It's Stanford Steve time. Steve joins us from South Bend, Indiana, where he is at College Game Day. We taped this on Friday. You all saw how the Indiana Notre Dame game played out. Chris, making Steve give out their picks for this NFL's Week 16 slate, run through a little bit of college football, and have a blast.

Enjoy the episode. Make sure to come back on Monday for our live Week 16. NFL reaction. See you then. Steve, White, Steve, welcome to the show. Hi, guys. Steve, welcome to the show. Where are you? I'm in South Bend, Indiana.

So by the time this comes out, this game will already be over, right? That's right. I put in the over a long time ago ahead of the snow forecast. Am I fucked? I don't think you're fucked. I just, I've liked the under from all the way from the beginning. And now it's creeping down.

I think it's down at around 50. I just think both defenses are better than the offenses, and I think it sets up for a classic game. I'm fired up to be here. The whole idea and this weight of the playoff, and it's, you know, we're not Notre Dame guys, but it is pretty cool to be here for the historical aspect. Wait, but aren't you a Notre Dame guy?

He's white. No. He does no. Oh, and that he loves Notre Dame when he comes to Notre Dame games when they're in Charlottesville. He's obsessed with Notre Dame. and Duke. Yeah, and Duke basketball.

Well, we're not going to give him a bunch of shit. He's up against him. That was Michael Mayor. Okay. He's up against an out here. We're going to treat him the right way. Hold on. Steve, give us some winner Saturday.

Okay. All right. Let's see. While he thinks, Steve, can the winner of your game there, can they beat Georgia in a backup quarterback? Yes. Okay. That's all I need. Oh, dude.

Gunter Helm over receiving yards for Texas. Jake Bringstool over receiving yards for Clems. Cade Clubnick under 224.5 yards passing. Jeremiah Smith over 69.5 yards receiving for Ohio State. Nick Singleton and Ketron Allen over 59.5 and 49.5 and 459 and a half and 49.5 rush yards. Another name that doesn't count. Those are what I have for Saturday. I'll be damn. You're the man. How about sides?

I don't think SMU has enough. I love Penn State first half. I don't want to have any opening to the back door. Back door. Nobody wants that. Yeah. It feels like that's going to happen. I'm nervous about Texas. They're better in every facet, every position, every unit.

I just feel like 12s a lot of points in a playoff game. And I think Ohio State wins. I still think Tennessee covers. Okay. That's the one I'm inevitably going to be pissed drunk. by the time it starts betting Tennessee. Just bet the dog. That's the Saturday night.

That's the Saturday night. It's about to kick off the coin toss is going on and Chris text me, where are you? Every Saturday. I'm always usually watching an individual. Yeah, I want to know which individual you're watching. How did the guys look?

Hey, Steve, when my phone buzzes during the national anthem at a UVA basketball, game. It's always who's question mark from Chris. You guys are my go-to for the shit I don't bet usually. College basketball, college football. I only gave you four college hoops winners last Saturday. I only gave you four pro football winners last Sunday. Damn, guys. My number. You said only give me two. Well, you want to talk about that real quick before we give

out the picks? I'm going to take a lot of day. I was, I was, I was, I was, dead set on going 0 and 5. I really thought I was going 0 and 5. Yeah, you made this big 0 and 5 deal. You did the whole reverse mojo thing. No, I thought it was done. He texted all crying.

And instead he goes 2 and 3 and we're now 32 games above 500 collectively. Damn, bro. Good for us. Man. But one of you is 20 of those games. More of a team.

guy. We, we. What can I say? Guys, this has got to be one of my best runs, my proudest moments as a podcast. You've earned it. I like you doing the, I like you do, I might have chimed in and checked out. I like the, I like you doing power rankings. You're really into those.

Yeah. I hate power rankings. Yeah. It hates them so much. I was like, can we please do them? Only marginally more than I hate doing the show sometimes. Oh. Anyways.

uh no it's just something about like let me do the same thing i did last week just move a couple people around and really there's no rhyme or reason to it i can make people love list chris they love them they love them in that case here's a list of five winners sunday there we go all right i'm first first pick under steelers ravens 45 i'll be damn there you will chris you're in the middle of this week yeah i'm probably take a second Ha ha. Stay it. Why won't you say it for him?

What do you mean? He always calls me the human rain delay. Well, because he knows I'm just doing a rain delay. The rain comes around every once or a while for me. You're like Seattle. Just raining all the time. Rain delay, rain delay, rain delay. I'll take the Texans over team total.

19 and a half. I'll be down. There we go. Tick, tick, tick, tick. Let me see if it's still snowing. snowing outside. Nope, snow stopped. Oh, good.

The over is in good shape. Let me take a look. Okay. I don't think you guys are going to like either of those. But I shouldn't pick for you guys. I should pick for me, right? Yeah, you should. And I don't like that one.

That one's a toss-up. Jesus Christ. Okay. Okay. Yeah, he's got 10 minutes. Why are we all? Jeez, Louise. Okay.

All right. Okay. Titans Colts under. 42 and a half. It's a slam dunk. And I would like, please. You belly breathing? What's going on here?

The Baltimore Ravens go out and they win that game 27 to 10. I want the Baltimore Ravens minus six and a half points. Thank you. What are you going to say if it doesn't happen? What's your thing going to be? No thing. I'm all in. You're all in.

Okay. All right. I'm going to do it. I'm just going to do it. I'm going to do the icky thing. I'm going to take the Pennix Mobile. The Falcons playing all those points, eight and a half.

Something's going on there. It's just the fact that Giants suck ass. Well, there's a great team in there somewhere. They're just, they're not healthy. They haven't found it. You know, Rakim has a thing. I think the Falcons, I think Pennix looks good. I think they have a day.

I think they cruise. I think Pennix looks good. Yeah, I think Pennix looks good. He might. It's out there. I picked them up for a fantasy toilet bowl matchup this week. Nice. Don't know what that is.

It's the last place game. Oh, you're in the last place game? Damn, dude. I'm in those games too. My kids are like, who'd you, who, who are you playing this way? I'm like, I don't give a fuck about fake football, dude. Yeah. Check my MGM account, son.

Cowboys plus four. I'm not really like that at home. That's a really nice play, Steve. It's an interesting play, Steve. No, I like that play. I didn't say it's. I didn't say he's wrong. And Falcons over 25 and a half.

Wow, you guys. We like the dirty birds. Yikes. It's going to look so good. Penix? Ball's going to be out. Pitts is going to get catches. Dude, watch.

Yo, Pitts is going to go crazy. People are going to be like, yeah, the problem was all these other mere mortal quarterbacks. Pennets, balls, pits, cousins. Just people. thing. The body parts. Yeah, got it. Got it.

All right, am I up? I'll take the under in Cincinnati. Oh, hey, on my list with two stars, under in Cincinnati. Good to know. I don't have a list. Yep.

I shoot from the hip. That's a nice plate, Chris. Thank you. All right. Okay. See, this is a dumb one that'll go over, won't it? holding things together

screw it it could be 10 to 6 under Jags Raiders they're shit yes love that thank you for that that's encouraging and

so I need a total and a side yeah all right I don't know who to pick guys I do would you like me to go no

no because no that'll be there. Chris, have you finished your shopping? No, I'm actually going to go do that physically today. Good luck. It's Charlottesville. There's nobody here. No, I'm talking about like when you can actually leave because Macon. Oh, yeah, you're right.

Ha! You're right. By the time he finishes. That's funny. That's funny. I'm going to our nation's capital or thereabouts. Give me the Washington commanders plus three and a half against the Philadelphia Eagles. I'm a little bit nervous now.

I hope the Eagles won by four. I bet you do. It's not nice. Chris is up. Oh, I'm up. Yep. Yep. I will take

you know what take your time what I'm just going to do it you know a lot of people are probably afraid to do it because of what happened last week but I might just do it it makes no sense what is it? Oh Seahawks I'm going to take the Seattle Seahawks catching three points

did you take them already? No but I just said it out loud Oh you did? Yeah when did you say it? Just now I think it's a great pick. Oh, thank you. It makes no sense. I like it. You can buy that three and a half. Matt, you need two for me?

Yes, sir. You called out the 12s, the whole thing. It'll be good. A total and a pick. You think they're ready to go because we call them out on this podcast? Time to nut up Pacific Northwesterners. Northwesterners? I'll take under Patriots Bills 46 and a half.

What do you say? Patriots bills. I think he did Pat's money line You took a money line Yeah And my final one I need a total We should take five minutes

To just get this next couple picks in You know, just keep them right till his heart out Uh huh Where are the security guys Where's Kinley? Where's Kenley? Canley! Could he pick for making? Kinley's already at the office

you don't have somebody sleeping in your room making sure you're safe at night just standing over they're outside the door can you imagine if they had security for all of them just standing over them at night they're on a TV show early in the morning tomorrow I'll take the Eagles what a little hey who's the guest picker this week Shane Gillis

isn't that great he's the fucking man you really enjoy Shane man enjoy Shane. Oh, he's him here in Notre Dame being a Notre Dame fan he is too. He'll be on one today. You think he might top show him? I don't know.

That's a lot of pressure. But the best was, they said, Shane wants to be part of the field goal kick with Pat. He'll be coming from a tailgate. I'm like, perfect. Yeah, that'll be great. That will be great. That will be fantastic.

You know, I will take the, fuck me, there's not a lot of good totals left, are there? Not a lot of good totals left. Give me the under Miami, San Francisco. I don't know what's doing that game. 44 and a half as we speak right here. Mm-hmm. You know? How far away am I from 2017?

It's just math making. Three full game. Three games? I think I should take the bucks, try to get closer to see you. Four points? I'm not the guy to ask, remember? Here's the other thing. I'm close to taking the Bears plus six and a half against Sproite.

Got it, got it. I'm close taking the Panthers plus five. Right. You could make the Bears seven. Could. I'm going to make the Seahawks three and a half point dogs. Yeah, there you go. Do you think I, bucks or no?

Yeah. Because he's on the Cowboys. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Get your little edge in your head to head. I can't see that final score in my head pictures, though. Bucks are good. Yeah, I think it's like 28, 24.

Hmm. Cowboys are playing hard. Is that right? Yeah, they're playing hard. Although Michael Parsons doesn't work into the playoffs. Did you read that, Steve? he doesn't want the Eagles to win even though the Eagles

that would help him get in the playoffs Oh He has EDS I probably could find that and read it By the time we get another pick Well you could probably Train for a while And Steve

Why don't you tell me where you want your half point While making ponder's Matt I'll let you pick All right let's move it to Cowboys Plus 4 and a half Perfect Hey, you know who's playing close games except for last week? Those Carolina Panthers.

Plus five point. All right. Hang them and bang them. Hang them and bang them. It's four and a half. Fine. The way he said that. All that for that.

You know, it's one of the least bet games. A couple weeks in a row, Cardinals. Good value on the Cardinals. But you picked the Panthers. It's interesting. That's all I'm saying, it's interesting. There's a lot of value on the Cardinals. Huh?

What's up Greenlight fans? It's your boy, Dr. Fax, and I want to talk to you about Airbnb. Me and the Greenlight crew a few years ago, we stayed at Airbnb for the Super Bowl in Arizona, and it was absolutely immaculate. It had a huge cactus in the backyard, had a pool, had enough room for everybody, way better than a hotel.

And then recently just purchased a house with my girl and we found out that we can be host. And your house might be worth more than you think. And you can find out at Airbnb.com slash host. Hey, Steve, I know you got to go, bro, and hang out with your more popular friends. You have a great weekend, man. We have four hours.

Tune in today. Out in the snow. Oh, I cannot wait to watch that. You wear in Virginia? from Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm wearing my brand new Tommy Hill figure winter coat with a hood.

Oh, Steve, I got the Cochlin Christmas card, man. Thanks. Yeah? Yeah, I did too. It's awesome. Are you telling the truth? Yeah, I even texted him about it. He didn't text me anything. Oh. I said, awesome. Sent some emojis. What a show. Take care, Steve.

Night. All right, guys. Tell Kelly, what's up? Tell Shane we said hi. We'll do.
