00:02 - If you look at the NFC right now, Joe,

00:05 things have gotten very tight at that bottom.

00:08 Like we know who, we know the deal,

00:10 Eagles, Niners, Lions, you know, they're the best teams.

00:14 The Cowboys are right there with them as well, as we know.

00:17 Somebody has to win the NFC South, so that's a spot.

00:21 So there's gonna be two teams

00:23 that are gonna make the playoffs out of Seattle, Minnesota,

00:28 Green Bay, the Rams,

00:29 the loser of the Saints and the Falcons.

00:32 Do you wanna go lower than that, Joe?

00:34 Do you wanna put the four-win team?

00:35 They're all, now Joe, there's, you know,

00:38 most of these teams have six games, some of them have five,

00:41 'cause Minnesota and Chicago wanna buy this,

00:43 and the Giants. - Well, you wanna put

00:45 Baker and Tommy DeVito in there.

00:47 All right, we'll throw those teams in there, Joe.

00:50 - Well, the Bears would be in as well at four and eight.

00:53 Here's why, Joe.

00:54 If Seattle loses to Dallas on Thursday night, if.

00:58 - Which is a good possibility.

01:00 - They're gonna be six and six also.

01:03 Vikings are on a buy at six and six.

01:05 The Bears would be two out with five to play.

01:09 So would the Giants.

01:11 So, but Joe, out of all this mess,

01:15 out of all those teams that I listed to you,

01:17 who are the two that you have the most confidence in?

01:21 And some of them have easier schedules than others.

01:23 Factor that in as well.

01:24 - Yeah, this is easy.

01:26 And these were two teams that I talked about

01:27 at the start of the year, hit some rough patches

01:30 in terms of their middle part of the season,

01:32 but it's Jordan Love and Green Bay,

01:34 and it's Matt Stafford and the LA Rams.

01:36 I think both of those teams are equipped

01:38 from an offensive perspective

01:40 to potentially get into the playoffs and make a run,

01:43 and maybe not win an NFC Championship,

01:46 but I think they could definitely win a wild card game

01:49 with the right matchup.

01:50 They have the quarterback.

01:51 They also have potentially those playmakers,

01:54 and they have two head coaches in LeFleur and McVay

01:58 that have been there before.

01:59 So again, I think both of those teams,

02:02 Jordan Love playing as good as any quarterback right now

02:05 in the NFC, they have their identity back.

02:08 The defense has become opportunistic,

02:10 led by Rashawn Gary.

02:12 And you know what?

02:13 Kyron Williams back with Cooper Cuff

02:15 in the LA Rams offense.

02:17 Matt Stafford, as long as he's healthy,

02:19 they have a legitimate shot.

02:20 They get it to six and six this weekend.

02:23 They're back over their win total, right?

02:25 We talked about it was preseason five and a half,

02:28 then it went to six and a half.

02:29 Then once they started winning some games

02:31 early in the year, it was seven and a half.

02:34 They're their carver.

02:35 I mean, I think the LA Rams are potentially

02:38 the second best team in the NFC West this year.
