00:00:49
Nacc
I apologize for nothing.
00:00:52
Roger Emeka
Like like last year.
00:00:53
Nacc
Well, when your own team sucks, it's kind of easy.
00:00:55
Fabio
Well, that's what fantasy does to you, right?
00:00:58
Roger Emeka
Is it just Fannus?
00:00:58
Nacc
Oh, it's not even fantasy. No, it's not fantasy. I just like that.
00:01:00
Fabio
Well, it helps that you had Josh Allen like three years in a row.
00:01:01
Nacc
I i and love both those players.
00:01:03
Fabio
mean
00:01:03
Nacc
I love those players.
00:01:05
Roger Emeka
So yeah, I think the Stage of Set Guide is going to be a great, great championship Sunday.
00:01:06
Fabio
i would
00:01:09
Roger Emeka
Obviously, it was a really good divisional round as well. I would say way better than Wild Card Weekend. Any high-level thoughts from the games this past
00:01:15
Fabio
Easily.

00:01:18
Roger Emeka
weekend?
00:01:18
Roger Emeka
Obviously, the Bills and Ravens, that was the most sought-after game, and then there was the the Commanders and Lions. But, Nack, you want to provide some of your high-level thoughts from the games this past weekend.
00:01:30
Nacc
Yeah, it's crazy. So the the going into that that bills and Ravens games. um It's wild to me. I saw a stat they showed on TV on the screen. Lamar Jackson um two or more.
00:01:44
Nacc
uh, turnovers in a game. It, uh, it does not happen very often in the regular season, but it happens 50% of the time in the playoffs. So, um, I think now it's become more than a track record. Like you could, you could kind of say like this guy just, he doesn't have it in the playoffs for whatever reasons. You could blame players, you could blame whatever, but you know what?
00:02:06
Nacc
He still had a horrible pick last night. He had a horrible fumble when trying to do too much when he should have just gone down. um And I think he just gets into his head. So I don't know.
00:02:17
Nacc
I think he's. He's that guy that's just going to win those MVPs and just not going to do it in the in the in the big games, unfortunately, especially with the big guys that are kind of around.
00:02:26
Roger Emeka
you he You know he reminds me of?
00:02:31
Nacc
Dummy.
00:02:31
Roger Emeka
pe
Defining Careers: Lamar Jackson's Playoff Performance
00:02:32
Roger Emeka
Peyton Manning.
00:02:33
Fabio
Well, I was, I was just, but I would.
00:02:33
Roger Emeka
This is is is Peyton Manning when when Tom Brady was the boogeyman.
00:02:34
Nacc
it's pretty good description that says pretty good that's pretty good
00:02:40
Fabio
Yeah.
00:02:40
Roger Emeka
The Steelers I think were a boogeyman for him too and he finally got it going and you saw the the monkey was off Peyton Manning's back when that happened but it took a long time. You were gonna say Fab?
00:02:51
Fabio
I was not I agree with 100% I was gonna say the exact same thing and like Lamar Jackson's in year seven. Like this is not going to be his mo for the rest of his career is going to have a very, very long career, there's going to be countless opportunities for him to go to the Super Bowl like I'm not like Yeah, it looks it looks very bad in a in in a vacuum right now, for sure. Especially when you look at his touchdown to INT ratio like in playoff games, it's like 11 to 13 or something. like It's not good at all. But you know like you can't crown him just yet. That guy's ah he's a
MVP Wins vs Playoff Success: Josh Allen's Impact
00:03:23
Fabio
stud. But one stat though, and I guess it's likely at this point, hasn't been confirmed yet. But he's expected to win his third MVP. And he would be the only quarterback to win three MVPs and not make a Super Bowl appearance.
00:03:36
Fabio
which sucks, right?
00:03:38
Roger Emeka
Honestly?
00:03:38
Fabio
to To be part of that statistic, but ah if I'm a Baltimore Ravens fan right now, like I'm still not, I'm still not losing hope to be honest with you. Like it's just a matter of time and they're going to.
00:03:48
Nacc
I don't think he wins. I don't think he wins.
00:03:50
Fabio
No, I don't think you can say that. You can't, you can't say that right now. We're so early on this career.
00:03:54
Nacc
No, no, no, no, I'm saying MVP. I know you mentioned MVP like he's probably gonna win.
00:03:56
Fabio
Oh, the only reason why I say that is because he was first team all pro and Allen was second.
00:03:57
Nacc
I think.
00:04:01
Nacc
Yeah.
00:04:02
Fabio
And like ah at this point now, at this point now,
00:04:03
Nacc
Yeah, but the all pro has the stats. The stats were slightly better than Alan.
00:04:08
Fabio
Yeah. I'm saying the voting already went in the voting already went in. Right. So I think, I think it's like, I think the most likely it's going to be him.
00:04:12
Nacc
No, no, for sure. I'm not necessarily on this game.
00:04:16
Fabio
It's not for sure, obviously, but yeah.
00:04:17
Roger Emeka
Yeah. So if, if I'm him, i I don't want to win that. I mean, going up on stage again at another NFL honors just before the Superbowl, you're going to get another MVP, but you're already, you're, you're bound.
00:04:23
Fabio
Oh, a hundred percent.
00:04:30
Roger Emeka
Like the guys who, the guys who are going to the Superbowl are not at NFL honors. They're like practicing for the game. Right. So if I'm him, I don't want to be there.
00:04:38
Nacc
Yeah, of course.
00:04:38
Fabio
Yeah, sure.
00:04:40
Roger Emeka
Like, what are you going to say again?
00:04:41
Nacc
And I just feel like yeah MVP stands for so much more.
00:04:41
Roger Emeka
Another day.
00:04:45
Nacc
Like, dude, the guy had a 2000 yard rusher on his team, right? Like 2000 yards where we're talking, right? Like Josh Allen was the team.
00:04:53
Fabio
Yeah.
00:04:54
Nacc
Like that to me signifies MVP, most valuable player on that team. Without Josh Allen, that team is nobody. The Ravens have proven to win without Lamar Jackson.
00:05:05
Nacc
And I'm sorry, you have a 2000 yard rusher.
00:05:06
Roger Emeka
When? When have they proven to win without him?
00:05:08
Fabio
No, I have to agree with Nakk on this too. If you look at even the talent around Josh Allen versus the talent that's around around Lamar Jackson, even from a defensive point of view, from a coaching staff point of view, from like so many facets, Josh Allen did so much more with less.
00:05:16
Nacc
Yeah, man.
00:05:26
Fabio
I mean, it sucks because
00:05:26
Nacc
Yeah.
00:05:26
Roger Emeka
i don't know I don't know about that. James james cook james Cook had an amazing year. Dionne Dawkins.
00:05:30
Nacc
But he only had 1000 yards.
00:05:30
Fabio
hundred Yeah, but it was No, yeah I'm not I'm not discounting James Cook's here at all But I mean you look at just the quality of the the players around him I don't know like and this is no discredit to Lamar Jackson because you take Lamar Jackson this year put him last year and MVP no problem not an issue at all like we're all clowning him about like how that wasn't even really an MVP season and And it just sort of sucks that like these two MVP caliber seasons really happened at the exact same time.
00:05:31
Roger Emeka
Dionne Dawkins is an author role.
00:05:32
Nacc
Half the yards Henry did, bro. Half.
00:05:35
Roger Emeka
I don't want him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:46
Nacc
And.
00:05:55
Roger Emeka
Last word.
00:06:00
Fabio
And it was the first time in God knows how long, maybe like 60 years that like when Baltimore went up against the bills this weekend, it was the first time in, in decades that it was clear cut number one, MVP versus number two, MVP.
00:06:14
Fabio
Nobody knew for sure, but they were both in the running for it and and they're both extremely deserving of it. But I think it's ultimately going to go to um Lamar.
Ravens in Playoffs: Lamar Jackson's Challenges
00:06:23
Roger Emeka
Knack last word on this?
00:06:23
Nacc
yeah and Yeah, and I just think last year, exactly what happened, Alan blew his stats out of the water and didn't win because he had a lot of interceptions, but he had a better supporting cast. Last year, Lamar kind of did it mostly on his own, right? Like he didn't have the running game he had this year, right? He didn't have a 2000 yard rusher by by his side and his stats were significantly worse than Josh Allen's last year. So I think he got the first team all pro,
00:06:52
Nacc
100%, his stats were slightly better, but more important to the team was definitely Josh Allen, in my opinion, and that's what signifies to me an MVP.
00:07:00
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I like the fact that he he took it on himself. He didn't blame Marc Andrews. But yeah, another another rough year for the Ravens at the end of the season. ah Fab,
Commanders Triumph over Lions: Jayden Daniels Shines
00:07:10
Roger Emeka
you have ah have a final final word?
00:07:10
Fabio
Last thing, last thing, after Jayden Daniels, after after his game against Detroit, I, you guys, I don't know, man, like he looks like, like, if,
00:07:12
Roger Emeka
Better be good.
00:07:17
Roger Emeka
so i was just gonna so so So that's a great segue, because I was just going to say, Jaden Daniels has to be the best rookie QB of all time. right like It's bar none without a question.
00:07:29
Nacc
I don't think it's close.
00:07:30
Fabio
ah if, especially if he wins this weekend and actually gets to the server bowl as a rookie, it's, it is done.
00:07:38
Nacc
I think he still thinks the best of all time and he could lose this weekend.
00:07:43
Fabio
and I still go back to like Big Ben's rookie season to be honest with you about like how well how he did and not, you know.
00:07:47
Nacc
Yeah, but stats wise, stats wise, it wasn't good and he had a top five defense. Washington's finished 18th.
00:07:53
Fabio
Yeah.
00:07:54
Nacc
That was like the differences. Yeah, sure, he won games, but he was throwing for 123 yards a game, you know?
00:07:59
Roger Emeka
So the the top QB rating, sorry not QB, rat ah quarterback rating for rookies of all time, Dak Prescott had a 1-0, and obviously QB rating is in the end all be all, but just to give you some perspective, Dak Prescott 2016, 105 QB rating, 3600 yards, 23 TDs, 4 INTs, RG3 had a really good year, obviously Stroud had a really good year as well, we know.
00:08:10
Fabio
Yeah.
00:08:23
Roger Emeka
Russell Wilson in 2012, that was one of the better seasons, 26 TDs, 10 INTs. But I think if you just factor in, he's in the NFC championship game and he beat the Lions.
00:08:34
Nacc
Yeah, that's that's wild.
00:08:35
Fabio
Yeah.
00:08:35
Roger Emeka
He beat he beat a Bucks team that I think most people thought he was going to lose to, especially Fab, who's been on Baker Mayfield's ass all year.
00:08:35
Fabio
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:42
Fabio
Well rightfully so man. He's having a great season.
00:08:45
Roger Emeka
Rightfully so.
00:08:46
Fabio
Get out of here.
00:08:47
Roger Emeka
Rightfully so.
00:08:47
Nacc
Well, then then also made the the championship game in his rookie year.
00:08:47
Roger Emeka
but
00:08:50
Roger Emeka
Yes, yes, I was just gonna say, yeah thank you for keeping me honest on Steelers, on Steelers fandom NAC, but no, i think I think we'd all have to agree, like, especially, if even if he doesn't win.
00:08:54
Fabio
Keeping us honest with Steelers stats.
00:09:00
Nacc
It's.
00:09:01
Fabio
It's one of if not the best rookie season
Aggressive Strategy: Commanders vs Lions
00:09:03
Fabio
of all time. Yeah, for sure.
00:09:03
Roger Emeka
even if and And the thing is everyone was saying how the the the commanders, the supporting cast was going to be bad. We're all saying how Caleb Williams had the best situation of any Ricky QB ever, not let alone this year.
00:09:16
Roger Emeka
And it was the commanders, it was new ownership, Dan Snyder, this and that. And my God, his moxie, like he's so
00:09:23
Nacc
cliff kingsbury man
00:09:24
Fabio
Yep.
00:09:25
Roger Emeka
Kingsbury for sure, but Daniels is so unflappable. You see him, he looks like nothing phases him whatsoever. um so and And that game was just just an amazing game plan, amazing game from Daniels. Is there anything that stood out to you guys um in the Lions Commander's matchup, aside from Daniels?
00:09:47
Nacc
I think the fact that, like, the lines were just punched in the mouth and just couldn't get back up like it was just okay. I did mention it in in our chat that they had a lot of injuries on defense to overcome, which is huge and especially getting down to this time of the year but man, oh man, they they did not have an answer for Jayden Daniels and that Washington offense. And then they just went for it on fourth down, I think it looked like every single time. And just when you thought they'd kick a field goal, it sends the ah offense back out there. I love the aggressiveness. That's what i I took upon from, from, from the game, the aggressiveness to win instead of playing to not lose. And ultimately like it's working for them and they're definitely gonna, I feel like they're going to keep that going for sure.
00:10:33
Fabio
Their defense really showed up they had their they had their rookie safety that was really that that they made a Huge impact on the entire game like winning the turnover battle.
00:10:34
Roger Emeka
Yes.
00:10:40
Fabio
I think would golf at three ints in one fumble So that right there it's gonna it's always gonna put you in a in a fantastic position to succeed Um, you gotta win the takeaway battles, especially in in in the playoffs and doing that in detroit against a team like the lions right now, I mean Yeah, it was ah it it was more of a statement win than anything else, I feel like, especially from a defensive standpoint, because, like, Mac, you hit it, right? Like, their defense isn't exactly, you can't crown them as a best defense this year. But they showed up when they needed to, they game plan appropriately, and they're going to do the exact same thing against the Eagles this week, quite frankly.
00:11:15
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I thought, I thought Ben Johnson lost him that game, to be honest, he should have kept running the ball with Jamir Gibbs, and then he got too ahead of himself.
00:11:20
Fabio
Yeah.
00:11:24
Roger Emeka
I don't know if it got too cute, not not, and it's not just the Jameson Williams play but just throwing it throwing it throwing it and
00:11:24
Nacc
They got too cute, man.
00:11:34
Roger Emeka
I think they, I was listening to a podcast today and lot of a lot of people were saying they should have played ball control. They should have seen how much Jaden Daniels was marching down the field, scoring at will, scoring fast, and they tried to match him score for score. And yet if they had just stuck to the run, they would have controlled the ball, controlled the ball, less Jaden Daniels on the field and given their defense a chance. They weren't giving their defense a chance, depleted defense. So.
00:11:59
Nacc
It's crazy to say that keep Jaden Daniels off the field.
00:11:59
Roger Emeka
um Yeah, I know yeah, I know I know nuts nuts any Yeah, anything anything regarding I mean Chiefs Texans I think that's Mahomes just flopping all the time.
00:12:02
Nacc
We're talking about a rookie.
00:12:02
Fabio
Yeah.
00:12:03
Nacc
You know, it's crazy to to hear that.
00:12:03
Fabio
Yeah. It's true though, man. It's true.
00:12:05
Nacc
No, for sure. But I'm just it's it's crazy to hear.
00:12:15
Roger Emeka
That's super. I can't I can't take it anymore. I'm a Mahomes like the embellishment Yeah I
00:12:17
Nacc
That one was that one was bad.
00:12:17
Fabio
Yeah. That I feel like, yeah.
00:12:19
Nacc
I really I did not like that one when it was on the sideline where he like fell over kind of thing like you saw I was clear embellishment.
00:12:25
Roger Emeka
love it
00:12:27
Fabio
Well, he's gonna get, he's gonna get those 50 50 calls now for like the rest of his career, but like stuff like that.
00:12:27
Nacc
ah That one was bad.
00:12:31
Roger Emeka
He's going to get an ACL. He's going to get an ACL.
00:12:32
Fabio
It's, it's, we don't, we don't wish for injuries on the spot cast, but, uh,
00:12:33
Roger Emeka
I don't want to sound like Guido, but he's going to get an ACL one of these days. I don't think there's much to talk about that game.
00:12:42
Roger Emeka
It's chiefs being chiefs. Any final thoughts before we get into the previews on the egos and rams?
00:12:46
Fabio
wait, just one last thing.
00:12:48
Nacc
Well, just that game, just that on that one game, he broke he broke the record, Jerry Rice's record, most 100 yard games in the playoffs, Travis Kelce.
00:12:50
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:12:58
Fabio
I feel like the Texans, I feel like the Texans lost that game more than the Chiefs wanted.
00:12:59
Nacc
Pretty significant.
00:13:00
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:13:02
Fabio
to I feel like they're special teams.
00:13:04
Nacc
ah
00:13:05
Fabio
Uh, listen, they missed those two field goals, which would have made a difference. And they're spending, they got that big and I'm saying it's the chiefs are not as scary as people's make them out to believe.
00:13:09
Nacc
No.
00:13:10
Roger Emeka
They weren't winning. They weren't going to win that game.
00:13:13
Roger Emeka
The Texans were not going to win that game at all.
00:13:14
Fabio
I think Texans are not a great team.
00:13:16
Nacc
but what makes the chief scary is that they win one score games and they've won what 16 straight games now are like one score games like it that make that's a scary team I'm sorry
00:13:22
Fabio
Yeah. But that, that trend has to buck at some point. Oh man. That trend has a buck at some point.
00:13:27
Roger Emeka
um It's the playoffs
Chiefs' Narrow Victory over Texans
00:13:29
Roger Emeka
teams aren't supposed to be high scoring and unless it's the commanders and lions like otherwise one score games are kind of the norm and They've done they've done it so much.
00:13:29
Nacc
yeah man
00:13:36
Nacc
and they windows
00:13:38
Fabio
ah that This game was closer than I expected it was gonna be to be honest with you.
00:13:38
Roger Emeka
I give them benefit of the doubt Go ahead. Sorry. Sorry
00:13:43
Fabio
I Was gonna say the Chiefs in the Texans that game was a lot closer than I expected it to be like I know like they win my one score games and all that stuff, but No, I think Houston Houston left Houston left a lot of points on the field Yeah, but Houston left a lot of points on the field that would have been a much different scenario if they would have converted when he
00:13:51
Nacc
Well, I mean they were up by 11 before that safety. That's that's pretty big deficit.
00:13:59
Nacc
Yeah, but you can say that about every team, right? When you when you play.
00:14:02
Fabio
Yeah, but we're they're playing, but you're playing the Chiefs though. You're playing the number one seed, right? Like it's this number one seed now that says like, oh, they, you know, no, they weren't, but it was a lot closer than, than the score, than the score.
00:14:08
Nacc
Yeah, Houston was never winning that game, bro.
00:14:11
Roger Emeka
fab fab how much how much did this hurt how much did this hurt though let's move on let's move on to the game that let's move on to the game i really fab how much did this seeing sekwon do this i got so fired up when he was just like hitting his head oh that was so cool man oh that was so cool man i love that

Fabio
He's so hard to hate.
00:14:34
Nacc
He's a mutant.
00:14:36
Fabio
And the people that do hate him, like, reevaluate your life because he's such a fantastic pro on and off the field, man, even if he plays for the Eagles, honestly.
00:14:42
Roger Emeka
Who hates him?
00:14:44
Nacc
Daniel Jones and Shepard were there to watch him.

Fabio
Dude, man, what does that say about the guy? Like, come on, like, I don't just, anyways.

00:14:58
Nacc
i can't believe that I don't want to pay sake 113 million dollars all right but I mean
00:15:03
Fabio
He was never going to perform that way with the Giants, though. But mind you, it's a different conversation from another day. He was never going to put up 2,000 yards with the Giants, please. Never going to put up 2,000 yards with the Giants.
00:15:15
Roger Emeka
ah No, no, no.
00:15:16
Fabio
Never.
00:15:17
Roger Emeka
Unless we had lost three more games and gotten Jaden Daniels, maybe we would've...
00:15:21
Fabio
Yeah, thanks, Tommy DeVito.
00:15:22
Roger Emeka
Let's move on.
00:15:23
Fabio
If you're listening, thank you.
00:15:26
Roger Emeka
So first NFC Championship game we're going to preview obviously commanders at
Commanders vs Eagles: NFC Championship Preview
00:15:30
Roger Emeka
Eagles. The early line has the Eagles favored by five and a half. Eagles have won three of the last four matchups only by an average of five points. So this line actually makes a lot of sense and they split the season series one, one each game. Fab, I'll start with you. What are some of your keys to the victory, to to victory on either side of the ball?
00:15:53
Fabio
Uh, okay. So, uh, Washington run defense is, is very not good. Uh, so I think the key for, for Philly, for Philly to win this game is going to be basically what they've been doing the entire post-season, which is just handed off to Saquon Barkley. Uh, Washington ranked 28th in TDs, uh, to running backs and they're ranked 32nd in average yards before contact.
00:16:15
Fabio
I mean, they're not very strong up in the middle either. ah so i this is their key to This is their key to victory, in my opinion. and Plus, I think Hurts, downplaying whatever injury he has, Hurts is going to have to throw for more than 118 yards a game to do anything, quite frankly.
00:16:33
Fabio
um you know the
00:16:35
Roger Emeka
you'd you like You'd say so, but then Josh Allen had 123, right? like I feel like the running back is back in the NFL right now. Teams are relying on the run. And ive and and sorry to cut you off, but I feel like I was a bit hard on hurts.
00:16:45
Fabio
Took a point. No, that's a good point.
00:16:49
Roger Emeka
It's like, what are you doing? like Can you actually win win the ball game? But the Eagles are relying on what they do best. So it's natural that he doesn't need to win the game. It's natural that they don't have to throw the ball that much.
00:16:59
Roger Emeka
so
00:17:00
Fabio
That that is a good point. However Yeah, then I can then I can come back and say that you know washing up a very good offense, but sort of the rams Uh, yeah, I know I I got what you're saying I don't disagree with you on that but I just feel like I mean you gotta I don't know I feel like he's playing injured and I and I they might have to rely on that a little bit more in my opinion Plus they play they play a lot of man washington and they should start playing zone a little bit more which is you know gonna going to reduce the chances of jail and hurts having any sort of any sort of a game and even AJ Brown to who's ranked very well versus man. Washington play the eighth most man. You know, obviously limit say one Barkley, they have to get to Jean and Daniels who's super elusive, like they're not gonna be able to sack him five times. I don't think so like they did with Matthew Stafford.
00:17:47
Roger Emeka
jan Jalen, Jalen Cardam was as a dog, man. Like he was an amazing in that game.
00:17:50
Nacc
It was a beast. He was a beast.
00:17:51
Fabio
100% but you see that you guys just mentioned it before you saw you saw dinos how he is in the pocket You can't he has the moxie.
00:17:51
Roger Emeka
Two, two, two sacks for his fumble.
00:17:58
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:17:58
Fabio
You can't rattle the guy He hasn't taken a single. He's taking one sack in two games
00:18:05
Roger Emeka
Nock, what do you think? What are some of your keys?
00:18:08
Nacc
Yeah, basically for the commanders to win this game um or for the Eagles to win this game, should I say rather, can they force the commanders into three and third and longs?
00:18:20
Nacc
because on the year right now, they have a 87% conversion rate on 4th down to the commanders, which is absolutely insane.
00:18:29
Fabio
Yeah, it's stupid.
00:18:31
Nacc
The the stat does not make any sense.
00:18:31
Fabio
Yeah.
00:18:34
Nacc
87%, for those of you who didn't hear that, conversion rate on 4th down.
00:18:36
Fabio
yeah
00:18:38
Nacc
So you got to believe anything 4th and 3, or even 4th and 4 and shorter, the commanders will be going for it. And I would not be surprised if they even went for fourth downs on their side of the field, hovering towards that 35, 40 yard line. um So that's a big key, big, big, big key for the Eagles. And can they contain damn Daniels on the run? So he's had 13 rush attempts in in the wildcard weekend and 16 actually last weekend. And he's out rushing running backs right now on his on his team and in terms of in terms of yards and attempts.
00:19:13
Nacc
Um, and he had 81 on the ground in the last meeting versus the Eagles, um, this year. So obviously they weren't able to continue. I think that was on nine attempts as well. So, um, he had some pretty big chunk plays and he actually had, it was at that last drive.
00:19:28
Nacc
Remember the last drive to win the game. and He put the team on his back and he had some big time throws and some big rushes on that, uh, on that, uh, on that drive.
00:19:32
Roger Emeka
Yes.
00:19:33
Fabio
Yeah.
00:19:38
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:19:39
Nacc
And honestly, for the commanders to win, it's, uh, look, uh, we, we alluded to it fab, uh, it's, it stops sake one Barkley. That's their game plan. They are going to run sake one Barkley upwards of 29 to 30 times, uh, a game. And he had 146 yards and 150 yards with two touchdowns in each games against the commanders this year. So, um, he's seen success first them. And I think that's going to be one of the main keys to stop, um, for the commanders to win.
00:20:11
Fabio
Um, just want to add, cause me the right guard. They're starting right guard. He's out for the season. He tore his MCL for the Washington commanders. I think that's going to be a big, big issue for them. Uh, cause he was, uh, I don't know if he made the, I think he made the pro bowl, uh, but I'm not sure if he made all pro, but he was, he was, they're starting guard for the entire season. He was playing very, very well. And, uh, they, he's out for the whole season. He's out for the rest of the playoffs with a torn ACL. So it's going to be a big problem for Washington.
00:20:39
Roger Emeka
So that's a great point, Fab, because I think Detroit lost this game because they sent too much blitz, because they can't get pressure with four. And I think that's the main key for the Eagles, which they've been able to do all year.
00:20:51
Roger Emeka
They can get pressure with four guys.
00:20:52
Fabio
Yeah.
00:20:53
Roger Emeka
If you try to blitz Daniels, he's either gonna run for the first down, because all the defensive backs are turned their backs are turned to the quarterback and they're just running down the field to wide receivers.
00:21:02
Fabio
Yep.
00:21:04
Roger Emeka
Or he dropped it to Maclaurin. He dropped the pass to Demani Brown. like I think it was in the second quarter. That was like the throw of the game, right? So to me, that's the main key.
00:21:12
Nacc
Yeah.
00:21:12
Fabio
Yeah.
00:21:14
Roger Emeka
If they could actually pressure him with four, play some zone. have a spy, I think they can contain him. And personally, I trust Fangio more.
00:21:26
Roger Emeka
I hate to say it, but I trust even Nick Sariani and Kellen Moore more than Ben Johnson, who to me, it's just, I feel like Moore will stick to the game plan. They will run. They have no choice.
00:21:37
Roger Emeka
They know they have Saquon Barkley.
00:21:39
Fabio
hundred percent.
00:21:39
Roger Emeka
They know that they could just run him 20 to 25, 30 times down their throat.
00:21:41
Nacc
in it.
00:21:43
Roger Emeka
And they're not going to waver on it. They have not wavered on it all season.
00:21:46
Nacc
No, but in a shootout, man, you hate to say it, but I would give I would give the edge to to the rookie engine and Daniels in ah in in a shootout like like hurts is I don't think he's going to be able to keep up with with Daniels if he starts scoring at will and actually cool stat.
00:21:54
Fabio
Oh, a hundred percent.
00:21:55
Roger Emeka
Yeah, don't hate him, I agree.
00:21:56
Fabio
A hundred percent.
00:22:00
Roger Emeka
He's... I all agreed.
00:22:01
Fabio
No.
00:22:04
Nacc
He wrote team in the playoffs this year is two and eight and Washington has those two victories.
00:22:10
Fabio
That's a very nice thought.
00:22:11
Nacc
Yeah. All the other teams are, um, are done.
00:22:14
Roger Emeka
So, Naq, where are you leaning based off that last key stan?
00:22:18
Nacc
Oh, I'm, I'm taking the, the points a hundred percent, five and a half. I will take the points and run with those. Um, I don't think, look, Philly could still win. I'm not going to say that they're, they're, they're, they're, they're no slouch. Like they're, they're a legit team, legit contender for the super bowl. I think the odds came out today and they are the favorite as of right now, even over the chiefs.
00:22:41
Fabio
Wow.
00:22:41
Nacc
um but I like this game to be close, man. It's going to be one of those last possession type of games, kick a field goal to win. And who knows who's going to, who's the quarterback that's going to come out clutch. But man, dinos is, you got to love what he's doing. And to put up 45 on the lions in their, in their house, like that's saying something. And I think as we alluded to it, um he looks poised and he he does not look flustered ever. He looks like a seasoned vet, like,
00:23:09
Nacc
ah I don't know, if you're giving me five and a half points I will take that and run all day long.
00:23:17
Fabio
Quignon Mitchell. He's about 50 50 to play this week. Okay. I guess not guaranteed. So I think that also gives that would give an edge to, to, to Jaden dinos, but it's a plus hurts is still hurt.
00:23:29
Fabio
Pun intended. Um, I like, I'll take the commander straight up.
00:23:32
Roger Emeka
It's bad. It's very bad.
00:23:34
Fabio
I know the Eagles haven't allowed 23.
00:23:35
Roger Emeka
Well, get out of here, dude.
00:23:36
Fabio
Yeah.
00:23:37
Roger Emeka
I did that last week. Get out of here.
00:23:39
Fabio
Why? Okay. Fine. I'll take the commander's fine. I'll take the commands to beat the spread.
00:23:43
Roger Emeka
um
00:23:45
Fabio
Okay. Jamie Daniels completing 70% of his passes. Let's go. Uh, but mind you, the Eagles haven't allowed 23 points, uh, to score on them since week five. So that's, that's my only concern, but I don't know, man, the commanders feel destined a little bit, uh, road warriors and all that stuff. Uh, fun fact, since we're talking about fun facts, this is the first time since 1986 that the NFC championship game is between two NFC East teams.
00:24:13
Roger Emeka
Since what, 1996?
00:24:13
Nacc
Interesting.
00:24:14
Fabio
1986.
00:24:16
Roger Emeka
That was the Eagles and Giants, right?
00:24:18
Fabio
I, sure.
00:24:18
Nacc
Your
00:24:19
Fabio
Yes. Let's go with that.
00:24:22
Nacc
research.
00:24:24
Roger Emeka
Just take it up a notch.
00:24:24
Fabio
Joe research just came up with the stat.
00:24:26
Roger Emeka
just like it It's also it's also ah the, what is it?
00:24:26
Fabio
Joe research came up with the stat. Yeah. Yeah. Eagles and Giants. Yeah. Eagles and Giants. A hundred percent, obviously. The year of my birth. Who said that?
00:24:37
Roger Emeka
is it Is it the 28th straight NSC championship that does not feature the Dallas Cowboys? 1996?
00:24:43
Nacc
Oh, on on on that note, I so i saw a nice stat today that said both Jaden Daniels and Hertz were born, lived their lives and made it to the NFC Championship before the Cowboys did.
00:24:45
Roger Emeka
29th, 21th.
00:24:55
Nacc
Again.
00:24:57
Roger Emeka
They will both have kids and there's their kids will have kids.
00:25:01
Fabio
and And those kids will also go to the industry championship game.
00:25:03
Nacc
It's also the they're the last team. Was it the Cowboys or the last team not to make it in the last whatever years it was? What was that stat? Every single NFC team has made a championship appearance in the last.
00:25:16
Nacc
I don't I don't remember what it was.
00:25:16
Roger Emeka
Yeah, it's since 2010, 2010, yeah.
00:25:17
Nacc
What was it 2010? There you go. Since 2010, there's every NFC team has made it but now because the commanders made it now.
00:25:21
Roger Emeka
Yeah, that was the Bears.
00:25:22
Fabio
Wow.
00:25:25
Fabio
Wow, that's sad.
00:25:26
Nacc
So every team since the 2010 has made an appearance except for the Cowboys.
00:25:29
Roger Emeka
That's really impressive.
00:25:30
Fabio
ah That's a stat.
00:25:30
Roger Emeka
That's actually really impressive. It shows you the parity in the NFC versus the AFC.
00:25:34
Fabio
True.
00:25:34
Roger Emeka
I'm gonna go Eagles minus five and a half. Again, I mentioned last week, the Eagles have a 10 point scoring margin on the year. And good point mentioning Quinnon Mitchell. mitchell we haven't mentioned We didn't mention the secondary at all for the Eagles, but I felt they played really well despite Stafford getting 324 yards.
00:25:51
Fabio
They did. Yeah.
00:25:54
Roger Emeka
That was like a really tough 324 yards. Um, for prop bed since I did my, go ahead and act. Sorry.
00:26:01
Nacc
Yeah, I just want to say they were about 17 yards away from collapse, the Eagles. People forget, right? Like they let them come down the field and then got the ball back.
00:26:07
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:26:08
Fabio
Yeah.
00:26:10
Nacc
And they were and there was a penalty that could have easily been called on on the Eagles on that on that last drive that wasn't. They were 17 yards away from collapse at home. so
00:26:21
Roger Emeka
to that point that's what I felt the drive before the well the driver where they had to punt it that's where it hurts I felt should have done a little bit more he he didn't do enough in that drive
00:26:29
Nacc
Yeah.
00:26:31
Roger Emeka
go
00:26:33
Fabio
I just want to say, we're not mentioning the weather at all here and the weather played a huge factor for Philly. And I don't know if they're going to be as lucky this time around because Washington, typically do play in cold conditions as well, right?
00:26:43
Fabio
Whereas LA, not really, they play in LA. And you saw a lot of, you you saw a lot of mishandled fumbles, you saw a lot of handoffs that didn't do well. you saw it I think its it was, um Like home field advantage right now really play plays in their favor.
00:26:59
Fabio
And that type of that, the type of game that they do play plays very well in cold weather conditions. Um, I just felt like that, that build them up a little bit, just like similar to next point there.
00:27:09
Fabio
I don't know if they're going to be as lucky this time around.
00:27:10
Roger Emeka
it's It's fair, it's fair, but Daniels has already run two road games as a rookie.
00:27:16
Fabio
Well, I'm still counting.
00:27:17
Roger Emeka
The weather is a different animal.
00:27:17
Fabio
I'm still, I'm still pinning Daniels to win here.
00:27:20
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:27:20
Fabio
Uh, my, I got my commander's money line bet over here going on.
00:27:24
Roger Emeka
So, quickly, quickly guys, the prop bets, I'm going to go Saquon Barkley, two TDs plus two 40.
00:27:30
Nacc
Wow.
00:27:32
Roger Emeka
He's had four TDs against the colonies this year, two in each game.
00:27:35
Nacc
Yes, two of these came in.
00:27:36
Roger Emeka
Yeah. Fab.
00:27:39
Fabio
Is that their nickname, the commies?
00:27:41
Roger Emeka
Who calls them the Commies? Is it McAfee?
00:27:43
Fabio
You just did them twice.
00:27:45
Roger Emeka
No, but like I heard i got someone, I listened to a podcast that called, Commies is comm really worse?
00:27:46
Fabio
Can we just go back to the Redskins, please? This makes sense easier.
00:27:55
Fabio
Calling a team, a bunch of communists. I would think so. We're not getting into politics though. Like Donald Trump just got inaugurated.
00:28:00
Roger Emeka
I wasn't even thinking of communism.
00:28:01
Fabio
It's fine. Um.
00:28:02
Roger Emeka
ah Fab, what's your problem?
00:28:04
Fabio
ah Jalen hurts under 183 83 and a half passing yards paying minus 10. Since week 11, he's only passed over 180 yards once.
00:28:12
Roger Emeka
Hmm, yeah, I heard my yeah 110 I heard minus 10.
00:28:13
Fabio
um
00:28:13
Nacc
I mean 110, maybe.
00:28:16
Fabio
I said I know I said minus 110.
00:28:19
Nacc
I heard minus 10, but it's OK.
00:28:21
Fabio
I'm sorry, minus 110.
00:28:22
Roger Emeka
I heard minus minus 10 as well, but I just I figured it was yeah, yeah What do you want money?
00:28:22
Fabio
My bad. I'm excited, guys. What do you want me to tell you? um And I also have Austin neck cooler.
00:28:28
Roger Emeka
Joe money line?
00:28:28
Fabio
If it's okay, if I can do a second one.
00:28:30
Roger Emeka
No, it's not We gotta keep rolling.
00:28:32
Fabio
Okay, I'm just gonna move on.
00:28:33
Roger Emeka
What is it? I'll clear.
00:28:34
Fabio
ah Rushing and receiving 75 plus yards paying plus 375.
00:28:34
Roger Emeka
Yeah
00:28:38
Fabio
He went 8 for 89 versus Plus 375.
00:28:39
Nacc
Oh, 75.
00:28:43
Fabio
Yeah Yeah
00:28:43
Roger Emeka
Just go with that one.
00:28:44
Nacc
No, but he needs 75 yards? Wow, that's that's a lot.
00:28:47
Roger Emeka
Yeah, he's not getting that, man.
00:28:48
Nacc
and I don't think he's getting that.
00:28:48
Roger Emeka
The Eagles run defense is really good.
00:28:49
Fabio
Rushing and receiving so he went 8 for 89 just off receiving against Philly in week 11 and he totaled 88 yards last week versus Detroit.
00:28:55
Nacc
Interesting.
00:28:57
Fabio
So Yeah, some not not impossible a little bit more
00:28:58
Nacc
OK, so good value then.
00:28:59
Roger Emeka
Nice. Nice.
00:29:01
Nacc
You did some more research. I like it.
00:29:06
Roger Emeka
He buried the lead as well. Mack, what's your prop bet?
00:29:11
Nacc
ah My prop that is Jaden Daniels over 10 and a half rushes. As I mentioned earlier, he's averaging 14.5 rushes per game in the playoffs, so I think he definitely goes over that again on Sunday.
00:29:27
Roger Emeka
Very good. Can't wait for this one. And then we have these.
00:29:29
Fabio
Wait, what does it pay out?
00:29:31
Nacc
ah Sorry payout is minus 135.
00:29:36
Roger Emeka
On the ball fab on the ball.
00:29:38
Fabio
Someone has to be Jesus.
00:29:39
Nacc
Here we go.
00:29:40
Roger Emeka
Can't wait for, can't wait for this one. It's going to be fun. Both games are going to be amazing.
00:29:44
Fabio
Yeah.
00:29:44
Roger Emeka
Then we have the AFC
Chiefs vs Bills: AFC Championship Preview
00:29:46
Roger Emeka
championship. This is the fourth meeting between the Bills and Chiefs. This is Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder again, Arturo Gaddy, Mickey Ward.
00:29:56
Roger Emeka
The Chiefs opening as one and a half point favorites. Bills won the previous game this season, 30 to 21. Bills have won the last of three regular season games. Chiefs have won the last three playoff matchups.
00:30:10
Roger Emeka
Knack. Our resident Bill's fan.
00:30:17
Roger Emeka
Joey Josh Allen.
00:30:18
Nacc
and honestly that Mikey's here is can the bills continue not turning the ball over?
00:30:26
Fabio
And.
00:30:42
Nacc
No turnovers in the past nine games. So ah that was the knock on Josh Allen last year. Way too many turnovers, interceptions, fumbles. And this year he has um kept the ball and he's he's he's protecting the ball.
00:30:57
Nacc
And I think i don't don't know if you guys saw that play where he rushed the goal line. I think there were about three yards out. He got turned around and he was about to flip the ball to James Cook.
00:31:06
Roger Emeka
Yep.
00:31:07
Nacc
what old josh allen or last year's josh allen may have done that done something stupid and
00:31:26
Nacc
and then for For the Chiefs, it's going to be Kenma Holmes and Kelsey continue their playoff dominance. um As I mentioned at the beginning of the pod, ah Kelsey just broke gar Jerry Rice's record for most 100-yard games in a postseason with nine. That was his ninth 100-yard game. And he has 172 catches, 2,020 yards, and 20 TDs in 23 playoff games. That is ridiculous in in stats-wise. and Just when you thought this guy couldn't play anymore and and you know like I would never draft him in the first round in fantasy but when it comes to playoffs I think I would draft him first overall almost.
00:32:06
Roger Emeka
one word No one would.
00:32:07
Nacc
um Yeah well some people would.
00:32:07
Roger Emeka
No one would.
00:32:10
Nacc
um but he's just in the playoffs. He just comes alive. And and I think Roger alluded to it last week, they kind of maybe like held them back
Josh Allen's Growth: Minimizing Turnovers
00:32:20
Nacc
purposely for these playoffs and like, and just like they just load managed him in a way exactly playing.
00:32:20
Roger Emeka
Kind of. They load manage them and...
00:32:22
Fabio
for sure.
00:32:23
Roger Emeka
they well joy impede
00:32:27
Nacc
Well, not, not to that extreme that guy.
00:32:29
Fabio
They dwell and beat them.
00:32:29
Nacc
yeah
00:32:29
Roger Emeka
um Tim Duncan circa 36 years old.
00:32:33
Nacc
Yeah. And then just one last thing could they contain Alan ah running basically he had 55 yards and a touchdown in their previous matchup this year so can they contain him and keep him in the pocket ah rather than walking and and running around the field so um I've got the Chiefs minus one and a half I just can't bet against them and it's just the until until the dragon is slayed it's tough for me to put money on the opposing team, although I do think Baltimore has a great chance to beat them.
00:33:03
Nacc
I think this is the year, if any year, what did I say?
00:33:05
Roger Emeka
below
00:33:05
Fabio
Buffalo, Baltimore.
00:33:07
Roger Emeka
baltimore
00:33:08
Nacc
Baltimore, ah Buffalo. I think this is the this is the year. like He's got to get over the hump. I think he's got a good chance to do it, but I just wouldn't bet against Mahomes in the AFC Championship.
00:33:22
Roger Emeka
Great analysis. Fab, what do you think?
Chiefs' Defensive Strategy against Buffalo
00:33:24
Fabio
ah Well, for the Chiefs, it's three-fold. First, you've got to increase the bribes for the refs. You've got to offer free tickets for the Swifties, and Jackson Mahomes has to have an halftime show.
00:33:34
Fabio
I think that's really going to make a big difference. No, I'm kidding.
00:33:37
Roger Emeka
Where?
00:33:37
Fabio
Their pass has to play a little bit better ah for the Chiefs at least. Despite Stroud getting sacked eight times last week, he still threw for like 245 yards. ah the Chiefs are going to have to live in the middle of the field. ah Short passes where Buffalo D is especially poor. To Knack's point, it's going to be the Kelsey and Mahomes show. I feel like it builds D is very soft versus the tight ends. They're ranked 27 versus tight ends. um Chiefs have better defense, better special teams, better coaching than Buffalo. I think those are all going to be major, major factors for their win.
00:34:10
Fabio
For the bills, ah I mean just like Jalen Hurts, Josh has to throw the ball a little bit more, right? um But the fact that he's super elusive in the pocket, we all know this. Hold on, what do I have over here? Chiefs get pressure eighth highest rate.
00:34:25
Fabio
ah In the NFL, but Allen has 406 scramble yards this season, which is third best among quarterbacks, right? So um I'm not too concerned about the pressure for Casey just because I think Josh Allen's be able to match that appropriately.
00:34:36
Fabio
and Turnover battle is huge. Honestly, where's Amari Cooper? Can someone tell me where where that guy is? Like in two games, it was like three receptions.
00:34:42
Roger Emeka
Don't need them.
00:34:43
Fabio
I guess not, eh?
00:34:44
Roger Emeka
They don't need them.
00:34:45
Fabio
I guess not.
00:34:45
Roger Emeka
They're running team land.
00:34:45
Fabio
he's he's They're Deontay Johnson-ing him.
00:34:48
Nacc
and He spreads the ball man, like.
00:34:48
Fabio
like i what He does.
00:34:49
Roger Emeka
Yeah, it's cool.
00:34:50
Fabio
No, no, no.
00:34:50
Nacc
Apart from clear Shakir that gets over like five catches a game, like the rest is not like Curtis Samuel got a couple of key ones.
00:34:55
Fabio
Yeah.
00:34:57
Fabio
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:34:58
Nacc
um Mark Cooper had well one catch.
00:35:01
Roger Emeka
So actually, that's a great segue. That's my key is, can the Chiefs make Josh Allen be the old Josh Allen? Where, to your point, Nack, he spreads it. He doesn't go big game hunting. This year, more than enter any, it's yards after catch. It's short throws, short throws. Let Shakir run with it. Let so Samuel run with it. If he needs a bomb, he'll go to Coleman here and there. And again, Cooper hasn't really been a factor at all.
00:35:26
Roger Emeka
But another thing I'm just curious about is, is Spaggs going to send as much pressure as he did with Stroud? Stroud got sacked what, eight times?
00:35:33
Fabio
eight times.
00:35:33
Nacc
it was eight or nine times yeah
00:35:34
Roger Emeka
Eight or nine times, but obviously we know how bad the Texans offensive line is. Is he going to want to send pressure to speed up Allen? Is that the right course of action, knowing that he could scramble, knowing that he's willing to take the check down?
00:35:46
Fabio
Yep.
00:35:47
Roger Emeka
I don't see him reverting back to the old Josh Allen with interceptions, but I think a game this close, it's going to be the turnover battle.
00:35:50
Fabio
Yep.
00:35:54
Roger Emeka
Kelsey against the bills, 26 catches, 289 yards, five TDs in the playoffs against the bills. Like if they stop him, I think they win.
00:36:05
Nacc
i'm I'm sure he has that's that satellite against every team.
00:36:07
Roger Emeka
Yeah. If, if, if they, if they stop, if they stop them, they win.
00:36:09
Fabio
Yeah.
00:36:10
Nacc
He's he's ridiculous.
00:36:14
Roger Emeka
Fab, what's your pick?
00:36:15
Fabio
ah So despite all that, I'm picking the bills to win. ah Moneyline, let's go. I going with my heart over my mind. I know everyone likes the Chiefs, they their deaths in team, but not ah Josh Allen. I think he's going to win one out. I want him to win and he's going to win because I said so and that's it. They're going to force a turnover battle like they did against Baltimore. They're going to make, the they're going to make Chiefs make some mistakes. The bills are going to win. The bills are going to win. The bills are going to win.
00:36:44
Nacc
Nothing to do with him having Josh Allen in his playoff pool though, ladies and gentlemen.
00:36:49
Fabio
I don't know what you're talking about. Why, frankly, I have no idea which to what you're referring to. Do it for me, Josh. Do it for me.
00:36:55
Roger Emeka
I like NAC, I'm gonna go with the Chiefs minus one and a half. I just i just can't pick against them until I actually see it. Once I see it, then maybe I'll change course of action next year, but until then, it's like it's hard to bet against the Chiefs.
00:37:12
Roger Emeka
And in terms of the prop bet, similar to how I did with Saquon, I'm going to go with Travis Kelsey, two TDs plus 850.
00:37:20
Nacc
Wow, that's a big one.
00:37:20
Fabio
Wow.
00:37:21
Roger Emeka
So two out of three games against the Bills and the playoffs, he's had two TDs.
00:37:27
Nacc
I like that one. I think I'm gonna have to bandwagon on that one. That's a good one.
00:37:31
Roger Emeka
Yeah. Fab, what's your prop?
00:37:33
Fabio
I got a I got another Travis Kelsey prop actually. So I got I got a I got a three leg combo prop on Travis Kelsey over six and a half receptions anytime touchdown and over 68 and a half receiving yards all paying plus 320.
00:37:47
Fabio
I don't see how that doesn't cash.
00:37:47
Nacc
That's cute.
00:37:51
Fabio
Six and a half receptions. Anytime touchdown. 68 and a half receiving yards.
00:37:55
Roger Emeka
and And how do you expect me to write that on on our Canva?
00:37:56
Fabio
Don't see how that doesn't cash in.
00:37:59
Fabio
Oh yeah. Okay. So you take the other one. I have another one. i have I'll give you another one. I'll give you another one.
00:38:04
Nacc
but we pick on facts so
00:38:06
Fabio
It's not even fun.
00:38:06
Roger Emeka
I'm kidding. it's It's nice.
00:38:07
Fabio
I have another one. I got another prop net.
00:38:08
Roger Emeka
How is that only still free?
00:38:09
Nacc
you can have seventy five freaking prop bes man
00:38:11
Fabio
I only have two.
00:38:12
Nacc
one
00:38:12
Fabio
Learn how to count.
00:38:12
Nacc
you some for the rest of us
00:38:13
Fabio
Even you. It's because you got a mustache. Now it doesn't mean you can berate me like that. I got a Ray Davis. Anytime touchdown plus 600. He was, uh, he was injured.
00:38:21
Roger Emeka
okay
00:38:22
Fabio
He got concussed in the first game versus Denver. He came back, uh, last game. Uh, he was much more involved in the running ah offense and he got that touchdown. I'm like, you know what? I think that continues. They're going to have to play with.
00:38:31
Nacc
that we pick on that so much that
00:38:33
Roger Emeka
um yeah look I love the running game.
00:38:33
Fabio
Well, I was going to say that they're good. They're going to have to start involving, like they're running backs much more. I feel like to, for, for them to to carve out a decent chance of winning.
00:38:41
Roger Emeka
The running game is beautiful. It's a really nice snack.
00:38:46
Nacc
I have Xavier Worthy 50 Russian receiving yards at minus 155. He had 68 total yards in the first meeting.
00:38:57
Nacc
man as much as i i'd man i as long As much as I would love to see Josh Allen get there and and win one, how cool would it be to see a three-peat like something has never been done?
00:38:57
Roger Emeka
He is going to be
00:39:09
Roger Emeka
i'm running I'm reading for a three-peat, I'm reading it for them to do it, and then I don't want to root for them ever again.
00:39:14
Fabio
Nah, I'm not rooting for a three-peat anymore.
00:39:16
Roger Emeka
um After that, I'm done.
00:39:16
Nacc
wow
00:39:16
Fabio
I, I changed my I'll respect them, but I don't, like, I, I rather, I want the Ghostwood.
00:39:17
Roger Emeka
I don't want them to win anymore.
00:39:17
Nacc
Yeah, I like yeah. Well, I don't know man to win four times in a row like.
00:39:26
Nacc
Imagine they were did they do the reverse Buffalo.
00:39:28
Fabio
Yeah.
00:39:29
Nacc
Win for straight instead of lose for straight, that'd be something.
00:39:33
Roger Emeka
It's the reverse roger to, in theory.
00:39:34
Fabio
Josh Allen can change all that this weekend.
00:39:36
Nacc
The first Raj.
00:39:41
Roger Emeka
Great analysis guys, that was that was really fun. um So i actually we're taping this on on Monday, so this will go out on Thursday. Hopefully there's no injuries, which will change our prop bets. um But yeah, looking forward to the AFC and NFC Championship matchups.
00:39:58
Roger Emeka
Thanks so much for joining us, guys. Really appreciate it. You could always find this on Apple, Spotify, YouTube. TikTok is back, thankfully.

Roger Emeka
um On behalf of Nack, I'm Raj, and on behalf of Fab2.
00:40:23
Fabio
What the hell, man?
00:40:23
Roger Emeka
I'm just um doing this, doing the intro, doing the outro, ah doing the outro ro off of the cuff is is a bit different when I'm reading, but.
00:40:25
Fabio
Jesus.
00:40:30
Fabio
You forget that I'm on the podcast? Wow, guys, this has been fun.
00:40:32
Roger Emeka
Well, it's because you have, you have like 10 parlay, you have 10 parlays and 10 prop beds.
00:40:34
Nacc
we We try.
00:40:36
Roger Emeka
Like dude,
00:40:37
Fabio
Excuse me for being prepared. I even have some random notes that I can't even get to right now, but that's okay. That's fine.
00:40:43
Roger Emeka
oh the floor is yours.
00:40:45
Fabio
The Kirk Cousins curse. Ever heard of that?
00:40:50
Nacc
oh Yeah, youve you you They don't make the Super Bowl or they don't lose the Super Bowl or they don't win the Super Bowl
00:40:50
Fabio
No, Kirk Cousins is a sports superstition that states that no one on the field team that loses to Cousins in the season will win the Super Bowl that year. The curse began when Cousins entered the league in 2012. Examples are, Cousins beat the Packers and the Giants. Giants lost to the Packers in wildcard in 2016. The Packers lost to the Falcons in the NFC Championship. Anyways, all this to say, Cousins beat the the Eagles this year. Ergo, the Eagles will not be making the Super Bowl nor winning it.
00:41:18
Fabio
Well, they don't win the Super Bowl, but I'm also saying they're not going to make it.
00:41:21
Nacc
OK, so he could technically win this weekend then.
00:41:24
Fabio
Yeah, but they're not going to, they're not going to win.
00:41:26
Fabio
Yeah.
00:41:26
Nacc
OK, sorry.
00:41:29
Nacc
Sorry.
00:41:29
Fabio
I'm going to continue.
00:41:30
Nacc
You done? You have another prop bed or something?
00:41:31
Fabio
No, no, no. I'll leave. I'll leave it for the guy who, uh, it's fine. I'll leave it for, for the host.
00:41:36
Roger Emeka
On behalf of NAC and FAB, I'm Raj. Thank you so much for joining, guys. We'll be back the week after with the Super Bowl preview, maybe a Pro Bowl preview, maybe some other fun stuff.
