I was holding it. I was holding it, and then we wouldn't go live. Good morning, everybody. Welcome into the Winkler Verse. I'm Bart Winkler.
Ryan Horvat is here. It is our pick episode for the week. This is NFL picks week five. Good to see you again, buddy. Just some things off the top.
A reminder: We are brought to you by Play the Drive. You can play each drive from your home with this card game. You get the poker chips and the cards, and then you pick the. It's like pass the hat for football. Is the easiest way to describe it.
Play the Drive dot com, so you can have fun when you get the game. Great, especially. I would I would make sure you get this game before Thanksgiving. Because you're going to be with your family, sitting around a lot of people you don't talk to, but you tell them you love them, and then then you can play the Thanksgiving games and maybe Packers Rams the night before. Play the Drive dot com.
We thank Dan and the folks over there for that. Schedule wise for the Winkler verse, we've got the picks with Horvat today, and then the next show will be a doubleheader on Sunday. We'll have a post game show for Packers Bears, and with the Brewers Dodgers game being at night, we'll have a post game show for that. Do you have any Brewers thoughts you want to share first as a Cubs fan? Um, I'm happy for you guys.
I I don't really like the Padres, so I'm gonna be it's gonna be tough. He's a Cubs fan. Yeah, if it was Cubs versus Dodgers, I would root for the Dodgers. Growing up, you guys were in the American League, and actually, I don't know if you saw this man, Baseball Hall of Fame, my great uncle Earl. Former Milwaukee Braves broadcaster, when they won the World Series, up for the Hall of Fame.
So everybody should get on that. Milwaukee legend, Wisconsin legend, also did play-by-play for the Green Bay Packers. I'm cheering for you guys because I can't cheer for the Dodgers. I'm cheering. I would love a Milwaukee Chicago World Series, not the one.
Well, not the NLCS that I had hoped for, but I'm kind of cheering for the White Sox, even though some of my family members and friends make it tough because they talk so much crap. And then I'm cheering for for you guys.
So my thoughts are good luck. I'm cheering and praying for you, but I'm not watching a whole lot because it's football season. It's my birthday weekend. My family went out of town. I'm a little constipated, so I have other things on my mind.
I'm no longer constipated. I we are we on the same constipation cycles? You know what we should do is we get older and older and continue to do this. I think this has to be. We have great sponsors.
I know you're going to tell everybody about them, but I think we got to get. I think we got to get some some fiber sponsors. The older that we get, I've been taking Miralax gummies along with my hemp gummies. My problem is, man, is that like I'm trying to get all. Thirteen percent body fat right now.
I want to get to ten percent, but I'm trying to stay like you're at thirteen percent. I'm probably at thirty. Yeah, you know what's weird?
So my goal is ten percent. I got down to twelve percent, and then I lost two pounds, and my body fat actually went up, which was weird. But so I've been like stuffing my face with like chicken breast, salmon. I got to eat more fiber, obviously more veggies. But my issue is, I found these like peanut butter protein bars.
And I don't want to like throw the name out there, but man, I've been eating. My wife's like quest. No, but my wife the other day was like, "Did you eat four of these today?" And I was like, "It's it's almost like when I was like, you know, when I was like hiding drinks from her back in the day." And I was like, "No," and I and I did. And then today I almost died at the gym. Don't want to give away too much information, but if you're gonna eat a lot of protein, make sure to eat or drink your fiber as you get older.
Maybe you're young and you don't gotta worry. I don't know. Even in your twenties, though.
Now I'm curious about the brand. Also, like this is my lunch—just rice and chicken. It's my birthday weekend, though, so for the first time in like two months, I think I'm gonna have a margarita tomorrow.
Some fajitas. Wow, I'm really excited. Before we do football, before we do NFL, can I hijack your show and say, in case my NFL picks sucked this week or bets, I think this is my favorite college slate. Of the season, I love. I don't love.
Is this the one where people are like, "You shouldn't get married," or there's still another bigger one coming? No, there's a bigger one coming. I think that's that's two weeks. That's the weekend of Notre Dame and Miami. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Time out! Time out! Mitch says, "Peter butter, peanut butter and cheese don't fly." No, you know what I? You know what I had for a snack the other day? Nutter butters.
And then I wrap them in a slice of pepper jack cheese. Your colon's gonna hate you. I—that's the thing. I have to like pick and choose. Like the pizza has to be really good, and I'm not going home to Chicago or you know the Midwest this weekend.
So I got to stay away from pizza right now. Cheese, cheese is not good for me. I like anyway. Had to bet Washington. Money line over Iowa.
Had to bet Texas A and M. You think that game's getting moved? That's all I care about. Bama, Georgia. I don't know.
Did you watch Josh Pate's weather special on Sports Center today? I missed it. I was trying to relieve myself at the gym. How do these people just come out of nowhere and just be accepted as a thing? That's starting to bother me.
I don't like the hate. As someone who's been fucking grinding for decades. Yeah, I like. I don't want to like like talk any junk, but you know, because like I'm obviously like I wish I was on ESPN. Not that I don't love doing the picks pod with you in my kitchen, but I mean, if dude, I mean, I don't even understand.
I I'll never understand how you compare. Like the 2019 LSU team is the greatest college football team of all time. Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, your guy Patrick Queen, who you wanted the Packers to draft. I mean, they were fricking loaded, man. Justin Jefferson, but um, who was the running back?
And then Florida, after you make that comparison, four days later goes out and gives up damn near 600 yards and 40 plus points to Missouri. Not even to Georgia. You know what? I didn't understand. I like this Florida team too.
They made me a ton of money so far this season, and I love John Sumberall. And I still think they're a really good team. I hope they make the playoff. Oh, they had Edwards hilarious. Yeah, they had Edwards Eller too.
He was their running back. And remember, Thad Moss was the tight end. We all wanted him to be something so bad because Randy Moss is. Kian Chasson. Derek Stingley, Stingley, yeah.
I mean, they're loaded. The whole team is is in the league right now.
So what does that tell you? But you know what I didn't understand is like Georgia is just pummeling teams. If you're going to make comparisons to the greatest team of all time, why wouldn't you mention the best team in college football? Texas, I don't think is, but they beat Ohio State. Great resume.
Like you say this after Florida beat who? I just crazy talk. Anyway, let me throw out a couple bets that I love this weekend that I think you should place yourself. Nebraska might beat Indiana. But I'm a wuss, so I'm going to take the eight points.
I love my favorite bet of the year. Penn State looks terrible, right? Although, thank you to them for the Badgers money line plus three fifty a couple weekends ago. Penn State whiteout game, not the kind of whiteout that those kids got in trouble for at Penn State a couple weeks ago. But Penn State, why are they one and a half point favorites over USC?
Cause they're winning that game by at least a field goal. I have so much money on that game that I might not be able to do the picks next week if USC wins that game because I might have to go into witness protection from my bookie. I'm betting Bama against Georgia. I have Bama going to the playoff from before the year. I love Deboer, and the quarterback's a stud.
Yeah, I like that Bama's like Bama plays these games tight, and you're like, is this the day? And then you check the score later, and no, no, they won forty nine to twelve. Keelan Russell, dude, he's a freaking stud. I hope he's the Packers quarterback in a couple of years. And then my other favorite one, Minnesota keeps winning all these games.
They shun it. Everybody loves PJ Flack. They're going on the road and taking on Purdue, and Purdue is only a checks paddle right now. Two and a half point dog. Purdue wins the game outright.
Fighting Drew Brees plus one fourteen.
So there you go. Texas A and M, Washington, Nebraska, Georgia Tech—little side one. Penn State, Bama, Purdue. I think I sweep the board this week for my birthday. Sweep the board in college.
I don't feel great about the NFL. Let me get some water.
Well, while you do that, do you mind? I've been talking a big game about my bucks bet. No, remind me that I want to bet the over on their win total. Oh yeah, you've told me about this. I saw the pictures of Tyler Hero, and I'm I'm out on the box.
Do you mind if I just run to Pato real quick? Yes, say yes. Say go ahead and run to Pato. Yeah. All right, I'll be right back.
Okay, Horvat. That's some Dodgers futures for me. I'll be right back. I'm gonna run to Pato.
Okay. Let me try this again. I felt like, huh? I felt like, uh, like Marty when Euchar when um he goes down, he's drunk. Fly ball.
When I cue something up, it doesn't play right away. Let me let me try again. Do you mind? Do you mind if I run the pottle real quick? Nope.
Just real quick. I'll be right back. Kitchen.
Well, and I don't have five hundred dollars.
So what am I trying to prove? Five hundred bucks on the bucks. Here we go. I don't have to do this.
Okay, we got five hundred in. We have bucks over under at twenty five and a half minus one thirty two.
So if I do that, then I can win three fifty. How about to win thirty games, five hundred to win a thousand. Fuck! Oh God! What have I done?
Wish me luck. Coming, Harvey. All right, man, that was quick. You got to be out of breath. Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Five hundred dollars on the Bucks win total, huh? Thirty games, I need. Thirty games. Chad says that's five hundred. You'll never see again.
Tyler Hero is the go-to guy, correct? Yeah. What's with Bobby Portis? He's at the Heat. No, I know.
What's he? What's up with him? Like saying, like he he finally has is like a good basketball culture, organization that wants. They're trying to impress Pat Riley, which is the most cuck thing of all time. Pat Riley even like still all there.
Not to be rude. They wheel him out like McConnell every couple of weeks. Pat, you trade you trade for Giannis? Yeah. Legit, like who's if if if Harrow's double teamed, who's like the second go to guy though?
Who's the who's the bat? Who's the Robin to Harrow's Batman? Ryan Rollins. Oh, Ryan Rollins. Jaime Jaquez.
I don't even know Jaime. You guys have him? We got their whole team. We got where? Oh yeah.
We got Yak and Jonas. Did you hear the rumor that the reason that Jaime wasn't playing last season was because he bangs Voltscher's wife? I believe it. That's a real rumor in Miami, and then they like followed each other. Anyway, good luck, dude.
Go Bucks. I hate the NBA, so I'll be cheering for you. Bucks won last night. They beat the Thunder after the Thunder sat their bench in the second half and played guys even I've never heard of. And I love the NBA.
Why would they play any of their guys whatsoever? It's the preseason. I guess the NBA is different, right? You got to ramp back up into game action. Let's get into football.
There's a difference between being in shape and being in like basketball shape. I always think I'm in shape until I play full court at lifetime and like three trips down, and I feel like... And I just saw looking a pack of marbles. I just saw a story that LSU has a basketball scrimmage tonight, but they only have four guys on their roster. Is that real?
Four guys on the roster. Yeah, they have their their roster on their website has four guys and five coaches. No, I didn't hear that. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not mentally there.
Let's do some NFL though. We got a big Thursday night contest tonight. I gotta be honest. Like for me, the excitement is just not there. I might even do something else.
I kind of want to see that new other mommy that movie with. I don't even know who is that. Chase Steen. Who cares? It's a new horror film.
Kind of want to check that one out. Might do it because I got the house to myself all weekend, and I'm trying to be responsible but also enjoy life a little bit. Oh, just bought John Mayer tickets at the Sphere. Don't even want to tell you how much I paid for them.
So we're really going to need some winners this weekend.
So let's get into it. Let's head out to Dallas, where the Cowboys are eight and a half point favorites. The look ahead line was three and a half, but Baker Mayfield has been executed. They're on to Jalen Daniels from Kansas. Total in the game went from fifty two and a half.
Jayhawks. Forty-eight and a half, so under money immediately comes in. I'm gonna be honest with you, man. I'm not gonna bet this game, but if I were to bet this game, I know it will be like I don't want to lay eight and a half with an NFL team. But I think the Cowboys.
I think you were onto something with your NFC pick. I kind of want to join you. In fact, I am gonna run to Pato. But not right now. I'm actually going to make a phone call.
My brother is going to run to Pato for me because I won't be in Milwaukee for another month.
Okay, just make a bet online, Harv. It's you don't live here. It's fine. But I kind of like Dallas in the NFC, dude. I think they could win in shootout fashion against anybody.
I know they lost that game. They're gonna score forty points every game, and the division sucks. I think the defense is only gonna continue to get better, and the defense sucks. I mean, the Eagles' players are giving up on Jalen Hurts. The coaching staff, like Sirianni, is an idiot.
Without the geniuses running the show, I'm not gonna bet the game. If I were cheapest price you could get, actually, Paddle just went to Dallas minus eight. I would bet Dallas, and I'm going to bet some Dallas NFC futures. I know it's the Cowboys, and they always choke. And Stephen A.
Smith will wear a cowboy hat and talk about mental health. But Cowboys, I'm all about them, man. I think I'm with you. I don't like Miami, although I don't know. Yeah, I'm out on the the Lions' pass defense is terrible, dude.
I don't even know that they win the North. The Vikings may win the North, so I'm with you on Dallas, and I kind of like them tonight. I need their defense. I did a couple of fantasy streamers in the leagues. I still have defense and kickers.
I picked up Dallas's D, and I dropped Tyler Loop, the Ravens kicker, for the only reason that he was hanging out with Trump this week. And I am that liberal, so I did drop Tyler Loop because of that. The other thing I was going to say regarding Stephen A. Smith was, I think if you say something on the air, and you get shit for it. You should have to wait until the next day to apologize.
I don't like that he just has another radio show he can go apologize for, and then he has a podcast later that night, and then he taped another thing with Sean Hannity. Like you shouldn't have four shows in one day. It's annoying. It's too much. Why does he need?
Why does he want? Like you're getting twenty million dollars just to be on first take. Why do you want these other jobs?
Okay. I don't understand it. I don't get it. Why does he need to go into politics? It's stupid.
We all have political thoughts. We don't need to hear everyone's. Right. Vote Crowley. Right.
All right.
So I like Dallas. What about you? I like Dallas. I'm going to take Dallas. I like Jalen Daniels, long-term prospects, but he is still just his second game.
And you know, I think they're gonna drop some blitzes for him. I you got you got the rookie, young quarterback. You got you got to just get these edge rushers. You know, Rashawn Gary's a guy. Dallas Matt here, but they got sacked last week.
He's been awful. Rashawn got sacked last week. Didn't he get a sack? They had a headline, and it was like, "What has happened to Rashawn Gary?" Yo, I ain't voting Tiffany John. All right, go ahead.
All right, so we got another early start on Sunday morning. 9:30 AM on the NFL Network. We head out to London, England, where the Jags—they're home away from home. This—I bet this really early. I thought this was going to be a really good spot for the Jags, man.
And I took them not to be that guy, but I grabbed one and a half, and I never bet NFL games early.
Now they're seven and a half point favorites, so I gotta—I got them as one and a half point dogs. I gotta be honest; I still want no piece of Philadelphia. You got guys retiring. Sirianni, like I just said, idiot. I'm a Jalen fan, but God has he been terrible.
That might be the reason people are tiring. The defense has been a letdown. Quinion Mitchell has been a little bit of a letdown. Cooper DeJean looks some weeks like out of shape, and the Jags look really good in the AFC. Man, Liam Cohen was a great hire.
Trevor Lawrence has finally figured it out. The defense is for real. Sure, like you probably shouldn't have moved up to pick two for Travis Hunter since he's just a defensive back, but you know he's a solid player. I, I'm not going to bet the Jags at seven and a half, nor would I, but I, for pick purposes, will still take them because I have them with one and a half. Um, I on Sunday morning I will be doing.
I will. I want to show you something. I will be doing this. Church. Um.
No, number 13 is my boy. I'll be at lacrosse. Oh hell yeah! Look at him go! I don't know what the hell he's doing, but doesn't look terrible.
No, he looks running. That's half. That's half the battle, man. If you look the part.
So we have lacrosse practice at 10 a.m. You're gonna miss this this epic game, huh? Yeah. So why did Lane Johnson retire? What's going on there?
I think he's just like mentally, like not in it this year. Is what he pretty much said, right? Is that like the grind? He's old. He's been.
He's he's a Hall of Famer. I mean, already. And I don't think this team's going anywhere. I think just something's off, and I think something's been off, right? I don't think it was just AJ Brown reading on the sidelines, man.
I think Sirianni is an idiot. And again, like go back to the Super Bowl run.
So hold on. How did they win with him? Remember the game on Monday night where they were in the playoffs and they lost to the Buccaneers. Remember that. Yeah, and we're like Sirianni's going to be fired, and then he wasn't.
Yeah, and then they won a Super Bowl. I don't even think it's like that hard to figure out what's happened to Philadelphia, right? Jalen, but how did they ever win? They all hate each other. I'll tell you, Sirianni's a dink.
Yeah, I was going to tell you how they won. Kellen Moore was in his bag because he wanted to be a head coach, and so far he's been a decent head coach. Although God, did the Saints get destroyed on Monday night? Fangio is a defensive genius, even though he's getting older. They got a career year out of Saquon, who was never going to have that year again or be that healthy ever again.
The offensive line was the best in football. Those guys have aged; some of them have retired. The defense was outstanding, but you knew those Georgia guys were a little off because half of them had traffic violations. Or arrests coming into the league, not to be that guy. Cooper DeGene, like I said, dude, he either gained too much weight, partied too hard.
Like it reminds me of like high school, college, when dudes would just come into the off-season program, like feeling themselves a little bit too much. Quinion is not having the same season, and and they've regressed, man. And the divisions, I'm not gonna say the divisions. The Giants have gotten better. It sucks that they lost Jackson Dart for the year.
The Cowboys, I think, are the real deal, even with a couple losses this year. The Commanders are pissed, but I mean, how are they not supposed to be when Jaden gets hurt week three every year, and now Mariota's out or got hurt last week?
So I don't think it's like that crazy. What's the guy's name? Aethan, who the quarterback for the Commanders? Oh, Cal Camanus, right from Rutgers? Yeah, yeah, he's terrible.
Like he was terrible at Rutgers. That's what I'm saying. Like the league has a real quarterback problem right now. I like Jacksonville to cover too. I okay, me too.
Normally, I would say Philly can get back here, but I give credit to Jacksonville. This is not from unfamiliar territory to them. You've seen they got a lot of games on the road coming up because of overseas, and also they have to play in Orlando for a while as their stadium gets remodeled. Um. Yeah, I I don't know.
I I I pay. I paid for Will Shipley this week in fantasy. I'm I'm owing four in my main league with my high. I got Will Shipley in a dynasty league. Yeah, I would.
I'm gonna have to start him this this week. Yeah, I would. Not good. No. But I'm gonna take Jacksonville.
My who I I think might be my second favorite team in the NFL. If the Packers didn't, if the Packers didn't exist today, I'd probably go to either Jacksonville or Buffalo as my team. I'm going to bet an exact future with my with some of my birthday. Actually, I might be a big Cowboys fan. I already am secretly.
I'm like taking Jacksonville, Dallas, exact result, Super Bowl. Sure. Should we do it? I'm not doing 500 bucks. I'll tell people about no.
All right, I don't want to wait for it. Let's just talk about it because it's one of my it's it's my favorite. You want to do exact Super Bowl? Yeah. Dallas versus Jacksonville.
Yeah, I do. I don't. Do I have to? I don't think you have to go over. I think you could just pick the matchup.
Hold on, let me go to Paddle real quick. Not just kidding. All right, go ahead. All right, let's just uh get into the. Let's just.
I don't want to save it. I love the Packers this week. I feel like if Lefleur, so they were two and a half point dogs. The Robert says the Bears will not win, but the Packers will lose.
Okay, I here's my take on this game. Right, I love Green Bay in this spot. I think they split this year in Chicago and Green Bay. The reason I like Green Bay, if Matt Lefleur and that coaching staff can't motivate the players this week. You got.
I said this in the group chat that nobody cares about with my buddies. I said then you have to fire Lafleur on Sunday. You can't let them walk into that building on. They won't. There's no way they do though.
I would do whatever you need to do here. I would have Aaron Rodgers on a fricking FaceTime saying we're underdogs. They don't even have their starting quarterback. Lambo should be this huge home field advantage. In the betting market, it's no longer a home field advantage, man.
Remember, like the playoff loss years ago. Obviously, we all do to Michael Vick, and we're like the Lambo magic is dead. This market is telling you that the magic is really dead, and this team is dead. They're one and a half point dogs. To a backup quarterback in Chicago and this Bears team, and I get their three and one, and everybody loves Ben Johnson, but I would have I would have FARM.
I don't care.
Somebody needs to motivate this locker room. I know that they're all young guys and they don't care about the history, but I mean, this is a rivalry. They all claim that they hate each other. If you can't, if Lafleur can't motivate his team being underdogs to a backup fricking quarterback this week at Lambeau Field, they got bigger issues than we even know about. I love Green Bay.
Big bet on Green Bay. They're one and a half right now at Pato minus one and seven. As far as the total, it went from forty nine and a half to forty five and a half. I do like the under. I'm not going to bet it when I could have had key numbers weeks ago.
So Green Bay for me, man. I love them. I'm going to bet them again when we get off the air. I like Green Bay. I like Packers theory.
It's the new Titans theory. Actually, I like Brewers theory for this one. Here's what's going on in Wisconsin right now. No one has ever cared less about a Packers Bears game in the history of this franchise, because there was the year McCarthy's last year. I would argue people like didn't care about that whole season.
But go on.
Well, that's where we are already. Right. Okay. Go on.
So then you have the Brewers playing that night, and it is. I mean, it is Bears Week. It's Dodgers Week.
Okay, no one cares about the Bears at all. They are all they can think about is this game, which we would be in the same boat. They have a backup quarterback. The Packers suck. No one cares.
It matters more to them right now than it does us.
So we're gonna win. It matters more to them, so we're gonna win. This is strictly a narrative-based thought that I have, and that's how I would play this one.
So I'm, I'm with you. I still think the Packers, the Packers. I still think they win nine games in the most stupid way ever.
So Lafleur keeps his job. Yeah, I'm kind of with you on that one, dude. And I just can never like see like the bottom really falling out. I just. It just this was a three point spread before the season began with Caleb Williams.
Now the Packers are one and a half point dogs, and the overreaction—they're getting bumped out of time slots. Everybody thinks they suck, and they just might suck. That's betting for you, though.
So I'm going to go against the market here. I love Green Bay; it's my favorite bet in the NFL. All right, let's go to—we could be quick.
Well, that's the thing. Like the the week that it changed the time. We got the announcement, and we all we were talking about the right. That was the rivalry week. We didn't play each other.
Now we play, and we don't care. This next game, my my the guy that lives across the hall is a big Commanders fan, and we're buddies. We have beers every once in a while. And he hold on, I got it. I got to get this.
This is Bart Winkler fanboy, and he says, "What would you do if the Packers win by thirty-five points or more on Sunday?" What would you do if your son was at home crying all alone on the bedroom floor because he's hungry, and the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
Now, is his daddy gone somewhere smoking rock?
Now, is he in and out of lockdown, and you ain't got a job now? Yeah, city high, baby. Because for some people that's a really hard time, but for me, life. That's life. Life.
That's life. What would you do? No, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what would you do? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I go to Otto and collect my money, baby, because they would cover the one and a half.
All right.
So this, this beer drinking buddy of yours. Oh, so he wanted. He was like, "If you go to the game with me on Sunday, I'll buy all your drinks. We'll get an Uber." And I was like, "No, I'm good. I'm gonna stay home and watch the good games because the Commanders are playing the Giants.
The Commanders. It's Jameis Winston is a three and a half point dog. The total in the game forty one and a half. I will say this: the Commanders opened as a two and a half point favorite. It moved to three and a half." I like the Commanders to win this game by a touchdown.
I'm not going to bet this one because it's disgusting and I have no interest in it. But you give me some free money for my birthday, I'm taking the Commandos here. I like the Fighting Tobies. Is Jaden playing? He's been practicing.
I should know this, but it's what Jaden Daniels is a full go. I was going to say that line. How the. Are the Commanders three and a half point favorites? See, I'm not swearing this week.
So yeah, Jaden Daniels. I don't know, actually, dude. If we get the even three and a half, I'm going Giants. I'm not betting this game. I'll take the Giants.
Do you like how Toby gets to go overseas every time the Commanders do now? Yeah, I like it for him. He loves sports more than anything in this world. I I sent Toby, or I tweeted at Toby earlier this morning. I'm going to share yet another video.
This is five years ago today. Toby is waving the flag at Miller Park. Yeah, how did he get this gig? He's a he's a national snack. That'd be like me waving the flag.
He bought a ticket right since I had a family member that broadcasted for the Braves Brewers. He bought a ticket and he he was sitting in the section by Bernie, and they said, "Hey, do you want to wave a flag?" So it's like they make it seem like he won this big prize, and he's just right place, right time. The Brewers won that game, by the way, so maybe you got to have Toby back. I know. I like the Commandos.
That's the whole point—the fighting Tobies. I like the Commanders. I think the Giants are feeling themselves way too much.
Okay. And I like the fight in Tobey's.
Now is Arthur Kalamazoo starting or who? Jaden Daniels is starting. Oh, yeah, I like the Commanders.
Now, should I play Jaden Daniels over Jordan Love? I will not be doing that. I drafted both. Jesus Christ, why do you have either of them? Good question.
Because I was going to take Josh Allen at number thirteen, two rounds too early. But it doesn't matter because he gets a lot of rushing touchdowns, and my league is passing six points. And I still didn't take him, even though the only time I've ever won my league, I've had Peyton Manning or Josh Allen. There's a very clear way for me to win my league. I need Peyton Manning retired, or I need Josh Allen.
That's how I win. And I had the chance to take him, and I said I'm going to wait on Jaden Daniels, who I don't even think is that good. I don't think he's much better than C.J. Stroud. And if you wanted to know who I really like, I am Bryce Young, Truther.
I remember, like everybody was freaking out year one. All the Bears messed it up again. The Bears messed it up and again. And I was like, "No, Caleb is the better pro. Jaden, they're gonna figure him out." Um.
All right, nobody cares. Let's go to Tennessee. Here's a team I was wrong about. I thought they could win eight games. Tennessee.
They are terrible. Cam Ward may not be good enough to start in the next Rocks League. They're seven and a half point dogs to zero and four Houston. All the football nerds—they all love Houston to win the Super Bowl. They stink.
The defense is overrated. CJ Stroud might be dumb. Total in the game went from forty-three and a half to thirty-eight and a half. If the total is low, you know my rule, dude. I got to take.
In what world should this Houston Texans team? And I know they've had some bad luck. Be an eight-point favorite over any. I gotta cover my nose. I'm betting this one.
Give me the Titans one last time. I've taken every pick that you have so far. You're on the Titans.
Well, up until this one, because this I can't take every pick as you. That streak's gonna come to an end. Just not right now. Tighten up. Tighten up.
Tighten up. I just I hate Houston. Me too. No, like I hate the city of Houston. Oh, I like it.
They gave us Mike Jones. Who? Mike Jones and Pat Wall, mouth like a disco ball, and Slim Thug. What cup is that? Super Mario's.
Oh, I thought it was Paw Patrol. Super Mario Bros. We're big fans. Hey, our guy David Shepard. Says we are great together.
Cam Ward absolutely needs a change of scenery. Yeah, I want to be a fan of him too. I thought like, turns out I was wrong. Brian Dayball is what everybody in New York was telling me he was. Robert Sala.
I I told you that last year though, man. I said this. Hold on, Chef. Could you believe that Horvat and I were in the same company and they didn't put us together? Could you believe that?
Crazy. Nothing to say on that. I. Was raw? Oh, so Robert Sala sucks, dude.
Every year, I feel like Kyle Shanahan's coordinators should just get head coaching gigs because Kyle Shanahan is awesome. And the Niners, every week somebody dies on that field, but every week not only do they win and they cover, are they just the team of destiny? They're gonna be on like their six-string linebackers and defensive ends by the end of the season, and that rush. I I really feel like Brock Purdy's very good. It's just a shame that.
It's a shame that the Niners are covered by David Lombardi with the Athletic, who as as soon as Brock Purdy threw one touchdown, he made it his mission not to say that Brock Purdy will be as good as Steve Young and Joe Montana someday, but that he already is. I got a poll question. Actually, instead, you know, let's take some calls on this one. Four one four seven nine nine twelve fifty. If Jordan Love, if you replace Jordan Love.
With Brock Purdy, would Jordan Love put up better, worse, or similar numbers in San Francisco? Like, is Brock Purdy a system quarterback? Is Jordan Love just in a bad system? Do you think if Jordan Love goes to San Francisco, he wins a Super Bowl this year? Last year?
Do you think he wins an MVP? Because, like, remember everybody thought Purdy was just a system quarterback. I think he's. Would you like my real answer? Yeah, I want your real answer, not your homer.
Answer, because my real answer is I would want to ask people like I like Jordan Love, so don't I don't want to do that again where Jordan Love Twitter accounts hound me every time he plays good, but like, do you guys really consider this a success? If you could do it all over again, you move on for Rick Rogers. I know he's old and he hasn't won anything either, but Jordan Love has one playoff win. No, Jordan Love. No, oh, head coaches and the bad defenses too.
Jordan Love has one playoff win. At least with Rogers, we are guaranteed to go to the NFC Championship game and lose in embarrassing fashion. I miss those days. I would rather play. Than 28, 30 other teams.
So I just I think the Jordan Love run has been a little bit of a disappointment, and I think you guys coddle him a little too much. It's always the floor's fault or the defensive coordinators' fault, or the defense sucks. Is it ever Jordan Love's fault? Ever? Like when does any blame fall on Jordan Love?
It's all I'm asking. JordanLoveBookmarks.com, and I'm not a hater. I think he is a good quarterback. I just don't think he's great.
So I just don't think you replace greatness with good. How often do you ever replace greatness with good? How often? One time. Take Rogers out of the equation.
Would you judge Jordan Love's time with Green Bay? Do you think it's been a success so far? Yes, for him. For him. Would you rather have Caleb Williams?
I would not. You'd rather have Jordan Love over Caleb Williams? I would. What's Caleb do better? What's he do better?
Makes the miracle throw at the end of the game, okay? John says base Horvat and C.O.P. says it would be Jordan Love's fault, but it hasn't been so far, and I'm fine with that. But I'm just asking why every playoff loss was Rogers' fault, right? Like that's what I don't get.
Why? Because Rogers had to because Rogers didn't play. He did not put up the numbers in the playoffs that he did. Rodgers' numbers in the playoffs—he has a QB rating of ninety-eight point one, six thousand yards, forty-five touchdowns, and fourteen picks. Forty-five touchdowns, fourteen picks, six thousand yards, and a ninety-eight QB rating probably wins you a Super Bowl.
Anywhere else where you have a competent defense and head coach, I'm just saying, Jordan Love, like everybody always crap on Rodgers, like so it is the coach's fault, but it's just I don't know. You got a lot there. I think I make a great fricking point. You guys are everybody's just too sensitive to it. You got a lot there.
If you're letting me stop it, stop asking me questions and not let me answer. Then answer the fricking question. I can't. You haven't taken a breath yet. You're giving me tomato face.
Watch. I'm trying to get it red. I like red as I can. I like.
Okay. Another radio. Jordan Love, his biggest problem is that he is the quarterback after Aaron Rodgers. If they had a year of like Scott Tolzien in between, where we're gonna try to make it work, and then went to Jordan Love, we would all love Rodgers or Love. I mean, Jordan Love is not going to be a Hall of Famer, and so because of that, you think.
It's not good enough. It is good enough. Jordan Love's good enough to win a Super Bowl. Absolutely, he is not on this team now. If you're looking at the Niners, okay, your Rogers question.
In hindsight, even though we knew. The defense was bad in special teams. We still did direct a lot of our anger towards Rodgers. It was always his fault because he got paid too much. But what quarterback doesn't get paid too much?
What running back in today's league doesn't get paid too much? Or wide receiver? Is it Jamar Chase's fault that the that the Bengals lose every year?
So Rodgers is a little bit like LeBron, where it's a miracle that 2016 team made it to the NFC Championship game at all. And that was all Rogers, and then he gets crapped on for the loss because of the defense. Remember Rogers' first season? He was six and ten. People are like, Rogers is not clutch.
Rogers was clutch. He put the Packers on top like every game they lost with ninety seconds left, and then the Packers would blow it on defense. I think Jordan Love is very good, and I think if you swapped him in San Francisco, he would be good. You, Brock Purdy. Let me answer.
Brock Purdy would do better in either situation than Love because of the legs. Remember when he was here and we beat the shit out of Purdy, but then in the fourth quarter, Purdy's like. I'm just gonna run it, and we couldn't stop him. Love can't do that. Love needs to be more mobile, but he's not.
So whatever. Yeah. See again, like this wasn't to hype up Rogers more. Everybody knows. Love also does not have a running back, and Purdy has Christian McCaffrey.
Love Rogers has Tucker Craft, who in his head is George Kittle. A pass is coming to me. He's like, I'm George Kittle. I'm George Kittle. Bro, Rogers won a Super Bowl.
I mean, with James. Yeah, Robert, Jordan Love is a real wife. Good point. He's he's okay. Going out for beers or hanging out with?
Not me, but you guys probably Jordan Love. Here's my point. I wasn't trying to like blow Rogers even more. And I wasn't trying to rip Jordan Love. My point is, is that I hate this conversation with quarterbacks.
We do it with Burrow every year.
Some people do it with Josh Allen. Josh Allen is the best player in the National Football League, and some people consider him a choke artist because every year his defense or his idiot head coach let him down.
So he has zero Super Bowls. People say Rodgers can't be better than Aikman or can't be better than Marino.
Well, Marino never won one. But you know what I'm saying, like. It's it can't be ring conversation. Rogers is a more talented quarterback than Brady. Brady's Brady's a better winner in a big game.
Well, and then the phrase is always thrower of the football. But he's a better thrower of the. What is that? That's like that's like my whole point. Like everything in football.
That's why they say do your one eleven, right? You got to have a good quarterback. But you know what the good quarterback needs? Pass protection. Then anybody could be a decent quarterback.
Good wide receivers, like you said, a strong run game. But in the playoffs now, man, you need a good defense. You need an elite pass rush. That's how the Eagles win a Super Bowl with Jalen Hurts and an idiot head coach like Sirianni. The Chiefs were winning Super Bowls, but like their offense was lights out for two years.
Then after that, it really wasn't. Man, they were winning those Super Bowls because of Spagnola, Chris Jones, and that pass rush, right? Legion of Boom defense. 49ers there every year. Patrick Willis in the defense.
Packers, you're not going to win Super Bowls with You know, Rashawn Gary and and these bums.
So, like, you know, whatever. Right, Harvot. It's a great point. I just wanted to give people a taste of what real radio should sound like. Oh, we're we're doing it.
This is it. It's better than anything you'll hear today. Hey, did you see this guy got a foot job in Vegas last night? From who? I'm interested.
Did you hear about it? No. His name was. I'll tell you off the air. I don't believe that the Packers organization and fan base, and just the way that they're viewed, Jordan Love taking over from Aaron Rodgers is too nuanced of a discussion to have.
This is a Packers organization, Horvat. That, for the last thirty years, has underwhelmed. Yeah, truly, I do believe. Thirty years, I don't know about. No, I believe.
I believe if any other team, even the Browns, even whoever, if any other team in the league had fifteen years of Brett Favre and fifteen years of Aaron Rodgers. They are winning minimum one Super Bowl. Rogers was never—he was always going to win one. Favre was always going to win one. Jordan Love is not always going to win one.
Okay, there's the difference. He's not going to be a Hall of Famer. The Packers won Super Bowls in spite of themselves. They won because of Favre. They won because of Rogers.
They're not going to win because of love. They can win with love, but they're not going to. He's not good enough to win you a Super Bowl on his own. The Browns would have had three Super Bowls with Favre. The funny thing about the one that they win with Rogers is Rogers wasn't even that great yet.
Like he threw double-digit picks that year. The entire team was hurt. He got concussed like once or twice. And then when he was at his best, they kept drafting shitty defenders. And then his eventual replacement.
Then again, maybe Aaron Rodgers was always a system quarterback too, and it was just the McCarthy offense. Because let's not forget Matt Flynn throwing for like 600 yards in that game against an 0-15 team. Wasn't Dan Campbell on that team? Isn't that the anecdote? Think so.
You're wondering what I'm doing. I got to plug in my computer, real quick. Yeah, I don't want to talk much more on this. Anyway, I'm getting stressed out. I'm supposed to be in a good mood.
We are. I am in a good. I was just saying. Can I say something else? Would you sons of bitches stop telling me when you're gonna block me on Twitter?
Why does that make you feel good? Just block me and move the fuck on. I just wanted to ask you. See, now you're swearing. I wasn't swearing.
I was doing so good. I I do backed up bitches. Go figure. No, I I am clean. I pooped.
I'm good. Yeah, me too. It just hurt. I uh. I like.
I was just asking you if you have been pleased with the Jordan Love experience, only because every time I go on Twitter, you're ripping Lafleur and calling him scrappy. And I think Lafleur's been terrible too. Don't get me wrong. I was just saying, like when they were losing, it was always for you. It was always Rogers' fault.
You didn't hate Lafleur yet. In fact, you actually blamed Rogers because he was changing Lafleur's shitty play calls at the line of scrimmage. No, that was my evil twin, Blart Winkler. Look, my whole point is it's hard to win in the NFL whether you're Rogers, Jordan Love, Favre when you're surrounded by idiots. And I think Brian Dudi Kens is the biggest idiot of it all.
And I got one more thing to say on this. One more.
Okay. I am sick and tired of every time. Every time, can I just complain about Lafleur? Because every time I do. Oh Bart, sticking up for the front office again?
No, I'm not. Bootlicker. It's like it's like if I were to say, "God, I hate winter." Oh, geez, Bart loves spring. The fuck if I do. It's all muddy and shit.
I only like fall. Summer's too hot. Winter's too cold. Spring is too stupid. Fall is it for me?
I hate. I like the summer. Anyway, let's get back to the picks. All right, we got the Saints are two point dogs against Minnesota. Total in the game is forty two.
Here's another one where I bet it. Give me the points. Yeah, I want three. We're not getting it. The Saints look terrible in a prime time.
Is it in New Orleans? It's in the dome, so they don't have to travel this week. Doesn't the line know that the Vikings have Odell Beckham Jr. and And the like that defense might carry Kyler Murray to an undefeated season. I don't think that happens.
I think two points, Vikings. Here you go. This is the Ryan Horvat, Joe Budden pump, pump, pump it up special of the week. Give me multiple units. Saints don't only just cover the two, two and a half that Pato just moved to.
They win the game outright. Saints plus one twenty four. This is Bart Winkler's drive to Pato, Vikings. Oh, you are going against me. Yeah, no, that's a bad move.
I'm gonna be talking so much shit to you this entire game, Saints. Other than the Packers, this is my favorite bet of the weekend. Saints, isn't this a noon kick? You're going to be talking shit to me about this kick during Packers Bears. I can't believe you really like this Minnesota team.
Every that's the issue. They're undefeated because you keep picking them every week. You're the lucky star for them. Go against them. At Edward Jones, we believe rich means opening yourself to new possibilities.

We need someone like Madonna again. All these celebrities now are too manufactured, too corporate. Sydney Sweetie putting a football in front of her. I just need like Madonna to like scare parents into thinking that they you can't listen to Madonna. She's she's the anti.
She's singing devil's songs. We need her back. You know, man. Like I just got done talking about how you have to have like a perfect situation to have success as a quarterback. What about Shuck though in New Orleans?
No run game. No offensive line. He's got. He's good.
Sorry, that's what I'm saying. He's balling out without anything. He's good.
You know what? Saints are going to win this game by at least a field goal. That's my favorite bet of the weekend. Let's go to Miami. Dolphins are six and a half point dogs.
Of the Bengals, total forty two and a half. My God, this total opened at forty nine and a half. Dolphins are covering. Bengals will win by a field goal. I just don't trust the Bengals to win by margin.
The defense looked lights out for. What's the spread? Great about my Super Bowl pick: six and a half. I like the Dolphins to cover. Miami might win, and you know everybody's going Bengals survivor.
Burrow, I love Burrow, dude, and I just again, I'm all over the place with the quarterbacks, but isn't he like one in thirty-seven when trailing going into the fourth quarter?
Okay, I'll ride Dolphins with you because I do think that people like I should have done is they're riding Miami's opponent in Survivor and this week it'll bite them. Yeah, I'll ride with you. Also, I think you. I think you take the Vikings if they're not four and zero. Yeah, yeah.
But the fact that they are four and zero, you think they have to get a loss in there?
So six six and a half. Yeah. Jamar Chase is in concussion protocol. T Higgins is day to day. No official ruling if those guys are in or out.
I'm going to say probably. I would expect T to play, maybe not Chase. I don't know. The concussion protocol is so weird now. It should just be that you have to sit out the next week.
Yeah, what do they even test? You know what, too, Horvat? Concussions don't cure in a week. The concussion—it's not like some of them linger forever. Yeah, Corey Koski.
Remember when he banged his head on the Miller Park turf? I do. He can't even see lights still. Yeah, that's crazy. All right, Dolphins though for both of us.
Here's so Jets' light stays on all weekend. I feel like Aaron Glenn, as terrible as he is, is going to get a little boost from his buddy Ben Johnson. Said, "Hey, you guys are right there." Which I want to hate Ben Johnson, and I do when we play him, but I kind of. I want a Ben Johnson. I want the coach that's a cock to everybody else, the smartest guy in the room.
You know what I mean? Like he's a dick. I wish we had a dick. Instead, we get scrappy, as you like to call him. Jets win.
They beat the Browns. Everybody's feeling great about the Browns. They're three and one. They're in first place. They just beat Rogers in prime time, typical Rogers McCarthy fashion, where you know they're bickering at each other, but.
They put up enough points to win the game, and the defense lets them down. I think the Jets are going to go back home and win this game by a field goal. I love the Jets this weekend against the Browns. People are feeling Cleveland too much. Deshaun Watson's going to have a stinker, and people are going to hate him again.
And I can't wait for it. I hated what Antwitt Prime did, like the the Deshaun Watson redemption story. What was that? Do you think that people have written Geno Smith off? I have my fantasy team.
I benched him for Kyler Murray. I have like a two quarterback dynasty league. This is why. Yeah, but I ain't right back. Yeah, Geno Smith.
Geno Smith is not good. Three touchdowns against this Browns team, though. He was not good when he won Comeback Player of the Year. What he even even come back from anything? He just was less shitty than normal.
I had this conversation the entire year. I was like, "What's he coming back from?" He got his jaw broken by a teammate, and then he never started again. He's coming back from sucking. If you get pun, if you're the quarterback of a team and you get punched in the face by your own teammate, like you should never have a job again. It's the one guy you can't even touch in practice, and somebody just walked up to him and stuck him in the jaw.
How are the Jets thinking that Geno Smith should come back here? Geno Smith is bad. He Aaron Glenn is such an idiot, and I mean this with all due respect. He's so stupid that he watched Geno Smith last year, and he was like, "You know who saves our? You know who saves my job?
Geno Smith." Geno Smith. This makes no. This at at face value. At face value, this sentence is like no way, but it is true. Geno Smith is the most overrated quarterback of the last ten years.
I almost said last year in Seattle, they won a Super Bowl. They fucking finally get rid of him, and they win a Super Bowl. Yeah, Geno Smith was holding them back. We got nine wins. Oh, good, Donkey Dot nuts over here gets nine fucking wins.
They're like Sam Sam Darnold could get the job done. Shit! Let's pay. Let's pay Geno Smith. Pay Geno Smith.
God, crazy, right? Brees Hall is still out. I believe he didn't practice. Are we almost done? How many games we have?
Yeah, we got me all hot and bothered about Brock Purdy for some reason. No, about Jordan Love. Oh yeah. I was just so like, if the Packers get a new head coach next year, Jordan Love MVP, right? Do you think this is?
Thirteen percent body fat, right here, or what? Oh my fucking god! You know what? I was actually going to skip the gym tomorrow for my birthday. That was my motivation right there.
I'll be in at five a.m. Hey, you know anyone else who ever quit drinking and then gained fifteen fucking pounds? I feel like that happens, or maybe that's quitting smoking. I don't know. Pittsburgh goes back and again, I had Alvers and Subway yesterday.
The I almost said the pirates because I'm just yeah the pirates the Steelers are two and a half point favorites over the Colts. The total in the game is forty four and a half. Again, like the Colts won a game. I hate to travel back to the United States for this situation and. I feel like because Rogers and McCarthy almost killed each other on national TV, they're going to be on the same page.
The defense can't be any worse. Like TJ Watt wanted to, it's always Rogers that's the bad guy. TJ Watt told the coordinator, the defensive coordinator is a fucking idiot, and he is. But they bounce back and they beat this Colts team, who's still shit. Steelers by three.
If it moves to three, I'm not betting it. If it stays at two and a half, I'm betting it. If I have a good college football Saturday, Steelers baby. Roger. I I wasn't listening.
My wife sent me a text. She's at she's at a horse race in Lexington, Kentucky. Spark notes. I think the Steelers beat the Colts by at least three, and they would need to do so to cover because they're two and a half point favorites.
Okay, so this travel situation for Indy. Yeah, Steelers.
Okay, so this Urse. She's on the field.
So and everyone's like, "It's not that big of a deal." This was before the game. I don't give a shit. It's a terrible look. Get the, come on. Would you call here?
You can't manage like that. Yeah, I feel like it's a Netflix special, man. Or not a special like that show where um, Kate Hudson takes over the basketball team. If you're going to be that involved, then just do the fucking job. Just go up in the booth and do whatever.
Be the coach. Yeah. Do who did that? Ted Turner for a game. Ted Turner did that.
Just be Ted Turner. Yeah, it's not cool either. It's not funny. It's not cute. Also, K.
Adams looks like Laura Loomer now. What the fuck is that about? And why can't we talk about it? I don't even know. I haven't seen her.
It's terrible. She lipped her face up really bad. I haven't seen it yet. You know what I have seen though? This Patriots team, who doesn't look very good, but they do come out with the win last week.
They go back home, but we're not allowed to talk about it. This is K. Adams Horvat. How? Maybe she just got a lot.
Maybe it's the makeup from the camera. Look at this filler. Who likes this? No one. Why do ladies do this?
No one likes it. I don't know. Patriots three and a half point favorites over the Raiders. You know, before the year bar, this was an eight and a half point spread. But what's changed is the Patriots are crap and the Raiders are pretty good.
I still I like the Patriots here. I am tempted to grab the points here with the Raiders, but um. Again, dude, I still think there's a chance that we see Fernando Mendoza and the wheels kind of fall off here. The defense has been balling out. I do think they got it right with the head coach.
I like Kubiak, but I think the Patriots kind of found something again last week. And after crying on the sidelines like a bitch, I think Drake May bounces back from two weeks ago.
So Patriots by four. I am going to absolve myself or abstain myself from picking Patriots games the rest of the season because I'm going to pick against them every time.
So I'm going to pick the Raiders. I I don't know what it is, but I hate Mike Vrabel. Like I hate his demeanor. I hate what he represents. I hate his like white man entitlement.
I hate everything about him. I hate Mike Vrabel, and I can't pick. I like I hate Mike Vrabel. Vrabs. If I was going to marry a girl and her dad was like Mike Vrabel, even if she was the love of my life, I'd say I'm not marrying you.
I'll marry her sister. I don't believe that.
Okay. What? What? What? All right.
What's next? All right.
Um. I'm gonna grab a dog here. The Chargers, I bet them every week. They've let me down every week in embarrassing fashion. I did finally get a push.
They're three and a half point dogs to the Broncos, who are two and two. Sertan gets hurt last week. I think we overhyped the Broncos. I hate Rabel more than I hate Peyton, and I hate Sean Payton. He's taken back over play calling, which I think we all know what that means.
He is. Yep. Yeah, hold on. What was the point? The the I I don't trust what happened there because that first game they're on TV.
They were very clear on television that Davis Webb was calling the plays. Like I've never heard a game where they pointed out the play caller as many times. I think Sean Payton set him up to fail so that they'd have to run back to Sean Payton because Sean Payton's the kind of guy who needs his dick scratched every fucking day. I don't know what that means, but he's a piece of shit too. All these coaches are piece of shit.
Fucking football! Why do the worst fucking men on this planet have to coach this wonderful sport? They're all losers. They all think they're so cool. I coach football.
My dick looks like a fucking slab of meat. Eat, fuck you. I'm going to Poto. I think the Chargers might beat the Broncos, so I'm going to grab the three and a half. Um, they're going to win a game.
Yeah, I'll take. I was gonna say San Diego, Jesus.
Well, the Chargers. All right, so we both like the Chargers. Game of the week, maybe. Seattle, three and one. San Fran, four.
This game's so good. They move Packers Bears to noon. I think they made the right choice here. Seattle is the defending champ. They're at home.
They open as a three and a half point favorite. Niner money comes in. It's now three total in the game, forty six and a half. I. Hate that I got to do this, man.
Because I I don't like betting against Shaney in San Francisco, especially when catching points in a divisional game. But I think this is a good spot here for Seattle. I think they win this game by six, so I'll take the Seahawks as a three point favorite.
Now that we're off the three and a half, at worst I get a push if they win this game by a field goal. They're the defending champs. Darnold's now another week healthier. The defense is still the best in football, and Mike McDonald's a G. I love Shanahan.
This is going to be a really damn good game. Total went from forty-eight and a half to forty-six and a half. I agree with that. I like the under. I'm going to go twenty-four twenty actually, Seattle.
So under and a cover for the Seahawks. I'm going to take the Forty Niners on their quest to host and then lose the NFC Championship game to the Dallas Cowboys. Niners, Dallas. Feel like the '90s again, baby. Yeah, we're going to have Bills, Chiefs on the other side.
So the Lions opened as an eight and a half point favorite. It's down to five and a half against Arizona. Arizona's not good. Obviously, they're one and three, and they start Jacoby Brissett in the Lord's year, two thousand twenty-six. But they're competitive.
I am going to take Detroit. Jacoby Brissett is the second most overrated quarterback in the last ten years. He should never start a game ever. I'm not going to bet this game. If I were to, I'd probably actually take the points with Arizona.
But for pick purposes, because I need the Lions to get their shit together on the defensive side of the ball, I'd go Lions. The total in this game went from 48 and a half before the season to 54 and a half. That's how bad that Lions defense is. The offense is still legit, but they can't get consistent stops for me to trust them to win by margin. But maybe it's like a pick six late in this game.
I'll go Lions five and a half over Arizona. Lions have the. Classic problem of the offense is too good, so they score too quick, which means the defense is out there too much, which means the defense is out there a lot, and they can't keep up, so they have to win barn burners. They're a victim of their own success in a way. I like Detroit by double digits.
Atlanta's a three-point favorite over Baltimore, which leads you to believe we will not see Lamar out there. Total in the game went from forty-eight and a half to forty-three and a half.
So I will say Atlanta because it's we don't know if Lamar's even going to be out there. Again, though, if you wanted to bet it, so who's their backup now? Baltimore's Huntley. Oh, right, ain't it? I don't know.
Want a Google race? Yeah, it's it's Huntley. Whatever, having a Trace McSorley, he's not good. He can't throw the fucking football. I am gonna take the Ravens.
Yeah, you know what, man? Like, it went from Atlanta was a four and a half point dogged, and now they're a three point favorite. I know they're at home and they've looked good on prime time a couple weeks. And Bijan might be the best football player. That's the thing.
We've we've watched. We were told that Atlanta sucks. Then we watch them in prime time twice in a row. We have to watch them again. I hate that the NFL does this.
They always do this. Yeah, and if anybody's going to come in for Lamar Snoop Huntley, he's been doing it for the last ten years, and we always see the same result. They probably won't win, but they'll lose by two.
So actually, I'm with you. I'll go Baltimore plus three. Yeah, I like Derrick Henry to have a buck seventy. All right, last one. Monday night game.
It's going to be awesome. I bet this one immediately. I thought though the Bills were going to win last week, and we were going to get the Bills four and O. This one now scares me. I bet the Rams.
As down as I am, Bills Rams is Monday night. Monday night, and I got the. Oh, I'm not going to watch. I can't watch it. Brewers game two, son.
DVR it and don't check the results. Get two fucking screens. No. Why? Because.
I can't watch just one screen. I'd I'd lose my mind, dude. Anyway, I really wanted the Rams to lose last week, man. It would have made my no playoff bet look that much better. But I think they win here.
I I just I think they go back home and they get right.
So I hate to do it. I got to go Rams. I bet one and a half though. It's three now, so I got the closing line value.
So watch Buffalo win outright. Who do you like? I like the Bills. Of course you do. Hey, can I ask you something like not related to this, but I just have a question for you.
I want to know if other people experience this. Sure. So my wife was out of town last night, and a lot of the times she'd be out of town. I'm taking care of my kid, but I'm also drinking.
Okay. And last night, even though I did not drink, I feel like I did. Yeah, because it was a situation where I'm normally drinking. Because I'm going to go to New Orleans for Packer Saints, and I'm going to like not drink in New Orleans. But I might feel like I'm drinking because it's a situation where I would normally drink.
So what I'm saying is, if you have the same scenario, and in every time you're in that scenario, you're drinking. The next couple times you're in that scenario, if you're not drinking, you're going to feel like you're drunk. Yeah. Sometimes I feel like when I have like a lot of shitty food over the weekend, I feel hungover.
So I wonder if like my hangovers were always bad, or if it was just like I would drink and then eat crappy food, like at White Castle at 4 a.m., and that's why I was hungover. You know what? Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner.
Sometimes I feel like my only friend is the city I live in—the city of angels. You know, Chili Peppers might be the most overrated band in music history. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are. No band was designed to skip more on Spotify than the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Like, oh, I like this song, and then ten seconds later, you're like, yeah, I don't want to hear it though.
In a world where, right? In a world where, like, cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel culture. That too. Cancel culture is so, like, you know, everywhere. How have the Chili Peppers not got canceled?
Like, there's some fucking creeps, dude. Anthony Kiedis is like a legit weirdo. Google that stuff. Doesn't Kiedis like? Marry young girls just to marry their even younger cousin, isn't that?
No, they're all goofballs. Although Flea used to get buckets on Rock and Jack. I think he hit a one hundred pointer at one point. Him, Bill Bellamy, were always pretty good. Dan Cortez, Dan Cortez, MTV Sports, Bill Bellamy, How to Be a Player, great movie.
I used to watch that when my never mind parents would leave the house. What else you got going on, Mario? It's my birthday. I got the house to myself. I might go see a movie.
Going to watch some football this weekend. Got a lot of money on the college games. Going to Sturgill Simpson next week, so nothing this weekend. You're living like you're retired. When this is why people retire at sixty-five and they don't get to enjoy this.
You're retired in your forties. You get to enjoy all of this. Yeah, it's nice being retired. It's great. It's great.
Might hit the golf course. It's actually like 78 here, which is weird because it was like 43 degrees when I woke up this morning and walked to the gym, and now it's like 78. You almost have to do like a wardrobe change, like you're at a fucking. Same. It.
It's 50 when we walk to school, and it's 72 when I pick them up. Like I'm at a Rihanna. It's like I'm Jennifer Lopez. You know, every fucking hour I'm coming out in a new outfit. Who runs the world?
That's beyond. Anyway, I got to get back to my chicken and rice. It's gain season, and then we got to take some fiber, so it doesn't feel like a razor blade coming out of my ass tomorrow. Do you understand how many shows there are on the radio that try to perfect even one tenth of the knowledge, entertainment, and chemistry that we have, and they'll never come close? Yet here we sit.
In our basement and kitchen, talking to each other, isn't that fucked up? I like the kitchen more than the studio for me because, like, I feel like whoever lives above my studio either has a pogo stick or they just fuck constantly. Because all I hear is just like doosh doosh doosh, and they don't have kids. Are they fucking? Because I'm always like, I always tell my kid, like, you know.
Cause on the we live on the east coast, so we live in a fucking apartment.
So like my kid, when he's bouncing around, I'm like, dude, don't be a dick. Think of the people below us. The people above us don't think.
So I like the kitchen. And why don't you do the broom thing and like they did in Friends, and then kill the guy. I like being able to do. I like being able to do this too. Just refill your water.
I'm not drinking water right now. I told you I'm not. I'm off mixed drinks, and water is the greatest mixed drink of them all. Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. Did you say you're not drinking water?
Yeah, it's a mixed drink. I'm very confused on this. I like to call water a mixed drink. It's my classic chemistry joke because it's two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, H2O. No one's ever laughed at it, but I'll continue.
I'll continue. I'll get that laugh. I couldn't even give the fake one. No, and that's why I respect you. The best part about being retired and not having to do radio anymore is I never have to fake laugh at jokes.
At the tricky bar the other day, ah, funny. Can I please have some more hours? Laugh at your shitty jokes. The bosses were the worst. Oh, yeah.
Oh, Pete's right. Where was the laugh track on that one? Yeah, hit it. Yeah, I missed that one. Where that one, dipshit.
Hey, I'm off water. I don't drink mixed drinks anymore. All right, I gotta go. I got stuff to do. Hey, got that spare tire on you, huh?
All right, get the fuck out of here! All right, we are live again after Packers Bears, and then after Brewers Dodgers. Jason says apparently Mountain Dew is made of people. Should have thought about that before agreeing to this deal with you. I think fast food is made of people.
There's no way there's that many cows to make all these burgers, and they're not making new cemeteries anymore. Where are the dead going? It ain't real meat. It's special meat, dude. Why is there no new cemeteries?
When's the last time you saw grand opening for a cemetery? When? Do they do? Have they ever done that? I used to do radio remotes in the '90s for new cemeteries.
