00:00Now I mentioned Philadelphia. I want to know your thoughts on if there is one particular player
00:06outside of the obvious, I guess you can't say Saquon Barkley, that can make or break this game
00:11today. Who would it be? For the record, by the way, another one of our big preseason discussions
00:16was Saquon Barkley after his 400 plus carries, not just touches, carries last year that he was
00:23not going to finish as an RB one. Guess what? He didn't RB 14. So once again, data for the
00:30win, undefeated history. When you lay it out there, nobody wanted to hear it. He was not
00:36a first round talent. He was not a first round draft pick. Unfortunately, he did not return
00:39that investment. And you can argue AJ Brown, most of the year didn't do that either. And
00:44I know it's been a weird drama here, but I think at the end of the day, AJ Brown has himself
00:49a day here. I think there's a complete mismatch here with you have the secondary of the San
00:53Francisco 49ers. They've had a lot of injuries there. I think the way you beat the 49ers is
00:57throwing the football. And I think they're going to have to do that today. And I think AJ Brown's
01:01going to be a big part of that. So give me AJ Brown for the W here. I like the Eagles in this
01:05one. I liked it was a three and a half and moved to four and a half. I still like it there.
01:09I just think whenever you have those teams in the West Coast, you have to travel and play early
01:12games. The body clock is off. There's a lot there where you're just not in sync. And I think that
01:18the 49ers got exposed against the Seahawks. Exactly what I thought the 49ers were.
01:22I saw against Seattle at the end of the year. And I thought, yep, that's exactly right. You throw a
01:27great defense at this team. It's going to be a very different story. And I don't want to take
01:31too much out of like, oh, well, they did beat the Rams this year. Well, the Panthers almost beat
01:34the Rams and the Panthers beat the Rams in the regular season. So maybe the Rams need to get checked
01:39a little bit too. So I think the Eagles will find a way to win this game. And I think AJ Brown has at
01:43least a touchdown in this one as well. So give me AJ Brown to find the end zone and make an impact today.
01:47Where are you at here with Eagles 49ers? You know, this is the one game from which I've stayed
01:54away from a wagering standpoint. But if I had to lean and after hearing you, I'm leaning Philadelphia
01:59just because of where they're playing and just what Philadelphia can do in the second season in
02:06the playoffs. All right, let's give more of that game script. I love what you're doing here. Give me
02:10a couple of more. Talk to me about the New England Charger game and then talk to me about the Monday
02:13night game. Give me a couple of players that you think are going to stand out and why.
02:17Well, the Chargers defense is pretty good. I want to give them some credit there. They play hard.
02:20But going back to Travion Henderson being that explosive guy, I look for that big Travion play
02:25in the playoffs that really sparks this team. I think he's got touchdown equity in this game.
02:29So give me Travion Henderson. Again, another team that's traveling 3,000 miles from the West Coast
02:34to chillier temperatures where you're going to have to play in New England, right? Is it sub-zero? No.
02:40If it was, maybe it would be a different story. But still, I just think the interest of the
02:44offensive line for the Chargers are going to be too much for them to overcome. Herbert's doing a
02:48great job. He's had a great season. He really has been a warrior, and that term gets overused.
02:53Herbert's been a warrior, but I believe that Travion Henderson is going to be the difference
02:57maker in that game. And last but not least here, I'm going to give you that Houston Texans team,
03:02and I'm going to give you Nico Collins. I think Nico has himself a big day.
03:05Unfortunately, the Pittsburgh Steeler defense is mediocre, okay? They just are. If you go and look
03:11at all the metrics and everything that's going on there, yeah, they've got T.J. Watt. He's a great
03:14player. Yes, of course, they're at home. But the Texans defense is ferocious. They're going to get
03:19after Aaron Rodgers, who's not nearly as mobile as it used to be. An offensive line is also mediocre
03:23as well. So I think the Texans will give them fits. I think the Pittsburgh Steelers are in a tough
03:29spot here. And I think Nico Collins is going to feast against that secondary that I also think isn't
03:34great for Pittsburgh.
