for NFL Week 16 reactions with Chris, Bo, and Dr. Fax from catching. Why, Steve? How was Berkeley? Crazy. Crazy. Coach Saving got me pretty good on the show. It was fun, though. I did say when I did my little spiel, you never doubt Cal fans.

I think people on the East Coast don't realize how big that school is, and they showed out. But boy, was that the most all-time Cal football game. It's 35, 10, and they can never get it. Get it done. But we're back here in Eugene. Are you sitting in a high chair? that's pretty funny i did note that it is higher than chris's i think it's a regular chair

we're working through some stuff on set we've changed the set yeah construction everywhere you look it's kind of like a stadium uh renovation yeah who's it who's the uh foreman um the cowboy or cowboy yeah i'm like the owner cowboy's like my foreman he's got a mustache we made all the taxpayers pay for it Steve how long Did you date the gal at Cal, the Cal gal? Did you have a Cal gal? Was that true? Yeah.

Yeah. About a year. Oh, wow. That's major, that's kind of a major relationship. Oh, no, was it? Because she went semester at C and then it was done before that. Yeah. Was she woke?

I don't know. Is she broke? I don't know. You know what? they say. She didn't holler after Nick Saving gives her the shout. No. That was pretty electric, bro.

Some of my friends were like, look, Sabin owned Steve. And they sent me like a video. I'm like, no, that's like the best own ever. It's like he's on a set with Nick Saven and Savan's busting his balls and having fun on Nashville TV. It's amazing. About knowing girl. Would Charlottesville show out like that?

Yeah, dude. Look no further than the basketball game days. it would be like that you build it we will come wait there was a basketball scrimmage last week that was like more well attended than the football game yeah okay we haven't we haven't built the football program yet i know so building this year monster game this week problem is the lines problem is the lines too big Vegas knows seven points yeah it's that the um secondary is banged up four and one though we'll take it okay all right um yeah welcome

Well, no, I was going to say welcome back to the mainland, but you're in Eugene. You're out in the radicalized. Two weeks in a row flying home, eventually flying home from San Francisco airport. Pat asked on the call this week if we can go to Maui next week to get to Miles in. Yeah, that'd be nice. Let's circle back to an electric college football slate in a bit. how did we do with locks this past week, fellas? What are the standings?

Got Chris at 15 and 10. He went 3 and 2. Makes you are just over 500, 12, 11, and 2, although a rough 1 in 4 week. And Steve is back to even money, 12, 12, and 1. I think he's got an issue with one of the, how you guys.

So I don't know if you guys are just idiots or what, because I did not go 1 in 4 last week. Who is doing this math? The cowboy, Tanner, the cowboy? I take it back, Cowboy. I would never say an ugly word about you. But that is wrong. You are wrong.

I have at least two wins last week. At least. I'm finding the thing. At least. I think it's two. I think I went two and three. I can go one and four. I think the construction's getting away.

The guy's doing some math. I mean, this is ridiculous. You give this to one of the, you know, Reed, you're a boss around. He'd give this one of the underling. I'm not a boss. Bill's Titans, you had the over 47 and a half. You would think we made the mistake. Bill's Titans.

Yeah. Sorry, yeah, the X is covering up the. Brown, Broncos minus two and a half. You got it. That was a win. Jets plus two and a half. No. Loss.

Ravens Bengals under 49 and a half. Loss. And then Dolphins Patriots under 36. That would be a win because the final score is 15 to 10. That's a good point. That's a good point. No big deal. So Macon is 13, 10, and 2.

Okay. Great. So he's, I mean, just a little accounting oversight here. Everybody's in it. Everybody is in it here, guys. 500 or above. I'm sorry, Cowboy.

I didn't mean to talk like that. No, my fault. I'm sorry that I fucked it up. It's my fault. It's my fault. It's my fault. We all know his fault it is. Great job.

Let's get into it. We pick 25 games. I'm sorry, guys. You only have 10 loss. That's impressive. We pick 25. I know I've been doing a pretty good job. And some of these losses have been close.

You're on fire, man. Very close. You're on fire. I'm cooked. Who's up first? I'm charbroiled. Oh. See long.

Well, you know where I'm going. If you had to guess where you think I'm going. I think you're on the lion. We just did the whole thing. I think I'm going. Let me open my computer. Oh, I'm going to go.

I mean, why wouldn't I go lions? You know what I'm saying? because I don't think the Jags are going to be there when I get there. You know, and so I'm going to take the Jaguars in London. Okay. You heard the stat about the rookie QBs going across the pond? I did indeed.

Oh, and five straight up or whatever it is. Yeah. Now, I know the favorites are all, but this is almost a pick-em. I don't think any of you all are taking my teams. I got some weird ones this week, except for this one. The whole world's going to be on the base. Whole world. I am.

Give me the Detroit Lions on the road, Dallas. Now I got a big opportunity on Friday preview show to Okie Doat each other here. I know. It kind of sucks. Steve's up with two picks. All right. I'm going to go Lions team total over. 27 and a half.

I like it, Steve. Like it a lot. You guys are like two peas in a pot over there. Next up, Steve. Eagles. Minus 9.5. There's some troubling trends about Jalen Hurst covering is a big favorite. I can't recite them because I don't always take notes.

That ends this week. God, I hope so. I hope so. Because if that, if that doesn't end, the city of Philadelphia might end. Yeah, what's the next event at the old bank? Huh? What is this? What is this?

taking the Phillies to task oh i forgot how much i hate Philadelphia oh are you serious it was i haven't been that happy seeing the Mets beat them and i don't know how long man i enjoy it enjoy it for the next week they did it wednesday night and i didn't have to fly all and like that game would be friday night i wouldn't be able to sleep it would be brutal but man it's all icing on the cake from now first time ever the playoffs and you take out them. I don't have to hear about the bank. Oh, cool. The Mets. Oh, we're like the fifth most

popular team in the whole city. Highest payroll. Hit him with highest payroll. Highest payroll. And we were the worst team in the MLB at one point. That's what my son told me. Who cares about baseball? They're still playing. Who's he rooting for nowadays? I got a Mets hat for him. I got to check and see what, what kind of futures he's got out.

All right. Amateur gamblers out there. look at the lowest total and you take the under look at the highest total you take the over also the ball was fucking fair Steve who knows how that game has stuff I'm not doing that this week I'm bucking

the trend Broncos are competent chargers are healthy I'm in a high chair chargers Broncos over please 35 and a half oh

Hey, listen to this, listen to this. 17, 17, the fourth quarter. Somebody's going to kick a field goal to win the game. That's pretty good. Okay. I'm not bad at this, obviously, but like what I am bad at, though, is like just picking my favorite one. You know what I mean? That's always been a thing that I struggle with.

Yeah, pick your favorite one. I'm just up here looking at 15 of these motherfuckers. Okay, I got the Jags. You took the lions off the board. You know, the Eagles are gone. I'm going to take the thirs. bro yeah i'm gonna take the thurs my brother at home six points at home andy dalton led thurs they got no pass rush the falcons don't have any pass rush

yeah like you never know give me thurs next up chris big dogs have been covering big cats have been covering too if you haven't noticed oh i'm up again you want to know you want to know what my third pick is my third pick Okay. Cardinals Packers under. Oh, all my list. The weather. The weather. And it's fading a big number. Everybody's like, you know, there's a reason they put that. Everybody probably thinks this is the 51 total game. You know? Yeah, no.

But with the weather, as you pointed out earlier and the fact that I think the Packers Pass rush might get going. I like it. It's a good pick. I'm going to go right back to Charlotte. at North Carolina. Okay. Give me the over in Falcons, Panthers. God, you are fucking, that's good. Thank you. That's good.

You guys are in each other's heads. I know. 47. I know. Those noggins. Yeah, we are. All right, Steve. I need another total and another pick.

I'm going all in on this Lions Cowboys game. Give me the over. Wow. Golly, dude. Nice. And two teams, I'm really wondering how different they are. the Cardinals and the commanders, I will take the touchdown with the commanders.

And Steve, I got it at six and a half. You want the Ravens? No, I want the commanders. You want to see how different they are from the Cardinals. Got it. No, no, how different they are from years past. Okay, got it, got it, got it, got it. Still, now I think it's...

Was that on me? No, because I'm more lost... We also might be like... Yeah, we're in sync. Yeah. We're, we're, we're, but basically you like the commies to cover. I do.

You know what? Who are, who are we to say? Bengals holder drops, doesn't drop to snap. The Ravens are two and three. No, you're right.

You're right. Okay. And if the other team score 30 points more game against the commanders, then the commanders might have a losing record. They're fucking good. Okay. All right. Yeah.

This, this is where drafts are worn. This quarterback thing in Indianapolis is about to get awkward. Give me the Titans and their fantasy football offense and their good defense coming off a buy at home minus two and a half. Thank you. Interesting to see how many points wins that game. Hey, another thing about Kurt Cousins, 13 and 18 straight up and 11 and 20 against the spread on. ended rest.

Mm-hmm. God doesn't like to rest. He's a worker man. His little flannel shirts. Mm-hmm. He wants to get right back to it. Thinking about the football game too much. Exactly.

You know? All right. Chris, you're up. You need a total and then your wild card. Okay. Total and a wild card. I've picked three sides? Yes, sir.

Oh, I have. Wow. This is the thing I get into doing every week. Okay, total and a wild card. Okay. give me the give me the Pats Texans under 38

and give me I don't want to root against the Broncos that's the problem give them out but I wouldn't bet the Broncos this week let me just tell you that you at home stay away the over is minus 150 yeah I'm going to take the over

20 and a half Titans team total thank you it's a little fucking makes you can go anywhere you want wild card. Matt, I've never done a team total. I don't believe. They're fun, dude. I'd take five if I could. Really? Yeah, I love them. I don't think I've ever lost the team total in real life. The team I want to take, they don't see here on this sheet. Oh, but then there's that Marshawn Ladamore isn't there? Why can I find the Bucks? I bet you the Bucks team total is like 23 or something.

can't find the bucks on the list guys 23 and a half wow I was right on it huh give me the Cleveland Browns you know what not saying they're going to win but I'll believe it when I see it us laying a dime

fuck that feels awful it's really it can and we're head to head it's icky bro I am go birds bro go birds bro go birds Steve you need a total finish it out.

I'm going to go Buck Saints under. Okay. Bucks Saints. Do you believe in Rattler? Steve? I actually went out early. Jay Canner and I've known him for a while. President State.

Yeah, Spencer came over when we were on the sidelines pregame. He looks really good. The problem is my man, Todd Bowles, against a rookie quarterback. Yeah. I think it's a tough one. He's going to feast.

I'll tell you what. what man i can't alvin camara in person i had no idea that he was quadzilla i mean my man is put together yeah he's put together yeah and uh that place was loud huh yeah yeah it gets up there yeah that surface is really really good too yeah it's really not bad have you ever been in there visiting locker room no it's it's the most it's the guy you got to do it's doing it's I have the worst-smelling porta-potties in the tunnel I've ever been in. Really? Oh.

And Taylor got dropped off right next to him. I'm like, wow, she's walking out of here fast. Really? Hey, pimps, where do you want your half points on half-point Friday? That's Studio J. Half-point Friday. Give me mine in Dallas, Matt. I'll get the lines down to two and a half, please.

Lions minus two and a half. I'm going to let those math scholars behind the scenes pick mine. You're going to move the commanders to plus six. Plus seven. Plus seven. I mean, six and a half plus a half is seven. It's like they're filming a beautiful mind back there or something.

You are correct. Okay, what would I rather do? Yeah. I swear I'm good at math. The auditions line is not long. I mean, you don't have a great one again, Chris. We need to hire like a Chinese production team. Their math scores are way higher over there.

And this is obviously the best our country can do. Probably want to go Panthers. Panthers six and a half. Panthers six and a half. Well, I can't decide Panthers six and a half or 38. Yeah. Either one. I'm going to go

Bring 27 to 11 in play as a win No, I'm going to go, I'm going to go, I'm going to go, I'm going to go 38 and a half. Okay. If the Panthers lose by 6, so be it. Okay. So be it. It'll be your first push of the year. He pushed them.

Stanford, Stanford, Stanford, Steve, electric slate this week, in amateur professional college football. You're in Eugene. Herbie will go to Red River. We have LSU Hostenet Night. What's your favorite game of the slate this week? Really interesting to see what Louisville does on the road. Yeah, in Charlottesville.

Yeah. Yeah, it's tough place to play. Penn State. Penn State's got a chance to go out west. There's a stat out there with the time zones. Teams in the Big Ten that have traveled, more than two time zones are one in eight. the only win is Indiana at UCLA.

I think Penn State travels well. I think that defense is real. I love the receivers and the improvements they made this year, and that's helped Aller in the new system. So I look at Penn State to go to USC and give them a dose. Love it. Chris, the state college runway wasn't long enough to get out to L.A. so that I'd drive to Pittsburgh. I heard.

James Franklin was complaining about the 90-minute bus ride. What is this the third world? Like, hey, man, come to Virginia. You know, we only stay out of hotels that are 90 minutes away. Exactly. We're used to the bus rides, bro. Yeah. But, no, you know, hips.

Hips could be tight. No, I can't shorten your hip flexors. You don't want to be sitting too much. You understand, Steve? Especially James Franklin, you know, he's running on game day. I think he's probably a run out of the tunnel guy with the team, you know. Steve is. Our high chairs for your hip flexors.

Not great. But my leg fell asleep on the love. Hey, who got you that chair? This one? Who gave you that chair? The cowboy. Yeah, fucking Reed. Yeah, fucking Reed.

Hey, Steve. Bill Jackson. Is, uh... I'm gonna get Reed to cut your tires and, like, kill you. Please look up the chair of Phil Jackson's sad. I know, I know. I know. I know.

The Phil Jackson chair? Yeah. Hey, can I get an electric question off? I was going to say, can you get an electric chair? I thought that was going to ask for. Yeah. Yeah, let's do it. Can I get a lethal injection of some gambling analysis here, Steve?

Yeah. 14 and a half points. Is that too many for Texas against Oklahoma? 14 and a half. I believe so. Okay. Oklahoma's been a disaster on offense. Texas has been the most oppressive team I've seen in person.

Oklahoma killed him with quarterback run last year. That's what Hawkins does well. But Texas defense is better this year in space. in tackling athleticism. I think Texas shows out this one. Hey, give me a really dumb two-leg money line parlay this weekend to try to load up before Sunday, two college football teams that I can, like, be dumb about

and parlay them with each other. They're not going to lose. I don't care how risky it is. They're both road favorites. That sucks. Who? Yeah. Penn State, Ohio State.

Okay. All right. Hey, hey, will Colorado get K State at home? I'm really interested in that game because knowing what that league has become, if Colorado wins this game, they're in it, man. They're in the mix. Now, Kansas State prides itself on, you know, being a physical team, the one physical team that Colorado's play is Nebraska,

but that was on the road. Boulder will be a zoo for Kansas State coming in. They're not great offensively, but I, I, I, want to see how buttoned up Kansas State is. They got, they had so many unforced errors that turned into cataclysmic mistakes and their loss at BYU. But, I mean, you watch it Shador every week. The guy plays unbelievable amongst chaos.

You know, it's documented how bad the offensive line is, but he still gets the job done. And their receivers are legit, man. So if Colorado, it's a lot who dictates, who dictates, you know, the pace of play and all that. I think Colorado is a scary team at home, catching points. Is Shador good enough to be the number one overall pick in the NFL draft? I believe so.

He's my top quarterback. I think I might be on that train. People don't talk about his accuracy and his arm strength enough. Like, there's going to be comparisons of what Caleb did last year at USC, and then you see what he's done. Like, that's what this is going to turn into of the comparison thing. Yeah. But Chador is, I can't, he's just fearless in the, in the pocket. His, like, go back and look at the Hail Mary.

There's your fungo bat. He holds onto it. That's right. What? No, he made a thing earlier. We were talking about Drake May. I was like, we shouldn't start him. He's like, what about if you think about it like the swinging the fungo bat.

Yeah. Or not the fungo bat. You put the donut on the bat and you make it harder. Maybe that's the thought process. Like, it's going to feel like shit when you're getting hit every play all year. but eventually things will become easier. Shador's had to deal with bad protection. That might be a thing that eventually, if you come out of that, unscathed,

like it actually makes you better. Steve, on your way out the door, give us a Cawkeland Award Watch. We don't really know what the award means anymore, and we only do it every other week, but just really name a player in college football, and you will have fulfilled your obligation here. Name a player in college football. That's a good one.

Have you ever been asked that before? No. Tyler Warren, Penn State Tide Ends, Ben Wildcat, a bunch. Love that. Coughlin Award winner, Tyler Warren. 44, good number. All right, Steve. Who do you think would be a bit?

No, never mind, go ahead. Steve needs to go. We're saying bye. Take care, Steve. Love you, Steve. Did you get the helmet? Not yet. Oh, not yet, dude.

Did they win last night? They had the helmet on last night, dude. Steve has gotten up from his chair. He's gotten up. He's got... Dog, I cannot wait to see that thing. I cannot wait to see that thing. The boys at Western Kentucky sent me a helmet.

I cannot wait to see that thing. Oh, did they send me a towel too? They sent me a towel too. Well, those are things Steve has. No, I know, but like maybe Steve got me the same treatment. Maybe. I was a Rams fan from back in the day, I suppose. Yeah.

Steve, you like that ULM pick last week? Sorry, fellas. You like that ULM pick? Good job. No daughter. Later, Steve. Love you. Take care.

All right. Go host.
