The schedule is tougher than last season. How will the Pats do? Will the Vrabel/Rusinni story be a distraction?
Transcript
00:00So we were talking about the schedule and about how, according to the odds, it just
00:05came out.
00:05And once again, these are not going to be the odds when the season starts because there's
00:09different, you know, obviously there's different trades and things are going to be made.
00:12AJ Brown too.
00:13AJ Brown will be on the Patriots.
00:14So that could all change.
00:15But it is shocking when you look at it for a team that just was in the Super Bowl.
00:18They are dogs in eight of the games.
00:21And if you take a look at the games, the Seahawks, they're dogs by three and a half.
00:24Jacksonville Jaguars at Jacksonville, they're dogs by a point and a half.
00:28The Buffalo Bills at the week three, they're dogs by three.
00:33Chicago Bears at Chicago, they're dogs by one and a half.
00:36Detroit Lions, that is the Munich game.
00:38They are dogs by one and a half points.
00:40That one actually surprised me.
00:41Golf?
00:42That surprises me.
00:44Do we buy into the, if you're on the road, it's a three-point, you know, you give the home
00:48team a three-point advantage.
00:50Sure, but they're both on the road.
00:51But like Detroit's both on the road.
00:53I know the Detroit game, but, you know, I'm talking about the Chicago game.
00:56You know, you could almost say, really, that's a flip them.
00:59I mean, they're kind of, it's only be one and a half point dogs to Chicago, in Chicago.
01:04Yeah, right.
01:04Chargers, they are dogs by two and a half.
01:06That is at LA.
01:07At LA.
01:08Then you've got Buffalo Bills at home.
01:10They are dogs by one and a half.
01:12Kansas City Chiefs at Kansas City.
01:13They are dogs by two and a half.
01:15And there you go.
01:16So, taking a look at the schedule, and you said with a little bit of extra time, you were
01:19able to think about it more.
01:21How have you changed your prediction of how the season's going to go?
01:23It's just come down, I've come down one game, and I'm looking at the game that I had them
01:28winning was that Minnesota Thursday night game.
01:30That game scares me more, and just if you look at it, I think that Buffalo, I got them
01:36beating Buffalo at home the week before, and then they got a short week against Minnesota.
01:41I just, Brian, I think it's going to be an emotional game to play Buffalo at home.
01:45And then four days later, you got a team in which the Vikings blitz more than any other
01:51team, by far.
01:52Brian Flores executes his blitzes flawlessly.
01:55And I just, with that offensive line for the Patriots, I could see that.
01:58The new brick wall?
02:00Well, let's see.
02:01Let's hope.
02:01I don't know.
02:02It's projections like the Red Sox.
02:03You know, we're projecting that they're going to be better.
02:05We don't know.
02:06But based off of last year's performance, you would say that, to me, that game, that
02:10Minnesota game that I had them winning originally, I have them losing the more time I put into
02:14it, just because I just think they have an excellent head coach.
02:17And I think Brian Flores is an exceptional defensive coordinator who loves to blitz.
02:21And I just, that is a scary spot right there.
02:24Because then it's almost, then you got Kansas City right after that.
02:27So it's kind of, it's weird.
02:29What do you think they go after the bye week?
02:31There's seven games there.
02:32At Chargers, Bills, Vikings, Chiefs, Jets, Broncos, Dolphins.
02:36What's their record in those seven games?
02:38They are four and three.
02:41That's realistic.
02:41And that's because they got Miami and New York.
02:44You know, I got them, I got them beating Buffalo.
02:46I got them losing to Los Angeles.
02:48I got them losing to Minnesota.
02:49I got them losing to Kansas City.
02:50But then they beat New York, Denver, and Miami.
02:52They, so then you better be six and four by then.
02:55Yep.
02:55At the bye.
02:56I can't see them losing to Los Angeles.
02:58I just can't.
02:59You know what?
03:00Maybe it's just because I got the memory in my head.
03:01Herbert stinks.
03:02But, ah.
03:03Overrated.
03:03Do you know that one of the sneakiest, best off-season moves a team made this year was the
03:08Los Angeles Chargers?
03:09Chargers.
03:10Because they hired former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniels, to be the
03:15offensive coordinator.
03:16That is a guy that can coach offense.
03:18He can't be a head coach.
03:20Yep.
03:20He's your quintessential good offensive coordinator.
03:22The Niners, he was.
03:23The right guard is also Cole Strange.
03:24So think about that.
03:26Is he really?
03:27Yeah, it is.
03:27I didn't know.
03:28Did he really?
03:28He's, uh.
03:29Okay.
03:29All right.
03:30Does that make you rethink that?
03:31Yeah, man, man.
03:32All right.
03:33Paul, on line two.
03:34Tennessee Chattanooga.
03:35Paul, what's up, man?
03:36How you doing?
03:38Hello, Paul.
03:38Hey, guys.
03:39Thank you for taking my call.
03:41I'm so proud of what they did last year, especially the away games.
03:46But for the fans, I would love for the fans to blow the money for parking, for hot dogs
03:51and beers.
03:52You know, I'm telling you, just get us eight games at home.
03:57Just win at home.
03:59You'll go from 40,000 people to 60,000 people like you did at the end of the season.
04:04And that's all we ask.
04:05All right.
04:06All across the board, man.
04:08I mean, it's like, I'm looking at the home games.
04:10And obviously, the away games are a hell of a lot tougher.
04:12But I mean, you got Bills at home, which is going to be tough.
04:15But then.
04:16I love the Packers game.
04:17That's my.
04:17I'm looking forward to that game more than any other on the schedule.
04:19You got Raiders at home.
04:21That's awesome.
04:21You're going to kick their ass.
04:22The Packers.
04:23That's a win.
04:24And then you've got the Broncos late in the year.
04:28See, I think the Vikings are going to win that game.
04:30It's a Thursday night.
04:31Again, it's very unpredictable.
04:32It is a short week.
04:33Ted's right about that.
04:34But an off the Bills game, which is tough.
04:37All I know is this is going to be a great season.
04:38Like this is going to be a really fun.
04:40It's going to be compelling.
04:41Compelling.
04:41And you got star power every week.
04:43There aren't a lot of duds on this on this schedule.
04:45You know, when you take a look at it.
04:46Oh, it's a tremendous schedule.
04:49Lock in Rodgers week two.
04:50That's right.
04:51That's right.
04:51Rodgers is locked in.
04:52Do we know?
04:53Yeah, he's resigned.
04:53Oh, he resigned.
04:54Locked in.
04:55The Enigma.
04:56What a douche.
04:58Douche.
05:00All right.
05:01Well, there's douches and then there's Aaron Rodgers.
05:03There's Aaron Rodgers.
05:04King of the douches.
