That's a Bronco sound. I'll take the Denver Broncos. What's, um, Kenneth Walker's rushing and receiving combined prop? Love it. Chris is- Shut the fuck up, Siri. I'm trying to win a damn contest. 109 and a half yards.

I'll do rushing and receiving. I'll go over. This is what's called a, this is what's called a hedge, all right? I'm going to- Walker's rushing yards. No, ding-dong. Give me Kenneth Walker's receiving yards over 21-5. Eat it, Dick.

He's going to run for 120 and catch one seven-yard dump down. I'm going opposite making again. Kenneth Walker under 21 and a half receiving yards. Gentlemen, white Steve. Let's Crown Macon. Give him the title. Just give it to him. Right before he came on, he was like, guys, we should stop right here.

Yeah. No, I didn't. It's always been the way he is. Always. No, I didn't. May I read a statement I've prepared? Oh, sure. I'll end with the words, thank you, so you can save your interruptions, all right?

You'll know it's over when I say thank you. Ending the Picks competition after the divisional round is reasonable because there are too few games left to sustain meaningful competition. This limited opportunity reduces fairness and skill, With only three games left, a single lucky pick can drastically alter standings. This makes it difficult to reward consistent performance over the season. Chance, you see, dominates skill. Concluding the competition now ensures the results reflect the majority of the season. Concluding the competition now is fair, practical, and preserves competitive integrity

because the small number of remaining games is insufficient to meaningfully differentiate participants. Thank you. Fuck off. And we start the show with the first pick. Oh, okay. Who's got that this week? You, little ass boy. Steve, did you have fun at the national championship?

Yeah. Yeah, it was awesome. It was all cracked up to me. Where were you? I was waiting for you. I was at the house. I decided to watch from the house. Did you enjoy the game?

I did very much, so. I didn't want Miami to win. I enjoy when they lose. And, yeah. Did you ISO cam Ruben Bain at all or no? Yeah, Ruben Bain's a beast, dude. Yeah. I like him a lot.

I like him a lot. I think you're going to like this class a lot at the D-D line a lot. a lot. It's funny. Different guys. That's what's cool. Yeah. Yeah.

He's definitely a unique cat. Yeah. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, kind of the same, got a little more speed. Bailey's the guy that has Twitch at Texas Tech. You got Falk who's undersized at Auburn. You'll have a field day with these guys. Can't wait to watch 20 minutes of YouTube clips on, uh, the highlights.

and the strengths and weaknesses of these guys and talk about it with authority this spring. That's the name of the game, Macon. Macon's pissed. Maui, go, and not one of my guys, all right? I didn't know what I saw. I like FAA out of Utah. We're talking offensive tackle now.

Yeah. Maui Noah. Well, we're talking pro football. We're talking pro football here. guys. I can't wait to see what you do with the first pick. Calbs, you want to run us through the standings or what? Everyone knows. Yeah, everybody knows. Everyone knows. Top dog, making Gunter, 55, 42, and 3, Chris 54, 46, and Steve 52, 46, and two. Making got there. He's in the number one place because he had a four and one week last week. Oh. Congratulations, but.

buddy. What's the win percentages? Who gives a shit? Okay. All right. I almost wanted to say congratulations on winning the whole thing, but then I remember there's a whole other fucking week. Two weeks.

Oh, we're doing two? Yeah, we do Super Bowl. Oh, we do? Yeah, when's making it going in Super Bowl? Do we do Super Bowl? We should do. What days you get there? Pro Bowl games, too.

Pro Bowl, throw it in. Do we do Super Bowl? We've made Super Bowl picks, but we've ended after the Commerce Championship. Oh, okay. But hey, throw Super Bowl in. Fuck it. No, I mean, no, we're not doing this because, no.

This is it. This is it. This is it. This is it. All right. I just want authority. This is, I'm just going by the book. All right.

You know? I'm on a little ass boy. And with that, Chris, first pick. Yeah. That's a Bronco sound. I'll take the Denver Broncos. What is it? Four and a half for us?

Four and a half. All right. I'm up. You're up. I'm going to take the Rams. Hmm. Wow. Hmm.

That's your first pick here, Mick. So we can really do whatever we want here, huh, Cald? Correct. I'm not sure what to do. Okay. Do we have anything underlined? What was underlined? I have highlighter today.

Calbs? Hey. You know what they say about the lead dog? He sets the tone. Something about if you're not the lead dog, the view never changes. View never changes. Just looking at a bunch of buttholes. Yep.

You got. Okay. Cowell, what is, tell me what's off the board. Off the board. Steve, the Broncos plus four and a half and the Rams plus two and a half. Steve took the Rams plus two and a half. Mm-hmm.

Calypbs, give me the Patriots under 23.5. All right? All right. And I'll take those Seattle Seahawks out of the NFC West, laying two and a half at home. Okay, perfect. This makes sense. I will take the Patriots over. I don't like this at all. I'm confused. This makes me want to throw up.

I'm opposite him, Chris, to try and get picks back. No, I like it. I like it. And you know what? I'm going to take Denver over. 16 and a half. Chris Pick. Oh, sorry.

Yeah. He's not taking that. I'm going to take it. He's not going to take it. I am going to take. I mean, Houston scored 16 points last week. Yeah. Not playing, barely playing the sport.

He might be trying to mind fuck me here by doing this. So I'm going to take my time here. Take your time. A lot of player props out there. I know there are. There certainly are. Soytonly are. And you know, it's a lot of eggs in one basket, right?

You know, putting the Denver team total over with Denver catching four and a half points, you know. I can't really see a situation where they go over and don't cover. Yeah. Maybe you're in first, you hedge. Not in first. Maybe you go for it. Yeah. Or maybe I just let Steve do what he was about to do in a second.

And, uh, hmm. Picture this. Dick Tom. Picture this. Patriots 23, Denver 20. That's a Patriots under. It's a cover. It's a cover and, but you get the 2720 thing and then we're,

it's good if you hedge. What if you get the 2316 thing? The 2316 thing kind of scares me. Give me Drake May under one and a half passing touchdowns. What are the odds on that? Minus 130, right on the line. Oh, I'll take it. I'll give it.

Under one and a half touchdowns? Mm-hmm. Under one and a half passing touchdowns. Wow, I thought that would be plus. Huh. nice job chris chris nice one buddy thank you and one more oh one more what's the Seattle team total seehawks team total is 25 and a half man those motherfuckers I feel like I bet their team total before right in this neighborhood let me hop into my bed MGM app

here and look at one thing gentlemen if I may I don't want to say no problem because I was going to say if I had Seattle team total under last week and if they don't return to kickoff and then they don't have two defensive touchdowns they go under. No, I know. Hmm. Well, if you don't know what I was saying? If my aunt were my uncle. Got that right.

My mom would have a dick. That's what Mike Tomlin said essentially. And I don't have any aunts for the record. Really? No, aunts. Oh. No, I am. No, aunts.

Do you mean living? I mean, yeah, technically. Yeah, I don't want to get into it. All right. I just know a lot about your history because we've been lifelong friends, you know? Yeah, yeah. Well, I guess you don't know all that. Hold on a second here, guys.

Jiminy Christmas. Where were? You took me off my scent here. You had asked about CS. Oh, I got that. I got it. Come on now. Okay, hold on one second.

Here we go. I'm looking at, uh, mm-hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Say, what's,

um, Kenneth Walker's rushing and receiving combined prop. Love it. Okay. Chris is. Shut the fuck up,

Siri. I'm trying to win a damn contest. Kenneth, uh, one hundred and nine and a half yards. And what are the odds on that? Minus 105.

You're in the neighborhood. And what are the rushing yards? Minus 15, Calbs for being accurate. Even better. 83.5. rushing yards. Where they get you is, they put

the numbers right where, you know, they're going to land. I'll do rushing and receiving. Going over or under. I'll go over. Kenneth Walker over 109.5 rushing and receiving yards. Good luck fitting all that

in there. While you're checking numbers making well I don't like to start until I'm on the clock. Well I was looking for help to make it quicker to get to you. Do you guys really like the pick I just made

or do you not like it? It's uncharted waters because there's first time with no sharpening. I know. Was that under over? I'm seeing a couple. You know what I'm seeing? Yeah.

I'm seeing some bounce runs on the edge, explosives, Emmanuel Forbes, you know, not being the lead dog, looking at somebody's butt, and he's not looking at K-Walk, and then he gets out on the edge,

and I'm also looking for some dump downs. Yeah. Give me Broncos over 16 and a half, then. What did he just do? Had a baby, Steve. Brock goes over six. That's a nice big, Steve.

Thanks, buddy. Are you guys just all on the Broncos because Reed's the Bronco fan? No, I'll tell you why I'm on the Broncos because Jared Stidham's not that bad. I'm what you. And C.J. Stroud last week was a terrorist, you know, like it wasn't good. And so all we need is somebody to just show up and take care of the football. Yeah. And I think you're covering.

It's like the biggest championship round home dog ever. Is that? It's got to be. crazy. Giants were a dog. I remember when they whipped Minnesota. Yeah.

That was three. Right around there. I also feel like Steve, the pass rush is going to pose some problems for the Patriots front. Agreed. You know, got to drive the field.

They're not great in the red zone on either end. Mm-hmm. Okay, Makin, you should have a pick by now. Or two. Calbs. Steve's column is over here damn it

I was looking at I thought you thought what were you thinking that was your first mistake Calves yeah so Chris is in second place

yeah yeah here we go with some Maricopa County bullshit and he just took Kenneth Walker 109 and a half over all right

yeah this is what's called of This is what's called a hedge, all right? He's taking Kenneth Walker's rushing yards. No, ding-dong. Give me Kenneth Walker's receiving yards over 21 and a half. Eat a dick. He's going to run for 120 and catch one seven-yard dump down.

Okay. I mean, just, you know, going out like that. And? I'm thinking. They got to. Who's their third back? the guy named like Bob or something

you're fucking kidding me with the head George Halani Halani Jorke active good ball catcher hey man I'm sorry dude I don't know who to pick I never know who to pick

I'm throwing darts over here trying to win the game That's not what we want to hear from a leader He's upset I don't want him to be upset I don't want him to be upset All right you seem a little upset I'm not going to take his overrushing as well all right. I'm going to stop it right there.

It's just weak sauce. It's, you know, it's just weak sauce. How do you mean? We're not doing some blot. We're not doing some blind, submit your five picks. It's a competition. I know, it's, you know, it's, um, it's about competing.

It's about competing, bro. Speaking of competing, Chris, did you go. For signetti, bro. Chris, did you go to the senior ball? Um, no, I didn't. to go to the senior bowl. Were you injured? No, I opted out of it

because it was a weak draft class and I was projected to go high so I had nothing to gain. No big deal. Well, I qualify with a weak draft class. Otherwise, your boys, your boys going to the senior bowl.

Yeah. Wreck and shop. Yeah, just fucking bull rushes all day on the NFL network. We're still waiting for making, right? Yeah, we are. who now who did Steve take the over new England and over Denver yeah they makeovers for that what is he doing dog what is he doing you know people some people are those people that

love to hear people love to have people hear them talk yeah he like he loves that he loves that that people have to watch him try and look like he's thinking. He's the, yeah. Look at him with the purse lips. Where's your, where's your Nerf gun? Right here. Careful.

Oh, it went off again, but what you're thinking? You're getting that action down. Yeah. Hey, Steve, talk to me about the, uh, L.A. Rams. tight ends because we got Parkinson who catches a bunch of balls, but now Higby's healthy also catching balls. Yep.

Who do you say gets more balls and yards? You know, targets. They're all getting balls. They're all getting yards. It's hard to tell week to week. That doesn't help. Higby's more explosive. Parkinson's a monster target.

I got to be honest with you guys. I'm not sure here to pick here. Can I pick for you? That's 10 out of 10 No, 9 out of 9 The last two weeks That's why he did He's superstitious because he said that

Before every pick last week I know No, no, no, no, no Yeah, come all See, oh All right Okay, Steve Parkinson

Over 25 and a half In part In part Because Higbee's ineligible at minus 140. Honest Abe over here. So you were saying the whole time you didn't know who to pick, you knew the whole time because one was ineligible.

Yeah, Steve, but I would have tried to cheat if I... Okay. Let's go Kenneth Walker under... Also, we check all the... We check all the odds, it's not... You're not like... You're like, oh, I found a $100 bill. Everyone.

Just turning it in. Reed, I'm going... I'm going opposite making again. Kenneth Walker under 21 and a half receiving yards. Hey, buddy. You're going to end up letting Chris win if you don't go opposite him here, one of these. It's better than you. So what's making on so far? Pat's team total under 23 and a half, Seattle minus two and a half. Kenneth Walker over 21 and a half receiving yards and Colby Parkinson over 25 and a half receiving yards. I got to say, I don't really want to go opposite because I like his picks.

thank you chris you got a brain in your head you're a good guy i'll take the first half under in game number two waiting around all day tight booties loud crowd both teams are going to try to run the football, gentlemen. 23.5. Bang. He runs a fucking kickoff back the first fight. You could just cash me outside, dude. I saw one book had most bet player prop was Rashid over rush attempts or rush yards.

Chris, your final pick? Hold on one second. Of the 2025 backdoor cover show. Now cows. Hey? Would Chris try to reach through the screen if I took the Rams or Seahawks under Team Total first half?

It's out here. It's on the app. They got everything. However you want to do it, however you want to do it. I'm just teasing you, man. He's going to do it. Here I was this week trying to figure out,

hey, what are the best props to play? All week he's been jacking off. Thinking about how do I gameify this thing? you know and then when I lose I can say well I was just I wasn't even playing the game

Yeah, it is fun. Every snap, man. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you watch tape? That's cool. Check this out. All right. I will bet for, I'll take Denver and New England not going to overtime.

Are you guys worried we're going to lose power with the storm? Yes, I am worried about what do you think the odds are? I'm going to be... Let's set odds on us losing power. We're supposed to get, depending on whether the weather channel could read. Depending on. Hold on, Calves. Keep it there. All right.

All right. Hey, I think it's... I think it's 60-40. We lose power. Oh, that's not. Before or after? the game. Oh, I didn't even think about it.

It's going to be before. It's going to be Sunday morning. No. It's supposed to, it's going to dump snow Saturday night into Sunday but I bet we lose power earlier. Let me ask you something.

Let me ask you some. No dumb questions. Say my generator works as it's intended to work. Will the internet work? Yeah. Yes. I've been meaning...

Then we're good. I've been... Did you test your generator? I've been meaning to bring this up. I did test the generator, yes. Is there anybody in your guest house presently? No. That's what I was going to ask.

No. If you have trouble. That's really generous of you. I appreciate that. I know you guys aren't familiar with downtown Hartford, Connecticut. but we had one of these storms about seven or eight years ago and the Sheridan in downtown Hartford was charging like

1,600 a night. Oh, that's so fucked up, dude. And everyone lost, like everyone up there lost power. It was, I couldn't I was like, that is, oh. Well, here's the trouble. The production team here says, because they have the Weather Channel app,

that we're supposed to get eight inches. Yeah. On the weather app on my cell phone, which is maybe I'm dumb, I usually click that thing. It says like a foot and a half, like foot in three quarters. But all the sleet afterwards is going to push it down. It's going to be, it's going to be 10, Chris. It's going to be 10 inches and then some icing on top. If you got shoveling to do, you got to layer your shoveling.

you got to go out don't go wait till it's done you'll break your back exactly that's right it's good idea guys um one more time here let me look at this board one more time

yeah we've got one more pick from making Jesus oh what the fuck this has all been you I don't know who to take I don't know who to take well you're yelling at me about about all this we're just talking about weather Chris and I we're done

yeah we're done bro we're just too old guys talking about the fucking weather bro you can't multitask how do you how do you work calbs hell oh he went Parkinson under dork okay i'm i'm nearing a pick the storm is nearing too did that start in texas yet the storm i don't know man but i have a dinner i have to go to and tonight i can't wait to tell him i'm late because I didn't know what fucking prop to pick. There should be zero overlap. You can pick anything.

Kelbs. Ew. Again. So Steve's on over Denver team total, yeah? Yeah. Can I get whatever Denver's first half team total points is, please? This fucking guy. Over or under?

A-ZER. Oh. probably I hope Denver fucking half is it eight and a half that'd be two it's probably seven and a half it is it is eight and a half but the

over is minus 135 sorry bro fuck you show me that cow I can't do your screen can't do it bro show me your screen can't do it bro nope can't out of look at all those tabs

busty milfs com Cald's, are you serious? Yeah. The under is under eight and a half is plus 105. Is that a website? I should check. Minus 135.

You're being serious. It is a website. Pretty low budget website, too. Calps, we move your head down. Pat's team total over, but then he's just, oh, I could hedge that. Because I got New England under. Chris, when you do the, I don't know what to do.

Chris, did Whaling get a Trey Johnson jersey last night? He did. Yes, did he really? He did. They gave him one. Awesome. Cows. Damn it, that's a great pick.

Give me. Give me dinner. In the first half. Huh? Give me Denver's over in the first half. Over eight and a half? No, you can't. It's 135.

He knows it. He's filibustering. Yeah. This is unbelievable. Hey, Calbs. Hey. What's the Rams? What's the Rams first half line? I'm in a blender. Rams plus a half point.

For the love of God. Calbs. Hey. What's Broncos at half time? Like Broncos first... Yeah, the Patriots are unbelievable in first half. Something like 15 and 1 to the money line. Trying to figure out what to do.

Yeah, well, my wife is going to beat me... I can hear my dinner. With one of those dough rollers or something, like maybe a household item. Not to be sexist, but she's going to beat me with like a... Yeah, I'm supposed to leave in 19 minutes for dinner. Cooper Cup over receiving yards. What's that number?

I don't know. I don't give a fuck. Bang. Bang. There you go. Let's look at the board one time, boys. Yeah. We got half points.

We need half points. I'll take the ramps. Yeah, that's why we're looking at the board. Good. Rams plus three. Oh, no. Mm-hmm. Oh, that's really smart.

Oh, I thought it was a wins league. No, yeah, you're right. No, it's stupid, but it's like a half point on some of this. Oh. Oh. Drink my under two. This fucking sucks. Okay.

Oh, Chris, I like your first, the fourth one. Oh, the first half under? Yeah. The problem is, it's a wins league. You know? You know, I'm going to do people a service because this is what I did, IRL. It really doesn't matter.

Everything's got a hook on it. There's nothing I can do. Correct. So I'm just going to give people the real. I bought Denver, IRL, to five. Go ahead and do that. This is a people's pick. This is a people's show.

Win or lose. Do we have to wait for making the decide on his? could take another half hour. Well, I got bad news for making. He's in the same fucking boat. Yeah. I'm going to do the Pats total to 24, please. There we go.

Thank you. Thanks. Have a great weekend, boys. Hey, you guys have a great weekend, man. Chris, I'll be in touch about your house. You're going to come hang out? I might have to bring the whole fam. Well, no, no, no, buddy.
