00:00All of a sudden, we're living in a world where the Jacksonville Jaguars
00:03in the one seed are being discussed.
00:06And it's not outrageous.
00:10The Jacksonville Jaguars, man, they felt in a bad spot, right?
00:15I mean, they went to London and got abused by the Rams.
00:21Travis Hunter lost for the season.
00:24You know, they win this close overtime game against the Raiders.
00:27You don't feel great about it.
00:28They blow this huge lead to the Texans.
00:31It seems 5-4, nothing to see here.
00:34They won five in a row.
00:36The impressiveness of those games, I think, is there.
00:41The quality of opponent is questionable.
00:44But the way they've looked, I think, has been impressive here.
00:47But they now have their toughest game in a month plus, going to Denver.
00:53The favorites to be the one seed.
00:55Favorites in the conference.
00:56Unbeaten at home.
00:58What are you really looking for here between Denver and Jacksonville?
01:01I'm looking for a step-up spot for Jacksonville.
01:04And I want to see if they can do it.
01:06I want to see if Trevor Lawrence and that offense can dominate the way they did it
01:10in the first half against the New York Jets.
01:12I mean, you blinked last week and they were up 21-0.
01:16It was ridiculous.
01:17We saw Brian Thomas get involved in the offense, which is always a positive sign.
01:22But Travis Etienne and that rushing attack are dominant.
01:25Liam Cohen has instilled the balance that he did at Tampa Bay, where they had one of the
01:31most dominant rushing attacks last year.
01:34And he elevated that team that was basically at the bottom of the NFL in rush offense two
01:41years ago and made them a legitimate contender and put them in a position to win games, not
01:48just in the regular season, but in the playoff environment.
01:51And when you look at if you're going to have to win games, especially like this one right
01:56now, they've won five straight, but they're going up against the hottest team in the NFL
02:00right now, winners of 11 straight in Denver.
02:03You know, Denver's undefeated at home by an average margin of victory, at least entering
02:08last week of 10 points per game.
02:10They dominate at home and they dominated Green Bay for the most part as a two and a half point
02:16underdog.
02:16When you look at this game, though, can they run the football effectively on the front seven
02:21of Denver?
02:21I think they can.
02:23What I need to see is can Trevor Lawrence play clean?
02:25If he can play clean, I think they have the potential to pull this game out.
02:31I like them plus the three and a half.
02:32I don't necessarily love the over here.
02:35I think it's more of an under type of game.
02:38I think Jacksonville potentially could win it.
02:40We're looking more like 21-17 in that aspect.
02:45I think it's, you know, both offenses will look to run the football a little bit more.
02:48We got a more of a playoff type of game in my Ohio high today, but I'll take a shot with
02:56the three and a half.
02:58So it's weird because I've been impressed by Jacksonville.
03:01I think Liam Cohen has a real coach of the year case.
03:03Yeah.
03:04Because he's got Trevor Lawrence playing clean football.
03:06But you look at the recent games and there's just, in these wins, right?
03:15Now, they did abuse the Chargers and I don't think that should be discredited.
03:19At Arizona in overtime, Trevor tried his absolute hardest to throw that game away.
03:23Three turnovers in that game.
03:25The Titans are obviously not good.
03:28And we all know that.
03:28And they abused them.
03:29And then home against Indianapolis, lose Daniel Jones in the game, and the Jets have just
03:34completely fallen apart.
03:35And now you go to Denver.
03:37I mean, just there's nothing in this class.
03:39But like I said, I've been impressed by Jacksonville.
03:41So I was trying to find ways where could there be some value.
03:44And look, I'll say it a few times through the show.
03:47Trevor Lawrence overpassed attempts is my favorite bet on this slate today.
03:50Is it?
03:50Okay.
03:51The number is 32 and a half.
03:52They've only lost four games.
03:53He's thrown the ball 40 or more times in three of the four losses.
03:56So that, to me, is almost a creative way of Bronco's money line a little bit, right?
04:02And getting, you know, Trevor to throw over 32 and a half.
04:06But I also, when I think about how do they want to attack Denver, I think right now what
04:11I'm seeing from Jacksonville is an emerging pass attack.
