Speaker: Bring myself up here on stage. That might be beneficial. What is going on everybody? Happy Sunday. It's finally here. The NFL is back kickoff weekend. Everybody's ready to go. Ready to see what our teams are going to do. And I know you guys have been asking for it around here and we've been putting it off and trying to figure out how to make it happen, but we're going to do a little, you know, a little kickoff show. We'll go see how it goes. And, um,
Speaker: whatnot. This is going to be week one. Obviously Cam will be joining me. And then, uh, uh, I think starting next week, another friend of mine, uh, this airplane Edwards is going to be our other co -host. This will be an open forum, open panel, whatever you want to call it. Super chill, super laid back type of show. Um, so the link is in the chat. Uh,
Speaker: Not bad, not bad at all. I don't know what's not bad. Two minutes in, I haven't even done anything yet. But the link is in the, what's up Tommy? I was tuning in while I was setting the stuff up with with ah for year for the belt Kings fantasy football. I'll have to try to pull up there sometime this season, since our show will be after your show. We're going to do 12 to one.
Speaker: But, um oh, i joes let's just count down. That's used on everything. um I haven't even done an intro yet. Hey, look, Tony, I thought you had stuff to do today. I do got stuff to do today. But see, I make time for people. I'm like, you're checking. Yeah, let's let's talk about me making time for people. You know what? But you came on after me. I'm going to give you this. So I'm here. That is an excellent intro, like a little background. I'm going to give you a little bit. I'm going to give you a little bit. I figure I figure my cam is my co -host. If you ever pulls up.
Speaker: um He's a Panthers fan. And then Derek, my other co -host that'll be joining us next week, he's a Titans fan. So I think every week I'm going to change the background between our teams. So we'll have a different. Just like when I turn my chances up, that makes sense. You got to cover it all in there. So you're not just doing your team, you're doing the whole league. Exactly. a Exactly. Yeah, I wanted to, I don't know where Cam is. We've been talking all morning. He's the one that wanted to do this today. I was like, dude,
Speaker: My brain's not even right today. I love doing it right before the game start, especially with the updates that popped up this morning as well. Shout out to Dak Prescott. Did you see his finally getting his money? It's about damn time. I mean, I'm not the biggest Dak fan at the end of the day. I don't think he is as good as he's hyped up to be. You don't have to make what these numbers say he is.
Speaker: Yeah, but the yeah, the numbers don't don't lie. I mean, it's about damn time because this is what number year number two to your number three of him wanting to get paid and Jerry number one get paid and everybody else getting paid. But him, mind you, he has made it to the playoffs. He's had a win record. And I said this before, Kirk Cousins is steady, but he ain't got that Prescott's record. And they gave me, they gave me Kirk Cousins money just just just just for the hell of it. Just because he's Kirk Cousins. I'm curious to see how Kirk plays with the Falcons.
Speaker: He's going to be fine with the Falcons. I want to see him play. I think he's going to. I think this could be a different Falcons team than everybody's used to seeing. Well, think because as' often um I'm give you my craziness for the season before I go, because I got to get some breakfast for him. I'm harping on Pennics to have a good season. I really am. Oh yeah, I think good um they did like he may not start. I don't give a damn. I'm waiting for him to get on the field. They will be a playoff team this year. They have no reason. I think pretty much 500 last season and everything's looking better for them right now.
Speaker: I think if, uh, if, if, if Pennings gets a year to kind of sit down and and learn the system, learn the NFL, you got that, you know, he's going to, he's going to be solid. i'm I'm curious to see what the savior of Chicago is going to do. Caleb Williams. Everybody's on the Caleb Williams train, man. And I don't know. I'm not, yeah, I'm not, uh,
Speaker: I'm not on it yet. I wasn't on it when he was in college, but I want to see what he's going to do in Chicago. I'm gonna give you that. um I'm waiting on Dalman Cook to get activated. I know everybody says he's washed up. I disagree. He was talking back in the NFL a couple of seasons ago. I'll be damned.
Speaker: I heard you talking about Dalvin a couple weeks ago. Yes. and and i was't able to chime in Yes. And I'm with you. I'm with you on that. I was mad as hell last season. I'm like, damn, really? They're just going to make him ride the bench all season. He just came off of the top five. Well, he had it going on off the field. Yeah. So, it story so I can't wait for couldn't get started in my sleeper for the playoffs in Tennessee Titans.
Speaker: That's my sleep. yeah i've I can't not. I can't disagree with that because they're they're like Houston the last couple of years. Houston has been doing vision though. They hold the vision. They've been doing **** behind the scenes and Tennessee's been doing it this offseason and I'm like, you know what? They might be up to something this year. They are up to something. Just gotta make it.
Speaker: yeah When their competition is their only problem, I'm not going to lie. The division is crazy between them in Indianapolis, Houston, and Jacksonville's been to the playoffs. So that all four of them are ready. They're looking like the NFC East has been. They're looking like the AFC East did last season because everybody was pretty much, el but even as the Patriots almost snuck in their bad boy. Yeah. Right above 500. Yeah, they were. they were terrible last season for the Patriots. but ri It was so one season. It was close to 500 almost snuck in there. Well, we were talking. I was talking to Brian the other day. brian We were talking on the phone and you know, the NFC, the NFC is pretty much, you know, coming out of the NFC, it's going to either be Philadelphia or San Francisco basically running the gambit. The AFC. I'm running on Detroit to go. Yeah. The the AFC. What's going on?
Speaker: a have seen dick is homere team in nfl right now for play I would love to see, I would love to see, uh, Detroit make a playoff run. I really would. But the, but the, uh, the AFC man, there's so many good squads in there. It's anybody's business. I mean, everybody wants to talk about KC and blah, blah, blah, blah. But the Jets have got a lot of hype coming in this year. I can't believe they're going to go 12 and five.
Speaker: i I got to watch them play, man. I don't know. I know you're, you're a Jets fan, but man, and I never said it about nobody. They got to show me. I want to see them play before I buy into the, into the hype. Uh, you know, I was just like, man, I don't know guys, but yeah, I mean, Houston and the AFC is going to be an absolute slobber knocker this season because there's a lot of good teams in the AFC that are looking to look into play and looking to show out.
Speaker: Let me go get him ready. Shout out to, um, you and cam show. I mean, you and, um, passion show to everybody. Yeah. We'll be back Thursday night. Good. Good. Good. Good. I'm going to drop down. Y 'all run your show. We're going to address the office, man. All around. All right. Actually, bro. What up? Cammie cam. So man, technical difficulties. I got it all figured out. You, you are a technical difficulty. I'm not used to running a Mac book.
Speaker: Everybody gives a night, but they're fucking annoying. Ah, gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Dude, I'm over here. Just I'm Wally fucking around. I'm watching, you know, my I'm a game day guy. I'm an NFL network morning game day morning. I love the lineup. I love the the panel. I'm over here. I'm Wally fucking on my phone. I'm setting stuff up, watching this. And I'm like, oh, shit, it's new. I got to get this. day it's um I'm going to pull one up. I am.
Speaker: but well I haven't ever really been into it, but i'm I'm a college game day guy. I always turn that shit on no matter where I'm at. Oh, I love college game day. It's funny with Saban and um McAfee, but McAfee's over there like, and Saban's like, i the addition the addition to McAfee on college game day has been awesome. You see a whole new personality on that, panel of everybody on the panel. Des is having fun. Curt is having fun. You know, the guys are up there, they're having fun. Lee's having a ball. I think he's rejuvenated coach Corso. You know, of course it was 30 years younger with Pat up there on the panel. Yeah. But every time Lee talks though, or a course of course it makes me feel like I'm going to stroke out. I don't know if he's going to stroke out or me first.
Speaker: somebody's going to stroke out, but um I, ah you know, there's, there's a lot of, uh, Sunday morning, uh, kickoff pregame shows. Fox has one ESPN has one. I was going to say, um, it looks like here, cause I have my spectrum cable pulled up Fox NFL Sunday or Sunday NFL countdown. Which one do you prefer? Um, man, I used to go back and forth.
Speaker: because I like, uh, I, I like the panel. I like Brad Shaw and I like, uh, I like, I like the guys on the panel for Fox. Uh, ESPN is just your typical ESPN panel, blah, blah, blah. But, uh, for the last several years, I I've been locked in on the NFL network, uh, NFL game day morning.
Speaker: Uh, Kurt Warner, uh, Ervin, uh, coach Johnson, uh, rich and all those guys, they're, they're, they're great and they have fun. And the ladies on the panel and all the other side panelists and stuff like that. So they're having fun. They're having a blast. They're doing all kinds of crazy. shit it's It's NFL, NFL, uh, game day morning for me is where I'm at every Sunday morning. When I get up, I ah get up, I walk out here and I turn TV on and that's, I'll go to the NFL network.
Speaker: And that's where I'm at until, uh, until kickoff. Um, I like their analysis. I like what they do. They also do a really good job of hitting the mark on, um, on, um,
Speaker: fantasy football, a which, you know, we might dabble in a little bit here and there.
Speaker: But I want to just kind of jump on here and just kind of chitchat about the upcoming games, maybe make our picks, talk about the Thursday night games and whatnot. I do want to say, Jatodia and I kind of touched base on it. I don't know if you've seen it or not, when Tony first popped up in here. Dak Prescott finally got his deal. He finally got his money. I literally, as you said that,
Speaker: yeah Cause that was one of the ESPN now. Next, next four years, 240 million, uh, 60 million a year makes them the highest paid quarterback. Now, dude, did you see about Tyreke this morning? Yeah. Yeah. you got i guess like i start like though They were saying yeah players were running out there like, Hey, what did my, what did my boy do?
Speaker: Yeah, it was like right outside the stadium, the stadium entrance, he got pulled over, they pulled him out of his car, detained him. It sounds like that cop was a Patriots fan, let's be honest.
Speaker: Well, like you, Miami Dolphins. But yeah, so I know his, I know his agent was on talking about it. He was basically - Yeah, because he was riding with him. Yeah. He was like, yeah, we'll, we'll deal with it after the game today. Just know Tyreke we'll be playing, uh, and we'll deal with it. Yeah. that's part forbeag guess After, yeah, after the game, we'll, we'll deal with everything. So all that over just a reckless drive -in, there's no way they should have been treating them like that.
Speaker: No, not at all. And it you know, I gotta say one thing, you know, there's a lot of athletes out there that are doing boneheaded things. You're making a lot of boneheaded decisions. Okay. I see you Cincinnati rocking the all orange today. Um, I like those orange unis with the tiger stripes that the Bengals have. You and I hate the Bengals, but nonetheless, um, you know, there's a lot of NFL players, or a lot of, a lot of professional athletes out there doing a lot of boneheaded, stupid ass fucking things and shit like that.
Speaker: Excuse me while I died again, but, uh, Tyreeks, not one of those guys, you know, he seems to have a good head on his shoulders. He seems to be a pretty good dude off the field and on the field and whatnot. So to, uh, and, uh, to kind of fuck with him like that seems unnecessary, but, um, I want to, uh,
Speaker: run in here real quick. yeah got him start ge You better be playing. Who's that? Tyree. You better bench him. He's not playing today.
Speaker: So speaking of the games, like I said, this is going to be like a little one hour show every Sunday. Uh, we'll get it fired up around noon and then go right into, right into kickoffs. Um,
Speaker: I'll work on intro music and all that jazz as well. Um, I just threw a little, little logo together real quick with a little, uh, little show name, but, um, did you get a chance to see any of the, uh, Thursday night game? I actually did not, uh, a little bit of it. Let's just call a spade of Spain. Let's buy a gun ahead and call it what it is.
Speaker: 2024 NFL teams, you're put on notice. If you're playing the Kansas city chiefs, they're going to be playing against the refs as well. Right. And we might as well rename Kansas city from the chiefs to the cheats because Jesus Christ, you know, I know everybody's quick to go terrible officiating cost my team to game, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker: But when there's blatant video evidence and pictures, like there was a couple of illegal formation calls that were called against Baltimore when they were driving. And they show pictures of the line and all the linemen are behind the center where they're supposed to be. And it's like, please explain how this is a legal formation. Uh, top analysis for the NFL are calling out the referees and calling out Kansas at this point.
Speaker: So just be prepared. If your team is unfortunate enough to have to play against the chief, we have to, especially in Kansas city and be prepared to get screwed. At least we're at home this year. Yeah. Be prepared to get screwed over. I did not watch any of the Friday night game between the Eagles and Packers. Yeah, that was either the Panthers is the first regular season game I'll be kitchen. But however, um,
Speaker: much better game than I thought it was gonna be. I thought Philly was gonna roll, roll Green Bay. Unfortunately, Jordan Love did go down. He's got an MCL, he's got an MCL spring. So he's looking to miss the next three to six weeks, which is unfortunate for Green Bay, obviously, and and in Jordan Love. So I don't know who Green Bay's backup is, but um next week I'll do better to watch the Thursday night game and be able to add a little bit more analist to it, if you will. Bill's dolphins next Thursday, actually, that should be a pretty good game. Both teams should be relatively good this year, but I want to roll out, I want to roll into, I want to roll into a match -ups and throw some picks down here, Cam, before we run out of time and then kind of like briefly talk about each game. And we'll go ahead, speaking of your,
Speaker: of your, um, your Panthers, Panthers and saints today, man, I gotta say, obviously I'm taking the Panthers, but I hadn't heard anything about if they're going to start Rattler or a car. And I really feel like that has to do with the outcome. Um,
Speaker: But of course I'm taking the Panthers. Of course. you I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to roll with the Saints, man.
Speaker: um
Speaker: Basically, but but just because of how bad your team was. like yeah You don't want to mess up your pigs. and and and And I don't and I don't think they I don't think they really did much in Carolina.
Speaker: to help themselves this off season. Well, we got another coach. Um, and we got Kanalas. He came from the books. He's very offensive minded and that's what we needed. And he's not afraid and he's admitted personally that he's not afraid to let the OC call plays if that is what's the problem. And the last two coaches we've had,
Speaker: They didn't care. They called place. yeah So for him to say, Hey, that's been a problem in Carolina. And if it continues to be the problem here, I'll hand it off to the OC. That's some balls writer. So we'll see. Uh, no, I think, I think that the new addition with the coaches is going to be.
Speaker: Definitely beneficial to you guys, but our own little trash and Bryce is still like 20 pounds heavier to me and like inex dollar me So, of course he cries every time he has anyone going after him hey You guys, you guys had a shot at CJ nice or Anthony Richardson would have been better than Bryce. I mean, Bryce, isn't bad. He's, he's got some really good skill, but he's our O -line just cannot protect him enough. So we'll see. yeah I'm not going to try to talk about the Panthers too much, but we'll see, you man. Yeah. You know, I appreciate the dedication, the loyalty to your boys. Even, even if you, you know, even if deep down you're like,
Speaker: Yeah, they're probably going to get their shit knocked in by the Saints. I'm still there rolling my team. Oh, hell yeah, man. Wow. I'm a panther. Well, cardiac cats. All right. We'll roll into my boys. Them dogs versus them boys. Cowboys, Cleveland. um You know me, man. First and foremost, fuck Dallas. Yeah, right. look but America's team. Yeah, right. Whoever came up with that slogan.
Speaker: ah fuck Fuck you, dad. Fuck you, Dallas. Oh, you got paid today. We'll get ready to get sacked four times by the reigning defending defenders, defensive player of the year. Miles Garrett. I'm going Browns all day against Dallas. Yeah, I'm going Browns.
Speaker: Uh, I am. I am very excited for
Speaker: year number three with Deshaun Watson. I'm still not the biggest Watson fan. Um, he's played 12 games and two C in three seasons, two seasons out of what 34 games, 32 games, something like that. He's only played 12. He does have an eight and four record. So he's got a winning record when he is playing. Um, and last season before he got injured, he was looking really good.
Speaker: Um, we did have the addition. Uh, we already had a Mari Cooper, David and Joe who, who absolutely followed out last year with our 17 different quarterbacks that we had. Um, we've got, um, Elijah, um, fucking Bell, I think it was the name. Then we, we drafted Thrasher from Tennessee. I'm curious to see how that kid does.
Speaker: But the most exciting off -season offensive weapon that we picked up, the the most the one that I was most excited for to add to the arsenal for Watson was Jerry Judy out of Denver. I don't think Jerry Judy ever got the opportunity to really show his full potential in Denver. So with Injoku, Judy, and Cooper, Nick Chubb will be back in a few weeks.
Speaker: um Deontay Ford, I think he's going to be a good replacement. He's a, he's a bruiser at running back. So I'm excited. And we still got top tier offensive line. We're coming back with the number one defense and NFL again, this year, we didn't lose anybody. Everybody's healthy. So, you know, I think this is going to be another good season for Cleveland. And we're going to start out today, taking down them boys, if you will, open it up the season at home.
Speaker: The dogs are going to be there. The dogs are going to be barking and they're going to be ready to rock and roll.
Speaker: Got the next game or next team or the next game here. Atlanta versus Pittsburgh. I'll let you take your pick first as much as it pains my heart to say this. I'm going to go with the Steelers. Russ is out today. Russ is not playing.
Speaker: Um, so that means Justin Fields is playing. I like Justin Fields. I'm a Justin Fields guy. Um, I thought he'd played good in Chicago. And, um, I was hoping this season would be good for him to kind of learn from Russ. Say what you will about Russ. He was great in Seattle for all those years. I don't blame him for Denver. I blame Denver for Denver because Denver is fucking a dumpster fire at the end of the day.
Speaker: But having a young cat like Justin Fields, being able to learn from a true veteran like Russ, I think will benefit him in the long run. And as we all know, with Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, once they sign guys, they hold on to guys forever. So we could see Justin Fields in the black and yellow for many years to come. Or not just Justin Fields. So I'm i'm going to go with the Steelers, man.
Speaker: And nothing against my guy, Kirk cousins got love for you, but, uh, he's 40 goddamn years old. Well, that's all right. He's still, ah he's out there bawling out. Uh, I'm gonna run with the Steelers, man. I think, I think it's going to be the Steelers day today. Yeah. I'm going to take the Steelers. Um, I mean, obviously they're divisional rivals. So.
Speaker: I can't stand them. Um, that's pretty much our, our closest rival to us. And I mean, I've always pulled through for the Steelers anyway. So I've never pulled for the Steelers. I've always, and always had love for them. I never pulled for the Steelers. fuck them cloud um Well, since my grandparents knew Willie Parker, like that kind of got me into like in the Steelers.
Speaker: I don't, um you know, being a Cleveland Browns fan, ah you know um' quote unquote, I'm supposed to hate the Steelers. I don't hate the Steelers, man. I respect the organization. I respect the owners. They're a solid football program. I enjoy watching them play. I've said it a million times. there's two two There's two teams in the NFL that I absolutely hate. I hate the Baltimore Ravens. Fuck you, Art Modell, you piece of shit.
Speaker: And I hate the Denver Broncos. You can go to help John Elway. You weren't alive. I was barely even old enough to even know what the hell was going on, but I was alive when John Elway beat the Browns and the AFC championship fucking humble, the drive, go to help Denver. Nobody likes you anyways. So what's going on Benji?
Speaker: So those are, I mean, I respect the Steelers organization, uh, you know, and, and, and they are, and they are a fun team to watch, you know, be in a Midwest guy. I like good, hard nose, smash mouth football. And for the most part, there's, there's still some teams out there, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, green Bay.
Speaker: Um, even if Chicago is bad Detroit, even if Detroit's bad, man, they, they hard nose smash mouth in your face football. And I love that. shit Um, he's not here this week, but, um, he may be here next week. Uh, and he, in and and he's a Titans fan. Derek, uh, Derek Wayne will be our third member of our panel slash co -host when Cam's not here. Um,
Speaker: But, um, he's a Titans fan. So I want to roll into the Titans bears, Titans, bears, dog bears. Who's home? got no ah They are, they are in soldier field in Chicago. Um, I'm going to go to Chicago.
Speaker: really take Stop bears. Well, my boy DJ more is there. So hey that was a shit trade. We ended up with fucking Bryce young out of there. I mean, you got to do what you got to do, man. Um, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to, man, I'm going to roll with the Titans. Tony and I said at the beginning of the show. Uh, and, uh, and, uh, you know, we both, we both agreed that the the Titans might be a sleeper team this year to make the playoffs.
Speaker: And I'll say with will levies, he's a good young quarterback. He frank came from Kentucky, right? Um, yeah I I was just curious. Okay. I think what will levies is a good young quarterback. He showed, he showed that last year, you know, uh, being a rookie, he, he stepped up in a big way. He made mistakes, whatever. Um, they have, um, they added, uh,
Speaker: this off season, they added Tony Pollard, uh, RB one from Dallas. Uh, again, I think Tony Pollard is one of those guys who never has gotten an opportunity to really shine. Um, they added Calvin Ridley still got D hops. Don't sleep on D hop. I know he's getting up there in age, but the Andre Hopkins, I think, I think he still got it. Still got that tiger. and Yeah. Um, yeah he played Brandon Ford. He is old.
Speaker: Yeah. Um, you know, I, I think you still got something in the tank and they made some, they made some other moves this off season. You know, like you said, Tony and I were talking about it when we first kicked off. I think the Titans are a, uh, are, are a sleeper playoff team. So um um I'm going to run with the Titans, uh, over the deaf beers. Cause I mean, I know everybody wants to ride the Caleb Williams hype chain.
Speaker: I wasn't on that train when he was in college and and and and I'm definitely not on that, on that train week one, season one for Caleb Williams. Um, you know, I will, I will give Chicago props. They do have the Andre swift. He's a proven running back. He's a workhorse. He's going to put up yards. He's going to put up points. Uh, Kalil Herbert is there. Uh, as you said, they got DJ more. They've got, they've got a Keenan Allen.
Speaker: Um, they got the rookie, um, Rome, uh, Adunez, I think that's how you say his name. And they got Cole Clement there or commit there. So, I mean, and they've, they've got weapons, but it's all going to come down to this rookie quarterback and how he meshes, how he gels. And if he's able to step up season one year one right off the bat. So.
Speaker: don't sleep on the bear or don't sleep on the bears this year, but I'm rolling with the Titans. Rolling with the Titans. Now we'll just roll into all these other BS games that nobody cares about. Cause it's not our teams. right um Patriots stadium.
Speaker: I don't know, man. I'm going with, um,
Speaker: I mean, obviously I don't really care for Joey B, but, you know, they got T Higgins and I'm always going for my, wherever my Tigers go, I kind of pull for them. But I mean, you know, you got T and you got Jamar on the other side. So I mean, that's a good wide receiver core. Yeah. Um, are you saying bang gals? Plus I hate the fucking Patriots.
Speaker: come regardless of Tom Brady or not, they'd beat us. I'm going to, I'm going to go bingles. I'm going to, I'm going to go bingles as well. Um, plus the big or the Patriots have went through like seven quarterbacks. I don't even know who's flying out. Yeah. I have no idea. drake may Maybe, maybe. I don't even know. Let's let's take a, uh, oh wow. Jacoby presets are starting quarterback. What? Okay. I thought y 'all still had Jacoby. Oh no. We got really Jacoby before last season.
Speaker: So they've got, they've got to go be percent Drake may and Joe Milton the third. So Joe Milton and Joby per se, Kobe percent is not bad. yeah He's a good, um, yeah, I'm, I'm rolling with the bangles, even with Joe burrow, stupid 19, uh, 1999 M and M slim, shady blonde hair. Uh, I don't, I, I don't believe the hype behind Joe burrows, man. Everybody wants to think Joe burrows is next, next second coming of Jesus. God damn Christ.
Speaker: But I'm not buying it. I don't buy the hype.
Speaker: um There's been a lot of issues with T Higgins in the off season. I think T deserves to get paid. I think he's somewhere else. he's He's definitely a wide receiver one and a wide receiver play in a wide receiver two wide receiver three role. He needs to get paid.
Speaker: um Jamar Chase. I mean, he hasn't been practicing. He wants a big fucking payday. So he hasn't, I mean, going into today's game, they weren't even know they weren't even sure if he was going to be playing or not, but he is. He is going to play. He is shooting up. He will be playing. So um I will say that I think Cincinnati shot themselves in the face by choosing Zach Moss over Joe Mixon at running back.
Speaker: That's just my opinion. I could be wrong. And if I'm wrong at the end of the season, if I have to eat crow, I'll eat crow. But, um, I think Joe Mixon is in a much better place, uh, where he's at. But, uh, yeah, definitely, uh, you know, we're both rolling with the Bengals there. Uh, that's kind of a giving. Patriots were asked last year. I think they're going to be asked again this year. Um, Tennessee Titan or not Tennessee Titans. I'm looking at Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis c Colts versus the Houston Texans.
Speaker: I'm going with the Texans, man. Stroud, I mean, you got to give him credit.
Speaker: um I am going to, and I know this will make Brian very happy, not just CJ Stroud, who had a phenomenal season last year. And I hope he continues to have a good season this year. I think the Houston Texans are a bonafide.
Speaker: a threat in the AFC. They are a potential, uh, AFC championship contender and a Super Bowl contender with, um, the addition this off season of Joe Mixon, step on digs. Um, they've got Nico Collins. They've got Robert Woods. They also added Dalton Schultz at tight end.
Speaker: um their ah Their offense was nasty last season, and it just it got even scarier in this offseason with some moves they made offensively. um They made some moves defensively as well. um I'm calling it. I think i think they are a definite Super Bowl contender in Houston, and the AFC needs to be put on notice about Houston.
Speaker: so Um, but as, as Brian and I were talking, the NFC is, it's pretty much locked in, you know, you know, it's going to be, you know, it's going to be, uh, San Francisco running the gambit on everybody, Kansas cheating their way into the playoffs and into the Superbowl again, probably. Um, that's AFC team, but, um, Philly's going to be a contender in the NFC. They're going to probably run the gambit.
Speaker: And San Francisco is gonna do exactly what they did again this year last year. The NFC South is a complete dumpster fire. I hate to say it. I think Tampa is gonna come out of the NFC South again this year. great Baker Mayfield, man. Shake it big, baby. Let's go. But you know I think your three big teams out of the NFC this year are gonna be Detroit, San Francisco, and Philly.
Speaker: But the AFC is going to be an absolute dogfight all season long. Miami's good. Buffalo's good. The Jets are supposedly supposed to be top tier. Kansas is good. Uh, since he's good, Cleveland's good. Baltimore of course is good and Houston's going to be good. And then we're going to have some sleepers in Tennessee. Um, and, uh, um, might even, um, see, uh, the chargers do something this year.
Speaker: So it's going to be a dog fight in the AFC this season. and NFC is just going to be the NFC. We're both going with the Texans between the Colts and Texans. Jags and dolphins. You know. it It's a toss up because I hate to.
Speaker: never But. And I mean. I don't know, I'm going dolphins. I don't want to, but I'm going to offense. And plus, we know Tyreech is pissed, so he's going to run it all over the place. Yeah. um Yeah, I mean, and love him or hate him. Tua has been proving himself out there. I've been saying it for the last couple of years. Miami is not a team to be slept on.
Speaker: um You gotta you gotta give Miami respect. They've been moving and doing things and making things happen. So yeah, I'm definitely. I'm definitely rolling with Miami. Not a much, not much happiness offseason with Miami. Or or or Jacksonville for that matter. Couple new players on their offensive. They got. Oh, Travis.
Speaker: It's me. I think that's how you say his name. Um, Christian Kirk gave Davis Etienne. Yeah. Etienne. Christian Kirk gave Davis is there. Uh, Brian Thomas Jr. He's a rookie. It's got a bunch of hype behind him. Um, yeah, outside of that. i And I really didn't do, uh, do to too much crazy stuff between those two teams. Um,
Speaker: but rolling here to a dog shit game that I don't think anybody's going to really care about. I don't have anything really nice at all to say about these, about either one of these teams. So I'm going to take from Bambi, I'm going to take Thumper's advice. And if we don't have nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all. We're just going to pick a winner or a loser. ten out bra it No, the Minnesota Vikings versus the New York Giants. Um,
Speaker: I don't even know, man. Uh, I'm looking at the depth charts. Cause it seems like a lot of people shook up a lot of stuff this year. I'm about to give you. wild Well, the Minnesota Vikings, they did draft JJ from Michigan. Uh, unfortunately JJ had a season ending yeah injury already. So he's out. Sam Donald is your starting quarterback. They do have Aaron Jones and Miles Gaskins at running back.
Speaker: They still have Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison for their wide receivers and they got, um, well, they had TJ Hocken, uh, Hockinson, but, uh, he is apparently, uh, injured. Yeah. I'm gonna go Vikings. I just looked at the depth charts. Um, like you said, nobody cares about that game program. I least games this week, but yeah, I mean the biggest, the biggest thing out of New York that New York has done.
Speaker: is Malik neighbors are neighbors. He's a rookie. Um, that's getting a lot of hype behind him. Um, we all know we're going to get out of Daniel Jones. All right. We we've seen the Daniel Jones experience for New York. Um, I'm running, I'm running Vikings on that one as well. Uh, just, just based off of the, the Jordan or the, uh, the Jefferson, um, factor.
Speaker: Even even with Sam Donald at QB one. I think Justin Jefferson is is the difference maker All day every but again, that's one of those games we could We just throw that fucking game in the in the dumpster. Nobody's gonna care anyways Except for the fans of said team so no disrespect to your fan base if you're out there and you you happen to be a fan of those teams and um Another another probably kind of throwaway game in my opinion um I don't want to be too harsh but Because you know the Raiders were absolute dogshit last year um But out the Raiders versus the Chargers at SoFi Stadium
Speaker: It is menshu mania in in in in Las Vegas for the Raiders Gardner menshu was announced as their QB won a couple weeks ago over Aiden O 'Connell So everybody's losing their goddamn mind because everybody loves them some Gardner menshu I'm gonna go chargers at home um Devontae Adams is there still he's still not happy. He hates life and it's being invaded They didn't really do anything bigger special ah Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna go with ah I'm gonna go with my boy cuz I do love me some Justin Herbert I
Speaker: I'm going to go with chargers, man. And they got got it Gus Edwards and JK Dobbins out there running back. um Dude, not trying to cut you off, but I swear to God, guess who's hurt this week? He's in, but he's hurt. I'm just looking at it on the morning, Jeff. Who's that? Fucking Christian McCaffrey. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's ah yeah he's been pain hurting his vagina. yeah he Yeah, that's what I said, man. Yeah, you did. I've been, you know,
Speaker: If I'm in a fantasy football league, just know, just give me Christian McCaffrey because I've been with this cat since day one. um da I'm on that day one issue with Christian McCaffrey. So don't take you. I want to go fight jo's Josh's wife, Amanda, for taking him this year. But yeah, you know he's, he's, he's ah he's been questionable for the last week and a half. I can't remember. what does feel yeah cap Yeah. So I think he'll be fine. Yeah. He, he stays questionable.
Speaker: it This whole fucking life is cool. Um, Broncos, sea chickens again, another, another throwaway game. hi who I don't even know they're running. Who's the depth chart on this real quick. Denver Broncos at Seattle. and Okay. Uh, Denver. What are we doing in Denver? atle no You know, they, they got that loud stadium, but yeah.
Speaker: So so another another rookie quarterback making his first start, Bo Nix out of Oregon. OK. He's actually with the Goose Creek for a little while. I know some people. I actually really like Bo Nix in college. um um I'm hoping he has a good career in the NFL.
Speaker: ah
Speaker: Jovante Williams running back one. Cortland Sutton. um Yeah, I mean, there's just not much going on in Denver at this point in time. Geno Smith back behind center again this year, he's been bawling out since he went to Seattle. Zach Travonnet,
Speaker: ah no way Kenneth Walker III is there running back. then And then, of course, you've got DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett. yeah Uh, they got a, they got another, um, Oh, uh, um, well, he might be out. He might be out. No, he's playing Smith. Wide receiver out of Ohio state, but they don't have them listed on the depth chart.
Speaker: Uh, wide receiver out of Ohio state, something Smith in jig box. i'm I'm rolling. I'm rolling sea chickens in this game. I think the Seahawks are just going to wipe the floor with Denver. Gino's been playing some good ball in and Seattle. Uh, since, since he went there, this is his start season with Seattle. Uh, Gino's been playing some real good ball and it's like his career got, um, he got it like a little, uh, a little kick in the ass, man. And, uh,
Speaker: Rejuvenated his career going to Seattle. So I'm excited to see Gino playing well and doing well and Those freaks of nature that they have a wide receiver Tyler lock it and That fucking monster of a man DK Metcalf are just gonna do their thing. Oh Let's see. What do we got here? We got we got three games remaining And I think these are for the most part gonna be some good games.
Speaker: ah
Speaker: The Washington football team. Washington commanders heading down to Tampa at Raymond James Stadium to take on Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I'm going bucks all day. That is my team number two. Give me a rundown of who who they got. Cause I fucking hate Baker.
Speaker: Love I love me some Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We got Baker Mayfield starting quarterback Mike Evans Chris Godwin wide receiver one and two Kate Otten tight end and Rashid white as you're running back um They've got a they've got a pretty stout offensive line defensively they're they're they're doing big things over there um With Cansey And, uh, Colston, a couple other guys beat of Bay is there. Um, you know, they, they, and, and the commanders who only knows what the goddamn commanders are doing. Uh, Jaden Daniels, another rookie QB, uh, making his start. Uh, he's, uh, out of LSU. Uh, Brian Robinson, Jr. Running back one Austin Eichler running back to.
Speaker: Uh, Terry McLaren is still there. He's going to be in Washington for his entire life. And Zach hurts tight end. Uh, man, I'm going bucks as as much as it hurts me to say it. Cause again, their divisional rival, um, bucks are still stacked. Obviously. But can the other forces commanders.
Speaker: Yeah. Like I said, I'm a, I'm a, uh, that's kind of become my, my number two team. I'm ah you know, the Tampa sports scene. I, I, you know, I've become a fan of it hockey, football, whatever. All right. Let's see. We got two more games here. Oh, let's do the Rams and Alliance tonight. My buddy went to that game Rams and the lions for the Sunday night game up in Ford field in Detroit, Michigan.
Speaker: So I'm going to go ahead and take my pick. And I hope my buddy's watching because he does follow, but fuck you Rams. He's going to be pissed. I'm going to lie. I am going to. It's a toss up, man. It really depends on who goes out doing your thing because they're both.
Speaker: really good, but I feel like the Rams are a little more hit and miss. Um, that's where Harbaugh went was the Rams. right nice Yeah. I do believe so. Right. The Lions at, um, wait, no, no. Yeah. Did you go to the charges? Yeah, I'm looking right at it. Cause I was, I still had the chargers game pulled up. Okay. Well, either way,
Speaker: I'm going to take my guys. Stafford comes back into Detroit. The crowd boozing. He comes in. Cooper cup is healthy this season. Unlike last season. And Matthew Stafford, Cooper cup and Puka, no Kua and them boys in the Rams. Mop the floor with the lions and the lions are but your boy Hutchinson went to the lions. Yeah, I know, but I mean, you can't just pull for one team for one guy. Yeah. No, I mean, ah just Cooper cup in and the Kula Stafford's been playing great ball since he went to the, he's always played great ball. Don't get me wrong. Stafford's always been a good, a good quarterback. Um,
Speaker: ah Yeah. Like I said, I just, it's going to be a, it's going to be a very good game. Oh yeah. It's going to be a very good game. It's going to be a close game. I think it's going to come down to the wire, but I think, I think the Rams will, will, will, will edge them out. Um, as good as the lions are no disrespect to the reliance and the other week, I probably would have picked them and I mean, I kind of want to pick them this week, but, um, I got to lean more towards, uh, the Rams and this one.
Speaker: So and the final game of the the Monday night game this week is a return bout from last season week one the Jets and 49ers, you know I just can't and I mean I naturally pull for the Jets because I have a few friends that are Jets fans. Obviously Tony D couple of guys I went to school with. Man, the the Jets are. They have a good lineup, don't get me wrong. um But I mean, you know, and and with the Niners, I mean they got I didn't know they had Brock pretty. i just I just can't. I forgot about that. I can't get behind him, but my boy CMC is obviously running.
Speaker: and I'm going Niners Well, we already know where I'm going Where I'm going Niners Tony and I were talking about it when we first started this show But not neither one of us are really on the hype train for the Jets I know the Jets have got a lot of hype behind them this season with the defense and everything like that Rogers returning But as I said, I think the Niners are running the gambit this year They're going back to the Super Bowl in my opinion and
Speaker: I think they're just going to, it might be close for a minute, but there's too many weapons. Brock party has too many weapons with, uh, kiddo, uh, Daniels, I, you know, they, they got the, I think taking care of. And of course your wild cards, you never know what he's going to do, where he's going to be at. If he's going to be throwing the ball, catching the ball, running the ball is CMC. He, he is your, your game changer right there.
Speaker: So we're going to go with, I'm going to go with the Niners here. This is Monday night. So I got a suggestion. Um, this is kind of like on the fly. I know we're almost done, but since we're doing Sunday shows, do you want to go ahead and do you want to do away with Thursday picks or do you want to like pick ahead on Thursday? Nope. We're going to go ahead and pick ahead on Thursday. Cool. um' I'm not trying to like overstep, but I just thought about that. Nope. I was going to go ahead and and and pick for Thursday night's game as well. um um um I'm putting them, I'm, I'm right now, you know, we got all the Sunday games and then I put beside the the Niners jets. I put Monday night. So next Thursday, uh, on Amazon, I think this is going to be a really good matchup. Um,
Speaker: dude, dude, dude. Hold Jesus. I just lost it in a AFC East divisional matchup. Buffalo travels to Miami.
Speaker: Hey on a Thursday for a Thursday night matchup. um Buffalo is Buffalo man. At the end of the day. Josh Allen is going to do Josh Allen things. They got rid of step on digs.
Speaker: i'm I'm taking the Dolphins in that game, dude. a Hello. Hey buddy. He just worked. I'm taking the, uh, I'm taking the dolphins in the Thursday night matchup at home, Miami versus Buffalo. Yeah. i' want I'm gonna, I'm gonna take dolphins as well. I was trying to get behind the bills, but I just can't do it. I, you know, it's, they have no wide receivers now. They have Curtis. He's too cold. they They have no wide receivers. They don't really have a running game. I mean,
Speaker: Cook's not bad, but he's nothing like his brother was. Yeah, it's like. When are you going to take all we've heard about the last several years is Josh Allen, Josh Allen, Josh Allen, no discredit to Josh Allen.
Speaker: Amazing quarterback. I love him on that. and Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's doing. He's doing some kickass things. He's doing some awesome things, but when are you going to finally turn that next? When are you going to finally step up and win the big one? You know, when are you going to win the big playoff game? When are you going to make it to the Super Bowl? Right now joke. Yeah, and I'm just not behind that the Josh Allen hype anymore. Huh?
Speaker: yeah and I restarted the dryer. So we've got our picks. For those part, we're kind of in agreeance tonight. I got Saint, or today I got Saints over ah when Panthers. You got Panthers. Browns for both of us. Steelers for both of us. Titans for me. Bears for you. Bengals for both of us. Texans for both of us. Dolphins for both of us. Vikings for both of us. I got the Rams. You got the Lions. We both got the Niners. And then the Thursday nights. So we're pretty much out of agreeance here.
Speaker: when we add the third person to the mix, uh, we'll see if we can get some, some, uh, yeah, I'm trying not to like, you know, be right up on your, but I mean, we honestly kind of, we got to, you got to pick who you actually who do you think don't pick somebody that you don't think so to live.
