Let me ask you one question.
SPEAKER_00:The North Florida floor is boring.
SPEAKER_01:You gotta get a couple of you!
SPEAKER_03:There you go. Let's do it today. Yeah. Wow, it's another division opponent, man. But we know before we get started, the big dumper. The away teams in baseball have been winning so far. Yeah, if you're betting. You got the mariners two two to one. And you got the Dodges, 2-0, 0-2 or 2-0. With all the away teams winning all five games.
SPEAKER_06:I just want the Mariners to win it all because I just want to hear Big Dumper said on TV as much as possible.
SPEAKER_03:I love that it's take it's everybody yeah. Take it off.
SPEAKER_05:It's a nickname since Johnny Football.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Baseball's really it's just the pitch clock, you know. Looks like Manford's done a nice job. But there you go. Baseball! Still got umpires. Yeah, not next year. Not next year. Yeah, t' tomorrow. I mean next year, they're moving to have Hazel, challenge.
SPEAKER_05:Which I still like we just like we got the uh challenge.
SPEAKER_03:We're gonna just like you're gonna not have more challenges and you're gonna be able to like oh no! Nope, nope, nope, nope. We're gonna be able to Bobby Cox.
SPEAKER_05:Bobby Cox would hate it. How can you get out and yell at an umpire over balls and fight when he's on doing it? What do you got?
SPEAKER_03:Oh dude, that's the most the most over out of all like coaching in any professional sport. Come on, man. Managing. And then they're the ones that actually wear the uniform. It's hilarious. It's the most it's the most like they don't really do anything if DM matters the most. Hey man, I managed these guys. Okay, you don't uh anyway. I mean it's a morale thing, I get it. I'm not trying I mean it matters, I guess, but it's not much.
SPEAKER_06:I thought we put coaches for every sport in the uniform, dude. I mean, how funny would it be to be like little manual in an oversized uh set of shoulder pads?
SPEAKER_03:Yes. Yes, you're like the basketball coaches Stan Van Gende likes him in a basketball uniform. Yeah, it'd be awesome. All right, well, tonight we have an AFC North clash, and we have Joe Flacco and his new team, the Bengals, hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, uh Mike Tomlin had some words about this trade, pretty much questioning Andrew Barry. I don't know why they would do that to a division opponent. And it's like, well, because of the Browns, Mike. Right. Yeah, because they're the Browns. Because they have zero shot, and they were like, hey, listen, we can get something. We can get something for this guy. And they got Joe Flacco, which is an improvement over Browning and the boys because he was just throwing the ball away. He was like a deer in the headlights.
SPEAKER_02:It's like the Browns owners like, who's the shittiest owner besides myself?
SPEAKER_03:Well, you saw them, they covered in they covered in Green Bay. Joe Flacco's competent. He's still got he can still throw it, and they have skilled receivers. Yeah. So they got a cheap deal from a cheap owner. And now they're in, uh, but they're hosting this Thursday night game and they're getting five at home. Okay. Jimmy, who you got? Man.
SPEAKER_02:Well, Hendrickson's out for the Bengals defense. So there's not gonna be anybody harassing old Friar Tuck Rogers back there. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03:National audience, do you think he makes a statement game? Because if he you know, where they have the record, yeah, he needs to have like a big stat-filled game and he can put himself in the MVP conversation.
SPEAKER_02:I'm gonna do something stupid and take the Steelers to cover.
SPEAKER_03:Uh okay. All right, Mike, what do you got?
SPEAKER_04:You got him at five and a half?
SPEAKER_03:No, it's five. I got five.
SPEAKER_04:Okay, cool. All right. Uh I'll go uh I'll go to the Steelers this one.
SPEAKER_03:All right, Steelers on the road, minus five. Justin, who you got?
SPEAKER_06:Give me that home dog. I feel a backdoor, I feel a backdoor cover in this game, dude.
SPEAKER_03:Joe Flacco and the boys is backdoor city, man. This day, yeah.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, yeah, they'll get they'll get Barb's touchdowns in the fourth quarter and lose by four.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah, this will be a close game because of it. And but the Steelers, I have the Steelers winning by like field goal. So, but I'll uh I'll take the five. All right, let's go to Sunday morning. Where are we going? London. Oh! Strawberries and cream. Huh? No? Do they even have strawberries in London? That's at uh that's at the roll sport. Yeah. All right. Um they got snallsberries.
SPEAKER_06:Snallsberries taste like snallsberries.
SPEAKER_03:English breakfast has like what tomato on it? And I don't know, beans and toast, all kinds of gross shit.
SPEAKER_06:Like everything you got. Spotted dick!
SPEAKER_03:All right. Well, uh, this is a good matchup, actually. You have uh a battle of two, four, and two teams, the Rams versus the Jaguars. You would have a West Coast to East Coast, but now you have a West Coast to far east coast and east coast to other east coast.
SPEAKER_06:Well, is London on the coast or more in the center of the island? I'm not I don't know. That's a good question.
SPEAKER_03:But I mean, who's going? I mean, anyway. You have the Rams, the Jags. I think the Rams are given a field goal. Yeah. So Jacksonville is the home team technically plus three in London. Justin, who you got?
SPEAKER_06:Damn, that's a tough one. I hate that field goal line.
SPEAKER_03:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_06:Give me the hook and I could make a decision a lot easier. Yeah, right. Um I don't know. I shit with if Puka's banged up with that ankle injury.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:The Jags are hot. You know what? Screw it, man. Give me the Jags.
SPEAKER_03:Taking the Jags. In a bounce back game, they I mean you had just watched one thing to watch for them is turnovers. They they I mean they pretty much get turnovers every game. And and they win. Except for that one Bengals game, but Travis Hunter screwed that. But but last week against the Seahawks, they had zero turnovers. Um, so you're going Jags. You're um Jimmy. I'm going Rams. Rams here, huh?
SPEAKER_02:They can't afford to get too far behind here in this West race. Mike, who you got?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, Rams minus three. Um questionable.
SPEAKER_03:It really matters if he is. I think and then like I need to know for Stafford to be because I'm not gonna play him. But on the fantasy football update.
SPEAKER_04:No, um I'm gonna go with uh I'll take uh I'll take uh the Rams kicker the guy that misses them all, Cardi. Is that Cardi? I'm going with Jaguars.
SPEAKER_03:All right, you're gonna take the points. Uh three points.
SPEAKER_04:I don't know if I've ever taken the Jaguars.
SPEAKER_03:Well, I think I'm gonna go with the Rams here because of the defense. At the end of the day, they've only given up what one rushing touchdown all season. They got Fisk and Verse. You know, those two. And then they And they got Cam Kenshin.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, Kitchen and they got some other guys.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, the dude for I was about to say the dude from Miami. Yeah, he came with the name. Yeah. Because I knew when they drafted him, I was like, they got him at great value. Him and Fisk were like two two of their third second and third picks. Yeah, they nailed it in that draft.
SPEAKER_06:I think Kitchen's fed, I think Kenshin fell to like the fifth because he ran garbage 40 at the end.
SPEAKER_03:But they nailed they nailed that draft, and that was just He's a player. All three of those care what your 40 times said. Oh, I know. All three of those dudes are players, and they got him. It was a great draft on defense for him.
SPEAKER_06:They got the best of all of Florida.
SPEAKER_03:That's why I'm taking him. Uh hope I'm a ho I'm assuming that Puka's gonna play. Um, I'm gonna take the Rams. And uh, I might take the under in this, but uh, I'll take the Rams. Um let's go to Cleveland. No! Oh god, this is the worst game of the season. Oh yeah, as the Dolphins.
SPEAKER_02:This is gonna be the best game of the NFL season.
SPEAKER_03:It might be.
SPEAKER_02:You got a you got a wintery mix storm.
SPEAKER_03:I say both coaches are on the hot seat. Both coaches are shit can't, no matter what.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, you're probably right.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah. I mean, I'll take the fancy in Miami.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. One coach is actually a decent coach.
SPEAKER_03:The other one is if he keeps if he loses. I mean, he's I don't know. Anywho.
SPEAKER_06:It almost feels like he's losing on purpose to get the hell out of there.
SPEAKER_03:Right. I mean, yeah, I didn't see the look when they had to draft Shador. I wouldn't want to be there either.
SPEAKER_02:Nobody wanted that guy.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I'd want to, I'd want to get the hell out of there, yeah, out of there, too. I bet he won't be back next year, regardless. Um all right, Miami is in Cleveland, Miami's getting two and a half. Mike, who you got?
SPEAKER_04:I'll take Cleveland for the Jinx.
SPEAKER_03:All right. Um, Justin.
SPEAKER_06:I'm taking Cleveland for the hope that Mike McDaniel and Chris Greer don't get on the flight home.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Um Jimmy.
SPEAKER_02:I'm taking Cleveland because they're gonna be 50 to 60 mile per hour winds with rain and sleep and just absolute shit weather.
SPEAKER_03:Tua might get hurt this game. Maybe great cold weather. Well though, he's going against the he's just gotta watch out and not get but drilled because uh I'm going Cleveland. Going Cleveland, that defense at home. That's what I'm gonna do. Yeah, I mean, you take the best player on the field. That's they beat the Packers there. I don't think they're gonna have to go back time. I think they're gonna have to be black time.
SPEAKER_04:All four of us have been on Cleveland.
SPEAKER_03:Right? Well, they're might be the first. Yeah, yeah. I think it's more just against Miami, man.
SPEAKER_02:Right. I might actually think about taking the Dolphins if it wasn't gonna be typical Ohio weather.
SPEAKER_03:Right. I just they're not they're not built for that. Not with that.
SPEAKER_06:I wouldn't take the Dolphins against the Hurricanes at this point.
SPEAKER_03:All right, let's go to Tennessee as the first place New England Patriots.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:With the Falcons win over the Bills. Now the Pats are number one in the AFC East with their head-to-head win over the Bills. Uh they now they're in Tennessee. Tennessee's getting seven. Now, this is I'm gonna let you go first, Justin, because you got your boy Drake, and then you got your boy Cam.
SPEAKER_06:Against my other boy, man.
unknown:I hate that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, so like it's gonna be a bad what what's happening, man? Is Cam covering? I mean, I think the Pats are the Pats are starting to show the the toughness that you see from Mike Variable teams and then the talent and the youth that they've incorporated onto that roster. But what do you think here?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I mean, I said I said coming into the season the Pats were making the playoffs. I've been saying it since Drake May was a freshman that Drake May is awesome. I love Cam Ward and they fired their idiot coach. Yeah. So you usually give you a bounce. Right. But I don't even know who their interim coach is.
SPEAKER_03:Big Tom Kelly is not, it's not, it's not his dad. Um he's gone too. Bill's gone too, huh? Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:I mean, I I gotta take the pats, man. Just based on stability, and Drake May's starting to turn into the all-pro that always thought he was gonna be.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I got hatrix as well.
SPEAKER_02:Jimmy? This is Mike Vrabel coming to shit on the team. Oh, yeah. I was just going there.
SPEAKER_03:That screwed him over by trading AJ Brown and I'm gonna be able to get fired and fired him, and it's been they haven't like it's been nothing. Right. Now they fired their coach. He's about to rub it in. Give me the pats. Yeah, I say pats by double digits. Um, let's go to Chicago as the Bears now. Uh-oh. Yeah, my Bez. Uh-oh. My Bez coming off the two hard-fought one-point wins.
SPEAKER_02:I can't believe Jake Moody got a game winning field goal. That piece of shit.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Against uh against old Niner teammate who hit didn't didn't like him at all.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I know. He choked him out in the locker room. At least once, probably multiple times.
SPEAKER_03:Anywho, uh, the Saints are coming to town, and they're getting four and a half. They've been scrappy. Four and a half. This is a game, Chicago. I could see totally blowing and losing. Now, are they gonna step up and cover, Jimmy?
SPEAKER_02:You know what? I'm gonna say yeah. All right. I hate the goddamn Saints.
SPEAKER_03:Yep.
SPEAKER_02:Every time I pitched against them, they've they've they've put up a fight, though. So but fuck. Screw it.
SPEAKER_03:They've been battling, man. I mean, you got you got a coach in his first season, so offensive guy. He won the Super Bowl last year.
SPEAKER_02:Well, and then Rattler sucks, man.
SPEAKER_03:Like yeah. They don't have a cool. What about shoot?
SPEAKER_02:Shuck? Shuck. A piece of shuck.
SPEAKER_03:No, I can be the bears. The piece of shuck. Um, all right, uh, Mike, who you got in this?
SPEAKER_04:I've got uh I got New Orleans for some reason.
SPEAKER_03:Four and a half? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:All right, um, Justin.
SPEAKER_06:Mike, I know the reason why you got New Orleans. Same reason I got New Orleans. It's because Caleb Williams sucks. I don't care. Well, yeah. Well, I think I don't care. Four and a half is way too much. That's what I was thinking. No way.
SPEAKER_03:That's what I was thinking because of the last two wins. They're gave him an extra point and a half, maybe. But if you look at the just this game, you know, the Saints are gonna battle, the Bears are gonna play at home. You know what, though? Still the Bears. Kick a baby. He's feeling that they're gonna rally off this and they're gonna blow the Saints out. Give me the Bears by a touchdown.
SPEAKER_02:Do it for Dennis Farina. Yeah, there we go.
SPEAKER_03:He's gonna be eating the whole time. Good sausage. Uh, all right. Let's go to New York as the Carolina, upstart Carolina Panthers. They're now 500. Sure. Yeah. They're coming into play. I mean, they've really, and they beat the Falcons pretty handily, and the Falcons are no pushover, as you've seen.
SPEAKER_06:That was a that was pretty impressive.
SPEAKER_03:Well, yeah. I mean, well, if you look at the Bills' wins, they haven't beaten anybody. So the Panthers, the Panthers are showing toughness. Uh they're showing signs of life. Um, and they're gonna be in New York, who's still trying to get their first win of the year. Your Jets. Winless Jets. So you'd think they're gonna go winless. I mean, it's at home. Justin Fields, God, he I mean, if you put that was the worst game I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, that if you put the stat, if you put the stats out and count, you know, because Sachs count his passing yards, he had negative 10 passing yards.
SPEAKER_02:That that just worst game. Garrett Wilson literally took himself out of the game. Oh, faked an injury, so he would not have to do this.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, it was an ugly game. Yeah, it was the worst game I've ever seen. Yeah, it was terrible. I'm glad I had to work. Um again, I've said that. Um this is uh in New York. The Jets are getting one and a half. There's a lot of momentum in the that believes this is the week. Is it, Mike?
SPEAKER_04:I like Carolina, dude.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, uh, yeah, yeah, not the Jets. Okay, uh, Justin.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I don't like Carolina, but I like them against the Jets.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, this will be a big test for them, though. I mean, on the road for that offense. Isn't it gonna be a big test? I don't know. I mean, they're a young team. I mean, the Jets defense has been playing better. Uh they're getting a point and a half, Jimmy. Do you think that's enough? No, Panthers sweep here. Panthers sweep, man. Gimme Panthers, give me the sweep. What's the backup running back's name? Give it to me. Rico Daldell. Yeah, there he is. Out of Yale. Oh, okay. Not Yale. Yeah, he came from Dallas. I don't know. Uh, whatever. No idea where you're going with that one. Dynamite stuff there. Alright, um, let's go to the next game. And it's going to be hopefully a better one. Because these last few have not been that good. We have yes, we do. We have Minnesota hosting the Eagles. The Eagles coming off a loss. Another loss. Yeah. Hurts looked bad. Two in a row. The Vikings coming off a bye, I believe. Right. Well, did they find a quarterback during the bye week? Right. Because they're still. What are they gonna do at quarterback? Right. So this could be an ugly game. Or it could be shootout. Who knows? Or the Eagles are getting no way, the Vikings are getting one and a half at home. You are Vikings, Mike?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Um, um I will take I think the Vikings are.
SPEAKER_03:Alright. Um Justin, who you got in this?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I'm with Mike, dude. I mean, both these teams are kind of right now. Yeah, I got I I I'm just going with the home team, man.
SPEAKER_03:Wow. After the loss to the Giants. I mean, the Eagles did not look good. The defense didn't look good.
SPEAKER_02:No, but they'll have Jalen Carter back. Yeah, I'm going Eagles.
SPEAKER_03:I'll take the Eagles on the road. Jimmy? Yeah, I I mean I can't pick Carson Wentz. Alright. Alright, let's go to Kansas City. Uh the Chiefs, man, they're looking really good. They're three and three, but you know, they beat the Lions and they beat them pretty good. And they're getting no penalties now.
SPEAKER_02:Right, we're back to not flagging them for anything.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, uh it they're gonna be in the playoffs, of course. Right now, they're not in the playoffs.
SPEAKER_02:Well, we're gonna make sure that they're in, okay? Right, so bet accordingly. Unless T Kells and T Sway split, we're we're not missing. Well, then we're still gonna have them in.
SPEAKER_03:We want to see that guy on the sideline. Just look. After losing, all right, whatever, man. We're going off track. Anywho, the the Raiders are coming in town to Kansas City. They're getting 11 and a half in division. They've been looking bad, but it's in division. 11 and a half points. Is that enough to cover Mike?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I saw a line of 12 and a half, so I guess I'll take an 11. Um I'll take a two.
SPEAKER_03:Alright. All right, let's go to Justin.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I'm with I'm with Mike again. Um, Rasheed Rice is back this week, so now they got Rice, Worthy, and Hollywood Brown. Right when their offense is starting to cook, dude. I think they blow out the Raiders.
SPEAKER_02:Jimmy? It's a big spread, but the Raiders did a lot of scoring last week. Right. I don't think they can do it two weeks in a month.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that defense is. And the Raiders suck, man. 11 and a half's a lot. I don't give a shit. It's two touchdowns. But if they're getting rice back, yeah. And they're gonna try to get some momentum because they're still just three and three and not in the playoffs. So yeah, I'll take I'll take the Chiefs. All right, let's go to LA.
SPEAKER_04:So was everybody was everybody on the Chiefs on that?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, nobody's taking the points.
SPEAKER_04:That's a lot of points.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it is. But the Raiders suck, man. Yeah, and they had the D the defense seems like they'll shut down Gino.
SPEAKER_02:Well, can Gino do it two weeks in a row? Can he actually do anything?
SPEAKER_03:What do you do against a good team? Yeah, right. He played the Titans. So yeah. All right. Who just fired their coach? Yeah. After beating you. Right. No, I'm just they didn't beat him, didn't I? After losing to you. Yeah. That's right. Okay. The opposite of winning. Yeah, exactly. Um, let's go to LA as the Chargers are hosting the Colts. Okay. The Colts are going back to LA. Last time they were there, they lost to the Rams in a game where they could have won, but the guy dropped the ball over the end zone. And then it kind of went backfired from there, and the Rams made a you know, credit to them, they made the plays. Anywho, the uh Colts are getting two in LA. I'm gonna take the Colts. I'm gonna take the Colts, give them give me the two points, and I uh I just think that they they got better weapons than the line, they'll be able to run the ball. I mean, Jonathan Taylor and they'll be able to control the line of scrimmage. Quentin Nelson. Yeah, I'll take I'll take the Colts.
SPEAKER_02:Jimmy? Yeah, I mean, I uh I can't believe I trust Daniel Jones more than Justin Herbert in this one.
SPEAKER_03:Well, it's not about that. I mean, you have the offensive line hurt for the Chargers. I haven't been impressed with them. I mean, I've just been impressed the way the Colts play. Now, they were in a dogfight last week with the Cardinals. Right, but so this is gonna be a crazy game. Yeah. This will be a fun game. But it's it's only two points that we had. That would that game was just oh, that was great. Yeah, give me Colts. All right. I mean, this one will be fun though. The over-under is 48 and a half. I think it's gonna go over. That's what I'm gonna predict. Yeah, there we go. All right, Denver. Wait, I'm sorry, Jimmy. Um uh Mike, who you got in this?
SPEAKER_04:I'll go with uh I'll go with the Chargers, huh?
SPEAKER_03:Chargers minus two at home. All right, uh Justin.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I'm uh I'm with Mike again. Uh I I think the Chargers, if they if they don't get their ships straight soon, uh they better just start uh checking the bass.
SPEAKER_04:This call is being recorded.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I know. Thank you very much.
SPEAKER_04:Um this call is no longer being recorded.
SPEAKER_03:Well, okay, all right. Let's go to Denver then. And they are playing the Giants. Giants coming off uh home win over the Eagles. Taking it on the road to Denver, who's looking tough. But looking tough to watch. Yeah, they're just winning ugly because and the Giants are getting seven. I know because I would I was like, oh, Denver's gonna win this game. Right, but seven is a lot for the game. Seven's a lot, but Jackson, but you saw what the how they looked against the Jets? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. God awful. If they do that against the the Giants, the Giants will beat him. I'm gonna go Giants here. Seven points isn't is too much. I mean, Jackson Jackson Dart has not impressed me. I think Denver will win, but uh the Giants will keep it close.
SPEAKER_04:You mean Bo Nick?
SPEAKER_03:You mean Bo Nicks has an impression. Bo Nick's, whatever. Uh Mike's MVP. Mike's MVP pick. Yep.
SPEAKER_04:Hey. They had a tough game in England. All they gotta do is win the game. That's true. You're right, you're right.
SPEAKER_03:So what do you got here, Mike?
SPEAKER_04:Denver by a million.
SPEAKER_03:It's a stat party. It's a stat party for Bo Nick. Stats. All right. All right, uh uh Justin, who you got in this?
SPEAKER_06:I am not with you, Mike. I am taking Jackson Dart and Cam Scataboo to lose by less than seven.
SPEAKER_02:Jimmy.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I I think they keep it closer to seven. All right, let's go to Dallas. As this one, I think this will be a fun game. Um, as Washington's playing the Cowboys. Oof. I mean, who are no good, but they play in entertaining games from time to time. Yeah, I mean, yeah, one against the Packers, the the draw. And then they play no defense, man. Right, exactly. And Jaden Daniels is coming to town. Right, after a loss. Right, and they're getting the Cowboys are getting one and a half at home. I'm taking the commanders to get this win. Jimmy, and the cover. Give it a skins. Yeah. Alright, uh uh, Justin.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, it is gonna be a uh get your shit together game for Jaden Daniels, and he's gonna fall out. Um I got I'm going red skins.
SPEAKER_03:Okay. They need to stop Dak. Dak's been looking pretty good.
SPEAKER_06:But I mean, but they got some.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, well, I mean, they'll score 40 if they have to. Dak will stop himself. All right, let's go. Uh Mike, who you got in this?
SPEAKER_06:You want Cowboys.
SPEAKER_03:All right. There you go.
SPEAKER_06:Cowboys and the Browns in the same week. That's weird.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. All right, let's go to Arizona as the uh Cardinals are hosting the Packers. Who's gonna play QB for the Cardinals this week?
SPEAKER_02:Is it still gonna be Murray? I I think he's questionable. So I think they got a better chance with Brissett.
SPEAKER_04:They're better with Brissett, right?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, well, they're certainly better at looking over the offensive line. Right. Right. Um, he's definitely a serviceable quarterback. He's proven he can win. I think Kyler Murray gives you an extra factor, though, when he's on and he can run and open up windows that Jacoby can't we'll see, because usually after a while you can get the book out on the show. It's a lot like Casolano still. Anyway, I don't think it matters when it doesn't matter. In terms of Arizona, like I Jacoby or I think they're kind of the same team, regardless. They're gonna lose close. And that's exactly what I think they're gonna do to the Packers. I'm taking them at home though, with six and a half. Give me the Cardinals. Uh Jimmy. No. Taking the Packers. Um, Justin.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I I can't figure the Cardinals out with or without Kyler Murray. That team doesn't make a whole lot of sense at the end of the day.
SPEAKER_03:They win. Everything's close. They could easily be undefeated.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, spread's a little big. It's not in Green Bay. I think I'll take the Cardinals to lose my lessons they're gonna have.
SPEAKER_03:All right, Mike. I'm a junior.
SPEAKER_06:Two to two.
SPEAKER_03:All right. Uh let's go to um what is the next one? It is in San Francisco. Yeah, this is Sunday nighter as an old NFC West battle. Right. I mean, hey, back in the day, Atlanta. You ain't a Western conference if you don't got Atlanta. They were in the West in baseball as well.
SPEAKER_02:NFC West used to be the Rams, Niners, Saints, and Falcons.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, yeah. Geographically correct. This is not, this looks like a good game. Uh the Falcons are looking really good. Uh Bijon or Bajon, Robin. He's he's really looking insanely good. Like he's putting up really good numbers. And the Falcons have really turned it around after getting embarrassed in Carolina. They've beaten some good teams. Now they take it on the road across country. This is a Sunday night game, right? Sunday night game. They're getting two points. Oh. They're getting two points in San Francisco. Is it Mac Jones? I think Purdy's back.
SPEAKER_02:I think yeah, he might be. Yeah, Kittle might be back, but Fred Warner's dead.
SPEAKER_03:So that's that's huge. Yeah. I'm gonna take the Falcons here because of that right there. Mike, who you got in this?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I'm gonna go Falcons. Seems like uh 49ers are just holding on by a thread. Just the injuries are too much, man.
SPEAKER_03:That Fred Warner, like Jimmy said, uh the Fred Warner injury is he's like the QB of the defense, man. Like he's I think he's a Hall of Famer first ballot. But um, and you lose him, that's one guy you can't lose on defense, and that's the guy you're gonna need, especially with a guy like Robinson. Um, Justin, did I talk you into taking the Falcons? Are you gonna take Niners at home?
SPEAKER_06:Oh, yeah. No, I'm uh dude. I was big on the Falcons coming into the season. That that damn 30 and nothing loss to the Panthers totally murky the water.
SPEAKER_03:Phoenix looks a lot better because he looked at the Phoenix looks good.
SPEAKER_06:B Tons on the London's on fire. I mean, they're hot.
SPEAKER_03:All right, uh, Jimmy.
SPEAKER_02:So this is gonna be the 14th game. You're Niners, man. In a row. If the 49ers, if the 49ers go down, who's going down this somebody. I mean, shit. I I don't know. I hope it's one of the four plumbers they got playing offensive line next to Trent Williams.
SPEAKER_03:Now you're gonna have uh if you get Kettle back, you'll have Kettle to go with uh what's his face? Tongis?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Shit, you didn't skip a beat with Tongis, bro.
SPEAKER_01:Tong is good, man.
SPEAKER_02:No, I'm taking the Falcons. This 13 games straight. 49ers have gone without an interception.
SPEAKER_03:We're all taking the Falcons on the road in San Francisco. We're all taking Cleveland. Wow. I mean, there's too many people.
SPEAKER_06:1999 with the dirty birds up in here, man.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, um, that was a big win against the Bills. The Bills. Well, I mean, the Bills are good. Are they? Allegedly. No. They have four wins. Shut their mouth, Timmy. We'll we'll get there. We'll get we'll get the tables later. Yeah. Um let's go. This is, man, this is a great game. Monday nighter. This is the Monday nighter. Another two Monday night games. I ugh. I don't like this. I don't get it. This one's gonna be a lot more fun. They they the matchups are better, so they're you can tell because the times are spaced out. Uh, this is a good one. Detroit hosting the Bucks. Yeah. I mean, this is the the Lions coming off the loss against Kansas City. The Bucks look looking right Baker looking like the MVP.
SPEAKER_02:Well, what's funny is is everybody in the Lions secondary is out now that branch is suspended. Everybody, every receiver for the Bucks is out. So what's gonna get going? No, I don't think no, I don't think he's not playing. And you mean Abuka? Abuka, yeah. One of these days you'll get it right, man. I swear.
SPEAKER_03:Dude, Abuka, is he out? Babuka's out. Yeah, I don't think he's playing. Yep. It didn't, I mean, Baker's been figuring it out regardless. Yeah, yeah. You still got Baker. I mean, Goff's been playing really well, too. He's in the top five from MVP as well. He's throwing 75% percentage. He's at home. I'm not gonna pick first. What's the spread? It's it's not much. Let's go, let's go back to we're going to hard rock for our hard rock. No, it's uh we're going to hard rock and it's five and a half. The Bucks are getting five and a half.
SPEAKER_04:God damn, that's a huge spread.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it's big. I mean, uh, the the what does this tell you? I mean, the injuries that the Bucks have, no, no offense, and it's not gonna travel. I yeah, but they're not like this is where rubber heats meets the road. You got the Lions playing angry, but five and a half. Yeah, with an entirely missing record. Yeah, I mean, it's what you got here, Jimmy? I'm taking the bucks, man. Okay. Uh Mike.
SPEAKER_04:Oh man, first of all, plus one. I like the closet. Um better and better treat class. I'm not jumping up on line again.
SPEAKER_03:Lions minus five and a half. Uh Justin Baker.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, I mean it's a lot of points. And I I love Baker, but he's got nobody to get the ball to. Bucky Irving's still out, too.
SPEAKER_03:Uh no.
SPEAKER_06:I mean, they're just they're just beat the hell up. The Lions are gonna come back after the loss pissed off. Dude, I I I I I'm taking the Lions.
SPEAKER_03:The Lions offense still has their weapons. And they're playing at home. They're playing at home. That's why I'm I'm going lions here. I think they're gonna win by double digits, but if but I mean the Bucks, man, I'm not like this is this is just what they want you to do. It's like, yeah, go ahead and pick against us. I would not be surprised they won this game. And Baker wins this game. Shoot. He's definitely your favorite for MVP if he goes out there without the weapons and wins this. But that this will be a fun game. All right, let's go to Seattle for the uh next game as the as the this is gonna be a good game too. Um the Texans look a lot better. The defense is really good and the offense is getting it together. And but they're going to Seattle. Who look who's coming off a nice solid win from the East Coast. Yeah, I mean they now they're coming back home. They win. Extra day off. Now they're gonna go. 32 Jackson hosting the Texans. The Texans are getting three. Justin, who you got?
SPEAKER_06:They couldn't give me a hook on this one.
SPEAKER_03:Texans look good.
SPEAKER_06:I think I'm gonna take Seattle at home, man. I I've been wrong about Seattle all year. They're a damn good football team. Sam Bradford is freaking balling, dude.
SPEAKER_03:Right.
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, he's very yeah, I'm gonna take Seattle. I'm gonna take Seattle.
SPEAKER_03:Minnesota is looking dumb. They should have kept his ass. Yeah. Like a little bit too con too much confidence in the uh JJ McCarthy. Anyway.
SPEAKER_02:I think the the head coach had too much confidence in himself to be able to just take anybody.
SPEAKER_03:Especially, I mean, the guy just the season he had, he was 14. I mean, 15 and two 15 and 2. Yeah. Whatever. They were right there at the end. The Lions had one of the best ever seasons, otherwise, they win home field advantage throughout. They were anyway. All right, Mike, who you got in this?
SPEAKER_04:Well, I'm gonna go Seattle because everything jumped in 10 plus at night game in Seattle. I think that's the first one.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, 12th man. The hook. If the hook was there, I think I'd take the Texans. Because I have a feeling it's gonna be a push. I got Seattle. I'm gonna take them though at home. Watch out for the push.
SPEAKER_04:You get double points for the push, though.
SPEAKER_03:If I get it, alright. I get double points. All right. I get double points. I get double points. Well, what's that? I think I hear something. We had to go.
SPEAKER_01:Our ride was here. We gotta uh show.
SPEAKER_03:We gotta get on out of here. Our ride's here, but before we go.
SPEAKER_02:College football. Football. Yeah. Screw that. College basketball. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Noel's got their exhibition against Alabama tonight, baby. Which is crazy that they're playing it. I like it. Yeah. It's actually gonna get you some experience without costing you a loss. Man, teams are doing it more and more. It's a good idea.
SPEAKER_02:Um weeks away from the season, man. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:He's got a plan.
SPEAKER_02:That's right.
SPEAKER_03:All you gotta do is just survive this season.
SPEAKER_02:Finish better than 15th in the ACC.
SPEAKER_03:He's gotta be exceeding expectations. Right. Just gotta keep it not embarrassing this year. But it future looks good.
SPEAKER_02:Who's gonna get fired in college football? Yeah, Billy Napier or Mike Norvell?
SPEAKER_03:Who's out first? Who do you think? Who do you think? I don't know, man. I don't know.
SPEAKER_06:Oh, it's gonna be Napier, dude. Napier's got a smaller buyout.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah. That's what you would think. But I I but I'm telling you, the Knolls go on the road.
SPEAKER_02:Palo Alto? They're gonna leave that bitch.
SPEAKER_03:They lose to Stanford, man, who's who lost to Hawaii, didn't they? Or shouldn't they? Or somebody. They lost to Hawaii. They're horrible. I mean, you gotta be. No. Dude, Frank Reich is their coach. Some of the records, some of the some of the things that Mike Norvell's done at Florida State, the one season or the two seasons are just not enough. Seven and twenty without Jimmy.
SPEAKER_06:Who was only able to win with Cam Newton and Norvell could only win with Jordan Travis.
SPEAKER_03:Right. Like drastically. Jimbo could definitely do more than this without Jameis. Because he did.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, he still like beat Miami in every single time except the last time. Dude, even Willie Taggart didn't go an entire calendar year without winning a conference game. And he had James Blackman at quarterback.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it's been terrible. So you gotta win, you gotta win the next two for sure. It's a six-win dream, but who knows? They both could be fired.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Well, Napier's out.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:It's done. They're gonna lose the Mississippi State.
SPEAKER_03:I think it's a matter of time here, too. Yeah, it's gonna happen.
SPEAKER_06:Alright! Pain's got a sneaky one Friday night with Louisville coming to that's right.
SPEAKER_03:And we'll watch it, we'll react to it, and we'll talk to you next time, right here on the North Florida Sports Network.
SPEAKER_01:You gotta give us a shot! You know what? Yeah.
