Roki Sasaki's MLB Prospects
00:05:05
Speaker
Yours truly the sports professor. Thank you for that intro.
00:05:08
Speaker
Professor Mitch Baggett started. First of all, next week will be baseball ball of fame voting. Each eu row is in second only, unanimous player of all time. And we will make sure to update you with that next week. But that was just a little lead into the hottest free agent in baseball right now, Roki Sasaki from Japan, the flame-growing 23-year-old youngster who has won their equivalent of the Cy Young. uh the past three years in a row so he and he was protected
00:05:46
Speaker
seven different teams, including my Mets, my Hot Tech Jigs, Yankees, and others. And he has now narrowed it down to three teams, the Padres, the Dodgers, and the Blue Jays. So let me just break something out for y'all non-baseball fans. First things first, the Blue Jays stay in no chance whatsoever.
00:06:08
Speaker
They didn't stand a chance when they had to shoot Joe Hay last year, and they had to shoot a play watch on, and they thought he threw out there to go, sorry, I'll be home. The Blue Jays forget it. We don't even know how Joe Hay got free over the next year. But the Dodgers and the Padres, in the end, they didn't even know. The Dodgers and the Padres just got out of here, and you can pretty much assume that he's going to go to the Dodgers.
00:06:36
Speaker
him out of the Japanese people and doctors that we already have. But you cannot count out the Padres because they do have a really good doctor that is in competition with the doctors. So if you wanted to go again, go back to my food time. there's not a good choice. We'll keep updated on
NIL Collectives and College Sports
00:06:56
Speaker
that. Probably after the the the Ubo TV, which is a sports streaming, We were trying to put together clean a special venue which would allow them to stream all of their networks from all the ESPN, all the Fox, pretty much everything, into one package.
00:07:22
Speaker
Uber has sued, and they actually succeeded in a venue that's now broken up. So there is no more venue. Instead, ESPN is offering their own package coming up, which is going to be streaming of every single channel they have, including all the network ones. And plus, DirectTV is going to offer a smaller, high-sports package that will include a bunch of new sports channels as well. Uber will still be able to go on and start and so forth and emerge.
00:07:52
Speaker
in this dreaming in of and of television um it seemed just you know on the fourth when come along couple more notes here um really quick So, I know we're gonna talk about de beyond standards today everybody is Colorado, the latest power for university has ties. is' quick the best official So why are athletic departments going in? First of all, we're going to be schooled by mixed bag about GMs coming into college for Friday morning, right? We also talked about the fact that once this out for a 10-year-old and settlement case coach is finalized, they're expecting $25 million to be allocated to each school to give out to their players as free agency money, as NIL money, as payment, right?
00:08:45
Speaker
So what's happening is a lot of schools are cutting the NIL collectives because the schools are going to end up being the one paying the players in the end. So a lot of these collectives, maybe not the really powerful ones like Miami, they have one of the most powerful electives, SMU, they have one of the most, maybe those won't go away because those donors will always want to be there anyways and have their hands on things. But a lot of these other folks never really relied on donors or didn't have a big NIO collective, they're going to be done. So look to that in
AJ Brown's Reading Controversy
00:09:20
Speaker
the future. And finally, one last note, if you watched the Eagles Factor game, you saw AJ Brown
00:09:28
Speaker
being a reader. hey Look, I'm a reader. I like reading books. I like reading the articles online. And he was reading a book about inner excellence and how to best improve your life. A lot of people made fun of him for this. But honestly, as opposed to love.
00:09:44
Speaker
As a person who loves self-improvement, as a person who loves education, and all of these things help the mind grow, this is a book I would read. Hey, it's shot up to the number one on the Amazon list overnight. Thanks to AJ Brown and the author now. And I actually love the book. I show that I will give you an update on that. Hey, Omar, let me ask you a question, man. I don't want to jump in front of you, man.
00:10:11
Speaker
So so so here here's my whole take on that man. do Do you think he was wrong for reading a book during the middle of the game? um I think he's a proficient receiver. I think he's graded his craft. I think he's done well. I think he succeeded through to the race of the season. But I think a lot of people was frowned upon him reading a book. But I think he had a great game. I mean, what's your take on that? He didn't have wet have much of a game at all. Well, let me you know. OK, so okay so flow you think his numbers were bad?
00:10:41
Speaker
and they they were eight numbers wasn't necessarily his fault either no let let me pick my glasses off and let me speak to all of the I'm not call you any name. I'm not going to lower myself down to your level. I'm talking about another man who's just trying to improve himself. it sell fruit find to selfim improveved Thank you. There's quarterbacks and hot dogs on the sideline. There's people that go take a model side line There's people that go run to the bathroom to take the number of deuce in the bathroom, in the back. There's people that go disgust into the tent for fake injuries. I don't want to hear anything. If my man wants to make himself a better person and get his mind back into a game where his quarterback is not getting him the ball, well, sorry. I'm just trying to help my team out by making myself better. If you hate on that life flow, well, you're just a hater. And we already know Flo's a hater. in europe Now, Flo, let me ask you a question. Now, Flo, out I know you're buried about Christian. Now, Flo, you poured your Bible out. Flo, to right ya flow you wanna pray. You want to have a moment with Christ on the sideline. Let's talk about it, Flo. Let's talk about it, Flo. What? If I'm going to pray, you want to read the Bible. Is that a problem?
00:12:07
Speaker
Yeah, it's a problem. When you get ready for a game, come on you're doing that in the locker room. come on flo yeah Here's the problem. Read a book. Okay. Whatever you want to read a book. You want to read the Bible. Here's the problem. do you have a moment You have a moment with God. You just say, I want to pray. I want to. meditat You can pray without just bringing attention to that. That's what I think this is all about. He was trying to bring attention to himself. That's all it was about.
00:12:31
Speaker
never was on him oh that he was reading it he who When have you ever and how many years the NFL been around? Have you seen anybody pull out a book? I mean, I wasn't paying much attention, but I'm sure it's happened more than we know.
00:12:47
Speaker
I don't think it's happened ever at all. It's never been caught on camera. I've never seen it on camera. You think they're not experts? Some of them aren't actually reading Kindle in the meantime, in between them and the plays. march and everybody Everybody has the tablet. So if you want to put it on your tablet, he intentionally brought a physical book out there hey because he wanted to bring attention to himself.
00:13:10
Speaker
You wanted everybody know that he wasn't happy the way things were going. That's what he did and wait a second now wait a second now now you're contradicting yourself you stick out If he was to bring this book out there would be no way that he knew he was gonna have a bad game in order to bring that book out to read it he brought the book out because he wanted to read it have some reading material there was my hair looked and his things went wrong because the last time he said oh they asked him about ah You know, what was the problem passing? What's wrong? What's what's the problem with the Eagles right now? He's at passing and he knows he was talking about Jalen He just said passing and then they asked him about it He said y'all just make a big deal out of nothing And then he pulls out a book that no one's ever really pulled out a book on the skyline like we know of And and he said why I'm trying to make a big deal out of it He was trying to make sure everybody knew he wasn't happy with what's going on. Are you you're not married? Are you are you a more?
00:14:04
Speaker
I'm not married, but I've had girlfriends. I know how it works. okay okay oh So when you go when you go around and you and your significant other is ignoring you, you know when they're upset. You don't have to ask them. They do certain things to let you know they're upset and they're trying to get your attention and you ask them, hey, what's wrong and what they're going to say? Nothing.
00:14:26
Speaker
right but you know they're trying to get your attention and so they know that you're upset and this was his way of telling everybody out there i'm not happy instead of going ranting and raving he's going to pull out his book and show everybody i'm not happy about what's going on right now i want people to look at me and know that i'm not happy and then when they ask me about them i say why are you all trying to make a big deal about it that's what's going on here that's my opinion you can believe he's trying to better himself on the sideline you if you want first of all it it seems like the past few weeks you've brought up some different issues in relationships and i'm wondering if patty is starting to lay the smack down on you and making you sleep on the couch
00:15:11
Speaker
eight i believe just not getting personal anymore Hey, Omar. Hey, at least I've got the charisma to have a spouse. Somebody can't even get a serious relationship. So, you I don't know if you're talking about relationships right now, Omar. um um but remember All right. you Are you guys, you got something else? I'm just saying, bro, though. I mean, if you, I get what you're saying, it obviously looked like there was There could have been a double meaning to this. There could have been some alternative sort of a statement he was trying to make. But my point is that he brought the book out at the beginning of the game. Whether that was going to be kahe
00:15:53
Speaker
brought it as an edge in case something bad was going on or if it brought it for a downtime, maybe injury, something like that. Either way,
Debate on NFL Players Reading
00:16:02
Speaker
it's not like you brought a stupid book. At least you brought a self-improvement book. At least you brought something to better himself. You could have brought Old Yeller or Huckleberry Finn and how would that help anybody? Right, right. and I think the title has a lot to do with it.
00:16:18
Speaker
knowing that he needed to get better in the game and be better in this game and help us to come out more. Let me read a little passage about how I may help my team. Okay. All right. I agree to disagree. What do you think, Antin? You didn't say what you thought. Hey, man, in it end a at the end of the day, man, I think, you know, I'm not going to knock anybody but trying to, you know, self-improve, man. You're in the game?
00:16:48
Speaker
a flow as I said, man, I look at the relationship that me and you have, man. And I know that I've known you for 12, 13 years, man. And I know you use the back. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I got you. But what if I pulled out some scripture right here in middle of this show and say, Hey, let me show you the scripture because right now you right now you're not doing what this says right here. I'm going to show you right now. that'd be calling you I mean that would be just bringing attention to myself just so I can and now we if we were on some show that was talking about the Bible would be different or doing something like that or if you're just commenting on some random show and I try to say something to you that's different but we're on this show this is our show and I just come out and I start reading the book
00:17:34
Speaker
And you guys are talking about whatever's going on in the show. And I'm just reading the book over here. My stuff improvement in the middle of the show. What does that look like? So I think you will be trying to draw attention attention to yourself.
00:17:47
Speaker
type the bible but You will be drawing attention yourself. Trying to try to point out my my issues. trying Trying to talk about me. Hmm.
00:18:01
Speaker
You'd be trying to dog me out about the Bible, trying to call me out. Okay, that's fair. But what if I just, you guys were were talking and we were going on and on.
00:18:15
Speaker
ah Got a little lag in the flow, got his freeze on, acting like me. I get to laugh at you, sucker. Mr. Freeze. No, no. what what so so so what i'm So what I'm saying, Omar, I think that flow will be trying to call me out using the Bible.
00:18:31
Speaker
to propagate or trying to make me look bad in a situation like that. so Sure, so you can see it either way. So you can see it as either you were trying to make a sign like, hey, I'm upset, or hey, I'm trying to make a sign like, we all need to get better, or hey, you need to get better, Jaylen hurts. And I can definitely understand. I see where people are coming from. Obviously, I'm playing the the other side just to have a little bit of um you know good banter and dialogue right now i can see people think he was trying to make a statement but at the same time even if he was trying to make a statement i made a statement with a book that was a self-improvement book to better himself in the middle of a bad game that he was having i don't think there's Nor do I think you want to pull any book. You can pull out a damn new book and I'd be okay with it. Maybe you're trying to figure out if two plus two equals four, so you can figure out if more routes is 90 degrees or not. Like, I don't care. I don't care. If you can find time to read a little bit of a book on a sideline of a game, you're fine. Like, I mean, what is not supposed to be in the game? It'd be different if you were like, oh, I don't want to play. and Right.
00:19:34
Speaker
um anyway All right, let's keep this moving. we you ah I'm sure Flo will be back in just a moment. Thank

00:20:56
Speaker
So since we had last night, we had the Rams versus the Vikings.
Rams vs Vikings Recap
00:21:03
Speaker
Before the game, we talked about Sunday surge. If you're there, make sure you tune in on Sundays. We're only going for a couple more Sundays, so we can go for football. So if you did not get this, we did walk out this game beforehand. We created it. And so we had the Minnesota Vikings traveling to the L.A. Rams in Arizona. It's not a home game anymore due to wildfires in L.A. We actually moved to Glendale at the Arizona Cardinals Stadium. So, are you back? No, can't see, no stat. All right, man, so we had the Minnesota Vikings went against the L.A. Rams.
00:21:42
Speaker
And man that that man, that was a tumultuous game. Omar, it was nine to 27, but ah we had Sam Donald end up going 25 or 40, threw it 20, 45 yards, one TD, one interception. Aaron Jones went 13 carries, 45 yards. Hockinson went five receptions, 50, 64 yards, one TD. Matthew Stafford went,
00:22:09
Speaker
19 for 27, 209 yards. Two TDs. Williams went 19. He went 16 carries. 76 yards. He could be five receptions, 58 yards. Here's the thing, man. We talked about this about a few weeks ago, guys. The Rams were the most dangerous team going into the playoffs. And here's the thing, Omar.
00:22:38
Speaker
cut with all the calamity, with all the issues, with all the things that happened in LA. This was the buffer that catapulted these guys going into the playoffs, man. I think they're dangerous, man. I think that they're dangerous. I think they made a statement. I think it says a lot about them as they move forward, as they keep moving. They're dangerous.
00:23:08
Speaker
They look good, man. No, oh yeah no I was sorry about that. I didn't mean to step on you there. that ah yeah we were we were We talked about how they came back from attrition during the year. They started off at a lot of injuries, had a bit of a losing streak to start off, ended up with a losing record but in the first eight games, and they started to bounce back, right? word naty They were able to win enough games to make it into the playoffs.
00:23:35
Speaker
donoon but And so, yes, we talked about how they could be um you know a dangerous team to upset other teams, especially because they're fully healthy now. um yeah But we also talked about, and I know this was on Sunday, and don't worry, brother, we all we all have to take our our personal time. yeah You are good to go. ah But ah tweet we all talked about how because it was going to Arizona,
00:24:01
Speaker
that Minnesota was most likely to win the game, and we all picked Minnesota, and we also picked, uh... I picked L.A. Oh, okay, it's my best, and it was me and Hot Tank J. It was my best. So, I was gonna pick L.A. Um, but what I wanna say here is that, all year long, I talked about Sam Darnold turning back into the company. All year long... We both did. And now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, And he now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, did. now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, He went full now pumpkin mode. The last two games, he did. He proved what me and Flo had predicted, correct? He proved that, and it was a horrible two-game stretch, not only for him, but for the Vikings, who only scored one touchdown in the last two games.
00:24:51
Speaker
um it It's hard. He got stuck nine times. Nine times he got stuck. He held on so long and the problem is that, and I said this before, he was good because he was in a system that made him hurt. The Evan O'Connell system made him into the better quarterback that he proved to be the season, but when you're getting rushed and pressured so much like the Los Angeles Rams did, it knocked you off your timing. And as a quarterback like Darnell, you need that timing because you need to be able to make it through your progressions as you stand the field and you ain't have enough time to wipe his butt in the and in the back field. So,
00:25:36
Speaker
um Horrible game for him. Full-punching mode. Vikings screwed this up royally. Actually can waste a season for a Viking covering party 14 and 2. Also, maybe the NFL needs to be caught receding after the playoffs start. Because, you know, do division winners necessarily, should they get a just they won the division? I don't know. I don't know. it's a Yeah, i I said, I said from the beginning, well, before the game, I said that all they gotta do is do what Detroit did, make them feel uncomfortable back there, and i'm gonna do the same thing. And that's why I felt the Rams could do the same, basically the same game plan and say, hey, okay, beat us, but you're gonna have to beat us, you know, running or moving around, you're gonna have to beat us quickly, make quick decisions. And that's how that's how they beat them exactly the way that the Detroit Lions did.
00:26:31
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. No, you're you're completely right. Um, you know, they really disrupted their game. I think you froze their first episode and continue.
00:26:42
Speaker
Yeah, no, I'm just saying that I mean that's that's what I had said How the Rams are gonna win this game? was was Disrupting it's disrupting him getting to him early making him feel uncomfortable And that's how they were gonna win this game. And that's that's kind of why I picked the Rams Because I felt they they had enough personnel on defense to do that. Yeah, no, that was a great fight You've been hyping up their defense end them all year long. yeah You've been hyping the range for the past couple years but the Yeah. Yeah. Jam said that they are it to him. I don't agree with the statement. I think they are a dangerous team. He said he thinks they're the most dangerous team right now in the playoff with the underdog status and being fully healthy and all that. I think the Rams ah can make a statement. I think the Rams can make a statement. what flioff man
00:27:31
Speaker
I agree with Ken and especially in this aspect Shout out to all those out there who are going through these fires in LA and that in that area and You saw how they rallied around they all had the l LA SD shirts uh there was a lot of fans that showed up from LA even in Arizona so I think this can be a kind of a rallying call uh kind of like the Saints did with Katrina or I don't remember what and when that was it was a hurricane or something happened and I think this can be one of those things that can motivate the team and bring them together kind of a bigger cause hey this is for our city this is for you know all those that are suffering and so I think this can be one of those things that can propel them a little further than they may have gone even even as we think they know they were they were possible you know Dark Horse team
00:28:23
Speaker
Yeah, so I think this could be, this could get them to the NFC Championship just by that the the fact that they have this extra motivation. But Flo, do you do do you think they had the propensity to make it to the NFC Championship? That's the question. I think they had a shot, but I think this this propels them a little further. I think this gives them a little more motivation to try and make that happen.
00:28:46
Speaker
You know how cities rally around a team or a sports team in these kind of cases, you know? And and and they're going through all this right now. And I just feel like this is going to be one of those things where this could propel them further than they may have gone before. Maybe they maybe they make a they you know they have a good next game, but now this might propel them to win the next game and get to the NFC Championship. yeah Extra motivation, that extra sense of, of ah you know, like a mission. We have a mission. We want to do something bigger than us. We want to do this for the city, for California, who's going through all these all these fires and stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:34
Speaker
What else are we talking about? All right, what's next on the docket? A-U-C? What's up, A-U-C? Did we talk all day and they say already? said we We already did. Well, we got to hit the Eagles. Then the Eagles and the, uh, uh, well, the Eagles and the, uh,
00:29:55
Speaker
commanders eaglego Commanders and Eagles, Uh, Oh yeah. Well, did y'all talk about the bucks and the, uh, the commander's name?
Commanders vs Buccaneers Analysis
00:30:08
Speaker
I care about that game. I mean, the bus and the commander's game.
00:30:12
Speaker
yeah fish food man I mean that was a close game. I mean it could have gone either way. I think the bigger that with that game was the fact that um billgo here Baker had that fumble on their side feel go I mean, i mean with that but Baker had that fumble on their side of the field. After they had already stopped them on a fourth down to get the ball back, they give the ball right back to the commanders. And to me, that was the difference in the game. your thoughts and um more I thought that that fumble was the biggest turnaround in that game, because you had just stopped the commanders on four downs to get the ball back. And then you give them another four downs. It took them another four downs to get that touchdown. and that's the difference in the game to me is is that they gave that ball a short field back to the commanders after they just failed on four downs yeah it's funny that you say that because it reminds me of something that i meant to say and does my mic sound okay i had to go i didn't yes i did yeah i had to Anyway, so I'm glad you bring that up because what I wanted to say during the during the Vikings portion and the Rams portion that I forgot to talk about was this wasn't just on Sam Darnold though. It was also on Kevin O'Connell for bad play calling. Because if you remember the reason the whole the Vikings whole win was Floyd was Jared Burst. You've been hyped up Flo the rookie there. He um picked up a fumble.
00:31:45
Speaker
with 435 left and took it in for the touchdown to go up 7-23. And then Kevin O'Connell and the Vikings were at around midfield and decided to go for it on fourth and two, missed it. The Rams drove down the field, scored before halftime, and went up 24-3, where if they would have just punted the ball and gone into halftime down 14, they may have actually had a chance. in the second half to win the game. Reminds me of something similar here, right? This was a little later in the game, obviously, which was the second to last drive where Baker Mayfield made the fumble, but I mentioned this on my show.
00:32:20
Speaker
yesterday as well, especially on Sunday surge. Bucky Irving made a mistake like that two weeks ago that all almost costed the Tampa Bay Bucks from getting into the playoffs at all. And now this was such a nip and tuck game that one mistake like that costs you. And to be fair, the Bucks are probably one of the best teams ah and in the red zone, stopping teams from scoring touchdowns. But if you give a team eight tries,
00:32:48
Speaker
I mean, the chances are you're going to get one, you know, so they basically gave them eight track because they held them to another four down. Remember that game. And they they got on the very last shot. And so I just feel like you give a team eight tries to get in, in the 20 inside the 20 and they're going to get one. eventual great All right, I'm a little lost. Where are we at right now, Omar? Oh, my bad. We were talking about the commander's buccaneers. I got a little away from them. I'm sorry for my engine, but I thought it made sense there, and it did. But yeah, congrats to the commanders. I'm here in the DMV still, and man, they went crazy this weekend. Now, get on that. It was a little lucky. We know they got the doink off the field, though. Yeah. Sorry. I think the the announcers call them the the cardiac commanders.
00:33:38
Speaker
Yeah, the cardia code yeah could and and this is what I told and my my chaplain he's a he's a commander's fan So we give him I give him a hard time, but he was all hyped up. I go. Hey listen You've got a lot of lucky bounces this year All those games could have gone the other way that those one score games could have gone the other way That hell mary pass could have not been you know Caught by your team. right right right There's a lot of one. you know And I told him, remember the Cowboys game? That one came down to the last few plays. And it didn't bounce your way that day. So you could have had a lot more not bounce your way. So they've been fortunate. And that's sometimes that's what you need to make the playoffs, to make a little bit of a run, is for the ball to kind of bounce your way. And and things kind of go your way. But I don't think they're good enough to in the next round to to overcome what Detroit has on ah offense. uh this may be a little bit of a shootout because i think both defenses are not as good you know detroit they showed a little something against the vikings but they're they're still a little short-handed i think they got a couple guys back and the commanders don't have a great defense either so this might be a little bit of shootout but i think detroit's gonna have too much for them in the next round
00:34:52
Speaker
Yeah, I know we're going to talk about it here in a little bit, but I believe that I said this on Sunday as well on Sunday's Earth, but the commanders are a year early. They're like the Orioles, the DMV. They're a year early. They're playing with house money at this point. so okay guys yeah your with That's one of the things for sure. They got nothing to lose.
00:35:12
Speaker
That's the other thing. That's what makes a team dangerous as well. And a team like the Toi that's been dealing with a lot of injuries all year could be could be susceptible to an underdog scrappy team like Big Man. Scrappy!
00:35:28
Speaker
Scrappy! Scrappy! Scrappy! I don't have it. i mean i mean i'm off I'm on my iPad. I lost six on my laptop.
00:35:40
Speaker
Grumpy. There you go. You got to do the echo now. All right, go. What's next?
00:35:50
Speaker
You want to go ahead and predict the games coming up this weekend? Did y'all hit something that might not have football? Yeah, we can we can hit the games. or We can hit the games coming up. And then we got to hit top college too, right? We're not going to be back before that. You want to hit college first and then come back to it? Yeah, let's hit college first. Give it a little switch up for the show. Then we'll come back.
00:36:10
Speaker
All right, so what about the last two games Penn State I think we who picked Notre Dame with my fan north ohio and and notre dam OK, yeah, i I think I picked Penn State and Ohio State. So ah it was a great game. The Notre Dame and Penn State, I thought they're going to finally pull it off.
Notre Dame vs Penn State Recap
00:36:34
Speaker
And it feels like Franklin still has that monkey on his back at losing. Once again, I considered a big game. This is really a big game. And he's still got that kind of a monkey on his back that he can't win the big ones, kind of teams. What are your thoughts on Notre Dame Penn State and what happened there?
00:36:51
Speaker
Man, so here here's the thing about Notre Dame, man. I think Notre Dame, with Notre Dame over Georgia. No, this one. Yeah, how Franklin can win the big one. Is this, he's still got that, is it still on his back, the monkey on the back, on his back, so to speak. Notre Dame over Pitt State, man. Whoo. It was a close game.
00:37:24
Speaker
Here's the thing, man. ja van franking James got a lot on his lot on his shoulders, man. And the thing about it, it's two brothers, man. And a lot of people were hanging. A lot of people was like ringing over his neck. And the thing about that game is... don I don't even think... um the Notre Dame guy going to be able to beat Ohio State in that game. I mean, it kind of felt like Penn State was going to run away with it a little bit. Yeah. That fourth quarter. Yeah. Feel like Penn State was going to start pulling away into that fourth quarter. right float and It kind of all fell apart. I mean, you have that, uh,
00:38:08
Speaker
That one, I think, was it the quarterback for Penn State trying to throw it in the ground and the guy picks it off? Or it was just a one. It just kind of like fell apart. oh It just kind of went downhill in that fourth quarter. And what are your thoughts, Omar, on what happened here? Is this is this a Franklin issue? is it just he's got I know he's still got the monkey on his back, but is this was it more his fault or just kind of the way the ball bounced? Coaching, man. Coaching.
00:38:36
Speaker
Uh, look, I have lamented time after time after time that James Franklin is not a big game coach. He is not able to succeed in these types of environments. He does not make the correct play calls. He does not have his team properly.
00:38:58
Speaker
motivated or trained or practiced for many different things. Now, I'm not going to take anything away from the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. They lost one game all season long, and that was an upset. They've always been perennially a good team. Now they have a great coach, Marcus Freeman, who has proved that Brian Kelly was one that you can get to a college championship at Notre Dame. And they'll be willing to bring their 12th title, which is amazing, thinking about it. And their first in 1988, so not to go today. But yes, you got Drew Allard throwing the ball to the ground. It's accepted by Christian Gray, who just dives and catches the ball off the ground. You've got a delayed comeback. You've got the field goal at the end in the game. So yes, some people may say, oh, well, that was close enough that you can't really play into that on
00:39:55
Speaker
fun want to give him that topout because pain was forced i don'll do whatever you really want to do But I've seen this happening now for 24 games against top 10 opponents. And you know what his record is in those 24 games. He's 4 and 20.
00:40:14
Speaker
four in twenty against and 10 opponents got over Boise State SMU had an easy road to in the playoffs to be able to go against teams that they were favored again um and he could not and would not get it done when the time matters and he's still going to get it done and in my eyes and in many of the eyes of Penn State, I have a, I booked my first today.
00:40:48
Speaker
Many people are very, very upset and very caught up in the fact that he cannot win a big game that they don't know if he ever won. So, even after taking him to the final four teams, you think he's out? He may be out next year? I mean, they wanted to fire Ryan Day because he lost to Michigan. So, I mean, what are we talking about? man The NFL, college sports, major league baseball, hockey, they're all still fickle. They get rid of coaches even though... They fickle, Omar, fickle. We're talking about the way the Cowboys and McCarthy will talk about that. But it happens all the time, especially in hockey. I think coaches will win the Stanley Cup and get fired the next season because they started off all of that. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
00:41:29
Speaker
there's the there's there's that ah there's that um immediate gratification that people want, right? That instant gratification that people want. And in sports, it's not possible, especially in the NFL, when you have to build a winner from the ground up, using mostly the draft and then supplementing with free agency. Not just going in there and changing coaches in gyms every two years and trying to sign the best for agents and throwing darts at the wall like the Raiders do. Shots fired at my own team.
00:41:58
Speaker
And here's the thing, Omar, you start from scratch. You build from nothing, and they expect you to build from nothing and to win. How? How? Over the years. How can I do that? You give Drognale one year, what's she supposed to do? Right? Give it. and Give it. And then, Omar, you throw him to the wolves. Like, you got if you're going to do that, give the give them a little longer leash. we at Come on, man. Yeah. Make it make sense.
00:42:26
Speaker
And you agree you talk about interim coaches all the time. And that could be eliminated if you just hired a new coach instead of an interim coach. Right. megan makes so You got anything else ah on this game? No, no. You're good. OK. So the other game on the docket was Ohio State, Texas, laugh track, um Texas, Texas game. You showed up when the Broncos lost, but you ain't showed up for the Texas Longhorns conversation.
00:42:55
Speaker
Oh man, I was, I was, I was so happy. It was funny. And remember I said, Jay convinced me talking about the, to go for Ohio state. So at the last minute I switched it up and said Ohio state to the women's game. Of course I thought Penn State was going to be Penn State Ohio state, but still, Ohio state.
00:43:15
Speaker
It was a fairly close game for most of the game can. I think it was 14-7. And then Texas scored in the third quarter. So it was a tied up game until the fourth quarter. And then almost something similar kind of went downhill in the fourth quarter for the Longhorns. And then, of course, it was a Jack Sawyer had that one pick six. Or was it a scooping score? I can't remember. But it was a scooping score at the end of the come up, kind of putting the nail in the coffin a little bit. Your thoughts on this canteen and then Omar?
00:43:45
Speaker
So the Ohio State game was 28 to 14. Yeah. Howard ended up 24 for 33. 289 yards, one TD, one interception. Henderson, six carries, 42 yards. Tate, seven receptions, 87 yards. Ewers, 23 for 39, 283 yards. t Two TDs, one interception. Weisner, 17 carries, 46 yards. Blue, five receptions, 59 yards, two TDs. Here's the thing, man. Ohio State, the truth.
00:44:21
Speaker
I mean, Jake said this was a national champion. Whoever won this game is basically going to win it. Man, Jake Zayn did a damn thing. dying i know he what with you you know hey not all on queen yours causeita i a spell chicken that that I'm a spell Jake tonight cuz I won't hear the other night.

00:44:54
Speaker
I'm going to give him grace, man. I was sleeping Sunday night. I got to give him man grace. Well, I know Omar is not going to give him too much grace.
Ohio State vs Texas Summary
00:45:02
Speaker
I'm going to give him the text as long words. And I know Jake will be You know me too well. You know me too well. Who knows? Who knows? He knows I ain't going to let him escape like that. You ain't getting off like just because you ain't show up to the show. You're going to get this work right now, boy. You're going to get this work right now, bro.
00:45:34
Speaker
facebook its because you too up to show that i wasn't gonna talk talk about detective's wrongh horns i you i know you listening at home at work and I want you to hear it is laden frilo lay plant tell i am but potato yeah hear want you hear two sentences from me. Thank you for the reminder. First of all, send me my damn baconettes I've been asking for and double that.
00:45:58
Speaker
Take your bum-ass long horse and meet your bum-ass ponies down in Cancun, baby, because that's all that's happening. Y'all messed it up, done blowed up the game in the fourth quarter. Like Flo said, you were in it all game and just managed to screw it all up at the end because that's what the Texas Longhorns have done the past 20 years since Vince Young won their last title in 2005. Man, I wish he was here.
00:46:27
Speaker
Oh, man. I wish he was here too. afternoon I'm not going to say nothing else because I'm going to take you the rest of my energy for the next time I see you. But just know know that I will never, ever give you leeway. Ever. Ever. Yeah, I mean, this is fun. ah So it's going to be Ohio State Notre Dame. Your quick thoughts on who who you favor in this game. Who do you think is going to win this game this weekend?
00:46:55
Speaker
i one hell night Monday at 7 30 Monday. Yeah, we'll call it. We'll call it right now. Who do you like in this game? Coming up Ohio State. Yeah. No, the name Ohio State by 30 30. You this canteen.
00:47:20
Speaker
Ohio State is favored to win this game according to the athletics projection. They have a 69% chance to win this game for 31% chance for Notre Dame. And you know where I'm gonna go because I picked Ohio State before the season even began to win the championship. So this would be my second year in a row of calling the national championship before the season.
Ohio State vs Notre Dame Predictions
00:47:46
Speaker
well I'm sticking with the OSU, so I could be right two years in a row. Is there a nine in your halfway favorite, the 45.5 implied point spread? So, yeah, I'm not going to be 30. I don't believe it's going to be that big. I'm going to go I'm going to go 10. I mean, push on John Scott's running back. is just a
00:48:09
Speaker
um Yeah, I just can't see Ohio State. Ohio State is a better team all around it. I believe that also Ryan Day being the more experienced coach and Marcus Freeman puts them over the top. I'm going to take Ohio State. I agree, but probably I'm going to say not stand before team. I'm going to go.
00:48:28
Speaker
the thirty one seventeen ohio Okay, all right, well, I'm gonna you know what I'm gonna get Marcus Freeman a little more credit I'm gonna say hi go these guys up And I think it's go they're gonna they're gonna still lose But I think they're gonna I think they're gonna make it he's gonna it's gonna be a little closer ah Than that and I think he's gonna coach these guys up. I like the way he's got them playing inspired football I think they got a pretty solid defense. I think if they can keep it close Into the fourth quarter. I don't think they're gonna mess up like Texas did I think they're gonna be able to make it a game I think it'll come down probably to the last few minutes of the the fourth quarter, it'll come down. I'm going to say it's seven point game that Ohio State scores late and then and they're able to hold Notre Dame from scoring and coming down at the game and they win it by seven. But I think it's going to be a good game.
00:49:28
Speaker
Yeah, I kind of I just kind of see it. I just kind of see it being more like ah like what Ohio State. did exactly be honest i don't it much of that And again, I like Notre Dame their team. I just don't think they're as strong as as Ohio State. I agree. I just think that this for this one game they're going to play above their heads and they're going to make it close.
00:49:48
Speaker
Alright, so let's get let's get to the divisional round. Get them in the order. They're coming in Saturday. We got the Texans at Kansas City and the commanders at the Detroit Lions. Both these games at first glance look like they're going to be Quote unquote easy wins for the number one seeds or fairly easy wins for the number one seeds canteen Both who won Kansas City's eight and a half Favorite and Detroit's nine and a half favorite I tend to think the commander's game will be a little closer. I think they're playing better right now They're playing a little more inspired football, but I still think they they're gonna lose that game But give us your thoughts on Houston Casey canteen. I Like all You said Texans earlier. Man, you talk too much man. stop him i may Every time you get on social media, put my business out. You put your, set you're on social media. Where do you want to put it? and they made it's out there on the internet You you're a pastor, let everything in hell brill pray the Lord.

Texans vs Chiefs Preview
00:52:38
Speaker
And then the testing wins. And I will find pasture. Omar, you heard it. Omar, you heard it from my mouth. I will find passengers, green passengers to walk on. I'm going with a texting by 10. I'm going with texting by 10. Texting by 10. I'm going with texting by 10. What do you got Omar?
00:52:58
Speaker
e um i mean are the lord I don't know what that was. or even know what yeah was the ah give praise the lord that's all i let's keep a moving wow that was that was wild all right so your ah individual games this weekend can obviously We just talked about how the commanders are a scary team because they're playing the house money they're playing with with nothing to lose. And they're going up against a Detroit Lions team that, you know, the lost games, and not lost games, but lost important players during the regular season to injury.
00:53:38
Speaker
later in the season were games that much harder, um not that they necessarily lost the games, but they still made made those games much closer. ah the choices i mean so we we know Detroit we've been talking about has been one of the toughest teams all season long, and if it wasn't for the injuries, I'd still probably be calling them a favorite in the NFC, but because they faced so many injuries, people started to downgrade. The line was an eight and a half to open up,
00:54:06
Speaker
um so we're going texas texas kc first up listen oh shoot my bad so why'd you stop me before when you heard me talking about the long because i'm like i thought you were just i thought you were about the other game i thought you were you were all gonna bring it all together I'm going to bring it all together later. You just hold that in your head for when we get to the game. All right. Here's directions. I think Canteen got you all confused with all of this. He got me. Man, don't come up to him like that by half of the night. Don't come up to him like, Jesus Christ. I'm not sure what happened. even said right before you win, he said Texans by 10 and then you start going off on the other other game.
00:54:52
Speaker
Anyway, all right, Chiefs are eight-point favorites for 41 and a half point red. And the Chiefs, the big thing for them is that they've been off since Christmas. So, you know, Pat Mahomes hasn't thrown a pass in almost three weeks. The team hasn't been on the field in almost three weeks. And so, could they be rusty? Yes, but we also know that Andy Reid is the best coach in history.
00:55:19
Speaker
when it comes weeks um I know he was unde i think he's undefeated by weeks in the regular season, but someone kind of wreck could be right. You might be right. yeah someone be Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they're undefeated after by weeks during the regular. Anyways.
00:55:35
Speaker
So ah they did face off in week 16 because the Chiefs won 27 to 19. You got to take that with a grain of focus again. Patrick Mahomes had an ankle injury at that point in time. Plus they didn't have Pacheco. Yeah. Plus they didn't have Pacheco. Plus the Texans were a little bit on the downside. Now they bounced back. They also didn't have Hollywood. Hollywood Brown was not there either. Right. That's a good point. Right. um But again,
00:56:01
Speaker
Patrick Holmes is 6-0 in the divisional round. Most ways without a loss in playoff history. I can't take Texans as much as I think the Texans are going to be a good team, a good squad. They did regress this evening, honestly. And I just did not pick them over as much as I hate the Chiefs. I do hate them. I don't know how to say it. I hate having to pick them. But I'm also a realist and also no football. And so I'm going to take the Kansas City Chiefs in a 30 no 28
00:56:36
Speaker
20 to 20 to 17, 11 points win in the city. So they cover. Yeah, I like KC too. I think the layout would be maybe a little rusty coming into this game. So you may see a little rust early on. put a bridge and Maybe they run the ball a little bit to try and knock off some of that rust. Maybe they take some easy passes. ah Plus the Texans just played a tough game. That game was,
00:57:05
Speaker
you know pretty close into the going into the second half and the charges just kind of fell apart. I just don't see Casey falling apart. I think Houston will keep it close into the second half and I think that in the end the Chiefs kind of pull away.
Commanders vs Lions Predictions
00:57:21
Speaker
I wasn't going to say they cover but now I'm going to say they probably cover. I'm going to go It's not a high scoring game, because the Chiefs haven't scored 30 points all year. I think because of the rust, they keep that trend going. I think they're going to end up somewhere in the neighborhood of, ah I'm going to 17. And they pull away, get a late touchdown to you know seal the deal. It'll probably be 20 to 17. And then late in it late in the game, they'll get a touchdown, seal a deal. And they win this game by 10 and do a backdoor cover.
00:57:55
Speaker
oh all right sunday we got uh one pm game is the rams at the red hot rams at the eagles and then we have the baltimore ravens probably the best game of the weekend of playing the bills two candidates that Did you skip the Commanders and Lions now, right after you? Oh, yeah, Commanders and Lions, my bad. Yeah, I'm confused now. Commanders and Lions, Canteen, because you talked about it. I thought we talked about it. I know. I can't confuse me. I can't confuse you. Commanders with the Lions, Canteen, let's get that one first. And then we'll talk about what we just said. Who do you like there, Ken, and why? All right, fellas, Commanders and Lions, man, that's going to be a good one, man.
00:58:51
Speaker
Commanders and Lions, man. That's gonna be a tight one across the board, man. I'm ah it's gonna you guys. What are you thinking? Come on. oh
00:59:11
Speaker
I'm gonna go Commanders 24. Lions 21. Oh, wow. like the Commander's upset. Top set. Tight on the board. What was the score again? 24-21. Amanda's. Wow. Tell me why. What's what's your main reason?
00:59:40
Speaker
Man, it's going to be tight on the board, bro.
00:59:44
Speaker
tight pull adam him one more got i don't know'll be tight on the board What's gonna make it tight on the board What makes it time on the board Let it be let it be flaless Let it be let it be let it be be a lot help us out let's get some little analysis in here let be lety let it be I need whoever was the one that was on here the other day commenting. I think it might have been you can't cross, but I'm not sure. I was commenting about Kenji. We always had to ask him what he meant with this pic. I love it, Kenji. You might be on someone. All right. Let it be. Andrew's are eight and a half. Omar, you better trust. Omar, you got to trust with me, man. Trust me, brother.
01:00:40
Speaker
love ah what told Oh, um my. Oh, my. Oh, my. if You don't start trusting my judgment, man. You're going to fall by the wayside, man. I'm telling you, man. The Detroit Lions are nine and a half point favorites with a 55 and a half point spread. This is going to, as as as mentioned earlier, probably be a pretty higher scoring game. If we look back into the regular season, and it would suit the Lions and the Commander's baseball and Detroit 136. and it was obviously before later and the season when Jayden, Daniel started getting better. What game was that, kid Omar? That was week two. Week two. Yeah, okay. I was so wondering because I think Jayden got hurt early on. I don't know if that was one of the weeks right when he got hurt. No, it was after that. It was after that. He would still help me by that. But he was still a second game. He was still had a lot to a second game. That's fair. um but And this will be only the sixth time in the Super Bowl era
01:01:38
Speaker
era that a rookie QB will face the teams that had the best record in the league or care of the best record in the league. Sixth time in history for that to happen. That to me, plus the fact that Detroit has been able to hold down running quarterback within their schedule. If you remember, back in week three, they held Tyler Murray to 45. Rushy yards, Peyton Richton to 61 yards in week 10. Baylon Williams, Josh Allen,
01:02:11
Speaker
was the only one that was really able to rush all over them. So yes, I think James Daniels will be able to get a little bit of his running game off and because he plays a aggressive man-to-man comfort on the outside. And so when they do that, their corner backs are obviously taken up with the right receivers. And if you've got safety help over the top, your quarterback is going to have more room to run excuse me on the outside. But I still believe the ultimate defense of the Lions being better than the Commander's defense and the offense being
01:02:52
Speaker
Better, if not, ah I mean, some people could put the commanders on the level. You probably think that the lion's offense is still be a little better. So if that's the better offense and the better defense, give me the lion. I'm going to go dirty. I said this for earlier, I think. I'm going to go, I did with Ohio State. No, I said 34-24. OK. 34-24. Detroit lion.
01:03:23
Speaker
34, 24? Okay. Yeah, um this is going to be a good game. I think, like you said, Omar, you've always liked to talk about momentum. And the commanders-of-law have won their last six games in a row. Detroit has had a hiccup in there with the Bills.
01:03:45
Speaker
And the fact that both of these teams scored close to 30, Detroit 33, the number one team in the in the NFL, and then the commanders 28 and a half, scoring 20 and a half per game average. And so I think they have a lot of momentum going into this game. the last big game that Detroit had was against the Vikings but they had a great game plan for them they've seen them before the last big game before that was the Bills and they lost that game 42 to 48 and then they also allowed kind of a hapless 49ers team at that point they allowed them to score 34 points on them and so that was late in the season as well so despite how well they played against the Vikings I thought this is gonna be a ah real shootout this is they're both gonna score in the 30s And I think for the Vikings do not allow this game to to continue to be into the fourth quarter a one score game because as we know the Washington commanders have won almost every one score game they've been in and they're on a six game loot winning streak at this point.
01:04:59
Speaker
and most of those games are one-score games. You give Jaden Daniels a chance at the end, the he's shown that he he can he can handle the pressure and he can go in there and drive him down the field for a field goal or touchdown if need be. So I think Lions need to pull away. This is going to be a nail-batter for them, I think.
01:05:20
Speaker
I think the Lions still end up pulling it out. It's going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 38-35. The Lions squeak by and they finally stop the commanders late in the game and hold on to win this game and go to the NFC Championship. It's going to be an exciting, high-scoring game.
01:05:39
Speaker
Alright, let's go to the Rams and Philly.
Rams vs Eagles Playoff Preview
01:05:44
Speaker
One o'clock game on my time, probably two o'clock most people. ah the philly the philly or The Eagles are six point favorites at home. But the Rams, on a little bit of a hot streak, they looked really good last game ah against the Vikings. Let's see what they can do. Even if looked a little rusty. Your thoughts?
01:06:13
Speaker
No, I said this Sunday, I said the Rams were the hottest team popping. You gonna take another underdog?
01:06:24
Speaker
I'm just saying you told you. Every time you get on social media, you run your mouth. Every time you talk to me, all you do is run your mouth. Talk too much, man. I told you about running your mouth. OK, OK. I'm $100. I don't think they can beat an eagle, though.
01:06:48
Speaker
oh I don't think they can beat the though. the Eagles though. You're under our God, but yes you're not going to take them this time.
01:06:59
Speaker
o Okay, give me give us your why you think the Eagles going to win. Eagle high, man. Eagle high. No, you're not saying anything you just said about the last one. Give us some more insight please.
01:07:16
Speaker
Hold on, I said, I said, Hertz hot, say Quan hot. Okay. You got a man on the sideline and you got a man, and you got a man on the sideline, read books. He educated, he sophisticated, and he hot too. What you talking about? You got a score, can't seem.
01:07:37
Speaker
Hey, no more, no more onion juice for you. Go ahead. That's right. Yeah, man. You know what I'm saying? I don't know what the vodka did, dude. You got you all no more onion juice. I like the mint juice. You got a sip of that brown, brother. That's our problem now, y'all. Y'all got Brega seed. You got a score, Ken? You got a score. That's great. I'm not finna argue with nobody. You got a score? Stop sipping on that.
01:08:06
Speaker
I think you you don't have orange juice and vodka. You have vodka with a splash of orange juice is what I think. Right.
01:08:13
Speaker
a you I tell you about running your mouth low, Red. Are you getting the score? It was four. Tell you about running your mouth. What's your score? On Sunday.
01:08:27
Speaker
Yeah. Can I, can I, can I say my score? Can I say my score, please? I've been waiting on you. Go ahead.
01:08:48
Speaker
why you looking your own trigger your sport make it up thirty thirty four twenty thirty four twenty He writes them all down. He is 3420. 3420 man. 3420 right now. Right down. Right now. 3420. I want you to write it down. right in february twenty That's a 14-point game, so you did good. Go. And and you know, it's funny, Pantene, because I'm sure none of us remember. I just read it today, and I didn't remember. But back in week 12, the Eagles won 37 to 20. So a similar sport to what Pantene just gave when Hickam Barkley ran for a record-setting franchise that's 255 yards. Jalen Hurts.
01:09:36
Speaker
is undefeated in home playoff games, but he only averages 154 yards per game in those games. So, all of that plus our little soliloquy at the beginning of the show and our debate and banter about AJ Brown and the Englishness or ignorance of reading a book on the sideline, whichever way you look at it, it looks like you may be reading a little more of a book week because this is a game for St. Lombard to go off and Jalen Hurst to be a game manager. That's what I expect. I expect the Eagles to win. I expect it to be similar to what Santini said. I'm not going to say 34-20 because I don't think it'll be that big of a victory, but I will say
01:10:22
Speaker
30 to 23 eagles okay um yeah man i want to say This will be a higher scoring game, umm um but I'm gonna try and go the opposite. I think both these, I think both these opposites have had a propensity to struggle. The Eagles a little bit, and so the Rams have as well on and off, but they have, if you don't count the Seattle game where they arrest everybody, they won six in a row. So that's, to me that's momentum going into the playoffs for the Rams. And the Eagles, I thought we could, we saw a lot, a little bit of rust.
01:11:06
Speaker
with Jalen Hurts they ran the ball well but he did not play that well in that game. Jalen Hurts struggled a little bit against even though they won fairly easily. Jalen Hurts only through thirteen only completed passes for 21 and 135 yards. Of course they didn't need it all. Barkley was kind of carried them through that game. So I feel like they're gonna make Jalen Hurts beat him. This is their game plan going into this. I feel that they have some momentum going into this game. And I feel like Jaylen is still struggling trying to find his game. They're going to focus on Barkley. This will make it a little easier for Jaylen because it will simplify if they if they load the barks. It's going to simplify the coverage for Jaylen. And I think they're going to live with that. Hey, you can be this with the pass, Jaylen.
01:11:57
Speaker
Congratulations. I think that's the game plan for the Rams. They have a lot of young. They're one of the youngest teams on defense. So they have a lot of youth, but they played a whole season now. And I feel like they've got a little more experience. They've won a good a game, a playoff game. And I think Everybody's healthy now on offense. I just feel like the Rams are going to upset the Eagles in this game. It's going to be a close game. I think it'll be a little bit of an ugly game offensively as far as scoring. And I think that the Rams will pull this out late in the nail batter 24-23. Rams pull it out in a close one.
01:12:38
Speaker
e All right, so let's go.
Ravens vs Bills Preview
01:12:42
Speaker
Sunday, 4.30, 5.30 central. Baltimore at the Bills. Biggest game of the weekend. Biggest, at least on paper, looks like the one of the best games of the weekend. Two MVP candidates going head to head offensively, not with each other, but against the other's defense. Baltimore is a one and one one point favorite on the road. Little surprise here that they're the favorites.
01:13:13
Speaker
Going on there. I thought they would be, they'd still give Buffalo maybe two points or one point, but Baltimore is the favorite going into Buffalo. Your thoughts, Canteen? Blow out. Oh, really? Blow out. Tell us why. Tell us why. If Buffalo don't make a statement this year, they didn't let it go. They weren't supposed to make a statement this year. Buffalo by 14.
01:13:43
Speaker
What? Oh, I thought you were the other way. Josh Allen better be the MVP. Wow. Josh Allen better be the MVP. And they're the underdogs, so that's your, that's, that's par for you. And they better, and he better be the MVP. Bills, Bills, 27,
01:14:09
Speaker
Ravens, 14. Twenty seven fourteen. Wow. We just get two scores. Twenty seven. Let's let's let's go build. Hey, shout out. I kind of know where you're going with this one, I think. Sports says salute to the panel. I'm about to sub. We appreciate that. Make sure everybody is subscribed at the bottom line sports. Let's go, y'all.
01:14:37
Speaker
the bottom line sports. All right, let's get into this game. You already know where I'm going to go because I picked Baltimore to go to the Super Bowl before the season started. So I always stick with the teams. I think in week four, these two teams, it was a blowout on the side of Baltimore, 45 to 10 over Buffalo. Now, we all know that Josh Allen did one stronger at the end of Baltimore.
01:15:12
Speaker
average thirty five They will be the seventh matchup in most season history, which will continue to average at least 30-50 games during the regular season.
01:15:23
Speaker
yeah As I mentioned, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have a lot, a lot better, ah pi especially in the second half of the season when Josh Allen started taking over everything, and he raced into a head, which is why this is going to be the best game of the week, and you were right about that, and probably one of the best games we've seen in a while. The reason, though, that I would not pick the Bills, even if I had not picked Ravens before the season,
01:15:54
Speaker
is that the Raven present the build with a lot of difficulty defensible. What do I feel? The builds have played with five or more defensive backs on the field for at least 95% of their s snaps. That means 95% of the time they have five TBs on the field.
01:16:17
Speaker
makes it harder to stack the box against the king Derek Henry or as we used to call him King Henry here in Nashville.
01:16:29
Speaker
<unk> in the boot which they shouldn't have, because he's proved that he's still a beast. And he's going to beast again. This game is just going to be like the last game I called. They need to run the ball with Derek Henry, just like the Eagles need to run the ball with St. Paul Barkley. But Derek Henry and the Ravens can rush like they did last time. They piled they piled up 271 yards ah between all of them. And then just last week, they went for 299.
01:16:57
Speaker
This could be a long night for the Bills if they are not able to keep possession of the ball and keep it out of the hands of the Ravens. That is their best spot to win is keep the ball out of the hands of Lamar Jackson and Garrett Kenry. I don't think they'll be able to do it. I do think the Bills are a good team. I do think this will be a very close game that I am going to take. ah Let's see, I'm going to take the Ravens.
01:17:24
Speaker
Obviously, let's see. What's the point spread on this flow? ah It is one point for the Ravens. No, I mean, what's the point? Oh, 51 and a half. 51 and a half. So that implies with a one point, that implies the 26-25 game. So I will take it to 27. 28-27.
01:17:51
Speaker
range it jump out like the pills miss feel there's i don't know twenty eight twenty seven ravens over Okay, that's fair who Yeah where's they On paper this looks like a great game Like you said Omar they're both scoring over 30 points a game um I feel like this is gonna be one of those kind of shootout games back and forth big plays by both quarterbacks uh they do have the edge with king henry rushing almost for 2 000 yards but james cook is no is not too shabby he has 16 touchdowns the same amount as Derek Henry so as far as scoring james cook is on par with Derek Henry and touchdown rushing touchdowns and he has a lot more a lot less attempts and i think james cook is going to be a key to this game keeping them on the field, keeping that keeping the drives going. And the things that that I think
01:18:53
Speaker
um um I'm going to think I'm going to go with Buffalo, and this is one of the reasons why if you see Sean McDermott late in that game or are not late, but in the and that one fourth down play where he would typically go for a field goal, he allowed them on fourth and one to throw the ball with Josh Allen. It kind of proves to me that he's willing to take chances now like he hasn't in the past and that he's going to trust Josh Allen to make a play. when they need it. And so I think this is going to be a little bit of a shootout. I got the Bills edging this out in an exciting game, probably the most exciting of the weekend. I'm going to to 31. Bills pull it out by two, 33-31. They both get their average. And it it's a game, one of the classics in the NFL history, two energy candidates in a quarterback. All
01:19:51
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, what a show. What a crazy show. I hope y'all enjoyed yeah was the mar's finest i pay that. I'll tell you that one. I think we can get some snippets out of that one more.
