00:00All right, we're back.
00:02You guys ready?
00:03Let's go!
00:15Icy.
00:18Set.
00:27Ready.
00:29This is the Pro Football Football Show, powered by Chevy Silverado.
00:35Welcome to the Pro Football Football Show presented by the Chevy Silverado.
00:38Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado,
00:41the NFL Playoff Edition Wild Card Weekend.
00:44Steven Che joining us.
00:46Stan, I know you're very excited about this.
00:48I just wanted to have him on.
00:50He's not in the playoffs.
00:51We want to make him feel welcome.
00:53But he did get to keep Todd Bowles who has won the division three out of four years
00:58in the most dominant first half of the decade.
01:02First half of the decade.
01:03One of the most dominant first half of the decade.
01:05But you wanted him fired.
01:07He's one of the most dominant coaches in the first half of the decade.
01:10I mean, it appeared the team quit on him.
01:13They did win the last game, which kind of changed things up.
01:16Oh great, momentum for next year.
01:19You can certainly say that.
01:20Let's see where things play out.
01:22They just fired their offensive coordinator, the quarterback coach.
01:24I guess they're falling on the sword.
01:26We'll see who they bring in.
01:28They have a good history of picking good offensive coordinators.
01:31Maybe the next one's going to be our guy.
01:33This is hoping.
01:34I've been saying they pick them so good that they become head coaches.
01:37Yeah.
01:38And that's been y'all downfall.
01:39Like, Baker has had a new coordinator every year he's there.
01:42So come on, give Bowles a little grace there.
01:44I know y'all got the boss said hi, but just remember.
01:46Give him some grace.
01:47Y'all still are the Buccaneers now.
01:49He just wants Gruden to go coach the Bucs.
01:52I do.
01:53Hey, come on, man.
01:54That's understandable.
01:55That's understandable.
01:56Yeah, don't do that.
01:57He can't put the car in reverse.
01:58He headed forward.
01:59He can't do that.
02:00Defensive coordinator, Raheem Morris is available.
02:02He'll look good in Washington.
02:04Raheem look good in Washington.
02:06I know.
02:07We've seen a lot of coaches get fired.
02:09Actually, right before we started this, we learned that Mike McDaniels has gotten fired.
02:13Fred, of all the coach firings, and we'll get into the games obviously, but just off the top,
02:16which ones surprised you the most?
02:17First of all, being in the league, none of them surprised me.
02:20The thing about it is, if you want to look at a fire coach, you showed me a bad quarterback
02:24situation.
02:25Now, Raheem in Atlanta, I thought they kind of pulled the cord too early.
02:31I thought he had something brewing there on defense.
02:33I think it was their fault for picking Michael Penix over Kirk Cousins to start.
02:38If you start Kirk Cousins and don't put him in the pistol, you got a legit chance to go
02:43win this division this year.
02:45So, I got to say Raheem in the foul, because what say you?
02:47Yeah.
02:48I'm trying to think.
02:49I kind of agree with you that none of them really surprised me.
02:53I think Kevin Stefanski is a very good coach.
02:56No, no.
02:57What did I tell you about Stefanski last time we here?
02:59We got to hold him accountable.
03:00He had 13 quarterbacks and they all stink.
03:03Baker is balling right now.
03:05Hold on, hold on.
03:06Kevin Stefanski, he won a playoff game for the Cleveland Browns.
03:09Ooh, let's talk.
03:10He was the head coach for the Cleveland Browns for six years.
03:12Fred, do you know how hard that is to do?
03:14Get this man the Nobel Peace Prize.
03:15Do you know how hard?
03:17To stay the NFL, to stay the head coach of the Cleveland Browns is one of the hardest
03:22things in the world to do.
03:23He did for six years.
03:24He went to the playoffs.
03:25Yeah.
03:26But after that, it was just quarterback after quarterback.
03:28And I refuse to believe 13 quarterbacks are no good.
03:31Listen, it didn't shock me that he got fired because it was brewing.
03:34So yeah, I don't think any of them really shocked me.
03:36Even John Harbaugh.
03:37He was, you know.
03:3818 years.
03:3918 years is a long time and it felt like there was going to be a change.
03:42So, it'll be interesting to see.
03:44You know, there's what, eight openings right now?
03:46It doesn't feel like there's a ton of great candidates either.
03:48Are we going to see more?
03:50Maybe.
03:51Depending on how this playoffs go.
03:54And looking at the records, Fred, you had another great week.
03:59Why, thank you.
04:00And so did Dan.
04:01I mean, I had a better week.
04:02Right.
04:03No, we had the same.
04:04Okay, but I'm 54% on the season.
04:06Do you know how hard that is to do?
04:07To pick every game and be 54%?
04:09I'm probably like 53 and a half.
04:11No, you're not.
04:12You're 99 and 93.
04:13You're 99 and 93.
04:14I don't know what the math is behind that.
04:16But we started late picking against the spread.
04:18It doesn't matter.
04:19But since I started picking against the spread, I've been right there.
04:21All right?
04:22Right there on it.
04:23Okay, okay.
04:24It's a wild card weekend.
04:25It's time to step up.
04:26So we're going to have, I mean, we're recording this Thursday morning.
04:28College football tonight.
04:29We have five straight days of playoff football.
04:31So a lot to get into.
04:33Let's get into the storyline game of the week presented by the Chevy Silverado.
04:36Che, we'll start with the Rams at the Panthers.
04:39The Rams minus 10 and a half.
04:40And I feel like when you look at all these playoff games, this one seems to be the one that people are least excited about just because the Panthers are there.
04:47But I'm going to let you go with, I mean, that's a big spread.
04:49Yeah.
04:50Saturday afternoon game is typically the least exciting game.
04:53But the Panthers did beat the Rams in week 13.
04:57Their formula that week was run the football.
04:59They ran it 35 times with running backs.
05:01Bryce Young only threw it 20 times.
05:03Stafford turned it over three times.
05:04Rico battle.
05:05Mm-hmm.
05:06Is he good?
05:07He's good.
05:08Maybe.
05:09Sometimes you got to just believe what you see.
05:11Where has he been?
05:13Both Panthers running backs have not been very strong recently.
05:16Chupa Hubbard has two games over 60 yards, I believe, on the season.
05:19Mm-hmm.
05:20Rico battle has been over 60 yards in a couple weeks.
05:22This is a team that I think is going to struggle against a number 10 scoring defense in the NFL.
05:27Fans only average 18 points game.
05:28They're not putting up a ton of points.
05:30Yeah.
05:31When they won in week 13, they did it with defense.
05:33The Rams also had a ton of success running the ball 20 times for 153 yards.
05:37That's 7.7 to carry in that game.
05:39If they can repeat that and just not turn the ball over, they're going to blow them out.
05:42Yeah, but Stafford had a bad game against the Panthers the first time.
05:45Yeah.
05:46I just also think, like, they're begging you to take the Panthers at plus 10 and a half in a home team playoff game.
05:52It's a setup.
05:53Setup.
05:54Rams are going to win by two touchdowns.
05:55Jer.
05:56Yeah.
05:57What's the Stafford stat you got for me in the rain?
06:001-8 in the rain.
06:011-8.
06:02Is it a rain?
06:03And it's supposed to rain.
06:04Wait.
06:05Actually?
06:061-8 in the rain.
06:07Sometimes you got to look deeper.
06:08All right?
06:09I got x-ray glasses on.
06:10That's a good stat.
06:11See, everybody want to jump on the Rams because they are the hot-it team.
06:14And Stafford is that prom queen.
06:17Everybody's probably going to get his MVP.
06:19Everything looks good.
06:20But I tell you what, this Carolina defense, Brown, Horn, the rest of these guys, they can go get it on defense.
06:27So I'm not going against the fact that the Rams are going to win.
06:30I'm going against the point spread being 10 points in a playoff game.
06:33I'm taking Carolina with the points, not the win, but the points is the only thing that matter right here.
06:39Dan, did you look it up?
06:40Is it?
06:41Yeah.
06:42I'm trying to find it.
06:43It says around 1-8 record with-
06:45Oh, I thought you were looking at that.
06:46I think there's a debate between 1-8 and 1-9.
06:48Okay.
06:49Because one of the games, like, it was, like, barely raining or something.
06:52Okay.
06:53Yeah, I mean, that's significant.
06:54Jer with the computer, baby.
06:55All right.
06:56Yeah, that's significant.
06:57Rico Daddle has not rushed for more than 60 yards in each of his last eight games.
07:01Well-
07:02What travels in the playoffs?
07:04Is it defense, run game, special teams, right?
07:08Yeah.
07:09Yeah, I mean, the Rams have a really good run game.
07:11Really good defense.
07:12And a really good run game.
07:13Both teams does.
07:14But we're talking about a team coming from California to the East Coast.
07:19Going to be a little nasty outside.
07:21The kinds of bowls, it kind of works into the flavor of the Panthers, all I'm saying.
07:26Not the win.
07:27Shane, does that change your pick?
07:29No.
07:30No.
07:31Bryce Young is going to have to throw it more than 20 times.
07:32They're going to get blown out.
07:33They're going to lose by 21 points.
07:34Yeah.
07:35Uh-huh.
07:36The football, Jesus.
07:37Yeah.
07:38Gotta love it.
07:39All right, Jerry.
07:40Jerry coordinator, playoff edition.
07:41Yeah.
07:42Listen, we got a new segment this week.
07:43Still Jerry coordinator.
07:44Yeah.
07:45Little twist for the playoffs.
07:46Oh, all right.
07:47Fred, defensive guru, he's going to draw a play.
07:49Oh.
07:50And I'm going to try to beat it.
07:51Oh.
07:52Oh.
07:53So he already knows my personnel.
07:54My personnel is three wide receivers.
07:56Oh, boy.
07:57One tight end and one running back.
07:58Yes.
07:59I know what group you're using.
08:01Let me get the pin.
08:03Get his ass, Fred.
08:04Get his ass, Fred.
08:05You already know it.
08:06You already know it.
08:07You already know it.
08:08You already know it.
08:10You already know.
08:11There's some whispering going on over there.
08:13I can't have you losing this, Fred.
08:14I'm not going to lose this.
08:16Uh, Madge, I need to know, are you going three by one or are you going two by two?
08:21Explain deeper.
08:22All right, this is what I'm saying.
08:24When I say three by one or two by two, are you going to put three wide receivers to the
08:28right, one by himself to the left?
08:30I mean, two wide receivers and a tight end?
08:32Two wide receivers and then one wide receiver.
08:35All right.
08:36So you're going to go three by one?
08:38Yeah.
08:39Two wide receivers on one side, one wide receiver on the other side.
08:41I got you.
08:42Yeah.
08:43Free safety here.
08:45And if you're blitzing, you've got to show me the blitz.
08:47I'm going to show you everything.
08:48Okay.
08:49And I'm going to tell you what we're doing at the cornerback position right now.
08:52We're playing, we're playing, uh, the corners are looking at number two.
08:57We're playing two to one.
08:58Okay.
08:59That means just because I'm lined up on number one, I'm actually eyeing number two.
09:03So if number two comes out, run anything from five yard to 10 yard out, I'm jumping it.
09:07Okay.
09:08Got you.
09:09Letting my safety go get number one.
09:10Okay.
09:11Got it.
09:12Got it.
09:13All right.
09:14All right.
09:15All right.
09:16Got my neck over here.
09:18Got my wheel over here.
09:20My wheel going to come down and blitz.
09:24Blitz.
09:25Blitz.
09:26Blitz.
09:27Blitz.
09:28And as you see, we finna make you throw this thing very high.
09:32Okay.
09:33Two to one.
09:34Two to one.
09:35If you go vertical, take him.
09:36I'm jumping it.
09:37You go vertical, take it.
09:38If both of them go vertical, take him.
09:39What's this guy doing?
09:40What's this guy doing?
09:41He right here in the middle.
09:42Okay.
09:43And this guy?
09:44Right here.
09:45Okay.
09:46Got it.
09:47This is my nook.
09:48What do you got, Jer?
09:49I'm going to see right now.
09:51There you go.
09:52All right.
09:53See what you got, Jer.
09:54Come on, Jerry.
09:56You know they ain't calling good plays.
09:58He was whispering to Steven J.
09:59Arthur Smith ain't calling good plays in Pittsburgh right now.
10:02He calls good plays.
10:03Aaron Rodgers doesn't run him.
10:04Nah, because Aaron Rodgers scared to throw the ball.
10:06He's scared to throw it over the middle.
10:08Yeah, if he get a pick, you know, oh God, whoa, it's me.
10:11How can Aaron Rodgers do that?
10:13I keep watching Che's face because I want to see.
10:16Don't be afraid to throw into the bloods.
10:18Throw it to him.
10:19The glimmer in his eye.
10:20But you know I'm throwing it two to one, right?
10:21Yeah.
10:22This is called gold cover.
10:24So that's what we play this for, for you to throw it hot.
10:27So you got the safety covering the outside receiver?
10:29Well, only if the outside receiver go vertical.
10:32But if he go vertical by himself over there, I'm going to carry him,
10:35and that safety going to stay inside.
10:36All right.
10:37Because you remember he three by one.
10:38Yeah.
10:39He three by one.
10:40We lock in the back side.
10:41That's basically playing two man under on the back side now.
10:43Mm-hmm.
10:44Safety's still too high safety.
10:46He going to have to work to do this.
10:48Oh, wait.
10:49He has his two receivers on the right side.
10:51Yes, I want that.
10:52With the tight end, right?
10:53That's the three.
10:54That's the three.
10:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:56That's the three.
10:57All right, Jerry.
10:58Okay.
10:59It ain't the answer, Jerry.
11:00Come on.
11:01Do it for the regular Joe.
11:03Against the pros.
11:05Is that deer guts on your back?
11:10Come on, Jerry.
11:13You got to go quicker than this.
11:15You've been sacked already.
11:17He love wheeling that running back.
11:20That's his favorite thing to do.
11:22Who do you got, Roger Craig?
11:25At the tailback?
11:26Who is keep running these goals?
11:28What do you think about that, Fred?
11:30All right.
11:31Let me tell you what's going to happen on this play.
11:33Looks like you got two guys running in the same spot.
11:35I feel the same.
11:36You got two guys.
11:37No, no, no, no, no.
11:38This is like.
11:39Mm-mm.
11:40He's going to clear out.
11:41Yeah, I want this guy clearing everybody out.
11:43Because he's gone, and you made him go hot.
11:45This cone is going to carry this.
11:47The safety is going to be right here.
11:48That's going to come right there to him.
11:50He's still going to be in this wonder.
11:51He's still going to be in this wonder.
11:53He's going to get hit.
11:54He's going to carry.
11:55Well, isn't this guy going to, like, think about, think about.
11:57Why would he, why would he go over there when it's going to go right to him?
12:00And he's going to be right under it.
12:01What about my quick, what about my quick slant against the Blitz?
12:03He's going to get killed by this middle linebacker.
12:05I'm going to get his head taken off.
12:07You're going to get people killed.
12:09He's going to get killed.
12:10He's going to get killed.
12:11He's going to get killed.
12:12All right, so how do you beat this then?
12:14All right.
12:17I thought I was good.
12:18No.
12:19Give me your pen.
12:23You go vertical here to stop him.
12:26You go vertical here.
12:27You see what you did right here?
12:29Mm-hmm.
12:30You could easily get him open by not taking him so deep.
12:33Breaking it off about right there.
12:35So now it's vertical.
12:36Vertical.
12:37There go your window because he got to carry.
12:39He got to carry.
12:40Nobody be right there.
12:41Fuck.
12:42Congrats.
12:43Damn.
12:44I was close.
12:45Che, did you want to step in at any point to help Jerry out?
12:49Yeah.
12:50I don't think he did a terrible job.
12:52I probably would have kept the running back into block.
12:54I think you're going against a lot of pressure on the left side.
12:56But Jerry was looking to expose the weakness.
12:59I think Fred articulated very well how the nickel's going to kind of stay
13:02and be waiting for that slant.
13:03So I think it was a nice little challenge.
13:06I'm going to beat this at least one time this whole play.
13:08Just remember this.
13:09It's from Greg Williams, Dick LeBeau.
13:11Dick LeBeau is from that hole right there.
13:14That tree right there.
13:15We like to talk trees.
13:16All right.
13:17You can't run the same defense, though, twice.
13:19No, that's fine.
13:20Deal? Okay.
13:21I got a whole new defense for you next week.
13:22Okay.
13:23Red zone next week, too.
13:24I like this.
13:25I like this.
13:26Yeah, I like it.
13:27I like it.
13:28All right, let's go to the next game of the week presented by the Chevy Silverado.
13:29Dan.
13:30Yes.
13:31The Packers at your Chicago Bears.
13:33Yes.
13:34Packers minus one and a half.
13:36And I know, Fred, you probably hate that we have to talk positively about the Bears.
13:39Hater Fred.
13:40Hater Fred.
13:41Don't tell us how they're going to lose.
13:42Hey, I don't hate the Bears.
13:44Neither do I.
13:45You just pick against them.
13:46Both of you are actually haters.
13:47I'm a bearer of truth.
13:48All right.
13:49Let me talk and then you guys will pick the Packers and then we'll be fine.
13:52He's not wrong.
13:53This is just a coin flip game.
13:55And I say this.
13:56Look, I think the Bears are going to win this game.
13:59I think they are healthier than the Packers and better than the Packers, especially running
14:08the football.
14:09But this is a coin flip game.
14:11We've played four games the last two years.
14:13It's two and two.
14:14Every single games come down to the last play 86 to 86.
14:18The Packers defense is not good.
14:20The Bears defense is not good.
14:22The Bears going to be able to force the other team into a mistake.
14:25Jordan Love's obviously been in the playoffs.
14:28The Bears defense does take the ball away really well.
14:30Caleb Williams has not been in the playoffs.
14:32It is a coin flip.
14:33It's a coin flip.
14:34So I'm going to fall back on home field Ben Johnson, Bear Weather, and Eddie and I are
14:42going to the game.
14:43So Bears are going to win.
14:44I thought Green Bay weather was.
14:46No, no.
14:47Bear weather is totally different.
14:48Totally different.
14:49You're talking about the wind off of Lake.
14:50That's what you're talking about.
14:51The wind off of Lake Michigan.
14:52No, I'm joking.
14:53They're the same exact weather.
14:54They're the same exact weather.
14:55But I just like to say Bear Weather.
14:56When I played in the division, I was like, up Chicago Green Bay does not matter.
14:59I just, like at the end of the day, and I wish I had a different answer, but I don't
15:04think either side can say that they're super confident about this game.
15:08If you talk to a Packers fan right now, my neighbor's a Packers fan, and we got into
15:13it a little bit in the alley the other night, and he was just like, I'm not really feeling
15:17confident.
15:18I was like, no, I'm not really feeling confident.
15:19We had a non-confident off.
15:20I like that.
15:21I like that.
15:22At least we were fine.
15:23The one big thing I'll say for the Bears is if Kyler Gordon can play, I do think that's
15:30significant.
15:31Kyler Gordon is a really, really good slot corner.
15:33He is.
15:34We've had a lot of trouble covering the middle of the field because the Bears defense is
15:38slow.
15:39Jalen Johnson is coming back from injury.
15:41He does not look good.
15:42The linebackers are slow.
15:43I think Kyler Gordon adds an element where you can maybe get one or two of these third
15:48downs where you get off the field because he's that good.
15:52So, that would be the big piece to me, and Roma Duneze might be back.
15:56But yeah, it's a coin flip, and I'm taking the Bears, but it's a coin flip.
15:59I'm being honest.
16:00It's one of those games where it's damned if you do, damned if you don't.
16:04Right.
16:05Like you say, once you're playing a team for the third time, if you're going to put your
16:08money on that game, you are a fool.
16:09A third time in like six weeks.
16:11I'm going to say like in the same month.
16:13December.
16:14December, January.
16:15Yeah.
16:16I know every trick you got.
16:17You know every trick that I got.
16:18So, I ask myself, does Green Bay have a number one receiver?
16:21Most people say no.
16:22I say yes.
16:23Kristen Watson, since he got back, he takes the top off.
16:27The question is, Big Catfish, who can run the ball the best?
16:31I do think the Bears can.
16:33Josh Jacobs, but then Josh Jacobs has been banged up, but he's also sat the last couple
16:38of weeks.
16:39But I do think the Bears are elite at running the ball.
16:42They're mirror images of this team.
16:46Like even the Packers had Zach Tom out for a couple weeks, and he's a very good offensive
16:51lineman.
16:52He's coming back.
16:53So, it's like we have, this game has tortured me.
16:56I'm just ready for it to kick off because I think it's important.
16:58The ultimate separator is, which coach would you choose in the playoff situation?
17:01I think I'd take Ben Johnson.
17:03Over the coach that's been there, done that did that.
17:05Over the guy that proved that I can't play.
17:06Listen, Matafor's a good coach, but what has he been and done?
17:10I mean, he's got.
17:11He's one playoff game.
17:12I know, he's one playoff game.
17:13With the same quarterback.
17:14Yes, absolutely.
17:15Absolutely.
17:16So, the coaching teeters goals to the Green Bay.
17:19The running game, equal.
17:20Defense, that's the other thing that travels.
17:23Who you give the defense to now?
17:25I think they're both just bad.
17:26Your defense takes them away.
17:27I think they're both bad.
17:28I think they're both bad.
17:29Listen.
17:30I really do.
17:31I think they're both bad defenses.
17:32I'm going to do what I always do, and let's go with the smarter pick.
17:36I'm going with the Packers of Green Bay.
17:39See, I knew you were.
17:40And I assume you are, too.
17:41This game is going to be decided in two factors, I think.
17:44Turning the ball over, which the Bears are number one turnover differential team in the league.
17:49They've played twice in the game that the Packers won.
17:52It was an even turnover differential.
17:53The game is the Bears won.
17:54The Bears won the turnover differential.
17:56If the Bears win that, I think they can win this game.
17:58No, they definitely win this game if they win that.
18:00Yes.
18:01This is how they win games.
18:03The Bears can win the Super Bowl if they get three turnovers every game.
18:06This is the other key to the game.
18:07I think third.
18:08I can, too.
18:09When the Packers are on offense, third and fourth down.
18:12The Packers lead the league in third down conversion, 49%.
18:16In the first two games, they were eight for 12 on third down in the game they won.
18:21The game they lost, they were six for 12, but one for three on third downs.
18:24I think that can carry over.
18:27If they can convert third downs regularly, I think they have a very good shot to win this game.
18:33That being said, the Bears are a really good running football team.
18:36Number three in the NFL.
18:37The Packers number 18 run defense.
18:38Give me the Bears in a close game.
18:40Ooh.
18:41How does that make you feel?
18:42I don't really.
18:43I actually did not listen to anything he said.
18:45So, I, the, it also really comes down to the Bears.
18:50Can the Bears start faster than they've started?
18:52Because in the two games they played against the Packers, they needed, they played absolutely
18:56awful in the first half.
18:58And they needed heroics in the end.
19:00I think that once you get in the playoffs, you can't play that game where it's like,
19:03hey, we're not going to run out of time.
19:05So, they have to start fast.
19:06They have to get some first downs early.
19:09Because what's been happening is the teams have come out and like the Lions did it.
19:12The Lions had the ball for like eight minutes to start the game.
19:14Yes, long drive.
19:15The Bears get the ball.
19:16They go three and out.
19:17Then the Lions had the ball again.
19:18And now all of a sudden you look up, it's five minutes left in the second quarter.
19:21You're like, we've had the ball twice.
19:23Got to get, receive the ball first, run the ball, win the game.
19:28In the two games they played, they're running out of 4.6 yards per clip.
19:31Yeah.
19:32That's pretty good.
19:33Yeah, no.
19:34Both defenses stink.
19:35You sound nervous.
19:36I am.
19:37You sound nervous.
19:38100%.
19:39And this is why I'm happy about my pick now.
19:40Casey, do you remember the last time Che was on this show?
19:43Yes.
19:44On the record, right?
19:45It was terrible.
19:46It was.
19:47So now that Che has picked the Bears, I feel good.
19:50It was very bad.
19:51And Coach Gruden did point that out.
19:53Yeah, he pointed it out.
19:54Like, you left him hanging.
19:56My survivor pick was the Bucs to beat the Saints.
19:58They lost, so.
19:59And oh, shucks.
20:00You got shucked.
20:01Dan, I know that this is a conversation everybody's having.
20:04And I even asked the guy that made my coffee this morning, because he's a Bears fan.
20:07If you guys do lose this game, what does that mean for the season?
20:10I feel like.
20:11It was bad.
20:12No, it doesn't.
20:13It don't mean that.
20:14Come on, you ain't been in the playoffs in a long time.
20:16It's the Packers.
20:17Come on, Caleb Williams just broke the single season record for a passing quarterback.
20:20The future is so bright, the season was bad.
20:23Like, we lost to the Packers in the playoffs.
20:24That's brutal.
20:25In the wild card, right?
20:26Yeah, I mean, I'm not talking about the future.
20:27I'm not going to be like, oh, Ben Johnson's got to go.
20:29Oh, Caleb Williams is the guy.
20:31That's, we're good for the future.
20:33This season, if we lose to the Packers, we'll be bad.
20:36Congratulations.
20:37Jerry, how do you feel about this game?
20:39I like the Bears in this game.
20:40I do.
20:41I do.
20:42I like Ben Johnson a lot.
20:44I think he's going to do some things that are going to expose that Packers defense.
20:48Well, you know, the Bears are going to have a great defense, but I don't know.
20:51I feel like home field is big in this game, and I like the Bears.
20:54All right.
20:55I'm going to talk about him, Lear Kent, because he's just a brother of Kent.
20:58Bareweather.
20:59Bareweather.
21:00I know ball.
21:01We'll wait until the Steelers pick.
21:02I can't do that.
21:03Yeah.
21:04Oh, listen.
21:05That's going to be an easy pick right there.
21:06It's over.
21:07We'll get to that in a little bit.
21:08But first, we're going to go to the playbook picks presented by DraftKings, the DraftKings

21:23Okay, Fred Smoot.
21:24Yes.
21:25Your playbook pick, the Bills at the Jags.
21:27Where are we going with it?
21:28I hate to pick against Superman.
21:30I really do.
21:31I really do.
21:32I don't care if he show up as Clark Kent.
21:34He's just special.
21:35One of the best superheroes you can ever do.
21:37But it's hard to write a movie for him sometimes, because he doesn't have flaws.
21:40Let me tell you something about The Prince Who Was Promised.
21:42Nobody wants to give Trevor Lawrence his props.
21:44Trevor Lawrence has been almost flawless this year.
21:47And it's not just with his arm, and it's not just with his legs.
21:51He brought the guys in the huddle in week three.
21:54Y'all know he's a devout Christian.
21:56I heard him say, damn, hell, and ass in the same sentence.
22:02And I knew that this was going to be a hell of a season for him, because now he don't give a damn.
22:08I'm telling you right now, the Jaguars are dangerous, and they really dangerous down there.
22:13And Duval County, head coach got them believing.
22:18They will beat the Buffalo Bills this weekend.
22:21What do you think about Trevor Lawrence's grill?
22:23I love his grill.
22:24I love it, too.
22:25I love it.
22:26No, I'm going to tell you what I do love.
22:27And just honest, he's happy playing football.
22:29You can feel it coming off of him.
22:32And the receivers that he have right now, he can pick any man to beat you any game.
22:39And it's just not by Trevor Lawrence.
22:41That defense, put some respect on their name.
22:43That defense can play with anybody in the league.
22:46I'm telling you right now, Jacksonville over the Bills.
22:49And this is supposed to be Josh Allen's year.
22:51All the guys that hated on him are not in the playoffs.
22:54No Patrick Mahomes.
22:55No Lamar Jackson.
22:56Just Josh Allen by himself.
22:58I think the young guy is coming for him right now.
23:00Dan, what do you think?
23:01Yeah, I mean, the Bills defense is really bad.
23:02I think Josh Allen can be great and still lose this game.
23:05Here's the problem with this game for me is I think I respect the hell out of Jaguars.
23:09I've been on the Jaguars a bunch.
23:11I've been playing great.
23:12You do not.
23:14He said the Jaguars are going to win four games this year.
23:17Che has been wrong the whole year.
23:19It's just been a bad year for picking for them.
23:21To Bills, so whatever pick I make here, I'm going to lose.
23:26And I would rather lose going down with, like, Josh Allen than have pick the Jaguars and
23:32have Josh Allen go crazy and be like, what were you thinking, dude?
23:35You love Josh Allen.
23:36So I'm going to take the Bills.
23:37I don't love it.
23:38This game is impossible to me.
23:39I think both these teams.
23:40Before Che go, the only thing that can stop Josh Allen is who?
23:44Josh Allen?
23:45Yeah.
23:46They got a Josh Allen on the defense on the other side.
23:49They do.
23:50The only thing that can stop him is a mirror of his head.
23:53He put the hands in there because him and Josh Allen kept getting mixed up all the time.
23:58You're right.
23:59So when you're looking in the mirror, Josh Allen is the only thing that can stop Josh Allen.
24:03Damn.
24:04Damn, that is.
24:06That's a wrinkle not many people are thinking about.
24:08This is a matchup of strong on strong.
24:10The Bills are the number one rushing offense.
24:11The Jags are the number one rushing defense.
24:13Who's going to win that matchup?
24:16I like James Cook and the Bills.
24:18I think the Jags are really, really good.
24:20If you boil it down, this is kind of a coin flip game.
24:22Give me the much better quarterback.
24:24And that's no shade on Trevor Lawrence.
24:25Josh Allen might be the best quarterback in the NFL.
24:28On third downs, Buffalo's number four on offense going against the number 20 third down defense.
24:34I like Josh Allen to make some plays in this.
24:35I think it'll be a close game.
24:36I think Buffalo ekes it out.
24:38Does this have anything to do with the fact you only thought they were going to win four games?
24:41No, I mean, I think it would be much better for me.
24:44So Super Bowl week, I have to dye my hair like a Jaguar.
24:47Nice.
24:48And I am going to be in a custom Jags jersey, a different one or a different name on it every day.
24:53So it would behoove me if there are a lot of Jags fans there so I can kind of blend in.
24:58Yeah.
24:59So it wouldn't be the worst thing for me in the world if the Jags went to the Super Bowl.
25:02And they absolutely could.
25:03But this is a tough matchup.
25:05Did you forget that Josh Allen has no receivers?
25:08Did you forget that they defense get ran through like ex-lex?
25:13Did you not forget?
25:14The last three weeks their run defense has been a lot better.
25:17And my uncle has been a lot better the last three weeks too.
25:19Against the Jets?
25:20Counting the Jets game?
25:21The Jets.
25:22The last three weeks.
25:23Don't do that to yourself.
25:25Are you forgetting about Travis Etienne?
25:27Are you forgetting about Brian Thomas?
25:29Did you forget about the MVP?
25:30Brian Thomas is their third best wide receiver by the way.
25:32That's what, that's it.
25:33He's not even that good.
25:34He's that good.
25:35Parker Washington and Chicago Myers.
25:37They got dudes.
25:38Yeah, they got dudes over there that can break a game wide open
25:41where one guy is toting the team by himself.
25:44This is not the time to have to toe the team by yourself in the playoff.
25:47We've seen Lamar Jackson fail at this one little zig thing many times.
25:52And Che, you ain't, you just gonna look past it.
25:54Because you hate the Jaguars.
25:55No, I do not hate the Jaguars.
25:57I think Liam Cohen is one of the top probably five coaches in the NFL
26:01after this season.
26:02I mean, incredible turn on.
26:03He absolutely deserves a ton of thought for Coach Theodore.
26:06Obviously, Vrabel is the betting favorite right now,
26:08which is deserved as well.
26:09But, boil it down.
26:11I think this is pretty close to a coin flip game.
26:13Who's taken Trevor Lawrence as good as he's been over Josh Allen?
26:16Me and Jerry.
26:17Me and Jerry going to the game.
26:18We're gonna sit in that pool in the Jaguars stadium.
26:21And we're gonna watch.
26:22It's filthy.
26:23We're gonna sit in that pool and we're gonna enjoy ourselves.
26:27Like, shirts off.
26:28Yeah, yeah.
26:29Tarts off.
26:30All right, Dan, your playbook picked the 49ers at the Eagles.
26:33Yeah, I'm not overthinking this one.
26:36I think the Eagles are gonna beat the Niners by a touchdown plus.
26:39And here's why.
26:40The Niners defense is terrible.
26:41The Niners defense is still even more injured.
26:43So they somehow got more injured than already being the most injured defense ever.
26:47I don't know who's playing linebacker.
26:49A little linebacker, yeah.
26:50Yeah.
26:51Trent Williams, I don't know if he's gonna play.
26:53Ricky Pearsall is maybe not gonna play.
26:55The Eagles offense is hard to watch.
26:58But they will be able to move the ball on this Niners defense.
27:02And I think on the other side, I think the Eagles defense is very underrated.
27:07One of the best units out there in the playoffs.
27:10I think they're gonna slow down the Niners just enough.
27:12I like the Eagles by a touchdown.
27:14Che, what do you think?
27:15I think the Eagles are gonna roll too.
27:17The last three games, Jalen Hurts, six touchdowns, passing, no interceptions.
27:21And Saquon Barkley, as washed as I have said he's been in the past.
27:25Last four games, 21 carries, 100 yards, a touchdown a game.
27:29I think the, especially with Lane Johnson coming back,
27:31we don't know the health right now of Trent Williams, as Big Cat mentioned,
27:34and Ricky Pearsall.
27:35Give me the Eagles.
27:36If common sense was common, this would be a better world that we live in.
27:40All right?
27:41Sometimes you gotta look at it and say this.
27:43Jalen Hurts, he doesn't look well in the regular season.
27:46But it's the switch in the postseason.
27:49And he turns into everything that I ever wanted in a quarterback.
27:53A.J. Brown finally puts his Bible down and just starts to play football.
27:57Devontae Smith runs past people all the time.
28:01Staquon Barkley, he stays calm until it's time to get it done.
28:05The only weakness that this Eagles team doesn't have that was a sprint last year
28:10was they offensive line was intact.
28:12All right?
28:13Johnson is back.
28:14All right?
28:15When he is in the game, they win.
28:18Kent said it about that defense.
28:19Mm-hmm.
28:20I don't even know how they can be underrated.
28:21Mm-hmm.
28:22All right?
28:23One of the best defenses in football.
28:25And then you talking about one of the hardest environments to go in there
28:28and get a win with those bleacher creatures in Philadelphia?
28:31I'm going with the Philadelphia Eagles.
28:33I don't even think this one gonna be close.
28:35One turnover by Purdy, you gonna see an avalanche.
28:38I'm telling you like this.
28:39It's gonna be a long trip back to the Bay.
28:41No team ever plays in the Super Bowl the year that they host the Super Bowl.
28:46All right?
28:47It's gonna be over for San Francisco.
28:48Oh, 2021.
28:49Yeah.
28:50The Bucs and the Rams.
28:51Stop.
28:52Don't be bringing that over here.
28:53Don't be bringing that over here.
28:54Don't be bringing that over here.
28:55I knew that.
28:56I seen Tampa with not on your face.
28:58He must've done a nose.
29:00All right.
29:01Let's go.
29:02You picked, right?
29:03Yeah?
29:04Yeah.
29:05Just making sure.
29:06Okay.
29:07Fox one rapid fire picks of the week.
29:09Fox one star your seven day free trial today offers our subject to change.
29:12Go to Fox one for complete terms and conditions.
29:15The Chargers at the Patriots.
29:17You brought up Vrabel earlier.
29:19Obviously an incredible season for the Patriots.
29:21Justin Herbert versus Drake May.
29:23Who you taking?
29:25I'm gonna go with the MVP finals.
29:27Maybe the MVP in Drake May.
29:29Justin Herbert has thrown interception in five of his last six games.
29:32And for all the accolades and you know, he gets a lot of praise.
29:35Lad McConkey.
29:36Where is he gone?
29:37He has not had more than 43 yards since November 16th.
29:40Averaging 26 yards a game over the past six weeks.
29:43I don't know how they're gonna muster enough offense.
29:46And Justin Herbert has been, you know, despite the turnover stat,
29:48I think he has been playing pretty well with limited weapons.
29:51Drake May though 230 plus yards in 13 games this season.
29:55Give me Drake May and the Patriots to roll.
29:58Are you only gonna just talk about one side of the ball?
30:00Yep.
30:01This out like I'm taking the Chargers plus three and a half.
30:04Chargers defense is very, very good.
30:07The Patriots have not played a top 10 defense in, I don't know, two months.
30:11So, this is not, Justin Herbert is kind of, he's not irrelevant in this game,
30:16but I don't think that's what the deciding factor is.
30:18I think it's the fact that the Chargers are gonna defensively be able to keep the Patriots down.
30:23And the Patriots defense, while decent, they're in the middle of the road, they don't get to the passer like at an exceptional level.
30:32And that's the weakness for the Chargers.
30:33They can't block up front.
30:35I don't think this is a game that like, this is a huge issue.
30:38So, I like the Chargers plus three and a half.
30:40I like the number four scoring defense.
30:42They take the ball away.
30:43Scoring defense means nothing.
30:44It's the difference between scoring defense and total defense.
30:46Yeah.
30:47I'm talking about like actually stopping you, getting sacks, getting to the passer.
30:50What do you mean like points given?
30:52No, no.
30:53He's saying.
30:54Number nine.
30:55They have the number nine pass defense, number six rush defense too.
30:58So, it's not like they're slouches.
30:59But, but.
31:00No, no.
31:01They, no, no.
31:02Rush defense, the only reason they have that because they go up by 14 points and your team
31:05can't run the ball no more.
31:06And they play against several teams.
31:07I'm talking about EPA.
31:08Okay.
31:09And they played against the, who did they play against the Pac-12 this year?
31:12Like they played against Snow White.
31:13They played who you haven't really played.
31:14They've been very good.
31:15I totally understand.
31:16But it's a hard game to pick because when you're missing Joe Ock in that offensive line at the
31:21Chargers, I don't want to pick them against anybody.
31:24But all I see Hobart go out there and do is problem solve.
31:27If they have a problem, he goes out there and solve it.
31:29If they need to throw the ball 50 times, they throw it 55 times.
31:31If they need to run the ball 40 times, they run the ball 40 times.
31:35I got.
31:36Yeah.
31:37They're 19th in success rate against, which is kind of what I'm talking about.
31:40They're middle of the road.
31:41Okay.
31:42So, I don't just look at, you're just looking at like just yards.
31:45Okay.
31:46Well, yeah.
31:47You said totally.
31:48No, but yeah.
31:49I mean, that has a lot of game flow in it.
31:51One of these home teams have to lose.
31:52Sorry.
31:53Every home team would not win.
31:54And if I had to pick a home team not to win, it would be the team that hasn't been battle-tested
31:59during the year.
32:00It would be the team that has a young quarterback that's playing in his first playoff game.
32:05It would be the team with the story running back playing in his first playoff game.
32:08It would be the team that I don't even know if Stephon Diggs is going to play.
32:11It would be the team that has the ifs.
32:14I'm going to go with the Chargers.
32:15I'm with Kate.
32:16I can't believe it.
32:17I'm about to throw up in my mouth.
32:18Uh-huh.
32:19Che, you're going to stick with your point?
32:21No.
32:22Yeah.
32:23Page Patriots big.
32:24Three and a half is too small in my opinion.
32:25You better bet it.
32:26Of course.
32:27Well, no.
32:28You always bet just parlay.
32:29You don't bet straights.
32:30You better bet a straight bet.
32:32Magic Moneyline last night.
32:33Bang.
32:34Okay.
32:35That's not a spread bet.
32:36That's not a spread bet.
32:37No.
32:38You're going to bet the Patriots minus three and a half.
32:40Yeah.
32:41Great.
32:42Glad we're all on the same page.
32:43This is why it's fun to play the game.
32:44Yeah.
32:45Jerry.
32:46Yes.
32:47Big one for you.
32:48Monday night.
32:49Can't wait.
32:50Listen, I'll break it down real simple for Fred so we can understand this.
32:51Fred.
32:52Texans, it's Steelers.
32:53In Pittsburgh, Monday night football.
32:56Steelers haven't lost since what?
32:5892, I think it is, on Monday night football in Pittsburgh.
33:01The Steelers, Danny brought up EPA.
33:03Steelers are 14th in EPA.
33:04Texans not even in the top 20.
33:06Steelers underrated offensive line, right?
33:09They are allowing a 25% pressure rate, which is pretty damn good.
33:14Texans, you know what that is?
33:1640%.
33:17This battle is going to be one of the trenches.
33:19Steelers underrated offensive line, okay?
33:21CJ Stroud, let me explain something, has never won a football game under 35 degrees.
33:28He has zero wins.
33:29He's 0-4 in that weather.
33:31It's going to be 31 degrees in Pittsburgh.
33:33I'm going to take the experience in Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in this game.
33:37They're going to win.
33:38They might not dominate, but it's going to be low scoring.
33:40I could see 2017, something like that.
33:42But Steelers will win this game, Fred.
33:44Hey, listen.
33:45He is nitpicking with the best of them right now.
33:48Four degrees.
33:49The guy played at Ohio State.
33:52Don't do it.
33:53I'm not talking about college.
33:54That's what I was going to say.
33:55There's just no way he's talking about college.
33:56I'm just saying, though.
33:57I could see if he was a Florida boy or something.
33:59I've been in Florida my whole life.
34:00He's in the dome, Fred.
34:01I could see if he was two of them.
34:03Listen to me.
34:04I'm going to paint a picture for you, Jer.
34:05Paint it.
34:06Me, CJ Scribe, and Moses.
34:10He parched that filthy three rivers you got over there.
34:13We walk down through the riverbed so I can go to a bar and get drunk as I watch the Texans
34:19sack your quarterback, dirty old man, thousands of times.
34:24I don't know if you've seen Will Anderson and the rest of those guys.
34:28Tell me this.
34:29Hmm.
34:30Who's going to beat anybody in that defensive backfield for the Houston, Texas?
34:34It won't be DK.
34:35Who are you going to beat?
34:36Diana Washington not playing.
34:37They don't have to.
34:38They don't have to.
34:39They just jump it off.
34:40You'll never see it coming.
34:41They can dunk you to death.
34:42Another dump off.
34:43You see what he's doing to you?
34:45He baiting you.
34:46No, I'm not.
34:47He knows that.
34:48I know a dump off.
34:49You don't have a chance to dance this week.
34:51Dan, they're not ready for the dump off.
34:52That's what it is.
34:53No, you're not ready for the dump off.
34:54Listen, let me ask you a question.
34:55If you have three dump offs in a row, what are you thinking as a defensive player?
34:59There's no way they'll dump it off a fourth time.
35:01Boom.
35:02Dump off.
35:03No, no.
35:04If it's Aaron Rodgers.
35:05I'm like, he want to get it out of his head.
35:06He don't want to get hit.
35:07He don't want to throw picks.
35:08Dump off.
35:09He's not ready.
35:10He's not ready.
35:11You think you're ready.
35:12You ain't ready.
35:13I know who he is ready.
35:14The Houston, Texas.
35:15No.
35:16No.
35:17Nobody's ready for that.
35:19No, you don't, you don't just, you can't just roll out of bed and be ready for the amount
35:23of dump offs that they're going to throw in your face.
35:24Yeah, you are.
35:25No.
35:26We can only hit game well, and the other guys, so many times before they give it up.
35:30I'm telling you, this is, Jerry's right in this game.
35:33I think the Steelers are going to cover it.
35:34I think they might win.
35:35They're not going to win.
35:36Here's the thing.
35:38It's, it's all about matchups, just similar to like the Chargers Patriots matchup where
35:43I don't think the Patriots defensive line is that exceptional.
35:46So it doesn't take advantage of the weakness.
35:49It's the reverse here.
35:50The best part of the Steelers team is their defensive line.
35:53The worst part of the Houston team is their offensive line.
35:56They ain't saying much.
35:57But what I'm saying is, they're going to keep, the Steelers will stay in this game because
36:02of that matchup.
36:03Like, I agree that the, the, the, the Texans defense is incredible.
36:07Lights out.
36:08They will be able to, like, it's going to be really hard for the Steelers to get yards.
36:11It's going to be filthy looking.
36:12It's going to be really hard for the Steelers to get points.
36:14But the same can be said on the other side.
36:16So now you're in a game that is gross, that the Steelers are going to drag you into the depths.
36:21But, but no, no, no.
36:23Mike Tomlin at home, Monday night football.
36:26The Steelers drag you into this ugly, gross game, and they win by a field goal.
36:30That's what they do.
36:31They feel is gross.
36:32Everything's gross.
36:33Do you think you're maybe talking yourself into this?
36:35No.
36:36As if the Texans win, that your pinky gets a little bit closer to the end.
36:40This is the first round.
36:41It's the first round.
36:42It's the first round.
36:43But if they, but if they lose, then you don't have to worry about it at all.
36:45Yeah, I know.
36:46This is in the Super Bowl.
36:47I'm telling you, I'm taking the Steelers plus three.
36:48This is a, I think they will drag this, the Texans into a game the Texans don't want
36:52to be.
36:53D.C.
36:54I know a good guy with prosthetics.
36:55Great.
36:56I won't have to worry about it.
36:57I won't have to worry about it.
36:58It ticks.
36:59I think this is going to be a low scoring game.
37:02Aaron Rodgers hasn't thrown a pick since November 9th, which is great.
37:05CJ Stroud also, in four of his last five games, has not thrown an interception.
37:09This is where I don't care what he says about Kevin Williams, because when he says Aaron
37:13Rodgers hasn't thrown a pick, it's like if you watch the game, he's scared to throw
37:18the ball.
37:19He's scared to throw the ball.
37:20So that's not a good stat.
37:21It's actually a bad stat.
37:22Chris.
37:23I don't think, I don't think the Steelers are going to be able to push the ball down the
37:26field, which we've talked about with the dump offs.
37:27I don't think they're going to be able to run the ball.
37:29I think it's going to be a tough situation.
37:30As far as kicking Chris Boswell, you know, this is a tight spread.
37:33It's three points.
37:34Chris Boswell has missed a kick field goal or extra point in three straight weeks.
37:37I think the Steelers are going to have a lot of trouble scoring.
37:39That's not a surprise.
37:40Give me the Texans big.
37:41Wait, but you just said it's going to be low scoring.
37:44Yeah.
37:45So the Texans big.
37:46Give me a final score.
37:4721-10.
37:48Okay.
37:49Yeah.
37:50All right.
37:51I see that.
37:52Fair answer.
37:53Yeah.
37:54What do you think here?
37:55Yeah.
37:56I mean, we're going to find out Monday night, right?
37:57Yeah.
37:58So we'll see.
37:59The best man win, Fred.
38:00Hey.
38:01And Che.
38:02Yeah, Che too.
38:03The Texans win by 11.
38:04Hey, you got your version.
38:05I got the truth.
38:06Hey, I just had a big touchdown parlay.
38:08Let's talk about that.
38:09How's the data doing?
38:10Let's talk about that giant touchdown parlay.
38:11How many you got?
38:12Just as curious.
38:13You got it all back with the touchdown parlay.
38:15Oh, yeah.
38:16Separate to the data.
38:17Yeah.
38:18Ask about the data.
38:19The data's down about 24 units.
38:20Okay.
38:21That's why you don't need analytics.
38:22You need smooth analytics.
38:23If you need somebody, just hit me up.
38:25I'll make sure I give you, you know, how I get things done.
38:28Two plus two equal four, you know?
38:29Listen, I give Che shit right now, but if he's right and I'm wrong, I'm gonna have to eat the crow.
38:33That's the best part about these type of shows and these type of picks.
38:36Mm-hmm.
38:37All right.
38:38So then speaking of, let's do hot takes for the wild card weekend.
38:40Dan, you got a hot take?
38:41Mmm.
38:42Using smooth-o-lytics?
38:43You should.
38:44Mmm.
38:45What's my hot take?
38:47Mmm.
38:48He's just thinking about the Bears right now.
38:51That's all he can think about.
38:52I understand.
38:53I do too.
38:54Yeah, Caleb Williams is gonna throw for three touchdowns.
38:57Three touchdowns.
38:58Three.
38:59Three.
39:00Right in your face.
39:01I knew you had to do some Chicago Bears thing.
39:02The three right in your face.
39:03Right in your face.
39:04He couldn't figure anything else out.
39:05Right in your face.
39:06Three.
39:07Who the touchdowns gonna be to?
39:09Two to Colson Loveland.
39:11Mmm.
39:12And then one to Luther Burton.
39:14You love that Luther Burton.
39:15I do love Luther Burton.
39:16Most people love Luther.
39:18Yeah.
39:19Fred, your hot take.
39:20My hot take is this.
39:21Can we all agree that the Rams, Matthew Stafford, is gonna probably be the league MVP?
39:27Mm-hmm.
39:28What if I told you the league MVP has a chance to not win against the spread in the first
39:34week of the playoffs?
39:35Mmm.
39:36I didn't say not win the game.
39:38What about the rain?
39:39I said, huh?
39:40The rain.
39:41Rain.
39:42Yeah, you might not win the game.
39:43That's a generous stat.
39:44You might not win the game.
39:45I don't like to jump on the back of generous stat.
39:47Cuz I don't even know what this Google engine machine is.
39:50Yeah, I know.
39:51That's true.
39:52Yeah, I don't know what he uses.
39:53All right?
39:54So what I'm saying is, what if I told you the MVP is gonna get pushed to the brink by
39:59Bryce Young and the Panthers and do not, do not meet the spread?
40:03I didn't say don't win.
40:04Okay.
40:05They will not meet the spread in Carolina, cuz it's gonna rain.
40:09And you can't stop if it rains.
40:12All right, Che, you got a hot take?
40:14Jalen Hurts is going to account for four touchdowns rushing and passing.
40:18Oh, I like that.
40:19Okay.
40:20This week against the Niners, because the Niners defense is very poor.
40:23Jalen Hurts, again, last three games, six touchdowns, no picks.
40:25I think they're gonna be able to run the ball.
40:26Jalen Hurts is gonna be able to move it, passing and rushing.
40:28Jalen Hurts, four total touchdowns.
40:30I like that, Che.
40:31I like that, Che, cuz they work well under chaos.
40:33If any team works well under chaos, it's the Philadelphia Eagles.
40:36They're in constant chaos.
40:37No, no.
40:38They hate each other.
40:39They take the vision of their city.
40:40Their city works well under chaos.
40:42Okay, I've been really looking forward to how this is gonna flush out.
40:45So the survivor pool picks for the playoff.
40:47Dan, you won last week.
40:48Yeah, again.
40:49Yeah.
40:50So I'm in.
40:51I won the 2,000 from Cherry.
40:52Yeah, but I won the first two when the season started.
40:54Right, but the last two were the most important one.
40:56Okay, but then we're even.
40:57So it's technically two to two.
40:59Yes.
41:00But Dan's the boss.
41:01All right, so what are we gonna play for?
41:03A $500 free bet.
41:06What is that?
41:08Like a free bet.
41:09Like free stuff to like a coffee shop?
41:11No, like a free bet on football parlay.
41:14All right, all right.
41:15That's not enough.
41:16That's not enough.
41:17No, I'll do it.
41:18He doesn't have, he spends his money on stupid shit.
41:21Yeah.
41:22Like camouflage.
41:23Yeah, yeah.
41:24All right, fine.
41:26Fine, so just me versus you though.
41:28Just me versus you.
41:29All right.
41:30And can we agree on something?
41:31You can't pick someone, a team twice.
41:34Okay, can we agree that we can't take the Rams?
41:37What are you talking about?
41:38Why?
41:39For the survivor?
41:40Why?
41:41Why?
41:42I mean, because they're like a massive spread.
41:43Okay, I'm gonna go first.
41:44Okay.
41:45I'm gonna take the Rams.
41:49I mean, that's crazy, though.
41:50Why?
41:51I just told you how the Rams might not even.
41:53Because I'm at a disadvantage now.
41:54No, you're not.
41:55The Rams might not even make the spread.
41:57But then I can't use it.
41:58It's not against spread, Fred.
41:59It's money line.
42:00But Jerry, then I can't use the Rams again.
42:02I burned them.
42:05Yeah, but then it gets tighter.
42:07Okay.
42:08Your money don't make no money.
42:09Shh.
42:14I've been shushed a lot of times.
42:15He shushed you like he shushed his collar.
42:17Like my auntie did.
42:18Shut up, boy.
42:19Shh.
42:20You.
42:21Man, um.
42:25Think long, think wrong.
42:26I'm gonna do this, man.
42:28Rub that beard on the back of your neck and see.
42:30He just does.
42:31I'm gonna...
42:34I hate it.
42:36I'm gonna take the Pats.
42:37I hate it.
42:39I'm gonna take the Pats.
42:40I'm gonna take the Eagles.
42:41Yeah.
42:42That scares me, too.
42:43They're all gonna scare you outside of the Rams.
42:44I know.
42:45I know.
42:46I want to just...
42:47I'll tell you what.
42:48I'm not scared.
42:49My pick.
42:50Outside of the Rams.
42:51It's a fucking great pick.
42:52I'm gonna take...
42:53Well, you know, they're 31 degrees, didn't they?
42:54It's a great pick.
42:55Great pick by me.
42:56Great pick by me.
42:57I'm gonna take...
42:58I'm gonna stick with my gun.
42:59You're gonna lock it in?
43:00Yeah, it's locked in.
43:01Yeah.
43:02Okay.
43:03Great pick by me.
43:04He already feel like he...
43:05That's bullshit.
43:06I got a fucking boat race here.
43:08You're throwing parade right now.
43:09He don't even care.
43:10I mean, what kind of rule is that?
43:12You can't pick the Rams?
43:13Of course you can.
43:15All right.
43:16100% Pats.
43:17Pats, yeah.
43:18Okay, locked in.
43:19All right.
43:20We'll be back next week.
43:21Okay.
43:22Anything else, boys?
43:23No.
43:24Jay, we should've made a gentleman's bet.
43:25Yeah, go ahead.
43:26Go ahead.
43:27Which one did you guys disagree on?
43:28Yeah, which one did we disagree on, Mocha?
43:31Were you on the Chargers?
43:33Yeah.
43:34I can do Chargers, which?
43:35You guys also disagreed about the Packers and the Bears?
43:38Yeah, I don't do nothing with the Bears.
43:39Yeah.
43:40Yeah, well, let's do Chargers-Patriots.
43:41Three and a half.
43:42And when you need the two Chargers?
43:43I know I like the Patriots.
43:44He has the Patriots three and a half.
43:45You have Chargers plus three and a half?
43:46I got Chargers, dude.
43:47Okay.
43:48All right, let's do it.
43:49Let's spread, yeah.
43:50Gentlemen's bet.
43:51Gentlemen's bet.
43:52Okay.
43:53Gentlemen's bet.
43:54Okay.
43:55Don't run away, Jay.
43:56I can catch you now.
43:57You can show him some good wine.
43:58Yeah, I can show him some good wine.
43:59Yeah, I can show him we can do a bottle of wine.
44:00Bottle of wine.
44:01Nice bottle of wine.
44:02Some good Spanish red.
44:03All right.
44:04He doesn't know what the fuck you're talking about.
