And Stanford Steve gives a pep talk. You all enjoy. Stay tuned for tomorrow's Friday freak show. Welcome to the show. Thank you, Steve. Week 11, college football, Chris is at the tipping point. Oh, yeah, I'm there. We are here.

Oh, I'm there. We did call the Cavs cover last week. Yeah. Anyone in attendance. Yeah, they did cover, but who cares? Because they lost. Yeah. Basketball season, right, Makin?

That's right. One and all? It would beat Central Carolina or some shit. 18th ranked Hoos are unbeaten. Didn't send me a winner there or anything. North Carolina Central. I don't think they came close to covering. Did they not cover?

No. Damn. Well, you should have warned me then. What's the next game? Monmouth, Friday night. We cover it? I don't know what the number is, but yeah, probably. I'm still waiting on an NBA winner from somebody in here.

Matt, do you send me something for tonight? Because Chase Long. I know I have the first pick, right? I have the first pick in our picks. Do you know why you do? Yeah, because I'm last. Send your Chris my home. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who's the defending champ? You get the first pick on your show. Who's the defending champ? Oh, yeah. I want to die, dude. I'm flying to Vegas tomorrow. The plane could crash. The plane could crash.

We would, you know. There's hope. I flew with the who's for about 13 years my buddy Dave and I every time we would take off, we said this bird might go down. Okay. And then we cross our fingers. Okay. Probably a little morbid.

Well, yeah, it's dark. Come on. But it's like, you know, you're jinxing it. Steve, this sucks. Objectively, this fucking sucks. Okay. I got nothing. What does? I got nothing. This whole thing, this whole podcast and thing. I got nothing today. Steve. I haven't had time to do shit.

Do I know what sucks? What? My attitude. Yes. But. But also. too. Have you been around town lately? I don't know if it's the same way in Charlottesville it is around here, but we're just bypassing Thanksgiving. All the Christmas stuff is up. What the hell is up with that?

We're just foregoing one of the best holidays, if not the best holiday. The best holiday. Come on. Yeah, it's stupid. Christmas. What? Got a, Christmas is a hurt feelings festival. Oh, you didn't send me a Christmas card. Oh, you didn't give me a gift. I got to worry about my friends' kids

that are now like 17. Do I send them a gift or not? Fucking go, go get a job, buy a gift for yourself. I go to Costco. I got a full car. I got to go around all this garland in the alleyways. If there's ever a place that was made for Thanksgiving and celebrating Thanksgiving, you have taste test places all over Costco with all the fixings for Turkey. All the fixings.

Nothing. I like how you do anything. I got to go through fake trees and garland and all this other wreaths and stuff like that. Where's Thanksgiving? Where is it? I like how he's dropping that last G off. Thanksgiving. I like that a lot. Thanksgiving. But I think one thing,

a counterpoint might be that Thanksgiving is not a Hallmark holiday and that's why we like it so much and it can just be low key and chill and yeah, it is number one on the board, but it is because of people jumping out of the gym for Halloween and Christmas.

It knows who it is. It doesn't need to scream at you from the halls of Costco, is my opinion. Yeah, also people aren't buying a bunch of cornucopia props. Like they're objectively Thanksgiving best holiday worst props pilgrims, Native Americans

like we don't have to go out and buy a pumpkin or a manger scene just show up on the Thursday you get sort of drunk that's the worst part you get older you're like start to spirit making it should be a pilgrim next year for Halloween definitely would fit far away yeah fit the bill

perfect I don't I think we're going to leave the other character out of the the uh the pageantry. The tab bit problematic 2022. You know,

when you really dig into that whole origin story to the holiday. Problematic back then, too. But I don't give a fuck with, let's ditch all the, you know, the props, the pageantry, it's still,

it stands on its own. You can't do that with Christmas. People will be bored as fuck sitting at home being like, oh, Jesus was born. Right. You know, no,

you need all the presents. You need all the wreaths. The music. Yeah. And happy, Happy birthday, Jesus. Serious question. Who is Santa Claus?

Chris Kringle. But how is he related to God and Jesus? He's not. It's a corporate holiday. He's the St. Nicholas. It's a corporate holiday. Is St. Nicholas real? It's a corporate holiday.

Ruted in Germany. Okay. And St. Nicholas was a real fake, but real. Okay. Got it. Anyway, Thanksgiving stands on its own. Be thankful. There we go.

You know what I mean? Just be thankful. Yeah. And I'll get there, but it's, we're not there yet. You know, we got a couple of years. By the way, by the way, Kelly Clarkson has a great Christmas album. Hmm. But I don't listen to it until after Thanksgiving.

No, it's good. Yeah. Yeah. Kelly Clarkson. I can't believe that fucking guy. I mean, I got nothing against him, but I can't believe it. I can't believe it got brought up. Nobody else would know.

Like, I'm like, how did you know that? Okay, I'm going to give out one pick to start the show. Wow. There we go. I'm giving out the minimum. Sure. I'm giving out the Minnesota Vikings. Wow.

Yeah. And I'm going to... Plus how many? Plus how many? Three and a half right now, but I got it at six early in the week. Because Josh Allen's not going to play. Okay. The line says it.

The total says it. The fucking what you're hearing out of Buffalo says it. I mean, like day to day, please. Rest the guy. You might be able to, unfortunately. Win the game. Win the game because I just had to. soon as I kind of caught wind that he wasn't playing or there there was a chance that he wasn't

playing when I say hammered the Vikings like burn the ships you know how they say that it's very fitting and I will be in Vegas I will be in Sin City for this Chris and I hung out in real life on Saturday that might be why I'm in such a good mood this week this past weekend yeah it was nice we watched games together we watched games we told stories yeah any of the stories yeah do you remember at the end of the night making? Yeah. Because he had to leave and go home. Actually, Steve, I wasn't under the influence. So yeah.

I was sober Sammy and had a great time. It can be done, folks. Yeah, but are you as fun? You degenerates? I actually was a ball of fun. You had a good time. I was working on my out-loud laugh. It was a good time all around. I was.

Yeah. I know. I've been noticing lately. I have been getting a lot more fake laughs in here. Thanks, guys. Well, no, no, no, no, no. The laugh, the out loud laugh might be manufactured, but underneath it's a real laugh. It would just be breathing. Yeah, yeah.

It would be the... That's good. Okay. Do you have ambitious hiring goals for the last quarter of 2022? With a powerful hiring partner, big goals are no big deal. You need Indeed. Indeed is the hiring platform where you can attract, interview, and hire all in one place.

Need to hire. You need Indeed. Oh, TCU. Awesome. Cool. They play Texas. That's cool. Sunny Dykes.

That's about all I got for you. Daryl. K. Royal. Let's just name some guys. Cool. Nope. We did that last week. Sam Ellinger. Sorry, we did that podcast last week. Let's see. Ladeney and Tomlinson. There you go.

So Texas favored by seven. Yeah, got a great stat for you. Want a great stat? Yes. Since 1980, this is the 12th time. A top four team in the AP has been a seven point underdog in November. Those previous 11 teams are two and nine. Ooh.

On the field. those two wins, two iconic games. Notre Dame beat Florida State in 1993, and the kick six game, Auburn beats Alabama. So those are your two instances. Everything in the world is telling you to take Texas. I'm not there yet. I get it.

Their run game is phenomenal. You know, Bijan and Rocheon, the running backs. I do feel like that run game opens up things for yours, who I feel like is falling off the map a little bit. but that's to do with Texas and losing games. But I do think he has a chance to make a big day. But I'm not going to doubt that TCU offense, man. Duggan has been awesome.

The script for both these teams is fascinating because Texas jumps out to Leeds and loses them, and TCU loves to fall behind and come back. So something's got to give in order for somebody to win this game. But it'll be a great game. I mean, that place will be jazzed up for sure. It's crazy how it's flipped. You know, the big brand.

of Texas, but then TCU is the one coming in undefeated with the number four next to their name. So really, really fun matchup. It'll be a really good game. Steve, how about Texas' first half, considering what you just said? I've heard that. I've heard that energy in the building. I like that. Probably you're going to be given four and a half, five probably.

Okay. I bet. I can get down with that. Okay. Okay. We've given the Big 12 enough fucking attention. Let's move on to another game. I am curious.

I am curious. No offense. It's not my day, guys. If you live in the, you know, I don't even know where you guys live anymore in the Big 12. Fucking, you live in Oklahoma or something. West Virginia. Yeah.

When, uh, when you picture a game at, at Texas, don't you picture sunlight? I don't, I don't, I don't picture a night game. No,

you know, that's interesting. I wonder how Texas does at night at home. That's interesting. We'll get on that. We played there, I think 11 a.m. local and got beat 6917. Oh, that was fun.

Nice. 6917. Nice. Yeah. Okay. No, no, no. That's a lot of points. Yeah.

You weren't playing a defense. Yep. And then that was Chris Sims coming out party. And Mac, you know, Major Applewhite was the guy. And then Chris Sims came in in the fourth quarter and Mac Brown kept throwing the ball. So it was fun to be on the other side? Whose fault was it that that game?

Wasn't your fault, but whose fault was it? Can you think that far back? Whose fault was it? Yeah, on the field. Players. Players, but didn't show up. 69 points. That's a lot.

Yeah. It was good though. You passed the test. You didn't turn on your brother. He only scored 17. Okay. All right. Next game.

Alabama, Ole Miss. Bama laying 12 points. Okay. A lot going on here, all right? Because I am not in this camp of LSU has a cakewalk to Atlanta for SEC title. game. They have two real tricky, weird games coming up in games that are going to be favored at Arkansas and at A&M. If they win Saturday, they're going to Atlanta. I'm not sure they're

going to. That game and that line reeks. Why is LSU only given three to a team that just lost to Liberty on their home field? That just screams, stay the heck away from this game. But connecting this to the Alabama game, This game, the LSU Arkansas game is at noon eastern. Alabama is at 3.30. Alabama is going to know if LSU won or not. And if LSU were to lose the game, I would jump on Alabama in this circumstance. They're giving double digits.

I get it. You don't want to give double digits on the road. When you look at the matchup, Alabama on the road, their defense in three games, has given up 187 yards on the ground to, Arkansas, 182 to Tennessee and 185 to LSU last week in a game where LSU average over five yards of carry. Ole Miss loves to run the ball. Quintoshan Junkins leads freshman in all running categories across the country.

I know people are going to talk about Alabama's offense. I think they're going to score at will. I think the Alabama defense gets more stops, and I would be willing to take Alabama if LSU were to lose earlier Saturday. I would say hold off and wait on that one. I do expect Sabin back against the wall a big effort out of the tide here. But they're out of the CFP race, yeah? There's no getting back in for the first time and I think there's a path.

I do. I do. It's Alabama. Okay. Okay. If you're Lane Kiffin and you can coach Ole Miss or Auburn next year, who you're coaching? Ooh, probably Ole Miss. No offense.

Who wants to live in Auburn, Alabama? You got a Toyota factory there. Looks pretty flat. I don't know. Plains. Yeah, right? My answer is also Ole Miss. Yeah, it's Ole Miss.

Yeah. I'm saying, you already got it cranking a little bit. Got a cranking. Not too much pressure either. I feel like when you got to roll in an old miss, you're just like, hey. Auburn, you don't even know who you're answering to down there. Yeah, right?

They got an army of people that have a say down there, and that's, that gets complicated, as we've seen. Yeah. This Texas 69, Stanford, 17 game. It was whose fault was it? It was 48 to 10 at half time. It was. What was the line in that game?

Texas wasn't giving a lot because they lost the week before to NC State. Uh-oh, Steve, were you doing some gambling back in your college days, my friend? No, I'm just going off of consideration because that was the old adage of they had a game under their belt and I, I mean, it still sticks in my head that a team playing in week two that has a game the week before is set up for success as opposed to a team playing their first game.

They couldn't have not to look worse. I think they fumbled three punts against NC State and NC State won at Texas. Sounds like we're on Arkansas. I think that's the only side to play. I really do. It's up to three and a half now in some places. So the problem is KJ. Jefferson,

you don't know, it doesn't look like he's been healthy for the last couple weeks and you need him to go because I would think LSU's defense is going to be banged up after a physical game overtime against Alabama. So can Arkansas put some points up to put the pressure on LSU's offense? That's what it comes down to for me. But I mean, knowing you making and the lines that you like and the teams and the situations and the numbers, I can see you on Arkansas, but I don't know how the tennis has been going this week. Very well, my good friend, very well.

Now, we're still in a deep, deep, deep hole, but we're close. climbing out of it. Doubles or are we back to singles? Both, but mostly single. Shout out my guy Nicholas Kicker yesterday. He's a tennis player and came back from a set down to prevent us from throwing our phone a long, long way. It was it was dicey.

Okay. Let's take it out to the Conference of Champions, Washington, Oregon, Oregon, a bunch of points. at home, 13 and a half. Total 702.5. Washington went away for a few weeks there. Yeah, their true colors, I think, have showed up on defense. They don't have much resistance. And the first road game they played was at UCLA,

and that secondary got really exposed. I love the matchup for Oregon here. And when Oregon has been favored against Washington, they have done really, really well. And that offense is humming right now. Bo Nix has been phenomenal. plenty of toys to play with on that offense. The offensive line is legit,

and that defense has way more playmakers than Washington's defense. So I look at Oregon to win comfortably and not have any issues as they ramp up for Utah coming to town next week. You have these SEC teams out of the top four. Who's got the easiest route to get in there? Tennessee, LSU, Alabama. It's tough, man. Fleeke and I were talking this week on our pilot.

He bought Tennessee to make the playoff. I think it's around minus 220, 220, 240, wherever you're looking. And I just couldn't get there because they don't control, you know, what's their path. And look at Oregon, you look closely. I do see a path for Oregon. But Tennessee, you know, three games left against division opponents that are bad. I think it's Vandy.

I think it's Missouri. I think it's South Carolina. Now, one thing I think you're going to see is Tennessee put ample amount of points on the board to try and stay. relevant in that conversation. But that's a scary deal, man, waiting for teams like TCU hasn't lost and you're waiting for them to lose. Who knows what's going to happen to the loser of Michigan, Ohio State.

That could play into something. And then you have those teams in the Pack 12. So they are going to have bigger games to play where Tennessee has hit their climax of their schedule. So it is, it's a tough deal. I get it. Their resume stands alone with wins over LSU and Alabama. But that's a scary thought, man, laying that.

laying that price and not being in control of your path to a possible playoff. So I guess it would be Tennessee. The committee better not hope LSU wins the SEC or else they got a huge, huge problem on their hands. So I guess I would lean towards Tennessee there. Can the loser of Ohio State Michigan playing the playoff? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, if you get a close game, I think the problem with the resumes, is Ohio State, what is theirs? You know, a win at Penn State doesn't really do well. A win against Notre Dame. I think they would really need Notre Dame to run the table from here knowing Notre Dame has a game at USC to end the season, which could have a huge amount of situation on the line

for multiple teams across the country. But, yeah, because other teams could lose and multiple teams could lose. So they do have a chance. The problem is Michigan's resume. If they were a team to lose, their resume, that out of conference is just brutal, you know, the likes of Hawaii.

What about Hawaii? Yeah, they beat up on Hawaii pretty good. Yeah, and Yukon and somebody else that's not great. But we're not in on Yukon. It's like five and five, really. Jim Moro. You can't sell that win on, you know, as a quality win. You're right.

Or a win against the ranked opponent. Hey, Tulane. Love them. Let's say they fuck around and, did you hear about what they're doing down there? How they're expanding? Yeah, I did. Yep.

You guys are going to try with that one every week? No, they really are. They're, they're, uh, we can try with that one every week. That was good. That was good. He listened to the pod, thanks. That was good.

Yeah. One of these days. What if too long, if two longs down there? What if two lay? wins out. Do you think they might expand then? Probably. Yeah, if they win out, what happens?

And the playoff might expand. No, what happens? Is there any way on God's Green Earth that Tulane gets in the playoff? How many things would have to happen? I'm sorry? More than 10? More than 10 things. Okay.

Then I don't care about that game. I don't care about that game. I got a couple of great nuggets on Tulane though. Okay, hit hit us. They are ranked 17th against ranked 22 UCF. They, Tulane has lost 60 straight games versus AP ranked opponents. It's the longest active streak in college football. This is the first time they're a favorite versus a ranked team in 69 games.

Wow. Nice. Wow, dude. So what you're saying is they're going to win. I think so. I'm in on, I'm in on Tulane. They're due laying a point in a half. Love the head coach at home. Willie Fritz, done a great job.

I've been looking at them in the last month, like knowing they have, they got, you know, games against probably the top teams from the American left. It's UCF this week, and then it's SMU, and then it's Cincinnati. So, like, you know, you talk about building a program. It was just about getting to this point, and now they're here. What do you do with that opportunity? And it's just great to see different teams, different teams, you know, have this opportunity. Because that's what it's about.

You know, everybody's going to focus on the playoff, but there's plenty of good stories. around the sport, and that's what gets lost in the luster of the playoff, is all these teams having great seasons like the Green Wave. Phenomenal uniforms. Can't wait to see what they come out in Saturday against UCF. But, I mean, a trustful defense date, they only give up about 100 or 300. I think it's, where is it?

307 yards per game at 16th in FBS, and they give up 17 points a game, which is 11th in the FBS. So they got a defense. Michael Prath, quarterback's only thrown one pick since their bad loss against Southern Miss. so you got a good defense, you got a quarterback that doesn't turn it over, good run game. I like their chances Saturday against UCF. Is Willie Fritz a coach somewhere big soon?

No offense to Tulane. No, it's a good question. Yes, he's done well wherever he's gone. I think this is taking a little bit longer, but when you look back and look what these schools got to deal with with, you know, the last couple years and COVID and transfers, I think he's got some stability in the program. He's, you know, real trustworthy guy. I could see him getting a better look as it feels like we've got a coach fired in a conference every week since the season started. So, yeah, I would definitely keep my eyes on Willie Fritz.

62. You know what that reminds me of? Wake hiring a Jim Grobe. Yeah. You know, age is just a number. Hire a good football coach. Yeah. Works out.

Agreed. Don't try to hire the next guy who's going to be there 25 years. Not going to be there 25 years. I agree. I agree. Didn't make a not like Tony. Bennett's higher because he was too young. Yeah.

Check the tape on that one. Freezing cold tape by me. Really? Yeah. You didn't like the Tony Bennett hire? No, he's fucking with you. No,

he's not. I'm not. I heard the tape on that one. You did? Yeah. Where is that tape? The local Charlottesville. Yeah.

Yeah. I think he was age as fuck. The other way around. Well, no, you're an age as fuck. I think ages. I can go. Yeah.

It can go both ways. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm not going to forget this week. The Cochlin Award. Oh, there's only one guy. We have a new precedent for the award. Did not have one catch last week. But boy, was he heard from. Georgia tight end, Darnell, Washington. Oh, I love him. It was just a game wrecker against Tennessee. I mean, knocking dudes on their butts on screens. I love this. Chip in, chipping like a game. a dude that Chris Long would be so scared to rush against.

Exactly. Like, he just lined up. He's a presence. I mean, I think Danielson called him a tackle when he wants to be a tackle and a wide receiver when he wants to be a wide receiver. I think I was checking his latest measurement, 6-7-270. Take with that what you want. But that is a man wearing a zero.

I'm not a fan of the number zero. I am now because the way how good Washington makes. that look. I thought he was sensational in the game against Tennessee and made his presence known. So darn out Washington, Calkland Award. There's another about 67 270 wearing a zero.

That was Jolani Woods. Yeah, I was like, this is Jolani Woods. Jolani wasn't 270. No way. I don't know. Jolani Woods was a big guy. Sevently. Yeah. I mean, but Jolani Woods showing up big on that shitty

team is probably a good sign for you know, it's nice to have a guy who's got a similar build last year get drafted and look pretty good. Did he get drafted or was he? Yeah, drafted in the late round. This guy, I mean, he's probably a viable option for some team. And I don't know what round, Steve, what round you think this guy goes? Who, darnel? Yeah, when he's a, when he's a pro.

Oh, he's going to be a top two, three rounder. Top two, three rounds. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This guy could see this guy being the type of freak show. that NFL teams are going to line up to get a... I honestly, his size and speed and athleticism, man, like, and the weight, like, he's one of one when you watch him.

Wow. Yeah, he's a beast. What about... Different kind of guy. You're a GM. You're taking him over Brock Bowers? Depends on the situation, I'm in. You want somebody that stretches the field,

or you want to set the edge and keep a guy on the field, you know, every snap? He's going to be huge in the run game. And it depends on your preference. It really does. But he brings a lot to the table, man, when you look at that size. That's a grown man. Okay. Yeah.

Timmy Chang Award. Timmy Chang Award is going to go to Holy Cross Head coach Bob Chesney. The Crusaders are 9 and 0. Started the season with a win over Mack team Buffalo. We have ripped through the Ivy League on their schedule. I look for them to do some damage into playoffs. Holy Cross, 9-0, two games left against Bryant and Georgetown. I see them finishing undefeated.

Watch out for the Crusaders in the FCS playoffs. Coach, Bob Chesney, Timmy Chang, an award winner. Did you ever go to Worcester when you were with the Patriots? No, fuck no. Here's what I did when I was with the Patriots. You ever go to Waltham? Nope, nope. I went to the facility and home.

And occasionally I went to the airport, which is in Boston, which is an hour away. Sometimes with traffic, it was two hours away. Didn't you live close? I lived right behind Patriots Place. Did you really? Oh, yeah. Did you ever go car shopping at all those car dealership? Business trip.

Business trip. A lot of those cats live in Providence, yeah? That's cool. You want to sit 40 minutes in the car, you know? Not good for your hips. Not good. Shortens the hips, the hip flexes. Yeah, and I was going to need those because we squatted 700 pounds every day.

in New England. Shout out to Moses. Okay. So anyway, hey Moses, my back hurts from the two-hour commute into work.

I had 30 squats anyways. You and Nick on the squat rack? Oh, just complaining about lifting. Yep. Pretty much. Yeah. Okay.

I'm not talking about the first week in October. I'm not even talking about the second week in October. I'm talking about when it gets colder, the temperature drops,

Guy's last name is Saturday. Irrelevant, though. If he does terribly, it's fine. That's mission accomplished. And if he does well, awesome. You're the new head code. at the Indianapolis Colts. People will have a fucking,

if he becomes the next head coach next year, because think about it, they're not going to win more than three games the rest of the year, like the ceiling for them is. That's like three and five. Is that good, is that enough?

If he goes three and five and they make him the head coach, people will riot. Yeah. Because this is a hot button topic right now. Coach is not waiting their fucking turn. And I loved, I know this has been,

Preface everybody has preface like we love Jeff Saturday. He is the fucking best. But like even Jeff Saturday would have to admit kind of cut the line a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Cut the line a little bit. So if he goes two and six, three and five and Jim Mersey's like, you know what? He's just got it. You know, he's got the it factor. I think I think like it's going to be biblical. Four and four, Urse is in a pickle. Ors says in a big pickle because the point is like they, they, want to lose. I know that's probably controversial, but they want to lose. You know what I'm saying? Which is why our guy Jeff is sleeping

well. He's sleeping well. He's like, can I say something about Jeff Saturday? Yeah, sure. I love Jeff Saturday. He was my host at North Carolina. I think the world of the guy. My biggest question about Jeff Saturday is I'm dying to see what he's going to wear. Me too. I've only

seen him in a uniform and in a suit at work. That's the only two things I've ever seen the man in. I would imagine if he just came in like full wind suit. That would be phenomenal. Yeah. I mean, I think I've seen him in a Q-Zip. I don't know if he's, I think he's more of a college golf shirt guy.

I'm telling you, he's a Q-Zip guy, dude, through and through. You want to take bets on that? What he's going to wear Sunday? What? In Vegas, yeah? In Vegas? So he's inside. It might be a collared shirt guy in Vegas.

He's a sweater. I think the Q-Zips a bad move. You think Q Zips is a bad move? Steve, if you're a coach, what are you wearing? Oh, man. Hoodie. Yeah, hoodie. Fuck yeah.

He's going to, yeah. I mean, technically it's a QZip, but it's got like a windbreaker feel to it. He's going to layer up. He was a hoodie guy when he coached high school ball. Okay. Yeah, I think hoodie. Yeah.

And, hey, guys, this is one of those topics. We love Jeff Saturday. Love, love, love Jeff Saturday. More like, more like, Jeff Sunday. I love my dad. It's one I'll be coaching. If my dad became president, I'd be like, fuck, man.

I don't know. A lot of other people working a long time to become president. I'm just not sure. You know, he's a great man. He's a great leader, my dad. But I don't know if he'd make a great president. I think that's what Don Jr. said, too. Are you sure about this, dad?

Yeah. No, he didn't say that. He's like, yeah, do it. That'll go well. All right. Fucking, fuck it. Let's give out the locks then.

You know, I already gave out the, the Vikings. Yeah. And I'll tell you if I'm going to buy my half point after we get through the, mm-hmm. Go ahead.

I'm up next because I'm in second. Steve, you're alone and first. Congratulations. Oh, don't worry. When he's, oh,

way to bury the lead. All right, all right, all right, all right. All right. All right. So fuck it.

You know, I won't try to play point guard anymore. I try to let the people know what's going on with the standings, but I can't win for losing. I'll just let Cowboys say it next or I won't say it at all. How about you do a little prep and get the standings going? And then you could lead the segment and give Chris a break. Because then Chris gets upset because he's in last.

Yes, it's been a bad year, Steve. It's a lose, lose. Who hasn't had one, Chris? Situation. Trying to give responsibilities to people, but they just don't want to take him. Well, thanks, Steve. What are we in week? 10?

Wait, 10, and he still doesn't get the hint. He should lead the segment. Lead the segment, Mike. All I hear about is how he wants his name on the podcast. No, he's dominating me. We need to go to half and have some fucking oranges here. Because we're one in four on Thursday night time machine. Who the fuck cares?

I care. Yeah, I do. I do. I do, too, because I got to go to the Waffle House. God damn. Can't pick anything correctly Thursday night. Get in here. Oh, Chris, don't forget your locks.

Oh, this is the fifth show of the week. we're doing 47 things on the freak show. Oh, don't forget to pick three games like an intelligent human being. You got seven minutes to do it. Good luck. The guy in Saw, you know, Saw the movie Saw. Or he's like, I want to play a game. I want to play 17 games.

One of the games, if you lose it, you've got to go to the Waffle House. The other one, you just got to be embarrassed as fuck. Because the guy outpicking you as a real estate agent. Who knows ball Okay But god damn it I hate this shit Go ahead next

All right I'm taking the Pittsburgh Steelers Yeah You're at home No Plus one nice finally Really? Saints is it Saints steal Yeah the Saints at home

Yeah Terrell Austin says Tj Watt will play some Oh that's big Maybe not a bunch but he will play Yeah Can you pick it And the fellas are trying hard Yeah

George Pickens probably going to show out without Claypool. Coming off a buy, it feels like, because everybody was on a buy, I think. And the Saints looked like a down bad team. Hideous. The other night. That was, that was crappy. Idiotious. So, yeah, Tomlin against Dennis Allen.

I'll take Tomlin. Steelers plus one, my first lock. Steve, White Steve, your turn. Hmm. I'm going to take Cleveland. three and a half See doesn't feel good does it No it doesn't not when you're down

That's the right side Steve good pick Fuck you I have the dolphins Do a bunch of great Take them Tough guy I'm not taking the fucking dolphins

Dude fuck the dolphins Why not Because then I got to root for the dolphins You think I want to root for the goddamn dolphins Their fans are psychotic Huh Fuck the dolphins You're

you're on that list. Play defense. Your offense is awesome. Play some fucking defense. Every time I bet the Dolph- They have your favorite defensive player on their team now. Every time I bet the Dolphins, live bet the Dolphins. They're playing the Jets.

The offense is so good. Skyler Thompson can fucking run it. Nah. You beat by the Jets 40 to 17. Oh, let's bet the over. The Steelers are ass. Nah, we're gonna, we're gonna, two is going to be great for a quarter and a half.

And then we're gonna sit there with a thumb up our ass for three and a half, whatever, any quarters. Jason Sanders looked really good in that game. That was the dumbest shit ever. Just because every game has a line next to it, doesn't mean you have to take it, Chris. Oh, yeah, make it with his finger up.

I said it last week. He's such a fault. He's said it last week. I'll say it again this week. He's at home. He's betting more than me. He bets more than me. All day long.

All day long. It's not your fault. All day long. Yeah, you're right. It's Mike McDaniel's fault. Keep the foot on the gas pedal, Mike. I'm in this hole because on Sunday. Sunday night football.

I bet the dolphins over. God damn, dude. They look like the fucking... I don't even know who they look like. There's no cop. The Rams. They look like the greatest show on turf. And then they just fucking dry up.

Like the other rams. You think I want to take the dolphins. Cleveland Browns. Great. I hope the Browns get run out of the gym. Is it my pick? Oh, who cares? I'm out of picks.

San Francisco. go. It's a lot of points. Don't care. Wait. Seven points. They're going to win. They're going to win by seven points. It's going to push. I'll take the 9. Just so you know that also too, that is

this. I haven't. I don't have a so maybe I need a half point. Another Chris on Sunday night. Sunday night and Thursday night are made for Chris. Oh, don't bet prime time games. That's what I wrote down on my notes the other night. You just did. Well, but I'm not. There's no real money involved in this thing. This is just something I act like I care about. Okay.

Doing a good job. Get back to me after this weekend while you're in Vegas not betting primetime game. I won't. Let me know how that goes. Let me doing the podcast during the prime time game. Got it. Okay. All right. All right. Hey, I don't, this is a hold your nose one. All right? Yeah. Jacksonville Jaguars plus nine and a half points in Kansas City. I think it's a good play. It feels like the right side. As Steve said, you can stay away from it. But, you know, they might be decent that Jacksonville and might have gotten off the mat last week. Give me Jags in, uh, on that Kansas, Missouri

state line. Speaking of primetime games, you know how many games the chiefs have played at one o'clock Eastern this year? Um, I'll say zero. One. I was going to say one. I was going to say one. I was going to say one. How they play Steve? You know what their record is at 1 o'clock this year? Oh and 1. The host of the Colts, 20 or 17.

Bingo. 5 point favorites. Somebody's doing their homework. 5 and a half. Lines move. Yeah, I know. Yeah. All right.

So am I up? Nope, it's Steve. All right. Go ahead, Steve. Tanna Hill's back, right? He's going to play. I think so. Why are they only given two and a half?

Give me to Broncos. Isn't that weird? It's so weird. You know, but we keep doing this. Oh, the line. Stinks. Let's hop on the right side of this thing. You guys just might not know this year. Cardinals. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Cajuns.

Comys. Did you take the stinky part of that line or the not stinky part? Broncos. Okay. All right. Okay. Fuck it. The Packers. Who cares? Yeah, I get the Packers. Oh, the Packers. Yeah. I can't wait. Are you worried at all about how they play really badly? No. No, because the line's only five.

They're playing the mighty cowboys, and they're at home, and something's going to happen. If you just keep betting the Packers, one of these weeks, the real Aaron Rogers will show up. Toray. Toray runs around out there. That's what Aaron likes. Here's the thing. If they just don't run fucking, you know, the, the, the Detroit, the Pontiac special last week, throwing back to a fucking guy who just came off an ACL and O Lyman. or he doesn't you know ping that thing off a pile of guys' helmets

you're right in the red zone they're going to be they're going to be sitting pretty winning that game they'd be four and five the line's probably three you're right yeah good value you're right now there are a lot do you see these red cues next to all these I don't give a fuck making

my bad I got another podcast to get ready for so the sooner we can get through this podcast to the next one that would be swell Houston Texans plus six and a half points. Oh, cool. Six and a half. Six and a half?

Yeah, where my left foot? Has it dropped? That was Wednesday. Let me look. Oh, yeah. Well, I went to the Vikings at six. Come on, Macon. Where I got them for a fucking...

Holy, what the hell is happening to that number? I got him for a saban. Oh, time out here. Stop trying to get fake numbers. Dog, in my, in my pool, the thing I care about most in this life. Do you think the lions? Do you think the Lions win last week is affecting the line in that Bears game?

In the Bears game? Yeah. What is that? Two and a half? They're playing each other. Two and a half. No, I think the bear is playing well against Miami. Your dolphins last week has more of an effect.

Yeah, they outscored the dolphins, except for on special teams. Hey, I need to think about this Houston now because it's not six and a half, it's four and a half. that's a big difference. We'll start thinking faster. Let me think about this for a second. Yeah, because, you know. Chris has all day. I don't like this.

Yeah, I definitely do. I got to do an Amazon AMP after that show. Here are the other places I would go. Tampa, don't feel great about that. Fucking pack mule. Arizona, don't feel great about that. Washington, Philly can score 50. Content pack mule.

Well, Steve, I guess that line's moving for... Is he still talking? For good reason. I'll stick with the Texans, I guess. Stick with the Texans. Good. Give me the Giants. Wow.

Let me see the board one more time. I don't feel good about Aaron Rogers. Wow. It's kind of an impulse pick. You're taking it back? I don't know. Hmm. I'll buy my half point with the Broncos.

Oh yeah, I got to buy a half point here somewhere. Hey, listen, in the event that I need the half point in the Minnesota game, I'm not going to care about this very much at all. I'm going to care more about my bank account. So I'm not going to buy the half point there. You know? I think I'll buy the half point with San Francisco. That's a good idea.

And I'll just, I'll sit tight with Green Bay. I'll just sit tight. That'll be great. What's Roger's, Michael Parsons is going to. Hey, Steve This is serious, real ball talk here. Would you like the Texans generally at six and a half? Damien Pierce?

No, you don't like the Texans, huh? I like that. I'm confident in Daibel off a buy. Yeah. Oh, that sounds right. Are we doing takebacks or if you want? Yeah. I can give a fuck less, dude.

You know None of this is real If you buy back You don't get your half point Deal That's a good rule Okay Oh if you take one back you don't get your half point

Deal Take the Texans off my car And I'm going against Steve now Give me the Titans minus two and a half Yeah bitch I like it Hey you know what I want to do Sleep?

Yeah hell yeah that'd be great I'm gonna do I'm going to take back my half point for San Francisco. They're just going to win by a lot of points. And I'm going to take, instead of Green Bay, I'm going to take the Texans. Four and a half. Yeah.

That's a good pick. Yeah. It should be a low-scoring affair. Points are at a premium. Wow. Yeah. Because I don't want to have to root for Aaron Rogers this weekend. God, Texans looks good up there.

Hey, you want to trade Texans and Titans? I'll take the Texans back. You've got the Titans. No. You can go against old Stanford, Steve. No. Okay. Good pick with the Texans.

I like that. Hey, Steve, how much money you want for Cleveland? Hey, Steve, can you just VINMO me some money? $200. $200? Got it. Done. Venmo.

800 or 200? Whatever you want. No, it's okay. I don't want to take your pick. All right. I know you got to, you're making money today, though. with nine podcasts. There got to be at some point here.

You know? Okay. Wink Martindale called Damien Pierce, Earl Campbell, this week. That's a nice compliment. Nice compliment. And on our next podcast tomorrow, we're going to talk about our mid-season awards. So definitely tune in.

I'll be talking about Damien Pierce a little bit. Spoiler alert. He's my offense for rookie year. Okay, Steve. Wrong pick, but good pick. Okay, I can't wait to debate. made it. Hey Steve, are we letting Steve go?

Maybe Steve should join us for the freak show. Steve's got to pick, you know, kids up from school and shit. Our chemistry is just so good. He's got free time. Hydrogen and oxygen. You know what he does? He spends time with his family. Yeah.

Well, that's what happens when you lock up a seven-figure graveyard shift. Those aren't just, those aren't grown on trees. No, they're not. Holy shit. It's the guy outside the mall and people on Midnight Sports Center. There's no in between. God damn. Well, I'm Stanford, Steve.

I provide for my family and also spend time with it. Wow. Hey, Steve. Yeah. I love your shirt. Do you get it from Ryan Rusillo? I did not. Okay, he sent me a shirt from Wyoming.

Didn't send you one. Maybe you should take that up with him. Was it from the penitentiary there? No. It's from the, it's from Laramie. I deserved a bigger laugh or any sort of laugh. I'm not going to, I'm not going to laugh at Ryan. All right, Steve, take care.

All right, you guys have a good one. I love you guys. Bye, Steve, I love you. Stay strong. All right. Stay strong. It's not your fault. Go Titans.
