to the stadium or going big with a fireball kick at your tailgate, whether it's pregame shot in the tailgate lot or a celebratory touchdown shot at the bar. No matter what, it's guaranteed to ignite your game day. Now, bad news. There's only a little more than a week left of Spooktober. Every Wednesday, I sit, I do the show, I enjoy every single piece of it. I love it. But I know I get to look forward to a disgusting B-rated film that you get to show me, Galamy, and you told me that he goes to do some bullshit. You go to the airport. Not bullshit.

Something that doesn't matter. You actually didn't put any context on it. But you're the sad news. You're the sad news. I mean, yeah. Explain yourself. Man, kids come, you know, kids come before scary movies. You're about to say kids come first, but then you've given the other.

So, you know, I got to make that move. I'm supposed to flight a couple hours? They go to Portland? Yeah, I got to go to Portland. Got to get out there, you know. Duty calls, man. Duty calls, man, you know. Can't be a bad father.

Your girl dad? Yeah. Girl dad, straight up. Yeah, that's fair. Two girls. Oh, you're going to be used to that. I know. Three weeks away.

Yeah, you used to it. Three weeks away. Can I be honest with you, though? I don't know if I want a boy anymore. Oh, tell me more. I, every time I'm around a child that is of the male species. And they're under eight years old.

They're psychos. And it's nothing against the parents. I think all the parents I hang out with, I would say are relatively good parents. They're good. Everybody tries. Everybody tries. All of them are psychos.

All of them can't swim yet. All of them go to the deep end of the pool. Like they are crazy animals. And I look at my daughters. Yeah, they piss me off sometimes. I love them the death. But they do some things. And I'm like, bro, what are we doing?

but it's never to the extent of which I see some of these little boys and how they're acting. Girls are so sweet. Girls are so sweet and so kind. Let's just be honest. Yes. Not even close. Like how do we live for this long? It's crazy to watch some of these children walk around, not look, fall on the corners of things.

They always find the sharpest thing in the room and happen to fall on it. It's just, it's insane. And it seems like they talk so much to. They do. Anything they hear, they're going to repeat that thing. I remember. See, my daughters, bro, I had one situation. I was like kind of just going through Instagram as every individual does.

And my daughter was like kind of watching. And I like swipe up on one of the reels and someone goes, this mother fuck. And I just, whoop the next one. And it's like quiet for a second. And one goes, what does mother fucking mean? Like straight up. And I was like, oh, honey, I think you misunderstood. He said mother trucker.

She's like, what does mother trucker mean? It's a mommy truck. All right, let's move on. It's a mommy truck. But, bro, just to hear, first off, my kids do not have not cursed. That's the only time she said to curse without knowing she was cursing. There's, I don't think there's a lot of things funnier than hearing a child. Yeah.

Drop like a hard F-bomb. And Winn dropped it to my face. Will you hit damn every now on this? Will she really? Right. You, you know, you're a big damn guy. Damn it. And then she'll be in the car scene and she'll, you know, you're, damn it.

And she was like, Will. And I'm like, this is hilarious. Like, this is exactly what I want. It's like, yeah. you don't want that, you don't want it, but it is fucking funny. It is absolutely. And they said like perfectly too. It's like at the right moment.

It's like, yeah. They said, you know, something happened. She's like, damn, because you get a bump. When they get to middle school. I'm sitting around, give a high five. Oh, sweetheart, don't say anything. When they get to middle school, they're going to be sitting there. And once they learn what curse words were, did you go through the phase with like every other word was fucking this or fucking that?

Not when I was in school or around people, but around my friends or something like I cut. middle school was the phase. Yeah. Where you're just thinking every other, every sentence ends with fun. Yeah, recess, cussing you out. And sometimes your friends start to judge you. Okay, you're going to be. No, in middle school you think they judged.

Some friends. Some friends were judging. You had some good friends. You had some good friends because I thought we were all on the same page. We were all sad. Yeah, we were all on the same page. There was a couple words said out there. I regret.

But, you know, you just kind of let them. What I regret, like, we were talking about these boys being savages. Like, I remember my dad owned a gym. And for whatever reason, I think I hit somebody in the nuts one time, and it got a laugh. And so I just went around the gym and started to sack, tapping. Oh, you was that kid. And I think back on it now, and I'm like, what a little shit I was. No, no.

That's not funny. Yeah, I hated those little. That's not funny. I hated those little kids. And you know, those grown men were just looking at my dad like, yo, get your fucking psycho son. Exactly, having boys, which brings us all the way back around to the beginning of the show. And you had the regular, your original teeth, too. You probably looked crazy as fuck.

Why didn't, like, I had to grow into those teeth, unfortunately. Those were the teeth I had throughout my entire adult life because they were that small. Yeah. I shouldn't have chippy. You never got your grown-up teeth? Yeah, he doesn't always had them a little bit. I still have my wisdom teeth in. Little chickles.

I mean, I still got baby teeth, too, so I was in that same boat. When did you get fake teeth? I never got fake teeth. Bro, your teeth are real. He's thinking about it, though. These are my teeth. You're thinking about, though. You mentioned it.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I said it was, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, they're real. Yeah, that's my real teeth. Got white teeth, man. Yeah, white, I mean, black gums. You're saying that contrast is crazy. Yeah, it just makes it look white. Yeah, hey, good for you having that white of teeth.

Thursday night football. Yeah, that's good. Congratulations on having nice to the white teeth. But also, hey, but also, DeAndre Hawkins is the Chiefs. Yo, man. As we're sitting here speaking, that just happened to. morning. Yeah. Yeah, dude. What are our thoughts? We were kind of talking about it on buss and it's like when G was asking like what do you do and you were kind of like, you know,

here are some different scenarios that you could look at. Like, you know, a guy like D'Andre, he still has some juice left. He's obviously older, but he can still produce probably for a team like the Chiefs. Yeah. Yeah. But when you're in a situation like Tennessee, it's almost like you've got to go around the locker room and see like what guys aren't going to ultimately make like this locker room and this team better. Like I don't think he's like a liability in the Definitely not. But it seems like he's like checking out of games. You can kind of tell with his presser.

After the game, like he was kind of nonchalant about everything. So I feel like the Titans kind of just made a move like to start playing it for the future. There's a few names floating around on the trip. No, it's a few. I mean, but that picture is clear. I've heard Jeff. I've heard Harold. See, I don't think you want to make that move with Jeff and Harold.

Because the issue right now, unfortunately, is a quarterback play. But you guys you have good talent all around you. Deirdre Hopkins, I completely understand because not. saying the liability part, but just trickly thinking about the player, like, he's only got so many snaps left of, like, the opportunity to possibly win a ring. So maybe as a Titans, you're like, we know we're not contenders this year. We know we're not going to be that team this year. Maybe we just, you know, kind of do this guy solid. Now, it could be the absolute other way around where he's a liability. He's, you know, a vampire. His energy suck in the locker room.

Right. Like, his care for pouring all into the team probably just isn't there or what it was. Yeah, he goes from one in five to now he's at a six and no football football. team. Yeah. Like, new juice, new excitement. He's got, you know, arguably he got the baby goat at the helm who's going to be able to give him the ball, even though his stats aren't that good right now. He'll get the ball.

And it's a spot too where it's like you almost, you worry about, you want DeAndre so badly to be like a leader on the team to where he goes to somewhere like the chief, so you don't have to worry about it. It's like, how can we just get him to football? Because you got your leadership, you got your like goaded quarterback. Yeah. The pulse of that team is going to run on that. That's a be a leader.

He's just going to fit in and probably play well with the Chiefs. Yeah, I think it's going to be. We'll be looking at it like at Week 16, 17 and being like, look at DeHop. Look what he's doing. Why don't we have that? And it's like, well, there's a lot that goes into it. The Chiefs are in that kind of like Patriots era right now. Well, you can just take players and just put them in.

They're going to be well. Because they're surrounded by good leadership, surrounded by talent, surrounded by great coaches. Like, it's like you can't really fail. But if you did Titans, you got to look at it, Buffalo game, he pretty much takes itself out the game. doesn't play at the end like you said Prescott he was

nonchalant like oh you know it was some some start aggravating me I didn't want to you know I didn't want to re-injure it I don't we don't know he never said what he hurt probably knowing too that he's on the trading block yeah I mean yeah because you

but you got to think about it our media here in Tennessee always expect the best player going to get traded so they went at him with no knowledge of him being traded saying oh we heard you getting traded and he

he answered it correctly like, well, I didn't hear that. I'm going to go and do my job like I've been doing, play hard every week. And then that week came. And I think he only played with 10 snaps. He did play a whole lot. Yeah. Well, hopefully that's the end of trading, though, because you still, you've got talent. I hope it is, dude, because you've got talent in that Titans locker room.

You get rid of a guy like Jeff or a guy like Harold or, you know, get one of your running backs or something like that. It's like, now you get a quarterback. next year, whether it's free agency or in the draft, you have less talent on that football team now. Yeah, but also, like, to play devil's advocate, if you feel like the culture of the players is kind of like dispersed or not like toxic, but the buy-in just might not be there culture-wise. Like, you need to start getting guys like new blood to where you can build the culture if they're betting on the coaching staff in the long run.

Yeah. I know there's not that safety blanket either, like that Derek where you can just be like, hey, we're just going to run it the whole time. That's what they lost. They lost that blanket. Yeah. But you've been in worst times. You've been in those dark days with the Titans.

You know how it is. We had guys like yourself, me, Jarrell Casey, Derek Morgan, leaders to lean on. When we was in the rough day, they wasn't going to trade guys like us because they knew we were leaders. If you trading guys away that are guys that are performing, obviously they don't see those dudes as leaders. That's how I look at it. We don't know what the dynamic is in that locker room because we're not in there. But when we was in there, we fought. We made guys accountable.

They're not doing that right now in that locker room. And it shows. Yeah, you got to have those very uncomfortable player-led meetings. Yes. Where they don't only think about what they're going to say, but they know they got to say something. They got to say something. Guys, we got to be better.

You know it. All right. Keep going. What else you got for us? That's it. That's it. We got to be better. Those are so hitting this.

They are so uncomfortable. Like you need somebody that's really well-spoken to get up there and say something. but we had one year where we had like all four captains stand up and then one guy said something for like 10 minutes but I really don't know exactly what he said and then the guy like basically just reiterated with the last guy said and then that guy

reiterated and you're just thinking yourself we're just wasting time bro we had Deshawn Goldson one year you know Deshawn he's a stud I love the Sean but he didn't even stand up we was having a player meeting and then all you see him do is he just puts up his hands he got to play like this

Cutts in there and I have a grin on my face like, yo, what are we about to hear? He's like, we got to start playing like this, fam. We ain't got no other choice. Beat up. We ain't got no other choice. He's got to be ready to pull the trigger tomorrow. He's like, I got a homie in Afghanistan.

He's got to be ready to pull a trigger on a kid. We got to take the safety off. He's bringing up Afghani kids. He's the fucking pep talk. I got a homie in Afghanistan. That is so fucking uncomfortable. Oh, God. From a CFO just sitting down in his chair, too.

This shit was, that shit was all the time. You see. He's one of the best. He would knock you out. Yeah. Trading. Yeah, I told you here when we talked about that? Oh, no, you was.

I was. I told you all, Max, yeah, he's a guy that's going to fight for his team, but why that team looked right now? Well, that's what you're saying. That's the point you was trying to do. Yeah, that's the point. Like, I don't care. I don't believe that was the point.

Yes, that was the point, bro. You was comparing him and clowny. No, because he brought that shit up. He wasn't talking about it. He brought it up with Clowny. So I started talking about Clowny being comparable to him. But I'm saying, that man don't want to be there. Anytime you're in a hard situation and the team ain't doing good, I don't care who you are.

You want out. You must not watch the rush because he actually talks about those allegations and said he wants to be a raider. Yeah, that's what DeHop said too. It don't matter if the team trades you. It ain't got nothing to do with you. You get traded. You get traded. And Mass cars being Detroit would be in Detroit would be nasty, though.

Yeah. That's like the rumor too. That's the rumor. Detroit? Like Detroit have an interest in Harold. You kind of want to get a guy with Ed. Hutchison going down. Snapping that lay, that thing looks like origami.

Yeah. Yeah. Tough. Heartbreak hotel. Thursday night football? Let's talk ball. Thursday night football. We got Vikings.

The favorite minus three versus the Rams. The total points in that game is 48 points. Well, where you going, baby? Vikings, man. I feel like this is a, it's a weird line. that Draft Kings has given us with just minus two and a half because Vikings are, I mean, in my mind, they're like a contender. Yeah, five and one.

And the Rams, like Cooper Cup, he's on the trading block. Like, obviously they're battling with their own injuries. But on Thursday night football, I just feel like in primetime at L.A., I like the Vikings traveling, especially after having a tough loss of the Lions. Very competitive game. Obviously, they lost by a field goal. Yeah. But I like the Vikings minus two and a half.

Again, I like the Vikings, too. You got to remember, they're the only team that's ranked in both categories in the top six, scoring offense and defense. Yeah, they had a tough loss against the Lions, but the Lions arguably can be a better team than the Vikings. As we say, you know, you go out there, you play the toughest game you can play. Can they turn around, play Thursday night after playing a physical game like that? I think they can against the Rams again. They got a lot of injured players out there.

And two and a half, I just think that's pretty close. So got to go with the Vikings, Sam Donald. You may get TJ back this week. So, I mean, now they're going to have another threat to catch the ball. It's exciting and see what happened. So I'm definitely going Vikings. Yeah, it makes me nervous that it feels like Vegas knows something that we don't. Because I feel like this should be like a four and a half, five and a half.

Well, it's that quick turnaround after that tough game. Yeah. Yeah. And also, like, Stafford, he had statistically one of his worst games as a line. Didn't go very well. The number one receiver in that game was 2-2 at well. Don't even know who that guy is. No disrespect, two-to.

Like six or something for the Rams? For the Rams? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And but I think the only thing that's giving me pause about going with the Vikings, I'm still going to go with the Vikings is there's a lot of talk that Cooper Cup is going to come back this week after having that ankle injury in week two. Guy like Cooper Cup on the field opens up your playbook in a massive way. No doubt. No doubt. The clip that lives in infamy, in my opinion, is him and his post-game interview on the field

talking about coverages and the safeties moving over and how he was able to dissect it. And he sat in the zone hole just a little bit. His IQ is up there. The guy just completely understands football to a completely different level, knowing that he has a quarterback like Stafford, who understands the game just as much, if not better than Cup. I think those guys, if he does win the game, is going to have a lot of success.

Even coming off an injury might have a little bit of rust. Another thing to look at, though, with the Vikings, our boy T.J. Hawkinson, friend of the show, might be making his premiere in this game. No shit. Yes. Last year, I mean, last year had 95 perceptions for 960 yards. before he got hurt.

He's a monster. He hasn't had a thousand hurt. He's a guy. The guy is an absolute stud. Need him back. I think any way you slice this game, I see the Vikings covering. It kind of goes back to like, what does Vegas know that we don't? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because I think Vikings overall are a better team. I think the NFC, the two teams are, the lions and the Vikings. And how true is that I saw a rumor of Stafford being shot to the Vikings? Anybody else see that rumor? No, I thought it was. Is that a real? Is that real? You think it's just a rumor?

Just a rumor. I think it's just a rumor. Okay. I was going to say that would be pretty crazy because Donald's been playing well. Been playing well. Very well. Why would they do that? Well, I mean, you got your staff are going over like O'Connell and then they come from that McVeigh train. I understand, but. So you can see him being on the phone, you know. That mess up chemistry in the locker room. You got a dude that's out there bawling right now and sign.

I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm with you. But they did. Again, maybe just a rumor. Their defense did play terrible against the lines. That's probably what Vegas is saying that they defense didn't play so great against the lines. And to your point, turning around too on a Thursday night game after a physical game like the Lions. Yeah, so we'll see. Games of the week? Games of the week. Games of the week.

Gams of the week. Brought to us by Sport Clips. This football season, don't walk around with helmet hair like a total rookie. You've been in the game long enough to know that how you wear your hair matters. And just because your team's mascot as a Wolverine doesn't mean you should have to look like one up top. Keep your head in the game and go to sport clips. It's called a Hail Mary, not a Hair Mary. Don't just go anywhere.

Head over to the pros in men's hair. They'll have a perfectly crafted game plan to make you look your best. No halftime adjustments needed. Remember, the difference between an okay cut and a great cut is called Sport Clips. It is a game changer. Who would like to start this one off? Go ahead, Delaney. By the way, hey, Sport Clips.

Show them that little fady guy yesterday. Give them a little taste of juice. I haven't watched my hair, so don't. It's okay. I think a little grease in the hair is good. Very, very oily. Yeah, very oil. And I don't have the head of hair like you do.

I understand the greasiness. laughing back there for us. Hey, they got a way of making it a little insecure, huh? You see the darkness over there and the cure a couple of giggles. I know my shit. I know my shit when it gets greasy and like pat it down. You can see my, you can see the M in my head a little bit more. You know what I mean?

The R. The M. Yeah, the corners of my head be out there hitting the outside zone. It's all good. We all got. Gashing me. We all got. Gatching me right now.

Gatching me. Who you got Delany? Give me the week. Man, I'm a, you know, you know I can't go against my guy who got. who got it better than us. Nobody. Jim Harbaugh, right? Tough loss versus the Cardinals, bro.

Tough loss. Two points. And I took that. I won that last week. I got those units, you know what I'm saying? 51% last week. Huh? 51%?

Yeah, I got those units. But, you know, Chargers, you know, you got Justin Herbert. I hate to say this. We're going to have to depend on the running game a lot this week. The man can throw the ball. We just got to have, you know, the guys out there catching it, making plays down the field. for them. Or not fumble it in the end zone.

Or not fumbled in the end zone. I mean, even though they had to lean on their past game a little bit more, you can still see that they could throw the ball. They could throw it. They had like 400 total yards of offense and 350 of it came in the air because Cardinals did a good job of shutting down run, which is kind of surprising. But they're going to need their run game against these boys. Saints is pretty banged up.

We know that. Saints is sitting on pretty banged up. We're going to lean on the defense to get out there and stop that rookie quarterback from making any type of plays. And that's, you know, Cleo Mac, Morgan Fox, and Darwin James, they're going to have to show up this week. This is going to be a defensive game. Shut those boys down, let the offense control the ball. And the charges will get that dub.

And that's minus seven, so I'm taking charges. I know points are a lot. But I am with you. I feel like the culture is bad right now with the Saints. You've got rookie Spencer Radler out there. They're banged up as well. What is it, Rashid? He's out.

Yeah, he's out. He's out. He's, Alave does come back, so that'll give him a weapon on offense. But I feel like the defense, they're 29th in the league against the run. Chargers, they are as much as they struggled running the football last week, I do feel like this is like a get back on track, like a GEOT for the charges. Because they are a playoff team. Like they play like playoff style football.

Definitely. They just can't turn the ball over. Harball is a culture guy too. Anytime they have a loss like you did against an inferior team like the Cardinals by only two points, hard ball is the dude that gets the boys right, get him going. Big win for the boys coming up. I agree with you 100%. The Saints, dude, first two weeks scoring 90 points.

I know. Just having an offense that's like, you know, maybe Derek Carr is back, maybe thought he was when he was in Oakland. He was going to get after it. And now it's just kind of turning to this like injuries or starting to stack up on the boys or having a hard time moving. Points on the field. Points are in points and points just going up on them.

I can't imagine how our boy Cam Jordan is feeling. He's just been there for 13 years. Is it 13? 13 years? 13. Yeah. Crazy. 13, one team.

It just, it's just heartbreaking. for a guy like that man but yeah I'm definitely into Mario too linebacker the middle but again like 29th against the run it's like the chargers they fumbled three times last week they gave two to them you know with the whole emphasis this week is establishing the fucking run yeah and holding on to the ball guaranteed yeah um my game of the week matter of fact we actually before we get to that we did have a special guest call in we had a special guest calling for the saints chargers the boy jerry we're going to play this clip right now coming from our good friend stew finer he had a few words for this game

Hello, Will. Hello, Taylor. Hello Delaney. First of all, I fucking love you. I fucking love you. I fucking love you. Second of all, let's break down the Chargers Saint game. Saints are injured, lost, incompetent, have nothing. Chargers offense is very suspect. But I'm going to lay this touchdown with the charges. I think Harbaugh bounces back. I think it'll be an easy victory. Let's say Chargers by 10.

I love you. I love you guys. I fucking love you. That's my guy. Yeah, Stu's the fucking man. That makes us all feel good about this bet too. Everybody out there should feel much better. Stu, he's a guru in the industry.

Yeah, he knows what he's talking about. He's been doing it since the 80s. Yeah, he's been doing it since the 80s. And if you guys want to know about Stu, want to know about Stu, he was on Bustin with the Boys last year this time. Yeah. And it's really one of those where Will and I just sit there and listen and just hear incredible story after incredible story.

Guys, unbelievable. He was awesome at the Beardons. games too. Oh, he's awesome. He's just over there in the corner doing his own content. Yeah, the whole time. The whole time. Sprinting the shirt off. Free roll, wait and roll, wait to roll. Will, I love you. Do you want me to make some content? Stu, do whatever you got to do out there, brother. Okay. You're the best. Can I get Delaney? Yeah, go get them. Just go ask him. Just go ask him. I got one for you, boys. Nineers, Dallas. Right now, the, uh, the spread on this game is, uh, Niners are favored by

four at home. The over under is 46 and a half. I was. There was a part of me that was like, all right, Dallas is in shambles. They're coming off of a bye week. This could be a bounce back game for them. But the more I dug into it, the more it's like, I think Dallas might be done. I think the McCarthy era might be over with. There's so much bureaucracy and politics that surround Dallas,

like year in and year out constantly. And I feel like they have hit there. What do you got? Well, I was going to say that, yeah, that's a great point. Like, there are so many policies to go on, but they have a weird way of just holding on the coaches. Like usually teams like the Panthers who like get rid of coaches after like six months.

Jerry Jones just always seems like he's like dealing, like has his coach for like a decade before he finally like, he holds on him like two years too long. He's still old school. These other owners, they moved on to this new school type mentality two years. If you ain't performed, you're out. Right.

And that's what's happening. He's still old school. He's the owner, GM, prosecutor. Yeah. Judge, jury executioner. Yeah. I want to kill your flow state going on. No, I mean, you guys are right.

Like even with him holding on the McCarthy as long as he has, like it's one of those situations. to where they'll be bad this year. He'll have an out with McCarthy because he gave him all the extra chances he had. McCarthy, it's kind of like the buddy system going on with that staff over there. Mike Zimmer, he's a good decontator, well-known coordinator, but their defense is atrocious, bro. And if anybody's going to expose it, it's going to be the outside zone with the deniers. And although they are banged up, Ayuk is out for the year with an ACL, right?

ACL MCL MCL. ACL, MCL. They are banged up, but if anybody's going to find a way, I'm betting on the team. team that has consistency that is stable inside of that building. And I feel like that is the 49ers. And again, like Dallas, the Zimmer defense I got to play in it when Paul Gunther was our DC in Oakland. Paul Gunther is also the run game coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys. Eric Kendricks, their one guy, their quarterback of the defense. He's questionable right now. I don't know if he's returning this week. He might. He might not. But I just know, like, that is a, I hate to say it,

but that is like a finger pointing system. The moment things start to go wrong, the playbook is massive. I'm talking the third down call sheet is insane. The playbook is massive. It feels like one of those staff. I know it's one of those systems to where they want to coach. And when they win the game, it's because of coaching, not because you're leaning to the strength of the players. And I feel like the Niners are going to be able to expose this defense even more than they already have.

The outside zone scheme, the play action, Purdy. He's a stud even though he's lost IUC. George, the boy, he's kind of questionable this week with a foot injury. But I believe in that the staff with Shanahan, the continuity that they have. have they have a very much a next man up mentality and i like the niners i like the niners with four points and i do i think dallas's run i think it's going to get ugly this yeah it's hard to look at this game and feel confident about a bet either way because everything you said about dallas is correct the thing that worries me about the 49ers is the amount of injuries but who the injuries are

happening to the leadership in that in that room that lock room that we've all kind of consistently said probably the best locker room in all the NFL you're seeing these guys kind of get hurt now kiddle is is questionable i think he is i think he's i think he's going to play. He will. And a guy on these types of games, use check. I think this is one of those games where Shanahan dials up, like sleepy rollout passes, and he's just sitting there on the sidelines. He catches himself. I think this is an over-reception game for use check. As we sit here on Wednesday, those odds are not out yet. That is something that I'm really going to look into and buy into his solo stats that game. I think Kittle eats because there's not a lot of guys out there.

Debo was hospitalized for pneumonia. Like a yuk, like you said, is out in the Caffrey is out like Trent Williams there was two kickers two kickers have gotten hurt making tackles crazy yeah Trent Williams there's rumors about him being uh ejected for uh or he got ejected but he's he's he coming back no he's not getting suspended because we we watch the film you can see that dude throw a punch at him and he was retaliating dumb move by one of the goats if not the go to the office line however he's he's going to eat that $50,000 fine and keep it pushing so he's coming back having him on the field is obviously anytime you have a Trent Williams on the field.

Like, you're in a good position. I'm with you on the 49ers. I think this is a sloppy game because of all the injuries and how abysmal the Cowboys are. The Cowboys should have hired Mike Rable last year. What's the spread? Or Bill Belichick. Four points.

Oh, that's easy. 49ers, especially if they get Trent back. He's going to be upset about that that craziness that took place. Obviously, he did get hit back, but, you know, he got hit first and then he threw that punch. They always catch the second, man. Always catch a second guy.

That's pee-wee football one-on-on-one. That's pee-wee football. I think he'll go cover. being hostile and they're going to run the ball to the left a lot just wait yeah I think too it's like the Niners they're three and four right now and Dallas is three and three like both these teams I feel like they handle they're it's all about who do you believe that's handling this losing the loss is better than the other and I do I feel like it's like the continuity they allow it to motivate them whereas with Dallas I feel like a lot more finger pointing you know that happened a lot of

people are going to be calling for McCarthy said you know Jerry Jones is going to be out there doing interviews. A lot of guys being like, I'm doing my job. Like, nobody else is doing that thing. I'm still bawling. Yeah. You're talking like that. 49ers. I just don't do not see that world at all. A lot of leaders on a 49th. Sell us on your Game of the Week, bro.

So Game of the Week, my game of the week is going to be the Ravens. I'm taking the Ravens minus eight and a half. And they are at Cleveland. Now, I know James Winston has officially been called a starter. Could give you a little bit of a pause. I think he gives you some juice. He gives you some juice, no doubt about it. Nick Chubb?

James Winston, pre-game speech? The Brown's fan base. the locker room. It's just, yes, James is going to be a guy that is going to add juice to that. I just think with the way the Ravens are functioning is out of fucking control. If they were to go see the Chiefs again that they did in week one, now you got to remember in week one, Thursday night football, the Chiefs and the Ravens play, the Ravens could have tied that game if it wasn't for one knuckle of a toe. Otherwise they tie that game. At that point had not figured out how to use Derek Henry in any way. A lot of penalties.

these very sloppy. Last year, 2023, the Ravens were under center 11% of the times. 11% just their game a couple weeks ago on October 6 versus the Bengals, they were under center 26% of the snaps. They're starting to understand how to use Derek Henry, how to get him

under center, and how to get the ball. You are talking nice right now. Now I know I know we don't, we can't afford it. Listen, if you guys came on this show to see NFL actual highlights where I can sit up on this great board, we can't do that because according to Pat McAfee, it costs millions. And millions of dollars.

But what I will do for you is show you a little bit of money. We're the great value Mac for show. Yeah, great, great value Mac for show. Oh, no, no, no, no. Hey, just put that back on that. Okay. And then, yeah, yeah. It's the flip down there in the middle.

It's the middle. You never, you never been a teacher? No. How do you get this? How do you get this? It goes and then then they're going to push it down. There you go. Yeah.

be that right side you're pulling out. I'll just hold it. You're good. You're good right there. Just do your thing. Okay, 80-yard run by Derek Henry last week. This is a bread and butter play. This is literally where Harbaal goes.

How do we get this guy going? We're going to go and we're going to look at the running left, which is the most important thing. Anytime you want Derek Henry to be successful, you run left. This play is a day one install type of thing. This is called 19-force. Now, in this play, when you go back and watch it, because we can't afford it,

you're going to see this tight end right here. Incredible block. This block is called a triple between the tight end and the left tackle. Those who are attacking him to the Mike linebacker. If you can get this bounce read and those you're wondering what a bounce read is, the Sam, the Sam being inside the tight end, once he's inside the tight end, that means that read for the back is very clear. Can we catch the edge?

Can we do that? So this, Trey is going to go to the mic. Hard block for the three technique here. You didn't hit the outside shoulder. Get that guy moving at this direction. You can give him in a 45-degree angle, boys, we're fucking living the dream. Center, this is going to be called a single. So backside, ABC is backside, front side, single double, and then finally triple.

This is like one of those pseudo A blocks. Really, it's that two-eye cut off for the right guard, and that center is going to go and take on that plug. This is the easiest block right here for the right tackle. It's a take two. It's a man-sift type of situation. You're taking this end, and once this will either goes over the top, you go to him. If the will goes to chase, you take the end and you just live there. Now, the fullback has the force player.

Number three in the situation is going to come in and try to get everything to go back inside to flush it to where his cavalry is. That full buck does an amazing job hitting that block. Now, Derek Henry already ahead of steam. You're using his fourth or fifth step and this free safety comes in. You can rewatch the film boys. The free safety didn't want any of the smoke when they came to Derek Deer. Not at all.

Jumps out hard. Looks like J.P. Hovey at corner a little bit. He's jumping out, trying to get him. get everything, go back to everything. This guy jumps on the dime board. Derek Henry, 80 yards only to get tracked down by the corner on a great angle. Ravens are really figuring out how to play football and they're maybe the most potent offense.

Great breakdown. Great breakdown. Best show yet. Best show yet in the comments. Hey, I thought a triple was with three people. Nope. That's why you didn't block when you're at the Titans. I'm sure triple means three.

Triple does mean three. So if you're looking at combination blocks, how many times you have three guys on one guy it's three defenders right there those three guys those three the full bag got the force this is I hate the fact that I'm going to have to explain this to a tie-in but triple is an outside zone combination block between the why and the left tackle

going to the mic in that situation all right triple means three that's only two people triple does mean three it's also in baseball terms you land on third base that was a good job Thanks, man. I appreciate that. So that being said, I'm thinking the Ravens. You know if you want to get up on the board.

Thinking Ravens, nice and a half. Yeah, you want to write a little something up? Let me go coach. All right. Ballsy picks this week brought to you. Well, hold on. You're taking Bravens? I'm taking Browns.

What? I'm taking Browns. Dude, I like, I like James getting frisky. And how many points is it? Eight and a half. Eight and a half. Oh, eight and a half. I'm taking Ravens.

They ain't stopping there. You crazy. Obviously, it's a hot hand. We've all been consistent across the ball. board on all four picks. I like. Yeah, I like that. I like a spot right here for the Browns. And they're at Cleveland, yeah? Yeah, yeah. The dog pound. I like the James Winston. It's a good separator going in. James Winston. We can all be on the same page. You're right. Just a little spark for just a second. I like the Ravens playing so well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ravens playing so well, maybe a little trap game type deal. They are going to win this game, but I like the eight and a half points in track. How many touchdowns did Derek have last week? One, two? I don't think he had any. Yeah, he had one. Yeah, he caught a pass. The boys parlay was... Derek? Caught a pass? Yeah. Took it in, yeah.

It took it in. Yeah. Oh, my God. All right. Wow. Saw the rushing stats and I was like, all right, still ran for a hundred and however many yards, 11 yards per carry. He caught a pass. Caught a pass.

And took it into the house. Juked the dude. Yeah. No. What? No. Got out there, sat it down. Boop.

Yeah. Dish. Touchdown. All right. All right, Derek. Okay. Our Balsey picks this week, presented by Fireball. Ball whiskey. So many things make football great, but you know what the best thing is, kicking

the living shit out of your rival. There's absolutely no better feeling as an athlete or fan. This week, the rivalry, which we will talk about later, Michigan, Michigan State, battle for Michigan is coming up, and Fireball Whiskey is here to give you the spark to ignite that rivalry all season long. Grab your football buddy, buy around and reignite that rivalry flame. Reignite it, boys. Reignite it. Let's start off with that ballsy pick. I can start off. I went last on the game in the week.

My ballsy pick this week, and it's a scary one, I'm going to take Washington Money Line versus the Bears. And there's a lot of people rolling their eyes right now. Why is that scared? Why? Yeah. Because Caleb Williams and his game against the Jags threw for 22nd for 22nd and for 22nd. For 22nd and for 22nd, for 22nd, for 22nd. The 20s. The kid is finding. Jags. That's the Jaguars.

Let's look at the defensive they played. Rams are ranked 25th. Panthers 32nd. If there's a 33rd, they would be there. Jaguar's 30th. And the Titans is well all day. They play well. defensively and scoring their 21st in the league.

So you like it? Oh, I love Washington in this game. I'm just saying I don't think it's scary. Jane Daniels being out this weekend. Marcus, I mean, Marcus balled the fuck out. That was the reason why I was taking him. 18 for 23, 200 yards, two touchdowns, zero interception? I thought you was taking the Bears.

No, no, I'm taking the commanders. Oh, okay. Bears are favored at Washington. Are you shitting me? At Washington. Yes. And I know the defense of the commanders have been the biggest question mark going to the season.

With Frankie Louvre and Bobby Wagner, the two linebackers there, their defense has become more consistent. And now they've gone from a bottom tier team to I think they're ranked 14th overall. Yeah, they're in the middle of the back now. Yeah, they're in the middle pack. They're consistently getting better. You see a guy like Jaden Daniels who has really elevated the team from a scoring perspective. The defense really understood that, hey, we got to pick up the pieces because we are a legit team right now.

Yeah, definitely. But to see Jaden Daniels, who I believe had a bruised rip. It's a week-to-week situation, very uncomfortable. You've probably had bruised. I know you have just breathing. It makes you think, is it really worth it to have life? And playing quarterback too. Yeah, throwing motion the entire thing.

But seeing Marcus go in there, having the game he did, the experience he's had, the athletic ability he still has, and just being in Eugene Oregon a couple weeks ago and seeing how much they loved that man, it's like the writing's on the wall, boys, the writing is on the wall. Marcus Marriota handles these next couple of weeks, and then Jay and Dino's coming back. Obviously, he was the second overall pick,

let him have his business. Marcus Marriota Post was coming back to Nashville, Tennessee next year. I would love to start that rumor. I would love to start that rumor. There's zero foundation to what I just said. Other than a hope and a prayer of my own self and a couple of texts. Just looking at that old photo of a good moment. Yeah, that Wolverine thing where he's just in his bed.

But dude, I think the improvement of the defense, I think Darnell Wright, sorry, Darner White plays for the Bears. He's actually, he's been playing good ball, which makes it a little more scary. But I think the improvement of the Washington defense is awesome. And knowing that Marcus played the way he did, I think he'll continue to do so. There's not a whole lot of pressure on him. Buddy, I feel really good. And too, it's not an offense that relies so heavily.

And I say this lightly because Jay Daniels is playing phenomenal. He's like in the MVP conversation. Definitely offensive rookie the year. But it's like not an offense you come into and you have to fully rely on the quarterback position because they do. do so well running the ball, creating all those different fun using the heavy personnel. They have a very athletic offensive line to where, you know, the screen game play action. Like it all plays in the favor for a quarterback like Marcus too.

So I like that. I like your ballsy pick. I love it. Good ballsy pick. I'm going Seattle. They're dogs at home right now against the bills. Right now that the bills are favored by three at Seattle flying across the country. The over under on that game is 47th.

I am taking Seattle money line in this game. I like Seattle. I think they're a good team. Look, the bill struggled against Tennessee last week in the first half. And I think where bills are kind of middle of the pack, maybe bottom half and past defense, I fact, that is what the Seattle Seahawks do very well. They're the number one pass offense in the league.

Who's going to stop Smith and Jigba? D.K. Metcalfe, he's kind of questionable right now, but the reports are saying he's going to do absolutely everything. He may be, I think I just read something. Go ahead. And he's going to be doing everything he can to get back. It's a grade one MCL spring, which is going to be, you know, he might not play this week. But again, you got Tyler Lockett, you got Noah fan, you got that run game with Kenneth Walker.

I like Gino. Again, this offense is rolling. They have a new staff in that college-minded offensive coordinator. I'm forgetting his name right now. I'm going blank on his name. But they are rolling. I do like Seattle to win, again, especially because they are dogs at home. And again, their defense has been shaky.

But when your head coach is somebody like Mike McDaniels, who's a defense. defensive wizard. I think that defense will get rolling and I like Seattle at home this weekend. Do you have a grade 1 MCL would you play? Yeah, no question. I had grade 2 PCL was back out there in nine days. Nine days? So you missed that first week? Missed the first week. We had Thursday, we had a Thursday night game. Oh, Thursday night game. Hard to pivot on a Thursday night game. I was trying. Harder to stay any injury at a Thursday night game. Yeah, you can't, yeah, it's just too quick. I was ejecting. I was doing everything possible. But, uh, grade one MCL.

Gotta get out there. Do that funky tape job and get out there. They talk about the way he is, too, the way D.K. is like, he's about that mentality. I know. Which is actually, like, not to be disrespectful to him. That is surprising to me because seeing his eating habits and how he talks about how they, like, basically, it's a bag of candy a day and a cup of coffee. I would then think to myself, well, you just are so much more gifted than everybody else.

That's at Ocho Cinco. Yeah, he had an McDonald's every day time. But John don't get the ball. You got to understand. You got to understand. You got the ball a few times. Every pass it was ever thrown to me, I caught. Yeah, I'm saying, but when you hurt and you got the ball and that people know that you're hurt, they aim at that injury constantly.

I just, you know, I hate when players do this. They come back way too early and then something bigger happens. And then it's like you missed the whole season when you could have just set out a week. One more week, let that hill come back and give the team a chance if you do go to the playoffs to play in the playoffs that are not playing at all. So, me, if you're watching this, just think about that. that. When D.K. is watching the show? He will.

He will. No question. I think everybody in the league watches the show. I think they glance at it and look at what we're saying. It'd be like, then I don't have some Polaris cap at me. Yeah. It is what it is.

It's a good, ma'am. Say it again? It's tough to play. There we go. It's having one in Seattle in 20 years. It's tough out to play out there. Yeah. You're traveling from Buffalo all the way out there?

Yeah. The 12th man, too. And the 12th man is crazy. That's crazy. 12 man is nuts, dude. That stadium is pretty unbelievable. Unbelievable.

The ground shakes. Which is so crazy that the northwest has like good stadiums. Washington, very allowed. Seattle, very allowed. Sailgate. Oregon, very loud. And Oregon had like 56,000 people. Yeah.

They do a great job with the structure. Sailgate. That's what they call their tailgate. Yeah. That's kind of dope. I mess with that. I don't know anything about Washington State, but. All right.

Well. It'll be interesting. Mine's, it's the Cardinals at the Dolphins. I know this is crazy. It's ballsy because two may come back, But I think Tua coming back off a concussion, first week back, iffy. You know, you still got that gun shy. Like, do I want to get hit?

Am I going to sit in the pocket long enough? Will I run for the first down? Those are things you got to think about. So I'm going to take the Cardinals money line. Do we know the spread on this one? It's plus three. Well, minus three. Dolphins minus three.

I'm taking the Cardinals money line. I think Murray has been phenomenal. I think he's been playing the game very well. I know a lot coming in, talking about his work ethic, not studying, playing video games. I mean, the boy is out there making his team look good, winning games, close games, but getting dubs. That's all that matters. Marvin Harrison, got to get him going.

I think last week he only had, what, three catches for like 30 yards maybe. I think this is a week that he show up, make some plays in the back end, got to get him going. Then James Connor, got to give him the ball, let him run, make plays for him. I just think Miami is a struggling team right now. They lost their quarterback, started losing games. Really ain't been finding themselves. They keep players on offense have not been making plays.

Could it be because Tua is not in? We'll see. That's going to be determined until we see what happened this week. But I'm going cardinal's money line. I just think they're going to get this dub. Can I see this? If you have the kind of concussions to her head, would you wear a guardian cap?

No. Why not? I just think it looks stupid. And you look soft as hell. Every person I see wearing that thing, I'd be like, oh, what the? I do hate that that's the answer, but that is the answer. That's why guys are. I feel bad that people sit there and go, that looks so dumb, even though it's so much safer.

So much safer. But it does look so stupid. So dumb. With a bad painted logo on the side. And is the black straps. He did he owned it. He sat there in that press conference. He's like, nope.

I'm going to play football the way I play football. Would you wear it? That's why I like Miami. No. Would you wear it? No, no, no. That's why I like Miami, though. If two is playing, absolutely.

He will play, but I'm just scared that they're going to get to him. I just hate when it's- Give me to-a, bro. Put an outer box on them. Give me two-a-older-box. Give me two-a-o-boss. You remember the outer box? Hell yeah.

Outer box doesn't make a splash play. They'll sponsor something. Get two in an outer box, man. Only reason why I ain't going, I'm not going to go against the car. Every time I go against the Cardinals, they happen to pull out. I know. They do. Yeah.

They do. But again, travel to my house. Miami? Everyone likes Miami. In the juice that they're going to get back. Long flight and then you're at that what triple deck or strip club that everyone goes to? I know. No, no. I'm never with there. No, but what's that was it? All the guys are always going It's called Tutsis. Is it called Tutsis? Yeah. All right. They got like a little mall. It's like a shopping center. Yeah, it's Tudy women just walking around. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's like multiple stories. They have like a legit restaurants in there. Yeah. Tutsis. Apparently. Hmm. Yeah. I mean, I never went when I was in Miami. I had to you know, Ivy. It was always so funny watching guys get on the plane going to Miami

because everyone's wearing their best Miami. Bass clothes. Where are you going? Linen. Linen. Yeah. It'd be hilarious. Like, suit, suit, suit, linen.

Oh, he's playing to Miami this week. The Cuban chains all of the same thing. They jeweled up. We all kind of did that, you know? Yeah. You like Miami? Are you picking on this game? I like Miami.

It's a ballsy pick. I like Miami too. I enjoy, too. standing up there taking the Bulls, everybody's question, and I'm going to come back. They're asking if he's going to wear the guardian cap. Like, hey, why you come back to this game? He says, it's a personal decision, yada, yada, yada. I like it.

I like to. Also, ultimate football guy move, because he had every single out to essentially retire and get paid his entire contract. No, he wasn't going to get his paid. Bro. There would be so much backlash by the Miami Dolphins that this guy had injuries, had to medically retire and was not paid 80% of his

contract. I mean, he probably would have got what he was guaranteed, but that was it. I don't know. There's just a lot of money essentially to do nothing. Yeah. He ain't Andrew Luck. Okay. They love him out there.

There's not too many Andrew Lux out there, okay? Yeah, but they love them out there. I love them. Yeah, I know they do. I know they do. Tula's got like the same vibe, it seems like, that Marcus had. It was just like everyone just loves the guy. Of course.

Huh? Of course he does. He wouldn't eat Samoan or Hawaiian. I'm talking about the individual, the character of the individual. Oh, I thought he's talking about. But yeah, that plays too. Yeah, they're both islanders. So, yeah, yeah.

So cool. Very nice guy. Literally, the Polly catch are like the nicest dude too. If we're actually in a blanket statement day, yes. Yeah, very nice. If we're doing stereotypes, Polynesians are the nicest people. Very nice. Yes, I'm with that.

The trophy game of the week is a spicy one. Top 25 matchup in the SEC, taking place in Nashville, Tennessee. The local team. The local dogs led by Diego Pavia and his psychotic fucking ass. Vanderbilt taking on Texas, who just lost to Georgia last week

in a brutal fashion. Oh my gosh. I'd say so myself. Couldn't push the ball on the field. Georgia really bent him over and showed him the whole 50 states. Vanderbilt, on the other hand, then boys are fucking different.

Yeah. Then boys are different. No disrespect. Gee, in Alabama, they handled Alabama in a big way. The creativity that Vanderbilt is having, knowing they're not a traditional football team where they're going to be able to pass the ball down the field in a big way, still finding ways to advance the chains, put points on the board, take control of time of possession, and winning games that nobody and their mother said before

the season they're going to win. Their total points to win this year was two and a half. Yeah, it's crazy. And now they're ranked top 25 in the nation. Five and two. Five and two. game Texas is favored by 18 and a half points. Total points is 53.

I believe personally this is an over game and I think Vandy's cover it. I want to get crazy and say Vandy Moneyline. I want to get nasty and say it. But for this show, for the sake of... Do it! Do it, pussy!

For the sake of the people's wallets, I'm going to just say cover, but I might take Vandy Money Line with my own money. I'm taking Vandy to cover for sure. Sure. I think it's a give-back spot for Texas. I thought that with Alabama.

I think it's a give-back spot for Texas, bro. Like, yes, they had their issues last week. I thought the whole quarterback switch up bringing Uers back out. Like, I thought that was very weird. That was messy. Yeah, but like they say, everything is bigger in Texas. And when they take that belt off and Vandy looks who's sliding up behind them, they're not going to like what they see.

They're not going to like what they feel. I like Texas minus 18 and a half against the local boys. I do. Shout out Vandy. They've had a hell of a year. You're saying it stops now? No. Not that it stops.

I just think they didn't beat, they didn't like beat up on Ball State. And obviously like they beat Alabama, but that was like down to the wire. In Alabama, you just don't know what kind of team that they have this year. I'm not saying that they're bad, but they've had their ups and downs, obviously. But I just like, I like a get back spot right here for Texas. I just feel like Vanderbill is the type of team that plays to that other team's level. That's what it is. So I feel like they're going to play a lot better.

against Texas. I just see that happening. Look at the teams that they've been. Pavia's ready. I love fucking Pavia. He's getting pulled over downtown Broadway like the dude is a psychopath. He's a wrestler that is able to play quarterback. And Vanderbilt, Ball State might have been a trap game for them. Yeah, it might be in the category of the top 25 football team. Yeah. That could have been a track game. No doubt. No doubt. You're right. You're right. I would, I would enjoy smiling and seeing Vanderbilt win this game. I just, if I'm putting my money on this, I'm going to say it to a Texas spot here. Texas cover.

Yeah, Texas to cover. Yeah. I just got Texas Money Line. I hope you're wrong. I do. I know. It's the most logical choice, but. Oval wrong too,

because you just, you love the story of Vanderbilt this year. You fucking, you fall in love with something like this. So what's you going, money line or are you taking Vandy to cover? I'll take Vanity to cover on the show. Yeah, okay.

I will report back later via social. What's the money line? Yeah, I'll report back on social medias. Plus 700. Plus 700 money. Gosh. I put a thousand on that thing. See what I mean?

Oh, don't that be fucking. That would be crazy. Should we just die? I'm going to do that. Vandy MoneyLine. That's just the, yeah,

the optimist in me, I'm just like, yo, plus 700. That's crazy. A thousand bucks. And you falling in love with Pavia. You should, bro.

You took them. I would not say I'm in love with Pavia. Personally, I'm afraid of him. But why not? Week one you went Money Line and won that game. True, but that was Virginia Tech. That was Virginia Tech.

The boys have made you believe you doubted them. And obviously if they win the SEC, you're going to have to take them all to Vegas. That's the biggest worry. That's my biggest worry right now. You said that? Yes, dude. They were told they were going to have, like, Vegas said two and a half wins is what you can bet on this year for their total wins this season. Yeah.

Yeah. And they're like, we hooked them up with product. We were there. You go tickets to Vegas. Take us to Zed in a tunnel chaos. And I was like, no. And they're like, what if we win the SEC? I laughed in their faces.

And I was like, okay, yeah, all right. You win the SEC, I'll take you to Vegas. If they do, I'm coming. But this entire- On your own dime, I'm not paying for you too. No, I'm not paying for you too. You made money. These young bucks out of here, huh?

They might be, they might be fueled by Vegas. They might be fueled by a tunnel of chaos. They might. And that opportunity. We got to get Pavi on the bus. Got to. They win this week. We're getting Pavi on Monday.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have to. Have to. I will wait to the season. Don't fuck his streak up. Hey, honestly, if they beat Texas, I'm going to try to fuck their streak up. I'm going to take it in the Vegas. I don't want, dude, those kids are going to go crazy.

Yeah. They're going to drink everything. They're going to go to death. It's going to be a movie. It's going to be a goddamn movie. They're going to live at 2 a.m. Like, bro, I'm asleep. I'm going home.

Unless I'm in a hole. No, they can go, we go home. That's how it works. I'll be your word. I'll be your word. I'll be your word. But it's going to be your word. They win the SEC, bro.

They may give it to them for free. Come on now. You got to think about it. That's how it works. I'm the agent. I'm the agent. I will make it work. Low key, I win that Vanderbilt money line this week.

It pays for itself. It pays for itself. All right, we're back on board. I will try to fuck them up, though, if they'd be Texas. I can't. The news that'll come out of me and them together would be terrible for me. Yeah, that's crazy. Our tear talk this week.

Again, to recap tier talk, Tier 1 will be teams ranked 1 through 10, Tier 2, teams ranked 11 through 25, and Tier 3 will be any team ranked outside of the top 25. My Tier 1 this week, I'm going to Wisconsin, Penn State versus Wisconsin. Whiskey is getting frisky. They've had a great showing the last three games. They're putting up points. They're playing defense. They're running the football.

They're kind of do it in Wisconsin fashion, although it looks a little different because they're more in like a gun setting than under center and 22 personnel. But they're playing a lot better football. However, they beat Rutgers, Purdue, and Northwestern. They've obviously handled their business against them. Penn State is a completely different ball team. This is a team that stops the run, which I think they will do against Wisconsin. I think Penn State will get on them early. And then you're putting the ball in the hands of their quarterback.

Their quarterback's name is it's a Braden Locke. Braden Locke, who's not a guy you want the – he's a solid quarterback, but he's more of just an average quarterback. They're a team that wants to run the football. They want to play good defense. I don't think they're going to be able to do either against Penn State. They have a two-headed monster in Allen and Singleton, where I think I'll have a field day behind that offensive line.

Their defense, not only do they stop and run, they get after the quarterback. I think Wisconsin is going to have a hard time this weekend. I think Penn State gets out ahead of them early, and I think Wisconsin will get beat pretty badly. The line on that right now is minus seven or minus six and a half. The draft Kings is telling us, so I'm going to take Penn State. My tier two team will be...

It's right there. I know. I hate saying it. You know what I mean? Because it's Indiana. They beat her ass last week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They beat her ass last week. I ate my words. Again, I said on the bus. Indiana fans, Indiana players. A guy who's on a medical red shirt is DM and me talk about your team fucking sucks. Um. Yeah, they was ripping. What's his name? I don't know. I don't know. I just saw it. I kind of chuckled to myself. Like, I live in these kids' heads rent free. And then I laugh at myself because I'm thinking I did just get, we did just get our asses beat 56 to 7. Yeah. I'm trying to like spin in my head. I'm trying to spit in my head right now. I got them. I mean quietly. But Washington going to Indiana. I like Indiana here minus six and a half. When you look at UW, you look at the teams they beat Northwestern Michigan,

where we know Michigan now is, Rutgers, Iowa. You know what, fuck that. I don't like them. Give me Indiana. Indiana minus six and a half. That's a good play. Also, you look at the teams that they lost. Like I just rattled off Northwestern Michigan.

That was when they hosted them at home. When they traveled to Big Ten country against Rutgers, they lose 21 to 18. When they traveled to Iowa, they lost badly 40 to 16. There is a trend even though, like I want to say USC, like a couple teams didn't fit the mold, but teams traveling. I don't like Washington traveling to Indiana in Bloomington. I like Indiana what they're doing right now. I love Signetti. They do have a good football team.

And again, people are going to have question marks with their backup quarterback because their starters out. Their backup quarterback played well when he came in last week against Nebraska. I like Indiana here minus six and a half. And my tier three, Oklahoma State Baylor. And I'm not going to pick this game. I'm going to let our guys in house decide this game for me. We have an Oklahoma State fan in-house. Coop.

So we need them to come up to the fire bar, the fireball whiskey bar. Coop is going to sell me on Oklahoma State maybe. And then our Baylor fan, Sherm, who's not necessarily a fan, he's going to hopefully sell me on Baylor. Coup, go ahead. Talk to me about this game, Oklahoma State Baylor. Why Oklahoma State's going to win? Maybe, I mean, unless you don't feel good about it.

What is, what is, do you have the, the odds up? Baylor's playing seven. Baylor's favored by seven at home. By seven. And the over under on that game is 65. Yeah, I would take Oklahoma State for a few reasons. I might have been the only one in the country watching last, last week, but they got on track a little bit with Ollie Gordon. He started run the ball again.

People forgot about him. He started running again last week. Also, Baylor has a huge, it's a big look-ahead spot for them because they have a rival next week. Do you put TC next week? TCU. The revivalry. The revivalry. That's all I got.

All right. So Oklahoma State, you feel confident. You're going to tell the people, hey, Oklahoma State plus seven, this is a lot. Definitely plus seven is a log. Ed Baylor. Thank you, Kube. Thank you, Kooke. Kooke.

You can stay up there, though, with him. Big Slug. Here's his comment. Talk to us, big slug. That sucks, dude. Waco, Texas. Homecoming. They're wearing the Sailor Bear logo on the helmets.

Can anybody tell me who did the Baylor Bears play at Homecoming for the very first time that they premiered the Sailor Bear helmets? USC. That was a really good guess. It's Oklahoma State. Gotcha. Can anybody tell me how that game ended? And who the head coach was. Matt Rule.

Matt Rule. Charlie Brewer, game-winning touchdown, three seconds left to Denzel Mims. This year, homecoming, Sailor Bear Helmets, Oklahoma State coming to town. Sawyer Robertson, five touchdowns last week, against Tech. Give me Oklahoma State. We don't have a chance. Baylor, I love you so much, but I'm reverse cursing you because this is the game where Mike Gundy, as soon as the hot seat even gets brought up, even remotely.

That's when Gundy flips the script. He gets a guy like Alan Bowman. His quarterback, he's been playing super inconsistent. This is a week where he takes a ball out of Bowman's hands, puts it into Ollie Gordon's hands. I'm talking like three tutties by Ollie Gordon. I think Oklahoma State wins. I think they win big.

I would take a money line. Okay, all right. Oklahoma State. We're writing Oklahoma State. Thank you, boys. Thank you, boys. boys or college experts. Good job.

Sherm is a shit fan, bro. Sorry, no, I know. It's for the people. I want to win money. I know. Yeah, I'll go so you can go last. Sort of Robinson did, though, for five touches against Texas Tech. Yeah. I'll go next so you can go last.

Like, I can. Yeah, just a recap. Penn State, minus six and a half. Indiana minus six and a half. And then Oklahoma State plus seven. Ooh. Yeah. And I apologize for botching the Washington winning

against Rutgers and Iowa at first. So my tier one, going to be Florida State versus Miami. Oh, that spread is crazy. It's minus 21, but Florida State. I know I did an interview with you guys. Sorry about this. They're terrible. Terrible team.

I'm going to say they're what? One and six. Talk to him, Delaney. One and six. You see the chatter out there. Delaney don't know college ball. They're one and six. Miami's seven and oh.

This is just. Cam Ward has been going nuts. I mean, the dude is out there making plays left and right. They're going to have to depend on their defense. Not really because they're playing Florida State. But the end of the day, going Florida State on this one. And what I say this one was again? That was your tier one.

Yeah, my tier one, minus 21. Favor. That scares me. But I just feel like Cam Ward is going to put up a lot of points with the guys he got out there on the outside, the running back. And then the defense that they have led by Jacoby George. I think they're going to be exciting on defense as well to stop the ball. My second tier two, Kansas versus Kansas State.

Again, Kansas is two and five. Kansas State is six and one. You got Avery Johnson leading those boys. He's been playing pretty well. I love Avery Johnson. Love him. Do you? No, I do.

I love coach climbing. I like Kansas State. You like Kansas State. Yeah, I think Kansas State going to be great. You got DJ Gittings, I want to say. Is that the running back name? Yeah. Gonna be out there doing this thing, running the ball.

So I'm taking Kansas State to get covered this one, minus 10. Yeah, it's minus 10 this game. My tier three will be Cincinnati versus Colorado. Colorado, listen to me. I need y'all boys to get this one done. We talk big on you guys. I love what y'all doing with Dion, the boys out there. Got all the celebrities at the game.

Travis Hunter. Travis Hunter, Heisman candidate. Let's go out here. Get this dub against Cincinnati so we can get your boys back on track. Cincinnati just blistered ASU. I know they did. That's why I need. Scadaboo did find himself in the end.

That's why Delaney's talking the way is I need y'all, man. I need y'all. Handle your business. Handle your business, man. Y'all know I'm going to be watching. Let's go, Colorado. Tier three, that's it. Fantastic.

What was your, Cam Ward, by the way, if you watch him throw piss missiles? Bonds. Guys got 20 seconds in the pocket if he wants it. His office the line is playing phenomenal. The rush can't get to him. At all. When the rush does get to him, he's elusive enough to get away, throws a very tight, strong spiral.

I just hate, like, I'm staying away from the game, but I just hate that this game used to mean something. It did back in the day. The battle of Florida. I know. Not anymore. I know. It really doesn't.

This year. It's nice to see that Miami's good again, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, 70 and oh, I mean, you can't go wrong with that. Yeah. My tier, my tier one this week, we were here a couple of, weeks ago, it's Oregon minus 21 and a half versus Illinois. Oregon is a damn good ball club. Press conference, Dan Lannings sits there. They're like, hey, what does it mean to you?

And the school, the fact that you guys are, you know, number one in the country. And he just says, it doesn't mean anything. It means nothing. And smiles and smirks. Because it truly, at this point in the season, being number one doesn't mean anything. I love the culture. I love the pregame speeches. I love the atmosphere of Eugene. Love the trees in Eugene. Love the trees. Love the folio. Great trees. And I had the displeasure of watching Illinois take on Michigan last week while we were at in Knoxville for the Tennessee Alabama game for whatever reason had service.

I said this on the bus. Michigan lost that game more than Illinois won it. Michigan, it was a turnover fest. It was watching Nebraska Corn House scores a couple of years ago. Just like getting in your own way over and over again. The quarterback running open. D-tackle finds him, hammers it out. That gets called back.

Pick. Then the two plays later, just really bad football being played by the Wolverines. Illinois's quarterback, he's elusive enough. He can throw the ball well enough to make this game a little bit of fun. But I think when it's all sudden done, the Oregon Ducks and their quarterback, who we just found out in this show, is number three in the Heisman candidate, boys, they got a lot to prove.

And they seem like the team to be in the college football landscape. And I'm taking Eugene. So that's my tier one. my tier two Alabama versus Missouri and I'm taking Missouri plus 13 and a half and the reason why I'm taking them

is the way Garrett is telling me Alabama Twitter is right now it seems like all of Tuscaloosa has completely given up on post Nick Saban era they are they are completely over it which is wild

you know it was it was a sloppy game last week in Knoxville There were panties flying all over the place. The first half really wasn't that much fun to watch. It was great to see all that talent on the field, but really it was just sloppy ballgame back and forth. Jack told me that that's very normal for these two teams when they're on the field together.

There's a lot of laundry on the field. Alabama just found themselves in a skid after Georgia and have just not been able to recover it. They squeaked one by South Carolina. I'm sorry. They lose the Van der Belts. Squeak one by against South Carolina. They lose to Tennessee.

it just, it feels like the pressure is weighing in Tuscaloosa, and it's just, they're not going to be able to cover this game. They might lose. They might lose. But I think Alabama pulls it away, but within 13 and a half points. My tier three was going to be Baylor in Oklahoma State before I didn't read my text messages and did a bad job. That's all right.

That's all right. That's okay. So my tier three is a shit football game. No. It's a shit football game. No. Oh, battle for Michigan. It's a battle for Michigan.

State champs. Michigan right now is favored minus five and a half. Is that a big line for both these teams? Yes. Is Michigan State a good ball club? Absolutely not. Michigan's playing football with passing turned off. They win the settings and they just said, hey, we're going to turn off passing.

We're not going to do that. We're just going to run the ball. This game, I believe it's 40 points, by the way, under all the way on this game. Under all of the way. This might be a 12 to 9 game only field goals. That's what we're going to talk about. Michigan State scores some points against Iowa now. I hate the fact that I'm sitting here in the middle of October

and trying to find reasons why Michigan is going to beat Michigan State. I've talked so nasty about Michigan State. I hate Michigan State. I think it's a dirty school. It's an ugly school. It's a dumb school. It's where the dumb kids go that can't get into Michigan. I think I went one and three.

I got punched in the face by William Goldston. Didn't like that. And I've held that. I'm 33 now. it's been over 12 years still holding that pain. All that being said, I think of Michigan minus five and a half. And I'm praying. I got a little Twitter war or an Instagram war with some Michigan State fan on Instagram.

Can't remember his name right now. He's got five photos on his profile, one of them which holding two cats. And I argued with him. And if Michigan loses, I have made the deal with him. I will wear a Michigan State jersey on the bus. I think that's a no-brainer. Hey, that's what? It probably not even in that person.

Yeah, no, if that happens. You arguing with a cat that's probably like 40 years old living in the basement? No, he's in his 20s. It's probably not him. It's probably his nephew. I literally, I was, he came at me about Michigan. I just screenshoted that photo of him holding the cats and sent it to him, be like, what are we doing here?

And he's like, those cats didn't have homes. And I said, I wasn't talking about the cats. And I just zoomed it on his face. And we were being real nasty to each other, kind of found a friendship halfway through. but I'm going to be heartbroken if I have to bend the need to this cat who his name I don't remember right now. You don't feel very confident talking about Michigan. Brother, there's not a whole lot to be excited about right now.

I know. I just love the, I love the tear low one at the podium being like Michigan State. At the end of the day. I'm going to say it, but Michigan State. At the end of the day. At the end of the day. At the end of the day. At the end of the day, dude.

I'm, the defense is solid. Can't stand how much we blitz. Our ball security has been bad. we're not pushing the ball down the field Donovan Edwards I feel bad for him I feel like he's at the yips right now he fumbles in the game against Illinois it's just it's getting more and more difficult

and I just know in my heart if we had and I've said this on the bus if we had a if we had a quarterback that we could push the ball down the field we're looking at a fourth base 10 championship that's how much talent we have that's how much talent we have on that football team that's what I'm saying sure I'm Moore is the man for the job I'm just I'm getting I'm getting nervous

I'm getting nervous for the slanting, all right? I'm getting nervous. So move on. If Michigan State gets this one, this is a... My life might be over. Sad boy season for the rest of the year. I might not come back to work. You have to with the Michigan State jersey on.

Yeah, I'll walk in and walk out. Yeah. So yeah, that's my tear talk. All right, lovely. Let's get into our ballsy picks. Our ballsy picks. So many things make football great, but you know what the best thing is.

Could we put a timeout on the ballsy picks? What are you need? My ballsy pick was Van der Bell. Hmm? Put on the sheet here. Vanderbilt Money Line. Ride with them. You're going to double down on Vennerville. Yeah, you're going to double down. You just did. You doubled down on them.

It's your ballsy pick. Right. I was thinking about the show. I was just thinking about the show. Maybe I should switch my ballsie pick, but... It's an incredible ballsy pick. It's an incredible ballsy pick. And there's no better feeling than as an athlete or a fan where you get to beat the shit out of your rival.

Your rival being Michigan State this week. Fireball whiskey is here to give you the spark to a night that rivalry all season wrong. The revivory is happening. Another reason to spark it up. Grab your football buddy buy around and reignite that rivalry flame. We know Taylor's ballsy pick. Balsey pick Vanderbilt money line plus 700. I will put $1,000 on that game. I will outdo you. Plus 1,300 Nebraska money line at Ohio State. What's the, what is the 25 and a half points right now is what is what they're saying. We're underdog is about 25 and a half points.

They're not that good. In my opinion, that is not that good. In my opinion, having, obviously taking the points, that's a lock. Your boy's going to get ballsy because I am not somebody who's just like, I believe, man. I believe we got our ass whooped. I also believe we still have a good ball club.

Do I love the way Satterfield held that press conference and talked about we need, you know, four to six average per play? No, I don't love it. He seems like a hell of a drinking buddy, though. If we just block the perimeter and we take care of us, man. We can win this game and shock the world in Columbus. I have no doubt that we can do this. I swear to God, I will be laughing and I will know it when I see it.

If we pull this out in Columbus, is it a long shot? Absolutely. No doubt. Plus 25 and a half is a lock. I'm getting ballsy. We're going plus 1,300 moneyline Nebraska, because I think we are set up right where we need a fucking be. Right where you've got to be.

We've been on the road a couple of times. We struggled on the road against Purdue. Or record? One of those. One of those. We struggled on the road. I think you did well against Purdue. Do what?

You did well against Purdue. Yeah, but we struggled until the fourth quarter. We struggled on the road until the fourth quarter. We clearly struggled on the road in Bloomington. But again, that score is not as bad as what the film shows. I think we are set up perfectly to set the fucking traps this weekend at Ohio State in Columbus. They're coming off a biweek. They're probably licking their chops and they're going to run us out of the city.

But they're not. I love Nebraska. I love where we're at. I love we fucking need it. Nothing would make me happier. then Ohio State losing to Oregon, having a by week to lick their wounds and then losing it in Nebraska.

That would fire me up. I'm going to take that bet, too. Let's go shock the world. Let's shock the world. Let's go shock the world. Not going to touch it. Ooh. What's that?

What is that far line? Yeah, we're riding. Let's get in the fucking trenches. Although I did take Texas. But for that money line, for just getting in that box hole, I'll get in that foxhole. I'll climb in that.

Let's go, Coach Rule. Let's fucking go, Coach Rule. Let's go to the bank. Let's go, Dylan. I got a deposit. You left Ohio State for a reason. Let's fucking go, Dylan. Make that bet, please, because that's cash.

Cash money. We're gonna win. Yeah, that's my shit. Shock the world twice. Cash money. Make it. What's your bossy pick, bro? My bossy pick is gonna be LSU at Texas A&M.

I'm going LSU. Taking LSU, that and that's plus two and a half. And the reason why I'm taking LSU, because if they win this game, game, they become first place in the SEC. So LSU's made it interesting. They have. But so is A&M.

Since they're lost to Notre Dame, that they've been playing well. Especially after both of them, week one. Week one. USC and the Notre Dame for A&M. Like, those teams have really figured it out in a big way. So this is going to be a game I will watch. Definitely watching this one. I think LSU pulls it out.

Again, they both six and one. It's going to be a tough one. That's why it makes it really ballsy. I like LSU. There you go. I also like any of them. I like both teams, but I think LSU got something to play for. They both do.

They both do, but LSU, if they win and they pull this game out, they're number one in the SEC. Some of the Tigers too. Yeah. Something about Batoners, Louisiana. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something about that gritty culture. Cajuns walking around.

You can't understand what they're saying, but you love the vibe. The Boudon balls. Yeah, Boudan balls, yes. Yeah, yeah. That creole. That's what I should have said this one was a Boudon. Oh, damn. Fuck that.

Fuck that one up. That crawfish etou fay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That rue. And seeing the, you know, a fan base like that, like, seeing those yell leaders, like, spark something in them to make them get a little more Baton Rouge, a little more dirty deep sound. What are they doing?

What are those men doing right there? And boys gay. Hey, man, can we stop saying it? I'm saying all right. You say it when we're off. I've never said it. I've never said that. You don't when the cameras are up.

You say gay at a time. He's gay. Delane. Don't want to lose those fans. Don't want to lose those fans. Yeah. No, no, we don't want to lose those fans. We love those fans. We love them. Yeah, yeah. We're not against the gays at all.

No. No, okay. Fan calling. Fan calling this week is by Dylan Shelton. Let's run the clip. Let's go, Dylan. What's up, boys? Pre-Shelton here hitting y'all with some slightly above average data.

I got to make this quick. I got some sorority chicks in confession talking about what they did at a frat party this last weekend, so let's get straight into it. You guessed it. First game we're going into top 15 matchup, A&M versus LSU. These tigers were a bunch of frauds. Last time they came to Cal Field, they were ranked fifth, we were unranked, we dragged them through the mud. So we're going to go ahead and take the A&M spread minus two and a half. If you want to get your spooky watch out of the way, go ahead and tune in at 630 and watch the murder of the tigers. Next, we're going to go to the NFL. You got the Eagles traveling to Sincey. Joey B, the hair's growing

He's starting to look more like a football player, less like a backup dancer for NSYNC. So we're going to go ahead and take the Bengals money line. Next, we're going back to college football. You got a pissed off Texas team coming off a loss against Georgia, and you got the boys up in Nashville at Vandy. They're going up in a top 25 matchup. Going to be high scoring. Texas is going to be flying.

Vandy's going to be flying. So we're taking the over on there at 53 and a half. That's your log for the week. Go ahead. Get paid. Get laid. Dylan. Dylan. Dylan. Dylan. Dylan. Dylan. Dylan. Dylan. Dylan. Oh, I'm not taking that. I love it. I can't do it. I love it. Preast. Everything he said. The presentation? Everything was great. Everything was great. I like Eagles over Bengals. And, uh...

Yeah, it goes against everything. You know how it is. See, I like both A&M and LSU. So I want to get in the hole. I want to get in the hole with Dylan. Yeah, no, definitely. I want to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be. I'm a lot of I want to do a confessional next week. No, definitely. Everything he said was great. I love his presentation. If I didn't bet, I got opposite bets. I just can't go against that.

That's just like me telling people to spend bad money, with bad units. You feel what I'm saying? I feel you. Dylan Shelton, Texas A&M minus two and a half. Bengals money line in the over 53 and a half in the Texas Vanderville game. Those odds plus 559.

Plus 559. That's awesome. Somebody else on the call of fame. Let's get somebody else on the call. Let's go. Come on, Dylan. I'm rocking with you, Dylan. Let's go, Dylan.
