Uh the records for last week were something needed for Justin as he went nine and five. Mike as well went nine and five. You Jimmy went seven and seven and I went five and nine. That brings the overall record now to Mike is your leader now at 41 and 37. Jimmy and myself are in second with 38-40, and Justin is 34 and 44. Coming back.

We're going to the East this time, and it's gonna be the Eagles coming off their first loss of the season. Just what the doctor ordered, though. They're going to play the Giants. It's in New York. And the Giants are getting seven and a half at home. Mike? What do you got?

SPEAKER_05:

Dang. Oh man, I think the Eagles will play a close game. I think it's gonna be within seven and a half. I think it's gonna.

SPEAKER_02:

Alright. Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, short week on the road. I mean, as long as the Giants don't have six consecutive turnovers, I think they cover this spread. Give me the G-Men.

SPEAKER_02:

All right. Jimmy.

SPEAKER_03:

I am going to take the Giants as well.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay, give me the Giants too.

SPEAKER_07:

Dude, they had that game last week, but then they literally had five turnovers in a row.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Alright. Let's go to Sunday. London. Yep. Before we go to do that, though, the Yankees have been eliminated.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

The Mariners will be playing the Tigers in a decisive game five. And uh yeah. Yeah. National. Yeah, baseball.

SPEAKER_08:

Baseball.

SPEAKER_03:

All right.

SPEAKER_02:

Forever. Baseball. Alright, yeah, that was funny. All right. Let's go to uh New York. I think this one's overseas, though. New York England.

SPEAKER_09:

We're getting in a plane. We're gonna give it.

SPEAKER_02:

Alright, so the Broncos, you know, they just beat the Eagles. Now they're playing the god-awful Jets. Yeah. But the Jets are getting seven and a half. Jimmy?

SPEAKER_03:

I'll take the Broncos, man. The Jets suck. God, they suck. I'm with you. Mike?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I'll go Broncos as well.

SPEAKER_02:

Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah. I mean, God, this is boring. I'll take the Broncos too. Jets are Jets are freaking terrible.

SPEAKER_02:

I'm mailing it. I'm just gonna say right now. I'm probably not thinking straight today. So I'm just trying to keep it together, which means I probably had the best week ever. But um yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Okay, so that explains why you're not taking the Jets. You banged your head, man.

SPEAKER_02:

Your Jets. That's right, man. Oh man, here's a great game. Uh it's not, but it's in Miami. God, did you guys hear McDaniels after his press? He sounded like that at the press conference. He was like, well, you don't he we were upset about it. Oh, and talk about it.

SPEAKER_07:

We eviscerated our own lead. I mean, like, come on, dude. God, dude, just fire everybody.

SPEAKER_02:

This might be the week. I think this might be the week.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah. Whoa, 17-point lead to the Panthers, dude. I don't know how last week wasn't the week.

SPEAKER_02:

No, I think he's gonna wait when he does it at home and he and he gets the the backing of the way they don't have to fly home together. No, he wants to get like the booze and like he'll get everybody behind it, and then I'll just do it.

SPEAKER_07:

I mean I got all my peeps still in Miami, dude. Uh they're already behind it.

SPEAKER_02:

They're losing. I know. So he that's what they wanted. He and he's just gonna be like, all right, well, you get Harbaugh coming in off a loss.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

So uh let's see what you can do. The Dolphins are getting four at home. Like I said, I think this is it. I think he's getting fired after this game, so I'm going Chargers here, even though the Chargers haven't looked really good. But I'm gonna go Chargers here. Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, nothing will get you right like uh playing the Miami Dolphins. Uh I'd take the Chargers if it was 14. Give me the Chargers.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh uh Mike.

SPEAKER_05:

We got the old West Coast coming to the East Coast, right?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. I'm going to Dolphins. Oh, all right. Switching it up. I mean, they're getting four. Yeah. All right. Uh might be able to get that sunshine and the visitor space advantage, too. It's still pretty damn hot.

SPEAKER_03:

The two is questionable. With his hip.

SPEAKER_09:

Is that better or worse?

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know. I can't remember who the backup is. Oh, yeah. Yeah, give me the chargers.

SPEAKER_05:

It's the guy from the Jets, right?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, Zach Wilson is actually the backup. Zach Wilson. Give me the Chargers.

SPEAKER_03:

Nick Zack.

SPEAKER_02:

I will take the Chargers. All right. All right. Well, Mike at least pick something different. All right. Let's go. All right.

SPEAKER_05:

One different.

SPEAKER_02:

All right. Let's go to Pittsburgh. As the NFC AFC North leading Steelers. With Lamar out and Burrow out. I mean, the Steelers have it right there for him in this division. And there you got the Browns coming in. The Browns coming off hard fought loss. Gabriel played efficient. You know, no turnovers for him. The Browns are getting five in Pittsburgh. Mike.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm going to go with Pittsburgh in this one.

SPEAKER_02:

Alright. Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

God, I feel like biting my tongue as I'm saying this, but five points. I think the Browns defense can. I think the Browns can keep it within five. Pittsburgh hasn't really grown anybody else.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. You know, these are the things.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, give me the Browns, dude.

SPEAKER_02:

I was gonna, you know, I don't, yeah. I'm not there yet. I'm just rambling here.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh Jimmy. I think Steelers coming off a bye. Yeah. Jalen Ramsey against the rookie quarterback. Yeah, I'm gonna go Steelers here. There you go. All right, I'm the one different.

SPEAKER_02:

There you go. All right, let's move on. Um to the Saints, where one of my I hit on the Saints last week. That was one of my rights. Um, they got their first win. You know? Well, whoopty-doo. Yeah, whoopty-doo at home. They had the turnover parade from the Giants, but this time they're hosting the now three and two upstart. Drake May and the boys coming off the big win on the road against the Bills, coming down to New Orleans to play Spencer Rattler coming off his first win of the year. And uh New Orleans. That's this will be a good game. Um, but the uh the Saints are getting three and a half at home. Mike.

SPEAKER_05:

New England minus three and a half?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Okay, New England.

SPEAKER_02:

All right, uh, Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, this will not be a close game. Drake May is going to torch the Saints, dude. Drake May goes for 350 and four touchdowns, passing a blowout.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. I think I'm with you. I was gonna say that you'll see the Patriots the Patriots really pick up some steam in this game. You can see the toughness that variables bought brought to that team. I think the Saints got the win because they're getting against the Giants. Yeah, and they had to be a good one. Drake May broke, man. So I'm going Patriots here. Jimmy. I'm gonna go Patrick. Drake May, buddy. All right, yeah. Drake May looks like he's the part, man. All right, so uh we got all pats here. Um let's go to indie.

SPEAKER_07:

Don't tell Bill Belichick.

SPEAKER_02:

Let's go to Indy, right? And the oh my god, the worst loss in sports of years is I mean, this is the kind of loss where if your team loses, you're like, well, you know, did you watch that Cardinals game? It's not that bad. Because this loss, man, it hurt, and I have no affiliation to the Cardinals, but man, it was like, oh God, that one hurt to see happen. I mean, you'll never see the odds of this happening in the way it happened are something out of a horror show. I mean, it it it was first of all, somebody dropped the damn ball going over the freaking goal line, and that's what started it all. And then the coach tried to fight him, so he's gotten fined for that. Yep. And then and then your defense gets a pick, fumbles the damn ball, and that and the Titans get a touchdown that way too. And then they somehow get it close and kick a field goal at the end. I've never seen anything like it. Well, the Cardinals have lost three games in a row off last second field goals. I don't think that's happened in like 50 years. So they could be like 5-0. Right. But they're the Cardinals, but they suck. Yeah, this is like the Cardinals. Anywho, they're getting seven in Indy. That's a lot. I know Indy looks good, but I'm gonna go Arizona to cover here to just do what they've been doing, to lose at the end. Yeah, Mike.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I think seven's way too much. I'm gonna go Cardinals.

SPEAKER_02:

All right, Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, seven goddamn, this is boring. Yeah, I I I agree. I think the Cardinals lose, but by less than seven.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. I mean, it's three in a row. I mean, like they have players that just they'll find a way to keep it close enough. Yeah, I mean, it'll punch the field goal kicker or something. Colts big here.

SPEAKER_03:

West Coast team coming across early.

SPEAKER_02:

Dude, Colts look good. Cardinals suck. Yeah, well, this will the wheels fall off if they if this happens.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, if they don't rally now with at least, you know, that's the only healthy running back just got punched in the chest by the coach.

SPEAKER_07:

So yeah, if they if they lose this game, dude, I want to roll, dude, with the coach. Coach being number one entrance.

SPEAKER_02:

This is gonna be hot seat central for the coach and the quarterback. Yeah. Um, let's go to uh Baltimore, speaking of just god awful. I mean, I I oh my god, I picked the Ravens at home last week. I was the only one to do it. I can't believe it. I I picked them from a Super Bowl pick. I don't know what the hell. I mean, a lot of people did.

SPEAKER_07:

That's understandable as the beginning of the season for a Super Bowl pick. That's not bad.

SPEAKER_02:

They whiffed on whoever the higher who's a DC there now? I don't know. He's sucks. It's terrible. He should be fired. Yeah, he sucks. And Lamar's out, so the offense can't do anything. This team, oh my god, they made they let Houston look like a juggernaut. And uh the Rams are going there now. The Baltimore's getting seven and a half. I'm taking the Rams. Uh Mike.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, anybody but Baltimore.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Uh Jackson.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, if you got any uh Rams on your fantasy teams, you need to start.

SPEAKER_02:

I know. I just I picked up Fuca's going for 200.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah. Fuca's going for 200. Yeah. Um, this game is gonna be so embarrassing for Baltimore, dude. Um it yeah, uh yeah, Rams. Easy, easy pick.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I'm I'm gonna go Rams, man. They've had a couple extra days. Yeah, they're gonna be pissed off about that loss.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, they need this one. Yeah. After that that hard that loss to the bunch of nobodies. Yeah. And Mac Jones and the nobodies. Tanjas.

SPEAKER_07:

Hey, I told you Mac Jones was gonna play well.

SPEAKER_02:

Dude, we'll get there when they when their game comes up. All right, Carolina. Uh, they're getting three at home. Three Panthers. Yeah, this is a sneaky game here. You got the Panthers hosting the Cowboys. Cowboys look good against the Jets, but I mean, another team like the Panthers. This is usually a team the Cowboys beat up on. This is where Dak looks good and gets MVP chance against these kind of games. So I was uh I was out last week. I'm gonna go Cowboys here on the road minus three. Uh Mike?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I'll go with the Cowboys here. I mean, who's Carolina beat inside the Miami, right?

SPEAKER_02:

They beat Miami and then they beat the Falcons 30 to 0.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, I'll still go with uh Delphins.

SPEAKER_02:

All right, Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

You know what? What the hell? Give me the Panthers. Why not? Yeah, this is the city. I mean, the Cowboys are terrible, the Panthers are terrible. Right. I mean, like, whatever. The Panthers are in.

SPEAKER_02:

You know how raucous that crowd gets in Charlotte, Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

You know, you know I wouldn't know because the Hurricanes have never played there.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, yeah. Well, they are this, they should be this year. Um all right, so you're going Panthers, uh, Jimmy.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah. Oh God.

SPEAKER_02:

Give me the Panthers. All right, Mike. You went uh Cowboys with that's right. Okay, let's go to Jacksonville. Jacksonville, Jacksonville, Florida. Um Jags. Four in one Jags. Man, have you this one? The Trip Six Stumble uh Stumble Roosky, the Stumble Roosky. Dofault, Dufault, Dufault. Oh man, I didn't see it live. But man.

SPEAKER_03:

Just imagine a baby giraffe trying to learn to walk.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, that's a good analogy. Yeah. He comes out of the wound like like he's snapping the ball and he trips and he falls down, but then he gets up and he'd double fall, man. He's like, it was amazing. Then he ran slowly to the end zone. Oh man, what a game, though, for the Jags. And I did not see it happen because the Chiefs looked like they were the better team, but the Jags had hung tight, the pick six, the 99-yard pick six. That's what changed. Oh, yeah. That was even the that's like a 12.8, that's like a it's like a 13-point play. It's kind of like 14 if you count the extra points and stuff. But I mean, that was a analogy, though. But I heard this analogy, like somebody was like, well, technically that's a 12.7 point. So I'm like, uh, how? They ran and got six, give me an extra point, and maybe prevent it. Oh, whatever. It's gonna the odds of them maybe getting not getting it. All right, anyway. Um, the Jags are four and one. Uh, the Seahawks, man, that would they came off a shootout home loss against the Bucks, but I think it's more of the Bucs for real, because the Seahawks look good too. And, you know, just like a bounce off the helmet at the end, the Bucks got the turnover, but the Seahawks were humming on offense. Will that defense gonna they're traveling now? You got the West Coast to East Coast. The Seahawks are getting one point in in Duval. Justin, who you got?

SPEAKER_07:

You know what? West Coast to East Coast. The Jags did it for me last week. The Jags will do it for me again. The Jags are going to five and one.

SPEAKER_02:

How about wow? All right, uh, Mike.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I'm going with um I think Seattle. I like Seattle. I think they're tougher than we think they are.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, I I do too. I said that I I liked them. I think they'll they'll make the adjustments. We'll see if if if the Jags can get that, those kind of tight plays, but I don't think they do. Give me the Seahawks, Jimmy.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, if if if the Jags don't put Travis Hunter on defense, they're 5-0 right now. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. They lost to the Bengals because Travis Hunter can't get the game. In a game, Chase Browning's like one game.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. In a game where he threw three picks.

SPEAKER_03:

Yep. Uh, but I'm gonna take Seattle here, man. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_02:

All right that defense is there was a little like it felt like if that game was in college, Jacksonville would have rushed the field.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, and that you know, now they're gonna be the hunted. So let's see how they do it.

SPEAKER_02:

But excited. I like I did like the throwback unis. Um all right, let's go to Vegas. Oof. Here's a barn burner. Oof. Oof. This might be the worst watch. And it's gonna be you got the Titans getting four in Las Vegas out.

SPEAKER_03:

Um Jimmy, who you got? You know, I said I was never gonna pick the Raiders, but shit. You know what? No. Give me the Titans. Screw it. You think they cover? Alright, uh, Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

Titans got the best player on the field in Cam Ward. Give me the Titans.

SPEAKER_02:

Alright, uh, Mike.

SPEAKER_05:

Um, I have no idea. Let's go Raiders on the function.

SPEAKER_02:

I'll go Raiders. Just beating on Cam Ward. I see. I see how it's raiding. That's right. All right, uh Joe Flacco and the Bengals. Oh my god. Yeah. Um Flacco starting. They're going to Green Bay. They're getting 14. Oh, Jesus. Yeah. Who you got, Mike?

SPEAKER_05:

Oh man, uh, the Packers have laid an egg, right? At least one. I will take uh I'll take Joe Flacco plus 14 points. That's a pretty big number.

SPEAKER_02:

All right. Um, Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, 14's too big, man. I mean, you know Flacco can fling it around. As long as he doesn't throw five picks, dude, they'll they'll cover that spread.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay. Uh Jimmy.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, it's too much. Too many points. Alright. I'll take the Packers at home. Coming off that tie.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, then you get together. You'd be angry. See, it's time to get some sacks. Alright. Um let's go to the Bucks here. The Bucks. Big win on the road. East Coast to West Coast. Niners coming in town. This might be the game of the week. Uh but the next game might be one, two. This is a good one. Niners, Bucks. Niners getting three. Jimmy, who you got?

SPEAKER_03:

I will take the Buccaneers. I do not believe there's anybody that can cover Igbuka in that secondary. Pass rush suspect. I think the Bucks take it.

SPEAKER_04:

Alright, um Justin.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you your man. I mean, I I cannot get against Baker and Killed at this point. Um I'm just gonna keep picking Baker and kill everybody wrong.

SPEAKER_04:

Alright.

SPEAKER_02:

Um the Bucks look good. That rookie, man, he looks really good. Abuka Niners getting three. Maybe Kittle, but I doubt it. Yeah, I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_07:

What about Jennings? That's all, because I got him on fantasy, so that's all he has. Mike Jones is playing, you know what? Give me the Niners. Give me the Niners.

SPEAKER_02:

Alright, let's go to uh Kansas City. They're hosting the Lions. The Lions are getting two. In Kansas City. Mike, who you got?

SPEAKER_05:

Dan Campbell in the fighting Detroit Lions, baby.

SPEAKER_02:

Table.

SPEAKER_07:

Alright. Give me the Bills in a blowout.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay, uh Jimmy. I think the Falcons cover, man. Me too. You look at who the Bills have beaten. Ravens, Jets, Dolphins, Saints. I'll take the dirty bird at home.

SPEAKER_05:

Are the Falcons much better than any of those teams, though?

SPEAKER_02:

No, but they beat the Commanders. They should have beat the Bucks. I mean, they were hanging with them. They got talent. I'm gonna say they're getting the home dog's gonna be barking. The bird dog. Give me the bird dogs. Bird dog. Yeah. Alright, let's go uh to Washington. They look really good. The Bears are coming to town. Remember this game last year. Yes. Hail Mary at the end. Um, but the Bears are getting four and a half on the road. Justin?

SPEAKER_07:

Jaden Daniels is back. That running back, Bill, is uh really starting the ball.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

SPEAKER_04:

Alright. Mike.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm with Justin on this one. I like the commanders.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_03:

Uh Jimmy. I'm gonna take Washington. I really like that running back. Krosky Merritt. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Alright.

SPEAKER_07:

So Yeah, no, this is four or six season tomorrow Saturday, man. If they lose it, dude, wheels come off.

SPEAKER_03:

That'll be interesting.

SPEAKER_06:

Give me Auburn, dude. You don't just walk into Jordan Hare and get a win.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. I don't think Georgia's defense is uh Alabama gonna be playing Missouri. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06:

SPEAKER_06:
