Picks man and I'm just going to beat you down, like I always do, Diego.

00:00:47.046 --> 00:00:48.969
No, no, no, Definitely not beating me down.

00:00:48.969 --> 00:00:50.070
How about that Super Bowl?

00:00:50.109 --> 00:00:50.470
last year.

00:00:50.470 --> 00:00:52.652
Yeah, well, you know what you got lucky?

00:00:52.853 --> 00:00:55.335
You got lucky oh like the last three years OK.

00:00:55.396 --> 00:00:57.164
Yeah, yeah, you got lucky three years in a row.

00:00:57.164 --> 00:01:01.326
Ok, all right, father-son dynamic duo.

00:01:01.326 --> 00:01:11.313
We also have 12-year NFL veteran Desmond Clark joining us, so he will be joining us later and joins us for every show of who you Got All right.

00:01:11.313 --> 00:01:14.448
Well, hey, man, let's get on into it.

00:01:14.448 --> 00:01:20.307
Man, first, we had the game last night that you and I picked correctly, so we're going to start off on that.

00:01:20.307 --> 00:01:21.807
We had the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:01:21.807 --> 00:01:26.941
They beat the Pack packers, man, they beat the packers.

00:01:26.941 --> 00:01:28.344
So you got it right.

00:01:28.665 --> 00:01:36.754
Yeah and uh, somebody got it wrong yeah, yeah, I think that was des clark, yeah okay, yeah, that's got that wrong.

00:01:36.775 --> 00:01:37.516
That's got that wrong.

00:01:37.516 --> 00:01:41.114
He may or may not have gotten the pick thursday, right, but we'll get to that later.

00:01:41.114 --> 00:01:42.019
Yeah, we'll get to that later.

00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:47.992
Yeah well, hey, man, why don't you go ahead and give us your recap on the Eagles-Packers game last night?

00:01:48.012 --> 00:01:48.694
All right.

00:01:48.694 --> 00:01:57.347
So the Eagles, their offense, played really well Saquon with his three touchdowns, aj Smith, aj Brown, devontae Smith.

00:01:57.347 --> 00:01:58.210
They all played well.

00:02:05.900 --> 00:02:08.134
Their defense still looks a little bad, but I'm still confident in their offense and for them to win the division, yeah.

00:02:08.134 --> 00:02:08.590
So you still have them winning the division.

00:02:08.590 --> 00:02:09.395
Yes, definitely still have them winning the division, okay, okay.

00:02:09.395 --> 00:02:12.066
Well, you know we have a lot of Dallas Cowboy fans in the crowd right now.

00:02:12.608 --> 00:02:12.989
Yeah.

00:02:16.122 --> 00:02:18.149
I hear some cheers and boos on that.

00:02:18.149 --> 00:02:20.628
So that's a polarizing team.

00:02:20.628 --> 00:02:23.371
That's a polarizing team for sure, all right.

00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:26.305
Well, hey, what about Saquon Barkley?

00:02:26.305 --> 00:02:27.734
Yeah, this three touchdown, those were huge.

00:02:27.734 --> 00:02:31.349
Yeah, he looks like he's fitting really good in the Eagles offense.

00:02:31.349 --> 00:02:33.326
So yeah, big addition for them.

00:02:34.402 --> 00:02:35.647
Yeah, he started off great man.

00:02:35.647 --> 00:02:37.479
Three touchdowns in that first game.

00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:46.981
If you picked him up for your fantasy football squad, like I did, you're sitting pretty right now, so he definitely lot like I did.

00:02:46.981 --> 00:02:49.127
Uh, you're sitting pretty right now, so you definitely had a had a great start, for sure, for sure.

00:02:49.127 --> 00:02:54.602
So the Packers outlook um, you know, jordan Love got hurt, so we don't know the severity of that.

00:02:55.043 --> 00:02:57.549
He announced that he's out three to six weeks.

00:02:57.588 --> 00:03:00.163
Three to six, okay so we kind of dodged a bullet with that.

00:03:00.163 --> 00:03:03.360
So we didn't know if he was going to be out for the year three to six weeks.

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.150
So with him being out three to six weeks, what's the outlook for the green bay packers?

00:03:09.051 --> 00:03:10.340
uh, well, it's gonna be tough for them.

00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:17.121
Uh, jordan, he was a big part of their offense, of course being the qb, but uh, jayden reed looked good.

00:03:17.121 --> 00:03:22.449
Uh, christian watson looked good, josh jacobs had a good game, so, uh, I think they're gonna be.

00:03:22.449 --> 00:03:24.572
I think they're gonna be okay once they get jordan love back.

00:03:24.853 --> 00:03:27.296
Make a playoff push now you mentioned a receiver.

00:03:27.296 --> 00:03:34.838
I believe that was jayden reed yes, jayden reed okay now, I think somebody had him rated pretty highly on their fantasy.

00:03:34.838 --> 00:03:38.949
I think somebody had him in their top 20 fantasy rankings a couple weeks ago.

00:03:38.949 --> 00:03:39.790
Do you know who that was?

00:03:40.231 --> 00:03:41.320
I can't remember who that was.

00:03:41.320 --> 00:03:42.201
You can't remember who that was.

00:03:42.201 --> 00:03:43.043
Okay, you can't remember who that was.

00:03:43.043 --> 00:03:43.723
It's just one game, well, you?

00:03:43.743 --> 00:03:44.084
know what?

00:03:44.084 --> 00:03:44.884
I'll jog your memory.

00:03:44.884 --> 00:03:51.793
I had Jaden Reed in my top 20 fantasy wide receivers, so I told y'all he was a must pick up.

00:03:52.173 --> 00:03:53.334
Okay, it's one game.

00:03:53.334 --> 00:03:53.974
It's one game.

00:03:53.974 --> 00:03:54.536
There's 17 left.

00:03:54.536 --> 00:03:55.437
Oh, so now it's one game, okay.

00:04:02.510 --> 00:04:05.480
Well, he's going in anybody's league now are the ravens gonna keep losing?

00:04:06.301 --> 00:04:06.682
what's that?

00:04:06.682 --> 00:04:08.105
Are the ravens gonna keep losing?

00:04:09.830 --> 00:04:10.692
I don't know about that.

00:04:10.692 --> 00:04:12.741
A little about that, okay.

00:04:12.741 --> 00:04:14.545
So what about the philadelphia eagles?

00:04:14.545 --> 00:04:16.149
Um, what's the outlook?

00:04:16.209 --> 00:04:16.651
for them.

00:04:16.651 --> 00:04:23.264
Oh well, yeah, they look good in their game uh, like I said earlier I, think they're I feel confident about them winning the division winning the vision.

00:04:23.283 --> 00:04:24.425
are they going any further than that?

00:04:24.425 --> 00:04:26.892
I don't know about that, okay.

00:04:27.341 --> 00:04:28.406
They might win a playoff game.

00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:31.245
So who's coming out of the NFC overall?

00:04:31.245 --> 00:04:32.067
The Lions?

00:04:32.067 --> 00:04:32.848
Who's going to the Super Bowl?

00:04:32.848 --> 00:04:33.088
Who?

00:04:33.088 --> 00:04:33.810
The Lions?

00:04:33.810 --> 00:04:36.233
The Detroit Lions, yes, okay.

00:04:36.233 --> 00:04:38.228
Do we have any Detroit Lions fans in the building?

00:04:38.228 --> 00:04:40.942
I'm not hearing anything.

00:04:40.961 --> 00:04:41.704
I'm not hearing, not hearing.

00:04:41.704 --> 00:04:42.384
Anything Not hearing anything.

00:04:42.425 --> 00:04:42.706
No Lions fans.

00:04:42.706 --> 00:04:43.127
I thought we had.

00:04:43.127 --> 00:04:45.029
We don't have any Detroit Lions fans in the building.

00:04:45.029 --> 00:04:46.612
Okay, I thought so.

00:04:46.612 --> 00:04:47.033
I thought so.

00:04:47.033 --> 00:04:49.588
Diego, just picked them to go to the Super Bowl.

00:04:49.588 --> 00:04:51.826
You haven't won in the Super Bowl, no, no.

00:04:52.108 --> 00:04:52.589
No, okay.

00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.129
Well, I haven't won in the Super Bowl, oh yeah.

00:04:58.324 --> 00:05:01.507
They're going, all the way You're going to All right.

00:05:01.889 --> 00:05:04.391
Well, hey, I guess we have to transition man.

00:05:04.391 --> 00:05:10.879
I don't really want to, but we have to transition to the Kansas City Chiefs Baltimore Raven game on Thursday.

00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.168
That started off the NFL season.

00:05:14.168 --> 00:05:16.173
Man, so happy the NFL is back.

00:05:16.173 --> 00:05:22.773
Patrick Mahomes, kelsey Lamar it just shattered, you know, ratings records the other night.

00:05:22.773 --> 00:05:26.966
Desmond Clark did get that one right, so he is a pick-em pro for a reason.

00:05:26.966 --> 00:05:32.601
So he did get that one right, although we were close man, because if that toe it was like the Kevin.

00:05:32.622 --> 00:05:37.288
Durant's, if that toe was not on the line, we would have won, that you know.

00:05:37.288 --> 00:05:39.569
But hey, give us your recap on that game.

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:41.726
Well, the Chiefs looking good.

00:05:41.726 --> 00:05:46.788
They took the first game seriously, unlike last year.

00:05:46.788 --> 00:05:47.997
Xavier Worthy looked good with his two touchdowns.

00:05:47.997 --> 00:05:52.230
Their offense looks like it's firing, so that's good for them.

00:05:52.230 --> 00:05:56.130
And the Ravens they looked good for the game.

00:05:56.130 --> 00:05:57.285
They almost had it.

00:05:57.285 --> 00:06:00.350
That was a tough game to win, but they almost had it.

00:06:00.350 --> 00:06:00.901
In.

00:06:00.901 --> 00:06:01.362
Arrowhead.

00:06:01.362 --> 00:06:02.687
That's a tough environment to play in.

00:06:03.288 --> 00:06:04.060
It was Now.

00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:04.723
What about?

00:06:04.723 --> 00:06:06.322
Um, what about lamar jackson?

00:06:06.322 --> 00:06:07.966
So lamar jackson ran a lot.

00:06:07.966 --> 00:06:09.730
I believe he got over 100 yards.

00:06:09.730 --> 00:06:13.526
I think he's third in all time rushing for quarterbacks already which?

00:06:13.605 --> 00:06:17.523
is just insane with where he is right now in his career to be third.

00:06:17.523 --> 00:06:21.392
Uh, you know who's number one all time cam is it cam?

00:06:21.392 --> 00:06:35.555
No, no michael vick yeah michael vick's number one, all time Russian for QBs, but Cam Newton's number two, cam Newton's number two and right now Lamar's number three, but it looks like Lamar's going to shatter that soon, because he's not.

00:06:35.555 --> 00:06:36.439
He's not too far behind.

00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:37.824
But there are questions.

00:06:37.824 --> 00:06:38.526
The O-line.

00:06:38.526 --> 00:06:40.391
The O-line had a lot of penalties in that game.

00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:48.882
So I can't blame him for running around.

00:06:48.882 --> 00:06:49.867
So okay, so can he sustain that level of running?

00:06:49.867 --> 00:06:50.389
So how do you feel about?

00:06:50.408 --> 00:06:50.990
how much he ran in that game.

00:06:50.990 --> 00:06:52.336
I think I think he can sustain it.

00:06:52.336 --> 00:06:53.379
I think he can.

00:06:53.379 --> 00:07:00.384
But for them to go to the sewer bowl and win it, the o-line is gonna have to clean those penalties up okay, okay.

00:07:00.805 --> 00:07:02.149
So hey, we've got a question.

00:07:02.149 --> 00:07:05.738
We we got a question from online for you, diego.

00:07:05.738 --> 00:07:07.966
Specifically, how do you think Zay Flowers?

00:07:08.026 --> 00:07:08.769
is going to do this year.

00:07:08.769 --> 00:07:10.944
I think Zay Flowers is going to have a big year.

00:07:10.944 --> 00:07:13.451
He had a lot of catches in the last game.

00:07:13.451 --> 00:07:15.283
Only had 37 yards.

00:07:15.283 --> 00:07:17.370
Had like eight catches to go along with it.

00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:24.074
Lamar missed Zay in the end zone, but I think I think Zay is going to have a big year.

00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:26.142
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that.

00:07:26.142 --> 00:07:27.769
You know the question question was directed to you, you know.

00:07:27.769 --> 00:07:29.720
So you just, but I'm gonna chime in on that as well.

00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:36.543
I pick, I pick zay up in pretty much every fantasy league that I have so I'm definitely one league I'm definitely high on zay.

00:07:36.543 --> 00:07:42.264
I might be a little too high on zay flowers, but I think he has a big year for sure yeah yeah, yeah, thanks for the question.

00:07:42.264 --> 00:07:45.329
Appreciate that that for sure, derek Henry.

00:07:45.329 --> 00:07:46.490
So how did?

00:07:46.490 --> 00:07:47.872
How did Derek Henry look in that?

00:07:47.913 --> 00:07:49.721
backfield man with the Ravens, Derek Henry.

00:07:49.721 --> 00:07:50.442
He looked good.

00:07:50.442 --> 00:07:55.944
He had that touchdown Only, had only had about four yards to carry, but he looked good.

00:07:55.944 --> 00:07:56.846
He looked good yeah.

00:07:56.927 --> 00:07:57.589
Yeah, he looked good.

00:07:57.589 --> 00:08:02.663
But I was surprised, you know, in the second quarter, as they were driving, he was on the bed.

00:08:02.663 --> 00:08:02.963
I was.

00:08:02.963 --> 00:08:06.487
I was worried actually, because I watched the replay of the game.

00:08:06.487 --> 00:08:12.831
But when I tuned in, I tuned into the second quarter and I saw the backup in there and I didn't see Derrick Henry at all.

00:08:12.831 --> 00:08:18.355
And I picked up Derrick Henry in one of my other leagues early and I was like, oh man, is he hurt?

00:08:18.355 --> 00:08:19.877
Don't tell me he's hurt already.

00:08:19.877 --> 00:08:23.480
So they clearly are trying to save him.

00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.326
He's had a lot of carries through his career and it looks like they're trying to save him for the playoffs.

00:08:27.367 --> 00:08:29.129
Yeah, I like that strategy.

00:08:29.129 --> 00:08:30.831
See, he's going to be a beast in the playoffs.

00:08:31.413 --> 00:08:32.654
Yeah for sure, for sure.

00:08:32.654 --> 00:08:36.105
Ok, now what about for the Kansas City Chiefs?

00:08:36.105 --> 00:08:37.409
Let's talk about them for a bit.

00:08:37.409 --> 00:08:39.783
And then we've got a special guest here.

00:08:39.783 --> 00:08:45.173
We've got a gentleman who says he's going to be the next Stephen A Smith.

00:08:45.173 --> 00:08:51.200
He might even be better than Stephen A Smith, so I want you to show him a lot of love when he comes on in just a second here.

00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:58.690
But we're going to talk about the Kansas City Chiefs and, if they can, three-peat, so we're excited to have you on Christopher Davis here in a second.

00:08:58.690 --> 00:09:04.388
But let's talk about Xavier Worthy and the impact that he has made for the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:09:04.908 --> 00:09:06.471
Yeah, he's making a big impact.

00:09:06.471 --> 00:09:19.828
He scored two touchdowns yesterday, one rushing, one receiving, so he's going to make a big impact on offense and why they're going to win another Super Bowl, okay, okay, so we already know where you feel how

00:09:19.849 --> 00:09:24.927
you feel about that about the Kansas City Chiefs, okay, well, hey, I'll tell you what.

00:09:24.927 --> 00:09:29.657
Let's go ahead and bring the next Stephen A Smith up here in just a second.

00:09:29.657 --> 00:09:36.380
We're going to take a quick 30-second commercial break and then we're going to bring you a bright young star in just one second.

00:09:36.380 --> 00:09:37.967
We will be right back.

00:09:37.967 --> 00:10:11.316
Give us 30 seconds, thank you.

00:10:11.316 --> 00:10:13.197
All right, we are back, we're back.

00:10:13.197 --> 00:10:15.957
Thanks for letting us have that quick 30 second break.

00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.163
You know part of Pick'em Pros, man.

00:10:18.163 --> 00:10:30.206
One of the great things about our show is that we love to engage with our subscribers, with the people that are out there Many people you know you can call in, but the great thing about our show is you can actually come on and be on our show.

00:10:30.206 --> 00:10:31.149
You know what I mean.

00:10:31.149 --> 00:10:32.225
So that's what we love to do.

00:10:32.225 --> 00:10:35.586
So, all the fans out there, we appreciate your love and support.

00:10:35.586 --> 00:10:42.101
So we have Mr Christopher Davis here, who is a sports guru, got a ton of knowledge.

00:10:42.101 --> 00:10:45.750
Man, I'm really impressed by all that you have to offer.

00:10:45.750 --> 00:10:46.572
Look out for him.

00:10:46.572 --> 00:10:51.700
He's got a great, great podcast that I want him to tell you about that he's going to come out with soon.

00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:54.347
But first let's talk about the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:10:54.347 --> 00:10:58.690
Okay, tell us, are the Kansas City Chiefs going to three-peat this year?

00:10:59.259 --> 00:11:01.120
Well, I think it's highly likely, guys.

00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.042
I'm not going to lie.

00:11:02.042 --> 00:11:07.144
However, my dark horse team that I believe can upset them is the Houston Texans.

00:11:07.144 --> 00:11:15.590
Now, if you see the talent they have at receiver, the defensive additions they have, I really believe that they can truly make a run.

00:11:15.590 --> 00:11:19.451
Now, baltimore did give them their best shot and I understand it is a regular season.

00:11:19.451 --> 00:11:22.374
I believe Baltimore still has a chance to upset the Chiefs as well.

00:11:22.374 --> 00:11:28.298
However, we see how dominant they are and it's basically the arrowhead invitation when it comes to the AFC Championship.

00:11:28.298 --> 00:11:33.760
So you never know.

00:11:33.760 --> 00:11:34.744
But I truly believe that this is the Texans.

00:11:34.764 --> 00:11:35.807
Baltimore Ravens' best chance to upset the Chiefs.

00:11:35.807 --> 00:11:36.570
Okay, okay, I like that.

00:11:36.570 --> 00:11:37.231
I like that.

00:11:37.231 --> 00:11:38.856
What do you think, diego?

00:11:40.019 --> 00:11:41.761
Yeah, I like the Texans as a contender.

00:11:41.761 --> 00:11:45.726
I think they're going to have a big regular season, but I'm worried about them in the playoffs.

00:11:45.726 --> 00:11:49.150
I don't know if CJ is going to live up to expectations in the playoffs.

00:11:49.150 --> 00:11:50.913
But yeah, I got the Chiefs.

00:11:50.913 --> 00:11:52.916
As I said earlier, Okay, okay.

00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:02.230
So for those of you that may be new to Pick'em Pros here and new to myself, Diego, especially Diego and Desmond Clark.

00:12:02.230 --> 00:12:08.206
Diego is very high on the Carolina Panthers, so you'll hear about that later.

00:12:08.981 --> 00:12:09.605
As we all are.

00:12:09.605 --> 00:12:11.070
We all like the Carolina Panthers.

00:12:11.070 --> 00:12:18.788
They're coming to you from North Carolina, so we certainly have love for the hometown team, but Diego, maybe a little more than others.

00:12:18.788 --> 00:12:32.993
So I think I sense a little bit of salt in the wound when it comes to the CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans, because there's still a little bit of a controversy on if the Panthers made the right, the right selection there.

00:12:32.993 --> 00:12:33.721
Do I?

00:12:33.721 --> 00:12:35.629
Am I detecting that correctly, diego?

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:36.842
There's no controversy.

00:12:36.842 --> 00:12:39.270
Bryce is going to show this year why he's the better quarterback.

00:12:41.202 --> 00:12:43.066
OK, all right.

00:12:43.066 --> 00:12:44.990
Hey Chris, what do you think about that man?

00:12:45.009 --> 00:12:45.090
man.

00:12:45.090 --> 00:12:48.162
Honestly, this is the make or break a year for bryce young.

00:12:48.162 --> 00:12:51.336
I feel by year three if you're still looking for the guy.

00:12:51.336 --> 00:13:02.395
I don't know if he's going to be the guy, but this year, I believe, with the weapons, we got the addition of dave canales, who's approved quarterbacks, with a smaller stature like a baker mayfield, like a russell wilson.

00:13:02.395 --> 00:13:08.106
I truly believe that bryce young has the potential for a breakout and he's on my fantasy team so I hope he balls out this year, man.

00:13:09.309 --> 00:13:09.711
That's right.

00:13:09.711 --> 00:13:10.052
That's right.

00:13:10.052 --> 00:13:16.594
Well, I do have to say I am very impressed that Bryce Young just stayed upright last season.

00:13:16.594 --> 00:13:19.188
I mean, he did not have any protection at all.

00:13:19.188 --> 00:13:26.711
He hung in there and because the biggest knock on him it wasn't necessarily his skill set, it was is he big enough?

00:13:26.711 --> 00:13:30.210
And I think he certainly answered that question.

00:13:30.210 --> 00:13:31.806
So I feel really good about that.

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.609
So I do feel as much as I do like to mess with you.

00:13:34.609 --> 00:13:42.131
I do feel that he certainly has the talent and with the time, I think he can prove to be a top-tier quarterback.

00:13:42.131 --> 00:13:45.269
But hey, proof is in the pudding, so we're going to see.

00:13:45.269 --> 00:13:46.884
We're going to see what happens there.

00:13:46.884 --> 00:13:47.948
Okay, all right.

00:13:47.948 --> 00:13:50.446
Well, hey, chris man, before you go.

00:13:50.446 --> 00:13:59.668
So I know you told us about the AFC and that you know again, this is the best chance for the Houston Texans and, of course, for the Baltimore Ravens.

00:13:59.668 --> 00:14:01.341
But what about the NFC?

00:14:01.341 --> 00:14:04.222
Who do you have coming out of the NFC this year?

00:14:04.423 --> 00:14:07.585
I personally believe it will be the Lions and or the Eagles.

00:14:07.585 --> 00:14:16.530
I'm personally rooting for the Lions after the great season that they had this year, last year, I truly believe that they were battle tested.

00:14:16.530 --> 00:14:18.672
You know, they had San Francisco on the ropes.

00:14:18.672 --> 00:14:20.472
They didn't necessarily.

00:14:20.472 --> 00:14:22.553
They didn't necessarily.

00:14:22.553 --> 00:14:27.977
It felt like they were too young in the moment and they kind of the lights shined a little too bright on them.

00:14:27.977 --> 00:14:33.495
However, I believe that because of that battle test, they will be ready and that they will turn up this season.

00:14:33.495 --> 00:14:35.121
So I really believe in the Lions and the Eagles.

00:14:35.121 --> 00:14:36.408
I don't know if you saw last night.

00:14:36.408 --> 00:14:38.748
The Saquon Barkley addition is something special.

00:14:38.748 --> 00:14:40.426
I'm saying three touchdowns.

00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:46.265
It feels like when Christian McCaffrey went to San Francisco.

00:14:46.265 --> 00:14:46.828
That's how special it feels.

00:14:46.828 --> 00:14:49.099
So I believe it's a toss-up between the Lions and the Eagles Didn't feel that special.

00:14:49.119 --> 00:14:51.365
For me, that's a great analogy.

00:14:51.365 --> 00:14:52.509
That's a great analogy.

00:14:52.509 --> 00:14:54.225
Okay, oh, we have a question here.

00:14:54.225 --> 00:14:56.201
So let's see, we've got Hunter.

00:14:56.201 --> 00:14:59.392
Burgett said should I trade Kelsey and Fantasy?

00:14:59.392 --> 00:15:01.441
Wow, this is a great question, okay.

00:15:01.441 --> 00:15:02.322
So let's answer this one.

00:15:02.322 --> 00:15:03.206
Let's all kind of take this.

00:15:03.206 --> 00:15:05.130
So, hunter, thanks for your question.

00:15:05.130 --> 00:15:09.649
Sir, you said should I trade Kelsey and Fantasy with all the weapons on that offense?

00:15:09.649 --> 00:15:13.649
Well, man, I'll tell you what.

00:15:13.649 --> 00:15:15.278
Why don't you take that, diego?

00:15:17.063 --> 00:15:23.250
I mean, if you can get a steal for Kelsey, then you should do it, but I still think Kelsey is the number one option in the offense.

00:15:29.620 --> 00:15:30.423
So I wouldn't give him up for nothing.

00:15:30.423 --> 00:15:30.705
So, yeah, what?

00:15:30.705 --> 00:15:31.267
What do you think, chris?

00:15:31.267 --> 00:15:34.802
Despite xavier worthy looking absolutely amazing, I truly think that travis kelsey is still that bread and butter of that offense.

00:15:34.802 --> 00:15:35.966
He's all reliable.

00:15:35.966 --> 00:15:39.620
Patrick mahomes is going to get his targets up with him, so I really don't believe.

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:41.647
I believe this week was an aberration.

00:15:41.687 --> 00:15:45.717
He's going to be fine yeah okay, no, yeah, I, I agree with that.

00:15:45.717 --> 00:15:47.422
Um, I mean, he's still top tier.

00:15:47.422 --> 00:15:51.591
I mean, clearly, kelsey's best uh performance is going to be in the playoff.

00:15:51.591 --> 00:15:52.321
So we know that.

00:15:52.321 --> 00:15:54.725
We know, come playoff time he'll be ready.

00:15:54.725 --> 00:15:56.870
Um, is he what he once was?

00:15:56.870 --> 00:15:58.780
No, you know, has he lost a step?

00:15:58.780 --> 00:16:11.446
Yes, but he's still a top option and the benefit benefit of having Kelsey is that he's a red zone target, so he's going to catch touchdowns for you for sure he's going to get his numbers.

00:16:11.446 --> 00:16:14.710
He wants to justify the salary that he's getting.

00:16:14.710 --> 00:16:16.365
So I would hold on to him.

00:16:16.365 --> 00:16:21.827
Right now, again, his value is dipping, so now is not the time to get rid of him.

00:16:21.827 --> 00:16:30.106
Hang in there at least another week or so, because let me tell you, hunter, you're going to be very sad if you straight him this week and then, all of a sudden, he starts balling out.

00:16:30.761 --> 00:16:32.908
So you can't take too much from week one.

00:16:32.908 --> 00:16:34.304
So hang in there another week.

00:16:34.304 --> 00:16:35.825
All right, thanks for the question.

00:16:35.825 --> 00:16:39.049
Well, hey, Chris, man, pleasure to have you.

00:16:39.049 --> 00:16:42.947
Oh, hey, tell us about your new show that's coming out.

00:16:43.106 --> 00:16:43.427
All right.

00:16:43.427 --> 00:16:56.215
So coming out soon I already have the Instagram page for it, but coming out soon, my podcast, generational Debates, where I discuss music and sports between generations, will be coming out, hopefully beginning of October.

00:16:56.215 --> 00:17:03.572
I believe that this podcast will be a great way to bridge the gap between the old generation and new generation on sports and music.

00:17:03.572 --> 00:17:12.846
These are both my passions, these are both what I love to cover and I feel like sometimes we lean on either the old heads hating, or the young people like oh, people play with plumbers.

00:17:12.846 --> 00:17:19.144
I want to kind of provide a safe space for both people to just share their opinions and have good takes.

00:17:19.564 --> 00:17:20.045
I love that.

00:17:20.045 --> 00:17:20.644
I love that.

00:17:20.644 --> 00:17:21.665
Yeah, we need more, yes, yes, round of applause.

00:17:21.665 --> 00:17:22.906
We need more yes, yes, round of applause.

00:17:22.906 --> 00:17:27.869
We need more great, great content like that, and also to bridge the generation.

00:17:27.869 --> 00:17:28.530
So I love that.

00:17:28.530 --> 00:17:30.231
That's what we pride ourselves with.

00:17:30.231 --> 00:17:33.614
Pick'em Pros is by bringing you know all the generations together.

00:17:33.614 --> 00:17:35.776
So we love the fact that you're doing that.

00:17:35.776 --> 00:17:38.798
So we love to love to be on there at some point.

00:17:39.338 --> 00:17:42.424
Yes, sir, make sure you're the first guest, for sure, that's what I'm talking about.

00:17:42.444 --> 00:17:44.690
Thank you, Appreciate that All right man Much love.

00:17:44.690 --> 00:17:46.993
Big round of applause for Christopher Davis.

00:17:48.781 --> 00:17:49.163
Thank y'all.

00:17:49.545 --> 00:17:56.222
All right, we're going to take a quick 30-second break and then we'll be back for the duration of the show with our week one picks.

00:17:56.222 --> 00:17:57.150
You don't want to miss it?

00:17:57.150 --> 00:17:58.359
All right, let's go All right.

00:17:59.970 --> 00:18:40.057
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:18:40.057 --> 00:18:45.028
Hold on, all right, we are back.

00:18:45.028 --> 00:18:45.613
We are back.

00:18:45.613 --> 00:18:46.439
We are back.

00:18:46.439 --> 00:18:48.909
We're about to get into our week one picks.

00:18:48.909 --> 00:18:49.972
Y'all ready for these picks?

00:18:49.972 --> 00:18:52.965
All right, we're going to get into it.

00:18:52.965 --> 00:18:55.949
So, first, first, we're going to give you our no-brainers.

00:18:55.949 --> 00:18:57.144
Okay, so there were what?

00:18:57.144 --> 00:18:58.087
16 games this week?

00:18:58.087 --> 00:19:00.567
Right, everybody is playing in week one.

00:19:00.567 --> 00:19:01.891
Everybody is playing week one.

00:19:01.891 --> 00:19:04.930
So we already had two games, all right.

00:19:04.930 --> 00:19:06.346
So In week one, everybody's playing week one.

00:19:06.346 --> 00:19:07.333
So we already had two games, all right.

00:19:07.333 --> 00:19:21.883
So, total, we agreed on nine games, yep, so we called these no-brainers chain.

00:19:24.414 --> 00:19:29.314
What determine who's the winner between myself, mr desmond clark who you'll see in a little bit or diego?

00:19:29.314 --> 00:19:34.192
Now, one of the things about picking pros I haven't mentioned yet is that we don't just pick games.

00:19:34.192 --> 00:19:37.199
We also like to give back to the community through our picks.

00:19:37.199 --> 00:19:43.678
So we all pick for various causes and, depending on who wins, we, out of our own pocket, donate to a cause.

00:19:43.678 --> 00:19:44.780
Okay, so we're all playing.

00:19:44.780 --> 00:19:47.817
So Pick'em Pros this is our third season of who you Got.

00:19:47.817 --> 00:19:56.730
This is our third season and so far to date, we've donated over $10,000 to various causes in the community based on our picks.

00:19:56.730 --> 00:20:01.214
So we just want to put that out there, all right.

00:20:01.214 --> 00:20:06.180
So again you hear the name Pick'em Pros, you may think, okay, it's a sports betting gambling show.

00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:11.865
It's actually the opposite, although, hey, if you want to take our picks and do that, cool, because we are right more than we're wrong.

00:20:11.865 --> 00:20:18.215
However, the premise of it is to give back to the community and we play for different causes.

00:20:18.215 --> 00:20:19.598
So that's what picking pros is all about.

00:20:19.598 --> 00:20:20.820
All right, good deal.

00:20:20.921 --> 00:20:22.934
So hold on, we got a question here.

00:20:22.934 --> 00:20:26.559
Let's go ahead and take this question from Elijah Battle, who's actually here.

00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:27.413
So what's up?

00:20:27.413 --> 00:20:30.397
Elijah man Really excited about what we're going to be doing, sir.

00:20:30.397 --> 00:20:33.220
So thank you for coming out and bringing your lovely wife as well.

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:39.336
So Elijah asked what do you guys think about the new kickoff rule from the XFL being in the NFL?

00:20:39.336 --> 00:20:40.017
Why don't you?

00:20:40.136 --> 00:20:40.917
take that, diego.

00:20:40.917 --> 00:20:46.884
I haven't really got a chance to see it yet, honestly, but I think it's going to be cool.

00:20:46.884 --> 00:20:51.592
It's going to be different, have a few more kick returns.

00:20:51.592 --> 00:20:53.154
So, yeah, I think it's going to be cool.

00:20:53.154 --> 00:20:53.895
It's going to be cool.

00:20:54.477 --> 00:20:55.578
Yeah, I like it.

00:20:55.578 --> 00:20:58.344
I think they should move the ball back five more yards.

00:20:58.344 --> 00:21:01.078
I think they should move the ball back five more yards.

00:21:01.078 --> 00:21:01.643
I think they should do that.

00:21:01.643 --> 00:21:02.046
But I like the rule.

00:21:02.046 --> 00:21:02.589
I like the rule.

00:21:02.589 --> 00:21:09.798
But if they move the ball back five more yards, then I think they'll get more kick returns, and that was the whole point of what they wanted to do.

00:21:09.798 --> 00:21:11.436
So thank you for that question.

00:21:11.436 --> 00:21:13.763
We really appreciate that.

00:21:13.763 --> 00:21:20.355
All right, so here let me get hold on, Let me get our no-brainers here, All right?

00:21:20.355 --> 00:21:26.500
So those of you that are here, you can see on the screen, and those of you watching virtually, you can see our no-brainer picks here.

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:35.719
Diego man, let's go ahead and start one through nine and let's start with our no-brainer picks before we get to the games that we disagree on and talk a whole lot of smack.

00:21:35.719 --> 00:21:37.030
So what's the first?

00:21:37.050 --> 00:21:37.270
game.

00:21:37.270 --> 00:21:43.856
Our first no-brainer game is the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Atlanta Falcons, and we all have the Atlanta Falcons.

00:21:43.856 --> 00:21:45.938
Kirk Cousins' first game with the Falcons.

00:21:45.938 --> 00:21:49.401
The Falcons have the home field advantage, so it should be hype.

00:21:49.401 --> 00:21:51.262
So we all got the Falcons.

00:21:51.943 --> 00:21:53.565
Yeah, we have the Falcons in this one.

00:21:53.565 --> 00:21:54.846
The Falcons are the favorite.

00:21:54.846 --> 00:21:56.267
They're a three-and-a-half-point favorite.

00:21:56.267 --> 00:21:57.632
They're at home.

00:21:57.632 --> 00:22:00.279
I typically like to take, especially in week one.

00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:11.662
Again, there are a few exceptions to this, so I may contradict myself, but I like to take the home team a lot, especially early, because I think they have an even bigger advantage earlier in the season.

00:22:11.662 --> 00:22:14.923
