00:03 Okay, maybe a Super Bowl preview here,

00:05 depending on how you feel about this matchup.

00:08 Two best teams, AFC, NFC going at it.

00:11 And with Philly losing last night, there's no question,

00:13 it's the 49ers and the NFC.

00:14 Some people would think in the AFC that maybe it's Baltimore, but

00:18 could be Kansas City, could be Miami or Buffalo, someone else.

00:21 The Ravens are getting five and a half points this week against

00:24 the San Francisco 49ers.

00:25 The 49ers offense has been absolutely unstoppable.

00:29 You got two players potentially playing also for the MVP, Brock Purdy.

00:33 Jacob has jumped up to the top on FanDuel as far as being the MVP.

00:37 And maybe Lamar Jackson should be getting more attention for this award.

00:41 But certainly for him to win it, they gotta go into San Francisco and win, and

00:45 not many teams have done that.

00:46 >> Right, I think this is a game where you look at this and you say,

00:50 the winner of this game, whichever team it is,

00:53 they probably end up with the MVP for the season.

00:56 Barring a massive close to the year by Jack Prescott where he kind of erases

01:00 the bad taste left by that Bills game.

01:03 So I think that you're probably looking at either Lamar Jackson or

01:06 Brock Purdy getting it.

01:08 And to take nothing away from Brock Purdy who has posted a massive statistical

01:12 season, I think that Lamar Jackson probably has a better case for

01:16 it because he's really important to what the Ravens do.

01:21 He really is a massive part of that offense.

01:23 He makes it work with his mobility, which opens up the running game.

01:26 And his downfield passing this season has been significantly better.

01:30 Statistically, he doesn't have the stats that Purdy has, but

01:33 I struggle in watching Brock Purdy just to kind of assess,

01:37 hey, is this guy responsible for this?

01:40 Is he a high-end quarterback executing at this level, or

01:43 is he helped by all the support and cast he has?

01:45 So I think that's gonna be a fascinating debate as we go on in the season.

01:49 And I think that the argument I would make against Purdy is I don't think he's

01:53 the most valuable player on this team.

01:55 I think it's Trent Williams, actually.

01:56 If you look at when Trent Williams is out of the lineup,

02:00 Brock Purdy did not have a very good three-game run there.

02:03 In fact, I think it was all three of their losses,

02:04 Williams didn't play it or was injured it.

02:06 So that's a dream of mine, though, and

02:09 offensive lineman's never gonna win MVP, but that's how I feel right now.

02:14 This game, though,

02:14 I think is gonna be closer than this five and a half point spread indicates.

02:18 I think the fact that it's not getting to six shows that the books are afraid that

02:22 the sharp bettors might come in hard on the Ravens at that.

02:25 And I think that's probably gonna be my play,

02:27 cuz I think this defense might be able to test the 49ers a bit.

02:31 And Jackson's mobility should provide the Niners' defense with a unique test in and

02:35 of itself.

02:36 But very much looking forward to this game.

02:38 It's gonna be a great Christmas present for NFL fans.
