02:29the well like who um like who specifically have you been listening to uh like dj quick mc8 early 90s
02:34hip-hop yeah i think that's uh you know i don't know i got nothing for you
02:40uh all right let's get to this patriots game i thought he was gonna say like game i would be
02:44like oh hell yeah let's talk about game yeah let's get to this patriots game this weekend yeah um
02:53aj brown gonna play again this year oh that was curtis's lead this morning i have to tell you i
02:58saw
02:58i saw that video yeah curtis it's a was a great take it's really good it's really good like an
03:05a
03:05like an a plus sports radio take okay i mean that is a huge compliment it was really good i
03:09i take it
03:10as one thank you nick you know good takes thank you i was i it's one of those takes where
03:14i'm like i
03:14wish i had come up with that it's really good it was very good um yeah so he's not gonna
03:19play on sunday
03:20i i think the patriots are going to win but i am worried about them over the balance of the
03:25season
03:26now like drake's obviously awesome and the defense is really good they're gonna have to get
03:30aj brown back if they want to like get through the afc and get back to the super bowl so
03:34that can be a
03:34conversation for you know december and into january but as for this game you know the problem with the
03:39packers the way i've described them is like a guy who goes to the gym and skips leg day like
03:44they've
03:44got big arms and a big chest and great triceps but they can't run the ball that's their chicken legs
03:48right they can't run it they cannot run the ball and unless they make some type of trade before
03:53tuesday at the deadline like they're going to be running josh jacobs into a brick wall in this game
03:57and it's a shame because jordan love is awesome and the defense is playing above expectation right now
04:02micah parsons is going to be back in the next couple weeks but it feels like that's going to
04:06be their fatal flaw and what holds them back in a really top heavy nfc so like if you made
04:11me bet
04:11three and a half i'd maybe consider green bay i think the game will be close but i do think
04:15the
04:15patriots will win on sunday you are not one of those who lately have popped up and said they would
04:21prefer jordan love to drake may are you um well i think it's close i think they're both awesome
04:27like they're both really really good i don't know if you could go wrong with either one
04:32huh okay nick i mean i i disagree i think drake may is done more with less i feel like
04:40jordan
04:40loves roster i think lafleur is a better offensive coach than josh mcdaniels i think he's been in a
04:45system where he's had a lot of time to learn from a great whereas drake may basically the last
04:50couple weeks has been doing this entirely on his own see the thing with drake may may i amend my
04:54answer quickly go ahead yes i i will i'll take drake may but so i won't waffle i'll take drake
05:01may
05:01but i do want to it's close you think see i think that jordan love he's been in the league
05:08longer and
05:08he has he's kind of shown like he's good but i think drake may has shown like i can carry
05:16a team
05:17in a shorter period of time yes like jordan love's been what six six years yeah yeah and he's like
05:22good and he's kind of like similar to we have this discussion all the time with justin herbert like
05:27he's a good franchise quarterback you've got to build a good team around them but i don't know if
05:32jordan love is ever going to be like oh this guy can carry the team and he's going to be
05:37year in and
05:38year out one of the top three to five quarterbacks in the nfl i think drake may is headed on
05:43that
05:44direction i will agree with you that i think however you want to define it drake may has more
05:49of it than jordan love does so i'll i'll agree with you guys but like i don't want to make
05:53it like
05:54you guys aren't saying jordan love sucks like i think i think it's closer than you guys think but
05:59i i would take drake may okay nick when it comes to the cardinals at seahawks game did your mind
06:05change at all about picking the seahawks once sam darnold was ruled out so courtney it's it's even
06:10more than just sam darnold being ruled out and i'm just gonna see what the point spread is here
06:13quickly so it's eight and a half right now um i don't think we're 100 sure drew lock's gonna play
06:19in the game either so the seahawks backup quarterback has an elbow injury um it's possible
06:24that we'll see jalen milrow at quarterback for the seahawks we remember he was the quarterback in
06:29nick saban's final college football game in the rose bowl against michigan when he fumbled the snap
06:33on the two-point conversion alabama could have beaten michigan in that game so it could be milrow on
06:38sunday in which case my sense is we would see this point spread it's eight and a half right now
06:42maybe seattle minus six minus five and a half somewhere in that range and i think we could
06:47probably go back to the game that these two teams played in week two which is also coincidentally
06:51started by a backup drew lock started that game the seahawks won that game 31-7 jsn had three
06:56touchdowns my sense is almost no matter who plays quarterback for seattle i think the seahawks
07:01should win this game and kind of win it going away so if it's milrow and we get to like
07:05five and a
07:06half i'll consider a bet on seattle but courtney i i can't tell you i don't know who the quarterback's
07:11going to be on sunday yet for seattle a guy that we're familiar with here joe milton will be the
07:16quarterback of the philadelphia eagles what what are your thoughts on that so he is like the the real
07:21life equivalence and like this is where like i date i think like i'm getting old right where
07:25the the movie reference i'll give here he's charlie sheen's character in major league like he's
07:30ricky vaughn he's wild i'm old right i love that movie no that's a great movie so he's like if
07:38if
07:38jacob miserowski had no control of the strike zone and like couldn't get through the first inning for
07:42the brewers he has probably the strongest arm in the league he has an absolute rocket like a howitzer
07:49arm and i think you're you guys know that your audience knows that from his time in new england
07:52right but it's like choose your own adventure whenever he throws the ball like like page 420
07:5780 yard touchdown to hollywood brown page 69 interception right in the arms of arvel reese like
08:03how's this going to go so my giants are about three and a half point favorites against the eagles
08:07i think it's a more stable betting market if tanner mckee had started for philly because we
08:12know who tanner mckee is like he's not going to throw five picks in a game in all likelihood he's
08:17gonna he's gonna stink but like he's not gonna stink to that unbelievable degree milton could throw for
08:22300 yards and three touchdowns or he could get picked off five times in the game so i think this
08:27is like an alts betting game where if you like the giants i would bet the giants to win by
08:3210
08:32giants minus nine and a half giants minus 16 and a half i i think those outcomes are in play
08:38and if
08:38you think that or if i think that then like why can't the eagles win this game by 10 also
08:42at home
08:43if milton has a good game so my suggestion would be forget about the point spread of the game pick
08:49your side and play alts obviously i'll be rooting for the giants to win in a laugher costos sunday night
08:54football is a bit of a stumper for me because you have the bears coming off a ridiculously awesome win
09:00against the seahawks on monday night football so maybe there's a possibility for a letdown spot
09:05especially against a really good tampa bay defense but the tampa bay offense has thrown the ball seven
09:09times in two weeks and won both their games and run the ball a crap ton like is this is
09:15what's tampa
09:16bay has done sustainable or should i just be like yeah we're betting the bears and we're riding with
09:20caleb well i think you could certainly make that case like i i would bet tampa i don't love the
09:24game
09:25i i don't kind of look at it as a negative that they had zero passing yards last week they
09:29ran for
09:30300 yards they didn't have to throw the ball it was also a driving monsoon michael pennix had
09:34literally one of the worst quarterback games of this century now it's not that he's as bad as some
09:39of the guys who have had those games previously it was in a monsoon like you couldn't do anything in
09:42the game so we were now two straight weeks of tampa's offensive line being absolutely dominant
09:47now it's going to be a different test going up against jeffrey simmons and the bears defense
09:50on sunday night but you would imagine they would have success and look like we've seen baker
09:54mayfield be awesome in the past so it's not like this is you know joe finiano starting last night
09:59like my next door neighbor in staten island starting for the baltimore ravens like he can
10:02throw the ball if he has to so look the bears are a freight train i'm not sure i want
10:06to step in front
10:07of the freight train but if i had to bet the game fire the cannons baby i would take the
10:10points with the
10:11bucks you are my uh number one mahomes expert you've been on him i was done with him and he
10:17showed
10:17proved me wrong early this year the big conversation following the broncos uh stunning uh goal line
10:23stand was mahomes's inability or andy reed's inability to call another qb sneak following
10:29the play he got injured on last year how much is that a conversation point do you think that
10:34the chiefs just rolled 10 points over the uh the jets this weekend so i if i i do like
10:39the jets to
10:39cover this is just like a classic this is like like i take my mahomes expert hat off and take
10:45my put
10:45on my new york masochism hat and as to how this will go for a new york sports team uh
10:51the jets will lose
10:52a close game that's i i'm pretty caught even without garrett wilson i think this is are the
10:56chiefs currently constituted like as constituted can they blow anybody out right now like they have
11:01no vertical passing game now like the chargers yeah but did they blow out the chargers they won
11:08what like 22 to 3 well like 22 9 something like that 22 6 but this was not it was
11:12not like 35 10
11:13sure the chargers offense is just absolutely terrible now kenneth walker's gonna have a big game
11:17for sure but i think the jets can score a little bit so i do like the jets to cover
11:20the spread
11:21and look like curtis you're right like it's ridiculous that they don't run the sneak with
11:24mahomes and i think it really goes back to 2019 when they won their first super bowl he missed two
11:29weeks with a patellar injury quarterback sneaking and they really haven't done it since then he
11:34would just be my thing like justin fields is on the sideline there like put justin fields in the
11:39game and have him sneak it right let let noah gray who's noah khan's brother let noah gray sneak
11:44it let travis kelsey sneak it right put some let kairi's tonga sneak it like they played the colts in
11:50week two i think it was the colts in week two on sunday night kairi's tonga the former patriot right
11:55they they he had a rushing touchdown in the game like they ran the ball with kairi's tonga like why
11:59not do that i i just i i kind of don't understand what they're doing it really bothers me when
12:05you
12:05have a great offensive coach like andy reed who is so conservative that he should be headlining the
12:09primetime block on newsmax all right nick uh curtis noah gray lemonsters noah gray i know breeze hill
12:16outplayed him that's correct nick make me feel good here so that's a loaded sentence well i'm i'm saying
12:24in a as a pats fan that the vikings will beat the bills which will then after we beat green
12:31bay put us
12:31one game closer to the bills in the afc's make me feel good tell me you like the vikings on
12:38monday
12:38night well like uh like hall of fame linebacker and former nfl head coach mike singletary famously
12:43said can't do it won't do it uh the bills will beat the vikings on monday night um now i
12:49you guys
12:49know i love brian flores the defense is great uh carson wentz is starting obviously and this is but
12:55just to get this on record this is now the second time i don't care what anybody says last year
13:00they
13:00kind of like embellished and made up an injury for jj mccarthy we've never seen a quarterback in the
13:05history of the league missed two months with a regular ankle sprain and now like wow what a
13:09coinkydink kyler stinks and everyone says they should bench him and now his hamstrings hurt wow
13:13wow what what i can't believe it what a shock so i i'm not saying kyler isn't actually hurt just
13:19that
13:19you know it's a little questionable here look i think the lions kind of laid out the game plan of
13:24how to really get at this what had been an impenetrable brian flores defense you run right at
13:29them now not every team can do that right the lions can which amir gives in their offensive line they
13:33did
13:33it's a great now they only scored 19 points they ran for 250 yards in the game so like what
13:38do we
13:39think buffalo is going to do on monday night with that offensive line josh allen and james cook
13:43the way that which you guys should be rooting for a patriots fan should be rooting for is for joe
13:48brady to get pass happy in this game like that's how it goes awry because josh allen will throw the
13:53ball a couple times to the other team if that's what happens if i'm buffalo i'm throwing the ball like
13:5722 times in this game and keeping it on the ground with james cook ty johnson ray davis and josh
14:02allen
14:02i like the bills to win vikings just holding on until tom brady joins week 11 so you better join
14:08quick because the vikings have a good good football team they have justin jefferson on offense they you
14:15know uh addison the other wide receiver hawkinson like they have a good football team their defense
14:21i just it's their quarterback i that's the biggest thing and brady blame the coach too right like i i
14:28i
14:28know i would blame the coach but i think it's their quarterback situation like well can i ask you
14:33this this is someone who played right so you can speak to this better than anyone we watch the
14:37seahawks every game right yeah and they have one legitimate pass catcher jsn everyone knows he's
14:42going to get the ball and no one can stop it and they find ways to get him the ball
14:46what the vikings
14:48actually like they can't get justin jefferson the ball and like we can say kyler murray's not good fine we
14:54could say carson wentz isn't good fine like you can't scheme up ways to get this guy the ball at
14:58all yeah but they schemed up ways to get him the ball with sam donald's now in seattle right no
15:03i i
15:04i understand i understand so like that's not a scheme up ways it just for me the quarterbacks are
15:09not good enough to get really i mean i'm not saying you're wrong like that's crazy so then answer me
15:15this nick how were they able to do it with the you know when they brought him back to life
15:20in the
15:20the the corpse of sam donald they were able to do it with him but they haven't and it's the
15:26same
15:26coach and kevin o'connell and he cannot do it with the kid that they drafted in the first round
15:31who
15:31they ended up traded in uh mccarthy and now kyler murray it's a it's a good point i really have
15:38no
15:38retort all right all right appreciate it brother nick thank you you're welcome as always we appreciate
15:44it all right great wishing every i guess that that's mike you to go wishing everyone minimal sweats
15:47winning bets the absolute very best of luck peace okay
