I'm Chris Kostic along with CJ Medeiros and Justin Tucker. Good slate here for the holiday edition of the Fumble Rooski Podcast. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas. CJ, talk. What are you guys most excited for this weekend?

We know what time it is. We know what time it is on Christmas Eve. Man, I can't wait for Christmas night. I can't wait. I'm nervous, but at the same time excited. This is a potential game of the year. This actually might be game of the year. I can't wait to see it.

Potential Super Bowl matchup, to say the least. Both the Niners and the Ravens, the two top teams in the NFL. We'll get to that later on in the show. Don't I have to say what I'm looking forward to? CJ, I don't care about you. Feelings mutual. Anyway, for me, it's not even football related at all. It's just nice to unwind from last semester, which I don't know. If those listening will know, it was a cookie.

But, you know, just chilling, you know, hanging with family and stuff. It's going to be a welcome change of pace, I tell you what. And we wish you luck for the second semester cj yep when you graduate guess who's going to be there to watch it not me you wait no way i'll come down to watch you graduate oh epic thank you my guy well jesus you have to tell me when graduation day is you have to give me the heads up all right would you go to my if i have a grab party would you go? Depends on the day, but yeah, I would go.

I think it'd be the day after. Sure. Fuck it. Why not? Damn, if Tuck's going, I'm going to have to go. Shit. Sure. Yeah, sure.

You're invited. You're one of the good ones. No, I meant the graduation, not the party, but I'll go to the party too. Yeah, sure. Either way. We'll discuss later. All right. Let's get into it.

Rams taking down the Saints last night. Thursday night football. Matthew Stafford having a pretty solid night. 328 yards, two touchdowns. Story here, though. Puka Nakua. Nine catches, 164 yards, and one touchdown. Was it a huge night for Cooper Cup,

which kind of made me want to kick myself in the nuts because I had him in fantasy for fantasy playoffs, but six catches, 52 yards. Pretty good day out of Chris Olave. Nine catches, 123 yards. And the big thing here, Rams defense shut down Alvin Kamara. Nine carries, 19 yards, five catches, 16 yards. That was basically the name of the game right there, to say the least.

Mm-hmm. And in the case for the Rams, obviously, well, both teams are making a playoff push. Saints are somehow still in range to get the division, but that's just the NFC South. And for the case of the Rams, they're now in the sixth spot, depending how the other games go. Say the Vikings and Seahawks,

since they're in the seven and eight spot, but the Rams have that sixth spot right now. Just general thoughts from you two. I don't know how to say this, but I'm really liking the Rams and the NFC South. They've won four out of the last five. Their rookie in Pukunuku is stepping up. Their second-year player in Kyron Williams is stepping up over 100 yards in the touchdown. They're looking really good. I thought we were going to run over them, but whenever you

have a guy like Matthew Stafford on your team, you always got a chance. And with the pieces surrounding them, they actually might be a threat considering. If that defense can just get it together a little bit more because they're starting to apply more pressure and starting to get Aaron Donald more one-on-ones. I'm really liking this team might be a major dark horse in the NFC, especially if they make the playoffs. They're an underrated team. Saints, unfortunate they couldn't get the job done. Unfortunate loss in the race for the NFC South title. But all in all, they're not out of it yet. They could still somehow sneak in and get a playoff thing. They have a few pieces here and there.

Chris Alavi looked good last night with Derek Carr. Alvin Kamara, please leave. I don't care how you do it. Please leave. They don't deserve you. All in all, good win for them. Bad and tough loss for the Saints. All right.

So, from my point of view, the Rams, Tuck's right. They're heating up at exactly the right time. And just look at that roster. You know, we didn't expect them to do anything, but Matt Stafford is returning to form. Looks like they have a gem an absolute gem and kairon williams and an even bigger gem in the man puka nakua who i think is fourth or fifth now with like all-time rookie receiving yards like that record that's pretty

interesting i know who passed maybe lost on that. I saw a graphic about it this morning. And how about Demarcus Robinson? Six catches, 82 yards, and a touchdown. He just decided, oh, yeah, I exist. And Cooper Cup assisting, you know, with six catches, that's pretty cool. The thing for me, though, is the defense. You have guys like Aaron Donald. And I'm not really convinced with the rest of the team oh yeah you have john johnson he's pretty good but other guys like ernest jones and kello witherspoon kobe turner like i don't know not super super convinced you know what i

mean their defense is going to need a lot more work, but just this offense, this offense is creeping into top 10 territory. When I look at the Saints, Derek Carr with three touchdowns, 319 yards, a pick, 27 for 40. He didn't do terribly, but I don't know. It's just not enough. And here's a thought, right you know the nfc south is very competitive not because of skill but because of the lack of it as as sits right now i want to say tampa is in the lead and i think it's going to come right down to the wire because oh my god this division is abysmal where every team should be tanking, essentially. But someone's got to win. Someone's got to – someone, unfortunately, has to.

And here's something. I believe that if the Saints peter out and miss the playoffs, I think their head coach, Dennis Allen, is probably going to get canned. I mean, this is a guy who probably is more qualified to flip burgers at McDonald's than be an NFL head coach. And I don't know. There's just not a lot to say about this game. However, the Rams, mark my word, they – I mean, if you are one of the top

flight teams in the NFC and you have them on their schedule, be more. That could very well be a trap game. And if the playoffs ended today, they would face the Lions. That would be a very interesting game to watch I'm not going to lie I would watch that game same yeah any other thoughts from you guys

no either way whoever wins the NFC South it's going to be abysmal I'd rather not see the Saints in the playoffsC South, it's going to be abysmal. I'd rather not see the Saints in the playoffs. I personally think it's going to be Tampa Bay at this point. I hope so. I hope it's Tampa.

Yeah, Tampa's just more fun to watch. And Baker's been playing pretty good, if I do say so myself. Very underrated quarterback this year. Mm-hmm. Underrated. We'll step aside for a quick break. When we come back, we'll get into our Week 16 preview. You're listening to the Fumble Rooski Podcast.

Here's Edelman, broken up and the pass is no sign yet Edelman comes down with a football and they're saying it's a catch It's a catch It's caught Diggs Side-eyed

Touchdown Unbelievable Swings it way down the field The walk-in Sammy Watkins! Sammy Watkins for the touchdown! You are listening to the Fulmer Ruski Podcast. Chris Kostich, CJ Medeiros, Justin Tucker.

We get into our Week 16 preview. Breaking news, though, is at 12.36 p.m. The Falcons have been fined $75,000, and Arthur Smith has been fined $25,000 for violating the NFL injury report policy prior to the club's week seven game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers via Ian Rappaport. And this is a situation that was surrounding Bijan Robinson and his lack of snaps during that game. I'm sorry.

Did you say week seven? Week seven. What kind of goofy BS? Like what? Week seven. It's what is this now week 15 week 16 yep ain't that something yeah and uh has anything come out of the bengal situation with uh no i thought they let him off the hook because beng. Yeah. I mean, let's be honest. Not surprising at all. But we'll start out with the Saturday slate.

Two games. Bengals versus Steelers. Bills versus Chargers. We'll start with the earlier game at 4.30 p.m. on NBC. Steelers versus Bengals in Pittsburgh. 48 degrees. This line is three in favor of the bangles um no jamar chase

but i feel like that shouldn't really hinder the bangles all that much considering that they're gonna have to play a mason rudolph who hasn't really played all year or hasn't played all year at all. And, you know, I'm not I'm not saying Mason Rudolph is a bad quarterback. Like he's definitely in the past. He was definitely decent. But I don't know if this is the guy that's going to do a whole lot. For the Steelers in this last playoff push. So I'm going to go Bengals.

Probably buy 10. I don't believe in the Steelers. Because in order to believe in the Steelers to win this game, you would have to have faith in their quarterbacks. And nobody who has faith in these quarterbacks right now. Unfortunately, I'm picking between bad and worse, so I have to go with the Bengals here. Yeah, let's not complicate this too much.

I'm going Cincy. And we all know why. I mean, Jake Browning is relatively unproven, and he doesn't have a Jamar Chase, but Mason Rudolph and the Steelers offense that has somehow, some way, gotten

worse without Matt Canada. Explain that one to me, Science. Good explanation. And another wide receiver that doesn't want to block for his running back. That is crazy behavior. And another wide receiver that's criticizing his quarterback and wants out. Man, what is it with the

Steelers and Diva receivers? I'll never know. They're so talented, though. There's just too much turmoil at this point for the Steelers to even make a run. I don't know. Mike Tomlin is amazing at getting his teams to not losing records, but yes,

this is just, this has to be it at this point. This has to be the season considering how much this team has seemingly turned on each other. It happens every year. Watch them struggle against other teams, but when it comes to us, they'll play up to standard.

Well, yeah, it's, it's a division game. They're usually tougher, but either way comes to us, they'll play up to standard. It's a division game. They're usually tougher, but either way, I don't know. Give me Bengals, like Chris said, by 10. Thank you, Bengals.

Bill's Chargers, the 8 o'clock slot main event for Saturday night. That's going to be played on Peacock. Home game for the Chargers. Chargers, they've sucked in general especially at home two and five at home but the bills two and four on the road this year but really shouldn't matter the way the bill's been playing just bills are hot right now coming off of a year coming off of a beat down against the Cowboys

at home spreads at 12 and a half seeing the way that the charges played against the Raiders I wouldn't be surprised if this was bills by 28 actually now that I think about it, that's very possible. Maybe even. But I wouldn't say 28. I'd say 22. I'd say if it's over under 20, I'd say plus 20, but 22. Let me remind you, no Keenan Allen, no Joey Bosa, and the Bills also have a couple of players that are questionable. Juan Jones and Kyra alarm,

but I still got the bills. Yeah. Yeah. Now here's the thing with Buffalo. You got to remember there. You said two and four on the road. Well, I have news for you.

You're on the road against the chargers and the chargers basically play 17 away games because opposing fans attack the stadium yes so i would argue respectfully that i'm going to pull much water when you go where you're going against a team that has no fans so yeah it's got to be buffalo because the Chargers, do they even have Herbert? They don't. No, they still don't have Herbert. Herbert's done for the year. And a new coat, a recipe for disaster, give me the Bills. If I had to put a number on it, I genuinely wouldn't be shocked if it was like 35 to 10.

The funny thing is I just realized what the Raiders just did to that team. I forgot about that. What was it, 63-21? I forgot about that. Yes, it is over 22. Let me rephrase. It's over 22 now. Yeah, the line should be that much larger.

But in the NFL, it is pretty hard to really blow out a team the way that the Raiders blew out the Chargers last week. That is insane. That is the second time that someone has gone over 60 this year. Yeah. It hasn't happened in a very long time. It hasn't happened since, I think, 1979, I think it was think it was like that i think that's what the graphic was last week i can't remember yeah he got he deserved to get fired but gee yeah that

was just insane like three years too many couldn't couldn't keep them go to the sunday slate we'll start with colts falcons um yeah colts uh lots so here's something the line is atlanta by two and a half and i just don't buy that i just don't buy how you can have the falcons favorite in this game talk about the starter should i because i mean, when Chris is done, because this is nuts. This is who was betting. How did who set the line like that? According to ESPN analytics, they have the Falcons at 50.7 percent, 48.9 percent for the Colts in their matchup predictor.

Colts do have a lot of guys that are questionable. Zach Moss, questionable. Michael Pittman, for some reason, is questionable. He shouldn't even be playing this week. Pocketside, Clayus Campbell, Jake Matthews, Bud Dupree, they're questionable. Probably will be good to go for Sunday. But the way that Arthur Smith just utilizes his talent and just doesn't.

Like for some reason, B. John Robinson's in the doghouse for some reason that can't be explained. If he gets doghouse carries again this week, then I'd expect the Falcons to get embarrassed again the way that they did last week against carolina oh another thing to note taylor heineke starting for uh atlanta as well yeah it's gotta be the colts right yeah look the falcons just lost to the panthers and the panthers crammy if i'm wrong, did not get into the end zone. No, they did not. No, they didn't. So then you have no

business being the Colts with or without Michael Pittman. Yep. I'm going to go Colts by I'm going to go Colts by seven. Colts by ten. I would say Colts by 10. I would say Colts probably by 10 or 13.

Maybe like 23-10. One or the other. Seahawks-Titans. It's in Tennessee. Seahawks have not played that well on the road. They're 2-5 on the road. Titans have been playing pretty good the last few weeks. Granted, they did blow a lead to Case Keenum and the Houston Texans last week.

Seahawks are coming off of a huge upset on Monday Night Football against the Eagles. Can't believe it. Can't believe it with Drew Locke. Seahawks by 3.5. I say the Seahawks ride the momentum with or without Gino Smith. I'm going to go Seahawks by three and a half. Or Seahawks by four, I mean. Excuse me.

It'll probably be Seahawks, but I'm going to take the Titans. I just think they can get the job done. After all, they did beat Miami on Monday night, so they have the potential to do it now. Will they shoot themselves in the foot? Absolutely. But I still think they can get the job done. Yeah, and on top of that too,

you might – Titans will probably not have Will Levis as well. He was on concussion protocol after that game. What else? What else? What else? Trying to find more. Traylon Burke's also on. Injury report as well.

Should have had more of this ready to go. So I would think that the Seahawks would win, Drew Locke or not. And I know the Titans always have upset ability, but Seattle fancies itself as a playoff team and they're fighting for their life. And the Titans are pretty much dead. And I know they're still going to keep fighting, but I feel like Seattle just might want it a little more, Drew Locke or not. Also, like Chris just said, Will Levis is in concussion protocol you saw that hit he took last game he had and just how he was laying on the ground he looked like peter griffin like after a prep fall yes and uh i i don't i just i can't see the titans winning it especially without

trey long berks they're just going to be on the ground and all Seattle will have to do is stack the box. Yeah, so, Derek, you're going to have to have a historic night. But I believe in you, Derek. I would say both teams would be stacking the box too because Kenneth Walker had a really good game on Monday night as well. Mm-hmm. Oh, you saw that move he put on for the touchdown? Disgusting.

Beautiful. He had a really good game. So we all have Seahawks moving on. Lions, Vikings. It's in Minneapolis. Lions by three. Lions are five and two on the road. Vikings are two and four at home.

That's. Just like any team that has a losing record at home is just, how can you let yourself do that? How are you even a playoff team right now? Like they're playing, they would be seventh right now if the playoffs stopped today. How? Yeah.

And Vikings coming off of a pretty disappointing loss against Cincy last week, a game that they blew. Lions coming off of a Saturday night beatdown against the Broncos. They handled the Broncos easily. I'm going to go Lions by 10. Do you want to take that first? I'll take it first. I'm trying to figure, because the Vikings defense has

been playing better under Brian Flores. I'm trying to see if I trust them enough to take them. And I can't do it. I got to go Lions. I got the Lions by seven. I know that division play is always tougher, but either way, the Vikings, like outside of Justin Jefferson, what are you really going to do? The way I sit, it's probably, I mean, even with Justin Jefferson, it's like, so what? I mean, you're down to Nick Mullins and a defense

that will break more than bend. So, yeah, it should be the Lions, especially with guys like Sam LaPorter and Amon Ross St. Brown. Give me the Lions. Probably, I would say, 27 to

13. I think it's going to be a lot closer. Yeah, it is a divisional matchup. You do have to remember that. Yeah, but still, the Vikings quarterback room has enough firepower to be mistaken for a water pistol. So I don't know. Moving on to the Toilet bowl game of the week it's the worst offense in the league versus the

worst defense in the league you know what i'm talking about it's the it's the commies versus the jets in met life jets by three um hold on i just had something about Zach Wilson up. Great. Now I got to find it again. Zach Wilson? I don't think Zach Wilson's playing. I just had it too. Where is it? Who are they going to start over him? Well, he's on production protocol.

That's why. They're going to start that one fella there. I can't remember his name. Boyle? Yeah. Can you say Boyle? Maybe. I can't remember his name. Boyle? Yeah. Can you say Boyle? Maybe. I don't know. Or some other scrub. What do you want? I feel so bad for Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson.

As of an hour ago, 1251 PM Eastern Standard Time right now that we're recording. As of an hour ago, Zach Wilson is out for Sunday. According to Rap Sheet, Zach Wilson is out for Sunday. According to Rap Sheet, Robert Salas said Aaron Rodgers will not be the third QB. Trevor Simeon and Bright Ripon are the team's QBs. As they should be, Aaron Rodgers shouldn't step on the field

for the rest of this year. Don't just step on that field in MetLife. I mean, God. Absolutely not. You already lost him once this year, dude. Don't lose him. Just don't lose him again. I mean, we all knew he wasn't going to come back despite all the nonsense he was touting.

Now, I'm going to take the Jets. It's going to be ugly because the Jets' defense is going to put the clamps on the Commander's offense. And the Commander's defense couldn't stop a light breeze. Give me the Jets, but in a weird, just ugly game, probably like 1410. It's going to be low scoring. I'm going to go the opposite. I'm going to go with the commies on this one. I'm going to say that Sam howell had himself a good game

yeah i'm a sam howell fan so i respect it yeah i'd say sam howell has himself a 300 yard game um because he's still it's not like he doesn't have weapons he's still got curtis samuel terry uh mclaurin and johan dotson and johanon. I think that they'll be able to do some work on the jets defense, but it's definitely going to depend on if Ron Rivera is, uh, man, that's the big if, isn't it?

Yeah. Well, considering that it took them over four minutes to score from the one yard line, uh, last week, which also they, they started with a little over four and a half minutes to go on the one yard

line. Yep. And by the time they finally scored, there was under two minutes left in the game and they, and they were down by 14. Granted they scored again, but it didn't matter. It didn't matter. Granted, they scored again, but it didn't matter. It didn't matter.

But regardless, that just gives you an idea of how incapable Ron Rivera is of coaching an NFL team. Unless he was just so in full attack with the tank at that point, but that's just ridiculous. So CJ's got Jets.

I got commies. Tuck, who do you got? I got commies. This game is terrible. Commies by 10. Plus. Packers, Panthers. Packers by five.

This is in Charlotte. Packers is another team that hasn't played all that well on the road either. They're two and five on the road this year. I don't think that's going to matter much. I'm going to take the Packers by 10. Sometimes when I look at the Packers, they look like a real deal team. Like, all right, this is what I expect from them. And then all of a sudden they'll play terrible, like out of nowhere.

They shouldn't lose to the Panthers. It's the Packers, but it's an obvious one for them. If they lose this game, conversations need to be had. Yeah, the Packers really are one of those teams that just, you never know which team you're getting. You could say that about a lot of teams, but the Packers especially are just one of those teams you really don't know what you're going to get. You don't know if you're going to get the Packers team that blew out the Lions

on Thanksgiving, or you don't know if you're going to get the Packers that, or Jordan Love throws two interceptions in the last four minutes of the game against the Steelers. You know, the one that beat the Chiefs or the one that lost to the Falcons. I don't know which one I'll get at times. Exactly. I'm probably going Packers. And I feel like it's going to be a game, though, because nothing can ever come easy for the Cheeseheads.

Especially since, to my knowledge like you said they've been abysmal on the road i would imagine it's going to be like 20 to 10 and it's going to be probably something along the lines of 10 10 going into the fourth before the packers realize oh wait i should win this so we all got packers move on to the last 1 o'clock game of the week. Browns versus Texans. Bad news for Texans fans. Still don't know if C.J. Stroud is going to play. Still on concussion protocol for this week.

With that being said, if C.J. Stroud doesn't play, but they'll also probably get Nico Collins back, most likely. But rap sheet, C.J. Stroud not yet back at practice for Houston, a bad sign for his availability this week, still in concussion protocol. If that's the case, give me Joe Flacco by seven. talk doesn't like that you know what flacco oh by the way talk do you mind if i take this so i can you can take this i would say so i can uh so we don't have to rush through your suffering there. For me, I don't trust the Texans with old General Mills

as their quarterback. Well, Case Keenum is going to be a starter, not Mills. And I don't trust Case Keenum either. Be it Davis Mills or be it Case, the eternal backup Keenum, give me Joe Flacco because that defense, it's got to be that defense.

Give me Flacco. Said no one past 2014, but that's either here nor there. You don't want to see Flacco in the yop, Tuck. You don't want to see him. If we're the number one seed, I'll be fine because he'd have to get past Miami or Kansas City, but

it's fine. I hope Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl with the Browns. Oh, there's not enough world. If he actually wins a Super Bowl with Cleveland,

I'll be so mad. I'll respect him, but I... Cleveland. It would be the funniest thing. I know they won't, but it'll be the funniest thing ever if they do. It'll just be so egregious on the timeline

on X when Cleveland fans talk about Joe Flacco won us a Super Bowl. I won't be on Twitter for a month if that happens. And you already know. You already know. They won't do it without – they'll do it without Chubb. They'll probably do it with a bunch of other injuries too. That's the worst part.

Chubb's not even there to offset it. It'll just solely be because of Flacco. That's how they'll win it. Well, what's your prediction then? If Stroud's not available, I got Cleveland because that defense is just so good. I really was Cleveland lost last week, but, you know, I can't get things that I want because you know people can't catch but you know it's neither here nor there uh cleveland's on a roll joe flacco's looking good as their quarterback

even better than deshaun watson which is saying something but all in all cleveland is a playoff caliber team and right now houston is still trying to get their way into the playoffs. So, I don't know. I see Cleveland winning this one by three. I like it. I like it. Move on to – It hurts, but they will win. Move on to the late afternoon games. Jaguars-Bucks.

Jaguars coming off of a pretty bad loss against Baltimore. Don't really know if Trevor Lawrence is still dealing with or how much he's still dealing with that high ankle sprain. You know they're going to take the living hell out of it. There was a Trevor Lawrence report on here. Oh, Jaguars are likely potentially to play this weekend without Trevor Lawrence due to a concussion. So as of an hour ago, Doug Peterson says Trevor Lawrence

will practice today, still under concussion protocol, must clear to travel to Tampa tomorrow. Hmm. Bucks currently have the line at two and a half in favor of Tampa Bay, which to be honest, it's not, it's not a bad line. I,

to be honest, I might actually have to take Tampa Bay here. I'm leaning Tampa as well. Yeah. I've been liking the way Tampa's been playing. I think that they'll definitely find a way to capitalize off of the Saints losing last night and take full control of the NFC

South in this last three weeks of playoff or last three weeks of the regular season for the playoff push. Give me Tampa by three. Give me Jacksonville. I still think with the weapons that they have and that defense that they have, I think they can pull this one out.

Don't get me wrong. I like Tampa Bay, and I like what Baker has done there. And surprisingly, I don't think they should tank just yet. But right now i still think jacksonville has a little bit of an edge there's some uh sham vibes that are coming out of the jaguars considering that they seem to be incapable of beating teams that are weaker than they are they cannot punch below their weight and And the Bucs, I don't know. There's something about them that worries me.

I mean, it's just the absolute volatility of their offense, but either way, I think that Tampa pulls off the upset, you know, in this old Florida Bowl in Tampa. I believe it will be 27-23. Now, with that being said, if the Jaguars do go without Trevor Lawrence, they will have to start C.J. Beathard, which... And he is garbage. He did play pretty well against the Bengals when he had to stub in.

He went 9-for-10, 63 yards. He got sacked twice. it wasn't his fault jaguars are up there and sacks allowed this year yeah i just that was a snapshot in time can you do it for a full game that's where i uh have a bit of a question yeah definitely agree with that. The other toilet bowl game for the week, Cardinals-Bears. I want to go Bears on this. It's in Chicago. Give me Bears by seven. I don't know.

Yeah, Bears by seven. Cardinals by ten, all because they couldn't beat Cleveland last week. They had one job. They pissed their pants. They couldn't finish the job. I'm picking the Cardinals. Just strictly off emotion. Uh-huh.

I don't know. I like the Bears' defense right now, though. I mean, they were still able to get four turnovers off of Joe Flacco. Still didn't get the job done. Still didn't get the job done. Still didn't get the job done, but I think they didn't do good enough. Sure. They didn't do good enough, but the way that this defense has been playing and how they've been rushing

the quarterback and stopping the run game, I'm liking the bears. True. And I do believe some of the skilled position players are letting their quarterback down. Yeah. But all in all, they should have won that game i'm still upset now plain and simple the cardinals are in a rebuilding year i mean the bears kind of are too and they're disappointing but i just don't see the cardinals defense being able to contain guys like DJ Moore or Justin Fields when he gets out of the pocket. So give me the bears.

However, it is going to be an ugly game. I'm going to assume it's going to be something like, I don't know, like 17 to 10 or something. Something weird. Yeah. A goofy score there. Yeah. So last game on the slate for the late afternoon,

the battle of two seeds, the Cowboys and the Dolphins. And this one's interesting because – I got Cowboys. That's yeah. It's you look at, I don't, I don't know though. Cause the Cowboys have not played good on the road at all this year.

They're three and four on the road. Yeah. They're averaging. What? Sorry. I thought, Oh my, everything's screwed up right now. I thought I had it.

Cowboys are averaging less points per game than they are points allowed on the road this year by a pretty good margin. Especially yards. It's... This is a toss-up. And Vegas has this is a toss-up. And Vegas has it as a toss-up as well. Miami has to spread by one.

Miami's 6-1 at home. I don't know. I want to say Dells because I want them to treat it as like we got embarrassed by the Bills. We're not about to be embarrassed by the Dolphins. However, with that said, if Tyreek Hill is healthy and he's playing, they're going to need Stephon Gilmore, the interception leader, to step up big time.

They're going to need that. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that he expects Devon A-Chain to play. Also reiterated that Tyreek Hill had no setbacks, and he feels good about Hill playing on Sunday. That's good. Yeah, you guys are right. This is a toss-up.

I mean, if this were an election, this would be decided by less than 1% as far as a prediction goes. And from where I sit, there's one thing we've got to realize. The Cowboys are abysmal on the road. This is a fact. We've seen it with our own eyes. However, for Miami, if Tyreek Hill is not going to play and he has a setback then i would lean dallas but since he is i i have to tilt in miami's direction not just because dallas is bad on the road but that stefan gilmore i would say is their

only like true lockdown corner because bland is very good he stuffs the stat sheet with interceptions, but dude can get gashed. And I mean just, he gets gashed when he's not catching picks. Kind of like, you know, the Trayvon Diggs double-digit picks here, but he gave up a lot of yards. So, that being said,

and plus, not only do you have Tyreek Hill, you also have Jalen Waddle, who's just another Tyreek Hill. And Gilly can't be everywhere at once. And when you combine that with A-Chain and Mostert, who are the fastest running back duo in the league, I don't know. Not to mention, Miami's defense is going to get gashed by Dallas plenty. But at the end of the day in the arms race, speed kills, and that speed will carry the Dolphins to victory in probably the game of the week, perhaps,

with Miami getting a, like, they're going to leave the game weary, but it's going to be a worthwhile 38-35 victory. I need the Dolphins to lose. I need the Cowboys to win. Hopefully Dak shows us that he is an MVP candidate and not the Dak of old. I need this new Dak to show up. Yeah, you really need deck to show up here,

especially the so-called MVP candidate that everyone supposes he is. I think that this is going to be a bounce back game for Dallas, but give me Dallas by three. Yes. All right. All right. So we'll take a quick break. When we come back, we'll go through the three Monday night games.

You're listening to the Fumble Rooski podcast. Here's Edelman broken up and the pass is no sign yet. Edelman comes down with a football and they're saying it's a catch. It's a catch! Sideline! Touchdown! Unbelievable! Swings it way down the field to Watkins! Sammy Watkins for the touchdown! You're listening to the Fumble Rooski Podcast by Power 88 Dean Radio and Secret Weapon Consulting, Chris Kostich, CJ Medeiros, Justin Tucker.

As we now move on to the Monday Night Football slate, all national televised Raiders versus Chiefs, Eagles versus Giants, and the main event, Raiders, Raiders versus Chiefs, Eagles versus Giants, and the main event, Raiders, Ravens and 49ers. We'll start with the Raiders. Chris, do we forget Patriots-Broncos on Sunday night? Oh, wow, we did. Yeah, we did. I just wanted to make sure we circle back just real rapid fire here.

Yeah, okay. Sorry about that. Yep. Broncos. Broncos by 15 or more. No, I don't know. The Patriots defense is actually pretty solid, especially against the run, which means Russ is going to have to beat them with his arm, which he can do.

But I don't know. I'm not really buying their receiving threats outside of Cortland Sutton. And you know that's going to be Bill's main objective. I think the Broncos are going to win, but they're going to win ugly. Because, you know, Bailey Zappi is always good for one really bad pick a game. So I would say Denver, but by like three, probably something like 1310. It's going to be just a sloppy, just borderline unwatchable game. Yeah, Denver has the line by seven.

I don't think they're going to cover. I'd say it's going to be more in like the 6-5-4 range in favor of. I'm still going to go Denver. But like you said, CJ, I think New England of, I'm still going to go Denver, but like you said, CJ, I think it's, I think knowing what's going to cover on this one. Yeah.

I still get Broncos winning decisively. I mean, who says that four, five, six, seven isn't decisive. Not according to tuck. It's not,

but that's all right. Let's move on to the primetime games. Raiders versus Chiefs. This one's on CBS. Chiefs have it by 10. Both teams coming off of wins. Chiefs coming off of a win against the Patriots. Can't remember the score for that one off the top of my head.

37-17. Yep. um can't remember the score for that one off the top of my head 47 17 yep and then the raiders obviously coming off of that historic beat down against uh the chargers where they won 64 21 i highly doubt they're gonna repeat that um no the only real thing that I have is that the last time, the first time these two teams played, the Raiders were able to go out to a 14-0 lead. And get abused. Yeah, and then they let up 28 straight and lost. I'm going to think it's going to be something, not the Raiders going out to a 14-point lead,

but in the sense of the score, it's going to be very similar. I'm going to go Chiefs by 14. Hey, listen, if the Raiders of Thursday night football show up, they can beat anybody. But I don't think they'll show up again for quite some time. So I'd pick Kansas City to get the job done here. A lot of it is Casey is just better than the Chargers.

Better coaching. Their quarterback is actually starting, and Casey's defense is much better. And I got Kansas City probably something like 30 to 13. Sounds pretty realistic. Yeah. This one should be a quick one as well. Eagles Giants, 430 Eastern kickoff on Fox. Spread is it Eagles by 13 and a half.

Is there Tommy DeVito or no Tommy DeVito? I don't know if you guys have heard about it at all yet. I think Tommy DeVito might play, but I'm not sure. Currently not seeing him on the injury report. Let me check something else real quick. But either way, it should be Philly it should emphasis on should but philly likes to underperform this year and on top of that i just i don't trust them anymore and we all know division games are a wee bit tougher i feel like it's gonna be closer than it should be for a bit but philly will come out with a win.

But the Giants will cover. Give me Philly by 10, probably like 27-17 or something like that. I do not think the Giants will cover. I think the Eagles will dominate. Yeah, I don't see. All you have to do is just target James Bradbury because Bradbury could not cover a toddler yeah and Darius Slay don't know if he's gonna play either um yeah you really do just have to target James

Bradbury and you're all set but with that being said what I don't know it It's definitely a weird spot. I just don't – I also don't really see the Giants covering, but it's going to be like a close cover for the Eagles. I'm going to go Eagles by 14. They need a get-right game. They've lost three straight now and a bad one on Monday Night Football. This is their get-right game. Give me the Eagles by 14.

Yeah, they definitely need a dominant win right now to make them feel like, hey, we're still Super Bowl contenders here. Yeah. And now, moving on to the main event of the weekend. The potential Super Bowl preview. The 49ers versus the Ravens. Talk to me.

Christmas Day. The NFL schedule makers couldn't have made this any better. A magical night that will be ended by a magical game. The Ravens, the top seed in the AFC. The 49ers, the top seed in the NFC.

The 49ers have the spread by five. The Ravens are six and one on the road. The Niners are five and one at home. Oh, baby. This can't get any better. Two number one teams going at it. Oh, baby. It can't get any better. Two number one teams going at it. Oh, baby. It's on the line.

I can't wait. Prime time, 49ers, Lamar Jackson in prime time. Oh, man. This, it can't get any better. When the schedule came out and I saw when and where we were facing the 49ers, I was like, this is game of the year. Off-ramp. So with that being said, give me Baltimore and give me Baltimore proudly. I've been hearing all this talk about the 49ers and their plus five. Absolutely not. We're not going for none of that. None of it.

Christian McCaffrey isn't doing anything. I'm sorry, Christian McCaffrey. I think you're having an MVP caliber season. Probably won't get it because you're not a quarterback. But still, nonetheless, all in all, Brock Purdy, I'm sorry. You're not going anywhere. You're not dotting us up like you do everybody else. We ain't going for any of that.

The Baltimore Ravens defense is like that. 49ers, I'm sorry we got to do y'all dirty on your own home turf. It's nothing personal, but we need this number one seed more than you guys need it. So all in all, all this bulletin board material about how we're going to get ran off the field by the 49ers, enough said. I got Baltimore winning this game 27-30. The Ravens coming in with the second-ranked defense. The 49ers coming in with the second-ranked offense. Both teams with top 10 defenses and offenses. Oh, man.

Oh, geez. I don't know which way to sway. Give me the Niners by seven. Oh, God. This is tough. Forget what I said about Dolphins-Cowboys. This. Oh, this is good.

This is the real toss-up. This just makes your nuts tingle, man. I'm just saying. You should see a doctor. But, I don't know, man. This is gonna be something.

Give all. You know something? I want to say one thing before I give my prediction. If the Niners win, then I do not want to hear any more questions about Proc Purdy. They are legit because every team has a knock against them. Now, however, I do think that if the Ravens want to win, they need to air it out because Toucher said the Niners aren't going to run all over you.

Well, you're not going to run all over you well you're not going to run on the niners no keaton mitchell no whatever you know i mean your running back room is hurt you're gonna have to beat him through the air unless lamar goes off for 150 yards which i would not advise because he's been staying healthy this year but if i look at it on paper and I evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, then I look at the fact that this is in San Fran. Give me the Niners by one. 28-27. Okay.

By one. And if the Ravens win, I could see it going the same way it would just be by one i don't even i think this even though it's like a three-point spread the spread will be covered i assure you yeah honestly now that i think of it now i think of it so looking at the stats the niners have coming for the past game niners are middle of the pack in the pass game in terms of yards allowed. The Ravens are in the top 10. Definitely a better passing defense in that sense. But both teams honestly aren't – well, in the case of the 49ers,

they're third in yards allowed this year. The Ravens are on the outside looking in for the top 10 when it comes to yards. So we don't care about yards. It's all about points for us. It's all about points. If you want to be, I will reiterate, if you want to beat the Niners, you must do it through the air.

Like I said, I don't think the Niners are going to run the Ravens out of the game, but I also don't think the Ravens are going to run the Niners out of the game. Both ways, it's just not happening. It's going to be an air show and I'm here for it. Honestly, considering that both teams are averaging 16 points

per game allowed this year, I wouldn't be surprised if this game gets finished under 20 points. I wouldn't be surprised if this game gets finished under 20 points. I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, these things are a funny way of happening, but there's just going to be fireworks.

True. A tie could happen. And no one wins. The NFL would be sent into a frenzy if that happens. And on top of that, the Niners and the Ravens are both top five in points scored this year. So this could even be a 30-plus point game for both teams. Both teams could easily put up 30,

and they could easily allow less than 16, 14. Man. Man. Jeez. Less than 16, 14. Man. Jeez. There really is no easy answer for it. Unless you're Tuck, because you're obviously going to go Ravens. Yeah. The Ravens could be down Lamar and he'd still go Ravens. If we're down Lamar, I'm not picking the Ravens.

Oh, word? I can't do it. How do you like that? I can't do it. Even though I like that? I can't do it. Even though I'd still – I wouldn't say it with confidence. I probably would, but I wouldn't say it with confidence. There we go. All right.

Here's my hot take prediction. I'm going to go Niners by six. This game goes to overtime. Niners get the winning touchdown. Okay. That's a bold strategy, Cotton. That's my hot take for the week. Let's see if it pays off.

Let's see if it pays off. So we'll move on. We'll take a quick break. When we come back, we'll have our naughty and nice list, the contract edition for our Christmas show. You are listening to the fumble ruski podcast here's edelman broken up and the pass is no sign yet edelman comes down with a football.

They're saying it's a catch. This is what makes Skyline touchdown unbelievable. Swings it way down the field to Watkins. Sammy Watkins for the touchdown. You are listening to the Fumble Rooski podcast. CJ Medeiros, Justin Tucker, and myself, Chris Kostic. We move on to the naughty and nice list of our Christmas show, the contract edition. A lot of good contracts and a lot of bad contracts.

CJ, take it away. Thank you. Actually, before you take it away, breaking news. Wait for it. Not for the intro. Here we are. We out here. All right, let's go.

What's going on, man? Breaking news. Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman clears concussion protocol. Ooh. All right. Still taking Colts. Still taking. Well, obviously still taking Colts, but that's in terms of how ugly that hit was.

Yeah. It's great to see that he's actually playing. He probably shouldn't even be playing, to be honest. Or they bribed a doctor. Anyway, here's the season, folks. It's the most wonderful time of the year. And depending on what region of the world you're from,

it is a commonly held belief that Jolly Old St. Nick will come reward good children and give bad ones coal. You know, that's what we were all told as children's, you know, we keep the legend going. We have fun. So when we look at Naughty or Nice Contract Edition, we're going to be looking at some of the big contracts that have been doled out and seeing who lived up to it, AKA being nice or who did not being naughty. And by the way,

we like to define a big contract as anyone making over 25 or 20 million. So without further ado, here we go. We, you know what? We'll start off with the naughty. So first up, Derek Carr, four years. I i don't care we did last night

he's on a four-year 150 million dollar deal what do you think it's not looking good to start it's not looking good to start it's looking pretty shaky i'll grant you he has good or decent numbers 67 completion percentage 3 400 yards 19 touchdowns eight picks but on that contract absolutely not my brother you are getting coal yeah you kind of expect more considering you thought this and we thought the saints might have been a playoff team this year with the pieces surrounding them maybe not on the defensive side but offensively they had something yeah they do yeah but the nfc self was just that bad i thought maybe the saints could push it nah derrick card does play a factor in that you are correct and now

moving down the naughty list oh this man, he's been very bad this year. Jimmy Garoppolo, who this offseason was given a three-year $72 million deal. And, Tuck, I swear to God, if you make a joke about a different kind of naughty than Jimmy Garoppolo, I'm going to lose it. All right. I know you were thinking about that. I know you're thinking of it. I was about to call him GQ Jimmy, not the other nickname. No, but see, here's the thing.

I know he's hurt, but still. He was 3-3, 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns, nine picks. On three years, $72 million. Absolutely not. Jimmy, you don't even get Cole. You're probably going to get a visit from three spirits. Let's be honest. I didn't know he was hurt.

What did he hurt? His groin? Probably. Oh, you can't. Yeah, nice. I love it. I love it. All right.

Moving on down the list. Moving on down the list. Chiefs tackle Jawan Taylor, or as i like to call him mr false start have you seen like if you guys have watched any chiefs games this year yes have you seen this guy jumping off sides like i mean oh my god this man must have some severe anxiety the way literally everything will make this man jump like it's not even funny it's so bad eight false starts this year eight and six holding all on a four-year 80 million dollar deal no you're not getting coal in your stocking you're getting cold chuckeded at you. Not to mention all the holding calls he doesn't get called for.

Oh, yeah. And the false start calls he doesn't. I was watching the patchy Chiefs game, and there literally could have been like five false starts called on him. And it's been this way the entire year. We can continue on with the past Chiefs game. You can see the way all he does is bear hug people. Like, all he does is bear hug people. all he does is bear hug people there could have

been like 20 holding calls on him from him bear hugging the edge rusher he does he doesn't even try he's he's always grabbing that back nameplate on players it's ridiculous yeah and but yeah either way eight false starts and six holding no no no no no no no no no naughty and next is uh new york jets wide out alan lazard who is on a ready for this a four-year 44 million dollar deal are you kidding me say that again one more time four years 44 million to haul in 23 balls uh 311 yards and one singular touchdown listen i don't care what anybody tells me i need a friend like aaron rogers because he'll always keep me paid and he'll always keep me company i don't care i need a friend like aaron rogers that'll support me through tough times

the crazy thing is man i never thought of alan lazard as a bad receiver and i felt like he was going to be a great it was going to be a good situation with him back with rogers again but like it just has not panned out that way whatsoever obviously because roger's done but and uh moving on down the naughty list we have oh this one hurts juju smith schuster of the new england patriots three years 25 million this man has 29 catches 260 yards and one touchdown although he does have like another rushing touchdown so i guess he technically is too but oh really three years 25 mil with like possibly 33 all told and you go ahead and do this i'm sad i'm very sad i had so much hope for you it's it's just the fact that you know you you signed juju to the same contract that you could have given Jacoby Myers.

Yeah. A lot of it is though. I just don't think Myers wanted to come back. Yeah. And that's the other thing too, is that, uh, the Myers deal,

we'll probably talk about it later on the nice list, but the Myers deal was three years, 300 or 300, three years, 33 mil. That's yeah. You couldn't just throw another eight mil at him. Just stick around.

Bill never forgave him for throwing that pass backwards to make Johnson and getting intercepted. He'll never forget. I don't think he did, but that's either here nor there. Cause we're, we're going to keep chugging along as we are on the third to last member of our naughty list. Defensive tackle draymond jones who got a three-year 51 million dollar deal to get 21 tackles and three and a half sacks and i know what you're thinking oh but he's just a

defensive tackle that's true but he is abysmal against the run he is a turnstile. He will running backs literally target him. He has been a non-factor against the run. And either way, $51 million, even at the time, was a little much for Draymond Jones. Who paid him? Seattle, I said. No, I didn't hear Seattle. I was just making sure. That's why they got Leonard Williams.

That's why. Yeah. Yep. Because my guy, you would probably be more effective running. You're probably more effective defending against the run if you were not there. But I digress. Moving on. We have a corner.

Cameron Sutton of the Detroit Lions, who I don't know if you know, was given a three-year deal worth $33 million. This man has, you want to know how many interceptions he has? Zilch. Nada. He does not have any interceptions. He has, like, I want to say three or four passes defensed, one forced fumble, or passes deflected, whatever the term is, or passes defended.

That's it. Nope. Nothing. You got nothing. Teams are targeting you. You are not worth $33 million. And finally on the naughty list, you saw this one coming. On a four-year, $25 million deal, Miles Sanders of the Carolina Panthers.

Yeah, that's a heartbreaker. There's a reason why you let him go. There's a reason. 3.3 yards of carry, 401 yards, and not three, not two, but one touchdown? Shame. He lost his starting

job to Chubba. That's all it was. Chubba Hubbard took his starting job. Oh, my guy. You might not be getting one lump of coal. You might be getting a whole coal mine. But again, it's Carolina. Yeah, just reboot the franchise. Sell the team, Kepper.

Miles Sanders was still a good back with Philly. His problem was staying healthy. And for some reason, his career just took a freaking nosedive when he got to Carolina. Yeah, and now he has a new issue. It's called getting more than four yards a carry. Yeah, and it's weird because you got a guy like Adam Thielen that got signed over there as well. And Adam Thielen's on the wrong side of 30 at the moment,

but he's still having a very good season. Yeah, yeah. But we got to move on. We're also comparing apples and oranges with receivers and running backs in today's game. Fair, but we got to move move on we're going to end this on the more positive side with our nice list so who's number one here well this is no ranking but who's first up jesse bates safety of the atlanta falcons who as you all know got paid and

i know tuck's happy to have him out of his hair. He got paid, and he's playing like he got paid. Yes, sir. Four years, $64 million. Beautiful. Thank you, Cincinnati. I appreciate it. And what does he do with his new money?

Why, he only ties so far his career high in combined tackles with 111 and gets a career high in picks at five jesse bates your spot on the nice list was well earned what do you guys think deserved deserved yep and here's somebody who i just kind of forgot about bobby okariki of the the New York football giants, who was given a four year, $40 million deal this off season. At the time, I thought it was a gross overpay,

but Oh my God, this guy has been a tackling machine with 122 tackles, 77 being solo, eight passes defended to, and two interceptions and four force fumbles you know what turned out to be an over what i thought was an overpay turned out to be a great investment bobby deserves a spot on the nice list and i would assume you'd agree yeah i mean yeah i wish they played better but him yeah so he's a pretty good this year he has 28 more tackles than the

next guy on the list for the giants yeah like that he's a one-man wrecking crew literally and moving on it's not a big contract but it is over 20 mil two years 26 million to deandre hopkins 59 catches, 919 yards, and six touchdowns. And considering the fact we thought he'd be a shell of himself, it took him a bit to get started, but at the end of the day, he's given them a great ROI, even though the Titans

have all the momentum of a man stuck in quicksand. So, I think it's worth it. I think it's worth getting him a spot on the nice list. Yeah, I mean, you said it. I think it's worth getting a spot on the nice list. Yeah, I mean, you said it pretty perfectly. He went off to a cold start. Now he's found his way again. And he was a huge reason why they beat Miami on Monday night a couple weeks ago.

That's right. And now. I can't even blame him. It's more so his quarterback situation hasn't been the best until Will started. That's fair. Exactly. And this is someone we mentioned earlier next on the nice list we're halfway done adam phelan yeah years 25 million four touchdowns 870 yards all

all while being on the wrong side of 30 and being the only thing that bryce young can trust yeah it good for bry Bryce to actually have something, but everything else around him is bad, so we don't see it as much. But nice job. Nice job, Adam Thielen. He's the only bright spot on that Panthers team, and I've said this so many times on the show. If you have him on fantasy, keep him in your starting lineup.

Dude gets 10 to 15 targets a game. It's ridiculous. That's right. And keep chuggingugging along oh this one hurts me jacoby myers who has 59 catches 648 yards and seven touchdowns while being wide receiver two and getting a decent three-year 33 million deal yeah enough said about that yeah and uh this is a big boy contract right here four years 72 million dollars to linebacker tremaine edmonds he's been everywhere for the bears he with 92 tackles six passes uh defense or deflected, a forced fumble, and four interceptions. Pretty dang good. So, yeah, I think he's doing just fine. He's another big reason why the Bears' defense

has been stepping up to the plate these last five weeks. Mm-hmm. He's been leading the charge, and it has led him to a spot on the nice list have all the toys you want my guy you've earned it and up next for the philadelphia eagles no no no he was on the eagles he is now on the san francisco 49ers javon hargrave, four years, $84 million, 23 solo tackles, but a combined 40 combined tackles, six sacks, and even a pass batted down at the line. I know what you're thinking, oh, but that's not great numbers.

But he is a beast against the run, oftentimes sealing the gap and just plugging up all the holes in an offensive line, and 13 QB hits and seven tackles for a loss. You know, I dare say that's a nice list of material. And finally, sorry, Tuck, from the Cincinnati Bengals, Orlando Brown Jr. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. That's all right. Now, look, now, if Tuck were playing Santa Claus, he would probably put everybody who even cuts the grass in front of bangles stadium on the naughty list but

but i mean let's just face it he he has shaped up tremendously and even though the bangles are struggling with injuries he has still been a top 10 left tackle living up to a four-year 64 million dollar deal and i respect the heck out of it. Do you have the stats in front of you of how many sacks he's given up? Not in front of me, no. Okay. Because I was going to try to pull them up real quick, but we don't really have a lot of time.

Yeah. Also, honorable mention, Roquan Smith. Yeah, that's true. That's true. But he technically wasn't part of this free agency class. Because I got all this off spot track. I guess it doesn't count. It depends on when he signed. If it did, he would be there.

Because he signed an extension before everything. So it doesn't matter. But either way, I tell you, the nice was really just some of the nicest we've ever seen. But, oh, man, the naughty. Like I said, some of these guys might be getting a visit from three spirits, not even Cole. Anything else we want to add? Nope. Go Ravens.

That's it. Go Brons. That's it. Go Broncos. We need the Pats to lose. Hey, man. A pick's a pick. I do want to wish all of our followers on behalf of Adam, because Adam's not with us.

We do want to wish you all a Merry Christmas or a Happy Holidays if you don't celebrate it. With that being said, that'll do it for us.
