The commanders won the draft, huh? About that last second tip at the goal line that's unbelievable that it down That's one of those games. We thought was gonna be like the game and then it was like and then it became the game Yes, it was a boring terrible for most of yeah Yes It was a boring game most of the way until it wasn't and then it became the most exciting game of the weekend crazy Right. It was the weird one o'clock flex most exciting game of the weekend. Crazy, right? It was the weird one o'clock flexed into four o'clock game too, right?

They moved that game like two weeks ago, but like, nah, enough for Sunday Night Football. Just let's make this a four o'clocker. And they weren't sure Jayden, Jayden Daniels was gonna play. He ended up playing. Go ahead, Billy. That was a weird like, hey,

his ribs are totally like messed up. Let's put an ace bandage above his jersey for a little bit and then take that off for a second. When I saw that package, I was like, this is all for optics, this is doing nothing. I didn't quite understand that. By the way, exciting news, guys. What?

Very exciting news. Really, boy. Wow, oh boy. From Mikey A, Mike Fuente's audience. We have Lucy in studio today. Wow. What? That's coming up in a little bit, yeah, in studio. Very exciting day. like a like Fuente's audience. but we do not bury college football here on God Bless Football even after a very exciting

NFL weekend because the NFL was tremendous yesterday. You had you had Jameis Winston come back and beat the Baltimore Ravens. Can we uh, can we and I don't wanna I don't wanna put anyone in a bad spot here. Okay, here we go. Can we play a very quick game of winners and losers presented by Smear and Off, the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. We can. All right, so. I've got winners and losers, let's go. We have a surprise for you.

Oh! Winners and losers music. Winners and losers. Wow. Production. Winners and losers. Now this feels like a segment that is presented by Smear and Off, the world's number one vodka, please drink

Responsibly. Okay. All right. Now normally we get to winners and losers a little bit later in the show. However My first winner this week. I feel like we cannot wait until later in the show. Okay, my first winner this week is us Wow, The NFL audience during the one o'clock window the witching hour. Yeah. That one o'clock window of games, that witching hour was something special.

It was magical. Yes. It felt like almost every game was up for grabs. I think there were eight games in the one o'clock window. Six of them were decided by like four points or less. Ravens become losses and losses become winning. Yes. And that's what happened yesterday.

Ravens, Browns, Jazz Patriots, Colts, Texans, Packers, Jaguars, Dolphins, Cardinals, unfortunately, Falcon's Bucks, all incredibly close games. Yes. Yep. Some of the plays happened. Some of the plays did not happen. Yeah. game. They were all incredibly close games. Yes. Yep. Some of

the plays happened. Some of the plays did not happen. Yeah. You had the Browns with a five point win. I mean the only two blowouts in that one o'clock window was Detroit and the Philadelphia Eagles and the Lions are my best team right

now. Not named the Kansas City Chiefs. Last week it was the Ravens, now it's the Detroit Lions, how about that? Here's the thing, the Ravens, you know what they did yesterday? The Ravens had their classic playoff loss yesterday. They did. That is what the Ravens do in the playoffs to end their season every game, except they did it against the Browns.

And by the way, the Browns got lucky because Jameis Winston threw an interception on that game when he drive. Kyle Hamilton, yeah. Flat out dropped. I don't know how that was dropped, I don't know what happened there, but it ended up getting dropped.

So then Jameis leads the team back, they win the game. Jameis was all time Jameis yesterday. Headed into the game, I don't know if you guys saw like the pregame press conference, that he did a little side, not press conference, like sideline interview, where he clearly had been speaking to the reporter beforehand giving actual answers and then once

the camera turned on all of the actual answers just went into Jamis mode. So it was classic Jamis. The one thing he left out was the interceptions. He didn't throw one. Yeah, I mean he tried he did. Oh no, he certainly tried. He didn't I can't believe that he hadn't started for two years. It's amazing. I felt like he like started at the Saints. Like I don't know what's going on. In a league that's starving for quarterbacks,

the fact that he hasn't started in that long is fairly amazing. He's good enough, right? Like for a bad team, he's good enough. He beat Lamar Jackson. There's a few teams he can start on right now. Yeah, he's good enough. Definitely the Colts.

Yeah, I can think of one. Oh, the Colts. Yeah. Did you just mention the Colts? Because the Colts, oh, they almost had a moment against the Texans yesterday. They did. That fumble recovery, run back for a touchdown and then got overturned. Very close play, I would say.

If you're counting possession, for those of you who don't know what happens, the Colts were down a score. Couple points even. No, three. They were down three. They were down three, a score. And Texans were driving, they were about to down a score. A couple points even. They were down three. They were down three, a score. A score. And Texans were driving, they were about to score a touchdown. He guessed, he got it right.

Just leave him alone. I didn't guess, I was watching. He said a score. He didn't know which score, could have been a safety, could have been a field. He said a score. He said a score. I had a long day yesterday.

I had a family party at night, which is just a crime against humanity Yeah, we still doing winners and losers we are doing winners. Okay, so yeah, this is still poor You're my loser for going to that party last night. Well, listen Listen or your friend is for throwing it. Listen. Listen, sorry, not my choice. We were there until quite late I was in a suit two days in a row. Wow. That's the type of weekend I have why? Well because two suits or one suit twice. Well get together on a Sunday night that required a scene a dirty little secret. Yeah

Different shirts Baptism on Saturday wore the suit and then yesterday we're going back and forth. What do I wear? Do I wear a suit? What should I do? We're the same suit. I wear the same suit. It was it was clean. Yeah Was there anyone that was at both? Same people exactly Who are like hey Billy's wearing the same suit only my mother-in-law was that well my wife but only and my children But aside for your wife was in on it, right? She knew she yeah Well, it's the second event it became a conversation. Is this a suit event?

Is this just a shirt event? Is it a shirt and tie but no jacket event? It ended up going just suit. Got it. No tie, which is rare for me. Winners and losers is what we're doing here. Presented by the Speaker of the World's Number One Vodka, please take responsibility.

The point is, with the Colts, I wasn't sure if it was like three, four, five points and it was a one score game. I knew that this scoop and score would have been the difference in the game. However, somehow the referees and the replay determined that enough possession was had that when the player was pushed to the ground while holding the ball

almost David Tyree style, that that constituted the player being down. So then they had to drive down the field. You knew Anthony Richardson was not gonna drive down the field. Why are you whispering that? It's either a 75 yard to Alec Pierce. That's all he could do.

Or nothing. It's either a play that will make you think he's the greatest quarterback that's ever lived or nothing. Those have become. There's no in between. He's a fan of Tech. Exactly right. He has no idea what a 10 place 71 between. Yeah. He's a fan. He's

a fan. Exactly right. We have no idea what a ten-place 71 yard drive is. I mean, just grind it out. I'm getting 70 in one player. We're not getting 70. Grind it out, Tony. You know what I mean? By the way, the Texans. Yes. Yeah. I'm I'm

not I'm not sold on it. There's six and two. You can't be sold on anyone at this point other than the Chiefs and maybe the Lions. You can't be. Uh anyone at this point other than the Chiefs and maybe the Lions. You can't be. Uh but the Texans are six and two. Their point differential is plus nine. That's insane. It's an insane

league. It really is. If you're opposed. Go ahead. Uh as opposed to the Lions who are plus 100. Unbelievable. Lions are plus 100 on the season. I know. I know. Yeah. They might be the best team in football. I mean, they are plus 100. I know. I know. Yeah. They might be the best team in football. I mean, I don't know. I have no idea. This league is insane. It's like even the Chiefs at

seven and oh, you're still not convinced. You're not starting today. I'm going to keep track of every team you say is the best team in the NFL. Yeah. I mean, I've said it about like seven teams so far this year. If I had the ambition, I would go back to week one and I would just make notes.

I think at one point I had the Bucs as the best team in the NFL with Baker Mayfield winning an MVP. The Ravens a bunch. Yeah. I'm pretty certain the Niners were the best team in the NFL at one point. They're not. The Packers.

Pretty sure you said the Jets. I said the Jets right after that win. Yeah, I did. They're not. Speaking of Jets, Jeff Patriots, one of those games in the witching hour. Yeah. Yeah one of those games that sucked in the witching hour Drake Maybe maybe but jaden Daniels the commanders won the draft, right? They won everything yesterday. I mean They won the weekend. They won the draft. I mean I I mean Billy come on the commanders Yeah, I mean what we talked, it wasn't a great game.

Up until the last 90 seconds where you had both teams score, it wasn't a super fun game. It wasn't what we were hoping it would be. It turned into that for the last 90 seconds of the game. When I say they won the draft, okay, Jaden Daniels is first in the NFL in completion rate. He is first in yards per attempt. He is first in net yards per attempt. Like he is having an MVP type season. No, he's not going to be the MVP this season.

He has a chance at winning the MVP. After yesterday, he does. He's not going to be the MVP this season. Who's really running away with it? Well, I don't, I don't. Okay, here's the one thing and I don't want to be. Not my homes. I don't want to be a party pooper on Jaden Daniels.. Well, I don't, okay, here's the one thing, and I don't wanna be. It's not my homes. I don't wanna be a party pooper on Jaden Daniels.

I really, really don't. Okay. I'm worried about his size. Like, he needs to put on some weight, because he's small. Very thin, very thin. He is. He's a skinny guy, and I'm worried about the wear and tear. And we've already seen it, and I'm not like,

stepping out on a limb here, but I wonder if health is gonna become a factor at some point this season. It already has to an extent but we're only halfway through the season right now. Right. It's a fair thing for you to be concerned about but he has played every game this year. He held that ball. He missed the second half of last game and this one he was being bandaged up and held together on the sideline possibly for optics possibly possibly.

I understand what you're saying. You have every reason to be concerned. I'm just saying this year eight games in he has a shot at winning the NFL MVP. I'm not saying he's going to win it but he does have a shot. The commanders were awful and

they've been awful for a while and they draft one guy and that've been awful for a while and they draft one guy and that one guy has them at six and two. I mean, that's an MVP to me. I know he's a rookie but that's an MVP. Yeah. So, we'll see what happens though. I mean,

there's there's nine games left. They also change their coach. They also change their coach which matters. I mean like the their defense is playing like reasonably which is or maybe even a little better. Yeah, which is to say something like. No, the defense is playing really good. I mean, Washington has been a good football team.

They're they're point differential of 70 points. I mean, they're six and two and Dan Quinn's a good defensive coach. So my winner yesterday is Nick Sirianni. Oh, leave him alone. I mean, they want to they went to Cincinnati. They blew out Cincinnati and everyone's like constantly on the guy. I don't understand this. This is a take

that he's been workshopping. I heard you on the offensive line this week where you were saying you're a Nick Sirianni guy. Yeah, I don't understand why you've crafted this. This is not why you're going building this take in midair for like a

month. I am not a Nick Sirianni guy. I'm just I'm a fan of a guy who's being criticized after being the only coach in that miserable organization's history that has taken them to the playoffs in the first three seasons and now

here he is sitting in five and two. I mean, he's five and two. They beat Cincinnati. They beat Joe Burrow on the road. They've won three straight. Yeah, but like also, this is a Bengals team that struggled this year and you're painting it as this

big win because you said that the Bengals were going to go on like a four game win streak and they lost the Eagles. They were the best team in the NFL. You're arguing against your own takes and using your own misguided takes as evidence why your new take is a good take, which is incredible craftsmanship, I must say. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. I've been doing it for 20 years. I'm not going to stop now.

Hold on a second. I'm not going to stop now. I have to say. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. I've been doing it for 20 years. I'm not going to stop now. I have to say that Cincinnati had one three straight headed into yesterday. That's why the win was so impressive for Philadelphia and I still have the Bengals making the

playoffs. How about that? I have more winners and losers. You want them? Yeah. Fans of safeties. Big day for fans of safeties yesterday. Huge huge day for winners of of our fans of safety. Okay. Also, we skirted around the Jets Patriots. We day for winners of of our fans of safety. Okay. Also, we skirted

around the Jets Patriots. The local at the end of the game. We'll get. Oh, I feel like we'll get there. We'll get there. Yeah. Also, I'm embracing the darkness right now, Billy. Gotta learn to live with it. What? Are you what

Aaron said after the game? Yeah. Oh, that's what Aaron said. Yeah. You want a loser? Yeah. People who are not, people who do not celebrate tight ends day because oh my God, you couldn't go four seconds without someone saying happy tight ends day yesterday. Yeah, yeah. It was like Scott Jensen's close to.

No, everyone, Toreko was doing it at the end of the day. Everyone who's doing it made a tight ends day. That was gonna be my winner and loser. Really, tight ends? National tight ends day because I mean, my ears were bleeding with hearing about national tight ends day over and over. But at the end of the day,

like they scored 16 touchdowns and 177 catches. Like they actually had a tight ends day. They celebrated their day. They actually celebrated. They did. Yeah. Um, a big winner every weekend because she has the best job at Metal Orc Media is Lucy.

She joins us next. Stugats more muscular. Mm hmm. I have lost 10 Lucy. She joins us next. You got more muscular. Mm hmm. I have lost 10 pounds. Have you? Yeah, using my Peloton. I've had the Peloton in my house. So my daughter, she wanted me to get a Peloton.

I did. She used it a couple of times. Yeah, great endorsement. But once she left to college and the Peloton was just sitting there in my office and it wasn't being used, I said, you know what? I got to use this. And I have lost 10 to 12 pounds, Billy.

So I started using Peloton as a bike. Obviously that's like what they're known for. But recently I discovered all of the other classes that they have. They have like a series of weightlifting classes. They have programs, which for me the programs is great because I don't have to think about what I'm doing. If not, I just go and I pick a class at random

and I don't know that I'm actually accomplishing anything. I would like some recommendations on classes because I keep going to the same class. Okay. It's the Grateful Dead class by the way. Do like a four-week core program with Emma Lovewell. I would recommend that one. Okay. Anyone can do that. Any level starts out you know easy and then you work your way up and then there's like a core program two that you can do after core program one if you want to do that. Yes, you graduate. Wait a second you have to

graduate course one to get to course two, the harder course. Well, you can start a course two if you want, but I eased my way in. I did course one first. Then you can do some strength classes with Andy. Love a strength class with Andy. It really puts me through it. I get up and I'm like a sweaty mess and I'm kind of disgusting and I love it. You know anything about Peloton, Stugats?

What? Peloton coaches, they walk the walk. Really? Yeah. Do they talk the talk? They have sub three hour marathon runner coaches. They have military trained athlete coaches, they walk the walk. Really? Yeah. Do they talk the talk? They have sub three-hour marathon runner coaches, they have military trained athlete coaches, former college basketball player coaches, and so many other well-rounded coaches on their team. All this experience really shows in their classes. You're never short of challenging. You can do some resistance band classes. I got some resistance bands lately. You're my teacher. Am I? Yeah. You know, no I'm not. Well, I just go with the program so then I don't have to think.

Because I don't know. I don't actually know what I'm doing. Anyways, what's the Mr. Olympia? Right? Is that what it's called? Yes. The one where you go and you're like lifting like shining boulders. Yeah. Hey, we should talk to Magnus again.

That's Mr. Olympia. Yeah. Yes. What did I say? Olympus. Did I? I don't know. Anyways, find your push.

We're very excited for this. She is fresh off a weekend at Oxford, Mississippi. You loved it there, huh?

I loved the Grove. I would live in the Grove if they would let me. I was like, is there a spot in the schedule where we can go back to the Grove and just not go to the game? Because I want to spend so much time there. So Mikey A, as you were saying, that was nodding his head in approval. He's been to the Grove and just not go to the game because they want to spend so much time there. So Mikey A, as you were saying, that was nodding his head in approval.

He's been to the Grove. He knows what you're talking about. It's that good, huh, Mikey A? It's the epitome of college football tailgating. It's everything you want it to be. The Grove is my favorite college tailgate. Wait, so can you explain that, Lucy? What makes the Grove so special?

Because Mikey A said exactly what you said to me before the show today. So the Grove, so Ole Miss's campus is very small and the Grove is this like semi-wooded area right in front of the stadium. And so they only really tailgate on the Grove. So it's all very like confined. So you're really able to get, you know,

wherever you want to go, but it is like the most, like we talked to a tailgating service there because all the tailgates are done by tailgating services. So people aren't just showing up and setting up a tent, they're hiring people to set up a tent, hang up a chandelier, get catering. We saw someone who hired a commissioned artist to paint Ole Miss art.

And it is like this insane, the way it starts at 7 PM the night before you're finally allowed into the Grove and you don't have a set tailgating area. So all these people line up and it's like a Black Friday sale almost where you're sprinting to find your spot. I'm sorry to cut you off. Billy made a face.

I made the same face. We went because do it yourself. I mean tailgate. You don't need to outsource a tailgating company, you know? Get a grill on tailgate. There are some people who do it themselves, which like normally, if you would have said this, if I would have heard me saying this a week ago,

I would have been exactly on your side, but seeing how nice these conditions are, it's where I was like, if I had the money, I would. Well, so how does this work? Because I'm imagining like that video where you see like the people with the folding chairs, like running up to the front row of the money, I would. Well, so how does this work? Because I'm imagining that video where you see the people with the folding chairs running up to the front row of the concert and they swing it around

and they sit down. But if we're involving chandeliers, we need to get some square footage there. So it's like squatters rights almost. So people aren't bringing stuff. From the company we talked to, they send 150 people, they set up over 800 tailgates or 800 tents, which is different than tailgates, whatever.

But they will all- Just there? Just, yeah, just at the Grove. At the Grove, yeah. And they don't do any other schools. They only do at Ole Miss. And there are competing companies. They are not the only company there

doing like tailgating services. So people will all like line up and sprint just to claim a spot. So I believe they like hang up signs or whatever but they're not setting up right then and there. The more like extravagant ones they will. So like a lot of people do order chandeliers for their like there were a ton of chandeliers at these tailgates everywhere all over the place. So like if you have a more extravagant tailgate you're probably gonna set start setting up over you know at 7 p.m. the night before. But if

you're doing like a more chill casual one then maybe you'll set up at you know four or five that morning or whatever. But it is it is like I've never seen anything like it. I was like in shock most of the day. It was so insane. And Lucy correct me if I'm wrong but the people are actually a lot more friendly than I've noticed that a lot of other tailgates. You could walk into in and out of any tailgate. We didn't get that in Kansas City when we went, Billy. Well, that's because they're not doing any of the work.

They have these companies doing it for them. They're not miserable. You got to sweat it out on a Saturday. I mean, Jesus. They were so friendly. And so we asked the tailgating service, what are the nicest tailgates there are? And we went to the most expensive ones, the nicest ones.

We had private chefs cooking for us. We had the most delicious Ole Miss cookie I've ever had. Everyone was unbelievably friendly. And come on by, take a drink. And so many people don't have a set spot. They're just floating from tent to tent. It was one of the friendliest bunches we've ever seen. And like, I get why they're so nice.

If your tailgating setup is that good, you know you're gonna have a great day. And this was the first game that we left the game and went back to the tailgates. It was a significant time there. Did you wanna go into the game? Not even a little bit. We were having so much fun and the tailgate. Really? It was a significant time there. Did you want to go into the game? Not even a little bit. We were having so much fun and the tailgates were so cool.

And like, you know, there's a downside to having tailgates that great the game atmosphere wasn't, you know, insanely great or anything like that. And it was one of those things where normally I judge you for that, but I was like, I wish I was in the Grove right now. It was so amazing and it's so cool. Which it also makes sense because Ole Miss has had a tough

60 years of football, so you might as well just win the tailgate. Two weeks from now, Georgia Ole Miss, you headed back? Maybe. Why are you here? If we go. She didn't want to leave, Billy. If we go, and I'll tell you, if we go,

we're not going to that game. Yeah. I don't want to go to that game. Oh, you're staying at the Grove? I will stay at the Grove. I will be there at 7 PM. I will claim my stake, even though I do think you have to pay for that.

But Billy is very skeptical. I can tell. No, no, no, no. Listen, your tailgate needs to be dirty. You need to get your hands dirty. There were dirty spots. All right. So that was the crazy thing, too, is I've never

seen a tailgate where all the students are so, their tailgates are so intermixed with the grown adults. So you could walk to a different section of the Grove and be in a true frat, nasty tailgate, but then you can also walk 10 minutes the other direction and be the nicest tailgate you've ever seen that has 15 chandeliers. I'm somewhat skeptical of this, Stugatz.

I feel like next year we should make a little road trip and go to Old Mystic's experiences. Agree, to the Grove. You'll love it. Because it seems like you need to go to kind of understand and appreciate. So I don't want to poo poo it too much. I feel like maybe we should go to experiences next year.

Okay. Can't go in two weeks. No. Gonna be in Arizona. Oh, that's right. We haven't announced that yet. It's a secret. Secrets out, we're going to Arizona.

Shush, shush, shush. Come see us. Shush. So where are you headed this weekend, Liz? We're going to Penn State this weekend. Oh, big game. Ohio State. Wow, big game.

This one's huge. Yeah. This is the first time that it's felt, like it usually, and I'm sure it'll probably end up playing out the way it always does. What, with Penn State losing? With Penn State losing, yeah. It usually feels like that's the way that game is gonna go,

but things are a little more wide open right now. Ohio State looked really, really bad against Nebraska this weekend. Yes. If they had played any team that knows how to finish a game they probably would have lost that game and they probably should have lost that game. Penn State lost their quarterback at Wisconsin this weekend but the backup came in looked just like Trace McSorley. Like literally it's almost like they got a factory or something there. And this is like a we're dealing with a very sort of different level of these two teams where Ohio State

Maybe doesn't look as good Penn State seems to have added like a new element or offensive scoring points a little easier It should this is a really big like James Franklin. Are you finally gonna do something game? It is It's also a big Ryan Day game though. It's also a big Ryan Day game Which was so funny because Ohio State did beat Nebraska this weekend. They won the game. It was not enjoyable, it was not pretty, nobody had fun. All I could see when I was going on Twitter were Ohio State fans begging for Kurt Tignetti

to come to Ohio State. Were they really? Yeah, which like, Ryan Day probably has the highest winning percentage of any coach in college football right now, and they're like, we hate the guy! You know what just dawned on me? It's been a while since we've seen the whole Dylan Rayola, like Patrick Mah the guy. You know what just dawned on me? It's been a

while since we've seen the whole Dylan Rayola like Patrick Mahomes situation. That's cause they got bad. Yeah but so did Patrick Mahomes they're playing like each other. Right. It's crazy. They are. They're connected. Yeah. What if they're like really related? What if it's like a what if it's like a soap opera type of deal where they're actually brothers or something? Wow do they know and they're keeping it a secret or they don't know and they're gonna find out? I think that they're connected and they don't know. Wow. Being upgraded brothers though, right? I can see that.

Yeah. It's, by the way, this game that you're going to is a big game not just because it's three against four, it's because one of these teams may now not be playing for the big time championship because Indiana, secretly, number 13 in the country, number one in the Big Ten Conference, every time you look at the standings.

Yeah, it's really weird, but we really have to acknowledge the fact that we might be shaping up for an Indiana-Oregon Big Ten Championship game. Well, I mean, they need to beat Ohio State, which is a tall task, but even if they beat Ohio State. And right now, if they're on a, so Indiana's quarterback was hurt this week he did not play they still were able to get past Washington I think

Indiana has like the longest streak right now of like beating teams by like 14 points or something or more it's crazy like they have just been unbelievably dominant this year like that's what's been so shocking about Indiana is they're not like like just like dilly-dallying through these games they're blowing teams out blowing out by the way, last week they played Nebraska. They won 52 to seven, I believe. Nebraska almost beat Ohio State the next week. If we're playing, and the transitive property

never really applies, but if we're looking at it through that lens, Indiana might be favored. I don't know if it's in Columbus or in Bloomington, but if it's at home, Indiana might be favored in that game. So this is a crazy question and it does it's in Ohio State. This is a crazy question, it's not gonna sound serious, but could we really be going from Indiana, huge story, to are they gonna sneak into the playoffs? Absolutely, there are 12 available spots right now and I think you're gonna run into a situation where I think the ACC gets two teams max,

I think the Big 12 gets one team max you have a spot for Boise State, but you're not gonna see any other I'm assuming it's gonna be Boise State But any other group of five schools so like there is a lot of leeway here I think you kind of have to look at other schools in the sense of hey does how does Indiana play Ohio State? I think it's gonna matter does Alabama lose lose again I think that's going to matter I think it honestly matters more what happens in the SEC for Indiana's future then what necessarily happens in the rest of the Big Ten because I don't believe their remaining schedule is too difficult with the exception of Ohio State yeah could there be four Big Ten

teams because let's say Ohio State wins so then you have a what a one loss Penn State team a one loss Ohio State team If Oregon goes undefeater loses one game is Indiana with if they lose to Ohio State one loss gonna get in above any of those three I think it could absolutely happen because my whole issue with it right now is Indiana doesn't necessarily have sort of like the brand name Sort of marquee that comes with you know being a big-time college football team. It feels like they have to be perfect to get in. Yeah, because if Michigan were having the season that Indiana had right now, we would never even question it. It's so crazy that Michigan just fell off and we don't even talk about that.

We all knew it was gonna happen. Yeah, but just seeing it actually happen is crazy. Their offense is like, and I know bad offense better than pretty much anyone, is heinous. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen. But the thing with Indiana that just concerns me, and it really has nothing to do with Indiana, it has to do with the fact that I don't trust

the college football playoff selection committee to watch college football. And I think that if they're gonna have a choice between a one-loss Indiana team and a two-loss Alabama team, they're gonna pick Vama even though right now, like Indiana, they are doing crazy. They are really, really good. They're gonna pick gamma even though right now like Indiana they are doing crazy they are really really good they are blowing teams out and like Washington was one of the closest games they've played this season and they didn't have their starting quarterback but it still

wasn't close like they are a unbelievably good football team and I think what was so interesting about Indiana is it's not like they're just like, OK, they go off in the second half. They start the game strong. They end the game strong. They are like just so consistently a good football team. And it's so cool. Like Indiana is kind of the reason that I'm starting to buy into the 12 team playoff a little bit more because like how sick would it be for Indiana to do this? Well, I'll just say the fact that their games matter more later into the season, not just them, a lot of

schools for me. That's a that's a good reason to expand the playoff to twelve teams, you know, who's back games matter. Right. I mean, say it's more games matter. No, they do. I've already listen. I was wrong. The twelve team playoff has been great for college football. It is not ruin the regular season and more games matter and more teams are in it for longer parts of the season. That's a good thing. Oh I think it's great. I felt that at Tennessee Alabama where I was asking fans is this is this like a elimination game for the playoff and a

lot of them felt like that was the case. I don't know necessarily know if that's true. I think next week Bama or two weeks from now Bama and LSU play and that'll definitely be an elimination game but everything's wide open. We really don't have a set idea of who's going to be there. Like, you know, you're gonna have your conference at large bids, and this is, it's exciting, and it's really fun, and like, we could see Indiana, Boise State, A&M, all in the playoff.

You could see Pitt? Yeah, you could see Pitt in the playoff. That's really, really cool. Yeah. I don't want to see Pitt in the playoff. No one wants to see Pitt but you might see Pitt. It's a cute story. Don't want to see it happen. Also like if you're asking me, Indiana and then Alabama, the two of them are one against each other. I think I'd put Alabama. Yeah. I think it's still put, if they play each other I don't, Indiana is a nice story. They don't really play it on anyone.

I would say that Indiana doesn't have the exact schedule that Alabama has had. Also, Indiana doesn't have any loss and Alabama has too. I do think Indiana would beat Vanderbilt. Vandy's good though. No, Vandy is good. They really challenged Texas this weekend. I would just say that Alabama is not playing well

and they haven't been playing. Mizzou doesn't count. Mizzou is a dumpster fire right now. But Alabama is not playing well right now. And that's what like that's why I'm concerned is because I test wise you take the jerseys off you would you put your money on this Indiana team. And I just don't think that the college football playoff can create enough separation. It's just it's hard to feed it. They go in. Yeah. It's hard to imagine even as bad as Michigan's been. It's just it's hard to feed it. They go in. Yeah, but it's it's hard to imagine even as bad as Michigan's been. It's hard to imagine Indiana back to back weeks because they're going to have to do this beat Michigan and then

beat Ohio State at Ohio State. Yeah, the Ohio State game is going to be the real eye test. I don't necessarily know if Michigan is going to be the real eye test. It'll be interesting to see the way that Indiana's offense goes up against Michigan. Stevens who is still very very good, right? But the Michigan win Indiana's offense goes up against Michigan's defense, who is still very, very good. But the Michigan win isn't as quality, but Michigan is also a team that's also sort of always been in Indiana,

where they tend to play Michigan pretty close and lose every single time. They're like a metaphorical Nebraska against Michigan. All right, I have one Lucy or Goosey for you, and then a new game, would you be shocked? I'm just gonna throw some teams out for you, and you tell me if you'd be shocked if they hoist the trophy at the end of the season.

Just one Lucy or Goosey. It might be the biggest one ever then. I mean, I can make it two if you like. Well, no, you said one. You want one? Okay, here it is. Notre Dame should have been more respectful of our troops. Lucy or Goosey?

I'm gonna go Goosey, not because I believe, well because I feel like Navy was disrespectful to Navy. You turned the ball over like six times, I mean that's on you, I'm sorry. All right, I could do this all in Lucy or Goosey form, and would you be shocked? I'm gonna wrap the whole thing up together, okay? Can I do a quick tidbit?

So I believe Navy turned the ball over six times in a loss. SMU turned over the ball six times this weekend in one. Yeah. One. Yeah, interesting. Notre Dame sneaking back in the mix now for a playoff spot after completely disrespecting armed forces. Yes, right.

They should be in prison for treason. They have the chance to do it again against Army. Yeah, well. No, we want Army in. I mean, we want them both in. right. They have the chance to do it again against Army. Yeah. Well, no, we want Army in. I mean, I'm not. We want to both in. Yeah. As far as I'm concerned, Navy is eight now.

Look, if we're going to be honest, we just want Notre Dame out. Yeah. That's just the reality of the situation. Yeah. Justice here. I won't say that. No, it's more for goal purposes. Lucy or Goosey, BYU can win the national championship. I'm I'm going to go Goosey right now. Uh obviously, BYU can win the national championship. I'm gonna go Goosey right now. Oh wow.

Obviously BYU undefeated, they're having a great year, but the way that Indiana is winning games is very dominant, like that's why I'm really buying in. BYU is just kinda like, lucking into a lot of these things. They probably shouldn't have beat Oklahoma State two weeks ago. They're keeping these games very, very close. I think that the Big 12, you have two undefeated teams left

in Iowa State and BYU. I think they both could have a loss in their season. OK. They're not winning games in a dumb enough fashion for me to think that they're particularly great. All right. What were you smiling at? I feel like you stole a question from your next game

and put it in this game, because it wasn't your next game. Could you imagine these people winning a championship, and then you just ask that question? Yeah, and she just answered the next one I had, which was Iowa State. Oh, wait. Is this Lucie Augusto or your next game. Could you imagine these people winning a championship and then you just ask that question? Yeah, and she just answered the next one I had, which was Iowa State. Oh, wait, is this Lucie Augusto or your other game? This is, it's two games wrapped into one is what it is. I don't think Iowa State could win a national championship.

I think they could very much win the Big 12. They're having a great year. Rocco Becht has been amazing so far. And I actually sneaky root for them. I want them to do well. All right, it seems like you think Indiana could win the national championship. I think that if they faced a team like Georgia or Texas they would probably lose. I

think that Alabama could easily, they could compete with Oregon or Indiana, they could compete with Oregon and they could win a playoff game. We're gonna have like all this. It's exciting, it's fun, they fixed it. 12-team playoffs, great. It's gonna be like Georgia, Texas. It's gonna be like one of those. Ohio State, Virginia. Right. Yeah, I do think, I think that, you know. It's gonna be the final four.

I think the first round, we're gonna be like, why did we do this? Yeah. Why did we expand? Yeah. If BYU played all their games in Provo, do they have a shot at winning a national championship? No. No? Really? Wow. Okay.

They've been a very fun story this year, but I think that there are a national championship? No. No? Really? No. Wow. OK. They've been a very fun story this year, but I think that there are a lot more talented teams. But they're fun. They're fun to root for. Like their quarterback, BYGEO, they've got a great story going there. It's fun.

You want a quick Don't Look Now? Don't Look Now. Colorado in the top 25. After Deion said, don't put us in the top 25. He doesn't like it there. I mean, get out of here. I think it's funny. I think it's very funny the second we all were like, OK, don't put us in the top 25. He doesn't like it there. I mean, get out of here. I think it's funny. I think it's very funny the second we all were like,

okay, we're done talking about Colorado. They're like, finally. We're good. You don't believe that though. You just, you know Deion doesn't want a number 23 next to his name. He wants like a five next to his name or a six. You know what I mean?

So he's like, yeah, don't put me in the top 25 until I'm in the top five. Yeah. Just keep us unranked. Yeah. 26, 23, they're the same. Yeah. Put us in there when you get to single digits. Exactly right. That's so great. You go from, I guess, college football heaven to college football hell in Penn State. I'm sorry, it is. I mean,

happy valley. Very dairy thing. No one's happy there. It's an insanely cool stadium and the crowd is really, really loud. The weather is not going to be so fun, and it is just a very difficult place to get to. Don't ask James Franklin any tough questions, though. He'll just walk away. No, he'll just walk out. It's the weirdest press conference ever. He was absolute, just the biggest PR, just like, mess up I've seen in a long time.

I was like, what are you doing? He can do it as long as he remains undefeated though. All he had to say was like, sorry I can't answer any questions and things would have been fine. But he made a situation that's already really bad or. Well, no, he just disappeared. And then the PR person would come

and then he'd like show up like it was his first time at the press conference like, hey, any questions? And then asking him to just disappear and then like reset. Like we all just forgot we saw you. It was just a bad move across the board and it would have been really a nothing burger in the media cycle had he just said, oh sorry I can't answer any questions but he walked off and now you have more attention on this already pretty bad thing that has happened. All right Lucy we appreciate it as always we're glad you had fun this weekend enjoy this weekend and my hopes for you is that you one day get yourself back to the Grove. I really want to go back to the Grove. I'll just go with whatever. There

doesn't need to be a game. I'll go. Why don't you just be in the forest? I'd like it though. It's really nice. I want to get to the Dolphins here with Billy. We have the BBBs coming up in the next segment. Monday Night Football, Pittsburgh and the Giants. Steelers win. They're in first place because the Ravens lost. Could I issue an apology? Sure.

I want to apologize sincerely for saying that Ole Miss is in the middle of the forest. I misunderstood the situation. That's Penn State. Yeah. And I was quickly corrected. I heard that it was a woodland area, so I assumed forest. Mm-hmm. Because I'm not one that ventures out into the forest.

You can't see the forest through the trees. I don't venture out into the forest or the woods. So I just want to apologize for anyone who may be upset by the insinuation that Ole Miss has a forest when it's a wooded area. I don't think like it's the SEC, it's Mississippi. You thought there was a forest there? I mean, if I'm gonna be honest with you, I assume.

You had no idea. I assume if there's just like lots of trees, it's a forest. Right. Yeah. Trees equal forest. Yeah. I assume if there's just like lots of trees, it's a forest, right? Yeah. Trees equal forest. Yeah. I understand. One's a tree. Two or three is like a tree, you know, family. Right. Four plus is a forest. Four plus

trees. Is a forest, yeah. Or a tree farm. Right. Unless they're grow, if they're growing the trees as a tree farm, if not as a forest to me. But I'm wrong and and that's why I'm apologizing. Okay, well, do we accept the apology? It doesn't sound like it, it sounds like you just wanna kinda, you know.

I'll forgive him, but I'll never forget. Yeah, yeah. Jeez. Same, yeah. Okay. Yes, Fuentes? I just don't really care about the state of Mississippi much.

All right, there we go. Way to ingratiate yourself to the state of Mississippi, I'm trying to apologize for upsetting them and you just come on. Like one of the first things you say is just poop on them for no reason. All right. Should they care to say I'm not about floorless?

They don't. Mississippi cares about Mississippi. I disagree. I disagree. I think people in Mississippi love us. If you're from Mississippi and are listening to this show, tweet at us. Hashtag I'm sorry.

All right. Again, we do have the BBBs. I want to get to the Dolphins, but this is very exciting. Mikey A has a new game, Billy. the Let's play your game, Mikey. Let's play it. Listen, if you think back to before, like when we were in Kansas City, before the season started, and I would have told you that in week eight, Geno Smith would be leading the league in passing, you would have called me crazy. You're right.

No, I would have called him crazy. I don't know. I feel like last year. You would have called me crazy. I would have called him crazy. He had a 4,000 yard season, just two seasons. I would have called him crazy still. He's leading the000 yard season, just two seasons. I would have called him crazy still. Yeah. He's in the league, I guess.

Yeah. All right, how about this? You guys wanna talk about this? Go ahead. If I would have told you back then that the Jets, Dolphins, Bengals, and Jaguars would combine for nine wins, you would have called me crazy.

I would have. By week eight, yes. By week eight, yeah. By week eight, they would have had nine wins between those four teams. You would have called me crazy. I would have called you would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I

would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would

have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. I would have. you want it. I got one more. I got one more. I said it was short. Yeah. All right. So, give us

one more if you did say it was short. I did. I said, alright, you would have called me crazy if I told you in week eight, the NFC North would have eight total losses. I would have called you crazy. Four teams. I would have called me crazy. I would have called you crazy.

I would have called me crazy. I would have called you crazy. You're right. I'm trying to come up with one right now. Are you? They're hard. I was that's why it's a short game. Well, I think the better I think the better what you would have

called me crazy if I told you through eight weeks, everyone in the NFC North has a winning record because they do. They do. Yeah, they do. They do. Everyone has a winning record. You would have called me crazy. I think eight weeks ago if I the I would have. I would have. You would have called me crazy if I told you Bo Nicks was the best

rookie quarterback of all the rookie cornerbacks. Can I can I? He might be. I mean, he might. Can I can I give you? He might. Can I give you a live? I mean, prisoner of the moment. Yeah. Can I give you a live? Because Jaden Daniels had a bad

game here. You could you could call me crazy. Yeah. I have I have a take that I I want to workshop and share with you guys. Okay. Tell me what you think. All right. Lions were fun last year, right? Yeah. Great team, everyone was rallying behind them. Yeah.

This year, not fun. They're winning by way too much. The games aren't close. I'm just, let's have a little suspense here, Lions. You're crazy. This is not a fun team to watch at the moment. I wouldn't have called you, you're crazy. No, this is not, the Lions right now are not a fun team to watch the

games are very fun against Minnesota that Minnesota game was a good guys very just because they beat the hell out of guys Jared Goff had 85 passing yards yesterday and they won by almost 40 points yeah the team is not that fun right now they're blowing teams out. Yeah. I'm sure a Detroit fan. Tennessee is not fun. You can call me crazy.

That's fine, call me crazy. I don't care. I mean, they beat the Vikings by two points. I understand they blew out Dallas 47 to nine. They're blowing teams out. The Seahawks, they blew out. I mean, they've blown out a lot of football teams. They're really good.

And they have a chance to win the football teams. They're really good. And they have a chance to win the Super Bowl. But you like the Lions when they're playing these back and forth, 38, 35. I like the scrap. You like the let's bite off the kneecaps. The juggernauts are not. They're too talented.

Yeah, they're too good right now. That's weird, man. I mean, we have two potentially fun games against the Packers and the Texans, but the Texans, I don't know. Yeah, do you know if the Texans are good? I don't know. I have no idea. I know the Chiefs are good, and I'm still not certain, and I think the Lions are good. You know the Chiefs are good? I don't know. I said I'm still not certain. Well, then you don't know the Chiefs are good.

I mean, I have a feeling they're pretty good. I mean, I have a feeling they're 7-0. I mean. It's a really easy concept. He thinks they're good, but they're not. He's not certain. I mean, they could be bad. Yeah, that's why he thinks it doesn't know it. I don't know. Maybe. But right now, they're good. Sounds crazy. The Buccaneers, we wrote

off and then yesterday, they had a chance. They throw a Hail Mary. They actually complete it, but he's out of balance at the end. Like, yeah, they play. They play the Chiefs next week. How's that one going to go? Oh, the

Chiefs will win. Probably. Probably. I still won't know if they're any good. Probably. See, the Chiefs should be doing what the Lions are doing. The Chiefs should be blowing people out and coasting and not worrying about the regular season. I feel like these are not, these are stressful wins for the Chiefs.

They have battle scars from the 7-0 that they don't need to have winning back-to-back Super Bowls. Make it easy on yourself. Why are they doing this? I don't know. It's interesting. Play better.

Play better. Well, they got Deandre Hopkins. Kelsey looked good yesterday. Oh, you got a touchdown. Well, I know, but they're free. And I just having Deandre Hopkins out there, freezes them up. They'll get Pacheco back. I mean, they're going to be good.

I just don't know if they're good now. Imagine having Hopkins and you don't really need him because he didn't do all that much yesterday. They don't need him. I was preparing the takes if they had lost that game. Sometimes, you know, just leave good enough alone. That was the take I was going with. Like you don't need to, you know, when you're eking out victories, you don't need to bring in a super store. Just leave it alone. Keep it in your back pocket. You might be able to use it next week. Yeah. But they won. Right. But they won. As soon as they lose one game, he's gonna unleash on them.

Tua was back yesterday. Tua was back yesterday. How'd you feel about it? The offense had a chance to win that game, should have won that game. Yeah, they should have won that game. Their defense, I don't know what their defense is doing. They had multiple receivers get a hundred yards on them.

The defense was the story of yesterday is why that team did not win. But a lot of guys from last year's defense, they're playing on other teams because they had to side to kill Jalen Waddle. Injuries too, you have Chubb, Chubb's still out, Jalen Phillips out again, he's out for the rest of the season. Van Ginkle is gone, and other guys have left.

Seeler misses a game for the first time in like two years. You also had Waddle dropping passes like he always, you had a number of just dropped balls that should have been caught. I'm gonna say that Waddle contract is looking like a gigantic mistake. That, yeah. Yeah, to pay a number of just dropped balls that should have been caught. I'm gonna say that waddle contract is looking like a gigantic mistake. That, yeah. Yeah, to pay a guy top five money

and then he's dropping passes and with all the other holes you have, that contract is looking really bad. I would say the McDaniel contract is looking like a mistake. I mean, I didn't think the offense was that bad yesterday. No. Yeah, but no, it's not about it being that bad yesterday.

Do it without Tua. Like that's, that's, that's- But you don't need to do it without Tua if he's healthy. I understand that, but like if you're a good offensive coordinator, if you have a good offensive mind, like you did yesterday, do it without two. Like that's that's that's a do without two if he's healthy. I understand that but like if you're a good offensive coordinator, if you have a good offensive on, you'll figure out

how to get to Reek Hill involved even when it was not there. I saw I saw a pretty good amount of film after that game, the last game where they really struggled and I thought it was on Mike McDaniel. He can't get these guys open on the scheme.

It just turned out that Heather Huntley sucked. He was terrible. He was he was grabbing the ball a lot taking off right away. He would leave clean pockets, it was just not good. And it makes total sense, that's why he was on a practice squad. Well, I mean, the offense got going again yesterday, look, night and day, the team that we saw yesterday

from the team that we've seen the last four weeks, whatever it was. Tua, I am conflicted, he went running, he went for a 13 yard run, he slid at the end, got a standing ovation, the stadium was erupting, it looked like that he just won the Super Bowl. Loudest that the stadium was. It was crazy how excited people were for the slide.

So weird. I headed into yesterday's game, I was excited to his back. I am a Tua fan, I have the Tua jersey, all of that, right? However, and this is a selfish way of me kind of processing it, because I've wanted Tua to come back for the past couple of weeks. 30 minutes before the game, 10 minutes before the game,

as the game is going on, I'm kind of like, I like the Dolphins, I wanna watch the Dolphins, I wanna watch Tua, I want him to succeed. I don't wanna see another catastrophic concussion. So I was very conflicted watching it because I was like, I'm worried for him. And I don't, and it sounds terrible. It was hard to watch before the last concussion.

I don't want to see it happen. No, before the last concussion, it wasn't because we had a full season of health and he had a great season last year. Kind of unraveled a little bit at the end of the season. Billy, I'm just telling you for me personally, since the Bills game, he's been a difficult watch. Since the Bills game a couple of years ago. It's just been hard to watch.

The Bills game? Since he had, yeah, the game where he stumbled on the field and fell. Okay. It's just been hard for me to watch. Prior to the Bengals concussion. Yes. And then the Christmas Day afters one. I know he wants to play. I'm not trying to tell him to do otherwise.

I just, it's hard to watch him because I don't want him to get play. I'm not I'm not trying to tell him to do otherwise. I just it's hard to watch him because I don't want him to get hurt like I don't want him to get hurt either. I don't want to be watching right when I don't want to see it. That's the really uncomfortable

thing like to say out loud is like I care about his health. Also, I don't want to see him get hurt. Right. I don't want him to get hurt but like it's it's hard. I don't want to tell him not to play but like right going into the game. I was like man, I'm happy it's hard. I don't want to tell him not to play but like going into the game. I was like man

I'm happy he's back. The team is going to be better If something happens, it's just going to be so bad. Yes I'm not certain they shouldn't only because they're fine with two up playing two is clearly fine playing football But at two and five in an aFC that you're not going to win Why not just rest them for the rest of the season? Why not? WellFC that you're not going to win, why not just rest them for the rest of the season? Why not? Well, no, now he's playing.

I know, but why not? I'm just saying make a football decision for your future here. Why play him on a two and five team that won't win the conference when he could spend the rest of the season resting? I mean, I'm not a neurologist

because it's not going to get better. I don't know that he doesn't go away when he plays next year. It's still going to be there. If it's there until he's done playing, I guess you're right. Hey, it's fair. Guys, guess what? But when we come back, yes, it's a tease. Hmm. When we come back, right? BBBs. Yeah, the teases ruin.

We don't have players. I thought it was going to be something else. Everyone knows it's the BBBs. It's that everyone knows. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Back after this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We have the Giants and the Steelers coming up tonight. It's a World Series night for me. It is. I'm not going to lie to you. Billy is upset at me and Mike EA for not addressing the Dolphins.

Would you like me to address them quickly here before you get to the BBBs? The Jets. I mean the Jets. Excuse me. We did address the Dolphins with Billy. No, I mean you guys are trying to avoid it. It's obvious. That's fine.

By the way, one thing that we haven't addressed is our weekly fantasy contest. Presented by Smear and Off the World's Number One Vodka. Please drink responsibly. Yesterday, I was looking good. When you get Cade Odd and off of the scrap heap and he gets you 29 points, you are sitting pretty. And by the way, it was between him and Pitts for me.

Either way, would have worked out splendid Yep, however, I've heard a game. Yeah, no one else on my team did anything I finished in 300 and something place again. So all right, that's what happens when you think you know something You just bring get brought back down to earth. All right before we get to the BBBs The Jets are lousy Aaron Rodgers is terrible. He's not good enough. They haven't scored 30 points once. They've lost five straight. They haven't won since Robert Sala was fired. Robert Sala is now working for the Green Bay Packers. It's an unmitigated disaster and I blame everything, all of it on Aaron Rodgers. I'm not going to

get comfortable with the darkness because you were supposed to lead us out of the darkness. I am tired of you. Okay. All right. That is it on the Jets. Let's get to the BBBs. They could go on a run here. You never know. I mean, I don't want to hear right. That is it on the Jets. Let's get to the BBBs. They could go on a run here. You never know. I mean, I don't want to hear that every single week and another the darkness.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's the hope that kills you. Right. The hope is gone. Yeah. Embrace the fact that the rebuild is started. Embrace it. No. You don't have to worry about them anymore. They're bad. We don't have to worry. No. You don't

have to hope. No. Is that you're having fun? Yeah. No. I'm not don't have to worry. You don't have to hope. Is out here having fun? Yeah. No, I'm not having fun. It's been 40 years of darkness. He was supposed to lead me out of the dark. I don't have to care anymore.

I don't have to care anymore. All right. You're right. All right. It's time for Billy's best big words brought to you by we're still waiting on a sponsor here. We'll get to it soon. Feldman, get on it.

So anyway, I don't know why I'm calling up my name. So this this last week, four and two on the season, 2011. Wow. Way to go. We've been hot this season. The first one that I'm gonna go with, TJ Watt over.25 sacks. .20, I mean. That means you just have to get half a sack.

Half a sack, right. Now, he only has four and a half sacks this season. He hasn't had a sack since week five. However. He's due. Daniel Jones is a sack magnet. He's been sacked 21 times this year already. Only Deshaun Watson has been sacked more times at 33. I like that.

TJ Watt over 0.25 sacks. I like a sack magnet. Like something you stick on the fridge. That's how magnets work. Daniel Jones is a fridge and he has past rushes stuck to them. They just attract him. All right, my next one, Chris Boswell, over one and a half field goal. All right, the Boz. Yeah.

He's had a decent season. The only thing that's I think is right. Stop him from kicking the two field goals, not misses, even though there's been a lot of. Yeah. By the way, your jets, we didn't talk about it enough. Greg Zerline, he should be caught. Six missed field goals, not misses, even though there's been a lot of misses. By the way, you're Jets, we didn't talk about it. Enough. Greg Zerline. He should be cut. Six missed field goals this season leads the NFL.

Enjoy the darkness. Bad season. Yeah. All right, so you have over one and a half for Boswell. Yeah, I think the only thing. Because when Tomlin's kicking field goals, he's got you right where he wants you. See, I was gonna go with an over and field goals

for the game or over and field goals for the Giants. Right. But I feel for the Giants. But I feel like the Giants are in a position where we're just going for it now every time. We're not kicking field goals anymore. The field goal kicker hasn't been great this season. But also I feel like we're coaching for our jobs at this point so we're not settling for field goals.

Next one and last one, Russell Wilson over one and a half touchdown. Not gonna do any time with him. He's not gonna be running anywhere. He's gonna be throwing the ball. Russell Wilson over one and a half touchdown. Yeah. Not going to do anytime with him. He's not going to be running anywhere. He's going to be throwing the ball. Russell Wilson over one and a half touchdown. Alright, he's twenty and eleven on the season with the BBBs. Russell Wilson playing himself back into the Hall of Fame. Amazing.

Is it? No, I'll be watching. Yeah, he's not. Terrible game tonight. God bless football everyone. Feeling lucky? Put your money in larceny-wheated bourbon where your mouth is.
