So big games yesterday, two games, not one, but two Monday night football games coming up tonight. And we have the college football playoff that gets underway this week. So, a very exciting time Billy. We also had our national championship on Saturday. We get to Lucy. She's in studio

today. We're gonna get to Lucy. Nice. Shortly for a national championship. Spoiler alert. A bit of surprise. National championship. Yeah. Little surprising the results there. It was. Yeah. Yeah. But really, we all won if we're gonna be

honest with you. Yep. Both teams win, everyone wins, yes. Stugats, I think this is a good time to remind you that Godless Football is presented by Smyrnaf. We do game days, please drink responsibly. The Smyrnaf Company, New York, New York. I have a lot of things to get to today. Really? If you want them, yes.

I have Winners and Losers presented by Smyrnaf. I have my Billy's Big Board Bets brought to you by Bookie, and there's two games today So, you know what that means what we got a bonus board really? Yeah, no way Six bets today to them. I'm not gonna tell you how many bets two boards today We have my winners and losers as you said, yes Mikey wants to play an edition of if the season ended today Wow, and we also we also an addition of if the season ended today. Wow.

And we also, we also have another quick addition of We Good. Huh? Because I feel like We Good has to be a quick game. Where do you want to start, though? I mean, so many games, so many things to get to. Billy's been railing the entire time before we got started here. The Raiders haven't named a starter yet. I mean, where do you want to start?

Well, here's the thing, right? There was a big game yesterday. There's arguably two big games yesterday that everybody was really excited about. One delivered, one was, eh, it was fine. It was okay. Yeah. It was all right, it was all right.

This is what I'm thinking I'm gonna do with winners and losers today. I'm thinking winners and losers we're gonna weave in and out because I want to share my winners and losers as we're talking about the games. Because if I just go right off the bat to winners and losers right away, Right. We're just gonna be all over the place. We're not gonna have any flow. We're not about the games. Because if I just go right off the bat to winners and losers right away, we're just going to be all over the place.

We're not going to have any flow. We're not going to do anything. So I feel like the game that we should be talking about is Bill's Lions, correct? Yes. That was the game yesterday. It was a great game yesterday. A lot of people questioning Dan Campbell, the onside kick,

with 10 minutes to go. They're down 10. I don't like the onside kick rule. No. I don't like the onside kick rule. No. I don't like the fact that you have to announce that you're doing an onside

kick. Like I'm okay if you I get the spirit of the rule. I understand the safety of the rule. I get all of it. Okay? But an onside kick is supposed to be element of surprise. Mm. And you have totally taken that out of the NFL. You have.

I mean, what's the point of doing an onside kick when you have to tell the team you're doing an onside kick? Uh is it crazy that so he did the onside kick with like 12 minutes left in the game. Is it crazy that when it happened I'm like, this kind of makes sense. Cuz like they just. Cuz the defense is so bad. It's very dead camp. They couldn't stop the Bills whatsoever. The game felt like it had already gotten away from them even though they were getting back into it and they were only down by 10. And also, Mac Hollens almost ran it back for a touchdown, which would have been great because I had Mac Hollens yesterday in our weekly fantasy contest. Really? Presented by SmearNut. Yeah.

World's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. Yesterday, a bit of a revenge week for me. I guess I shouldn't say revenge week because the last two weeks I finished like a hundred and... No, last week I finished like 59th and then yesterday I believe I finished in like the 130s at the end of the thing. But here's what happened. But again, two weeks ago I finished 59th, yesterday I finished 139th. Here's the thing. I figured out a strategy, I figured out what works and what doesn't work in this league.

I was also gifted 22 points by the Broncos. 22 points by your defense. You should be winning. Yes. Should be winning. Now, Derrick Henry, get me more than 6.7 points. If I'm gonna be honest with you, Derrick Henry. It's his fault.

Sure. Horrific performance. Alan Lazard, zero points. That's fine, he's Alan Lazard, and he was really like the cheap guy that you go and you get so that you can waste all your money on other players. Right, that guy.

But here's the thing, Mack Hollins, had he returned that touchdown. Oh, oh. Yeah. Daddy would have been celebrating yesterday, I'm telling you right now because he only got one point seven points but those like six points,

they probably would have catapulted him to like 50 points. You know why Jerry Henry struggled? Why? Who's that? He cut his hair, yeah. Oh, he cut his hair, Yeah. Oh, I'm glad Mike Prentice got that in. He gave it. He told us right before and he said, don't go to me at all today. You can't go to

me because we're a person down. Yeah. He's like, I need to be cutting. I need to be doing these things during the show. Don't go to me at all, but I'm glad I did the haircut thing. I was aware of that. Now he was trying to tell me through the glass without telling me that he got a haircut. Yeah. So he was using his fingers. Yeah, he was trying to tell me through the glass without telling me that he got a haircut. Yeah. So, he's using his his fingers. Yeah, he was

doing one of those. So, finger scissors. Finger scissors. Winners and losers presented by Spear and Off the World's Number One Vodka. Please drink responsibly. I thought that one of our winners was the audience because Mike Fuentes wasn't

going to be able to talk today. Right. He found a way. So, losers, you, America. Are we doing winners or losers now? I was just going to point out the Bills offense in the last three games, 17 touchdowns, no turnovers, no sacks. The only team since 1970 to do that in three consecutive games.

That is absurd. It's Josh Allen's time. I am here to announce it is Josh Allen's time. Last week, you said that he's not going to win anything because of Sean McDermott. And you also said that Patrick Mahomes is going to keep him from ever winning a Super Bowl. This guy is so good. He can overcome Patrick Mahomes and his own head coach,

Sean McDermott. How about that? All right. All right. This is what we're going to do here. It's his time, Billy. We're going to do. Hold on.

Can I get my loser in? Because Fuente's totally joking. We didn't do anything. We didn't start anything yet. I'm glad. Hold on a second. Jesus. Let's get control of this situation, Billy.

Winners and losers is presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. I have two applicable winners slash losers from this Bill's and Lion's game. And it sounds like Mikey A may have one as well. And I think Stugatsch just gave us one. I'm going to give you a winner real quick, Mikey. Okay. And then we'll go to you.

Sure. And then I'll go to kind of a confusing situation in my head, which is gonna be more confusing for all of you. Because normally, things make sense in my head and still don't make sense out loud. So, big winner from yesterday's game, the Bills and Lions.

Winners and losers presented by Spear and Off, the world's number one vodka. I got it. Winner? Yeah. The Detroit Lions. Finally got that much needed loss. They now have that chip on their shoulder.

They have adversity that they have set up for a potential Super Bowl revenge game. Winners in that game, the Detroit Lions. Not the Bills who won the game, the losers. Correct. They needed a win, they needed a loss and this was the loss that they needed to the Bills. Yes.

Not a dumb, ticky tacky loss against a team like the Bears or something. This is the game that they needed to the bills. Yes. Not a dumb tiki-taki loss against a team like the Bears or something. This is the game that they needed to lose and they lost it. Mikey? My loser is me but I wasn't going because of this game. I was going because of the other game. The game presented by Smirnoff, our weekly fantasy. Yeah. Because I finished in 510th place and I'm pretty sure only 500 people participate. Oh it was 511 actually. We start nine positions. I have eight of them have the snowflake. I scored 53 points. 53 wow. Wow. I didn't know it was possible. Yeah. So next week, big bounce back week. 511 is impressive. Yeah, so Mikey's right.

This is what happens. I've seen that 511 people registered. You finished 510th. 510th. The leaderboard only shows the top 500. So I can't even see what the person in last place. The person in the last place could have theoretically just not submitted a roster.

Like reserve the spot, not submitted a roster like reserve the spot not submitted a roster and they they are the only person that finished behind you. I have a winner Billy. Do you? I do. Okay. Nick Sirianni. Wow. I mean all the criticism that everyone calls

Mike Tomlin the greatest. He's won one Super Bowl. Hold on a second. What? We're jumping from game to game. This is I was trying to try to tell you we're getting this under control here. Jesus. Okay. I mean, there's a lot going on. I'm trying to get it all in. We're gonna get there.

I have, I'm gonna, I'm erasing that. I forgot that you said Nick Sirianni. Okay. Okay. I have another winner or loser. Everyone else forget that. From this game. And this is the dilemma. I don't know if this person is a winner or a loser.

Okay. Okay. It is Jared Goff. 494 passing yards, five touchdowns. Winner. Not sure if he's a winner or a loser. Winner. the game. Yeah, because after that game and after that performance, people are doubling down on. Yeah, Josh Allen is the MVP of the league. No one is even talking about what Jared Goff did in

yesterday's game. Yeah, but I like that. Pretty incredible. Yeah, but I like that's why he's a winner to me because not only are the Lions winners by losing, Dan Campbell gets to hit the reset button and now no one is talking about Jared

Goff and I like that. That's why I wanted the Lions to lose. Now, they could fly under the radar just a little bit. Yeah, but everyone should be talking about Jared Goff almost having 500 yards and five touchdowns and no one is talking about

him and Jared Goff is also a question mark of like how's Jared Goff going to keep you in one of these games? Is Jared Goff going to like excel when he needs to pass? Right. To pass the entire game has almost 500 yards, five touchdowns. No

one's talking about him. But what I'm saying is that's a good thing for Jared Goff. Let him talk about Jordan Love. Let the every other quarterback. This is why the Lions needed that loss desperately. Okay. So, for the record, we have Jared Goff down as a winner. I'm going to put down winner. Yeah. Winner. I was confused. Winner or. You were asking us. Yeah. Winner. By the way. I love that Stu Gots keeps saying they keep doing all this when he really means me because he's the one doing it and Jared Goff has now lost a game where he threw five touchdowns and won a game where he threw five interceptions. That's football That's a winner to me. Yes

That's a winner to me. Yeah All right So by the way, if you want to participate in winners and losers you can tweet at us just tag any of us and say is Jared Goff a winner or loser? Can I go back to the winner or loser? Can I give you a loser now? Yeah. Yeah, let's go Let's go. I can yeah. Are you sure? Yeah or a winner? Can I give you a winner? Well, you haven't given us either yet. I'm gonna give you a winner first Nick Sirianni. Oh, wow the Nick Sirianni undressed Mike Toblin yesterday. Sirianni's also only won one Super Bowl. Well, no, he hasn't won a Super Bowl. He's been to a

Super Bowl, but he almost beat the Chiefs, which is as good as as winning a Super Bowl. No, almost beating the Chiefs in a Super Bowl is as good as winning a Super Bowl against another team. How about that? Wow. That makes no sense.

Billy is wondering what I'm saying here. I am because you discounted him winning a Super Bowl to Nick Sirianni who choked in a Super Bowl and I honestly forgot. I'm saying here. I I am because you discounted him winning a Super Bowl to Nick Sirianni who who choked in a Super Bowl and I honestly forgot. I was like, yeah, Nick Sirianni. Yeah.

Cuz he should be. Sure. People think he should be fired. They won ten straight franchise record. They've won ten straight. I believe his career record is like 45 and 19 or something like that. Yeah, but he just looks like someone

that should be fired. Does he? Yeah, he gives off you should be fired vibes, right? He does, yeah. I see that. He also gives off, You're right, Billy. He does. He also gives off like boss that fires you on Christmas vibes, right?

He's like, not my fault, and then he takes your bonus. Is that what he does? Because we let you go before the new year, you're not entitled to a bonus, sorry. No, and it's mine now. Yes. Is that, I mean, that's probably mean to say. I didn't say that.

You did say. You guys said that. No, you said it. This game was dangerous. By the way, big situation in that game. That game was one of the games that we thought like, wow, this is going to be one of the games of the weekends. And I'm not really kind of living up to it.

I will tell you at 425 though, first half, those two games split screened. It was heavenly. Yeah. But Bill kind of living up to it. I will tell you at 425 though, first half, those two games split screened. Yeah. It was heavenly. Yeah, but Bill's Lions lived up to it. Steelers, Eagles didn't also kind of concerning TJ Watt left the game with a lower ankle injury. So, we kind of. Yes.

Have to pay attention to that. See what's going on. Well, about Mahomes, he left the game with an injury. Yeah. Yeah. Patrick Mahomes. MRI is negative. Yeah. Well, and Nick Chubb also left that game with a broken foot. If we're just doing an injury roundup, Nick Chubb broke his foot in that game.

And the thing about Patrick Mahomes that's concerning, also injury roundup, Tommy Devito got a concussion and Alvin Kamara left the game with an injured groin after making an incredible touchdown catch. That is the injury roundup presented by Smirnoff. It's not presented by Smirnoff, but everything is. We might as well present an injury roundup here. But why did we start doing an injury roundup?

Well, we were talking about an injury, and then you just started throwing out injuries, so I figured I'd give you all the injuries. Well, you just we were talking about an injury and then you just started throwing out injuries. So I figured I was talking about injuries that people care about. No one cares about Tommy Devito or Alvin Kimora. Well,

here's the thing. Fantasy playoffs. Yes. Yeah. Here's the thing. I I almost I almost had Tommy Devito. I almost had Tommy Devito in an interception parlay that I that I was going to put in yesterday. Really? Yeah. An interception parlay. It was gonna put in yesterday. Really? Yeah, an interception parlay. It was gonna be Jamis Winston, Will Levis,

Baker Mayfield, and Tommy DeVito. Interception parlay. All of them hit except Tommy DeVito and it's because he got a concussion. Here's the thing about Patrick Mahomes. That sounds like a fun parlay. It was gonna be a fun one. It was just a three of firsts.

I wish I participated. Tommy DeVito was the last one that was gonna be added in there. Right. Yeah be a fun one. It was just a three of firsts. I wish I participated. Tommy Devito was the last one that was gonna be added in there. Right. Yeah, didn't get it in before the game started though. So here's the thing about Patrick Mahomes that is slightly concerning, I guess, if you're a Chiefs fan.

One is the fact that he's injured. Two is that the Chiefs play, I believe, three games in 13 days. So they had yesterday, they have, and here is one of my final winners and losers of this week presented by Spirit of the World's number one vodka. Winner, us, cause you know what happens this weekend?

What? The return of Saturday games. Oh, my favorite. Oh, boy, we have some good ones. We have Texans and Chiefs and we have Steelers and Ravens. Yes. In our Saturday games this weekend. Now, the Chiefs will likely be, I would think,

without Patrick Mahomes as a result of the injury. They have three games in 13 days. They had yesterday's game, they have Saturday's game, and then they have a Christmas Wednesday game. Right. So we have a situation where Chiefs could drop two free games and lose a bye if Patrick Mahomes doesn't get healthy quick because you have Carson Wentz who's gonna come in here and she's, they won by 14 points, but it wasn't like a super impressive victory. That's how they've been winning all year though. But I understand what you're saying.

Yeah, but the Browns turned the ball over like six times. Well, that's what James does. You can't plan for that. No, but I'm saying the Bills, even with that impressive win yesterday, the Bills who lost last weekend, the weekend before, they're two games back in the loss column. So we're talking about the Chiefs having to lose, you know, a couple of games, the weekend the weekend before. There are two games back in the

loss column. So, we're talking about the Chiefs having to lose you know, a couple of games which I don't think they're going to do by the way. They could do it in the next two weeks. They could they could lose those two games in like

the next 10 days. I mean, the Texans were not that impressive. Yeah. They could beat the Texas at home with Carson Wentz. They can. It. Yeah. That's it. Carson Wentz though. I know but Texans didn't look good yesterday. They did not. Isaiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt. Yeah. Spags. Yeah Spags. Spags. Spags has had a bit of a rollercoaster year this year, huh? He's the MVP. Oh, okay

Definitely not but okay. I want to say that okay All right. We do not ignore college football here on God Bless Football. Lucy in studio next.

Lucy, she's right next to you. I do. Ha ha ha ha ha! Well, why'd you play a guessing game, I mean? Well, I wasn't sure if you... Yeah, and I also didn't know if the audience could see her or not. Even though we said Lucy's gonna be here, the person said, Hey Lucy, there's one college game, why are you here?

I don't know. I really have no idea. I thought I had the weekend off! I thought I had the weekend off! No, there's lots of college news to get to. There was only one college game, it was our national championship. We've said many times, thank you for your service to the Army and the Navy. Even though the Navy... Who, IFYS? What a disservice they did to the Army.

The Army's having such a good year, they should be in the playoffs. And then the Navy disservice they did to the Army. Army's having such a good year. You can't argue they should be in the playoffs and then the Navy said, nope, not on our watch. That was, it's one of those games where it's like very Michigan, Ohio state in the sense like really doesn't matter how you've been playing up until that point. It's just a rivalry that means so much more, but like, holy s***, Blake Horvath,

you didn't have to do all that. You didn't have to do that to him. That might have been disrespectful. But yeah, it was a good game. I think I heard the broadcasters be like, this is the first time in five years they've scored over 20 points. We were like, oh my God, that's crazy.

Said that we're going too far, Army Navy. We need to slow down. This is changing times. I need something to stay steady. So Lucy, we were talking right before we came back on air here and we were discussing what a great day Saturday is. something to stay steady. So, the comment that you're not certain how you feel about college going up against the NFL. Oh, I'm certain how I feel it. I don't like it. I don't like it even a little bit. I just think that when you're doing the first ever first round of the playoff at home sites, like maybe don't go

up against the giant that's the NFL. Well, it's not it's not their fault. The NFL is it. Yeah, it's the NFL's fault. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's Saturday and that's our day. Well it's not it's not their fault. The NFL is it fringing here if we're gonna be honest with you. Because it's Saturday and that's our day that is not your day you have a day you have a million days so I don't love that just cuz I think it's gonna take away from like what this entire just like season has come to what the entire you know last 150 years of college football has come to. First round of the 12-team playoff and I have to compete with the NFL? I would say that the NFL, they've been doing the Saturday games mid-December.

Doesn't love them. Well, no, because the college the college season is usually done by this point. And you should have said, hey, thank you college football for giving us your talent, for letting us take them eventually. We understand that you have paved the way. We will take a step back and we'll just do what we already do. Yeah. And we'll just keep our normal day.

Say NFL, you're gonna have Wednesday in a couple weeks. Yeah, you have all the days. Exactly right. You already took Christmas. Yeah, from the NBA. Why didn't you do Saturday from us? Even though a segment ago I was praising the Saturday NFL games, Rebecca. I'm really excited about that. Disag though a segment ago, I was praising that Saturday

about that. Disagree. But hey, why can't we have both though, Billy? Like, why can't we, why can't we be excited for the fact that we have two good NFL games? You have Ravens and Steelers, Chiefs and Texans, and you have the three college football

games. Like, why can't we have it all? I mean, we can't have it all. I'll be watching it all. Yeah, I'm sure. I'm, look, sharing is caring. I'm perfectly fine with us having it all on that same day Like don't don't look at me. This is a Lucy problem. Not not to point fingers, but Lucy situation by the way, the college football playoff starts on Friday. I know what you're stealing from high school football We're gonna really be pointing fingers here Lucy. Thank you for the talent high school

We're all watching high school football That's my actual top priority. Wait, their season's over now, so I don't feel bad about it. It is state championship time. Right, but your season's usually over. No. No, this is bowl season. I know, but no one cares about those magics.

Oh, how dare you, sir. That is so disrespectful, because guess what? If this had been a year ago, we would spend our Saturdayss watching the Jimmy Kimmel Bowl and it would have been awesome. I'll have you know, Stu Gots, that everyone still very much cares about the bowls, which is why Marshall pulled out of the bowls because half of their team transferred out of the school and then Armie, who's playing in the Independence Bowl

because obviously Armie's playing in the Independence Bowl. Where else would they be? See? They wouldn't have had a bowl game, but hey, five and seven Louisiana Tech fills in, so boom, Independence Bowl is back on. That's crazy that Marshall's entire team transferred. They're like, we don't have a team,

we can't play this game. So they won the Sun Belt, went 10 and three, and then immediately their coach was like, I'm out. I'm going to Southern Mississippi. And then the whole team also was like, hey, we're leaving. We have no one left. They had to opt out of this bowl game, which like, I know that Army kind of got their shit rocked

by Navy this week, but Army's a good football team that deserves the chance to play another good football team in a bowl game. Like I think Army would have wanted to play a 10 and three team rather than a five and seven team. And so it's just this very weird sort of like, okay, clearly we have some issues we have to address within the sport if

an entire team is transferring. You also have something kind of similar with Penn State's backup quarterback has entered the portal. So he's not going to be a part of the playoff at all. He won't be traveling with Penn State. He's entering the portal right now because and Lane Kiffin talked about it earlier this week about how the system is set up so poorly. We're like, I have to prep for my bowl game right now, but I also have to like be very active in the transfer portal. So I think they're going to end up changing those windows. That is crazy. Like what if Penn State's starting quarterback gets hurt? Exactly. But also at the same time, you're like, well, this kid's going to want to like, Drew Aller is clearly the football, the future of Penn State football. Like he probably wants a starting job somewhere. We'd love to have you at Iowa, come on down.

But like you don't want to miss out on that opportunity, but also like in the day and age where the transfer portal moves so quickly in quarterbacks and are pretty much already knowing where they're gonna go. Like you need to have the ability to be in that space earlier. They just are gonna have to change the windows because I think it's too difficult

for coaches and players. Well, that's the thing. Changing the window till after the bowl season seems like it makes the most sense because you're in a situation Where a lot of the teams that weren't bowl eligible, which Louisiana Tech was not they were five and seven. They are already off campus They left they're not practicing anymore So there was a situation where there was a question as to whether or not they were gonna even find a team to play Army They may have had to cancel that bowl It seems like you gotta change the window so that half your teams are not gone or players aren't gone from half your teams.

No, it's the whole thing. The system just seems to be, there's so much about college football that's just incredibly broken and this is just one of the small parts of it, but like, I don't know if you're ever gonna see anything like what we saw with Marshall. I guess you probably will now that the system is changing

where a whole team opted out, a whole team transferred. They left and they didn't leave after a bad season. They left after a great season. It's crazy. Lucy, we all watch college football on TV. We occasionally go to the game, but you, you're in the ruckus. So I want to get your opinion on what Ohio State,

I love a good ruckus. Ohio representative Josh Williams is trying to do, which is to make flag planting a felony. Oh God, that's so stupid. That's the dumbest. It's like also Ohio, they're just going through some weird things right now. The loss to Michigan has like pushed them over the edge.

Like that is a very like unwell fan base. It's an unwell state right now. Everything is just off. Yeah, making it a felony, that's just like the biggest, like you already lost and now, and you already had that whole issue with the flag painting and the pepper spray and what happened to Rose and all these things.

And you're just making it look dumber. That's on the top of everyone's list is what happened to Rose. You're just like making the situation so much worse. And like, it's so funny too. One of my favorite parts about the college football playoff selection show which I don't have many of them because why are we talking about this for four hours let's just let's get to the point was Kirk Herb Street coming out and being

like Ohio State is hosting a home playoff game and I know for a fact their fans are gonna boo their own team because they're so mad. Their fans are gonna be booing their own team and their own coaches. Can I ask you a question before we get to previewing the playoffs this weekend, which I kind of did already. The Heisman happened on Saturday. It did. We're not talking about it, and there seemed to be

somewhat of outrage with Travis Hunter winning over Ashton Gentry. Oh, I thought you were gonna talk about his girlfriend. There seems to be a lot of outrage with his girlfriend. over Ashton Gentry. Oh, I thought you were talking about his girlfriend. There seems to be a lot of outrage with his girlfriend. Listen, what happened with the girlfriend? I don't want to get involved in that situation, but that look we've on the record. I love love. I've stated before I love love. You're on the record. On the record. Okay. I love love. Right. However, we've had now a number of incidents where it seems as though this might not work out. No, it's, I don't want to comment on it.

I'm not, I love, just, on the front end, I love love. Just say that and then you should be fine. Unless you don't love love. Wait, hold on. Oh wait, and they're engaged. Hold on, yeah, we need to get Lucy on the record of how she feels about love. Right, I think love is overrated.

You love love, yes. I love love, you think it's overrated? Yes. My parents are divorced. So love's not for you. Love is dead. Love is dead, okay, good. Love is dead. All right, good, we have a wise. It's overrated. You love love. I love love. You think it's overrated? Yes. My parents are divorced. So, love's not for you. Love is dead. Love is dead. Okay, good. Love is

dead. Alright, good. We have a wide. It's overrated. A wide spectrum of love here. I don't know why I'm writing this down but I'm going to put where we all are on the spectrum here. I love it. I love love here and then

Stugats thinks it's overrated and then Lucy says it's dead. So, Lucy's is probably I guess even further overrated. Well, what about Mikey A? Mikey A, how do you feel about love? Oh, big thumbs up. Mikey. Hey, Mikey, how do you feel about love? Oh, big thumbs

up. Okay. Good for Mikey. No one gives a thumbs up. I think I didn't give a smile. And no one says I'm out of here. I'm off to southern Mississippi. No one says it. Yeah. Alright. So, if I'm gonna be honest with you, I just say I love love so

then I can say negative things about love. Love's fine. So, we'll put Mikey loves love the most. Do you love love or is love fine? I mean, those are two very different things. Well, you say it's overrated and Lucy says it's dead, which is very sad. Anyway, so Stu gots, you don't know about the situation. There's been a number of incidents

between Travis Hunter and his girlfriend where it seems like- Fiance, I believe, actually. Yes, Fiance, correct. Which that was jarring to learn. Yeah, they don't seem to be on the same page. They don't. A couple weeks ago, he was celebrating a big win and she seemed upset with the fact

that he was celebrating the win. I think cheerleaders may have been involved, but I'm not 100% sure on that situation. Right. It was like after senior day or something and he was like trying to go over to celebrate with her and she was just having absolutely none of it. And then so this weekend at the Heisman ceremony after he won, so he gets up, he's obviously very emotional and very well deserving of the Heisman. I understand why he won.

I would have voted for Ash and Gentie, but I don't have a vote because no one believes in me. And love is dead. And so, but Travis Hunter, so he gets up to celebrate and Dion and his mom and Shador, they're all standing up. Dion's like crying almost, like he's so, so happy. And his fiance is just sitting there and Dion has to nudge her to stand up

because she didn't stand up. So he goes, gives her a hug, immediately sits back down. Everyone else is still celebrating and we're like, oh, okay, whatever. I didn't think much of it. And then the next day, Travis signed with Adidas. And so he was at like an Adidas event, which, you know, congratulations, set for life,

well deserved, and he's doing like fan pictures. It was a fan event that he was scheduled to be at. And she's sitting there and as someone's taking the picture, you can hear her be like, what am I supposed to do? Just sit here the whole time? And I say, oh, that's not a good look. He just won the Heisman. Be nice to him.

Right. Yes, it's his moment, not yours. It's a little, yeah. It's concerning. And again, I love love, even though a minute ago I told you, I don't. But I love love. Well, love is fine, I thought. Love is blind. I'm also a little like, I love love even though a minute ago I told you I was like I don't but I love love Well love is fine. I thought love is blind. I'm also a little like I don't know. I don't know. I don't know

I have kids. I hope this one works out for the two of you, but I'm also I'm starting to see a little bit of red flags here. Oh, yeah, but not to point any fingers I'm not gonna blame anyone in this relationship. I don't know if it's him I don't know if it's right on who it is. Just we're not aligned here, it would seem. But congrats on the Heisman though. Yeah, congrats on the Heisman. Little Wayne was there. I have some Lucy's or Goosies for you, if you'd like. Yes. And it relates to the Heisman Trophy, as a matter of fact.

So Lucy or Goosie, you agree with Ashton Gentey when he says he should have walked out of that place with the trophy. I agree. Ashton Gentey has had the best season a running back has had since Barry Sanders. Yeah. And I also think it's important to note that he was like a hundred something yards off of breaking his single season record. Ashton Gentry set out eight quarters this year because Boise

State was beating their opponents so bad. So like you could, you know, very reasonably say that if he had played full games, he would have broken that record. And I understand this different times.

It doesn't take anything away from what Barry Sanders did, but like he's had the best season of running back broken that record. And I understand it's different times. It doesn't take anything away from what Barry Sanders did. But like he's had the best season of running back in college football has had in an insanely long time. And if you look at his numbers compared to like Derek Henry, when he won the Heisman, Ash and Gentie has had a better season. He just had the misfortune of having this season the same year. There's a generational two-way player which we also have not seen in a very long time. So like I'm not upset by any means that

the the Heisman went to Travis Hunter but I would have voted for Ash and Gentie. Lucy or Goosey regardless of what Indiana does here in the playoff, they'll be looking for a new head coach next year. I'm going to say Goosey on that unless something crazy happens and Tennessee just like whomps Ohio State and they're like, fine, we're gonna do it. Ryan Day, we're pulling the plug.

I don't see any job opening up with the exception of LSU or Ohio State in the, definitely not right now, but in the near future that I think Kurt Signetti would leave for. And the only reason I say LSU is because I just think he's got go Tiger vibes. Do you think that Ohio State losing in the first round

is the only way they'd get rid of Ryan Day? No, I don't think so. It's my next one, Billy. I think it really depends on like, if you lose on a last, you know, a game winning field goal or something, that's not worth firing a coach that has one of the highest winning percentages

in college football. I do understand that like coming off the Michigan loss fans are kind of ready for a change. If you get like your racked against Tennessee if Tennessee goes off which by the way Tennessee does not have that phenomenal of an offense. If Tennessee really you know makes a statement against Ohio State then yeah I could see them firing Ryan Day I just don't think it's going to happen because it's genuinely so unreasonable. I meant more so like if they win this game and then they get wrecked by Oregon or they just lose a close game to Oregon.

I don't think they're going to fire Ryan Day. Because if you advance to the second round of the playoff, that's still incredibly impressive. You're one of the eight best teams in college football. I just think the only thing that I'm going to push back on myself for is that we have to remember this isn't a rational bunch. This isn't a bunch that's thinking clearly. They're trying to implement laws to ban flag planning. Like they're not they're not thinking straight right now. Yeah, the AD did come

out and say that Ryan Day would absolutely be back regardless of what happens. Yeah, that's what you always say. You're not buying it. No, you never what you always say. You're not buying it? No, you never say you're coaching for your job. Never say that. Buying or not buying, new game, I like it. It's also never a good sign when the AD has to say, yeah, he's coming back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's coming back. Had to go out of his way. Which is crazy. Which is insane. It's a 10-1 team. Where one of 12 teams remaining, yeah, my coach will be back. Every time like, every time you have to announce that, you're always in a bad situation.

You are. If Bill Belichick, Lucy or Goosey, if Bill Belichick stays at UNC for five years, they'll win a national championship. Goosey? Sorry. Sorry. Goosey?

I go Lucy. I mean. Well, the big thing is like, if Bill Belichick stays for five years Let's just know did you see Bill Belichick has a buyout that good? It's like it's a million dollars It I believe so I don't know if I may have gotten like interneted on this but I believe his buyout drops from like ten million dollars You're a million dollars in June 2025 or before coaching a single game.

But you guys understand for the purpose of Lucy or Goosie, it had to position it that way, okay? If he stays at UNC for five years. I think it's Goosie. I am not the world's biggest fan of this hire. I think they're very much trying to do what Colorado has done, but with someone who does not have the personality to appeal to college kids. I just think that this is more of a move to make the press conference higher, to make the flashy higher, which is not a bad move because I'm assuming UNC's NIL donations are up, I'm assuming donations to the football program are up. I think this is a move to make money, make headlines, potentially get some viewership

numbers especially because like UNC is mostly I would say the hottest commodity in the ACC right now when it comes to like the potential future of conference realignment everyone wants UNC. Could you imagine so he comes in he raises 75, and the NFL team is like, you know what? We need Bill. And then he leaves. Million dollar buyout, but he raised $75 million for a school he never coaches for. See, that's not the worst plan in the world.

He leads it to his son, though. But also, like. Wait, hold on. Should his son get the team if he never coaches a game? Because I feel like no. His son shouldn't get the team, period, OK? Learn. If he coaches for five years

I've been here. Okay, I can tell you what it's like. You know what sons involved with your football team. It's a bad thing I'm with Billy though. He has to coach at least a game. Yeah How about like I know this is in college but you got you see the rumors that Bill Belichick was poking around the Jets. Yeah, that's crazy the audacity Audacity of Bill Belichick why I mean he resigned but on a napkin You would have taken him in a heartbeat. I would have yeah, no Absolutely shut up Mikey. No would have you've 100% would have we don't need bill You what do you want him to resign? Kyle Ubrick? Get out of here. Jeff Ubrick, whatever his name is. I

want a young coach. I do. Why did you call him Kyle? I don't know. It should be a Kyle though. Hey. Yeah. Anyways. Lucy or Goosey, SMU could upset Penn State. I'm going to go Lucy. I don't think they will though. I think this game being

in Happy Valley makes all the difference. And not only just cause their fans are phenomenal, that's a great place to play. State college in late December is no joke. And SMU, they don't, they're not familiar with that in Dallas. Like you have one freakishly cold day a year and the whole state shuts down.

I just think that Penn State, I was so impressed with them at the Big Ten Championship game. I was shocked by how well they moved the ball, how easy they were able to score. Drowler looked really, really good. I think Penn State's clicking right now and I also think it helps Penn State

looking at the playoff and knowing they probably have the best draw out of anybody. SMU and then they'll go play Boise State after. I have to be feeling pretty confident if I'm Penn State right now, but then I remember, oh no, James Ricklund is my head coach, and that goes down a little bit,

but I don't think SMU will win, but I'm sure anybody can win. It's the 12 best teams in college football. When you were at Happy Valley, there was the Ohio State game, I believe. They were pissed off because they were playing at noon. This is a noon scheduled kickoff. Yeah, they don't like noon games.

I wish it was a night game. That is a atmosphere, a stadium, a fan base that deserves night games. It is really, really just one of the best venues in college football and their fans are electric. I think though that the fact that it's not Ohio State is going to make them more excited. I think there's always like a sort of like a weird vibe in the air when Ohio State is there. They deserve night games. However, when Ohio State is there they deserve night games However, and this Saturday slate they deserve something kickoff. Yeah, well they got you know

That's the matchup that everyone was like, okay, but it's still at the same time. Oh, it's cute SMU is in. We're saying oh, okay They're still the these are the 12 best teams in college football like there's still something to be excited about Is Levitard getting you into Texas this week or what? Lucy, fingers crossed. Where are you going? She wants to go to Texas. You don't know. I really want to go to Texas.

Yeah. Yeah. Texas doesn't really want me there that much. But I think that my personality and my good vibes will change. I can call Chris Sims. I can ask Ricky Williams. I mean, I'm I'm happy to do that but no but Dan's on it like Dan's on it. Oh yeah. Yeah. He has a lot of

no no no Lucy chose Dan. She didn't choose me. If she if you come to me, listen, COB today, if you come to me, I will get it done. Okay. If you want to rely on Dan, that's your choice but I will actually get it done. Alright. I'll put you guys in a

group chat. Alright. Wow. And by me, I mean, Major Applewhite will get it done. Lucy, thank you. Wow. And by me, I mean, major Applewhite. We'll get it done. Lucy, thank you. Thank you for sharing your college football Saturday with the NFL. Uh they appreciate it very much. I'm sorry. I know it

hurts you. It does. Disrespectful. You want the day all to yourself. It's my day. You're not going to get it. The NFL rules. Uh alright. Thank you, Lucy. We appreciate it. Coming up next, if the season ended today. Lucy's

just walking away. Bye, Lucy. the Uber ride up to 90 days in advance. See Uber app for details. ["The Daily Show Theme"] Billy. Yeah. Very exciting. Why? We have not one, but two Monday night football games tonight. That means not one, but two big boards are in the studio right now. Yeah. You're on fire, but we also have two games to play.

Yeah. What games? If the season ended today and we good. Yeah. Which one would you like to play first, Billy? I think so. We did. We did some NFL the first segment. We did a lot of college last segment but there's a lot of NFL we haven't gotten to yet. So, I feel like

it's a good time to play. We good. Let's do it. Alright. So, first, we good here and you guys may disagree with with some of these. So, okay. Jets beat the Jaguars 32 to 25. We good? I'm not good. No, you want to talk about this game. Well, I

wanted a loss. Aaron looked good. Devontae Adams look good. I want them back next year. Devontae Adams looks great. Second half, he looked great. First half. He looked great. Yes. That's a bad loss though. I can't like the Jets should be

in must lose mode right now when they're not and here's the problem, Mikey. They have a quarterback who is trying to prove to that organization and every other organization, hey, I could still do it. So you're in must lose mode with a quarterback who's trying to win. Okay.

You know? Let's refresh the rules of We Good. So the rules of We Good are, how do you feel? The rules of We Good are basically like, hey, we just skip over this game. Not a big game, not really an important game. I had an opinion, I'm sorry. Okay, so we weren't good on that one.

Jets, next. Well, if we're not good, then we have to give our opinion. Well, what's your opinion, Mikey? I tried to see if the Jets... Kind of what Stu got said, but the opposite. Okay. I like that they won. So not at all what Stu got said.

It can't kind of be what he said and then the opposite. We good. Well, the same top. All right, Bangles 37, Titans 27. We good? I'm good. Mikey? We good. All right, here's the one thing that I will say. We good, but here's the we good? I'm good. Mikey? We good.

All right, here's the one thing that I will say. We good, but here's the one thing that I'll say. This is the last of my winners and losers presented by Smear and Off the World's Number One Vodka Please Drink Responsibly. Loser, and it's a two part loser. Wow. Two different games.

Really? Losers, Jordan Battle and Jonathan Taylor. Both players somehow dropped the ball before they entered the end zone and those TDs turned into touchbacks. two different games. Really? 35 Giants 14, we good? I'm good. Mike, are you good? Yeah, that game. Tommy DeVito concussion, Lamar Jackson had an incredible game, 290 yards, five touchdowns, lost a fumble. Derek Henry didn't. Who cares? Weird.

Dude, Derek Henry caught, don't, we don't need to, we good, we good, we good, we good, we good. Patriots 17, Cardinals 30, Kyler Murray checked out for a concussion for a little, well, head injury, I should say, because he returned to the game, so it wasn't a concussion, we good? I'm good. Mikey?

Yeah, I'm good. All right, look at that. We're flying by. Sometimes there's a fight put up in some of these games. I'm good with that, yeah, yeah, I'm good. Buccaneers 40, Chargers 17, we good? I love Baker Mayfield. That's all I think for Buccaneers Okay, Billy. I don't know Billy. They're five and two on the road. It might travel. I mean

What what are you not good? Listen, you'll find out when we get to if the season ended today that game major implications major things moved Decations things moved Billy. They beat the Lions on the road Yeah, I mean it's an anomaly. Don't worry about that situation. Do it in the playoffs. You're right. You're right. Broncos 31 Colts 13. We good? That was a big game for

AFC playoffs implications. Those are both big games. Yeah, but here's the thing. I'm not trying to get rid of them but we're, you know, what? 40 minutes into the show. We haven't even addressed them yet. So, we good? I mean, was

it that important? Uh it was important. It was. Uh I'm not good. Really? I was it that important? Uh it was important. It was. Uh I'm not good. But really I'm just I'm so surprised at how good Bo Nicks is at the NFL level. He was not good yesterday. I know but just how bad Anthony Richardson is and

how bad he is but Bo Nicks is good enough Billy like with Sean Payton as the coach and that defense like I'm surprised the Brawn. I'm surprised the Broncos are this good. That's all I'm saying. I'm just saying. But Bo Nicks has done plenty of good things and

help them win games. I mean, their defense won the game yesterday. I understand that but I'm saying I'm just surprised. I'm not good only from this standpoint. If I did not expect the Broncos to be this good this late in the

season. Okay, if Anthony Richardson was not quarterbacking the Colts, I don't think the Broncos would have won the game. Fair or unfair. Did you see that trick play? They didn't trick anyone. Did you see that play? Yeah, that didn't it didn't. It counts as a fumble. The pass to

Joel Petonia. Yeah, it counts as a fumble instead of an interception because it was a backwards pass. Yeah, that was, I mean, what are we doing? I don't know. What are we doing? I don't know what we're doing. It's just whatever. Well,

anyways. But Denver is sitting at what? Nine and five. I mean, Denver's sitting pretty yesterday's yesterday's Chargers loss honestly made the Broncos a little bit what we're doing. It's just whatever. But Denver is sitting at what? Nine and five? I mean... Denver's sitting pretty. Yesterday's Chargers loss honestly made the AFC playoff picture more interesting and the fact that

the Bengals are still kind of hanging in there. Even though they're not really. But they kind of are. Why are you saying it like that? Because they're not. That's how you say it. Hey, Cowboys 30, Panthers 14. We good? Yeah. We good. Yep. We're not. That's how you say it. Kind of. I get it. Kind of are. Hey, Cowboys 30, Panthers 14. We good? Uh yeah. We good. Yep. We're good. We

good. Yep. We're good. I'm surprised that the Cowboys actually blew out the Panthers. Panthers have been keeping it close. Uh that was the first time the Panthers have been favored in a football game in 32 games. Yeah. I mean they

then they then they did the Panthers thing. We good. Uh commanders 20, Saints 19. This is a fun game that we haven't talked about yet. So, we good because I'm going to say no. We're not good. So, we Saints 19. This is a fun game that we haven't talked about yet. So, we good? Cuz I'm gonna say no, we're not good. Okay, go ahead

cuz you wanna talk about it. No. Uh it's not that I wanna talk about it. Right. I feel like there's things to talk about in this game that we haven't talked about yet. Okay. Which is interesting. Alright. So, you have the end of the

game which was completely crazy where the Saints are driving. They then stop the ball, they get down to like the two yard line and have no timeouts and the clock should have expired until the referee for some reason stopped the clock and then they're like, wait a minute, we weren't supposed to stop the clock. So then they restart the clock and in the time the Saints then clock the ball and then they have one last play. They end up going and scoring a touchdown on that play and had they kicked the extra point, it would have tied the game and sent it to overtime. But no, no, no. The Saints said, we're going for the win here.

When you have Spencer Radler on your team, you go for the win. Yes. Yes. You go for the jugular. I like the move by the Saints though, I do. And then they lost, which, you know, is fine. It's a good loss though, Billy. Was it?

It was, yeah. Well, then after the game, the NFL came out and said, you know is fine and then after the loss though Billy was it it was yeah Well then after the game the NFL came out and said you know what the referees they shouldn't have stopped that clock Which is fine, but they could have cost the commanders a game there in that mistake And there's just like oh whoopsie daisy never mind right just our bad keep it move kind of mistake harm no foul No, no harm no foul, but it could have been harm and foul. I mean, it could have, but it wasn't. It would have been. Right. Terry McClure. Unless you had a certain line on the game.

Yes. Maybe, perhaps. Right. That stoppage of that clock was so weird. Also, the commanders. Yeah. Not sure. I might be putting them on fraud alert.

Really? Fraud alert? Ooh. I didn't see it. Wow. I didn't know. You said it. I heard fraud alert. I see it. You said it.

I heard it. I repeated it. I said I might be putting them on fraud alert. Also, Texas 20 Dolphins 12 we good. We don't need to talk about that one. When we come back, Billy's Big Board Vets brought to you by and if the season ends today, no one's talking about the Dolphins of Texas today. We're not going to do that. Goodbye. you're going to do that. Goodbye. Very exciting. We have not one but two Monday Night Football games. Billy is preparing his big board bets for both those games.

Mikey has a game of if the season ended today, we are gonna go to Mikey, he's gonna start the game if the season ended today, and Billy will give us his big board bets, we'll weave in and out of these two things. I like that, StuGots, I'm gonna tell you right now though, real quick, before we get started, Billy's Big Board Bets is brought to you by the comedy series Bookie from Chuck Lorre and Nick Buckeye starring Sebastian Maniscalco.

Season one is streaming now on Max, also season two is out now on Max, Also, season two is out now on Max. Wow. Check it out. Slow down. There's a lot going on here and here's the thing. I'm 41 and 17 on Billy's Big Board Bats brought to you by Billy B. Nice.

And you'd think I'd be swaggering around. Not the case at all. And I told you I'm not feeling good today. I have a situation where I have two games to choose from. I don't love the games. You're going to see why I don't love them. One of the games I couldn't make a decision on three so I have four picks, I have two games to choose from. I don't love the games. You're gonna see why I don't love them. One of the games I couldn't make a decision on three, so I have four picks, which has never happened before. It seems like I'm gonna have seven picks today. I'm just gonna get you started right now. Here we go.

I'm gonna start with the second game. Wow. Bijan Robinson, over 17 and a half carries. He's done it two weeks in a row, and five out of the last seven. Over 17 and a half carries. All right, that is in the second game. Falcons and Raiders.

Mikey, if the season ended today, go ahead, my friend. the game. We have over 17 and a half carries. Alright, that is in the second game Falcons and Raiders. Mikey, if the season ended today, go ahead my friend. If the season ended today, those LA Chargers who lost to the Bucks traveled to Buffalo. If the season ended today. Wow. Buffalo wins that

game by three touchdowns. Easily. Easily. They win that game by three touchdowns. You have you have a team from Los Angeles, warm weather team, traveling across the country, playing in Buffalo, and it's Josh Allen's time. This is his time, Josh Allen's. All right, my next one. Wow.

Sincere McCormick, longest rush, over 14 and a half yards. He's done this three games in a row. 29 yards, 17 yards, and 19 yards. He is the starting running back for the Raiders. Sincere McCormick. Sincere? Yeah, over 14 and a half yards. the Alright. Sincere? Yeah. Over fourteen and a half yards. Huh? Yeah. Odd name. Yeah, this is a weird. We're starting with my

bonus board. Yes. Yeah, that's why there's eight B's on this one. Bonus board. I see that. Anyways. Uh Mikey, if the season ended today, too cold weather teams cutting it up. Denver goes to Pittsburgh. Oh, game. The team and a half punts. Really? This is why I have under seven and a half punts. I mean, it's Falcons Raiders.

The Falcons average 2.8 punts per game, which is 32nd in the NFL. The Raiders average 3.8 punts per game, which is 16th in the NFL. Neither of these teams like to punt. Okay. Most teams don't like to punt. They're forced to punt. They're not great. That's kind of a thing. Not great teams, but I'm going under seven and a half, and this is why Okay. Now, they're both. Most teams don't like to punt. They're forced to punt. They're not great. That's kind of the thing. Not great teams, but I'm going under seven and a half. And this is why, now you're seeing, I don't feel great about these picks when I'm resulting to, let me look up team punting stats. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha unconfident 41 and 17 gambler I've ever seen. Well, I have seven picks because in my first game,

I had four and I was on the fence. I didn't know which three I wanted and I had four. So I very easily could have just done four for one game and two for the other, but I said, no, we do three. Even though now I'm gonna do four, but we do three. We're gonna stick to three. So that's why I'm doing team punting stats. All right, so prepare your next bet here.

I have the next one ready already. Oh wow, okay, go ahead. Go for it. Mikey, stand by, hold on a sec. Billy's Big Board Bet's brought to you by and I also heard that you were criticizing the size of the board. to go. Oh, wow. Okay, go ahead. Here's the next one. Stand by. Hold on a sec. Billy's Big Board Betts brought to you by and I also heard that you were

criticizing the size of the board. So, I got a big board. Yes. Alright. So, this one is Jordan Addison over three and a half receptions. He has done this three weeks in a row and he had eight receptions for 162 yards in their last game against

the Bears on November 24th. Yep. He's good. Uh Justin Jefferson is good. Uh it makes Sam Darnall great and it drives me crazy. Mikey, if the season ended today. The last game against the Bears on November 24th. Yeah. He's good. Uh

Justin Jefferson is good. Uh it makes Sam Darnall great and it drives me crazy. Mikey, if the season ended today. The the Bears on November 24th. Yep, he's good. Uh Justin Jefferson is good. Uh it makes Sam Darnold great and it drives me crazy. Mikey, if the season ended today, the last matchup in the AFC, the Ravens will travel to Houston to take on the Texans. Feels like that

game that the Ravens always lose. That's a tough one. So, Ravens at Houston, CJ Stroud, Lamar Jackson. I think the Ravens win that, Alright, ready? I'm giving you the game and moves on in the AFC playoff that don't start for four weeks. Alright, ready? I'm giving you the last three together because we're running out of time here. I'm going to go with Caleb Williams over

219.5 yards. He didn't do it last week but he's done it three out of the last four weeks and he had 340 passing yards versus the Vikings on November 24th. A lot of these stats are based on that match up November 24th. Sam Darnold. I like this. Over one and a half touchdown that matchup, November 24th. Sam Darnold, over one and a half touchdowns.

Sam Darnold, over one and a half touchdowns. Hasn't done it since, or wait no, he's done that four weeks in a row and he had five TDs last week. And, Swift, under 52 and a half rushing yards. He hasn't done it since November 17th versus Green Bay a month ago. He hasn't had over 52 and a half rushing yards.

And in the game against the Vikings on November 24th, he had 30 over 52 and a half rushing yards and in the game against the Vikings on November 24th, he had 30 rushing yards. So, I'm going to go under on rushing yards. Alright, those are the BBBs for a uh seven of them. Not super confident. I understand. Listen, you're on a heater right now.

You want one game. You want to make three picks. This is throwing you off your game. I had four in the first game. I had three in the second game. One of them is team punting, it's just a whole thing. Right, right. It's football.
