00:15at least they won the game yeah I was gonna say how'd that cost of luck pay out all that
00:19matters
00:19they won the game I can't be saved I'm in dead last John is your leader in the clubhouse with
00:24a three-game cushion Heather in a free fall one in six last week yeah ouch you went from second
00:31place
00:31to second to last I did what's going on over there don't worry about it I'll make up for it
00:36this week
00:36huh just watch out who's who's I know I'm in first but how many have a winning record you're the
00:42only
00:42one oh I'm the only one okay just like our younger selves it's a tight middle in the standings we're
00:48gonna start with college football Ohio State six and a half point favorites as they travel to the
00:53Coliseum taking on USC Jim yeah I think it's a better team it's probably gonna be an ugly lower
00:58scoring game but I think Ohio State will take care of business Ohio State's gonna win the game there's
01:03no question I there is a chance for an upset and it's how does USC respond after their loss in
01:11Wisconsin they're at home they're playing against a team that's trying to figure out the quarterback
01:15situation so what do we think that Ohio State's gonna do they're probably gonna try and run the
01:19football they're not a physical front they got Bo Jackson in the backfield but the the rushing
01:26defense for USC is not awful they're middle of the pack of the Big Ten so I think they keep
01:31this
01:31close enough to cover so I'm gonna take USC well this week I'm making all my picks spooky oh finding
01:38some Halloween or spooky legends so I'm going with Ohio State did you know that Ohio Halloweenies
01:45they have the most haunted houses and attractions over any other state in Ohio yeah it's because
01:53they basically just drive it and it's scary all year that's why I'm choosing Ohio State Ohio State's
01:59fight song is also the Brighton high school fight song wasn't my choice John USC's fight song is the
02:06frumpiest sounding fright song ever so I'm gonna take the better fight song let's go Ohio State yeah I'm
02:12Ohio State here two weeks for repair USC has two double digit losses in the Big Ten this year
02:17the Buckeyes are gonna disco at USC that's all I'm saying I'm on Trojan Island all by yourself
02:25oh wow magnum the world's largest outdoor cocktail party goes inside in Atlanta Georgia
02:34it's a 12 and a half point favorites as they take on the Florida Gators John
02:41okay Georgia I think 12 and a half is just too much even though it's in Atlanta and it's it's
02:48funny
02:48because it's not actually the outdoor cocktail party it's gonna be indoors I think Florida what's
02:54that the largest outdoor outdoor cocktail party yes no I know um so I'm gonna take Florida
03:01all right back on the rails I'm gonna take Georgia and I'm taking them because of the legendary
03:07staircase to nowhere on campus have you heard about this you gotta google there's not enough
03:11time for me to tell you about it but legend has that if you climb the steps at night you
03:16could
03:16encounter a ghost spooky oh I told you all my pics would be spooky I'm a big John Summerall fan
03:25from
03:26his days at Tulane give me the Gators go Gators all right you know Georgia was number one they had
03:30two
03:30weeks off so did Florida here here's the difference in the game Georgia's 11th ranked defense in the
03:35country Florida 88 I'm gonna take the Bulldogs here Kirby Smart has not lost two consecutive
03:41games since 2016 oh they don't have to lose for me to still win oh I know two weeks off
03:46a loss for
03:47Georgia to sit and stew the Gators while they have a couple signature wins going to Texas and beating
03:52Ole Miss they're also giving up 35 points per game in the SEC they have some ugly losses too and
03:57I think
03:57this will be another one of them give me the dogs Michigan travels to Piscataway taking on Rutgers
04:03Wolverines are favored by 14 and a half points Heather oh okay well I'm gonna take Rutgers and
04:08I'm taking them because of the the Jersey devil the legendary creature that haunts the pine barrows of
04:14barons of South Jersey of course everybody knows about them that yeah yeah that uh New Jersey
04:21exit's pretty scary um I'm gonna take Michigan with their defense yeah I'm gonna take Michigan too
04:26here because Rutgers is 129th in total defense I think Michigan kind of will look a little right like
04:32they did against UTEP for a week doesn't mean they're a good team but I will take the Wolverines
04:36if there's a team you're gonna be able to run on east and west north and south every which way
04:40it's
04:40Rutgers just what the doctor ordered give me Michigan yeah Penn State second worst rushing defense
04:46in the in the Big Ten what did Michigan do they found a way to run for a half now
04:51they're facing the
04:52actual worst rushing defense and offensively Rutgers doesn't it doesn't look like they're gonna have
04:57wide receiver KJ Duff who I was kind of one of the only things I was excited about watching in
05:02this game was the Rutgers receiver six six 230 they the people think he's the next Megatron
05:07not gonna be playing I don't think they can score on this Michigan defense so I'll take Michigan
05:11did you say excited
05:16yes I got I got real excited now we got the Gardner White sleeper pick find your perfect sleep partner
05:21at Gardner White and I'm gonna take uh the Utes heading to Cincinnati Cincinnati with a big win over
05:26Texas Tech and they find a way to stop the run they're 31st in scoring Utah favored by seven and
05:34a
05:34half number 16 in the country big win for them last week I think maybe there's a drop-off we've
05:39seen
05:39that be characteristic of teams around college football so give me Cincinnati we flip the calendar
05:46to Sunday and to November on All Saints Day the Browns take on the Steelers in Pittsburgh Steelers
05:52are favored by three and a half points close AFC North divisional matchup I'll take the points give
05:58me the Browns you know Aaron Rodgers having a little bit of a renaissance this year he's playing some
06:03pretty good football he looks better out there than he probably since he was in Green Bay to be quite
06:07honest with you reunited with McCarthy I think Deshaun Watson's probably gonna lose some MVP votes in
06:13this game uh Brownies have lost 22 straight in Pittsburgh in regular season they did win a playoff
06:18game in Pittsburgh though with Baker Mayfield I'm gonna take the Steelers here a little more
06:22maker uh Baker Mayfield love over there Baker Baker touchdown maker he's not even playing in this game
06:28uh yeah I think Deshaun Watson's MVP candidacy ends on Sunday give me the Steelers yeah I'm taking
06:34the Steelers as well a lot of home uh favorites in the uh the picks today but I don't I
06:38think the
06:38Browns uh their run is over give me the Steelers I'm also taking the Steelers and you know why I'm
06:44taking the Steelers no why do you know how I feel about the Charlie Brown Halloween special
06:50the worst so because it's Charlie Brown you're not taking the Browns yes not Charlie Steeler
06:57oh spooky bills host the Ravens three and a half point Charlie Brown's Halloween special is the worst
07:04all righty the Ravens second half last week outscored 35 to nothing but it looks like Lamar is going to
07:09be back two full practices uh the Bills are off a bye kind of tough to see where they're coming
07:14from
07:14but this is a Jesse Minner game like he's seriously going to start facing some super big heat if he
07:20ends
07:20up losing this game I'm going to take the Ravens in the points interesting yeah that hook is killing me
07:26I want to take the Bills off the bye but the Bills defense is really bad give me the Ravens
07:31Bills defense is bad um but Lamar is not what he used to be and he just can't simply stay
07:39healthy
07:39he may be back for this game and Zay Flowers having a hell of a season we talked about that
07:45hey he signs that big contract is he a number one he's showing that he is but I'm going to
07:49take
07:49Josh Allen and the Bills well this you would think I would choose the Ravens right because Edgar Allen
07:54pull and it's all like very Halloweeny but I'm going to choose the Bills because of Buffalo Bill
07:59from Silence of the Lambs oh obviously obviously I'm going to take the Ravens Bears at the Seahawks
08:08Seahawks favored by three and a half points Jim yeah uh I'm terrible at picking games so I'm going
08:13to drag the Bears down with me bear down okay you're using the Casa Lock to your advantage
08:20all right I'm going to take the Seahawks and simply because and I don't even know if Quentin
08:24Nelson is going to play this week for them but defensively I think they find a way to slow down
08:29the Bears give me the the the home favorites in the Hawks all right I'm choosing the Bears
08:35simply because they were once called the Monsters of the Midway oh it's so scary well done
08:42it's a good poll for my pick I will quote one of the greatest football minds of our time
08:48Heather Park when she said they have claws and can go give me the Bears
08:55anybody watch that Seahawks defense last week that's why I'm taking the Seahawks yeah
09:03finally Vikings travel to Ford field taking on the Lions the Lions favored by three and a half points
09:09John I'm going with the Lions I think and I cannot wait to see this Lions offense play against this
09:16Vikings defense to me that is it's going to be so entertaining so I know I'm going against Heather's
09:22people but uh give me those very vicious Lions I'm also going against my people and choosing the
09:30Lions no really they're cats and you're the cat lady there you go I will take those very vicious
09:38Vikings getting three and a half points
09:43this is simple for me the Lions when they play against Brian Flores when they can run the football
09:49they're four and oh the last three years when they can't they're only two the Lions offensive line
09:55is one of the best in the league they will be able to run the football they will cover
10:01last year things got real squirrely golf was sacked five times in the first meeting five times in the
10:07second meeting that's 10 times in a season the offensive line is rebuilt and we will see it the
10:12bubble bursts for the Vikings give me the Lions all right no shenanigans no discos or locks
10:18Lions handle their business those are the picks 97-1
10:22you
