00:00On the other side of the field, though, Joe, is Sam Darnold and a Seattle offense that's

00:05coming off of one of the more impressive games we've seen all season long as they in

00:09the first half against the Washington Commanders scored 31 points.

00:13Sam Darnold had four passing touchdowns and did not have an incomplete pass.

00:17They today are a seven point favorite.

00:22And I think this number, I'm just going to pull this up here quickly.

00:24It looks like it's starting to climb a little bit.

00:27Yeah, it's seven everywhere now.

00:30So it's continuing to move towards Seattle here.

00:33Are you a believer in this Seahawks team?

00:36I mean, believer on the defense.

00:38Yes.

00:38And again, you can't take away what they did last week.

00:42I mean, Darnold had a near perfect first half.

00:46I mean, four touchdown passes.

00:48They're doing it with second and third options at the wide receiver position outside of JSN.

00:54And JSN is living up to be the next best Ohio statewide receiver to come out and just hit

00:59the ground running.

01:00It's like a hundred yards almost every time he steps out there.

01:03And Darnold has performed.

01:06And you can't take it away from him.

01:08But I still like, and I tell you, divisional games where you have a home dog.

01:17I'm still just like we had, not a home dog, a divisional game where you have a touchdown

01:23or more like we had last week with Minnesota.

01:26I'm going to take the points.

01:27And it's not a knock on Seattle from what they've done up until this point.

01:32I don't think they look to get into a shootout Arizona today.

01:35I think they look to maybe muddy it up, try and run the football.

01:38It's easier said than done.

01:40Obviously, they have Michael Carter.

01:42They have Bam Knight.

01:43They have low numbers because of how good Seattle's front seven is in run support.

01:48But again, I don't think they, I think they're going to be within the number.

01:54And I think their defense is not giving enough credit.

01:56Arizona, they can play.

01:58It's their offense at times that have let them down.

02:01Yeah.

02:02But I still think Arizona can play.

02:04And again, I think it's a lower scoring game.

02:06I like the under.

02:07But I'm going to take the seven with Jacoby Brissett.

02:10And I think they utilize more of a ball control type of attack that they did against Dallas

02:15to potentially pull it out.

02:17So I want to just bring something up, though, with Seattle.

02:20And I should ask you guys to pull up the Seahawks schedule.

02:24That's on me.

02:25But I'll go through it just quickly, okay?

02:27Who have they beaten?

02:29Well, just hold on.

02:29Niners, Steelers, Saints, Cardinals, Bucs, Jags, Texans, Commanders.

02:37Is there any argument that the two toughest teams they played were San Francisco and Tampa Bay?

02:44Is there any argument that it was anyone other than that?

02:46No.

02:47Well, they lost both games at home.

02:49Now, I understand it was by a combined seven, their road war.

02:54I get it.

02:55But the ease to which people will leap these lofty expectations, Seahawks are real Super Bowl contenders.

03:09Well.

03:10Hold on.

03:11Yeah, well.

03:11Hold on.

03:13I know.

03:13Like, I don't, like, are they?

03:16Well.

03:17Like, they are good.

03:19Joe, to your favor, why are they booked half of Tampa Bay?

03:23In what world?

03:25They played in Seattle, lost.

03:27The Bucs are minus 400, 500 to win a division.

03:31And the Seahawks are not favored to win their division.

03:33Because.

03:34What are we doing?

03:35Because it's perception.

03:37These markets are based off perception.

03:39It's not just that, though.

03:40No, it's not just that, but people have anointed them.

03:44Yeah.

03:44Because they're on their way to, one, crushing their win total at the start of the year.

03:52And that Donald now has taken off from where he did in the regular season with Minnesota.

04:00Because everybody thought he wasn't worth the money.

04:04And nobody thought he could duplicate the type of passing output.

04:08And he has.

04:09And I give him credit for that.

04:10But that's why.

04:11Sure.

04:12I give him credit for that.

04:13But, Joe, we saw him last year.

04:15I know.

04:16Play like this.

04:19And what was the end result?

04:21Like, it.

04:22They don't wow me.

04:23People in Seattle think that's unfair.

04:25Sorry.

04:26It is.

04:27I will say their defense.

04:30Now, maybe I saw them in the two primetime games.

04:33But, to me.

04:34The defense I always thought was going to be great.

04:36And the defense is great.

04:37That secondary is very difficult to throw on.

04:39I understand that.

04:40But just about every defense in this league can be had.

04:43Yeah.

04:43That's the reality of it right now.

04:44Baker sliced and diced them.

04:46No doubt about it.

04:47No doubt about it.

04:48No doubt about it.

04:49No doubt about it.

04:50No doubt about it.

04:51No doubt about it.

04:52No doubt about it.

04:53No doubt about it.

04:54No doubt about it.
