Shout out Deion Pratt Business XXL Boxer tuning in on Instagram. We appreciate you, brother. He shares your name, Clever D. I did an interview with him. He's from Louisiana, too.
00:04:03
Speaker
Oh, what part? I don't remember what part. I apologize. But I know your family is from there. So there we go. All right. We're moving on. Let's get to some of these blowout and booty juice games we had today.
NFL Game Analyses
00:04:19
Speaker
There were there were a couple.
00:04:21
Speaker
So let's start with the Bengals beating the Cardinals thirty seven to fourteen The Saints beating the Titans We had the Patriots blowing the Oh, out of the Jets. Holy cannolis. 42 to 10. That is what our girl ah Alicia Bumgarner would call a well-seasoned ass whooping.
00:04:51
Speaker
Let's talk about those first before we get into our game speech. I know and and I didn't forget you. i just want to get these out of the way because they suck. Any thoughts on these games, gentlemen? Is Aaron Glenn going to be a one and done?
00:05:03
Speaker
i mean, the New York Jets are way worse than last year, in my opinion. And I know you don't usually want to fire a coach after one season, man, they're bad, especially on defense. And that's his specialty.
00:05:13
Speaker
Man, they're horrible. And ho-hum go the Patriots. I mean, I know their schedule hasn't been tough, but they're blowing out everybody. Well, come on now. Their schedule has been cupcakeed. It has.
00:05:24
Speaker
but not their full But they're still destroying the teams, though. Like I said, they're they're like they're like the commanders last year, but we didn't blow out everybody. We had like last second game. They're just taking these teams to the woodshed. And if it wasn't for, I mean, Drake Day might be the MVP.
00:05:40
Speaker
I mean, maybe. Who else are you looking at there? I mean, Matthew Stafford fell off the past couple weeks. To me, it's it's Matthew Stafford or Drake May. that that Those are the two guys. and I don't see anybody else.
00:05:53
Speaker
number d Do you have any thoughts on any of these games? I actually liked the Tennessee Saints game. That was actually pretty good down the end. i mean i'm um I'm eating crow on this one. Tyler Shock is legit.
00:06:04
Speaker
He is a good quarterback. 300 yards. three hundred yards yeah he The last few games he's been doing 300 yards. and and Also, ah Ward's are not bad either. knew he was the first pick overall, but he's improved each step away. I mean, it's a crappy team. They're very the body they youngest team. They're starting the most rookies, and it shows, but he's not like a deer in headlights first-year QB. Both of those two young QBs are gonna have a great career.
00:06:28
Speaker
Yeah, me and my dad were watching that game, the Titans and Saints, because it was on ABC at the bar. and And he said, wow, Cam Ward has really improved this year. And the Titans are playing better as the year has gone on. And I said, yeah, no doubt about it. ki And he made this incredible throw where he was like about to get sacked. Yeah, that was great. Lamar, what are your thoughts?
00:06:52
Speaker
Yeah, you know, as far as those booty juice games, man, the the the Jets, I agree with you, Peach, man. I think Glenn is a one and done. Wow. I'm going to tell you why. here's Here's the reason why. Because they've had such a terrible season this year. The only thing about them, the the reason why I would say this is because, look,
00:07:11
Speaker
They did group up a lot of first-round picks from trades. And I think that when you when you look at a team, do you know they got to get a quarterback, right? You want to get your coach that you're going to have to pick his quarterback.
00:07:23
Speaker
So if youre if Glenn is not going to have – you don't want to have him pick a quarterback and then then'll be asked again next year and then you get rid of him, might as well just clean slate, start over, get you a new coach in there with all those picks, try to get this guy to pick the team. I mean, let's hey, guys, I don't know about you. I'm i'm a fan of – I'm a fan of records.
00:07:41
Speaker
And I am dying to see them break the record of no interceptions all fucking year. It's another game they didn't have an interception. We only got six, so I can't talk. We only got six. Hey, six is better than zero, right? I mean, it's true. A lot better. All year, a lot better. So as far as the Saints game, man, you know what I like about that type of game is that you see these guys that are eliminated and they're still fighting.
00:08:01
Speaker
They're still playing good football. um and For Ward, it sucks because Ward actually has really no superstar star guy around him. you know He's doing what he can do as a rookie as you know with nobody out there. I mean, just um'm ah young I cannot name a player on their team with aside from him. Pollard did. I think it's the longest active streak we're having, 1,000-yard rushing. think this is four in a row, the
Team Performances & Strategies
00:08:25
Speaker
longest active right now. So he did over 1,000 this year.
00:08:28
Speaker
And shout out to Chris Alive and shout out Brees Hall for keeping me alive in fancy finals. Thank you. Keeping me alive. By the way, Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase, I prayed for you. And thank God you came too, baby. because Oh, I said this. I saw Jamar Chase, right? He scored that first touchdown. He went and did the sign of the cross. I was like, oh, thank you, Jesus. Slow your roll slow your roll march roll the roll. Slow your roll. Slow your roll. who Slow your roll. roll. It's a shame Art didn't draft him. He might be beating you right now.
00:09:01
Speaker
Yeah, right? Hey, he might be. We'll see. He's still got players tomorrow, so I got to watch out for Art the Clown. Yes, he does look like he could be an extra from the Terrifier. want to say one more thing that lamon Lamar brought up. The no interceptions thing.
00:09:18
Speaker
Now that I think about it, if you – just show all the NFL players with an interception. They all have more interceptions than the Jets. How crazy is that? And I hope it continues next week to end the season. I do too. Because that's insane. That's insane to think about.
00:09:31
Speaker
That's a stat that I don't think no other team will ever have. You know what I'm saying? Didn't the Lions have an interception that that one year? They probably had one. Yeah, they had to have, because remember a season where a team has never had an interception the whole season. That's that's just unheard of.
00:09:44
Speaker
up tu down next week Who do they play next week? Touchdown Bills. Touchdown Bills. Well, here comes the two that I talked about. They're down two. Knox just scored.
00:09:55
Speaker
Touchdown Bills. so No, they're down one. Is he down, though, Deion? What's the score? don't know. You're faster than me, Peach. You're faster than me. No, he's in. I think he's in. Hey, Chad, done one got now downs to ask who's favorite team. Jernie Mojo likes the Falcons. Shane Peacher likes the Redskins. Clubby Diaz, you can tell, likes the 49ers. And I am a lowly Raiders fan, hoping for the number one. Ooh, that's close.
00:10:19
Speaker
That camera is close. We are moving it into your game, buddy. Oh, God. We had some close ones on Christmas Day. All the games, I mean, they weren't close per se in terms of, but the outcome was close. thirty to twenty three your commanders got beat by the Cowboys. I mean, look, that was not that was a poor, poor showing, but only you can tell it best. What did you think?
00:10:46
Speaker
um I actually thought they played well at first. I mean, what do we expect with Josh Johnson to quarterback? I'm not expecting much. It just, it was a nice quick game, which I loved get it over with. We got one more game of this health season to, to end this thing.
00:10:59
Speaker
And we guaranteed ourselves a top seven pick. um So that's the lowest we can pick now. So, Hey, I can deal it with that, but this health season needs to end. And thank God we only have one more week until that happens. And as a follow-up, who would you like for your first-round pick if you had your choice?
00:11:17
Speaker
we need We need everything. So there's no really guy that I'm looking at right now, right? We need pass rush. We need a receiver. We need defense, defense, defense, like the entire defense. So we'll see. But like I said, we're going to be picking probably like sixth or seventh. So sh trade I don't know who's going to be there by the time we draft. So we'll see. No, i would I was just wondering if you had a favorite. I know you like to mock drafts. Well, usually not this early, but yeah.
00:11:42
Speaker
Yeah. Dirty Mojo, thoughts on this game? It sucks because it's your rival, Peach. You know what You want to go out no matter if you have a bad season or good you want to go out beating your rivals. And and the Cowboys are Washington Commanders' hated rivals.
00:11:55
Speaker
It's just another year. Did you guys beat them earlier this year? No, but i again, we had like I didn't have no expectations with Josh Johnson, our third-string quarterback, having to play. yeah And the thing that's done is our defense didn't play bad against the Dallas offense. I mean, we had six sacks. That's incredible. Like, Dak Prescott got sacked six times. so it is twenty but but you know But you know what? as As far as it goes with the fan versus fan, you know what I'm saying? that That's just a year-long...
00:12:19
Speaker
we swept you guys' bullshit that you have to listen to and da-da-da-da-da-da. So, yeah, I mean, it sucks to go out like that, man. You know, for the Washington Commanders, their season coming to an end, obviously, next week with all the injuries that they've had and everything like that. i You know, I would say what your questions you asked, Peach, maybe solidifying a legit offensive lineman to just help protect that star-studded quarterback that you have and then build off everything else and in the in the um free agency and stuff like that. But, yeah.
00:12:47
Speaker
Sucks, man, as you go out losing to your rivals, man. and But they just haven't had it this year. They've just been so injured. that they that You can't come back from all the injuries they've been through at all. Not at all. Not at all. Hey, Clubber D, I love how Peach is giving us a tour of his whole house. Because I'm trying to watch the end of this game, too. I'm kind of walking with it. That's what I got on the phone. It's six seconds left. Buffalo just called a timeout. They did not. They took the touchdown back. It is fourth and goal on, like, probably the, what, inches?
00:13:17
Speaker
half your half yard mark to get in. um If Pete goes outside and Redman doorbells it, like put look and i will go crazy, bro. If Pete goes outside, I'm going to start having so many flashbacks. We may not even finish this There's no Doritos out there. gross. Oh, no. There's no Doritos outside. Not so vicious. Here we go. Here we go. Josh Allen, push pushies in.
00:13:43
Speaker
Kyle, you're queer like 10 minutes quicker than me. They're still in the huddle. They're still in the huddle. Come on, YouTube to TV. Good grief. Look, they haven't hiked the ball yet.
00:13:53
Speaker
Go and make the bet. Make the bet on some sort of shit that they're going to score. They're going for two for the win. going for two for the win. All right, here go. You're going to know for me, so.
00:14:05
Speaker
So, Bernadine, do you have thoughts on the Cowboys, Redskins, before we get to this play? I mean, i was happy they kept pickings in check for fancy purposes. But um other than that, you know, Redskins, I'll say a good thing ah for the for the commanders is that Johnny Newton, they actually played him. He did well. cause That's it like a second and third round pick they had a year or two ago, Peach. yeah um You guys don't play a lot your young guys. Yeah, you guys don't play a lot your young guys. He had a great game. So, hopefully he could build off of that. But, you know, it's it's kind of like a throwaway game. It means something to the players. But, know, Yeah, i mean, yeah. they were both Outside looking in. Here we go, we go. Let us know.
00:14:39
Speaker
Oh, and the Eagles call timeout. ah so i mean He's still in the huddle. He's still calling to play for me. He's literally still calling to play. All right, well, let's look at the next game while we're about to get to that. We did have the Lions versus the Vikings. And look, the Lions were eliminated from playoff contention in this one, gentlemen. What a horrible way to go out losing to your rival who was starting Max Huff.
00:15:06
Speaker
Who the deuce? Brosmer. I don't know who the fuck that guy is. But they were starting him. Clubber D, we'll come right back to you. What are your thoughts on this game? First of all, Maxwell.
00:15:19
Speaker
Maxwell? You have Justin Jefferson maal on your team. Throw him the ball. Okay? People who have him in fantasy like to get those points.
00:15:30
Speaker
Here we go, guys. If you want to pass the bar play by play, let's go. what you want jomo Josh
00:15:38
Speaker
41 in motion. Here we go. Fades back the pass. like plate He was wide open. Why would you throw the ball? Dude, he was wide open. They should have thrown the ball. for Now he's breaking huddle for me.
00:15:53
Speaker
wild hike Watch how wide open 10 is. You got to make that pass. Oh, yeah, that's bad. Sell out for it, Shakir. Sell out for that.
00:16:06
Speaker
Shout out, Hope, K1K. Appreciate you tuning in. Looks like that's Japanese. We appreciate you all the way. still um All right. So what are our thoughts on this game, gentlemen? The Lions-Vikings. Any thoughts on the Vikings upsetting the Lions and taking them out of the playoffs?
00:16:23
Speaker
Jared Goff, was it four picks he had, four turnovers? He had a lot of picks. Gibbs had a turnover. Gibbs had a horrible game. This was a Lions year, this this game. um I think their window is...
00:16:34
Speaker
it's It's that window, that window seal just... What? oh Shield. think it's gone. That's it. Yeah, because that division is tough and the Bears are getting better. The Packers are getting better. And then I'll tell you, what salt in the wound, because that loss was a big reason the Chicago Bears win the NFC North.
00:16:52
Speaker
I mean... I mean, what's salt in the wound? Your former offensive coordinator leaves, takes a last place team in your same division and wins it.
00:17:03
Speaker
Unbelievable. Poor Lions fans. Back to poverty they go. Dirty
00:17:15
Speaker
gery mojo do you have thoughts I think the writing was on the wall with Detroit after last week. I don't think they were going to make the playoffs, even if they would won out, because it was just too much ahead of them for them to make the um the playoffs.
00:17:28
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? This is 100% on Dan Campbell and the coaching staff. They just were just outplayed the last four or five weeks. I think they went one and four. ah i mean, that's just a terrible outing to go the last ah the last a you know quarter of the season.
00:17:45
Speaker
um Not to mention, you know, he's calling offensive plays and you only put up 10 points against against the the the the Minnesota Vikings. The Minnesota Vikings are not a good team. im So, I mean, you earlier in the season which we talked about it earlier in the season. We talked about the defense. The defense is terrible. um from From last year to this year, they've made no changes. Dan Campbell has to figure out what he wants to be. Does he want to be the offensive coordinator? Does he want to get somebody in there that can call the offensive plays for him?
00:18:11
Speaker
And then he has to change that defense up because the defensive coordinator, whoever's their coordinator, is not doing a good job there in Detroit. I still believe with ah with with this team, I still believe that they can be a team next year that can compete in a very competitive division.
00:18:26
Speaker
I mean, even with it, you know, if they win next week. still got the players. Right. Right. And, then you know, next week they get a win. They'll have nine wins. So, I mean, it's – I think everybody in that division will be a a winning team. right Well, no. the Yeah, well, the Vikings – don't know who the Vikings play next week. But, I mean, everybody is going to be at least above eight wins in that division. Wow. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. It is a competitive division. He can he can turn it around you know for them to again next year.
00:18:52
Speaker
You guys have been talking about Jared Goff the whole season, and I think I'm on board with you guys. But it's one of those ones, do you take this team and bring in a rookie? Or do you have to go out there and find a veteran that can probably win it for you? But I don't think it's Jared Goff that can do it. But I wouldn't put any money in on on them these guys drafting a quarterback. And then however their season goes next year, all us start this guy. They got to figure that part of their season out, too. So quarterback is something they got to figure out. Defense is something they got to figure out. An offense coordinator. ah Dan Campbell has a lot of work to do this offseason.
00:19:24
Speaker
And other people got other things to figure out, especially bots and trolls in the comments. We will see you on the other side. Get the spook out, you mofo. Ain't nobody got time for you. Get out of here. We ain't showing your comment. Anyways. Yeah, no, I agree.
00:19:42
Speaker
i think that I think that the Lions are a team still. They got the players. They got the pieces. It was a bad year. Imagine had they have kept Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn one more year. They would have won the Super Bowl.
00:19:55
Speaker
might be able to get Aaron Glenn back next year as we talked about earlier. Stupid. Stupid. Maybe. That's possible. Let's move it into that night game. The Broncos won the AFC West. Now, they didn't win it until the Chargers lost officially, but the Broncos are your AFC West division winners. Hey, Hot Take Jake, shout out to you, brother, if you're watching. Hey, I mean, congrats. I don't like it. I hate it. But you know what? That's something big, that the Chiefs are finally not on top anymore. Peach, we're starting with you on this one. What are your thoughts?
00:20:30
Speaker
slow slow game for the the start for the Broncos there Bo Nix always seems to do this and that's why I don't believe in him but he makes the clutch plays at the end of games kind of it's kind of strange but yeah he's pretty clutch but for three-fourths of the game he's nowhere to be found and even against as you said like a bad Chiefs team that has nothing to play for and is playing their third string quarterback and They should have blew them out earlier, in my opinion. But, hey, they got the job done. They won the division, that's all that matters. And they'll be playing in the playoffs in two weeks.
00:21:03
Speaker
They won the division, and they will be in, and the Chargers will be in. The Chiefs and the Raiders will be out. Clubber D, what are your thoughts on this? Well, I agree with you, Peach, but I will say this. and Unless Chris Jones – Not strapped up and ready to play.
00:21:18
Speaker
That defense is always going on point.
Key Players & Playoff Prospects
00:21:20
Speaker
He's he's he's he's all he no he's the most unblockable person in the league. However, he did go off sides and kind of give them the game. But, you know, I i knew the Chiefs defense would show up, but the offense was going to be a question mark. This probably Kelsey's last game um at home.
00:21:35
Speaker
ah yeah I don't know if it's changing of the guard in in in the West, but it's looking toward changing of the guard in the West. I mean, i would love to think so, Clever D, as a Raider fan. But unfortunately, I think if Mahomes comes back healthy next year, what's to say that if they don't beef up their offensive line, which is really a real big sticking point for them. I mean, you've got Chris Jones on the defensive line. So if you can build that offensive lineup and get protection in there from all those retired linemen had the past couple years, maybe you can extend Patrick Mahomes a few more years. Because again, you've paid this man $500 million, dollars excuse me, Over what, 14 years it was, I believe? Yeah, but that safety net of Kelsey might not be there.
00:22:20
Speaker
Sure. So who's going to step up for that? that's That would be the only question for me. Yep, I agree. All right, cool. Let's move it on. let's see what we got coming up next. a Houston versus the Chargers. We talked about this just now. The Chargers losing to Houston, which made sure that Houston took the number five spot in the playoffs. And honestly, gentlemen, I don't know how many teams want to see Houston's defense in the playoffs.
00:22:48
Speaker
ah Let's start with whoever wants to start with this one. Anybody got thoughts on Houston and Chargers? ah So it was a big win for Houston. I think the Chargers realized that, hey, look, they weren't going to win the division out there. So it's kind of like a slower like noise or but pace of play. Yeah, but, you know, it's going to be a very interesting um a couple teams that are going to be the wild card teams. You know you have a hot Houston team.
00:23:16
Speaker
You have a really good Buffalo Bills team, and you have a really good sandy a Los Angeles Chargers team. And you know the way i look at it, you know as far as Denver, I didn't get to talk about Denver the last segment, but ah Denver would have to play one of those three teams. And let's put it this list this look at it like this.
00:23:32
Speaker
They lost to the Chargers once. They have to play the Chargers again next week, right? I think that game against Houston was a close one, like 15 to 16, right?
00:23:43
Speaker
right And Buffalo's a good team. I'm not really – I don't want to take anything away from Denver because they've had a fantastic season. You know, got right now – No, yeah. I mean, they played above their heads, right? Yeah.
00:23:57
Speaker
13-3, but if you go back, and and Omar, i'm pretty sure you can do the numbers for me and and come back to it. their Their last eight games, I think they scored 31 times, and the rest of the sports are like 24. Maybe, I think a couple times, they've only scored in the team. They play down to their opponent.
00:24:12
Speaker
Yeah, their offense isn't really explosive. ah Their de defense is fantastic. But like I said, the three teams that they probably can play is Houston, the Bills, and um Houston, the Bills, and the Chargers, all three teams that are very capable of beating them. So, yes, I don't want to take away from the from Houston and and this win that they had ah last night against the Chargers because I think the Chargers are a good team. And, you know, i had picked the Chargers to win that division.
00:24:37
Speaker
um But they're really hot along with the Jaguars. It's going to be a fun um um of first first round of the playoffs that I like to see. And I don't think there's i don't think there's any mismatch. that I really do believe that all the games are going to be ones that people are really going to have to look in and say, any team can win these games. So I like i like the level of, like, it's very even across the board in the AFC in that first round of the playoffs.
00:25:04
Speaker
I looked it up. Just to let you know, in Denver's last eight games, they were averaging 2.5 touchdowns a game. So that's pretty good when you – I mean, it's not great, but it's good for what – It's what you need for that defense. 20 points, 19 points a game. That's what you need for that defense.
00:25:21
Speaker
That defense, if they can hold other teams to 14 points a game, that's all you need. I mean, the Giants should have beat them. And I was at home. That was in Denver. They should have. The Jackson. I don't trust Broncos. Don't get me wrong. I do not. No, we're all on the same page. We're all on same page on that. It's just that, you know, like we said about Bo Nix, Bo Nix is good.
00:25:43
Speaker
He steps up when needed to, but he's not going to wow you all the time. I swear on everything. It's play action roll to the right. is That is what they do every other play, but nobody can stop it. So.
00:25:54
Speaker
Hey, shut up, Papi Chugniel. Hey, brother, you're not going to get anything from here. Who believes in coordinating outfits with your women? Me and Kobe obviously do not. Peach agrees with us. Lamar, do you match with your wife on Christmas? No, and I have four kids. i am not matching them at all. No.
00:26:14
Speaker
Boo! Look, if you want i don't care. If you want to do that, if you want to be double mid twins, do that. If it's fun to you, do it. Don't worry about what everyone thinks, but there's not a community of people that hate on it. I don't care either way. But when you match the dog, we've got a problem. And he was matching the dog in that Instagram video. Yeah, that's wild. More power to do
Lighthearted Debates & Predictions
00:26:34
Speaker
you. like Have fun. I don't care. My dog ain't got no clothes. My dog ain't never got no clothes from me. Dogs should not wear clothes. No, not at all.
00:26:44
Speaker
No, no. I mean, I don't. The white people say, oh, they're cold. Man, they have fur coats. Like, shut up. They're not going to be cold. Well, good thing that three of us have no, well, Peach has Peach is going put us in a nursing home. But thankfully, none of us have kids other than, you know, put them in a nursing home. Yeah, like this. ah bronson Bronson does well in the in the summer, fall, winter, spring, without a tight-ass turtleneck. So, he'll be all be all right.
00:27:15
Speaker
All right, gentlemen, let's move it on. Let's get back in some of these games here. So we went through those. Green Bay, Baltimore. Baltimore kept their playoff hopes, albeit slim, alive. 18% in their playoff hopes right now.
00:27:32
Speaker
It ain't slim anymore, my friends. It ain't slim anymore. It's a 50-50 shot, ain't it? Talk to me. Talk to me. Big win for them, and then they needed the upset, which they got today. We'll talk about that later, I'm sure.
00:27:44
Speaker
um But, man, i'm sorry, Brandon. I hope Baltimore wins because it's setting up for a Baltimore-Buffalo first-round matchup, guys. And who would have thought that?
00:27:55
Speaker
I mean, we need that. Because i' um I'm sorry, Pittsburgh is so boring to watch right now. Oh, my God. no game to pull my eyes out I need Buffalo and Baltimore more than i need Buffalo and Pittsburgh. I'm sorry. but Let's bring on the Ravens.
00:28:11
Speaker
That game was so bad, dude. I was watching. i was like 10 to 6 for like two quarters. i talked to i talked to clutch I talked to Clutch, and he was like, he said that their whole game plan was to stop Garrett from getting that sack. They were either chipping him or having a tight end or having running back chipping him. That's all they were doing. He was like, they didn't throw towards the middle towards the end of the game. And Rodgers would just throw it away. Rodgers would just throw it away just to avoid the sack. like He didn't even care if it was an intentional ground.
00:28:40
Speaker
That really worked. It really was. They were scared of Myles Garrett. He was the plague. So... But if you're going to be scared of Miles Garrett and you're only going to score six points versus a Cleveland Browns team that, yes, has one of the best defense in the league, but if you're going to be a playoff team and Aaron Rodgers is going to be your quarterback, you've got score way more points than that. That is completely unacceptable.
00:29:03
Speaker
They do not look like a playoff team, and they're going to be one and fucking done. And you know – Oh, go ahead. like No, go ahead. i'll Talk about Derrick Henry last last night also, guys. for Hopefully you didn't have to play against him in fantasy. If you did, I'm sorry for you. 200 yards, four touchdowns. Holy moly. He was on five. He was mad about that fumble last week, guys. He was mad about being set up at last drive.
00:29:27
Speaker
He also is stupid. The only thing that the Steelers got going for themselves next week is that that game is in Pittsburgh. They don't look good. And, you know, just like I asked you guys, Tomlin's coaching for his – he's basically coaching for his position to stay. But he has a winning record again for the 19th season in a row or some shit. That saves him, Gordy. That saves him.
00:29:52
Speaker
Just because you're one of both 500 doesn't mean, like, I get what you're saying, Omo. I 100% get what you're saying. I'm with you. But for me personally, if I was Stiller fan, I'm not happy with just being over 500 or making the playoffs and losing the first round. What's that to with first round? Well, like, Six, seven years? Yeah, when's last time they won a playoff game? That's right. That's the big question right there. Like, come on, man. Like, that stuff that's cool. We have to look at what we just talked about on the last part is that who are the three wildcard teams? They're going to have play one of those wildcard teams, and they're just not – they can't match up against those guys. And, you know – No, they can't. They won't. And, you know, with this, it's like, yeah, Tomlin, it's time for a change of scenery. And, you know, not the bad way.
00:30:36
Speaker
Where would he go, though? Where would he go? He can go anywhere. He can go to the Jets. The Jets are going to get rid of Glenn. You can go to New York. You can go Atlanta. You can go to New York Giants.
00:30:51
Speaker
But but yeah could i think we have to take into account the fact that the Steelers rarely get rid of coaches. They've had three coaches. You're You're right. But, you know, at the at same time, listen, it's a change of scenery. I don't think yeah i think it would almost be like when the Colts let go of Manning.
00:31:13
Speaker
You know, they come in, they kind of cry it out, like, hey, guys, look, you know, this is all love, but we got to go in another direction. We've had you for 20 years, Bob. We also knew they were getting Andrew Luck, which turned out to be shit. Yeah, yeah, but I mean, but a player compared to a coach. I got you. You know what I'm saying? It's almost like what with Philly. Philly was always in the playoffs. They were in the NFC Championship three years in a row. At some point, they was like, listen, Andy, we just got to go a different direction. And it could upstart both of them. He goes somewhere with a fresh start. They bring in a new coach with a new fresh type of style of play, and it could be a blossom for both of them. But yes, anything short of the AFC Championship and even the Super Bowl, I think Tomlin's out of there. But think Tomlin's of there. I think that Lamar Jackson comes back from the injury to bring his team that was way down in the dirt back to the playoffs. And just like Pete said, has that game against who? The Buffalo Bills. And what did you say? If Allen doesn't get it and he's going to go against who?
00:32:13
Speaker
His fucking playoff nemesis, Lamar Jackson. And with fucking Mahomes out of there, he just can't seem to get away from these motherfuckers. And then guess what's going to happen, Peach?
00:32:24
Speaker
The Buffalo Bills will lose. And then they're going fire their coach along with him. He didn't even sit his black ass down. O.R. brought up a great point here. The Steelers, never we've never seen, we are 43 years old and and we've never seen the Steelers ever fire a coach.
00:32:41
Speaker
They've always retired. Think about that. Yeah. if This might be the first time we've ever in our lifetime seen a Steelers coach fight. Dude, I wish. i am I pray to the gods that the Raiders would ever have continuity of that.
00:32:57
Speaker
they will fire him They will not fire him, Lopis. step down. And there'll be some sort of mutual, hey, let's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we'll really know. don't care. A gentleman's fire. The gentleman's a gentleman's fire, right? Shake my hand. I got two things. I got two things about this game. Two things. One, we can't name nobody from the Mike Tomlin coaching tree as long as he's been coaching. That's one thing.
00:33:20
Speaker
Second thing, if Shador, because we're all talking about Mike Tomlin right now, but no one's talking about Shador actually winning this game. Not that he wowed anybody. If Shador would have had the stats of Dart last week, what do you think all the ah the haters would have said?
00:33:38
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? All the swallowers are going crazy right now. All the prime sectioners are going. They're doing backflips right now in 21 jerseys in Atlanta and Niners and Cowboys. They put them all together. And the Ravens 37, they put all the jerseys on. They're doing backflips in their bedroom right now over what Shadour did.
00:33:53
Speaker
But, you know, isn't it funny how the media works like that? Yeah, did it always happens. I thought about this when you were talking about Shadour. Shadour Sanders going to be their starting quarterback, Nick. He should be. He should be. He should be.
00:34:05
Speaker
And I'm going to say this. The only thing about Shadour is – How can your dad be primetime Deion Sanders and you not have any kind of speed? I don't get it. don't get it. Look at Deion Jr. It's like when Jeffrey Jordan had no hops. That's what happened. It makes no sense.
00:34:21
Speaker
Well, hey, we're moving into this. That would have been legendary to get that sack against Rodgers. Hey, look, Miles Garrett is one sack, half a sack. He's at 22. He's half a sack. But Omar, he didn't do it in 16 games, man. He didn't do it in 16 games. I was cheering for him to get it in the last two weeks.
00:34:43
Speaker
If he gets it next week, I'll give him a round of applause, but he did it in 17 weeks. Wait a second. Michael Strahan was a fraudulent sack of Rodgers. It was. i fact It was. I agree, but it was a 16 games, though. history That's true. What would be more fraudulent?
00:35:02
Speaker
The fraudulent sack or getting the sack record in an extra game? I would like to get in an extra game. Well, technically, since he's part of this era of football, you know, he didn't he didn't make the rules.
00:35:17
Speaker
No, yeah, you're right about that, Yale. We'll see what happens. I think he's going to get it. Our brother Clutch B, Texans and Chargers have to lose next week in order for the Bills to play the five seed. Stupid. Did he type all that just to get back at you? You're an asshole, Brandon. Bills are six and seven right now. The winner of next week will be the four seed.
00:35:38
Speaker
i'm sure to force you went to play the fox seat right so I'm so mad at you as well, Clever D. No, for all, though, we're pretty much tightened up, gentlemen. And what are our playoff seedings at this point? You know, there's not much to go on except the Buccaneers and Panthers.
00:35:58
Speaker
have one last game to decide the NFC South. Let's look at these ah Jaguars versus Colts. Jaguars moved to 12-4 with a 23-17 victory over the Colts. Colts, I mean, wow, what a fold of a season. I mean, to go from that high to being undefeated for all those weeks and just – Oh, all those injuries is just fucking horrendous. Peach, let's start with you. What you got on there?
00:36:24
Speaker
Horrible, horrible for them. i still, I'm going to say it. I've been saying it for weeks. I don't know if I can ever believe in the Jacksonville Jaguars until I actually see it. Like, they played a sloppy game today and they got the win. And a win is a win.
00:36:38
Speaker
But it was ugly. And like Lamar said, they're going to have to play a tough team in round one. It's going to be tough. And I just don't believe in them. And like i said, they're going have to prove it. They're going to prove it to me, team, 100%. If they do it, i'll give I'll give them their flowers. But until then, I don't care about a regular season for them.
00:36:55
Speaker
No, I completely agree. Clubber D, what are your thoughts? Well, when I was looking at the game, ah just being selfish, fancy purposes, I wanted a strange to do his thing. We'll get a little strange for some change. Who knows? wait i Hey, wait a minute. i When I see these glimpses of Trevor Lawrence, I'm like, is this Clemson Trevor Lawrence or is this Jackson? He shows it sometimes. Yes, right? Like when they're in the red zone and he's he makes a decision, am I'm running the ball.
00:37:21
Speaker
It's like concise. Boom, boom. But it's like when he's 40 to 50 yards from a touchdown, it's loted out and It gets sacked, you know? So I'm not sure what Trevor Lawrence we're getting right now. what I like this version.
00:37:34
Speaker
I do like this version we're getting. And how how ah like Washington stepped up. Brian Thomas has been MIA, pretty much. He was injured for most of the most yeah but He's he's been jesus dropping. He's easy know was not the same as he had in his rookie season. So if he steps up and starts doing his thing, you know they they could be somebody be like, oh, you know They actually...
00:37:55
Speaker
but could go You know we really haven't talked about? And and this one of the reasons is it's me because I kind of like shit on them all the time. But maybe Liam Cohen needs to be the coach of the year. It's not bad. We all clown over the Duvall. He talks shit too. small Not bad for a small market team. He said that last week.
00:38:15
Speaker
And I saw today, here's a here's ah what could be a professor stat of the day. He's the first ever first-time coach to win 12-plus games. Woo! Really? Wow. Which Ben Johnson could do tonight or next week too. But he did it first. okay a No, that's a great stat. Wow. That's a tremendous stat. Thank you for that. um I agree. I think the Jaguars are just, you know what? We can't trust them yet. they They have not shown it. They're like the Denver Broncos. They're like the fucking Green Bay Packers up and down. You know, I'm not going to do the hand movement because I don't need these kids to be out of here naming numbers. But what I do know is that they're a roller coaster and I don't trust the Jags to win. Oh, the hurler.
00:38:58
Speaker
in the playoffs. Hey, kind know you know you know what's crazy about this? You know what's crazy about this, man? for the for I want to talk on and touch on the Indianapolis Colts.
00:39:12
Speaker
This is clearly the tale of two seasons. Two halves the season, right? If you look at it, their last eight games, they're 1-7, and the only win that they had was that comeback overtime win against Atlanta in Germany, right?
00:39:24
Speaker
When they won that game, I think the week before they lost to the Steelers and then they've gone on a seven game losing streak or whatever. um When they won that game in Atlanta, they went eight and two. Do you know that they were a 99% chance to make the playoffs?
00:39:39
Speaker
99. They had no turnovers, too. They had, like, ah the first eight or nine games. I mean, we were talking about them as the best team in the league. We were talking about the most best league. Right. And Jonathan Taylor was averaging three touchdowns a fucking game. Omar won his MVP. Omar won his MVP. I still do. I'm not knocking it. Yeah. I mean, just think of the seasons, guys. I mean, you know...
00:40:03
Speaker
I mean, it's just it's terrible for them. I don't believe them losing a quarterback with a torn rupture the Achilles tent would have sent it done anything anything for them. Because if you want to go back and look at the schedule, we can go back and say, ah, they kind of beat a lot of cupcakes.
00:40:16
Speaker
And now here here here we are. But they did, you know, I think they had lost to the Rams, but then they had did they did beat the Chargers. and you know saying? So it was one of those who we are. I think the thing was, we didn't need to be anything.
00:40:28
Speaker
what we yeah Exactly. We didn't expect them to be what they were. And a lot of talk was, is Daniel Jones going to turn back into the punt? Right. Because Michael Phoenix last year sucked ass at the end the year. Right. Right. So, i mean but I mean, two halves, man. Two halves of a season where you're 8-2 and now you're 8-8 and you're out of the playoffs.
00:40:48
Speaker
Unreal. That was a bad rollercoaster season, right? Super high. super Then big time low. and I heard Omar sat down on the shockwave. That's all I heard. He sat on the shockwave. Wow. Wow. did you see him down on the shockwave?
00:41:07
Speaker
i heard i heard Omar rode days of thunder with no seatbelt. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. oh golden well go No hands with the berserker. No hands. Fun fact, the shockwave was the first roller coaster I ever rode. I rode with dad. recipe Was that same day you got lost in Yogi's Cave?
00:41:30
Speaker
Oh, shit. I lost a dollar in a time shaft, man. is slowly ra mobile money i if I absolutely love Yogi's Cave. Every time I go to King's Dominion, I'm a walk that motherfucker and just... Is he still there?
00:41:44
Speaker
I don't think so. Omar lost his glasses on the berserker. What are you talking about? No, I got stuck on it upside down. remember that. Hell no. All right, let's move it into these last couple games of the weekend. These were some important ones, though.
00:42:01
Speaker
Seahawks beating the Panthers 27 to 10. It's important because the Seahawks are 13 and three, gentlemen. Holy shit.
00:42:12
Speaker
We saw them steal Sam Darnold. Now, don't get me wrong. I think every person on this panel is going to agree with me. Sam Darnold is going to turn into a pumpkin in the playoffs.
00:42:22
Speaker
Yes, he has been. Wait. He's been trending towards that. and three This is your division, Clubber Yeah, he's well, same dog has been trending towards that pumpkin. The last few games is just that I forgot who they played last. Was it the Rams Rams? Stop blitzing up the middle.
00:42:38
Speaker
They could have stopped him. He wasn't doing diddly squat. ah Jim Moore, you know, he wasn't doing anything and they stopped doing that blitzing up the middle and he came out of the victory they came back and that come back win last week. This game. It was a very close defensive game until probably the second half. I want to say maybe that hit mid through the third quarter when Kenneth Washington got that touchdown. But this was a very tight game. The Panthers played well at home. They're very good home team. And this is a West Coast team coming to the East Coast. But, you know, towards end the end game, once they scored that first time, it started getting out of hand and they took over the game. But if the Niners win tonight, NFL loves parity.
00:43:17
Speaker
We got the Seahawks next week. We beat them in the first game of season. We in the last game the season at home. The Niners, if we win tonight and win tomorrow, we'll get the first, you know, we'll be number one seeded at NFC. And also, the Super Bowl's in Santa Clara, so no more road games.
00:43:32
Speaker
So that's incentive for us to win. But also, it's a big game to next week if we actually win tonight. I love that, Clubber D, because that's what I was going to. And I wish...
00:43:45
Speaker
Kenneth Walker would have scored that touchdown. It was Zach Charbonnet. Yeah, it was Charbonnet. they call it back then? I know one got called back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One got called back. Believe me, I started Walker. So I was hoping. I was hoping you were right, but it was not. Charbonnet stole it. But you're completely correct about that.
00:44:03
Speaker
If the 49ers get number one seed, they will play home games through the Super bowl It's fucking crazy. The home game is in the Super Bowl.
00:44:18
Speaker
That's wild. Anybody got thoughts on the Buccaneers losing? This is sad. got one on the Panthers, too, man, because the Panthers win this game. Sure, ahead. Yeah. And they played the game. I like what the NFL did. The NFL played these two teams together at the same time, meaning they played the Panthers and Tampa Bay at the same time. They didn't have one playing earlier than the other one for the outcome of the game to determine how they played. Had the Panthers won this game, they won the division because they would have had better –
00:44:52
Speaker
they would have had a better um NFC South ah record against them, next week wouldn't mattered. But like we said, we do like the parody of this where now you're going to face this team for the chance to be the NFC champion, NFC South champion, and to go to the playoffs. Loser goes home and he's sitting on the couch with the rest of us. So, I mean, that's a huge one ah for you guys. um ah Dion with the 49ers, it's a big loss that went around in the NFC North because the, the, ah the bears have locked it up. Right. I don't know. Maybe they still can lock up the the first round by. So that would cause them to still come out there and play. the I don't know if they, I know they can get the number one seat overall.
00:45:31
Speaker
What's the wait bears record? They have 11 wins. have everyone len Okay. So they can't get the first round by. I think they can. They need help. They need help. They would need us to lose them, obviously, tonight, and then us to beat the Seahawks next week.
00:45:48
Speaker
So that's a possibility. So basically they have a – so they're not going to sit their starters. They're out there. Oh, they're going to play. They're going to play, yeah. They're going to play. They better shoot. I got Swift today. He better go. Yeah, well, I mean, I was thinking more so of like, we don't really have to focus so much on – because, you know, we're in the playoffs whatever. But it's going to be a fantastic weekend.
00:46:11
Speaker
was it 17, 18? It's going to be a fantastic week next week. I think we could probably skip out on a lot of the games and just talk about these three games that are going to be huge. And I am going for the whole fact of you guys beating them tonight so that it makes it so that that game against the Seahawks is for the NFC West, NFC South, and then also the...
00:46:32
Speaker
which is the last one, the AFC North. But my my thing is, this is what my thing is with the NFL this year. I mean, it's been a fantastic season. I love how it's been coming down to the end of the end of the road right here.
00:46:44
Speaker
I do believe, though, as we talk right now, I think as far as coaching, as far as um experience, I think the Rams are the, in my opinion,
00:46:57
Speaker
the favorite to win the NFC. The NFC is a lot of good teams, but I think the Rams are the best team. I think I told, I've said this. I think the 49ers are the most consistent team, ah but their defense scares me. They can't get after the quarterback. We're just, we're playing with scraps right now and and i think that when they talk about coach of the year i think kyle shannon gets snubbed a lot for coach of the year and brock purdy missed like six like what's it mac jones he missed brock purdy missed eight games kiddo missed six games he's missing tonight's that's me seven games uh bosa warner out out you know what i'm saying so we've we've lost a lot of our heavy hitters and we're still doing well still doing right riy par ricky parcell uh parcel he's
00:47:36
Speaker
Barely played this year. you know what saying? Our number one receiver. ah So it's like we've nothing but injuries. It's like my fantasy team. Nothing but injuries. But we're still where we are. And Shanahan doesn't get the credit. He deserves it. I mean, no. That's not facts, though. the The Niners have been injured.
00:47:51
Speaker
year after year after year and consistently how she one of these mushrooms, and eat one these mushrooms, that's what they need. um you know When the Shandahans were here, we had injury issues too. So maybe it's their, their staff. and Well, not to be weird about it. It's the coaching, it's the training staff. And also they train their training kit where they, where they practice at is around these ah antennas or something like that, where they say there's a study saying if you're near these antennas is high, lettro I forgot the name, but it's, electromagnetic like yeah they're they're saying there's a study saying that it's your high uh chance of getting injured or whatever soft tissue injuries by by being uh affected by these uh antennas and that's actually it's a real thing but i got i'll do some my due diligence on that one but it's actually true one of reporters said that no i believe you i believe there's like some electromagnetic field or something like that like i mean honestly look
00:48:46
Speaker
There's a reason that the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl ruined millions of lives. It's because that shit is not to be fucked with. And you can't just be playing around energy. Like, imagine we just went up you know, we're across from Clubber D's house where they got the basketball court and then they got to like the like. Oh, it's right there. Yeah.
00:49:06
Speaker
Like um I lost my hair. It's like getting caught up in that shit all the time. I lost my hair. Homer Simpson works a mile away from him right there. Three-eyed fish swimming through the Potomac. All right, gentlemen, I'm going to eat my crow. Before you do that, let's bring up something we haven't talked about yet. Yes, please. Go ahead. The dang Panthers or Bucs are going to get a home playoff game and play somebody probably has three more wins than them. Stop it.
00:49:35
Speaker
stop man needs to The NFL needs to change that. they need only we can say wow in The that. We can say the same thing about the Steelers and the Ravens. Hey, Peach, the Steelers and the Ravens are in the same situation. Yeah, you're right. No, I agree with you, Peach.
00:49:52
Speaker
That's crazy. We need to fix the seating. There's no reason they should be hosting whole All the way they do that, they say just one big group on this side, one group on that side. It's the only way we can do that. Exactly. they're not going to do all that.
00:50:04
Speaker
No, I think it's – I mean, it's not like this all the time, and and most of the time there are the teams that – But it is because your division sucks every fucking year. It does. It happens every year. Whoa, whoa, whoa. what Wait a second.
00:50:18
Speaker
Wait a second. The reason that the Chiefs have won so many fucking Super Bowls is because your division is dog shit, and they play you guys six times a fucking year. Not anymore, baby. That's why. Not anymore. Hey, come on. Same thing with Tom Brown in the Patriots back then. Right, right. Same thing with Tom Brady. They played the fucking Bills, the Jets, and the fucking Dolphins, who had a combined six wins all season every fucking year. Hey, man, we hosted a playoff game at seven wins. We hosted a playoff game against the Bucs with seven wins. So I know how it is. We also tracked one year in our division. Same way.
00:50:54
Speaker
No, you guys, this is a division for reason, and you're the division champion. I mean, I – Love or hate it, hey, fuck it. Who cares? I'm not going to be rude, but can I just say the Niner game because I'm about to get off?
00:51:07
Speaker
Yep. You're good. What's your pick for tonight's game? My pick tonight will be, I feel like They're going to be similar to the Colts game where their offense going look good the first two quarters. um i'm I'm assuming there will be a Brock pick one or two times because the Bears do take away the most in in the NFL right now. And then the Brock haters are like, oh, my God, i get him out of the game. Eat a dick. So I'm going to say Williams will look good for the first half of this game.
00:51:36
Speaker
And then Robert Sala will kind of tighten up the screws in the third quarter and the Niners take over. I got the Niners. um I'm going to go 24 to 17. All right. That's the normal because Caleb Williams usually stinks the first half and he comes alive in the second half.
00:51:54
Speaker
So that would be interesting. um recording man we We adjust. I'm actually going to pick the bears tonight. They can win. Yeah. I don't know why. i just think you guys aren't gonna score that much and the bears going to keep it close and they're going to do their fourth quarter thing.
00:52:07
Speaker
They're going to win at the last second and no kettle is huge. That is humongous. so If it was in Chicago, i would say so, but it's in San Francisco. San Francisco has been hot. San Francisco's injuries are healing. We still can't trust Chicago. I guess San Francisco in this one so they can lock up the number one seed the conference, Dirty Mojo.
00:52:31
Speaker
No, I agree with Peach. Sorry, Dion. i do i do think that like I do think that the 49ers are a consistent offense. I just i just think that the the Bears are hot and they're riding this high. I think they're gonna their the defense is better than the 49ers' defense. And the same thing, i think I think it will be something, I guess, a lower scoring game, though. But I think that the Bears will – but We'll be ahead fast.
00:52:57
Speaker
So, you know, 23 to 17, but I think it'll be like 23 to seven in the fourth quarter. And then they'll score a couple points, you know, couple, you know, they'll score a little bit so they can get it to 23, 17. Super quick before we get you.
00:53:09
Speaker
Good. Finish up. I think it's the Bears. Super quick, Dion, before we get you out of here, Rams-Falcons tomorrow night. I thought you had you have pause, so I thought you were done, Lamar. Rams versus Falcons tomorrow night in Atlanta.
00:53:22
Speaker
Rams are, as Peach mentioned, six and a half favorite. Who you got? Well, ah for this game, I would love a shootout. I would like Stafford and Kirk Cousins to ah show the world who they are, especially Kirk Cousins any purposes. I feel like, Drake London, please play. I need you to. um i I like this game because the Falcons have not given up yet. The Falcons are still showing the world that they're still an NFL team and we haven't folded. And also, the Raider Rahim is coaching for his job. And
00:53:54
Speaker
The main thing, the underlining whole, I guess, ah story for this game is the Falcons don't want to lose and give them a better draft pick. They want to win and get and have a better record. So their first round draft pick that they traded for them, who who they that was a great trade because Pierce is killing it right now, Pierce Jr. They want to win and say, hey, you know what? you Okay, you got a first round, but you're not in the top 10. Get from 11 through 20.
00:54:19
Speaker
All right? So how many wins y'all got so far this year, ah Lamar? Six. Six. Let's go for seven. Okay. Like the kids say. And good point on James Pierce.
00:54:30
Speaker
Amazing rookie season. seventy He's having a good... Hey, uh... Dion is absolutely right that the that the Rams are fighting to to beat the Atlanta Falcons, not only did to shore up their but their position in the playoffs and and their dominance, um but also to get that better pick in the first round of the NFL draft.
00:54:48
Speaker
I will say this. ah The Atlanta Falcons actually, aside from that Steelers game i'm not that's those game i'm hard to steal those game, the Falcons actually play against good teams really well. They actually compete against them. They get outcoached and they end up losing somehow, some way or another and at the end of the game.
00:55:03
Speaker
um I still, in in my opinion, though, I think the Rams are too strong of a team for us. Rams are so strong. I know that. I know that ah that i think the Rams are a better team than Seahawks, to be honest.
00:55:15
Speaker
Yeah, I do, too. I'm here. They're the best to me. Yeah, I think they're the best team in the NFC. um I said that a while ago. I was thinking about this during the week. I want to propose this to you, gentlemen.
00:55:26
Speaker
I believe that the three teams in the NFC West are better than the three top teams in the AFC. Yeah. The NFC as a whole is better than the NFC this year. Yeah, i agree. Because you've got Buffalo, Denver, and and and the and and, like, Houston. or or Like, no, the NFC West is better than them altogether.
00:55:48
Speaker
And then the Eagles are better than them, too. So, I mean, there's that. Eagles, too. Eagles, yeah. Hold on. Let me get my score real quick. Go ahead. Let me get score. I got the Rams winning in this game thirty to twenty four I think Atlanta will put points up against them, but Rams are too strong.
00:56:04
Speaker
beach Yeah, I think the the Rams roll. Not having Devontae Adams will be huge, but they need this to stay alive for that number one seed. That's more important than anything that Elena has to play for. And you should hope they lose anyway for radio.
00:56:18
Speaker
yeah You need them to lose. to Get him out of there. Wait, but do we think – I think radio already saved his job, to be honest. I don't think so. I think the writing's going walk for him too. Maybe, but an ass-kicking to end your season, the game you remember leaving out on – That's true. Can change monday night And what I was going to say is I really think the NFC is top heavy with three teams. It's the Rams. It's the San Francisco 49ers. It's the Eagles. One of the three teams will be representing the NFC. seahawks The Seahawks are fake. They got Darnold. It ain't going happen. It ain't going to happen. though One of those three teams will be winning the NFC.
00:56:53
Speaker
Pumpkin mode for Darnold. Gonna happen again. right. Hey, we really appreciate it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me get my Atlanta score. I think I'm gonna go with the, <unk> i'll i think it's gonna be a shootout.
00:57:06
Speaker
I'm gonna say 34 to 21 Atlanta. What? Yeah. B. John is gonna go off.
00:57:18
Speaker
These all going to go off. Hey, I think Kyle Pitts have a good game too. Kyle Pitts is going go off. Drake London won't. I'll go chart four twenty one the other way. Rams victory. Rams really need this. I think they need it more for pride than anything. Even if they weren't able to get the number one seed, I think they would just be playing because they've had a really up and down season.
00:57:40
Speaker
Huka Nakua needs to get healthy. Devontae Adams, hopefully they get him back for the playoffs. I don't know how bad his hamstring is. But it looked really bad when he went down. That game, it didn't come back. Luke is a monster, man.
00:57:53
Speaker
Yeah, he know he's a beast. Man, that's lay I wish the Raiders wouldn't have raced him or Randy Moss, but that's either here nor or there. We are here, and we are there. i am here with my brothers after Christmas, before New Year's. So before we get to New Year's, my brother, we will not see each other again before then. Let's go around the horn and get everybody's thoughts.
00:58:16
