Welcome, welcome, welcome to a mini edition of the Pine Pony Podcast. It's me, the OG, along with the fantasy uncle. What's happening, Perch? Howdy, howdy. Happy to do a little mini sode. Look ahead. Looky ahead. Look ahead. Looky ahead to The old looky ahead. Yeah, look ahead to week 11. There you go. There you go. Let's do it. All right. Well, yeah, let's start a show The Pied Pony Podcast. Real quick in the latest news of the NFL. I believe the Bears OC Shane Shane Layton Shane Lawton has been relieved of his duties Waldron yeah, Shane Waldron saying whatever the fuck his name is. He's a Bears guy. He sucks. So Hasta la vista his duties have been relieved You Yeah. And I believe the, what is it? The fucking wide receivers coach was, was moved up to do all the play call on duties or whatever. So bears are going to bears. That's just what the bears do. No, no surprise. Anything you wanted to add to that sudden firing? No, I, I just, I would just say that I think that you were fluses. Is also on the way out if not During the season in the offseason. I think they let him go unless there's some drastic dramatic improvement At the end of the season here. He's he's gotta go. He's already had his chance two different ocs now I mean, he's just he can't get anything going with that team There's no excuses left. They got so much talent on that team and the team is, but so. Yeah, I would say, I would say he's overstayed his welcome. All right. Moving on to week 11 and week 12 of college football. So we've got another interesting week, a couple of matchups coming up with college football that can help decide the final picture of some of these conferences. One to keep an eye on the PM game, Tennessee versus Georgia. Look to see if Tennessee can keep this hotness going. See if Georgia and Carson Beck can keep their playoff hopes alive. As they're sitting at number 12 in the AP pool in number 7, Tennessee. This should be a good game it's gonna be in Georgia, so big time test for Tennessee. We'll see if the volunteers can come away with the dub. Georgia's favored by 10, by the way. Wow, 10. Yeah. Wow. See, I, I would have thought that they'd be favored just because They've got so many fucking five star recruits. They're probably just gonna be favored by by any team I just don't understand how you're favored when your quarterback is throwing 17 touchdowns to 12 interceptions I just The guy is a fucking turnover machine. Honestly, I think I'm just going to bet that, I'm just going to bet that, because it, like even if they lose, they're probably covering ten, like, I don't think they just get blown out like that. Or, yeah, or it's going to be a blowout, that's what it's going to be. It's either going to be a blowout or not. I think it, I think it's going to be a close game. I thought that they would probably be underdogs, the volunteers, but I'm I'm surprised it's double digits like that. I really am. Yeah, it is indeed. Another game in the SEC, Missouri in South Carolina, Missouri's number 23, South Carolina's 21. This game is in South Carolina. Missouri is seven and two and three and two in the conference. So they're very much in the fight that try to keep their playoff hopes alive by getting to the title game. This South Carolina is a 12 point favorite. South Carolina has been looking good, man. Rocket Sanders has been running the ball all over everybody, just everybody. So it'll be interesting to see what Missouri does. They typically give South Carolina a run for their money even pulled off the upset a few times. So. We'll see if this is one of those years is four o'clock four o'clock game. And you know, Missouri loves company. So yeah, they're gunning for that upset. They are indeed gunning for the upset. SNU plays Boston college, Boston college five and four. They could pull off an upset, but unlikely SMU is a 17 and a half point favorite there. Notre Dame still in the mix of things. Virginia is no slouch. So we'll see what they, they can do there. Keep it out of there. Penn state plays Purdue. That's your, they should easily win. Clemson plays Pittsburgh. As we said in the last episode, got to win this game to keep the hopes alive. Colorado plays Utah. You got to win this game to keep hopes alive. They'll win. Can't start losing conference games now, boys. Nah, won't. They won't. They got, they got that ship turned around. I don't know how they got it turned around, but they seem to have got that ship turned around and I'll take it. Yeah, I mean, and in Texas plays Arkansas, which Texas is only a 13 and a half point favorite, which I feel like that's pretty low for Arkansas considering Arkansas is not very good. I don't know. So we'll see. We'll see exciting Saturday coming up. Can't wait to watch, but onto the big boys. The NFL, where the real men play, so to speak. A couple games we're looking at is the Thursday night game. The NFC, Battle for the NFC East. Commanders versus the Eagles. Eagles are a 3. 5 point favorite. The total is a 48. 5. Ooh, man, I don't, this game could go either way. This game could, I mean, this could, who, last person has the ball? Gotta, gotta guard Saquon. I'm telling you. I think that I actually like the under. Not only is, are both of these defenses perhaps, like, Much better than people are giving them credit for but also it's a Thursday night game So each team played this past week. They're going to have a shorter amount of time to Get a defensive game plan for the other team Although they they probably already have I mean for defensive matchup for In division matchups, I guess that's a little bit easier, but still, I think that the defenses and running the ball will kind of keep the score lower. So I do like the under one over that I do like though, I saw on prize picks, they've already got the a lot of the quarterback pickums are already put up for the full slate, not just Thursday, but specifically for Thursday. I like the Jim and Hertz at 220 like I would take the over on that. I understand he hasn't even been hitting that lately, but the thing is that they've been in these weird games. They've got like three games in a row. They just blow the other team out. They don't need to throw the ball. You know, I think that Washington is a good enough squad where they're going to keep throwing the ball. And I think that he's going to get more than 220 yards passing. Well, and not only that, it's a Thursday night game. So that means he'll, they'll just do the opposite of what like. They want you to think like eagles typically run the ball. So you're like, Oh yeah, we're, we're St. Colm Barkley is going to eat it up. And then, you know, maybe he's going to get into a passing situation where they just pass, pass, pass. Cause there's just, it's just, everybody's just scoring. It's a score fest. Just like last week. They're going to reverse psychology. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah, that should be a fun game for Al, Al and Kirk on the Prime Broadcast. Next game I'm interested in, I mean, I'm interested in the Packers Bears game, simply because it is the oldest rivalry and it is the Bears Packers. But I'm more so hoping that we just do what we should do to the bears and demolish them. We are a six and a half point favorite in Jordan loves home away from home. That is soldier field and a 40 and a half total over under. Yeah, I think defense is going to pop off on Caleb Williams. And I think Jordan Love coming off the bye week able to rest that groin should have a better Jordan Love game than he's had previously. I'm hoping what do you think about that game? Yeah, I think it It's looking really good for the Packers right now I you know, they're gonna try to tweak some things Even if they do manage some meaningful changes with Waldron out of there, you know, for the very first week out, there's just going to be these minor tweaks that they're trying to get done. And if anything, that they're, it's, they're not going to be well practiced enough with them. The, the vibes in Chicago are horrible right now. I mean, this is, they're just in such a bad spot right now. Everything is pointing towards the Packers coming to town and taking that victory. I don't see re signing their lease to the, to the ownership of the Bears. Re signing their lease. That's right. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Coming, coming to your house and taking a shit on your floor. I mean, it's a big time game for green bay because they are owing to in the division already. So they need a division win here to kind of get the juices flowing for the division games coming up. So we shall see, we shall see. Moving on. We got what chiefs versus bills. That should be, Could this be the first loss of the Chiefs, or could the Bills, you know, fall under pressure? They are a two and a half point favorite, 46 and a half over under. What'd you think about this game, man? What'd you, what'd you like in here? I love this game. I'm really interested in this game, man. I feel like both of these teams have just played Really consistent football aside from kind of josh allen himself having a sloppy game this past week I think that I think that we're going to see some good football. I think that this is going to come down to the end It's probably going to be a walk off home run or maybe even overtime I think let's say home run walk off touchdown or maybe even overtime something like that. I I think I think this is going to be a great game. I think every time that they've played over the past four or five years, it's been a great game. I don't see this being any different. Yeah. I mean, I think the bills come away with a win here only because it's based off Josh Allen. I think if Josh Allen just doesn't turn the ball over, I think the bills have been playing better and more consistently than the chiefs. The chiefs have been playing well, like well enough to win. But every win is kind of had to be from some somewhere or somewhere else. You know, it's always, I think it's eventually just going to come just like the hurricanes, eventually it's going to come and bite you in the butt. So, plus I think, you know, the chiefs don't want that pressure of going undefeated, go ahead and get this loss out of the way you don't want that. Derek won't like it, but you know, whatever go bills. Let's take a look at, let's see, we got the bangles and the chargers to look at for the Sunday night game, you know, see if Joe burrow can continue with Jamar chase and see what the chargers can do. If they can muddy that game up, which I think they will. And it'll be horrible. I mean, so. I'm not sure what the Joe Burrow Unders will look like and the Jamar Chase Unders will look like, but it, you know, I would look at those. The spread on this game is one and a half going to the Chargers. Chargers are giving up one and a half at home. With a total of 46 and a half. I mean, the under there looks nice to me too, man. I just don't see this being a high scoring game. I don't know. What do you think? It's, it's really hard to say because you, you basically got a top three defense in the league, and I think they're actually first in the league in scoring, and then you've got a team. That's just red hot lately. That just seems to be putting up, you know, big scores week in, week out now. So it, it'll be interesting to see indeed which side of the coin wins out here. So the Chargers defense is legit. Harbaugh's got them playing really sound fundamentals and they, I, I think probably the most likely thing is somewhere in the middle where, you know, borough gets. A few big plays in there and they do some scoring, but I think that they're, they're going to be held down a little bit. I think that it ultimately it is a close game. I kind of like the under though. I kind of like the under there. I think that the Chargers and the Bills defense is just a little bit underrated. I think the Chargers have a better defense. Yeah. The Chargers have a better defense than the Bengals, but also the Bengals have a better offense than the Chargers. And I feel like the differences in both directions are, are kind of the same amount of difference. So super evenly, I actually think I'm just going to give the nod to the Chargers. I predicted the Chargers will win just because they're the home team. I will say that when you were talking about looking at the over unders for the week. On prize picks, they've already got Jamar chase at 84 and a half yards and they've got Joe burrow at two 63. I'm a little iffy on the 84 and a half, but I, I do like that two 63 number. I think that. They're going to throw a lot, no matter what. And so I think he does get over that two 63 number. Okay. So yeah, very interesting. And then the last game that I wanted to look at Falcons lost last week to the saints. They got the broncos at home this week Denver is a two and a half point favorite with a 43 and a half point over under this to me Like could be a very similar game. Where they played what was the ravens where you just The hoot where you just this is last week. You just played where the running back they were just gashing with the running back and then they were gashing you with the Passing what week was that? Who'd you just play? That was two weeks ago. We played the ravens. Yes I think this looks like a raven. This could be a raven style game for the falcons How close to them in the first half and then they absolutely blew us out in the second half I think it all depends on Kirk Cousins though. Unfortunately, he's not nearly as good as Lamar in my opinion. So they probably won't be, Denver could stay in this game for a lot longer than the, than they could with the Ravens, I think so. This should be an interesting game to watch man to see what your cousins could do because even though they're six and four I haven't really been in like they just kind of been ho hum for me Atlanta. They haven't really been over the radar I feel like the Falcons have been the epitome of like a pretty solid team all year long But not anything that you're overly scared of you know, I I think if we could get the defensive line to play as well, and really the offensive line too, to play as well as they did against the chiefs. Then we'll be good. Then I think we, we probably win, but if we can't keep up that same kind of production on in the trenches, then I don't love our chances. I, I do think that even with a good defense, the Falcons still always managed to get a couple of big plays, whether it's pits or it's Mooney or it's London, they've got a ton of weapons and they always. Something that always slips, no matter what, I don't think we shut them out. So we're going to need like a decent level of offense, you know, if we're going to win this game here. And so I want to see the O line show up again. If we could get the ball running, you know, like just hammer them away with estimate that set up some of those play actions and bootlegs that Peyton likes to throw in there, I think we'll be fine. But. Ultimately, I do think this is a close game. I do think it's a close game. I'm going with the Broncos here. I, I predict the Broncos to win mostly just because it's kind of a toss up and that's my team. So there you go. There we go. Stampede, stand it, stamping. That's right. Stampede coming for them. All right. Well, that's all we got for the Minnesota. As always, you can bet alongside with us.
