00:00there's a great quarterback battle today.

00:02I am close to playing this game.

00:04I have not played it yet.

00:05Four o'clock or one o'clock?

00:06Four o'clock.

00:07Charges Washington.

00:08Yes, sir.

00:08I'm on the over.

00:11Almost made the best bet.

00:13Really?

00:13Almost made the bet, but it's not the best bet for the day.

00:17Just tell me everything.

00:19Because I am now very intrigued here.

00:23Because I know you well.

00:24Yeah.

00:25The fact that this was almost the best bet isn't the best bet,

00:29but the best bet still comes from the four o'clock.

00:31Like, if you would have said, oh, I didn't play.

00:33For those that don't know,

00:34at least he would rather give you a one o'clock total.

00:36If I don't see anything on one o'clock, it's a bad sign.

00:40So, Commanders, Chargers, how did you break it down?

00:43I watched that giant game last week.

00:45And, again, they were abused by Jackson Dort's mobility on the ground.

00:50And now Jaden Daniels coming back from a two-game hiatus.

00:53What are you going to get?

00:54He's supposedly 100% healthy.

00:57They're coming off a loss.

00:58And, again, I just think Jaden Daniels is a playmaker.

01:02When he's running the football, it opens up everything for that offense.

01:05If they thought they had to be concerned about Jackson Dort,

01:08they have to be concerned right now about Jaden Daniels.

01:11And, again, I still think Justin Herbert, if you watch the game,

01:15big throws to Quinton Johnston, you know,

01:17critical drops at junctures last week.

01:21They still put up 18 points.

01:23That game trended under.

01:24I think that total was 40.

01:26It was a 40-and-a-half last week.

01:28They just got under the total at 39.

01:31But there were missed opportunities for both teams.

01:33And that was a rookie quarterback making his first start.

01:36I think right now the Giants created some mismatches

01:40that exposed the Chargers' defense a little bit.

01:43And I just think Daniels is so much better right now in his career

01:48that he tears that defense apart today.

01:51So, and we'll update you on London in a minute, all right?

01:55I wanted to bet the commanders in this game

01:58because I think Jaden coming back is that important, right?

02:05Joe Alt being out on top of the already Slater injury

02:09is potentially very damaging.

02:11I can get plus three, which is great, right?

02:16My thing is, I'm never getting three-and-a-half.

02:21And I just wonder if at plus three, right?

02:23You got two-and-a-halves now.

02:25Some two-and-a-halves.

02:26There's still a couple threes out.

02:27You know, we got to hunt around, get in the forest,

02:29you know, through the trees.

02:31I don't know if I see Washington winning this game enough

02:38to where I'm satisfied at three.

02:42I am really struggling with it because Harbaugh,

02:45look, so we saw Harbaugh last year lose multiple games

02:47two different occasions.

02:48So it's not impossible, right, where it's like,

02:51oh, this guy doesn't lose two straight.

02:52It's not one of those situations.

02:55Jaden is well-rested.

02:56It's a road game.

02:57It is a weird spot, Joe.

02:59I want to play Washington.

03:02I have not been able to get there yet.

03:05I think one of the interesting things, though,

03:07and why we set this up in this, you know,

03:09Jaden-Justin-Herbert capacity, right?

03:14Herbert's having a great year.

03:15We all know that.

03:17Jaden Daniels was anointed by many.

03:20I know that sounds ruder than I wanted to

03:22after his first year.

03:24But even you, and again, because, you know,

03:27Joe is very honest with these things, right?

03:29It would have been very easy for you to spend

03:30the whole offseason and be like,

03:31he's going to win MVP, he's the best quarterback

03:33in the world.

03:34You're like, I don't know.

03:34It's a lot on his plate this year.

03:36And only two games.

03:38But Joe, he did not look anywhere near as good

03:41in those two games as he did all of last season.

03:43And that may be why I stand back.

03:46I don't want to end up with a plus three

03:48where I'm betting last year's Jaden.

03:49Mind you, no Terry McClure in this game.

03:51It's still a shaky running back room.

03:54Just strip away, you know, the side or the total

03:59for a second.

04:00Maybe the props market.

04:01How you feel about Jaden Daniels in this spot

04:04against the Chargers?

04:05Well, I think rushing is where I would go.

04:08Again, 50, 60 plus.

04:10At 68 in week one.

04:12Yeah, I think 60.

04:13I mean, again, we saw Jackson Doerr

04:15and abuse that defense on the ground.

04:17Again, it's going to be there for Jaden Daniels.

04:19Because, again, secondary options, tight end,

04:23running backs coming out of the backfield.

04:25Again, with no McLaurin, where does he go?

04:28I mean, Zach Ertz has been the security blanket

04:30for him every game, you're right, underneath.

04:33When Jaden can't go deep, he checks down to Ertz.

04:36And Ertz is always there.

04:38You know, and if you believe that.

04:40And Theo Johnson for the Giants

04:41had some opportunities last week as well.

04:44So tight ends can maybe, you know,

04:47expose that Chargers defense to some capacity.

04:50I just don't think.

04:53Look, would it shock me if Jaden goes

04:55for 80 to 90 on the ground today?

04:57No.

04:58Again, the fact that he's been on the sidelines

05:00for two weeks.

05:01They split both of those games.

05:03He's going on the road.

05:04He saw Jackson Doer, the player he went up against

05:06in LSU, abuse that defense on the ground.

05:09If he's anywhere near 80 or 90% healthy,

05:14he's going to tuck it and run.
