So read all the fine print, but there you have it welcome to the show we're going to start getting into our picks and before we get into our picks you know what we have to do we have to make my screen not blurry i don't know why there we go and we have to bring in jake the snake uh to talk some injury hey how you doing paul there he is there he is the blinds are closed that's right um yeah so i'll start off i feel like a real doctor almost but i'll start off with the with the bad news first favorite of the show
Starting point is 00:02:22 Nick Bosa is going to be out for the year torn ACL last week against the Cardinals there's going to be a few I know brutal that is going to impact their season they start off three well that's a bad one yeah that's going to be a rough one to replace
Starting point is 00:02:38 for sure they're just Niners last few years seem to be kind of cursed by these big injuries but they have some good news but before we get there I'll mention that there's a few receivers who are going to be out for some time Cowboys C.D. Lamb has a high ankle sprain, probably miss around a month. Mike Evans is probably going to miss around a month as well.
Starting point is 00:02:57 And then Terry McLaurin seems to have some sort of injury. They just haven't announced yet. But there is good news. We have three quarterbacks that are expected to return this week. Jane Daniels from the commanders, Justin Fields from the Jets and Brock Bertie for the Niners. So pretty good news for the Niners. Yeah. So I think, yeah, so hopefully, you know, with those quarterbacks back, that's like a good sign.
Starting point is 00:03:19 for the rest of the year. Hopefully you can keep everybody healthy and hopefully we can get all our picks turned around as well here on anything better. We have to, dude. We have to. October's covered, Paul. That's your bit, that's your month. Historically, for sure. You don't fade Paul in October. That's what we know on anything better. Listen, you know, we, we, whatever, I'm two and ten, eight games back or nine games back. It's terrible. But look, we got, we, We got a bunch of weeks left. That's a lot of injuries, dude. That's the most, I think, we've ever had on the show.
Starting point is 00:03:56 It feels like it. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's just, it's just shame. These guys are bigger, faster, stronger, and therefore, you just hit each other harder and lower. And, you know, you get these extreme injuries. So hopefully, hopefully everyone, you know, kind of got for the first month of the season and maybe we'll, you know, have better health moving forward. That's kind of, that's always the hope, you know. All right, guys. So before we get into Bill's picks, dude, I just got to talk about how I lost.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Okay? I'm in the car on my way to the Giants game. I'm sitting pretty with the bucks and I'm sitting super pretty with the Rams. 26 points the Rams put up. They're looking incredible. It's like 26 to 9 the whole game. And then we parked the car to tailgate. We're ready to.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I had a guy making pizzas. Shout out to Eric, my buddy Eric Bezetto, kids making pizzas in the, in the parking lot. Guy brought his own dough and toppings and, you know, fucking pizza oven and all this stuff. And all of a sudden, my son looks at his phone and goes, Dad, you lost the Rams game. And I said, what? I said, even with the two point conversion, I won by half a point, he goes, blocked field goal last second, zero's on the clock. and I'm just going, oh, my God, dude. So for me, that was tough, okay?
Starting point is 00:05:25 That was definitely tough. And then the Jets look like they're going to win by one. So I'm like, what just happened? And then to add insult to injury, Tampa ends up winning, but I still lose that game. So another block kick for a touchdown in that one was different. Another block kick, which what are the chances? So in basically the last. Last second of these games, last second, I go from 2-0 and hoping the Giants in a delusional way could make it 3-0.
Starting point is 00:05:57 You know, I did have faith in the Chargers the whole time because I think the Chargers are another animal right now. I know Jake, you're happy about that, but I just feel like Herbert's an animal. You make any throw on the field. Jim Harbaugh always continues to progress after every year of what he's doing. So I look at it like, all right, I'm probably going to get the Chargers. but if I get the Giants, I could go into the Chargers game or finish the Chargers game a potential 3 and 0 or vice versa, whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Or the Giants to go 4 and 0. Either way, dude. 03 and 1, shit in the bed, but you know me. All right, I'm not done. Okay, four years in a row, I've pulled myself up. And you know what? I'm going to try to do it this time. So that being said, Jake the Snake,
Starting point is 00:06:46 gave us the injuries. We know who's coming back. Jane and Daniels is coming back. Brock Purdy's coming back. Could be rough now for the 49ers without that defensive pass rush. Let's see what Bill Burr has to say and pick first. Bill, from your undisclosed location, give us your first pick. Hey, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:07:10 Everybody. Hi, Paul. What's up, Andrew, Jake the Snake? and everybody thank you for watching another episode of anything better i hope you guys are doing better than my picks um anyway i go in for you paul is there anything worse than having money on a dog shit game i think what the hell did i have like i don't know what the hell it was one of those vikings games one of those sunday night games it was like six to three in the fourth quarter um anyways here my picks for the week i'm going to take the colts
Starting point is 00:07:44 Daniel Jones Paul I don't think I've ever been more wrong about a guy evidently all he needed was an offensive line I was like what are the giants giving this guy 70 million dollars for Paul they they should have given him 75 this guy's killing it all right so he's picking
Starting point is 00:08:03 Indiana Jones he's picking Indiana Jones yes I'm taking that nickname and I'm running with it because I like it I love it yeah great one yeah he's picking all right he's picking daniel jones and the colts to go four and oh against the rams look i normally yeah exactly i normally would say wow but the way they're playing i mean sequin goes to the eagles
Starting point is 00:08:28 wins a super bowl super bowl MVP daniel jones goes to indiana and he looks like joe montana uh you know russell wilson's throwing the ball out of the end zone three plays in a row while i'm there It's just brutal. The whole thing is brutal. All right. That's the only reason I covered, Paul. I had six and a half. I was like, oh, my God, they're going to backdoor cover.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Because Bucker missed the extra points. I was like, great. Because it was six and a half. And I was like, oh, my God, they're going to cover here in garbage time. And then, yeah, to your point, Russell Wilson threw it out of the end zone to nobody. So I think that was why they pulled him for DART. I know we can talk about it a little bit this week, but the Chargers Giants. Our two teams are going heads up against each other.
Starting point is 00:09:09 How do you feel about Dart going to them? this one. Look, I think that Jackson Dart getting the start now, it's just kind of what you have to do to save the coach's job. The fan base is screaming his name. I was at the game. They're chanting dart. They're booing Russ. O and three looking horrible. Russ is trying to force passes to neighbors that is getting picked off. I think, look, throw the kid to the fire, see what happened. you know what I mean if the kid ends up you know if the kid ends up making some plays and getting his legs under him and you end up winning a game or two in the next three maybe you got your guy I love his swagger so I think you got to do it now I actually said it would happen by week four
Starting point is 00:09:57 or five I thought after Russ's performance against the cowboys 500 yards and all that that he would go to week six but it was so bad it was so bad against the chiefs and let me say this before my pick look if if jakey you could be on here too buddy uh but what i was going to say was like with um with a guy like russell wilson's age you're going to get glimpses of the old russell wilson which happened week two okay 500 yards the guy was just everything everything came back but what happens is when you're 40 years old and you're a quarterback and you got a guy like Andy Reid, who's watching game film. They're going to do things.
Starting point is 00:10:43 He tried to QB sneak on a fourth and six or a fourth and three. His legs just aren't going to do that anymore. So I think it's time. There you go. That's my two cents. My first pick, guys. My first pick is going to be. Man, I don't, I know that who's starting for the Cincinnati Bengals?
Starting point is 00:11:08 Hey, it's Jake Browning. It'll be the Monday night football game. So if you want to save that from Monday Night Special, but yeah, it's an option as well. But they got blown out by Minnesota this last week. And I didn't see much of that game, but there wasn't much to see. Minnesota's defense, although, well, Denver's defense may be a step down,
Starting point is 00:11:34 but Minnesota's defense was all over it, it seemed. All right. I'm going to do so. I'm going to go head to head with Bill. Ooh, nice. And I'm going to pick the Rams minus three and a half because I'm going to tell you something right now. If I know anything about football, that building was and is this week an absolute funeral poll. Okay. I couldn't imagine the Rams being in that building after winning that much of that game and losing the way they did to not come out. Daniel Jones, Daniel Smolm's. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Okay. I think that it is going to be a big Rams wind to bounce back. It's the coming home theory that I have, which is always usually, you know, a good team loses a heartbreaker on the road and comes home. I don't like the half, I don't like the half a point.
Starting point is 00:12:31 It may come back and haunt me, but it may not. I'm going to take the Rams to bounce back and beat a, team that they're just better than the rams are just a better team they're better than indy and i think they could do things to jones so that's my uh that's my first pick and i'll tell you this paul i'm riding shotgun with you that'll be one of my picks as well that's probably my favorite play on the board um all right the colts have looked good not taking away from them but i think this is step up in class from who they played so far you look at denver the titans and the uh dolphins they only
Starting point is 00:13:05 have one win combined so far and they did lose that denver game if you remember they got the penalty off the miss game winning field goal so they really could be two and one and change how we look at the colts so i think this is a step of the competition like you said coming off a bad loss like that i think the rams are going to be fired up at home to get a win and try and keep pace in that division which has multiple you know if the cardinals win Thursday there's going to be you know at least they'll be three and one the niners could be four and no they got to keep up i'm right there with you I think this is a good spot for the Rams. All right.
Starting point is 00:13:37 And listen, you're the one leading the show right now, so I'll take that if you like it. Yeah, I'm off to a good start. Last week was rough when I was on the Falcons who lost 30 to nothing to the Panthers, who I thought were so bad. But apparently I was just dead wrong there. But yeah, so looking to bounce back myself, but I started off the year really strong. So happy to say that. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I like the Buccaneers at home, getting three and a half. I'm not going to lie to you. I forget who they're playing, but I like Baker Mayfield at home. I just like him. And getting points. The kid wins. He's a winner. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:13 So Bill has got the Buccaneers plus three and a half, ooh, against the undefeated Eagles. That's a tough game. And both of those teams won by crazy circumstances and the same circumstances. That's just synchronized in life, right? Like, how does that happen that they're playing each other after they both do that in Tampa? It's nuts.
Starting point is 00:14:33 That's going to be a great game for sure. sure. I think you could really argue either side. I don't have a play here, but I think that's going to be a great game. Baker has had three game-winning drives to start the season to go three and a pretty, you know, Bill is definitely right on how good Baker-Mayfield is. Look, Baker Mayfield's making throws, and he's just, he found the right home, too. Let's be honest. I think he found the right home. All right, I'm sorry, I'm looking here. I'm looking here. I'm scrambling, because this is a weird week. This is a weird week. The weirdest game. Andrew, the lines for the Ravens Chiefs are the same. Both say minus two and a half.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Yeah, two and a half. So who's the, who's the favorite? Ravens are. Ravens are the favorite. After, I'll spoil another one of my plays. I like the Ravens. minus two and a half there that says chiefs minus two and a half but it is ravens minus two and a half um i think i think this is kind of your theory once again paul with the um coming off a bad loss on monday night football um this is a really big spot for the ravens they're one and two which is like crazy about so um i yeah i i that's my play there that's all i know i i'm gonna go i think i got to go with it i got to go with the ravens minus two because the look on derrick Henry's face after fumbling again in that moment. Again, I think that building is going to be
Starting point is 00:16:04 quiet and focused. I saw the chiefs play the Giants and believe it or not, the Giants were in that game into the fourth quarter. If the Giants would have dropped on that fumble on the two-yard line, we would have been right there. We also didn't have a kicker, you know. So I think we were, for our team, without a quarterback throwing well, we were in that game. Mahomes is great, but there's only so much he can do. I'm going to, yeah, I'm going to bet on the Ravens not losing. So I'm going to take the Ravens minus two and a half on the road at the Chiefs. I always get burned by the Chiefs, but we'll see it.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Yeah. Were you able to see, because it showed on TV, but we were able to see the play Mahomes made on that fumble recovery to basically save the game, where the Giants defender was running into the end zone. The home stripped it to save the play, and then they drove down and got a field goal. I mean, that was a 10-point swing in the game. I got to tell you, Mahomes finds a way to evade pressure. He has a little bit of, like, that Rothesberger thing. He just knows how to get away, man.
Starting point is 00:17:06 He's really great. Yeah, I mean, it goes without saying. But, like, seeing him live, you're just like, he doesn't look that athletic. And then you watch him and you're like, oh, this guy just knows how to play the position. Yeah, I've seen him live as well at Sofyan, man. The underrated thing for sure is the scrambling. Like, you think he's slow. But when you see him a person, you realize, no, he's actually fast.
Starting point is 00:17:29 And obviously he works a sideline because he gets all the calls. But also, like, he's just genuinely outrunning these guys and able to get to the spots extend overplace. So, yeah, he's a fantastic player. And somebody that's easy to root against and for. Yeah, that's actually a great point. Like, you go both the ways with him. Yeah. All right, Andrew.
Starting point is 00:17:51 What does Bill got next? I like sneaky Pete Carroll, getting one point at home. with whoever the hell they're playing i don't have the i don't have this shit in front of me so um i like sneaky pete and had i known that petero was back when they were playing my patriots i i wouldn't i wouldn't have bet my pets so bill likes the raiders over the bears that's like a pickum anyway uh you know what i don't want to touch that i wouldn't touch that game anyway yeah that's a that's a that's a tough one to read um because you don't know how legit the bears um excuse me win was against the um uh
Starting point is 00:18:25 Cowboys last week because the Cowboys defense is really, really bad. So, I mean, it was a good win for them. They got their first win. And, you know, this will be kind of a game to kind of validate it a bit because the Raiders defense is still pretty solid. And you don't really know what you're going to get from the Raiders week to week. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Man, the Steelers Vikings, I don't like. You know, the game that I'm looking at is bills to just blow out the Saints because they're that bad, but that number is so perfect. What is it? 16 and a half? It's 16. Oh, my goodness. It's perfect. It's perfect yeah yeah that's a lot of that's a lot of points uh that's 16 points is like i mean dude you're over you're down over oh it's now it's 15 and a half we're getting we're getting live
Starting point is 00:19:07 yeah that's the great part about bet mGM and themless we're getting live it went down to 15 and a half which is still 16 really uh very generous of them you know the packers lost they did lose and that that was i was in our chat and that was i was between the texas and the packers for my last pick and they're both losers so But, yeah, the Packers, oh, my God, they blew that game. So, I mean, how do you feel about that game in general? Because it's obviously Michael Parsons return to Dallas. So that's a Sunday night.
Starting point is 00:19:37 It's an amazing Sunday night game. It's, you know, the Packers are a better team. There's going to be emotion in that game, dude. I just don't know, though, if the building is going to be so good for them that it keeps them in, get a, you know, a backdoor touchdown at the end. You know what I mean? What I don't like about that game, too, is that all of America is going to be bet in the Packers, you know? So, and the public, it's, you know, the public is not always right.
Starting point is 00:20:03 You know, I would, but sometimes it does pay to be square. Maybe the Packers go in and blow them out. But, I mean, that's what scares me the most about that game. I think everyone and their mom's going to be very excited about the Packers. Yeah, I'm not going to lie, guys. I'm buying time here because I'm looking at this thing. And I do not know what I love here because the Browns and Lions, that's a high line. Browns are flying high after that win.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Dude, you know what I'm going to do? No, I'm not going to. Oh, dude, should I just take the Giants? No, I'm not going to do that. That was my next question. Is like, you're going to take the Giants plus a touchdown? Jackson, DART debut, the Chargers looked too good. That would be wishful thinking and not smart.
Starting point is 00:20:47 That's a tough start for DART. I thought they're going to wait a week because you guys play the Saints after this. So I figured that would be a more comfortable game to put them in. But, you know, like you said, just throw them into the fire. Dayball drops on the line. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take the Steelers plus two and a half at home against the Vikings. They're at home.
Starting point is 00:21:06 It's kind of like a pick-em, but I just feel like the Steelers need to make a move. It's now or never kind of, you know. Did they win last week? Yeah, they beat New England. They're two and one in a year. I mean, they have a chance to be in first place if they win that game, you know, obviously. I just like, yeah, I just like, I just like them getting the points. And I also love the Steelers getting points at home.
Starting point is 00:21:28 If they were getting points in Minnesota, that's different. They're home. I'm going to take that. Yeah. And we'll find out quickly how legit Carson Winz's performance was last week. You know, it's a long season for sure. This is a step up in class between the Bengals defense last week and the Steelers defense this week, for sure. So it's definitely going to be a great test.
Starting point is 00:21:50 It should be a good match. I love it. I like those. All right. So so far, I got my three. I got one more to go. What does Bill have? Speaking of my New England Patriots, they are, what are they?
Starting point is 00:22:05 They're playing the Panthers, who evidently must really suck because we're five and a half point favorites. I'm going to take the Patriots because we just, I don't know, we should have beat the Steelers last week. And we had six tournaments. and nine million penalties. And I think Mike Brable is going to do something about that and he's going to do something quick. So I think I'm thinking that those turnovers really helped us as far as to only be favored
Starting point is 00:22:37 by five and a half is what I'm thinking. But then again, you see what I did? I picked two games that are down in the NFC South, which is the fucking radio silence, no man's land in the NFL. I mean, I mean, I don't know shit about the NFL, but I really don't know shit about the NFC South. And I got the Buccaneers, and I'm betting against the Panthers. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:22:59 That's my tail with the tape, and I'm sticking with it. I will see you guys next week. Thank you for putting up with my hotel room telecast here. All right. We'll see you guys. I'll be honest with you. Bill looks good. Rested.
Starting point is 00:23:16 You know, he looks good. He looks chilling. You know, he's arrested. All right. right well you know what listen he said it best patriots were in a good game could have won that game and now the patriots are what's it called coming back home and got a win got a win by six not even a touchdown so all right i see that um yeah panthers burned me bad last week so but otherwise i would um i'd be on it too because they're they looked really bad to start the year um and
Starting point is 00:23:47 patriots look good you know today's got to clean up the turnovers and penalties Okay. Yeah. I mean, look, it's still early. Like, there are teams that are going to look bad until week five, and then all of a sudden, you know, like, that's the one thing about the NFL. They're always like, oh, three games and you're done. I don't know about that. I've seen teams go like one and four. You know, the Giants won the Super Bowl starting out 0 and 2 against the, you know, in 0.7. Yeah, they were talking about that with the Ravens from last year, too. I believe they were 0 and 2, maybe 0.3 or something, and they turned it around quickly. So the season's so long now that you're able to recover from bad start. which is actually, you know, a positive thing. Yeah, I think if you're two and five, you could win three or four in a row and all of a sudden make a wild card. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:28 Yeah, you only need eight to nine wins to make the wild card, and they add an extra wild card spot these days. So you have room to kind of, you know, grow and improve throughout the year. So you definitely can start off slow and recover your season not over, especially like if you're in a bad division for sure. Yeah, yeah. All right. So let me see here.
Starting point is 00:24:49 We got my last pick. My last pick of week number four. So so far, who do I have? I have the Steelers. I have the Ravens. I have the Steelers. Rams. Steelers, Ravens, Rams.
Starting point is 00:25:09 And for my fourth and final pick, I need this to be a good one. This one's got to be a good one. God, I hate the half a point the Broncos have. but that Browning kid had some good games last year, too. I mean, I don't love them. I'm not going to lie to. Yeah, this year not so far as off to a rough start, but last year he had some great games, actually.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Dude, this is the tough. This is one of the toughest, so far. It's always tough to pick a fourth team is what I've learned doing this, the show with you guys. I always come in with two ready to go as soon as I see the card, and then those third and fourth picks are definitely the toughest. I get it. Yeah, it's, let me see here.
Starting point is 00:25:55 The Charger fan of me always wants to fit the Raiders, but I mean, it is scary to bet the Bears there. But I mean, it is a pick-um. Dude, should I take Jackson Dart and the Giants? I mean, I'm not going to agree with that as a Charter fan, but, you know. You know, if it was seven and a half, Andrew, did it change? Did I get a miracle? the charges are known for a let this could be a classic letdown top of the target so it's not impossible
Starting point is 00:26:25 uh the team's going to the giant team is going to be fired up should i take the giants on jackson dart's first start but no because elion manning didn't win his first start as a giant did he that's just that's just stupid crazy thinking the dolphin stink There's Niners against the Jags at three and a half with minus Nick Bosa and the Packers. Those are two other ones. Commander's Falcons could be interesting one with Jaden coming back, only minus one. I'm going to take the Jaguars plus three. What do you got?
Starting point is 00:27:07 Three and a half or three? Three and a half. I like that. Okay. I'm going to take the Jags. I like to have a point. Listen, I love the 49ers and I met the owners. I know those people and they're great.
Starting point is 00:27:19 So this is nothing against them. But Nick Bosa being out, you know, I know Pertie's coming back, but the Jags, the Jags are pretty good. I'll take the, I'll take the three and a half because I could see the Niners winning this game by three. I actually really like the half point in this game, to be honest. I know I sound like Jimmy the Greek, but that's how I'm feeling with this one. So, yeah, that's pretty much it.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Perfect, yeah. So there's two games for running in the night football this week. Which one would you prefer to use for the Monday Night special? It's Jets Dolphins, which, oh, boy, it's two really bad teams. Two really bad teams in the same division. Yeah. I think we go Broncos, Bengals. I think there's more to do there.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Yeah, it's more fun for sure. All right. So what are your Allene's is looking at this match in general? What about Bo Nix to run one? Is that a thing? or does oh you don't like it yeah probably probably not i'm not but i'm not sure because he does run it he does run it so it's like i was just trying to think about it like but um yeah that's probably it's probably it's probably a little far fetch we didn't we didn't hit this last special right
Starting point is 00:28:31 no it's our first miss of the year because the raven's lost um yeah oh that's right we had the money line right yeah alman ra went over but that um that was the only thing that hit i don't think the mark had a rushing touchdown but he had like four others he was he was incredible Um, all right. Let's do Knicks to throw one. Okay. I like that. Um, do you want to just do Jamar Chase anytime touchdown?
Starting point is 00:28:57 I mean, just because it's Jamar Chase or maybe, excuse me, maybe over his, um, yards prop. What's Jamar Chase's yards? Um, yeah, I think Andrew might be able to pull that up, um, on his end. But, um, but, but yeah, I think that's a good that, just Jamar Chase to do anything, just because he's like, you know, spectacular. Yeah. Um, do you feel strong about the Broncos money line, potentially, or do you feel like maybe
Starting point is 00:29:22 the Bengals will cover the seven and a half? I like the half point there. Seven and a half is a lot on a Monday night game, but I could also see the Broncos winning this game by 17 to be honest. Really? Okay. So that's a seven, oh, you know what? Andrew just said that Chase's yard is 67 and a half. I think we should go over that. That's probably a good play because it's Jamar Chase. What do you think, Paul? Yeah, wait, six. We could just do any time touchdown
Starting point is 00:29:54 and just not worry about the yards. I think we do Broncos money line, Knicks to throw one, and Jamar Chase to catch one. Yeah, I think that's perfect. I think that that'll give people a chance. I definitely think Knicks will throw one. I definitely think the Broncos are going to win this game,
Starting point is 00:30:09 money line. So I think the only curve ball that we have in this thing, might be Chase catching one, you know, because he's probably going to be doubled, but you also have Higgins on the other side. So I like that for the Monday Night Special. Yeah, all right. There it is on the screen.
Starting point is 00:30:25 I think this is a good play. We're off too good to start with my night specials. Hopefully you can go three for four to start the month off. I mean, that's amazing right there. I want to go 4 and O and hit the Monday Night Special, and then we are right back on track. That's it. Anything under three and one is unincerect.
Starting point is 00:30:44 acceptable. But dude, I mean, we're in it. We got some games here. Yeah. We're going to start the year. So, I mean, we all have our records here. Bill's off to a rough start, but there's plenty time to turn it around. He's usually around 500 for the year. We got Andrews. What's Andrews record? We got Andrews record. What's your total? How do I see? Sorry about that. I guess Paul should read this better than me. Yeah, I am. What am I? I'm too. Oh, it's right there. Oh, my goodness. Sorry. Yeah, 281. All right. So I am, what is that? 4.7 and 1 for Andrew. And then I'm 7.4 and 1 to start here. So me and Bill have three wins in the win column after three weeks, which is absolutely horrible. But we will do better. We will pick it up. We have picked it up. Absolutely. And here are some of our picks. Andrew's got his picks in as well. He's riding with. He's riding with.
Starting point is 00:31:44 a bill on the Raiders. Yeah, you know, usually post-show, Jake and I, usually post-show Jake and I put in our picks. So these are my prelim picks. I don't know. I just think the dolphins are horseshit, so I think there's a good chance that the jets, I don't know, they're playing better than the dolphins. And I actually like the lions at home. I don't know what's going to stop them. What about the Browns are going to stop them right now? So I would take those 10. And then I'm actually, I, geez, the Falcons lost last week was brutal for both Jake and I. And I think the commanders, like said, Jaden Daniels coming back.
Starting point is 00:32:23 I don't, I don't see the Falcons dominating that game. So if it's a close game, I think it goes to the commanders. But I haven't, I have, I'll put those in and send them to you guys, as we always do. Jake and I send our picks out Saturday morning. So you guys got them. Yeah, I'm excited to fake the Falcons at certain points of the year to get my money back for what they did to me last week because that was very embarrassing. But, I mean, I am a little worried just because it's Jane Daniels' first game back,
Starting point is 00:32:51 but I'm sure he's going to be great because he always is. So I think that's a great play. What's the 49ers record? Are they two and one? They are three and no. Three and no, yeah. Oh, the Niners are three and no. Well, they played some many of these teams.
Starting point is 00:33:06 So they beat the Panthers and I don't know if it was a Panthers. I know they beat the Saints and they beat the Cardinals. It's questionable and that it doesn't seem sustainable, especially with injuries. Yeah, and I feel like the most intriguing games this week are Chargers Giants just to see if the new kid is going to really give life to the Giants. And then as far as the Ravens, to see if the Ravens are like going to go one and three and like really have a struggle or if they're going to go into a team that where a dynasty might be dying down a little bit. Those are the two, for me, those are the two games. I know I'm being biased because I'm a Giants fan, so maybe not a lot of people care.
Starting point is 00:33:49 But when you have a draft pick like that and you're benching Russell Wilson and you have Malik neighbors and you need your first win, I think that that's an intriguing one. And like I said, the Ravens too. Also, you could also say the Colts. Dude, if the Colts beat the Rang, I got to be honest with you. If Daniel Jones, goes four and oh think about the daniel jones he was a laughing we thought he was done we thought
Starting point is 00:34:18 he was done dude nobody thought nobody thought that he had he was going to be starting for another team there listen there and you pointed him out there were some moments with the giants where it was like all right like you look pretty good this week and then for three weeks it was just well listen i i i stuck with him because i saw him go i saw him go nine and eight i saw him go nine and eight. Then he went into a 13-win playoff environment against the Vikings in Minnesota, played immaculate and won that game and knocked them out of the playoffs to go to the second round against the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:34:51 And then all of a sudden, the next year, he was sacked after two seconds every play. Every play. He looked like a deer in headlights. He looked completely shell-shocked against the Niners. He had no time. And I got to start looking in the mirror of my own team going, dude, my organization just doesn't take care of their top play. or Saquan.
Starting point is 00:35:10 This one. Everybody leaves the Giants and like thrives. And, and you know, you got Russell Wilson throwing the ball all over. So they're the Oakland A's of the NFL, Paul. They're the 90s Oakland A's. They're just going to,
Starting point is 00:35:23 everybody's going to come through there. They're going to put in two good years. And then they're going to just get out, go ship off to the Red Sox of the Yankees. Yeah. I mean, I'll tell you, I'll really tell you what, man.
Starting point is 00:35:34 If Daniel Jones wins this game against the Rams and goes four and they're definitely a playoff like you have to not only a not only a playoff team he's an MVP candidate yeah if he goes if he goes four and oh with his statistics do his yardage and statistics if he goes four and oh and wins that game he's a he is a MVP candidate which is which is kind of nuts um it's it's it's actually really imagine if you took the odd the preseason odds yeah on on on daniel jones being the MVP it'd be like 10 bucks to win 10,000. Unbelievable, dude.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Do we have any Super Bowl thoughts? Because, listen, preseason Super Bowl, I mean, like, I put 25 on the bills to win, you know. Well, you know, I would leave. But at this point in the season now, I mean. Well, now, I mean, look, I thought the Bengals with Joe Burrow and then Joe Burrow just week two done is like the craziest thing for them, because I thought they could make some noise. I think injuries play a huge part of this, but I mean, I think, look, I think the lions are still a player in the NFC. I think the Packers are a player in the NFC. And I got to
Starting point is 00:36:54 be honest. I just think that when you look at better players, Josh Allen is just, in my opinion, Josh Allen is the best quarterback in the AFC. He, him, her. Herbert and Mahomes, I think, are the three. No, Lamar. Yeah, I got to put Lamar in there still. Listen, those... Lamar, here's the deal, though. Yeah, that loss is not...
Starting point is 00:37:20 But here's the deal about Lamar. Lamar hasn't won the big playoff game yet. He hasn't. He really hasn't. So, like, I love Lamar. And Lamar can do things that all three of those quarterbacks I mentioned cannot do with his feet. But...
Starting point is 00:37:33 Herbert, especially Herbert and Alan, can make any throw on the football field. There's no two quarterbacks in the NFL that can literally backpedaling, cross the field, make any throw. So those two can. They're super talented. Alan has a little more swagger to him than Herbert. I think he's got a little more, whatever. And Mahomes has smart and experience. And I think that, you know, I think that Lamar Jackson has the elusiveness, but he needs to show me first.
Starting point is 00:38:05 But if you put a gun to my head right now, I would have to say bills. But, I mean, has Josh Allen won the big playoff game? I mean, he's won just as many as Lamar in terms of the game against the Chiefs. But he beat the Ravens last year in the playoffs. He beat the Ravens last year in the playoffs. No, I know, but they've both been to the AFC championship game. Yeah, the only time. Through the same competition.
Starting point is 00:38:31 So, I don't know. Nobody can beat the Chiefs yet, but I mean, this would probably be the year that it feels like the Chiefs don't win at all. but it definitely feels like the year and i and i know everybody that's that's a very public uh opinion but but it's so it's so early the chiefs can easily turn it around i mean if they beat the ravens this week guess what they're two and two and they're not even that far back in the division but then they're definitely in the wild card they could trade for a linebacker and you know and improve their defense you know and there's a lot of things we can trade for tyrie kill and you know in a couple weeks who knows he's probably on the move at some point so something to get him and insulate through
Starting point is 00:39:06 that's a good point Based on everything, yeah, based on everything right now, if you, you know, gun to my head, I would say the Lions and Bills. If I had to pick, if I had to pick Super Bowl teams right now, I would say the Lions and Bills. And I think that the Lions winning the way they did in Baltimore, like everyone's like, oh, the fumble. But yeah, did you see the fumble? Did you see how that fumble happened? Right. That was such a heads up, like, that's such a good coaching thing, you know?
Starting point is 00:39:33 And it's such a heads up thing to go, hey, they're going to give it to Henry. And like, this is what we got to do. And they did it. I'm on St. Brown, dude. That kid is so good. And Goff could make any throw. I like, I think that this, you know what's crazy about this year? Staying healthy.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Hutchinson is back to if both teams, lions and Bill, stay healthy, they have the, they have what it takes. So that would be my, I would put that on record for the anything better week, going into week four, as I have no, wins and I'm horrible. That would be my, yeah. I think my, I forgot if I said this on our first episode, but I had bills and Eagles in the Super Bowl. So I don't see anything so far that would move me off that at the moment. But there's a long, there's a lot of season left.
Starting point is 00:40:24 I worry about the Bill's defense would be my biggest concern. But when your offense is that high power, maybe they'll just outscore everyone all year. So I guess everyone, all three of us are on the bills to win the Super Bowl. So we'll see if they come to fruition. But I mean, this feels like. If there ever was a time, this is probably the most talented roster that they've had. And they have a very favorable schedule all year. So they're probably going to end up with a one seat.
Starting point is 00:40:47 So they'll get a buy and home field advantage. So I think this would be the year where they really need to go for it. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, that's pretty much, that's pretty much it. I think, yeah, I think everybody on the show definitely, it's really hard to say it wouldn't be the bills, you know, unless a team really came out. I know you could throw in the Ravens. You could say, hey, the chiefs are still the chief.
Starting point is 00:41:10 But it'd be really hard to go against Josh Allen, them. But all right, man, those are our picks. Oh, guys, if you want to see me, I'm going to be in California. Next week, I'm going to be at the Sacramento Punch Line on October 2nd. And then I'm going to be at Cobb's Comedy Club, October 3rd in San Francisco. All right, the 16th, I'm in Buffalo.
