NFL Picks And Playoff Stakes
Let me ask you one question.
SPEAKER_05:Before we get started, let's go over those results from last week as Mike 9 and 4. Yours truly 8 and 5. Jimmy Reno 6 and 7. Miami contributor Justin 4 and 9. On the season, I am in the lead 79 and 69. Followed by Mike at 76 and 72. Jimmy in third place at 71 and 77. And Justin bring up the rear at 62 and 82. If you want to make your picks, you can email us to at FSU Flex at Gmail. Take a time. It starts tonight ASD battle. The Jets. My Jets. Your Jets are playing the hottest team. What in the NFL? Yeah. Because the packs went down to Tampa and took care of business.
SPEAKER_03:The only pick I can get right every week is the video.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. I know it's crazy. Not right that they're back good again.
SPEAKER_02:Are we are we ready to call Drake May? I mean, Stafford and him are having the two.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. I think right now Jonathan Taylor put himself right back in the MVP conversation with another ridiculous team. Matt Stafford's right there.
SPEAKER_02:And yeah, we gotta have old Drake up there. Why not? Yeah. Alright.
SPEAKER_05:It's tonight. Jets. They're in Foxboro. They're getting 13 points. Mike, what do you got?
SPEAKER_04:I'm uh I'm pretty much our Patriots too, just like Justin, but uh uh short week, Thursday night. Yeah. Uh big spread. I mean the Patriots win on. I don't know how much they always dominate, so I'm gonna go with Jets on that.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, 13 points. Uh I'm going with the Jets. My Jets. You give my Jets 13 points? Come on. I mean, but Thursday night football is just a crapshoot, man. It's really hard to tell what's gonna happen. I think John Gruden, I I heard him saying, let's just get rid of Thursday night football. You know, I mean it's right, he's right. I mean, it's just for money. You have no none of the teams are prepared. So it's just like kind of like just a scrimmage on TV for money. So, but I'm gonna go, I'm gonna take the 13 points, and I'm gonna go Jets on the road. Jimmy.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I'll take the points and the Jets. I don't want to, but big game against Tampa Bay, short week, might have a little hangover. You saw it, you saw a trip up the Bills going down to Miami last week.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yeah. All right, well, Justin, what do you think here, man?
SPEAKER_03:I'm taking Drake May.
SPEAKER_05:Oh no.
SPEAKER_03:Why not, dude? 20 games under 500.
SPEAKER_05:Go with it, baby. All right, all right, let's go to wait, Spain, right? Madrid. Yes. The Dolphins. Right? The Dolphins after the big win over the Bills are gonna be the technical home team here, but they're playing the commanders, so we're still gonna be with Mariota. The commanders are getting two and a half. That's hard to believe. Justin, who you who you got?
SPEAKER_03:Dude, I got two uncles and two cousins that are gonna be at the game in Madrid. Oh, that's awesome.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:And that hometown crowd is gonna lead the Dolphins to victory.
SPEAKER_05:Yes. All right, Dolphins, minus two and a half. Um, let's. Jimmy, who you got?
SPEAKER_02:Oh, man. You know, I'm gonna take the commanders. The skins. They got that ass whooped. Dan Quinn is now calling the defense. Not that it's gonna really make much of a difference. Used to be on the staff.
SPEAKER_05:McDaniel was on the staff at Atlanta. Right. Right. Quinn was the guy that kind of told him, hey man, you're drinking too much. You gotta you gotta slow down here, or you're gonna be out of a job. So McDaniel has a real soft spot for uh Dan Quinn.
SPEAKER_02:I just, you know, big win over the Bills. I don't know if they can do it back to back, man. So I'll take the commanders. Give me the fins, baby.
SPEAKER_05:There you go. Gimme the fish. I like what I saw. And I did not like what I saw out of the commanders at all.
SPEAKER_03:So I will take dolphins are um are mammals, by the way.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, yes, yes, I understand. Okay. All right, thank you for that. Appreciate that. Thank you very much, Miss Jockey Stop. All right, let's go. Uh Mike, I'm sorry. Mike, who you got in this?
SPEAKER_04:I think I'm gonna take the commanders. I don't know. I think last week was the Super Bowl for the Dolphins. And that's a little play. Yeah, it's a reverse Gier. All right. Um, I don't know if they can keep it up, but let's go to Jacksonville.
SPEAKER_05:And speaking of just blowing it, oh yeah. They blew it in the in the fourth quarter. Good God, man. On every everybody just did their job there to lose that game.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:All right. Jags. I mean, yeah. In the last play, the defense scores again. Right, because Trevor Lawrence is I told you, man. I just don't see it. Nah. There's not it's not that it's not worth it. I mean, he's serviceable, but I I would say that at the most. All right, the Jags are at home. They're getting two and a half against the Charges. West Coast to East Coast. Justin, what do you got?
SPEAKER_03:I can't take the Jags anymore. I can't I've been picking them all season, dude. And Trevor Lawrence is Ryan Tannehill.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:That's a really good comparison, right? That is a good comparison, though.
SPEAKER_02:At least Tannehill could play received.
SPEAKER_05:I was gonna say Tannehill's got a little more athleticism. Um, all right, let's go with uh Mike. Who you got in this?
SPEAKER_04:I'm gonna go, not the Jags, also.
SPEAKER_05:All right, so you're going Chargers minus two and a half. Jimmy? I I I will also go. You're not, they don't, they're just gonna, you know, because Liam Cohen said let's flush it, guys.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, and the Chargers offensive line is is trash. Yeah. But no. I'm taking the Chargers. Uh uh.
SPEAKER_05:Give me the Jags at home. I got a feeling, man. I got a feeling. Yeah. Sure you do. Jaguars and Jets. This guy. I think the Jets. No, I think the Jags can get some pressure on Herbert, and uh I think they can I think they're gonna play a little mad. You never know. Uh I'll just go with them. All right, let's go to Tennessee. God-awful Titans hosting the Texans. They're getting six at home. Jimmy, who you got?
SPEAKER_02:It's gonna be gonna be Davis Mills. Miles Davis Mills. Davis Mills.
SPEAKER_05:We led him back, man. Yeah, yeah. Six? 93-yard drive at the end of the game, man. Six points? Six points. No, I don't.
SPEAKER_02:You know what? Give me give me the Titans. I don't know why, but but I I think that's a big bit high for the Texans. Home dog.
SPEAKER_05:All right, uh uh Justin, you gonna take your boy? Six and a half. I'm sorry, I just went at six and a half.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I know. That that depends in the Immortal Live.
SPEAKER_05:I'm sorry I didn't get that.
SPEAKER_03:Give me the second mortal live, dude. Give me the second.
SPEAKER_05:I'm gonna take Houston. Uh Mike, who you got?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I'm going to Houston as well.
SPEAKER_05:Alright, let's go to Minnesota as the Bears. Six and three Bears. Are going to Minnesota and Vegas is not buying it because they're giving the Bears two and a half points. Mike, who you got?
SPEAKER_04:Man, I really hate the Bears and I really like the Vikings, but this seems like I gotta take the Bears on the song bears.
SPEAKER_05:Alright. Um you know, I I told you, man, welcome to the welcome to the Vicky Bus, baby. You know, give me the bears, baby. Give me the bears.
SPEAKER_02:Jimmy. Yeah, I'm gonna take the uh monsters of the midway, the fighting dinner's farinas.
SPEAKER_05:All right. They're figuring out ways to barely beat the Raiders. And you know, it's it's just you gotta give them a shot. All right. Uh Justin.
SPEAKER_01:You gotta give us a shot. Yeah, I don't like Caleb Williams. I'm taking the Vikings. All right.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I was gonna say I would not be surprised there. All right, Pittsburgh. Steelers uh really laid an egg on Sunday night as they lost twenty-five to ten. Now they're home against the Bengals. The Bengals are getting five and a half. Justin? Hello? Justin.
SPEAKER_03:Six and a half.
SPEAKER_05:Five and a half. Yeah, Cincinnati's five and a half. They're getting five and a half in Pittsburgh.
SPEAKER_03:I think Flacco back door covered.
SPEAKER_05:All right. Yep, Mike.
SPEAKER_04:I don't know if he's playing or not, but I'm gonna go with uh I guess we'll go with uh Flacco as well for some reason.
SPEAKER_02:Alright, Jimmy Yeah, it's too many points, man. I don't think they win, but I uh nah, I think it's close. Steelers still win. Give me the give me the bangles and the points.
SPEAKER_01:Unless Flacco doesn't play. Right, yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Oh no, he's playing. Alright, well then yeah, give me a game. I mean division opponent.
SPEAKER_02:The secondary sucks for for the Steelers. Yeah. Alright.
SPEAKER_05:Let's go to Atlanta. As the Panthers. Five and five Panthers. Yeah, you just never know. Jekyll and Hyde Panthers. They'll lose at home by 10 to the Saints, but they'll go on the road and beat the Packers in Lambeau. But they're on the road again in Atlanta. They're getting three and a half. Mike, who you got?
SPEAKER_04:I think Atlanta. I don't know why.
SPEAKER_05:Minus three and a half. Alright. Justin.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, here's the reason why, Mike. Revenge. Revenge game.
SPEAKER_05:30 to nothing last time. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:There's your reason, and I'm with you. Give me the dirty bird. Forgot about that game when I did.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I'm gonna go Carolina here. I'm gonna take the points. Three and a half. Jimmy?
SPEAKER_02:I'm gonna take the Panthers as well. Alright. Until the Falcons start running that offense through Bijan Robinson.
SPEAKER_05:I don't have any faith in him. Alright. Let's go to Buffalo. As Baker and the Bucks are going up to Buffalo. And they're getting five and a half in Buffalo. Justin, who you got?
SPEAKER_03:Oh, dude, that's too many points with as questionable as the Bills have been playing, man. Josh Allen has been replaced by Drake May in my heart.
SPEAKER_05:So give me the bucks. All right. Mike.
SPEAKER_04:I'm gonna take the bucks, too. I think it'll be close, man.
SPEAKER_05:All right, Jimmy. There will be no tables. Oh my goodness. It'll be the Bucks. Wow.
unknown:Wow.
SPEAKER_05:What? There's no tables? No tables. Uh-uh. Tables. They're gonna they're gonna they're just gonna come back and they're gonna play their ass off after getting embarrassed on the road. Josh Allen's gonna have one of those games. Tampa's gonna have one of those games too.
SPEAKER_02:You know, I think the Bills win by dumb. You look at you look at Tua. How many Bills? Look at Tua and Josh Allen's stats side by side. They are they are almost identical. I know, except Josh Allen can run. That's fine.
SPEAKER_03:And when wins and losses are kind of different.
SPEAKER_05:Yep. All right. This is the one we've been waiting for all year. The game. The game.
unknown:Wow.
SPEAKER_05:The Giants are making the move. Oh, yeah. And they're starting Jameis Winston under center. Finally. And they're playing the Packers at home, and they're getting seven points. I'm just gonna I'm picking the Giants by a million. Jimmy? Yeah, give me the Giants. Yeah, baby. Mike.
SPEAKER_04:No. I'm going to go.
SPEAKER_05:You're going Packers, minus seven.
SPEAKER_04:Packers defense is gonna outscore the Giants offense.
SPEAKER_05:All right, all right, all right. Justin.
SPEAKER_03:I agree. Packers defense is the first time. All right. Yeah. All right. Yes. But they won't outscore them by more than seven. Give me the Giants the cover. All right. There we go. There we go. All right.
SPEAKER_05:All right. So let's go to this is this is actually, this might be the one of the games of the year in terms of NFC rankings and what's going to happen as the Rams host the Seahawks. And these teams are on fire. I mean, it's pretty much. I bet who wins this game wins that division. I guess you get what? A field goal at home. Seattle's been a good road team. Seattle's getting three on the road. Man, this is going to be a great game. Mike, who you got?
SPEAKER_04:I'm taking the Seahawks. I think I was late to the party, but now that I'm there, I'm sick of the couple of times. They're good, man.
SPEAKER_05:They are really good. They got a great defense, and then they got weapons with Smith and Jigba. He's like the number one receiver in the league right now. And Sam Darnold's putting up good numbers. Not a bad pick there. Justin, who you got?
SPEAKER_03:You know what Sam Darnold has not seen yet, though? He has not seen Cam Kinchins. Room in the secondary.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Jimmy the Rams.
SPEAKER_05:Yes. All right. Minus three. Jimmy, who you got? Going Rams. All right. They're firing on all cylinders. I mean, this is I mean, both teams are. This is going to be a great matchup. I mean, you got Matt Stafford, who's playing better than anybody, better than he has his whole career, it seems. Just efficient, and he still has a just a rifle cannon for an arm.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Oh man. I love the Rams defense too. I think they get to Sam Darnold, but oh man. They've been good on the road. Uh give me the Rams.
SPEAKER_03:You got two Seminoles on the Rams. Give me the Rams. I know.
SPEAKER_05:That's my team, man. That's my Rams. All right, let's go to Arizona as the Cardinals are taking on the Niners division opponent. The Cardinals are getting three at home. Jimmy, who you got?
SPEAKER_02:I will take the Cardinals. There is no pass rush in San Francisco whatsoever. Yeah. And that exposes that secondary. I don't give a shit who's playing quarterback anymore. Right. So give me the birds. Justin, who you got?
SPEAKER_03:I'm so sick of the goddamn Cardinals, dude. Yeah. I'm sick of this team, dude. Yeah, they're so frustrated. So give give me the Niners, dude. I just want I I just want the Cardinals off my TV. Yeah. Mike?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I I like uh San Francisco and this one, and I just hate the Cardinals pretty much all the time.
SPEAKER_05:So yeah, I do too, but you know. Did not like what I saw from San Francisco. I think the injuries are starting to get to them. I'm gonna go Arizona at home. They I think last week was an anomaly. That was the only game they've really got blown out or blown anybody out. They're always close. So this is gonna be a close game. They'll probably lose, but I'll have them lose by a point. Uh go give me the Cardinals to cover. All right, let's go to Denver as the Broncos. First place Broncos coming off an ugly win. So they do eight and two. The quarterback looks terrible, but he's eight and two. Yeah. Um, but they're getting the job done. The deal relying on that defense. The Chiefs are coming in. The Broncos are getting three and a half at home. Mike, your Broncos?
SPEAKER_04:They are usually, but I don't think so this time. I think the Chiefs, I think the Chiefs might be coming off a buy. Broncos have feasted on shitty teams, so I think uh I think the Chiefs are gonna hand on pretty easily.
SPEAKER_05:All right. I agree. I think this is right now the Chiefs aren't in the playoffs. They are tied with Jacksonville, and Jacksonville has head-to-head. So they're gonna win.
SPEAKER_03:That's one hell of a sentence. I know. I know.
SPEAKER_05:It really is. So I just think that this is a must-win for Kansas City. And that just Bo Nicks, it's gonna catch up to him. I think the Chiefs will find a way to score more than the Broncos. Let's go to Justin. Who you got?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah. I think the uh I think the Chiefs are about to start really rolling after that loss to Buffalo. Um, and yeah, Bo Nicks. God, man, Bo Nicks has looked really bad this year. Um, so I I got the Chiefs in this one.
SPEAKER_05:All right, uh Jimmy.
SPEAKER_02:You know, I think the Broncos keep it close.
SPEAKER_05:All right, three and a half, taking that home Dolls. Yep. All right, let's go to Cleveland as the Browns. Yeah, right? Fucking Browns. Are hosting the Ravens. The Ravens are coming in, and the Ravens are turning it around. And the Browns, though, at home, they still have Miles Garrett, who is the best freaking player in the world. I mean, good God. As a monster. They're getting seven and a half at home. Justin, who you got?
SPEAKER_03:Oh, that stupid hook. Yeah. Oh. Damn, I want to take, I want to take the Browns, but this is regular season Lamar, prime time, dude. I I I think the Ravens. Oh, I'll take the Ravens. I'll take the Ravens. I don't really want to, but I will.
SPEAKER_05:This isn't Jameis Winston's Browns. So I will take it right.
SPEAKER_02:What was the score when they played earlier in the season?
SPEAKER_05:The Browns got killed. Yeah, it was like 100 to nothing. Got killed in Baltimore. They they they hung around for a little bit, but just once it once it breaks, it just that's it. They don't have anything. And they're cool. I mean, what's his face looked terrible? Gabriel? Yeah. He looked bad. So they're gonna go to Shador. Yeah, I'll go I'll go Baltimore.
SPEAKER_03:Why not at this point?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I know. I'll go Baltimore here. Uh Jimmy? Yeah, I'm going Ravens. And Mike.
SPEAKER_04:Oh Ravens. All right.
SPEAKER_05:All right, Philly. This is a Sunday night game's a good one. Uh Philly, Super Bowl champs, are hosting Man Campbell and the Detroit Lions coming off a huge win on the road. Blowout win. They're gonna be in Philly getting two and a half. Mike, who you got?
SPEAKER_04:Who was it in Philly?
SPEAKER_05:Detroit. Detroit is plus two and a half, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Oh god, I'm thinking Detroit.
SPEAKER_05:You're excited on that one. Yeah, yeah. Justin.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, man. I'm back on the man Campbell train. Give me the Lions.
SPEAKER_02:Alright, uh, Jimmy. I want to give a special shout out to uh AJ Brown for advising me to to pinch him on fantasy. Um that was that was nice of him.
SPEAKER_04:Like he didn't already know.
SPEAKER_02:Like, well, I mean, uh it it kind of confirms what I yeah. So I'm gonna take the Lions.
SPEAKER_05:Really?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Hmm. Give me the Eagles. I think the Lions have been beating up on uh bad teams. Caitlin Carter's looking really angry. He can just blow up everything. I think the Eagles will figure out a way to win by a field goal. Alright, let's go to Monday night, and this is a shit show. Uh the Cowboys will be in Vegas.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Oh my god, who wants to watch that game?
SPEAKER_05:Right? What the Raiders are getting three. Mike, who you got?
SPEAKER_04:Cowboys.
SPEAKER_05:Alright. Justin.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, if the Cowboys score more than three touchdowns, they'll cover that spread. Gimme the Cowboys.
SPEAKER_02:Jimmy. Oh, I hate picking the goddamn Cowboys, man. But yeah, the Raiders are just bad. Bad, bad, bad, man. Bad. Chip Kelly, you got all those weapons and you can't do shit.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Quarterback sucks.
SPEAKER_05:This is just what they need, though. Cowboys defense. I'll take the Raiders at home. Fuck the Cowboys, man. I'm tired of them. Tired of the idea of Cowboys. Tired of it, man. It's terrible. Just terrible. Alright, so I'm picking the damn Raiders again. There you go. Yeah. Your Raiders. Your Raiders. Alright. What? What is that? I hear it backing up.
SPEAKER_01:We had to go. Our Rod was here. We got a shuttle.
SPEAKER_05:Well, we gotta get on out of here. Our rides here. But before we go, oops! FSU. So close. So close to taking down defending national champion Florida Gators on the road. Falling by 2.78 to 76. But man, excited. I'm excited. Yeah. It's gonna be a fun just brand of basketball. Even if they lose, it's gonna be up tempo. It's gonna be fun to watch.
SPEAKER_02:Right. No more of those 49 total point losses. Right.
SPEAKER_05:Just jack it, man. Shoot, shoot it. College football. The rankings. Miami's in. I mean, the ACC shouldn't even get a team this year. No, I mean, you know.
SPEAKER_03:I remember you had a different opinion just a couple years ago about the ACC getting the team in the playoffs.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, I know. I did. Well, I mean, that year they did. They had an undefeated team. And that was a four-team playoff. But like, no, I I actually think Miami's the there should be, it shouldn't go to the champion. Just give it to Miami because they got the best chance. You know?
SPEAKER_03:Miami's got a dog fight this weekend.
SPEAKER_05:They got that win over Notre Dame. Yeah, dog fight this weekend. Is it Pitt? NC State. NC State. All right. You got NC State.
SPEAKER_00:Notre Dame plays pit.
SPEAKER_05:I think if Miami wins out, they'll make it. Just because they want to put Notre Dame in. So they'll put them both in.
SPEAKER_02:Nah, ACC's only getting one team. You're not getting two teams in the ACC.
SPEAKER_05:You're not getting two teams in the ACC. Well, you better hope Notre Dame doesn't lose. I don't give a shit what Notre Dame does. Who's going to win that ACC? Maybe Pitt? They could. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Right now, Pitt has a better chance at getting to the ACC championship than Miami.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Maybe Louisville, maybe Georgia Tech. Could be. Georgia Tech's got to play Pitt.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Dit can really wreck a whole bunch of seasons up here in the next couple of weeks. Right. They got Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, and Miami.
SPEAKER_02:Well, you heard what Narduzzi said when they asked him about the Notre Dame game. He says, I don't really give a shit if we get beat by 100. You know, if they're not ACC. Our only path to the playoffs is winning the ACC.
SPEAKER_00:There you go.
SPEAKER_05:Well, we'll watch them and we'll react to them. 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?
