Starting point is 00:02:24 God bless football. God bless football. God bless football. God bless football. God blessed football. What anything. Yeah. And I think he's right. I think that's representative of all of us. We don't know anything. Here are the undefeated quarterbacks in the NFL. Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, Justin Fields, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Andy Dalton. How about that, Billy? I don't know what this league is this Billy. I don't know what this league is this year. I don't know what's going on. The kicker. This is a great year for kickers unless you're a
Starting point is 00:03:12 good kicker, then it's a terrible year for kickers or the Eagles kicker, right? Are the Eagles good? I have no idea. It's one of my if the season ended today questions. Is it would Nick Sirianni still be the Eagles head coach? It's odd
Starting point is 00:03:24 saying that coming off of victory. It's odd saying that when that team could be three and oh but he's not a good coach. They ate two and one because of Nick Sirianni. They were lucky that they won that game. That was an ugly game and obviously their defense, you
Starting point is 00:03:39 know, seemed to find the solution to the great mystery of how do we stop the New Orleans Saints all of a sudden which were like this offensive juggernaut and it's like wow they can't be stopped. Well the Eagles can stop them and if it wasn't for Dallas Goddard touchdown of like or not touchdown the big like 61 yard yeah completion that set them up for a touchdown. Right. Nick Sirianni may be on the hot seat and by the way that play only ended up happening because the Saints
Starting point is 00:04:05 ran into each other. I think Nick Sirianni is the rare head coach who was two and one and still on the hot seat. Like Eagles fans are not happy with Nick Sirianni. They don't like him. They don't. That was fast. So, ask yourself this question.
Starting point is 00:04:18 If Nick Sirianni became a free agent today, would an NFL team hire him? This is a guy who was taking the Eagles to the playoffs three consecutive years. I believe the only Eagles coach in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles to do so and he's a guy who led this team to within a play of winning the Super Bowl against Kansas City and yet I'm not certain the Eagles fans want him to be their head coach. I think Nick Sirianni has
Starting point is 00:04:44 coordinator face. I think Nick Sirianni has coordinator face. I think Nick Sirianni is a guy you want on your coaching staff, but you don't want him making any kind of big decisions. You want him as your offensive coordinator. You do not want him as your head coach. I think part of it too is like you thought Jalen Hurts was going to take another step that he hasn't really taken since the Super Bowl. Correct.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I mean, he had 311 yards like fine. He had, you know, rushing touchdown. It was his seventh straight game with an interception, which is not ideal. He fumbled the ball yesterday. He just, he's, it's okay. His numbers are okay. He's just not the guy that I think that everybody thought
Starting point is 00:05:19 he was gonna become after the Super Bowl. So they beat Green Bay. They beat Green Bay with Jordan Love. Okay. They should have beaten Atlanta and they beat the Saints with the hottest team in the NFL and they beat them in New Orleans. The fact that we're having this conversation speaks to how awful Nick Sirianni is in game. They're a drive away from me, you know. I know. A catch away. Zayquan Barkley, a catch away. But did they look good yesterday? They should have lost. No one looks good. No one looks good. No one looks good away. Zequan Barkley, a catch away. But did they look good yesterday? They should have lost.
Starting point is 00:05:46 They looked good enough. No one looks good. No one looks good. No one looks good. Zequan looks good. Time out. Zequan looks good. The Vikings look good.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Malik, Malik neighbors looks good. Neighbors is good. Yeah. Good day to be Malik yesterday. Good day to be Malik neighbors. Malik neighbors is saving people's jobs. He really saved my fantasy. Malik Willis also looked good yesterday.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Good enough. Revenge game. Dolphins gonna find Malik Willis? looked good yesterday. Good enough. Revenge game. Dolphins gonna find Malik Willis? Gonna find Malik Willis? I don't under- Don't get me started on the Dolphins. No, no, no, no. Thank you, Pontus. I would like to vow to the audience and to you guys right now, and it's really for the betterment of my own sanity, and for the show just surviving. I don't want to talk about the Dolphins today.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Well, we have to. After that game, we don't have to talk about them. We don't't wanna talk about the Dolphins today. Well, we have to. I just, we don't. After that game, we don't have to talk about them. If you don't have a Dolphins. If you don't have a new found appreciation for just how good Tua is at quarterback, I'm sorry. I was actually, we asked her like, you miss Tua yet? Like all of the Dolphins fans that hated, like you miss him?
Starting point is 00:06:38 You miss Tua yet? Tua's so bad, you can't beat Tua. Look what happens when he's not on this team. Tyree Kill, are you on the team still? Where's Tyree Kill? This fraud out there, Taylor Vipolis, the other day, you can't give two a top 10 money. Yeah, well, what's the alternative?
Starting point is 00:06:52 Cause we saw it yesterday. Tim Boyle, okay, Tim Boyle, college and professional career, five touchdowns combined. We all found out together that Tim Boyle was a dolphin, right? Yes. I know. It's not so funny when he's on your team? Yes. I know. It's not so funny when he's on your team. I'm just saying it's not so funny when he's throwing
Starting point is 00:07:09 you 99 yard interceptions. It's funny. Well, you know, it's on your team. Not so funny about Tim Boyle had one of the only competent drives the Dolphins had all game yesterday. I said, I thought you were gonna say his game until he needed to throw. No. Okay. That's another thing. Okay. It's third and goal. third and goal. You have two of the top five highest paid receivers in the league on your team.
Starting point is 00:07:30 You run a pattern for Durham-Smith. Yeah. I'm done. No one's expecting it. Yeah, the element of surprise. Yeah, got him. Listen, listen, we don't need to go down this path today. Right. McDaniel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Genius. I don't Right. McDaniel. I don't, I, can I tell you something? Can I tell you something? I don't think they are. I don't know. Don't let the record fool you. I don't think they are. And also they have such a leg up on, I think Mike Tomlin, and this is unfair, this is unfair.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I think Mike Tomlin at this point is coaching just to never have a losing record during a season, right? Maybe, yeah. Like I, that's unfair. He probably is trying to make the playoffs. He's a season, right? That's unfair. He probably is trying to make the playoffs. He's not trying to win the Super Bowl. The Steelers are not trying to win the Super Bowl. He has won, so I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:08:33 He's probably, if he wins a second, he'd be thrilled about it, but he has the one and he's never had a losing season. I think at this point, we're happy with just that. And we've got such a leg up on that goal for this year. Oh my God. Russell Wilson is not starting. He's six wins away.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Russell Wilson's not getting that starting job. Ever. Well, maybe at some point. By the way, and obviously I'm panicked now when you hear this, Dolphins, Russell Wilson's out there? How did, Andy Dalton was out there? Is he though? Yeah, go get Russell Wilson.
Starting point is 00:09:02 No, Russell's out there. Go get Russell Wilson. Yeah, he's out there. I got a feeling that Andy Dalton at the beginning of the season and Russell Wilson. No, Russell's out there. Go get Russell Wilson. Yeah, he's out there. I got a feeling that Andy Dallin at the beginning of the season and Russell Wilson were a fourth round draft pick away. Of course, they are now. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Tana Hill's out there. I don't know what he's gonna do. He's out there though. He's out there. Just not Skyler Thompson. Just not Tim Boyle. I just, I don't understand what the Dolphins are doing at the quarterback position.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Don't worry, they don't either. But like, okay. Well, like, okay. Well, they do, it's two of them. Yeah. But two years ago, we learned Skyler Thompson just wasn't good enough, and he almost, almost won that playoff game in Buffalo, almost, but you learned he wasn't enough, right?
Starting point is 00:09:41 So then last year, they addressed that issue, and they said, you know what, we'll bring a Mike White, he'll be to his backup should something happen. Tua had an entire healthy season, they didn't need him. Then they let him go, and the solution is again, Skyler Thompson. Like, well, he won the job over Mike White. It's like, well, there shouldn't have been a position where it was Mike White against Skyler Thompson. Should something happen to Tua, you can't plan for him on being healthy.
Starting point is 00:10:03 And obviously, this is a Monday morning quarterback situation because he was healthy all last year, but there was no plan if Tool went down. Nope. How did you guys copy the 2023 Jets almost exactly when it came to the quarterback position? You let go of Mike White, you brought in Tim Boyle, and you put all your eggs in a basket with a guy
Starting point is 00:10:23 that you probably aren't sure is going to stay healthy with only some, some college quarterback to back him up and Tim Boyle, why would you watch the 2023 jets and think that's what we need? That's what we need to do. Tim Boyle was like the guy you bring in because you want to know the jets playbook. Like he was never meant to play. The jets playbook. Yeah, that's what you're worried about. Oh no. Nathaniel Hackett's playbook. According to her being Nathaniel Hackett's a genius.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Here's the playbook. Run, run again, incomplete pass, punt. That's the playbook. Listen, guys, there was great football yesterday. It did not happen in Seattle. We've spent way too much time talking about the Dolphins. No one cares about the Dolphins and we can maybe get back to them later on a game that I like to call Based on Nothing. Oh, what, really? Yeah, or do you just wanna play Based on Nothing right now? Really? So wait, we're gonna make opinions based on nothing?
Starting point is 00:11:13 Here's, I'll give you an example. Oh my God, this is exciting. Isn't that called God Bless Football? It's called me. This is the first edition, we'll play it right now, cause it's quick, I only have one based on nothing. We're playing it now. Yeah. Not later.
Starting point is 00:11:27 It's called Based on Nothing, right? Based on Nothing, Skyler Thompson would kill it as a seventh year senior in college this year at Oklahoma State. Right. I feel like he'd have them in the top 10. He'd be on Heisman Watch. He wouldn't win. He'd be like, he'd be like on Heisman Watch, he didn't really wanna win.
Starting point is 00:11:45 He'd be like, he'd finish third maybe, based on nothing. If Skyler Thompson is still in college today, because I think he's like 27 or something, right? He's young enough. He could have benefited from like an extra COVID year and then a red shirt and then a porter or a portal, and then you have like a transfer situation. And he could have been one of these guys
Starting point is 00:12:03 that it's like seventh year senior and he's lighting it up and you convince yourself, oh man, we need to draft this guy. And then he makes it to the NFL and he can't cut it. Right. Yeah. Based on nothing. Kansas State. I see Kansas State.
Starting point is 00:12:15 That's where he went. Kansas State. I think that's where he went. He went to Kansas State? No way. So you're saying he should have stayed at Kansas State. I think that's where he stayed. He should have transferred back to Kansas State.
Starting point is 00:12:23 I just want to be clear. He went to Kansas State. I want to be clear on what Billy is saying based on nothing. Based on nothing. He is saying that Skyler Thompson, had he stayed. No. Or should go back to college because he would be second or third place in the Heisman voting right now. Based on nothing, Skyler's the guy with NIL money that would have made a nice living. Right. Just staying in college forever. Yeah. I like the game.
Starting point is 00:12:48 And he'd be dominating 18 year olds that he's playing against. Based on nothing. Based on nothing. I love it. Yeah. I have some, if the season ended today, is you want those? Wow. Or are we all supposed to play this game?
Starting point is 00:12:58 We also have Lucy coming up. I don't know if we mentioned that. Well, yes, because we do not bury college football here on God Bless Football. We will talk to Lucy about the college weekend and a big college weekend coming up. You have the game of the year, Alabama and Georgia coming up plus Penn State, Illinois, Louisville and Notre Dame. But if the season ended today, guys, would Kevin O'Connell be the coach of the year? Now, last week it was
Starting point is 00:13:20 Dennis Allen, but that was last week and this is this week. The season ended last week. Now it's but that was last week and this is this week. The season ended last week now it's ending today so if it ended today would Kevin O'Connell be your coach of the year? Does that include what happened the first two weeks or this is just a one week season? Just if the season ended today no it's a three week season now. Okay yeah all right. Body of work. And next week it will be a full week season. You just give the Vikings all the awards? I mean why not? Sam Darno wins MVP no question about it. No question. And most improved player. the you just give the Vikings all the awards. I mean, why not?
Starting point is 00:13:47 Sam Darnold wins MVP. No question about it. No question. Yes and most improved player and most improved right MIP and MVP. How about that? I don't think anyone's ever done that. Is he injured last year or you give him come back player of the
Starting point is 00:13:58 year? Oh, when he come back from just just just Sam Darnold. Yes, he came back from the Jets and the Mikey. It's funny because Billy and Mike Fuentes are miserable because they have Skyler Thompson and you and I would be miserable because Sam Darnold and Geno Smith are a combined six and oh. Can I? But we're not because
Starting point is 00:14:13 we have Aaron Rodgers. Can I say something? I, I, it's, I don't think I'm miserable because of that, right? I don't think I'm miserable because of that because, and this is very premature obviously, but I'm kind of like, yeah, the season's over. Like, I don't need to pay attention the rest of the way. And we're only one week into this entry.
Starting point is 00:14:32 You have the Titans, oh, but now looking at the schedule, favorable little bounce back here. Titans, Titans, Patriots, Colts. Oh wow, you went two of three right there. Even with Skyler Thompson. Two of three, you're 500, but then you play Arizona. I don't know. Do we know about Arizona?
Starting point is 00:14:47 No, no. No. I don't think we'll ever know. They have shades of like, this is a good team. And they're like, oh, maybe not. I'm not certain we'll ever know about Kyler Murray. Yeah. Then we have the Bills.
Starting point is 00:14:57 You know how that Bills game is going to go. Always goes the same against the Bills. Oh my god. Rams or the Rams good? I don't know. Yeah, same. Listen, Carolina has the same record as San Francisco. Man, San Francisco is bad luck.
Starting point is 00:15:13 We know nothing. They're so they're so injured. They shouldn't have lost that game yesterday, but they're so injured. I know. Carolina's back. Listen, I'm going to say it right now before Lucy joins us to recap the college football weekend and preview a big college football weekend. The Panthers are winning that division. the game.

Starting point is 00:16:42 I saw that you were in Norman, Oklahoma. I just always assumed Norman, Oklahoma was a place that wasn't fun. How was your experience there? It's no Madison, right? It's tough to follow Madison with another college town. I wasn't like crazy in love with Norman. However, great game day atmosphere. Like I was a little like I got to Norman I was
Starting point is 00:17:06 like I'm not entirely in love with this their campus corner their little like downtown areas really great their campus is gorgeous but their game day atmosphere is really really cool they have like a bunch it's very SEC like in the sense that they're shooting off guns all the time during the game the crowd is really into it I I enjoyed my experience. We did get like the pure Oklahoma and we were stranded there for a couple hours on Sunday because the weather was so miserable we couldn't leave. Billy, you made a face when she said they're shooting guns off. Yeah, just performative. Yeah, I was, I was, yeah, yeah. Look, I'm a little slow
Starting point is 00:17:39 today. I'm gonna be honest with you. You're upset about Tua. I'm just dragging a little bit. My school FIU, I was calling that game, had a horrific loss this week. Yeah, he saw that. I'll get me honest with you. You're upset about Tua. I'm just dragging a little bit. My school FIU, I was calling that game, had a horrific loss this week. Don't get me started on that. Don't get me started on that. Congrats to Monmouth, but right, boy. Why would I want to get you started on that? Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Because, I mean, we should have known the Dolphins were headed down after that game. That was just, wow. Right. What is the connection there? One disaster after another. I just like that the FIU Monmouth game made its way into Lucy's college football radar.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Did the sitcoms retweet it or something? Oh, it was a crazy play. Why? How? I stay up after I get back from the late game to watch the little recap-y show, and they had it on there. And then I listen to Shut Down Full Cast every Sunday,
Starting point is 00:18:23 and they had it on there. It was somewhat of a big college story just because of the crazy way that the game ended. Because it was so insane. Yeah, so like Monmouth has never beat, you know, an FBS school before. Right. And this was FIU's homecoming game,
Starting point is 00:18:37 which I learned in doing the prep, because I called the game FIU hasn't won a homecoming game since 2019, which is very sad. At the pit, right? Yeah, at the pit. The Pitbull Stadium, yeah. So it was a back and forth game. Monmouth, listen, I'm not wanting to do this. And actually I don't think he's eligible,
Starting point is 00:18:53 but their quarterback, Heisman Watch, he's had two back to back weeks. Back to back weeks. Really? He had like 390 yards two weeks ago, he was a transfer out of Maine. His brother is actually the quarterback's coach, so a little bit of nepotismism. Would you be happier if he
Starting point is 00:19:06 was the Dolphins backup? Yeah. Anyways, long story short. So FIU was favored by like 10 and a half points or something because it's an FCS school. Yeah. And as a back and forth game the entire game, they couldn't stop the quarterback. And then they're driving down. They're down by three. They're driving down the field with 30 seconds left. They have a pass and the receiver is like, you know, shaking in and out, goes to make a turn to go into the end zone. He's fighting for every yard. There's 30 seconds left in the game.
Starting point is 00:19:30 On the one yard line fumbles the ball. Monmouth gets the ball. They run out the clock game over. It was crazy. I'm watching the replay hoping like, God, just please have crossed the goal line and have this not be a thing. Did not cross the goal line.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Incredible play by Monmouth. Your wishes did not come true. They did not come true. I mean, I was happy for them. They were celebrating like they won the Super Bowl, running out on the game. It did not be a thing. Right. Did not cross the goal line. Mm. Incredible play by Monmouth. Your wishes did not come true. They did not come true. I mean, I was happy for them. They were celebrating like they won the Super Bowl
Starting point is 00:19:50 running out on the field. It's the biggest win in like program history but yeah. Not the place I thought we'd start this morning with Lucy. It's a big play. It's a big play in college. No, okay. If you say so. It was. Okay. Alright. I'm
Starting point is 00:20:00 sorry. Anyway. Oh, hey. Whoa. I take it back. I mean, you know, apologies. Lucy, were you impressed with Tennessee, who got a big road win at Oklahoma? They're certainly a team that's going to be in the playoffs, I think, right? Yeah, they kind of feel like the most luck right now outside of the Texas, Georgia, Ohio states of the world. Incredibly impressed with their defense.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I think a lot of what we saw from Oklahoma was their offense just being completely and totally anemic. That was one game where I was just sitting there and it just felt wrong. Everything felt wrong. What do you mean that Oklahoma forced two fumbles and then the next play immediately fumbled them both back? What do you mean? That happened twice.
Starting point is 00:20:36 That happened two times. Absolutely crazy. Going into halftime, I felt like Oklahoma could have been tied, could have been really, really close to Tennessee, but Tennessee is just could have been tied, could have been really, really close to Tennessee. But Tennessee is just a much better team and they are a really, really good team. And I'm not like a type of person that gets like, I'm not like motivated by like inspirational speeches or anything like that. But when I saw Josh Hyples, like
Starting point is 00:20:58 postgame locker room talk to the team, I was like, Oh yeah, Tennessee is winning the national championship. Yes. Yeah, they love Rocky Top feels like 98. Let's go. Sometimes a good speech could convince you that that team is going to win a national championship. Seriously. And it did. Yeah. It did. The way he spoke, I was like, damn, I'd want to play for him. I get it.
Starting point is 00:21:16 It was like Dan Lanning last year at Oregon after they beat Colorado or before the Colorado game. They're going for Clicks. We're going for Wins. I thought Oregon was going to win it all. They almost did, but I thought they were going to win it all. You know did, but I thought they were going to win it all. You know? No, it completely changes everything. And that game was super cool just for Josh Hypal to be sort of a homecoming. Like, you know, the schedule makers knew what they were doing and making Tennessee's, or Oklahoma's first SEC game against Tennessee. But the atmosphere was really special. The game was really good. I think that like, this isn't the Tennessee teams have passed, their defense is phenomenal, they've got a great run game. Like they are just a well-rounded, really, really good football team and they play Alabama in two weeks. And
Starting point is 00:21:53 that's kind of where we're going to get the real litmus test of how good Tennessee is. They also play Georgia, but outside of that, there's not a ton left on their schedule. So they feel like a lock for the playoff. You mentioned Alabama. I want to start right there with Lucy or Goosey. Lucy or Goosey, the outcome of Alabama, Georgia this weekend doesn't really matter because both teams are making it to the playoff. That's a good question. I think I'm gonna go Lucy on that. I think you're right where I mean it does matter. It's a big game and it
Starting point is 00:22:22 doesn't matter for seating because the thing with playoff is yeah, a lot of teams are getting in now but a few teams are gonna be able to play at home and a few teams are gonna be able to skip the first round entirely but yeah I do think that with 12 teams you're probably gonna have four teams from the SEC right now and those look like Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas. So yeah, no it'll just be funsies. Yeah, it will just be funsies. Right. I like that. Well, do you? I do like fun. That was my problem originally with the 12 team playoff where the regular season games, which used to mean everything don't mean as much as they used to. See, I disagree with that still because like, I don't think that
Starting point is 00:22:59 Alabama and Georgia, they're gonna, they're not gonna have Kirby Smart and Caitlin DeBoer in the locker room being like, by the way guys whatever happens We're still good for the playoff like I think they're all gonna want to win still right and like even let's just say Tennessee had lost To Oklahoma that game still would have meant a lot even though Tennessee feels like a lot for the playoff Which is kind of crazy to say at week four We don't know what happens But like these games are still gonna matter like Alabama fans are still gonna call in to fine bomb
Starting point is 00:23:26 on Tuesday if they lose and be like, burn the whole place down. You know? I don't like that. That's more a product of them having nothing else to do with their lives. But anyway, go ahead though. I have bad parenting.
Starting point is 00:23:34 You know what I mean? Bad parenting by Kirby Smart. It takes me back to the days of, you look back at high school and everything, you're like, oh my gosh, I was so stressed out over this math test. I was so stressed out over the chemistry test, whatever. Big picture, didn't really matter. Why was was so stressed out over this math test, I was so stressed out over the chemistry test, whatever. Big picture, didn't really matter.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Why was I so stressed out? Why do I have a lifetime worth of anxiety stressing over these tests that didn't really matter? Now that's what this college football season is, right? These games, they don't really matter that much. Don't stress them. You're gonna make the playoffs, you're Georgia, you're Alabama.
Starting point is 00:23:58 You're gonna make it to the playoffs regardless. Doesn't matter. Don't stress this too much. Kirby, go be that supportive shoulder that your team can lean on and say, you know what pal, it's okay. We're gonna get him at the end of the season. We'll get him in December.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Don't stress this too much. Just be you. Be that supportive parent that doesn't raise the, you know, anxious kids. Not that my parents have. It sounds like I'm taking shots of my parents. Not the case. I'm not saying that.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I'm just saying. You know what I mean? What? Mr. and Mrs. Gill. Seems like you are, yeah. You know what I mean? The Gills, yep. What? Mr. and Mrs. Gill. Yeah? Yeah. They're great parents. This is very Mac Brown of you right now.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Yeah, but Mac Brown would be a great coach for this current system, would he not? You just tell your guy, you know what? He just tried to quit. Not a huge deal. I'm just gonna, I just don't wanna come back. Yeah. I'm just not coming back.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I don't, wait, don't tell anybody I said that. I'm coming back, I'm coming back. I changed my mind. Why would the, don't tell anybody I said that. I'm coming back. I'm coming back. I changed my mind. Why would the players want him back? I mean, they have to give it up 70 to James Madison. Just embarrassing on all fronts. I'm still confused how that happens. So my understanding of the situation,
Starting point is 00:25:00 UNC got whomped, which they were going to get whomped. And I think it's important to note that we know that James Madison is a really good school and has been a really good football team for quite some time now. But I think it's also, this is not that James Madison. That James Madison entirely transferred to Indiana. The coach is gone. Most of their players are gone. They're all in Bloomington now.
Starting point is 00:25:21 So this is a new crop of James Madison. And they worked UNC to the point where Mac Brown was like, I'm not coming back. This was so bad I'm not coming back. And I think UNC was like, no you don't get to just do that. You got to go back. Yeah. You got a contract Mac. Honor it. We'll tell you when your time is run out here in North Carolina. Which is crazy because like if I were UNC, I be like, yeah. You probably
Starting point is 00:25:50 have to be concerned before this season. I don't know. Why would you want him there if he doesn't want to be there? Well, that's what Lucy is saying. She's saying if I'm UNC, I take the opportunity that Mike Brown is put in front of him. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:01 See you later coach. Bye. Just so good. Alright, Lucy. Your you. See you later coach. Bye. like there are always going to be coaches that are really underrated in college football that we don't talk about enough. Kyle Whittingham is the so goosey but Kyle Whittingham is a staple. Yes. Kyle Whittingham like the reason that Kyle Whittingham doesn't get the attention that I would say most coaches necessarily do is because I think he'll never his name is never gonna be in the coaching hire cycle. He's not leaving Utah. He's been there for what? 16, 17 years. Yep.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Like he shows up, he does his job. He does it well. And like, I think it's super impressive with a school like Utah where you're not necessarily in a recruiting hotspot. Like it's not a place that people like really, really want to go to school. It's not, I don't know if it's like a super rich alumni base or anything like that, but to go into Oklahoma state, a really tough place to play against a really good Oklahoma State team Yes with your okay, you know what? I'm actually gonna take part of that back right because no starting quarterback
Starting point is 00:27:14 You miss your starting quarterback all the time though. He's never that I know he's never there So you're used to not having them there, right? You're just adjusted to that So it's less special when Kyle winning him doesn't you, you just live life without a starting quarterback. Utah is always a staple. It doesn't matter who's on their team. It doesn't matter who their quarterback is. They're always going to be good. They're always going to give you a tough fight.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Uh, and I think that the big 12, like right now is really poised for Utah to win. Um, because Oklahoma state lost Kansas state lost to BYU this weekend. Uh, Iowa state kind of looks like a competitor right now, but like the whole is Oklahoma State lost, Kansas State lost to BYU this weekend. Iowa State kind of looks like a competitor right now. But the whole Big 12 is weird and wonky. And I think they're the new reformed Pac-12. They're all just going to beat the crap out of each other. But it feels like Utah will rise above.
Starting point is 00:27:58 So just to be clear, you started off as Goosey, and now you're Lucy. No, I never went to Lucy. I thought I turned you into it. No, no, no, because I was like, wow, it's so impressive that he went in there without a starting quarterback. And then I went, Lucy, he's gone into every game
Starting point is 00:28:12 in the last six years without a starting quarterback. It's more shocking when he has his starting quarterback. Yeah, it's weirder when you win with Kim rising at this point. You're like, what are you doing here? So he's been the head coach since 2005. But prior to that, he joined Utah in 1994 as defensive line coach. So he's been there 30 years now.
Starting point is 00:28:27 He's not going anywhere. It would be great, though, and at 64, I think it's safe to say, 64, too late for a midlife crisis, right? Unless you live to be, obviously, 128, which maybe you will. He's a young 64, though, Billy. It would be great for him to have, though, a 64-year-old midlife crisis where he's like, you know what? I'm out of here and then he goes to like some other big team
Starting point is 00:28:48 What no he's got to do the urban Meyer and leave Utah for Florida. I like that a late-life crisis You're right I take that back He looks great. Yeah, I said a young 64 Lucy on the other side of that, Lucy or Goosey is Lincoln Riley, the most overrated coach in the country. He's one of them. Yes. For sure. I think we've been saying that for a while. If there's any takeaway we can have from this weekend, it's nobody knows if USC or
Starting point is 00:29:18 LSU are any good. We don't know what's going on with those two teams and they're not helping each other at all. To lose at Michigan, that's a tough place to play. That's a very good defense. I believe I said it last week, Michigan will never pass the ball again and I was right. So if I knew what Michigan was going to do, you should have known what Michigan was going to do and you still lost knowing that they were completely one dimensional against you. Michigan Stevens looked really really good. Miller Moss was out there fighting for his life. His offensive line did not do him any favors. But like Lincoln Riley feels very one dimensional in the sense that like hell yeah he can develop a passing game. Hell yeah he can develop a quarterback.
Starting point is 00:29:59 What else can you do brother? What else? It's a fair question. Lucy or Goosey, Dion Sanders has given a master class in making us all care about a team that we have no idea whether or not they're good. Lucy, but with the caveat of we know they're not good. Okay, good. We know they're not good. But he is gonna master class.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Thank you, Lucy. He's made us all care about a team that's bad. It's amazing. That Baylor game was bat-sh-t crazy. And I just want to give a shout out to Dave Aranda, who came out after the game and said the Hail Mary that they gave up, the name of that play was Victory Cigar. Maybe you didn't need to say that, Dave.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Maybe you could have lied. Maybe you should have just kept that with that one to yourself Crazy, I don't know what's going on with Baylor. They've been off the last few years He's probably on the odd seat. But yeah, like Colorado has three good players and that's like the extent of their team But they're interesting talked about and they have wild crazy games. So yeah, we do care about a team that is bad They are bad. Yeah. I have a Lucy or Goosey. Lucy or Goosey, Arch Manning gave himself a C plus
Starting point is 00:31:09 after their 51 to three win over ULM. He had 258 yards, two touchdowns, but two interceptions. Ooh. Oh, I did not get to watch this game because they put it behind a paywall. Well, what's your Lucy or Goosey? Does he deserve a better grade? Is that what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:31:24 Yeah, well, that seems like you just move on though. Yeah, sorry. I'll give him a Lucy. I love the self-awareness of Arch. All-time quarterback matchup in this one. Arch Manning versus General Booty. Oh, wow. General Booty. Lucy or Goosey. I understand the paywall
Starting point is 00:31:39 now. Yeah. Yeah. Lucy or Goosey. If Clemson runs the table, they'll make the playoff. Lucy, including the ACC Championship because then they're literally allowed. Right. Well, then they then they can't stop them. Okay,
Starting point is 00:31:55 let's do it this way. There's no, there's no. From the table, lose the ACC Championship game. Um if they lose the ACC Championship game, they're probably out. Right. Um it's going to really depend maybe less on what Clemson does. They can't afford another loss, I believe. But the Big 12 is in the weird stage where everybody's beating each other.
Starting point is 00:32:14 So I think they're going to auto eliminate and just have the one team in there. And so it'll probably come down to Charlotte, the DACC championship game against Miami. It'll just really depend on, honestly, I think what happens with the Big Ten. If the Big Ten has four decent looking teams, I think they could get in over Clemson. My whole thing is, I don't wanna take last week out of context, beating the out of NC State is impressive.
Starting point is 00:32:39 NC State is really bad. They are not good. You saw that week one when they almost lost to Western Carolina, they got stomped by Tennessee. They struggled not good. You saw that week one when they almost lost to Western Carolina. They got stomped by Tennessee. They struggled against Louisiana Lafayette. They are not a good team. So beating NC State by that is not as impressive as it seems. But it looks like Clemson's headed on the right path. I don't necessarily know if they have a super tough game on their schedule because it's the ACC so like I think it's
Starting point is 00:33:05 Circumstantial, but if they were the ACG championship game they have to be I have an idea I think you'll like this I want the committee to allow like a super wild card team in like a wacky wild card team in I want a group of five. Well, I want that team. I think Colorado should get in I just want to see what should your Sanders and Hunter could do against one of these teams why I'd be fun I saw what they could do against Baylor. What do you think they could do against one of the good teams? I just be fun to see it. I don't know phone. They're getting blown out by 30 I'd be listen that's not you would not want to face those two kids in a playoff game
Starting point is 00:33:35 Oh, no, I would love to I would love to I would love to destroy. I would be super happy if that was my My team was against Colorado in the playoff onto the next round. Yeah, I would be thrilled about that. Lucy, earlier today in this episode, I played a game called Based on Nothing, and I would like your opinion on my initial Based on Nothing. My Based on Nothing was Dolphins backup quarterback slash should not be in the NFL quarterback.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Skyler Thompson would kill it as a seventh year senior if he was in college at Oklahoma State. Yeah. Did you guys see like the starting age of both of those quarterbacks? Well, like not camera rising because he didn't play. Oklahoma's quarterback is like 24. He's 25. Yeah, he's like my age. Yeah, saw that. It was a goodbye.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Was that supposed to be like they're old, he's my age? Yeah, yeah, was that like the big reveal there? Old 25? I'm actually 26. I forgot how old I was. That happens a lot. I never remember how old I am. I get nervous when I hand my ID to the bouncer. That is so great.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I'm trying to look up the staff because there weren't two quarterbacks who played. Their combined age was higher than the combined age of like three starting quarterback combinations in the NFL this past weekend. Oh, yeah. They were so old. Because Kim Rising, I think, is 26. I think he's legit my age.
Starting point is 00:34:52 And then Oklahoma State's quarterback was like 24, 25, which is almost my age. Do you think that the bouncer is going to think that it's a fake ID? That used to happen to me. And still, when I go through airport security, I don't know why I like tent up. And I'm like, well, I'm not doing anything illegal.
Starting point is 00:35:04 I'm just going through security. I don't know why, like tense up and I'm like, well, I'm not doing anything illegal. I'm just going through security. I don't know why I'm afraid something's gonna happen to me here. Like this was two years ago, so not that long ago. I went through airport security and the lady asked if my mom was there. And I said, no, I'm 24. I can rent a car with a fee,
Starting point is 00:35:21 but my mom does not need to walk me through the airport. I'm old enough. And she was like, oh, I'm so sorry to the bar with a fee but II my mom does not need to walk me through the airport. I'm old enough and she was like, oh, I'm so sorry. You'll be grateful for that later. I said, I don't know. I'm pretty mortified right now. The
Starting point is 00:35:34 combined age of the Oklahoma State Utah quarterbacks. Lucy was forty-nine. The combined age of the starting quarterbacks in Bears Colts was forty-three. That's ridiculous. Can't get experience like that elsewhere. What are we doing? God bless the NIL. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Lucy or Goosey, quickly, Notre Dame will lose to Louisville this weekend. I'm going to go Goosey because I'm not quite sure how Louisville is. And you have to say it like that. Lucy or Goosey, Penn State will lose to Illinois this weekend. Goosey. It'll be a close game. They always, when they play each other, it's always really weird.
Starting point is 00:36:07 They had like that eight overtime game a couple years ago. Yes. Nebraska, Illinois beating Nebraska was, yes, impressive to Burt Beelima and Illinois. It was also just Nebraska doing a masterclass at what Nebraska does. The craziest stat I heard is Nebraska has been in like eight overtime games in the last like 10 years or something
Starting point is 00:36:29 and they have not scored in any of them and they have not gotten a first down in any of them. Lucy or Goosey, Georgia, just for a week, should side Nick Saban as a consultant. Goosey because Nick Saban's already going to all these practices and he's already consulting for
Starting point is 00:36:50 Alabama. So, I think he I think he would double double dip. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. Like the board's gotta be careful though. You know, Saban's probably telling him stuff to help him lose the game, not win the game. I
Starting point is 00:36:59 mean, I'm telling you, Saban's rooting against Alabama. He's a double agent. No, he's not. He would not root against Alabama. I'm not so certain, Lucy. Yeah. Hey, listen, Lucy, you leave a job. You're the all-time greatest coach
Starting point is 00:37:09 in the history of college football. You don't want the guy who comes in right after you to go win a national championship. Do you think Mac Brown thought he was Nick Saban when he was like, you know what? I'm just going to write off into the sunshine. Absolutely. No, Mac, you're not still at Texas.
Starting point is 00:37:22 We don't think of you the same way anymore. We did for a moment with Carolina, I feel like. No. No. No. No. No. We did for a moment 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Okay. Lucy, you're headed to Georgia, Alabama. We don't know yet. We have- We certainly hope so. If anybody who's listening can help us get to the game who works for Alabama. I do a really good job.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I'm really nice. Everybody really likes me. I clean up after myself. There's really no reason not to have me there. I agree. Yep, game of the weekend. Of course. Lucy, I'm telling you, keep an eye on this Derek Robertson from Monmouth.
Starting point is 00:37:59 390 yards, 355 yards, 390 yards, 361 yards. That's more than Michigan had the whole game. This guy's good. Lucy, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'm gonna reach out to Todd Gurley and Nick Chubb. They are both friends of mine and we'll see if I can get you into this game, okay? Don't book your tickets, that's a lie.
Starting point is 00:38:15 It's not gonna happen. We'll see what I can do, all right, Lewis? Sure. At least someone's trying around here. I'm desperate at this point. I am. I'll be the mascot for the game. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Whatever we have to do. Could you imagine if you were Big Al or whatever his name is, you go out there? Well, I guess you wouldn't. I believe I would have been a really good mascot. Do you? Like I feel like there was a missed opportunity for me. I really think that I could do it.
Starting point is 00:38:37 What kind of mascot do you think you could be? Like one of the human kind of mascots or one that's inside a costume? I'm, human kind of mascots are against my religion. I think those are really wrong and they go against nature and I don't think they should be allowed. But I could be in a costume for sure. Okay. What religion is this?
Starting point is 00:38:52 I feel like because I'm the one of what's right and what's wrong. Yeah, there you go. The religion of right and wrong. And human mascots, wrong. Not right. We will talk to you next weekend. Lucy, I'll let you know if I
Starting point is 00:39:06 hear back from girly. Please. Sorry, Nebraska. In 100 meters, turn right. Actually no turn left. There's some awesome new breakfast wraps at McDonald's. Really? Yeah, there's the sausage bacon and egg, a crispy seasoned chicken one, mm,
Starting point is 00:39:31 a spicy end egg, worth the detour. They sound amazing. Bet they taste amazing too. Ah, wish I had a mouth. Take your morning into a delicious new direction with McDonald's new breakfast wraps. Add a small premium roast coffee for a dollar plus tax at participating McDonald's restaurants. Ba da ba ba ba.
Starting point is 00:40:11 We have a lot to get to still, but we don't have a lot of time left. We have winners and losers for this week. I have my BBBBBB picks for Monday Night Football and this Monday night, tonight, we have a treat, two Monday Night Football games. So lots of games to choose from today. Is that six bets. Or is that like, you're gonna spread the three out over the two games. You know what, had we discussed this before,
Starting point is 00:40:31 I would have given you six, but I only did three and I spread it out across the two. Interesting. Yeah, the six would have been good because it really could have given me like a nice like little cushion or it could have buried me. But I was sticking to my three, but I'm gonna stick to my three,
Starting point is 00:40:44 just spreading it across the two games. In case anyone was interested, we now have a reason to watch the two games. Not that you're watching Monday Night Football based on my bets, that would be kind of crazy. But if you are, hey, thanks, I guess. Also, Stugat's quick update here on our listener league that we do,
Starting point is 00:40:59 which by the way is presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. So we have our daily fantasy weekly listener league presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. So we have our daily fantasy weekly listener league presented by Smirnoff. I know that that's kind of a mouthful, daily fantasy weekly league. But it's Sundays, it's the one o'clock games,
Starting point is 00:41:13 the four o'clock games. Last week, big week for me, I finished in fifth place. Can basically put my kids through college because I won $120, which was incredible. This week I was riding high. I said, you know what? I am a fantasy genius. I'm going to do this again.
Starting point is 00:41:29 I may quit my job and just do this, which I do not advise. Don't do that. Keep your job. Keep your job, everyone. Keep your jobs. Don't do that. And I'll tell you why. Unless you don't like your job and you
Starting point is 00:41:37 want to move to a new job, that's on you. But for the most part, Billy's right. Keep your job. But I'm saying, don't make your working decision based on our weekly Daily Fantasy Contest. Right. Presented by Smirnoff. Sure. The world's number one vodka.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Yes. Please drink responsibly. But keep your job. Keep your job. Unless you're Skyler Thompson. If you're Billy Gill, you keep your job, and I'll tell you why, because this week, last week again, as I mentioned, I finished fifth place.
Starting point is 00:42:01 This week, I finished 600 in fifth place. Oh! So only 600 spots. 600 spots lower than last week. Listen, that's the life of daily fantasy. It is. One week, you're great. The next week, you're 631st. But here's the good news. 605th.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Here's the good news. I would not stoop to 605th. Is that a five? I finished in 31st place this week. Congratulations. I didn't win any money, though. You know what? Here's the good thing, though.
Starting point is 00:42:24 I had a team. I had Caleb. I had Derek Henry. I mean, I had a though. I mean. You know what? Here's the good thing though. I had a team. I had Caleb. I had Derek Henry. I mean, I had a team. Guys, it's a blessing and it's a curse because as I was flying high last week, slate clean every single week. This week, 605th. Guess what?
Starting point is 00:42:38 Next week, clean slate again. I could finish first place next week. Wow. The 605th doesn't impact my first at all. We're in a lot of leagues. You drop 600 spots, your season's probably done. Not this one. Right. I could finish first place next week. The 605th doesn't impact my first at all. Where in a lot of leagues, you drop 600 spots, your season's probably done, not this one. Not this one presented by Smirnoff,
Starting point is 00:42:51 the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly, not this one. So you were a winner last week, a loser this week. Winners and losers? Whoa! Wow, that was a transition. How about that? Hey.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Thank you for that. Winners and losers, presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. Wow! Was a transition. How about that? Wow! Hey. Thank you for what that's. Winners and losers, presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. I have two winners and one loser this week. I don't know if you guys have winners and losers that you wanna share. Two winners, one loser this week.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Two winners, one loser. Yeah. Okay. Who do you wanna start with? I wanna start with one of your winners. One of my winners. Not both, just one, yeah. I'm gonna give you the obvious winner.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Okay. The obvious winner this week, the Red Rifle. Yes. Andy Dalton. Yes. Who many of us forgot. Mm-hmm, not me. I mean, how can you forget Andy Dalton, I guess,
Starting point is 00:43:35 but many people weren't thinking, you know what, Andy Dalton, he's still got it. Yep. Andy Dalton, 26 to 37, 319 yards, three touchdowns. He's the only quarterback this season with 300 passing yards and three touchdowns in a game. Andy Dalton, three touchdowns. He's the only quarterback this season with three hundred passing yards and three touchdowns in a game. Andy Dalton, the only one.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Amazing. Big player this week. Was there the entire time for Carolina? Yeah. Yeah. Some could argue big loser this week, Bryce Young, because Andy Dalton proved that maybe the Panthers weren't the problem. Although what helped Bryce Young a little bit was CJ Straud was not very good and hasn't
Starting point is 00:44:06 been very good. We got to keep an eye on him. Bust? It's too, it, whoa. I don't know about that. I just, I asked a question. I didn't say, it was not a definitive statement. I just asked a question.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Here's the thing to keep an eye on, on CJ Straud. Yeah. And I'm keeping an eye on and maybe you pay attention to. So they didn't really make a ton of offensive upgrades this year, they got them Stefan Diggs, but that was pretty much it. They focused on the defense to get the Texans. They got them Joe Mixon.
Starting point is 00:44:33 But my point is, is they didn't put a lot into the offense because they thought, you know what, he'll be fine, he'll make another step. Here's something that you should watch on him is last year his turnover rate would in terms of you know touchdowns interceptions was crazy. He did not throw interceptions. I think he set like a record on how long it was into his career before he threw an interception. So like he did not turn the ball over yesterday
Starting point is 00:44:57 to interceptions. Like keep an eye on him because he's if he's turning the ball over they're gonna regress. This is like what I feel, I used to call this like the Alex Rodriguez thing, where he had a few years where he was so good that when he had a like okay year, now it's, oh, it's so bad. Like Stroud was so good in the beginning, he can only really come down. And that's like not great for him analyst wise.
Starting point is 00:45:19 But he had five interceptions last year and Billy's saying he had two yes to him. That's what I'm saying, but that's incredible for a rookie to only have five interceptions. So now it's like, he's so high, he can only come down. That's what I'm saying, but that's incredible for a rookie to have five interceptions. So now it's like, he's so high, he can only come down. He's regressing to the mean. He was high on our list of sophomore slump watch list this year.
Starting point is 00:45:32 He was high. He was high on the list. You're the top. There's still time to turn around. Anyways, you want another winner? I have one winner before I move on. Oh, okay. Wait, but Billy has another winner.
Starting point is 00:45:39 My winner is attached to his first winner. Is it? Dave Canales. Looks like a genius. He does? Well, no, does he? Yeah, cause he moved. Looks like a genius. He does. Well, no. Does he? Yeah, because he moved off Bryce Young,
Starting point is 00:45:47 because he didn't draft him, right? So he moved off Bryce Young. But Dault was there to start the season. Yeah, but he's like, I don't want to be attached to this guy. Right. Moved on, brought in the veteran. Big win.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I have a loser that's also attached. Offense looks good. I got a loser. I got a loser. One at a time. Hold on. We got to finish Billy's winners. I want Fuentes' loser. I want Mikey A's loser. And then I want Billy's loser. Fuentes first loser. One at a time. Hold on. We gotta finish Billy's winners. No, no. I want Fortes's loser. I want Mikey A's loser and then I want Billy's loser.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Billy's still has a winner though. Okay, go. Loser. Well, my loser, Antonio Pierce. You gotta fire him. It's over. It's terrible. How can you lose that game? How can you lose that game? And like that at home? Terrible. I got it. I got it. It's good. Okay. I'll tell you. I'll tell you how you lose that game. My loser, some members of the Las Vegas Raiders. After the game, Antonio Brown said, as the game went on, there were some individuals that made business decisions, so we'll make business decisions as well.
Starting point is 00:46:32 I don't know who he's pointing at, but I'm looking at Devonte Adams. Okay, wow, interesting. You want him on the Jets. Winner, Billy. Billy has another winner. Winner. The fans at the 49ers Rams game. Really? It was a good game. It was a good game.
Starting point is 00:46:47 I was going to pick an individual player, but I didn't want to because I had two winning players from this game. So I determined because there were two winning players for winners and losers, the fans were the winners of that game. Wow. The winning players, Kyron Williams. Yep. total touchdowns, and Juwan Jennings, three total touchdowns. Both of them had great games, therefore I deemed the fans were the winners of that game. Also, 49ers fans were the big winners because they went to the Rams Stadium
Starting point is 00:47:17 and they had another extra home game this season. I don't know why, it doesn't matter. They got an extra home game out of this. I don't know why the NFL two. I don't know. It doesn't matter. They got an extra home game out of this. I don't know why the NFL decided that football is gonna work in LA and they're gonna get this great LA fan base. And they gave them two teams. It's all transplants.
Starting point is 00:47:33 And neither team ever has a home field advantage. It's insane. I have a winner. Yeah, go ahead. Bo Nix. Oh, okay. I mean Tampa Bay was two and oh. Everyone was praising Baker Mayfield. Bo Nix was 0 and OK. I mean, Tampa Bay was 2 and 0. Everyone was praising Baker Mayfield.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Bo Nix was 0 and 2. The Broncos weren't very good. Bo Nix had the best game of any rookie quarterback this season. We know nothing. We know nothing. We know nothing. We know absolutely nothing. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:57 No nothing. You want a loser? I have a loser. Who? Justin Tucker. Oh, he's a loser. Yeah, Justin Tucker. I mean, missed a 40, 60-yard attempt.
Starting point is 00:48:04 This is his third straight week with a Miss F goal. He used to be mr.

This is very exciting. I'm watching Billy write down his big board bets on the board as we speak. I do want to before we get to his pigs. I do want to speak about last night's game.
Starting point is 00:49:30 The Chiefs played the Falcons prime time Kirk showed up. It was a brutal game that the Falcons should have won. I'm not certain what coaches are doing. They have forgotten the value of a field goal. Let me remind you. It's three points. That's what you get. It's better than nothing. Okay, the Kansas City Chiefs are three and oh, I believe the game. That's a goal. Let me remind you, it's three points.
Starting point is 00:49:45 That's what you get. It's better than nothing. Okay? Uh the Kansas City Chiefs are 3 and 0. I believe Travis Kelsey through three games, their biggest offensive weapon besides Patrick Holmes, of course, has eight catches for 68 yards for
Starting point is 00:50:01 the season. Well, for the season and the only reason people aren't criticizing Travis Kelsey for whatever it is he did in the off season is because the Chiefs are three and up. That's the only reason that Travis might turn it around. He might, you know, might turn out that he has a great season, but the Chiefs, the MVP of that team, the last two years and change, I guess, has been Spags. I have been saying it forever. Steve Spagnola has that defense playing at a ridiculous level, and they made a big stop
Starting point is 00:50:30 last night late in that game. The Travis Kelsey thing is misleading, right? Because last week he had like a 40-yard reception that was called back because of a penalty. So like he's had plays that have come back at the end of the day, I guess, not to say the end of the day, but at the end of the day, the stats don't look great, but I'm not too concerned about him. Are you concerned? Did the Falcons get hosed? No, no, Billy. I'm making the point that the Chiefs are three and oh, even
Starting point is 00:50:52 though Travis Kelsey hasn't really played well, you know, they're three and oh. It doesn't matter if Kelsey's there, if Tariq Hill is there. Doesn't matter. As long as number hill is there. So, we have a pair of Monday Night Football games tonight. Billy has his bets ready or at least one of his bets ready as a jet fan Mike. We get to sit back and root for Jacksonville to pull off the upset against Buffalo and then you have Washington Jaden Daniels in the late game. So Billy, what are the picks coming up here? My first one is actually going to be from the late game and it's going to be friend of the show Austin Eckler over 19 and a half receiving yards. I like it.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Seems low there's been games this season where Austin Eckler has been the leading receiver for the commanders so 19 and a half seems like an easy bet for Austin Eckler over 19 and a half receiving yards for Austin Eckler. I like that Billy is currently erasing the board Yeah, he's gonna start the process. You think it would be a bigger board. Why is that? Well, I mean, I don't know I'm gonna put all of them on there at the same time. Then you know, what's the There get mold do the big reveal. Yeah prep the boards that way. He doesn't have to write it It's it's a huge way. So we're talking it out in show
Starting point is 00:52:20 Yeah, here's the thing is I have a second board here. I'm just using the one though. So we could have done that. I'm gonna get you a third board though. Well then what's gonna happen is I'm just gonna have two blank boards on the floor. Next one, Josh Allen, Anytime TD. Like it, yep.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Good chance of that happening. Anytime Josh Allen is playing on a Thursday or a Monday when we're recording a show, I am going to bet an Anytime TD. I was thinking of changing it up. Not Sundays though? Well, we don't typically do Sunday shows. Okay, you're right.
Starting point is 00:52:50 So whenever, my point is whenever I have a BBBBB here and Josh Allen is an option for an Anytime TD, I'm gonna take it. Yep. Until he proves me wrong. Okay. And even then I'll probably take it the next week because I'll say like, eh, I'll get on that one.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Yeah. Here's the thing. You don't have one on Thursdays. Hold on, here's the thing. I wanted to change things up, and I wanted to say Josh over 1.5 touchdowns, but the Jaguars don't give up a lot of points, and they don't give up a lot of passing touchdowns. You're right. Week 1, they only gave one to the Dolphins, and it was an 80-yard Tyree Kill touchdown that,
Starting point is 00:53:21 you know, was Tyree Kill just making a play. So I don't know that the Jags are gonna give up two passing touchdowns. So I'm going with the safer bet in my opinion, which is a Josh Allen anytime touchdown. Okay, so that's any quarterback would do good with Tyre Kill. Yeah, of course. That one play was Tyre Kill's entire season highlight reel so far. All right, and my last one.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Dolphin fans bailing. Go ahead, Billy. Bills minus five and a half tonight against the Jaguars. Yeah. All right. the to lose tonight. Lose? It would feel good. Yeah, I mean, then the Jets are high for first place. Trevor Lawrence. Good luck with that. Nice and thanks. How come you didn't pick Trevor for an Anytime Touch that? Because he's Trevor Lawrence.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Thank you. Mike gets it. Does he? God bless football. God bless football.
