00:00:50.235 --> 00:00:51.018

00:00:51.018 --> 00:00:52.204
Did the panthers actually win?

00:00:52.545 --> 00:00:56.097

00:00:56.116 --> 00:00:58.646
Okay, okay, so close, we're going by close champions.

00:00:58.646 --> 00:01:03.944
Well, I'll take that okay, okay, we're going by close now, all right, okay, new, new standard.

00:01:04.004 --> 00:01:09.968
new standard here on pickle Apparently when you play the Chiefs, you're not going to have the refs on your side.

00:01:09.968 --> 00:01:11.316
That's going to be a pretty hard game.

00:01:12.621 --> 00:01:13.004
All right.

00:01:13.004 --> 00:01:15.314
Well, we will definitely get into all of that.

00:01:15.314 --> 00:01:18.141
We've got an absolute fire show for you today.

00:01:18.141 --> 00:01:20.102
Here Be about an hour or so.

00:01:20.102 --> 00:01:22.203
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

00:01:22.804 --> 00:01:24.724
We are going to preview week 13.

00:01:24.724 --> 00:01:26.346
We've got some great games this week.

00:01:26.346 --> 00:01:29.448
We're going to talk about the NFL MVP race.

00:01:29.448 --> 00:01:31.530
We're going to talk about the commanders.

00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:33.891
Did we overreact to the commanders a little bit?

00:01:33.891 --> 00:01:37.134
Who's the top rookie QB right now?

00:01:37.134 --> 00:01:39.075
If you were to draft today, who would that be?

00:01:39.754 --> 00:01:51.525
And again, the biggest news, we've got our special guest, brianna, joining us for our show this week, so we cannot wait to hear her take she's up and coming to see what we do here with Pick'em Pros.

00:01:51.525 --> 00:01:58.325
Not only do we pick games for pros at that, but we also are pros in picking those that are going to be big in this industry.

00:01:58.325 --> 00:01:59.250
You know what I mean.

00:01:59.250 --> 00:02:02.887
We've had our guy, christopher Davis, on many, many weeks.

00:02:02.887 --> 00:02:12.967
Look forward to seeing Chris on in the next week or so, but this week we are featuring another up-and-coming star, which is Brianna, so you're seeing her first here on Pick'em Pros.

00:02:13.147 --> 00:02:14.131
That's how we do it, man.

00:02:14.131 --> 00:02:14.611
That's what we do.

00:02:14.611 --> 00:02:17.806
You know we also being ahead of the curve.

00:02:17.806 --> 00:02:20.573
We are ahead of the curve with Thanksgiving.

00:02:20.573 --> 00:02:29.524
See, a lot of y'all are missing on how to do Thanksgiving the right way.

00:02:29.524 --> 00:02:30.606
See, we've already had Thanksgiving dinner.

00:02:30.606 --> 00:02:30.866
Yeah, we have.

00:02:30.866 --> 00:02:31.688
We ate it yesterday Ahead of the game.

00:02:31.688 --> 00:02:33.193
We ate it yesterday, so we're on leftovers right now.

00:02:33.193 --> 00:02:40.039
So we're going to be sitting back chilling watching the Lions have potentially a beat down today and whatnot, and we're going to be on leftovers.

00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.882
So it's kind of another part of our strategy being ahead of the curve.

00:02:42.882 --> 00:02:45.443
All right, well, let's get into it.

00:02:45.443 --> 00:02:53.388
We know you're waiting for our special guest, so, without further ado, let's go ahead and bring in Brianna.

00:02:53.388 --> 00:02:54.269
What's going on?

00:02:54.848 --> 00:02:56.229
Yeah, happy Thanksgiving.

00:02:56.530 --> 00:02:57.730
Happy Thanksgiving.

00:02:57.730 --> 00:03:02.173
Yes, yes, so you ready for a big meal later today.

00:03:02.693 --> 00:03:03.875
Oh yeah, I'm very excited.

00:03:03.875 --> 00:03:07.697
Oh yeah, I don't know what I'm going to like the most, but I'm excited for all of it.

00:03:08.236 --> 00:03:12.906
All of it, oh yeah, All of it Cannot go wrong.

00:03:12.906 --> 00:03:13.814
Yeah, we had a great Thanksgiving.

00:03:13.814 --> 00:03:15.207
We had plenty plenty of things.

00:03:15.207 --> 00:03:18.007
We even added duck to the menu.

00:03:18.026 --> 00:03:18.228
Yeah.

00:03:20.223 --> 00:03:21.207
Yeah, we added duck.

00:03:21.207 --> 00:03:22.781
That was a big hit.

00:03:22.781 --> 00:03:24.822
Big shout out to my mom Thank you for doing that.

00:03:24.822 --> 00:03:32.647
I know you had a lot to do and she graciously added that on and dad put the turkey on the grill so we had smoked turkey.

00:03:32.647 --> 00:03:34.468
Just love to introduce you to our group Again.

00:03:34.468 --> 00:03:52.924
We know that you are covering a lot of sports.

00:03:52.924 --> 00:03:59.021
We've seen some of your packages that you're working on doing a great job with that and you know, going to be going off to college and you know, I can definitely see.

00:03:59.021 --> 00:04:02.287
I know you said that NFL is, you know, one of your favorite sports.

00:04:02.287 --> 00:04:11.527
So I could, I could definitely see, you know, nfl Network, espn, you know, or just the Brianna Show so many things we can see in the future.

00:04:11.527 --> 00:04:13.324
So it's going to be cool to look back at this.

00:04:13.324 --> 00:04:21.370
You know, many years from now Not many years, but actually it doesn't take that long A few years from now and seeing that the first podcast was here on Pick'em Pros.

00:04:32.220 --> 00:04:34.750
But we understand you're out on the West Coast and we see the Cardinals football and whatnot.

00:04:34.750 --> 00:04:35.694
Tell us a little bit.

00:04:35.694 --> 00:04:41.586
Yeah, yeah, buddha Baker, larry Fitzgerald yeah yeah, fitzgerald, yeah, he was a legend legend out there, for sure.

00:04:41.586 --> 00:04:42.228
Yeah yeah, we were at camp.

00:04:42.228 --> 00:04:43.132
In our intro we were at the training camp.

00:04:43.132 --> 00:04:46.184
Last year we happened to be in Arizona during summertime.

00:04:46.184 --> 00:04:53.228
We were able to get by there and catch the camp, get some signed autographs and, yeah, really cool time, love to get down there and catch a game.

00:04:53.228 --> 00:05:01.281
But yeah, so cardinals, they're just, they're, you know, hometown team but are, do you have any, any other big teams that you pull for?

00:05:02.024 --> 00:05:05.636
the lions lions okay, detroit lions.

00:05:05.636 --> 00:05:08.363
Yeah, the family will be really happy to hear that we got some more.

00:05:08.363 --> 00:05:13.339
We got some more lions for us all right, cool lies, um, great, great.

00:05:13.339 --> 00:05:23.706
So you um tell us just, uh, you know quickly about um, you know your, your budding career and where, where you're looking to what you're looking to do over the next couple of years yeah.

00:05:23.766 --> 00:05:25.548
So this year I'm a senior in high school.

00:05:25.548 --> 00:05:36.230
Next fall I want to go to asu study in sports journalism and kind of just put my foot in the door and hopefully get a career out of this and make it big.

00:05:36.230 --> 00:05:38.744
You know, so all right we can.

00:05:38.764 --> 00:05:40.026
We can definitely definitely see it.

00:05:40.026 --> 00:05:41.471
Well, we can't wait to hear your takes.

00:05:41.471 --> 00:05:45.267
We have, when we get to our week, 13 games we have.

00:05:45.267 --> 00:05:47.701
There's 16 games Everyone plays this week.

00:05:47.701 --> 00:05:49.185
There's 11 that we agree on.

00:05:49.185 --> 00:05:51.112
There's five that we disagree on.

00:05:51.112 --> 00:05:54.569
Can't wait to hear your takes on that, as well as everything.

00:05:54.569 --> 00:05:59.545
But before we go into the MVP race, as many people know, with Pick'em Pros, what we do is we.

00:05:59.545 --> 00:06:07.937
We're not a sports gambling show, although, with our name, you might might think that what we actually do is we just want people to have more investment in the game.

00:06:07.937 --> 00:06:11.843
Uh, from the standpoint of causes benefiting based on our picks.

00:06:11.843 --> 00:06:18.923
So, um, we wanted you to pick a cause that we can all play for and team up for, uh, this week.

00:06:18.923 --> 00:06:24.588
Uh, tell us a little bit about the cause that you chose for us this week, yeah, so I chose Paz de Cristo.

00:06:24.668 --> 00:06:27.886
It's a Christian shelter really.

00:06:27.886 --> 00:06:34.569
They help the homeless, they feed them, they clothe them, they house them, they help them get jobs and it's pretty local.

00:06:34.569 --> 00:06:39.865
Here in Arizona They've helped over 22,000 people and it started in 1988.

00:06:39.944 --> 00:06:41.286
Wow, okay, all right.

00:06:41.286 --> 00:06:44.853
Well, it's going to be fun to be able to help them out a little bit.

00:06:44.853 --> 00:06:48.439
Now's a great time to be able to do that by being Thanksgiving season.

00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.283
So we've got the website down below.

00:06:50.283 --> 00:07:01.394
So I want everyone to check them out, especially, you know, donate on your own Giving Tuesday's coming up, so we want everyone to definitely send some funds their way and help them out.

00:07:01.394 --> 00:07:08.485
But what we're going to do, just from you being here, we've already got 200 going to this cause, so that's already set.

00:07:08.485 --> 00:07:09.668
That's, that's the bottom.

00:07:09.668 --> 00:07:11.331
So, uh, shout out for that.

00:07:11.331 --> 00:07:19.043
But we're gonna have different bonuses throughout the show that may add a little more than where we might be able to raise that a little bit.

00:07:19.043 --> 00:07:25.680
So, as we get into our picks, we'll we'll touch on that, but we're already, we're already at at 200, so we're good on that.

00:07:25.701 --> 00:07:28.045
Yeah, all right, okay, well, let's get into it.

00:07:28.045 --> 00:07:28.646
You ready to talk?

00:07:28.646 --> 00:07:31.952
Nfl mvp all right.

00:07:31.952 --> 00:07:34.906
Well, let's go, man diego, kick us off, man.

00:07:34.906 --> 00:07:37.031
So nfl mvp race.

00:07:37.031 --> 00:07:38.978
Uh, we touched on this about two weeks ago.

00:07:38.978 --> 00:07:42.004
I'm curious to see if you're at the same standpoint right now.

00:07:42.004 --> 00:07:44.009
But let's go three to one.

00:07:44.009 --> 00:07:47.105
I want you to give yours, then we'll go breathe, then I'll go um.

00:07:47.105 --> 00:07:50.271
Give us your top three for nfl mvp as of right now.

00:07:50.271 --> 00:07:51.581
We know it's fluid all right.

00:07:51.601 --> 00:07:53.447
So number three, I got derrick henry.

00:07:53.447 --> 00:07:56.923
Uh, and I will give a hint, he's the only raven on this list.

00:07:56.923 --> 00:07:58.870
I don't have lamar, what on it?

00:07:58.870 --> 00:08:03.363
Uh, I just think derrick henry has a bigger impact right now than lamar.

00:08:03.605 --> 00:08:13.067
Okay, of course, he's like second in rushing yards, second in carries 13 touchdowns, that's first among the backs, and it's just the games they've lost.

00:08:13.067 --> 00:08:13.949
They've lost four of them.

00:08:13.949 --> 00:08:16.728
He's had less than 18 carries.

00:08:16.728 --> 00:08:25.062
So whenever they lose, they don't give him the ball, and whenever they win, he usually gets the amount of carries he needs and Lamar.

00:08:25.062 --> 00:08:27.593
In the games they win, he usually gets the amount of carries he needs and Lamar in the games they lose.

00:08:27.593 --> 00:08:30.706
He just doesn't seem to play the same in the pressure situations, I think.

00:08:30.706 --> 00:08:39.287
Even though he has had a great statistical year, the pressure games, he's not quite as good in those as he was last year and their record isn't quite the same.

00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:41.727
So, yeah, I got Derrick Henry there, all right.

00:08:41.727 --> 00:08:43.264
And number two, I got Josh Allen.

00:08:43.264 --> 00:08:49.683
They're arguably the best team in the AFC Beat the Chiefs.

00:08:49.683 --> 00:08:56.693
He's really shown all he can do how much he means to the team, because they lost Diggs and he's thrown to.

00:08:56.693 --> 00:09:06.072
You know, shakir and Curtis, samuel and sometimes Amari Cooper, and yeah, he's just much how valuable he is to them.

00:09:06.072 --> 00:09:09.285
And and yeah, I gotta have number two.

00:09:09.285 --> 00:09:11.611
Okay, and number one I got saquon.

00:09:11.611 --> 00:09:18.871
Saquon barkley, oh, um, just last year they didn't quite have, uh, the that it factor.

00:09:18.871 --> 00:09:25.265
Last year they seemed to always just fall short last year and this year with saquon they seem like a completely different team.

00:09:25.265 --> 00:09:33.024
I've got getting 250 rushing yards, yeah, a few touchdowns that's pretty big and uh yeah, just his impact.

00:09:33.065 --> 00:09:37.332
He's made them a sewer bowl contender again, so I gotta have number one.

00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:38.601
Saquon now.

00:09:38.601 --> 00:09:39.123
Did you?

00:09:39.123 --> 00:09:41.365
Did you have Saquon on your list last time?

00:09:41.365 --> 00:09:43.409
I think you did I think I did.

00:09:43.450 --> 00:09:45.413
Yeah, okay, okay, all right he.

00:09:45.413 --> 00:09:47.643
He still has 10 touchdowns with the whole.

00:09:47.643 --> 00:09:49.807
Does the hurts taking?

00:09:49.847 --> 00:09:50.168
his rush.

00:09:50.168 --> 00:09:55.631
That's right hurts, is taking a lot of touchdowns, so yeah I probably have like 20 now.

00:09:55.631 --> 00:10:00.307
Do you think they'll actually give it to a running back because it's become a qb award?

00:10:00.609 --> 00:10:07.331
I think they would this year because of how big the running backs have been, because the receiving numbers haven't quite been what they've been.

00:10:07.331 --> 00:10:17.072
The quarterback numbers you have Burrow, but his team is bad and you have Lamar, who hasn't quite played that great in the pressure situations.

00:10:17.072 --> 00:10:20.549
So I think the running backs have been playing great this year.

00:10:20.549 --> 00:10:22.667
I think they'd give it to a running back Okay.

00:10:23.028 --> 00:10:24.865
All right, good list.

00:10:24.865 --> 00:10:26.663
Three to one there.

00:10:26.663 --> 00:10:27.124
No, lamar.

00:10:27.124 --> 00:10:29.706
That's interesting because you had where we give it to Bree.

00:10:29.706 --> 00:10:32.509
You had Lamar on your list last time.

00:10:32.509 --> 00:10:34.924
Yeah, you had him one.

00:10:34.924 --> 00:10:35.727
He's fallen off.

00:10:35.727 --> 00:10:40.089
Then I asked, I said, okay, at what point is he ineligible for the award?

00:10:40.089 --> 00:10:43.813
We had some debate on that, but we won't get into that right now.

00:10:43.813 --> 00:10:45.139
So that's your top three.

00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:48.267
All right, brianna, let's uh, let's hear your your top three.

00:10:48.267 --> 00:10:50.692
Three to one for nfl mvp yeah.

00:10:50.751 --> 00:10:52.624
So my three would have to be barkley um.

00:10:52.624 --> 00:11:06.600
He's three because you know, like diego said, he's really helping the eagles and he has a lot of rushing yards and a lot of touchdowns to like make that team known to go to playoffs and do really well.

00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:07.703
Um.

00:11:07.703 --> 00:11:14.863
My second would have to be josh allen, just because I mean he has a lot of yards this season over 2000.

00:11:14.863 --> 00:11:19.211
He has 18 touchdowns already this season, which I think is phenomenal.

00:11:19.211 --> 00:11:22.966
They beat the chiefs and the refs didn't even help um.

00:11:22.966 --> 00:11:34.765
So you know, I feel like he would be second because he's really good and he knows how to get out of the pocket, he knows where to throw it, he knows all of like where all his players are, you know.

00:11:34.765 --> 00:11:42.610
And I think number one would probably have to be lamar um, just because he also has a lot of yards.

00:11:42.610 --> 00:11:46.096
You know he has like 3 000 yards so far.

00:11:46.096 --> 00:11:47.919
He has 27 touchdowns this season.

00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:52.207
So you know, I feel like he's a really good yeah, contender.

00:11:52.227 --> 00:11:54.952
So yeah, yes, okay now.

00:11:54.952 --> 00:11:58.509
So I've got to ask you the follow-up that I asked diego and chris last time.

00:11:58.509 --> 00:12:02.243
So lamar, number one, you know, still putting up big numbers.

00:12:02.243 --> 00:12:08.268
I think the game, the game this week, is going to be huge to determine if he beats the Eagles.

00:12:08.268 --> 00:12:09.544
That'll help him a lot.

00:12:10.181 --> 00:12:12.743
And then again, if the Eagles win, that'll help Saquon a lot.

00:12:12.743 --> 00:12:13.687
So that's going to be a big one.

00:12:13.687 --> 00:12:29.649
But let's say the Ravens don't make it to the Super Bowl, Not even win, but don't make it to the Super Bowl next year, this year, if we go into next year and Lamar's doing the same thing, he has even better stats.

00:12:29.649 --> 00:12:34.653
At that point would you consider him ineligible.

00:12:34.653 --> 00:12:42.567
Or do you say, hey, it's a regular season award, it doesn't matter how many times he wins it.

00:12:42.567 --> 00:12:43.532
I'm not going to factor the playoffs in at all.

00:12:43.532 --> 00:12:43.974
What's your, your take?

00:12:43.994 --> 00:12:53.408
on that going into next um, I think he'd definitely be ineligible, because if he does the same thing every season but can't execute it, then I think it's done okay, all right, all right.

00:12:53.447 --> 00:12:54.890
Yeah, definitely curious.

00:12:54.890 --> 00:12:59.727
I like to hear everyone's threshold on on that to see okay, how many, how many is too many?

00:12:59.727 --> 00:13:01.171
Okay, all right.

00:13:01.171 --> 00:13:03.280
Well, I'm gonna give you my top three.

00:13:03.280 --> 00:13:08.485
Uh, it's very similar to about two weeks ago and my first one is very controversial.

00:13:08.485 --> 00:13:13.230
I think you both may definitely disagree, and most of the audience, but that's okay.

00:13:13.230 --> 00:13:16.293
This is my list, so it's my top three, all right.

00:13:16.293 --> 00:13:18.193
So number three.

00:13:18.193 --> 00:13:21.177
I've got Tua at number three.

00:13:25.140 --> 00:13:26.486
This is definitely your list.

00:13:26.700 --> 00:13:27.705
This is definitely my list.

00:13:27.705 --> 00:13:29.385
That's a very nice way to put it.

00:13:29.385 --> 00:13:29.947
I love that.

00:13:29.947 --> 00:13:38.494
So again with Tua, I say now do I think Tua is top three in players in the NFL?

00:13:38.494 --> 00:13:45.133
No, but if I'm going by most valuable, tell me three players that are more valuable to their team than Tua.

00:13:45.541 --> 00:13:53.668
I think we've seen, based on this season, how awful they look when he was not there, and now they couldn't even run the ball when he wasn't there.

00:13:53.668 --> 00:13:56.087
Now they've got their swagger back.

00:13:56.087 --> 00:13:59.904
Tyreek Hill has been found Again.

00:13:59.904 --> 00:14:01.120
He's out of witness protection.

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.551
He was in witness protection with Dez when Dez was losing to us every week.

00:14:04.551 --> 00:14:11.149
So you know, now they're kind of looking like themselves and there's a chance they might get back into the playoff race.

00:14:11.149 --> 00:14:12.826
So that's why I've got Tua.

00:14:12.826 --> 00:14:17.652
I know that's a controversial one, but I've got Tua from the value that he's bringing All right.

00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.280
Number two I've got Saquon Barkley there.

00:14:21.280 --> 00:14:22.602
He's new on my list.

00:14:22.602 --> 00:14:29.904
I had Derrick Henry on my list a couple weeks ago, but I've had to go ahead and put Saquon in that spot.

00:14:29.904 --> 00:14:32.741
Self-explanatory, he's playing great.

00:14:32.741 --> 00:14:38.447
They look like a totally different team based on where they were at the end of last season to now.

00:14:38.447 --> 00:14:44.886
So it's looking good, can't wait to see that showdown with the Ravens and number one still, like I had two weeks ago, I've got Josh Allen.

00:14:44.886 --> 00:14:47.010
Uh, playing, playing, great.

00:14:47.010 --> 00:14:53.587
I feel that the Bills are the best team in the AFC, as I've been saying for a while yeah, I think they're best.

00:14:53.788 --> 00:15:11.868
Of course the Chiefs got the rest, but yeah, best peer team in the NFL uh, yeah, now, diego, I think, because we know how you hold grudges, I think you're going to be more on this Chiefs-Refs thing based on the Panthers losing to them, I think that's going to add.

00:15:11.980 --> 00:15:13.886
Go ahead and add to that grudge there.

00:15:13.886 --> 00:15:17.445
All right, thanks for all the comments too.

00:15:17.445 --> 00:15:18.489
Love the comments there.

00:15:18.489 --> 00:15:21.830
I think that concludes our MVP.

00:15:21.830 --> 00:15:24.823
Let us know who your MVP is right now.

00:15:24.823 --> 00:15:29.207
We know that's a fluid list, but that's a very fun discussion to talk about as we go.

00:15:29.207 --> 00:15:34.225
We still have about five weeks left, all right, well, let's move on to the next topic.

00:15:34.225 --> 00:15:36.552
We've got the Washington commanders.

00:15:36.552 --> 00:15:37.780
Ooh we.

00:15:37.780 --> 00:15:47.582
When a couple of weeks into the season, everyone was saying Jayden Daniels should have been the number one pick, he looked like they were even putting him in the mvp.

00:15:47.582 --> 00:15:51.510
Uh, consideration, uh, we're looking fantastic.

00:15:51.510 --> 00:16:02.029
And then when they had that hail mary to beat the bears, it still didn't raise a lot of eyebrows as far as the commander slipping it just raised the legend of jayden daniels even more.

00:16:02.029 --> 00:16:04.576
He's in the hall of fame he's got that.

00:16:04.778 --> 00:16:07.143
That's the memorial in the hall of fame that's right.

00:16:07.784 --> 00:16:09.928
But now you know the.

00:16:09.928 --> 00:16:17.913
The losses seem that they're stacking on top of each other a little bit and I'm wondering diego has of course not us, we would never overreact.

00:16:17.913 --> 00:16:22.230
So I know we didn't overreact on this, but did everybody else overreact on?

00:16:22.269 --> 00:16:22.730
this.

00:16:22.730 --> 00:16:24.724
People overreact, especially my Commander.

00:16:24.724 --> 00:16:26.269
Fans Shout out to Kingston.

00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:28.145
Kingston, chivin, all of them.

00:16:28.145 --> 00:16:29.926
Yeah, they definitely overreacted.

00:16:31.202 --> 00:16:33.309
Yeah, so they lost.

00:16:33.309 --> 00:16:39.067
Of course they won to the Bears, but they needed the Hail Mary and the Bears aren't really a great team.

00:16:39.900 --> 00:16:48.590
And of course, losing to the Cowboys and I forget who else they lose to but the Cowboys, and I forget who else they lose to the Cowboys Just the Cowboys At home Losing three in a row.

00:16:48.630 --> 00:17:04.211
I think, yeah, yeah, that's bad, y'all that's bad, you know, and it's funny because I was in a meeting a couple weeks ago with some Commander fans and they were just so happy, Like man, we're just happy that we're relevant again, and just the excitement was through the roof.

00:17:04.211 --> 00:17:07.779
And now I'm sure that's starting to kind of come down a little bit.

00:17:07.779 --> 00:17:13.207
But follow-up question and we've got to get Bree's take on this Will the Commanders make the playoffs.

00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.310
I still think they will because their schedule is still pretty light.

00:17:17.310 --> 00:17:19.845
They got that game against the Eagles.

00:17:19.845 --> 00:17:21.108
That's going to be tough.

00:17:21.108 --> 00:17:31.710
All the other games you got the titans, the cowboys again, um, yeah, yeah, I still think they'll slip in okay, I still think they slip in.

00:17:31.769 --> 00:17:33.201
Okay, brie, how about you did?

00:17:33.201 --> 00:17:34.123
Of course not us.

00:17:34.123 --> 00:17:38.400
We know you didn't overreact, but did the rest of the world overreact on the commanders?

00:17:40.481 --> 00:17:56.017
um, yeah, I do, because they haven't beat the Ravens or the Eagles or, you know, the Steelers or any of those teams, and so I feel like if they did beat any of those teams, then they probably would have stayed more relevant, because it shows that they're good enough to beat those good teams.

00:17:57.382 --> 00:18:01.251
Okay, so will they make the playoffs.

00:18:02.760 --> 00:18:08.540
Um, I think it's gonna be close if they do, but right now I'm saying no okay, you're saying no.

00:18:08.942 --> 00:18:14.721
Yeah, brie, I agree with you, um, and if the season ended today, I believe they would be in the playoffs.

00:18:14.721 --> 00:18:21.182
However, if you look at their schedule, although it's not super, super strong, I think they've lost a lot of momentum.

00:18:21.182 --> 00:18:25.852
I think other teams are seeing the formula to beat them.

00:18:25.852 --> 00:18:31.030
And another thing here you'll be able to speak to this their coordinator.

00:18:31.030 --> 00:18:40.232
The offensive coordinator for them happens to be Kingsbury Natural light guy in Arizona.

00:18:40.232 --> 00:18:52.586
Looks like he had a really nice place there in Arizona, but now he's the offensive coordinator and he has a history of starting out strong, starting out fast and then kind of fades to the end.

00:18:52.586 --> 00:19:02.753
As I know you can speak to, probably better than anybody, so I think that that is also a concern with them right now is other teams kind of, you know, knowing the playbook?

00:19:02.814 --> 00:19:03.034
on them?

00:19:03.034 --> 00:19:04.163
I think so At least.

00:19:04.163 --> 00:19:06.450
The good news is they got the Titans next week.

00:19:06.450 --> 00:19:07.819
Yeah, yeah.

00:19:08.301 --> 00:19:09.547
That should be easy for them.

00:19:11.340 --> 00:19:13.307
Perfect bounce back game, all right.

00:19:13.307 --> 00:19:16.126
Yes, perfect bounce back game, all right, okay.

00:19:16.126 --> 00:19:17.039
So we touched on that.

00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:23.608
So let's move on to our next topic, because we want to get to these picks here soon and see what else we can raise here.

00:19:23.608 --> 00:19:29.346
But QB to these picks here soon and see what, uh, what else we can raise here.

00:19:29.346 --> 00:19:30.068
But qb draft do over, okay.

00:19:30.068 --> 00:19:31.954
Um, first with the qbs, because we've got, you know, bo nicks playing great.

00:19:31.954 --> 00:19:34.000
Jane daniels was up slipping a little bit.

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:44.624
Caleb has had a couple of strong games but, with all the hype that he came in with, definitely doesn't look like he's played up to what people thought he would play at.

00:19:44.624 --> 00:19:46.965
Thanks for the comment, brandon, on that.

00:19:46.965 --> 00:19:51.830
But who, diego, is playing the best?

00:19:51.830 --> 00:19:57.576
And then, who would you draft number one right now if you had a draft do over?

00:19:57.576 --> 00:19:59.237
So why don't you answer both of those four?

00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:03.105
I still think Jay and Daniel's playing the best.

00:20:03.125 --> 00:20:10.038
Well, not over the last, like three weeks but if you go over the whole, season I think you say jayden, because, uh, of how bad they were the year before.

00:20:10.038 --> 00:20:15.316
They're four and 13, 4 and 13 or 3 and 14 or something like that in some of that realm.

00:20:15.316 --> 00:20:25.267
But now being seven and five and then contending for a playoff spot and really him being the only offensive piece they added, is pretty big, yeah.

00:20:25.267 --> 00:20:35.968
So, uh, yeah, I think his, how valuable he is, uh, that definitely makes him the best qb and the uh guy draft number one again okay and you would draft number one.

00:20:36.048 --> 00:20:37.211
Okay, now, who?

00:20:37.211 --> 00:20:42.383
Who did you think should have been drafted number one, like before, if you were to go back, did?

00:20:42.403 --> 00:20:43.986
you have a thought said caleb.

00:20:44.006 --> 00:20:45.347
You said caleb, okay, okay.

00:20:45.347 --> 00:20:49.353
So, based on what you've seen, you would, you would draft jay okay all right.

00:20:49.353 --> 00:20:51.500
Okay, let's say how about you, brie?

00:20:53.704 --> 00:20:54.065
yeah.

00:20:54.065 --> 00:20:58.152
So I think I think bo nicks is playing really well.

00:20:58.152 --> 00:21:00.840
He already has 16 touchdowns for a rookie.

00:21:00.840 --> 00:21:02.265
I feel like that's pretty good.

00:21:02.265 --> 00:21:10.332
He has over 2,000 yards also and his completion rate is really good, but I still think Jaden Daniels wins.

00:21:10.332 --> 00:21:16.188
Jaden Daniels has less touchdowns but he has a better completion rate and he has better yards.

00:21:16.188 --> 00:21:21.326
So I think Jaden Daniels is definitely playing the best and I think I'd pick him first on the draft.

00:21:21.646 --> 00:21:22.609
Pick him first in the draft.

00:21:22.609 --> 00:21:31.932
Okay, and before the draft happened, do you remember who you had then as as your number one qb coming in?

00:21:31.932 --> 00:21:33.000
Who would you have drafted?

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.448
Oh okay, you were dating back then.

00:21:36.448 --> 00:21:44.775
All right, yeah, so not not many were saying I mean, there were some, he definitely had a big following, but the consensus was definitely caleb.

00:21:44.775 --> 00:21:52.192
And I know I was saying caleb, um, you know, before the draft, um, man, that that's so tough.

00:21:52.471 --> 00:21:58.789
I I would say I'm gonna go ahead and say nicks has played the best.

00:21:58.789 --> 00:22:01.780
Now, a lot of that, I feel, is due to sean payton.

00:22:01.780 --> 00:22:04.167
Um, it's just the perfect fit.

00:22:04.167 --> 00:22:05.612
Sean Payton clearly wanted him.

00:22:05.612 --> 00:22:14.971
Bo Nix has more experience and has played well, especially as the season has gone on.

00:22:14.971 --> 00:22:16.413
So I'm going to go Bo Nix.

00:22:16.921 --> 00:22:21.992
As far as who I draft, I'm going to still say Caleb.

00:22:21.992 --> 00:22:25.430
I would still, today, probably go Caleb.

00:22:25.430 --> 00:22:30.607
I worry about Jaden Daniels.

00:22:30.607 --> 00:22:33.012
Staying healthy is my only concern with him.

00:22:33.012 --> 00:22:38.632
He's a little thin, he's already had the rib injury and whatnot.

00:22:38.632 --> 00:22:41.346
So I would still probably go Caleb.

00:22:41.346 --> 00:22:49.164
But that's not a very I'm not saying that boldly, but that's who I would go with right now.

00:22:49.645 --> 00:22:51.269
All right, okay, all right.

00:22:51.269 --> 00:22:56.108
Well, let us know who you would pick right now in the draft, uh, for QBs.

00:22:56.108 --> 00:22:59.201
We'd love to get your takes on that and, uh, let us know.

00:22:59.201 --> 00:23:02.867
All right, so let's get into, uh, week 13.

00:23:02.867 --> 00:23:04.911
So we have again.

00:23:04.911 --> 00:23:11.451
We have 16 games this week, but there's 11 that we agree on and then five that we disagree.

00:23:11.451 --> 00:23:14.009
We like to affectionately call those our island games.

00:23:14.009 --> 00:23:16.208
All right, so we'll get into those.

00:23:16.208 --> 00:23:21.786
Brandon said Broncos currently a wild card team as well, and trust them enough to win a playoff game.

00:23:21.786 --> 00:23:22.970
Okay, all right, brandon.

00:23:22.970 --> 00:23:24.403
Yeah, we'll see.

00:23:24.403 --> 00:23:26.068
And trust them enough to win a playoff game.

00:23:26.068 --> 00:23:26.810
Okay, all right, brandon.

00:23:26.810 --> 00:23:27.353
Yeah, we'll see.

00:23:27.353 --> 00:23:28.938
I don't know about that.

00:23:28.938 --> 00:23:33.258
It's going to be a fight for that last spot or two, because you've got some AFC teams ascending.

00:23:33.258 --> 00:23:33.680
They're coming in.

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.611
I mean, if the Bengals win this week, they'll have a sliver of hope.

00:23:37.611 --> 00:23:41.145
You know, you've got Dolph, it's going to be interesting.

00:23:41.820 --> 00:23:45.651
But the Broncos have that cushion, so it'll be interesting to see.

00:23:45.651 --> 00:23:49.958
But Diego, kick us off, man with our no-brainers who we got, All right.

00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:53.988
We got the game today Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions.

00:23:53.988 --> 00:23:56.488
Detroit Lions 10-point favorite.

00:23:56.488 --> 00:23:59.726
We all got Detroit in this one 10-point favorite.

00:23:59.726 --> 00:24:04.489
Bears are kind of slipping right now and Detroit they're looking like the best team in the league.

00:24:04.489 --> 00:24:05.911
So yeah, we got them.

00:24:06.112 --> 00:24:07.374
They're definitely looking like that.

00:24:07.374 --> 00:24:11.365
Now do they cover?

00:24:12.009 --> 00:24:12.230
the spread.

00:24:12.230 --> 00:24:13.576
That's me, yeah.

00:24:13.576 --> 00:24:15.119
I actually don't think so.

00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:16.303
I don't think so.

00:24:16.303 --> 00:24:26.028
I think, since the way the bears are kind of trending right now uh-huh, uh, losing all these close games I think they're gonna lose another close one, probably by three or or maybe even like one.

00:24:26.028 --> 00:24:28.876
Something really really close game comes down to the wire.

00:24:28.876 --> 00:24:30.019
Okay, what?

00:24:30.058 --> 00:24:32.484
what do you think about the covering the spread, brie?

00:24:33.446 --> 00:24:35.097
yeah, I think it's pretty accurate.

00:24:35.097 --> 00:24:38.646
I think the lions are still going to win by like a lot maybe.

00:24:38.974 --> 00:24:43.267
So maybe probably, I think All right, all right, all right, I like that.

00:24:43.267 --> 00:24:48.307
So for this game, we'll put a little something on this by this being the first game off the bat.

00:24:48.307 --> 00:24:52.645
So we're already at two for our cause.

00:24:52.645 --> 00:24:55.784
If the Lions win, that's an extra 50.

00:24:55.784 --> 00:24:59.304
Okay, so that should be easy money.

00:24:59.304 --> 00:25:02.682
But if they cover the spread, that's another 50.

00:25:02.682 --> 00:25:03.886
That's a 50-point bonus.

00:25:03.886 --> 00:25:07.045
So we could be up to three based on this Lions game.

00:25:07.045 --> 00:25:10.702
So, off the bat, we'll know where we are with that, all right.

00:25:10.702 --> 00:25:12.066
Okay, what's the next?

00:25:12.125 --> 00:25:12.847
one, All right.

00:25:12.847 --> 00:25:21.121
Next game we got the Giants going to Dallas to play the Cowboys also today and we all got the Cowboys in this one.

00:25:21.201 --> 00:25:21.761
Yeah, we do.

00:25:21.761 --> 00:25:23.307
We all got the Cowboys, we all have Cowboys.

00:25:23.494 --> 00:25:28.464
This is a rare occasion and yeah, I mean they do seem to play well on Thanksgiving.

00:25:28.464 --> 00:25:35.108
And the Giants they're 2-9, and they don't have Daniel, jones or DeVito their backup.

00:25:35.108 --> 00:25:41.152
So it's going to be really rough for them, jones or DeVito their backup, so it's going to be really rough for them and, yeah, I think the Cowboys win this one.

00:25:41.172 --> 00:25:42.015
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:42.015 --> 00:25:45.583
Both teams aren't very good right now, so yeah.

00:25:46.464 --> 00:25:47.567
Yeah, it's tough.

00:25:47.567 --> 00:25:51.425
I think Cooper rushes finding his form a little bit.

00:25:51.425 --> 00:25:54.846
He was definitely rusty when he first you know he hadn't played in a while.

00:25:54.846 --> 00:25:56.155
He admitted that.

00:25:56.155 --> 00:26:02.183
So, and as long as CD Lamb is still there, the Giants are just in a total free fall.

00:26:02.183 --> 00:26:08.631
They should be bad enough to where the Cowboys are able to get this one at home.

00:26:08.631 --> 00:26:13.506
Might be one of their last wins here.

00:26:16.115 --> 00:26:17.396
Perfect Thanksgiving game for them.

00:26:17.396 --> 00:26:18.398
