Subject to change. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome into the Winkler Verse. I'm Bart Winkler. Alongside is Ryan Horvat.
We've got picks for you this week. I was going through some of the picks that we did this season. I think we did like week three, week six, seven, eight. 11, 15, and now this one.
So, not consistent, but when we do do them, they're good.
So, thank you for. Being with us, uh Horvad, the um Introductory, how are you, friend? Yeah.
So Doing pretty good overall, except for last night, or I guess technically this morning, I haven't even told you the full story yet, but I wanted to tape something earlier so we would have more time. But I woke up. My wife and I woke up. Everybody in the house woke up. 4 a.m.
I would say. Like 408, to be exact. And it was like the movie Cloverfield, man. I thought we were being attacked by aliens because. I'm not even kidding here.
It's just. Sure. And like I see a bunch of sparks. And I'm like, what was that? And then I thought maybe I was just tripping.
And then it happened again. And my wife was like, oh my God, what was that?
So I run over to the window. And I don't know if it was like a generator or what happened, but. Knocked out the power. It was funny because. Like up until probably 10 a.m.
We had power in half of the house, but in the other half. nothing and of course i didn't charge any of my devices So I just went to the gym, flex, and plugged my phone in and just waited all day for my neighbor to text me that we had power back. It was crazy. I thought it was it, man. And I'm not gonna lie.
Were you ready? I'd be ready. I wasn't scared at all. I was like, this is the time. If there was ever a time to just wipe us off the fucking planet.
Now is the time. But then, you know, you think like, uh. Because we have kids, we have young boys. You know, that's the only issue. But if I were single, It were just me and Amanda in this house.
I'd be ready to take on some aliens. You know, like in the movie that just swing away, baby. Swing away. Yeah.
Yeah, or to go to another astro plane or whatever's next for us as a human soul. I'm good. Yeah.
Oh, last night, by the way. The game was awesome. I had Miami really big on the money line, so that was cool. But I had a nut on old miss. I had the under, though, man.
And it looked great until the fourth quarter. And then we had an instant classic, obviously. But. Yeah, that the Miami result was good. I wish I would have just bet the over.
Trindad Chambliss is awesome. What are you supposed to do, though? Like, the big controversy was: was there pass interference on the end? And of course, there was. Yeah, of course there was.
So if you're a defender. Why would you never not do? They're never. They will never. ever call that.
Ever. But I thought the game I thought it was officiated fine, to be honest with you. Like. I like the guy. Who's the guy on Old Mist, the wide receiver, that's like 300 pounds?
I want that guy. 300 pounds. Oh, he's just a big looking dude. Number two, maybe? I don't know.
He caught the last touchdown, I think. Two-point conversion. Oh, the um said uh Harrison Wallace. You don't want that guy. Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh him, Deuce Alexander. Um I like all their receivers. I like all their skill position players, man. They were a fun team. Sucks that they lose.
I'm sad they lost because I wanted them to keep winning because of the Lane Kiffen thing. But I'm also happy they lost because I saw Paul Feinbaum said he was going to leave the country if an SEC team doesn't win this year, and I'm ready for that. Yeah, I saw Clay Travis tweeting about it today, too. He tweeted something about sports. Wow.
Yeah, he took a break from worrying about Will from Stranger Things, which, you know, no spoilers because. I was waiting for Nathan to get back from Chicago, so we've watched every single episode except for the finale. He was convinced. I think it was like some special that was going on for New Year's or New Year's Eve. He was like, Well, I want to wait, Daddy, because I want to go see it in the movie theaters.
They have a special release. They did. And I was like, Yeah, but I think he thought that it was going to continue.
So I'm like, we got to watch it at watch it at home. Like the poor, especially now that daddy doesn't have a job. Just kidding. Doom-doom doom. 11.
Well, one of the changes we made in this house is. I have Netflix still, but With commercials. You peasant. You peasant. I can't go that route.
I can't go that route. Although I do. I want to. That's the thing. I need to wait until football is.
Well, I guess now with the playoffs, I could finally cancel. I hate the guy that's like, oh, I'm hard to get Pucock today. Like, we all did, guy. It's $10. Oh, I know, but I will say this about the Amazon Prime game.
Like, In the state of Wisconsin. The local markets that are still airing the game over broadcast television are Milwaukee and Green Bay. You should, if you live in Wisconsin, you should be able to turn on your TV and get this game. Just because you live in Dane County doesn't mean you should need to go subscribe to Bezos' bookstore, you know? I do, I do.
It's I hate it, you know. Amanda's grandma? And like her parents. They obviously, you know, they're older. They don't want to stream.
They stream, but they don't want to. They don't want like Peacock and every single thing. They have Netflix already.
So they'll call me and it's like, how do we watch this game? And it's like, you got to go to a bar, or you got to unfortunately pay for it because I've tried to even hook people up. I don't know how it goes though, because I have multiple screens. And I've went to a buddy's house. They always say that if you give out too many.
If I try to give my mom TV, so she could. My mom only wants to watch the Packers. Yeah.
That's all she want that's all she cares about. And so I'll try to give her my stuff, and it's like, no, it won't let her.
So I don't know how they police that. I've not had that problem yet.
So I don't know. No? But I well, there was one time I was trying to watch Disney and they're like We need to verify you're at your fucking address. Yeah.
And I'm like. Disney? That happened to us, too. We were trying to watch Home Alone on Christmas over at Michael. Might have been the exact.
Same. All right.
So I want to do picks, but the other thing I want to do is: well, okay, real quickly: Indiana or Oregon? Oh, quickly? Oh, this is my favorite bat of the week. Then go ahead. I think there's a couple different ways that you could play this.
I was talking about this with the Strowski on the little Wednesday chicken dinner that we did. And You know, he brought up, I didn't even think about this.
So I really like. I like Oregon a lot in this game. I bet them.
Somebody just asked me on Twitter an hour ago, I didn't respond yet, if I like the money line. I kind of do, but I'm a coward, so I took the three and a half. But I could see Oregon and I think that they do win this game outright. I again like I won't be surprised if Indiana is just that damn good. Signetti is awesome.
Mendoza has been awesome. I love all their skill position players. Their defense is top 10, run defense and pass defense. They could get after the quarterback. They did that against Oregon in that first matchup.
But even though they won that game, like... They won it by 10 points. 30 to 20 was the final score. I really like what I saw from Oregon on the defensive side of the ball, which sounds dumb because Indiana scored 30 points, but you're not going to hold them to like, you know, two touchdowns in this game. But that was.
Their worst past blocking grade. I know not everybody's the biggest like PFF guy, but if you look at that, I think it was their worst or second worst. And Mendoza, I mean, he still made enough plays, but. They rattled them a little bit in that game, and I'm a big Dan Lanning fan.
So I think he's going to have a couple tricks up his sleeve tonight. I think they're going to send the heat. I'm not saying they're going to completely shut down Indiana. I'm staying away from the total after last night. I lean under and I really want to bet the Underman, but.
I love Oregon. And my other take, and this is what Joe had brought up. I think Mendoza, let me pull it up right now. He's like minus 400, minus 500 to be the number one overall pick. Third best odds are Ruben Bain, who I thought was going to have a bigger game last night for Miami, but he's a fucking stud.
I. I thought I would have voted for him. I don't have a vote. I'm not, you know, Gelb, but if I was. Gelb has a vote?
Yeah, he has a Heisman vote. I never would have known. Every time I jump out with him, I'd be like Ruben Bain Jr. But anyway. Dante Moore, I want to be able to.
If I had a Heisman mode, though, it would be like. I'm, you know, or playfully making fun of Gail, but if I had a Heisman vote, I would, it'd be the fourth sentence out of my mouth, no matter where I ever was. Same here. That's why I'm not, I wasn't even making fun of him, man. I was, that's the only guy I think that I know personally, like that I text with, that has a Heisman vote.
I just. I think it's awesome. But anyway, so I think Dante Moore is like four to one. Plus 350, I think, in like some spots right now, to be the number one overall pick. I'm not saying it's a lock or anything like that.
But I like him, man. He has the nation's second highest passing grade. Um, and he pushes the ball down the field. He has a 98.8 grade on 20-plus-yard throws down the field, leads the nation in touchdowns, adjusted completion percentage, all that shit when he's pushing the ball down the field. Um, now Indiana has been awesome taking away the deep stuff.
I really like their safeties and how they use them. But if Dante Moore, Balls out tonight, and let's say Mendoza. has a stinker. I'm not it's a one game sample size. I just think that price is kind of crazy.
I don't hate if you like Oregon tonight, and if you think Dante Moore is going to have a big game. And you play like futures, I don't know, three to one or four to one on Dante Moore to be the number one overall pick. I don't think it's a terrible bet because the Raiders, the Raiders have to go quarterback. I mean, they're going to trade Max Crosby, so they're not going to draft Bain. And um You know, I don't know.
You know, Mendoza's been awesome this season, but who knows? Big game, big spot. I like the Ducks. I think they could win this game outright. You think Dan Lanning does coke, by the way, or do you think he's always just that jacked?
Um I think that he I'm not think he does coke. But I think that once you elevate to a certain level, it's hard to ever live your life lower than that level. Mm-hmm. And so whatever you need to do to Get yourself to that level. Yeah.
Whether it's coffee or rock star. Do you like Indiana? I don't know. I feel like I was trying to figure what the national championship feels like. It feels more like Oregon, Miami than it does.
Indiana, Miami, which makes That's a terrible way to look at it, but Have you heard anybody but me pick the ducks to win the game outright? I haven't really heard anybody pick yet, so no.
So it's one for one. But I um I don't know. I feel like Oregon is going to be the sexier play. I mean, okay, so I'm going back to the game October 11th, Mendoza in that game, right? 20 of 31 passing.
215 yards and a pick. and a touchdown. Even Hemby, 19 carries, 70 yards. He did have two touchdowns. Dante Moore, it was his worst game of the season.
He was 21 to 34. 186 yards, turned the ball over twice, only had one touchdown pass. Also, Oregon has the best run game. They average like six, seven yards per carry. But Indiana's run defense is top 10.
They shut them down. I mean, Davidson only had eight carries for 59 yards. I don't know. I think we get a better performance from Oregon on the offense tonight. And I just, I think Dan Lanning, I think he's a defensive genius.
And I eventually think he wins a national title. Everybody loves Indiana tonight. I uh ducks for me. Ducks for me. Prime's exclusive wildcard playoff game is tomorrow night.

So, yeah. We need uh we need to get Horvat's money. With all the money he's given. Many folks over the years. I had somebody.
Reach out to me. like two and a half years ago. If they could sponsor the podcast. And I was so tied up and busy. That I completely spaced on it.
And I was looking through new emails or old emails and just cleaning it up, and I saw this email. Is it tacky of me to email him now two and a half years later and be like, Bam. You still in, bro, or no? Is that No, I'd be. No, I would just explain that it was hard to even see emails the last couple of years because of all the amount of emails that we would get from our former company, just non-stop emails.
Have jobs. All right, so our games this weekend. The thing that I'm most interested in is how I'm going to stack. one of my playoff best ball fantasy leagues.
So I get like three quarterbacks. Six running backs, nine receivers, three defenses.
So basically, I need to figure out what teams I want to ride in the playoffs. We'll go through game by game. But the team that I'm the most certain will win.
Well, I'll save that for when we get first.
So let's start with the first game. It is, um Rams and Panthers? That's right.
Okay. What are the Rams' favorite? Like eight and a half? No, no. Whoa, whoa, no, no.
Ten and a half. And our boy Devante is in. Oh, so I was low? You were way low. Yeah, this is a big number.
I mean, it opened at 10. And the Rams took instant. Oh, I like the Rams. I'm trying to figure out how far I like the Rams, but in this specific game, of course, you're going to like the Rams. I'm not saying the Panthers can't win this game.
They've beaten the Rams. Yep. It's just that they won't this time.
So, right. I mean I was thinking about this a couple different ways. Five to one, plus 460 right now at FanDuel. That's a crazy price, obviously, because Carolina has been a much better team at home. They beat the Rams earlier this season.
It was Stafford's worst game. I just don't think Stafford's gonna throw two picks in this game. I think he's going to play like the MVP.
So I like the Rams. I know it's a big number. I'm tempted to grab the points, obviously, here with the dog. Like I said, Carolina's been really good against the number at home. If Carolina comes out and they hide Bryce Young, I don't trust Bryce Young.
And I know he played one of his better games against the Rams a couple of weeks ago.
So remember when they beat the Packers? Was it 16 to 13? They can win a game like that, but they're not going to. That's not how the Rams aren't going to let them win a game like that where our bitch asses would. Yeah, if they come out and they just pound the rock against the Rams and they're running the ball for five yards per carry and they're able to hit some play action stuff, and Bryce doesn't look like an eighth grader out there.
I mean They can win this game, but I'm not tempted by that. I think that the Rams win this one, and I think they win this game by two scores.
So I haven't bet this. Either way, I don't like any props really. I thought about maybe Blake Coram under nine and a half rushing attempts. I think that number is a little high, but I'm going to stay away from that just in case the Rams do go up big and they just. You know, run the ball in the second half.
I'm going to stay away if I have to make a pick, which we do here for the show. I'd go Rams, 10 and a half, big number, but I like them here. What about you? I think the Panthers will keep it close for like a little bit and maybe even go up. And then the Rams will just.
Unleash all fire and brimstone.
So I like the Rams to cover the very large number as well. All right.
Usually we save Packers Bears, but we can't because I want to go in order here. And it's Saturday night. I'm jacked for this game. We will be live post-game, my friends. I'll jump on with you on my drive home.
I like uh I love Green Bay.
So right now. One and a half point favorites. You could have had them. is a one-point dog. Minus 124 is the best money line price.
I like the Packers to win this game, even though. A lot of people are like, oh, Horvot's a Quasette Bears fan. No, I'm not. I just, I knew that they were going to win over eight and a half games. I knew they were going to win the North.
I knew Ben Johnson was a great hire. I like Caleb Williams. I think they're only going to continue to get better. This is the year we got to get them. Uh because I think they'll draft a running back.
Swift's been good this season, but I think they'll have a different running back next year. I do like Manungai, but what if they get their Jameer Gibbs? And I like this running back class. Not as much as I did last year's, but I do like this running back class.
So. I think this is the year that you could get the Bears. And I know that people are going to bring up, like, oh, Caleb Williams. First time starting in the playoffs going against Jordan Love, who has playoff experience. I don't think that's going to matter because I think Caleb Williams is going to play fine unless it's really windy.
I don't think we're going to get the snow that people expect. Um, so I like the over by the way, too, at 45 and a half. I think Caleb's going to play good. But I think that the Packers are going to win this game because I think that the Bears are going to continue to play man defense and blitz Jordan Love. I.
I think he's going to pick the secondary apart. I actually think Green Bay might go to the Super Bowl. I'm back in on the Packers, even with this secondary. Yeah, because I think LaFleur is going to give you. One of these.
I think here, here's a couple of predictions for you. LaFleur's best coaching job of the year comes this Saturday night. Jaden Reed scores a touchdown. And Packers win this game by at least A touchdown. Green Bay.
I was with the boys on locked on Packers last night, if you want to check that out. With Brandon Snyde, Peter Bukowski, and coach Jeff Jagodinski. And I took the Packers to win 21 to 17. I think it's going to be an excruciating. Saturday night.
But I do think they'll win. They need to come out. Here's the thing. This is how I like Have described it. The Packers and the Bears, we're in two different spots in our life right now, in our dating life.
So the Packers are like. Tired and They've been on all the apps. And they're like, oh God, I'm so, I just need to find somebody to lock it down with. And the Bears just like had sex for the first time and are going out and partying on the weekends all the time. They're like so young and exuberated and fresh and new.
And the Packers are like just beat up, at least the fan base is. And they're like, can we just get this over with? Like, either I'm going to get laid or I'm not. But I don't want to go through all the fucking nonsense and pay for the spaghetti or whatever the fuck you guys do on dates.
So. I think the crowd is going to be super hype. It's really like a first date type thing, dude. It's messy and shit.
Well, no, but I mean, not for normal people, but like for me, I always like to take dates into the alley outside of the Disney movie. And then we have the thing and we go, and then we kiss. Oh like Lady and the Tramp. Yeah.
It's just a piece of fucking spaghetti, it wasn't a thing, but anyway, go on. Um, and then uh.
So I think that the Bears fans are going to, because even when they were down 16-0 to the Lions, as soon as the Bears scored in the fourth quarter, before the two-point conversion, even they were already hyped. They're like, all right, we're doing this. And they've come from behind, which is something that I also think. Bears fans are looking to on first dates. I gave you the drum roll.
I'm just gonna stop. I think the Packers win, though. I mean, like. That's what I'm saying, though. Nothing like what you said, but everybody's talking about Caleb Williams being like it's his first start.
The Bears' defense is horrific, one of the worst defenses in the league.
Some people don't realize this. Hashtag people forget Bart because they lead the league in takeaways. Here's the thing, though, Jordan Love. He doesn't really turn the ball over a whole lot anymore, right? This isn't your Jordan Love from Utah State that I didn't want to draft because, you know, I kind of like that Rodgers guy.
But uh Dude. Jordan Love's only thrown six picks this year, and I don't care what anybody says. Jordan Love, greater sign, Malik Willis. Floor's best coaching job. Packers by, you know what?
Packers by at least 10. Uh a five nights at Freddy's fan account. Says, I'm new to football. Can you tell me if my team is good? Who's his team?
I don't know. He also says, I'm Irish, so I don't know anything about football. Oh, who's your you got to tell us your team? This is some real deep ass gorilla marketing. Uh Goyd.
Here we go. Here we go. Horvot is brought to you by Five nights at Freddy's. Wasn't a big fan of the C. My kid liked the first one.
He plays the video game or reads the books or some. I don't know what he does. I didn't know what it was. I thought it was terrible. Both of them.
But the second one was honestly, I think it was one of the worst-rated movies of all time. Never seen it.
So Bills and Jags. Yeah, so Bills and Jags.
So here's the thing about this game, man. I really want to take Jacksonville because I was right about Jacksonville and I was right about Liam Cohen. And please, please, for the love of my family, let him be or Ben Johnson be coach of the year, preferably Liam Cohen, because I have that 14 to 1. Um, Trevor Lawrence has been awesome this season. But we're getting Josh Allen, even though Jacksonville has the better team, and even though the number has flipped back and forth here.
I'm going to go Josh Allen. To find a way to win this game.
So, Buffalo for me, I haven't bet this one. But if everything goes good on tonight and on Saturday, I probably will. Give me the bills. What about you? I think Jacksonville can really put together a run.
Me too. And I think that they would. If they were not taking on Josh Allen as well. I know. Right.
Unless, you know, if I was in Buffalo, the Buffalo version of me is probably saying something like, Think of it this way, guys. What if Josh Allen knows he's not going to win a Super Bowl this year and he knows that they need to make a change at head coach? What's to stop Josh Allen from wanting to lose this game so they bring in a John Harbaugh? That's what I would be doing in Buffalo. Yeah.
He does have a foot injury. Oh, that said, while you're building your roster, though, as far as quarterbacks, I would either want. Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts? And then it goes Matthew Stafford, Drake May, Trevor Lawrence, Brock Purdy, Caleb Williams, Jordan Love for me. I go Caleb over Jordan Love because more rushing yards.
And Packer Secondary is nonsense. I mean, they picked up digs off the fucking streets. Yeah, so he's just going to be able to play. He did last week, didn't he? Or am I losing or was I losing my mind?
Um Or is it a Horvot is brought to you by Polymarket and Kelsby. They give everyone else money. Why not us?
Okay. Right. I get a deal with one of these plays. I don't like that you have to make a little logo for them. Did you take that away?
No. I don't even know how to do that. That was weird. All right.
So yeah, I like I like the Bills. What was the line again? Forgive me, please, sir. It's right now you could get Jacksonville. Best price plus one minus 115.
So Jacksonville is taking some money. Minus 108 on the money line for the bills. Total in the game, 51 and a half. You know what I kind of like here? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So Buffalo's a six, so they would probably go to They would be the lowest seed going to Denver. Denver. Oh, they'll fucking be Denver. I'm gonna play an anytime touchdown. Give me my main man, Parker Washington.
Anytime touchdown. B-dubs plus 205. You know what? I was when I went to Denver, I was talking with the boys, and I put in on our game of darts, I put in my name as B-dubs. And someone looked at me and goes, What?
And I go, Why has no one ever called me or any of my brothers B dubs.
So that takes us out to Philadelphia, where the Eagles are breaking Packer news. Wait, what do we got? Dantavian Wicks is out. Hold on, can we redo the Can we rewind the pod? That actually, okay.
Jaden Reed, though. What's Jaden Reed to score a touchdown, real quick? I'm going to bet it now. Don't talk about it, be about it, as Usher once said. Hold on.
The Packers. The Packers go into Soldier Field for the second time this season and the third time in three weeks. The Packers' last win came against the Bears in Green Bay. Coincidentally, the Bears' last win came against the Packers in Chicago. The line on this one is a point and a half as the Packers as a road favorite.
Plus, I took Eric Sullivan before he was. taken away by the Miami Dolphins. And John Eric Sullivan had this to say. Yeah, I got two first names. No one knows who the fuck I am, but uh I probably led all all the Milwaukee talk stations today 'cause uh the radio here is dog shit.
Plus 245, Jaden Reed, anytime touchdown. I bet it. All right, Philadelphia keeps taking money. I said if we got to six, I was betting San Francisco. I think I'm just going to bet him right now at five and a half.
Give me the niners here. I uh I don't care what anybody says, I will take Kyle Shanahan. Over Over your NFC championship or not make the playoffs.
So, by that theory. Although, you know. I loved the Eagles last year, obviously, because they won the Super Bowl, and we had that. And Saquon, one offensive player of the year. I'm not eating.
Kellen Moore was really good last year, and I like the Saints this year, man. It's almost too bad that the Saints, like. Weren't reward, like you know how in the ACC? Duke won the ACC, but But Miami's now in the playoffs. Yeah, in the final.
Yeah, I feel like the Saints would have played a lot tougher. Than Carolina. The thing is, the Eagles are just playing with their food, and they could go on a run, they could win it all. But Siriani Five and a half points against Shaney. The thing I worry about is the Niners' defense.
Since the Nick Bosa injury, they just don't get after the quarterback. And I thought Fred Warner was coming back, but he's not coming back unless they make a run to the NFC championship game. But five and a half, I'm going to bet, you know what? I'll bet San Francisco here. What about you?
Um Well, here's a San Francisco fan. Says as the Niner fans, season felt over last week. But with everyone on the Eagles, it feels sneaky to go with San Fran. Yeah.
Unfortunately. If I had to pick one game to risk it all on. This weekend. It would be the Eagles. Oh Yeah.
Like to win out, but like it's five and a half. Five and a half. I don't know, but to win, to win, if I think one team's gonna win. It's going to be the Eagles. I think you need McCaffrey on your team.
I know how good the Eagles' defense is. Also, what are your thoughts on Cooper Dejean and Nikki Bella? Um Good for him, as my thoughts.
Well yeah, good for him, but She's got a little midlife crisis going on. I think she might be a little crazy. Didn't she beat the shit out of her husband and then Cena? Like, you know, obviously. It's nice to have, you know, I don't think this is, I don't think they're going to get married per se.
Well now. But will she be at the game? Are they going to show shots of her like Taylor Swift? Fuck else she got to do. Although she is on the active roster, right?
WWE is so bad right now. WWE is Dog shit right now. I have to watch it too because of Nathan's all into it. On no planet should old-ass CM Punk ever beat Braun Breaker in a match. I was I was fine with that.
Yeah.
I was fine with that. I kind of figured that was the case. I'll riot tonight if Drew doesn't win, and I already know that he's not going to, though. Is that Matt Knight? Yeah, three stages of hell.
That's tonight. Yeah, I got to tape it though, so don't text me about it because I got to watch, you know. I don't have to anymore. My wife's always like, oh, you gotta watch the game for work. And I'm like, I bet it.

Which takes us to Sunday night. Foxborough. Gillette Stadium. We're the Patriots, our three and a half point favorites. The total is 45 and a half.
What a year for New England. What a year for my guy, Drake May, who I never doubted, right, Bart? But you know what? Justin Herbert had that playoff. Shit performance last year where he threw what, three or four picks.
He bounces back. The chargers hardly Harbaugh Knock off New England. Plus 160 on the money line. Give me the Chargers. Really?
New England hasn't seen the defense like the Chargers. They haven't played against a top 10 defense. I wonder if they're going to be able to do it. I think this would be everybody's lock since before Halloween. What?
Chargers? The Niners? Or the. The Patriots? Yeah.
No, Chargers win this game outright. I'm a coward though, so I'll take the three and a half. Bolt up. Bolt up. How many How many teams are there?
That have a name like New England, where it's not actually. a city or state, like Carolina Panthers. There's no Carolina. There's North Carolina and South Carolina. The Golden State Warriors is another.
I don't really have the answer for you. I do have the answer to this trivia question I saw the other day. Who is the only team ever? to draft two Future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. In the same draft.
In the same draft? Yep. Hold on. You're not, it's a trick question. Oh, they then who is it?
The Kansas City Royals. Drafted Elway and Marino in the season. You know, it actually could have been a great bar question for all you guys. You know who it could have been if if health. And maybe some playoff results changed a little bit.
There could have been a different one, it could have been actually Washington. If RG3 doesn't get hurt. and continues the ball out and Kirk Cousins.
Somehow wins a couple Super Bowls with his regular season stats. How about that? Washington in the same draft. Patrick says, Wisconsin kids since ninety four, so I'll pray the pack can make it past the Bears at least. They will.
But I was born and raised in Broncos country. I like the structure of that team. But is Bo Nix ready to do it in the big moment? But heck. That D could bring them on their own.
Go Orange Crush. I'll tell you, going to that Broncos Stadium, worst fans I've ever been around. I disagree. I like Bronco fans, and I think, you know, I've been a big Bonix hater all season. Like, I just don't trust him in the playoffs.
But if there's a year where Bonix And the Broncos and their defense is awesome. Can win a Super Bowl? It's this year. This year.
Okay. Oh, yeah, but I I think so. If Buffalo wins, I think the buff I'd buff I'm I would take Buffalo to go there and Wait, are you taking the fucking Patriots or the uh Chargers?
Well, I like that you're taking the Chargers, but I think I am going to take the Patriots. All right, let's talk about the game that actually matters here. All right.
Do you know how much? I enjoyed watching Aaron Rodgers last Sunday. You know what's happening on Monday night? Aaron Rodgers. Everybody loves Houston.
I don't remember the last time they lost. They have the best defense in the league.
Now, I I would love to say like matchup-wise how I think Pittsburgh wins this game, but I don't really know. I also. Worry. Kenneth Gainwell and Jalen Warren will have a combined 15 catches. For 210 yards.
I think just the Mike Tomlin luck, Monday night. They have not lost on a Monday night in 20-some years. Steelers plus three, Steelers plus 136. I'm gonna go with Rodgers. One last time.
I love the Steelers in this game. I feel like I'm a little scared that everybody likes the Steelers, I feel though. Do you think I'm like sort of cursing it that I'm back on the Rodgers train? You're not back on the Rodgers train, though. I think you're just trying to.
Fuck, I'm not. I think you're just trying to jinx. He threw that touchdown at the end. I was like, God, that was fucking sick, bro. I just want a Pittsburgh Green Bay Super Bowl.
No way. Mm-hmm. I do. What would be a bigger reason to fire Lafleur and Goody. If they lost to the Bears this weekend.
or if they got to the Super Bowl and then lost to the quarterback that they ran out of town. You can't go to a Super Bowl and then lose to Aaron Rodgers.
Now when now you can't do that. I'm good. I mean, should the Bucs trade for John Morant? 414-799. Honestly.
What do the Bucks have even left? to give because I do think. I'm sorry, Jay Morant. Is it Jay Morant? This kid's good.
Moray State. I don't think they're going to get a whole lot in return for John Morant, man.
So. Brooklyn is not a city. Brooklyn's a borough, so I think the Brooklyn Nets would count. Did you see fucking United Center last night? Not a real or like, not even a real organization.
Imagine, like, I was thinking about that.
Now I always think in dad brain. Imagine, hey, we cleared the calendar. We can go to this game.
Son, I'm taking you to watch, what was it? Blazers Bulls. This is going to be great. You take them down, you get the popcorn, you sit down, and they're like, Uh, the floor is moist, but here's Benny the Bull and Tyler Hero chucking up half-cord shots. They got a bunch of assholes out there, like with red, like what I do, like when I spill like wine, and I'm like, oh shit, my wife's gonna be mad.
I just take a towel, one of her, like, one of her, like, old, like, her grandmother's towels, and I throw it on the ground, and I'm like. That's what they were doing to the court. Like there had to be. Uh, nobody cares, but man, what a mess. You want to know a great hack?
What? Because I broke a plant the other day. Mm. You should buy a copy of everything in your house right now so that when you do spill wine on it or break it. You can just replace it.
And then no one will ever know. Yeah.
That is. Since I have to pick my son up from school, you were asking about your roster. I would go with Christian McCaffrey. But it's got to be the whole playoff. Oh, oh, I can play.
So, what three teams am I riding? I think I'm going to ride Buffalo because I do it with a buddy and he's riding Jacksonville.
So, I'm going to hedge. I'm going to ride Buffalo. I'm going to ride the Eagles. And then I might ride the Rams. Yeah.
Or maybe the pack attack. I was gonna say, I think they're sleepers. I wanted to do a Packers Eagles pick. Pittsburgh won. Yeah.
Well, hey, good luck. This could be a text message.
So go ducks tonight, or you might not see me next week. I might be homeless. All right, Ryan Horvat. Thank you. And thank you all for stopping into the Winklerverse.
