00:00but let's assume they do win it here i'm guessing uh jacksonville not only division winner
00:07what is the ceiling for this team for you because i'm still on the fence about them one way or
00:14the
00:14other are they a legit super bowl contender like uh like buffalo is are they what i what are they
00:22to you in this what is the ceiling for this jacksonville team so i i picked them to go to
00:27the super bowl last year that was with jacksonville was yeah i remember yes yeah they were my afc pick
00:32uh buffalo was my pick this year but um i i think the reason why i didn't pick jacksonville to
00:38go to
00:38the super bowl is because of what you just said is that while i think lawrence has now entered
00:43the category of okay this is exactly who we thought he was going to be i think he's there i
00:49think he's
00:49in that category but he does what what he's missing joe from drew breeze tom brady manning
00:58all those guys what he's missing is exactly what you just said is that once every three or four games
01:05it's three picks it's three picks and a fumble why why is that i don't know the answer to that
01:10that's
01:11the only thing holding him back from starting to talk about that about is trevor lawrence gonna
01:18be a hall of famer because you may laugh but if the guy plays another 10 years wins a lot
01:23of games
01:24throws for a lot of yards throws for a lot of touchdowns he's philip rivers and philip rivers
01:29is a borderline hall of famer and matt ryan on atlanta was a borderline hall of famer who never
01:33won a super bowl but got to so i think lawrence is trending in that direction but why is it
01:40that
01:41when they play in tampa or they play some weird game against a team that they're supposed to beat by
01:46three touchdowns lawrence throws for 180 and three picks and fumbles twice i i don't know the answer
01:51to that so i don't think that tonight determines that by any means him them winning this game 41
01:57nothing because that's what they're supposed to do but until i see that um the problem is joe is i
02:02treat this all i always treat this like who am i going to pick for the super bowl i treat
02:05it like
02:06march madness do i think jacksonville is one of those teams where favored favored favored favored
02:12possibly but i think like they could lay a debt they could lay an egg and that's why uh i
02:18can't
02:19pick them like i did last year but i will say this as far as my belief in coaches in
02:24the nfl and coaches
02:25in sports i don't think coaches mean as much in sports as we make them out to be i know
02:30in the nfl
02:30they probably mean more than anything else this guy in particular is at near the top for me liam cohen
02:36i do think that this guy's got it together offensively defensively he puts the guys in
02:41the best position to win they're playing so just think about doug peterson was there two years ago
02:46look how much better they look now clearly this guy has a clue so uh show me that graphic again
02:52i i
02:52do think that the odds are right i think buffalo should be at the top i think not uh the
02:57odds buffalo
02:58should be at the top i think jacksonville probably is fair right there but you know joe if kansas if
03:04jacksonville is i got news for you jacksonville hosting kansas city in the divisional round and
03:10jacksonville is minus two and kansas city wins 31 nothing we're like ah we got fooled again you know
03:15like that's that that's my worry there with jacksonville well and it's a legit worry uh because we've seen
03:22it time in and time again so that's why i think tonight is going to be a very important game
03:29here not
03:30just that they win but that they win convincingly enough where we can look at this team and say
03:37this is a legit contender because anything outside of an easy win tonight great you know what's going
03:43to happen it's just it's going to be up same old same old jacksonville can't trust them not going to
03:49work it's not going to happen so i'm i want to see how they perform here tonight i'm going to
03:55be very
03:55interested uh to see this i will say this they do lead the nfl in point differential right plus 85
04:02that's that's this is through eight weeks right well last week so last week was a crushing though
04:09that's that's that was a big part of it too though to be fair yes absolutely but yeah it's still
04:15a
04:15divisional game they still had to win it so it wasn't uh you know it's been a tough place to
04:19play i think
04:20they win by 30 or 40 last week that was that was that was it was yeah that the was
04:24that the biggest
04:25blowout of the year in the nfl it may have been i don't know if it was the biggest blowout
04:30but it was
04:31certainly never in doubt there but i will say this they have also outscored their opponents in the
04:38first half this year 110 to 40 it is the largest margin by far in the league so to your
04:45point about
04:46liam cohen that's all scripted that to me is the scripted portion of the game that's what tells me
04:52that you have a coaching staff there that does the work understands what the weaknesses are of teams and
04:58goes out and exploits them uh and that's what they've done and they have the offense to do that so
05:02i'm
05:03wondering is he the best coach on the sidelines tonight because if he is then maybe the simple play is
05:12just expect jacksonville to do what they do and that's it's five and a half six in the first half
05:19are they up a touchdown by the time we get the break they have been all year uh probably right
05:25i mean they
05:25have been all year so why even bother with the back door maybe opening at some particular point
05:31the second half because the game's already out of hand that's how jacksonville uh has played all year
05:38long now i did uh i did see and i did hear of course that his passing prop over 235
05:44and a half yards
05:44was the single most public bet prop tonight
05:49you
