But I've got Mark Sessler here. I've got Patrick Claibon here with this now regular every other Friday fun show appearance working title again. What's up guys? Hang in there, Dan. That's what's up. Hopefully Dan is up, up right. doing better having dealt with what feels like a very similar thing also given to me by the kids

it's it's not fun and it lasts way too long and I hate it we should get rid of viruses ban viruses forever I think anyone that listened to the Thursday show could tell that Dan courageously gutted through I mean he was already in the middle of this illness I do question about the possibility that Greg and I now simply catch it because we were in a windowless airtight room about three feet from Dan's mouth and face, but we'll see what occurs. Patrick said we would know right away. So we don't need to go into more details.

I'm just, I'm sending you guys positive thoughts. You know, it's Aaron Rogers' birthday. I believe in manifesting because, you know, astrology, your third house is in cucumber or something. I don't know. Anyway, you guys are fine. You're not going to get sick. Let's do you.

I love all the comments that you're sending in at the bottom. If you're watching us on YouTube, if you're listening, we love you too. There's a lot of you out there. And you can also watch the replay on YouTube after the fact if you don't find it live. We got a lot to get to. We got Patriots Bills. Yeh, not a great game, but not.

You know, as blowouts go, I think it had some entertainment value. We've got Mark Sessler's It's About Me. You know, all It's About Me's are great, but Mark Sesslers are even greater. And we've got some predictions. And we've also got a shout out to our most loyal listeners of the 2022 year. This is a surprise for our listeners. This is a surprise for Patrick Claibon. But let's start with Patriots.

Bills, Bill's win this one, 24 to 10. Hit the highlight, Graver. Josh in the gun, takes it. Takes the hand off. Watch the throw. Fires one into the end zone. Caught. It is a touchdown.

Step on Diggs. Touchdown, Buffalo. That was John. Murphy, W.G.R. It wrapped up a drive that started like somewhere on the mass pike in Boston and ended five hours later in the end zone, sucking whatever life there was in Gillette Stadium out of the building. Bills win 24 to 10. They dominate time of possession. They dominate in many ways, primarily Mark, because Josh Allen is on their team and not. on the Patriots.

Yeah, there was a really stark contrast watching, really what was a workman-like performance by the Bill's offense and Josh Allen. A couple of always amazing throws, the Gabe Davis throw in there, sort of defying how the human body is supposed to work for most of us. It seems like he'll do something like that every week. But that drive that you mentioned,

I mean, if there was any life left in New England at all, it took it away. And I just think that across the field, you're watching Mac Jones bubble over and frustration. I mean, we've been hearing, and it's not, you know, they weren't whispers. There has been frustration from Mac Jones with the coaching all year long. And I thought that last night on an island game, Thursday night football performance, we're on the sideline.

You see him just explode at, I don't care if he says it wasn't it Matt Patricia or wasn't it Joe Judge or whoever. It is that environment. And we've been kind of questioning it all year long. Is it really as big of an impact as we think? they're often just looks disorganized, messy, and without a real focus. And so I think it does in a post-Josh McDaniels universe, I'm looking at Mack Jones and feeling like they've kind of sacrificed his entire second season.

I mean, it just feels lost to me. To the point, Mark, where, you know, we all remember the brown time game where the fans and Gillette had given up on Mac Jones. There were chance for Bailey Zappy. And so Mac is in this situation now where he comes into the game. And yeah, we see the frustration. and the video of him saying words that we can't say, maybe we can say them here, but we can't say them in other aspects of our job.

It provides like a nice side note, something to show, but the thing to show is the Patriots offense struggling. It's them having literally no answers consistently over and over again. And even when there were drives that were presumably going to be successful, they just kind of petered out. They didn't have the answers at the end. And then on the other side, watching Ken Dorsey literally call the same. same exact play, where you see Stefan Diggs score on a touchdown.

Then they run Gabe Davis on the same route. Like the bills weren't worried about the Patriots at all. And it really showed through last night. Yeah, I think the Patriots defense was what I expected. They were fine. At one point in the game, they forced, what, three straight stops. I think they had the sack fumble by Uche and a couple punts sandwiched at the end of the first half in the beginning of the second half.

And that was the point if there's any way for the Patriots to compete in this game. Their offense needs to score points and make it a game. I mean, giving up 350 yards and 24 points and getting four stops against the bills is about as good as I can expect. I think they focused on stopping Josh Allen's legs, keeping them in the pocket. They did that. Letting Devin Singletary and James Cook try to beat you. Unfortunately, they did that.

they ran the ball, I think, 28 or nine times between those two running backs. And if the Bills can do that with a banged up offensive line who really wasn't playing well or protecting Josh Allen, you're not going to beat him. I think it was more about Allen just like making great plays when the Bills had the ball at least. There was like a third and three early in the first half that was just unbelievable. Like you won't remember that he runs around and finds a, you know, well-covered Stefan Diggs. There was, you know, the touchdown pass where Allen's fallen out of bounds.

I mean, Herb Street and Al Michaels acted like that was some normal play. That's a third down. That's a fourth, four-doubt, you know, a four-point play. There was so many plays like that where I actually thought the Patriots defended it well enough. And like, yeah, you can't single up Stefan Diggs most of the games and survive. But it's like, it was more just Josh Allen is incredible. And Herb Streets out there acting like Boise State just kicked a field goal in the second quarter. Does that bother anyone else, Mark?

Well, you know, what I love is that, you know, we gather before this show for a couple minutes and we talk about things. And Greg's disdain for Kirk Herbstre's lack of enthusiasm on last night's broadcast was the singular talking point. I totally agree because I think I do understand a little bit. I mean, their job is to see in real time, like when we talk to Mark Sanchez, he's saying, I look at every play from four different angles. If Herb Street's doing that, how do you come out of that moment, not wondering how a human being just did what he did. And it's like next-gen stats tracked that,

and they go back to like 2016, as the second closest pass released next to the sideline ever. And up the four that are within one yard since 2016, Josh Allen has three of them. So this is the guy that does this on a regular basis. And the way that he just delivered the ball across his body. He just flits away. Who was that on the Patriots?

Was that Peppers? don't even remember who it was. He just flicked him away, whoever it was. A little bug. Well, that's the thing. And that's, it's a singularly Josh Allen type play, because I, afterwards, I was like, I have to go look at the NGS on that. So he's running 16 miles an hour to his right.

And so the poor guys is literally doing all he can to catch up to him at all. And then he gets there, and it's like a dog catching a car. Like, what am I going to do? He gets stiff arm. And then you guys see it. I mean, we'll talk about if Kirkherstreet doesn't. Because guys get to the side, like Zach Wilson, for example. He gets to the side

on, there's no plan. Josh Allen was planning on jumping and then finding somewhere to throw the ball. Like, he did that. And that's, and that you just don't have that playmaking capacity everywhere. And when you have it, you hold on to it. You appreciate it. Yeah, like he throws a pick like he does later on. Who cares?

Who cares? Like, you're going to turn the ball over. But you like, it's just such a value to have a guy that can make plays. Right. This reminded me a week one. And we've pointed to this out at different points of the season. He can now outpatient you. And I think I don't hate that as a.

a strategy for the Patriots just because you're an inferior team and see what happens. But when he can do that, and he only averaged 6.8 yards per attempt, but he was picking up all the third in shorts and he's just really developed mentally in terms of being patient when he wants to be. It's not going to happen every week. You still get the great plays. I was at an event at my children's elementary school during this game. It was Family Heritage Night. It was beautiful. They sang a little song. You know, they sang song's been the first time since the pandemic that there was a little, you know, you get a bunch of seven and eight year old singing. It'll bring a tear to your eye almost. And I'm checking the

score during the game. I'm like, oh, I don't need to even watch this tonight. I'm going to watch it in the morning. And it wasn't even as bad as I thought it was going to be because it was exactly as embarrassing offensively for the Patriots as I thought. But the other way around it was just like, no, Josh Allen is awesome. My last thing on the Patriots, though, is pick a scheme. They're just trying a million different things at once. Kurt Warner had a good video about it this week on his QB confidential slate. I had never seen his videos before. And he really pointed out something I've noticed,

which is just they're trying everything all at once. Their timing is all off. And I think that's where Mack Jones was yelling. What he said was to get rid of, you know, the quick game isn't working. That's what they're trying to be quick game. They're trying to be shotgun. gun. They're trying to be a power running team. They tried to be a zone running team. The one thing they do well is play action and take some deep shots and they didn't do any of that.

Kendrick Bourne called out the schematics as well a little bit after the game. And it's like they just didn't even take advantage of the fact that Von Miller wasn't there and that they didn't take advantage of the fact that Dion Dawkins wasn't there. It just it was pretty rough. One little hopeful note for New England. This is so Belichickian. but the Marcus Jones screen touchdown in a way they're using him who's not a natural receiver. Belichick going back through history was the guy that was on the giant staff when Dave Meggett, who is essentially an inch shorter in the same weight as Marcus Jones started to get used in a bunch of different ways. He had Eric Metcalf, and so I just wonder what will happen with Marcus Jones and if we'll see a little bit more of that

because it's like at this point, that's the second longest play they've had all year, other than John Hussmiss's like 51-yarder against the Browns. I mean, they'd just been a non-explosive offense. And, I mean, anything you can do to unlock. You're still in the playoff chase. I don't buy into them at all at this point. It's kind of shocking to see a Belichick team this disjointed in December, but they're still hanging around mathematically.

Well, you know what's going to happen with Marcus Jones. It's in stone. He's going to score like four more offensive touchdowns. And then after retirement, he's going to be one of the lone successful Belichick coaching tree candidates and he'll be good. That's it. You're set. Yeah, the Patriots, by the way, have the Cardinals and Raiders next.

They're both on the road. The way this team is playing, I actually think the most likely outcome of those two games is one and one, but certainly you could see them winning both of them, and then they would be eight and six and still hanging around going into week 16. At that point, though, they have the Bengals, Dolphins, and Bills in a row. And it just feels like this is going to be. be an eight or nine win team. That's kind of what we expected at the beginning of the season. All the offseason Patricia stuff, I think, has come to fruition. Mac Jones looks

much worse. I think mostly because of the offense, you know, he's not a dynamic playmaker that's going to like overcome that, but I think we've seen him be better. And I hope they change their offensive staffs this offseason, but I kind of think Belichick will be more too stubborn. Let's get to some comments here, Graver. Reed Anderson says, Claybon is a sex symbol, like okay fine um but so are mark and i and uh yes that go the latter goes without saying you know sort of just implied yes mark you said you had a you were going to have a that you're we had a comment that you're imprisoned again you're in the same spot you had look uh all the letters all all of the advocation for free mark sessler hasn't necessarily liberated him but he's got

some more decorations in the in the cell is looking better well i did on i mentioned to uh to justin before the show that I had a painting that I hung up behind me, and it was one of those little double-sided hooks that you think, but the painting about 12 minutes later just crashed to the ground because it was too heavy for the hook. So I think the universe is telling me, don't, don't toy with what's already aesthetically working. J.M. asks, what's more likely, Sean Payton to the Chargers or the Cardinals? The Chargers. Greg, what do you want more? I want Herbert. Hmm, I actually, I want Kyler Murray more because I don't know. I don't want to root against Brandon Staley losing this job, but I do want a different

offensive mind there. So I would be thrilled with both, to be real, because I think Sean Payton could help either one of those quarterbacks. I am still curious how this is all going to play out because Sean Payton's best friend, Mickey Loomis, is running the negotiations of like what the trade terms are going to be to get him out of there. And Sean Payton's kind of screwing over the Saints by quitting after getting like a huge raise on his contract.

And then, you know, got to force his way out and having his friend make this trade. But I think it's going to happen. I really think the Cardinals are going to change their coaches here. All right. Let's go to another question. Just tuned in, where is the old Zeus? That's from Colton. You know, we mentioned at the beginning of the show, Colton, show up.

at the beginning. He's sick. Alan Hilly asked for a rainmaker, by the way. Can we put that up a little next? Freddie Hall asked general thoughts on the World Cup fellas. Let's start with Claibon. Boring or fun? Who's a, if it's, no, it's, one, it's not boring to me.

If it's boring to you, you don't have to watch it. Like, you can go do something else, like, stare at the sky. I enjoy it. I enjoy all sports. I think, like, we get in these, like, sport versus sports arguments. That's the most boring thing on the planet. sports are cool watch sports enjoy sports i mean i think like the world cup i have a great memory of of um the previous world cup when a bunch of us went to this place the garage which was near our

old like uh workplace and west was there absolutely on fire uh and it was just a jam packed with like 400 people rooting for the same thing which i thought was kind of great like i mean there hadn't been too many la sports bar experiences where you don't have a bunch of people kind of like with differing rooting interests and getting each other's faces and stuff It's usually Raiders fans. So I like that. No, I love it. I mean, I watched Korea win this morning and just the emotion on the players to come through in a game like that.

Japan yesterday, obviously a popular one in my house. I was at work, but Emeka's going crazy. You know, shout out to all the Asian countries, Australia, although they're not technically Asian, but they're in that group of like World Cup qualifying the Asian group. And all three of them threw to the six. It's been a lot of upsets. It's been fun. Alan Hilly asked, can we get a rainmaker prediction, please? Kids got to eat. It's funny, Alan, you mention that because I was considering that. I'm four and one on the season. Let's do it right now because it's raining in Santa Monica. That's why the internet isn't working that well. And it's going to be raining in Baltimore this week as well. Yeah, the Ravens are heavy favorites, but they got the Broncos coming in and they're angry. And I'm not someone who usually likes these big sprays. at all. But it's not big enough for me. I think it's at eight and a half or nine. And the Ravens are sick to their stomach about what happened a week ago. I actually think they have a

top five defense despite blowing that game against the Jaguars. And I think this is going to be 24 to 6. An easy cover and the rainmaker goes to five and one. Well, I have a little Ravens prediction coming up later, which may fly in the face of your rainmaking attempt. So we'll see who comes out on top. Yeah, it is really pouring. And I walk to school in it we have a pretty long walk to school it's about 18 minutes and the kids the 18 each way and the kids they beg to walk on raining days they want to put on the rain boots they you know they're l-a kids that this is exciting you know what else is exciting when mark has an it's about me let's do it let's do a little it's about me mark it's your time

It's about me. That hornblower is like when we used to clock in and out of NFL and you'd like touch a little overtime there. This is going to require number one out of the gate. The people are loyal viewers and listeners. We are part of this. This is going to require some public theatrics. that they cannot go in and spoil it.

So they're part of a secret society here. This is what we're about to do. I, it's about me, but I'm gonna make this about you guys. And I'm gonna create today for each of you a specialized tweet that you're going to tweet out. I'll send you it in its exact verbiage, and some of them have images. And we're all gonna just let these tweets sit out there.

We're not gonna be some gibroni that's like, hey, I saw the show, this is fake. It's like, it is my tweet for you, and we'll just see how society responds to it. So we'll start with Greg. And Justin has been kind enough to help create some visuals for us here if you're watching.

And I created one for Justin, too, so he didn't get off Scott Free. So let's go to Greg's first. All right. So I don't know if people of a certain age might recognize the image here, but Greg tweets out, been spending my downtime,

rereading the nine-volume Little House on the Prairie series, totally forgot how dark gets when a post-scarlet fever, Mary, goes blind in the fifth book by the shores of Silver Lake. So you're a Greg. I'll send you the text. I'll send you the picture. At post show, you're going to tweet this out and just see, let Earth handle it as it will. It's about me. It's you. I'm not supposed to talk. You have to do this, yeah. Why do we have to do this? No, you do. Yeah, we We've lost some sort of competition here, some sort of bad.

Well, I also, just to let you know, and we'll get, well, let's do, let's do Claibons next. Thank you, yes, absolutely. Claibon, you're going to be tweeting this out. It says, it's sort of a question to your followers. What's next in the pattern? In parentheses, this blew my mind when I finally figured it out. One of those kind of things that kind of hoax people in. So you got people staring at these next things, and they read in line 7, 14, AA, 21, BB,

44 C C Amber the cat DD 55 Bumblebee tuna E E 77 FFG

88 WC Fields Alex P. Keaton now you're going to have people trying to find the pattern and figure out what it means and some people will probably be very forceful and telling you that they've cracked the code but there is no answer to this obviously. Clearly

absolute nonsense that's yours that will be coming to you Now let's do Justin's. This is going to be a tweet from Justin to Derek Henry. He says, yo, King Henry, too. I've been grinding through my Titans tape. It's officially D. Henber.

I just wanted to let you know that I view you as a big, powerful runner who takes no prisoners on the gridiron. I admire your work ethic and desire to destroy the enemy. Just see what comes out of that. The picture is also a great one of Derek Henry crouching low in a custom. custom-made plaid suit. Right.

So it's just perfect. Before their private jet goes to a game. Now, this one is Dan. I texted Dan to try to get some buy-in here, but I believe he's probably in Snoosville right now. He did not respond. But this will be Dan's if he will agree because he other, why would he not?

He has integrity. So here's Dan's. I'm spending December focusing on parts of my life I feel gratitude for. I'm very thankful for my friends and family as well as my love of music, 90s especially. What's something you're thankful for?

Be specific. Let's celebrate life together. Perfect. There we go. I hope that I'm giving you something that will give back to you all weekend long. I think that was a great. It's about me.

You turned it on us and are creating uncomfortable situations for us and Derek Kennedy. I mean, this was similar to a game we once played text or tweet, but it was like we all could share in that and and it was almost a punishment to get one of these and now it's like you somehow used your it's about me to punish us mika labano says that mark never leaves character

leslie nielsen would be proud and to that i said this is not a character mark never leaves mark this is who he is i i just want to create a scenario for each of you that um has a lasting mark And I didn't try to use my name. I want it to sear your weekend for better or worse. A lasting mark with a C is like definitely the fragrance name. I like that. I like that. You're my brand ambassador.

And also it's going to take me forever to write out this tweet. So please send it. Oh, wow. You have to send a copy. This is ridiculous. I love it. Josh says this is why he joined Twitter, although it's kind of embarrassing because he never uses it.

except for ATN. Well, thank you. That's very nice. I mean, Twitter, as Patrick pointed out a few weeks back on his about me, you know, there's a lot going on, but let's just focus on the good stuff. I'm not going anywhere. It's not going any. You know what else isn't going anywhere?

The one-minute injury update presented by AccraShore, your home for the best in cat food. David Najoku is going to miss this week's game. That's unfortunate. After that one-handed catch, he didn't practice all week, and he's not going to be back. Michael Carter is doubtful, so we're going to get more Bam Knight for the Jets. Toronto Armstead, as we're taping,

we don't have an injury designation, but he sounds relatively optimistic that he might return for this game for the Dolphins. Eric Armstead, also in that game, is going to return after a long layoff. Christian McCaffrey is okay, but we'll see more Jordan Mason. Samuel missed practice Thursday, so just check that out.

Justin Fields practiced fully on Thursday. We don't have his Friday availability, but the Bears did say if he's cleared by the doctors, he is playing. Aaron Rogers also expected to play. Josh Jacobs expected to play. He's been limited in practice. That's true of Joe Mixed and Jamar Chase,

who should return to the lineup for the Bengals. Najee Harris, despite missing practice all week, says he's going to play if you want to trust Najee Harris, but sometimes the players are more optimistic than the coaches. You just never know. Pete Werner been back at practice. I want to see the Pete Werner, Caden Ellis,

linebacker combo. That could be fun. Marshawn Latimer might return for Monday night too because his nemesis, Mike Evans, is in this game. Jordan Davis has been back at practice for the Eagles, so he might come off IR. No Matthew Stafford, no Aaron Donald, no St. Juice, Benjamin St. Juice,

for the Washington Commanders, who I know Claibon likes. and we got a questionable on Antonio Gibson and Chase Young for the commandos. That's it for the Injury Minute, presented by Actorshire. What is Dan's status? I'd call him. Yeah, we've got to get Dan in the injury minute. Right.

Is he questionable? Probable? Yeah, Jim, the editor says he's listed as questionable for Sunday, but the heroes are expecting him to see the field. I think it's kind of like if he finished Thursday's game, Thursday's pod, which was in person. It's kind of like finishing the weeks before it's game and I think he'll be there on Sunday.

Sunday's a big show. Good call. All right. Should we do some predictions? Should we take some questions? Or should we give some pop to our favorite commenters or listeners from the year? What do you think?

I think we go fan. We celebrate the fan. Okay. So, Mark, give me your experience. You wake up. I think it was Wednesday. It's a rap day. We get a lot of.

buzz, a lot of people that listen to the show letting us know how much they've listened during the year. How was that experience for you? I loved it because I didn't know what's happening. So it came out of nowhere. Wednesday's sort of our day to kind of get prepared for Thursday. You're sitting around and like you're getting hit up with people who are telling you, like someone's saying I've listened to 19,000 minutes of the show. And for my, the way that my mind works, I was like sitting there trying to unscramble, like, how many hours we put forward a week, times making that the year's amount and turning it into minutes. And it's like, I can't make any sense. But I think they're listening to it almost nonstop, it seems like at some point. Some people had, it was like someone like 28,000.

So I think it's dedication. We do have the best listeners. And I think it's incredible that they shared it. It was cool to be able to like retweet some of them too. I mean, these guys are putting the work in. These guys and gals, you're right. Right. 28,000, though, would not even make this top five list. So we decided to ask Justin Gravedigger to compile the five biggest listeners that we received. We got some from the Reddit board, some from Instagram, and some just from Twitter. And I'm going to run through them quickly. So you get a little mention here.

Tyrell Wilson on Twitter had 38,139 minutes. That's 26 days worth. And he's only fifth on the list. Reddit user HC199 got up to 30 days. That's, I don't even know how many hours that is. That's 29,000 hours. James Richardson got it up to 62,320. That's 43.2 days.

I mean, are you just leaving it on overnight? That's the thing I, it seems impossible. Our Reddit user, Nutcracker, I'll listen to 91,000 minutes. And that equals 63 days. You spent a full two-plus month with us, but you're not number one. Number one is Dallas Hoppa. You know who I'm talking about. Congrats to Reddit user at Dallas Hoppa, 97,000, 1776 minutes.

Our top listener. Wow. And we're going to reward you, Dallas. Justin is going to put it on the Reddit board and get your information. We've got a special prize pack going to you. We'll have some fun stuff, maybe some merch, maybe some other fun stuff we're going to send out to you. And I'm going to push.

Maybe we can even send them to more than just one of our listeners. And you see what we're doing here, Patrick? We're just like motivating all the listeners to top these guys for next year. Can you top two months listening? I mean, what, do you think they're just leaving it on overnight? Like, I don't understand what's happening. I wonder if Dallas Hoppa's like maybe you're like a cross-country like truck driver and you're just rolling through old episodes and you're just grinding

across the interstate, you know? Or maybe you're just in your house. I'm not sure. There doesn't have to be chicanery because you can, right, you can be double purposeful when you listen to a podcast, especially if you have Bluetooth headphones, you can wash the dishes. Of course, like, there's, it doesn't make it not viable if they're listening to old episodes while they sleep.

Like, it's still something. They're still listening. I was thinking, like, maybe somebody sitting at work at a desk job for eight hours a day, just listening nonstop to current episodes, to old episodes. because I don't even think we put out 97,000 minutes. Not even close. Someone just did the math and I'm just going to trust it on the comment boards. And they said that's something like 30 hours a week, which we're not even close to 30 hours a week.

We don't even work 30 hours a week. If you listened eight hours a day, it would take you over 200 days to get to this many hours. So that's like two thirds. That's like a work week every week. Now there was like a long distance driver who said I decided to go back and listen to the entire show. from the very beginning. I did get one of the... But even that guy had like 20,000 hours.

I don't understand how this happens, but I love it. And thank you all for listening. We love you. And yeah, Dallas and hopefully some more. I feel like Nutcracker went over $90,000. He deserves a prize pack, too. So we'll hook you up. All right, let's do some predictions.

It's that time of the week. Patrick, why don't you get us going on predictions? We usually go through the old ones, Gravedigger. Are we going to do that? Do you want to do that? Or should we just move forward into week 13? Because I don't know what we predicted last week. I can do it.

This is what a host would normally know. These are from week 11. Yeah. So they're a little old, but I have them if you want them. I'm not that interested in them at that point. Let's go to Claybon. Greg must have gotten his rough. It's two weeks.

It's two weeks old. The only one that was right was yours, Greg, which was that the lions would win in Meadowlands. We had three people predict the Jets would beat the Patriots, and they lost 10 to three in a horrible game for the Jets. That's right. That's because I wasn't here. All of you guys jumped on the backs of the Jets.

The Patriots might be the lousiest team, you know, Belichick's had and last place, but they still swept the jets. They've got that much. All right. We're now 11 for 52 on the year. Claibon, try to improve this for us. Okay. In a Vikings win where Kurt Cousins throws for more than 250 passing yards,

after the game, he will do something exceedingly cringy that people for some reason will gas up until we're tired of hearing. But yeah, all of that's going to happen. That feels like a lock. Right, that's every single game. Wait, did you say in a Vikings win? Yes, in a Vikings win. Okay, so you do, well, they have to get the win.

I pick the Jets this week for what it's worth. I think that's pretty likely with that offensive line struggling. So, okay, I did notice they have like a little baby they're now putting in chains now, or like a baby Kirk. So maybe it's Kirk and the baby being together doing something. that would be cringy and get it right for you. They did the chains thing, and then Taylor Hineke, swag jacked that. And so the Vikings were like, all right, we're not doing that anymore.

So they're going to have Kirk do something else goofy. Whose baby is it? How did a baby get involved? I don't know. They sent something out on their official timeline. It was the first time I had seen it, but there's some kid that dresses up as Kirk Cousin and Chains. Many of our listeners in the comment section noted that there was a ghost-like figure in the background. who yes was yesica so there there's motivation to go listen to the to be clear it to be clear in

Justin's background not not anyone else is well you would like her to be in your background there mark that is not accurate I mean just oh I mean Patrick I just like for the for the for the audio listener like he he's dropped these hints like Patrick throughout throughout the last few months and yeah that's motivation to go watch the YouTube show you can see see Yessica appear at minute 34 or something. All right, Mark, what do you got? All right. Well, I'm one of the big reasons that we've gotten 48 of these wrong over the course of the season, but I'm going to keep firing. I got a four pack of quick predictions here. The dolphins put up 40 plus on the Niners and a stunner. Greg, for you, the Ravens go into

a full-on crisis mode when they're outduled by the Broncos, a team that suddenly scores at least 27 points on this so-called pristine Baltimore defense. number three, a team owner says something that creates massive headlines by Monday night and the fourth. Now, this one I feel very good about. Mark and Greg are found in a catatonic state on Sunday afternoon because our workplace turned our free cafeteria into a cafeteria where you now must pay to get even the slightest ration and Greg and I will not be paying. And there's nowhere to walk and get food. So we'll just be found in a rough spot by Sunday evening. Yeah, I'm not like a big man, but if I don't, and Mark knows this well, if I don't have my three regular meals,

I'm a useless person, and that could happen. Yeah, yesterday was the first day this, this new policy broke out. I did drive to Tacos Porfavor after work and had a burrito, but the timing was all off. It was like 2 p.m. by then. My predictions about Bengals' chiefs, let's go Joe Burrow here, getting three touchdowns and beating the chiefs for the third straight time. Joe Burrow owns Kansas City after this one. I think it's going to be a shootout, and I do think

the Bengals find a way to win this game, and that the Chief's defense has been waiting to fall apart against a great quarterback like Joe Burrow. We'll see. You seem fine with that. Now you know what I'm picking later, Claibon, on the game debut. I'll take that. I'll take

Patrick Mahomes in that one. Also, for those wondering why we're wearing all black, it was the huddle news that Mark Yes. Well, precisely. Yeah, you can catch Patrick, by the way, and myself on Game Day View. We make picks with Rachel Benetta and Cynthia Freeland that's on NFL Network every Friday night at 8 and got some re-airs.
