It wasn't that bad Six and ten for your champion and your two-time champion joined him, jimmy Reno. Seven and nine as well as yours truly. So, but that was just week one. Really, get started tonight. So get the bets, get the money ready. Time to cash it in. Boy, it's a good one tonight, man, the Command commanders of Washington are taking the Packers of Green Bay and Lambeau Field. I got Justin, I got Jimmy, I got Mike. All here. We're going to start right there in Lambeau. The commanders want to know coming in to play Green Bay, want to know. Commanders are getting three. Jimmy, we got package. Yes, yes, I'm with you. I want to take Green Bay at home, mike.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think I'm going Packers. They looked pretty tough the other day. That might be a Super Bowl pick of the first week right there.
Speaker 1:All right, justin.
Speaker 2:Packers. Look like they. I'm with Mike Packers. Look like they're a team in football. And Micah Parsons only played a handful of snaps. Dude, you add him to that defense. Dude, that's a scary-looking team man. I got the Packers all day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that whole D-line looked just nasty. I was surprised there wasn't a hook there. All right, let's go to Miami. Oh the god-aw I mean jesus do we have to do?
Speaker 2:we have to go to miami.
Speaker 1:Yes, we have to is their home favorite. The patriots are getting a point. Jimmy, who you got?
Speaker 2:oh dude, give me, give me patriots like that. Who is the backup in Miami? Zach Wilson, yeah Good.
Speaker 3:God.
Speaker 2:But don't worry, our third string is Quinn Ewers. I'll probably win this one.
Speaker 1:Justin, who you got?
Speaker 2:I got obviously not the freaking Dolphins. Dude Drake May throws for 400 yards.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Mike.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, the Dolphins had to go, not the Dolphins, right, so I'll go. Patriots, who do you got Patriots? All right, so I'll go.
Speaker 1:Dolphins right. Who do you? Got Patriots All right, so I'll go Dolphins here. I don't know why, borat, I know I think they're going to get that. Win that first and only maybe one of and this is the game, man, it's hot, it's September, a shade, all that stuff, they'll figure it out at home. They're, they're due.
Speaker 2:The coach will get it they'll play better at home in september, in september at home that's the only chance they have all year, so I'm gonna take it dolphins lost their number one corner, who was a nickel corner on any other team, so we are down to basically like me and Jimmy playing corner for the Dolphins.
Speaker 1:You know I got a bad ankle there you go Well.
Speaker 2:Chris Greer would love you.
Speaker 1:Well, there's going to be a banner flying over the stadium. It says fire Chris, greer and McDaniel.
Speaker 2:Interesting stat on chris greer. I've been bitching about him since before this podcast existed and I've non-stop bitched about him on this podcast. Yes, do you know? Chris greer holds the nfl record for most time as an NFL GM, without a single playoff victory at nine years and eight months.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's done. They're both going to get fired at the same time this year.
Speaker 2:The team doesn't respect McDaniel. Chris Greer's a freaking retard, yep.
Speaker 3:I mean, what a?
Speaker 2:goddamn dumpster fire it is dude. It is. No, I don't want to add fuel to the dumpster fire.
Speaker 3:It is. Oh no, I don't want, I don't want to add fuel to the dumpster fire. I'd actually like to bring in some competent people.
Speaker 1:All right. So we're uh, you guys are all going Patriots, I'm going to go dumpster fire, I mean dolphins. Um, all right, in Cincinnati this is a fun game. The Bengals are coming off a loss win where they deserve to lose, but they luckily played the Browns. They're minus three at home. The Jags are coming in getting three 1-0. Mike, who you got?
Speaker 3:I'm going Jacksonville for some reason. I was really high on Cincinnati, but last week wasn't very inspiring. So I'm going Jacksonville for some reason. I was really high on Cincinnati, but last week wasn't very inspiring, so I'm going Jacksonville.
Speaker 1:Justin Cincinnati at home plays better I was.
Speaker 2:I was leaning Jacksonville too, but I don't have any faith in the Jags. So I can't really pick the Jags in a good game until we get a little further down the line in the season. So I'm going to go Cincy at home covers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Jimmy.
Speaker 2:Let me tell you what the Jags don't have is Myles Garrett. That's true, that's right there. That's good for at least a 10 for cincinnati. Um, I don't believe in the jags, I don't believe in trevor lawrence, I don't think cincinnati is going to be great this year.
Speaker 1:But oh yeah I'm gonna take. I'm with you. Give me the bangles, I'm gonna. I don't think that's going to travel we'll'll see Because the Bengals are going to have to treat that like a loss and then this isn't a great opportunity to start 2-0.
Speaker 2:We're going to get to see Hunter covering Jamar Chase. Good luck.
Speaker 1:He only played six snaps on defense. Now it's because he had the shoulder injury so he didn't practice at the end of camp a lot on defense 42 snaps on offense, all right. So, um, mike, only one going, with the jags getting a field goal. All right, let's go to detroit, where the the lions look like crap and they got their asses handed to them by the packers. Now they're going and they're going to be big favorites against the Bears. The Bears are getting six on the road. Justin, are you still on the man train?
Speaker 2:I am, I am, but I don't think they cover that spread. I think Lions win, but Bears cover.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm with you on that. One Six is a lot. I'll go Chicago here with the points, mike.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm going to go Chicago too. I didn't realize the problems that would cause for them to lose Ben Johnson.
Speaker 1:Yeah, jimmy.
Speaker 2:I'm going to go Bears covering. I think, the Aaron Glenn loss. I think the Aaron Glenn loss was just as big. They look like shit on defense. Well, all right, they look like shit on defense Well, alright. They look like shit on offense.
Speaker 3:I'll pick the.
Speaker 1:Bears to keep it close and loose.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty disgusted with the Bears man.
Speaker 1:Well, this is it that coach is going to. He hasn't been able to stand in the pocket and read a defense and deliver. That's his problem.
Speaker 2:If only anybody could have seen this coming when he was coming out of college. Right Well he's got ability yeah but I feel like that 10 for 10 to start the game. I think that's going to be his crowning achievement this year, Right.
Speaker 1:The other three quarters. He just looked garbage. I'd rather, I mean, you had the complete opposite. They just flipped, the quarterbacks flipped and it was the you want the guy that's going to flip at the end. Um, all right. Uh, let's go to new york where the Jets look good in the loss but fields look good. The offense look good and they're going to be hosting the Bills and getting six and a half at home.
Speaker 3:Mike, I'll go with the Bills. I'm not a big Jets believer. Okay, jimmy, I'll go with the Bills. I'm not a big Jets believer.
Speaker 1:Okay, jimmy. Yeah, I'm going to take the Bills too.
Speaker 2:Alright, justin they might be my Super Bowl pick. Yeah, the Jets did actually look way better than I expected offensively, but nobody and I mean nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. Give me Josh Allen and the Bills baby Table all right, uh, I'm gonna go jets here.
Speaker 1:Six and a half, that's a lot. Yeah, you would. You were jet, they look good. Uh, if they can do that again and just keep it close against, I think the bills will win. All right, um, but six and a half, man, I'm gonna take the points at home. All right, let's go to baltimore, um, where the ravens coming off a tough loss are going to be hosting those browns coming off a tough loss.
Speaker 2:Browns are getting 12 Jimmy you know I mean that's a big spread that's huge right, but it's the Browns man, you know. He said that Miles Garrett would give you one game, one or two games this season, and that was last week yeah. I think they get their asses kicked this week on the road. Give me the.
Speaker 1:Ravens alright, mike. Oh man, I think they get their asses kicked this week on the road. Give me the Ravens, all right.
Speaker 3:Mike, oh man, I think the Ravens are going to put it to them by 21. I'm not going to.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have the Ravens, all right.
Speaker 2:Justin, yeah, I'm going to keep it boring Ravens in a blowout All right, give me the damn Browns.
Speaker 1:There he is 12 points is too much, is it?
Speaker 3:They got Miles, gary, the offense.
Speaker 1:Well, they should have won last week if they had a damn kicker, and the defense looked really good. So I'm thinking it can keep the game close. Division rival, I mean they could lose lose by 11, that's true, you know, I'll go browns here. Um, all right, just just 12 is too many. All right, let's go to pittsburgh. I like this game, seattle coming over to pittsburgh getting three. This is going to be interesting matchup. Aaron rogers looked ripped, looked good, four touchdowns in his return. Their defense, though, was a little bit lost, but now they're playing sam darnold at home. I'm like, I like the steelers here. I think their defense is going to step up and win this game, and I'll take the under, but I'm going to go. Steelers, jimmy, three points for Seattle.
Speaker 2:No, I'm going, steelers man, I'm not impressed with. Sam Donald, you know, san Francisco did everything they could to step on their own dicks last week they sure did.
Speaker 1:They still couldn't get the win. They did wave Moody.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well they should have cut him at halftime.
Speaker 1:Yep Mike.
Speaker 3:I will go with the Pittsburgh Steelers, I think.
Speaker 1:Alright, we're all going Steelers. Well, Justin, what do you got?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree with everything you all said. Seattle, ain't it? Aaron Rodgers looks good. That Pittsburgh defense is going to be that Pittsburgh defense, I think yeah. Yeah, if it was three and a half, I'd probably take Seattle. But, just giving me three, I'll take.
Speaker 1:Pittsburgh, seattle's got a good D and they're going to get. They do.
Speaker 2:Do they have?
Speaker 1:a good defense. They do, I think they do and I think they're going to get to. Rodgers, but I don't think their offense is enough and I don't think I'm with you, I don't believe in Darnold. I think the Steelers win an ugly one like 20-12 or something like that. Let's go to New Orleans, where those Niners are. I think they're going to play Mac Jones this week. Yeah, it's going to be Mac Jones. It's going to be that one guy that caught the touch, because George Kittle's out for at least another month.
Speaker 3:The Saints are getting a field goal at home. Might you taking them? Yeah, I'll take. I'm not taking the saints, whoever they're playing. All right, niners, you're taking the mac jones and the niners yeah oh yeah I mean k, I mean Kyle Shanahan liked Matt Jones.
Speaker 1:Not enough to trade up to get him. But Right Trey Lance is the worst.
Speaker 2:Ricky Pearsall had a couple catches, ricky.
Speaker 1:Pearsall looked legit, he looked good.
Speaker 2:Got a shot at a big game this week. He does. He got a shot at a big season, man yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, what do you got here, jimmy?
Speaker 2:What do I got? I mean, I'm going in wondering who's going to get hurt this week. Who are they going to lose? Yeah, he's the likely candidate. They're going to run him to death.
Speaker 1:That's why they made that trade Brian.
Speaker 2:Robinson Jr looks okay as the backup. I'm still going to pick him to cover dude. The Saints are awful.
Speaker 1:Yeah, three points, that's not enough. I'll take the Niners too, All points, it's not enough. I'll take the niners. Yeah, all right, so we're all going niners there, yep, all right. Tennessee, this is gonna be a an interesting game. Cam ward um home debut against the rams, getting five and a half at home. Justin, he got you the win last week with the, with the spread one of my only ones.
Speaker 2:I'll take the back door cover and can't board again baby.
Speaker 3:All right, mike, you're not going to win.
Speaker 2:Even Kevin Ridley was dropping the ball, dude.
Speaker 1:I'm with you. I'm taking the points here. I think the Rams are going to be lucky to win this game. This might be an upset, but if they do win, it'll be by a field goal. I'll take the Titans and the points, mike.
Speaker 3:What was the spread?
Speaker 1:Five and a half.
Speaker 3:I'll take the Rams.
Speaker 1:And Jimmy.
Speaker 2:I'm going to take Tennessee man, tennessee's got a good defense. Stafford looks like an old man playing quarterback. I think it's just going to be a slugfest, All right, this might be one of those.
Speaker 1:yeah, all right, dallas looked okay. Once you know the spitfest between Jalen and nothing came from. Dak Allegedly spit first, or was there's no allegedly?
Speaker 2:he did. He didn't get suspended or anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, that goes man, yeah carter didn't get suspended, he's got tossed from the game. Well they, he's gonna get fined and get one game suspension.
Speaker 2:It's time yeah, they counted it as a game.
Speaker 1:They counted it as a game, right you're right, all right, so, uh, but the cowboys made interesting. They won against the spread. They're're playing the Giants. This should be an awful game.
Speaker 3:The.
Speaker 1:Giants are getting five again on the road. I'm not doing it this week. I'll take the Cowboys at home, jimmy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree with you, man. Until they put a different quarterback in, I don't dart booty, whoever it is, dude no, yeah, that's a different story.
Speaker 1:I think dart could keep it interesting. It's just god man, that stuff's just, it's old man he's done all right, justin you know what?
Speaker 2:I agree with y'all but day but Dayball pulls Russell Wilson at halftime, jackson Park comes in and covers the spread.
Speaker 1:Give me the G man. I like that, I like it, mike.
Speaker 3:I'm going with, not the Giants. They have a really tough schedule and they don't want to put dart in the mix. This is probably one of their most winnable games. Yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, let's go to Indianapolis. The Colts look like the real deal, not that hard. Not that hard against the Dolphins Right, and it just looks like the Giants were pretty bad as a team and the Colts have a good line, a good running game, not bad weapons, so he was able to step in. The coach is an offensive guy was that Philly, you know? But they're getting one and a half hosting the Broncos. This is a good game. Home dog barking here, mike, against your AFC champion, broncos.
Speaker 3:I don't know if I did that, but if I did, that was foolish. I think the Broncos are going to win. Boone Hicks is going to be the MVP this year. I'm going Broncos.
Speaker 2:Okay, jimmy, okay, um, jimmy, I'll go broncos, I think, uh, that defense too tough for danny dimes.
Speaker 1:Gonna come back down to earth, all right, uh pig, yeah justin yeah, I've been dude.
Speaker 2:I've been a big Bo Nix on the Broncos fan since draft night One and a half points. Danny Dimes comes back to reality when he plays an actual NFL defense.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I got the Broncos covering this easy.
Speaker 1:All right, I'll take the home dog. Give me the Colts. All right, let's go to Arizona. Panthers are going out there. They're getting six and a half against the Cardinals. What do you think, jimmy?
Speaker 2:you know what I'm going to take Arizona, I think that little of Bryce Young and the Panthers wow, that is I'm not very high on the Cardinals this year either.
Speaker 1:and the Panthers? Wow, that is not. I'm not very high on the Cardinals this year either but the Panthers fucking suck man. Yeah, this is a game, though, that they can win, justin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, both these teams are hot garbage, but that's a big spread, dude. I can't see Kyler Murray and them covering it. I can see the Panthers basically Taking the air out of the ball, just giving it to Chuba Hubbard 40 times. Yeah, I think they cover that spread. Give me the Panthers, alright, mike.
Speaker 3:This is a terrible game, mike. Who could care about this game, unless you had a family member playing? I'm going with, I guess, the home team, I don't know Arizona.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll go Arizona, me too. I think I'm going to go Cardinals here too, I think they're going to. They didn't really play well. They need to play better at home. Carolina man, come on.
Speaker 3:We'll see Terrible.
Speaker 1:Six and a half is a lot, but I think Cardinals win by a touchdown. This is the game of the week. Super Bowl matchup in Kansas City. They're getting a point at home. The Chiefs Wow, home dog Jimmy, who you got?
Speaker 2:Damn, Am I really going to pick the Chiefs to start off 0-2? You're goddamn right A Give me the. Eagles yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm going to take the Eagles because they're a better team and they beat the living crap out of them last time they played team and they beat the living crap out of them last time they played and I don't see that much has changed for her to make it like one point, that's not enough.
Speaker 3:I'll take the Eagles, mike yeah, I'm taking the Eagles as well. I mean, they've lost two key pieces of their wide receiver team. I guess maybe Worthy will play.
Speaker 2:Justin you don't beat down. You got to be worthy of a player. Yeah, this is that one too, justin. You don't beat down Andy Reid in back-to-back games with this close a time frame, dude. They're both basically the same teams as they were last year.
Speaker 1:Dude, andy Reid is a better coach, give me the Chiefs, all right, okay, all right, let's go to the Sunday nighter. It's the Falcons getting three on the road in Minnesota. Justin, who you got.
Speaker 2:Hmm, I like Pennix more than I like McCarthy. Give me the Falcons.
Speaker 1:All right, mike.
Speaker 3:I think Vikings are going to win this one, but I'm going to go with the.
Speaker 1:Three points, three points, all right, jimmy. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2:Atlanta covers. I think it's a close game, though it's going to be a good one.
Speaker 1:Ryan Flores defense yeah, covers. I think it's a close game, though gonna be a good one. Ryan flores defense yeah, I, I think I'm gonna go vikings. I think I think I like that team better. I'm I'm not. I'm not a believer in oh, uh, what the hell's his name? Michael Penix? No, the coach of the Falcons. Oh, raheem Morris, raheem Morris.
Speaker 3:It was a good decision. Radio Raheem.
Speaker 1:Him over Bill Belichick, though I mean.
Speaker 3:All right, let's go to the.
Speaker 1:There's two games on Monday night and the first one is in Houston as the Bucs go to the Texans. The Bucs are getting two and a half Mike.
Speaker 3:I'm going to go Tampa Bay on that one.
Speaker 1:All right, justin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Tampa Bay won a dogfight on the road in Atlanta last week and I freaking love Baker Mayfield and the rookie Ibuka looks like he's going to be a star. Give me the Bucs to win outright.
Speaker 1:Yeah, jimmy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got the Bucs winning too. Texas got some problems up front.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I agree.
Speaker 1:It protects Stroud Right.
Speaker 3:Because he can throw it and I like to make a good on offense. I like to make a hearing at buka.
Speaker 1:I think the texans can do something to to, though, on defense, but I'm not giving. If they were getting points, I'd take it. Give me the Bucs, damn it. I hate taking the Bucs. All right, the late game is in Vegas. The Raiders are getting three hosting the Chargers. Holy shit, dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah, jimmy, these fans are going to be insane.
Speaker 1:Jimmy, who you got, give me the Chargers, okay, justin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, Chargers, look great week one man Give me the Chargers. This is Milkshake and Pete Carroll going back at it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a good time. This is man. That's a good point. Seattle francisco battled for years there back and forth.
Speaker 2:it was whoever won even back when he was at stanford yeah, that's true, carroll was at sc. Yep, that's a good point um and stanford beat sc a couple times. If I remember, that was one of the biggest upsets in college ever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when they went into LA and beat them, they were like 49-point underdogs or something like that. All right, so you're going. Chargers Mike, who you got?
Speaker 3:San Diego.
Speaker 1:All right, all right. So no Vegas dog barking for you, justin no, no, dude, it's Chargers all day.
Speaker 2:Man, they look too good in week one. Gino Smith ain't throwing for 350 against our boss, no way yeah, I'm going Chargers here.
Speaker 1:they were my pick to win this division, all right. Well, what is that?
Speaker 3:We had to go. Our ride was here.
Speaker 2:Well, it's showtime.
Speaker 1:We got to get on out of here, Before we go there, some college games. Big game for your Canes this weekend, Justin. Dude, I'm terrified, I think that was just what the doctor ordered.
Speaker 2:I was scared of this game. Dude, I was scared of this game coming into the season because I knew our USF. I told you they had a squad man, but I think what's going to give Miami the win is one we got them at home and two they busted their nut all over the field last week and they're not doing it two games in a row.
Speaker 1:That's what I thought that was a good thing for Miami. Is them winning in Florida? It's going to make sure Miami is ready to make Florida. It's going to make sure Miami is ready to make sure that doesn't happen. Do you think they cover the 17.5 point spread?
Speaker 2:Absolutely not All right. You think Kane's big USF is good?
Speaker 1:You're taking USF to cover that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but Miami's going to win.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I thought. It's like 17.5 is. I thought that's like 17 and a half Too much.
Speaker 2:That's too much. Jimmy took them big. Jimmy took them big.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I take it big, take the game big.
Speaker 2:I could see it blow out easily.
Speaker 1:I could see it blow out.
Speaker 2:There's going to be a noticeable difference in physicality on both lines from what they faced last week in Gainesville. It's true, and that'll be where they just stop, dave, we'll see it. Dude, we got a lot of good ones this weekend. Man, you got UF going to Baton Rouge. Right, you got Notre Dame, texas A&M. Dude, we got some games this weekend, boys, oh yeah, we got Dabo in Atlanta.
Speaker 1:Yep, Watch out for that one Old yeah Dabo in Atlanta, Yep watch out for that one Old Brent.
Speaker 2:Watch out for Cade Klubnick shitting the bed. Well, I know they're playing Georgia.
Speaker 1:Tech and you better score when you get the ball, because you might not get it but like five times the whole game. So I like Georgia Tech to keep that one close. I don't know if they're I mean, I don't know if they'll win- Georgia Tech's a nightmare dude.
Speaker 2:You don't ever want to keep that one close.
Speaker 1:Well, that's what they do.
Speaker 2:And Haynes King dude their quarterback.
Speaker 1:He's been there for a decade.
Speaker 2:He's that dude. He reminds me of Jim Harbaugh when he played in the NFL. Like his style of game, dude.
Speaker 1:A lot of college games you never want to keep that guy around. A lot of college games and we got the NFL game tonight. We'll watch them all and we'll talk to you next time Right here on the North Florida Sports Network.
Speaker 3:Everybody just do your job. You understand that what?
