00:00OK, so I assume one of those three quarterbacks has got to be playing tonight for the Giants for them to be six and a half point favorites.
00:07And I'm not, again, sure why, because, I mean, aren't all three of their starting quarterbacks kind of backups in the NFL, to be honest?
00:15So if this is a Winston game, total 37 and a half, maybe an over comes in with some touchdowns and some picks as well.
00:22There's some discussion. Maybe Winston, this is just he plays tonight and that's it.
00:26Maybe gets cut before next week, too.
00:27Quite frankly, I don't know what the Patriots have to prove here.
00:31They're a thin team on offense. I know that they're looking better in terms of who they got, but I don't expect New England to play anybody tonight.
00:37Yeah, I wouldn't either. I think this is kind of a go through the motions, you know, get a get a look at guys for those final cutdowns, final, you know, practice squad spots.
00:45But, yeah, the Giants are interesting. I know there's talk about will they trade Jameis Winston?
00:50I mean, Jackson darts look great, which is great for the Giants, but it's been against some pretty vanilla defenses.
00:56Of course, it's the preseason. So I'll be interested to see if they try if they play him and and want to see what he can do in this situation.
01:03But at the very least, I think we'll get Jameis and we'll see what he can do.
01:07I don't know if there's if they still view it as a competition for the backup spot or how exactly the Giants are viewing things behind Russell Wilson going into week one.
01:15But I think most people would imagine they're going to start more than one quarterback at some point this season for whatever the reason, whether it's injury, whether it's poor play.
01:23So they need to see, you know, what they have in these other guys and make sure that that they're they feel comfortable with them if they need them at some point.
01:29That's fair. Now, we've been talking about this interesting number for me, Matt, this season is New England at eight and a half wins, because if they have a much better season than last year, they still could easily go under this thing.
01:42So I know there's a lot of bullish on on New England, a lot of people who feel like they're going to win nine games, maybe even 10.
01:49Are you in that camp or or do you think that it's a little bit too much too soon?
01:53I think it's a little optimistic. I mean, like you said, I've been hearing it almost all offseason since the draft, since free agency.
02:00They got a new coach. There's a lot of things to like there, and I think they're certainly progressing in the right direction.
02:05But I don't know. Maybe I'm just missing something. I got a block. I just don't see it.
02:09I'm not quite as optimistic as others. You know, the division isn't great outside of the bill.
02:15So I think that that, you know, fuels some of the optimism that, hey, they can be the second best team in the division and therefore will win
02:22eight plus games. It's certainly possible. I think Mike Vrabel has proved he's a good coach.
02:27He can get the most out of his players. But at the same time, I just think they're lacking a little bit in the in the skill player department.
02:34And, you know, you're relying on some guys who have some shaky health histories there, too, to to really, you know, bolster you around your young quarterback.
02:41I don't know if he's good enough to carry them at this point to that type of record.
02:46So I'm not quite there with some of the masses like like you implied.
02:50But, you know, it'll be fun to watch because I think I think they're an interesting team that is moving in the right direction.
