Good morning, ladies gentlemen. Good afternoon, ladies gentlemen, whenever this show comes out. And Merry Christmas, happy holidays. It is week 17 of the NFL. We got a whole slate right here. This is your Christmas buffet. And also we have a little extra dessert on the end here too. Christmas rapid fire.

That's going to be funny. We had a whole set of Christmas games. Let's go to the, buddy. This is the meat potatoes right here. Your boy sitting up here in first place. That's a cool story. However, the biggest storyline of the year, any part of the NFL, Delaney Walker goes 6 and 0 last week.

He goes 6 and 0, undefeated last week. Since week 16, wait, he's, wait, what is this? You said he was week 1, week 10? 34 and 13 since week 10. He's 34 and 13 since week 10. I thought we wrote that down somewhere. Doesn't matter. Clay Matthews, Money Line Matthews was doing so great.

He was killing, he was moving the line. All of a sudden, he started to, this part's very turbulent in his family. And then Will Compton, three and three, he's at the bottom of the list. He's saying his family is sick. He's saying he's take care of the boys. I think it has a lot to do with being in that fourth place. We have a great show for you today. It is myself, Clay Matthews, and Delaney the Mule Walker.

It's called Pass the Leg.

My turn. Here's how it works. Start a group build. Add your pick. Then pass it to your friends so they can. add theirs. When everyone's done, you each lock in a group parlay with your own funds. William. Because football is better when it's played and bet together. And to make it even better, everyone gets a 30% profit boost to build, to use on their build. Back to me. So whether you're

backing your team, tailing your buddies, or trying to prove who really knows ball past the leg is your new way to play this holiday season. Back to William. Grab your crew, start your build, and get into the action with past the leg only on Fandall and only on Christmas Day. Visit www.fandle.com slash busting to get started. So right now what we're going to do is we're going to cook up a little Christmas Day past the leg parlay for you guys. Make sure that pass the leg with your friends and family only on Fandul and don't forget to use your 30% past the leg profit boost token.

I will go first and then I'll rile off Williams. I've got R.J. Harvey running back. Broncos. They are playing the Chiefs. Chiefs have clearly packed it in. William is going seedy lamb against the commanders. Had some scrambled eggs a couple of weeks ago. He's back. He's feeling nice. Commanders. Delaney, where are you headed? Well, I'll take that leg and I'm going Jamir Gibbs, Lanes, versus the Vikings. And I'm going to pass that leg to Clay. I got Jay J. Jettas, Justin Jefferson, anytime touchdown against the Lions.

That's beautiful. If you like that parley, if you feel it, You're a little nervous about passing your own parlay with your friends. And you're knowing yourself because you watch us every single week. Hey, the boys actually hit on their bet the boys parlay last week. Round of applause for that. You're thinking these boys might be hot. They might be firing this parlay that we just put together is plus 1,440. That feels nice.

That feels like something that Clay tells you out of Thursday night streaming. You go, that sucker can hit, gannit. That sucker can go. A lot of things to go over today, boys. We have a lot of games. But we're not going to look past Delaney Walker. And this Feddy's got on today. What's going on?

You know, man, I was sitting at the house. Yeah, you were. You know, watching the games. Just watching those check, check, check, check. And I'm like, damn, looks like I'm about to go six and all. So I put on a hundred waters blanket me. And I sat there. No free shoutouts?

No free shoutouts. And I'll start thinking about previous weeks when I was down, but I wasn't out. The noise was getting loud. People sitting on the side of me. You're too slow. You're too fat. We're going to put you in the crowd. I ain't let the noise get to me.

I put my head down and I grind. And you want to know why I have on the fatigue? Because that's what deer hunters do. They put their head down. They don't make a noise. And they wait for that eight. point buck to walk by. And when you get that thing lined up

in those scopes, you pull the trigger. And that's what I did. I pulled the trigger. How many times? I may be doing this five times in the row. But the glory to it all is I never gave up.

I canceled out the noise. I put my head down and I grind. Yeah. Because I saw greatness on the other side. And if you need help with greatness, you find that greatness. You find that greatness. I know it ain't easy. It's tough. It's hard to find somebody to look up to. So I'm going to take a page out of Clay Matthew's book because like I said, it's hard to find greatness. We had a gift. It's hard to find greatness. Your flowers got a grill? Yeah. It is hard to find

greatness. So I thought I will gift these guys an action figure, Kung Fu Grip of myself. Is that a real signature? Signed. Yeah, signed. Signed and everything, right? Because when they look to this, they'll know what greatness look like. Oh, this is fantastic. We need to keep this for real.

You get to keep these. Oh my God. This is great. Limited edition joints, action figure, Confu, Grit. And then this one is for Will Compton. He couldn't be here today because he in last place. And you, you said this, the boxes inside?

You actually signed those and I signed the inside of them. You signed the inside? I open it up to you. You open it up inside you. Can I pop it? Can I pop it? Yeah, pop it. I can pop this.

By the way, you see you pull the trigger five times, you pulled the trigger six times. Six times, yeah. And no one ever, I love the fact that you correlated deer hunting with grinding. No one ever does that. No one ever does. It is a tough sport, okay? It's, oh, you hunt for sport? Yeah, I hunt for sport.

Yeah? I'm looking at these stats, Delaney on the back. That's all the-15, 16 and 17. We're nuts. Yeah. that went nuts. Look at that. The hat is signed.

The hat is signed. The hat is actually signed. He opened this box up. Hey, this is one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. Yeah, man. You know. I'm putting this up in the trophy room. Yeah, yeah.

It's fantastic. Put the hat on, you know what I'm saying? Are the tattoos? No, tattoos. They won't put the tattoos on. They won't put that on. They won't do the tattoos. Any gang affiliation, we don't need that.

I love more than anything. Your speech is incredible. incredible, but you refer to this as an action figure with my favorite part of the whole thing. Clearly a bubblehead. Clearly. Dude, that is, that is awesome. Yeah. God damn. I love it.

Yeah, this. Yeah, yeah, man. Great speech. Great action figure. We couldn't start to show up in you every day. I mean, it's better. Clay, you, listen. Two and four.

Hey. Moneyline Matthews, you had a song come out about you. are now whispering that you've drinking the Kool-Aid a little bit. Like you went off that one week and you decided to change the entire program of the show. Some people didn't like it. Some people. One people. No, no, some people.

Some people. There's got to be another one out there, right? Which would make it some. You're doing this. Yeah. Well, hold on. We got to write the ship here. Okay, hold on.

Hey, are we talking about that juicy, succulent. So Glider Bay. Christmas 15-leg parlay I put on Thursday nights, Ram, Seahawks game, because I hit, buddy. God, you did. You did. I'm feeling good about myself. On the Thursday night game last week, the last dream of the year, you came in with 15, and you made everybody write it up. Checking boxes, checking your phone.

I think your phone died. That's how many times you checked your phone. Because I knew it. You knew it. I know we can't guarantee. Can't. But I guaranteed it was going to hit. You did.

And when it does, you can guarantee it. That was out the camera on. and it was off the record you did guarantee. But to your point, two and four. It's not up to the standard. Just a show. But they don't call me money line for no reason. I put one money line on an underdog last week, one and no.

So what I'm realizing is the spreads are for chumps. All right, yeah. We got to get back to the money line way, okay? Because there's no noise telling me like, don't bend the knee to Taylor. Yeah. Don't ban. Because I'm out there. Well, you're just like, spread this, spread that.

Right, right. And I'm like, ML this. ML that, you know? I, listen, you get a song for a reason. If we want to play it for two seconds, we're more than welcome to you. MLK, Moneyline King. Oh, okay. You know what I'm saying?

We're going with this. There's two MLKs. Talking about Timothy Chalemeyne, Jamie Fox, Willa, Smith, Ben Zell before. We're going to, hey, we play off each other real nice. You guys do. Six and O, he took a little something for me. You know what I'm going to take from him?

The juice, because he's going six and O. I'm just hoping for a little touch of that. If I could break 500, it would be a great week. But we're going to aspire for greater things. Five and one this week, maybe six and O. So let's get started with this Christmas rapid fire segment. Okay, you want you. Rapid Fire.

All right. Jeremy Klob is going to run us through rapid fire real quick. He's going to stay the game, the line, and the total and we're just going to answer what our answer is. Yes, sir. Cowboys at Commanders. Cowboys minus seven, commanders plus seven over under 50 and a half. Commanders plus seven. Give me the Cowboys Moneyline right here. Tough divisional game. You already know it's going to be closer than most people think. Cowboys minus five and a half. Love it. And Will Compton has the commanders plus seven. Next game. We have Lions at Vikings.

Lions minus five and a half, Vikings plus five and a half, over under 44 and a half. Give me the Lions minus two and a half. Lions, minus five and a half. J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings money line here. Wow. Justin Jefferson, we should have saw it coming. But JJ may not play. McCarthy?

Yeah. I heard X-ray said it was negative. Oh, okay. Now it's a toughness thing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we know all that's going to play. Maybe I should change my...

No, no, no, no, no, no, don't tell you. Good. I just wanted to make sure you knew he may not play. Will has Lions minus five and a half there. And then the last game on Christmas, we have Broncos at Chiefs. Broncos minus 12 and a half. Chiefs plus 12 and a half. Over under 36 and a half.

Chiefs have truly packed it and give me the Broncos. Minus 12 and a half. Give me the Broncos money line. Under 36 and a half. Whoa, under? And Will Compton. is also taking the under 36.5. Broncos money line is crazy.

I ain't about to it. Bronco's money line is crazy. What is that? No, you parlay those three. You parlay those three. It's a Christmas miracle. That's 12. I'm okay.

Money line came. Broncos. I can't even read it. Broncos money line is minus 1,000. That's okay. You parlay those things up. You might have minus 400. Hey, easy money right.

Can you feel me? Can't guarantee. That's not a guarantee. Can't guarantee it. Easy. Ooh. That Vikings' money lines would really sent you off. Sometimes you just got to take a chance in life.

Sometimes you do. It's like Philip Rivers said. You don't know what's going to happen. But you've got to put yourself out there. And I'm scared a little bit. I'm scared. It's okay to be afraid. But I'm going to go after it.

Fears like fire, dude. If you use it the correct way, you can keep yourself warm, you can cook. You let it get out of control. That's how wildfires start. Oh yeah. You know? Ooh.

You know that? The fire rising. The fire's rising. Oh. Delaney, we said before the show, every single game you're going to start off. Let's do it. And if you want to taste something good, form energy. Form Energy delivers best in class tastes with natural flavors and zero sugar.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a...

We're the first people to do podcasts. A pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.

Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential.

title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

So the first game is Ravens at Packers. Packers are minus two and a half.

Total points in that game is 40 and a half points. So y'all know how I feel about the Packers, right? How do you feel about the Packers? Just for clarity, if there's somebody watching for the first time. The Packers do not play well on the road. And my man, 6 and 0, he called it. And he just said it. They do not play well on the road, but they are at home against the Ravens. who do not run Derek Henry and those. The only thing about this one is Malik. Who is Malik going to be?

If we don't get Jordan Love, who will Malik be? We saw Malik make some great classes last week, and I'm going to ride on this guy. I'm going to ride on him because he is a Titan, and I believe in him as a titan, and I'm going to believe in him as a Packer. So either or Malik or Jordan Love starts. Okay.

I'm taking the Packers. Two and a half. Two and a half. Can we just talk about before we move on? Just to put, you know, a flower in the grave for the Packers real quick and had Bears lost last week. I mean, it's tough. That was a tough game. They, they, the Packers, we squandered such a great performance for what they had to overcome.

I mean, no Micah. Jordan Love gets hurt early in the game. Malik Davis throws a 33-yard, dark. Art to Dobbs, I believe. Like, they just look so good in an onside kick. Just swat that thing out of bounds. You needed a, you know, a coaching. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, just squat it out of bounds. And then that pass. I mean, it was fun to watch as a fan. But then the noise, you know, dimension started lighten up. Yeah. Because I put it out there before the season. I'm hoping the Packers and Bears play.

in the playoffs because that'll be fire. I just want to remind you boys of the of the year 2010 Packers went on the road to Soldier Field. Talk about 15 years ago. Yeah, but it's relevant. Okay. Because those failed to study history are doomed to repeat it. Packers lose at Soldier Field to the last second field. It was tough. The boys were down. They win week 17 against the Chicago Bears to make the playoffs as the six seed. They go on the road. versus the Philadelphia Eagles and Michael Vic. Dub. They go on the road versus the 14 and 2 Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome.

Dub. And who do they see again in the NFC championship game at Soldier Field? The Chicago Bears. Led by Clay Matthews and that Packers defense. A rod in the offense. We went in there. We got the dub all the way to Super Bowl XLB. It's destined to happen again, boys.

They split the season series. they're going to have to play again in Soldier Field. Put it on your calendars, boys. NFC championship game at Soldier Field. Bears Packers. With the win to the Super Bowl. Can I ask you a question? Yes, sir.

Do you find it kind of interesting that Aaron Rogers says, I own the Bears? And because Aaron Rogers won a game with the Steelers, the Bears solidified a spot in the playoffs? Yep. Poetry. Aaron now. It's poetry.

Who they play? The Lions? He owns everybody in the NFC. He owns everybody in the NFL. He's just talking shit, talking about being 42 years old, outrunning buddy to the sideline. I loved it because I say, Ron. That's what he is. He's having fun, throwing darts.

But I digress here. I like the Packers too. Coming back home. Is Lamar going to play? Derek Henry did have some success last week running the ball, but I'm a load. Their backup play Huntley? Yeah, he played well as well. But I like the Packers here.

They've got more on the line. I think the Raven season is over. I wouldn't be surprised. if they faced a little adversity and they decided, hey, you know what, let's get them next year. Yeah. Yeah, the Ravens, when they played the Patriots, the biggest takeaway was like,

you should have probably used Derek Henry Moore. He was going off, 128 yards and two touchdowns. Best performance since week one. Yep. And so I look at the Ravens, I'm like, you're clearly looking at a guy who's older. He's not what he once was, but he is still very, he's his ability to break away runs,

to wear you down. Like, he's a cat, the more you give him the ball, the better he's going to be throughout the game. and they can lean on that versus a backup quarterback. I am going to go to the Packers here. Big Malik Willis fan. I was kind of a Malik Willis hater. Me too.

For a little bit, because I remember being in the huddle with him a couple of times. Cad didn't know his plays at all. He would just kind of, he would go cowboy a lot of times, just randomly. You didn't know what was going on. He goes to the Packers completely has a resurgence in his career. He's 2 and 0 as a starter when he has to come in for Jordan Love.

Every time he does come in now, it seems like he knows what he's doing, is what the checks are, he understands coverages, all those types of things. I like the Packers in December. I like the Packers at home in December. I like the Packers at home in December in primetime games. Yes.

Because they're 6 and 0. Yes, indeed. So I will be taking the Packers in this game as well. Would you say Malik Willis is the real life Jamie Fox in any given Sunday? Ooh. He comes in. He's not paying attention. He's vomiting all over the Titans Huddle.

They get rid of him. He goes to a new team and now he's, you know that montage or that scene where the ball goes up and there. It's, oh, you'll play it while this is going. going on. And it's a montage. They catch it over and then they win a couple games and he's all the sharks are like this. Maybe you need to rewatch you. Have you ever seen that movie, Taylor? I have not seen that movie. Really? What? I have not seen that movie. Oh, man. But I have seen that speech. No, not the speech. The speech is great. I've seen the speech. The montage of Willie Beeman. But there's been a couple late nights on a Saturday before noon kickoff

game and I hit that speech on YouTube and I'm just double chinned up. dude in a hotel bed, watch the thing, they're like, it really is a fucking game of inches, man. Tomorrow, I'm going to find that inch. Not you down there, but on the field. Yeah, so I haven't seen the game. Okay, check it out, and then let's discuss next to you. The thing that makes me know, where did Will go?

Will is Packers minus two and a half. That makes me sick. It makes you want to go Ravens. I know, but does lightning really strike twice? Ryan Nolan the back says, Delany one six and no, I agree. Delaney's on chat, GPT, right now figuring out what his next pick is. For the game, Texas at Chargers.

This is my notes. He's crazy. He's Brock. Texas at Chargers. Chargers are favored minus one and a half at home. The total points in the game is 39 and a half. What are you thinking, Big Dog? Big D.

What are we thinking, kid? Man, this is a tough one because the Texans, I want to say the Texans, what is on a six-game winning streak right now? Six games. But the Chargers is also on a four-game winning streak, right? Is it four? They're on a six-game winning streak. So both teams hot.

Both teams. are hot right now. Both teams are hot. The stakes are for Texas is to win the NFC South. So this is big for them. They got to come out. They got to shine. The charges already clinched the playoffs. They're trying to be the division leaders. It's going to be a big game this week. With that being said, who should I lean on? Who do I know the best? I know Jim Harbaugh. I know he's going to get that team right. I know Giro. I know they're getting everything going with that offense. And then your boy for the defense.

Tulie, no, no, the defensive coordinator. Jesse Minter. Jesse Minter. This is a interview for him to be a head coach somewhere else. This boy needs to step up. Maybe Michigan. Who knows? No, no, he ain't going back there.

It's too much going on. Yeah, yeah, it's too much going on right now. Would be great, though. He would do great there. He would do great there. He would do great there. He would do great there. I think that NFL money, though, I think he won a little bit of that.

So with that being said, Chargers is going to beat the Texans. I'm taking the chargers, man. I love it. Minus one and a half. I'm tailing my boy over here. The last couple weeks, for whatever reason, the chargers have been the underdogs. I've been taking money line after money line on the chargers,

and they've been hitting. And I like them so much, then I'm going to take the spread at minus one and a half. I'm going to be a little adventurous. Be a little adventurous. Just for this game. I'll get back to the money line. It doesn't matter what the spread is because you're going to take it.

I'm going to take it. I'm going to take it. Sprits for chumps, but not in this game. You're right. We should go back to the money line. here. I was getting a little crazy right there. You're feeling the energy of the room. I completely get that. You want to fall back a little bit. You're sure to take charges money. I mean, it's only 15 up. You know what though? No, I have that much confidence in Justin Herbert, Harbaugh.

Hey, am I, am I right now? If they win out, are they the number one seat? Yes. Yes. If they win, they're number one seat. That is kind of crazy. That's crazy. Like people keep talking about the NFC and how there's a gongt there, but there's a, the handful of teams that are making the AFC, I think you have an argument for everybody in there except for the Steelers. True. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. The defense is kind of cooking up a little bit, but I don't know. They just broke in my heart. Once I get my heart like the Cowboys, I kind of like this and I punt on them. I mean, I'm an emotional cat, Clay, you know? Well, why know? The way the Steelers is playing without Watts is crazy though. Like, think about that.

Yeah, no doubt. But okay, so Texas Chargers. Chargers all year. What has there been? been their biggest issue. Offensive line play. Offensive line. Their two tackles, they've been injured all year. These two defense ends, Daniel Hunter and Will Anderson, they are going to hunt all day. And I love your boy, Herbert. He is a top five quarterback. I agree. I'm on board with all that. But both incredible defenses, you look at Houston last week playing the Raiders. Two weeks ago, the Raiders played the Eagles, and it's like, yep, that's a good team playing the Raiders. They're putting up points the way they should put up points. Texans were, it was weird for a while, It's kind of close.

They allowed them to score a couple times. Both these teams, I think offenses get absolutely deleted. So I'm going to take the under of 39 and a half in this game. Texans only had nine points through the fourth quarter, offensive points, I should say. They had that stingly interception. I thought the route was on. But after that point, I mean, it was a much closer game than I would have ever thought. That gives me cause for concern is their offense, just like you had said.

So I like the under, but I got to get a question mark all year. Herbert is we dealing with some injuries. They're definitely getting the run game going more. They're throwing the ball better. You have to give them a lot of credit. But when you got two tackles, they're under a third and four tackle. Yeah. That's when those two guys are just, they're salivating.

They're just, they cannot wait to get after Herbert. He's going to make some moves with his legs. But then Nolan hit me with a weird stat about the Texans. Texans' defense has held their opponents to the lowest field goal conversion percentage of 63.6. Which I don't know how that is even. What does that mean blocked field goals? I know. They just apparently like the team.

The teams they play, they're holding the field goal kickers to 63.6%. So I'm looking at all this information I'm gathering. I'm like, you know, I can definitely see Houston's defense completely canceling out the Chargers' offense and vice versa. We've got a low scoring game here. We got a boring one on our hands, but I'm going to take the under. But, you know, the Chargers kicker, he is probably, Dicker. Dicker is probably the best kicker point-wise in the NFL right now. It's got to be Aubrey, right?

Aubrey? Aubrey. for the Cowboys. That motherfucker got me 30 points in a week on fantasy football. Well, I mean, they're kicking a lot of football. How insane is that? And we still lost.

Kicker, 30 points. This motherfucker, dude. Delaney, it was Texans are on a seven-game win streak, Chargers are on a four-game win streak. But if you averaging them out, it's like, you know, Steve. Will Compton is a big believer of the Texans, obviously, so he is going Texans' money line.

My boy. The Texans just scared me with that. The offense is inconsistent. I know. It's kind of weird. It's kind of weird. And to be fair to will, like he's got, he's got two kids and a wife. 103.

He's hallucinating right now. He doesn't know what he's thinking. He doesn't know where he is. He should have seen him yesterday. Bags under the eyes. Breathing out of his mouth the whole time. What are we got going on here, buddy? You don't go to New York in December.

I'm telling you. I know, but I'll tell you what, he had a nice little, he had a nice reason of like, I'm doing this for my family. Clearly, I don't want to go. But I think he's really set him up for maybe not going to New York other than for ESPN for the next day. Yeah.

Kids would be like, by only gone, he'll just pull up a whole portfolio of what happened in December of 25. Especially the babies. Yeah, baby's getting sick. You're always stressful. Yeah, she's over one though, which is nice. Which is nice. Next game, Seahawks at Panthers.

Seahawks are favorite. Mine is seven and a half, Delaney. That's just too much. That line is crazy. Not what you're thinking. Going to overtime against the Rams and pulling it out. Crazy two-point conversion. Total points that game is 42 and a half.

Where are you going, sir? See, the thing, see, every game right now. scares me because you got the Panthers. Don't be scared. The Panthers are a team you cannot count out. They are a team that will come out and show up and play as hard as they can into the last fourth quarter of the game and usually come out on top. But they are playing the Seahawks. The Seahawks may be the best team in the NFC West. As we know for now, they have beat the Rams. That has set them apart. They are playoff. They are already in the playoffs. I think they got the number one seed. It's their seed to lose.

It's their seed to lose, like Taylor said. But the Panthers, man. The damn Panthers. So with all that being said, I love the intro. I am taking the Seahawks minus five and a half. Minus five and a half? Yeah. I love it.

Clay. I'm just, you're right, you're right about the Panthers. They're hanging around. We're looking for an excuse. Bryce Young has. continue to develop this year. I just feel like the Buccaneers defense last week, and it took a Baker-Mayfield, you know,

last second interception to seal that game. The Seahawks different. The Seahawks defense is different. A lot of alliteration there. A lot of deans. So many Ds. You know what I'm talking about, right? So many D's.

Patterns got low. Hamster stopped on the wheel. He's back. Get his own. Landless plane. This is a different defense, the Seahawks defense. And I think it's going to be a long day for Bryce Young. So I like the Seahawks money line here.

Ooh, yeah. You like the team that's favored by seven and a half money line. It's only minus 360. You're right. Parlay that. Parlay. A couple of easy boys. Right now, these are as close to guarantees.

The pack bouncing back against the injured Ravens. The Chargers being the Chargers going out and getting this dub against the Texans and the Seahawks. Like, I'm 3-0 right now. What are we talking about? I like it. What are we talking about? We are all a line, except for I took an under on a game, which we can both win. We can both win.

Bryce Young, six-game winning drives this season. It's the most in the NFL. He's having a Baker-Mayfield type of surge late in the season. I really like that about him. This note has nothing to do with the game, but I think we should give Sam Donald a little bit of credit here. Sam Darnel is the only quarterback other than who? Tom Brady to win 10-plus games in consecutive seasons with different teams. So, I mean, a friend of the show, got to give him some love on that.

He's definitely resurrected his entire career. I look at the Seahawks, the game we watched, 15-Lague Parlay. I know I'm drained by that, by you hitting that. It's like, whoa, what a crazy high. I can only imagine how the Seahawks feel winning that game and overtime. Getting a two-point conversion, that was, you know, if it's going lateral, it's backwards. If it's backwards, it's backwards. I think that's how Greg Olson gave it to us on Bustwin-D-Boys.

So everyone agrees that just, you got to, on a defensive standpoint, you've got to, I've finished every single play, finished with the ball in your hands of the balls on the ground. Very emotional win for those guys. After Sam Donald, the last time those two teams played had four interceptions. What I'm getting at here is Seahawks up here. Panthers are in this position when the NFC South right now. They just beat Tampa Bay, but no one's really talking about it. So I like the Seahawks playing a little bit down this week and the Panthers playing a little bit up,

knowing they have Tampa Bay the following week, the last game of the season. So I'm going to be taking the Panthers plus seven. seven and a half in this game. I like it. You like that? I do like it. I like it. I like it.

Put that thing in a boat. It's Christmas time. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I was gonna fuck with the Panthers but moved the line at first. Yeah, yeah. But you fucked with the Panthers by moving the Seattle line. I know. So basically you and I take the same thing.

I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Will Compton is going with the over of 42 and a half. I don't hate that. No, I don't. I don't hate that. We have Clay's Seahawks money line and Broncos's money line in a parlay and it's still only minus 247.

But what Broncos are playing? For Broncos money line for the rapid fire minus one. Oh, that's a separate. That's a separate Christmas Day parley. Yeah. Yeah. Those three go together. They don't, we're not running nine lights.

When you woke up in the morning as a kid, did you have just one present under the tree? No, there probably be a couple, even if one's just a pair of socks. Right? You're right. Two parles. A pair of socks is two. If we're getting crazy, by the way. That's our bad way.

It's okay. Don't let it happen again, a clump. All right. Trying to conduct the show here. Trying to conduct the show here. Continue on. Sorry, Clump has been doing that lately. I apologize.

Delaney, Jaguars. Oh. Oh. You good? Yeah, yeah, go ahead. If you want to take that. No, I was looking at my notes. Chat GBT.

No, bro. You seen chat GBT on here. You had it on last week. No, I did this to say. Obviously, it's right, though. A. You do what you got to do. Hey, I'm looking.

I did have chat GBTO. All right. Let's talk about the Jaguars. They're at the Colts. Philip River started dicing up the 49. early in the game in and it falling off late. Jaguars are favored minus six and a half. 12 points in the game is 47 and a half.

What do you have for us? Delany Walker. So I'm looking at... Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, Nick? Huge news. We created our own podcast called,

Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name

Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Rob.

Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm possibly looking at taking these Jags, man. These Jaguars right now are probably second to the hottest team in the AFC South behind the Texans. That's what I'm saying. The Colts. It's a hot take. I think. I mean, I don't mean to.

There is no. Go ahead. Let me hear what you got to say. Texas just squeaked by the Raiders, whereas the Jaguars went on the road. And beat an 11 consecutive win Broncos, too. I mean, if we're talking about who's hot and who's not, who you think hotter? I was just saying, Jaguars rolling.

Jaguars. And you see the Colts, man. You see the Colts. You got Rivers out there. And kudos to Rivers to go out there and play the game he's playing, doing what he's doing. I am happy for him. The only thing that threw me off about Rivers was the sea on his chest.

Too big? Yeah, the captains. But brother, they, they, There's no one on that offense outside of, well, no, there is. They got left tackle, running back. You're right. Quentin Nelson. I don't think it was a captain patch.

I think every player on the Colts had a C for the Colts on the left side of their chest. Oh, for real. I thought the same thing. Scratch you out that argument. Hey, Willis, with that being said, since I was wrong, I'm taking Jaguars. And y'all know I got to move the line. Just because the Colts move it up. Min is nine and a half.

No, no, no, no. Take a money line. Min is nine and a half. Wait, wait, hold on real quick. Before you give this, I just some, go ahead. Is Philip Rivers finishing out the season? I think the competitor that he is, he's going to want to see it through. Or do they go with Buddy, I don't even know his name, who stepped in last night from Notre Dame?

I think that's huge as far as... Wait, he played last night at the end? Yeah, at the very end. Okay. But, you know, because the Colts are all but out of the playoffs here. Philip Rivers go back to Alabama or... Damn, that man, that may... Is he living off him?

Beautiful. Beautiful. Yeah, no, I'm still... No. Have you been through Fairhope? No. Gorgeous. Been to Huntsville. Where he live in Alabama?

Yeah. I mean, I don't mean to put... Been to Florence. No, no, he's got... Van Tescaloosa. I'm into his house, but I'm just saying, have you been through Fairhope? No.

I just named a little town. I haven't. Beautiful. Anyway, I'm sorry to it. So I'm sorry to touch off. Just something to think about when you're going to move that line up to minus nine and a half.

No, no, I was going to move it to minus five and a half this week. Smart. It's just because, look, I don't know what the coats. The jaguars are hot right now, but you really don't know what the coats. Because the coach was a really good team and then a quarterback got hurt and then they fell off. So they're still a good team. It's just that missing piece of the quarterback.

Whoever can step in and make those plays for them. I think the coach can get back on fire. But I'm taking the Jags minus five and a half just in case insurance. I like the Jags here as well. I love the money line but I also I love moving that line as well, the Jaguar line. Yeah. Because I get a little nervous that. they're going to cover by more than six and a half.

Dude, I feel like I'm just like hosting a show and these two are just talking through the lines, just moving them back and forth. Hey, here's what I'm gonna do. If buddy boy plays back up to Riley Leonard. Riley Leonard. Win two. Notre Dame.

Right. Which just canceled their, bowl game. Their rivalry with USC. Did you hear that? Right. What? They couldn't reach an agreement.

Yep. Agreement on what? Money? Extending the rivalry money, I'm sure. Oh, I think USC wanted to play earlier in the year and. So there's something. Some sort of fine print. I don't know if it's money or not.

It usually is. Notre Dame's out. I heard there was talks about Michigan as well. That is now gone. And then one other big rivalry they had, they said, we're done with that too. All lies I'm making the playoffs every single year for Notre Dame. Wait, so no more rivalry week.

You talking about for these teams? Yeah, they don't want to play us see any more too difficult of a match. I heard, but, yeah, I mean, maybe there's other reasons. Michigan, too difficult. They just want to get these, they want to play like Central Missouri. Michigan's in a very scary spot right now. Wait, they may just move. USC to the big 10?

Right, but it doesn't matter. Notre Dame's not in any conference, so they can play whomever. Whoever they want, they choose. Whomever? So where you going? Five and a half? Hey, what's his name, Riley Leonard?

Riley Leonard plays, give me the Jaguars minus nine and a half. Oh, you like you? You see what I did there? Yes, I told you. Oh, shit. If Philip Rivers plays, just give me the Jaguars money line, okay? Ooh.

A little insurance policy. Little insurance policy. You took me on an absolute ride there. I'm thinking, oh shit, he likes Rylenter more than Philip Rivers. Then he all of a sudden he's with the money line right after that. Yeah. Starts or plays? Starts.

Yeah. All right. The Jaguars are the hottest team in the AFC right now. They're the only team to beat the Denver Broncos at home this entire year. The Colts are in a very scary predicament right now. They're about to make history. First time since 1985, a team starts 8 and 2 and may miss the playoffs. That team was the Raiders.

We said this on ESPN. People are saying we don't know balls sometimes. We talked about this early of how the Colts feel like they're about to go on a skid. Since that, since that claim was made on Get Up, the skid is taking place. I'm going to take the Jaguars. I think they're hot. The only cause for concern I have is you're now the top dog. You're up here.

So last week, the Denver Broncos, they became the top dog in all of the AFC. I started drinking the Kuli a little bit. Then they drop a little leg to the Jaguars. Now I'm looking around. Who's my next girlfriend? Well, that's the hottest girl in the room. Let me go with the Jaguars a little bit. that makes me a little nervous.

But the Colts, where they're at, it's very hard to start a skid. We've been on those teams where it's like nothing. And one thing is just not, don't go right, it never goes right. So I'll be thinking of the Jaguars

minus six and a half. Minus six and a half. Clump. Will also has the Jags minus six and a half. All right. All right. Duval. DeLani Walker.

The Bears are playing the 49ers at the 49ers. Tenors, total points in that game is three, and it is 51.5 points. Sir, where are we going? Great game. Great game. Great game. Projected great game. Yep.

And the 49ers didn't let me down Monday night. Did not let me down. I was waiting on that leg just to hit that 6 and O. Christian McCaffrey. Did you know for real? Did you know that you were on the cusp of greatness? Yes. Okay.

My fault? I smelled it. So with the 49ers, man, doing what they had to do, taking care of business, they have a short week. A short week to turn around against a Bears team. Yes, is the Bears offense as good as they could be? Maybe not. Is that defense taking away those balls? Are they number one in NFL for takeaways?

Yes, they are. Will they have? Would the 49ers have one of their best receiving threats? We don't know yet. We're still waiting to see what Kittle was going through, what injuries he is dealing with. So with that being said, if Kittle plays, I will take the 49ers. If Kittle don't play, I'm taking the Bears. And I'm moving that line till seven and a half.

What bears plus seven and a half? Plus seven and a half. So Kittle is worth negative four points to you. I get four and a half points. Yep. Okay. He's the only red zone threat. If he's not in the game,

he don't score in the red zone. CMC. I mean, Chris McCaffrey. He's about pretty through five touchdowns yesterday. Chris McCaffrey is a beast when it comes to that. But I'm talking about when you need somebody to take people, to heat off certain people, Kittle is that guy.

You're going to have two dudes on him regardless. That's going to leave somebody open. We know how good the Bears' defense get takeaways. If he's not out there, trust me. Them boys is going to be licking their chops. Oh. I think the 49ers obviously have a lot to play for. We talked about the Chargers winning out and be the number one seed.

The 49ers are in the same position. If they went out these next two games against all odds, they will be the number one seed. Have a buy. And guess where the Super Bowl this year is? Santa Clara. So they could have a home game throughout the playoffs. Excuse me. The Bears, amazing victory.

Obviously, a lot of momentum. It looked electric there at Soldier Field. but I'm not sold on their offense. You had the Packers' defense, had them bottled up all night. The time they really got in trouble was when the Packers couldn't generate any pass rush. And there's not a team that's hotter on offense right now. On offense, that is, in the 49ers. We saw Brock Purdy throw for five touchdowns.

Even if Kittle doesn't play, they were still just mixing around. Juan Jennings, you name it, Tanges, McCaffrey. I like the 49ers to win here. I like them to cover. Give me 49ers minus three. Yeah. I like all that. I will be taking the 49ers as well.

Interesting season storylines the 49ers have had. Brock Purdy's starts early in the season. Clearly, he signs that $200-whatever-million-dollar contract. He goes out. Mac Jones comes in. Mac Jones does a phenomenal job against big-time people, teams like the Rams. Conversations start to happen. Should Matt Jones be the starter when Brock Purdy's healthy?

I thought it was a ridiculous claim. However, that was the narrative that was taking place. You called Mac Jones early in the year. This cat's a... Yeah, I did. He's a dude. He's made himself a lot of money. He's sitting there happy and healthy on the sideline right now

while his boy Brock Purdystone, five touchdowns in the game, just last night because we're filming this on a Tuesday. Bears do have the second most yards per game as an offense. I think Ben Johnson really needs to be looked at for coach the year. I think there's a couple coaches in front of him, including the one that he's about to play this one, with Kyle Shanahan. When you look at the 49ers, not just this season,

but the last couple of seasons, it's this team is contending. They have all the talent in the world on offense and defense. They get injured. They fall apart towards the end of the season. season and then it's over for them. And that's kind of been the last few years. This year, they obviously had a lot of key injuries with Fred Warner and Nick Bosa going down on the defensive side of the ball. But Robert Saul of the defense coordinator, he doesn't, he doesn't flinch at any of those things. The pass rush isn't as good, but the defense in the

back end has been stepped up in a whole lot better. And on the offensive side of the ball, you got Trent going down early, you got a bunch of receivers going down early, George Kittle going down. But now this offense is starting to get healthy, including Brock Purdy. Then I sit back and reflect on. what's your relationship like the 49ers? Obviously, CMC friend of the show, George Kittal, friend of the show, Brock Purdy, friend of the show. And then I linger on that name, Brock Purdy a little bit.

And I will think back to a couple of years ago, I'm fresh out of the league, trying to find my way. I'm on K. Adams show. She's begging me for hot takes over and over again. I'm uncomfortable because these are kind of my guys. I'm not really out of it as much as I should be, but I am kind of out of it now. So should I bury the boys?

Should I not be able to, I'm kind of back and forth a little bit. I end up getting some intel from somebody saying, hey, Brock Purdy's not the guy. He's just as aliens over it. around him I like a dumbass take that message say I got this don't shoot the messenger this is just what I was told they go to the Super Bowl that year they don't win but they go to the super that year on the back of Brock Purdy all those reasons that entire story rounds me out to where we started which is 49ers

minus three that's where I sit on all this don't doubt I've already been proven wrong too many times to the point I'd be like yeah the 49ers are gonna get it done I can't take that many lashings yeah you know we'll took the over of 51 and a half. Good pick. That's a good pick. I hope he's seeing straight. I think he's hallucinating a little bit,

but I like that pick. All right, this is second to last game before the true classic game of the week, Lenny. I feel like you've been on point in today. Rams at Falcons. The Rams are favored minus eight and a half. And 12 points, 49 and a half.

So look, man, I've been in these shoes before. When you're a team that's already in the playoffs and you're playing a team that has nothing to lose, I've been on the team that had nothing to lose. And you lost. What I'm saying? They lost every time. You go out there and you sit in that locker room and you say, let's be the one to put the bad taste in that team's mouth.

Let's be the team to go out there and smack them in the mouth. Yeah. And get the diggling now. Let's be the team to make them defeat, right? And with that you're saying, the Falcons can be that team. Because the Rams, it's a lot of noise outside of the building. You got families getting arrested. Katz posted stuff going on Twit and joining all these.

Twitch. Twitch. Is it Twitch? Yeah. You're referring to Aidan Ross. Yes. Him doing the anti-Semitic, but he didn't know his anti-Semitic. Yeah. Still anti-Semitic. Letting YouTubers get you to do things on national TV. Just flexing. That's all. You were just flexing. I made a career off that.

That's all. Yeah, but you didn't rub your hand. I love the fact. To be honest with you. I didn't know what that mean. I didn't know either. I didn't know what that mean. Like to be fair to puka.

Yeah. Unless somebody was like told him and he still did it, that's one thing. But if someone was like, hey, rub your hands and flexing like, I wouldn't do it the same thing. Because I don't know. Yeah, because I don't know either. You know what's crazy is how much it bothered him too. So much that he had like 10 receptions for 220. I mean, we should take a moment of silence for him and hope that he bounces back.

But continue on with all these distractions. No, I'm just saying the distraction. He'm trying to get 80 in them in them in a minute. locker room to do interviews during this before the games and I just think they they already feel like they're there right this can be a team they may look over I'm not saying they're going to lose this game but I do not think they're going to play the best they can play to their ability against the Falcons because this is a team they already looking past and I told you all before sometimes good teams play to the bad teams level so with that be saying that eight and a half

is just too much guys out there if you are a mule or Jenny or a mulek, you will know moving that line makes more sense. So we're taking the Rams minus five and a half. You love five and a half. Clay? Five and a half. Yeah, I just think, Kirkow is just, you know, like you don't know what you're going to get from him.

You don't. He's going to throw for 300 and three tuds or he's going to lay an egg. But I think that offense goes through Bijon. He had another incredible week, I don't know, over 150 combined receiving. He was the leading receiver for the team. That just shows you, you know, how much of the offense he is. But I like the Rams. I think they got too much firepower.

I think despite their loss last week, would you just, once Rashid Shaheed had that punt return for a touchdown, it just kind of collapsed on them. But I think the Rams, I mean, they still score first in the playoffs. Sorry, in overtime. Like, they're still playing well. I don't know if they have a chance to. win the NFC, I guess if Seattle loses, so they're still very much in it. I think this is, I agree with you that plus or minus eight and a half is too much.

So just give me the Rams money line here. I'm not going to bother myself with spreads. No, I feel you. I hear you. I agree with what you're saying is like a lot of times some teams don't have, you know, nothing to play for so they want to ruin somebody else's season. However, the Rams have a whole lot to play for right now. that's trying to take over the NFC number one seat.

Matthew Stafford, the no-look passes. He's playing at an MVP level. He's the frontrunner right now. Sean Moubae, his play calling is unbelievable. They had two backs in the backfield that are running the ball very effectively. We brought a Puka, Nakul. He's got 165 yards plus in the last three games. I think he's the first second player in NFL history to ever do that.

CD. Then you look at Bijon Robinson. He's got 2,046 yards of total scrimmage yards this year. He's 40% of the Falcons offense. So I look at these offenses. Kirklandings, he's going to throw it for three or whatever, have a couple of TDs. He's also have a couple of interceptions.

That's just screaming to me points. And so when you look at a line that's this big, I love the fact that you guys are, hey, we're hitting money lines. We're hitting five and a half. For me, this is an over game. That's over 49.5 points. Oh, yeah. That's what I like.

I like. I think the Rams defense has cooled off a little bit. Matthew Stafford, he, regardless of distractions, reading things, he knows how he's playing. He knows that an MVP. He might be right around the corner for him. He wants to show that off. Bejan Robinson.

He's looking at the offensive player of the year. Or he's an incredible football player. Arizona kid. Can't disrespect it. And so I will, I'll be taking the over in that game. Will, Will has Falcons plus eight and a half.

Ooh, shit. Dirty birds. And the head coach go way back. Yeah, no, I know. He'll get that head coach is a good coach. And Kirk Cousin. Kirk Cousin, his dog. Yeah.

By the way, I love how Kirk's just. still doing his thing. He'll be just cashing checks. He is. Cache and checks. Thawing Tuddies. Ripping, man.

He's on that like A-Rod fuck-it plan at 10 years younger. He's just still like, yeah, 36. I'll be able to get the fucking plan. He's still getting 10 million as a backup. He's more of a fudget guy though, you know? Yeah, you think they keep him around next year? It depends. Is he?

Well, I mean, with Buddy Boy getting hurt coming off of ACL repair. I know. And you've already paid him. I'm making this. up 90 million or 60 million for two years. Yeah, well, how was he supposed to make next year? Kirk's contract is four years 180 mil. He has a fully guaranteed 2026 and 2027.

Oh, my God. They're going to keep them. Well, they get the offset if he goes elsewhere. Yeah, they get the offset. But I think as you see in this league, you need a backup. You do. Injuries are going to happen. Nothing derails a season as we just talked about with the Col.

It's more than not having a compatible. Is that a word? Comparable? No, comparable is competent. Competent. Yeah. Look at us. Nice job, Brian.

College students, baby. And then you see what Mac Jones does. So, I mean, all that to say. Like, I think. Mac is going to get paid, though. He's going to get paid. No, he signed a two-year deal, I believe. Am I?

Is that, would you check Mac Jones? I think he's stuck. A lot of guys. A lot of guys. Yeah. He'll be out of different team next year. Someone will trade from him. Someone will give him like a second.

Yeah. You need a quarterback. Who did a back up Brock? They got a guy. That's what I'm just saying. You got to have a back of a quarterback. I agree, but sometimes there's too much of a lucrative deal for you to say notes, and you're just like, now we just hope and pray.

Hope to God it happens. No, Rams. Rams. And they got the dude from Georgia. They got the quarterback from Georgia. Stetson Bennett. Stetson, yeah. He's the same age as Matthew Stafford.

I know. He old as hell. He's a COVID kid, right? But no, but yeah, he was in college during COVID. Allegedly. Yeah, so he's got an extra six years of eligibility. He can go back to college if he wants. We interrupt this episode to bring you True Classic, specifically the True Classic Pima T-shirt.

They got that little curve on the side. Grab the shoulders, grab the chest a little bit. Your boy hasn't been in a weight room and God knows how long. But when I put that t-shirt on, I think to myself, you know what, maybe you'll be all right after all. You'd find True Classic at Amazon and Costco Sam's Club and Target nationwide or online at trueclic.com. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news.

What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called Hempark. Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.

So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,

people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo.

True Classic Game of the Week. Every Sunday's got games, but one only fits just right. This is the True Classic Game of the Week. We're talking about the Philadelphia Eagles at the Buffalo Bills. of bills. Josh Allen, favorite at two and a half right now.

Total points in the game is 44.5. Delaney. Can anybody be better than the bills right now? This is late in December. Can any team be better than the bills? Can the Philadelphia Eagles go up to Buffalo and beat the bills? Upset the bills? Upset the bills.

Is this possible? What's the weather going to be like in the, in Buffalo. Weather report clump on it. Assuming cold. We're going to assume it's snowy, floory. That's Monday night?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 55% chance of snow. Oh, 75. Hey, Sunday during the day. It is 80% chance of snow.

Think about that. That's crazy. That's a sign. 80% chance of snow. And you've been hitting over 80% since we 10. Hey, this shit was like a miracle. You know what I mean?

It just came to me. It was clear. I was at that staple. I saw it. Yeah. Last snow game in Buffalo? I saw it. Yes.

I saw it come to life, man. Have you ever heard the theory of home alone? Theory of home alone. Of the guy, the old man being Jesus Christ. What? Oh, you know what I'm talking about? I did see. You know what I'm talking about?

I saw it on Instagram real. Yeah. It is a. miracle right now because I just learned that at the age of 42. So I am going to ride with the Buffalo Bills. The weather, the date and time of that game is going to make a difference. And I just don't see the Eagles showing up for it. Lane Johnson's coming back.

Mine is two and a half bills. And John Carter. Hey, boys, I was so fired up for the Packers Bears game that I didn't even know the commanders and Eagles were playing before I turned it on with four minutes left. So can someone tell me what happened? I saw the Eagles won. There's a fight at the end of the game. They clenched the division.

Yeah, Eagles, Eagles were down. They ended up coming back. Sequin Barkley had a couple of nice runs, but they played the commanders. Yeah, they played the commanders. Two weeks in a row, they played the Raiders. They've looked really good. They played the commanders look really good. What's the narrative?

The Eagles. Everyone's like, this team's back, look at them, their offense is figuring out all their issues right now. Oh, they're throwing the ball well. Sequin Barclay's running the ball well. those two teams, Raiders, commanders, muffins, right? Yeah. This isn't a continental breakfast, brother. It's time to get over it.

I like the bills at minus two and a half. Nobody's playing better than, we've been throwing that a lot. Nobody's playing better than, okay. Josh Allen is playing incredibly well. He'll get some MVP votes. I believe it still goes to Scafford, okay? But he's playing incredibly well. If the weather is, if it starts snowing, look for him to take over the game.

for him to run, extend those plays. I just feel like the Eagles are two up and down and the bills are just, they're rolling right now and they're still in it with the Patriots as far as who's going to win the AFCE. So give me the bills, minus two and a half. Yeah, I'm going to be taking the bills as well. I mean, the goal, the game playing for the bills on the defensive side of the ball is going to be keep the Eagles out of the Red Zone.

Keep the Eagles out of the Red Zone. They're the most efficient team in the Red Zone this year. So the issue has not been them scoring points. with 25 and in, the issue has been getting to the 25th. Because they can be a very stagnant office at times. They're not very creative in the running game. They're not very creative when it comes to their route concepts and how they attack other defenses.

Bill's defense has struggled against the run this year. That gives me a little bit of concern. But Josh Allen, the way he's been playing Superman for so long, it's not a sustainable level of winning for me. But if he can keep doing it for this year, this is the clearest path Josh Allen can have to the Super Bowl this year. Patrick Mahomes being out of it. it with Joe Burrow being out of it with Lamar Jackson on the fringe of possibly being out of it

this is going to be one of the only playoffs that you see Josh Allen's face and that's like oh that's the only recognizable face everybody else you're like who is who is that who is this it's all new it's all very fresh um I think the bills understand that I think the the eagles are kind of a pig with lipstick right now when it comes to like their offense and people are really excited about them love that Jalen Carter's coming back spit gate in week one and then you got lane Johnson who's an absolute war daddy like if he's not playing the game you know something seriously injured for him to come back that's just better for football big fan of his and the way he plays the game but i'm going to be taking the bills minus two and a half here it makes me happy to say that

will is also taking the bills minus two and a half so you all took the bills minus two and a half yeah i almost think i'm gonna i should fall on the grenade right here and just take the eagles plus two and a half even though i don't i'm out on the i'm out on the eagles how i'm out on Do we have a percentage on how many bets when we all take them? They either win or lose, no. Jared should have that. It's not good. It's definitely not that.

Anytime you see any sort of media and it's all lined up with the graphic of the same team, it flips. Yeah, I know. I know. But even like last week when we all took Oklahoma on Get Up, I'm thinking to myself, I should just take Alabama right now. I should take, and it would have changed the game. I really believe that. All I've seen was that all week. They'm all taking all.

I'm like, dude, we're too close to Alabama because I'm getting just non-stop. You bet Alabama too? You see the quarterback for Alabama? 7 and 0 then. I bet Alabama. That's my boy. You see the quarterback for Alabama?

Yeah. He took that graphic from get up and put it on the wolf emoji. Was he talking shit until you had the game? He came on the show. No, no, he's like he loves the show. No, I know, I mean like. In the game, no, he dabbed me up. He's like, I'm a fucking wolf today.

Oh, okay. I thought. I think. I think. Because he's, because he's, he's, because he's, he's, he's. Because when he did that and got like all hyped up, I'm like, I know this, he messes with the show. I know he's like fans of ours.

Yeah. But also, he probably did see us be like, we're not taking Alabama. Yeah, that's what I thought. He was like, all gay. Yeah, I know he liked us, but I just was like, it looked gassed up. Like he was like, I saw that. He had a completely different energy about him from the SEC Championship when we saw him to this game. Yeah.

The SEC Championship was calm. He was like, hey, good to see you guys. The whole thing. Very like, relaxed. this game he was like fuck this and then they go down 17-0 and you're like oh my god Alabama sucks they're terrible

ever since they played Tennessee they just ruined them and then they just came back and caught themselves a little dumb they're a little too one side for me to take the entire playoff though are those next are those next playoff games this weekend or do we have to wait next next weekend it's on yeah New Year's Eve and New Year's Day oh yeah New Year's yeah buddy

that's gonna be some fun games to watch yeah be on the lookout for teams that had a buy looking slow. Looking slow. I think they're going to be slow. Always. Always.

Two weeks? It's crazy. Except for Indiana and Ohio State, I think the team that didn't have a buy could skid a little bit here. Ryan Nolan got your stats. You are 8 and 11 when you all pick the same team. Yeah, I'll write all of us on that. See, man.

All right. That's a lot. That's a way better than I thought. Yeah, way better. I thought it was, yeah. So, fourth quarter. The old key, we kind of got that thing. What's my parlay if I was a

parlay all my bets so the so the so the last time you're asking a lot well the last time he read it off people took it and we hit and I you know I just had a lot of people they should wait they should wait for the meal a lot of people thinking he's gonna be six and oh we should parlay all of your picks you are right and I turn eight ten dollars into two hundred because most of the people wrote 10 you know yeah your unit is units you unit your unit yeah your unit no judges that's what I'm saying unit 200 is a nice good unit play out of your bet in seven $190.190. And I'm like, hey, why you bet nags?
