NFL Cover Zero: Trade Deadline and Week 10 Preview!

00:00:06
Speaker 1: NFL Cover zero with Matt Jones and Drew Franklin is a production of the NFL and iHeart podcast Allan.

00:00:20
Speaker 2: It is week ten NFL Cover zero podcast.

00:00:24
Speaker 1: I am coming to you from parts unknown in the Northeast and Drew is in Lexington, as is Billy. We are getting ready midweek on trade deadline week, where a ton of stuff happened down the stretch and now drew halfway point of the season. A lot of big names, a relatively big name, switch switch locations and ready for another big week after. You know, it feels like the two or three weeks of kind of a blase schedule. I think we get back to some big ones this weekend.

00:00:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got another international game and the trade deadline just hit. As you said, there were some big surprises there, some teams trying to win now with some big moves.

00:01:07
Speaker 2: I look forward to breaking down with you.

00:01:08
Speaker 1: It's National Game over zero, NFL International game in Berlin. Have you ever been to uh? I think the first time the NFL has ever been in Germany?

00:01:18
Speaker 2: Have you?

00:01:19
Speaker 1: Uh? I don't think you've never been to Germany? Am I correct? I've never done Germany?

00:01:24
Speaker 3: UH done Ireland and parts of uh, just Liverpool, Manchester, but never got over to Germany.

00:01:28
Speaker 2: Those were Germany.

00:01:30
Speaker 1: Uh Berlin known for its night clubs and its party scene, which I know would be of you know, huge impact to to all of us. It was the The Germans really liked the what is it the European when they did the your NFL of Europe or NFL Europe. So I think they'll actually get a big crowd over there. And they gave them I know they gave them Falcons Colts. That's not a terrible game. Probably on paper didn't look like as good a game as it'll be when.

00:01:59
Speaker 2: They actually get over there.

00:02:00
Speaker 1: They get a little Daniel Jones and what is actually kind of an important game for the Colts.

00:02:05
Speaker 2: So do you think Germany will be excited sprecking Ze Deutsch as they get ready to watch Daniel Jones versus Michael Pennix.

00:02:13
Speaker 3: I think they'll be very excited. If you were asking them about this game in June, they're probably more excited about seeing the Falcons than the Colts. But that is flipped and yeah, I'm sure tho wuld be excited to get a football game. I saw Michigan Football today canceled their Berlin game. So one game has been taken away from Germany, but the NFL is still showing up and playing one this Sunday.

00:02:34
Speaker 1: I thought that was a weird game Michigan was playing over there anyway. It was Michigan versus Western Michigan, and they were going all the way to Germany. That seemed like a little out of the way. I can't believe there are that many Western Michigan fans that would have been in Berlin, so I guess they were just assuming that all the Wolverines would go all the way to Berlin. I remember when they scheduled that. I thought that was a really bizarre game, so it makes sense that it's gone. I spent a lot of time in Germany last year during the European Soccer Championships. I'm gonna go ahead and say this may offend people as a country.

00:03:05
Speaker 2: The worst food on planet Earth is in Germany.

00:03:09
Speaker 1: In terms of like, if you're talking about a nation's cuisine, it is the it's the worst. What do you call those the Wiener stencils or whatever, the you know, I don't know.

00:03:21
Speaker 2: Everything is friid. It's all got big, big sausage and it's just it's not good.

00:03:29
Speaker 1: And if you I mean, I guess if you like beer. I'm not a big beer guy. Germany's positive for that, but in terms of food, your heart clogs the moment you get there. And I'm not really a German food guy.

00:03:41
Speaker 3: I could put away some beer krout in Franks, but I'm more interested in seeing if we can any nightclub troubles from these teams. I don't know what kind of party animals are on these rosters. I don't know them personally, but anytime you get games like this, we even't saw it happened, I guess in London earlier this year. Sometimes some guys can can find some trouble or was it Ireland.

00:04:00
Speaker 2: The most exclusive nightclubs in the world are in Berlin. Like you have to be apparently you have to be insanely attractive to even get in. People will come for like come and over and over and just try to get in and look as hot as they can. So I think it would be funny if the NFL had sent us for the three of us to just try to get into the clubs and like, see, could the three of us get into one of Berlin's hottest nightclubs? Now I would want to leave as soon as we got there because it would be too loud and it goes all night long.

00:04:32
Speaker 1: But I would just like to be able to say that I got into one of Berlin's hottest clubs.

00:04:37
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that Daniel Jones and Kirk Cousins will be skipping the line. Either let Daniel Jones or Kirk. I don't know if those are two guys that'll be checking out at Clubstek. So maybe these are the teams to send over to Berlin.

00:04:50
Speaker 1: That's like Daniel Jones would get in if Danny Dimes doesn't get in, I don't know. They the Berlin nightclub scene, you gotta read about it sometimes.

00:05:00
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's a whole it's a whole thing.

00:05:02
Speaker 1: But I hope they have success in their first NFL game and it'll give me something to wake up to on Sunday morning.

00:05:09
Speaker 2: I can guarantee you this. The scores will be going into halftime like nine to six.

00:05:16
Speaker 1: That's gonna be what the score is it'll be. It will be a depressingly low scoring game going at a half time. My prediction is whatever the first half under is, Drew take it and.

00:05:25
Speaker 3: I will be locked in. I love the early morning games. I'll probably have the same game parlay and will enjoy getting started right and when I wake up.

00:05:31
Speaker 2: That's the best part of all these Yeah, yeah, the day John Robinson.

00:05:34
Speaker 1: Though you do get you do get many of the two best running backs in the league. So I mean, if they for for for for a you know, London Ner ck, it's not London and Berlin game. To get the two best running backs in the league is good.

00:05:46
Speaker 2: Now. A lot of.

00:05:47
Speaker 1: Stuff in the news, but I think the biggest story of the week is that the Jets basically broke down their entire team. Uh three defenders let go, including Sauce, Guard Gardner, Quinn Williams. They are essentially acknowledging a massive rebuild.

00:06:03
Speaker 2: It looked to me like.

00:06:04
Speaker 1: And the Sauce, Gardener and the Williams. They got huge value. Two first round picks in one of them a first and a second round pick in the next one. They're gonna end up with this year two first rounders and two second rounders, and then the year after three first rounders. Out of this, you know, it stinks for the Jets in the sense that if you're a Jets fan, you've now lost your identity what was probably a top five defense, but it was a top five defense that had you going one in seven anyway, So it feels like to me, it's probably the right choice in there. But it's a complete and total rebuild for the Jets.

00:06:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, Quinn Williams and Sauce Gardner two elite players, a defensive tackle and cornerback. You had to go get something for them because obviously you're not gonna get wins anytime soon, and they're both in their prime, Sauce being a little bit younger. And then on the other end, this shows the Colts and Cowboys like, you got to win now because you gave up a lot. These are two very expensive players and you're kind of counting on your roster to go out and get a w So they've got a couple of years to pull this off. I think the Jets could have won this trade because the Jets are loading up on picks now. They'll probably waste them when he gets to that point, but the Cowboys and Colts need to really take advantage of this right away.

00:07:16
Speaker 2: Well.

00:07:16
Speaker 1: And you also, I mean I think you could next year maybe package those to get up to get the quarterback you want. I think one of those two years they're definitely going to take their quarterback. But if you Aaron Glenn, I think this is like a trade for job security. You go, well, you traded away all my good players. How in the world could you fire me? Just skip over the fact that you went one in seven. I was shocked, though, at some of the returns. I mean the Cowboys giving up two first round picks. I mean they're essentially trading what Michael Parsons for Quinn Williams. I mean, that's essentially what they're doing. I was just really surprised by some of the return on them. And if you're the Jets, you don't want to say, hey, the Jets made a good deal. But they made a good deal. It feels like to me they did the Cowboys. I get why they did it because they have a great offense. Dak is having maybe his best year, so you want to go ahead and get help. But their secondary still has holes. They still have linebacker problems.

00:08:17
Speaker 3: I worry they went on and got this big Shanee piece, but the secondary pieces around them still aren't good enough. So even though I'm excited for the Cowboys, I liked that it happened. I wonder how much he single handle he could change the position. He's great inside stopping the run and getting pass rush from the inside, but they have a lot more problems than just that.

00:08:34
Speaker 2: On that defense. So here's the question for you. Would you rather be one and seven but living in New York or be six and two and have to live in Indianapolis if your Sauce gardener. Which one of those is the better deal for you? Indianapolis with a winning record or New York with the losing records. You and I are both New York guys, we like it.

00:08:53
Speaker 1: Would you rather be in Indianapolis eating the pork tenderloin sandwiches if.

00:08:58
Speaker 3: It's a fresh start and I haven't already been at either one. Honestly, I'm probably picking the Jets in New York. But Sauce and quinnin Williams have both given the New York enough and they still haven't gotten much in return, So good for them on getting out. But I would choose a losing team over living Indiana. I'm that selfish.

00:09:14
Speaker 1: I mean, you and I both believe living in in Indiana would be the worst fate to put on a man, but nevertheless he's going to do it.

00:09:23
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting the Colts clearly believe they can win now.

00:09:25
Speaker 1: I mean, you make this trade only if you believe you are close to winning a championship, and I guess they do, which is not something I would have thought that they're there, But I get it. Seize the day and we'll see if it ends up working out.

00:09:40
Speaker 2: Now, Billy, they were.

00:09:41
Speaker 3: Bries Hall, Poor Breeze Hall didn't get out though he wanted traded. Brice had his bags packed and was just waiting for them to tell him he's out, and then he's stuck around even tweet them all the positions.

00:09:51
Speaker 2: Breece Hall is the one that needs it the most.

00:09:53
Speaker 1: He's the one that can do the least about all of this as a running back. I mean he he's like, everybody gets a ticket out except him.

00:10:01
Speaker 2: But I don't know what they were offered.

00:10:03
Speaker 1: But I also understand why why they wouldn't do, because he's a guy that you want to have on your offense. But that's tough for Brice Hall. Everybody else gets out and you don't. Now only there were a lot of other ones. I'm gonna let you do the headlines this week. I hope you are mentally prepared to do them. Do you have some wonderful headlines for us?

00:10:22
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, I'm ready to go. And we can start with trade deadline Day, in which there were eight trades on that Tuesday alone. It was tied for the second most on any trade deadline day.

00:10:31
Speaker 2: Eight.

00:10:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were a lot of deals. That's not something that I mean, obviously was the second most. It's not something you don't even really often hear of a fel trade deadline day because he's don't they don't do it like they do uh in other leagues. But we did have eight and some big names. So besides the Jets, what did you think, Well, no, that's your cue. That was your cue to give the next one.

00:10:54
Speaker 2: Yes, that's why you have to like when you're a news anchor, the producer will say, okay, give the next one. You have to be ready for that.

00:11:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, here we go. I'm ready. So you know, the Saints are somebody that has a five cell as well. They traded their receiver Rashid Sahed to the Seahawks for a fourth and a fifth round pick. The Bears traded for a defensive end Joe Tyron schoyanka uh for a sixth round pick in that one, and no, I'm not gonna try that one again, but Joe, Joe, what Joe's going to the Bears. And then the Cowboys weren't done. They got linebacker Logan Wilson from Cincinnati. And I also liked Jerry Jones and his secret trade this week. He didn't announce that they were going to get somebody. He just said that they had something in the works.

00:11:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it didn't if it doesn't look like it manifest. I don't understand why you would trade for anyone for the Bengals defense. It's the worst defense I've ever seen in my life, so I don't I'm not saying Logan Wilson is worth it or not. The Rashid Shaheed is the is the big one there. With the Seahawks, I think that's another team Drew that feels like they can make a move. I don't think you make that deal unless you feel like you can do something. This year with Sam Darnold, you know, they lost a couple receivers in the offseason, so I think this. I actually really liked that deal for the Seahawks and it also shows the NFC is wide open. I think we're going to talk later about the odds for the teams. It's amazing how many teams that believe they can win it, and clearly the Seahawks are one of them.

00:12:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, Seahawks are kind of like the Colts. I feel like they they probably didn't expect to be as good as they are in their quarterback to be having the season that they're having, so they have to go out and see if they can capitalize on what they struck a little gold here with what they've had so far, so I completely get why they'd go out and do it. Billy didn't add this, but my Titans tried to do a fire sale.

00:12:43
Speaker 2: We just don't have a lot of things to sail.

00:12:45
Speaker 3: But we did get rid of Roger McCreery, who was a second round pick a few years ago.

00:12:49
Speaker 1: But we tried the Jets. Man, what did you get for Roger McCreery. Did you get something great?

00:12:54
Speaker 4: No?

00:12:54
Speaker 3: Pick? I mean he was fine. He was maybe the few assets they had on the entire roster they could have. They could have dealt big Jeff Simmons if they really want to do something, He's like the only real asset. But you know, we just we're not even good enough to do what the Jets are doing. We're at that point right now.

00:13:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, you that's bad.

00:13:12
Speaker 1: You're not even good enough to suck, which is a very uh that's a difficult position to be in.

00:13:17
Speaker 2: So I all those of all those trades, I think.

00:13:19
Speaker 1: The one that ultimately makes the most difference in the end is the sauce gardener trade.

00:13:24
Speaker 2: There might be a game where the Colts.

00:13:27
Speaker 1: Have a chance in that second, you know, maybe you get a play in the secondary. I don't think any of these changed the balance of power at all, but it is worth watching on Rashihihi because I do. I think that the NFC is so open. I think the Rams are the betting favorite right now. And if the Rams are the betting favorite, then you cannot discount a Seahawks team where Sam Darnold's looking as good. So I actually think that was also an important move.

00:13:51
Speaker 4: And so we have the NFC. The Eagles were the other team that tried to get better. They acquired Jalen Phillips defensive end from the Dolphins and Jay Alexander the corner from Baltimore. So they're trying to get.

00:14:01
Speaker 1: They already had a great defense, Like they just continue to load up Phill like Jay or Alexander played for ten teams in the last three years. For a guy that was a lockdown and was part of one team for so long, I like those editions. I think I tend to trust the Eagles GM when they make a decision on a defense, especially on defense, it tends to work out.

00:14:23
Speaker 2: Drew.

00:14:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, he even flirted about going around and getting Micah Parsons. The Eagles just need to calm down. Your roster's been good enough. You've won enough drafts in a row. We all see it. I'm getting a little tired of their roster getting better. I'm glad they didn't get two carried away, even though they made a few moves.

00:14:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was speaking NC. I still like them to go back to back Super Bowls. Eye that I do think they lose this year. We'll make our picks in a little bit. What's next.

00:14:48
Speaker 4: The Arizona Cardinals have officially named Jacoby Burssett their starting quarterback. Jonathan Gannon went so far to say Brissette would be the starter even if Murray was healthy.

00:14:57
Speaker 1: Kyler, that was an amazing thing for him to do what a brutal sort of knife in the back to Kyler Murray. He's hurt, so there's nothing that he like. He can't play, So all they had to say was Jacoby Brissett is going to be the starter. But he went farther. He said, Eh, even if that dude wasn't hurt, we were bitching him. I kind of wonder if Kyler Murray's playing in Arizona again. I mean, after you say that, that is a It was totally unnecessary. I mean, if you really thought about keeping Brissette as your starter, you could have just let him play and then if he did, well say we're rolling with this guy. But to explicitly on the way out saying look, we were going to replace him anyway. For me, that's a signal that Kyler Murray era is ending or has ended in Arizona.

00:15:49
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:15:49
Speaker 3: I actually feel kind of bad for Kyler Murray. Here he's sending home nursing a foot injury, playing call of duty, not looking at his playbook. Might have the press conference on his background noise.

00:15:59
Speaker 2: He might be looking at his playbook. Give me a break. You don't know if he's looking at his playbook.

00:16:03
Speaker 3: We don't know if he was, if he wasn't, but he's got the press compet's on in the background, expecting Brisset to be the starter because he's hurt, but that the last line was unnecessary. He could just left that out, that could have stayed internal. He just like, even if he was healthy, absolutely no way are we going back to that. So yeah, I think that is the end. That seemed like he was sending a message that Kyler just can't get it done here.

00:16:25
Speaker 2: I mean, that's it is. It's a really amazing thing to do.

00:16:29
Speaker 1: It's like, honey, I'm going on vacation, but even if I was here, I wouldn't want to see you this week.

00:16:35
Speaker 2: It's it's it's a strong it's a strong statement.

00:16:40
Speaker 1: Is do you think Kyler Murray's days in Arizona after a comment like that, not just the.

00:16:45
Speaker 2: Comment but also is played, do you think they're done? Yeah? I think so.

00:16:50
Speaker 3: He said plenty of plenty of opportunities to turn them into something. What has he been there, like seven seasons? It just just feels like he's never going to take that next level as a quarter That next step is a quarterback.

00:17:02
Speaker 1: Well, my memories of Kyler Murray are always late game, fourth quarter, him running around barely holding onto the ball, trying to make a comeback that ends up falling short.

00:17:12
Speaker 2: So I can see why they would move on.

00:17:14
Speaker 1: I will say I thought he was going to ultimately be better than he ended up being.

00:17:18
Speaker 2: But I do think it's over. I don't think a coach can say that.

00:17:21
Speaker 1: And then when he gets healthy again, it's an obvious transition.

00:17:39
Speaker 2: What's next? Bit.

00:17:40
Speaker 4: The Seahawks beat the Commanders on Sunday Night Football thirty eight to fourteen. But during the game, the Seahawks debuted a new kickoff package, so they had two three hundred pound defensive linemen on the field up the middle to stop the kick return. The first time they did it, they forced a fumble, and the second time they did it seemed to work pretty well. Seems like they have a new strategy to stop kickoff returns in the NFL.

00:18:03
Speaker 1: So remind so, explain to me what this is that when you say a two defensive linemen, what do you mean?

00:18:09
Speaker 4: So, like in the new kickoff you have players that are standing until the ball is caught and then they run after the guy that has the ball. Well, now Seattle is putting three hundred pound defensive linemen in the middle of the field as two of the guys that are going to try to tackle the ball.

00:18:25
Speaker 2: Carrier, and that works.

00:18:27
Speaker 3: But the linemen when we're running full speed down the field on a kickoff, now you're only running ten or fifteen yards. But it was funny seeing two three hundred pound ers on a kickoff.

00:18:37
Speaker 1: Well, if it worked, I mean, I still think with that with the with the new kickoff there are still strategies to be found, Drew that we probably don't know what they are yet, you know. I mean think about just regular football plays, people that there are new nuances like the tush push that come and this new kickoff rule has only really existed for a short pier. So I think with the new kickoff rule, Drew, there are a lot of nuances still to be found, you know, in regular player we football's existed for so long and they're still finding things like the tush push, et cetera. The new kickoff rule, it's brand new, so there are ways to probably game it. It's just a matter of figuring out what it is. I like teams trying to see what works. I saw a stat today that eighty percent of kickoffs are now being returned.

00:19:29
Speaker 2: That to me makes it good.

00:19:30
Speaker 1: I know President Trump is always ranting about how much he hates the kickoff rule, but I'm a huge advocate. I mean, it has made a big difference in games. At the Bears Mingles game I went to, the opening kickoff was run back, a couple of kickoffs in the in the interim got to the fifty.

00:19:47
Speaker 2: It made a big difference.

00:19:48
Speaker 1: So I like it, and I think teams are going to have to continue to figure out though how they game it.

00:19:53
Speaker 2: I liked it a lot too.

00:19:54
Speaker 3: It took a while, took a while getting used to it, obviously because it was such a big change. But when you have a big change like that, you see the innovation and people trying things. And I love that Seattle tried this and actually worked, leading to a force fumble. Now I think eventually maybe teams will see this and they'll get a little more speed and you can just avoid the big guys. But what they're trying to do is now the space is so much more limited. Then put the big guys in there, and both of them just blew through a blocker and completely blew up the entire return schemes, so it at least work once. But now I think we'll see the return side react to this and it'll just be a give and take until it all settles in.

00:20:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but that's what it's supposed to be, right, it's supposed to add.

00:20:34
Speaker 1: I mean, here's what I know didn't work where you kicked it, and I think last year what six percent or were returned or something that was not interesting. So this is a lot better than that. I'll take it. And I actually think it goes really well. And I like the coats for they're doing the old hockey goalie thing. Why don't you just put a big fat guy in the hockey goal and then people won't score. They're like, let's just put big fat guys in the center of the field on the kickoff, and then.

00:21:00
Speaker 3: It won't work if you are the kick returner. Though, it's a little different looking up and there's defensive line'm been running at you with three hundred pounds on them in a cornerback coming down the field. I wonder what kind of hitdspace that puts them in, knowing that they could get broken in half if one of these guys caught them at full speed.

00:21:17
Speaker 1: It's different, but you know what, that'll make them be careful what they do. You do have to be careful. You might you might get you might get knocked to the ground.

00:21:26
Speaker 2: So I'm alright with it for everybody. What's next.

00:21:29
Speaker 4: Let's talk a little Mew Mix, the Carolina Panthers podcast that decided to step away earlier this year, and ever since then the only Carolina The only thing they've done is win. They are five and four in the air. They beat the Packers sixteen to thirteen last week, and right after the game, Meo Mix announced that they were going to be coming back, but the next day they released a statement saying, even though we planned to record last week before the results against Green Bay, we won't be recording due to the overwhelming response from former players. We were just a small, fun podcast since twenty nineteen and needed a break from all the time we spent putting the show on. One of those former players I believe was Jonathan Stewart, who said, woke up with his heavy on my heart Meow Mixed podcast. Please stay where y'all at. Be a team player, all right.

00:22:17
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Meal Mix. We've been following the Meow mixed story all year. I feel bad for him. All right, so they quit. Then the moment they quit, the Panthers get good. So then they want to come back and they get a huge round of people going yes. But then they have people saying if you come back now, you're a jinx and it would it would stink if you had players who you used to follow coming out and saying stay away. So I feel like meal Mix can't win for losing. They were not popular, which causes them to quit. Their decision to stop doing it gets a lot of attention to where they're popular, so they're like, we're popular, let's do a podcast, And now they have to not do it again because people are saying stay away. I feel like mel Biggs can't do anything right. I'm sad for mew Mix.

00:23:10
Speaker 3: I think mew Mix needs to recognize that they're responsible for the Chargers going on this wind streak. And sure, I'm sure they'd prefer to be putting out episodes and talking about it, but the sacrifice they made has worked and they just have to stick with it. Now. Could they maybe put out a T shirt or something. There's got to be ways meil Mix can benefit a little bit, but just from they quit because they weren't popular.

00:23:34
Speaker 2: But now I have said.

00:23:35
Speaker 3: Now Mix a thousand times in the last four weeks, and everyone else has and they so it's jerking.

00:23:41
Speaker 1: They can't take advantage of it. They're literally getting yelled at by the general public saying stay away.

00:23:48
Speaker 3: It is.

00:23:48
Speaker 2: It is one of the saddest things to me in the world. You do this podcast out.

00:23:53
Speaker 1: Of love, something happens where you break through, and finally a Panthers podcast. I can't even imagine the scenario where I would listen to a Panther's podcast. I now want to hear a Panther's podcast, and then Jonathan Stewart's like, stay away, meow Mix, get out of here, get your crap out, it's the word. I feel bad for him, and I'd like to have him on the show, but they're too big. They don't even answer our messages. We try to get meow Mixed on. They're not having it. So but it's a crazy situation, and you're right they they they're not going to be able to take advantage of all this attention.

00:24:29
Speaker 2: So I feel bad for Meal Mix.

00:24:31
Speaker 1: And how would you like to be a fan of a team where the former players are saying get out of here. That's got to also kind of hurt your pride, right for some reason something about it. There's former players because it's not like you think of legends. It's not like you're like cowboys. Former players speak out against cowboys.

00:24:49
Speaker 3: I have like Jake dellowhem and Carry Collins in my brain right now, Jonathan Stewart.

00:24:54
Speaker 2: Does Jonathan Stewart.

00:24:55
Speaker 1: Count as a legend, Like he's not even the most famous guy named John Stewart, Like does he get does he get to count as a legend?

00:25:03
Speaker 3: And determining this, I think Greg Olsen, Cam Newton, I think those are your legends, the other guys, I mean, great former players. But when I heard former players speaking out, I thought Panthers.

00:25:14
Speaker 1: Like Loui even yeah Louke, Greg Olsen, Cam, maybe even Jake Delone.

00:25:24
Speaker 2: I don't know if.

00:25:25
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart gets to do it. I'm not sure he gets to, but apparently he did. And now meow Mix is waiting to get on the side. But you know, for every fall there will be a return. And when meow Mix comes out, they will have one listener in me.

00:25:40
Speaker 4: Billy Carolina four and one since Meo Mix canceled the podcast, So that's unbelievable.

00:25:45
Speaker 1: Even that that even hurts me, Like they couldn't get good until they quit.

00:25:50
Speaker 2: It's just a sad story.

00:25:53
Speaker 3: But couldn't they just like imagine they just set up a tollgate and says meow Mix when I do the podcast, when I recording, but we're just tailgating. They would be the most popular people outside the stadium in the home game. They want to other avenues.

00:26:05
Speaker 1: Like I have in my right mind. I have in my mind what I think they look like. Here's what I think they look like. And because I've never seen their picture, I think they look like two accountants who put on like cat ears and sit and go and then go now and then talk about the and talk about the panthers. That's that's how I like to picture them. How do you like to picture them?

00:26:31
Speaker 3: I picture them as like actual cat ladies. They're probably wearing a very old sweater from like the eighties, and there's you know, there's like those cat play pins that people putting like you're picturing them like m PR hosts, but they're talking about the panthers. Yeah, definitely definitely seeing cat ladies or like furries.

00:26:49
Speaker 2: I don't know if furries are still.

00:26:52
Speaker 3: Don't do that. Don't do that to them. I'm just telling you what I picture when I hear meal mix. That's what That's the visual I'm getting. Don't make them a litter box in elementary schools. Come on, they're they're They're not They're not like that. I'm strange in NFL franchise. They are a big time I'm not trying to degrade them.

00:27:09
Speaker 2: They are.

00:27:10
Speaker 1: They are respectable Payanthers fans. What's next, Billy?

00:27:13
Speaker 4: After the Rams beat the Saints thirty four to ten last week in advance to six and two on the season, they are now the betting favorite to be the number one seed in the NFC. The Rams are at plus three twenty, the Eagles all right plus three fifty, the Seahawks at plus four seventy five, and the Bucks at plus five hundred.

00:27:30
Speaker 2: Would you say I can get the Eagles.

00:27:31
Speaker 4: For plus three fifty right now?

00:27:33
Speaker 1: See, I think that's a great bet. I mean, I still think the Eagles are the favorite. I'm surprised the Rams. I mean, I like the Rams. I think I picked the Rams in the preseason, so but I think I picked the Rams where it was like plus six fifty, and so I have a Rams plus six fifty ticket. But if I was going to hedge now I would go ahead and take a plus three fifty Eagles ticket. And now I've got two shots at it each for high number. So I really like that, you know, but it is this is the most open. The Lions I think still have a shot even though they did not play well. Again it's Minnesota. I still think Tampa can do it.

00:28:09
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the most open the NFC's man, and maybe the most open the whole league has been for a Super Bowl in a long time.

00:28:19
Speaker 3: Actually, maybe you said it, but did you mention the Lions because I.

00:28:22
Speaker 2: Did that to me, yeah, I did, no ability, no no ability. When when he was reading the odds.

00:28:26
Speaker 4: So after the four it's Packers at plus seven hundred, and then the Lions at plus seven fifty, and then the next.

00:28:32
Speaker 2: Week that's crazy to me. That's crazy to me, the Lions are plus seven fifty. I mean that's I think those are all like that. I think plus seven fifty t is a great bet.

00:28:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, when you read off the teams, I was kind of waiting to see where the Lions would fit in the pecking order, and we didn't say it.

00:28:48
Speaker 2: I thought, how far down are they?

00:28:50
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think they would win the conference taking that loss last weekend. But at plus seven fifty, that doesn't seem like it lines up to me.

00:28:58
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:28:58
Speaker 4: And on the flip side in the AFC, the Bills are the heavy favorite at plus one fifty, the Colts are at plus three thirty, and then two teams find themselves at plus four to fifty, the Patriots and the Broncos.

00:29:09
Speaker 2: What are the Chiefs?

00:29:10
Speaker 4: The Chiefs are plus sixteen hundred.

00:29:13
Speaker 2: No they're not. Are you talking about to be the one seed or go to the Super Bowl?

00:29:18
Speaker 4: The one seed of the AFC?

00:29:22
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, well that's a different conversation. I thought you were talking about for the Super Bowl.

00:29:27
Speaker 1: All right, Yes, they're Chiefs are not gonna be the one seed, and yeah, probably the Lions aren't either. Okay, so that's a different conversation. I still like the Eagles though, to be the one seed. I still would like that bad at plus three fifty. But yeah, all right, different conversation. Sorry I didn't For the Super Bowl.

00:29:46
Speaker 4: Kse is the favorite at plus six hundred along with Buffalo. Then you have the Rams at plus eight hundred, the Eagles at plus nine hundred, and the Colts and Lions at plus nine fifty.

00:29:56
Speaker 2: That is amazing.

00:29:57
Speaker 1: So the Chiefs are plus sixteen hundred to get the one seed, but still the favorite to win the Super Bowl, which shows you just how much people Drew believe Patrick Mahomes when it comes to the postseason.

00:30:09
Speaker 3: And that Owen or excuse me, four and O stat against the Bills the other favorite right now, and you know, we just saw it added.

00:30:16
Speaker 2: To the narrative with the Bills win in the regular season a fifth time.

00:30:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a fascinating that's got to be one of the more fascinating set of numbers back and forth that we've had in a long time.

00:30:40
Speaker 2: What's that. Yeah.

00:30:41
Speaker 4: Highlighting some of the bigger injuries from Week nine in the NFL, Tucker Kraft tore his ACL and he is now out for the year. Joe Alt, the lineman for the Chargers, had a high ankle sprain and he is now out for the season. And Jaden Daniels Scott injured at the end of that Sunday night football game. People questioning why he was still in the game at that point of the blowout.

00:31:00
Speaker 2: Shouldn't have been in. Shouldn't been in.

00:31:02
Speaker 1: I give Dame Quinn credit for coming out afterwards and say and he shouldn't have been in. I mean, it doesn't do him a lot of good because he's now out for the year most likely, and the Commanders were probably done either way. But he shouldn't have been in. But I do like Drew that he came out and took responsibility. A lot of coaches don't do that. They say, we play. Actually gave some respect for him for just acknowledging that was a mistake.

00:31:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, most coaches, they're not looking in the mirror and taking the blame for something. It doesn't something as significant like that. I think it's very rare to hear coach be like I should not have had him in the game. A lot of times you'll get an excusive while they're in or whatever. But that was big on him to fess up and take the mistake, because that's a big setback for Jaydon Daniels in a second year.

00:31:46
Speaker 2: You know, the Joe alt one.

00:31:47
Speaker 1: I mean, that's probably the one that's the least sexy name, but he's been. If you go through the last few years, when he's been healthy, the Chargers have played well, and when he's not, they haven't. I think that is a big loss for them, as is Tucker Kraft. I mean, all three of those injuries.

00:32:03
Speaker 2: When it comes to the playoffs, though, Joe Alt might be even bigger than Jadon Daniels and craft Jade Daniels because the Washington wasn't going to make it.

00:32:12
Speaker 1: So the Joe Alt injury is a big deal, especially considering how well Justin Herbs played. That one's going to be and the Chargers offensive line has let him down at the end of these seasons.

00:32:23
Speaker 2: I kind of wonder if that's about to happen again. Right, Is that your entire news?

00:32:28
Speaker 4: I have one more. It's more like a personal thing here. The Bengals a special to you.

00:32:33
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:32:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a crusade of mine. This year in the NFL. The Bengals, the Bengals, the washel teams coordinators said.

00:32:40
Speaker 2: White team, are you talking about?

00:32:41
Speaker 4: Bingals said that their their special team coordinator had a press conference and he said that Evan McPherson's fifty four yard field goal that came up short was with a quarterback ball, not a kicker ball. Because the field goal unit came on after the play clock started, the kicking team had to use the quarterback ball, confirming our theory that these balls are different the kickers are kicking.

00:33:03
Speaker 2: I was at that game when he came up short.

00:33:06
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, I had this exact thought that had to be the other ball. Had to because and I'm going to say again, the NFL has to stop letting them do this. They can't this moving from kickerball to regular ball, to me is a huge mistake because in the moment, the fans and other team may not even know right. So if you're the defense, you might choose to put on a field goal block or not based on whether or not it's the kicker ball or the quarterback ball. So I when a fifty four yard field goal in the NFL comes up short, my initial inclination is going to be And the Bears had one too. The Bears had one at the end of regulation that I think was also and it was kiro Central and he left it short. I think in both circumstances it was because it was the other ball they got to get rid of that drew you to have. There's got to be It's like one ring in Lord of the Rings. You got to have one ball for all and then let it be whatever.

00:34:03
Speaker 2: It is.

00:34:05
Speaker 3: Kind of reminds me of the college basketball debate when they get to the tournament that one's bouncing all out of control. They have different turnovers. It's like just one ball, like use the ball. Everyone used the same type of ball. I did do that.

00:34:17
Speaker 1: You don't get to on match point bringing in a special tennis serve ball, Like you got to use the same ball the entire time.

00:34:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, they used to make golf balls that were illegal. You could hit him a lot farther, you know, Tiger Woods and out there switching him out of his pocket when he's in a tournament or anything.

00:34:34
Speaker 2: Now.

00:34:34
Speaker 3: I did have one other takeaway though from Evan McPherson. I think he was just trying to defend his coach because people are a little mad that they didn't get the kicking ball out. It was the Bengals uncertainty that led to this, But Evan McPherson said, no, it was a good kick. I give it like a seven out of ten. My thought is, dude, you're an NFL kicker. Seven out of ten isn't really something I would confess that's not that good of an effort. There are probably a lot of people that can give a seven out of ten kick.

00:34:58
Speaker 2: But that was his.

00:34:59
Speaker 3: Reasoning for why I left it shore.

00:35:00
Speaker 2: I hope he was just taking one for this is me.

00:35:02
Speaker 1: I don't think kicking is out on a one to ten scale, or make it or you don't like I don't think like you know, seven out of ten, you came up short on a fifty four yarder. What's a five out of ten? You just kick it thirty yards like you gotta make it or you don't. I am this is going to be my crusade in the offseason. Get rid of the other ball. You do not you don't get in golf. Take when you're on the green. Okay, I'm going to put a tennis ball instead of a golf ball on it.

00:35:32
Speaker 2: You don't get a different thing. I'm very adamantly against this other ball. If you want to have to kick a ball, be the regular ball, then do that. But Billy, you're with me on this.

00:35:42
Speaker 4: I'm with you one thousand percent. This should be our off season cruse, no doubt.

00:35:46
Speaker 2: Yes, Well it will be expect to see me storm the office. I'm going to pick it outside of the NFL offices and I'm going to say make balls equal again. That's all my sign is going to say. And people may not know what I mean, but I'm going to do it either way. All right, let's talk about the games this week. First of all, on Thursday Night you get Raiders and Broncos. Raiders are two and six, the Broncos are seven and two. The Broncos are a nine and a half point favorite on Thursday night, two West Coast teams. As a sports bar owner, I just sit and see Raiders Broncos on Thursday night and go, well, our bar will be empty for this one. But are there reasons to what to watch it on Thursday night? Beyond beyond the fact it's just football?

00:36:34
Speaker 3: Who I'm trying to think of good reasons. You know, this traditionally has been a good rivalry, but the Raiders are not good this year. They beat the Patriots in the first game of the season and it has just been all bad ever since. I'll be tuned in because you know, we NFL cover zero. We have to cover this stuff. But it is not a marquee matchup for your prime time time slot, and that's on the Raiders end. They got to be better. Yeah, I mean they're gonna Boenick's got a chance to go eight and two. I'm still not sure.

00:37:03
Speaker 1: I think they're good, to be quite frank with you, they should have lost the game against the Giants. I mean they probably should be like five and four. Uh, and they're gonna they'll be eight and two after this game. You look at their schedule, they got a bunch of winnable games. I mean they're actually in contention for the one seed, and they are a team where home field advantage can.

00:37:22
Speaker 2: Make a big difference because of the altitude. Uh.

00:37:26
Speaker 1: And you know everyone says players get tired when they're there.

00:37:29
Speaker 2: I don't know if I don't know if I always believe that either.

00:37:32
Speaker 1: But regardless, they'll win this one Thursday night on the road for Vegas. You know, Pete carrellby asleep by halftime, So I think there's h I think there's a good chance. You know, seven o'clock, you'll already have been to show he's back. When it's when it's open and it's now time for the victory. Bud Noll presented by Liberty Mutual. We three games that are picks of the week. By the way, we won this last week, So if you're following at home, and I hope you are, you will be winning money. I'm sitting here looking at this. It's a tough schedule because, for obvious reasons, a lot of these games are, you know, close, A lot of these teams are very closely matched.

00:38:28
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go.

00:38:34
Speaker 1: With boy, this is a Looking at these, I don't love any of these, but I think I'm gonna do. I think I'm gonna do the Bucks to cover the two and a half, all right and win against the Patriots. Drake may has been great, but they've been blessed with an easy schedule. The Bucks are at home, so give me Tampa Bay as the first of our Liberty Mutual Victory Bundle.

00:39:02
Speaker 2: What about you, Drew.

00:39:04
Speaker 3: I was worried you were going to take my There's a new wide receiver in the NFL that burst onto the scene last week and his name is Caleb Williams. And I think the Bears hosting the Giants are going to show off more of that flashy offense. They're still riding high from that Loveland touchdown catch.

00:39:21
Speaker 2: That you were there for.

00:39:22
Speaker 3: Giants are going the other way, losing cam Skataboo killed any motive, momentum and swag that that team has. So I like your Bears at home against a Giants team going the wrong direction.

00:39:33
Speaker 1: I've been through this a lot over the years. You get a big win and then you come back and you lose a bad game right after it. So I'm a little concerned about that one. But I like your I like your hope, I like.

00:39:46
Speaker 2: Your desire, and I like your optimism, So I will go ahead and take it.

00:39:52
Speaker 1: I'm going to say I think for my next one, I'm actually gonna do a rare under.

00:39:56
Speaker 2: Are you ready for a rare under? We're gonna love total.

00:39:59
Speaker 1: It's going to take Bucks to cover, You're taking Bears to cover, and I'm going to do the Lions in command forty nine and a half. I'm going to go under. Marcus Mariota is going to be starting for the Commanders. I think the only chance the Commanders have to win is to keep the game slow and try to win it in kind of a ground and pound. Also, I believe the weather is supposed to be really bad there in Washington, I'm keeping track of all weather related items for the NFL this week, so I will take Lions and Commanders under So you throw those together and that will be your victory bundle, presented by Liberty Mutual.

00:40:38
Speaker 2: Start your quote at libertymutual dot com.

00:40:41
Speaker 1: Let's look at some of the other games, not worrying so much about against the spread, etc.

00:40:47
Speaker 2: Jets and Browns. Who's the worst? Who you got?

00:40:49
Speaker 1: Jets lose all their defense. Do you say Cleveland goes and gets the win?

00:40:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cleveland's getting this one. Jets, I'm glad you got a bunch of draft picks. Enjoy taking the rest of the year off until the draft next spring. You're not winning another game. So Browns take this one.

00:41:06
Speaker 1: And forty nine Ers could be for the one seed, or excuse me, could be for the NFC West and a contender for the one seed. Forty nine ers schedule if they win this one, even though they're six and three, things look really good.

00:41:20
Speaker 2: Rams are four and a half point favorite. Do you like?

00:41:22
Speaker 1: It's a late game on Fox, probably will be the centerpiece game of that slot.

00:41:27
Speaker 2: Who do you like?

00:41:31
Speaker 3: I kind of want to do the upset? They're not pretty? Is nud back right, Not that would matter that much because those two seem to be the identical quarterbacks. I'm going to say the Rams, but that plus four and a half is a little high for me on a forty nine ers team that I don't even like. I just feel like that spreads pretty big. But I'm gonna tiptoe into a Rams pick. I think the Rams. This entire season, the Rams games have seemed sort of oddly anonymous to me. I don't really remember much about.

00:41:59
Speaker 2: Any of them. I think this is a huge one for him.

00:42:03
Speaker 1: They are set up as Billy showcased with the odd to get the one seed. I think if they win this game, they got a really good chance. These teams will play again, but they'll play in La. So I like the Rams to win the game, and I think it's a good opportunity for them. You know, it's not that the Rams have a great home field, but the biggest thing is that they don't have to go to a home field. If they don't have to go to Philadelphia, they don't have to go to Detroit, they don't have to go to Green Bay.

00:42:30
Speaker 2: I think he gives them a lot better shot. Sunday Nights, the Steelers. In the Chargers Aaron Rodgers, is he bounced back here and get a win. They still are sitting five and three.

00:42:41
Speaker 1: I mean, the embarrassing loss of the Packers, notwithstanding beat the Colts.

00:42:44
Speaker 2: Can he get one in La here?

00:42:48
Speaker 3: I've been a big Chargers believer, but Justin Herbert just keeps getting absolutely pummeled in that backfield. I'm gonna trust him. Though they went and they made a last minute trade to replace Joe Alt. We'll see if that works. But I'm gonna believe in the Chargers just a little bit longer, but they're gonna get him if they don't fix that offensive one.

00:43:09
Speaker 2: This just feels like a game where Aaron Rodgers frustrates me and gets the win. It's Sunday night football. We're gonna get to hear some collins Worth moaning. I mean, these are two of his favorites, right. It's kind of his og. Aaron Rodgers and his new school Aaron Rodgers with Justin Herbert. He loves, he loves the way both those guys play. We're gonna get some Madison beer.

00:43:34
Speaker 1: We're probably gonna get whatever new Aaron Rodgers will say that with the LA media I'm sure he'll say something about redistricting or something just to get everybody angry. So this feels like one where he gets it. So I'm gonna take the Chargers. Then Monday Night Football Eagles Packers. This is maybe the best Monday Night game remaining on the schedule this year. Packers take an embarrassing loss last week at home to the Panthers. Do they bounce back? This is the kind of game where I feel like, if the Packers are going to be a team that I caret in terms of contending, I think they need to win it.

00:44:10
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Eagles.

00:44:11
Speaker 3: I know it's a tough place to play. Heck, the Packers probably want to be wearing green and yellow. They'll probably find a new alternate uniform that we won't even recognize me halftime before we realize it's the Packers that are playing.

00:44:20
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go with the Eagles.

00:44:22
Speaker 3: I know they had that two game scared a few weeks ago, but they've corrected things since the offense is more balanced. AJ Brown's not subtweeting anymore. I think the Eagles will figured it out and they'll when this one. Yeah, anytime you don't have aj Brown, subtweeting, that's good. I'm shocked. I mean, I'm shocked. The Packers are the favorite. Packers are two and a half point favorite. It's a little surprising to me, isn't it. You You lose at home to the Panthers and then you are the and I think it opened maybe at Eagles being the favor of the money has all been on the Packers. Let me go ahead and get that bet in now before the weekend crowd gets there and bets. It moves the line a little bit because I agree that's I like the Eagles here, and if you're gonna give me points, I'll jump on that.

00:45:02
Speaker 2: Two and a half. I think it opened with I think it opened with the Eagles being.

00:45:05
Speaker 1: A one and a half point favorite, and it has already flipped to Packers two and a half, so a lot of early money. It just surprises me, especially you know, I still think the Eagles have the most talent.

00:45:17
Speaker 2: They just made this trade a couple of trades.

00:45:19
Speaker 1: I like them. I'm a little bit surprised by that. Now, Billy, it is we got to do our survivor pool. I'm sitting here. The amount of attempting to try to understand my handwriting has gone away, But I'm gonna read you who I think you've picked.

00:45:35
Speaker 2: I picked. I think you've picked the Patriots, the Jaguars, the Cardinals, the Bills, the Chargers, the Colts, and the Chiefs. You get to pick first. You and I are the only two left now.

00:45:48
Speaker 1: The game that seems the most obvious is Bill's Dolphins. But you don't get to pick the Bills. So who are you going to take? In the survivor leak?

00:45:55
Speaker 4: And I'm going with the Seahawks over the Cardinals. Jacoby Bursett maybe the starter, but he's not getting it done here. Well, you're going to advance and move on with Seattle and Sam Darney.

00:46:08
Speaker 2: Boy, I think it's a nerd. That would be a nerve wracking pick for me on paper at home. But the Cardinals just they find a way sometimes in these.

00:46:15
Speaker 4: Games divisional opponent I try to stay away from.

00:46:18
Speaker 2: But I try to stay away from that too.

00:46:20
Speaker 1: Although with my pick, I mean, I feel like I don't have a choice. I think I have to pick the Bills. I have not picked them yet. They get the Dolphins. It is on the road, and if you look historically, the Bills have had some weird problems with this game in Miami, including when Miami has not been good. If you remember, Tom Brady did the same thing. He used to have problems against the Dolphins on the road even when they weren't good.

00:46:42
Speaker 2: I'm not sure why that is.

00:46:43
Speaker 1: The case, but I'm going to go with the I'm going to go with the Bills, and so we'll see if we continue to go on the Survivor League. Do we know what percentage of people are still left in their various Survivor leagues around because you and I continue to remain in this one while Drew sits anonymously and is not.

00:47:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure a number on most leagues. But you know, Drew's been out a while at this point. I mean, he could have started whole another game and gotten eliminated again.

00:47:08
Speaker 1: It's kind of embarrassing how bad Drew's done if you think about it.

00:47:12
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I just get to sit here and sit back and watch you all do this segment. I'm en joint listing. You don't have to work at all during it. You could just uh you look at the other choices.

00:47:24
Speaker 2: The thing is, all these games are even I mean, I guess you could take the Broncos against the Raiders on Thursday Night Football, or.

00:47:30
Speaker 4: Carolina you wanted to against the Saints. I mean, I'm all.

00:47:33
Speaker 1: I would never I would never take Carolina against the Saints. Yeah, I mean the Saints. The Saints are going to win one of these games against the NFC South. The Saints are going to beat either of the Panthers or the Falcons in the coming weeks.

00:47:45
Speaker 2: It just depends on which one it is. Now, we also have to do our touchdown pool. I'm leading four to three to one right now, and it looks like, Billy, you do get to pick first in this one as well. So what are you going to take?

00:48:01
Speaker 4: Okay, you know it took a lot of heat talking about JJ McCarthy last week. I am going to be a believer this week. I'm going to say Justin Jefferson scores a touchdown. He's only had two all year. I think he's going to revert back to the mean a little bit. I think he gets a touchdown and JJ McCarthy has a big.

00:48:17
Speaker 2: Day, only two all year, and you're pick him.

00:48:20
Speaker 4: Right here, let's do it.

00:48:22
Speaker 2: Wow. I do like your confidence in all these things.

00:48:26
Speaker 1: You you stick with it, and you go with even odd like players on all of them.

00:48:33
Speaker 2: So that means I got to go with a quarterback or wide receiver. You know, I've generally enjoyed picking quarterbacks. I've picked almost all of them. So let me look here and see.

00:48:44
Speaker 1: I'm going to take one where I think somebody's going to score a lot of points.

00:48:48
Speaker 2: So, hm, well, I'm going to take a running back.

00:48:56
Speaker 1: I guess if I picked Jonathan Taylor, No, I have, so I'll take B John Robinson. I think of B John Robinson scores and they're going to Berlin. Feels like he will use this as a chance to score a touchdown in Berlin and get his German flair going. So give me Bjohn Robinson, which leaves Drew. You have to pick a quarterback.

00:49:17
Speaker 2: Who do you want?

00:49:19
Speaker 3: I think I've only done a quarterback once before? Did I do Josh Allen? Have I used Hurts yet? That's why I'm asking you.

00:49:26
Speaker 2: It looks like you have picked Hurts, but you have not picked Josh Allen.

00:49:31
Speaker 3: Okay, got him backwards? Then I will do Josh Allen. I think, yeah, those are the top two options here. I'll go with Josh Allen.

00:49:38
Speaker 4: I think you guys would be surprised at who the leading rusher is at the quarterback position this year. It's Justin Herbert. He has three hundred and five rushing yards this year.

00:49:46
Speaker 2: Is that right? Because he's running for his life? Yes, that really is a surprise.

00:49:51
Speaker 1: I wonder what odds you could have gotten on Justin Herbert being the leading rusher in football at the beginning of the year for a quarterback you would not have. You could have gotten a great price on that. So you got Josh Allen. I'm taking b John Robinson and Justin Jefferson. That may not look great numbers wise, but I actually think that's a parlay that could hit.

00:50:09
Speaker 2: We haven't gotten one yet where we've all hit, have we, Billy?

00:50:12
Speaker 1: Not one?

00:50:12
Speaker 4: I mean, Drew's only picked one correct touchdown score, so it's fuy sure so that.

00:50:16
Speaker 1: That hurts us, the fact that Drew has only, uh only picked one.

00:50:20
Speaker 2: Well, guys, thank you all very much. I'm looking forward to the weekend in all the games.

00:50:26
Speaker 1: I hope everybody congrats Drew on keeping all of your Titans best players.

00:50:31
Speaker 2: Uh so that you we have them my week so we're not losing big week for the Titans. Oh, this is a winning, winning within for you.

00:50:39
Speaker 3: This is crazy.

00:50:40
