I will take the bucks catching three and a half in Seattle. Can we click refresh on that? Do I do it? I should have done more total. Do I do it? Do I do it? Steve, should I do it? You won't.

You won't do it. I'm going to do it. Can we start over? New Orleans Saints at home. Winning the football game. All right, Steve's joining us from a pool. It's actually not a first. I think we once had Kenny Maine was by his pool.

Mm-hmm. So Steve and Kenny Maine, Hall of Fame, back here. That was Kenny's pool, though. I'm at a hotel because I can't get in my hotel room yet. Oh, that whole like the room's not ready thing, even though it's 3.22 p.m. Yeah, we had a lot of conferences. How long did it take to clean those things up? The game is Saturday.

We got to get going here. I know, I know. You're in T-town. You're in T-town. Capstone, yeah. Okay. Shout out Capstone. Get the Capstone going. A couple people called him sick, you know.

How about Galettes? You're going to Galettes tonight, see my people? We'll see Purdy. Oh, you got to tell Purdy as it was up. Who's Purdy? The quarterback? No, the most important Purdy. No offense to Brock Purdy.

Purdy is the man that makes things happen at Galettes. He would choke you out in three seconds. I don't understand the need to choke anybody out. You know, you all may have heard the story that I can't make a fist with my right hand because of an athletic injury back in my early 20s. And I once pulled up. I'm 39. Still tell them the same story. Yeah.

Do you have insurance? And I told me, I went to so much physical therapy. These are my pointers. These are my hooks. These are my pointers. These are my hooks. At any rate, I once told a friend, I said, I can't make a fish. She said, why would you ever want to?

Well, at Gilech, you definitely wouldn't want to because I think you'd be getting your ass kicked a little bit. I know that Thursday night where Steve just happens to find himself at a college bar with TVs and booze and co-eds. It's awesome. Every single male in the joint has action on the NFL game. Every single one. What times the game Saturday night? Who? He's got the edge.

He's got the edge. Guys got the edge. 2.30. Oh, fuck. I got a 2 o'clock flag football game. Yeah, you're not going to make it. Speaking of college football games. They still play that?

I'm here for the apology, Chris, and how you are back in love with college football. I am? I saw your smile on the field Friday night. I saw. the text you were sending about how fired up you were to rush the field. You are back. You are 100.

I could look at the smile. Look at it. I'm laughing because it seems, it would seem that you have me dead to rights. But I'm not going to watch any college football outside of like Virginia occasionally. I'm going to kick off America's team with the University of Virginia. 46, 38 double overtime winners over FSU. Now the number 24 ranked team in all the land.

Chandler Morris, Jamari Taylor, Trell Harris, learn their names, seven point dogs at Louisville this week, also receiving votes. But Charlottesville is back, Steve. Well said. My favorite part was asking, not asking, trying to convince Chris to rush the field. on Saturday night, Friday night, and he kept saying no, no, no, no. And then I walked down to the front of the FSU section by my lonesome. Yeah.

And then got a call. Were you yelling? Were you yelling? Were you giving people at some time? Good question. No. I was not giving anybody a hard time because of what we had just seen. We were in Watt that could have scored again.

We had several. We really didn't say a word. We were down there. First off, the reason I turned it down initially was just to like stall from it and act like I didn't want to go rush the field because I was up there with like my wife and my kids. They're like, no, I don't want to rush the field. Come on.

And I wanted him to like twist my arm and be like, come on, Meg, let him go rush the field. And he just beeline for the field. So I'm sitting up there negotiating. And, you know, and then it turned into, hey, well, are you going to bring the boys down? I'm like, I will lose them in a sea of people. Like, you know what I mean? It was chaos. So I ran down.

I met Macon. We're in the Florida State section. and we're down at the bottom, and we're being very conscientious of where we are. We're staying low in the whole thing. And at one point, I hear this lady behind us go, hey, you fuckers! And I'm like, she's talking to somebody else.

And I look over my shoulder, and she's like pointing at making and looking at me, and she's like, you fucks. You fucks aren't supposed to be here. Sit the fuck down. You know, like in... A couple of navy shirts in a sea of garnet and gold. Well, I think we were in the first.

family section. She was wearing a pin with a jersey number on it, yeah. What number was it? Speard of my head, 22. I did my best not to interact with her because we were being very respectful. I can understand her predicament of seeing her

eighth ranked undefeated club lose on the road. And, and I was busy trying to get the attention of the event staff folks. On third down, before they had the stadium-induced fall start, I made eyes with the guy. I was like, hey, man, I'm wearing blue here.

I gave him a little salute. He looks at me and he's like, yeah, I got you. I didn't know it worked that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was afraid of like authority. Because there are only two of us. They literally could have stopped us. I mean, for a little while.

Yeah, yeah. Because there are two of them. But they really just let you go through. I had never done it before. You know, while you were busy. Yeah, because you're always sitting in the upper deck. well no i've just we've the only other time that i've ever been there that we've beaten somebody good like we found them yeah and her yep kick her she kept calling us fucks now i didn't say anything

bad back to her we weren't even cheering dude we were just being like we were like we were like mice you know and and uh and at one point um you know right when it happened and everybody was rushing the field i had to look back and say have a nice flight like i just had to. You know what I mean? I had to. She called me a fuck. You know, I was pretty polite about it. I didn't cuss it or anything. And in the process of that happening, I lost making. I had said to him five times, we just got to go. We got a go. I was like, I got you, buddy. And then I turn around, I go, have a nice flight. I turn around and I'm all alone in the floor. A little scat back got out of there. He did, a little scat back. He's got quite the gate.

Yeah. You actually ended up in somebody's story. Yeah, yeah. Cowboy has it. Camorne Johnson? Yeah. UVA women's... UVA basketball star at Virginia.

Unbeknownst to her, there was another star in the frame. My quads, these are your quads on the top. Yeah, my quads still hurt from getting out there so quickly. No shit. You're sore from rushing the field. I was at the 50 and six seconds. Probably consider a little exercise. I was in the middle of it.

it, Steve. I was in the middle of it. Gotcha. And then everybody, everyone sending me the picture that Chris took this week being like, oh, busted, like, oh. And I'm like, what are you all talking about? As if I'm like inebriated or

something, it's not the most flattering picture. You were a little fucked up. And I was just like, hey. Not as messed up as the Notre Dame. Okay, relax, fellas. That's just the orange and blue coursing through my veins. Not the domestic lights, all right? That's the

orange and blue. I have pictures from Minneapolis where I look five times worse. We'll go to the next America's team. Yep. I'll go AFC North quarterbacks. Look at them. Baltimore is finally going to start a white guy.

Super rush. Yeah. Age discrepancy. You've got Cleveland sending a rookie Browning. You've got Gabriel and you've got Aaron Rogers. Wow. I mean, what a group that is. dude. I'm starting to

if you had told me that that would be the line of put quarterbacks I might have taken at some point in the season I might have taken the Steelers to win the damn division but that's a 100. Are they plus 200? They were. I move lines. Yeah, but could you

imagine if the Bengals gave a fuck about football? You know what I'm saying? Like they'd make a move for somebody or like maybe look like they're trying out there. Seriously. The way the tackle are playing, Chris. I don't care who's back there. Well, they did just play the Denver Broncos.

God's team. They have two of the best edges on the planet. Vikings. Say again? And the Vikings. Yeah, and the Vikings. That's the one reason. We're going to get into locks in a second. I think the Bengals are dead, bro, unless they show us some sign of light.

You know what I mean? But they have just played two of the most ferocious, confusing. the batting donut off this week. But it's still Detroit. Yeah. Who might have the best defense of all time. True. Tarlton State is 5 and 0 ranked

in the FCS poll. They scored over 50 points three times. They beat Army already this year. Shout out Tarleton State. Nice call, Steve. Where is that? Texas. Okay.

Texas. All right. I'm going to shout out a team disrespected. Another team disrespected by Steve. Steve did not rank Virginia in his top 15. I did not. Kept Florida State at 9, but didn't

rank Virginia. How the fuck do you figure, Steve? You know? I'm going to shout out another team. Good loss. I'll give you a good loss. Listen up. The number four ranked Ole Miss Rebels, quarterbacked by Trinidad Chamblis. Lane is fun online, huh?

He might be just the most chill, fun guy on the internet. Yeah. Everything rolls off his back. You say fun or funny? Fun, not funny, fun. He's corny. He's like a dad. He is a dad.

Give me some of his best material. He's just, he's just like, you know, the worst of Twitter, you know? Yeah. Everybody all being jerks. Yeah. He's just the opposite of that. Yeah. And Ole Miss has good uni.

and they're winning football games, and I want to get this in before they go to Georgia and to Oklahoma. Is Lane Kiffin, like, entrenched down there? Do you think that's going to be his longtime spot? What was the story about the Auburn job, Steve? His family was like, please no. Yeah.

Yeah. Is that because of quality of life? Just like we move every three years. Yeah, got you. I think they were both students at. His daughter had just moved down to, down to Old Miss with him. And it was a year into his coaching at Old Miss.

She was like, she made a video with her friends being like, yo, we just, I'm making all these friends here. I don't want to go somewhere else. According to that article that was written the other day, the ESPN article, yes, it would be his forever spot. As long as that's what they said. You just got to say according to sources.

Just say according to sources. And then you could be an Oxford insider. I think that was really good. I think that was really good. Are you up? Because you lead off. I only got one more. I literally just said Ole Miss.

Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. I couldn't remember who got us there. It felt like minor league sports, and I thought that was Steve's bit. Yeah. So, so, it's what a college football do is more it. You said we were a good loss, and you kept this out of the top 15. Prep yourself for incarnate word. Yeah, yeah.

Okay, so here's what I got. Go win at Louisville. People who are, and we probably don't, which is what. Big dogs. Yeah. So people who, what do they got going on that were seven point dogs? They're unbeaten.

Miller Moss. They got a great ball boy. Yeah. Oh, that guy, yeah. Wrestlinging the fucking, that's a ball man, dude. He was wrestling the ball away from those pick guys. Pick guys are tough.

Yeah. Don't take any shit from a pick guy. Well, and they got a ranked team coming in, you know? Yeah, they do. A little chip on their shoulder. All right. So America's team, people who are against the PFF grading system,

I've always long been against the grading system. I think PFF has a lot of really good metrics. I think there's some good resources that they use and that sort of and provide. But we fall back on these grades way too much. And I thought Steve Spagnolo had a great quote this week. He's like, I don't think that's fair to the players. You know, like I don't think those grades are fair because you don't know. And he's the perfect messenger because I,

I played in his defense and there's a million things that you have to think about on a consistent basis and your job varies from play to play even as a defensive lineman. It is really hard to grade a guy out. For instance, playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, he's the perfect messenger. I can't fucking stand it when I'm watching Monday Night Football and they tell me that like, I don't know, take your pick. Quignan Mitchell's ring 34 is the 34th best corner. And I think Chris Collinsworth is great on the game. I actually do. I think he's I think he's a, I think he's, I really do. I think he's really good. And he's not, he wasn't my cup of tea, maybe in the beginning

when I started watching football post-playing. But I think he's one of the best. I just, that's, that is attached to him for me, because it's a little bit irresponsible to, to kind of, to take advantage of an uneducated population like that when all the guys are on, on football on Sunday night and slander guys. it's a, we should do a conference on this. Like there's so many sides and angles because, like, to your point, the people that don't know what it is, the people that are making the grades,

the people that have been in the room and know what the assignments are, the guy that's lined up next to the guy who's getting the grade that knows what the assignment is and he has a different perspective than the guy that's getting the grade. It's really real. I was going to talk about Spags later, but it was really evident that he was just like, hey, enough's enough.

You don't know what the assignment is. And mentioning Lane Kiffin, I was thinking if somebody did give out player grades, the first coach to do it publicly, it would be Lane Kippen. Yeah. I don't know what that's supposed to mean. I think it's a good take.

It's a good take. You, Spags, Steve, everybody. All round. Who's up next? I think it's Steve. Shout out to the Columbia Lions. Getting their first win, big win over Georgetown this year.

They improve to one-in-one Roar, Lions, Roar. I'm going to shout out the Syracuse Orange. Now, not for punking Clemson and then getting punked by Duke. This is a somber shout-out, and Steve will back me up. Lawrence Moten died. And Lawrence Moten was like. the first non-wahoo that I fell in love with. Hooper,

early 90s, mid-90s, knee-high socks, war 21. High-high socks. Yeah, DC Kid, Syracuse's all-time leading score, and that sucked to see that he has passed away. But that dude was awesome. That dude was

a bucket. He was the first guy going to Yukon games growing up. He was the first guy that did this. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like, give me all this. Yeah. Keep giving it to me. Yeah.

Yeah, man. That was a tough one. Tough one. Seeing that one. What an awesome player. Nice job, making. Hard to follow that up. Sorry.

Sorry. Do you have any more, Steve? Or should we get to the... You good? Yeah, we got picks recap. We got that coming? Oh, yeah, we did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But give us like one or two plays this weekend. Saturday. Oh, Saturday. I am really intrigued by the Washington Huskies coming to face the undefeated Maryland Terrapins. Everyone's going to throw the travel around. The numbers are out there. If you're not named Penn State, or no, if you're not named Michigan, Ohio State or Oregon, the odds are against you when you cross the Rockies in the Big Ten.

But as impressive as Ohio State was last week going to Seattle and West. winning. I still think Washington's a very good football team and I have my eyes on them laying points on the road against Maryland and the over in the Virginia Louisville game. Okay.

bet mgm original bets and so much more bet mgm make it legendary is it time we let's give Steve is flowers here before we get into the locks. We had two three one and ones last week. Our first pushes of 2025, Makin and Steve both went three one and one. Did he really? Yep. The Bears Raiders game, that last second field goal. He bit you.

We went against each other. He bit you. If he makes the kick, I go four and one. Yeah. So season standings, Chris is still in the lead, 11 and 9. and then Macon and Steve right behind at 10, 9 and 1. Steve, you are first, Macon, and then Chris. I'm not sure who to pick.

Patriots plus eight. Boom. Okie-doke. I'm going to go against Dylan Gabriel, and I'm going to take the Minnesota Vikings laying three and a half in the United Kingdom this weekend. All right. Because, hey, remember, the Vikings are good.

They've been there for two weeks, right? That's right. One thing to consider last year, if you'll remember, the Jacksonville Jaguars played twice in the UK. And it was the first team ever to do the consecutive thing. Now the Vikings being the second. And in the first game, they got worked. In the second game, they beat up on the pads.

I think their circadian rhythm caught up. You got that. Maybe you're on the right side here. Thank you. I'll take Browns plus three and a half. Just kidding. I will take, however, I will take the bucks catching three and a half in Seattle.

Short week relative to Seattle's mini buy. You take that mini buy and shove it up your ass. The bucks are going to cover. Okay, no bucky. No money. I know. Well, that's why we have five running backs. Yeah.

I said weak. Godwin's back. Beat him. Godwin's back. We'll get into it during the preview. Cotton's got to get some touches too. Come on. I think, obviously, I'm on the Seattle hype train, too.

This is two of my favorite teams in the league, but I think it's too many points. Okay. Too many points, three and a half. Okay. Pick to you, Chris. Oh, it's me? Ooh.

I will take the other side of Vikings and Browns. Are you serious? Yeah, oh, fuck yeah. I'm serious as a hard time. You went with the... I get to do that. You went with the Just Kidding followed by a serious? Yeah.

Holy shit. I just, I forgot that I had two turns. Yeah. Okay. All right. Just fired on what was in front of you. Locked in. I want to take the under,

but you know with the like the turnover prone young quarterback and the Carson Wentz. Yeah. I want to take the under as well. Yeah. I have one, two, three, four, five totals marked all all to the under. Okay. I, what's it called when I get tricked? I get tricked dick, right?

I get tricked dick by a line and a matchup. I'll take the Houston Texans. Fuck! Minus two points in Baltimore. I like that reaction. Don't like Steve. Although Steve is tied for the last place in this little exercise. You bitch you?

You fuck you, Steve. Go ahead. Take the other side. Give me the Ravens and add my half point and I'll take three. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Two and a half. You get up to two and a half there, pal. That kills me.

It's not two and a half already? No, sir. The cowboy sends out the lines every single week. Can we click refresh on that? That line is two and a half. Buddy. Which line? These lines are brought to you by Bet MGM.

Ten minutes to four on a Thursday. He just looked it up, got proven wrong. You're still up, my friend. Okay. You got to do it every week until it doesn't come in. Over in the Cowboys and whoever they're playing. You bitch you. Guys, I watched the Dretts charge.

I watched the New York Jets try to score points the other night. This is a bad week. It was pretty ugly. This is going to be a bad week. You mean us three? Are we struggling here? Because y'all are just, y'all are on me. Okay.

Okay. I like the zigzag Carolina Panthers at home plus one and a half. You know what? I'll take the over Sunday night. Pat's bills over 49 and a half. Mm-hmm. and uh has anybody said Houston yet I have I know yes they probably don't cover um and you know what do I do I do it I should have done more totals do I do I do it do I do it Steve should I do it do it

I'm fucking doing it dude you won't you won't do it I'm gonna do it I can we start over New Orleans Saints at home winning the football game. Enough Jackson Dart hype. I think he was fine. Fascinating. He's got to go play in New Orleans now. That stinks. You know, like, why would New Orleans be laying two?

Fascinating game. I don't think they've led. They haven't led all season, and they're laying two points at home? Incredible. They had the lead last week, and I thought that was a catch, and it got called back. I think that the New Orleans Saints are ready to win a football game,

and I know this is not going to go my way, but Okay. That's just the kind of weak it is. This is ugly. I got the browns and the saints. The brows? I got the brows. No.

I can't lose that bet. The brows. Okay. Okay. Fuck. This is so stupid. Super quietly. Somebody's 4-0 on player props.

I know. Yeah. Okay. All right. You ready for this week? Do it again. James Cook, over 13 and a half receiving yards. Why, you ask?

Well, nobody gives a fuck, but there may be points, as you stated, and the pets can give up a few receptions to running backs. Yeah, screen game. Cook's out there a lot. All right? Yep. All right. Steve's up.

All right. Screw both of you. Bills under 30 and a half points. And give me the dolphins, minus one and a half. Okay. This guy. You see what he's doing? He's taking the other side of everything. Of everything.

And he's wearing a Maryland shirt. Well, is, I mean, I don't know. Maybe time to rethink Steve. Go ahead. Say it. Say it. Maybe time to rethink Steve. Just Steve in general? Just rethink him Rethink him

I'm thinking I have those picks Written down It wasn't just because I was going against you And I didn't know there were rules To go against somebody If they have the other side Panthers don't look great

Seeing them on the board Here you go Steve try this on And I haven't written down Or as you would say written Cowboys Jets under 47 a half You excited for your last one You want some help

Because I have a layup for you You want to lay up? I don't want, I hate fucking props. I should have just took the Chargers instead of the fucking Saints. I got fancy. I don't know why everybody's on the Chargers. Well, it is a little, I mean, we'll talk about it during the preview. Here's some names.

Alt. I understand. I understand. I understand. I understand. Slater. Slater? Homecoming for the quarterback?

Yep. You know, I didn't know he was from there. Until just now? Until he was like, I'm a Dodgers fan. Oh, he said that. Yeah, which kind of ingrati, you know, like, I don't know, not ingratiating what the word would be. Kind of humanizes him that he watches baseball. Dude.

Like, fucking baseball. No offense to anybody who is really into it right now. I was watching HBO. I saw some Yankees highlights last night. Listen, listen, listen. Listen, I was watching HBO's taps the other night. And I was like, oh, Yankees Red Sox game one is. and to the top of the ninth.

That's cool. Perfect time to watch. Maybe I'll catch the bottom of the night. Exactly. And then I was like, oh, basis loaded with nobody out in a two-run game. Hmm. I'll see what the score is later.

I'll watch the condensed copy. I just, uh, watch my story. Oh my gosh. And they take so long to see the playoffs. You've got to like, I die of old age before the fucking

playoffs start. It's like, oh fuck. Yeah. Sorry. we'll do college football next NFL is What do you hate more? Baseball or college football

College football Because nobody gives a fuck about baseball Everybody has to act like they love college football And really all they're doing is getting drunk and gambling Right You never played the show? What's the show? I like MLB the show That was dope. But I love

I love college football too now Friday night as evidence of that I'm just stalling Hey, maybe the Carolina Panthers, they just zigzag now, you know? You know what? I am going to take the Panthers over team total, 22 and a half. Love it. But I love it.

I mean, I hope, I'm hoping. I hate it all. I hate this week so much that I think it's going to go well. Yep. Do you hate it more than college football? No, I don't hate college football, Steve. It's just, it just is like people are like, you don't watch college football? I'm like, yeah.

I mean, sometimes in the background. But like, you expect me to follow 300 teams of which zero look identical from the last year? I'm good. Well. I'll leave that to Stanford Steve and his big brain. Here's the headline. Virginia stunts Florida State.

Here's the subheadline. Current players carry no baggage that fan base care. doesn't see the big idea. That's exactly it. You talk about why we're going to smack tech this year. We're going to smack the fuck out of tech this year. And I'm going to tell you why.

And I never beat tech. And I respect their program. But they just fired their head coach a couple weeks ago.
