 16 win over the bears is just one of those, you know, right after you get grounded. 16:47.312 --> 16:50.616 [SPEAKER_02]: So then you're really good for a day and you're like, look mom, I'm mad at him back. 16:51.277 --> 16:52.338 [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's all this was. 16:52.779 --> 17:02.271 [SPEAKER_02]: I think they got grounded coming out of the buy, got all their toys taken away, and then they went and won one football game against the bears, and now we'll just see what happens. 17:03.736 --> 17:05.961 [SPEAKER_02]: you're saying two games because they play Thursday. 17:05.981 --> 17:12.915 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but we're living in a world that Thursday hasn't happened. 17:12.935 --> 17:14.979 [SPEAKER_02]: We're living in a world that hasn't happened yet. 17:15.841 --> 17:22.234 [SPEAKER_02]: It just felt like an immediate one of those ground meetings and then it's like, hey, can I go outside play again? 17:22.214 --> 17:25.157 [SPEAKER_02]: But that's where Baltimore is now. 17:25.557 --> 17:28.600 [SPEAKER_02]: We will live in reality that we've recorded this after Thursday. 17:28.640 --> 17:30.442 [SPEAKER_02]: And they have played Miami. 17:30.462 --> 17:33.906 [SPEAKER_02]: Now my best bet for Thursday night was Miami plus seven and a half. 17:34.666 --> 17:36.028 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, which did not. 17:36.448 --> 17:37.149 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, for issues. 17:37.249 --> 17:43.956 [SPEAKER_02]: So the Ravens, although hanging a number two in the bottom five, did have a good week. 17:43.996 --> 17:47.519 [SPEAKER_02]: So I would not imagine they would be hanging back next week. 17:47.579 --> 17:47.819 [SPEAKER_02]: So. 17:48.700 --> 17:49.521 [SPEAKER_02]: But anyways. 17:53.129 --> 17:55.073 [SPEAKER_00]: We can get two bottom fives against each other. 17:55.133 --> 17:58.579 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the winner gets out, the loser stays in. 17:58.739 --> 18:04.971 [SPEAKER_02]: We have had actually a little bit of that throughout the season, and it's always fun when you get a bottom fives bowl going. 18:07.575 --> 18:07.996 [SPEAKER_02]: All right. 18:08.016 --> 18:09.619 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 18:09.639 --> 18:12.825 [SPEAKER_01]: Number one, my worst team is the dolphins. 18:13.278 --> 18:37.041 [SPEAKER_01]: okay i think that's a pretty obvious pick because nobody on that team is happy uh to us said players aren't showing up to players only meetings uh i'm surprised that their coach is staying around for the end of the year well they made the move they they fired the GM yeah so the coach is essentially deadman walking yeah they're just gonna lie him 18:37.612 --> 18:43.400 [SPEAKER_02]: they're basically taking the easy way out be like you're done but we're going to go ahead and need you to finish down your your shift. 18:43.500 --> 18:45.904 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean that's basically what's happening there. 18:48.487 --> 18:53.114 [SPEAKER_02]: You're taking into account the Thursday game of this week that just got some out. 18:53.234 --> 18:56.679 [SPEAKER_01]: I would have had them there even if they just beat the Falcons. 18:56.919 --> 18:58.862 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I don't think they're good at all. 18:58.882 --> 19:02.908 [SPEAKER_02]: So one thing I do want to say about to a this is before Thursday. 19:03.108 --> 19:07.534 [SPEAKER_02]: So when he was coming out of 19:07.835 --> 19:17.997 [SPEAKER_02]: he looked like a guy you know he's played the way he's played all season right and then you know we have those NBA gambling things going on where the players are 19:18.331 --> 19:23.496 [SPEAKER_02]: and to a play against Atlanta, like a guy that was told, did you have to try? 19:23.536 --> 19:24.757 [SPEAKER_02]: Otherwise, they're gonna bust you. 19:25.477 --> 19:29.501 [SPEAKER_02]: And then he went out and put on a heck of a performance. 19:29.961 --> 19:32.244 [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, maybe there's something to that. 19:32.344 --> 19:36.447 [SPEAKER_02]: And then we had this game Thursday night, and it's like, all right, there's something to it's to look. 19:37.068 --> 19:48.338 [SPEAKER_02]: And to keep saying things in the post game media scrum, where he just, you know, why I can't always throw it to so 19:48.318 --> 19:52.063 [SPEAKER_02]: Dude, you can't say that. 19:52.083 --> 19:54.386 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, like he just keeps every week. 19:54.406 --> 19:58.671 [SPEAKER_02]: He says something that's like, Do those are the things you just have to like keep inside. 19:58.931 --> 20:00.573 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, not everything needs to be said. 20:00.894 --> 20:04.538 [SPEAKER_00]: Russell Wilson's lived his entire career without being able to throw it up in the middle. 20:04.558 --> 20:05.319 [SPEAKER_00]: To raise his well. 20:05.379 --> 20:06.261 [SPEAKER_00]: Never admitted it. 20:06.741 --> 20:08.443 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, to raise his well. 20:09.224 --> 20:12.048 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, well, I number one, and this can't be a surprise to you, break. 20:12.108 --> 20:15.372 [SPEAKER_02]: My number one worst team in the NFL this week, the Tennessee Titans. 20:15.352 --> 20:24.938 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, yeah, this is a team that's already lost like fire their head coach Seems somewhat surprisingly fired that head coach in the local market. 20:25.319 --> 20:30.373 [SPEAKER_02]: They just got smoke by the colds not that that's a surprise everybody is 20:30.505 --> 20:38.212 [SPEAKER_02]: I questioned firing that head coach and then putting in Mike McCoy as the interim head coach. 20:38.232 --> 20:41.716 [SPEAKER_02]: I had now come to terms that that was probably the best move. 20:41.996 --> 20:47.141 [SPEAKER_02]: If you're going to fire your head coach, you put in Mike McCoy to be the interim because he's the perfect fall guy. 20:47.441 --> 20:49.103 [SPEAKER_02]: He's not going to earn that job. 20:50.324 --> 20:50.604 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 20:51.085 --> 20:54.748 [SPEAKER_02]: There's no like, oh, what if he does so well and turns this around? 20:54.808 --> 20:56.089 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Mike's not going to do that. 20:57.110 --> 20:58.892 [SPEAKER_02]: And this is the perfect week. 20:58.872 --> 21:01.836 [SPEAKER_02]: to showcase that as they've got the chargers coming at town. 21:02.296 --> 21:06.442 [SPEAKER_02]: This is revenge game for the bolts like McCoy famously terrible head coach form. 21:07.563 --> 21:10.887 [SPEAKER_02]: I like my best bet here the bolts covering the 9 and a half. 21:11.768 --> 21:14.131 [SPEAKER_02]: The Titans are 2 and 6 against the spread. 21:14.572 --> 21:20.039 [SPEAKER_02]: That is a high line but the chargers when you've got Joe Old on that offensive line. 21:20.740 --> 21:25.065 [SPEAKER_02]: A blowout is in the making any week of a year. 21:25.045 --> 21:26.447 [SPEAKER_02]: I like this one a lot. 21:26.527 --> 21:28.951 [SPEAKER_02]: Eric, you kind of crimps the little bit and I have to high. 21:29.271 --> 21:33.297 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't have for a West Coast team, Travelling to the East Coast. 21:33.477 --> 21:35.060 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, noon guy. 21:35.080 --> 21:36.161 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like that at all. 21:36.422 --> 21:38.244 [SPEAKER_00]: I will say that's a lot of points. 21:38.505 --> 21:45.695 [SPEAKER_02]: That's a lot of points and the trend, like the the very points you made or actually gambling 101, you don't do that. 21:45.896 --> 21:49.721 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going against the grain because that's how much I don't believe in Mike McCoy. 21:50.442 --> 21:52.285 [SPEAKER_02]: So. 21:53.328 --> 21:53.849 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 21:53.989 --> 21:57.013 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that is our bottom five this week, Brad and Eric. 21:57.093 --> 21:57.875 [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for coming on. 21:57.915 --> 22:02.621 [SPEAKER_02]: You guys got in last comments here to make a part of the works of the NFL. 22:02.822 --> 22:04.524 [SPEAKER_01]: I do have a couple. 22:04.985 --> 22:05.145 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 22:05.165 --> 22:12.856 [SPEAKER_01]: And the last time I was on here, I had the Panthers as my worst team and now they're four and four looking like they could be a playoff team. 22:13.156 --> 22:15.640 [SPEAKER_01]: So, oh, so you're a believer in the Panthers. 22:15.620 --> 22:17.342 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think I turned them around. 22:17.683 --> 22:18.724 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're taking a full credit. 22:18.784 --> 22:19.045 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 22:19.145 --> 22:19.485 [SPEAKER_02]: OK. 22:20.006 --> 22:22.329 [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're playing well because I put them at one. 22:22.509 --> 22:27.436 [SPEAKER_02]: OK. And are you believing in Andy Dalton or are you believing in Bryce? 22:27.937 --> 22:29.298 [SPEAKER_01]: No, that's a tough question. 22:29.879 --> 22:33.764 [SPEAKER_01]: I think probably Bryce just because they have everyone has more chemistry. 22:34.065 --> 22:34.445 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 22:36.929 --> 22:37.429 [SPEAKER_02]: But there you go. 22:37.910 --> 22:38.431 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 22:38.451 --> 22:38.691 [SPEAKER_02]: All right. 22:38.851 --> 22:40.173 [SPEAKER_02]: Take a full credit for the Panthers. 22:40.754 --> 22:42.336 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go lay some bets on that. 22:50.095 --> 23:12.306 [SPEAKER_00]: that's gold was there a line before this episode on how many episodes would be before I got kicked out and never invited back to everybody because I mean if you took that you know under one and a half like that's yeah that would pay it out yeah all right well thanks for coming on guys all right we'll be back next week brady episode five more terrible things yeah the bottom five
