I will take the Tennessee Tatans. Catching six points. Tennessee might win the game, guys. Uh-oh. What if the Colts win by a field goal? Are you still talking? Holy hell. There is the possibility that this guy, Brosmer, is a halfway decent quarterback.

And if he is, they might score 16 points. I know. They'll get 17. That's the scary part about this whole thing. Just as Jefferson is going to bust one right in my face. White Steve joins us from Antarctica. An Arbor. It kind of sounds the same.

22 degrees, you got to keep that head covered. You're inside, too. Yeah, I know. We just got here. So the heat's pumping here in Cliff Keene Arena. Love that. What do we think, Steve? What do we think?

I think it's a story of all a lot of games this week, Chris. You're going to see a lot of road shock. And the idea of what the quarterback situation is, I think, is enormous because you have Georgia going to Georgia Tech, it's neutral site. You have Miami going to pit, but it's not really a home stadium. Ohio State comes in here where it's all that and all that's packed up against the losing streak. What Julian San has been this year in his first year starting, knowing what first year quarterbacks have done in Ryan Day's system. I look at the best thing about saying this year and why he's been so successful, and that's the biggest improvement of Ohio State this year compared to last year, is their O-line.

They got some dudes, they got some get-after-your-ass guys, and they've kept him so protected. So that's going to be tested this week. How Ohio State handles that, the situation, the atmosphere is all about it. But if they play well, everything will take care of itself. That's how good they are. A minute ago, what did you say about those Ohio State dudes? They got some dudes and they protect their asses or what? Get after their asses.

Yeah. Oh, no. I got some dudes that get after asses right here, making gunner. Yeah. What do you think about Virginia Tech and Virginia this weekend? I think Virginia wins the football game despite not having its best player in Cam Robinson, okay?

It's culture versus agriculture, Steve. And I think Virginia runs away with it and advance to the championship game. The question is, do you travel to Charlotte to watch the Who's play SMU, or do you keep your powder dry for the trip to Eugene in a couple of weeks for the opening round playoff game? Would it be Eugene? It could be Eugene. It could be Oxford.

We'll see how Ole Miss does. But one thing I'm not worried about is a Virginia Tech Hokies, all right? Could be loving. First off, first off. Yeah. You better win the game. Right. Are you going to cover the 10th?

It's eight and a half. And, yeah. Wow. Okay. Well, yeah. Okay. So a couple things here. First off, rank the, the, just purely for the fan experience, the destinations for the first round of the playoff if we were to, let's count our chickens here.

It's not close. Well, it's, I know. I agree. It's Oxford, Lubbock, Eugene. Yeah, Eugene's is too far. Eugene's behind Lubbock? Yes. Lubbock is awesome.

I want to go to Lubbock, dude. I want to go to Lubbock. I want to call me and Dola back in Lubbick. That's what's happening. Yeah, he went into the Ring of Honor the weekend. We were there. He came over. He said, hello.

I said, I know this long. He said, I do too. He does know me. We know each other well. I say that to so many guys. It's awesome. What's the worst reaction you've ever gotten? James Laroni, is probably on the field before a game.

He's like, is that guy ever going to leave his house? Nope. I'm becoming Macon. So anyways, yeah, that's what we're going. we hope and then as for the game Saturday I was I was going to say I was sharing this making for the game I have decided to watch the game in my field um and not go to the game and it's for a simple reason I have been too many times to that game yeah where I agree vomit on my ticket because I had to drink my sorrows away at dirty Nellies I'd rather be at home

with an option to mobilize and head to Dirty Nellies and celebrate if you win nobody says why weren't you at the game correct you lose, it's good to be in the field. So I will be in the field Saturday night, but we're going to kick that ass while we still can before we get all these Penn State transfers down here.

Saw that. Let's get this win. We'll see you in Lubbock. First year, second year, and all third year people. I'll be in Charlotte too. I'll be everywhere. Welcome to the Greenlight podcast presented by BetMGM. If you haven't signed up for BetMGM yet, use

So this is a difficult week because a lot of the action yesterday already transpired. The slate has shrunk. Cowboy, do you want to give us the updated tally on standings? I think that it is tightened. It is very much tightened. We've got Steve still leading. That's what she said. Nice.

Steve is still leading after a one thing. That's something to brag about Macon. 34, 24 and 2. Macon is right behind him at 34, 24. and one after a two and three week and chris within a percent at 34 and 26 no pushes for chris this season i don't push bro i pick a damn side you guys are a bunch of coward but the race has tight and we all have the same amount of wins that's what i noticed fellows well but i'm i'm i'm two and no starting this week because i had a good day on thanksgiving so i'll only be making

three picks so did i i was three and one in sides two and oh and teasers oh and three and in in props and in one and three it looks like in parlays. The Macon hit his prop last week. Yeah, I needed overtime though, Cam Little. Yeah, of course you did. Cam Little, but his leg is big. That's what Dr. Fax calls. It rolls off the tongue.

It does. Put it on a T-shirt. Yeah. All right. So, Chris. Chris, you were first. First pick. Am I first?

good week to be first considering there's barely a fucking play on here that looks good careful no i got i got to play i got to play for you guys i got to play for you guys uh fuck do i have a play for you guys i got all these pieces of paper here oh here's the paper i was looking for there it is give me give me the niners minus four and a half. Am I going to get canceled for making that play? Nope. Oh, no, it was on the paper.

Oh, it was on his paper. Yeah, it's on the sheet. Underlined, too. Underlined. Hmm. I'm going to take the Texans plus three and a half. Careful. Yeah, just be careful.

Be careful, Steve. looks like Steve's an extra in the movie The Thing. You remember the thing? The great movie with Kurt Russell. You remember that movie? I don't watch it. Like you're getting killed outside the Antarctic bunker by the thing. Chris, that's an excellent pick, okay?

Especially at four and a half. Thank you. People with Brown's tickets at seven points. I think that's a good ticket too. But four and a half. Whoa. We've lost your lines. Mania.

Mania. Calbs, I'll take the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don't care who the quarterback is. Minus three points at home against the Cardinals. They've lost three in a row, the bucks. No more. That's a good play. Thank you.

He's going to play? I think he's going to play. Baker? I think Baker will play. He's got to play. It can't be coach steady breadwater. That was the worst half of football all year. That's second half of Rams bucks.

I'm also like, bro, I'm also like, why don't you have a backup quarterback? Yeah, I know. It was bad. You can't do it. The bucks really sit on their hands a lot, don't they? I mean, they just, you sat on your hands at the trade deadline. You've got Teddy Bridgewater is your backup quarterback. Yikes, bro.

He was limited in practice yesterday. Baker was. Perfect. He's going to play. It's not his throwing shoulder. He's going to shoot it. No, he's going to shoot it up. Yeah, shoot that thing up, dude.

I'm going to. No, no, no. Oh, you got it. Oh, get the Jeopardy thing. Losers last time out by 29 points. I'll take the L.A. Chargers laying 10 points at home against the Raiders. Excellent pick.

Thank you, Steve. I'm going to take... He says, Megan's in full zag mode. All we have to do is find the next team that lost last week. What do you got, Christian McCaffrey Rush Yards? Christian McCaffrey Rush Yards, 68 and a half. Under. Thunder is 130.

Is that allowed? Fine by me. Allowed. Okay. Is Calves in the bathroom? Are you in a dimly lit volleyball locker room? I mean, it's sweet, dude. Sweet.

You know, Michigan, that is lit. The Big Ten's lit in that, like, even the sports that don't usually get a lot of people in the ACC, they have luxury suite. Arenas, dude. They have arenas for, like, I was described to me, like, the pound shuts down when they wrestle in Happy Valley. Fact. And hockey. Yeah. You're up.

You have two. We don't have hockey down here, James Franklin. All right. Give me the, give me the Raiders Chargers under 41. Circleed. That's fantastic, dude. That's nice turkey station.

Blow that out. I think it's Nate's. There's like a Pikachu or something. Yeah, it's fine. I think it's your kids probably. And then I will take the Tennessee Tatans. catching six points this weekend cam ward they don't seem to care about getting him killed he's a good player and the jaguards are ticking time bomb dude fucking tennessee might win the

game guys wow i get that gist from you he might win the fucking game fellows who's up you Steve Oh Perfect Michigan Michigan Steve Uh Hey Steve

Congrats on That went over Cal man Saginaw Steve It was awesome Go Cardinal I'm gonna take St. Clair Shore Steve What's the

Sparta Steve Let's go Vikings Under 15 and a half points Oh that's interesting I can't wait to see what McDonald does. Welcome to the NFL. For your first homework assignment,

you have to beat the Seahawks in Seattle where they have assaulted people at home. Mm. Hat trick. But also there is the possibility that this guy, Brosmer is a fucking, is like a halfway decent quarterback. And if he is,

they might score 16 points. I know. They'll get 17. That's the scary part about this whole thing. Justice Jefferson's going to bust one right in my face. Long slam pattern all the way down the field, 80 yards, first series. Give me Justin Jefferson over receiving yards. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, give him a Kleenex, too. Yeah. You did that. Steve, you went all the way with it. Making Europe. Oh, man. And that's in the C men game.

Sea men game. C men, he's going to bust one right in your face. All righty. Okay. Calbs, give me the Indianapolis Colts minus three and a half points at home. Somebody. went the other way on that. Good day?

Yeah. We're scrapping. I like that. I like that. I'm in the mood to go head to head to head with somebody, bro. So is Steve, man. So is Steve. All right.

Calbs, I don't know what to do here. That's crazy. All right. I'm going to go right back to Indianapolis. Give me Kaimi Fairbairn over one and a half field goals. who in the dome great call thanks he's doing the field goal thing fuck me damico likes kicking field goals too

not afraid to kick a field goal like a lot of other coaches by the way can we kick a few more field goals down 10 points in fourth quarters how about how about just the active kicking field like look what the bangles did last night they kicked field goals and you know what

they added up to freaking 12 points or 15 yeah it was crazy yeah it was crazy quarterback was one at ten in the red zone in the first half and they still Baltimore's bad guys yeah that that and it's the offense I know give me the Broncos

do you think if the commanders went to Tennessee to play the Titans this week the Titans will be favored yeah by one and a half points okay that's the commanders are on a trend to be the worst team in the league who's the quarterback back. Mario Tah. Yeah, it's a tough one.

Who did I take so far? You have the Niners. I got the Titans, the Titans. That was the one. It was just so obvious. So I have a total. Is this me? Yes.

I have a total. I have a side. I need a prop. And I've got a wild card. Do I have one pick or two picks, guys? One. Two. I have two.

Take it home. Man, the field goal thing's interesting, Mike. Yeah, it is. Probably not a great week to talk about field goals, considering it's raining everywhere and windy in many places, but not where you picked them. Let me, let me go. Let me go Seattle, team total, over 27 and a half.

Hey, Sam, I want you to really, I want you to really rub it in a little bit. All right. They won a JJ McCarthy. We're going to score 40 on these guys. This is what we do at home. Probably scoring special teams. And lastly.

And good news real fast. That Seahawks team total is 26 and a half. Oh, that's a great hit. All right. And then lastly, boy, oh boy. You know, I'm just going to, I'm going to do you guys a fan.

on this one and maybe you want this play after me, but I think 36 and a half is a lot of points in a driving rainstorm in Cleveland. Having said that, though, I think San Francisco might score a lot of points. Oh. Like, they might find a way to score like 23 points. It's kind of dicey. But Cleveland's not going to score much. Give me the under in Cleveland. 27-7 final? Yeah, I'm thinking maybe like, 22 to 12 kind of thing. 2112.

All right. Kind of thing. Is that your show? Yeah, I think that's all my picks. Give me the over and St.'s Dolphins. Sounds right, Steve. I just feel like Miami's going to do whatever they want. Not every week you can say that about Miami.

Correct. This is one of those weeks. could be two to four inches of snow in Cleveland on Sunday like that no here now I made something really smart here what go ahead make your pick if you think Seattle's going to score that many points and Steve thinks Justin Jefferson

is going to bust on his face then maybe I take the over in Seahawks Vikings could be a lot of turn over Does he really think that though because he took the under on the Minnesota team total? Yeah. Okay. Here's what I was going to say.

Is that everybody's picks? No. Who else? He has one more. I need to make a total here. So make one. A loser? Who said loser?

Nobody. Was Reed. I said that. I said that shit. Can you say what you're going to say? Because all I'm doing is picking a total. Maybe I should just pick a total and fade it. There you go.

Is that smart? Yeah, awesome idea. Yep. Do that. See, and a fun game, do it in three seconds. Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm looking at some weather now, player. All right.

Oh, I didn't know the weather existed until I said it's going to be raining. He's not here picking blind. Calbs, maybe we should go with an over that's inside. Huh? Wise. Okay. All right. Hmm.

Some of those overs go, some of those inside games, they go under sometimes. Is that right? Yeah. Hmm. Calbs,

what are you thinking here, man? I'm thinking whatever. Let Calves make the pick for you. Yeah. All right. That's what you'd happen, probably.

Rams Panthers over. Oh, yeah. uh deal rams panthers over 45 like the over and rams panthers please oh fuck off no matter what you picked i was gonna laugh hey uh chris this is uh yes or no problem okay uh if if in when virginia wins will make and meet you at 30 nellies yes you give me you give me cranked up up. I'm going to be cranked up. We're going to be cranked up. I want you so cranked up,

you're trying to call Uber again. We're going to be cranking like Michael Irvin on that bell, dude. We're going to be cranking. Yeah. It's going to be good night. I think also did you see the possible fine yesterday at the Packers Lions game? About a halftime analyst on his phone on the field during a game. Damn, he's snitching. I saw, I did see that too. You know what's so funny about it. Swear to you. I'm watching my dad. He was talking to you. No, they're on the phone. And I'm watching my dad and I can read my dad's lips. And I know he's talking about his flight out. I know exactly what he's talking about. And Strayhan's telling him, no, this is when the flight leaves like yada, yada, yada. We talk after the game and I'm like, I saw you on TV. You were talking to Stray.

He goes, yeah, I was talking about my flight trying to get home. I'm like, dude, I knew. I knew. It was so easy. I was just with those guys last Sunday because Steve, I went to L.A. In L.A.D. thing. I saw it. I went over Sunday to hang out with the guys, man.

No wonder that's a coveted job. Dude, they get the best set up in the world. They just watch games all day and there's food and Gronks there and it's fun. And Terry's there. And, you know, it's cool, man. To quote your dad this summer when I took, talk to him. You know, he said, we are all going to die on that desk. They're not leaving. They're not leaving, man. They got a gig. That's awesome. But here's where I was going to say my group text just fired up while we were making those picks. And somebody said, yo, I'm going to head over to redacted bar for lunch and watch Iowa versus Nebraska. And then the Bears game. This is a guy from Chicago, obviously. And then the other guy goes, trying to find a Christmas tree today. bro give yourself a fucking break my man like it is november 28th brother what are you all talking about

Oh, yeah? TV's up. We got TVs on the big screen right now. We got split screen. We got Egg Bowl, and then we got Utah, Kansas, big, big 12 rivalry. Half points.

Pick you on. Miami Nola 41? Sure. What are you doing? Half points. Oh, half points. Okay. Let's see. For yours truly, I guess.

Vegas and the Chargers could land right on it. Yeah, I don't do pushes. You also have the Titans at six. No, I understand. Titans might win the game, though. Perfect. Yeah, six and a half. I don't know what to do.

I'm thinking of bringing three pushes into play. Four, really. Now you're saying take Tampa Bay down to two and a half. Well, I think Tampa Bay wins easily. And then you're saying take the Chargers down to nine and a half. Well, who knows, you know? And then you're saying, stay away from that hook. And I'm saying, uh-oh, what if the Colts win by a field goal? Are you still talking? Holy hell. Good Lord. Come on. Don't laugh at that, Cows. Okay. I tell you what I'm going to do.

I'm doing one of the first two games. Calves, I'm either doing Tampa Bay or I'm doing L.A. Okay. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Calbs. Calps, bring, bring, bring, bring the charges down, Calbs, nine and a half.

Thank you. Holy hell. Oh, man. It's on the board. Holy hell. Happy thanks, streaming, guys. I'll see it, Dirty Nellie's, Steve.
