Steve in Studio J, rip in some of their favorite picks from the NFL's Week 15 weekend right at you. Take these picks straight to the BetMGM app. Fellows, we're feeling good on them today. Enjoy the episode, good bit of fun. We'll see you next week. Hey, Steve, welcome to the show. We're on a very tight schedule today and you appeared six minutes late despite dictating the time we were starting. Do you have a response?

You know, life gets in the way. I'm not going to let you do this to Steve. Holiday season. Great to see you guys. Happy to be here. Let's do some picks. Steve, I noticed game day is not doing Army Navy this week. Is that a, is that a troops thing? I mean, come on. All right. There's this playoff thing. It's, when does the playoffs start? Next, I'm leaving for South Bend Wednesday. Okay, but not during the Army Navy game. No. Are you doing South Bend one day and Columbus the next? We're doing four hours before South Bend.

We're doing halftime. We're chartering over to Columbus. We're doing three hours from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. And ready to go. Look at you, Louise. And then on top of that, I get to go to Lambeau Field for the first time. Oh, that's awesome. I've shopped for more battery-charged weather.

Heaters? Yeah, winter clothing than anyone has in the last three days. Oh, you've never, you've never been there. I haven't bought one thing. You've never been there. No. Not even like for not a game. Like nothing.

Oh man, it's crazy. I'm pumped. As a, as a child, I was a far guy. Like, backers were my squad. Yeah. And yeah, I'm fired up. I don't care what it is. I'll be in.

I know you've said it's overrated. Mark Gassanoe probably doesn't like you being a barb guy. Yeah, how long did he wait to do that? Man, it's hard. I was at that game. I was at that game. You thought Farrv just laid down five minutes ago. Speaking of Brett, it's currently four degrees in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Yeah. Yeah, I saw that. Feels like negative something. And Gassano, he's right. Farv laid down, but some things are not that big a deal. Like, just be happy. You're like Mark Gassano, dude. It was 20 years ago, Mark.

Where are you been? If Mark felt like he was missing out on speaking, engagements and the like for not having that record. He should have done that little viral moment about 15 years ago. Oh, yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. I do think it probably cut into the bottom line for Mark.

A little bit. But I don't think if he had X amount more money, you know, it would make him happy. I did. I appreciated the revisit because I did like being there and the Giants fans all go and I forgot how Stray had like thought he won a Super Bowl. No question. No question. Hey, the other, the other news item I wanted to hit you on.

Yeah, buddy. Have you heard about Bill Belichick leaving inside the NFL? I was thinking about all the entities he has become a part of. Like, I guess he's not going to do a Manning cast. Guess he's not going to go on Pat Show. Coach podcast. Guess he's not going to go on inside the NFL. Well, because he's got to pick one.

He can't pick and choose. You can't keep doing one thing. not do the other. I don't know what's going to happen. Oh, he made one pick and that was Chapel Hill. Yeah. All you others, peace out. Hey, so question, how many games does he win next year? Have you seen the schedule? A lot of winnable games for UNC. Pull that schedule up for Steve. Does he have to go to Charlottesville? Well, I was thinking 11 and 1. We're going there. Obviously. And then he goes to the Browns. Oh, I think this is the last stop. I don't even need to see the schedule. I think it's nine and three. That's the conversation I want is to like pull some receipts in every single person that said he was coming back to break down Shul's record.

I want to hear from them because that's all anyone talked about. Yeah, but everything's not a, hey, you know, you were wrong. I was right. No, no, no, no. I just want to hear how many people said that. No, I know. That's it. We can pick up the pieces now, though.

And I think it's one of a couple things either. And number one, I think Steve, and I'll talk about this on the show later because I want to hear what Dr. Fax's take is too. But number one, it could be a situation where he says, hey, I'm 72 years old. I don't want to die without a gold jacket going back and committing another 10 years to the NFL to build a program or chase a record, even if it would be quicker than that. You know, because you can't go on the Hall of Fame while you're coaching. The second one for me would be, you know, it's an obvious play for Steve to get the job in a couple years, which I think it could be, and it could be something else. Like, he could be looking at this cycle of hires and say, hey, I don't like any of the openings. Maybe there's a job he has an eye on and he just got word that is not going to be open this year.

And maybe it'll be open another year. You looked at the buyout. The buyouts like it goes from 10 million to one mill. But either way, if somebody really wanted to buy bill out, 10 mil, they'll do that. So it's not even like the buyouts, the thing driving this, this theory. But I think he could be looking at the cycle right now and saying like, hey, there's one job I like. It's not going to be open. The other thing is maybe he's just really psyched about like playing emperor and like building his little empire.

What do you think his reaction is when he sees Daibo running down the hill in Death Valley? Fucking fucking asshole. Dabo? He meant dabbo. We all knew what he meant, Steve. You don't have to be a jerk about it. Yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, You call people the wrong game.

That's on me, Steve, hand up. No, but you know what? I like Daibo. Let's call him Daibo. But he won't see Daibo run down the hill because they're in Chapel Thrill as well this year. Well, Davos in the playoff. That's what he's thinking of. Yeah.

Well, so here's the schedule real quick. All right. You go win, loss real quick. TCU. Loss. At home? Yes. Okay.

At Charlotte. They're going to be missing Biff Pogi. That's a win. Versus Richmond. When? win at UCF he's not losing the UCF when versus Clemson they're beating Clemson loss I think I lose to Davo versus Duke toss up versus Stanford win what what oh yeah you're right you got a you got a GM now basically or what is he uh is he is he like the athletic GM okay Stanford Virginia that's where I think it gets

dicey for him South oldest rivalry they can't beat Virginia. Hey, I'm going to that game. I commit to go to the Belichick bowl as long as there's a Belichick coaching at UNC, whether I'm driving down to Chapel Hill or I'm coming to the UVA game, because those are my guys, man, but we got to take care of them. Okay, Virginia, at Cal. Please. Sleepy. Sleepy. At NC State. Look out. That's a loss too. At Syracuse. Has it rolling. Fran Brown, lost. This is maybe eight and four. At wait for us. That's eight and four. Yeah. Duke got the best quarterback in the country. Minza. Can you imagine Bill at the Pop-Tart

having to hang out with a fucking Pop-Tart? How about the Mayo Bowl? Oh, dumping mail on Bill. Covered in Mayo. 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. Anyways, let's get to the picks, fellas.

How do we do last week? Not well, not me. Overall, not terrible. Chris is still in the lead at 62%. Went two and three last week. I suck. Steve had a great week. Went four and one.

He's at 57%. And Macon had a positive week. three and two he's at 51 percent chris has the first pick today trying to get back on the one i'm down in the dumps guys you know i had the i had the niners last night i was like oh the rams are so public it just makes too much sense the rent but you know what the green law thing killed me yeah the minute green law let we could talk about the offense purdy was uh late in that game debo dropped a touchdown over debo dropped a touchdown give me the ball okay here it is yeah touchdown all right so anyways

had the under Monday night. I'm just going to stop betting primetime games. I'm the worst. All right, my first pick, without further ado, I'm going to roll the special out off the rip. I'm going to go with the bills over 26 and a half.

I'll be down. Team total. All right. Macon, you have the second pick today? Oh, for crying out loud. There we go.

Okay. Do you guys like that or not? It was I couldn't tell. I don't want to, yeah, I like it because I don't want anything to do with the bill's defense. I'm really worried about them.

Yeah, I am too, but even if they give up 40, they're probably going to score 28. There you go. Yeah. The way you say 20. Okay. I'm going to go here. Matt, we talked about this yesterday, and I flip-flopped. Give me the Houston Texans at home.

The hedging. Minus three, that will be where my half point is hosting the Miami Dolphins, overvalued Miami Dolphins. Oh, I'd so agree. But here's the thing I worry about. Aziz Al-Shayir is on he's on suspension after he murdered Trevor Lawrence. This is that's a big worry for me. But other than that, I mean, it's like Miami going on the road to play a team with a winning record. Right.

And a pass rush. Right. Okay. All right. Team off a lot. Give me the dolphins. You're an asshole. Hey, let's spark it up here a little, huh?

I'm going to catch you, you know that? I'm going to catch you and I'm never going to let you forget about it. I think you went 0 and 2 last week going against. How'd that charger's. But I knew, but I knew I had picked the wrong pick. I asked for an asterisk on the graphic. You can get it. And then you should have one for kids.

You don't get asterisks for, for knowing you made the wrong pick. You get it when the line moved. I knew it right away. Okay. You knew it right away. And is this me? Give me the Cardinals. Okay, took the Cardinals, hosting the Pat.

That's not going to be a very, it's not going to be a very bet game. No. Okay. All right. You want me to make a pick? Sure. Pittsburgh Steelers plus five and a half. Wow.

It's just, just rolling off the tongue today. Pittsburgh Steelers plus five and a half. Kids must have went to bed early last night. Yeah. Got some homework. It must have gone to bed if we're correcting people. Give,

give the kids some credit. Hey, listen. I'm done with these guys for all intents and purposes, but I need one last, one last hit of the Bengals. The Bengals laying five points. Their defense is terrible. You know,

is Tennessee going to be able to run the ball? Sure. But like, Will Levis, I'm out. I'm out on the Titans. I'm in on the Bengals, minus five.

I noticed you didn't say anything about my Steelers pick. It's a lot of points, but I do lean Eagles. Really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, the Eagles, they just barely beat the Panthers. Everybody's going to be on there.

Oh, it's so many points. Steelers are going to be down George Pickens. That's right. Fewer 15-yard penalties. I think everybody matches up pretty well. Yeah, you're right about that on the Eagles side of the ball defensively. Okay. Good defense.

Look out. You got another pick, Chris. Okay, my pick is going to be the, I'll take the Chiefs Browns under 43. Steve's Brown's under 43. There's some inclement weather at that game, according to NFL weather.com, so I'm going with the under. Make sure.

I think it'll block Miles Garrett. What are they going to do? I'm interested to see what the game plan is. I like a few of these, Matt. I got to Molly the guards out. You know what I'm saying, Steve? When's the last time you heard about Molly and the guards out? Dude.

What is that? Not in the club. club molly that's when the guards that's when the guards come out and set like like outside the tackle oh gotcha it's a really rare and then what if what if the browns double mug the guards oh chest dude come on now don't be playing checkers yeah no you don't want to do that fuck checkers give me stupid game the sunday night game seahawks plus two and a half at home Against the Green Bay Packers. Thank you, Steve. Love it.

Thank you. All right, Steve, you got two picks. Just remind you need two totals. Okay, give me the under 20 and a half for the Colts at Mile High. The white guy's down. Riley Moss? It's all right. Okay.

And give me the over in Dolphins, Texas. Hmm. Over 47. Stroud off a buy has to be. Has to be better. Has to be. Offensive line has to be better. Makes you got two picks left.

Has to be a total. Give me the under in Dolphins, Texans. Wow. Wow. What a fucking showdown this is. Because Steve, listen to this. Texans 27. Dolphins 13.

I love that. That's an under. Love that. We don't have to hear anything else about the dolphins. Chris, you got the next two picks. You need to pick one side and one total. Yeah, you know, I'll take the,

I'll take the bucks catching three. And I will take the Giants, Baltimore under. How many points do the Giants score? Seriously, mate. How many points you? you see them scoring 13 no 10 14 14 unfortunately i think the ravens are right at 30 um okey doke why you're thinking about it chase long needs a big play this weekend just a big chasey play what do you guys like the best i'm humbling myself

I'm asking the group. I've lost my touch. Colts Broncos under, please. Gosh, I don't know, guys. I don't know about this. Riley Moss is down. Totals go over. Playoff feel.

People get tight. People get tight in a playoff. Steve already took the under for the Colts. Yeah. He's a smart guy. Yeah. Bit of a hedge. A bit of a hedge.

Kind of a next level, sort of a hedge for me. Nice level. Yeah. Steve has the last pick. Gotta be a total. Got to be a total. If I'm wrong, then Steve's wrong. See what I did there?

Not bad. Jets, Jags under. 40 and a half. By the way, we love the Jets. I don't know why we didn't give out the Jets. We personally. Hmm.

We? Yeah, the Royal We. That might be your Chase, Chase. Yeah, that's Stevie. You want that half point on the Cardinals minus six? To move it to five and a half? No, Texans. Okay.

I'll tell you what I'd probably do. I probably put in a fat teaser, big fat teaser, bangles, commanders, something like that, get it over with. Take a bath in the 1 p.m's, chase more in the 4 p.ms. It's another week. It never loses Jets Jants' Jets, Giants teaser. The other side of it. No.

You want to tease the Giants to catch in 20. I get 22? That's, I'm telling you, man. The Ravens, Lamar at the, podium was like, man, I'm not happy. My mom got mad at me. I'm going to fucking kill the Giants, dude. That's what he said. Giants before the Eagles beat the Ravens, the Giants were the only NFC team to beat

There's no writing on the back. And I showed my wife, and I'm like, hey, look at this. And she said, yeah, why is there no writing on the back? My dad was making fun of your Christmas card. He said, he said, Macon sent us a picture of his driveway.

Look, are you serious? I am serious. You just sent a picture of your house? Look, I'm getting rave reviews. Paul Kingston doesn't know what he's looking at anymore. I'm getting rave reviews left and right. Would you send a picture of your house? It went to your house too.

Just look through the, look through the file. Steve, send me an address. We didn't put that one on the wall. We only sent me an address. You'll get one. People on the wall. This is, you got to put a, you take, we know the process. We're not part of it mostly.

100% a part of it. Is fucking Scott, Pelt wearing a barber vest in his little logo there? Uh-oh. Could have gotten drawn in any kind of way. He was like, draw me in a barber vest. You know what you do with the shutterfly is you take a million pictures.

Just take a silly one and put it on the back in a mini mini-s. I understand, Steve. The way people display it, you don't. You only see the front. I might have made a small mistake. It's still an outstanding Some people hang their Christmas cards.

You can see both sides. I know. Okay. All right. It's a fair criticism. I screwed it up. Yep. You did.

You fucked it up. All right. Is Santa going to forgive you? Hey. Did you go see Santa? Yeah, I've seen like seven freaking Santa's at this point. I went to Stanton, Virginia, to see Santa for crying out loud. So you see multiple Santas in the same year?

Yeah. Oh, your kids aren't that smart. I don't think your kids are that smart. My kids are all. We can't. It doesn't matter. We can't risk taking... They know that some people impersonate Santa.

Maybe your kids aren't that smart. My kids know. My kids know. That's why we do one Santa only per year. In fact, we go to the same Santa every year because they'll start being like, that's not the same fucking guy. We already got one that's done. Our 11-year-old is done.

Done? Doesn't believe? She can tell the others? Nope, she hasn't. She's actually took over the assignment of elf on the shelf. That's a leader right there. Yeah.

Yeah. It's just totally unrealistic. It's a tough sell. It's the idea, all right? It's the idea of Santa. Yeah, they love it. They love it. So we're in.

And then my middle one told me on the way to school today that what she really wants from Santa is for me to buy Mommy a G-wagon so she could get dropped off at school in a G-wagg. Where did that come from? I don't know, but I think these YouTubers are getting a little, inside our kids' heads and we're going to limit the old YouTube times. Yes. Or did Mommy plant that, Steve?

Oh, no. It's the YouTubers. Okay. Mommy's doing all right. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Hey, Steve.

Have a great weekend, buddy. Hey, enjoy the festivities, guys. Yeah, and happy hunting to everybody at home. We'll talk to you about the playoff next week. Yeah. Take good care. See you, Steve.
